Kharox - Lore based playthrough V1.5

Image
 So long Lucid Hello Arcana In today's post, I aim to go over the process that got me to kill Hard Lucid, starting from the spot I was at in the previous post a couple of months back. Let's look at the previous post's goals to see how much has changed: Now for the favorite part of the post - goals: Abso shoulder to 21* Full Lucid Arcanes At least 60% more drop rate from accessories A good Oz ring Android The main realization is that getting Arcane gear alone will not be enough to kill P3 Lucid. As I got stronger, I find myself reaching a point where the number of realistic upgrades I can make becomes much smaller. Because of that, I decided to invest a lot of mesos into getting as much %drop as possible. This way, while I am stuck in what could potentially become an endless purgatory of RNG, I can at least improve my odds of obtaining something useful. Weeks passed by, and the damage was simply not enough. The room for improvement grew smaller, and I was in desperate need ...

  Hello Everyone, I have a lot of things to cover and some changes I'd like to go over in today's post. Let's go over character upgrades, which pushed my combat power to 18M from the previous 10M. I finally finished the Lach symbol, and with that, I no longer do Lach dailies. I also stopped leveling, as there's no reason to push past 235 after getting the extra damage on Lucid. (I also want to experience Esfera once we get there). Here's my V matrix currently : As you can see, I'm done with most of my skills, still missing Weapon Aura and Blink for the extra damage, and HS, which I will cover in a later section of the post. Fountain will be leveled at a later stage, as I don't really need it with the bosses I'm currently fighting. *Note for myself - Don't forget to get a special node for the HLucid fight. Now let's talk about some of the gear upgrades from the recent SSF: 21* Abso Helmet 21* Abso Suit 27% STR I want to remind you that the AU shou...

  1 life 23 min normal lucid run Oh boy I got a big one for y'all.  We are offically on the grind towards arcane gear!  As you know, in order to leave lach I need to kill hard lucid, realizing how difficult that would be, Ive decided to push hard in multiple diractions in attempt to squeeze as much damage as I can while also being resourceful. let's look together at the previous post's goals : In order to sum up the post until the next one, here are the goals I wish to achieve:  1. Lucid is a level 230 boss, to deal maximum damage I need to be atleast level 235. 2. Maxing out Lach symbol in order to deal more damage to lucid.  3. Getting full absolab set 17* 2L stats possibly unique.   Lachelein used to scale up to the low 230s, but that is no longer the case, grinding past 230 is very slow. I do enjoy the revelation place 2 map so I dont really mind. currently missing 4% fd for being 2 levels from 235.  Level 19 symbol, one more to go Also m...

  Whats good ? I have progressed alot and we still have alot to acomplish so lets dive right in. I'll try to not make this post too messy. As you can see, I'm now on Lachelein and have finished my Chuchu symbol. Lach is a big deal because in order to get pass this place I need to kill Hlucid. And for that we must get stronger.  Acording to the last post's goals, we did manage to get the full empress set which is now all 17* with 3% STR, we also obtained the black bean mark which is now 20* unique with 9% STR. Together with the mark we hit legendery with 2 useful lines on our emblem and secendery, helping us push our combat power above 3M. and 12% str A good flame aswell 21% ATT With this power creep let's take a look at the bossing department:  As you can tell Magnus is officially down as we managed to kill the Hard version. Although you can't see it in this picture, we currently are running Nlomien back to back in order to get AbsoLab which will be our main focus i...

Kharox - Lore based playthrough V1.1

  Hello, here's an update ; As you can see I've aquired the ifia noble ring and berserker's eternal ring, and got lucky with a sick dominator pendant on my 2nd run. I still need to farm around 30ish pieces of times to get the guardian's eternal ring, it will replace the Ephina's ring.  Also, I got level 10 vanishing journey symbol, meaning we have atleast two months before getting to Chuchu Island, if we come across easy symbols using events that'll be great, unfortunately no good events for that currently.  Behind the scenes I'm working on getting the full Empress set, which is BTW my absolute favourite looking gear in the game.  Let's see the bossing progress aswell. I'm still not strong enough to challange Hmag or CRA.  I do believe that with 17* full empress gear I can even take down normal Lomien. That's it for now, thanks for reading.
