Since the opportunity rose, I thought I'd test the accuracy of the damage calc a bit further. With 10 Def, since so far we've been playing around with 8 Def.

These were fiddled with manually separately to see just how accurate or inaccurate the calc can be:
Hercules: 423k burst (Soul bursts aren't really supported by the calc, but my best guess with a lot of fiddling would be 395k, 93% acc).
Ares: 778k burst (expected: 764k, 98% acc)
Yamaraja: 536k burst (expected: 492k, 91% acc)
Amaterasu: 495k burst (expected: 477k, 96% acc)
Heph: 384k burst (expected: 365k, 95% acc)
Aside from Yamaraja, all of them were within very acceptable calculation range.

Without fiddling manually for each Hime, the calc says 400k burst per SSR before buffs, and factoring in buffs, 465k per SSR (86% acc). Full burst was 4514k (expected 4000k 88% acc). Can't be particularly accurate on Full bursts when the calc doesn't demand separate information on each Hime, so all the inaccuracies pile up.

The calc does downplay burst damage it seems, most likely due to missing base stats from preferred weapons and same-element Eidolons. A quick test didn't exactly make much of a difference though, with Amaterasu's expected burst increased from 477k -> 480k (96% -> 97% acc). Damage range is always a thing, so 100% accuracy is impossible.

(I am also fully aware the my Fire Grid is... well, let's put it optimistically and say that it has a lot of potential to improve. There's only a few SSRs as Fire events have been quite scarce. Upgrading Fire Herc Axe hasn't really been a priority, and I forgot that it's the only Grid with a pure Defender weapon. There simply hasn't been a single Assault/Defender Fire weapon yet, and some HP is really good to have.)

What exactly has been done already?

Also, isn't this an interesting topic. What is enough, and what isn't enough?

Is it enough to farm all Daily and Weekly rewards?
Is it enough to farm all SSRs and side-dish goodies from all events?
Is it enough to farm AQ every day?
Is it enough to spend every single AP and BP ~16 hours a day?
Is it enough to upgrade all your Grids to slvl20?

Because, you know. I've been doing all of that for... 14 months now? If that's not enough, then what is missing?
