0:00Hey, welcome back. This video will cover
0:02the purchase priorities in the four
0:04different content shops, being the sugar
0:05shop, nightmare shop, abyss shop, and
0:07season shop for both your main and your
0:09alt, as well as the reason why we are
0:10doing certain things. Without further
0:11ado, let's begin with the sugar shop.
0:13Now, given sugar games have allowances
0:15shared across the server, our main
0:16characters will be the one emptying out
0:18most of it. Starting with the David and
0:20crystals, these provide a bunch of item
0:21level, important skill and passive
0:23points, as well as combat power, and we
0:24will want to empty all of it before
0:26moving on to something else. Once this
0:27one has been emptied, we are moving on
0:29to the stigma shop. And same thing, we
0:31are emptying everything before moving on
0:32to the next thing. Next up will be the
0:34paintings. Now, there is a selection of
0:3510 paintings in total, and two of them
0:37are particularly interesting, being
0:39these two. On Asmo side, it is the
0:41Dragon Crash site and the Cake Camp
0:42site. The reason why these are
0:43interesting is because they provide
0:45three illusion and three wisdom, which
0:47is pretty close to being best in slot,
0:48especially since the painting providing
0:50both of those at the same time are
0:51pretty rare in season one. But these
0:53will be the first two we'll be starting
0:54with. With that said, collecting all of
0:55the paintings will provide a title, as
0:57you can see here. And this title is Ever
0:59So slightly better than the one we get
1:01from completing the monolith, and also
1:02provide 1% passive PV damage tolerance.
1:05Yes, the Dominator of Dimension is
1:07better, but most of us will not be
1:09getting that one for a little bit. And
1:10same for the new Hero's Footstep title,
1:12requiring to collect all of the heroic
1:14expedition artwork. So, it is up to you
1:16if you want to immediately go for all of
1:17the paintings after purchasing these
1:19two, but we will eventually want to go
1:21and collect all of them anyways. And
1:22once we're done with these, the next
1:23step will be skins. Now, we're not
1:25buying every skins here, we're just
1:26making a quick stop to purchase the
1:28accessories specifically. And the reason
1:30why we're doing that is these
1:31accessories count towards the closet
1:33collection system, and each of them will
1:34provide attack bonuses for all of our
1:36characters. There is two blues to
1:38purchase, as well as two golds. And once
1:40we pass these, we're moving over to the
1:41wings. Now, the passive effects of most
1:43of these wings are pretty bad, but they
1:45do provide additional flight power and
1:47do count towards certain achievements.
1:49So, we will actually want to collect all
1:50of these. And once done, the next step
1:52will depend on you. You can either go
1:53back and finish collecting all of the
1:55skins to get all of the armor defensive
1:57bonuses, or you can move on to doing
1:59sugar games on your alts in order to
2:01collect the Davanan crystals and the
2:02stigma shards in order to fuse them up.
2:04Your mileage may vary. Additionally, do
2:05note that the Regna Odyl that you can
2:07collect from the sugar game is per
2:09character and can be transferred in the
2:11server storage. So, if you want to do
2:12some rounds on all of your characters
2:13eventually, collect the free Regna Odyl,
2:15that is also an option, although it's
2:17not the most urgent thing. And that's
2:18pretty much it for the sugar shop. Next
2:20up, the nightmare shop. Now, this one is
2:22per character and all of our characters
2:24will proceed similarly with one change
2:26at the end. But on both of your main and
2:28your alts, once again, you will start
2:29with the Davanan crystal, purchasing all
2:3150 of them, then move on to the stigma
2:33shard. But you will not purchase all of
2:35them. Instead, you will purchase about
2:3620 to 20 five, then hold on to your
2:38points. And the reason why you're doing
2:39this is because [music] the next step is
2:41to purchase the season colossus, which
2:42costs 14,000 coins. Now, in order to
2:44collect 14,000 coins, you'll need about
2:47the worth of one entire green boss plus
2:49the first Ezekiel clear. Now, obviously,
2:51you will be able to collect some extra
2:53coins by clearing the further Ezekiel
2:54levels, but if you want to get your
2:56colossus off rip as soon as you get
2:57Ezekiel, you will need to do that. Once
2:59you're done collecting the colossus, you
3:00can go back to the growth tab, finish
3:02purchasing the stigmas, and after that,
3:04that's where things will change between
3:05your main and your alt. Your alt will
3:07move on to buying skins for the same
3:08reason as mentioned on the sugar shop.
3:09Once again, you will start with the
3:11accessories that can be found in the
3:12bottom two menus, and once you're done,
3:14you can move on to collecting the two
3:15skins here. They provide the same
3:16bonuses, so the order doesn't matter. If
3:18you want to collect the lower cost one
3:19for both simultaneously, that is a
3:21completely valid option. On your main,
3:23however, things are a bit different.
3:25Since your alts are purchasing the
3:26skins, you will not need to purchase
3:27them on your main. So, you have two
3:28options. First, you can hold on to your
3:30points and wait to buy the nightmare
3:32wings, as these provide pretty good
3:34passive stats, as well as fairly decent
3:36equipped effects for classes that don't
3:37necessarily care as much about the
3:39Telestar wings CDR. And the same goes
3:41for the blue ones for the passive
3:42effects. Although buying the gold wings
3:44will take a long time and will most
3:45likely bleed into season two. The other
3:47option is, if you got unlucky with the
3:49clash ones you got when doing your
3:51regionals during your initial character
3:52setup, you have the option to buy
3:53additional Clash Room attempts for 500
3:55points each. My personal recommendation
3:57would be to at least push both of your
3:59Clash Rooms to plus three, as the odds
4:01are pretty okay, and plus three is the
4:03threshold for you to start gaining PvE
4:05damage boost. Now, I would not recommend
4:06gambling them up until plus six, plus
4:08seven, because these are pretty
4:10unlikely. But, if you want to push them
4:11to four or five with your additional
4:13points before moving on to the wings, I
4:15do believe that is fairly reasonable.
4:17And that's it for the Nightmare Shop.
4:18Next up, we have the Abyss Shop. And
4:20this is another one that is
4:21character-based. Now, let's have a look
4:22at your main source first. Once again,
4:24in the growth tab, there's going to be a
4:26whole bunch of stigma shards that you're
4:27going to be able to find here. In fact,
4:29there is a total of 200 stigma shards,
4:30which is the bulk of the stigma shards
4:32you will need in order to reach your
4:33full level 20s. When it comes to your
4:35main, you're pretty much stuck buying
4:37this until you're done drying it up. And
4:39buying all of these will set you back
4:40about 3.5 million AP, which may take a
4:43while, especially if your server is
4:44struggling with core dolls. But, we
4:45don't really want to move on to buying
4:47anything else until this is over, as
4:49this is the most important resource of
4:50the entire category. Now, with that
4:51said, you can take a fork toward the
4:54Davinan Asphalt Tiles during your
4:55progression in events where you're like
4:57just shy of reaching an item level
4:59threshold to push into the next level of
5:01content, as these will provide with one
5:03item level per tile. But, until you're
5:05done with stigma shards, I would really
5:06only do that if you're really, really
5:08desperate and have no other ways to get
5:10item level. Now, once you're done with
5:11these, we have a couple of things to
5:13look at and a couple of things to think
5:14about. First is the metal category. I
5:16would not recommend spending AP into
5:18metals. Silver metals are incredibly
5:19easy to get, and the amount of AP they
5:21require per week is incredibly high. So,
5:23personally, I would ignore this category
5:24entirely. Next are other items within
5:26the growth category. Now, first are
5:28potential stones. These are once again a
5:30pass in my opinion for now. They are
5:31very expensive, and the thing is,
5:33potential upgrades to your armor provide
5:35PvP stats, which is nice, but they do
5:37not carry over when you upgrade your
5:39equipment. And with AP being a finite
5:41resource, and with the potential
5:42upgrading costing so much AP, I don't
5:45really think this is a relevant thing
5:46for us as of now. At least not on our
5:48main, but more on that later. Next are
5:50the fierce amulet enhance scrolls. Now
5:52these are used to upgrade the PvP green
5:54amulet that you obtain during the MSQ.
5:56If you do PvP, this is actually somewhat
5:58valuable. And as far as the
5:59cost-effectiveness, I would probably
6:01recommend purchasing the first 10 in
6:03order to reach the blue stage of the
6:04fierce battle amulet if you care about
6:06PvP. As the gold one, while nice,
6:08provides perfect chance which in PvP
6:09isn't that relevant and the same upgrade
6:11to PvP damage boost will cost close to a
6:14million AP to reach as opposed to simply
6:16costing 175k AP to reach the blue one.
6:19Buying 10 to get the blue amulet if you
6:20do PvP is decent, but I would stop there
6:22for now and resume later once AP is a
6:24bit less difficult to obtain. Next there
6:26is the Divining Crystal. Now this will
6:28probably be my next step after the blue
6:30amulet. As these once again provide eye
6:32level which which while it doesn't
6:34provide much power in PvE, is nice to
6:36reach important thresholds to enter
6:38content and also really provides really
6:39nice PvP bonuses like PvP damage boost,
6:42tolerance, as well as status effect
6:43chance and resist. Although the steps
6:45get a bit steep and I will probably only
6:47focus on the first two steps as of
6:48season one. Now after a couple of step
6:50up Ispherical tiles, I will be looking
6:52at skins. Now the Decanus one, we'll go
6:54over these in just a little bit, but the
6:55Centurion one. As these require silver
6:57medals which are mainly collected by the
6:59main. Now within these I will be looking
7:01to buy the accessories first as these
7:03provide PvP damage bonuses which
7:04obviously not only improve your PvP
7:06prowess, but also helps with grinding in
7:08the abyss as PvP damage bonuses do apply
7:10to abyss monsters. And once these two
7:11accessories are purchased, then it's
7:13going to be a balancing act between
7:15purchasing the armor when metals allow,
7:17purchasing the gold wings, as well as
7:19going back in the growth menu to
7:20purchase more Ispherical tiles and
7:22fierce battle amulet upgrades in order
7:23to further upgrade the PvP amulet. And
7:25that kind of concludes what I'm going to
7:26do in season one for my main. Now for
7:28the alts, however, things will look a
7:30bit different. Now there's a couple of
7:32things to consider here. Alts mainly get
7:34their AP from doing the abyssal
7:35corridors which obviously if your server
7:37doesn't get much of that, then you also
7:38not get much action in this menu. If you
7:40do get corridors, however, you will be
7:41getting a whole bunch of AP for running
7:43these. And there's really four main
7:45things to consider here. The first one,
7:46if we go back in the skin category, are
7:48the Decana skins. These do not cost
7:50metals and have pretty low AP cost. And
7:52given that they're skins, they go into
7:53your skin wardrobe and that closet
7:55effect apply to all of your characters.
7:57Which means that if you purchase an
7:58abyss skin on your alt, your main will
8:00also benefit from the PvP bonuses. Which
8:02is the reason why we are skipping the
8:03Decana skins on our main and just buying
8:05them on our alts instead. Once again,
8:06following the same logic of buying the
8:08accessories first in order to take
8:10advantage of the PvP tag bonus first,
8:11then cycling and purchasing all of the
8:13armor skin. Now, again, because this is
8:15shared, do note that you can spread all
8:16of the different purchases across all of
8:18the different alts. Like alt number one
8:20can buy the chest, alt number two can
8:21buy the legs, alt number three can buy
8:22the headpiece. It doesn't matter, it all
8:24goes towards the same pool. And
8:26additionally, rebuying the skins on
8:28every character, if you already have a
8:29duplicate of it, will send it to your
8:30closet as a duplicate to be gambled.
8:32There is a merit to buying those even if
8:34you already purchased them. Now, once
8:35your alts are done purchasing these, we
8:37have two things to look at. First, we
8:39look at the potential stones we were
8:40talking about earlier. Now, the thing
8:41that's interesting about the potential
8:42system is that while expensive in AP,
8:45the potential system can be interacted
8:47with with your alts. Which means that
8:49you can transfer a piece of equipment
8:51from your main to your alt. And if your
8:52alt has a potential stone, as well as a
8:54base point, they can tap the piece of
8:56equipment to potential to potential it
8:58up. Which means that while we don't
9:00necessarily want to have a look at this
9:02on our main because the cost is
9:04because the cost effectiveness is not
9:05the best, we can actually purchase these
9:07on our alts and then enhance them using
9:09our alt AP. Now, in the short term,
9:11maybe not, but in the long term,
9:12especially from season two onwards, when
9:14we get the second layer of the abyss and
9:16we get more cordials and more sources of
9:18passive AP for our alts, this is
9:19definitely something that will come into
9:20play. Next up is the consumable
9:22category. More specifically, mana stones
9:24and Theo stones. Now, mana stones have a
9:25weekly purchase of 50 and these can be
9:27purchased on your alt and then crafted
9:29on your main or any other character to
9:31be turned into PvP mana stones that can
9:32be sold on the auction house. And they
9:34will actually fetch a pretty decent
9:36price. So, this is the money maker right
9:37here. Now, another thing that you can
9:39purchase are the Feiton stones. Now,
9:40these in Taiwan and Korea were pretty
9:42common. You could literally just lift a
9:44rock in the wild and you would find a
9:45Feiton stone, but on Global they're
9:46actually pretty rare. Now, these boxes
9:48will provide you with bound Feiton
9:49stones, so you cannot sell them. But, if
9:52you need additional Feiton stones for
9:53your main, given the Feiton stone system
9:55is shared across your different
9:57characters, you can buy Feiton stone
9:59boxes on your alt, open them, use the
10:01Feiton stone, and then socket the Feiton
10:03stone obtained on your main character.
10:06So, this is another way for your alt to
10:07provide important material to your main
10:09through the Abyss shop. And finally, is
10:11the growth menu. Now, now something that
10:13I would recommend is to consider the
10:14long-term health of your alt because
10:16while it is all fun and games to send
10:18your alt into the crowd cave gulag and
10:20to not have them make any gains, it also
10:22means that at some point your alt will
10:23be so weak compared to the current
10:25relevant content that whatever gains
10:27they get you at this point will not be
10:29sufficient anymore. So, while I would
10:31not recommend hard pushing your alt by
10:32investing millions of Keena's into them
10:34because they would defeat the purpose,
10:35slow and steady growth of your alt will
10:37be nice in order to maintain their
10:39relevance throughout season two. And
10:40purchasing stigma shards is part of that
10:42care. So, personally, what I'm doing is
10:44that now that I'm done with the
10:45Decalogue skin, I'm now going back and
10:47purchasing the cheapest stages of stigma
10:49shards for my alt in order to get their
10:51important skill to 20 at the bare
10:52minimum. And that concludes the look at
10:54the Abyss shop. Now, last but certainly
10:56not least, let's have a look at the
10:57season shop. Starting with your main,
10:59obviously. Now, there is a couple of
11:00things to consider here. First, during
11:02your initial growth journey, one of the
11:04main interaction you will have had with
11:05the with the season shop will at least
11:07have been to purchase one mysterious
11:08crystal in order to craft your gold
11:10chalice Akana to push to the 2100 item
11:12level range. So, this is the first thing
11:14we will consider on your main. Now, the
11:15main chase for the season are the
11:17Teredal wings. These are basically
11:19mandatory to get as fast as possible for
11:21certain classes. Although, other classes
11:22are not as pressed about it. The classes
11:24that mainly care about these,
11:25specifically for the cool down reduction
11:27line, are sorcerer, spirit master,
11:29assassin, and Carrick. The other the
11:31classes also make good use of these for
11:33now, especially until we get better
11:34wings for these classes in season 2. But
11:36ultimately, everyone will want to buy
11:38them if only for the nice passive attack
11:41and accuracy bonus. And these come at
11:42the cost of 210k season coins. Now, the
11:45thing to consider with coin management
11:47is that on a weekly basis, you can
11:49collect about 45,000 coins by just doing
11:52the weekly quest within the season
11:53category. Some of these quests are more
11:55or less difficult to do, and a lot of
11:57them involves PvP. And the average
11:59player will probably be making around
12:0130,000 coins per week. Additionally, you
12:04have seasonals, and these provide a heap
12:06of additional coins. But the long story
12:08short is that throughout the season, you
12:10will be able to collect around 600,000
12:12coins as long as you are pretty diligent
12:14about your weekly quests. So, while
12:16people are very very pressed about
12:18collecting 200,000 coins, quite frankly,
12:20as long as you play the game normally,
12:22even if you buy all the stuff in the in
12:24the season shop, you will have more than
12:26enough to purchase the wings.
12:27Additionally, even if you happen to not
12:29be able to purchase them within season
12:301, these will return in season 2, 3, 4,
12:33and onwards. These are still available
12:35in the season shop in Taiwan and Korea
12:37to this day. Now, with that said,
12:39obviously, if you are part of the four
12:40classes that I mentioned, I would
12:42definitely prioritize getting them, but
12:44don't lose sleep over it. You'll be
12:45fine. Now, the next category that you
12:47want to have a look at is the material
12:48category. Now, these will help within
12:50your crafting journey. Within this menu,
12:52there's a couple of things to consider.
12:53First, when crafting the first stage of
12:55the Draconic equipment, do note that the
12:57end result will not be bound, which
12:59means that you can technically use an
13:01alt, like for example, handycrafter,
13:03then purchase these in order to make the
13:04Draconic equipment, then send it to your
13:06main to use. And the reason why you may
13:08want to do that is because these cannot
13:09be shared in the server storage, which
13:11means that the character that buys it
13:13will have to use it. The only exception
13:15within that uh is the Radiant Odyl. This
13:17one can actually be placed in the server
13:19storage, which means that you can use
13:20your alt's coins in order to get five
13:22Radiant Odyl for free. And overall, I
13:24would definitely recommend using this
13:25category in order to help your crafting
13:27journey, especially with the raffle
13:29minds and and dimension rinne to deal.
13:31Now, your mileage on the cost
13:32effectiveness of the rest may vary. And
13:34on the topic of alts, let's have a look
13:36at the skins category. Now, this will be
13:37the main one your alts are looking at.
13:39And once again, we are prioritizing
13:41purchasing the offensive skins, so the
13:43accessories here. And all of this will
13:44pretty much be the main stuff that your
13:45alt will be purchasing this season. With
13:47the exception of the weapon, unless you
13:49have an alt that also wields the same
13:50weapon as your main. As obviously, this
13:52weapon skin will vary depending on the
13:54class of your alt. And that concludes
13:55the main purchases of the season
13:57category. With that said, we have a
13:58couple of extra things to look at. Let's
14:00say you have a couple of extra spare
14:01coins on your main after buying
14:03everything you wanted. There's a couple
14:04of things in terms of cost effectiveness
14:06to consider. First, are the cube keys.
14:08There's only 10 of these, it's 30,000
14:09coins. You might as well purchase these.
14:11Next, are the battle scrolls. Again,
14:13this is 60,000 coins and this will
14:14provide you with 100 in total, which is
14:16honestly pretty good considering we have
14:18very few sources of these. And finally,
14:19within the growth category, there's a
14:21couple of things to consider here. Once
14:22again, you have cash runes. If you want
14:24to gamble more cash runes to gamble them
14:25to plus five, this is certainly a source
14:27of them. Next are the amplification
14:29stone fragments and while there's only
14:3020 of them, they are honestly pretty
14:32cheap. So, I would honestly empty them
14:33out if you have nothing else to buy. And
14:35finally, let's have a look at the
14:36philosopher's stones. Now, these, quite
14:38frankly, I would not really prioritize
14:40purchasing given the fact that they are
14:42already available as PD within the hard
14:44modes and we will be getting more from
14:46Ludra and they are very, very expensive.
14:48You will have to spend 60,000 coins to
14:50open one philosopher's stone slot, which
14:52is pretty steep especially when you
14:53consider the fact that philosopher's
14:54stone slots do not stay when
14:56transferring your piece of equipment.
14:57And that pretty much concludes the
14:58season category as well as this video.
15:00So again, if you like the video, make
15:01sure to leave a like and subscribe. I
15:03stream this game several times a week on
15:05both Twitch and YouTube for degenerate
15:07hours right now. So, make sure to swing
15:08by and say hi. Until next time,
15:11take care.
