I got 3 Legendary Symmetrical Lances & 1 Legendary Pistol in 3 consecutive runs

I had some crazy luck on BC2. I got a Legendary Symmetrical Lance in one run, a Legendary Pistol in the next one, and two Legendary Symmetrical Lances in the next run after that. For people who don't know, the lance has a whopping 300% damage increase, so it literally melts everything.

Unbelievably, I could not finish any three of the runs, dying to stupid mistakes. I beat BC2 in the next run after that with a Baseball Bat + Wolf Trap lol

Beat BC2 on the run #184!

What a relief. I got 3 Legendary Symmetrical Lances across 3 consecutive runs, if you can believe that. Unbelievably, I wasn't able to beat any of those runs, dying to stupid mistakes. It was incredibly frustrating.

Thank God I finally beat BC2, that too with a humble Baseball Bat + Wolf Trap + Brutality build!

Legendary Machete & Pistol build question

Hey, I just reached the Ramparts on 2BC. Building for Brutality, with 8, 2, 1 spread right now on scrolls. I also luckily got the legendary Machete & Pistol, which just fires the Pistol for crits.

Can someone help me with a build for this in terms of the mutations + synergy skills? Thank you.

Is the Avidya Eye not viable endgame?

I really like the Avidya Eye, because it's easy to make, the affinity lets me run non-critical eye max builds (WEX 3 is enough), and the rapid fire for both Pierce 1 and Pierce 2 is just comfy overall.

Is it really not viable endgame? I have level 3 attack boost unlocked on mine (qurious crafting). Should I absolutely aim for the Silver Shooter instead?

What is the fastest and repeatable way to get the Health Augments?

I just reached endgame, and I'm only MR43. What would be the fastest way to reach MR100 and get Coral Highlands in the Guiding Lands to LV7? (I assume that's the only one we need.)

I like things that are fast and can be repeated, if that is even possible here. Sorry if question is stupid, the wiki is too dense on information to be useful for me.

Is it reasonably possible to solo AT Velkhana with this build?

Assume max defense. I don't have a ton of decos, so this is the best build I could possibly make for my style of play. I play Crit Draw GS, with a hit and run play style. I think I'm fairly okay/good at it.

My question is, is this reasonable to do if I play good (learn Velkhana's moveset), within the allotted time period?

When can I meld Velkhana Crystal?

I just beat Velkhana in the story. I've also got a Celestial Wyverian Print, but the crystal doesn't show up for me to meld. I can meld mantles of stuff, like Brachy's, but not the crystal. When will it show up?

Can someone recommend a hit & run GS poverty build for Raging Brachy?

This guy was my wall back when I played Iceborne. I want to take him down, but I don't have a lot of time to grind some crazy optimized build. Is there like an easy poverty build for Raging Brachy I can use?

I like playing hit & run GS mostly. I'm okay at tackling and TCS, but quite unreliable.

Took a little over 30 minutes for Narga and Glavenus in Iceborne

Picked up the game after months. I'm playing a crit draw greatsword, have the crit draw 3, crit boost 2, and some other skills I could slot in with the limited armor that's available, Jagras GS.

Both these fights took just over 30 minutes for me. No faints on Narga though, but he was quite annoying. I'm using the clutch claw whenever the monster staggers, I usually do a triangle (to tenderize I believe?).

Am I missing something obvious? I realized I never do wall-bangs, is that a must for good dps? If so, when should I do them? Should I always start with a wall bang because the monster is not enraged?

I don't like counters, can I still Long Sword in Sunbreak?

Okay, so I really prefer a dodge-heavy, non-counter play style. Can I still play Long Sword in Sunbreak? Is it optimal DPS to spam Sakura Slash, get to red, unload with Sacred Sheathe?

Long Sword bread and butter in base game + Sunbreak?

Hey, so I want to start a new game and thinking about picking up the Long Sword this time. What is the bread and butter? From my own research, I know Sakura Slash spam for building spirit levels and then unleashing with Sacred Sheathe is the most recommended. Makes sense to me. I don't really enjoy counter-based play, so this sounds like it should be fun for me.

What about base game though? I know you can only get Sacred Sheathe in Sunbreak.

One Vision: Are white knights worth it?

I've been running a knight with some great results. 1H hammer with shield, solid damage, good tanking, the usual.

I'm about to recruit the white knights, but my questions is: are they worth it over the regular knight? I know in Reborn, they were crazy good. But in One Vision, everything seems viable mostly.

Looking for a modder to help me change some text in One Vision (can pay)

Hey, I'm looking for a modder to help me make a variant of One Vision with some text-only changes. Item descriptions, spells, lore, dialogue, etc. It should be pretty simple, and the number of changes very manageable.

My only condition is that it needs to work with the latest version of One Vision and also work with the HD UI pack. I'm also willing to pay for this (something reasonable).

Can anyone help me out?

I built a WordPress plugin for Typeform-style forms [PREMIUM]

I built a novel form builder: Forms.md for WordPress

It lets you build conversational, multi-step forms inside WordPress using a simple Markdown-style syntax. Of course, it also supports classic forms if you don't want slides. Anyway, instead of dragging blocks around, you write forms like this:

name* = TextInput(
  | question = What's your name?
)

email = EmailInput(
  | question = What's your email?
)

There's also a really nice AI form builder to help you write your forms:

https://youtu.be/8NfaB4cyOpY?si=VhxMu1vJoClmdVty

Some cool features:

  • Typeform-style UX or classic forms (your choice)
  • Conditional logic
  • AI-powered form generation
  • File uploads, ratings, NPS, etc. (all the field types you can think of)
  • Fully accessible
  • Dark mode support
  • Unlimited forms and submissions

The plugin is lightweight, developer-friendly, and doesn't lock you into some horrible proprietary builder. The underlying core is open-source with > 5k registered users: forms.md.

Would love feedback from other devs and WordPress folks.

I got FF12 back in 2006 on my PS2. I barely played it back then. I'd open it after school, usually dead tired, play for a bit, then drop it because of the pacing and just pass out or something. But I still remember being completely blown away by the graphics, the scale, all of it. I didn't even make it to Bhujerba, but the game somehow lived rent free in my head for years. Then my PS2 died, and even though I wanted to, I never got to go back to it.

Fast forward to 2024, I have a Switch Lite, so I grab the remaster. Instantly hooked. Played it like crazy. The speed up feature helps a ton, but honestly this game had already been sitting in my brain for ages. I'm still amazed by the world and the characters. Did another playthrough this year too.

Even some of the criticism this game gets actually work in reverse for me. For example, Vaan is not that well liked because he is a whiny teen. Well, when I played it, I found him a really endearing character because he was young and carefree. It fits the story too, and Square Enix obviously made Vaan the main guy to lure in players my age (which worked in my case). I also really enjoy Panelo and Vaan's relationship (she reminds me a bit of my wife lol). Not to even mention everyone else, who are all great characters, but going back to the common criticism, it would be really difficult for me (personally) to relate to someone like Basch or leading-man Balthier when I first played the game.

It's my favorite FF now, and one of my favorite games ever. It almost feels like a game made specifically for me. Like somehow it's way better than the sum of all its parts.

Also, I thought I would mention this, but FFTA2 comes closest to this game when it comes to hitting the same kind of peak. I know many people skipped that one, but I even prefer it over the original FFT (which is great).
