Just created an R2 Bahamut, because NO REGRETS etc.

Plan on dropping a few mithril for refreshes for this phase because when's the next good opportunity for Summon Orbs?

100 gems got me a 4 star FF7 bracer, which is....better than the other stuff I've gotten from single draws lately?

More importantly, EXCALIPOOR!

JP apparently got a rather hilarious bonus battle with Gilgamesh today, too.

Captain K · « **Reply #2054 on:** April 01, 2016, 10:43:13 PM »

I got a free Rosetta Stone today, sweet!

So...after getting the single worst dungeon you can get in FF14 as my daily low level dungeon in Aurum Vale and wanting to hate myself, I throw 100 Gems at the new FF10-2 Banner...

...and get Auron's Riot Blade.

I think my luck has balanced out.

Shale · « **Reply #2056 on:** April 02, 2016, 02:20:03 AM »

I got Mage's Staff! Was really hoping for Riot Blade but hey, I've got two white mages in my go-to party, so that synergy won't go amiss.

Cotigo · « **Reply #2057 on:** April 02, 2016, 03:11:09 AM »

Man, if I had only kept my Excalipoor from the aniversary event, today I could have a 6* Excalipoor! Fuck my liiiiiiiiiiiife.

anyway

Knight BSSB banner.

I got Beatrix's BSSB, Steiner's SSB, and Basch's SSB.

Welp.

At this point I almost don't even need a hastega since I can field 3 people who can haste themselves via Burst.

Beatrix's Burst Mode also gives her a on-par-with-SG defense bonus.

I am the 1%.

I should be able to pull together another 50 mithril before the end of the event. Not interested in the Dragoon/Machinist banner all that much, currently debating if I go for the healer banner for that sweet, sweet Curaga-level medica or go for the FF5 banner. I don't need FF5 synergy, but Gilgamesh/Faris SSB would be sweet (even if Faris' relic would obsolete Ramza

), and Krile's hastega would make Mages usable again. Decisions.

Huh, my 100-gem pull -also- netted me a 5* (Jecht's Bandana)... That has to be some kinda RNG record for DL pulls?

Meeplelard · « **Reply #2059 on:** April 02, 2016, 06:01:24 AM »

If it's not a DL Record for 100 Gem pulls on a single banner, I don't know what is.

That said, curiously, which Soul Break is that? Jecht's ST Damage + 100% stun move?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #2060 on:** April 02, 2016, 06:29:50 AM »

That's the one. Not amazing, but basically free and now I have an ATK-boosting hat.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #2061 on:** April 02, 2016, 12:29:04 PM »

Eh, I'd argue it's pretty good frankly, since it is 100% dismissal off legitimate damage. yeah, not as good as, say, Zack's Air Strike which is MT 100% Dismissal, but shutting down an enemies turn can be handy in single target boss fights.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #2062 on:** April 02, 2016, 01:13:22 PM »

Well yeah I'm not gonna scoff at anything that makes the only good monk in the game more usable.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2063 on:** April 02, 2016, 01:46:51 PM »

Not to mention it's a pretty hot stat stick.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2064 on:** April 02, 2016, 08:09:04 PM »

FFX-2 Three Stooges: lol

Okay, more seriously, they went down in flames, this is the first Ultimate I've ever full-medaled. The fight's design is a pretty fun puzzle, but they forgot to crib up actual Ultimate-level RES. The setup:

L80 Yuna (Valduin R5, Devotion RM)
L65 Quistis (Firaja R4, Ruinga R4, Dr. Mog's Teachings RM)
L65 Y'shtola (Curaja R5, Protectga R2, Mako Might RM)
L80 Rinoa (Meteor R3, Dispel R4)
L65 Zidane (Blind Shell R4, Lifesiphon R4)

Lulu Focus RW

So, basically, the idea was to make Ormi's Draw Fire as irrelevant as possible while Zidane plugs in mastery target holes (Angel Wing Quake covered Slow, though she only applied it when only a near-dead Ormi remained). Blinding Logos early makes his biggest threat (Russian Roulette) more or less a joke, since it doesn't ignore evade, while Dispel shreds any hope Leblanc might've had at survivability. She lasted about four turns, and by the time she bit it, Logos was nearly folding and Ormi wasn't in much better shape. Fun fact: Yuna's summons were dealing over 8k damage -before- Focus. After it, even Quistis of the 142 base MAG -after- the mastery bonus from Red Scorpion could ram the cap with Firaja. Congrats, guys.

I'm trying the Nightmare now that orbfest proper is over, and I think I'm going to need to scratch this Liquid Flame run for the dumbest of reasons - not enough Ruin hones. Oy.

Comet is your friend.

Shale · « **Reply #2067 on:** April 02, 2016, 09:16:29 PM »

Don't even have it.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2068 on:** April 02, 2016, 10:08:28 PM »

It shouldn't be a hard craft for you, it's a 3*.

HOLY SHIT

100-GEM ULTIMA SWORD

50 MYTHRIL PULL NETS ME ANOTHER ULTIMA SWORD, PEACEMAKER AND TWO GENJI BLADES

I'M NOT EVEN PULLING ON THIS BANNER AGAIN

I GOT ALL I WANTED FROM IT

hinode · « **Reply #2070 on:** April 03, 2016, 02:17:00 AM »

Meanwhile all I got from 150 mythril were two Thor Hammers. orz

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #2071 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:00:38 AM »

Did an 11-pull on the banner, hoping and praying for anything but -yet another- Sentinel's Grimoire. Got Rinoa's Cardinal, bringing my SSB total to 6. I can't even field that many at once.

Cecil (x2), Tyro, Squall, Terra, Vanille, Rinoa for reference, giving me a nice mix of physical and magical and healing (and useless Tyro's, but at least it boosted his ATK+10!).

The only tools missing from my relic toolbox are:
A 5* Bow (still...)
Runic of some type (still...)
A Burst SB (probably gonna have to wait for the Festival for this one since all the upcoming ones are on otherwise terrible banners for me)
Reraise (Not a huge deal I guess? Easy to RW)
HotE for ATK-stacking (Too rare to pull for)
Scream (the big one... Since I actually really want this, I have roughly 0% chance of getting a native one... At least it's on the best banner ever. I may whale hard on this. If I don't show up to DLCon, you'll know why...)

Also, we're now officially where I started playing JP, so it'll be interesting to see how different the experience can be with such a disparate selection of relics and hones at this point.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #2072 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:01:52 AM »

I threw 115 Mithril and a bunch of gems at this and all I got was Steiner's Ultima Sword and Yuffie's Headband. Steiner's Ultima Sword I'm happy with since I could use a legitimate FF9 Synergy Weapon, but Yuffie's Headband...I already have *3* Medica's, one from FF7 at that, I'm not how excited I can get about another.

Scar · « **Reply #2073 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:05:15 AM »

Fuck phase 5

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #2074 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:22:45 AM »

I have Yuffie's headband in JP. It is amazing. It heals percentage-based on max HP, so it's never going to be obsolete nor rely on Yuffie's MND.

To top it all off, it insta-casts. It was actually the main thing I wanted from Banner 5... >.>;;
