    Connection probably isn't stable/strong enough, then. Not a whole lot you can do about tower coverage or impediments caused by buildings. If you're running off a sub-contractor like Straight Talk or whatever, you're also not getting service priority compared to AT&T, Verizon, etc.. Overall net traffic is also up with quarantine blah, so that might be a factor, too.

    I dunno how to check the stability of it. I am on sprint and someone brought in their magic box a few months back, but ive never had issues in the years ive been here. Can stream movies and tv np.
    Oh well. Just a minor annoyance.
    Bigger annoyance is I have 9 pulls on ramza banner and no ramza yet.

    One more 10 pull will give you the coins to trade for him then, but with that much investment, you may not have the time or visiore left to get his shards to do much with him. If you luck out and pull him on the final pull, you could also use those tokens to get 50 of his shards.

    Orlandeau and Mediena at 5* awakening. Gated by thought/rainbow fragments, sadly.

    Kind of running into my own self made wall. With paid visiore being usable on guaranteed banners and better value bundles, I'm not wanting to use it to buy shards in the shop. But as I approach the point of running out of free visiore, I find myself wanting to buy visiore packs just for the free bonuses to avoid burning any paid. XD Quite the system they've got. Just going to have to cut back on the shard buying.

    Yeah, I think it took TAC a few years to get into the paid currency, and even then the paid doesn't always guarantee you anything worth a damn.

    Probably going to scale back except for select activities. Eventually it'll hit the point where the whales swim to other waters and they become generous with stuff to maintain people.

    Goodluck bro. I gave up trying to pull him after about 105 total pulls... then the Free summon gave him to me and I had to LB him anyway ._.

    Wait.. Tactics MP can drop his shards? Or do you mean for milestone rewards?

    MP is more energy to currency efficient, and then you can use the currency to get his shards from the FFT Mog Shop.

    I've been in a guild already, were Silver 3ish, but you can add me to the doc and friend me in game if you want.

    Oh ! My bad.

    Did one pull on the Kitone banner, cause I'd forgotten to use my Visiore on Mediena shards from the shop.

    Got golem, so hey.

    The type you get seems random on craft. I got three vitals instead of the evasion one.

    Finally, they said to use HP Hammers instead of the others (if the HP stat is low enough to easily max it with hammers that is). MR items get +5 total stats allocated randomly, and if you max out a stat then the level up stats will go to whatever is available. Since HP Hammers give +15, they are more effective to use assuming you can max out the HP completely on the item you want to level.

    Anyway, just some random stuff in case this info helps out anyone.
    Just an update on some of the info I posted previously in the thread. When leveling up an item, there’s a base chance on all stats to gain a Stat Boost on Level Up. It’s not a static amount.

    Spoiler: show

    Stat Gain Mechanics on Equpment: If on Item Level Up, a stat roll fails and does not boost a stat, you only get a +1 on the available stats.

    When trying to max an item in crafting, it’s actually only recommend you use the HP Hammer method I posted earlier on some items but not all.

    For example with Circlet (Dodge Type) has a max HP of 74 and max MAG of 10, MAG 2, and DEF 1. EVA is max at +15.

    Circlet is an SR, and the stat gain (which is different per equipment) is really low.

    When leveling up an item, each item apparently has a base percent on all stats to grow. If no stat grows, then you get a minimum of +1 to a random available stat.

    In this case, to ensure Circlet can gain max evasion, you can use 5 HP Hammers, 3 Magic Hammers, then the rest of the stats will go to SPR, DEF, and EVA, and you can max out the Circlet by level 20 (need to Awaken once).

    You can use Evasion Hammers but that will give you only +10 Evasion, and the total Hammers used is higher.

    I leveled up my Circlet +1 to level 5 while using HP, MAG, and EVA seals for each level (so total of 5 used), and my Circlet ended up with only 8 HP, 1 MAG, and 2 EVA which is really terrible stat allocation (I want to max out evasion). At level 10, it was at was 12 (HP), 2 (MAG), 1 (DEF), 0 (SPR), and 3 (EVA).

    Anyway, I reset and do the method below to guarantee I get +15 Evasion on my Circlet by Level 20.

    So, the method I posted works in cases like that. You will always get at least a +1 on a random available stat per level but otherwise, it’s a random chance on all stats at once.

    For weapons and other things (which high max stats), you are better off just saving and using ATK or MAG hammers. Though again, I don’t know for sure but I just wanted to post this as a correction to what I posted earlier about hammer usage.


    So basically:

    1. If you are upgrading an item like Circlet with low total base stats, it’s best to use the HP Hammer method (max out HP and maybe either ATK or MAG, and then level up “without” having to use any seals).

    2. If you are upgrading an item like a weapon with high total base stats (and you can’t easily max out HP with HP Hammers), just use seals for whatever stat (Attack Seals on every level), and just save Attack Hammers for that.

    Basically this too: https://old.reddit.com/r/wotv_ffbe/c...ures_findings/

    There’s already been a datamine (https://old.reddit.com/r/wotv_ffbe/c..._for_crafting/) of how the mechanics works but this game is on early FFXI levels with not telling you how mechanics work.

    Anyway again, just some random info in case this helps anyone out. I’m doing this to build Etre is an evasion tank, and it’s been working out well. Circlet (max of +15 Evasion on Dodge type) is cheaper and the recipe is farmable, and I actually ran out of materials for Sage’s Hat (it uses a material that you can’t easily farm right now).

    Hammers are kind of sparse but if you want to build an Evasion tank, Circlet seems like the cheapest item to try to build (make sure when you craft, it gets the “Dodge” type). If you manage to get a Dodge type on Sage’s Hat, it can get +18 Evasion which is a bit higher (I tried but ran out of materials, so I went for a Circlet instead).

    Remember to finish the FFT event. Get at least all the Rainbow Spheres and Rainbow Fragments, and then also make sure to get as many Nagnarok recipes as possible.

    Remember to check all Missions (Events) and complete them for the Medals.

    Nagnarok is cheap to craft and I already nearly have a +5 (I held off of farming for FFT except for the last two days, and that’s when I went all out on using the Large NRG pots and finished getting all Rainbows and now I am going for Nagnarok), and I hope to buy enough to get at least 3 Nagnarok’s at +5 (one for each type) since the recipe is cheap.

    Personally, this is why I like the game more than FFBE so far. In FFBE, progression is time gated and you had to hope you’d get lucky to draw the chars you need for their TMRs and STMRs.

    In WOTV, while weapon farming, etc are all grindy, you can make a really competitive team F2P. In FFBE, most progression is tied to TMRs and STMRs which comes from how much you pull (which is either time gated or whale territory). So, a lot of progression in this game is F2P friendly.

    Plus, I also actually enjoy farming (experimenting which builds can help me get through runs faster).

    Only downside is customization is lacking compared to FFBE (though apparently they are lifting certain equipment stat stacking restrictions in a future update in JP).

    My new PVP team (Match and Arena) is Etre, Kitone, and Frederika, and they are doing a great job against the meta. Since there are few mages in the meta right now, I raised Etre’s Faith to 97, and I have been using Etre with Knight and Cleric subjobs for their stat down abilities which is decent. I also decided to have Etre build resonance with Siren, since Siren can get a lot of Slash Resistance traits which is also common in the meta at the moment.

    I hope they let characters use the weapon types of their subjobs. I want to build Etre as a hybrid for Banish and Cure, and if only she could use Nagnarok. Besides that, the attack type of support abilities are based on the job. Knight abilities on Etre (for example) are Slashing type instead of Striking (for example).

    Feel free to just use Large NRG pots on auto in the EX FFT stage. Honestly, I tried multi but it’s rare to get a game where someone either isn’t disconnecting, AFK, or the game takes a while to go to other turns. I can complete the EX stage 2x as fast the average Multi game. So, if you need to do some last minute FFT farming, soloing it might be much faster if you have NRG pots to spare.

    Anyway, make sure to at least buy or farm 64 Nagnarok recipes (for one +5 at least). It’s an MR but only uses a few mats to upgrade, so it is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to get a +5 Weapon at the moment. Personally again, I am trying for at least enough for three +5s (in a future update you can transfer the type on upgrading). Nagnarok Vital isn’t bad because it has a balance of Attack and Magic. If you can’t upgrade them now, just save the recipes for later.

    Was close but I got Ramza and Orlandeau fully broke :D I have 15vis left.
