I'll donate $10, up to a maximum of $300 to Against Malaria Foundation for every pic of a geomancer attacking Neo-Exdeath with Gaia's Bell. Just post a pic of the attack and a pic of the bell being equipped on the geomancer and we're good.



I don't get what the deal is, that bell is good!

You know, with bard and at lvl 99 with 99 magic when it procs the earthquake

It's so good, in fact, I used it to kill NED!

The memory values at the bottom left are health for all the parts and they all read zero because the memory changes the moment the attack starts.

I did get one regular lovely 200 damage attack too


This was a super strange team (Geomancer, Dragoon, Bard and Thief, in that order). I had so little damage throughout the entire game (I finished at lvl 23 so that might have been on me) until the very very end when I got the last two songs. This lead to some problems to say the least, which I now realize can almost all be solved with !Hide, my new MVP skill of FF5. I hid to drain ifrit, seal guardians and Necrofobe's Barrier's MP, and probably several others I forgot. Soul cannon was beaten by hiding from the surge beams. loving gargoyles were defeated by hiding and waiting until they both used fuse at the same time and killed themselves. Reflected zombie beat Meatdeath and Shinryu while the others were hiding. I've never used hide so much before in my life but apparently it's the solution to drat near everything! If romeo's ballad didn't work against Puroboros you could hide from that too!

Hide is love, Hide is life. A coward's way to victory. And it only took 19 and a half hours in game time.

Well this was the most trivial NED fight I've ever done, god chemists are busted.
Gave everyone sandals, ran the time mage with !summon and everyone else with !mix, tossed out life shields at the start of the treedeath fight to ignore white hole, and Golem to ignore the physicals.
Buffed everyone to lvl 99, doubled their health, dragon defense for Shell, Protect, Regen and Reflect. Dragon Shield just because, and Elemental Power on the casters.
Leviathan was doing 8k damage to everything, and I could just... facetank almagest without caring. Left the non-heavy part alive last and killed it with Zanetzuken from the Magic Lamp as a cherry on top.

* The condition for this one is simple: Obtain every magic spell in one run. White, Black, Time, Blue, Summons, and Songs. Dark Arts are exempt, but if you're a masochist you're welcome to go for it.
* The classes required to actually USE the spells are not mandatory, but obviously Blue Magic will require a Blue Mage or a randomizer run with Learning.
* Donation amount is $5 for every run with all spells, up to a limit of $100. (I wanted it to be more, but I have more bills to pay than I did in previous years thanks to Real Life Bullshit)
* Proof requested: Ideally shots of your magic screens, but for simplicity's sake I'll accept a shot of just the Time magic list to cover White and Black too (since you need to get their final spells to get access to Meteor). For most lists with multiple pages (White/Black/Time just barely require two pages in certain versions IIRC), I'll go by the honor system and accept single shots at the bottom of the list. Blue Magic will require shots of all pages though.

My 4th run is white/time/summon/blue, which was perfect for this challenge.

Mammon is a rare encounter in the part of the void where you fight Twintania. If you can get that far without Mime, you can avoid long term storage.

The command .chonk will now count on Carbybot, using the same syntax as the existing rod counter, so use that. I will do this up to, let's say, $30. I will also add $1 for every picture posted of a player hitting NED with a Fat Chocobo. (Only one per run, obviously.) That max will be $20.

I am also putting a $10 bounty of video proof of someone killing NED with a Fat Chocobo.

I just finished my second run of the fiesta. BLU/SUM/NIN/RDM was super easy, beat NED at Lvl 27 which was the lowest I ever had. I had read Blue was broken but had never actually used it before and holy moly you guys weren't kidding. I can't believe how many bosses I took out with Death Claw and the Dark Spark->Lvl 5 Death combo. Then for the late game Mighty Guard and White Wind trivialized all the bosses in the Rift. Even with as powerful as Ninja and Summoner are, Blue Mage was far and away the run's MVP.

Run #10 (Triple Crown #6) done :toot:



Knight/Dragoon/Time/Summoner - of course it was good, it had the best job!

ultrafilter posted:

Same :toxx: as last year. Use all twenty regular jobs and I'll donate $20 plus your job fair expenses (up to the total price of one of each regular job). Any kind of run is fine except for #fifthjob or some other mode that has you using more than four jobs in a single playthrough.

If you're going to do this, I suggest that you plan ahead a bit. This is going to take at least five runs, and you don't want the last one to be something like Monk/Berserker/Geomancer/Dragoon. There is no requirement to do this in exactly five runs, but more than that is a lot of FFV.

Welp, it took me 10, because gilgabot just loved giving me repeats this year, and I didn't want to job fair more than once per run.

Here's the stuff I job faired in:


Fair total was $20 even (all the stuff above, plus the Time Mage I faired into run #10), but because the bot loves to troll, two of the times I job faired a new class I'd just turn around and get it again in the very next run (Mystic and Beastmaster)

Run #2: Pure Chaos - Chemist / Ranger / Ninja / Summoner









Well that was easy. Chemist with the Fiesta mod is a great Wind job, you start with the Flail and Healing Staff early and you get Turtle Shells at Karnak. Seriously could've been ten levels under what I finished at, but !Rapid Fire Ninja is just fun to waste poo poo with. Not much else to say about this crew other than they wreck face. Doing 9k x4 Leviathan on NED was particularly satisfying.

I have a little bit of expendable cash, so I think I'll make a :toxx: of my own.

I will pay $10 per superboss (to a max of $50 for each, $100 total) for anyone that beats them "legitimately". That means no quickleaking/!calm/!sing/chemist berserking omega, and no berserking/quickleaking shinryu. Basically, fight the superbosses without breaking their script in some way.

It's hard to capture, if you are running bard/beastmaster/time/etc. I'll still accept submissions, just use the honor system.

Well my Chemist didn't berserk Omega, but !Mix is completely broken. Started with Resist Fire, Dragon's Kiss, and Levisalve. Used Hermes so no need for Hasty-Ade, and no Goliath Tonic meant I could heal Wave Cannon with just Hi-Pots. Once I had enough Dragon Powers and Turtle Soups applied to damage him, it was just a lot of Succubus Kiss and a few Thunder Scrolls. Cheesy, sure, but not in the !Sing/!Calm sense I guess.

Shinryu I definitely just smacked with the Power Staff/Dark Sigh and spammed !Image :v:

My first win, and it was blind! :toot: Dragoon was, apparently, my only "bad" class, but I didn't mind it. Being able to Jump over things let me cheese a couple fights and get out of some rough jams. Summoner and Blue Mage were both excellent. Ranger was never my star damage dealer, and needing to give up using !Blue or !Summon to make it useful kinda sucked, but it pulled its weight.

Now to take on Shinryu and Omega! :black101:
