Hello!

Does the 12k Shadowrend Package come with that armor/form? Like can you click on the weapon to become that creature?

We don't know if they're just weapons or weapons that have an armor compressed into them, you'll just have to wait for them to be released and the info-subs shared.

I was hoping the Ruby Rose set would make a return at some point. Maybe as a reskin. Maybe one day.

Also yes, there’s less than 1 week left for the gold contest. If my app is anywhere near correct we’ll start seeing the snipers coming out of the woods. A subtle reminder anyways that donating gold still takes awhile so if you’re holding up for the last few days you’ll find an extremely inconvenient experience

• A new bonus set featuring 4 items, that comes with the 20000 Z-Token Package.
• Only available until November, so grabs yours before it withers away for another 15 years!

Like Deaf of Destiny said, Hollow has said that the Blood Ruby package will only come once every 15 years. While this is a painfully long wait, the staff is dedicated to promises. Considering Rubification is itself a renamed version of Hypersalinate, it is not impossible for the staff to make functional clones based on Hypersalinate instead. I am assuming that you are not as preferential to the art as you are to the effects themselves.

Because someone poked me about it -- the package is a weapon + a shield. There is no armour.

^^ good to know. Still awaiting what kind of effects are going to be possible.

Also a quick question as we begin to see some movement in the gold contest - how are people farming 204.73% gold caps (217m)? I understand as an x-guard + 8 spirits + hidden power gets you to 200%, but where is that last 4.73% coming from? I want to learn this at least for next time and reach even greater heights.

X-Guardian raises your caps differently than the Spirit Misc. Your default cap still tops out at 100%, it's just 10% higher than regular Guardian. You are right though that is still only gets to 200%

I know that Ballyhoo counts against your cap, but with only 4 views at about 120K that doesn't get anywhere close to 4.73%. ~~Does the Bag of Gold GGB count against your caps?~~

NVM, saw in the entry that they don't count against the cap.

A surprise delivery has just arrived to Aria's Pet Shop! Daimyo's ancient ancestor, Guardie, is here and ready to fight! He can attack with Flame Charge for basic Fire damage, or you can spend SP to charge him with Extreme Speed to attack and Burn your foe!

Info subs!

Also the Heart's Crusher Armaments and Spirit of Love packages have returned!

Question. The donation contest ends on the 31st. Does this mean server time? ie 3pm eastern? End of day? Do we know *exactly* when donations will stop being counted? I think it's important to know ahead of time in case there's some photo finishes and mixed feelings in the event someone loses a spot thinking one thing, but were incorrect in their thinking.

A Daimyo clone? What a great day! Straight to the primary slot for me.

Anyways the shield is an interesting concept - stashing away SP now to use it later. I could get some ideas on how to leverage this, but the heavy initial cost to get only a partial amount over time (and less than what you paid because of the various penalties) would limit its potential utility. However I have no doubt that while this on the surface is perplexing we’ll find some interesting strategies down the road.

Also still trying to figure out that 4.73% thing for the gold contest. Hopefully someone will reveal the answer to that…

But regarding the shield I feel like it would have been more attractive if it had something like a turn cost to increase the amount of SP you get a turn, or make a once per battle thing to increase its power. Who knows though maybe a secret strategy is out there waiting to be known and this is secretly better than I think it is.

why soul rend on the weapon?

The shield actually has a virophage like effect that's seen on the fight, but the weapon doesn't because soul rend isn't a virophage effect. It's not even a good source of soul rend.
It should've done something like imbueing the monster's attack to deal a single element instead with a random chance of it being light or darkness, that'd be in line with a virophage effect and actually pretty cool.

Very much disappointed with the package overall.

Ok, here's an idea I had in mind for a possible change to the shield. Instead of giving you regen, it's a healing spell. Still quickcast, but scales off of the higher of the enemy's light% or dark%.

Like the packages overall - I like the regen, heals actually quite a bit when staked which is nice. Like the spirit rend on the weapon too, glad to have a dark weapon that can spirit rend. Could the weapon maybe have one of the phases of the Virophase monsters we fought during the war of shadows finale as a skill? Those were really cool.

"When attacked, adds the element of that attack to a list. Each time it gets hit with an attack that's already on the list, it adds 1 charge. The list resets when the mob fires its skill.

Skill seeks Light/Dark/Harm, and deals +10% damage per charge currently on the mob. Skill also applies a permanent Regen to the mob worth 5% of a mob's attack per charge. So if the mob has 3 charges, the skill does +30% damage and applies a perm Regen to the mob worth 15% mob damage per turn. Once the skill is done the charges are wiped."

Could stack with the shield that way too. But overall like the set.

I tried it just now and it's still not working, at least not the level 135 and 150 versions :(

Flame Charge: It would be cool if this attack had a chance for Pet Celerity! In the games it gives a speed boost which could be translated to a small Celerity chance.

Growlithe is my fav Pokemon so very excited to see how this pet looks :D

While we're on the subject of the last week to farm the gold contest, I have discovered a fully F2P strategy for warrior farming:

Enemy: Tooty Fruitcakezard

Armor: Tempest Power Armor
Weapon: Burden of Insight / Other
Shield: Soul of Sole
Pet: Angra Linnorm
Guest: Essence of Carnage
Potion: Dead Eye Straight (if not using Burden of Insight)
Stats: 250 STR/DEX/LUK

The strategy is fairly simple: Just attack FruitcakeZard. You'll usually deal around half Fruitcake's HP from your regular attacks (or just kill him outright if you're lucky). Then Fruitcakezard will usually kill himself from the combined backlash from Angra Linnorm and Essence of Carnage. Otherwise you usually are able to kill it, although there's a still slight chance even with all of this you will still die. This strategy took me about 20 minutes to cap, although I did die 4 times so it's probably even faster at about 19 minutes. Burden of Insight is used here because it's the most consistent although you lose a fair amount of damage, but you can use other items for more risk (but more damage) and using Dead Eye Straight to compensate for the miss-chances (although you still can miss even then).

I have a feeling this strategy will actually get even better as the stat revamp occurs as we'll be able to move our points into CHA which will make the backlash component of this strategy much more consistent. With a stat revamp and a possible Energy Lust, this build will become THE warrior strategy.

EDIT: Finally found a fully F2P strategy. This means anyone can now do this strategy.

Also finally had a chance to try Guardie. Love it even besides its aesthetics, and glad it's staying around for the long haul. Burn-based builds will have a field day with it.

EDIT2: 3 days to go until the contests are over. I'll probably take a well-deserved break for a while after that...

EDIT3: Still haven't figured out what the source of that 4.73% is...

^^ Agreed on that front. I've long held the belief that certain Spirits are less valuable than others because there's less days of the month. Thus there should be a compensating increase to balance the miscs against each other.

Also 48 hours until the contests are over. Perhaps it's because it's not yet the last day (or even the last few hours) but there's not been as much movement as I thought there'd be on the leaderboards. Maybe I could be wrong about this all, or maybe people really have either forgotten (because it's been too long) or the people on the leaderboards now are pretty confident they won't lose out on the top cuts they are in right now.

I plan to do an analysis after it's all done anyways about how much error my app made in regards to each placement. I think the most interesting part will be seeing the behaviors of whether people will either be donating more maximally (everything they have) or minimally (just enough to feel "safe" at a cutoff).

EDIT: Finally figured it out. Hidden power of gold is multiplicative on the cap while Spirit of X is additive.

No reason to donate everything unless you feel the need to. For tokens, if you just want to spend real life $$ to throw away...I guess....

If the weapon is 1-50, shield is 51-100, and misc is 101-150.... If I am 133 and in order to get to 100 I have to donate another billion and I only have 600 million, then I know I cannot get to 100 w/o farming my little backside off. But do I want to go broke for an item I have NO idea how good it will be? Or am I satisfied I will at least get a misc and I will only spend more to attempt to keep the misc spot?

The token list should be an exact number. #50 says 25k+ tokens. Well, so does 51-58. #28 is the first person showing more than the 25k+ category, which is a whopping 50k+. If I am in the 10k+ category, I have no idea if I have to spend 15k or 35k tokens to move up past #50. Who in their right mind is going to do that? For items they may think are really bad in the end? I get some players might but not many I'll tell you that right now.

So IMO, since the token list categories donated are so vastly seperated, and because the items are a huge unknown, you will have most players just be happy where they're at *until* they see movement and some players have already given what they're willing to give.

The only exceptions are re-donators, which has been my strategy all along. I have been able to get on to both lists 50-150 by mostly just re-donating what I have received. We may see a hot and heavy amount move from this strat and thats it.
