Brain In A Jar posted:As a new player, I think that people calling for an FFXIV-style gutting of the start of the game are probably seeing things a bit through jaded lenses. I've just completed the Lastra Forest dungeon, and honestly the pacing has been fine, apart from some self-inflicted dicking around to get area completion for places I wanted the 50% reward from. If you came to this game for the gameplay and you don't care about the story at all the pacing is "how long do I have to walk and press G until the next dungeon/setpiece" I was sick of slamming G on my very first character before I left the first continent. I paid so little attention to the story that you could have just given the whole game the power pass treatment and had Beatrice yapp at me between set pieces and the experience would have been the same. I will agree that it's nice that they make the quests easy to complete and not make you grind 50 mobs to drop 2 items, as well as having the side quests usually being on the main quest route so you're not going out of your way for them.

Abyss Raids give ok gold, you get more una tokens for ~4k/gold week, tradeskills are better gold, collectibles are better gold for now, and endless chaos lets you make 3k gold/hr for a few hours then it climbs down to as low as you want it to (ok this is unbound materials). I was doing the invasion treasure maps for a few thousand a week already, and that's t1.

You only have to do the story once though and you’ll never touch it again. There’s like 3 systems to level dudes that don’t involve touching the story.

As some people keep asking maybe we can put this in the OP the setting "Battle Effects Display" under Gameplay -> Controls and Display enables you to only include supportive effects of party members  And if youre an old goon and your eyes get tired after 10 hours of constant flashing, there is a photosensitivity mode that can be enabled in the accessibility section.

The one true slog is the 2nd awakening story like it’s not a bad story it’s just ungodly long and makes you go all over. It’s a decent prolog though imo

Can I do Harmony Island multiple times per day? I'm trying to get this god forsaken song so I don't have to do this again and I just realized it's RNG based but the other entries for harmony island on the event thingey show as "claimed" already.

The leveling and story stuff would honestly be way more bearable if you didn’t have to acknowledge each individual line of text before reading the next. You’d still have the poo poo where you have to go back and forth between 2 people that are like 5 feet apart, but that’d be fine if you could hit escape and gently caress off without reading any of it (or if they gave you all the text at once but some people like this style of dialogue I guess). e: I’d also appreciate if they included some or all of that dialogue in the quest log for the times when I mash G through it and miss the instructions and the quest log is all “draw the rest of the loving owl” Hefty fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Mar 12, 2022 |

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Once a day is the limit for getting rewards. Are we talking about the faire song one with the secret entrance? I'm pretty sure I knocked that one out in a day. It's not an adventure island. I need a song from an adventure island now, and that one is apparently once a day, but it might not even show up? I still don't actually understand how adventure islands work, I'll check the compass and it will just say there is no more for the day. Whoops, Harmony is the one I need, Lullaby is not daily limited.

Pro tip for this event. Buy the una skip ticked and use them on the ghost ship daily. You can actually only fight the ghost ship once a week but the daily pops up … well every day. You can get the ship in 15 days vs 15 weeks if you try and do it without the skip tickets. Might be one of the best uses for the tickets atm.

Just check the alarm setting page(click the cogwheel after you expand out the alarm tab thing in the top left corner). That will tell you what days thing spawns and what time while also being accurate. The compass has been busted for a while now. MarcusSA posted:Pro tip for this event.

As far as I can tell, there are three ships used primarily in the endgame. Estoque for all around use, Eibern's Wound for anything that has you going into the Dead Seas a lot and for ghost ship buff, and Astray for move fast.

Yeah they definitely broke something with his fight when they made those changes recently. He doesnt always have sandstorms going when he does his one hit move. If you dont over gear it enough to survive you're just boned

I got to T3 and realized its going to take a lot of effort to get high ilevel but have no real reason to go higher because getting to 1370 for argos is miserable i heard. You can run the abyssal dungeons at 1340. So I started selling all my honing mats on the market and I'm making a ton of gold from people trying to push to 1370. Going to exchange some of my gold into crystals and save up on that. As well as keep a good supply of gold until the rush is over and they changed honing rates or it drops in price and new content is out. I guess I can finally start working on an alt next. Its quite unfortunate all the cool classes I wanted to try isn't out yet (arcana, lance master, artist) but I am having fun with my scrapper alt so far.

I’ve only missed maybe one day of dailies since launch and I’m 1350 and I’ve been 1350 for a few days now because every single honing during that time has failed

I'd feel really dumb if they buffed upgrade rates right after I did it because the cost is insane. Up to 1355 isn't too bad if you use solar grace & solar blessing for 9->11 and optionally for 11->12. Not worth using unbound or buying on the market, but it is cost efficient if bought from maris at 750-800g per 95 crystals. There are lots of bad calculators & spreadsheets going around. Even maxroll's is very naive and doesn't seem to total things up or represent what "average" is correctly. Khorne fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Mar 13, 2022 |

I found the scorpion to be pretty tame compared to something like Alberhaustic. As a sorceress I can stand just outside of the aoe shockwave but close enough to counter the boss because it has a slow speed counter. The rest of the attacks are slow and telegraphed. I'm currently sitting at 1325 with +6? Next tier of upgrades is a 60% chance of success. I'm guessing 1340 is around +8? I guess I can push for 1340. But I'm probably stopping there if I do. I would rather just work on tripods and gems and make gold before pushing ilevel hard. Especially after finding out other versions of the game had a flat 20% higher chance of honing success and a lot of people seem to be whining right now. Who knows what amazon might do.

They're both pretty easy though. At least, they're hard to dodge everything while doing optimal dps but they have low enough hp & do low enough damage that you can mess up a bunch and kill them 4:50-6:30 pretty much every time.

If you have a pally with cleanse then igrex is trivial. None of his stuff does enough damage to matter. Scorp is at least annoying because you can get matched with people who don’t focus the adds and then you gotta dance around those AOEs

Nonetheless, the change will most likely happen given that KR/RU has them. The question is when. Will it be next few months? Next few years? I feel like the decision will be data driven to make the most amount of profit.
