Would it be better to get my best medals upgraded to 6* star and then worry about getting them upgraded/guilted, or work on it before I get them up to 6*?

What do you guys think about this "Big" daily deal? As someone who's only drawn twice and currently has 1800 jewels, should I take it up if I can?

Not quite an answer for you, but to me, it comes down to two things: how badly do I need more/better medals right now, and how rare are Cid medals. No idea on the latter bit there.

Actually I believe Taxeom is the only party on Anguis right now, but I could be wrong.

yessss

except, i don't have a poison medal, so...welp

I'm presuming at this point that the only way to get poison is via random drop from medal purchases? poo poo. I finally thought I was doing reasonably well with my power medals, went into speed proud quest, and everything sans my only 6* - Black Coat Riku - was doing 1 damage. Just...*mrgrgrgrgrgrr*!



Also, holy hacked leaderboards, Batman. I figured the developers would do something about it, but we're almost a month in and nada. That's rather uninspiring.

I'm looking at clearing the Speed one as my Treasure Trove is pretty good (mostly due to KH Cloud, who does decent damage even on their ridiculous defense), though I could give Speed a shot as I've got plenty of strong ST there. Everyone says that poison is useful for this though, but since status only applies when you do a normal tap attack it's kind of hard to pick who to give it to. I've been considering Beast as most of the time you don't want to use his special anyway, but Tinkerbell (my only decent healing medal) is another possibility. Was thinking I'd give her my defense boost, though - I don't have any of the good buff medals or Minnie so there's not really many other good picks right now. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

e: yeah I'm just going ahead and putting Poison on Beast and Defense Boost on Tinkerbell; I have a spare Beast so there's no harm in feeding him off, and I'll want her for harder content anyway so it makes sense for her to get the defense boost. Best if I get this all sorted out before I lose access to the skill up dungeon.

I'm glad you said that bit about status effects only occurring on tapping, because I was about to throw poison on my 24% Guilted Stitch, and that would've been a disaster. Think I'll follow your lead and throw it on my KH2 Yuffie (my filler 5* medal that I've been using). Gonna wait and see if the Zootopia medals actually do drop tomorrow, and if so, spend some jewels and try to get Judy/Nick (+2 atk boost at 3 cost green medal/+1 atk boost at 1 cost red medal) and potentially throw defense boost on one of them. Otherwise, I'll throw it on KH2 Aerith. There's almost no situation I foresee that I wouldn't use an attack boost medal, so I figure it's a good investment.

I'm still trying to figure out what medal I plan to use long-term between Tidus (6* 12% guilted) and KH Sora Ver. A (6* 12% guilted). Can't afford to use both of them along with Stitch right now.


Tangential edit: Can I just say how weird it is having a Level 1 Guard Armor that I can demolish now instead of that ungodly level 38 monstrosity? Because it feels weird.

Ugh. I was actually going to buy that Judy Hopps board, until I found out they changed it for the NA release. (2 tiers of attack up in JP, 1 tier in NA) I heard that the Nick Wilde one also got nerfed from the JP one.
That's disappointing. But saves me jewels. I'll just keep using Aerith/Diz/Vivi.

Ugh. I'm giving it a day or two for them to fix it if it's in error. Otherwise, guess I'm saving some money this go-around.

So far, best bet on the bee boss is to do story 57 twice and then the event once. It takes 75 heartless kills to spawn a raid boss, and the eggs in the event apparently count as 25 kills each, but I've only seen the extra pack of two spawn once so far. So it comes down to either 29 AP for one boss or anywhere from 15 to 45 for just doing the event.

I want to say that the Omega spawns more frequently at the appointed time, but we'll have to wait for tonight to see.

Wonder what the new medals will be.

If I'm reading the JAP medal list right, it's a red medal (real shocker there), with the specialty of ignoring attack type? I....don't see that being useful.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tvIsIlCDm7ANN12GU_rJ-GBYbqF8MrVQxlMCWpcW9UQ/edit#gid=0 - number 319 on that list.

Do you nerds have unlimited money? This weeks pack gimmick is when you buy a ten pack you get to choose a bonus medal; Donald ver. B, Master Form Sora, or KH1 Cloud.

While nice, I think I'll keep holding out for premium medals before I start dropping more jewels. I wonder when those'll start popping up.

Was sitting on a stash of jewels, still needed a DiZ to have a strength boost for each type, so I pulled. Got the DiZ, a BC King Mickey, KH 2 Leon Ver. B, Hercules, and enough Wakkas to get mine guilted finally, as well as the freebie KH Cloud. I was hoping to get some extra KH 1 Rikus, but overall, I'm very happy with it.

A few questions for those in the know:

- Are the super rare premiums (Sephiroth, Sora & Friends) one and done, or have they ever been known to come back?
- Approximately what is the chance per draw to get them? (I'm going with between bullshit and never.)
- Is Pinocchio the goddamn devil?

Speaking of Taxeom, actually, any of you with decent Magic medals mind swapping to sharing them? Because Taxeom in general is pretty stacked for good reds and greens but there's only like two people sharing good blues and I'm one of them and I can't use my own blue.

I've got a Yuna Guilted 12%ish, Selphie Guilted 14%ish, and Donald A Guilted 12%ish, take your pick. This does, however, mean I'd be taking down my Stitch - Guilted 23%. 'Ze choice is yours.

I should probably feel bad about all the phone alerts I've been setting off for my party members, but I kinda don't. I'm sitting somewhere over 2 million lux and ranked 86th in leopardos right now.

Level 50+ whales suck because it takes so many tries to finally kill them, but I love that they double the event coin reward at that point. Didn't think I'd make it to that last Cid on the third board in time!

I've been procrastinating like crazy on this event, only just barely finished a single board. I might drop a couple hundred jewels just to refresh and keep going tomorrow and Sunday (my whales are only around level 19 right now).

Thanks for the info. I'll shoot for as many of the 3* medals as I can to start grabbing orbs. I'm only up to mission 30 at level 14 so I guess there's time to gently caress up.

I tried the $15 medal lottery this morning since the week was starting. I don't really know what I was expecting, but I got some stuff that may or may not be bad. I can't tell. I think having access to the challenges is cool, but I'm guessing it would have been a lot more useful if I was higher level.



I'm jealous. I also did the weekly deal, best medal was CoM Riku. Really need to work on my spending habits, hehe.

Richard M Nixon posted:

Is there a commonly agreed upon order that I should be upgrading my keyblades, given the artificially limited materials?

I've heard differing opinions on upgrading Starlight or the 3 pure color keyblades first, I went with the latter. Given that there is enough orichalcums in game to upgrade everything at this point, it's pretty much pick your poison. The only caveat is I'd say save Olympia for last, it's just not as useful early on.


Also, now is pretty much the only time I'd ever advocate dropping some cash on the weekly deal, because the VIP upgrade quests are ridiculously useful and go a helluva lot quicker than doing each upgrade/evolve quest separately. That, and the munny VIP quest is insane (you average 1 giant moogle medal per regular, you typically get about 4-5 in the VIP one). To maximize your benefits, probably start on Monday, because you'll only get limited usefulness this weekend even with 1 AP quests ongoing.

"just an 80% boost"

holy christ that goon party has so much power behind it

The best I'm able to manage over here is a 16% boost from two of my DDD medals. I never bothered to use Cids on my Meow Wow so I can't throw him to make it 24% without having to ditch a different 6* for a 5* to cover the Cost and that would start making it actually difficult for me to clear the sodding thing, might try anyway.

If I can get someone in my party to share even just a DDD medal I can get a cool 30% and that will be nice

Shared 3D Riku for you. I might get a guilted Illustrated Yuffie for you, depends if I drop jewels on the Cloud board.
