Get the other and add your voidstones by 50%!

That's what I did the other day.

Only problem is, Beguiling Radiance fight is actually kindof tough if you don't have all forms of damage (aka H2H, non-H2H blunt, Ranged Attack, non-ranged attack Piercing, Slashing, and Magical) unless you can proc a weakness using Provoke.

Even then, the KI is not guaranteed, because this is from Promidence and not technically VW (there are no lights associated with it). Good news is that each fight doesn't use a stone, so you can try it as many times as you can as long as you have the KI that goes with that fight to do it.

He is going down pretty quickly now, still no good drops but I'm optimistic.

you're looking at it wrong for the discussion KN

think of it by voidstone count. each character uses 1 voidstone and shares the same spawn point and spawn time. so his efficiency goes up x 6 with amount of spawns required per pouch.

it's not about counting the rolls given. it's about boosting the efficiency per NM spawn.

It's the same method of going into a group of 6, and, after everything is said and done, having 5 characters trade all the good ***to the 6th.

It doesn't work for everyone. Not everyone can or wishes to 6-box.

You aren't increasing the rate of the drops, you are giving yourself more chances (aka "rolls") of the drops.

You might as well 18 man the pop if you want true "efficiency" then.

Unless your luck is really bad, you should average out towards the end.

Almost any pc in 2020 can handle 6-boxing old free chars sitting at a flux at minimal settings during this free login time at no cost.

almost no one can 18-box the same thing, character wise or hardware wise.

Not 6 characters on the same account. The "Return Home" campaign requires you to have had a character to begin with, which costs money to buy a POL ID for.

Plus let's not forget the fact that by the time you get those same "5 new characters" leveled up to 75 (the minimum level to attempt VW) you still need access to sky, which on itself a whole set of hurdles to accomplish. Plus, with new characters, you have zero stones to use.

This would only work if you were 6-boxing in the first place.

You branch out though. I've gotten quality songs from you outside the jingle bells.

Does it involve Batman's hygiene and Robin laying an egg?

Or if you had good friends that left the game (99.9% of us) that you could log in and stand around at the voidspawn for free.

I'm pretty sure that almost all of us would not give out our login information to others, given the off-chance that if we ever quit, we would want to come back one day.

Hell, I quit, what, I think 5 times over the years and I came back all 5 times. This game is an addiction.

To each his own. I got like 20+ friends login info so I could take them to events I happen to do that they might have needed etc or to let them afk nearby for goodies/exp/to help drop rates.

like a circle of friends over the years helping each other out, not emptying or killing the chars. It's all about how well you can gauge a person's nature.

Are all those characters on the same server and/or name starts with a Josi?

had my annual review today (albeit 6 months late, thanks covid), got a 6% raise, totally wasn't expected, thought they would try to screw me and give me nothing due to all the layoffs, firings, etc.

was nice to hear from all my coworkers, they all say i'm doing super great and management says i'm on track to be promoted a year early to senior! really awesome to be validated as a horrible dyslexic accountant that learned nothing in college '-';

Opioids can cause constipation and indigestion. Either of those the kind of gut pains?
