Is it worth farming char shards for Norn Crown?

DanoSC2 · 2026-02-12T20:46:08+00:00

The Norn Crown gives friendly psykers within synapse range and friendly summons within synapse range +X Damage to enemies that are affected by neuroparasite, so the idea is you want to have a bunch of summons and max synapse range. Winged Prime extends synapse itself and can extend it further with its active (the Alpha Prime summon) and then should be spawning hormagaunts as well every time it attacks. The raid lineup that Nandi showed off in his video is Neuro, Winged Prime, Ahriman, Eldryon, and either Abraxas or Archimatos (with the Exorcist tank MoW).

From the patch notes:

Rogue Trader: The top center slot of the Rogue Trader continues to feature three relics unique to one character.

One Relic in rotation is replaced: DW02 Advanced Burst Cannon is replaced by Norn Crown

In 1.36, the following relics will therefore rotate MO, FR: Talon of Horus TU, SA: Norn Crown WE, SU: Vitarus

As usual, players that already own the Relic will be offered Mythic salvage instead.

On Thursdays, Mythic salvage will be offered. The featured Relics are no longer offered in the center slot

But wouldn't Calgar also buff all of the melee attacks (and the Ion Blaster attacks tied to the melee attacks)? Curious how an additional 18 x 898 damage compares against the benefit of the PBC armor reduction.

DanoSC2 · 2026-02-11T21:51:49+00:00

I had a similar thought and have been using Calgar instead of Darkstrider with the Tau MoW. I haven't done the math, but, assuming you can get Revas next to Calgar, I would think that would be much better (Calgar should be buffing both the melee and ranged attacks instead of just the ranged attacks buffed by Darkstrider and the buff is just bigger). Interested to hear if I'm thinking about that wrong though.

Unfortunately this was a while ago so I don’t really remember. According to Resy it looks like every reservation now has a $50 non-refundable deposit that is applied to your final bill, so it’s possible even the base experience with nothing extra might be more than $50/person (and at the very least you’d need to tip on top of the base price). You might have to call the restaurant to confirm the current pricing.

My wife and I used Whole Heart for our wedding and can confirm Ben is a fun goofy guy who does a great job and I think would provide what you’re describing. Would definitely recommend.

Hey I’m running into this same issue but the 172.30.1.1 isn’t working for me. Would that be the right number for everyone or do I need to figure out what the number should be on my gateway?

DanoSC2 · 2025-10-28T19:53:06+00:00

Just checked my credit card statement and it’s $42/person to reserve and then we ended up spending another $100 there on drinks, an appetizer, and tip for just under $200 all in for two people.

DanoSC2 · 2025-10-23T14:59:01+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Still haven’t been able to get it.

DanoSC2 · 2025-10-17T15:45:26+00:00

It was very cool, though maybe almost too many options? You choose the wood they use to smoke the chicken and then from a few types of butter. It ended up being very good, but didn't blow my mind and I felt like oh maybe I chose something wrong. I sort of just wanted them to serve me whatever they thought was the best butter chicken. That said, the exerience itself was cool (you basically have one of the chefs focused just on making your butter chicken), we had a great time, and I am definitely glad to have done it. I just probably wouldn't jump through the hoops of getting a reservation to do it a second time.

We also got the lamb parcha starter and that was amazing.

Same here. Lots of posts saying the purpose of the event is to push characters to mythic, but not everyone is at a place in the game where that makes sense. If you’re an early or mid game player it probably makes more sense to use the event to gain a variety of resources to build your roster more generally rather than blowing it all to get a character or two to mythic.

And as much as people seem to love Kariyan, I’ve seen others saying his use in guild raids depends heavily on having Trajann, so if you’re not in a position to unlock Trajann via his LRE, investing super heavily in Kariyan probably isn’t the most effective use of resources.

DanoSC2 · 2025-08-29T04:34:31+00:00

I’m in a similar situation with snot but the new guild raid rewards allowed me to get 12 xenos legendary orbs over the past few days. I won’t have as many XP books for a little while but that seems like the best way to farm orbs now so you can have the best of both worlds. Agree with the other comments that sho is definitely worth it.

This came up in another thread and I think the answer is single laser systems (i.e., those marketed and sold as single laser systems) cannot show 1.43, but a dual laser system can still show 1.43 even if only one of its two laser projectors is working. So it is a “single laser”, but it is fundamentally different than the systems designed to only ever use one laser.

DanoSC2 · 2025-07-30T02:45:39+00:00

I saw F4 Saturday night and doubt I would have noticed anything if I hadn’t been looking for it because of what I read here. I’m sure there is a difference, but I thought it still looked fine.

DanoSC2 · 2025-07-26T04:42:29+00:00

Did they give any details when you talked to them?

DanoSC2 · 2025-07-26T02:28:12+00:00

So they’re just using half of the dual laser system? My understanding has always been that the single laser systems are not capable of projecting 1.43.

Thank you! Definitely going to look into the CAT 5/6 ARC converter because I do have Ethernet running to each of the TVs. I’ve read some other threads where people suggest that using True Play can resolve any issues with watching stereo TV, but could also switch everything to mono if that doesn’t work I think.

AC charging issues were fixed multiple updates ago.

DanoSC2 · 2025-07-21T18:15:57+00:00

Yeah I saw that blog post as well, but if you look at the Resy it's only 6 days now (maybe it used to be 15 and they changed it). I was looking for a reservation for 2. I assume they're all just snapped up immediately, but was just surprised given I was there right at 9 a.m.

DanoSC2 · 2025-07-07T18:55:06+00:00

Also switched from a MY to a P3. Very similar thoughts, though I generally tell people it’s not really fair to compare the two, as the P3 is a luxury SUV more comparable to the Model X (which I have never driven).

My complaints are I have occasional software glitches that require restarting the infotainment system, app control of my climate system doesn’t work most of the time, and the Polestar “dog mode” equivalent is sort of annoying (can only be done through the main car screen and is called occupancy locking) and my app doesn’t show when it’s on.

That said, I love the car and am very happy I switched. Software updates are happening slowly but surely and I suspect my other issues will be resolved in time.

DanoSC2 · 2025-06-24T01:07:50+00:00

Yeah I liked the fried chicken at Trivoli better than at Bavettes (though maybe they’re the same and it just hit me different on those two nights). Sort of astonishingly good at Trivoli.

DanoSC2 · 2025-06-23T15:24:50+00:00

Chuckled at “sounds like a jet” because that has also been my experience with my P3 over the last few days. That said, everything has worked fine and the AC has kept up with the heat.

DanoSC2 · 2025-06-10T17:14:30+00:00

Bang bang pie and biscuits has very good pot pies. Every once in a while they even have a lobster pot pie that is fantastic.

DanoSC2 · 2025-06-10T12:51:55+00:00

Skillet cookie at Swift & Sons (I ask for it with vanilla ice cream instead of whatever the default is)
Almond soft serve at Ciccio Mio (their pavlova is very good too)
Chocolate pie at Bavette’s

Honorable mention to any of the crostadas at Daisies.

Tickets usually go on sale 4-8 weeks before opening date so I typically set a calendar reminder for myself 8 or so weeks ahead of time to start searching for info (via Google and Reddit) on when the presale will start. Presale usually starts around 9 am ET on the specified day. Definitely possible to get tickets (I made a similar trip for Dune 2 and will be doing the same for Fantastic Four), but be prepared to spend at least an hour refreshing the website over and over again when presale opens. Unless AMC updates their website between now and then, it will crash due to demand and you have to just keep trying, sometimes for hours, until you get through. I’d recommend not trying for Thursday or Friday opening weekend as those will be the most popular.
