Board 8 > Tales of Crestoria Topic 4 - My Kingdom for a Strange Core

(+) Yeah! (+)

I really dislike Reid's design and look. And I have 3x of him :S

---

I feel the same way but a fire team is probably the strongest I can put out. And one of them even has the same name as me.

I figure getting them to 90 will be enough for now.

I've already got Stahn at level 100. I'm working on getting Misella to 90, but rainbow lens are the worst. The main problem is that they are stuck using their own memoria right now

---

That can be slightly offset by buying out the store of Misella and fielding a full fire subgrid. Although full artes subgrid bonus is ass

when you switched to your Earth team for a campaign mission you were on and then forget to switch back to Water when you turn over to the Fire Event Raid

.... although uh the party isn't dying. well Lloyd did but the support replacement was SR Awakened Vicious in a party with Misella, Estelle, and Yuri so it's just a slow tanky whittling

went on for a while but eventually the raid starter died and called for backup

---

Yeah, it drives me crazy the game doesn't remember which team you use for which raid. That's a basic QOL function that basically every other gacha does.

The hell...

I just saw that Cheria's normal attack is 6 hits which is less than her skills. So she's always providing a minimum of 6 hits a turn. That seems really useful.

She's not strong and the 5 turn cool down on her 1 hit skill is gross, but she still has potential.

I feel like even with the SRs the Tiers are still all over the place. Repede is actually great for Fire Raids, for example.

I fought my first arena team with four fully awakened SSRs. I still won, but that was pretty obnoxious

That's like what, at least $1000 spent?

o.O

---

Possibly just incredible luck.

I mean I have a +4, two +3s, and I think two or three +2s, and I've only ever spent money once.

---

Luke, Kohaku, Kanonno, and Reid were fully awakened alongside Cress and Misella. That's a lot of extra HP and Atk from the awakening skills. Most likely money

---

Dhaos looks...VERY GOOD. Another attacking Light unit in the pool to increase my odds! Also that's one serious mono weapon type abilitity if fully awakened, +30% attack to all Artes users.

---

I'm surprised that Norma doesn't see more use given what her skill does.

Well you gotta pull 5 Normas for it to matter, so not to surprising yet. SR use is going to increase in the upcoming months, I'm sure.

---

Yeah, Dhaos looks quite good. It will be interesting to see what those cooldowns and OL will be. It appears to be further confirmation that the summer units are not limited. They should have been labeled as ex summons as well if they were.

Her +40% Attack is an Arte and doesn't need any extra Normas. I meant to say Arte rather than skill in the original post.

DAMN that thing jumps up to 40% when you level it up? For 3 turns?

That's damn fine, and I image the only reason you aren't seeing more is how damn good Dezel and Zaveid are in the same element.

---

I have 8000 silver coins to go to buy out the event shop. 349 gold coins to go. Something tells me I'm going to be way short on the gold side.

Only seen 1 memoria drop in all that time too. Didn't expect to get many SSRs but I had hoped to pick up a few Senels.

how long is arena going to be down for?

---

I beleive it was until 8 EST last week, IIRC.

---

gave up on the rest of the gold medal exchanges today and switched back to Farah hunting today

yay got one just now, 2 more and I'm happy again

*edit* oh crap I didn't realize the sylvanseed missions were gone so I can't host anymore... there goes that dream

---

I cleared out the shop with silver coins. It doesn't feel like it is worth it to try to get all the gold coins, so I've been hunting rainbow lens + eyes lately

---

entered Arena at placement 250 this time aww yeah better than last week

realizing Lindwurm raid is locked to the LQ which is no longer available so nobody can make Normal Raids for it now, meaning the 10 gems for Eliminate Lindworm Lv.1 annoyingly unreachable, taunting us

---

I miss having Gleamstones :(

Be new like me, I'm rolling in them.
But apparently Yankees has like 40k which is more then I've earned in my entire time playing so god knows how thats possible

---

You'll get there. I haven't spent any money, and there's still a decent amount out there for me from the side story chapters.


---

Finally getting to Xillia.

It would seem...this game takes a very drastic turn not to long after where I got to on release.

---

Tales of Phantasia beated, I'm ready for Dhaos.

... Characters not much to write home about, Cress can be frustrating at times but I do like Arche and Mint fairly, and Dhaos is interesting even if I don't think he was executed / explored really sufficiently. Claus is alright, but wow Chester really tags along without any reason beyond oh hey he's an archer.

sadly I made a terrible choice in playing the SNES DeJp fan translation since I experienced it long in the past, so lots of the translation doesn't feel right at all, and oops I didn't get to really know Suzu much :|

is this going to become in part a Tales general playthrough thread

---

Xillia starting to feel real stupid going into the last chapter here. I hate this a lot.

Jude kinda sucks, too. Not sure why he ranked so high in that Tales ranking from earlier this year, unless something changes dramatically.

---

Wow this is so sloppy, rushed, and unearned. Why are they doing it like this?

Major Zesteria flashbacks. Not in the actual direction, but just in the frustration.

---

Teepo is the best

With arena it may not be as simple as 'Does refreshing tags for ranking cover the gleamstones'

At reset you reset to the floor for your ranking. So for me I reset to A* and 23k. However at reset I was less than 5 wins away from A** which is 26k prestige. Even if the tags didn't cover themselves this week in gleamstones, I absolutely should have refeshed. I would have started 3k prestige higher than I did which is like 20-25+ wins. It would have had significant impact on my end ranking this week.

another Farah drop this morning yessssssssssssss, only 1 more to go for 100

---

Now that I've caught up on event raiding for the first time since I started playing, decided to start trying to get materials for my level 80s to ascend...this is hell

I agree it is a good idea. I was about 2000 points from the next tier so it didn't make sense, but if you are close, it is worth it.

The event raid shop is great for materials, but the normal raid drops are pretty rough.

---

Yeah I got every material you can get from both event shops, besides a few of the gold medal ones from this one since grinding for those feels pointless. But there's way more materials required then are available in those shops

This is actually glitchy as hell.

Mine shows cleared but only shows the first quest. I can go through and clear it again but I have to back out of the menu to limited quests each time it gets to a CS stage. It awards gleamstones like a first time clear for watching CS'es but does not for the normal fighting stages.

After full clearing the Sylvanseed stages show up again but predictably you have to clear through them in order again

It's a slim possibility but if someone can retrigger whatever reset everyones quests, you could theoretically generate infinite gleamstones via watching the CS and resetting. Probably isn't a way but there's a chance there is

yay I'm back to farming my own sylvagem raidss

now all my stamina goes into this until I get my last Farah

---

I'm amazed you have even been able to get close to a second 100. I've gotten a grand total of 1 SR and 1 SSR drop from both limited events combined

Doing alllll the fire raids right now

---

Rainbow Lens come to me~

---

Yeah, I've gotten two SSR and on SR drops from both events combined. You've gotten pretty lucky.

I now have enough to buy my first SSR memoria with raid token medals. Leaning towards another Keele.

I haven't really! If you missed it, what happened was I accidentally used my original Farah, at the time upgraded all the way to Level 90, as a material for my last event Farah. I mixed up which one I was ascending at the absolutely worst bloody moment and since then I've been Locking each memoria I ascend asap.

So my "second Farah" is actually just my last Event-Rewarded one that "starts out" at 1 ascension because I sacrificed the 90. Which means I've only actually won 3 spare Farahs from raids (to 70, 80, 90). I only need 4 spare Farahs to get back to 100 instead of a full fresh 6 Farahs.

---

It really should be the case that if you are using an ascended memoria to ascend another, the ascensions should carry over.

---

yeah there's no reason at all not to, there's no practical effect beyond screwing the player for mistakes

at least other gachas I've played like Opera Omnia just lock your equipment automatically after upgrading so that kind of accident can't really happen unless you go out of your way to unlock it inexplicably

Well, I have nearly 3 Mil Gald now.
