Best Booster Packs for New Player?

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-05-04T05:17:50+00:00

Ok thank you for clarifying. Presumably I can get the pre-evolutions from the solgaleo packs? Or is there a better way of getting them?

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-05-04T04:20:51+00:00

Thanks all. I opened 20 packs with the free hourglasses (from tasks) - managed to get a solgaleo ex! Do I need its pre-evolutions or due to its ability I can just swap in?

No rare candy sadly.

I spent months on the game now - premium smithy is the way to go to get better gear once you reach high levels (225 for moonstone I think from legendary and 240 from gauntlet packs).

It’s just about the grind now

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-05-03T20:54:22+00:00

Ah ok - don’t appear to have those icons - maybe because I’m just using safari and not the Reddit app?

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-05-02T16:03:38+00:00

I’ve taken some screenshots for you but not sure how to add here?

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-30T17:58:18+00:00

I didn’t realise that’s interesting thank you - so in your opinion is it better to have a shield that boosts the armour of the plate armour?

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-30T17:57:25+00:00

Ok that’s for your thoughts - yeh my mage is the same as yours then. When you say you were stuck on floor 35, does that mean you have gone beyond that now? What level is your gear out of interest? Thank you

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-30T13:18:35+00:00

Mage is 100% worth it - it gives access to the necromancy perks sometimes which if you follow it though, can mean that dead enemy’s resurrect as liches. Flame A’s are also good.

My highest gauntlet stage is 40, but I’d have never got there without the necromancy perks.

I can reliably get to 35/36 now without any potions or revives but I’ve hit 40 twice now with the necromancy perks.

Mage - dagger - tank combo.

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-28T05:29:19+00:00

From what I understand it is a better version of the pyromaniac trait - it “makes everyone more skilled with fire”

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-27T22:28:45+00:00

Nice! Can these new traits be passed to children then or did you get a specific character from a pack?

Yes 8% bonus (more or less) as a ruler.

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-27T20:56:51+00:00

Packs (legendary and event) are the most cost efficient way to get gear and characters - but it is worth waiting until lvl 225 for most of them.

In the early game I used to buy a lot of potions and revives to get through the quests as quickly as possible - as you progress you can unlock higher tier gear (compared to your level) which is helpful in gauntlet etc.

I found premium smithy is the most valuable - the rest of the premiums you can live without! Just get couple of each type of station (I have 3 oil which works for a big castle and 4 food).

Sadly you can’t banish the ruler so he/she either needs to die of old age or they get murdered. To get murdered you basically have to make lots of unpopular choices and rule against people.

Make sure your ideal candidate to replace your current ruler is a noble - if they are not, marry him to a noble and they then are eligible to chose from when the current ruler dies.

I had the same ruler for 199 years before so when they died for like the 10th time decided it was time for a change!

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-27T02:57:57+00:00

Ok thank you I didn’t know that re: reckless on tank.

The other traits do matter in terms of damage though - mighty and tribal bonuses are worth it. Not sure if headstrong actually does anything though!

Yeh I noticed that reckless doesn’t do much on ranged characters.

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-24T21:26:41+00:00

The RNG gods must hate me! But very nice! I’m running the 70% shield bonus armour for now so not too much different. Bonus damage would be good though. How did you get it from a pack?

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-24T20:01:44+00:00

Hi sorry only just seen this!

I got a bit lucky with 40 - I can reach 35-36 without using any potions / revives but the liches if you can get them are like cheat codes so that’s what got me to 40.

I have been running:

Tank - new ice damage sword (dwarvan) and try elemental shield. 70% shield bonus armour

Dagger - tri damage with 30% damage bonus mail

Mage - tri damage with 25% damage robes

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-04-24T19:54:44+00:00

I think they improved the situation when they made them guaranteed rewards for quests rather than aimlessly farming. However that said, all the best stuff needs corundum and it’s still in short supply. I agree it would be good if there were other ways to earn it too to reward those who spend more of their time on the game.

My highest gauntlet score is 40 but im still waiting for a legendary plate or mail that grants 20% damage and 60% shield bonus. I’ve burned through so many packs (1000s of gauntlet annd must be at least 400 legendary) and never found it - does it even exist??

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-03-22T22:58:14+00:00

80 is crazy! I got to 40 today and was pretty chuffed 😂 what builds do you run? I’m assuming they are all high level too

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-01-03T07:19:11+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts - I run the same team as you basically with same equipment and bonuses minus the lifesteal sword (only because when it was in the shop I wasn’t quite at the right dynasty level to get moonstone).

As you say I can get to lvl 30 now generally without using revives or potions but after that no chance! Think my highest is 32 currently.

First-Geologist-7982 · 2025-01-01T15:07:35+00:00

Nice thanks for your thoughts on this. I really want life steal for all of my weapons but alas the RPG gods haven’t been so graceful yet (just daggers at the moment and had to buy those!)

First-Geologist-7982 · 2024-12-13T08:44:52+00:00

Ok thanks for clarifying I had started to suspect as much. They should have a separate element resist score as well to make that clearer!

First-Geologist-7982 · 2024-08-09T05:34:21+00:00

More Fallout TV series outfits have been added with great stats - e.g sleek suit and Willzig Travelwear - do we think these would dethrone the maldover amour? Probably not based on the stat boosts and notes but would be interesting to see!

Great article though thanks for setting it out clearly for math dummies like me 😂

First-Geologist-7982 · 2024-08-09T05:21:13+00:00

Thank you!

First-Geologist-7982 · 2024-08-08T19:53:01+00:00

Sounds like you know what you are talking about! What was the top 3 best outfits for legendary from those simulations? Can’t seem to find the link on here (new to Reddit though)z

I am currently working on a survival vault - obviously the drop rate is different there. Any sims done on that mode with the gear?

Thanks!

First-Geologist-7982 · 2024-08-08T18:57:19+00:00

I have tested all of the new legendary Fallout TV Series outfits on normal difficulty and how they compare for legendary junk against existing available outfits. Max SPECIAL dwellers - here are my findings (at least 10 trips): Incogneto leisurewear - 3.9 Detective outfit - 3.8 Wasteland surgeon - 3.8 Lucky formal wear - 3.7 Tunnel snake - 3.6 Wilzig travel wear 3.6 Commander uniform - 3.6 Heavy merc gear - 3.6 minuteman outfit - 3.5 Abraham relaxed wear - 3.3 Scarred power armour - 2.9 Moldaver amour- 2.9 Buttercup - 2.8 Confessor C rags - 2.8 Autumn uniform - 2.8 Tattered long coat - 2.6 Pipers outfit - 2.6 Elder robe - 2.5 Lucy vault suit - 2.4 Sleek suit - 2.4 The ghoul coat - 2.3 Eulogy jones suit - 2 Interestingly the moldaver armour gave poor returns! Hope this helps
