The Slayer's Campaign - Loot Caches

Do not click more if you aren't a Slayer's Gaming member and do not understand the Slayer's Campaign meta-game.

With the New Order - Hint #1

One thing to note is that each Adept now has 6 primary stats that can be increased through random follower items dropped from chests or from journeys. Sometimes, though, texts such as what I have seen tonight in my adept's journal can also happen... [22:22] To pass the time on my way, I decided to listen to the “Fauna of Lanber Forest” audio course. [22:25] I discovered many fascinating facts. [22:25] Intelligence increased by 1. [23:34] I met a strolling adept of another cult. He is seriously wounded; he says an Ursun had attacked him. [23:37] I took him to the nearest settlement, where he was attended by medics. [23:37] Constitution increased by 1. This means necessarily you don't need to cap them, they may naturally increase their own stats randomly to the maximum of 10.

Skyforge Ascension Notes: Divine Deeds

Thought Sparks of Divinity and Secret Knowledge was annoying for you to get? Read this! https://www.reddit.com/r/Skyforge/comments/55bsfd/how_long_will_it_take_to_fully_unlock_gomagic_or/d89dyug Source: Reddit - /u/jafnh To fully unlock a god spec you will need about 7000 divine acts. How to get divine acts: ~ Doing dailies (variable amount) ~ Everytime you use divine form and finish a map without losing god form --- Squad = 30 --- Invasion = 50 --- Group = 100 --- Party = 130 ~ Killing Training Avatars = 400 for first clear ~ Killing Champion Avatars = 625 for every clear No limit on how to get.

Prepare Yourself For The Ascension!

The Ascension Pre-Patch is going to launch on  Wednesday October 5th, 2016 Things to be aware of: (click read more)

Ascension: Quick Notes V [Equipment Changes Refined]

This set of Quick Notes to prepare for Ascension comes from the Equipment post made by the NA Portal that appeared early Friday morning. (it is Saturday here now) Equipment Changes from Ascension! Main Weapon Classes no longer have specific Main Weapon bonuses like they used to have. Instead they have flat increases listed below: Based on what quality of weapon you had before Ascension, you will receive the same quality come Ascension. (holding epics = epics in Ascension) In Ascension, Random Epic Item bags are being removed and replaced with credits, no need to actually hold so many items.  Specializations determine what kind of bonuses will be on your main weapon. Tank (Paladin & Knights) Defense from stronger attacks (% based). Blocks damage equal to 1% of character health (% based) Overall damage is increased by (% based) Support (Lightbinder & Alchemist) Support Aura efficiency (basically increases the % damage boost of the aura, since Auras ...

Ascension: Quick Notes IV

The support changes coming in the Pre-Patch are listed below. This is not as large of a post as Part 3. For the reddit post:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Skyforge/comments/53m2jh/wyckshints_group_and_party_composition_in/ In a Party or Group adventure, it is not recommended to have more then 1 Lightbinder and Alchemist in a group. When the Alchemist uses Stimulant Injection, it will randomly buff 3 Damage Dealing classes instead of 1 specific one. Single injection use is removed from the game. Support Auras (they used to give Might bonus) now give a flat Damage % Bonus. Flow of Light (Lightbinder ability) does the same effect as the Alchemist's Stimulant Injection, except it affects 5 Damage Dealing classes instead of specific players.  When casting support abilities that buff players there will be a Weakened state to where players cannot gain buffs for an amount of time. This amount of time is: 8 seconds for Alchemist Stimulant Injection, and 12 seconds for Lightbinde...

Ascension: Quick Notes III

Ascension Quick Notes Part III - Currency Changes Part IV: The Support Changes (coming tomorrow) This post will feature both Currency Changes and Removed Items come Ascension. The Currency Changes do not feature a rate in which they will be converted into, so assume the rate won't be as high as it is intended to be. 

The Cause Behind the Strayan Disappearance

As much as I don't like seeing what I've done, let me break down mental disorders and how severe some people treat them... Some of you don't know this, but deep down when playing Skyforge, I actually disguise a mental disorder. Sometimes when things go severe, they tend to go beyond what people think of that individual. Let's evaluate what happened earlier in the afternoon. Click read more.

What Just Happened In Straya?

I know some of you in Straya might be shocked seeing this but: [15:28] Warden Flamewater has left the room. Let me try to tell you something. When I first came into Skyforge, I was invited by a fellow who played it before me. It tied me into the game a lot. I went from 300 all the way up to 339,000 with my skill, devotion, and my pantheon, Straya. For three months before I caused drama and rage quit due to a personal issue. It is obvious that I wasn't in the right mind, and rage boiled in my body unfortunately. Hatred, fury and all was not what to expect. This was just a wrong move. It won't just hurt me in Skyforge, it will hurt me mentally going into Ascension. Skyforge was also why I got the name "Divine Flamewater" on Steam for Jailbreak. It was because of the word Divine made it look as cool as "Warden Flamewater" when it is my base name on Steam almost always. Besides, you can't use the name Warden in Jailbreak, because there is a role ...

Ascension: Quick Notes II

Some more things I found upon reading the Skyforge Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Skyforge Most of these come from our North American finder - Wyck ( https://www.reddit.com/user/Wyck_Titalus ) Divine Form Costs: As pointed out in my Divine Form changes post: "The cost of turning into a God has changed from 700 to a new figure based on the activity you are doing. This does not factor in deductions found in Divine Specializations such as God of Travel, etc." These changes are listed below: Base cost of turning into Divine Form in Squads and Regions is now 150. (was: 70) Base cost of turning into Divine Form in Invasions, such as Crashed Aircraft is now 200. (was: 700) Base cost of turning into Divine Form in Group Adventures such as Daren Facility is now 300. (was: 700) Base cost of turning into Divine Form in Party Adventures, such as OIA is now 400. (was: 700) Important Note: Purchase the "Preacher Storage Module" after Ascension in the Hyper...

Ascension Preparations ... my thoughts

I know I've been reading a lot about the upcoming "Ascension Update" and how many current players plan on leaving Skyforge. One thing is for certain, I hope the developers seriously read the concerns brought out. A pre-patch is rumored to hit very soon, and I've been forced back into the fray to prepare myself. What do you need to do to prepare yourself? Spend all your Focus of Faith tokens unless you want Victor Medals. Soft-cap your current faith sources. (have 1,000 before a Wednesday) Convert as much credits as possible to Argents. Rumors are that during the pre-patch it won't be possible to do this anymore. Purchase premium as soon as possible. We aren't exactly sure what Premium does, but if you used it a lot, do it often! (I stockpile premium on my main account lol) THIS WEEK ONLY - Farm Applications and do not SPEND them during the promotion. Let's be honest:  If the feedback is horrible over in their main server in Russia (RU is ...

The August 2016 Seasonal Warden's Headlines

This post covers the future of Warden's Challenges, Skill Score, the Strayan Skits, the Star Slayer's Fan Fiction and much more: Future of Warden's Challenges: Due to real life commitments I'm dealing with, these will no longer happen every week or so. This has caused me to forget actually playing games that I've assigned. So, because of that, things will change moving onward. All August 2016 and onward Warden's Challenges are cancelled. Promotional Challenges are the new Warden's Challenges, these happen when a major game release occurs or something huge is about to happen.  Champion's Challenges are the once a month based Slayer's Challenges now. These tend to focus on a specific server and give rewards for players who attempt them. Skill Score: While this system was used before, tracking score became really difficult. However, this does not remove the conditional requirements I will set to release new content for Slayer's, I will...

Warden's Challenge #5 - "I-Idle: The Game"

Straya Border Checkpoint (Character Skit)

This is not relevant to any challenges or Slayer's related content, but as a part of reaching 200,000 Prestige, I thought why not write this small script of a book related to Strayans?

200,000 Prestige in Skyforge

Image
and so it begins... Onward to 250,000! Reward: Nothing (unfortunately) aside from whatever Skill Score gotten from getting from 150,000 to 200,000 (50k points)

Slayer's Challenge #2: The Divine Jail

About Champion's Challenge (In-Depth)

I see a lot of people posting on my first post on forums related to the first Champion's Challenge, so let me clarify this more in detail: There will be 2-3 done per month Value of items may reach up to $20 (work in progress) All Champion's Challenges start with a out of Slayer's server challenge that I must stream Only a certain number of attempts are allowed Some challenge attempts may have harder then standard goals. This usually is countered by rewarding far more superior items in growth. The Slayer's Adventure will likely return in Winter 2016 When the Slayer's Adventure returns, there will be no more Champion's Challenges. You all need to know that these were done to help support players trying to do things differently instead of doing things different. Let me put this in perspective: Assume you want a TTT Champion's Challenge (confirmed on forums to be the 2nd one) Here are possible goals to roll for a chance to win the Grand Prize...

The Champion's Challenge - "Zombie Riot Redux"

Date: Monday July 18, 2016 Game: Zombie Driver HD Challenge: Slaughter: Map: Suburbs Rules: You only get 2 chances to get a gold medal and this must be streamed live! http://www.twitch.tv/wardenstillwater Description: Welcome to the Champion's Challenge. These single challenges award much higher tier items and can be worth a lot more then my standard prize pool (like $1 skins, etc.). The Champion's Challenge also must be streamed on my Twitch, and can only be on games that I can run that support Twitch at the moment. (subject to change) These don't happen as often as standard challenges, but we will see! What are Slayer's Tokens? These rare Tokens are only earned by reaching certain medals in challenges, or for every 25,000 Skill Score earned overall. These will be used to unlock perks and features for future prospective projects and giveaways. What kind of prizes do you expect from Champion's Challenges? Bronze Rating: - AWP Corticera (Minima...

Preview: Slayer's Challenge #2: The Divine Jail

Unlike Warden's challenges, the Slayer's challenges award Missives of Fan Fiction, which are used to unlock new parts to my long awaited fan fiction I'm slowly working on. You get these every 50 points earned during a Slayer's challenge. This 2nd Slayer's Challenge will happen between July 25-29 (5 days). The goals go as followed: Give a proper order as a Warden (+1 point) Kill a rebelling prisoner (+3 points) Get to LR successfully as a Warden (+5 points) *Bonus Objectives will be announced when the challenge starts* (This is after Warden's Challenge #4, in CS:GO DM servers) Halfway through the challenge I will also be giving away a special item to someone in Jailbreak for a single day challenge. This will happen on July 27, and I have not yet announced it, but I will assure you the value is far more then most weapons I've given to date.

Warden's Challenge #3: The Reputable - Wyrmrest Accord

Warden's Challenge #3 The Reputable - Wyrmrest Accord Duration: 5 Days (July 11 to July 15) Game: World of Warcraft Goal: From Neutral to Exalted with The Wyrmrest Accord in 5 days? This challenge has ended. Stay tuned for the next one on July 18.

Challenge Changes and Map Prospectives

When this system was first introduced in my Thank You Letter back in June 2016, I wrote that there are going to be four types of challenges. Now, I have made a decision to change how the system works, and also when maps and projects like the Battleship game in Jailbreak and future map conversions of TTT will happen (since I have a shit computer and try my best to make maps but it is much harder then before.) Click Read More to see more details about this change starting July 10.

TTT Map: Museum 2 - Development Logs

This map will return. I am taking some weeks off to figure out how I want to lay out it, while Aqua is working on various other projects. Developer logs will begin sometime in mid to late July due to personal health concerns. (Last Updated: July 3rd, 2016)

The Skill Level page is now live

For those in Slayers (despite what happened last night), the new approach is for the next 6-12 months I will be competing in a variety of challenges that determine my skill level. Featuring many different games, which one do you wish to see happen next? The Skill Level Page is Live The maximum Skill Level is 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) will I be insane enough to make it that far?

Some upcoming changes (Starting Late June 2016)

Of all the things I've been thinking about lately, Borderlands 3 yes has been announced and I have long forgotten to continue writing content ideas about it. I think it is best to shift away from that - I will still keep them in my archive and will leave whatever I did write. Next up is some of my content in Slayer's Gaming, and a Free-to-Play MMO I like to play a large amount when I'm not in the mood for servers - Skyforge. Stay tuned for posts on that!
