    I've read stories of people crying to the facebook BF admins about certain things and them giving free stuff to either shut the person up or keep them happy. You could give that a shot? You could pretend to be all angry that the game said you acquired Memetes, but it didn't show up in your unit list.

    Glitched an honor summon this morning (not on purpose). Pulled some trash out and my connection was lost while it was trying to return to the summon screen so I still had the points left (didn't get the trash unit) and then pulled a Magress.

    Metal parades got changed up a bit. Instead of all Metal-type units (Dark types), you now get ghosts/kings/gods of all different elements to spawn. Kinda sucks if you were leveling up a bunch of dark units, but not too shabby now that all units have a shot at the same-type xp bonus.

    Dude, I got like 5 Gods today of different Elements out of 9 runs. Almost all Kings outside of that.

    Ugh... been burning through energy nonstop all day on the Totem quest and can't get a Dark totem to pop up. Wish they would just add a separate quest for Dark/Light totems already...

    After 8 runs today, and runs every Thursday for the past 5 weeks, I finally got my light totem.

    I thought I saw reference once to a special light/dark Oasis they put in the JP version as a special stage briefly, but I'm not actually sure if that's true or not.

    Unrelated to that, I feel like I can't keep up with the items I've been depending on in my runs. Fate and Paladin stones are always in precious short supply for me, and I have enough high cures to use, but nowhere near what I'd want to make more than the occasional Divine Light.

    I could probably use some upgrades to the sphere's I'm using, but I don't have the mats yet for a Muramasa and haven't snagged a Medulla Gem yet. So right now I'm outfitted with Holy Blades and a Mech Sword. Is there something I else I should be aiming for?

    Finally, do any of you set up anyone as a tank? I'm wondering if trying to consolidate the damage down to one summon is particularly helpful or not.

    What I really found helped with healing items is to max out the gathering spots in your town. At max level the stream will give you a few red drops per gathering session. Just makes it a little easier to make high cures and divines.

    Also if you can do the thunderbird fight in the third map of mistral, the boss will usually drop a few divine lights per run.

    I had thought about trying to make a "tank" before but unfortunately most characters will get burned down pretty fast if they get focused fire. So just keep doing arena and any frontier hunts that come out, as they give you some pretty decent orbs.

    Finally, beat the Cordelica map. The last boss wasn't really hard at all. Just inflicts a lot of def down and attack down so you just have to watch his damage. Some of the fights leading up to him were harder than him honestly. Glad to finally have that done. It was bugging me being stuck on it for so long at the Tower of Light, but I powered through it. That Tower of Light seems to be there as a roadblock. The damage ramps up there along with some hard fights, but it seemed easier on the two quest areas that came after.

    As for using a tank, I thought about doing that, but I think that having damage spread over your party than on one unit would be better. I could see even high def units getting killed in a single turn on some fights. The only way I could see it being useful was on a map where you have the elemental advantage and want to go all burst damage but with a high def unit.

    Once you get the Thief Bracer, farming whatever you need is a breeze. Equip it on your highest hit per turn unit and farm like crazy. I got 5 Muramasas this way in about two days with it equipped on my Douglas.

    As for spheres to use, the best ones come from Arena rewards and FH.

    Managed to get a couple of good rare units: 2 Rickels, Edea, 5* Lancia and the crown jewel of dark units: Kikuri (Anima). Still got a couple of stinkers, but I'm happy overall. Now I'm just a bit overwhelmed with all the units I want to level/evolve

    Had a very productive set of metal parades this morning... let me cap/evolve Merith to 3*, capped Amy at 4* (will evolve tomorrow) and capped Eltri at 80.

    I evolved Sefia yesterday and am leveling up her BB. Whenever I get to 7 or 8, I've got 2 light gods, 3 other gods, and 4 light kings to feed her. That's gonna feel quite good.

    There's an April Fools Vortex for today only, rewards a pretty good sphere.

    Burny's Soul Stone: Boosts Atk, Def, Rec, and max HP by 10%

    Edit: Might consider bringing some Holy Water.

    Sphere isn't too shabby either, though the event is a little glitched. You'll get the little popup for getting a bonus item, but it won't show the name of what you got. Need to go into your inventory to see the sphere.

    To be perfectly honest, I thought that was them trolling a bit and there was no reward. On top of that, I first suspected you saying you got a sphere was also an April Fool's gag.

    Naw, I grew out of April Fool's jokes in elementary school lol. I do find all the companies that do announcements or special events amusing though.

    So I'm seeing a reduced zel cost for fusing to a capped unit. Has that always been the case?

    I did have a small moment of curiosity when no sphere showed up, and I really thought it was a big troll. I wouldn't have minded much, considering what the circumstances were.

    It makes sense for the people who power level their characters to max and have lvl 1 bb. I'm guilty of it, my sefia has lvl 4 now just doing max lvl fusions
