Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

It's Cecils sentinel shield. It's not good for much besides RW now that draw fire is out. I'm much more excited about Mogs scarf. Couple it with a SG RW and nothing can hurt you.

I got Grand Glove too... And a Cyan sword and Dark Cecil armor.

i have 100 mithril saved up still too... Not sure if I want to use it on any of the relic pulls that are out now or keep saving it for something else.

I got Paladin Cecil's sword (Mythgraven Blade) and Leon's Golden Armor. I'm pretty happy. I've been complaining for awhile that I haven't gotten a lot of physical damage relics so this was a good pull. The Blade is actually my highest attack weapon (113 attack versus 112 on my Zantetsuken). I've also read that Hand of the Emperor from Leon is amazing since it buffs attack and defense for the group so I'll have to level him and experiment with group compositions to see if I can fit him in.

In my opinion save it. We don't know when for sure but a major event is coming up soon called Rift of Recollection. This event lets you go back and get characters and memory crystals you might have missed from earlier. Attached to this event are relic draws referred to as the Super Soulbreak Celebration. Most speculation puts this event right around Christmas time Each banner is going to have at least one Super Soulbreak weapon on it (there are 5 phases with Cloud, Squall, Rinoa, Paladin Cecil, Cloud and Tyro each getting a weapon so there will be one banner with 2 SSBs on it). The rest of the relics on these banners tend to be extremely good and highly sought after ones. My advice is to save that Mythril for the SSB Celebration and dump it all there.

Personally I've had the most bang for my Mythril during these banners. You have the same 12% chance of drawing a 5 star relic on them but the quality is much higher that when you do draw a 5 star it skews to the "really good and useful" side of Relics. I've currently got just shy of 75 Mythril and I'm not spending any of it until RoR hits.

Leon got his MC Last dungeon update.

You've got two choices right now. As I said in a post above there is going to be a Super Soulbreak series of Banners. If you already have a good assortment of relics and have no problems clearing content you might want to hold out for these. Again most speculation puts this series of banners around Christmas time but nothing is set in stone. Alternatively a new banner is coming out tonight for IX. It has a ton of Mage items on it.

Eiko's Golem Flute: Great for her. Not that great for anyone else since it's an instrument. The SB is fantastic though.

Vivi's Cypress Pile: One of the highest MAG rods in the game. The SB is just damage but it's solid, non-elemental, damage.

Garnet's Storm Staff: This is a really weird one. It's a Staff with more MAG than MND on it. It was designed with Garnet as a Summoner in mind and not as a White Mage. I have this one and I love it but Vivi has it equipped more than anyone else. But being a Staff a lot of BLMs can't actually equip it and it's a small thing but you don't want to accidentally use the Rod Master RM with it equipped. Finally the SB for Garnet is awkward if you're using her as a White Mage. The Summon scales off of MAG so it doesn't hit as hard if Garnet is in Healer mode. With all of that said it's still a great Relic and it was my first character specific one so I've got sentimental attachments to it.

There are also two generic 5 star relics on the banner. Ice Staff (see my issues with a high MAG staff above) and Healing Rod. Healing Rod is a WHM Rod. The traditional White Mage weapon is a staff but a lot more of them can use Rods than Black Mages and Staves. So Healing Rod doesn't have quite as many of the problems that Ice Staff and Storm Staff do.

Last thing:

This is every single upcoming banner from now through the current Japan event. It's really useful for planning things. Just keep in mind that we sometimes skip events (for example it's extremely doubtful we'll get banner 64 since FF III isn't a money maker) and some of our events are out of order. It's also worth noting that it's extremely unlikely that the SSB Banners that Japan got will be identical to ours. We've had two Soulbreak celebrations in the past and both times the banners were completely different than the Japan counterpart.

There's a Bonus Quest to pick up Garnet. It involves finishing finishing the very first IX Elite dungeon so you'll be able to pick her up at any time once you're strong enough. Like I said in my post above it's a great Relic. Just a bit awkward to use since it's a high MAG staff when most BLMs want Rods. But a couple of the better BLMs can use Staves so it's not as limiting as it first seems (such as Vivi). It's a very versatile Relic. I tend to use it more of a BLM weapon these days since it's my second highest +MAG weapon (my best +MAG weapon is Sleipnir's Tail which is a whip and limited to Quistis, Rydia and Tyro) but it can be used by either WHMs or BLMs very effectively.

Lenna actually makes a very good WHM early on before you get access to others. Her default SB is actually pretty useful and she has really good WHM stats. Tyro is an oddball character. He can do EVERYTHING but excels at nothing. He's great early on since he can fit in any role but eventually gets outclassed by characters who specialize in certain areas.

Pull on the new FF9 Banner with Eiko's relic. It's two of the holy trinity of AoE Heal/Hastaga/Stoneskin. I just did a 11 pull myself and got it, first relic I've pulled for that I got! So happy, just got Stoneskin to go so now I'm saving for every Thyrus banner.

I decided that Eiko's Cure+Haste relic is better than Sazh and Red XIII's Protect or Shell + Haste relics since you usually have to recast Protect and Shell on the harder bosses so I'd rather take the abilities and not have to stress about building limit break gauges or death. I'll also be using the AoE Cure+Haste on turn 1 so any unmitigated damage will get healed up rather than needed to S/L.

Eiko's Flute is really nice but was redundant for me so I didn't pull on the banner.

Don't forget that' Tyro's Sentinel Grimoire is the same thing as Thyrus. In fact it's probably better for you since Eiko is likely to be your primary healer for a long time with her Golem Flute. The big advantage of SG over SSII is that Tyro gets his MC2 in a month so he can hit level 80. Since I have SG my plan is to get his MC2 and use him in place of Sazh as my Support Breakdown guy. Currently I use Sazh for Boon and his Breakdowns and take SG or SSII as my Roaming Warrior. As soon as Tyro gets his MC2 I'm going to take him for SG and look for Hastega from my RW instead.

Is Steiner any good? Just pulled 3 Defenders from a relic pull...
