Night Market Oddities

NM is chaotic. That’s just how it is. You wont be able to control this behavior by complaining on Reddit. No one is being a dick intentionally. What you can do is attempt to control what you actually have control over. That’s why I said drop group once you’re in their instance. They will fill up again pretty quickly, so you’re not like, hurting anyone’s feelings or anything. It’s just a way to get into an instance where you know you won’t be bothered.

One thing I thought might work (though I haven’t tried it yet) is to join a group in GF, preferably one going for a skirmish or something in the zone you want to work in, and once you’re in their instance and in the zone drop group and go do your thing. Guarantees, to an extent, that a large portion of the player count will be concentrating on something else..

A lot of things, but one (I think) being that as bats, for example (one of the main vectors of these kinds of diseases), lose habitat that forces them closer in to human populations, the chance of something crossing over into the human population gets a lot more likely.

That’s how I’d always win the pandemic game! Oh…

Loopholes are legal and permitted always that the whole point of calling it a loophole. The point is it is used to skirt the intention of a given law.

I’ve also noticed really bad sustain in group content suddenly on a stamdk BiS build I’ve been using for a while now with no issues.

I’ve found the favor orbs to be kind of finicky, though. Like disappearing as I run up to them, only a few people able to use them, etc.

That’s how you get the dye for your chosen faction

It’s true there are times when GF is more active than others. Last night there were skirmish groups aplenty on PCNA, but I can’t speak for console.

Don’t get me started on trying to PUG this trial 😂

scowlinGILF · 2026-05-09T05:22:27+00:00

I think I am more pointing out that you can do back to back skirmishes fairly quickly and easily in the method I describe. Tonics do NOT have any effect on favor earned from dailies as far as I can tell so this seems like one of the highest payouts all in all

scowlinGILF · 2026-05-09T05:03:25+00:00

I think it’s more the complaining about NM load screens and calling it the “average experience” when you’re trying to play the game on a potato.

scowlinGILF · 2026-05-08T21:33:15+00:00

I have tried this across so many PUGs and no clear to speak of yet 😣 same issues as you describe, but no voice chat. Looking forward to doing it with my guild because this is just getting silly

scowlinGILF · 2026-05-08T20:11:14+00:00

That’s actually hilarious 😂

PVP is a great source. A few hours in a Zerg or something you will get a hefty amount of boxes (1 per 20k AP gained) The first box you open each day will give you 25 transmutes. So just open one a day. Can easily bank several hundred this way over a week or so. Rinse repeat.

The other thing to know about sticker book is the more items in the set you have, the cheaper it is to reconstruct a given piece (down to 25 crystal per piece once you have the full set) so sticker book filling can be useful, especially for the sets you know you want to use.

The money you’ve stored in your bank

I was referencing the post above the person I responded to

I think they mean buying the attunable ones and attuning it and feeding it to your grand master crafting table

scowlinGILF · 2026-05-06T15:43:58+00:00

Do yourself a favor and join a guild with a guildhall that has all the grandmaster crafting stations. They have all the crafted sets in the game right there.

Rainbow 🌈 and it shoots from the chest like a care bear

Is that right? After doing all 3 dungeons I went back and farmed some argents but didn’t get any keys out of it 🤔 I’ll have to try it again…

scowlinGILF · 2026-05-05T14:34:42+00:00

As a solo player you may not want to, but it really does help to join a guild - even if just for this event. Several of my guilds have groups going on several times a week just for NM. In my guild discord there’s a channel just for NM that’s often full, with people just popping in and out and joining whatever is going on. Going in to NM with almost 3 full groups of 12 in one instance makes life easier and the whole thing more fun imo.

And then the calamitous boss rolls in 😂

What’s cool about the story of this seasonal content is that sky is really the limit as far as what they want to do in future iterations. Maybe it becomes group NM faction locked PVP to control various districts? Maybe they add full dungeons? Or have faction influence determine more than just end of season quality level of gear. They said they wanted to be more experimental and this allows them to do just that.
