Well I just see the video game equivalent of this:

I figure that's the hook they're using to sell these and not, you know, working office women.
When I saw them, I was thinking they were going for the, "I just woke up from a Valentines marathon sex coma, and instead of putting on clothes, I'm just going to wear my significant other's (the player) shirt."

This is Japan, no one's having Valentines marathon sex!

My thought as well except without (the player) portion. I guess there are guys somewhere who will construe it that way but not sure if that was the actual intent. It's definitely a "morning after" outfit though.

I know that being a well adjusted and rational being would prevent one from assuming that the player would not relate it to themselves, but this is Japan we're talking about. They have an entire game genre for this purpose. :p

Just tried Blackwyrm.

Nope. Never again. What a stupid boss. If you don't have sub 80ms you can't dodge his attack.

Good thing it's totally optional.

Just farmed 33 profane essences and after the 8 turn the costume and the adornment dropped. Thanks, RNGesus, back to selling those things.

Interesting enough, sadpanda does not have any hentai content of B&S, only an entry with non-lewd art. Most of it is even more tame that the actual ingame costumes.

Somehow.

Was I wrong in getting/using the Fleet Supply Shield on my Force Master as the 'first 45' shield? I see some FM's running around / in dungeons with 38k HP and I am barely breaking 23k. What gives? Pvp shield I guess?

What should I aim for next? I adore the game but it is so bad at explaining things. So many currency that I don't even know what's it for etc.

The PvP shield gives the largest HP bonus at level 45 so probably.

Get the shield from grinding out mistwoods faction bosses, that'll do the trick. After that you can roll more pieces to get crit on them and/or get the green blackram shield to put crit on to it.

Go to PornHub like a normal human being.

Edit:

Actually, since this game is weeaboo as fuck, maybe Fakku or Exhentai.



Mm, sorry then, I dunno. Are you above level 15? There's also a level restriction.

I'm level 45.

But I bought the NCoins off Amazon so I'm not sure if that have anything to do with it.

Purple Supply Shield, even decently rolled is better for PVE than the PVP shield though. You don't need that many HP in PVE, you rather want more damage.

You can keep farming Supply Chain for better rolled soulshields (you can get blue and purple version in there), and farm the 6man version as well. Each of the purple rarity pieces can have random stats, but will always have HP (amounts are random). Try to focus on getting pieces with Crit / Accuracy / High HP. A well rolled set of purples will put you above 30k HP, I'd settle for around 27k+, works for me.

The soulshield set from Bloodshade Harbor will be better, so don't stress too much on getting the perfect rolls, nor spend too much money on fusing high crit ss into your set.

Try to get your weapon upgraded to True Profane, with a 25 atk power gem. That will be perfectly fine for the upcoming content, and will allow you to start gathering up the large amount of Soul Stones & Moonwater Transforms stones you'll need to upgrade your weapon to the Pirate version (a VERY nice upgrade). If you have the 25 atk power gem in a True Profane weapon, its not worth upgrading to the Siren weapon.

Job done guys! Only took me a bit longer than 3 hours including yesterday. :D

Thanks! It does cost quite alot of seals to open so I will just replace the three blues I still got. Think I only have around 40 unsealing charms left which seems very low (Both versions around 20/25). Keys I got so much though!

I almost am at the True Profane stage. Also still in need of a belt and bracers but those seem easy to come by.

Are you trying to solo it and are you level 45?

Ugh, have like 20 slots left to get the Daily dash outfit, and I keep rolling low numbers :/

How many days are left?

No, was in a full party and yes I just got to level 45 yesterday.

11 days are left on the Daily Dash.

Ugh, have like 20 slots left to get the Daily dash outfit, and I keep rolling low numbers :/

I still need to move 27 spaces, but rolling like 3 every day is enough since u get 2 spins a day. It's gonna be easy! :D U need to roll like 2 a day with 2 rolls a day lol.
 
So I'm trying out KFM with a controller. My main anicancel is now X~square~circle instead of LMB-2-F or R2F.

It's looking hopeful. The rhythm is so easy with just my thumb.

You guys weren't kidding though; navigating the UI with a controller is batshit insane. Also whoever had the bright idea of making sprint HOLD DOWN FUCKING STICK with no way to set it to toggle should be fired.

I have just started and gotten my Hongmoon weapon to stage 5 and it now needs breakthrough material.

I heard it's better to not use a key and just wait to level 15 to use the market? Is this true?

It's less frustrating to just use the market, that's for sure.

You could get lucky and get it in one chest, or you could blow all of your keys and not get it. The weapons are dirt cheap on the market.

Figures that the day I was gonna buy gem hammers, they skyrocketed in price... Ugh.

I'd say just use the market. It's easy, and you can spend a couple silver for an unsealed version rather than use an unsealing charm that's worth like 3x that. So you're saving on both the key(s) and the unsealing charm in the end. You'll hit another roadblock for a few levels afterward, anyway, so what's a short wait.

Edit: The price of the unsealed weapon will vary, so saying 3x was kind of bad I guess haha. But the charm is worth like 9s+, while the unsealed weapons are generally cheaper.

You'll go through your seals a lot faster at cap, but at the same time you can just buy more as you make a ton more money than you used to. Remember to buy them from the NPC though, they're cheaper than the market(only use market if you need an emergency seal or whatever, so like never).

The good PvE soulshield is the purple pohwaran, you can get pieces in poh24 but mostly you'll want to farm the 6man once it unlocks for them, people tend to bid 50copper to 5silvers per piece, although when it's their last piece they'll go crazy on it generally, but you can get a full set rather quickly and for cheap.

On the other hand, you need 3 seals per, so even assuming you don't unseal multiples, that's 24seals, which is a good amount of them. And most likely you'll want to unseal several of each to get the good rolls(which for almost every piece is crit, only like 3rd one and 7th one don't roll crit so you can get health or whatever instead, not sure if that's the right ones).

So mostly your soul shields costs are going to be the unsealing and the infuse(which cost like 10silvers each, but you need to retry a bunch of times to get good infuses). Use the green pohwaran crit soulshields to infuse they're great and cheap.

Can farm the Moonwater pvp one too, it's pretty easy just kinda boring. It's not that good for PvE, but it helps a lot to learn the fights when you have 35-40k health, and if you infuse crit on them, they're not really that bad.

The best part of this game for my life is that I can play it on my laptop and just mindlessly farm things while "spending time" with my wife. She can watch TV and I can zone out and farm.

Then when I actually want to play play, I get on my big boy computer.

There are really some assholes in this game when it comes to mobs. Worse I've seen in a game in awhile.

you can either change channels which only works if there is more than like 2 channels

or you can invite people to your party

the worst is the summoners that tag 2 monsters at once

id say this is more a problem with the game, if you do more than 25% of total damage you should be able to get the mob kill too
