What exactly does that mean?

The amount of stats you got from Advanced Honing was a "fixed" amount based on T3 stats when it came out. So a 1670+10 would have less stats than a 1680 from normal honing.

Example: AH +10 for the weapon is +4185 weapon power, AH +20 is another +4470
But Aegir 17 and 18 would give +3004 and +3110 so you would gain 6114 honing the normal way versus 4185 from AH.
Then Aegir 19 and 20 are +3219 and +3331 yielding 6550 vs 4470

Remember that Kazeros will introduce 20 more advanced honing levels. The Strike Raid HM is overcapped at 1740 so the aim is to be 1700+20AH now

AIn't no one 1740 right now. Whales are 1700-1710. Honing is no longer the method of achieving whalehood as it doesn't really highlight an increase in power. You gain a HUGE DPS boost at 1680 as it unlocks ancient accessories & ancient bracelets, you gain the ability to do Brel hard at 1690 (and thus unlock additional shit quicker). 1700 is where you're passed 99.9% of players honing wise and anything above that is stupid territory. A real whale will however shit on me when it comes to relic books and the costs of these are insane.

I'll have this achieved on Vold for the release with ease. I have not honed Vold in 4-5 months. I am sitting on over 10k bound leaps on him but I'll likely only push to ~1710 because it's such a waste to do more.

Book refunds for the missing 20% gold return from the Express have gone out. 30-60k depending on your honing luck.

Haven’t played much since Brel prog (which was a great week - I wasn’t planning to do HM but I met some people at the end of wk1 in NM and did HM wk2), just banging out 12 raids a week in 6-9h, but really enjoying the game when I play. It’s so nice to be mostly done with all the junk systems and just raid (+ rested chaos, which is ok).

Things seem good but slow atm - I reckon we’ll get Rimeria late April, raid late June? Maybe they nerfed Brel too much in the meantime, 28% nerf + 10%+ karma damage gain is really something. If my timeline is right I reckon honing main to full 19 armor 1705-1710 somewhere will be doable before AH21-40?

Did one music box story but questing is dog in this game so I’m probably just going to skip this stuff.

That latest p2w pack got me also, closing in on 24 set Earth and I’d really like to have it for the next raid…

March 26, April 23 (Event guardian end), May 21 (Mokoko bootcamp end) are the known patch dates. Rimeria, 1700 chaos/guardian, Kazeros raid, new island, Strike raid, Female paladin class is what KR already got since LOAON. I could see Rimeria April and then Kazeros May letting them cash shop stuff going into summer for raids, then cash shop June/July for honing sales giving enough supports for the eventual strike raid.

Frog is such a disappointment. They had a chance to do something cool with it and instead it's basically just +1 relic engraving for 150k. The bonus mats were needed though and are amazing, especially knowing that AH is going to get nerfed soon. It's going to let me get all my alts to 1690 with bound mats only. In a few weeks I'll start pushing Vold and might get him to ~1720ish with good accessories but my relic books will continue to fall behind since I can't justify the cost.
