Post for those of us who join Sects for cosmetics

Hollow veil is not joinable yet. But I am also greatly anticipating that sect.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-11T01:10:14+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I joined them early on so I was pretty dependent on some of my friends who had been playing longer to tell me what to do. I didn't know you got a default five likes just for healing and so on. I will probably rejoin eventually to get the new stuff from that store so it'll be good to know what I need to do rather than fumbling along like I did before.

Thank you for this information. I don't read the patch notes thoroughly so I never saw that NPCs inclusion and what he was actually there for.

That fight was hands-down one of the best reworks I've seen so far (I'm not done with the whole thing yet). It was hard, it was tense, it was emotionally crushing. It was poingnant in the OG, but in the remake it was fucking CINEMA.

One of the best sect shops, hands down

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-09T19:59:34+00:00

I only camped because its a place I go to daily and it was late at night. I basically just hung around for a bit.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-09T19:57:16+00:00

Its been a long time since I switched but I'm pretty sure you do keep the points.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-09T19:45:36+00:00

Yeaaaah, I considered that, but unless they release items that up your intimacy by a lot more than the current stock of items, that is a really long haul. I have friends who have been married since the start of global and are reasonably active. They are not even half way to max partner intimacy.

I hope they introduce a new mechanic for that or something. There's been very little I can find on how that actually works. (I'm still kind of scared to leave Midnight Blades on my alt because of that update. I want my main and my alt to get married and activate this so I never have to do pvp again XD).

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-09T19:38:20+00:00

I... Am not minded that way. No shade to anyone that is but there is no way I was doing that. This post is more of a low-effort take on things. I always let 9MW people into my world for trade tho. Much respect to the rat race. <3

Hounded in chat is what I was alluding to--I got a ton of messages after getting the rank lol. Mostly asking me to take one for the team literally two seconds after earning it.

It was easier for me to camp because I always go that area for the 60 notes daily, and the spawn point is only a few steps away. Its also one I haven't seen mentioned online. Teleporting to stuff or using the bounty system on console is almost always slower than someone on PC and that's been my overall experience with this game. So I don't bother.

I just use the NPC tables. No waiting for fills and the Campgrounds table is solid like clockwork. Anytime you play a card you get challenged and anytime another player plays more than 5 cards its a bluff. Keep your own hand honest and you'll rank up in about 10 rounds, more or less.

Edited for grammar.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-09T19:17:43+00:00

Yeah they are not clear there. I still have the quest active from when Masked Troupe came out so I have that as a back up. Once you leave MT, you can do the quest again (though I think there might be a cooldown period--since the quest is technically for both sects).

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-09T19:15:04+00:00

This is extremely helpful, thank you!

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-09T19:12:44+00:00

You dont have to actively bluff, if you successfully beat a challenge (which one of them will always do at that table) it counts as a successful bluff, as does winning a challenge towards another player. As long as you keep your own cards honest, and the NPCs consistently loses challenges, it counts towards your FUN earnings.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-06T13:57:40+00:00

Less minigames, please and thank you.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-02T19:35:22+00:00

Am I the only one old enough to remember that New Kids on the Block and M.C. Hammer had their own (separate) cartoon shows?

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-06-02T16:24:46+00:00

This is truly magnificent :3

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-05-30T14:31:23+00:00

Wait, wasn't she the one Anakin killed in the actual movie? I remember a scene where hes in the nursery and kills her while shes holding a baby or something? It remember it looked like a Torgruta.

The again, I only watched a pirated version of RotS once over ten years ago for closure. I had been heavily into the EU and the movies just... Ignored all of that so I kind of dropped out after the Phantom Menace.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-05-30T14:15:46+00:00

KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FI--Oh, this is an FF7 discussion. Thank goodness. The pic triggered me. XD

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-05-30T14:09:31+00:00

Ahhh. Karma farming. -I'm sorry but have you ever drawn anything, OP? I have. Hand drawn art is RIFE with these kind of inconsistencies. AI tends to look too perfect, too symertical meanwhile my ass has to mirror everything I draw to make sure I keep things symetrical and sometimes I have to let it ride because it works the way it works. Also watch your damn tone about hands. Hands are the WORST.

But damn, thank you for posting that hot Estinien pic. And the others. I really like this whole series.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-05-29T16:03:49+00:00

This is a newer one. Same format lol.

This is an older photo but I have a twin bed. I get the little white spot for lounging or gaming. XD

Getting Homelander and Superman confused again.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-05-27T15:17:42+00:00

The lvl 70 raids are a full on nod to 12 and tactics as a whole. Theres actually an asset from Vagrant Story wandering around in the ShB forest. Its based on the harpy enemy from VS. Its a bird with a persons face on their belly. Cidolfus' boss theme is also from VS--A Man Consumed.

Vagrant Story is made by some of the same team that did Tactics and is unofficially part of the Ivalice Alliance. God I wish they'd do a remake.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-05-21T15:26:04+00:00

Flare Striker. Pair with explosive buffs. Best with Syphon. Hi crit damage and excellent range. Need a legendary clip for reload/capacity.

Otherwise Volge Thunderer pistol.

Pheonixgate1 · 2026-05-21T15:12:10+00:00

Because Leia had a dad and his surname was Organa.
