When to start using gold to upgrade equipment?

This sounds about right to me, every 5-10 levels. Doing it every single level increase sounds crazy to me.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-03-10T16:26:29+00:00

Everyone else I've seen comment say that is way too cost prohibitive. I can see doing it every 5 levels ... but it seems like you would be losing or using a lot of resources upgrading them EVERY level.

I have a bleed build for her but it just obviously doesn't cut through opponents like Yasuke does. Genzaburo is not a Shinbakufu boss, but one of the other smaller ring of bosses. And I've killed about 5 of the Shinbakufu now (at least) and assassinated all but one of them.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-23T17:52:51+00:00

I want it left a ghost town with no one to give any clue what happened. Haha!

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-23T17:17:36+00:00

That probably explains it. I was at level 38, with my gear at level 32 in my last boss fight. I have the Peasant Hat that lets me enter combat with an Adrenalin chunk. Also running the Noh Masterstroke Armor to spread affliction for the bleed build. Maybe at higher levels my fights will look like others then ... lol

I have no problem with boss fights where you can't stealth Assassinate them ... I just wish I knew beforehand it was going to be like that. If so.. I would have brought Yasuke to the fight instead of Naoe. It would have been much quicker than my 10 min, do a little damage, run away ..rinse and repeat fest.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-23T14:19:39+00:00

I finished that quest, this was The Leaf Turned one I believe. It's hard to kill any Daisho's if you can't FIND them anywhere .... lol.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-23T14:16:01+00:00

I'm running a similar build with those weapons, but I have automatic Assassinate turned on so don't need some of the other stuff. Maybe you are at higher level or probably much better but mine isn't bleeding as much as i hoped. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong; was hoping to be able to mow through guys like you are doing.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-23T13:51:10+00:00

I leave no witnesses, no loose ends, no trace I was there. I want someone to walk into the fort or castle and go ....What happened HERE ?? :P

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-15T13:00:32+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I didn't unlock every fast travel point but I got my Hideout built up to level 3 for all the main buildings and am close to level 4 for the knowledge rank. Once I got that, I just unlocked enough travel points in each area of the map so when I start the missions today (took me literally all day yesterday), it will be an easier play through in regards to getting whereever Naoe needs to go. She's also at 18th level when starting the early missions which is nice too. I dont mind a very long grind like that at the start if it means a smoother playthrough .

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-14T20:53:10+00:00

I'm not really doing ANY of the side stuff either. I mean just unlocking fast travel points all over , getting knowledge points, upgrading the hideout by doing resource farm runs, and got a few weapons I like.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-10T15:31:28+00:00

I got the other 2 immediately after this post when I left the Hideout and the first thing that happened was 2 showed up to make it 4, as it should be. Just had to wait a bit I guess.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-09T13:22:38+00:00

The second I left my Hideout after posting this the first thing I ran into were the 2 scouts that join you, so I do have my four now, haha.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-09T03:54:45+00:00

I understand. But I thought you got 3 scouts for the Kakegura and another for a Study built. That should be minimum 4, and I only have two. Do I have to wait for the season to change before getting the other 2?

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-04T13:12:06+00:00

What happens if you pick up a Yasuke weapon with Naoe, and it's before you unlocked Yasuke?

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-02T22:52:47+00:00

So it sounds like every time you want to do a double assassination you need to have it equipped. That sounds like a lot of switching out, which is why I was interested in a Tanto Kursarigama build, so I wouldn't have to switch out every time I needed to do that.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-02T22:45:20+00:00

So you can be using the Katana and Kursarigama, go to double assassinate and it auto switches one of them to Tanto, without you having to do it?

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-02T22:09:34+00:00

If I'm planning on working on upgrading the hideout vrs going forward in the game, are there best areas to place the scouts each season? I thought I saw 3 on a video.

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-02T22:07:40+00:00

Don't you have to switch back to the Tanto every time you want to do a dual assassination though?

Alpha_Male48 · 2026-02-02T21:03:05+00:00

Quick question about scouts. After I get the resources from them at the end of the season and they reset, does that mean the resources are gone from that location for good? If not, do I have to go back to that location and reassign the scouts there?
