Record Keeping Final Fantasy Record Keeper

My current strat: Run Wakka/Terra/Sephiroth/Butz/Selphie, stack Status Reels+Magitek Missiles+Black Materia. I'll egg up Kefka and give him what remaining spells I have and try Kefka/Terra/Sephiroth/Wakka/Selphie too.

I need all my mythril to be betrayed by SSBfest so no more drill hope

[Grefter]

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Done with main battles on Kefka event. Highlight: stacking Focus, Mana's Paean and Mental Breakdown on Inferno for a 29k Havoc Wing.

[Shale]

Poor Life Choices: No 5 star pulls, but a bunch of duplicate 4s that I was able to combine into some new 4+'s, and one 4++.

Also, I just found out that you only have to max one of the items to be combined, instead of both. That's a lot of upmats I wasted.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Beat Ultimate Vossler! Let it go this long because work and life are more important than an iphone game (sometimes). Squeeked Mastery out despite Vossler getting cheeky and Quadra-slicing my Yuna to death once he hit <10%. Advantaliated my way to victory again, despite it being probably the least efficient strategy for this fight among any fight in the game. But it's the principal of it. Reddit keeps telling me Advantaliate won't work, and I'm spiteful of Reddit.

Terra event! Yay! 50-mythril pull netted me a Burning Glove and Kefka's motherfuckin' Flute! Suck it, Zenny. That also rounds out my FF6 synergy with a 5* mage weapon finally. And the Burning Glove's fire-damage boosting is gonna roll some fights combined with the fire-boosting 5* Armlet I have and a Firaga Strike-user (Zack, I guess?). Sabin can also make use of it with his SB that I have but not sure it needs a 40% damage boost to hit cap, especially in FF6 realms.

Still no Terra relics. I have 88 more mythril and I may do another pull before the banner's over depending on what's coming up in the next few weeks. Probably not though. Two 5-stars that are actually useful is a good place to stop, and Terra's SSB should be coming back soon enough IIRC.

[Meeplelard]

First off, I will say I spent more moeny on this banner than I'm willing to admit, but it did NOT Exceed 3 digits...not even close!  Still, it's something I'm a bit embarassed by but all 4 Character Relics are something I really want.  I have 200 Mithril going into this but not spending it all on this event...just 3 11 pulls worth!

First off, 100 Gem pull...nets me garbage.  Expected!

So first 11 pull?  Gets me Edgar's Drill, and another Assassin's Knife (so I can get 5++* Item).  Ok, Drill's one of those items, and a dagger as strong as Assassin's Knife means every character in the game gets SOMETHING worthwhile even if Keepsake Knife probably will probably see more use just because of Protectga.

2nd 11 pull? Gets me Gaia Gear and...ANOTHER ASSASSIN"S KNIFE!?  THE **** GAME!  2 Darts was bad enough!  *shakes fist*

3rd 11 pull gets me 3 5* Items.  One is an FF10 sword I don't recognize except that it has the ugly yellow design.  I'm thinking that's a cool Tidus Soul Break ma-...no, it's a generic 5* Sword.  Bah.  I think it's stronger than Brotherhood at least, so not a total loss and FF10 Synergy IS useful, even if I have plenty of it.  Then I get a Thief's Bracer?  Ok, banner item with generic soul break, fair enough!  Then I get...some FF12 Robe...well that would have been useful ONE EVENT AGO!!!

I'm now upset, wait a day, and go "Screwit, I WANT ONE OF THOSE OTHER ITEMS! EDGAR'S DRILL ISN'T ENOUGH!"  I do a few more pulls, not saying how many.  What do I get?  ANother Thief's Bracer and Gaia Gear, ok, that's becoming a 6*, no 4* I can make use of, worthless 3* and...Maduin's Horn.

Well crap I...wait, Maduin's Horn?  Ok, I can say it was worth it...well, no, I just spent more money on a game for a freaking in-game item but SCREW YOU TOO!

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

DJ: Maduin's Horn is almost guaranteed to reappear on the SSBreakfast in March and it's absolutely guaranteed to reappear on Relm's second banner, which is overall pretty spectacular. Quitting while you're ahead isn't bad strategy.

[Meeplelard]

I kept telling myself that but still broke down.  Now granted, I also wanted the Holy Lance which sounds like it's not reappearing ever (though, they may put it on the Celebration Banners, since they tend to change those, the only things confirmed are the featured ones), and Kefka's Lamia's flute which may be on the celebration banners but not confident, so it wasn't like I was pulling ONLY for that.  On the flipside, I already got Edgar's Drill...

I got what I wanted so I can't say I regret doing this, but yeah, I am sucker.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I've gone off the deep end before (god, the FF14 event) and the feeling's just ugly. I had to set a hard limit on my pulls after it.

[Captain K]

I may not have been beating Ultimate bosses lately but I can still hold being totally free to play over the rest of your heads.   

[Cotigo]

Tbh cap from past comments you've made your not beating Ult bosses has more to do with the classes you prioritize than being F2P. Ditch your monks for supports and start winnin, bro

Also yes guys come on don't spend money on this game. Just devote every waking second of your thought processes and time to it. Much better.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

It's also that he doesn't find the stress worth it.

[Cotigo]

But how else will you get 6 star mats for skills that actually really suck?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

We haven't even gotten to that point yet!

[Cotigo]

What do you guys even get for beating Ultimates, then? The 5* accessory and some Major orbs?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Yes. You started attempting Ultimates at the exact event the rewards switched around due to the introduction of the Abyss (AC Cloud).

[Cotigo]

Huh, I guess I wasn't actually that far behind in collecting materials for Ultima anyway. Good thing,too, because I got to see how much it sucked before I decided to not bother. May still get Smash Down or the support one, though.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

It's honestly weird to reach the point at which you restarted the game for serious. Getting to stomp the Terra MC2 fight where you spent a bunch of Mythril to clear with one clown standing because you were massively underpowered for it will certainly trigger a chuckle or two.

EDIT: It's also vaguely gross to look at how far the game went from the beginning when we were doing shit like farming Vanille's event for ages in hopes of picking up a copy of Thundaja. God, it's been almost a year.

[Cotigo]

Yeah, he wasn't even the +++ fight, as I recall.

Also, now I get to rage as every single one of you fuckers gets some combination of Heal, Scream, and Agrias' Soul Breaks. I really wish I had done more than one pull on that banner way back when.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

oh please what are the odds of that happening

* Jo'ou Ranbu ignores how half of us have the full Wall/Hastega/AoE healing trinity.

[Captain K]

I actually don't use monks against ultimates.  Main thing holding me back seems to be lack of hastega.  I have enough damage to kill Vossler, but he gets so many actions while I'm charging SBs.  I'm close to beating him though, had him down to literally no pixels left before he wiped my party.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Grefter, I'd just give up.

[Nephrite]

Prince doesn't approve of gambling, clearly.

[Cotigo]

Grefter "I stopped playing MMOs and am now better than you" Grefinsky.

In other news Rinoa has a BSSB coming. I don't care! Except my FF8 synergy is shit so I may pull on that banner, but meh. Lord knows there's gonna be an FFT banner just around the bend where Ramza's BSSB boosts all allies' offensive stats by 50% and each Burst attack has a chance of inflicting 3 different statuses each so I'll probably save my mythril, even though my FF8 synergy is literally Irvine's gun and an Ochus' tentacle. Not that I'll get it, but it's the principle of gambling. Go big or go home.

Grefter went home.

Will you go big?

Who is the big man. I'm the big man. It's me.
