2nd Anniversary Campaign

It's been 2 years since *Mobius Final Fantasy* started! With thanks to the over 10 million people that have played across the world in that time, Square Enix is throwing a month-long celebration! The **2nd Anniversary Campaign** promises to offer valuable prizes all month long for all of the active players... and great incentives to bring previous players back to the game!

Overall, the Campaign is a collection of promotional giveaways and bonuses. There are no special event regions this year.

## Login Bonuses

What's a celebration without gifts! Players can expect these to show up, just for logging into the game!

### Special Login Bonus panel

During the course of August, a second Login Bonus is available, obtainable with a daily login over 16 days. Gifts include 14  Summon Tickets and 2  Growstars. Unlike the normal Login Bonus panel, this does not give any extra prize for completion, but players have all month to complete it, compared to the usual 18 day span.

### Daily Gifts

As part of Mobius Week, players will receive a daily gift of  Elixir x1 and  Phoenix Down x1. In addition, players will receive unique items for the length of Mobius Week:

### Multiplayer Revive Stamp

 2nd Anniversary Stamp: "Congrats!"

In addition, players will receive the **2nd Anniversary Commemorative Stamp** if they log in during Mobius Week. This stamp is used during multiplayer combat in the Ring of Braves. Using it will allow your character to revive from death once per battle with *no negative effects.* "Undefeated" bonuses will stay in place, and you don't spend a  Phoenix Down doing so!

* This is in effect over August 2018 only.
* Each of the 4 players gets one use, using their own stamps.
* This is the same effect as the new *Tidus: "You're Going Down!"*, *Yuna: "Nice Work!"*, and *Echo: "I love MOBIUS!"* stamps. Only one can be used per multiplayer battle.
* The First Anniversary stamps *Grats!* and the old *I love Mobius* do not offer this effect.

## Solo Play Companion Spirit bonus

* Time: Aug 1 - 17, 2018

Playing solo campaign regions with one of these Companion Spirits equipped will get the player an extra *Improved Extra Skill Unlock* bonus, giving the player a better chance to unlock all of their Abilities' skills.

* 2nd Anniversary Echo
* Puffy Cait Sith
* Celebratory Tonberry
* Into-the-Groove Mog
* Anniversary Echo
* Sparkleberry
* Funtuar

## Mobius Gift Box Appreciation gifts

For those players who have bought the Mobius Gift Boxes, the first login will also get a slew of gifts, depending on how many months of the Boxes they've purchased.

 13+ | Summon Ticket x1  Multiplayer stamp "I love MOBIUS!"

If you're on the cusp of the next reward set, then the extra rewards will be sent to your inbox as soon as you've purchased the new Gift Box.

## Mobius Week

* Time: Aug 1 - 12, 2018

As a special item during the celebration, the first week of the month takes the normal bonuses of Mobius Day and stretches them out for an entire week! Each day gets you:

* Elixir x1
* Phoenix Down x1
* Stamina fully restored +88 more
	+ *on Aug 8, this will be +888 more!*
* Elixirs will gain you double your character's Stamina.
* Skillseeds are quadrupled for all elements in the Exploration Regions
* Fusion percents are increased by 20% (so a 50% chance becomes 60%)
* All fiends will drop their cards with Ability Lv.2. Great for Fusion use.
* All regions offer Improved Extra Skill Unlock. This stacks with the Extra Skill unlocks from Weapons, Companion Spirits, Fractals and Abilities.
* Pleiades Lagoon is fully open, allowing you to try for any element you wish. Great for stocking up on Pneuma cards.

## Welcome Back Campaign

* Time: Aug 1 - 17, 2018
* Welcome Back news page

Rewards aren't just for existing players... they're also for new players! And as a way to bring back people who stopped playing! To encourage this, Mobius FF is staging another **Welcome Back Campaign**! The more players who either come in New, or return to the game after at least 30 days of inactivity, the higher the rewards for everyone!

### Welcome Back Summons

* New and returning players get a free Mobius Gift Box
* New and returning players get free  Magicite x1000
* Current players will get  Ability Ticket x50
* A special Welcome Back Free Greater Summon available August 21-25 will contain 7 great cards for folks, for free! The more players that return, the better the cards! And like all Greater Summons, there's a chance to get a Supreme Card or an Ultimate Hero Job.
* A special set of Free Daily Single Summons. Once per day starting August 21, all players can summon one extra Ability Card at no cost. The more players that return, the more days the Summons are offered!

* The initial top goal was 50,000 returning players, but the community had already passed this number by Aug 5. So on Aug 7 Square Enix added an extra tier on the end with 2 Summon Tickets for 150,000 returning players, same deadline.
* Current players can check the number of new/returning players at the Tally Board, set up next to Meia in the Ring of Braves.

## Game Balance Changes

Game Updates are coming! With over 2300 Ability Cards now in play, changes need to be made to the game engine. To accomplish this, **there will be a game app update** sometime during the month. When this hits, the game will be shut down for a few hours, and ALL players MUST update to the new app version. Once complete, new changes will include:

### VIP Mode

Players that purchase at least 1500  Magicite (with real money!) will gain **VIP Mode** for 30 days after the purchase. This offers extra bonuses, similar to the Mobius Gift Box:

* Improved Extra Skill Unlocks -- stacking with everything else!
* Skillseed gathering gets an EXTRA 30% boost after each battle.
* Custom skills will cost 0 Skillseeds to install. Save up to 99,999 Skillseeds on every Custom Skill you want to use!
* The Auto-Enhance cards get more XP as you battle through Palamecia.
* Weapon Boost gets an increase of an additional minute. So under normal conditions, one point of stamina used for battle reduces your Weapon Boost by 4 minutes instead of 3. In Bahamut Lagoon this increases to 6 minutes per stamina point! Great for boosting your weapons up to ★5!

### Material Cards stack

Material cards, like the  Adaman Shell★2 or the  Wind Pneuma★4 or the  Fire Fractal★4, will be stacked in your inventory, so they only take up one slot for each material. No more pages upon pages of materials filling your Card Bank! Hundreds of extra slots freed up for Ability Cards!

### Summon Menu is splitting

The Shop menu's "Summon Cards" screen will get two tabs on it for summoning:

* **Standard Summons** will have the Single Card Summon, Cactuar Summons, and the New Player Summons.
* **Campaign Summons** will have the regular Boosted Greater Summon, event-based Greater Summons, and the occasional Limited Revival Greater Summons.

### Supreme Card Summon for Newcomers

Newcomers are likely to have a disadvantage compared to veteran players who have been at this for up to two years! This is especially bad as more content is being designed that assumes players have Supreme Cards and Ultimate Heroes. The solution: make it easy for new players to get ahold of them!

New Players in Mobius Final Fantasy who purchase 12,000  Magicite within the first 37 days will receive two  Supreme Tickets. These can be used in the new summons to get one Ultimate Hero Job card, and one Supreme Job Card. They will also receive  Ability Ticket x240 to recruit and upgrade other cards from the Ability Shop to fill out their initial roster.

Veteran players aren't being left entirely out. Between the App upgrade date and September 1, **existing players may take advantage of this offer**, and use them to obtain a Supreme Card and an Ultimate Hero that they don't already have. (If a player has all of the Supremes or Ultimate Heroes already, then they'll get a  Growstar instead.)

Players have 30 days to exchange their Supreme Tickets for cards. After that, the Tickets turn into  Growstars.

### Phantasmic Loop: Endless War update

Phantasmic Loop: Endless War is getting remade as Phantasmic Loop: Endless War 2 on August 6, and will have a newer, even tougher set of boss fiends in it! As part of the change, the Profile banner showing how many loops you've completed will reset back to 0. (sorry, folks!) On the positive side, it means you can gather all of the First Clear prizes again. (get to it if you want the prizes from Loop 1 before it goes away!)

### Other card adjustments

* Supreme Card Duncan: FFVI (Card) gets some minor changes to his Ability:
	+ Name change from "Martial Arts" to "Martial Combat"
	+ The ability will also now randomly generate 1 element orb.
* Ghirofelgo: FFVII (Card) and Guard Hound - Light (Card) change their ability from *Massive Saintga* to Massive Shinega.
* Many of the older jobs get an increase in their Ultimate ability's magic power.

### Ability Cards removed from the Shop

Roughly 100 Ability Cards were removed from the Summons lineup starting Aug 1, but are still available from the Ability Shop.

However, the "Dragon Quest Cards" will be removed from the Ability Shop as well, in early September, **making them permanently unavailable if you don't already have them**. Get them now while you still can!

* Legendary Dragon
* Legendary Killing Machine
* Legendary Hargon
* Legendary Mimic
* Legendary Belial
* Legendary Golem
* Legendary Troll
* Legendary Dragonlord
* Legendary Powie Yowie
* Legendary Mummy Boy
* Legendary Treeface
* Legendary Ghost
