Dear Crate, about shattered realm...

[sir_spanksalot]

I feel like that happens to everyone though.

In my experience,

• I started GDstashing greens everywhere, before I realized these builds were crazy unrealistic
• So I started reducing the number of greens I’d allow my character to use. It used to be 2, and now it’s 1

I think it’s fair to leave it at 1 if you’re trying to build a character capable of taking crazy end game content.

But I’ll also try to build a budget version so other players have an idea of how to progressto that stage.

I ran through only to about 30 so far. There were a few situations where I needed to pilot well though, I actually went to half HP at like floor 10 because I got swarmed by aether crap everywhere and 2 pets actually died, which was REALLY surprising. Haven’t had anything since then, and I kinda ragequit cause I crashed and had to restart from like 15. That, and I wanted to play HC.

I will go back and push it some more once I test this primal spirit build. I can foresee some problems with the build I’m running now on the conjurer not having enough damage – the defensives are fantastic, but if it gets hit enough, it’s going to die.

I wonder if the new expansion is tailored to make life difficult for pets

Funny how hard it seems to be to have a patch where all build structures perform equally well in general.

[sir_spanksalot]

You can thank sigatrev for that.

At what shard levels do the rewards start to be decent?
Also, is there somewhere a breakdown of guaranteed rewards per shard (e.g. skillpoimts, special set items, blueprints)? Are the medal augments a random drop or there are fixed rewards as well?

I did my first run until shard 15, got a mandatory recipe, a few epics and one MI. Poor, considering the time spent.

[Ceno]

Ceno, mate - quick question

When you say you made it to shard 90, do you mean without dying once?

Correct, but I waystoned to 60 for that run.

The road to 100 involved many deaths, and it’s there that I stopped. I believe other Praetorians have made it to 110 - either Autentist or Adoomgod, or both, can’t recall - but I haven’t managed that yet. Edit: Stupid Dragon and Dikkiedik have pushed very highly in HC, well past 60.

We’ve found doing 75-76 runs to be pretty profitable given the time investment.

Skillpoints stop being rewarded after Shard 25. Medal augments are random. The Shattered Realm set, I believe, drops individual parts of it at distinct depths.

Daaaaayuuuuum ceno.

To paraphrase Samuel Jackson from pulp fiction, ‘Check out the big brains on [Ceno].’

Doom got to 105 i believe, but he got some surprises there.

I think he got pretty much every dangerous Nemesis in the game at once.

[sir_spanksalot]

Oh…doom

The irony is real.

HOLD THE FUCK UP - was. this. on. solo.

[Maya]

Btw, how do the new shrines function in SR? Also can you have more than one active at the same time? I am assuming it isn’t like Crucible banners?

And do they affect pets?

[Norzan]

Oh…doom

HOLD THE FUCK UP - was. this. on. solo.

Yes, it was on solo. He got two Reapers, the Eldritch Nemesis, Grava and a couple of others.

[sir_spanksalot]

Yes you can. Shrines appear at random, and last for a certain period of time (can’t confirm how long)

They also come with a slight debuff. So like, oleron’s shrine increases damage at the expense of phys res.

BUT the tradeoff is always beneficial.

[Maya]

I see, I see.

Btw, is there a softcap on how deep you can go? Like, after a while things stop scaling interms of monsters/rewards etc. Or is it truly endless?

They might have updated since but a bunch of playtests ago loot stop scaling at 87 and SR scaling stops at 200. But Even in multiplayer nobody is going to reach 140 lol.

Heh, I wonder what it looks like at 200 then

Here is what appears to be a superboss in Shattered Realm. Wasn’t very difficult and I don’t know if it is common or not.

It’s mot the only one, I’ve encountered 4 or 5 different types of these. One even drops unique item.

[Norzan]

Shattered Realm has special shards with weird stuff. It’s break up the monotomy of basically going through the same maps, fighting the same stuff.
