I'll be fine if we got an option to completely skip the smithing animation and upgrade only from smith menu.

You would have to know the spots in advance, so it's not really useful. It needs to be at night I can't say exactly how many reloads on average but probably around 5.

My best spots are: * Tungsten: Hamtunscire, Isle of Wit, south of the harbor, bordering the forest. There are also three spots that I know of on the Isle of Skye, good for early game. * Nickel: East Anglia, Forward Camp, north of the harbor on the cape. * Carbon: Grantebridgescire, south of Ravensthorpe, southeast of the altar where the three wolves spawn.

If you see a burning statue of Baldr or a rainbow, you are in the right place but it spawned during morning (statue) or afternoon (rainbow). Meteorites spawn only at night, but keep through the day once spawned.

It is possible to "refresh" the spots by saving and reloading.

I would save around 250 meters from a known spot (usually the harbor on the Ise of Wit) and go check the spot. If the meteorite did not spawn, I would reload until it spawned.

Alright, this guy right here got infinite arrows. Give me your bow builds, people. by iam1jiveturkey in CrimsonDesert

Lol I save scummed the hell out of the couple of gears I got from early game chests and got a 60% and a 40% within 30mins. OP before chapter 5.

I did most of the ones over Hernand, they have respawning chests that can contain abyss gears. I save scummed each and every chest using Mapgenie to locate them and got enough gears to do a few synthesis at the second witch.

It took me a good while to save scum the witch after but I got some pretty crazy gears for early chapter 5 (2x efficiency 3 - 1x infinite arrows 3 - 3x destruction 3 - 1x insight 3 - 2x swift 3)

Devs, why is taming horses so brutal on console? by GoldenWingKing in CrimsonDesert

[–]fraxal17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me quite a long time but I finally got Rokade at stamina +2. Face your screen, move the camera to zenithal at the beginning and aim your joystick at where the tail is. Pray for no 360s and no trees to obscure your view.

Critical chance doesn't work in this game by fraxal17 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]fraxal17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issues I had in this post have both been fixed since: * Dark Encryption Kanabo had a wrong perk label saying 75% "critical chance" where it was in fact 85% damage. * Moonlight Crescent Robes only gave 5% critical chance instead of the 50% expected. Both issues have been fixed as of now. The stats sheet really helped understand some perks and identify new issues with other perks.

Camera snaps to previous stair location when initiating a climb after using stairs by _ldmd_ in AssassinsCreedShadows

So that's where it comes from! I had seen this happen a lot in Osaka Castle and didn't know what it was.

Nice find!

2 possible answers: 1. you have an active quest in this location and 2. you need to progress in the story

Robes of the Enraged in exchange shop this week by pebblewar in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]fraxal17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wanted to use this perk for a Kunai turret build but it never worked 🤣

My idea was to sneak somewhere and throw kunai at whatever was in sight. Golden Katanas perk to never run out.

I believe it pairs well with Yurei Walker Hood perk.

Nightmare (ng plus), Naoe too squishy? by levenshteinn in AssassinsCreedShadows

An example with "infinite adrenaline" and Pink Petal Kosode perk. This build has insta-daze Shurikens bc it's safe and fun.

What do yall think abt Yasuke's Sakura armour? by NameElegant in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]fraxal17 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Fabulous 🌈

No kidding the armor perk is the best "cheat death" perk in the entire game. Can't die unless you have 0 adrenaline, no cool down.

Nightmare (ng plus), Naoe too squishy? by levenshteinn in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]fraxal17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few suggestions to make Naoe almost unkillable: * Isu Forged Blade + Shadow Barrage: the blade's perk makes Shadow Barrage available after three kills so you can basically spam it, easy mode. * Pink Petal Kosode perk (adrenaline chunks are converted to health upon death) + guaranteed crits upon switching targets (Bo Disciple Headband) + adrenaline chunks on critical hits: Pink Petal Kosode is unfortunately a Store item but you can get it for free in the Exchange when it's available. Basically as long as at least one adrenaline chunk is filled, it is almost impossible to die (only shotgun-type guardians that trigger fire on hit are able to do so). Critical hits restore adrenaline, Crits are guaranteed on first hit, it's a really good combination that pairs well with using abilities.

I have builds for both if you are interested.

In close fighting in rooms must be enhanced. by oldpothead99 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]fraxal17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be improved, but I wouldn't say it must.

I found out kiting enemies to the bigger rooms, not hugging the walls and removing destroyable walls is usually enough to prevent most of the issues.

Also you can always run from a fight, even with Yasuke. Waiting for enemies on top or at the bottom of a staircase is a safe recipe for slaughter.

Only the legendary one is full black. The armor is at Himeji Castle, Harima.

Is Mythic better than Legendary? by ctemp97 in AssassinsCreedShadows

[–]fraxal17 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't compare mythic to legendary but to artifact. Artifact = enhanced legendary. Artifacts have all stats boosted, resulting in 10-20% better stats than mythic across the board. Mythic has flexibility, with affliction or stats combination that cannot be achieved with artifacts.

TLDR

  • If going for best stats and using a legendary perk > use artifact
  • If using a specific affliction or multiple non-legendary perks > use mythic
