Man, Siren's sure a pain when you ain't got no white magic and forget to backrow your black mage.

on another note, I completely forgot about Chaos runs since they changed the rules to just be "You get jobs." Seriously that's all it says for the rule. I find it pretty hilarious.

To be fair that was all it said last year too. :V

Dancer/Dragoon/Beastmaster/... Beastmaster. I job faired that second one to Chemist so I can play with the shiny busted toys for once.

Still gonna keep "not taking your shit" Blue Mage Faris for avatar though.

Aaaand I got the Water Crystal, and it's BERSERKER PARTY!!!!

Along the way Siren sure is tough, with protect and Undead form, and her Undead form hurts a lot. And I'm stuck with very little potion and some phoenix down. Garula was very easy thanks to whip given by Magissa, it ain't moving the whole fight!

NOW LET'S PARTY!

Monk/Berserker/Bard/Dragoon. May having Bard save me from too much of a Bad Time.

Sophilia · « **Reply #94 on:** June 12, 2016, 09:21:27 AM »

And my third job is Beastmaster. Death to all ancient robots!

Karnak escape trolled me hard though, and I had to break rods on sergeants that wouldn't let me run away.

Reddyne · « **Reply #95 on:** June 12, 2016, 10:22:13 AM »

I got berserker for the wind crystal and samurai for the water crystal. Considering that this means that I'll have to plow through AT LEAST Liquid Flame with 4 zerkers, I'm seriously considering just rolling the rest of my jobs, but I dunno exactly how much I want to go through with bending the rules like this. At least I mapped out a fast forward button.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #96 on:** June 12, 2016, 11:16:48 AM »

Garula report: Good thing I could steal some mythril swords in the tower. Made him less bad by a bit.

ALSO: I have a thief. Where's the best place to get money in World 1? I am eyeing those rings.

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #97 on:** June 12, 2016, 11:40:45 AM »

That would be the forest of Wild Nakks right outside Karnak, for most people at least.

jester147 · « **Reply #99 on:** June 12, 2016, 01:25:44 PM »

Wild Nakk encounters give 625 gil.

That would be enough for Karnak but it won't be enough for Ronkan Ruins. Would try some other source... A !Steal list would help a lot to pinpoint valuable items to sell or collect.

EDIT: Changed gold to gil because ff lol.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #100 on:** June 12, 2016, 01:34:13 PM »

Yeah, I'd like to avoid 320 Wild Nak encounters if possible. But I suppose emulator speedup exists for a reason.

In other news:

Queen Karnak: You must get to the Fire Crystal, it is just behind this room! Hurry!
LIGHT WARRIORS: Oh man, we have like 5 potions left.
*LIGHT WARRIORS go back to town buy 94 more.

Garlyle's handbook in the OP had a steal list, that's what I'm going to be utilizing.

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #102 on:** June 12, 2016, 02:31:02 PM »

Speaking of, I managed to steal a Gaia Gear from a Sorcerer in Karnak Castle. Unusual!

Garlyle · « **Reply #103 on:** June 12, 2016, 07:34:23 PM »

Chaos Upgrade

And what's my first job?

Bard.

Again.

Literally every year

Enjoy probably grinding out the entirety of Bard in the span between Crescent and Sandworm so you can move on to not Bard? :V

triangles · « **Reply #105 on:** June 12, 2016, 08:57:57 PM »

Or if you REALLY are sick of Bard #upgrade after Garula and skip it altogether :V

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #106 on:** June 12, 2016, 09:09:48 PM »

... also an option yeah I didn't even think about it! But !Sing is pretty fantastic and Bard's one of the cheaper jobs to master (and sadly !Sing is last so we are talking mastery).

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #107 on:** June 12, 2016, 09:57:22 PM »

World 2 complete!

Exdeath was not fun. Everyone got one-shot by Vacuum Wave, and Zombie Breath was basically a guaranteed run ender ;w; My endgame plan consisted of getting throw on multiple characters and just chucking everything.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #108 on:** June 13, 2016, 12:30:03 AM »

Finished World 1, and

Dragoon/Berserker/Berserker/Berserker

I had so much luck on every BS boss fight in the first world. Liquid Flame first try, Byblos first try. Asked one of the people who did quadzerk last year their level for Sandworm(42 but said it could have been around 5 levels lower considering the RNG), so I went in at 38 for a somewhat serious attempt and first try(I did try some at level 34 since someone was wondering how much damage I would do, but that wasn't a serious attempt). Soul Cannon first try because both launchers hit Galuf and I got decent damage rolls.

Not sure if I can beat Omega. Jump with Trident can do damage, but that's a low power weapon, so I'm not sure how much damage you can get at high level.

WHMZakeri · « **Reply #109 on:** June 13, 2016, 04:08:43 AM »

Doing a normal upgrade run, so I took the Knights past Byblos so I can grind them
Got Berserker, obviously, so I decided I would grind them up too (thank you emulator speedup)

Then I got Ninjas.

8xDoomsickles :toot:

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #110 on:** June 13, 2016, 05:32:16 AM »

It took me three episodes of Welcome to Nightvale and weighing down the fast forward button, but it is done. Four Flame Rings get.

WHMZakeri · « **Reply #111 on:** June 13, 2016, 06:27:02 AM »

so uhh is it against the rules to refuse your Earth job during upgrade runs?
I'm not sure I want to transition to a phase where I have to choose between Dual Wield and Knight Swords.

Axel Ryman · « **Reply #112 on:** June 13, 2016, 07:02:29 AM »

Nope, you can refuse getting the job.

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #113 on:** June 13, 2016, 07:06:51 AM »

Yeah the official word basically worked out to "C'mon, you're no fun. But yeah it's legit."

Reddyne · « **Reply #114 on:** June 13, 2016, 10:06:31 AM »

WOAH everyone's so far along!

930 wild nakks gave their lives to fuel my berserkers' conquest of the fire-powered ship. I have enough money to buy a small country, but I survived! Fire crystal job is red mage. After berserker and samurai, it's nice to see some utility. Maybe there's a bit of synergy for a rune axe user? Still dunno how potent their magic can get in the late game, but I still have a rod user and someone with white magic.

jester147 · « **Reply #115 on:** June 13, 2016, 10:21:23 AM »

Help me guys I'm protected by a firewall codenamed Liquid Flame and I don't want to be protected! The threat is named Berserker and I want them to bypass the firewall! Please help!

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #116 on:** June 13, 2016, 10:39:07 AM »

Are you doing all berserkers? Then you might just have to slaughter a lot of wild nakks.

If you have something that isn't berserkers among them, maybe blind them until the tornado form is out of mp?

jester147 · « **Reply #117 on:** June 13, 2016, 10:48:13 AM »

I'm stuck with berserkers until I can get the Fire Crystal, so yeah...

I just had to do the same. Once all 4 of my berserkers had their optimal equipment from Karnak, I started grinding until I hit level 21. Grinding is easy, especially on the wild nakks in the woods outside Karnak, because the nakks do peanuts for damage on a fully equipped party of berserkers. Mind you, you may need to grind to level 22 or 23. I barely squeaked by Liquid Flame, as Galuf was the only survivor of the fight and had a scant 2 hp left. It's still possible though, and I wager you'll have a similar experience. Godspeed, mooncat!

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #119 on:** June 13, 2016, 12:04:42 PM »

Just think of it as investing in future absorption rings!
