Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius (Smartphones)

[Robertfb]

New trophy rewards were released for jp and the highest one needs 70 trophies. It's "+30% Hp & Mp as well as +50% Atk, Def, Mag and Spr" accessory.

The recipie needs 3 hero's rings apparently. orz

Good, gives us all a new goal to grind since it'll be a long ways away till we get that.

asdfsdafasfa wow. well, that's a grind lol. worth it, but geez...

The worst part is going to be the 70 trophies, thats pretty close to needing all done. Won't be too hard for those who start early, but for newer players when it gets nearer to release, it'll be a extremely lofty goal.

Someone on reddit was saying also that there's a better ice megacryst dungeon in the future

Someone on reddit mentioned that there's a better ice megacryst dungeon in the future. I'm pretty happy about that.

Even starting now, that many trophies blows. We currently have 63, with another 12 or something coming with the PvP shit (IIRC). So you'll be able to skip on 5 total. Some of these are damn near impossible (10,000 colosseum wins, at about 20 per day, is still going to take a year and a half). You can basically write off the top 2 colosseum ones (10k participation and 10k wins) as well as the top 2 arena ones (same 10k requirement). That means you NEED to have the 300k point colosseum one done before arena drops (because they share orbs). So you'll need to do every other trophy except the 300k points in arena, and the 4 I just mentioned.

The other extremely tedious ones are:
10k espers summoned - grab rydia and take her with you doing expeditions; spam espers at every opportunity. Make use of entrust as often as possible.
1000 equipment forged - crappy dagger still takes 15 copper; 15k copper fml
1000 abilities - one of the base spells (fire, ice
1000 items - potions or shuriken

slightly less tedious
10k items used - buy a shitton of the cheapest items (potions, echo drops, antidotes, etc). You can use up to 100 items per run.
10k abilities - get 5 characters with a cheap "store" type of ability, spam until 00mp, rinse repeat
10k magic - 5 healers spamming cure

The friend points are the other irritating one. I'm at 50 friends now, but I guess I'll need to bump that a bit to hurry this up. 1 mil points is a shitload. This is easier when you have a good character to share (chi at 300atk, kefka at 250, etc).
So get crackin'!

I've been playing this game but I feel like I've been doing nothing but grinding and now it looks like there's even more grinding later. Colo in particular has been wearing me out. What's the upcoming content supposed to be like? Is it grinding from here to eternity?

[Coren]

It's an RPG. That means grinding, and more grinding. There is more content to come. There is much more story to come, more espers, more items, more characters, vortexes, trials, etc on the to-do list. But players always burn through content faster than devs can make it, so it's not quite fair to complain just yet, 3 weeks in.

[Yuri-G]

auto-battle is your friend. the grind for me at this point is like, 30 seconds per hour?


but then again I don't care about maxing out equipment or espers or getting hero rings... yet.

Just to elaborate a little more. For the 1k crafted equipment its better to make Leather Whips/Shields/Hats or Staves/Boomerangs, which are 3 thick hides or 3 lumber each. The copper ore should be going towards shurikens because they are 1 ore each. Also, Superior Blade is something like 135 copper ore once Lands of Plenty rolls around again. The only advantage potions have is a one minute craft compared to five and I guess being able to use they for part of the 10k items used. For the 10k espers summoned, Garnet has the same LB as Rydia if you happen to pull her in the future, or have both.

Man, and here I was hoping I could ignore the arena once I finished INT-S. The 3 battle cap is a pain, and honestly runs counter to the energy system once you get 36+. Oh well. Can't see myself getting that 70 req anytime soon, but I also suspect it's there solely to tempt the whales.

Hero Ring farming technically isn't bad if you don't care about EXP. Just slap the charm bangle on then run to each area's 3 nodes. Probably still looking at about 5m per run, but I do understand explorations feeling more drawn out.

I have to admit I'm feeling "grinded-out" far earlier in this game than I have in others. Still going to stick with it but I'm probably not going to obsess like I usually do.

That's what I'm wondering about, future content, since we sort of know what's coming from JP content. I haven't been able to read through most of what to expect yet. But the wide variety of repeating content is getting to me (energy battles, colo, exploration). Auto battle and repeat help but it's like all of the grindiest parts of chain chronicle came together at once.

Ok, I just got Ifrit to 30 but I don't see how to Awaken him to 2*? What am I missing?

Go back to his area and fight him again

[Starby]

I started doing Dalnakya Cavern - Demon's Lair for my trust farming. There's enough mobs that if I single target them, I can get 2 summons off per run. Plus
10-15 limit breaks.

I have the items, ability, and spell trophies already.

It's just a grind. I wish I could set up nox to know when someone had lb or a summon ready and just walk away with a script running. This game needs Spellcast.

[Diomer]

Used my daily summon ticket I got today hoping for Locke (to be able to eventually put Rising Sun on my CoD) and.... got a 4* Locke... feels good man.

[Coren]

Wanted at least one Hayato. Ended up with Fran, galuf, chizuru, 2 lockes, and a couple bullshit pulls. Ugh.

[Robertfb]

Decided to throw a ticket at this since I like Locke and got an Artemios, neat. At least its a decent DD till 6* arrives.

[Classikmage]

Wow, 2* Ifrit fight was a joke. He was easier than Demon Chimaera.
