RED update thoughts and feedback

Leveling Herbalism is the worst.

I got a Profession Upgrade Coupon from Root Abyss yesterday. Thank god for that. I hope I get another one. The only issue is that they expire in 7 days. Hopefully I can hit level 9 before then.

I just noticed that the 12 str and 3% dex I had on Lapis and Lazuli became 13 str and 4% dex. Must've happened when they evolved.

Yeah, and my 6% Str became 7% Str when it upgraded at 170.

Two bad the other two lines are bloody useless..... but I don't want to blow all my Meso on trying to get anything better.

And Cello isn't selling Gears of Rebirth anymore?! What the pineapple?! There goes my plan to do 3 Kritikas runs during 3x EXP......

Not sure if any of you guys knew this but you can extract the Silent Crusade scrolls.

So easy and cheap (practically free) Mana Crystals and Essence.

Well, mages are at a massive disadvantage against the sea dragon boss. that stupid super knock back attack. I see absolutely no reason why teleport skills are blocked on the ship.

For any class with Flash Jump, if you get knocked back you can just jump back straight away and continue fighting.

On my Kanna, I got knocked back, had to walk (incredibly slowly) back to the boss, only to be knocked back again. by the time I got back to the boss, more than a quarter of the timer had been lost, and then its glitchy hitboxes made it impossible to kill in time.

It is also annoying during normal enemy waves, if they spawn on top of the raised platform, and you can't hit the enemies from down below, then you have to practically hug the enemies in order to hit them.

For some reason, Zero's teleport/dash attack is blocked, but his regular teleport is not, you can teleport through the bottom of the ship...

*Lags out and gets disconnected while using the daily 2x EXP buff.*

Why does this pomegranate always have to happen to me?!

I'm surprised how fast Temple of Time leveling is going though. It feels like it's going faster than Ludibrium did thanks to better quests.

Edit: No quests for 175, just pure grinding, lol.

And it looks like 177 will be the same.

Mihile's Link Skill is handy for this

Chief Bandit is utterly insane.

I got my Bandit from 40-81 today. I had my 2x everyday coupon on from around 3:45- sometime around level 65 when I disconnected. After I advanced, I just Phase Dashed from each side of the map and leveled every couple of minutes. After I DCed I still got in some training. Also for my first MPE for the day, I got the Forbidden Time room and got 5 levels.

Agreed there. Phase Dash is just crazy, it's like the old Mechanic rush skill, except far better because it hits twice, four times with shadow partner. I made one for the All4One event, and even completely unfunded I was just wrecking everything.

Welp, I got Level 5 Rhinne's Blessing. I even got the Crit Ring as a backup, which I wasn't expecting until 180. (100% Crit Rate for Alpha!) Now I'm not sure if I should bother grinding the last two levels.

How strong are the bosses that drop Sweetwater gear? Could an unfunded Zero with Gold Label set expect to beat them?

Grosso Polpo should give you no trouble, but I'm doubting your ability to beat Livyatan.

People are comparing Livytan to normal Magnus.

Is that a fair comparison?

Not even close.

Honestly levi is only hard dueto the timer. To be honest it's all about damage in as short of time as possible. Other than that, he's weak and just really a punching bag.

You have ~40 seconds (haven't timed it exactly; would welcome input) to put down a bit under 2 billion damage... that's the hard part.

Fortunately all those +60 atk 30 second Hyper skills work out just fine for this purpose (also the 10% damage lv.200 one)... but you still need to be able to hit on the order of 50 million per second to kill it, which is fairly high.




Best comparison's probably easy Hilla and Krexel in terms of how you attack it; but Hilla has 315m (and 50% damage reduction) and Krexel has 900 million HP, so you need to be able to put those down in like 15 and 20 seconds of all out attacking.


Personally I don't expect to be able to kill Livyatan on any of my characters with ~100-150k ranges so I'm gonna stick to Grosso Polpo. Haven't seen any proof of Livyatan having a crazy Sweetwater droprate so it's all good.

Oh man, I managed to beat Livvy barely before the time limit ran out. I had to deck on all my damage boosters: echo, 30%dmg hyper, 10%dmg hyper, mpe potions.

So, I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but when cubing Zero's weapon, If you get something, It's doubled. If you get 30% boss, your stats window will go up by 60% boss, I dont know if it's ACTUALLY gone up by that much, but if so that's pretty overpowered.

Its intended, to be fair any normal person can do that by just getting the same potential on their sub weapon, Zero just has a much easier time doing it.

Your other half's weapon counts as your secondary weapon / shield.

Adding to this, mihile link + mech card + buff mastery = 100% stance 98% chance ish of the time! Pretty good for livyatan's KB if you're an explorer mage.
On the other hand, I can't seem to successfully transpose my emp staff to the Sweetwater staff my friend got me. Running out of denaros just to do it

Root Abyss gave me a Red Arzuna recipe today.
Red Arzuna doesn't even need a recipe now. >__>
