    I don't understand 11 Pulls honestly, I know its RNG, but even in my JP version, I think I've gotten more than 1 5* a grand total of once? Its mostly just an ocean of Silver and Gold with a single rainbow (or none) in the middle. Those people who get 3-4 can kindly eat dongs.

    I mean, the drop rate during banners is 12% isn't it so getting 1 in 11 isn't that far from the norm.

    I guess I should clarify a bit. What I dislike is blowing such a large Mythril load on an ocean of silver and a single rainbow that just feels "plffbltblbtlt", even if its good... idk, I prefer ones and threes. Wasn't saying they are bad to do, just that I don't enjoy doing them, though I know in the end the math will favor that method due to the extra 1 item. It feels far more underwhelming than getting a rainbow in a 1 or 3.

    I don't think 12% is true for the JP Version, which I did also mention, i think theirs is somewhere near 23%, it actually shows the values im just not near my phone atm ._.

    Base rate on JP side is 13%; I don't think there's any known quantification of how much it increases for every non 5-star draw (which btw does work during 11s). Personally, after messing with singles a bit on the JP side, I'm still going to stick with 11s because you have more chances for the same amount of mythril.

    Eh, I've have better luck with 3x giving relics than 11x, but that's because you can pull more frequently.

    Yes, but I end up giving up wasting mythril sooner.

    Fair enough. I used to do single pulls when I started the game because I needed any 5* gear at all. Luckily I learned restraint once I got geared up. The Lightning 3pull is the only unwanted pull I've done in a while.

    So I went ahead and read this and found it interesting, a lot of it I've read in bits and pieces before but nice to have it all in one place. After reading about the stacking mechanics I wanted a list of what stacked and what didn't but couldn't find anything. I started adding some new lists in the first post of the Beginners Guide thread. It'll be for what Abilities and SB's are technically the same and overwrite each other. Is there a spreadsheet that does this already? I had to cross reference at least 3, the one in that reddit post is incomplete.

    Thanks, at least I got some good 4* sinergy stuff. Haven't seen much in these JP lucky banners to be honest: WHM gave me Tyro's SSB and Magistral Rod, SMN had Terra's Enhancer. Nothing special really but hey, stat gear and +10 ATK on Tyro.

    After dumping 110ish mythril trying to get Peacemaker/Glaive (in need for a second dps SB)/Wyrmfang and getting just the generic spear and estharian helm (have no 8 gear so happy draw), decided to YOLO 3 pull before it went away and my FFT hermitage begins, and got Glaive! It's not ssb, but gdi I wanted it and i'll take it! WRU when Bart U happened!? .

    Wound up getting Reno's goggles from the 100 pull. I'm cool with that, as Reno's our only real ff7 blm atm.
