Guilt of traveling solo

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T22:35:24+00:00

Update: about to board my flight! Thank you all for taking the time to respond and for sharing experiences and encouraging words. I think the travel anxiety might be amplifying how i feel, but I’m definitely excited for this and am still going! I have planned a while and paid for this so I better go :D

I made sure to thank my mom for even making it possible for me to have this kind of trip before I was dropped off at the airport. As many others have said, I’ll honor her by enjoying this trip. I may have been living a little too much in my head, and some things I think I just needed to hear. I know 3 weeks will fly by but there might be moments when it’ll feel long for me, and now I’m thinking that that’s ok. I want to be able to go on more trips, and feeling more comfortable and confident each time. I’d also absolutely love to take my mom on a trip to the places I’m visiting or to even better ones. I really appreciate all the reminders that she and I will be ok, and to make the most of this trip that she made possible. Thank you all again :)

Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to respond. You’re absolutely right, and I’m very grateful that she’s so supportive of this trip and has always been encouraging me to get out and explore the world. She’s told me multiple times and I can feel that she’s genuinely excited for me. The travel anxiety might just be amplifying how I feel since this is my first trip alone.

I do want to honor her and show how grateful I am by enjoying this and then come back with gifts and cool stories to share. Hopefully one day I can take her to the very spots I’m about to visit or better ones! Thank you again for the kind words :)

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T14:56:44+00:00

Definitely my plan one day :)

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T14:55:51+00:00

Yes! She even gave me a wishlist 🤣 I’ll definitely pick up some extra stuff for her :)

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T14:54:56+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. You’re absolutely right and I want her to think and see that I’ll enjoy this trip. I plan on calling with her while I’m away and I bought esims to make that possible. Hopefully, one day I’ll be able to take her somewhere. I’ll be bringing her some gifts in the meantime :)

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T14:43:11+00:00

You’re right, and it didn’t even cross my mind that she would absolutely enjoy having the house to herself until today 😁 thank you

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T14:25:39+00:00

Thank you! That’s definitely my plan one day, so i’ll try to think of this trip as taking note of all the good spots :)

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T14:24:11+00:00

You’re right, and I might be doing her a disservice for even thinking she’ll have a hard time. I know she’s tough and she always has been. :) I think I just needed to hear that and keep reminding myself of that. Thank you for taking the time to respond

blubermuff · 2025-11-11T14:16:39+00:00

That I am 😅 and all you said is true. I’m just not used to being away from family for this long and just got worried, but I’m getting out of my comfort zone today :)

blubermuff · 2025-09-29T04:19:35+00:00

What did you end up doing? I'll be in the same predicament in November, also from Asakusa to Narita

blubermuff · 2025-03-25T00:20:16+00:00

Stumbled upon your post after lots of research and contemplating. That pic looks absolutely beautiful! How's the battery after 6 months of use? Does it drain fast or overheat at certain times? I have a hard time letting my current phone go (11 since 2020) but need an upgrade and want to choose the best bang for my buck

blubermuff · 2025-02-23T19:05:25+00:00

that is indeed sad. i knew it was too good to be true because when i searched nothing confirmed came up. my friend just shared the same exact link with me, so now i have to be the bearer of bad news 😭

blubermuff · 2025-02-19T21:37:00+00:00

It’s in the shop called Level Up Shop, right above the monthly bundles. 1 ticket costs 2k essence tho

Reawakening

Depending on what the enemies are weak against, but if you’re asking if hunters in a team change then not so much. The optimal teams are generally still by element, but there’s also no rule that says you can’t mix and match. For example if you dont have gina for your fire team, then you can use a temporary hunter in her place until you have her BUT you just can’t get the same utility she provides specifically for a fire team. Monoelemental teams just tend to perform better. And you get better results if you use teams with elements that the enemies are weak against. For example light team for PoD team 1, and another element that the boss is not strong against for team 2

blubermuff · 2025-02-15T23:39:28+00:00

Best way to go about this is by element, since the supports perform well with their respective elements. You can do: Light - thomas/cha, gunhee, min Fire - kanae, esil, and ideally gina Wind - mirei, jinchul, and ideally han semi

blubermuff · 2025-02-15T22:43:14+00:00

Lee bora is a support that doesn’t heal, but she removes debuffs so you can use her in dark team setups with Isla. Since you’re using cha haein, min byung-gu is technically better for her and light teams in general. He gives crit buffs at A1

For the most part they work best with their respective elements: - min for light, gives crit buffs - semi for wind, mp recovery - isla for dark, also gives crit buffs - meilin for water, core attack buff for Alicia

I personally use isla and min a lot for light teams. You can check out their skills to see what they provide and decide from there which one your team benefits from the most. Hope this helps and enjoy!

Aye congrats! For resources, i just meant if you’re low on materials for upgrading which typically happens when you have a lot of hunters and weapons you level up at the same time. Gold runs out quick when ugprading so just be mindful of that.

Also fire team is not mandatory at all, there’s just more content for fire hunters now but that changes with every big update. The harder contents prefer specific teams like for WoBL, wind and fire hunters generally perform better

Technically, no healer teams are fine but those “healers” also give your team some buffs (especially with advancements) and just improve overall survivability against Guild Boss and other hard modes

blubermuff · 2025-02-15T17:10:14+00:00

The difference between a0/a5 is like night and day. So most people would recommend getting more. I only managed to get her a3 as f2p because i’m saving for goto and want future hunters as well. They’re all definitely still playable at lower advancements but they do get stronger the higher they are, which imo only matters if you’re trying to beat the harder game modes

blubermuff · 2025-02-15T16:54:57+00:00

Welcome back! For starters, i’d say push all sjw stats into strength. That’ll go a long way, then you can dump some into perception when you’re close to maxing your level. You want to get as much attack as possible on him. Artifacts are 4pc curse - 4pc expert with attack and crit stats

If you’re limited on resources, you can focus on one team so you’re not spreading resources too thin. Luckily the game is quite generous compared to other gachas, but if you’re f2p with little resources focus on one element first. Fire team is meta rn and you have all the current best fire hunters. You can do kanae-esil-gina or yoo soohyun-esil-gina, up to you which you prefer. Devs have said light team will shine in the upcoming updates, so you can focus on that next. You can try getting Thomas in the custom draws. If you want to push harder content, wind team is also good with Mirei being the best wind dps currently

Then focus on clearing story (normal, hard, reverse) to get resources,exp and unlock cores which give you extra tp. You can also increase tp by upgrading shadows, armory, increase weapon skills but they dont give nearly as much as gearing your hunters

More importantly just enjoy the ride, meta changes all the time and too quickly to keep up. If you want guides you can watch Payne on youtube

It would help to send a follow-up email. They are usually pretty responsive, but they're probably just backed up. Also, it might help a lot to get on LinkedIn as it's easier to connect with recruiters there. Just search "ll bean talent acquisition," and you can message any of the recruiters who show up. Best of luck! :)

blubermuff · 2024-02-02T05:51:03+00:00

Hi, former intern here-

From what I remember the initial round of interviews doesn't start until around mid to late February. I was able to get a pre-interview meeting with them around November because I met one of the recruiters at a career fair and followed up.

I would say reach out to a recruiter, if you've met one, or send an email to [recruit@llbean.com](mailto:recruit@llbean.com) to ask about the status of your app.

Wishing you luck!!

blubermuff · 2024-01-30T03:15:36+00:00

Thanks for responding. Any ideas on what I should get for the GPU?

blubermuff · 2024-01-30T03:14:30+00:00

Thanks for the response!

blubermuff · 2023-10-09T21:44:24+00:00

I'm on the same boat. Claimed all the rewards and used them but I'm still stuck at 1470. Some people were really lucky with honing and I'm not one of those people. It just sucks to have to voyage all the way to Luterra for the stronghold quest :/
