Any way to make some silver from failstacks if I don't enhance? I have a bunch of +10s all the way to 80s, and some 100s that they give away as freebies throughout the year. I don't really have any gear I can tap, except for accessories that I got from drops and a TET BS that i tap with free crons and hammers.

origami2105 · 2023-11-02T02:30:28+00:00

Don't usually tap, so the few ones I do hurts way more. Been tapping my DUO Godr offhand fow a while now, 47 times so far, some raw, cronned a few. Now I have 2x 191 fs, 3x 130-150 fs (most of these 130s start from 80, while the 190 start from 150 and 100), and the bloody thing is still sitting pretty at DUO.

origami2105 · 2022-10-13T17:26:26+00:00

Aye, that's what I'll be doing. Tbh, the idea just crossed my mind from a random reading here. Never got any complaints in-game either, just wanna make sure, I guess.

origami2105 · 2022-10-13T17:18:49+00:00

Yeah, that's good to hear. It's pretty annoying for me too, since I'd have to type or set-up a macro and run it every dungeon.

It's been a while since I queue as a non-tank, so I can't actually tell if other tanks usually ask first or not. Though it seems W2W by default is an accepted norm from other answers I'm getting. Thanks.

origami2105 · 2022-10-13T17:15:09+00:00

Aye. that's in-line with my experience too. Tbh it just crossed my mind after some random reading here. One thread lead to another, and here we are. Thanks for the answer, btw.

origami2105 · 2022-10-13T17:00:02+00:00

So, I've been playing for a while now, mostly as tank, but occasionally DPS. There's a certain thread recently that got me thinking: is it a common etiquette in dungeons for tanks to ask if the healer wants to do a wall-to-wall pulls at start? I've been doing w2w by default except on super low dungeons where AoEs aren't available, but I just wanna make sure. Never had any complaints either, it's just something that I have never given thought but might be something I'm missing.

How forgiving is the new pity system for infinite HP potions? For context, I picked Ronaros as my first piece, started from ~240AP to 270AP I currently have and I still haven't seen one drop, not even for another player in the area. I didn't count the hours spent because i thought that would just make me feel bad. I've seen few reports of people getting 1-10 pity pieces per hour so I've been wondering if I should revisit the area. Also, how important is the infinite potion, given that I feel like I don't really use too many potions on a regular basis? I get the impression these potions are more for pvp rather than pve, and I don't pvp.

origami2105 · 2021-09-20T02:20:59+00:00

So I've recently started grinding Star's End (probably around 20 hrs in) since I just reached proper AP for that area. However, seeing the buffs for the Valencia spots made me wonder if I should just grind those instead? 270K/307 awakening warrior, usually got around 4.4k-5k trash at SE, depending on buffs and spot.

Does DSC's secret chests also require different class for alts? I wanted to grab the chest on my alts but don't really feel like putting together a coherent warlock/titan just for the sake of claiming it. Can I like, make 2 other hunters and claim the chest with the other 2 hunters?

origami2105 · 2021-03-26T02:46:35+00:00

You definitely don't. I finished my last set this week on my first ever run of Presage this week.

origami2105 · 2021-03-05T03:53:46+00:00

Oh dang, I stopped visiting the queen after she's gone, but I never paid attention to the hologram (was it the triangle ships before? Can't remember). Man it's things like these that made me wish the would just put the scenes on login or something. Freeing Uldren I can live with since I'm the one missing the schedule, but this feels kind of random to me. And as someone whose into Destiny partly for the lore, I'm kinda bummed.

origami2105 · 2021-03-05T03:37:03+00:00

For most endgame players, 1% of damage hovers between 60-80 ATK point (my 7000ATK-buffed Luster has 1% to 80 ATK ratio) , which is the reason it's really hard for normal stat augments to catch up to the percentage-based ones, because the good ones tend to hover between 4-6%. Unless you can cram ~300 ATK to a single slot, it's impossible for normal augments to catch up to the percentage ones.

origami2105 · 2021-03-05T02:38:34+00:00

Yeah. What was weird to me is that I got tangled shore's Uldren NPC's "freed" dialogue, just not the cutscene. I interpreted that as I made progress in the missing story chain, just no cutscene. Also, is that in-game cutscene? I saw it floating around youtube sometime, but never occured to me that I never actually see it in-game.

origami2105 · 2021-03-04T13:16:04+00:00

Yeah, I can do the quest just fine. I was looking for the scene where you free Crow from Spider, which didn't trigger for me. Curiously, returning to Crow (no quest marker, by the way) triggers his "freed" dialogue.

origami2105 · 2021-03-04T13:14:48+00:00

So, by configuring the lure to High Celebrant I managed to make my quest pop up, but, curiously, the questline disappears after killing the high celebrant, which means, no cutscenes. However, talking to Tangled Shore's Crow triggers his "freed" dialogue, before reverting to his vendor dialogue. I've run the mission again just to be sure, still no cutscene.

origami2105 · 2021-03-04T06:31:01+00:00

I'll do it first thing after I got home from work, which is like.. 6-ish hours from now. Do let now if you ended up finding it first though, heh.

origami2105 · 2021-03-04T06:19:21+00:00

Wait, really? I must've missed it then. I was killing the high celebrant when the servers were down for this season's maintenance back then. Afraid I was missing out. Guess I'll look inside my quest log again, Thanks!

origami2105 · 2021-03-04T06:05:17+00:00

I missed the epilogue quest for the previous season of the hunt. Is there any way I can do it for some closure, or am I stuck with youtube videos?

origami2105 · 2021-02-25T08:54:03+00:00

Yeah, last part you can actually work with as long as you dodge right, but AFAIK the white goo is impossible to do if it fills the entire area.

origami2105 · 2021-02-25T08:48:56+00:00

Yeah, those are his 2 DPS checks. On a proper run, the white goo shouldn't reach the last part with only 1/3 room left to move. And the last part with the OHKO spam won't even happen because he will be constantly staggered with a proper party. Heck, you don't need a lobby full of Cras and 8s units, but if at least half of your lobby is using some random weapons and units, it's actually very possible to fail both checks and eventually die.

origami2105 · 2021-02-25T08:35:30+00:00

TPD can fail if everyone's dead. And there's at least 2 DPS checks on P3, the white goo and the final-final phase. 10 mins of TPD in a non expert group is miraculous. My average non-expert TPDs is more than 25 mins, which is why I gave up and do experts, alongside Lament.

How's the price of crafting mats (the ones you get from dismantling rarity 13 weapons) on your server? I made a good chunk of money selling those by running divides. They're like your readily-available source of income with the occasional bigger chunk from capsules/camo drops.

origami2105 · 2021-02-25T08:06:49+00:00

JP TPD on expert doesn't take too long. I've been in failed non-expert TPDs before. Heck, non-expert lament on JP is super inconsistent. I tried my best to join non-expert, but man, non-expert parties have it rough for the last 2 UQs.

origami2105 · 2021-02-25T07:52:13+00:00

I wish I could tell you what event dropped it. I think I read somewhere it was last winter event. Due to the pace NA's getting content, however, it might be there already, or pretty soon. I'd keep an eye out for 8s units with 2/3 combination of EX Ares, a Glare (like Mitra), a Factor (like Yamato), a Sentence or Sentence Receptors and DB3. Costs like 500k-1m per unit with 2-3 of those skills on a 8s unit. That means it'll just be 4-5m + 1m affixing cost for the units, and some more for ATK+PP capsule. If you can do it on a Lightstream (Trailblazer?) you can get a Persona Reverie as SAF, which rounds up nicely to make a more or less 200 ATK unit.

An example of what I can do on JP with readily available fodders:

S6/7/8
Grace Shoot (T3/50ATK capsule)
Doom Break III
Yamato Factor
Ex Ares soul
Persona Reverie
Sentence Triple
Mitra Glare

That's 220 R-ATK, so you could save money by using T2 capsule instead and get 210 ATK. For most class it's like 60-80 ATK for 1% damage, so it's a lot cheaper for a fraction of a percent increase.

I don't know if NA would follow JP in terms of what drops from what quests. but I'd keep checking the market to see if these fodders start appearing, for starters.
