    Oh.. ETA? Because -that- might make it worth waiting to pull.

    Also does it apply to each pull in an 11 pull?

    I'll be nice and quote what Julian said a couple of posts back

    I wouldn't bother doing any 11 pulls at all, though.

    Two things coming in 2 months:
    * Increase 5 star rate for every non 5-star pull (very noticeable, going 5 single pulls without a 5 star is pretty uncommon)
    * 5 star rate increase to 12%

    And in 3 months:
    * Every banner includes 4 character weapons, instead of just two. This effectively doubles your chance at a character weapon. (Similarly, the following soul break campaigns have 6 weapons, rather than 4.)

    All weapons will make reappearances in the future. If you can clear content right now, there is zero reason to do relic pulls.

    It should be about 2 months. Look for my posts a few pages back for details.

    From what I can tell, and from what my sources say, it's based on the act of pulling.

    So if you get 5 3 stars in a row, then do an 11 pull, you will have an increased rate on all 11 items, so you could get like 5 5stars.

    Alternatively, if you do an 11 pull, get a 5 star, then do another 11 pull.. That's a waste.

    11 pulls at that point are pretty wasteful. Single pulls only, can do a triple pull to take advantage of the above functionality, without throwing away a ton of mythril.

    Edit: derp.

    Once banners start getting 4 character weapons, they're almost all worth rolling on, unless you already have the gear, it straight up sucks, or you hate the character.

    The good news is, with these mechanics, you're very likely to get at least 1 of those 4 weapons spending about 20 mythril and maybe a 100 gem pull. (and that's about how much mythril you'll get between events.. Ish)

    10 single pulls you'll probably get 2 or 3.

    Is the 12% rate increase for specific 5* items or collective for all available? Like, right now for each banner it's a 1% chance to pull the 5* you want, how does that change later?

    The overall 10 increases to 12. Don't know how that effects each item, though.

    Most regular SBs suck.

    I keep failing to champion Glory to the Guados. Is it worth wasting all my time over for that 5* non elemental orb or should I just go back to doing elite dungeons?

    What's your setup? I just redid it earlier today using a Lunatic High RW to make sure I got Anima down before Oblivion.

    Tidus 65: Fencing Saber++, Thornlet, Hyper Wrist; R4 Double Cut, R5 Armor Break
    Wakka 65: Danjuro, Crystal Helm, Hyper Wrist; R5 Magic Break, R3 Power Break
    Squall 64: Revolver, Diamond Helm, Hyper Wrist; R4 Double Cut, R3 Mental Break
    Yuna 55: Light Staff, Crusader Mask ++, Touph Ring: R5 Curaga, R2 Carbuncle
    Vivi 64: Gravity Rod, Crusader Mask ++, Angel Wing; R2 Thundaja, R2 Break
    RW: Lunatic High

    I S/L'd until Yuna had an almost full ATB gauge to cast Carbuncle at start. Vivi Break, someone else LH, everyone else start attacking one of the Guado Guards. Kill guards, attack Seymour with just regular attacks and a mental break until he summons Anima. LH high when Anima is spawned if it's worn off and pound her with everything you've got. I tried to keep Yuna with a full ATB gauge so that when Anima dies she could immediately start summoning Carbuncle. From there just use whatever you have left on Seymour.

    Attacks do more damage when "Anima is gathering energy" or w/e the message says.

    Same exact setup but my levels are lower. Yuna is pre 50 and everyone else is mid 50s besides Tidus who is 60. I just keep taking too much damage and actions and end up costing me 4 medals.

    Yeah I lost 3 medals, 1 action and 2 damage. I'm not sure if there's anything else I can give you other than hone abilities higher? Obviously RS weapons and gear are limited for X so that doesn't help much. Maybe egg your guys a little higher if that's an option?

    Wouldn't a highly honed -ga work better? What was Vivi doing after those four casts (and the Breaks)?

    Yeah just doesn't seem worth it to me to do all that when I could be clearing leftover dungeons.

    Normally I'd say yes, but my R5 Blizzaga did not cut it. The 4 Thundaja got me through Anima, which is what I needed them for.

    You only need nukes for Anima. Seymour is so easy that you don't need any more (assuming you Break/Death the Guado).

    Anima is a timed fight, be able to cast 8 spells means nothing the boss does his move before

    So sometimes a move that deals more dmg in less cast is better

    Ran into a really surprising challenge doing elite dungeons. Nepto Temple in FF3. Hoards of 5 mobs who cast aoe spells all the time, wore my party down while I was doing auto battle >_>

    Done with basically all the elite dungeons under 60 difficulty, getting into the 70s where trash takes 3 attacks each. Rough.

    I'm still very new to this (play for about one month), but have a Fujin's Chakram, a One Winged Angel, two Zantetsukens, one Diamond Armor, one Genji Shield, one Golden Spear and a Flame Sword as 5* relics. Considering the last four were all earned on the same 11-relic draw, I guess luck was with me (judging from a lot of posts).

    Are any of these exceptional or anything? I noticed the Katana has a Sephiroth exclusive SB.
