For whatever reason, the developers seem to have a special preference for Druid class. It has been strong for several seasons, and it is still doing very well in The Pit in Season 7.
When players reach the endgame, powerful monsters make it necessary to have a truly powerful build to make players unstoppable in the endgame and have fun. There are many powerful Druid builds, but the most powerful is Cataclysm Druid Build.
Required Aspects: Stormshifter’s Aspect
Required Uniques: Tempest Roar, Mjölnic Ryng, Airidah’s Inexorable Will
Because Cataclysm is a powerful ultimate damage-dealing skill, the idea of this build is to minimize the cooldown of Cataclysm. Airidah’s Inexorable Will and Stormshifter’s Aspect can both reduce the cooldown of your ultimate skill, so these two items are essential.
If you want to farm gold happily in the endgame, then these items are almost essential.
The basic skill of Druid is Maul, which can enhance Druid’s Spirit. At the same time, you also need to point out Enhanced Maul. It can increase your maximum health percentage. This can increase the tolerance in battle. When you are besieged by a group of enemies, more health can keep you fighting longer.
Pulverize is a core skill. When other skills are on cooldown, using Pulverize allows Druid to continue to deal area damage to the enemy. Maul and Pulverize can work together to not only continue to cause damage to the enemy but also protect Druid to a certain extent.
Debilitating Roa can apply debuffs to surrounding enemies. This skill can not only reduce the damage you receive but also provide a certain degree of assistance in the team.
Earthen Bulwark can provide a barrier for Druid when activated. This barrier can make some damage in a short period. How much can be absorbed depends on Druid’s maximum health? The higher the health, the more it absorbs. At the same time, enhancing this skill can also make Druid unstoppable, which is conducive to Druid getting rid of control and moving to a suitable output position.
Hurricane can continuously deal damage to the surrounding area. You can enhance Hurricane with Enhanced Hurricane and Savage Hurricane. Endless Tempest is a must-have skill because it can extend the duration of Hurricane and Cataclysm.
Occult Gems are new gems in Season 7. Each gem can give the character armor and additional special powers.
Witch Power is the theme of Season 7
Unique Power: Vengeful Spirit
Normal Powers:
Purging Touch and Voice of the Stars can work together to allow your Cataclysm to do more damage.
Mercenaries can provide players with an extra boost, don’t ignore their help in the game. Players can hire two types of mercenaries with Gold.
Main Mercenary:
Varyana, Berserker
Skills: Cleave, Recklessness, Whirlwind, No Escape
Reinforcement:
Raheir, Shieldbearer
Both of these mercenaries can be of great help to Druid when facing a group of enemies
Cataclysm Druid is very powerful. When Druid releases Cataclysm, all enemies will be crushed by the powerful damage. Cataclysm Druid also performs well when facing bosses. But you can’t think that Cataclysm Druid is invincible. You still need to pay attention to the order of skill release. When your health reaches a dangerous value, release defensive skills to recover in time.
In general, the feature of Cataclysm Druid Build is simplicity. When the player completes this build, there is almost no difficulty in operation. Just wait for the cooldown of Cataclysm to end, and then release it. Cataclysm Druid allows players to enjoy invincible fun in The Pit, seasonal quests, and nightmare dungeons.
S-Game recently released a demo video about the boss battle, which aroused the strong interest of all players. Below I will share some information about Phantom Blade Zero with you based on this video.
The conventional offensive means of the game are the light attack and heavy attack of the main weapon. Taking PlayStation controller as an example, the corresponding buttons for light and heavy attacks are the square button and the triangle button. Players can use the combination of light and heavy attacks to perform combos, cause damage, and reduce the enemy’s health.
There are two main defensive means in the game:
L1 defense is divided into continuous defense and perfect defense. Press and hold the L1 button. The character will take a defensive posture and defend against the enemy’s attack at the cost of consuming Sha-Chi. If the protagonist’s Sha-Chi is exhausted, there will be a big stiffness, and he will be unable to move for a short time, allowing the enemy to attack.
In contrast, pressing L1 at the moment before the enemy attacks can achieve perfect defense, which will not only not consume your own Sha-Chi, but will reduce the enemy’s Sha-Chi. If the timing is not accurate and perfect defense is not achieved, a certain amount of Sha-Chi will be consumed. Perfection can be judged by the orange sparks of the weapon collision during defense. If the enemy’s Sha-Chi is exhausted, of course, it will enter a big stiffness, and this is the best time for the protagonist to attack.
The slide dodge of the R1 button is a relatively safe defense method in the game. It does not consume any resources and can handle almost all attacks of the enemy in the game.
Among the many enemy attack methods, there are two special attacks that require extra care, namely red light attack and blue light attack.
It is not difficult to see that the core combat system of the game is centered around Sha-Chi.
Different from the defensive system in Sekiro, Sha-Chi is both a defensive resource and an offensive resource. The player’s Sha-Chi can be used for defense or to launch a heavy attack with the triangle button to perform a combo. The enemy can also defend your combo, but it will reduce the enemy’s Sha-Chi.
In summary, the most basic combat strategy of the game is to use L1 to defend perfectly and use the triangle button to perform a heavy attack at the right time, while guarding against the enemy’s undefended red light attack and using R1 to resolve it. For players with a basic understanding of action games, the basic combat mode can be mastered in about ten minutes.
This main weapon is actually the two weapons held by the protagonist in both hands. The short knife in the left hand is Crimson Viper, which is mainly flexible and maneuverable, mainly used in light attacks; the long sword in the right hand is White Serpent, which has large and long attack movements and is mainly used in heavy attacks.
The biggest feature of White Serpent & Crimson Viper is flexibility and maneuverability, and it can execute enemies from a distance.
In the first stage of the boss battle, the player needs to fight seven enemies at the same time. Obviously, the chief is our main target.
If you only attack the chief, you will find that when his health drops to a certain value, a companion will use silk thread to replenish his health. At this moment, you realize that you also need to reduce the number of enemies on the battlefield as soon as possible, and don’t give the chief a chance to recover.
The snake-shaped long sword White Serpent is swung wide, and the action often rotates in a circle, which is very suitable for dealing with multiple enemies. More importantly, the short knife Crimson Viper can trigger the execution action at a distance without getting close to the body, which is very useful for quickly clearing the field.
This weapon’s combo often has a small stiffness when closing the move, and it can stop at any time. When attacking, you can immediately press the perfect defense when you close your hand, and the attack and defense switch is extremely fast.
The feel of Soft Snake Sword is completely different from that of White Serpent & Crimson Viper. When you first use it, it is just like it looks, soft and weak, with low damage and poor ability to reduce Sha-Chi.
The hidden mechanism of Soft Snake Sword is: after holding down L1 to defend, press the triangle button to initiate a new parry action. If you have resources (the points below the weapon icon), consuming one grid of energy to parry the enemy’s blue light attack perfectly can almost instantly clear the enemy’s Sha-Chi value and derive a new combo move.
This demonstration is one-to-many. In action games, one-to-many is not a well-designed battle scene, or it is not compatible. Friends who often play action games must have a deep understanding: the one-to-many in Ninja Gaiden is very fun, but the one-to-one boss battle is not so refreshing; the one-to-one duel in Sekiro is very exciting, but it is easy to be killed by attacks from all sides when it is one-to-many. One-to-one and one-to-many are not easy to balance.
Just like in action movies, if the villains rush forward, two fists cannot beat four hands. Even if the protagonist has a lot of skills, he will probably lose. If the villains stand aside and watch, it is too fake, and anyone can see that it is acting.
The soldiers can neither rush in all at once and beat the protagonist so that he can’t fight back, nor can they just stand by and watch indifferently. These seven brothers have provided a new solution.
When there are many people on the scene, the seven will frequently set up formations and attack together. This not only resets the battlefield situation and prevents the player from being surrounded for a long time, but also gives the player a good time to cause damage, because this move is easy to resolve and can immediately make a set of heavy damage.
When there are not many people on the scene, his companions will take the initiative to adjust their position, surround the protagonist, and attack in turn. This method seems to surround the player, but because the attack and defense speed of the game is very fast, the enemy’s movement time is completely enough for the player to deal with the enemy in front of him, which actually gives the player time to defeat them one by one.
At the end of the demonstration video, the protagonist uses a giant axe to end the chief. It should be noted here that when this giant axe is activated, the protagonist is not invincible and will stop moving when hurt. The video demonstrator is obviously very familiar with this move, so he confidently uses this move to end the battle.
Phantom Blade Zero will announce its release date this year, and you must be impatient! Let us wait for new news about this game together.
Are you still troubled by some tough bosses in Elden Ring? Are you looking for a powerful build to dominate in the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree DLC? If yes, then don’t miss this guide!
Today I’m going to show you an overwhelming Strength build. This build requires a significant investment in strength, but is easy to get started early in the game. Not only that, but players can transition from a pure strength build to many other variants later, making it an excellent starting build for Elden Ring DLC.
So, what does our build require? For weapons, we choose Executioner’s Greataxe. It has a solid 115 critical damage followed by strong strength scaling.
In addition, we need Ash of War Cragblade, brew Flask of Wondrous Physick, and obtain three Insignia Talismans each: Axe Talisman, Blue Dancer Charm, and Ritual Sword Talisman.
Don’t forget that the most important thing is to prepare enough Elden Ring Runes, whether it is to equip weapons or upgrade stats, this is crucial.
First, let’s start with the basics of farming Greyoll Dragon. But before we head to the dragon, let’s quickly get Lordsworn’s Greatsword, which we’ll later upgrade with Ash of War Sacred Blade to easily use our primary weapon.
On the way to Baron, we naturally grabbed the two halves of Dectus Medallion, all Souls, and other fun stuff at each campfire. For example, while riding to reach the first half of Fort Haight, we can grab Axe Talisman in Mistwood Ruins, which increases the damage of charged attacks. Just nearby, close to the gigantic tree, we can also find Crystal Tear.
In addition, we have to smash the lowly dung beetle north of Third Church of Marika to get Ash of War Sacred Blade.
Once we find Greyoll, quickly grab the back half of Medallion and take him down the usual way. You then need to divide your hard-earned Souls as follows: 20 for Vigor, and the remaining Souls for one real stat, Strength. Don’t forget to continue collecting Boss Souls during the rest of your journey.
Now we are ready to start farming our weapons. Imprint Ash of War on Greatsword, then travel to Liurnia of the Lakes. Ride past Stormveil Castle on the right and reach the first bonfire in Liurnia.
From there, you can already see a church, behind which the thugs with Executioner’s Greataxe are waiting. We can defeat him with Ash of War until he drops our axe. This enemy has a 5% drop chance, which may sound small at first, but it never took me more than 15 minutes.
We now have a coveted weapon that only requires the necessary leveling materials. Well, head to Liurnia of the Lakes and quickly get the key from the dragon, then head straight to Raya Lucaria Crystal Tunnel where we’ll get Smithing Miner’s Bell Bearing [1] and upgrade our Greataxe to +6.
When we were done, we could beat the crap out of our opponents. But we also need a proper Ash of War.
To the southeast of Fort Gael, at the bottom of Caelid, we will get Ash of War Cragblade, which gives our weapons 15% more poise and 10% more damage. This also makes this Strength build even crazier.
Also, don’t forget to upgrade your axe to heavy immediately for better strength scaling.
Now, there is another Talisman that is very important. It is a Blue Dancer. Head to Stormveil Castle, ride east to the bridge next to Mad Pumpkin Head, and cross the vortex into the depths. In the cave, after defeating the boss, we will find Blue Dancer Charm, which increases our damage at a low equipment weight.
Another high-level Medallion is Ritual Sword Talisman, which gives us an additional 10% damage when the health is full. Take the grand elevator to Altus Plateau. From there, head north to Lux Ruins, briefly applaud Queen, and pick up this gorgeous piece of gear from the chest.
We are far from done. From the ruins, enter Sealed Tunnel, go through the gate and climb the stairs, where you can obtain Smithing Miner’s Bell Bearing [2]. Now you can upgrade your axe to +12 and you will have B-scaling in strength.
Now that everything is ready, here comes the slightly tricky part. We will return to the bonfire in Fort Faroth and defeat Putrid Avatar under the tree. He’s a bit tricky in my opinion, but with focus, it can definitely be done.
It only took me about three or four charged attacks to break his stance, and after about two or three turns, he would die and drop Crystal Tear. Together with the previous one, we will brew a Flask of Wondrous Physick. It further increases the charged attack and stance damage dealt.
Now we want to bring the weapon up to A-scaling. We can find many Smithing Stones in Caelid’s Sellia Crystal Tunnel and Altus Tunnel. Once you have all Smithing Stones, you can upgrade your axe one last time to +18, with A-scaling. Now you are ready to start a glorious adventure!
These are all the tips you need to know to complete this Strength build. What do you think of this build? What do you think was helpful? In this spirit, my brave heroes, have a great time and have a great day!
With the arrival of New World Season of the Guardian, players will need a lot of gold to upgrade their gear to reach a 700 gear score. Therefore, farming enough gold coins has become our primary goal of entering the new season as always.
In this gold farming guide, we show you how to make 4-5k gold per hour by farming Dark Hide, and share the best tips and places to farm Dark Hide in Season 5. These top farm locations will earn your tons of New World Coins. Without further ado, let’s get started!
Dark Hide is a rare material in New World that can be obtained by skinning high-level beasts and is used to craft powerful armor and weapons that require a high level of Skinning skill. For example, you can use it in the step of making Prismatic Leather.
As you can see, the current price of Dark Hide in America Northeast region is not very high at 0.65 to 0.75 gold per coin, but you can earn some pretty good coins from it as well.
Let’s start by talking about some tips you need to pay attention to when farming. First, don’t forget to wear farming gear. In my case, these items bring me Skinning Luck.
By the way, Regular Luck and Trade Skill Luck are completely different things. The first increases the drop rate of enemy items, and the second gives you additional resources during gathering. Here we need the second one.
The best item to increase farm luck is Earring. An Earring can give you almost +10% extra luck. And don’t forget to respec your attributes. We need maximum Dexterity, which will increase our yield and luck.
Killing mobs in some areas will drop up to 100 Dark Hide. If available, you can use Savory Fish Cake so you can increase your chances of getting rare items when skinning them, as well as get a little extra gold.
In addition, playing music can also increase your gathering yield. If you wish, you can also use Powerful Proficiency Boost, which increases the amount of resources collected using tools by 15% for 30 minutes.
Next, let’s talk about a few of the best locations for farming Dark Hide in Season 5.
Our first farming site is located in Dredged Landing in the lower right corner of the map. You can see two Shrines here, and you can see the path from one Shrine to the other. There are many lions and scarabs on your path. Farm them to get Dark Hide, Scarhide and Smolderhide. But the drop rate of the latter two is smaller, which is why we need farm luck.
Also at the bottom of the map, where Crocodiles appear, brings us the same resources. You can run and farm the location in a loop.
Another really cool place is Isle of Zurvan. Shrine of the Lion is in this area, and you can also go here to attack Mammoths, but your main farming target here is Chameleon. They are fast and disappear at any time, but are easily killed. The best way is to get close to them so they don’t disappear.
After you kill these Chameleons, you can go over and fight those Mammoths like I said. You can earn thousands of gold coins per hour using this method.
Of course, you can use things like your horse and fast travel to speed up farming efficiency. But in reality, these locations are very close, so it doesn’t make much sense.
In addition, there are a lot of lions here, and killing them will drop a lot of Dark Hide. What’s more, there’s a high monster density here, with 25 to 30 appearing at once not uncommon, making this a quick farming location. Especially if you use a powerful weapon like an Axe or a Spear, you’ll most likely be able to kill them super fast here.
Another location worth paying attention to is Elysian Wilds, where most enemies that drop Dark Hide can be found around the entire area. Most of the enemies here are level 63 and above, so make sure you’re above that and head in any direction that has a variety of beasts in an area to increase your farming efficiency.
I will list three locations with more animal habitats: Hornhold Labyrinth, Shirzad’s Pride, and an elite area in the southern Elysian Wilds.
At the entrance to Elite Zone, you have by far the best spot to farm Dark Hide, where you’ll hunt Mammoths. This area is full of them. They are very high level and are powerful opponents, but their rewards are also very large. Try taking them one by one to make your farming easier. Don’t forget that when you have good gear, you will fight multiple enemies.
The last location is at the end of the elite area in Abandoned Temple. This area is full of lions, and they may offer fewer rewards than Mammoths. However, they are top level, and the higher the level of a creature, the rarer the loot it receives. It should be noted that you can skin Vanash here, so that you can also get some designated item drops.
Anyway, that’s the end of this guide. Hopefully, these tips have been helpful so you can find some places to farm your Dark Hide efficiently and earn a little gold. Good luck!
Today, we'll delve into the recent class changes announced just a few days ago for the WoW Classic Season Of Discovery Phase 3. These updates promise significant boosts to the DPS of certain classes. Over the next few weeks, additional adjustments will be made to other courses. Let's explore these classes changes in hotfixes together!
The Natural Weapons talent has received a major update in Druid. Previously, this talent solely augmented physical damage, but now it extends its effect to boost all damage dealt by the Druids. Then the Gale Winds rune has been greatly adjusted, and the mana cost of Hurricane has been significantly reduced by 60%. This reduction in mana cost allows the Druids to utilize Hurricane more efficiently.
The functionality of Swiftmend talent has been enhanced. Previously, when casting Swiftmend, it would consume either a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target. However, with this update, Druids no longer need to sacrifice these 2 effects when using Swiftmend.
As for the Paladin class, there are a ton of major changes. The damage of the Seal of Righteousness can now result in critical hits. The duration of Sacred Shield rune has been extended to 60 seconds, up from 30 seconds.
The Crusader Strike now refreshes all active judgment effects on the target, extending their duration by 30 seconds. Perhaps the most notable change is that the Seal of Martyrdom can now be twisted with other seals, including Seal of Command.
This introduction of Seal Twisting Paladins in WoW Classic SOD Phase 3 is a callback to an emergent effect from the original Burning Crusade. Seal twisting, though initially considered a bug, became a popular feature among players.
The decision to allow the Seal of Martyrdom and Seal of Command to be twisted together comes with some concerns, such as mana inefficiency and the need for addons like the WeaponSwingTimer. However, recognizing its appeal to many players and its historical significance, Blizzard will monitor the performance of Retribution Paladin closely and may revert the change or make additional adjustments if necessary.
Despite the introduction of twisting, the optimal Retribution play style is not expected to change immediately because of existing interactions between runes like the Art of War, Seal of Martyrdom, and Exorcism. Larger redesigns may be needed to diversify the Retribution play style, and Blizzard is evaluating options for potential changes in Phase 3 or Phase 4.
As for our Shadow Priests out there, the Shadowform now increases all damage done by 25%, up from 15%, marking a straight-up 10% buff to Shadow Priest damage. This significant increase in damage potential offers Shadow Priests greater potency in dealing with adversaries, enhancing their abilities in both PvE and PvP encounters. Additionally, having some WoW SOD Gold on hand can be extremely helpful when you encounter challenging situations.
For Rogues, it looks like they’re trying to bring back the Sword Rogues. Saber Slash bleeds now stack up to 5 times. The damage of bleed in Saber Slash increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the Rogue who applied the bleed. This means that with 5 stacks, you’re hitting 75% harder with Saber Slash or Sinister Strike.
Furthermore, the bleed of Saber Slash now can deal 3% of the Rogue’s attack power per damage, down from 5%. While this is a bit of a nerf, the 75% increase to your initial damage when using Saber Slash is still significant, especially considering it can now stack up to 5 times, resulting in a substantial DPS increase overall.
Shamans will find that Mental Dexterity now triggers exclusively from dealing damage with Storm Strike and Lava Lash. The duration has been extended to 30 seconds, a significant increase from the previous 10-second duration. Burn now increases the damage of Flame Shock by 100%, extends Flame Shock’s dot duration by 6 seconds, and allows Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets, up from 3.
Developer notes that they’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of Mental Dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by Elemental, so the adjustments made aim to ensure its usage is more enhancement-centric. To compensate, the output and usability of the Burn rune have been increased, with a slight Quality of Life (QoL) improvement as a Flame Shock duration increase.
This allows for 2 Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration. However, this may not be enough to bring Elemental up to the desired level, so further tactical adjustments are planned in future class adjustment updates as needed.
At the conclusion of the post, it is mentioned that in the upcoming weeks, there are meticulous plans for further adjustments to Hunters, Mages and Warlocks in future updates. The developer highly values the feedback received since the initiation of WoW Classic Season Of Discovery Phase 3 and eagerly anticipates sharing more details about the forthcoming round of adjustments.
So keep in mind that they are still evaluating and going to be making adjustments accordingly. But all in all, some class updates we discuss are very promising. I'm sure you may be excited about the Seal Twisting Paladin, and the DPS increase to Shadow Priests. Hope you can try it out and enjoy a good gaming experience.
Fallout 76 is an enduring adventure game, and developers continue to inject updates and new content into the game in an effort to keep it fresh. As they keep the game alive, new players continue to enter the vast world of Fallout 76. So, here we want to share 8 key tips to help players get familiar with the game and better enjoy their journey to Appalachia.
The most important tip is to treat the game like you’re playing Fallout 4. It’s better to just focus on completing the mission while avoiding multiplayer events until at least the major mission is completed.
Many public events are ending quests for main and side quest chains, and you must eventually complete them, but if you complete them before completing those quest chains, you will end up breaking your own quest line.
Another reason is that many multiplayer events tend to offer very generous Fallout 76 Bottle Caps and materials as rewards, which are easily better than what you’ll get from missions. If you participate in too many public events, you can easily become disappointed with the main quest rewards.
You can go back and complete quest lines after completing multiplayer events, but they do lose their charm. Therefore, it is best to avoid participating in daily operations, public events, and expeditions until you have completed your primary tasks. Otherwise, you’ll regret starting these multiplayer events too early after they become all that the late game has to offer.
Remember, you can only be a new player once. So before jumping into the multiplayer features, take the time to explore and understand the in-game story.
Also, don’t forget to enable Pacifist Mode after reaching level 5, as this will prevent anyone from PVP you and prevent you from accidentally starting PVP.
In Fallout 76, you can also find Watchtowers, and climbing to the top unlocks surrounding locations. Then, if you’re close enough, you can place them on your map and unlock them for future fast travel.
Note that enemies usually defend these towers, so be prepared to deal with some enemies. But with a little caution and stealth, you should be able to defeat even high-level enemies.
Once you climb the tower, you’ll see a number of new entries on the map. You still need to travel to them in person to fully unlock them for fast travel, and your map will now show these locations.
Additionally, joining a group will give you a stat bonus, depending on the type of group you join. If you are part of a group of four, the maximum is +3. Different groups provide different stat types, including:
Any other groups, such as Daily Ops Team, are for multiplayer events, so don’t join them yet. They are designed for higher-level players and group play.
Becoming a group member does not require you to do anything with any other players. You can simply join a group and run your business like a single-player game, but get some free stat points. So why not?
As we all know, you can fast travel to any location you’ve unlocked by paying a certain amount of Bottle Caps. Traveling to locations on the other side of the map can be expensive, though, and early caps can be scarce. But there are some locations that you can quickly travel to for free, no matter where you start from.
The first is your camp. You can always get to the campsite for free. This applies not only to your main camp, but to any inactive camps you may have. Not only that, but you can travel to any camps belonging to your teammates for free.
Besides camp, there are also some fixed locations that can be quickly traveled to for free, and Vault 76 at the beginning of the game is one of them. It allows you to travel to the forested area on the west side of the map. Rusty Pick will take you to Ash Heap to the south. Whitespring Resort and Foundation will give you access to the southern part of the map at any time.
You can use these locations as waypoints to make your fast travel even cheaper. It’s important to note that the faction headquarters requires you to be friendly with the faction, otherwise you may be attacked when you arrive.
Speaking of caps, early caps can be hard to come by. You can get it by looting locations and selling weapons and junk. But you can actually farm caps with minimal effort, it’s just farming crops.
Once you plant a crop, it will provide you with regular harvests. You don’t need to water them or take care of them in any way, and they will continue to give you regular harvests as long as enemies don’t shoot them.
If you also equip Green Thumb perk before harvesting, your harvest will be doubled. You can use these crops to make soups and teas to feed yourself. Alternatively, you can sell raw vegetables to NPC vendors in exchange for caps.
It’s not the most profitable way to make money, but it is an easy, reliable source of money that requires minor work. Basically, once you decide on a location for your camp, you should plant some crops.
What’s special about Fallout 76 is the use of level scaling on enemies. So as you level up, your enemies will also level up. This means they will be harder to kill as you play.
But as you explore, you’ll find missions that give you unique weapons to help you cope. But just as important as having an excellent weapon is using damage bonuses to enhance those weapons.
Typically, you have three levels of damage buffing perks: Basic, Expert, and Master. Each can be upgraded to three tiers, and if you upgrade them all, you’ll spend 9 perk points to gain an additional 60% damage.
Even gaining one level of each perk will give you 30% extra damage while only costing 3 perk points. That 30% extra damage is considerable, especially for some weapons that can deal a lot of damage.
Early radiation will be painful because you won’t have enough RadAway to throw around. On top of that, any food you eat and any water you collect will give you radiation. So as you play, radiation stacks up easily.
But there is a trick to eliminate radiation in the early game, which is to drink Brahmin Milk. Every glass of milk you drink eliminates 25 radiation.
The best place to find Brahmin Milk is in Flatwoods. There should be about 5 or 6 Brahmin between the building and the creek on the west side of town. Not every Brahmin will offer milk, but you should get at least 3 or 4 every time you come over. This is also the easiest way to reduce radiation early in the game.
Later, as you explore, you’ll find enough RadAways, especially since you can also use Pharmacist perk to maximize the effects of RadAways. But remember early on that you can drink Brahmin Milk as a cheap and effective way to get rid of radiation.
Note that early on, your stats and perk cards are randomized, and it’s easy to look like making the wrong choice has permanent consequences. But that’s not actually the case.
You can change the applied perk cards at any time, the only limit is which cards you can use. Once you reach level 25, you can freely change your special stats using punch cards at the train station or your camp.
After level 50, each upgrade lets you choose a card. You can still open perk packs every 5 levels, but in addition, you can choose your perks as you level up.
So if you don’t get good cards from the pack, or you think you made a mistake in your build, don’t worry, nothing lasts forever. The game doesn’t lock you into a certain build in any way. Once you reach level 50, you can customize your build to suit your needs.
Those are some tips you need to know when entering Fallout 76. By following this guide, you will have a better gaming experience effortlessly. Have a nice day.
In the Path of Exile 3.24 Necropolis League, a 6-link refers to a weapon or body armor with 6 linked sockets, allowing you to support a skill gem with 5 support gems. The damage potential from this setup is multiplicative, meaning each additional support gem significantly amplifies the damage output, sometimes by over 50%. So how can we get them in SSF? Let's explore these approaches together!
First, let's talk about divination cards. Divination cards are rewards from either random or specific monsters. The most common ones typically give you some POE Currency, but there are specific divination cards that offer 6-link items as a reward. You can also influence the drop chance of divination cards using scarabs. In particular, the Divination Scarab is very effective for this.
Examples of these divination cards that are quite common include the Porcupine for a 6-linked Short Bow, The Chains that Bind or the Dapper Prodigy for a 6-link armor, The Emperor of Purity for a 6-link Holy Chainmail, or Imperial Legacy for a 6-linked Imperial Bow.
Head over to where the divination cards drop. For example, The Chains that Bind only drops in dungeons like the Cage, Cells, Dungeon, Penance, Shavronne's Tower, the Control Blocks, and the Slave Pens. You can kill monsters in these areas, and they have a chance to drop the Chains that Bind. Collect them, and then you have your 6-link armor.
For the next method, let's break down the process step by step. Firstly, we'll focus on acquiring Tainted Orbs of Fusing, which drop from Beyond Demons and can also be obtained from Tainted Currency applied to maps in the Necropolis League.
While these orbs are rare, they become more accessible with increased focus on the Beyond content within the Map Device and Atlas tree. It can either add or remove a link on the corrupted item. This mechanic is crucial for the strategy, as we'll use it in conjunction with bench crafting to create a 6-link corrupted item.
In the Solo Self-Found (SSF), you may come across a valuable but relatively common unique item, such as a Heretic's Veil, which is frequently utilized in various bow builds. To acquire this item, run an Alva Temple to double corrupt it, or simply use a Vaal Orb to corrupt it and hope for a favorable implicit modifier. Assuming you succeed in obtaining a decently corrupted unique item, the next goal is to 6-link it.
The next method I'm going to talk about is quite straightforward. In your hideout, you'll have access to a crafting bench. Once you've found the 6-link recipe, which can drop somewhere in Act 8, you can turn 6 sockets into 6-link sockets.
If you don't have the recipe for all crafts you're missing, you can simply scroll down on the crafting bench, and it will tell you where that craft is. The recipe for 6-linking an item costs about 1,500 Orbs of Fusing, but at least it's a certain method.
There's a technique that allows you to guarantee a 6-link result using just one Orb of Fusing with the Omen of Connections. The Omen of Connections is quite rare, and it seems to drop from monsters, making it an exclusive reward obtained from engaging in the Ritual mechanic. During Rituals, you may occasionally receive the Omen of Connections as a reward.
Place it in your inventory and travel to a fresh zone to ensure that no other Omens have been triggered, as they can only activate once per zone. With this Omen in your inventory, use an Orb of Fusing on the desired item to guarantee the maximum number of links. It's crucial to ensure that the item in question either already has 6 sockets or has the potential to reach 6 links.
In the Path of Exile 3.24, you can capture beasts, go to the Menagerie, offer beasts at the Blood Altar, and craft all sorts of gear and fixes. This batch introduced a new Beast to the game: the Black Morgan, who was previously a boss in other leagues. The Black Morrigan doesn't normally spawn, but only appears in the map if you use a specific Scarab, the Bestiary Scarab of the Shadowed Crow.
This Scarab is fairly rare, but you can use the Atlas strategy to get more scarabs and block the ones that you don't want. What you need to do is run a map with Einhar, make sure that he's actually in the map with the Bestiary Scarab of the Shadowed Crow, and also with the Bestiary Scarab of Duplicating so that when you capture the Black Morrigan, you can get 2 copies for crafting.
Then you head to the Menagerie, and the Blood Altar is giving you a recipe to craft a 6-link item. Any item with 6 sockets can be 6-linked using this, as long as the item isn't corrupted. This is a truly amazing way to 6-link armor and weapons, including unique ones in Solo Self-Found (SSF).
In this guide, we’ll cover 5 rune farming tips in Elden Ring. These tips can help beginners master the basics of rune farming and make them more familiar with the rune farming methods of the land.
Since there isn’t a rune farming tutorial in the game, hopefully, this will give you an idea of some simple rune farming strategies to get you started by giving you some handy information to help you farm runes more easily. This way, your character will quickly become powerful and ready for Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which launches on June 21st this year.
I want to preface this section by saying that some players consider rune farming or exploiting glitches or exploits to get runes quickly to be cheating, and you shouldn’t do it.
However, I think anyone who plays the game has the right to decide how they enjoy it. This includes rune farming strategies, using exploits in the game, and even purchasing Elden Ring Runes from third-party sellers. No one has the right to tell you how to have fun.
One of the easiest places to farm runes in Elden Ring is Gatefront Ruins. Gatefront Ruins is located in Limgrave, just north of Church of Elleh. It’s filled with relatively easy-to-kill enemies, and with a little more strategy and caution, you can make a tidy profit here.
I’ll show you the route I took on the outside to get you the most bang for your buck. While I’m at it, I’d like to point out that there are a few things to pick up here, the first of which is Limgrave West Map. You can find it in a large stone steel in the center of Gatefront Ruins, which is guarded by several Godrick Soldiers.
Another item you can pick up is Whetstone Knife, which allows you to equip and change Ash of War on your weapon. It’s in a chest south of Ruins. You can also get Ash of War Storm Stomp from here.
You can also pick up two weapons, Lordsworn’s Greatsword and Flail. However, you can find other options from the enemies there.
The primary goal here is to kill as many enemies as quickly as possible and then reset them by resting at Sites of Grace. As long as you want to get ahead on some of your attributes, you can do that as often as you want.
I will mention that before thinking about increasing damage stats like Strength or Dexterity, I always recommend increasing your Vigor stat to 20 or 25 for increased survivability.
Another decent rune farming area is located in Caelid. To get there, you’ll need torrents, and you’ll need to start at Sites of Grace, just north of Agheel Lake. You then need to head south across the bridge and then northeast to Mistwood Outskirts Sites of Grace.
You can open the map and view Glintstone on the map. You can pick up the map if you want, but be aware that there are 3 giant Runebears nearby, and they may kill you if provoked.
You can also go around them, pick up the map, and go east to Third Church of Marika. Activate Sites of Grace, grab Flask of Wondrous Physick, Sacred Tear, and Crimson Crystal Tear, go through the hole in the wall on the northwest side of the church, and head to the back of the church.
You will then be transported to a distant place in Caelid, known as Bestial Sanctum. Be careful to avoid the huge Black Blade Kindred Creature here and continue heading south. Next, cross the bridge to Lenne’s Rise and capture Sites of Grace.
Our major goal is to farm the enemy here, Silver Sphere. There are two spawning sites just west of Lenne’s Rise, one close to it and the other a little further on the road to the west.
Each Silver Sphere will grant you 1,952 runes. You then continue to Sites of Grace and rest to reset enemies and rinse and repeat.
The third rune farming strategy I want to talk about is Dragon. This strategy is suitable for novice to intermediate players.
First, you need a weapon that causes blood loss. The most accessible and available to any class without stat investment is Morning Star. It can be found in a chest inside a broken carriage a little south of Limgrave.
Next, you’ll reach Lenne’s Rise using the strategy I mentioned above. Then head to the back of Lenne’s Rise via torrent. Go to Spiritspring and collect Golden Runes near the coffin.
Then head southwest down the hill and directly south to Fort Faroth to activate Sites of Grace. The target you want to kill is a dragon named Greyoll. If you get in the right spot, not only will nothing attack you, but you’ll also be able to kill the dragon.
If you are a Scholar or a class with a Strength below 12, you will need to use Morning Star with two hands. Get on the torrent and run towards the dragon, attack with Morning Star to trigger the blood and repeat until there is only a little health left.
Next, this is where you make your decision. Either you can kill the dragon and get about 50,000 runes in one go. Or you can use a glitch to farm the dragon repeatedly, essentially giving you infinite runes.
If you want to exploit this, get on Torrent while it has a little health left, but aim Torrent next to Greyoll so you can still hit her. If you do it correctly, you’ll gain 50,000 runes, and Greyoll will still be alive. If you do it wrong, then she disappears. You get the rune, and you get 5 Dragon Hearts.
The fourth rune farming strategy I want to talk about is Albunaurics and Birds. This rune farming strategy is suitable for intermediate to advanced players.
Albunaurics and Bird I’m talking about are both located in Mohgwyn Palace. The nearest Sites of Grace is Palace Approach Ledge Road. You need to either reach Consecrated Snowfield or complete Varre questline to reach Mohgwyn Palace.
Next choose Albunaurics or Bird. If you choose Albunaurics on the slopes, then you can attack them all at once or in large groups using your maximum range weapons or magic. Sacred Relic Sword excels in this regard. On your first playthrough, you can get around 70,00 runes per run, or 150,000 runes if you use Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot.
If you choose Bird, face the edge of the cliff, equip a bow, switch to first-person mode and shoot him to attract him and lure him off the cliff. On your first playthrough, you’ll get around 11,000 runes per run, or 26,896 runes if you use Gold-Pickled Fowl Foot. This is also by far the most efficient and fastest way to farm runes in Elden Ring.
Which brings me to the last strategy for farming runes, which is collecting Golden Runes. This strategy is suitable for beginners to experienced players. It depends on which Golden Runes you get from which coffins.
Golden Runes can be found in several locations across the land, but the most important way to find them is to look for cemeteries with coffins or sarcophagi inside. Every place with these will have Golden Runes, so keep your eyes open when exploring. There are quite a few of them, and the best part is that you can collect them as you go through torrents.
That’s it for today’s guide. I hope these tips help you farm as many runes as possible to get your character ready for the expansion coming in June!
