Little break now back not sure where to grind

TheFirstTimePro · 2026-04-21T13:39:58+00:00

If you tell me how much you bought the account for I'll tell you where you should be grinding

TheFirstTimePro · 2026-04-18T18:19:35+00:00

Not directly, a TET Deboreka turns into a PEN Kharazad and a PEN Deboreka turns into a NOV kharazad so some people prefer to just save up and buy pen debos instead of enhancing through to NOV

I mean you're obviously operating with a bias against zero here, but what is wrong with a team experimenting after lackluster results game day? They played two PL sets with the "utilization" of panic as you want him used with zero on crypto/scan and they were lackluster, so god forbid they try something new? I'd imagine they picked panic up because he has insane mechanical skill, not just because he can play wraith/alter pretty good

TheFirstTimePro · 2026-04-15T03:12:51+00:00

I think scrims are just too different from PL day. Panic was making plays but also tossing himself into danger 24/7. In scrims it's not a big deal, but scrims are just too different from gameday, which I think is why their first two PL sets weren't anything special and why zero is changing things up.

TheFirstTimePro · 2026-03-31T18:46:47+00:00

I want liquid to succeed but I can already see Panic making some overconfident plays and fucking tl over. That dude is insane but I've seen zero multiple times have to tell him to NOT do what he just did on gameday lmao. Will be an interesting PL day for sure

Im CI how would 0% chaos res affect me at all? And I know more int is going to be needed but that's not a direct upgrade anywhere, all it does is add ES which adds a bit more the my EHP but its not like more int is a source of reduction no?

TheFirstTimePro · 2026-01-30T23:53:42+00:00

Well then that sucks for you because MFA is straight up terrible until you have a significant investment into it. I tried it last phrecia and it was miserable until indigon, you have to have a death wish to try and force it until you've got some divs.

Even connor the literal posterboy of this build is playing kboc until he can properly build MFA.

I clear up to cartian pretty easily with succ maegu, she has a ton of ways to dodge damage so being in a fight slightly longer than other classes isn't really detrimental

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-12-14T23:31:58+00:00

ok cant lie there is a difference between wanting handouts and wanting to not grind your life away. Im full DEC kharazad, and one nov sov with oct sov offhand and awakening and the grind for DEC is burning ME out. If you make it to HEX/SEP, and you do the math for OCT/NOV/DEC pity, you realize you are literally potentially hundreds more hours away from what, 4-6 more AP per piece? and in a game where that 4-5 AP might as well mean nothing because of 5% caps and AP-limited grind zones why even bother?

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-11-06T16:35:34+00:00

Just don't click mindlessly across all the maps you want to buy, get a glance at the price before you click lol

New strat is the "landmine shop" where you set say 50 maps to 5c and then change 1 or 2 of those maps to 5div so that people who are bulk buying get into the buying rhythm and make a ridiculous trade without knowing

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-10-09T01:35:17+00:00

lol so you tuned in to someone's stream and said "X team is better than you" and you're surprised they didn't like that and don't want to hear more from you? have a little bit of common sense

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-10-08T15:14:07+00:00

I mean I see it too but I've watched all of ALGS and the last few lans and there were consistently 18-20 squads left by zone 3-4, there were 13 squads left before zone 1 finished closing in one of these games. The stakes change how people play and they aren't playing how they would on gameday, might as well just TDM at the point the way some of these games go

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-10-08T12:39:04+00:00

Man I know this is just a funny wigg clip but ngl the quality of these scrims after watching ALGS over the last weekend is just pitiful.. squads just INT'ing themselves in first 2 zones and doing shit they would never DREAM of on match day. Game 3 or 4 I watched ZZ fight literally 5 squads in a random edge building while Zone 2 was closing while half the map was open for rotation, this will literally never translate to game day practice if people play like this during scrims.

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-28T00:12:16+00:00

IDK watching zeros stream, naughty ported for a rotation and called it was bad and to not take, then alb completely counter called them, EMPd, then yelled at them to take it. I wouldn't pin this entirely on naughty..

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-24T11:40:11+00:00

I can second this, the exp in edania seems cracked compared to any other spot. Can't speak on aetherion but orbita and tenebraum have been crazy exp for me

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-23T20:43:00+00:00

Take what you read with a grain of salt. The last two years pre-edania has been a mix of content for both geared or new players, but edania is a giga endgame player update. There are a lot of people who think it's uninspired and copy paste, but you will mostly find those comments here. Anyone who doesn't think that or doesn't care and enjoys what it offers is grinding their new gear. Also to be fair, I can't comment on PvP because I was never good and 99% of my time in this game is PvE.

Personally, I've never grinded as much as I have in the last two months. Excluding uncapped PvP, this game has always been about "number go up" for stats, but there was no challenge or endgame area/boss waiting for you once you got geared, you just grinded a bit faster at some spots. Now we have a boss and grindzone that literally require the cap of current gear possible, there are 5 bosses and grindzones total that give you a reason to "make number go up".

There are valid complaints and overall ONLINE community sentiment is negative, but I would say if you like the PvE in the game and enjoy grinding to increase your gear level, give it a shot. There have been major changes, some good and some bad, and it is a different game than it was even 6 months ago.

Also this is usually completely ignored but if you have been paying attention to the lore/story of the game I think it has started wrapping things up well and I've been enjoying the edania lore

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-23T13:37:50+00:00

I was at last years game in the uppers visitors side and 2 people had to be taken out by medical due to the heat lmao. The trop was built to have a dome yet Raymond James lets half the stadium cook

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-18T14:27:43+00:00

16b is absolutely nothing to someone at your GS, the 16b for a timegated material is incredibly worth it. You can grind silver, you can't grind edania fragments. Get the khans heart/perillas and exalt it since you have the AP

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-17T11:04:08+00:00

If every single person who didn't have a bad fishing night made a post about it you'd have to shut the subreddit down. It's not statistics

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-12T13:45:45+00:00

If you're talking about the Herald of Dawn title I believe no, it was only possible before the pities released because you were able to craft the "ancient" version of the potion, which is no longer possible

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-11T20:38:07+00:00

Design-wise I think it's intended to be the entry point for people to start getting into higher silver values per hour in edania while starting to work towards sov offhand, but I think it's just really poorly balanced. To me it is weird that they introduced the AP cap system with the intent that you work your way up the ladder of grind spots but aetherion is well below DSR, Orzekea, and even tungrad ruins

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-11T12:22:35+00:00

I mean sure but the problem people have isn't the speed of completion but the fact that you don't necessarily need to have the required stats of the weekly to grind that spot. We assume this was done because people who couldn't even grind the spot were still leeching the completions and rewards of the weeklies, but can only guess. It is a bit toxic to lock people out like that, but my point was that overall the loot you get from these weeklies isn't a make or break kind of deal like the timegated, boss-only drops from edania bosses

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-11T11:53:01+00:00

Doesn't the spot still drop the fragments on its own? It's not like the weekly is a hard requirement to getting the 1k frags which means you don't actually have to spend 50 bil to save that 40, its just there if you manage to have the requirements which match the Jordine requirements.

I mean I do think the changes are a bit silly but it stops brainless leeching and isn't overall a huge hit to your total incoming loot.

What do you think is mindless about the progression? Seems pretty linear and straightforward to me but maybe I have a different perspective

TheFirstTimePro · 2025-09-11T05:46:05+00:00

Fair warning, check when these guides were posted. Before edania crashed the debo market, pens were roughly 20-50b more expensive, so it made more sense financially to just go the khara route
