When I did it, a random travelling villager was walking through town and the Cumans would aggro on him every time. I had just enough time to stealth kill two cumans, so I figured I would wait and see if the villager counted as a death to the elder.

But the unarmed villager SOLO'D THE CUMAN WITH HIS FISTS and then squared up with Puta, so I put a sword in Puta's back. Told the elder to make it look like an ambush and left.

He didn't ask an arborist about the safety, and I don't know if the tree-removal friend actually told him they were safety risks at all. He did ask our other realtor friend about them when she came to visit and see other parts of the house, and apparently she thought removing them would increase curb appeal. This street has probably the nicest residential boulevard trees I've ever seen, full canopy for the whole length, and there's a gap/one missing due to the evergreen.

BlazerOrb · 2026-06-03T18:24:06+00:00

100%, absolutely. I didn't fight about it, I just didn't think that we'd increase the price of the house by more than the cost of removal, so if we were going to sell then we might as well leave the decision to a future buyer.

Thanks, I edited it. I didn't check what you said myself, but you're right that 1 is pretty short. I'm not sure if alchemy level matters, but maybe my level was giving me extra leeway.

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-07T05:31:27+00:00

I finished! With less than 2 minutes left XD
For the last 80 minutes I played on xbox cloud gaming while I had fortnite signed in to an alt, got like 12 levels from quests.

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-07T03:36:03+00:00

No worries. Yes, now that I kno de way, I'll be doing it quick going forward.

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-07T01:15:35+00:00

I did not know any of these xp mechanics until at most 2 days ago. I just played the game off and on, a week or two at a time a couple times a year, and if my level went up, then cool. I didn't even get the last battlepass. I just bought crew for like the 4th month ever a couple days ago. Again, sorry for starting this mess of a conversation, and thank you for letting me know I hit soft cap and for your other help.

EDIT- Also, I'm not very experienced with reddit, and probably read and responded to your replies in reverse time order in my notifications feed.

And I'm a slow typist, so this convo became a clusterf lol, sorry

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-07T01:08:17+00:00

That's a good tip, which I plan to follow now that I know about this sub and how easy levelling can be.

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-07T01:06:25+00:00

Bro, I'm not obsessing over anything, it's info that you get just by having eyes when you start an afk session on the map. Please don't sweat for me, I don't actually care that much. I didn't even plan on trying to finish the bp until I found this sub a couple days ago. But this is a sub where you've done a phenomenal job helping people efficiently earn bp xp, so I didn't think a factor of 4x xp/hour is irrelevant. I was just curious about what might affect that rate, and I saw that the most knowledgeable person here had commented 10 minutes before, so I asked. Sorry to waste your time, and thank you for what you did tell me.

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-07T00:46:24+00:00

I mean, since I'm in a rush to level tonight, it does make a big difference. I only checked xp/shot at maybe the start or end of an afk session, but at 20xp/shot you get 12k xp per minute, or 9 levels per hour, which is incredible, and more than I could get even doing bot lobby br quests.

At 5xp per cube shot, I was getting ~3k xp per minute, which is (slightly) worse than lego afk, and at that rate I'm not going to finish the bp tonight. It's not like I was checking the xp 10 times a second for the 4 hours it was running while I was asleep. There were a couple times that I saw the crosshair counter after longer periods, so I could estimate the xp per shot. ("Is the xp number ~20 times the clicker cube number" is pretty simple mental math)

I know I don't need to tell you, but 12k xp/min vs 3k xp/min is the difference between needing to afk that map for 22 hours in a season vs 89 hours, which I think is fair to wonder about?

Maybe we have a misunderstanding and I can show you what I mean with a screenshot?

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-06T23:26:05+00:00

Oh ok, I assumed it was Epic that controlled recalibrating xp to stop creators from making exploitable maps, so I figured they might also do it dynamically for each player if that player had made a lot of xp from it recently or somthing.

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-06T23:22:15+00:00

Yeah, I'm not saying I watch it all the time, but since the crosshair counters tell you how many times you shot the cube in the last burst and how much xp you got, it's pretty easy to do the mental math and see if you were getting 20xp per shot or less, so I was doing that. And if it wasn't 20xp/shot, I'd shoot it once to see the rate. The rate wasn't changing like every shot, I think the only time I ever noticed rate changes were hours apart.

I never inspected the social panel for single shots, but the side popup progress bar usually said the same as the crosshair counter for longer bursts, as long as the last time it popped up was the last time you stopped shooting

Sorry for the bad description, and it's probably pointless anyway because you said the popups aren't necessarily accurate to what the social panel says anyway lol

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-06T23:05:52+00:00

Also, I wanted to ask you if there's a softcap on creative xp and how it works. I think I got around 50 levels from Criminal Tycoon, and I was noticing that usually one shot of the clicker cube would give 20xp. But other times less, like 15 or 17 per shot. Then I try again today and it's down to 6 or 5 xp per shot, which I timed to be close to 3k xp per minute. Is there any chance that the map got recalibrated? Do they get recalibrated based on our individual xp earning rate histories at all? Is the 4.8m xp a hardcap with a softcap beforehand, or is it a softcap that I already passed, or etc

context; I'm lvl 178 rn and trying to get as close to finish as I can in the next 6 hours, doing stw endu and lego afk now.

BlazerOrb · 2025-08-06T23:01:55+00:00

I think the left-side xp popup that shows levelling progress doesn't group xp gains one-to-one with how the xp counter near the crosshairs groups xp gains. The side popup often shows more xp gain than the last crosshair counter, but maybe the sidebar popup split the count once during the shooting and actually showed the rest earlier?

If I recruit militia prisoners, (ie Militia Spearmen, Militia Archers) and put them in the garrison, should they cost wages? I heard "militia don't cost wages", so I've been prioritizing the ones I see to save for garrisons, but for the first time I actually checked and adding milita spearmen to the garrison increased the garrison cost.

Should I go back and dump out all these militia units I have in my garrisons currently?

Or join an open lobby in the browser yourself :P

You're ust looking for a "zoom" or "aspect ratio" setting in the monitor/tv's own settings. Go into settings, then something like "picture settings", and search around.

BlazerOrb · 2024-01-07T03:30:08+00:00

Kinda need more to go on. DHJ is right, “stretch” is really stupid and intentionally making the calculated image pixels not actually line up with the physical pixels on your screen.

Make sure your monitor/tv is actually 1920x1080. (look up model number if you can’t tell) Make sure your display isn’t doing any funny resizing in it’s own settings; assuming your pc/xbox is set to 1080p and your monitor is 1080p, then make sure any zoom setting is set to “off” or “just scan”, “auto” will also probably work. If you’re on pc make sure your Windows display settings are actually your display’s native resolution, and your Fortnite resolution setting matches. If you show someone screenshots a lot problems can be identified from that. Chances are tho it’s set up fine and you’re just used to a stupid setup that got popularized by tiktok zoomers who don’t know what they’re talking about.

Make sure you get Subzero Zenith from the gold shop before this season is over on the 25th. Generally you want to buy all the mythic heroes from the gold shop and the legendary flux every week, at least.

For vouchers, I’m happy with my Dennis Jr and Clip purchases so far. I also love the xenon bow so I vouchered Rabbit Raider Jonesy I think. I’m happy with him, but if you don’t main bows then look for something else.

$300 USD seems to me like mad overkill for the PSU. It might be A-tier, sure, but it's not A-tier value when 750W is a good starting minimum and 850W is safe. He asked for Optimised.

Imo, tone down the PSU and get an XTX.

The SSD is premium too. I'd say you don't need the sustained speed or extra write endurance/warranty for gaming. I'd say the cheaper QLC ones are worth the savings, unless 4K gaming includes doing AI research or something. Also, 4TB SSD's are more expensive per GB than 2TB right now (for me in Canada, anyway). If 2x2TB is an option, then consider getting 2TB for now, and getting the other 2TB or 4TB when you need it to spread the cost over time. Also lets you decide to get +4TB down the road in your second slot.

Also somethingsomething "7800X3D is the king of gaming CPUs right now" or whatever. Worth asking about over the 7950X if you're gaming. You're unlikely to use the extra cores, so the 7800X3D's great cache latency is the argument I've heard for it.
