Anybody have a decent win rate against Swift? I always end up below 50%.

[HitomeOfBismarck]

Is there a list anywhere of which 3-5 star cards are the easiest to obtain, as in the least shit drop rates? It's clear by now that they aren't all the same and I just want to hit 60. I don't care about getting Gaius for example.

The cards I lack from NPCs are:

Raubahn Aldynn
Alphinaud & Alisaie
Ifrit
Hildibrand & Nashu Mhakaracca
Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn
Garuda
Cid Garlond (can't challenge) try to get this from a gold pack
Bahamut
Odin
Minfilia
Gaius van Baelsar
Louisoix Leveilleur

And the same for trial/dungeon exclusives? I only have Tonberry from that list.

I am 15 away from 60 though.

Aim for the bolded ones. Try not to duel Swift. He's a pain in the ass. Gaius will take you a while if you decide to duel Indolent Imperial. I gave up and just got mine from Praetorium after trying for 3 days. The good news is I had around 100k from the dueling to buy a lot of gold packs which got me Cid (I also couldn't challenge the NPC).

As was mentioned earlier, use this website:

Has an awesome NPC list with exact locations, cards they use in their decks, and their rule set.

what are peoples experiences with drop rates in the dungeons? i'm having horrible luck, started farming the lvl 50 ones starting yesterday with only one card so far to show for it

[Niiro]

I got all of my dungeon cards within 5-7 attempts.

I don't know if the drop rate varies between normal and HM dungeons, but I went 1/1 on normal Sastasha and got my Tonberry from my first regular WP (had done numerous WP HMs prior).

About 90% so far IME. Ran about 10 dungeons and came out with cards in all of them except one.

[Arthars]

well i went 1/8 on siren card

wife was spamming pharos for ZW item and got 7 cards in 7 runs so.......

[Shaano]

If you're me, your drop rates are horrid. Everyone else will finish before etc~ 8 hours got Bartz/Terra, still missing king mog in 100+ moogle runs. Need 2 rares from gold packs but all are done otherwise e.e

Spoiler: show

jk got mog after bitching

[Arthars]

bitching always work in here and complaint thread

[Icarian]

]You have 70 cards and still missing king mog?

Then I think I'm missing one



I should only be missing the gold pack rares (zidane/warrior of light) and the tournament/achievements ones, which I most likely will never get.

EDIT: Just realized I'm missing behemoth, probably sold the card without realizing because I swear I got that card from the NPC in Coerthas.

[Adajer]

Just got my WoL after like 20+ gold packs :D

Still trying to figure out these roulette matches. Andi Still havent tried any tournament matches

[Deadgye]

Still haven't gotten Lahabrea after at least like 40-50 silver packs.

[Sepukku]

About 90% so far IME. Ran about 10 dungeons and came out with cards in all of them except one.

Conversely I haven't seen a single card drop yet for me since TT came out; probably 20-40 card-dropping duties.

[Niiro]

Can't really lump all duties together, Trials have a much, much lower drop rate than dungeons.

[Sephiroth]

I've probably ran about 5 Pharos, 4 AKs and 4 Sastasha HMs since the patch with no drops. I did get 1/1 on WP but the rest seem fruitless. I also had to endure a Praetorium on Friday where I as BLM almost had as much HP as both tanks combined. After that 40 min run I decided not to try it again.

[Kirbyprime]

Running prae as tank is a lot more bearable. DPS requirements are low to begin with along with the ability to dictate run speeds.

[Niiro]

Yea never do stuff like that as a DPS.

Good tanks and healers can carry a bad group, good DPS just get killed.

Find other people that want to farm the dungeon cards and run with them, I did Pharos with a few friends and even with the ilvl cap that place just melts with people that don't suck.

[Adajer]

Any finds on good tournament high score methods?

[octopus]

Doing zodiac dungeons I got to 30 cards with no effort lol

[gaira]

slowed down a lot at 54 cards, but managed to get rowena to cough up louisoux first match tonight, as well as 1/1 ultima. mog still eludes me at 0/70ish...

haven't bought a single silver or gold pack yet, trying to avoid it until i have more mgp than i need.
