After my weapons got nerfed twice and having my team repeatedly killed by wizards, I have concluded that my best melee option is in fact the Lute
in combination with the aoe silence song
glad mason
I love that ruins is duo now
junior hare

does silence prevent casts from being completed if they're mid-charge?
junior hare
gloomy summit
lmfao that looks so lethal from a 3rd person perspective
swinging that lute like a baseball bat

servers have gone down twice in the last couple hours so I recommend not gearing up for runs atm

The character's base mesh has been changed for better compatibility with more clothing.

High roller ante is adjusted to 50 gold.

Does alcohol stack like how potions used to?
gloomy summit
No
A bard trait makes it heal you for 5 HP instantly
The cheapest option is 1 gold so its twice as valuable as a potion
glad mason
junior hare
leaderboards started again
assuming they're following the rough schedule from last time, that means wipe happens in 3 weeks
gloomy summit
when I looked at 43 minutes in some guy already had 53 rogue kills
very balanced class
just running down every lobby by the looks of it
junior hare
it's a rogue / wizard / bard comp
wizard is taking double memory and the rogue has headshots for 120 or something
https://www.twitch.tv/jaygriffyuh the wizard
https://www.twitch.tv/repoze1 the rogue
junior hare
top leaderboard comps are all buff ball 
junior hare
gloomy summit
I saw that recently
probably the best unique in the game
you just roll bosses with it
junior hare
seems fun

The animations of Horseman's Axe, Hatchet, and Viking Sword have been slightly changed.
gloomy summit
Sdf also mentioned more changes focused on tempo next week
junior hare
junior hare
quarter staff would be so much fun if they made its block a twirl motion and gave it a big area but short ass block time
gloomy summit
You bring nothing to the table now in a fight, just a scuffed fighter without the tankiness or damage
the trade channel even dropped to 60 people for bard
junior hare
they honestly should redo the whole class, or at least add a resource mechanic so the original effects cost something to use
when 100% of meta comps include bard, there's a serious problem
it sounds like they just want everyone to sit more often with these changes
gloomy summit
I genuienly despise the resting mechanic
Its the worst feature of the game, nobody wants to spend any amount of time being forced to sit down and do nothing
junior hare
i agree it's pretty boring
junior hare
- Fixed several issues that could cause server instability.
- Characters lvl 14 and under will be placed in a seperate matching pool. If any member of a party is lvl 15 or above, the entire party will be placed in the lvl 15+ matching pool.
- The level requirement to sign up for the for the Trading Post has been increased from lvl 10 -> 15.
- Fixed an issue where the Darkswarm circle would mostly end in the center region of the map.
- Wizard's invisibility duration has been increased from 3 to 4 seconds.
- Wizard's Haste duration has been increased from 6 to 8 seconds.
- Added an option to control whether items in the following utility slots are automatically placed in your hand after an item is used.
- Improvements to Ironshield.

I like the matchmaking level change. The trading post change not so much š
gloomy summit

junior hare
gloomy summit
At least it makes finding the portals easier
gloomy summit
junior hare
i wonder if the portal spawns are predetermined or random
gloomy summit
pretedetermined I believe since there have been chinese gold farmers on ruins who would just bee-line to a random spot on the map and wait for a blue portal to appear
junior hare
on an unrelated note, i'm up to 6 keys now
gonna see if I can buy a shitty artifact before this wipe and goof off with it
i'll prob need like 15-20
junior hare
my kingdom for more stash space 
gloomy summit
thats a sexy stash
gloomy summit
junior hare
gloomy summit
its 26.9% base
45% with my buckler and Harmonic shield on
48.8% standing next to cleric
Rapier + Buckler actually popping off
I got inspired to run this after I finally gambled a good piece after wasting at least 5k in crafting and instantly dropping it onto the crypt floors
Also, I gave my fighter friend a Viking Sword with 40 base damage I found and he likes it more than the falchion
Overhead instead of sideswings
And also a waaaaay cheaper option because people don't even buy purples for 50
junior hare
gloomy summit
I bumrushed a juiced cleric today with a pre-nerf morningstar at 47 basedamage and he couldn't get me below 50% in 4 hits
probably because he hit me with the shaft with how close up I was but basically anything thats not a fighter or rogue I can just run down now
gloomy summit
Its also great for smashing boxes
junior hare
made it to the 10 key mark
need to sell this and i'll prob have enough to buy a shitty artifact
gloomy summit
god damn
thats easily a key, maybe two
Actually I have no clue just how much people overpay for high-end items with sought after stats
the jump from blue to somewhat ok purple is way too high already
junior hare
funnily enough, I've sold it before for 4 keys
it ended up on the market again so I bought it a 2nd time to flip 
gloomy summit
lmao
junior hare
sold this for 5
gloomy summit
Have you been doing HR boss runs or just killing juicers
junior hare
i'm a trade goblin now
mostly flipping in trade now
though i do kill the occasional juicer in norms
HR isn't worth it when leaderboards are pumpin
risk/reward just isn't there
gloomy summit
the level 15 change was the best thing they've done so far
gloomy summit
Perhaps biased because we got multiple gearsets in normals from opponents
We have me spamming din and a ranger running tracking, if you're a solo rogue you're not making it out of our lobby
junior hare
oof that's evil
gloomy summit
I still like HR just so I can actually find legendary items
we ate shit a lot but that also means we learned what not to do in fights
gloomy summit
Just yesterday we killed the Rank 1 ranger in kills
our ranger was complaining about money problems right before, now he has a full HR set
gloomy summit
one good fight
or just farming standard crypts really
Bard with luck potion is still great for that
multiple purples per run, even if the stats suck most of the time
junior hare
the treasure hoard nerf makes bossing way less worth it now
idk if it's the same 10-loot cap in HR
gloomy summit
I bet it is, considering its a better loot table for it
Regular boss is 100% never worth it
risking a set to the void for 2 blues, nah
rushing chests and mini-bosses is better really
But for practice? Sure
And then try to do the HR one
junior hare
running warlord as cleric with no bard MS buff is pain peko
gloomy summit
its all the way down to 21 ms now
junior hare
still really good if your team has 2 lobsters
gloomy summit
yeah, but at this rate they might as well just remove the song with how problematic it is
junior hare
i'd be a bigger fan of reducing the song nerfs and doing 1 spell memory instead
keep them strong but make it a limited choice
maybe people would take dissonance then
gloomy summit
it needs more variety in skills first
there are only two other options and both suck
junior hare
maybe even turn a couple of the songs into slightly better skills and give them a CD
like chorale into a skill where you don't have to sit, but it's like a 60 second cd
gloomy summit
that would actually be great
junior hare
tbh all the instrument switching is what kills me for bard
it's not fun having to cycle all the time
gloomy summit
they did mention a rework thats already planned so we'll have to see
junior hare
pls devs
gloomy summit
more changes to tempo this week which I'm interested about
also I believe there is a duping exploit going around
gold keys are dropping in value
junior hare
that dupe has been around for multiple patches
people are just now finding out though
i think the dupers are mostly the chinese RMTers
which would make more sense how they're able to sell so many of them for money
and also why the actual market value of keys has gone UP over this wipe instead of down
gloomy summit
Most likely will be another wipe once they fix it I imagine
junior hare
they seem to be consistently wiping within a few days to a week of leaderbaords ending
I'm thinking prob a week from now
i hope they learned their lesson from adding in +3 all atty
rogues with 130 hp shouldn't exist
gloomy summit
they better remove the weakpoint + ambush build
I'm just glad a lot of rogues seem to not use it
it single-handedly made me stop playing GC
junior hare
they'll probably nerf ambush somehow
I'd be more interested in seeing a +weap damage cap of 1 across all items
this rogue i played with has >20 weap damage or something insane
his full combo on the 3rd strike of castilon does 250 damage
~160 on first strike
junior hare
gloomy summit
Apparently the dupe has been fixed and the majority of offenders have been banned
Source, people who got banned
junior hare
this is the richest I think I'll be
junior hare
yeah I've got 1 good lobster set
also trying to collect gear for a meme mace melee build for cleric
gloomy summit
If you want a meme build, I found out Magic staff works with smite
junior hare
you do more dps with 2 strikes of mace
junior hare
if they run I strike 
tbh I've been seeing more fighters just sit back with 60 crossbow bolts
junior hare
i kinda wanna troll and run judgment smite together
silent hornet
hello my fellow DAK N DAKKA bretheren 
Oh ye, mentioned this back in Aethel's server but I managed to sell off my 3+ attribute (green rarity) War Maul for 300g
@junior hare
gloomy summit
the true feat is selling a war maul to someone at all
silent hornet
LOL I think war mauls are fine imo. I feel powerful when I manage to land a hit 
gloomy summit
I wanted to like it but its easy to dodge a headshot with it and swinging for a safe hit on someone means getting a limb hit which is like, a 66% damage penalty
junior hare
any other meme builds y'all can think of for me to do with all my cash?
silent hornet
True.. my heart kinda sinks when I miss a swing 
gloomy summit
I was committed to the alcoholic punching smite build before I found out it scaled with magic staff
silent hornet
junior hare
holy shit, they're gutting rogues:
Patch Notes:
Fixed a bug where gold coins could be duplicated.
Clericās base Strength increased from 11 ā 13.
Clericās base Agility increased from 11 ā 12.
Clericās base Will decreased from 30 ā 25.
Clericās base Resourcefullness increased from 5 ā 7.
Rogueās base Agility decreased from 35 ā 30.
Rogueās base Resourcefullness increased from 15 ā 20.
Rogueās Ambush perk damage bonus decreased from 50% ā 30%.
Rogueās Hide base duration decreased from 60s ā 20s.
Rogue now has Hide Mastery Perk that increases their hide duration.
Rogueās Weakpoint Attackās 50% Weapon Damage Bonus on the initial attack has been removed.
Rogueās Weakpoint Attackās Armor rating debuff has been reduced from -40% ā -25%.
Rogueās Weakpoint Attackās Duration 5s ā 3s.
Reduced the damage of all daggers.
junior hare
Wipe is happening Sept 26
https://darkanddarker.com/news/5
This time users will keep all their characters and their level progression. Please note that the update will also introduce sweeping balance changes that will affect almost every class, weapon, and item in the game.
junior hare
I'm surprised they hit THAT hard
kinda weird that they nerf the weapon damage bonus instead of nerfing the attribute
gloomy summit
Rogues literally one or two-shot people, it needed to be hit that hard if not harder
Will see how much damage it now deals, might still be enough
gloomy summit
you did not need full build lol, a blue dagger was enough for full PDR people, and you can grab any for 50g
dawn viper
omg the dagger nerf
prenerf starter rondel is 17 dmg, nerfed gray rondel from shop is 15 dmg
new started rondel is only 13 dmg
jesus fuck
You're actually better off punching then using the starter dagger
punching does more dmg
junior hare
i bet they did that to nerf the goblin cave troll farmers
force them to actually risk something and bring in gear, otherwise you have to fight the troll for 6 mins
gloomy summit
arent warlocks farming the troll harder atm
with hellfire spam
Well I suppose extracting would be easier with rogue
junior hare
since they're not wiping levels, I'll probably grind out my warlock and fighter again in preparation
spent half my assets now on pre-nerf cleric gear
I'm gonna be JUICED
silent hornet
wait what?! WIPE already?!
They gutted the rouges too?!
I was just starting having fun with that class man
dawn viper
yeah, you kinda have to use rapiers now on rogue
or its 0 dmg daggers lol
starter rondel dagger has the same dmg as a torch
gloomy summit
gloomy summit
junior hare
oof, feels bad
gloomy summit
Did some bossing practice for the next wipe, number one issue was different teams contesting us
Ghost king is such a pushover its not even funny
Lich on the other hand, all it takes is one hit and you're done, and he tosses one attack every 3 seconds
junior hare
did they fix the invis pools yet?
gloomy summit
haven't seen any invis ones
junior hare
Ghost king is such a pushover its not even funny
the jump fucks me 50% of the time
gloomy summit
we managed to not get hit by it so far, unlike our friends who died every time
junior hare
i have to jump before he moves upward or else it always hits me
junior hare
yeah I might have to start doing that
junior hare
Lich on the other hand, all it takes is one hit and you're done, and he tosses o...
can't you just perma strafe him?
gloomy summit
Until mechanics happen
If you strafe to close to someone else it can hit them instead
Also forces you to group up every time pink curse cast
worst offender is honestly the slow missile
especially when he casts pink curse immediately after
HR also has the swarm attack that forces you to be way closer to the boss
For show, he does 3 different mechanics at the start of the video
Oh man that buckler block at 0:20 was sexy as hell 
silent hornet
Iām never trusting a random for being friendly again. I just experienced being backstabbed.. 
junior hare
junior hare
nothing tilts me more than people opening trade on you trying to sell their shit
it's like door to door salesman but in-game
gloomy summit
I don't often get it, but my friend did immediately when he entered the bard channel after their biggest nerf
There were like maybe 60 people in it and people in there are just desperate at this point
silent hornet
gloomy summit
There is a lot to say about whats new in this update so I'm just gonna post the welcome message instead
gloomy summit
junior hare
did they nerf bows slowing yet?
junior hare
i'm probably skipping this wipe then
gloomy summit
wait really?
My brain must have kept skipping past that information
So its straight-up better lightfoot boots
junior hare
my biggest gripe is that anytime there are item changes, they only have the change apply to future item rolls, so it weirdly fucks both the game balance and market
and there's no reason they can't retroactively change items either (could've just had all +3 all attribute items -> +1 all, and it would be a quick script to do)
tardy rain
my biggest gripe is that anytime there are item changes, they only have the chan...
tbf, this is why wipes are a thing.
they didn't do a stash/progression wipe with this update right?
gloomy summit
wouldn't be a wipe if they didn't
XP stayed
Almost all the items in the game are radically different right now
it went from items being only used for their modifiers to rare items always being good thanks to base stats
gloomy summit
also warlock is fun as fuck
We've been griefing people so hard
If they even make so much as a step towards us, we drop an earthquake into hydra, helfire and an explosive bottle
gloomy summit
Its over
This hotfix is god awful
Like
What the FUCK
They enabled absoulety insane values on items
gloomy summit
They finally slowed down ttk to where it felt good
Just to drop the lowest ttk in the games existence
From +1 max on items to +5
Mages, rangers and archers about to grab gear with +10 damage on a single slot
I seriously don't understand
junior hare
gloomy summit
There are additional items beyond rubysilver and cobalt now yeah
And the modifiers are previews now, so its no longer gambling
tardy rain
And the modifiers are previews now, so its no longer gambling
wait wdym
so are you able to select your desired stats with different associated costs or something?
gloomy summit
no they just show like any other items in the store
tardy rain
ohhhhhh
gloomy summit
Yep, I could have sworn it didn't work when I tried it on release
Maybe they bugged it
Either way, we played one high-roller, queued into one of the rank 1 leaderboard grinders, got one-shot cheesed by chain lightning on a hydra
dawn viper
you can life drain it also
gloomy summit
sure but life drain is dookie
gloomy summit
gloomy summit
Also I recommend not going high-roller until they hotfix warlock
People are abusing Hydra + Chain Lightning
gloomy summit
So apparently the devs didn't like how high the ttk was after the wipe, so much so that they decided to release this demon of a hotfix right before the weekend
I hope they don't push this game in a direction against their playerbase's wishes
tardy rain
It's gonna be a lot of fiddling around and seeing what works.
junior hare
I think they need to straight up remove weapon damage and probably wizard invis to get combat/market to the right spot next
not sure if there's really an elegant solution to removing the buff ball meta, or if they're even interested in taking it in that direction given that it's been the main comp since Feb
with how easy it is to level a character, it would be nice to get viable comp variety other than bard + cleric/wizard
junior hare
oh it changed that much for this wipe? literally every leaderboard team still had bard even post nerf on last wipe
gloomy summit
gear is abundant right now
and stats are too high
so rogue/wizard/ranger just destroy everything
and the most toxic comp right now is warlock and wizard
just chain lightning off hydra
free one-shots around corners
gloomy summit
just need more balancing on warlock
and hopefully a deserverd nerf to chain lightning already
vocal tendon
Nah clearly wizard needs a buff
i am not at all biased by the fact that magic users are always my favorite in video games

Interesting hotfix coming up
sweeping changes to most gear and modifiers, have to see how it turns out, but merchants got shafted, thank god, and dungeon loot has been "significantly" increased
quartz nacelle
all my gear that I bought yesterday got destroyed 
junior hare
gloomy summit
My 60% PDR 51 Strength bard build is gone
Including my 3 backup sets
Which is good
Means fights will be a lot fairer
And we won't run into 300 HP barbarians
Also warlocks will remain poor
gloomy summit
gloomy summit
there is currently an issue with the inventory where no items will be saved past whenever the problem started
So right now people are duping like crazy, but you can also practice bosses with no risk of losing gear
You just restart the game to roll back
gloomy summit
Before the hotfix as in the one thats being worked on before the game is playable again
I've just been logging in and out to do the HR Troll with full gear
Also
"Additionally, as an apology for all of these inconveniences, we plan to provide 5 Blue Stone Shards to all players who log in after Hotfix #16. "
Even for those who haven't played today
quartz nacelle
yeah its a problem that trader chats are full of legendries
gloomy summit
gloomy summit
Item random modifiers have been rebalanced back to similar to hotfix #14.
The total amount of Additional/True Magical Damage that can be obtained has been slightly increased.
All Attributes was limited to a maximum of 1.
unlucky
at least all + has been limited
quartz nacelle
Yeah anything over 1 is a bit much imo
gloomy summit
junior hare
i just start my prices high up and then slowly work them downward
silent hornet
OK so far I've learned, people are willing to buy moldy bread for 25g each and intact skulls for 60g each
Still selling hehe 
silent hornet
bro gold ingots are so expensive 
I need like 7 to make make a ring and it likes 800-900 an ingot
gloomy summit
these sell dependent on who's looking for them at the time, most common ingredients sell from 50-100g. with wolf parts going up to 200-300 for claws and fangs and up to 400 for pelts
Its one of those things you have might have to try multiple times selling, since people only buy when the weaponsmith rolls well and then spend the next 30 minutes scrounging up the parts

slightly nerfed the hit slow but didnt remove it

For testing purposes, you can now only enter āNormal' Dungeons with Rare grade items or lower. Higher grade items found in the dungeon can be used during that session.
about to see a spike in Rare item costs
gloomy summit
how my friend put it:
purple with 3 str +1 all, + 3 wep dmg, 50g, blue with 2 str, 2hp, 600g

on the plus side, it also sounds like naked vulturing in normals will be more profitable

We will be conducting Hotfix #18 patch on October 26th (UTC), which will entail an early closure of the leaderboard and a wipe. At this time, only the items will be wiped. Hotfix #18 will definitely bring changes to the game direction based on the results of testing conducted so far.
In order to allow time to assess the outcomes of these changes, Patch #2, which was originally scheduled for early November, will be postponed slightly and is now expected to take place in mid-November. Patch #2 comes with a wipe of all characters, items, and Triumph levels. We will provide further details in the patch notes. Thank you.

We had a round in HR with one team running 2 two druids
The entire module was covered in vines
and my team did not have a fun time figuring out which treant was friendly
oh and one bear overhead took 130 HP away from me, from a druid with just decent blue gear
glad mason
Wait is there even a reason to buy the game anymore now? Since normals doesnāt have gear restrictions anymoreā¦.
gloomy summit
Geared normals are insanely boring
It would just be oneshotting mobs, running down players who brought a green helmet and not getting a single upgrade
If you don't own the game you only have one character slot, no trading and no shared stash
gloomy summit

the other day, i sniped a rat druid with a francisca axe from like 15m away

Highroller is a lot more enjoyable too now that the additional stats arent ridiculous

junior hare
yeah that's the first thing i'm doing when it's up
junior hare
FYI if you're trying to link your accounts, you need to GET YOUR CODE FROM BLACKSMITH first by logging into the game through blacksmith, going to options > platform
gloomy summit
You should also be aware that it locks you out of the market (and I assume HR too) from the newly linked account for 72 hours
can still access it on blacksmith fine but on steam I'm locked out of the market
gloomy summit
They did a significant level crunch in the multiclass season
3-4 good runs is enough to get level 20 now
junior hare
can still access it on blacksmith fine but on steam I'm locked out of the market
I'm locked out of Trading but not out of the Marketplace
gloomy summit
You should not be able to list items
You can still buy items* I should have been more specific
As of this hotfix its available to F2P players

gloomy summit
I'm trying to make copperlight attire for the tailor quest but they roll too well and I'm forced to sell them
junior hare
I haven't seen any of this new gear type
for like 3 wipes
are grimsmile rings worth saving mats for?
gloomy summit
Haven't played much HR last season but grimsmile rings have huge base stats
I'd save some mats for them
5 Strength + Luck and 3 additionals
junior hare
shiiiet okay
gloomy summit
I made some for the free 10 strength and if they rolled huge stats you can resell them for a few k
also free market tip
people are being incredibly lazy rn
and buying attires for 1500 flat
to finish the quest
quickest way to make money right now is play a class that gives you wanderer attire or occultist pants in common quality
go mine copper ore and make an item worth 1500 out of it
junior hare
where do you mine copper? I've only ever seen cobalt and gold nodes
gloomy summit
damn you saw gold nodes before copper? gamer
Copper has a few potential spawns in the mining module in the goblin caves
top right
with the bridge and scaffolding and guaranteed exit
junior hare
gloomy summit
it used to be in the center too but I think they removed it, haven't seen any there this season
junior hare
what's the best thing to do with silver coins?
gloomy summit
turn them in at the collector for the quest lmao
junior hare
none of the silver stuff worth making?
I've got like 500 silver i've just been holding
gloomy summit
common ones for <25 gear score lobbies sure
junior hare
ahh ok
gloomy summit
I think silver weapons go up to blue? maybe even purple
I think purple is where unique craftable items start so unlikely

glad mason
squire allows you to get a free crossbow as a fighter š
gloomy summit
crossbows fell off
glad mason
still a free like 30 damage on initiate
gloomy summit
barbarians are the best melee class right now
tardy rain
barb mains stay winning
gloomy summit
they thankfully gutted agility MS scaling but its still very easy to have a tanky high MS build
tardy rain
I'm assuming they finally nerfed full plate fighters
gloomy summit
that depends entirely when you last played
Fighters fell off hard but plate got buffed this season
I'm unsure what the current PDR cap is but its not 90% like 3 seasons ago
tardy rain
that's the season I remember
gloomy summit
oh yeah then you can say they got gutted
tardy rain
so just stack as much movespeed on barb you say
gloomy summit
Stack as much HP with Robust and Movementspeed, yeah

gloomy summit
Molotovs
junior hare
do I just hoard these
no roll them, it's gamba, but wait for me so i can tell you which items are worth more
glad mason
is there a reason copper is so much more expensive than cobalt even though cobalt gear is better?
gloomy summit
Because copper gear is better
Movementspeed % > Armor Pen
And demand for quest progress
tardy rain
I feel like I've hit every single room now, but where tf is stone graves a in goblin cave @dawn viper

atomic bronze
man fighter sprint does suck
played against a wizard that knew what he was doing and got shit on
also the one time I find cobalt is the time I didn't bring a pickaxe with me 
gloomy summit
sprint got gutted (deservedly) and is not worth bringing anymore
I like breakthrough, it only has 12 seconds downtime and makes you immune to any slows
including the slow from getting hit
Also not a single melee class in the game can beat a warlock/wizard that know what they're doing
Only counter is ranger and you better not miss any shots
junior hare
might be able to 1-shot with windlass now
gloomy summit
The longbow buff is giving me a headache
junior hare
time to melee multishot as ranger again
what comp are yall running for trios usually?
gloomy summit
cleric barbarian and + whatever I feel like playing
ideally it would be warlock but I don't enjoy playing it
so it ends up being bard or druid
junior hare
gloomy summit
cleric still king of healing because druid has no scaling on spells because ???
so druid is pure utility for stopping pushes or splitting enemies
junior hare
what's the cleric spell loadout?
junior hare
didn't expect strike
gloomy summit
divine strike gets exchanged with earthquake depending on comp
brother divine strikes is like ranged 50+ damage with gear
junior hare
wtf, jesus
gloomy summit
unless I confused the name
junior hare
holy strike?
gloomy summit
other skill is smite
8 base magic damage per hit that scales with will, magic damage and HS multiplier
junior hare
oh interesting, i'll have to try that
gloomy summit
and since no one has mres
its basically true damage
I'm flipping Windlass, Longbows and Gold Ore the moment the servers go up
gloomy summit
they changed the gold ore quest to ingots so I assume the idea was not gating the quest behind learning both bosses
junior hare
oh NO
gloomy summit
so I expect the gold price to shoot up
junior hare
can you craft grim smile yet?
gloomy summit
Unsure
All crypt maps we played didn't spawn the dark library tile
so we're still on step 1
junior hare
i havent played in like 3 wipes so i'm still catching up on a lot
gloomy summit
progress got changed a bit so who knows
still seeing if craftable purples are here yet or not
we're on the final weaponsmith step
junior hare
i regret not buying more wolf pelts
i see extra thick pelts more often than wolf pelts as drops
seems weird given it's a rare
gloomy summit
always been like this somehow
seems like the droprate is more accurate as normal>rare>uncommon>epic
the wendigo claw step was impossible last season
two quests needed them, we finished neither as a group
TIME TO FLIP
junior hare
go go go
junior hare
LOL

CLARITIES
jesus christ you gotta farm an entire garden for just one
wait they dont even work while mobile, you have to sit
junior hare
skyrocketing or skydiving

Rocketing
gloomy summit
diving
atomic bronze
wait I checked twice and they were double the second time I checked
did it go down that fast?
junior hare
it was like 90g last night, then went to 200g each when servers were up, now they're at ~140ish
gloomy summit
people are playing ranger again so purple spears are also going up
tropic furnace
I only just found out that you needed to collect your sale earlier today. š
Was a nice little boost in gold though.
junior hare
my craziest haul yet
junior hare
@manic verge
junior hare
me and my 18 coin bags are surprised pikachu rn
gloomy summit
I love dying to someone I can't run after, takes away 1/3 of my health with an infinite spell, and just presses phantomize if they do a misplay so they aren't punishable
gloomy summit
Interact with golden door has been changed to turn in two golden keys handled
They shot up 600%, time to sell before the bubble bursts
junior hare
dayum
junior hare
i've got 24 coin bags now 
junior hare
I haven't been running HR yet
gloomy summit
if you have alts can be a good to way make some massive money from the free gold key
I have been gambling on the goblin merchant every chance I get and I am decently in the plus
trying to get that artifact drop
junior hare
wait you can get artifacts from goblin gamba?
gloomy summit
yes
junior hare
gloomy summit
Unfortunate about the will
gloomy summit
is that not ideal for clerics?
Will is ideal for no one
its an ok sub-stat
All casters want Knowledge for casting speed
manic verge
What do you guys think of this
junior hare
warhammer
junior hare
gold shot back up, did something change?
gloomy summit
last week of quests unlock in a few hours
junior hare
ohhh
gloomy summit
means gold equipment and I believe a few select gold weapons exist too?
two seasons ago it was insanely busted (like +3 all attributes baseline cape) but it was heavily nerfed last season
remains to be seen what stat they'll have this time
because grimsmile having 3 vigor 2 strength is already dumb
junior hare
look they're fwends
gloomy summit
Me when I kill both bosses in goblin caves
I have made too much money today
all the juicers came out in normals to grind quests
Its not selling fast enough
my stash is crying
also the market is being flooded with grimsmile rings
they go as low as 400g
glad mason
i didnt even think you could get move bonus and add move speed on the same item
gloomy summit
a pair of lightfoot boots with +5 added and move % will set you for the rest of the wipe money-wise
junior hare
I auto ape every bard and cleric I see
literally every single one that says they're friendly always ends up trying to backstab
I would've thought it'd be barbs who did that
gloomy summit
God I'm so mad the devs broke shadowplay for this game
I had the funniest shit ever happen to me
I was chasing down a ranger who was terrified of me (rightfully so, I took 60% off his health with one Judgement)
An enemy team opens a door in front of him, he shouts in Proximity chat HELP ME HELP ME PLEASE
He runs into them, they close the door behind him
Then I hear a muffled "thank you thank you"
followed by the sound of being stabbed to death
I was in fucking shambles
gloomy summit
it made the gear bracket above also more fun because the chance of running into geared people is higher
no longer will timmy who is DYING to bring his green leather cap into the dungeon take a up a slot in the geared lobby
junior hare
how's the population in HR lobbies?
and are there actual cosmetic rewards other than borders for hitting higher ranks?
gloomy summit
dunno one friend HATES HR so we're never going there
its seasonal rewards per rank
first three are worthless, starting at t4 you get cosmetic rewards
last season was frost walker, which had +3 HP and -1,5 Action Speed, an Ice torch that I don't use because it hurts my eyes, an icey campfire skin and frozen bottle reskins
gloomy summit
They have for the first time not done a weekly hotfix so its likely they're cooking something bigger at the moment
maybe arena in 1-2 days
gloomy summit
I'm shitposting on Cleric
No weapon, just a shield
Judgment, Smite
fist people for 21 magic damage
if they unsheathe weapon walk away and judgement for 60 damage
junior hare
jesus christ that's a fast holy boi
manic verge
Nice gamba
gloomy summit
So I predicted spider silk will shoot up in price with the new craftables today
So I invested
and lo
there are now only 3 spider silk left on the market
š
and I bought at 50-100g
manic verge
Sounds like im gonna be winning some moneys
junior hare
spider silk was so hard for me to find that my quest completion for it came from looting it from a player
junior hare
whoa first time getting troll's blood from both cyclops and troll in the same run
the enemy body loot time increase is insane
manic verge
Yes it super is
I killed a barb earlier and it's like I had to lure him on a wall to wall for him to die
gloomy summit
junior hare
i've been a busy boi

Goodness oshi you've been really busy LOL
gloomy summit
Just ran into three games in a row with Russians and Chinese teaming in HR Ice Cavern
Opened the Pyramid Room, suddenly Mandarin yelling
we actually won that fight, but the Russians were 4 Barbarians in full gold and 2 clerics
Evacuated those lobbies immediately
gloomy summit
gloomy summit
Ive been big braining AP gains
I keep buying trash legendary items and drop them in the lobby for people to pick up
they turn looted and give +20 AP per slot
junior hare
i thought they stayed handled 
gloomy summit
Items you loot from enemy players turn looted
we tested this, usually a squire gear rogue comes and scoops everything up
then we hunt them down
junior hare
LMAO
gloomy summit
legendary ozerants run 150 gold
I fit three into my inventory
its 6x20 AP
Need to test if this works with royal gems
so I can go get that gold chest already
I'm considering gambling on Froststone ore
the quests for it should unlock in 80 minutes
IF there is 6th week of quests coming now
junior hare
godspeed if you do
is 1k their usual price for a stack?
could've sworn it was 500 last week
junior hare
oh yeah it definitely already shot up then
gloomy summit
man you can easily make some money if you just camp the market frontpage
someone put this up for 90
gloomy summit
the new quests don't look like they'll unlock anything
