I like the ones with fire lasers, walls of fire, bombs, and green-maybe-poison lasers.

I also finally figured out how to deal with arenas thanks to my ascended-calibur charge attack + run away tactics. Go me!

Where can you find Iron Gear and Gremlin Gizmo? I've never seen any of them drop.
Constructs and gremlins. Think gun puppies and robots for your iron gear needs. After a few delves into levels heavy with them they are not a problem anymore.

I just found out another way... the Token trader. I traded 2 Primal Token for 1 Iron Gear.

Heh. Arenas. 10 mins of running around the edges of the arena shooting my peashooter lava pistol into a crowd of electrified robots and winning without a scratch. Good times, good times.

Yes, but at the same time, Primal Sparks have some of the worst stuff of the three Sparks. If you can find something that you actually can use there, more power to you... However, I think that kcwong ment Forge Sparks, which are much more valuable, and which you should probably try to avoid wasting on iron gears, so that you can use them to purchase sun silver later on.

Side note: As far as I know, you can still trade 5 Primal Sparks for a Harthstone Pendant, which you can sell to the NPCs.

Edit: Nope, they patched it. While you CAN still buy the pendant and sell it, you now only get 250 crowns for it, down from 1,250 crowns.

Some dumbass bought my shitty 1* bolted blade for 3.5k. I'm using the profits to craft all my materials into more weapons and see how high I can jack up the price before people stop buying. So far I'm returning from a trip to Cardiff, so I'm hoping the approximate 500 crowns I payed in listing prices haven't gone to waste.

Ohey, didn't notice this thread. I started playing a couple days ago as Vertighost; add me if you want. I started out running around with one friend, then two friends, then 2 friends, Ochita and I made a party, and then I soloed some. Soloing is easiest and you get all the loot; what's the downside? Are rare drops even more rare or something?

Oh yeah, my names Still Ochita, if you want to add me, and I've just reached T2, and I don't mind doing T1.

Yeah, as Vert said, I usually solo, so I manage to have loads of spare materials, exept the useful ones, and I was also wondering about the rare drops thing.

Only down side to soloing I've found is that if you die, you HAVE to spend energy to revive yourself rather than having someone who might revive you

Unless you're with friends!

My in-game name is Evloret. I've tier 3 stuff thanks to the charity of my guild ( though all I'm short for upgrading one of my items to t4 is money, energy and the damn recepie).

I got midway through t2 on level 1 t2 stuff, then I was mobbed by office demons. Solo is still fun, but i'd do better if I had a good key to map strafe to...

As I understand it there's little downside to be in a party. Nearly all items picked up will be given to everyone in the party, except:
1. Crafting materials.
2. Items (those 4 slots at the top of the screen). These include healing items and thrown attack items.

Plus with more people you can carry away more minerals (4 lumps instead of 1). Yes, those are shared too!

Do minerals really matter?

I mean, yeah, you get a few crowns for depositing them. And they do affect what the next gates will be like, but it's rare that the minerals from 1, or even a few runs will net you much money or make any real affect on a gate.

I could see, maybe, there being some effect if you stockpiled them for weeks, and then threw them into a gate at the last minute before it opened. You might have a chance to affect the outcome, but unless you're willing to do that, I see them as pretty useless.

Could do fifty runs and not have an effect on the gate.

I did the math, if you make a solid cobalt armour, with making the base item aswell, you can make a profit of 7k selling it for 20k.

But, whats really cool about making 3star items etc. is that the chance of it becoming a unique is doubled.
