Hey, can't you see I'm walkin here?!

#

As a reminder, do put bugs for this feature in #1097574048294260878 instead of here if you remember - makes bug smushing easier

#

Man, the sprites for all the new buildings are just too good😩👌

#

Are they supposed to not work for now though?

#

Can't get in on any of the new buildings

You need to update your client

Not really a bug, just need to be patient

#

Yeah but the update may still be rolling out

Check to see if you have 3.6 in game

3.5 here

jaunty robin
#

Oh now I'm on 3.6.4beta

#

Has anyone figured out how to use aspects?

#

I'm in 3.6 with all guilds but I'm clueless

pure talon
#

slot 'em in the button in the bottom right of the world view

#

that's your traveller's guild menu

jaunty robin
#

You place em in the bottom right thing and take a walk

pure talon
#

and then they can be used for #1121079021153832981

Travelers guild material reward feedback:

  • random materials available in each day is ok but not my favorite. If the goal is an additional way to get materials for ascensions, this is effectively just going to be a really small drop in the bucket compared to current systems. Something is better than nothing, but I'd like to see a dedicated materials tab to just buy what I need with my tokens
  • the randomized cost needs to go, especially if the materials available each day stay random. No reason to wait say 9 days for a material you're currently targeting only to have it be 5x as expensive as everything else that day because RNG

Oh thanks

make sure to allow it to use your devices pedometer

so it can track your steps, even while you dont have the app open

I promise the game will use the pedometer for pedometer reasons and not for non-pedometer reasons

This is nice!

In a machine

#

There's been some lingering bugs with step tracking so that might still happen

hexed token
#

well, its called beta for a reason

pure talon
#

Some people might not have steps track for them, others might have it track intermittently

remote kayak
#

Any idea if there are phone settings that might block it konq?

#

(Other than obvious Orna permissions)

pure talon
#

No idea, thankfully the bug hasn't happened to me

#

Different phones do their deal differently too, so make sure when reporting bugs about step tracking that you include your phone type

#

Google Fit and apps like that are good to compare steps on a fitness app vs. steps on beta Orna

cursive granite
#

Yeah, steps aren't counting at all unless the app is open.

#

At least for me.

Does Orna pull step data from apple fitness or apple health app?

I think it's just your phone's pedometer

Fogstone is also superior rarity with a (seemingly) random cost

blissful trail
#

Afaik

#

It's also tier based

#

Red Draconite is t6, scalestone is t3

#

hence the difference, despite being same rarity

remote kayak
#

Ah.

blissful trail
#

Lyonite is super expensive iirc

remote kayak
#

Thats... actually worse than it being random lol

#

Ok, new feedback:

  • gut the current cost system completely, no cost basis on rarity or tier since both are honestly meaningless. As examples: ortanite is legendary rarity and one of the easiest mats to farm in the game. Dragonite is tier 1, but doesn't really get used until T6ish?

  • cost should either be uniform: 1 proof of trial = 2 mats (arbitrary numbers)

Or

  • cost should be based on the type of mobs that primarily drop them. Raid drops = 3x the cost, boss drops = 2x the cost, regular monsters = 1x cost
low bough
#

This is feedback about all the sprites/followers/(summons if any). They should require the previous one to buy before you can get next. Otherwise people will only save up for the finnial one and the rest will go unused, only being bought by completionist.

Edit: maybe not sprites but thoughts still similar

Kinda adds some progression. Can go 'oh hey they on the 3rd pet for that guild'

Will orna be able to track my steps even when closed after I granted the permission to the app or do I need to keep it running the whole day?

Yep, was something they talked about in a post a while ago! Think It would be DoA without that feature:D

Currently you need to open the app once per day, then open it again later in the day to ensure the steps log.

Dam, hoping doing pushups would count if I used a fitbit for calories. Good to know. Definitely something that would be hard to prevent cheating with.

Wait, are you saying all the steps I do, even when the game is not open will count towards this?

That is the idea

it does appear to be "not perfect" in its counting right now though

cursive granite

Currently you can just shake the phone, or strap it to a ceiling fan or your dog, to cheat for steps.

I guess that's a limitation shared by all pedometers, though.

Currently, the tier of the Kingdom Gold and Kingdom Orns rewards within the Traveller's Guild is tied to the Level of the building.
Which means my Lv. 10 building has locked my main, a T3, out of buying the Kingdom Gold and Kingdom Orns from the Guild Shop.

While I understand the correlation, I don't think it's a particularly great idea to interlock the tier of the K.Gold and K.Orns with the building level.

I could just not level the building beyond my tier, but that may not be perfectly clear to newer players that build the Traveller's Guild building and believe that investing into it would provide them benefits, rather than locking them out of things.

#

The materials offered as well seem to apply similar logic, where what is offered is related to the building level, rather than the player tier.
However, I'm not entirely opposed to this, at least for the materials, as Shops apply similar logic.

Upgrading buildings is unfun since you just have to tap 10 x 2 times (the requirements are so low that they are easily attainable by normal T3s) .

The only notable differences are the keep big upgrades where you have a sense of investment and achievement.

The fact that you can overlevel a guild and lock yourself out from some tier gated rewards could be a bug, but can also be the inspiration for the solution: buildings should level with your tier and no more click spamming

My old mirror also doesn’t have any aspects, which makes testing a headache

When the steps register, that is.

#

Also, apparently proofs of distance aren't exploitable with alts, as per Odie. The first character that opens the app gets the steps when they update.

Wolpertinger — ★★

With no buffs of any kind
9% Attack, 22% Heal, 9% Buff, 9% Spell

Attack
Ponder — T. Mag +
Sharpen — T. Att +
Bolt II
Bonded Strikes — Equivalent is Tricut?
Great Heal — Heal 250 HP

#

opinion dump incoming soon to a theatre near you

#

Ponder and Sharpen aren't that helpful in the early-game, but they're not entirely useless.
Bolt II and Bonded Strikes can be really nice for helping out kill stuff at times, but as with most early-game followers, isn't going to be something to rely on.
Great Heal, at a whopping 22% is absolutely bonkers. Even with the new AI, that's a fairly high likelihood of saving your butt in a pinch.

T2 Notes
Definitely the top choice of T2 followers. Really no matter what you're doing in T2.

T3 Notes
It's definitely a safe bet against most things, but given the low level, I don't see it doing much damage, and the temp buffs aren't that useful. Though this could certainly change if/when I get one on my T3 and test it out properly. But that'll take some time to obtain.
The healing is still super nice, so if you're looking to increase overall survivability, it's a good pick.
Wouldn't necessarily take it into a dungeon though. I'd rather take Mimic for the att/mag/def/res su than just t.att/t.mag su. The permanent buffs are worth more to me, given how close I can get to 1-shotting everything in my tier and below.
Absolutely still a great pick though, compared to other T3 followers.

T4 Notes
You're better off saving up for the Traveled Wolpertinger. Cause that thing is wayyyyyyy better

#

I'd almost argue that, despite the cost of it, the Traveled Wolpertinger [T4] is a little too good.
Bonded Strikes and Bolt III aren't an issue.
Magic Strikes and Magic Sword are a sweetened deal for Magic users, as now there's a really solid damaging follower for T4. An absolute must if you crave more damage.
Holy Light is alright. Though it having four magic based spells, one of which can heal you a bit, might be overkill.

The problem I really have is that it has Dispel, on top of all the other skills.
Don't get me wrong, I love not necessarily needing to worry nearly as much about stuff like Blight, Petrified, and Cursed as an early-game player.
But this is a little much.

There is the fact that there is another T4 follower with Dispel, Alfar, but Alfar has the balance of its attack chance being absurdly high, and not a whole lot other than Dispel going for it, in my opinion.
The only other followers that have Dispel are all T8+

#

If anyone would like to dispute/discuss anything here, please do so. Don't let me be the only voice on this. I beg you

graceful granite
#

Interested to see how the T2 one performs with a T3 char!

long harness
#

Magic Strikes/Sword say it uses Mag stat instead of Att, so I assume Mag su is what you want.
But I very well could be wrong.

graceful granite
#

Huh, I could've sworn they keyed off the mag stat but still used att+ buffs, but I just tested it, must've been confusing it with something else

Keys, arena tokens and potions in runeshop is more of a "scam" (so easy to obtain that only a low low tier whale can think of spending money there) than p2w

Any update on why steps aren't registering if the app is closed? Is this something we can fix on our end with phone settings / permissions?

swift mauve

if they're not counting when the app is closed, then there are no apps activating the step sensor, and therefore no steps logged.

solutions:
keep orna in background
keep any other step counting app open in background (samsung fit, etc count)

negative. Pedometer is a sensor on your device

After some testing it looks like even if orna is running in the background, it eventually stops using the pedometer. Background steps were working ~3 hours ago. Just came back from a walk (with beta still running in the background) and no steps were counted.

Is this a phone thing where it puts the app to sleep after a certain amount of time?

Yes. It’s counting while I have the app open. I’ll test with the app on background today to see if that part is working

On Android, but step counting worked for me with the game closed which is cool

Hi, maybe a stupid question, do you need to walk with the app open?
Doesn't it get the walking info in the background, like in other games?

You can close it, it will get the walking info in the backgroumd

So long as you open the app once before you start walking

I walked today 13k steps and it didn't get any info in the background...

blissful trail

Okay so it's different form other games I'm used to

#

It would be nice, if in long term, it would connect with Google health connect or with apple health

jaunty robin
#

To put it in odies words " pedometer first, health apps later"

swift mauve
#

Health apps also introduce alt concerns

bold frost
#

Just curious, what kind of alt concerns do health apps create?

gilded summit
#

Couldn’t they sync to the first account opened? That way, you’re throwing your steps at your alts, you’re limiting your main acc

swift mauve
#

to highlight the concern:

right now (with pedometer), steps are attributed to the current character, as they happen

with a health app, the day's current step count is attributed to the character, thus any character active at some point today can gain the steps retroactively

definitely some ways around the concern, but for now, pedometer is the simplest

bold frost
#

Would it actually unbalance the travelers guild if alts and main both got credit for the days steps? Seems like once a day catching up with fit app might be easier on battery life.

I am no programmer though, just spitballing

remote kayak
#

giving every character the steps is essentially a way to raise ascensions for multiple characters at once with ~0 work. Orns would still need to be farmed, but materials would be significantly easier than nuking starlord 100 times per alt

bold frost
#

How many materials do you get for a 10,000 step day?

remote kayak
#

depends heavily on the material and its rarity/tier currently, but it isn't insignificant as they can be purchased multiple times once they are in the shop

#

I'm sure there are some niche cases where players do heavily maintain two characters as "mains", but for the most part players with multiple T10/T11 characters only have the others to serve as gauntlet entries or meme characters

bold frost
#

If only 1 main really matters then it feels like some extra mats on the alt aren't really a big deal

remote kayak
#

depends on how meta you want to be

#

being able to ascend a second T11 character without farming specific mats on them is only beneficial to a small group of try hards (myself included), but it would be quite powerful. I'd happily take an ascension 25 beo with me in horde boss dungeons to act as clean up crew. I just don't want to farm raids on that alt, so I don't. I'd absolutely use traveler's guild for it though

#

all that said, I do think there is a valid concern around the first character getting all of the steps. If I log out on an alt and they get the steps instead of my main, I will be sad. And I'm sure I'll do it a few times before I force the habit of always logging out on my main

bold frost
#

Is the headache of making sure that your main gets the steps greater then the harm letting mains and alts both get them?

remote kayak
#

depends on who you ask

#

I'm aggressively against anything that benefits alt play, so my answer would be yes. I'm sure lots of people disagree though

bold frost
#

I'd bet that less then 10% of players really utilize alts. Personally I think the best way is to make it easier for 90% of players and if the alts of the try hards get a small bonus then that's acceptable. Alts will always be less powerful then the mains anyhow

remote kayak
#

concern isn't so much about alt power, but using alts with markedly inflated power to push farming speeds and efficiency even higher for mains, which in turn inflates character power even further.

You're not wrong that this is an issue for a super small % of the playerbase though. Good news is Odie is usually pretty good at coming up with solutions

bold frost
#

I feel like the player base spends a disproportionate amount of energy worrying about the top players. If the top 100 rankings didn't exist I wonder how many players would be unaware of them since they have a miniscule impact on the playing of other players. When the class balance patch was done, NF didn't pay much attention to them, because they are such a small group that including then in the decision making process would throw off the data set and cause changes that would hurt the game as a whole. I think they should be treated that way for the majority of decisions.

Your body makes a particular motion as you walk, and your phone knows what that motion feels like in your pocket, and fairly well in your hands. It keeps track of how often it feels that motion as a method of tracking how many steps you take.

Pedometer = Foot Gauge
It tracks your feet.

#

As John said, then deleted, Step Count, not distance. That would be a Odometer

#

Which Orna tracks via GPS and some math.

rustic owl
#

we have two systems now in Orna: meters for some quests and achievements (gps) and steps for the Traveler's

sage river
#

Basicly a pedometer uses multiple acelerations and decelerations based on oriantations of the device to detect movement. Which is why a car wont make a step, but running in place does. At least for my phone.

I think I already saw my answer, but the steps accumulate only by having the app open and your phone on your person? Wearables like smart watches don't work?

No, they do not

Currently it is only via the phone's integrated pedometer

#

There might be room for further integration down the line, but not as of right now

They should hopefully be remedied. I have my watch on when I run. I don't want to have to have my clunky brick phone on me to get credit

But yeah, as of right now, you would be unable to progress in traveller's guild with your setup

Also with Bluetooth watches, the watch will calculate your steps, then when you reconnect with your phone, those steps will be transferred and credited

Step aren't for steps only. When you walk with Orna you also get random special loot, visible to you only.

right. being without your device altogether doesn't really align with the goals of traveler's guild

humble yew
rustic owl
#

Nah, circled items are Traveler's guild featured things brought by Wolpertingers (the NPC states that).

earnest dock
#

You are then only using it to get steps

#

Only saying because I work a job where I can't keep my phone on me so having that ability would be helpful

swift cosmos
#

Hio! I have a somewhat strange observation. Several days in a row, back in 3.6.5 , I walked from the station to work (around 4 k steps) and collected various loot (resources, and even Proofs), and in the evening, on the exact same route was not a single pile. Today I checked, and the same thing - in the morning - there was loot, and nothing in the evening. Maybe it is tied to the territory or time?

swift mauve
#

what is the difference between that and a smart watch

a lot of the traveler's guilds perks (beyond results of steps) are in-game. these just aren't things you'll be interfacing with on your watch. that would be the main difference

but regardless of that - reminder: this is pedometer now, health app integration later

Appreciate it odie, hopefully something can get integrated. Thanks for all you do

So what mob and what level do I need for the hystoric aspect?

From what I have gathered from here and the Patreon discord, the only report I've found from someone was Guild Level 8/Tier 8, with a Northren Warlock

humble yew

So guild level equals max tier of the monster you could get?

It seems to be that way, though that may not be the entire story

For now, yes

I had to skip out on a few days of 10k steps due to it not tracking for about 2 days, and now the air quality is an issue around me.

#

I imagine getting to Lv. 10, for (potentially) full tier access, really won't take a huge amount of time

cold axle

Can someone explain what getting the aspects does?

Is it still unknown?

serene copper
# cold axle Can someone explain what getting the aspects does?

Short answer: Pokémon battles
Long answer: We get monsters from the many families (possibly even all monsters from the game) that we've seen in-game that we can battle with in Guild Trials to get proofs; from what was said/read here, the battles are seemingly endless and you'll only be as good as your own monsters would allow so synergy between all 3 Mons would be your best bet for the optimal proof income

#

That or just abuse immunities; the Fomorian bosses are probably also acquirable and the Nocturne ones (can only be damaged by pet/summons) are cracked due to their innate mechanic mimic

white skiff
#

The trials aren't endless-

#

They have floors like dungeons

#

Still haven't beat one though to see rewards

#

V.2.6.8 asked me grant permission for Orna to track steps; I had already done this previously. Anyone else experience the same ?

neat jewel
#

2 questions:
is the monster obtainable from aspect random?
the monster obtainable depends if you have completed the codex?

serene copper
#

1.) Manifest obtainable probably depends on their family related to the aspect you've used/hatched (although admittedly, I'm not well-versed in what monster goes where; someone else would most likely explain it better)

2.) Someone here already mentioned that you only need to see them

humble yew
# long harness

Pless shared this for what aspect has been found to give what

neat jewel
#

thanks, so if you use a monster in trials, it is used and you have to get another manifest again?

humble yew
humble yew
#

for what i gathered you keep them, the more you find of the same monster raises the level of the monster

serene copper

Or maybe not
Why go for an overpowered manifest when you can just statcheck everything with a lvl250 AL100 Green Slimemimic

humble yew
#

good luck finding 250 green slimesmimic

long harness
#

While I would normally worry about needing duplicates of manifests to make them stronger, it seems to just be a +1 Level for getting a duplucate, rather than needing say 10 duplicates for +1 Level.
I am very happy with that decision, primarily due to the sheer number of monsters and bosses in the game, and the "difficulty" of gaining duplicates

neat jewel
#

my concern is that people might be incentivise to not codex monster that are weaker

#

like green slime

long harness
#

It does, to some degree, but I believe thats partically why manifests are of seen monsters, rather than codex complete monsters.
if someone wants to avoid any and all "weak monsters" somehow, by all means, i would love to see their progress

neat jewel
#

Ahhh.. so manifest is limited by seen monster rather than completed codex?

#

If so, i think thats fine

white skiff
#

I was thinking that too -

#

But they'd have to avoid dungeons, bosses, and not partake in an event except for a couple key ones.

#

So, if you fill all your 3 slots with historic ones, you're pretty fucked, until you get guild level 8.
Or is there a way to abandon them?

swift mauve
#

Historic are a T9 item, so you shouldn't be able to receive them even at T8

blissful trail
#

This is a side effect of getting 5000 of each item in beta

#

you get stuck in unrealistic situations :p

#

that being said, a lot of people will be t9+ when starting the traveller's guild when it launches. So depending on if the historic aspects spawn in the world based on your tier, or if they spawn based on the guild's level, then you might be able to softlock yourself

I haven't seen anyone post about this, nor do I know how recently it was added to the beta, but.
The addition of Monster Aspects to the RuneShop, I feel, is good and should be added to the Live version.

Monster aspects aren't particularly difficult to obtain more of, if you're doing active walks (playing while walking), rather than passive walks (game is in the background whille walking).
Manifesting aspects only gives guild experience, but still require you to walk to open them, so effort is still required to get through them. Meaning you can't buy a bunch of them and burn through them that quickly.
Proofs of Distance are required to do the Guild Trials, so walking around is still absolutely necessary in order to attempt to get Proofs of Trials from the fights.
There's enough monsters and bosses that getting 6 aspects from the RuneShop doesn't really provide any particular advantage to those that don't.
I wouldn't even consider it a time-saver to those that actively go on walks to participate in the Traveler's Guild, as again, active walks will also likely provide a similar amount of aspects in a day or two, some decent luck is required though.
I see it as a way to invest in the game, and get a minor boost to the players that want to do the Traveler's Guild.

It should stay.

#

But I also want to hear other's thoughts

white skiff
#

I want them in runeshop

#

Why?

#

Sometimes I don't get aspects from distance milestones. I want to keep walking and travelling while manifesting.

#

I'd 100% buy some to fill up before a big hike or day of walking

#

The only thing I can see being an issue is countries where gambling is prohibited. Chances for actual manifests might need to be posted (based on codex entries, might be tricky to do)

#

I'd be pleasantly surprised if they were sold in packs of themed manifests (great, grotesque, meaty etc), instead of all together.

I am assuming runeshop manifests are in the beta for testing atm

rustic owl
#

Random would be a bit more 'fair', since themed might be bought for more obvious advantage of 'better' manifests, like rarer ones.

white skiff
#

I think allowing players to runeshop at the onset is a good idea for profit.

#

Everyone will be hype to try and it will push sales.

#

I want Odie and crew to be profitable and happy so we can keep orna forever.

My answer depends - do I need multiple of the same monster? or is it a get the monster once and never again type deal?

white skiff

Duplicate manifestations level up your monsters. Each duplicate = 1 level

pliant pecan

and remember that, even if you dont walk too much for getting those aditionals monster aspects, you can buy great ones from the anguish shop for 50 proofs

white skiff
#

remote kayak
#

Meh. I can't say I love the idea of it being in the runeshop if we need multiple copies. It isn't really buying "player power" but it is sort of buying power for a super niche part of the game.

It would probably be super profitable though. I'd much rather something like this be in the runeshop than something like heart of change.

white skiff
#

This seems like pure PvE content to me. That's partly why I'm for the runeshop aspects.

#

If anything it will allow old/rich players to progress quickly
