Great story tbh

I had a someone similar experience helping a great guy, he bought a weapon and trinket slot for me (I haven't used them because I wanna save those slots for when I have decent third weapons).

About giving people materials to "craft for you", it's a scam and it should be bannable like any other scam. They're not crafting for you, they're crafting for themselves and giving you a non-UV. Not advertising with "chance of UV" doesn't justify it. Crafting in this game implicitly has a chance of a UV.

nice story.

I'm wondering how a 2 days playing newbie could afford 500 CE

You probably taught him the puppy exploit and profited off of him being ultimately banned for cheating.

Shame on you, you bad person.

So nice to hear stories like this! Really nice of you to help this guy, and he's cool for not taking it for granted. Wish all players would be like this.

Also, excuse the noobnes, but what's the primals/hearthstone thing?

If its a bug, it's been reported multiple times as far back as a month ago. If they wanted it fixed, they would've fixed it, they fixed other things in that time period.

And it appears every few topics or so, here's one:

GMs tend to watch stuff and edit stuff, I've never seen a post modded for discussing that whereas I have seen stuff about in game files and improper language being modded. So if it's bad, they have been letting it go for a "long" time. I know it wouldn't take that long to change a 3 star back to a 2 star if they didn't want it to stay that way for awhile, maybe its more of an introductionary thing, but even the star level of critter carapaces changed since the beginning. If you reaaaaaaaaally feel its wrong, make sure you submit your "bug report" f2 and point it out, even though its already been pointed out. Now might be the perfect time since a gameplay update may come soon (I'm guessing this based off of content releases so far).

Anyway primals/hearthstone thing, go to brinks and find the hearthstone trinket that costs 5 primal sparks (just in case it is "fixed" someday make sure it says three stars), just buy those and sell them to the NPC vendor (Kozma is closest). You gain 1200 crowns for every three star trinket. The hearthstone one is the only one that costs just 5 tokens yet is still three star, even if its in appearance only.

EDIT: Kaybol ninja'd me with an answer but I'm going to keep my post as it is lol..

i need help ign rommello

i have no idea wat im doing

@Rommello My guess is it happened because you had no idea what you were doing...

Oh man I crack myself up.

Really cool man, I have made a few new players full 2* gear (after buying a good amount of CE). How I see it is, most of the mats for 1* and 2* gear players in T3 have just stacking up, so why not just help someone out.

Hearthstone: It's reported in that wiki article one month ago, you know how many updates we've had since then? And even then one of those was a star level changing update (critter carapace was changed for 3 star to 2 star). They know how to change star levels with relative ease.

And I don't know anything about a love puppy thing, I have a faint idea but I don't use trinkets (other than selling them to Kozma 8D) so its of no importance to me.

As far as things that make sense, why is that a cavet hall or spiral court (I forgot which) where the entrance is right beside the exit. That makes that stage the easiest in the game (should you choose to leave). The only stage easier than that is an open run through of a deconstruction zone (where the exit isn't blocked by a key). Even treasure vaults require more strategy than that to get out of.

I find it hard to believe that over an entire month, they aren't intentionally looking over this on purpose. Like I said, more like an introductionary thing perhaps, what with energy prices and all, new players (and old ones) could use a relatively easy 1200 crowns. It still requires time and investment to come across those sparks. And indirectly it could cost you nearly 1200 crowns to actively get those anyway (pretending like energy went back to 4000 per 100, then it'd take 3 trips to a stage to get two sparks each just to make your money back from that, it would allow you however to take whatever crowns and mats you gained from that stage as pure profit).

Honestly, running JK dedicatedly can be way worse than that. As long as you know your team can win then you are guaranteed 3 jelly tokens. Well despite everything, I'm a LAZY guy about selling fausts and avengers, so I knowingly turn mine into jelly equipment to sell to Kozma. 3500 ea, effectively 233 per token. While that's less than the 240 a primal spark can get me, I know I can ALWAYS get more Jelly tokens relatively quickly and easily (with perhaps a primal spark as a reward as well).
10 energy to enter (-500) + 1 revive (-250) = 750. 3 JK tokens = 699. Just with only that loss is -51 crowns, BUT the boxes after that as well as the offset of getting a fourth Jelly Gem AND the minerals a four person party will carry out more than cover the last 51 crowns.

So we'll see if the next update they wanna fix that one line of star level coding. If they do, yay, if they don't YAY. Helps me, helps newer players like in the original post. Costs me nothing and doesn't affect business, in fact, creates a few more business transactions than there would be without.
