I'm taking my time to play through Grasp of Avarice to learn the mechanics of the dungeon. It took me about a dozen tries but I finally got through the ogre boss. :woop:

I play as a hunter and decided on a void build for invis with Null Composure LR and Retrofit Escapade MG heavy load out. It took me about five phases but probably could knock that down to four

That sparrow portion seems like a slog cuz my sparrow keeps dying :argh:

Thank you for reading my D2 diary.

That sparrow part always gets me :smith:.

Sparrow part is much easier with the exotic sparrow from the monument to lost lights - not only is it slightly faster, but it also reduces aggro range from enemies.

Also hop off and resummon if it’s smoking, there’s no cooldown on a new sparrow if you hop off voluntarily., but getting yours blown up will put resummoning on a cooldown. Happy to teach routes or strats but if you want to learn yourself that’s cool too.

Also equip Riskrunner. The damage resistance buff applies to your Sparrow if you happen to get dinged.

I got really excited for this but then I saw I need spoils of conquest tokens to purchase it :(

yep. so much going on in the screen that I forget to check if my sparrow if smoking. I want to get some practice and learn the routes myself before I reach out for help. I probably will ask for a LFG sometime to get through the final boss someday

You can farm those solo from the Vow of the Disciple secret chest in the first area. Easy 15 a week if you have three characters.

If you get a post-Templar checkpoint, which I think there's bots for, you can get all four chests for 20 spoils from Vault. 60 spoils a week.

Re: sparrow section

There are a few good videos of the route to take so you get the time boosts to hitting the next mine and avoid enemy fire. I was hopping off my sparrow at specific parts just to avoid any enemy rng bs because every run was RNG bullshit on whether or not I got dead immediately or not. Reduced cooldown is an excellent sparrow perk as well that can save a run, I don't have AOT so lol it was pretty clutch to have that at least.

You can hit VoG opening and 1st secret chest solo for 10 spoils a character and it's a fun little piece of gameplay. Activate the plates and either murder the minotaurs or bait them to follow you into a corner and just kite them. They are the only things that deactivate plates, you can just ignore everything else.

Alternatively, have a friend and just swap chars

Esoterickk has great videos on how to get solo chests, the easiest two are DSC and VoD.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWS6-a8jcOM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyoZ4zU6tlA

Some of the others are weird and rely on glitching geometry, but you can do the first chest in VoD relatively easily, and the first chest in DSC if you memorise the route and are good with a sparrow. 5 spoils per run per character = 30 spoils a week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udLO2H27j58

Unless you have a thing preventing you raiding with others though it's much, much quicker to get goons from discord to run you through some raids which will get you silly amounts of spoils.


neutral milf hotel posted:

You can get the first 2 chests in VoG (entryway and 1st secret chest) fairly easily if you look for listings in the LFG app that are looking for "1st 2 chests" (1st 3 also has templar but that requires effort and doesn't give spoils) for another 45 spoils.

The entryway will give you a taste for raiding with others without having to worry too much about co-ordination or difficult mechanics (just pick a plate and defend it 'til the door opens).

The hidden chest is pretty easy to find too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt5ZRFl0GNc

After that, if you find a 3 chest listing on LFG, the templar requires a bit more co-ordination (make sure there are 2 people on left, middle and right, and stop vex reaching the constructs) but ultimately still fairly straightforward - it just won't give you spoils if that's all you're after.

E: you won't get loot from hidden chests until you complete at least 1 encounter legit, but you will get spoils even if you've never finished an encounter.

There are secret chests in Grasp as well, by the way.

Am I going to be annoying and post this again? Yes. It doesn't drop spoils, but it CAN AND DOES drop red frames of the Last Wish guns whether or not you've ever cleared a single encounter. Armor too!

step 1: buy forsaken (or the forsaken content pack, or whatever it's called now)
step 2: load up last wish
step 3: go to the wish wall

step 4: punch this poo poo in (don't use an explosive payload gun, it'll mess it up). to minimize how tedious this is use the biggest mag primary you have because you will be reloading a LOT. the pictures will not change any faster than about once a second.



step 5: stand in the circle and warp whistle to the encounter
step 6: open da door and shoot da thralls!!

she'll spawn waves until "Shuro Chi's Song" hits the 2:30 mark. you'll get ~65 kills per run but i've gotten over 80 when grinding catas for stuff like prospector and colony. speaking of which this is also good for grinding heavy catalysts in particular bc you can rally for ammo before each run. when you run out of adds just kill yourself (stand on one of the plates near the boss or jump off an edge)

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

With some mildly irritating platforming, you can backtrack to the secret chest for no-questions-asked raid loot! The only things you can't get are the curated rolls, 1kV, and ship/sparrow/shell. One chest per weekly reset per character!

Okay, after a bit of looking, SpoilsXpress#1885 seems to be the bot to go to for the post-Templar VoG checkpoints. 20 easy spoils, 60 per week. Bring Strand to grapple back up to the top.

Using Jotunn in Trials until someone else gets mad and switches to it too is a lot funnier than it should be

e: Dear god AOT needs a lot of spoils. I have 60 :negative:

Is the Refurbished Black Armory shader not in the game anymore? I don't have it in my collections, but one of my weapons in the vault had it. I dismantled it - and didn't get the shader :negative:

I have a weird bug (maybe? ) going on

So I have marked down as having 3/4 of the chests to unlock that triumph for finding weekly chests in Savanthun's Spire, but I've only got the triumphs for one and two.

When I go to chest #3, the one that is down a hall to the right of the big swinging bells after the first encounter, that door is always blocked. When I go for #4, the one under the elevators during the traversal part, the deepsight thing isnt there to activate. I'd like to get the Haruspex title but this is confusing and annoying me, anyone know what I am doing wrong or need to do to fix this?

It's a weekly thing, just wait until reset. They're all not active at once.

Both, really. The shard was lodged somewhere vital, and she no longer had paracausal powers to shrug off injuries once Mara removed the worm. She bled out like any normal person would if a giant rock shard got driven through their side.
