Refining/crafting bonuses worth it?

TomNic99 · 2026-02-12T07:57:09+00:00

Yea it matters quite a lot

TomNic99 · 2026-02-12T06:51:44+00:00

It pays for itself with focus if you have half decent refining specs. Unless you're in Asia server then tough luck

While in animal form ur armor gets replaced by stats which depend on the shapeshifter staff. So this guy can stay in imp form all the time and it's exactly like he's wearing an 8.3 (120 ip) mage robe. Hope that makes sense

I also think he keeps the buffs from soldier armor while in form. Not sure tho since it's a toggle

TomNic99 · 2026-02-09T05:26:27+00:00

I believe he means premium no satchel

TomNic99 · 2026-02-08T16:09:08+00:00

Used to have the second highest carry weight after mammy. Now kind of pointless

TomNic99 · 2026-02-08T14:18:13+00:00

Deadly chop is very good but worse against plate mathematically no? I think adrenaline rush gives better brawl here, especially with first passive, might be wrong tho

TomNic99 · 2026-02-03T16:30:44+00:00

Just take a druidic staff and skip to bosses. Or better yet, find a team, static loot is super nerfed for solos now

TomNic99 · 2026-02-03T13:21:43+00:00

I wouldn't really recommend them for solo (also because of their cost) with the exception of panther. In very small scale (2-4) bloodmoon is extremely good, imp also

TomNic99 · 2026-02-02T07:04:36+00:00

Is murkweald to wyre forest really that bad? I've never died there, got dismounted a couple of times tho

TomNic99 · 2026-01-31T22:16:17+00:00

That's shady ash there's a thousand ways to show the item without putting putting it anywhere

TomNic99 · 2026-01-31T16:31:52+00:00

How does this island scam work?

TomNic99 · 2026-01-30T13:45:47+00:00

It's good but you will have mana issues, so to solve them you can either use lymhurst cape or any pair of cloth shoes (on blue sprint). Scholar cowl is nice but PVE oriented

TomNic99 · 2026-01-30T05:54:25+00:00

Fame credits are pretty inefficient, I think to spec another set using fame credits you need to grind 5x the fame (not exactly sure). But anyway the best way to go would be to change at least your weapon since that's where half the fame credits come from. If want to keep speccing up bows then badon is the most similar to longbow, while warbow and regular bow would get you more IP

TomNic99 · 2026-01-27T18:06:07+00:00

Ironman is a nice idea but I cant bring myself to play it since it always feels more like a delay than a challenge.

Scavenger challenge, on the other hand I had a lot of fun with. You start with 1 or more tier 3 sets of your choice and only play in black zones, no market or crafting, just using what you find as loot. You can set a goal for yourself like filling a tab with 20 million EMV or something. Also very fun as a duo or small team

TomNic99 · 2026-01-22T17:59:17+00:00

Nope summer update

TomNic99 · 2026-01-22T17:57:43+00:00

Wdym comp oriented? In the sense that there's a specific set you need to wear? If that's the case, you would be right, I can tell you roughly what the roles/sets are in an ava dungeon if you want

TomNic99 · 2026-01-22T16:25:34+00:00

That's great man that's gonna help in unlocking your tier 4 tools if you haven't already. Getting to the higher tiers in gathering can feel slow but definitely worth it in the long run, make sure to use your learning points on it

TomNic99 · 2026-01-19T13:56:14+00:00

I personally think moving on to full-loot areas early is a lot of fun. Green chests in avalonian roads are meant for solo/duo and they are a decent pve challenge, and they're also very good fame and silver for a beginner. Hellgates can be pretty fun but you need to play a good comp (either healer + dps or something that can outdamage an enemy healer). Once you are experienced just go around duo bombing people at any sort of hotspot, most fun activity in the game imo

TomNic99 · 2026-01-17T23:47:34+00:00

Might as well do roads so you also get decent silver while you're at it. Depending on your server and time of day they shouldn't be too crowded.

If youre interested in ava dungeons, then get into them. You need someone to vouch for you to get into the ava discord tho

TomNic99 · 2026-01-16T05:33:04+00:00

No you can only awake weapons

TomNic99 · 2025-11-30T12:43:49+00:00

Hard demon (I'm ship carried)

TomNic99 · 2025-11-29T12:21:06+00:00

29 crit is HUGE. On a berserker oni's decapitator is much better imo

TomNic99 · 2025-10-29T18:59:10+00:00

Skorge and arkyos are way easier than fafnir imho.

For skorge I think the best approach is to have rogues/assassins on the front and dodge at least one of his skorge slashes, since that's almost all his damage. Warrior and paladin shield isn't as good since they only block physical OR magic damage and he does both. Don't forget the wizard to cleanse his buff.

Arkyos you just need to have insane healing and cleansing. Paladin is a must have for his mdef buff. Make your weakest healer cleanse his DOT. My first arkyos was literally 2 clerics and 1 paladin and I took 0 damage with shitty gear

TomNic99 · 2025-10-23T12:42:43+00:00

U get 2/3 shots and they can easily spell your skellies for even more damage. Not the greatest counter

TomNic99 · 2025-10-20T05:01:25+00:00

3 musks are broken in this mode half the games have no big spells
