White chocobos dropping SSR abilities

New white chocobo campaign up instead of continuation of ffiii event. Sorry folks, no Cloud of Darkness for you yet!

Getting LP to last longer: don't quest in areas marked boss because LP costs more

Attacked image is the area with the best % drop rate compared to the other areas.

Trusting the Optimize fo Battle Bonus Button

Don't Forget!
Unrelated to this post, just didn't want anyone to forget!
So I did some testing today after noticing that the "Optimize for Battle Bonus" equipped my Fire Weapon & Ability as Main instead of the Bonus Weapon & Ability. Note: I ramble and it may not make sense. Short conclusion is that the "Optimize for Battle Bonus" will pick whatever will give you the highest total damage dealt.

Final Fantasy III Event - Saronia Castle Mysteries

Hi everyone, the FFT event is finally over! I hope everyone did well and was able to enjoy the new brigade battle format. Next up is the FFIII event, Saronia Castle Mysteries. The tentative launch time & date is 7:00 pm PT Tuesday 6/4.

Lifting an Esper

On the left, we have what I'll call "Lifting an Esper" after Yiying Lu's "Lifting a Dreamer" although everyone probably knows it better as Twitter's fail whale. Which is probably how everyone feels about Bismarck.

And then right, we have what I'm calling "Dropping a Blocker" as in I hope it falls on the other brigade and keeps them from getting more points. Featuring Black Chocobos because in FFIV, they were the only breed of chocobos capable of flying.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Truth is Forever

Happy News: FFT event started, storage slots has DOUBLED! Happy times :)

Read the Event Details/Briefing to understand the event better. Or you could read what I typed for myself so I could get a better grasp of things.


The main portion of the FFT event has started! Many thought it was going to start at 7pm PT because of previous events, but because of the new brigade battle face off I figured it was going to start after brigade down time. Which it did and here we are now in a new quad-brigade system. There will be 2 downtimes a day now, one at 1:00pm-1:59pm PT and from the usual 10:00pm-11:59pm PT.

Overdrives have returned. They are random and affect only you. They can show up after all out attacks, even if you also do a summon during that battle. Your attack will receive a 1.5x boost.

Normal Esper & Fiends will not show up. Therefore no more miracle drinks. The 'event esper' is a stronger(more hp) version of the usual weak espers that we were used to fighting.

More rewards for bosses Lv8 or higher.

Ability & Weapon Stats - I'm forwarding y'all to the FFAB World Squadrons page on Facebook because I'm pretty sure one of the admin has posted stats somewhere. Link is on the sidebar.

Battle Folio Mobile Wallpaper

I was working on a commission and made this for fun when I was done. Wasn't hard since I already made the sword graphic for the Attack card.

Final Fantasy Tactics Phone/Tablet Wallpapers


I recently made some wallpapers for my tablet's wallpaper and lock screen. They turned out so well that it would be a shame not to share them here.

Thursday, May 2, 2013

Can you name them all?


We have weapons, abilities, summons, scrolls, airship, and ally* types here. The 3 that looked faded out are because I haven't seen a picture of them yet so I don't know if they exist for real in game yet.



*I've heard the players call them legends but the R rarity ones I saw were of the equippable job classes so I didn't want to call the whole category legends. (In Final Fantasy Brigade Break the Seal update, you equip party members like your weapons and abilities instead of using your 2 strongest people from your brigade.)

>It seems I messed up the bg for the one in the top right corner. My bad.

SSR Weapons

Just in case anyone is still confused about the SSR weapon equipments, requirments are as follows:


Number of SSR Weapons Obtained
Number of Allies Leveled to 99
Minimum Total Ally Levels
1
1
99
2
2
300
3
3
600
4
4
900
5
5
1200
6
6
1500
7
7
1800


Hopefully this chart helps clarify how to obtain the SSR weapons since it wasn't explained well in the game.

The best way to use those to fulfill the Minimum Total Ally Levels is to spread the exp between all available characters. For example if you have two 99 leveled allies, and ten other allies, nine allies need to be level 20 and one ally needs to be level 21 to reach the Minimum Total Ally Level of 300.


Mathematically it is impossible for normal users to get 8 or more SSR weapons during this event.

Hope everyone has scrolls and gil to level up their weapons once they arrive! And maybe some storage space too. Time for some spring cleaning if DeNA doesn't give us more slots.

Moogle Saloon ends May 7th 06:59 pm PT, good luck everyone!

-Also sorry for the lack of updates, my laptop still hates me. Although I heard Vivi posted some stats on World Squadrons so hopefully people saw that.

New jobs in FFB Japan

A little birdie says that Japan has gotten the beast master, bard, and black wizard jobs recently. About time given how bards show up on like 3 abilities already.

I dunno if I mentioned it, but I predicted bard requirement will be geomancer and orator. If try to find out more info to see if my hypothesis is correct. Edit: it seems to be a region clear reward

Final Fantasy Special Event Game Plan

The Final Fantasy Special Event a.k.a. the 25th anniversary event, is quite complex compared the previous ones, isn't it? Hopefully everyone has gotten the hang of it by now.

Anyways the point I like to bring up is that it is probably best to do as many 1bp attacks as possible so you can get alot of the exp books. Leveling the FF characters from the moogle saloon is very important to get SSR weapons later which are stronger than the rank prizes. (Yet they may not be super important given how there is always events going on where everyone switches to bonus event gear anyways.) CP is still important so you can be strong in your battles against Chaos for more exp books. Skip the crystal chest, it's not guaranteed that a crystal weapon will drop, go for the platinums to make max limit boosted SR weapons. If you have alot of crystals, transmutions will be easy to do to increase your str & def. You might not even need to fully limit boosted weapons if you have a lot of crystals.

Good luck everyone!

Exclusive Advance Signup Code

Today is the last day to redeem those exclusive advance signup codes. Since Kyle never emailed me about the that website backup data (which is such a shame since I really wanted it), I'll be giving it away later today, probably around 8 PM PDT, so check back then!

I also might have a scond code to give away should I hear back from another player who also has an extra code.

edit: there will be atleast 3 codes posted. first come first serve! good luck~

edit2: a 4th has been donated!

ok, have at them. let your brigademates know about them if you already redeemed one in the past.

It's a new week

Parts 1&2 ranking takes place today! Are you ready? The game added a count down timer do you don't miss it!

Seems the weekly tier expansion was temporary. Looks like it had gone back to what the game initially launched with. Oh well.

Cloud's Bastard sword had been renamed Buster Sword. It still sucks though.

I've been swimming in cp and red materia so I made more premium hearts before the extra part starts. All weapons will be drop from the chests so I wanted to get the fists before the odds got even more worse.

Didn't realize the Ashe referral thing ended already. But that's okay, because we got Terra now! New players use d02f3e39 to get free gil, x-potion, ability & summon stone!

More about the Extra Part~ Black Materia is finally available! So stop asking poor Noel about it ;p

No, the Apocalpyse is not available from the CP treasure chests, sadly. But should you want the rod or gun from part 1, they are available again.

Green Chocobos have returned as well! If it is like last time, the R,R+ espers will be available again. Along with the new Sephiroth II, Cloud IV, Aerith II, Tifa III, you can also get the Cloud, Aerith, & Tifa summonstones from FF7 Calamity from the Skies event.

Posted via the mobile app. Sorry not as chatty as usual.

Weekly Rankings

Just letting y'all know that the weekly Personal & Brigade Ranking tiers have expanded. For example, top Personal Ranking is ranks 1-1000 now instead os 1-100 and Brigade Ranking is 1-50 instead of 1-10.

Saturday, March 2, 2013

Gamble

Just curious. Is anyone planning on storing all of their CP in their MogBox until the 'Extra Part' Rakings start? It would be quite the gamble, but a 2 week head start would do wonders on your rank. Of course you would be potentially sacrificing any good rank during parts 1&2 by doing this. But it sounds like such fun. Or maybe just don't redeem for one week. That is still a lot of points.


By the way, I take no responsibilty if anyone decides to hoard CP for the extra event and should any CP dissappears from your MogBox for whatever reason should you decide to store CP in your MogBox for the Extra part rankings.


added: So rankings... It seems unlike the previouse events, there is no "midrank" for the FF7 event from my understanding and reading of event info. Parts 1&2 are one set of rankings with one set of prizes. Extra part is another set of rankings & prizes, where rankings are start afresh but I don't see any mention that inventory CP have to be used up because they will reset to 0, just the ranking collected CP is reset.  So it might be possible just to store CP in MogBox and pull them out after Extra Event Ranking starts.

Moore Region Unlocked!

Hope y'all have finished the Ronka region, because the Moore region is out! Completeing it gets you the Gambler, which you need to unlock the Assassin job class that has been teased in the advanced job section for a couple of days now.

I'll upload updated mini job trees sometime later today. Done.

Operation Jenova Part 1

Part 1 Duration: 2/27 Wed 07:00 pm PT - 3/4(Mon) 09:59 pm PT

Event seems buggy. Weapons and abilities from the Calamity From the Skies doesn't seem to have 3x bonus despite it saying somewhere that they would. Way to FAIL, DeNA.

Operation Jenova is a bit more complex than previous events. Read the Event Details page. Seriously. It even says (Please Read!) on the Event page. Read everything really. And do the quiz!

Monday, February 11, 2013

Ronka Region Unlocked!

The FFVI event has ended! How did everyone do? Prizes are out and seems like it wasn't mishandled this time around. Whispers through the grapevine claim the next event will a FFVII event. Hopefully DeNA gives a few days before starting any sort of event or they going to burn us players out!

After the event, the Ronka Region quest maps has been released. Completion of the 4 parts will get you the Blacksmith job, then Blue Mage and Machinist can be unlocked. A new color job tree will be posted later, cause I'm too tired right now. There is still http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/File:FFAB_Job_Tree.png you can use though.


Also today, there is a new friend code referral 'event' going on. This time it star's FFXII's herorine, Princess Ashe! If you are new to the game and would like a free ability and Ashe summonstone, then please my my referral code 2c75b7bb

Where did that Cross-Slash (SR) come from?

Just in case you used "Take All Shown" button, dont read the announcements on the airship page, and have no idea where the free SR ability came from...


Also new for today, Fat Chocobo is now available. Earlier it was redirecting people to the Airship page, but now it doesn't! Initially I thought it was going to be a cash shop item only, but then I learned that winning brigade battles will award Fat Chocobo items! (They should totally give away Vomp Carrots too, wouldn't that be nice?) I suggest trading in any SR/SR+ items that have a fast leveling rate since they kinda suck. Otherwise I don't particularly think it is worth using these premium/rare Fat Chocobo items on R/R+ unless you want new entries in your collection.

FFVI Event Gameplay Stratergies

I sorry I hadn't gotten a chance to write this earlier, but I've been tired and busy (and some lazy.) 

This week brigades are 94 players large this week. Depending on the % active players, battles are going to go quick this week! Great for anyone who wishes to farm Magicite Shards. (three 1BP attacks yielding three 2x shards = 18 shards total vs one 3BP attack yielding 3x shards = 9 shards total in a 40 minute period) *not including level 7 Deathgazes, those yield three 4x or 6x crystals* Also great for the Deathgaze defeat counts! Faster paced battles shouldn't adversely affect the CP farmers as you would only attack when you have a full 3BP to get the most CP overall (CP from 1BP attacks wont add up to what is gained in a 3BP attack.)  Other farming ideas have been discussed on older entries.

Brigade Battles
Having the brigade with more contribution points will be important during events. As I've observed and mentioned before, the losing brigade will encounter the Esper (with a Miracle Potion) more often and the winning brigade will encounter Fiends more. During non-event times, this helps the losing brigade to potentially catch up in points. But during events, generally no one wants to attack Espers or Fiends, so brigade battles could come to a standstill with no one killing the Esper and it could be exasperating that the other brigade gets to have a free-for-all on the Event Boss.

About Locke!
He shows up randomly for any type of brigade battle and will be around for 5 minutes starting from when you first click the Brigade button. Try not to go straight to the Brigade page if you have 5 or more minutes left to regen to a full 3 BP, you will only get annoyed that the Locke timer will run out before you regen to 3BP. If you can't remember what time you will reach full BP restoration, visit the Airship page to check your time. Want to know if Deathgaze has been spotted by your brigade without triggering Locke too early? Go visit your Profile via the Airship page check out the brigade activity log there.

FYI
Just in case you didn't know yet, if you click on the "Chests" or "Other" tabs in the Mog Box, a "Take All Shown" button will make getting things easier. Surprisingly, not everyone figures this out right away.

Blue Magicite
Unless you are using them Vomp Carrots, abilities are gonna be crazy scarce unless you are freakishly lucky. I really recommend saving Blue Magicite to transmute R Abilites so they don't suck. You get 2 free abilites, one from the quiz and one from Deathgaze defeat count.

White Chocobos
When I ran into a White Chocobo during this and last events, I got an SR event ability (once with no carrot, and then the 2nd time with a carrot.) Maybe because I got lucky, or because White Chocobos are just that awesome. But don't be blaming me if White Chocobos do give you crap. But please let me know the results regardless what happens so I can make a better conclusion on White Chocobo drops on event maps.

Damage
Various factors. You need strong summons, weapons & abilities. Seriously take the time to level up abilities, weapons and summons. The 2 brigademates you take into battle also make a difference, I've actually tested it and saw my total damage drop when I used weaker people. As I mentioned before, event weapon bonus is not active for the two that go into battle with you, so you want whoever has the highest atk/def. The game usually picks the strongest by default so you won't need to manually pick them. Using the summon low charges will let you summon more often.

Jobs Recommendations
Samurai - Str/Agi - Katana
Dragoon - Str/Agi -Spear

Viking - Str/Agi - Fist
Blackbelt -Agi/Int - Fist
Dancer -Agi/Int - Knife
Ninja - Str/Agi - Katana
Black Mage - Int - Rod
Berserker -Str - Fist

Transmuting
The Magicite cost decreases as you evolved an item. The 4th Evolution is cheapest, but 3rd is affordable and will get you your higher rarity item sooner if you being cheap on CP.

Analyze the numbers & decided what's best with whatever you can afford. I recommend having fully Evolved R+ Weapons for starters. Then fully evolved SR then when feasible, fully evolved SR+. It depends on how lucky you get on drops or how much CP you have to spend.

*Some image names won't match in-game names, since I made these before the Deathgaze event launched. They are what I guessed the localized English names were going to be.

I was a dumdum last week and didn't check weapon stats while doing  my transmutions and evolutions. Apparently I should have left my SR Lightsabers Radiant Lances untransmuted and just leveled them up to have multiple 17200/16740 weapons. GAR!

Long Live the Snow Flans!

So yesterday there was a bit of a squabble over the Snow Flans not dying in one hit. There was debate on whether the people who spawned it should be responsible for killing it, that who ever didn't kill on the first try should hit it again until it is dead, or whoever has 3 bp should take a whack at it. My opinion? Attack if you have BP to spare, don't waste it waiting for the Flan to die, especially since it could stay up for a good 10 minutes before it goes down (for my brigade anyways.) People should be grateful that we don't get stuck on espers, because that takes a larger collective effort to take don quickly

But it is funny how all the sudden these Snow Flans are suddenly living longer. It's due to people not optimizing their equips before battle. Event weapons are awesome against Deathgaze, but sucks against everything else (at the moment since no one has all SR+ weapons yet.) Even the people who don't attack need to optimize their equips if they are the heavy hitters of the brigade because they make a difference. Normally I can one shot a Snow Flan within the first round of attacks but after event launched, it barely finish it off by the 3rd round because the other 2 brigade members I used in battle had their event weapons on, which happen to be weaker than their normal stuff.

BTW event bonus does not apply to the 2 brigade members that go into battle with you. So you will want the ones will the highest overall atk/def.

Game Update!

*Dragoon needs lvl 10 Thief, Dancers needs level 5 Thief, sorry for the typo

With the addition of the Pravoka Region, a new class becomes available upon completion of the area: the Berserker class. (Unless they choose not to translate it as such, I haven't gotten that far yet.) Once you have the Berserker class, The Black Belt and Viking classes will be available for you to unlock as well.

As always, the full job tree can be found @ FFwiki



By the way, the "Invite friends" referral event is pretty easy. It is not just about convincing your family and friends to download and play the game for at least 3 days, it is about networking. Networking with newbies and giving them, the opportunity, to get a free Lightning summon stone. Be awesome and get those newbies something nice.

Farming Revisited

What are your goals?

Ability Scrolls
-Trade CP
-Defeat Golem or Sandworms
-Get lucky with Silver Treasure CP trades
-Get lucky with Treasure Chests from Mog Box
-Enhance things with N/N+ Abilities or Scrolls if lacking Scrolls

Weapon Scrolls
-Trade CP
-Get 3x Weapon Scrolls when Typhon is defeated.
-Get lucky with Treasure Chests from Mog Box
-Get lucky with Silver Treasure CP trades


CP
-Fighting Brigade Battles, Typhon, Golem, and Sandworm all award CP
--Seriously, it's not necessary to concentrate on Typhoon for CP. I, for one, get more CP from the Esper than I do from Typhon.

Magicite
-Depends on how fast Typhoon is dying. All out attacks will award 3 sets of 3 (unless you kill it when it has like no hp left, then you get 2 sets of 3 regardless of the all out attack.) I alternate between 1BP and 3BP attacks. Though on really slow battles I regen 3BP in time for a new Typhoon.

Gil
-Autosell N/N+ Abilities when questing
-Autosell N/N+/R Weapons from Mogbox

-Sell any weapons that have a leveling rate of 'fast'. They aren't worth leveling.
-Sell what you never plan to use.
-Sell crystals from last event if you aren't gonna use them. I pretty sure no other event reuses them (but dont blame me if I'm wrong). And I doubt the event will rerun anytime soon either given all the other Japanese events we have yet to experience. Up to you.

I'm scouring the web for event data (テュポーン&デスゲイズ). I'm pretty sure part 2 has to do with Deathgaze. Especially since the Typhon death count used to say Deathgaze. I got a lot of data organized & translated/localized though I'm not sure what order abilities released.

Post #18 - Farming

I don't particularly farm as much as I kinda hoard things, but I been reading other people's conversations about and it seems there are things people just have trouble getting.

Gil & Scrolls:

-Exchanging 100 CP for a Silver Treasure Chest [event] - Tip I picked up browsing the higher ranking people's messages. They say to sell all the unneeded weapons and keep the scrolls.
-When there is no event, you will have to settle for getting gil & scrolls from just brigade battles. Doing 1 BP attacks 3 times will get you 3 wood chests which will have either sellable weaps or scrolls.

Fragments:
-A lot depends on how quickly Chaos Bahamut goes down. 3 Fragments when all out attacking & 2 for single BP attacks (Thank you Piero) If CB dies fast then do a single attack. I missed like 5 of them waiting to get to 3 BP. The irritation isn't worth it, just hit it before it dies and get 3 sets of 2 crystals-'tis better than zero. Alternate between single and all out attacks depending on the flow of battle.

Crystal Points:
-Equip your self with like 10 max leveled abilities & weapons & do all out attacks. (But Flame Fossil, Howling Sword, Meteor Shooter R+ max evo sucks in stats compared to the other R+ event weaps when maxed enhanced/evolved) Also equip summon stones with the shortest charge requirements and level them up too so they can get activated often. Spaming BP restoration items help.

Contribution Points:
-Run around quest mode until you get a 2x points potion from Magic Pot or whack the esper during the 5 minute window of the Hero's Potion. Spaming BP restoration items help.

Abilities:
Quest a lot to increase encounters. Vomp Carrots on the Red & White Chocobos if you have them.

Post # 16 - More Observations

Did you know, that attacking the lesser boss (the non esper or event boss), that BP will much quicker than usual? I'd say around half, but it seems I don't get to fight the lesser boss that often. Yesterday my brigade encountered only one.

Also in US vs THEM brigade battles, I think the winning brigade faces more of the lesser boss & the losing brigade gets more esper encounters. Today my brigade got 29 S.Prince encounters defeats and only 5 Remoras. This be fine if there was no event boss that everyone was gunning for.


* okay the numbers kinda inaccurate b/c the other brigade could have done the kill during the cases when both brigades face the same enemy but the numbers are probably pretty close since the lesser boss dies b4 the other brigade could get to them usually since they are so weak.

Post #15 - Two Crystals or Three?

So it finally clicked today why I would sometimes get 3 sets of 2 crystals or 3 sets of 3 crystals. I think it is really dependent on how many turns against Chaos Bahamut you can get through. For example, I'm strong enough to get through all 3 turns against a level 4-6 C. Bahamut. But against a level 7 C. Bahamut I was only able to get through 2 turns before the party would wipe. At least until I worked on leveling up more weapons last night. Now I suck a little less :D

Level up them Event Weapons & Abilities. The 3x multiplier really makes a difference. If you happen to have 10 event abilities & 10 event weapons that are fairly leveled well, you will do well. (I have 2 max evolved & enhanced Starseekers for this reason)


Not that anyone is probably 'cause almost no one reads my rambles, but if anyone wants to donate, I'll take any Google Play giftcards or pre-paid credit gift cards in my quest to get into top 10 of the CP rankings. Contact me here! Unfortunately the previous Xmas prepaid doesn't have much left on it so I won't make it. If you play Ragnarok Online, I may have WP I can trade.
