I’m definitely flexing but I one tapped my way from 14 to 15 in tier2 and only failed twice on 13 to 14. I’m ready to get completely owned by RNG now that I’m in tier3.

When do honing rates drop from 100%, +6?

yeah, i am 1086 right now. i have been slowly creeping to 1100 the past two weeks - more because i haven't had a lot of time to dedicate beyond chaos dungeons, guardian raids, and dailies. it is pretty soul crushing from 1080 to 1100.

That's when I noticed the drop in T1, would make sense if it holds for future tiers too.

Hit 480 on my alt and officially declaring her my main now, Deathblade is so much more fragile than Artillerist was but it's also way more fun (as long as your inputs register, which isn't happening 100% for me yet). Still saving that third power pass for when I decide on another class, and/or Scouter or Spear Lady.

Looks like Harmony Island is showing up today if you still need the song. It says 1PM EST is the next time it's appearing but I'm worried about DST shenanigans meaning it's actually at noon or something.

It is actually at Noon EST and then again at 2PM.

It was supposed to be 11am and 1pm but its pushed back an hour each time. I can confirm they didn't fix the clocks because tooki island was at 9:50 EST today instead of the normal 8:50 its supposed to be at. I normally do my tooki daily during my morning waste of time work call!!

I've been waiting until I build up my collection of moon breaths before honing an item. So its slower, but at least I don't have to see the fail message and waste resources.

Is reset determined by the server? As in NA West reset is now 3 AM PDT while NA East is 3 AM EDT? Because having the daily chaos rift or boss spawn roll over by like 3 hours and counting towards the next day at reset time is some really dumb stuff.

Yeah, honestly depending on market prices I think it’s worth just buying & using moons breath off the market outright for going from 13-15. My halfass google probability search seemed to justify it cost-wise, and it’s definitely worth just not having to fail a bunch of 40-50% rolls.

Server reset time is currently 6am Eastern. Before DST it was 5am.

I confirmed this morning that on days that Field Bosses spawn, they keep spawning every hour until 6am. And since the boss actually spawns at like 6:03, you can do him and get rewards even if you did it earlier that reset. We weren’t sure if it would keep working when DST happened but it does.

I’d imagine chaos rifts do the same thing but haven’t confirmed. However if the new day also has chaos rifts and/or field bosses on the schedule then doing this would count towards your limit in the new day but if they aren’t on the schedule then you’re doubling the normal rewards.

Having it roll over by 5 hours is pretty good. It lets you catch events at 1am or something. It doesn't allow for double dipping unless you schedule your play in a kind of weird way.

It stays 100% until you hit level 6, then it drops to 60%. It's not gradual like it was in T2.

They've banned some high profile ones to discourage it. They've also hit people who have done small purchases and 500k-1m purchases so maybe they'll get banned.

They're taking a huge risk in a game with so much grind that swiping can't bypass.

Well he was 1370 last week and now has 2 alts in the as well. And I've put in more effort than he has and I'm stuck at 1367. I literally can't buy my way to 1370 through Amazon's store in a timely fashion which is further adding to the pipe. There are only so many harmony leapstones available.

I've put uhh... 500+ hours in according to steam and am also not 1370.

My view is that I'll build a big base, I'll get to 1370 hopefully next week, and they'll fix progression by the april update. Overall, argos is not a huge deal and it's something we will be running for a year or more after we get to it. In addition to a bunch of other raids and stuff.

On KR 25% of people can access hardest content, another 40% can access the content right before that. Those are crazy numbers that show NA release progression was a bit botched. The perceived rush to 1370 seems a bit misguided to me given everyone is going to hit 1370 etc and everyone is going to replace all of the gear from argos pretty quickly. They also tend to do catchup mechanics quite frequently.

There are big money sinks in endgame for people who are panicking over 1370 now. Rerolling for a 100% weapon is super expensive, rerolling gems is crazy silver intensive when you get 7,8,9,10 gems, and there's just a ton of stuff that's really expensive if you try to force it instead of finding a play pattern you enjoy & just rolling with it until you get there through inevitability.

I'm under the impression you know most of this already, but a lot of people in the thread probably don't.

Rng can be at play, sure. But he's admitted his purchasing habits, where he purchased from and how much he's bought. It's not hard to get to 1370 when you're buying leapstones from the AH in stacks of 100.

I've had luck on my side, I got my t3 weapon from 14 to 15 on one tap. I've also had 2 armor pieces go to 12 fails before succeeding from artisans energy.

I'm waiting to complete the same mission. There's an extremely simple minigame on the island but it only shows up on the weekend? I think? You get once chance that day and if you aren't lucky enough to get the song in the drop well better luck next week. They had one today which is weird because I thought it was only on the weekend.

Rng is far less of an issue at 14->15 t3 because you get significantly more samples than with something like a 60%. 10% is bad enough that succeeding on your 8th attempt is within the realm of "average". It's only if you fail the 8th that you're on the receiving end of bad luck. And if you fail there, what's another 6 failures to safe limit.

I have a Scrapper main that's going to be parked at i1325 for the foreseeable future and a Bard in T2 that's just slowly moving her way up but I don't know who else to play.
