Dang there’s a general for this game? Also it took 3 fucking years but I finally figured out my aqw account password.. The stupid support wagies declined to reset my password because of a few details I couldn’t remember so I literally had to do it the hard way.

>>3903841 I was lv 87 when I lost my password. Apparently they gave out free idoas for anyone with really old accounts. Gonna use it for the necrotic sword I guess. I need that boost since I only have 50 void auras and not even close to getting the apotheosis. Not like there’s any rares I want because I’m dead set on wearing one specific armor set. Ngl I’m pretty glad I farmed that stupid hard to get yami class and vampire lord is an ok farmer that I got and lord of order for support. Guess I’ll start on continuing the half finished dragon of time class quests.

Holy fuck this archmage questline grind is disgusting. What the fuck were the devs thinking? Who’s the stupid retard that came up with all this bullshit? Why didn’t they learn that the best questline is the one like lord of order? >130 million gold needed >last quest needs 5k+ materials Fucking hell.

>>3908055 King's Echo is fortunately very easy. It's also funny since ArchMage is the best farming class, but one of the worst farms will already be over.
>>3903491 Thanks for posting this, I been a bit busy recently and forgot Also, too bad we forgot to add the Ultras location and time again lol Making a note to remove the enhancements guide if it isn't updated soon
>>3904144 Welcome back fellow returnee, support was able to reset my password >>3903562 I would recommend against IoDAing NSoD, especially if you're farming DroT A +30% is easy and not much worse, also damage boosts don't work on DoTs You could also just get anons here to carry you, /timeinn is so easy it's soloable However, If you're dead set on a +51% then get the Hollowborn SoD, it's better
More endgame classes can be IoDA'd now too, just don't pick VHL (it's complicated) Some 10k chests have classes too, the BF2024 has a non-farmable lategame class Also, if this is your first IoDA, you will get another one for free for two in total
>>3904236 https://www.aq.com/gamedesignnotes/AQW-Balance-PatchNotes-9515 >10/04/24 - Collector of Updates They already buffed it Elodea-anon, over a year in fact Decent with Awe/midgame-Forge, great even with Elysium Still got the meme rank 10 passive, so it'll never be amazing Even better with Ravenous, but why use VoT at that point
>>3908118 >ArchMage is the best farming class AI and EW are better, CSH and KE too if farming potted It's arguably still the best F2P brainless farmer though
>one of the worst farms will already be over Honestly, that's true for most of the endgame farmers I think that's why a lot of people use Dauntless AF

Devs should be forced to grind their quests that they made before releasing them. Shit wouldn’t be 10% as tedious if they actually experienced the grind for themselves.

I'll have enough ACs for a chrono, after the 1k from Frostval plus Honourable I been looking into whether to buy CSH or PhCM, since AQW Hub is outdated We had a question last thread about chrono choice so I'll post my findings later
>>3908874 Bro what are you smoking? All the farming stuff is already in >>3903491 The "Classes" one is by the mentally ill transgender and the "KPM" one is by the NCM hater https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RoPfjKD4Hy-gP_rETUISMllKoi8VpRkMApZdTPP5fe8 If you talking about this super outdated one, then they never even tested EW at all Also, all the farming lists include how they did the tests and the setups involved If you mean pic related that's soloing DPS, has nothing to do with farming
>>3903928 Do I have to get a new class for said bosses, or are any of the ones in picrel still good these days? Haven't played the game in years.

>>3909152 They serve slightly different roles. AP is a great tank that helps the entire team's survivability, and it is often used against fights like Champion Drakath. LoO is just a busted support that massively increases the overall team damage.

Finally finished the stupid awescention questline. Was about to start finishing the enchantments and the very last archmage quest until I noticed that it needs a book of arcana. >look up the wiki to see where to get book of arcana >you get it by fucking doing the questline again What the fuck is wrong with these devs? Literally the only good reward is the 35% all armor and that’s only useful for fucking drakath up while giving a tiny 4% boost with 75% weapons. Archmage isn’t even that great of a farmer. 99% of the time I’m using frostval barbarian to destroy mobs. At least let it do damage to 6 monsters so it can actually occupy a niche like eternal inversionist. Fucking hell.

Are they gonna update mechquest anytime soon? Like there has to be at least one neet dev willing to work for free like the dragonfable guy who is proceeding to turn the game into shit by meganerfing everything into an unfun mess.
Wow chaos avenger quest literally took a day to finish after getting the initial 20 insignias. Why can’t the devs make all the questline like this? >muh difficulty Literally all you need to do to beat him is volunteer to taunt and so long as you don’t skill issue or internet issue, it’s not a problem.

>>3910045 You can say the same for dragonfable when book 1 finished. Meanwhile the dev is dragging its soulless corpse around through book 2 and 3 and just adding challenge bosses and updating previous mission and storylines for the sake of “content” but somehow raising the lv to 100 from 90 is a hard ask.

Is it really that hard to ask someone to take a stupid shaman against azalith? I literally offered to use chunin + lacerate for the extra blind and the 2 negative IQ retards that bothered to stay all day hoping for someone to help them continue to use their shitty chronos that’s not even a SWoT.

Not to mention the incredibly stupid assholes didn’t even use praxis. Can’t believe how stupid people are. Willing to wait all day for help but can’t be bothered to use classes/enchantments that should make sense to use against a boss with almost a billion hp.

I retract my previous statement on just taunting ultra drakath. I've seen too many retards who don't know what a pot is but somehow managed to come across this boss. I literally did the hard part for them and they still fuck up the most simple job of doing damage. Damn these people are stupid.

Holy fuck sovereign of storms was a pain in the ass to farm. I'm glad I had CSS and archmage or this bullshit would've taken forever. Somehow managed to destroy the 5 stupid annoying bosses with it despite them doing shit tons of damage and applying several annoying effects to me constantly. The stupid skye fragments was a 4-5% drop rate for no reason. Good thing I had archmage. Opened the battle analyzer and my kills per minute was like 50. Of course they had to make that a stupid drop rate on top of all the other stupid annoying shit I had to farm. I don't even know why i farmed this shitty trash class.

>>3911994 >You can say the same for dragonfable when book 1 finished. Meanwhile the dev is dragging its soulless corpse around through book 2 and 3 Bro, what? Book 1 storyline is mediocre at best. Book 2 is mid and Book 3 is genuinely great. You do have a point about updating previous missions though
>>3908938 Here's my (belated) CSH and PhCM comparison as promised:
>Chrono ShadowHunter (a.k.a. Power-creep the Class) Pros: - Best solo DPS, excluding transience (O/T)CM - Best potted farmer spamming 4, still decent potless - Best overall enh is Valiance, easiest endgame forge - Fast nuke cycle (~6s) with a simple skill rotation - Bypasses boss shields with the gunslinger mode - Scales very well with fate tonic and felicitous philtre Cons: - Dodge needs timing, spamming tanks DPS (without Rav) - Gunslinger mode needs low ping to do good DPS - Needs two uses of 3rd skill for the nuke to sure-hit - Can't max haste or crit chance without potting - Janky animation with weapon turning into a gun
>Phantasm Chronomancer (a.k.a. Better TimeKeeper) Pros: - Hits dodge threshold with only Examen, easy to loop - Nuke is guaranteed to crit and hit with just builtin skills - Debuffs magical/physical resistance which is very scarce - Still works with boss shields and can even farm decently Cons: - Bad without Vali/Ely/Rav, more than other solo chronos - Slow nuke cycle (~10s) and very high ping lowers DPS - Mashing lowers DPS because you don't loop both buffs - Not as good potted since it has both mag & phys skills
TL;DR CSH is better, but PhCM is still great and has lazy dodge
Feel free to correct if anything is wrong, also here's some tidbits: - With Rav, dodge-spam CSH and button-mash PhCM beats TK - Transience (O/T)CM still has the best solo DPS, potless or potted - Unsure if PhCM or TK is better with just midgame enhancements - AFAIK PhCM is meh without endgame forge due to it's stat model
>>3906337 How far did you guys go with the donating? Do you regret it?
>>3908055 I stopped somewhere in the middle of getting all the repeat books and now I can't remember where to begin again, so I just gave up. I'm happy to spend hours fighting bosses, but I can't stand the grinds like Nulgath that need like 100 different things all gathered from separate sources. The new king class is more than fast enough for most things anyway.
>>3914738 Donated 250 ACs for the badge and to save up generosity coins for a class Kinda regret it, since they still haven't given out the two free coins for this year Considered 1k, but decided not to given the delay. Pet's art is mid as expected Nice armour, must have taken a lot of patience and luck to save up so much IMO last year's 100k set is better, but they're both by Crulon so it's pretty close
>>3914419 Oh right, I forgot to mention few more Chrono facts: - Transience (O/T)CM is the only one to hit the dodge threshold forgeless & potless - S(S/W)oT is the only one that can really benefit from Smite due to the nuke delay - CSH is so good at farming because if you overkill hard enough a bullet isn't used - There's a theory they reworked Ravenous to synergise with PhCM, to push sales
