Materia Hunt Event - New And Returning Players

Whether you are a New, Returning, and/or looking to round out your teams - I highly recommend The Materia Hunt Event.

With all the Stamina Pots we are receiving, it's a great spot to use them. After the first time this Event came around, all my Teams were significantly better and I was completing much more that the game was offering, all thanks to setting my Attackers/Supports up with full Materia corresponding to the Element being used.

How Does it Work?

From what I've done, which is a lot, it seems to work as such:

  • Any completion has a chance to drop any quality of Elemental Materia corresponding to the Stage you select + some Synthesis Materials to create your own
  • Magic and Physical (Blow) Materia are both available, random
  • Materia is locked at a Level 1 with curated Stats and Sigils
  • Example - Elemental Potency varies from:
    • 6.1% , 7.9% , 9.7% , Refined (11.5%)

Rare encounters is a guaranteed additional drop, meaning you could get 2 drops if 1 drops from base completion, too

  • Cactuar = atleast a 6.1% Materia or higher, 6.1% more likely
  • Bomb = atleast a 6.1% Materia or higher, 7.9% more likely
  • Yuffie = atleast a 9.7% Materia or higher, seems to favor max 11.5% Refined Materia but 9.7% possible
  • Any of the above can drop Refined (11.5%) Materia

Remember to do your 1/day skip daily! Magic Water Guild Battle is coming up, but farm out any Element that you are having trouble with / want to improve / lack in. Filling Attackers' 3 Materia Slots with good Materia really was the big jump in Power for me when I started playing less than a year ago. Refined (11.5%) or not!

Yes, If Any Interest, It's A Good Time To Try Ever Crisis

As of the Tuesday update, all the microtransactions are gone. In return, all players are getting loads of Currency and Tickets to pull as we make our way through these final 3 months. This is a free-to-play game.

If you have had any interest in Ever Crisis, I think this is a great time to try it out. There's plenty to familiarize yourself with in the UI, of any Gacha, but you'll get the hang of it soon enough.

WHY PLAY?

- Exclusive Young Sephiroth Story

- Dirge of Cerberus Story (Vincent)

- Crisis Core Story (Zack)

- Advent Children (Movie)

- Before Crisis Story (The Turks)

- OG Story

Now, you could watch these on YouTube if you really wanted to. However, New Players will have the tools to experience these stories for themselves, with very little to no friction. One caveat: The original Story and Before Crisis will not be finished until September.

Until September, when Before Crisis and OG conclude, you can experience the other Stories in full and:

- Dungeons

- Battle Towers

- Story Quests (Exclusive stories about Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith, and Zack)

- Events

There's plenty to do in this game as a new player. These will all reward you with even more Crystals to pull. You will be showered in Crystals.

In today's sandbox, the Permanent Content won't give you too much trouble, or at all. You could even use "Recommended" Party and Auto-Battle for all of it if you want. Try it out. Enjoy the splendor and riches these last few months!

Edit: If this post convinces you or someone to try. I'll leave a New Player Guide here. There's also plenty of them on YouTube! https://www.reddit.com/r/FFVIIEverCrisis/s/LkPcN8Vnsu
