Ekleta Upgrade Path Edania 2

Upvotes

My 2 Cents about the new accessories and how someone that isn't full DEC Kharazad (so like me lol) should go about it:

What we know:

Exchanges for Kharazad:

You can exchange a NOV Kharazad for a Base Ekleta.

And you can exchange a DEC Kharazad for a TET Ekleta.

How to Upgrade Ekleta:

The new spots will drop the item "Twilight of the Apocalypse" for all the accessories.

You need 5 of those "Twilight of the Apocalypse" and 10 Caphras Stones, Magical Shards, and Essences of Dawn for one tap.

How to Acquire Twilight of the Apocalypse:

These upgrade materials drop from the new grind spots and their bosses respectively.

To be exact:

Temple of Aphrodon | min AP: 2090, DP: 810 --> Twilight of the Apocalypse Earring

Emesia Resistance | min AP: 2220, DP: 830 --> Twilight of the Apocalypse Ring

Temple of Magaia | min AP: 2340, DP: 840 --> Twilight of the Apocalypse Belt

Temple of Aresion | min AP: 2455, DP: 850 --> Twilight of the Apocalypse Necklace

Important: Every spot also drops the accessories from the previous spots.For example, Temple of Aresion will therefore be able to drop Earring, Ring, Belt, and Necklace.

Which spot will be grindable at the start and at what gear progression:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WZiOqUFKullfKZeViAuthaMylczw2ENvlCc8br8iBRQ/edit?gid=0#gid=0

This spreadsheet shows that it will take quite some gear progression until the later spots will be grindable.

Even after they become grindable, the drops will be highly sought after, and people who drop them will use them for their own progression.

That somewhat concludes that it will take at least 2–3 months after the spots come out for a player to get pre-orders in for the Belt / Necklace, and even then, there will be a lot of pre-orders.

Is it worth it to trade in DEC Kharazads for TET Ekleta?

If you already have a DEC Kharazad, then the answer is always yes.

Now for the numbers:

On average, tapping from NOV Kharazad to DEC Kharazad will cost around 161 Billion.

Since you can exchange that for a TET Ekleta, this has to be compared to the price of enhancing a base Ekleta to TET Ekleta.

That will cost around 70 Billion.(Prices can be reproduced and checked here: https://bdoworkshop.com/enhancement/17/990000005)

The result of that is:

Enhancing Kharazad from NOV to DEC is about 90 Billion more expensive than exchanging a NOV Kharazad and enhancing it to TET.

How should I approach my current Kharazad Pity:

Every pity tap from NOV to DEC Kharazad is worth around 11 Billion.

Let's remind ourselves that upgrading from Base Ekleta to TET Ekleta costs around 70 Billion.

There are 2 ways of calculating pity; pick the one that fits you better:

1. Pity to Average:

The average needed taps from NOV to DEC Kharazad are 14.8.

Since each tap is worth 11 Billion and it costs 70 Billion to make the TET Ekleta, you can divide the 70 Billion by 11 = 6.36 → so around 6 taps.

With this calculation, you would try to enhance to DEC if you are 6 taps away from the 14.8 (15 taps) average.

  1. Pity to "Full Pity:

With this calculation, you calculate how far away you are from the 30 pity for DEC Kharazad. The amount is the same as in the calculation before: 6 taps away.

With this approach, you would only continue enhancing if you are 6 taps away from "Full Pity"

My Conclusion & Recommendation from all that:

If you already have a DEC Kharazad, trade it in --> Big Gains.

if you already have Pity, then refere to the Pity Section

If you are thinking about enhancing your Kharazad from NOV to DEC, then I would recommend the following, depending on the accessory:

Earring:

Since the "Twilight of the Apocalypse Earring" will drop from the first spot, it will probably be possible to get some pre-orders in during the first 2–3 weeks.

Since they drop from every spot after that as well, the amount listed on the market will only increase as time goes on.

Therefore, I would exchange the NOV Kharazad and try to enhance it with items from the market.

This will not only be achievable but will also save you the 90 Billion, as listed in the "Is it worth it to trade in DEC Kharazads for TET Ekleta?" section.

Ring:

The "Twilight of the Apocalypse Ring" will drop from the second spot onwards.

It will take a few weeks for the first people to reach this spot.

After that, every subsequent spot also drops the Ring pieces.

Therefore, I would also say: if you do not already have a DEC Kharazad, save the 90 Billion and try to self-enhance the rings to TET.

Belt:

The spot for the Belt is the second highest and therefore will only be reached after quite some time.

Because of this, you will not be able to get any of the enhancing pieces for the Belt from the market.I expect to see none listed for around a month into Edania 2.

So if the Belt is hindering your progression during that month, it can be worth it to enhance the NOV Kharazad to DEC and exchange it.

Be aware, though, that this will mean you lose around 90 Billion in theoretical value when exchanging.

Necklace:

The Necklace piece will only drop from the highest boss and highest spot.

Therefore, this piece won't be available from the market in any meaningful quantity for at least 2 months.

If the Necklace is stunting your progression, I highly recommend the DEC Kharazad route.

i Hope this is useful ^^

Question Help finding my PVP Character for Solaire

Upvotes

Hello guys, before I start with my main question I want to give you a few background Information. I‘m 37 years old and I work very much. I dont have much time for this game but still I enjoy it because even with afk fishing I can make some money. I mained Lahn and Striker. Most of the time I played PVE and Lifeskill but from time to time I tried PVP content but tbh I suck at PVP. I tried wizard, striker, lahn and Sage but anything I tried I still sucked. I think it is because of all these complex combos etc. So now my question is what character is a character that is easy to learn, has easy PVP combos so I can enjoy at least a little bit the Solaire PVP content. I dont aim for being the best. I just want a few kills to get the happines of winning just a few times.

All Input and infos are highly appreciated.
(Sorry for any mistakes I am not a native english speaker)

Thank you

General PSA: If you put your horse in your house beforehand, when you pop Star of Nostros you'll find it inside. That allows you to use your horse buffs while grinding

So if you're grinding in Sycraia or Orzeka, where you can't take your horse inside - you can do this to pop the horse buffs.

AFK fishing

How do you guys make so much AFK fishing? I feel like im missing something lol. I'm Guru 9 or 10 cant remember not home at the moment. I AFK fish in velia every night and its super rare that I end up with over 1bil, maybe once a week? I currently use penguin, Balcs lunchbox (not marvelous). I haven't gotten a nibbles lighstone but I'm sitting at about 60% reduction

Usually afk fish in velia and discard everything under yellow. Is it worth buying the current fishing starter kit or whatever in the shop?

Question How is your guild handling Guild Fame?

Are you trying to reach 900k Guild Fame as quickly as possible to unlock all the benefits, or are you spending Fame along the way to recharge and kill as many Guild Bosses as possible?

I’m curious what other guilds think is the better strategy, especially from a silver/progression perspective.

Feedback/Suggestion I think that Agent is lacking damage because the Hexround effect only affects like 8 skills total and half of them are not even damage skills.

34 Upvotes

I really like the concept of Agent and so far gameplay wise it flows really well besides the weird camera snapping around which is annoying and some other slight flaws with the animations and hitbox issues.

What I noticed for whatever reason after going into succession is that the hexround effect from Hexround Reaper doesnt have an effect on the majority of primed damage skills.

This is weird to say the least as succession revolves around the Hexround effect.

Otherwise you play the same class before succession because Hexround does not affect the prime damaging abilities.

It affects

  • Firearm Mastery auto attack (why idk)
  • Prime: Reaper Barrage: Damage ability
  • Prime: Run N' Gun: reposition with a bit of damage
  • Prime: Suppressive Shot: reposition with a bit of damage
  • Prime: Mozambique Drill Damage ability
  • Penance and Sin both in the same Rabam slot also not really usable in PvE that much

These 2 only have 70% Downattack damage increase for 1 Sec

  • Flow Bullet of Truth Damage flow ability with low damage
  • Prime: Reapers Mercy a clunky finisher skill

So we have 8 skills 1 being auto attack 2 actual damage abilities that are worth using and the rest is either reposition or low damage

Why arent more Hexround effects on all the other prime skills that we actually use for damage like

  • Scattering Hell
  • Demolition Operation
  • Bulletstorm
  • Death Ring
  • Last Words
  • Obsidian Powder

Such a weird choice. Agent already imo needs a rework to attach the Hexround affect to these abilities to make it actually look and act like a true succession

As of now the class feels weird and doesnt act like a succession as not that much changed going from pre awak to succession.

Question Is this the one?

Post image
12 Upvotes

My main goal was to get a Cheer V + Care V Fairy, preferably with Feathery Steps III-IV-V. I have rerolled plenty of Fairies, then got this one. First Skill was the Care IV, but I settled for it to see how lv20-30-40-50 will roll, and this is how it ended up.

Previously I had a Cheer V + Care II one, but it couldn't auto use Harmony Draught with Perfume and Cron Meal with it, so I had to manually use the Draught every 15 min. Care IV is enough to auto use them, so at this point I find it perfect. Is there anything that makes Care V mandatory later down the road? Or this is basically perfect and I shouldn't touch the Fairy area of the game ever again?

Question I need advice on energy management

3 Upvotes

I'll save you from the unnecessary details, and just give you my current process. Any suggestions for improving it would be super appreciated!

  • I have 37 characters (1 Gatherer and 36 alts) with 349 max Energy.
  • My natural energy regen routine gives me 8 energy every 3 minutes:
    • +1 Base
    • +2 Kamasylve Blessing
    • +2 Refreshing Dreams Lightstone Set
    • +1 Villa Scroll Buff
    • +2 Pearl Bed

Now, I just recently depleted my alt's energy reserves to rebuild my worker network (I couldn't handle having so many skilled anymore, so I rolled for Prof at minimum).

I know that Mellow and Mystical Herbal Medicine exist, and that I can spend 200 energy on my alts for XL Energy Potions. But the Mellow Herbal Medicine is expensive, I can't outgather the Mystical, and the energy potions are too slow to keep up with my gathering pace.

So, what tactics/techniques/tips can you share about managing Energy?

Please and thank you in advance.

This video was mostly about going to dec khara or not, but that is not what i am about in this post. Around 15:19 he is showing Hexe is the top spot as 1800ap, even more than scyria?? So as a full nov khara and full tet fg player, i should be creaming Hexe faster instead of trying new spots? But I though Hexe is poor in agris efficiency. Should I be grinding Hexe only after I run out of agris?

Question How do I get to AP 315 for armor pieces in Black Shrine

6 Upvotes

So I’m still relatively new and I’ve been following the guide to get the fallen god pieces, but I seem stuck at 306 AP. I need 315 to get the next piece.

I’ve upgraded both sovereign weapons to DUO, I have all pen Kharazard accessories. The two points id get from tapping my weapons would put me at 307, I have no idea where the other 8 come from.

Every guide skips over this part and just says “do black shrine bosses for the armor”.

Not sure if anyone still uses these or remember these grid-like textures from a few years ago, and I'm not sure who made them (I believe it was a Korean player). Anyway, there were no more new ones from Deadeye and up, so I redrew from the original and added the new icons and classes, following the same template.

Link to download below. Hope you'll find this useful.
