stfu maestra

[dim aspen]

anyone able to give me a tip on why i cant seem to get my 'use rune in battle' quest done, im using the pull smite in each battle but its not completing..

[wise elm]

you have to activate the rune by using soul sight + heavy attack

[dim aspen]

ahh heavy attack.. thats my issue - thank you!

[unkempt gull]

Wait okay I'm soo confused now do I need to get all animals to get a rune...or kill a boss

[wise elm]

the animals give totems which give smaller buffs to weapons, bosses can drop runes which can be activated for big attack thing

you get charges for activating your rune by smiting enemies

[mild palm]

Runes are activated abilities with spectral sight + heavy attack that require a charge you get from using Smite on an enemy. Totems are passive modifers to weapons. You get totems from animals and Runes from bosses/sieges/sparrows tales.

[fallow arch]

kill bosses

[dim aspen]

any animals actually work with the mage class? coz i have so many and not a single one for my staff

[fallow arch]

rune = boss, totem = animal

[unkempt gull]

Ok I'm trying I thought I did but that thing didn't get me a stupid rune

[mild palm]

gotta keep getting animals. its rng

[fallow arch]

yes its ring

[mild palm]

You may have one, they are specific to weapon type.

[unkempt gull]

@dim aspen try deer I've had good luck with em

[dim aspen]

ahh ive only seen one deer and i f'd up the song haha

[mild palm]

you will need to get a variety as different animals provide different totems for different effects. Use spectral sight to help find them as well as mice can be difficult to see without it.

[unkempt gull]

I have 3 runes....why is mage so hard to get items for

[mild palm]

Use a variety of weapons as you level. You will eventually get runes for all weapon types.

[visual radish]

The animals give totems
Runes are just the central slot

[mild palm]

Specific bosses drop runes too.

If you want a magic rune, you will need to fight the Wazzard.

[unkempt gull]

It won't let me change weapons...I give up

[fallow arch]

speed run

[mild palm]

You started as a mage right?

[unkempt gull]

Yeah

@fallow arch I can't I have adhd

[mild palm]

Okay, don't sweat the Orlick quests too much. Use Gwylen until it is rank 30. You do not need a rune, it just modifies the weapon later.

Take your time

[unkempt gull]

Yay I'm level 30

[visual radish]

Wellll not really

[lavish heath]

Question any suggestions for spirit talismans

[mild palm]

Once you have it rank 30, farm the Wazzard boss for the Magic weapon type rune. The other rune you have to do hard mode for.

[unkempt gull]

Is his name actually wazzard

[visual radish]

Yup

[lavish heath]

Wraith of wastes i guess

I might be wrong

[wise elm]

wazzard is the only name we know him by all other names are false names given by synod propagana machine

[mild palm]

It is Wraith of Wastes.

Wazzard is what he was originally called.

[visual radish]

If we are going by technicalities the wraith of the wastes is a wazzard

[lavish heath]

Sounds about right

[mild palm]

Location is here @unkempt gull https://soulmap.avakot.org/P14?loc=Agari&index=10

I think a Wazzard is just Soulframe version of wizard. Witch still exists so why not wizard?

[visual radish]

Ohhh right there's two of them

So yeah wazzard it shall be

[wise elm]

wazzard supremacy

[lavish heath]

Wazzard

[visual radish]

Wazzard!

[mild palm]

Well the Wraith is the boss then, the wazzard is the dude who taunts us in the new dungeon tileset.

[visual radish]

Think wazzard is also the one in the bear quest

[unkempt gull]

....I didn't mean to start a wazzard cult

[lavish heath]

Yeah i think so

[lavish heath]

It was inevitable

[mild palm]

You didn't Ninja, there is a Greatsword cult though and we are always accepting new initiates!

[visual radish]

Cant forget the avakot mafia either

[wise elm]

there are a lot of soulframe cults

like the floppet cult, the spooder cult and the duelo cult

[visual radish]

Or else they'll come for your knees and take your dracs

[lavish heath]

Btw erstroot or seathorn?

[normal frigate]

Can I siphon XP. Eg. Equip maxed pack and main weapon to level up flyblades faster?

[mild palm]

I swear that little cabbage cheats at Regatta

[wise elm]

its true thats why avocado is always calling us big legs to remind us he will break our legs

[unkempt gull]

I'm confused 🫪🫪 lol

[visual radish]

Yup

[mild palm]

Seathorn my beloved

[lavish heath]

I could only win once

[visual radish]

Community inside jokes you'll get them eventually

[wise elm]

i beat the cabbage at regatta a bunch but he does start cheating if he loses to much

[unkempt gull]

Probably not lol those things go over my head

I don't even read the bosses names just...kill em

[visual radish]

Nonono avakot goes for the knees

[mild palm]

Nonsense, those cabbages are too short

[wise elm]

they are a bunch of ankle biters

[lavish heath]

Time for some t3 votives ig

[mild palm]

Thank Alca that we can hunt them now

[unkempt gull]

Okay imma go try and kill this wazzard man 🫡

[dim aspen]

next question - i had interacted with two of the trees to reveal some of the map. after the first real boss fight, the map is all foggy again, but when i go to interact with the tree its just giving me Votives, not opening up the map

[lavish heath]

You'll know when you see a black mist

[lavish heath]

Relog

[visual radish]

Uhhh try the oldest fix
Turn it off and on again

[dim aspen]

ahh okkk

[mild palm]

Oh I got it back when it dropped from the Organ

[lavish heath]

I started playing again like three days ago man

[visual radish]

Soulframe does suffer a bit more than warframe, with warframe being all instances the game could always reload and reset stuff
Here it doesnt happen all that often i guess

[unkempt gull]

Okay f that I died twice by those bandit ppl trying to get to him

[lavish heath]

Get up

Try again

[unkempt gull]

I can't do it man 🫠🫠

I'm to weakkkkk

[mild palm]

Get up Wazzard. You have Agari to burn.

[lavish heath]

Turn them into stone

[unkempt gull]

I...

[lavish heath]

Ah

[unkempt gull]

Shit your right

I feel like I'm weak if I have to use that on them though

[lavish heath]

Then heavy attack, after that bird storm, them stagger till he goes flappy

[vagrant kayak]

Using the abilities the game gives you does not make you weak

[unkempt gull]

Okay I use the heavy attack at the wrong times and it screws me up lol

[agile comet]

woah, I plyed the introduction and its amazing so far

does it get better or level out?

[vagrant kayak]

I'd say it gets better

[lavish heath]

Find the timing and you'll be fine, try to use birdstorm after the stone

There might be better ways ngl

[unkempt gull]

Ik im trying not used to being a magic person

[vagrant kayak]

Gonna be hard considering Envoys are witches

[unkempt gull]

Mmm true true

[vagrant kayak]

Tethren is more of a melee focused Pact if that's more your speed

[mild palm]

wrong, they're part Fey. Only witches if you build into Spirit

[unkempt gull]

Doesn't help that literally they all got stuck behind a damn door and swarmed me

[lavish heath]

We got duelo too

[unkempt gull]

Opened the door bam like 7 guys

[vagrant kayak]

Wrong, Grandfa calls us witches

[mild palm]

Grandad forgot to take his meds

[lavish heath]

I'll stay a witch lol

[unkempt gull]

I like being a witch rhymes with my other favorite word

[vagrant kayak]

No snitches to the Ode

[novel stag]

So what's the point of joineries now? I don't really understand, were they mega nerfed?

[dusty hatch]

They still increase your weapons virtue scaling for now, but they became a bit redundant with other areas of the game getting an overhaul. They are likely close to getting a big rework again, too.

[novel stag]

But if my weapon's only one pip away from max, it's nowhere near the same damage increase that a 50% + Lifesteal % used to give, right?

[vagrant kayak]

Yes and no, the bonus damage that you used to get with Joineries will now be gained by the weapon as it levels up, so your weapons are as strong as they were before (stronger since you no longer need a Joinery) but Joineries themselves now only increase attunement

[novel stag]

And how much of a change does attunement give per pip?

[vagrant kayak]

0.5 damage per Virtue point per pip

At 1 pip 10 Courage will get you 5 more damage on a weapon, at 5 pips 10 Courage gets you 25 more damage

Up to the weapon's damage cap

Strictly speaking overall power has gone up, since you now get the extra damage inherently and with Twice and Thrice Blessed Joineries you can get more damage out of Virtues than before.

[visual radish]

Most dramatic effect i'd say is build flexibility

[novel stag]

And is there any point in using a thrice blessed if you only need one pip?

[lament nacelle]

goesnt grace scale stronger tho? or did they change that with the new joineries?

[vagrant kayak]

But I do feel that Joineries overall are now a lot messier, made a post about it a couple days ago https://discord.com/channels/998758139405029478/1495697693635379300

[vagrant kayak]

Yeah Grace gets and extra like 0.3 on top I think

[lament nacelle]

so its easier to hit the damage cap with Grace weapons, so you could use more virtue into Courage for Life...

[vagrant kayak]

No, if you're on a weapon that already has 4 (like Marrow's Bane) you'll only need a basic Joinery to reach attunement cap of 5

[vagrant kayak]

For light attacks yes, charged heavies/charged shots have a much higher cap

[lament nacelle]

oh now THAT i didnt know

[vagrant kayak]

A lot of the attunement and damage cap info is not displayed in-game which I hope is changed, part of my feedback on the system

[novel stag]

So a Marrow's Bane would benefit more from a thrice joinery of a different virtue than courage, which would also allow me more versatility in building?

[vagrant kayak]

I do like the ability to mess with weapon scaling but you need to have all the info to do that properly imo

Yes giving Marrow's Bane a hybrid Virtue will benefit you more than maxing out its Courage scaling overall, though of course it depends on how you're building your Envoy

[lament nacelle]

i do think i would like to see how close we are to the damage caps for light and heavy attacks without having to do math

[novel stag]

I like to be a jack of no trades, master of nothing, so I'll spread it out 😉

Thank you all for the detailed answers!

[vagrant kayak]

You're welcome

[dim aspen]

whats the purpose of enclaves?

[lament nacelle]

faction shop

[dim aspen]

but you have to have their talismin equipped?

[lament nacelle]

only the first time

once you unlock the faction, you can go in and out whenever

[dim aspen]

how do we get the talismans? ive been into two so far but cant do anything

[lament nacelle]

chests, loot, enemies quests

[dim aspen]

ah okk

[lament nacelle]

Okay so looking at the wiki, the Alca talisman is from the Glades chests, the Rose talisman is from the Ode boxes, and the Mora one is from the Undercity chests. basically if you see a chest with the grey light coming from it in one of the dungeons or in the world, it can drop a talisman for one of the factions depending on which one

https://wiki.avakot.org/Enclaves

[dim aspen]

ah thank you! ive been having a read but couldnt find it yet

[vagrant kayak]

That's one part of it, once you have the Fragments for them you will need to craft the Talisman still, which requires a resource called Sacred Shimmer. This comes from rank 3 of your starting Enclave

[sweet ruin]

Don't we get one to start with?
All I've ever known is Alca's Children and I don't remember having to make the talisman

[vagrant kayak]

You can enter the other two Enclaves without the Talisman to talk to their leaders, who will give you the other basic Prisms. But to join the Enclave and gain access to their missions/shops you'll need to rank up first

Yeah you get the one for your starting Virtue automatically

[scenic marsh]

Carmo and her mestre ganking me up.

Where can I report a bug?

[lament nacelle]

Hard mode lmao

[vagrant kayak]

#1438224825113120788

[scenic marsh]

Thanks.

[vagrant kayak]

Do search for the bug first, likely another Envoy has already reported it, if they have you can +1 the thread

[scenic marsh]

Yeah there wasn't, thanks for your help.

[quasi wolf]

Anyone else think the flintlock pistol should be tuned down? It feels more like an elephant gun

I was able to one shot the king

I was dealing a total pf 3500 damage and my pact isn’t even maxed out yet

[ripe bone]

what was your setup? it does way less damage usually

unless you minmaxed grace + courage with potions and managed to get a stealth headshot with duo duelo which is a best case scenario

[quasi wolf]

I use a full grace setup, shadow prism+upgraded rose bodkin, and I used flintsmoke to be invisible and duo duelo to buff flintlock

No potions used

[vagrant kayak]

That's a very specific setup which takes advantage of the stealth damage bonus, I don't think it's a problem to reward that kind of play with big single target damage

[quasi wolf]

Yeah

Really strong combo ngl

[ripe bone]

im pretty sure an alca's breath shot deals more damage than that with the combo you did, so it would be silly to nerf the arcanic because a minmaxed setup exists

the rune activation does increase power creep a bit by allowing these combos on demand which is a different issue

[quasi wolf]

Yeah you are probably right

[dusky socket]

Dmg overall is overtuned, Joe said so himself and sounded like he's planning to shave things back a bit and try to make it all more linear, but that's a back seat item compared to getting new weapons and such

[calm briar]

I really liked the Duelo quest. It was short but it made me feel cool and good at the game and also rewarded learning mechanics. New ancestor's charming. Wish they'd actually join us in the Nightfold!

[tulip geyser]

so is this still in alpha?

[primal dagger]

Is Spirit pact good?

[smoky crater]

yes (DE still calls it Pre-alpha tbf)

[smoky crater]

also yes

[livid cobalt]

I have the Mendi quest but it doesnt work when I hit the bell (daytime). Bosses even with quests only works at nights?

[distant jungle]

You in the southwest goop zone and see mendi sitting in his chair?

Cus he has to be in that state to spawn when hitting the bell.

Has nothing to do with the time of day.

Unless you're referring to something else.

[livid cobalt]

He is here yes, but it doesn't spawn 🙁

[novel ivy]

Are you sure you're doing it at Stroiac and not New Visci cuz there's a throne in New Visci that does nothing

[distant jungle]

They did just say that mendi is present and sitting there.

Which doesn't happen at New Visci.

[livid cobalt]

I'm in Stroiac

[novel ivy]

Hm weird

[livid cobalt]

In the map I see the marks of the mission, its bugged I think

[distant jungle]

And if he's there and it's not working, I'd suggest a relog. I've also gotten a few bugged tales like that.

[livid cobalt]

🙁 ok thanks

[distant jungle]

Cancel the tale if you can, for me sometimes the option won't appear for a while.

I had an active tale not even show up in my journal so it got to sit there on the map for a while until it did and I could cancel.

[novel ivy]

Some votives are yeah. I had a Fell the Mighty that broke part way through had to abandon after relogging

[livid cobalt]

Yeah, the quest is not anymore active in the journal, but yes on the map lol

first time I see this

[distant jungle]

I'd relog and, if it's still there, just check the journal every now and again.

When it eventually pops up, abandon it.

[livid cobalt]

Worked! thank you guys

[knotty moon]

The description of the Location in the Journal explicitly prompts you to wear the Pensive cloak.
Given that gameplay affecting equipment was introduced this very Prelude (Duelo Ribbon), it is not that far fetched, and it would indicate that the Motes are very much intended.

Mote can be gained without the Pensive set, as that is how I got my first one.

They do.

[novel ivy]

Glad you were able to get it fixed

That was bugged and not giving the rune though they did fix it

[river elk]

I only have one rune, so basically play runeless.

as I have not got to lvling my shield yet.

[steel topaz]

clem

[wraith badge]

I feel like crashing out.

I've killed this thing probably around 15 times or more, only 2 drops for the new weapon fragment, the rest have been Nettles.

done it so much my method of killing it has become perfected

[knotty moon]

The wonders of RNG.

[wraith badge]

I think I appreciate the versions on Deimos more now.

These Ode'n halls are maddening, the same mundane walls painted once, twice, thrice, evermore. Recalling of the Rooms of Backend, of viral acclaim.

[dusky socket]

We love Rovgot

[wraith badge]

I don't know why but I felt like trying to write something in the style of Soulframe while at the same time referencing/comparing it to the Backrooms for how it feels traveling an endless series of rooms.

[knotty moon]

You need a reason?

[wraith badge]

Boredom leads to madness, madness leads to creativity.

One way to personaify grind fatigue.

[dim prism]

where the college at ?

[wraith badge]

It's the big tall tower closest to the starting area.

[dim prism]

thx

[wraith badge]

Maybe it's just grind fatigue madness but something about this room makes me think of a Corner room from Lua in Warframe.

[knotty moon]

You got a comparison?
Not familiar with it.

[wraith badge]

Sadly no, but if you've not played Warframe here's a brief understanding, Lua (Earth's Moon) is terraformed like most other things, but only to the extent of a breathable atmosphere, it's mostly just Orokin structures similar to the Void tileset, but Lua is in a state of constant collapse/things falling apart, resulting in rooms where you just have a huge gaping window like in the above picture

[knotty moon]

I did play, I just don't remember the tileset.

[wraith badge]

ah

I'm starting to feel like Rovgot worm's drops are timegated

FINALLY.

I got the first fragment on first kill, got a nettle, then got another fragment, then it took about 20 kills to get the final fragment

How do you gain Codex progress for the Slugs and Will-o-wings?
On the slugs I only seem to get the smite thing on kill, which doesn't count.

[bleak sand]

Is it confirmed if journal entries for animals and enemies give mastery?

[knotty moon]

Will-o-Wings you don't, Slugs can be Smited while alive, just rare.

[mellow python]

Using low damage weapons with high smite options helps

[knotty moon]

I heard no one testing this.

[wraith badge]

Pain, you can see them show up in the codex too

[knotty moon]

Yeah, also the axe Sinecure Officer doesn't spawn.

[bleak sand]

hmm ok, seems annoying if they do. Might have to try and test myself once i get the last few motes

[knotty moon]

Two holes in my Journals.
And the Steelsinger 3 was already taunting me.

[lucid adder]

Is there another set of Orengall armor showing when looking at the Compedium? I got all the armor pieces now and wondering cause there is one still greyed out, but it's the exact same silhouette as Orengalls

[fervent ore]

how on earth do i get a rune, i did the quests and never got the free rune cutscene that my friends got, im low level so cant farm for them but cant advance in the game without a rune

[lucid adder]

You shouldn't be locked out of content cause of a rune

[fervent ore]

its the first quest in the game

to equip a rune

[lucid adder]

Loads of open world bosses drop runes too

just go and explore a bit

[knotty moon]

Your best bet is to do any Dermak Undercity dungeon with a starter weapon type equipped (Sword, Bow, or Staff), find Fenn (the wandering ghost) and absorb him, then get out of the dungeon without dying.

[wraith badge]

I'm not sure what I just did, but I did something.
(Audio cut out because I tabbed out)

[lucid adder]

My man ascended

[tacit fiber]

the sword to fight mestra carmo just spawns at night?

[knotty moon]

You can even Smite him from outside before triggering him, the ducks will keep harassing the void.
(also good way to get the Journal entry)

[wraith badge]

I did wonder if he counted as a seperate thing for the journal

yeah, seems so.

[dusty hatch]

no, everytime its off cooldown

[wraith badge]

How long is the cooldown? I assumed you could only fight them as part of the quest.

[knotty moon]

2h, each wreck has an individual timer.

[dusty hatch]

3h I assume. And I mean after the fable, when you do the fights for the armor set

[lucid adder]

Yea it seems similar to siege cds

[dim prism]

gguys where the new dungeon at ?

[knotty moon]

New Viscii.

[dusty hatch]

new viscii, bottom right

[dim prism]

is it a cave like ?

[knotty moon]

Entrance on the side of the fallen tower.

[dim prism]

i c thx alot

[lucid adder]

Someone know off the top of their heads how many mini-quests there are now at the trees? found 4 so far

[knotty moon]

Seven I think, the original three, and four more this Prelude.

[lucid adder]

Ah alright, thanks. Are the originial three from Prelude 13? Cause i skipped that one.

[knotty moon]

Yep.

Eight, there are five mini quest added with this Prelude.

[lucid adder]

Ah alright, good to know ty!

[stiff bluff]

guys I'm new to the game, how to I deal with the enemies that heal when u about to kill them? I can't do anything but kick and attack and they still heal, I may have missed something or not, do I just need to get stronger? and ignore this main quest for now?

[knotty moon]

Depends, you are talking about the big ones that smash the weapon on the ground, or the mage healers?

[tacit fiber]

yeah idk w but the sword from mestra isn´t spawning 🙁

[knotty moon]

In the first case, heavy attacks is your best bet, in the second, kill the healer first.

[stiff bluff]

the Sinecure Officer and the other one in the same dungeoun (forgot the name) also there is these guys who doesn't show the HP

they heal themselves without the healers

[tacit fiber]

after finish the quest and using the ribbon there is another think i need to do for spawning those swords?

[stiff bluff]

also I'm on pc and didn't learn heavy attack or forgot cuz I didn't play for a few days 😭 which key is it?

[knotty moon]

I think the default binding is the middle mouse button, not sure.
Check the key bindings in the options.

[stiff bluff]

thank you! so I use heavy attacks when they are trying to heal? sorry for the many questions haha

[knotty moon]

Yeah, that should do enough damage to overwhelm them, provided you are not too underleveled.

[stiff bluff]

ohhh okay! thank you!

[spare badge]

Game only exists on PC.

[knotty moon]

Otherwise using the rune (charge it with Smites, then Spectral Sight + Heavy Attack) does even more damage.

[stiff bluff]

I woundn't know

[stiff bluff]

that there is only for pc, like??

[stiff bluff]

thank you! I finally took them down 😭

[spare badge]

Preludes is PC only. Because it would slog down the game's development if it were also on consoles.. We're in pre-alpha.

[tacit fiber]

for spawn the sworf from mestra i need to redo the quest?

[spare badge]

Once we're out of the Preludes phase, DE will relese Soulframe to concoles.

[knotty moon]

No, wrecks are on a 2h cd, individual timers.
You still need to wear the Ribbon though.

[tacit fiber]

yeah i never fight one and still usng the ribbon but there is no sword to interact with

[knotty moon]

Are you in the right place?

[spare badge]

Anyhow, for healing enemies, the key is doing more damage than they heal. There's all sorts of ways to do that. Perfect throw at their head, use fully charged heavy attacks, arrow hail, just spam them with light attacks, use pact abilities... If you have the Orengall pact, she might show up and instakill them...

[tacit fiber]

yeap, i already try multiples shipwreck and still can´t fight her

[knotty moon]

I assume you tried relogging?

[tacit fiber]

yeap

[knotty moon]

No idea then, https://discord.com/channels/998758139405029478/1438224825113120788.

[tacit fiber]

no sword at all Y-Y

[spare badge]

Look around in soul mode?

[verbal nebula]

If you check all shipwreck and there is no sword, then yeah, it's a bug. But not until checking them all.

[prisma wadi]

Is it possible to unlock will-o-wings in the codex?

[spare badge]

I don't think so. They die in one hit, so you can't smite them.

[lucid adder]

Are there actually 7 mini quests or 8? Cause if there's 8 i can't for the sake of me find the last one

[opal fable]

#1439842825180155904 ....

[wet tulip]

welp mestra is now grace only armor xD

[zenith knoll]

Fixed the Mestra’s set unintentionally having each Virtue Attunement present, while also requiring Spirit to equip.
The set now is attuned with Grace.

LMAOOOO

[wet tulip]

yup its a worse orengall rn xD. if was fun while it lasted xD

[still violet]

I'm not surprised to see it go to Grace, but it's sad for Spirit

[zenith knoll]

ok i'm logging in now. let's see how it looks now

okay yeah it did take a hit

but imo it's still somewhat better than orengall if you go full grace

[spare badge]

Orengall being grace is a head scratcher. Lore wise, should be spririt.

[zenith knoll]

guess i'll default to the pensive set then

[wet tulip]

Meanwhile grace/courage xD

[fleet axle]

Why does cogah elixir do?

[zenith knoll]

essentially activates hard mode until you log out or die

hard mode comes with a few unique rewards when you kill bosses

[spare badge]

Why? Because it's a parasitic mushroom mixed with magical sap.

[fleet axle]

Ooooooh that’s cool! New armor and stuff???

[zenith knoll]

mostly unique runes and talismans

[fleet axle]

Was wondering before I drank it 🥲

[zenith knoll]

there are like 3 unique talismans and 3 (4?) cogah-only runes

[fleet axle]

Ah but no fancy aesthetic armors from it, sadge

[zenith knoll]

right now no

[upper osprey]

this location have more entries right?

[spare badge]

That's a sub-area in a dungeon. The dungeons themselves don't yet have lore in the journel entries.

[upper osprey]

so this sub-dungeon is blank like this?

[spare badge]

Yep. Just consider it WIP.

[upper osprey]

welp this leaves me with one missing, forgotten refuge

and this i know is random

[spare badge]

Make sure to check different entrances, as not all entrances spawn all possible rooms.

The real question is if anyone's found the mysteious (possibly non-existant) third note.

[halcyon thicket]

Are those actual ode'n letters

[spare badge]

No clue. I can't tell the difference between the ode letting, the mockery lettering, and the silent rose lettering... It's all gobbetygook chicken scratches and squiggles to me.

[sly escarp]

Not mockery, can say that much

[halcyon thicket]

Can't we technically decipher that

We have the ode'n letters deciphered now

[spare badge]

Maybe? If it's not random letters just being placeholder over the actual text.

[still violet]

There's a few armors like this. I've been saying since the armor scaling was added that it makes no sense for mockery set to be Grace, both lore-wise and stat-wise

[spare badge]

You'd need someone who can do that, though. Like I said, it's all chicken scratches and squiggles to me. My brain won't translate such things.

[zenith knoll]

the first line says "dearest envoy"

need time to decipher the rest, assuming it's not on the wiki

oh it is on the wiki, hang on

[halcyon thicket]

Huh that's funny

So basically there is no 3rd note

[zenith knoll]

wiki says it's bugged, much like the 2nd note

[halcyon thicket]

From tuvalkane i mean

[zenith knoll]

only the 1st can be found ingame rn

[vagrant kayak]

I have seen this note be found by new players streaming the game, I assume if you've already found Tuvalkane it no longer appears in-game for you

[zenith knoll]

could be that, yeah

[mellow lagoon]

Significantly increased the health of all Agari, including all Vadagar, Siege Bannerets, Castellans, and Conductors.

You do realise that new players will struggle a lot, right? Not everyone can two-shot the bosses.

[wet tulip]

who ever implemented the runes in chests update didnt ever do 1 neath'uns run xD

[wet tulip]

why there is teamwork

[knotty moon]

Awesome new selector, very fixed.

[wet tulip]

not once and twice ive seen people hosting agari runs/ cogah runs asking for help

[arctic cedar]

Idgi why are we expecting bosses be easy to kill, I really don't understand the complains

[mellow lagoon]

That would be a valid argument if we had automatic grouping for content like in Warframe.

[wet tulip]

people were complaining finding the enemies is too easy so its a surprise until you find them xD

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-matty-matheson-the-queens-falafel-wheezing-haha-gif-26361740

[wet tulip]

hard to implement public sessions when your whole game is like 1 mission with extra submissions ( dungeons) xD

which is why there is recruit chat

[spare badge]

Queston: How TF does one smite a will-o-wing? Those things die in 1 hit.

[knotty moon]

🤷‍♂️
Why are you asking me, ask DE.

[spare badge]

Just thinking in text...

[knotty moon]

Eh, Fenn is perma Smited now.

[barren arch]

lol a faction tale bugged and couldnt progress, I accepted a new one and the old one still wouldnt disappear

[knotty moon]

Not a bug, you can accept multiple.
You can abandon them from the Journal as far as I know.

[barren arch]

oh thanks

[spare badge]

Found a topic on the unsmitable. https://discord.com/channels/998758139405029478/1496710047542149140

Also, yeah, just bug report any broken tales and abandon them and do a different one.

[wet tulip]

hey guys im trying to look for the reaper dungeon and cant seem to find it. was the location changed considering theres a new organ at the P13 spot?

[dusty hatch]

the reaper dungeon is any glades of anduin, it should be shown on your map once you entered any location of it, afaik

[wet tulip]

im doing it in cogah mode. which has a guaranteed spawn and when i was farming it in p13 there was a specific location of entry NE xD. and im trying to find it now and theres a organ in the location lol

[dusty hatch]

Curious, didn't know that. GL!

[wet tulip]

see this is essentially the " updated agari map" xD

and that reaper location is exactly where the organ is lol

[dusty hatch]

I got a reaper in the normal dungeon version in this location, but 5 minutes before the hotfix today

[wet tulip]

again im looking in cogah mode

not the random spawn

[dusty hatch]

i got that. but thats where the entrance is now

[wet tulip]

guess ill try

[knotty moon]

This should be the correct dungeon.

[wet tulip]

kk thanks you both for the tip

[dusty hatch]

hey look, what i posted 1,5 seconds ago

[knotty moon]

Yeah, noticed that later.

[hollow portal]

what's a good way to level weapons now that arena is no longer infinite?

[spare badge]

In the northeast. Just keep killing high level enemies. Run the seige, do votives.

[knotty moon]

Arena is still fairly good at it, but if you want something different you can try Tales in the northeast, or Cogah Organ without freeing the animals.

[wet tulip]

gg

[spare badge]

Is it possible to do the organ without freeing animals? Cause freeing them is part of the quest steps.

[knotty moon]

It will simply not proceed, and keep spawning Sinecure.

[spare badge]

Yes, you can also find Reaper in the glades in the northeastern-ish area.

[wet tulip]

thats where i am

[spare badge]

Ah. Ok. I didn't know that was a thing. I though, you'd just get progression locked with no enemies to kill.

[dusty hatch]

Endless level up spot then?

[spare badge]

Considering that's the only place he spawns...

[knotty moon]

The spawn is not quite consistent, sometimes it stutters a bit, but eventually it keeps spitting out Sinecure to the slaughter.

[spare badge]

But, I was using that as an example of something else Haturz could fight.

[cursive seal]

verminia and her tent aren't showing up in my wife's nightfold, but appears in her ancestor journal . She's tried re-logging 3 times to no avail and even in her own party/instance 🫠 any ideas? what a strange bug

[knotty moon]

Can be, but honestly I would suggest Tales.

[calm echo]

What time is the dev stream today?

[spare badge]

Make sure you're not in multiplayer when doing the fable. Multiplayer and fables don't mix. Have her try relogging with cache optimize. If that don't work, she can try relog with verify.

Ty ty

[carmine cypress]

is hard mode bosses have separate place in codex?

[hexed field]

So I just accidentally triggered the siege of fort curlail? I interacted with a cannon and it blew open a porticullis gate.

should I try and solo it with nothing but my starting gear?

All I have is a bow, I dont even have a sidesword/dagger yet.

[knotty moon]

It is not overly hard, so you should be able to complete it.

[hexed field]

it's already taking several charged shots to kill base level enemies where I am though, and the field boss types take even longer

[ember pasture]

You could try it. You won't lose anything, and I think it's certainly doable numbers wise if you're good on mechanics. If it takes a couple tries as you figure it out, embrace it! We all had to learn it like that.

[hexed field]

I worry I'm not scaling as I should be

[knotty moon]

🤷‍♂️
I would say try, if you see you can't just walk away.

Or ask someone to join you to help I guess.

[hexed field]

If I walk away I won't be able to find it again as I only have one part of my map revealed.

[ember pasture]

I very much doubt that.

[hexed field]

Sure don't feel like it.

[knotty moon]

You will eventually start to hunt down the Trees for the map unlock so I wouldn't worry, when you unlock the map it will be easily findable.

[ember pasture]

Yes. The big balloons for each siege are even visible on the map. There is one showing up that isn't actually doable yet, but other than that, there shouldn't be any confusion about where to go.

[hexed field]

Balloons? Like the ones holding up crates at smaller encampments?

the inverted pyramids shaped ones?

[ember pasture]

Yes. Each siege has a big orange one.

Yes. Weirdo balloons.

[hexed field]

Does that have any mechanical importance to the siege?

is it just "bathe in blood until big boi shows up"?

[ember pasture]

You end it by grabbing a torch from a container nearby and whacking the pole the balloon is anchored to in order to burn it.

[knotty moon]

If you feel weak the best early game way of leveling up is to collect History Motes, explanation here: https://wiki.avakot.org/Locations
Though the Trees for the map are a bigger priority most likely.

[ember pasture]

Well, grabbing and then subsequently lighting the torch at a sconce somewhere nearby.

[hexed field]

So shoot n loot until you find the torch?

[ember pasture]

Well, the archer boss drops a synsylk grappler.

You use that at a wagon looking thing on one of the towers. Get up there, hook it up, and then zip line to the tower with the balloon and do the torch stuff.

[wary maple]

Did they just change what the Mestras furbelow scales with???

[knotty moon]

Mestra Armor was updated to be a Grace armor this hotfix.

[wary maple]

awful

[wet tulip]

it was fairly expected that mestra armor going to be nerfed xD

[knotty moon]

Pensive Armor is still fairly strong, if more in line with other 3* armors. (despite being 2*)

[wet tulip]

it was just a matter of time

[knotty moon]

Nerfed is a strong word.
Just Grace attuned.

[sly escarp]

Fixed

It was fixed

[finite mural]

Yeah, I thought it odd that it had so many pips.

[hexed field]

Ye I only have one of those lmao

[finite mural]

Almost 200 armor rating with totems and buffs would be crazy

[wet tulip]

if something is very strong and it becomes weaker. it isnt fair to say it was nerfed though?

[finite mural]

Yeah I think the drop's may be bugged. I got annoyed with not getting drops on doing the ship battles that I just bought the set.

[knotty moon]

But it isn't weaker, just build specific.

[hexed field]

There's ships in this game? There's ship battles in this game?

[wet tulip]

arent those numbers with the totems you got too though?

[sly escarp]

There's duels on boats atm

[proper crystal]

I knew fire damage was bugged

[sly escarp]

Boats as travel are coming later apparently

[finite mural]

Yeah sorry, poor phrasing

[knotty moon]

There is a battle on a ship, though we do hope of battle with ships.

[knotty moon]

Yeah, but iirc those are the same numbers I was getting before.

[wet tulip]

because you were getting those numbers before they fixed the totem UI gain xD

[wary maple]

so how long till pensive armour gets nerfed fixed lmao

[proper crystal]

What's the scaling on mestra now?

[finite mural]

Grace only

[proper crystal]

Yeah I know that

How much

[knotty moon]

This is no totems, max Grace (could have one more Grace with the quest assignment though).

[proper crystal]

Oh shit what up

Buff for grace build

[wet tulip]

yea fair to say this is nerfed a bit

[proper crystal]

Magic is nerfed, but physical can go higher me thinks

If your grace is more than double your courage + spirit

[wet tulip]

it was 56/55/55 without totems before

so yea magick and stability got nerfed a bit and went to grace scaling only

[proper crystal]

Rip not having to put everything in 1 stat, was fun while it lasted

[wary maple]

quickly turning into a class based mmo yikes

[knotty moon]

Only if you want armor maxing, Grace Hybrids still pulls it off as the best armor.
Actually, this is not true.

[sly escarp]

Huh? Game is...very much not an MMO?

And yeah it's a little bit class based with the Virtues, that's intended as far as we know

[proper crystal]

Man why does grace have 2 sets that are straight better than arbearer's 😔

[wet tulip]

xDDD

[proper crystal]

Pensive exists tho

So that's nice

Unlike wazzard's

[wet tulip]

wazzard is simply best for magick armor. thats it xD

[proper crystal]

Isn't pensive higher

[ornate nexus]

How do kith of kings quests work now? They used to show up on the map and now they don't???

[proper crystal]

Trees

[wraith badge]

I can be trusted with dynamic animations.

[knotty moon]

You can pick them up at the World Trees.

[wet tulip]

pensive is simply more balanced

[proper crystal]

Oh yeah it's 231

I thought it was 222

[wet tulip]

but wazzard is better for magick specifically

[ornate nexus]

They only show quotes when you interact with them? Near one rn

[proper crystal]

Keep looking

[wary maple]

Soulframe is an upcoming free-to-play action role-playing massive multiplayer online game developed and published by Digital Extremes. It is currently available to play on Microsoft Windows, though Digital Extremes intend to release it on both Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 once it is out of alpha.
sorry my bad for reading google

[knotty moon]

Wrong side.

[proper crystal]

It's as much an mmo as Warframe

[sly escarp]

Not sure where google keeps getting the MMO bit, the map is instanced to each player

[knotty moon]

Is that from DE specifically or one of Google's AI hallucinations?

[sly escarp]

Less even, it has no matchmaking

[wet tulip]

https://giphy.com/gifs/movie-leo-inception-9UqRcQHzBou6A

[proper crystal]

It's also in pre alpha

[wary maple]

its an mmo the same way warframe is one .... ok semantics come through 😍

[sly escarp]

True! Though kinda doubt we'll get matchmaking of the type Warframe has.

[proper crystal]

Probably not

But invasions would be fun

Must have been the wind

[wet tulip]

infamy might bring invasions

like grustrag 3 and zanuka from warframe

[knotty moon]

Anyone got the axe Sinecure Officer to spawn by any chance?

[wet tulip]

if you mean this one most likely still bugged xD

[proper crystal]

Does not spawn

[wet tulip]

didnt see that one yet

[spare badge]

Probably the same place it tells us to horad artillery shells for a game where the artillery doesn't us ammo, thus said game doesn't have artillery shells....

[knotty moon]

Was hoping it was stealth fixed.

[wet tulip]

and considering they didnt add all of the enemy types yet. no rush xD

[knotty moon]

There is an hole in my Journal.

[orchid vale]

Uhp, my bad.

Known bug, several instances! Oops.

[alpine root]

why did one dungeon give me 11 copies of everflame lol

[knotty moon]

My guess?
Multiple Smite Pull on Fenn.

[alpine root]

oh yeah that might be it lol

i just kept following him and pull smiting because it was funny

[orchid vale]

Oh god, I did the same thing because I was confused, I count 14

[dusky socket]

Lol, I was trying that earlier but didn't work for me

[hexed field]

Can you only pull smite enemies that have a mote circling them or something, 'cause I'm replaying the content where that's introduced and couldn't do it to any enemies, only the ghost that shows up when you channel.

[grand stag]

Hey so if I wanted to ask a dev what their core design pillars for the game is, how (where?) would I do that? I had my first session yesterday and got feedback but I am curious on the direction of the ship. Thanks.

[hexed field]

I can pull smite the motes that appear after an enemies dies sometimes. otherwise I dont understand how that's supposed to work

[knotty moon]

#soulframe-news message
But that might be a tad too broad a question, might as well try though.

[knotty moon]

When you attack you have a chance to make the enemy glow (Red, Green, or Blue), that's a Smite (chance in the weapon tooltip), then using Spectral Sight + Light Attack you can Pull it.

If the enemy dies while glowing the Smite will remain around and can still be Pulled.

[hexed field]

OH

Yeah that aint communicated well enough for my autistic braincells. RGB corresponds to a particular Courage/Grace/Spirit Rune or no?

[dusky socket]

But often times it won't actually count as a pull smite if the enemy is already dead (probable bug).

[wraith badge]

I can't help but think maybe they over-buffed the bosses.
I am trying my hardest here.

[knotty moon]

Also, this is where feedback is generally posted, if you want the Devs to see it, but they don't usually directly respond.
https://discord.com/channels/998758139405029478/1438224662344761345

[sly escarp]

Catch some devstreams probably, next one's in an hour thirty

[dusky socket]

Make sure to kill the middle one (white) first as he heals the others. Can also heal himself, so if healing is active, just wait for it to run out before burning through skills.

[wraith badge]

I did, he was the first one I took out.

[dusky socket]

Also helps greatly to go into the fight with rune charges, so don't waste them on the first two bosses/adds

[soft pendant]

Can we stream the game ?

[sly escarp]

Yes!

[spare badge]

Try using Oscelda. Sirin's not that great for survivability.

[wraith badge]

I spammed all of them on the white guy first since I knew he had to go asap.

[wraith badge]

I'm using Tethren.

[spare badge]

Same end result advice.

[wraith badge]

It was hard but manageable prior to the health buff, but it feels like each enemy is an endgame boss now.

[grand stag]

No time. I am employed. I can make a forum post. First guy answered me enough. Thanks for help.

[wraith badge]

Feels to me like the Mirifuir triple boss was designed around a full squad

Sinecure Soldier: Whatever, I don't get paid enough for this.

Don't think so, silhouette's wrong

That might be the Tethren starting armour?

[halcyon thicket]

Yh it's orengall's

[zenith knoll]

isn't that hewyl? he's not bugged as far as i'm concerned

Sinecure are mecenaries, so that logic tracks.

As far as I know the Cogah versions are not in the Journal.

[dusty hare]

Rip maestr

[thorny glen]

does the type of weapon i get in a duel matter what reward i get?

[iron falcon]

where do you find ode's toe? I found it everywhere before but now I find every mushroom except that one

[hexed field]

Also just discovered parrying, because by default on an xbox controller blocking is attached to left bumper and not left trigger, as my brain insists it should be. IRL you don't want to parry with a bow but this is a game where bows don't break from the stress

+1 for completely customizable controls lots of games in the testing phase omit that.

[knotty moon]

I think you can rebind even the controller layout.

[smoky crater]

You can yeah

Basically anything to anything outside of like look and move

[hexed field]

hrm, just had a thought... no, holding LT to block doesnt allow you to "parry" with the dodge button B, but it did just impress upon me how responsive dodging is. A different way to implement dodge would be to have it require a directional movement to trigger instead of just a button but just a button is fine when parrying requires timing anyways. Just time your block.

Nice.

I like as well there's a timing window to your dodge that allows a roll. beaks up the animations so it's not just constant footwork.

[smoky crater]

Also useful for moving a further distance with a single dodge + roll combo

[dusty hare]

can we buff bromius

[hexed field]

What's the context behind determining when the button combo pulls smite or triggers a weapon rune, because I just tried repeatedly to trigger alca's breath after rebinding my controls so light attack was RT and block was LT, swapping what was already there (previous controls were LT to channel and rt to do the special attack arrow rain thing) and all i did was try to pull smite repeatedly. very frustrating during my second run of the garrun fight. Likely wasn't fully charged, just a hair away so the bar looked full.

[pure sinew]

First impression thusfar: I dig how magic is a weapon type than a complete separate system. Still getting used to how it controls, but looking forward to what adventures I shall embark on in the future.

[sly escarp]

Soul sight + heavy should Rune unless you have something else bound over the Heavy button (like Smite)

[hexed field]

huh. even though they're separate control schemes the button combos interact? I though it was soulsight plus light attack, but maybe it is heavy attack instead. Heavy/special attack is on RB, same as smite. both require holding the button in spite of only one of them (smite) being on the soulsight control scheme.

[sly escarp]

Yeah, Rune Activation just piggybacks the Heavy Attack keybind atm

So if you bind Smite over the same button as Heavy Attack you won't be able to Rune

[hexed field]

Lemme change smite then.

Yup. that was it. I knew I was fully charged it just wouldn't let me when i needed to! PEBCAK is the worst🤣

welp, time to unleash fury on some hapless mercs instead of a boss level enemy.

I'm sure y'all already talked about this, but . . what did they do to Mestra's armor?

[civic plover]

Hello I just wanted to ask a question. It's been awhile since I've last played but last time I was playing with a friend the progression was one sided. What I mean is I would join my friends session but when I leave it I'd be back to where I left off rather than keeping my progress. Has that been fixed or is that still an issue?

[sly escarp]

Fables tend to be VERY buggy progression wise in multiplayer

But other activities tend to work

[spice raven]

I need help updating the game, when i download the file from the website, it just tells me to select a file from my computer but i dont have anyhting to select

[sly escarp]

It's asking for an install location

You downloaded a .msi file. This installs the launcher.

[spice raven]

lmfao ;-; thank you

[sly escarp]

The launcher installs the game

[civic plover]

Alright I plan to play again tomorrow so I'll test and see how it goes. Thank you for replying!

[hexed field]

Getting absolutely thrashed by Nimrod. This Normal? Why am I so weak?

[bitter sparrow]

I don't have to beat Nimrod and Vadagar Stag for the Brewer of Hues quest do i? Oh. you're supposed to die twice beforehand while the healthbar of Vadagar hovers in the background like a fell omen. okay then.
-# I don't like dying, even if I don't truly lose anything it feels like a failure and failure is bad.

[dense dawn]

A couple of months ago, I applied for access to the game, but I still haven't been granted it. Now, someone is telling me that I can get a game key and play without a "resolution." Am I being deceived, or am I stupid?

[civic plover]

If you watch the current devstream and link your Twitch you can get the key right now for the preludes

[calm crown]

I knew they'd eventually nerf Mestra's armor. But damn, they straight up murdered it.

[upper osprey]

this is pain, rovgot ruins motes are hard to find

[hexed field]

What do the three attributes do for your character? is courage damage, grace health and Spirit magick?

[exotic maple]

Hello can someone please explain in the new sword and sheild the virtue req is courage and below that it has two courage dots and two spirit dots what is the purpose of the spirit dots?

[subtle nimbus]

new player here, made my way through the stag and the bear, but I'm still stuck on orlick's first saga, needing me to get a rune (which I have none of), am I meant to just keep grinding bosses until I get my first one to complete that?

[hexed field]

runes are weapon enhancements

[sly escarp]

Courage is a boost your red ability, it also gives more health and allows you to use better armour. Spirit boosts your Green ability, and reduces the cooldowns of your abilities. Grace boosts your Blue ability and improves your sealth damage

[sly escarp]

Adds damage to the weapon for each point of spirit

Lyke Wake gains damage from having Courage or Spirit, as long as the Courage requirement is met

[exotic maple]

ok thank you for the reply

[sly escarp]

Can drop from chests, or visit the ghost in the undercity (look for a blue dot on your map) and absorb it for a rune

[hexed field]

so being grace focused is why I'm so weak in open combat and kept dying so easily to nimrod. granted y'all over here at like 150 armor while I'm sitting at 23 with 6 spirit, 6 courage and 9 grace.

still using my starting gear, btw, 'cause I ain't got anything else.

[sly escarp]

Faction Tales are a good way to pick up some new gear!

[zenith knoll]

the sheer amount of people who chose alcan almanac... lmao

[hexed field]

I have Nettle due in 5h 56m and Sollos-1 due in 3h 59m, so I'll finally have blades to work with instead of just a bow. a bow is nice, but when 95% of the enemies are a melee archetype that rushes ya it gets old having to constantly retreat. Need to up my crits too, I have four charges for my breath arrows and I'm not getting enough crits to sustain it for regular use.

[upper osprey]

just for clarifying my mind, the rovgot ruins mote are completely random the spawn or they spawn everytime i enter the dungeon on a random place?

i did like 20 runs or more, opening all chest holding q spamming left click and only found like 3

[lavish heath]

how long would organ take to reset

[smoky crater]

3h

[molten mulch]

hey, do this game have matchmaking like warframe ?

[smoky crater]

not atm

in the future? maybe in some capacity for some specific content

[molten mulch]

not atm means it comes ?

mhmmm

[smoky crater]

thing is you spawn straight into the open world which would make matchmaking for just openworld stuff... weird

[molten mulch]

sad so no reason for me to bank 100$

i wanna play with random ppl

without need of invite

i hate co op games with invite only

[dapper sigil]

valid

[novel lynx]

Will soulframe have hitstop? The melee combat impact on enemy is okay ish right now, but it get dull the longer i play

[sly escarp]

There is a recruiting chat but yeah, no matchmaking

[smoky crater]

no info afaik

[molten mulch]

yeah nah not for me

thank yall

[sly escarp]

Totally fair! Have a good one!

passed by the place a couple hotfixes ago but nothing, then I happened to pass by again

[dark talon]

So odetempest packt will stay useless?

[knotty moon]

Sailjaaaaack!

[dapper sigil]

@knotty moon no no

[brisk solstice]

Perchance

😭 de were are my codes I had tones

[ripe bone]

ive seen that word 4 times the past hour

and its more than i expected

[brisk solstice]

You may be curse... Perchance

[half talon]

I see it much more in the books I read…

[dapper sigil]

cringe

[reef mist]

I love the graphics

[frank forge]

probably a silly question but any thing i should be aware of when first playing? just got access

[dapper sigil]

its buggy so expect some impasses

a little repetetive atp, but subject to change

[frank forge]

id say thats almost part of the fun hope to figure stuff out :3

[dapper sigil]

if you like aging fast yeah

[knotty moon]

For Journal hunters: #1496418667666341978 message
Axe Sinecure Officer is from Orengall quest apparently.

[hexed field]

Feel like I'm not gaining any ground for using/ranking the bow, I've got three whole points in that weapon art but the bow itself is like 15 or something now. is this supposed to be slow because it applies to all bows, meaning the only thing we can truly change on individual weapons t give us an edge is runes?

[dapper sigil]

so repeat orengalls fable, yes?

[frank forge]

true aha

[knotty moon]

The points do apply for all bows yes, you get 5 points at rank 30, per unique bow that you level.
First few points are fast, then there is a couple of big gaps.

[dapper sigil]

dont frustrate on it that system will get reworked

[knotty moon]

Also that.

Though leveling stuff to rank 30 is something you will want to do anyway for the exp.

[hexed field]

okay so definitely gonna take some time. I'm just wanting to change up my combat style and have nothing to work with is all, need to look into the... faction tales (had to scroll up to find it). gotta fight a bear first tho I guess.

[dapper sigil]

play with others it takes away some annoyance

[knotty moon]

Faction Tales are unlocked before Waste Bear.

[dusky socket]

@hexed field it's best to focus on getting armor, Prisms and player levels (if you haven't already full discovered all locations on the map.) That way you can freely swap to different builds to make using different weapons viable. Otherwise you'll end up sort of softlocked to one Virtue attunement

[hexed field]

unlocking these ancestor souls in my backrooms is what I'm truly doing I guess, but there's no personal investment there for me right now other than introducing more systems. Like unlocking the orbiter via the segments, which had a linear sort of story attached to it, not so here. it's more a series of fever dreams leading into meeting souls followed by bossfights.

[dapper sigil]

and youre right

[dusky socket]

Fever dreams is accurate XD

[dapper sigil]

maybe u wanna return to the game when a proper introduction and goal has been set

[hexed field]

-# interesting. that cage I unlocked reset and gave me a different thing

[uneven marsh]

does anyone know if there is plans for clan/clan like organizations in soulframe in the future?

[dusky socket]

You can assume there are, just not high on the list right now

Would be somewhat unbelievable if they didn't introduce that into the game

[uneven marsh]

I completly understand not anytime soon

yeah you're not wrong there

[half talon]

They were teased once on a dev stream ages back but we haven’t seen anything since.

[dapper sigil]

i hope theyll be called guilds

[pine ridge]

Hey, I just came back to this game for the first time since the preludes, how do I interact with this? I'm doing the grand fable quest

[dapper sigil]

idk what im looking at

[half talon]

Mote? Spectral sight and right click?

[pine ridge]

idk my bird just led me to this thing with that quest marked

I need to equip a rune, do you get those around here?

[dapper sigil]

ah

[knotty moon]

Still in the Preludes.
Also screen without the Spectral Sight?
I think that's the rat for Verminia's quest.

[dapper sigil]

looks like a fawn sleeping

[sly escarp]

That's just a respawn shrine

[white igloo]

This husk seems... relaxed?

[sly escarp]

If you die your birb will appear there to resurrect yiu

[halcyon thicket]

he cri

[pine ridge]

ah gotcha

[dapper sigil]

pilates mockery, new in the envoy journal

[pine ridge]

are there instructions in game on how I'm supposed to find and equip a rune? or should I just walk around until I find one as like, random loot?

[knotty moon]

You can get one during Tormented Stag, or any Dermak Undercity dungeon by getting Fenn with a starter weapon equiped (Sword, Staff, or Bow).
Otherwise they can be found in chests or by defeating bosses.

[dapper sigil]

whats your IGN i can help u get one

[pine ridge]

I think I did the tormented stag a WHILE ago, maybe it didnt drop one back then

[dapper sigil]

go to ur arsenal find a weapon and right click

[pine ridge]

because I didnt have anything to equip in that slot

[pine ridge]

I checked and there was nothing to equip in that slot

[knotty moon]

That method of aquisition was just added, but you can replay it (do equip a starter weapon to be sure though).

[dapper sigil]

what weapon r u wielding

[pine ridge]

a halberd I think

[half talon]

If you do the stag quest you will get one for free. Then go into your inventory and equip it. It will be for your starter weapon (unless you’re replaying then it’ll be one of the three starter weapons)

[pine ridge]

vasp-IV

[dapper sigil]

and u dont have a rune for it?

[pine ridge]

oh gotcha

[pine ridge]

yeah I have nothing to put in the rune slot for all 3 of my weapons, lol

[dapper sigil]

rune or totem?

im logging on

[pine ridge]

this one

[dapper sigil]

yeah, lets get you one

[half talon]

Hmmm that doesn’t sound right… you went through and did the part where you pull Fenn Jotar?

[pine ridge]

Im going to be so real, I barely remember my gameplay from when I did it

[half talon]

Ah you need to do it again to get the rune now. They just updated that.

[pine ridge]

it was pretty much right after the stag quest released and then I didnt play again until 20 minutes ago

[smoky crater]

i heard that getting a rune from that interaction is bugged atm but don't quote me

[half talon]

Otherwise Agari missions or random chests.

[half talon]

I did it last night so unless today’s hotfix borked it, it should be good.

[smoky crater]

a

nevurmind den ignor me :)

[pine ridge]

Omne managed to guess my ig name, lol

[dapper sigil]

lets get a rune

[knotty moon]

You need to have a starter weapon equipped I believe, also Pulling Fenn can be spammed for multiple runes.
But it should work.

[smoky crater]

[dapper sigil]

glaive runes drop from kabocha right

[smoky crater]

glaive?

[dapper sigil]

who else

gath and stuff

[smoky crater]

ain't no glaive in the game

[dapper sigil]

yes those are glauves

[smoky crater]

polearms

[dapper sigil]

whatever

kabocha no?

[dusky socket]

Not wrong XD

I too was confused when I first played WF and I was like...wtf, this ain't glaive

[smoky crater]

oh i guess that is a glaive... almost... almost.

[dusky socket]

Sharp pointy thing, that's what matters 🙏

[half talon]

So close…

[smoky crater]

-# almost

[white igloo]

Ok, so dumb question

[smoky crater]

we shall answer dumb questions

[half talon]

We all started new so shoot

[dusky socket]

@dapper sigil and yes, drops from both Kabocha and Gourdo

[dusky socket]

No promises we won't have dumb answers

[dapper sigil]

whos gourdo again

[dusky socket]

Like Kabocha, but in Neathuns

[smoky crater]

kabocha equivalent in a neathuns dungeon

[dapper sigil]

ah

i dont go there

english pls

[white igloo]

Can I just use the Duelo Ribbon as a transmog, but still be allowed to challenge the ghost lady, or do I need to actually wear it as armor?

[half talon]

Please keep the chats to English, per #server-rules

[sly matrix]

Seasons change as we spring up then blue

[dusky socket]

Can assume a transmog won't work, because you can have other gear transmogged while wearing ribbon, and it works

[past wyvern]

Okey

[dusky socket]

So it's bound to what armor you're wearing, not its appearance

[white igloo]

Darn

[finite stone]

You need to wear it. From https://wiki.avakot.org/Duelo_Ribbon:

[white igloo]

also so far the lady isn't giving me armor fragments

so far I've just gotten a Joinery

[sly matrix]

Rules are made to be broken 😇

[white igloo]

hoping this isn't gonna be a repeat of the Wizard Chassis not dropping for me, cuz I'm still sitting at 3/4

[half talon]

That's a great way to get kicked. And I really don't like to kick peeps.

[sly matrix]

Aww, no funs allowed. You can't just give us a pirate pact and not expect a bit of scallywaggin' 😮

[smoky crater]

can i do it? :D

[half talon]

I didn't give anything. I'm not a dev.

[half talon]

Be nice...

[smoky crater]

i'll happily kick people 👀

now i proceed to give another example of why i shouldn't be mod even when people say that i should become one

[past wyvern]

I just wrote something in Turkish earlier—they recreated the song “Sweet Dreams” really well using AI, I keep listening to it over and over. By the way, sorry about that, guys.
👌 🎧

[sly matrix]

Pedantic 🤔
But ok, no Scallywaggin' allowed... While Helix is looking 👀

[smoky crater]

include "while no one is looking" in that

[sly matrix]

Naah, No one is a snitch, I don't trust them.

[half talon]

Oh do we have a No One here? That would track actually....

[smoky crater]

we be snitchin

we got like.... 5 "noone" named people here

[half talon]

But, I'm not the only mod around, just one of the only ones chatting atm

[sly matrix]

I know Helix, and we appreciate your hard work ❤️

I imagine moderating a discord is like trying to herd cats

[past wyvern]

“I think a dragon should be added to the game

[half talon]

Cats might be easier

[dusky socket]

Cats 100% would be easier

[worn panther]

Dragon with cat head

[dusky socket]

You can at least clap your hands and throw a couple "psst psst" around and they'll scatter. Us goobers in Discord? Good luck XD

[half talon]

Appreciate it. I would rather give a verbal warning than an official one. Official ones are scary.

[smoky crater]

[knotty moon]

\o/
Pulling a Smite on Styne is hard though.

[smoky crater]

cat burrito when

[sly matrix]

Yeah, I'm not trying to make trouble, so no worries 😄

[half talon]

I can make one right now...my purrito is right behind me...mwahahaha

[smoky crater]

pupper burrito ingame yes?

[sly matrix]

I kinda hope we get another Guide later that's a flying Cat, and we get a great cutscene of it chasing Floppet around 😂

[past wyvern]

Bro, since the game is set in an old era, just imagine—wouldn’t it be awesome if there were dragons? I think there should be.

[smoky crater]

eh?

[half talon]

I'm telling you...if they implement my chef ancestor idea...cats are added along side, it's perfect....

[dusky socket]

Considering the nature of Soulframe, the distinct style, and the lack of any reptiles on Midrath, I doubt a dragon will make it's way to our humble shores. Maybe like, a giant Void Wyrm

[sly matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/you-cooked-cooked-cookin-cooking-cook-gif-14277058821570219383

[frank forge]

time to start my adventure

[half talon]

Okay I kinda like this idea more for the ancestor

[sly matrix]

My first thought when I heard Cats and Chef xD

[dusky socket]

Turns out our Orengall pup isn't going to grow up to be a mount, it's finna be a chef

[half talon]

Lol nah I had it as a chef that would try to persuade the envoy not to sacrifice their plants to Verminia, and would try to entice the envoy to cooking instead. The cats and mice chase each other, and Verminia and the chef would argue randomly in the nightfold

[echo imp]

We need to go bigger

[vagrant kayak]

We do not allow posting of AI generated images

[dusky socket]

Specifically so we don't look like Hobbits standing next to Deora

[sly matrix]

Honestly, with the way they're already implementing the Events. I'd probably 💩 myself at a Dragon Event. Just hearing that massive roar, watching a massive dragon swoop down over the forest, with a massive sound of gust as it lands somewhere waiting for you.

[finite stone]

Dragons were already confirmed in an earlier devstream (just that they'll be soulframe-styled)

[past wyvern]

I get it, but I found this on the internet, and the other examples don’t resemble anything I’m trying to explain 👍

[frank forge]

honeslty i have no idea what im donig or where to start xD

[smoky crater]

follow bird

[vagrant kayak]

Once you've found ancestor Orlick make sure to chat to him, he'll have some basic progression for you to follow

[dapper sigil]

is styne the one next to spider?

[frank forge]

i shall follow the bird

thx guys

[weak gale]

This is an interesting pose, post Duelo

[knotty moon]

Styne is the one from Orengall quest, the one that gets instant shotted by her.
You got half a second of time to throw a couple of Flyblades before having to log out before Orengall finishes killing her.

[dapper sigil]

are u fr

why would this even be a journal entry if u have to cheese it

[knotty moon]

🤷‍♂️

So close, yet so far...

[dapper sigil]

i appreciate ur compulsion for completion

thats bad phrasing

but i didnt mean it that way

i hope all unused usernames get freed on release again

i know ppl are namehogs

[dusky socket]

How did you manage the slugs??

[knotty moon]

Flyblades orbital, with the perks for increased Smite chance on Orbital and plain Smite chance, plus smite chance totem.
It is still kinda rare, but once in a while it happens while they are still alive.
I suggest Precklies with as low Grace as possible.

[white igloo]

...So where's this "Ruvgot Wyrm" I'm hearing about

someone said it's in a secret dungeon around the swamp, but Soulmap isn't showing anything

[knotty moon]

New Viscii, the new dungeon boss.

[mild palm]

um excuse me, wtf is the Agari Reaper (or Flayed Reaper now)?

[dapper sigil]

its the dog

[mild palm]

Oh

[knotty moon]

Boss dog.

[smoky crater]

isn't it the doggg?

[dapper sigil]

oh

thats what i said

[mild palm]

Wait theres a boss dog?

[smoky crater]

bruh

[mild palm]

Does it have an icon while in Cogah?

[dapper sigil]

naur

[neon spruce]

i got a question, what armor should i try to go for courage?
this is my current one, kinda wonna get something to just be more tanky(ignore my weapons am just leveling them)

[white igloo]

...Ok cool, WHERE is that?

[knotty moon]

In this dungeon.

[white igloo]

That's the question.

[dapper sigil]

southeast, white spot on map

[mild palm]

I don't think I have fought that thing yet

[white igloo]

Thank you

[white igloo]

Is it day / night only, or any time

[dapper sigil]

all day

any time

[past drift]

If a weapon has 3 pips already, there's no point in using thrice blessed of the same virtue right? It maxes at 5?

[dapper sigil]

yes

but twice blessed is rarer than thrice for some reason

[white igloo]

Ok so I'm here... and there's nothing

[dapper sigil]

check the large pillar

it has a side entrance

[upper osprey]

Castle kearnhold have golden motes?

[white igloo]

I did

oh i see now

[upper osprey]

oh, nvm

[white igloo]

Hope it gets marked on the map now

[subtle nimbus]

think I've been doing sieges incorrectly... I beat the boss and got the drop with the key icon but couldn't find anything else to do or anywhere else to go, but leaving the area told me I was abandoning the siege?

[dapper sigil]

Mirifuir?

[subtle nimbus]

nah fort carleil or whatever it's called

[dapper sigil]

was it the synsilk thing or a key

[subtle nimbus]

synsilk grappler

[dapper sigil]

u need to go into one of the towers in the castle and use it

then hookline into the other side to set the baloon ablaze

[subtle nimbus]

hmm okay, do I have to do the siege all over again to do that lol

[knotty moon]

After killing the boss you need to climb one of the towers, use the grappler on the cart thingy, rappel to the other side, and then light the balloon on fire.

[dapper sigil]

no just continue

[subtle nimbus]

okay awesome thank you!

[upper osprey]

here have a dermak dungeon, i defeated the boss like 3 times and isnt showing on my map, im doing something wrong?

[smoky crater]

buggg

which is weird because there used to be a marker there

[knotty moon]

Fun fact: Styne's Bisulcam can respawn.

[upper osprey]

yeah thats what im trying to find out..

[smoky crater]

soooo... buggg

[tardy fossil]

hi guysss got a key :)), this test is timed?

[knotty moon]

Nope, once you are in, you are in.

[soft pendant]

If any one needs a code lmk

I got 3 to give

[upper osprey]

since update 8 i guess when you play, all your goodies will stay.

[frosty condor]

pretty please?

[lethal halo]

This is a gated entry game that they define as a "Pre-pre-pre(^n)-Alpha" to protect themselves from people litigating over the changes they make.

[tardy fossil]

well thx, this game looks attractive. Lets go!

[smoky crater]

[upper osprey]

it is. the atmosphere the visuals, music, everything in the game is pretty solid

[foggy onyx]

I just started playing again after a long break and wow the changes

Camel ancestor scared me when they popped in

[uneven marsh]

thanks for the heads up

[upper osprey]

never saw those, this are quests that gives envoy xp or just random encounters?

[white igloo]

So... is there a cooldown on when I can fight the ghost lady for the Duelo armor?

[upper osprey]

nope, just go around the world and find the shipwrecks

[smoky crater]

you can find the swords for the duels at 3 shipwrecks at a time. believe it's either a 2 or a 3h cooldown for the fights individually

[white igloo]

💀

[knotty moon]

Those are one off mini quests.

[upper osprey]

here all locations, credits to one of the envoys of this group

[white igloo]

so I just gotta get lucky and hope I don't waste seeds

great

[soft pendant]

Do u still need it ?

[upper osprey]

they give envoy xp?

[knotty moon]

No idea.

[smoky crater]

doubt it?

[visual radish]

pretty sure no quest gives envoy xp

[finite stone]

You sure? I've had no time to play yet but 99% of people I've seen say that shipwrecks have a cooldown

[upper osprey]

random spawn, yeah, tested here.

[finite stone]

apparently nocta tested and there's no cooldown?

[frosty condor]

nah im good

[knotty moon]

Superdoggo, now they can fly.

[junior cloak]

Anyone know which enemy this is and/or had any luck getting the frond things in the journal? Not sure how to smite them if they keep exploding......

[knotty moon]

If that is the Sinecure Officer, then it is Styne, from the Shewolf Snared.

[junior cloak]

dang another tale one? you are probably right? thank you

[junior cloak]

yep thats the one

Thank you!!!!!

[knotty moon]

Logging out before talking to Orengall after the fight should reset it, also you have limited time to pull off the Smite, either Flyblade or Arrow Hail could work.
Orengall 3 was suggested as well.

[junior cloak]

ive been using the 1 in 10 kick smite and just kicking them over and over to get it to pop off LOL slow but effective. but ill do that if the kicking does proc

[knotty moon]

Well, you got about half a second to pull it off, you can't afford slow. 😛

[junior cloak]

ooofff!!!!

[frigid pond]

how do i deal damage to bosses when they're hp is silver colored?

[knotty moon]

Heavy Attacks, Runes, or armor strip/bypass Totems.

[wicked pecan]

The artwork is so freaking beautiful! What a rad and unique looking game! I'm already in love!

[ruby ocean]

I refuse to believe Picktrix isnt a scam...its been 2 month of killing Nimrod. Had every other rune in the week

[kind narwhal]

can these boxes be moved

[knotty moon]

Yes, there should be a lever around, possibly behind some breakable boxes.

[kind narwhal]

Ah

I'll half to check next time I'm.in there

[hexed spoke]

There is 100% a cool down

I have no proof as I did not document it as I just did this to farm.

What I did was to go to the same duel places I did on the quest. I do all 3 and log out after around an hr or so. I log in again and all 3 of those spawn. Not once in my time while farming for the set did I not do a full 3/3 battles.

From my experience, it's not rng and there is def. A cooldown

[prisma wadi]

is it possible to get the pink/cyan that were in before verminia could brew dyes

[knotty moon]

I don't believe so, cyan is maybe in the Sinin Founder pack, but would have to check and I don't have the game open atm.

[normal sail]

sirin has a silverish blue along with a deeper blue

i forget the the other 2

[whole river]

This game is cool

[balmy hinge]

Guys, in the runes, it tells me to to hold Q + press middle mouse button, I do that in battle but the objective does not get completed

[sly matrix]

I just noticed this while looting stuff.. Are you only allowed to get 50 of these a day?

[knotty moon]

Farily sure you need to do it five times, if you track the quest there should be a counter.

[normal sail]

wait did they change the clouds or am i mistaken

[rigid condor]

I missed the devstream, did they mention if the mount is coming in p15?

[knotty moon]

It's not a daily limit, just a cap, sell them at the Factions and you can pick up more.

[hexed spoke]

No capped to 50 you can hold

[sly matrix]

🤨

[knotty moon]

Kinda, wasn't clear if they said they were working on it soon™, or it was scheduled for P15.

[knotty moon]

That's a bug that can happen in multiplayer.
As a client specifically, I think.

[sly matrix]

I never play multiplayer, literally only solo 😛

[knotty moon]

Dunno then, bug must have leaked into singleplayer.
You are only supposed to have a max of 50 though.

[sly matrix]

Can I spend them without being part of the faction? 😛
Or should I just spend them at my own faction
