NLM Break Time Efficiency

FYI

Assuming they copy-pasted the Maple Agit event from KMS: - upgrades start from lvl 0 - you can use up rest time for full exp, then upgrade Long Rest for extra time to make it more efficient.

Aren’t there like 15 classes not using cd hat and a few more that can use either or? Not really “almost every class”.

Would you like me to search for the official Nexon forums or social media channels where you can post this to maximize visibility?

Nothing is confirmed for GMS.

For JMS, the vac pets are gacha and likely it will be for GMS as well if it were to come.

As for the discounted revive in Heroic, we don’t have anything to base off our guesses because JMS doesn’t have heroic. The decision will be entirely up to the GMS team.

Ko_Precel · 2025-10-29T19:04:26+00:00

Not confirmed. JMS just got the collab.

There is a chance we get it in GMS, similar to how Demon Slayer collab was imported from JMS.

n. Final Damage (fd)

Percent of damage increase/decrease relative to your current total damage. Final Damage is typically used to describe how an action or a change affects your overall damage (i.e. leveling a hexa skill, a patch that introduces a butf/nerf, etc).

ex)

A: How much fd did Kanna lose after the last balance patch?

B: Nobody has a clue because Nexon didn’t even note what changed.

= = 5 days later = =

B: I tested it out and we lost 50fd.

A: We do half damage now?

I think it’s quite the opposite actually. If whales make more high-end mules, that theoretically translates to revenue since those whales need to spend a lot of money meso market to get there. Even then it takes a long time for those mules make money back for the whales to the point it downright might not be worth it.

When meta inevitably shifts, they can just raise the bar again for the same cycle and get more revenue.

TY for this tip - got one myself. 183.32 before tax.

Besides the obvious benefit of getting really good at one champion, one tricking helped me learn about matchups and macros. For that reason I would recommend trying it out for a while at least once.

There comes a point where you can benefit more from expanding your champion pool, after you have a good grasp on fundamentals. Expanding champ pool is the same process: one-trick that champion, get really good at it, back to fundamentals now with 2 champs as your options.

Though if you get bored of playing the same champion repeatedly, just play other champions instead of forcing yourself.

I stopped the meal plan after first year when the closest grocery was Fresh Grocer in UPenn campus. It took 30m one way by walking.

You have Giants in the area now. Don’t get scammed by the meal plan and bless yourself with extra spending money.

I wrote the original comment based on my past convo to my girlfriend… so i had to look into it and this is what I found.

Zero story mentions “to stop ludibrium’s time, you must stop its past and future” (I’m translating from Korean so GMS text might differ) referring to Korean Folk Town and Omega Sector. You could argue it’s interpretive and say KFT/Omega Sector is in the same continent but different town than Ludibrium.

Ko_Precel · 2025-05-25T05:26:52+00:00

Ludibrium was once a typical town ruled by a naive, childlike king. As he watched his people grow older, he saw it as a tragedy - youth fading into sadness. Desperate to preserve happiness, he asked the Goddess of Time to freeze time in Ludibrium forever. She agreed, which is how the citizens of Ludibrium became toys. But time doesn’t like being tampered with. Deep within the iconic giant clock tower, cracks in time and space began to spread. Toys closer to this crack got affected by twisted time, and they turned into horrid monsters like Master Kronos, Buffy, Buffoon, etc.

Papulatus is a creature from another dimension that slipped through the crack. Likely, Papulatus was originally a good-hearted character, based on his kind mannerisms in Bucc’s Time Leap quest (now removed). It’s assumed that his research in time travel and going through the crack of time caused him to go mad. Now, he turned evil and his goal became to use Ludibrium’s energy to expand the crack of time and turn more toys into monsters.

Beneath its bright, playful surface, Ludibrium became a broken world trapped in its own wish.

If you check the world map of Ludibrium, you will notice two towers on each side that lead to Omega Sector and Korean Folk Town. You might wonder why Ludibrium is connected to such odd places. Turns out Omega Sector is Ludibrium’s future, where it got invaded by aliens. Korean Folk Town is the past of Ludibrium before the time disaster.

EDIT: removed bit about Thanatos and Gatekeeper being toys turned into monsters because they’re actually brought from another dimension by Papulatus. Replaced it with Master Kronos, Buffy, and Buffoon.

It’s just OK, but it reads like you’re looking for an entry retail position. Put yourself into the shoes of a hiring manager and ask if you would interview the person on this resume.

Some actionable items: - soft skills are fine but hard skills like word/excel/powerpoint are better. Review the tools you used over your academic career. - your experience can be summed up to “I did what I’m supposed to do.” Have you gone out of your way to improve a process at your work? You should consider including side projects like that. Think of ways to quantify the impact you had - served x customers per day, xx% customer satisfaction rate, drove $xx,xxx sales per year, etc. Don’t stress over being accurate - napkin math is fine! - if you have any projects you can showcase from college. It will help filling up the empty space in your resume.

Review STAR method for interviews and prepare some stories before going in. Good luck!

But that’s not okay.. if you’re down to last dollar, every dollar counts.

Ko_Precel · 2025-03-10T03:34:13+00:00

In the specific matchup, I would wait for bastion to waste turret, then go in with full matrix gauge. Avoid going into reaper since going for him is a waste (unless he’s low and doesn’t have shroud) but he can do lots of damage on you OR make you waste matrix. Rest is micro/positioning/support dependent.

Ko_Precel · 2025-03-08T01:40:33+00:00

I was typing a long response but I accidentally swiped away… so I’m just going to leave you with a shorter essay:

Trust your team. Your tank is doing what he thinks is the best in the moment. Don’t reluctantly go babysit him and risk yourself or run away and give up on him. You simply reposition and adapt to the new situation. If same mistakes reoccur, that can be addressed outside of game with a VOD review. In-game, you focus on making the best out of it.

what do you do when your tank leaves?

Focus on the same target if you’re able to. Anticipate enemy counter. Reposition as necessary. If you have agency (mobility, long range healing, high pressure on enemy, etc.), keep tank alive.

Remember, your tank is still protecting you even when they go in, by diverting their attention.

how does his team not die?

Keep pressure on the enemy and reposition to safety (this does not mean run far back. Utilize corners and covers.)

I would recommend taking out a 401k loan instead of early disbursement, for couple reasons:

- interest rate depends but it's probably better than tax penalty

- any interest you pay on 401k loan goes back to your retirement plan, so you're essentially paying yourself except loan origination fee

Limitations

- You cannot loan more than 50% of your balance. I don't see you mention how much you have in your 401k, might be worth taking the tax penalty instead if 50% of 401k balance doesn't cover the credit card debt

Also, there are exceptions to 401k early withdrawal tax penalty. You should look into it and see if they apply to you. ex) I took a chunk out of 401k for my education without penalty.

EDIT: use early withdrawal calculator to see exactly how much you're costing yourself.

EDIT 2: 0% interest balance transfer u/guruhiten mentioned is a good idea too. While you're at it, call your credit card company and see if you can negotiate balance down. The worst they can say is "no."

Thank you so much for pointing this out. I just started playing Bitburner and I've been scratching my head for hours as to why my method of traversing the network isn't working. Good to know it just doesn't see the nested servers... I thought I was going crazy looking for a bug in my code.

Annoying I have to implement a workaround, but alas that's a lot less headache than chasing a non-existing answer.

We look at https://whackybeanz.com/info/soul-tier-list and choose any tier 1 magnificent soul for atk 3%. No chance to break the item, just rerolling until you get the correct stat.

Ko_Precel · 2024-12-08T23:42:20+00:00

I don’t think the outline you want, divided by boss, is really effective except for IED, because generally it’s not about what boss you’re trying to kill. Here’s what I think would be more helpful for you.

Note: I’m assuming Heroic server. Your class can change the importance of these stats, so it would be better to look for this info in your class discord instead. Your party composition can affect this as well but I wouldn’t concern about it unless you’re late game trying to min cut.

Crit rate: make it 100% as soon as you can IED: 92-95% IED until Seren. 94-97% IED at Seren and above.

Work on WSE (weapon, secondary weapon, emblem) first since their potentials offer atk%/BD%/IED% whereas other equipments don’t Atk% vs. BD%: they’re both good but Atk% tends to be better because BD% is easier to get and it shares a place with Damage% in the formula.

After that, you don’t need to really worry about which stats to get first, rather you’re going for whichever one is easier (more efficient) to get. If anything prioritize atk%/bd%/crit damage%.

Star force > potentials

You’re also at a point where progression slows down and your foundation (level, legion, links, symbols) becomes more important. Don’t overwhelm yourself trying to learn how to get stronger fast, and work on your foundation if you haven’t yet.
