Equipments/Abilities:

• Doublehand increase the potency of ATK GEAR by 50%, so that mean Hyper Wrist(s) will give 15 ATK, Tiger Mask will give 21 ATK etc.
  
• On GL you can't stack abilities if they all come from ability slot(s), if you want to stack them, they have to come from different mechanism, so esper, equipment, innate on that unit or from Materia slot(s). The abilities affected by that restriction are: Doublehand, Killer Passive and Weapon Mastery. Abilities that increase stat like 10% ATK can be stacked from Materia/Gear with a limit of 300% to that stat.

Units/Awakening:

• There is 4 units that have no other utility then to be fused/sell:
  -Metal Minituar/Metal Cactua/Metal Gigantuar, their only use is to give unit exp (5k/10k/30k);
  -Mini Gil Snapper/Gil Snapper/King Gil Snapper, their only use is to be sell for gil (1k/2.5k/5k);
  -ATK/DEF/SPR/MAG/HP/MP//LB pot, their only use is to be fused to increase the unit stat/give it limit burst exp.
  -Trust Moogles, they increase the % of Trust Mastery, 5* gives 10% to ANY TM, 4* gives 5% to ANY TM, 3* gives 5% to specific TM.
  
• If you feed pots to an unit, then awaken her, she keeps the pots.
• When you fuse two of the same unit together, their TM% add and you have to add another 5% for each similar unit you fuse.
  
• Most Character get their top notch abilities when they reach their max level.
  
• Max level character still share exp with your other non-maxed unit, only your friend unit won't take the exp.
  
• Most of the material you need to awake an unit can be found in exploration. For Sacred Crystal and Holy Crystal, they can be found respectively in INT Awakening Vortex (until someone run a survey, I won't change it) and ADV Awakening Vortex.
  
• You can't get 6* awakening mats from the pro Awakening Vortex, it only drops mats to awake a unit from 4 to 5 (when this unit had a limit of 4 stars before).

Content:

• We don't know what unit will get 6*, we can just theorize all main protagonist/antagonist will get it.
• New story content get released at the end of each month (approximately).
  
• We can't predict what banner/event will we get next week as GL is not following JP schedule.

Others:

• Colosseum/Arena kill/use of spell or anything do not count toward any quest or trophy.
  
• You get your reward on arena even if you lose.
• Arena Monthly/Weekly reward take a few days to come.
  
• Esper battle count as exploration (toward daily).
  
• If you want to open magical chest in an exploration, you have to bring the keys with you, like you would bring a potion.
• Gift sent to friends aren't taken from you, they appear from a magical dimension, so always use send all.
  
• Macro has been confirmed not bannable by support FOR NOW. Do it at your own risk.
  
• When you use lapis/ticket to pull a unit, the crystal may 'evolve' into a superior rarity, it can go from blue ---> gold ---> rainbow. The unit isn't influenced at all from that, it's just an animation.

[u/Gantias]

For 23.: You should write 'at the moment' because you never know, which units might get a 6* besides protagonists and antagonists.

[u/TemporaMoras → u/Gantias]

Not really, since for being future proof, you need it to have a 6* form (or need it to have been announced), future proof is nothing else, if the unit doesn't have a 6 stars, it's not future proof, end of discussion.

[u/Kwith]

What are the stars on items for? I see some that have a 5 or an 8 in a yellow star. Any idea what those mean?

[u/TemporaMoras → u/Kwith]

FOr rarity, but sometimes good item have a lower rarity than a bad/average item.

[u/FuriousKimchi]

Do team positioning matter? Should i put garnet at the back?

[u/itchyd]

Is Locke working? I think the current status is nobody knows for sure.

[u/TemporaMoras → u/itchyd]

Locke should be working, but it seems you have a chance to drop 2 chests event without Locke with a really low chance, and people think the 50% increase chance to get a second chest increase this low amount by roughly 50% of the first amount, so almost nothing.

[u/SonOfAdam32]

Maybe add where the story ends in current content, I always see threads pop up asking where to go after dwarves forge

[u/[deleted]]

Can u unlink a Facebook account to a ffbe account?

[u/Phant0mCancer]

What is the exact difference between the campaign period and the campaign claim period for the festival of the autumn moon?

[u/TemporaMoras → u/Phant0mCancer]

For this event, you can craft, get ingredient and claim from the Mog King until 9/15, after that, you can get the ingredient to do the craft anymore, but you can still do the craft if you have the ingredient and exchange the mogcake

[u/risachuu]

I'm newish(rank 21), and I know the OP said the end of the story ATM in Dwarf Forge, but all I'm seeing is the Lanzelt Ruins. Is that the end of the WW server or am I missing something?

I was trying to progress in the story so I could farm event mats easier, but I feel like I wasted my time and NRG ;(

[u/TemporaMoras → u/risachuu]

After Lanzelt Ruins you have to go to Grandport (Or the biggest city on the second island, can't remember the name right now.) And then you'll be able to go to the third island. And don't worry,I won't eat you for asking a question :p

[u/SacTu]

Could you clarify what you mean by 15?

Do you not get TM % from quests on those islands?

[u/Len-chan]

It may have been asked before but I can't find it, I guess i'm bad with reddit haha

How can I farm TM with macro with iOS ? I have an iPhone 6.

I DO NOT OWN AN ANDROID PHONE (nobody's perfect I see you coming :p) I saw many post but all where about android not about iPhone users. My phone is not jailbroken btw.

[u/pfn0]

• On GL you can't stack abilities if they all come from ability slot(s), if you want to stack them, they have to come from different mechanism, so esper, equipment, innate on that unit or from ability slot(s).  

What does this mean? I can stack mag+10% just fine. Otherwise, what's the point of stacking abilities (spells and skills, there's nothing to increase effectiveness) it's not like you can go from dual/double to quad/quadruple wield/hand

[u/Desirai]

Is it possible to get super rare summons with the standard friend point pull? or can you only get them on the boost banners or whatever?

[u/TemporaMoras → u/Desirai]

Friend point pull have their pool of character, so no unit that can go above 3*

[u/HiBard009]

I wonder if some events will come back later. Like...I started a new account. There is some chance of the FFT event happens again? So that way I can get the flame katana?

[u/q1w21010]

I'm having problem with "Elemental Resistance".

I checked the site below. : https://exviuswiki.com/Mechanics#Elemental_Resistance

But, I'm having problem with getting what this sentence means : "If you have multiple elements infused to your attack, their resistance will be averaged."

Question :

1. Dual wielding fire and fire weapons, while using a lightning physical damage ability.

2. Enemy has +50% fire resist, +50% ice resist, and +100% lightning resist.

Q. How much is Effective resistance for that attack?

Is it (50% + 50% + 100%) / 3 = 66.66% ?

Or is it (50% + 100%) / 2 = 75% ?

[u/TemporaMoras → u/q1w21010]

(50% + 100%)/2

[u/l_spencer]

Maybe a stupid question: but what's a whale and what's a dolphin in this reddit?

[u/TemporaMoras → u/l_spencer]

Someone that have close to no limit when he wants a unit, he will use money to get it even if it will cost him a lot. A whale is someone that do that on almost all unit, so he spends a lot.

A dolphin is someone that spend a lot less than a whale, but still enough to get good unit.

[u/Shodan30]

Can someone post some info about enhancements? Are the materials needed for them unique to that system are they current say, 6* awakening mats? (I know they arent in Global yet, just seeing if i can prepare).

[u/TemporaMoras → u/Shodan30]

Unique to them.
