Striked out with 100 gems. Only thing I want on this is the CLSB and I am not crazy enough to pull just for that with VII God mode banner looming in the distance.
I want to make Auron work for me, so I added a few Gaze of the Voids and Mostly Megaflares to my list. I know that Banishing Blade does the same thing as Card Trick, but it's got a higher debuff strength.
I really need X relics, but I don't know if I can wait until Rikku's USB (which is ridiculously efficient). This first X banner isn't too hot, but I DO have Tidus/Yuffie BSBs available to utilize the chain.
100 gem got me Lulu's enIce SSB.
Bit meh about it since mages have a lot of trouble with getting enough meter to burn multiple bars even if I did somehow get her BSB as well but I'm not in a particular rush to chase after anything on these banners. I'll wake up for the next FFX banner with Rikku's USB
However, the new MC3s.... yeah, big load pulled up at the station with this one. Reno, Cid (VII) and Sazh are getting their MC3s due to qualifying for it via BSBs or due to a particularly effective SSB (Cid with his Shout copy)

For getting Lulu bars, I would suggest equipping her with Ace Striker, and summoning a Vessel of Fate or Metamorphose RW at the start of battle. Have her spam the instant-cast command to build meter.
Alternatively, she has Witch access, so you could perhaps spam Sudden Freeze if you don't want to devote your RW to VOF or Metamorphose.

100 Gem: 3*
Final Report on my first 3000 Gems:
Red XIII SSB
OK OSB
Celes SSB
Refia SSB
Desch SSB
Fran SSB2 (dupe)
Ramza SSB2
(maybe one more but I can't find a record if so)
That's not terrible. Only two of the items were really immediately used but stat-sticks are fine.
100 gem: nothing
50 mythril: dupe Paine SSB (my fourth)
There was a fairly high chance of that happening for me on this banner, but I always pull at least once whenever an FFX event comes along, and this banner was the best one for me to do it on

Do the rewards for this event seem weird to anyone else? Auron's Wardrobe record and memory crystals, but not actually the character.
Boy howdy did I overprepare for the Kimhari Solo Mission. Major Regen RM, Leeching Leap, and an Innocence RW. Didn't even need to re-cast the RW or use Kimhari's own SB. Granted, Kimhari is at level 65, so.

Man I just RW'd Energy Rain on them.

I pumped 20 levels into Kimhari and I don't even think I needed to do that.

100 gems: nothing. Unless I hit 5* on my next three 100 gem draws (which will never happen), I am guaranteed to finish my gem bag well under average for the expected number of hits over six months, which is out and out infuriating. Oh well, always coming short of average is the statistically expected outcome, right?
As I've said, I need FFX DPS, and I could use more Water and Ice element stuff in particular. Plus I'm planning on pulling on FFV Gogo #1, so a Water Chain might get some backup.

Well, Lulu is my Ice Queen now, I guess, and I've a reason enough to hone the Ice Witch stuff. What a fucking pull.

Celebration dagger, a Bracer and mark of conquest loner RM was enough to let Kimhari65 cap damage on lightning dive. Which was good because who hones things really.
Preliminary report: Yuna USB has saved my ass at least twice already farming 160 Hashmal. I switched out a paladin for an OSB character to blow it up faster, so as a result I had to cut Shellga from my lineup. Things were fine for a couple runs, then I got a run where Hashmal decided to cast Roxxor a bunch, dealing 6000+ and one-shotting people. Hey, I have a SB here that brings people back from the dead! And lo, it worked.
So after that run I traded in Shellga for Protectga. Now Roxxor is not a threat! But if I'm not snappy about killing Hashmal the moment that Perfect Defense wears off, there's that pesky five-hit combo. Fortunately, everybody has Last Stand from the medica used to recover from Ultimate Roxxor, and can keep on trucking even if they absorb multiple 3000 damage hits from the combo.

I got rid of Sapphire Shot because at the time, I was short on Fire and Ice orbs, and honestly, Sharpshooter seemed like a joke of an ability skillset.
Blue Deep is just a 2.1/2.35 (ranged weapon) 4* skill. It's a stronger Waterga Strike with ranged capability. Gives some of your ninjas something neat to use that relies on physical damage.
Is there any reason to keep my copy of Blue Deep? Seems like Hydroburst outclasses it, to say nothing of Sapphire Shot.
It's better ST damage than Hydroburst and as such could be useful for people with only 4* Shooter, which admittedly I don't remember who they are but I'm sure they exist.

El sigh.
Eh. Another time.
Looks like my next pull will be the day the FFV event starts.
The pull will be on the FFIV event, perhaps (lol)
edit:
Or I could just stop hovering around 0 mythril and actully do some saving. Ceodore will be back another time.
4/11 pull: High Summoner's Robe, 2x Thief Costume, and Double-Edge. Giving me all the Tidus relics, game...
Meh.
Pairs very nicely with VOF.
Yeah, I know it is useful and fills a hole I had in my team, but it is not a very exciting pull to get 2 of those.

With that and my lucky draw I'm pretty sure I've used all my luck for the year.

Maybe I should just start saving completely until then.

I get it, game. You want me to run a mage team.

D4: eggs, eggs, 4*, eggs, greens, eggs, eggs, greens, eggs, 3*
So far two successes in four days (32 runs).
Also, if I see another egg again I'm going to punch a chicken. Useless drops are 100% unappreciated!
But killing the Golden goose is supposed to stop the eggs!
My son's acct is weak in X, so we decided to pull:
1/11, Lulu SSB Moogle
1/11, Paine SSB gloves
Poor kid.
Fujin Larsa and Cid VII are now MC3'd
Also, the first Core MC3s just came out in Japan, and the RM4s are just terrible.
