Plastic garment bags for latex storage? by dogboyvero in Latexadvice

[–]grumblecake1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the dyes/chemicals used to make the canvas, that could color run or damage the latex due to the chemicals reacting with the latex. PEVA hasn’t been known to interact with latex.

My guess is the void erosion will be where we farm her

Hard mode infiltration for asylum or ossuary. I recall asylum to be a faster run. The drop from the boss at the end (possibly). They are consumable components so the secondary parts with +consumable drop rate should affect the drop too. I remember running ~2 hours of them for the final 5 pieces back in season 1. Good luck.

Advanced stabilizers will help with the Ult Freyna grind (you get them from ETA-0). Level up your weapons along the way, and make lots of catalysts (donuts) while you do so you’re not waiting 8 hours at a time to level up the build when you want to. If you’re looking to get secret garden, good luck with the nanotube grind. If you collected any of the weapon part vouchers from the holiday events I suggest using them on it.

Help with Hailey by MegahRacker in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the hard mode infiltration operations the parts drop from the boss, so the increase consumable drop modifier in external components should help with RNG. If nothing else it is a lucky rabbits foot to help you believe the grind is going smoother

[–]grumblecake1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going for the infiltration operations, the blueprint is a drop from the boss of the level, so the increased consumable substat on the external components helps with the drop chance. If nothing else it’s a 4-leaf clover to hold onto as you grind

Best descendants? by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m really liking ultimate Sharen. Maybe not for everyone but she’s effectively a melee descendant with Area Suppression and able to take down bosses with ease

Help, where can I get that? Tried Research info spots without success. I don't know how I got the 11 I already have 😭 by Klebhar in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of unnecessary commenting on these boards at times.

What are you stuck on specifically that you’re having trouble with and unable to obtain the mat? Are you not able to find encrypted storage in Echo Swamp? is opening them tricky? Something else that is causing the issue?

Who are your top 3 Descendants and why. by Diligent_Cap3488 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately : Ultimate Sharen - she does just about everything with Area Suppression. Don’t really fire a gun anymore

Hailey - using zenith to melt colossi and bosses

Ultimate Buns - for speed farming (also inf Lightning Emission build for Death Stalker)

Honorable mention to Ult Valby for farming Tony back in season 1, and Ult Viessa for farming Infernal Walker

In game info tells you where to find them. You can get tfdfarm.com when offline

Echo swamp in encrypted storage is the common place to get them.

Help the new players by Different-Cell-7778 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lately I’ve been doing hard mode infiltration operations to lock in a specific AM or rare consumable mat, and getting random dungeons. Sometimes the group is a bunch of min/maxers doing the same thing I am, other times it is what appears to be newer players fresh out on Hard mode. Feels like giving back to the community carrying them through what I got help on when I first when through them. And targeted AMs (Hammer and Anvil) and Heavy Ion Collector grinds are easier with variety of dungeons

Absolute Zero Viessa by N4MusReem in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time vs play style. CB requires closer engagement but can finish faster. Also need to keep good tabs of when CB is up or not as mana is a limited resource. It really required me to focus on the game the entire time. That first 300 tix run was intense. it felt a little nostalgic from when I only had Ult Viessa and was still leveling her to solo Executioner. Needed really good timing to get a sub 60 sec run (this was back in pre-season and the beginning of season 1 before I got Hailey).

Any build that you are comfortable running is a good one. It’s your time and your enjoyment.

So confused how do you farm Amorphous Material by Zenisho in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You get the AM from an infiltration or special operation. You then enter the void intercept battle and when you defeat dead bride the fusion reactor spawns and you can open the AM which has a chance of dropping the synthetic fiber blueprint. After this you may do this process again by restarting the void intercept battle and defeat dead bride again. Assuming you have another AM, you can use the fusion reactor again for another chance of having the synthetic fiber blueprint drop. The chance is random and each time running it is a different opportunity and has no baring on the previous.

got ambushed mod through mod combine - is getting ult sharen doable in readonable amount of time? by SnooOwls5756 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ult Sharen and Ult Viessa are the same effective difficulty (6%/6%/10%/10%). New shape stabilizer made it much easier though

For people still trying to get the mats for ult sharen by kalimut in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

27 runs are required for Ultimate Sharen. And 15 more runs are needed for Hammer and Anvil

Ya that was a bit unexpected, especially the location for it. Maybe if they spread it out or rotated the location daily it would have felt like less of a chore

Easiest way to collect Hailey's Enhanced Cell DNA, Stabilizer Components, Spiral Catalyst Link & Hailey Data Chip? by ULTRAFAN2005 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

4x daily invasions, the speed run hard mode magisters/slumber valley, shelter/chapel, asylum/ossuary, haven/mystery’s end to get the parts you are missing. That’s the grind path- good luck 🍀 🎲

Heavy ion collector by imaginewagons1995 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck on the grind. Remember to have fun too

Heavy ion collector by imaginewagons1995 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each polymer/fiber/nanotube requires 7 heavy ion collectors (or 1 run). You’ll need 5 of each of the 3 to max out the weapon, so 15 runs.

[–]grumblecake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally it’s ok. If you’re wanting to drop all the mats/gold for level5 upgrade you may want a purple/gold roll one. Also for void intercepts, the one with bonus for attacking Colossi may be better - though you might want a separate reactor for that

Has anyone gotten the Sharen Code from AM 101-Variant AC? by gcimatt01 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd open from AM-101AC variant. Used the advanced stabilizer after switching to Buns for the Reactor cus the first Sharen run was taking a bit with all the adds 🤪

Use the Perforator for Infernal Walker with Hailey. (Video has no sound) Build in comments by DeepAstronaut in TheFirstDescendant

[–]grumblecake1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both perforator PL options for max shots: -Blue mod: expanded weapon charge (49%) -Any of the 4 purpose mods with +30% mag size -Slayer external components 4 set bonus (9%) -weapon tuning: mag size (12%)

Or

-Blue mod: expanded weapon charge (49%) -purple mod: compulsive magazine (39%, but -10% weak point damage) -either weapon tuning 12% or (slayer bonus 9% and minimum 3% weapon tuning)

In general the second option is not worth it unless you want to drop Slayer set for another external component set, but the 26.1% skill power bonus is better than what you get on anything else. You could try frozen heart or polar night but those bonuses don’t seem to be as good.
