Class Wars and motivation

Hi all!

Here's a fast summary of how to prepare for cw:

• Resistence! basicly, focus on 3 resist, and don't focus on your "weak" res(If using herc, don't up wind). Cause if you have -200 use all lv7 crystals, you will end up on 300 res, but most opponents have around 500 resist reduce, making that POINTLIESS.
• Pots, scrolls. Remember that the "milk" at farm counts as SCROLLS. with the little bag space we get now, I would recomend starting at 19:45, so you got 10-15min to complete all the potting.
• Make up your strat, and counter measures before. Hesitation can make or brake you. Makes sure to use the 2 runes YOU like the most.
• Lastly, have fun, none of us will make top 100, so just have fun and compete within the guild :)

Second thing I wanna talk about is motivation, something everyone has problem with at a time or two. except for Atleet, but we don't know what kind of drugs he does :p

So I will share my thoughts on Motivation - why and how

Why
  - I remember when I was competing time trails on another game, I had the best times in the world, and it was like that for 2-3 years. It was not cause the competition didn't exist, but those behind me was to far behind me, so my motivation went bye-bye. Then after 1 year they started beating me, and I was like "Yay now I gonna fight back", but then my motivation was gone, cause I had lost my skills during that time.

So Why motivation is the key in Wartune? Well Wartune will take a stab at motivation in many ways. With bugs such as dc in Dragon Invasion(Yes it's a bug, only happens in top), Players that bots, Players that abuse glitches. So you need strong motivation, and you need a goal that aren't affected by those YOU think are cheating(Cheating in my eyes, aren't cheating in others eyes, but my opinion is what matters to me).

With motivation you can get far, also you have the energy to do that little extra! like maps, or spire, not just those "must".

How?
 - Well my motivation is always to reach the next 100k mark. But my true motivation is to be the best non-cheating/non-botting mage. And I must say only 2 that defently beat me in my opinion, but one is a bot, the other one glitch abuser. So as I said before, they are not on my list. they do not exist when it comes to competition.

Also a goal is to always get longer in DI(7 bosses down), Spire(22 bosses down), and beating EF on nm is a goal. Whatever your goals is, just make sure to use them as motivation. It can be anything really, having fun? annoying people(this goal I have all the time)? being a smartass? Doesn't matter, anything that keeps the motivation up, is good!

Finaly I will add my priority list if motivation is low:

1. Nirvana/EF! yes, gear is the most important to make your char stronger
2. Tok - Eudaemons are important from now on.
3. You think DI right? No... MAPS! resistence is more important than ever

Those are the 3 MUST DO.

    4.Arena
    5. DI, gold always needed.
    6. Bi, cause of gold
    7. spire

I don't include the single stuff, as most of that is easy to do as you do not need team. Wilds you can do alone, and getting help for bosses aren't hard.

Ok this was a long post, so I will leave now. Take care and have fun!

Elemental Forest?

Want the new gear? It takes around 10-15 runs to get it(blue). If you got plenty of The Empire Crusade feel free to ask me to get a run. I can solo too final boss, and can't beat final boss most times with a full team.So it will help me get my gear faster as well! Even if you don't got plenty of The Empire Crusade, it might be worth spending 14-15 days to get it :)

Summary

Hi all! Our mexican meatball said yesterday he has no idea how the new farm works, so directed him here, so I thought I would make a fast summary for the patch.

_-Farm-_

There's now animals and new type of plants. if you want:

• Whips go for horses
• Mahra go for goats
• Zeus blood go for deers
• The new pots, go for cows

I recomend a mixture. Would go mainly zeus blood in one, and the other I would start with Pots, then gradually go more and more for mahra once you built up a reserve of ingredients. As for plants, just plant a few of each and you are good.

Don't forget mini toa everyday by clicking campfire and inviting people!
_________________________________________________________________________________

_-Dimension-_

The new dimension is a good addition with a bad twist. Basicly you can earn loads of more USEFUL stuff. But you can also get into a dilema where you can't do much. Basicly when you open a dimension 2 things can happen: It´s empty, yay! do as you used to. Or, It's occupied... what to do? Well search the dimension first to steal any goodies(dragons den, treasure thieves, free moves) that person left behind. Then quit the dimension and open another one, Unless it's the last one you have, or few of the high level ones... then I guess it's survival of the fittest!

_________________________________________________________________________________

_-Sacrifice-_

Basicly, you get the items from dimension, and use it to get goodies... that's all!

_________________________________________________________________________________

_-Eudaemon-_

The new big cash thing! but it's still fun for us. Currently I've explained all that's needed in the post below, so read it there. As for 2nd Eudaemon bieng random, might change. So I might hold of for a little while :)

_________________________________________________________________________________

_-Elemental Forest-_

The most fun in a while, you have to think in this dungeon! So here fast tips for the bosses:

First boss, dual water element boss:

• Get water res up to around 500 at least and the boss won't hit hard
• Both boss must die during the same round
• Having both M and P.atk is useful, so use sylph to compliment.
• P.atk seem to go down a lot faster in most teams, so go easy!

Last bosses(listen easiest to hardest)

Wind

• Up wind res
• Go full out dmg, with high wind res this boss shouldn't do much dmg, max 1 bless needed in a good team.
• Amnesia can be removed with awaken(not puri) or unawakening.
• Stun is annoying!

Electro

• Up elec res
• Having purge rune is really useful here. So if you are 3 non-archers, you 3 should handle the purging as scatter has a casting time that takes away from dmg.
• Basicly just a race to kill him before he buffs. With guardian rune, you can take 2-3 hits.

Fire(HATE!)

• Up fire res
• Play this fight just like it's a normal boss, meaning, don't care about the chaos
• Before delphic, time so you have 2 left on the counter of chaos, attack, rune, delphic. This will make your delphic hit most time!
• This boss has the least hp of all I think, I can solo half, so basicly, if you just try and try, you will eventually beat it when luck rolls.

_________________________________________________________________________________

That's all! Hope this fast summary is easy to read! Now I will only post whenever I see someone ask something :p

Eudaemon!

This one will go in deep instead of just on the surface as the rest, cause everyone knows the basic I guess? If not, ask in game :)

Eudaemon is basicly a mini-you following you around. So lets dig into how you can improve your Eudaemon!

This is your basic screen, shows all the stats you need to know!

As you see I just have one right now, but this applies to all classes, so don't worry!

First of, you can level the Eudaemon, and this will increase the % of the stats it takes from you. by clicking on it you will get the picture below!

As you see you can increase your basic stats of the Eudaemon by upgrading it with Zeus blood(check farm, dimension and sacrifice section, that's where they drop mainly). I would suggest, if you have the space, hoard them til you can level it, cause there could be an event coming up, but could as well not be. And it goes fast to get enough!

Second tab is Enchance, basicly, this is for making the gear better. You get those materials from dimension(new monster) to enchance.  The rest are basicly just event/casher items right now. So don't feel the need to go in deep there :)


Skill are something that's really important, just like your own toon. Nothing much to be said here, but I would suggest spending a few BOUND BALENS if you don't have a DELPHIC(S-Skill), There's a neat extra  function it unlocks, something people like calling "Momentum". Basicly what happens is when you press SHIFT or CTRL, the skills becomes lit again, and you can press the key for you next skill, after your current skill has been thrown, you can press the next one, that way making your cast time a lot faster, and making your dmg output around 30-40% higher.
Buy skills at:

• Guild shop, 500, really cheap, but RANDOM! 
• Shop, 50BB for class specific skills, well worth it I think, at least til you get the skills you want :)

There's also a passive tab, there you find a bit more passive skills, the 2 big ones are resistence to AMNESIA and CHAOS. Not only is this superhandy in PVP, but the new dungeon, has 2 out of 3 final bosses using chaos or amnesia. Resisting it only once out of 20 times might save your team! second skill I wanna raise up is the increase rage one. I bet some are like me, and don't wanna waste a thunderer in spire, when boss has 2% health left, but are at 95-96 rage, this skill will increase your cap 10 rage xlv. So this skill is really awesome!

Of to the final part, and war emblem tab!

So instead of taking 3 extra picture(lazy, yes), I just put numbers on the thing I explain.

1. One will help you increase the ammount of RES you reduce on your opponent when your Eudaemon attacks... darn funny sentence. Works just like your own. These items drops... well I don't know really, but have a few, so think it might be elemental dungeon.
2. Same here, but you can freely change the res you want to be protected against, these also drops in Elemental I think. My tip here is to level one slot at a time on each. Like for me, I level the one I have elec res on on the top one first to lv1, then I level the next one on the lower one, then I will keep doing like that so I can increase 1 res as much as possible.
3. Final one, This one actually unlocks more "Emblems", aka Res triangles! not only that, also gives the base stats a small boost. same here, elemental!
4. EDIT: Actually, all these items drop in TOK! xD

Well that's a quick explanation, so a quick dot thingy to refresh memory

• Zeus blood increases the stats the Eudaemon takes from your stats
• Increasing War emblem lv won't just increase the possible resistence, but also stats.
• Skills are fairly cheap, so don't feel bad if you spend a few BB on contribution to get what you want
• Hoarding isn't really neccery unless you really really really have the space. but at least make sure you can level what you use :)

A little side note: Even tho say my Eudaemon has more P.atk than say Mack, doesn't mean my Eudaemon will outdmg him, cause they don't have astrals and such to boost the dmg. Funny tho, if I remove my sylph and Eudaemon, my br is around 270k,  meaning base wise, I am just 60k br stronger than her... So will be intresting seeing once you start maxing it out, if it will be basicly as strong as you or not?

Sacrifice system!

Sacrifice is a decent new system, that works great for those that don't even use cash/vip.

So where do you get the offering? well there's 2 places!

• Dimension chest, RARE DROP
• Dragons Den's inside of dimensions, there should be atleast 1 in each dimension 90% of the time.

Talking to Amanda will give you a new screen to sacrifice.

As you see I had a few sacrifice here, so you'll see if you have any if you are to lazy to check through your inventory!




And below here you see some example on what you can get. Here's are other things I'´'ve seen:

• V.Hammers
• Eudaemons mask thingy
• Mahra
• Whips
• Refinement stones
• Crystal shards
• And much more

So make sure to make use of this system! And make sure to do dimension everyday!

Dimension

Tried my first dimension(new) today. To get access to the new dimension stuff you must OPEN A NEW DIMENSION.

From what I have understand this is how "dimension wars" works right.
When you open a dimension 2 things can happen:
     a) You get a completly new dimension
     b) You get a dimension that goes to someones elses dimension
In return the same thing happens to others, so when they open one they might come to the one you have started.

Basicly, if it´s a basic and you have like me 10+ of the one you want, if you would get one that is occupied, just re-open another one. And I for one won't feel bad if I steal someones dimension, due to bad game idea :p

There's new drops for upgrading your guardians gear, also as a fairly common treasure thief, that's at least 30bb for free, making the bb gain from dimensions even greater now.

NEW EVENTS(that I can recall right)

• New monster that gives you stones to enchant your guardian gear(got 12 today, so will go fast upgrading I guess?
• "Quests". Basicly you get a quest, can be take 10 steps, or find treasure maps or kill monsters, and you get rewarded when you have completed it.
• Should exist a "DRAGON LAIR", but didn't find one. Here you will recieve "sacrifice items". Currently the only way for players to get V.Hammers without spending!

I like this change more and more, but I know I will hate it if Fairbot or someone that I ignore in game steals my dimension :p But hey, it's part of the game, enjoy it instead of getting upset over stuff the game forces others to do to you.

I will post more if I find anything else tomorrow!

Farm

The farm is a bit new so here are quick notes on what is new and such.

First we have the campfire you can start, it is basicly like your own "Toa"/"summon". Yields a lot of exp actually, and gold if friends lit the small fire. You can help 2 times per day, 3 campfire each. Try and do both each day as even helping yields quite a good ammount of items :)

New to the farm is farm animals, they are used to create some goodies such as Whips, Mahra, Zeus blood and new "pots"(10% increase of 1 stat). Basicly this is what it is:

• Horse = Whips
• Goat = Mahra
• Silk Deer = Blood
• Moo cow = Pots

I am current running the 2 hedge with 7 of the silk deer and cows, then one each of horse and goat. when I feel I got enough surplus of cow items, I will change them into more goats.

• You can have Goats and cow together
• You can have horse and deers together
• Max 9 in each pin
• Think for youself, what you need most? if you still need a lot of mahra and whips, go 50/50 maybe?

There's also new type of plants you can plant, under special tab. That's needed to make stuff. I plant 4+4+4+6 of each, 6 being the grass you feed animals with. You can ofcourse do as you please :)

I will open my first new dimension today, so will make a post about it as well.

PS: Had wrong number on max animals, it's 9 not 8 :)

Elemental Forest

How do you manage the new dungeons? here are fast and easy suggestion to make sure you get something out of it

As you see it recomends 700 res, but what does that mean? well, the bosses has element, 1 guaranteed, 1 random. Water is always on the dual boss. The dual boss must be killed during the same turn. Here's my suggestion:

• Res requirement: 550+ water(the higher the better)
• If you want full run, 700+ on whatever res the final boss has! 

Here is a preview of my res at a random time. As you can see I have "semi high" res across the board, but can raise my res to 550 without dimension to any res. you need to be able to do the same, and be willing to convert inside the dungeon.

Quick notes:

1. First boss always water based. 
2. You need to kill both boss at same time
3. Mobs are harder than the first boss really
4. The final boss will always be FIRE, ELEC or WIND
5. 500k br needed(new br). 450 with high water res perhaps?

Res - How does it work?

So, usually people overcomplicate this, so I will make it super easy.


Everyone knows that RES makes you take less dmg from enemies. But some enemies has no res.

So where does enemies have res?

• Sky trail
• God Descent
• Wilds
• DI
• THE NEW DUNGEON AFTER PATCH!

Res is important in tanking, as you notice on me. So what res is best to focus on? Well the main thing right now is DI, and all bosses after 4 til like 10, have NO RES or FIRE RES. So making you fire res is defently best.

However, with the new dungeon, you'll need to be able to get as many of the 4 basic res(fire, water, elec, wind) up to 700 or close to it.(first boss has water element, so maybe best making sure you have high of that firstly)

How to increase res?

• Res crystals
• Dimension

So the key to having god res is first of getting 5 lv7 res crystals, that's 450 res, meaning you can get any res up to 650. Dimension have to do the "next push". However after patch, you can make lv12 res crystals. but until you get that high, dimension will do the most work.

                                                                                                                                                  

Quick on what I said if you don't want read it all:

• Outside of DI, GD, ST and the new dungeon, res will go after your highest res most of the time
• New dungeon will require high res, and converting res crystal on the go.
• Res crystals and dimension are the only way to upgrade your res, so make sure to do dimension.
• FIRE res is best to raise RIGHT NOW as DI almost only uses that res.

Take care and hope this helps, if not, at least I had something to do now :p

IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU DO NOT QUITE UNDERSTAND, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL MAKE A POST ABOUT IT.

Patch this week

Most likly the 16th(maybe 15th) we will get an patch. So here are recomendation to make sure you are prepare when it hits and what you need to know:

(skip if you just wanna see what you should save)

1. Guardian

Guardians will be like an weak version of yourself(stat wise, 30% something). You will be able to make 2 guardians(4 if married, not sure how it works exacly, 2 each is my guess but you can use each others).

2. Dimension wars

Very bad information about this, but basicly it will be like wilds, for dimensions. I will post a detailed explanation when I know more once patch hit.

3. New dungeon

In game recomendation is 700 res, and no that's not just 1 res, but you should be able to switch res so you get close to that(not many can do that is my guess). However first boss is water based, so my suggestion is to get that res to 700. second boss can be any of the 3 remaining basic res(fire,elec and wind). We will have to keep ourself to normal, and I will try and help as many as I can, if I can beat it.

4. Sacrifice

Sacrifice is basicly what it sounds like. You sacrifice an item, get to choose between several prices(special item for the event), DECENT/GOOD prices.

5. Farm

Getting a big revamp, will be like cloud city, more planting spot, animals, and more. animals are for making ingredients for guardians upgrade I think(can be totaly wrong), and new pots.

6. Goodies Link

New minigame, basicly pair with a line that can "turn once". simplier than that I can't explain. Nothing can be between the items, the faster you do it the more points.

WHAT TO SAVE?

• Dimensions chest - New items as rare drop for Sacrifice system
• Tok chest - Same as above, but for guardians
• Bound Balens - Might sound stupid, but as Necro and Purgatory is free after patch, don't waste keys on it for example. And I think dimension wars costs BB, that's why I would suggest to save up 1k or so.

Hope this clear most things up, if not, shout for me in game, also tell me in game if you think I should keep this up or if it's easier if I just tell you in game. This is mostly so I maybe can save 5-10mins explaining to each one, and just get small questions, so hopefully this works for both!

Hi Equalists. I am creating this "blog" to help myself save time explaining new stuff, and giving tips how to improve your character. I will start posting here hopefully once a day to help you guys grow!
