Post-New Rise erg leveling

[tired jungle]

I would be interested to see how this is being navigated by others.

Dually noting, are we expected to eat into precise reforging tools instead? Seems a bit... wild to me.

Goodness I hope its not that toxic

In 10 near runs I got 3 5k erg crystals. Thats not even one log worth of xp.

We should get back on the case of puri limits too, because thats going to dry up our already limited supply of mats.

The majority of weapons dropped are fully upgraded. This contributed to erg xp yield. With trash enchants and maybe special upgrades, these may be able to fully replace logs without the tedious reforge 3 line lottery of old.

I will report in thread when I've completed my testing

Yeah now that special upgrade fails (up to step 5) don't downgrade, can't we just special upgrade these new loot drops very easily? Step 5 is twice as much exp as a 3 like reforge.

So yeah, I used 3x 2 line weapons that dropped as disassemble-able dungeon loot. 2 of them made it to step 6 blue and 1 to step 5, but I just used the upgrade stones I had saved, maybe 3 stacks in total. With the gold I spent at the anvil I still saved a tonne over buying erg fragments or the old 3 line log strat. I didnt even throw on trash enchants like I planned. Erg frags are dead, long live blue soap

Genious

i wonder if upgrade stones will become a commodity again

[tight kayak]

With as often as we're being expected to run phantasm normal, I expect that the demand won't outweigh the supply
