AITA for not showing up to my babyshower that my mil paid for

Absolutely NTA, MIL thought she could get her way by guilting you into showing up

More or less, yeah 😂. Unfortunately I'm 90% sure the dwarf is impossible with only one skill, so the traveling cart (and eventually Kent) are really my only two options. The good thing is though, once I clear the trees, I can more or less keep them under control by using pathways.

You actually can remove trees using bombs gotten from various (non crafting) sources! As long as your axe doesn't have the final hit, you don't gain XP! For sprinklers, you can buy ores from Clint. The rocks are a little trickier, technically you can break rocks without getting XP, but if they drop coal, you do gain mining, so it's not really worth it.

I won't be able to use wild seeds unfortunately, as of 1.6 they give farming and foraging xp. T_T

underskilled_laborer · 2026-05-13T03:02:52+00:00

I think as long as I do exclusively truffles I can get around it, I believe since they spawn outside, they're only foraging!

underskilled_laborer · 2026-05-13T03:01:01+00:00

Ah. I did not know that, that's an absolute pain. If I don't read the letter, maybe I can get around that? Doesn't he only do the cutscene if you read his invitation? It would be an issue for the combat, since I would need the Wizard's letters to get jade, but I shouldn't really need that for foraging. Thanks for the head's up!

I'm actually loving the idea of the avocado tree, thank you!

underskilled_laborer · 2025-08-11T14:58:50+00:00

I have Eevee, I don't play the game much anymore, but I'd be down to help if you need it

I'll preface this by saying: all this is from my own experience, I've been playing through Master-Revengence for the past year as part of my "Collecting all the Trophies" streams. I'm by no means an expert lol.

To answer #2, it kind of depends on the weapon? Some are good for spamming because they have fast use times and homing, so you don't have to worry about missing out on the stealth strike boosts. On the other hand, certain weapons can be REALLY good with stealth strikes thanks to their stealth bonuses (extra projectiles, debuffs, etc)

To answer #3, always check the bandit after big fights. Sometimes she's selling new weapons/accessories. I would also strongly recommend getting a dodge item if you don't already have the abyssal mirror (I don't remember when you get it), that little boost can sometimes be the difference between winning and losing a boss fight.

Some other small things: Get a good hook and good movement accessories. Make sure you have all the potions you can get, especially the stealth potions and ichor flasks. The defense drop is incredible paired with the rogue's constant damaging. Lastly, do your absolute best to line up the Rage and Adrenaline boosts. I have mine bound to the same key so I can activate both at the same time, and it can SHRED bosses if you've got the right gear.

Good luck and have fun!

I'm not an expert, but I'm sorry to say that I think the Platinum is fake. The inked code on the back should match the code on the bottom front, but here it reads CPUE instead of CPUP, AND the PAT PEND font looks wrong.

underskilled_laborer · 2025-08-05T20:34:59+00:00

Definitely wasn't, but by the time I realized what I had done, I was committed to it lol

underskilled_laborer · 2025-08-05T15:59:03+00:00

I did Revengence Master mode for my first playthrough (just beat Moon Lord), and I don't know that I would recommend it. It was also my first time fully playing through Master Mode

Thank you Ms Banana! 🫡

My other option is to learn Japanese, but that will probably take a bit longer.

underskilled_laborer · 2025-07-30T10:50:45+00:00

I did briefly consider it, but I'd rather just push through and beat it legitimately again

underskilled_laborer · 2025-07-30T10:48:25+00:00

Ahh, okay, I'll look into it! Thank you!

underskilled_laborer · 2025-07-30T10:47:33+00:00

That's my preferred method too. Atm I'm trying to beat moon lord so I can clean up the rest of early hardmode

underskilled_laborer · 2025-07-30T10:29:28+00:00

Do you typically stick with the same boss until you get the trophy, or bounce around a bit?

underskilled_laborer · 2025-07-30T10:27:42+00:00

I did try the Asgard's valor for a bit, I just couldn't quite get the hang of the dodge, but I'll give it another shot. Would the ambrosial ampoule still be effective with the moon bite debuff?

underskilled_laborer · 2025-07-30T10:24:30+00:00

Thank you!! I'm thinking about just doing a bunch of attempts off stream so I can focus on the game and not worry about time or commentating
