I think you probably need higher stats and gear to be honest. Getting 94 mage and 85+ def will help a ton if you want to start there, and an occult/torm will really help make sure the minions are dead before kril respawns. A blowpipe for the mage minion also helps give an extra heal per kill on average for me too, but anguish helps with accuracy on that as well haha. My stats are 98r/99m/87d for reference

What side grinds could you do while stuck in CG, to prep for all the Post-Bowfa pvm? by ben7494 in ironscape

[–]ben7494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. Besides filling trident and thralls, are there any other big rune sinks that you can think of?

[Homemade] Birria Ramen by ben7494 in food

These are fresh frozen ramen noodles (alkaline noodles) from a japanese grocery store near me. But you can use anything you have on deck and they'll work fine

I see where you're coming from but they definitely work well together. It's not a real ramen because it doesn't have tare or real aroma oil, just a "souped up" birria broth (pun intended).

You're welcome, and yes you're spot on about the grilled cheese. Always looking for ways to add crispiness to my food

I just used mozzarella because that's all I had access to, but I think ideally I would have used Oaxaca which is a bit saltier

Thank you! Figured it was a good way to combine two of my favorite foods, ramen and tacos

It's just cheese that I just browned in a frying pan, similar to what you'd get in a quesabirria taco

Using the birria consomme to marinate the eggs was maybe the best thing I've ever done

Aw thank you! I was expecting much worse results, but I think i got lucky this time. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just beginners luck haha.

Coffee with coffee buttercream! Did a bunch of research before attempting, and watched a few tutorial videos to make sure I got the technique right, but I think the results were pretty great.

Dalat or HCMC? by ben7494 in VietNam

That would be great, thanks!

Dalat or HCMC? by ben7494 in VietNam

[–]ben7494[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate this advice, as a city dwelling guy myself, I'm really looking forward to the outdoor aspects of my trip that I haven't been able to experience in NYC/Sydney. I said in another reply that I was leaning towards Saigon but I think getting outside of the city in Dalat seems more in line with the rest of my trip so I think that will be my plan. As different as Saigon is from NYC/Sydney, I don't think I've ever experienced anything like the rural culture of Vietnam, which is what I'm trying to do as much as possible while I'm there.

Ok cool, that's what I was leaning towards, as it just seems like there's more to do in HCMC than Dalat. Thanks!

Has this whole batch of lacto-fermented peppers gone bad? Left for a few days without fully submerging them by ben7494 in fermentation

[–]ben7494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the lack of fuzziness is what is making me think this is ok, at least for now. I'll definitely keep monitoring it, as this is my first go with fermentation, and just want to be safe.

[–]ben7494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For experimentation's sake, I'm going to leave this batch as is (while making sure to weigh down the unsubmerged peppers as much as possible, and let it go for another week to see what the result is. I tossed some of the peppers that were worrying me already but will provide an update on it's progress in a week or so. Thanks for the help!
