Record Keeping Final Fantasy Record Keeper

[Cmdr_King]

I cleared out a couple lingering Elites from the last DU.  Two left, the stamina on one of them will be a refill, so I'll have to ponder whether to fire that, buy a shard at a more opportune time, or whatever.

Y'know, I feel like we just had an FFVI event.  Maybe I just think that because my dollar pulls keep dropping banner items on FFVI and at no other time.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

In comparison to the inevitable monthly FF7 event until they drop stupid sexy shirtless Sephiroth on us.

[Cmdr_King]

Dollar pull... Thief's Bracer.  My third, by which I mean whee, another 7 star armor.

Naturally, my other one is an FFVI Mystic Veil.  THe game really, really wants to dump FFVI gear on me.

[Cotigo]

FFVI is definitely the most common realm after FF7, and I have absolutely no problem with this.

Autobattle half of Scar Fanservice Event done, cleared some out of the latest DU as well.

The U++ fight looks like it is just begging me to imperil holy the entire bunch then whack them with Ramza's and Beatrix's BSSBs as much as I can. Probably toss in Terra with Alexander and Meteo and have my WM start the fight off with the Liberty Staff to buff erryone and watch the dolls just die.

I am excite.



Vrm vrm

[Meeplelard]

Despite FF6's relative commoness, I don't think we have any FF6 events after this one outside of the Opera one offhand.

I know we have like 2 FF9 Events (Short-haired Garnet, and Vivi's BSB), 3 FF10 (Braska, FF10-2 and Wedding Dress Yuna), and several FF8 events (Rinoa BSB, Selphie BSB, and Squall's OSB coming up), but they've been cutting back on FF6 ones a lot.

Which is annoying if only because FF6 characters are kind of behind on Soul Breaks.  Strago still lacks an SSB, and they only have 3 BSBs (Terra, Locke and Celes), I hope they have one in the next batch of events if only for that reason alone (that and hoping they put in Leo, but we all know they'll put in ? ? ? ? ? ? #2 first)


SPEAKING OF FF6 events, completed the event thus far...except for a Cid Mission where I removed Punishing Palm for the one spot I needed it...so that's 60 Stamina down the drain.  I'll do it next monday when the daily sucks anyway (possibly Sunday since I don't need EXP much.)

[Scar]

This game is not nice to me.

50 mithril 0 five stars on the figaro Bros banner.

I mean come the fuck on.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

22% chance. It's not terribly uncommon.

[Cotigo]

Guys you know what's great?

Guaranteed 5*s.

Plebs.

Edit Meeple is the Sir Will of the DL, there, I said it.

[Scar]

Counting the white mage lucky draw this is the 4th 50 draw with no 5 star items.

I'm cursed. I honestly think the game programs certain phones with better odds, because my success rate is possible poor compared to most others.

Man....fuck! It's so disparaging.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I got three straight no-5*s draw on FFT banner, at least one of them being full 3*s. RNG just RNGs. You got multiple four-5* draws on the first few Lucky Draws last year while I blanked three of them straight. The most manipulation one can do is just not drawing multiple times when you get a bad pull, since it's known to be sorta streaky, but otherwise? Even a year-long pulling history, given the game's scope, is actually a very small sample and frankly not representative of the odds. And, given the scope of the game, you will have wildly varying degrees of luck within the samples and one can and will go through most spectrums of it. The game is a psychological rollercoaster.

EDIT:

Guys you know what's great?

Tidus' OSSB.

Plebs.

[Scar]

Those pulls are ancient! I only remember current events.

Regardless, I'll keep pulling, but if I can't get kains relic in one of his two upcoming banners,I don't think I'll have much motivation to keep playing.

On the flip side, it's annoying that 3 and 4 star items are such shit. They haven't added new 4 star gear, so these pulls are the epitome of useless trash. I'm pretty sure I've collected and max honed most of the gear in the game.

So yeah.

The good news? I beat all the realm dungeons. So that's something!

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

You're chasing his SSB, right? The odds of you getting it per 11-pull on his banner are roughly 10.46%. Do keep in mind the odds just suck. People keep saying to not chase the dragon for a reason.

[Cotigo]

. The most manipulation one can do is just not drawing multiple times when you get a bad pull, since it's known to be sorta streaky

so what ur sayin' is i shoulda pulled on the kain banner right after pulling shout so i could rub it in scars face too and not just sir will's meeple's?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Yes. Though the bad streaks last a lot longer than the good ones.

[Grefter]

dick like an eggplant

[Cotigo]

its me

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

[Meeplelard]

Edit Meeple is the Sir Will of the DL, there, I said it.

Well, I won't deny I have been somewhat negative these days, and I should lighten up.

...which actually proves I'm not Sir Will since at least I recognize my negativity!  He just tells you to flip off because he's right, as though nothing is wrong.


That said, I got a pleasant surprise on the Daily Draw today, since it was a 3*!  ...I didn't say it would be USEFUL, just better than usual!

[Scar]

Speaking of useful...

Do the stamina gems in the choco store refresh the stamina bar if you buy a 5th one?

I've been holding off on buying those in hopes that they do.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

If you reach the 5th stamina shard on purchase, yes. So there's strategic reason to hold off on them.

[Meeplelard]

That's honestly the sole reason I haven't finished the current Dungeon Update content.  Holding off on a 4/5 Stamina shard and spending 10k Greens on Monday Night to get a quick recharge w/out Mithril helps plough through the Event content quicker without it interfering with Black Power Day.

That said, only works 5 times.  After that, need to spend 100k for the next 5 and I can't see myself spending 10 Major Orbs, or 50 Greater Orbs worth of greens for a stamina refresh, at least not with the Green rates we have now.

[Cotigo]

New SSB lucky draw, and they gave me 10 free mythril to celebrate the multiplayer open beta, decided to roll the bones even though a EQ fest is around the corner.

Raines' coat and Edge's katana. Hey, it's synergy I lack!

[Cmdr_King]

Bleh, finally took down Caius.  Discussion with Djinn suggested that I just wasn't working enough support in, so I went from my usual A team to a... weird setup.

Relevant XIII Synergy: Evil Pumpkin, keepsake knife, Vega 42s, Wyrmfang Rod, Physician's Staff, two armors

Locke (Valiant Strike) Dismissal/TreasureHunter's Raid
Leon (Hand of the Emperor) Indoor Spell/Banishing Blade
Tyro (SG) Saint's Cross/Fullbreak
Vanille (Oerba's Boon/Miracle Prayer) Shellga/Curaja
Fran (Shatterheart) Magic BD/Power BD
RW: Shout

Yes, Fran used my 5+ staff as a melee weapon.  Also had similar attack to Tyro using the Vega 42s.  Also was taking the place of Agrias using basically a weaker version of the same SB. 
Otherwise, HotE was another mitigation layer, so waiting for Oerba's Boon to put up protect was mostly safe.  Although worth noting, because Leon is still without MC2 , one run with mostly the same setup failed because he died before dispelling a Regen late in the fight, which let Caius live long enough for Shout to wear off at which piont I couldn't even OUTPACE said regen.  So he got that new HP  boost accessory from the event, which solved the problem handily.  Doubling down on attack buffs also proved vital because while I have a lot of XIII synergy most of it is ancient (or mage gear).  Also meant that Leon was adding that damage lost from not bringing a second SSB user.
but mostly the takeaway is that Caius lost because of the efforts of a bunny girl with 7000 damage staff thwacks.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

In JP: DeNA fucked up the SSB Lucky Draw by inserting normal character SBs and they closed it off temporarily. Cue giddy redditors scavenging for apology Mythril.

[Cotigo]

I wasn't actually affected (both my draws were SSBs) but I will gladly accept any apology mythril they wanna throw my way. >_>
