Board 8 > Tales of Crestoria Topic 2 - No Earthly Good

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not playing atm (at work), but how are my Fire and Wind supports working put so far? Should I switch back over to an SSR even though I have neither built up much?

The Wind is Dezel; no idea what Fire's name is. Grant?

---

Okay I figured it out, and this is stupid

The game will give you friend 4 supports to choose from, from your friends list. They will be your friends that have not logged in for the longest. My 4 were friends that all hadn't logged in for a day and the bottom of my friends list for last log in.

Wtf is that bullshit

---

Which would make sense why you guys never see me because I play a lot >_>

---

If you're really desperate for a healer Ermine, you do have 1 option available to you that isn't quite as good as Estelle but should still be pretty good.

Use the freebie SR Misella. Find 4 crappy SR's you don't want and convert them. Buy 4 Misella's SR's from the shard shop. You should now have 5 Misella Memoria's. Feed them into the Misella to get her fully awakened. +11% DEF to all allies passive, a 40% heal on 3 turn CD (if upgraded) and theoretically being fully ascended probably brings her up to or above SSR level stats.

Well, I already HAVE SSR Misella. But I'm not that desperate. Estelle is OP for her mystic arte heal.

---

I don't have the SRs for that atm though anyways. Spent literally all of them fully awakening Repede earlier.

Next on the block is maxing out SR Kanata Memoria to give to my SSR Kanata so he'll be a stronk boy

---

And following up on that support thing, it even more sucks because the people who haven't logged in in awhile clearly don't play much so most of the time I'm getting their like level 30 SR kanata with level 1 memoria

lol

I'm doing the same thing I do in every gacha: if some has more than 1 day sincr login, cut them from your list. Sounds harsh, but killing your logging streak bonus is the most obvious sign that someone isn't gonna keep at it.

---

Yeah I just removed all of the players past like 22hr not being on.

Though I was only able to remove 5 because the game won't let you remove more per day

---

Still that really peeves me off how that works.

Having to spend AP on normal raids due to lacking low level materials is sucky.

Some ascensions mats are just miserable to get. Started off at 6/10. 1 hour later I'm at 8/10. Tried both normal and hard raids since they are a silver box item but only seen them drop on normal so far (artificial crystal)

Oh balls. I need another 10 for Velvet too. Welp, get Leon to 90 first then worry about Velvet I guess.

Least the event is nice and lets you buy some of the mats for Earth/Fire/Light with points. Dark/Water/Wind are shafted though.

finally my first SR from a Raid woo

Melanbron Hard, Judas... from ranking 7th out of 10 contributors well okay then

*edit* yeah indeed to be clear I was aiding

---

Well that answers a question I was going to ask. Was about to ask if anyone had gotten a Memoria when not hosting. Everytime I've had one drop, it was when I was hosting.

I've gotten a Judith from a water raid while aiding once or twice. Seems like it's just an extremely low drop rate, regardless of your placement or contribution.

---

Looking at the way the battlepass scales up, you may have to use gleamstones in order to claim it all before it expires. 8 days left and I'm at level 12. If it keeps scaling up (and why wouldn't it), then I don't believe free tickets will get me to the end

Each battlepass level has required 10 to advance for as long as I've been paying attention.

---

Fairly certain it scales up according to the level of the pass 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > etc

Let's see. My record says I've had 73 Battles and I'm Level 11 with 7 to go to 12

0 > 1 - 1 Battle
1 > 2 - 3 Battles
2 > 3 - 6 Battles
3 > 4 - 10 Battles
4 > 5 - 15 Battles
5 > 6 - 21 Battles
6 > 7 - 28 Battles
7 > 8 - 36 Battles
8 > 9 - 45 Battles
9 > 10 - 55 Battles
10 > 11 - 66 Battles
11 > 12 - 78 Battles

So it checks out although it's slightly off. I should have 5 to go to 12 not 7. So maybe it isn't that? Going up in 10s wouldn't match either though.

Anyway, if that's the model then it's 210 Battles to Level 20. 8 days worth of tags is 96 tags if kept on perfect cycle of usage. So I'd be well short of the 210. Notably the reward for Level 19 is 800 Gleamstones so if you're close it's definitely worth using refreshes to get there.

The wiki seems to suggest the model I said is accurate. So not sure where the discrepency of 2 battles for me comes from unless there was something that reset level status at some point when I was 2 battles in?

Wasn't the AP requirement for story quests supposed to be reduced or something?

---

Starts tomorrow I think. Saw someone say it was a mistranslation

I mean I'm level 12 and literally every single battle pass level reset with 10 matches since level, like, 5.

So not sure what's going on there.

---

lmao what I got another Judas literally 6/6 contrib to this Hard Melan

---

I've done a bunch of raids but never got a memoria from any of them.

Did summon the Kanonno summer version though. Her memoria seems really good for Velvet but my Velvet already has an super tricked out Kyle memoria that gives her a bunch of attack and crit damage, so...

---

A heads up, my Velvet has had her Hell's Claw maxed, and can now one-shot any basic enemy in the hardest difficulty of any raid besides water types.

---

Estelle really is the best character in the game, huh

I dont have a velvet

---

I meant for picking support.

---

If you play often Ill never get your support :(

Starts Farah side-story Stage 4

...

yo for real, villagers in this world are messed the hell up

*edit* now stage 5......... mandatory low-level guest that's literally weak to the stage's element.......... stop doing thissssssss

---

Here's my battle pass, I just leveled up.



So yeah, 10 every time.

---

I went from 0 gald like every day to suddenly having 650,000...

$_$

---

like what the fuck

TWO guest characters now, and 1st turn the boss enemy does an AOE attack that already puts one of them to ~25% health and the other ~60%

mother fucker

---

Seriously fuck raids so much

Sent out 2 calls for aid and still have literally no one. Completely wasting my fking time with this bullshit

And I can't just withdraw and make a new one because you can only have one active that you started and hell if I'm wasting my fking time joining another raid to waste 5 minutes and get 5 seeds


---

It's a shame there's so many aspects of this game that I find unfun, like the arena, raids, and how incentive for team synergies is gated behind fully awakening characters, because the story is actually kind of interesting. I know the early month(s) of mobile games can sometimes be rough, and there's every chance of the experience being fixed, and of events actually being fun further down the line, but right now there's not enough compelling me to play it. Maybe if I was a big Tales fan rather than someone who's only played a couple, but alas.

---

Throwing it out there that everyone in the raid can request help even if you didn't start the raid. So if you join a friend / guildies raid, then put out the request too.

I just had a raid where the organizer let it tick all the way down to 20 mins. I kept hopping in every 6 mins to request aid again and eventually it got cleared.

yeahhh the story is certainly the bigger draw keeping me through this rough opening of game mechanics

---

I like raids, and the arena.

I don't like having to do raids constantly for drops, or being gated by gleamstones to play the arena.

Basically this game is good when it isn't a gacha.

---

lmao

*Start arena battle. Phone instantly turns the game off*

"This has counted as a loss! Say goodbye to your winstreak fucker!"

XDD

---

OK maybe I do gotta go play Eternia.

Rachaen Rangerrrrr

---

Eternia is good. One of my favorites tbh.

Seeing people complain about Estelle in Arena is funny because she's not even the most broken thing in Arena. Like whoever designed Wildfire, how could they possibly have thought that was anywhere close to balanced. I'm guessing it isn't getting a lot of complaints yet because most people don't know what it does.

Sorey <3

---

I lost an arena win streak because I forgot about the maintenance a few days ago. I won the match, but the game was under maintenance at that point.

---

I lost my last arena win streak because it crashed mid fight. Luckily it seems the bonuses from 5 wins up are the same so it isn't too bad

I'm already starting to feel myself fall off the game. Which is too bad because I want to like it. I think maybe I'm just finding it a little too time consuming? Not sure.

---

Yeah right now it's very time consuming. I think part of that is because I don't want to lose/waste any stamina. I'm hoping down the line it will become less so which should be th case when we get larger stamina pools and events that take up more stamina.

I think raids being so tedious is a problem too.

I think I'm going to mostly avoid the event for now, maybe do a raid here and there, but that's it, and focus on the story and leveling my characters a bit more casually.

---

I'm already back up to like 70-80 BP

Way too much time spent using BP for such little rewards.

---

Spamming VH3 Gald gets through stamina quick but until they had a quick complete then running stamina dry sucks unless you just do like the 16 stamina event dungeon
