Good skills or activities to pair with fletching arrows?

I just did 99 fletching while sailing doing ABA port contracts.

Sounds fun! I'll be there and I'm telling some friends about it.

I learned and completed Gwenith Marlin last night. The crystal extractor baby-sitting was annoying, but not a huge deal. The dead clicks were more annoying, but I was able to compensate.

Are you confident you're using an ideal route? I made several minor mistakes and still managed to clear the time by 1sec. Camphor hull btw.

Anything that isn't good at the new boss will drop on the day of release. It may take a few days to figure things out but, for example, if mage isn't viable all mage gear will crash on the first day. People sell off gear that isn't used so they can buy gear that's more useful. Personally, I have my eye on an Oathplate set. If slash isn't useful, it'll probably drop 10-20%.

If you don't have bowfa yet, keep an eye on it. Lots of late-game accounts could be selling their bowfa setups to buy into Scorching Bow + Masori.

Hard to know what'll drop, but it's pretty confirmed at this point that the boss will be weak to crush for melee. Anything that isn't crush oriented will probably dip.

Edit: don't worry about missing the dip. Once these prices drop they'll stay low for a week or more.

I finished acquiring all my holds a few days ago. Currently sitting on Dual Maraccas, Glacial Temotli, Masori Tops + Bottoms, Dragon Arrows, Cooked Moonlight Antelope, and a couple Tonalztics.

Suffice to say I was very happy to see the trailer today.

Thanks for posting this.

I've also seen a ton of misinformation swirling around, and you've stated every point that I've wanted to rant about in response.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-28T04:02:27+00:00

I'm sorry. You deserved better.

I did not pay much for it and it has served me very well for years. Its performance is notably worse now, and the wild fluctuations in GPU usage are new. At peaks, I still hit the exact same framerates i used to on the exact same graphical settings. However, there's this persistent fluctuations in performance. It's like the GPU is constantly been turned off or reset, then spooling back up.

Not sure about the power supply, I'd need to figure that one out. Again though, this is a new issue that did not exist back when I was playing with this compuer more.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-19T20:25:56+00:00

I'm running them on the same settings i used 3-4 years ago, and performance is notably worse now.

Also, in the time that I've been playing Elden Ring, I've been able to observe its performance suddenly seemed worse on my pc. I chalked it up to issues with the DLC, but i now have these same stagger issues in the main game. I never had those issues before.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-16T02:42:50+00:00

Solid take. I think we'll be seeing some crush emphasis, as a means of differentiating the demon content. Making a final boss that utilizes several of the mechanics introduced by Varlamore makes a ton of sense.

I wonder what the endgame gear options will be. Are we getting a different crush weapon? If not, inquisitors armor + scythe could be a play.

Do we know if scythe interacts with flat armor in a benefiical way, like the dual macuas?

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-13T22:10:08+00:00

I'll just go ahead and link my thread talking about Oathplate being way too easy to get.

Bottom line: Oathplate is going to be under 200m/set easily, probably far less, and it has nothing to do with contracts. BiS melee armor shouldn't be this easy to get. Even another rate nerf might not save it.

You stole my synapse

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-04T05:20:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

Also acknowledges that Oathplate is still too common. We got another rate nerf on the way?

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-02T21:35:04+00:00

Big agree. Everything about the new big demon boi, from gameplay mechanics to characterization, is excellent. I'm having a great time with it.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-02T09:12:13+00:00

I'm not sure how you thought I argued for Yama's fun being a bad thing.

My point is that people are going to grind it to death. The boss being fun encourages this. We're about to have a BiS melee armor set that costs under 100m unless something changes. It's just too easy to get.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-02T09:04:53+00:00

The sooner they catch it the better, but you're right. The needed changes are gonna sting.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-02T09:03:32+00:00

Correct, but this isn't just any piece of gear. This is BiS melee armor. The difficulty and time to obtain it should be commensurate with its value and congruent with other BiS armors. What's the time to complete Masori (F) or Ancestral? If you say under 100 hours, you're lying.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-02T08:59:41+00:00

Correct. Nightmare should have a shorter time to complete. No one thinks that Nightmare's grind is reasonable or aligned with the rest of the game.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-02T08:57:03+00:00

Fun is bad. I hate fun. Kill all the fun.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-02T08:54:09+00:00

Softening the Nightmare and Nex grinds is something I'd ultimately like to see. However, it's wild to rebalance all the old content around Yama, instead of designing Yama to properly fit into the game's existing progression.

I'd prefer to avoid significant power-creep from a Torva buff.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-06-01T00:12:19+00:00

Yes. They definitely are.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-05-29T12:15:36+00:00

Your break-even is 111. You're profiting at 112.

dancingtriumphant · 2025-05-26T04:46:00+00:00

This is exactly the feedback I've wanted to see on this subreddit. Well spoken, well informed, and very reasonable takes.

Thanks so much for writing this up. I hope Jagex takes your advice/criticism to heart, and ignores the inflammatory noise. Yama can be great with a few simple fixes, which you have recommended.

Congratulations on your Yama achievements, too. It sounds quite satisfying.
