Do the full 60 run. People figured out that if you get the 5x cactaurs, depending on which stage it is, those cactaurs will not drop a specific orb. If I read it right, stage 1 5x cactaurs will not drop a black unless it's a 4*, second stage won't drop dark, third stage lightning. So if you do all 3 stages, it will balance out on average and you also get the extra gil.
My results from 5100 stamina in P1 so far (not including first time completion rewards):
190 Greater Orbs (51 Black, 78 Lightning, 61 Dark)
22 Major Orbs (5 Black, 8 Lightning, 9 Dark)
Comes out to 26.8 stamina per Greater and 231.8 stamina per Major.
i don't know if it's just random variance but i have had a fuckton of cactuar pops of all varieties this time around compared to the last orbfest. hit a fair few stages with 3x cactuars, and i've seen 2 gigantuars so far as well, versus zero in the last one. only using natural stamina regen, haven't blown any mythril on resets thus far since i really need to save for the upcoming banners, i have fuck all for unique SB's and no SSB/BSSB.
which i guess is nice because i have 0 5* abilities, very few 4*, and my highest character is garnet at 60 atm.
So that's where my cactus been I think I got a total of 10 cactus and 0 gigant
Most of my 4* comes from trash of small cactus
Anyone that plays jp know if it is currently in maint? Been trying to login for a day now and keeps redirecting me to Dr. Mog with jp text and a link to jp FFRK page.
Spoiler: show
Yeah just realized I could try QooApp to see if it will update it, don't know why it doesn't auto update like global.
Edit: Updated, ty to all that helped, first time i've ever had to do this and doesn't help that it won't let you update, had to reinstall Qooapp and delete other apps (2 gigs free and it still claims no space unless I delete apps) to go onto the jp page and update it.
Bah, Cid Raines is a blm with support4, mnk3, whm3, blm5, drk5, also raines, lightning and hope get record dive and lightning can gain spellblade 5 through record dive.
Finally got my first gigant
AND
Major Dark orb
2 MDO here as well.
2 mlo 2 mdo so far. no mythril refreshes
edit: 3 mdo. dagummit
4 Majors so far here too (1 MBO, 2 MDO, 1 MLO). Seem to be getting a lot of Greaters just from random mobs. Granted I've never really spammed orbfests to know drop rates but I seem to be getting a lot more Greaters than in previous orbfests.
I think I'm putting core on standby until Springfest is over and I'm just gonna spam this for awhile. Already got a ton of orbs and finished quite a few people to 65. Just get gonna keep burning people up/farming orbs until it's over since I need hones bad.
