So as a lvl 99 clearer, what accessories would benefit me best for the upcoming weeks?

I really hate these gyshal system. You have to grind hard to get everything before it changes I feel like. Now by next week I need 40k to get the orbs and memory II crystal.

you can skip the mc2 unless youre in a rush to uncap someone. events start shitting them out with great frequency very soon
By Draylo 2016-06-03 21:03:15
Nah I have everyone uncapped but I wasn't sure if I needed it later for someone they add to there like they did for a few characters when it first came out.

Its problem is that the incoming gysahl drop rate is crap.
My current goal in game is to grab the 10 staminas shards from Fat Choco, and skipping everything else but 2 MC2 and all mythril so far. The result is my current number is ~200.000 (dropped since I bought a couple of accessories), so it will take several days till I can get the 550.000 necessaries to buy all staminas shards. Its like around 5.000 per day the drop rate, and double gysahl drop rate weekend isnt more then 2 free days toward my goal.
Anyway, eventually I will get there.

If still dont have the +30 accessories, they are good options, as it beats every +20 and bellow accessories with RS so you can save a couple of inv space (if you can get 4 or 5 +30 att accessory you dont need any other accessory). Aside that, probably the elemental/KO resist accessories in case you face a boss elemental based or with gravija spells.
At least one MND+30 is good if you use a healer. The def/res/hp accessories, I never used them but I guess you can consider it if you lack RS armor.

Elemental resistance accessories (Fire in particular will be very important soon) > KO resistance accessories (they also work on Gravity, Major ones are especially valuable as they are very rare and extremely powerful) > other resistance accessories > atk/mag+30
the atk and mag accessories aren't as valuable unless you only have 1 or 2 already since within the next 4 events we'll have received at least 5 of each ATK and MAG +30 acc. If you don't get a lot of time to farm greens then skipping over as many of those as possible is worthwhile.
But weh, you scream at me in the street, muh +15atk synergy. Not very strong, don't worry about it, especially when you consider inventory spaces.

It could be argued the extremely situational elemental resistance accessories are a bigger waste of inventory space.
I still have them, but I haven't actually used them for anything.

Except a 20-50% resistance to damage is far more valuable than a 3% or less boost to attack ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You'll regret not having them once things like fragment ifrit show up

My lack of VIII synergy is a far bigger issue in regards to my ability to do Ifrit Fragment.
Not to mention, that damage reduction is reliant on the character wearing it being hit.

...all the more reason to have one for every character? Benefits you get from armor synergy pale in comparison to a straight large % decrease in more than 70% of the boss's damage output, and 15 extra attack from squall's necklace is a laughable benefit if your offensive RS is what's preventing the kill.

45 slots for extremely situational items. Mmmkay.
I'm not suggesting four each of +30 ATT/MAG and one +30 MND for each realm. That's too excessive.
But four +30 each of ATT/MAG and a single +30 MND is perfectly reasonable and not a waste of inventory by any means.

not sure how you get 45, that's some interesting arithmetic. not to mention theres an accessory that covers 3 elements by itself that you can now get a duplicate of. Earth, Water, and Ice resistances are less valuable; Holy, Fire, and Lightning are the important ones. KO resistance, Major ones in particular, are also remarkable for bosses that use Gravija for people who have a hard time with keeping enough medals to maintain mastery.
More than worth those slots compared to what is an even more situational 15 attack boost which, even when the situation allows the 15 attack to even be active, is a miniscule increase in performance compared to the enormous benefits of reducing damage taken by such a significant degree.
There is 0 practical benefit to spending gysahl greens on atk or mag accessories unless, as i previously stated, you only have 1 or 2 of them currently. Within the next 4 weeks we will have been given a minimum of 5 atk accessories and 5 mag accessories for free since the inception of Ultimate fights. 8,000 gysahl greens for what is saving you a few weeks of patience? Hard to recommend.

The dude literally said he's clearing 99's. Let me know when 5* accessories drop from those.

Also for a better list of ones to look for for those who care:
Fire res: Blaze armlet, Flame cloak x1, Necrophobe ward, Gigas armlet x2 = 5
Lightning res: Bolt armlet, Necrophobe ward, Gigas armlet x2, Coral ring = +2 = 7
Holy Res: Aurora armlet, Yuna's obi, Glow curtain x2 = +4 = 11
KO Res: Mythril armlet, Memento ring x2, Protect ring = +4 = 15
Other status and elemental resist accessories don't see as much use or are useful for fights that don't see much benefit from their use and thus aren't as valuable. Biggest one that comes to mind is Blind resist for Diamond Weapon U++ in 4-5 months, but plenty of time to stock up on those.
As for "the dude who said he's clearing 99s", let me know when he's the only one using this thread. I already covered twice what to do if you don't have a good stock of atk/mag acc already. Gysahl economics and the most valuable use of them affects everyone.

Not 11/11, not impressed, my 0/11 had a better lasting impression than this pull did, trust me.
ps: thats some nice XII synergy though, 3 swords, 2 armor pieces, the other 3 are up in the air for use or not due to comps and being weapons that arent always in demand.

The Flamberge is a pretty cool weapon. 3-hit ST with Chainstarter x2.
So, something like Life Siphon + Full Charge with Flamberge's SB could be a really good combo for Lightning if you don't have her BSB. Or SSB with Lightning weak enemy/AoE situation.

It's the only thing good on that banner. I'll wait for BSB Banners but I'm still stuck between BSB Banners 4 and 5 :/
I only have one Shadows SSB. I have Leon's SSB too but it kinda sucks. Plus I feel I need magic blink now for the ultimates now. Which banner should I go for you think?
Edit: arena ultimate ++ wasn't as bad as I thought. I ran out of abilities and had to finish the last 10% using attack lol. SG and Shellga MBD mitigated most of the last guys dmg.

He's been dating new people now, he had some fling with Agrias, but I think he has settled down a bit with Celes for now. Mind you, he wont tell you any of this, with you being a serf, but I have the full scoop. With her BSSB banner, seems she has come back in to town, wonder if Proth's heart will remain strong or crumble...

Started playing a few days ago under the suggestion from a linkshell mate. The game is definitely nostalgic, & I am having a blast. It's for iOS, and Android smartphones and tablets. Currently trying to complete these timed events.
Any one else loving the global release of this game? It's been out in Japan for some time. We finally get in on the goodies
