So I'm not exactly a new recruit, but I sorta am. Last time I really played SK was before sprites even came out, and when RSS was a necessary bomb because it hadn't been patched into what it is now. I logged on again, picked up a seraphinx (or however you spell that), and then ended up falling out of it again because I got busy with stuff. I'm planning on getting back into SK now, (especially since you don't need to pay energy for elevators anymore omg) and I had a few questions I wanted to ask. I've got T2 gear, working towards T3. When I logged on, I started crafting ash tail stuff, so I've already made a bit of progress, even though I have some heavy demo suits laying around.
1. Used to be a main bomber. Seems like swords are the ways to go now after RSS died, seeing as I don't really have other upgraded bombs to 4* (although now that I think about it I have the 4* electron), and I already have a DA and that 4* strike needle thingamajigger. Am I right in thinking swords are generally the most common way to go if you're still trying to get gear?
2. Are bombers irrelevant now? In terms of both PvE and PvP. Perhaps it's garbage in one but still useful in the other?
3. When it comes to making money, I used to tag along on FSC runs with friends/guildmates. Obviously, I'm not really into any communities in SK at the moment. Assuming I can't find a way to do that, are Jelly runs still the fastest way for me to make money at this time? People don't do Basil runs anymore right?
4. Anyone have an ACTIVE guild that I might be able to be a part of? I know im not T3 but I've beat Vana before and I used to be good at LD. Although I'm probably garbage now hahahaha. (Sorry if this part belongs in guild recruitment. Figured I'd rather post here, b/c it's more likely for me to find nicer people helping out noobs like me in the New Recruits forum :P)
Thanks for the help in advance. Sorry if the questions are ridiculously dumb or outdated or anything like that. I've been gone for quite a while and I'm still trying to remember everything .___.
1. well, swords are rediculously powerful, especially the brandish family, stupid OOO even buffed Acheron, making it more do more damage as it already have. However, if you are going to play arcade alot ( you can play as much SK as you want nowdays), bombs are still pretty crucial for compound levels and arenas, where enemies come in horde or large group.
2. I am a part time bomber and a full time swordgunner so I can't answer that question properly, however, DBB, VT and dark retribution are still very viable choices in both PvP and PvE.
3. Basil runs are still viable way to make money, and it is probably the best way, since in RJP nowdays you can't find enough heat crystals to upgrade any bombs after 3*, arcade run are in fact the best way to get the stuff you want while still breaking the monotony of FSC, I swear I will puke my guts out if I play one more vana run.
4. For active guilds, since Jempire and some other big guilds faded out recently, the only big guild left that are actively recruiting is probably Lionheart, I think you can find some familiar faces there. For me, I will just be lone wolf until the last day of cradle.
Ps. you may also want to take a seraphynx as a pet, bomber could do with some health and what not.
