People complain about the runestone timegate for Wayfarer's Henge but nobody ever talks about the thousands of Kralkatite ore you need to make the 6 weapons in Istan for Vision, which was way more annoying to me. At least you can speed it up with every character you have at 80 going to fix mirrors and wake up drunk pirates.

byora's marches exists now :v:

just doing storms and drakkar and opening the large chests daily is like a stack of kralk

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
The only group objective required for the legendary amulet that was difficult to do was the oil rig defense (the one culminating in killing a giant slime).
I think i had to do it 7-8 times before it was successful.
All other group ones succeeded the first time i tried them. Im EU timezone playing on US realm so anyone playing in their region shouldnt have any problems finishing any of the group objectives.

You can also salvage ecto and combine them as an artificer, then sell the dust. You only lose a ton of money instead of all of it!
Also worth noting that lunar new year throws essence of luck at you, which should land right around the same time as the precursor armor.

I was kinda worried about necro swords turning out to be a support weapon, but honestly its probably the best thing that could happen to Necro. The real power is in the shroud anyway so I might as well spend my time out of it pumping boons and some heals or barriers. And with every single necro weapon being a variation of "dps + some offense focused utility" its the best shot necros will get at some variety, unless they somehow decide to turn swords into a mobility or defensive weapon, which I just cant see.

I haven't played this game basically since it came out and I'm putzing around with the free stuff right now. I assume it's cool for me to just do whatever as I'm leveling? Should I be particularly concerned about hero points and accidentally making a lovely build?

They said want to fill niches with the new weapons that aren't currently covered well. The profs that got support weapons don't have great options. The remaining profs already have pretty good options, so I don't see them being so heavily support oriented.

Meatoberfest is in full swing.
Original dedicated 'healer' weapon sets were all of like, staff ele camping water and mace/shield guardian. So now they're playing catch-up with support builds being expected to constantly heal/barrier/aegis and not just provide cc, peels, etc.

That said the sum total of necro weapon skills that directly benefit allies are: Mark of Blood and Locust Swarm. So I'm not holding out hope for swords to be a pure dps set.

I have Mistlock, but I've slowly stopped using it since getting addicted to Jade Bot buffs. Porting to Mistlock removes them. Does Thousand Seas do the same?

I know you can fish there, which is pretty neat.

I like the aesthetics of the Rev Scepter, but having it be melee and doing things like putting barrier on the final auto attack in the chain and linking to allies that might run out of range makes it seem pretty unwieldy. I guess that is what the beta test is for.

I'm not 100 percent certain, because I'm not addicted to the bot buffs, but I thiiiink that was one of the pros I read last year when I was deciding which pass to buy? It does have a jade bot work bench...

But yeah, this sounds and looks awesome. Hopefully they can do a focus buff at some point, because I want to play a truly ranged build (as fun as OH dagger is), and warhorn isn't my cup of tea.
