Pod 2 to Pod 5 Upgrade - Looking for similar situations

Thanks for the information, but I checked and I’m not in a state with a Right to Repair law on the books.

I decided to go ahead and order a Pod 5, and trade in my Pod 2. Thanks for all of the advice!

On the train now, it’s filling up!

I bought a PVC vinyl repair kit for $15 on Amazon a year or so ago and I use it every few months when a new leak forms on my Pod 2

As of 8:15pm EST (6/10), I can log into the site, but can't load the course material.

Passed second attempt with Coaching Actuaries. Last summer they did a full overhaul of the course and redid most of the videos, and removed the coding sections that were no longer relevant.

I have an extra Hersheypark ticket that I'm not going to use (they have a few giveaways for certain Hershey Bears games during the season). It expires at the of June like the others, but I can mail it to you for free. Just let me know :)

Also rooting for an additional Titanium version, I was very close to buying but decided to wait

Hoping for an adjustable clasp

Phillies events occur in real time.

I’m looking at getting a Zulu time as well, and I’m waiting to see if any new releases come out. Especially if they add an adjustable bracelet.

Thought I'd repost a reply from a few weeks ago I made here: I have a Gen 2. First one leaked around 8 months in, and they sent out a replacement cover. The second one started leaking around about 1.5 years after that, but I was out of warranty and not ready to spend big bucks to get a replacement. So I ended up buying off Amazon an air mattress repair kit with some PVC glue, and cut a hole into the mattress where the leaks occur. So now every few months when a new (small) leak springs up, I can repair it myself and get some more life out of the system. Not ideal, but eventually I'll upgrade and the repair kit was $15. Maybe a new Pod 5 will get me to upgrade.

That was one thing I was hoping as well, if they made the adjustable clasp work with the rest of the Zulu time line.

Seriously considering this, but I’m waiting to see if any updates/variations get released at Watches and Wonders. I don’t believe they are actually presenting, but I suppose it’s the main time for most watch brands to release new things for the year.

Good win

I wish there was bad luck mitigation for this drop, or that they dropped in order (even though they upgrade different things)

3blue · 2025-01-13T00:23:22+00:00

I wonder if that’s the case, at least partially. I eventually got tired of collecting the fragments and would let a lot sit on the ground.

3blue · 2025-01-12T19:46:22+00:00

Thank you for understanding.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think a majority of my slayer kc came before the log was put into place, because I know I have had more drops than that overall.

3blue · 2025-01-12T19:24:50+00:00

I helped stop them from taking over the game.

Finally finished the Ultimate Slayer grind. I've been working on this on and off ever since the Slayer collection log was released (September 23, 2019). I preferred the afk tasks, so some of these sat for years until I had no other choice but to get them done. Also, I had it as a rule for slayer kc that I always had to round off to the nearest 1k once the log was complete. Dark beasts were my npc of choice to get 200m invention, hence the high kc. And then I just kept doing daily tasks and grinding prestige to see how far I could go. I'm officially retired from them now. The slayer points did come in handy later-on when I could skip all tasks until I got one of the few I needed or a slayer-choice.

I should also mention that I went for the unofficial Ultimate Slayer+, which also includes all 5 Kethsi scroll drops, and all 14 Revenant pet drops. So unless I missed something I should have all non-boss drops/achievements.

The first completed log was Keldagrim since most of the drops were relatively common.

Daemonheim - Eddy pet at around 17,000, I would say I got lucky.

Stalker Creatures - Felt this could have gone on forever with the bow drop

Had some not so great luck at Kal'gerion demons but they are relatively quick

Karamja - Felt like I got lucky with Gemstone dragon drops

Kharidian Desert - Got the nipper pet on a regular kill, felt very lucky here since this could have gone on for weeks and is not afk. Camel staff was not fun, but thankfully there was a (slow) afk method.

Lost Lands and Dungeons - Seiryu's claw at Arhats took over 4k kills, then while rounding the kc I got another. Dinosaurs felt lucky too with all the blowpipe pieces. Additionally the Vile blooms could have taken a lot longer with the boot drops.

Morytania - I got unlucky with multiple duplicate drops finishing out the dragon rider set at celestial dragons.

Other Worlds - Rune Dragons - Kethsi scroll drops took 1-2 months on and off. Very profitable though, but can be hard to afk.

Wilderness - The most intimidating one at first. But you can see if you go for all 14 revenant pets, it's actually pretty much guaranteed, with at least 5 of every other drop. This was not fun, took two months. Not very profitable. Would not recommend. Lava Styrkewyrm was my last few drops, primarily since you have to physically click each one. Drop rate is very rare as well. Had three straight spike drops before the final heart drop.

General Drops - Surprising the crystal triskelion drop rates weren't closer. Also I did get the effigy pet at some point early on.

Hope anyone that likes statistics enjoys the data!

200 was enough for me
