    Anyway friends, need suggestions:

    I'm not sure where to progress with abilities from here as I stockpile orbs.

    Right now, the only "ja" I have is Firaja at R1. Right now, I believe I can create Waterja and Thundaja.

    Should I go on and make those, or should I prioritize getting Firaja at R2 when the fire orbs come out? Also, should I continue ranking up the ga line, or at least push comet past rank 2 (it seems like a good all purpose spell that's served me well).

    I'm also wondering what I should do in terms of Breakdowns. The only real support character I have leveled is..well, Tyro. I have Physical and Armor Breakdown at R1.

    Any help is appreciated. I may have mentioned this pages back, but my only leveled mages are Terra (capped at 50), Lulu (50) as BLMs, and Vanille as a WHM at 56ish.
    If youre aiming for ExDeath misfortune event, I would say Fire/Ice/Thunder -ja spells. If not, Waterja is a huge multipurpose strong utility spell with very few resistances.

    You can work on -ga spells while doing -ja, they dont have to be exclusive (as I've had to teach myself). Comet is situational imho, and can honestly count the times ive ran it on one hand out of necessity. I only have 1 copy of Fire/Bliz/Thun/Water/Bioga at R4. Havnt had a need to hone a second set yet.

    I think the consensus is Steal Power >>>>>> Power Breakdown. Magic Breakdown would serve you longer going forward, then Mental/Armor on preference (I did armor first, because I normally run melee heavy groups). Mental Break/Down is also the only way to bump Diara/Diaga damage, which should also be a target as Holy is a pretty good all around element to have around.

    To be honest if things don't change for Phase 2 (exp buff) I'm not gonna bother that much. As it is this Festival is barely better than the newest dailies and I'd rather get these dungeons out of the way before the banners drop.

    Edit:And new abilities:

    Memento of Prayer is a 3* WHM that gives party-wide regen, like Kirin.

    Memento of Might is a 3* Monk that boosts self attack by 30%. Punishing Palm without the damage.

    Lightning is a 2* AOE Thunder.

    Memento of Protection + 50% Def/Res to one ally. 3* Knight.

    Could help newer players.

    The best thing about these dungeons are increased greater orbs from (+) dungeons. Right now I've gotten more black orbs/greater blacks than the dailies give me for the same stamina.

    I don't really care if they fix the EXP or not. I'm now in the honing abilities camp, since I see the value honing them has and the difference it makes in longer fights.

    I'm kinda feeling the same way. Feel like I have enough orbs from the last orb fest and don't want to spend any mythril on refreshes.

    And from what I can see, my best bet for combination of thief and support ability is. . Vaan. Sigh. I really didn't want to use shirtless wonder.

    Thanks for the tips, Kirin. I think all of my ga stuff (save water, which is R3) is R2, so I can work on getting those R3 or R4, at least, while getting some jas in there.

    I'm not seeing any increase to be honest. Normal enemies in + dailies drop Greater orbs, here they don't. I'm also having terrible luck with Cactuars dropping 3* almost all the time and I haven't seen a Major yet.
    And I'm still sitting on tons of Greater Orbs from the last one, don't really need that many (being on daily farm mode because I'm done with everything else helps).

    The Festival+ is about 50% better than the daily+ in terms of 4* orbs:

    Factoring conversion, I'm sitting on nearly the equivalent of ~660 GBOs and ~900 GPOs, and I still plan on farming the festival for the next two weeks. Yes, I'm a hoarder.

    Looks like Kuja is a new top tier BLM. White,Black and Darkness 5 and only 5 points of MAG from the highest magic characters like Vivi but more HP, DEF and Speed.

    I'm getting an average of 1 4 or 5* per 20 stamina in the new +

    While daily +'gives me like 5 per day

    I switched to doing + after doing Heroic all yesterday. Most I see so far ( too early to actually tell I suppose ) is 2~ cactuars per 60 stamina.

    Darkmoon = Damage + Silencega

    They added a few new things...

    Regenga 3* WHM
    Protect 3* KNT
    Boost 3* MNK
    Lightning aoe 2* BLM

    Basically. Kirin is now useless.

    I've been running Seph + Retaliate + Loner and I get an average of 1 Cactuar per 20. The drop rate on (+) seems way better than heroic.

    8 people used my Boon yesterday. I assume everyone is spamming mythril for refreshes.

    The WHM regenga seems useful for PLD Cecil. No need to bring an extra SMN just for Kirin anymore.

    I wouldn't say Kirin is useless; it's just the same ability for WHM, but a lot of WHMs could already use 2* SMNs anyway.

    Right, except now I can equip that on hybrids that couldn't use Summons and free up that spot for something else.

    Well on the flip side of that, using Kirin + damage summon or AoE regen + damage or cure spell also now allows you to be uniform in materia selection instead of choosing Kirin + white magic.

    I've had 1 Major Lightning drop. I didn't get too many last fest either so as long as I can get the last 7 GBOs I need to hone Firaga to R4 and create & hone Blizzaja to R4 then I'll be happy.

    Majors were never going to rain. I think I got maybe 5 during the last fest without refreshing at all.
