Recently, Rabbit’s Revenge Event in New World continued. Players are farming rabbits for several reasons. Maybe it’s because you get Corrupted Rabbit Mask and Storage chests from it, or maybe you just want to farm rabbits for Daily Gypsum, or maybe you’re farming for activity cards.

To participate in this event, we need to farm 20 rabbits each time. But there are actually some relatively easy ways to do it. If you are interested in raising rabbits quickly at the beginning of the event. Some players may misunderstand that there are only a few places on the map that are really worth farming rabbits. 

We can actually see where all the rabbits are, which shows that there are actually more areas for us to farm rabbits than you might expect. I just want to show you something that I think is really nice, really fast, simple and easy to implement without too much effort. So you need to have some place to farm. Then I’ll also show you some more stuff that I think works just as well.

Brimstone

The first location is right here between Brimstone and Shattered Mountain. There is Crow’s Nest there at the moment, so players can easily find it. Around the corner, you can run a very simple loop here. 

I’m running it while other people are farming it, but I can still find a lot of rabbits. They basically respawn when you reach the end of the loop. And there are two fast travel locations near you.

So if you realize this loop is not that good. Now I can take a quick look at the first actual location and move on to the next location from there. If you participated in Elite Chest Run event, this is also something you can quickly complete before the Elite Chest Run begins.

Shattered Mountain

You can do the same east of Shattered Mountain. We also have a longer route that is also easily farmable by multiple people. Honestly, you can roam east first. I like to pitch a tent in the middle. 

Here you’ll find a lot of bunnies as well as some other high-level assets that come together nicely along the way, plus some Starmetal and stuff like that. So if you’re looking for tier 5 material and some tier 4 material here, it’s generally a useful place to be.

Great Cleave

You can land in the fast travel spot next to the first group of bunnies. We can do so many loops, there will be a lot of people running through it. You can easily run four or five people on this loop, and the wide Prismabloom surrounding the route is another nice added bonus. 

If you want to choose it, there are also many wonderful resources here. I especially love finding this place. Because there are wolves here that will shed thick hides.

There are also tons of Soul Motes that you can hang out with. So it’s really not a terrible place to be, especially on this route. I’d like to point out that despite the addition of a lot of rabbits, there are still more rabbits than shown on the map, so follow your radar. 

What I do is I like to walk around with tracking enabled so I can see where I’m going and where Motes are relative to where the bunnies spawn, but also look at the radar on the screen to make sure I see that there may not be any bunny nodes showing nearby or maybe not at the exact location where the nodes are showing.

Edengrove Boar Farm

You can see that there is also a rabbit trail here, and this trail is in the area where all Strange Boar is. If you get a Skinning activity card or collect the Tier 5 resource Nose activity card, that’s a really nice advantage, and you can use them with Skinning. If you’re down there, pick up some bunnies while you’re there, anyway.

First Light

What started off as First Light is now this close to town and often far away. Because it’s close to town, but the second spot here is basically a trail full of rabbits, and there isn’t one on the map. But it’s full of rabbits, so you can go down the road. 

Then near Cutlass keys, that’s also a big quick hotspot. I rarely find people who can find more than one rabbit. Usually you can catch at least a few there. Also, the one to the east is pretty good. If you’re doing a Faction Control Mission or Infection Prevention event.

Reekwater

You come up from the city and follow this road all the way around here, along the way you’ll find a lot of rabbits, again, you’ll have a relatively comprehensive collection at the far south, but the rabbits here will be more few. So that’s probably why not as many people go there. 

But it’s near a fast travel point, and there are many other nice resources nearby. For example, you can do some PVP missions here to get some New World Coins. So there are plenty of other resources here, and for those reasons, the place is worth farming too. You just pick up the rabbits along with them.

Rabbit Island

In general, Rabbit Island is probably the place with the highest concentration of rabbits. But it’s not the best farm location so far. Because there are too many people involved compared to other places. Once you get around it, it’s almost fast enough to respond, just not enough for the rabbit.

All in all, there are many places to Farm Corrupted Rabbits. Players can choose the most suitable place according to their game habits to farm numerous rabbits in order to get rich gold coins for themselves. Hopefully, this guide will help players understand this more. Good luck.

At the start of this Path of Exile 3.21 league, I finished my Atlas with Explosive Trap Trickster build, collected all Void gems, and defeated most of the non-uber bosses.

Skill Itself And damage

Let’s see what we got in terms of damage. Our skill of choice is Explosive Trap. All explosions can hit the same enemy, which is the source of our DPS and the amount of traps. When you look at Path of Building, you can set how many explosions hit the target. This is the new setup, thanks to the community for seeing this.

I set it to Average Explosions since most enemies have a small hitbox. The build now works with 4 Curses thanks to Anathema’s unique Moonstone Ring. Our Curse is to increase Flammability, which will reduce the enemy’s Fire Resistance.

We apply this Curse through an Arcanist Brand button. Player can even use Assassin’s Mark, which will increase the critical chance the target receives. We can easily generate energy and Frenzy charges if our enemies trigger the trap.

We also added Trickster for an extra 2 max Frenzy charges. This way we can have 5 Frenzy charges, and we pair it with Charged Traps Support to increase our Trap Throwing Speed as fast as possible. For those who don’t like gem swapping, this may be bad news. You’ll need gem swaps to deal with tougher bosses.

Mana Problem

Another big problem with builds is that traps waste too much mana. So we have to use Mana Flasks and Enduring Mod. And save POE Currency as much as possible during Mana Flasks cast effect. This is also why there are no uber boss kills now, because we can’t maintain Mana Flasks, and if we don’t have mana, we run out of mana quickly and can’t do damage.

Defensives

On defense: Because we chose Trickster. So we get a very interesting node where one step forward will slow down the enemy’s movement speed. If they paired us with Summon Skitterbots, the enemies would move like snails, which would also give us plenty of time to react.

It’s also worth mentioning that you don’t have to worry about Freeze and Chill damage, it also increases your base movement speed. At the same time, Trickster also has a loop in Defensive Layers.

Every 5 seconds we take less damage from hits and another 5 seconds we get less damage from damage over time effects. You can also tank almost anything if your damage isn’t going up, so when you get hit and the big damage reduction buff goes up, you’re happy.

You can also use Grace Aura to increase Evasion rating, so we hardly die from monsters’ normal attacks or projectiles. Because we have Grace's blessing, we can also use Ghost Dance Keystone. When we take a hit, we restore 3% of our Evasion rating as Energy Shield, and we can do this 3 times in a row before stacks recharge.

From now on, we’ll use Immortal Call as our Guard Skill and cast it when we take damage. We use Craft Body Armours, so we can convert 12% of physical damage to elemental damage.

Not too much, but enough for us to survive even against large physical attacks like that Shaper Slam. Since we have almost an 80% chance of avoiding attacks, I’m not too worried about physical damage. Because we’re just dodging attacks, but if we get hit, other layers of defense come in handy so we can recover easily.

Items And Crucible tree

There are a few more important things that are required in the build. Things like your Weapons and Shields, +1 Fire or Physical Spells, Skill Gems, Spell Rrit, Spell Damage or Fire Damage. For Crucible tree a little of extra energy shield and distribution guarantees this gives us a bit of resistance. Also requires +1 Fire or physical damage and skill gems on your Amulet.

We are going to kill enemies by using High Voltage to increase crit. Since we’re using Summon Skitterbots, the damage done to enemies also ramps up quickly. With Anathema’s unique Moonstone Ring, we can use 4 Curses because our Crucible tree has 4 Power charges, which also gives us an Int and a little Energy shield.

Implicits

You can craft Implicits with Eldritch Currency spam until you get the following. Increases the mana retention efficiency of your skills at your helm, you need at least 8% otherwise you can’t use your Auras. Another mod is to add Flammability effect, whether there is a unique enemy or Pinnacle Bosses nearby. The difference is small, so don’t worry too much.

On your body armor, Zealotry adds Aura effect and adds Non-Curse Auras effect. You can use the buff Endurance charges Mod every 10 seconds if there is a unique enemy nearby. If you get it, it increases your physical relief.

Your Trap Throwing Speed and another mod is Spell Suppression Chance, where you can use Fire Exposure that causes hits. Gain physical damage on your boots as additional fire damage, which will increase your critical strike chance against enemies. I’d also like to highlight something on Passive tree that is required for construction.

Passive Tree

We use eight passive Cluster Jewels with Iron Breaker, Battle-Hardened, and Force Multiplier, including Medium Cluster Jewels with Accidental Break and Careful Handling and Aura Cluster Jewels with Sublime Form. The rest of Jewels are rare, have Life and Critical Strike Multiplier, and have Fire skills and Resistance.

Ascendancy

We’re using Trickster as our advantage in the first place, which will increase your movement speed, so you can move faster and throw traps faster. But this node we only get more damage part, and others will not deal damage to us, because the trap kills the enemy and not us.

Outro

All in all, Explosive Trap Trickster really improved my game experience in the early stages of Path of Exile 3.21 league. If you have any opinions on this build, welcome to discuss it in the community and hope you can play smoothly.

With the release of Lost Ark’s April patch, Brelshaza hard mode and related new Ancient gear will also follow, and this patch has also made players look forward to it.

At the same time, this patch will also introduce new guardian raid tasks, powerful Sidereal gear and also open Fortunespire tier three. Of course, there will still be rich cosmetics that players have been waiting for in this update.

Players can craft high-quality Ancient gear by obtaining enough rare materials in this hard mode of Brelshaza legion raid. However, players must first reach item level 1540 and equip a complete set of Relic gear from Phantom Legion Commander raid mission before continuing to make new Ancient gear.

Or you can get Ancient accessories by participating in Brelshaza Hard, South Vern chaos dungeons in despair level one and two, Proving Grounds, and the new Hanumatan guardian raid.

At the same time, the first 25 floors of Fortunespire tier three have all been opened, starting from item level 1490 to item level 1530 on the highest floor. Additionally, there will be a Sweet Sugarpetal festival running from April 12th to May 10th where players have the chance to win a ‘Sweet Cake headwear selection chest’, among other rewards.

This Lost Ark April update will start from March 12 at 6am PDT / 9am EDT / 2pm BST / 3pm CEST, and it will also suspend the server for about 6 hours. Here is the full description of the patch for this update.

Brelshaza Hard Mode

With this update, Phantom Legion Commander will return in a more difficult 8-player Legion Raid mode. As the difficulty increases, the rewards will increase accordingly, and players can obtain rare materials for making Ancient gear. However, players who want to participate in Brelshaza Hard Mode also need certain conditions:

• Item Level 1540 for Gates 1 and 2
• Item Level 1550 for Gates 3 and 4
• Item Level 1560 for Gates 5 and 6

Hanumatan Guardian Raid

Anikka has always regarded as a very sacred existence as solar Guardian Hanumatan. Therefore, Anikka’s martial artists also strengthened a new martial arts system based on Hanumatan’s behavior.

This set of martial arts exerted great power as early as 500 years ago in the middle of Chain War. But due to the chaotic changes of Arkesia affecting Hanumatan, it also gradually awakened from its slumber.

Players who want to challenge Hanumatan Guardian Raid need to reach item level 1540 first. Like Brelshaza Hard Mode, the player can obtain a series of Ancient accessories by successfully killing Guardian’s soul. Like other Level 6 Guardian Raids quests, players are likely to pick up Legendary Galewind Rune that drops during the fight.

Fortunespire

I will reward players with a first pass reward in each tier of Fortunespire. Such as the new Masterpiece, Skill Point Potion, Achievements or Lost Ark Gold and so on. Other rewards, such as honing materials, can also be obtained if the player clears the level again later on the same level.

Among them, only the first customs clearance reward is bound by Roster, while other pass rewards are bound by the player’s role. It will gradually open the last 25 floors of Fortunespire during future updates. There are also some requirements for players to enter Fortunespire:

• Floors 1 – 5: 1490
• Floors 6 – 10: 1500
• Floors 11 – 15: 1510
• Floors 16 – 20: 1520
• Floors 21 – 25: 1530

Sidereal Weapons And Quests

Sidereal Weapons are a brand new piece of equipment that came out of Lost Ark update. Players can obtain it in the relevant questline after reaching item level 1520.

The player’s questline will begin by finding ‘Sidereal: Galatur’s Will’ item. Players will find dropped items after completing Brelshaza Legion Raid on Normal or Hardmode, which players can use to trigger a new questline.

At the same time, it has added two new materials to upgrade Sidereal Weapons, namely Sidereal Energy and Romantic Ingredient Kits. Romantic Ingredient Kits players can make use of the trade skills in Stronghold.

Sidereal Unity combines your weapons and skills to become even more powerful. Each sidereal will have its own different skill effects. Sidereal Unity is available for free when players upgrade their Sidereal Weapon to level 6 for the first time. After that, if you want to change again, you need Stones of Chaos.

Sweet Sugarpetal Festival Event

This Sweet Sugarpetal Festival Event will start with Lopang Corporation Manager Hytino needing help. Players need to find and open relevant quest lines in the principal cities in the game.

As players complete daily Una missions in special events, players can receive a variety of rich rewards. Una’s reputation points will also increase as players participate in more activities.

They will hold this event from April 12th to May 10th, and the event prizes are very rich, whether it is cosmetics such as Sweet Cake Headwear Selection Chest, Leapstones, or Relic Rapport Selection Chest. They are all waiting for you to get. So don’t forget to participate in the event on time.

Store Updates

The store update also brings new cosmetics to players. They are Petrania from the land of darkness and chaos, and Stronghold cleaning, which is very suitable for spring. A ‘Bonus Room’ section has also been added. They automatically given it to the player as a reward whenever the player acquires a series of items in the shop.

Players can also find out more about the rest of the update on the official Lost Ark website. Including quality of life adjustments, some bug fixes, and new events for some armor sets.

The above is all the information I have on Lost Ark April update patch. I hope these can help you understand the game mechanics after the update, so that you can have a better start when you start the game. The important thing is, don’t forget to participate in the event on time!

Today we’ll be discussing one of the biggest updates made to the Garden of Eyes Mod in Elden Ring’s latest patch. Also, the main thing we’ve been talking about for the past few months is now our ability to add entirely new Movesets instead of replacing Movesets, and that’s done now.

Thanks to the tools developed to help. But we still want to modify all Movesets we have done, although this is still just the tip of the iceberg. In the meantime, we’ll show you everything in the latest update. Without further ado, let’s start now.

Blasphemous Claw

One of the weapons we’re rebuilding from scratch right now is the Blasphemous Claw. In the past, due to the problem of Root Motion, Claw could not attack along the correct trajectory, but would slide in a strange trajectory. So we decided to completely redo the weapon.

First, we gave it an accurate Trail. So you can see Claws you’re actually attacking and their trail as you attack. We also added the Claw Moveset to the one hand animation. But the main part is when you use both hands, you see the power you can channel the horror. When you wield them into hand mode, you’ll have the idle animation of the character walking.

We’ve also completely reworked the animations, and we’ve also balanced some of the attacks. And there is a big difference. It looks more refined. It looks more player-friendly now, and it looks even better.

Moon’s Wrath

Next up is something we discussed earlier, which is Moon’s Wrath weapon. It’s one of the first Whoppers custom perks we want to use in Elden Ring. It is also Hybrid weapon of Carian Piercer, Daggers, Hammer.

It harnesses the power of Glintstone Sorceries magic. You can actually boost its weapon damage effects in there, and it’ll extend the hitbox of the attack, which gives it a really cool lightsaber effect. Of course, we also implemented the shapeshifting attack in Bloodborne. It’s a very interesting weapon. We also made Godslayer’s Greatsword before, and we created a Godskin replica of it called Black Flame Greatsword.

Now there’s a lot of connection between Godslayer and Godskin, including Fire Monks part that was previously dumped on them. So they decided to create a replica of the weapon, which has a whole new weapon art, and we also used Gael Moveset.

Then we have another new weapon made by Roaring Forge, Whirlwind. This is an Ornamental Straight Sword that can even channel the power of storms. When you use weapon art, it boosts weapon damage with the ultimate power of wind. You’ll have a very short 10-second buff, pounding enemies that spawn Storm Blades.

Abundance Twinblade

Next we also improved Abundance Twinblade. The previous animations were choppy too, and it was pretty long for Ash of War’s one-on-one attacks. So we split them into two different animations. If you get another input at this point, it will continue to attack. We’ve also fixed the animations to be more friendly.

We also changed the ending, so it doesn’t spawn boomerangs when attacking. This is also a special weapon we created for Lordsworn’s Greatsword, with every aspect of Rune Arc in mind. They disappear and appear, like the cunning Knight, which is also good news for faith-building.

We’ve returned Golden Order Greatsword and Illinois since we had to replace them with other weapons earlier. But now we can actually separate Moveset. Now they are actually two separate weapons that you can use in the mod.

Bloodborne’s Gun

Finally, we have a new pistol, Bloodborne’s gun, which is a carrier-themed pistol. You can use it for the gun match mechanism to get the most out of it. We also have another variant of it, a corrupt patch with red Glintstone.

So now just to let you know this is a very early weapon and what you see has changed a lot since then. But you can still look forward to it. All of these players are now in early access to Garden of Eyes Mod which gives you access to over 20 new weapons, 30 types of armor, flying mounts and many other great mods and overhaul mods. I believe that everyone likes to play.

As I said, players are currently in early access. But once developed, they will be released for free. At the same time, I will continue to pay attention to the follow-up content of Garden of Eyes Mod. If you want to experience it too, don’t forget to hurry up and get involved. Hope this information will help you.

In addition, it is worth noting that players still need to build characters and bring relevant equipment in advance before starting the game. You can also do it with enough Elden Ring Runes. You can also get 5% off with code "CSCCA" at IGGM.com. Come and try it.

Just now, BioWare’s free MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic released the latest patch 7.2.1. Among them, the most important update of this patch is to upgrade the game to be suitable for 64-bit clients. This new upgrade is a new leap in overall game performance and content, and at the same time, it has a very significant impact on the future development of the game.

It’s been 11 years since BioWare launched Star Wars: The Old Republic. The hardware side of the game hasn’t changed much during this time. But for a long-running game like Star Wars: The Old Republic to survive and attract more players, it will have to undergo major upgrades to accommodate new technologies.

This update is the same as before, not only making a number of balance changes but also making changes to the long-maligned economy system in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

In fact, this new upgrade is undoubtedly a good sign for the game to continue to develop, because it is the first step for BioWare to invest heavily in it and prepare for more new content. Although it is inevitable that there will be some controversial changes in the update. But most players are very happy to see the recent development of The Old Republic.

In fact, Star Wars: The Old Republic and other long-standing MMORPGs have similar common problems. Although major revisions and updates have been carried out, it is inevitable to gradually show the disadvantages of aging.

But the latest SWTOR’s Legacy of Sith expansion has been improved for this series of problems. It completely redesigned the game’s UI and transformed the major highlight of the game into a changeable “combat styles” system to provide players with a high degree of freedom to switch to other weapon types at any time.

But they have not changed the essence of the problem. SWTOR has undergone countless changes, whether it is multiple iterations of its talent trees, several improvements in Galactic Seasons, or system balance changes, but the aging technology behind the game has always been is the real factor hindering its development.

The biggest problem with Star Wars: The Old Republic 32-bit client is that players can only use no more than 4GB of RAM. If it is really in 2000, of course there is no problem. But at the moment, more than 51% of players need more than 16GB of memory, and 22% of players need at least 8GB or more of memory.

This means that many items in Star Wars: The Old Republic, including various equipment and characters, cannot be used properly by numerous players. Because this equipment and characters will quickly fill up all memory. Therefore, the player’s game experience is also very bad. This update to the 64-bit client effectively solved this problem and also paved the way for the next large number of updates.

It opened a large-scale open world PVP battlefield in the new world system. But with a more optimized client and server, players who love PVP may usher in a larger theater and more exquisite content.

The game can display new equipment effects and more exquisite scenes according to the operation method, which is unmatched by 32-bit clients. Even if there are other changes after the update, players will indeed get some benefits through this update.

SWTOR’s new patch 7.2.1 wants to solve the current dilemma by introducing a 64-bit client, and it also represents the first step forward for SWTOR during the period when the upgraded client is running on the public test server. Compared to the 32-bit client’s mere 4GB of memory, the 64-bit client allows almost unlimited scenarios for players to access.

The developers are also finally able to use more detailed techniques to create more complex scenarios. The upgrade also opens the door to other aspects of the design. Because Elder Scrolls Online also uses SWTOR’s Hero Engine, with the upgrade of the 64-bit client, it also brings a significant performance improvement.

Of course, in addition to upgrading the client this time, this new SWTOR patch also restarts Season 4 of Galactic Seasons. Players can use this to get many new rewards, including rich SWTOR Credits and some new strongholds on Mek-Sha.

At the same time, the long-awaited second season of PVP has also started. This time, some content in PVP has been adjusted, and these adjustments will also help players win the game more easily and get rewards.

But the change of the game’s credit economy has aroused heated discussions among players in the game community. Because even Quick Travel now requires up to 5000 SWTOR Credits. Although this adjustment is a move made by the developer in response to the rampant inflation of the game. But many players believe that this move will dissuade many new players, and it has little effect on the rich people in the game.

Although SWTOR is only a MMORPG, the game still has a wealth of game content suitable for single players. The eight branch mission lines are suitable for different players. Hopefully players will find something they like in the latest patch 7.2.1 while they wait for the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

The above is the main content of this update. I hope it will be helpful for you to understand this update. Get involved now.

Today we’re covering what’s new in Phase 3 of Wrath of the Lich King, from new dungeons to new raid quests and opportunities to earn gold. Here, I’ll cover everything.

First, we’ll see a new dungeon called Trial of the Champion, which is the ultimate catchup dungeon. You can now get a new 200 item level gear from normal mode and 290 item level gear from heroic mode.

If you’re already an active Raider, you probably won’t be too excited to see this kit. But even as a full-time Ulduar Raider, I’m still interested in these trinkets. For example, Black Heart looks like a really interesting item for my Priest in PVP.

At the same time, Champion’s Seals will be dropped every time we kill the boss. And these Champion’s Seals will become more important in the third phase of Wrath of the Lich King. We’ll detail those Champion’s Seals later, but first you need to know that there will be new quests in Argent Tournament area. The new missions will cover the area north of this Argent Tournament.

For story's sake, there will be a new Black Knights questline patch if you haven’t completed that questline yet. I suggest players get started quickly. If players think this quest line is a waste of time, then the third stage may need to add some new rewards to attract players.

The new Argent Warhorse Mount is sure to grab the attention of many players. Also, I’m very interested in these new Argent Pony Bridles. If you attach it to your Argent Squire, you will be able to access the bank every four hours.

I’m definitely going to get an Argent Avenger so I can teleport back to ToC to get my GDKP. While we’re talking about new products, if you haven’t found your cheese recipe yet, you can’t forget about Jeeves. You can easily get it from that Library Guardian.

Storm peaks of cheese require several Repair Bots as well as some King’s Amber. And King’s Amber is one of many new Epic Gems newly added in Phase Three. There are many ways to get Epic Gems. The first way is PVP. As long as 10000, it can successfully exchange Otter to Epic Gems. Once your character is captain of each team, you can replenish your honor with Wintergrasp tokens, plus 2,000 bonus honor points.

The second way to get Epic Gems is from 20 Emblem of Heroism. I stock up on resources every day by doing daily Heroic Dungeon quests. You can also get epic gems from Alchemy transmute, but this method has a 20 hour cooldown.

My favorite way is still to get Epic Gems from prospect Titanium Ore. If you have known me before, you may have noticed that I have used countless Wotlk Classic Gold for prospect Titanium Ore. That’s because in the second phase of Wrath of the Lich King, I spend more time prospecting Titanium Ore than other items.

And not only can I use these Epic Gems and other players to exchange for more rare items, but I am also able to use these Epic Gems to make more Wotlk Classic Gold.

If you are interested in ways to earn money with Epic Gems in Phase 3, don’t forget to stay tuned. We’ve got a new Trial of the Crusader raid. This will be the most controversial raid level in Wrath of the Lich King. Many people will complain that the raid time is too short and there is no Trash.

Anyway, a lot of people really like NPC Trash, especially Boomkin. While the raid isn’t long and doesn’t have all those powerful bosses, it have a lot of really delightful scenes and is technically impressive.

First off Trial of the Crusader raid has four different modes with 10, 25 and Heroic 10 and 25. Once one player clears the normal mode, 10 and 25 is considered the final battle team.

The main new mechanic in Heroic Mode is a Tribute Chest system. The fewer wipes, the more gear you’ll likely get in raids. If you have 50 wipes and you can somehow complete the dungeon with the remaining 50 attempts, then you can kill all the bosses.

Related: WotLK Classic Phase 3 Prep Guide: How I’m Dominating Trial Of The Crusader?

You will get a bonus cloak as a reward. If you survive all the way, you’ll also get a bonus mount for free. This raid also simplifies some very frustrating loot systems. For example, if you’re out of 10, you’ll get Trial of the Crusader raid trophy instead of the level shard. If you’re among 25, you’ll gain the status of Grand Conqueror.

Although just like the previous stage, you can also craft new crafting gear. But crafting a new outfit requires Crusader orbs and almost the same materials as in the last raid from ToC. It might surprise you to know that ToC isn’t the only raid this year. We’re also getting a new Nixie array, which will be the ultimate nostalgia raid for all these items.

If you play Warrior class. You’ll really start to dominate all the rookies in the arena. But if arenas aren’t your style of play, you can also try the new Isle of Conquest Battleground.

Although everyone has been talking about how short the game is. Each match only lasts about 10 minutes, and it seems like the rewards have to be changed to make it worthwhile.

But regardless, I’m still very excited about Phase 3. Hope you are as prepared as possible. You can also check out my Phase 3 preparation guide. It will cover exactly what you need to do to prepare as much as possible for Phase 3.

Since Animal Crossing: New Horizons released its 2.0 patch major update in 2021, Nintendo also stated that it will not update Animal Crossing: New Horizons again. This news is also a big disappointment to many loyal players of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

However, they didn’t leave their islands, it’s just that players are no longer willing to work as hard to decorate their islands as before.

But that’s not to say that Animal Crossing: New Horizons won’t have anything to play after it stops updating. In fact, until this year, there was enough content to keep players fresh, and there are still many activities in the game that continue to unfold as usual.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of Nintendo’s original games. It is also a game that was released during COVID-19 in 2021 and became very popular. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is actually more of an interactive game. Players communicate not only in the game but also in real life. The game has been very popular since they released it, and not only children but also many adults have expressed their love for Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

At the same time, the game is also very popular in YouTube and Twitch communities. Many players have also tried to make tools in the game outside of the game. Players cooperate with each other to simplify the work in life, such as terrain transformation and furniture design. In the eyes of players, there is no game that can replace the existence of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Unique Decorations

There are different exquisite decorations in Able Sister's store every day. If players want to get other items, they don’t need to look for NookLink anymore. Players can exchange decoration experience with different players by acquiring enough Animal Crossing: New Horizons Items, to view the entire design database of other players.

The designs won’t just be limited to clothing, but there will also be some special signs, wall stickers, custom furniture, and even terrain tools. Players can use these basic tools to create their own islands to a great extent. This process alone requires a lot of effort from the player, but the result must be surprising.

Great Multiplayer Online Game

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is also one of the splendid games to play with friends when you get together. Players can lead his friends to participate in Bug Offs and Fishing Tourneys activities. They can display their designs at events, exchange items with other players, and groom each other’s islands for extra rewards. Even players who simply visit will leave excellent memories.

Another activity that players love to do with their friends is creating new games on their respective islands. Including Hide-and-Seek, Survivor or Big Brother and other types of games, there is no shortage of lottery tickets, prizes or other surprising ideas.

Most importantly, when a player’s friend is about to leave the island, the player can raid and invite their friend to settle on their island. This setting is very popular with some hunting villagers or players who have a list of people who want to live together.

Rare Villager

Each player’s character in the game has a completely different appearance, which also makes some rare villager characters more popular than ordinary villagers. Although there are many villagers in the game, it is not easy to find everyone, but it still cannot resist the enthusiasm of the players.

There are still many undeveloped wastelands in the game. Players can log in to these deserted islands through DoDo Airlines or Kapp’n’s boat. Players can also randomly invite friends to visit there.

Despite being a deserted island, some random villagers will appear, including Coco, Bob, Lucky, Stitches, Judy, and Ankha. The appearance of these NPCs is based only on the number of their breeds.

Animal Crossing Starts Over

For some players who are bored or want to try some new builds, maybe starting over is the best choice. This also means that all the player’s previous furniture and changes to the island need to be completely deleted and started from scratch.

No matter which method you try, there are always pros and cons, but they can help you start your game journey smoothly. Perhaps a fresh start will allow you to rediscover your old passion for the game.

Although Nintendo says it will no longer update Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players have found other ways to breathe new life into the game. Whether it’s creating new islands to continue the game, or leading more players to experience their own unique islands, it seems to be continuously extending the life of Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Despite the simplicity of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, many players find it immersive and relaxing while playing. In any case, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a game worth continuing to play. Don’t hesitate, hurry up and try it out.

Today we are here to talk about MF Farming Strategies. I tested two strategies. One is with Delirium Orbs and Conqueror maps, the other is using 8-mod Corrupted Maps.

Conqueror Maps

Let’s get into the first one, which is my preferred Conqueror maps. Because I know it’s a lot harder to do, but the rewards are a lot better. We have Rendering Path, that’s why we don’t choose medium and large points. You could argue that the big dots still matter, but the metallic ones don’t. So we can save some points here.

Let’s go to the left or middle of it. We’re using Torment Spearmints because there are more high-quality monsters that are possessed and touched, which is what we want. We also have more pack sizes to spawn more Altars. Beyond staff doesn’t really drop anything good from Beyond monsters. But it gives us more different pack sizes, which is why we pick it here.

We are going Abyss, and we want as many Abbas as possible. Abbas really has a lot of monsters. You can also go to the bridge to see them. But I don’t like it and don’t want to pick up all the pieces. That’s why I don’t test whether it’s better. But I doubt it because I think Abbas has more monsters.

But I’ll get to that very quickly when I explain to him which Abbas Scarabs we’re using. Of course, in the upper right corner, we’re looking at Conqueror maps pack size, which is a bit of a boost as well. So our pack size is larger.

We have this Harboring Harbinger. I also tested more Harbingers, but I still don’t like them. If you like them, you can get some points by putting them in. For example, in Shrine or Delirium, players who fill faster are great, but you know we want big traps, we want POE Currency. That’s why, to me, Delirium’s reversal is not a step backwards.

8-Mod Corrupted Maps

Let’s check another tree, we see almost the same. But there are some medium notes as it’s pretty much the same. The only difference is that I joined Rogue Exiles. If you hit it, your map will be full of touched or possessed monsters, and you can also use Unfortune for larger group sizes. But the consequences are also serious.

I think every map with these two techniques is three Chaos. I used Field Cathedral because I heard that there are more than 400 monsters in Field Cathedral. I haven’t counted them, but I believe what I hear. I also prefer the layout of Field Cathedral, and being able to run this strategy in a lap is pretty cool.

You can also catch a bus. First, I mean have Aura Bot rush in and kill the boss. When you come out and get an Altar, you can no longer choose this bus. So you have a higher chance of getting good modifiers on Altar. And we want things like repeating Divination cards or POE Currency.

Also, if it is not available, you will choose Quant and Rarity. Of course, if it’s too hard for you, just slow it down a bit, or don’t pick every one of them. Let’s look at Scarab Saxons I use. We’ll use the addresses Ambush and Divine Nation for a rally lookup.

Then there is the part of enraged sturdy boxes, Abyss and Beyond. I just want 16 uses of Abyss. It gave us an extra; the others were not worth it in my opinion. Because the investment is very high and it doesn’t bring that much profit.

So I’m going to use four paths to match a solid box. The fundamental difference between the two strategies is that the maps are different. You’ll have to get a bunch of maps and corrupt them when you’ll use the diffused cathedral 8-mod Corrupted Maps, or you’ve got the 8-mod Corrupted Maps. These are what you really need.

Delirium Orbs

On the other side are Conqueror maps. You can also use Fractured Fossil instead. So you need to split them into two parts. Like, if you have 20 and you split them all, you have 40. That makes it cheaper, or of course, depending on the value of Fractured Fossil. But usually it’s cheaper or equal. So it’s easier to get them.

I am using Delirium Orbs. This is a Currency, a Scarabs, or a Divination. I just grab the cheapest Orbs and re-roll them at Holy Station. I think it’s very common. If you don’t know, you can do this and save some POE Currency.

I think I’ve covered everything you must know about MF Farming. Let’s do a quick recap. We have high quality Conqueror Maps and high-quality pack size.

We also have an 8-mod Corrupted Maps, more for pack size, and trying to maintain Altar quantity and quality. But I think Conqueror Maps is the map that will bring us a lot of POE Currency, so I stick to this direction and do a lot, and I really like it. That’s it, good luck.

Today, I’m going to take the time to show you all the exciting ways you can prepare for the next phase of your Grand Crusader trials. You know the third phase of WOTLK Classic, there’s a lot of new stuff. That’s just unlocking your classes, but most importantly, those Epic Gems. So I’m here to tell you all the ways you can get Epic Gems.

Get Epic Gems

It started out as just a historical review of what they did with WOTLK Classic for the entire project. Even going back to Vanilla Classic and how things interact with these systems. In the third phase, we will see how Epic Gems will play out.

Obviously, everyone needs tons of these Epic Gems. Because you’re now going to replace every gem in your gear with Epic Gems. Currently, you can only get one type of Storm Jewel from fishing, and that’s what we have here.

But they all reached level 23 Spell Power. So every Gem you see has 19 levels of Spell Power and they all get better. All those oranges and blues that you see get better too.

So getting these Epic Gems will be very important. This will bring them unimaginable value. It will also be profitable if you use any of these methods to store the stuff. So I very much encourage you to do this.

So first obviously Jewel crafting. There are all these things here that cause Jewel crafting to be hit with exploration. They’re going to look ahead from Titanium or now I’m in this case to the way of talking about classic.

Because we saw Nexus crystals come into play, you had all your gear and epic gear stockpiled before AQ came out. And they do become Nexus crystals. A lot of people thought they wouldn’t do it retroactively, but they did.

Store Titanium Ore

So we were making a lot of money along the way. Now with Titanium Ore, you can stock up. Then you can do prospecting on the first day of Phase 3. I believe it has at least a 10% or 2% mining rate. Each Prospect has a 2% or 4% chance of getting Gems. As you can see, Titanium Ore costs about 60 WOTLK Classic Gold per pile, so people definitely know that.

I would imagine Titanium or would be Skyrocket. Because there’s going to be so much demand for these Epic Gems right now. Another way, if we look at that Alchemy tree here, there is also some conversion. It will have Eternal fire and Scarlet Ruby. To get it, there is now an entire way to learn transmutes.

Players need to get these things, which is also a task. So there is a quest that tricks you into converting Cardinal Ruby. Then I got the info from other people in recipes, or found them by making a transformation. But they only give you a Cardinal Ruby. In comparison, I’m sure to provide more details.

Understand Trend Changes

Then you can also craft your Icy Prism every day as a Drill craft, but it kind of sucks right now. You can keep stockpiling these Epic Gems to make those Epic Gems and Frozen Orbs more important. Then you can keep doing it with them. I’m not sure if you’ll pre-craft them, because if you pre-craft Icy Prism, it does have a daily cooldown.

But don’t open them. I’m not sure if the loot spawns when they are created or when they are opened. So I’d definitely do some more research and see if you can think about it for them.

Well, you can get them now for 20 Emblems of Heroism. Because it took them so long to put the blue gems in. I don’t know if they’re going to do it right away with this Epic Gems if that’s going to happen right away, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

But I’d do it with this vendor here and the vendors in their respective areas of San River Sanctuary and Silver Enclave. If you are a Hoarder, Alliance will reward you with these items, and there will be 20 Emblems of Heroism.

Then in Orgrimmar or a Storm, you can get 10K Honor Points. You can get an Epic Gem, but that’s one of those things that might not be available right away. Because they like to procrastinate, for whatever reason.

But almost the best way to make money is to have a Master Alchemist. And you know you’re going to be stockpiling Titanium Ore all the time, or you could even go and mine it. Winter grassp is great for mining.

But you must try to get some good Titanium Ore. Because I can imagine Titanium Ore even going up. They do it all the time, and people always try to manipulate these when they’re released. So I follow this line of thinking and profit from every game I do.

These are just all the really lucrative ways you can prepare for Phase 3 to earn a ton of money. So anyway, guys, here’s what I’m trying to say. I really hope you like it. If there is anything missing, players can also discuss it in the community. I hope you have a nice day.

The Wintertide Brand was hard to build around. It had a complex set of mechanics, and it didn’t work the way you’d expect from Brand. With that, I’ll explain how it works and cover the pitfalls I ran into.

Brand is a skill that attaches to enemies and deals damage to them. When it does, it projects an Icy Sphere around the target. Do you think it would hurt monsters around it? It doesn’t, it just damages the target it’s on.

However, when Brand drops from an enemy, any monsters in the Sphere will get a Debuff called Wintertime End. This deals with the same damage as it did to the target. If the target circles overlap, it defaults to damage for one second. Therefore, only the strongest stack will cause the most damage to monsters.

If you want the skill to do anything like clear, you need to make it drop a lot. There are four possible ways this can happen:

• Overwrite one new Brand with another.
• The monster they attach it to dies.
• Pull it off with Brand Recoil.
• Use Mastery, make it jump to the new enemy.

Activates every 0.3 seconds and says the only way this ability feels good. If you use Mastery, the next thing to watch out for is the damage from WinStar Brand. It’s actually a Debuff that inflicts Cold damage over time. This means we do not classify it as hitting an enemy, so it has no damage effect. For example, Life On Here or Hexade support, it can not be more than a bonus trip as a DOT. But it can’t reflect to you, so you can run full LED Reflect Maps.

Despite AOE tag, the Debuff does not apply to area damage. So this Concentrative Effect doesn’t give you extra damage. But it will reduce Radius. Note also that flags equipped to support damage to spells only apply to hits. So the extra damage added in this way does nothing for the points. You also can’t Crit, so you further limit your Skating options.

Another advantage of this skill is that when it attaches to an enemy, it will be timed according to the skill’s Activation Frequency. Each tick adds a phase, and each phase causes Debuff to deal up to 20+ damage. By default, these phases have coverage of 20 and damage increased by 400%.

You also get a Lab Enchant, which adds 4 Max Stages and 480 more damage. This is by far the best damage Enchant. You can attach up to three Brands to an enemy, and they stack by default.

However, you only need to open the case twice with POE Currency to get the three Rubenbinder Keystones you need. But getting extra damage is a little trickier. Usually, it seems to activate every quarter of a second and expire two seconds after connecting. So by default you’ll only get Eight Stacks or 160+ damage.

So you need to increase the duration of the skill or increase Activation Frequency or a combination of both. You can increase it with Cast Speed or Brand Activation Frequency. And during the duration of our use of skill effects or Brand duration, we don’t need much time to achieve our goal.

Also note that this skill does not apply damage at Activation Frequency like other brands. So once you get past Max Stacks, you can add as many durations and gas velocities as you want. While these increases your total damage, it does absolutely nothing for your DPS. This means that the skill actually has a hard limit on what it can handle.

We should note that when the skill knocks down an enemy, Brand calculated POB’s damage. Stacks as a cruise will persist and be applied to the next target. Therefore, Brand Recoil is essential for doing high damage and worst things.

All you can do is recast them before they expire. This caused them to be overwritten with a new Brand from scratch. This does mean that you need to watch Brand Counter like a hawk.

You don’t panic too much. Because the skill upgrade is Chill, it will reduce the enemy’s action speed by 10%. If you have the right Non-damaging Ailment Effect increases. This slows your enemies to a poor crawl. You can probably still outrun them, even if they just bit off your leg.

You defend your legs against their attacks. Also, spells are much slower and Elemental Focus causes Brand not to cool down. Because the cold makes you feel super safe and is a really powerful free Defensive Lair.

While they look like they have a refrigerated section, they don’t. If you want the cold area bonus from Bone Chill, you have to apply for it with something. Plus, like Vortex, it actually complements the skill’s damage deficiencies nicely, and can also scale with spell damage. Because this also applies to skill effects.

In my opinion, the best mass effect is the normal one, which increases Chill damage over time. This skill is absolutely amazing. It can put most bosses to shame. So I’d definitely consider using it to balance the beginning of the problem. Once you hit the end game, boss, anything with cold resistance will take an age to kill. If you don’t mind slower, safer, smoother gameplay, you might really like this skill.

It’s really well designed in terms of maps and map bosses. But four minutes to kill Endless Hunger, and even five minutes to kill Elder let me down. So I wouldn’t use it again unless it gets a sizable buff. Hope these will help you on your way of exploration.

This build is described as "madness in the best way" by Mark, a senior gameplay programmer. That is Ifnjeff's Spell Echo Hydrosphere. It takes an unusual and rarely used support skill and turns it into a veritable wrecking ball. Next, we're going to explain the main set of mechanics.

How Does It Work?

Ifnjeff was inspired by the Plume of Pursuit unique helmet. This starts us off with a massive downside. Every non-critical strike will now deal 80% less damage. However, the helm also makes every final repeat of a spell, a repeat as in, when using the Spell Echo support gem, an automatic critical strike.

So, for example, if we cast Arc supported by Spell Echo with this helmet on, the first beam will deal very little damage, but the second beam will always be a crit. Ifnjeff notes that this tradeoff is usually not worth it. Unless we go all in. What we need is a skill that deals damage over a duration and can benefit from our automatic crits. A skill that doesn't rely on having multiple casts active at once.

Meet Hydrosphere. It's a watery ball that emits damaging pulses. When you cast the spell, it will first move the ball, then make it pulse. When supported by Spell Echo, the repeat simply causes the ball to "move" on the spot and pulse again. This repeat will always be a crit, thanks to the Plume of Pursuit helmet. A good start, but this only really hits once.

Hydrosphere has another property - it pulses cold or lightning damage, doing so regularly when affected by different ailments. All we have to do is hit the ball with another spell that will inflict an ailment. Thanks to our helmet, these regular pulses will also be crits, as the ball is managed by the most recent use of the Hydrosphere skill.

So, to get the most out of this skill, we have to put an ailment on it. Ifnjeff has decided to use Freeze - this ailment is unique in that its duration is scaled by the damage of the hit, so if we hit our ball hard enough with Freeze, it will continue to pulse for a nice long time.

Herein lies the tricky part. Hydrosphere only registers one hit from the player every second. Other hits in that time will be ignored. So, for most skills supported by Spell Echo, if we hit the ball with them, our boosted final repeat won't affect the ball at all, and it might not get the ailment we need.

Ifnjeff found only one reliable solution. Wave of Conviction. This spell creates a damaging wave that can only ever have one instance. So, if we cast it with Spell Echo - the final repeat cancels our useless first wave and replaces it with the automatic crit we so desire. Now, we can reliably hit our Hydrosphere with an automatic crit.

But all of this is just the beginning of the story. To get the most out of this strange combo, Ifnjeff gets even more creative. We obviously don't need critical strike chance because of our automatic crits, but we do want a huge critical strike multiplier. Marylene's Fallacy is perfect for us, granting a huge boost to crit multi. The amulet also has the added bonus of giving us Culling Strike on all our crits - which is all the time.

For our weapon, we can wield The Winds of Fate. It also gives us more crit multiplier. But even cooler, it has huge base physical damage.

To make use of this, Ifnjeff has picked up Battlemage from the Inquisitor Ascendancy, a property that adds our main hand weapon damage to our spells. This means Hydrosphere is gaining one-thousand-whatever physical damage from Winds of Fate. The weapon's downside limits our critical strike chance and makes it so non-crits don't deal damage. Since we don't have to roll for crits and our non-crits have already been rendered useless, this downside does not bother us at all.

Damage Conversion

Next, we gotta talk about damage conversion. This is where things start to get even more complex. Hydrosphere has base physical damage, and converts all of it to cold or lightning damage depending on the ailments it's affected by. Ifnjeff explains that he prefers cold damage, as freezing the ball helps with extending the pulse duration as mentioned earlier.

Plus, cold damage is a bit easier to scale, and freezing enemies is nice for defence. Now, Winds of Fate has a property where some of your physical damage is randomly converted to elemental damage, which could be a problem. Fortunately, Hydrosphere itself isn't affected because it converts 100% of physical damage. This is a skill gem calculation, meaning it has priority over the random conversion from Winds of Fate, so we're safe there.

However, Wave of Conviction, which we're using to apply ailments to Hydrosphere, converts 25% of physical damage to lightning, and 25% to fire. The remaining 50% of physical damage can be affected by the Winds of Fate conversion. So, how do we ensure a consistent damage type, and that we're not accidentally shocking the ball instead of freezing it?

The only way Ifnjeff found is to take Avatar of Fire. This completely prevents us from dealing Non-Fire Damage, so we're not accidentally going to shock the Hydrosphere ball. Avatar of Fire also converts 50% of cold damage to fire.

To improve the conversion, we'll use the Cold to Fire support gem. Winds of Fate will still sometimes mess with our damage conversion here, but now at least we have some consistency.

But unfortunately fire can't freeze. For this, we turn to Expedition's End. This unique body armour lets our fire damage freeze. As an added bonus, it makes our freezing more effective, and it chills nearby enemies.

At this point, Ifnjeff notes we've completed our little puzzle. The looming problem now becomes a clunky slow cast speed, a small Area of Effect, and high mana costs.

Ifnjeff has a very smart solution to this problem: Instruments of Zeal is an Inquisitor passive that grants us Fanaticism. This buff gives us a massive boost to all three of the stats we need - Cast Speed, AoE, and Mana Cost Reduction. The only problem is that we need to be able to use an attack skill frequently to maintain this buff.

It would make sense to use a movement skill, but we're using a staff, and something like Leap Slam would be too slow or awkward for us. Instead, Ifnjeff is using Cyclone, bound to space bar, simply tapping it as needed, slightly more than once a second. It's an unusual, rhythmic way to play, but it absolutely gets the job done.

We don't have time in the article to cover everything, but hopefully this gives you an idea of the sheer number of cool interactions at work here. Ifnjeff's Hydrosphere Inquisitor, as he puts it, tends towards meme territory. It's not going to be the wrecking ball that destroys the meta, but it showcases an extremely creative use of mechanics and unlikely items, and is completely viable at endgame.

2022 has passed, and the games released this year are still a little insufficient. Except for top masterpieces such as Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok, the quality of other games still has not met the expectations of fans.

As a result, more fans began to put more expectations in 2023. However, I have to say that 2023 may be able to restore the decline of the game circle in recent years. After all, there are many masterpieces this year. If the release time of these new games is not delayed due to some accidents, then there will be very fierce competition among the games that will be launched this year.

Today, let's summarize the game masterpieces worth looking forward to in 2023, and see if there is something you like?

1. Tears of the Kingdom

There is a popular saying in the game circle, "P5 is the number one game in the world, and Zelda is the toppest", which shows how high the status of The Legend of Zelda is in the game circle. And Tears of the Kingdom, as a sequel, is also in the limelight.

Originally, Tears of the Kingdom was also a strong contender for the Best Game of the Year. But unfortunately in May 2022, the producer announced that the release would be postponed to May 12, 2023.

Judging from the current trailer, the game is already very complete, and the locations that players can explore are not limited to land, and locations such as Sky Island have begun to appear. And it is unlikely to be delayed again. I hope the game will live up to the expectations of fans.

2. Final Fantasy XVI

The Final Fantasy series has always been the golden signboard of Japanese RPG, such as Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 14 are classics among the classics.

In the new work, the player will play the role of prince Clive Rosefield, and his younger brother Joshua, who is the manifester of the summoned beast Phoenix, will be involved in the vortex of war, and the reason why the kingdom is protected by Mother Crystals will also be revealed.

Judging from the announced content, it will be a style combining medieval and high-tech elements, and it will make real-time combat. What's more, the refreshment will also definitely be improved compared with the past.

Fortunately, the performance of this series is still very stable, and it will basically not disappoint the expectations of fans, so stay tuned!

3. Assassin's Creed Mirage

The game is actually another classic series. The name "Assassin's Creed" is well known, and even some people who don't play games may have heard of it.

Assassin's Creed Mirage will be the 13th game in the Assassin's Creed series. It is rumored that this game will return to the original intention of "Stealth" and "Assassination", which makes many players breathe a sigh of relief.

I hope that Ubisoft can focus on the game mechanism this time, and stop being just a landscape browser.

4. Hogwarts Legacy

Harry Potter is probably the memory of many people's childhood. The "Harry Potter" series of movies also has countless fans, and countless children and adults are immersed in the cool magical world.

The story of this game is set in Hogwarts in the 19th century, and the timeline is before Harry Potter and others. The player will play a student in Hogwarts, and can fully experience the potion class and choose his own wands, taming magical creatures, and more.

Overall, there are quite a lot of masterpieces in 2023. Let's look forward to them together!

Lost Ark community now has access to a holiday gift pack, and Amazon is assuring all that there will be some additional gifts to ensure you can get fully geared up for the content ahead.

On December 28th, Lost Ark had downtime for the weekly maintenance, with a gift pack full of items after a successful almost a year in Western release. Those who log in between 12/28-3/15/2023 will be able to claim the gifts. However, some players that claimed their gifts noticed inconsistencies in what they got.
The gift pack consists of a series of items:

• 100 Ancient Platinum Coin (each coin contains 20k silver)

• 10 Collective Battle Item Chest

• A Legendary Card Pack Selection Chest

• 100 Pheons

• 10 Magick Society Special Dye Chest

• A Mokoko Skin Selection Chest with 4 new options

Some that claimed the packs initially noticed that what came out of the random chests was kind of a dud, with various items being less useful. With a big grant of these chests, it was intended to give some real boosts for those that opened them, so when many underdelivered, the community had some feedback on the matter.

Amazon has announced that there will be a make good grant “to ensure all players are fully geared up with Battle Items of all types, we will be distributing an additional 100 "4 Battle Item Chests". Players who have already claimed their gift will also keep the initial items”

The recently-released Lost Ark roadmap for the first half of 2023 revealed some new content on the way, including this month’s The Witcher collaboration, and quality of life updates. February will bring the beans new continent of Rowen, along with new item level requirements and challenges, including the ability to opt into open world PvP.

EA Sports FC 24 will represent a huge change in the annual release of football games, and with EA’s footballing behemoth set to continue, we put forward 5 things that need to change in the game’s Ultimate Team mode moving forward.

Whether it’s called FIFA or EA Sports FC, the fact is that EA will still be producing a football simulation game that is bound to find the top bins like it always does. The strike might not always be pure, but it’s enough to tempt millions of consumers into buying it each and every season.

EA Sports FC 24 will have a different name, but the core of FIFA is still expected to be retained, which means we’re likely to see a whole host of familiar game modes returning – including the money-making Ultimate Team.

With that being said, we’ve drawn up a list of areas we think EA needs to work on when it comes to Ultimate Team, to make it a more fulfilling and engaging game mode.

1. Less promos & SBCs

I’ll just go ahead and say it, the oversaturation of weekly promos and excessive SBCs killed off FIFA 23 long before Christmas.

‘Special’ cards no longer feel special when EA are releasing several new players with amazing stats that also make top-tier Rare Gold cards redundant. In addition, TOTW is a shadow of its former self.

The knock-on effect is a completely dead market in which FIFA 23 only has two Rare Gold Players who sell for over 100K heading into 2023.

It was a bore to see everyone have Haaland spearheading their team by the end of November with a litany of SBCs surrounding him. Endgame teams shouldn’t be a regular sight in December, and it kills all the fun by having every game be an absolute sweatfest.

2. Scrap meaningless consumables

Is there a human being alive who enjoys the concept of Contracts or Healing? Like Fitness cards, they were a tricky yet strategic element of Ultimate Team in years gone by, but the abundance of packs, free packs, and rewards means you’ll simply never run out of them now.

They’ve become a nuisance for the sake of being a nuisance and add nothing to the game. I get that they’re also there to fill up packs as rares, but in that case, find new ways of going about it – as they did with Position Modifier cards.

3. Bring back the Win/Loss system for Division Rivals

The checkpoint system was an attempt to reinvigorate FUT Rivals and give it a shake-up. The only problem was that the classic Promotion/Relegation system across a set number of games wasn’t broken – so they didn’t need to ‘fix’ it.

Now, you can be permanently stuck in limbo in a division that you’re not entirely comfortable with for a whole season. This makes the grind for Weekly Rewards harder (another mistake was changing the total needed to 8 for the Reward Upgrade) and your gameplay more frustrating.

Bring back the old system, please.

4. Increase the challenge of FUT Moments for more rewards

The big concern was that FUT Moments was going to become stale very quickly, and that turned out to be the case as EA didn’t make them worth completing as the Season 1 rewards were tragically woeful.

It’s a novel concept having bitesize segments of gameplay to grind towards rewards, but therein lies the second problem – the gameplay is tedious.

Playing against a team with a guaranteed minimum of 20 in-game minutes left to play and winning by 2 goals on Semi-Pro is not appealing to anyone, let alone challenges that dumb the difficulty down even more.

Give us interesting scenarios where we can choose multiple different difficulty levels, a la Squad Battles, and offer us fun, varied objectives to complete with decent rewards on the line. Otherwise, FUT Moments risks being a great concept that ends up dying – like FUT Draft.

5. Guaranteed rewards for FUT Champions

Unless you’re finishing extremely high up in FUT Champions, then it’s a serious case of Forest Gump syndrome with FUT Champions as you literally have no idea what you’re going to get.

Now, in fairness, big respect has to go to EA as they reduced the original 40 games down to 30 and now to 20, but for lots of people, 20 is still a hefty commitment. So, if you’re going to battle your heart and soul out to try and rack up as many wins as possible, then you want to be rewarded.

Worse still, players who are getting 12-16 wins, sometimes more, are getting amazing rewards on paper, but being shafted when it comes to their actual prizes. It would make sense to implement a system similar to Rivals in that players can pick from two or three rewards, with at least one option guaranteeing you an 86+ player for example.

These are just some of the ways in which we’d go about improving EA’s football game moving forward as we head into the new era of EA Sports FC.
