Trying to figure out how many people in SK have vanguard alts. For instance count me in as one...

Edit: As a side game here, bonus points if you know ALL my alts and main.

You mean an alt that has vanguard rank?

What's the point!?

As a vanguard alt as

As a vanguard alt as well...

The point is to:
1) sub for PvP without needing to change guilds.
2) be in more than one guild.
3) back when mist was a thing, you'd have separate mist.
4) Troll people

You don't need to have the alt be vanguard for any of those though...

Timewasters ftw

True, but it's more worthwhile when you're bored I guess. Also if you do PvP tier 3, you need to be defender elite or higher now anyhow, if you're a post pets account.

Alternate char.

No. I don't have any alts. Oh and if your wondering, ranks have nothing to do with how skillful someone is. They are just there to progress in missions.

Why?

Anyway, at some point I got the fancy idea to make Dude (Dude-in-Pink) some pink 5* gear. I wanted it to be stuff I don't have myself too, and no 2 parts of the same set.
That left:
Crown of the Fallen
Valkyrie Mail (I made one for myself, too, in the meantime.)
Royal Jelly Shield
Gran Faust
Umbra Driver

A friend/guild member's alt army (of 5, whose Mist he didn't use much) helped/got part profit for making some base items. (Those alts were dragged to 3* HoH at some point to be able to buy recipes there.)
4* Recipe for Umbra Driver comes free from Missions even!

Tied in with that was of course getting him to Vanguard. Which wasn't my doing. I suck, and Dude's loadout sucks doubly for actually fighting. But I have expert friends who dragged him all the way to the end. (Thank you!)

Dude also got a Spookat Mask and a Forever Puppy hat. Because they're pink. (And he was my very own Trinket dropper while he still had Mist.)

My excuse for all that is, he was going off shouting things like "No more Heat Slaving. No more Rage Crafting away all our mist. No more taking all our things away. Free the Alts!" So I bribed him.
(One of the mentioned friend's alts started it, being cheeky. Since then we have the custom to argue with our alts. Dude picked it up and expanded on it.)

But in reality it's just an accessory. Like Divine Valkyrie Wings on a Hunter Raiment, and Guild Hall, and all the other stuff to blow the crowns on that just pile up sooner or later.

And, well, I guess he got his wish. Most of the time now he's having his beauty sleep, dreaming of kicking us all out of the Guild (he could; he sat on it while I had a look at some others ages ago). Though he does have a Sprite; Pinky. (Seraphynx, that gets fed now and then until those eyes change to something nicer.)

I also made an alt that was supposed to be playable using Dude's Mist, in case crafting would no longer be possible. Stuck at 4* HoH because I don't play him often, but he's meant to get to Vanguard one day. (Playable, hah; all gunslinger is tough!)

Oh, and to round it off, I have a true Forever Noob who is still in Rescue Camp. (Made to greet Steam friends that I'd invited to the game.)

Hooray for finally posting from a computer

I have Alts that are Vanguards. I won't say how many though.

5* alts, yes. Actual vanguards, nope. They were created before the missions and I don't see the point on leveling them.

Actually, I have one, just

Actually, I have one, just one, alt that's fully 5* but not a Vanguard either. I also have Apprentices that can't wear anything higher than Proto Gear that have access to T3 in the Arcade.

Alts are magnificent.

I have one Vanguard alt and one stuck at 5* Hall of Heroes. Didn't bother finishing it up after elevators became free.
