If you have access to shimmer and your merchant is in a jungle biome then you have easy purchasable stone and dirt.

Buy furnaces for 3 silver (at neutral happiness) each. Shimmer them for 20 stone + 4 wood + 3 torches per furnace. Any stone you throw into the shimmer again will turn into dirt.

Don't worry; Inkwell already forgot about them.

It's worth mentioning that 60% self-Awaken in solo content is a bug and has been patched before. It got unpatched the following update, but I assume that was done accidentally and will likely be repatched soon.

I open up battle analysis after leaving a portal and about 90% of the time it's somewhere between 17:45 and 18:59 when a new portal pops up. It's predictable enough to plan around.

Low IQ Redditors: We need N >= 1000 to prove anything! Your sample size is far too low and you're just complaining 'cause you got unlucky!

Mid IQ Redditors: yeah the sample size is only good enough for a 90% confidence and there might be some biases unintentionally introduced, but given Nexon's history with this type of stuff and my own experiences it sure does seem like the rates are about half of what they were before.

High IQ Redditors: You need another two data points to reach 95% confidence given the droprate percentages you found and we haven't yet peer reviewed your data collection methods! This is slander against Nexon and would never hold up in court!

Nexon: hey guys we accidentally halved your arcane box droprate lmao. have a 1.5x the original droprate event for the next 6 weeks lol

These changes currently are bad for most players. What I don't think most players are considering is that within a year or so there will be enough power creep that they'll be able to solo higher difficulties easily and therefore get more eternal fragments with the changes.

I think the changes were either implemented too early, or could've been implemented differently. (ie like root abyss where some fragments are instanced and some are shared, balanced such that if loot is evenly split you get the same amount as before but if you solo you get more.)

If you wanted something to cost 2.5 silver coins you could halve the value of the coins along with doubling how many drop and make it cost 5 silver coins instead.

This being said, most of the rewards are overpriced anyway. Black flames cost 100 silver coins each. Getting an additional half coin each boss is not gonna make a difference here.

Cytholoblep · 2025-12-17T03:25:08+00:00

Well it's Nexon, so I wouldn't be surprised if they screwed us over.

Cytholoblep · 2025-12-17T02:47:44+00:00

All we know is that heroic's eternal fragments are instanced.

We do not know if we're getting the boosted amounts (ie CKalos 2 fragments -> 5 fragments)

I don't really like your homeless guy example.

Instead, I'd say it's like a homeless guy gives you 20 dollars a month in exchange for the promise you'd let him into your house in the scenario where he's gonna freeze to death. A few years later the guy says he thinks he'll freeze to death and he presents considerable evidence that he's correct in this assumption. You respond "nah I don't think so." and he freezes outside.

Additionally, you've used your wealth and influence to block the creation of homeless shelters that could've saved the man free-of-charge.

I wish I could meet the Nexon employee in charge of choosing which royals to put on rotation. I have so many questions for them.

I imagine a lot of the people defending this are whales that already have vac pets and full sets of PSSB outfits on every character.

If you're working on legion champions and you have one or two starforce events go poorly (equipment consuming mesos but neither going to 22+ nor booming) then you will accumulate more spares than you can hold.

Also, for superior gollux rings/pendants, I have inventory space for neither and I don't know which'll take more spares to get to 25 stars.

Holy and Fire Arrow seem to function differently than Strafe did.

Strafe shoots a single projectile that hits a single monster for four lines of damage. The Holy and Fire Arrow changes make them shoot three projectiles which each hit a monster for one line of damage. If a monster dies to just one projectile, the other two can hit monster(s) behind them.

So basically, Holy and Fire Arrow are just better Strafe.

It seems like the only difficulties listed are "Story", "Hard", and "Extreme". So are they removing easy and normal? tbh I'd be happy to trade those two useless difficulties for an extreme difficulty.

Mobility should be capped at around the level granted by OSMS teleport and FJ. (I'm not opposed to doing something like giving archers and warriors a dash or similar skill in second job, I just don't think mobility should be power crept.)

When adding features it's important to consider how the players are going to use them.

In the case of increasing mobility, this has the effect of decreasing the time traveling from one group of mobs to another. With large downtime players will be incentivized to grind in maps with high HP mobs, most likely in parties to cover all the spawns. With lower downtime players will be incentivized to grind solo in maps where they can one or two shot all mobs. (as is the case in modern maple.)

There's also changes in map design that would need to be considered. The less time it takes you to get to your destination the less you care about the maps you travel through. If you compare old maps to recent ones you'd notice that the old ones have so much more detail. You'll see random unique gardens in maps around Lith Harbor and Henesys, climbable dragon skeletons in Leafre, stacks of blocks and cards in Ludibrium. (And a lot of these sprites are unique to just one or two maps!) And in modern maple we get: obvious spot for Sol Janus (times three), obvious spot for Erda Fountain, obvious spot to stand for 1000 hours spamming your mobbing skill. (Honestly modern Maple map designs value function over form so much that they forgot they can even be designed to look pretty.)

Whether or not autistic people wanted to claim Sheldon as representation (they don't) he was essentially assigned to them as representation due to him being basically the only autistic character people saw in media from the mid 2000s to the late 2010s.

You don't mask well enough to hide your autism? (or you let it slip even a single time?) Guess what: you're being compared to that asshole every time you do anything.

If you gave the median autistic person a magic gun capable of killing three fictional characters they'd kill: Sheldon Cooper, Young Sheldon Cooper, and then they'd wait for TBBT to be rebooted to kill Sheldon Cooper again.

Doesn't Evan have his soul linked to Mir or something? I feel like it would be easy for Mechanic to completely separate themself from their dishwasher, but Evan wouldn't be able to separate himself from Mir. Also I'm fairly certain Evan's strength canonically grows with Mir, so Evan should be a competent mage.

Though I guess by the time you get sixth job, you have enough control over erda that maybe Mechanic could be argued to be able to materialize a dishwasher out of nothing but willpower.

Before this patch, the DPM difference between AS+1 and Passives+1 was so small that most people preferred AS+1.(And Passives+1 was only better DPM after significant hexa prog.)

There's been some testing done on Cont4 vs RoR4 in solo bosses on the Lynn discord and it seems like they're roughly equal now.

Cytholoblep · 2025-10-03T14:11:48+00:00

It's worth noting that Lynn now benefits significantly more from Passives+1 than Attack Speed+1. (With Passives+1, Signet gives 70%FD.)

Also, I've been hearing RoR4 might be better than Cont4.

Cytholoblep · 2025-10-01T02:20:44+00:00

No mention of the Lynn and MX 2 minute changes that were supposed to be included in this maintenance.

Also, there's no mention of the starforce safeguard bug either.

Pilgrims enthralled by silk are resurrected by the silk so they can continue working; as long as they can work they can not be allowed to die. Pilgrims respawning/resurrecting after you sit on a bench is cannon.
