    That's part of why I'm blizting my berries; if we have two months of nothing, then that's plenty of time for refills.

    Before I do something stupid, is there an optimal way to reduce weapons to stones? Like a treasure I need set or a buff I need? I need a bunch of spear stones for my wind spear from last event and I have a bunch of Electro Forks to get rid of.

    Gatcha weapons give the most stones, but event/Omega SSR weapons give 20, IIRC.

    Found something about drop rates:

    Not sure what Drops Silver/Gold/Platinum mean though. Haven't heard of Damascus knife either.

    I'm missing a step because it only wants to give me 1 (+1) spear stone for an Electro Fork (SR). Do I need to max the level or MLB it first or something?

    That's how much non-gacha SRs give

    You don't need to max level anything to break it down. When it's in your main inventory, select it and click on Reduce. It should show as giving 1 +(1) for Spear stones. If it were a weapon you got from crystal pulls, then I think it would give 15 + (1). When I reduced my SSR Spear, from Tiamat, think I got 20 +1.

    Don't bother breaking down free SRs like Electro Fork. It's not worth it. Use them for skill fodder instead. Only break down Premium Gacha SR/SSR weapons or Free SSRs that you have no conceivable use for.

    Well, not a bad week in GB. While Mr. Mutant Head has shitty drops, I did clean out the rest of the event, including an extra copy of Robimi, which I believe I just break down since there's no reason to have an extra around. MVP Tiamat was nice as well and dropped my fifth gun, which I'll skill up soon.

    Question about skill leveling though. If I understand correctly, then SL2 SSR weapons are worth 80 points, right? If so, that would also mean that a SL2 SR would only be worth 8 points, correct? If so, that should mean there's no real point gain on anything other then an SRR weapon. I'm getting to the point where my weapon skill levels need to be aware of how SL+ weapons work and I just wanted to double check before going higher.

    That's correct. Fury Stones can also be skilled up, which means there is a minor point gain from skilling up the SR stones to level 2. Skilling up SRs is generally only done when you need the power in your weapon grid.

    Cool. I was looking at the GBF google spreadsheet, and there were sections that listed SRs2 for SR skill level 2, as well as single SR alternatives, for the same slot, which didn't make sense. I'm still using all of my skilled SRs, depending on the class, but the next gun I get replaces them, so I'll need to keep track of when best to use them.

    Is there a good place with a decent amount of information to read up on the Extra Jobs (like Alchemist/Ninja/etc)? The wiki doesn't have anything, and the same forums where that Ultimate Guide is only has a brief thing on Gunslinger but not the other Extra jobs.

    How well does 5* Amira function as part of a Dark team after she can fulltime her half-god form? Does she gain benefits from a Dark weapon grid when in her half-god form?

    Doesn't function and doesn't get boost from dark weapons. Only time you would use her is in a meme MLB Odin/MLB Odin team

    Damn, that's a shame. Saw a few posts on Reddit of people using her in the middle of their Dark teams and got my hopes up.

    So I have enough CP/JP for any 1 EX job. That'll wipe me out for a while. My main team is Fire and I have a passable Light team (Jeanne, Ferry, Amira, Albert, lots of SSR stat sticks but no dedicated grid). My weapon selection is a lot more limited in the other 4 elements.

    Which job do you guys recommend grabbing? My initial thoughts were Mystic for the Mastery bonus or Ninja for Light Marks, though I don't have a Light element Katana and would have to use Fists.

    Samurai for the level 20 mastery. None of them are really worth playing

    That's a shame. Samurai it is then. Thank you!

    Damn, these Celestial weapons love to eat up EXP to reach cap. I'm guessing this is what leveling a max MLB Omega is like.

    Yeah once they got past lv100 it's been ridiculous. I thought the same, everything post 100 is going to be very dumb.

    Captcha are in full force today, and I hadn't even been playing but for a couple of minutes on each account before they both triggered one.
