Do we get any mythril for this?

[Alkar]

Do we get any mythril for this?

Iirc each boss has four stages and the first two have 1 mythril each. Should be 10 total from the event itself, 7 from the login.

[kuronosan]

Nice. Maybe I'll be able to throw out a 50 since I have no plans on pulling major until Quistis' BSB event.

[Classikmage]

Ultima Weapon 160 was pretty weak. Mastered no medals lost with this setup.

[Karbuncle]

I-Ued-an-All-MNK-team-for-all-fight.(and-Tyro)

Beat-them-no-problem.

Final-one-wa-harder-than-i-thought-it-would-be.

[Ratatapa]

1/1 U+. But will probably need to get synergy characters for p2 not sure I have e dmg with non synergy characters to beat his 10 turn zantetsuken

[Ratatapa]

REad this if you wanna learn what to do with 5* motes

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKee...s_preparation/

[kuronosan]

Basically what I read. Can't wait to hone Meltdown.

[Kirbyprime]

Humm, my monks are actually pretty decently equiped all things considered... have Tifa / Sabin / Snow relics. Was pretty easy going in with 4 monks and Tyro. =/ then again, given that there's no CM requirement, I guess it would have been easy either way.

[Kirin]

Just so im clear on how this stuff works.

5 motes to access 6* use on a character. (5 total)
10 motes to gain a copy of the skill for anyone with 6* access to use. (15 motes total)
15 motes to do 3% more damage on everything that character does. (30 motes total)

You can then spend 10 motes for copies of the 6* skill to break down for crystals.

So you're trying to balance the need for crystals versus unlocking the use of the ability on as many characters as possible.

[Ratatapa]

the 15motes for 3% dmg is a waste

Also you need 1 mote to 'unlock' the abilities to use the first stage

So getting 1 ability per persone requires 16 motes (31 if you wanna unlock all 3 levels for 1 character)

[Auspice]

Why can't Yda unlock this? What a crock of shit; I'll probably break them all down.

[theshun]

Took A Team without synergy. Lightning is stupid fun to use with Smite.

[Rooney]

Why can't Yda unlock this? What a crock of shit; I'll probably break them all down.

Can as soon as her record sphere is released.

[Ratatapa]

Can as soon as her record sphere is released.

Aka in 3-5 months

[theshun]

What's the concept behind this? No Monk Nightmare Abyss so this is how they get their 6*?

[Ratatapa]

No yda just doesn't have record dive until next XIV event

[Rooney]

What's the concept behind this? No Monk Nightmare Abyss so this is how they get their 6*?

Basically.

The Music they are playing this week on the home menu, is way too obnoxiously loud to NOT be Dissidia music...
