50k got me Agrias and Faris.

Completed Agrias Chaos with
2/3 Agrias
0/3 Faris
3/3 Ultimecia

Leviathan and Agrias friend.

Got to the boss around round 28 and won on 67. Agrias had 3 of her s1 remaining, Ulti was tapped out, and Faris had 3 or 4 of each skill left.

Took me a few resets to set up a good summon. Once I got the timing down with two Agrias ex during summon it was over.

Completed Agrias Chaos with: Purple Kuja, 0/3 EX+ Faris, Purple Agrias, Shiva summon, Agrias friend. Used Shiva to save turns on dragons since its useless for the knights. Only used friend Agrias for paralysis to debuff and brv shave the knights near the end when they hit 40k brv. Had to reset at 5% because I thought HP silence would stop their HP attack.... Which it doesn't.

Lillisette would probably have been better then Kuja, but meh, got the mastery anyway.

[Robertfb]

Completed Machina Chaos with: Purple Ultimecia, 2/3 EX+ WoL, and purple Agrias, friend Agrias, and Ifrit summon. Used summon when health was half and Ultimecia and Agrias EX was up, Agrias EX did capped DMG and Ultimecia spammed her skill 2, brought both Maliris to 20%. Agrias and friend Agrias kept them perma paralyzed after summon.

[Starby]

Machina chaos first try with Sherlotta, Agrias 2/3, Ulti 3/3, Agrias friend. Swapped Ulti for Agrias around 60% health on the bosses and just zerged them down.

66 turns and everyone had some skills left. Easiest chaos so far imo.

[Silenka]

That's a preview of what's coming, it starts getting easier now since we're past the "hell LCs" XD although FEOD will still be hard.

I have a bunch of Chaos still to finish, Soulcage (frustrating af), Agrias (eh) and Machina's plus the FEOD that gives stones. Gotta get on that soon...

Also, I'm about 400+ tickets in on Lili EX. I've pulled 4 Kuja EX so I guess I don't need to use powerstones on that at least >_> All I have left is whatever tickets I can muster from Chaos and summon boards before this banner goes away. My infinite hubris, thinking that surely I would pull her EX within 300 tickets, has caused my downfall. Considering spending gems even though I have literally everything else on the banner, UGH D:

[Starby]

Sat down and plowed through the new story chapter. The villains instantly had my attention.

I stopped playing ffxiv at the end of ARR so a lot of the stuff with the scions is just filler to me. Maybe I should go read a story synopsis somewhere.

Pulls have been garbage lately. Im going to 3/3 Celes, Vaan and Basch will get some ingots too if I need them to clear Pathos. I'm stuck on stage 3 there atm.

[Silenka]

Worth hopping onto XIV to play the story through Shadowbringers if you've got the time. Aside from Stormblood which is just okay, HW and ShB are both amazing.

If you want the quick and dirty on Lyse, (spoilers obviously)

Spoiler: show

she's been masquerading as her older sister Yda for the entire time we've known Yda, Yda died 6 years ago and Lyse decided to basically become her to carry on her and her father's wishes to free Ala Mhigo. Papalymo helps, but as hinted in the chapter, some stuff happens.

I'm also planning on 3/3 Basch, and Celes if I manage to get her. I'm only allocating gems to Basch banner though cause there's too much good stuff coming up after them. Vaan is still mediocre even with his rework, but he will be bonkers much later with his burst weapon. Since GL schedule is pretty accelerated we'll be seeing burst weapons soon enough lol.

[Starby]

Thanks for the tldr, Sil. I've considered running through xiv for the story since I've heard nothing but praise.

Maybe once I get sick of playing ffxi on Eden. It's been my main squeeze for a while now.

[Robertfb]

I quit at beginning of Heavensward and just YouTube watched Shadowbringers on release (I read a synopsis of HW and SB before ShBr release to catch up), it's 100% worth watching or playing. Best story in XIV, alot of lore added, amazing music and emotional feels, and ending made me excited to see where the story goes next.

Spoiler: show

Fuck Zenos being our villain rep, give me Emet Selchs instead. Also I hope to see Ryne added to DFFOO one day, as well as Crystal Exarch.

[Starby]

150 tickets got me Basch ex. Him and Vaan were instant 3/3 for me.

Completed Chaos first try with Basch, Vaan, Lillisette. Friend Agrias and Shiva.

[Robertfb]

Got lucky and got Celes and Basch EX with tickets, makes up having to pity Lyse. Can't Max out Basch or Celes ATM, powerstones got used up.

Completed DE Entropy. Teams iirc:

1: 3/3 Tidus, Noel, 2/3 WoL (hard, but did it, summon on final wave.)
2: 3/3 Kuja, 3/3 Krile, Porom (had to redo twice thanks to 3 trying Porom, not hard thanks to Porom. )
3: 3/3 Ultimecia, Serah (3x perfect artifacts), Sherlotta (hardest god damn one, zerged Maloris before her AOE HP hit, saved summon for final wave and zerged both before Jet Fire and Constrict. )
4: 3/3 Y'shtola, 3/3 Cloud, Aphmau (Easiest, even fucked up and saved summon for Ultima just to get it locked and unusable, still got mastery. )
5: 3/3 Squall, 3/3 Faris, 3/3 Rem (Sorta easy, Faris HP++ makes a difference, summoned on final wave. )

[Akiyama]

I just came back to the game like..super recently since the android emulator I use to play has issues from time to time during/after updates, so I end up taking long breaks.

I 3/3'd Cloud and almost 3/3'd Y'shtola so far. Outside of that, I have Quistis, Faris, Vaan, Vayne EX's. Working on Vaan atm to be my 3rd who could go 70/70 since the other ones can't. Well, I guess Faris probably can, but she's way far off for me sadly.

I wish I could do the DE's and stuff, but I just lack characters

[Robertfb]

DE is no biggie, it's permanent content, so it'll always be there, hell my JP account is at DE 6 out of 14 and I'm just too lazy ATM to work on it.

As for event chaos, just use gem revives to clear them, you only need the clear to get the nuggets.

ahh really? okay. ill try to do the event chaos then.

[Starby]

Completed the new chaos summon stages.

Ifrit and Ramuh: Cloud, Celes, Yshtola. Friend Agrias, Shiva summon. These were easy. Nothing special at all, just long fights.

Shiva: Ultimecia, Celes, and Yshtola. Ifrit and Agrias summon.

Shiva was harder. I focused down one of them and then dealt with the other slowly to minimize turns wasted while frozen.

[Starby]

Balthier ex on the free pull! I'm totally out of yellow crystals to max him, which is strange because I have 500+ of everything else.

[Silenka]

Grats! I got Thancred EX on free pull, which is something I wanted but is unfortunately far too late - he doesn't even have EX+ in JP yet and I certainly don't have white crystals to give him. Still chucking tickets at Celes and Balthier, but on the upside I was lucky recently to get Vanille EX with tickets! I guess Setzer will have to wait for another time, but I wanted Vanille more than I wanted his EX so that worked out.

[Khajit]

Ran into a barret EX since i had tickets to spare. I'm now in the gimp with an ex only club thanks to that.

I'm good for 3 pity draws now which means i'm all set for the global exclusive and Yuffie Ex on brothers.
After the emperor rolls out I'm going to have to figure out when I need to buckle down for pitying 4 banners in a row starting from Arciela AND have at least 15 ingots to spare for all of them. (Arciela, Kleiss,Elalnarche, Aphmau LC (featuring prishe EX+))
Ramuh, Ifrit, and Shiva boards are now completely cleared of treasures and that takes a load off of things since I only have to upgrade random stragglers and/or figure out what armour tokens to buy now.

[Silenka]

Wow, finishing all boards is crazy! I aspire to that but probably won't make it before SS is gone lol.

I'm not banking on actually wanting the GL exclusive character but I do have pity reserves for Emperor and Rosa ready. Hopefully I won't actually have to pity both of them because I want Yuffie too. There's a dry spell coming up with characters like Eight and Gau who I don't particularly care for so I guess that's when it's time to hoard for XI/XIV characters XD

[Robertfb]

For those that play the JP version and have Ardyn or Kefka's burst, be aware last update introduced an option to have burst music continue through rest of battle, just go to options, click right arrow, turn on the top option, bottom option is same, but for summon music. Fixes my gripe of 10+ min song being on a 1 min summon sequence.
