The answer: a lot of it, but mostly inconsequential (I think). Defense Bracer(x2), Tynar Rouge, and Miracle Shoes jump out as annoying. Big Boss Shield and Shield of Grandshelt also, but I doubt they'd get used anyway, esp. given the other shield buffs. Same with the other various gear that I grudgingly sold over the years before the inventory bump(s).

Even with the update most older gear are obsolete for me.

Was Fina the red pearl? I wouldn't know. :(

I've seen posts w/ results from 9(!!) to 0 t pearls, and 7(!) to 0 of the 1/10 tix. One w/ 5 of each(!), some others ~4 of each, and many 0 or 1 of each. That range is ridiculous for the value of those prizes.
Yeah, "losing" being better than many of the rewards is lol.

...which were also missing from my rewards, back then, too!! Ugh, it's the worst.
PS - was glad to see your friend request this morning! Huzzah!

NVA her, you won't regret it.

I NVA'd her w/ 100 VIP coins, and have been holding off on EX+1 hoping for a second STMR. Haven't used her though (also never used her at 7*, iirc). Happy I waited on getting #8, esp. w/ the update to the abilities on her TMR, since I fused #3+#4 without getting the then unimpressive TMR.

Just use 2 Terra to cheese it. 9 turns ;)

With what godly level of builds for self and friend unit, and what irreplaceable OP/niche support units/gear, lol?

Just some counter materia and poison/disease weapons. I think Sinzar did a clear in 9 turns too, check it out. Of course you need BIS terra +2

Note that it was the same *6* unit team as most recently used, so there's still that. Apparently, it's my newly minted and IW'd Astraea Aurora FTW(?), even with a less than optimal random friend unit.

Nonetheless, 3 cheers for Charsalis EX3, even though they couldn't get the job done w/o the significant bump to SElena. Neither could Terra, so... </shrugs>.

Faisy and Yura Makes it manageable first turn charm resist faisy and stop protect from Yura plus 250 buffs will do the trick.

Have full ailment/status resist handled so that isn't what's getting me. I guess my Faisy's not tricked out enough and/or "only" 180% buffs aren't good enough. Crazy that could be the case for a trial from 9? months ago. :-/

I suggest use faisy provoke skill and magic mit should be enough. I just use all resist gear.

Well, damn Malboro Queen and her Minis and each run worse than the one before (*and* Antenolla, with subsequent battle clears taking up to 9 turns). Getting close to just doing a 6 unit clear of ADV3 and saying f*** all of the non-box summons.

Ha ha, nope, not that either, though Antenolla is quicker and I could still clear when the flower got ko'd "early." MQ and the kids still s***ing on me, w/the first *5* unit attempt still the "closest." Reminds me of my struggle to *re*clear the Chocobo Battalion that I had initially 0-dayed.... :-/

Reviewed the wiki pages, re-geared the tank for the relevant element immunities, and... *somehow* the tank got KO'd, faster than previously to boot. :-( Looking back, I (like many others) apparently evade cheesed this POS fight, so....
Just gimme the 3 f'n tix and that's it. :-/

You know this enhancement castle is up for 3 weeks? You still have a week left ;)

No, I didn't. Finally a schedule inconsistency to my benefit! Though I wish I'd have realized it in time to not lose my 40 lapis from the Arena due to leaving it until afterward (and more crashes). :-(

Doubly sweet, on my unexpected second run, I got the rare (only my second of the event) and decent others, so now MAG+37%. :-)

Each year, I had little to no luck on the LNY. So even though now their worth is diminished, I've thrown enough tickets to collect a 7* of each. "WXYZ" with his outdated SPR-scaled chaining is finally mine! Worth it to me :).

I went hard last year on the old units, and wound up w/ 7*s of all and STMRs of two (w/ tc prisms). Didn't even try for the new units last year (no safety net, omniprisms not yet announced).
My 13.5K this year was not very well-spent, but I can wind up with the minimum I wanted, using the summon coins. Plus apparently a s***ton of TMRs (though of questionable value) for which I was still holding moogles.

Didn't have 40K because I stopped buying Fountains (so no pity possible), and no real reason to chase that hard for it anyway, as I'll not be surprised if the game shuts down before I get around to mounting a legitimate attempt at Bahamut, Asura, etc.

No Gabranth (which I'd hope isn't an issue for non-ADV), and (I'd imagine) I'm unlikely to be able to implement a full-on nuke-her-from-orbit strategy.

RIP everything for today - dailies, rewards wheel, arena, NRG bar, etc., etc.
Note: I don't give any f***s at all whether notice was tucked into one of the individual garbage news items that crash my phone more often then not. Changing the established maintenance day calls for a homepage/ login special announcement, as is done for stupid-a** DV and events.

Everything will end tonight. They did in advance to let them celebrate the cny

Yeah, my issue isn't the weekly events, it's losing all of the dailies dt early "day end" (combined w/ a s*** trial, and the fact that one can't temporarily exit the content in the game that, for some players, can take quite a long time.) :-/
There was no need to change the maintenance day, they should have just prepped and skipped maintenance like they did a few weeks ago.

...further annoyance, even if I do - eventually, painfully, finally, less-unluckily - get the damn clear credit to stick, it'll be without the esper summon, so still not actually completed. right in line with the story of my game... even (especially?) 180 days later. :-(

Also right in line with the story of my game... stuck f'ing around with a trial (often due to bulls**t such as this time) and miss out on the rest of the day's stuff. This occurrence even more ridiculous than usual; 7:59 and counting trying to recover from my crash-during-clear, we get maintenance 24 hours early because holiday?!?
RIP *everything* for today. :-( :-( :-(

Chapter End- The clean 2TKO w/o esper summon clear-that-crashed turned, by virtue of piss-poor chaining reliability (and possibly also damage variance) into a messy, much belated (and costly dt maintenance) 4TKO OBAMA. At least that leaves no reason to revisit the damn thing, hopefully for good.

I will most likely do the same.
