Well, I got 12 challenges complete. I think I will try to get to lvl 100 for the first time now. The 24/36 challenge grind seems like it would be annoying this late in league.

Getting 39/40 is less of a grind that going to 100 is lol.

Yeah. I can’t be fucked to do 36 or go past 95 on a character. I’d still prefer 36 over 100!

not sure when league ends, but shouldn’t we be hearing it soon?

Remember it's a marathon not a sprint, if you want to you can take your atlas down from 8 with the fog.

I pre- roll my maps for the 100 grind, something nice about looking at 2-3 quad tabs full of maps and then just banging them out in rows. Try not to roll maps with layouts where you can get trapped and then roll something like nemesis on it - that kind of thing bites you in the ass pretty quickly. I think the hardest part of getting to 100 is learning how mods interact with your character and knowing what maps and mods to bail on and what to run.

Delves good for a bit if you get bored (likely) and Simulacrums nice xp too if you can handle the 20 waves comfortably. The best breachstones to run are Chayula which are pretty nice solo.

Good luck!

I have no idea what this means. The last league where I filled out my Atlas had the old style.

I have one Watchstone from Baran so far. I'm not really sure which section I am supposed to put it, if that matters.

I just got a 2nd area Influenced with the green guardian.

I don't seem to be able to get any maps T6+ to drop.

Also, the maps I'm currently running keep giving me a warning about being too low to spawn guardian influence. But I don't have any maps above T5 yet.

I figured as you were going to try for 100 that your atlas would be at awakening level 8 with all the watchstones completed. I don't spose it matters if you don't.

Ahh Ok. I found a good guide that explains this new Atlas system, so that should help me. Looks like I need to just farm T1 - T3 for a while to unlock the towers.

Mostly they are scamming.

But a few of them are doing it for XP yea. It's the fastest/safest way to grind 100, but is very expensive, so the idea is to rotate who buys the stones so each person only floats 1/4th the cost or however many people there are.

You can do 95-96ish on any build just playing normally, but past that unless you literally never die progress will get real slow.

They cost something dumb like 2ex each and it'll take like 50+ of them in a decent rotation to get 100.

This is how it feels xp wise if you are grinding and running high tier content t14+. So if you maintain a steady pace and run the same content over and over.

95= 100 mil an hour
96= 75 mil an hour
97= 50 mil an hour
98= 25 mil an hour
99= 12.5 mil an hour

The xp penalty just kicks in hard at 97+ and the levels get a fair bit longer in the amount of xp required. Level 99 feels like its own entity as it's sort of like doing 1-99 xp wise.

Right. Thanks for the info. My highest in s previous league was 91, and I wasn't really pushing. But I do remember deaths at that point feeling really rough.

Me defences feel like they are in a good spot now at 82. It's just the random 1-shots that suck. Very few and far between now though.

I'm starting the get the hang of this new Atlas. I have killed all 4 conquerors now. I have like 6 watchstones so far and working my way up the tiers. Made lvl 86 last night, hoping to hit 90 tonight.

On a CWDT - Immortal Call set up, what is the ideal threshold level for CWDT to fire?

Something like 33% - 50% of your HP?

I'm thinking it's not good to have really low CWDT, as it will fire the IC cooldown on relatively small incoming hits. We only want IC to fire on those big spikes that are likely to 1-shot.

Right?

Depends on what you're playing. If you're playing a high hp char with lots of armour, reliable end charge generation then it's good at max level. If not then you wanna keep it low or use something else.

If you're playing Jugg then yeah take IC.
