New World Battle passes and Wayfinder Guides

Welcome to New World Guides! In this article, we will discuss battle passes and their recent introduction to the popular online game, Wayfinder. We'll also explore the potential impact of battle pass fatigue in the gaming industry, and how New World can create a sustainable system for its players. Battle passes are a popular feature in many games today, offering players the opportunity to unlock exclusive rewards by completing in-game challenges. Wayfinder recently introduced its own battle pass system, which differs from the traditional free-to-play model. Instead, Wayfinder's battle passes do not expire, providing players with greater flexibility and choice. While the free-to-play model may work well for some games, New World has chosen a buy-to-play model. This offers players a fairer experience and can help to combat bots, which can be a problem in free-to-play games. By adopting a battle pass system that does not expire, New World could provide its players with more free...

Tips to help overcome challenges in Old School Runescape

Old School RuneScape is a game with endless possibilities, from maxing out skills to creating your own game modes. However, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of goals to achieve. In this article, we'll provide some tips to help you overcome challenges and create your own path in OSRS. One of the most challenging game modes in OSRS is Iron Man , where you're limited to only using your 28 inventory slots. This requires careful planning and strategy, but it's a great way to test your skills. Hardcore permadeath accounts and ultimate iron man accounts are even more challenging, but they offer a unique experience for those looking for a true test. If you want to take things even further, you can create your own game modes with land boundaries or mechanics restrictions. This allows you to be creative and test your skills in new ways. Jagex has even introduced game modes like Prop Hunt, which add a new layer of fun to the game. No matter what goals you have in...

Creating the Perfect Guild Wars 2 Gear Setup for Success

Having the right gear is important for any Guild wars 2 player, but it doesn't always guarantee success. While having exotic gear may make a player look more experienced and knowledgeable, the real indicator of success is the build and setup they have. A player in full exotics with Scholaroon and force impact is more likely to understand the game than one with rare gear.  Being assertive is also key to success in MMORPGs . Players shouldn't be afraid to make their presence known and state their roles. Being assertive increases the chance of joining a group and boosts success in group content. For example, if a player joins a Kadim run and states solo lamp, they won't be kicked. Similarly, if a player joins a group and states they will kite demos, they won't be kicked.  It's also important to remember that giving advice is not trolling. The advice can be useful for players and help them become better. The advice should be taken with a grain of salt, however, and pl...

New World Received significant balance changes

Welcome to the world of New World , where new patches and updates are always exciting! This patch in particular is a big one, with lots of changes to weapons and combat overall. In this guide, we'll be taking a look at the changes to the Fire Staff , Hatchet, Blunderbuss, and Musket - all of which received significant balance changes in this patch. The Fire Staff received both buffs and nerfs with this patch. On the buff side, the AoE upgrade for the Fire Staff had its projectile speed reduced by 25, fixing an issue where it couldn't be blocked or parried. On the nerf side, Flamethrower had its damage reduced from 50 to 100 weapon damage per second, and the Accelerating Flamethrower perk activation window was reduced to make it clearer and reduce the amount of stacks of Smolder needed to trigger the effect. The Hatchet also received some changes. Defy Death was changed to gain 50 base HP (before modifiers) instead of 50 max HP, and a bug was fixed where hard gem abilities would...

Make New World Coins with Fury of the Spriggan daily event

Are you looking for a way to make some extra Coins in New World ? Look no further than the Fury of the Spriggan daily event ! This daily event is a world boss encounter that features an immense Spriggan that has to be defeated by a group of players. To help you out, there are braziers scattered across the area that can be activated with Flame Cores and Ironwood to give you a damage boost. Beware of Spriggan's poison balls that rain from the sky, and its swinging branch arm that will deal a lot of damage. Once you defeat the Spriggan, you will be rewarded with Minor Spriggan Spoils and Major Spriggan Spoils. The Minor Spriggan Spoils contains a selection of useful items such as Iron Guardsman Insignia, Infused Mana Potion, and Smite from on High. The Major Spriggan Spoils contains a selection of powerful items such as 250 Umbral Shards, a Vine Born Heavy Chess Piece of the Soldier, and a crafted mod. Additionally, you have a chance to roll these items as legendary, so you might be a...

The problem for Elder Scrolls Online Ozezan Set

Ozezan is a monster set that came with the Scraps of the Fault DLC for Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). It's supposed to provide an armor bonus when overheating yourself or an ally. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as intended and the armor bonus doesn't get applied. This is an extremely frustrating issue as the set could be a great addition to group play, providing an 8 percent damage mitigation with the 4,272 armor bonus it was supposed to provide when overheating an ally. This would make it easier to get Trifectas and add a bit of survivability to group play. Unfortunately, when you try to equip Ozezan and proc overheating on yourself or an ally, you won't get the armor bonus. Instead, you'll get a minor vitality effect and a new effect called Ozezan Splitting, which does nothing. If you're looking for a way to increase survivability in your group play, you'll have to look elsewhere for the moment. Hopefully, Zenimax fixes the issue with Ozezan soon, so that y...

Diablo 4 Dungeons In the Early Access and Open Beta

Dungeons are an essential part of Diablo IV , offering players the opportunity to gain loot, experience, and powerful items. In the Early Access and Open Beta , players will have access to an array of different dungeons in various regions of Sanctuary. Upon completion of a dungeon, players will unlock legendary powers within the Codex of Power and will also receive experience, Diablo 4 gold , and renown. The objectives vary in each dungeon, ranging from activating gate controls, freeing prisoners, collecting animus from certain monsters, finding and returning bloodstones, finding and destroying constructs, defeating all enemies in the area, activating levers, and defeating the boss. Some dungeons require the player to first clear a stronghold before they can be accessed. In addition to the main objectives, players may encounter side quests that lead them to specific areas of the dungeon. There are also two shrines in each instance of a dungeon that can be activated for additional benef...

New World Passive Season XP in New Update

Welcome to the New World Dev Update ! In this article, LOLTANK will be discussing the passive season XP gain and how it interacts with the seasonal journey and other seasonal activities.  The passive XP gain is an added bonus on top of the rewards you get from seasonal activities, such as completing activity cards or participating in outpost rust. This is not intended to be the primary driver of progression through the season, as that comes from your seasonal journey and activities.  The devs are looking into additional enhancements to the passive XP gain, which may include additional passive XP vectors with the next PTR update . They are closely monitoring the data and feedback, so your input is very important in this regard.  It's important to note that these changes won't necessarily break your relationship with the game. Instead, they are intended to give you more choices and add to your enjoyment of the game.  We hope this article has been helpful in understand...

Path of Exile Guide: My Gold, Poison, and Concoction Character Journey

Welcome back, Exiles! In today's Path of Exile guide, we are going to dive into my recent journey with my Gold, Poison, and Concoction character for the current league. This guide will cover the highlights of my journey, the gear I have acquired, and the strategies I have employed to make the most of this character. First off, I want to share my overall thoughts on the character so far. I began the league with the campaign and so far I have completed the lab and am beginning to tap into red maps. I have killed some of the lower-tier bosses, but not the pinnacle ones yet. I am currently 6 levels away from reaching level 85. So far I have been grinding and farming for alchemy orbs and have acquired a good amount of Poe currency . I have also purchased a few pieces of gear, including a staff and a helmet. Additionally, I have been using the Orb of Fusing to upgrade my gear, which has been quite helpful.  When it comes to gear, I have acquired a few pieces of important gear. My shield...

Guild Wars 2 Never Miss Guides for New Players

Guild Wars 2 can be a daunting game to learn for new players. There is a lot of content to explore and many players have a lot of experience with the game. In this guide, LOLTANK will discuss the four things veteran Guild Wars 2 players won't tell you.  Core professions aren't as strong as elite specializations Elite specializations tend to have more versatility, which makes core professions feel a bit lackluster. This doesn't mean core professions are completely useless, as they can still be very effective in certain situations. However, the value of elite specializations cannot be denied.  Different endgame content isn't valued the same Arena Net has focused on story and PvE content such as strikes, raids, and world vs the world, but PvP has not been updated since launch. Horizontal progression, where you earn a piece of gear that is always effective no matter when you get it, isn't for everyone. Many players prefer vertical progression, where they can work towa...

Top 3 Poe 3.2 Build before the end of Sanctum

Welcome to the introduction of our new Poe 3.2 build ! Poe 3.2 is the latest version of the popular ARPG game Path of Exile , and it features an overhaul of the game's core mechanics, new end-game content, and several other changes. LOLTANK Will be using a combination of Intelligence and Dexterity to maximize our damage output, while also using a variety of skills to increase our survivability. Poison Seismic Trap Saboteur The first build we're looking at today is the Poison Seismic Trap Saboteur. This Shadow class build has been the source of much discussion, as it requires very little investment to achieve powerful boss-killing potential. This has led many people to call for GGG to nerf the building, as it takes away from building diversity in races. However, I highly recommend you try this build before it gets nerfed, as it has many great features.  For starters, this build is capable of powerful boss damage - hence its title as the King of Bossing. It also has great surviv...

Resetting Training, Dummies, or Combat Dummies in ESO Update 37

The Elder Scrolls Online Resetting your training, dummies, or combat dummies in your home without having to wait for the combat to end is indeed possible with the latest ESO update 37 . All you have to do is get in combat with the dummy, then press the corresponding house menu button or key binding on your controller.  However, you don't want to go overboard with this feature. As you experienced, putting down 700 Iron Atronax in a single house can cause a lot of problems. Not only did it take up valuable space, but it also caused your server to crash.  So the next time you want to reset your dummies, make sure you don't put down too many at once. Stick to a reasonable number, like 200 or fewer. This will ensure that your server will remain stable and your house won't be cluttered with too many dummies.  Additionally, make sure you keep your dummies in tighter rows. This will allow you to hit them all at once with a single attack, making it easier to reset them. Having th...

Path of Exile Betrayal System Exclusive Rewards and Powerful Items

The Path of Exile betrayal system is incredibly intricate, and with the right knowledge, you can make the most of it. With enough intelligence, you can gain access to exclusive rewards, powerful items, Poe Currency , and a chance to defeat the mastermind, Katarina.  Betrayal is one of the most complex machines in Path of Exile . It's full of secret encounters, rewards, and bosses, and can take a while to fully understand. In this guide, we'll explain the basics of betrayal and how to make the most of it. The Immortal Syndicate consists of four divisions – transportation, fortification, research, and intervention – with each division containing a unique set of encounters, rewards, and bosses. The goal is to bring the Immortal Syndicate to an end by raiding their safe houses and defeating the Mastermind, Katarina.  When you kill a syndicate member, you have three options. You can interrogate them, which will imprison them and grant you intelligence about their division's saf...

Diablo 4 Endgame Content World Tiers, the Tree of Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons, the Field of Hatred, World Bosses, and Paragon Board

Diablo 4 is sure to be a hit when it launches, and there's plenty of content to keep you playing long after you've completed the main story. In this article, we'll be looking at the endgame content of Diablo 4 , including World Tiers, the Tree of Whispers, Nightmare Dungeons, the Field of Hatred, World Bosses, and Paragon Board . World Tiers are the different levels of difficulty in the game. You start on Adventure and Veteran, but to unlock Nightmare, Hell, and Torment you'll need to complete certain challenges, such as completing the Cathedral of Light on Veteran difficulty. The higher the World Tier, the more rewards you'll get, such as Champion Monsters which can drop Sacred Items and Diablo IV Gold . The Tree of Whispers is a region-wide event that can be activated once you reach Nightmare difficulty. Lilith's armies will be empowered and you'll need to kill them to get Cinders, which can be used to open Hell-Tied chests for rewards. Grim Favors, whi...

Six Essential Things to Know About Elder Scrolls Online

Elder Scrolls Online is an expansive, ever-evolving MMORPG that provides players with a vast array of choices and options. With so much to learn, it can be difficult to narrow down the most important aspects of the game. Here are six of the top things you need to know in ESO: The Armory System The Armory System is a free Quality of Life update available in the Crown Store. It allows you to save multiple builds, including all your CP points , attributes, skills, weapons, equipment, and Mundus Stones. This is incredibly useful for players who want to play multiple roles, such as tank, healer, and DPS, on the same character. It also allows you to quickly reset your character with just a few clicks. Research Researching is an important part of ESO, as it affects many different aspects of the game. For example, you need to research traits in order to create a piece of armor or weapon, and if you want to use the Armory System, you need to research those traits. Researching also gives you a ...

How to Make Poe Currency with Divination Cards?

Poe Divination Cards are items that can be collected in Path of Exile (PoE) and exchanged for rewards. They are dropped from monsters and loot containers, take up 1x1 inventory space, and are stackable and tradeable. When a full set of cards is collected, they can be given to either Tasuni in Highgate or Lilly Roth at the player's hideout for the item referenced on the card. The cards drop in specific areas of Wraeclast, so farming in that area increases the chances of obtaining the desired item. Additionally, drop rates are affected by the character's level, with no penalty for characters level 68 and above when farming world areas in later acts. Today Loltank will be going to show you how to make Poe Currency from divination cards. We'll be focusing on the biggest decks, of course, but we'll also be looking at some of the leftovers. To start off, we'll be gambling on a replica item. Then, we'll be looking at level 21 chaos gems with 23 quality.  After that,...

Fallout 76 Union Power Armor Reviews

LOLTANK hopes this Fallout 76 guide was helpful in understanding the Union Power Armor and whether or not it is worth the Fallout 76 Caps .  The Union Power Armor is a great choice for those looking for extra protection, as it provides 647 Damage Resistance, 417 Energy Resistance, and 325 Radiation Resistance. It also has increased poison resistance and high carry weight, which can be improved further with the addition of Calibrated Shocks. However, the Union Power Armor is only available from Giuseppe at the Whitespring Resort and it is extremely expensive, costing 800 stamps per piece.  An alternative would be to level up the Season 10 Scoreboard, but this could take a while.  In terms of other power armor options, the Hellcat, X-01, and Excavator are all good choices . The Hellcat can be obtained by completing a quest line, while the X-01 and Excavator can be obtained from various vendors. The Excavator is especially good for those looking for increased carry weight. ...

How to Make Path of Exile Divine Orbs with Triple Multi, Plus Seven Percent, Fractured Light Jewels

Playing Path of Exile can be a daunting task, especially for those new to the game. One way to make it easier is to take advantage of the three passive points you get when you start. One way to do this is to focus on rolling Triple Multi, plus seven percent, Fractured Light Jewels. These jewels are incredibly lucrative and can be sold for anywhere between 25 and 35 Divine Orbs on average.  When rolling these jewels, it is important to use Death Fossils instead of Harvest Report Scripts. This is because Death Fossils will give all of the critical mods on the jewel a 10x multiplier, whereas a Reforge will simply pick one of the print mods. This means that you have a much better chance of hitting Triple Multi than you would with Harvest. It is also important to consider the weightings of the different mods. For prefixes, the weighting is 18,250, and for suffixes, it is 19,150. This makes it much easier to hit Triple Multi with a Death Fossil than it would be with Harvest. It is also...

The Immortal Tank Build Guide for The Elder Scrolls Online

Welcome to this guide about the Immortal Tank option for Elder Scrolls Online . In this guide, LOLTANK will discuss the unique build that allows you to become virtually immortal in ESO. This build requires several sets, skills, and tweaks to make it work, so we will explain each of these and how they interact with each other to make this possible.  Magma Shell which is the key component of this build. Magma Shell is an ultimate ability that will cap any damage taken above 3% of your max health at that same 3%. This means that no matter how much damage you take, it will never exceed 3% of your max health. To keep this ability up at all times, we will need a few other things. Elf Bane set This set can be purchased from the Guild Traders with ESO GOLD and it will extend the duration of flame damage over time abilities by 5 seconds. Magma Shell is considered flame damage over time ability, so it will be extended by Elf Bane to a total of 18 seconds.  Blessing of the Potentates T...

Sorcerer Stamina Build: The Most Powerful Solo Build in Elder Scrolls Online

The Stamina Sorcerer build is one of the most versatile and powerful solos builds you can use right now in Elder Scrolls Online . With its combination of powerful damage, sustain and speed, this build can take on virtually any challenge in the game, including solo overland content, arenas, and even solo group dungeons. If you play it right, you can easily go through any situation without ever dying.  Let's go through the setup of this build so you can maximize your performance. Start with your stat allocations and attributes, focusing mainly on Stamina. The Lover Mundus stone is a great choice for damage output, but if you're looking for more of a group-focused build then the Thief Mundus Stone will provide a good balance of DPS and sustain. For food, the Lava Foot Soup is ideal for extra Max Stamina and Stamina Recovery. Race-wise, Orc is the best choice for a Stamina-focused Sorcerer due to its bonus Max Stamina, Max Health, extra Healing from dealing damage, extra Weapon an...

Unlock and Obtain Everything in Guild Wars 2 Without Spending Real Money

The quest to unlock and obtain everything in Guild Wars 2 without spending real money sounds like an impossible challenge. However, with the right strategy, it is achievable. For a completely fresh account, the microtransaction enjoyer, it can be done. The micro-transaction enjoyer has already begun the journey by obtaining and unlocking celestial gear, maps, mounts, and more. But the process is far from over. The next steps involve completing meta events, unlocking trinkets, and obtaining weapons. Then, the microtransaction enjoyer can start farming for GW2 gold and use it to buy accessories, backpieces, and other items. The process isn't without its difficulties. The celestial gear has a time-gated component that makes it expensive. Additionally, gold farming requires the micro transaction enjoyer to join the meta train, running through maps and completing events. However, the microtransaction enjoyer has persevered and is close to completing the journey. With a fully unlocked...

Focus on the Things that Make Guild Wars 2 Enjoyable

While the current Gw2 patch may not be what we wanted or expected, it's still important to focus on the things that make Guild Wars 2 enjoyable. Whether it's the community, streaming, content creation, or simply playing with friends, these are the things that will make the game fun. We can't expect the developers to produce content at a rate that we want and we can't let ourselves dwell on what the game could be. Instead, we should focus on what we can do within the game and make the most of the current content. We should also remember that we are the consumers and should not have to bear the burden of any development difficulties the developers may have.  Accept it for what it is. Even though the content released in this patch may have been underwhelming, there are still plenty of enjoyable activities and experiences to be had with the game. Everyone should find something in the game that they enjoy and find ways to keep themselves entertained, such as streaming, con...

Guild Wars 2 Healer Staff Tempest Build Guides

The Staff Tempest is an incredibly versatile healer role in Guild Wars 2 , providing support, healing, and survivability that can be tailored to any situation. This guide will go over the gear, traits, and skills needed to make the most of this build in both PvE and PvP group content. Gear : The most important stats for a Staff Tempest healer are Healing Power, Concentration, and Toughness. The best gear for this role is Minstrel gear, which provides all three of these stats. However, if you don't want to be too tanky in raids, you can mix in some Harrier's gear, which provides more support but less survivability.  If you're looking for more damage potential for solo situations, then go for Celestial stats , which will give you enough support in groups but also allow you to do some damage when alone. If you can't afford these, Magi stats will suffice until you can get the others.  For runes and sigils, the best healing rune is the Monk rune. If you can't get them ...

ESO Clockwork City Event with Zenile and the Golden Vendor this Weekend

If you're a fan of the Elder Scrolls Online , you've likely heard of the Clockwork City event this weekend. The event features two vendors: the Luxury Furnishing Vendor, Zenile, and the Traditional Golden Vendor. Both of these vendors offer some unique and interesting items that can only be acquired during this event.  Starting with Zenile, the Clockwork City theme is definitely apparent. Each of the items has a unique aesthetic that looks great, and many of them are worth picking up. The clockwork clock is only 7,000 ESO gold and is an amazing item to resell in the future. The stargazing thing, mini telescope, and planter are all worth the cost and can be great investments for the future.  At the Traditional Golden Vendor , you can find a variety of rings, jewelry, monster sets, and other goodies. The Hollow Fang set is a great support set and is still worth picking up even though it isn't as sought after as it once was. The Ring of Flanking is a PvP item and is great at...
