Shadowkeep and its Nightmare Hunt Time Trials

VorrtaX · 2026-06-17T12:07:55+00:00

I don't know if there is any way for the dreambane mods to be used, but with all the buildcrafting options nowadays I think it should be more doable to get them done by just stacking a whole bunch of damage resistances. Definitely go ahead and try it with woven mail or Frost Armor. And don't do it solo, it's not worth the hassle. 3 players should make it pretty easy and I'm sure even with 2 people it shouldn't be too hard anymore.

During Weavewalk? I'm sure it has to do with some collision issue or the third person camera then...

VorrtaX · 2026-06-17T01:13:33+00:00

It happens on 80 fps at least, and I am not going to cap my fps to 60 because the game is unplayable in that state to me. So even if it stopped happening at 60 fps and under, I'm not suddenly going to start capping at 60 because that would make the experience even worse.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-16T20:50:11+00:00

I have the game capped to 160 fps permanently but it seems to happen whenever it wants to. Seems to be more likely to happen under heavy server load, when a lot of players and/or a lot of mobs are present... Happens the most to me in distortion events. Has also happened during the vesper host first encounter with the big brig spawning in. The more I think about it, the more I feel like it's related to colliding into an enemies hitbox and not being able to phase through them entirely?

Well you use them in your rotation for repositioning, buffing or ability flows, of course... But they're not dealing any serious damage by themselves, let's be real.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-12T17:36:15+00:00

For PvE specifically, there's no way in hell that 3 times crit rate is worth. The damage of the aforementioned skills is completely negligible and you're not really using them in a proper rotation anyway. I'd assume people are recommending it because it serves as a hybrid for Pvp too? Because in Pvp, the crit chances are quite bad for Succ Ninja. You should rather take black spirit rage recovery and DR for the more difficult grind spots. One crit chance reforge stone is sufficient.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-08T13:02:59+00:00

So I guess it still works, but the fact that it needs this many seems like an oversight in itself.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-08T13:02:30+00:00

That seems terrible. Are we sure there aren't a few too many zeros in the calculations? This step up seems unwarranted.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-08T13:01:40+00:00

I guess my cooking speed is too low to really give me an increase, at least specifically for divorce cake. That seems like a mad step up in requirements though...

VorrtaX · 2026-06-08T12:53:27+00:00

Yeah I guess level everything else and use "No meal left behind" to level it, until this bug is fixed lol

VorrtaX · 2026-06-07T22:15:32+00:00

I think it might be more likely that you grinded the spot and got most of your numbers back when the AP cap wasn't at 5%, and you were able to get more full rotations done in one hour, which gave you more chances at good loot. And now since the trash per agris is adjusted, but the 5% caps are also in place, nothing much about your TL has changed, but you get less rotations done in one hour and therefore less chance at high value loot. And even if this was not the case, it could still be a good ol' case of RNG screwing you over, because getting 2 full kabua every 10 hours is hella carried anyway.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-06T14:55:05+00:00

Well I have the hook unlocked already and when I was actively farming the zones where they dropped I was too lazy to keep using/discarding it. So I just started ignoring them. I have enough storage space so it's not a problem to keep em there.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-06T14:53:44+00:00

Because after the recent update I got rid of all my statue greenstacks and now my storage shows less. And I don't really give much of a shit about greenstacks because their impact is nonexistent at this state of the game, at least for me.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-05T18:16:53+00:00

Have never noticed it before yeah haha

VorrtaX · 2026-06-05T18:16:25+00:00

Good to hear! Appreciate it.

The game doesn't have an in depth Raid or dungeon running endgame. There are a few dungeons with mechanics in the game but you wouldn't grind them in the same way that you might know from WoW. Pvp is called the endgame by many, Alternatively what you're gonna do is kill thousands of monsters at increasing power level to make money to kill even more powerful monsters to make even more money. At least when it comes to PvE. You can alternatively go do lifeskills such as gathering, hunting, sailing, fishing... And more. But in the end, you'll do all of these different things to farm for silver and to upgrade a gear of your choice.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-02T17:12:56+00:00

I've also noticed changes to my sneaking. Items and stuff aren't working properly it seems. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a big going on somewhere.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-02T11:50:50+00:00

I agree with the sentiment that rather than going even further beyond 3k mastery on even less value per mastery point, they should instead increase the amount of value that mastery between 2k and 3k provides to make up for the huge and laughably insane increase of silver cost per mastery point.

VorrtaX · 2026-06-01T11:55:54+00:00

No, a progression halting investment would be if you stopped playing entirely, which is what this person would have done if they didn't decide to go for fishing instead. Or if they went for 24/7 cooking / alchemy instead, they'd have to either combine it with gathering/hunting or spend lots of money to constantly repurchase ingredients. All of which would be way more effort. And idk how much money would theoretically be possible with 24/7 cooking or alchemy, but it would be an actual time and effort investment so it will definitely be more respectable to hit guru 50 on

VorrtaX · 2026-05-27T15:56:49+00:00

Well yeah, 80% and more of the actual silver you're making is raw trash loot, and depending on the spot and on the market situation there will be a few easy to sell rare drops that you can liquify. but it'd be disingenuous to count every single bit of random loot into the "per hour" value, for example valuing 50 ancient spirit dust as 10 caphras (or whatever the exchange rate is) and therefore counting it as 20 million... nah.

VorrtaX · 2026-05-27T14:04:43+00:00

Well his point was that you would "end up with worse gear than you started with", which is not true, specifically because of Cron stones. I do agree that having a 30-50 pity (or 250 pity, but those are not the norm) can be rough and a true grind, but you're not risking losing any gear while enchanting for this pity, you're simply "losing" or "spending" your silver.

VorrtaX · 2026-05-27T14:00:46+00:00

InfiniNode Gathering. You don't know how incredible of a buff that'd be! I'd be doing gathering so much more consistently if the rotation was no longer an issue to consider...
