After entering the 21st century, the development of technology has been so rapid that it is beyond imagination, and the benefits brought by this development are reflected in all aspects, not only making your life more convenient but also making your entertainment more diverse. Take playing video games as an example, in fact, it might be hard for people 20 years ago to imagine that there are now six or seven choices of gaming devices alone!
Among all gaming devices, PCs and various controllers that need to be connected to the display are more troublesome and cannot be carried around for experience, while mobile phones, iPads and handheld game consoles are more convenient because of their smaller size - if you are a game fan, you must know that Nintendo Switch is the most popular handheld game console.
At present, some games on the market are designed specifically for Switch, while some games are first supplied to other devices and then logged in to Switch. This means that if you are a fan of both the latter game and Switch, you may always be looking forward to their early cooperation, and one representative of this type of game is Genshin Impact.
When Genshin Impact was first released in 2020, it could be experienced on mobile (Android & iOS) PC and PlayStation 4, and it was announced that it would land on Nintendo Switch in the future. However, it is now 2025, and although Genshin Impact has been launched on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles before, the Switch plan of Genshin Impact has not yet been realized. However, the recent release of Switch 2 information seems to allow you to see the dawn of this plan.
Like its predecessor, Switch 2 is a hybrid game console that can be used as a handheld game console or connected to a TV or monitor. It is similar in appearance to Switch 1, but the screen size is expected to increase by about 33%, and other hardware details will be fully upgraded.
There have been many rumors about the specific launch date of Switch 2, and it has not been determined, but at least you can be sure that it will be better than the first generation in all aspects. In addition, although Nintendo has not yet announced which RPGs will be first launched on Switch 2, and HoYoverse has not announced the next plan for Genshin Impact and Switch 2, if the two are still planning to cooperate, then Switch 2 is definitely better than 1.
The first generation Switch was released in 2017. Although it was evaluated as one of the most innovative game consoles ever at the time, it was eight years ago, after all. Nowadays, Switch 1 cannot compare with PlayStation 4&5 or Xbox series game consoles in many aspects, so the birth of Switch 2 is inevitable.
In addition, devices are improving, and games are expanding. Compared with five years ago, Genshin Impact now has higher requirements for devices in terms of memory and performance. Perhaps this is why Genshin Impact was not finally released on Nintendo Switch - the rapid expansion speed of releasing patches every six weeks makes it increasingly unlikely that Genshin Impact will be ported to Switch 1.
You might be thinking that even without a Switch, playing Genshin Impact on PC is also great, after all, the bigger screen will make the experience better, but you only need to check the number of characters in your Genshin Impact Account to dispel this idea - the high storage requirements brought by the growing number of characters means that the PC may also experience lags. However, as the latest game console to be born, the Switch 2 is expected to introduce modern hardware, allowing popular Gacha games such as Genshin Impact to run smoothly.
If the Switch 2 can really achieve hardware advancements, it will not only run the current Genshin Impact smoothly but also adapt to the frequency of future updates of the game. In fact, there are rumors that the Switch 2 will even be able to run large games such as Metal Gear Solid Delta and Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Since its launch, Genshin Impact has been compared by players with Zelda: Breath of the Wild developed by Nintendo, because the two games have many similarities in open world design and exploration. Even though Genshin Impact focuses more on Gacha elements and becomes more and more different from Zelda as it develops, some people still suspect that Genshin Impact is a copycat.
Regardless of the credibility of this suspicion, the combat, character development and narrative structure of the two games are now very different, which has completely opened up the own fan base of Genshin Impact. Therefore, Nintendo can completely regard Genshin Impact as a strong competitor to its own Zelda series - Genshin Impact is even completely free outside of Gacha elements, while Zelda is not.
In this way, whether Genshin Impact can be logged in to the Switch series is actually not related to the performance of devices, but involves intellectual property disputes. If so, then you may not have the opportunity to play this RPG developed by HoYoverse on any Switch.
But you don’t have to worry about it. After all, there are many game choices now. In fact, you can play Zelda on Switch and Genshin Impact on other devices to fully experience their different charms, give your own game review, and make your gaming experience more meaningful.
In the upcoming version 0.2.0 patch update in late March, the developers will add a series of new content to the game. These include new support gems, new unique items, and even there will be a high probability of releasing a new class.
However, among the adjustments announced by the developers for POE 2, there is one point that is controversial among players, that is, the adjustment to Lost Towers. They added the mechanism of Lost Towers to make it have richer content for players to explore. But not all players are satisfied with this.
In the preview of the 0.2.0 patch, the official said that they will change the mechanism of Lost Towers in the next update, so that players can encounter random rare enemies or even BOSSes in the process of exploring the tower. At the same time, the next version of Lost Towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets, changing the distribution of monsters. That is to say, Lost Towers will give birth to more monsters for players to sweep.
It is not possible to judge whether this change is good or bad. Let’s take a look at how Lost Towers perform in the endgame of the 0.1.0 patch.
In the endgame, players explore Lost Towers basically to open up new maps, and then insert Precursor Tablets on Lost Towers to affect the appearance of modifiers.
If players have Waystones with very bad attributes, or Waystones that become worse under the influence of Vaal Orb, then players usually choose to use these Waystones on Lost Towers.
Because Lost Towers have very low returns, and basically no rare items will be dropped. And there are no activities. Therefore, there is no loss in dropping Waystones in Lost Towers.
If players have Precursor Tablets with very good attributes, then players can insert these Precursor Tablets into nearby towers. The influence areas of these towers will overlap, and the overlapping areas are the areas with the best farming currency. When several excellent attributes overlap, the probability of rare enemies appearing in this overlapping area will be much higher, so you can get good benefits in these locations, such as many POE 2 Divine Orbs or even unique items.
This method is also effective in 0.2.0. This is a very timesaving method. But players still hate Lost Towers very much and even think that Lost Towers ruined the entire POE 2 endgame experience.
Mainly because the rewards players can get in Lost Towers are very rare, and the interior of Lost Towers is very complicated, like a maze. And the interior of Lost Towers is very narrow. When players fight inside Lost Towers, the skills they release are often blocked by walls, so the experience inside Lost Towers is very poor.
However, the developers also made some changes to Lost Towers in 0.1.1. In version 0.1.1, the developers added 5 new types of towers to the game:
Each of these towers has a different terrain and monster distribution. The best tower for players is basically Bluff, because the exploration route in this tower is basically a straight line, allowing them to complete the tower the fastest.
Since Lost Towers introduced more points of interest in 0.2.0, players have to spend more time than usual to fully explore the entire tower. This is unbearable for some players, mainly because the complex and narrow terrain of Lost Towers makes every minute of fighting in it full of torture. Even worse, players sometimes cannot defeat the boss in the tower, which may cause players to have to challenge these bosses repeatedly or waste one of their Waystones to reset the tower.
In addition, since the 0.2.0 patch, towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets. When players use Breach tablets and encounter a Breach encounter in a tower, the battle will become very difficult.
After the update, players can no longer throw Precursor Tablets or Waystones with disadvantageous entries into Lost Towers at will, because towers will now also have various monsters and rewards.
But such changes are not all bad. At least after the update, Lost Towers will become the same as ordinary maps and can also bring rich rewards to players. Compared with previous versions, players now have more opportunities to encounter Ritual events, Breach events and Delirium mirrors on the map. Therefore, towers will become another place to choose to farm currency.
Lost Towers will also be affected by Precursor Tablets on other Lost Towers, so you can also control the drops or enemies in the tower to a certain extent.

Most players may be dissatisfied with the changes to Lost Towers in the 0.2.0 patch. This is because Lost Towers is not what they are interested in. The process of exploring the tower is depressing and disappointing. Even after the changes, most players are probably still not willing to fight in such a complex terrain as Lost Towers. Players are more looking forward to developers bringing some real new content. For example, new bosses, new activities, new unique items or classes, etc.
The much-anticipated Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is officially released on June 21st. Are you ready for the new challenges that await us?
With a ton of new content coming, it can be overwhelming, especially for players who haven’t played in years. What’s more, players who have managed to play DLC say it’s a challenging experience.
So, I’m going to share my 16 most important preparation tips or things you should do so that you can save time, avoid a lot of trouble, and be ready for the most anticipated DLC. The primary goal of this guide is to point you in the right direction or give you a general idea of what you should focus on. Let’s get straight into it.
Now let’s start with the first tip on the list, which is to prepare some Lost Ashes of War. This is important because we will be getting new Ashes of War in DLC area, and it would be great if you are prepared with a lot of Lost Ashes of War because you never know which new Ashes of War you need to copy, especially if your build revolves around dual wielding.
When you need to copy Ashes of War, you will already be prepared, so you will save a lot of time and keep your DLC experience intact.
Most of the time, Whetblades help define the build and make it stronger. Speaking of character build diversity, Whetblades often define our build by granting us Weapon Affinity and even providing diversity. It unlocks the maximum potential of a weapon or greatly changes its use in combat by adding different types of scaling.
Must-have Whetblades, such as Iron Whetblade or Glintstone Whetblade. Of course, other Whetblades are great too, so make sure to get them all.
Next up is the next tip, which is to get the best Spirit Ashes and upgrade them to the maximum. Now, we don’t necessarily need to use Spirit Ashes because it will mess up bosses and mess up their target system, but beginners, especially newbies entering a similar soul space for the first time, may need the help of Spirit Ashes.
Since we are talking about upgrading Spirit Ashes, it is wise to pile up its upgrade materials, such as Ghost and Grave Glovewort, especially Great Glovewort. We will never know if DLC will provide new Spirit Ashes, so you better prepare in advance.
The next tip is very basic. Make sure you have a Lamp or a Torch in your gear. I know what you are thinking, this tip is boring, but in hindsight, it can provide you with a lot of help when exploring dark areas, and even save your life.
Shadow of the Erdtree will provide new intricate Legacy Dungeons and more caves or underground areas. Therefore, make sure you have a light source.
In addition to Lamp, my personal favorite is Ghostflame Torch, because it provides white light. Of course, any type of Torch will do.
The easiest way to get Torch in Elden Ring is to get it from Merchant Kale who resides in Church of Elleh. Torch sells for 200 Elden Ring Runes. From there, you can equip and use Torch as often as you want.
Straight on to the next tip, which is to get as many Crystal Tears as possible. Crystal Tears, after popping Flask of Wondrous Physick, will give your build a limited but insane buff that can almost turn the tide of a battle.
My build revolves around Katanas, especially Moonveil. So in my case, utilizing Magic-Shrouding Cracked Tear to further increase my magic damage, paired with Stonebarb Cracked Tear for more Stance Damage, would be beneficial.
There are a lot of good Crystal Tears in the game, such as Greenburst Crystal Tear that increases Stamina Recovery, and many more.
The next tip on the list is, of course, to maximize your Talisman Slots. You can get Talisman Pouch by defeating key bosses in the game, or by getting one when you first encounter Enia in Roundtable Hold.
Without four Talisman Slots, your combat performance will be severely compromised, so make sure you unlock all of them before DLC.
Straight on to the next tip, which is to optimize your Item Farming Setup. DLC will offer 100 weapons, and we don’t know how much time it will take to farm these secret weapons from enemies, but there are many ways to optimize your farming setup.
The first is to equip Mimic Crystal Tear Headgear, which increases your Arcane Stat by 8. The higher your Arcane Stat, the higher your Item Discovery. The higher your Item Discovery, the more likely you are to get a drop when trying to farm a weapon.
In my farming setup, I also equipped Silver Scarab to further improve my Item Discovery, and paired it with a bunch of Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot.
The next tip on the list is to fully upgrade both of your Flasks using Golden Seeds and Sacred Tears. By using both, you will increase their charges and potency. The stronger their effects, the more charges you have, meaning more room for mistakes in combat. The fewer times you stumble, the faster you progress in general.
Tip nine is to prepare runes for general use. Of course, in a DLC, we don’t know how many new weapons and items will be available for sale, or even how many weapons will be upgraded, not to mention that weapon upgrades require a lot of runes, so stockpiling Elden Ring Runes isn’t a bad idea.
The next tip ties into the rune farming tip I just mentioned, and you’ll need to upgrade your character to around Rune Level 150.
While there are no set requirements when playing DLC, like in the base game, players can make their experience harder or easier by keeping an eye on their Rune Level.
But in the recent Elden Ring event, players managed to experience DLC, and they got a level 150 character at the start. This gives us a rough idea of the recommended starting level, so it would be wise to stack the runes and use it later when upgrading your character.
The next tip I’m going to give you is to get all Somber Smithing and Ghost-Glovewort Bell Bearings in the game. I highly recommend tracking down the aforementioned Bell Bearings because they give you an unlimited amount of upgrade materials as long as you have the runes. So you can always access them in case you need them while traversing DLC areas.
While Somber and Regular Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones cannot be directly obtained from any shop, it’s a good idea to have some ready in case we need to maximize our DLC weapons.
Remember that we will have 100 new weapons, so we’ll need a lot of these weapon upgrade materials. Although the materials mentioned are quite rare, you can still get a lot of them every time you play.
Now for the next tip, if you are one of the many players who left after playing through the game once or twice two years ago, then you have most likely missed a lot of content.
Since DLC is coming out and you will be playing it anyway, now is the time to play what you missed, such as hidden bosses, NPC quests, or playing with different weapon types or character builds. This way you can get your bearings while waiting for DLC, and when it comes out, you will be firing on all cylinders and in good shape.
Now for the next tip, which is to optimize your build. It is worth mentioning that any good build will play in DLC, which has been proven recently.
That being said, I still strongly recommend picking one or two builds that you like the most or that you find yourself liking, and have at least one or two maxed out weapons for each build, so that you are flexible for the challenges that DLC will bring.
Coming up next is the next tip, which is to save your Walking Mausoleum chance and not copy any Remembrances before DLC comes out.
We have confirmation that we will have new Sets of Remembrances in DLC, so it is wise to save your chances. However, if you have already used your chances, it is not the end of the world. The more chances we have, the faster we will get the new items that DLC Remembrances offer.
For this next tip, it is highly recommended to stock up on Larval Tears in case you need respect while playing DLC.
The new weapon may interest you, so respecting your character and building around it can be fun. However, if you don’t have Larval Tears, you will need to get Larval Tears elsewhere in order to respect, which can be very frustrating.
The last tip is also one of the most important, which is to prepare your access to DLC area. In order to access DLC area, you need to defeat Radahn first, for reasons that are currently unknown and will be determined in DLC.
After defeating Radahn, you need to defeat Mohg in Mohgwyn Palace. You can enter Mohgwyn Dynasty or Palace by completing Varre Questline or visiting the teleporter in Consecrated Snowfield. After defeating Mogh in Palace, interact with Miquella’s Arm and you will be teleported to Land of Shadow.
All in all, in my opinion, these are important tips to help you prepare for Shadow of the Erdtree. If I missed an important tip, please share it. How is your preparation for DLC going? See you in the game!
Elden Ring is considered by players to be one of the greatest games of all time, so players are very much looking forward to the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which is released on June 21st. I believe that many new and old players are very eager to figure out how to level up quickly in the new version and want to be fully prepared for the challenges in the expansion.
If you know a few simple tricks, you can help your character earn more Elden Ring Runes early or late in the game. These builds will become very lively and interesting, which will also make players who have multiple builds very excited.
There are many ways to farm Elden Ring Runes in Elden Ring, and with Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, players may need some very strong strategies to get as much experience points as possible while ensuring that is a fun thing rather than a chore. This guide will introduce 8 strategies that can let you get a head start before the release of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Come and check it out!
The first major legacy dungeon most players encounter is Stormveil Castle in Limgrave area, which is occupied by archers, ballistae operators, and lumbering giants. For early game farming, just head to Liftside Chamber Site of Grace, where you’ll encounter Stormveil fighters in Courtyard. Since they’re facing away from you, you can easily sneak up on them.
Another good place to farm Elden Ring Runes in Limgrave area is the Stormfront Site of Grace. There’s a group of soldiers stationed to the east, but be aware that there are some horsemen near this site, so be aware of your position as you lure them out with the encampment. Further east, there are several giants tied to wagons that provide very generous runes.
It’s recommended that at the earliest levels, you take out the enemies in Stormfront area first, then consider fighting the giants. This way, you’ll have an easier time taking out the archers and ballistae operators in Stormveil Courtyard.
For those players who forgo Sentinel Dragon lore in Lands Between and just want to improve these build stats, they will get a huge EXP boost. First, find Fort Faroth Site of Grace in Dragonbarrow area in Caelid.
Approach Caelid from the left near Site of Grace and beat him up, making sure to get his health down to a low point. Jump on Torrent and land a few final blows with your weapon before his health runs out.
Once he goes from stationary to moving, quickly ride Torrent back to Site of Grace to rest, which will put the dragon into a reset state, meaning you’ll need to start over. Each time, it is possible to obtain over 50,000 Elden Ring Runes.
You’ll have a number of ways to get into Mohgwyn Palace, so I won’t go into detail. It offers one of the most popular rune farms for players as Albinauric population. Why is it so popular?
There are two reasons for this: these frog-like humanoids are relatively docile in Elden Ring; and the amount of runes they provide. With just a few weapon attacks or magic blasts, you can get about 40,000 runes in a few seconds.
This is also a good way to prepare for the supreme boss of this area, Lord of Blood Mohg. Mind you, defeating Mohg is also one requirement for obtaining Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Overall, this area provides players with some great ways to strengthen themselves and obtain outstanding equipment, such as Mohgwyn’s Sacred Spear.
After Mohg is defeated, remember to touch the withered arm in Mohgwyn’s Palace, and make sure to defeat Starscourge Radahn in Caelid. Together with defeating Mohg, these are the three indispensable requirements for gaining access to Shadow of the Erdtree.
After obtaining Golden Scarab Talisman, it is also very important to learn how to find the gold-pickled fowl foot, which can help you get more runes.
Once you have Golden Scarab equipped and consume a gold fowl foot, you can triple Elden Ring Runes you get from killing enemies in Albinaurics camping outside of Mohgwyn’s Palace, which is about 120,000 runes.
When clearing the dungeons in Lands Between or implementing other farming strategies, remember to use this multiplier strategy to earn you more runes.
Caelid is home to some of the deadliest enemies and environments in the game, but it is also home to some of the best farming spots. After discovering Lenne’s Rise in Caelid, simply ride Torrent downhill along the right side of the map, on the east side, until you are close to the giant archway.
During this time, you need to be very careful, because once you pass a certain point, a huge death-ball will appear and try to crush you. But don’t worry too much, just use your mount to rotate around the ball to avoid being crushed until it rolls down the hill. You can get about 2,000 Elden Ring Runes each time you do this, and it becomes very easy and quick to respawn and repeat.
Every time you respawn at Impassable Greatbridge Site of Grace, you’ll see a scene of chaos - knights and dogs twisted by the land of Caelid duke it out. Every time you respawn here, watching this chaos will earn you about 7,000 Elden Ring Runes. You can use this strategy to gain runes repeatedly.
Of course, items that can increase EXP like the golden scarab mentioned above will slightly increase these gains, but it should be noted that the golden scarab is more useful for killing enemies on the battlefield.
In fact, there are certain visual clues in Elden Ring that will let you know if you have a chance to gain additional Elden Ring Runes. For example, if you see a glowing white skull on the ground, this is a reminder that there may be a few runes hidden inside which can be crushed.
Similarly, enemies with glowing red eyes are not necessarily the most difficult to defeat, but they will definitely drop more EXP than similar enemies. Some players may have seen golden leaves floating around in certain areas of the recent Lands Between. These are Erdtree leaves.
They indicate that enemies will drop more runes than usual. Since these are randomly generated, many players will wait in the game until golden leaves fall in the sky.
Eventually, though, you need to find the runes used, such as Lord’s Runes and Hero’s Runes. These will give players 50,000 and 15-35,000 runes, respectively. These can be found in most areas of the game or can be obtained by defeating enemies.
Besides some common spawn locations and defeating bosses to get a lot of runes, the above 8 methods are also ways to get a lot of runes in a few hours to help you level up. Combined with these tips, you can train your character to a level that can enter Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. Hope you are one step ahead of others when the new version is released on June 21st!
With the recent update, the football festival has made its way to Ultimate Team in EA Sports FC 24, and the developers have released special Path to Glory cards related to European Championship and Copa America. These cards will receive a special boost if the country of the player on these cards meets certain criteria and performs well in the corresponding tournament.
Several players have ended up receiving Path to Glory cards, including, but not limited to, Rúben Dias, Pedri, Rodrigo De Paul, and many more. If you’re interested in acquiring them with FC 24 Coins, the first thing you should consider is whether they will progress in European Championship or Copa America. This guide will list the 10 best Path To Glory Players for you to choose from!
Rodrigo Bentancur is arguably one of the most solid Path to Glory cards released by EA in FC 24. Uruguayan midfielder is the perfect all-around player to have at your disposal.
His excellent stats include 96 dribbling, 94 physical, and 93 passing, which show his versatility. In addition, this player has a five-star weak foot, which means he can score goals with both feet, which will greatly increase your team’s goal rate. Since he is currently performing very well in America’s Cup, there is a high possibility that he will eventually be promoted.
Federico Chiesa is another excellent Path to Glory card in FC 24. Besides being a regular in Italian national team, Italian winger is also a key asset for Juventus, and he has helped the club to a resurgence with his stable performances.
Because his speed attribute is as high as 99, which can help you break through the opponent’s defense, you will definitely like it. In addition, the 98 dribbling is also very valuable, which can be combined with his five-star skill moves to further help you win.
Kyle Walker is an indispensable player for England national team, and he can lead the defense to great success on the pitch. Not only can he be a wonderful addition to the defense in Ultimate team, but he will also be a fast full-back, making your pitch impeccable.
In addition to his strong defensive ability, Kyle Walker can also help your team attack. His crossing ability can provide goalscoring opportunities for the striker. In addition, this player is very suitable for the right wing-back position, and you can use him in this special position if you want to use a five-at-the-back formation.
Since Brazil is the favorite to win Copa America, you may want to consider Brazilian national team’s Éder Militão. Not only did he win Copa America with the team, but he also achieved some success with Real Madrid.
With him in your team, your defense will be strengthened and very suitable to fight against fast attackers. But if you want to get this card directly from the store, you need to think twice, because it is expensive.
Bukayo Saka is the star player of England team. Although he lost to Italy in the penalty shootout in the last European Cup, his performance was still very good. The team does not want to repeat the same mistake in this European Cup, so let’s look forward to their performance together.
Back to EA FC 24, his Path to Glory card shines in your Ultimate Team. He mainly enhances your offensive ability with 97 pace and 98 dribbling. You can safely leave the right side of the court to him. The five-star weak foot also performs well in shooting.
Pedri is a very skilled midfielder who has come from nowhere to become something miraculous. Although the youngster has been plagued by injuries over the past few seasons, when he is healthy, he performs very well. His appearance in 2024 European Championship also gave Spanish team a powerful push and wanted to return to its former glory.
In EA Sports FC 24, Pedri will create a lot of scoring opportunities for you and can use his 94 passing accuracy to make precise passes. Given that he can further play as an attacking midfielder, you can use him in this position.
In addition to the just mentioned Éder Militão, William Saliba is also one of the best defenders introduced in Path to Glory promo in FC 24. At Arsenal, his key outstanding performances won the club a second place in the league.
William Saliba is also an important part of French national team’s defense, stopping the opponent’s attack and providing a lot of solutions. The stats on his Path to Glory card are also very good - a defending stat of 95 and a physical state of 92, which shows that he is very reliable.
In Ultimate Team of EA Sports FC 24, it is very important to have a reliable goalkeeper. Jan Oblak’s Path to Glory card will be your choice. With 98 handling, 93 diving, and 95 reflexes, you don’t have to worry about the opponent’s ball entering your own goal post.
It is not without its shortcomings. The only disadvantage is that Slovenia is not expected to go far in European Cup. But even if it is not upgraded, the basic card provided for him can bring excellent results to your Ultimate Team.
Rodrigo De Paul’s impact on Argentina’s midfield cannot be underestimated. Argentine soccer team has had quite a bit of success over the past few years and it is expected that they will finally defend their Copa America title.
Speaking of Rodrigo De Paul’s Path to Glory card, its statistics in the game are quite impressive. Key states include but are not limited to 97 passing, 96 dribbling, and 95 physical. These together will help you control the game and especially the opponent’s midfield.
Rúben Dias is probably the best Path to Glory card in Ultimate Team in EA Sports FC 24, as his excellent defensive ability can be decisive for your team and ensure that not many goals are conceded.
His outstanding stats are: 96 defending, 96 physical, and 92 pace. With these stats, he is a very fast central defender who is always ready to fight against all kinds of attackers.
After learning about these 10 excellent players, do you have a favorite player? No matter who you choose, your Ultimate Team will be icing on the cake! I wish you a happy football festival and hope that the team you support will win excellent results in European Cup!
I believe that many readers were attracted by the title. It seems that everyone wants to upgrade to level 85 as soon as possible. Not only will there be more benefits, but they can also challenge higher-level bosses.In this guide, we’ll share some of the best tips and tricks to speed up your leveling process and get you into endgame content as quickly as possible.
While we’re focusing primarily on the level 80-85 grind in this guide, many of these tips can also be applied to any stage of your leveling journey. Let’s take a look!
If you haven’t joined a guild yet, now is the perfect time to do so. Joining a guild at this stage in WoW Cataclysm Classic has a lot of great perks that can significantly increase your leveling speed. For example, the Mount Up skill increases your mount speed, while Hasty Hearth reduces the cooldown of your Hearthstone.
Both skills can help you move around areas faster, which can speed up your overall speed. Additionally, you can complete quests and run instances with your guildmates, making completing quests more enjoyable and efficient.
Obtaining your flight controller license as soon as possible is the easiest way to increase your XP accumulation. Using flying mounts can greatly increase your leveling speed, especially as you level up your flying skill.
It’s recommended that you get upgrades from the faction with the highest reputation. Just make sure they have a flying trainer, and your reputation level discount will be high. For example, in Exalted, you can get up to 20% off, which can save you a lot of WoW Cataclysm Classic Gold.
To maximize your XP gains, you need to choose your zones carefully. If you start at level 80, it is best to start at Mount Hyjal. This will allow you to level up faster than the extremely difficult Vashj’ir. At level 82, you can go to Deepholm, where you can increase your Therazane reputation.
After that, go to Uldum and stay there until most of the quests are completed. Finally, you can finish your quest in Twilight Highlands and grind until level 85. This route is very effective and will help you gain more experience and explore new game content.
In WoW Cataclysm Classic, there are many spells that players can choose from and level up with the help of trainers. Although not every spell cast will allow you to return quickly to the capital, trying the powerful leveling spells between levels 80-85 is definitely worth considering.
For example, Flame Orb for Mages and Fel Flame for Warlocks both allow you to deal huge damage in combat, which can speed up your clearing and achieve the effect of leveling up faster.
Many of the quest lines in dungeons are very good to upgrade your experience and equipment. However, through the practice of players, it is known that this is only a supplemental source of XP, not the principal source, because not all players have such content.
However, if you have a group that allows you to run dungeons together, why not run more times? Why not learn some dungeon mechanics, see some bosses, and practice rotations while leveling up?
In addition, the dungeons in WoW Cataclysm Classic are improved, which is very different from the previous Wrath, which will definitely make you have a lot of fun exploring.
Some common consumables can provide you with temporary buffs that allow you to gain experience points temporarily. For example, Battle Standard of Coordination and Banner of Cooperation items can provide you and your guild members with some experience and reputation boosts.
These boosts mainly come from the enemies you and your guild members kill. The more enemies you kill, the higher the experience points. While these boosts aren’t huge, at no more than 15% and only last a few minutes, they’re still a great way to help you level up.
This tip won’t get you to level 85 like the previous ones, but it’s the easiest to accomplish. Because reputation is a very important thing in WoW Cataclysm Classic, and it can even be said to be very valuable.
First, you should strive to be at least friendly with every faction in the zone, so that you can unlock their Tabards. Earning reputation points doesn’t take a lot of extra time and is a great addition to your leveling process.
Understanding the logic of your class will always give you an advantage in PVP or in unusual situations. It allows you to improvise or use strange combinations of skills and talents, making you the ultimate BiS Meta player because you know what to do while PUGs in raids or dungeons don’t.
That’s all for this guide. I hope these tips are useful to you and can help you level up faster in WoW Cataclysm Classic. Have fun exploring Azeroth!
There are various bosses in the game that you need to find and find ways to defeat them, and this is also the case in Elden Ring. Astel, Naturalborn of the Void, has annoying teleports and almost predatory grabs, which make it one of the most difficult bosses in Elden Ring.
However, Astel, Naturalborn of the Void, is still a boss worth choosing to help you progress in Ranni’s questline.
In this guide, you will learn how to find Astel, Naturalborn of the Void in Elden Ring and find its weaknesses to defeat it. Follow this guide and you’ll be ready to shine in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree DLC when it releases on June 21st!
Astel is located in a separate area south of Lake of Rot. You will reach here when advancing Ranni’s questline. You need to first go to Grand Cloister Grace in Lake of Rot, cross the ledge to the ground, find the coffin, and then ride the coffin down the waterfall. This way you can reach this area.
Then in this area you need to go west until the end of the hallway, at the end of the hallway turn left and you will find a coffin. You need to enter the coffin, and then you will respawn in a new area. From this respawn point, go north, and then you will find the fog door leading to Astel.
If you are not well prepared before fighting Astel, his attacks will wipe out more than half of your health. However, if you prepare some weapons, incantations and spells in advance, it will make the battle easier, so it is worth spending Elden Ring Runes to get these items, which will make Astel less of a difficult boss for you.
Frostbite, Sleep, and Madness will not harm Astel because it is immune to them. However, Poison, Scarlet Rot and Bleed will easily cause damage to it. Therefore, you can integrate your equipment into these corresponding weapons, incantations, and spells.
Astel is also less vulnerable to elemental damage (magic, fire, lightning, and holy) due to his defenses, even though he is not completely immune to the damage you can throw at him, the damage won’t be as great as it normally would be. While Astel has strong defenses against elemental damage, he is weak against physical damage. Therefore, magic users can use gravity sorceries to take advantage of the range advantage.
Here are some weapons, incantations, and spells that can help you against Astel, Naturalborn of the Void:
Any weapon with Poison, Scarlet Rot, and Bleed effects. Poison, Scarlet Rot, and Bleed status effects can cause Astel to deal heavy damage. Therefore, find a weapon with any of these effects and upgrade it as much as possible.
Rotten Breath Incantation. This Incantation is obtained by obtaining a dragon heart and taking it to Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid. Rotten Breath Incantation can cause heavy damage to it through Scarlet Rot.
Rock Sling Sorcery. This Sorcery can be found in a chest north of Street of Sages Ruins in Caelid. Rock Sling Sorcery is a gravity Sorcery with great tracking and range. You can use this spell from a distance when fighting Astel to avoid most of its attacks. If you find Meteorite Staff on a corpse in Street of Sages Ruins and combine it with Rock Sling Sorcery, this will increase the damage by thirty percent, making the fight much easier.
It is worth noting that you should level up your attributes and upgrade your weapons and spirit ashes before fighting Astel. You can also use Mimic Tear Ash to distract Astel and take most of the damage.
You should not always stand right in front of Astel when fighting him, even if you know that Astel’s weak point is his head, because some of the most damaging moves he uses require the use of the pincer attached to his head. Instead, you should watch the majority of his body to determine most of his attack cues and stand a little further away, as these cues can be very hidden.
Generally, you need to know how Astel prepares to attack and try to avoid it, then attack him in the head. Here are some moves you need to master to defeat Astel.
Astel will charge a purple ball and fire a laser directly at you when you enter the boss's arena. Since there is a little time to prepare, you don’t have to dodge immediately. However, you can use dodge roll first to master the timing. You will have time to summon Mimic Tear Ash or any Spirit Ashes of your choice after Astel fires the laser.
Astel’s three left hands quickly raise three purple balls, then slam them into the ground, releasing three expanding shockwaves. You can use dodge roll to avoid this move while running away. After all, it can be very difficult to react to this attack in time.
Astel raises a purple ball in each of his six hands into the air, then slams it into the ground, releasing three expanding shockwaves. This attack is similar to the previous one, but the preparation time is much longer, and you also need to keep your distance from Astel to avoid being hit by the expanding shockwaves.
Astel will charge up, then throw you into the air before slamming you back down to the ground. You can keep your distance from Astel while he charges up, and then attack him after he finishes his attack.
Astel will create a purple ball in one hand, then wave his hand in front of him, leaving a purple shroud that explodes in a split second. There are several variations of this attack that all work similarly, and you need to watch out for the single purple ball. However, you may have enough time to get through the shroud and attack his head, depending on your distance from Astel.
The biggest threat to your defeat in the entire fight is Astel’s teleport, which can cause you to be grabbed by them. Particles gather above Astel to form a large sphere that teleports Astel away. Astel can teleport to another location to attack you, and this attack is very deadly. When he starts to teleport, sprint away and watches behind you. If they teleport above you, try to watch their arms and dodge when they start to dive as if they are hugging you. This attack can cause a lot of damage and can even kill you, so avoid it if possible.
Astel will teleport away from you and summon rings behind him, which will shoot out Meteors at you. This is another teleport attack. You can avoid these Meteors by running to the side and dodging when necessary.
The last thing you need to watch out for is any movement of Astel’s main body features. For example, you should be careful of their pincers if they start to twitch, and their tails if they start to wag.
After defeating Astel, Naturalborn of the Void, you will receive Remembrance of the Naturalborn, which can be exchanged for Waves of Darkness Ash of War or Bastard’s Stars. For those who complete Ranni’s quest, a path to Cathedral of Manus Celes will be unlocked.
With the above, you can clearly know the location of Astel, Naturalborn of the Void in Elden Ring, his weaknesses, and how to deal with him when fighting him. Hopefully, this will help you win the game!
With the exciting arrival of Fallout 76 Season 17 Skyline Valley, there’s a new area, a new main questline, and a new public event, Dangerous Pastimes, for players to enjoy.
Here, let’s talk about some things you should consider in the new season regarding Seasons System, and the most effective way to maximize your Season Rank.
To unlock the latest Season System, you now have to earn both ranks and tickets, so the obvious question is whether you’ve earned enough tickets to unlock Fallout 76 Items as you level up.
I counted the number of items on each page and categorized them by type, Fallout 1st specific plans and consumables, then general plans and consumables.
If you want to get all the items, you’ll need to pay an average of 190 tickets per page. So not consuming these items can save you at least a few hundred tickets. This is equivalent to 7 ranks per new page. But basically, you get enough tickets to redeem all the items on one page before you unlock the next page.
It seems like the developers have intentionally fine-tuned things to make sure you don’t run out of tickets. This applies from rank 1 to level 100, so within these levels, the new season plays out essentially the same as the old scoreboards. But once you get to the bonus pages, things change a lot.
In the old scoreboards, rank 100 gave you a lot of bonuses, much more than every level before it. It was meant to be a small reward for people who completed the scoreboard. The first bonus page in the new season system plays a similar role and gives you a lot of items. But now you have to pay for tickets to unlock them, and they’re very expensive.
If you add up the prices of all the items, it comes to 1250 tickets. Coincidentally, that’s exactly 50 levels.
So, guess what level you have to reach to unlock the second bonus page? Yep, level 150. So I have no doubt that this is intentional.
On average, it takes 5 ranks to get each item. But since you have now reached a rank 100, you lose score from experience. So you have to rely entirely on Daily and Weekly Challenges.
Now each rank costs 3500 score, which is 17500 score per item. Without using any Boosters or Fallout 1st, completing all six Daily Challenges will bring you 2500 score, and 8 Weekly Challenges will bring you 10,500 score. If you complete all challenges, you will get a total of 28,000 score per week. This means it will take you a little over six weeks to get all the items on the first bonus page.
The second bonus page contains consumables, which you can get repeatedly. Each consumable costs three ranks. But the problem is that you also need to unlock 95 items, which means you need to have Fallout 1st to access the second bonus page.
Most of the rewards are not worth getting through tickets, though, because you can get them through gold or playing games. The most desirable items are Score Boosters, which you can use in future seasons to speed up your score.
If you get this far, I recommend getting as many of them as you can. Carrying Boosters is pretty good if you’re constantly overloading. But for everything else, they’re easier to get through playing.
So you can see that the prices of tickets and items are carefully calculated to use the fear of missing out to encourage players to play longer. But the fear of missing out can only go so far. At a certain point, if you make the cost too high, you actually end up having the opposite effect because people simply give up on getting the items. That’s the problem with two bonus pages.
Before rank 100, you can get items without worrying too much about ticket costs. But once you try to get bonus items, ticket costs skyrocket.
Players who have already played rank 100+ with Scoreboard will continue to do so, so it won’t make a difference to them. But casual players will eventually get discouraged because you’ll have a long period where you get nothing unless you really plan ahead.
Six weeks from the first bonus page to get 10 items is too long. And the fact that you need Fallout 1st to get to the second bonus page, combined with the lackluster rewards, makes it hard to imagine anyone deliberately aiming for the second page.
Generally speaking, for casual players, it’s not worth it to try to get past 100 rank. This goes against what Season System is supposed to be trying to achieve. At the very least, the cost of bonus page tickets needs to be balanced, or the progression needs to be rebalanced to keep those casual players.
Another big change is that you can spend 1500 Atoms to access Fallout 1st exclusive items. Before this, you actually needed to subscribe to Fallout 1st every month. So is it worth it?
Scoreboard itself does give you 1000 Atoms, and Fallout 1st gives you another 1000 Atoms. So in theory, if you spend Atoms to unlock that feature, you'll end up 500 Atoms ahead. You also get a total of 25% score bonuses.
If you know you'll be playing the later pages regularly, it's worth unlocking Fallout 1st right away. The score boost alone means you'll get more ranks, and you'll end up with more Atoms than you started with.
For casual players, you'll need to unlock at least Page 11 to break even, and it's all free Atoms after that. So if you think you can make it that far, it's worth it.
So how should you approach the new Season Format? Here are some tips you need to know.
First, avoid redeeming items right before the end of the season so you know how many tickets you’ll have. This is especially important if you want to get items on the bonus page.
Obviously, every player will have some must-have items, and there’s nothing wrong with redeeming some. In my opinion, the new Cremator weapon is a must-have for this season, but for things like costumes and skins, you should hold off.
Second, focus on redeeming the most important items first. Everyone has different priorities, so what’s important to everyone is different. But getting the most valuable items first ensures you don’t run out of tickets.
Third, avoid acquiring any consumable items unless there’s nothing else to earn. The obvious exceptions are score boosts and atoms, which are always worth getting right away. But things like gold, nuclear keycards, legendary cores, and more, can all be earned by playing the game. Don’t spend tickets on them until you’re sure there’s nothing else to earn.
Fourth, spend Atoms to unlock Fallout 1st items, but only if you’ve played to at least Page 11, so that the extra score boost is worth it. Unfortunately, unlocking items requires tickets, and bonus items are expensive, which means you need to save up your tickets. There’s no easy way to get more tickets, so you need to make sure you don’t run out by the end of the season.
Regardless, I hope the strategies I shared help prevent people from finding themselves running out of tickets at the end of a season and missing out on items they wanted to get. Good luck!
