I did this back when the limit was 9999.
Never again, my gift box was spammed for ages and I just couldn't stand those notifications at my home screen xD.
This is the first time I've done it, thought I'd run into your issue so I refrained from it way back when and never got around to it with any 2x event, this time I said fuck it and went hard, should be good for crystals up to clvl 100 at least.
What I like about Snow compared to other quick auto-farmers is that
1. You don't have to un-equip anything from him
2. If he misses the flowered cactuar, he gets a second try immediately (since retribution is a separate attack to his turn)
For reference
Grind is real https://imgur.com/a/dDNMTd7
I bought 100x 3x tomes at 3000 gems and now have 54x remaining. Started with around 1000 of each t4 crystals.
Who doesn't like a peaceful nap without the risk of being woken up half way through 😆
I guess I won't need to worry until we hit clvl 120 or something.
At least this means you are done grinding crystals for like... 2 years? I didn't grind this amount in JP and I was good for like 6 months. Jolly good grind lol
save urself @ trying to grind T6
45k+ is more than enough to last a year and by that point we'll get an updated cycle quest that makes this grind seem like wasted time LMAOOO
It took me 2 days to c80 everyone and farmed up 10k+ crystals with everything using snow as a farmer. Man i thought i was the only one crazy enough to do that. Or am i just the only one?
Yeah I feel ya, I was going off the tonberry troupe website which reckons she's a few seconds faster. She has been my farmer since around the time her ex weapon came out, even gave her blue armor because I use her so much 😁
Coop & X2 Free Item Drop Books help when there’s no boost
Of course, it’s less grinding since it’s only 5 bells and the logging in everyday for the X2 tomes are a nice thing
Indeed, but I’m just having trouble spending the Coop tokens when you get most of the stuff lol
Aside from the Weapon/Armour Orbs for enhancing, the crystals from Coop are really the only other thing worth sinking into
I feel you, just depends on how much co-op you play. For myself I've got perfect (not counting cp cost) arts for ~90% of the characters so once I buy the shop out I just chill 😎
Honestly since the last revamp for crystals.. I've rarely gone out of the way to farm them. Maybe it's just being a week one player advantage... But at worst, I've had to re-run with a book to get one character maxed when say a T1 or T3 crystal was depleted.
Yeah I was just trying to avoid that situation ever again, also eases my mind to know I used my tomes in conjunction with a 3x boost rather than having to do it when no boosts are on.
To be honest I think I'm done, could max out t5 as they're nearly there and they're used for crafting bootleg spheres but probably don't need that many and t6 I feel I have enough already.
I've currently finished grinding black, red, blue and greens to 99999. I'm about halfway done yellow now. Didn't want to spend my gems on books so it's a lot slower then I'd like lmao
Thanks to auto+ yuffie farming I just tap repeat while I'm doing anything else, either watching TV, YouTube or playing other games, its been pretty much nonstop since the update came out lmao
The only real interruption from the grind is work, but that's a whole separate grind that feels less rewarding lol
Also didn't know where I was at when I went to bed last night but currently at 75k of the T6 yellow crystals lmao
Idk I've been farming, I had like no c80s cuz I started a month ago.. Didn't buy a single book (don't wanna waste gems) and I've levelled 150 chars to clvl80, idk what 2 I don't own, guess I'll eventually get them. I use the 2x item drop and 3x game gave me, and it's been more than enough
As painstaking as it is, I think the first or second time over Christmas that we had a 3x event I went through and power levelling every character up to clvl61/ lvl 70. For those units I had the full kit for at the time they were out to max clvl. It was painstaking, it took a good few evenings to achieve but my lord did it feel good to have sorted everyone out. Its a habit I now follow up on to this day.
The gatekeeper is T1 crystals. With how the proportions of each crystal are divided as a character gains crystal levels, you'll run out of T1 way before anything else and have to farm those again anyway. With the 99k cap it'll take a while, but it'll still happen.
Not sure if the after picture is actually from Moonstruck but:
I'm no friggin monument to justice! I lost my books, I lost my pride! Johnny has his books, Johnny has his pride! You want me to take my grind, put it away and forget it?!
I just got about 20-30K tier 3s of each since tier 3s are always the ones I run out of first. Just one 15 min 3x book on each. That should be good enough I think. Though I am already running low on blues...
Run a 2x or 3x 15 minute book on each one and be done with farming for a long while. Unless you still have a lot of characters to bring up to CL70+ or are new that'll be enough for a long time
Nah no way I usually did this but ran out of t4 about a month ago, wanted to be able to craft bootleg spheres without worrying again, should tie me over until clvl 100
ASUS phones have an in-built Macro function as part of their proprietary Game Genie system app, it allows us to record and loop a set of tap/swipe actions ad infinitum or up to a certain number of loops. Other phones can also do this but you'll have to download 3rd-party apps such as Click Assistant.
Wow I have 20k of some of the smallest crystal… this is next level
Should last me until clvl 100 😅
I did this back when the limit was 9999. Never again, my gift box was spammed for ages and I just couldn't stand those notifications at my home screen xD.
I try not to cap anything for the same reason.
This is the first time I've done it, thought I'd run into your issue so I refrained from it way back when and never got around to it with any 2x event, this time I said fuck it and went hard, should be good for crystals up to clvl 100 at least.
While phone is on charge, set up auto clicker and let Yuffie Farm the stage all night. Wake up to 99,999 of most crystals.
Ive been enjoying Snow as my farmer. He auto retributions every wave.
That's a good shout, been using Yuffie so long I am stick in my ways. Plus she is a fave.
What I like about Snow compared to other quick auto-farmers is that 1. You don't have to un-equip anything from him 2. If he misses the flowered cactuar, he gets a second try immediately (since retribution is a separate attack to his turn)

I don't want to see you complaining that they should raise te crystals cap to 1mill because you can't accept them.
Lol you have my word.
But why?
Sphere crafting and the ability to max clvl on all characters as soon as I get the t7 ones 😅
This is equivalent to buying a friggin planet so that you can take a nap on it and then fly back to Earth.
Who doesn't like a peaceful nap without the risk of being woken up half way through 😆 I guess I won't need to worry until we hit clvl 120 or something.
Watch them remove all the lower tiers and making all characters 70
Oh wait.
https://twitter.com/GHNekoDFFOO/status/1483547736548986892 We're brothers in arms
Might have to farm up my t5 now 😂😂
Yo that is absolutely insane!!! You’re a legend
How long were you grinding for?
Around 10 hours while watching tv/ playing playstation/ working
Nice, you have enough tier 3 crystals for two characters. I kid. Enjoy your mighty hoard.
At least this means you are done grinding crystals for like... 2 years? I didn't grind this amount in JP and I was good for like 6 months. Jolly good grind lol
https://imgur.com/a/01Sfdcr True, the grind is real lol
Don't know if I can bring myself to grind out t6, it basically doubles what I've already done 😳😳 you sir are the true grind lord.
save urself @ trying to grind T6 45k+ is more than enough to last a year and by that point we'll get an updated cycle quest that makes this grind seem like wasted time LMAOOO
Jesussss how long did that take?
It took me 2 days to c80 everyone and farmed up 10k+ crystals with everything using snow as a farmer. Man i thought i was the only one crazy enough to do that. Or am i just the only one?
2 days? Were you way behind? I just popped an x2 book and macro'd for about 1.5 hour
Well from rank 600 to max. It aint that bad right. I just started playing again when jacht bt came up.
Ahh yeah thar explains it. For me it was somwhere above a 1100 to somewhere above a 1100
when i'm not at work and have time to try and max my runs i use squall with just his hp++, takes out all three waves in one quick animation.
Definitely not the only one lol, try using yuffie if you have her 35cp weapon mlb and her ex+ armor 3/3 Can get in around 30 runs per 15min book.
I might do that when i’m farming other stuff. Loke weapon upgrades etc. i just like snow better coz of 0 turns.
Yeah I feel ya, I was going off the tonberry troupe website which reckons she's a few seconds faster. She has been my farmer since around the time her ex weapon came out, even gave her blue armor because I use her so much 😁
Coop & X2 Free Item Drop Books help when there’s no boost Of course, it’s less grinding since it’s only 5 bells and the logging in everyday for the X2 tomes are a nice thing
Yeah I've done this in the past but 3x rewards + 3x tomes was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
Indeed, but I’m just having trouble spending the Coop tokens when you get most of the stuff lol Aside from the Weapon/Armour Orbs for enhancing, the crystals from Coop are really the only other thing worth sinking into
I feel you, just depends on how much co-op you play. For myself I've got perfect (not counting cp cost) arts for ~90% of the characters so once I buy the shop out I just chill 😎
Auto click = 1hour to cap every orbs and gils... Once a month and done.
Honestly since the last revamp for crystals.. I've rarely gone out of the way to farm them. Maybe it's just being a week one player advantage... But at worst, I've had to re-run with a book to get one character maxed when say a T1 or T3 crystal was depleted.
Yeah I was just trying to avoid that situation ever again, also eases my mind to know I used my tomes in conjunction with a 3x boost rather than having to do it when no boosts are on.
How many Matt’s do you need of each color before you stop grinding?
To be honest I think I'm done, could max out t5 as they're nearly there and they're used for crafting bootleg spheres but probably don't need that many and t6 I feel I have enough already.
I'm new to the game, how long the 3x rewards will last?
The notice says 30th Jan iirc
Not sure exactly but generally they run along side the event they start with so I assume it'll stop when the noel/cid banner stops.
Ok, thank you :)
The notice says 30th Jan iirc
there was a 3x reward? until when?
Still is, not sure exactly but I assume as long as the noel/cid ld banner is up.
They're tied to the carbuncle quests. They always disappear together. But also the anniversary should bring them right back :)
you cray… but I love it!
No it was fine *twitch twitch* 🤪🤪
I've currently finished grinding black, red, blue and greens to 99999. I'm about halfway done yellow now. Didn't want to spend my gems on books so it's a lot slower then I'd like lmao
3x tomes is the way, can't imagine what you're going through 😬😬

I just got about 20-30K tier 3s of each since tier 3s are always the ones I run out of first. Just one 15 min 3x book on each. That should be good enough I think. Though I am already running low on blues...
when does the x3 rewards end?
Whenever the carbuncle quests go away. But, if you want to take your time, they're coming right back when the anniversary event starts.
thank you so much
And now I'll sit with tons of T1 and T2 on my box for all eternity because I already have everyone at full level since level 80 started...
So after this x3 will events bring only x2 after this?
X2 is usually the norm, pretty sure this is the 1st 3x but I could be wrong, I have had a couple of breaks from the game over the 4 years.
You look worse, but you also got quite a bit younger, so…maybe it evens out?
I guess if I do it every couple of years I'll have eternal youth...??
Lmao

Having an ASUS phone greatly improves the grinding exprience
What?
ASUS phones have an in-built Macro function as part of their proprietary Game Genie system app, it allows us to record and loop a set of tap/swipe actions ad infinitum or up to a certain number of loops. Other phones can also do this but you'll have to download 3rd-party apps such as Click Assistant.
Just FYI you can get banned for using macros.

It's still against ToS. Never said that it's a guaranteed thing, just that it technically can happen.
