Pharmakos gives good advice, and I did the retaliate setup for a while in my early days, but I absolutely hated the playstyle. Was so happy when my team advanced to the point I didn't need to fall back on that anymore. Game gets way more fun once you land yourself a set of native trinity relics (medica, hastega, boostga).
Ok, I'm actually out of materials. I still have a bunch of 3* and 4* armor materials, but I have literally zero weapon materials. Is this just me?Realm dungeons are hot right now because they're half stamina, but orb fest is probably a better use of stamina at least until we hit materials phase. Tons of orbs + oodles of exp + more gil than you'll ever need.
Remember that getting your fifth stamina shard refills your meter. Those early dungeons at half stamina cost means you can run stuff near non-stop.
I've never had more gil then ill ever need. You seen the gil cost of max honed abilities and 8* reforging?
Mats runout from time to time when you dump all your mithril at once, not happened to me since the last battle in events started giving 30 of each. Doing 6 pulls tomorrow though...
