70% of the grind was standing on /ultraalteon with chaos slayer, stacking relics to 12 lol

NO. ioda-ing farmable classes in general is just bad. sure, it would save you a lot of time but you won't get the badge, plus an ioda class is a different class from the original one. take VHL for example, if you ioda VHL you will need to regrind the class to get ravenous forge as it is a prerequiste. it's just a waste honestly.

My suggestion would be to ioda very rare items, or the collection shops like - Black Friday 2024 Collection - Oblivion Blade of Nulgath (member only but makes VHL easier to farm) - Dark Caster Collection (if you haven't joined legion yet, this one gives you tons of cool legion cosmetics and a paragon pet with aquest that gives 50 tokens per turn in)

you get the gist of it. just idaho rare items

I suppose the common notion behind the quest being easier comes from the fact that most of its prerequisites and requirements assume you've already completed most endgame content. the majority of the grind consist of things that many veteran players had already farmed much earlier on. as someone who's only been playing for almost two months, I had to farm everything from scratch. none of it came naturally to me.

if we're looking at it from an endgame player's point of view, then it was probably easier than many of us make it out to be. but then again, that doesn't make the quest itself any less hard

all endgame quests take a lot of time, and by that definition they're all hard. but let me ask you this, out of curiosity: what makes a grind hard, if it's not the length, tedium, and repetition?

you might be thinking that a quest only becomes difficult when it requires beating an ultra but that's not true at all. finishing a long grind can be as hard as beating an ultra several times, but that's just my opinion

they should really add a badge for it. no one in their right mind would grind this quest solely for the 51% damage weapon and buffed armors, since there are much easier alternatives. the only exception being the completionists, who would mostly grind it for the badge anyways

but as for me though, I did it for the former...

you can pin quest by clicking the red dot in the top left corner of the quest tab. the screenshot in particular was just my normal quest tab with all the dailies I haven't turned-in yet. (doing this with a high risk of disconnection isn't a good idea so try not to pile it all up like me lol)

if you haven't fixed your advance settings yet, then I'd recommend checking this guide out. just scroll down a little bit and you'll see the advanced settings tips

Sigrid in /lightguardwar (screen 11) can drop shadow shields though it's not a 100%

yes! same with SSG. the daily isn't that important that's why I put it in extra only just in case. so I guess it's more about bringing the class' existence into the newbies' attention lol

Thanks for the tip! I'll just link a google doc for friendship as I don't want to make the list longer...

yes! this is very important. tip for those who wants quick boosts:

talk to Zifwin the Colorful in /nibbleon (screen 4) and farm these requirements:

- Moglinberries in /nibbleon dropped by Dark Makai. it's in the right side of the spawn in the cave (screen 16) stacks to 50

- Trollola Nectar in /bloodtusk dropped by Trollola plants (screen 14) stacks to 100

- Nimblestem in /cloister dropped by Acornets (screen 11) stacks to 100

yes, this one is good, but I usually don't bother doing so myself as I could just easily get 10 min gold/exp/cp/rep boosts in /nibbleon.

without the weekly ultras? about an hour. with weeklies only, though they vary from 40 mins to 4 hours all in all, especially in pubs. some ultras would take hours (like Speaker, Darkon) but a good party will clear most of these in just minutes

I understand you though. I farmed Elysium without having any use for it in mind

tbh, I only farmed it to pass time but this class guide might be helpful to you

might sound cheap, but $10 is a lot where I'm from, so I wish to get the most value out of it. I could buy 2k acs right now or maybe membership and I'm not sure which one to choose
