I had thought that the OFC was a mana skill, but now it’s costs charges instead? Wa s this always the case or was it updated? Also, I heard that melee users depend on it heavily, what is the strategy that uses it so much(just got it so not sure)?

always was that way. Just use it to finish a RE on PFUDOR fast. Or just blast whenever you have full OC

Ah, got it so I guess I misread it when reading about it. Don’t want to have to ask so many questions just this last one. I’ve been struggling to even do IWBTH, and so gathering enough charge to even use the OFC seems too difficult for me. Are they tips?

Also, thank you for the reply.

At low level fairly normal. I think with your level you can't even cast weaken every turn yet.

This game has a weird curve. At extremely low level (=1) you can easily stay at the highest difficulty. With levels, this gets harder to the point you scale down, and eventually you scale up again. Everything gets more tanky with levels, and while that means stuff takes longer it also means you are going to be a lot more save.

1h has it the easiest to go into harder difficulties faster, but is also the slowest style. Well, outside of 2h, which is even slower in the so called school girl arenas (225+). To keep you alive, you gotta cast all your protective spells and if you wanna pfudor as early as possible, weaken is your friend. Personally I was never caring enough to use other debilitating spells on top, but others made good use of them as well.

OFC isn't that important to all melees. At least not for me as a niten player. FUS RO DAH and Skyward Sword are much more important.

Hi, just like to know how do I unlock the speical skill Orbital Friendship Cannon.



As you can see I already got more than 21 pony figurines but the skill is still locked



Is there anything else I need to do to unlock this skill?

you need to have full overcharge pips to be able to fire it. For the rest, having the figurines is enough, it should appear within a day after getting the figurines.

1H rapier+shield gives you so much OC that you will keep bumping up against full constantly. It's slow, but with a good ethereal rapier and full set of power armor of slaughter it's not too bad I suppose. I make extensive use of silence, sleep, confuse and imperil when fighting [many] bosses [in the same encounter], really makes it a lot easier.

Do we know what the end-date is for this Isekai season?
I've been cut down to 1 Clear/day and I'm only at Floor 19 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

No, there has been no announced end date.

How much should I expect a good force shield to cost, since my current one is kinda crap for my level.

Also is it fine to disregard the other stats on a force shield sans block, or do they matter?

Just returned to the game after a decade > _ > currently level 120 and trying to save up for enough hath for auto cast slots... got any tips for earning credits?

The credit market is not pretty. All you can do is play on the highest possible difficulty that you can manage. Ever since the artifact change, they are worth so little, it's debatable how useful it is to sell them, but you can try that via the ingame "market" if you think it's worth. (not the shop, the market, where you can trade with other players)

At the very least the hath trade isn't THAT bad, but considering how much you earn nowadays as a normal player.. yeah. It's not pretty.

@killi8990

What happened with the artifacts? I just checked market prices....
I do recall very vaguely that:
1) artifact prices used to be much higher
2) The credit to hath ratio used to be lower (cheaper)


Quick Edit/Update: I finally figured out how to check my post history; I was last active in 2016; so not "quite" a decade" but close enough > _ >

In reality, only block matters. But if you want perfection and optimzation, you need STR DEX END as PABs.

Discord bot knows the prices:

I do recall very vaguely that:
1) artifact prices used to be much higher
2) The credit to hath ratio used to be lower (cheaper)

EDs were removed from artifacts:

- Artifacts no longer award Energy Drinks. Instead, Energy Drinks are now a donator award. Gold Star donators will automatically have 1 Energy Drink added to their inventory every day, assuming that they have visited HV in the last 30 days, while Catgirls get 2. (These are not added with the Dawn Event, but as part of a script run a few minutes past midnight, the same one that adds Soul Fragments for people with the perk.)

[...]

Specifically, these changes are there to eliminate "self-sustainable" play since you can no longer get stamina-boosting items just by playing.

Hath just sees more relative inflation because it's a currency people get for just existing and having things in the real world - compared to credits which are affected more by play habits.

EDs were removed from artifacts:

... so cheats + AI cheats has pushed the devs to push out a update that "prevents" perpetual and self-sustaining play style? Yikes...
Reminds me of the article I read that "AI is here and it's after more than just your job"... big OUFFF

I recently hit level 226 in persistent

Since hitting level 200+ and even more recently last few day them mobs have been hitting so hard that I am lucky if I make to the end of a arena level 225 or 200

I am set to nintendo difficulty and have not had much issue

Been focusing my stats in

strength
dexterity
agility
endurance

been increasing them 5 point per stat they are about 255-260

intelligence and wisdom are stuck at 140 (mainly for regen and potion use)

I use a sword/rapier trying to stick to "of the slaughter" but currently using a exquisite sword sword of balance with +end +agi as it has high crit and damage then what i was using before

have 24% overwhelming strikes on hit
65% counter-attack on block/parry

using exquisite buckler of warding and exquisite all plate/heavy (power 4 slots, two warding and two protection and one exquisite helmet of protection)

Been using health regen/mana regen draughts

use regen, protect and spark of life at all times (all upgraded or current max upgraded for spells)

have full points available for heavy, support for spells I use, potions and draughts and 1 handed weapons

But even as it stands I been getting hit by mobs for 2-3 k as of late and even with near 10k health I am getting critical or have spark activate too often now, i be luck if I can go two round of combat before I have to heal especially after 4+ mob.

I am not certain if I should change my play style or what as I have had no issue before hitting 200 now I ma going to struggle to get to the bar min 300 to use spell casting build (though the guides for all play styles are very vague aside from the fact that you need certain spell or abilities to play certain role types like sorcerer

As it stand I feel like I should be doing something or missing something so I am asking the experts what am I doing wrong and why am I now struggle so much now?

Is there any way of finding out how close I am to removing my Riddlemaster penalty? Came back to the game after several years and realized too late I should've been selecting multiple ponies per riddle. Ever since I noticed the penalty I've been extra careful but it's been almost a week now and I don't think I've gotten much wrong, and I still have the penalty

In the 200s is when you start to encounter some very highly upgraded monsters. Not only do they hit harder, they're also tankier and harder for you to hit. So it's normal that the game gets harder; you're not suddenly doing something wrong.

Looks pretty good. The one improvement I'd suggest is increasing wisdom to near your level so you get more mana to cast spells to help you stay alive. Int doesn't help melee styles except for giving you slightly more spirit points, so keep int low.

I use a sword/rapier trying to stick to "of the slaughter" but currently using a exquisite sword sword of balance with +end +agi as it has high crit and damage then what i was using before

65% counter-attack on block/parry

using exquisite buckler of warding and exquisite all plate/heavy (power 4 slots, two warding and two protection and one exquisite helmet of protection)

Equipment looks reasonable. You could try upgrading (in the Forge) block on your shield and parry on your weapon. It's not very expensive and helps you survive. Rapier tends to be preferred until level 310 because the armor penetration proc is very helpful against these strong monsters until you get fully spammable imperil. After that, shortsword is good again, about as good as rapier. Consider using voidseeker shard (especially if your weapon is not Item World level 10, but try to do that too) and infusions on your weapon before battle to give more hit chance and additional elemental strikes (max 2 elemental strikes + void strike on your weapon) for more damage.

Been using health regen/mana regen draughts

use regen, protect and spark of life at all times (all upgraded or current max upgraded for spells)

With the extra wis I suggested you get, cast haste, shadow veil, spirit shield, and heartseeker in addition to regen, protect, and spark of life. Once you get level 250, weaken becomes fully upgradable and spammable, so you could also use that on your enemies. 250 also comes with an upgrade to your block, giving a nice survivability boost. When you get super strong later on, you can drop haste and shadow veil to get more damage from counters. With spirit shield on, you'll also want to use spirit regen draughts as necessary.

have full points available for heavy, support for spells I use, potions and draughts and 1 handed weapons

But even as it stands I been getting hit by mobs for 2-3 k as of late and even with near 10k health I am getting critical or have spark activate too often now, i be luck if I can go two round of combat before I have to heal especially after 4+ mob.

As it stand I feel like I should be doing something or missing something so I am asking the experts what am I doing wrong and why am I now struggle so much now?

If it's still too hard, there's always to option to reduce difficulty. It could mean the difference between facing strong, very highly upgraded monsters versus facing weak, barely upgraded monsters. If you hang on until level 250, you'll get a nice defensive boost after upgrading the 1H block ability.
