Pibbs deserves tons of praise for being a hoarder since he was sitting on the exact song I needed to get in :worship:

Is it really hoarding when I desperately try to give this stuff away?

Hoarding is right though. I am amazed that we hoarded vinegars for a whole loving year and in the few days this expansion has been up we've burned thru most of them for quests. So hoarding is good.

As always if you are running instances or whatever and get weird cooking or blacksmith mats send to koop. We hoard that stuff and actually use it within guild.

So no.

Gold points can give you gear on par with school contribution. You can get those easily, but it can be somewhat time consuming. Still, it could fill you out?

You could also run a script to deliver carts, which gives gold points. ChinaGame (our cart runner) always has too many gold points--too bad the stuff is bound.

So is script stealing just broken now or? I stole two Tang scripts last night to try and get a start on replacing Following but I got nothing at the turn in, and it seems like this was happening a lot to the other people in the guild as well.

You probably just got one vagrant cert. it's super bullshit that there is not a 100% script rate from stealing scripts. I mean one vagrant cert is worth 3k cultivation to self recollection. That's a really poo poo reward especially since they made it harder with the npcs. They basically completely hosed the economy with the expansion since the only people who can reliably make money now are the bots.

Is that what that RE is now or did I get something else?

I got the suicidal girl in Suzhou RE yesterday and logged out when I couldn't make it up the drat mountain behind Peach Blossom Pool to her after confirming her monkey is in fact super dead.

I have no problems with goon price to you for said invite, because I don't want to leave beggars. Just holler next time you see koop online when you are and we'll make the trade.

That RE was probably the weirdest cut scene yet for me in AoW. If you have ever seen the alternate ending for Coup de Torchon, we are talking that level of weird--even down to being a grainy black and white "dream" sequence of her dancing with her monkey.

Quests for Peach's daily tasks are pretty easy. The main one has 11 parts and you run it twice daily and it's just a lot of running around the island with occasionally leaving to head tp other cities for items. And sometimes you kill NPCs from schools that have "snuck" onto the island.

Then there's a daily quest for your "Genius" points which seem to be traded mostly for masks and probably for the Peach array and random skills. This quest has you fight an NPC that has about 125,000 HP but has no yellow armor so I stunlock her to death or else her DPS is stupid high and I would just die. The way things are worded you can team up to fight her but nobody knows how.

The other quest to get more genius points is "Group Sparing" (of course this is typod in game). An NPC can be spawned at certain times and people are supposed to show up to kill it. However there are only 8 of us so far in Peach and the guy heals like a motherfucker so we can't kill him. Instead whoever is tanking plays the Stay Alive game while everyone does damage to try and get higher on the leaderboard since rankings are damage based. Rank 1 nets you 10 genius points, 2 and 3 give you 9, and 4 and 5 seems to net you 8. No clue how far down it scales.

There's also a stack of locked daily quests until I rank up, including the now infamous Shark Riding that you can't do until you get rank 4 (there's only 4 ranks in all).

Also, the flute counts as a sword so sword lores disguise it. However, this also applies to the flute set so I've been running around playing an umbrella :v:

It does. I'm almost done with my 64 tier so currently I only have +38 from manuals alongside over 100 damage from my flute. Also, the rage move at all tiers doesn't show your damage at all :iiam: and the scaling of brawn and breath on the sert is pretty low. However, just having the charge move at level 3 does 631 damage so they just flat out gave the set more damage instead. Really can't wait to have the set to 8.

OK so, fair warning to any future shens. at identity 2, you'll get a debuff on you. this debuff lasts 12 hours and reapplies itself until you hit 3rd. HOWEVER, in a bizarre set of circumstances involving you dying around the time it reapplies, it is possible for the game to COMPLETELY gently caress UP and not give it a timer, leaving it permanently applied even past the 2nd identity, which ends up with you having to betray. Just a heads up.

If you get return pills then you basically get a free 750k cult every day to level your first to third school internals.

Since Im jianghuing up they arent useful for me to raise my base level. Instead I use them to unlock meridians which is pretty cheap now days. Ive gotten Wudang, Yangmen, Wanderers and Beggars first meridian books/scripts for a few hundred liang total. I can get Beggars 2 pretty cheap too when I need to.

e-Thats not counting the whole recover strength thing. Im planning on pigging out when I get POMFs second identity.
