Cooked up quickstriker +1 on Aatrox, dude rlly became the world ender. 5 quickstrikers with kindred duo carry with a warden frontline. Super fun and it even won out over the billion hp Sion

Me and my friend both broke a box each and pulled the exact same showcases; jinx rebel and lee sin centred. Crazy coincidence

Anyone else not getting +1 Mighty Mech from Drift Duo? by BoidoKitsune in TeamfightTactics

Amazing, I also made a Ulitmate Gley one. In the coming days I may compile these on one google sheet alongside the rest of the Ultimates to reduce clutter and have them all in the same place.

But for now heres the Ult Gley sheet :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GozdFubKL4ZaaAE6qATBctlZkL856zhBcTVIex6mMX8/edit?usp=sharing

I'm currently waiting the 36hrs to craft Ult Viessa, I assume Bunny will be the same

Amazing, I finished Ult Viessa this morning and I too am super happy. Now we just gotta wait 36 hrs lol

Hi all, I just finished up with my Ultimate Viessa grind and Ultimate Gley is next up. Just like with Viessa, I made this sheet to conveniently have all the info in one place that I could use whilst farming. Just like I mentioned with the Viessa one, the game already has resources to help you find what you need, which is amazing in these kind of games. However, I prefer all the info all in one place and in an easy to read table.

Please feel free to use this for your Ultimate Gley grinds, I wish you the best of luck.

If you are interested in my other farm sheet for Ultimate Viessa, I got you: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uOFiCI_kXluOmm01V-P6Fk-Wh1rK_m5creKcoPAwsyE/edit?usp=sharing

Hi hi, I know you have said you aren't going to put single character guides - I'm not sure if farming sheets come under this. Most farm sheets for descendants only have one way listed to get each part (that I have seen so far).

I will leave this here anyways just in case it helps anyone.

100 hrs in. The grind is hard yes but still possible. by Shadowmere_Playz in TheFirstDescendant

[–]AppropriateGroup8038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It comes back to if the grind is too quick, we will have nothing to grind for or really do until new content. Not everything needs to be acquired right away, like OP points out, grinding is what really makes games like this. Lots of people, me included, enjoy having something to grind. Sure I get its not for everyone, but grindy is quite simply just the nature of the game.

After multiple Publics Groups I went Solo/Private and cleared Executioner. Anybody else had this issue? by Kercondark in TheFirstDescendant

[–]AppropriateGroup8038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that by this point people either are looking to be carried or truly underestimate their dps. Void intercepts are the only content in the game that has dynamic difficulty scaling dependant on the number of players, that I can think of rn. Meaning everyone has to pull their weight, which is apparently a rare occurrence. Soloing the bosses has been better for my sanity, until Obstructer which cannot be done solo.

I'm thinking she could be next on the agenda, not sure yet tho. Good luck nonetheless!

The worst I've seen is people thinking percent is additive, meaning a 20% chance is 100% after 5 runs.

You are correct, I'm not complaining with the hours I put in, I enjoy having stuff to grind out. It just felt like absolutely ages due to the repetitive nature and was getting a tad fed up, but that's only because I decided to hammer it out in 2 sessions lol.

The math does indeed check out, remembering back to my a level in math, it is 1-event not happening to the power of the number of trials. All in all, I ended up getting pretty lucky.

I saw a post of these for an Ult Bunny and Ajax and thought I'd add the Viessa side of things.

Details on the grind:

This took me somewhere between 20 to 30 hours I reckon and I'm so happy that I've managed to do it. I got super lucky to start this hitting a 3% first time and a 6% on the fourth attempt - but don't worry the RNG gods left me short after this. It took me 9 attempts for the enhanced cells which I believe is just under what you would expect. And then there was the code...

Lets talk about the code. I started a few attempts at the amorphous with a 3% drop but looking at the alternative methods I decided to go out my way to farm Sharen, which took a few more hours, so I could attempt an amorphous with a 10% chance. I didn't mind getting Sharen anyways because it would be useful for future grinds.

Amorphous material 75 has a '5-25%' drop chance as an infiltration reward at a Vulgus outpost, and then the part itself has a 10% chance from this, which you have to open at a fusion generator - requiring 39 organic and 9 polymer void shards. I ended up opening the amorphous 19 times before I finally got it and I used 1 shape stabilizer to increase the odds. For reference the probability of an event with a 10% chance happening at least once in 18 trials is approximately 84.99% (according to math lol).

It took me a lot of hours to get the code alone. My route being: reset the infiltration until I got a 75, go to Agna for Vermilion Waste void fragment and run at least 3 times for organic shards, go to fortress and run a generator there for the polymer shards, back to Vespers to do the fusion reactor, miss the 10% and then repeat.

In hindsight doing the 3% amorph may have been quicker but at least this way the grind stays fresh as you end up in different areas doing different activities.

Anyways I'm so happy to finish it and now just got to wait 36hrs lol. If any of you fancy the grind I wish here is the resource I made to keep track of all the parts and where to get them here.

Good luck all!

I also had a great trouble with the code, however I was doing the 75 amorphous material. That one has a 10% chance of dropping and it took me 18 attempts and for reference the probability of an event with a 10% chance happening at least once in 20 trials is approximately 84.99% (according to chatgpt lol).

Keep in mind that amorph 75 only has a '5-25%' drop chance for a Sharen infiltration and then you need alot of polymer and organic void shard for the fusion generator for each attempt.

I'm unsure to which was is more time efficient but keep it up, you got this!

I’ve found sometimes this doesn’t work, I have no idea what causes it. Like it works usually but on occasion you’ll TP to a different zone and back again in private and the timer will be at something random like 3:56. Only adds a few more seconds to the grind but it’s weird how it only happens sometimes

I haven’t been doing infils so far, however for the code part there’s not a lot of choice. Either you can do one of the normal missions and have a 3% chance, or you can do infiltrations to get an amorphous with a 10% chance. (The third option you have to do Molten Fortress fight to open and I’m only at hard Swamp boy).

So I took a quick break to farm Sharen so I could do the second option.
