More often than not, when i pull the limited time units, i try to mlb them before their time expires. At last day, i pump all the possible route for shards (including star medal, chococbo, and lastly, visiore), to get them to mlb Once mlb, i just pump 1350 soul medal to get the unit to 115, and very slow build from there. People tend to forget that lv 115 unit are mostly very viable and competitive Edit : rushing 115 to 120 is like spending 10k more vis, with only minimal return (aside from broken 120 skill like yuna, locke, elena, etc) I prefer save those 10k for the future banners
Challenge board: 120 Login: 40 Event mission: 40 Character Quest: 15 Gil summons: 70 Barracks(1 week): 14 Chocobo(bad 1 week outcome, no tickets): ~10 Soul stars(only up to 5 per shard exchange): 100 That's 400+ shards in worst case scenario without any boosts of any sort like chocobo tickets or shardilis spent with zero visiore and without nuking your soul stars to oblivion. A casual limit break 4 for no premium currency spent. Now if you're a light spender and went for daily purchase the whole week for 80 more shards and used some shardilis and tickets that's an easy 500+ shards first week and all that WITHOUT counting whether you were able to grab shards from pity coins. Assuming you end up with zero free vis after you pull you get 2100 from logins, 700 from dailies, 200 from monday missions, 350 from guild, 200 top 10k arena, 200 from maintenance =3750 free vis =75 shards. You have to be f2p to the bone + went to pity and was truly vis broken to have an excuse for not being able to reach mindsphere stage before a banner that lasts for a single week goes away.
Finding this video out late because I didn't plan on pulling Esther, but I got really lucky while pulling for Elena's VC :) Thanks for the great video!
I love your guidance for f2p. I'm about the same for Easter and her VC so just gonna save the vis and wait for Astoria. My celes is max but I got them all MLB and been slow building terra and next Locke in the barracks.
*limited collab units used same mindspheres except global fest* also remember 150/3 shards is "not" cheaper than 500/5 ...(typo) 500/10 50 free visiore=1 shard
whimsy shop (only when shows discounted otherwise its 50:1 shard) like 20% off usually old units also correction my typo 500/5>10 150/3 = 50 per shard 250/5 = 50 per shard 500/10 = 50 per shard
just wish that gil summon stay they make so hard to max more than one character in collab now before you can get 70 shard each in every single collab uint now u can pike only one here my advice you can only max one character 120 of u work hard with out spend visor but of u plane to max two or 3 you gone need spend att less 20k in shard
Yeah, really hate those gil summon changes. I understand if it is for returning banner like global original, but i disagree when they apply it to a wholly new banner (ff6)
If youve been playing long enough, youll rack up plenty of those, even as a f2p. You get those stars naturally as you pull dupes when you have a lot of EXed units and maxed VCs.
@@zikzein i know, i play since day one and have plenty of maxed out unit and vc, but i don't have nearly enough stars to buy the first round of exchanges for everyone and the 10 cost of lt units. Definitely not a f2p option
This is account is not F2P, but it's as plankton as you can get! (barely RR7 and I've played since launch) I cover this in the video, but you can pick up an easy ~250 from the Guild Barracks and Friend Medals each month (+6 rainbow spheres) and each unit you take from 99 to 120 nets you another 400. I would argue Soul Medals are THE most help to F2P since many players shouldn't need to pay visiore for mindspheres any more.

Exactly. 115 - 120 is 10k visiore that you can slow build if needed. Great tips here!
Wow, I totally never thought of abusing the Arena and Friend medals to amp up Medals for spheres, that's brilliant.
Just a fantastic condensed gold mine of tips for maxing (limited) units.
Challenge board: 120

Character Quest: 15
Gil summons: 70

Love this breakdown! Yup, pretty much correct, especially when these collabs go for 3-5 weeks.
For the chocobo expeditions, make sure to set a bonus unit to raise rare drop rate. I save the 5h tickets for Rare Item Drop Rate days.
That soul medal trick is BRILLIANT. I'mll use that! Thanks!

Thanks for the great video!
Great info. I often just don't have the time to do the math when deciding on if I should pull so I over save. Videos like this are super helpful
Finish the VC, barracks the Unit.
Bro thanks for the mindsphere button tip i had no idea lol it made maxing out astrius 1000xeasier
I love your guidance for f2p. I'm about the same for Easter and her VC so just gonna save the vis and wait for Astoria. My celes is max but I got them all MLB and been slow building terra and next Locke in the barracks.
Love me 💕💕💕 I still love your deep voice NN. Nice math video by the way. You help us do our math in spending vis.
I've never been this early to anything
*limited collab units used same mindspheres except global fest*
also remember 150/3 shards is "not" cheaper than 500/5 ...(typo) 500/10
50 free visiore=1 shard
Can I know what you mean by 150/3 and 500/5?
@@zikzein I think he means 2k vis for 20 shards from summon medals and have no clue why he said 500/5 instead of 100/1 or 2000/20.
whimsy shop (only when shows discounted otherwise its 50:1 shard) like 20% off usually old units
also correction my typo 500/5>10
150/3 = 50 per shard
250/5 = 50 per shard
500/10 = 50 per shard
Why do I only have FFVI mindsphere in the soul star exchange? Don’t see FFXIV there despite Thancred at 115.
Limited mindspheres dissapears after event ends until the event is rerun.
@@hizaki86 that’s shit….i thought only the unit and the shards are gone. Are they gone from Guild Barracks too?
@@hermanyuen4046 no, you can still slow build them in the barracks.
The Barrack is your gold mine for limited time unit
As @Timxty said, the Guild Barracks is your best friend for limited units!
just wish that gil summon stay they make so hard to max more than one character in collab now before you can get 70 shard each in every single collab uint now u can pike only one here my advice you can only max one character 120 of u work hard with out spend visor but of u plane to max two or 3 you gone need spend att less 20k in shard

It’s not delivery, it’s visiore now.
how do you get that much soul stars tho...oh, you pay to pull a lot hhaha not so f2p actually

@@NerdNight agreed, i actually maxed my S.Elena when i pulled for her with only 2k visiore leftover hahah
@@zikzein Stop Confusing Soul Stars and Mog Medals its not hard. Soul stars do not come from maxed UR's
This is painfully slow.
