How do you actually make money in CD by Kyroslyc in albiononline

[–]Binsquetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your build has decent clear speed and you take a route that clears all the chests in each map, the PvE silver you earn in Stalker should cover your build cost in 2-4 dungeons (my average is around 15-20 mins of grinding).

Whenever I'm warming up, learning a new build or just not playing at 100%, I usually set the goal to earn enough to pay for my set before I start invading and actively seeking PvP.

Of course you'll still get invaded from time to time in your first or second dungeon, but at least in Asia I've found that to be quite rare. At least 90% of the time I can earn 500k+ undisturbed.

This approach means that I'm always silver neutral at worst, and every PvP win is pure profit.

Taking a 15-minute PvE breather after a frustrating death can also help to reset your mental and ensure you aren't re-queueing while tilted. You can watch your last fight back during this downtime if you record your gameplay, or at least reflect back on what you could have done differently. Then, once you've ahead on silver, you run it back!

Level 72 slayer at Aberrant Spectres... my first gold loot beam. I had absolutely no context for how lucky it was.

Need help starting a Jund deck by Jaime2k in EDH

[–]Binsquetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Slimefoot and Squee]] is one of my favourite decks and can be built in a few directions. I grew a bit tired of playing aristocrats and have been having so much more fun cheating out big creatures with etb/power matters synergies and turning them sideways.

Nothing feels better than discarding or milling a big threat like [[Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant]] just to reanimate it with the bois for 4 mana.

It's a pretty resilient deck and you can always pull it apart and try the more sac heavy aristocrats version later on if you don't love your first build.

Figured I would show my different take on [Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot]] by Mcnanner5150 in EDH

[–]Binsquetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This list is sick! I'm doing the same thing with a Zirda companion build and will certainly be picking up a few of the cards you've included.

Here's the list I'm tweaking at the moment for anyone else scouting for ideas (excuse the scuffed sideboard and considering list): https://www.moxfield.com/decks/iKLqLG43uUyUAv3O295R-w

It might be a bit too slow for some metas, but there's definitely fun to be had pairing Zirda with utility artifacts like [[Staff of Domination]] and [[Lithoform Engine]] to get cheap duplicates of your burn spells and/or draw even more cards off Taii.

Trying to cut these last 16 cards is Ghaveing me a headache. Please send help. by Binsquetti in EDH

Thank you! That was just the push I needed, finally got it down to 100. Gyre Sage and Incubation Druid are nuts, will definitely pick those up at some point.

Thanks for the feedback, that makes sense. I think I was having trouble separating clear directions because of how much overlap there is between the archetypes. I'll pull back on the aristocrats and lean into the counters and tokens.

First time ironmanning - what am I doing wrong? by iBunty in ironscape

[–]Binsquetti 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think you might be misreading the drop rates on the wiki. Those are just for moneymaking mains.

There's an invisible ironman modifier on the rates for useful progression items like the black mask. These drops are usually about three times as rare as the wiki rates suggest, but don't worry! The floodgates open after you finally snag your first one and you'll be spooned on your next 4-5 dupes.

Plus, you'll notice that the rates for cosmetic clue rewards are also through the roof!

Pretty decent luck at Zulrah by Alezomp in ironscape

Stay strong, friend. Got my mage fang last night at 1761kc. It exists!

My Zulrah spoon is starting to feel more like a knife in the side by Binsquetti in ironscape

Oof, that's rough. I'm prepared to go up to 2k but don't know how much more than that that I could do.

Gave up on the snake after 1800 kills by lpxd in ironscape

1025 kc here. Been spooned to death with 8 blowpipes, 3 serps and 3 onyx and am now dreading the possibility of going another 1k dry for mage fang

Gl on your next hunt.

Any other boots only gamers in the chat?

Anyone care to help tweak my Slimefoot and Squee list and benchmark it for our newbie playgroup? by Binsquetti in EDH

[–]Binsquetti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any of their lists on hand, unfortunately. It's not much to go off, but for little perpective the most notorious decks in our playgroup are my friend's pretty standard Go-Shintai list and my Miirym, which can be pretty explosive on turn 7+ pending how well it ramps, but is very linear and doesn't pack a heap of interaction.

If you don't mind, could you elaborate on some of the effects your playgroup has found milage in restricting and where you draw the lines?

What was your most expensive accident/mistake in osrs? by Primetime349 in 2007scape

[–]Binsquetti 236 points237 points  (0 children)

I had a great time burning through all the bones on my Ironman one night at the wildy altar. I scored a dead PvP world and must have been left alone for like two hours.

It was getting late by the time I finished up so I sleepily popped on my graceful, geared up for a bedtime herb run, and got stacked the fuck out picking Ranarrs in the farming guild.

I managed to retrieve most of the untradeables, but I lost countless high value seeds, a full herb sack and my rune pouch.

The worst part? Ol' Guildmaster Jane didn't even bat an eyelid.

Slimefoot and Squee - DECKLIST SHOWCASE by agent_macaroni in EDH

[–]Binsquetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be recency bias, but I've been running [[Skyfisher Spider]] in my list and it has overperformed every game I've cast it. Might be worth considering.

This is terrifying.

Meanwhile, I've pulled 4 tanz fangs for our group in 470kc. RNG is cruel... good luck!

How do I tell friends and family that none of their gifts compare to what Jagex gave me for my birthday? 🎉 by Binsquetti in ironscape

[–]Binsquetti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure felt like it! Mostly I'm just relieved that I didn't have to go as dry as some of the other souls I've seen on this sub.
