Yeah I got more than 100k from the whole experience. I bought up a ton of healing and stat cure items and still have enough left over for a couple of rings.

EDIT: Having a red mage gives me access to a couple dirty tricks, including the means with which to hit Shinryu with berserk. Do any of you local experts know if there's a way I can get him with blind too? Wonder rod maybe?

DOUBLE EDIT: WHOOPS I can read nevermind. I think I need to luck out with a small list of classes for blind. Might have to pursue other options or pray to RNGsus that a berserked Shinryu can't get past my damage dealers' shields and elven mantles. Maybe some mirage vest magic, too.

Hmm. I also wonder how viable a redmagezerker and a critical hitting samurai will be against Omega.

I have been adding to my tally of completely unnecessary status humiliations on bosses.

Byblos - Thrown into the Void!
Ramuh - Paralyzed
Crayclaw - Blinded
Adamantoise - Gravitied

But now, my last job has arrived, and it's a Knight. Which is not a Berserker...*sigh*

> shields

Thief knife a Genji Shield off Voidamesh. Mini someone and then throw the shield on them. (Genji Shield prevents mini so it has to be that order.) 100% dodge.

You'll be doing anemic damage because of the mini unless you roll something like mystic knight or a real mage on the final crystal but you can't die. For extra fun give your Red Mage Equip Katanas so they get initiative and use your first turn to swap to that Power Staff to boop the snoot, it's what I did last year. :V

You can die doing that. Evasion is capped at 99%. You'd have to get pretty unlucky, but I have been hit through 99% evade and killed during solo runs.

Reddyne · « **Reply #125 on:** June 13, 2016, 07:46:11 PM »

Thanks for the info. It may come down to a lot of patience and a little luck, but it's a feasible strategy. There's still a chance that my final class could assist in some form, but I think dodge-tanking will be a legit strategy.

Final levels were 36-37. My Exdeath strategy can be summarised as 'grind money until I have 25 Fuma Shurikens then let physics/Sword Dance do the rest'. :V

Oh bah why is this literally the first time I heard this but yeah I dug through the algorithms guide.

Make Mirage Vest your shied guy's body armor so if you do get hit you can refresh glitch. NOW you can't die. :V

Started with Ninja so it can't get too bad.

Welp. Least I defeated Omega and Shinryu before I had to deal with Neo...but now I gotta grind for Neo and do yet another Quadzerker victory against him.

At least you can use double the axes? :V

Axel Ryman · « **Reply #130 on:** June 13, 2016, 10:57:21 PM »

That's actually going to be helpful for Neo for my Zombiezerkers to heal me. I knew I was guaranteed Zerkers so I prepared Death Sickles just in case.

WHMZakeri · « **Reply #131 on:** June 13, 2016, 11:46:32 PM »

Okay Bit the bullet and switched to Earth Job at the beginning of World 3, and I got Samurai again.
might do a 750 Run after this one.

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #132 on:** June 14, 2016, 07:02:18 AM »

Wheeeeeee

My first ever triple crown too, though I only got the drop screens capped because my emu was being a fuckup at Omega and Shinryu does the dumb random encounter dissolve. Shinryu I've swung before but Omega I never had both "good damage" and "can neuter him" at the same time.

I'll probably reg for another run once this is processed, not sure what sort; I doubt I'll plow through it nearly as quickly though, Axel I ain't.

Though if you're on GBA/SNES, by the time you beat Sandworm, the only thing you'll be needing to grind is equipment drops or steals.

I finished maingame on my Dragoon + Trizerk and defeated Shinryu both at level 44(forgot about level 2 Old and happened to get there at 44 but was too lazy to go back and grind to 47 at that point). Hermes Sandals Dragoon jumping with Dragon Lance and Berserkers(Coral Ring + either Ice or Aegis Shield) with Equip Lance for more Dragon Lances.

I only had 3 Dragon Lances though, not the full 4 like I wanted. Only had 1 Bone Mail too because I couldn't get the rare steal on Thief Knife for it. And 3 Ice Shields at the time of Shinryu, but that one was thankfully just a rare drop. Took me some time to rare steal 2 Aegis Shields to bring me to 4 after counting the ones you pick up in chests.

Equip Lances and Equip Axes are the only useful skills to transfer between those 2 classes.

With those Dragon Lances, I was able to prevent Grand Cross from even happening. And the berserkers were nice about spreading the damage, so I didn't have to deal with an enraged final part.

I was considering saying screw Omega, but I'm going for it. I now have Bartz, Lenna, and Krile KO'd and am solo grinding Faris(her balanced agility/strength stat made me choose her, but maybe not the best choice, but too late now). Faris is currently level 76, which is still not enough. I need to check what the final multiplier before level 99 is because I don't want to get to 99 unless it gets me a multiplier.

Had a slow start due to time constraints but im finally making progress after spending all morning playing. I like my job setup so far. My last one will probably be something I won't want i can feel it. I have Blue, Mystic, and Beast so far.

>Finally gets back to FFV (trust me the NoR LP has been taking up more of my gaming time than I thought)
>Cheeses Living Flame with Frost Rod, goes back to town and gets another Mythril Hammer quickly expecting to get another Berserker
>Fire Job: Bard
...I'll take it? But man, for a BERSERKER RISK, having a Blue Mage and a Bard is going to make this uh... not challenging.

As it turns out this is all a moot point because I got chemist for my last job, giving me a way to blind Shinryu. An Omega win is in there somewhere too I think. Downside: Last year turtle shells and dragon fangs proved to be indispensable and those are best gotten from drops. AND with a red mage on top of that, grinding, ho!

3rd job is ~~crayola~~ Time Mage awww yeah suck it walking out of dungeons like a chump. OH and that works with Thief in that I can just reset if I'm trying for a rare steal ohoho~

jester147 · « **Reply #143 on:** June 16, 2016, 08:43:50 AM »

Aaaand as I grind for the upcoming Sandworm, some things I did:

Mini Dragons, while they're the best source of EXP, they have the tendency to cast Frostbite that deals around ~150 damage. They're a bit dangerous and can only be safely grinded with Flame Rings on.

Death Sickle sells for 2950 gil! This really helps for getting all the rings, just grind Harvesters continuously, even though it's rather shaky, at least we get the money to buy the rings.

Grinding continues...

EDIT: Now Level 32 and with 4 Flame Rings now mwahahahaha! Mini Dragons are not a problem anymore! But still can't beat Sandworm, I did 400-500 damage per hit with Ogre Killer, and I checked ~300 damage with Mage Masher and possibly ~400 with Main Gauche (can't confirm). A total of around 7 hits needed...

EDIT2: I'm level 33 and it doesn't go much better. Damage isn't much of an issue, as the luck factor really matters in this fight. I've gotten several lucky streaks and yet still can't land the final blow to this annoying Sandworm. Should I grind again or press on, praying to luck?

"Y'know since my first run went so well I think I might sneak in a second one. Another Chaos run, probably. I'm really sick of playing dancer but the odds of it showing up for the fifth time in a row are-"

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO ME

EDIT: Second job is Geomancer. Honestly thinking I might just not bother with a second run after all. :|
