all people are here

[junior jungle]

public

lmao

oops

[sly escarp]

Welcome

[cursive lotus]

holy carp, this server was here the entire time? i thought the prelude server was the only one

[gleaming tusk]

Guess us preludes gotta wait

[cursive lotus]

do i at least get seniority

[clear vector]

Did you guys all choose public server?

[smoky crater]

well we kinda had to 👀

[clear vector]

wat

[smoky crater]

they're merging this and the private one

[clear vector]

???

[fast crypt]

wiping old server

rip

[half coral]

rip

[clear vector]

For some reason I had options to choose "Dev", "Public" and "Test"

[brazen sparrow]

Well.. it's not wiped.. just getting locked

[smoky crater]

well the private server won't be gone gone, just on read only

[fast crypt]

so we can still browse it for info? archived? thats good

[dusky tangle]

Please let us pet the camel

[fast crypt]

weird dog

[smoky crater]

end of an era i suppose

[fast crypt]

beginning of a new one

everyone can play now 😄

[smoky crater]

nnnooo

[vagrant eagle]

What is going on?

[smoky crater]

private and public discord are gettin merged

[civic tangle]

the preludes tester discord is merged with this discord now

[vagrant eagle]

Ah, ok. That's cool, I suppose.

[gleaming tusk]

Wonder if they are gonna add preludes specific channels

[forest pond]

I somehow missed there was a public one in the first place

[smoky crater]

this already is one

[civic tangle]

there really isn't a reason to have preludes specific channel, when gaining access is so easy!

[forest pond]

You needn’t worry about a lack of place to discuss Preludes; the main server has been expanded with a section for gameplay discussion, bug reports and feedback—all that which we’ve used countlessly.

from the announcement in the other server

[civic tangle]

besides, the NDA hasn't been a thing for quite a while, so people can stream and discuss freely

[smoky crater]

oh yeah it was the anniversary for no NDA 17 days ago i think

[civic tangle]

so there really isn't a reason to have tester exclusive chats

[brazen sparrow]

Well the bug reports and contents were still gated, i suppose.

[serene verge]

Anyone know if we get discord rolls for for being in preludes, or founders?

[gleaming tusk]

Founders i imagine would, since ya know, they paid

[civic tangle]

might depend if they have a way to automate it

[smoky crater]

does the warframe discord have roles for founders?

[civic tangle]

there's probably going to be quite a few people buying founders, and even more joining preludes, so if they can't automate it then it'll be quite the task to manually assign it...

[serene verge]

Maybe they could validate preludes by people who are in the preludes sever after the freeze

[gleaming tusk]

Automation is possible

[buoyant ferry]

saw some people say that the bot didn't give them the green role despite them joining the preludes

[sly escarp]

Everyone is meant to have the Envoy role - game access or no!

[smoky crater]

that happens sometimes yeah, automod having a rough time

[cyan fjord]

Dang

[frank wren]

how do i do this

[sly escarp]

With the flood of folks the roles are just being a bit slow to get added

[civic tangle]

yeah, envoy is the generic role given to everyone

[smoky crater]

||come back to the door during the night||

[next marsh]

I went back at night and for whatever reason the thing that should happened did not imo do other things.

[buoyant ferry]

well it at least shows the game really has a promise and a future since its really a fun game

[smoky crater]

if nothing happens, going into nightfold and back out can help

[gleaming tusk]

I keep losing track my my pup in there, lol

[half talon]

They can be found in 4 different locations: ||In the library up the stairs by Orlick; by the forge near Tuvalkane, in your tent snoozing by the fire, or in your tent standing at the entrance||

[crimson viper]

Wait, ayo we're getting mounts finally!

[gleaming tusk]

Am I wrong to assume Tuvalkane is leveled by crafting?

[crimson viper]

No you wouldn't not be not wrong

[fossil valve]

Hmmmm

[gleaming tusk]

Sadly no

[crimson viper]

It says in the prelude 12 slideshow

Oh wait is current prelude preludes 10? I forgot to keep track

[civic tangle]

are you referring to the "fast travel with wevetseeds?"

[crimson viper]

Yeah

[civic tangle]

that's literal fast travel

[crimson viper]

Oh it says weavet seeds. Not weave steeds

[civic tangle]

yeah, no mounts yet sadly

[sterile blaze]

Hello All. 👋

[crimson viper]

Its fine

I just wish i could find the tree in the south-south-west of the map

[civic tangle]

the closet to a mount we have is Orengall's 1

[crimson viper]

The thing doesn't exist

[tall void]

Hey so if I have a question about a dungeon puzzle would I ask here or spoiler chat?

[crimson viper]

Use your nature sight

[tall void]

I'll try spoiler

[crimson viper]

We know what puzzle it is

Use nature sight to see the things on the walls

I think its keybind is on tab? Idk i put mine on like Q

[halcyon thicket]

default on Q

[crimson viper]

[halcyon thicket]

tab is nightfold

[gleaming tusk]

I like the hold to enter, no more accidental during fights

[crimson viper]

Yes omg

"To the shadow realm you go!" no more

Ironically, that message failed to send the first time

[buoyant ferry]

would be nice if ||the pups will be our mounts||

[visual bane]

i preferred the tap who knows maybe they will make it a option in future

[buoyant ferry]

did they say when preludes 12 gonna be released?

[civic tangle]

i believe thats most likely the case

[halcyon thicket]

nov 25

[smoky crater]

along with founders

[civic tangle]

i do wonder if the swords engraved name changes if the player changes their name

[gleaming tusk]

Likely does

[buoyant ferry]

gonna have fun finally being able to fast travel

[gleaming tusk]

Limited

[civic tangle]

yeah i'd imagine it's bound to an account ID instead of just copying their name

[buoyant ferry]

better than nothing

[gleaming tusk]

True

[crimson viper]

Bro thinks programmers use logic

😂

[buoyant ferry]

yea and also our items and resources will remain in the next preludes or will there be reset?

[crimson viper]

I think they'll be reset

[civic tangle]

right now a lot of the stuff you have to fast travel for is very concentrated, it shouldn't be too bad

[crimson viper]

And you'll get like a cool cape or something

[smoky crater]

plan is to not have resets

any. resets.

[autumn hull]

no reset if possible going forward

[civic tangle]

yes, they did the "big one" quite a few preludes ago (P6?)

[smoky crater]

optional resets will most likely be coming at some point tho

[civic tangle]

after that, they said they plan to not reset at all

[crimson viper]

Idk i wouldn't mind a reset when the resource drops get more refined

[smoky crater]

yeah P7 release was the last forced reset for everyone

[halcyon thicket]

@sly escarp sorry for ping, a little broken emote for channel name

[crimson viper]

Cuz rn "this thing exists, go find 45 of it" kinda sucks

[civic tangle]

well, that's kinda how warframe worked too :p

[smoky crater]

not bugged for me

[halcyon thicket]

weird

[crimson viper]

Intentional 😂

[autumn hull]

some people want an optional reset but scott has said multiple times they are trying to avoid a full one

[crimson viper]

The bug channel is bugged

[mystic slate]

i can change bug emojis

[smoky crater]

bugggg

[crimson viper]

[halcyon thicket]

its working on my phone, it's only broken on discord browser

[civic tangle]

yeah that bug emoji might not be supported by some systems/font types

[mystic slate]

worlds most funny unintentional bug

[gleaming tusk]

Yeah

[eternal anvil]

So, question, do we think Precklies is going to stay the hilariously rare common drop we know and beloathe

[halcyon thicket]

actually

[civic tangle]

the worm emoji might be ok?

[mystic slate]

worm time

[halcyon thicket]

i see the new one

ty

[civic tangle]

🪱

[buoyant ferry]

i want fishing on soulframe

[halcyon thicket]

probably gonna come

[gleaming tusk]

Might come, ya never know

[buoyant ferry]

i want to grind 200 hours just doing nothing but fishing while wearing no armor

[sly escarp]

Looking into it

Oh, Sam got it

[halcyon thicket]

yep

[raw heart]

Does the shewolf quest end with releasing her from the chains? I have no more quest steps and shewolf doesn't appear in the fables tab

[buoyant ferry]

just wait and she will come back

[raw heart]

Gotcha ty

[vagrant kayak]

This might be a better question for #spoiler-chat

[buoyant ferry]

oh yea i forgot that the server is merged

[sly matrix]

Hello everyone!

[buoyant ferry]

Feels weird seeing my name being typed

[foggy quest]

oh hushed

[half talon]

Sus

[buoyant ferry]

hello

[visual bane]

We need hushed 1 and hushed 2

[foggy quest]

u mean my name?

[civic tangle]

also reminder to stock up on the rare materials for next preludes!

[buoyant ferry]

techincally our name

[ruby marsh]

[sly matrix]

Who is the original Hushed? The OG Hushed

[civic tangle]

namely sappheline/moranite

[visual bane]

Their accounts older wo it is theirs

[buoyant ferry]

well the one who got the name "Hushed" in soulframe

[foggy quest]

dang

thats why i need to put underscore on mine

[visual bane]

Your discord account is also the older one

[sly matrix]

So Hushed is the OG and Hushed is the imposter. Got it

[foggy quest]

got hushed on wf tho

[civic tangle]

can we get a 3rd hushed to decide this for us

[smoky crater]

so we have 2 OG Hushed's

[foggy quest]

then theres the collector

[pliant mauve]

is og hushed getting the paragon?

[foggy quest]

@tepid forge what about you?

[buoyant ferry]

In warframe, i accidently used my real name instead

[pliant mauve]

a hushed paragon would make a nice addition to my collection

[civic tangle]

im sad my name is impossible ;w;

[pliant mauve]

holy your dc username-

[civic tangle]

dont look at that

[pliant mauve]

it's too late

[civic tangle]

i am NOT using that name for soulframe

[foggy quest]

I just looked

[civic tangle]

i'll get smitten from existence

[visual bane]

Same

[buoyant ferry]

I see it just an average name for me

[foggy quest]

wait .. sooo.. your paw

[visual bane]

I've seen far worse

[buoyant ferry]

same after playing the finals

[visual bane]

I saw most erm bad names on fortnite

[foggy quest]

oops I forgor were in gameplay discussion. hush hush now guys

[sly matrix]

We are discussing Gameplay... We gotta find the Hushed Imposter

Bet it's an Ode spy

[distant jungle]

Smote, but probably yeah.

I'd also like it to get smote from my eyes.

[visual bane]

They're everywhere fr

[brazen sparrow]

so this channel is just for the gameplay and the other for general tomfoolery?

[visual bane]

Probs

[mystic slate]

think of this as the original preludes general - focus is on gameplay!

whereas envoy-gathering is for everything general otherwise

[visual bane]

This one gameplay other one basically the equivalent of off topic

[fervent blaze]

Our new home

[foggy quest]

can I ask what was your lunch there?

[halcyon thicket]

huh

[smoky crater]

related question, has Konzu still not had his early lunch?

[marble jay]

Hello everyone,

Do we now if a wipe is going to come with the release of the game ?

I would like to play a lot and invest time in Soulframe but I don't want to do it if my progress will be erase.

[smoky crater]

plan is for no resets at all.

doesn't mean it's 100% guaranteed, just that they're aiming for that

[buoyant ferry]

Well then i don't think DE will like me after using this envoy title

[fossil dragon]

Apparently I'm terrible at action combat game.

[unique crypt]

Can someone explain the grey health bars that some bosses have? I'm trying to fight the Mendicant King, but my attacks do 1 damage and I can't really do anything. I have killed him dozens of times before, never seen a grey health bar. is this some new mechanic? I just started preludes 11 recently

[buoyant ferry]

it means his armor stat is higher than your attack dmg itself

if you have tethern pact, just use 1 or 2 depends on your build and the problem is solved and the boss gets melted

[distant jungle]

Try using heavy attacks, throws, making sure you have a joinery equipped, and consider an attack beaver.

[fervent blaze]

Your weapon is weak but some weapons can power through that grey bar, like throwing headshots

[distant jungle]

The latter two tend to solve the armor problem.

[unique crypt]

that's... dumb. so you are locked into specific pacts and attacks in order to kill some bosses? not a very fun system imo

[rich breach]

After the 25th, when real money has been spent, it would be very unpopular if they did a reset for basically any reason, heh.

[smoky crater]

well not really

[distant jungle]

You are not, they're just ways to get around it. Again, joinery and attack beaver.

[smoky crater]

some catastrophic issue could still pop up where it wouldn't be a way to get around it without a reset

[distant jungle]

And it's a new system, it'll be balanced later.

[sly escarp]

Not really, you can kill them with any pact or weapon. But some do more dmaage and thus are easier to fight bosses with. Other builds may require things like fully levelled totems and high tier joineries to be effective in comparison

[buoyant ferry]

wouldn't really call it dumb

[unique crypt]

I just think the bosses worked just fine before. not really sure what the point of this is

[distant jungle]

Refining challenge, they 'worked fine' by all being laughably irrelevant.

We need some kind of scaling.

[unique crypt]

hmm, that's fair. they really need to mention it in-game though, right now there's no info. very confusing

[buoyant ferry]

tbh you can just use tethern pact and use 1 and 2 (depends on the build) and then you will be able to actually melt any bosses in the game even with 1 star weapons since i have beaten ||the waste bear|| with only using wuldur (imo)

[unique crypt]

and not all bosses have them

[eternal anvil]

though it does make Nimrod absolutely infuriating if you don't have a rank 30 pact

[distant jungle]

All bosses do have armor, it just only shows as gray when it's too high for your light attack damage, which'll ofc happen more often in higher level areas and with big bosses like Nimrod.

[smoky crater]

well bosses aren't meant to be pushovers exactly

[distant jungle]

But if you slap a joinery on and a beaver totem in an attack slot, it'll become a lot more rare.

Especially on any weapon that isn't a mainhand short blade.

Which have a particular problem with low base damage.

[sly escarp]

It was only added in p11

So it's very new

Hoepfully once the system is more dialed in a tutorial will be added to help

[fervent blaze]

It's not only about bosses, if your gear is underpowered - even normal enemies can have grey health bar

I suspect even tho the system is not perfect yet with this damage attenuation whatnot, in party members of 3, I suspect even those grey health bar bosses can be cheesed

[silver rampart]

Is the ||wolf puppy|| I choose like a perma choice?

[plucky junco]

you can change it by replaying the fable, i believe

[silver rampart]

Ok

[keen cave]

hey so I've been playing since the first round of invites on and off and came back after a time. I've already done the Orengall quest and thought I had some extra coins to spend and bought the pact for 5000 but didn't unlock anything at all. Am I missing something?

[fervent blaze]

To replay the fable you access it in your codex btw

[plucky junco]

you still need to craft it afterwards, if you haven't already

[keen cave]

I could already craft it before I bought that I thought?

[smoky crater]

what you did is you essentially bought a duplicate "blueprint" for it, considering you've already done the Orengall fable

[keen cave]

so I just blew 5k. that's pretty frustrating. Ok ty for the info

[smoky crater]

it's mainly for if you happen to sell the pact and then want to recraft it

granted, dracs aren't all too hard to come by.

[distant jungle]

600k and climbing, yeah.

[smoky crater]

rolling thru all crates and barrels in sight helps a lot

[distant jungle]

And that's nothing compared to some.

[smoky crater]

think im at 1.16 mil 👀

[tame verge]

If I wanna run some endless grind, do I need to just go into a random Glades dungeon or any specific one?

[fervent blaze]

It's okay 5k isn't a lot of money in soulframe

[keen cave]

i only had 7k at the time of buying it so it stings a bit for me atm

[smoky crater]

from what i know, the entrance at Garren Shrine tends to spawn quite large dungeons so might have better luck there

[keen cave]

like I said only playing occasionally. I haven't fully gotten into the swing of it like I have with warframe yet, but ty again for all the info

[fervent blaze]

Pretend you're Link from Zelda and smash everything in your vicinity in towns or dungeons and you will be rich

[keen cave]

actually have another question. What's the quickest way to obtain a secondary weapon?

[tame verge]

^ Find where they drop from and farm that spot

[ionic widget]

Weaver (spider boss) drops a few different sidearms

[keen cave]

ooph. no quest for one eh? gotcha

[rich breach]

Yup, and the virtue bonus can be changed the same way

[sly escarp]

When you meet the blacksmith she gives you one, outside of that, probably killing Knell Knight and Etheldred

Maybe Ruthos too

[fervent blaze]

The crypt has a sidearm that requires just one blueprint to build

[keen cave]

not sure i found that one yet. I'll look

[sly escarp]

Did they not remove that drop?

And add it to the bosses?

[ionic widget]

Which one?

[keen cave]

there a specific crypt or do you just mean any underground area?

[sly escarp]

Crypt is a dungeon type

[fervent blaze]

I hope not..

[sly escarp]

Entrance found in graveyards

Requires a key to open

[ionic widget]

Which weapon?

[sly escarp]

Nettle

[keen cave]

gotcha. A lot has changed since preludes 1 so I'm very unfamiliar with all this

[ionic widget]

Nettle is quest, or Knell Knight

[keen cave]

I also don't know if I got a bp from meeting her since I did so very long ago but i'll keep at it. ty all again

[sly escarp]

If you met her already probably not

[keen cave]

https://tenor.com/view/whomp-whomp-gif-12107264

[fervent blaze]

The next option would be doing tier 1 faction quest..

[ionic widget]

I believe these 4 are all sidearm shortblades.

[ripe token]

Hello everyone! Can someone explain to me how to track quests in the game?

[ionic widget]

The drops are tracked by me when I get them so they should be accurate.

[half talon]

You'll have to discover them mostly. As you run into them, you will be able to track them.

[tame verge]

press G to let the sparrow guide you, Press J to see what active ones you have 🙂

[keen cave]

ooph yeah i got none of these lol

[whole owl]

Oh, it's so oldschool to use spreadsheets for tracking, brings me back

[whole owl]

check this out https://avakot.org/buddy

[ionic widget]

I know, I use the buddy app for keeping track of everything I have. I found it the same day I made all my spreadsheets, so I just use both lol

[fervent blaze]

Ah yes the spreadsheet of modern internet

[whole owl]

OOOOOOH You're the guy from reddit!?

[ionic widget]

Does anyone want to be that guy from reddit? xD

[keen cave]

hey what are the things I'm getting from playing music to animals while using spirit vision?

[whole owl]

(sorry if I'm wrong, it's just that someone posted their massive spreadsheet with all weapons and where to get them on reddit earlier and they also learned about avakot.org today 😅)

[brazen sparrow]

i'm a bit committed to my spreadsheet now.. it has legacy 😄

[fervent blaze]

They are totems, you can install them on your weapons to make them stronger

[ionic widget]

I didn't, but I would have! I stayed up all night long tracking everything, and then I found avakot.org right after and just had to laugh about it

[whole owl]

integrate with the public avakot api, easy data 😎

[brazen sparrow]

it even has smite chances and attunements and all of this noise.. from the NDA times..

[ionic widget]

oh wow. I need to start my joineries spreadsheet...

[whole owl]

That reminds me... I need to add joinery tracking to the buddy app lol

AND runes/totems tracking

[ionic widget]

I can't wait for some new runes.

[feral elm]

you're getting points you can spend to upgrade the strength of the totems you put on your gear

[potent bough]

yoy

[alpine cloud]

how the hell are you supposed to kill the stag?

[ionic widget]

Heavy attacks help.

[thin hazel]

charged heavy attacks if their hp is gray

[alpine cloud]

im a bow user

[ionic widget]

Or invite people that can help if you are struggling 🙂

[alpine cloud]

it turns grey, how do i undo that?

[thin hazel]

Also abilities that do damage bypass that armor. But yes, as Nuked said, that is the sure way!--

[alpine cloud]

all my attacks do 1 damage, ablities included

[sly escarp]

Moreso overwhelm it

Not bypass

So, if the ability is low damage

It still gets reduced

[ionic widget]

I sent you a msg in game if you wanna invite me I can help

[thin hazel]

ah it's because your bow is underpowered. Sometimes you need a better weapon, and/or need to level up more. Another thing is to add totems and a polished or blessed joinery with more damage/armor strip.

[exotic gale]

is 103 the highest def?

[thin hazel]

I suppose I did use the wrong phrasing there

[sly escarp]

123 is absolute max iirc

[exotic gale]

oh

[sly escarp]

Requires Magick and Flyblade runes and lots of stags

[exotic gale]

probably the pact

[thin hazel]

magic casters can hold 2 totems that give armor value ye

[alpine cloud]

sorry its been a while sense i played was just doing a quest

[exotic gale]

lemme change that rq

[unique crypt]

it's a new system they just introduced. I'm not sold on it, personally

[exotic gale]

hmm not seeing the change

[queen portal]

paladin ah mentality

what armor pieces/talisman did you use?

[exotic gale]

side arm

[queen portal]

been wanting to see if i could make a tank build

[exotic gale]

staff

what am i missing for the other 20 def?

[queen portal]

how are you negative on dust

[exotic gale]

good question lemme restart

[unique crypt]

I'm jealous of the runes... I just went through and killed all the world bosses and did not get a single rune

[queen portal]

are they rare?

[unique crypt]

I guess, or I'm just unlucky

[queen portal]

i have one (that red one) but its only for staffs it seems so i cant use it well

[sly escarp]

Swap these to ducks

[sly escarp]

And these to deer

For defense slots

[exotic gale]

reset to 0 after logging out

[thin hazel]

best thing to do is to join other players that host 'boss shares' in recruiting chat for best chances, and also just keeping an eye out for anyone that is generous and hosts bosses for free, no shares needed

[queen portal]

lmao

[queen portal]

oh wait this would greatly accelerate my mencidant king farming huh

[thin hazel]

definitely!

[unique crypt]

that's what we did when he first came out in order to get his set 😄 many shares were had

[exotic gale]

for staff, the ducks are t3 and deer are t1
is that going to somehow get more defense?

[sly escarp]

Deer may be less rare but they still provide more stats

[smoky blade]

m having a huge problem if anyone can help me boys

[sly escarp]

Wassup?

[smoky blade]

Spider doesnt spawn for me for 2 days

Only that but i can join others

[sly escarp]

Interesting

[smoky blade]

But it doesnt spawn for me anymore

[sly escarp]

Sounds like something to file a support ticket on

https://support.soulframe.com/

[smoky blade]

Thanks buddy

[lethal halo]

Are you relogging in at the spider pit?

[smoky blade]

No

[ionic widget]

They are very rare, some people have done 50+ runs with no rune drop

[plucky junco]

just to make sure, some people have had issues with etheldred not always spawning before finishing the waste bear fable

[smoky blade]

I didnt finish it

Ill go do it rn

[smoky blade]

Thank uuuuu

[unique crypt]

big yikes...

[smoky blade]

Anyone here plays using a bow?

[ionic widget]

I used avakot.org for the boss tracking, and did the fights every 3 hours to grind them. I have almost 2 of each rune at this point so it is just RNG

[unique crypt]

it's my preferred weapon

[smoky blade]

What do u think best pact for it?

[unique crypt]

I mostly use Sirin, the CC is great and it's nice being able to stealth away

but I've also had fun using Orengall with a smite build

[smoky blade]

Thanks buddy

[unique crypt]

at the moment I am leveling tempest and odiac, but I can see myself using a bow with tempest too if I found a courage joinery

[queen portal]

Use Blitzel

from what i understand, its probably the best bow (maybe not but i am biased and it looks sick) and it's courage scaling

[unique crypt]

in my experience Juniper beats it in pretty much every category, with the issue being it's grace scaling

[rocky ginkgo]

if i play the game will i keep my progress in the global launch ?

[ionic widget]

Yeah Juniper with Courage blessing is what I do

[queen portal]

afaik, yes

[queen portal]

yeah i figured juniper was the best, I just love how Blitzel looks

[unique crypt]

they have said they want to avoid wiping progress, but they can't promise it 100%

[queen portal]

and i cant wait for the new one they revealed in the last devstream

[rocky ginkgo]

nice

[unique crypt]

personally, if I have to go through farming tempest again, I might just skip it lol

that was soul crushing grind

[rocky ginkgo]

i played it at very first it had too much bugs but was fun but i stopped playing it cuz i thought its useless to play for no progress in the global one

[civic tangle]

perhaps the soulframe FAQ on the site should be copied into a new channel in the discord

[wicked harbor]

Hey I was wondering is there anyway to reset my progress and start at the same time as a friend? or is it like warframe where its account locked?

[plucky junco]

there's no way to restart currently

[wicked harbor]

Ah i figured as much but thank you for the confirmation

[plucky junco]

they talked about optional presets at some point, but that isn't here yet, unfortunately 🥹

[smoky blade]

They suggested me king for my gear but im still lost i wanna play with bow do u have any idea if smth is better?

[thin hazel]

you could get the Juniper if you haven't already, that's a great bow!

[ionic widget]

What is the name of the big golden chests? I know the basic, ode, and dendrit.

[sly escarp]

The banneret chests?

Looks like a sideways barrel?

[ionic widget]

Yes. Thank you!

[thin hazel]

or this one? https://wiki.avakot.org/Ode_Chest

ohh

[ionic widget]

I thought this was the banneret chest, since it needs a key from one.

[thin hazel]

right, ye I forgot bannerets now use the big one. Used to be where those were the medium chests, not any more hehe

[wicked harbor]

Also if an enemys health bar is grayed out with an x that means its too high a level for me right?

[thin hazel]

ye, you can use charged heavy attacks to hit more damage. But best thing to do is to look into better gear, leveling stuff, and also looking into getting totems and runes to put onto your weapons! As well as polished/blessed joineries to further increase damage!

[distant jungle]

Specifically it means they have too much armor for your light damage.

Solved via heavy attack, perfect throw, charged shot for bow, and by having a joinery on the weapon.

I'd also recommend a beaver in one of your attack slots if running melee.

[brazen sparrow]

another amazing sentence when viewed out of context. 😄

[distant jungle]

Not as good as me recommending an attack beaver, which got the same comment lol.

[hollow frost]

Support squirrel, defense deer, and attack beavers, oh my

[smoky blade]

I have a dumb question concerning smites

[distant jungle]

I just noticed that I'm gonna have that leaf icon for a while again.

[smoky blade]

i dont understand the concept

they r not charged attacked?

[brazen sparrow]

The leaf will plague you for a week.. mercifully not long at all

[distant jungle]

Your weapon has a smite chance, that is the chance with every hit of smiting, causing an enemy to let out a red, green, or blue glow. You then use spirit sight + attack to smite them, ripping out a chunk of their soul.

Your ability of the corresponding color will partially recharge instantly, and you'll do damage. If you have Sympathy in your pact tree, it'll also heal you, immensely enough that you can become effectively immortal for the next several seconds.

If you have a rune on your weapon, it'll activate, at least most of the time. That's still a little buggy.

[smoky blade]

Thanks a lot

❤️

[distant jungle]

And even when it does activate it can be a little inconsistent. Polearm doesn't get the proper Everflame AoE on certain attacks, despite still getting the bonus damage on direct hits.

Normal pre-alpha shenanigans.

[alpine nest]

Hi guys, how to use totems ?

[grizzled depot]

is there a way to highlight more flowers? I am kinda losing it trying to find Synod ones

[plucky junco]

you should be able to open up the totem interface by right clicking on a weapon in the arsenal

[ionic widget]

Synod's Maiden spawns in the corrupted areas, they can be a bit sparse in spawning.

[alpine nest]

when i right click on it it doesn't do anything

[grizzled depot]

went through all the northern corrupt area and z e r o found and I believe I might be blind as a bat, maybe I found the bat pact

[ionic widget]

I farm around Mendicant King. I think the flowers render with view distance so running far enough out of the area and back could help.

[plucky junco]

just to double check, are you trying at the arsenal in the back of the tent in your nightfold?

[alpine nest]

in the nightfold

[grizzled depot]

thanks i got to move over there after all to gather those marsh mushrooms after all so good idea

[ionic widget]

np! relogging may also be a method to try. 🙂

[plucky junco]

do you see something like this when you look at your weapons there?

specifically at the arsenal menu

[alpine nest]

FOUND IT

[grizzled depot]

also where to find those floating bulb enemies? I see them so little and need so much stuff from em ugh

I saw a couple in the "new" forest area but like, rarely

[plucky junco]

will-o-wings seem to just spawn randomly in the wild
i'm not sure, but maybe someone has a strategy to farm more of them

[ionic widget]

I like the fields to the east of Kearnhold, and the fields near the Mines of Borro.

[knotty moon]

I found they spawn somewhat consistently (still fairly rare), if you run up and down the river by the Kith of Kings HQ.

[grizzled depot]

noted from both then thanks will try the river now as i go along

oh right glades need more moranite <_<u

[brave wind]

hey i just started playing… what is this and how do i equip it

[uncut maple]

You don't equip it: that's an item that allows you to reforge a weapon and add those modifiers

[brave wind]

oh alright cool

[knotty moon]

You equip Joineries by reforging the weapon (only Blessed reset the rank), to do that you need rank 2 or 3 with Tuvalkane, which you gain by crafting stuff.

[brave wind]

okay

[karmic totem]

is there an upto date list of what drops come from what subbosses?

[willow meadow]

how do I play soulframe?

[flat schooner]

so what am i missing, did the magic class just get nerfed into the ground or did they introduce a new mechanic i need to implement into my playstyle while i was taking a break from the game?

[knotty moon]

The wiki at Avakot.org should be reasonably updated.

[plucky junco]

you'll have to have an invite to play currently
they're sending out a batch of invites each wednesday, but hopefully there'll be other ways to get access soon

[willow meadow]

thank you for the info

[knotty moon]

Sign up, wait for an invite, watch a devstream when they are up for a Twitch drop, or buy a Founders pack from the 25th.
Or you can get someone to share a code with you, but don't ask here please.

[grizzled depot]

I have noticed Orengall's wolves being significantly less resistant against bosses

most likely after the whole armor thing when they scaled the damage the wolves didnt get armor themselves so they get crushed

[flat schooner]

wolves?

ah. that is the new mechanic they added since i last played and completed everything there was to do in the beta

crafting them now, that must be why i was doing beans for damage

[olive skiff]

are the founder packs letting use select one wyld pact at the lowest level and the paragon tier gives all 3 or does only the paragon tier offer the wyld pacts?

[flat schooner]

which kinda sucks, i like being a solo damage monster mage glass cannon

now im just kind of a glass summoner?

blegh D:

[ripe token]

which is my character level? the 14 or the 1?

[grizzled depot]

I guess they want to push people to reforge too

[flat schooner]

fair. thx for the tip y'all

🫶

[ionic widget]

You can select which pact, or paragon gives all

[distant jungle]

The 1 is your MR and dictates how many assignable virtue points you have.

The 14 is your total armor added up from the three kinds of armor there is.

Those being physical, magick, and stagger resistance.

[ripe token]

so how do i "level up" then

[olive skiff]

oh ok, very interesting. Then I'll probably just go with the cheapest pack lol The unique armor is the most important feature.

[distant jungle]

Same as WF, level up weapons and pacts for MR xp.

Lore motes in the world also give MR xp, so those too.

Discover every location, reveal every name, level everything.

For the armor, just equip better armor and use totems.

[ripe token]

ty sir

[wintry arch]

completely fresh blind player here, how do you find he who haunts the tower? bird is leading me to the middle floor but there's nothing there

[half talon]

Have you looked around with your soul sight/soul pulse?

[wintry arch]

hold Q?

[knotty moon]

||There should be a door that can be opened.||

[wintry arch]

thanks, found it

soul sight didn't help

[jolly grove]

is the game out yet?

[plucky junco]

not as a full release, but there's an ongoing pre-alpha

[distant jungle]

It won't be ready for full release for quite some time.

[sacred solar]

Any info on consoles yet?

[distant jungle]

After full release.

Because it'd be horrible to juggle multiple builds while in development.

[plucky junco]

the answer on the FAQ for consoles should still be accurate:

Will Preludes be available on consoles at any point? Or will console players have to wait for the full launch?
Preludes is PC-only for now. We plan to bring Soulframe to consoles eventually, but that will likely align with a fuller release rather than during Preludes.

[neon meadow]

how do i fix this ??? every time i alt tab and come back to the game, this happens

[jolly grove]

@plucky junco @distant jungle ty guys

[half talon]

Dx12?

[neon meadow]

idk what ever is default

[sudden ice]

try holding tab to go into nightfold and then again to come back out?

[neon meadow]

it works but it comes back again if i tab out

[brazen sparrow]

are you using dynamic resolution by any chance?

[neon meadow]

i can screen shot entire video settings

[brazen sparrow]

OK.. if memory serves, it's this.. some of the render layers are at the wrong size. turning it off should work...

but you may lose some FPS

alt-tab does seem to resync them, but, they will inevitably shift back out

[neon meadow]

i disabled dynamic lightning and its still there...

idk what to do

[plucky junco]

i think it's related to some specific settings, but i can't recall which ones, sorry
you might be able to fix it if you play around with them a bit, and you can consider making a bug report about it since a lot of the reports are still stuck in the other server

[brazen sparrow]

yeah, i can run a quick search on the other discord.. i remember for a time it used to come up a lot.

[neon meadow]

okay i found it

its ''method''

i had DLSS quality

[brazen sparrow]

Might also be a fullscreen vs borderless window thing from my searches.. but if DLSS is working for you then good.

[neon meadow]

@brazen sparrow whats the difference between DLSS and FSR2.2 ?

Im not an expert lol

i see these 2 options

[brazen sparrow]

Basically, it's down to who made it. DLSS for nvidia and FSR for AMD.. but nvidia can run FSR also.

[knotty moon]

DLSS is usually the superior option if you have access to that (though I hear the newest versions are equivalent).

[brazen sparrow]

So if you can use DLSS i'll assume you're on an nvidia card, so it will probably work better for you. they both do samey things.. just the how and the artifacting will look different

[solemn sequoia]

do blessed joineries have better stats than polished ones or are they same with just the bonus of changing virtue?

[brazen sparrow]

Blesseds allow you to change the virtue attunement of the weapon.. but otherwise they're the same as the polished

[solemn sequoia]

okay sick

[half talon]

hehehe I saw that

[brazen sparrow]

saw nothing

[plucky junco]

i saw it too

[solemn sequoia]

#noticed

[brazen sparrow]

filthy human lies! 😂

[wet dew]

Soooo I just learned this game has players? I was waiting until launch to even learn anything about this game, but being a long time warframe player, I have been looking forward to it. I see the official launch is the 25th, but is it playable rn? Also mb if this is the wrong channel to put this in

[hollow turret]

it's been playable for like a year, if you have a key

[wet dew]

Gotta do anything special?

Also dang dude what

[olive skiff]

the official launch is NOT the 25th. The founder packs and the next update is on the 25th.

[wet dew]

Maybe I shouldnt have plugged my ears

WHAT

SO THIS GAME IS JUST OUT

[bleak atlas]

Ye Soulframe is still in pre-alpha

[wet dew]

oh

[olive skiff]

the game isnt out yet and theres no date lol

[plucky junco]

it isn't technically out, but preludes has been up since 2023, pretty much

[olive skiff]

if you had a key, the games been playable for about 2 years now

that said, theres a lot more content now so the 25th would be a good time to start.

[wet dew]

Youve made me regret shooting myself in the foot, but dang

[olive skiff]

nah, I didnt want to start till latter too so Im fine with starting the 25th

[wet dew]

Do I have to do anything special for a key?

[fierce scaffold]

im starting to realize what determines the black bar on a boss's health isn't just being underpowered

cus during a fight i will see it go back and forth between red and black

[olive skiff]

watch a live devstream of soulframe, you get keys from there

but also, the founder packs will come with friend codes to get people into the game

[plucky junco]

if you've created an account, you can wait for the invites to go out on wednesdays, but getting access through that isn't guaranteed

[hollow turret]

oh my god it has been two years aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[olive skiff]

I suspect the founder packs coming out means full release is very likely next year

[knotty moon]

The hp bar is relative on the form of attack you are employing at the time, defaulting on light attack when nothing is applicable.

[bleak atlas]

It's the light attack of the wep you last hit it with, if you're switching weps you're switching what it's reading off

[fierce scaffold]

i didn't switch off of the staff once during that fight

[half talon]

They did just have a campaign this weekend, which is now over. For now, sign up on Soulframe.com and reserve your Envoy name. That puts you in for the weekly giveaway. Otherwise, wait for the next dev stream which should (theoretically) have more access for drops.

You can also check out other social media for folks who may be giving away codes.

[wet dew]

Devstream wednesdays?

[plucky junco]

no, the invites that go out on wednesdays just go out by email

devstreams usually get announced in the news channel here if you're interested: https://discord.com/channels/998758139405029478/1153116764633321534

[wet dew]

Good to know, tyvm

[olive skiff]

the devsteams seem to be on wensdays with warframe on fridays

but not sure if thats been consistent

[wet dew]

Oh ho ho, so I can do some digging in the meantime

[little parrot]

New server who dis

[vagrant eagle]

I'd like to ask you about your Soulframe's extended Warranty.

[little parrot]

Thanks, but I already talked to a Sinecure about it and—
arm explodes

[woeful crest]

Guys i need some help, after farming for some maidens, i came back to nightfold and verminia disappeared leaving a note, do i have to search her or listen to the note and wait for her to come back ?

[fierce scaffold]

is there a daily limit of faction standing you can earn?

[plucky junco]

||i think you have to head to the place where you met her the first time||

[plucky junco]

it should be 16k, i believe

[fierce scaffold]

huh

i got the 5000 to get my first rank over the course of 2 days and it hasn't gone up at all since i hit rank 1

[plucky junco]

if you've made sure to manually press the button to advance your rank and relogging doesn't fix it, it sounds like a bug

[woeful crest]

Oh now that you said it, i didn't check the map, but there is an area marked, but there was no quest in the journal, now there is also a quest in it

[fierce scaffold]

oh it shows that i am in fact in rank 1 and it shows 0/5000 for my progress

[plucky junco]

then yeah, it might be a bug, a few people have mentioned similar things happening in the past

[fierce scaffold]

:c

i wanted to unlock the other dyes

well that was probably already reported so time to wait to see if prelude 12 addresses that

[quasi gate]

is anyone able to tell me where i can nab gwylen frags? been farming various things for weeks now and not seen a single one.

[plucky junco]

it should be purchaseable from the alca's children shop now

[quasi gate]

and now I feel really dumb lol ty

[keen cave]

Can anyone tell me where on the map would be the best place to farm for secondary weapons?

[fierce scaffold]

i feel foolish. i bought the dyes from the faction vendor, i do not know how to actually get access to them

[plucky junco]

||if you haven't already, you'll need to unlock verminia, and then you can ask her to craft them||

[fierce scaffold]

to be clear, is this the dyes?

[plucky junco]

yep

[fierce scaffold]

oh so i gotta || have her brew it. got it||

time to hunt will o wings then

i need a bunch of the stuff you get from them

[normal sail]

be sure to sneak up on the middle one for the other loot they have

[languid lion]

visual bug? or am i losing resources for doing things

[plucky junco]

i think it's just a visual bug, but i haven't taken specific notes...

i hope it's just visual at least 😇

[neon meadow]

YOOO WHATS THIS??? I killed wraith

[edgy leaf]

Anyone know if when founders comes out that buying it will gurantee a access code?

[plucky junco]

that's a rune you can equip in the totem interface

[plucky junco]

i think that's the plan, along with several codes to share

[edgy leaf]

lovely thanks

[normal sail]

congrats, now your Staves and Odiac have a new voltaic ability that triggers on smite (sometimes)

[last prism]

I just completed Oregngalls quest. Im curious if there will ever be an option to pick a different wolf cub

[plucky junco]

you should be able to change your choice if you replay it from the codex currently

[obsidian void]

in the eraly game whats the easiest shield weapon to get? I wanna try all the other types of weapons so I know what i like.

[plucky junco]

i think oryn-umbr is a regular drop from many enemies if you're lucky

[neon meadow]

Guys i got archmages rune and when i equip it on odiac, i can put extra totem in defense slot. Do i need to have multiple maxed copies of totems because when i want to equip my 1 maxed duck, i can put only 1

[plucky junco]

if you want to put more than one on the same weapon, you do need duplicates

[obsidian void]

@plucky juncosweet! is it from any enemies or a specific location thing?

[neon meadow]

so if i want to have 2 ducks in defense slot i need to own 2 of them

omg i was selling every duplicate i had

that system is so dumb, it existed in warframe, warframes and sentinels could not share same mods

[plucky junco]

i think it's a drop that's common to a lot of enemies
it might still be slightly rarer than the other common fragments like rivt, but don't quote me on that

[dusky iris]

is clash from tethren's tree useful for like... anything? i know the other 2 active skills are good but i still don't even fully what clash is even meant to do

aside from making enemies stumble back by like a step

[languid lion]

does soulbound and feral from orengall actually level up the right skill now

or are they still reversed

[lunar beacon]

I've been looking everywhere, cannot find will o'wings at all, anyone with any experience?

[half talon]

Best to keep 4 copies of each, the rest you can get rid of

[mental widget]

I tend to find a good amount in the west side of the map, inland. I'll see if I can get the map and point. No exact locations, but generally where I tend to stumble on them.

[lunar beacon]

That would be super helpful

[half talon]

If you go near the college of pensives, there's a really good concentration of them if you run along the river near there. Just make sure you sneak up on them

It's also a great area to farm all mats needed for the Cloudquell potion

[lunar beacon]

Ahh, maybe need to explore the starting area more then

Gotcha, yea I'm trying to farm for the palette (25 will o fronds!!)

[half talon]

might as well try to get those wings as well, since they will likely be needed in future potions as well.

[lunar beacon]

Can you get both simultaneously

Or killing gives frond and plucking gives wings

[half talon]

You just need to sneak up on the big one in the middle and yoink it, then kill the rest. You can do that with sirin's 1 to kill them all immediately after plucking

[lunar beacon]

Oo tech thanks

[mental widget]

This is by no means definitive and is mainly anecdote, as it's simply where I tend to find them. They could also be above and below the circle. This really is just a rough blurb. But that tends to be where I find the buggers.

Forest just outside of town points is where I find them most often.

[jagged acorn]

Is that the entire map atm?

[plucky junco]

there's also an island in the top left corner we're not supposed to be able to reach normally, but otherwise, yep

[fierce scaffold]

so

i have no idea how to distribute my stats

got orengall, saw a thing that says most things scale better with courage

i have no info on how or why, or if that's true

[plucky junco]

i think orengall prefers to have some spirit to get the most utility out of its abilities, but don't quote me on that, i haven't really looked at the fine print

the avakot.org wiki has some of the details about how abilities scale with virtues if you'd like to check, apparently

[fierce scaffold]

oh right lol

[languid laurel]

How do I get the game guys

[plucky junco]

for now, if you've created an account, you'll have to wait for more invites to go out, or for twitch drops to be announced

[obsidian void]

how do you tell what level the parts of the maps are?

[thin hazel]

Honestly the only way is by going there and seeing the enemies. I know DE is going to be bringing back the large, tall wall that used to exist, so new players don't wander off into high level areas until they've done something.

[spare badge]

Check and see if your account has access. IF it does, then just use the downloads tab on the soulframe website.

[fierce scaffold]

so how do actually find and do the endless dungeon?

[spare badge]

It's not a dungeon. It's a room in the dungeons. Dungeons are proceedurally generated, so it's RNG.

[fierce scaffold]

ah. how do you know if you've found that tile?

[spare badge]

Currently, the only working one is in the glades. It'll be a big room that looks like the room from the Tormented Stag boss fight.

You can reroll dungons by walking back out the entrance, letting the tunnel load, walking out to the open world, then back into the tunnel and loding a new dungeon instance.

[spare badge]

Pretty much by walking into the tile. It'll be a big empty corrupted swampy room with some rocks and trees and a statue of a deer that you can interact with.

[fierce scaffold]

ah. ill look for that

[coral solstice]

Hi, I'm struggle a bit.
how the character improvement work? I assume it similar to warframe that it depend on the level of equipments? but there are many thing to adjust so I'm not sure.
I don't know if I should
1.keep explore the wolrd, collecting stuff, made new weapon before doing the quests?
or
2.keep doing the quests untill all finish and character might become stronger and do the collecting easier later?

[olive skiff]

3. do both and jump between the the two

[grizzled depot]

to get power "fast"

1. level your weapon, contrary to Warframe it gets stronger rising
2. same for your pact
3. once you get both weapon and pact to 30, you got a decent start, and leveling other weapons and pacts will rise your account level, which gives extra stat points

I believe you can also from the start get totems now too, that gives a very slight edge at start and with improving your favs a considerable one

then more deep into the game, min maxing with joineries and getting the runes, which at least myself havent dropped one lol...

doing quests unlock features though and you can basically do them without much trouble, like Warframe

[lunar beacon]

Thanks to both you and @half talon found them consistently just outside kith of kings enclave in my case, thanks again!

[half talon]

Woo happy to help!

[spare badge]

You WILL want max ranked stuff and good armor for the Bromius Fable. That one's currently something many people struggle with.

[grizzled depot]

is it just me or the only "good" armor is the mendicant one?

the stats are quite... different from the others

well rood/orengall helm i guess

[distant jungle]

Mendicant, Orengall, and Mockery sets all have vaguely equivalent totals.

[thin hazel]

that's the one thing new players definitely need to understand is to not rush the story missions. Can't beat it? Come back to it later, look into improving yourself.

[distant jungle]

Plus or minus a point.

Being the three best sets.

[coral solstice]

Thank you very much!
I always end up in place I shouldn't be when I wandered around 😂
last night I(14-15) was in the undercity but came out exit to new place that have higher level(around 20+)
So I wonder if I maybe missed some quest or maybe I went there too soon
does the level gap around that is fine? or should I stuck with place that have same level?

[quasi gate]

unless you're running tethren. then just press 1 and win

[distant jungle]

Tbh just pick up a short blade sidearm or polearm and start yeeting it.

Don't even need pact skills, game is easy right now

[grizzled depot]

tbf we are so close to prelude 12 too now, i started this one so late cause i forgot and with less than 10 days I feel there's so much to get new I cant even imagine a new player stressing about catching up

so best not to stress up and take it slowly

[quasi gate]

you won't miss anything between now and the release of p12 except maybe the halloween event stuff but they run it every year so you'll have plenty of chances in the future

[grizzled depot]

oh right the halloween masks

and circade seems to be staying

[quasi gate]

circade is here to stay yeah.

[plucky junco]

festival of the circade was intended to be time-limited, we don't really know when it's going away

[thin hazel]

one can hope that them bringing back the wall helps the new players, that they make the higher levels cut off so players aren't overwhelmed

[distant jungle]

The halloween event can also be completed in a half hour or less with how much they roided out the drop rates.

[grizzled depot]

i didnt live "the wall", can you go over it in some way?

cause afaik it was to limit content before right?

[plucky junco]

it was basically just what it sounds like, a giant wall around a certain part of the map

[quasi gate]

back in like P9 there was a massive oden wall surrounding the starting area. map was a lot smaller back then

[spare badge]

Prior to p9, the starter area was the only open part of the map. The rest of the island was all OOB.

[distant jungle]

Are they bringing back the giant wall to close something off? If so, what are they locking down?

I don't remember hearing about that happening.

[grizzled depot]

OOB? then are we going to get enclosed again to smaller areas? no going to edges?

[quasi gate]

iirc it's just the starting area like before to allow new players to get a better feel for the game

[spare badge]

The people who put stuff into the world were apparently complaining by P8 that the OOB walls were hindering their ability to work on some stuff, so p9 opened the whole map to everyone.

[grizzled depot]

i suppose there will be gaps now...

[spare badge]

This is why all of the new places just have names and ??? for lore entries.

[grizzled depot]

i am only finding willowisps going to the southern part of the map after all lol

[quasi gate]

i think the walls had what looked like large gates iirc... as for the lore entries, they're still fleshing out a lot of the worldbuilding so give them time and they'll expand that more

[spare badge]

Some of them did. Ohers just had invisiwalls and rock cliffs.

[rugged dirge]

Anyone know how to free this in the cage? shooting with my bow doesn't work

[thin hazel]

try kicking it with E? might work

[rugged dirge]

that worked
cheers mate

[thin hazel]

yay! no problem!

[teal iris]

Is the royal tines good?

[plucky junco]

i think it's ok... but short blades aren't the greatest right now

unless you like the feel of them

[teal iris]

i just need something better than this staff

[dusky iris]

what kind of state is sword and shield in atm? good? bad?

[olive skiff]

the wall is a good idea for the start

especally when theres no indication of area levels

[teal iris]

also i need standing with tuvalkane for the marrow

i also have this but i feel like its way weaker than the gwylyn

[meager tree]

I love the sword and shield, amazing moveset with lots of movement, it feels strong. I blessed a bog with spirit

[meager tree]

If you like the blades moveset, it is very fast and has high smite, could be a blender with a couple squirrels

[teal iris]

Yea the stats do look better but it genuinly feels so weak to me idk

[dapper rain]

differnt tools for differnt jobs. single target no questom magick can beat bow. speciallu polished feybalt

i dont really play bows either. they did good things with them but prefere melee

[visual radish]

Any chance you are using it with a pact that doesnt have high courage?

[dapper rain]

thiink every pact get 21 couragbe...dont need investmetn in pact if got the mr..

but thats not practial way... misaligned sidearm damage would goto to floor so need use pact end up getting points into virtue in someway to balance. stuff lol

[teal iris]

using mage one

[visual radish]

The "required courage" stat isnt a suggestion
If you dont have enough the weapon wont do much, that probably has to do with you feeling the weapon is weak

[coral solstice]

does "Smite Percent" mean chance of "Critical damage"?

[visual radish]

Fairly sure its the chance of triggering a smite opportunity then you hold spirit mode and left click if i recall correctly

[vagrant kayak]

That's correct

[visual radish]

And it does things

[vagrant kayak]

Smite is like a crit/finisher, the higher the smite chance on a weapon/attack the more chance you have of enemies suddenly glowing red/green/blue.

If you do a Soul Steal on them (Spectral Sight + light attack) you'll absorb their soul, dealing damage and activating your equipped Rune.

This will also reduce the cooldown of the ability of the matching color, and trigger the Sympathy effect if you have that passive on your Pact

[coral solstice]

oooooh that's very cool

[left perch]

Hey so,I haven't played in a bit, like, before secondaries were even a thing, and just returned. Could someone point me to a refresher to know what the 3 stats in the top right mean, which of the 3 I should use, and how do I know to distribute betwqeen Grace, Courage, and Spirit?

[dusky iris]

courage = strength aka amplifies the effects of your abilities (so damage buff and defense percentages ability damage etc)
spirit = duration aka the length that effects from abilities will last-buffs and debuffs, ccs, etc
grace = range aka how far your abilities can reach; amplifies the casting range of ranged abilities and the buff/debuff/cc range of utility skills

iirc

i might have grace and spirit jumbled up

[left perch]

Oh. I was just maxing the one my weapon says it's attuned to and keeping the other 2 at the minimum 3, guess that's not the strat?

[regal shadow]

basically, courage - strength, spirit - duration and grace - range in regards to pact abilities, you'll be mostly fine if you just put more points into whatever your weapon's attunement is, you can check it in your arsenal while hovering over the weapon, each weapon has its own attune cap, as you increase your virtue points, the damage of the weapon will go up, once it stops, you've reached the cap, only weapon that has too high a cap to reach normally afaik is vasp-iv, which is around 60 iirc

[dusky iris]

fixed it

[ember plume]

so i’m on the quest to find verminia and there’s a large boulder on the way what do I do

my guide just sits on the rock

[plucky junco]

are you able to interact with a little statue nearby?

[left perch]

So, I put points into the one that my weapon uses, and once I hit the cap I can put it into the others?
Also what do the Physical, Magik, and Stability do exactly? Is it like Raw damage, magic damge form abilities, and armor?

[ember plume]

I can see an outline of it but I can’t interact with it

[plucky junco]

it could be bugged, but i'm not sure
i know the quest was adjusted a few times to make it harder to break, but if it did, you can try maybe relogging to see if it works

the intended sequence is that you free the rat, then follow it and encounter nimrod twice along the way, and then you should be able to interact with the statue, in case that didn't happen

[ember plume]

I didn’t encounter nimrod after freeing the rat

[plucky junco]

that might be the issue then, if you don't run into him, it can cause issues with the statue, i believe

[ember plume]

how do I fix?

[clear fox]

used to be the best actually

[plucky junco]

you might just have to restart the game and retry the sequence until it works

[regal shadow]

basically, you're not getting much if you put everything into one stat, depending on the pact ofc, but i do tend to play that way, as for second question, i'm not too familiar with terminology, but if you're talking about armor, physical armor is basically just how much melee damage you resist, magick is how much magick damage you resist and stability is your stagger bar, so how much hits you resist before enemies knock you on your ass

[solemn sequoia]

does relogging to fight bosses again still work or are they on a set timer now

[clear fox]

timur

[solemn sequoia]

damng

[regal shadow]

minibosses are on 3h cooldown

[solemn sequoia]

3 whole shmackaroons blehhhh

[regal shadow]

you can join other people's session for their bosses, but it's not really a nice thing to do if you already killed your boss

[burnt lava]

Where do you see what you're pact is attuned to. Like Orengall

[plucky junco]

pacts don't really have attunements to a specific virtue, but they do give a bonus to one of them and have abilities that scale differently

[clear fox]

your pact is not attuned to anything, your pact is like your warframe, you build and put stats on it how you want

[ember plume]

I did it

the nimrod thing I mean

I have been trying to find armor fragments especially for the garren helmet thing

where do I find fragments?

[plucky junco]

the crown of grace fragments come from vadagar stag, which appears as a boss at the end of t3 faction tales or from corrupted bits of ground sometimes i think

[ember plume]

I’m still a bit too fresh to understand any of that

[plucky junco]

faction tales should unlock after you unlock the faction, so i'd just worry about it after that

[ember plume]

which faction are we talking about

[plucky junco]

all of them should give faction tales that end with vadagar stag, but it isn't guaranteed

[pale hatch]

Tier 3 faction tales often have a big boss fight as their final stage. Which can include the Vadagar Stag. (But for me, too often it's yet another Collector/Nimrod fight.)

[ember plume]

faction tales are those purple hearts on the map right?

I take it you also farm tiered materials on corresponding tiered tales?

[pale hatch]

Might be the hearts? You are allowed to switch factions once per week, so you'll only see the map icons for your current faction. Each has their own artwork.

[plucky junco]

the purple heart thingy is the icon for alca's children i believe

[olive skiff]

Why do I feel like when this game releases, theres going to be a much confusing as warframe's systems with soulframe lol

[pale hatch]

To switch, you need to craft the respective trinket/necklace/whatsit for each faction. And one of the ingredients needed, you can buy for faction standing. AFTER you've reached Rank 3 with a faction.

[vagrant kayak]

Part of Preludes is avoiding that by giving feedback on the new player experience Things are extra confusing right now because systems are so subject to change. Have to have a modding/crafting/market/etc... system before you can make tutorials for it

[olive skiff]

I do like the new teacher questline in warframe, they should have had that for mods years ago

[ember plume]

unironically I started during preudes 9, dropped it though because it confused the heck out of me

I don’t remember how to get to the alca’s children area

and that there were other factions

[pale hatch]

While there isn't an official wiki (yet?) there is a community one. Avakot.org

[ember plume]

I’ll do some thorough reading thanks!

[pale hatch]

Alca's Children enclave is on the western coast, near Oo-Mull. Almost due south from Silent Rose enclave & Salzbrim.

[distant jungle]

Avakot.org is the closest we'll get to an official wiki for a very long time, considering it's the only one whitelisted for links on the preludes discord. It isn't usual for a game to have an 'official' wiki run by actual staff, from my experience, though I know WF does in some way? Idk how all that works cus I haven't played WF in years.

But at the very least avakot.org is effectively officially supported.

[olive skiff]

warframes wiki was for a long time a fan endevor. I believe its just this year that DE has officially suported it with a new site.

[pale hatch]

Warframe had a community wiki on fandom for ages, even before fandom changed its name to fandom.

(Back when I used to play Guild Wars, there was a community wiki that was later replaced by an officially hosted wiki.)

[vagrant kayak]

I believe the Warframe wiki is still community operated, the hosting is just on DE's side since the Fandom takeover of the original host

Don't quote me on that though

[indigo nexus]

What do I do with this? I bought one thinking that by buying I unlock whatever this is

[distant jungle]

It's buying a fragment that you've already gotten from completing the quest.

You need to craft it at Tuvalkane.

[indigo nexus]

I'll assume that's a place unlocked later

[distant jungle]

That's just for rebuying it if you ever sell the pact later, they unlock when you complete their respective fable.

[indigo nexus]

Rip me than

[distant jungle]

A person you collect via another fable, the Steelsinger.

[plucky junco]

tuvalkane is the blacksmith, you can unlock her after completing a certain task in the overworld

[vagrant kayak]

You can use fragments to craft Pacts by talking to the blacksmith once you've unlocked her the Pact fragments you can get at that weapon rack are duplicates in case you sell the originals

So slight waste of Dracs

[pale hatch]

Renewable resource. 😉

[distant jungle]

Very, very renewable.

[indigo nexus]

I had no idea you can sell these fragments even as I didn't see an option for that

[distant jungle]

You cannot sell the fragments, you can sell crafted pacts same as weapons.

[indigo nexus]

I'm just running around trying to see where I can find another staff to use

[vagrant kayak]

You can in that same menu under "Sell" in case you need to free Pact or weapon slots

[indigo nexus]

but only after I craft it

[distant jungle]

Yes, there's no real need though.

Unless you run out of pact slots and have fully leveled it and decide to not keep it.

[indigo nexus]

as a mage can you have a 2nd weapon?

[bitter quartz]

Yes

[vagrant kayak]

Yes, sidearms are not dependant on Pact choice

[distant jungle]

There are no classes here, anyone can equip a sidearm when they acquire one.

[vagrant kayak]

Although there are no magic type sidearms at the moment (but there will be)

[indigo nexus]

Sweet!

[pale hatch]

There is ONE class. Envoy.

[distant jungle]

That's not really a class tho, that's just our character's title lol.

[indigo nexus]

considering how they are split into literally, melee, mage and ranger I thought there are to be fair

[bitter quartz]

I think it's more of a mindset; a way of life, if you will

[indigo nexus]

We need summoner now and we have all the classes from terraria

[distant jungle]

They're split into Tethren, Oscelda, and Sirin, which can all equip any weapon they want.

Same as equipping a Warframe, they don't dictate anything beyond their own abilities.

[indigo nexus]

oh

[regal shadow]

do mockery weapons still drop from overworld mockeries? been trying to get last frag for stultin at the crypt near fort kearnhold but i didnt get a single weapon drop in over an hour

[plucky junco]

i got some mockery weapon fragments recently

[vagrant kayak]

There are classes sort of but in the way Warframe has classes. Your Pact is your "class" but your weapon choice is separate from your Pact choice.

[plucky junco]

from the overworld ones, i mean

[regal shadow]

guess just rng things then

even been using sirin for pickpocket, nothing at all

[pale hatch]

Summoner? Wellllll, you might try the Orengall pact, call up some spirit wolves.

[distant jungle]

Also double your Courage and turn thrown polearms into ballistic missiles.

Smite chance boost is also really good.

[bitter quartz]

Hey, so I am in the middle of the bear quest. Can I just leave it in-between? I don't think my weapon or character are strong enough yet, so I was thinking that I would craft as many things as possible and level up the factions at the same time

Overworld enemies aren't that strong, so it's tedious but doable

[plucky junco]

you can wander around and do other stuff, but you can't abandon it, unfortunately

and it might conflict with things like faction tales if you want to do them

[bitter quartz]

If I move out of the area? It's just that I am stuck on the Wizard of the Waste

[distant jungle]

If you need someone to hop in and four-shot the bear I can real quick, sounds annoying to be locked out of faction stuff.

[plucky junco]

does relogging get you free?

[regal shadow]

seems all i had to do is complain

[bitter quartz]

I, uh, I will have to log back in and check. I got tired after dying for the fifth time in a row and logged out

[raven arrow]

I did find the Wizard of the wastes to be a pain, but i'm also the mage class, so i was able to mostly avoid some stuff without getting hit

[distant jungle]

Tried to apply a brass color to the mockery set metal, failed miserably, still can't properly represent Khorne, sadge.

Hopefully the armor in the Founders stuff takes better to color on the metal.

[ember plume]

what’s the easiest armor set to obtain after the basic one

[plucky junco]

maybe the circade one if you skip all the fights and use a guide 😅

[ember plume]

i’ll look into that

[vagrant kayak]

Definitely Circade at the moment yeah, may change depending on how Faction shops evolve next week

[ember plume]

is the circade event still available?

[plucky junco]

it should be i think

at least, i've heard people getting the rewards in p11

[ember plume]

wow this whole thing sounds so tedious lol

imma try later though wish me luck

[mental prairie]

does the grey bar system work how im really hoping it doesn't?

(if the hit doesn't deal enough damage it just gets rounded down to 1)

[plucky junco]

down to 1, i think 🥹

[mental prairie]

doesn't that just make high attack speed, low damage weapons like short blades useless at high levels?

[pale marsh]

I think it can be broken with a charged heavy from lighter weapons

[mental prairie]

oh so you can disable the bar with a charged attack?

[pale marsh]

Cant say for sure but thats how I remember it working atleast last time I played

[plucky junco]

it doesn't really disable the bar completely, but some actions can do more damage even with the grey bars

[indigo nexus]

can enemies here be immune to certain dmg types? Immune/have resistance towards arcane for example

[mental prairie]

yeah i thought not but i wasn't sure

[pale marsh]

At least some minibosses I was able to break out from the grey bar state with a charged heavy or two and it came back after a while. Also I think parrying may also work

But uknow its still work in progress so it can change

[vague thorn]

Hi guys, I am coming back after a break - as I was reading FAQ there is no real way to erase data and start fresh again right?

[plucky junco]

not at the moment

they talked about optional resets, but it's not something we can do yet

[pale marsh]

I mean a second account

[vague thorn]

I do not want to run a second acc this one is connected with my main warframe one xD

[pale marsh]

Ah makes sense

[vague thorn]

I am just stuck on the "support" path so to speak and I kinda wanted to try something else, I'll just stick with it

thanks

[distant jungle]

Not useless because joineries and beaver totems exist.

But dual blades do have notable damage issues, comparatively.

So it's a system that needs refining.

[pale marsh]

U can change your pact and weapons so I don't think there's anything you'd need to erase to start again

[mental prairie]

I need some beavers all i get are rabbits 😭

[mental prairie]

yeah I tried heavying and sometimes it can get through the grey but it doesnt seem to remove it for other attacks or anything

[noble stratus]

Is it possible to max out all the arts on a pact, or is it intentional that you have to choose some arts over others when building?

[plucky junco]

yep, there aren't enough points to get everything

[left perch]

Do we have some type of farming location guide? Need like 20 Patch Leather

[vagrant kayak]

The wiki at https://wiki.avakot.org/ can be helpful (do keep in mind it's community updated so may not always be 100% accurate)

Off the top of my head though patch leather drops from breakable boxes and balloons, and can also be sold by Avakot

[noble stratus]

Is the same true for weapon arts? I noticed that i got more weapon art points from levelling multiple weapons of the same type

[maiden basalt]

why does my thing say i didnt recieve an invite for soulframe preludes? What do i do

[noble stratus]

(Also iirc weapon arts are being reworked anyway?)

[plucky junco]

for weapons, it depends on how many unique weapons there are in a category

each one gives 5 points

[maiden basalt]

anybody

[knotty moon]

Long Blades and Short Blades have enough points to go around for everything, but as you said the system is getting reworked.

[plucky junco]

and yeah, i think they well be reworked at some point

[noble stratus]

Awesome, thanks both

[plucky junco]

if you don't have an invite yet, you'll need to wait for now

[vagrant kayak]

Soulframe is currently in closed pre-alpha if you've signed up you can get invited as part of the weekly invite wave on Wednesdays.

You can also get access by being given a friend code, or by watching one of the devstreams with a linked Twitch account when they happen

[maiden basalt]

once i get an invite do i need another if i log off after the invite wave?

[vagrant kayak]

And next week when the Founder program goes live buying any of those packs will also come with access

No, once you're in you're in forever

[maiden basalt]

ohhh okay thank you, so i could get an invite on wednesday?

[vagrant kayak]

Potentially, each Wednesday 2000 accounts are invited at random (weighted towards older sign ups) so check your e-mail to see if you got invited 🙂

[maiden basalt]

Oh alright i appreciate it

[vagrant kayak]

Those 2000 invitees also get 4 extra codes, which are often shared here or in other community spaces, so keep an eye out!

[maiden basalt]

i just signed up today so i doubt i will get an invite till a while in the future

[plucky junco]

the founders packs on november 25 should also guarantee access if you want to go that route

[vagrant kayak]

Yep, a lot of extra codes should be floating around then as well since those packs come with friend codes as well. And there's normally a devstream every month where just watching will get you a code as well

[maiden basalt]

ill just be patient and wait and ill see if im still good at warframe for now.. But thanks you two have a good one

[vagrant kayak]

Np good luck

[dapper rain]

cannons vulnerable to magick weapons. dont kno of anything elses if there is anything else that has a weakness..

[honest goblet]

Hello everyone

[left perch]

Anyone know what this icon means?
First I saw it when getting close to the big Ode cannons, so i assumed it was telling me I could craft a gear item that I could plant to instakill the cannons, but now it appeared on a cage, so i don't think that's it

[honest goblet]

Does anyone have extra code if you have please dm me ty

[plucky junco]

please don't ask for codes here
you'll have to wait for more invites to go out for now, or for a twitch drop if you want to earn access

there'll also be founders packs starting november 25 if you're interested

[honest goblet]

Im sorry didn't know

[plucky junco]

no worries, hopefully you get an invite soon

[honest goblet]

I well wait for the code hopfully i get one

[stone flame]

bomb
you usually get told to collect one if you have a faction tale involving destroying an ode cannon. it instantly destroys it

[whole owl]

ouch

(but fair)

[old tendon]

the halloween fog + nimrod fog is really great for visibility

[fossil dragon]

People, apparently I am terrible at this kind of combat gameplay. What would be some pact and weapon combos that would make it easier for me to progress? Ideally ones that would demand the least reflex xD

[uncut cape]

tethren any melee weapon and light attack spam enemies with your red and green abilities

once you get used to the combat parries will be able to one shot some bosses while buffed

[distant jungle]

Also Ode Tempest pretty much plays the game for you, despite not being able to one-shot bosses like Tethren.

But Tempest requires you hitting rank five in either Alca's Children or Silent Rose.

[normal sail]

yeah the invul (3rd ability) let's you eat Bisulcam shots like candy

[ember plume]

is it true that the stag can spawn in the overworld at night?

[normal sail]

yes, there's a handful of spawn areas, dunno a consistent one though

[ember plume]

sweet

after I give my shot at the circade thing i’ll try looking for the stag

[normal sail]

theres been timea where my last faction tale is a vadagar stag, then upon completion its night time, and there's a second world vadagar stag

[ember plume]

is there some sort of indication when a stag spawns?

also what’s a really neat early pact?

[normal sail]

you'll hear growling (if on controller, you have vibrations too)

[crystal tusk]

I know Avakot is cheating in Regatta. I just can't prove it yet.

[rotund viper]

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-batman-hmm-chin-rub-maybe-gif-544874022650473771

[hidden gale]

So i've faught the Vadagar stag a couple times now and I've only gotten a single verite and some dracs. Is it a pretty steep grind to get the garren rood armor set?

[woven basin]

what do I do with wintersquash seeds now that I crafted the halloween mask?

[plucky junco]

it can be a bit rough, i think you need quite a few fragments in total for the whole set

[vagrant kayak]

Craft the other 2 masks, and after that, nothing

Hope for a wintersquash pie recipe next year

[hidden gale]

Right. I have 1 frag of almost all the parts, and I was hoping for at least 1 frag for every other hunt.

The current spot that looks feasible for farming is the river the runs along Vertonn and up to the world tree there.

[vagrant kayak]

The moving of the armor to the actual boss was a recent change so if you feel like the farm is a bit too much that's definitely something to put in #1438224662344761345 🙂
