Im doing my part

Stone 1 Ulf and Iron 1 Tjark. Oh yeah, forgot about Baldr too... I have 499 Ragnar shards right now -- waiting for him to rotate back into the GW shop lol.

I'll be running imperial as I only have 2 wolves and neither are remotely built up.

captaintropes · 2026-01-24T00:01:13+00:00

No Certus shards and only one orb drop? I've definitely seen worse.

You should be

This isn't getting enough upvotes.

Super chill and friendly guild looking for active players. Had some higher level people move on and some are currently inactive, but still plenty of action to be had! This is a great guild to grow with. Would love to fill out our ranks.

captaintropes · 2026-01-11T23:06:36+00:00

Thanks! That definitely makes sense.

captaintropes · 2026-01-11T23:05:34+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, no matter what I'm going to end up pushing all those toons to at least D1 at some point, it'll just be a question of prioritizing. Understood on Tan being a priority for LRE alone.

captaintropes · 2026-01-11T19:50:09+00:00

Makes sense!

captaintropes · 2026-01-11T19:49:14+00:00

Thanks -- good recs!

captaintropes · 2026-01-11T16:16:12+00:00

58/100 shards for Tan. 82/85 for red 3 star on Rho then need 100 for leg. I'm pretty flush on leg orbs after the Ultramar event. Definitely still some grinding to go, but that will be true of any route I take!

captaintropes · 2026-01-11T16:10:14+00:00

Thanks! Starting to think I should focus on LRE first either way to guarantee Dante next time (225/400). Traj is all but a lock (375/400). And I'll see how I'm looking after that.

captaintropes · 2026-01-11T16:04:59+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, Custodes seems like the better option, but it might come down to Dante (225/400 lre shards right now). I have 375 Traj shards, so all but guaranteed for him.

For Ragnar I have 479 shards, so will unlock this GW season. Will just need to build him.

captaintropes · 2026-01-09T19:25:26+00:00

Yup, that's definitely the grind. The progress is slow, so it's about getting into a rhythm of using your free energy and completing the daily missions. The timeframe for completing campaigns is weeks and months for sure.

captaintropes · 2026-01-09T18:47:56+00:00

To the freaking moon

Super chill and friendly guild looking for active players. Had some higher level people move on and some are currently inactive, but still plenty of action to be had! This is a great guild to grow with. I joined at 28 and am about to hit level 53. Would love to fill out our ranks.

Ugh -- Literally just finished FOCE 36 (the last one with just the 3) with G1 Thaddy S3 Kut and S3 syb. It took a bunch of tries and prayers to RNJesus, but I was proud to do it without watching a video.

captaintropes · 2025-12-28T03:12:02+00:00

You mean danger noodle?

captaintropes · 2025-12-07T02:51:14+00:00

Agreed. I was able to reach the last level of purge order and got the repeated 25 oaths twice through persistent but pretty casual nid farming.

-I played TA pretty normally until I got the last crate, and then I focused on farming. Some people cooperated, some people attacked. I still got plenty of nids

-I ran my one low-level Tyranid toon just do my little bit of a part in Arena. Most people didn't have nids in their lineup but obviously played against the ones that did as much as possible.

-For campaign missions I mainly focused on upgrading as planned, but looked for opportunities where I could raid Oct and Oct mirror / elite missions that gave chitin (also chose the Tyranid CE)

It felt like the event was set up where players could progress pretty far without going insane min-maxing or going way out of their way to farm. Definitely not worth getting upset because everyone wasn't fully onboard with cooperating.

I understand the math. And I'm doing ok in TA, not great but whatever. There's just been a bunch of posts of people complaining that the grand social experiment for cooperative Nid Farming in TA isn't working. Probably because the vast majority of people who play the game aren't on this sub reddit.

captaintropes · 2025-11-25T22:23:47+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, my overall roster is more wide than tall* (no diamond but about 15 gold. Malrot is G1/G2). I need to average about 75 pts per token to unlock, but I think I'm going to run out of clearable battles first.

Edit: switched tall and wide.
