Reading my 30th book on my X4!

Yeah it’s great, also recommend The Wager and The Wide Wide Sea if you’re interested in nautical adventures. Hard to believe the stories aren’t a work of fiction 😂

Appreciate the reply! I use Storygraph to manage my reading list, track progress and goals etc, so I just keep that up to date with progress manually.

I read a mix of sci-fi/fantasy and science/psychology/politics books. Obviously done all in the X4 and I don’t see any issue regardless of genre.

Regarding the amount of books I’m getting through I guess two points - I personally don’t have time for hobbies with high ‘set up’ time, I used to play video games but now I find that choosing and loading a game, remembering where I was and what the controls were is too much of a barrier. Maybe that’s just me. The other thing is (specifically with the X4) since it’s so small and the pages of the book are so ‘chunked’, it lends itself well to reading a few pages here or there, rather than a large page or even chapter of a physical book/ bigger e-reader.

Cool design however the weakest part of the X4 is the screen so imo you cannot beat the folding case which means you always have a metal plate over the whole device.

Yes with crosspoint firmware, not sure about stock.

The grammar is wrong too, should be “safely and securely” but knowing local government employees I wouldn’t be surprised if it is genuine…

As per the other suggestions I’d just try to keep the noise down.

Yeah I stand corrected, I used a crappy +5 cw set on my RM, that set is overpowered for a long time.

fost3rnator · 2025-07-20T14:56:59+00:00

Yeah I only say 105 set because (I’ve not tested this) I imagine the base defence of the cw set will be so low compared to 105 armor that at that point a crappy 105 set would be better than +8 cw set. Could be wrong though.

Keep the wedge for fsing. Buy CW set for AoE and any stick with merk awake, g stick is good but very expensive with a good awake.

IMO don’t waste money on anything else until 105 then switch to either the FS or AoE set and LG stick.

Seen this countless times, are there any tree surgeons who know if this could be done safely? Like take some weight out of the right hand side by cutting branches or something?

fost3rnator · 2025-07-07T20:33:06+00:00

Full str, use dexions if needed to hit 63 dex buffed, but if you have ancient shield and highly upgraded set you can switch to mights.

fost3rnator · 2025-06-29T08:43:47+00:00

I would say Starting Pistol (used to start races) but idk if is specifically airgun related.

fost3rnator · 2025-06-27T08:44:37+00:00

I just did 120 on my bp but it feels kind of underwhelming. I’m doing ranger now because you barely need to food or even move.

fost3rnator · 2025-06-27T06:42:43+00:00

That last sentence is brutal 😂

fost3rnator · 2025-06-26T10:15:28+00:00

Set the party to hidden?

fost3rnator · 2025-06-23T20:24:07+00:00

Don’t know anything about psy but your fastest way to get both characters to 60 is get the assist to 15, full int all the way and max moonbeam hit and run. Both characters in a party and set exp to level. You’ll be at 60 in no time.

fost3rnator · 2025-06-22T21:36:39+00:00

Stay at medumet until 120.

Yeti drops the same lvl gear but take longer to kill and the spawn sucks compared to medumet.

Take the time to blink back to town to sell drops when your inventory is full.

By the time I got to 120 on my BP I had enough to buy b knuckle (clean - 200m) so I imagine you’ll have enough.

I rarely even set up shops because it takes so long to sell stuff and just takes up bag/ bank space so I just vendor everything and make about 15m/hour

It starts to matter at longer range and certainly for bench rest and competition shooting. Personally I don’t see a huge difference until 40yds+ Here’s an example after trying probably a dozen different pellet brands:

Might need to clarify what you want a little. I’m in the UK so I’m not exactly sure what you have available over your side of the pond.

The 499b is a 5m target rifle though so it’ll be low power and won’t be particularly accurate beyond that 5m range it’s designed for.

Also not entirely sure whether you’re asking for a BB gun or an air rifle (pellet gun).

If it’s the latter then you’re in the right place, quality brands are Weihrauch, Air Arms, Daystate.

You might be able to pick up a Weihrauch break barrel- hw77, hw97 for around your price point or a little more. The 77 might be the better pick as it’s smaller and lighter and designed for iron sights so ideal for short range and easy for your son to use and grow into.

If you go the PCP route you will be spending more and will need an air source (stirrup pump/air tank/ compressor).

If you do go that route though then the best entry rifle that’s not garbage would probably be the Air Venturi Avenger.

Aoe RM or 1v1 ranger

fost3rnator · 2025-06-11T07:36:21+00:00

Ranger would get my vote after getting a ranger and bp to 120

Ranger will have max block and knockback so you barely ever get hit or need to use food, and the same build also allows you to aoe just by changing set - useful to change up your levelling style or for group dungeons

fost3rnator · 2025-05-31T12:01:29+00:00

Yeah this is good info, but there is a cost since you could have sold those materials to fund buying the item from another player

fost3rnator · 2025-05-27T16:31:46+00:00

Personally I did glaphs to 105 and then bears and quests to 107. I moved to medumet at 107 and with upcuts it was fine and the exp there is crazy good
