Just like to wish the asylum community a happy thanksgiving! I hope everyone is doing well! And I hope everyone stuffs there fat faces with some good grub!
In the past year is when this game really took over my life. You might be thinking Arma 3, however, it's not. Some of you guys may have heard of it but its a very interesting game called Trove. In Trove you can do many things like complete dungeons, get better gear, and complete shadow towers. Some people says that this game looks like minecraft. Those people are very correct, it does. It is very different in many ways.
The main thing in this game Trove is to do dungeons. This can get very boring and this is why people just follow a big group of people that are doing the same thing but just sit at the top of the dungeon and afk, this is called leeching. Doing this can level you up quickly by not doing anything. You get xp, item drops, and gem boxes from completing dungeons. The bad thing is when you leech, you probably don't go down to the dungeon to collect the gear that the chest drops. However, the gem box goes directly into your inventory. There are different worlds in the game called ubers. In these uber worlds, you can go to the water dimension, lava dimension, and air dimension. The main goal is to go to the highest uber world and go to the different worlds to collect gems so you can get a better power rank to achieve the next uber world.
Enchanting your gear is pretty difficult in this game. The way gear progression is green, blue, rare, legendary, shadow, radiant, and stellar! Getting to stellar is very hard, especially if you don't put time and dedication into this game as you would Black Desert Online. What you have to do to get stellar gear is first getting a shadow item which drops from dungeons. Then you have to get that to 5 stars by enchanting it in the forge. Once you get it to 5 stars, you will need to use Eye of Qbulu and even more flux. Once you achieve Shadow level 2, you will again need 5 stars but this time, instead of just the Eye of Qbulus, you will be a forged soul which can be obtained by putting shadow items in the loot collector. If the shadow item is lv 4 and you put in the loot collector, you will get a quad forged shadow soul. But only for lv 3, you will need 2 twice forged shadow souls, lv 4 you will need thrice forged shadow souls, and for 5 you will need quad forged shadow souls. Now you are probably thinking, what do I do when I achieve this amazing goal? Well, you will need to get the ultimate penta forged shadow soul! This is obtained by getting a shadow level 5 item and putting it in the loot collector. You will have to do this process many times to get a radiant item. Once you get radiant, you do the same old 5 stars enchanting then you will need a forged radiant soul! Those are very expensive or you could do this whole process and enchant your gear or just buy them from the market place which would be around 6k I believe. Once you get 5 stars on the radiant, you will need the radiant souls and purifying flames. Then once you have those 2 items, you have achieved getting a stellar item!
Shadow towers are a really good implement to the game itself. Doing dungeons can really get boring at times so then you could get a group of 8 friends and go to town on this shadow tower! Only downside to this is that you can only do this once a week. On Mondays 7 am, it will reset. However, if you have enough power rank to go to the harder difficult within the shadow tower, you will get a lot of loot. To get this loot, you will need to complete certain uber dungeons to obtain keys. Harder uber worlds give out harder shadow tower key shards to make a shadow tower key with. With this key, you can unlock the chest after each boss and that will drop a lot of loot. Now, you will be asking, isnt that chest the same as the regular uber worlds? No, its not. The drop rate for better items is increased. You might think to yourself that this grinding to get key shards to get better loot will be a big waste of time. Again, no its not. Reason why is because once you complete all levels of the shadow tower, you get souls and lunar souls for the last one. Three lunar souls give you a chance of getting a stellar empowered gem. Empowered gem is where most of your power rank comes from along with regular high leveled gems.
This game can be very grindy but once you get max level, it will get fun as you can help other people out with dungeons and get better mounts! Completing dungeons, getting better gear, and completing those shadow towers every week can get you this really fast!
Although it's not yet over, I would like to thank @Survivalizer @Reapered @Norwegianviking @Mitch (IFRIT) @Sugarfoot @Sandwich @Smarty @Roicesb @Rodrigo @Olio & everyone else who gave their weekend away (and probably the next one) to make this event happen. They put up with a lot of shit and most of us don't realize how big of a task organizing such an event is. I appreciated this event a lot and there were a lot of amazing moments. Can't wait for the finals!
Please keep the thread free of any flaming, these guys put in a lot of work for us and I don't think this is the place to talk about issues that happened within gang wars.
I find it amazing how it united us all - never seen so many people in one channel (60+) (aside from TS public)
We have decided you must play under the name you signed up as.
So for example, I would play under the name [FSM] Reapered.
This is to help us know who's making the big plays and to prevent teams from naming themselves Bot 1, Bot 2 etc..
Hope you guys have a fun gang wars and good luck to everybody!
