I would say the tremendous upside to this as well which is even better, augmentation transfer exist, which means people won't need to slot the entire equipment again when they move up, which is way more healthy, and it's going to incentivise even more people get a farm this, which is going to make it even more available to everyone
Indeed, Augment Transfer has & will continue to be a huge catalyst in allowing people to feel more comfortable in freely farming new augments & upgrading gears! Which in turn benefits the community as a whole, because more geared people, makes for overall better efficiency. That efficiency directly translates into meseta-making practices such as PSE Farming in Crimson Realm. Which, the amount of meseta you make is going to be directly correlated to your gear. Better the gear, faster the mobs are defeated. Faster the mobs are defeated, the more chances for drops. The more chances for drops, the more meseta is made & the overall amount of time saved on upgrades (such as MARS Upgraders). Lots to be had with GDK 2 and the new revamped Crimson Realm Rank 5!
I find mixture of playing and buying Augments for players that have limited time to play best option. Buying Aug is just a little top to increase that successful % boosts. I'm not sure if most people noticed but they have limited the amount of Aug protection you can get from SG badges in item recycle to i think 1 per month which is really frustrating.
For sure, a mix is perfectly fine! I was moreso stating the fact that I don't buy augments & just always have materials to make augments without really having to go out of my way to do so, as an example that it's very possible and well within scope. Ultimately though, it's important to do what works best for you as an individual! And indeed, aug protects from the Item Recycle are about once a month. I believe they've always been like that. One of the biggest, if not the biggest perk for someone who's moreso gameplay oriented, about Premium, is having access to the possibility of Aug Protects appearing in your SG Treasure Shop. As, naturally Aug Protects are virtually the most valuable item in the entirety of the game. Followed directly by Aug Transfer Passes.
Do NOT sell your GDK II for cheap, it is a very strong capsule that got under valued! I would strongly recommend people make grand dread keeper IIs from dread keeper Vs. Duel 3 is not hard to run, and it is more profitable to buy DKV and craft them than buying the GDK I or IIs. That being said, GDK II is actually the best in slot augments for Deft build. Meaning if people wanna go for best in slot (other than abandac), they drop either glan or gran, and use GDK II on their weapon instead. Also GDK II make fixa attack actually better than fixa fatale, and deft build for fatale is better than potency build for fatale as well. It is something people might wanna pay attention when they are planning for next update.
If you have the triggers, it's an option if you're specifically fishing for those two particular items. I wouldn't necessarily say DFI over Crimson Realm farming though. In fact, it almost seems inefficient in comparison to do DFI over Crimson Realm. However, be careful on buying DFI triggers if you don't already have them, because that's surely prime territory for scalpers & market manipulators. Whom are likely already in it. Also remember, you get A LOT more than just those items by doing Crimson Realm. Which for someone like me, who likes to be prepared/futureproofed & never spends meseta on augments, is a huge plus. Also remember you're going to get 1000x more Stat V(Precision, Might, Technique) augments in crimson realm than compared to DFI. Which in turn, is going to drastically enhance the amount of Dualbles you're overall receiving, as they can be directly exchanged for Dualble V's. Don't sleep on Crimson Realm.
howd you go with mars? it's fun as hell and looks really cool but I am doing less damage than with my standard equiped gear. besides the one time big honking space gun that does 1/2 million damage that is. i pumped in 36points and a bunch on critical rate and potency in the general section so I am not lacking there.
I personally chose Nidhoggr & Scylla as my combination. I touch more on the things you mentioned in the rest of your response in an upcoming video that's already been in the works.
I'll do crimson realm until i get bored then farm the drills, and just rotate over and over, take a break here and there of course while waiting for uq.
this is so true people always ask me how do i get such high potency as a f2p its pretty easy especially with all these rdr boosts happening lately like 1-2 hours farming gigas or dreads with 250 rdr gets 1 gdkII or glan giga etc and this is solo
Indeed! It's honestly really easy to gear in this game if you just take advantage of all the boosts and campaigns that they constantly throw out that often lasts for several weeks at a time. Creating plenty of time to capitalize on them at your own pace. The big thing is simply that you do capitalize on them!
I'm not sure which specific fashion item's you're referring to. As there's a lot of them and prices will vary. Some are cheap, some are expensive. There's definitely scalpers who scalp fashion items, though at the same time, for limited fashion items like those that come from AC Scratches where people are spending real world money, it's fairly normal that you would imagine those stay costly. As, they can no longer be obtained and they cost real world money. You can't just go out and farm fashion items like you can augments. With all that being said however, fashion items are 100% heavily scalped. But ultimately, those don't really impact the game & the user experience like making gearing options out of reach by scalping does. So I'm personally not as concerned about those from a community aspect. As, there are thousands of fashion options that a character can involve themselves in. Cheaper, expensive, etc. Which is not the case for a particular handful of augments that are needed to run content efficiently. In a sense, it's comparing apples to oranges. I don't think a cap should be put on fashion items, or any items, at that. At the end of the day, it's a free market, but naturally greed is going to fuel a lot of decisions.
Hello! Currently the only options you have to obtain Dread Keeper V's are from Dreads Level 80+ which currently only exist in Gorge and Rwh Maqead. Outside of that, Captans in Crimson Realm will drop them, but you'll often go a very long time without seeing a Captan trial, so this wouldn't be an efficient way to farm them. Dreads have a 5min respawn timer, so you can rotate between spawns. They're also craftable, but recipe requires Photon Chunks, which are pretty scarce, so I wouldn't recommend going the crafting route.
If you took advantage of the events & previous campaigns we've had in the past, you'd likely already have a good number of DK5s piled up. Specifically the Mutant Dread event that we had in Kvaris not too long ago. This would've been a good opportunity to have an abundance just sitting around. Naturally, if you were not able to take advantage of such campaigns, the only real way to get DKV's is by killing Dread/Veteran enemies. They can also be crafted in the augmentation shop, however these crafts require Photon Quartz, so I wouldn't be so hasty to use that method. Dread/Veteran enemies spawn every 5 minutes in their respective zones. I hear Gorge is currently a good option for this.
@@michaeljacobs7538 So the main thing to remember about DKV, is that as drop items, they drop from Veterans(Dreads) Level 80+. I did just confirm that the dreads in Rwh Maqead are also 80+. So if you're looking directly for DKV drops, then Gorge & Rwh Maqead I believe are the only two areas with level 80+ Dreads currently, outside of events.

Seems like DFI is still the best farm over crimson realm, since it gives both dualble Vs and updaters. Buy those triggers before price goes up!

What I can make during 3 day shop pass will be sold. Afterwards the rest I make are mine, all mine. Gonna start gambling augmentation anyway
Sounds like a game plan!

Speaking scalping what’s up with the fashion items? SEGA is gonna have to step in and price cap stop. I hate for this to happen but wtf.

Where the hell do we get dread keeper 5

@@Spikesxu thanks
All its fine i have the materials to crafts gdk2 but i need to know where i can farm dread keeper V

@@rukeva Ah, I see I see. Welcome to the game! And I'm glad to help answer questions where I can!
I'm with this. I started right before the mutants and been looking for dkv. I'll check gorge.
