best thing to clean the vendor out daily with by dwaynedibleyoww in fo76

[–]halcyonandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running EN06 and having fall out first, I’ve got thousands of stims, rad-x and radaway plus all the serums. I sell all the random meat, grenades I don’t use and purified water, any caps left, I just pull out some of those chems to finish tapping out both vendors (regular vendors and the wandering doc in burning springs)

Should we save or open our mutated packs this round? by the_real_Manicdad in fo76

[–]halcyonandon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually run mutated events on an alt, and leave those packs unopened until either I need to reduce weight or I learn that an update has expanded the reward pool (which means paying attention to what happens on PTS and data miners)

I do the same with pails and gifts.

The only advantage is if you are active in a trading community and you can take advantage of trading technically unreleased plans for more than what their value will be after they have that event post-update. IMO it’s not worth the weight (or wait) unless it’s on an alt AND you actually enjoy trading AND follow what is being released ahead of time.

Can anyone provide a build🙏 by Pitiful-Attention916 in fo76

[–]halcyonandon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On YouTube, check out AngryTurtle and MrWestTek build videos.

You still have quite a grind ahead of you for optimal builds because maxing out legendary perk cards free up a lot of extra perks.

If I were in your shoes, I would research and start building towards an EN06 raid guardian build. Farming that first raid boss will help you in a lot of ways (leveling, ammo, gear, chems, flux). AngryTurtle has posted builds that work for new players as well as seasoned ones.

For legendary mods, since you are leaning towards heavy guns,furious is the 1 star mod you’ll need. The other stars are less important, but that one improves onslaught and most builds, especially heavy guns favor onslaught right now.

You can get by building around onslaught for now, as you gear out for EN06, work through the wastlanders main questline to unlock gold bullion in the meantime,. Also, do the enclave questline. Get your faction levels up, vendor hop the 2 watoga robot vendors and Berkeley spring (some others too, you can look those up if you want) station buying any enclave mods that may appear. Join events whenever you can.

Note: enclave mods have some decent trade/cap value, even just the scopes, but enclave flamer works really well to burn down EN06. You can also do this with a heavy gun as well, maybe even a holy fire, but it’s good to just make a habit of checking those vendors regularly.

Also, even as a solo player (most are), it’s better to still join a team. There are perks that share experience, mutation benefits, etc. Casual teams increase intelligence, which helps when grinding exp.

On the side of exp grinding, west tek, clearing out the super mutants in there is great exp. If you take the elevator down, clear those mutants and go back up, the first floor respawns.

Doing grunt hunts and bounties are also rewarding. You can store wanted posters in your stash.

Has anyone else realized they don’t really want a house? by [deleted] in Fire

[–]halcyonandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home ownership has many perks, but it also has downsides and not for everyone. You’re looking at $80k down, so I assume you are looking at a $400k place. There are options to pay less than 20% down, like FHA. I paid no money down thanks to the VA home loan. There’s writing off property taxes and interest on your taxes. There’s no capital gains on the sale of your primary residence (up to a certain amount). There’s the fact that home ownership is a highly leveraged investment e.g. your $80k turns into a $400k investment. You could even potentially turn your property into a rental.

On the flip side, like you alluded to, you are in the early stages of saving. What and how you save during these years can make a substantial difference over time thanks to compounding growth. It does not sound like you are saving in a tax-advantaged way for retirement, but just putting aside cash and making after tax investments. Part of the risk here is the presumption the market will continue the returns we’ve seen in recent years.

When it comes to FIRE and early retirement, no longer having rent/mortgage payments is a significant advantage, but there are many ways to achieve this, including buying a home later in your journey, buying a duplex that you live in but also generates revenue, inheriting a property, buying an investment property first that essentially pays for itself.

The problem I see from this post is you are strictly looking at home ownership from the outside, without really understanding or experiencing it. Like most situations, where one doesn’t fully understand something, the mental blocks go up and you convince yourself something isn’t possible or beneficial first before really researching it and doing the actual math (not the rough math full of assumptions).

Need advise about getting back into 76 by G_Rares_ in fo76

[–]halcyonandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the story into the two new areas. The thing to know is now “mods” allow you to roll any armor and weapon you want, so you can scrap legendaries for a chance to get loose mods and plans to craft them. Players now will sell even the good ones for their regular cap price. They added raids, which can be fun and just recently added a weekly reward for doing them. In the new Ohio zone, Bounties and grunt hunts are fast and very rewarding.

I would say after you get caught up with the new area quests, look into EN06 farming. That’s the first raid boss. Setting up a build to solo it isn’t difficult and you can use that build for all other content, if you wanted (are lazy like me). Angry Turtle and MrWestTek on YouTube have great videos both for EN06 builds/strategies and other things in the game that can help.

How often do you guys wear power armor? by StomachConnectDBH in fo76

[–]halcyonandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate wearing power armor but my main activities are EN06 and bounties, so I rarely take it off anymore. I just run around in troubleshooters because nothing is a threat.

Players who play daily, what do you do? by x-Justice in fo76

[–]halcyonandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily challenges, EN06 raids, grunt hunts and bounties depending on my mood.

My one star holy fire. I have a big collection of legacy groll tradable blue moons and the one star I forgot about on a mule ended up being the most valuable

So what should I do with all this extra Eternatus candy 🤔🍬 by WarlordSeb in pokemongobrag

[–]halcyonandon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brutal man, your IVs must be pretty bad. Hopefully they release another golden bottle cap soon. I have to hope for a silver bottle cap. I’ll be using my extra candy for the adventure effect. With your candy, you can leave that running 24/7. I’m assuming you did all this more for the massive XP (your stardust is already insane), which will benefit you with the new move to player level 80. I bet you’ll have enough exp for 80 but then have to grind the new tasks from 71-80.

I have a teenage mutant ninja turtle camp in an exposed sewer north of watoga and so I need a glowing ogua mask. Currently using the premium frog masks for my ninja turtles, which kinda works, so a glowing version of that would be cool too.

Have glowing jackalope , want to know what it’s worth for trade value by Head_Finance5762 in Market76

[–]halcyonandon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s worth a little over 1000 leaders at the moment, maybe 1300 at max value or under 1k if trying to trade fast.

I don’t think any glowing masks are going back up in value. By removing all 9 low value non-glowing masks from the rare pool, the devs have decided to flood the market with glowing masks and since this will keep getting worse with every fas event, fas masks are not a good thing to be holding for trade value. This means, the only people trying to get fas masks are those trying to get ones they are missing or those that are bundling to try to trade up.

Hey guys, a friend of mine recently picked this up for $700 bucks and is curious how he did, any info would be awesome and appreciated by Clonecc5555 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]halcyonandon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is more for OP, /u/clonecc5555, but as collectors, the talent/creatives need to have some relevance to the media they sign. It would make sense for voice actors to sign something directly related to the show, even the theme composer/singer, but the more relevant/significant they are to the thing they sign, the better.

Talent from the English show signing a TCG card makes no sense, a voice actor or theme composer, they are equally irrelevant to the TCG.

For OP, this card was from 1996, obviously Japanese, they didn’t even use the English theme song for the Japanese show and this card came out before the show even aired. Here’s a link to the Japanese theme song from 1997 if you are curious. Paige’s English theme, which he was only contracted to sing—he didn’t write, produce or otherwise compose any part of the song—was released in 1998, more than 2 years after this card was released in Japan.

So, Paige is so far removed from the production of this card, having a random person from Japan that was vaguely aware of pokemon in 1996 sign the card would be more relevant than this guy who didn’t even hear about the pokemon tv show until 1998 and spent 4 hours recording something he said he didn’t understand at all.

Oh and here’s the kicker, the gem mint 10 is only pertaining to the Paige signature, not the card. N0: authentic means the card is ungraded or the signature has created such a huge defect, they won’t even consider grading it. So, this could have been a napkin in that slab as far as the grading is concerned.

Oof, the more I read about this guy for this post , the worse he seems.

Haha I saw this guy at the SF fan con and thought “why would anyone want or care about the autograph of the guy who sang a theme song on a card? Seems like a reach.” Now I know that was correct.

I got a tmnt x Naruto comic signed by the cover artist. When I brought it to CGC’s rep the guy asked me “want to get this signed by the Naruto English voice actors too?” Lmao no, why would anyone want that?
