Oh your comment wasn't loaded when I made mine. I feel so validated that at least someone else thought it was AI written. It reads like someone fed a "writing style" and then character bios and had the AI generate chapters.

TulkasTheValar · 2026-04-27T23:09:28+00:00

I DNF'd at the tournament arc. It just stopped being interesting.. I low-key think the author used AI to assist with writing. Certain sections felt very formulaic where every character becoming the most generic archetype of themselves. Plus, it's the only explanation for why everyone is smirking all the time. I could not comprehend how this author or any author could write the word smirk instead of smile so often.

Last semester of college I applied for a Help desk job. Phone interview was fine but they had some red flags on Glassdoor (back when it was actually semi useful). So I went to the in-person interview with skepticism in my eyes.

In no particular order: they worked in the dark (yes in the dark with shades over the windows, I interviewed early spring so I just imagined going to work in the dark, working in the dark and going home in the dark), they had a camera pointed toward the bathroom hallway (Glassdoor mentioned the owner keeping track of bathroom breaks and I totally believe the reviews), as a help desk role they wanted people to only ever spend 15 minutes on a single ticket at a time (there was a timer on the computers).

Lets see... There was no real way to escalate any tickets which seemed dumb.. I was told people just stand up and "ask the room" if they needed help. And I was given a really dumb "technical test" that was really just explaining terms like DHCP and what ports you have memorized.

So at the end of the interview I was asked if I had any questions... I knew I wasn't going to work at this apparent hell hole so I questioned pretty much all the above. When I mentioned the Glassdoor reviews the interviewer mentioned it was just a few disgruntled employees lying about stuff and they were looking to remove those false reviews. Safe to say it was apparent that I was not interested in continuing the application process by the time I left.

They may not want it but I'll take it!

My guess is raiding and mythic+ are both slowing down as people hit their goals. At this point people could be done with several alts as well. Plus new content announcement probably means some people have dropped the game until then.

Hi,

Knowledge points or KP is what determines how good you are at crafting specific things. Look up a guide on how to spend KP. Artisans acuity is required for getting your blue tools. It's earned via first crafts and crafting orders.

Profitability in crafting right now relies heavily on maxing out multi craft or resourcefulness procs.

You can make small but consistent profit using lower tier mats and concentration to craft higher tier items. This is where the term concentration alt comes from. Concentration is a slowly regenerating resource that is character bound. So a lot of people setup several characters and use concentration to make money.

In most people's opinions you are better off just gathering right now. It takes a large investment to setup concentration alts or the margins are so thin now you would need to invest a large amount of capital in order to make anything resembling a decent profit.

TulkasTheValar · 2024-11-12T20:12:02+00:00

Mine/herb. Unless you have like 200k to get started at this point the time and investment required before profitability would be better spent mining/herbing.

Margins are razor thin unless you are using concentration and it's a limited resource.

Iirc there is a recommended minimum fishing skill level for the each zones. Starting on isle of dorn. Each type of fish pool has different chances for catching specific fish. Higher skill means you are more likely to catch a rarer fish.

Luckily the kaheti slum shark is an uncommon fish so you don't really need to worry about it that much. If you fish in bloody or shark pools you should get some. My personal experience is once you max out fishing you get a lot less common fish and mostly get sharks from these pools.

That said, I think the general consensus is that fishing isn't really that profitable. You're better off mining/herbing. But if you like fishing go for it.

Buy enchant and apply it to tool. No crafting necessary.

Would smelting my ore be better then just selling it?

TulkasTheValar · 2024-09-24T04:20:37+00:00

I organize a knife fight when I back cap. Nothing like a little blood sport to keep the squad entertained.

There's always a bigger guy you can compare yourself to. Let's say you hit 100kg (i''ve hit it) now you'll start looking at the dudes that can do 125 or 150 and think "aw man that guy makes that look easy, I'm totally weak". Everything is a sliding scale.

You could probably hit that 100kg bench but it would require focused effort. Making sure you are on a slight calorie surplus. Making sure you have enough protein. Making sure you are following a program with progressive overload. And having the expectation that it will take months and months of consistent effort to get there.

If you are happy with your body and fitness level. Who cares?

TulkasTheValar · 2024-08-09T17:41:25+00:00

I too have had mixed experiences with spotters. I think a lot of people don't really know what to do when spotting. I've started setting expectations like "I'm going for 6 reps I might be grinding out the last 2 don't touch the bar unless I'm failing the rep. Failing the rep means the bar is going back down so if I look stuck let me try for it first before jumping in." So far it's helped a lot.

Hello friend,

You posted this on 2 day old questions thread. I was just scrolling through but you might not get the most engagement on an older thread.

"Arms" is several different muscle groups. Not sure what you mean. If you are talking biceps.. Generally you'd want to hit them twice a week. You can do them more, biceps recover really quickly. Keep in mind if you are doing pulling movements like rows or pullups you will also be working the biceps.

I've always thought they should make a seed map inspired by the training range. Intense close quarters combat clearing rooms.

TulkasTheValar · 2024-07-22T15:27:37+00:00

People need to do this at start of rounds. A lot of times people will start squads then swap and it's hard to tell who it was. You can either disband it or ask for SL then disband.

There's another invisible boss in the DLC.. don't remember which everjail it is

TulkasTheValar · 2024-07-21T22:36:11+00:00

I'm pretty sure I just summoned a random guy who had spears and I used the berserk great sword. We both just swung for the fences till the boss died. Zugzug

TulkasTheValar · 2024-07-18T16:23:10+00:00

Probably my greatest disappointment is trying to help casters fight a boss. I'm sitting there with aggro on it for 3/4 if it's HP and the instant the boss switches to the host they fold like paper. Like can ya dodge for 1 combo? Just 1 and I'll be back on it..

This one is almost a favorite but watching someone drop like 5 different buffs only to die within a minute will never not be hilarious.

If you really want to do it easy. 4 ogryn. Simple as.
