I always spend a few thousand of the moogle grind event cash to buy out the cheapest version of the 6* mats from the king. it gives me 20-25 of them to play with at least if i want to upgrade someone.
Yesssssssssssssssssss finally got that 6th support Giancryst to drop. Now I have everything I need to +2 Hero's Rime as soon as it comes out...well, that is, if they keep the cost the same as it is in JP.
yeah ive got all Ramza's stuff ready to upgrade as well. need to do some research about what equipment is best on him tho. Also need to start collecting for Luneth's upgrade.
I've currently got him with Defender's Dagger, Army Shield, Crown of Justice, Cupid's Robe, Water God's Amulet, and Wind up Titan. His materia are mostly just placeholders currently but he's sitting at right around 400DEF/SPR and 5k HP on Carbuncle.
The 10% Moogles from Titan, Babel and Empire put my Queen up to 90.4%. The next one will go to her as well, and then I'll probably start feeding them to Wilhelm?
I could barely do Babel PRO when it first came out, and I steamrolled the absolute crap out of Babel ELT today. Hooray for powercreep!
Sozhe is being a punk and not dropping his TM. 99.7% for about 80 energy so far!

I have so many questions, sorry!
Should I be doing anything with my lapis, aside from expanding inventory when I need to? I'm sitting on about 9000 now, and other than buying slots when I need and the daily 100 stamina pots, I don't see much use for it.
Another quickie. Is there a chance for higher rarity units to drop in the Ifrit event? Or just their base level?

Units will always drop at their lowest level rarity. You won't see a 5 star Yda as an example. If you see a rainbow on the raid pulls it is Yshtola.

I have three L+A at 90% and two black cowls at 70%. Think I'll do gloves for Yun next and then I have two Shines. That is unless Amelia drops soon.
OK, so could someone be so kind as to explain chaining to me. I'm either overthinking it or am extremely obtuse about it for some reason. Maybe my team just isn't meant to chain (6* Cecil, 6* Aileen, 6* Reberta, 4* Minfilia, 5* YShtola) At the moment I just tend to hit my units in random orders hoping to notice some difference. All I know is sometime hitting the same abilities in the same order sometimes does waaaay more damage

I read on reddit that you could successfully replace your healer with Minfilia in the raid. This is false, even with two Protection of the Gods. I got close, based purely on the dual wielding 800 atk friend Orlandeau, so I got most of the points, but I wanted that exp.
I feel like this trial might be a little rough if it's at the same tuning level in JP or higher,unless they don't preemptively fix the mana drain thing. Initially you could just drain Ultros to make it a lot easier and all the guides are written that way, but eventually it was fixed and the fight got a whole lot harder. Hopefully Ramza is in this enhancement batch and then can maybe run WKN/Refia/Ramza/Orlandu/Orlandu. Or 2xFry instead for more damage and a higher attack break but she's a little frail.

I'm interested in Camille's TMR for Fryevia, but then again, the Water element will split her elements and lower her damage unless I have a source of decent Water imperil, right?

Hey, should I bother keeping these 20 5% (Reberta only) moogles or should I just sell them instead of waiting for the event to come back?

If your attacks result in the numbers popping out of the monster at about the same time, it's a chain, which increases the damage. A single chain increases the damage by 1.1 for that second hit, so if you would hit for 100 damage each hit, the second hit would actually hit for 110.
If those hits happen to share an element, like Ice or Light, then the increase is 1.3. This increase continues up to 4x.
Some units have moves that hit multiple times. If you use another character, or the same character, to use a similar move that hits multiple times, then you'll create a larger chain. For comparison, your Reberta hits two times for her Ice/Fire/Lightning attacks. Her other attack, Mystic Thrust, hits 7 times. If you take a friend Reberta along with you, and you activate Mystic Thrust at about the same time on both units, she will create a 13x chain. The total damage will increase that much more if they happen to use the same elements on their weapons.
Any unit can chain. You can have two mages cast Blizzaga at the same time and they will create a chain, so the second blizzaga hits for 1.3x. Typically, you time it so that the unit with more damage will hit second. If you have a unit with an ice weapon, you can figure out about how long it takes for one unit's attack to make the damage numbers pop out, and try to make it so that the damage pops out at the same time with another unit's attack.
You can see the delays more readily with some units, like Noctis has to run up to the monster and then do his somersault backwards before he strikes. Olive has a long windup. Chizuru rushes up to the monster and gives it two whacks. Gilgamesh rushes up, spins his spear overhead, and then strikes once. Gilgamesh's tri-attack hits three times in a little chaining move.
The point of these moves is to give you the opportunity to chain and to boost your damage. For some units it doesn't really change much -- like, Minfilia is never going to hit for much damage. Other units hit multiple times so quickly that they don't give other units the chance to chain, because THEY hit the monster again.
You are probably overthinking it. You have two units that are excellent chainers, but they don't chain with each other -- Reberta's hits are a little slow, and Aileen's hits are really fast. If you bring a friend unit of the same, though, Aileen's Piledriver will rack up the hits, as will many Reberta moves.
Hey, should I bother keeping these 20 5% (Reberta only) moogles or should I just sell them instead of waiting for the event to come back?
Chances are the event won't come back, and Reberta will likely not be on another banner unless she gets chosen as a player's choice banner. If you run out of space for units I'd say you'd be safe selling them, since the chance of pulling Reberta now is rather low.
I myself am holding on to 20 of her Moogles currently, but if I need the extra space they'll be the first things to go.
I'm interested in Camille's TMR for Fryevia, but then again, the Water element will split her elements and lower her damage unless I have a source of decent Water imperil, right?
Right, not to mention it has no Mag, but if you have a water imperil I'd have to guess the loss of enhancer's mag is made up for being able to run another L&A instead of dual wield assuming you don't have a glove. Without the water imperil probably not but would have to test I guess.
Thanks @EggyToast I had a feeling my units just didn't link well. I keep seeing 2-3 hit chains constantly when the two hit, but it never goes above that. So If I bring an Aileen friend I have to time is so the second Piledriver starts the damage at a slight delay so that each hit alternates between Aileens?

Ideally I'd just use a Genji Glove yeah, but Gilgamesh has evaded me thus far. I think I'll mostly just pull for Amelia so Olive can have a pretty new dress and then save my Lapis for later.
Whoohoo! Got Excalibur with the last 5% moogle of the raid. In combination with Large Sword Mastery and Genji Blade, Firion is nearly at 700 atk.
[edit] Also, something I noticed. I was worried that TMR macro-ing would deplete my friend list of useful units for the Raid (dw Fryevias and dw Orlandeaus), but it turns out it's much easier to find these units from the random players. You get 19/20 of them at once, and if you don't find what you need, you just refresh once or twice. I'm looking at a 917 atk Orlandeau right now, and a few places below him is a 867 Orlandeau.
I reinstalled Nox and am still dealing with a TON of issues with FFBE crashing. Every morning I have to click "submit" to submit an error report. I just checked it this morning and it happened again. I really wish there was a better way to deal with it.
I'm close to the 5% Moogle, which will finish off L&A #2 for me. Then Fryevia gets a little bit of an upgrade - swapping out one pair of earrings for a Domination Ring so that I can dump Encore for L&A.
God, I have so many cactuars. I've been leveling units I don't even need. I got Refia to 100, wasting awakening materials in the process since I already have Y'shtola. I'm working on Dualcast, though. Since I only need one, I'm going to fuse 5 Ludmilles together after TMR farming. That should put Refia slightly above Y'shtola, right?
I've also been leveling Bartz, Warrior of Light, and Mercedes. Well, not leveling so much as dumping cactuars in them. Warrior of Light is maxed out. Presumably he'll get upgrades at some point, so I don't feel bad for using up materials. Bartz is max 4 star. I would awaken him, but I've run out of Sacred Crystals.
Not to mention, he's probably not worth the effort. I picked him because I don't have many high value units and I didn't want to level duplicate units like Firion or Zyrus. And Bartz has entrust, and while I can't really think of a situation where I would rather have LBs faster instead of higher DPS or whatever, I'm sure he'll be useful at some point between now and when I quit playing this game.
So, what do I do now? My many cactuars are preventing me from playing the game. Do I just sell them?

300. Of which something like 50 are taken up by Zyrus, Reberta, and Fryevia moogles. The smart thing would be to dump them, but... I still have hope.
Well, the Zyrus moogles can probably go, since I already have 3 Draco Spikes. I actually threw away one of my three Zyruses the other day. I don't know what I was thinking.
[edit] I mean, I have like 5 Elles clogging up my inventory. Why didn't throw out one of them instead of a Zyrus? Do I need 4 Lawrences? 4 Aidens? Why did I throw out a fucking Zyrus?
I guess because I figured I already got his TMR? That's the reason why I got rid of like 6 Kaines.
If you're wondering why I had so many Kaines (8), Zyrus (3), and Firion (5), it's because pulled three 10+1s in a fit of madnes. I had so many moogles and I wanted to use them. And I wanted Reberta. Never got her.
He's not bad, and the "free" 75% wind imperil for gl could probably be put to some good use but
- Another 'mostly just chains with himself' person and won't be a super common friend unit
- Locked into wind since it's ties to his ability
- Not a super tank, not a super damage dealer.
- Better stuff is coming (DV, OK, Anniversary?)
Has a nice TM, is an ok unit if you don't have better if you happen to get him but I wouldn't chuck a lot of resources at it personally.

Yeah once I finish leveling up Grace I'm going to be putting my larlars into Snow... If you know what I mean.
Sooon...
Not directly. You can buy an ungodly number from most King Mog grind events though. Next one should start on Friday.
...Probably.
Now to farm Babel for Lapis and hit the TMR mine.
I could barely do Babel PRO when it first came out, and I steamrolled the absolute crap out of Babel ELT today. Hooray for powercreep!
