I feel overwhelmed and like I hit a wall. Can someone tell me where to go from here please?

[lucid fjord]

I know I messed up picking the fughar free upgrade to kharazad earring accessory instead of the necklace. I have all pen boss gear c4 and armor chest c6. My AP is 280/282 and dp 355. Any advice would be helpful on what to focus on first I really want to reach gearscore 700 at least. I'm at about a measly 4b..

Here's a screenshot of my stats

You could put a support ticket in to see if they can swap over for you https://console.pearlabyss.com/Support

[lucid fjord]

Could I potentially make do with the kharazad earring and later upgrade a debo necklace to kharazad? Or did I ruin my build?

[silver thunder]

Tet debo is v khazarad

[lucid fjord]

I'm confused what to do, should I just try support or suck it up and try for a debo necklace and convert to kharazad? Is the kharazad earring that much worse?

[silver thunder]

What region you on

@celest moat whats na tet debo at

[lucid fjord]

North America PS5

[peak saffron]

Necks 30b and crashing

You didn’t mess up exactly, you would want the kharazad anyways.

I would recommend saving caphras and getting boss armor to C10, also do the new silent fallen god quest, it’s like the Kharazad quest but for fallen god

Save silver to get tet Debos or make base kharazad if you feel like enhancing yourself.

Do not enhance any accessories except kharazad at the moment, except for tuvula or something on seasons, but no “real accessories”

Working on Kabua artifacts too would be a good gain, buying them off the central market because you can’t grind the spots yet, these are best in slot pve artifacts

Long term, saving up for a second Blackstar would be good too, for sov weapons, but get full kharazad first

[lucid fjord]

Thank you

For the help

[silver thunder]

Ty for helping my fellow shai

[lucid fjord]

All of you I appreciate it

Makes me feel better can come back from this mistake at least

[peak saffron]

Added new quests to the [Leveling Aid] questline to help adventurers level up even faster.
These quests will be available to accept and complete after the Sept 18 (Thu) maintenance.
You can only complete "[Leveling Aid] Breaking Limits II" and "[Leveling Aid] Silent Slumbering Origin Defense Gear" once per Family.

Quest isn’t in yet looking now

But will be soon

[dense helm]

The great debo. Crash will make gearing up cheaper.

Don't stress dawn essences. Just replace everything with tet debos

You can get 4 more dp by adding despair to vells

[lucid fjord]

How can I do that?

[peak saffron]

I wouldn’t even call it a mistake tbh, you aren’t exactly messing up and losing anything, just aren’t exactly as far as you could be but the difference is not a huge thing at all in the long term

[peak saffron]

https://grumpygreen.cricket/blessed-soul/

[lucid fjord]

You made me feel better thanks for the advice. I feel more motivated now

[dense helm]

You can look at the item on the cm. Exalted and blessed soul fragment

[lucid fjord]

So to clarify, focus on c10 armor first?

[dense helm]

Need 1 for 2 dp and then other adds 2 more

[lucid fjord]

Then get the silver for some debos

[dense helm]

Yes. Caphras is cheap

Can save money on despair by grinding saunil

[lucid fjord]

K gotcha. Thanks everyone. i understand a bit better now

[dense helm]

Maybe hexe if your ap is a but higher

[lucid fjord]

I'm gonna start working on marni stones I didn't do for some caphras

[peak saffron]

I would focus on kharazad first with silver, but you can do both at the same time. You earn caphras when doing PvE so I would save all those

One way I see it, you should be killing monsters fast. So if you can survive but aren’t killing fast, you want AP.

But if you’re moving up into higher end zones and are taking too much damage, then you want dp to survive. But if you are not killing fast, then you should not be in the spot

[dense helm]

I think i did like c3 or c4 on my boss stuff, got closer to 400 dp and then did all ap

[peak saffron]

I did c10 on chest first, but it was a different time where we didn’t have fallen god for everything

Would definitely be better stat wise to do a slower buildup unless you want to rush the fallen god

[dense helm]

I play awk wiz so I can fudge dp requirements and live in super armor. If you can live off hp pots, skip the minor dp boosts and get ap

[peak saffron]

For context @lucid fjord c1-c20 are what people refer to as caphra levels, in your V gear.

C10 is needed to make a piece of fallen god armor. Just so you don’t get confused lol

[lucid fjord]

I'm sorry I'm confused by what you said. Does gear go past c10m

[peak saffron]

Yes, c20 is the max. But you don’t need to go c20 for armor

For sov weapons there’s a recipie for c20 but it’s generally cheaper to use blackstar

[lucid fjord]

Ah I see so armor goes to c10 and weapons can go c20 right?

[peak saffron]

No they both can go to c20, but it’s not necessary to take armors any farther than c10

[lucid fjord]

Ah I see thanks for clarifying

[peak saffron]

Fallen god is better than c20 armors as well, it’s just part of an older system

[lucid fjord]

Sovereign weapons, are those the last upgrade I should focus on?

[peak saffron]

Long term, yes. You should probably do lotml world bosses tho for the embers, especially if you play Shai because Shai is different.

But sov weapons cost like multiple Blackstars or c20 boss weapons and caphras, definitely a long term goal

But if you play Shai it’s different, can only use the flame for your talent weapon, so if you play Shai, do your weekly world bosses in lotml and start stacking the embers

[lucid fjord]

Awesome advice thank you very much. I've got some good goals ahead of me now.

[lucid fjord]

I got lucky and tapped a debo v earring!

I have some marni stones and now I'm going to work on getting caphras rn

[dense helm]

You can exchange that for a nov kharazad.

[lucid fjord]

Sweet!

[lucid fjord]

If I fail an enhancement attempt on my Nov kharazad earring will it lose a level? And are cron stones useless for kharazad?

[dense helm]

Absolutely. Don't tap anything these days without crons

You should just leave the ear at nov

[lucid fjord]

Ok I'll leave it for now thanks

[dense helm]

Luckily we just got piles of crons in codes and attendance

And piles of hammers. Use ancient hammer on nov ear, that's same as cron

[lucid fjord]

Yea I'm trying to hoard as many as I can. I thought 50k crons was a lot turns out it's barely anything xD

Ya I always use those codes

[dense helm]

50k is 150b. Its a ton for new folks

[lucid fjord]

True

I mean as enhancement rises xD

Thanks again for helping

[dense helm]

Have you done the dec tuvala weapon to get thr pen blackstar?

Getting vbs to merge to get Sovereign is a decent ap boost

[lucid fjord]

No I got the free black stars for main and awk and pen kutun offhand

Im new to all the tuvala changes

[dense helm]

What did you do with the tet?

[lucid fjord]

I think we got a pen black star right and a tet and I think I upgraded the tet iirc

The kutum offhand either boss exchange or I bought it

[dense helm]

There is 2 pen and 1 tet you get

I know folks who cronned the tet to smash 2 vbs together

Since they had 3 at that point

https://garmoth.com/guides/post/dec-tuvala-gear

[lucid fjord]

Yes I can't believe it I have two sura katana one tet and pen so I messed up there. I basically been figuring this out by myself up till now. I know I messed up there damn

Sigh

[dense helm]

You need 2 main vbs and 2 awk vbs

So extra is ok

In November we get Sovereign offhand, will need 2 there as well

[lucid fjord]

Ok that is good at least. I made quite a few mistakes

[dense helm]

We were all new at one point. Its ok.
You can always get more silver.

[lucid fjord]

Yea. I have a ton of those hammers at least

I didn't use any

[dense helm]

Save hammers for dec kharazad swings, armor on wailing swings, dragon on Sovereign hex plus

Weapon not dragon lol

[lucid fjord]

Ok I'll screenshot to remember for future reference

So should I work on silver for now or get those caphras? Last question don't want to take too much of your time

[dense helm]

You have nov ear if you exchanged it, can use hammers there. Should get a silent armor on the 18th (,boots maybe) so hammers there

[lucid fjord]

With the earrings the description is confusing? If I fail the enhancement it actually will deopM

Drop?

[dense helm]

I like more dp, I wouldn't fo crazy, you can just sheer ap and kill faster

[dense helm]

Hammers = crons

[lucid fjord]

Ok

[dense helm]

Kharazad do not downgrade if you use hammer or crons.
However, debo will downgrade with crons.
Kharazad is treated like armor

[lucid fjord]

Hmm ok I'll hold off for now I'm still confused but you've helped me a lot

[dense helm]

Get comfortable killing mobs, learn to run faster. Buy upgrades

[lucid fjord]

I'll farm silver and caphras rn since u said focus on dp rifht

[dense helm]

Use caphras you earn from killing, use silver on ap upgrades

[lucid fjord]

Clear and to the point, thank you very much for your help my friend! 😀

[dense helm]

Also if you can leave console on over night, have a sub level 50 alt learn to fish. Extra money while you sleep/work

I would set up fisher and hit input and watch TV at night

[lucid fjord]

Yes I should try that thanks, I heard afk fishing is great

[dense helm]

Under 50 so you cant be killed by those folks who think that's the highlight of their life

Also a quested 50 slot fish tank in dragon sea palace worth looking into

[granite yew]

Your first mistake is choosing the wrong class to do PvE…..

[thick hare]

Yooo need help playing on same thing
