Here's a link to the odds calculator if you wish to add to the op.

http://ffbe-oddsbitch.danposluns.com/??x=7&y=0&z=0

So, according to that, you need:
7,468 Regular Pulls (Including tickets, dailies and 500 lapis draws)
OR
424 10+1 Pulls (5,000 Lapis version)
OR
980 Guaranteed 4★ Tickets

To get 100% chance for a 5★.

My Free Daily gave me a Blue Crystal containing Garland #6. I'm afarid he looked at my remaining Free Daily Pulls and told them, "FOOLS! I, GARLAND, WILL KNOCK YOU ALL DOWN TO BEDILES!"

But hey, my free 10+1 Ticket wasn't bad.


Marie #1!


RIKKU #1!

And the rest of my haul was all repeats:

Luka #4, Leo #3, Bartz #5, Gaffgarion #4, Maria #6, Eight #3, Golbez #7, Kain #8, and Elle #5.


Now that I have Rikku, I'm wondering who she should replace on my team. Right now, it's Cecil, Rain, Trance Terra, Noctis, and Y'shtola, all 6*. WOL will be replacing Cecil, and Rem will be replacing Y'shtola. I'm thinking maybe Rikku should replace Rain?

Did my first pull in the morning, on a work break

Dark fina, which i got last week, but I could maybe do some fun ultima chaining. I also got rikku on my free draw, so lets use those base 4 tickets on the tilith banner.

Row 2, unit in the middle, did you use #BERSERKERRISK before pulling?


Scrublord Prime posted:

Marie is a more niche character, kinda like Minfilia. If you need all the elemental resistances up at once then she's perfect for that job with Love You All (+50% all resist up to all allies for 3 turns). Or if you need to knock down a resistance she can Anti-Element (-40% all resist to all enemies for 3 turns). After that she doesn't have much to do, she comes with dual cast and with a source of Cura (esper or gear) she can do some offhealing. She doesn't get white magic levels so she can't get that curaja materia. Basically if you're doing content where you aren't messing with elemental resistances then she doesn't bring much to the party but is indispensable when you do. She and Trance Terra cover entirely difference niches so adjust your party accordingly.

WoL can do breaks and do them better than Rain so I'd bring Rikku to replace Rain. If WoL has to tank or provoke or otherwise can't break then Noctis with Warp Break and Thunder Flask can cover the breaking side of things.

e: added quote for slow postin'

OK, so I'll just turn my team into WOL, Rikku, Trance Terra, Noctis, and Rem, and keep Marie in reserve. Thanks!

Hey, Gumi! Spending Raid Coins 1,000 at a time is fun, but it could be a lot more fun! Please remove multi-pulls, and let me spend 20k+ Raid Coins 100 at a time!

I have a Mog Wisdom on Rikku. Should anyone else get one?


HGH posted:

The way you should work Rem is to give her some form of Dual Wield, stack as much MAG as humanly possible on her, take a friend Orlandeau along with your own, chain their Divine Ruinations, and finish it all off with her Dagger Boomerang. It's basically one of the strongest finishers in the game once her multiplier is maxed, and hits twice with dualwield due to being a physical MAG based ability.
This should leave you with enough party space for a tank, offensive breaker and dedicated healer/buffer, which, coincidentally, WoL can fill in for the former two.

I don't have her special Dagger. What's the best non-TM one I can give her to do this? Also, do I need Dual Wield on both her and Orlandeau?

Put up my solo Gilgamesh trial Noctis for a friend if anyone still needs it. Just turn on auto attack and check back in about 40 minutes, maybe sooner if you want to try and get the limit best kill.

Thank you! It took me about an hour to do it, but I got everything!

Is he good for any of the other Trials?



SpaceDrake posted:

If you lack her unique dagger, then Dual Wield is mandatory on her, because right now no other daggers give any +mag at all. On Rem, the dagger gives further extra +mag, making it a match for any other BiS rods, and she gets innate dual wield for daggers, so even if you lack a DW materia you can still get the double hits for Boomerang just from sticking another weapon in her off-hand (and if we ever get another +mag dagger or a second shot at her unique, she could simply DW those passively and let the player load her up with pure +mag materia). Her current ideal build requires DW anyway, but without her unique weapon it's 100% required because you'll be giving her standard mage gear otherwise and she can't DW that.

TLDR you'll need DW for them both, yes.

Alright. Working on getting Excalibur now, and then I guess I'll work on Genji Glove, unless I manage to get a second Zidane. Thanks!

Topps did that with their Star Wars Collectable Cards app. It's not a game. You just get digital versions of the old Topps trading cards. Then, they take a few, add dumb filters to them, and only "release", like, 100.

Just do like me, and stick to farming Pro. Sure, it's not as good as Elite, but it's better than nothing.

My team is a L15 3* Alma, L15 4* Agrias, L100 6* Orlandeau, L72 5* Gilgamesh, and L18 4* Gaffgarion. Orlandeau and Gilgamesh are the only ones I have any gear on, and I threw Bushido - Freedom on Agrais to give her an AOE. I bring a friend Agrias (or on the rare occasions they show up, Mercanary Ramza or Knight Delita), and have no problems clearing Pro. I've only run it 3 times a day for the Daily Quest since the 29th, and I've already managed to get 12k White Orbs.

Resetting Of Bundles
The Gold Chest Of Abundance and Copper Chest Of Abundance are going to be reset.

Players who have bought the following bundles previously can now purchase them again after maintenance on August 18th.


The Copper Chest Of Abundance was available at launch. For $0.99 USD, you got:
Rare Summoning Ticket x1
Metal Gigantuars x10
King Gil Snappers x10
+70 NRG

The Gold Chest Of Abundance is currently available in the store. For $11.99, you get:
4*+ Guaranteed Ticket x1
Lapis x2,500
Trust Moogle +5% x1

Buying the Gold Chest has been confirmed to give you 12 EX Points, so the Copper should give you 1. With those 13 EX Points, you can buy:
910 Lapis (70 per point x 13 points)
EX Summon Ticket x2 and 210 Lapis (5 points per ticket + [70 Lapis per point x 3 points])
King Metal Minitaur x5 and 210 Lapis (10 points for 5 KMM + [70 Lapis per point x 3 points])

That is not how EX Points work. They just unlock each tier. So you get the 70 Lapis, 1 EX Summon Ticket, and 5 King Metal Minituars.
