Some part of me still enjoys playing at public parties rather than in armies. Maybe it is nostalgia for the times I beat chaos lords with randoms, but it's also because otherwise the game feels like a single-player cookie grinder without the unpredictability and player anecdotes. Though too much unpredictability can be unwarranted for your time, that's why I'm going for the middle ground and getting chronic like css and pcm to swap and overperform party roles if one of them is flunking too much

How are people doing so much damage when farming bosses? Some people outright instakill the bosses, and at times I feel like I'm doing less damage than a level 90.
My gear is:
>+51% weapon forge +6, smite
>head anima +6, clairvoyance
>everything else normal forge +6 enchants
>VHL class
My 2/3/4/5 skills do 9k/9k/5k/30-50k damage (if that means anything).
I try to use consumes like the potent battle elixir/felicitous philtre/power tonic/potion of speed/etc. but they don't really make much of a difference.

Also I get instakilled by a lot of bosses (like the hydra challenge or archfiend dragonlord). I know the clairvoyance helm makes you very squishy, but even if I take it off and switch to a tankier class (like AP), I still get instakilled and just can't solo the fight at all.

Nothing. I don't particularly want anything because I've been playing for a long time + I don't care about Rares, so I'm waiting to stumble on something I missed over the years. Or maybe I'll just waste it on a class I don't want to farm for like LR or the new Darkon one.

Legion Revenant (without the IoDA tag even) is already the most popular choice for those tokens, AI has an AC tag on the wiki too although I have no idea if it is too new to grab that way yet.

It's probably the class with the worst "pure" grind, but it doesn't require ultra bosses. I'd say it's slightly more time consuming than AI or VHL.
Also, the new Lich class requires Rank 10 Grimskull Trolling, so get to those dailies.

I don't think it looks hard, but it's the bad type of grind. For Archmage, EDoT, AI, etc you sort of go on an adventure for the non-ultraboss methods. You see storylines and items you missed, go to different places, sometimes change classes to counter things like soloing Icewing, go down memory lane, etc. For Nulgath, Darkon, Legion, Necrotic Sword type grinds it's just a grinding and nothing more. I don't mind in small bursts like farming for a merge shop, but I never do those long types of grinds.

The problem is that I have both been playing this specific account since like 3 years after the game released and have money to burn, so my bank is chock full of stuff I've gathered over the years including like half of the most popular rare items people use the items for. There isn't anything of sentimental value for me left to get, only items I might want for cosmetics or skipping grinds. Not complaining, I'm just saying.

>Or get SDKA if you're a free player, it's not tagged so you can use it to get NSoD and stuff.
Isn't that like step 1 of 30 or something? At that point you could just grab the sword or a different 50% damage weapon from the get go.

Nah, you'll have to stand around in shadowrealm for a while but it's immensely faster than doing it the regular way. And then you just go around a couple of maps for the remaining items like necronomicons afaik. I don't know how much faster it is when you're a member, but I remember getting like 80% of the required void auras manually doing the non-member quest before finally the x years played tokens were added to the game. So I used them to get SDKA and an old rare armor that I used to have on a private server before even knowing there was a real AQW - like I said, sentimental value.

The company was going through a phase where they were willing to sell ridiculously broken pay-to-win stuff in all of their games. Doomknight these days is actually not even the original Doomknight. The original was so ridiculously outrageously broken in such a way that it trivialized literally the entire game by nature. So the developers were cornered into nerfing it if they wanted the game to have any interactivity at all with a large part of the playerbase. But obviously people who bought it also didn't want to readily accept a nerf to the P2W class they bought. So newer people who've bought Doomknight get a less broken one, and older players who bought Doomknight are grandfathered into the outrageously good Doomknight but also get the less broken one.

Dragonfable today has its monthly challenge battles as a core piece of its design philosophy now and I think they do a really good job at pushing the limits of the battle system with that. But anyway as part of that, the old Doomknight is banned from the challenges. New Doomknight is still really good to be clear. But it has some flaws. It's maybe the best class in the game but still doesn't do every challenge very well. Recently I feel like Pirate's been destroying all the challenges the easiest. But it depends what style of fight the devs feel like putting out, and the playerbase is pretty temperamental, and the devs are receptive to the playerbase for good or for bad

I haven't really played an artix game since Twilly looked like this. Can someone pill me on which ones are worthwhile and how best to approach them?

I was mostly turned off by the paid aspects and the lack of easy storage options in AQ. I never really got into the other games.

It's the lore of the entire AQW multiverse that the hero is kind of imagining it up, and that's why mechs and shit can exist in the same universe as medieval knights and magic? I thought that's why Malgor is trying to be the bad guy so the hero won't inadvertently become the villain of his own story.
Anonymous No.3808608 >>3808705

I would say only really Dragonfable and AQW are truly worth playing personally. Mechquest, AQ/Warpforce (forever unfinished) and even Epic Duel are neat however. You play Dragonfable for the storyline and more in-depth battles, AQW for most everything else. DF is much more F2P friendly, but you can do most things in AQW without membership.

As for tips the only things I can say that isn't covered by the guides near the top is that you shouldn't spend your free AC/DC coins on random junk. You get free coins through various means and anniversaries, so save them up for something that unlocks content or features. Like buying the Legion armour that unlocks his entire faction in AQW perhaps.
Also don't bother grinding exp, since you'll get a ton from just doing the storylines and farming for items as you go.

>>3808418
Nah, as far as I recall AQW was created when Galanoth slayed the Eternal Dragon of Time in Adventure Quest Classic. This caused a massive shattering of timestreams or whatever they're called and the dragon's power going out of control inadvertently fused a bunch together into a new universe including Mechquest and Dragonfable. The old ones like Mechquest and Dragonfable still exist in mostly the same separate timeline alongside each other iirc. The EDoT did manifest the AQW world and their body, but it's not like Haruhi Suzumiya where they subconsciously shape it after the fact.

The new world doesn't have a proper Hero, because the dragon subconsciously put itself in that role which is probably why the Evil side is so overpowered now. Malgor was mostly doing it because he's a good boy, not really for cosmic or karmic reasons.
Anonymous No.3808705 >>3808767

AQW formed after the Eternal Dragon of Time killed himself (with Galanoth) and then "stole divinity" from all of the other gods. He then became close enough to a proper God and also started LARPing as an adventurer.
Malgor's goal is to save the Hero, which is also why he becomes a villain.

You can get one from there, but you also get one + a bonus one everytime you buy a big membership/AC package. Technically you can just paypig your way through them, only downside is that you might still need those quests done anyway for further progression.

speaking of niche classes - why are some classes outright unplayable on high level content? i thought that the whole point of enchantments was to make every class viable at every level, but that isn't the case at all. even with forge enchants, a huge chunk of classes have 0 dps vs high level bosses.

Like with most live service games, powercreep. There's also the "early game unit" curse where they made something before knowing what the "meta" would be. Most of the "can't solo" classes just lack some form of sustain or damage negation. Dauntless is usually able to "fix" these classes, though your DPS will still be tiny.
Some classes are also intentionally low tier, i.e. Rustbucket or Barber.

Not from what I have tested. He's too slow, there's an ESL guy (Wahzzers) on YouTube who used him vs ultras, it did fine but nothing amazing.

My fav niche pick is Eternal Inversionsist with Dauntless + Vim helm + Lament cape vs rooms with 6 or more enemies. And Dauntless Scarlets Sorceress also becomes an amazing farmer.
>>3821894
Some classes are just too old to fix. Forge Enchantments mostly help some of mid game to low end game classes. The only early game class I can think of that becomes lowkey busted is Ninja lul. The thing is: forge can make your class rly close to 100% dodge rate, and if you got a dodge class it's even better.

>Is [Elemental Warrior] class worth getting at all?
I have it, it's a decent lategame class with some endgame niches
It's main niche is having decent DPS, ranged skills, and short CDs
Which makes it good for general questing and as a single-target farmer
The guy who made the KPM spreadsheet >>3792566 constantly shills this class
Get it if you got membership or an extra bonus package, not worth for ACs
Here's a guide with recommended enhancements and combos if you're interested:
https://www.aqwhub.com/class-usage-guides/legendary-elemental-warrior/

>What are your favourite more niche picks for...classes
Legendary Hero wherever I need to support, especially for "invisible" bosses
Sentinel or Guardian for killing bosses, usually Guardian if there's people
AI, DragonLord, or Elemental Warrior depending on what I'm farming.

>>3822019
The problem with Elemental Warrior is that it needs endgame Forge to really shine
By the time you can get those enhancements, other classes perform similarly or better
Which is why you only see it mentioned for lategame progression or farming KPM

Agree with >>3822068 anon on Sentinel. I think some people just missed the buffs or something but this one legit hits like a truck rn.
Other picks for solo would be: 1. Legion DoomKnight as the only class with 10-second decay, I think. 2. LightCaster for sentimental reasons, since I used it back when it came out while not bothering to farm harder classes for a while.

As for support, I think Frostval Barbarian is underrated. When it was used I don't think I ever saw my or anyone's else mana drop EVER. I know SC also has mana help, but it's in form of mana regain not reducing costs. Also the HoT and Crit buffs of this class are much better comapred to SC.
It does have two big issues: no Haste for allies, no damage reduction for allies, which makes it worse choice for a lot of ultras

I don't know what they're talking about without context, but the start of Darkon Saga was pretty meh honestly. The last parts once you're beyond the "spooky" villages and muh drama or intrigue were the best bits, when it's just the actual characters clashing and putting it on the line at the end. The rest is just the usual build up they always do in the game, only this time with more blatant body horror.
Drago was pretty neat too, I guess.

Oh, I just wrote Dauntless thrice since it looked/sounded better, but technically EW also prefers Dauntless for farming.
IMO AI feels a bit awkward since it switches between buff and unbuffed states, sometimes I forget to use The World lol
Actually, looking at the Farming KPMs here >>3792566, AF seems close to AI and it doesn't have the pre-buff startup.

The class designer even wrote a whole ass backstory in the description and commissioned this art of their Sentinel waifu
Also, SC does have mana cost reduction, but only 20%. Though it's not like SC is meta for most Challenge/Ultra bosses

Voice in the Sea, Doom Triad, Cold Thunder, Atlas, other sagas have all followed the formula of introducing a new obviously evil character and then revealing that they were evil.
Even though the story is significantly better than with previous writers, I finally understand the people who were mad that Serenity dies in DF.

i've been seeing pic related used as reference for the fight a lot.
why are the taunts here: truth - AP / listen - SC / truth - SC
instead of alternating (truth - AP / listen - SC / truth - AP)?

is it because listen -> truth is less than 10 seconds inbetween so the SC taunt carries over into the next attack?

the format just confuses be because the first SC/AP loop is:

then the second SC/AP loop is:

i know everyone has to alternate between the red zone, but why not just have the first taunt loop be like the second one in that case (SC/SC/AP/AP)?

Rare means it's no longer available once they remove it (although you can typically use the item of donated awesomeness to get them still), Seasonal means it'll be available only during specific events like Christmas. And Unassigned/Unknown means they haven't decided whether it's rare or not yet.

Yeah, they're basically just rares tied to events. There's lots of variety in normal tags too like Weird, Junk, Epic, Awesome, Legendary, etc but they just mean the same thing. It's all kind of arbitrary, but it used to confuse me all the time back then because Rarity is the same as something being Rare in normal English.

I hope they update the UI so I can tell what's happening with buff and debuffs better. Once you reach the 70% mark it's easy to not notice that your polarity is reversed even though you've got the yellow circle for like 3-4 seconds because it ramps up so much and that you can't miss a heal or buff/debuff. It's hard to tell when you're actually weakened enough die in general, not to mention it being a bit unclear what your own class or room members are doing. Pretty frustrating to die when she's got like 100k left.

But I'm not used to mmo style gameplay, so maybe that's just me. Perhaps I should go figure out what looks like 100+ requirements for the other Forge enhancements for a big boost first or something.

You can try associating the item itself with the enhancement effect so you can zoom through your inventory mentally speaking IE enchant the shield or armoured weapon/capes with the defensive enchantments, EDoT enchantments placed on Eternal Dragon themed gear, Legion Revenant enhancements go on Legion equipment only, etc. Or failing that, simplify all your builds. Have only the most fun classes saved + 1 permanent slot for your absolute best current DPS, best Support build and best Tank/Taunt/survival build. You only need the most used stuff saved, the rest you can change into when you're bored.

It's the best you can do, because let me tell you it doesn't get better even with 480 inventory slots and it gets a hundred times worse when you add in all the items you need to gather for quests.

that's not true. nightbane dodges a lot, especially in blood frenzy, and shaman completely negates the crit and dodge of nightbane's blood frenzy. that's why i was confused - because someone was telling me not to use shaman on nightbane specifically, when i'd argue it's one of the best classes to use for that boss.

It isn't unless you're farming Nightbane, so not killing it once for a daily quest
Shaman provides no buffs and has poor DPS since it's damage scaling is slow

I did some more research and it turns out I'd need 7.5k-8.5k void auras for NSoD... That's 5 months of dailies (not including gifting Gravelyn - not sure how much you get from her per day), or approx. 300+ hours of retrieving void auras (-16 hours for every 2x void auras day, assuming I grind for 8 hours on those days).

I really wanted it, since it has a lot of cool appearances and half of that 51% weapons in the game are derivced from it, but getting NSoD as F2P really feels hopeless.
Unless there are other ways of getting void auras that I'm missing?

All the earlier farms and ones similar to them like Darkon stuff are dreadful because they're just that, farming the same items until you have a truckload. The new shopping list approach isn't perfect either, but it at least has you going to different places and fighting different things. Personally I never farm stuff from places like Nulgath or Legion because of that (also because their items are mostly the same aesthetic).

I just checked the last boost and it was 10x/12x/14x void auras.
Maybe there's a little bit of hope. I think next month might have a VA boost.

>>3831084
I like the 'shopping list' items a lot more, because you get to visit new areas and do questlines you might have missed. I didn't mind the Nulgath/Legion stuff because it wasn't anywhere near as bad as NSoD - you could get any 'goal' finished in less than a week, not within 5-6 months.
Anonymous No.3831163 >>3831171

It's not so much a matter of difficulty or even time spent, but the interactions. Most of the bosses in farms like Eternal Dragon of Time are easy too, but they do require or at least provide incentives to change up how you play (at least if you're not already at basically endgame) even if that's only something minor like using a 100% dodge class to fight the Griffon boss. Compared to something like Darkon Bananas or farming Escherion for Nulgath where there's absolutely zero thought whatsoever because the enemy dies in one hit, you're basically just waiting at that point and might as well bot it for the same experience. That being said, it's all kind of arbitrary grinding in the end I guess.

Also they have a calendar you can check for boosts and release days, Void Auras are next Thursday by their timezone.

How are you supposed to get relevant equipment for your level in this? Seems like item drops are mostly random and/or useless and shop items cost an arm.

I don't know know about must have, I haven't really come across that many quests locked to DA along the main path yet and the ones I did don't seem important. You lose out on your dragon pet who is extremely good + I'm pretty sure story relevant Dragon vs Titan combat (or at least all of the dragon skills). You get Dragonlord class with the amulet and a lot of equipment drops you get will be unusable without it, but it isn't really mandatory.

Anyway you start with Oracle for free which is generally better than the starting classes. Dragonslayer used to be an easy to get solo class for beginners too iirc, Pyromancer > Blaze Binder upgrade is a good class that unlocks stuff later too. And if you don't mind obtaining things out of order Blood Sorceress is technically a mistake class but it only requires you to reach a level 50 boss and farm a drop from them, so you can just ask a high level player to transport you to Groglurk and kill it for you.

Guardian is a pseudo-Chrono in groups since the nuke "rifts" scales with number of players
It's a glass cannon though, especially solo with -60~85% damage resistance and no dodge
Best enhancements are Ravenous/Vim/Avarice, switch to Vainglory if buffed or potting
Spiral Carve has similar solo DPS, but it's less consistent and has even worse sustain

haha... i do, i even made a whole list of things i want: https://pastebin.com/hGuwU9sM
i'm just wondering if a 'practical' item is more worth it to help me catch up.
Anonymous No.3837934 >>3837947
>>3837867
hmm from the items in it I'll give you my 2 cents on the ones you'll regret getting:
1. Silent-wanderer will suck becasue of running animation of robe armors.
2. I wouldn't get weapons since they feel like weaker pick compared to armors and chests.
3. There is Black Friday 2024 Collection with Cyber assasin of shadows, but I guess you could hate that type of recolors (same with Cyber DeathHunter)

But I'm Big fan of TLPD 2021 pick, I think I will get this one with my IoDA too, but as I said before the value is huge only if you swap the gear you show up from time to time.
Anonymous No.3837935 >>3837947

For practical ones it's hard to tell. Before new daily (Wrong Turn at Voidbuquerque) which gives 7 blood gems, I would say it's worth it. But now I personally wouldn't use IoDA on it and just farm nulgath normally.

And if you find other items and want feedback on them, feel free to share again.

You could also IoDA some rly old (talking like 2010-15 or so) and rare armor that has no duplicates yet and you could see yourself wearing all the time. Maybe cc, so it fits all other gear you get. And now you have permanent set.

maybe i'll just stick to the dailies and hold out on getting a pet then. to be honest the only nation grind that looks annoying is void highlord, but i can skip a lot of it with the ultra boss when my level is high enough.

>>3837934
>Black Friday 2024 Collection
i somehow missed that one. that looks like one of the biggest collections, too. i'll add it to the list and let it simmer before making a choice.
for weapons, i really do like the vordred blade though. it even has a custom attacking animation. but like you said, it feels like a weaker pick since i could get 62 (recolorable) weapons from a collection chest instead.

NCP - daily 10 BG or 40 DCS/Taint
OBON (mem) - doubles effectiveness of Tainted Core but is otherwise weak, popular because it has a lot of old items
Astral/Crimson Hanzo - high drop rates on everything, but low payout

Yeah it's just most people hate black friday ones since they want new stuff and not recolors, but if you're cool with it, this one is nice (Cyber General Neesha is my fav female armor)

Can you even check fps in aqw?
Anonymous No.3839356 >>3839547
>>3839259
It's possible it's not ping related issues. I am not the smartest computer guy, but iirc AQW uses only one CPU (or core whatever it's called) to run everything. The specs of your PC aren't really going to matter that much outside of that, even a pc that can run modern unoptimized AAA games on Ultra settings will still struggle to not get slowdown.
You could try playing AQW at the highest traffic hours near the Fridays, and the lowest mid week to get a feel for how much ping affects you I suppose. Maybe you could do some magic with the task manager and priorities like the magic that happens with Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires when you force it to use one core.

>but iirc AQW uses only one CPU (or core
i heard this too, but i don't understand how people can run the game so well on their PC's when mine struggles.
>you could do some magic with the task manager and priorities
i tried setting priority higher but that didn't help, then i tried setting certain AQW processes to a core that wasn't being used (pic related: left side is AQW running normally, right side has the processes set to certain cores). this just caps out my CPU core and makes it lag even more.

in options just search 'fps' and there's a 'display fps' option. flash is capped at 24 fps.

The only other things I can think of are adjusting the size of your actual window (not the resolution), right clicking the screen to change the Flash settings on or off like hardware acceleration and making sure your cache is always clear.

i've had hardware acceleraiton on, but turning it off makes me go from 10fps to 7fps in busy areas.

when i started playing and heard about infinity i was very excited (purely because it will mean getting smooth fps) but now i don't think it's ever coming

>>3839588
>Ok but for real, have you tried other servers with less people?
doesn't seem to make any difference on my end.
the problem is that i need to be in servers/rooms with people to do ultras. having to taunt and time heals on ultras with 10 fps is almost unplayable. having to turn off all animations and make other players invisible is the only crutch, but it's very lame and i hate it.

You can try asking support kek. Like send them video from your end and fragment from other video/stream.
But I usually just turn off animations for others on maglor, since it's the only boss where I can miss stuff.
Do you lag in cutscenes too or just ultras?
Anonymous No.3839622

even with animations turned off i hit 10 fps in fights.
