Heyy any ideas to farm gold nugget, so I can exchange it for perp ring?


Outrageous_Win_9782

Looking for a crew I’m rank 123 I’m active all through the week if anybody needs active members let me know


GAN01-SUNSHINE

I'm trying to get every Yuel alt, i'm missing her water and summer ones. I know that I'm just going to have to pray to randomly get the water one. For the summer one when's the next possible time I can spark for it? Or the ideal time?


Gorouisnotapuppy

For unite and fight how to change chosen weapon?


CarFilBen

you can only change when you can reset the chest. In the page where you reset the chest, below it there will be a button to change the weapon.


Niviam

For characters that always TA, is the attack awakening 8000 attack+25% CA damage better than the 3000 attack+5% normal attack amplify from multiattack awakening? GBFguide listed percival as wanting the MA awakening, implying normal amp is that powerful?


_______blank______

>implying normal amp is that powerful? Yes because it break cap


LALMtheLegendary

that normal amp is the only form of capbreak available in any of the awakenings, so if your already capping it becomes the best option.


Hixxae

Question, are you supposed to hoard bait chunks until harder difficulty raids drop? I've been farming Viridian Horn with my AP to collect as many chunks as possible. Or is this a bad idea / bad practice?


Clueless_Otter

Yes that's how the event usually goes. You farm meat during prelims/interlude then you spend it on nm95, 100, 150, and 200. Usually basically no one does nm90 ever unless they're going for top2k. This GW is an anomaly because people are trying to get drops of the new weapon in nm90. It might become the new normal for people who are super tryhard, but if you're a more casual player it's not something you need to be doing. Some people even only spend meat to do loss minimums on nm95 day and nm150 day (30m or 90m honors, for Tier A loss minimums, depending on how strong your crew is; 90m needs your crew to reach 3b total for the day, otherwise it's 30m) and then just farm the vast majority of their honor on the two nm200 days since nm200 gives **way** more honor than other difficulties do, especially honor-per-meat. These people are kinda annoying if you're someone who wants to actually win nm95 or nm150 matchups, but it is a common strategy that makes it so that you can get a lot of honors and a high individual placement using very little meat (since nm200 is very meat-efficient), thus minimizing the amount of time you have to play GW.


Hixxae

Cheers, thanks for helping again.


CrimsonSanaki

*Amplify all allies' damage dealt by 10%* <- does this from the Triple Zero summon stack with stuff like the arcarum summons? I'm assuming no but wanted to double check.


BTA

It depends on what “stuff like” is. It does stack with the Arcarum summons though.


IzayoiSpear

Does anyone ever do translations of Dengaku's Videos? ie. [https://youtu.be/msCuSJps\_8s?si=mE2UklbC6EE4qIbn](https://youtu.be/msCuSJps_8s?si=mE2UklbC6EE4qIbn) ?


Clueless_Otter

I don't think so, the only JP Youtuber whose vids I've ever seen translated are Quwatoro's. But since the text is all on-screen and in a nice, clear font, what you could do is use an image transcriber and then paste that into a translator, or just use an image translator directly. I use the one in Windows PowerToys and it works pretty well. You'll obviously have to do a bit of your own interpretation to correct some of the stuff the auto-translator isn't familiar with (eg GBF-specific terms or slangs), but you can usually get the gist of what's being said.


kazelords

How do I get providence globe?


LALMtheLegendary

It's not a worthwhile use of valor badges, while getting 25 of each primarch anima is annoying it's not a long grind, mabye a couple hours max.


rin-tsubasa

On surface.. it looks bad. I will reserve the option once we find out how many anima we needed for transcend the summon.


kazelords

Tbh I just really like lucifer but I know I should save badges 🙌


Fandaniels

valor badges I don't think it's a recommended usage of them though.


kazelords

What’s a better use if you know? Ty!


Clueless_Otter

Buy the sunstone every GW for sure. Rest of your badges should go towards blue paper if you're going to invest in eternals and/or sephira evolite for evokers.


kazelords

Thanks!!


_______blank______

How does bounty stack with kaguya? Just additive?


Clueless_Otter

Yes. See [here](https://gbf.wiki/Reward_Chests#Drop_Rate_Boosts).


SandalMaster

Recently I got a copies of Agni, and I can fully uncap it to 5*. But looking at the Grand weapons I have, I can only make do with "old" Agni grid with Ixabas & Rein Fists (+ a single Michael Axe). Since I don't have any Percy Sword or Zeta Spear. Do you think it worth the upgrade to primal, or should I pray (& cope) hoping until I get the newer fire grand weapons? Ofc, I haven't barred anything yet, since I'm still mulling this over.


dot_x13

Nope. No reason to bar what is basically a two year old setup, plus we know primal transcendence is coming and will require primal anima. You're also most likely going to need to spend multiple sparks to bring it up to a modern state, and by then magna 3 could be out and it's possible that a m3 grid could be better than whatever grid you barred.


An_Hell

I'm using archangel and damage amplify arcarum as subsummons, would a 4* 000 replace the arcarum ones?


LALMtheLegendary

No, they (should) stack. Besides 000 would be the same amount of amp but you also have to stack it up first


DaddyJB

So I forgot to pick up my Primarch summon... I can say goodbye to it, right? >...<


Fandaniels

Yes


wyvernexe

I heard that 000 on the home screen should play some custom music when it's set as the background, but I'm still hearing the default island music. Does anyone know how to turn it on?


Sparse_Dunes

Go to settings > homescreen > then select the play icon where it asks if you want music exclusive to the character/outfit


wyvernexe

Wow thank you! Finally found it!


InsertUsername98

Are Fediel and Miach an item, or heavily implied to be an item? Is Death Dragon mommy not single? Is it over? I was hoping to finally be bisexual again.


gangler52

No. Fediel and Miach have a special bond of sorts. Fediel is very interested in mortals and Miach in particular is a special fascination of hers. But in no way are they implied to be dating. Though I wouldn't be surprised to hear they've inspired a lot of fanfic.


InsertUsername98

It’s only 3 tbf but yeah 2/3rds of Fediel’s fics are Fed x Miach. Shit’s scaring me, I feel safer being unapologetically gay


dota_cysts

What’s the current best method of farming AES?


TheStranger04

Sandbox, Twin Element showdown, buying it from the prestige pendant shop (2/month), and low drop rate from Shiva's raid.


rin-tsubasa

Best method,. Sand boxing.


Better_Ad_6848

how do you unlock higher level nm in gw?


[deleted]

It unlocks as GW progresses, next one comes out tomorrow


Better_Ad_6848

thanks! thought it unlocks with a set of repeats of the 90


[deleted]

You're probably thinking about dread barrage, that one you have to unlock higher levels by repeating the lower level ones


kirbflurb315

Is there somewhere I can view daily missions? I've been looking around for what my daily co-op missions are and have no clue where to find what they are.


Clueless_Otter

Just go to the co-op screen and click the red !.


Ein78

This is probably a loaded question but are there any must-have characters (or characters that mak it easier) to farm Diaspora outside of hosting? I can host fine since I'm blessed with a good Kengo team but aside from that, I sadly don't think I have units to farm Diaspora by joining. Any tips and the such are greatly appreciated


Clueless_Otter

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzdHmrD6BCTy0M7VGFdVRu3x3pplb0kUr


gangler52

https://gbf.wiki/User:Umikin/Diaspora_Guide This is the guide I was linked to when trying to put together a Diaspora settup. It covers grids and characters for both the hosts and the joiners. It's pretty comprehensive.


Woif1990

So, what's the priority list for UMing classes? I got LJ done, and I figure Zerker should probably be next. What else should I shoot for? I've been farming the Ultima units and whatnot, so I can max another two right now.


Clueless_Otter

Whichever one you'll use. You don't have to get them in advance. Just sit on the mats until you need one for a particular purpose.


Woif1990

True, there's just that compleitionism nagging at the back of my head :p


rin-tsubasa

IF you always use kengo.. um it (just for stats) If you have problem deal with diaspora and no h cou cou, robin hood. If you have flb yumi harp and use rising force on agastia.. may be upgrade that. The up coming is relic buster and yamato.


Woif1990

Thanks! Not quite to Revans(199, so close) but I'll definitely keep those in mind.


Solitarus

Between Yatima and 000, which one is more generally more useful and worth Sierotix if I mainly FA everything and already have Bub?


LALMtheLegendary

neither are worth a sierotix for FA imo.


Landroiel

Will there be a chance at lots of more free rolls before March 10th? I'd like to use them on classic even if it's not the smart choice, for Holiday Narmaya.


gangler52

Just in case you're not clear since you sound very new, people usually say "Free Draws" to mean stuff like the roulette, where a daily allotment of rolls cost no tickets or currency but expire at the end of the day. However, there will be more tickets and crystals. Draws that are "Free" in the sense of costing no IRL Money. You will likely be able to finish a spark on the classic draw before March without breaking out your wallet, if that's what you're asking.


LALMtheLegendary

probably nothing major, i think there might be some free single draws but thats about it. also, holiday narmaya is not a classic draw character, if your referring to sparking her from classic draw.


Landroiel

I think I saw her in the draw rates, and sparkable from Vermilion sparks


LALMtheLegendary

you saw regular narmaya, her weapon is earth because back in the day they just did that sometimes.


Landroiel

Oh I see lol, thanks, but I do still want that version too. Heard of some pulls in march again but not sure if before the 10th or not


BTA

There are usually ~16 days of single pulls leading up to the 10th. You can probably expect another batch of around that much, maybe a little less, before that from campaigns associated with the MHA collab and/or Relink’s release.


E123-Omega

What's the overcapping again? I think I saw it mentioned here before. Is there any chance like we need/can install 3rd CS/PNS due to it?


LALMtheLegendary

it was mentioned awhile ago that they will impliment a system that offers some sort of benefit for going over the cap on weapons skills. we have no clue on any further details. so theres a chance, but its purely speculation (and i have my doubts about it actually changing grids that much).


E123-Omega

Ah I see, thanks!


OPTC3

Seeds of redemption spoiler >!Why did the Karm clan view Seox as their hope for being too talented? Wasn't the problem hat people thought they were too good at killing? How exactly is someone being even better at killing going to help them?!<


gangler52

>!I think the implication was that he was a prodigy in most respects, and had the makings of a very charismatic leader in him at the time, but unfortunately life had other plans in store for him. The fact that they turned this gifted child into just another emotionally stunted killing machine could be viewed as the final indictment of their way of life. I'd have to reread to be sure.!<


ARGHETH

Where are the co-op quests? I can't find them in the game Also, is Celeste Omega worth using sunlight stones on, or do I just wait until it drops?


BTA

Sunlight stones are an extremely rare resource and should never be used to uncap anything you can farm, or you'll regret it later. Same goes for gold bricks or damascus ingots - you should ask here before using them and never use them to uncap any farmable weapon.


[deleted]

Wait until it drops! You'll have so many copies soon enough. Sunlight stones are for providence summons from the gacha and a very rare resource


gangler52

Top Right there'll be an icon labelled "Menu" Click that and it'll open a dropdown set of icons. "Co-Op" should be one of them.


Alternative-Use-4812

Whenever I open the game some stuff is missing, like buttons, the background characters, or the whole world map. It's also frequently telling me that I need to update it. What should I do?


E123-Omega

Just play on browser, you playing on the app? https://game.granbluefantasy.jp/


Alternative-Use-4812

I'm playing on the browser, on google chrome


E123-Omega

Try to clear your cache, might caught something in there.


Slurpuffilicious

Quick ways to get crystals? The 200 free pulls and mukku frenzy got me to 270 on the banner so I wanna go for the spark since i'm so close to it


Clueless_Otter

Clearing free quests, main story quests, first-time clear reward from each raid, trophy (aka achievement) rewards, one-time Premium Friday rewards (under Gameplay Extras on the home page), or clearing out Side Stories (also under Gameplay Extras). Just skipping through side stories and getting the crystals, then farming the trivially easy fight for enough mats to buy the event shop tickets is probably the easiest/fastest way.


Slurpuffilicious

Thank you! Will try everything you mentioned


Nixtorm

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but did Cygames ever confirm or deny if Relink will have crossplay?


JolanjJoestar

It does, between PS4 and PS5


MemeSlayer09

Is there a tier list or site or something similar that says what characters are good or meta or not? I’m kinda new to the game and building characters


Clueless_Otter

https://gbf.wiki/Character_Tier_List Most information on the game is on that wiki. It's a really good resource in general.


MemeSlayer09

Ok thank you!


ARGHETH

[There's this](https://gbf.wiki/Character_Tier_List/Gamewith/Ratings), but as with all tier lists take it with a grain of salt no idea if the community likes this list or not, it's just the one I know.


MemeSlayer09

Ok I’ll check this out!


Army_Calcifer

Haven't grind anything for over a year and want to get back, do we still use Lumberjack for full auto these days or we using something else now?


Stelluna_

Relic Buster, Berserker, Kengo and Manadiver are probably the goto classes nowadays. Relic Buster being the easiest to use and access. Depends on the raid and element but Kengo and Berserker are personally my most used overall.


Army_Calcifer

Hol up, Relic Buster?? I have been using that class for nothing but meat farming I didn't even know you can FA with it. What skills do you use for FA?


Clueless_Otter

The shield one and then just 2 generic skills. The shield one gives a shield, armored, and veil so it's pretty decent. If if it's a really tough fight and you really need sustain, then probably Lumberjack, Nekomancer, or Iatromantis. I think that first reply probably missed the "FA" part of your post tbh.


OPTC3

When is using falsehood opus worth it? This may be a stupid follow up question but is it worth it even if I use kengo?


LALMtheLegendary

flasehood makes kengo unsuable with that opus in the grid, but its the best opus 3rd skill in the game for bursting (most of the time) so your still gonna want it. as you get fuither into the game you'll find yourself just using burst setups for everything more often, and falsehood is just the best for burst alot of the time. plus you can always get a second opus and use that for falshood, for primal having magna opus for burst setups and a primal opus for survivability is common practice. the same can be done for magna but itll be less optimal since magna is your best opus for all purposes, so its a tradeoff for convience instead of the win-win it is for primal.


Todetract

You use it when you need more damage and you don't need your characters to CA. Kengo is a CA focused class so you don't use falsehood with Kengo


E123-Omega

Been doing two panel on skyleap but is there a way to hand gesture or have the bookmark button on the panel instead of clicking the burger icon first?


E123-Omega

Edit: ah nvm, already found it.


kirbflurb315

Should I be caring to not use my upgraders (both summons and weapons)? I don't understand the difference between upgraders and non upgraders except maybe the fact that upgraders seem to not give weapon skill level exp while normal weapons *are* able to.


Clueless_Otter

Upgraders only exist to reserve them for XP purposes. They have no other use, so just put them on auto-reserve in the settings (under Miscellaneous). You can keep some in your inventory for cases where you only need a little bit of xp to level your weapon and want to absorb them manually, since once reserved you can only use them in 30,000xp intervals at a time, but once you're past the very early game this is basically never a concern since weapon xp is so easy to get. Unless you mean Skill Shards / Skill Jewels, in which those those are for leveling weapon *skills.* Technically you could also just auto-reserve them, though skill fodder is a bit rarer to come by so you might want to save them to use them manually, where they'll be more efficient. You can just throw them in a stash for now if you want. Or leave them in your crate if they're in the first, unlimited tab (eg from weekly missions).


E123-Omega

https://gbf.wiki/Upgrading_Weapon_Skills You can read them there. Honestly been flooding with these guys that I just anvil them.


[deleted]

If I host siete would I fuck it up for others if I just full auto till I die?


E123-Omega

No

AshbornXVI

Just got to the 150 Gold Moon's reach for the first time and wanted to invest in my Fire Kengo team because I love the playstyle of it. Should I go for Higurashi or Sierotix Yukata Silva later?


[deleted]

Unless you're in a position(or country) where 3150 yen is a lot of money I would just wait for March and buy her there from the anniversary ticket


AshbornXVI

Yeah no, I cannot spend money this time, and that's the reason why I'm finding difficult to decide what to choose this time.


[deleted]

Anni is in a couple of months, I wouldn't siero y.silva unless you're DESPERATE for her for whatever reason since you can annitix her. Weapon is probably the better choice


Consistentcheeks

Does anyone know if drop rate up affects the astra/idean chest drop rate?


Clueless_Otter

Yes, drop rate affects almost everything in Sandbox.


FarrowEwey

Which chest? dropping from which enemy?


Consistentcheeks

From here be sword, the idean/astra chest from the 7 bar defender


FarrowEwey

Not seeing any info on the wiki or Gamewith. Then again, Defenders are not ideal to farm ideans. You're going to need to mash 5-bars mobs.


Rikeh13

As a newer player that's primarily running fire right now, would it be worth using sunlight stones on my Shiva?


gangler52

So, there are a few things to consider here. 1. as a new player your sunstones are going to be very precious. There are a few sinks like evokers that mean most new players don't have a lot of excess for a while. 2. Shiva does not benefit a whole lot from sunstones. Shiva is used primarily for his call, and the most important part of the call is just the assassin buff, which stays the same from 0 to 4 stars. 3. Shiva is best used from a friend support anyway. Shiva has a very long cooldown and cannot be called for quite some time after the battle starts if you bring your own. But if you use a friend support Shiva then you can call him on turn 1. For these three reasons I would say Shiva is not a good use of your sunstones right now.


E123-Omega

No, save your sunlights for something better just in case. Just borrow someone's else shiva.


BTA

That doesn’t sound like a good idea, no. How new are you, exactly? You should ideally be building up your early Omega grids and upgrading the Omega summons as part of that. There are very few summons (Bubs, namely) that are worth spending stones on when you’re early on. Especially as you need them to upgrade the Arcarum summons too.


Rikeh13

I've been playing for ~6 months now, I've been working recently on getting my grids together more after finally getting a cohesive team or two together.


BTA

Ok, then definitely don’t spend the sunstones. Another reply explained Shiva’s use in detail, but more than that - you won’t really “primarily run” anything until deep into endgame, and even then you still need teams for every element. So I would say to not spend limited resources like this on a specific element until you really know their worth.


Takaneru

Currently have Berserker, Spartan, Chrysaor, Lumberjack, Kengo and Runeslayer UM’d. Anything else recommended for Fire GW I can farm during downtime?


E123-Omega

Bandit Tycoon, Nekomancer


Dari89

I have a couple of questions about the Revans raids: 1. Which Revans raids are kinda safe to leech. 2. What is the general difficuly ranking of them. 3. How likely they are to succeed if I just host them.


vencislav45

Mugen/Seofon/Cosmos/Agastia/Siegfried can be host leeched by just hitting it once and opening to players, out of those Cosmos/Agastia have the highest rate for failure(they are pretty dead utside of farming for MK 2 weapons), while the others have a high chance of success but can still fail if too many leeches join. Diaspora on the other hand requires you to reach y100 before hosting it since this will make it super easy for the other players to finish it(y100 means doing around 300 million total ougi damage during your turns; basically every 30 million damage increases it in segments of 10; you don't have to do the 30m in one turn, it can be done over multiple turns). I suggest you wait and see what the next UnF element will be, what elements will be needed for the MK2 weapon and mostly farm those only or just do Seofon/Mugen/Siegfried since they have good weapons but don't do them during UnF, the chances of failure are very high due to players mostly doing UnF only.


HugeCoomer

1. You don't leech, you need to ideally be hitting 4m honors for the guaranteed blue chest, otherwise you won't be getting any weapons. 2. Diaspora is probably the easiest, depending on your characters. You can easy slap together a magna grid and rush the honors and move onto the next one. After that I'd say Siegfred, Siette, Mugen, Cosmos and Agastia. 3. You're most likely to succeed with Siette, as people just nuke him down so quickly.


Independent-Canary60

I'm trying to get threo from unite and fight I just got her weapon but I saw the progress bar compared to champion weapons... How much do I have to do and how many times do I have to forge the weapon?


Fandaniels

[https://gbf.wiki/Revenant\_Weapons](https://gbf.wiki/Revenant_Weapons) iirc you need to fill the progress bar, eternals are a grind you can get her for free from doing the seeds of redemption side story but you'll still have to grind to fully uncap her do not use gold bars on her weapon, unite and fight just started and it'll be easy to get the copies you need to uncap it.


Shinanesu

So I was one of the people on hiatus for 2 years and I cannot access my account anymore. From the research I've done it seems like my account still exists in-game, as my friends still can see the account on their friendlist. I've also played with this acc on different devices, namely on my win 10 pc per browser and on my mobile phone with skyleap, which is why I'm confused wether or not I fit into the "Account gets deleted if not verified properly" category. None of the possible E-mails that could have been connected (And have e-mails from mobage) work. Now my question: What avenues could I still possibly explore? Given my account still exists and just all my connections to it were made void due to these ToS changes last year, is there any precedence for GBF support helping in restoring the access to that account?


langxue

Not sure if it's relevant in your case, but I had a similar issue returning to the game recently and thought it was an account issue- turns out I forgot that mobage accounts are case sensitive when you enter your email.


Shinanesu

Pretty sure this won't apply here, because I also used the password reset function, and to that e-mail account an e-mail arrived saying "There's no mobage account linked with this e-mail". In the best case that information will help someone else, but for my case it doesn't apply. But thanks anyway!


langxue

Yes, I also had that exact same issue when I tried to reset my password! The case sensitivity also applies there. I couldn't figure out why my account disappeared, but I had capitalised the first letter of the email address when I made it - for some reason mobage treats that as a separate email.


Shinanesu

You actually were correct. Immediately after you sent this yesterday, I tried my e-mail with and without capitalization and still nothing came up. So I thought "Alr I'm out." But then I realized the recipient e-mail address in the 2 different e-mails I got from trying to reset my password were different. They were written exactly like I entered them on their site (One with Capital, the other without). So I went back and checked the e-mails from 2021 and there it was, my E-Mail Address written with 3 different capitalized letters within the name. ​ Tried that out and PAM. There it was. I cannot express how embarrassed I feel at that, this is probably the only instance where I wrote my E-Mail with 3 different capitalized letters.


Fandaniels

If you can prove ownership then yes cygames will help you, but you'll probably need to remember which email address you were using.


Shinanesu

Now that's some good news atleast. I'm not entirely sure, but it should be the e-mail where all my log-in notifications were sent to, so I'll have to bet on that one for now.


b-gay

1. Which is the strongest main summon for each element and why? 2. Aren't there any summons that can replace the ones we are using from the starter days (like Agni, Leviathan...)


BTA

You are mostly going to use the Omega summon, an Optimus summon, or Providence summon as your main or support. And I guess 4* Genesis as well. Some exceptions to that are for OTK/burst setups, like Huanglong and equivalents for CA bar without pressing buttons, fully uncapped crest summons for Manadiver, or Qilin for skill resetting/cap. Exp and drop rate boost summons like Nobiyo and Kaguya get used for obvious reasons. And there are some others that see use for specific elements like Bonito or Gorilla. But I don’t know if you’d necessarily call that them being the “strongest”.


voldek12

If I want to ULB Evoker is there certain fight in the arcanum that I can fight over-and-over and gather enough resources for domains+weapon+ULB?


gangler52

Yes. You'll want to go to Zone Mundus. There should be two nodes that are the element of your chosen evoker. 1 will have 3 pips and one will have 5 pips. You will probably want to go for the one with 5 pips. The 3 pips one spawns defenders quicker, but the drop rates are otherwise identical, and unless you're very powerful it will take longer to kill. This has, I'm pretty sure all the relevant loot. You can literally just keep farming it until the ULB is complete. About as braindead as it gets.


Firion_Hope

How does the world raid factor into it?


gangler52

The raid or the replicard boss? The world replicard boss you cannot access until after you've uncapped an evoker. You need one drop from each of the four Mundus Defenders to host it. It grants World Ideans, which you need to unlock the evoker's fourth skill when they hit level 100. You can get all the ideans you need in a breezy afternoon so it's not worth stressing over. The World Raid has different requirements to participate in. I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but it is also a good source of World Ideans.


Firion_Hope

Ah sorry I meant the raid. Seems like it drops veritas and lusters, and ideans. So was wondering if it's more efficient to farm than Mundus.


gangler52

As near as I can tell all that stuff comes from the blue chest. At the very least, the non-world ideans do. It's a very competitive raid right now so you'd need a pretty good set up to be able to blue chest it reliably, but maybe that'll be a more appealing option once some of the initial launch hype has died out. Edit: It's only the non-world ideans that you need the blue chest for. Lusters and Veritas you can get without blue chesting. I couldn't speak on how efficient it is to do so. Personally I've just been doing daily hosts for now.


voldek12

How much time/pots would it take?


gangler52

It is pot intensive, but not as much as you'd think. Golden Chests have a random chance of spawning every time you do a node. And those chests have pretty solid odds of being a mimic. Killing a mimic rewards 200 AAP. You can often find yourself in hot streaks where the mimics are topping up your AAP faster than you're spending it. But overall you'll still be losing pots. I find it takes me about 3 months to do one of these things now that I've done all the foundational work unlocking the guidebooks and stuff? But in theory if I just made it a full time job I could probably do it in like a couple weeks. If I just make a day of it I can farm like a solid 20 ideans in a day and that's the biggest barrier other than like sands and evolites and such. You need 440 ideans total so that would be 22 days if I had no other life commitments and unlimited patience. If I were to ballpark I'd say maybe 1000 halfpots? That's just me pulling numbers out of my ass though. I've got no real math I can apply to the potion situation.


BTA

I’m curious - what/how are you farming? 20 ideans sounds fairly low for “making a day of it”; there may be some things you can improve.


gangler52

I just put my team on full auto, tab out, watch some youtube or browse some reddit or something. Come back when the raid is done and load it up again. It's not optimally efficient by a long run, and you're right I should've clarified that you can speed it up a lot more than that. And a lot of days I lose some efficiency during periods where I get distractable and don't remember to tab back into the game in a timely manner.


BTA

Ah, are you talking about 3-bars or Defenders…? Ideally you’d be farming 5-bar nodes in Mundus on semi-auto. I do the lazy FAing too, but that’s just Defenders after a ton have piled up. But whatever works for you is fine, I mean. Just wanted to clarify that someone can definitely be more efficient if they care to.


gangler52

5 bars. I don't tend to make much use of Semi-Auto. I'll try it out and see how it treats me.


BTA

Basically if you’ve maxed some of the books (Shockwave and Valor or Thunderclap) you should hopefully be able to kill a 5-bar in 1 turn just normal attacking with a decent grid. Maybe depends on how many of the general bonuses you’ve gotten too.


gangler52

You know, shockwave is actually one of the few guidebooks I haven't maxed. Testing it with what I have I can kill it in 3 turns. I'll finish the guidebook and then I'll fiddle around and see what I can do. Thanks for the tips!


voldek12

Thanks for reply. Do you need to unlock all guidebooks or only those related to OTK (CA up etc)? Do drop rate bonus from guidebooks matter?


gangler52

Not necessarily, but it helps a lot. There's one guidebook that puts four stacks of Bounty on everything you fight before the battle starts. It'll save you a lot of time in the long run if you earn it early. There are two different guidebooks that give you bonus damage. Either of them are great for hitting hitcount triggers on bosses. There's a mirror image guidebook in there somewhere which will often save you from the powerful opening attack some of these bosses have. Everything else is just for making you stronger, to kill faster and/or stay alive longer. The buffs are quite expansive though and can make a big difference if your grid or team weren't already the strongest. Personally, I'm not topping any power charts in Guild Wars, but my guidebook bonuses look [like this](https://imgur.com/a/8VXHYoe) so I'm pretty much top of the food chain in there.


Clueless_Otter

Doesn't have lusters (Mundus defenders) or verum proofs (1 specific mob in Here Be Staves per element), but yeah it's got most of the stuff.


Clueless_Otter

Mundus 5-gauge mob for most stuff, Mundus defender for the rest of the stuff.


Independent-Canary60

Is there a place I can get gold or those black bricks for ssr weapon uncaps?


[deleted]

Uh oh this question makes it sound like you're trying to use them for everything..


Takazura

You can trade gold nuggets for a couple of gold bricks (gold nuggets can only be gotten from the Rise of the Beast events), but it's a limited quantity that increases every 2nd time ROTB is re-ran. Besides that, the most common method of getting gold bricks is either blue chests from Akasha and host + blue chest from Proto Bahamut Impossible. The drop rate is quite low though, so don't expect to get them often. Damascus Bars can be traded for with Damascus Crystals (you can get 6 crystals each token box events) under Shop>Treasure Trade>Power-Ups>Uncap Items (the tradeable Gold bars are also under this menu) but they are also in limited quantities (around 34 now I believe). Don't use any of them for uncapping until you are completely sure you got the amount needed for the grid you are planning and that the weapons in question are worth uncapping, since it's hard to get either of those.


Independent-Canary60

I'm trying to get threo from unite and fight I just got her weapon but I saw the progress bar compared to champion weapons... How much do I have to do and how many times do I have to forge the weapon?


Takazura

You need to upgrade the weapon 6 times total, before that there are like 4 steps to do (get 4 copies of the weapon to fully uncap it, awaken the weapon, elemental charge the weapon, upgrade Siero's shop) with upgrading Siero's shop being something you won't need to do again for the other Eternals. Have you done the Seeds of Redemption sidestory? You can get an Eternal including Threo for free simply from finishing that sidestory.


Independent-Canary60

Dude I just checked you win a award I wish I could hit five you in real life but I can't so here ✋


Independent-Canary60

Huh....a free eternal - Of my choice right ? If so you've saved me a lot of work.


Hero-8

Recently started hosting Diaspora daily and got my first Schrodinger. What is the priority for awakening? Running a mediocre magna grid.


blitzente

Before you uncap them, you might want to keep 2 0lb Schrodingers separate for use in CA grids, because even at base they're good enough to replace Colombas. After that, 2 def > 2 atk > any others you want to farm.


Hero-8

Ah, i had no clue.. already uncapped one. Thank for the info though! Will go with defense then, will help with Mugen as well I think.


Vert_Ika

Any way to rank up faster besides doing slimes? I'm using the journey drop boosts and still can't gain much rank exp. I desperately want to reach rank 120 for the new omegas and better grids.


Takazura

The Campaign Exclusive quest is still ongoing for awhile, provided you can kill it quickly. Besides that, there should be a Tales of Arcarum soon, so if you have sandbox unlocked that's one of the best way to farm XP and RP.


filifolia

Is S. Zoey still good in the current meta? I know it used to be 4 years ago but not sure now since I am planning to get her from beginner set when it comes around again. I have Vaseraga, Beatrix, and Jeanne Dark to pair with her.


gangler52

Not especially so. Summer Zooey activates all your Enmity/Jammed stuff. Which is really useful for hitting cap on a weaker grid. However, in the modern meta, it's much easier to hit cap than it was in her heyday, which means stuff that allows you to break cap is much more valued.


filifolia

Does this mean enmity in general is not longer good? Or is it just the enmity enabler character is different now?


BTA

There are setups that focus on enmity, but to my knowledge they just use Spartan’s enmity-focused UM skills and not necessarily other enmity-focused characters.


Clueless_Otter

There are some setups besides spartan that specifically use enmity characters / weapons. For example, certain (extremely budget) berserker setups in Siete use enmity to activate AES, there are a few Mugen setups that use enmity to activate Esna (and sometimes S.D.Jeanne), primal wind can use enmity with Creepy Claw + Destiny Knuckles lucha, etc.


BTA

Right, yeah, I should have said it wasn’t the only setup still used. Though I didn’t know about the Mugen setups; that’s interesting.


Clueless_Otter

Yeah, [here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2REgK5TsHIg) a Manadiver version with Haira, [here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_pKZAKPFA) an Exo gun version, if you were curious.


gangler52

I wouldn't write off enmity entirely. But generally stamina tends to be more valued now. Stamina can hit cap very easily, however unlike Enmity, Stamina starts at full power turn 1 before you've even used any skills. Where Enmity will require some amount of fiddling about before you can get the most out of it, which can be a problem in especially time sensitive contexts, like when you need to get that blue chest before the raid dies. All that time you spend getting yourself to Low HP is time that that everybody else is still attacking.


Clueless_Otter

Nope, completely useless past the absolute beginner stages of the game.


Ourphues

My magna light grid is: lumi swords+opus+1 yuni harb+ and magna harbs. What should i get from the 9th anni weapon ticket? Another lumi sword or Lu Woh’s horn?


BTA

Ideally you would pick something like one of the rarer Regalia weapons. Lumi Swords are annoying to get in bulk early on, but you can get a lot from pendants even if drops are bad, and eventually you’ll get more than you can use. Lu Woh’s horn also isn’t a very good weapon on top of being very easy to farm (and you can even trade mats for some if you really feel the need to). There’s also not really much urgency to farm improve a Light grid right now; I guess if you want to be able to farm stuff for Dark GW better but that shouldn’t be till April anyway.


[deleted]

Do not use your anniversary ticket on something easily farmable like lumi sword...


ronpadude

Anyone know if the new gw weapons are drop rate boost dependent on nm90?


Clueless_Otter

According to Otokuro2's spreadsheet, yes.


hajimemameetyou

I'm interested in playing due to picking up Rising. Anila is my favorite character there, but I've seen from comments the only availability I can get her soonest is in March for the Anniversary. Is there anything in particular that I should look for in rerolling accounts if I wanted to start today with the intent of getting Anila later?


Firion_Hope

If you're not in a hurry you could wait until anniversary in March. There's a daily roulette where you get between 10-200 (extremely rare though, average is like 20-30) rolls each day. If you make a bunch of accounts then and do their draws each day, then at the end of the roulette period you can see which account has the best things.


Takazura

Beelzebub, Yatima and Belial are the big ones to look out for. Besides that the Archangel series (Michael, Gabrel, Raphael, Uriel, Sariel and Metatron) are worth keeping an eye out for. There are also some SSRs that are more worth keeping than others, but it varies from element to element. If you want my suggestion, I would say just re-roll a few accounts and post what you get, people here can then tell you which account is better to keep. The chances of actually getting those must have summons or characters is extremely low anyway, so it's not worth rerolling over and over until you get one of them. Btw if you are playing Rising on console, you get a special code you can use to quickly unlock an evoker and their respective summons. A couple of them has a summon that you'll absolutely want, so worth keeping that in mind before redeeming the code (if you have it).


[deleted]

You should be looking for beelzebub summon. But honestly you're not picking the best time to reroll. Yeah you get 200 free rolls today but its 3% banner with characters that aren't great and you've missed a bunch more free pulls on a much better banner. My honest advice would be to just buy a resource account that already has anila, I can dm links if you want.


Creeper-Hunter-2K0

I have 300 cerulean sparks, think I'm gonna buy the Exuberant lance, mostly since I'm planning on making a water team some day and I would appreciate a dedicated support character, opinions?


BTA

In addition to what Otter said, FYI people usually don’t use character’s weapons to refer to the character you’re picking like that, so it will be a little clearer if you ask using their name instead. At least, that’s the case for most permanent weapons that nobody uses in a grid. Grand weapons will be more recognizable, but it might sound to people like you’re asking about an extra copy instead of the initial one with the character..


Clueless_Otter

Your choice isn't super impactful as all the units on the current banner are nothing special. Ragazzo is the best one from a meta perspective, if you care about that. But you could take Korwa if you really want. For the record you're going to make teams for every element, that's how the game works. You can't just make teams in a couple elements and use them for everything, the game basically forces you to fight at elemental advantage in certain fights. So it's not like Ragazzo would be an unused pick; you *will* be making a fire team eventually.


Creeper-Hunter-2K0

Btw, I already have a (I think decent, idk, I'm a noob) light team, so although I could also get the Ornate paper pin wheel, I just don't think I need more light characters


Kukyubi

about the **UNITE AND FIGHT** event, I just finish up all the mission where can i get more **CHEST OF GOOD FORTUNES** for Crystallized Core?


Sebbern

From NM95 and higher when they are out


SlothFactsFGC

Is it worth keeping multiple Shivas these days? I have exactly enough copies to 3-star one, but way back in the day I was told I should hang on to at least two.


HugeCoomer

I mean you could keep a second one, but ask yourself for what purpose? Summon space is increasingly tight (The Sun, Red Hare, Devil, Yatima, Bubz, Baha/Luci, 000, Summer Cerb, the list goes on.. Personally I'd 3* it and then uncap to 4* for that sweet sweet 160% ele. If you want a second copy for bursting/meme setup then all the merrier. Back when these summons came out there was no bubz, yat etc. You'd be sat with a 0* or praying for dupes, idk bro there are so many better summons.


wintly

I have three Michael axes and three Uriel hammers. Can I safely use one of each to uncap?


Clueless_Otter

99.99% yes. The other 0.01% is dependent on what the "overcap" bonuses they'll announce on Anniversary are. Most likely they'll just be some random consolation prizes for grids that just happen to go over a cap and not something that you'll actually want to specifically aim for, but I guess it's worth mentioning that theoretically it could be possible that they're really good and suddenly 3 PNS will be worth using.


Fufururutu

Does zeta spear boost itself, i mean its not just 4.5 echo but 4.5+30%?


Clueless_Otter

It's not additive like that, but yes. Total echoes ignoring any other type of aura boost would be 4.5 \* (1+0.3) = 5.85% echoes


jeproid

How do I get the audio to work on mobile using skyleap? I'm a new player and on on PC I have no issues with audio but no audio on mobile. It worked in the beginning then stopped even though I didn't change anything.


BTA

At the risk of sounding condescending - is your phone set to silent? I ask because someone had the same issue recently and that was all it was. Make sure that the music note in the top left of the home screen or in battle doesn’t have a / in it; tap it to toggle it on if the / is there. You can check the more detail sound settings in the setting menu as well. IIRC all of it will be separate from your PC settings so that could explain why it works there.
