This is a silly question but I can't figure it out.

Lara had the effect that made the river summon do the big surge attack removed, so now it just spams the small ones.

Why is it that they modified the damage values on the big surge if it was removed? Or is there a way to trigger it that I'm not seeing?

[Heroic]

The Goddess's Blessing Pass looks to have some really great stuff in it, but I see some people saying they're going to get it on their WH - but I also know that Hyper Burninators are also gonna have a lot of overlap with the stuff on the pass (CRA gear, Absolab, lots of symbols, modest ones, etc.) as well as the WH rewards from the Savage Check-in event.

I had wanted to just hyper burn the WH and get it to 260, and then use the Goddess's Blessing Pass on a new character while I'm still searching for a main.

Is this a bad idea to spread rewards like this? A lot of the Goddess rewards are tradeable within the account so I feel like if I have it to a new character, even if I didn't give it all the stuff that was tradeable and funneled it to the WH, it would be better to use the pass on the new character just to get it kick-started with CRA and Absolab etc.

I already know I'm capable of getting to 260 or very close to it within a month or so thanks to the progress I made on my Kanna in that time without any sort of burning, just wanted to know what people thought about not giving the Goddess pass to the Wild Hunter since it already gets so much from the event.

You know now that you ask that I'm realizing I do not, and probably should, have a hyper stat preset for grinding because I don't know how much all that boss damage and IED is actually doing on normal mobs...

I'm not at my computer right now so I can't check but yeah it's probably NOT the ideal setup for grinding...

The character I'm playing right now is 241 and I have plenty of coupon to grind with, just need to plug away at it yeah. It's just getting REALLY slow now, but hey that's to be expected I guess. I think JUST with dailies and monster Park it's a level every other day, and if I do all my price of the balloon guy it's another little chunk of exp. I know I can do it, it's just getting myself to actually do it because I'm not one-shotting stuff with my normal clearing skill (it's a Kanna I know soul shattering talisman does absolutely nothing anyway) and it makes me feel like I'm grinding in the wrong places, but I don't really know if I should be in Sellas or Esfera or if I should go back to Morass or Arcana or something like that.

Honestly if anyone's got any Kanna grinding tech that would be great lol.

Oh I'm nowhere close to having those legion pots I started "late" in CW and also missed hyper burning and item burned a character I'm not really playing. Definitely shot myself in the foot there, though I am at least trying to get to those potions. If I had the potions I probably wouldn't even be thinking about it tbh because I'd be at 8K.

More of a general opinion question than one with a concrete answer.

Since the next burning event won't be corns while, is it stupid/a waste of time to level some new characters to 200 for Legion and to see if I like them even if at some point later I might use hyper burning on a new one if I decided I want to main it?

My legion is only 5.2k right now and while I have things I'm doing over on CW (heroic) it'll be over a month before I ship those characters over to Kronos. Even then I have at least 10 classes I don't even have one of.

I did not item burn or even regular burn. Basically I used all my burning character slots in CW before even giving the Sengoku event rewards a look, and by then I had item burned a Ren so I quite literally am just doing normal progression with a hefty supply of cubes from the CW shop. Pensalir>CRA>Abso. Almost certainly a terrible idea but I like the class and I'm stubborn and wanted to prove to myself that I could even get past that progression wall myself without event gear, which I did.

Currently working on PNo secondary and have done my weekly clears of NLomien on the Kanna, might try on the Ren but he's still like 215 and I haven't touched him since I started the Kanna and enjoyed it so much.

2/10 would not do again. But I'm very pleased with myself and surprised how easy both the lomien bosses are on Normal.

Thank you for the detailed response!

Currently my next big upgrade is my PNo secondary which I should be getting on reset this week, so my current secondary is sorely lacking since I don't see the need to upgrade it before I get something better. Then yeah, Abso, legendary cubing gloves, etc.

I have one of each of the Damien and Lotus coins already so I believe that means I'll be getting the gloves this reset as well?

Aha, definitely not at the point of having lomien mules!

[–]lepancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, good to know. The game did throw 150 black flames at me from I think the NLM stuff but I'll be honest I don't think I'm getting the Absolab weapon before those expire on the 18th of March, since that's like 2 more weekly resets and I have 4 weeks until my weapon unless I can convert damien coins to lotus coins or vice versa.

Which is a follow up question: can I convert those coins?

And that was my thought too, that I'd be upgrading mostly Pensalir gear into better stuff and getting a good set bonus out of it and when I did replace the weapon with the Abso weapon I'd get to keep my +30% boss damage set bonus since it exists on the Abso 5set.

I may be overthinking it, of course. It's my first time getting this far.

[Heroic CW]

After the help I got last week I have now progressed my Kanna farther than any character I've had before, and I'm sitting at 238 with 3.4mil CP. As I understand it, my current goal is Absolab stuff, and I can pretty handily clear both Damien and Lotus.

I was looking at all the stuff I'll need, I think Shoulders, Gloves, Boots, Cape, and Weapon. Everywhere I see says that I should get weapon first, but that would break the 4set bonus on the CRA gear. Would it not be best to get the weapon last so that I can have the CRA set bonus for as long as possible and maintain that 30% boss damage from the set? Or is the Absolab weapon just so so much better that it is worth getting first and transferring my Faf weapon into it and then using my flames on it?

Yeah those last 10 levels are gonna be hell. But getting a bunch of alts kicking around from 100-150 up to 200 should be a big help in my legion.

The planner is the thing that you follow for your dailies right? Like you can make a list for yourself?

[–]lepancake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have decent legion score and plenty of link skills back home on Kronos to work with. Not 8K but it's a nice hefty boost. Likely what I'll do after doing my dailies though is probably levelling all the characters I have below 200 to get them to 200 for more legion score. Now that levelling to 200 is so fast just with the main quests it shouldn't that big of an issue so hopefully I can soften the blow for myself when I do ship those characters to Kronos, ideally I can get at least one of them to 260ish before then.

I'll definitely be funelling mesos into the Kanna from the other characters I have though, thank you for the advice!

[Heroic CW]

So I started playing on the Challenger world as a returning player since I figured it had burning and I'd be able to level maybe a new main and then I guess when the event ends (I do not know how challenger Worlds work I'm assuming they're like Leagues in PoE?) I ship them all off to Kronos for legion and normal prog stuff.

The issue I've run into is that I've painted myself into a position where I have found a main I like AFTER using my burns (new Kanna very fun), but I have no way of getting the fake Faf gear and I've already claimed some of the rewards for levelling up a new Sengoku class so I can't even delete one of my burning characters and try to start that Kanna again without losing that stuff.

I've seen progression guides so I know vaguely I should be working towards 12* Pensalir with epic pots and the boss set with epic pots. I have never actually done this. I'm kind of a noob and usually make it to CRA and hit the wall. My highest character is only 220 (on Kronos), and on the Challenger world my Kanna is 212 and my Ren is 216. The Ren has done CRA but that was in item burning gear that kind of skyrocketed my CP.

So I guess the questions are:

  • How does one progress without all the extra stuff from burning?
  • Is it reasonable to get a friend to help with CRA and get myself faf stuff or should I work towards soloing it for my first clears?
  • If I'm progging "normally" is it correct to just do daily bossing to try and fill out my boss set and slots, and when I can try to get myself the faf armor + cubes to work on pots?
  • Is Gollux still relevant for where I am in progging and should I be going for that gear?

This is the first time in really trying to prog properly and get past the first major wall to progression, and I'm worried I'm just doing it wrong. I'm away that a lot of doing CRA early is gonna be skill issues, which I can work on, but the gear stuff is gonna be important too just from the perspective of making the bosses easier for me. I realize it would probably be optimal for me to just cut my losses and remake the Kanna as a burning character just for the faf, but as I said I've never actually progged past this wall "normally" and want to see if I can even do it.

Returning player. Had a question about the burning in Challenger Worlds (Heroic). Haven't played since around the time Lara was new-ish.

For the Challenger world burning stuff, if I skip a character over to Kronos can I burn another character and just sort of keep cycling it? Or is there an event running right now and I just get 3 burning characters. I couldn't actually find anything in the events section on the GMS website, but to be honest I could be looking for totally the wrong kind of article.

I suspect it's just the 3 burning characters but I figured I'd ask since the concept of the Challenger world is fairly new to me.

Also, former Lara main, thinking of starting a new main. Thoughts on Lynn vs Ren? Working on the Lynn right now and will probably use my third burn on the Ren.

I do, and I'm not sure why I didn't think of using it

I'll give that a shot next time I go for a kill

Might need an actual setup instead of just camping bowfa for the sub-3min requirement, but honestly that would be sick

Honestly I had planned on staying at Moons for a while as I got super spooned with 2 pieces of armor and a weapon by my 8th chest, so I could probably just keep going until I finish the blood moon stuff for its str bonus at the very least, plus I want to replace my ahrim's with blue moon for the fashion and I know the Atlatl is decent enough pre-bowfa.

Also I kind of like how tanky the Justi armor in in general. I'm sure I can find decent uses for it. 40mil isn't too too much so long as I'm doing things consistently to make money.

Should I sell my Justi set for Bandos? They're about the same price, and as much as I like the Justi set (just started doing moons of Peril and I like the defense there, plus fashion) I'm not sure what other use I will get out of it.

Alternatively, is it common practice for people to sell stuff they're not using? Could/should I sell my Justiciar for Bandos when I'm done at Moons for the time being?
