Well, bit bummed that gold knights (on at least hard and below) aren't guaranteed to drop chips. Maybe that changes in + though, because at least in +, Cactuars drop FOUR greater orbs instead of one.

Picking up a third dupe on the only banner I was really eyeing (PS2 games), and one of the main prizes is putting me off it. Tidus or Rikku's USBs are the only things that would be a significant gain now, and the Ashe/Balthier/Reks consolation prizes aren't much of a draw since I'm already really strong in FF12 and already have better options in lightning magic/fire phys/shout-likes, although they could all use buddies.
Blegh. Kind of tempted to throw 50 mythril at Banner 1 in hopes of Maria or Onion's BSBs since they're close to the top of the list for the gem select stuff with any WoL thing or Desch's BSB as a consolation prize since poor Shan still has no mage lightning friend to use her chain with. Or maybe just hoard. I'm at like 250 mythril now though, and only really eyeing two event banners (FFTA/Onion) between now and the anniversary besides probably a single pull on XV for RS/CMs (and absolutely no more than one), and I guess Christmasfest MAYBE, whatever it ends up being.
That's a lot of dupes. The best part about not having shit for relics is that the fest banners generally are pretty risk free!
It's actually really nice of them to give out a lot of 4* accessories with the dungeons to unlock Tyro's USB2. I'm not sure what they all are, as I haven't bothered to look, but I'm sure at least a few of them will be useful to new accounts, and maybe 1 or 2 useful to older accounts as well (like the FFVII one I know is the Blonde Wig, which gives sleep resist).
As for the Gold Knights, hopefully they drop individually larger numbers of chips to make up for it not being a guaranteed drop, which would make them less of a bummer to see once you have all the rewards.
30 draw was a near total wash for me. 5/30, 2x 6*s
Dupe Platinum Sword (the 6th one I believe I've gotten?)
Dupe Faris' Bracers
Dupe Aldebaran gun
MUTHEREFFING BLITZBALL
and Luneth's OSB
So, Blitzball 6* which is... AH HAA HAA HAAA HAAA HAAAAAAA
and Luneth's spear which is nice because it's a 6* spear with a natural Wind Boost. Good for Fang for when she's not in XIII realms. However it being a Wind OSB when my Wind selection is somewhat nicely packed because of Fang means that welp, sorry Luneth, you might not make it on the team despite that
I did my 100 gem pull on Banner 1 because I thought 'Why the hell not?'.
100 gemmed a 6*! and it's... Luneth's USB.
WELP I TAKE THAT BACK. Luneth, you're on the team thanks to that USB's EnWind and wind proc fast cast.
Updated my friend profile (see signature below) to be Shadow's Shuriken Storm BSB. He'll probably get an MC3 tomorrow when I either blow stamina to kill Omega Weapon 140 or finish the VI event, not that him being 99 is necessary to RW for any of the Orbfest stages.
Fire+ Staff is cool. Earth Res Armour & +10 ATK for Yda is cool. Galuf BSB is also an Imperil Fire, so I guess the theme for today is: go kill Sealion.
OK BSB is real good, particularly since I know you were after Shout - it's hastega and 30/30 ATK/MAG boost, with his two abilities being physical attack, speed up next physical attack, and magical attack, speed up magical attack.
Main problem is that OK's stats are shit until in the 90s. Take advantage of orbfest to power level him.
The only other problem is that OK only gets his real power from his record dive (unlocking ability uses) which requires onion motes. It'll take a special event to get them.

If Mote dungeons pop, you can beat up Ahriman for OK Motes as well.

The real problem is that he doesn't seem to have gotten OK's BSB, but rather OK's OSB. Desch and Ingus BSBs are solid, though.
I got Ramza's Iga Blade out of the free x30 Draw. I thought I'd never see that thing again. So happy! Free entrusts all day long!
In other news, did I miss the banner with Warrior of Light's Holy link on it? I don't see it listed among the relics on banner 1. I've been saving my mithril specifically for banner 1 for the Holy Link and I don't even see it on the list.
Welp, pulled on Banner 1 as well. 1/11 Firion BSB. Guess i can't complain but a bit of a letdown after the past few days. Still, magic blink is always a good thing.

The banners (as usual) changed from the JP versions. Unfortunately this time around they generally got worse, as several top tier relics were removed (including WoL's holy chain, Rinoa's ice chain and Rosa's ultra).

My holy team is stacked so full that getting a link ability is pretty much the only way I will be able to improve it.
Also, I guess I'm gonna need to visit the internet to review the banners. I don't know what to pull on anymore if I don't have a shot at Warrior of Light's link weapon.

We have absolutely no idea! There is a lot of speculation, but nothing based in fact. This is even more irritating than the lack of bard stuff, Ayame and Curilla having to wait months to get their MC3 access, and characters like Mog and Kefka having delayed or not yet implemented record dives. It's probably about as irritating as the lack of a legend dive for Zack and Locke, who coincidentally got their legend dive access in JP when many of the chains debuted in the Super Fest we skipped.

Haha, what do we even need Chains for? It's not like right now the top content is all elemental theme and omni to everything but their element.
Single pull on banner 1, since my synergy for I, II, and III is all pretty bad:
1/11, Firon's Burst.
Its a good burst, but I've already got Beatrix's BSB, OSBs for TGCid and Agrias, along with Agrias' 10 hit/enholy SSB, Pecil's BSB2, and Cid Raines' BSB. I'm good on holy damage.
Firon'll be nice for some CMs, but this still isn't going to do much for me, Magicite-wise
I went 5/30 with 2 Discos! Dunno how that compares to average but not a terrible number. Cloud OSB (I have his BSB2 so cool), Paplymo OSB (I have his ice aura SSB...), Tidus BSB, Nine, SSB, Lulu SSB1 (I think? The marching moogles).
That was a draw I guess. Tidus and Cloud stuff will find a home probably. Cloud is in trouble because the only time I can't use his USB as a RW is in the Golem fight and I don't think it will help me sub 30 him. We will see. Tidus is nice for more water damage always. It's my third water aura and second BSB with it.
The SSBs are kinda dire. Lulu gets +10 magic and nothing else out of this. Nine doesn't gain much more either, but is generally less useful to me. Paplymo's OSB is almost comical though. I have an ice aura and a fire OSB on him. Damn you DENA and your element switching ways! Decent stat stick for random caster who might end up on my team at least.
Yea I'm thinking about rosettaing the potato osb even though it's stupid and doesn't have +fire outside of 14 because dena is jerks, just so i can have a 190+ mag weapon in all realms. Having 2 200+ atk swords and a 197 atk dagger has been very useful, I imagine the rod would also be nice.
edit: oh damn, there are 5 MC3s in the treasure parlor. I guess I should spend some of my 19 MC3s on characters I just got stuff for, heh.
So apparently with the gold knights this time around; not only do they have a limited chance at showing up, the chips aren't a guaranteed drop. Just had a group of four not drop any at all
I dunno about worst. My draw, the only thing I can use without luck on other banners is a dupe of Sephiroth's Glove.
Dupe elemental booster is still good and even without en-wind that OSB can still heavily contribute to Golem at least.
I'm doin' something wrong, because the best I can get Fujin to do with her OSB on Golem is 14K. At which point I might as well just swap her out for Ramza, to give more speedcasts to Strago

What the absolute hell
My non aura Fujin OSBs hit for 67k. Granted I'm full dived so she has higher base MAG and some +wind and +blk but still.
The hell are you doing? Are you not taking any MAG boosts?
In total what I have on her:
Dive: +9% BLK, +9% Wind
RM: +30% Wind
Equipment: +20% Wind
Magicite: +11.75% Wind
And then 526 base MAG with 2 30% boosts
Armiger is basically TG mode (x3 cast speed) plus some attack as long as the stoneskin bubble stays up.
So, it is of varying usefulness depending on what content you're doing and if you have soul breaks (chant, asylum) that can reup the bubble before it drops off. But if you can keep it up for a long time it allows noctis to pew pew pretty hard with stuff like full charge or omega drive, especially with the doublecast combat lm.

SpectrumArcher of InfernoChaldea Rec RoomRegistered Userregular
Also I now own Noctis's OSB and his doublestrike LM
Is there a most effective way to crush skulls with him? Not sure how the Armiger effect works
Ideally have someone else on the team who can provide party Blinks or Stoneskin also while Noctis spams Omega Drive as hard as possible (with sufficient ATK boosts to get to a decent multiplier). You may not have Omege Drive, in which case Full Charge is actually acceptable because of the cast speed bonus he gets while Armiger is active.

Hm. Well, I forgot to do her 3* dive before that attempt, for one (she was at level 1 this morning, and is now at 80. Don't have the eggs to go to 99 at the moment).
Right now, she's at 353 base magic, whilst equipped with her OSB weapon, Bartz's cloak (for +Wind), and the FFT Winged boots (for Earth resistance). Ace Striker may have been a mistake.
The Golem team I'm currently running carries 2 30% boos- wait. Shit. I fucked up- I brought Onion and Alphinaud at the same time. They don't stack.
Maybe she'll do better if I bring Onion and Rapha or Papalymo and Alphinaud, instead. And swap Ace Striker for Scholar's Boon and give her Wrath and Raging Storm.
Her Legend Dive would of course help the most, but that's beyond my means at the moment.

When I created the site, one thing that was clear for me is that I didn't want to have to manually enter any data. Because DeNA didn't (and still don't) offer any API to fetch the data directly, you can only get info on equipment, relic draws, dungeons and enemies by playing the game. So I needed a little army of bots to play the game for me in order to get the data. So that's exactly what I did. And for the record, no FFRK Central user owned account was ever used by the datamining backend. I had my own accounts and they were more than enough.
I had about 2,400 bots playing FFRK 24/7. When I say "play", I mean it. They were doing daily relic draws (both free and using Mythril), they were completing dungeons and beating enemies. Overall, we're talking about 14,906,500 battles fought and 2,113,000 relic draws performed.
...
As I'm writing this, my bots have a total of 200,371 Mythril and 155,338,152,745 gil between themselves. Kinda makes you wish you could transfer them to other accounts, right . But despite what people might think, I've never once used my bots to fight my own battles in FFRK. I just couldn't bring myself to cheat.
