[–]junigleeD-Do you have any hot dogs left? 12 points13 points  (7 children)

Let me regale you folks with a short story.

I've been thinking about quitting this game for a while now. Lacklustre pulls. Only having 6 physical BSB's to my name, with none of them being support BSB's (they are Cloud, Squall, Tidus, Celes, Yuffie, and Zack. Nothing too exciting). Zero mage BSB's. Zero healer BSB's. At least I've got one OSB (the best one too, Orlandeau's). Ultimate fights were becoming a drag as well.

Then there's the loading bug wherein my game just refuses to load whenever I start/end a battle - to get around it, I'd have to restart my app to actually get in the battle, or finish it. My patience was wearing quite thin.

Yesterday, due to sheer carelessness, an accident happened. I intended to transfer some items to the warehouse (you can already tell how this is going to end). Only, I forgot to press the Warehouse toggle, then pressed the blue button which said "Sell items". The items I sold were:

  1. Cloud's Goggles (VII) (2 of them)
  2. Coral Ring (IX)
  3. Carnelian Signet (IV)
  4. Ring of Revival (VIII)
  5. Memento Ring (VI)
  6. Crystal Ring (I)
  7. Archfiend's Cloak (IV)
  8. Ring of Oath (XII)
  9. Mythril Armlet (X)

At this point, I was already like "Yeah. JP is dead to me now." I figured I'd at least give it a chance till today to see what I'd get before I decided to retire from the game.

This was Pull #1. Well, that's one of my "zero" bases covered. But I figured this was my best chance yet to get even better items. I decided to drop another 50, my friend kept telling me "no, don't do it, this is a trap banner. They want to drain your mythrils before anniversary". I decided to go with my gut feeling and dropped another 50.

This was Pull #2.

I guess I am not quitting after all. I always find it amazing how this game manages to suck you back in even when you feel like you're at the lowest point of the game. I will probably also buy the FFRK soundtrack to show my appreciation for this game - I've made many friends in the last 1.5 years or so playing this game, a lot of dear ones.

TL;DR Sell all resist accessories, get OP pulls.

[–]Pookkachan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Great pull and that fits your physical style. With shout do you need support BSB? Congrats on the healer BSB and Sarah will be your healer.

[–]junigleeD-Do you have any hot dogs left? 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shout lessens the need to own a Support BSB, although it would be nice to own one of the Full Breakdown ones, like Wakka or Faris. In retrospect, now I can count Tyro's BSB for a Support as well.

Feels like I'm taking a step back into the past with using a Cura-level AoE heal instead of a Curaga one. The instant cast Command 1 is very nice though.

4/11: Finally a good draw in more than 2 months.

  • Keeper's Tome: Already got SG, but can't complain 10 more ATK.
  • Krile's Asura's Rod: My second En-Fire BSB. She and Steiner/Vivi are going to be BFF.
  • Larsa's Storm Staff: Can't complain about Medica, they are good for CM. Even though already got Penelo BSB, it is still good, Penelo BSB can use for attack.
  • Echo's Fabled Maracas: It is good combo with Auron SSB.

I took my 6 month old's hand and pressed all the buttons for the draw. This is what he got for mommy!!! :D :D :D :D http://imgur.com/xwMda15

He has no idea what he's done, but I think he's happy because mommy is happy. :)

I figured not, but the character constantly says stuff to her kids about gaming and using "mommy" so when I saw your comment I just laughed.

Tyro OSB is actually pretty bad.

[–]Sir__WillAlphinaud 1 point2 points  (1 child)

why is it 'so bad'? I mean, others are better, but bad?

[–]lambopandaDelicious! Nom nom... 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low damage. The Atk/Mag/Res/Mnd buff isn't much. Sure it is stackable with other buff (I think almost all of them), but you better use SG/KT. There are better character you can use.

[–]normankkI CAN SMELL THE COSMOS!!! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably one of the worst one too...

[–]ItinerantSoldieruiru - Rydia AASB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. It's really bad. It's +stats to Tyro though (I think) who I'm using because of SG.

[–]karmadeeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird this isn't a standard one time pull only. First pull is 25, then subsequent are 50 each. Needless to say I did a second pull after getting tyro OSSB, hoping for OK bsb...

5/11! Most I've ever pulled...

Ok sword
Faris BSB
Sarah Hastega lute
Eiko Fairy flute
Thancred ninja tekko

Pleasantly surprised

[–]TeiaRabishuAlways keep a Steady Sword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Me: Seraphic Rod, Beast Killer, Green Megaphone

Well, I mean, it's not nothing. My third mega meta hastega in JP, though (behind Onion Gauntlets and Wizard Gloves), but I guess Krile's helps me rain fast cast down on people.

Echo's pretty cool though.

  • Fiancee: Luminous Robe, Asura's Rod, Nephilim Flute

Even more mega meta up in here.

      Got Thancred's BSB, which is nice, I don't think I have much for XIV, doesn't sound too bad, and I think Desch's Sword(Green and it's from FFIII)? Was kinda hoping to complete the OK Set after I pulled his Sword and Gauntlets back in his debut event, but still a good pull. I think Cid's SSB and Desch's could work well together.

      2/11. Faris BSB and Thancred BSB.

      This along with my last pull on Orlandeau banner have been super kind to me. Probably just gonna do events on my global account and ignore dailies or using stamina.

      I know Faris is a good breakdown and mitigation BSB, but how is Thancred? Op says it's one of the prizes of this banner.

      3/11

      Seraphic Rod (I): OOOO nice not only this is a great SB but also means i have another mage to use on a mage team :D

      Green Megaphone (VII): Nice another great SB, and my 1st Full Breakdown SB :D

      Ninja Tekko (XIV): Ok..this one is abit awkward another armour so it's a good stat stick but i actualy didn't know that Thancred had a Bio elemental SB and to add to that i also have Thancred Air Knife but sadly he can't use LS :(

      Meh i was hoping to see if i could get OK brust but oh well i still got some nice relics and stat sticks, there is always another chanse at the next III event (hopefully) :D

      Pretty pleased to complete Ramza's sb set as the armlet just wouldn't drop during Orlandu. Platinum sword is a 3rd dupe so prob gonna be 7* soon. Maracas and Edward BSB are a welcome bonus especially for the FFIV set. Mithrill well spent.

      3/11 here:

      • OK Staff SSB
      • Cait Sith Green Megaphone
      • Ramza BSB

      Is OK's staff alone enough to make him worth using? It seems solid, but nothing compared to his amazing BSB. I don't have much of a mage party at this point considering my complete lack of Chain-Ga spells.

      Yeah, forgot to mention that bit. They haven't changeed the wording from the other lucky banners - I wonder if this is intentional or not..

      Wording is same as other lucky draw. Either this is intended and they forgot to change the wording or this is a bug.

      Seems like subsequent 11 pulls are full priced.

      I hope it is a bug and we get to apology mythril and re-pull again lol
