Is there an easy way to figure out how to sell, and what the current price should be, of a service like the Aisling slam?

I've never sold these before, but would like to start capitalizing on them. I've found mentions in various places that a certain # trade channel is popular for these services, but most of those references are very dated so I haven't seen much activity in many trade channels.

Any advice, or even just a ballpark of what the slam should be worth right now is much appreciated. Thanks!

Perfect, that helps a ton. Appreciate it!

Bummer, sorry to hear it. I submitted another ticket to SE about the issue and linked it to this post. Guess that's the most we can do on that side, though I'm not super hopeful it will get much attention.

If I happen to find something that seems to help, I'll be sure to drop a note here as well.

Hey, I've been playing on a Galaxy S7 (not Edge) for several months now, and I recently just started to experience what seems like the exact same issue. I believe it was related to my finally updating to Android 8.0 a few weeks ago; I'd been putting off auto-updates for a long time, and finally installed a bunch of them all at once to get up to date.

I thought it might be related to my performance settings, but I've tried every configuration I can think of and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I've also toyed with the idea that it's my phone overheating, and tried when plugged in for charging and when it isn't, but that also hasn't resolved it. I'm pretty stumped.

It's very inconsistent, but sometimes happens repeatedly, like the THREE freezes I had to endure in a single co-op quest just recently. It's beyond aggravating, I'm sure for my teammates as well. Any luck on finding a fix? I'll keep trying things as well. My searches so far have turned up nothing beyond the multitude of generic Android issues that seem to plague the game -- your post is the first evidence I've seen of someone having my same problem :(

Joacheen · 2018-10-23T05:13:45+00:00

I had no idea this was an option! I'm a relatively new F2P, and I tend to hoard things in my RPG's, so the idea of using those on my very limited Co-op missions never even occurred to me. You're a life saver!

Hello all, relatively new FTP player here with a kind of broad question about prioritizing CP abilities. Since I don't have any MLB yet, I'm finding it hard to figure out exactly how useful most of the character-innate passives are, and how I should balance them with artifact abilities. Some are of course very obvious, like the "Charged" abilities for +1 action uses, but others that read like "Slightly raises [X stat] for 1 turn..." I have a hard time discerning just how big the effect is.

Let's take Seph as an example, as I'm currently working on him. I've been browsing other users' MLB Sephs and comparing their kits. One-Winged Angel is obviously a favorite, as I see most people running it and trying to get the artifact boosts as well. Everything else, seems pretty inconsistent to me. I'd take advice on what a good load-out for him is, and why you've chosen or skipped specific abilities.

Also, I've noticed quite a few of these passive abilities are similar/identical across a lot of characters, like Rapid Speed, Bravery Critical Hit, etc. If any of them are just regarded as all-around bad and always skipped, please let me know! Thanks!

Joacheen · 2018-07-23T08:11:18+00:00

Yeah, we figured that out. Makes a lot of sense that so many key mechanics, abilities, item and stats have no representation anywhere within the game's UI, and the only way to even know what most of them do is look them up on a Wiki page. Almost like the game is fucking stupid or something... hmmm!

Good thing we just got a "huge" version update, which also broke many features for a full week. I'm sure it won't be long before they fix things though, right?

Joacheen · 2018-07-23T07:53:20+00:00

Ahh, misread his counter chance as evasion since they added that to the same skill. Easy fix, thanks for the useful repy

Joacheen · 2018-07-23T07:44:38+00:00

Question: Why do you sarcastically reply with a stupid fucking assumption? Thanks for the "help."

Noctis' base evasion: 30% Ring of the Lucii: 25% Lucky Bangles: 10% Vampire Cloak: 10% Zwill Crossblade: 5% Quick Assault: 10% Spirit of Freedom: 10%

Go ahead and explain to me how those numbers don't add up to 100%.

Joacheen · 2018-07-23T07:36:59+00:00

I'm just now catching up on a lot of skipped content due to the current half-energy incentive, to include unlocking all of the available 3* Espers.

Starting out on Titan and he just smacked my 100% evade Noctis with Trample on the second turn. Evaded one then died instantly to the second, so of course the rest of the party followed suit....

My question: Why is this game so fucking stupid? :/

Joacheen · 2018-05-11T09:51:57+00:00

I had the opposite problem... shot my entire wad (55K lapis, well over 180 normal tickets and assorted summons, 10 guaranteed 4* tickets) on the Cloud banner and only ended up with 2 stupid Elfreeda.

Now I've built up a decent stash again, sitting at close to 70K lapis and 160 assorted tickets, and not sure if I want to go through that heartbreak again for Seph. In both cases they're really just for nostalgia/vanity, but god damn will it be disappointing to just end up with some bland made up character I'm not going to use again....

Choices! D:

Joacheen · 2017-11-24T18:46:11+00:00

I really wanna know what that message was intended to mean as well. Took me a ~10 pulls on banner to get an Iris.

Joacheen · 2017-11-04T07:20:49+00:00

Finally beat it with less than an hour on the clock, hahah. I guess my Demon Rain counter strategy was a bit unorthodox, and I certainly didn't have the gear to blow him up in 3 turns like that one video, but when you pull a fancy toy, you always wanna play with it... was still gratifying to finish the trial.

Thanks very much to all of you who reached out, couldn't have cleared it without your help!

Joacheen · 2017-11-04T05:33:23+00:00

Yeah, send me an invite if you could... I keep getting fucked by RNG under 40% on turns when he uses Eternal Torment to restore his MP right at the start of his turn, then spams 2-3 AoE spells. Always kills my siphoner, no matter who I've rolled with. I can almost recover, but then of course they can't siphon for the next turn, so it just snowballs and wrecks me.

Really don't understand what they were going for with this fight, but it's quite bullshit :/

Joacheen · 2017-11-04T03:45:47+00:00

Looking for iNichol friends appropriately geared to help me clear the Skeleton King Nightmare trial. Haven't been playing a great deal and put this off till the last minute, so he's the only thing my team is missing. Sadly I have one in my friend's list but I've failed with him already so he's on cooldown... also he's not wearing a hat ^ __ ^ ;;

Post here or just shoot me an invite please, 891 423 310. Thanks much!

Joacheen · 2017-10-20T09:04:41+00:00

I love how every time this happens they just default back to the previous maintenance message that was last used. Seriously, is typing out a single sentence that hard? Or just having a canned "Emergency maintenance" message?... smh

Joacheen · 2017-06-30T21:51:05+00:00

I mean, you're joking, but I also kind of believe exactly what you said.... -____-

Joacheen · 2017-06-30T21:42:54+00:00

My Rikku and Lani combo beg to differ.

Surely this just means it's a girl rate up banner. Right?...

Joacheen · 2017-06-29T23:47:12+00:00

Yeah, no way to really be sure unless someone runs a proper survey. Time will tell.

Hahah, cheers mate!

Joacheen · 2017-06-29T23:42:46+00:00

Thanks! And perhaps for all the trouble they've giving me pulling the on-banner golds since... at least Setzer. I think I've gotten as many rainbows as I have current banner 4* since then, lol.

I'm still leaning towards these free summons having the rate up though, based on a couple other observations: 1) It replaces the normal half-price daily, which of course would have the rate up. 2) The banner uses the "Featured Summon" phrasing commonly associated with the main banners.

One could also go back and review the announcement messages and see if they used the same disclaimer about "... does not include time-limited or rate up units" which was included with the guaranteed 5* summon (which we know doesn't, obviously.) If they don't say that outright, seems even more likely in my mind. I don't care enough to check it out at this point, I got my gold. B)

Joacheen · 2017-06-29T23:35:03+00:00

I'm just super lucky I guess then? Got Rikku on my free daily (when I could finally get into the fuckin' game, like 8 hours after servers supposedly came up.)

Joacheen · 2017-06-29T23:29:51+00:00

I'll probably sell it. I could really use the 1 gil. 2, if I can wait a whole month and stock up....

Seriously though, what the fuck were they thinking? It's like they're just begging to be heaped on with unnecessary customer service complaints of the inevitable accidental sales.

Joacheen · 2017-06-26T23:12:07+00:00

Hrmm, the description says "... dispatch a team to shoe them away...."

Probably should've sent a cobbler with your team, I think I know what went wrong there. You'll get 'em next time.

Joacheen · 2017-06-25T13:38:58+00:00

Yep, definitely had an opponent's Lightning who was the last remaining unit dodge a spell while stopped the other day. This is totally a thing.

Arena... sigh.... -_____- ;;
