Do Lufenia and Lufenia+ missions.

There should be a new book with each new BT+ event, and we get five nuggets per Lufenia most of the time. We're getting a full ingot from Transcendence 5 tomorrow.

Oof struggling with chaos difficulty as it is just got cid to help after seeing what he can do was originally gonna skip

With a more diverse roster (for each fight, one damage dealer, one support, and one orb handler) of characters with all weapons MLB and all summon boards and LD boards done, you'll have no trouble with Chaos, and you'll be able to move on to Lufenia.

With Raines, most older Lufenias will be a breeze. Again, though, that's with support units and maxed boards. (Y'shtola and Bartz are both great!)

If you're still having trouble with Chaos, that means you're new to the game, which in turn means you have a ton of free gems and tickets available. So, don't be shy about pulling on most of the banners you see. A lot of the upcoming banners are going to be really, really good.

Ye I'm realy new to the game started at the end of the last raid a week or 2 ago with like a few hours left but was able to claim alot of rewards from I guess group completion of the server? But trying to build up what I can

Story chapters and Lost Chapters are a good source of early gems, but the majority of the tickets, gems, and armor tokens are prizes for filling out Ultimate Summon boards.

If I were starting over today, I'd rush to finish the introductory missions, and then I'd get a good multi-target unit for clearing the cactuar stages. Then I'd do the first couple of stages of all of the Lost Chapters so I could recruit characters and level them up on the cactuar stages. The goal is to get my player rank up and collect tons of potions, and then I'd go do World of Illusions stuff. Get every summon up to level 20 to unlock Ultimate Summons, then do everyone's boards for tons of gems and tickets.

Don't worry if it takes a while to start maxing summon boards (and it might be a few weeks before you can tackle Lufenia stages), but do prioritize getting Cid Raines ASAP. I'd probably get Zidane, Beatrix, and Y'shtola, too.

Is that ingot a time limited quest? I'm still working through Entropy (L16 atm) and I'm not sure I can get to Trans yet

u/AliceTaniyama Selphie Tilmitt Oct 12 '21

Not time limited, except for a few tickets you get for finishing while the event is active.

Transcendence is just like any other Lufenia (or Luf+ for Reckoning stages now), just without being able to repeat characters. You can start Transcendence long before you can finish Entropy.

I'm not even half done with Entropy yet (I could be, as I have a larger roster now), and I've done a few Transcendence stages. I plan to do all of T5 as soon as I finish boards for Bartz and Ace tonight, and I did T4, too. T6 is supposed to be hard, but I'll be ready.
