In the reddit link, you only need to do the directions for how to make the launcher skip file. You don't need to do the steam overlay shit.

If you've got any questions about where to put stuff, let me know.

My one suggestion is to back up everything you replace.

Also you'll need to redo the file replacement if you ever patch.

Is swapping audio files bannable? Like if someone streams it with this swap, could NCSoft ban them for tampering with files?

Took a while to get the whole set but it was worth it!

I mean, technically they could. I wouldn't think they would go through the trouble though.

 

[SDBurton]

So i decided around 1:30PM yesterday to roll BD for an alt as they're crazy good in PvP. As of right now (3:47AM) I'm already level 30. Taking a 2-3 hour nap and will be back up to hit 45 asap.

 

[Queen of Hunting]

still tweaking my reshade effects a bit but so far heres how its looking.

normal game (maxed out settintgs no downsample)

reshade (maxed settings in game no downsample or in game aa or driver aa just aa through reshade)

effects are smaa sharpening (only minor though i hate most reshade effects because they over sharpen things thus messing up aa) other effects im using aswell Tonemap, Levels (remove the white effect), LumaSharpen HBAO (game runs only SSAO ) Guassian blur (a simple effect for making a false aa) Emboss (for bump mapping)

[RellyRell28]

at 45 the first soul shield I should go after is the pvp one after the moonwater 45 one which I already bought?

 

[Rynam]

Mhh, is there a Wheel of Fate or something for the Moonwater Valor stones that you don't need, like there is one for the Viridian ones in the Desert, and one for the cinderland ones in the 3rd Act.

Or is there another use for the valor stones other than one Merchant?

 

[Fuz]

I'm a 45 ninja and still haven't figured out which talent is the blinding.

TAB from knocked down position.

Thanks. Really didn't notice it.

Also, is there a way to change the FOV and/or fix camera distance? It keeps resetting and it's really a problem in tag arena.

You use them to buy extra lives in dungeons. The dispenser before bosses in the harder dungeons.

Oh, the extra lives aren't free in the endgame Dungeons?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

You got to pay for that. Honestly, it isn't a big deal. You can probably survive without the extra lives and a lot of dailies offer them as rewards.

I don't think this is something they can detect

if they can it probably wont be asset files

So basically with crafting and gathering it's best to go with the Tree Fellers/Soul gatherers/Merry Potters combo?

 

[Seil]

So basically with crafting and gathering it's best to go with the Tree Fellers/Soul gatherers/Merry Potters combo?

From a profit standpoint, that's how it seems to me yeah. Other crafters need Merry Potters products, so there's always demand. Soul Wardens have the transformation stones for enhancing weapons and soul shield pieces that I believe are useful for enhancing your own, better soul shields.

Gatherers imo are just kind of there. They aren't especially profitable on their own, but since you need the mats anyway... Tree Fellers supports both of those crafts.

I don't know much about how it works out in the endgame, though, besides insanely expensive recipes and what appear to be small profit margins for large investments(includng time). And I have no idea how things will turn out in the long run as these crafts become increasingly saturated.

Looks a bit like crushed blacks.

I only added SMAA since I'm fine with the colors and everything else.

Not broken, I noticed the same. By level 15 it should all work. I dunno what level it actually unlocks at, though.

Okay, what server are you guys playing on? The OP doesn't state any specific server...

Are stats on purple siren belt and Poh shield random?
Is poh the best shield for assassin?

 

[Paprikka]

Are stats on purple siren belt and Poh shield random?

Not sure about the belt, but the soul shield pieces are somewhat random. Each piece can have one of three different values for the stats set for that piece, then one of three different bonus stats, of which you can get one of two possible values.
http://bns.endgame.pk/items/show.php?name=blackram_supply&type=soulshield&stage=0
You can go there and see it all listed if you want to see how good of a roll you got. Just take note that if your bonus stat is one already on the shield, it just gets rolled together with that one, so you might have to do a bit of math to determine exactly what you got.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

TIL that baby scales with hand size

https://www.reddit.com/r/bladeandso...ure_if_thats_your_baby_tho_babies_scale_with/

The general hand-held object scaling in this game is funny, you can test this by making a Destro in the character creator and adjusting the hand size and watch your axe get bigger and smaller.

 

[Fuz]

That's must've been a pretty painful delivery.

My experience as well. Out of the dozen or so times I have invited people I have only been denied twice.

Grind, RNG and obtuse crafting/weapon leveling mechanics (mostly designed to waste your inventory space and buy bags).

Yup. It's why I just do my 30 minutes of dailies and log.

Mushin's Tower will be fun, though.

What are premium points? Can they be spent like Ncoins?

 

[Pyros_Eien]

What are premium points? Can they be spent like Ncoins?

They're kinda like xp for your premium rank. The more you have, the stronger your premium benefits are, you can see the differences in the ranks. That's all they do, they can't be spent, they're just 10times what you spent in coins.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

What are premium points? Can they be spent like Ncoins?

Points you earn for buying things in the store. As you earn points, your rank up. Your rank determines what bonuses you get with Premium membership.

Ranks explained here: http://www.bladeandsoul.com/en/news/premium-membership

 

[Chariot]

What are premium points? Can they be spent like Ncoins?

No. Look at them as Shop Experience. You buy shit you get Premium Points. If you have enough you level up and gain imrpoved premium benefits if you have premium.

I've seen people mentioning this before... are people not seeing the images at the top of the OP?

This one:

Haven't been on the KFM today but I believe this is the build I'm using.

You're basically spamming R and 2 until your F (Cyclone Kick) procs. Keep using your RMB skill when available as it's your threat generator along with your counter skill and keep applying pressure points when available.

 

[Hubb]

I'm not seeing that.

I am still liking it but can't really disagree. I don't really care that much for the open world pvp quests (the one where you need to kill Waldo is the worst with so many people camping there - even in a group) but do them for money.

Bigger issue I have is so many people idling in 24 E Fleet and the insane ninja looting. I do like the arena dailies but sometimes as a FM I pretty much am chain stunned. That probably just has to do with my (lack of) skills. I smile when I do get grouped with 2 destroyers in Tag Team though. With a bit of luck one of them crushes all 3.

I've seen people say they do most of the dailies in around 90 minutes. Wish I could be that fast. e) all of it, dungeons, pvp, misty etc. Guess I should join the GAF guild haha.

I am done upgrading my earring, ring and weapon now so most of the direct need of money is gone now and the 'need' of capping dailies is as well for now. Do have to check out the belt and bracelet though. 'Done' since next step requires so much gold, mats and stuff that it's not worth it for me now.

 

[AmethystEnd]

This one:

I just scrolled through the OP. I don't see that image.

But beyond that, yeah, people fail at reading OPs, usually. They'll ctrl-F for the information they want (can't blame them) and text in an image obviously won't turn up in a ctrl-F.
