COSMOS stats and stuff (before 1.6 patch) 49k BR

Hey guys so it's been some time since I've published my stats simply because I did not level up, so I have been staying at level 69 and normally I post them every level, but then i figured the other day that if I am staying level 69 in Wartune at least for now then I should still periodically post my stats since I am getting stronger and stronger.

Now I have cancelled the level 70 I think around 5 times leveling up my low Holy Seal. For some people this will be a good level, but others will say it is not - for these remember that I only got VIP as gift 2 times ever and so I don't get the 50% exp bonus most of the time and that we are still a young server compared to others.

Anywhere so let's start with my stats today in Wartune and first up the Talents to update on my progress on Holy Seal and I also got the Ultimate slasher +5% level 2 done because that makes a big difference even though the 2 extra rage consumption is really annoying.

Next up just confirming my skills that I am an offense knight, I don't have double skills as I am still a non-casher.

Then my strongest area of improvement are the astrals. I did not get any luck to get a red astral so the 2 you see here the Holy Force and Sniper's Edge I exchanged for 15,000 star points each. And a lot of World Boss income went into leveling them up.

Also notice that I am making both a crit build and a will destroyer build for PVE and PVP as I want to be flexible and adapt as needed. I also again tested the Floating astral and as I already posted it is nonsense, but I will keep it for now in case they change the formulae. Also I am keeping illusion because I really like it but I don't have slots to use it.

Next up I share both my stats and my bags as both are interesting to different people. You will notice that I have a great improvement in stats here displaying the crit build with near 3,000 crit without the high level medallion which I will hopefully have one day. I also show what I have in my vault, which is same as before but I got a few more rods from the altar and a few more fashion core shards from spire.

All the clothing above and below is from various events and the clothing upgrades are with fashion cores from events and from spire. The wings below are my article "Get FREE Balens" (see above).

The good thing from my current clothing is that I can start combat with Whirlwind. The bad thing is that it is still not enough rage especially since my ultimate slasher is eating 2 extra rage now. Even 1 or 2 upgrades would make a big difference.

Big Trouble from 1.6 for Battle Ground

Hey guys, new info was announced in the forums that it seems they are changing the levels of Battle Ground also this update and this is going to be a big problem for everyone who participates in BG because a lot of people are sitting at the last level and getting stronger and not leveling up. I heard that they did this level change because of exactly this reason to push people to move. So the new levels, if they are implemented, are:

Battleground Level Brackets have now been changed to the follow:
30-39
35-44
40-49
45-54
50-59
55-64
60-69
65-74
70-80
Players are randomly placed into one of the Battleground groups they fall into when they enter the battleground.

So this means that when I am holding now at level 69 then i could be put into the brackets for up to level 74, which is going to be a huge problem. However, if i do get put into brackets 60 to 69 that would be just wonderful :)

COSMOS gets Will Destroyer for PvP

Hey guys, let's talk a little bit about Will Destroyer. I am now pumping it up to use it for pvp because it has become quite clear that if you are not a top guy (or gal) then it is not possible to just stay with critical attacks for pvp. Criticals are amazing for World Boss and I am of course keeping all my crit astrals as well as gems for every World Boss fight or anything at all which is not pvp, but I am going to be switching to a "solid" knight build for pvp because the armor people have there is so high that unless

I do critical attacks the damage is very low and also survivability is low because of lower defense and health. So now I pumped up Will Destroyer to level 4 today and I will try do battle ground with that and also by switching my crit astrals to PDEF and HP and also then using a Block astral. I have high hopes for this strategy and for PvP (player versus player) it will do better.

I even used star points to help me level up Will Destroyer faster and I put here the picture of that.

LAVASH SHOP | My Wartune Inspired Designs

Hey guys, so I have setup a new shop and used my self-taught graphic skills to create cool designs inspired from Wartune and place them on lots of nice top quality products which are available there. So check out below few examples and would be cool if you could visit the shop and let me know what you think about it? Maybe you have some suggestions for me to improve something or maybe you can say if you just like it or not - any feedback is appreciated! :)

Oh the shop address is http://www.zazzle.com/lavash

When to Increase GOLD Guild Skill

Hey guys, a lot of people pay for the gold guild skill not understanding that it is a waste of money in most cases and your money is better spent on other things and only spent on this when your income is higher. So you can see my analysis below for example when you are earning 5,000 gold then it is maybe (maybe) okay to pay for level 1 gold skill and then you still need to wait 3 months to get your money back while if you wait and raise your income to 10,000 you can get this money back in 1 month, so in my understanding it is better to first invest in yourself and get stronger, etc and only then when your income is higher to invest in the gold guild skill.

For example I have seen a lot of people who earn around 10,000 getting level 6 gold guild skill - i think that's crazy because it would take 8 months to get that money, so it is better to use that 600,000 gold on something else to get stronger / better and when income is 20,000 gold roughly speaking then get it.

Lastly, to say the total opposite, if you just wanna have fun and buy it - it's not a big deal - a lot of people can earn this money in 1 day or few days max, so this analysis is just for people who love to see numbers and strategy and analysis :)

COSMOS in Top 10 of World Boss

Hey guys, really amazing stuff today World Boss I ranked #8 which is awesome because i am a no-casher and on top of that a knight. Also Sylvester got a last hit on WB for the first time since he started playing long ago so congratulations to you Sylv! :)

Anyways, what i did different was i tried manual (normally i do afk mode) and i had less lag luckily and with some lucky double attacks with the ultimate slasher I earned more than 1 million gold and daru which is record earnings for me (afk mode i get ~700-800k), however, the stress levels were higher so i still very much think i will do more of afk mode than manual.

Here are the pictures:

1st Success in Battle Grounds

Hey guys, after soooo many times of getting my butt whipped in the battle grounds today I had my 1st success. There were 3 main factors why it was good today:

• Only ~4 strong enemies who I avoided like the plague
• I looked in the beginning at the BR of most enemies and remembered who are the weak ones and kept on chasing after those
• And last but not the least i leveled up my guild skills attack to level 10 and generally got a little stronger and started using brutality rune with my whirl wind to clean up templars faster.

So all the 3 things above + me getting stronger led to success today, which I am pretty happy about as long time i was just losing honor.

An interesting question is if i can keep doing this and I think not, because most of the time there are quite a lot of powerful enemies out there, but i will certainly try.

Where I get my Luck Stones

Hey guys, a whole bunch of people have been asking me where do I get so many luck stones and I did not even know this was a problem because I never think about luck stones and I end up having lots of them somehow. Well, now I decided to pay a little attention and I can tell you that probably most of the luck stones come from the daily 7-8 blitzes of simple solo campaigns. Here is a picture you can see I did one run and got all this (without using skeleton keys cause I need them for legend stones) and there are lots of luck stones as you can see, so if you do this every day you can imagine you have hundreds.

P.S. I also use a 50% exp scroll with blitz so at my current level I also get 2.675 mil experience as well.
P.P.S. Of course if I would use skeleton keys also I would get a lot more.

Version 4 of Spire Chest drop rates

Hey guys, I published the 4th version of the spire drops from the chests and big thanks to BlodAmber who gathered 244 chests of data from his spire runs and sent it to me. So I have now added it to the ~700 data that I had and now we have a report of nearly 1000 chests which is pretty cool for accuracy of the data. I do wonder about that one person who reported the soul crystals... that might be wrong...

Anyways, you can check out the report just above in the menu.
