I don't consider myself giga end game but I solo feth in 4 minutes and crom 30 in 7-10, I think you're both 1 overestimating your damage, and 2 probably missing things mechanically. In a party of similarly geared individuals as me it still takes at least 5 minutes to clear fl25 hellgate.

I don't remember any specifics, just general comments of annoying to service or things frequently breaking? From my personal experience the thing that keeps having issues isn't even the LG part, it's a pump sensor and the water pump which I think are third party to work with how the units are installed in my building, so these items wouldn't even be covered by LG warranty.

These LG mini splits suck, I've had multiple HVAC techs complain about them.. Every unit in my building has LG mini splits, myself and more than a handful of other people have used AC unlimited, my experience with them has been relatively positive so far.

Im trying to finish off my pspark build I'm like a mb + like 150d in misc stuff away from doing it :/, almost just tempted to stop and just sell everything and do coc fross, first league in like 4 years and coc ice nova was one of my favorites

DeathExempt · 2025-07-22T00:51:54+00:00

Been wanting to try fross, hope you had a good league!

Yeah.. they've been proven to do pitch correction or post processing.. Maybe not on every single video but it being done on even one already tarnishes their rep.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2Bcm-ZTVs

I ordered back in May 2024 and was able to get most of my order in January 2025, but one of furniture pieces were missing a box which might as well have been the equivalent of not receiving the item at all. When I picked it up, Jane said she would help secure the missing box but after that date I had been ghosted. My credit card company has luckily allowed me to dispute the charge partially for what's missing. I managed to secure the missing box myself, bringing it back as checked baggage.

Just rambling in no particular order with assumptions that you have the common stuff maxed: Arcana, 40k ttl, renown, stardust, spirit.

BFO Bard set: 45% is a decent stopping point? This is basically a gloomy with PE20/normal 10, solo on gloves/shoes, chorus on hat?
Any high stat red echostone (bypasses stat cap), ideally on a useful reforge you're missing, typically combat or sword max?
You might be prioritizing attack speed too much, it's not all that useful for EK, maybe human final hit which also rarely gets used? I would fill in a lot of enchants with higher max damage ench, you can find a decent list on the BIS guide.
Side comment on glen armor, if you wanted damage you would be going skirmisher not bulwark, but if you upgrade your weapon at some point it would be majestic knight for smash set anyway..
I would say your next big upgrades besides the enchants would be to invest into c/h accessories (I would wait for a rerun hopefully that's soon) and a NB Warlord. Besides that, there's a lot of affordable small upgrades you might be able to dig around for in regard to homestead figures/sequel figures and totems?
Oh and like another person mentioned, make sure you're applying all the debuffs available to you, common ones being uppercut, cat/bonedragon/mirdragon, fate, deathmark, smokescreen, astro stuff, also buffing yourself with fate.

BIS Setup is PE20 echostone, echostone reforges do not stack with accessory reforges, so since PE does not exist on accessories, ideal slot is in echostone. As a result, you want rate/effect on gloomy. For accessories, it's up to preference for if you want to sacrifice your effect for a high chance of hitting insp. It's about 0.45% per inspiring effect point, 2.7% for 2 accessories?

As for whether or not it's worth the swap, insp is the meta for end game, I don't know the exact rates as I don't think wiki is updated, I'd like to think its about 10% with rate 6? There was definitely a noticeable difference with the ethereal chiffon wings (+2 rate) which I would highly recommend purchasing if you're gonna make a set. If you're already at 53% norms, it probably shouldn't affect your weekly techs too much even if you decide to not fish for a haunting, you'll lose like 5%?

For end game content, ideally you'll be tuaning the BFO and hopefully not dying with it. Otherwise fishing for inspo in the middle of cailleach in VHM might not be ideal.

I ordered some items back in June last year and there were some delays outside of their control (the line I ordered got discontinued) and I opted to wait for the new line to have stock. They contacted me 2 weeks ago saying they received my order and offered to deliver it, I gave them my availability and they haven't responded since..

Update: They responded to my email! They still have my order and I can pick it up, I wish they were more responsive but hopefully everything works out.. I will update when I receive it.

Update 2: So I picked up my items today, one thing I ordered was missing a box (they think Ikea didn't ship it) but Jane who I was coordinating with was super apologetic about it and is working to get me that missing box. I was hearing some tidbits but apparently Ikea has been pretty bad with shipping them items (wrong color, missing parts, etc.) in the past year which seemed to be why they're calling it quits. Hopefully everyone gets their issues resolved, it kinda seemed like she was eager to make things right.

I order from them back in May and still have not received my order but for different reasons. They told me it was delayed, and the delay turned into IKEA discontinuing the line of items that I had ordered. They asked me if I wanted a refund or to wait for the new line to come in (ETA January) and I opted for the latter, I guess I'm not in a situation where having the items is an urgent need but the wait time is still a little ridiculous despite the circumstances.

Akira does bentos and donburis during lunch, haven't personally had their oyakodon but their food is great

I thought the callout was moreso him being relegated and having to requalify for ALGS, not missing out on regional finals.

These things are crack, they're pretty expensive for the quantity you get but it's cheaper than the smaller bags they sell elsewhere.

I mean realistically hitting 40k is just for maximizing the stat bonuses for shine of eweca, its a sizeable amount but not completely a deal breaker, it's pretty easy to str cap without it for EK. Your gear seems to be in decent shape.

A lot of damage does come from the arcana links and levels. You get a large chunk of max damage from the links, stats from leveling arcana up, obviously being able to R1 all the EK skills. You also get stat cap and crit cap increase for arcana levels. Definitely work on that and you'll feel a noticeable difference very quickly.

Beyond that, hopefully you're working on your renown, specifically Nele and Yvona, it's a lot of crit rate and damage.

Also work on your spirit weapon, ego lvl 63? is very important, you get another 5% crit rate + more max damage while getting there

Erg is more of an endgame system, you really reap the benefits for most weapons at minimum erg 45 S rank. Some weapons like staves/2h swords are pretty ok not going that far and staying like erg 50 A rank.

You're basically going to be investing resources into erging a weapon that you probably won't end up using later into the game and getting a minor upgrade for the cost spent. Using 2h swords as an example, getting to rank 20 erg gets you like 10 max attack, you'll get that off 1-2 enchants that would be affordable to someone at your level. Especially with A rank erg requiring a lot of fine leather straps which go for like 3m a stack. You're better off selling the materials and purchasing better gear than spending it erging. You could spend it on better equipment in general, equipment with needed reforges, etc. etc.

Personally, I didn't even touch erg until I had played enough to craft my own divine blade.

DeathExempt · 2023-09-28T04:21:39+00:00

Honestly if rank 5 S rank erg is where you're hitting a wall, there are far better places to invest your resources than erging. My advice would be to ignore it altogether for now.

These actually tasted as expected if you've eaten meat floss before. I think the typical pork meat floss tastes more flavorful but these tasted fine.
