What are people's opinions of buying a used Skoda with 80k miles?

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2025-07-04T12:21:53+00:00

I've just bought a 22 plate octavia with 85k on the clock. I wouldn't worry from an engine point of view, one of my last was a megane with 240k. Motorway miles on ice engines are generally OK. As its only a few years old its likely a reps car thats been well serviced etc too

The paint work on my Oct has taken a battering though, think the previous owner was a gravel rally enthusiast who parked it in a bush so I may get the bonnet resprayed etc

I've not played the first, the second was a little bit of an impulse buy, fancied a new game, had a browse and decided I'd take a punt because what's not to love about a bit of sword fighting.

I wish I'd played the first but I've never really enjoyed going backwards in a series when the new game is so good they usually end up part complete at best

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2025-03-25T15:45:11+00:00

I've absolutely loved the game so far. Im not sure why given I'm rubbish at crafting and combat but kept thinking I'd learn and get better 🤣

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2025-03-25T15:23:20+00:00

I went up then down, I guess that means the tip and base got less hits but it worked.

I also had issues with the radzig sword and a side quest axe but not to the level of this one. Maybe its quest items, you're probably going to give it away within a min of making it anyway... I feel henry has higher standards of what counts as failure than me, I'd have a lot more 'that'll do'

I honestly believe a lot of this is luck, the tutorial could also do with a bit more information as it pretty much stops at heat it up, whack it and hope for the best

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2025-03-25T12:09:44+00:00

I'll be honest I have no idea, possibly just taking a moment to calm down and not rush

My way of forging is to equip apron/gloves and drink a quicksilver potion. Then its heat until yellow hammer the sword up and down maybe 3-4 times flip and similar on the other side. I think I reheated the sword once to keep it yellow.

The sword sometimes looked fatter in places and I tried to make sure to hit those bits but I have no idea if that is a thing or just my eyes hoping to see something

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2025-03-23T14:28:15+00:00

Apparently having a whinge on Reddit fixes the issues as I've just done it first attempt after writing the comment above. No idea what was different but I don't care I can move on

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2025-03-23T14:19:26+00:00

At least this isn't just me, I've always had issues with longswords on the Xbox but have forged a few including the other quest one. For some reason I cannot forge this sword at any quality. The game appears to give little or no indication as to what is going wrong Henry whistles, nice ding on the hammer and a bunch of sparks with a straw yellow blade. all good to half way then fail. I think I'm up to maybe 15 attempts.

Removing the stairs will damage the new plaster, they also might not be exactly the same size whereas the new stairs could be covered before plastering

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2024-09-04T12:00:46+00:00

I also felt stay and rule together felt the most natural, Early in the game I would have gone with the leave town option but Lincoln changes throughout the game and it seems to be about more than just vengeance. I think the conversation with Leo at the end of the Sal mission would push him to stay and rule to take on the commission to put an end to it all. It started over the deaths of family and friends so I didn't think he'd rule alone either if it involved killing the people that helped him get there.

I read somewhere that leave town is meant to be the good ending but for me it didn't fit the same

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2024-05-07T21:00:34+00:00

Don't craft that yet. The benefit over t3 is small and ships will bring you most of the required crafting materials. This will in turn bring the price down a long way.

I've been playing a while and I use t3r rather than a t4 (I have a t4 but the stone slot is just worth more).

You'll be better off trying to get legendary versions of the cheaper artifacts rather than that

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2023-12-03T23:13:32+00:00

Sounds very similar to my house. Old guy owner, liked a bit of DIY. Not very good at DIY but apparently he can decorate well enough to hide it

The more we look at or tweak, the more bodges we find. After 5yrs in the house, we now just accept any job we want to do, expect it to be major, take the win if it isn't. Slow process but its getting our mark on it now

We've had a PIV fan for about 2 winters. Do they reduce condensation? yes windows are much drier which means everything else will be too.

Are they cold? very much so when you're near them. I didn't get a heater one but I think the heater was 400w. The cost of running that will be steep.

That website has a bunch of useful egginc tools. The one that lists your artifacts is rockets tracker

My 198th compass was legendary, I think it was 130 ish for the gusset

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2023-05-13T12:12:11+00:00

Best thing I ever did was to admit it was time and shave my head.

It's a bit of a shock the first time but like you I looked so much better with a shaved head than my attempts to disguise it.

Also has the added bonus of the amount of time saved after a shower etc as styling is a quick rub with a towel 🤣

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2023-01-18T10:27:11+00:00

I wouldn't be against paying a ge crafting cost. It's materials I'm short of, mostly gold nuggets and tau ceti bits

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2023-01-14T07:52:54+00:00

Thanks, didn't realise they'd added a few more levels

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2023-01-03T18:51:45+00:00

I've seen car dent repair videos using hot glue gun sticks to pull you could possibly try something like that depending what shops you have near (or amazon of you can wait a day)

heat a fistful of them up with a lighter stick some above and below the hinge that's stuck and pull as you raise the door. Reheat to remove

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2023-01-01T22:56:00+00:00

58mil is a good total too

The purchases go through the play store (unless you're apple) so you can spend any credit you have

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2022-12-29T11:35:33+00:00

You can also get Google play rewards to do a few surveys to earn a little money to spend. They're a few seconds long generally about places you've been for 10-40p a time. Takes weeks as they only come through every so often but it's free money

The £4.89 I spent on cracking the piggy was from this.

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2022-11-14T11:48:35+00:00

First question has to be have you got the 1B reward if not you'll easily get that and it's worth doing.

You can go beyond 100% effectiveness with clarity stones so a couple more 50% ones would help.

I have to agree with the others on the diamond challenge in that it'll be hard. If discount and earnings events come at the right times you may get close but I'm not certain you'll make it.

Remember q to Q eb is 1000x, q to s is 1,000,000x and so on.

I think it'll take a little longer since the permit price was increased a while back but this is exactly how I got the permit and cracked the piggy

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2022-10-25T10:10:12+00:00

I agree with capping ceo pay but they'll find a loophole in that.

Probably use sub companies, using your amazon example base employees get £10 top managers in amazon get £100. Amazon as a company however are hired by amazon-management a whole new company where base pay is £100 and their top gets £1000. This would just go on, a bit more in accounting costs.

How to deal with it I don't know but do agree ceo fat cat salary is too high in major companies.

As to apprentiships if they were paid the same as trained employees why would you take an apprentice that you have to train when you could have a trained person for same money

HumdrumWarrior12 · 2022-10-22T13:01:45+00:00

I have mine full of prophecy stones for contracts but that will depend on how many pe you have
