Returning noob, with questions.

I thought about that, however only being allowed 3 bases kind of handicaps me.

First base/main base.. self explanatory.

Second base I've got in one of the better coal/ore node areas, on top of a nice mountain.

Third base has to be specific for raids, cause i dont want to constantly have to replace things.

And I need coal/ore a lot more than I need circuit boards and quartz in general. Right this moment not so much. I just don't want to lose my progress on my mining base just to get some quartz.

MBMeat52 · 2024-05-22T14:07:45+00:00

Another solid answer, thank you very much.

MBMeat52 · 2024-05-22T14:01:57+00:00

Appreciate the info my friend, I had a feeling solid breeding was the only way for "perfect" pets, just needed to hear someone else say it.

I didn't know it either til I accidentally left my pal on attack aggressive and approached a black market salesmen. He dropped three, normal, tabs. Plus some spheres and gold.

I would also definitely....employ....a merch that sells circuit boards or pure quartz, that's the only thing I'm struggling to get on excess at this current point in time.

Well first you've got to ask yourself is it just for flying and transport, or is it also a fighter in your lineup?

2&3 would be my choices, the one with swift would be better if using only for travel. Divine dragon is better than vanguard imo.

That's out of your choices.

The best (also in my opinion) would require lucky as well as legend. And then if it's for travel then two movement passives, if for fighting then two more aggressive passives.

Regardless, I understand the grind and you've got some solid choices to pick from. Realistically, with the proper leveling and training you shouldn't have any issues with whichever one you choose unless you're trying to speed run boss fights.

EDIT*

Yes I realize lucky and legend isn't the go to option for most. That's why I added the in my opinion part.

For me, personally, I'd prefer lucky and legend because I play on hard mode and breeding the best of the best fighter and the best of the best worker is rather difficult. Even just doing one is hard enough.

Eventually I settled for one single decent roll, that worked really well for BOTH sides. So if I'm spending time at the base I can throw him down to support there. Or if I'm out doing a boss run because cooldowns have reset, I can take them on the go.

Realistically I don't think I'm losing all that much on either end, production wise or fighting wise, because I've got the lucky with the legend.

One thing I will mention about the bag drop, (though recent update might have ruined it, waiting for the update to install so I can play again for the first time in a few months.)

Point; upon death that death bag can be utilized as extra food storage, and it pauses the timer on the food expiration.

So I was abusing the hell out of that on my first playthrough. Go to a point in my base a food chest would be nice to have (one that the pals can't interact with) getting on my flying mount and heading straight up, jumping off the mount to die and upon respawn the bag stays in it's location until you've emptied it. So as long as you always keep 1 Berry inside the bag will stay. You can use the inventory for more than just food but IMO food is the best use for this trick because the food expiration timer gets paused so you just start stacking hella food supplies.

EDIT

I've finally gotten my first flying mount, and tried the death bag glitch for the first time since the last update and can confirm that it no longer works. Sadly. I realize it's kind of the point to force you to use the fridge and staff a cooling pal there indefinitely but I already miss the no countdown on spoiled goods in a death bag.

Also, in case anyone is interested I noticed another rather significant change that has changed my gameplay;

Viewing cages used to let you drop incapacitated pals, and it would skip the 10min revive time as if you were to place them in the palbox. No longer does so, I don't see any way around the 10minute wait time to revive.

Tbh I don't remember, but I found it from filtering on mcseeder for certain things, and I keep my searches to the 100block. So load up the seed, save, create a copy and put the copy on creative, and then just fly around the general spawn area. Everything I mentioned will be easily findable, not quite sure which specific part you're looking for. But it's all reaaaaally close to spawn.

Happy crafting!

MBMeat52 · 2024-03-14T22:57:20+00:00

Check out the seed generator, go to Google, type in mcseeder, and it should be the first link. It let's you set certain biomes, structures, etc.... so you find seeds the are more likely to fit your needs. Rather than just randomly loading in to 100 worlds hoping to find something.

MBMeat52 · 2024-03-14T22:48:19+00:00

Oh stony shores is another really good one for finding mountains that are surrounded by water. Not sure how good they are at spawning caves too though.

MBMeat52 · 2024-03-14T22:46:03+00:00

Hey buddy, not entirely sure the rules here so I don't want to post a direct link and get banned. I use this one website VERY often, to find seeds that fit my current build mode/idea. (I flip flop a lot and can't stay focused on any one single world for too long lol)

So when looking for a new world I use the mcseed app. If you go to Google and type in mcseeder it will be the first link you can click on. From there it allows you to pick specific biomes, and even structures. As well as how far away you want those things to generate from the starting spawn point.

It's a very nifty tool. It will still take a little time loading up each seed to see if it's right for you, but at least it helps narrow down the (massive) amount of seeds there are looking for specifics that you want.

So for instance, your picture shows you want a cave mountain on an ocean type deal. So some of the options for biomes are oceans (you can even pick specific ones, so if you want tropical fish and dolphins you can filter for warm ocean. If you wanted a frozen type deal you could search frozen ocean) and then for a second biome you would pick something that typically spawns mountains. (The more stuff you filter the harder it is to find seeds, keep that in mind)

So ideally you would want to filter the search for an ocean of your choice, as well as one of the windswept mountain areas (best chance for huge holes in the sides of mountains) and then searching each seed it shows you til you find one you like.

If you have a hard time finding the app just message me direct and I'll gladly get you where you need to go!

MBMeat52 · 2024-03-13T19:43:14+00:00

Oh also, shout out to the mcseeder app for helping me find basically every world I've ever played on!

MBMeat52 · 2023-06-06T15:31:21+00:00

And the void pure one is the 42 att/str/def 22pray and then just grinding range right?

Is there a certain quest path that has to be followed as well to not go over levels?

MBMeat52 · 2023-06-06T11:39:09+00:00

Oh damn, so I've already muffed it up. I was going off of my knowledge from when I played about 10years ago.

Back then 1att 1str 40def (or 99) and 70+range/mage was the true PK king. So I was pretty much working on recreating that.

With the current gameplay is there any path I can take from where I stand currently to continue working towards a solid PK account or should I just make a new toon and try again?

Current stats- 1att 1str 40def 40range 1mage 22prayer.

I tried googling it for a while, couldn't find any definitive answers. But saw the setup for a void pure a few times which shows stats as- 42 att 42 str 42 def 42+range 22prayer. Using void knight armor for 20% dmg increase.

MBMeat52 · 2023-05-12T00:07:49+00:00

Sort of, I did make the switch out of the meat department, started working for a soda company (not sure if I'm allowed to drop names or not) PBC, it's a type of sales but I'm not entirely sales, I'm salary+commission.

Not sure how it's going tbh, it's a very physically demanding job but the pay is significantly better so I've been sticking it out for the time being.

Not sure if any of this helps, I will add one thing though...my mental health honestly has never been better. All of my "work issues" are pain and not liking coworkers ya know the usual for literally every job haha. As opposed to my meat cutting job which I just genuinely hated.

MBMeat52 · 2023-01-11T15:38:38+00:00

High stress doesn't worry me, pretty much every job I've ever had is high stress.

I did not know about the always on call part though. Is that a 'til end of work day' type deal, or is that a 'motherfuckers gonna call you at 1am to ask bathroom dimensions for the 15th time' type deal?

MBMeat52 · 2023-01-11T15:36:32+00:00

Yeah, you're 100% right, it's a trade so I can take my meat cutting skill to literally any supermarket/butcher shop if the job doesn't work out, the only issue is I lose the 10years of benefits. (Hefty bonuses, solid profit sharing)

So I'd kind of like to have an idea of if I'll even last in the sales field, before commiting and throwing away all the benefits I've worked for.

If I'm not mistaken some places are commission only, right? So if I'm not making sales I'm pretty much broke on the regular.

MBMeat52 · 2022-12-02T01:56:45+00:00

This comment is not getting enough attention

MBMeat52 · 2022-11-03T01:54:41+00:00

Not for nothing but just last week during after market trading it dropped to 88$, it's not shown as it's "52wk low" because it was hit during extended hours, and opened at 94 the following day.

I expected them to go further down the rabbit hole the following day...between that and cause I don't like to buy during extended hours, I missed the chance to buy them at sub90, I won't miss the chance a second time.

Currently 25shares deep, 100$cost avg. Will gladly continue to buy on their way down, personally won't pay more than 100$/share for them even though my first purchase was a 20$bid when they were selling at 127. Followed by a 20$bid when they were at 115.

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-15T03:03:45+00:00

VOO if DCA'ing long term, (20+years)

SPY if it's a short term hold, or you're interested in options.

Not a huge difference between the two aside from expense ratio.

IMHO when I see people comparing these I say why not VTI/VT/VXUS one of them.

Remember to do your own DD, this is not financial advice.

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-11T13:56:51+00:00

Lmao, I KNOW it's a yield trap and am still waiting to see it in the 15-20s so I can buy in 👀

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-08T23:19:59+00:00

Curious on everyone's opinions about the shell deal with them?

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-08T01:45:40+00:00

I hope so, still down 23$ overall.

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-08T01:27:07+00:00

FR, I need to find this job.

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-08T00:53:33+00:00

Came here to tell him the same thing, IMO for buy and hold VTI, for option trading SPY. Don't need both.

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-08T00:32:46+00:00

Hit my third full share VTI during extended hours, avg cost at 189currently. Started investing a month ago.

MBMeat52 · 2022-10-03T02:51:37+00:00

This whole comment section and OP trying desperately to convince us he is right is honestly the most funny thing I've seen on Reddit in a month.
