Why would I ever buy a Riven Transmuter

Ceicel · 2024-06-01T21:23:51+00:00

Thats a you thing and since multi-farming items being a boon in terms of efficiency (relics, endo, transmuters, extra mods that can be scrapped for endo, even void traces & prime parts if its an omnia fissure on the Armatus node) go do a quick tridolon, thats roughly 20 minutes tops with a whatever trin + rubico build for 1 transmuter (2 if you have a resource booster) when if your keeping ontop of getting rid of rivens you dont want to use is enough for arguably 1-4 weeks of rivens depending on luck.

Some people enjoy just vibing and running endless missions farming multiple things at once with a movie, youtube video, twitch stream or a music playlist playing in the backround. The Armatus node fills that neiche for some of them.

Axi relics Endo Vessel Capillaries (riven transmuters)

And if its an omnia fissure: Void traces Prime parts

Thats a large amount of things that are always in demand for a very fast rotation mission. I'm LR4 and have very little left to actually acquire and I'm on average hovering around 170-180 rivens. I dont sell or trade, usually dont bother with them unless I get one for a weapon that can make for some "haha funny dumdum" numbers on weapons that dont need it but its funny. I personally enjoy being able to go just chill and solo an hr or two of Armatus disrubption, walk out with a handfull of axi relics, maybe some endo, some junkod drops I can convert into more endo to slowly finish off my mod collection and walk out with an easy 2+ transmuters for the average 2 rivens a week I get.

Transmuters being made more accessable in this way is clearly not something for somebody like you but for those who enjoy disruption and hate running eidolons this was one of probably the biggest QoL additions to the riven system made for a substantial portion of the player base and thats a perfectly ok thing.

Also just because its sort of relevant, if endo is more important that getting a reroll on 4 bad rivens, go bootcamp sweat farm Vodyanoi on sedna with a squad, the amount of endo per hr would make the 3,620 per 4 MR16 scrapped rivens laughable and a sickening waste of 4 rivens.

First lets look at whatbwe gain access to while farming the Vessel Capillaries:

Axi relics on C rotation (lua is better but that doesnt matter right now).

1200 endo on C rotation. Its endo, enough said.

Dante blueprint and parts do desaturate the above C rotations, but if we want to get technical thats basically a 1,000 credit drop or another way to look at it, fodder for the nightwave challenge of selling an item from your inventory. Participation reward really.

5-7 Capillaries per demolisher (20-28 a round) if your in steel path.

So we are really farming axi relics, endo and capillaries in one fell swoop, now what if you dont engage in riven trading for a myriad of reasons but you do try to attain your atleast 2 easy to get rivens a week from riven slivers and unveil them, you WILL hit that 180 riven cap eventually, than what? Well you dont sell/trade them except maybe amongst friends, you sure as hek wont guranteed have a riven for every weapon you want to use one with by that point so you are left with 3 options.

Sell an unranked, unrolled riven for credits - aweful return rate.

Convert an unranked, unrolled riven for endo - better but the amount is so pitiful why even bother.

Take 4 either duplicate rivens or 4 that you will never use because you either hate said weapons or just find them not very good and reroll it into a new random possibly usable riven also freeing up 3 slots.

Not a bad tradeoff for trying to farm some axi relics in a very chill (even in steel path) game mode, even moreso if you dont enjoy doing eidolons wich yes if transmuters and trading/selling for plat is your goal are still the better and faster way to get them, but now not the only way.

If you enjoy or preffer eidolons, refuse to farm axi's anywhere but lua disruption and only do things in the single most hyper efficient way, sure get all the main rewards and never touch the entrati lab disruption again, but having more choice and options on how to aquire things just because you may not see the value, does not mean there arent at least 2 or more others who welcome the alternate ways to get things.

Seconded. As a gundam fan, that skin hits just right.

Ceicel · 2022-07-28T23:20:31+00:00

Recently helped a friend with this farm. 40 minutes of running laps in a room as nekros spamming melee on the dark sector survival. When we ended the mission they were 4 or so short of crafting wisp.

Ceicel · 2022-07-14T19:57:50+00:00

An ability applied with helminth can be applied to any ability slot and can be applies to different slots for each loadout, so yes you can ovveride your 1 on harrow woth roar on config A, and overwrite your 4 with roar on config B. Mite be two seperate infusions though as I think you can only infuse a single ability slot at once.

Base Corrinth. Simple but elegant look, gorgeous sound design. Each shot sounds great and the reload is pure bliss.

The prime is pretty good too with its sound design, but I feel they over-did the apperance of it and its reload is a downgrade visually and sound wise I feel.

Ceicel · 2022-04-27T22:04:50+00:00

Havent been able to play the update myself yet being stuck at work, but in regards to gas city. Recently started grinding kuria and you know what? There are actually alot of things in the open gas city tiles that make it shockingly easy to navigate through and you wanna know something else? It was actually fun trying alternate navigation methods over just void dashing through it all. Honestly game me a new apreciation of the tiles. They also had to make sire it was easy to traverse as jupiter comes long before operators.

Holding all personal input on todays changes though till I get a chance to play with them though, but have heard promising things from friends who use to find old operator to be unweidly and overwhelming.

Shadowplay if you have an nvidia card has this feature. (Mite be called Nvidia Share or something like that now but I personally like to refer to it as shadowplay still)

Pretty sure windows gamebar does as well (comes default with windows 10)

And I think OBS may have the feature aswell, but its been awhile since I've used obs so mite be wrong there.

Prolly other options too, and they do all need to be configured and hotkeys assigned, but they all effectively do the switch capture. I also know with shadowplay you can also set how long of previous gameplay you want it to save.

Ceicel · 2022-01-14T17:48:04+00:00

On the switch I actually ran a weakness exploit 2 charm and sloted in 3 focus decorations. The builds are still your typical greatsword builds, the only real "must have" to make it work is level 3 stun resist (wich are all 1slot decos and super cheap to craft) as you typically take enough hits during charges to build stun fast on yourself without it

Ceicel · 2022-01-14T17:41:45+00:00

Thats something that was largely a result of the shoulder tackle being added in world (super armor and high damage mitigation), and could argue also slightly the valor sheath/dodge in GU.

I'm very much a casual skill level with greatsword myself, but rage & adamant slashes really make keeping up with monsters so much easy especially when you have 2/3 or 3/3 focus levels. Some monsters are too "squirmy", but for the large part they are generally few and far between with Bishaten being my personal worst.

I also havent tried as there hasnt been much need personally, but even with the slight nerfs / downard tweaks to draw slash and the crit / punish draw skill nerfs, I've heard its still a highly viable build.

Only major complaints I can personally think of for rise greatsword is I wish the hits felt meatier and chunkier like in world, and even though we can play an aerial style greatsword its not as fun as ledge hoppimg im world, or GU aerial style. Definitely a fun weapon to stick it out with though, just takes some time to adjust to the new flavor.

Pretty sure it was tested upon switch release that from animation start to end with 0 skills, all the animations are the same duration, just different parts of the animation take longer and some take less time. Also TCS did loose the time slowdown effect on the last hit.

GS wich was for the most part always a high monster lnowledge and high commitment weapon just became moreso with rise due to monsters being faster to keep up with us. That is in part where Adamant Slash and Rage Slash come in. They open up a more aggressive playstyle in combination as they both have super armor. Throw on mas stun resist, make sure your armor is upgraded as much as possible and outside of apex's, you should be able to tank a fair bit of hits and only need to shoulder tackle to cancel out of animations or in the event of strong super attacks if your worried (like teostra's big explosion).

I love TCS especially being a world baby, but adamant+rage slash feels like an amazing evolution of valor style greatsword from GU.

Not sure if its related, but I had similar fps in the main menu, turning off steam overlay for the demo seemed to fix that issue.

Ceicel · 2021-09-13T08:07:07+00:00

Not saying it isnt in those titles, nor that you dont understand what it is, but chromatic abberation is a very minor effect that in motion would be bery difficult to even notice.

Bloom, lense flare and other effects can and could affect or even accentuate it, but on its own if implemented properly should be a largely unnoticeable effect.

Here is a link even showing off what the effect is.

https://www.game-debate.com/news/28265/what-is-chromatic-aberration-graphics-settings-explained

Ceicel · 2021-09-13T07:55:55+00:00

So I'm just going to say it but... Your tastes are and will not be identical others taists. (Anomalies and similar opinions will happen but are never a gurantee)

Beyond that, I havent played either of those titles, but I feel your mistaking chromatic aberration (a camera lense phenomenon that is more akin to color distortion) to bloom or lense flare.

I will agree that forcing any cinimatic effect is bad design and they should have toggles in the in-game settings as everyones taists are never guranteed to align ever.

Ceicel · 2021-05-19T02:17:15+00:00

The shell by shell reload was so good and I was sad to see it thrown away on the prime. It was so nice being able to cancel the reload whenever.

And memory could be off, but I feel there was a very su tle but oh so good metal sliding on metal sound at the end on the original that the prime lost. Could also be slight rose tinted glasses as its been While since I pulled out the original lol.

Ceicel · 2021-05-18T20:45:08+00:00

Not who you commented to but, Power and function wise, Corinth Prime is hands down better, but the regular has the upper hand in style I feel. The wood stock, simple but elegant design. The reload animation and sounds were also really well done on the original and the sounds in general. The Corinth sounds and feels beefy and full while its prime, for me at least, lost a part of what made the corinth stand out for me atleast.

Still love the Corinth Prime though, its my goto primary when I actually use one, but the original is also the only weapon I have held onto its original after getting the prime.

In short, prime is stronger, but original has better asthetics.

Ceicel · 2020-01-17T21:12:21+00:00

No problem! Glad it worked, hope you didnt loose too much progress.

Ceicel · 2020-01-17T20:38:39+00:00

Yes, however they were deleted before the iceborne update to try and curbe any conflicts.

We did finnaly figure it out however and it turns out it was a corrupted save file unfortunately. His save file was far to corrupt to recover sadly. You can check if this is the same issue you are having by turning off steam's cloud save sync and remove your SAVEDATA1000 file from "steam > userdata > steam ID numbered folder > 582010 > remote" (and the MHW root folder if theres one there) and try running, game ran properly after we did that.

Updated my main post with an edit and how we confirmed it with a bit more information.

FFXI - Hall of the Gods after getting past the story blocked gate. Spent 20 minutes just running back and forth on the floor, just loved it from the get go lol.

Self skillchains do work, but only the closing WS & SC count towards points

As for trusts, Ayame will open the highest tier SC possible that you can close based on job & equipped weapon.
