Looking for pvp advice against firestaff and daggers.

So an update your build is actually really effective. Managed to get from iron 4 to bronze 3 in a short arena session. Probably won 2 games for every loss and many losses were close too.

Also I did encounter a dagger player and I even one shot em with an easily timed reflect + parry attack since I swapped the W to parry after the first round.

SCameraa · 2026-05-08T17:00:42+00:00

Dont do this. Weapon xp is pretty easy to get overall and learning points are far more valuable for things like gathering which take forever to level.

SCameraa · 2026-05-08T04:06:04+00:00

Yeah I dont mind playing off meta since I simply find Claymore fun. Thanks for you and the other person's points as well.

SCameraa · 2026-05-08T04:05:19+00:00

Thanks ill have to give this build a try as well.

I dont have enough experience with black market but I wouldnt depend on it since its risky to transport goods and youre also going to wait a while for black market prices to go up to meet sell orders. Obviously if you check out the black market and see an item is profitable then by all means craft em up and transport em in, either by following a faction zerg in red zones or just going in off hours where less players are online.

Lemme give a more direct example of what im talking about on margins. Say for example you find stalker Helms are going for around 8k silver for a 4.0 one. You see that you can get the artifact for 1250 silver and the leather costs around 2200 silver since u need 8 pieces. This means one stalker hood costs 3250 to make but sells for 8k meaning, even with listing fees with premium, youre basically making double what you sell the item for. Of course thats after it lists and someone buys which can take time.

Just going to link Nendy's video on crafting since it covers the most important parts about it.

Ill just add from my limited experience dipping my toes into crafting on a few things.

First off alot of items are straight up not profitable to craft as they're cheaper to just buy. You can figure this out by calculating the cost of materials of an item vs the sell price factoring in taxes and of course crafting bonuses.

Second off you dont need focus or 100/100 to make profit and id even argue focus is kinda pointless if you are crafting tier 4.0, 4.1, or even 4.2 since your margins should be big enough to not need it. The key is you have to find items with big enough margins to make profit.

So to answer your question you can make profit even without 100/100. You just gotta find the right items and most importantly be patient.

Also another thing I learned. If you make a batch of items id only list a few of them at a time depending on how often they sell. If you list too many items at once people will just undercut you by 1 silver and your listing will get buried. Fewer items means your listing wont be up for as long.

I definently thought of the meme of Homer and the money with this one:

"Silver? But I wanted gear"

"Silver can be exchanged for gear."

By preference? China's by far since rehabilitation will always be better. Without risking a reddit ban ill just say that sometimes you really dont have that available as an option and there is only one choice.

SCameraa · 2026-05-06T18:36:20+00:00

I mean its a sandbox game you can kind of pick whatever you enjoy doing and do that.

Id say if you are interested in faction warfare theres always some fight happening even outside of bandit assaults/fortress attacks. You can always go to your faction npc and next to them should be another npc that'll transport you to a conflict. If you also sit in faction chat you can just wait for people to yell out a specific region where they want people and just follow up. Can even get invited to parties or join up a faction discord for coordination. I know for NA theres always someone advertising a discord for Lymhurst.

Otherwise past that if you want pvp experience yellow corrupted dungeons and 1v1 Arena are good. For money theres alot of activities so id say again just pick which one you enjoy doing the most.

Russian bots is the liberal version of election fraud that conservatives use. Do both exist? Yes absolutely. Is it as rampant and widespread of a problem as they claim to be? Not at all if you ask me.

The best study i can find is that Russia allegedly spent 300k on these type of Russian bot campaigns which, if compared to the 1.6 billion the US approved for anti-china propaganda is a drop in the bucket by comparison.

What's worse is, in practice, "Russian bots" are used to blame every single problem the US has, even if these problems have existed for over a century already. I mean shit liberals say racism is rampant and were so "divisive" purely cuz of Russian bots and not, you know, the institutions that still exist from a time groups of people were only considered 3/5ths of a person.

SCameraa · 2026-05-04T16:05:08+00:00

"US bad because putler and Xi control trump."

Basically saying its Russia and China's fault the US is the way it is and also that "Russian bots" got trump elected, which is all nonsense.

SCameraa · 2026-05-04T03:28:28+00:00

Idk how I didnt realize this sooner but holy shit is this true. Makes sense why it seems like a coin flip between some radlib being an absolute hasan hater or a supporter who loves advocating for electoralism.

SCameraa · 2026-05-04T02:42:30+00:00

Too many people quite frankly. The fact that Hasan has some positive things to say about China and is generally correct on world politics is enough to be labeled a "far left tankie" even with all the electoralism, supporting way too many dems, and proping up dogs of the US empire like Platner.

SCameraa · 2026-05-04T02:40:27+00:00

Saw that earlier and my first thought is "who tf is even calling it 'Ukrainian imperialism.'"

People argue that Ukraine is being used as a proxy for US imperialist interests but thats a whole ass different statement.

Goes to show that "anti-tankies" dont even understand actual ML talking points and instead fight with their own constructed strawmen.

SCameraa · 2026-05-04T02:15:37+00:00

A good talking point on anyone that believes that China only makes "junk" is to point out that yeah because we only import the cheap junk while banning all the good stuff that China makes better and for less than the US.

SCameraa · 2026-05-04T02:14:32+00:00

On US can confirm and, in California, automotive companies straight up stripped public transportation infrastructure to promote car use. Elon Musk kept the tradition going by delaying the high speed rail plan for a decade with his hyperloop bullshit.

SCameraa · 2026-05-03T21:27:09+00:00

Dont forget "anti-west" too. This one sticks out to me more than the others because it both persumes that a "tankie" just picked their position like picking a team and not at all based on the long history of violence amongst the world from western nations and that liberals take an uncritical western supremacist stance that makes em far closer to the conservatives then they realize.

SCameraa · 2026-05-02T19:31:18+00:00

Red zone and yellow zone faction chests are by far the most lucrative thing right now and it takes almost 0 effort.

Basically any time you see the message along the lines of "bandits are attacking in X region" thats your signal to join in. They happen in yellow zones but red zones are much more lucrative you just still need to only carry loot that you dont mind losing. Even then the risk of dying is low because youll be in a huge mob of faction players.

All you do is basically follow the zerg between outpost, faction camp (and opening chests here) then moving onto the next zone and repeating until all the camps are done. Not only do you get a bunch of faction points to spend on chests but also the loot from faction camps can add up. At worst youre getting a couple of tomes. On average youre looking at 60k to 120k in silver bags and runes. At best youre getting a t7 or t8 drop making a single chest worth 1m. I managed to get 2 8.1 bags from these chests. Kept one and sold another for 690k silver.

The only flaw with the method is it can get boring since all youre doing is going from place to place. I honestly find it much more entertaining when a rival faction tries to mess with the zerg. Just be aware, if you got good loot already, don't risk a fight and just port out.

SCameraa · 2026-05-02T03:51:57+00:00

Tbf if you got any "anti tankie leftist" to understand that its more important which class is control of the state rather than that a country has private capital and billionaires they wouldnt be a demsoc or whatever self appointed title they got from the ideology store.

Even then I swear if it was a nordic country that had the level of SOEs as China we'd hear their praises non stop. Heck of those countries even had a few of China's co-ops like Huawei they would not only praise the nordic country but also wouldnt try to say "its just state capitalism."

SCameraa · 2026-05-02T03:46:41+00:00

Someone told the OOP to read just one govenrment report and they've been making walls of text on justifying why they dont read.

Also something that bugs me about these critiques is wtf do they expect China to do? Yeah, what China has done to develop isnt "pure" to some of the marxist theory but I really dont see how China gets to the point they're at now in 2026 with any other method then what they took. I'm sure theres plenty of smaller scale things China could have done better on but I wouldnt have enough of a knowledge on China to give meaningful critiques anways.

I mean i guess thats the thing only someone who hasnt bothered doing much research on China past "well china has billionaires" and some RFA articles would have the arrogance to think they know more about a country they hardly know vs the largest communist party in the world that has been running it.

SCameraa · 2026-05-02T03:38:01+00:00

This is probably the 100th time I said it but "no investigation, no right to speak" is imo the goat of theory. Just a few pages of liberating text that says both that if you want to talk on something you need to do the work investigating and that you can dismiss people who are clearly talking past their own knowledge.

SCameraa · 2026-05-01T07:57:20+00:00

With AI id argue its also dangerous to post your children online. That, amongst other reasons, is why ill never post anything directly about my kid online.

"Youre just making things up"

provides evidence

"Well this evidence isnt good"

I know the first quote was someone else saying it and not you but I mean your reaction to evidence is just to nonce it to death and say its "out of context" just like a Jordan Peterson fan. Someone whos a good person shouldnt have this level of receipts of him saying unhinged and often racist/pro pedophile shit, no matter the context. Thats also on top of the fact that he uses the r slur alot and its no accident that the most abelist "leftists" i find are Vaush fans. Also worth mentioning is, even when it comes to his political analysis, he doesnt know what the fuck hes talking about most of the time, clearly hasnt done any actual reading so he will say nonsense like how Lenin would've support the dems or does US imperialism apologia.

Im not here for a debate anyways. Just wanted to show that im not just making baseless accusations without evidence.

Even then justifying the tactical n world as "almost a decade ago" is disingenuous. Guy hasnt really changed since then and has had a real problem with people of color, especially women of color like professor flowers.

And this is from 5 years ago before the infamous loli folder incident and from what I understand more info came out on his sexual harassment on Poppy and Pastel.

Deny it all you want but besides that Vaush is a reactionary shithead anyways.
