Can someone explain to me simply how my alts are supposed to help me get to score 1100 when the alt will be at the GS after the two knowledge transfers?
Mine was able to feed my main once, right at the very last hone. It probably made a day worth of difference. Had I had more than 2 alts, it might've worked out better.

You take the *tradeable* guardian stone fragments, destruction stone fragments, star's breath, and T1 leapstones that your alt is getting, and you sell all that shit on the AH and use the proceeds to buy T2 stones, breaths, and leapstones that you're missing.

Honestly, I haven't found alts to really be that much of a "boost" tbh - in regards to honing. You shave off a day, maybe two if they're in the same "tier" as your main. It's far better to just sell their mats and capitalize on the busted economy IMO.

Well it said to T2, not in T2, but even then you can level to like 840 or even 880 withough losing much since the costs for these upgrades are so low anyway, the 20% shards will be barely noticeable, and you can get more mats that way.
Hmm my stronghold is L19 - when does that open up because i know i did something regarding resources before.

The sooner you get those alts to t2, the faster they can feed each other to tier 3, where you're really going to want those extra mats every day. Plus, you don't really notice how helpful they are at first, because of all the island mats in tier 1 and 2.

I have 1 of my alts in T2 and 4 more sitting at 460. Will probably push them all up to T2 in the next week and pay for the knowledge transfers because gold is plentiful and time is not. Literally raining gold selling all the extra mats.

At the pace I'm going it feels like getting ALL of them to T3 is going to be easily doable by the time the next content update is released.

Alts have plenty of uses, but for feeding mats - its purely about feeding mats in tier 3. Tier 1 and 2 are just a hiccup in the grand scheme.

So I can rush and sit on my ass waiting for Argos? You'd be a fool not to sell your T3 mats in this inflated economy. Especially since mats will get cheaper and cheaper as more and more people get into T3. Worst case, you just buy back the mats when the prices drop. On top of that, they'll probably do another "catch up" addition when Argos does release.

I spent 14k pushing my last couple pieces to 15 for tier 3. And I have a lawmaker's chest that I paid 2k for and they are currently selling for like 15k. I have 2 alts in t2 and my first alt account is at 580 GS.

I'm down bad after converting almost 50k to BC.

Oof. Im glad I cashed my gold out when I did. Im sitting on 21k BC for about the same transfer of gold. :oops:
Yeah, I wish I had been on the train earlier, but I took too much time hitting T3 because of Elden Ring/work.
