Blade & Soul |OT| Kiss From A Rose

So in Jadestone Village we can except a quest that we can't even finish due to content being unavailable. LMFAO why? Also I left the guild. Sorry but when I log on and only one other person is on I think I'm going to have to go somewhere else

Alrighty. Made it to 45 on my KFM. True Profane 10 Weapon and Accessories are right before Awakened Siren. Should I just run to 50 and worry about everything after? Is going through Siren path still the best for the weapon now?

Yes to both, imo. If you find the time do the Poh/BSH dailies (6-man dungeons too) for the mats and the upgrade/evoultion weapons.

I played a warlock for a bit (level 30) and take way too much damage. I have the feeling I'm doing something wrong. The class isn't really as fun as I thought it would be.

I think Gold will be the main problem. lol
 
Yup Sealed Palace Raiments from 4 man Necro. Pain the ass to farm haha.

I saw one of these drop when I did a run with a PUG, I think it's probably my favorite in the game so far. It ended up being bid to over 300G, not sure if that's how normally high it goes. At least I got good monies.

Ran across this on Reddit.



Wonder how true this is. =x Guess those Chi Master buffs helped!

It seems like from what other posters are saying in that thread, there is a lot of misinformation. One person goes into a bit more detail about one aspect of the discussion. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Can't seem to find how the test was actually done either.

Yeah, it's nothing to worry about. The content between us and them is still staggering to the point where it's just a fun thing rather than something to worry about.
 
Since I had 50 gold on me finally bought me an AP sparkling pentagon diamond. Brought me to 480 AP.

This is enough to 4-man the current highest dungeons right? At least until the 27th

Well, my KFM is like 5% away from 50. Im working on my soul wardens to start making moonwater stones for my upgrades. Just bought some good gems. Doing okay. Looking forward to running some dungeons.

Ok so more gear people did a run and top damage is Force Master>Assassin>Summoner=Destoryer>Chi Master not a good blend on the tanks but the variance between the last and the middle is small.
 
SSP in Mushin is getting pretty fucked up by hackers and bots. Every channel is being dominated during the early morning now it seems. They don't even mine they just come after Suljin dies.


On a semi related note. I hope whoever designed King Grindtooth was fired....from a cannon.

AP isn't all that important. It's just what all those idiots in the dungeon finder use to determinate your skill.

Your crit rate (50%+) and crit damage (200%+) are way more relevant.

I know that I'm just asking if it's enough to get those idiots off you back about it.

Haven't played in a week but 480 was enough for 4man pub Necro/Lair in most cases. Yeti groups tend to ask for 500. Also Necro/Lair I'd say half are 500+ also, but other half is 470-480 so you can get in. After the patch I'd expect people asking more though, so you'll obviously want to keep upgrading. Get Oathbreaker bracers if you haven't yet, it's a ton of AP. You lose crit dmg if you have python, but if you don't it doesn't matter too much.

I see you can buy the belt. Is the bracelet a drop from msh?

Siren is a drop from boxes in Efleet or bosses in Blackram Fleet(poh 24 and 6), Pirate is a drop from boxes in Nightshade or bosses in Bloodshade. Boxes are very RNG and need to kill a bunch of bosses so not very reliable, better run the 6man probably.

Can also buy both for 20 emblems of the corresponding type, which you get 3 of from daillies(1daily for 6man clear, 1 for all bosses clear in 24man and 1 for last boss clear in 24man which is a pain to do if there isn't a lot of people in the 24mans). You can also buy emblems on the cash shop, so can find someone to gift them and pay them in gold, but obviously you could be scammed in the process, no idea what's the rate on these either but probably around 40g or so? Not sure. Vendors for these are at the entrance of the dungeons, although you can find pirate vendor in hogshead too.

You can also buy the pirate emblem chests on the market which have 5 emblems in them. They might get expensive with trove ending though. There won't be any new ones coming into the market. I'm holding on to 4 right now and they were 10g each on server shutdown.

Thanks guys. I managed to advance my weapon to Awakened Siren, belt/bracelet to right before Oathbreaker and other accessories are right before Siren. Only limiter is Gold right now which I'll earn as I can. KFM has been super fun. Looking forward to diving into lvl 50 content on these days off. Trying to research builds and learn how to play the class better too. =x

It took me around 20 deaths but I beat Naksun :D Considering my skill at this game I'm really happy with that. It was hard for me on my FM especially since my Accuracy was only around 113 so quite a few hits were whiffing., I can imagine how it must be for Melee without reliable blocks D:
 
So did a few runs of Sogun's Lament with the clan, i like it plus i made a lot of gold people bidding 10G for petals and 5G for Asura shield pieces.

Did Sogun's Lament without knowing the mechanics. Made it to Asura but couldn't beat him. :(

Will try again tomorrow. I got it next time.
 
I wish I could find a "So, you're a new 50!" type post somewhere for the current content. lol

I think there was one somewhere on reddit.

Thing is it really depends on a bunch of factors, such as how much you play, wether or not you mind doing pvp and wether or not you prefer doing solo daillies, group daillies or dungeon daillies, this kind of stuff.

None of the 45 stuff was completely invalidated however, other than maybe Naryu(and even that isn't so bad since the soulshield is actually really good even at 50). You still kinda want to do Blackram Fleet and Bloodshade Harbor to get siren/pirate items to upgrade with, as well as the daily money, as well as upgrade materials(poharan perfumes and machismos), especially if you're not well geared. Mushin is good for money from daillies.

Goal is to get as much money per day as you can to upgrade your gear, that'll depend on the factors I mentionned. You'll have to look into how much time you have, and how best make use of that time doing stuff that you find the least annoying.

You might not be able to do the current 50 purple dungeons, but the blue ones/45 purples you can do for money. Blue ones aren't great though, but they give good xp. Once you reach 400 or so AP you can probably queue for 6man purples.

Doing arena daillies is also good money, kinda. If you're gold, you can get 30soulstones a day or so from doing your daillies only, and you get the cert from doing mushin 7(which requires low gear really).

You can fill up the rest of your time with 46+ blue daillies like in the last few zones, or if you're ranged you can probably get credit on various world bosses stuff for those daillies(plog sanctum 3bosses/gigantura, big bad beetle in beastbog, harvest square event).

24mans(frostscale and beastbog) are also good for xp, but not so good in terms of time spent for the gold.

Try to do your daily xp bonus thingie they just added, 4 objective, gives free shit.

In terms of gearing, I would say get to infernal accessories+true profane weapon, buy a 25AP diamond(was 30ish golds last time I checked), then upgrade weapon to true siren or that other path thing(I don't know if you can go back to pirate from the other path?), then upgrade accs to true siren(maybe leave neck at awakened siren to save some money), then pirate bracelet to awakened oathbreaker, then weapon to true pirate/awakened breeze.

For siren/pirate versus new path, I'm not sure what's best atm, you'd want to check the list of materials and compare. Siren/pirate should be a lot cheaper, but it involves getting weapon drops from the various 45 dungeons, which can be a pain in the ass, especially storm siren and dark pirate which are from the 24man. Can buy emblems on the cash shop(or for pirate on the market) to skip that part though.

So.... Force Masters are everywhere. Are they that fun or just easiest to use in SSP? lol

It's probably the latter. Though I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the class actually being fun to play. I mean, being successful often means having fun.

Thanks for the advice. I did happen to find the reddit link too but your post helped a lot as well.

Here is where I currently sit.


Right now, my goal is to get enough money and mats to upgrade the bracelet since that looked like the biggest jump. Also, to learn the new blues and what purple dungeons I can get into. I did some Frostscale which wasn't bad. Tried GHS and...nah. Just nah. Will try more Mushin's since I need to learn to beat Jung on up too.

Any suggestions based on the screen?
 
Breeze Belt is better than Siren 10 by a fair margin iirc? Not too sure. Similarily, you might want Breeze Bracers until you upgrade. That is, if you have these already, you might not, you get some from 24man and the other stuff like Plog Sanctum but yeah

Anyway accessories definitely, but since you're still at infernal it might be better to do awakened siren everything before you get awakened oathbreaker bracers. I forgot the values but the jump from infernal to awakened siren on accs is actually quite noticeable in terms of AP, and the cost should be super low with moonwater stones being worth a lot less. Doing both should only take like 2-3days if you're doing a bunch of daillies.

Your crit is also super low, I guess bracers would help there, as well as ring upgrade, but your soulshield might be the issue. I guess you got that from the trove boxes rather than yeti, so you didn't get perfect rolls and stuff. You might be better off using other soulshields with more crit on each piece until you can farm yeti, like Naryu, BSH 3/5/7 if you don't have yeti crit on these or bandit/plog if you get those and they roll crit. Also make sure to infuse them with crit. See if you can get some Northern Critical soulshields for kinda cheap, the lower ones are like 25-30s each, should add a good amount of crit.

That said 408 should be enough for people to not leave instantly if you LFG purple dungeons, probably too low to get into groups being made for daillies and stuff so it'd be kinda random wether or not you complete them. I guess you should at least do Lair, it's the easiest of the 3 first purple dungeons. Necro should be doable too and gives the most gold and xp out of the 3.
 
Do your gems get destroyed if you upgrade your weapon to the next stage?

Wondering if I should hold on putting the 25AP diamond on if I manage to get one.

No. The only thing that happens if you upgrade to a weapon that reset the gem count like the new ones is you're forced to unequip your gems, and you have to buy some more gem hammers to reopen the slot. You can't lose the gems cause you can't upgrade before removing them.
