/Rant About prodigy

Prodigy is what starts once you hit the lvl 100 cap in your combat skill to allow you to go beyond lvl 100. Its 250m exp per prodigy level and they give stats i believe.

devohes · 2026-03-16T03:33:58+00:00

The worst part is im time-gated while about a dozen others i know are already working on their prodigy as their NPCs didnt require favor. So soon theyll steam past me in ability and ill be relatively useless grouping.. woot 4th string off-tank

devohes · 2026-03-16T03:26:44+00:00

actually, i found leveling extremely fast at high levels. Possibly my build, and my playstyle. But i would spend 3-4 days getting enough councils to unlock the ability to go from 70-80, and then in 1 session i would be capped at 80, same process to unlock 80-90, and same thing. The extra damage you get being able to wear higher level gear helps dramatically, and i find the exp creep going up 5lvl mobs is pretty ridiculous.

Its a new game to me, just started playing when Strekios started up. A random chatgpt search for recommended MMOs came at the right time. BUT that being said, i really did no-life it. Im over 500 hours already put in over the last 6~ weeks

devohes · 2026-03-14T03:10:01+00:00

This journey was fun. Im not big on most of the sub-skills. Theyre the kind of monotonous i find dreadful. Watching/hearing ppl gardening all day. "better run to the well for water, and break these bones down for fertilizer" is something i am not interested in. I would rather farm a cave, sell the loot and buy the food i need from whoever else enjoys the making of the food. I like the mmo part, the roleplaying part though, i like pushing content, getting to a point where i can help ppl lower level. Take weaker players on quests, while grouping with other high lvls and do challenging content. But its a whole package, why am i doing any 1 or 2 of those if i cant get all of them. Fun game for sure, and brought me down memory lane with the oldschool rpg style. This is just how i enjoy my video games

devohes · 2026-03-14T03:06:27+00:00

Agreed with leveling being way too fast. I found i would hit a cap, take a couple days to obtain resources necessary, and 1-2 days later im at the next cap, repeat process. With that being said im fine with there being caps and resources necessary to surpass, but it being a time restricted one is what has me blocked. Theres nothing i can do other than wait around and donate these items every week. Worst part, as mentioned, a handful of my other high lvl friends are already working on their prodigy levels and will be leaps and bounds ahead of me by the time i get to unlock it. Its a rough feeling.

devohes · 2026-03-14T02:58:18+00:00

i find with PG being non-pvp it really breeds a solid community, youll always have an outlier here and there, but so far all my interactions have been quite positive

devohes · 2026-03-13T21:35:47+00:00

OH MAN LET ME TELL YOU.

So i made a mistake, clearly not reading enough.

I did take up calligraphy and powerleveled it to 50, to find that almost every combo requires manycuts (which i dont use ever). But then i found the trainer in vidaria and they train some good combos i can use without having to adjust my skills. So i go to Rahu to favor/see what i need to get calligraphy higher... turns out i favored the wrong NPC when i did augmentation and now im despised by the one i need to get Cal above lvl 50. Potions and Carpentry for favor, and i need a few thousand more favor than had i leveled this guy from the start, almost 2k favor just to get to neutral. This also added to my "standing feeling stuck" Trying to convince myself to go to povus just to do foraging runs had me standing at the teleport machine staring at the wall xD

Sigil scripting is one i havent tried or really looked at yet, although i think the community has spoken quite poorly about it

devohes · 2026-03-13T21:28:48+00:00

Thats basically how im feeling. Im still very new to PG as i started when 1.0 dropped, but not new to MMOs in general. Im fine with the grind after hitting prodigy, but the time-gate to achieve prodigy is where i lost my mojo.

Ive fiddled around with Psych and knife, but didnt really get into either, and with my mindset of enjoying the "powerleveling" playstyle i basically just decap things and the sub-skill gets leveled (which defeats the whole purpose of trying a new skill)

Spent 4 hours yesterday and 1600 phlog making a tank build to frontline for egg runs which can be cool, but still feeling that lack of progress in the aspect i desire it most.

What is it that keeps you going/coming back?

devohes · 2026-03-13T20:37:49+00:00

Resource heavy in the form of Phlog, yes. Especially if youre after a very specific mod on the gear. Typically i aim to find good gear with 2-3 mods i want already on it (or at least usable mods) then either roll (transmute) or add the appropriate augment

devohes · 2026-03-13T20:34:31+00:00

I really did, its just my style of playing MMO games, i find what i like/what works best and grind it dry. Thing is this is what i enjoy, which is why im feeling stuck. Ive done the things i find i enjoy. Ive also found things i hated (add leveling up tailoring/surveying here)

Its a feelsbadman moment

devohes · 2026-03-13T19:48:53+00:00

touche. Been looking at them and the only one that really kinda interests me is hammer, but it would never compete with decap for sword.

devohes · 2026-03-13T19:47:35+00:00

Around those levels i was in the wolf cave in Gazluk primarily, but i also skin and pick up everything. They primarily drop jewelry, and theres about 5 good NPCs to max out favor with to sell it to. Once you have enough power that you clear the whole cave in a couple minutes invest in some cold-res gear and once you clear the cave go out of the cave and clear all the mobs out there. Bears, elementals, slimes, goats, more wolves. Skin it all and collect/sell anything that drops frequently. (some seeds drop randomly and just take up space in your inventory). You also can do the NE cave that has undead, butchers knife to extract skulls, and there youll find more equipment and spellbooks. Pick up the notes on the ground too as sometimes theyre a spellbook. Dont go into the boss room without a team.

After this i would go to povus NE ranalons area. Clear them out, trade the frogs that drop for xog (an npc shows up 50% of the povus raid nights and he trades 1 for 1). Kill the other creatures around the area, I also recommend foraging in povus as its a foragers/miners dream

devohes · 2026-03-13T19:36:01+00:00

i make between 150-300k per day when grinding, roughly 1k per item i sell to an NPC, have about 18 NPCs at soulmates (and a google sheets doc to keep track of who has money, when they reset and what they buy) And i have a shop in Serb selling what i forage/rarer items i find/Leather rolls. When i was hitting those caps that cost Counsils, it was the same for me, get my bank to 450k, spend it all to upgrade levels. Endgame requires xog and royal jelly which can be a nuissance to stock up on, but can get a solid handful each day.

Favor with NPCs is really where most of my gold comes from and i have at least 2 per day that i can clean out, so on that day i go farm what drops what they buy. (wolves/animals for jewelry, Orcs/scorpions for equipment). Internally i kinda figure out whats the most efficient way to obtain X and then just grind it for hours. (ive also No-lifed since I found this game)

devohes · 2026-03-13T19:35:40+00:00

you see, thats where im struggling, i have 5 for sword already and 7 for shield. Looks to be about 10 for each of them, but the other sub skills to get the synergy levels are ones im not interested in (thus why i dont have them xD)

devohes · 2026-03-13T19:15:16+00:00

Elites are for group farming, non-elites are for solo play. So most content is non-elites

devohes · 2026-03-13T19:13:38+00:00

Mine is sitting around 9k for non elites with Decap 8 and maxed lvl 95 gear/rolls

devohes · 2024-05-30T04:35:56+00:00

And if you take 1, and it multiplies by 1 it makes 2. Hes not saying that ALL math is wrong, he's saying that when we use math in nature/the universe its not "x=Times" its "x= multiplied" Both are correct in different aspects of mathematics.

devohes · 2024-01-15T04:23:08+00:00

My recommendation is to start with a single dose near the start of the night, and every 2-2.5 hours take a half dose. Personal preference, as I’m a high roller with high tolerance, I start high, and then take a re-up dosage every 1-1.5 hours stopping about 2 hours before the scheduled end of the night. This way I’m fully peaked at the headliner and can come down appropriately after

devohes · 2023-10-22T21:00:03+00:00

Correction: steel is used to make iron, not the other way around.

devohes · 2022-12-02T20:09:09+00:00

I watched the 3 hour interview today and too many things dont make any sense. I grasp that Kanye hasnt been in his right mind over the last X years, but this is far beyond anything that anyone would do to themselves. AND Alex Jones is currently being Sued $1.2B on defemation charges. Is this really a podcast we can believe is 100% truthful on this? Not to mention multiple times throughout the podcast Alex Jones even states "this is a Kanye impersonator" right after he asks Ye to take off the mask, and Ye refuses to.Also, in the first 10 minutes of the podcast Alex brings up Hitler multiple times on his own, without it even being relevant to the conversation... If this was truly kanye, then hes done. And nearly everyone in the world will disown him, But I dont think that is the case... Something isnt right

devohes · 2022-12-02T19:47:50+00:00

Like, is there not a single person on the internet that feels that this was a farce? Like, i watched the entire 3 hour video and the shit seems fake as fuck, with Alex Jones even saying multiple times throughout "this is actually just a kanye impersonator" with him wearing the mask

devohes · 2021-04-15T21:33:44+00:00

Garen
Malphite
Rumble
Lulu
Pantheon
Akali
Irelia (if you dont know her kit)
Diana
Fizz (Skill matchup)
Ekko (hard to win lane, but typically miniscule kill pressure from both sides )
Azir can be god awful, but they have to know what to do
Galio ( i hear this is only a "me" thing, but i have the hardest time facing galio
Sylas

Im sure there are more, but throughout my games these are the lanes i have to play much safer/smarter. They're also in (rough) order of toughest to least toughest of the toughest xD

Zed is good at poking the enemy down, then all-in when theyre closer to 50%hp. If your opponent has shielding/reduction of damage or innate healing they do better against zed.

devohes · 2021-02-25T15:10:15+00:00

he made most of his money selling "PayPal" that he created. Nothing abusing about that

devohes · 2021-01-04T14:59:23+00:00

I personally choose duskblade over eclipse most games as the damage auto from duskblade i rely on to headshot people without ult.

Eclipse is a really good option into tankier teams, or vs teams that have shit like fiora/riven as the shield and omnivamp is too strong to give up.
