Where can I find a description of all the item skills and effects? What is Burst?

The only place I know of to read about skills is in game. (inventory menu) Burst, Curse, Concussion (stun) and Poison are all status effects on weapons. Those weapons inflict said status on the target after enough attacks. Burst knocks a target away with an explosion. The extra damage involved is nice, but prepare to have some combos ruined. (as the enemy is knocked away) If you look back at the very first picture I posted on this thread, that weapon is a rifthound burst sword. Sold these gold ores and about 400 different weapon/armor shards for about 50,000 gold. Not a bad haul on top of the gold echo earns in his runs. Any of you guys do the hunt? Decent source of gems, especially during atonement. I usually go until I get about 2-3 losses. Not a bad win ratio if you ask me.

Haven't messed with Hunt much yet just trying to get through campaign and get a feel for it still. I need to experiment with different weapons, I have a 1h grade A now to try.

I just got an a level concussion lance earlier today, and it feels a little worthless, much to my chagrin. Too used to dealing mass damage with my Amax mortal sword.......maybe leveling up the eif hound sword in inventory will be worth it.....

Rift weapons are 30% stronger than regular weapons. The catch is, they're ridiculous to S+.
That's why I switched to a Mortal sword.
Any A lvl1 weapon is going to pale compared to an A MAX one.
Take that stun lance to a prowler or a Munin fight and it might really surprise you...
They get stunned easy.

Awwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Just two more armor pieces to S+. They only take 3 ambers a piece. The longest part will be compositing 4 B's into 2 A's into 1 S, then max it.

Whoo very nice sir! I'm pretty happy about 30+ as of today.

Hey Thomas, is Echo running low level stages with a ton of enemies that drop D level shards and selling the shards a viable gold mining strategy?

Post by Thomas Eversole on Dec 11, 2016 4:32:58 GMT -6
I wouldn't think so since D shards are just pocket change. I take echo where he can do quick runs, hit boxes and/or specific drops.
1-1 NG3, 3-1 NG3, 5-8 NG2 and 6-7 NG2 are my favorite places to turn echo loose. ...my most favorite is 5-8 NG2 because it's the most gold, hands down. (Ng3 is way too hard for my echo)
You'll want to grind the highest game you can. If you're on NG+1, you should be able to at least echo 1-1. (For 100% box hits)
I wouldn't be grinding New Game unless that's all you've unlocked.

By the way, I raid quarries CONSTANTLY. That's another major source of gold...

Thanks! I was curious because I was sorta looking at running a stage that hits a couple hundred gold automatically, has lots of enemies (I've run stages where I'm snagging 9 or more D shards ), and an ore or two, and netting what would be between 700-1200 gold per echo run, depending on ores and grades........at the moment, I'm needs higher grade shards more, though.
The quest to S level items is a long grind.......

The sooner you make your way to NG2, the easier it will be to S your equipment.

Thanks for all these tips, guys. I'm to where I can understand just about everything you say now. Lol! I haven't seen a weapon with Concussion yet I don't think... Am I missing something? Prowler is supposedly weak to Concussion. And what am I working toward in Hunt? Just reward for rank? A person would have to just Hunt all week for a good reward wouldn't they? And I'm liking 1h sword a lot. What's next you would suggest I practice with (other than dual wield)? Lance or Gauntlet? Which will help me more? And wow final boss fight was pretty unforgiving, still not sure how to dodge some of that, I had to bite the bullet and resurrect twice. Any tips? I lean pve so I know final boss not very good to farm but I still like to fight bosses for the challenge. The D2'er in me coming out. Thought beyond a point of gear in that game (D2) even the boss fights became easy and farmable. That whole game was a gear fest (just how I like it lol).

That's why I'd recommend making a dash to New Game +1 Deepfriar. Prowler drops curse weapons. Lyrius drops poison. Dainn drops concussion. Bloodwed drops burst. Munin and Lyrius, their armors from NG+2 on...
You can also get all of the above and then some, if you're lucky, from the 24 hour complimentary draw from the shop.
Kerr (the last boss) isn't too hard. I told Exo my strategy for beating him earlier in the thread. Doing that and having some night resistance, you'll do just fine.
Kerr doesn't drop anything, but there's gold for achievements if you go that route.
Hunt I only play during atonement. You can get some gems if you rack up a decent amount of faith...

Gauntlets are supposedly hard to use. You could really funlock the hell out of people with lances. They have excellent defense...

Yeah I'm in NG+1 currently, trying to progress at steady pace. I found a faster way to farm in my other game which frees up more time for Ire. I'm 35 I think, if last round of Echo gained a level (it probably did).

Yep. You're lvl35. I removed a few of my boons from my list. Had a couple accounts that didn't log in for more than a few days. I'll definitely keep you guys since you're still playing. I'm a little bummed Adam stopped playing at character lvl2.

Post by Deepfriar on Dec 11, 2016 15:51:22 GMT -6
So you can only use a boon that's online? Or I feel like you might have said you get more bonus if they are?

Post by Thomas Eversole on Dec 11, 2016 16:28:30 GMT -6
You can use a boon if the summon is available, whether they're online or not. The only difference with them being online or not is if they get bone shards because you used their character. The reasoning behind discarding a boon that is no longer being played has to do with their growth. The lvl65 and lvl66 boons I fired is because they'll never be 70 and I won't get bone shards when they use me.

You guys should really tackle this penitence. Don't worry about your gear - we all play as thonius with a lightning lance. Beat it and you get 100,000 gold. I had someone tell me a winning strategy and it worked for me.
Run up and down the map without targeting enemies, until your lethal attack charges. Circle the mob so they bunch together tightly. Target an enemy and unleash your lethal attack. You can hit 4-5 enemies at the same time. Repeat.
I only used devastate combos and lethal attacks... ...because I suck at lances.

I'll have an S level mortal sword shortly. Need a little gold and a few ambers, and I'm good to go.

Post by Deepfriar on Dec 12, 2016 11:05:05 GMT -6
Hmm I don't think I have full Thonius set up right now or a usable lance. I'll have to work on that!

Post by Thomas Eversole on Dec 12, 2016 12:07:21 GMT -6
You know you don't need that for penitence right? You play as thonius with that equipment. You get to use it as soon as you play penitence, and the first time is free.

Very nice! What is advantage of mortal over elemental? Increased stagger?
And no I didn't complete it. I should have kept trying but I ended up wanting to do other things. I'm still too new I think, need better gear so I've been focusing on making it to NG+2.
