The Discord's going absolutely crazy. It's awesome.

I had no OSB's before this. Now I can build a dark team around Kuja and Sephiroth and any elemental team around Butz.

Habs 2006: Cristobal Persuasion

Nothing groundbreaking, but I think I have a complete Squall now. And I drew Pecil BSB2 yesterday, so it's tank time for FF4. A fine pull on baby RNGesus' birthday.

Both XP dungeons have a higher rate of return. In particular the + dungeon gives out 588K per stage, or even more if you get a Magic Pot.

I just did it today and got 645K on the first stage with a pot. I don't think Sunday was boosted.

Sunday was definitely boosted compared to other days, as with one pot yesterday you'd get ~780K XP instead (as opposed to the above 645K). Or without a pot, on regular days you'd get ~480K per wave (instead of 588K). The net result is that all days are good for XP, but Sunday is even better.

I scrounged around for some dark orbs so I could make a R2 Dread Weapon for Gabranth. Took him to the U++ Demon Wall fight and his Dread Weapon casts did 8.5k x4 after his USB.

Arg, too bad you didn't start a few days ago so you could really leverage the three luckies!

Yes, you're going to want to do the Holiday Lucky Relic Draw Phase 3 (and the Phase 2 right now if you have 50 Mythril).

The banners you should absolutely not roll on for any reason are the Newcomers' Welcome Relic Draw Banners, which are three banners at the bottom of the list representing FFVII, X, and XIII. These are absolute trash.

Other than that, run Realm dungeons for more Mythril and stamina, and also the current FFXII event, Unswayed by Phantoms. You won't be able to get very far in it, but the first few levels are negative-challenge even for a newbie, and you'll be able to rack up a few more Mythril and characters.

When you're starting out, use any character you get relics for, no matter who it is. You should be able to utilize Thunder God Cid as a Realm Warrior in order to chump a good deal of content in order to get the rewards. Go here: https://friends-ffrk.com/ and search for the Soul Break "Thunder God" and add as many to your friends list as possible. After you do that, you can steamroll through content and acquire Souls of Heroes for unlocking specific characters you get relics for.

Other than that, keep asking us questions and good luck! Post your 6* lucky draw results here or in Discord and we'll tell you what to do! :D

TLDR: If you can get 50 Mythril in the next 10 minutes, roll on both. If not, SLAM Phase 3 ASAP.

I got soul king X for jecht, I might get another 50 tonight via newbie content? Should I roll phase 3 again?

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."

We all would throw every piece of mythril we had on it if it wasn't one time pull only.

The actual fest banners start soon, try to get some rolls on Phase 1, 3, 4 or 5 whichever strikes your fancy.

100% absolutely. His USB means that all jump attacks are instant-cast for as long as the USB buff is active. Mixed with Blood of the Wyvern (or the later Cyclone Bolt skill, or his BSB Command 1) that means you're popping out Lightning Dives as quickly as you get turns.
