Wow. Complimentary GAVE you Vidal weapons? What the hell?!?! LOL!!! There was a dude in chat saying a while ago, he got a Bane Sword from complimentary. I feel like I just topped that! Of course, my luck is always not to what I really want.... but that's ok. Tarnished Sword for life. I DESTROY with that blade. If only we could upgrade something otherworldly to heroic. [evillaugh]

Oh yeah. HAHA!!! Eruption was MADE to smoke that giant spaghetti dog. XD I got some boons that still struggle with Dust. They'll ask me in chat, to equip my +50 Eruption Sword so my boon can be of optimum help. I am more than happy to accommodate.

My 2nd Vidar kill. Less than HALF the time of the first.... but this run, I have a maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax lightning sword, and raised my night res from 23k to 25k from condensing some spalls. I was not super happy with math in school, but I math the hell out of this game.... when it comes to calculating skills and where I can condense spalls and free up a slot. So far, I've freed up 3 slots in my gear just taking spalls past S.

One reason I still love this game. I can help a buddy out. I had a boon send me these screens on Discord. He fed his wind weapon into his mace so it would be strong.... but using a non-wind weapon on the wind Bridge of Despair stages is like wearing C gear to a Faint fight. He summoned me on stage 25 and I saved the day with my Einher!

I've been working on a Pale Sword. This isn't a very strong weapon, but the curse on it is unreal.... A Vidar Mace honed to max, with 45% stun skill is 7.1k stun. Pale maxed can have almost 2k more curse than that mace has stun. I won't be able to max the curse and strength skills without redoing what I DON'T want redone.... but 40.8% Curse and 42.6% Physical should still be quite effective. As is with +43, I'm CURSELOCKING even NG4 bosses that aren't even weak to curse. (I'm defining curselock as cursing them again before the prior curse runs out) Since Curse makes the opponent take 75% more damage, but also deal 75% less damage - this is an excellent "defense" sword. It made even NG4 Kerr a joke. The only complaint I have with this blade is raids. It handles the corrupts just fine (like a white orb lightshow when curse procs every single hit of a greengreengreen.... ....but the shields go back up on the pillar before I can break it. (obviously, that pillar can't be cursed. LOL)

Ah man. I grind a lot. As far as I know, this season, that's higher than anyone else in the game. 2nd highest I've seen is 8k lower.

Man I'm at about 10% of that ;( too many other life distractions. I hear you. You always meet the requirement though so, you're good! There's a few bros in the guild that are too busy to grind much.... a few got some serious life stuff going on right now so they can't play hardly at all. I had bros asking me how I can have that much tribute without playing all day. World Boss lvl140 (them) get 47 tribute every 1.5 minutes. 1.5 minutes fits into an hour 40 times. 40 x 47 =1880 tribute in that hour. World Boss lvl110 (me) get 37 tribute every 30s. 30 seconds fits into an hour 120 times. 37 x 120 = 4440 tribute in that hour. Not to mention, I get more loot. They get 3 drops in 1.5 minutes, yet at the going rate, I get 9 drops in 1.5 minutes. That's more chances to get rifts, spalls, S+ and S shards, etc. On Discord, I've been encouraging the bros to grind what they can clear in seconds and get applicable drops. Some of the younger guys were hitting lvl110 or above - I told them, you're shooting yourself in the foot with drops if you can't play the GateKeeper keys that drop.

When I get the chance to actually grind, I'm riding bosses in the mid 80's, so I can balance time, tribute, and XP, since I'm still hovering in the mid 70's level wise. Gotta get those XP bonuses for the Carve and 2x Lethal Attack....

Gotta get those XP bonuses for the Carve and 2x Lethal Attack.... Sounds like a plan! I maxed my Pale sword yesterday. Max hone, physical, curse, stagger and critical skills so literally.... that's as high as it goes. Pretty happy that a 30 Refined grind only took me 9 days this time. My next project is Codex lvl5 / MAX. Where are you at on the Codex bro? I'm 210 / 250 right now. (lvl4) I didn't want to work on this before because I was working on gear/skills.... but, that's literally "done". Really, my incentive for getting the max codex is the 10% effect boost for Pale. That makes 9k curse essentially 9.9k curse. Currently, lvl80 players with 75% curse res, curse procs on them with Pale every 3rd hit. I'd hope that it would proc every other hit Codex5 but.... no biggie if its still every 3rd hit. Pale makes Hunt a cakewalk. Curse makes them hit me for 75% less damage, so its a great way for echo to stay safe. That definitely makes for easy gems - especially when a 2 hour echo to Hunt the first day of this hunt season looks like this....

Nah, it will be fun. Starting my collection of S grade sets now... just finished Bloodwed armor. Working on Custodian next. Codex goes a lot faster if I sacrifice some of the gems I would get for the set, into the composite screen to make the set. Looks like lvl106 is my "sweet spot" for Prowler at the moment. lvl106 3 times, lvl110 twice, gem down. That's where I grind Prowler - every world boss actually. 4 rifts in that spot there. ....and for some God knows why reason, Pale works much better against Prowler than an Eruption Sword. ....which is weird because he's weak to flame and stun, not curse and attack. And I JUST realized that one of the last couple of updates now lets me "S+" accessories. I SWEAR that wasn't possible 6/8 months ago......time to grind for acc. and bump that exploit ring and lethal bracelet up.... The November 28th update we can S+ and OW accessories, spalls and capes. I got pictures of my 5 OW rings and cape on the prior thread page here. Careful with your lethal attack skill bro. You're already 3% from cap and making the bracelet S+/OW might be like trying to pour a gallon and a half of water into a gallon jug. Can we not buy cloaks in the shop anymore? Am I blind? The November 28th update also revamped the shop. There's a much bigger emphasis on "limited" items and a lot of things (including capes) come and go and come back and go again. We don't have a shop schedule. I talk to the devs enough, I'm 97% positive that's intentional and its random enough I can't pinpoint a pattern. What I've been telling bros on Discord - if its not there now, check back later. I notice most shop refreshes happen 9pm CST, but that's not every day. Some of those new limited items.... I've indulged in. 10k bones for $9.99 I've bought a few times. 260 B ambers for $19.99 I bought with gift cards I got for Christmas....

248 out of 250 on the Codex. My last 2 sets (Udaeus Armor, King Sword) were equipment I was going to grow. I should be Codex 5 by early next week. How'd the raid life exo? The Destroyer's Overwatch update changed the raid pool. Lots of new players are getting raided that weren't raided before, then there's players like myself that were raided constantly and now.... not raided whatsoever. I got mixed feelings about that. The pros, I don't have to spend gems on shielding resources - and that's a big pro since gems are the premium currency.... ....the con, I kind of miss people taking my stuff, and then I take it back by thrashing 3 players at the same time, single handedly, in 30 seconds, with no blessing. Animus: Stand Alone is now on Android. Oh my word I am so happy about this... I've been playing it most of the morning. XD

XD Not getting raided NEARLY as much, though I never worried about getting raided in the first place. Haven’t spent a single gem on a shield, EVER, and think nothing about breaking a shield to raid someone else. My gold rides around 7M, bones over 30k, and ambers are usually around 20/75/100/400.....done more grinding the last week or two than i’ve managed for awhile, Codex stuff will happen as it does, focusing on S/S+ing my imbued offensive spells at the moment.

Sounds like you're doing just fine in your game! One good thing about guilds is that with the Members tab, I can literally see how much people play. Yes, you being 6k-ish above the month's tribute requirement, I can tell you've had a bit of a grind this season. Nice work my friend! My gold has gotten out of control and I'm tired of wasting it on random things so.... I'll be just letting it cap at 9,999,999. My bones go from low 20k to mid 20k... its a balancing act with playing animus, raiding catacombs and luck - with bones selling for gold in the Black Market. I've been Codex 5 for a little bit. I love it. A max Pale Sword is just gross. 9060 CURSE plus the 10% effect boost from Codex lvl5.... I've tested this. Character level increases the player's HP and effect resistance. Against a lvl80 (max) player, with 75% curse res skill (also max) Pale will proc curse with a RED RED. That much cursing strikes horror in any Group PvP match. I may not have the most kills, but I ALWAYS have the most assist points with Pale. There was a debate on Discord about Codex stacking on top of skills. Some bros thought that 150% for HP was the total, codex or not, can't go past that. I put up video proof with some stats which shows otherwise. (lvl80 with 150% HP skill has 21000 HP. I stood there and let NG4 Dainn smack me, totaled the hit numbers and still had life after 21584 damage was inflicted) I had some INSANELY good luck recently. With Mot appraisals, I kept going for crowns in the hopes of a good sword. Appraisal after appraisal, week after week, I opened pair after pair of 1 open OW gloves. Junk that I disassembled for rift shards. ....but my last appraisal, I hit as close to the jackpot as I realistically could. That's the Heroic version of the blade. ...and it being 4 open, will be easy to integrate into my build for max skills and destruction in a short period of time. If you compare this sword to the Tarnished in the Codex, you will see how much better this weapon is in comparison. The bottleneck with building new gear is usually ambers, but in this case, its Mot frags. Next Mot I'll have enough crowns to get this to S. Once I get it to S+ then I can hone, reroll the bonus skills, etc. I've already got all 8 slots unlocked in it. My build on Animus. Its a bit of a bummer that Vidar kills Lyrius the Votive later in the game, so a higher grade Tarnished isn't possible to get.... but King Sword is King here as well. I love this sword!!! Since there's no slots, spalls, hone, transcend or even composite in this game, its just a matter of getting it to drop at the grade you want it to drop, and reinforcing it to MAX. That's all A MAX gear. I love having 1) fashion 2) even element resistances.

My S+MAX set on Animus. Love the fashion, and the even element resistances.... and the high HP skill. Too bad this game is considerably shorter than Ire. I've already cleared Day 4. What's left is to grind for equipment I don't yet have.... or start Day 4 over again. (for gems and memory shards) Getting closer to having the Crowns I need to finish this sword on Ire! HOPEFULLY, I'll have them all in 2-3 more Mot summons....

Yeesh. This sword tears everything apart. exo, I'm guessing you don't play Mot? You really should bro - for your OWN benefit. My wife's character has the same night res as your character (11k) and she not only TANKS Step 1 Mot, but has to not mash combos or she'll kill him too quick and miss the carve. This is her using a NIGHT weapon, and Mot is weak to PHYSICAL (your king sword) You could get 15 fragments from Step 1 Mot in probably 2 weeks. Appraising those could give you better gear than what most players in the game have. How to get something Legendary or Heroic? 100% pure blind dumb luck. If you appraise something 1 open OW, you're pretty much only out of 500k gold. I lost count of how many 1 open OW gloves I opened.... appraisal after appraisal, glove after glove after glove..... and I'm well aware of players who got something REALLY good their 1st or 2nd appraisal. ....but I didn't quit before the miracle happened. That miracle being, one of the strongest and rarest blades in the game just handed to me for spending 500k gold.

Oh I play Mot. Logging in to go raid as soon as I post this. i’ve missed two of the last 3 raids because I got too focused on other life stuff, though . No weapons yet, but boots and a cuirass. And yeah, I can’t combo Mot. She just flat out dies. I’ve missed several carves because of an accidental combo or forgetting I CAN’T use my “normal boss grind” strategy. I’ve done it enough i’m about to ditch my kings for something else when raiding Mot.

Hey guys! So I'm playing Ire (again lol). Been back for maybe a week or so, trying to get back warmed up. Level 68. If you had to pick three weapons (that are readily obtainable) to be able to swap and do most content, what would you choose? I still only have one S+ (Night Sword).
I see you guys have been playing Animus. I thought about trying it. It's kind of more zoomed in third person (almost a MMO-esque back view), right? Is it good? As good as Ire?

You need a King’s Sword, easily farmed from rift Lyrius. Hardest hitting physical damage in the game, I can one-hit Deeper Faint when I have Blessing on....you’ll drop most world bosses and any rift boss of Lyrius or lower level in ~15 seconds.
I actually haven’t played Animus yet. Not enough time.

Post by Thomas Eversole on Apr 24, 2018 20:12:44 GMT -6
While I prefer the Tarnished Sword, the King Sword is a better all purpose blade. Its the "earliest" Heroic weapon you can get in the game - which is statistically superior to anything otherworldly. (a night sword is common, unless made otherworldly) You'll eventually want weapons of each element, as beating the Bridge of Despair would be impossible otherwise. ....but there's more to thriving in Ire besides just a good weapon. Maybe the FAQ would help you out? I keep the thing update so - it will most certainly catch you up what's new. eversoul.net/IreFAQI see you guys have been playing Animus. I thought about trying it. It's kind of more zoomed in third person (almost a MMO-esque back view), right? Is it good? As good as Ire? Animus is quite amazing, and as a companion piece, there are definitely similarities, but also differences. As far as enemies, weapons, gameplay, skills - Ire and Animus are virtually identical to each other. There are some differences, but they're minor. Ire has an overhead view with a stagnant camera - swipe your character toe to head, you zoom the camera, head to toe, you zoom out. That's it. Animus is.... well, have you played Dark Souls? Exactly like that view - to a T. Take Ire, but while you're running with the left joy, you can move the camera wherever touching the screen above the red/green/dodge/etc. buttons. Ire is online - there's a chat, pvp and group PvP. Animus is COMPLETELY offline. Play in airplane mode, it don't care. LOL Ire has different modes - hunt, bridge of despair, the rift, campaign, etc. and a lot of different currencies. (gold, boneshards, gems, mileage, strife, faith, rift shards, arena coins) Animus is what I would call "ultimate quest grinding". Its all the same, but nothing costs anything to play. Play Rifthound or Bloodwed as much as you want after you unlock where to fight them. There are gems, memory shards and gold as the only currencies. In Ire, there are lots of different types of forging. Reinforce, composite, transcend, hone, otherworldly for common gear..... Animus has reinforce. That's it. If you pick up a D grade night sword, D MAX is all it can ever be. You'll need to pick up a C grade one to have a stronger one. ...and D grade shards can only be used on D grade gear. Ire, you can grind to the point where you can mash to win the game. Not much playing skill is required, until later bosses. Animus, its harder than Ire. Tanking is ill advised, even with the best gear. Graphically, Animus blows Ire out of the water with Ire at the highest settings, and Animus at the lowest. Ire is a much larger game. Replayability is insane. Animus, the game is smaller. You pretty much beat all there is to beat in a few weeks. Ire revolves around IAP, not to "pay to win" but.... pay to "go faster". Animus, I bought the game. That's the only purchase any player really needs to make, ever. I could go on and on. I'd recommend stopping by Ire Discord again bro Deepfriar. We've got animus channels - screenshots, videos, discussion, etc. exo, I can't remember if I told you. Some of the boons and corrupts in Animus are named after guilds in Ire. Our guild made an appearance in Animus. He can be summoned as one of the boons for faint, and he's a corrupt with a lance before Chaplain later in the game.

Thanks for the replies, guys. :-D I'll look into getting a King's Sword. It's actually perfect timing because I just beat NG+3 Kerr and unlocked Deeper Lyrius last night. Was up until 1 AM playing xD and paying the price today, very tired! 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? 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). I need to see about trying to get around the firewall. Is there a VPN browser or something like that? Anyway, have fun guys! Back to work.
