So I can log in to my old many years dormant secret world account but can't see a way to link it to a secret world legends one. I was told I should just be able to log in with my old info on the legends site but no deal.

Do I just make a new legends account and then is there an option to link?

Is it even worth it? I hardly got any cosmetics on my old account that I remember, I think I just about finished Egypt back then.

It's very... earthy.

Is that per account or one character redemption only?

we're all mad here

Are there any build planners (or even an updated wiki) to show all the new weapon trees? I had a lovely Blood/Fist build in TSW that could faceroll Tokyo and picked that combination for my SWL character, but I have no idea if the build could be recreated or not. It looks like there's a higher-tier weapon tree you unlock by getting the "capstone" buff from your current tree... is there a way to view it? The only button I saw that looked relevant just brought up an explanatory video when I clicked on it.

e: Is slotting passives from other trees no longer a thing or is it just impractical due to SP gain rates?

It's definitely worth it for getting all the weapons and uniform sets associated with the classes for free.

No build planner that I've seen so far, unfortunately. As for your other questions, there aren't higher tiers of weapon trees after capstones (they just unlock outfits and passive stat boosts), so what you see is what you get. Regarding passives, they're all pretty much weapon-specific now, and there's not a lot of synergy between weapons, so mostly you just slot whatever improves your best primary weapon abilities. On average, builds don't slot more than one active and one passive from their secondary weapon, but you can go up to two of each depending (Fixed Game Pistol builds, AR secondary builds that don't want to have to deal with grenades, etc.)

Is this TSW update Steam's downloading that says it's SWL actually making my good janky TSW into bad janky SWL, or is it just a regular update.

Bad janky SWL. If you owned TSW on Steam, it's SWL now. Think it autolinks your Funcom account to Steam as well, but you can one-time-undo that and keep playing through the Funcom launcher AFAIK.

It listed weird. Had the title and image, but as far as any other information it looked more like it was a placeholder listing that ended up getting pulled.

Nah they all spoke up and changed reviews back when it got changed to Legends in the Steam listing. They've long since made their opinion known and switched or just quit.

I'm proud of only dying once, when everything seemed to happen at the same time and I got bounced from one bad zone into another and so on. I'm running shotgun/rifle so most of the time I'm healing any incidental damage while my shotgun energy refills and if things get really bad I can simply back up and deal with it.

Did everybody get the same stuff (machine hands/boots) out of the first cache, or is it simply that with X items and no suplicates it's gonna take 10 days to get em all no matter the order?

I got the gloves and boots too. From what I could figure from the site, it's 10 days of event boxes to get everything for the event, and after that it just gives shards. You can miss a day and still not lose out on the box rewards. I'm going to check in a few to see if all the event lore's still all in Agartha.

I did hear someone in chat say that for each birdkill achievement, there's another wardrobe unlock. Is this true or were they just rambling?

I can't imagine it's true, it costs 150k marks to buy out the vendor as it is.

You get all the outfits, too; so might as well go with the class that'll save you from having to buy a weapon.
