TL;DR: around a 2% increase in attack power per boss/evergaol/POI grace, caps at ten stacks.

When you get invaded by the Fell Omen (aka Morgott) and defeat him, you get a new passive called "Traces of Grace-Given Lord" which says, "Newly found Sites of Grace raise attack power".

I collected the following info from watching a VOD and taking notes. The results:

• Increases attack power by 1.5% - 3% per grace, based on example below. (And based on the assumption that the increase is linear.)
• Caps at 10 graces.
• This only counts sites of grace you reveal, like when you beat a point of interest, a world boss, an evergaol, etc.
• Retroactively counts previously revealed sites of grace.

TL;DR: they make your Ultimate Arts Gauge fill up faster over time while in combat. They probably have no impact on how much it fills up each time you hit the enemy.

The difference between +0 and +5 was about a 17.5% improvement, so estimate each +1 is a 3.5% improvement.

__The longer version:__

* While you are in combat, your ultimate gauge slowly fills automatically.

* I used Wylder's default greatsword, two handed, in the sparring grounds at Roundtable Hold.

* I used a Wylder relic set with a +2, a +2, and a +1, for a total of Ultimate Arts Gauge +5.

* If you don't charge Wylder's ult, he has about 20% of his meter left after you use it. __All tests were done from that \

Old-time PSO player here, returning to get in on the ground floor of NGS. I didn't play PSO2 until the week of the global closed beta of NGS, and now I'm poking around on PSO2 to get cosmetics while we wait for June Xth.

So far I've seen cosmetics from:

• Scratch Tickets / AC Shop / SG Shop

• Mission Pass

• Personal Shop using meseta

• Casino Coin shop

• Couturier shopkeep

• Turning Photon Drops/Crystals/Spheres/Boosters into weapon camos

• FUNporium shop

• Turning EX-Cubes into FUN Point tickets to spend above

• Swapping 10*+ weapons / units for EX-Cubes to do above

Edit:

• Titles, such as from playing on Steam

• Events like Road to NGS and SAO

Are there any other ways to get

My go-to A Team is:

• RW Wall
• Lightning - Lifesiphon + Tempo Flurry / misc (SSB, with Kaiser Shield, +dmg RM)
• Agrias - Lifesiphon + Drain Blade / misc (SSB + SB, +dmg RM)
• Ramza - Lifesiphon + Full Break (Tailwind and Stone SBs, +dmg RM)
• Aerith - Cures + Protectga (Planet Protector, Mako Might)
• Quistis - Magic/Power Breakdown + Armor Breakdown (Mighty Guard, Dr. Mog's Teachings)
• (If the boss negates lightning damage but not holy, I can sub out Lightning for Pecil with SSB; that's my only other SSB.)

I always give Lightning my highest damage weapon, since she usually does over 40K damage with her SSB thanks to the Kaiser Shield. It turns out that I have a 5* weapon for Lightning

With a physical multiplier of 5.92 4.92 divided into 4 hits, plus armor reduction better than Armor Breakdown, Thancred's Dancing Edge is the most damaging non-SSB, non-SLG soul break in Global pretty decent. If you have very few multi-hit physical SBs, this seems like a reason to try to slot him into your party. And heck, if you also have Ninja Chainmail then he has a backup AOE physical hit with 100% Slow attached. Even better!

(EDIT: My source was the very helpful FFRK.pdf, provided by u/MysteriousMisterP, however u/Enlir claims that the 5.92 / 4 in the pdf is mistaken and it's actually 4 hits at 1.23x for a total of 4.92. That lines up with Wakka's Status Reels, plus he's Enli

When I get home tonight I'm finally free to play the game again, and it feels great!

Vale of Memories ends in about 28 hours, so that's my cue. I want to complete VoM tonight, with plenty of spare stamina in case something goes wrong. Then I'll head into the FFV event to grab Krile and Faris, and bring them to do each stage of Festive Fantasy Phase 5 once.

And what's next? Whatever I damn well please! I could work on the Dungeon Update, I could do Easy stages of Phase 5 to unlock RMs and get some mats (after that recent post saying that Easy Phase 5 is the best equipment experience per stamina), I could just continue with the FFV event, or I could even do the Daily if I wanted. (Yeah, no,

No need to rush. Just take a deep breath and choose wisely.

(And then take Tyrfing and craft Barrage.)

I regularly make use of the awesome Orb Chart on our wiki - https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/wiki/index/orb_list - and give big props to everyone who has contributed! It's helped me a lot, and I'm sure it's helped many others.

While planning ahead I just realized that Lifesiphon isn't on there, even though it came out months ago. (For reference, an older thread said that Lifesiphon uses 5 Greater Power, 3 Greater Ice, and 3 Greater Wind to create.)

So, now I'm worried: are there any other abilities missing on the Orb Chart? Thanks in advance!

We now have confirmation that JP will have 10:1 conversion of orbs upwards in quality as of September 10th. For example, 10 3-star Lightning can be turned into 1 4-star, and 10 4-star can be turned into 1 5-star.

With that in mind, will you be doing a lot more Heroic Daily orb dungeon farming? Should we all stick to doing airplane mode and repeatable Elite 4* farming, or only do that when we're going for a specific hone?

We'll be waiting months to see this, but it's definitely worth discussing how we'll all be using our free stamina (quickly used at work or at school, etc.) when not do
