    Is there a Ranger Fire ability that comes out in Ch.3? Or even one that exists now and I haven't noticed? I pulled Hunter from the job summon and I like it a lot. The only thing I hate about it is that it switches the earth orbs from the normal ranger to fire.

    To be fair, ranger don't really have an Earth ability to speak of as-is. Only the golem one which costs 8 orbs and is AoE and a pain to upgradre.

    Ok, so, I got my Mighty Golem to 3*. Went back into the augment menu to see what I should do next. Looks like Mighty Golem can't go any higher than 3* because it doesn't light up as an option I can choose. And obviously it's not 3*+, just 3*.

    I was looking at some other abilities that are already 3* and they all need something called Growstars to upgrade to 4*. I have one, but that's it. Where do I farm those?

    Pretty sure you can't. There's one in the monthly gift box and maybe more will come from events/future story updates.

    Reminder two days until PuPu event starts and it ends on september 16. Along with the event we also get Dark Knight, Thief, and Black Mage added to the job shop, you can also buy a limited time echo swimsuit.

    Ice - Imperial Lich; excessively difficult to farm to the point where it isn't worth it

    Wind - There are no wind warrior cards atm


    Knight
    Shares Fire and Wind

    Earth - Jormungand, Onion Knight; Only reliably farmable ones since the mobs are trash and all the materials drop in the game. Pain in the ass still cause it takes an Arena-only boss rare drop but still better than Lich
    Is buying another card to upgrade not more efficient than buying max ability cards? Yeah lich farming sounds like it sucks but fyi you can at least increase card drop rates by changing to hard difficulty. Honestly the best thing to do is just chill and wait for the next chapter since a few things will be resolved with it. You should consider leveling support cards, you can get lesser drain from the north part of cactuar land I heard its pretty good when augmented to 3*.

    Yeah some jp people on reddit said you only get it through events and log in rewards, right now on jp side it's harder to augment 3* to 4* than a 4* to 5* so really think it through if you want to augment a 3* card.

    I suspect there will be a Titan card eventually that'll serve as the true version of the ability. Otherwise, yeah, until that happens, it's more or less a placeholder for Ranger's earth slot.

    On this picture, what does the rainbow hexagon next to x1.5 mean near the difficulty? And what about the little bomb to the left, does that ever change or just a general 'enemy' tag?

    The rainbow hexagon is a skill seedbonus.

    Also, I remember in the JP Version, the WAR class could draw Rainbow energy (I think as a possible "refund" when using cards), useable for any Element, including healing... What specific trait/job does that cause I haven't seen it on my WAR yet, and I'm sure its linked to a weapon or ability I haven't unlocked yet because I can't read JP I can't be certain.

    Mage seems the way to go for now, at least as far as abilities are concerned. There's no Lesser Fire cards though right? Can only upgrade Ice/wind I think (without buying multiple Kirins/Ifrita that is).

    Do cards also randomly get an exp bonus after a fight? I just finished a random boss and noticed only one of my cards had a exp x2.4 above its exp bar.

    Pretty sure they all do and its based on your level level, not deck level.

    EXP bonus comes from the card being in the first slot of your deck

    I was really hoping that wasn't the case from the layout of it all and it being linked to your level.

    Sucks to suck.

    I drew a WHM card. I hate it.

    Yeah WHM is terrible right now. I just unlocked it through the basic mage job and switching wind for earth (on top of less damage) is not a good deal imo. Stone spells will be farmable in Chapter 3

    They said they're trying to release it next month. Same for multiplayer apparently.
