There's a "training area" option that unlocks later on that covers gems, engravings, faceting and honing that also gives a cosmetic headpiece for completing, so that's probably worth reviewing.

Not wanting to end my abyssal dungeon run with a terrible loss earlier today before the reset. I decided to give it another shot. Ended up in a 4 man premade with 4 randoms. The premade had 3 people who had done the dungeon before and was carrying one of their friends who was new. Us 4 were there to fill the roster. After a couple of wipes to people messing up mechanics, we managed to kill the boss! Walked away with a lot of goodies that ended up selling for a lot of gold. These engraving books sell for 500-700g each. Now do I want to do it again next reset with all the struggling for a bit of gold? Yes I''ll do it again. On another note the yellow crafted gear from abyssal dungeons is a pretty nice upgrade lookwise from the blue and purple ones.   We got the scarf back. Also the new accessories managed to boost my igniter rank up to 15 and now I have level 3.  It's too bad all my stones and accessories will be replaced in T3 so I have to do this all over again. But at the rate of my honing, it'll probably be a couple of weeks since I only get 1 upgrade a day with the amount of failures.

I had to give up on pugging Yoho. I just can't find a group that can do it. And everything in the party finder is a carry for gold payment. So I killed the turtle. Yoho is only killable with a guild group, apparently.

I vastly prefer combat readiness for most group content because it lets you focus on the 3 most important jobs you have as a gunlancer: 1) Countering any counterable ability - This is a massive damage increase for your group and reduces the damage they take by causing the boss to have downtime. You can skip entire mechanics on harder bosses 2) Meeting any stagger check - You can do 50-75% of almost every stagger check. Being able to give zero fucks about what the boss is doing while stopping these is very important 3) Consistently moving the stagger bar - This + #1 ensure that the boss has the most uptime of extra damage taken + most downtime of abilities It's good to do as much damage as possible while doing the above but on a lot of bosses getting consistent counters will provide more value to the party and make the encounter end quicker than if you did 50% more damage.

We were never in danger of dying, constantly pumping out max damage. We killed it with 59 seconds left. My one attempt on the next boss with a group of randoms has made me think I’m done with guardian raids for a while.

I've fought Yoho a couple times and really didn't find it anywhere near as bad as some of the other fights. Maybe it's because I'm a (good) bard and everyone's shielded most of the time but the only real fucker of that fight for me was the fireballs that come from the sky because if you get hit by one you're basically stunlocked into getting hit by a whole bunch of them.

I did Yoho in matchmaking last night and we killed it, but it was real lucky. I saw one other person take the buff from the fire breath/orbs and we still ended with one mayhem warrior with a sliver of health. I also did the spooky castle abyssals. Used party finder for these though and got two groups that were actually communicating. The pattern for T1 abyss dungeons seems to be that the first one is fun with interesting mechanics, and the second one is the absolute opposite of fun. gently caress those magic boulders. I know I’m supposed to get the boss hit by the red meteor thing, but I’m constantly knocked backed and slowed. The first time she did it, we ended the phase pretty quick. Idk if the rocks get faster the second time or what but it took foreeeeeever. We kept missing her by just a bit. The point the light beam at someone thing is so loving finicky too, even when everyone understands what they need to do. We kept going too far and then too close and oops out of time. Used up almost all my whirlwind bombs too 😠

I really recommend setting your cards with elemental/fire dmg resistance for Yoko, you can get around 15-20% assuming it does stack so the fight was a lot easier.

Abyss Seto is maybe the best fight in the game I’ve seen. Like a dozen significant attack patterns that you kinda need to know but only one or two that will straight gently caress your team. Goofy as poo poo. Also after the bullshit at around 2-3 healthbars there’s a good chance the 1-2 people left standing when half the team screws it up can muscle through the last of him while everyone else cheers them on Good fight

Some quick notes as someone had once asked where are some good places to life skill leveling. I've found 3 islands that seem to fit the bill in terms of normal life skill work that isn't stronghold specific locks. Two are a bit competitive though so keep that in mind. Hunting: Crescent Isle - bunnies about and the only actual aggressive mob are the constructs. The crabs and turtles are red, but won't react to you Relic: Golden Wave Island - No mobs, so you can just run around with the scanner going. However, it feels like there are only a couple of spawn spots, so this won't be an efficient use of your time perhaps Mining, Foraging, and Logging: Lullaby Island - If you haven't been here yet, you will soon get to know this island as it is where the quest to get forest minuet is found and played out. Get your pirate coins up for Song of Resonance at Peyto and then get to know this island and its event happening every other hour. Like the others, there are no mobs which is surprising considering the density here. You do not need either song for gathering I should add. Just that forest minuet has a use on the world map along with resonance so worth getting them done while here skilling. Fishing: I feel like this is one where commenting is silly as any port has a fishing spot that'll be carefree anyway. JuffoWup fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Mar 3, 2022 |

If you play at prime-time find somewhere else. The island literally can't support more than 1 person relic hunting at a time. Its decent however if you are the only person there and get a good loop going.

I've started to run out of potions and wanted to give this tip to anyone gathering for themselves to craft them. The level 10 flowers (exquisite x) do on average give substantially more flowers per energy than the basic ones, so if you're doing Lullaby Island for all three focus only on the high tier ones. I'm going to spend some time today searching for a farming location that has a majority level 10 since the T2 main continents seem to have majority level 20 instead.

Whatever you're going to craft, you're better off selling your mats on the AH and buying blue crystals and buying chests of potions from Mari.

ETA: To be clear, if it were 2000 gold per 100 blue crystals, the cost per blue pot would be 10g. The crafting cost for a blue pot is like 14g right now. M.

I don't want to turn this game into a spreadsheet simulator, but I did find this tool to help calculate whether to buy things off the market or through Mari's shop. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hK36txbZBqMDfL5BTrCOKdLW6iWSGRTJeauYvgIWnOI/edit#gid=1430910144 Make a copy and save that copy and enter in the prices for your server. I might take some time to figure out how to add in the relative costs for potion crafting as well although it'd be a while.

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/march-3-2022-update I've only seen the T1/T2 parts of these changes but I like them. Should be much less instances of "the random player in your group can't do mechanics and you wipe 30 seconds into every fight" while things still being challenging if you're doing them around ilevel

Disappointed that green HP pots still aren't marketable but the T1/T2 changes are great for alt grinding. There needs to be a change on the reset vote position since having it pop up in the middle of the screen interrupts combat pretty significantly and there's often that 1 person who just wants to give up every time something small goes wrong.

I'm liking the patch notes. It makes things much more lenient. Updated the Phantom Legion King Illusion Sword summon attack pattern. As the swords follow the players, if a player receives two stacks they will incur damage and upon reaching three stacks, they will die. Like for this one. Two swords doesn't wipe the group. You're allowed a little bit of mistake. This also gives you more time to stagger the boss if you're lacking and eat two swords. Changed Tytalos’ attack that collects sand energy and explodes from a wipe mechanic to a high-damage attack. Or that one where its not an instant wipe. It was impossible to matchmake this boss because everyone kept dying. I ended up having to solo it. Decreased the amount of damage required for the Stagger phase when Ephernia appears in Stage 3 of Hildebrandt Palace. Yes please! This was the boss I had the most issue on because the stagger check was so strict in a matchmaking group. Everything else was fair.

I added some additional rows to the spreadsheet for potions compared to Mari's shop on my own copy. On Rohendal, this ends up being about 150% more efficient for green, 200% more efficient for blue, and about 165% more efficient for purple at current market prices for flowers and gold->crystal exchange. 150% more efficient means 2.5x the green potions for the gold as opposed to crafting them myself so definitely looks like I'll be doing that.

I was ready to be sad about the T1/T2 nerfs, but I agree with every single patch note. Totally fair to change most one-shots to 'heavy damage' instead, and make a bunch of things clearer and less "react within a second or die".

FYI gold has been inflating and will only continue to inflate at kinda insane rates so those that have been selling all their mats non-stop without re-investing the gold or buying crystals when they were cheaper may at the end of the day be sitting on a stockpile that just dwindles to worthlessness. Use your gold now to re-invest or get crystals, don't just hoard it.

At least so far most of the matchmaking/partyfinder experience for me has been 1/2 good players carrying 2/3 subpar players (sometimes I'm the bad player) so making it less obnoxious for those good players is a positive.

Use your gold now to re-invest or get crystals, don't just hoard it. I've been converting all my gold except for around 1000 on me to keep for various expenditures at the end of every day and also put up a single well below market rate crystal exchange just in case the prices plummet while I'm sleeping. I've only got around 2.4k purple crystals so far but hopefully that should be good for a while. I do plan on spending these primarily on cosmetics though, I'm fine with taking it slow in progression.

1000 is cutting it pretty close for Abyssal gold claims and Stronghold Lab research though. Unless you know how much you're going to make off daily Chaos ofc. I guess it can be made up by alt runs though.
