Whew, Run 8 down. I don't think I'll try to squeeze another one in, 8 is kinda my yearly limit lol. Took all 8 runs and some job fair, but I've managed to use all 20 jobs again

ultrafilter posted:

Same :toxx: as last year. Use all twenty regular jobs and I'll donate $20 plus your job fair expenses (up to the total price of one of each regular job). Any kind of run is fine except for #fifthjob or some other mode that has you using more than four jobs in a single playthrough.

If you're going to do this, I suggest that you plan ahead a bit. This is going to take at least five runs, and you don't want the last one to be something like Monk/Berserker/Geomancer/Dragoon. There is no requirement to do this in exactly five runs, but more than that is a lot of FFV.



And job fair expenses (total $18):

Planning a big streaming event tomorrow for a new Fiesta run, decided to just do a regular #Chaos run instead of anything too crazy because I was lukewarm on what my first run this year gave me... first roll is Geomancer :negative:

I decided that I really wanted a second Aegis shield, so I ended up doing Rugwizard with Freelancer + Bard.

That was painful.

Would’ve been less painful to just thief knife an Aegis from the back end of the Rift. The only times you should kill Rugwizard are if you have the tools to kill rugwizard or if you really, really don’t want to reroll Mime or an Advance class but are also playing on a clean/uncheated version of the game. The second free Aegis isn’t worth the stress, Monks are still bad even with Kaiser Knuckles, and there is basically no instance where the Titan’s Axe outdamages the Rune Axe.

I didn't know that I could steal one in the Rift, or I might have tried that instead. I made things harder by going in with the Bonemail; I didn't realize that with 2 people the Rugwizard would only drain the character without the mail yet consistently bounce Curas onto the person with the mail. At least buffing speed + strength made things much better once I switched over to aggressively bouncing mage masher procs and smacking him in the face with the Excalibur.

Thanks to the power of music (and getting my Berserk mini'ed) I finally knuckled down and finished my run.







After how rough some of the random encounters could be, it was very cathartic to go into Neo Exdeath so hopped up on tunes that he barely got 1 attack off.

FWIW your team definitely didn't need reflect rings for W2 Exdeath* and probably didn't need them for the Crystals either.

Yeah, they're the rare steal off of Gorgimeras, the chimera-looking things in the last part of the Void.

I should really get my Literally Free Triple Crown done, but somehow one of the strongest setups I've had in fiesta history (MYS/RNG/CHM/RDM) has hit all of my :effort: buttons.

Admiral Joeslop

Despite having Summoner/Chemist/Black Mage/Dancer, I couldn't be bothered to Triple Crown. Too much RNG on Omega at this point in time. Only four runs this year but that's fine!

Anyway, toxxes!

Admiral Joeslop posted:

I'm running behind on it but I :toxx: that I will pay $.01 per rod broken, and $.10 per speed trap, up to $50, as tracked on the Discord.

Admiral Joeslop posted:

:toxx:

I'm adding another late toxx because gently caress it. $1 for every normal kill of the Tyrannosaur in the Moogle Cave, without exploiting its Undead status. That means no Phoenix Downs, no Healing Items, just a regular fight. The limit will be $25. Quote this or something of mine so it's easier to see, if you please.

Edit: It'll have to be the honor system unless you feel like recording the entire fight I guess.

Carbybot tells me:

83 Speed Trap victims for $8.30.
2250 rods broken for $22.50

My notes tell me:
23 T-rex kills without undead abuse: $23.

For a grand total of $75! Don't worry about the math, it's something to do with magic I'm sure.

PMush Perfect posted:

I have a thing! I got money, so let's use some of it for something good.

:toxx:

Over the next... let's say couple weeks, it'll be a bit before I can get my check in, I'm going to give $0.10 for every Fat Chocobo summoned. The command .chonk will now count on Carbybot, using the same syntax as the existing rod counter, so use that. I will do this up to, let's say, $30. I will also add $1 for every picture posted of a player hitting NED with a Fat Chocobo. (Only one per run, obviously.) That max will be $20.

I am also putting a $10 bounty of video proof of someone killing NED with a Fat Chocobo. This one's been claimed!


173 Fat Chocobo calls: $17.30

And I don't feel like going back to count the exact number of images there are in the Discord over the past two months, so let's just highball it and say it maxed out at the full $20. So, using the same math as Admiral, that brings us to...



I think? Yeah, that seems right.

I finished 6 runs this year. I did less than last year but at least I went out of my way to fufill some dumb toxxes.
Run 6: Dancer/Bard/(JobFaired!Samurai)/Berserker part 2 (refer to my last post for me killing Adamantoise and Archeoaevis with 4 Bards for that toxx):

I honestly forgot if these were fully paid out already-

Aerdan posted:

The Skald :toxx:
$1 per run, up to $20, for each run wherein a Bard hits an enemy with an axe.

I know it's $1 per run but I had to- if only for consistency of every other toxx I went and fulfilled via triple crowns:





palindrome posted:

:toxx: I'll pledge $50 each for the first 2 people ($100 total) that can submit a post neo-exdeath "THE END" party screen where all four party members that have the same amount of EXP. :toxx:


I realize while posting this I did not go out of my way to master every ability on everyone :eng99:





I also forgot to go into the Trench for that toxx. :(


Anyway on my end-

Well, I started my third run, Chaos about 45 to 50 days ago and then let it languish right before adamantoise. I burnt myself out grinding shells and too many dark matters.

Today I picked it back up to try to finish it and through the power of Chemistry and Break Rod I finished it in a day and got a triple crown.

Run 3: Chemist / Berserker / Time Mage / Red Mage



Omega I just quickleaked. I didn't feel up to fighting the robot as a solo chemist.



Shinryu I berserked, blinded, and then let Faris do big hits with a rune axe at lvl 99.



NED was the old "make yourself immortal fighting TreeDeath before unloading" I turned Faris into a frog so she couldn't hurt TreeDeath while I buffed everyone up. The moment I turned her back to normal she did a 9999 Rune Axe hit and the rest was history. Ate a grand cross, Faris became a zombie and Lenna became old. No big deal I had plenty of holy water. Ran real low on turtle shells though.

More than Star Citizen will ever be.

Managed to finish my run on the last day. I totally forgot all about it. Thankfully I had stopped playing just before entering the rift.

Exdeath got Syldra'd to death.



Shinryu got berserked and kissed to death while golem protected me.



Here was my team









Pretty easy run, as any run with Chemist and Summoner should be.

I only got two runs down this year, and I doubt I'm going to get around to taking out Shin or Omega with this team, so screw it, I think I'm done.

Also, I think it's about time I called my own :toxx: 10 people completed it, for $5 per run.



Congrats and good work to everyone who gave it a go.
