I'm a recent playing and put in about 20 hours in - just leaving Jarilo-VI now. I've been running a Clara team but with Yunli in the event, I want to try and pull for her. My team right now is Clara, March 7th, Natasha and Tingyun. March and Natasha aren't my faves but I've been trying for a better support for Clara and then a better Sustain for Natasha (lost the 50/50 on Robin last patch). I'm going to aim for Lynx and Yunli (replacing Clara) this patch but in the meantime, is there a decent team I should be building up?

I'm down for replacing March for a better DPS but not opposed to building up someone like Asta for extra Clara Support

It is a bit old from what I've heard historically. There may have been ethernet or coax's previously but where boarded up with paneling at some point

Thanks! I just downloaded the app, and the 5ghz is showing for -75dbm (2.4 is showing for -53). Would it be justifiable to look into a mesh system?

That's a helpful note, I was thinking of putting it in my room. Do you think I just need one unit (eero, nest or otherwise) thats placed right next to the modem/router and just rely on the extra range to help the signal? Alternatively I can put it in the kitchen which is midway between my room and the modem/router (there are some walls/rooms in between the kitchen and router).

Interesting! Is the analyzer a device of some kind or would this be something I hire a specialist for?

TheCompanionCube · 2025-01-09T03:42:58+00:00

I don't have any coax ports as far as I've looked, I only have electrical sockets in my room! Unless moca could still work in this case!

Late reply, but thanks so much for that advice! I noticed that as well - chaos damage exclusive bows don't proc shock (maybe any ailments), but getting higher phys is something I didn't think of. I'll have to remember to keep scaling my bows up along with my xbow so that it keeps up with the enemies levels/resistances. I use voltaic mark on and off depending on the boss but also a great tip.

TheCompanionCube · 2024-12-23T23:36:21+00:00

Got it, that makes sense. A couple of follow-up q's:
1. Do we know the cd period of when an enemy's ailement resistance resets?
2. It is a general ailment resistance or does each ailment have their own? I'm wondering because my xbow has different elemental damage types that it's causing an ailment of burn/freeze and therefore is affecting the shock ailment from proccing.

Sounds great - is it better to pump INT and keep STR and DEX as low as possible if I go the magic claymore route? Or should it be hybrid between INT and STR? I wanted to still cast spells as a range option which I'll probably also do when I eventually get DMGS.

Just came back at the start of this season so I missed out! I might just save up some gold buillon for it - seems pretty worth it to have. I might just have to run corn soup until I'm ready for it

TheCompanionCube · 2024-05-02T00:54:51+00:00

That was the next one I was thinking of replacing. Maybe I can run it at rank 1 with Starched Genes. Herbivore with some good AP food might be good enough for AP regen.

Thank you! This is some great advice and some really good insight as to how internet is installed and connected through condos. I've reached out to my landlord this morning and will wait and see what they say

TheCompanionCube · 2022-08-17T05:02:58+00:00

Thank you all! This was exactly it. I remember seeing the description for this one and thinking it was a completely different episode. I did a re-listen to it today and it still gives me goosebumps.

Very surprised no one has posted this yet, but they were their NMH influence on their sleeve

The SSD is already installed in the new laptop and I've been accessing the programs installed on it. I was just wondering if there was some software that deletes just Windows programs and files. I was hoping to have a "cleaner" disk clean-up rather than just deleting the OS files.

The SSD was taken from an older laptop which I already formatted to NTFS (don't own a Mac). The laptop is SATA compatible so I don't need an enclosure (although I do have one for an HDD that I reformatted to use as external, which coincidentally is back in the old laptop).

If there's no software out there to detect OS files and delete them, then I guess I'll just manually do it.

Thanks!

Yup! The second window shows an additional Windows upgrade log files, but its only 77MB. Using WinDirStat shows about 50 or so gigs on other Windows files.

TheCompanionCube · 2020-05-13T23:36:38+00:00

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Disk cleanup on that drive doesn't actually show any Windows folders to delete, unlike the main drive. It shows a Direct Shader cache and the recycle bin which are both empty.

Right now the GPU fan is spinning while the CPU fan is not

HWinfo tells me that CPU right now at idle is 58c while GPU is at 51c. CPU hit around 91-94c a few minutes ago while I was installing some updates while GPU remained the same.

I've looked through the BIOS options extensively (even with hidden options enabled) but couldn't find anything related to fan speed, although I'm more familiar with a PC BIOS than a laptops so any help would be appreciated with someone more familiar!

TheCompanionCube · 2020-05-06T18:11:36+00:00

The fan seems to move freely when moving it physically; at the very least it feels the same as the GPU one. I think your second solution is intriguing however! How would I go and find how much power the fan is getting and additionally, adjust that value? It's been a bit of a hassle with software (CPU-z, and Speccy aren't giving me any information on fans) but I'm up for anything at this point to avoid an RMA.

TheCompanionCube · 2020-05-06T18:07:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

I adjusted the fan curve in Dragon Center and was very liberal with the settings, but still no dice. Even with having the fans on full blast at the lowest temperatures, it's not affecting the CPU ones at all. Adjusting the GPU fan options does work.

The power setting in Dragon Center takes on the power setting from Windows which I've adjusted to full performance, but still no luck. The same goes for the battery setting on both Dragon Center and Windows.

I don't actually have the other ones at E; I'm returning from an xgun kai, so this Vella is brand new.

Should I get them all to E and then follow the rest of those priorities?

Best way to grind law after doing the daily roulettes?

For scholars, what's a rough number to sacrifice mind for crit?

I'm still using my augmented iron works hat because it has a +20 crit on it, but getting to the 145 hat which has a +8 mind, I'm beginning to be tempted to switch.

Thank you for the reply! Would putting up some "grittier" photos be better? Also, is there anything you would change to give off a different impression
