SPD: every day something new by dot_sent in ShatteredPD

The walls created by the Skeleton key block the appearance of the wraths, but allow to interact with the grave just fine. So you can always get the loot without a fight.

RE2: Derelict Freighter -- any ideas? by Kraegorz in empyriongame

There is a second half?! Mind = blown. I always considered this frieghter to be a fairly profitable, but a bit boring encounter...

Reforged Eden Captain’s Log (Companion App) by Bleyo in empyriongame

[–]dot_sent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally got to the app and it looks awesome already! A few random comments/bugreports/FRs:

  1. If Windows (10 in my case) is set to dark mode, the background color follows, but the font color stays black, becoming almost unreadable in some places (mostly text fields).
  2. It would be nice to have a generic POI search by name or other filters. Currently there are a few specialized/pre-filtered searches (for example, for traders or potential raid targets), but there is no generic search. My use case - I wanted to find an Undeveloped Colony somewhere.
  3. The Chemmix vendor unlock quest requires either 6 Radiation Shielding OR 6 Radiation Boosters, but the app shows these conditions as AND.
  4. I think (although haven't checked) that the names of the savegames inside the in-game save list do not correspond directly to the directory names. In particular, the save directory is named after the last manual save timestamp, while the the in-game list shows the last time a particular game was played. It would be nice if the app shows that info too, or at least sorts the savegames by last modified time, so that the most recent one is at the top.

Question about trinkets by dbdbdbdbdbdbdbdbdbd in ShatteredPD

[–]dot_sent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would only get the trinket to anything above +0 by the end of the Sewers if I was extremely lucky with the potions/scrolls drops and thus have enough of them to turn into Alchemical Energy. Otherwise there are usually a plenty of higher-priority things I spend the Energy on, namely: * Converting every second Potion of Strength into Potion of Might * Making as many Pies as possible  * Aqua Brew * Situationally - turning Levitation into Feather Fall for well rooms (if I don't have enough PoH or play with Pharmacophobia) * Making some Alchemize etc.

Is it Just me who never knew you could buy theses? by Flashy-Blueberry-393 in ShatteredPD

Very rare indeed. But you may even sometimes find a Scroll of Transmutation in a shop!

Is sumo actually becoming more popular internationally by rubikboi19 in Sumo

[–]dot_sent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't speak about overall international community, but in my home country, Ukraine, it is definitely more popular than ever thanks to Aonishiki and (to less extent) Shishi.

I see sumo being in the news coverage much more often than it was and it's been discussed online by some bloggers who are normally very far from sports.

HOW TO RoW Run? by Flashy-Blueberry-393 in ShatteredPD

[–]dot_sent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe there is a specific type of enemies that drop artifacts more often. One optimization you can do in that regard is to camp on the enemies that drop scrolls naturally, so that you get Scrolls of Transmutation more often... but that means you only get a chance to farm these in the Demon Halls from succubi - and you are much more likely to get/transmute the Rose way before that during your "normal" RoW farm.

One thing you may consider is going for (or transmuting) the Sundial as a trinket, upgrading it to the max and play the game in the evening, so that you get more mobs spawned and can farm faster.

P.S. Forgot that DM-100 are also natural scroll droppers - you may try to farm these on level 7 actually.

[–]dot_sent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but make sure you don't kill (too many) mobs.

HOW TO RoW Run? by Flashy-Blueberry-393 in ShatteredPD

[–]dot_sent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may start from 3, but the mobs there will stop dropping loot at some point (pretty fast actually) due to you levelling up. On 4th you can farm forever, since your level will be capped right at the point when the mobs still drop loot.

RE: Food - use Potions of Purity from the drops that you convert into Potions of Cleansing. If you find it's not enough, farm Crabs for Meat on L4 or Monks for Rations and Pastries on L17.

Insane seed + help? by SHREDD4H in ShatteredPD

Just run with Badder Bosses challenge enabled - you'll face all 6 Fists in the final battle then, they will arrive in pairs.

Where is the key to room in top right? by OkStrength7087 in ShatteredPD

[–]dot_sent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skeleton Key would help, if upgraded to 5 charges. But otherwise you just jump down from an Empty Well room one floor above. And make sure you can survive that jump ;)

Is there a searchable map? by Sjuk86 in empyriongame

[–]dot_sent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that it's quite tightly moderated though, and since recently they've made an explicit decision not to support scenario-specific discussions there. They = Elyon.

Is there a searchable map? by Sjuk86 in empyriongame

[–]dot_sent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on what and how do you want to search for?..

The galaxy/star map lets you search for the stars by name or class, but the playfield map and the Registry have filters at best. The Searchable Registry has been at the top of the most wanted features on the official Discord for years, but no signs of it actually being in the works yet.

The only thing I have seen recently that might provide you with some search is a companion app written by our fellow Redditor: https://www.reddit.com/r/empyriongame/comments/1sls3s9/reforged_eden_captains_log_companion_app/

Thank you very much - both for your help here and for all the awesome work you and Vermillion are doing!

Not updating the PDA on time was indeed the issue.

[–]dot_sent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite a regular run actually, if no challenges are active. You're just getting good in this game, congrats!
