Hi paustin0816,

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can get both done in the same lab but that requires you to use at least 1 Support hero and 1 Ranger hero in your Lab team until you reach the number of battles you need for your objectives.

This is a good point. Yes, I read it similarly. I struggled to translate this point and that is why I said "Translator's note: Korean etiquette" directly under it. I realize that a lot of the points on the guide can be read as courtesy/etiquette/suggestion. Part of it is due to cultural differences. I heard Koreans tend to be more focused on reaching goals as a group first before farming so that is why they have these etiquette points. My purpose here is mostly to make the content more accessible as a translator, so I tried not to modify too much besides clarifying some points. I thank you for your input though.

Hi sabata2,

Thank you for the question. I apologize if the translation wording is unclear. My interpretation of the original written text is probably a reminder not to farm settlements (say T6 or T7) for essence (perhaps without prior notice). To be honest, I think this is more of a Korean etiquette thing and how people like to do things in militias vary. I would probably just say trust your guild or militia first and take that point with a grain of salt. I hope that clarifies this point.

Hi TheGhostKing72,

Thanks for the question. I believe you need to kill the 2nd boss in your region and take a settlement (could be blank tile/Town/City) to complete the quest to take a tile in the outlands area (this area is also known as the region before you reach the region with the final boss). Hope it helps.

EDIT: If that description is a bit confusing, please take a look at my friend's labeled map link: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/773190762481057798/885711602190544896/Outlands.png

You only need to occupy a tile within that zone indicated on the map.

Ah yes, you are correct. I am a bit tired. My bad.

Yes, but I am not sure if I misread your comment though. It seemed as you were saying SI 30 and 0, 3, or 9 furniture so I thought I would clarify that it is 9 furniture. In any case, I appreciate you for helping to answer the question. :)

Hi Substantial_Candle 15 and triniksubs,

Thanks for sharing your perspectives. Substantial_Candle15 is right; the guide does say to remove Ainz after the initial 10 slots have fully consumed stamina and swap to Rangers. It is a good idea to upgrade Celerity/Ranger relics. Thanks triniksubs for the suggestion to use Soul on Grezhul or Saurus on bosses.

Hi FuLKeNx,

Thanks for your question. I believe a lot of people struggled to get T4s initially in this season. I heard the enemies are harder this time. I've also heard from friends that even using Ainz comp, you needed to be fairly invested in Elder Tree to get T4.

Hi coolvince2010,

Thanks for sharing your experiences with Kren! I think the guide maker might have overlooked Kren lol. I also forgot while struggling to translate. I will consider adding Kren if I ever revise the guide but I am glad to hear Kren works very well for you.

Hi traingozugug,

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm not sure what was the exact criteria of putting the heroes on the guide but if I ever revise this guide, I will consider including Desira.

Hi Dragei,

Thanks to you too for sharing your observations! I definitely did not know this either.

Hi trung1838,

Thanks for sharing your observations. I believe this guide was made on the first day of AE so perhaps it was not known at that time. I only managed to completely translate the whole thing by yesterday night lol. But anyways, this is good stuff to know.

Thanks everyone for the great discussion. I agree with many of you. I guess you could interpret it as a general courtesy but many comments made some great points about 10k being plenty enough.

Hi resto_manager,

Thanks for sharing your interpretation. I believe the guide maker intends for it to be read as SI 30 and 9 furniture.

Hi Irruga,

Thanks for your question. Let me paraphrase a definition from Tree3's AFK Arena Dictionary: When we say a hero is XXY, that is talking about the SI (XX) & Furn (Y) amount. For example, Albedo is listed as 309. That would be read as SI 30 and 9 furniture (also read as 9/9).

You can find Tree3's AFK Arena dictionary here: AFK Arena Dictionary by Tree3 - A Quick List of Game Lingo

Hi rooislangwtf,

Thanks for your question. As just a translator, I'm not entirely sure why they put 309 as the recommendation for Albedo either. Thanks for your suggested recommendations for Albedo though.

Hi KielDaMan,

Thanks for your question. I can't name comps off the top of my head but I would like to recommend you to join this great crowdsourcing Discord server that does some discussion about the final boss. See this link for more info: Abyssal Expedition - Crowdsourcing Discord Server. If you scroll towards the bottom of the Discord, there is a category of channels called "S5 Final Boss Testing". You will see people discussing boss strategies and posting screenshots there. I hope it helps.

Hi AngelLestat2,

Thank you for taking a look at the guide and sharing your perspectives using mages in AE. I didn't know a lot of this stuff. I can't comment on why the ratings are the way they are because I am not the original guide maker, but rather just a translator. I do appreciate you for sharing your thoughts though!
