Wow. I did not notice.

Also, the mod does change one thing other than unlocking all the jobs. It's purely aesthetic, but it's wonderful.

Alright, here goes! Third time entering the Fiesta, and hopefully second time finishing. Random run, as last year.

And to make this more fun:

I'll be watering the Berserker tree at the tune of $10 for each goon-completed run using The Run's jobs, between them being officially announced and The Run starting. (Once per goon, no total upper limit)

Get those runs in

Because I am a goofball who absolutely loves FF12, here's a Bartz naming drive for some donations.

Don't listen to Ondores lies! Bartz Basch Lives!

Every completed fiesta with Basch will have me give up $5 to charity.(up to a max of $200)

Sorry, I was asleep go for it!

I'll likely tally the runs and make a single donation once The Run starts, by the way.

Good lord that Soul Cannon fight sucked rear end. Thought I would be clever and release a Zuu to cut a huge chunk of his health, but it didn't do anything. Whoops.

Also, why was my beastmaster with the Guardian dagger doing like twice as much damage as my zerkers? Even if the defense ignoring thing didn't work on this boss for some reason, the zerkers had a much higher attack rating.

So the big question is whether the fiesta will start when the run ends as it should.

GMArcturus posted:

So can I ask what the best strategy for a quadzerker setup against Ifrit and Byblos would be? My Wind job was Chemist so until I get that Earth crystal I'm looking at some tough times.

I offered Koobes double for their trizerker run, and I'll offer the same to you.

The Algorithm FAQ says you need to successfully hit the target to enact React scripts (aka Gogo doesn't React on whiffs). Having done it last year I really, really can't recommend it. You most likely can't just toggle fast forward on an emulator and have it work out. You'll also need to occasionally manipulate the RNG by hitting run/A? every once in awhile so it doesn't get stuck in a loop. I had three very high level non-Bartz Berserkers (though I can't remember if they were 97) equipped with nothing but Hermes Sandals and Mage Mashers which for whatever reason seemed to work better than a mix of anything else (for reference, +8 units of Weight is -1 Agility not taking in rounding errors. You could also consider the Knives formula including the M bug but ).

Then again, you might get lucky because my successful one was like during a couple hours where I barely manipulated it every 15 minutes or so (after three overnights getting stuck on loops).

What the best AP place in World 3. I think it was some stingrays, but forgot if there is a better option. The drawback of having red mage is a LOT of AP is needed for it final rank, and since I got a white mage, I do want that dual cast.

Doom Goon posted:

Noice. How long did that take? Neat to see it's possible below 90ish (I never did run the numbers).

DACK FAYDEN posted:

I'm only 66 on everyone, you think that's good enough for Omniscient? How many procs did it take you to

e: wait, is it better with 3x Mage Masher rather than 1x Masher and sync up the speed and try to murder with fewer procs?

Do Gaia or Animals screw up what's his nuts on the magic side of fork tower?

Leofish posted:

Okay, that makes sense, thanks. I actually have 5 reflect rings because I got a double drop from one group, so I'm covered there. For the life of me, I couldn't remember if I had to do the tower or not, but if I can skip it, since I have no need for Holy or Flare then I may as well.

You're a madman if you're planning on Shinryu.

(I'm lveel 75 and counting. I'll get there eventually.)

Berserkers can, and should, use the Aegis Shield to prevent petrification. You should have one from the moore forest, but if you don't there's another in a chest somewhere if you missed it.

You could also give your party flame rings and spam fireaga on your own team to heal them, but at this point hermes shoes + elixir spam is probably better against Exdeath. The status effects are far more dangerous than his actual hp damage once you can survive Almagest.

Best place to do farming is to give everyone !berserk and to hold up against that pyramid staircase that sends you downwards (but not into spikes). It will be relatively quick to get to the point where you can survive almagest. 3000+ hp for everyone should be fine, but of course more is always better. up to the 40's is easy, 50's not too bad, but Levels start really slowing down at 60+ so don't bother unless you have a ton of patience.

You can also do a similiar trick in the first zone of the cleft of dimensions, but this is a bad idea due to that one hard encounter that can cast cyclone.

KataraniSword posted:

Yeah, the other Aegis Shield is in Istory Falls, which is locked off by Fork Tower. Don't bank on getting the second Aegis if you have more than one berserker.

Instead, you can thief knife extras (albeit slowly, they're the rare steal) off of Gorkimeras at the bottom of the Rift. It's tedious, but not more tedious than trying to beat rugwizard with zerky.

Bout to kill NED, anyone know off the top of their head what part is almagest on iOS? My google-fu is weak.

White/chem/thief/? So far. I don't know what game is gilgabot is playing at, but this is so far a rather slow first world.

status: level 81. Think I might try rugwizard again.

Bufuman posted:

So I thought starting off with Dancer was going to be a pain in the rear end. Then I discovered three important things:
1. Several early bosses are NOT immune to confusion
2. The coding of said bosses usually doesn't know how to respond to being confused and they'll usually just sit there
3. All of the Dance attacks, including Sword Dance, will NOT remove confusion.

This run had just about the easiest Siren/Magissa/Garuda fights I've ever done. And my Water job is Chemist, so it looks like I'm Triple Crowning all my runs this year.
