Pyros

Since I'm about to be done with my plans for the league and it's pretty cheap I figured I'd try the Raven's Flock unique staff on my minion Disciple of Varashta build. Spent a few divs to make the switch and took it for some mapping and bossing for a bit.

Overall I'd say it's ok? Honestly, it's not really any faster or slower than before. The build was already super strong anyway, I think it's about the same performance for mapping(including bosses) but it's quite a bit worse for Pinnacle fights because you can't build your ravens before the fight. It's still good enough though.

I also lost a bunch of defenses from having to switch my robe to one with spirit to maintain my minions for Must

In the maintenance notice, there is an interesting mention of the next 2 rerun banners which usually they don't announce. What is a bit weird is the name is wrong(it says it's Revelation in the Waters, which usually is the name of pick your own scam banner, but the banners are the usual 1 char for 2 weeks reruns one after the other, starting from the end of the current 6 rerun banner).

From the notes:

12. [Revelation of the Water] Characters Preview

To ensure a smooth experience during Version 2.5, we'd like to share details about the upcoming two [Revelation of the Water] banners:

2025-05-06 Update: Vila, Ulu, Balloon Party

2025-05-20 Update: Semmelweis, Blonney, Horropedia

I wanted t

And finally after a ton of time trying to get good RNG, I just gave up and figured I'd get my chars a bit stronger and... I noticed I hadn't put any resonance fragments on Ms Babel. I proceeded to easily clear it on first try after equipping them.

Fuck me, I guess I forgot cause I got both J and her at the same time and didn't pay attention after doing euphoria+resonance mats grind. She went from often losing her shield on a single attack from the boss, making her ult taunt a death sentence, to comfortably tanking everything.

Now only 200-3 left, gave it a try before and it didn't look too bad but that was with La Source draining moxie which I swapped in 200-2 so we'll see if I can brute f

I know not that many people do Dusk runs to begin with, but I figured I'd get the new ending myself instead of watching it on youtube so I ended up doing a few proper runs to get it. You technically don't need the new expansion active to get the ending but I wanted to see how it was, and was pretty surprised to see that even though it says it "could make the game more difficult", it actually makes it substantially easier.

The main thing that was added was Acoustica artifacts, which are artifacts for a specific character giving you a bunch of effects if you have the char in your team. You get one effect right away and then 2 more effects can be unlocked by completing the objectives noted (fo

In 3.0 there will be an update to DU mentionned in there that I don't remember seeing on the stream(maybe I missed it though).

You will gain double Synchronicity points for both normal and cyclical runs for all of 3.0.

Also a new mode will be added which lets you start with a blessing+curio+100 cosmic fragments as well as doing more damage and taking less damage but you can't gain titles in that mode(not that I'm sure what titles are supposed to be, I guess the Stable Computing Array rewards maybe since that'd make it too easy?)

If you're farming DU to get the rewards before it ends, it's worth accounting for that amount of additional points you can get after the patch. As a reminder ther

As title says, 56.2% Tenet Livia(one valence to get max) available.

For people asking if it's worth it, the weapons aren't necessarily great but it's nice for completionists who want all tenet/kuva at 60% since it's such a high %.

Today I finished my circuit so I had 3 blueprints to build, kinda clicked on them to add them quickly, but I guess they moved around and I ended up hitting a Rush instead. It's not a massive loss since it's "just" 25plats but it bothers me a fair bit that I can spend platinum on misclicks this easily. I feel maybe I bought a weapon slot when I was buying credit weapons on the market but had no space too, since I had like 88plats instead of a round amount, but I'd have bought a weapon slot at some point anyway.

Anyway I'm asking but googling I'm just seeing suggestions from like 8years ago so I assume it's not a thing?

Eh new player, I bought the starter package but hadn't noticed the frames and weapons already come at max level. From checking my mastery summary, these don't provide mastery points however, so I have a few questions on how to get these points.

My assumption is I have to recraft the same things and level them. Can you have dupes? Like I have Rhino warframe from this, can I make another Rhino warframe while I still have this one or do I have to sell it? Can I sell it for anything but credits?

I read something about deleveling weapons for... something, it's not a feature I have yet I believe, can I use that instead of recrafting the weaps? Is it a lategame thing or will it unlock pretty soon

First the link, can use google translation and such to get an idea of what's coming. https://www.kr.playblackdesert.com/ko-KR/News/Detail?groupContentNo=10962&countryType=ko-KR

Now the summary is more or less what was expected.

Season is forever, you get coupons at times that let you make a new seasonal char(can assume it'll be 4times a year like usual). You need a coupon to create a new seasonal char(and not have a seasonal char already), then when you graduate it'll consume the coupon, so you can still delete and remake the char if you don't like the class you picked or whatever. You can only hold a max of 5 coupons, and if you stop playing for 180days any season char is automatically g

Didn't see this mentionned yet but they added this change that wasn't on Global Lab last week and made it so you can get drops from alternate spots that can be traded for pity pieces. You can't get the actual full pieces there, but it's a nice way to finish a piece in a different spot, or just get some progress while doing something else like farming skill/xp at polly. Can also buy fruits/krogdalo source if you don't care about pots, which adds a little bit of additional income to these spots indirectly.

It has been changed so that you can always acquire 'Elements of Atanis', which could be obtained through events.

Atanis' element acquisition rate in the following hunting gro

Title says it all but just worth mentionning since a ton of events end today as well as mileage reset since it's a major patch.

Time for the maintenance is UTC (Universal Time Coordinated): FEB 21, 02:00 – FEB 21, 14:00

KST (Korean Standard Time): FEB 21, 11:00 – FEB 21, 23:00

PST (Pacific Standard Time): FEB 20, 18:00 – FEB 21, 06:00

EST (Eastern Standard Time): FEB 20, 21:00 – FEB 21, 09:00

This is much earlier than standard patches. Use google to convert to your own timezone if needed, but don't wait for the last minute, open all your boxes, pack all your simulator gear, spend all your mileage and fix all your stuff before the maintenance, don't be distracted by the 1 day left stuff.

Before I spend my storage augmentations I want to make sure I understood this correctly. Ship size only affects the starting amount of inventory when you buy it, but every ship can max out the same amount correct? I grabbed a S rank Hauler in a whim since it was cheap because it's one of these small flying boxes ones but all it means is I need to use more storage and I'll still end up with 48 inventory 42 cargo at the end, same as if I bought one of the super big haulers right?

So there's been a bunch of posts with a lot of upvotes yesterday on how to make gold/silver with alts and all of these, as well as comments explaining the same thing in other places, but these are always followed by comments about how "you just have to play 16hours lul" or you need to no life to be able to do that.

And while I won't argue that having more time leads to having more ressources, a lot of people simply use their time very inefficiently and that's why they have this preconception that to have 6 chars(1main and 5alts) in T3, you need to play 16hours a day. You really don't need more than a couple of hours a day past the initial investment(and even that is usually done in ~3hours
