I tried setting up a Macro for TM farming in Memu and while I got everything to work, none of my Lapis seems to show up.

I think it's because I originally started on an iphone and Memu is an Android platform?

Does anyone know what I need to do, or if it's even possible to get my Lapis to show up?

Is it ever worth grinding Rank to increase your energy?

I'm only rank 48, and the story quests so far are taking 13 energy per mission. Which seems a little high.

I rank grind when there isn't an event to blow energy on or I'm caught up with the story. It isn't required but it's nice not having to babysit the game quite so much without losing energy and if you ever TMR grind with lapis you'll get more per refill with more max energy.

Yea I'm getting to the point where I want to start TMR grinding, but I should probably finish the story first so I can Rank up a bit more.

I'm trying to figure out what tank to use. So far I've pulled a:

Snow
Charlotte
Leo

Snow doesn't seem like much of a tank, but then again mine is only 5 stars currently. But all the other tanks on the top 5 list I don't own.

That's the problem I'm running into currently. Mobs seem to ignore snow completely. I guess I'll start leveling my Charolette since it'll be a while before I'll be able to actually do any hard content.

Thanks Cartoon, I wasn't sure because the OP said Dwarves Forge, so I wasn't sure if there was something special about it that wasn't listed in the Wiki. I guess it's safe to ignore the OP for the most part?

Looks like I'll be using Xon conpanions since my pulls were crap. At least I finally got another Fran. Sure have been needing more of her. And why do I keep pulling that lovely Soleil. I have so many of her.

Xon basically takes care of ever needing to steal anything ever again with Waylay, plus he can nick buffs from bosses which is pretty cool.


Yea the steal all command alone makes him worth it.

I went ahead and tried a pull 11 and ended up getting 2 of him, nothing else though. But I wanted a Xon, so perfectly happy with that. Wish I could give the 2nd one away to someone else though.

I've been doing Fire Shrine when I have Xon friends to waylay mobs, when my Noctis friends are up I go after the 4 bears.

It's been working decent enough for me.

That's exactly what I'm been doing since I'm still too new to handle the bears with my own party. But I've been doing Invincible Exploration since that has a better egg ratio according to the latest wiki

One of the previous patches had inadvertently nerfed a bunch of bosses. Looks like they've fixed them.

I feel like they "over" fixed them. They seem way too tuned up. I accidentally left it on auto-fight, and had a 800 dmg Noctis die to the Fire Shrine Boss. Which seems a little too much.

I was really hoping that today would be the day that my 1/2 pull would give me my Fryevia so I can spend some of the 45 moogles for her TM that I have for her. Instead I got Bedile'd. I think it's a sign to give up on this event. I'll just have to be happy with my 11 Aidens.

Apparently Electric Tower - Pursuit has a high drop rate for both Crystals and also counts as explorations for your daily quest:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/66jkly/electric_tower_pursuit_for_exploration_daily/

so does running this with a Xon + Locke do anything for you? I really don't understand how their passives work.

So after banging my head against Gilgamesh, I think it's impossible without a Cecil. Every single guide I've read up on seems to use a Cecil as a tank. Which seems really really dumb to lock a boss behind a single character. Leo and Charlette just don't seem to have enough HP. Not sure what to do at this point to try and beat the trial.

I don't mind putting my Cecil up if you want to give it another run with him. I could give him Dual Wield, then use Excalibur and whatever else you wanted to help cover elements.


Thanks for the offer, but I think I just don't have the characters I need. I have no Noctis, Bartz or Lightning either. And the 6 stars I do have (like Chizuru I don't have any elemental katanas for, so useless)

I look at that list and am angry, you have quite a few units I would kill for. It might be your gear that is the problem, because it's certainly not your units. (I'm pretty sure people one-shot Gilgamesh with dual Orlandu?)

Probably a combination of my gear and me being terrible at this game. The highest I can get my Orlandu is something like 560 attack, I'm nowhere near the 1k other people have, which I think is the requirement to 1shot him.


And as far as the fishing event goes, is it better to grind Elite with fewer bonus units or Pro with all bonus units? I've had a couple elite runs end in deaths, so I'm thinking PRO is a lot safer. But I don't think I'll ever get to 80k fish that way.

okay if I wanted to try and 1shot the dark espers (Siren/Ifrit) should I use 2 edgars + 4 Setzers, or 3 edgars + 3 Setzers? And I assume I use double dice after chainsaws and just hope for the best?

So my inventory filled up earlier, so I had to go and see what was taking up so much space. Turns out I have over 300k raid coins and I don't want to spend them because I know I'll get a million trust moogles that I won't be able to throw away, since the second I do I"ll pull a banner unit.

This game loves to troll the poo poo out of me sometimes..

So I bought myself a Wilhelm because the only tank I had was a Charlotte and a Snow. On the same pull as Wilhelm I get 2 Cecils. So yay for 2 Excalibur's in 5 months! At least I'll be able to start doing some of the trials now that I have real tanks.



dangerous.hotdog posted:

I put up a 780 MAG Emperor with a bit of HP gear so he doesn't keel over to a stiff wind (5k HP). He seems well-built for the Wilhelm fight.

So is magic a better strategy for clearing Elite than using Setzer's double dice?

My Wilhelm has 7200 HP and didn't drop below 5k once in the fight. It was pretty hilarious to watch 2 Wilhelm's beat the crap out of each other with nerf bats.

If I have 5 Xon's, is it worth it at all to bring all of them to 6 stars just for the increased rare drop rate? I read on Reditt that the effects stack, but it's really expensive to 6 star them. Not sure if it's worth it.

Zyrus is a pretty good mage to have. Up there with Exdeath. Xon just makes life easier for a lot of events, and if built right he can perform light "tank" duties, so always nice to have him around. Bartz is useful to have as a mana battery since you have Refia to full-life him. Minfillia makes a lot of fights easier because of her huge amount of buffs.

Personally I'd go in order of:

Minfillia
Xon
Bartz
Zyrus
