Using carries to help clear nm transcendence material dungeon today has gotten me a dragon eye and large hand of time, allowing me to 3* enhance Zekus now and Randi once I get some more beast meat and the event dragon eye reward. :toot:

...gonna need so many blue crystals. Only at 5/20 for diamond dust. On the upside I’ll have enough blue clusters for that and to get atk up max on randi once I get the 60ish blue crystals I’ll need between them.

I managed to snag Primm today and actually had the stuff to take her to 4* after a bit of luck in the Trancendence dungeon. Still need a Dragon Eye to 3* Randi. Not sure what I need to 4* him. I'll get getting Popoi to 4* once I get some some of the 3* material. Grinding up all that junk and having terrible luck on my main party has left me with tons of other loot, I guess.

Also need a metric ton of crystals of all types, obviously.

Slime takes me forever to kill, lich takes a bit, and divine beast dies in like 10 seconds. Did the boss rush level in 3:30 without needing to gem

Melza, lilah, Randi is the team I used. Levels were 70, 70, 49

Used a level 77 Randi support

I’ve be cleared the challenge fight twice. First run was 11 min second was 7. Both times I brought a 1400+ atk sevia and had healing/support magic on randi, primm, and zekus. Mana beast was th easiest but sevia or any high str pdps with proud force and good crit rate can self sustain well enough to probably solo it. Slime is the worst because you can’t stop the spell spam.

Since there isn't much to discuss anyway. Here is a shameless flex-post of Zekus that is basically finished. Mostly just need more skill points and element specific boosters.

I guess I messed up a bit took my divine beast hunter to 7 to learn the Aim: vitals crit boost but apparently it gives the best sword that isn’t the mana sword and I’ve given up chasing that stupid ark and popoi since I’m basically out of free gems.

At least the tournament sword is decent and has an extra 5% crit rate.

I mean, it takes like 10k runs to get an ether reward from farming, I think you'll get more milage out of Aim: Vitals in the long run than some Etherions later.

I wonder if the frequency of Etherions granted by trials and rewards and such will increase over time?

I remember in FFBE early on you had to grind to get any TMRs and you only accumulated enough Trust Moogles to get a reward every few months, but now you get enough to basically get any TMR you want.

I think I have 19 right now, from some ark sparkle rewards and the new mana stuff. Not really sure what's worth splashing them for yet, though. The Mana Sword's nice and all, but the ring from Pirate Ship for more drops might be good?

I have the ring, its mostly pointless imo. Were at point where only clusters matter, and soon we will be at point only rainbow clusters matter. The ring is fun to have, but not huge difference.

I should get getting mjolnir in the next week as well as some other rewards. Mjolnir won't help much with the current event, but it's still a pretty solid weapon that will probably end up going on Robin.

I'm currently grinding radmoon and cultist because it seems that having both of those accessories and high level magic chant results in insta-cast T3 spells, which is kinda awesome since a couple high level friends are setup that way and it's just instant death with zero chance for enemies to react.

Swapped my Zekus lead to Randi for a bit too. I need to finish getting int up max on Zekus and then I think he'll be pushing 1200 int in combat. More once he also has moonlight. Randi is ~1300 atk when he's at max HP and he still doesn't have atk up max yet. Need 30 blue crystals and a couple red though. Those blues could be used to get another 80-100 base int for Zekus too but Randi is such a goddamn murder machine when he gets going. I can see why pirate's feast is such a godsend (though I don't have the pirate ship ark) for pdps because the idea of him having a full load of S1-3 usage every wave of a battle is absurd. I haven't tried to solo the Mana Beast yet with my Randi but I bet I can, though it'd take a little while. While he lacks crit up 3 he still has a lot of crit just from crit 1-2, the tournament sword, and the 3% crit accessory and proud force to heal him a bit on each crit. I could toss moon saber on him for what'd probably be more efficient healing than flammie drum, or give him the crit up spell which would cause a lot more proud force triggers and overall dps boost.

Where do rainbow clusters drop from? I've managed to get 2 purples so far from today's daily by leaning on supports to clear nightmare.

0.0infinity1 chance in hard or NM crystal dungeon and event rewards. They're absolutely rare AF. Would recommend not using them on anything other than keystone passives (Dual Wield, High Magic Chant, etc). Using them to take a skill from 3->4 is still too high an opportunity cost still.

Figures. I've only used a blue and purple cluster so far so I'll probably burn one on HMC for Zekus and/or neutral boost for Randi. I don't even know what taking skills from N to N+1 does since the chart entries for them all just have the skill description and nothing else. I assume it boosts the damage and/or speed the skill charges, and maybe adds to max charge?

0/5 on Dragon Eyes for Randi's final enhancement though. :negative:

I think I've gotten maybe one Dragon's Eye from the transcendence dungeon. It's easily one of the more annoying parts of it. I need 5 for Randi and 5 for Sevia, but had more than enough of what Primm and Popoi needed for some reason.

I think upgrading skills does all of those things in various measures. It's definitely opaque.

Has anyone messed with the various Researches? I feel like Silence Research might actually come in handy for certain fights if it triggers often enough.

All the researches seemed pretty bad to me, mostly due to their somewhat high SC cost. The proc rate is pretty low. I could see using it if everyone on the team had it and you had dual benefit of near constant application with the near guaranteed damage increase. If it was critical for some fight, I would rather just apply it through magic guaranteed.

I think everyone is still just too starved on SC points to use them on anything bu the most obvious skills. I finally got enough SC on Zekus to get 30% mp refresh on him between waves, so now I can use T3 magic amplified nukes on every wave without going dry. It is the magic version of Pirate's Feast!.

Yeah, I think they recognized research skills as kind of crap and are releasing newer versions of it. We got one a little earlier than JP did with Adventure of Mana’s Monkey Baby. It’s only 8 skill points, profs silence and increase damage by 30% against silenced mobs.

I have silence research on Primm atm just because she's still learning other, more useful, stuff and has extra SC in the meanwhile. It's triggered on those satan bush things a few things in the Nightmare daily which is nice since they can just insta-cast T2 or T3 spells sometimes if they manage to avoid being stunlocked by Randi and everyone else. Definitely not worth the SC though since real bosses all seem to be status immune.

Burned my Etherion stash on a Mana Sword, as suggested. Definitely pushes Randi up a level, good lord. Mulched the new Mana Beast with a friend, it drops a buttload of Medallions, so the shop is pretty straightfoward to clear out if you can whomp the Mana Beast down. Just need a few more to get the rainbow cluster.
