    Naw, I was talking about Brunnhilde two events ago. But yea, if you can do Very Hard, you should be fine.

    Are you sure the quest isn't find three? It might be a bad translation.

    Those sound like the TH buff feathers for co-op. Guessing he doesn't have enough materials to craft 3 of them

    Ya, I can't find the stupid pinwheel thing either. Haven't been able to find info on where things drop except the most likely place, but not for this.

    If you click the item it shows where it drops

    Gold border means it from gold or red chests in co-op

    yep, another thing GBF does extremely well. drop info on the item itself is something that every game should have.

    Just hasn't dropped, and even with Daily Mission filter, nobody is picking that low level one for a drop. I did do some pretty cool fights though.

    So, advice on which weapon to pump up, because I'm really too close to riding the line, of defeat, on the SF event Very Hard fight, on the easiest boss, for Karin. Sagat hit pretty hard, and Vega skill locks, so I'm pretty sure I can't beat their Very Hard versions, as I am, and I don't want to waste the exp, leveling weapons that won't help. I have 4 Character SSR weapons that are at minimum rank, and 4 SSR that are rank 40 minim. I'm currently using a light SSR weapon, one, because of my class synergy, so should I dump most/everything into my equipped weapon?

    You should be leveling every SSR weapon you have at this point. They'll all be helpful stat-wise and you won't be replacing them for a while. Doesn't really matter which one you prioritize since it's all in the same pool

    Sure, but should I focus on the ones, who's minimum rank I've achieved, and level SR weapons I'm using, or should I continue to try and level the SSR that I haven't reached minimum level on yet?

    caveat: I'm a GBF noob who has played tons of similar games, so here are my thoughts:


    you generally want the maximum bang for your buck. what I usually do is spread the XP out between weapons because earlier levels cost less than later levels. spending 1000 xp to get one level up is not as good as using that 1000 xp to get twenty level ups on a fresh weapon, you know?


    as for SRs vs SSRs, I feed them both because of the same notion - having one level 50 SSR is not as good as having 8 level 30 SRs. HOWEVER, any xp fed into a SR weapon is eventually wasted when you ditch that weapon for a SSR so I don't feed them too much. level 20~30ish is where I tend to feel the XP isn't worth it anymore, but that's just me.


    other than that, weapons give a 20% bonus to any character who specializes in that weapon. so I focus on my swords before anything else because 3/4 my team specializes in swords (1/2 my team when Gran is job-hopping). I still feed my other weapons but they tend to lag behind in levels because I get more attack/hp by feeding the same amount of xp to a sword.


    weapons whose minimum rank you haven't yet achieved will receive a 20% atk/hp reduction, so the reverse applies there - with the catch that eventually they will be 100% effective, so xp isn't actually wasted in the long run.

    I just have to say, for low level accounts...

    Strike Time + Yoda is amazing for joining hard raids, join raid, hit attack instant 10k honors.

    I'm struggling to do even the Hard SF boss fights FTP acct and rank 21, with 5 Suzaku SSR weapons, thinking of bursting through main quests since they are temp lowering the AP costs.

    A helpful hint for extra AP if you aren't going to play for awhile:

    Start a high AP fight you haven't cleared before and then close it, when you are ready to play again retreat from the fight and the AP returned to you will break the AP cap allowing you to go longer.

    I think I'm in love with Bingo in the Casino.

    This SF event just pisses me off. That and the progression of the game. I guess there's not much point in doing anything except get to rank 30? Spam for Magna weapons at that point or something? Even story quests don't really give weapon exp, so how exactly do you get stronger in this game besides a huge wait game on AP? Take a week off and camp Angel timers at 2 AM, or try to grind out Rank 40, where I'll get 20% stronger on some weapons?

    This game throws a fuck ton of things at you that you can do, but none of it seems particularly useful to do.

    Use your AP to level up during half AP times. The game throws lots of mats at you to craft AP refresh pots. Should be using those. Snag 1 BP hard fights at not-jp times and pick some easy angel weapons if needed. Or try your hand at coop and get some exp.

    So I picked up Anat from the Casino for my Wind team so that covers that, but I still need a good SSR Earth summon for my other team. Do those events (like the Suzaku one that just ended and was handing out Ifrit) cycle back around eventually or is there another place I can pick up an Earth summon? I know there's the option of Yggdrasil, but are there any other farmable ones?

    Got the +2000 bonus for taking down the hooded guy on very hard arcade, barely. Only got it because he triple attacked me right after I put up counter and countered him for almost 200k, lmao.

    There's a summon you can get for every element from the 2 day rotation like ifrit, cocytus etc. Earth is the next one in 28 hours. Vohu(earth guy) also has one of the only SSR weapons you can buy with attack passive from these fights so you should try to get those too.
