Hocus Pocus Raid Event

image

This month, the raid event is a lot more like they used to be.  You get Raid Coins for beating bosses and you can fill out a Raid Board every weekend.  Hocus Pocus - that ripped pumpkin house in the picture - is your new raid boss.  He only has two weak points, which means only three turns of attacks.  To top it off, the Level 1 has over 7 million health.  Very tedious, but great for Lux farming.

There are some new bonuses though!  For example, completing the Raid Event mission once can net you 150 extra jewels - 50 per objective.  Also, beating a Level 10 raid boss still gets you a 6 star Chip, Dale, and Moogle.  It’s nice that they kept those rewards, but the bosses have much more health now so it will be even more time-consuming.

The board takes 190 coins to complete.  You get 50 coins for victory, 10 for all points, and 10 for host.  That means it takes three or four kills to clear the board.  The rewards for the board are:

~Chip +85
~Dale +85
~Cid
~Magic Mirror
No title

Like always, Double Lux and Double Spawn Rate for associated times.  Those times haven’t changed.

Every weekend for the month of October this event will come up for Saturday and Sunday! 

Have a wonderful month everyone!

Weekend Warrior Raid Event - Lux Changes

So the weekend event from two weeks ago - that crab that is stupid hard to kill - is back!  And thankfully, it’s not quite so terrible.

The boss still has 10 million HP.  So yeah, that’s a lot of time-wasting.  With four people it was about a half-hour endeavor.  Like last time, killing the boss gives 50 event coins, and 10 for All Points and 10 for MVP/Host.  Since the board takes 140 coins to complete, that’s two or three kills.

The event board isn’t any better than last month either.  It includes:
~Chip +85 total (two +5, three +25)
~Dale +85 total (two +5, three +25)
~Cid -1 cost
~6* Munny for completion
~No title

Then why is it better this time around?

Lux rewards actually exist now!  Last time, you’d be lucky to pull 400 lux per attempt on the boss.  This time, you’re looking at ~20k lux with basic attack and ~45k with special. (Those were my numbers anyway - it’s based on the damage dealt.) The weak points also give less lux than the main body.
**Note: this was not during Double Lux times, but it still said x2 Lux, so I’m not sure what’s up with that**

My roommate leveled from 106 to 170 on two bosses.  Alternatively, I went from 212 to 216.

So is the event worth it?  Probably not.  But it’s a great way to farm lux if you haven’t hit 250.  And you get +85/+85 along the way.

Have a great weekend!  Enjoy the Mega God Crab!

Weekend Only Raid Event - 8/6

So apparently they are doing raid bosses every weekend.  And they are stupid strong.  This weekend is a Fortress Crab with 10 million health.  With two friends, we couldn’t beat the thing in an hour.  So this is going to be one of those “can’t solo” kind of things.

So what do you get?

There’s an associated event board, containing:
–1 Cid
–3 Chip (+25)
–3 Dale (+25)
–2 Chip (+5)
–2 Dale (+5)
(Maybe a title?  Someone tell me if it gives you a title!)

Also, between 1-2p, 5-6p, and 8-9p Pacific time, you get:
–Appearance rate of raid boss doubles
–Lux received doubles
–AP cost reduced by half
Which is all useless, since AP is only 10, then 1AP for each attempt on the boss, and the Lux it gives is absolutely abysmal. (You’re looking at 400 lux per run).

So that boss has ten million HP.  That’s 30 times the Fortress Crab from the other event.  The timer is two hours.  Each kill nets you 50 event coins, plus 10 for host/mvp, and 10 for all points.  The board takes 140 coins to complete, so you’re looking at 2 runs as host/mvp, or 3 otherwise.

All in all, this whole event seems pointless.  I’m not even going to bother with screenshots or videos.  If +85 strength/defense means more to you than three hours of your life, have at it.  Otherwise, don’t bother.

(Then again, I’ll probably do it anyway… in case there’s a title!!)

Edit: With 5 people, it takes about 20 minutes to kill.
