CuddleCryptid posted:Cool, thank you. I'm so starved for rupees alongside everyone else that I thought about getting a second piece of cold weather clothing, stopped in the shop, and then ran off to pick some more hot peppers. 500 rupees for a shirt, gently caress that. The useless cosplay armor also sell for 600 a pop. I bought the Rito headpiece for the nice hair braids, and combined with the starter warm pants I haven't had cold issues all game. Another good source of easyish rupees I didn't realize till later on are the monster hit quests given from the emergency shelter in lookout town. If you're lucky you may have already killed some of them and the guy will just give you the 100 rupees just for talking to him. Lastly regarding gems, there are several Blessing shrines that have a chest with a diamond or other gem. If you just hated smashing ore for some reason, you could still get a round of gems after each bloody moon. Don't be afraid to sell poo poo for rupees when you want em. That expensive armor will do you a lot more good now than it will later when you have more rupees than you can spend and only want truffles and Hinox guts.

Phenotype posted:I bought the hat to go along with the pants from the newbie island! Part of the trick is getting over your hoarder tendencies -- while you don't get many rupees, you do get absolute fucktons of monster bits and other materials that you can sell for cash as long as you can bear with only having 25 Bokoblin Fangs instead of 50. Although fuckin A, 1000 rupees for the pants is way too steep. I picked up the glowy pants from Kakariko too (but man, these are much more silly-looking than I thought they'd be, gotta find a better pair of pants for general wear.) there's one in the depths in a direction robbie points you in in the first quest, at the location that breadcrumb trail ends at.

P.s. if you are hunting Hinox guts, maybe anecdotal luck, but Hinox's I hadn't killed before seemed to drop a guts whereas ones I had it seemed like a low rate loot drop. Re-killed 5 Hinox last night and got 1 guts. Killed 4 new ones and got four guts.

Electric Phantasm posted:Oh poo poo is this actually a thing? I might have to stop killing them... yeah it seems to work like in BoTW where killing promoted enemies and minibosses increments an invisible counter that, after certain thresholds, triggers enemies to be replaced with their higher-level variants. fwiw I don't think you really have to worry too much about falling behind the scaling because of how directly monster parts influence your strength in TOTK.

CuddleCryptid posted:How many gems should I be reasonably holding on to? I need cash but I don't want to end up selling all the gems I can reasonably get without finding far flung caves to replenish them. In Goron Town you meet a lady who will pay 10% more for a group of 10 of a gem. She cycles what she is buying between different gem types, and as far as I can tell it only changes when you sell to her. If you don’t need cash immediately I’d suggest holding out to sell groups of 10 to her.

RandolphCarter posted:Can someone repost the video of this? I can’t get this right and need to rewatch it. I ended up just putting two fans down side by side and rotating the control panel 45 degrees between them, the only real trick is ensuring the panel itself is actually in line with the first fan and that both fans are connected in the same spot in the same way on their side. It'll be 10+ minutes of being thrown around wildly but of all the setups I found this one easiest because there's only one fiddly part. I'll try to find a video of someone doing it how I did if somebody else doesn't first

Republicans posted:Pretty fun glitch to get the prologue master sword into the main game. Yeah I was pretty behind in the thread and jumped forward to look and am surprised no one else is talking about this stuff. Was there a "no glitching talk" rule I missed? Having a moderate damage weapon which doesn't break and multiple near infinite durability shields really takes a lot of anxiety out of the game for me and lets me charge into enemies and smash without hoping I don't break more things than I pick up.

Phenotype posted:I'm scared to look up anything story-related, though, so can someone please give me a pointer? Where should I go for just some basic info on Spooky Dave and what he's doing? Do the geoglyphs. If you want to do them in chronological order, follow Impa to where she said she was going after the one you did earlier. (You should have a quest that tells you, if you don't remember.) You can also get some hints about Zelda by doing the newspaper quests, that start at what used to be the old Rito stable. MiracleFlare posted:Seconding that doing tears out of order or even just too many at once spoil some major things you don't get to for a while following other main quests. I remember someone here suggesting you should do 2-3 per phenomena and uh that's really not the best idea because Tear #7 spoils something you wouldn't find out until after dealing with the phenomena and the stuff right after it. I really don't think "spoiling" is the right term. There're two main ways of learning about what's going on, just because you do one before the other doesn't spoil the latter. Doing the geoglyphs out of order is about as close to spoiling gets for those that don't like stories told out of order (which I think if they had Impa always at the first one you come across so she can point you to where you can find the order would have helped), but I still think it works fine given what's going on. Maybe it's because I didn't do them (majorly) out of order that I don't find them that bad, and actually really enjoyed the process? Khanstant posted:The stealth up is often more a hindrance anyway. Good for catching bugs but just makes enemy camps kind of annoying if there's some stragglers who never caught wind of the big fight going on and you have to go hunt em down instead of them rushing at you. Use your whistle. Even if it doesn't immediately pull them towards you, they'll hear you and pop up a question mark you can see through walls. Crawfish posted:Speaking of the compendium, has anyone found an NPC selling default pics for compendium entries? It's not the same guy. Robbie tells you how to get them when you first get the Sensor+ upgrade that lets you track using them.

CapnAndy posted:Nah, it just makes the game less fun. Like 90% of this game is finding stuff and putting it together, why would you want to duplicate infinite amounts of what you need and ruin the fun? Yeah, it's the same for the item duplication glitch. Half the people I see online are going "what rupee shortage, I just dupe gems all day" and you have to wonder why they're even playing.

What is the game kind of expecting or training me to do for combat? I'm still getting almost one shot in most over world encounters and just breaking entire weapons trying to kill one of the baddies.

You really should follow up with the first wave of NPCs you run into, like that guy above who can't figure out the Great Fairy needs to go talk to the bird dude who you meet post first tower unlock.

I got all the Poe armor so I'm just saving up Poes for the boss run and I'll buy the whole set of Legacy Weapons to fuse good parts to. I've also come to love 2 handers, which also means more room for rocket shield stock. No more awkward go to block a hit and JK I'm going to the moon lol. The charge attack on 2 handers is just so good at creaming bosses. I think flux construct are the ones I prefer to go at with a 1 hander because you often don't get time and space for the long shotput spin. Hinox are also like free loot bags, pop on attack armor and just charge with a spear or 2 hand sword and half the time they're dead as soon as the boss health bar shows up. Shout outs to the Hinox with wooden flammable ankle guards, death via rear end pokes while they do the on-fire jitterbug.

I don't think this is a spoiler but how the armor and heart mechanics work together. Nothing in the game can one shot you at full health, if it was going to kill you it leaves you with a partial heart. Being at full health is mandatory because if you aren't at full health hits will one shot you if it's more than all your hearts. At the start before you have good armor having a few hearts means things are still one shotting you but you are spending more mats getting back to full health so you are guaranteed two hits again. So basically spend light on stamina until you start getting high armor points for damage reduction before spending on hearts. Bit of a dumb mechanic how it works out.

ikanreed posted:All enemies drop fusable items that defeat themselves in a reasonable number of attacks. Yeah, I am finding myself with an overabundance of good weapons, especially now that I've got 13 or 14 inventory slots. I've got a giant stack of monster bits that add like 7 damage to anything I fuse them onto, and there are tons of sticks and crappy swords everywhere. I keep a rock smasher, an elemental wand or two from the wizrobes, and often a flamespitter fused weapon, and then I've got like ten good weapons or above-average base weapons to graft onto as needed. And then everything I kill drops more damaging monster bits and usually a few base weapons too.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Same but now it’s making me want to focus on building more cells because I want all the energy for all the flying. Good news then about how much easier exploring the Depths is with one! I'm still perfecting a ground vehicle with an emphasis on it being cheap to build, but in the process of doing so I've amassed a huge amount of zoanite lol. I only use the large for energy cells since the return on the smalls is so bad and they make building easier but that may have to change Khanstant posted:I got all the Poe armor so I'm just saving up Poes for the boss run and I'll buy the whole set of Legacy Weapons to fuse good parts to.

Last night I finally finished my roundabout tour of most of the northern half of Hyrule (it takes time when you get distracted by every Korok, shrine, tower, stable, and other weird thing you see on the way) and got back to Lookout Landing to finally take the first chasm quest so I could get my camera. (I also got to finally turn in the 20-odd shrine tokens and korok seeds I'd been carrying around that were doing me no good, which was also nice. Are there just not a lot of goddess statues, or am I bad at looking?) Once I was down there and had done that, I explored some more. I'd been down once before, when I went "oooh what's this weird hole with Gloom all around it" and jumped in, and that time I'd rescued some Poes, ridden a skeleton horse, and then found one particular enemy mining site and tried to challenge it, only to have my rear end handed to me like a dozen times before I gave it up as beating my head against a brick wall and teleported back to the surface. This time in my explorations, I found no skeleton horses, rescued some more Poes, got a fuckton of zoanite, and managed to find that exact same enemy camp in my wanderings (its layout and enemy composition had been burned into my brain). This time I clowned them all without much effort and felt very good about myself. I also killed two Stalnoxes. Robbie and whatsherface (Josah?) made noises about wanting to do more stuff but wouldn't give me a follow-up quest, though.

On how long the timeskip and how it affects ages, even within the same town it's a bit inconsistent. In Rito Village Tulin and all of Kass's daughters are now visibly older, but Molli is still using the small child model. Same with the Gerudo and stablehand kids, some got older while others stayed the same. If not for Mattison existing I would've estimated a 2-3 year timeskip with some characters not hitting their growth spurts yet. The real answer could just be that they prioritized characters people were more likely to remember and everyone else was just a crapshoot. I straight up forgot who Molli was and had to look it up (Harth's daughter).Onean posted:I really don't think "spoiling" is the right term.

Maybe it's because I didn't do them (majorly) out of order that I don't find them that bad, and actually really enjoyed the process? The problem is that the four main town questlines lean into the mystery of why Zelda keeps appearing in strange circumstances, sometimes siccing monsters on people. And again while it's a pretty flimsy mystery where the answer is easily guessed, it gets a little silly seeing characters working themselves up over it when you already know the truth.

Many things can hit you sufficiently hard that you will die from full health. See that time a white lynel hit me and I had 6 hearts and no armour upgrades. (That's not to say your advice is wrong, it's definitely a good understanding of the game!)

Then there are the stable questlines, which as far as I can figure out from where I am, frequently look like Zelda doing something evil but were actually her doing something good? So, presumably that was the real Zelda, and therefore must have happened before she disappeared, and were therefore obviously irrelevant to the search for her?

I'm kinda pissed off that all the jewelery head pieces put Links hair back in the drat pony tail. I like it let out and wanted just go round in the Archaic Set without having to be made of the softest, finest china. 20 hearts might as well be wishful thinking when silver mobs start showing up and your Defense is single digits.
