The X banner goes up today, the old banners expired last night. They wanted everything to sync with the anniversary today.

Edit: If you managed to pull a Randi, its time to dust him off...Mog is a fairy type and susceptible to spirit slayer. Randi and Cupid Luna are the only units with built in spirit slayer. It will stack with the materia that you get from the recipe in the junkyard.

The spherimorph boss in macalania woods is also fairy Type so he can pull double duty.

Rikku's pouch gives anybody the 30% three turn full break.

Cartoon Man
Jan 31, 2004


Let me explain a bit further how to properly Rikku.

As we all know, Rikku's most prized ability is her Limit Burst which when maxed with Pots gives you Cecil level DEF/SPR buff at 70%. And then (oh by the way), it also gives your party a 3 turn auto revive to 80% health allowing your team to literly cheat death over and over as long as you can spam it.

So how do you spam it? You need to increase her LB fill stat so that every time a red crystal drops, it does more. Rikku requires 16 red crystals to fill your LB gauge. She also comes prepackaged with a trait that already increases it by 100%, but we can do much more than that. You should have completed the macalania woods event and crafted her new weapon Override. That has a passive that adds another 100%. If you've got trust moogles lying around, now is the time to use them! Get her TM item, Rikku's pouch! Stick it on any team member that will have free turns (might be Rikku herself), and use "eccentrick" to add 200% every five turns. Finally, if you have any trust moogles left over, feed them to that new unit you got from the anniversary raid, Moogle. Don't actually do this, you can pull lots of copies from the raid gacha, once they fix the bugs. His TM adds another 50%. That's 450% increase to her LB fill!

But wait, theres more!

When we get the robot fight soon, he drops another fist weapon that adds another 100%! Take a wild guess who you are going to dual wield equip that on to get to 550%... :psyboom:

Lastly, stay the hell away from COD's TM and Jack's TM. COD will grant you a single red crystal per turn and Jack will grant you 2 red crystals per turn. Both are completely worthless and will make your Rikku too squishy.

Either most people aren't bothering with the raid or they're all farming ELT because I'm hanging around the 1000-1500th place while 2-3 rounding the challenge level.

I think it's because there's a lot of normal players who don't know how to unlock the harder mode.

July:



-900 Lapis
-6 Accelerators
-9% total in trust moogles
-4 summon tickets
-a 10+1 summon ticket

The accelerators suck and I wish the 1% were two 5% moogles instead. The 10-1 ticket is very nice though.

Is his TM any good even? I'm about to get a second as well.

From DefiantHermit's should you pull review:

"Global Trust Mastery Rating: Prodigy Goggles - +15 DEF/SPR, +2LB/Turn, Grant:: Scan - Accessory - 8.5/10

Niche, but great accessory for heavy LB users, as it provides passive LB gain and only takes an accessory slot. Scan is Libra, so you can safely ignore that part."

I use a dummy account, but every other day on Reddit, somebody posts a Facebook horror story. I figure if it ever happens to me and I'm unsuccessful in gaining my account back, well then it was meant to be...

The best finisher for a long rear end time is coming up in the FF12 banner. Balthier (the rainbow pull of course...) will squeeze out Olive in terms of raw damage and exceed her in that he will have access to multiple elemental finishes and not just lightning. But if you already have Olive, it's not that big a deal.

We may or may not get a week 2 banner with Balthier and Panelowned. (Who would get the four star?). In JPN, there was a week 2 FF12 trial, kind of like how the Kefka fight appeared in the FF6. We could get a "Balthier joins the fray" banner or something. Just not sure who would get the 4* slot.

Is it just me or is this event really stingy with its Motes? Like, I killed a Gold Bomb in the 25 NRG thing and only got like 300 extra motes for it before bonuses, not nearly as exciting as "Holy poo poo 3 Metal Kings Jesus christ 3000 Crimson Ore here we come!"

It's stingy, but the weapons and materia are reasonably priced and the bugs and bombs have been frequent for me at least.

It's still no where near as generous as Brave Frontier was.

To give some context, this is trial that redefines the SPR based defensive meta. You either meet the SPR quotas or you die. We already had a taste of this with the Shadow of Bahamut trial, but this is a whole new level. In Japan they even had Ramza enhancements to mitigate this, so it'll be interesting if they'll nerf this or buff it like Gilgamesh.

This latest set of units and enhancements were a wet fart. The most exiting thing is Camillas 6* which seems to have turn her into a very budget and decent chainer that can work with two of the most powerful units in the game, Tidus and Eileen. Funny, her story about going in as a novice and wishing to become powerful became true.

Luneth becomes the best capper in the game and DKC finally becomes usable. But yeah if you don't have either of them the rest is mediocre to rear end.

How many pieces of dual-wield gear and materia do I need? Right now I have a Dual Wield and a Bowie Knife and use Rem and Amelia, who have native dual-wield. I'd love to have Amelia using a wind-element weapon to help with element chaining, so is it worth trying to get another DW? Or should I be going for a Genji Glove, instead?

3 dual wields is usually enough. The Bowie knife is only BIS for certain units with a specific build, DW is usually better. Don't pin your hopes on getting a Gilgamesh to drop unless you already have him, in which case you should absolutely be farming the genji glove because it adds more ATK than a dual wield materia.
