Issue 19 shopping list

As usual, just posting my action plan for next issue

Assuming not much has changed since GR beta and each incarnate "tree" can make use of any component/boost, launch day to-do list will be:


Run Mender Remiel Story Arc = Alpha slot and badge

Run/join ITF
Run/join Kahn/Cuda TF
Run/join LGTF
Run/join STF/LRSF

Count random shard drops earned. Try to save 8 and put to one side. Then, convert 4 into either the Hami and/or CoP components, or:

Hami Raid
CoP Trial

Next, turn 3 of the 6 common components gathered from the above into a common boost. Slot it to be ready for the new TF/SF.

Farm shards until you can gather three common components that you need, then use one common component plus 8 shards to make an uncommon component.

Add the uncommon component, common boost and two common components to make an uncommon boost (= 32 shards total).

Slot it…for now…

Run the new Incarnate TF and SF.

Go to Praetoria. Collect all exploration/history badges, jump in all rivers and join in the new zone events for new badges.

Run every single Praetorian story arc in Ouroboros to gain the moral choice badges and collec the remaining defeat badges.

Collect more shards until 18 hour cool-down is reached for the TFs above. Once 18 hours pass, start running them again for more components. Start working out what’s required to upgrade from an uncommon to a rare boost…(probably twice what’s needed for the uncommon, i.e. 1 uncommon boosts, 2 common boosts, 2 uncommon components and 4 common components? (= 32 + 24 + 24 + 16 shards = 96 shards!)

Rest for a bit, then see whether it’s possible to work towards an even better Very Rare Incarnate ability or if those are locked for now.

Work out whether the Devs are evil enough to have made the different incarnate “trees” separate…in other words, “REAL players have all four top-level incarnate abilities in their clutches and can switch between the four when required” (or even all 8, if you can have both final branches of each tree)…


Random thought: It would be cool if we could run tip missions in Praetoria to change into a Loyalist/Resistance, in the same way as we can switch from Villain to Hero. Hmm. I doubt there will be any regular level 50 Praetorian content yet though? Maybe after the invasion...

(edited in light of the new info and open beta)

Related note: I'm not sure if it's 2 common components or two common boosts to make the uncommon boost. Some sources disagree. Could be 32 or 40 shards worth, then.

Lather, rinse, repeat... You put your first alt in, you pull your first alt out, you put your next alt in and run it all about...

Probably should add a step before all of that:
Respec into 3 (4) new powers for free.

Sucks for me - I can't do that just yet.

I get the "now you can choose Flight at level 6" vet reward really soon, so to avoid having to respec every single alt twice I think I am going to wait a while then sort them all in one go.

I don't want to go through the headache of working out new builds next week and then again next month

Heh - need to add more steps:

Visit all Primal Earth zones with new exploration badges and collect them

Run the two new story arcs for developing Praetorians for their badges

Keep trying the two new Incarnate TFs until you get all the badges plus the Master badges!


This is going to take a while...

Quick like a turtle?
