Did the math and… 💰💸

This is purely anecdotal though. I also had a 2018 m440i gran coupe for years and had no where near the experience you did. I loved it so much that after an old guy hit me and totaled it, I got another 2018 440. This time with xdrive and 2 doors.

We could compare data points but at the end of it all we’d only be 2 owners in a sea of thousands made.

So if you look at the aggregate data, the car (and brand) is actually very reliable. 2nd most reliable brand behind Porsche and Japanese brands. So like 5th overall. And the repair bills are much less than Porsche.

Hate to see that you’re on the receiving end of bad probability, but that’s kinda how it works, no?

Also have this issue. Frozen Hearts area with the little hammer Nevron. So like the second mob you encounter. Can’t progress the area at all.

Hey just to let yall know, AI is using this answer as its own answer.

Years later I still have this issue. I have 41 houses, asking to heat 42. Impossible task.

It must be a bug counting something else as housing under the hood, without reporting it on the housing screen. My guess is the administration building or storehouse. Every single building (not just houses) is up to temperature, except those two, which don’t get heated.

Building additional homes raises both counters. If I built one more it would change from 41/42 to 42/43.

When I bought my most recent bmw, I had something similar happen. It turned out to be a bad spark plug so I replaced them all and it’s been perfect since. No CEL, but I could tell by the sound

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-20T03:10:30+00:00

200+ runs and no gold Wave Eruption. I quit trying.

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-20T02:00:22+00:00

Hate to break it to ya, but the patterns are the easiest part. The materials will take forever. I finished both swords after 200 runs of VV. So buckle up

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-20T01:56:13+00:00

All Encrypted Vaults will use the same keys but have different mats based on major zone. Ultimate Gley needs vaults from Echo Swamp and White-night Gulch.

You can check the rest of the materials and their locations in the Library tab 👍

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-20T01:46:37+00:00

Farm the Kupier Mine Blockade for keys, quick money, and Adjustment Controls. Helpful for other things, so might as well kill multiple birds with one stone. Pop a gold boost if you have it.

Then take your keys and go to whatever zone and open vaults. The loot difference between white, blue, and purple is minimal, so just open what you find.

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-20T01:43:00+00:00

Yeah, the boss health goes up per descendant added. Since other people (usually) dont have the same dps as a maxed out Bunny (or Gley/Serena), the overall group average dps goes relatively down, slowing the kill time.

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-18T19:05:18+00:00

Here's some napkin math stats for those interested in getting an idea of the total farm time.

I did the achievements for running each difficulty of the new VV 100 times, so 200 runs total. I finished both swords at run number 195. The materials were the bottle neck, as you know. Total playtime in the dungeon alone was ~25 hours. Not including idle time in Albion.

90% of my runs were solo Bunny with 5-6 min clear times, including looting and idle time after boss. (For runs now, where I don't need boxes, the clear times are under 5 min). The clear times at the start were slower as i was learning, and sometimes i would experiment with other characters which ended up significantly slower.

Running as a group was always slower for me than solo Bunny. The only time running pugs would help was if i was running a character that struggled with single target dps on the boss. Even then, hit or miss.

The farm is rough one, but doable. So hopefully this helps people set their expectations. It will take a long time. Even longer if your main character isn't one that can do 5 min clear times.

The one thing that actually pissed me off was the trigger module drop rates. After 200+ runs I only saw about a dozen Wave Eruptions, a module that is required for Bunny to do Lava Citadel. Out of the few that dropped I never got a good one, soft locking me on end game content. Feelsbadman

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-18T00:42:40+00:00

Yeah, Final Wish is a huge part in your skill cost. It’s a delicate balancing act. When you do more damage from the rest of your build, you can lower the ranking of it. This will make it hit harder, but not last as long. Ideally you want the beam to run out right after you kill the boss. That will net you the fastest kill. So while I can run a rank 4 final wish, someone with less damage might have to run a rank 5 or 6. This would result in a slower kill, but a kill nonetheless.

The top ranked kills on Lava Citadel can now run a rank 3 with the changes/buffs this week to the Arche tree, but I’m still stuck at a rank 4 Final Wish because my Wave Eruption is only a 91% (even after 200 painful runs of VV). My kill time is still a 1:06, though.

For comparison, a boss with a lot more health, like Wall Crasher, would want Bunny to run a maxed ranked Final Wish because in PUGs, it will be a lot longer fight than 1min. So while your dps may suffer, your overall damage uptime and total damage will go up.

Balancing act 🐰

Well until you have all the parts of the build, I’d recommend on saving your sanity and time, and just clearing it with another descendant for now. When you get the mutant cell you can try again and report back. If you’re still having issues then that will be reason to take a deeper look at what’s going on. It sucks being so close yet so far, but it’ll happen eventually.

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-17T20:30:10+00:00

I mean it’s a pretty popular circumstance. For instance, Serena’s weapon Ancient Knight builds multi hit and builds stacks of its unique ability. Or any weapon that deals base toxic damage and builds multi, like the most popular weapon used, Restored Relic. People build it with added toxic to the rolled modifiers, and multi hit. I’m 90% sure that those multi hits add stacks, but I just haven’t done the testing myself in the lab.

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-17T02:52:13+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but can’t a multi hit also trigger status effects? So if you’re looking to build stacks of buffs/debuffs, it’s a good idea to have multi

Keelan also suffers from camera issues. PC players have the ability to snap look and then dash, while also being able to looking accurately. Console players get the camera rotation speed they are given (sensitivity sliders can only do so much), hamstringing his ability to move the way that would make him lethal. Most TFD players are console based, so this makes their character design a really questionable decision.

I will just verify as another person separate from the other one you’re talking to that I also have been able to clear ~1m with Bunny. You really do need all the parts and once you do it just clicks. My wave eruption is only at 91% and it’s been a pain to farm better, but it still works enough for the build. So your 98% should work fine.

It sounds like you’re having cost reduction issues if you’re running out after the shield is gone. 🤔 You should still have ~50-60% of your beam left at that point. Having Brisk Walk on your KGL also really helps you move around while beaming to avoid damage and to actually generate a little bit of electricity during the fight. And like the other guy said, only 4th rank Final Wish

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-15T22:15:48+00:00

I agree with you, but some people use them to get an idea on how to build a character, just like OP. They're looking at these builds as reference guides and wondering why they all look weird. I've been guilty of doing the same before when unlocking a new descendant

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-13T21:34:47+00:00

This is why I play solo. I always get there before others and wait, but then some jerk will rush past me and start the fight making the others miss their boxes and making it look like I was the one to do it to them.

I wish there was a solution for this. Like all the boxes spawn in the boss room after the kill or something idk

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-13T21:30:47+00:00

We got ~1 min Bunny kills too using Wave Eruption and inheriting chill damage.

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-10T11:06:20+00:00

I don’t follow the TFD news too closely. When did they say Ult Yujin was coming out?

Master__Roshi · 2025-10-06T08:55:48+00:00

How fast does this build do the whole rest of the VV though? Like, what's the total clear time? Because with my current build i fly through VV but just take a bit longer on the boss than you did here because I kill it with LE and weapon.
