    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.

    Don't forget to track the skills you want. Makes the whole system tolerable.

    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.

    Don't try that on that 2nd T3 abyss. Tried it on each boss and each time got run over and one shot.

    Yeah, I've completely foregone doing chaos with a group anymore. Takes way too long, and then you have idiots 100% clearing stages.

    Seems pointless. So you buy yourself to max t3 and...quit?

    I'm surprised no one mentioned the incredibly long scene at the end of the two black lesbians making out as the camera circled them.

    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.

    Hmm. I read something on Reddit that basically said after a certain number of attempts it becomes guaranteed. Were those fuckers lying? God damnit @Voldeth don't do this to me!

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
