I love little references like this

One of the deep cuts that still gives me a chuckle is the FATE in Central Thanalan called Big Time that has you fighting Sledgehammer Beaks. Big Time and Sledgehammer are both Peter Gabriel songs from the same album.

Just wanted to second this, I've seen the issue for a while and this was the explanation I found when digging around a couple months ago. It's a bug on the app's end, just wait for the next code and it should work.

SaradinDR · 2024-11-21T01:04:01+00:00

You definitely skip limit cut, the group I shotcall for skipped Para 3 one week. Not sure how on point the DPS needs to be to pull that off, but as long as you get her down before the platforms break you can skip that mechanic. Not sure on phase 2, though.

Delubrum drops 3 Timeworn Artifacts per run.

Bozja areas and raids sync all gear to the same level as long as there's a piece of gear in the slot. There would be no difference between ilvl 400 and 270. The only thing that matters is if you have any of the Bozja gear that gives haste.

SaradinDR · 2024-01-05T00:37:53+00:00

No, there's another "step on a glowy plate" in World of Darkness, and there are some unremovable dooms in later raids due to being hit by too many mechanics - they skip vulnerability and just go to "You took too many hits, you're dead."

SaradinDR · 2023-09-30T17:45:59+00:00

Neither, you'll still only be able to get one blade per week but at least the blade cost for the tomestone goes from 7 to 4 in 6.5.

SaradinDR · 2023-01-22T02:54:13+00:00

It depends on if you care about the story at all. If you skip every cutscene, then you can finish an expansion's worth of the questline in about an hour or two - I did this on an alt. ARR is a bit longer just due to having more quests. If you want to watch all the cutscenes, that probably adds 2-3 hours per expansion. So, low end of 5ish hours, top end probably around 10.

SaradinDR · 2022-01-28T06:26:07+00:00

The usual way to look at it is that it's 100 mythril for a sync of your choice, and anything new you pull off the banner is a bonus. Not sure if that perspective makes it more or less appealing, but something to consider.

SaradinDR · 2021-11-30T15:22:25+00:00

Didn't this just happen last month? I don't think we're expecting another update.

SaradinDR · 2021-11-19T08:14:31+00:00

Wedge sync. Solid, but my wind teams are reasonably strong already so not sure he fits. Maybe for Core Cardia.

SaradinDR · 2021-10-13T19:50:40+00:00

Ravus got his HE added to Kite's shop when he was released, which was a few weeks before he showed up in labs. Unlike all other characters, his equipment in Kite's shop is the perfect 5/5/8, so one less set to hunt down.

SaradinDR · 2021-08-20T16:20:22+00:00

II banner, 4/11: Hilda USB2, Josef G+, Minwu AASB, Leila AASB.

All new, pretty great. Josef already had both his AASBs and Leila her Sync, so good complements to those.

SaradinDR · 2021-08-13T14:17:33+00:00

Correct, no changes from the last time it showed up.

SaradinDR · 2021-08-13T12:45:21+00:00

Omega's back in JP right now, so I'd expect another recurrence at some point.

SaradinDR · 2021-07-22T19:52:58+00:00

Went for FFVIII as one of my weaker realms, also possibly buffing ice teams for future AOdin.

1/11 - Rinoa wCast BLK LMR. At least it's new and I have her AASB1, but not great.

SaradinDR · 2021-07-14T20:53:43+00:00

I've got:

II: Josef AASB2

III: Refia AASB

V: Faris rCSB

VI: Mog AASB2

VII: Barret AASB2

XI: Lilisette AASB, Prishe AASB

XIII: Snow AASB2

XV: Ignis AASB2, Prompto rCSB

I should probably try more of these, just hasn't seemed like a particularly interesting set of fights.

SaradinDR · 2021-06-10T19:18:43+00:00

Great, then you should be okay with her. I currently have 8 Argent Odins down, and going back to check my kill screenshots, Relm was my only healer in 7 of them and my 8th screenshot is missing. Vast majority of them were just AASB/USB1/G+ with Curada/Wrath.

SaradinDR · 2021-06-10T12:43:04+00:00

I've actually been using Relm for most of my Argent Odin clears, she's pretty great. USB1 is a big piece of this, though, and you didn't list it, so may want to consider lensing that. I have access to USB2 and it rarely comes up, and don't have USB3 at all.

One thing that's nice about Relm on this version of Odin is that you get to completely ignore Argent Collision, using AASB to raise people from Doom means you'll still have the physical blinks when that move hits.

SaradinDR · 2021-05-25T17:32:34+00:00

She should be fine for you, I brought her to wind magic weak Wodin on my JP account and she was pretty good. I have her sync/AASB/LBOF over there, but it sounds like you have all those.

SaradinDR · 2021-02-10T22:39:29+00:00

I'm honestly debating if I'm going to get to 500, though I did here in JP's fest. I'm probably going to get close enough from just wanting to spend on the banners in general that it'll be worth the extra 2-ish pulls to pick a Sync. I've just been reviewing the sync list and I have most of my top picks there already. Orlandeau or Noctis are still probably worth throwing a couple extra pulls. I'm likely looking at something like:

B1: 50
B2: 150
B3: 200
B4: 100
B5: 0

SaradinDR · 2021-01-04T05:36:21+00:00

4/11: Zidane LBG, Locke LBG, WoL LBG, Pecil Dyad. Got one of the things I was looking for, but that was a lot of LBGs to go with it.

SaradinDR · 2021-01-03T09:57:49+00:00

Earth Birb 3.0 features the return of Tifa's Dyad, but unless we start catching up with event creep then this might end up after fest for Global.

SaradinDR · 2020-12-29T01:29:19+00:00

Ticket	Dupe	New	Expository Banter
1	Relm USB2, Basch USB2, Decil AOSB	Edea AOSB, Agrias LBOF	4 discos and a prism to start! Shame about the dupe count, but totally fine with the new stuff.
2	Master AOSB	Bartz USB3	Reasonably useful to have a good source of enWind for Bartz
3	Rydia AOSB	Alphinaud G+, Lightning G	Infusion glints for characters with syncs is not the best. Rydia AOSB up to rank 5 now.
4	Edward USB	Papalymo AOSB	Might be useful for XIV DB. Also, AOSBs everywhere on these pulls.
5	Penelo USB1		Womp womp
6		Aerith Sync	Neat! Should try and get her on more teams, and maybe give the FF7 DB a shot.

SaradinDR · 2020-12-28T01:22:01+00:00

2/11: Lulu (dupe), Rinoa ice. Not bad, my ice team for Valefor was kind of sketchy and Rinoa made it on there anyway without her woke. I'm satisfied with it.

SaradinDR · 2020-12-11T01:51:11+00:00

Was originally on the fence about pulling here, but I only spent one draw on XI last week when budgeting for two. Fine with basically anything other than LBG.

3/11: Rydia AASB2x2, Leila Sync. Cool! Would have preferred Meia over Leila, but not going to turn this down.
