Friends and Support Summons

 

At the end of each successful raid, the game will ask you if you’d like to send a friend request to the player you’ve borrowed a summon from. While from time to time, some people will accept your requests regardless of what your own support summons are, it becomes less the case for higher rank players who can’t really afford having friends with junk summons.

 

A few things to know about the friend system:

● You start with 20 friend slots in your friendlist, which can increase to a maximum of 75 depending on your rank.

● Friend summons will show up in priority and regularly over random players’ summons.

● The frequency of appearance of your friend summons in your support list will depend on how much your friends play Granblue. So it’s not worth it to friend people with great summons but who play only once every month.

 

In order to maximize your chances at getting your friend requests accepted, here’s what you can do:

● Set up your Support Summons in your profile page. Seriously, no one wants to friend someone who still has a Proto Bahamut in every slot!

● Farm Magna MLB summons of each element, and slot them in your support slots. Having those will increase your chances of people accepting your requests by a lot, especially since Elemental summons owners might want Magna friends.

● Put your better elemental summons as support. As a rule of thumb, if the summon grants 80% or more elemental attack, it will be more valuable than a Magna summon.

● Farming a White Rabbit to put in your Misc tab will also increase a lot your chances of being accepted. You can farm it in the “Sharp Ears” Erune only free quest, Chapter 29/42 in Amalthea Island.

● Send messages / stickers on someone’s wall when friend requesting. It doesn’t seem like much, but people (and especially Japanese players) are pretty receptive to that sort of thing.

 

In-game trade and currencies

Rupies

Rupies are what you could call the “base currency” of GBF. They are used to perform all sort of actions, such as Uncapping characters / weapons / summons, Reducing items, using the rupee draw, buying casino chips…

The best way to gather rupees is to play in coop mode and sell the various drops you get there in Sierokarte’s shop (in the “Sell Treasure” tab). Otherwise, event gacha can drop quite a lot of rupies. It is not advised to sell any high rarity items to get rupies as it is a currency very easy to obtain in the game.

 

Treasure Trade

The treasure trade tab is a bit of a dump where you can exchange various things. It will mainly ask from you item drops from different quests in order to trade them for items or consumables. At our level, it’s important to note that any weapon that is sold in the Quest Items tab is either worthless or not affordable yet. However, feel free to trade your drops for potions and berries, as it is pretty much the only use of those materials.

 

The Treasure tab should be mainly used to trade for higher tier materials (higher tier orbs, scrolls, higher tier prisms), so that you can get materials to uncap your characters.

 

The events tab is where you can see the different shops for current or past events/collabs. We’ll get to it later.

 

Renown Pendants

 

Collecting these is a guaranteed way to get the magna weapon you want. Normally, the pendant cap (the maximum number of pendants you can earn per week) is at 2000, with an additional 500 if you include R characters in your frontline, and another 500 if you include SR characters in your frontline. If you include these characters, they must survive the battle.

The best way to know who will earn you pendants is to see who is in the victory animation at the end. See these two? They’re happy they survived the battle and now I get pendants according to their rarity (R, in this case). Yodarha is a SSR, too high a rarity to award you pendants, and the MC does not count.

You can earn up to 3000 pendants per week. If you cap every week, that’s 12000 a month! Omega weapons cost 5000 pendants and are limited to 2 purchases per month per weapon except Luminiera Omega Swords (limited to 7 lifetime purchases).

These are the ways to earn them:

● Defeat your 6 Hard island Showdowns every day, because they’re worth 12 pendants each. They’re easily found under the Featured Quests. You’re limited to 3 a day per Showdown. Doing this will earn you 1512 pendants weekly [12 x (6 x 3) x 7]. The remaining 500 should be gained via leeching other people’s raids. Remember to bring your R/SR characters to get that extra 1000 for their survival!

● If a raid battle ends within 3 minutes of your joining, or barring that, and you manage to gain at least 1800 honours, you earn pendants! If not, sorry…

● For the exact amount of how many pendants you can get, use this: https://gbf.wiki/Pendants

For extra pendants at the end of the month, you can buy Moons. The gold moon is especially interesting to get as cumulating them can allow you to buy rare items later in the game.

An important thing to note is that Renown resets weekly, so make sure you’ve maxed out your pendants before the end of the week!

Moons

Moons are mainly obtainable through gacha: you’ll get one moon every time you draw a character you already own. The moon received will correspond to the rarity of the character (R => Bronze, SR => Silver, SSR => Gold).

 

Bronze and Silver moons are extremely valuable to new players as they are one of the best source of potions and berries in the game. You can trade 5 Bronze moons or 2 Silver Moons for 30 pots or 100 berries. You shouldn’t consider trading your Bronze/Silver moons for anything else other than those at this stage of the game.

 

Gold moons are rarer, and as a result can be traded for P2W items (they can’t be traded for potions or berries unfortunately). For you beginners, there will be two options:

● Either save your gold moons for later (the good trade options start at 20 gold moons)

● Either trade one or two gold moons for 2500 CP, which will help you a lot to unlock your Row III classes.

Either way, try to not waste your moons for anything that isn’t potions, berries, or damascus ingots. Especially since Rupees and Experience books can be tempting, but they would be wasted moons.

 

Journey Drops

Journey Drops are a special currency that allow you to buy special time limited bonus in the shop. Those bonus are mainly QoL / Comfort ones, but are still very valuable to reduce the amount of grinding you’ll have to do.

 

Journey Drops are acquired through using AP during the day, for every 50 AP used you will receive 1 drop at the end of the day. Accumulating drops throughout the month will increase the next month’s “stage” (Regular, Silver, Gold, Platinum). The better the stage, the stronger the drop buffs will be. You’ll also receive crystals at the end of the month depending on what stage you reach (and even for the luckiest a free 10 draw ticket).

 

 

Cerulean Stones

 

Cerulean Stones are created from Cerulean Sparks, which are obtained every time you draw from the gacha (one draw = one spark). Upon reaching 300 sparks before the gacha period ends, you can trade for a character of your choice (called “Sparking”). But if you can’t reach that amount, your Cerulean Sparks will transform into Cerulean Stones.

 

Those stones are used mainly to buy materials used for various weapon / character upgrades and uncaps. The rate on the trade is pretty bad for most of the materials, the exception being for Tomes, Scrolls, and Dragon Scales, which have pretty decent exchange rates. There’s not much else to do with Cerulean Stones, so spend them however you feel like it.

Always Available to farm

Magnas/Omegas

Get used to seeing these faces, because you’ll be seeing them a loooooooooooooooooot.

From left to right: Tiamat Omega, Colossus Omega, Leviathan Omega, Yggdrasil Omega, Luminiera (aka. Chevalier) Omega, Celeste Omega.

Depending on your mono-element focus, you will want to fight these raids over and over (don’t worry though, these fights, when open to the public, usually end within minutes). Respectively, they are the wind, fire, water, earth, light, and dark raids. You gain access to them upon reaching Rank 30 and will be seeing them into Rank 101 and beyond.

Magnas provide the bulk of your weapon grid. At low level, you can do these things:

● Leeching, the majority of what you’ll be doing as a newbie. Essentially, you’re just there to get the loot. Unfortunately, when you first begin, you will have no working grid and you’ll barely see the HP bar budge when you attack. Luckily, with a 30 man limit to raids and enough high level players about, raids have enough room for you and can still finish even if you can’t personally contribute much. For extra brownie points, bring in useful skills or classes. Bounty Hunter/Treasure Hunt is always appreciated because you’ll be helping everyone's drop rates increase! Make sure to also use a support White Rabbit/Kaguya, and also journey drops!

● Wanpan (one punch), essentially punch and go. Use 1 skill, or just hit the auto attack button once, and you’ve guaranteed you’ll get some loot in that raid when it ends. (If you just enter and stare at the boss, it won’t count as anything and you’ll get nothing…) You can enter up to 3 raids in a row, and have up to 5 pending raids before you’re forced to collect loot. For raids with share chests like Grand Order, you can only do one at a time.

 

 While MVPing will be beyond your reach, take these tips into account:

● Luminiera Omega: When her health is above 50%, do not auto attack! DO NOT attack! Use a skill, any skill! This is because for every new person in the raid, her first attack will be Aegis Merge which will to re-activate her shield – that’s right, she’ll be immune to status effects and 90% of anyone’s damage. It’s incredibly annoying, please do not attack! This can potentially cause the raid to last beyond the minutes it would normally take to finish the fight.

● Celeste Omega: The Celeste Omega fight was recently changed, rather than keeping her old annoying Bizarre Fog triggers, they made it so it triggers only AFTER zombie has been applied. It now skill seals you and zombies the party. Aublade of Oblivion, her overdrive ougi and 50% trigger now applies zombie so be sure to clear it before proceeding to the next turn or else she casts Bizarre Fog. She also heals, blinds, and poisons you at her 25% trigger so be sure to have a Veil or clear for zombie to ensure she doesn’t kill you with the heal or annoy you with the blind.

 

Where to fight them?

● You can host your own raids! You need to have hosted and defeated their Normal, and then Hard versions first to unlock the Omega showdowns. You will also need to get Anima drops from their Hard raid versions to host them regularly. As a reminder (I recommend to bookmark the fight urls):

◦ Tiamat normal / hard is on Port Breeze Archipelago, Chapter 4

◦ Colossus normal / hard is on Valtz Duchy, Chapter 8

◦ Leviathan normal / hard is on Auguste Isles, Chapter 12

◦ Yggdrasil normal / hard  is on Lumacie Archipelago, Chapter

◦ Luminiera normal / hard is Adversa for story reasons, she is on Albion Citadel, Chapter 20

◦ Celeste normal / hard is on Mist-Shrouded Isle, Chapter 24

◦ You will then unlock the Omega showdowns of each respective island boss. They will be located on your first island, Zinkenstill. The Tiamat, Colossus Leviathan and Yggdrasil raids are located on the 2^nd node, while Luminiera and Celeste are on the 3^rd node.

● You can join other people’s raids and leech! You don’t need to have done any other pre-requisites, just reach Rank 30 and you’ll be able to see them in the Raid tab.

● Don’t hesitate to host your raid and let the twitter masses kill it for you, as I said earlier the host chest is really precious and has a high chance of dropping a SSR rarity item!

 

Tip!

I mentioned Yodarha (SSR) above. He’s an absolute blessing for your time because his charge attack hits for 999,999 damage if he has all 3 of his shrouds up. That is the entire HP bar of most island bosses (except Leviathan and Celeste). You are essentially able to one-shot a lot of easy bosses early on and it will shave off lots of farming time for you. If you’re unsure on who to pick if you buy a character ticket, Yodarha is recommended for newbies, just to help your progression curve be smoother.

Yoda also exists as a R character, so make sure you pick the SSR one...
