    Builder got updated. GLS can hit 2401 mag ignoring her TM (with a lot of other STMRs). With her TM, best case is 2103 (2x rem stmr/corrupt emp). With my current gear, minus enchants, it's 1849. With her STMR it would be 1908. 59 mag is rad and all but guess I don't really feel like I need to pull 2 more of her.

    I'm convinced more than ever they bugged daggers the other way when fixing the previous bug. I did over a dozen runs on a bowie knife and not a single one got me stats better than what I got on it from the first IW. Hell none of the stats were better than any of the 3 bowie knives I ran through in the first IW. If it wasn't for the fact daggers wouldn't be coming back for 4-6 months, I probably would have saved my 80 some NRG pots.

    RNG be RNG but I got high tide and decent stats on a second bowie knife on my last run.

    With the damage Rinoa can put out, any mage hitting more than 1700 mag is not in need of extra mag, you'll clear content fine, just possibly not a full one shot.

    My current tmr farm is getting fina's dark swimsuit for some mage usage, agni is almost done for hyoh, and 3 others are cooking (kunshira's, 2nd desch's, and bicorne hat).

    Yeah screwing around I could get T.Terra up to over 1800 Mag, but she'd lose a bunch of HP (6K vs 9K). I can get her just over 1700, which is good enough. I can take the ePeen hit to have more HP and MP.

    Man, this stat cap increase is great, now my Malphasie is at ~1.1k ATK and over 1.5k MAG with room to grow. Also my Viktor was over-capped on DEF, so it's good to see him get a small boost today.

    I can't bring myself to pull on Citra's banner. Hopefully I'll get a Lotti down the road off banner. With the stat increase, her TMR is now the best non-STMR robe.

    I got all the quests one, the next one I'm missing 2 for esper summongs and 1 from LB. collessum and arena are mostly bronze and still a ways to go for silvers. however I am one ding away from getting ring of dominion, so maybe I'll do some lb farming at ifrit to get that up.

    Don't use your expansion vouchers right now. There is a bug that charges you lapis as well.

    There's a few big bugs floating around. Apparently Dragonlord's Trust ability is just...gone. Also, the global TDH effects working while wielding a shields and nothing else. Now the expansion voucher thing...I assume there's going to be a bit of compensation going out.

    Hrm, I have the necessary equipment to get Reberta over the 400% ATK cap, putting her at 2016 ATK. That seems pretty good. When IW for Swords comes back, I should be able to do that with a free materia slot.

    Edit: also that'll go up a little after I get the Demon Mail+, used Iron Colossus as a stand-in.

    I'm up to 2017 with my Reberta, drops to 1949 if I want to use the Dragoon Gauntlet for extra jump damage.

    The TDH one isn't that big of a deal. It's just applying TDH effects when using a shield and no weapon. Not sure if any of the effected units would really benefit from that.

    Yes, make sure to use up the raid summons to get those sweet Malphasie and Circe TMR moogles! I will be using up my remaining 400k tonight. Extra cactuars will go toward maxing out GL Sakura to 120.

    @BlehBlehAmiga Thanks for experimenting with GL Sakura. If her STMR is only ~60 MAG, I don't feel the need to get more of her to try to get it. There is no way I will ever get the STMR's needed to max her out anyway.

    I appear to have lost six people from my Friends List overnight. I had a few really old ones that had not logged in in forever that I hadn't gotten around to clearing out, so I'm guessing they did a purge on those since my oldest one now isn't that long ago. It does put a damper on the TMR farm, though, until I get those filled. If anyone here doesn't have me in their list yet, I have spots open :) I'm on the spreadsheet.

    I've switched my main friend unit from Orlandau to Malphasie since she seems more versatile as a friend unit.

    Maxed out my GL Sakura with the raid coins. Geared with suboptimal gear she has almost 1600 MAG while keeping my TT at almost 1700 MAG. She also has 9.4k HP and 800+ spirit and 700+ MP. Looking forward to murdering things with her.

    I don't know what to think about GLS' Trust Ability only being the triple cast. On one hand, it feels underwhelming that she doesn't get any stat boosts or LB buffs from using her TMR, but on the other hand, on demand triple cast is cool. Just wish it had a little more oomph to it.

    If I get my GLS dupe I'm probably going to run her with her TMR anyway because of the extra durability it gives her, the extra HP and SPR make her quite survivable, which I really like from my DPS units.

    So the game was updated with a bunch of bug fixes. I was trying to use my arena orbs and the game crashed. Came back to an update that took a bit to download. Expansion vouchers are still broken so don't use them. Looks like Dragonlord is fixed now. I noticed that GL Sakura's Grim Lord ability is in a different spot. I should be up higher anyway, to match other units "double ability" skills. I can get used to that.

    I went over JP's update schedule, and holy shit we're getting such good stuff. Eventually.

    Super Trust moogles! Breaking the stat pot cap! Extra SP for espers! Buff/Break timer! Story mode reset (so much lapis)! TMR coin mixer! Split inventory for enhancer-type units! Advanced/Expert/Parameter missions!*

    By the way, in a few months we should get new Trophy recipes, one of which is better than Arsha's Talisman. Ring of Genbu/Genbu's Ring/Genbu Ring. Anyone know the materials for this accessory? And is it worth holding off farming/moogling Arsha's Talisman? It should come out in 4 months.

    [edit]* This list is in reverse chronological order.

    This is part of the reason I am going back and clearing old stages I never fully handled (other than the immediate lapis benefit of course).

    Molten variables hiss and roar. On my mind-forge, I hammer them into the greatsword Epistemology. Many are my foes this night.

    I had the same problem today. The update fucked with the game's ability to handle fast/simultaneous clicks, I think. I'm told that the Android magnifier trick is also broken. Anyway, I fixed my TMR macro by changing it from 4x speed to 3x speed, so try slowing your macro down.

    She'll get some more oomph here next week with her enhancements.

    Edit: I do think it would have been better if they had made her Ruler of Fear as the TMR ability and have 3x cast as a default ability.
