Are you using that weird annonotation where you are calling a 6++ a 4*++?4*++ is just below 5* in stats and is vastly above with Realm Synergy. I have a 5*+ sword and I'll bench that sometimes for a basic 4* with Synergy. I'm even using two of the 4* armours they give you from dungeons in the current event over my 5* armour.
You were playing it wrong if you were grinding for anything.
225 is crazy unless you bought 100 extra pulls. I have 150 inventory slots, I only upgrade when I hit the inventory cap with gear. I don't stockpile upgrade mats, they are too easy to get twice a week. You need to sell all of that combined 2* gear, are you actually using those Protect Vests as even with synergy I'm going to guess that your 5*s are only a couple of stat points off at best? Only thing you should have is the combined 2* gun.I have no idea how you don't use it on inventory space. I haven't bought any mythril or gems, and I have 225 space. I chopped up some screenshots of all my 5 and 4 star items.

That's 89 items alone (not including the upgrade mats). Is some of that overkill? Probably. I'd say a lot of the daggers and shit aren't necessary. I've probably got way too many swords, too. But really, I find that I end up using a lot of that shit for synergy.
Just go by what the game uses. I don't understand this movement to do it incorrectly. a 2* upgraded twice is a 4++.Yeah. Is a 4*++ a 4* item upgraded twice or a 2* item upgraded twice? It's ambiguous. Not sure which way to go.
Used two mithril for inventory, rest has been pulls. I would guess between 6 and 8 11 pulls. 2 5* armors, no weapons.I'm convinced that this is why people have shit gear, they grinded for 2*++ and used the Mithril on inventory slots to hold it all instead of on gear rolls.
Clearly playing a bit more than I have - only have 75 stam. Then again, I've been farming the events and dailies instead of doing the dungeons. I'm only up to level 41's. Though it seems I'm farming on the wrong days, because I have like 100 orbs of each kind, but no Black Orbs, which I think is a Tuesday or Wednesday thing.I've got 60 Mythril saved and probably 15 to 20 in unfinished Elites. I've been prioritizing Elites with Stamina shards. I'm up to 113 stamina right now so it's a grind to get the last couple.
My plan is a 50 Mythril pull on the Selphie / Quistis event which should be next and then dump all of my remaining Mythril on the Lightning banner in a couple of weeks. My biggest hole is Black Mage gear and I need to fix that if possible. It sounds like we're getting close to the "Black Mage Meta" where it's one melee, one healer and three mages (or a similar composition).
