2350/122k as of tonight. We had a 3100/200k asmo running around in the Abyss during siege, wrecking all the things.

I got hit with a second captcha within 30 minutes while gathering Food materials, sadly the second happened while I was alt-tabbed out finding a twitch drops streamer. So now my main is a pile of sludge unable to do anything. Pretty lame.

Yeah, I managed to get on one morning right after maintenance and was gathering away, for once bot free, and got hit by captcha several times, it's fucking retarded.

Not sure. It is probably mostly Stigma, where I have three skills at lvl15, and the 50 Stagger skill at lvl1. The Special Genus is at lvl10, while all the rest are at lvl9, working on getting the really nice title for having all at lvl10. Haven't tried to get the best rolls on any of them though. Getting Skill levels on pieces of gear helps too. Still haven't tried Transcendence, I'd like to get the Vakron Guard / Cloak first.
Transcendence is the biggest/quickest gs bump once you level those cards. Can craft a free yellow card too that lets you choose stat.

How tf is that even possible - didn't they remove the raid? What gear is he pumping to hit 3100? I've farmed like mad on my chanter and he's only 2.25

"Essence extraction restricted due to repetitive behavior"...

This fucking game. I'm grinding on a group of like 8 bees and grabbing the occasional odyle spawn off the edge of the cliff, and the super rare avasta tree. Like, my fucking flight time and all the FUCKING BOTS prevent me from harvesting much at all.

Yea, there should be some secondary checks in place before initiating the sludge form or disabling a node. Like, are they killing mobs, have they ever failed a captcha, are they wearing a modified outfit, are they using titles that require active play, etc. Simple things that would show the player is a person and not someone using a script or a straight up bot.

Edit: New Drops have four 40 energy items up, if you're capped for the week.

Meanwhile, they don't even ban the bots that make their dungeon party titles a kina sales ad...

Grind for Pets. I suggest going for Cogni first, as those pets give combat stats. Open the Pet menu, the Cogni pet list is the top one, click a Pet and over on the right side of the screen you should see a Source or Info button. Click that to find out where that Pet drops. Go get it to max. Keep doing that. This will give you unbound Kinah and drops (occasionally gold drops). If you go to Immortal Island, you can farm the Kerubian mobs as they are Cogni, if I recall there are 3 types there. You can also grind Natura Pets there, which give good stats as well, and there are several types.

If you have 1400 GS, spend energy in Uruguru or Vakron, each clear gives 300k unbound.
U just fly over to each pet and just kill them and level them to 3 and that levels the genus?

Nah, you need to go into Insight, and spam "analyse" to level them up, sure you can get SOME xp from leveling pets but it's a faction of what you need to get to level 10.

That line only triggers when you are canceling your gather. It's to prevent people effectively "fishing" for procs, quickly blowing through the node only committing to a gather if you hit a blue/gold. If you are getting hit by this, and your intention was NOT to cancel the gather, I suggest squaring up on the gather target without perching on it, or starting to gather too far away.

I know about the fishing for procs prevention bs, (don't exploit our stupid design please! yeah, I know we didn't tell you, but don't do it anyway, here's a restriction for a few minutes, enjoy!)
I sometimes try when I'm too far away, or still moving, because I'm trying to get as many gathers as I can before I get swarmed and trying to use as little flight time as possible. The fact that that triggers it too is just more retarded shit. Being bounced between can't gather shit because of bots and can't gather shit because of stupid anti-bot mechanics that do nothing to stop bots. SO FUN, MUCH WOW!
