Record Keeping Final Fantasy Record Keeper

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Did the second-to-last Elite stage of Autobattle On The Big Bridge, in which Gilgamesh countered himself to death through Draw Fire Advantaliate shenanigans for 7.5k a pop. This game is silly.

EDIT: I found this while randomly reading back on the WGAYP topic and wanted to keep it handy.

(I'll probably need it in the future)

FFRK:
11 relic pulls.

the best part is how halfassed the sprite editing is

I've been rocking MSPaint longer than MSPaint Adventures.

Autobattle On The Big Bridge finished until Saturday, when they release the bonus fights. Meanwhile, I'm cleaning up the remaining update dungeons. Just Phoenix Cave and Gaea's Cliff left.

On a more hilarious note, they released Vincent in JP and he has the -most amazing- spread. Decent ATK! Good MAG! Absolutely no skills to use his ATK with because he runs off Black Magic 5* and Summon 4*! Literally core-level across the board durability with low-tier mage HP, sub-Vivi defense and sub-Fran res! At least he gets Rods and Staves, so he's offensively usable, but wow, he makes pre-buff Gordon look like a sentinel.

Annnnd done with DU13. The fights were shockingly easy, I managed to master all of them first try running Lenna/Bartz/Gilgamesh (who are frankly underlevelled for current Elite story dungeons), except for Cultists' Tower II, where I ran Garnet instead of Lenna because Carbuncle near-completely trivializes its trash. Ran Kirin instead of Curaga due to that as well (and still mastered first attempt with little fuss). I guess I'll farm Greater Holy Orbs for the rest of the day, then.

I'm getting caught up on ff5 elite stages.

Just beat the sand worm.

Buttz is lv capped. Gilgi  is 40.

Hope at lv 53 for random blm in party.

Not having good gear for ff5 is making this a slower process then what it should be.

All things considered, this is surprisingly accurate for Vincent, just FF7 is a game where stat deviations weren't huge, so this is a more extreme version of his build...though the strength and Res would need to be swapped (to be fair Vincent is a better fighter than you'd think at first glance due to 255% accuracy weapons + Deathblow combo, albeit still leagues behind Tifa's nonsense)

Still, I'm actually glad they went the route of making Vincent a Mage since it showed they actually did their homework.  I was so expecting "yet another Support Gunner" because of stereotyping.  I don't even care about Vincent, but it does help solidify they're at least TRYING to capture the characters accurately to some degree...

...though Shadow really needs to get Thief skillset.  Kind of insulting they went "We need to buff him!" and then just gave him +2 Strength even though his skillset is clearly way less inspired than other Ninjas, and decided to give Yuffie Dancer 4.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

It's just really funny to me that they made him the ur-glass cannon (though yeah, he -is- game-worst durability in FF7 and he -is- a mage in that game, so it fits). It feels like they considered giving him Combat 4, even, and then decided against it because they didn't want a Lifesiphon mage. Really wonder what will they do with Cait Sith at this juncture.

[Cmdr_King]

Bard 5, Dance 5, Black/White/Summon/Support 2, can use Instruments and all 'Unique' weapon types, default SB causes Frog to all targets.

[Veryslightlymad]

He'll have machinery to some degree.

[Meeplelard]

I wouldn't assume he does.  FF7 already has 2 Machinist characters (Cid and Barret), and Cait Sith doesn't really do much in the way of machines in FF7, where as Cid was the team mechanic and Barret has a machine gun grafted on his arm. 

That said, I beat Gilgamesh no less than 6 times since the event dropped.  Yeah, as timing would have it, I just got to that exact area in the Dungeon Updates, completed the main part of the event and moved onto the dungeon.  Didn't do Elite yet, will wait for after Sunday at least when Bartz/Gilgamesh get a bunch of levels, making that a lot easier; I want Vivi's Memory Crystal after all.

[Captain K]

Taking it easy now, did the equipment daily a few times so I could maximize the size of my rod.

With synergy, I wouldn't be surprised if Cap broke 400 MAG on Vivi.

Try 453.

Lilith Rod goes from 121+3 magic to 235+5 with synergy.

===============

I neglected to complain about PC Gilgamesh yet.  He should be able to equip weapons in his armor and accessory slots.  And his default SB should be Excalipoor and do 1 damage.

[Cotigo]

Second 11 pull of the week yeilded Relm's cat hood, a second Oath Veil, my 4th FF12 Diamond Sword and a second FF5 Hypno Crown. Pretty damn good. I'm pretty sure the two 4*++ Swords and whatnot makes FF12 my 3rd best realm synergy after 6 and 7 now.

I have so many hats. I went from no hats to all the hats in one week. Is good.

Debating gathering mythril for one final 3 pull before the FF6 banner ends because fanboyism, but I should probably get Relm battle ready during the Sundayly. I'd also like to get Richard to 50 finally so I can stop using him.

EDIT: Wooow. Or I could screw up and combine all the swords together to make only 1 4++ sword. That was really dumb, Zenny. I blame the Saturday hangover.

[Captain K]

Zenny your sword is so huge.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Currently farming Greater NE and Ice Orbs. Today's achievement was honing Magic Breakdown to R4.

[Cotigo]

Blew eggs over Richard, beat Elite Belias XII, got his record materia and will never use him again. Good organ bank, bad character.

Did the Vincent event up through the ++ battle, nothing too hard. Had to reset 3 times against the Turks because I ran out of silence buster charges trying to silence Rude. Admittedly, one of them was me misreading the mastery conditions and trying to Sleep Rude and Silence Elena, but whatevs. Zack's level broken.

I already have 11 more mythril thanks to the revamped quest system (you get 5 mythril back for doing a pull), so I'll probably go ahead and run dungeons tonight then spend all day tomorrow levelling Zack, Relm, and Ramza to 80 and Shit-brat to 65 for his sweet, sweet Dr. Mog organ. Neither Reno nor Vincent have organs I want or interest me all that much so they're probably never going to see the light of day again. Reno's RM2 could be good (Rod Equipped, BM damage 1.2x) but is strictly worse than Doublecast BM for bosses and Mana font for dungeons. Vincent's RM2 would be fine if I had any guns but nope.

[Captain K]

Beat the Boss Rush.  Highlight was Galuf making Archeoavis his bitch with Silence Buster and Pressure Point.

++ fight took some resets because Flash shared SB kept missing.

Tried the +++ fight but I didn't have the right setup for it.  Going to need a second white mage.  Barriers aren't bad with Shellga and 8600 damage Ruingas.  But Necrophobe himself has strong ranged physical attacks, so Protectga will be needed.

Oh but I forgot the most important bit of news:

ALL QUESTS COMPLETE.  I got me some Flare Strike baybee!

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Bonuses for Autobattle On The Big Bridge completed. Highlights:

- Boss rush kinda sucks. It's so centered on inaccurate gravity stuff that it forgets actual offense outside Archeoavis. Full-medaled.
- Gilgamesh/Enkidu battle is kind of a pain if he decides spamming Death Claw is a good idea. Lenna got hit by it once, but was never targetted afterwards, so she managed to make a recover. I brought Blindga for simplicity instead of Dark Buster.
- I went YOLO for Necrophobe and full-medaled the run due to it. Carbuncle => MT blitz from hell => bumrush Necrophobe because his offense is really dangerous without dual mitigation layers. R2 Meteor and R3 Valefor paid off big time here.

Today, as usual, is XP grindans for my party. Hope's now level-capped again. Brought out the Marias for my black mage filler spot.

[Captain K]

And just in time for me to finish all my quests, DeNa throws in limited-time quests.

Check your Bonus quests *and* Event quests for the next three days.  There are one day-only quests on each day.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Yup. Did them before going to proper Sundailying. Thanks for the free Mythril.

[Cotigo]

Hahahahaha.

The new Calamity Plus fight is 1 stamina. That is for some reason the most ominous thing they could have done with the fight.

Also the new 7 banner has Zack's ssb weapon out. May toss 15 mythril that way later this week but since  I don't really care and I'm coming toward the end of the story dungeons soon I feel like I should hold off on using 50 on this one.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Horror stories on reddit point to Calamity Rufus and Dark Nation (!!!) spamming four-digit MT physical damage -post-mitigation-. Have a fun.

Already cleaned out today's flash quests for Mythril, a Greater Growth Egg and pointless upmats. I'm just saving stamina for farming Greater Black Orbs on Ultima Weapon 1 Elite as of now. On unrelated news, Lenna finally broke past the 3k HP barrier at L57.

EDIT: So, seems like the GBO drop rate on Ultima Weapon's actually pretty good. Four runs, two orbs for relatively little effort. Nice thing to remember while farming on the off lull day. In other news, I now have R3 Blizzaja.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Man, I still haven't even crafted Blizzaja.

Got a 5-star light armor from the FF5 banner with an MT Blind Soul Break. Is this going to be useful for the bonus fights?
