Orb fest could fix that issue soon

[Moridam]

yeah that will definitely help, although not quite like the last one where i did 100+ refreshes, lol. i'm assuming this is going to be the weird goldfest version with the chips or whatever that makes it not worth refreshing.

it is nice having the full complement of characters/MC/MC2 though, the extra eggs from weekly events really adds up. still sitting on ~30 majors and 150 greater after getting OK to 99 and spending a shitload on yang/porom/tellah the week before.

[Auspice]

i'm sitting on at least 25 OK motes, and that's after unlocking all his 3* spheres and finishing support 5. haven't refreshed at all, that's just natural stamina use on the ++ exp dungeon.

How in the fuck? I've spent 100% of my stamina since Saturday(?) and have 10 motes(got my first drop in days today).

[Moridam]

i've spent almost all my stamina there too since i unlocked it, with the exception of the U/+/++ gauntlet for III, swapping to sundaily to level non-III characters, and a bit of stamina to do the gyges MO dungeons. excessively good luck, i guess -- if it's any consolation i'll probably pay for it dearly with pulls over the next several banners i hit.

[hyoton]

OK motes done. Now to figure out if I should dump exp into refia for throwing RM- I could use it but have no use for refia.

[Yuri-G]

Did you all do the final multi-player dungeon alone? I did 140 alone so I think 160 should be fine. Just curious if you had trouble or not. Dark Dragon, I mean

[Moridam]

i did the 160 with BG crew on sunday night, we smashed it np. shouldn't be bad at all solo.

[Ratatapa]

New RM stats for third batch

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKee...w&compact=true

Suggest you do these if you don't need MC3 for Bsbs


Cloud +30% sword damage
Vaan +30% dagger damage
Refia +30% thrown damage
Zell +30% fist damage
Balthier +30% gun damage

Yea but it's so much more fun with MP.

I did it solo. Sleeping the dragon is pretty much the key aspect, and arguably an easier fight all around if you're more the mage meta since it can stay slept.

TAY event coming! Ceodore+ Holy Dragoon dress record for Kain!

Hone up power/magic breakdowns, you can get by with breaks for a while though. Shatter majors to get greaters, or upgrade 3 star orbs to 5 star then shatter (cheaper than going 3 to 4 and shattering takes up a ton of gil). Get curaja asap, lower level cures no longer heal enough. Recover from KO skills are usually a bad deal since you don't have buffs or much HP on when you come back. 4 star abilities are a big boost to power - you want to eventually cover mitigation (R3+ power/mag breakdowns, shellga/protectga r1), healing (curaja), nukes (stoneja in your case with rydia bssb), and AOE (ruinga/maduin since it's...relatively...cheap) and lifesiphon (easy way to leverage your powerful physical soul breaks). Your soul breaks are great (three bssbs including vaan's extremely powerful one) so you don't have to worry there.

Do dungeons until you run out of them. Mythril, orbs and stamina. But do dailies to get 1k for the weekly greens mythril. Once you get high enough stam you could even think about refreshing for stamina for orbs - not a great deal but skills are still fundamnetal.

Use google to search for a PDF by someone named MisterP, it explains FFRK's mechanics and useful info in detail. Also look for an orb planner (I use gamerdude's) to figure out what you need to spend for upcoming stuff. On reddit someone named TFMurphy explains the AI for events and this info is super useful (he also has a fairly old post which you'd have to manually search for which explains how and why the AI works the way it does - search for 'lottery box'). Once you understand the mechanics of ffrk it'll make sense why the game works the way it does.

Great info, thanks!

Got Zell's "Burning Fist" (I think, phone died so I can't check) BSB today, so I'm guessing he's going to be replacing Yang once he gets levels. Yang's got Hellclaws and Exploding Volcano Kick, but I'm guessing Zell's BSB might be better.

Might work towards a Vaan/Zell/Luneth/Ramza/Porom team for a bit. Still need Vaan, but there's a bunch of events coming up it seems. Played a bit with a Kain/Yang/Ramza/Luneth/Porom party - and it was absolutely melting all the realm bosses, especially if I used Vessel of Fate for my RW. Seemed to take moderately heavy damage though. Trash mobs on Mount Gagazet were dishing out some heavy damage.

[Jem]

Can OK Motes come from anywhere or just 3 dungeons? I heard people spamming the exp farm to get them but I just got one from the 3 Mote Dungeon which is far more stamina efficient to farm for it unless it's a stupidly rare drop there.

[kuronosan]

Only EXP or III Mote dungeons.

[Deathbringer]

It can also drop from U, but thats blowing up 60 stamina.

Yeah for dungeons the difficulty rises consistently and heavily for elites until a certain point (I don't remember when) when the dungeon difficulty start stagnating and doesn't really get harder. If you dont have good hones then some of the RMs that slightly refill your abilities after each set of rounds is complete, so they're useful to give yourself a protectga or carbuncle every fight. But nowadays it's probably easier to just beat on stuff with abilities and BSSB the bosses down. If you do the classic first, then you can figure out if magic or phys is going to wreck you in elite, then do the elite immediately after. But that's less stamina efficient than clearing tons of classics.

Zell BSSB is the crit up instant cast etc etc one? It can't be buffed via elements and that's about its only flaw, it's otherwise almost the perfect physical BSSB. Command 1 for self buff, command 2 to spam do booyah punch rush combo of doom.

[Yuri-G]

tfw you switch Bartz to sword and forget to move him up to the front... twice in a row.


I mean it's + tier so I won't die or lose medals. but still

Ive done that more than a few with Balthier switching between synergy weapons (guns to swords).

I may be able to finish Yda, Amarant and Zell to 80 before Sundaily. That will let me do the FFT team on Sundaily, and then only have to worry about Noel and the FF1 crew to level for orbfest.

[Yuri-G]

very nice. this is the first XIV event since I came back (I think?) so I don't have anyone leveled, or even their MC1s. but I have been putting a ton of time into FFXIV itself lately. between that and the banner quality I am beyond excited for this one! Alphinaud's BSB I am really hoping for; he grows on you so much as a character through the Heavensward arc. at least he did for me. he begins to show a significant amount of maturity and personal growth, although he needs to drop the martyr shit and get over himself a little (see:

Spoiler: show

the scene where he "disbands" the Crystal Braves, but they still support him and he keeps being all "oh I am not worth of ur appreciation guyz"

Something I never thought much about as a kid: FFVI has a weird bestiary. Why am I fighting/being attacked by women named "Misty" who smoke two foot long cigars while wearing evening gowns?
