    I just tried to steal the cape off him in the 99 difficulty fight, but it didn't work.

    Did you maybe mean just in the ultimate?

    Very first stage this morning dropped Mako Might on the second wave. Good start! Still looking out for Dr. Mog's Teachings.

    Plans for the weekend;

    Get Josef to 50 from 10 and apply his MC1.
    Farm FFII stages for a few minutes to get his RM2 to drop.
    Continue pushing normal Elites to farm Tyro and Cloud RM3s.
    Beat U. Yunalesca.
    Do Sundailies with Rinoa plus four scrubs.

    FYI, the last thing on your list should be farm FF2 stages for Josef's RM2, because most people get it in weeks, not minutes.

    Oh, really?

    Cause I got it on literally his first attack in an FF2 dungeon :biggrin:

    I think I only really need Dr Mogs Teachings and Ricards RM for "must have" record materia.

    And there's Dr. Mog's Teachings. No sweat!

    The "trick" to Ultimate Rubicante is using Steal Power to take his clothes off (it dispels his Cloak).

    Is it limited to Steal Power? Or does Steal Time/Armor work as well?

    Always wanted to do that. Finally noticed I was well over 100 MSO.

    Japan version may be getting the ability to set the Job classes onto named characters to transfer their ability ranks to them.

    If you haven't done the beginner banner yet, maybe hold off on it for now. Tyrfang means Luneth could Advantaliate by himself, freeing up the RW slot for whatever you need. And that's just the start of how crazy this could get.

  • ShamusShamus Registered User regular
    That is really cool.

  • Knight_Knight_ Dead Dead Dead Registered User regular
    Oh geeze. That's insane, makes a lot of characters way better. Also Luneth Advantaliate without using your RW.

    Steal Power/Armor/HP all work, though he can counter Steal HP. He's immune to Slow, so Steal/Mug Time don't work.

    @KITA In the old thread I had a list of forumers and their friend codes. IIRC there were a few Advances:

    @initiatefailure zcsi
    @korodullin Q4Dd
    @Geddoe GbSH
    @maguano f7MM
    @manetherenwolf 3EnU
    @savant Fofd

    Though some of those folks may have changed their codes in the mean time. More friend codes here and here.

    @rius Maybe migrate the old friend code list to the OP until you have the Google.doc set up?

    Also holy shit equipping Jobs to characters. So many cool combos. Glad I held off on the beginners banner, this makes Advance a much more attractive pick.

    Finished DU17 Classic dungeons today, but didn't have time to do the Elites AND time the free stamina refill for a full bar, so that's probably getting pushed off until Monday when I get off work. I'll probably spend the rest of today going through Edge's event, then Sundaily tomorrow getting D.Cecil to 65, and then leveling up my current team (Sephiroth/Zack/Vaan/Reno/Arc).

    Yep. Any non-mutual followers can be bumped off the list for a new follower after 24 hours.

  • initiatefailureinitiatefailure Registered User regular
    Yeah I'm still on advance.

    Starting to think I won't get Wakka's MC2. I can't seem to dent these girls before someone bites it. Even when getting protectga and shellga set up before any hit.

    Do you have Carbuncle and Draw Fire? Those can negate like 90% of their damage output.

    Everything but Delta Attack, iirc. Then you just need to kill of of the three (ideally the fat one, but the short one has the least HP) before 5 turns pass.

  • MaguanoMaguano Registered User regular
    I can put advance up , if needed, but currently I'm enjoying seeing "here's 6400 gil for your RW summons", as I've been running y'shtola's SS2.
    Ping me if you need advance.

    So my current team layout is such:

    Tyro -> Unknown type - > Not sure who I should replace him with, if anyone
    Rydia -> Black Mage -> Going to be replaced by Vivi.
    Cloud -> Fighter -> Permanent (?)
    Yuna -> White Mage -> Permanent (?)
    Kain - Unknown type -> Replace with.. Gilgamesh? No idea.

    I'm currently on the FFVI "Gerad" level.

    Any suggestions/corrections are appreciated!

  • SavantSavant Simply Barbaric Registered User regular
    I have advance up still, also have SG and lunatic high if there is a lot of demand for those instead.

    Man, I have a ton of growth eggs sitting around. I pop every new event character and guy I gut a new MC for to 50 as soon as I get them, but I still have over a hundred of each of them except the majors. Should I just start going on a leveling spree?

    Also, I have meteor R2 and full break R2 now, and sort of wondering what I should spend my next majors on. Thinking maybe barrage for luneth, but a lot of the rank 5s coming out soon look pretty good.

    Looks like a good team to me. Only person on the team you won'the be able to get an MC in the story dungeons is Yuna though it is a reward in the current event. If you can get through moonflow elite on the current event before Monday afternoon you'll be set for a long time.

  • ArtereisArtereis Registered User regular
    I accidentally mastered the final elite. I thought I was going to need to just beat it for the fire orbs so I could craft steal power. So much waiting around for him to drop his cloak.

  • silence1186silence1186 Character shields down! As a wingmanRegistered User regular
    He only drops his cloak in the Ultimate version, not the 99 difficulty version.

    50 difficulty seems impossible at this point

    I meant drop his guard. He'd keep his cloak raised for 8-10 turns.

    Oh, I see. In the 140/Ultimate version, if you use Steal Power or Armor he drops his cloak without having to wait, but only in that version.

    I'd been using Carbuncle, but not draw fire. Made it through with a Novice. Not my best game ever, but hey... MC2. Thanks!

    Well, it's both his weapon, and himself.

    He's a combat 5* support, and his SSB is a Party Wide Attack+Haste Buff.

    He's beast as all get out.

  • Knight_Knight_ Dead Dead Dead Registered User regular
    yea, he's the best support character and it's not even close. is in basically every party the second he comes out, even if you don't get scream.

    that banner is really good not just for scream, but because it has 3 character relics for ramaza and 2 for agrias, who are SSS tier and S tier, respectively. it's basically a better celebration banner due to that. gonna be a long wait, but i'm going to be pulling on the SSSB festival for wall again, and then tactics.

    ramza is the power creep that every power creep addition to the game prior to him strived to be

  • ArtereisArtereis Registered User regular
    I'm saving every mythril I earn between now and the SSSB event, plus will probably drop some cash in hopes of a payout from either that or the FFT banner.

  • ShamusShamus Registered User regular
    The FFT event is probably what I'm most excited for.

    It's pretty amazing that in that event there's Agrias, who is better than Paladin Cecil in about every way, and Ramza is so much better she barely ever gets mentioned.

    When you can cast Full Break, Hastega + Planet Protector, and a % based heal not dependent on MND, maybe you'd be worth mentioning too.
