On the subject of sharing medals, it helps to assess your guild's list of shared medals and see if you can fill any deficiencies in a medal type. Noxog, for instance, has Cagney's KH II Cloud medal which is a power medal with ~9300 attack, has Attack Plus, costs 2 gauges, and hits all enemies multiple times. You can't really do any better than that, however when it comes to magic medals, I think the best we have is Kotexx's which is a KH II Mickey which has something like ~6600 attack, costs 3 gauges, and hits everything once. It's strong, but the 3 gauge cost isn't ideal and the single hit doesn't help replenish your gauges mid-fight. If someone drew a better magic medal (ie 2 gauges, hits everything multiple times) but is sharing a power medal, they would better serve the guild by sharing that magic medal.

On another note, sharing medals that increase strength for a turn don't help at all because they hit a single target for a pittance and that buff disappears when your turn ends (ie before you can attack again), rendering it a wasted special attack.

I'm such a sucker for Dearly Beloved and all its variants. It's a really simple song yet still so beautiful. They could have done so much worse for the menu music.

I have 2800 jewels now and I'm at mission 200. I'm doing good on power and speed medals, but I'm in need of better magic medals. Should I save up another 200 jewels for a 10-pull or just do the daily pull every day? I'm inclined to the latter because even though I'm not guaranteed a 5 star medal I can get an extra 5 medals overall for the same amount of jewels.

I just did my first upgrade to 55 yesterday and have been making due with that. I've been fusing medals that I have no intent of using despite their star level. I'm working on four medals to get guilt, KH Sora v. A, Wakka, Yuna, and Paine, because I've picked up so many of them. I'm going to start funneling jewels into storage because being able to evolve these one rank per week isn't working and I need the storage for all the evolve medals required.

Speaking of those farm spot missions, I think the OP has a typo for the Cheshire Cat drops, they come from Pretenders in mission 63 not 163.

I was just about to ask if there was another level because I had no luck at all with 163 and had a power medal I really wanted to evolve today. Tried 63 and got a Cheshire Cat on my first go.

On an unrelated note, I'm a couple evolutions away from having a 6 Star KH Sora Ver. A with guilt and then a medal draw today gave me a 5 Star with Attack Boost All I. The medals I was planning with are a 5 Star with 1 dot, a 4 Star with 2 dots, and a 4 Star with 1 dot. These medals are fairly common drops, should I think about building up another one to make use of the Attack Boost, or should I just combine these all and not worry about the wasted dot?

I know this may be hard to believe, but apparently some players are cheating to top the weekly rankings! I never expected those 20 "Oblivion" guys couldn't have amassed 724 million lux by themselves!

If you're poor (in-game) then get on it before the tier 3 mission gets jacked up to 30 AP per go.

If you remove all the medals from your Olympus keyblade I think that would give you a pretty good shot at not 1-turning it.

I heard that it was something like a day behind for some reason now. Like it will tell you that you'll get 100 jewels for logging in today, but you'll only be awarded the 50 jewel login bonus that was for yesterday and you'll get that 100 jewel bonus tomorrow. I could be wrong, but my daily login bonus and what I'm actually being awarded has not matched for a couple weeks now.

Pro-tip: if you aren't trying to power up initially and are looking for rare medals then do the daily 600-jewel draw, don't opt for the 3000-jewel draw. Evolving medals is really easy once you're pretty well established so star rating doesn't matter as much as getting more medals so you can eventually guilt them. Doing the 600 draw every day means you'll get 5 extra medals for the same total jewel amount. The other exception to this is if there's a special promotion for the 3000 draw that makes it irresistible.

If you had asked in the thread everyone would have told you not to

e: good rule of thumb: upgrade the keyblades in the order you got them. Starlight is the best

I spent one on that keyblade weeks ago lol. I never would've guessed at the time that you couldn't upgrade it as far as the others. I'm more bemoaning the fact that this update only has 25 levels so I'm still 1 short of maxing my last keyblade.

The notice says "Collect an orichalcum by completing the new story quests" at the end though, does it not actually reward you one after finishing 275?

It does, but if you collect all of the orichalcum available to you right now then you're 1 short of maxing all your keyblades. 275 ÷ 25 = 11 and there's one available in the Proud Power Quest so 12 altogether. It takes 3 to max a keyblade so if you take Starlight, Treasure Trove, Lady Luck, and Three Wishes that's 12, but if you stupidly used one on the Olympus keyblade then you're 1 short.

I have 1500 jewels burning a hole in my pocket, should I buy an avatar board or do some medal pulls? On one hand, I can only fit two 6-medals on a keyblade and I'm a long way from a third. On the other hand I have 3 Limit Form Soras and I want to try for the 4 I need to guilt it. What bonuses are on the IAP avatar boards?

Don't worry so much about what you use your Cid medals on, as long as it's 6 stars. The biggest factor is just in which which color you have multiple 6 star medals because they cost so much. Use them on a medal you won't replace easily and you'll be fine.

Do you think they'll do something to try and incentivize people to convert factions? Because lol Ursus.

I know the factions don't mean much, but it's only going to continue getting more lopsided if people can switch to Vulpeus for a minimal jewel fee.

Reminds me of an old PS3 game called MAG that was a shooter with 3 factions. Depending on how much one faction was winning one week they would get bonuses in battle for the next week. They allowed you to switch factions once you reached max level and eventually so many people switched to the faction that won the most that it was hard to get competitive matches after that.

I need to start using Attack Boost All 1 for quest objectives but i'm not sure where to stick it. Is there any way I can screw myself over by putting it on the 'wrong' type of medal?

No, just make sure you put it on a medal that you will use. You can always overwrite the skill at a later time. Also, be aware that it only procs when you swipe, not when you use the medal's special attack.

That's what I thought too, but the problem is they worded it so drat vaguely that it's a little hard to tell. I wouldn't be surprised if "available during this event only" went either way with meaning "out of the current set of events" (i.e. 10-pull vs. 3 or single) or "out of every event forever".

I know that there's a huge character pool to source medals from, but eventually they'll run out and put rare ones back on the market if only for a limited time. The whole point of these events is to get people to buy more jewels impulsively so they can maybe get a Sephiroth medal. Not holding another event for these risks alienating some people from spending. Unless you're Rafza, in which case you'll have a guilted Sephiroth in a couple more days.
