I had Knight/Samurai/Blue/Beast last year. I was one of the what? 8? 10? Goons that Triple Crowned with a full powered Brave Sword. Trust me, getting some of the level dependent blue magic without running is a bitch.

Wasn't there two competing goon bonus challenges, one for Knights with the full powered Brave Sword, and a contrarian one that was for Knights with full powered Chicken Knives

I forget the details (can we get a link to last year's thread in the op Kyrosiris?) but I had a Good Geomancer Run last year and was very confused

So I don't want to outright choose the run this time like I did last year. But I'm going to drop another large donation in the next day or so. Any ideas on how to use it for the run this time around?


Give Them Geomancer

So since it looks like my job choices are probably going to stand even after basically flushing 80% of the votes down the shitter. I'm going to try to think of a bonus incentive I can throw at the run. Any ideas? I was thinking bonus donation for each boss killed by bearaga, but that might be overly tedious (that or bankrupt me if I'm not careful...)

Bonus for killing NeD with a Goblin (punch) in memoriam DDarch

Yeah I know I'm OP since I have mystic knight and black mage, I just wasn't sure how to feel about bard as my fire job. When I play vanilla I usually give them the ability to use good weapons, but that's not allowed here.

Just slap elven mantle and a main gauche on him and let him be functionally unhittable

Free/BER/SER/KER complete!


Level 41 on everyone but Butz (I named him to do the Pre-Run Run then ran out of time) who hit 42. I had to leave the Void three times (first time I had no cottages when I hit the castle, second time I realized I forgot the lamp and ran out of hi-potions, third time I went to get the third protect ring I forgot and farm elixirs).

Had to exhaust Rugman to get to Istory for the Titan Axe, Aegis #2, and more protect rings.

Freelancer meant I could at least put on the thief gloves to vaguely help knifing Aegis Shields #3 and #4 so I could tank Almagests. Also the Muramasa. Butz spent the entirety of the final fight just throwing elixers, other restoratives, and Hasting the field (occasionally rubbing the Lamp when time was had)

New run is looking like Sam/Geo/Red/Time. Is the Geomancer going to have any use other than maybe grinding ABP in World 1?

Despite the jokes, ! Gaia is decent throughout the game, you get wind knives and Gaia gear earlyish which charges him up, gives your other mages some mp free damage, clowns on Wendigo, helps in physical fork tower (that poo poo ain't magic), permanent wind slash vs NED, and probably has the most hp of your three mages so he's gonna tank you the Almagest and Quick-revive everyone else

Gregg rulz ok.

Ground to 41 so that Faris could face-tank Almagest with like 150 hp, which was enough to get everyone else back up and running. Just dropped Flares and boosted -aga against Almagest until it went down (after two casts) and then it was cake. Rapidfire Chicken Knife was a thing of beauty.

I'm having issues with w2 exdeath. Knight/Zerk/Time/Geo.

Any advice on what I'm doing wrong, about level 29. Zerk is using Dancing Dagger, Knight has Frostbrand.

I got Zerk as 5th job so I haven't picked up any weapons for it.

Don't cast slow on him.

How many reflect rings do you have? If 4, slap em all on the party and get to level 30 for some High Comedy

Give your healGeo an Air Knife just in case, since it's 100% Wind Slash vs NED so its appreciable DPS when free.

Upgrade isn't really the best, but sometimes you end in comedy as interactions appear.

Wind: Red Mage, AKA "I am not loving grinding dualcast W1"
Water: Berserker, AKA "At least I killed the sandworm first"
Fire: Ranger, aka Bowserker aka "Holy poo poo the Sol Cannon dies fast to four thunder bows"
Earth: Mystic Knight, aka 4 Rapid Fire Spellblades for the rest of time :getin:

I killed Omega by just going in with Hermes sandals and lucking out on counters. Rapidfire thundaga chicken knife did about 7300 per hit (so about 29k per rapidfire)

So I'm doing a chaos run after my first for funsies and I currently have Chemist/White/Samurai and I'm at the library right now.

Is there any way to make running four white mages up until the Earth crystal where I'll get to have actual (very good) variety more bearable or am I trapped in grinding hell to survive?

Fiesta mod to unlock all jobs, don't tell RK.

Even with buyable flails in Karnak that sounds like a special hell

Really, the most important tip for this team (and any Fiesta team) is to buy four Hermes Sandals in Phantom Village.

:eng101: three sandals, the fourth is free in the Void Castle.

This also applies to Coral rings if you need those (#4 is in the cavern area)

I think i'm screwed. I'm on the 4 crystal guardians fight in forest of moore with 3 zerks and a summoner. I can get two crystals down and still survive but after that i'm doomed to failure as the only decent weapons I have on my zerkers are air knives which heal one of the crystals. I can equip something else on them but the damage loss is pretty severe.

My friend, crystals are weak to the 💀
