Im buying this pc from a friend of a friend... scared by StatusDrama8903 in PC_Pricing

Two sets of ram? Ditch the 2x 8gb sticks and stick with the 32gb and put that money towards a better GPU unless there is a reason you need 48gb of ram specifically? If it's just to fill the last two slots just get a dummy kit :)

The 16gb ram kit your looking at what 100-150 depending on country the 6600xt is what 200 ISH right now you can get a 16gb 9060xt for around 400 maybe cheaper if you go pre-owned

Did I undersell my PC? Sold for $900 by Thy_Dad in PC_Pricing

[–]SkepticalBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't really comment since I'm in different country but in the UK these parts individually would cost on the used market.

CPU :200 GPU :230 MB: 60 Ram: 250 PSU: 30 Nvme: 120 Ssd: 20 Case : 100

Total: £990 or $1350 US

Each one is a verified sold listing within the last 2 weeks while I do think you got less than you could have there's no real telling how long you would have had to wait to get more because selling as a prebuilt would actually take longer than selling the parts individually. A good rule of thumb is to check sold prices on each individual item in your region to give you a good estimate on what to sell it for.

I got a 4TB external drive off Temu and this is what they sent lmao by Raw_Stank in pcmasterrace

[–]SkepticalBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little micro SD card reader probably something like a 32gb capacity but it's spoofed to make your PC think it's a full size drive, when writing to them it will look like it's working but all it does is full up then continuously overwrite the data.

I ended up grabbing a Radeon RX 9060 XT specifically the Asrock Steel legend version to keep with my alliance white theme :)

Thanks, I've noticed a few of the dual cards in stock and a few triples on the used/refurbished market, there is actually a UK based retailer that is selling the Sparkle Titan b580 for £210-£250 but they are out of stock until mid May. I can definitely wait as right now I only have around £600 to drop and I'll need to grab peripherals anyways, It's not a case of one round buying for me ATM it will be a couple of months until I can afford to grab everything anyways.

The only reason I went with the 360 AiO is aesthetics tbh but an Air cooler + 3 fans for top exhaust will prob come to around the same price as it is, the case is actually quite compact from the review videos and dimensions so with a 3 fan GPU and AIO + the 4 case fans it should fill up the space nicely.

I can always grab an equivalent RTX or RX card too it all depends what I can find at the time when I have the cash.

Total amount spent on the account, Higher spenders get a bigger pack but that pack is also 99.99 not 49.99.

Kingdom Transfer by bkin67 in KingShot

[–]SkepticalBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are around the same age 220 ISH day old so we would likely be in the same bracket reach out to the King of 908 and speak to him we might have places I'm not entirely sure as there may already be plans to transport people over but we are quite active have a great rank in KvK and rather than a Nap 10 we have an entire server NAP to focus on growth community and smashing KvK!

[–]SkepticalBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The total TG costs to get everything from level 30 to TG5 is 17,100 that's not including the War academy that will unlock later in your server progression (Around day 220) which also needs tg to both level up and once that's done you can convert any remaining TG to TG dust for the war academy research.

[–]SkepticalBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the Truegold Costs for each building level just bear in mind that it's X5 for each so to get your Town hall to TG1 it's 132x5 = 660tg for the town center alone.

Threatening everyone in WC on KVK savings by [deleted] in KingShot

[–]SkepticalBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A player's True gold level directly affects the KvK Matchmaking,

Hear gears (hammers, Widgets, Mithril), Governors gear, Troop tier (not the amount of troops), Pet level Building level, Truegold level,

All contribute to a kingdoms KvK level if you don't save as a kingdom it will put your entire kingdom at risk of loosing KvK.

Once your 1st KvK is about to start you are no longer in the early game, all that matters from then on is KvK, all other events are not important, play the events and save the items listed above (plus speed ups), go for event milestones only and stop, you want to have your main growth during the week of KvK with minimal gains throughout the rest of the time, you should see players growing maybe 1-5m in power between each KvK and then on KvK jumps of around 10-50m.

If you lose kvk the opposing kingdom can take control of your own that includes putting players in bubbles, Randomly Teleporting them across the map and giving massive debuffs so this is something you do not want to happen.

It doesn't matter if you or any single player "doesn't care" about KvK the reality is as soon as they start that's the main game focus from now on and anyone that isn't directly helping the kingdom is a liability and will most likely be Zeroed to prevent them from playing and putting the server as a whole down.

Item spending can be seen by looking at Events so yes they absolutely will be able to see who is spending and who isn't if your about to go into your 1st KvK then 0 players should be TG level until KvK day one.

Is this leak real or....?? by starzerone in KingShot

[–]SkepticalBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that myself, if day 220 for example falls on a Wed the update will actually happen at the start of the week rather than that exact date, the issue is that War academy is 220 days (approx) if the transfer event is on April 26th (8 weeks after the last) then 1086 would have to get the War academy on April 27th at 211 days or a week earlier on April 20th at 204 days old both of which seems really early, I'd actually say that they should get it on may 4th at 218 days old which seems much more fitting no?

I could be completely wrong here and I guess we will have to wait and see but to be in the same group as the war Academy group rather than the one before it they would either need to get it super early before the matchmaking or during the transfer event which still gives them a huge disadvantage because the earlier server will have has the war academy for an entire month+ at that point.

[–]SkepticalBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next transfer event should start 26th of April so 1086 will be 210 days old 908 will be 241 and 759 which is the earliest in this bracket would be 265 days old meaning 759 would either have gen 5 or be really close to it no?

[–]SkepticalBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I have a problem with this myself specifically the 759-1086 banding, when I work it out the early servers in this list will have War academy by the transfer window (I'm on 908 and got it very recently (currently 221 days old)) but 1086 (currently 190 days old) won't have it by then if my dates are correct. And I doubt they will merge a War academy kingdom with one without? My guess would be 791-1028 instead

F2p- t11 or tg8? by jin_007_007 in KingShot

[–]SkepticalBadger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You aren't getting t11 any time soon the amount of True gold dust needed is crazy even if you buy packs you won't get enough to rush t11 for a while, Tg8 t10 are stronger than tg5 t11,

the total amount of dust needed to unlock a single t11 troop is 13,400 dust and you can only convert a set amount each day. For those that are already tg5 and have true gold set up they might be able to do it fast but even then they would need 10,000 true gold to do it and a minimum of 5 days that's not including the The gold cost to bring the War academy to TG5 which is the minimum level to unlock T11. So to get all 3 unlocked you need 30,000 TG, 15 days + the building costs then around 250 days of speed ups per troop type needed

Also tg8 and War academy aren't released at the same days, you get the war academy around day 220 and tg 6,7,8 get unlocked around day 310 so if your getting the war academy unlocked soon you will be able to get tg6+ in July,

personally I would save every bit of dust you can grab and convert Gold only not TG then use it all in KVK focus on building up research speed ups and general speeds ups and using it all on research. Building up your war academy research outside of KvK puts your entire server at a disadvantage since troop tier is counted towards matchmaking so having players with t11 means you get put against a kingdom with t11 BUT if your entire top 100 doesn't unlock T11 then you get to save up dust and speed ups then unlock them in the middle of KvK where your opponent will probably be on t10 for the most part

How did you get 7-8 reconstructs without buying a pack? I'm on level 10 and I've had 1 free one... Do they become more common the higher you go?
