  1. I would suggest pairing Mesa with Xoris. Her 4 makes short work of the specters.
  2. Howdy Tenno! With the announcement that the October update will include a large amount of QoL changes I wanted to finally sit down and make this post. I've been thinking about how to revamp the acquisition of arcanes through the game and I have slowly come to an idea that I think would work out. The main reason I have for revamping the system is to bring in line all of the different gamemodes and vendors that offer arcanes and unify the system to be more consistent with each other. I believe starting with the Zariman tileset and through the Conjuction Survival & Mirror Defense gamemodes there has been a similar system where the arcanes can be earned via the game, but also for purchase from a vendor. Using this system we have a baseline to revamp the older arcanes in the game. One thing I want to start with is going to be the biggest change in my revamp, which are the Eidolon arcanes (and Orphix to an extent, we'll cover that later). Currently, the OG raid arcanes are dropped from the Eidolon enemies in the Plains between all three of them. You also earn different arcanes by capturing or killing them. With the new revamp, I propose taking them out of the Eidolon drops. Now instead the Eidolons will have increased drops of their shards (each drops 1 radiant, and increase amount of brilliant on top of the regular shards). As for the arcanes themselves, if my math, and the wiki, are correct, the raid arcanes consist of 6 bronze, 13 silver, 8 gold, and 3 platinum. If we convert one silver into a gold then we have numbers that are divisible by 3. Each tier of arcane will be split between the main 3 Operator syndicates (Quills, Little Duck, and Necraloid). Each syndicate will now have 2 bronze, 4 silver, 3 gold, and 1 platinum raid arcane each. I feel splitting them up this way makes the most sense since it will help get traffic to all 3 open worlds and play the content there. Well that's a lot of words to read. Let's summarize each area. Cetus (Exodia arcanes) Purchased with standing. No change Quills Eidolon arcanes removed from the bosses and split between the 3 operator syndicates - 2 bronze, 4 silver, 3 gold, 1 platinum Purchased with standing Keep current arcane inventory as-is Fortuna (Kitgun arcanes) Purchased with standing. No change Little Duck Eidolon arcanes removed from the bosses and split between the 3 operator syndicates - 2 bronze, 4 silver, 3 gold, 1 platinum Purchased with standing Keep current inventory as-is Necraloid - NEW Eidolon arcanes removed from the bosses and split between the 3 operator syndicates - 2 bronze, 4 silver, 3 gold, 1 platinum Purchased with standing This would help add 2 more tiers to the syndicate as currently goes to level 3 Also include the Theorem and Residual arcanes as a purchase in the syndicate, on top of drops from Isolation Vault bounties Arbitrations (various arcane types) Already exist as a wave rotation Would also add to the Arby's store as purchasable for Vitus Orphix (change to drops) Remove Eidolon arcanes from drop pool Create 4 new arcanes that drop from the pool Wave rotations also include Phasic Cells, very similar to the original event. Phasic Cells can be traded to Father Necralisk for the new arcanes Zariman (various arcane types) Purchased with standing and also earned as drops from Thrax enemies - no change Conjunction Survival & Yonta Wave rotation drops & purchasable from Yonta - no change Mirror Defense/Otak Wave rotation & purchasable from Otak for crystals - no change Steel Path Arcanes Getting the Acolytes to spawn is very straightforward so I would keep this system as-is. Duviri & Acrithis The only change I have for this syndicate is to let the player pick the 1 arcane they can purchase from Acrithis each day. I have no issue with only buying one each day, but with the random nature of which arcane pops up each day just give me the option to pick it. With 12 arcanes at 21 each to max them out you're looking at 252 days to get each one once. With it being random who knows when they'll be completed. And there you have it, my arcane revamp. With this revamp my hope would be to bring all of the existing content that has arcanes into a more similar style of acquisition and could also be continued for when we eventually get more arcanes. Yes, the Eidolons will take a hit but with the upcoming Focus changes I feel that adding more shard drops will still keep that as a decent focus farm. Let me know your thoughts.
  3. It's random space magic, who cares at this point what the real life definition is/was/will be. These timelines are confusing.
  4. Thanks as always Mako, and glad to hear you're doing better! Random thoughts on the stream: Soulframe demo needed it's own panel. 30 minutes is a lot to have to sit through. I'm curious, but I'm here for WF content first. Next frame looks nice, digging the headless horseman (woman?) theme. Grendel Prime, nice look. Surprised we're getting a Zylok Prime with him. Never really imagined that would be primed. Crankshaft Prime melee looks nice. Hydroid rework? Hydroid rework. And more QoL fixes. Might have to put that arcane shop post into words soon that I've been thinking of. I hope with the Whispers update there's more for the Necraloid syndicate to do. I'm interested to see what human Loid thinks of Otak 🤣 WF 1999 totally lost me. So it's Dark Sector redux? Trying to keep these timelines in check is confusing. Not the strongest Tennolive for me personally, but I am interested to see where things go. Cheers!
  5. Eternalism. That Albrect is from whatever WF 1999 universe is supposed to be. The blue skinned version is most likely dead.
  6. The drop from tennolive can take several hours to show up in your inbox.
  7. I'll stick with the disruption missions. I like the conduit modifiers, spices things up a little.
  8. Historically 2pm EST is a safe bet for launch time.
  9. Nightwave usually has one, and DE will occasionally do umbra forma as a twitch drop for devstreams. They're plentiful enough.
  10. I feel like all they would have to do is un-tether the ground and space missions from each other and it would work.
  11. Thanks as always Mako! My takeaways from the stream: The static portals after the wyrm fight for arcanes has me intrigued. I like having another farm able avenue for arcanes. And gives me a reason to use the 50+ decrees I find lol New frame as a mini boss looks cool. Glad we can also trade resources for bps What's up with DE's obsession lately with handlebars on helmet pieces. First Hildryn Prime and now the new operator suit 🤣 And as another user said it: I had the same thought. For real, where's her head 😂
