Granblue Fantasy General #2 - /gbfg/

LEGEND FESTIVAL CURRENTLY UNDERWAY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO PLAY NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO START

Last thread hit bump limit and is on page 14.

Granblue Fantasy is an insanely popular Japanese role-playing mobage (mobile phone game) that features artwork from Hideo Minaba and music from Nobuo Uematsu (of FFVI, FFIX, and Lost Odyssey fame). Characters are fully voiced and Cygames has spared no expense in acquiring top voice acting talent for the game.

Cygames has provided an English translation option for the Japanese version. Just simply select the English language option in the settings.

Before shitting on it just for being a mobile game, at least try it. I've had more fun playing this than a lot of more recent games (and I'm strictly a f2p player). Yes there are timers, but Granblue features tons of activities you can do to make progress even while you have no AP/EP such as a casino and co-op lobbies you can leech from. The game is also pretty generous when it comes to handing out AP/EP recovery items. It's one of the more 'fair' mobages you can play.

The game is just like any other RPG. You form a party of 6 characters (your main character + 5 other characters) and go into battles to level up and collect loot. There's the main story quest and tons of side content you unlock along the way, and eventually you can participate in multiplayer battles which have a competitive aspect and offer better loot.

You'll get some characters as you go through the story and the game has tons of events where you can get free SR characters, but the majority of your characters are going to be coming from the Gacha.

Gacha is short for gachapon. It's an onomatopoeia for a capsule toy machine. Basically you put in an in-game currency (or IRL money if you so desire) and you get to "pull" in the gacha and hope for new summons/weapons. Characters come with certain weapons, and you can view what weapon unlocks which character within the game. Your best bet of getting something good is by spending 3000 crystals to do a 10-pull (which guarantees an SR summon/weapon) or by spending IRL money when they do a special ticket campaign that lets you get a guaranteed SSR.

You have a few options.
Android:
Either sideload the granblue fantasy .apk file, or sideload qooapps and install it from that.

Chrome app:
You can play the game via your Chrome browser using the Granblue Fantasy chrome app. You can find it on the Chrome app web store.

Browser:
You can also just play it from your browser by going to game.granbluefantasy.jp

(Please keep in mind with any of these options it might ask you to make a Mobage or Gree account.)

Friendly reminder that this is your last chance to get the summer versions of characters. They'll be removed from the gacha on 9/1. They won't be available again until next year.

There is also an 8/v/ guild, please post your ID if you'd like an invite.

I forgot to add that to the OP, fuckkkk

I have water, fire, and earth units/weapons but no fucking wind anything. Legfest fucking help me

Also the crew name is "Infinity"

I'd join, but i joined another crew to complete a board mission and i can't leave for some reason.

In the beginning it can be difficult, but if you have a mixed element team then you should try and use Grand Order support summons. They give you a large boost to attack if you have more than 3 elements in your party.

I don't think guilds can be disbanded during guild wars.

I'm not particularly into any of the summer characters that I've already not gotten so I'll personally be holding off so I get better rates on the exclusive stuff.


Actually, the best way to get monies is wait for a four beasts event, then trade a paltry amount of event tokens for 100k monies a pop.


I'll post it after the guild wars.

I think I just hit the wall by rank 27, my early game can't be this horrible

Yay, managed to get snag MVP in a random proto bahamut raid and even managed to get a horn!


Huh, I never tried this. I'll try it out the next time a Celestial Beast event pops up. Hopefully they'll appear more often.

Leech co-op lobbies! It can be hard to get into a room sometimes, but it's totally worth it.

Yeah don't worry about uncapping all characters. You'll run out of mats if you do that. Instead, pick and choose those that you particularly like and focus on them.


It's around 5k tokens for the first exchange and 10k for the second each event for 200k, more if you're willing to spend more tokens.

Two SSR from my one 10 draw: Forte and Summer Heles. Along with SR Summer Sara and J.J.. Better than I thought it'd turn out.

This is nice and all, plus I'm grateful for getting a SSR especially for the earlygame, but I was promised waifus goddamnit! Bros before hos, I guess.
ID is 12740688

Welcome to the BALANCED club.

this one here gandghouza and dark angel olivia

G-Good to be here. I'll do my best!

Just an idea for future threads, include in the OP a 2nd pic of event schedule when its published

Summer Percy is very similiar to regular Percy, probably equally as strong and regular Percy is THE king of fire element

Olivia is a good dark summon because DELAY
Summer Danua is better than SR Danua, dunno how she compares to 5* SR version though
Gorgonzola is decent and no longer trash-tier

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to get those summer tiddies. I'm just going through the first quests now.

Well I was wanting to go with a Fire element team anyway so I guess the gacha machine gave me its blessing.

preferably reroll and use the free daily roll we have right now and gbf-english.proboards.com/thread/220/special-gifts-town
and start actually playing when you get someone you like(or is really strong)
Summer Zoi suggested so you can be a special snowflake for having otherwise unobtainable character

O-Oh… Okay then.

That seems to happen in nearly every raid or co-op I take part in. Feels like a race to hit the attack button before it ends.

it's probably raid time yoda "mvp stealer" or meme siete (depends on the raid obv)

So Cygames censored their hearthclone Shadowverse. Will they come for the big fat cat tats of Granblue as well?

no because Granblue doesn't have an english version

Localized, you mean.

they also recently? changed satan to the prince of darkness in a patch, I am not for sure but I think shadowverse's localization is either handled by a different team or was recently given to a 3rd party localization company seeing how these changes were recently patched in.

I wouldn't worry about granblue because it is the Japanese version that has the English patch added to it, with was most likely added for the southeast Asia players rather then westerners, also if the did censor granblue the otaku would have a shit fit. I'd worry more about re link because seeing how platinum is doing it, it's localization could be either handled by 8-4 or it will be handled by the guys who are doing shadowverse, the best case scenario for re link is if they added a english patch to the Japanese game like how they did with granblue so we can import that or we will can jump on the ball and ask play asia or pqube to help out.

pray with me

...

Thank goodness we have a translation rather than a 'localized'. It that happened the lolis would likely be lost as well, with Io being 11 and Sara 9.


You're right about re link, a PS4 western release is likely to see the same scrubbing shadowverse is getting. Play Asia been asking what folks would like to see with an english asian release, maybe that'll happen.

Well… bits of this are still 'localized' rather than translated. Have you seen some of the new names for the Eternals? Changing Siete into Seofon is kinda baffling.

Still finding out about the game. Maybe they get paid more the more they change.

Got Io and Zeta in two different draw, don't know about Zeta yet because I didn't had time to use her, but this summer Io is kicking asses left and right.
On an unrelated note, got my first SSR summon Mahisha, that makes two Light SSR in my team.


Yeah, it's kinda shitty when a rank 100+ join the raid and fucking one shot the boss, only call for backup "everyone" only if it takes too long to kill the boss, you don't have to call right at the start of the fight.


You either reroll if you just started, but it's kinda tedious I heard, or you get a premium draw by using 3000 crystals you get by making quests or getting titles.

SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you forgot that YAIA IS FUCKING SIX YEAR OLD

Well this is weird.

I was actually 3 chapters away from getting her in main quest.

I got lucky yet again after using to draw tickets.

you are giving me suicidal toughts, well either that or I'm starting to save up 90k crystals

...

six year olds are fine too imo

Nice. I like Lecia as a character, so I kinda hope I get her swimsuit version before it's gone.


Oh shit, it's War Machine

Another daily pull, another Swordshark.

Hopefully I'll get something better within the next week.

any of you that played this game for longer know how long it would take to get 300rolls worth of gems?

This anatomy is a curiosity.

I can't do anything but laugh now.

He actually has his uses, so don't feel too bad.

He's also a great character to use if you want to grief, his raid-wide buff/debuff removal can fuck a lot of people over

Draph women are all short and stacked as hell. Hourglasses everyone one of them. The tallest are like 130cm, so around four and a half feet?
Yaia's shape seems perfectly normal for a Draph and is on a good pace to match Camieux, who's 11 with G cups.

My early game can't be this much fun

Camieux is best Draph


Yep, Grand Order is super duper helpful for early game folks. As you get more characters though you should switch to single elemental teams, way easier to do bigger damage if you focus on a single element weapon grid.

This weapon situation is getting out of hand. Maybe have to spend crystals on space rather than draws.

Would probably be a good idea. 150 slots for weapons has been doing me pretty well. Summon inventory space isn't nearly as important, I still only have the default 50 slots.

Fuck yea new general.

Man I don't know if I should pull on this legfest or the next. I don't care about swimsuits, I only care about the character being good. Any swimsuit characters I should be looking out for?

I just started out and got enough characters from the free draws to fill my party and reserves. No particularly good character (I think) but I'm okay with what I got.

I still have no idea of what the fuck I'm doing with draws or how I unlock characters (through weapons?), but the game's kinda fun I guess. I don't think I'll be able to gather enough crystals for 10-draw in time so I'll wait for the next fest I suppose.

Summer Zooey is broken if you have the right weapon grid for her. A guild with a single member was able to get 8th in prelims because he had a summer Zooey party with an enmity weapon grid.


You can get a few characters from doing the main quest scenario, but yeah you get a majority of your party by getting specific weapons in the gacha.

Don't feel too bad if you aren't able to save up for another 10-pull this legfest, as they seem to be having them once a month now.

Since i'm new to the game, can you describe how broken/useful she is? I feel motivated to summon now.

She's insanely useful if you have a bunch of weapons in your weapon grid that have the 'enmity' skill. The way the enmity skill works is it makes your damage skyrocket the lower your HP is. Summer Zooey has skills that will not only drop your whole party's HP to 1, but give you invulnerability for that turn (and the drain skill to gain HP back) and she has a skill that boosts your party's attack depending on how low their HP is.

Pic related is an example of the kind of retarded damage you can do with Summer Zooey, an enmity weapon grid, and a few other things.

...

By the way, is there any penalty for grabbing summons from other players before beginning a quest? Like paying rupees or crystals for them or something. It just feels rather broken to take another player's summon and oneshot everything at the last battle.

Nope. Pretty soon you'll be struggling even with those summons anyway, so don't worry about it.

Okay I decided to try it because I could play it in my browser

This dragon thing is cute

Alright I'm doing a 10-pull. Wish me luck

No SSR, just garbage

how good is lunalu?

the r version

I don't know what they do but they're pretty disappointing

How long is this tutorial? I haven't really played mobile games before so this stuff is all new to me but it looks like the tutorial just keeps going

longer than it should be

Fucking kill me, I want to restart now

Vyrn is one of the best things about Granblue. Read the comics if you want a laugh.

She's a notable R character because of her Facsimile skill. It has its uses. Overall though, she's your typical R character. They're always gonna be outclassed by SR/SSRs.

Guys, is the game self updating or will I have to download a new .apk every update? Also, where do I get a clean up to date .apk for it? I don't know which sites to trust.

I really am not into dwarfism.

I see. Hope I get something from my next premium card then.

I presume this first free Draw in the tutorial is scripted? It gave me a rare Main Gauche and some guy named Walder, but everything else in the tutorial has been scripted so I doubt it's special.

Yep, it's rigged to give you Walder and a random R weapon. The non-rigged stuff comes from crystal draws, the daily free summer draw, and the premium gacha ticket draws.

Fuck it, I'll just wait until the next legfest for good shit

Friendly reminder to never fucking spend money on shitty mobage.

On topic, I'm pretty much done with the summer draws. Didn't get all the swimsuits I want, although I only did daily. I'm gonna save my crystal stash till part 2. Hopefully try to get the new guy, if it's good.
No Daetta swimsuit

I only have 60 gems and garbage. Fucking kill me. If I decide to play a bit longer I hope my luck turns around.

>spending money on game at all

Playing this because the art looks interesting but the grind is just fucking insane.

It's self updating. You can get an up-to-date .apk from qooapps.


Harvins are the midgets of Granblue. Draphs are like shortstacks.


If you look on youtube you can find a rerolling guide that'll show you how to skip most of the tutorial missions. Sadly I don't have a link to it but it's not all that hard to find IIRC.

a.k.a. DWARVES

they don't have proper human proportions

Well I'm not angry, just satisfied that I didn't really pull shit. But I want more SSRs god damn it

I guess the only shit character I pulled is swimsuit Walder

Draphs do have have proper human proportions, just smaller or larger in the case of males. There can be a human that's five foot and one that's six and a half, and they can still have the same proportions.
Dwarfism has abnormal arms and legs, messed up bone alignment and spine problems.
The only back problems a Draph would have is the same any human woman with a hefty chest would have.

fuck, sorry guys, I have too much autism for rerolling games, better not to even try.

So basically they're petite women with large breasts and horns

I finished up the tutorial and got all my free draws, and as I understand it wasn't anything good. I got swimsuit Walder, but it was a Rare (R?) so I guess that's not anything special.

I don't know yet if I care enough to do rerolls or not. How long would it be before the next event that's good for rerolls, Christmas or something?

It gets really streamlined once you get used to it, all I did was follow the guide on a wiki.
granblue-wiki.com/index.php/Rerolling
You also get a free roll every day because summer event, and a character weapon draw on the second day as a beginner, might be worth it to go back to the rerolled accounts for the extra two rolls. Going back to roll on an account I made yesterday is how I actually rolled my dark SSR Jannu

...

Yeah, you can do some interesting stuff with Lunalu, because you can effectively double cast sometimes, but it all depends on your team comp. At least you can be happy to get a limited dude; they won't come around again for another year.


Fuck rerolling. I rerolled a ton when deresute came out last year. Not fucking worth it.

Okay, farming the starred Angel Halo got me a Rusted Axe, what should I do with it and should I even bother with it, I just hit rank 30.

Also, Angel and Archangel weapons are just EXP fodder, right?

Yes they are exp fodder, save the Axe, you will need to fully uncap and level it to be later used either as bahamut weapon or in gw weapon process

Are rusted weapons special? I got a rusted spear and if I level/uncap it to max will it turn into something good? What are bahamut and gw weapons?

rusted weapons are the prerequisite to bahamut weapons, guild wars weapons are weapons that you can only get from gw fully upgrading it unlocks a character

Bahamut offer atk/hp boost depending on race
So yes leveling them gives you something good, but the entire proces for both gw and baha is long

Bump

I want Naru to bump up and down on my dick

I feel like an old man trying to learn about technology.

what's the issue user?

SAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

When does Guild Wars end, anyways?

Guild War ends in just a couple hours.

Just getting overwhelmed by the game mechanics and lingo since i never played a mobile game before.

I'm also confused about class/char picking, like Dark Fencer sounds good for solo content but not sure what other classes/chars are good picks for beginners.

I usually just pick thick milf supports whenever i play online games but i'm not sure if that's viable or possible on this kind of game.

I'v checked, it ends in 11:59 JST.

That's an hour and 50 minutes away.

So, I rolled Proto-Bahamut. He any good?

SOIYA SOIYA


If there's any terms specifically you're not sure about, feel free to ask! If you check the pastebin in the OP, there's a link to a guide that'll help you out a ton.

Dark Fencer is a class that you'll probably want to get and master asap, as it helps you survive things. Beyond that, it's really up to your play style and what kind of party you want to make. Eventually you'll want to master all the classes though as they give you permanent stat boosts to the main character.


Proto-Bahamut is the default summon they always give you. Better than an R summon but you'll probably want to replace him as soon as you're able.

Dark Fencer is always useful, even in endgame raids because you need at least one person to cast gravity/mist once in a while
As for other classes, Hawkeye is more dps and boost of loot rate, Superstar is support with buffs(and with Guild War harp it also heals), the "tank" class whose name I forgot has a skill phalanax which is a damage cut, also fantastic, Sidewinder can apparently deal crazy damage, most classes on tier3 are solid

FUCKING DIE
DIE
DIE
DIE DIE DIE
DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

:^(

Well, is it Bahamut or Proto-Bahamut? There's a big difference.

If it's the SSR Bahamut, then congrats. You've got one of the best summons in the game.

Is it 90k crystals for 300 cerulean sparks?

I'm think of not spending any crystals even if it's legfest right now.


Calm down, buddy.

You might kill him for real.

yes, 90k crystals is 300 rolls, what do you want to save for?

Yes, 90k crystals is 300 sparks. 300 pulls, 300 cryystals a pull. 300*300=90000

Good luck saving up that many.

Thanks for the info niggas, i'll focus on Dark Fencer and just pick the other classes on the fly.

Also i just realized amira is on this game, i imagine she's really hard to get or a cash only char.

Good question.

All of the SSR story characters, Forte, Dark Jeanne, Heles, Amira, Silva and Magisa.


I wonder if i should just blow my load of crystals now.

Already used up all my tickets.

She's an SSR character that isn't limited, so you'll always have a chance of getting her whenever you draw from the gacha. She's pretty great, arguably my best character.


If there's a summer character you want, then go for it. Otherwise wait a day and pull during the legfest that starts tomorrow.

Isn't tomorrow the 31st, and it'll still be summer then? Unless I fucked up and I have to roll for summer now.

The game goes by Japan time. It'll be the 12:00am on the 31st in less than 1 hour. The new legfest starts at 7pm JST on the 31st, which is in about 20 hours.

do it for the tits (and the summon that is fucking great for any waifu element)

yeah that's a great summon, but DEFEND ORDER IS FUCKING SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

Thanks for the times, JST is an hour fast from where I'm from, so I can still roll the summer legfes tomorrow when I wake up, as long as it's before 7pm JST, right?

She'd be a great dark summon if I didn't already have Bahamut


You should be able to, yes.

you also have 4 summer narus :^]

So, how do you get to the Dark Lancer class? Is it mentioned in the pastebin anywhere? Am I just a lazy fuck?

*dark fencer

just fucking kill me

Did you check the requirements?

…I didn't even notice there was more than one selectable row.
I think being awake for 30 hours has fucked my brain up really hard, send help

BULLSHIT

the zenith abilities have blood sword that gives you drain for 3 turns (pretty shit honestly)

My ID is MisterBones, by the way. Looking for a guild invite.

Your ID is a number on your profile.

ID: 12835090 Here's some porn as an apology.

I want to hug Fenrir

...

Bump

So, whatcha get from free roll?

R summon of course

Summer Lunalu. That makes four dark characters.

She has a 'body heat' mechanic.

How is the guild fags?

meme rolls are still memes i want summer potatolu

Invite me to crew ID Griff

Thanks just got my ship

12879751

God, why can't Cygames just make her a playable character already?
I'd actually consider spending money to get her if she were available

I'm going to hold off on my daily pull until 7pm JST when the swimsuit characters are out of the gacha.

...

I wasn't planning on rerolling, but of course I had to draw a man. Who the fuck would play a crappy gacha game and have a man in their party?

Time to go read that guide on rerolling I guess.

Who did you draw?

Everyone gets the ranger if that's who you mean.

Walden. On further inspection I'm pretty sure I'm just a triple retard and thought that the scripted draw in the tutorial was a real draw.

indeed you are trips don't lie but hey chin up here have a loli

Yeah, everyone always gets Walder. No need to reroll yet

I've been slowly working on a few rerolls now and again throughout the past few days. My best account so far I got two SR weapons with characters, J.J. and Therese.

Since I kind of want to just play the game, is this an okay enough start?

we should put that bit in the OP

I admit to being disappointed when he first showed up as well. Knowing it's a fixed roll would help that.

So I just got an athena, I'm pretty happy.

Athena is pretty amazing, congrats. If you decide to play as a Holy Saber then your Phalanx skill will stack with Athena's damage cut and you'll negate all damage for a single turn.

let the grind to mlb it begin

If you decide to start rerolling after your later rolls, here's what I started doing since the guides weren't working word for word for me:

Bookmark game.granbluefantasy.jp for easy access.

1) New Incognito Window. Make sure to close any other Incognito Windows open so the cookies destroy themselves.
2) Go to bookmark and start a New Game.
3) After you input your name and the movie starts, change your URL - it will say ../#tutorial/3, and you'll want to change the number to 4. This will let you skip the Tutorial.
4) Keep changing the number, adding one at a time (4 to 5 to 6 etc), until you reach ../#tutorial/12.
5) At 12, click Skip, then click OK. You should now be at 14.
6) Go to 32. This will redirect you to the Authentication page.
7) Click Mobage. In the next page, the very bottom text field is where you put in your e-mail to register, underneath the social media buttons. Enter your e-mail as (email)[email protected]/* */ I don't know if any other providers work like this, but I think you can also use temporary e-mail addresses if you don't mind the extra step of effort. Click the green button.
8) The next page wants a confirmation code. Go to your e-mail; you should have received an e-mail instantly. If you didn't, check your Spam inbox. Enter the four-digit number and click the green button.
9) On the next page, from top to bottom: Username (doesn't need to be unique), Password, Password (Again), Gender, DoB in Y/M/D format (I don't know if it's required but I've been filling it out). The next checkbox is to make your age "hidden" on your Mobage profile. The second checkbox is probably a ToS agreement or something, I've been ticking it. Click the green button.
10) On the final page, the first checkbox links your current Granblue profile to the Mobage account, so leave it checked. The second is about sharing that you've added it on your Mobage profile or something like it; shouldn't matter, but I've been unchecking it. Click the green button.
11) Granblue will flip its shit. Click "Begin From Tutorial".
12) Enter your name again, and you'll be booted to the Top page.
13) START
14) You should now be at tutorial 30. Click Skip twice to ignore Walder's dumb ass, and then click Mobage again to correctly link the accounts.

You're now in the game with a new account!

15) Click My Page twice to skip the event videos. Click Draw on the Free 10 Draws pop-up, because it will nag you any time you go to My Page if you don't. Either Draw or Cancel from the Gacha page; it'll nag you every time you go to the Gacha page if you don't. Click My Page when you're done.
16) Click Town on the right side of the screen. Click all of the sparkles on this page for the items, and then click them again in the following order for a free ticket: Top, Left, Right, Middle.
17) Go to bookmark. Scroll all the way down until you see a banner that says, "Use serial codes here to get loot!" It has a picture of Seriokarte, the shopkeeper, on it. Click that banner.
18) Enter j5pa mkru 2vcx 4cr8 and Send Code, then Close. Enter yrwg yv8m cck2 wcbf and Send Code, then Crate.
19) On your Crate page, click Pick Up All, then Pick Up. Instead of closing the final window, click the Draw ticket bar, then Draw, to go to the Gacha page slightly faster.
20) I don't know exactly what draws you should be doing. All I've read is the free 10-pull Premium draw is fixed, so I've been doing the free 1-pull Premium, the 2 tickets, the 1 free Rupie pull, the 10-pull Rupie, and the 2 JDA tickets.

If you don't like this account, then close the Incognito windows and start from the top, except this time use (email)[email protected]/* */

I have really slow Internet so it takes me about 8 minutes all in all, which I guess isn't too bad.

what does that mean, I just started a few days ago and barely have any idea what I'm doing


I was going to go for a dark fencer or Valkyrie because I liked their outfits, but I'll give that a look.

max limit break aka level it to 3-4 stars

I got my first SSR from rerolling!

…Oh…

Looks like a keeper.

She has her uses. Her third skill stacks with Phalanx and allows you to negate all damage for a single turn. She's currently on my light team specifically for that purpose.

is she really bad?

She's not awful but she's not a very good character to start with. If people are going to be rerolling then they should be aiming for either the very rare summons (Lucifer, Bahamut, Grand Order) or a character like Yodarha.

I got a character in the draw, but for some reason they don't appear in any of the Party screens. Do you need to do something to the weapon to use them?

Nope, don't need to do anything special. If you got a character then they should appear in the Inventory->Characters tab.

Are you sure you didn't get a summon instead?

Can't stop listening to Luminiera Omega's theme.

Send help.

Finally, i was able to leave the crew.

Send me an invite.

Question, I'm just learning about upgrading and uncapping weapons and I have 2 composite bows. I can use one to uncap the other but I cannot use one to upgrade the other.

If you have 2 of the same weapon, are you only allowed to use one to uncap the other?

Oh well, I need warrior for hawkeye anyways

Still learning about weapons myself, been using this, maybe will help you too: gbf-english.proboards.com/thread/595/weapon-summon-optimisation-progression

If you use the weapon up, does it remove the character? I get the terrible feeling I used it as upgrade fodder somehow.

Once you get the weapon, even if you fodder it your character doesn't go away. Don't worry about it.

welp
Did I do good?

Yes, you did good. She's a highly desired character.

Holy shit fuck this fight

jealous

Seconded. Any stats you can let me know? Are things off the ground yet?

...

> 9 R, 1 SR, as expected

Got jack shit from the 10-roll. Anyone know the consensus on single rolls, if they're worth it or not? The singles meme never worked for me in F/GO

I did 5 single rolls out of desperation, it's not worth it. It's better to blaze through the quest for more gems to get another 10-roll.

What's the best way to get more crystals without succumbing to the asian jew? Quests can only get me so far.

By the way, add me to the crew. ID: 12817032

I seriously hope you guys checked your mails


Fate episodes :^) also invited

Is Ghandaghoza any good? He looks kind of fuckin' cool.

How do I whale for monkey without my friend getting pissed that I spent so much money on a mobile game?

You can usually get a decent amount of crystals if you participate in events and bet during guild wars.


I don't know how useful of a character he is, but story-wise he's amazing. Fixes the Grandcypher's engine by just punching it, kek


You can either make a new account during a legfest and use the start dash ticket to pick her, or you can spend enough money to get 300 sparks (seriously don't do this) and then you can pick her that way.

I'm rank 80 and I'd only be spending around 200$. I'm pretty sure my friend would hate me forever if I dropped that much money on a mobile game, though.

I'd hate you forever too, for what it's worth.

Guess I'm waiting until the end of year then.

Leaving a crew and joining a different one takes 2 days.

Oh shit I didn't know

granbluefantasy.jp/pages/?p=9525

Gacha changes in six hours for part 2 of legfest.

The SSR, SR, and R are all water. In addition, limited earth SSR Ayer is going to be re-added to the gacha permanently.

Is it just me or have a ton of these SR event characters been water?

There's been Sig, Morphe/Phobe, Jin (IIRC) and now this Bara.

The SR event character is Barowa, fire.

These are the new gacha characters.

I think Cygames has been trying to make up for the lack of water characters in general. Water went a very long time without getting any new characters.

Oh, just wait until the endgame story, Mithra, Malice Primals, Fressia, FUCKING AKASHA
FUCK THAT SHIT
FUCK THAT SHIT
FUCK THAT SHIT

the only time you whale is start dash and su[rise ticket, and MAYBE Anchira alternate outfit if you roll her, please don't waste money on regular rolls

shrug

That's absolutely adorable. What is this game, and how do I play?

Also, I need sauce on whatever the fuck this image is from. Back in the late 90's, I had a sampler disc for pc that had some music videos, and this weirdo with the pube grenades was in one of them. It's burned into my memory ever since.

I hate you

a F2P mobile/browser game with gacha(as in roll premium in game currency or buy that currency) for characters, if you are disgusted by that type of game, it's okay, I'll post penguin to make it up for you

get on my level, ele

I know Japan can't into computer but this is a bit over the top isn't it?

I am disgusted by that type of game. Please post penguin.

to clarify, it's a cute girl piloting a penguin suit

I use Firefox for the internet but keep a Chrome tab open to play the game. So far it has been working fine.


For what it's worth, I haven't invested a single penny into this game and I still have a good time.

That is also fine.

that's good, her japanese name is ペンギー
which was translated as "Pengy"(or Pengi), so feel free to browse more on pixiv or boorus, have a nice day

...

...

I'm a privacy autist so I can't stand Chrome.
AH well its only for one webpage, here I go.

Don't do it, man!

...

and that is all I saved, after that pixiv only has pics of the penguin robot from X1

...

Hope I get her when I do my pulls tonight. I main Light, but I kinda enjoy playing my Water team.

Spended all my crystals and all I got is 2 SR characters and 3 SSR summons. Just fuck my shit up

My Id for invite: 12311005

Get grip

Which summons did you get?


Should be instantaneous…

Man why did I send this so early
Also:

The advanced shitposting tech is too much for me.

I managed to play without making an account

Wait lemme guess. Can I avoid making an account if I get it by the Google Chrome app?

I didn't try the chrome app. I just used my phone.

Well duh
In which case, I'm happy to inform you that you probably just jumped a hurdle, because Browser players need to make a mobage account.

Prometheus, Gilgamesh and Nezha

I'd like to be in the guild. ID:12305322

Scouted, check your mail.

So I've been dumping my EP into the Celeste Omega raids, and I've been getting SR weapons and just got pic related. The SR's will make up the weapon grid, right?

You can use SRs for the time being since they're plentiful and you'll easily be able to uncap them, but eventually you'll want to have a weapon grid filled with SSRs like pic related.

It can be a bit of a pain, but it's oh so worth it when you start getting 100k+ auto attacks.

You max uncap the summon and equip it for bonus to celeste weapon skills.
Theres the catch, all sr weps from chev and celeste are hp up, not atk up, so they are complete garbage, ssr or bust in case of light and Dark, other elementy can use sr
The collab that begins tomorrow should have a Dark ssr weapon, weps from collabs are reffered to as unknown and their skills have a different modifier than magna weapon, pray the unknowns are atk up and you will use them for a long time

Let's see them party members, Holla Forums.

Quit showing off your full SSR light team you fugger

Naru, Beatrix, ssr Rosetta, SR Danua, Lucius. How much did you spend on that team?

I didn't choose the light life, it chose me


Spend as in money? $0. I just got lucky with gacha pulls. But it's the team I invest all my time into now.

I want to like Danua so much, but she's a creepy titty loli who is a one-trick nuke pony,

Also her storyline where she wants to fucking stuff the souls of her dead parents into dolls and everyone in the crew is okay with this, like what the fuck.

Fuck you I dont believe you, you have entire ssr team, I cant get even one Dark ssr for half a year. This isnt fair

...

Rerolled so much I got banned ayy lmaoo

They ban the IP from rerolling in a certain amaount of times. If you have a proxy you can reroll again.

Iirc the ban is temporary

Believe it, I've just been very fortunate. My first month of playing (March) I rolled Amira/Sophia/Ferry so I decided to play light. Didn't get another light SSR until this month, where I got two light summer characters.

If it makes you feel any better I have hardly any other SSRs on my other elemental teams though Yodarha is on most of them

Inventory management is getting really annoying, can I just feed away all the R drops from the gacha/quests, since the Omega drops are just better?

Also forgot to mention that if I were a whale then I'd have light Jeanne D'arc on my team ;___;

Yes. Normal and R drops should always be fodder for other weapons. Eventually you'll even use SR weapons as fodder.

How many chips you got?

47, what's the best way to win lots of chips?

Poker.

I'm not really good at this

For you newer players, be sure to check out the new event. You can get to it by clicking on the tab on the home menu. It's a good way to get some free crystals, and you can get a free SR character if you max out his loyalty (just use him in battles until you hit 100%)


Around 4.5mil, had about 11mil earlier this month but I buy all the animas every day and that can get pretty expensive.


Just slowly work your way up until you can play 1000 chip poker. You'll be rolling in chips if you can get a few good hands in that.

Patience, slowly work your way up.

I kinda wanted one of the new water characters… At least they're permanently added to the gacha.

Perhaps you should consider saving 90k crystals.

30 rolls and the only things worth mentioning are a Grani pull and Chat Noir.

I didn't even want this faget.

that's because you have to devote yourself to the waifu element (dark)

Can someone explain how to minmax the shit outta the weapon grid? If have a dark main, does it matter what element the 9 sub weapons are or do I just choose the strongest regardless?

Second, do sub weapons skills make a difference or is it only the main weapon that uses the skill? The game doesn't make this very clear.

if you have a dark main you get weapons that have dark damage up and seems to be similar to your main weapon

i'll be more precise let's say you are a arms master you wanna punch shit and refill your ougi every 5 turns your weapon pool should try to have dark axes and swords since you get a 20% more damage and hp from any of them (preffered weapons) also you should have 1-2 mysterious dark dmg up skills since the damage they provide is calculated later 1 bahamut weapon depending on race and shit and if you have a lot of one type of weapon a celestial weapon

if you want to commit to dark without whaling chin up and grind the shit outta celeste and cry while not getting her axes if you whale like the faggot you are get the dark spear from the gold/silver moon shop fill your weapon pool with it and get hades summons

I appreciate the effort but you didn't explain it very well.

So all weapons in your pool do stack their skills with each other? Even weapons with same skill? This also goes for weapons with two skills, I guess?

Yes, Weapons with the same skills stack.

everything stacks but might use different multipliers, I don't know the details but take this example with grain of salt

I'm a retard, please give me the answer to the locked door.

which puzzle is it?

The triangle puzzle.

These two are adorable.


Brute force, if you can't figure out the count. Read the hints at 2:00 and 1:00. Extra hint: The last number is two digits.

Didn't expect this event to turn all Layton, but damn it's fun.

wait, I just got there, just count the triangles
ALL OF THEM

2 5 13

buuuu, you are no fun

That's fucked up, the picture of the lock has only 3 number slots, so I assumed it was only 3 numbers from 1-9.

Goddamn it.

we are playing granblue we are not here to have fun :^]

Just started yesterday. The game's pretty fun. Here's my ID:12875576

Well I'm quite certain this was planned

> Ozawa Ari playing the cute assistant to the great mangakadetective
I think so too, user

Anyone got their hands on the Treant summon yet?

What does the "blow" effect do?

probably something lewd

joking i don't know yet

What was the solution to the triangles puzzle in the event? The one with the diamond, the triforce, and the fucked triangle.
I thought it was 2-5-10, counting all the triangles, but it kept telling me that was wrong.
And its bothering me not knowing what the answer actually was.

user, it's been posted here alrady

granblue-wiki.com/index.php/Nezahualpilli#Base Sprite


Any good? Or should I keep re-rolling for a better waifu

My bad, I'm an idiot who can't read.
But also, 13? I did not see 13 triangles…

he is a great windmeme (he's a good guy who breaks 1M damage on break keep bird guy)

the god of windmeme element, THE damage deal(other option being Siete, a gw character)
keep

the event boss is a huge douche fuck him

Rare Volenna daily and SR Jasmine from a SR draw ticket. Gonna miss the free daily draw when it ends.

Protip for new players: As soon as you unlock the Casino (I think it's around story chapter 8) then be sure to buy your daily allotment of half elixirs and soul berries everyday. You'll need about 25k chips a day iirc which is pretty easy to get if you can play 1000 chip poker.


Moreso than the free daily draw, I'm going to miss the extra 120 crystals we get daily.

...

...

...

...

I'm saving that 90k even if it kills me

As will i.

Shit's gonna take months though.

It'll be worth it in the end, you are bound to roll SOMETHING with 300 rolls and then at the end you can spark what you were really after

So how many crystals have you saved?

I got 7110.

That's not Hourglass at all. They are too big on top. It is more like and stupidly big boobed dwarf.

I'll start saving after this legfest is over

...

>This app is incompatible with all of your devices
I hope it works

Enjoy the lewdness

Also Liruru is arguably the best water support character, congrats.

...

Finally got dark fencer. Once I get more cheese pizza I'll work on weapon master then hawkeye

Hit level 10 DF today, I've come to understand how useful messing with boss diamonds can be and am eagerly anticipating magneto powers. My best weapons are a pair of spears, so may look at Holy Saber and let Forte to the killing.

So, going off the way the uncap system for summons works… You need to get super-rare gacha drops 4+ times to fully unlock their power? How the fuck do I see so many level 140 Bahamuts?

you can trade for generic items to uncap summons, of course the items for SSR summons are a bit expensive

Pretty much. You can also use a rare stone to uncap them but in order to do that you have to do well in Guild Wars.

All this re-rolling autism is killing me.

I don't understand re-rolling, and I'm fairly sure I don't want to.

Same. I tried rerolling a past game and ended up annoyed and never got beyond the start.

You would have more luck saving up 90k gems, spending them on legfest with a possibility of getting an SSR with those 300 summons, while getting 300 sparks so you could pick a character of your choice

That sounds nice but since i'm new to the game i'm banking everything on getting a good SSR waifu to keep me motivated enough to reach endgame.

Well you better start quick since there's an event that gives you a free SR fire character

Just hit chapter 8, story is alot more fun than I was expecting. Am I doing okay so far?

well, I've just started not too long ago, throwin the ID in here for an invite to the crew i suppose.12872848 been just playing through most of the random events that are timed for drops to uncap the level's of my little group of waifu material, sadly only gotten a single SR that wasn't a main story character.

You're doing fine, keep at it.

been re-rerolling for the past 2 hours

Well at least i'm starting to get some SSR and not just rosamia.

If possible go to the current event page involving the detective so you could get your free SR so you could start on his loyalty. Progression-wise you seem to be doing fine. I'd recommend working on getting the Dark Fencer class ASAP like everyone else, Miserable Mist is too good to pass up, Hawkeye is fine too though.

Scouted


I would have quit rerolling or playing at 10 minutes holy shit

I'm up to my 50th reroll since I started a couple of days ago. I got an SSR on one account but it's an SSR considered on the lower tiers. Other than that, I've got about 5 SRs across my accounts disregarding the freebie fixed one from the free 10-pull you get.

It's pretty shitty, but I don't like the idea of going into a game so heavily reliant on luck to gain relative advantages, and as shown by my above numbers where SSRs are apparently currently 6%, I have pretty bad luck.

Does anyone know the solution to the triangle puzzle in this event? I'm sure it's 2, 5 and 12, right?

Do the events and grind tokens. If you daily raid grinds you eventually save enough tokens to trade in for ssr's too.

I'm getting close to giving up on rerolling. I mostly wanted either one of the Big Three or some awesome husbando, instead I got fucking De La Fille dumb fruit titties or whatever

When you're this early into the game you can pretty much do whatever you want and it'll still be fine.

Though, you should make sure to get free event characters and max their loyalty so you get to keep them when the event is over.

2,5,13

just noticed, when i checked my profile page for the ID, do the groups you're in mean a difference? I'm in Group F if that means anything.
Also holy shit, that raid i started almost went horrible, thank you random japanese people for bringing in level 100+ people to nuke down the 30 tiamat, i mean i think i lasted awhile in the fight, i had 1000 points and placed second out of the 8 people who joined, but god damn if that dark knight didn't almost double my score in half the time.

they have something to do with Angel Halo dungeon times, but I never cared enough to check it. What REALLY matters, especially because of the collab starting in the few hours, is your schedule for Defend Order battles, the exact time(jap timezone) is written in the news 2nd tab. You enter defend order on the 2nd screen on your main page(the town screen) when you see the symbol for it

Oh hey i'm in group F too

Jesus Fuck poker destroyed me, do you guys keep doubling up or what?

Yes, play High-Low and know when to quit. Just keep at it, you'll come out ahead eventually.

anyone else autistic enough to contemplate making 6 of each of the guild character weapons
send me a crew invite ID:12014165

Scouted, check your mail

Actually, it's better to just go and try the whole 10 rounds of double up as best you can. The payoff is larger than if you win frequently but quit early.

The only downside to this method is you have to spend at least an hour or so doing this. Watch a show or listen to a podcast or something while you grind it out.

You'll get a bigger payoff, but if you draw an 8 when you've got 300k+ chips then it's probably a good idea to just cash out and hope for better luck on the next pot.

I made it this far by following this advice.

I am so close to getting Christina i can taste it.

But i wonder if i should wait for the Casino skins first.

no

NO

NONONONONONONONONO

NO

YOU

RETARDED

FUCK

The only time you should ever cash out is if you are in serious jeopardy of being unable to continue to play 1K hands.

Okay, so the 8 represents the midpoint. 2-3-4-5-6-7 are below it, 9-10-J-K-Q-A are above it. That's six numbers on each side, right? So it's 50/50 odds, right?

NO

IT

IS

FUCKING

NOT

In double-up, you're not necessarily attempting to "win" every hand - merely "not lose" is sufficient. Why? Because double-up has >50% odds on any number other than 8 to double your cash (because you have perfect information on the odds) the game has positive payout. Therefore, you want to play as much as possible, unlike in real-world casinos where the odds are stacked against you so you want to quit while you're ahead.

This means a "tie" result, should you draw an 8 into an 8, is a "win". If you stop playing on an 8, you get the money on that bet alone, and throw away every other possible double in the chain, possible doubles that are overall positive statistically.

So it's actually 7:6 odds that you get a "positive" result on an 8 - six chances for you to win, six chances for you to lose, and one chance for you to keep playing a game that is net positive for you.

The ONLY time it is literally a break-even is if there is exactly one double remaining before you have to stop anyways, either by the 10-play limit or the maximum pot limit, so overall just

PLAY EVERY FUCKING DOUBLE UP

Rerolling is a really short term gain. This game is built to take a lot of time. You'll reach the same result through grinding pretty quickly. The only thing I can recommend rerolling for is the initial paid set when exclusive characters are up. But they all eventually go into the main draw after a few months-a-year anyway. They were sued for having exclusive characters not being made available a while back, which is a breach of jpn hambling laws

Thanks!

It was a fucking queen. I though it was going to be low but no it's a fucking ace

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'd still take steady progress over risking it all for the big payout.

You have hardly any information. It's a digital game and it's rigged.

That's poker for ya.

Ring a ding ding, baby.

Make it the next thread OP pic. People need to know of my suffering.

You know what nevermind, no one needs to know about my despair

Feel free to accept suboptimal income, then. Not everything in life needs to be minmaxed but this cancerous mockery of a card game for potions and useful ingame items should be, because it is a fucking blight upon the rest of the game.


The pokerbot makers of old (it's dead now because now cygames actually has real bot detection that isn't a captcha) compiled to show how accepting minimum amounts "to be safe, slow, and steady" drastically hurt the bot's income in the long run. (For what it's worth, the bot could be programmed to do this style of play if you really fucking wanted to for some reason, but the default was set to play until completion for a reason.) If you can't trust a program that literally tested tens of thousands of hands, I don't know what to tell you.

They also ran the data on bingo. Guess what, the games if anything are rigged in favor of the player, now quit your bitching about your luck being shit or the game being rigged and play to get your ingame goodies, y'know, the actual part of the game that matters.

So you want us to play like the pokerbots (and probably for as long) so we can then go play the regular game?

Do you not see why that kind of logic is sorta silly?

I think i'm going to stick with this SSR roll, is Korwa a good pick?

Anat, Christina, casino skins, pots, pills, SR LB mats don't come from anywhere else. Either you get those or forever remain a second-class citizen. It's a hellish fact but if you want the good stuff, you got to spend some time in the mines… but it's best to spend the least amount of time in the mines as possible.


Are you being retarded on purpose?

You'll be the envy of many.

Cross your fingers you'll roll more wind characters down the road though, and start planning for a grid of wind weapons. Luckily, it's the easiest to build.

Korwa is an S-tier buffer. She's so good that people are able to shoehorn her in off-element and she still does okay. Because of this, she is definitely worth starting with.

She is, however, a weird and non-intuitive character. She has a very specific rhythm to follow and must be treated like the princess she is, or else she'll be worse than useless.

You absolutely cannot ougi early with her.

Put her in the 4th position. She's much harder to make work any further up in the team as she NEEDS to be fed ougi meter "upstream" to ougi reliably.

Let her charge up to 9 or 10 fil. Use skill #2, the red one, which costs 4 fil. Wait until you have 9 or 10 fil again. Use skill #1, the black one, so now you're down to 7 or 8 fil. At your stage in the game you should definitely ougi now, but when you start getting tons of additional sources of team multiattack you can get greedy and wait one extra turn to go back up to 9 or 10 fil before ouging for increased numbers at the cost of 1 less turn you can "miss" the rhythm.

Skill 3 basically doesn't exist except in certain fights where she gets poked for tons of extra fil that you have to burn off somehow. In these fights you should gun for going off with 10 fil. Notably, you only need to go off with 10 fil once; you can then go off with less fil afterwards and the only thing affected is turn extension, not values buffed. If you somehow get to 100% meter with only 6 fil, go ahead and ougi anyways even though it's "only" 2 turns of extension.

It is suggested that your other three characters ougi individually whenever they're up, as the more regular individual ougis for 10% party charge become far more important than saving it up for the relatively piddling amount of bonus damage you'll get compared to sustaining Korwa's buffs.

You're freaking out over people playing poker conservatively versus playing like a fucking pokerbot

Meanwhile saying:

…Which is why your logic is kinda silly. Just play occasionally, and not brute force poker for hours on end. You only need about 25k chips to get your daily pots/seeds and the other shit (other than Anat) isn't nearly as important as you're making it out to be and can be gotten on an as-needed basis.

Are you from Reddit?

asanagi is proud of you

Are you saying "oh I can just moonwalk away with a 25K/day profit because that's all I need for the day"?

If you play for a short span each day you can buy your pots and pills for a day. We'll call it 5 minutes.

Or you can play for a half hour, maybe an hour to an hour and a half if you're unlucky, to earn a big win of over a million chips, and then not have to play for more than a month for pots and pills?

It doesn't normally take hours on end to get a million-plus payout. Sure, it definitely can, and you're probably one of those unlucky few who weren't able to get one quickly, but again, the data doesn't lie; the number of hands on average you play to see a big win (again, data from the pokerbot tenders) shouldn't take you "hours on end", even at human speed versus lightning fast bot speed. What you're literally arguing is some kind of Thoreau-tier "live deliberately" bullshit. Why play 5 minutes a day when you can play one hour and be rid of the game for a long time yet?

And as for stuff that's "as-needed", the monthly refresh stuff that's worth getting - the SR fodder, the R fodder, the SR summon LB mats, the SR weapon LB mats, and the animas of course… the animas run 140K a day iirc, or 4.2M for a 30 day month. The fodder is 3M a month. The LB mats are 7.5M a month. That's 14.7 million chips a MONTH of stuff that's a HUGE shot in the arm above and beyond just the pots and pills.

Or do you think that MLB carbuncles and increased income of scarce-as-hell weapon elements aren't necessary to play the game? Do you think that skill fodder isn't a severe limiting factor for people attempting to get buff and build their grids?

I get them pretty easily. It's not hard to win a 1mil+ pot. I wasn't even the one saying I was having difficulty getting chips if you go back and read the posts. I just know when to quit.

Considering gambling is unpredictable by nature, you're assuming a lot of things (namely being that you'll always get at most 25k/day playign 5 mins vs. always getting millions playing for an hour)

If you're wasting chips on buying Fury Stones/Pebbles then I'm beginning to see why you feel the need to amass large amounts of chips. You'll get more SR fodder than you know what to do with by farming magnas, which is shit you should be doing instead of playing poker.

The other things are admittedly more useful, but even then it's still on an as-needed basis. Not even much of a point in buying animas for a magna you normally would never run.

Literally what the fuck? Are you assuming that everyone has every carbuncle immediately and that it's a mad dash to mlb them as soon as possible? I've been playing since March and I'm still missing some elemental carbuncles. I know people that have been playing longer than I have that still only have the wind carbuncle. What you get from the gacha is fucking random

Bigger issue is getting enough weapons to fill their grids in the first place, which along the way by farming magnas they'll be getting plenty of fodder so this is a bit of a moot point

You assume time is the limiting factor here. Pots definitely do run dry at some point, or at least dry as in "I need to have this many pots to be ready for a must-run event should one arrive".


If you're still drawing every legfes, you don't know what element you may end up rolling and completing a team worth working on. Buy the animas now or be embarassingly shorthanded when the time finally does come. Let me tell you I was fucking glad to have 300 animas "of a magna I'll never run" this magnafes after finishing a team last legfes.

Also, magna trading. Gotta have some "useless" animas to do that with.


They're SRs. If you're doing a healthy number of 10-pulls, odds are you're gonna get some in the long run.


Uh, fucking yes it is? Having an MLB buncle is often the difference between being able to clear a raid or have no chance at it whatsoever. MLB is literally the difference between a wasted summon inventory slot and an integral prerequisite to victory.


Bahas are a fucking black hole of fodder consumption, and slevels 10-15 when you get there are no slouch either. The average player is not drowning in skill fodder.

Yes, if you play the game more casually, you will not desperately need anything in the casino besides maybe Anat and the pots and pills. But the truth of it is that if you want to stomp the gas past a certain point, you have to tackle the casino.

Seriously, half your arguments are some limp-dick doomsaying shit about "oh it's fucking RNG so what's the point anyways, just take it easy". I'm saying that maybe if you don't wanna take it easy, or if RNG is being nice enough to you to give you a fast track avenue - then yes, you'll want to casino, and if you're going to casino, you're going to want to do it in the most efficient way possible.

And then there's little contrarian you, whining "but you don't HAVE to play poker like a bot, playing suboptimally and wasting your overall time on that hellscape of an activity is perfectly fine, and it's fine because unlike other people, I know when to quit!"

I don't even have anything more to say to that, I'm just gonna let that little summary of your sad little kvetching sit there by itself for other people to read and benefit from as an example of "what not to do if you want to power up".

What's that "order of the lord" event, can i join or do i need to actually be at a decent level to participate on events?


I didn't get like half of that post but i'm writing it down for future reference, thanks mang.

Holy shit this event unit kicks ass. Thank god I pulled Lunalu so I can use the same skill at the same turn

I don't hit my caps daily and I'm still drowning in SR fodder from magnas. Even when there's no legfest you'll be getting plenty of SR fodder.

New players won't even be able to host Magnas so it's a bit of a moot point again.

Then find someone who wants to farm the same shit you do.

It's still random. As I said, I know people who have still only been able to get the wind carbuncle.

I was referring to the hypothetical situation (since that's all we've been doing) of everyone starting with every elemental carbuncle, but I guess I didn't get that point across very well. You should still only focus on maxing carbuncles you'll actually use, and you won't be getting them all at the same time.

And by that point in the game you should have stashes of SR fodder to use.

k
you'll still be the dude who had a nervous breakdown at the thought of people playing poker in smaller bursts and conservatively


It's a Lord of Vermillion event, you can click on the tab to learn more about it. This one is a Defense Order type of event so it'll happen at certain times. Events are usually pretty easy so lower level players can participate too.


Yeppers, Barawa's bluff skill is totally RNG but pays off pretty big sometimes. His R version is capable of doing it too, and you can even use Lunaru's facsimile skill to do it again sometimes.

Maybe if you actually played this fucking game you'd know those caps are weekly.

Seriously, the more you talk the more I'm sure you don't actually play this game.


I rolled an alt to host my main magnas within the week, it doesn't take long to hit that point.


please…


The fuck? That completely defeats purpose of magna TRADING, which is to host magnas you don't personally need to let another specific player MVP them, and then vice versa. This way you get MVP red chests past your own personal hosts-per-day and without having to fight angry pub hordes.

If you both want a magna, you're not going to TRADE them with each other. In fact, the LAST thing you want to do is be competing in a raid together. See, it's shit like this that makes me REALLY sure you don't play this game.


No, you've been doing weird-ass outlier hypotheticals, and I've been doing situations of what actually and realistically happens to people who play this game, because I've actually played this game and interacted with enough people to have a reasonable perspective on what the new player experience is like, a perspective you clearly lack because you probably don't even fucking play this game given your complete lack of knowledge on very basic facts.


Spoken like a man who has never taken a baha up even past slevel 3 before.

You need LITERALLY HUNDREDS of SR-equivalent to get one to ten. You need a healthy number of SSR fodder drops to combine with those SRs and those aren't that common either.


You confuse passion and enthusiasm with mental trauma. Stop projecting your own obvious RNG-induced trauma onto the people you're arguing with, it makes you look realllllly dumb.


The fuck?

Events are quite hard if we're talking about getting everything useful out of them, on many levels: requisite strength of party and pool, stamina in terms of potion and pill stockpiles, and raw autism to grind the same fights ad nauseum. The only thing easy about them is enough participation to farm out all the unique crystals for completion, beyond that the raids have some decent teeth and backbone to them. Defend Order is especially brutal on newer players due to its emphasis on long-term survival.

Until they have a half-decent magna SSR grid, newer players are probably best off snatching an event character to make them permanent and pretty much ignoring events otherwise in favor of just doing their best to get stronger in the long term.


It pays off so rarely it's a meme when it does happen. We're talking way, way, WAY less than a one in ten or even one in twenty chance, players have shot literally hundreds of Bluffs out before without seeing a multi-million hit. It can land a solid hit in the hundreds of thousands every so often, but the millions-high jackpot is a white whale of probability.

I was about to ask a question, but there's the answer. I guess I'll stop dumping my EP into treants for the event rewards. Back to leeching Celeste Omegas for me, I guess.

Indeed. The only real reason to grind a story event like this one is if the SSR summon is particularly notable. Most story event SSRs are not, thus giving players a "break" to go do other things like grind magnas or farm materials.

Was referring to daily raid caps, not weekly pendant caps. Don't even know why you brought that up?

So you're saying it takes a player who knows what they're doing a whole week before they can host magnas? Interesting. I wonder how long it takes a completely new player? ;^)

You can still trade via vice MVPs. We're speaking hypothetically here, of course.

"I'm not speaking in hypotheticals, only YOU are speaking in hypotheticals!"
lol k

No shit. You still need the SR fodder to rank up the SSR fodder you feed the bahamut weapon. You're seriously lashing out about things I haven't stated at this point.

This is getting nuts.

This is getting REALLY nuts.

I disagree, even getting a single event SSR summon/weapon can mean a world of difference power-wise for a completely new player. The other random items they get from the event gacha can be useful too. I never stated that getting everything is easy, as you seemed to be implying.

Whoa hang on.

Does this mean you feed SSR weapons with SR weapons and then feed them to another SSR weapon? Is this more effective than feeding SSR with another lvl1 SSR weapon?

Oh right, those caps! Didn't even think about those because the magnas will eventually be lacking animas, and hards aren't running into the cap at 25 AP each unless you're desperate for the animas for your primary element.


Even shorter than a week, because having a main account to play distracted me from my alt heavily and I didn't drink very many potions. If you chugged pots and played straight through on half AP you could probably get it done in two days, tops.


I'm saying your hypotheticals are retarded in how unlikely they are to apply to a given player. But please, feel free to keep making yourself look like an ass.


It's only nuts because I'm dealing with one.


Fucking what?

Story event SSR weapons are really meh compared to the power you can get from an MLB SR magna weapon (assuming you're playing one of the four central elements). They're much more valuable as skill fodder. Actually, that's about all they're valuable for.

And the story SSR summons usually come with a crippling drawback that often makes them very unappealing even if it represents having something over freaking Proto Bahamut. It's much easier and much more useful to simply grab a copy of your conquest summon (Ifrit, Cocytus, etc.) when it rotates in.

And none of this accounts for the relative difficulty of shaking an SSR out of the blasted gacha box in the first place when you don't have the power and resources to painlessly comb through the filler in the first place.

Yes.

An slvl SSR weapon is worth ten slvl1 SRs in terms of skill level increase. Feeding merely two SRs to an SSR gets you an slvl 2 SSR… which is now worth TWENTY slvl1 SRs in terms of skill level increase. It levels off eventually, but practical feeding of bahas involves a lot of slvled up SSRs.

Okay, cool.

How do fury stones play into this equation?

I have absolutely no idea what the two guys above are arguing about.

I'm too caught up with thinking about raising Yaia as my perfect daughter to care.
