As we all know, Monopoly GO is a simple board game without various game characters and fierce battles. In order to improve the stickiness and fun of the game, Monopoly GO has launched a seasonal limited edition sticker album.

Players can redeem generous prizes such as Monopoly GO Dice, Cash, new Shields and Board Tokens through Sticker Album. Each Sticker Album contains many sets of stickers, each set contains 9 stickers, and the rarity of stickers increases from common One-Star to rare Five-Star Stickers to Gold Stickers.Although Gold Stickers can only be traded during the Golden Blitz in Monopoly GO, we can also find these rare stickers through other methods-get Purple Packs. Purple Packs contain rare Five-Star Stickers or Gold Stickers, so the difficulty coefficient of obtaining them is the highest among all sticker packs.

So, this guide will show you how to work on getting more Purple Packs.

Minigames

Monopoly GO has a lot of Minigames, like Peg-E’s Sticker Drop, Treasure Hunt, Partner Events, and Tycoon Racers. You can play these games to get rewards, like Monopoly GO Dice, extra Cash, and the much-anticipated Purple Packs.

Stickers For Rewards

Because each sticker pack randomly drops different stickers, players often collect a lot of duplicate stickers. You can exchange these duplicate stickers for “Sticker Stars” and then participate in Stickers for Rewards to unlock safes.

Usually, Blue and Purple Sticker Packs are mixed in the last safe, which is the largest safe you can open. But it should be noted that you need to have at least 700 Sticker Stars to unlock this safe.

Milestone Rewards

It is well known that Monopoly GO often holds Hosts Solo Events and Tournaments. Milestones often appear in these themed and challenging events. Obviously, participating in these events frequently will have the potential to win the much-anticipated Purple Packs.

Community Chest

To participate in the daily mini-game Community Chest, you need to gather at least five game friends, otherwise it is locked. Even if you invite enough friends to participate in this game, you may not necessarily get Purple Packs, because we still need to get nine keys with difficulty.

But the good news is that this is a daily mini-game, which means that we can gather friends regularly to try to get Purple Packs.

Quick Wins

This method is relatively easy to get Purple Packs. You only need to complete some simple tasks easily within 24 hours. The more tasks you complete, the faster the weekly progress bar grows. Once the progress bar is full, you will win the grand prize.

Of course, this grand prize is usually Purple Pack you have been thinking about. However, the weekly progress bar is not available every day, it is fixed and restarted every week. As long as you actively participate, you can get a Purple Pack almost every week.

If you feel that the above activities still cannot satisfy your urgency to get Purple Pack quickly and efficiently, there is another trading method for you.

Trading In Tycoon Club

You can enjoy specific discounts when trading Purple Pack on Tycoon Club, because Tycoon Club is Premium Loyalty Program of Monopoly GO. And trading on Tycoon Club, you can also get Loyalty Points, and Loyalty Points can be exchanged for prizes, such as Monopoly GO Dice, safes or cosmetics. Therefore, trading Purple Pack through Tycoon Club is also a very cost-effective way.

In addition, you can also spin Tycoon Mega Wheel to get Purple Packs randomly. Of course, Tycoon Mega Wheel requires 2,500 Diamonds to pry it open.

This guide introduces various possible ways to obtain Purple Pack. I hope it can give you some useful inspiration so that you can quickly obtain Sticker Album to receive generous gifts, enrich your collection, and enhance your gaming fun.

In CoD Black Ops 6 released some time ago, not only did the players’ favorite zombie mode return but also brought a lot of weapon types. But if you want to deal with all the battles with fast reactions, then the most classic SMGs will be your best choice. These weapons that exist in multiple Call of Duty series games have powerful power, amazing firing rate and extreme mobility, allowing you to cause extraordinary chaos in close combat.

Whether you want to take the lead in narrow alleys or want to attack enemies from hidden corners like a shadow in a wide open area, SMGs are your best key helpers. But there are so many SMGs in the game at this stage. How do you choose what's best for you? Don’t worry, this guide will introduce you to several best SMGs according to different game styles, so that you can find the right one and reduce the time and energy cost of trying.

1. Tanto .22

First, let’s introduce Tanto .22. It is not actually a submachine gun that can be used for sweeping, but a good helper for players who like single-shot shooting. It not only has stable power in medium-range shooting but also can help you complete most of the battles in close combat, because it does not rely on brute force, but uses its own accuracy and stability to make you shine.

Although Tanto .22 is a little slower than other more powerful SMGs to fire rate, its low recoil and reliable damage output perfectly make up for this shortcoming. Therefore, Tanto .22 will be more suitable for players who value the accuracy of weapons rather than just want to mess up the battlefield. If you practice this SMG to perfection in CoD: Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies, it may become a very deadly precision weapon in your hands.

2. C9

There are many SMGs in Black Ops 6 that have very cool appearances, but C9 is an exception. Although it does not look outstanding enough, it is your first choice in close combat! If you’ve studied the C9, you’ll know that its attributes aren’t particularly outstanding in isolation, but don’t let that stop you from dismissing it: both new players and seasoned veterans will be amazed by its ease of use and balanced performance.

C9 has a firing rate of 732 rpm (Rounds Per Minute), which is medium among SMGs. In addition, it is also better than Jackal PDW and Tanto .22 in terms of continuous shooting, which is convenient for you to launch a continuous attack on the enemy. But if you want it to be more powerful, you can equip it with a Reinforced Barrel, which will increase your firing rate and range in medium-range combat.

3. PP-919

First of all, it should be noted that you need to reach level 37 and above to unlock PP-919, but its powerful damage ability is definitely worth your wait. Although PP-919 is a weapon focused on close combat, if you choose some appropriate accessories for it, it can also perform well in medium-range combat.

Because each player’s play style is different, you can try this PP-919 multiple times in Bot Lobbies to find out the attachments suit you best. In addition, if you want to have faster reaction time in some chaotic moments, you can equip CQB Grip on this weapon to give it a sprint shooting speed.

Once you easily solve the above minor problems, PP-919’s biggest advantage - the oversized basic magazine will bring you extraordinary continuous shooting pleasure and save the trouble of repeated reloading.

4. Jackal PDW

Among the many SMGs, if you want to choose one that is both maneuverable and powerful, then Jackal PDW deserves it. It can be like a sprinter with super fast speed, or like a sniper with very deadly accuracy, all depending on the situation you use it.

In addition, its very subtle recoil allows you to maintain pinpoint accuracy while shooting on the move without having to use a wide range. Its initial state can clear small groups of enemies at close and medium range, but if you choose some suitable loadouts for it, it can also handle longer-range engagements.

5. KSV

If you want to choose the perfect SMG, then I would highly recommend KSV, which is very focused on accuracy and speed. When equipped with the right loadouts, it will become the most powerful weapon in your hands that can easily tear apart the enemy. This is perfect for players who like to be aggressive on the battlefield, because KSV’s super fast firing rate and minimal recoil can make you invincible in battle.

But if you want to make KSV even stronger, you can also use Ported Compensator muzzle to control the horizontal recoil of this weapon, so that your shooting accuracy will be higher. Or if you want to keep your shooting stable while moving, you can choose Vertical Foregrip Underbarrel for it.

These are the best SMGs for different play styles in Call of Duty Black Ops 6. I hope you can choose the weapon that suits you best with the help of this guide and use it to explore more content in the game. I wish you a happy game!

In this guide, we'll cover 6 new game-changing features and basic gameplay improvements in Path of Exile 2, as well as the gaming experience these features bring.

With Path of Exile 2’s Early Access release coming on December 6, we’ve learned about the plethora of changes Grinding Gear Games has made to this new sequel. The team has used community feedback to not only improve the basic gameplay of the game, but also refined every aspect of the gameplay.

When previewing Path of Exile 2 trailer, you’ve noticed some substantial changes that not only help players simplify the onboarding process but also have the potential to completely change the rules of the game, allowing POE 2 to inherit the popularity of the previous game and become a true sequel. Here, we’re going to talk about the 6 key features we’ve learned so far in POE 2. Let’s get started!

Dodge Roll

First and foremost, it’s worth paying attention to a brand new mechanic, Dodge Roll. This update is a major improvement to the basic gameplay of the game. In this long-awaited sequel, Dodge Roll has no cooldown, so you can use this skill as much as you want. The introduction of this feature makes dodging no longer a passive click, making the dodging mechanism in POE 2 more different from before, improving the player’s gaming experience and making players affirm their precise gaming skills.

Moving While Attacking

GGG pays attention to details in game updates. In POE 1, players must stop to perform attack skills, but in Path Of Exile 2, players can attack while moving. This allows players to combine movement with Dodge Roll to maximize damage output. At the same time, the seamless connection and smoothness of the action are one of the important factors that attract players.

Enemy And Boss Design

In addition, players will face many difficulties in playing PoE 2. Powerful enemies will hinder the player’s progress. For example, long-range enemies are likely to team up with melee attackers, greatly increasing the damage range. But if you are attacked by many monsters, the intelligent AI in the game will prompt you to stay alert. It’s not all bad though, as you’ll have the chance to earn a ton of POE2 Currency while facing a ton of monsters ambushing you, which can be exchanged for some special gear in the game to maximize your character’s potential.

Although every boss fight in PoE 2 is a huge challenge for the developers, the developers have implemented superior boss fight design in their way. GGG’s AI boss design makes the game difficult to play against. Defeating these monsters will give you the feeling of beating Elden Ring boss for the first time, and the smart game design makes replaying the game much easier.

Microtransaction Carry-Over

In addition, it’s worth noting that Grinding Gear Games has announced that the microtransaction feature can transfer currency items from previous games to the account of the upcoming PoE 2, so you don’t have to worry about wasting your hard-earned property. In addition to this news, the company said: Fans who invest more than $500 in the original game will get PoE 2 Early Access for free. This move shows Grinding Gear Games’ commitment to thanking fans for their support and loyalty over the years, and celebrates the dedication of the games community.

Couch Co-Op

Path of Exile fans have long asked for couch co-op play, and a new feature in Path of Exile 2 fulfills that need. With the release of the new sequel, players can use two characters from one account to adventure through the world of Wraeclast, without having to create separate accounts for each player who wants to enjoy the game together.

This feature allows your friends and family to join forces to play a game together by simply connecting a second controller. This change not only enhances the game experience, but also fosters mutual affection.

Cross-Platform Confirmed

No matter which platform the game is played on, fans will be able to enjoy the game with their friends. In addition to this, characters can be played on PC and immediately taken over on consoles, and conversely characters can be played on consoles and immediately taken over on PC.

Path of Exile 2 will open an early access version on December 6, with more than a week left before release, and will be available to you soon. Grinding Gear Games has also listened to the opinions of fans and audiences to make improvements. I believe the new game will make everyone’s eyes shine!

In Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, many things are added that are not in the base game, and Thiollier’s Hidden Needle is no exception. In addition to adding new weapons and spells, it also adds a brand new status effect, Eternal Sleep. Eternal Sleep is a little different from the previous normal sleep effect. Eternal Sleep can be triggered by using either Velvet Sword of St. Trina or Thiollier’s Hidden Needle.

Although Thiollier’s Hidden Needle is useless in PVE mode, because most bosses in the DLC are resistant to sleep or Eternal Sleep effects. But in PVP mode, when it is used with Thiollier’s Hidden Needle’s ash of war Sleep Evermore, it is absolutely invincible.

But for a weapon, the effect it can produce depends on the build you make for it. So this guide will give you a detailed introduction on how to choose the best build for Thiollier’s Hidden Needle.

Best Attribute Distribution

Before choosing a build, you need to know that Thiollier’s Hidden Needle is mainly developed through Dexterity, and then Intelligence. So in terms of attributes, you need to first increase Dexterity to 70, and then invest the remaining skill points in Intelligence to maximize your damage.

In addition, you also need to know that Ash of War does not consume a lot of your FP, so you only need to invest 10 points in Mind. But if you want to integrate spells into your build, you can consider investing a little more.

In Faith attribute, you can invest 25 points to reach the minimum requirement of Golden Vow. But if you don’t need this buff in daily tasks and exploration, you can choose to ignore it. You can use Uplifting Aromatic instead. Here are the minimum points you need to make sure you have for each attribute before building:

• Vigor 40
• Endurance 24
• Mind 10
• Strength 10
• Dexterity 70
• Intelligence 40
• Faith 25
• Arcane 10

Best Gear

After choosing your attributes, you will start to choose some gear that can be matched with Thiollier’s Hidden Needle. Many players will ask, why should it be matched with other weapons? Can’t it be used alone?

Obviously not, because the effect of using Thiollier’s Hidden Needle alone is not good, first because it has a short range, and second because it can only cause a small amount of Eternal Sleep effect when used alone. Therefore, when it is used with the right items and weapons, it will be easier to get Elden Ring Runes.

Here are the weapons and items you can choose to match it with in the DLC.

Velvet Sword of St. Trina

When you use Velvet Sword of St. Trina, it will project a cloud that will put the target into Eternal Sleep. You can switch to Thiollier’s Hidden Needle and use its Ash of War to defeat the enemy.

Spread Crossbow

For this weapon, you can put it in your off-hand. This way, when you use it in combat, each shot will fire multiple arrows. Combined with Thiollier’s Hidden Needle in your dominant hand, you can kill enemies faster when they enter Eternal Sleep.

Eternal Sleep Pot

In the DLC, many ritual pots were added, one of which is Eternal Sleep Pot. This Elden Ring Item allows you to throw 10 pots at once to cause the sleep effect.

Best Talisman

Since Thiollier’s Hidden Needle can cause Eternal Sleep, you can choose some amulets in the DLC that can also cause this effect, or amulets that help you increase the effect. For example, Shard of Alexander, St. Trina’s Smile, Ritual Sword Talisman, and Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman.

Although Companion Jar can help you increase the damage caused by throwing jars, it does not increase the accumulation of Eternal Sleep status, so you can ignore it in this build.

Best Wondrous Physik Mixture

It should be noted here that Wondrous Physik is not very useful for this build, so you can use any crystal tear you like.

But this definitely does not mean that there are no best choices. You can choose Opaline Hardtear and Opaline Bubbletear to enhance your defense, or Greenburst Crystal Tear is also a very good auxiliary item.

How To Use The Build?

After you have selected all your weapons, items and attributes, you can start using your build. First, you need to equip Spread Crossbow in your off-hand and bring Sleepbone bolts. This way, you can quickly put the enemy target to sleep.

In some cases, you can also use sleep pots and ritual sleep pots. You must remember that the first priority is to put the enemy player to sleep or sleep forever.

Once the state is in effect, you can equip Thiollier’s Hidden Needle in both hands and use its Ash of War to hit the enemy. This will cause a lot of damage to their health, and finally a heavy hit will kill them.

After understanding the construction of Thiollier’s Hidden Needle, have you opened the steps in this guide to change your build step by step? I hope it can help you when you use Thiollier’s Hidden Needle in combat. Wish you a happy game!

Elden Ring has added a lot of powerful weapons in this latest DLC, but have you tried the strong additions to the colossal sword class in the game? This category includes Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, Moonrithyll’s Knight Sword, and Fire Knight’s Greatsword we are talking about today.

In this weapon category, Fire Knight’s Greatsword stands out from the crowd because of its powerful moves and some unique abilities. It has the light attack combination of the legendary Godslayer Greatsword, the classic stabbing attack of the giant sword, and the lightweight characteristics of the iconic Zweihander.

But the rarity of this excellent weapon is also its only drawback. You can only find it on rare Fire Knights in Shadow Keep. Once you have it, you can make a pretty perfect build around it, making your entire character more powerful. Before creating a build, you need to have 22 Strength, 18 Dexterity, and 12 Faith. This guide will show you how to make the most powerful build around Fire Knight’s Greatsword.

Best Affinity And Stats

Fire Knight’s Greatsword has a special feature that it can get extra damage from fire-related Ashes of War or Grease. This means that it can also be blessed with flame incantation. So you need to infuse flame when making a build, which can greatly increase the power of this weapon.

Similarly, Flame is the best affinity for Fire Knight’s Greatsword because it is highly correlated with Faith stat. So you can prioritize flame, and other infusions may not be as useful for this weapon.

Ideally, you should end up with 60 Faith so that you can get Flame affinity. If this stat is not reached, you can try the following 60 Strength, both of which will greatly increase the attack power of Fire Knight’s Greatsword. Don’t overdo it though, as the benefits of one of these two attributes start to diminish after your attribute is above 60.

If you have a Strength, Faith, or hybrid Strength-Faith build, then Fire and Flame affinities are your best bet. For some enemies that are resistant to fire, switching to a Heavy or Sacred affinity can be a big help. They will also allow you to defeat enemies more easily and obtain Elden Ring Runes faster.

Best Ashes Of War

In Fire Knight’s Greatsword, you have access to a variety of powerful Ashes of War. As mentioned above, Flame infusion does more damage, so you should prioritize Ashes of War that deal fire damage, provide fire infusion, and have a Fire or Flame affinity. In the DLC, you can choose between Ash of War Flame Spear and Ash of War Flame Skewer.

Both of these Ashes of War are Flame affinity Ashes of War that are very powerful in Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree. In contrast, Flame Spear has a longer range and can launch a stabbing attack to close the distance between you and the enemy, allowing you to defeat enemies more easily while keeping a safe distance. You can also use Elden Ring Runes to enhance your Ashes of War, so you may have an easier time in combat.

Flame Skewer is a fire variant of Giant Hunt skill with a follow-up attack. Both of these provide you with additional fire damage, the former lasting 15 seconds and the latter lasting 45 seconds.

In addition, you can choose between Flame of Redmanes, Lion’s Claw, Savage Lion’s Claw, and Cragblade. Flame of Redmanes provides you with AOE fire attack, Lion’s Claw and Savage Lion’s Claw both provide you with High attack and stance damage. The last Cragblade can increase your physical attack and stance damage.

If you find some better equipment than the items recommended in this guide during the game, you can find Elden Ring player community in Discord and express your opinions there. IGGM Discord will occasionally release some welfare information in the community, come and participate!

Best Talismans

For the talismans, it depends on your play style and weapon. For Fire Knight’s Greatsword, you still need something with Flame infusion, so Shard of Alexander is your best choice, as it provides you with 15% extra damage.

If you are ready to fight the enemy head-on, Spear Talisman is also a good choice, because Fire Knight’s Greatsword can be used when you use crouching and charging attacks. In addition to the above two, you can also choose Godfrey Icon to increase your charge thrust.

Just now I have been talking about increasing attack power. For survivability, Erdtree’s Favor +2 and Bull Goat’s talisman can provide you with enough balance to hit the target enemy you marked. Also, since colossal swords drain a lot of your stamina, you might also consider picking up Two-Headed Turtle Talisman to speed up your stamina regeneration.

Best Buffs

Fire Knight’s Greatsword can be enhanced in a number of ways, but the easiest way is to drink Flask of Wondrous Physick with Flame-Shrouding Cracked Tear and Stonebarb Cracked Tear. The former increases your fire damage, while the latter increases your stance damage.

You can also use Spiked Cracked Tear or Oil Soaked Tear instead of Stonebarb Cracked Tear, which increases the damage of your charged attacks. With Oil Soaked Tear, you can apply the oil to enemies to increase their fire damage. But you need to be careful about your positioning at this time, as if you are too close, the fire will burn you.

Since Fire Knight’s Greatsword is tied to Faith build, you have access to a wide variety of beneficial spells, including buffs, such as Golden Vow, which gives you some extra damage and some extra damage reduction, and you can stack it with Flame, Grant me Strength incantation, which gives you more fire and physical damage.

The above is how to make a powerful build around Fits Fire Knight’s Greatsword, I hope it can make your battles easier.

FFXIV is a very popular game in MMO series, and its expansion Dawntrail also brings a lot of different content to players, including the highly praised MSQ. In addition to Tural, players will experience a different exotic atmosphere, and the controversial inheritance ceremony is at its center.

Throughout the journey of Dawntrail MSQ, you will travel through most of Tural and experience a very fragmented visual experience from jungle to cyberpunk city. Each zone has its own unique attributes and is memorable to players.

Urqopacha

The quietest place in Yok Tural is Yok Tural, which is also the home of Pelupelu and Yok Huy. Urqopacha is composed of Tural’s highest peak, Worqor Zormor, and the surrounding highs and lows, where you, as a Warrior of Light, will fight the legendary beast Valigarmanda with Wuk Lamat.

Additionally, the land around Urqopacha is mostly stone and barren, which is why alpacas are the main wildlife here. The many ancient buildings and ruins of Yok Huy and Tural form many of the landmarks of this place, and also make this land enduring.

Kozama’uka

Kozama’uka is the first thing you see when you enter FFXIV Dawntrail. This land is full of tropical forests and rivers, and there are some small settlements around it, living by the water. Kozama’uka is also the home of Hanu, and the waterfalls and forests here make you feel you are in Amazon rainforest.

Kozama’uka is full of palm trees, rivers and all kinds of exotic wildlife. It is an ideal starting zone, especially in South American culture of Dawntrail.

Yak T’el

Yak T’el can be said to be the most diverse zone in Dawntrail. It is roughly divided into two parts - the home of Xbr’aal living in the highlands and the home of Mamool Ja living deep in the jungle.

In comparison, the lowlands where Mamool Ja lives are the highlight of this zone. In the lowlands, there are bright and beautiful blue, glowing wildlife, trees, etc., which make it highly similar to the picture in Avatar.

In the highlands, Xbr’aal is bathed in the sun in the woodland, forming a strong contrast with the beautiful scenery of the lowlands.

Heritage Found

When you enter Shaaloani on Dawntrail, you will see Heritage Found, and the reflection of Tural and Alexandria is reflected in this place. This means that Heritage Found is a vacant land, without any scenery or life, and most of it was destroyed in the war in Alexandria.

But fortunately, the farms in this place use advanced technology from Alexandria, which also makes many things grown in a bright and colorful color presented to the player. The wasteland of Heritage Found and these bright colors are mixed together, forming a strong contrast with other zones in FFXIV.

Shaaloani

After you and Koana are crowned as Dawnservants in Lamat, you will continue to Shaaloani with Erenville. In this wasteland of survival in the desert, Shaaloani is full of life, with many settlements and towns, the most charming of which is a western-style town called Hhusatahwi.

Hhusatahwi is full of taverns and jails run by the local town sheriff, allowing players to immerse themselves in Western style. In addition, Shaaloani’s OST is also the most unforgettable OST in the entire Dawntrail, especially its night theme, which is full of melancholy and shrouds the entire Shaaloani desert.

Tuliyollal

In each expansion of FFXIV, a central city is needed, where players can use multiple functions and talk to multiple NPCs and complete tasks to obtain FFXIV Gil, and Dawntrail is no exception.

Tuliyollal, as the central city of Dawntrail, is the home of Dawnservant Gulool Ja Ja and his son Zoraal Ja, as well as Koana and the protagonist Lamat in the expansion. Of course, most of MSQ in Dawntrail is located here.

In this exotic city, most of Tuliyollal’s urban design is also deeply influenced by South American culture. For example, most of the scenery is designed as a coastal town or resort. Tuliyollal is full of tropical houses, various institutions, and noisy but not chaotic markets. You can definitely feel the vibrant atmosphere of this zone when you explore it.

Solution Nine

Hidden in Everkeep is Solution Nine, a city with a very Cyberpunk feel, where many survivors of Alexandria live. Solution Nine is governed by King Zoraal Ja and Queen Sphene. It is also a very futuristic city with very bright lights everywhere. Scions and Lamat who explore with you are very surprised by its size.

Solution Nine is also divided into multiple zones, such as the residential zone, the government buildings of Resolution, True Vue, and Nexus Arcade. Each part has its own unique design and function, which can gradually turn the city into a utopia for survivors. Even the residents here wear futuristic clothing.

Living Memory

Living Memory is also the most amazing zone, mainly because there are all kinds of entertainment and wonders in this city. Especially its Venice version, where quaint houses surround canals and riverboats, allowing players to relax here.

In addition, Living Memory also provides players with an amusement park full of scenery such as carousels and Ferris wheels, allowing players to return to their childhood in a second and create their own utopia.

There is also a volcano in this zone, which preserves most of Milalla’s history. You can feel the thickness of the city through these histories and sigh at the current vitality. Although Sphene will lose to Warrior of Light, leaving most of the beautiful scenery of Living Memory in ruins, this empty city is still worth exploring.

After understanding these zones in Dawntrail, do you want to open the game and feast your eyes? Then I wish you a happy exploration in Dawntrail!

In fact, in the past two years, there have been constant rumors that there will be new DLC. But it's all uncertain. As a result, news like this constantly piques players' interest and then disappoints them. I believe many players have quit Elden Ring because of this, but this time it is really coming. I believe there will be players who will return to Elden Ring after seeing the release date of Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.Elden Ring’s new expansion Shadow of the Erdtree DLC will be ushered in on June 21st. Currently, Miyazaki claims that this is the only DLC for Elden Ring. So the story of Elden Ring is coming to an end after Shadow of the Erdtree. Shadow of the Erdtree will be the last journey for players in Elden Ring. There will be many changes in Shadow of the Erdtree, a lot of new content will be added, and the difficulty will increase.

1. New Leveling Mechanic

Miyazaki mentioned a separate leveling mechanic in the interview. Since two years have passed since the release of Elden Ring, most players have fully leveled characters. FromSoft is also aware of this problem, so in order to ensure the future game experience, a separate leveling mechanic was proposed. It is outside of “the Lands Between” and players will have their own “level element”. This is more like a balancing mechanism that exists to maintain a fair environment. If such adjustments are not made when Shadow of the Erdtree is about to launch, the subsequent game experience will become confusing. Therefore, Miyazaki emphasized that if you do not put a protective lock on the game balance, it is better to start from scratch. This is also unfair to veteran players, so in order to ensure the interests of most players, a separate leveling mechanic was born.

2. New Game Content

Shadow of the Erdtree has a huge amount of content, including eight new weapon types, as well as many brand new casts, such as the legendary St. Trina. This will be a highlight and very much anticipated. She echoes past video content and is associated with some Legendary, Materials, Special Weapons and recipes. This also means that the entire Elden Ring will form a closed loop, and many things have been reasonably explained.

The protagonist of Shadow of the Erdtree is Miquella, who has an unusual relationship with Trina. I believe everyone knows the similarities between Miquella’s Lily and Trina’s Lily. I was so impressed that he took off his hat to show respect when Miyazaki said this.

And a new boss is coming soon: Messmer the Impaler. From the official PV, we can see that he has iconic red hair and his skills are very cool. Messmer the Impaler inserts a spear into the ground, and the lava boils, and then many spikes suddenly appear around it. If you fail to get out of the range in time, you may be knocked away by it or even get hung up on it.

This is exactly the same as the historical Dracula who liked to hang people on thorns. He’s almost a demigod. His life experience is also worthy of everyone’s exploration and guessing. This Boss is very difficult and requires top operation. I think this boss is so handsome. Whether it’s the appearance design, skill special effects, or his connection with the story itself, it’s worthy of careful exploration by us players.

In addition, taking into account the situation in the world of Elden Ring, many well-known NPCs will not appear in Shadow of the Erdtree. In this way, everyone can understand that this is not an eternal world, and the life and death of NPCs are irreversible. Everything lost will only become regrets and remain in memory. Creating a utopia is not Miyazaki’s goal.

Some people may be reluctant to ask if this is the end? Is the ending of Shadow of the Erdtree the ending of Elden Ring?

I think you are thinking too simply. Shadow of the Erdtree will have different options and endings, which players need to explore by themselves. As for which one is the standard ending, Miyazaki didn’t say much. The reason for having multiple possibilities is also to make it easier for players to replay the game. It feels as if Miyazaki left the ending blank and left it to the players to fill it in. Some people speculate that although he has emphasized that it will be the last DLC of Elden Ring. They do not rule out the form in which FromSoft will publish the sequel to Elden Ring again, including books, comics, videos, etc.

After all, this is a DLC released two years after Elden Ring was released in 2022. Veteran players have been idle in the original world for a long time. Seeing that the challenge is coming, it is time for us to move our bodies and welcome Shadow of the Erdtree. Nothing is easy in Elden Ring. Let’s take up arms and prepare for new battle.

Diablo 4 Season 4, scheduled to be released at 10 am PST on May 14, 2024, has been deeply adjusted based on players’ evaluation of the PTR. Devs had adjusted in several aspects including Affixes, Tempering, Masterworking, The Pit, Helltide, Class Changes, and Boss Ladder. As you can see, these are mainly done from the aspects of crafting system, Boss and class. All that is being prepared to show players shows that Blizzard hopes to use this season to revive Diablo 4, regain those who have left the game, and also seems to have paved the way for future expansions or other endgame content. Without further ado, the main content begins!

Adujustments To Crafting System

The most important thing for a warrior is his weapon. Those of you who are going through all kinds of obstacles must hope that your gears can give full play to its greatest advantages on the battlefield instead of becoming your weakness. The strength of a gear depends largely on its Affixes. I believe everyone knows the Affixes called “Damage on Tuesdays”. Now it’s gone, replaced by some better and more effective Affixes. These are for normal equipment. For Ancentral Legendary and Unique items, Greater Affixes have been added. The item power of these powerful Affixes is 925. This is incomparable to ordinary Affixes. Some gears have some strong Affixes, but they have shortcomings. At this time, you can choose to temper the weapon. You can temper based on the Affixes contained in Tempering Manuals obtained from seasonal events. But the Affixes you get only give you a range. Which one you get is completely random. I really hope you are a lucky person and can get what you want. Because Tempering and Enchanting are different, you cannot reset them. In my opinion, although the devs have limited the range of Affixes that can be added to Tempering Manuals based on PTR feedback, its randomness and inability to reset make it still very difficult for everyone to get the Affixes they want. So, if you want to get good Affixes, you must prepare enough Tempering Manuals and try again and again. However, Tempering Manuals must be obtained from Season 4 related activities.

When you have good Affixes on your gears, you have to realize that your gears are not achieving the best results. Masterworking is the key to improving strength in the new season. Its main function is to increase the value of each Affix on the equipment, which will be greatly improved every 4 levels. And devs virtually eliminate the possibility of failure. I think this makes the Masterworking process simple.

In summary, it can be seen that the devs’ changes to the Crafting system are based on everyone’s feedback, and they actively realize the shortcomings in gear enhancement. They start from Affix and add Affixes to the gears through Tempering and strengthen Affixes through Masterworking. This complete system has been completed. It also simplifies some unnecessary processes.

Adujustments To Boss

The first is the adjustment of the Shadow Boss in The Pit, and it is also an adjustment to The Pit itself. The drops of materials will be distributed according to the tier breakpoints and the number of participants, which makes The Pit more playable and a guaranteed profitable business.

I believe that many people have experienced the situation of being hit and killed by Shadow Boss’s residual attack after completing the task. After adjustment, it makes you immune to the residual attackso that it will not happen again. Such a surprise, everyone can safely check their hard-earned rewards.

The return of Helltide also brings some adjustments. We will accumulate Threat Level by killing monsters. After reaching the full level, Hellborne will come. By killing him, we will get one Banefule Hearts. By having three Banefule Hearts, we can activate the Accursed Ritual to summon Blood Maiden. If you are teaming up with your partners, whoever consumes Banefule Heart will get richer rewards for killing Blood Maiden.

Aberrant Cinders’ drop rates have also been increased throughout Helltide. At the same time, there is also a panacea called Profane Mindcage that can improve the level of monsters in Helltide. After the upgrade, monsters will drop richer rewards.

In addition, Andariel joined the Boss Ladder in Season 4. We are still in the same place as the original summons, but using three times the summon resources in exchange for five times the loot rewards. Besides getting Resplendent Spark, Uber Uniques' drop rate is the same as other bosses' loot drop rate.

Adujustments To Class

Some adjustments have been made to Class. The Armor System has ushered in a big change. If your Armor value reaches 9230, you only need to take up to 15% of the opponent's damage, no matter what the total damage is. Supported by the confidence that this positive effect gives you, no matter how powerful the boss combination is waiting for you, there is no need to be afraid. The fact before you is that you must have an armor value of at least 13K before you can defeat the strongest boss, who is not the ordinary monster you encountered in the previous levels.

In general, Season 4 has greatly improved players’ gears from 3 aspects. The increase in the loot drop rate provides necessary materials for everyone to upgrade their gears. In this way, the strength of all players will be greatly improved during Season 4, and the playing experience will be optimized. Let us look forward to the arrival of the new season together.

A reborn brings the Burning Hells back to the battlefield. Are you ready for another fierce invasion? Players who have struggled with Season of Blood should still be deeply impressed by this. In those battles, if it weren’t for the persistent teammates around you and the sufficient consumables you carry, you might have fallen long ago. Now, they’re here again! What we can foresee at present is that until the end of Diablo 4 Season 4, you may be affected by Helltide changes every time you enter the game. This is a disaster that no one can avoid.

Well, now that Helltide has arrived again, running away is not the answer. Only by going deep into it can we find a glimmer of hope. You’ll face a tidal wave of monsters, but you’ll always get Tortured Gifts. You will accumulate Threat in future battles. The more monsters you kill, the more frequently you open Tortured Gifts, which is directly proportional to the Threat you finally gain. After accumulating Threat to level 3, the number of times you are ambushed as Hell-Marked also increases.

In the end, you need to fight your way out of the siege surrounded by thousands of monsters. But don’t take it lightly now. Because the most powerful warrior in Sanctuary has returned, and after death he is still a king-level existence in hell. Beat him to death and you will get Baneful Hearts, which is used to start Accursed Ritual. After all the hardships, do you think this ritual can be started smoothly? Bro, are you wishful thinking? Think about it. How could there be such a simple good thing in past activities? Well, it’s not that simple either. Anyway, you must have 3 Baneful Hearts to accomplish this. Some players may want to give up when they see this, but think about it. You may have prepared enough consumables, weapons or armor before entering the first round of fighting, but now you have succeeded once. If you get here, if you give up, you will suffer a big loss.

What you need to know is that opening Accursed Ritual does not mean that you have opened the treasure house, but that you have gained the qualification to challenge Blood Maiden. Three Baneful Hearts bring not only these but also a huge reward after you kill Blood Maiden. This is proof that you have overcome hardships along the way. You deserve it.

After all, Helltide is not comparable to some daily tasks, and its arrival is not something everyone can bear. When monsters come like a tide, some warriors will always die. The success of something depends not only on luck but also on daily practice. Accumulate strength and experience in practice. When it comes, you will be able to take it easy. You can rehearse the arrival of Helltide in World Tier I and II in advance. Due to the limitations of world level, it won’t be difficult and you won’t lose much.

But if you are a person who dares to challenge the difficulty and desires more generous rewards. All of this must not satisfy you. You may be thinking: Is this all? My answer is no, of course not. In the world of Diablo 4, there is something that can increase the monster level by 10 every time you use it, ensuring that Cinder will drop after killing the monster. This good thing is Profane Mindcage, which is a panacea..

First of all, you must have enough stocks of consumables and powerful equipment to support Helltide after you upgrade the monster level. When the level of the monster continues to approach level cap after using Profane Mindcage, your benefits from it will decrease. If you want to really get a piece of the Helltide pie, hurry up and upgrade your level. Level is your foundation. Without the foundation, there is no building.

Stock up on supplies, level up, and upgrade equipment. Let’s be fully prepared to survive in Helltide and get the ultimate reward.

The Race Against Time In Dungeons

At the same time that Helltide happened, news seemed to come from the dungeons in the north of Sanctuary, claiming that there are some strange ores there that can upgrade your armor through the exclusive technology of Horadric techniques. I believe that you who are experiencing the torture of Helltide will never let go of this opportunity to upgrade. Of your equipment. But there is never a free lunch. The news that came not only mentioned the strange ore in the northern dungeons but also mentioned that there was some kind of dangerous existence there. If you and your teammates happily head to the northern dungeons after hearing the news, you’re bound to suffer a lot there.

The northern dungeons of the Sanctuary are in The Pit of Artificer, which also contains the Obelisk in Cerrigar. It is your gateway into the beckoning depths of The Pit. This obelisk contains mysterious magic that requires a certain number of Runeshards as keys to open. Four people can enter together, but not everyone will consume Runeshards. Only one of you needs to use it. Arrange in advance that whoever uses them will get the Stygian Stones on the next mission, so don’t get into any disputes over this.

Runeshards can be obtained simply through almost all Endgame activities after completing a Tier 46 Nightmare Dungeon. I don’t need to say more about this.

When you successfully reach the beckoning depths of The Pit, many monsters will appear. Please tighten your nerves, because the next step will be a race against time. You must try to reduce the number of deaths as much as possible. Each time you die, an additional 30 seconds will be subtracted. The total is only ten minutes. Don’t drag your teammates down. Now is not the time to fight alone, we must help each other. Teamwork is very important. After killing a sufficient number of monsters, a portal appears in front of you. You don’t know where you are going and what you will face next, but this is the journey, and the unknown is the meaning of exploration.

When you open your eyes again and you come to the Boss’ territory, the timer on the screen starts counting down. I think you should understand that this will be another fierce battle. If you and your teammates cooperate very well and there are 6 minutes left after killing the boss, then you can challenge a higher difficulty level. But if there are 4-6 minutes left, you can still unlock additional Tiers of the Pit. The Pit has 200 total levels of difficulty.

All in all, this is a race against time.

Call Of Tormented Echoes

The Maiden of Anguish, that is, Andariel, has returned home and will join hands with his brother Duriel to face the coming challengers. Tormented Echoes are calling to you. Take the Stygian Stones and other regular summon materials you obtained from the dungeons in the north of Sanctuary to summon all level 200 or above of the Tormented Echo variant and challenge. In return for victory, the items dropped are all level 925, and as compensation for failure, you will receive one Resplendent Spark the first time you are defeated.Just like her brother Duriel will drop Duriel Mats, defeating Andariel will also drop Andariel Materials.

Suspicions Abound, Who Is Behind The Scenes?

The death of Iron Wolves members does not seem to be as simple as it seems on the surface. There seems to be an invisible hand behind this matter that is controlling everything. As the guardians of Sanctuary, Iron Wolves always uphold this supreme honor and belief, and are rare partners. In the new story, you will join forces with the Iron Wolves to find out the initiator behind this whole thing. The meeting with Soudeh in Khejistan seems to be a turning point in this matter. Let’s work together to protect Sanctuary. After completing the task, you will also be able to obtain several Tempering Manuals.

Keep A Brave Heart

Since you fought hard in the Helltides, prevented the Hellborn and Blood Maiden from coming, successfully defeated the Tormented Echoes, and successfully defended the Sanctuary with the Iron Wolves, the reward communication certificate will give generous rewards, such as new Legendary Aspects, 3 Scrolls of Amnesia and Awoken Demigod Armor Sets, etc.

During Season 4: Loot Reborn, Tejal’s Shop will update its inventory with the Demon’s Heart Bundle for the barbarian, which consists of the Demonheart Armor Set and 2 Demonheart Weapon Cosmetics.

The journey and adventure will not let you down. I hope you will always have a brave heart. The next story will only be more exciting. The road we go will be long. Let’s go together. Come on.

What are the essential addons for Season of Discovery Phase 3? Today, I’ll provide my recommendations on which addons I believe are crucial to have.

Nova World Buffs

The initial addon is called Nova World Buffs.

Its function is to monitor the current layer you’re on, which is then displayed at the top right corner of the minimap. Why is this feature crucial? It addresses the scenario where you might find yourself on a layer crowded with too many players, leading to excessive competition during quests or open-world farming.

To mitigate this issue, I employ a secondary account to invite me to a different layer. As observed, the player density significantly reduces upon switching to Layer 3. It’s advisable to seek assistance from someone in your guild or through world chat to invite you to another layer. However, it’s imperative that they also possess this addon for them to ascertain their current layer.

AtlasLootClassic

The following addon is AtlasLootClassic.

It’s crucial that it includes “Classic” in its name. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on viewing all the new loot introduced in Season of Discovery. This includes items updated in SoD Phase 3 and the newly added raids.

The primary reason I advocate for AtlasLoot is its capability to aid in mapping out your leveling path to level 50. Additionally, it assists in identifying the dungeons essential to focus on at maximum level to obtain specific items necessary for raiding readiness.

Questie

When leveling up, whether it’s your main character or any other character, acquiring Questie is highly recommended.

This addon serves various functions, including tracking quests, indicating locations to both obtain and turn in quests, as well as identifying flight points, mailboxes, repair vendors, and other useful points of interest. Not only does Questie facilitate faster leveling, but it also proves invaluable when new quests are introduced in Phase 3, potentially including those related to new profession items. These new quests will be conveniently displayed within the addon, greatly aiding your progress.

Moreover, Questie features a useful indicator within Nameplates and target portraits: a small bag. This bag serves to highlight whether an NPC needs to be defeated or if there’s an action required to fulfill a specific quest.

Additionally, it will display on your map, directing you to the precise location needed to complete the task at hand. Thus, installing Questie is highly recommended for smoother and more efficient leveling.

Better Vendor Price

Better Vendor Price provides information on the monetary value of a specific item in terms of copper, silver, and WoW SoD Gold if you opt to sell it directly from your inventory window, bypassing the need to visit the Auction House.

This feature proves beneficial in scenarios where my inventory is full, and I must discard items to make space for quest items. Additionally, it assists in selecting the most valuable reward from a quest.

Auctionator

I typically pair this with another addon called Auctionator.

When you search for specific items at the Auction House, Auctionator records their prices. This makes it easier for you to decide whether to sell the item to a vendor or list it on the Auction House for potentially higher profits.

Another reason I recommend this addon is its user-friendly buying and selling process. To sell an item from your bags, simply navigate to the selling interface and select the item. The addon will then scan for the lowest price and list your item slightly cheaper, ensuring you don’t significantly undercut others and maximizing your profit potential.

When making purchases, simply input the desired item, and the addon will streamline the browsing process. The cheapest available option will be displayed at the top, preventing you from overpaying for materials or items.

Bartender4

Would you prefer a cleaner user interface? Consider installing Bartender4. This addon enables you to personalize your action bars and hide elements you don’t wish to see.

Setting up Bartender4 is straightforward. Simply type “/bt” and press Enter. You can then lock or unlock your action bars and adjust various settings, such as size, scale, and padding. Navigate to the specific action bar you wish to modify, such as action bar one.

You have the option to disable individual bars or add more if needed for spells or macros. Additionally, you can customize elements like your reputation or experience bar, adjusting their size and enabling or disabling them as desired. For instance, I’ve chosen to hide my Blizzard Art Bar to declutter the UI, including elements like the Griffins.

With Bartender4, you can also resize your micro and back bars, offering extensive customization options to streamline your user interface.

DarkMode

Once you've addressed the previous issue, you might also consider installing DarkMode.

This addon alters the visual display, rendering everything significantly darker. This includes your target portrait, character portrait, action bars, spell book, and more.

And don't forget, you can adjust the positioning of your target portraits by right-clicking on them and dragging them to a more comfortable location.

Importantly, no additional addon is required for this adjustment. Simply right-click on the target portrait to make changes.

Details

As you prepare for your initial raid, it's advisable to acquire Details.

This addon serves as an invaluable tool for monitoring not only your own performance but also that of your fellow raiders. It provides insights into metrics such as individual damage or healing output, as well as identifying issues like players standing in hazardous areas.

Utilizing Details enhances your ability to optimize raid performance by tracking various aspects critical to success.

Threat Plates

Some of you have suggested that I try out Threat Plates, and I'm genuinely pleased that I did.

I find it quite appealing. Firstly, the Nameplate feature significantly enlarges, with adjustable sizing options. Additionally, it now presents essential information such as remaining health and the duration of damage over time and crowd control effects.

I'm satisfied with my decision to explore Threat Plates, as I anticipate its continued use in the future.

CustomFontLoader

I suggested that you use the damage font Nice Damage, which we had previously discussed. I am aware, though, that some people might have trouble getting it to work correctly. I looked into it and came up with a solution in response.

The CustomFontLoader addon, which offers detailed instructions, can be installed. Additionally, you can customize how your damage or healing is displayed by installing new typefaces. I think this functionality is quite amazing.

AdiBags

Among the plethora of bag organization options available, my preference lies with AdiBags.

When acquiring a new item, it appears distinctively highlighted, similar to gray items but with additional hues of blue and green. Epic items, too, are showcased in vibrant colors. AdiBags facilitates easy categorization of items into armor, jewelry, and other classifications.

Furthermore, it offers automated sorting capabilities. A convenient feature is located at the top right corner, represented by a 'V' symbol, allowing users to toggle item visibility. For instance, if you wish to exclude quest items from display, you can easily do so by disabling them.

By entering '/adibags' in your command prompt, you can access the configuration menu. Here, you can adjust various settings, including the scale of your backpack, to tailor your bag organization experience to your liking.

What's Training

For increased efficiency, consider installing What's Training.

Within your spell book, you'll notice a new feature: a question mark icon located at the bottom right corner. Clicking on this icon reveals the abilities available for acquisition at every other level. This functionality prevents unnecessary visits to your class trainer in search of useful abilities.

This tool proves particularly useful while leveling in the open world, providing clarity on whether to continue progressing or return to your main city for training.

OmniCC & Bigdebuff

The following recommendation is intended for individuals interested in PvP or those playing classes with crowd control abilities. Consider installing OmniCC along with another addon called Bigdebuff.

Utilizing these two addons in tandem enhances functionality, allowing you to monitor crowd control effects and their remaining duration.

Additionally, this information is conveniently displayed on your action bars, providing clear visibility of cooldown times.

DeadlyBossMode

During raiding sessions, it's advisable to install Deadly Boss Mode.

This addon provides on-screen alerts for critical raid mechanics, ensuring you're promptly informed of important events requiring attention.

It also facilitates marking targets for focused action, such as designating enemies with a skull symbol, as demonstrated with this totem.

Crafting plays a pivotal role in advancing through the more challenging segments of Last Epoch. In this guide, we'll be examining a comprehensive crafting guide for this game. Let's begin without delay.

Crafting Basic

Let's begin with the fundamentals.

Pressing the 'F' key will bring up your crafting menu. You can select any piece of gear and bring it to the crafting menu or the forge.

Within the crafting menu, you'll find the tiers of affixes on your gear. Pressing the 'Alt' button reveals the tiers of your affixes. Each tier ranges up to five for normal items, with Exalted items being purple and rolling up to t6s and t7s. As you progress further into the endgame, prioritize seeking out purple gear, as they can roll higher affixes than normal gear.

During the campaign, keep an eye out for resistances, which play a crucial role in mitigating incoming damage. If you encounter a boss or situation requiring specific resistances and your gear lacks them, swiftly craft the needed resistances.

For instance, if you possess an amulet with only 7% lightning resistance, consider enhancing it on the fly to counter a lightning-intensive boss encounter.

Now, let's delve into crafting basics.

Each item has forging potential, dictating the extent of crafting you can perform. When leveling up an affix, the game informs you of the forging potential cost, typically ranging from 1 to 10. Once the potential reaches zero, crafting on the item ceases, though you can still shatter it.

Utilize Glyphs of Hope to enhance crafting outcomes. These glyphs grant a 25% chance of no forging potential cost, maximizing your crafting efficiency.

Suppose you have an amulet with desirable attributes like minion health and damage over time, but undesirable lightning resistance. This is where Glyphs of Chaos come into play, allowing you to reroll affixes.

As you progress, identify crucial affixes for your build. For example, if you specialize in fire damage, prioritize acquiring fire-related affixes. Rolling unnecessary affixes is costly and often not worthwhile. Of course, if you have enough Last Epoch Gold, you can ignore this point. Focus on refining your gear to suit your build's needs effectively.

How To Hunt Specific Affixes?

Now, let's discuss the pursuit of specific and high-value affixes in Last Epoch.

Certain affixes hold greater value and importance, and it's crucial to keep an eye out for them. One significant example is the "percent increase to health" affix.

This affix provides a substantial boost to health, as demonstrated by its 6% increase. Upon further leveling of the gear, even greater health bonuses can be attained. However, I've currently exhausted my supply of shards for this increased health affix, necessitating the acquisition of more shards to enhance this chest piece further, potentially up to Tier 5.

Identifying essential affixes and incorporating them into your loot filter is imperative for efficient item acquisition. Let's illustrate this with an example: suppose we aim to improve a particular item by breaking it down.

If we stumble upon such an item, regardless of its rarity, we could employ either a Rune of Removal or a Rune of Shattering, depending on our priorities. The Rune of Removal is ideal for preserving affix tiers, returning a corresponding number of shards. For instance, if targeting health bonuses, utilizing this rune on a Tier 5 affix would yield five health shards, facilitating significant enhancements.

However, using the Rune of Removal involves a degree of randomness. In our demonstration, although we targeted health, we ended up depleting the forging potential without achieving our goal, emphasizing the need for careful consideration.

Conversely, the Rune of Shattering presents a more unpredictable outcome. It destroys the item, generating a random number of affix shards. While this method may yield desired results, it also carries a risk of obtaining fewer or even no shards, as seen in our attempt to improve the affix.

Ultimately, your approach depends on your immediate needs and the level of risk you're willing to accept. Utilizing Runes of Removal to secure specific shard quantities before resorting to Runes of Shattering can optimize your crafting endeavors. However, always exercise caution, particularly in the early stages of the game, where resources are limited and strategic decision-making is crucial.

How To Make A Loot Filter?

To prioritize these high-value affixes, it's beneficial to create a loot filter.

By pressing Shift + F, you can access the loot filter screen. Alternatively, navigate to your gameplay settings and manage the loot filter. Let's establish a new filter, naming it the xxx filter. Choose a symbol and designate it red for identification. Then, add a rule to designate certain affixes as high-priority.

To illustrate, let's prioritize health-related affixes, focusing on increased health and hybrid health over added health. Additionally, include movement speed and cooldown recovery speed, as they are universally beneficial for all builds.

With these conditions set, any item containing these affixes will be highlighted in red, making it easier to identify priority items amidst the clutter. For instance, we can now easily spot a belt with a 3% increase in health, indicating it's likely a tier one affix.

If such an item is encountered, and considering its low tier, using a shattering method to break it down may suffice, even if it doesn't yield the desired shards. For higher-tier affixes, such as tier three or above, employing a Rune of Removal may be necessary to acquire the desired quantity of shards.

That covers the fundamentals of crafting in Last Epoch. While there are numerous runes and glyphs to discuss, we'll touch on an advanced glyph known as the Rune of Ascendance.

The Rune of Ascendance transforms an item into a unique or set item of the same type. For example, applying it to a silver ring could yield any unique ring, regardless of its original type. This presents a fortunate opportunity to acquire desired legendaries for your build. Simply use the rune on a suitable item, such as a two-handed sword, to potentially obtain the legendary weapon you seek.

In summary, the Rune of Ascendance offers a strategic method to secure essential items for your build, albeit with an element of luck involved.

The Dragonflight story continues in patch 10.2.5, Seeds of Renewal, which goes live on January 16th, and we've got so much to look forward to.

We'll be able to dragonride in all the zones, earn new rewards in the Outland Cup, we'll explore the story of the Dragon Isles after the defeat of Fyrakk, and the Gilneans are finally preparing to retake their lost kingdom.

There are new features, like Follower Dungeons to open up group content to everyone, and the Azerothian Archives brings us new content with an archaeology flare. Then, there are also new customizations to look forward to, more holiday updates, and so much more.

Hurry up and take your WoW Dragonflight Gold to start a new journey in Seeds of Renewal!

Dragonriding Updates

Dragonriding is finally opening up to the rest of the world, so you'll be able to take wing and zoom through any zone where you could previously fly.

In Patch 10.2.5, if a regular flying mount is permitted in a specific area or zone, you will also have the ability to utilize a dragonriding mount in that zone. This means that, from here on out, you will get to choose which flying mode you want to use to get around in all of those old zones.

The Dracthyr Soar capability will undergo adjustments to seamlessly integrate into this expansive dragonriding environment. The cooldown has been reduced to just 10 seconds. You can use all of the same dragonriding abilities and you can use and generate Vigor, so Dracthyr can choose between using a dragonriding mount or just relying on their own wings going forward.

Additional opportunities to acquire Riders of Azeroth Badges will be available during the Outland Cup event. Zoom through Shattrath, soar over the Netherstorm, and see Outland from a new perspective. Each race completed will earn you more Badges that you can trade in for a new color variation of the Drake Rider's transmog set, as well as 2 new tabards.

New Story Quests

With the Primalist threat quelled for now, and Amirdrassil safely blossoming into Azeroth, the night elves can finally start building a new home for themselves.

When Amirdrassil bloomed at the conclusion of the raid in 10.2, it brought itself and the land about its roots from the Emerald Dream into Azeroth, and beneath the boughs of the new World Tree, the night elf city of Bel'ameth is starting to take shape.

Bel'ameth is connected to other important night elf areas throughout the world, including Darkshore and Feralas. Despite being a night elf city, the Horde is encouraged to explore, and there's a convenient portal from Hyjal for their use.

But when Amirdrassil took root, heroes of the Horde and Alliance heard a mysterious voice, ancient, beautiful and almost song-like, calling out to them. At the same time, Khadgar has received reports of dark whispers. Something is moving in the shadows. An ancient enemy stirs, incited by some harbinger.

But what are they planning, and where will they strike first? New story quests will unfold in the old world as the Greymane family endeavors to reclaim their lost kingdom, with the Forsaken offering assistance upon the request of Calia Menethil. You can earn yourself a new mount and some cool transmog rewards by helping the Gilneans reclaim their land from the domination of the Scarlet Crusade.

Follower Dungeons

A new feature that a lot of folks are already very excited about is Follower Dungeons.

You'll be able to queue for all 8 Dragonflight dungeons on Normal difficulty with between one and 4 players, and the game will fill in your group composition gaps with NPCs.

So, if you don't have a tank in your group, you can still queue up, and you will have an NPC tank to take all of those heavy hits. You can even queue up all by yourself and have a full group of NPCs to explore the dungeon with. You have the option to personally guide the NPCs or designate them to take the lead, particularly if you are uncertain about the direction.

Follower Dungeons are going to be a great way to learn how group content works. Embarking on dungeons for the first time can be daunting, but Follower Dungeons provide an opportunity to ease into this aspect of the game. It allows you to familiarize yourself with mechanics, encounter bosses, navigate dungeon layouts, and obtain valuable dungeon loot.

They're also going to be great for experimenting with new roles, classes or specs. You can explore tanking or venture into healing without the constraints of time or performance expectations. I am definitely going to take advantage of that to try and get back into healing and test out any class changes in the future.

Azerothian Archives

We'll also have new content to explore in the Azerothian Archives.

Engage with distinctive characters, immerse yourself in new narratives, and delve into the iconography of zones and local cultures through archaeology-themed activities.

There are smaller sites that you can work through by yourself, uncovering lost fragments to piece together the past. Then, there are also large sites, which are group activities similar to public events. Work through multi-stage scenarios together to properly excavate the area, fend off enemies, and see what lies beneath the soil.

There are also plenty of rewards to collect, including new mounts, battle pets, and transmog.

New Customizations

Patch 10.2.5 continues the trend of adding in new customization options for a couple of races.

Trolls will get 5 new vibrant hair colors to play around with, and the draenei will have a darker skin option, which fits in with their Man'arian locks from the previous patches.

Warlock demon customization options will also be expanded to include new color variations for your demonic tyrants, as well as new color and model options for your Darkglare summons, so you can pick and choose exactly how you want your floating eyeball to look.

Holiday Updates

We also have more holiday updates to look forward to in the new patch.

Love is in the Air will have new quests to work through and all-new rewards to collect, so we're going to have even more ways to get into the WoW holiday spirit in 2024.

So there's something for everyone to get excited for in the new patch, and it's going to be an interesting adventure as we start exploring what's next for the World of Warcraft.

Diablo 4 Abattoir of Zir Dungeon is an end game pinnacle content that players can only access once they've beaten all of the Season Journey and is incredibly hard.

The starting difficulty for the Abattoir of Zir is 20% harder than the highest tier of Nightmare Dungeons. So, this content is extremely challenging.

So, in this guide, we're going to be talking about some of the best tips and tricks to conquer the Abattoir of Zir in Diablo 4 Season 2. Of course, if you have enough Diablo 4 Gold, you'd better equip your character well, so that it will be easier for you to challenge Abattoir of Zir!

How To Start Abattoir Of Zir?

If you open up your season tab and then go to your season journey in order to start this content, all of the seasonal chapters will need to have check marks.

You need to complete the last tier. You don't need to complete every single challenge. You just need to complete enough that you get the chapter rewards. Once you do that, you will be rewarded with the Abattoir of Zir glyph known as the Tears of Blood.

In order to start using this, you're going to need to be leveling it up in the Abattoir of Zir. To access this content, you're going to want to come over to Ked Bardu. Ked Bardu is located in the Dry Steppes, and once you get here, you're going to want to come over to the glyph crafting Occultist.

When you come to the Occultist, you're going to look for the Bloodforged Sigils and craft a Tier 1. Now, there are 25 tiers of the Abattoir of Zir, each one increasing in difficulty and the amount of Sigil Powder that is required to craft it. You're going to earn them when you complete a Tier 1. You unlock the ability to do a Tier 2 and so on and so forth.

And if you're looking for Sigil Powder, you get it by breaking down sigils. So, if you have a sigil from a nightmare 100 dungeon or a nightmare 20 dungeon, anytime that you break them down, you'll earn yourself sigil powder.

If you successfully complete Abattoir of Zir, you will earn Sigil Powder. So, as long as you're not failing these, you can keep running them. But once you start failing, you can run out of Sigil Powder.

Tips & Tricks - Some Basics

The next thing to note before you jump into your first Abattoir Of Zir is your defenses.

Now, Abattoir of Zir is very different from a nightmare 100 dungeon or nightmare dungeons in general because you only have one life. That means if you die at any point, you're kicked out of the run. If you're playing with teammates or if any of your teammates die at any point, all of you are kicked out of the run. And it costs a ton of Sigil Powder to make another sigil. So, going in prepared is very important.

What do you need to be prepared? The very first thing is your resistances. You're going to want all of your resistances to 70% or as close to 70% as possible.

The next thing that you're going to want to look for is armor. Now, the armor cap of Abattoir of Zir is around 14,000 armor for fighting the hardest enemies. When you're walking into it, you're going to want around 13.3k armor. The reason you're going to want that much armor is because armor affects your physical damage negation, meaning that the more armor that you have, the more damage reduction that you take from enemies. This caps out at 85%, but it changes for the level of enemies.

For example, I have more than enough armor to fight enemies that are my level at 10,000 armor because I'm getting max physical damage negation, which is 85%. However, if I start fighting enemies that are 156 levels or level 156, then I'm going to need more armor because their damage is going to go up as their level is going up.

So, walking into Abattoir of Zir, it’s really important to note that you want really high resistances. You’re shooting for around, I would say, 10,000 base armor. Then, you can use an Aspect of Disobedience to increase your armor even more so that you’re taking the least amount of damage possible via your armor.

If you’re low on your resistances or damage for the Abattoir of Zir, you can come over to the Elixir crafter and craft some Elixir to increase your defenses, increase your resistances, increase your damage.

You can also craft Incenses, which can give you more dodge chance, more thorns, more max life and so on. You can have both a potion and an incense active at the same time to increase your rate of success in Abattoir of Zir.

There are also Helltides every hour, and opening the Helltide chest can give you potions that can increase your armor, for example. This is another thing to stack up on before you go into the Abattoir of Zir.

Abattoir Of Zir Actual Run

Now that we’ve gone over some of the basics, let’s walk through an Abattoir of Zir actual run.

One of the big things that you’re going to notice about Abattoir of Zir is enemies are going to be beefy. In fact, enemies get 20% more HP per level, so their health scales exponentially. The higher you go, the more HP that they get. And if you’re playing with team members, they get even more HP.

You’ll also note that there is a time limit. You have 10 minutes to clear a run, and once you get into the later tiers, that can become a genuine issue. Right now, the big struggle with Abattoir of Zir is having enough survivability so that you don’t die in the run, but also having enough damage that you can complete the run in under 10 minutes. And this is kind of a bit of a struggle.

This struggle becomes a little easier with the new Tears of the Blood glyph. Once you complete a run, you’re going to get experience that you can socket into your Tears of Blood glyph.

Now, for leveling up this glyph, the experience required is massive and only realistically achievable in the Abattoir of Zir. The reason for this is the Tears of Blood glyph goes up to level 200, whereas all other glyphs in the game only go up to level 21. And normal nightmare dungeons just don’t reward enough experience to make meaningful level gains on this glyph.

As of the hotfix that happened on December 8th, they’ve massively buffed the amount of experience that you get from completing Abattoir of Zir runs so that you can actually earn meaningful progression on this thing. Prior to that hotfix, it was basically theoretically impossible to level up this thing to level 200 given the timeframe of the season. So now experience gains are a bit better, but it’s still going to be a lot of grinding to really level this thing up.

In terms of socketing this glyph, it’s really important to socket it in somewhere that’s going to give you more survivability for the Abattoir of Zir and hopefully more damage. There’s a lot of places in a lot of Paragon Boards that you could socket in multiple characters.

For example, the reason I’ve socketed in the Heightened Malice board for the Druid is mainly because it’s going to boost up my damage reduction from poison enemies. Damage reduction is super important in the higher tiers, and it’s also going to give me increased damage to poisoned enemies.

The reason for this is that the Tears of Blood glyph not only gives me the percent increased in damage, but it also gives me a boost to all of my rare nodes that are in radius. Rare nodes are these yellow nodes. And putting it somewhere smart that to give you more survivability is really important.

Once you complete your first two runs of Abattoir of Zir, you’ll have enough experience to level up your Tears of Blood glyph to level 1. Now, socketing this thing can be very important and critical to your success. You’re going to want to socket in it in a glyph socket that has a ton of core stats nearby as well as beneficial rare notes.

The Tears of the Blood glyph is going to give you for every 5 core stats purchased within range. You're going to get 2% increased multiplicative damage and a 50% bonus to all rare nodes within range. Bonus increases by 10% every 10 levels.

That is going to do it for our guide on the Abattoir of Zir. This is hard challenging pinnacle end game content that will push your build to the test. And if you've already gotten a character to max level and done all the content in Diablo 4 and want to try something even harder and push your build to the limit, Abattoir of Zir is the place to do it.

However, this content is brutally crushing. The enemies are incredibly strong and even on the best builds, you will most likely die. So, be careful.
