Ive noticed the blades of finness guild barley has any players active making you only go up against bots. Which isn't a issue but they only give 1-2 points a round making getting 1000 points per rank up. Mabey its just me but what are yall thoughts

Yeah, there have been suggestions like [this](#💡│suggestions message) or suggestions to some sorts of events to help bump up activity in BoF

at lvl 250 it is more lively

#

so you could just focus on leveling and then grind BoF

Im like 247 right now. I wasn't sure if it get more lively later but I just assumed it wouldn't

You actually get more when fighting bots, even at max streak

I just did the BoF grind for the specs and it was most frustrating guild I've lvled up. Restarting matches can lag out and not start, only getting 1 exp per kill regardless of NPC or player, and not being able to kill mobs without going through 2-3 turns.

And the Spelunking guild too. iirc, only top 2 or 3 in the leaderboard have the aura reward

BoF and PvP are not very fun for me as a PvE enjoyer. Most annoying to me is that blade of finesse is so far into the BoF and conq guilds. I want the spec for pve reasons but have to slog through the pvp content to get it.

That's okay, not all things have to be accessible from all forms of play.

#

Also, conq guild is basically PvE, you can even disable also to make it very easy

It’s not about the difficulty it’s about the grind.

To get to level 19 in conq and get the blade of finesse spec we need 3420 exp. Currently I have 362. That means I need to earn 3058 more.

I have captured as many settlements as I can in my area with an incredible 235. This week I have lost a total of 16. If I was to go and retake all of the settlements in a day for 2 exp per win I would get 32 exp.

If I could miraculously get 32 exp every day it would only take me 96 days, or a bit more than 3 months to obtain conq 19.

Unfortunately I can only make that amount every week, which means it would take me 96 weeks or 1.85 years to get to conq 19.

If blade of finesse spec was only useful in PvP the I would not be as concerned. However it is currently extremely valuable in a lot of pve content, but only available through conq or BoF guilds which are both a grind that I don’t enjoy.

I assume the extra turns is what is wanted? Because swash is available.

#

Rend is what I want.

#

If it was extra turns I already have dof

The whole game is a massive grind, and what grinds you enjoy is entirely subjective. I'd love a tower pet but don't want to do the tower grind, but that doesn't mean that they should be made more accessible for less of a grind because I don't enjoy that grind

#

Well, I'll tell ya rend is good for PvP but ultima strikes/ realmstrikes 2 work much better for PvE dmg

#

What rend specifically, epee?

#

Daggers?

quiet urchin
#

Both

#

I understand your points. All the guilds have a level of grind to get something useful. BoF/conq are just my least favorite grind and they hold the blade of finesse spec hostage.

The subclass being good at PvE is secondary to it being a highly useful non cosmetic Pvp reward for PvP use though, and making it easier to obtain for folks who want to use it for PvE would undermine it for PvP I guess is my issue here

#

As someone who has it too, it doesn't beat out other options

#

We're it 100% required to be a competitive endgame PvE build, sure but it is not,nback to my example of tower pets there

#

My argument that sides with you is that during the initial rendition of guilds prior to the new reward system it was far easier to obtain

#

As when you held many crowns you could stack up on proofs to buy it, and that is no longer an option

#

Afaik anyways

#

Also that's assuming you had the ability to hold many crownships

#

I also think the bof guild PvE fights with 2 NPCs should give 2 proofs, that would go a long way too

marble sparrow
#

They already give 2 exp, which is what you really want want in order to get the spec

shell gust
#

Yeah but not the same as buying said subclass for proofd

I love Blade of Finesse Guild ❤️

I would love to see a BoF guild rework of any kind. What would everyone like to see changed?

#

Pvp in BoF guild has the potential to be so cool if done correctly

Anguish style passives that are able to looted in BoF that only work when doing PvP play.

  • Different sets of (optional) House Rules every so often to spice things up.

  • AI-driven Othersouls or Manifest battles where players can place bets to earn either Arena Tokens or proofs.

#

Othersoul use would be great for the high al players to mess with, considering their amount of resources and stockpile of ornates. They would be fun to create battle groups and armies to fight one another.

If the t10 are gods and heroes then why not have dumb underlings to fight battles for them.
