Not sure what the node investment without changing characters means, unless we're going to be getting a family pool for energy in some way. The permanent node investment level is really nice, and finally...we get pots in family inventory. I imagine PA is pushing themselves to get Ulukita fully done and balanced.

I am hoping it means, I dont have to log in each of my 12ish characters one at a time, invest the energy and then switch. Now I can invest all their energy from a UI screen while staying on main character.

The node investment staying even if you withdrawl seems amazing. Since I had a lot of invest in weird grind spots over the years, but this should free up a lot of contribution, if I can keep that node level but move the contribution investment else where. Almost do a rotating investmest. Pick a node, invest in it to max level, then uninvest and move to another.

The penalty for it as far as I recall is that is consumes energy to invest in a node without being there. I think it was 10 energy per investment, dont think there was a monetary cost, but I could be wrong.

I decided to rush a season character here at the ass end of the season. Never played a Kuno before but wanted a hula hoop, so far it's fun. Trying Zindan's Gahaz rotation to grind 57+ for a bit before my inevitable Chenga questing, very nice so far. I usually end up at desert fogans on season characters but trying to mix it up a bit this time around.

Wait, I missed that part. So theoretically you could eventually max every single node? Holy shit that'd be awesome.

No reason to do Chenga now with a Season character, imo. With the current 400% xo buff you could stay at Gahaz til 61, though I would move to Fogans at 59. You'll hit 61 there really quickly even with a small rotation, the respawn is really fast. Then go back to Gahaz and make some silver.

So I'm looking at playing this again in the near future, but not right now as I have stuff to finish in the current game I'm playing. However with the current season approaching its end, I figure I might as well look into collecting free shit for the future.

From what I understood, I can collect the free PEN capotia accessory from season without actually doing anything, by just talking to Fughar(well apparently lvl to 20 but that's like 10mins)? Like the one that's capped to one per family thing. I saw there's another way to get PEN capotia and that's via the 21 crystals of balance guaranteed upgrade, and that during season you can fish some stuff that exchange for those crystals. Does that have a lvl req? Could I just fish a couple of nights, then get a 2nd pc of Capotia without actually having to do anything in the season? I should have a TRI capotia acc from last time I played and reached 61 or 62 or whatever to upgrade.

That'd be quite helpful for later.

I was checking a video from EvilDoUsHarm on it the other day and apparently you can fish them even on a non seasonal char though, so you can use your main to fish them, or at least that's what it seemed. Otherwise it's fine if it takes a few days of night fishing, it's not like I'd be looking at it anyway.

But even if I can't that'd be fine I'm more interested in the other one which is a season reward specifically, that one I can get without doing any season objective yeah? Just lvl to 20, talk to Fughar for early graduation reward or whatever and then done? If I do it now I could wait 30days to play again and get the returner bonus again by the time I start playing for next season so that'd be great.

Oh right the desert has piece of shit mechanics right, last time I played was during covid so we had perma desert reduction or whatever it was, never actually played with full desert. Hmm guess I'll have to think about it, I guess eventually you can just buy another horse too.

Man installing this game is taking fucking forever, I hate how Steam takes years decoding files or whatever the fuck it's doing. Thought I'd get it done quickly but it's probably been an hour just installing after it's done downloading(which itself took a while cause the game's like 55gb but that's not that bad).

Seems I had sent various twitch shit rewards to the wrong account too so that's not great but well, it is what it is, I would have needed to log in to claim most of it before expiration dates anyway so not a huge deal.

Edit: Got my shit setup, hit 20 on seasonal and got a pen capotia piece, now fishing for the stuff to get the 2nd piece, straightforward stuff so far no issue. There's so much garbage in all my various inventories though gonna be a pain in the ass to sort through all that crap eventually.

Couple questions, the season pass rewards, you can only claim them on the season char right? So might as well claim everything.

And for the free dream horse, which one would be better for general purpose? Pegasus? Since it flies it seemed like the most interesting but not sure about the one that goes fast and does fire things.
