    Well shit, how do I make 250 gold an hour? I've got 182 hours into this and I'm broke.

    That seems like a bargain. The cash conversion on that in game is like $5 for 1k gold (gems to gems to gold).

    I believe so, but only on 2nd clear. Some floors give 1k destruction/guardian stones. Just finished it on my pally, last floor is 7 large harmony shard bags.

    Yeah, tower is definitely the way. My only problem is I've stalled out at floor 44 on my pally alt. Killing these big beefy bosses is hard as hell.

    Depends on what you want, but Sasha, Nineveh, Beatrice, and Calvasus are choices due to hearts, which means skill points.

    Crap, why didn't I think of that? Seems obvious now. I'm out of guardian, but was asking what to do with all my extra destruction stones. Weapon is +15 though. Then again, the chances are way lower with +16 than +15. I could try selling weapon and buying armor.

    So they're never raising rates. That can't be good for the long term viability of our economy.

    Up or down? I'm guessing down. It's basically flat now in the last 11 months.

    So I keep mentioning staying in front of the pack to avoid the terrible players, but the flip side of this is that there are a lot of us that can help carry people through some of the content so you don't have to play with them. The little serverwide chat thing is a boon. Keep an eye on it for...

    I want to point out that I'm the only person even close to the current market number in the prediction thread. Granted, we're only 2 months into the year, but I think it's going to keep dropping. I think we end the year about where we are now, after it falls much further.

    Sure. But when someone says "the oil prices are entirely because of OPEC," I'm not going to pretend that's a true statement.

    I'm a few pages behind, so I apologize if someone else mentions it, but our oil prices are entirely because of inflation. The dollar is losing value, and oil is traded in dollars. And the inflation is a combination of printing trillions and trillions, and the repercussions of shutting down the...

    Man, these abyss dungeons are something else. The Phantom Palace ones were tough, but these 8 man are ridiculous. I'm scared of what tier 3 looks like.

    Ran the first t2 abyss last night and it seems much better designed. It's not nearly as punishing.

    That's the one a few pages ago where I said "never again." Despite myself and I think Suineg both being in T2 and carrying it, we still probably wiped at least a dozen times. Oh, and everyone in Discord. That whole dungeon is awful.

    What the fuck? Didn't get either. Fucking Amazon. Edit: Guess I didn't realize the Prime was opt in. So I got that one. And I guess we were out of town for the 11-14 one. Think I logged in the 10th and 15th.

    Hmm. Never saw anything like that. You on EU? Only reason I'm still rushing is because the terribads will ruin your day. I'm already struggling explaining easy mechanics to groups and it's only two weeks in. When the masses start hitting t2 it'll be a shit show. I still haven't been able to...

    Bottom of the honing guy, second tab, you transfer it. Click the one you want to transfer to first, then select your material. Hopefully you didn't hone any second sets. Fun thing they don't tell you is you can use your t1 +15s on the base t2 to automatically get +1. Saves a very small amount...

    Geez, I've got slightly more time played but I'm not THAT far from t3. If I dropped like $50 I bet I could get there. But why? Edit: Uh, fuck, I've got 115 hours. So a lot more.

    Never again. That 2nd abyssal was nightmarish. I doubt I ever run that fucker again. Even with Suineg and I both in t2 it was horrendous. I need someone to help a brother out with some of the t2 guardians or abyssals. I've got 60 rest xp on my guardians because I haven't been able to pug any.

    Same with my bard alt. At first I thought I might change it to my main. But holy shit is it squishy, and it feels so low impact.

    So I think I have my first legitimate complaint about the game, and that's the schedule gating of certain things. I need a ton of Gianeh coins, but the only way to get them is co-op sailing events. And those are only at a very specific time, and you'd need to run probably 4-5 days of it to buy...

    My group was 3 people at 1k+, and another around normal level for it (a bard). Even still, I think we used up a few revives just because sometimes you get screwed.

    The only island I "missed" was glacier, and you need to finish Arthetine to unlock the guy in Peyto (thanks whoever it was in the guild that figured it out). I also didn't finish the Starlight Isle questline not realizing it gave more, but it was a fucking slog to get through. It actually gave...

    Was wondering the same thing. Since you can't repeat the msq for exp, I'm guessing I should run my 4th char through and do all the side quests and purple quests I didn't hit?

    You do need to eventually though, because otherwise you end up fucking yourself on t1 mats. I kept complaining in chat about how I was short and would be stuck getting to t2, but it turns out a lot of island stuff is locked behind finishing msq on various continents. I finished it all up and...

    I'm actually down more on PLTR as a percentage than I was on AMC. Kept holding, hoping it'd recover, but it keeps finding new lows.

    Maxroll is the best for guides on NA/EU. I pull up the Punika map and the rush to t3 guide on Maxroll and I get everything I need for every island.

    Man, I just don't know. I'm "maining" my deathblade right now, and I enjoy it, but I also have a paladin and bard alt. Enjoy the paladin, enough so that I may make it my main. Bard I don't love. My 4th I created on day one is a scrapper that I intended to play as my main, but I haven't logged...

    I take that back, there is some stuff that's going to be super grindy like rapport and Una reputation. Just today I finally got a handle on running them all with my alts. I can see the value in having tons of alts, but eventually it seems like you hit a threshold where it becomes a job.

    There's a lot of stuff in the game that seems like it was built by actual gamers. That's one, where you just assume you can't respec but you can at any time, anywhere. Compare to New World where the entire upside of the game was ruined by their decisions on respeccing. That's why I think I'm...

    Yeah, almost got screwed by that at T2. First chaos didn't give me a helmet. 2nd did though, so no problem. Didn't want to spend gold on one.

    I keep saying it, but the dungeons in this is amazing. Did Phantom Palace last night on hard and it was unlike anything I've ever seen in an MMO. Shit, even for a single player game. I don't know how you can't enjoy them (at least the first time, before they're abyss versions).

    Kind of a shit design there. When you first join a guild, you're "new" and can't get guild rewards...but also can't contribute. And since everyone is new at the start, @Voldeth was carrying the guild.
