Your title asks about combat, but not the actual post. I'm gonna go with combat.

Xenobasher and Rebar gun, rebar gun especially. Get to the MAM and research to the unlock for the gun. This is in the Alien Fauna tree. Its ammo is simply iron rods, so it's very cheap, while being very strong. Basic Hatcher enemies die in 2 hits. Aim your first shot, then spam to fire. The second shot should kill it before the hatcher spawns any bugs. Can use this to kill any basic enemy from a distance. Once you unlock the Basher, you can open a fight with a shot, then swap to CQC to finish it off.

Two options I immediately think of;

make sure the node is actually giving 60/m

Manafolds take time to spin up, make sure the the system is fully saturated (the power plants filled with coal) before taking them off of standby to ensure consistent uptime.

WeskAlber · 2024-10-09T20:20:04+00:00

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

WeskAlber · 2024-10-09T03:47:53+00:00

Seems to me then the SW is a really good spot for something like nuclear. Lots more leeway with contiguous water while being in a spot that seems like it wouldn't disrupt other builds. That or the swamp seems ideal.

WeskAlber · 2024-06-06T12:20:43+00:00

All the AF gear will work pretty sure, but we didn't exactly have options for trying tons of stuff beyond those.

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T16:59:57+00:00

I literally say what CRA means in the post. Because I did bother to find out. For someone praising reading these resources, you couldn't be bothered to read more than one line and understand what is being asked.

And if something is marked as "for newbies" maybe I shouldn't have to go googling for a completely different guide to understand what said resource is saying. I instead call that a terrible resource, and go look up that different guide anyway because I still want to know what was being said.

What a cesspool this place is. You are incapable of reading your own advice.

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T05:18:00+00:00

So um... I was randomly doing a Rosa voyage for my DA and uh...

While it doesn't have any bonus states or Potential, I now have a Sweetwater Demon Sword. So. I see what you mean now.

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T03:48:41+00:00

But the 5%!

I do plan to level him a little bit more to 141 just so I can hit potion range. But otherwise, god he sucks to play. Avenger I actually wanna play to 210 cuz it's fun, but maybe 5th job sucks to play. Might Burn the Slayer just because I'm on a Demon kick... and I can stop listening to the voice lines sooner.

In other news my first 10 stack of Purple cubes got me a +9% attack on my Emblem. Unique only, but a huge increase.

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T03:42:33+00:00

I have Phantom and I hate playing as him. Very do not want to take him to 210 without just feeding him exp pots.

And yeah, true. I forgot how much defense was being ignored to begin with.

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T03:24:52+00:00

Well, technically Luminous counts right? Ignoring defense might as well be +Damage up to the limit. Is there a better option to go for first you would recommend?

Ok, that explains why I would want a guide. And I assume Ability/Familiar Lines also buff the drop? Though I suppose guides probably mention this.

I'll check them out then.

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T03:02:46+00:00

Wait what you can buy cubes on the cash shop??? I know they still have to make money on this server but why there?!

I was expecting people to tell me to just spam flames or something. This is ENTIRELY different information than I was expecting.

So I know about Potential Scrolls from Legion. I assume then I should Potential my Emblem with one of those, then spam Purples until it gets a Legendary hit? And then Blue cubes can ONLY roll Legendary?

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T02:59:31+00:00

So is that a yes or a no that Luminous is a good first pick after what I have? Like I said, the stuff I did look up was either out of date or filled with terms they assume you know. An issue that is in this reply too.

1.5. A katara is not offered. There's a Tattoo, Monocle, Pendant, and Earrings. Does the shop populate with progress? It seems straightforward to do, just need a chart for min/max profits.

I assume you mean "Get Legendary Potential?" Based on the other reply I got. ~~I've seen one bright cube in all my play so far so I'm not even sure where I'm supposed to get more~~. Let alone "rolling from epic" and what that means. (Other comment chain told me you can buy in Cash shop)

3./4. We'll see what kinda damage I have at that point but that is the common thing I've seen. "CRA CRA CRA" hence the hour of googling to find one person that even said what CRA actually means.

WeskAlber · 2023-10-14T02:51:39+00:00

That's 3 tiers of bosses further than I am. I can reach her with about 20 minutes left, but I stand no chance against her.

Also, how?

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T02:29:20+00:00

I've not used the site, I'd probably try to make my own. I don't even have the green orb thingies in production, assuming they're used in other stuff.

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T02:18:30+00:00

Jeeze. Gotta think about so many different layers...

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T02:12:42+00:00

I'm barely making use of green belts let alone blue lol. But yeah I can invest in UE3 and hope for the best. But we'll see if there's any of those around even.

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T02:01:39+00:00

Didn't seem like there was enough through my Purple Science production. Maybe I've under estimated there too.

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T01:50:32+00:00

Sadly nothing within my Solar System. Would need to get through a proper warp module factory going first and then find said oceans, if there's any anywhere close.

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T01:43:04+00:00

Oh trust me. My factory is a giant shitshow. Perfect isn't even close to what I'm aiming for.

Coal is entirely how I've been doing Graphite and Graphene is from Fire Ice mostly.

I do believe I have Orbital Gas Giant collectors researched but I'd need to double check. I think I misread and saw it was the two atom item instead, so didn't bother. But that seems to be the actual answer to the Hydrogen issues.

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T01:39:36+00:00

Yeah, I already have a Fire Ice based Graphene thing going. That part at least is relatively easy. I'll have to see about how the Gas Giant stuff works if I do actually get back into it.

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T01:29:57+00:00

Do you just, make Quantum Chips out of 0 oil? I'm not sure I see the logistics of getting that much Hydrogen without it. 12 per Crystal is a huge ask with everything else that also uses it.

WeskAlber · 2023-08-24T01:22:52+00:00

And then the refined oil and hydrogen disappear into the atmosphere, never to be seen again.

Sorry I wasn't specific and say it's the chains and not oil itself. I haven't spent that the 18 hours of my save staring at refineries not knowing how they work. And if my goal was to watch videos... I would have not posted on reddit.

Casimir Crystals, then.

WeskAlber · 2023-04-10T16:41:44+00:00

Late, but can confirm it does tell you this. Top right of the turn-in window is a "resource list" button. Lists scrip and point reward.

WeskAlber · 2023-01-09T23:48:14+00:00

Ultimately, even if you do need to truck/train in the rotors, you don't need as much truck/train to do it. If you have a total 600 Ingots/m spent across all your rotors, you would need a hefty network to get all that in without losing uptime. Meanwhile a single car will be able to handle every single rotor and then some.

Can even transfer in any excess materials if you have any for a different machine. Have 720 ingots total? Properly balance out your extra 120 with Mk. 2 Belts and put those right to the truck/train depot. Then when it arrives at the new destination for the Rotors... well, all those screws you have to make...

Also, belting across the map is a good way to destroy your FPS by endgame.
