    It's actually the normal amount - his takes half the number normal spheres do, if memory serves.

    ...great, now I really want Bartz's LMR, again.

    I have all of this aside from Ramza USB, so I may try it at some point.

    Actually no, I was wrong. They all take 75 motes too.

    I could have sworn.

    Haha, Faris's Glint is an improved version of her old unique Soul Break, Sea Lord's Broadside. Power creep, yo.

    I feel kinda weird not wanting to pull on an FFV banner, particularly one loaded with cool and flavorful new tech. The blurse of foresight, I guess.

    ...huh. Looks like I forgot to do the Cid Missions on the FFXIII event. Looking at the team I had been building, I plumb forgot to do those two fights at all.

    Oh well! At least I didn't forget the stuff with mythril. Orbs come and go.

    I'm kinda stacked for old XI relics, but I enjoy the RoP dailies so

    2/3: Prishe BSB (dupe), Curilla USB1

    ....nice, buff and radiant for a realm that could definitely use it. Plus I snagged her USB2 during the last XI event so she's got some nice utility to bring to the table. (Also have her healing/esuna SSB so even more so)

    I vaguely remember when Gluttony Swords were the must-have for up and coming tanks in XI. I don't think I could afford one at the time, hah!

    XI: 1/3, no disco. Curilla BSB. Not a dupe, though it won't beat out her USB1 unless I really need Sentinel for some reason.

    Shantotto Chain. Iridal Staff.

    Lightning again.

    Is there a mote dungeon that is Lightning?

    Zeid BSB. And guess what, it was what I needed to clear d280 Torment. Pretty happy with that pull. It helps that he's got access to Heavy Combat.

    Holy shit this 260 CM is stupid as hell.

    Edit: Finally beat the damned thing after ten tries. It took a legit V fire team with Gilgamesh's CSB to beat him down. I've never been so glad to have Faris's BSB2.

    I am quitting 100 gem pulls... until Rainbow shards go live. Better to get rainbow powder than gil, at this point. Same deal with LotR pulls.

    I keep hoping to get a daily hit that blows open the magicite I'm working on and I haven't had a daily hit in weeks now.

    You can have the shared soulbreak light armor I got. Does a whole single water attack. It's even a dupe, because I remember pulling this way back in the day.

    Is that the Viking Coat? I remember that thing! I recall pulling it off of an actual banner, and realizing that the person I most wanted to use it on was... Wakka. Whose default soul break is the same damn move.

    I just reviewed my log of daily draw hits (I started a log of all my relic draws back when they updated the daily draws, to help answer the question of "when the heck did I get this?")

    Last daily draw hit: 13 days ago (Bartz LMR2)
    Last potentially useful daily draw hit: 2/8/19 (Lulu Arcane)
    Last hit I've actually used for its SB: never (I've used a couple for stat sticks, but I haven't gotten around to using the 2-3 potentially useful SBs I've drawn)

    Basically, I wouldn't count on the daily draw to help you with any particular magicite. :X

    One fun thing this tracking has done is help me compare how the Realms on Parade draws have been going every festival.
    September 2018: 6 very useful items out of 17
    December 2018: 5 very useful items + 1 potentially useful item out of 17
    March 2019: ??? (not doing them until after the rainbow shards update)

    Had some trouble with Manticore yesterday, so I decided i'd give Typhon a try and managed to down him in 25secs!

    Strange fight, but not that hard or random once you get the hang of it. Nevermind that, apparently I can go too fast and mess it all up.

    The team was:

    Serah CSB
    Lulu USB2/AOSB
    OK BSB
    Matoya USB
    Elarra USB

    If you don't need them to beat the DPS checks, I highly recommend removing all of your doublecast LMs for Chupon, just to make things more consistent. That looks very similar to my team, but I have Rinoa USB/AOSB instead of Lulu, Shantotto USB instead of Matoya, and Shelke instead of Onion.

    That fight is so consistent and low-stress that it has become my go-to farm for weekly/monthly missions.

    That seems so counter-intuitive, but i'll give it a go. I don't think I got very many doublecasts at all in the run where I offed him.

    Theirs was linked to the introduction of a new feature, draw tickets, I believe.

    I think the understanding was that we got the same draws, just not connected to tickets because those don’t exist yet.

    I think so, the 40x draw was connected to Legendary weapons and here's some crap to mulch for shards. Otherwise we'd be unprepared.

    Technically, we’re better prepared regardless. Because we know that there will be a second wave of legendary weapons that are better choices for rainbow shards, so we won’t spend as much on the Realm Synergy-focused ones.

    They knew that too. It is in the legendary weapon announcement when it comes. I was talking about FFRK in general not just Reddit etc

    Daily today was Aemo SSB, which means I've technically got healing coverage for every realm now.

    The last few dailies I got were Uniques (Vincent, Strago), so this was a step up I suppose.

    Was skimming through reddit clears of Belias for stuff that might help 38th. Didn't find any that fit exactly with what I know 38th has, but I did run across this comical clear where someone gets a sub-30 with Tidus, Yuffie, and Onion (Ninja USB + Voltech). Tidus and Yuffie are dealing hits for 7000 (9999 on crits) when the chain is at maximum :0

    You are the best! I'm currently trying Onion with entrust/voltech and famfrit as main magicite. Only had two trials so far but so far without kraken imperil I am not clearing the second berserk.
