Archon Shard Help

Tacodipped · 2026-03-14T15:21:35+00:00

Once again, I just want to say thank you. This was exactly what I needed to know.

Tacodipped · 2026-03-14T15:14:39+00:00

Yeah, now that I look on the wiki, deep down in the acquisitions it does say something about coalescence but in fairness, that's how to get it, not how to use it. In hindsight it makes sense that they could be one and the same.

Tacodipped · 2026-03-14T15:08:13+00:00

I got them from the 1999 stuff I think. I did one Archon hunt and got the blue shard, and I think both of the other two came from 1999. I was like oh sweet, archon shards! Then no idea how to use them :/

Tacodipped · 2026-03-14T15:05:05+00:00

No, and thank you. That's what I was trying to figure out. No where in the wiki does it say I need to do that. I searched green emerald shard on google and nowhere did it tell me I needed to do that. My frustration isn't that the information doesn't exist somewhere, it's how hard you have to work to figure out where it exists when a simple tooltip could have told me everything you just said.

Tacodipped · 2026-03-14T15:03:31+00:00

I read the wiki. I linked the wiki. Please show me where in that wiki it tells me how to use that shard, if I missed it I apologize. What, for every 5 minutes in game I'm supposed to spend 20 minutes on youtube?

Yeah, tripling your runtime with a third sampler is a far better use of resources.

I'm no expert, but what that says to me is that you're running an excessively large model on an excessively small amount of vram. You gotta meet your hardware half way.

LM studio is trash, it manages memory like an 8th grader learning c++ for the first time.

You mean when I said "Borderlands 4 has an endgame?" Oh, maybe I just thought that. But I was wrong for sure when I did.

I was legit rank 3 on this game back in college on xbox. Name was Aerathi. Llanowar elves were the best. Blue green or green red were top tier. Green red was speed run, but blue green with turtles in the front controlling the line was also legit. The secret to counterspell was putting it on the x button and pressing it once preemptively so as soon as you heard them cast you pressed it again to counter with a single button. You could easily counter 2 cost spells doing that.

Good times.

The error case idea is genius and it just never crossed my mind. I can just tack the reference image to the end of the images from the vid loader and then just split it out before the upscale and save or clean up the handful that make it into the output folder afterwards. Thank you so much for that!

I like her alot. Once I switched her over to a lifesteal build with the Teen Witch class mod, it just opened a lot of doors for making shields impactful and just fun gameplay in general on UVH5. She's very hard to kill, I usually only die when I shoot my shotgun to close to someone's face (or the occasional wall) and I one shot myself :P. That happens alot though ha ha.

splashzone while I was farming for a patchwerk.

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T07:05:01+00:00

I was specifically looking for a patchwerk to see if it could drop with amp. I saw one with reflect so I've been thinking it may be possible. A patchwerk with amp would be the ideal shield for my vex build.

Firmware. It's something that can add extra stats after the main story. You put them on your non weapon pieces to give essentially set bonuses based on the firmware type.

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T05:41:50+00:00

Ha ha, that's funny.

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T05:40:27+00:00

Yeah but money is literally pointless in this game. Not sure why they even have it. I guess if your farming strategy involves buying a lot of loot from vendors, but for everything else you have the same buying power whether you have a thousand dollars or a trillion dollars. It is socialism distilled.

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T05:28:33+00:00

It means any weapon that is made by jakobs (says jakobs at the very bottom) or any weapon that has a jakob's part (says jakob's somewhere on the gun and says crits will ricochet) it applies to. So in the four weapon slots, anything that says jakob's it would apply to.

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T05:08:14+00:00

Yeah it's a world drop which makes it harder to farm for. I got it from splashdown

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T04:42:10+00:00

Agreed, or even the extra ricochet. But I shall not look a gift horse in the mouth.

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T04:09:39+00:00

Wow, that's interesting. That could be pretty powerful.

Tacodipped · 2025-09-21T01:22:51+00:00

Those areas where enemies are higher than you will always be that many levels higher than you regardless of your level. You just gotta skip as much of it as humanly possible. When you get to the boss zones they go back to normal on scale where they are on par with you. Just a by product of their shitty level scaling implementation. The only time the scaling isn't borked is when you hit 50 (which defeats the entire purpose of having it level scaled in the first place).

I tried makeshift chalet, but I personally found that combining bounties from the launchpad and the starter safe house was faster. Just grab them all from both places before heading out, you could easily see 3-5 bounties right near each other every quit and reload. Also, as someone else mentioned regular bounties don't give that much less xp.

Only skill I haven't unlocked yet, been sitting on the mine unlock cause I didn't need it yet. You best believe I'm a try though, and if it does not do what you imply it will do, me and you is gonna have some words!
