    The new nexus stuff is so much better, but my RNG is still fucking shit. I've spawned about 40 distant memories in a few hours and none of them is one of the ones I need for the challenge. Meanwhile Janus somehow got recruited in the wrong branch of Betrayal without any interaction from me AND...

    The tree is more confusing than it really is once you get the basics, you'll often path the same way for several classes and builds and you just get used to it, although there's minor optimization here and there. The real customization comes from the Uniques+skill system. You can do some really...

    As far as I remember reading, it was more along the lines of waiting for the may live letter to know what they are doing with the classes because he didn't want to reveal one combat change without talking about all of them at the same time so people get the whole picture. I don't think it was...

    Isn't it just bad RNG? It took me 11 maps to proc my Jun master prophecy the other day. It used to be they couldn't pop on the same map if they didn't pop the first time but pretty sure they fixed that so you don't have to seal it everytime, but I was running random shit anyway, just wouldn't work.

    So resubbed and did the story, was really short, expected a bit more than that tbh. Wasn't too bad but I think it would have helped a bit if we went a bit further in the questline, although I guess what happens after is going to kinda cascade into a lot of shit in a row and there wouldn't be a...

    Yeah they either need to make Cadiro core, like Prophecy shit, you get coins every now and then and then he spawns infrequently in random places, or remove it entirely, shit sucks. It sucks they made a challenge about him too. The only reliable ways to get Cadiro this league are Perandus...

    People were selling various hideouts for 30-50c in trade 820, not sure about shaper one though, probably rarer just by the nature of the thing, unless you run a boss killing service so you have people giving you sets for free to farm it. Fucking Nexus shit is killing me for the challenges...

    Well technically Orbonne is newer. It's early for the echo/savage/tome cap stuff though, last expansion it was later than that(not by much mind you, but there also wasn't stuff planned up to may). Probably will resub soon once I'm done with PoE challenges, need to start farming a bard set since...

    You actually need to be on the Pyros weapon step to start the Armor stuff, so you have to do Pagos. You can skip Pyros and Hydatos grinds however as only being on the first step of Pyros is necessary.

    For farming light sadly there isn't really a "good" way. It's just all kinda slow and shitty. You can do NMs, it's nice if you want to just afk. You can join various light farming parties, some will also do NMs inbetween, that's more efficient than afking but it's boring as fuck and also still...

    I mean I got there just doing the sulphite I found myself, a lot of it from quests, also I bought a few niko prophecies to run when I was doing shaper/elder guardian maps(it's like 5k sulphite there for 15c prophecy, although it doesn't spawn all the time). As for fossils, I didn't actually play...

    Nexus is +1, not max rooms. If you only had lvl 1 rooms around it, they'd be upgraded to +2. Also it only upgrades rooms directly connected to it, so catalyst of corruption wouldn't be upgraded. Engineering should have been upgraded from 1 to 2 though. Nexus is often a bit shit sadly. Finally...

    I don't know which icon is which but isn't Elder still on red on this? Guardians are considered red map if elder is on a red map, regardless of where they actually are, so should be fine for the quest. Elder is the eye on precinct I think?

    I mean I do that in every game pretty much. Once I'm done reading subs I'll just skip the text, rare times where I just stand there actually listening. Part of the annoyance with XIV dialogues is there's pauses inbetween every character talking, so it feels fairly slow if you just listen...

    I think they wanted to add one male one female, they knew they wanted Viera for female since it was always requested, and they didn't want to make male rabbits for whatever reason and/or wanted to make a "big" male race, so they went with an old FF race. They could have done something different...

    Disapointed DNC isn't a healer but still kinda interested, we'll see how it goes when they reveal more about the job. I just feel it's going to be very much a light support like BRD/MCH so that's not really that interesting to me in terms of role. I had hoped it'd be a melee support at least...

    Seems Vaal fireball works better though, it's ok-ish for bosses if you can get them close to a wall and the map clear from what I've seen looks fairly similar since the aoe of fireball becomes gigantic once it flies a bit with the jewel.

    Yeah they tend to have some of the best. Bard and Dragoon have cool shit too. I wish there were good looking fist weapons but I dislike all the relic designs basically. I wish they'd do a relic like Makai fists where it's just gloves/half gloves/nothing with some cool lights. Almost every fist...

    Well you could get it back anyway by redoing the quest regardless and they won't replace shit without making you use your one time account replacement thing, which is probably not worth doing for a single relic weapon, especially since that's like, the first step? Just throw the shield away and...

    Sounds a bit unlucky, or you're not interogating often. I've gotten a fair bit of them. Mind you, I'm still like 30% on mastermind at lvl 94.5, so it's definitely not good, but I've gotten some safehouses at least. Sucks they didn't fix the crafting shit too though. They need to like, at least...

    Monk was "the job" too back then, at least until they revealed SAM, and they didn't show shit. In fact they also didn't really do much for monk in that expansion until they buffed Riddle of Wind in a much later patch, there wasn't anything to show even if they wanted to since the new skills are...

    While it's possible they'll talk a bit about it, I think next week is still going to be focused on new content, rather than updated content. As far as I remember the time where they really talked about the old classes in SB was during the ~may live letter, where they showed some of the new...

    You probably don't need both Orb of Storm and Storm Brand. But yeah it'll reapply on each hit. That said if you're running Herald of Ice remember it adds cold damage to everything you do, which means every lightning hit will also hit for cold, thus making it apply +25% to both resists and...

    For the change about distant memories, just click whatever it is and then move away without clicking the stabilizer. Eventually get into the blue shit and you'll pop at the entrance, activate the stabilizer there and it'll bring the loot to you and you can just walk out this way.

    There's different scaling stuff at work so while the ilvl is small, the difference is huge. It helps not inflating the ilvl numbers too between expansions. But like defense values(mostly relevant for tanks), base hp, all secondary stat scaling formulas and the fact level differences in combat...

    The logic is that some people don't want to play on the hardest difficulty because it's too hard for shitty builds, and this way they can stay on it and reach 99 anyway. They could probably tweak normal to do that with another expansion though. Or make the added difficulty a toggle kind of...

    It's because they have stats, so they can't really stack. They should have let you upgrade the amount you can hold or some shit though, 10 is too few considering it isn't guaranteed shit like Temple was with Incursion. Best way to do it I've found is to just replace everything at 1 charge. Plan...

    I know the post is long but the key part is you need to look at the tier 2 limit, not the tier 3. Basically, the number is the amount the mod goes up to, not the amount it starts at. So you look at the tier 2 one, which is the max amount for tier 2, 95, and that means you need 100(since it's in...

    To be fair the atlas stuff is only relevant if you want to farm currency(as in, LOTS of currency) or if you want to get to 100.

    It's annoying in zones that are split in 2 though like Sea of Clouds in HW and Fringes/Peaks in SB, cause you don't unlock flying until the 2nd part which happens way later, makes gathering a pain in the dick in these zones until you lvl your combat classes. I hope they don't do that split zone...
