>>3792451when will they release it offline
>>3792577literally never, they'd sooner self-destruct
All I remember from these games isa) discovering cheating was possible, fucking around and finding out (getting banned) in AQb) being torn between two of the houses in MQ because one had an edgy assassin mech and the other one was fucking mecha wizards and at the time both were the coolest shit I could think ofWhich is to say, how jank and frustrating is it to play again to relive the nostalgia, just give me a straight simple answer
>>3792633MechQuest? Still jank, but it's perfectly playable.
>>3792566Man, I love Arcana InvokerI assume Dragonslayer General is being used against dragon targets?
Only logging in from time to time to make sets with new stuff, but at the same time it feels great when you assign each with a proper endgame class, so now I'm stuck trying to get Arcana Invoker for this one and Darkon is so stupidly hard to kill in random parties I'm willing to get a chrono to replace every other 200-ping pablo archpaladins who misses his heal timing crap.>>3792633>edgy assassin mechMisthaven was The Edge before edgy even existed as a slang
>>3792841I just farmed Arcana Invoker the hard way. I hate relying on others since I'm not part of a guild. Fantastic class, though.
>>3792859Same. I'm in the process of leveling up and grinding for multiple alts because I'd rather be multiboxing four windows than to cooperate with bots and underages.
>>3793170Some part of me still enjoys playing at public parties rather than in armies. Maybe it is nostalgia for the times I beat chaos lords with randoms, but it's also because otherwise the game feels like a single-player cookie grinder without the unpredictability and player anecdotes. Though too much unpredictability can be unwarranted for your time, that's why I'm going for the middle ground and getting chronos such as css and pcm to swap and one-trick-pony party roles if one of the players are flunking too much
>>3793210>>3793170The biggest issue is that a lot of randoms are both uncooperative and have no idea what they're doing. Makes things endlessly frustrating.Really doesn't help that a lot of them are also ESL...
>>3792451Robina is built for vore and painful digestion in a dragon's belly
>>3794096
>Looking for stuff to do>Turns out there are actually two 50% damage boost weapons I can get easily
>>3794115that's so meta
>>3792841Please be nice to AP players. We are new and trying our best to learn while we work on unlocking better classes.
I got another Necrotic Sword of Doom variant. I'm running out of Forge enhancements to put on these.
>>3792451More like fartdix lol.
I still haven't killed Ultra Speaker a single time...
>>3795203I still haven't done astralshrine a single time. How do you even get enough people for it if you're not in a guild?
>>3792566>Wanted to find a newer guide for AQ3D, but could only find a fucking fishing guideHelp me you botters REEE! Also, nothing other than Discord channels for ED and MQ>>3792690Yeah, that's why "Dragon" was bolded and AI's higher DPS is after it completes a full cycleHowever, the guy who made that doesn't have the best latency and it's already outdated tooWanted a better one, but couldn't find anything. Guardian got buffed recently, glass cannon though>>3794857I only keep four +51% since I use the Wall Awe Plaque to switch between Awe enhancements
>>3795203ha! loser>>3795468you don't. make friends, it's an mmo.
>>3795797>four +51% weapons>awe enhancementschat what did he mean by this
>>3795203I killed Ultra Speaker for the first time today!
>>3792841Why do you need to kill Darkon? Drago is way easierAlso, they had an insignia boost for the birthday last year>>3796123Awe, Elysium, Lacerate, and Ravenous is all I need.>>3796613Congratulations! It's always the hardest the first time.
>>3796635Bro, your Arcana Concerto?
>>3796645>The only Arcana I need in my life is picture related Concerto is pretty niche, don't need the poleaxes since I have SDKA, needing insignias for AIDauntless/Valiance cuz lazy, low synergy with my classes, no use for IFP & MSFB / AP & DoT
>>3796673I sometimes wish she was a more relevant NPC. Imagine her reaction to finding out the Hero is now an Archmage.
>The Divine WillWow, I hate trying to get this
>>3792451Can someone buy and leak the lore colouring book? Can't afford it here in Canada lol
Exalted Apotheosis acquired
>Trying to help someone do the daily Nightbane quest>He keeps dying at the last second
https://x.com/ArtixKrieger/status/1943339259747856870Gravelyn comic is coming, apparently
>>3792451>new ultrabossI simply will not do nulgath type grinds or ultra bosses. I log on solely to do story quests, farm weekly events and play dress up.
The Arcana and the Hero during the Arcana Invoker questline.
>>3801297show us your outfits, anon.
>>3797301Bro??? It's just 20 bucks here, how much do you have to pay?
How are people doing so much damage when farming bosses? Some people outright instakill the bosses, and at times I feel like I'm doing less damage than a level 90.My gear is:>+51% weapon forge +6, smite>head anima +6, clairvoyance>everything else normal forge +6 enchants>VHL classMy 2/3/4/5 skills do 9k/9k/5k/30-50k damage (if that means anything).I try to use consumes like the potent battle elixir/felicitous philtre/power tonic/potion of speed/etc. but they don't really make much of a difference.Also I get instakilled by a lot of bosses (like the hydra challenge or archfiend dragonlord). I know the clairvoyance helm makes you very squishy, but even if I take it off and switch to a tankier class (like AP), I still get instakilled and just can't solo the fight at all.
>>3795797>Vindicator Of TheyKINO. This was my main class when I was actually invested in AQW like a decade ago. The TMBG collaboration was super cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTxXVhdmdZc
>>3801673Paypig calendar classes all have their dedicated nukes so people keep buying them
>>3801673Only stuff like CAv or SSoT can solo bosses like Icewing or AFDL. They do monstrous amounts of damage.Surprisingly, ArchMage actually can solo the level 90 Hydras.
>>3801526No, you'll make fun of me.
>>3802094i would never
>>3792633>All I remember from these games is>a) discovering cheating was possible, fucking around and finding out (getting banned) in AQyea, that's all i really remember about them too, my friend telling me to play in the early 2000s i think, starting it and realizing how insanely grindy it is because they want your money in their insanely content-bare garbage flashgame, then firing up the ol' cheatenginei never got banned for it though
>>3802044ArchMage can solo the first two inn ultra bosses if you build for healing and use a few buff bots. You'll just be there for a while.>still can't decide whether I like this set or not
>>3802252Nobody could accept the real meYou have no idea how much I resisted spending my Mythic Item of Digital Awesomeness on Alpha Pirate for the memes.
How strong do you guys think the Hero is if we mashed all of the available classes together?
>>3802909probably as strong as DoT
>>3802813where are the horns/tail from?and what did you end up spending it on?
>>3803013>where are the horns/tail from?Creature 10 Horns, they should still be available. And Grand Necromancer's Tail from an anniversary a few years back, there's probably a collection chest by now I guess.>and what did you end up spending it on?Nothing. I don't particularly want anything because I've been playing for a long time + I don't care about Rares, so I'm waiting to stumble on something I missed over the years. Or maybe I'll just waste it on a class I don't want to farm for like LR or the new Darkon one.
>>3803172I don't think LR or AI have AC variants
>>3803176Legion Revenant (without the IoDA tag even) is already the most popular choice for those tokens, AI has an AC tag on the wiki too although I have no idea if it is too new to grab that way yet. AI actually looks pretty fun to farm all the merging materials and the claws/wings from the shop are cool though, so I probably won't do that one.
>>3803184is LR that much of a pain to get? i'm saving up free AC's from events so i can join the legion and start my LR grind.how bad is the grind compared to classes like AI or VHL?
>>3803193It's probably the class with the worst "pure" grind, but it doesn't require ultra bosses. I'd say it's slightly more time consuming than AI or VHL.Also, the new Lich class requires Rank 10 Grimskull Trolling, so get to those dailies.
Thoughts about creating a guild for anons?
>>3803193I don't think it looks hard, but it's the bad type of grind. For Archmage, EDoT, AI, etc you sort of go on an adventure for the non-ultraboss methods. You see storylines and items you missed, go to different places, sometimes change classes to counter things like soloing Icewing, go down memory lane, etc. For Nulgath, Darkon, Legion, Necrotic Sword type grinds it's just a grinding and nothing more. I don't mind in small bursts like farming for a merge shop, but I never do those long types of grinds.
>>3803217An anon proposed doing it a while back, but nothing ever came to be.>>3803218>>3803193LR is just really, really mind numbing. You can at least make things easier since we have more ways to get Legion Tokens nowadays, but it's still quite boring. I'd recommend it, though. LR is probably the single most versatile class in the game.
>>3803229>I'd recommend it, though...but I still need to finish my grinds for Arcana Invoker, Chaos Avenger, Arch Mage, and Dragon of Time.
>>3803240>>38032324chan ate my post. The smug girl is no longer as effective.>Better get to it, then.
>>3803229Nah, I'm good. Legion stuff is pretty much all lame aside from the lich related gear, at least Hollowborn has some neat ideas for their designs and has the decency to let you choose the colour.
>>3803184LR isn't very hard to get, just tedious. If you want to waste a token at least get something that has sentimental value for you. Or get SDKA if you're a free player, it's not tagged so you can use it to get NSoD and stuff.
>>3803326>If you want to waste a token at least get something that has sentimental value for you.The problem is that I have both been playing this specific account since like 3 years after the game released and have money to burn, so my bank is chock full of stuff I've gathered over the years including like half of the most popular rare items people use the items for. There isn't anything of sentimental value for me left to get, only items I might want for cosmetics or skipping grinds. Not complaining, I'm just saying.>Or get SDKA if you're a free player, it's not tagged so you can use it to get NSoD and stuff.Isn't that like step 1 of 30 or something? At that point you could just grab the sword or a different 50% damage weapon from the get go.
>>3803354I think NSoD is the most valuable 51% weapon to get since it is used to make a bunch of other 51% weapons. IIRC, the IoDA version cannot be used.
>>3803354>Isn't that like step 1 of 30 or something?Nah, you'll have to stand around in shadowrealm for a while but it's immensely faster than doing it the regular way. And then you just go around a couple of maps for the remaining items like necronomicons afaik. I don't know how much faster it is when you're a member, but I remember getting like 80% of the required void auras manually doing the non-member quest before finally the x years played tokens were added to the game. So I used them to get SDKA and an old rare armor that I used to have on a private server before even knowing there was a real AQW - like I said, sentimental value.
Give me something to grind for that isn't locked behind weekly or daily a quests. I need something to do.
>>3803634LR
>>3803637Already done
>>3803647Lumina Elementi
>>3803634This cape.
>>3803661Already done>>3803675Which cape is that?
which weapon should i use for the outfit?or are there any other weapons that might fit?
>>3803898The second one fits the best,
>>3792566Verus doom knight and void highlord>really
The Anglers in the Grimgaol are just obnoxious to fight. I swear, the Emperor one will just randomly one shot me even when my HP is well above half, and I'm using a Penitence cape!
>>3804042I just did my first Grimgaol run, and it was brutal.The anglers weren't too bad - I just spammed heal on VHL and had an emergency pot on my hotbar just incase (apparently you can do it wit DoT too).The final boss was horrible though. The only class I could survive the fight on was LoO, so I sat there spamming abilities for 6 mins.
>>3804074The Anglers are the only things that stop me. Final boss can just be spammed to death with CAv
>>3804075I need to unlock CaV asap then! I've done everything except progressing the QoM saga to get the drop from her.
>>3804076Good luck. It's a very useful class.
I swear, the immediate reception to every recent class has been>It's not as good as VHL, it's worthlessAnd then half of them are just outright better than VHL
>>3804075Not him, but is it possible to get CaV without the Ultra Boss? I don't have any friends and I don't work well with groups.
>>3804286No.Just use LoO or SC if you need to be carried.
>>3804204VHL has been overhyped so much that when I finally got it I was very disappointed-- s-surely all the force enchantments are as good as people say, right?
>>3804286>>3804289>Just use SC if you need to be carried.This. Just use SC and get carried. Unlike with LoO, you don't need to time heals or anything. Just faceplant the keyboard and the team carry you.
>>3805012It's amazing with Dauntless. It just has a very specific niche of "bosses with ~200k HP". For any other scenario, a different class is better.
Finally got CaV!
>>3806248Congrats, bro. Enjoy soloing a bunch of those heavy hitting bosses. Also learn how to taunt loop with yourself.

>DoomKnight costs $65 to get in DragonFableWhy
>>3806620how else can AE milk you for hundreds of dollars since DF doesn't have a monthly subscription?
>>3806620The company was going through a phase where they were willing to sell ridiculously broken pay-to-win stuff in all of their games. Doomknight these days is actually not even the original Doomknight. The original was so ridiculously outrageously broken in such a way that it trivialized literally the entire game by nature. So the developers were cornered into nerfing it if they wanted the game to have any interactivity at all with a large part of the playerbase. But obviously people who bought it also didn't want to readily accept a nerf to the P2W class they bought. So newer people who've bought Doomknight get a less broken one, and older players who bought Doomknight are grandfathered into the outrageously good Doomknight but also get the less broken one.Dragonfable today has its monthly challenge battles as a core piece of its design philosophy now and I think they do a really good job at pushing the limits of the battle system with that. But anyway as part of that, the old Doomknight is banned from the challenges. New Doomknight is still really good to be clear. But it has some flaws. It's maybe the best class in the game but still doesn't do every challenge very well. Recently I feel like Pirate's been destroying all the challenges the easiest. But it depends what style of fight the devs feel like putting out, and the playerbase is pretty temperamental, and the devs are receptive to the playerbase for good or for bad
>start the arc after Malgor finally>three (3) Evil options>Good option is the same response tonally, just wordier>no ChaosThe Chaos posters will remember this.
>>3807322Chaosfags are GONE and IRRELEVANT
What do you guys think of this new girl who is going to show up eventually?
>>3807460sex
Absolute peak kino. Already makes me excited to see where the arc leads with how they're treating the eternal dragon and the inconceivably massive power balance of Lore, but I'm never going to beat the God of the Depths boss.
>>3808022It has a Legion Token daily associated with it. I'd recommend just visiting it every now and then
>>3807460The secret love child of Dethrix Drakath and Lynaria Dayne.
Every space entity in this game becomes obsessed with (You), I swear
>>3808151>why is everyone always obsessed with the literal centre of the universe?
Also, some random lore that shows the Hero can tank the entire force of a star even without becoming EDoT>>3808154The constellations are a bit different. The Arcana saw you as its equal and really enjoyed spending time with you, Aranx's creator was insanely envious of you, and now these stars want all of your love and affection (and your body)
>>3808156Not just any star, but a blue supergiant star.
I haven't really played an artix game since Twilly looked like this. Can someone pill me on which ones are worthwhile and how best to approach them?I was mostly turned off by the paid aspects and the lack of easy storage options in AQ. I never really got into the other games.I'm thinking of starting fresh, unless there is a benefit to using my ancient original account (which is not in a particularly good state)
>>3808156It's the lore of the entire AQW multiverse that the hero is kind of imagining it up, and that's why mechs and shit can exist in the same universe as medieval knights and magic? I thought that's why Malgor is trying to be the bad guy so the hero won't inadvertently become the villain of his own story.
>>3808273I would say only really Dragonfable and AQW are truly worth playing personally. Mechquest, AQ/Warpforce (forever unfinished) and even Epic Duel are neat however. You play Dragonfable for the storyline and more in-depth battles, AQW for most everything else. DF is much more F2P friendly, but you can do most things in AQW without membership.As for tips the only things I can say that isn't covered by the guides near the top is that you shouldn't spend your free AC/DC coins on random junk. You get free coins through various means and anniversaries, so save them up for something that unlocks content or features. Like buying the Legion armour that unlocks his entire faction in AQW perhaps.Also don't bother grinding exp, since you'll get a ton from just doing the storylines and farming for items as you go. >>3808418Nah, as far as I recall AQW was created when Galanoth slayed the Eternal Dragon of Time in Adventure Quest Classic. This caused a massive shattering of timestreams or whatever they're called and the dragon's power going out of control inadvertently fused a bunch together into a new universe including Mechquest and Dragonfable. The old ones like Mechquest and Dragonfable still exist in mostly the same separate timeline alongside each other iirc. The EDoT did manifest the AQW world and their body, but it's not like Haruhi Suzumiya where they subconsciously shape it after the fact.The new world doesn't have a proper Hero, because the dragon subconsciously put itself in that role which is probably why the Evil side is so overpowered now. Malgor was mostly doing it because he's a good boy, not really for cosmic or karmic reasons.
>>3808418>>3808608AQW formed after the Eternal Dragon of Time killed himself (with Galanoth) and then "stole divinity" from all of the other gods. He then became close enough to a proper God and also started LARPing as an adventurer.Malgor's goal is to save the Hero, which is also why he becomes a villain.
>>3808705>Malgor's goal is to save us, which is also why our son becomes a hero*Fixed.
^-^
got back to AQW after a long break. when are weekly resets for ultra quests? i forgor.
>>3809887Friday
How do you even do Temple Shrine without friends
>>3811292You don't. Make friends!
HOW?
>>3811521It's a meme quest. The Hero finds OTHER ways to get a bunch of souls. My favorite is literally just nuking the areas they live in
that time adventure quest had a collab with a very specific line of children's toothbrush where the toothbrush's gimmick was that it came with stickers to put on your toothbrush
>>3811598aww man I missed out on the rugby nipple armor
AQW labubu collab when?
>>3792451I miss being invested in AE. I have major nostalgia for 2008-2010 when I played every single game they had.

>>3812394I'd recommend joining the Legion so you can get access to Legion Revenant and the Head of the Legion Beast.
>>3812394Get Polly Roger or whatever +30% tagged boost item is available right now. Or go for Ravenous and the +40% tagged boost armor.

>>3812733First, you didn't mention Doomwood Tokens so at worst it's a logic fail not a literacy failIf we're being pedantic, the quest that gives a key requires Trophies, so I'm still more correctSecond, I didn't bother mentioning Tokens since they're easier to get than Combat TrophiesOne of the guides I compiled >>3792566 talks about 1v1 trophies, feel free to read it

>>3801631canadian currency garbage, shipping, also idr but when I bought a membership once there was some kind of stupid added fee too
Non-binary
>>3814401What equipment are you using?>>3814421Non-binary (female)
>>3814744>What equipment are you using?Nothing special. Just some mid-game gear with early forge enchants.I was able to do it first try the first 4-5 times I did it, now I can't do it for whatever reason even after hitting my head at the wall over 30+ deaths.
>>3814858Hmm...Do you recall the specific set-up you used against the Empress Angler? I just go>LR>Pneuma>Elysian>Absolution
>need 200+ blood gems for ravenous questline>just now found out about the daily that gives 7 blood gemschat am i doomed? i don't have the pet either
>>3815760Do hydra scales
>>3815760Do what the other anon says.Bloody Chaos also works if you prefer sitting in the same room.
Finally got Dauntless!
Lich class was easy enough to get. Now to figure out how to actually use it.
>>3817720So far I see no reason to press 2nd skill (it cost mana and is basically warrior double auto attack lul). I would say keep 5 buff up and spam 3/4.Class feels comfy to use in normal contnet, since you basically have death protection most of the time, but idk how good it is in ultras.P.S. I wish they changed pet art too, I like old skelly, but maaaaan I rly wanted new one
>>3817384gj anon!
>>3817784Oh also, class needs elysium like A LOT. If you want to maximize your damage
>>3817720>tfw won't be able to get rep for lich class in timerip me
>>3817784>>3817837From what I've seen online, just spamming 54 53 52 53 52 is the best way to do things. I also used Dauntless over Elysium and Examen for the helm.Pretty nice to have a class that actually cares about mana issues again.
>>3818065hmm Dauntless and using 2. Idk might have to test how much better it is. I just don't rly buy into skill 2 usefulness
>>3815854>>3815894turns out the blood gems weren't the problem.i got super unlucky on unidentified 13 drops so it took me a whole day to get those.now i'm grinding totems of nulgath and this might genuinely take me 2 days to get through.getting ravenous makes the vhl grind feel like a beginner intro quest.
>>3818110Totems without Members are a right pain in the ass.
>>3817784I've heard that they're going to update the pet art next week. Current skelly is just a placeholder.
I miss Shiminuki, I hope he come back!
how many combat trophies do i need to join legion?one guide said i only need 50, but another says i need 200.
These egoists in /grimchallenge make me want to play this game solo.As a new player who doesn't hang around people much, the few interactions I've had have been nothing but pleasant, but this new ultra boss really managed to attract the worst dregs of society into one place.
>>3819004I thought you needed ACs to start the Legion quests?>>3819162Yeah, people either get far too impatient or start believing you're a troll if you mess up. For ultras, I recommend starting out with the easiest roles first (usually a support). Grim Challenge Binky&Raxgore isn't too difficult, fortunately. You just need two people who can taunt, someone who can use Vigil, and supports.
This LQS sucked. Miss me with back to back eastern katana sets
>>3819004The answer is 200, don't forget you can prefarm it and sell armor after you do Fall to The king quest, this will give you back more ACs if you do it same day
>>3819162I wish we had 4chan guild lul (I want to help anons with ultras)
>time to try farm NSoD>need void auras for the hilt>have a few hundred from the 50 void aura daily>check wiki to see how many i will need>2500 VOID AURAS>get 50 void aura from daily>doing the ~6 void aura quest is a 100+ hour grindIs NSoD supposed to be a super end game weapon? Am I supposed to farm other 51%'s in the meantime?
>>3819481You're supposed to get sepulchre armor and speedrun it
>>3819518>summoning sepulchure's armor>legend questSo if you're F2P you're screwed?
>>3819647You're supposed to either be timegated for a month of dailies as f2p or bot really, really hard
>>3819481It's the original 51% weapon, so its requirements are rather absurd. 50 days of dailies is also technically less time than most other 51% weapons, which require weeklies and don't unlock as many other things.I'd recommend getting Exalted Apotheosis while you're farming, too. 28 days of farming, IIRC.
>>3819647Also I suppose you can also farm nulgath's 51% sword in 28 days, logging only four times over four weeks. it's way less active playtime but you gotta have legion materials beforehand ultras weekly
>>3819724>nation materials before handling
>>3819718I have a exalted apotheosis, so I'm looking into getting a second 51% weapon. I figured I'd get a NSoD since it's a requirement for literally half of the 51% weapons in the game, but didn't expect the grind to be that bad.>>3819724Yeah the UltraNulgath sword looks like the easiest one to get. Maybe I'll try to get that one.
>>3819726The Nation materials are the worst part about Sin of the Abyss.NSoD used to not have the daily quest associated with it. You had to power through with the regular Void Aura quest.I'd recommend just doing the dailies and focus on other stuff. If they ever give a boost to Void Auras, do the regular VA farming quest.
>15k more Legion tokens until I'm done with this farmUgh...
>>3820040Just wait till token boost, or is it still up?
>>3820042I just need 5 more Dage insignias, so I might as well finish the grind now so I can also grind LTs for my next target.
>>3820049Do you need help with Dage?
>>3820057Nah, I can kill him pretty easily as long as my teammates aren't dumb. I can even solo taunt him with CAv
>>3819481The benifit of NSoD is that it leads to other 51% weapons. Dual Necrotic Swords of Doom, Burning Sword of Doom, Necrotic Blade of Doom, Necrotic Blade of the Underworld, Necrotic Sword of the Abyss, Hollowborn Sword of Doom all req. you to have it. But it is hardest to farm for F2P folks. We do have a lot more choices: Higure, Entwined Eclipse, ShadowFlame Blade, Sin of the Abyss, Exalted Apotheosis, Star Light of the Empyrean + some OG item ones.Anyway I think for F2P easiest one is new Gramiel one, if you are leveled enough to do that ultra. Since other items for it are rly easy to get.
>>3820064Legit the only thing that is hard for Gramiel weapon is waiting month and a half of weekly ultra resets. The boss iteself is ez once you understand how he works
>>3820064 (Me)Oh also other two 51% that are ez to farm are Exalted Apotheosis and Sin of the Abyss imo
>>3820066Gramiel is probably the second hardest if your team is retarded, though.
>>3820064>>3820066Just watched a Gramiel guide. It looks pretty easy - just loop taunting the whole time.I'm just worried because sometimes my game bugs and doesn't show the taunt icon under the enemy, and I have no idea what causes it or how to fix it.
>>3820354The solution is simple, find GOD player who counts taunts for Gramiel for everyoneFor crystals you just check the yellow text on the screen
>trying to get 3 nerfkitten kills for vdk
>>3820469Need help, anon?
>>3820354>>3820413You have to alternate for crystals, same as the eclipse bosses. Gram phase 2 everyone can sort of just spam taunt, with normal team DPS you can get through phases without trouble.
is there a guide on consumables anywhere?from what i understand: you can drink one 'elixir' and one 'tonic' for stat boosts (i think?), then you can keep a 'potion' on your hotbar since they have short cooldowns (though most ultras need you to have a specific scroll or consumable to survive the fight, so i hardly ever get to use potions at all).what consumables should i be using though?also what's the difference between 'healing potential' and 'heal power'?
>>3821053As long as the final word is different, it should stack, IIRC.
>enter boss room>get 3 people>just need 1 more>1 person leaves>other person leaves>a new person joins>leaves because there's only 2 of us here>leaves instantly>one person comes back>leaves again>another person comes back>stays long enough to get a full group>1 person is afk from waiting>the other 2 leaveAGHHHHHHHH I'M GOING INSANEEEEEEEWHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE ADHD?

THEY KEEP JOINING THEN LEAVING AFTER 30 SECONDS THEN JOINING AGAIN AND THE CYCLE REPEATS BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO WAIT MORE THAN 10 SECONDSIT TOOK 45 MINS TO GET A FULL GROUP, AND IT WAS ALL THE SAME PEOPLE WHO KEPT JOINING AND LEAVING

>>3821330>The EmpressAll of the Arcana really, but Empress does seem to be the most flirtatious one>Kathool & AdimondeMostly just to troll (You), but Adimonde implied he also wished to ascend like Kathool>Masks of Infamy, Tranquility, LawMostly Infamy and Law; Tranquility is chill even when we do retarded shitTBF we did retcon their timelines and left them in the shed, the seethe is understandable>The Bright OneI think we also made Aranx ours in the Celestial Saga finale, so TBO can't use him?>The Astral EmpyreanThe White Tiger event mentioned the mirror realm egg, so Dragon of Space soon?Forgot the Speakers; Vohu, Haurvat, and especially Malgor all have Electra/Oedipus complexNeso/VitS had a women moment after getting exposed and tried to flood everythingDage/The Beast if you count them; Nulgath not as much since he's busy with AdimondeAlso, the Eclipse Ascent WMAF couple enjoys trolling Yokai Isles with their blessings
>>3821533I left out the Speakers since they were created loving (You), while the others I mentioned are independent of (You)r existence.I like how Kathool is just in trolling mode 24/7. Even its Ultra Boss fight ends with it going "Did you enjoy the simulation?"Your picture really makes me wonder what would have happened if Iona found out your true identity. Seeing her start to worship you instead would have been funny. I guess we can add the Cold Thunder to this list, then?
>>3821507>It's partly because of the auto-kicking so you can't AFK and wait without movingInfinite hatred towards the people who bot solely to AFK in ultra rooms
>>3821330>>3821533>>3821557I forgot how big AQW lore is lul.So sad there aren't any YouTube videos or at least structured lore website with it. But it would take some kind of next level autism to do those, that's prob why
>>3821614I'd make some if I wasn't lagging behind in college
Got Sin of the Underworld
>>3821773congrats, anon!what are you grinding next?
Just started LR grind, and from what I understand I need 10 exalted crowns, 20 revenant spellscrolls, 6 conquest wreaths.Which of the materials are worth grinding, and which ones should I just buy with ultradage insignias?Also I have 1,100 ACs leftover after joining legion. What should I spend/save them for next?
Is this class worth getting at all? And what are your favourite more niche picks for both solo and support classes?
>>3821884speaking of niche classes - why are some classes outright unplayable on high level content? i thought that the whole point of enchantments was to make every class viable at every level, but that isn't the case at all. even with forge enchants, a huge chunk of classes have 0 dps vs high level bosses.
>>3821870Have you sold armor after completing quest (fall to the king)? Or 1 day already passed?
>>3821935I sold it.
>>3821894>why are some classes outright unplayable on high level content?We just don't know, no one can figure it out.
>>3821940It's a mystery for the ages.
>>3821857Underworld Sword of Doom shouldn't be too hard. I just need another 25k tokens and one more Dage weekly. Already have all of the Soul Sand and Beast Souls.>>3821870If you're willing to engage in even more Legion farming, I'd recommend one of the pets. I think they're usually around 2k ACs?As for the LR grind, I recall the wreaths being the most annoying. I got LR before you could trade in Ultras, though.>>3821894Like with most live service games, powercreep. There's also the "early game unit" curse where they made something before knowing what the "meta" would be. Most of the "can't solo" classes just lack some form of sustain or damage negation. Dauntless is usually able to "fix" these classes, though your DPS will still be tiny.Some classes are also intentionally low tier, i.e. Rustbucket or Barber.
>>3821884Not from what I have tested. He's too slow, there's an ESL guy (Wahzzers) on YouTube who used him vs ultras, it did fine but nothing amazing.My fav niche pick is Eternal Inversionsist with Dauntless + Vim helm + Lament cape vs rooms with 6 or more enemies. And Dauntless Scarlets Sorceress also becomes an amazing farmer.>>3821894Some classes are just too old to fix. Forge Enchantments mostly help some of mid game to low end game classes. The only early game class I can think of that becomes lowkey busted is Ninja lul. The thing is: forge can make your class rly close to 100% dodge rate, and if you got a dodge class it's even better.
>>3822019>EI chadbased. it's my go-to farming class for big rooms.
>>3821557Well, The Bright One was born when Galanoth killed us to retcon the timelinesSo it's really our fault for not giving it parental discipline earlier like the SpeakersCold Thunder counts if we are talking about Abel, bro is literally stanning (You)>>3821884>Is [Elemental Warrior] class worth getting at all?I have it, it's a decent lategame class with some endgame nichesIt's main niche is having decent DPS, ranged skills, and short CDsWhich makes it good for general questing and as a single-target farmerThe guy who made the KPM spreadsheet >>3792566 constantly shills this classGet it if you got membership or an extra bonus package, not worth for ACsHere's a guide with recommended enhancements and combos if you're interested:https://www.aqwhub.com/class-usage-guides/legendary-elemental-warrior/>What are your favourite more niche picks for...classesLegendary Hero wherever I need to support, especially for "invisible" bossesSentinel or Guardian for killing bosses, usually Guardian if there's peopleAI, DragonLord, or Elemental Warrior depending on what I'm farming.>>3822019The problem with Elemental Warrior is that it needs endgame Forge to really shineBy the time you can get those enhancements, other classes perform similarly or betterWhich is why you only see it mentioned for lategame progression or farming KPM>Dauntless, Dauntless, DauntlessDauntless shows how strong haste and, to a lesser extent, crit chance is for farming
>>3822068>Dauntless shows how strong haste and, to a lesser extent, crit chance is for farmingFor Eternal Inversionsist its also Lifesteal, but I won't deny haste + crit also help a lot. I just listed the build because it's the most brainded and fastest way to farm 6 mobs (also I only listed 2 classes with Dauntless, not 3!)
>>3822138 (Me)But fine, I will list 3rd Dauntless class I use. It's ArchFiend : )I have Arcana Invoker, but sometimes I feel like ArchFiend does better vs 2 mobs (it's all in my head)
She smells
>>3821884Agree with >>3822068 anon on Sentinel. I think some people just missed the buffs or something but this one legit hits like a truck rn.Other picks for solo would be: 1. Legion DoomKnight as the only class with 10-second decay, I think. 2. LightCaster for sentimental reasons, since I used it back when it came out while not bothering to farm harder classes for a while.As for support, I think Frostval Barbarian is underrated. When it was used I don't think I ever saw my or anyone's else mana drop EVER. I know SC also has mana help, but it's in form of mana regain not reducing costs. Also the HoT and Crit buffs of this class are much better comapred to SC.It does have two big issues: no Haste for allies, no damage reduction for allies, which makes it worse choice for a lot of ultras
>>3821557>>3822068If we're stretching the definition of "gods" to really powerful beings, we're Volgritian's saviour and therapist:>Though Volg, as you've started calling him, isn't ready to speak aloud yet, the two of you are able to communicate through glances alone>The Great Dragon of Energy doesn't want to be regarded by Dragons or Humans, but you're an exception.>As he is now, Volgritian knows he'll be ridiculed...You, his savior, are one of the few that he can completely trust>Since he insisted on going with you, the once prideful Dragon will have to put up with being disguised as an extremely scary horse>He thought he'd hate owing his life to another, but Volg wants to help you.

>>3822301>Lady Celestia x (You)Holy based. Supported it since DragonFable.
Maya LOVE
>>3822317GILF
>>3822388Indeed.
Thoughts?
>>3822411I don't know what they're talking about without context, but the start of Darkon Saga was pretty meh honestly. The last parts once you're beyond the "spooky" villages and muh drama or intrigue were the best bits, when it's just the actual characters clashing and putting it on the line at the end. The rest is just the usual build up they always do in the game, only this time with more blatant body horror.Drago was pretty neat too, I guess.
>>3822138>>3822146Oh, I just wrote Dauntless thrice since it looked/sounded better, but technically EW also prefers Dauntless for farming.IMO AI feels a bit awkward since it switches between buff and unbuffed states, sometimes I forget to use The World lolActually, looking at the Farming KPMs here >>3792566, AF seems close to AI and it doesn't have the pre-buff startup.>>3822274The class designer even wrote a whole ass backstory in the description and commissioned this art of their Sentinel waifuAlso, SC does have mana cost reduction, but only 20%. Though it's not like SC is meta for most Challenge/Ultra bossesLoO (& LR) is more meta and overlaps with SC too much. Plus, Glac(eran/ial) Warlord has better buffs and more damage
>>3822417Damn cool art, it was after the rework, I assume? Is it Lettuce guy? I think I saw him explaining class under some video, like rotation and stuff
I HATE THAT I HAVE TO EQUIP POTS INTO 6TH SLOT AND UNEQUIP SCROLLS...AE, ALLOW US TO JUST USE POTS FROM INVENTORY OR GIVE US MORE HOTKEYSI rly hope they fix that in infinity
>>3822411Truth nukeVoice in the Sea, Doom Triad, Cold Thunder, Atlas, other sagas have all followed the formula of introducing a new obviously evil character and then revealing that they were evil.Even though the story is significantly better than with previous writers, I finally understand the people who were mad that Serenity dies in DF. Cylisse kills off unused characters in very abrupt ways, but because they weren't story-relevant, it never really ends up mattering. Not to mention the weird fan trolling/sepulchurecel shit.
>>3822655I have a sinking feeling that Maya is going to die in this questline. Warlic already technically died.
Is there a guide for the order of main story sagas? I need to catch up and learn the major plot points they keep referencing. The ingame one just stops mid sepulchure flashback saga.
>>3822845https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G1Jjb9WHKOIaOqv9tHUisXxpIiOM6h-7cd9xiMiNbFs/edit?usp=sharing
I wish there were any guides fro chronos.Last frostval I got 6k ACs and was thinking if I even should get a chrono or save for Infinity.The thing is I got every other class and every forge enchantment. All the guides or tier lists I found seem too old...Any anons here willing to help?
>>3823311Most I can help with is SSoT
>>3823313>SSoTOh I think I worded it wrong, I need help with which class to pick
>>3823316It depends on what you're looking for>SSoT is amazing for solo enounters>QCM has insane DPS, especially in a party>PCM is one of the best support classes in the gameI recall seeing a video breaking down what each Chrono excels at, but I'll have to find it again
>>3823318
>>3823318A closed time-like curve?!
>>3823317I was thinking TK is rly good with Forge tooAnd CSSr if you have good ping
>>3823318(You) are the Dragon of Time
>>3823311Chrono Shadow(Slayer/Hunter) is generally considered the best class in the game currentlyIt can solo, dodge, farm, bypass boss shields, and has a fast nuke cycle. Hello power creepDownside is being more complicated than braindead TK/CMP and being sensitive to latency>>3823318You doing ok in the closed time loop, Malgor?
>>3823335I see, latency might be a problem But I guess I'll pick between SSoT, QCM, PCM, Chrono Shadow and TK. Just need to make up my mindIs Phantasm Chronomancer = TK but bettter?
>>3823335NTA, but do you think AE will nerf CSS? I think I heard them nerfing chrono before (it was something about taunt)

>>3826890Solo taunt CAv (with a team that isn't filled with retards) makes Ultra Dage a joke
>>3826892it really does. i wonder why no one ever wants to do it. it's easier than supporting.
>>3826899Many people don' know how to taunt.Speaking of taunting, time to try to kill Malgor again today...
>>3826901i can taunt ok but ultraspeaker is very daunting with its spreadsheet taunt guides.so much so that i'm making my life harder by playing without dauntless instead of just learning to do a kill for it.
>>3826918I'd recommend just playing SC or LoO while doing Malgor. He's honestly not too hard.>Opening taunts (LR on Truth, LoO on Listen)>SC/AP zones followed by Truth, Listen, Truth>LR/LoO zones followed by Listen, Truth, Truth, Listen>Repeat
>>3826919i've been seeing pic related used as reference for the fight a lot.why are the taunts here: truth - AP / listen - SC / truth - SCinstead of alternating (truth - AP / listen - SC / truth - AP)?is it because listen -> truth is less than 10 seconds inbetween so the SC taunt carries over into the next attack?
>>3826918it isn't if someone is counting zones and you only look at your part in the sheet>>3826924Not rly sure, but it works lul (also vdk is better than sc I belive)
>>3826924AP taunt would not be ready when the next truth comes.
>>3826931so i should vdk instead of sc if loo is taken? does it matter when i use decay?>>3826932the format just confuses be because the first SC/AP loop is:>SC/AP/SC/SCthen the second SC/AP loop is:>AP/AP/SC/SCi know everyone has to alternate between the red zone, but why not just have the first taunt loop be like the second one in that case (SC/SC/AP/AP)?
>>3826937You don't taunt on zone, you only taunt on Listen and Truth (Equal is basically zone)This video has better sheet imohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXcYYvai7U0
>>3826937you can vdk if you don't trust LR's decay, since vdk 5th skill is also decay and you use decay on zones (if you're fast) or time it after words (should be around 2-3 seconds)
>>3826937Like the other anon said, you only taunt during Listen or Truth. Equal just requires you to stand in the zone. As such, the SC/AP loop is>AP taunts Truth>SC taunts Listen>SC taunt lasts long enough to tank the second Truth>LR or LoO zones

Why is this thread so alive? Did something big happen?
>>3827084I didn't even know thread for AQW was in here lul.I was told by anon in /lcg/ this place exist (if you are here, thanks!)
>>3827084no we're just lonely and have no frens so we talk to our frens on 4chan
>>3826879>Also new free rare Scythe looks coolsauce on where to get it?also how long do rares take to farm? i farmed http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/mikoto-kukol-nyy for a whole day (literally a whole day) and never got a single one of the 4 rares.
>>3827127>sauce on where to get it?It's a new soon to be rare, just check the new releases for stuff like that. Also you can reverse image search images that look like like that because they're probably just from the wiki.>for a whole day (literally a whole day) and never got a single one of the 4 rares.Anon, I...
>>3827146>Anon, I...d-don't tell me it's that bad... i thought rares were like 1% drops...
>>3827127>mikoto-kukol-nyyOk the reason you didn't get anything is the following: when item on the wiki has Rare green tag on top of the page you can't get it anymore.The new and rare items you can still get just have Rare next to Rarity: The scythe you can get from /join ebondungeon. Drops from Dethrix
>>3827161oh, so the 'rare' tag means that after the limited run the item will never come back again?i thought it just meant the item was a 'rare drop'...
>>3827164Rare means it's no longer available once they remove it (although you can typically use the item of donated awesomeness to get them still), Seasonal means it'll be available only during specific events like Christmas. And Unassigned/Unknown means they haven't decided whether it's rare or not yet. Those are the only tags that matter, everything else is just flavour for describing how hard it is to get or telling you that it's a paypig class from buying something irl with Heromart.Sadly you spent the whole day killing it for no reason, anon.
>>3827164Yeah all Rare items go away forever after some time and only come back in reskins or you can buy them with IoDA (basically whale thing that allows you to get old items that are no longer there)
>>3827174There is also Event Rare (idk if they still do that), some of the old items I still have from They Might Be Giants event have that tag (I miss those days...)
>>3827179 (Me)But I guess those also count as Rare items
>>3827174>>3827175how do you know if an item will turn rare in the future then?http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/shadowreaper-s-scythe doesn't have a tag, but the anon earlier said that the item will be a rare.
>>3827179>>3827182Yeah, they're basically just rares tied to events. There's lots of variety in normal tags too like Weird, Junk, Epic, Awesome, Legendary, etc but they just mean the same thing. It's all kind of arbitrary, but it used to confuse me all the time back then because Rarity is the same as something being Rare in normal English. I missed getting and sold a bunch of items because of that misinterpretation, including robo chassis and some Nulgath vs Dage war items.
>>3827185Location: Ebonslate DungeonPrice: N/A (Dropped by Dethrix (Level 75))Sellback: 0 ACRarity: Rare Rarity (THIS)Base Damage: 27-33Description: Send your enemies to the deepest, darkest pit of despair!
>>3827185It does have a Rare tag there, but that scythe is tied to the treasure quests they do periodically to drum up players and they're always only available for a limited time.Check the design notes every update, anon.
>>3827186This was my main armor for a loooong time. The only problem is that you can't really make sets with it. The only parts you could swap are weapons and capes, SINCE THE HEAD ON THAT THING IS MASSIVE... no helmet would fit except the original one, lul.
>>3827192Man I didn't even know you could get non AC items.So tempting.
>>3827216Don't, as I said you will never find good helm for it, but you can check other gold armors, there are some gems there
Speaking of IoDA and MIoDAI would probably get one of those armors: Fear's Garb, Corpse Knight, Lich (Armor), Oversoul Minion, Undead UndeadSlayer, Undead Pirate Curse As you can see all skeleton themed, since AE rarely does those ones nowadays.What are some old rare items anons here would use their IoDAs and MIoDAs on?
>>3827224As a Chaos Chad(contrarian), that honestly just makes me want to prove you wrong and find a set that matches.
>>3827236I mean maybe you can find something rare and old that matches. But imo it's not worth it to spend multiple IoDAs on stuff like that
>>3827237Depends on your situation. For me I have a 1000+ items in the bank and have been present for most of the collection chests, I don't care about popular rares like owning Beta Berserker and I don't need farming pets like the Legion ones (which were probably powercrept anyway).Only thing left is buying for nostalgia or fashion for me.
>>3827238I mean I'm in the same boat, but I think there are better choices than this armor. But desu it might just be because of how long I used it for. Also I HATE that AE still didn't fix most robe armors, like they look awful while running...
>>3827093>/lcg/Hah, didn't expect that to be mentioned.>>3827242The main reason why I didn't use Karok's armor after getting it. Why am I swinging my arms? Just make it look like I'm floating!

>>3827735i don't lurk discords so my only chance of getting a group from ultras is in a public room on artix
>>3827750Just ask anons here : )
Is there some special gimmick way to use Bananach's Last Will for the Cold Thunder boss? The game won't let me even consume the potion so I can't beat the boss at all. I tried a bunch of stuff like re-equipping, clearing the cache, server hopping, etc.
>>3827857no, you just use it when it says the skies rumble. it's the same as using vigil.
>>3827857Did you try unequipping, swapping your class, swapping back, and reequipping?
>>3827879>>3827882I don't know what happened honestly, but a bunch of people I assume were bots because they didn't ever use the item to survive the rumbling thunder came in and started farming fast enough to kill her before she ever used that attack (most of the time). Finally almost caught up on the main story so I can start trying to figure out how to beat the hard content like the Iona Challenge or grinding for items while I wait for story updates.
>>3827907I hope we get more stuff like the Iona challenge or Grim Skull Dungeon. I like being able to do things without relying on a team.1v1 duels are kind of like dates when they're with a pretty girl, right?
I want more forge stuff : (I have too many 51% weapons, need new enchantments to put on them!
>>3827919Which Forge enhancements are you missing?
>>3827921None, I have them all. I want more because they keep releasing new 51% weapons and I have no use for them : (
>>3827922Same...What niche could they even make now?
>>3827925Well... we have dauntless as Fighter enhancement representative and Elysium for Wiz. Now just make forge end game ones based on Thief, Healer, Hybrid and SPELLBREAKER and we goodOr just make dauntless for wiz : )
>>3827930Dauntless for Wizards would certainly help HBV, Lich, LR, etc
>>3827925Just a reminder: no enhancement activates on 4th skill YETAlso if they rly wanted to experement, they could have made an enhancement that adds +1/2 target AoE for autos for any class. That could be a fun thing to break
>>3827925So far, we have...>Elysium - Healing, magic damage, S3>Dauntless - Lifesteal, crit and haste, S2>Ravenous - %HP damage boost, S1>Valiance - Huge base stat boost, S1>Acheron - Huge magic damage boost at the cost of a potent DoT, S3>Praxis - Just parry, LOL, S2>Smite - Big damage, S5>Lacerate - Okay debuffs, S2>Arcana's Concerto - Stacking defense debuffs, S1>Forge - ForgeIf we include Awe Enhancements...>HP Vamp - Chance to heal on S1>Mana Vamp - Chance to restore more mana on S1>Awe Blast - Chance to lower defenses on S1>Powerword: Die - Tiny chance to do insane damage on S1>Spiral Carve - Chance to increase crit chance on S1
>>3827908I hope they update the UI so I can tell what's happening with buff and debuffs better. Once you reach the 70% mark it's easy to not notice that your polarity is reversed even though you've got the yellow circle for like 3-4 seconds because it ramps up so much and that you can't miss a heal or buff/debuff. It's hard to tell when you're actually weakened enough die in general, not to mention it being a bit unclear what your own class or room members are doing. Pretty frustrating to die when she's got like 100k left.But I'm not used to mmo style gameplay, so maybe that's just me. Perhaps I should go figure out what looks like 100+ requirements for the other Forge enhancements for a big boost first or something.
>>3826879IIRC CSS/H is around SS/WoT and CMP's DPS, but it can bypass boss shields and has a fast nuke cycle>>3826924https://www.aqwhub.com/ultra-guides/ultra-speaker/This guide has the explanation and updated charts, 3 Man Taunt is better since the DPS can use a potWhich means a faster kill and less likely someone fucks up, but for pubs I doubt they will pot>>3827925We have Ravenous for Nation, so eventually they should make a Forge enhancement for Legion too>>3827947Elysium also gives mana & 10% damage boost, hence why DoT and low-tier classes use often use itRavenous was lacklustre when it was just %HP damage, had to switch some of it for direct (de)buffsThe haste and debuffs are actually very strong due to spaghetti code, they're thinking of a rework(nerf):https://www.aq.com/gamedesignnotes/AQW-6Jan24-DevBlog4-9832
>>3828023I don't think it will be nerfed that devblog was like a year ago... Knowing how many times they lied about bringing/changing stuff, I'm not surprised>>3828010Yeah the forge is kind of big game changer. AQWhub has progression order for them and which items they need + usecases.P.S. I'm still mad they didn't give Hearty any special effs...
>>3828038 (ME)>HeartyMaybe like small Lich rank 10 passive with longer cd, or some sort of HoT eff depending on current HP %... Hell if they don't want special effs, make it +10% Damage Resistance
>>3828038https://www.aqwhub.com/other-guides/forge-guide/Yeah, I found the guide. Luckily I already have some it like EDoT, Sepulchure Helm, Drakath armour, a few of the 1% drops, etc so I can get the easier ones done without too much trouble. Dunno about the ones that need Ultras or Azalith kills though.
>>3828051You know where to ask for help : )
>>3828010I just want them to have a unique place for the Taunt debuff so that I don't have to manually track where it is when I'm trying to loop my taunts
The writers really love Tara, I wonder why...
>finally unlocking forge enhancements>now need to have 4-5 weapons/helmets/capes (not including the element-specific gear)>have to switch gear with every class change>too many enhancements to remember so have to keep checking wiki/guides each time i switch>using a new class is even more stressful because you have to check what the gear does and what gear to usenot to mention my 90 slot inventory being on its last legs...
>>3828458You ARE using the Outfits tab, right?
>>3828460no, what are those?
>>3828461This thing
>>3828475there's not enough slots for every class, and i still have to switch out to different enhancements depending on what i do - or if i die to easily since a lot of the enhancements make you take more damage.also my inventory is still full...
>>3828482I usually only have my main classes (LR, AI, CAv, etc) in Outfits alongside their enhancements.Do you have a bank pet? Are you storing your AC tagged stuff in the bank?
>>3828458You can try associating the item itself with the enhancement effect so you can zoom through your inventory mentally speaking IE enchant the shield or armoured weapon/capes with the defensive enchantments, EDoT enchantments placed on Eternal Dragon themed gear, Legion Revenant enhancements go on Legion equipment only, etc. Or failing that, simplify all your builds. Have only the most fun classes saved + 1 permanent slot for your absolute best current DPS, best Support build and best Tank/Taunt/survival build. You only need the most used stuff saved, the rest you can change into when you're bored.It's the best you can do, because let me tell you it doesn't get better even with 480 inventory slots and it gets a hundred times worse when you add in all the items you need to gather for quests. I definitely would love more outfit slots so I can actually save all my outfits, colour schemes, alternative versions, etc.
>>3828621no bank pet and all of my unused AC items are in the bank>>3828862that's a good idea. maybe i'll do that. but items with damage/misc. effects won't really fit any 'theme'>it doesn't get better even with 480 inventory slotsi can imagine... every new event that comes brings a cool non-AC tagged item that i really want to keep, but my bank is already too full, so i end up having to sacrifice one cosmetic for another.
LEGION FARMING WITHOUT A PET. ALMOST HAVE ENOUGH FOR YAMI.
>>3828975Then it's time for you to become autistic and make an AQW class spreadsheet, anon. Write down every single enhancement set up you use alongside the reasoning behind the choices, all separated by categories like DPS or Support. Or just give up and use a few classes only.
>>3829044bwo just wait till birthday and get free pet with 2 000 LT
>>3829094>just wait till birthdayIsn't that like 6 months away? That's a very long wait.
>>3828975I'd recommend buying a bank pet, desu. Gives you a more QoL by just having it in your inventory.
>>3829168No need to if you have AC package bonus in acc management (you should have 1 if you ever got mem or ac with money)
why are people telling me to not use shaman on the daily void bosses?someone else told me that shaman negates dodge (>pic related) and those bosses have high dodge chance, so i've been using it for the dailies since - it feels like a one of the best classes to use here, no? but now people are telling me to switch to support (meanwhile they run classes like archfiend or vhl and refuse to support).
>>3829455People in general refuse to see new classes (which is sad, beacuse some of the new strats are much more optimal to kill the bosses), they also are selfish so won't switch to supp themselves
>>3829455I imagine the majority of people don't actually know most class skills, enhancements or what the bosses do most of the time (like me), so they just do the rotations + use the ones known to work even if it takes longer. Like you can fight the 1,000,000 HP bosses without stuff like Horc Evader, but it's more consistent.
>>3829757I used to spend an hour on tough bosses with necromancer even after I got archpaladin. Sticking with what you know is often easier.
When I try to access my character page its says they're wandering the void. What does that mean? Did I lose my character since I haven't played in ages?
>>3828038Doubting AE's ability to procrastinate and delay?

Only Flibbitiestgibbet is a dodge boss (Shaman is acceptable in Xyfrag and Nightbane) and it has this
>>3829845I think you can still acces it, I was told it's like a hibernation state (but I would advise you to try log in into it asap and probably look for mail settings)>>3829852Well if Ravenous would be a minimal nerf as it was with Dauntless (it was what?

>TLaPD is coming up>Not even halfway done farming for HigureWhy is Astravia farming so boring...
>>3829852>Only Flibbitiestgibbet is a dodge bossthat's not true. nightbane dodges a lot, especially in blood frenzy, and shaman completely negates the crit and dodge of nightbane's blood frenzy. that's why i was confused - because someone was telling me not to use shaman on nightbane specifically, when i'd argue it's one of the best classes to use for that boss.>Applies Blood Frenzy to Nightbane, increasing Crit Chance by 5000% and Dodge by 150% for 8 seconds.

I did some more research and it turns out I'd need 7.5k-8.5k void auras for NSoD... That's 5 months of dailies (not including gifting Gravelyn - not sure how much you get from her per day), or approx. 300+ hours of retrieving void auras (-16 hours for every 2x void auras day, assuming I grind for 8 hours on those days).I really wanted it, since it has a lot of cool appearances and half of that 51% weapons in the game are derivced from it, but getting NSoD as F2P really feels hopeless.Unless there are other ways of getting void auras that I'm missing?
>>3830922Sometimes they do void aura boosts, but idk if dailies count there.Yeah without bot and without SDKA (mem) it will take you long time, at least you have dailies now, before it was even harder.
>>3830922As someone who did it without dailies, I think it took me ~6 months to fully get the NSoD. I'd highly recommend saving your energy for VA boost days so you don't burn yourself out.
>>3830922All the earlier farms and ones similar to them like Darkon stuff are dreadful because they're just that, farming the same items until you have a truckload. The new shopping list approach isn't perfect either, but it at least has you going to different places and fighting different things. Personally I never farm stuff from places like Nulgath or Legion because of that (also because their items are mostly the same aesthetic).
>>3830959>>3830984>void aura boostsI just checked the last boost and it was 10x/12x/14x void auras.Maybe there's a little bit of hope. I think next month might have a VA boost.>>3831084I like the 'shopping list' items a lot more, because you get to visit new areas and do questlines you might have missed. I didn't mind the Nulgath/Legion stuff because it wasn't anywhere near as bad as NSoD - you could get any 'goal' finished in less than a week, not within 5-6 months.
>>3831156It's not so much a matter of difficulty or even time spent, but the interactions. Most of the bosses in farms like Eternal Dragon of Time are easy too, but they do require or at least provide incentives to change up how you play (at least if you're not already at basically endgame) even if that's only something minor like using a 100% dodge class to fight the Griffon boss. Compared to something like Darkon Bananas or farming Escherion for Nulgath where there's absolutely zero thought whatsoever because the enemy dies in one hit, you're basically just waiting at that point and might as well bot it for the same experience. That being said, it's all kind of arbitrary grinding in the end I guess.Also they have a calendar you can check for boosts and release days, Void Auras are next Thursday by their timezone.https://www.artix.com/calendar
>>3831163>Void Auras are next ThursdayTIME TO FARM 8K VOID AURAS IN A DAY!!!
>>3830717>in a 7-player roomi'd be lucky to get 5 players in a room when i do my dailies>It isn'twhat are the better classes to use for the void bosses then?
LR unlocked!I tried taunting bosses as LR, but I just got 1-hit killed. Am I supposed to be wearing any specific gear when I taunt as LR?
>>3831190Gj anon!Which boss?Also penti cape helps
>>3831228ultra nulgath : (
>>3831178NTA but I like using Legion Doomknight on Nightbane, always clear it 1st time with it (10 seconds is longest decay in game so no way you'll fuck that up especially with some forge)
>>3831230It could have been blade because your other DPS didn't focus it, but if it was nulghath.. remember you need to loop taunt on him with another guy
>>3831232I don't think it was the blade. The fight had just started and I was taunting, then I got nuked 100 to 0 in a second. I wasn't wearing any enhancements that lower my vitality either.
>>3831234If so it's definitely loop taunt problem, blame other taunter
Is Gold Coin Ground Rune the most expensive item in gold cost? Or are there others like that?(the cost is around 100 mil I belive)
>>3831491I think getting the items from Lumina Elementi costs ~120 million gold in total, if that counts.
>>3831496Yeah that counts, just checking if I missed any hard gold farmsAlso I'm still missing you mad bro badge... I hate that shit
Never finished the first orb saga in Dragonfable, but it's pretty fun going back with a dragon amulet. I feel like there's always at least 5 extra regular enemies in every mission than there should be however.How are you supposed to get relevant equipment for your level in this? Seems like item drops are mostly random and/or useless and shop items cost an arm.I know I can wear whatever helms or weapons I want visually, but is there any way I can still wear my mage robes visually while using other class skills like Necro too?
>>3832197I think the inventory has Outfit slots on the bottom right.As for equipment, I honestly just bought the Doomknight set and got my beloved NSoD. I don't even care that it's $75
>>3832207>I think the inventory has Outfit slots on the bottom right.They don't seem to work with Armour even if you do actually have one in your inventory. I get why I suppose since they have unique animations, but my autism really wants the standard hero mage aesthetic for the cutscenes. >bought the Doomknight setI'm not buying that no matter how cool doomknights are, my friend.
>>3832246Oh, please don't think I was telling you to buy it. I recognize that it's a horrible waste of money.
>>3792451Artix games still popular?
>>3832318Not really. AQW and AQ3D have good numbers for what they are, but nothing amazing. They're mostly games that survive on a small but consistent and dedicated fanbase, that's probably not going to change because the Mobile/Steam port isn't ever happening at this point.Dragonfable still has players too I suppose, but everything else is mostly dead in the water. Except maybe Epic Duel, I have absolutely no idea what the deal is with that game.
>>3832197I want to play through DF when I get enough money for a dragon amulet.Hope you're having fun, anon.
>>3833098Can you play DF without amulet or is it a must have? I only plyaed AQW and mem there is not that important, so I wonder if it's different in other AE games
>>3833130It's probably still playable, but from what I remember from when I played as a kid there was A LOT of content gated behind DA.AQW on the other hand is probably the most forgiving F2P model that I've seen.
>>3833098It sucks. Gnomes are the worst, I hate minigames, there's way too many regular enemies, the first Saga has all the combat play out the same way and I have no idea what's happening because the main timeline they give you is only the most important events. It's still fun, but definitely tedious and confusing.>>3833130I don't know know about must have, I haven't really come across that many quests locked to DA along the main path yet and the ones I did don't seem important. You lose out on your dragon pet who is extremely good + I'm pretty sure story relevant Dragon vs Titan combat (or at least all of the dragon skills). You get Dragonlord class with the amulet and a lot of equipment drops you get will be unusable without it, but it isn't really mandatory.
>>3807247NuDoom lacks the sustain and is merely "excellent damage" rather than "DOOOM" damage
Speaking about membership in other AE games, the 3 ones that give you classes are DF, AQ and Mech Quest, right? I heard they buffed Guardian class and made it pseudo Chrono, is that true? And also, any of those classes worth it with forge enchantments?
>>3833395 (Me)Oh just checked apparently Guardian gets special buffs with Spiral Carve and awe blast, that's cool
>>3833305>I have no idea what's happening because the main timeline they give you is only the most important eventsHave you tried checking >>3792566 for a guide on what quests to do in what order? https://cedrei.github.io/DragonFableStoryGuide/ looks like it might be useful, but I can't really tell from a glance.I know AQW has a pastebin of all of the questlines in chronological order, including the non-mainline quests.
>>3833399do the buffs make it worth using spiral carve/awe blast over forge enhancements?
>>3833520Awe blast seems more like a bad thing to have with that class, the buff is meh (especially in party) and you consume it from the enemy. Spiral carve on the other hand seems rly good, idk how often do you get it from skill 2, since I don't own the class, but if it's every time you use the skill, it's busted.
>>3833900Moglin hatred is a good thing.
>>3827375are they using ruffle? or their own solution? dev tools still flash?
>>3833900punt moglins, freeze moglins, roundhouse kick moglins into a lycan den, slam dunk a moglin's fish into the trash can, crucify filthy vampiric moglins, turn moglins into food, launch moglins into the sun, stir fry moglins in a wok, toss moglins into active volcanoes, urinate into moglin's steam powered tank, Judo throw moglins into a wood chipper, twist moglin heads off, report moglins to the Jus Divinum, karate chop moglins in half, curb stomp female moglins, trap moglins in quicksand, Crush moglins in the trash compactor, liquify moglins in a vat of acid, eat moglins, dissect moglins, exterminate moglins in the gas chamber, stomp moglin skulls with dragonlord boots, cremate moglins in the oven, lobotomized moglins, mandatory abortions for moglins, grind moglin fetuses in the garbage disposal, drown moglins in fried chickencow grease, vaporize moglins with Shadowscythe rayguns, kick old moglins down the stairs, feed moglins to zards, slice moglins with a katana.
I got a cool staff from wheel of doom.
>Trying to do Ultra Speaker>Non-English speaker who doesn't know how to tauntAhhhhh........
>>3834204You should make room and ask anons here : )
Void aura boost is up!I'll get 6k void auras today!
>>3834626Gl with that!
>>3834673I'm averaging 60 void auras per hour! It's hopeless!
logged into my level 20 aqw account from when i was a kidare there any good early game (solo) classes that i can easily get?
>>3834794Check aqw hub website, a lot of info there. You should have access to High Seas commander, which is nice dodge solo class. Make sure to get Awe enchantments asap too. If you are willing to farm reputation classes, you should check Shaman (arcangrove), and Master ranger (Sandsea). If you are willing to farm and ask for help on some harder bosses or level up, look into Lord of order and Arch Paladin.
>>3834819 (Me)Oh and don't waste Adventure coins on classes. The only ones that are ok to use ACs on are the Chrono classes (6k ACs) and Light caster (which is used on like 1.5 ultras). Joining legion is good too (which is important for endgame)
>>3834819ty fren!>>3834824i'm tempted to save up 2000 ACs for a name change so i don't have to live with the cringe name i used in 2008...
>>3834826Share with the class, anon.
>>3834826>don't have to live with the cringe name i used in 2008...It's the burden we all bear, even as a paypig I'm still torn on changing it.Anyway you start with Oracle for free which is generally better than the starting classes. Dragonslayer used to be an easy to get solo class for beginners too iirc, Pyromancer > Blaze Binder upgrade is a good class that unlocks stuff later too. And if you don't mind obtaining things out of order Blood Sorceress is technically a mistake class but it only requires you to reach a level 50 boss and farm a drop from them, so you can just ask a high level player to transport you to Groglurk and kill it for you.
>>3834826When Frostvale (around Christmas time) comes, you can sign up in game to get free ACs from other players, if you get lucky you could get LOTS of them (I got around 5 000 last time)
I'm almost at full stack of Blood Gems from that Kiss the Void quest alone, and 5th Betrayal Blade is nowhere to be seen... I hate 1% drop rates from quests!
>>3834963I remember killing Akriloth 529 times way back when for the pet. Even in the fastest groups it took like 10 minutes a kill.
>>3834965Oh damn, yeah that's a lot. But doing kiss the void 100 times is such a pain in the ass... and idk how much more I need to do it for the sword to drop
>>3834965I don't even remember why we were doing it, but I've killed this guy a ridiculous amount of times. I felt like a king helping people beat it with mage or healer.
>Releases Tech Demo 007 randomly with only a few hours' advanced noticeMissed it, thanks Artix, though looks like it was pretty buggy since it's already offline>>3831178Bruh, I linked a guide for this >>3792566, try the 3 man comp if you can't fill a roomIf you disagree with something I'll try to explain, but I ain't spoon-feeding everything>>3833395>>3833520Guardian is a pseudo-Chrono in groups since the nuke "rifts" scales with number of playersIt's a glass cannon though, especially solo with -60~85% damage resistance and no dodgeBest enhancements are Ravenous/Vim/Avarice, switch to Vainglory if buffed or pottingSpiral Carve has similar solo DPS, but it's less consistent and has even worse sustainAwe Blast or Spiral Carve is generally better than Elysium or Valiance outside a few niches>And also, any of those classes worth it with forge enchantments?DragonLord and Star Captain are mediocre, see how DL performs in the Farming KPM lists>>3833580AwB is no longer consumed and Void Imbue always buffs, but SpC is only 15% chance
>>3834626I got 550 void auras with the boost...
>>3835080So wiki lied to me about awe blast...
how are you supposed to beat him?he nukes me on most classes and is nigh impossible to outheal unless there's a SC in the room (but the room is usually empty).
>>3835193VDK and CAvThe guy spams Decay, so healing outside of life steal is largely pointlessBest way to go about things is to just nuke him
>>3834794wow i got so many rewards from the book of lore for having an old account. when i beat the main story i can get one of these too http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/golden-item-of-digital-awesomenessis there anything cool i can (and can't?) get with it?
>>3835267>Collection Chests (a pet that opens a shop full of rare items, usually like 20+)>Farming pet >Lazily skip an endgame grind>Rare fashion itemPretty much your best bet.
>>3835267Just look up cool items (armors and chests would be my picks) that you wanted as a kid, but make sure there isn't a copy of that you could get rn. It's probably the rarest thing f2p players can get, so be MINDFUL with the pick
>>3835431>>3835485what about classes? are there any good/useful niche (or not so niche) classes that could be worth getting with it?
>>3835489Well I would not spend it on classes personally, since all of the meta ones could be gained with farming or with ACs. And that thing is HYPER rare. The only other way you can get it is from weekly doom spins, and it's rly low chance (or if you whale ofc)
>>3835489
>aesthetics get worse as you progressAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
>>3835529Reminder those are not the classes to get with IoDAs, just support ones in general (also I didn't know we had one made, cool)>>3835537Such is fate of old AE projects, that are not the main milking cow (AQW). Teams are rly small on them nowadays, so yeah quality is not the best.
>>3835267just brainstorming ideas right now, but what if i got sepulchures armor? since i'm f2p i won't be able to get it any other way, and it'll let me unlock legion doomknight later as well as giving me the quest for void auras.
>>3835693 (Me)but also counter-point: http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/nulgath-collection-2021i could get a ton of cosmetics instead of something practical.
>>3835693You don't need that for Legion doomknight (it only needs 2 000 legion tokens). But might be good call if you want to farm less for NSoD, but that's the only benifit>>3835695Yeah chest are prob the most you could get in terms of value, but that depends on how often you switch sets, some people just stick to 1 thing lul.Also I would look up all the chest and pick the ones with the most amount of stuff you could actually see yourself wearing.Or just look up rare armors in general
>>3835735 (Me)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utKPrgs633sCould check videos like this one if you're lazy. Also 2 things: make sure IoDA item is non mem itself, and make sure it's not floating armor (those look like shit when moving)
>>3835735>But might be good call if you want to farm less for NSoDhow much faster is the sepulchures armor quest compared to the f2p NSoD farm?
>>3835737uncomparable
>>3835737uhh a bit, but you can also do daily quests now, so imo if you have patience, you could just do it that way
What enhancements do you use for SC? I always thought you were supposed to use wizard, but now I'm hearing contrarians say that everyone uses SC wrong and that you're supposed to use fighter for it?
>>3835802Full Luck (dmg) or Full Wiz (support) Spiral Carve or AweBlast (awe)Arcana's Concerto or Absolution (forge)Idk why they suggest fighter...
Nyooo. No more Tauntless Drakath I guess Fuck you AE
This thread is moving uncharacteristically fast, let's compile links for >>3792566 now>https://twitter.com/Datenshi6699 or https://www.reddit.com/user/DefNotDatenshiDidn't want to include a Plebbit/Xitter link, but you guys want Lucifer/Datenshi's updates?Need a newer solo DPS list with Dauntless, anyone got one? I only found this >>3825469The newer Farming KPM list has been updated so we can remove the the outdated oneSince you guys struggle with reading, remove Math 1001 and AQWG for conciseness?I also need ED and MQ guides; better AQC and AQ3D guides would be nice too>>3835802>>3835835Because SC's heal is a hybrid HoT, so crit damage is useless and AP/SP maxes healsSo to maximize healing, it's Valiance/Fighter/Anima/Absolution. Luck for damage, yeahIIRC technically Hybrid heals slightly more than Fighter, but Fighter give more health
>>3836202You don't rly need max heal in most standard comps... Loo and ap are enough >AQWG Is it still alive even? The aqw hub seems to replace it
>>3835693 (Me)i got the armor and it gave me a bonus ioda. pic rel is what most people get.i was thinking of getting a nulgath pet for farming nation drops, but which one is better? oblivion blade is really popular, but i heard people saying that the nulgath challenge pet is better now?
>>3837774so you don't want to get cosmetics from the past?Idk if you can use oblivion pet if you're not mem.Idk much about challenge pet and nulgath pets in general, I would just save IoDA for now and think a bit more.
>>3837850 (me)I hope other anons who own Nully pets tell you which ones are better. Just make sure not to get mem ones (since you already used ioda on mem farm)
>>3837850>so you don't want to get cosmetics from the past?haha... i do, i even made a whole list of things i want: https://pastebin.com/hGuwU9sMi'm just wondering if a 'practical' item is more worth it to help me catch up.
>>3837867hmm from the items in it I'll give you my 2 cents on the ones you'll regret getting:1. Silent-wanderer will suck becasue of running animation of robe armors.2. I wouldn't get weapons since they feel like weaker pick compared to armors and chests.3. There is Black Friday 2024 Collection with Cyber assasin of shadows, but I guess you could hate that type of recolors (same with Cyber DeathHunter)But I'm Big fan of TLPD 2021 pick, I think I will get this one with my IoDA too, but as I said before the value is huge only if you swap the gear you show up from time to time.
>>3837867For practical ones it's hard to tell. Before new daily (Wrong Turn at Voidbuquerque) which gives 7 blood gems, I would say it's worth it. But now I personally wouldn't use IoDA on it and just farm nulgath normally.
>>3837867And if you find other items and want feedback on them, feel free to share again.You could also IoDA some rly old (talking like 2010-15 or so) and rare armor that has no duplicates yet and you could see yourself wearing all the time. Maybe cc, so it fits all other gear you get. And now you have permanent set.
