Oh one other question: how do I tell if the King's Sword that drops is heroic or not?

Quick question: is the main thing I'm looking for with gear drops the 3 open sockets? I know there are variable stats but I probably won't be able to dedicate enough hours to be quite that picky but I'm assuming I want at least the three sockets, yes? All Rift equipment can drop 4 open slots. It has to drop B grade if its to be 4 open, the best C grade has to offer is 3. 4 open King swords are quite rare, but they're there. Campaign and expansion gear can drop 3 open, but those drops have to be B or A grade to qualify. The best slots a C grade gear piece can drop are 2. I wish I could chat more but Discord and Freeforums and Facebook etc. are all blocked at work so I have to use my cellphone (which I can't keep out all the time at work). No worries bro. Ask your questions here. I got you. I've played this hours a day for 18 months. I know it like the back of my hand. Oh one other question: how do I tell if the King's Sword that drops is heroic or not? All King Swords are Heroic. All Aker's Spears are Heroic. Its kind of a new class system in Ire. ...and higher the class, the better it is. All quest and expansion gear is labeled as "common". Rift gear drops "otherworldly" and is statistically stronger. "Heroic" is stronger than otherworldly, and legendary is the strongest. If you press on any armor or weapon piece in inventory, it not only says the name, but each class has a different background color on its icon. Common gray, otherworldly bluegreenish, heroic maroon, legendary purple.

oh... and the king sword's specialty is lightning, physical, stagger. You'll want to invest in these 3 skills. This weapon is incredibly strong and stagger does a great job of keeping you safe. (they can't attack if they keep flinching )

Nice I like the sound of all that! And yeah I think I quit playing right around the time they started adding a bunch of new stuff. Doh! Bad timing lol. Oh well, I just have to play catch up. I'll start keeping an eye out for light and stagger armors/shards.

I think I quit playing right around the time they started adding a bunch of new stuff. Doh! Bad timing lol. There's been updates to the game about every month, so if you know how many months you haven't played, that's about how many updates there have been. XD Don't think you've got to rush to meet some sort of quota. There's all sorts of skill levels in Ire, all sorts of builds. I've seen you throw out a few PvP challenges - and I like it how "friendly" the context is with PvP. Single matches, literally winners only get 1 more coin than losers - the reward is really just playing. Only thing to watch out for in PvP bro..... maces. They literally jack up the whole balance of player vs player, and max stun res (75%) doesn't help. Every other weapon type literally has to work for every hit to make a kill. A strong mace with a high stun skill only has to work for 2 hits - then they can just let their dog lick the green and red buttons to finish winning the match. (stunlock - the opponent will never be able to move again since another stun will happen before the prior stun is done) This makes Heroic Vidar Maces even more powerful than any legendary weapon - purely because of how much stun just turns anyone you're fighting into a helpless, sitting duck.

Been having a lot of fun with Ire (again). If you can play a game hardcore, leave for months, and then come back and be just as excited about the game, that's saying a lot isn't it? The combat and gear system is so rich, and the gameplay modes are diverse enough to keep it fresh... what a great game, eh?

The combat and gear system is so rich, and the gameplay modes are diverse enough to keep it fresh... what a great game, eh? Yes. This game is EXACTLY what I've been looking for a long time. Since my first smartphone, I've been little more than a mobile gaming whore. Download a game and either get frustrated and bail by the training holding me hostage, or I REALLY like the game, but I've consumed all the content in a few weeks/months and the development team are ghosts and nothing new gets added ever. Ire Blood Memory is not like that at all. The devs are very active and alive, and talk to people! The game gets updated about every month. The balance is good except for broken-ass stun, and I love that it takes as long as it does to grow a character into a whale. (ie: I don't reach the character cap in a couple weeks/months and then look for something else to play) My growth on my main set is slow, but.... there's still some growth to be had. (some skills I don't have maxed) The Deepest Rift is hard enough, its a good idea to work on specialized equipment. That's just a better incentive to grind, gear up and keep going. So much fun. Just fun by the bushel I say!

So far, I've seen two players (LifeLove and Warriorsoul) that have the same weapon as me. I dig having such a rare weapon!
Vidar Mace's on the other hand, I think most lvl80 players have this weapon.

Deepfriar, Got a guild seat open bro if you're interested. Its the guild I started when guilds came out, exo is an officer in it. (named Disgyblaeth, same name as the martial industrial music I made) We're ranking and regularly summon Mot. The perks of guilds - its the only way to fight Mot. You can get the most powerful equipment in the game from him, but.... its a game of luck. I'm lucky enough to have gotten a heroic sword. I've only seen 1 legendary sword in the entire game, out of all the players that have been trying to get one. Guild members, when they grind (everywhere but quests and PvP) they get tribute. Tribute is the currency for guild ranking - we're currently #14 out of all guilds. We got some bros that play a lot, myself included. The end of the season we get guild coins and gems. (guild coins are what's needed to summon Mot - 9k of them per summon) I only ask that you max pledge. Apart from ranking once a month, pledges are the only source of guild coins. It takes 30 players 3 days to pledge enough coins to summon Mot. (max pledge costs either 100k gold, 250 bones or 200 gems - I always pick the gold option myself. My wife picks bones because she has over 90k of them) No pressure if you'd rather not join. If you do decide to join, you've got a bunch of gold and scrolls waiting for you to give you a boost. Let me know ASAP or just apply - guilds can only hold 21 applications at one time, and being that we're ranking, every player and their grandma applies....

So this level cap raise (80 to 90) is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool. Supreme leagues (lvl81 up) just started for the BoD and Hunt. I missed the opening of the BoD, (only 8 players made it) but I made it to the Hunt opening. From what I can tell, there are only 15 players (including myself as one of the 15) that made it to this Hunt season's Supreme League. There's not even enough players for anyone to rank below 20 - no matter how little we hunt..... so this is easy EASY pickings for gems and splinters. (I could care less about the splinters, but I'm all over those gems) I'm bound and determined to be one of the first (if not the first) to reach level 90. Its a MASSIVE wall of XP needed though. One of the Discord bros said it took him 37k bones just to go from lvl80 to 81 - but the XP skill doesn't work for world bosses. It works for quests though - and NG4 is loads of XP, and doesn't cost anything to play other than the time to play it. I've refined my XP grind to be VERY efficient.... Still..... it took 7.7 million XP to go from 80 to 81 - and over 8 million XP to go from 81 to 82. I'm currently 31% of the way to 82. Luckily, quest grinding is my zen...

Thank you so much for the guild invite! I don't know if I should accept though because I don't want to hold you guys back. I'm only level 69 right now and sometimes only get to play a handful of times a week. I always try to hit my surprise login bonuses though so I usually have lots of gold and bones and gems so I wouldn't have any trouble making pledges so I'll leave it up to you if you think I should join or not. How do the Mot fights work? Do you have to be online at the same time as guildies or can you do it solo as personal time permits?
I've done Deeper Lyrius several times when I get enough time to play and still haven't gotten a King's Sword to drop yet but a Tarnished Sword dropped. I don't really want to level the Tarnished though because I've already been using a Night Sword this whole time and want to change it up. I'll just keep farming and see what happens.
My problem is I don't have all my armor S+ Max where I quit playing for several months so I can't even do NG4 content yet. I'm working on it slowly but surely though.
It is by far the best game on mobile, hands down no question.

I don't know if I should accept though because I don't want to hold you guys back. I'm only level 69 right now and sometimes only get to play a handful of times a week. No holding back on this end - only helping out. lvl69 is stronger than a lot of bros I've had in the guild. I've had some lvl30s do great - until they lost interest or stopped playing. What I'm looking for in guild bros is someone that can pledge daily. Its an app launch, guild button, pledge button, swipe the lever over, press another button. Done in 30 seconds. 500 tribute in 30 seconds. Even my busy busy wife can find 30 seconds every 24 hours to pledge and help the guild. You don't need to grind (tribute) for me bro. We've got enough heavy hitters (myself included) that we'll finish this season around #15. ....but we need all the pledges we can get to stay current on the Mot summons.... If you don't want to pledge, or just don't want to join for whatever reason, no worries. I've actually got a full guild again, but I'm about to kick this random who hasn't pledged.... You can have his seat if you want it. I've done Deeper Lyrius several times when I get enough time to play and still haven't gotten a King's Sword to drop yet but a Tarnished Sword dropped. I don't really want to level the Tarnished though because I've already been using a Night Sword this whole time and want to change it up. I'll just keep farming and see what happens. Exo prefers the King, I'll fully concede that its a superior blade..... but the Tarnished is a very VERY effective weapon, and I would much rather use it than King. King and Tarnished have the highest critical of ANY blades - even higher than the legendary deathly sword. Critical hits proc for 30% more damage. Night will have more night than a Tarnished or even OW Deathly Sword but.... Tarnished has the magic combination of stagger and poison. Poison not only drains health, but stop poise (that white "flinch" meter) from recovering. Tarnished has more stagger than any OW (or OW made) blade. My problem is I don't have all my armor S+ Max where I quit playing for several months so I can't even do NG4 content yet. I'm working on it slowly but surely though. I hate to burst your bubble, but S+MAX gear isn't enough to survive NG4. ....at least, I couldn't survive it in that gear. You'll want transcended armor for sure. S+MAX+10 at least, IMO. For instance, NG4 1-2, even with 10k flame res, Greater Ash will murder you in I'd say 1-3 hits. T-T I cleared NG4 from 1-1 to 7-6 with a +30 tarnished. Again, the magic of stagger and poison together. You green green green mobs, they all flinch.... and poison depletes a PERCENTAGE of health - so the massive HP they have, don't matter. Proc poison, stagger, kite, win NG4.

And if my lack of hardcore grinding won't hinder the guild I can definitely join. Shouldn't have a problem making pledges because I log in every day. If I ever do start lagging behind please please just kick me I won't get butthurt lol but right now I'm willing to try to pledge every single day. Let me know when seat is empty and I'll apply, or you can invite if it's possible from your end. Name is Deepfriar. Thanks again for offer bro!

If I ever do start lagging behind please please just kick me I won't get butthurt lol but right now I'm willing to try to pledge every single day. Usually for the guild, if I see someone that hasn't connected for 2d or 3d, I kick them. That's if they're that unannounced. Now if its a buddy with something going on, of course I can make an exception - but I want to know beforehand to know how many guild coins I'll be out of. Let me know when seat is empty and I'll apply, or you can invite if it's possible from your end. Name is Deepfriar. Thanks again for offer bro! I've got a seat open now, but I'm wanting to fill it quick. Guilds aren't like boons, where you can send a request or ask for them to send a request. If someone wants to be a member, they have to apply, and I've got to accept the application. Its not possible to invite someone to a guild. If by the time you see this I've filled the seat (again, I don't want empty seats for long) just keep an eye on the guild in the rank. If you notice from the rank that we're not 30 / 30 members, then please submit an application! You can also do a partial search for the guild and see it. "disg" and search works.

I don't think I'm supposed to be able to do it with sub par gear which is probably why I can't do it lol Night will work well on the chaplains, but the boss really needs to be hit with wind. 3rd expansion is harder than the 2nd, and 2nd harder than the first. If you're in it for the ambers, I'd stick with Morgan - he gives out plenty. If you want a shield - you'll probably want S+ gear before you give Rector another shot. Also, an XP grind wouldn't hurt. Passive spalls that drop from world bosses can appraise as an XP shard. Even though level doesn't make any stats larger, but it does scale with the game handicap.... and help with HP and effect resistance. ie: lvl70 fighting a lvl90 enemy, will definitely be tougher than a lvl80 fighting a lvl90 enemy.

I'm trying to grind xp at least one round of echo per day. I'm about 35% to 70. I'm echoing NG3 1-3 because it's the only stage I can echo that has blade and scavenge bonus. I wonder if I'm coming out ahead on that or not, or would I be better off doing a stage without blade bonus?

Also, I am aware you can Echo world bosses now but I don't understand how that works with the boss levels. Won't the boss keep getting higher level until you can't Echo anymore? (I.e. The boss gets too hard to Echo for two hours) Sorry for asking so many questions lol but you are an expert and I did read your entire FAQ and didn't find the answer.

Echoing world bosses is better suited towards overpowered players - who can turn echo loose on lvl150 and it just keeps playing it. Sorry for asking so many questions lol but you are an expert and I did read your entire FAQ and didn't find the answer. Ask all the questions you need to my friend - though, you won't have to wait for me to check the forum for an answer if you join Discord again. I'll give you access to our private guild channel.

Deepfriar, you're in bro. Mentioned you in that channel. Hey, there's about 12 hours left on Mot. Noticed you haven't played him. We always summon at the same time. When timed Munin starts, and when Penitence starts. (timed Prowler is half over) MOT summons last 24 hours. If I got the times right for you, he's summoned Thursday 11am and Sunday 11pm.

exo, you hanging in there bro? Man, the chat spammers have been hell lately. The devs are trying to put a stop to them, but these jerks can make new IPs and use different domain names to bypass censors... They're kicking around ideas, I've sent a few their way as well. One way or another, we're trying to put a stop to all that nonsense. Also, I don't think I can realistically increase that more without swapping for a heroic piece of armor of some kind... A heroic pair of those Advocate's Shadow pants would look great and further up my stats.... but I don't have time to mess with him right now. I'm almost 90% to level 87....
