Keep getting crap cactaur rounds. EXP vortex is technically better unless you get 2-3.

[Jamison]

Between getting 2 (or even three) which happens enough of the time; and the current chances of great success, you do come out a decent amount ahead.

Just capped Chizuru from 1-80. It took 31 giant cactaurs (and one small). I had great success on three enhancements (14 giant cactuars total involved).

How is this true? If cactuar level averages ~1.5 (per reddit) at 30k, and every vortex ADV is 30k+bonus, it's not even close. Throw in the 50% or whatever "great" success at 1.5x multiplier and it's extra-not-close. Plus the lack of need to take somebody to carry you if you are lvling a lowbie back from lvl 1....

[Ayn]

Think Rain and Lassie are worth getting to 5* if I have the time? Or just focus on leveling the other people?

[Coren]

They both consistently make the character rankings in both the JPN and GBL, so yes, it's probably worth it. However there's only so many you can get in 3 days so I'm not likely to get all my characters to 80 anyway.

Yeah. Average 1.5 gigantaurs per run (45,000 exp) * 30% chance at great (1.5x) bonus (est.) = 45,000 * 1.15 = approx. 51,750 average exp per 15 stamina as opposed to ADV vortex's 30,000-31,500 per 15 stamina. This isn't counting Amazing Success chance either which I don't have any data or information on. Also there is the likelihood that Great Success chance is higher than 30%.

[Coren]

Taking the lvl 60's back to 1 is so... depressing. I'm just trying to get the 4* maxed units back to 5* lvl60, then go from there with what time i have left over the weekend. Assuming you can get 45k every 75 minutes (no sleeping for you!) plus the extra NRG from dailies, you'll have enough xp to get 2 characters from 1* to 5* and get another about halfway there. Now, that doesn't include the great or amazing success, but suffice to say you won't be getting every character maxed from this event (at least I won't be able to).

I've been trying to find info on this in the beginner's guide and other links but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone explain what the level numbers below a characters stats and the level number on abilities is all about? I've heard the word affinity but no idea how that applies here.

Emphasis on my crap luck. I get 1.5 makes it better, but I've had a dozen or more attempts today where it's only been the 1 at the end. Plus the EXP technically costs gold.

Wouldn't be so bad if the fodder were boosted appropriately as a sort of consolation and encouragement to bring people you're leveling, but their default rates just blow.

That's for equipping abilities

[Classikmage]

Ok, so as of tonight maxed characters are:

5* Fina
5* Garland
5* Exdeath
4* Krile
4* Kain
4* Edgar
4* Shanttoto
4* Rydia
4* Cyan

Probably going to finish Galuf off next since he's already 51. After that it's a choice between working up Penelo, Sabin, or Vivi to 4*..... or, working Rain/Laswell to 5*. Which set would be more beneficial to have capped?

[Koul]

I would get Vivi to 4 before any of those. Then Lasswell followed by Rain. Finishing off with Penelo and Sabin as they are close to being Shadow tier trash.

[Starby]

Rain gets Full Break at 6*. It's still far away though. Stick with Vivi for now

[Starby]

Complaining on the Internet worked(That or all the levels from the cactaur event)!

Frost Dragon down, coliseum cleared for now. Now to finish leveling my characters and start farming trusts and trophies I guess?

[Jinn]

Finally cleared up through the main story (I think?) My next place to go is GrandPort again after clearing the ruins. Anything triggers when you go there?

I somehow managed to unlock Shiva before Golem too -_- I completlty missed that guy in the desert... After I cleared everything I had to go look at a guide haha...

So now it's just Dailies, trophies for all that sweet sweet Lapis, and vortex?

I'm sitting on a ton of Friend points too, no idea what to do with them at the moment. My summons have capped at 99 for it xD

2nd Isle is the endpoint right now, your friend points are not capped at 99, its just the cap for the UI notification, if you look at the summon screen you'll notice it will still accumulate, and at this point, the things left to grind till new content is Colisseum (Intermediate S is the final stage atm), grinding levels, rank exp, hero ring accessories, trophies, and Limit Breaks.

[Ayn]

I'm actually running low on gil to level characters; had to unlock gil dungeon as my backup today just in case.

Right now I'll be happy if I can get my main team to 50's or 60's. The only one that needs to be awakened at this point is Kefka, and I think I can finish that today.

I know I don't have enough mats to upgrade Lassie to 4*, so might stockpile cactuars. Fucking Litrocks.

[Skai]

Already capped Vaan so my friends can go wild with that Full Break. Was set on capping Garland, Kuja, and Fina until I drew a Roselia. Hell yeah a good healer.

[Akiyama]

I've been running low on Gil too while mastering folks Trying to cap Kefka, then gonna work on cecil or Vaan next

I used your Vaan once Skai for full break to see how it was and man it's so good!

Just level 1* and 2* units and sell them, you get WAY more gil then wasting NRG on doing the gil dungeon, gil dungeon is NEVER worth doing since you get so little gil compared to the method I just mentioned. Maxed out 2* unit from FP summons is 15k iirc.
