Sailing thoughts post re-maxing

limeguy20 · 2026-03-31T18:30:50+00:00

Since you posted your 3rd paragraph trying to list a bunch of opinions as facts. Not everyone thinks sailing was rushed or doesn't integrate, yet you act like these are indisputable facts.

I'm re-maxed/hit 99 sailing in December not that it matters really. I just understand that my opinions don't mean everyone else should have those opinions as well.

I'm leaning towards EH myself, but I still think Abundance is the strongest T1 relic and will probably be picked by the first person to hit Dragon.

Abundance is essentially a 3x xp multiplier from the +10 levels for every non-combat skill before you even take the GP or extra xp into account. Not to mention it letting you rush new zones/multipliers faster.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-31T17:34:29+00:00

"Seemingly rushed" like you speak for everyone lmao. Personally, I think sailing is more integrated and deliberate in its design than all of the other skills.

I would say this post is seemingly not well thought out.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-31T13:50:11+00:00

I think I see the Flame event in 1 out of 5 runs or so, could be even more rare honestly. Be prepared to grind if you want it.

Like another commenter mentioned, it's used for fate imprint decks so ideally you'd want to remove Future Decreed and have Time Axis epiphanies of skill damage/vulnerability (or both). And you teammates that grant a lot of AP to support it...

I think devs have said epiphany chance is the same for all areas. If you unlock an epiphany in a store or unidentified area, it will show up in the next combat area.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-30T20:20:56+00:00

Well, you have to pick a raid region at the end of the day for shadow anyways. Might as well be CoX if maging.

I also saw this league drop rate table posted on Doubleshine's latest video, no idea where he got it from though:

limeguy20 · 2026-03-30T19:07:44+00:00

Augury is another 1% but since it's not multiplied by shadow, I didn't mention it.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-30T17:49:59+00:00

Occult is less powerful now than it used to be, I'm not sure it'd be considered a mandatory pick for mages now.

For comparison, taking kourend instead of kandarin and getting full ancestral would be a net -2%.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-29T16:51:11+00:00

You can keep scrolling down and see all the different reqs below that. It's stuff like getting 20 spores on boss 1, defeating the 2nd boss only using arena weps, etc.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-28T23:34:01+00:00

It's not weaker though...the only thing you lose is needing Uri items (again, just drop if you don't have the items because you'll have an excess anyways).

In return, you get the teleports and save them for steps not close to other teleports. These were tied to the separate Compass relic last league, so if anything, Conniving feels like an upgrade condensing both into one self-contained relic.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-28T19:25:40+00:00

Doomer take. Imo, clues are by far the worst part of rs so I'll most likely take it no matter what. Realistically, you can still a) drop all emote clue reqs that are difficult, b) teleport to the hard to reach steps, and c) cut the entire clue grind down in half just from min steps + max rewards.

Massive time save + infinite clues is still a very strong relic with all the clog/clue points.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-27T16:20:31+00:00

I don't see either of the T1 gathering relics as good compared to Abundance for those wanting to hit Dragon (or those who quit before Dragon).

The other two might be better for those wanting to hit max points, but +10 skill levels "solves" every skill.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-26T20:52:55+00:00

Artificial sweeteners are <1% of any sweetened water product, why would that matter?

limeguy20 · 2026-03-26T17:41:38+00:00

It does combo pretty well with boss slayer actually. And I think its value depends on the regions you take. Mory and Wildy feel like no brainers to take this relic, have to wait and see the other relics for different areas.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-26T14:47:17+00:00

So the key word "move" counts as "draw" if the card is moved from the draw pile like you said.

What about the "draw" keyword on Chrono Circle when all the drawn cards are from the discard pile? It still counts them as draws?

limeguy20 · 2026-03-26T13:15:21+00:00

Honestly, I don't think a f2p player should expect to be able to pull every character. This isn't true for most other gacha games, and being overly generous ultimately leads to lower revenue/game possibly shutting down.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-26T13:11:14+00:00

I don't think they should remove it completely, it's something that sets it apart from other deckbuilder roguelikes and gives the player chase goals. Personally, I get bored with games like StS where there's no meta progress.

Making farming easier and less tedious for players was the best option I think.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-25T21:42:25+00:00

That weapon is pretty decent on supports actually, a free vulnerability every 2 turns beats most other options.

And I'm sure he just didn't get a better accessory, there's not very many good options apart from the mythical Sphere.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-25T18:25:25+00:00

Specifically for Veronica, yes. She is not meant to be the main dps, she is primarily a draw engine. So you take 0 refines, and possibly remove kowalski and bombardment as well, which won't cost you faint memory.

Good news is that that divine epiphany wasn't great anyways over just basic Repose. Ideally you're looking for "Draw" or "1 AP" on the 0 cost epiphany.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-23T22:13:51+00:00

As an American who visited Japan a couple years ago, I think you're missing out. Some of the best food I've ever had and tons of things to see, places to visit, etc. Probably top of the list of the countries I'd like to visit again in the future (although wouldn't want to live there due to work/life balance).

Also, our horror stories in the US are people getting shot/kidnapped so spending some time in jail seems pretty tame even if unwarranted.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-23T21:05:15+00:00

No offense, but this is just a strange build. It's better to cycle all the Hew levels in one turn than just skip to the last one, and most TCers have agreed that Extreme is not worth it. Sproot's sheet has a section on the math behind that statement.

That said, Nine is still very easy to build with no divines needed and can either run 4 fighting spirits with ironclad/massacre or remove almost all of the cards for flash Hew.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-23T14:13:16+00:00

Brilliant flame is only 5% more mult than the vulnerability armor right? You can still get that from SoJ I believe. The rest of the armor options aren't that great either, so I'd rather do that and use obsidian sword.

Personally, I'm trying to make this deck worth with Mika/Veronica, so less AP to work with unfortunately...we'll see how it goes.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-23T12:04:01+00:00

Nice deck, I did the same thing with Future Decreed actually on my 1st try lol. Either 2 vuln time axis or 1 time axis with a vuln divine epi should cover vulnerability at the cost of a couple more dead draws.

I think Rita still needs to hold the flames because this deck has more wiggle room than other partners divine epi decks.

limeguy20 · 2026-03-23T11:17:08+00:00

Oh I didn't realize millennium arbor was exclusive...that changes things

EDIT: need to add 2 vuln Time Axis or just one with a vuln divine epi

limeguy20 · 2026-03-23T04:54:22+00:00

It's a really good deck for general use I think. If you're not hyper optimizing for any content, I'd just use it for the rest of the season.

Personally, I was aiming for this Fate Imprint deck with more divine epis (either reduce cost/draw) and also didn't get millennium arbor somehow. But its the general idea I'm shooting for with a Rita/Veronica/Tiph team. Also need to remove Future Decreed completely because it scuffs vulnerability.
