    Just pulled an Ignus off the Anniversary Summon. Everyone seems to love Letters & Arms, but if I'm understanding correctly, it only really affects characters inflicting hybrid damage. Should I make it a TMR priority if my usual team is made of some combo of WoL, CoD, Rikku, Chizuru, Lighning, Seven, Refia, and Tidus?

    No. It's for mages and, as you said, hybrid damage dealers. You don't have any magic-users on your team, I don't think.

    Depending on how far you've made it in the story, you can buy the Buster Sword in Grandport for 1,500 gil.

    EDIT: The recipe is also in Grandport and uses Silver Ore instead of Iron Ore.

    I'm currently out of energy in the Lanzelt desert areas. So maybe I'll just push through and hope the next town is soon.

    Here's a tip if you don't know how to use Fryevia. Use Frost Flower Blitz on the boss. Use Ice Age if the boss is a physical attacker and is hitting you harder than you can heal. Frost Flash will clear entire groups, but it's costly to use against random encounters. Since my Fryevia is equipped with Ramuh, she also has Thundara as an AoE attack. It should suffice against weaker enemy groups and is cheap enough that Fryevia's MP refresh will cover the cost.

    [edit] And if Thundara isn't doing it for you and you have to upgrade to Frost Flash, use Osmose on random encounters every once in a while to refill you MP.

    Run Chamber of Awakening in the Vortex of Desires if you need awakening materials.

    Specifically, Chamber of Awakening - INT for Sacred Crystals, and Chamber of Awakening - ADV for Holy Crystals.

    Nevermind I was thinking of the wrong one I've gotten more sacred crystals from ADV than I ever have from INT, drop rate seems better.

    I run PRO simply because it also drops other 5 star awakening mats, but both sacred and holy drop. I think the best I've seen was 3 of each, or something.

    I've also gotten in the habit of running Electric Tower - Pursuit for the daily exploration, since it's 7 NRG and the boss can drop holy and sacred crystals.

    Budget Orlandeau has arrived. And I have a row of him for the next Mog King.

    Maybe I should take the time to level a few of them. Chaining a whole bunch of Divine Ruinations should allow me to take down the boss without having to take a non-bonus unit with me.

    Dang. Was hoping for Nier, then I could blow all my resources trying to get 2B then build back up in time to hope for a Meliadoul. I didn't want to do it in reverse!

    Unenhanced 6* Agrias is still a little lacking, she can't chain with Orlandeau yet and she only does 5 hits.

    She still does holy chains with a dupe of herself. Her ATK doesn't get as high, and she's got a bit of the flavor bug (covering female allies, yeah, OK, we get it), but still.

    Also, this is extremely satisfying:

    I'm just glad I can start building up tickets again as I have enough Agrias to handle the event. I dropped 20 on FFXII without much luck after the first draw of Ashe and 10 on this current banner as I was reading that Bran sync's with TGCid's DV attack, but all trash units like Sabin and Galuf.

    It feels good to be building up tickets again. I have 22 currently and the FFT grind event is gonna be great for stocking up on more. I don't see myself throwing any tickets at the FFT banner since I'm full up on bonus units and the new units don't interest me greatly.

    Not having a genji is such a bummer with Fryevia, I pulled a ton for Gilg too. Also need to wait for Sylvia to replace the enhancer since I didn't get 2 Fry. Not that she doesn't still murder everything, but still.

    Luneths enhancements are pretty damn strong. I do wish they would put more 100+ atk regular sword TM's in the game....hes still stuck with an enhancer at the moment and I've never gotten a Delita/DKC/Randi/Tidus to drop for me. Closest i got was Freyviax2 and aqua sword, and I need the needles for Frey..the aqua isnt enough of an upgrade to bother TM farming atm.

    No pulling for me on any banner until Nier, unless for some reason they decide to push it way out on the schedule but I doubt it. Currently sitting at ~19k lapis and 60 tix, 3 of which are 4+.

    Wasn't Nier a grind banner? That means it'll be at least 2 weeks.

    Nier was a raid.

    Could be next raid, or could be the shadowlord (prishe/werei) raid I guess if they were just hyping nier it but it's not really 'soon'.

    Veritas is probably the next story event. EV is good to get one of for Moon. Both 5*'s are good.

    FF3 (OK) probably the mog king after this FFT one.

    I on the other hand have something like 8 tickets and I expect they're all going to vanish in the event. I wonder how to get more of them.

    After seeing this, I looked it up, and supposedly Bran's Thunder Clap skill chains with Divine Ruination. I'm currently leveling a Bran because I might try using him for Aigaion trial as an MP battery, as he has an HP / MP recovery song (not as good as Lunera, obviously, but I'm limited by what I have). That's gonna be a while off, though, as I need to farm some stuff for Fryevia and get a couple of Jack's TM for Rikku.

    However, since I'm leveling him anyway, I'll test out using Bran with Orlandeau and see hownit works out. Thunder Clap is Light and Lightning damage, so he doesn't need an elemental weapon, and it comes with a 50% Light and Lightning Imperil, so that's pretty cool. What surprised me, though, is that Bran can use Fist Weapons, which means he can make use of Yun's Crimson Slayer, Champion's Belts and the Martial Arts Mastery from Aigaion, which is pretty cool.

    I'll try it out and see how it goes.

    Looks like Japan is getting young Kain and Rydia, 6* Rosa, Phoenix Esper (with an AoE Raise)

    Also they want to fix jump so it can be timed and do additional attacks so it can chain.

    I guess I should prioritize a Bowie Knife + Excalibur in my TM farming? Agrias being able to Holy-chain with Friendlandus seems like just what the doctor ordered for me.

    It looks like with her 6-star upgrade this Friday, she gets Divine Ruination at 6*/100? Maybe the Exvius wiki is making an incorrect assumption.

    She gets Divine Ruination, but it's a paltry 5 hit version with different frames from Orlandeau's. Once it's enhanced, it goes to 7 hits with the same frames as him.

    So probably ain't going to see a lot. Okay then.

    Also, damn, the event made me run up against the material limit already. I have like 23 slots occupied with ability awakening materials and not one of my dudes (cept lasswell) even has an awakenable ability. Going to have to spend hard-earned Lapis on inventory space, really. Grumble.

    Hopefully you're doing the 5 daily quests a day too. It gives you 100 lapis. Also run the Arena, win or lose you get 40 lapis.

    Inventory is a good investment. That lapis you're spending? You didn't lose it. Those inventory slots will be with you as long as you play the game.

    Compare that to the daily pull. It's free now because of the anniversary, but it's 250 lapis per day after the 28th. I've been doing the daily pull since I've started playing - that's a lot of lapis, like 35k+ lapis - and I usually get trash. I know that's the game, but it feels like I've been throwing away lapis when I could have used that to expand all my various inventories. I threw 15k on the Reberta banner and didn't get her. I threw 5k on the Tilith banner and got fuck all.

    Inventory slots are safe, worthwhile purchases. Don't hesitate to buy as many of them as you need.

    I really hope 1 Agrias is enough to solo ELT. I don't want to level up a second one.

    [edit] Maybe I can add a whole bunch of Mercenary Ramza or Knight Delita to my friend list and not level any Agrias at all. That would be ideal.

    I definitely want to awaken and level my one Agrias to max. She was my full breaker for a good long time and I want to show her some love. The other three Agrias can just be dragged through the event with Gaffgarion.
