(+) Yeah! (+)

So Rem's boosts effectively make her hit about 1.5x harder?
---

1 hour extension.
---

Glad I burned my energy down.

Can't wait to see the number of people demanding 5* tickets as compensation for an extra hour
---

They already did, including UoCs....
---

Game is up

That's my favorite thing about extended maintenance. The amount of entitled little shits that come out and start demanding ridiculous levels of compensation.
---

data retrieval failed

wheres my 5* compensation
---

Bundle of enhancement has been boosted, 2 Gigantuars and 2 Cactuars now

I love how this happens after every maintenance now.
---

Sounds like Orlandeaus Crush Helm enhances actually use black crysts now, so thats nice.
---

So much for ability awakenings. Tried to enhance WoL and got the data retrieval error. If this screws up and takes my awakening mats like it did my raid orbs I'm going to be pissed.
---

Total cost for me to enhance both Orlandeaus:

Tech: 76/40/26/6/2
Power: 100/76/50/24/4
Black: 76/40/26/6/2
Gil: 7 million

lol, this isn't worth it. I actually have most of the T4 and 5 crysts, but not even close to the 1/2/3. A2 still better, keep enjoying your spot on the bench old man.
---

More like orlanDONT
---

Yup, that makes enhancing Orlandeau a lot less tempting. Once again relegated to easy farming use, and that's it.

I looked at the costs of enhancing DR and immediately said "Fuck that"

At least BLC was dirt cheap
---

Future chainers won't be dirt cheap if you thought that.

Anyway, don't bother fully awaken re-raise for Rem. Extra turns are not useful.
---

Amusingly that's the only enhancement from her Japanese version.

Everything else is GL exclusive or buffed significantly with new stuff.
---

Thanks! Love those discounted gift cards!
---

wow.
Rem's upgrades, outside of her boomerang, are super easy to do.

considering she's very easily fielding 400+ SPR her boosted Curaga can do a good 3-4k.

edit:
okay, the free units you summon in the raid have multiple TMRs made for her.
like... yeah, if you're missing another source of DW/want to use it elsewhere, the dagger is a decent replacement. it's a significant hit if you're Dark Bond/Equip Rod but it's a hit to her for a buff on another mage.

if you do that though/if you lack Dark Bond... Cat Costume is something else on her. +20% MAG and SPR means that it's almost as good as Siren's Robe on her. you can effectively budget build her into 800-900 MAG and 500-600 SPR with 5k HP.
---

Until today, I never really understood the feeling of watching your gil count shrink due to enhancements. Nothing I've enhanced before, bar Soleil, was all that expensive, and she was done in bursts. But after everything for Rem except Raise and +2 Undying Wish, and everything for WoL, I blew 4.5 million. And I only didn't enhance Raise because I actually did run out of White Crysts.

With next week off, I may actually take the time to give Aigaion a shot. Just need to decide who my damage dealers should be, use Rem for Re-raise, Tilith for heals, Rikku because duh, and likely WoL for a tank. Should be fun! At this point it's between Firelandeau or GL Sakura for damage.

I also just took down Glacial with Fire Tidus, Mystea, Tilith, and Marie. Marie and Tilith died rather quickly, but I got really lucky with Mystea taking two of the ST attacks for Tilith and still surviving, letting my Tidus pair Spark Chain that birdie down, get healed with a scroll from Mystea, and survive the next round thanks to her taking the damage for one of them and Energy Rain the trash mobs down. Got everything except the Ifrit Summon reward, and I don't have the paralysis resist gear or the ice resist gear to do that.

It's also time to select another TMR to moogle. I'll be waiting until we get the 5* EX Ticket and whatever I may or may not get from the 10+1, but at the moment I'm still leaning towards defensive stuff. Either Crowe's TMR, a Rainbow Robe, or a second Jake's Pirate Ring.
---

Speaking of these stupid free summon units in the raid I'm closer than not to getting most of their TMRs but I'm not sure I'm close enough to ever justify TM grinding them so maybe I should just sell them. I don't know.
---

There really is no point in grinding them.

Unless you need the dagger for Rem afterwards.

==============================
Who is your mana battery for Aigaion?

===============

Go fo TfS. Mystea loves it.

==================

Oh boy.... Almost down to one million gil now after going through Orlandeau, Rem, Santa Roselia and WoL.
---

I'm back in the business.
burned a refresh for the raid. got moon lady to TM.
Might get the rest of the moogles to finish them off, if only to get a full TM team.

I have so many good LBs and not enough pots to level them D:
also, how bad has ice bird been for you guys?
---

Polyester is more flame retardant by comparison.

You only have to worry about both dps and healer survives, so resetting is recommended until it gets a perma patch for trials. (Anyone who dies will die.)

====================

List the LBs first.
---

...except the only good physical chainer I have is Freyvja.
rip me

As for LBs...
Mystea
VoL
Illusionist Nichol
Ace(2x)

also, cool, emergency maintenance.
---

Did you enhance Agrias? That's an option with Rain's trial weapon and my Orlandeau. (Not sure if enough swapped weapons since all on my list were Excalibur.)

=============

They all are nice, but like me you still need a source of lb generation to see them enough times warrant the pots. (Ace his, but the question is how often you use him as a finisher.)

iNichol for instance works with Rikku's+Aigaion's fist.
---

Might throw a little bit at the xmas banner

I expect 10 gilberts

Even from gold crystals

I mean, I have Aigaion's Fist and Override, so generation is not an issue- it's getting myself to nab pots.

Ah.

Just aim for the 12 hour expeditions that offers them refreshed on a weekly basis; and hit the minimum every other week for the king.

Emergency maintenance?

Speaking of Rem, I saw Type 0 for sale for 10 bucks on PSN store. Anyone know if it's worth it?
---

Type-0 is awesome
---

@crazygamer999

If we look at it this way:

Mystea: Good since it works for 3 turns, but requires you to generate enough outside stones since she will be busy most of the time erecting her wall, defending, or do other stuff. (Or Entrust her.)

VoL: Strong one with a 74% DEF/SPR aoe debuff even at 7*. Future proof. Still need to generate enough outside. The real question here is if you are commited to building her equipment set up.

iNichol: Overall useful regen, BUT at the same time since you have Ace it can take a low priority since the 2x party mirage is static.

Ace: For the most part you won't use this one now since he more useful for support despite he does have a hefty hightide. But at the same time once he hits 7* and use his TMR it gains a 74% SPR debuff on the target. (And a 1800% mod for damage.)

(And you might want to update your rainbow list so it gets easier for suggestions. =^_^=)
---

Huh, never checked that link until now.

I put my rainbows in.
NoTice that barring wilhelm ( which, with WoL enhancements is not a loss now), the only thing that I'm missing is a pure physical chainer... and that is the only role that hurts the most to miss, sadly, cause not many units can take the place of an OK or a landu... Freyvja and VoL are nice and all, but the former has been nerfed cause ice resists and the latter is really hard to get good gear for.
---

Amusing bug.

Enhanced Santa Roselia can dual cast her magic after using Healer's Resolve since it adds a second Dual White Magic icon with this week's bans.

Used a few 4* Tickets on the banner, got a rainbow. Was hoping for Christine for glorious ice stuff.

Got Wilhelm instead, and now have my most wanted unit. Christine who?
---

daily today: rainbow!
Ace.

2nd Ace, guess he's ready to 7. this one i can raise his LB for too.

used a few tickets on the banner and another rainbow!
Lightning

well i guess she's my first.
---

thats a pretty disappointing bundle for $25 I think. Theyre usually pretty good about these things, but 8 tickets for that much seems like really bad value, even if 3 of them are 4*. ATK +30% adds almost no value at this point
---

also this event is bad

another ball dropped on GL exclusive stuff, keep up the great work gumi
---

you're basically spending extra for 4* tickets in it, yes.
but that has its own good value to it if you're chasing any Golds.

edit:

or rainbows, since 4* tickets are 5% chance instead of 3%.
but that's whaling turf.
and i'm not sure there's any golds in the immediate future that are must-gets like Setzer.
---

There's maintenance tonight right?
---

Got Barbarrica and Prishe with 20k lapis. On banner rainbow rate since the rate up is hovering around 12%

I think if I summon I see myself sticking to the Cloud banner, none of the christmas characters really interest me this time.

Had a gut feeling.

Since you have both Marie and Ace, iNichol's LB can be made a low priority unless you plan to use him a lot.

So no characters give bonuses to candy cane drops?
