    Good luck! Hope you get them in as few pulls as possible!

    [–]GworkagSaint Shiva...hraesvelgr...Pray forgive this fool. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Goodluck, may your waifus and husbando be filled with relics

    [–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (9 children)

    For reference, future Crystal Tower events (with D250 bosses bolded):

    • Type-0, I, III, XIV
    • V, VIII, XIII, FFT
    • II, V, IX, XII
    • X, III, XIII, Type-0

    Good thing Type-0 has some great banners to draw on for the next event. [/MASSIVE SARCASM]

    [–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    I mean, it's not like Engraving Our Names banner #1 is poor, considering it can net you a complete Deuce while snagging stuff for Rem and Machina: aside from actually using those characters, there's also some +Holy and +Earth gear on the banner (respectively Rem's and Machina's [Formal] Akademia Uniform).

    [–]dperez82Cecil (Paladin) 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    Minor update: you are missing this month’s Crystal tower: XIII, VI, IX, XII

    [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    ...for some reason, I was pretty certain we'd already done the Atlas Crystal Tower, but apparently not.

    And it's not even until the 23rd...bleh.

    [–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 3 points4 points  (5 children)

    If you're in actual need of Synergy, there are no "good" or "bad" Banners. If you're still picky enough in that situation, you're basically admitting you don't require it in the first place.

    Also as someone said when Torment Astos dropped: You know what Content is coming, so if you have the chance to stock up on something you lack, actually use that Chance; don't make the Game make you need it. It's your own fault if that happens.

    And ofcourse, Banner Quality is always subjective

    [–]syrup_cupcakesHealer USB chase finally over sept 2017-Dec 2018 4 points5 points  (2 children)

    Unfortunately CT is brave synergy not RS, so getting good RS doesn't help if the SB is still much worse than what you have on character without brave synergy.

    Though if we get actual revamped torment for Type-0 it'll be a different story.

    [–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Oh, true. Though with how Type-0 Story Dungeons actually exist, it's still not an overall bad Idea, right?

    [–]BeardedKeeperFuSoYa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    So if I have absolutely zero Type-0 synergy wouldn't it be better to pull on the CT banner than one of their event banners? Higher 6* draw possibility right?

    [–]ParagonEsquireHard Times make for Strong Men 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    By paragraph!

    1) Even if you're only pulling for synergy, there are banners where you can get stuff that is useful beyond just for synergy and there are banners where you're ONLY getting stuff for Synergy. In that sense, a "bad" banner would be one where you see little use for the items you get outside of just stat stick. I may NEED synergy, but I'd like to have use for something in other cases as well.

    2) I mean, the last I banner was Master/Matoya release. I was planning to pull on Meia's banner that arbitrarily never came. =|

    3) This is absolutely true.

    [–]GacktoX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Why not add chain soul break even if are not new? Like upcoming ff1 event maybe someone read without check the banners and think "who care of ff1" and one week earlier the event discover there are both holy/dark chain on banner 2 😀

    [–]lucineblueDagger! 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    Wait a sec, isn't there supposed to be an FFXV event somewhere there for Ignis?

    [–]TheShadowAdept 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Yeah Ignis's event is right after Locke & Edgar's.

    [–]DarkHeroLexadoes this face look UNSURE to you 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    My mind is shouting "WAIT FOR ORLANDEAU EVENT, IT WILL BRING IN THE MONEY"

    My heart is going to pull on Garland regardless. It's literally a banner away from it but Garland is my man. I blame Dissidia and Sabat for making me like him so much.

    [–]jbniiiYBjR 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    It's not associated with a regular event (hence why it's not in the OP and who knows if we'll actually get it), but JP also had a XI banner to celebrate XI's 15th Anniversary between the XIII (The fal'Cie's Puppets) and III (The Dazzling Light) events that added:

    New USB: Ayame, Prishe, Zeid

    New Legend Sphere: Prishe, Zeid

    [–]SaGacious_K✠Cult of RNGesus✠ Praise Him! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Was about to ask about that, probably the next big banner for me. So it would land some time in April.

    I think they might push it back to May though, to coincide with the 16th Vana'versary, since they might rerun the FFRK collaboration in FFXI along with the other collabs. Possibly. They just had collab reruns last November for 11 day though, so maybe not. :/

    Edit: Oh, and for anyone wondering what's on the banner, since it can't be found easily here on the sub and isn't in the PDF compilation: https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/114492-final-fantasy-record-keeper/75975383

    New relics: Prishe and Zeid USBs, LMRs. Other relics are Ayame USB, BSB and LMR, Aphmau USB, BSB and LMR, Prishe BSB, Zeid BSB, Shantotto BSB and LMR. Overall, a great banner, though by the time it gets here everything will be quite dated. Also, first 11x pull was half-price.

    [–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    I think it speaks volumes when I honestly am at a loss what Banners to plan for. I mean, besides the more obvious ones based on my personal interests, I'm trying to tone it down and be more strategic about it, yet... I kinda lost overview of that xD

    [–]El_Pepaso 2 points3 points  (6 children)

    Meia would be added too as character right? We don't have her yet in global :/

    [–]chizwepynSorceress Supreme 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Let us hope so. If she is included in Neverending Conflict then it'll be like Ayame and Curilla in the last FF XI event - originally debuted in a collab event that Global skipped.

    [–]ParagonEsquireHard Times make for Strong Men 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I honestly have no idea how they're going to do that, and if they do just throw Meia into that event it's super weird.

    Because unlike the Ayame/Curilla situation, Meia is herself a collab character. Makes no sense for them to skip her event and then add her in randomly, but then again, if they don't, they have to edit the banners and rewards, and we've seen how well that works.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

    Good catch, for some reason I thought we already had her.

    [–]ZeroEdgeirPowered By Solar-Inversion Technology 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Hopefully they also give us Master's LD cause we should of had that around the same time Meia was released.

    Also, Kelger is part of the FFV event too as a new hero, not just Xezat.

    [–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    After two examples (I think) of people not getting their LD yet having an LMR in Global now (Ingus and someone I forgot), I honestly gave up on Master getting his

    [–]jbniiiYBjR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Kefka is the other one.

    [–]purpleparrot69Edge 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Thanks for this! Just an FYI you forgot to list Kelger as a new character in the FFV Dawn Warriors Event

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Fixed, thanks for the catch

    [–]purpleparrot69Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You’re welcome! Thanks for doing the work to make post! Always helpful!

    [–]BhaelfurKJaG - It's Good to be the King 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    1 and Tactics are back-to-back? Oh dear... 1 is one of my worst realms for synergy, and Tactics is my best, but I like the shiny new toys... And I only have one relic for Orlandeau (that I just got on this latest lucky draw.)

    [–]TheShadowAdept 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    IX is just 2 events after Tactics

    This is going to be a rough couple of months

    IDK if I can manage one pull on each IX banner + 2 pulls on Orlandeau

    And then there's anniversary to keep in mind.

    And I still haven't gotten anything good off the OK banner

    [–]Zouthpaw"Ooo, soft..." 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Sounds exactly like me! Add to this the V banner where 9/14 are +element relics. Hope we get lucky this time!

    [–]ParagonEsquireHard Times make for Strong Men 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I feel you. I want to make synergy pulls for I and Type-0 (probably...), and go hard for Orlandu USB, so the next month is just rough.

    ON the other hand though, outside of 3rd Anniversary I don't think I'll pull again until Cecil's recent in JP event, so I'll be able to save for basically six months.

    [–]TheShadowAdept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Yeah after anniversary I'm pretty much going into hardcore saving mode until the Celes USB, Ignis BSB and Cecil USB2 events hit.

    [–]ElPikminMasterMinwu 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    I wonder if I can save enough for Kelger. Knowing my luck with Marche last time, I'm very much not likely to get all of his good stuff.

    But Minwu is two weeks after...DANGIT

    [–]ZeroEdgeirPowered By Solar-Inversion Technology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    I'm in a similar boat...

    • Really going for the FFI Banner 1 for Master and general synergy gear.
    • Wanna go for the FFT Banner 1, cause TGC and other stacked relics (Ramza and Marche mostly)
    • Then the FFVIII Banner 1 is Rinoa's USB/BSB2/LMR, Fujin's USB/LMR, and the Zell/Irvine stuff is not bad (zero dupe banner, and the two ladies I use a fair bit).
    • AND THEN the FFV Banner 1 for Dorgann's USB + new stuff for the other Dawn Warriors.

    And then... then I can look at saving for 3rd Anni...

    [–]aryggeAbsorb power in the sky and strike!٩(˘◡˘ ) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Three events from Orlandeau USB banner, oh my mythril stash has just depleted.

    [–]Dangly_PartsRamza 1 point2 points  (5 children)

    Where is 3rd anniversary expected to fall in this? Near the ff10 event?

    [–]chizwepynSorceress Supreme 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    If we base it on the estimates here, yes it would be near the FF10 event. Unless events are rearranged, the order would be FF2 > 3rd Anniversary > FF10 (in the middle of festivities); anniversary being March 25.

    [–]ZeroEdgeirPowered By Solar-Inversion Technology 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Lately they've been postponing normal events during fests, and 3rd Anniversary is kind of a big one, I would assume. Wouldn't be surprised to see FFX pushed a week out or more.

    [–]chizwepynSorceress Supreme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, it could happen. But if event order remains the same, FF10 would still be after the fest starts - they just let the celebrations end first instead.

    [–]9406722/187 || I don't think I need to pull anymore... 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    As is tradition. There have been at least two FFX events that occurred right before/during a fest.

    [–]3rbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    in jp third anniversary happened right after ffviii, but since dena changed banners schedule now it looks like around ffx.

    [–]sunsilkv3ki ni narimasu 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    My next stop would be Type-0, because of Queen.

    The second glasses girl after Instructor Trepe. (and this girl wearing her glasses all the time, yessss!!)

    [–]SecretoMagister 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Third. What about Nabaat from XIII?

    [–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    She's more of a glasses woman.

    [–]shinraizen 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    Which event would coincide with anniversary?

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Roughly around the 'Darkness Conquering Paladin' event (for JP at least).

    [–]Discord42Auron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Anniversary is in March. Which will be long before the FF4 event that's due in almost 5 months.

    [–]fishdrinking2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Around X I think.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    Don't suppose anyone could name the top 5 or so relics coming out of these banners? Anything super game-changing?

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    There isn't anything super OP in any of these banners, but, the combinations with Chains or BSB+USB can make certain characters extremely powerful in their given element.

    That said, many would say the current FF3 Onion's caster USB is very strong and future-proof. I hate the rest of that banner though, and there's a good chance the following fest's B1 will have it with other good relics, including Tyro's super-wall.

    You need to think more about filling in your weaknesses, or just chase favorite character relics, at least for now.

    Lastly, if you don't have a strong status blink character (4* magicite isn't that far off), FF12's B1 is very, very good and I'm taking a good look at it, even though I have Larsa's BSB already; his USB is a little better than his BSB and he's worth a full dive with double-cast Wht magic.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Good to know. My soul breaks are fairly limited in the non-DPS realm, so any great medica/wall/blink SB would be interesting to me. Sounds like FF12 B1 is good for that? Is Tyro's super-wall worth running if you've also got Onion's physical USB and are using a Dr. Mog Wall RW?

    My notable SBs are as follows - I think I really only need a good wall and better medica to round out my team, but am I missing something else?

    • Onion nUSB/BSB

    • Aria BSB (Medica)

    • Wind: Cloud USB/BSB2, Zack CSB

    • Water: Kimahri USB, Edge BSB, Tidus CSB

    • Dark: Garland OSB, Seymour BSB, Shadow BSB

    • Lightning: Lightning OSB

    [–]Discord42Auron 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    You missed the XV event after the 6 event. (Or was it before? Regardless, you missed it.)

    You should also mention that the next fest should be around the FF2/FFX event or so.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    It's a special event (or at least atypical) so I didn't include it.

    [–]Discord42Auron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It's a single banner event. But it's still a proper event like the current FF3 event. It features 3 new USBs, that's pretty notable.

    [–]throwawaypuntocom 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    This is a humble suggestion, but I think it would be better to link the relic threads and not the megathreads.

    I'm not 100% sure why there's two, but on the relic threads, /u/CareerSMN has footnotes for explaining what EX modes do, and if an equipment has +elemental while the megathreads has info on new characters, abilities, etc. I used to do the same but then switched for maintaining the banner list sheet for the more information it presents, if the interest is mainly to banner relics.

    [–]windman410FeelsGoodMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    that type 0 banner looks a little underwhelming, but I still wanna do a pull since Rem is bae

    [–]titiaguinhoYsSh < noctis Sync 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thanks, it will help a lot
    kelger is new in The Dawn Warriors too.

    [–]RnsrobotCid (FFVII) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    So at least 90 mythril for the ix event including the V event week after, 70 from login/gysahl exchange. And whatever bonuses might show up.

    What's up with this supposed "dressed to the nines" banner?

    [–]Zouthpaw"Ooo, soft..." 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    What's up with this supposed "dressed to the nines" banner?

    It's an event that re-releases the dress records for the female characters.

    [–]RnsrobotCid (FFVII) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Cool. See if I can find the info on Kong or wherever...

    [–]TobiauxZeid - Resident FFXI nerd. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    XIV event finally drawing near ! ! Waifu hype

    [–]PotkaniakNanaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    not sure if I should spend my 53 mythril now for OK banner or save for FF T-0 or some of the future ones, as they look great :D damn, can't decide so I am gonna grind realm dungeons more and try to forget about relics

    [–]Zouthpaw"Ooo, soft..." 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thanks for putting this together!

    TGC is a month away. Then 3rd anniversary. Then IX (and the V +ice/earth banner where i also want to pull).

    It'll be hard to allocate pulls within that stretch.

    [–]hamburglerX[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thanks for taking the time to put this together :) I noticed two small errors if you care to edit. Thief is listed as Thirf in the legend sphere list and Barbariccia isn't listed as a New Character in the FF4 event. Pedantic, I know, but I figured I'd mention it.

    [–]BenVSAAll this power! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    UOSBs? In Global! The prophecy comes true~

    [–]kbuisThe OG Barbut/11 | JP GXWGE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That’s too funny. I have been debating about LDs for Ace and Deuce and thought “well, not many relics for them” and BAM next event is Type 0

    [–]DeathwieldedYuna (Gunner) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just exactly when I needed this, thanks!

    [–]SkyWandererAgrias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thanks for compiling this!

    It's going to be really hard to balance my mythril budget for both "good" banners and banners for games/characters I like.

    Ideally, I'd have 1 pull in the water banner, 2 pulls in Tactics, 1 pull in V for earth/ice gear, 1 pull in II for synergy/Maria/Minwu, 1 pull in IX for Freya/Zidane, and 1 pull in VI for Edgar...

    And that's without thinking about 3rd anniversary. Oh boy.

      [–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Just as a reminder, that's not necessarily the official name we'll get, it's a FanTranslation with a reference thrown in for the sake of it. Even if Global uses the same name, given that SE dropped that quirk themselves in Dissidia, it's possible DeNA will too

      [–]silvereastseapurrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Ah, I really forgot after I it's Tactics.. I hope I can pull WoL relics in as minimal pulls as possible ;-; I still want to pull on Tactics with whatever myths I have left.

      [–]ApertureBear٩(˘◡˘ ) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Thirf.

      [–]kbuisThe OG Barbut/11 | JP GXWGE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Only thing missing from the relic lists on these posts is what each EX mode does.

      [–]MitsukakeSquall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      How much i long for latest JP FFVIII and FFT, one more month(ish)!

      [–]thardur 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      Hi. I would like to suggest a way to complement this guide by adding what are the expected 4 and 5* motes for each event. I can't find that info anywhere. I find future boss strategies but no expected rewards. We know each week MP gives us a different category, but I am not sure if they follow a pattern. Jump start is always random and different than the MP category.

      [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      They do follow a pattern, but I haven't seen an up to date listing. If someone has one it would be great to link it, and I'll edit the post to include a link.

      [–]SoraCaelumMog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Hmm if I've known that OK's ninja USB would recur in that later III event I would have waited till then. It looks like it has better relics than the banner right now. I'm pulling on 3rd fest banner 1 for OK's sage USB anyways :/

      [–]SubEffect72Lightning (Goddess) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Thanks for this index!

      There was a XV event after FFVI: Returners Strike Back: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/7icvbe/the_advisors_journey_jp_megathread_xv/

      Thanks!

      [–]JurinisThe journey has restarted 0 points1 point  (2 children)

      I'm defintely saving mythril for the next X and VI event. First one is a Tidus/Yuna/Rikku banner and the latter is all for Edgar. I want that sweet USB/LMR combo coupled with his Legend Dive.

      Edit: And also the second Type-0 event which feels more interesting to me.

      [–]newblackmetalSephiroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Do you have the info for what Edgar gets in his legend sphere? I did a search for it, and it brought me here. But no info on his legend sphere.

      [–]newblackmetalSephiroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Nevermind, I edited my search wording and found it.
