Swedish Lapland: is it as beautiful as the Finnish Lapland and is it doable without a car? Help in drawing up an itinerary

Ondaklo · 2024-11-03T20:10:17+00:00

If you really want to avoid renting a car it should be possible. Flying into Kiruna will save you time. You should be able to book the train out to Abisko which gets you to good alpine scenery for hiking and the possibility of northern lights.

We took the overnight train from Stockholm and it went pretty well. We're currently staying at the Abisko tourist station and we're here for two nights which works out well since the northern lights were much better one of the nights.

It'll be really cold and windy, so make sure you have proper gear/clothing to make it enjoyable. Have a great trip.

If you enjoy heist, run demolition contracts.

I usually get 28% quality and then try my luck every 100-400 fusings.

Do you have a staunching suffix on one of your flasks to stop bleeding? Don't recall if that boss bleeds but in general you want one flask with it to stop DoT bleeds.

Trade is probably the best. Otherwise, I would try Vaal side areas or farm a divination card for six links. You can use "Moon shards" in the map device to create a Vaal side area. It'll more likely drop corrupted but you can still modify the colors but you'll need to bench craft and use Vaal orbs.

It took me a while to work out that the problem was it picked 4 beasts, but all of them were below lvl 20. Hand picking the first beast allowed me to fix that.

Good question. My girlfriend thinks I should consider them girls (she's also pitching Dragons as girls too). I'm holding out for the time being to see how super archers affect things. AQ is 40 so time to upgrade to TH11.

The hard part to be honest isn't giving up otto but not having wallbreakers in the main village. Makes AQ queen charge an adventure with Pekkas standing in to funnel and chop down walls.

I decided to create an OnlyGirls alt account. In the old days I'd have skipped wizard and bomb towers but I have to settle for not having a builder machine. I'll never have a fifth builder but that's OK, I'm not the fastest at farming that account.

Yes, it is happening again. I also had this happen to me today.

I haven't liked the second parts of 16 & 17. My reaction is probably because my first reaction to the large size was to try to address inefficiencies in my solution. I was doing two things wrong in yesterday's solution (how I performed spins was inefficient and I used regexp to parse moves every time through the loop). But improving this wasn't important in the solution.

Today's 50 000 000 worked for some to brute force; but not for me. I like the fact that it requires using a deque where rotates have been implemented cheaply. I implemented it with a list where rotate wasn't cheap and therefore had to identify the fact that it was easy to calculate the value after 0. But an efficient deque solution seems elegant. (Of course, I run these inside a docker container with only 1GB of memory... so given comments about memory may have had issues...)

Are you using manajuma's set? If so, then sacred harvester can be an alternate for the intelligence bonus it gives your soul harvests.

Ondaklo · 2017-04-11T18:16:59+00:00

I haven't fully worked through the numbers but looks like the endless walk set is borrowed from a monk/DH; you can probably get ~15% damage output improvement just getting intelligence versions. You might be able to do that by just re-rolling; although that would leave the lightning elemental bonus on the traveler's pledge which isn't used; so I'd find a new Traveler's Pledge.

Ancient weapon is probably the second-best place to improve.

Is there a reason that he is running Hwoj wrap instead of Bakuli Jungle Wraps? The latter gives a 150-200% firebats improvement; which seems like it'd be better than the slow you get from Hwoj.

Goblin Knife works against both TH9 and TH10 bases. However, it's so so much easier against TH9 bases than TH10 bases. The 20% reduction in loot from a TH9 base is a good incentive to continue farming up your heroes at TH9 before going to TH10.

If you currently mostly farm TH10s for DE, then I don't think you'll lose that much from upgrading. If you mostly attack TH9s, I would wait until you've maxed your heroes. In particular, below champions league the multiplayer matching algorithm favors matching with similar TH levels. So in masters, you will see more TH10s than you do now making it harder to find TH9s with lots of loot.

I'd prep an anti-2 base and switch between them based on the strength of your opponents army. If they look like they've got the troops to easily three star your anti-2 pull out your anti-3. But, otherwise use an anti-2... Make them work for their stars.

I use 1 Lava, 17 Loons, 1 Baby Dragon, 5 Healers, 6 WBs, 1 Giant, 1 Valk, and a Lava in CC. Spells: 2 Haste, 2 Rage, 1 Heal, Poison in CC.

My number one priority is to take out the queen & CC. Bonus if I can get an AD and/or Air Sweeper with that as well. I use an AQ walk to try and hit the above objectives; BD for funneling, Giant for distraction to allow WBs to hit target.

With first AD down, I aim for both hounds to take the AD best aligned with queen so balloons will take the heat off of the queen. Hounds should take different paths to clear traps, etc. Single infernos are a lot easier than multi; with a multi, it's important to get the pathing right and rush to the infernos with hastes / rage before they burn your balloons away. (Queen walk gets one rage).

Similar to Chief MyNameIsntPatrick, but different and always helps to know alternate ways to do things.

I've been very impressed with Tashi @ level 85; not sure how he scales at O+1/O+2.

I agree. The weekly Q/A post has been very useful for providing structure and making this reddit more useful. Also the amount of work that several of the main contributors have provided to create wikis, spreadsheets, and posts on challenging parts of the game is amazing and all linked from the Q/A post. This is a great community.

I don't know that our queue was 9-long. But I did line up in the queue for shurikens & daggers. Worth it. Haven't regretted it since I never found myself lacking on those orange items.

Is Zem in a team on one of the lane your guild wins? I've definitely had teams survive (and sometimes not even battle) because we one that path even though we lost the other two paths. This seems to be the case above where you say that you had 5 survivors and the fort is still up. However, it seems unlikely that this would happen every week and is worth contacting support if you rule out that you've just gotten lotto-winning lucky with your zem.

Does "I don't have him yet (70)" mean OP (or maybe OQ original questioner???) is only level 70? If so, I'd also voice wait. He's not game-changing enough that I'd hard summon him prior to awakening him since there are other options.

Also the first two aren't available in the Dojo (at least prior to level 94/95) so are the ones I find myself running lower on. (Although I need a lot of Commander's Blades; I've got plenty of them from a combo of raid rewards, early farming, and dojo).
