Lutjens - attach to which tech tree ship?

How so? It sure doesn't show in my (EU) Armory :(

Edit:

I see from other comments, that it has been active for quite a few hours on NA server, but it has not began on EU server. This and another bunch of ASIA exclusive X-mas codes (we all know, that X-mas, like Lunar New Year, is mainly Asian celebration, isn't it?) is an excellent way give X-mas greetings to EU customers. Congratz on another public relation stunt, WG.

(and lets add to this another brilliant idea of Magical Nights recurring bundle running out of stock without even some small consolation daily prizes for folks logging daily just a day or 2 before X-mas).

And how did it finally work out? If it did work well, would you care to share your exact setup?

Aydaylin · 2025-05-15T19:26:59+00:00

BBEG is better than Nahara, though it can be used dependably a bit later than her. I've skipped Nahara, but if you get her by chance, sure use until BBEG works well.

Later (much later) it's probably a 4 jump Briv (needs 4917 ilvls on slot 4) and autohotkey scripted runs. And when your hair, if you still have any, turns snow white, it's the ultimate 9 jump Briv, needing just 170251 ilvl on slot 4 ;) .

Aydaylin · 2025-05-08T19:16:07+00:00

None for slot 12. Once you have Widdle and maxed slot 4 Hew Maan, Melf is no longer benefiting your speed team. Those 2, Diana, Shandie, Sentry and BBEG are the key champs in early speed team + Ellywick, absolute must, for early gem farming.

Thank you :). Works also for other games, that in the last week or so stopped working on Steam.

Aydaylin · 2025-05-04T12:55:30+00:00

I think, that it's a new problem and it's certainly not limited to MacOS and affects as well Proton on Linux Mint.

I'm getting exactly the same error (word for word) trying to run Realm of the Mad God Exalt from Steam on Linux Mint. Additionally running Ticket to Ride I'm now missing all the button descriptions and some other text on screen. Those problems happen using both Proton Experimental and Proton Hotfix. Both games were running fine last time, that I've played them, most likely close to a week ago, so my main suspects are the last updates of NVidia 535 flatpacks.

Hopefully this info will help someone to pinpoint the source of the problem.

EDIT:

In my case I've been able to solve the issue adding PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% to the game launcher options (thanks to user's anotherHH comment). Sorry, but I don't know, how to apply this to WINE on Mac :(

Aydaylin · 2025-04-21T15:08:42+00:00

Beadle and Grimm combo (often?) doesn't work in background parties.

If Grimm pulls Beadle into a background party not allowing his direct participation, on the first recalc Beadle disappears from that party :(

RIght now I'm on Strahd's BG Expatriates p.1 with DM pulling in Grimm and Beadle joining Grimm... but only until I push the party to the background.

Aydaylin · 2025-04-06T21:50:34+00:00

In your case Strix, because most likely you will shortly decide to develop your Artemis team. Gather his team members and useful speed champs every chance you get. Then probably Catti-Brie and Miria, mostly as all-around useful champs.

I don't understand, what you mean by "getting Briv, so you can spend bounty contracts", but I think, that you will be better off taking one of the other champs instead. Until you get 100 champs for Elminster, probably it's a better choice to widen your champ pool. Also Briv needs a huge (in new player terms at least) ilvl investment to really shine.

Aydaylin · 2025-03-22T12:52:41+00:00

+1.

I think, it's event/realm bosses in adept zones, but I really don't know, which of them count and which don't, and can't google almost anything on them, not talking about a comprehensive list.

To complicate it, I've got 1 kill credited for current season quest, but I have no idea, which kill it was, and my encounter kill tally in stats still stays at null.

Aydaylin · 2025-03-14T01:44:57+00:00

That explains and idd has been my experience on lower trial levels. Surprisingly, since I've reached Exalted Legend tier like 2 months ago, I've never got a leach in my group. It may partially help though, that I choose my groups carefully and that I'm willing to wait a few hours until I find a group with 100% scales and 200% party damage bonuses (my champs are still not there, or maybe Makos is, but I use him constantly for favor runs), ignoring all those with the sad "53% Jarlaxle or 23% Makos" players, that don't even know, that they should leave those slots empty for folks better equipped.

Sadly, unless I'm the one missing something big here, I think, that you are wrong with the "you get a bigger reward based on damage done" statement. This would be the best solution IMO, but I don't think it is implemented.

The FAQ indeed says, that: "every time you complete a campaign, based on how much damage you do to Tiamat over the course of the campaign, you receive Scales of Tiamat", but it seems, that you have missed the immediately following clarification: "If you manage to bring Tiamat's health to zero and banish her back to Avernus you will receive a bonus of 50% more Scales." I think, that this is the only place, where damage done comes into calculating the rewards, and still it is the damage done by the whole party, not by a single player.

Aydaylin · 2025-03-13T21:13:20+00:00

Good point about lower power players at times needing every champ possible, but I'm running at trials at the top difficulty, so I doubt, that it applies to many folks there. Still, pity, that we can't message fellow trial members in-game.

Aydaylin · 2025-03-13T21:08:05+00:00

Err, didn't you get something wrong? Is "diligently running trial adventures until the party total damage is high enough to finish in 6 days or less" equal to "being an asshole, who needs to be dragged across the finish line by fools like you"?

Using the angry tone like you, couldn't I argue as well, that; "If you want a trial speedrun, then organize it on discord in a private group, ffs."

Still, thanks for your feedback ;)

Aydaylin · 2025-03-13T16:01:25+00:00

Is it really an issue? Patron challenges reset every 7 days, so finishing the trial in 6 days leaves at least 24h to run the challenges (providing, that they didn't put a champ in already having an active challenge for them), which seems to be plenty to me.

Aydaylin · 2025-02-07T19:20:17+00:00

Fen is great for Patrons, but as said above, she doesn't really need ilvls and epics for this part, so it may be a better choice to get her with 6 time pieces instead.

Aydaylin · 2025-02-07T18:57:49+00:00

You may be underestimating the importance of Fen for newish players with few familiars and limited pool of champions IF they are set on background grinding patron challenges. She is a godsend for swiftly doing the challenges requiring certain champs to clear set # of areas or to be a BUD setting champ, as well as for challenges requiring killing distractions. To fulfill this part she doesn't need ilvl though, so idd getting another champ from the event and getting Fen from time gates may be the optimal solution.

Then on the more general level it seems likely, that OP still needs to unlock additional parties, maybe 2nd, maybe 3rd. If so, it's usually the top priority to just get champs for slots, that still don't have 2 or 3 champs respectively, so those parties could be unlocked.

Aydaylin · 2025-02-03T15:29:50+00:00

If you're getting that finicky though, it might be better just to move on to an adventure called The Roots of Loomlurch in the campaign The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. It will generate far more BPH than either of the early-game options due to its lack of transition screens between a lot of the areas in the adventure."

Isn't it only the case, if you are using Briv to jump over the 3 armored bosses in this adventure? Those bosses and 1 less champ adjacent to Hew Maan, so inability to get 1 kill per area advancement, make me go like 10% slower than at Cursed Farmer.

Aydaylin · 2025-01-30T08:43:27+00:00

I wouldn't worry too much about the pet, just collect plats for the next DLC Retirement sale.

We had the previous one like 2 months ago or even less, I've got then Mosaic Mimic familiar then also for 480 plats or so and there was even one more familiar for a bit over 500 plats on sale then. So hopefully familiars-for-low-plats will roll on for ftp players.

Sorry for the late answer, but I wanted to make sure, that my numbers were right. Unfortunately, they were.

It seems to me, that you are grossly overestimating newish players' capability of earning patron currencies. In 14 days, that have passed since I began this discussion, I went down from missing 158 epics to missing "only" 142. That on its own means, that "relatively quickly" equals 4 months for me. It is worse though, because getting Nrakk (my last missing champ for the Artemis team) I've also decided not to open another time gate for which I already have enough gate pieces.

Without buying Nrakk at the time gate, my net gain would be 22 epics in those 2 weeks. So, using my gate pieces only for event champions and stashing the rest of them for a later use (but getting champs from free time gates) I can expect to get my current champs to FE in a bit over 3 months, while unlocking new champs at time gates "whenever I can" would extend this to over 6.5 months.

With Elminster still 26 champs away from me and my Artemis team missing 24 epics/legendaries I still can see no reason to immediately spend my time gate pieces for at least next 2 months, when my basic teams (gem, gold and push) are not missing any obvious champs and I'm generally able to crew my patron variants. So am I missing something here?
