And I have beaten Nir on NG+3 with a score of D lol. I'm on the very next level actually. Got stuck there about a week ago and haven't tried to progress further yet, been working on upgrading and world bosses etc.

I think I made it to like world 5 and then stopped... kept grinding until I had S+ weapons and armor, then I flew through the rest. 6-7 is REALLY FUN on NG3. Its just utter chaos when you have your character, a boon, an invader, Aker, Dainn and Bloodwed all fighting at the same time! I've been practicing beating world bosses as fast as I can, since the update will have "timed" rewards. My best run is solo (no boon), lvl96 Munin. I even still carved (though the carve was weak HAHA!!), but look at that glorious clear time! Another update, the mods on Discord voted and promoted me to "Seeker". DeepFriar, I know you've been on Discord, but seriously - lots of protips, custom artwork, we're the first to get updates (straight from the devs) and good convo. Have yet to see any trolls! Exo, if you want to join the Ire room, you can do so here: discord.gg/NumcB7D (app for mobile or PC)

that point where you aren't strong enough to progress well in game, but even solo, you have to be SUPER careful fighting Klaus so you don't accidentally kill him before you can carve him for a treasure box.....LOL!

Oh yeah, when it comes to deep Klaus, I learned quick how not to overkill him. Literally 2 presses of the red attack button from my character, he's incapacitated with 90% of his health gone.
That's why I like deeper Klaus better. Not only because of the chance at gold chests and A gear, but that I can at least get one full combo in before he's lying on the ground. LOL

More updated notes! I won't post them again because they're listed in the feed in game. Good news for you Exo - rift weapons will get a boost. That will make that sword of yours even more of a beast! Speaking of rift weapons, I've been secretly trying to get a Tarnished Sword from Lyrius. I joked with one of the Discord mods that "my luck, since I want Tarnished, I'll get a King's Sword.". I then used the last Lyrius pass I had in my inventory and laughed out loud when I saw this... Its a 4 slot weapon at C grade, which means it will be 5 slot at B and 6 slot at S. (that rule applies for all equipment) I wanted a Tarnished because its DARK and "Fashion Souls" and all, but this is undoubtedly a better sword for me. (since I already have a killer night sword) Just finished my LAST piece of S+ armor. (same Lyrius Cuirass I was wearing, but this one has more slots) Now all my gear averages out to 5 slots a piece. (all are 5 except my boots are 4 and my gloves are 6) Just got my critical above 20% - I'm happy about that! I'm thinking of swapping out my Lightning Res Necklace for something else. I've got a poise necklace in inventory that I may eventually swap for, but I'd really like to get my hands on a Gold ↑ necklace to make grinding more efficient. Just one left to have all S grade accessories! I'll get my S+ armor up a few levels before I try to let echo "discover" (key word there) an Einher sword. It doesn't look like much, but its extremely rare for a reason and it utterly DESTROYS people in PVP. (no attack damage - ALL wind damage)

Beh. I decided to post the final update notes for the 18th update. (so anyone can read them here as well instead of Facebook, Discord or the game feed)
EDIT: Klaus will be removed with this update! B-U-M-M-E-R-!-!-! Enjoy your Klaus passes while you still can!

Will the Klaus GEAR stick around if you have it in inventory after he's gone? I love my Klaus helm for "Fashion Souls" reasons!

Post by Thomas Eversole on Jan 17, 2017 17:49:09 GMT -6
Oh yeah. I had the same concern!!! Klaus gear will still remain - just the boss removed from the rift.
Undoubtedly, there will be a lot of new players in chat and Discord asking, "Who's Klaus? Where did you get that Klaus armor?". Hopefully the next seasonal boss will be as (or more) fun!!!
My favorite question I repeatedly see in chat is "Is my weapon any good?" and it's always a 6 slot S MAX weapon. Haha!
"Yeah buddy, you knew the answer. You just wanted someone to check out your gear. Haha!"

I think "hone" for me will be more of an afterthought. I never tried to get to lvl70 - it just happened while I was grinding gear. Same thing with this... while I'm trying for a bounty of shards, I'll one day be like "Oh, I can hone now". Honing is pretty expensive - for my S+ night, its 137 "elements" of wind, physical and night. Considering the hone "roll" can possibly be an increase of +1 (attack and element), there's no way I'm using my gems for that either!
The arena invites is a cool concept! They need to disappear from chat though once they get occupied though. Also, it appears they removed lvl requirements - which I have mixed feelings about. I joined a fight with someone that was lvl3. (HAHA!!! I'm 67 levels above him) I literally killed him in 1 hit. I tried to throw the second round and he STILL died when the timer ran out and the "arena drain" started happening.
Also, there seems to be some hackers showing up in PVP. One of the Discord mods posted screenshots of this lvl12 dude that took ZERO damage, no matter what.
So glad there's much more to this game than dueling!

Yeah I though hone seemed expensive too. Meh. I probably need to get a different weapon as a backup.

Hone will be an afterthought, definitely.
Got me an S level Exploit Ring yesterday 😃

Nice Exo! I need to raise my incapacitate - mines currently at 20%. The timed boss today is Munin. Time for me to shine! Shard party for me! (and I WILL raise incapacitate) I'm going to start working on upgrading this Tarnished Sword I got. I asked my wife between choosing between it and my King's Sword. King's Sword has SWEET stagger, but Tarnished is DARK and POISON. She thought the King's Sword looked like a giant carrot - so Tarnished it is! (black and purple is our colors anyway HAHA!!)

Zoolander.... *shudders* LOL
Got my snek sword to S. (snek sword = Tarnished Sword) Apart from looking really badass, its basically a beefed up night sword. (with more stagger and the ability to poison)
Not looking forward to getting that beast to S+. I'm assuming the S+ recipe will be 15 Lyrius sword fragments, 30 A ambers and of course, another S MAX weapon to sacrifice. I'll definitely be dedicating some of my stocked gems to help with that amber load...

Sent an email to 10birds. I definitely want to do a black metal cover of the title theme and map theme... That was quick! They sent me the files I requested, said they'd love to hear it and also said thank you for "spreading the word" because the devs accidentally found my Ire forum posts. So awesome! I'll get started on this after I finish the Stormsinger drums for The Blackest Light compilation!

Nice sword DF! S+lvl4 Night Sword? Damn! I bet Munin does extra flips when you run towards her carrying that thing. Also, awesome fashion souls. Way to piece together armors without looking like some of these clowns I've seen! LOL
I think Night is probably the best out of all the elements, especially since so many fanbois are donning Morgan's and King's for their (mostly) superior stats. As strong as they may be, both of those sets are weak against the night element.
Fought someone in PVP and they had an Einher Sword and full Morgans. My wind resistance to his weapon might be average, but his night resistance to my weapon was poor. I quickly won 2 rounds and the match...

Haha thank you sir yes I do enjoy my Night Sword DPS. The armor was thrown together solely based on an attempt to balance resistances and availability. Any fashionable inclinations are purely coincidental lol.
I'm about to do some world bosses right now actually. Hopefully I'll have that sword lvl 5 very soon.

Korea's Lunar New year has some good surprise rewards coming our way! I took the liberty of converting UTC+9 to CST. (if you're EST, just add an hour) Login anywhere in the "to" to get them.
EDIT: Hey DeepFriar, did you see all the lore for this game they posted on the official Ire reddit page?

Heck yeah man. My S weapon attendance gift was cursed gauntlets. That will come in handy if I ever find a Pale Sword to grow. I am like THE luckiest reroller ever. Most the guys on discord say they've spent 10k in gems (180 a pop for S+ rolls) just trying to get the skills they want. Me, I was gunning for a stamina skill. 3rd pull - TWO Stamina skills. YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad the expansion drops ambers now so I could get this weapon to the top tier. One 9 minute expansion run is seriously more ambers than every 12 hours from the smelter. Totally worth it. EDIT: This S+lvl1 plague sword feels like it has as much muscle as my S+MAX Night. I need more gold and weapon shards! Set my phone to a 4 hour echo while my wife and I go out to eat. LOL
