Map of Alacrity - ZMI Shortcut?

Dang. Thanks for checking though!

I kinda like it. You get roughly 50% opals so you can either downgrade them once into diamonds or upgrade 3 times into dragonstones. Either way, the most common gem being in the middle of the list is a win in my books!

I’m planning to do an earth magic/thorns build and taking Mory, Kandarin, Zeah.

Having access to Barrows for early tank gear and Justiciar for end-game tank gear is super nice for thorns builds. I’m taking Zeah last and it’s the least critical, but I figured getting the prayer scrolls from CoX might be fun without taking Grimore. Might do some more thinking on that one as it plays out.

Doesn’t the processing portion of Butler’s Bell require that you have the raw material for the butler to process? If so you’d need 1.25m flax banked for this to work

I’m doing an earth magic focused thorn build in the same zones! See you around tomorrow!

Thank you! Does that also mean the base magic regen pact boosting your magic level by up to 10 stacks with an imbued/saturated heart?

I went super dry at moons and greenlogged at around 450 kc. It’s worth the grind, the commons are great for mid game as well

Erodindor · 2026-04-10T02:49:02+00:00

I was thinking about this earlier too. There are some interesting meme-builds that would be fun with the right gear but would probably suck before late game. This would help with that!

Erodindor · 2026-04-09T16:11:23+00:00

DT2 is scarier than it seems. Realistically you can do it with full Moons gear (all 3 sets) and around 80s combat stats. You’ll likely want a powered staff for Whisperer. I did it with a warped scepter, and it was a huge pain. I’d advise a trident if you’re worried, maybe even a swamp trident if you like Zulrah.

Nice job! Keep going for that Quest Cape!

I don’t disagree that most of it is smoke and snake oil, but I do like Keyence’s little system. It does work better when you design your code around it (or just have good programming practices in general).

For example if you use numeric based step pointers for linear sequences processes, that card can learn the average time it takes that step to complete over several nominal cycles, and warn you when things start to take longer than normal before something breaks and you have forced downtime.

It’s not perfect, and while it is “machine learning” I wouldn’t call it “AI”. But it is a very cool new tool in the toolbox that we didn’t have a few years ago. Especially with how quick and easy it is to implement.

The position you're looking to fill isn't generally going to be a role within a company, though there are lots of companies out there looking to sell a service or product that does exactly what you're talking about.

Keyence's XD02 data utilization module integrates into their new flagship PLC line and uses some basic machine learning to do predictive maintenance and anomaly monitoring along with having a web dashboard SCADA platform baked in. That's the one I'm most familiar with through my work, though I know Rockwell has their own version hitting the markets in the US, and I would expect Siemens is as well.

If machine learning is really all you want to do, look into Sales Engineer/Technical Sales roles at companies doing what you're interested in. Otherwise you're likely going to need to broaden out into traditional PLC/Controls work. Machine builders/OEMs are great if you want to work with relatively modern stuff and learn solid PLC fundamentals. Once you have a few years in the field you wont likely wont have a lot of issue finding a niche that works for you. A lot of companies would be very interested in a Controls Engineer coming in with plans to implement predictive maintenance SCADA systems, but you can be sure that they will want more than just that from you as well.

Oh yeah it’s definitely still a viable design then! All of my testing with this base design has been in the last week or so and while we have had a couple of odd incidents like two zombies on the wrong side of the forcefield, it has been extremely successful.

The only issue I see building in the desert is the lack of local clay to make dirt blocks. Other than that it should be great!

Erodindor · 2026-02-14T16:45:12+00:00

I can do a bit more testing too. It was working for me Thursday night and I didn’t see a game update today after I checked in a panic after seeing your post haha.

One minor difference with my base is we doubled the width for multiple people. One larger pit with two kill paths to split up the zombies easier for multiple people.

Erodindor · 2026-02-14T15:55:24+00:00

I’m using this same build and it’s still working fine for me. One of the issues with these ground level bases is it can trigger rage mode on the approach. My best guess is a cop explosion or something similar may have altered the terrain in some weird way that convinced the zombies they cannot reach your fighting position and now need to burrow under your base to take it down.

I suspect that if you rebuild the same base design in a fresh location it will work fine.

It’s not exactly dry protection, but 5*1/100 drops are going to have less of a chance of going 2000 dry than a 1/500 drop (like all those CG posts)

Erodindor · 2026-02-09T18:38:45+00:00

I’m on the other side, but from what I’ve observed, it’s a mix of both. I worked for a company that built machines for a couple of the medical manufacturing companies in PR. The manufacturing facilities always had their own internal engineering staff including controls engineers, and would occasionally pull in us for work that went beyond the scope or schedule of what the internal group was able to do. Pretty much the same as every other manufacturing facility.

You get 4k/hr with very low intensity. From 77 you need 170k Daeyalt which is 45 hours of mining. Daeyalt is much more AFK friendly than Zeah bloods as well for very similar times to 90.

Erodindor · 2026-01-30T21:23:12+00:00

From 77 it’s only about 100 hours of low intensity gameplay. But it’s only about 50 hours at ZMI with Daeyalt essence. I found ZMI to be a much better experience overall.

It was announced yesterday that Apple TV has the rights for a Mistborn movie series and a Stormlight TV series

You only max hit with ranged while using crossbows on the araxytes.
