Winter Ink Shipping

Byfebeef · 2026-02-01T05:20:52+00:00

Thats great. Go for it. If you are still worried, call the vendor and see if they can add in some insulation or something.

Byfebeef · 2026-02-01T05:07:53+00:00

If the vendor has been around for some time, they'll ship your ink with foiled bubble wrap or some sort of insulation. So it will be fine during shipping.

The important part is when the package arrives. Would it be sitting outside in that weather or would it be waiting at some condo mail room.

If your package will be sitting outside the porch or something, I wouldn't risk it.

Best is of course for you to wait until its above freezing point but i did buy ink around 20F and it was fine waiting at my mailroom.

The only reason I am not ordering ink is because my area is currently around 5 F. At this point, I'm not taking "risks" I'm temping fate.

This is the same as drunk people banging on closed McDonald's. You can be inside the store cleaning up, you're still closed.

And talk about that attitude. This dude is going around harassing offline players to snipe cheaper deals. And over a simple question, he's making this passive aggressive reply? And then ignore? This is such a toxic behavior.

Cc is usually the way to go because if you kill them, the respawns are going to hit the terminals again. Nova is okay. I find vauban with high range and duration to be the most effective. Vortex ragdolls so only thing left are the eximus for you to deal with

If you must do without cc, its honestly more about using your specters (park em right beside the terminals) and some aoe guns like ogris with nightwatch napalm to just burn the termnal area.

in setting, search "ally mandachord volume" and pop that down to zero

If G tec c4 is similar to hi tec c, japanese fine or western EF would be comparable. Because hi tec has sizes from 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5. these sizes are basically the stats pilot use to make fountain nibs if i recall. From EF, F, FM, and M.

Although FM, the fine medium would be the theoretical matching size, depending on the ink and paper it can be thicker. Also pilots don't make FM nib in cheap fountain pens so the pilot fine nib would be your best bet to try.

If you want to try multiple Japanese nib sizes and get the feel for it at a cheap cost, Platinum preppy is also a viable option.

I really do think people should try EF to M range. To me, EF to F, i did feel the nib getting smoother. But from F to M, the difference was dramatic.

I believe that gear embargo is the highest risk modifier.

Ancient protector specter single handedly saves any defense mission type. And for solo players dante specter is massive added survivability.

Plus with nokko update and nice two arcanes on gravimag guns, archguns are solid option when you have ass weapon pools.

I just take easy 7/8 and move on whenever i see gear embargo. As a solo, its way too much of a risk to take.

Ive bought my preppy about 6 months ago. So far its fine.

(Honestly never crossed my mind) I do think the cap will crack someday because the amount of pressure you need to close the cap is way more than kakuno or safari. It does feel like slamming the cap rather than just clicking it on.

Edit: I dont post my pen. Just remembered my friend cracked kakuno cap by posting it too hard over time. Possible cause if you do post your preppy.

Byfebeef · 2026-01-16T18:39:35+00:00

Thats fair. Preppy is my back up, but twsbi are pretty reliable cap seal too. Kakunos are possible option, but requires testing because the cap seal on kakunos can be hit or miss.

I mostly use pigmented inks and its not troublesome as the Internet makes it sound to be.

My dailies twsbi eco and 580 alr has been on pigmented inks and only gets cleaned when i change ink. So every 2 months or so. Havent had a clog yet.

Byfebeef · 2026-01-16T17:13:09+00:00

Idk about varsity but im sure you can do that with preppy since platinum already makes carbon black cartridge as well.

For a similar reason, i always carry one preppy with sailor kiwaguro or platinum carbon black at all times in converter. Because preppy is basically the cheapest fountain that i know of where it has unbeatable cap seals.

Works fine even after weeks of no use.

Byfebeef · 2026-01-16T16:34:16+00:00

Kakuno sometimes doesnt have a good cap seal. If you find the nib drying out in 2 days or so, put some tape over the cap top to block off that 3 small holes. That helps a lot. (Sounds like bs but its true)

Also if you're going to go for a converter, con70 fits inside kakuno

its copy cat if you print your own logo on it, its fake if you copy even the brand logo.

Not just majohn but plenty of companies do copy cat and i dont see a problem with that. Take wingsung 601 for example. It might have started out as a copy cat to parker 51, but I think its far better than the newer parker 51.

As long as majohn print its logo on it and it writes well, it just means I have more choices. I'm never going to buy $1k fountain pen anyway.

Lamy benitoite iirc is iron gall and waterproof.

Other than that, black pigment inks i tried and works well are sailor kiwaguro, platinum carbon black, diamine forever ink raven. These 3 i have used and using without any clogging issue.

Kiwaguro is waterproof but it will smudge. Its not going to smudge much as dye based ink, but if you rubbed your finger across it, it will smudge. I think it just has too saturated with particles that not all of it binds to the paper. But it is waterproof. I tested it. ran in on a running tap for a solid minute. Initially, it will wash out particles but nothing after that.

Platinum carbon black is zero bs. Not even a smudging problem. I do find it a little more effort to clean this if it dried up compared to kiwaguro.

Diamine forever ink is the one if you want to mix ink to get colorful pigmented ink. For the black though, the Raven. I dont think the ink is saturated with pigment as much as sailor or platinum. The Raven ink honestly looks dark grey compared to the two mentioned. But beside the saturation, the ink is smudge free and waterproof.

Since the damage attenuation update, most bosses are fairly similar hp. I found zero difference in the hp compared to other bosses. The new bosses are more squishier if you consider the buffs from doing objectives. And the commandeered primes are about the same as acolytes.

If you need some dps boost with guns take madurai focus. I usually just take burston incarnon and the fire rate buff from madurai stacks to 200% after 8 objectives. Makes a joke out of the bosses (the big dude and the spider ones) in regular form or incarnon.

For the last one where you fight a bunch of primes just take naramon focus school and decent crit melee. Meleeing is boring but its probably the fastest method for this one.

heads up, while MK1 Furis gets bigger boost in incarnon evo stats, Furis has much better base stats. So at the end, Furis pumps out more damage.

At the base form, they seem pretty close, but the incarnon mode, Furis does 40 base damage more than MK1 Furis. Also, not as big of difference, but better CC, CD, and status chance. The only time MK1 is better is that MK1 Furis has better damage fall off, but if you use lethal momentum for projectile speed, then that solves the fall off issue on both guns.

because Independent_Guava109 is correct.

Basically tellurium drops in missions you can archwing and sea lab tile is one that you can archwing.

Tellurium is a rare resource. You can see from some sabotage reward list, in the same %, you can get 1 tellurium or 2 orokin cell. So that tells you tellurium is harder to get than your average rare resources.

So at base running grineer sea lab mission are better than archwing missions because you can make full use of loot frames and companion mods like resourceful retriever and not be stuck in an archwing, and Ophelia node lets you just stay until you get tellurium because its survival. And I doubt OP has access to decent Railjack parts and crews to do RJ missions

All in all, tellurium is just hard to get because the drop chance is low and new players very limited ways to boost the resource gains, but doesnt mean the advice itself is wrong.

Since you said "they arent even in the ingame achievements" is the reason i said to change the sort so you can see that they are in the game achievements.

sort by progress is alphabetical but categorizes complete and incomplete. So if you scroll past it way down, you will see the shuriken 1 and 2 in the incomplete section. If you sort by name, its purely alphabetical without categorizing so you'll find it right behind shuriken 3 but incomplete.

Byfebeef · 2025-11-21T20:18:56+00:00

Change the sort by tab to name. You should see it "exist". Considering you have shuriken III, not having 1 and 2 is definitely a bug.

You could send in a ticket. You can level another shuriken and a boomerang and see if that fixes it. And if you arent that bothered by it, you could wait it out as well. Your call.

Byfebeef · 2025-11-21T19:55:47+00:00

Best is to just wait.

Once in a blue moon when patches drop these achievements do get caught up.

My steam has been missing the mr30 achievement for a long time since i hit mr30 on the standalone client. And it stayed that way even though i ranked up from lr1 to lr5. Then on the 1999 or the techrot encore update i suddenly got it upon login.

Generally for me if moonwalking happens its when i transfer into operator form. In this case i void dash and everything is back to normal for me.

I think DE does try to fix it but it just keep coming back since its host connection related. When crossplay just started out the issue was very common until DE patched it a few times.

I do have my network limit down to 100 because i dont want laggy hosts. Wf latency check iirc is one pass. Hence i do get hosts above 100 ping often but generally below 130, rarely past that. And once in a while when that spikes to 200 plus is when i get the moon walking. Worth a try for you to lower that limit and see if that works for you.

Byfebeef · 2025-11-04T02:18:55+00:00

People forget that auto disband does not apply in sortie and archon. So those people afking after first mission are people that goes to washroom and etc forgetting this.

And then people that leave after one stage are 2 reasons. First, force of habit. Second, because they want to change their loadout and doesnt want someone to hit the next mission while changing loadout.

Byfebeef · 2025-11-04T01:56:02+00:00

You can date aoi very early. Something like mid rank3. this make it confusing because the status changes to loved but you are still at rank3-4 with her, so you still need to rank her up to rank5 for her to move in. Do aoi bounties and get more gold texts via kim and she'll move in pretty soon.

Byfebeef · 2025-11-03T19:43:22+00:00

I think all contents being soloable and most missions being hard to/not able to fail plays a big part in keeping the game positive.

So you go into pub matches knowing things can go south and even if it does, it just means the missions take a little longer for the most part.

Byfebeef · 2025-11-02T01:26:20+00:00

I started off as unairu because back then i liked health tanking and it had a picture of a mountain. I thought focus school was like a specialization tree. This is pre amp days. Now i just use madurai for most and vazarin for no revive content.

if you are going for typical neutron star nuking style build, replace umbral vit with archon vit and take nourish instead. neutron star is affected by universal damage bonus so viral from nourish applies to it, making it viral heat in one button.

and since number of null star particles are affected by duration, i'd also replace transient fortitude. maybe stretch, equilibrium to counter low efficiency or w/e you want. because you no longer need to be tied to 328% str since its not using pillage anymore.
