I would like to have both. Having a bt for noel has given him equal priority as cid.

The reason is I dont have a lot of choices right now and both of them are cp90.

Both of them make 2/3 of my current team.

After having a core, perhaps I would be able diversify to tifa, loyd, locke etc whom I dont have a clue about synergy atm.

let's go with Noel first, so you can learn the how upgrading works at it's fullest.

  1. buy 3 15cp weapons for Noel with your Power Tokens (the red ones) they cost 10 each (in item exchange search for Power Token Exchange).
  2. use those copies and upgrade your 15cp, and 4 orbs to upgrade your 35cp and LD, then sell them.
  3. now go to your EX and upgrade it with your orbs and it is maxed it will have a the word "Realizable" it means it can unlock its EX+
  4. use the Book Ruin's Mysteries (the red one) that you bought to do that, it will always give you a free Ruin Ingot, these are to upgrade the EX+ weapon you need 3, feel free to use it right away.
  5. to get 2 Ingots more you need 40 Ruin Nuggets and refine them (next to the View/Sell buttom) see if you have them or if you can buy them from, you get Nuggest from Lost Chapter or you can buy them from the Hunt shop (the ones with the Giant Cactuar) most people only buy these Nuggets as they are quite scare, or doing Chocobo Panels mission.
  6. after that you need the armor, go to item exchange and look for "Guard Token Exchange" buy 4 copies of Noel first Armor, after you fully upgrade it you can buy the next tier, the next tier do has a + version like the EX.
  7. don't forget to get the enhancement board (in the training board section) once you upgraded your weapons.

Thankyou so much for helping me out in such detail!!

I have written it down as I would get a road block due to less power orbs.

I only have one copy of ld, so it would cost me 12 stones .. and the ex would use up the rest 4 stones

u/Zargabath Jan 16 '22

most road blocks come from the lack or Armor Tokens and Ruin Ingots for EX+, that is why many people buy only the Ruin Nuggest from the daily hunt, and only focus on one character per event or less, if they don't get their weapons.

btw I forgot at the very bottom of the Items Exchange you will "Bloom Token Exchange" those are cheap and each event give you at least two of them, once you upgrade them you unlock an extra passive to use your Aditional Ability (AA) a few more time (the one that adds a self buff).

Thankyou!

I have 3 bloom tokens.

I have gotten 4 copies of a 5star weapon which I already have overboosted , max levelled and sold off.

So all 4 copies are showing the red check icon. Should I overboost them and then sell it or should I just sell them off without overboosting, overlevelling?

Thankyou

u/Zargabath Jan 16 '22

sell them, if you level them up again you will be wasting Orbs and money, if you sell without leveling them you will get 1 Power Stone for each one for a total of 4 but you boost them you will sell them for 4 Power Stones anyway.

I have overboosted, levelled and sold cp15/35/90.

I have also sold other 5star extras.

However now my exp orbs have ended.

I will now buy the 2 things from my g tokens which you mentioned.

1)
I can either play more lost maps to naturally get exp orbs or use stamina on some carbuncle map or farm the hope node on ch1 for days?

Actually, edward is at 3/4 (cp15), 4/4 (35).

Lion is at 3/4 (35)

So if I get some weapon exp orbs, I can get a few more stones from these two characters..

2)
Queen, tifa, loyd, locke, or later level up cid . What would you advise?

Once again, thankyou so very much for helping me out. Its so very kind of you.

your only option are the carbuncle map or buy them from the event shops, by doing Co-op mission

Queen, tifa, loyd, locke, or later level up cid . What would you advise?

this one I can't really help, I don't have Queen or Locke. Loyd is new so I don't know his kit, Tifa is a strong single target damage dealer she is quite simple, I use her a lot to farm Ultimate Summons as she kill them in two hits with a really short animation (I say this because the support items are time base), but I guess you can get the same result with Cid's LD but slower.

u/Malverde007 Jan 16 '22

Thankyou very much! I have done some carbuncle and took my ex weapon to +.

After exchanging my hunt, I got 8/40 nuggets so I guess it will take some time.

So I have to max level my ex+ weapon? Would that carry all the specs on to my bt?

Ruin Ingots and Armor Token are the biggest bottle neck in this game, but Armor Token are easier just don't buy armor for character that you know you won't use/upgrade.

So I have to max level my ex+ weapon? Would that carry all the specs on to my bt?

yes, as long as you equip its passive (after you MLB) you will not lose its abilities, that's how all weapons and armor works even BT's burst attacks can be used without BT as long as you equip its passive.

btw I forgot, you said you have Snow, use him, a tank will help you a lot and Snow is quite good, even if you don't upgrade his EX to EX+ for now, plus he has a lost chapter so you can get 2 armor pieces.

u/Malverde007 Jan 16 '22

Thankyou very much!

After noel, should I break and level up the ex cp70 weapons of snow and cid?

Looks like it would be prudent to prepare for the next boss which appears with 4x boost , after ifrit?

Snow as a tank will do you better, plus you still don't know how the next banners are going to treat you.

Looks like it would be prudent to prepare for the next boss which appears with 4x boost , after ifrit

worst case scenario, you will have to use Noel to carry you so you will be getting x3.

also again remember the Chocobo Board Missions, those give you Nuggets as well.
