    The post of yours that I was responding to said no one could've hit 1340 before Argos without swiping. I told you I didn't swipe. Don't go changing the qualifier to 1370 all the sudden. And I agree with others, if I had the month of experience I do now, I'd be gold rich and likely 1370 easily.

    I had a bronze pack, and then went on a road trip that basically negated the "head start." Bronze pack didn't come with any currency. I was 1340 for a week and a half before Argos.

    This is a weird cold front. We're supposed to get below freezing here in Florida. In March. That map says "freeze watch" but we're on the coast and it's forecast for 28 or 29 overnight. It's going to be like a 50 degree drop, and then right back to normal a day and a half later.

    I think part of our fucked up expectations is that you're 1382 (wtf man) 1370, and we recruited a few super hardcore people from outside FoH that are also in the 1350+ range. The reality is I saw a Reddit post saying the only people that were 1340+ at this point are whales (which isn't true...

    There's a tranny this season? My wife mentioned that there was a new season, but I'm boycotting CBS shows due to their wokeness. Looks like I made the right decision again.

    I said it just before my three day "gaming weekend" ban from useful threads, but there are two realities. One is that shit hits the fan and the stock market crashes to zero (or realistically, anything greater than 70% and the economy is basically over). In that case, your money and assets are...

    The other side of it is that the CPI basket is manipulated. I'm sure someone can post the charts with 1980s CPI basket where we're actually much closer to 20% inflation. So sitting in cash is a pretty big haircut, not just the 8% they're talking about which is all shit no one actually buys (or...

    Yeesh, 1370 content tomorrow? I'm not sure I'll get there in a month at the current honing rates. 1400 sounds crazy.

    Just a reminder about the definitions here. Transitory 9-10% inflation means they expect it to be a one time event, increasing from 2021 to 2022. Actual inflation of 9-10% means it's expected for a period of several years.

    2nd awakening should unlock for all your characters after you do it on the first. Just visit Beatrice and she'll auto complete it. Don't even need to have been to Rohendel to do it.

    Yeah, I've had a bitch of a time getting good equipment in T3. I don't particularly want to pay a bunch of gold for it, and the drops are so few and far between. Kind of sucks.

    Maybe my issue is the Maxroll support guide sucks then, because my shields are WAY better on my paladin. Oh, and like above, the buffs are mostly tiny circles, and with every single encounter requiring so much movement, everyone just wanders out of my bard buffs. Meanwhile paladin you just cast...

    I know @Voldeth made some kind of post at some point about supports, but now that I have a paladin and bard both in T2...I don't understand what the purpose of the bard is. All of its spells are worse as a support than paladin, it's the worst class with dps skills, and it can barely take a hit...

    @Pyros were you ever able to figure out the weekend islands? I got locked out of the 2nd one yesterday too, although it was the first time I'd tried since I didn't know you could do two. I haven't run one today since the afternoon ones are what I want, so I missed out on the morning island.

    I always say this. If your worry is societal collapse, everything becomes worthless so you may as well invest. It's either things have worth, or you'd better have more bullets than your neighbor. It's honestly pretty binary.

    Ah, yeah, I guess I knew some of that. That's the only thing I've used them for is expanding card slots. Speaking of, how many cards are there? For some reason I think I remember the number 210, but searching the internet I couldn't find a number.

    I wish all their systems weren't so convoluted. And like I said about New World, why the shop is so completely devoid of things like skins. Outside of Aura, what do you use BC for? Is everything else gold purchasable? I'm assuming only through the market, and that'd require pheons? Do you need...

    You need to hit 1300 just to unlock the t3 stuff, as otherwise it's gated (Una will give t2 mats for example). But after that I don't see any reason to rush if you don't want to.

    I really missed the boat on converting gold to crystals. I've got like 800 BC. And maybe 5k gold.

    Mine was able to feed my main once, right at the very last hone. It probably made a day worth of difference. Had I had more than 2 alts, it might've worked out better.

    That seems to be what @Voldeth and @Raes have been saying, is that they arbitrarily raised the HP a ton, and even if you know the mechanics, it's hard to be perfect for 15 minutes. I can agree with lowering the HP. The abyss dungeons however seem fine. With the exception being that last abyss...

    I feel like it's a good gatekeeper for t3 abyss and guardians though. It didn't sound like they were looking at that at all, which means now we're getting a bunch of people who couldn't hack it in a couple weeks. I agree with your point that they should've just given us what Korea already has...

    For charisma, start doing the hidden story entries on adventurer's tome (hover over it and it tells you what stat it gives). Using the Papunika map works best in my experience. You can also use the in game codex and search for Charisma Potion and it'll tell you all the places to earn them. Do...

    I mean, the way you explained it is how I understood it. Got my hopes up that there was some kind of super pity if you fail enough. Luckily I got my alt to ilvl 600 and finished Yorn today, so maybe I can funnel some resources into my main for a few extra tries.

    Holy shit, that's a relief. Apparently pity happens on t2 around 5 or 6 armor fails? And that means 100% chance? I had 4 on my last slot today. Assuming I get enough mats tomorrow, I'd say I should be good to go for t3 on Tuesday?
