I just loved it man, at 1st I would get 25-30 weaks. and played more and more, it was never boring man! so I thought about techniques and info i got from players. skull axe+glint then skull aegis+glint magma in between it was the main ingredient in getting 60-80 weaks. and thought what could make this better
its "MS GEAR" so i continued to farm what i got in total at the time for gears are 75m+50m+15m(axe,aegis,glint). then worked my way slowly to ms gear. played non-stop bought 30ms armor(7-8m), helm 25%m(7-8m), 18%ms belt (1.5m), nox set(18%ms each) 7.5m each, and alacrty arti 25%ms(40m) FYI the DEX based arti is for dodge boost and low DMG output if anyone is wondering and it really helps in crypt. so you do the math? it was great stuff my time and investments finally payed off but there was still a problem. no matter how OP my ms or my weps or procs were, I would always die time by time. I farmed deaths at the same time. so I bought 6.5m each lvl 76 end set with 15%armor. 7% drag ring(1.5m). also was able to buy arc werewiger for ms to boost my jewel production. so now what hurts is after all that. after my dedication to perfect my art. the "exploit" bomb came, maybe were getting 100 weaks per elix. but at what cost? 250+m(plus buy/sell of testing other weps/gears). now if you still dont understand my frustration I'm sorry. maybe you would never get it. it also hurts seeing a comment from a dev stating "I have no remorse for exploiters". but I came into a realization because of these updates. of how stupid i was to waste/invest my time to something so meaningless while I could've done something more productive with my life(quarantine is not an excuse). I can say now I'm slowly letting go of my addiction to this game. Never wish what I felt to be felt by any other player don't farm with ignorance. if you gain then you are doing something wrong. just like in the casino. the house always wins. thank you for a good quarantine time. it was fun and satisfying until it last. GLHV ya'll!
I'm also the same as u bro, I invested in jewel farm more than gold loot farm not knowing they will kill it like that. I have the gold to go back a little in gold loot farm but I've lost interest to the game like what u said that even the devs says they dont care about us jewel farmers. And now that they even confirm that jewel drops even if u dont kill mobs (somebody did) much as well still telling jewel farmers that they dont need us to that work. Well ranting about this in forums wont give us anything anyway since devs will never bring it back but it is good to let something go. Still thanks to everything been great to at least came back to the game for 3 months and enjoyed it.
