There was a Gorn doff named poo poo, but they actually edited it to Xhit.

There's still lots of [poo poo] out there, even one on the exchange today.

My favorite doff is [Shitathon], i always buy them from people when i find them.

I want a piece of that action. I came out of a fleet of hermit grinders that were no help with anything. So this is with a build I sorted out through a lot of expensive trial and error. I didn't really get the Dual beam builds before I got Wiki access the other day. I'm kind of self conscious about playing with people in Dental who have a clue, since I don't know how bad I suck.



I have managed to pull off 19K DPS with this build (Once). It tends to run mostly between 10 and 15. This is just the last game I played while half asleep, and I cleaned out the log file so it's the only one I have to show.

Oh, for context...

Please don't let this get into pubbie hands, but I think we can firmly tie Xtern1ty and Dental together.



Also, if you see Gummo, please thank him. Due to his generosity, the Xtern1ty starbase now has TRIBBLES.

EDIT: Additionally: thanks again, Gummo (or should I say Dental Charity Hologram).

Neither, get it on Steam. Also it got better for a while now they seem to want to kill it off by increasing grind, devaluing farmed stuff, a horrible crafting system and soon the expansion that may or may not gently caress some people over completely.

Log in through Arc once to get the headwrap and then uninstall it.

The new crafting system isn't that bad once you get used to it. It's unobtrusive, it removed the crafting mats from the main inventory and it has an improved version of that overpowered rifle that was only available to collector's edition buyers.

They may introduce a new system which will temporarily unbalance the dark financial powers of our Wesley overlords. Dunno. Could happen. I expect it would take a quarter, tops, for total control to resume.

Haha, "ON ICE"! Also, that Hawk guy is one colossal piece of poo poo. He is always running his stupid cocksucker on ESD whenever I go there about something. I've trolled him a few times into spit-flecked rage.

Well I'm troubled by the fact that they're aiming to adopt more of the bullshit aspects of Neverwinter so the new systems could be made to be insanely grindy or just take a long rear end time to update your poo poo or get new poo poo unless you have a lot of money to burn.

Yeah it's not really a question that item upgrading will be a tedious grindy dil sink. If anything, having ship upgrading being a flat zen cost is almost a blessing.

Except you could run two crafting research task from the same discipline unlike in sto. Or so I recall being said here before.

I like the crafting system a lot to be honest. during the crafting weekend i spent i think 750k dil finishing fast tracking torpedos to lv 15.

I've crafted 4 of the unique torps a day since then, and am about a third of the way between lv 19 and lv 20 on it. I get URs about 40% of the time using green catalysts, and make between 20-30m profit each time a UR is made, and either break even or profit a mil or two on every VR. Today's batch is 3 URs and 1 VR, so looking at 60m+ profit just for today's crafting. I think the dil I sunk into fast tracking it was worth about 150m if exchanged for zen and sold for ec.

It has been very sustainable, has been a great investment and a good profit engine during the times of turmoil accompanying the Door Rising announcement.

I dont know if it would be sustainable in other crafting schools, but from the competition on the exchange for the unique torps, i have trouble believing more than 2 other people craft torps on a regular basis.

The dice for crafting are rolled before the item completes (I guess as an incentive for you to spend dil to hurry it up?).

So the goon channel chat got talking about Plasmonic Leech a bit ago. On a whim I got 5 Tal Shiar boxes (had 5 keys stashed). Got 4 Doff packs... and a loving Plasmonic Leech box. :stonkhat: :wtc:

Now I'm torn on whether to keep it for an alt or cash it out to make up for the fact that Voth Bastion boxes have dropped 25M in the last week, as I'm trying to get a Recluse.

Oh yeah FrostyJones, I have all the bits for a TR gun made up. Just need to get them to you at some point. Also, can you make any other Lv 15 items ? I'd love to get a Sci and Engy console at some point.

I can do the sci console, material list is a few pages back in one of my posts. I am on holiday on a lovely laptop in Singapore at the moment though so I'm not on as much right now, but should be back to my cheerful British self in about a week. That being said if you mail me the mats I can probably churn one out but it'll take around a day from when I pick stuff up to get it cooking.
