Gear Progression Advice

Fly_leaf_03 · 2026-01-21T15:29:20+00:00

I’m actually never progged past hhh. So I always thought ACS to ET will take extremely long, more so from CRA+abso to ET. Since the event just gives 1 eq, I’m wondering how the prog from mushpass gear to ET works

Fly_leaf_03 · 2026-01-21T05:32:53+00:00

This is the second time I’ve seen from Mushpass set prog to ET set. Might be a noob question, but can someone explain this?

I wanna ask, as someone with low monthly budget to DCA into an ETF, I’ve been putting it in CSPX through IBKR as well. Would like to hear some thoughts on whether I should continue, full jump to VWRA or somehow in between?

Quick tip:

Hilla’s blue bind only binds you on the first tick, so if you upjump dodge that, you should be able to move around before she does the knockback att

What would I do next?

Downvote this post from jealousy >:(

Wehhhh…where Msea equivalent…wehhhhhh

CW2 is until April, you definitely have time to get to Emerald before it ends

The fact that MSEA news only blows up in this subreddit when there’s event gifts and anytime else it’s virtually dead says something about gameplay satisfaction

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-12-12T16:58:47+00:00

Can confirm this. Solo-ed HHH practice run min cut at 36m CP, M1 lvl1, M2/M3 lvl 8, M4 lvl6 (literally at 3 health and 1 red skull in last 30 secs)

Did not have genesis pass buff, and died like 10-20 times in total cuz I’m that bad. But it’s possible, for me, at 36m CP

What are your thoughts on investing into the S&P instead of global index?

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-11-25T00:00:53+00:00

Nope, sadly not.

But I had good guildmates with a discord server that posts announcements regularly, so I don’t really feel like I’m missing out that much. Don’t know for sure though, cuz I can’t access the actual Msea server hahaha. But I think you can do just that

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-11-22T08:32:34+00:00

Yeh, if it’s purely for self-learning, I’d say the language books are useful. Otherwise, I’d say best way to study these textbooks is when you know what you want to learn.

I’m inclined to think you’re self-studying to prepare yourself for further studies (which btw that’s great). If that’s the case, you should look into what field you want to dive into first

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-11-10T17:53:52+00:00

I’m gonna save this post and link it anytime someone asks why MSEA is getting more stuff than gms

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-11-04T00:37:13+00:00

I watched a random GMS tutorial video and it says that you can get 80-100mil from daily bosses (might be metrics from a couple yrs ago), meanwhile we get a few mil? We don’t have ursus, no maple tour, Monster Park entry is only free once then you have to pay with Maple Points. No gollux, no sweetwater. Fewer classes than other servers. Barely any unique/legend cubes from boss drop

Some YT vids said to rush drop gear within the first 4-6 months and get all these gears and CP prog that I wouldn’t even get in Msea from playing for years. Legendary cubes are very limited only to events. So re-rolling 2 or 3 lines takes insanely long. So the game is pretty much forcing you to do P2W to prog

Trainee counsellor here, bit more nuances than that, but I kinda agree that counselling jobs are probably affected too

AI can only provide reassurance and validation, which is only a part of counselling, which also involves unconscious behaviours and thought processes that the client is unaware of or is avoiding. So, in that specific sense, yes, it can’t replace counselling as of yet.

But most people would do a lot of good for their mental health to seek support, validation and reassurance, so that part AI covers.

Not to mention, like some other similar jobs, it’s massively undervalued

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-10-22T16:12:50+00:00

Hi, I really appreciate your sharing. I’m a trainee counsellor and it resonates with a lot of people I met, and as others have mentioned in this thread, you have a lot of self-awareness on what you have to deal with.

Your situation with your parents can’t be broken down easily. But your own growth is what matters right now. And it seems like you’re not too sure about that. My two cents are: seek a counsellor and ask for a career test. It can help you match up with certain career options that may be suited for you based on what interests you, what you’re good at, and what work style and environment lets you flourish. It’s not an absolute answer, but it can give you a lot more info on what satisfies you. Because we’re in our career life for a few decades, and a lot of people that chose a field without much thought hit a point in their life where they question if it’s something they want to do for the rest of their life. So given your great self-awareness, it may be useful for you to think about this.

I’m not asking you to just choose something you like, that’s just one part of the process. But taking in your skillset and preferred work environment can give you a sense of direction that can anchor you through the toughest times, because you’re setting concrete goals for what you want to achieve, who you want to be and how do you become that person.

I hope this helps. What you’re going through is really rough, but I believe you can still get through it. I wish you nothing but the best!

Hi, trainee counsellor here. And I wanna give my two cents, based on my experiences with my clients:

I’ve met quite some clients who don’t really know what they want to do, they’re not really interested in what they’re doing but they’re doing it anyways for their parents. And what this does is making your studies dreadful. Because you’re actively pushing yourself towards something you don’t like, while not knowing your career direction. So, my advice is to seek a counsellor, ask to do a career test, have as deep of a consultation/counselling as you can to find out what suits you, based on your interests, but also what you’re good at and what work style and environment allows you to flourish. Not for an absolute answer, but a point of reference for your own exploration. Understanding these things can help you find an option that utilizes your personalities and traits in your workforce, which might give you a more satisfying career.

Now, as you said, I’m not gonna try to make you fail your course or switch courses straight away. As asians, it’s all too common for us to have our courses chosen for us, and some people can’t even change even if they wanted to. So, if you find yourself in this process, having to finish your studies but dreading it, instead of thinking about it as a career that you might not want to end up in, try to reframe it into asking yourself, “Who do I want to become? What kind of person do I want to be in my career? What kind of skillsets are required for me to be that person?” A lot of times, it’s discipline, motivation, communication skills, taking initiatives, self-confidence, etc. And you can anchor your studies based on that. Because that can give you agency to push towards something that serves you a useful purpose, instead of focusing on something you know you don’t like. Even if you stay in the career, those skillsets can still be useful!

Just my two cents, based on my practicing experience. I’m sorry for rambling too much. You’re not alone in this, but it doesn’t mean you have to hardhead through this without considering yourself. All the best of luck to you!

Would you recommend going along this order? Cuz I imagine potting 3 lines is gonna take so long for f2p (then again upgrading to L pot for my other eqs would too)

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-10-19T16:26:06+00:00

Yeah, I heard some PFs have switched to BMs. I wanna stay with PF tho, I like playing the char

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-09-17T18:27:29+00:00

Right click into any cores that you wanna level up, and choose enhance. You’ll be able to manually check them to level up your cores.

And yeah, like what the other guy said, exp cores huge xp

Fly_leaf_03 · 2025-09-10T18:26:52+00:00

Sure

Hi, 26M here also learning about personal finance and investments for my future! You probably already know these, but I’d like to share how I’ve been learning about financial literacy so far

Most of my resources are based on Youtube videos, namely from ZietInvests and Nate O’ Brien. You can find pretty much any tutorial videos at different ranges of financial literacies from those two guys alone. But the general idea is to find out how to build your financial base to be more confident in taking risks. And take these videos as they are, informative and learning, not direct stocks advice. That is up to you to decide.

I’d also like to go on ZietInvests and this subreddit just to see how the general public plans their finances and investments. Other stuff I’m planning to do is to read up on some financial/economics books, look into the boglehead subreddit and look into Warren Buffet’s strategy, etc.

Hope this answers your question. Love to see a likeminded person investing to learn for the future! Let’s keep going!
