    Down to 2 maxed minitaurs after getting TGCid up. Maybe I'll work on Wilhelm if he'll help for the new trials, otherwise I'll be waiting till the next batch just in case T.Terra is part of it.

    Hehehe. Been a stellar day. With chaining broken, I'd undertaken to just do Bahamut the hard way. I can only get Basch to about 9k HP currently, but he, Raegen, Seph, Nichol and Fina got it done (if barely). I should not have taken my paralysis defense off Nichol, that made it hairy for a bit. But got it done!!!!

    Bahamut's joined the party, y'all!!

    Edit: also, g'ddamn, those Olives and Oldmans and Wilhelms look awesome.

    This banner has been pretty generous. Spent a couple tickets to try to get a second Rena, and got a second Marie instead.

    3 off banner 5 stars in daily pulls and 4 tickets.

    I decided to spend one more ticket, and I got my first Olive.

    I think my luck for the month should be gone.

    ...What the fuck?!

    "Alright, I don't actually care for FF8, but I should pop a few tickets in the banner for the MK bonuses"

    Third ticket, rainbow. "Holy shit. I hope it's Rinoa, she really did deserve a better game than what she g- WAIT IS THAT ANOTHER LOREN WTF"

    So. I have two Lorens. Gotten with like ten tickets separation between each other. What in the balls. So I guess when she gets her 7* form I know I have at least one good 7* waiting, I guess!

    (I never did get a single on-banner unit, mind, but I'll deal)

    I'm told Loren 7* is fucking amazing. Top tier unit. Which makes sense, I suppose, because she's locked behind a paywall in JP. If she had been locked behind a paywall in GL, 7* Loren would have cost 400 bucks.

    So congratulations.

  • TeaSpoonTeaSpoon Registered User regular
    Free daily gave me Eiko #2. I suppose 7* Eiko is better than 6* Eiko. That doesn't take much, though.

    4 4* tickets and 2 regular tickets, of which 1 gave me a gold crystal.

    2 Zells out of 5 golds...

    Lolol Wilhelm tanking the Raid Trial. Not a single hit took off more than 50 damage.

    I know Evasion tanking is the safer strat. But god damn Wilhelm.

    EDIT: Also with most of my friendslist being you guys I might be bonered for 200% units since we all are saving for other stuff. My only hope is @urahonky going ham for Squall :lol:

    I got (1) squall from the dozen tickets I’d budgeted to this banner, so I’ll have him up as a 100% option soon

    Welp, at least I have some units now. Since the first step is a 10% moogle assured, and traditionally 10+1 seem to give me piles of golds, and I had like 47K lapis, I did a 10+1 summon hoping for some Zells. Landed two Ramiras and a Rinoa instead, so with a +200% I'm pretty set even with the fact that due to the 7* thing nobody in my friend list has bonus units at the moment. Been doing the ELT a bunch.

    Course, from changing to the raid team to use the orbs once I ranked up, and then forgetting to shift back to team bonus, I just missed a chance to do a +200% on a three bonus mob run that gave me 3.2K mk points without any bonus, so I'm kind of kicking myself a bit at the moment. Ah well.

    Here's the tally:

    5% rainbow: blue
    10+ ticket: nothing
    4 4*+ tickets: a zell
    6 regular tickets: nothing
    First step up: nothing
    Second step up: nothing
    Third step up: M Ramza #2 (first 7* tank so that's good)
    Fourth step up: nothing
    70% blue ticket: blue
    Last step up: Rinoa

    Sigh. I felt it in my bones and I should have stopped at the third step for a sec. I have around 20k left. I need to decide if I want to get to step 3 at least...

  • Magus`Magus` The fun has been DOUBLED! Registered User regular
    First three tickets: Squall, blue, Loren #2!!

    Kidding, I got Clyne and the on banner blue.

    Also, there's like no FFVIII units on my friends list yet.

    Just a heads up since for some reason the FFBE Wiki doesn't have the SeeD MK page up yet.
    The last enemy is a Demon type with 100% Earth Resistance; otherwise no defenses or weaknesses worth noting.

    Did anyone notice that the raid jumped up to level 31 last night? It's going down to level 30 in a few minutes, but I think all the 7* Olives actually propelled the raid from where it was stuck at 28/29.

  • Dunadan019Dunadan019 Registered User regular
    So if I'm doing the math correctly, it takes 650 NRG worth of gil snapper caverns to get enough to raise one unit to 7 stars.

    I have no idea how much NRG in the cactuar dunes to go from 101 to 120 but I imagine it's obscene.

    Guys... When the fuck did I pull a second Orlandeau?! Why am I wasting my resources on Lightning??

    Technically Lightning is better. It’s just that she’s harder to chain. If the iOS tray still worked, i may have enhanced her first.

    But she's Lightning.

    And he's Oldmandeau. Clearly better.

    Guess it depends on your prefered gender of Waifu?

    Tossed my 30% blue and 2 10% blue tickets along with 6 regular tickets and 3 4* tickets. Came out with 2 Zells and 3 Remiras with nothing else of note. Oh well, FF8 was never really my thing and I got bonus units.

  • LuvTheMonkeyLuvTheMonkey High Sierra Serenade Registered User regular
    That should be enough, honestly. LGD is very easy with a good damage dealer and a similar friend unit.

    Yeah, LGD this time around is stupid easy, my Sephiroth and Raegen are doing it with no outside assistance. I got 1 Zell and 2 Remiras, calling it good, hopefully I can find 3 7* FFVIII units every like 10 hours lol.

    did one pull on the first stage of step up, got enough 3 and 4*'s to make a party of bonus units..oh and a 4th gilgamesh...i mean seriously game. out of the 65 or so unique rainbows in the game you give me one of the 13 i have 3 of instead of one i have none of... , don't care about squall or rinoha, I did notice that on the shop they are selling 3 FULLY leveled king cactars along with the 100 king cactars, which is very nice.

    In my experience, I was averaging about 200k XP from catuar dunes for 30 NRG. So, 44m XP divided by 200k is 220 run or 6600 NRG. That's assuming no Great or Amazing enhancements. Of you could bank them and wait for the next enhancement bonus week/weekend.

    I've already found a couple of 7* Squals on my friend list and I know of a couple more that have not popped up yet. I think it should be an okay farm if I can get those to pop up every few hours.

    Only Squall and Rinoa

    Oh shit good to know about the 7*. I assumed not since you can awaken a 4* to 6* and it doesn't change their percentage.

    Ah! interesting. Well I have 0, so no worries there. Threw my 5 tickets, 2 4*'s, 1 90% blue, and Ex ticket, with a couple Ramira's and 1 Zell.

    Just a heads up, some people on Reddit are claiming that their 4* tickets have been returning some 3* units. So, hopefully that gets fixed and we get compensation for any 4* tickets used.

    First step up only netted me a zell and ramira or whatever her name is. I got 6k lapis left so probably do the second step at lunch and see what I get.

    Then I dunno, Might check those bundles and see if there is any I want to buy. Else its back to catching up the story.

    There's a person on my friend list with a 7* olive with 2 of her STMR. She's at 2304ATK and an obscene amount of machine killer.

    It's probably wasted on her right now to be honest . I did the math on her and hitting 300% TDH and 300% atk passive is fairly easy even without her STMR. when the caps go up, sure that will likely put her at 400% atk immediately
