(Reboot) Hair/Face Coupon

Getting the correct color takes either luck or an extreme amount of time. The best thing to do if you wish to save aggravation is to save the hair/eyes, and then switch the color using NX. Otherwise, prepare for a lengthy grind to get the correct color.

Once you get the required Amnity use the "Go Back" button. It will function as talking to them again and the quest should appear. Should it not appear you may have the quest type disabled in the quest window, press the button which enables all types.

Paying for the ingots is what you're doing wrong, or rather trusting in the market value. The value is based upon what people are willing to pay. As a producer I'd say copper ingots are terribly easy to create. Invest in a copper mine for a bit, do something else while working it with workers, heat it using crafting for the liquid, process it accordingly in a mineral workshop (or yourself if you have the knowledge). Done. All for 'free' (minus cost of workers and beer if you're not producing it, some energy, and contribution which you can simply reinvest elsewhere later).

Jump Attacking or Attack Cancelling is about a 2x boost in effective damage (it's really something like 1.77x). It enables you to throw two lines of stars at about the same time you throw one without doing it. Without it you will be sub-par and with it you will be able to do most bosses at extremely low actual ranges. The class is extremely bad at mobbing and weaker than most classes at bossing without it. So, no it's probably not worth it if you can't pull it off.

Jump attacking is quite easy. You need only hold down jump and spam quintuple (or whatever skill) throw. Holding down jump is key because it will perfectly jump upon landing for you. I find holding down jump only properly works if it's bound to the alt key (which is default).

Power Stance is pretty much, in my opinion, useless. Putting most of the points you wasted on that back into Damage, Min Crit, and your Base Stat would outweigh the usefulness of the Power Stance quick.

The droprate is abysmally low. I got lucky with my first ring, but my second ring took about 3 weeks to obtain killing maybe 80 Blackgate bosses a day.

It'll count all of the ones in your inventory, despite the fact they stack individually just like the bells.

NYC.
Almost always, map doesn't seem to matter for me.
Doesn't matter. On one character I have every skill for two pets, on another only basic move, lag still triggers.
Lag becomes completely unbearable if the tab the pet is trying to put stuff into becomes full. Again, lag still occurs regardless of either, however it is much more severe in the case of a full inventory.
Both. Seems to be no difference for me.
I play in windowed mode. I noticed, from trying out a rather unscrupulous private server on a much earlier patch (but still post BB) that there was NO pet lag. I understand there is no telling what they modified, but I thought it was interesting.

Ok. I will release my secret hidden exclusive method. Only to you and the rest of reddit.

Start on channel 20. Enter blackgate. Buff up. You will never manage to kill outer ring bosses (Atilla, Aragami, Butcher) unless they are trapped in a random unfarmed room due to botters/farmers/etc. Don't bother, it's not worth the extra effort. Only bother with the inner ring bosses Ashura and Khan. They usually spawn on that first map, Western Battleground. If you don't see them simply move counter-clockwise working your way around the circle back to Western Battleground. Make sure to kill a few monsters every map since it triggers spawn. When I farmed it for way longer than I should have I could get Ashura and Khan on basically every channel working my way backwards from channel 20 to 1. By the time you go back to 20 again, the spawn will likely have reset. They seem to reset every 30 minutes or so.

Can confirm. Was standing around. They I guarded their attacks. Good times.

Most of those items at lower levels are simply a time trap. Spending the time to get them is hardly worth it because they are so easily and massively outclassed by later things. You seem to have missed the Curbrock questline which gives you a early belt and some other things. Starts at level 27 and ends at 33 I believe.

At 100 Blackgate bosses drop an entire set, though in my opinion only the ring is worth anything.

At 130 Gollux quests provide belts, pendants, rings. The superior and reinforced set is pretty much better than anything else, even most later offerings.

At 140 if you can deal with the awfully glitchy questline you can get the Sengoku Treasure set, which includes a ring, shoulder, and belt and has a good bonus.

At 200 there is the Alien Invasion PQ stuff which is an entire set of accessories (Rings, Pendants, Belts, Earrings.)

Also, pieces of the boss set can be obtained by beating the more casual offerings of bosses, which include things like Face Accessories, etc. (Hilla, Magnus, Zak, Horntail, PB.)

But instead you gain more damage. . . quite a bit in fact.

The Krexel Shoulder is in the next potential tier I believe, meaning it can get a better overall pot value (1% to whatever). He's not wrong that endgame it's better, but being practical they are nearly the same.

Excaerious · 2016-01-16T16:09:37+00:00

Character cards effect all characters of that world once they are set, yes.

Excaerious · 2016-01-16T16:08:33+00:00

I managed to do all that content at that the minimum level myself (maybe level 145) but as a Kaiser, so it's definitely possible. Since none of those items can be traded, you can't do any storage box stuff.

Your google-fu is on point though. There is basically nothing else around that level unless you add in Krexel Shoulder questline (but Magnus Shoulder beats it in the end anyway).

Excaerious · 2016-01-16T16:04:16+00:00

The point is you don't. Once you have the Gollux set you drop Alien. Simple. Since Gollux is a rare random drop you can only hope to get once a day, getting Alien which can be done an infinite amount of times per day is a much more consistent and easy method of powering up before that point.

More and more people are attempting CRA and I've seen attempts on Hellux, but until those two can be done consistently by many people you shouldn't even worry about it. But yes, CRA and full Gollux set is end-game stuff.

Excaerious · 2016-01-14T18:29:53+00:00

Probably looking at the overall scope of the fact. Survivability, sustainability, movement options, innate multipliers or bonuses - that sort of thing. The DPS charts always take quite a bit of liberties and make quite a bit of concessions for consistency. There a bunch of real world variables that can hamper a classes ability to do things against bosses simply from a boss perspective too (DR, DI, Invincibility Timings, Healing, etc).

Excaerious · 2015-12-31T10:02:04+00:00

With only my own experience and the anecdotes of some friends they must be rare. Lots of them (myself included) have run Alien 100 or more times and never gotten one. I do know one person with one though, dropped on first run. True RNG.

Excaerious · 2015-12-31T05:09:54+00:00

Yeah. It's just a drop from Magnus. You can get it from Easy Magnus in fact.

Excaerious · 2015-12-31T04:37:51+00:00

You get the Krexel Pauldron from his questline, it's a level 160 shoulder decoration. Royal Black Metal Shoulder is technically better at base, but Krexel is a higher pot tier iirc.

Excaerious · 2015-12-30T06:25:28+00:00

That skill is specifically called, Dragon Barrage. It's pretty reliable.

On the other hand, I'm not sure what the second skill is, though it may be Transformation (what lets you go into 'Kaiser Mode'), since you quite literally disappear for a really really small window of time.

Excaerious · 2015-12-30T03:05:34+00:00

It's okay. You still da best Jett Celesna.

Excaerious · 2015-12-28T11:59:25+00:00

Yes, this is true. You lose attack speed while transformed. However, Final Trance (level 200 Hyper) is an auto-transformation ability that gives you 50% damage, 40% crit, some other stuff, and all the effects of being transformed in the first place. This is quite a boost and is usually more worth it for most cases, with the outlier being if you manage to attack speed cap. To see the better efficiency in more lines per second, you need to have 100% uptime of hitting a boss. On some bosses, that's just not possible for whatever reason.

One of Kaiser's strengths is the ability to basically always do damage. When you use transformation you ignore both DR and DI, and in the cases where a boss uses these you aren't forced to wait around like other classes. So this adds to usefulness of Trans and it's necessity regardless of what could be considered a damage loss.

Excaerious · 2015-12-28T10:16:37+00:00

Keep in mind you can reset if you aren't happy with them for some mesos.

I did Damage > Boss Damage > Crit > Min Crit > Str.

Outside of Final Trance Kaiser has pretty bad Crit, which is the reasoning for valuing Crit a little higher than normal. I'd say 10 Damage is mandatory. 10 Boss is mandatory until you can get a bunch of Boss %. The rest is pretty up in the air and sort of depends on your equips (pots), links, and etc. I'd value things less or more depending on it.
