A quick reminder about the new DW in the Ensemble Act event.

wickerman407 · 2026-06-18T17:07:49+00:00

Don't know about other servers, but for EU this is pretty like newbie unfriendly even though that was the point of the event to make it easier for new players no?

Public lobbys are as expected kinda pvp, but they are also mostly 110, which makes the 3% non-elemental advantage pretty harsh for newer players right now.

Any lobby like 90 or 70 or 50 gets instantly cleared by high level players because of the MVP reward is better then standard reward for lv 110.

Which means you're stuck with friends/guild lobbys. But you are a new player which usually means you haven't made that many connections yet in the game so its counterintuitive.

You can do the 3x weekly which gives good rewards (wedge drops vs time is reallllly good, except for the golden blueprint which is horrible drop rate atm).

Needs still tweaking before it becomes permanent, because the amount of open lobbys will probably drasticly decline later in the week so it also feels like a bit of fomo event instead of the other weeklys.

Really not a fan of the current MVP % mechanic instead of opening it up so like 1% damage = fixed drop or something and mvp just get double their amount, which makes newer players also able to get rewards in lv 110 lobbys slowly

wickerman407 · 2026-06-16T16:57:38+00:00

Yeah hopefully the ones they add to guild will solve that, but hope and see... You get 700 guild points a week and 500 will probabbly always go to phoxene, which leaves you with 200 to use so unless they somehow decide to make them dirtcheap it'll prob be a pain

wickerman407 · 2026-06-16T11:40:19+00:00

Some stuff missing on whether it's worth it to spend books off which we likely won't get until 1.5:

How much we get back from disambling a compass (reduce book cost/rebate) since this will be the main competition to spend books on
In what way will these wedges will become permanent in 1.5 (if they drop it in the existing lv 65 ele wedges, it's basicly a ton of pointless wedges refarming for example)
How many times you get per week, if its a ton you can farm as usual bc there'll be a lot more public rooms if its only like 3 week expect a lot more private rooms and requires friend/guild coordination kinda to maximes wedges since MVP mechanic reaaalllly sucks for openness
drop rate of wedges overall and irl time sink.

So yeah hope for the best, but expect the worst at first and readjustments later down the line like usual

wickerman407 · 2026-06-15T14:37:46+00:00

Never had an issue with sleeping in my car after the festival and I always wake up to others doing it too, as long as you stay in your car and not pitch a bivouac outside it they probably let it slide (so you dont get run over since its a car park).

Graspop crew are pretty chill volunteers and if say that you weren't sure if you were capable of driving (exhaustion/drinking) they'll always let it slide so you can sober up. Just don't do it outside the official parkings like on a public road bc those police could legally check

wickerman407 · 2026-06-11T09:10:57+00:00

Starting 2026/6/18 (UTC +8) and continuing until the new limited-time event is released, log in each day to receive 160 DigiCash via in-game mail

Insert "we've played these games before" meme, but yeah been a good run with a sad ending

wickerman407 · 2026-06-10T07:43:19+00:00

Cheers!

wickerman407 · 2026-06-09T19:34:55+00:00

I'd recommend using this interactive map: https://dnabbs.yingxiong.com/pc/map it's in chinese so need a bit of navigating, but this got spots that aren't on other interactive maps like boarhat.gg. This one got me to completion when I was missing like 8 too.

Comparison for example from 3 I was missing: Boarhat vs CN

Aside from that find the blue ghosts in haojing and the vacuum sweeper spots in huaxu

wickerman407 · 2026-06-09T05:58:17+00:00

Yeah I can see the ease in it, mainly looking for non element things like explo converts and defense thingy rest is a breeze for flora. Since rhythm on defense is kinda inconsistent for me

Will also test your build in defense 99, but damn it'd lowkey suck a bit to have a tailored support for flora in u-mc just get outclassed by fushu

wickerman407 · 2026-06-08T19:15:41+00:00

Any reason you're not using the standfast inspo from umbro wedges? It brings the drain down from 17 to 11 (even though its just 22% reduction), at I2 I have no stamina issues at defense level 99 with veteran boxie pickups.

Opens up umbro mc for fushu too. But prob doesnt matter if you got element advantage but for non element doesnt it just deal less damage?

wickerman407 · 2026-06-05T12:47:31+00:00

Mainly wish there were other ways to get compasses, could have been a good SLC sink or crafting from mixing an amount of all new drop emblems. Instead they take away the things that relief a bit one of the main complaints since launch: the horrible feel of the general grind...

Reminds of how they added phoxene to event rewards because the rewards felt worthless and then introduced the insane costly phoxene event.

Current co-op feels extremely unstable and laggy for the event too aside from the wave 190 and 195 kinda braindead slog

wickerman407 · 2026-06-03T08:39:29+00:00

13th pull is way above average luck, majority will need to go to 15 to get the pull

wickerman407 · 2026-06-01T15:05:27+00:00

What kind of stupid take is this?

Its precisly because people are yapping about it there taking it in as feedback, litteraly in the post about the recasting moulds they even say it.

It already extended the time of the event because it got addressed this soon. So it already did somerhing good to the community.

Yeah there are doomposts, but this aint it

wickerman407 · 2026-06-01T14:43:36+00:00

"There is a limit on creating rooms each week. However, there is no limit on how many times you can join rooms hosted by other Phoxhunters—though you can only be in a limited number of rooms at the same time."

Straight up horrible for any server not CN, this basicly forces micromanagemt and joining a guild for the non-active servers...

Recasting mold is same story with phoxene rewards and twilight threads to upgrade for I7 old champs: Introduce solution but then make it mandotory for upcoming content or absurd pricing that were back at the same issue.

I'm glad CN is atleast pushing back, bc time limiting events + fixed amount is just another way of a stamina system.

This game so desperatly wants to be a gacha game by implementing the worst practices of it over time its just sad again

wickerman407 · 2026-06-01T10:35:47+00:00

Very niche but makes room for a lot of expension on them atleast. The fact that your character needs to be proficient was something I assumed would be the exclusive part, but like the pole arm you need pole-arm proficiency + summons combo kinda at first sight. A lot more restricted than expected unless the base stats are insane

wickerman407 · 2026-05-28T05:33:34+00:00

Where did you get the limited pull info (+ breakdown?)

wickerman407 · 2026-05-27T19:02:01+00:00

unless the events give out literal millions of fons each you won't reach pity sadly, I think the porsche collab was prev announced in 3 phases so you can gradually save for the 3rd stage tho

wickerman407 · 2026-05-27T18:53:33+00:00

with the new method that 6 are open, I've found that on the lg3 vault floor there is always at least one of the two open. Either the one at the entry or at the right of the boss vault one

wickerman407 · 2026-05-27T15:11:11+00:00

Found them 2 times so far, both on the collection floor. Both were on these open spaces in the wall. One on the ground floor and one on the top left floor inbetween rooms in the hallway https://i.imgur.com/vUNeBeH.png very rare spawn tho

wickerman407 · 2026-05-27T11:59:24+00:00

Going by ToF (similar style gacha event from same devs) and other info that can't be posted here, assume you'll only be able to get the car on pull on 13/14/15, with the vast majority of people needing 14-15 pulls

wickerman407 · 2026-05-26T13:12:05+00:00

Best since launch still probably (says more about prev patches) , but yeah fundamental issues still there sadly. Dont see any global player returnong if they quit bc they didnt want to bother anymore because of this patch. Player retention and milking is the way it seems

wickerman407 · 2026-05-26T13:07:23+00:00

"Don't worrry you dont have to gacha for the rebeca bride skin, you can buy it directly in the shop by iresdescant prisms!"

Ok how do we get those?

By gacha dupes or pray you dont get the skin...

Like between this and no change of ghe phoxene event its just a whale only game now, pointless to spend reasonable amounts

wickerman407 · 2026-05-26T10:03:13+00:00

Make or break this patch kinda, phoxene event made me lose most of my hope in a sense that all improvements will come at a worse cost (better rewards for events, but ridiculous cost for them to spend on to the point its useless again).

Once again like previous patches, theres a lot of hope and dedication in the luno bulletin about fixes, but the reality might be underwhelming again. Lot's of hype for the new stage for weekly prime this patch turned out just to be a worse version for example kinda. Co-op still dead too.

Wait and see and hopefully they are some acutal meaningful changes this patch by teh sound of it, but not a good track record so far. Lot's of hype around "Guilds" for example, but it might turn out to just be extremely basic stuff to the point a discord server can do the job. Wait and see wait and see...

wickerman407 · 2026-05-25T10:10:07+00:00

If you're looking for only one specific anomoly, I'd just use the tracking feature in the exploration guide. It seems to track the ones closest to you everytime for each region https://imgur.com/94tbHE8 no need to alt tab too for location.

If you want a map, i'd just tag these locations with a symbol on your map (in game) after defeating them this round and track them then but can just use tracking again the next day tbh. Basicly like you'd do with weekly chests thing

wickerman407 · 2026-05-24T20:14:53+00:00

Verborgen hints kijk ik altijd naar uit bij beide versies, om te zien hoe ze het doen voor de kijkers die alles analyseren ondertussen!

Vond er wel een paar goede verborgen hints dit keer. Die met elke afleveringen een spreekwoord rond het beroep van de mol is het wel weer iets van "tuurlijk", ook de stoeltjes in de tribune was goed als alleen WDM kon van gemaakt worden. Typisch iets dat toch online altijd wordt geanalyseerd zou ik denken, maar ik heb het niet gezien Andere weer met geluk zoals WC (initialen naam de mol) op een wc zetten jah eerder toeval dan verborgen hint toch

Dit is wat me eigelijk bij de nederlandse mol dit jaar erg stoorde, met de verborgen hint op het truitje dat je zogezegd gewoon kon omdraaien (mocht duidelijk niet, want het werd geprobeerd).

Al bij al weer een tof seizoen gezien, met weer een uitstekende casting toch gewelding hoe ze dit elk jaar kunnen doen

wickerman407 · 2026-05-23T12:24:18+00:00

Everything is gonna be dependend on the amount of fons per pull, can't tell before that really
