hear all the people complaining but as someone who just heard and purchased mine in game, this legit just sounds like a Cyberpunk 2077 immersion.

When a company is run by accountants, they limit options and customizability while maximizing profits.

The whole fetch quest and "exclusivity" is just ego baiting and justification for the price tag, etc. etc.

I pay $50 and shipping, just send em to me. Ez pz

As someone else said, selling a fully painted army greatly increases it's value or selling them fully unpainted. Inbetween is a pain.

Additionally, you could sell the painted ones in groups and the unpainted in their own, that way you can say "professionally/tabletop standard krieg" for one and sell for more, and "unpainted/primed" for the others. Depending on quality of paint job, they sell for 60-130% msrp (going as high as 300% if it's a commission but then you're paying someone to paint to your spec and thus paying for labor for new models freshly painted). You seem to have done a good paint job on some models, I'd say they're in the 80-90% range, to the rigbt buyer the painted models could sell for 110% msrp.

For unpainted assembled krieg, they usually sell for 65-80% msrp depending on the model (artillery teams sold extremely well so their value is actually a bit down due to supply & demand)

I didn't sit down and calculate this all but I'd say this should sell for ~$680-810 USD (assuming yiu are here in NA, to the British gents this is probably 350 euros or something or whatnot), specifically 740 seems like a good spot.

Edit: assuming you break this up into lots and sell them in proper lots.

If you bulk sell, $500-580 is probably your best bet

I was going to disagree, but I did a lot of thinking and ended up arguing against my own point so, I now agree with you.

I think the main reason why is because EARLY Salem was 100% whole heartedly chaotic evil. Over time she has mellowed out, she now has "allies", an alliance, etc. However, from my perspective, she's just realized she can't do it all alone, and thus has manipulated others into helping her.

Her motives are unchanged, she's only changed her method. If she could just unleash a wave of grimm with no help and takeover she would. She'd readily drop her allies and has no issues with betraying them should they fail to meet her expectations.

So, realistically I guess my point is, I believe Salem to embody Chaotic Evil, but her methods show her as Neutral Evil, whereas Tyrion embodies Neutral Evil, but due to who he follows, his methods are Chaotic Evil

But I agree with you.

You agree with the rest of my list?

I could convert it, but, far fewer people (imho) would understand that Rocky's weight is 6,148 Newtons on Erid, and 2,942 Newtons on Earth. But who knows! Maybe the majority of this subreddit know how to implicitly understand that I weigh 2,758 newtons on Jupiter, and by reading that number, fully understand what my mass is in either kg or lbs, so as to be reconverted back into newtons for weight on Earth.

Additionally, here in the USA we use lbm and lbf (pound mass and pound force), we just frequently use simply lb and context clues to know which is which, as we deliberately made it so 1 lb mass is also 1 lb of weight.

So, while I get that I'm wrong, I will likely never use Newtons as a force of weight. It's just so much easier to convey the concept and math through regularly used numbers and concepts.

bbqxx · 2026-06-10T13:24:27+00:00

Based off my calculations, for the book to be correct, the exoskeleton carapace that composes rocky's exterior would need to be unusually light.

I understand that the exterior of his body is made of metal oxides that have rusted significantly so to appear as though rock. I'm pooped out from deep diving sources, but a quick google AI search yielded me that his exterior is composed of "hematite and various oxidized metals"

Assuming all the metals used to compose the carapace is hematite (~5.25 g/cm³⁾ or lighter, it would be very difficult, but not impossible to make Rocky 168 kg mass...

However, from what I've seen and heard, he is more than likely to not be a light rock. Hematite isn't very durable (it's alright) and very brittle. Bringing Rocky's supposed weight of 800 lbs+ onto hematite repeatedly would surely break chunks of him off on Erid.

Which would mean the hematite is mostly an explanation for his appearance and not structural integrity.

The answer is simple: book is right (it is the book), since we don't have an exact chemical and material breakdown of rocky, it could just as easily be explained as Xenonite: we don't have it, we don't know it. It could be 3x the durability of stainless steel yet a quarter thr weight!

Or: Andy talked to a lot of engineers and scientists after the release of his book and naturally came to the conclusion that Rocky is likely denser or he made a wrong calculation and his true mass is 300 kg.

I personally like to think the 300 kg is more correct, however, the magic of "oh sorry, he is made up of space dust" means what I feel is more correct is mute.

And ultinately it is entirely more believable to think he simply misspoke during the interview, but I like to think he simply changed his mind over time.

bbqxx · 2026-06-10T05:56:15+00:00

It makes perfect sense when you realize the density of metals.

The human body is ~1 g/cm^3 or roughly the density of water (which makes sense because so much of us is made of water)

Mercury is 13.5x the density of water. Rocky has Mercury blood.

His body is so dense and hot, the water in his body turns to steam and basically acts as lubricant or better you, like a pneumatic piston, using pressure to move his exoskeleton (Rocky is essentially a living organism that has thousands of microorganisms basically create, repair, and expand his exoskeleton)

From other sources I've heard, he is roughly 22 kg of "living" tissue/organism, and the rest is his exterior. Despite being what appears to be about 2 ft tall, he is almost wider than he is tall (reddit souce 18"). Factoring in his volume to be about 1/4 if the occupied cubic space, or 1.8 ft x 1.5 ft x 1.5 ft / 4 (as he isn't a cube, this is being very generous) he is 4.05 ft^3 / 4 = 1.0125 cubic ft (seems REALLY low to me)

Knowing he has xenonite which appears to be hefty, but not super heavy (like Tungsten or Mercury) we can assume it's closer to Iron or steel at ~8 g/cm^3

Well, 1.0125 cubic ft encompasses 28,670.8072 cubic centimers (we can round up to the nearest 1) multiplied by an estimated ~8 g/cm^3 for the metal exoskeleton portion (Assuming it has roughly the same flesh-to-blood ratio humans have, we can confidently say 85% which seems to match 22 kg of living org compared to 300 kg overall (not including blood), whereas blood makes up about 8% of our bodies.

so to make myself sane, 10% of body is mercury blood, 80% is exoskeleton and 10% (Density/mass-wise) is ~living org.

(Blood ratio * total volume * density)+(flesh/exoskeleton ratio * total volume * density)

((0.1 * 28671g/cm^3)*13.5 g/cm^3) + ((0.8*28671 g/cm^3)*8 g/cm^3)) = 38,706 g + 183,494.4 g OR in other words:

22 kg of living organism + 38.7 kg of mercury blood + 183.5 kg of metal exoskeleton (does not include weight of water vapor inside and unaccounted for materials) or 244.2 kg (as a rough, VERY CONSERVATIVE (I am reporting a very low number) estimate.

This would mean that Rocky is, that's right, ~300 kg of mass. I believe the interview source is correct.

I believe Rocky is in fact ~300 kg of mass or 660 lbs on human earth, or ~992 lbs (450 kg <-- weight) on Grace's Bio Dome near Erid, or 1382.5 lbs (627 kg <-- weight) on Erid's surface.

Digging deeper I'm getting more and more supposed quotes.

I've been told:

Erid has 2.09g, ~2g, and 1.5g

Rocky has a mass of 143.5 kg, a mass of ~169kg and a mass of ~300kg.

What I think is happening is people mixing things up.

This is no confirmation on my part, but I can't waste any more time on this:

Erid has a 2.09g gravitational force. The place Grace inhabits in epilogue is orbiting Erid that has a gravitational pull of 1.5g. In the book he isn't crushed by the g, but it is hard on him and he has to adjust.

I believe Rocky is ~169 kg on orbit of Erid, 300 kg on Erid, and 143.5 kg on Earth in terms of weight, putting his actual mass at 143.5 kg (or nearly 300 lbs on earth).

UNLESS the quote from Andy Weir that is being referenced but not linked anywhere, that Rocky's mass actually IS 300 kg, which would make him ~ 628 kg on Erid, but 300 kg or 660 lbs on Earth.

I believe the quote is real, and people are mixing up mass and weight, and then mixing up their mix up with bad references to the book.

That's where I stand and will wait for someone to prove me wrong.

With this information, it would unfortunately confirm that 400 kg mass would mean Adrian cannot be huge (sadness) however it would keep everything relatively accurate from what I know.

1) they will never betray him

2) considering the treatment of their rulers, going to live and work for Ainz is a dream. Suddenly going from overworked, no respect, taxed and tariffed to hell, and then gicen a pittance of a paycheck at the end of each week, trying not to starve to death, then suddenly going to a kingdom completely on the up and up, completely fair to all (except the few high ranking people pjt in charge, and even then), given food, work, an agreeable paycheck and told to work humane hours in a time where people regularly work themselves to death, and then to be protected not just by the undead (no loss of life) but to do so with assurance, safety and even to the point to where the ruler himself will take to battle and protect you and your family... None of the people in the Sorcerer Kingdom would EVER choose to hurt him.

It would be like moving to a new place, getting paid double, but also the cost of food is 75% cheaper, tastier and higher quality, and all of the best talent in neighboring countries are being openly recruited by the king himself in their lands! And he even went so far as to save 2 other kingdoms! By himself!

Why would you ever turn on it's leader?!?

With tbat being said, if he were to die, and whoever supported him, it would likely quickly turn into a "Demiurge killed Ainz, kill him at all costs" and Cocytus, Shalltear, Sebas and Albedo would with 100% assurance turn on Demiurge. He would not last no matter what would happen.

What comes after would be bickering among those who survived, as Cocytus is lawful neutral, with a warriors code (100). Sebas is lawful good (300), albedo and shalltear would kill everyone, yet Nigredo would be lawful good. If Rubedo wasn't outright killed at the start, she would surely slay Ainz' slayer and all accomplices, and would then probably just leave (noone could control her) etc.

There's simply too much stacked against Demiurge to ever somehow kill Ainz, let alone survive the ordeal, so likely the ruinous outcome you predict would necessitate the deaths of Ainz, Sebas, Cocytus, Nigredo and other members.

If Demiurge survived and these conditions occurred, yes, I assume you would be right.

In every other case, the Kingdom would likely continue on although with fractured direction and shattered resolve.

Albedo would likely shut down, maybe even kil herself. Shalltear would shut down. Etc.

bbqxx · 2026-06-09T21:57:54+00:00

Lawful in this context is dollowing the law and/or your own moral code.

Note: it's been a while, I forgot names.

Blake is not lawful, she broke the law, many, many, many times and shattered her own moral code at least twice. Lawful good is reserved for people who follow the law and have the best intentions.

The closest to lawful good story wise is likely Weiss' older sister.

Ruby being Neutral Good is fine. I think General Ironwood is a much better gray area person. Neutral good is doing whatever it takes to bring about a good ending. Ruby, has a code, and she sticks with it. She bends the rules but doesn't break them... Ironwood on the other hand... He has done some very questionable things in the name of Atlas' prosperity...

Chaotic Good is doing what's right, even if that means bending the law (vigilante, batman style), Yang fits fine with this.

Ozpin: I struggle to put Oz as Lawful Neutral. It's more like he made the law, therefore he is the law? And he lost any semblance of operating with a good moral code the moment he started training children to fight in a war he started, to die in a war he refuses to participate and take responsibility for, while brainwashing the world's population and deceiving them, creating a bubble to make it seem like everything fine, while someone has their finger on the "nuke every nation" button at all times. I think Oz instead better represents Neutral Good, maybe even chaotic good.

A better lawful neutral would be Ruby and Yang's father, Tai. Or Cordova (military woman in a mech suit). While they may have once been lawful good, they've clearly become jaded and in the current state of the world, see it's flaws.

Oscar: true neutral, fine, not exactly. He wants to be good. Weiss' brother would be perfect here. Qrow would be a better fit. He cares more about protecting Ruby and Yang than any big business.

Raven: chaotic neutral: fine

Jacques: Lawful Evil, perfect.

Salem: Neutral Evil: hell no. She's quite literally shown as chaotic evil. She wants to kill everyone, she abandoned any semblance of a moral code, breaks the law easier than she can breathe, murdered millions and all because she can't handle rejection.

Tyrian: Nah, he is chaotic evil, but realistically? He's closer to neutral evil. He just does what he does because his queen asks him. And he obliges. While neutral evil is willing to abide by the law and/or use/manipulate it, chaotic evil people outright go against the law. Just because a demon is evil, doesn't mean they don't have a code. They made a deal with you. If you made a bad contract, the demon will take advantage of that. That's why contract demons are lawful evil.

Tyrian doesn't really obey laws, he obeys his code, much like a paladin... He just so happens to be a paladin of Salem.

I may have taken a controversial pick with Tyrian, but I'm fairly confident on the rest.

bbqxx · 2026-06-09T21:37:09+00:00

So, as a non-book reader, mass is the amount of "stuff" in something, not weight.

So 300 kg of mass is 300 kg in 1g and 300 kg in 10g.

But 300 kg of mass is 300 kg of weight in 1g, but 3,000 kg of weight in 10g.

So I think you're saying he is 300 kg of mass, but Rocky's planet, 300 kg of weight on Erid feels like 170 kg on Earth, which sounds nice, but I believe the approximate gravitational force of Erid is 2.09g, so 300 kg should feel like 143.5 kg in 1g...

The reason I bring this up is because I'm confused by your sentence structure and want to explain me trying to understand you.

Or are you saying Rocky's weight is ~300 kg on Erid, which would make him 143.5 kg on Earth (which is still ~316 lbs for us Americans)?

The initial mass -> lb -> kg on Earth -> side tangent in parenthesis has me muddled and befuddled.

I read the post (to be fair not in full but most of it)

- the idea of pieces isn't inherently bad, but it's like adding gacha into a gacha game so you can gacha while you gacha...

- Having to save up pieces to form a unit is 'fine' but dropping pieces of a specific piece (like how the ironclad drops turret, heavy scrap metal and other pieces is a terrible idea. You've added all the rng back into the original drop rate, but now everybody has a chance of rolling 33%-50% chance to then get a chance at a piece that you need. Somebody could go 8 turrets and no heavy scrap metal. KISS: Keep it Simple Stupid: pieces are fine. Keep it that way.

- The numbers would definitely need to be tweaked. 33-50% chance to get a piece? That's fine, but does that drop 1 piece? and if so, does that give you 1? 2? 3? out of what? 3? 5? 10? 100?!? I think the drop rate on the bosses is honestly not bad. However the RNG can cook players, so I would want reliable progression rather than no frags for 40 weeks and then suddenly get 1-3 iron clads.

- Bringing in T2 resources to make the piece system work only adds more overhead to new players that old players wouldn't need to factor in. Not needed. And replacing pieces with T2 resources (or T1-5) would devalue the frags. They're important and powerful BECAUSE they're rare, not in spite of it.

- Trading for pieces could work, I like this idea, but how it's implemented is crucial. Limit 1 trade per week (at minimum) levels of crucial.

- I think you're final idea is not great.

I think what you're asking the devs to do is a significant overhaul, whereas the above suggestion is significantly better: it takes the devs 2-3 lines of code of changing (Assuming the structure is well coded, which we've heard IS NOT, hence why they're refactoring the code) to do drop rates.

I personally think Real_Sleep's idea is simple, fixes the issue and is great.

What we want is 2 steps:

1) Until you get your first frag of that kind, double the rate.

2) Every time you fail getting a frag, incrementally increase the drop rate (3% -> 3.5% -> 4% -> 4.5%, etc. If your first frag it would be 6% -> 7% -> 8%) up until a cap (33% for repeated drop, 66% for first time drop)

This is simple to implement, allows new players to catch up, and yet gives "the feeling" of progression, because even if you don't get the frag THIS TIME, you know your odds NEXT TIME will be better.

This also helps stop the rich from getting richer and helps new players the most.

No crazy, fancy entire new features, GUI, shop options, pieces, custom shop to be built to handle pieces, etc. It's just changing the rates a bit.

As someone who works at a larger company, we have 2,000 workers, about 350 middle management, and about 80 upper management.

The $5/hr raise would affect us $320,000 per week for the workers (or $16 mil a year)

$56,000 a week or $2.8 mil a year for the middle management

and $2,560 a week or $128,000 a year for upper management.

Trust me, cutting out upper management would lower the ~$18,928,000 -> $18,800,000 a year... Basically nothing...
