Final Fantasy Record Keeper 2019: Doomtrain Chugging Along

[synistar]

Serah. It's the only ATB sync out of that bunch. Cloud with Awake + USB tends to work well enough.

[Kirin]

Finally got around to finishing the other half of 6* magicites.

Holy fuck is Kefka's sync bonkers. Pretty sure he alone took Alex from 50% to 0% in 8 seconds. Time to finish up regular Odins and move onto White Odin.

[Sumy]

Went in DEEP on the FFXIV banner, since they are so rare, and everything on it was new... happy with the results, but turns out I didn't need any of it for DK.

Oh well, guess I'm set for Poison Odin?

Only FFV and FFX DKs still giving me headaches now.

[Sumy]

Really digging Labyrinth -- game feels like new life was given to it!

Do they give this many Treasure Maps from Missions with each season? ...I was able to get Lvl 99 sets for Tifa, Red XIII, Emp, and Cinque (the four that matter <.< ) with just mission rewards and playing each Labyrinth once.

[Ayn]

Oh? Talk to me about labryinth. What's that like?

You make three teams > enter a labyrinth of a chosen level > each "room" has three options that could be; Monster, Treasure, Buff, Debuff, Mystery, Exit, etc., choose one to get to the next room > occasionally fight a monster that will drop a single 5 or 6* drop > occasionally run into NMs that can drop better things -- I found a Magic Urn yesterday that dropped Tifa's Hero armor. -- collect Hero Armor.

Level 600 (?) boss at the end.

Good character-specific armor with set bonuses.

Updates every few weeks.

[Gokulo]

Tbh I can see it getting old really quick. I even read that JP players got really bored of it fast and I can understand that, as later dungeons take a very long time to complete... Still, it does breathe some fresh air into the game for now.

[Hellfury]

Most people in here probably have stronger teams than me, and I can auto all of it except for Diabolos, Atomos and the final boss which it way out of my league.
It takes pretty long, esp. the later dungeons, but it does give a lot of shineys (grade 4*-6* motes, all 4 lenses, crystal(s), rat tails and probably something I forgot), in addition to the hero upgrades.
But, I did it a fair bit the last few days since I have had a bit of spare time so I did it a lot, and as Gokulo said, the later dungeons take loooong.

It gives a lot of shiney rewards, esp. for people like me who can't go whale, but I don't think I'd have the patience to grind it out if I couldn't auto almost all of it.

minor tip I read but forgot to test: You can use record markers to autocomplete a labyrinth, and you'll get shiney loots. You also get a record marker daily for completing a labyrinth....

I just tried one this morning, it insta-completes a dungeon and give you loot -- so far I used it twice, and each time got 1 Unique Artifact both times (not sure if that's the limit?) but they also had really poor augments on them -- not sure if it was just bad luck, or if this is to be expected from using Markers? The end boss drops Unique Aromors with max augments on them it seems (at least all the armor I have gotten from him so far is max augmented).

I can absolutely see this getting boring really quick... I've never needed to take a break from an FFRK dungeon before, but these 20 floor dungeons that spam LvL 400 monster battles are taking forever.

...also, now that Weekly Magicite missions are gone - How do we get 6* motes? FF11 team kinda screwed right now.

They made an announcement (june 9th) that a replacement thing will arrive on the 20th and be called "just 6* Mote Missions or something, with daily and weekly objectives.
(As well as what you pick up from labyrinth).

[Gokulo]

Yeah, final boss always drops max augments. Not sure if it's affected by the marker, but later dungeons have better chances to drop stronger augments overall

You only get 1 loot when you use a marker

[Sumy]

So, Bartz Excalibur... I've gotten about 16 of these since the update and not one single sword has Element +1~5% -- does it actually exist? ...or are the google docs incorrect?

[kuronosan]

I have 3% on mine.

[Hellfury]

I have 5% on mine, so they exist, but after having religiously spammed the previous groups Volcano manually for a month due to staycation and crappy weather, those 5% droprates do not seem to be very high when eyeballing it :/

POIDH:

[Kirin]

only 1 or 2 of my drops so far are elemental damage +. I keep getting the "Boost Atk" or Delay -5% drops.

I don't like this process at all. Spent almost ALL of my non event stamina on labyrinth last time and was still missing 3 or 4 +5% items.

[Sumy]

Final Wodin, and DK Type-0 were both really easy -- guess that's powercreep for ya?

Now the new issue is, I'm running out of gil -- had 200+ mil about 6 weeks ago, and after upgrading all the histroria crystals to 120, and upgrading Hero Equipment, I'm down to 30mil -- so, when everyone else is low on gil, what do you sell first?

is there any point in hanging on to Arcana other than Poison Odin (coming Oct 2nd)?

is there any point in hanging on to Rat Tails with all (but Core) Historia Crystal at 120?

is there any point in hanging on to Scarletite, Adamantite or Rosetta stones with Artifacts, and Hero Equip the new standard?

is there any point in hanging on to 3*, 4* and 5* motes with what appears to be no new characters on the horizon?

....in what order should I start selling them?

[Ratatapa]

Eggs first
4-3-5* mote if everyone is done ( only new character is ravus in 6 month)
You can sell some labyrinth items that you don’t use like iirc I sold my treasure maps
If not on September 2nd there a fire chocobo event

Run the last dungeon on auto while you sleep the buy the unlimited gil supply with the points

[Vandalhart]

A while ago I sold off my lower levels Scarletite, Adamantite, and Arcanas. I think I kept the highest level ones and maybe some of the second highest level ones. I try to keep my 3*, 4* and 5* motes around 500 just in case new characters are introduced.

[kuronosan]

I sell eggs, arcana, and motes.
