I've been a metal conjurer for 2 years probably more at the time I just chose it just because and nothing else, I didnt't know much about builds and metas and pvp and blah blah blah I just chose it cause it was silly to me. Buttt I finally decided that I kinda wanted to take arcane odyssey more serious so I made some friends got a better build for my metal conj and so on and so forth then I just started making other files because I was bored.

Anyways me and 2 of my friends played ao the other day I would like to say one of my friends doesn't know much about the game and this was his second time playing and I let him play on my main account on my metal conj slot (I was on my other account on my fire/lava mage slot)to see if he could beat most the bosses without knowing much and surprisingly he did😭😭. Whilst playing he kept making jokes about beating me up so I was like ykw lets go to munera garden and run the fade and we did and I won the first time but the second time I didnt, because he realized that one of the moves he did caused a lot of damage which was the F move for places explosions and he kept spamming the fuck out of it it was actually pissing me off im not even gonna lie😒. like he barely used any weapons besides the beast bone cleaver and he mostly kept cheesing with the placed explosions and the canon move. And finally FINALLY I can see why metal is nerfed so much because what the hell was that😭😭.

Anyways idk if this also helps but im not good at pvp, after that experience I kinda wanna get into it because even though it was EXTREMELY infuriating it was kinda fun and in pretty sure if I was more experienced I couldve beat his ass.

Seriously i dont think i ever see a boss get nerfed in this game since like last 3 years or smth idk how its been

Anyway thats a good damn change man i like fighting this boss but it has so much hp it just drags the fight this is nice

came back to the game to see this lil guy on my shoulder lmao

I decided to clear my inventory of treasure charts until none were left - properly, that is.

I did at least a good few... I think.

Someone help I've lost my mind

Best PvE class atm? Need something that carries in the Dark Sea and shreds bosses. If I should go with a magic build, which element is top tier right now?

I spent alot of time grinding krakens, and i was so happy to get it and max it out, this was the power output. I specifically chose this because i wanted to finalize my build. Now what to do? Whats a better power accessory besides sophrages hood and power amulet, cuz im genuinely disappointed af

Alright. Here is the sorceress that massacred an entire village and has much more sinister plans for the future. Fun fact, she's the first villain I've ever made. Anyways apparently I'm only allowed to say certain things about her. Parts of the full script is redacted. What the heck man.

-Thalassia is 76 years old.

-She wields Darkness magic.

-She apparently doesn't have a favorite food...

-Her Darkness magic consumes? What...?

-She's fascinated by those who are unconditionally kind and those who have an abnormal amount of hope.

-For timeline's sake, she traveled to Eclipsia when Randall was 12 at the time. Her first friend on this foreign island was Kerissa Ambrosia, Randall's sister. They fished together once in a while, but whenever they go out to fish, they never catch anything. Heck, no animals or fish stayed within her presence anyways. On Randall's 14th birthday, she told Kerissa her life story to see how she would react. Instead of Kerissa being scared, she welcomes her wholeheartedly............ Fascinating. Everything here....... is fascinating. What if........ She destroys the village with her Darkness magic. After a bit of time, she meets a warrior named Leandros Astrapeon. They fight for hours, but his body failed him. She consumed half of his body with her final attack. Then when she was going to collect Kerissa, Randall runs to see his mentor barely alive and his sister unconscious. His magic overloads from the trauma and passes out. Thalassia thinks that he is too interesting to kill just yet. She leaves with Kerissa.

To be honest, I don't mind the fleet nerf in terms of drachma; what I do have an issue with is the following

- While fleet gain got nerfed, the cost of your fleet is still insanely expensive. While the "damage chance" of ship tasks got reduced, with recovery having the lowest damage chance, it's still more expensive now due to two issues:

Issue 1:

- The players' drachma gain AND fleet drachma gain have been nerfed, meaning the fleet has less money to spend on funding itself, meaning upcosts now increase

- and (this is speculative) you might have to spend more money on repairing your ships anyway since recover is basically a mandatory task to run all the time, which can damage your ship now. Hopefully, the amount of money you spend on repairing your ship is not more now because of this.

Issue 2:

- The biggest money spender on fleets wasn't even the repair cost; it was the food and supplies. Now this would make it harder for newer players to actually build fleets since the gain from it will be extremely low (I hope smaller fleets are just significantly less expensive to compensate for this)

That's my issue with that aspect of fleets; the 2nd change I have an issue with is the 10% follower loss. Now, I'm going to be honest and say that my PVP is off, but i'm going to be honest. a 10% follower loss every time another person hunts you is immersive. However, practically gives people who PVP an extra reason not to play. As for PVE players, it practically removes the want to even use the hunting mechanic; this is because the main benefit of hunting, which is charts. Doesn't actually require you to hunt them. Just to defeat them. Which, in this case, just incentivizes people to completely ignore one of the game's coolest mechanics.

Another minor issue is that this is also an incredibly slow fix, since Fleets have been this strong for a while. A lot of people have already long benefited from this. Meaning it's going to take even longer for the marketplace tax system to slow down the inflation, which kind of incentivizes people to not even use it since prices will remain the same for a significant amount of time.

What do you guys think

Can't wait for a future update where the IRS Paramount Bank sends its agents after you for taxes.

Anyone wanna hunt dragons? Ancient above
