i downvoted because all youtubers saying do excavating, i did it for like a month and got jack shit. you only get blue or purple tool kits from the maps, huge gold sink with tools and crafting mats, and no pay off at all for me.
Its still good to get your trading skills all to level 30 when you feel like it or can. I couldn't achieve some seeds because I wasn't level 30 in mining at the time. So I am sure there is more things in the game you need trading skills at 30 or more.
Lol..all these so called "make tons of gold" vidz is a load of hot air if your in EU servers…
Wtf I’ve been neglecting my stronghold
U forgot to tell people you can try the mini game multiple times! If you fail it, just esc out and wait for the relic to despawn then re-dig and try again.
If Punika only gives Epic Tier Relics I would actually prefer The Azure Wind Island, it's not an Adventure Island, it's open 24/7. First of all, the few mobs scattered around are easily dispatched, nobody is Excavating there on EU, thirdly you get a Super Fast Mount exclusively usable there and you can technically activate the Sonar Buff and mount up at the same time. I got from Lvl10-20 in 2 hours, roundabout, there.
at this point i'm afraid to ask what is the said mini game
Just subbed to you a few weeks ago.Love your vids an loved that used MvC2 OST in the background <3
are the legendary and relic tool boxes a rng drop in the excavating maps? i already did a lot of the maps but never got higher than epic
Another banger vid!
And where is the guild making part? Just selling the material?
I have no idea how the sniffer dog works, do you know?
Love the content, thanks!
There is a trick if you can do with crafted maps, remember where portals are (all of them are in Sacred Garden) and go to next map location as fast as u can to stack Archaeological senses, once you get x5 stacks, teleport to Tikatika colony (Top tripod, there is a relic right in front of tripod) and do free Minigame. Also you can boost rewards from minigame by using Leap's Essence + Sniffer Dog. Don't use Sniffer Dog for any other purpose, only for minigame or you will effectively lose trade energy, if you want to get rid of Sniffer Dog buff just teleport to other region (From Tikatika to Nia Village for example) and teleport back and buff will be gone, or you can just wait for buff to naturally expire.
Did I miss the part where he said how the money is being made via excavating?
I farm yorn cause all the punika routes are disgusting, or bilbrin for my lower level accounts xddd I spend hours amongst the bots and occasionally we chop trees together
Definitely been working on getting my excavating up now and I see you're a man of culture. I hear that MVC2 music in the background 😉
Any tips on how to sell mats? Just sell raw mats? Convert mats then sell? Or craft something to sell? I know the market changes, but just hearing how you go about it is cool
1. Omg the Minigame bar bounces back!!! I've been excavating for over a month and I always tried to do it on the first pass…
2. The guide title says his to make money but you only say how to do excavating. I almost always get crap from maps
3. Why focus so much on runspeed, like we could farm for hours? Life energy lasts like 15 min of excavating, getting faster to nodes isn't so important when you can't do many nodes
you lost me with needing a second shovel.
Those island souls sitting in the bag like that are triggering the fuck out of me
secret forest is always crowded in my server, and even in hours with few players it will only have 1 channel with people doing excavations, it's a fucking pain in the ass
Would it be better to save up a bunch of the actual excavating materials, or craft punika maps to get t3 honing increase materials? I’ve been making massive profit with the maps but all the t3 honing increase materials plummeted because of the most recent patch, but I’m not sure if they will bounce back up.
anyone else notice that the relics given have been nerfed?
i used to grab 120-170 (tried with and without leap essence) but not getting the same returns as before the patch.
almost at 100 punika maps. ZERO master kit…
That was expert advice about using the cards for movement cooldown. TY TY
What about the sniffer dog when to use him?
Don't even try to go for excavating if either your fps isn't stable or you suck at timing clicks which the minigame requires of you(like I do, I should have already learned my lessons from games that I previously played based around the same mechanism). Was foolish for me to give excavation a go(again…). I'm already after 3 weeks of using my work energy regularily only on excavating. I think that in the time I had around at least a few dozen minigame attempts by far and even with an expert excavating tool with -3 minigame difficulty I still failed all of the minigames, because the game intentionally makes only 2 of the 3 bars bigger, but the last one is always really short and just nearly impossible to hit. On top of that the 15 seconds limit is just awful for such a difficult timing window – doesn't even let one focus properly, not to mention that for 2 out of 3 success on the minigame you won't be awarded with anything even at the very least better than what would you get from regular excavating, meanwhile if you fail all 3 of the spots you get literally NOTHING, not even a regular reward. Completely wasted trade skill in this game which is based around "all or nothing", there isn't anything in between, same goes for Excavation treasure maps on Punika. I've done 40+ of them, and the best loot I've got was an expert crafting kit(ONLY ONCE), which I used of on my minigame shovel. The drop from all the remaining maps that I've run was absolute garbage, and they never paid off back to me the investment cost that they required.
THE WORST TRADE SKILL IN THE GAME, that only a select few with the skill can benefit from, as there's again: nothing in between for a regular playerbase. Absolute waste of time to begin with. I'd sacrifice my 30 levels of excavating into fishing at any time.
I haven't done the math but pretty sure making the maps is a loss now probably sadly.
is there any reason to do excavating in punikka over azure? if the fushion mats are not the intended sale, isnt azure then overall more lucrative?
nihililililli thoughts island.
Good video as always. I'm a L30 excavator (just in T2), and to add just a couple comments: 1. I believe the mini-game automatically gives you super armor even if your tool does not, so you don't necessarily need to clear the mobs once you're at 5 stacks; and 2. I found it works well to dig up a node, then immediately change channels. The majority of the time, the next channel will have a node in the exact same spot (since they are all in fixed spots), so you can dig and get another stack within a few seconds of the last. Doesn't always work, but it does more often than not. PS, gotta show off your dog when you hit 30 (even though he's not all that useful)!
My main is in t3 a deathblade but my bard is in t2 but was way more swiftness, I’m thinking my bard is best to farm ?
