[Ratatapa]

New weekend plan

Today do orb fest till it stops then starts abyss

Saturday abyss and start tactics ( stop around 1-2 pm)

Saturday night rush cosmos event and egg garland to 65

Sunday sundaily kefka golbez and kefka

Monday continue tactics

[Ratatapa]

Wait, what? But you have almost every BSB and SSB ever released. I always assumed you had everyone at 80.

My entire existance is a lie.

That's exactly why he's not 80

[Kirbyprime]

With every SSB/BSB, I doubt he needs to level much.

[Tyrath]

Yeah it usually bothers me to see capped characters wasting exp. Most of my A team was mid 70s. Now seeing all 5 exp bars not move after fights is really gonna be annoying D:

[Yuri-G]

omg lost mastery on Algus elite because I underestimated those black mages :/ boo hiss

I did well enough for someone who had nothing above 50 before Orbfest and no refreshes:

Shantotto 65 and uncapped to 80
Faris 65
Selphie 65
Fran 65
Beatrix 65
Tidus 65
Ashe 65
Agrias 65
Rydia 64
Bartz 63
Zidane 59
White Mage 52
and lots of 50s including White Mage for the RM and Kuja for his SSB, but no MC1 on him yet sadly. might use the lode from this event on him, might not. no rush and who knows what I'll pull from the relic draw?

with today I'll probably finish a few of those to 65. it was a good couple weeks. I did egg most of them to 25~30 to start, just to avoid OHKOs

[Tyrath]

Why are you doing algus during orbfest?

[Yuri-G]

lol because I was like "NO.... MORE... FARMING... PLEASE"

then I was reminded of how little xp normal events give, back to Orbfest for one more day

[Moridam]

i still have 5 more refreshes to crank out after work, not tallying anything until the dungeon closes!

[Mertron]

i have everyone at their max level except

ovelia at 65
cyan at 73
minwu 68
yang 66
braska 66
maria 65

ran through the tactics event and burned delita and mustadio to 80 with mythril (and of course their rms didn't drop, thanks Obama). 0 mythril now, rip orbfest

[Tyrath]

Ya I was thinking especially because you're behind you can definitely use as much of orbfest as possible.

[Corwen]

Refreshed 165 times during this orbfest, so I had quite a run.

Skill upgrades:
Saint Cross r3->r4
Dark Zone r3->r4
Sanguine Cross r1->r3
Multi Break r1->r2

Plenty of orbs remaining for future skills such as lightning dive r3, gaia cross r3, up to 2x r3 5* summons and up to 4x r3 5* blm spells.

New level 80s (48) - Firion, Maria, Leon, Minwu, Luneth, Arc, Refia, Ingus, Kain, Rydia, Rosa, Edward, Faris, Exdeath, Krile, Celes, Edgar, Gau, Setzer, Relm, Aeris, Yuffie, Zack, Cid, Quistis, Zell, Irvine, Laguna, Freya, Quina, Eiko, Amarant, Beatrix, Kimahri, Rikku, Jecht, Basch, Ashe, Penelo, Gabranth, Snow, Vanille, Sazh, Hope, Y'shtola, Thancred, Yda, Papalymo

New level 65s (14) - Gordon, Leila, Ricard, Josef, Desch, Yang, Fusoya, Sabin, Cyan, Strago, Barrett, Shantotto, Serah, Ranger

Bringing my total to 84 level 80 characters and all other non-core characters except the newly released FFT chars at level 65 minimum, and all MCs in the game prior to the current FFT event used.

Others that didn't quite make it to 80 (4) - Auron (77), Tifa (72), Cait Sith (72), Braska (66)

[Kirbyprime]

had pretty bad luck with final phase, not a lot of major orbs and I don't want to commit more mythril to it =/ I have enough to r4 saint cross but not if I want r2 multi-break. la sigh.

[Auspice]

Feels like I've gotten a shitload of MHOs in this phase.

Debating on doing another Tyro Selection pull just for the freebie drop bonus. I already have Peacemaker and Genji Blade from the feature and White Dress, Aevis Killer(6*), Rising Sun(6*), Lullaby Rod, and Grand Armor(6*) from the bonus. I'm at just over 100 mythril.

I know none of the items are really game breaking but some are pretty decent; will I be regretting it when the V and VI events come up in a month or two(whenever they are lol)?

[Ratatapa]

Have time for 1 more full orb fest run but I think I'll stop here

V yes, banner #1 is amazing. VI banners are ok but not even close to Greg #1, Celes BSB is overhyped

[Ratatapa]

Stfu!!!!

[hyoton]

Celes BSB is overhyped

YOU MONSTER

[Tyrath]

I also don't really get the hype about it X.x

[Robertfb]

Having more personal problems so I won't be able to go to the library more then once a week, so won't be posting much, will still post events, but only on the weekends.

[Moridam]

kept going until they forced me out, heh. final tallies! didn't keep precise refresh totals, but it should fall somewhere around 100-120 in total. phases 1 and 2 were between 20 and 25 each, while phases 3 and 4 should have totaled out to 35-40 each.

started orbfest at 2M gil and ended at about 66, plowed a fair bit into conversions and hones throughout.

can't actually finish all of my 5* hones until i get the wind orbs from the current nightmare and FFT events, but i'll have TR to R2, then dark zone, saint's cross, powerchain, full charge and dragoon jump all R2>R3. plus a bunch of major orbs in the tank for future abilities. also rounding out my summon hones with 3* elementals at R5 and maduin/valefor/alexander at R4 and enough MSO to R3 a 5* at some point.

leveling stuff:

to 80 (asterisk characters had post-MC2 RM drop):

Arc*, Luneth*, D. Cecil*, P. Cecil, Edge, Edward, Edgar*, Setzer*, Sephiroth, Tifa*, Zack*, Edea, Irvine*, Seifer*, Eiko*, Zidane*, Tidus*, Wakka, Penelo*, Ashe, Basch*, Vaan, Fran*, Balthier*, Gabranth, Sazh*, Snow*, Lightning*, Fang*, Vanille*, Y'Shtola

To 65:

WoL, Minwu, Gordon, Leon, Ricard, Firion, Golbez, Galuf, Sabin, Kefka, Barret, Red XIII , Squall, Selphie, Quina, Braska, Hope

To 50:

Desch, Refia, Ingus, Krile, Mog

and my finish line party was maria, leila, cait sith ending at 36, 31 and 29, respectively.

previously had 21 characters capped at 80, now i'm at 52, so it was a rather productive orbfest all in all. got a whole mess of key skills at R3 and most major realms able to field a full synergy party, bring on the CMs!
