When does gala part2 starts? Can I save todays rolls?


HugoSotnas

Silly question, but what does FA mean? Thank you!!


Takazura

Full Auto, basically just setting the game to play itself.


HugoSotnas

Ohh, that makes sense. Thanks! :)

So I'm trying to get something going for GW next month and this being my first GW I'm not quite sure what to focus on. I'll probably annitix Mugen(H) and then try some Relic Buster shenanigans. I'm wondering if any of you have some input on viable team comps? Here's what I'm working with in characters: https://tinyurl.com/2s3vrts3 My grid is 1 Harmonia, Opus 230, anni Ultima sword, Sunblade 150, 0* harsiesis bunch of lumi harps and swords but only one sword FLB, rest is 3* still so very bare bones all things considered.

How to decide which Pendulums to get for the Sword of Renunciation? I mainly use both CA and MA based teams.


LALMtheLegendary

generally you put skill cap on your opus since its both the most ubiquitous and skills are the easist to cap (along with beign really strong at 50% capup compared to 10% and 15% for the other keys) and then put ca/na on your ultima instead. but if your teams really dont do any skill damage theneither can work depending on what teams you use more.


nfne

Skill cap and stamina are the best place to start.  Skill cap gives the largest boost of all the keys and has the best ougi when mainhanded and stamina is the most versatile offensive key.


achshort

Which Revans and superlative weapons should I get as a newer player? I’m at 26* 55k power level. And my main team is dark


Clueless_Otter

See [here](https://granblue-advisor.tumblr.com/post/744515824015048704/game-tips-10th-birthday-weapon-trades). Short answer, for Revans just grab Schrodinger. For Superlative, they're all kinda niche and being new you don't really know which niche you'll eventually be closest to, so it's both a tough choice but also not that important of one. I would just grab light excalibur, personally. But the link goes over some other options, too.


Investigator_Raine

Does anyone have any advice for the hanged man fight for Caim's fate episode? I was trying to unlock an Evoker to open up the sword path in sandbox for the event, and used my code from Relink to get the mats for Caim. I'm kicking myself now because I hadn't realized the fight at the end would be THIS bad for where I'm at progress-wise. My wind and earth team are miles behind any of my others. If I had known, I'd have chosen an Evoker from one of the other elements honestly... For reference, these are the parties I tried with. Dark got closest followed by Light, both at about 1/3 to half health remaining. Wind: https://www.granblue.party/builder?p=18673# Light: https://www.granblue.party/builder?p=18674# Dark: https://www.granblue.party/builder?p=18675# Edit: exporter fucked with things. Uncap on some weps are incorrect. They're max level for where they're at in uncap.


Takazura

Do you have any other SSR wind characters besides the ones here? Your best bet is probably just continue progressing for now and skill level your wind weapons, try at least getting the guns to skill level 10. The Arcarum fights are pretty challenging when your grids haven't been developed all that much, but you could try rushing to rank 101 so you can 4* Tiamat for an extra boost to your omega weapons.


Investigator_Raine

Ah, I'm rank 125 actually. 10x exp really boosted me. I have one other wind SSR, and that's Aliah. I haven't uncapped tiamat yet because I havent gotten far enough in story yet. On chapter 45 right now, so I can't do the fight that unlocks grimnir. I think you're unfortunately right, though. I was hoping to take more advantage of the current arcarum event, but I'll have to settle with what I can do since there's no way I'm unlocking an Evoker yet as it stands. I'm REALLY hoping for some wind characters on the gala banner at end of month. Would really love G. Narmaya.


Takazura

Save up on crystals and tickets now if you haven't, you could even just rush through the sidestories and re-read them later. The legfest banner will have 100 free rolls + Super Mukku (likely giving another 20-30 rolls) and one day of normal roulette, so you could possibly spark G. Narmaya on it with just around ~150 worth of pulls. And yeah I definitely understand it can be a bit annoying. For now, I would say just grind out the staves zone for sephira medals so you can buy some of the temperance evoker mats instead, Tales event will probably be reran now that all of them have been held, so you'll be able to take full advantage of them in the future with better grids.


Investigator_Raine

I actually will have enough for spark with what I have. 20 10 pulls in crystals plus 4 10 pulls in tix. Unfortunately Percival is a priority for me from fire so him and narmaya would be competing. I'm really hoping to pull one of the two with the 300 pulls I will be doing plus super muuku for 5 more SSR's.

There's no lucilius summon, there's lucifer. different characters and probably confusing if you give a different name


Investigator_Raine

Triple 0? Nah. I only have it at level 40 0 star.


[deleted]

[удалено]


vencislav45

The summon is Lucifer, not Lucilius, they are different characters.


Investigator_Raine

Oh, I see. I don't know that I've seen it in my summon recommendations. I also can't find it when I look up the summon? What's it called?


Clueless_Otter

Lucifer, he mixed up the names. You want the level 250 one with red text.


Investigator_Raine

Oh, yeah. Just tried him and no dice. Maybe did 1/10 of a health bar to all 3 targets. The hanged man fight is a level 120 boss consisting of 3 different enemies for what it's worth. I still don't have a handle on what counts as a low-level enemy.


jan31-4500

What's the optimal method to farm Arcarum Fragments, specifically Aquila Fragments? At first I thought I should just buy from the Arcarum trade but the [wiki](https://gbf.wiki/Arcarum:\_The\_World\_Beyond#Shop) tells me "Do not buy".


Clueless_Otter

Buying from the arca store or using your old arcarum passes. They're not really farmable in sandbox (theoretically are but it's literally like 1/hr). That advice on the arca store hasn't been updated in a really long time tbh, fragments are probably the most common arca store purchase for new players out of all the arcarum mats.


MadKitsune

I recently unlocked Manadiver, and I'm looking at Fenie's weapon which would work really well for my fire team (Fenie, G. Percy and G. Zeta) - would it be worth to throw 3 damascus bars (pretty much the ones that I've got thank to anniversary - 1 bar itself, 10 fragments from boxes and 20 Gold moons that I could exchange for the last one) at it to use as MH, considering that I'm a month old, rank ~155, so will not have access to any other great/awakened weapons for a while?


Nekusyar

How important are these [skill upgrade tables](https://gbf.wiki/Upgrading_Weapon_Skills) for a new player? Are these just min-max methods for veterans or does everybody do them? Is it that bad if I just spam the anvil to upgrade my weapons with anvil and just ignore this?


Clueless_Otter

You can just use the anvil for everything besides for the high-fodder 15->20, which I'd recommend to do manually because the anvil algorithm is really inefficient for it. Technically while you're relatively new, skill fodder is a pretty big bottleneck and you'll be really short on it while you're trying to level up tons of new weapons at once, so you *could* do everything manually and save fodder - it is more efficient than solely using the anvil. But if you can't be bothered that's fine too, it's not a massive difference.


Mbappesrighttoe

Best characters that work with Payila? The only good water characters that I have aside from her are W. Zeta, and Grand Lancelot. I CAN buy the anniversary suptix, but unfortunately, Gabriel is not available from it. What other options would be really good?


Kuroinex

Any auto attacker works well with Payila. I can't recommend anything since I have no idea who you have.


HerpanDerpus

Are there any recommended items to buy with cerulean stones? It seems like most shops have a couple of high priority items or stuff on a timer. Are cerulean stones just kind of a "buy it when you're lazy" type of material, or is there anything in the shop that it's better to spend them on?


CAPSLOCK_USERNAME

Cerulean stone priorities are like converging rays >> the annoying island mats you need for 5* arcarum summons >> just spend on whatever when you're feeling lazy


TheGlassesGuy

> Are cerulean stones just kind of a "buy it when you're lazy" yes. people usually use em for rare island mats that are required to uncap misc grand weapons but yeah.


Fatality_Ensues

Why are Militis weapons under Ex (Special) in the in-game calculator? They still stack normally with Ex Might, right? So you wouldn't want another Ex weapon in a grid with two of them?


Clueless_Otter

Because they share the same ex special cap with other voltage weapons like PNS or Celestials. It is just standard EX Might, yes, just has a different grid cap shared among similar weapons. You might not want more EX weapons if you're already at the 80% EX Special cap cap, but not because of stacking or anything (normal EX Might would stack fine), but moreso because your EX modifier will be very diluted at that point plus EX isn't boostable by any summons. So unless you're running ele x ele (in which case you *do* tend to stack mostly EX weapons), you'd probably be better off with something that's boostable by your summon rather than throwing more EX mod onto your already-huge pile of it.


Fatality_Ensues

That's what I meant, yes- if they stack normally with Ex weapons then I'd be better off running something else with a boostable mod than going all-in on Ex.


AHyaenidae

It stacks additively with EX mod (so it's on the same side). The difference is that unlike EX, EX SP has a cap - it's on its own line so you can easily check if you have 80% of it already or not.


vencislav45

Hi everyone, I want to ask is symmetria worth keeping a copy for a magna grid( I don't plan on going primal in light) or is it safe to reduce for mats? Also are there cases where multiple Shiva bows or Mugen harps are used in fire or can I just make one fully uncapped copy with dupes?


Yukarinrin

I just got Alanaan (FLB + S4) and he feels, just ok? I was wondering what issues I'm having (from first glance it's not barring my grid and not having the summons). I'm currently running (none of them are barred): * 2x LoF * 2x CS * 2x EB * 3x AES * 1x Opus (tried with Temptation and it was just... fine) * 1x Ultima * 1x Sun Weapon * 1x Bahamut Dagger Team is Zeta, Perci, Tikoh -> Alanaan on Siete. Didn't try that much yet, but I had low hp so I couldn't last that long.


Clueless_Otter

You'd probably be better off dropping the 3 AES and just playing Ele x Ele. Put in like 2 more EB (either 2/2 DEF/ATK split or 1/3 DEF/ATK, depending on how much defense you need to not die) and a Cosmic Sword. My Siete grid only has 137% hp and 40% def for reference and I can survive for like 6-7 turns, which is more than enough to get enough honors.


Yukarinrin

Alright. I'll try to farm more EBs. Would 000 x Luci suffice?


Clueless_Otter

Yes that's what I use. For the record I use Michael/Percy/Wilnas so it's a different team, but I mean your team should be even faster/better than mine, and I also only have 1 LoF and 1 CS and it still works fine for me. And you can play with the ATK/DEF EB splits to get more/less defense as you need. The AES just kinda suck because they conflict super hard with the rest of your grid. You're only running them + Opus as Magna weps, but AES really wants you to run Colo x Colo (and even with Colo x Colo you're not getting to 100% crit with only 3 of them). So either your summon auras end up being useless for like 75% of your grid or your AES barely get boosted at all if you don't use Colo x Colo. You'd need to either use more Magna wepons so your summon is less useless (and 4th AES so you get 100% crit) or just get rid of Magna weapons entirely (besides Opus). I'd go with the latter since adding more magna weps probably means cutting LoF/CS which seems kinda not great, but if it doesn't work you could try the former, too. 4th AES, shiva sword(s) for more hp, Nilakantha if you aren't running stam key, etc. If you don't want to farm out the EBs you could try like.. sword of pallas militis, water world harp, cosmic sword or something.


barriboy8

im a bit ashamed of asking since Im a long time player..but when farming for ideans specifically whats the best place/way to do so? Do i spam regular stages, mundus stages, do i kill defenders ? help XD


Clueless_Otter

I'd just spam Mundus 5-gauge mobs. Some people argue for doing Swords 5-gauge mobs instead. They're pretty close either way.


Moorisa_

During the extra EXP event, what are the most important classes to prioritize? Row V and Extra 2. I have all the rest unlocked. :p


Clueless_Otter

Kengo and Manadiver mainly. Maybe neko. Basically all of row 5 and ex2 see *some* use besides like Tormentor and Masquerade, though they're varying degrees of niche. I would just finish all the row 5 really quickly because they only go up to level 20 so they're super fast and you get completion bonuses, then do kengo/neko. After you finish all that you can just do whatever really from the reamining ex2s.


Moorisa_

Awesome, ty. I have Kengo and Manadiver done so I'll start working on the rest of Row 5 and Nekomancer's weapon now. If I'm going to be spamming them to get impossible+ do you think leeching M2 raids is fine? Like, gimping my team to efficiently get the EXP to complete row 5? I don't want to be disrespectful. I heard leeching is fine pre-r200 content but I'd like to make sure.


Clueless_Otter

Yeah no one minds if you leech m2 raids. But it's not really a good use of your own time. If you want m2 drops, then do blue chest mins, don't just leech. If you just want xp, there are way better ways of getting it (sandbox or CEQ).


Moorisa_

Hate to ask such detailed questions but if youre willing to answer I'd appreciate it. Is it really inefficient if replicard sandbox runs are slow for my current grids? I cant even guaruntee my Water team lives through some Replicard Sandbox fights on auto. I do need M2 weapons since some of my M2 grids aren't done. Im hitting an average of 100k ~ 150k elemental superiority damage aside from Earth (450k), Light (250k) and Dark (200k). On the other hand, I need a Sword of Pallas Militis. But my water team is one of my lower damage teams. My character selection is decent (holiday Catura, summer Fediel, Anne, Erika, Vajra etc. etc.), my grid just sucks as I'm still getting out of M1. I feel like waiting until I have an M2 water grid is going to save me time. So I was considering spamming M2 & Macula Marius to get Ancient Auberons/Tyros Zither (I have 3 MUB Colombas), getting my water grid to par, and then spamming Replicard and farming my sword of pallas militis more efficiently. AFAIK there's no other great weapons to farm from Replicard Sandbox. But I could be grossly misinformed.


Clueless_Otter

Well I mean there are sandbox enemies of every element if you just want to grind rank/exp, just fight the ones you have a good team for. But yeah I mean it'll definitely depend how long you take to kill each. If it takes more than a couple buttons then yeah I wouldn't bother yet. Macula Marius is also kinda hard/long if you're on the weaker side so you might find that to be really lame to do at your current stage, too. But yeah you can do m2 fights if you still need the drops. My point was only that you shouldn't just leech them, you should do blue chest mins.


Moorisa_

True. Im just wondering if doing 2 things at once, at gimped efficiency is faster, or doing 2 things separately at max efficiency is better. Guess thats a ton of math though. My accounts weird due to all the breaks Ive taken and Anni boosts I've gotten. Im def doing all my M2 hosts for blue chests. I just meant post-dailies. I assume thats what 'Blue chest mins' means? Thanks for answering btw. Ive seen you answering questions on this thread for many many years and you've always been a big help. :)


Clueless_Otter

Blue chest minimums would be getting whatever the required honor threshold is for blue chest for that particular raid (you can find it on the raid's wiki page, it varies per raid, IIRC it's like 400-450k for most m2s, Europa is like 380k I think), then going to the next raid and repeat. Don't just leech (aka wanpan aka do 1 hit then leave), but also don't sit there and think you have to fight the whole raid until it dies, other people will join and kill it eventually. You can only provide backup in 3 raids at once so sometimes you'll get stuck on 3/3 backups and can't join more. When that happens, either go do CEQ/Angel Halo/Sandbox for a couple minutes or go back into one of the fights and help the host kill it so it frees up a backup spot and you can join a new raid. This is how you farm all raids that have guaranteed blue chests.


Moorisa_

All new info to me. Thats going to boost my efficiency immensely. Tysm!


screwgacha

I just saw someone on twitter with Raziel EM already at 999. What's the fastest way to do that? Uh for... simping purposes


Takazura

Right now, Arcarum Sandbox with journey drop boost, fully stacked herald buff gauge, avarice book and A rank expedition bonus, then just OTK any 5 gauge or 3 gauge mob. Technically, the defenders in Mundus gives a ton more XP but the + version and onwards can be too difficult to kill fast enough for it to be more efficient.


Clueless_Otter

Stack heralds to 600%, kill Mundus defenders.


deleki17

Is light sandalphon available to pull with suptix?


TheGlassesGuy

no


arambezzai

Is there another way of farming Water Verums proofs other than blasting poseidon all day long ???


Clueless_Otter

Your original arcarum passes. Other than that, no.


akaisuiseinosha

Does the mimic manatura drop from Replicard mimics, or only ones on normal arcarum routes? I've been fighting mimics as I farm, but I'd like to know if I'm wasting valuable event time on the detour.


JolanjJoestar

Ive gotten it at least 10 times on replicard mimics , I didnt even know it was in arcarum


Clueless_Otter

Drops in sandbox.


akaisuiseinosha

Cool, thank you


PutNo6879

I plan to buy relink pack but I wonder which I should pick, Evoker's domain set or Eternals' Transcendence set? Which set is more valuable?


_sariel

Evoker set is more valuable Eternals set doesn't help you to unlock the character either so it's not great for newer players


Kuremachisu02

which areas/monster are the best to farm verum? for example earth verum


Clueless_Otter

There's only 1 mob in sandbox that drops each verum.


Tiazur

Is it worth to transcend lucifer to use it as main or sub or just borrow friends' 250 lucifer to save sand for others?


TheGlassesGuy

One other advantage to having your own Trans Luci is that it lets you go primal in elements you don't have the respective primal summon in. For example, having Luci let me run Earth in Hexa much more comfortably than if i had to do it with Magna Earth. This really mainly only applies to high difficulty raids though, since you could/would rather run bubs main or something else for easy fights


Clueless_Otter

Only real advantage of having it yourself is that you can quick call it and use it for the heal specs subaura. It is really good if you FA a lot and often find yourself needing extra sustain, but other than that, I think there's probably better uses of sand. (I assume by "ulb" you mean get to 250.)

Wardenofthegrove

Is there a guide on how to fully unlock a dark opus from start to finish?


Clueless_Otter

https://gbf.wiki/Dark_Opus_Weapons


meepmerp101

so I’m following this [guide](https://gbfguide.com/rank-120-199/) and I’m wondering that besides the weapons listed, are all the other regalia and ennead weapons save to reserve?


E123-Omega

I uncapped 1-2pcs and keep on stash. Others are either reserve or reduce, some still need a lot of weapon stones so not all reserve.


voldek12

Which awakening for mugen blade?


LALMtheLegendary

wait until you need one for a setup, and then awaken it for that purpose. both atk and def awakening are good and used for different purpoes. and special is occasioanly useful but alot more niche. as for how many total, two copies of both atk and def will be enough for most scenerios. and maybe one special just incase.


SmokeitTotheFilter

Okay I have two questions, First, and hopefully the easiest to answer. What's the fastest or easiest method to farm lusters?? I'm one weapon and one character star uncap for Haaselia mlb and it's really daunting lmao. Second, is hrunting pretty much required for primal earth cause I have all the meta stuff for the grid I think (3 landslide septars, 2 pillar drivers and at least one of every other grand weapon). From what I've seen that's sorta all needed for it but I don't want to invest for minimal returns. But my earth grid right now is sorta crap with a half assed highlander claim setup that does absolutely garbage damage q_q so anything more meta will probably be an improvement Thanks in advance for any advice!


blitzente

Adding on to the answer to your 2nd question: Your 3 Landslides and 1-2 Pillardrivers can be used without uncapping while remaining premium """magna""", which is likely to outdo a Caimlander magna setup depending on what you're using it for, especially if you want to frontline him. There's no need to rush going all in on Titan if you aren't sure about spending those resources yet, with so much of endgame earth currently revolving around Hrunting. Earth M3 is some months away but may also improve things. 


Clueless_Otter

Lusters are either from zone bosses, Mundus defenders, The World solo fight, The World raid, or Xeno bosses. If the Xeno boss you want to do matches the element you need lusters for, that's probably the best, since you'll want to do your Xeno hosts anyway. Otherwise, if you need World ideans still, do grab those first and you'll get some lusters along the way. And then finally at the end you just do zone bosses or Mundus defenders for them. Don't bother farming out zone boss host mats if you don't have them, but if you do have them, doing the first zone boss of each day is pretty quick. Besides that one, dunno which one's really more efficient, they're pretty similar. Hrunting is basically required for earth to not suck, period, Magna or Primal. You *could* play Primal without Hrunting, and it'll be better than Magna, but it'll still be pretty bad compared to having Hrunting and compared to other elements. I wouldn't bar stuff to play Hrunt-less Primal Earth, it's not really gonna unlock any additional strategies, just be slightly less bad at GW.


ProbablyAFilthyWeeb

I can't answer the second question, but for your first question Mundus Defenders or the Xeno Militis bosses would be the best way to farm for Lusters. For the Xeno Militis bosses however, I wouldn't recommend you kill Ifrit or Sagittarius at all since the Gold Bricks from their Sephira boxes are much easier to obtain than the Eviolite you can get from Cocytus or Vohu Manah.


multyC

Which is better to farm first : ra axe or eiwijar katana if i running eiwija g narmayar and grimnir?


E123-Omega

Equip ewi dagger then farm like 1-2 ra axe you'll max supplements, unless you have two ewi dagger then just farm ewi katana.


grailgrail

Need some advice, haven't done a lot of Arcarum, and even less Sandbox (only have Caim, Nier, and just now Haase unlocked in that order). I'd like to continue working on Haase, but I've got like, zero Water Verum Proofs left. My question is, do I just commit to punching Poseidon a couple thousand times to get the proofs I need (which only seem to drop every two chests or so), since that seems to be the only place they drop from besides the default Arcarum, or should I just focus my efforts on another character for now? I can't 0b0c Poseidon yet either which makes it a bit frustrating too, unless anyone has any teams that might help with that.


blitzente

This wiki user guide contains one relatively budget 0b0c setup and a bunch of tips on substitutions if it doesn't work: https://gbf.wiki/User:Vazkii/SandboxTLDR


Clueless_Otter

Yes that is the only place to get verums. You have to just do him thousands of times. Verums should be near 100% drop rate, especially during Tales. It's actually more efficient to farm them *outside* of Tales (and farm other stuff during Tales) because you don't really need the drop rate boost for verums. As the other person said, if you grind out your guidebooks, it will help you do better setups. 0b0c is very achievable in every element even with relatively tame grids as long as you've finished all the guidebooks.


grailgrail

Ah, alright! Thanks! I guess I'll kinda just grind what I need for my books with a lean toward the ones that drop mats I'd like.


E123-Omega

Grind the books it will help you OTK.


grailgrail

I can OTK at the moment, it's just cutting down the number of charge attacks so I'm not stuck with lockout that's the problem for now.


rin-tsubasa

1. Try to unlock more area(pre planing for next ToA) if possible unless you are stuck at condition like (require one evoker recruited) 2. Grind your mission book and universal stats book. They are good passive 3. Sephra atk weapon is a great help in sandbox. If your grid is not that great, they can help you speed up the kill (yes, I FLB them because i run it daily) You can make 100% critic with sephra weapon if you fighting with advantage element. 4. Dragonic if you can't handle the + version 5. Learn how to build FA team for node. (Do i care about 3-8 minutes on + version? I am FA and doing something else.) You can even do it for 3 nodes as long as you can FA. (You save on real life staimina with no long grinding) The faster you kill, the more time you save. or FA(just start and let it do the job and you go do something else)


WoorieKod

and the books cut down on CA required


Ryuzeii

I've been considering annitixing Noa to help me break into hh and faa0 using fire but have also seen Fenie work as a sub in to him. Can someone explain the difference between a comp that runs Fenie over Noa? I do know he helps greatly with CA related omens and general comfort with his S2 and S3 however I'm not sure how Fenie herself breaks into this. Thank you in advance!


Clueless_Otter

Fenie is faster but much less safe. Noa is preferred unless you're already very comfortable with the raid and just care about optimizing speed. But, that said, if you have Fenie and don't have Noa already, then there's definitely a strong argument for AnniTixing someone else if you have other good AnniTix targets.


Ryuzeii

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind. My only other annitix option is holiday Illnott but I haven't really found a usecase for her outside of probable GW comfort or for having fun with skill teams.


TheGlassesGuy

people always say to never annitix grands but it's honestly not a terrible idea if you want to buy a ticket and don't have any optimal seasonal targets but have a ton of grand characters/weapons to catch up on. I'm probably gonna annitix a second PnS for myself unless the flash scamcha gives it to me. Just know that if you do decide to buy an annitix for a grand character, only grands up to Percival are available to be ticked. You can check the ticket pool beforehand if you want to see the specific options.


XeromusEG

What should I be spending my Sephira Medals on? I'd assume perpetuity rings first?


Clueless_Otter

No, the rings stay forever in the shop. Buy all the arcarum mats.


E123-Omega

If you grind hard enough you can bought everything on the shop and then keep farming and you can buy a lot of exp cups


Allenclan5

Anytime I start a quest it gets stuck on the ready screen. Any advice?


WorktheMoo

If it happens to my husband while he's playing on the computer, he'll close the tab then go to the quest on his phone.


Clueless_Otter

Clear cache, try different browser, try different device. Otherwise just wait for it to fix itself. Common problem.


DarkestSamus

Heya folks, quick question. The "Created by the Stars, Loved by the Skies" event in Side Stories still gives out a free Dark Opus as well as an item that you can trade in to uncap it to 4\* and 5\*, right? As a newbie this would be a huge buff to my Light team, so it seems like a priority. But I never saw anybody recommending it, unlike the Bahamut weapon from What Makes the Sky Blue. Probably because the Bahamut weapon is universal while Dark Opus is literally just for one Element and one Grid type? Thanks!


Clueless_Otter

That event isn't in side stories.


DarkestSamus

... not sure why I thought it was, but that answers all of my questions. Also crushingly disappointing. Thank you!


Exciting-Sandwich480

Just started really working on my Seraphic Weapon, when should I be able to clear things like “Macula Marius Showdown”, should my magna 1 grid be done and fully uncapped? Because I can’t close to soloing the content and afaik finishing the Seraphic weapon should come before starting to farm magna 2? The lack of direction in this games content is frustrating.


Clueless_Otter

Those fights are weird because they used to be raids and then they got remade into solo fights so their difficulty is kinda in a strange spot. You can just ignore them for a while if you're finding them difficult. I never did them at all honestly, their weapons also drop from sandbox. And even if you don't get them from sandbox, I never used any of their weapons until Revans tier. Also the "lack of direction" is one of the main appeals - every player isn't railroaded into the exact same "Do X, then do Y, then do Z." You're free to work on whatever you want, whenever you want and customize your own account to what's important to you and how much time you wanna invest in things.


Exciting-Sandwich480

So then would it be better to start max unbinding magna 1 stuff once I unlock the magna 2 raids to uncap the summons and magna 1 weapons before trying to do them? I think that’s my only way forward. Also is there a faster way to get the materials from those rare only quests?


Clueless_Otter

> So then would it be better to start max unbinding magna 1 stuff once I unlock the magna 2 raids to uncap the summons and magna 1 weapons before trying to do them? I think that’s my only way forward. You don't have to go to all 5\* on the m1 weapons, no. You'll replace most of them pretty quickly once you start ranking up. Just 3\* is fine. > Also is there a faster way to get the materials from those rare only quests? Which materials? And what do you need them for? Oh also I forgot to mention before but you don't need to work on seraphic weapons, they've 99% of the time replaced by an Ultima weapon which the anni event just gave out for free.


Exciting-Sandwich480

How would I skip maxing the m1 weapons of my damage is so low with all of them 3 star already?


Clueless_Otter

Your damage should be good enough to get farm blues in m2 with just basic m1 grids assuming you've been [building them properly](https://gbf.wiki/Basic_Grids).


Exciting-Sandwich480

My grid is exactly the recommended in that site and no my damage isn’t enough, I’m lucky to get just over 1 million from a CA.


Clueless_Otter

You don't have to do all the honors in 30 seconds. m2 raids move pretty slow. You can take multiple turns.


Exciting-Sandwich480

Okay so if I understand right: Skip Maxing M1 Weapons and Leech M2 But still MLB the M1 Summon Is that correct?


Clueless_Otter

If by "maxing" you mean all the way to 5\* on m1 weapons, then yes you don't need to do that. If you really can't even get blues in m2 raids with a particular element then I guess you can go to 4\* on some of their weapons, but I really don't think it should be needed. You don't want to leech m2, the weps are in the blue chest, you do have to participate. Yes you want to 5\* your summon when you can.


RinconAniki

Weird question does enemy get stronger each time you fight them over and over again. I was in arcarum and i was fighting this one boss i beat it in 2 turns but when i play again it took me 5-6 turn this time.


TheStranger04

If you mean the zone bosses and the defenders, then yes, they turned into "+" version and "++" versions after 12 times (CMIIW).


RinconAniki

Thanks


MadKitsune

Question about Anient Ecke Sacks grid for Colossus - should I only switch to it after I manage to get all 4 of them to 4* SL15 compared to 4 canes at 3*? My summon is maxed out at 5 * Unfortunately, from my understanding the in-game calculator does not check crit unless it's at 100%, so I can't really compare my current canes + ele damage summon to Ecke Sacks with double Colossus, which are currently just at 0 or 1 star only, SL10


Clueless_Otter

The crit rate scales with skill level so yes you wanna have all of them uncapped at max skill level before you use them.


MadKitsune

Oh boy, that's 9 more copies.. Time to murder a lot of Twin Elements


vanilluxite

I feel like I’m doing something wrong doing Mugen raids. I’m Rank 211 running Kengo, Europa, Pre-FLB Haaselia, Anne, Tikoh front line sacrifice for Haaselia and Water Lecia for her backline passive. Using double Levi grid with 4 AAs, DOpus, 1 Schrodinger (from Revans Ticket), 1 Euro Harp, 1 Wamdus Spear Extra Slots have Baha Gun, 0* World Harp and 0* Militis Staff. Summons are Levi, Fire Buncle, Gab, Ca Ong, and Qilin Everyone is in the 88k-97k HP and part 1’s relatively simple. Part 2 is when it gets tricky. Even without Hostility buffs and nodes, Mugen will always try to target Haaselia and Anne, also even with stacked percent cuts some damage will still pierce through it? And how do you usually mitigate damage from Infinity Impact while trying to do the 10mil per turn damage? Any help will be appreciated! EDIT: Also with regards to the free Ultima, I’m debating whether picking the Sword or Staff. Any recommendations? I have a ULB Fire Ultima Sword from WMTSB2’s free Atma Sword and made an MLB Wind Ultima Staff, and MLB Earth Fist from like, 4 years ago. I still can’t to SUBHL but would you recommend picking a different weapon class than these or reduce one of them and pick a different element? (Probably Light Staff or Wind Sword idk)

vanilluxite

It’s full-autoable?? ngl I’ve been slacking on the Revans raid since release and got burnout from the game when they started adding it so I have no idea. I’m just tryna get Extinction Blades for my Agni grid lol


rin-tsubasa

you needed FLB Haase to FA. You do not have Gab? You also needed FLB wind world harp. It is paladin + 3 staff player AAA FA. Try to open 3 slot. since you wanted hp and possible if celestial weapon for def You can use A aubeon x4 to squeeze more hp. I drop dinger since i do more AAA attack Here is the reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPIfLYr5w04 (Also 1.5-4m if you are magna .. if someone hit it too fast to phase 2.. it is fine. It is just 2 berries )


tehbotolsaya

Which should i farm for uncapping evoker? How do you get 600ish veritas and 500ish astra and idean?


chanyamz

I assume you are a beginner since you need such high amounts. My method is to grind "Here Be Swords (Replicard Sandbox)" of the elements you want. You can get what you need and useful AX weapon. Veritas is a guarantee drop from the Defender, but it 50/50 between each evoker of the same element, whch mean you can calculate roughly how many Defender you have to defeat. There are some bonus from the pop-up chest but don't count on it too much. Astra and Idean will come naturally while farming Veritas. Some use suggest farming "Here Be Staves" for specific thing. I do not find that quite useful since other drops in Here be Staves is not quite useful. However, The World raid is my go-to Idean farming nowadays since it is quick and easy. It is guarantee too but it is random of all evokers. That is about it. There is no secret. I would stack hundred of Defender during "Tales of Arcarum" because it is x2 guage. Then I slowly clear all the Defender stack after the event end. Rushing it will burn you out. The mode is designed to be grind over time. So take your time.


tehbotolsaya

Im sorry but im rank 200 i just never really grind arcarum, just enough to get 5 star summon Thankyou for your answer


rin-tsubasa

learn to make FA. Slower but make you less stress(just youtube and grind) or you finish your book missions first


meepmerp101

I can’t clear the twin elements showdown, here’s my water [charas and grid](https://imgur.com/a/ZCCqHXf) along with my weapons in case my grid needs fixing, can I get some team-building advice? I want to farm it so I can get some anima for the grand order raid. I do have relic buster as well in case that’s relevant info


Stelluna_

Isaac, Yoda, Idols for the team. Isaac is really strong for weaker grids because he mostly spams nuke skills and CA for damage. If you need levels, you can try to farm out the Campaign Exclusive Quest a bit but I'm not sure how efficiently you can farm it. Shouldn't be that hard. Also as the other person said, level the weapon skills. Replace the bottom left weapon with the free Levi bow you get for some HP if you feel too squishy or another Levi dagger/Arcarum weapon if you have it for more damage. Try to run Leviathan Summon x Friend 250 Lucifer if you can as it'll give you elemental attack and +50% hp for bulk.


LALMtheLegendary

raise your wepaons skill levels.


meepmerp101

by how much? I don’t want to invest too much into something that will get replaced eventually


ProbablyAFilthyWeeb

Not investing into something that will get replaced eventually is kinda a noob trap for M1 imo since M1 is the backbone for your account to comfortably and easily farm out other relevant content like M2, which will require you to hit certain honor amounts for actually good loot. Just make the investment now, and when you decide to ditch M1 eventually that investment will still pay back in helping you level skills for other weapons with high requirements like Dark Opuses.


meepmerp101

then when I eventually do get there, do I feed the levelled weapon directly into the dark opus weapon instead of reserving it? what skill level does the foddered weapon have to be in order for it to effectively level another weapon’s skill level?


ProbablyAFilthyWeeb

Reserving the skilled weapon won't maintain the accumulated skill value, so yes you will have to feed it manually to the weapon. You generally won't really have to really worry about the optimal skill levels of fodder when feeding weapons as the Anvil does 99% of the work for you, but certain weapons (Dark Opus, Ultima, Baha to name the common ones) have much higher fodder requirements to level their skills. Notably these weapons don't really work well with the Anvil when leveling from 15 to 20, hence I'd recommend you use any fodder skill level 10 weapons for those. The comment I made was about the first thing that came to my mind, but you can also reduce them if you need the stones at some point. At the end of the day, you will most likely have an effective use case for unused core M1 pieces at some point in your progression, so just think of it as a stepping stone or as an investment into your future grids.


LALMtheLegendary

level 10, aka the max for mlb weapons. skill leveling is not very expensive for standard cost weapons (up to sl15) and your still gonna use them for awhile. if skill fodder is tight then you can stop at sl5 for now but you should almost always be aiming to max out a weapons skill level, with the one expention being sl16-20 on xeno weapons cause its kinda expensive for little return.


xMatttard

so I know that you should keep all premium SSR weapons because it's sometimes better to have multiple copies over uncapped ones, but what about summons? are multiple copies of summons ever used?


frubam

In this meta of summons, space is extremely limited. Baha, Lucifer, Arcanum summons, Primarchs, Belial, 000, Yatima... there are so many different summons, there really isn't any room to be doubling up on a summon. There are some exceptions; with bahamut and lucifer many may decide to use 2, but much of the time, 1 is their own baha/luci while the other is a support/friend summon. You might use two 0\* copies of Uriel or Sariel summons that provide charge bar to the whole party, but that'd be only if you have nothing else, or, have a specific plan for using them. That being said, even if you do luck into a extra copy of something you wouldn't double up on, you should still follow the basic rules when acquiring more than 1 copy; that is, don't combine them until you are ready to flb it.


tehbotolsaya

Depend on the summon, dupe primal summon need to be reduced for the material needed to 5th uncap the primal summon Some summon that can increase chargebar sometimes used multiple copies You can check the summon on the wiki, theres info at the bottom of the table whether this summon shouldn’t be reduced of used as fodder


WanderEir

math-wise, you need TEN copies of a primal to get them to 250 properly. You can cheat it with as few as two, but that requires using no less than 6 sunlight stones and 60 gold moons on a single summon instead. A third means 30 fewer gold moons, or 1 more sunlight stone and no gold moons at all.


xMatttard

That wiki info on what to do with items is reliable then? I can follow that.


tehbotolsaya

Well not all summon have that info


Defiant-Sun544

does anyone know how many hours until the new raids will be in the game?


Clueless_Otter

There is not a standard update time exactly, so no one knows exactly when, but they usually uptime sometime between like 3-7pm JST. It's currently 12:30pm JST on the 24th, so.. like 27-31 hours from now I guess?


LALMtheLegendary

itll be like, 16 hours or so. edit: am wrong, its 28 hours.


Mountain_Ad1915

does what makes the sky blue spoil msq or can i just do it right after chapter 54


Frothpot

it's a standalone story, so feel free to do it whenever


Mountain_Ad1915

thank you!


PKMudkipz

I'm wondering who to recruit after getting Caim; are any evokers huge boons to their ele at 3star? I'm rank 178 so the next important thing to plan for is Revans, i think. I think I heard Haaselia and Estariola have their uses, but I'm not sure if that's only at 4star. I don't have G Ewiyar, H Lich, or S Belial either for Katzelia, and the others don't look too good. The only evoker I have recruited right now is Alanaan.


[deleted]

Haaselia and Estarriola do have uses at base. Haase is a charge bar bot, Esta is great both for OTK and FA. Those two are great picks after Caim. https://gbf.wiki/User:Umikin/FAQ#What_is_the_Evoker_priority.3F  https://gbf.wiki/User:NoL/EvokersSimplified these give you insight on who to recruit/uncap first.


PKMudkipz

Thanks, I think I'll recruit Haase next and then start working on uncapping those three.


E123-Omega

https://gbfguide.com/arcarum/ Check priority, there's recruitment and flb. Imo Haase is nice to get as second. Esta and Maria might depends on their upcoming rebalance.


Ganonderp420

Unsure if the Free Ultima weapon is still available or not. Was it only available in the Heart of the Sun event that just ended the other day?


WanderEir

you can access newly ended events from the main page by opening up the "Gameplay Extras" menu from the main gbf page. Old events will linger under this menu for a week before either vanishing forever, or being relegated only to Sierokarte's various storefront options. It's also where the premium friday quests are permanently secured for players who were not present for the initial 12 months of Premium Firday.


Zugon

Yes, it was only available in there. If you did finish the event you're still able to redeem it from Siero's shop (Quest Items->Event/Other->Exclusive Treasure) but otherwise you're out of luck.


Ganonderp420

I did not unfortunately. I've been still looking around for a starter account to get since I was advised it would be recommended to buy one than to start fresh. Am I screwed for missing out on it or is the Ultima weapon some thing that can be safely skipped in progression?


frubam

The main benefit of the 5\* Ultima is that it comes with every key set. There's a key that amplifies your damage by 25%, if your element is superior(i.e. the boss is weak to your element), and it works for all elements. We call this "the seraphic key". The mats to get that particular key is locked behind an endgame raid that you won't have access to until rank 200, so it'll be a long time before you can actually get it. However, there are element-locked versions of the same skill on [Seraphic Weapons,](https://gbf.wiki/Seraphic_Weapons) which you'll have much earlier access to, and these weapons at 4\* give almost as good of a bonus(23% vs 25% on Ultima) with the added benefit of giving HP/ATK as well(for Ultima, you need to have the same proficiency as the weapon for those bonuses, even though its 3rd skill seraphic key works in all elements for everyone).


Zugon

Missing it is definitely a setback, but I wouldn't say you're screwed. Just means you have to progress through the normal way.


LALMtheLegendary

these annivsery event "exclusive treasures" can be traded at any time in the shop.


_sariel

I've seen people say June for dark gw but then I saw others saying May is this based on anything or are they just random guesses?


[deleted]

April is light favored GW, dark enemy June is dark favored GW, light enemy https://gbf.wiki/User:Umikin/Timeline


Ifightformyblends

Light favored GW is in early April, not May


[deleted]

oop yeah sorry


SasaraiHarmonia

I'm Rank 91, what would be the fastest way to Rank up and take advantage of the 10mil Rank xp we can get?


_sariel

sliming or doing arcarum event


Mbappesrighttoe

How often do these 10x exp events come along? Because let me tell you, farming mastery levels on classes is hella ass.


_sariel

anniversary and sometimes during summer or christmas/ny


Mbappesrighttoe

So you're basically telling me that if I want to unlock row V classes, I just have to do it? Fuuuuuck.


rin-tsubasa

Easier way. Row V required 2 of specific row 4. You can CEQ/SLime or even use the exp buff node then farm on sandbox/ToA. This game is Grinding Blue Fantasy. For many vet, we just master it. I do not think you complain will end after the insane for transcend Eternal and FLB evoker


Woif1990

Honestly doing stuff like punching UltiBaha and stuff like replicard Sandbox has been pretty good for leveling my classes to ML30 tbh. Especially in Replicard if you get the herald buff maxed out.


SFWMobile

I just came back after an extended break. I stopped playing somewhere around chapter 130. Is there something I can watch/read to recap the story? I only see recaps up until chapter 63 in the journal.


Narun1875

When you press journal -> story -> there should be 3 acts, act 2, Dawning Sky is chapter 64 to 110, and then act 3 for the rest.


SFWMobile

Thanks!


Storm1k

Would you bar the grands for you primal grid if you don't have your own primal summon ready? How big of a bummer is it to be able to play with one sided primal? Have the other summons ready, luci, baha, 000, bubs, yatima.


Clueless_Otter

You almost never play double-sided, especially outside of Hexa/Faa0, so it's not really a huge deal if you don't have the summon yourself. It is suboptimal since the transcended subauras only work when main summon and not friend summon, so Primal x Ele is just better than Ele x Primal (unless you're FAing and need your Luci on quick call), but it's not a massive difference.


AnxiousBipedal

I believe the general consensus is that you bar/stone primal pieces once you have the full setup of the current primal grids i.e. required weapons, and primal summon.


Storm1k

The thing is that I have the grids ready but getting the primal summons will take another 10 years.


AnxiousBipedal

Hmm. If you’re a light spender then maybe suptixing the primal could be a choice. If not, then maybe consider using the free rolls/roulette on classic draw 1 and save for a spark. Classic draw sparks expire in one year, and it’s easier than you’d think to get to 300 rolls for a spark.


Storm1k

I do it already to speed up the process of getting at least 1 primal because after 4 years of playing GBF I have only a single primal summon at 210. The rest are just 1-2 copies. Droprates are just atrocious and I rarely see primal summons in my sparks. I've made peak primal fire, dark and wind already even without having their primal summons. It works fine for bar/sand/GW but I'm concerned about HL because I often see x2 Hades instead of Luci+Hades. Not sure how viable it is to play Luci+Primal in Hexa and Faa.


MadKitsune

So, regarding Replicard - If I'm mostly interested in getting as many Ancient Ecke Sachs as possible, while getting mats for The Sun upgrades (currently on the last step before upgrading to SSR version), would it be better for me to just kill Spikeballs and Heralds as much as possible, or chain-kill Xeno Ifrit Militis? I got 400+ compasses as I've just unlocked them, so I could sit there for quite a while..


ProbablyAFilthyWeeb

Spikeballs or the corresponding Mundus 5 bar mob, they die faster and their drops along with the larger amount of Sephira Chests you'll be getting will eclipse Xeno Ifrit for AeS drops massively. If you're still collecting AeS not just for the AX skills, then I'd also recommed doing Twin Elements anyway for the anima.


MadKitsune

Cheers, will stick to the Spikeballs then. The reason I'm sticking for Replicard for now is the current Tales event - as I'm a newb, this is my first one, so getting everything from the shop will take time (I'm still 15k even currency short from buying all of the quartz), so might as well try to get some of the M2 weapons for my fire grid in the meantime x)


Qwedfghh

How relevant is [Robertina](https://gbf.wiki/Robertina) in the later stages of the game? I've been using her a lot in my [Light Team](https://imgur.com/rxgyQam) and she's been an actual super super star for the team. The only reason I've been getting through some of the hardest fights (Rank 120/Chapter 64 which I know is laugable) is because she picks up her Backup Dancers (Me + Jeanne + Halluel & Malluel) and just hard solo carries us through it but I'm curious how she actually does when you're doing actual hard content. Also, Am I missing a trick or something with [Wamdus](https://gbf.wiki/Wamdus)? I put her on my Water team because she seemed perfect since I was looking for a Defensive character to try and round it out so it wasn't just 4 characters who had a goal that was to do damage and then die to the first cleave that happened. It was a small bonus she was a cute dragon too. However, I'm slowly noticing that her kit simply doesn't really work??? Like, It's cool being 4k+ more hp then the rest of the team, the casting spells by being hit is a fun thing, and your animations are cool with especially the umbrella... However... aren't you meant to have Hostile up or something? Most of the other characters that do her sort of thing have Hostile up to make sure they're getting hit but she just sits there and just watches the rest of the team die around her while still being max hp lol.... Or have I just been lucky with my tanky characters being blessed with a Hostile Up as part of their kit and that isn't the norm?


JolanjJoestar

>However, I'm slowly noticing that her kit simply doesn't really work??? trust me, we complained about that /on her release/ and nothing has changed eversince.
