The Guildmasters

Hi All,
Yes, we can finally view exactly what the PS 4 looks like now that it is readily available for ordering, and if you get it now you can have it in time for Christmas, how cool is that. Keep on reading for pics and specs. Firstly, let’s have a look at what we’ve all been waiting for:

Even though Sony has done away with the curves, this latest machine looks very cool. It looks chunky, rugged, yet still elegant. It really looks like there is something big under the hood if you know what I mean.
Many have said they weren’t surprised at the price, but I think they all said that afterward. I was extremely surprised seeing as that was the price of the PS 3 when it first hit the shelves. I thought for sure this one was going to be much higher if not more, Therefore,  I am impressed with that.
So what exactly is the PS4 offering us that we don’t already have? Let see what we now know:

This is the official info as on the Amazon website:

PlayStation 4 redefines rich and immersive gameplay with powerful graphics and speed, intelligent personalization, deeply integrated social capabilities, and innovative second-screen features
“Suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button.

Background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press of the “share” button on the Dualshock 4 controller.

Broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways.
Games already announced for the PlayStation 4 include first-party titles Killzone: Shadow Fall, inFamous Second Son, Driveclub and Knack as well as partner titles Destiny, Diablo III, Deep Down and Watch Dogs.

I will post more news on the PS 4 as I get it. I also believe that most games will be made at 60 frames per second to give an even better gameplay. In the meantime, if you’re one of those who can’t wait to get your hands on one Amazon is taking orders right now!!!  Just click this link here to take you there, or you can also click on the picture below to take you right there too.

Well after soloing Big Red 3 a few times I thought I would try some more level 3 quests. Last night I did Home Of The Knave 3 solo and it was reasonably easy although I did have to switch gear during the fight.

Worked out quite well as I got my Longsword combo up and hit him with that, then while he was on his knees I switched over to Spear and Shield to finish him off. Only managed A rank but I often only get A rank when playing with multiplayer anyway as we rarely do the sidequest.

I think I might try the sidequest too, not sure exactly what it is, I think you have to talk to a NPC at some point and kill all magi for S rank.

Still can’t solo Ancient Dragon but hoping to accomplish that when I get the rest of my Knightlord armor.

I’m also not spending much as i’m after that elusive 10 million guilder trophy, only got 1.8 mill at the moment which is why I farm elementals a lot in KOD 3 and I can take out the fire dragon in the hope of a dragon skull+

At the moment my stats are constantly changing for each quest as I chop and change my gear but my Longsword stats for quests like big red are ATK 388 DEF 341 RES 174 STR 210 SPR 112 AGI 156 and DEX 113 This seems ok for big red but I can easily add more STR if needed or up my AGI

When i’m using my spear I switch gear. When running a quest solo if i’m going to use spear only this is my set up: Tsukuyomi + 9 Royal Shield +10 Shadow Sollerets +10 Knightlord Pants +10 Valiant Armor +10 and Warrior Fists +10 Yes I know the Valiant armor is GR 11 but you shouldn’t think because an armor or weapon is a lower GR you shouldn’t use it, the Valiant armor gives me an added 35 VIT DEF 77 and an extra 128 HP

This set up gives me the following stats : ATK 290 DEF 605 STR 149 VIT 243 AGI 112 and DEX 113. If I start to get hit more than I want to then i’ll switch to the Warlords Cuirass giving me an added 44 AGI for a total of 156 AGI this does take away some from DEF but not enough to worry about and it means I get hit a lot less, hardly at all by mobs, if ever.

Well I hope some of this makes sense to you, i’m still experimenting with gear and i’m also trying to get more spears and swords to add elements to, soon I shall be a force to be reckoned with, at least to Kibbles and Vespids anyway, LOL.

Continuing on from the last post here are the starting stats for GR 9 armor.

1. Aeros Set

Aeros Kirtle (armor) starts at DEF 38 RES 10 and an added attribute of Wind +3 Aeros Braccae (leg gear) Starts at DEF 33 RES 10 with a wind attribute of +3 Aeros Shoes (foot gear) starts at DEF 33 RES 10 and wind attribute of +3 You may have noticed I haven’t put in Aeros arm gear as I don’t have that at my binding shop, not sure why but if it is available the stats will be the same as the others presumably. As you can see at GR 9 your starting to see better starting stats with the introduction of RES (resistance)

2. Queens Set

Some sets of armor can only be worn by female avatars and some only by male avatars, which is pretty cool. Anyway the Queens set is for female characters and are as follows:

Queens Mail (armor) starting stats at DEF 46 and Earth attribute of +3 Queens Guards (arm gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute of +3 Queens Skirt (leg gear) DEF 39 and Earth attribute of +3 and finally Queens Boots (foot gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute of +3 You need a Lv of 47 to be able to wear this set.

3. Spectral Set

Spectral Mail (armor) DEF 46 with a Earth attribute of +3 Spectral Guards (arm gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute +3 Spectral Culottes (leg gear) DEF 39 and Earth attribute +3 and lastly Spectral Boots (foot gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute +3 Personally I wouldn’t recommend this set for GR 9 as there are a couple of better sets with much better starting stats as you will see next.

4. Heavy Set

Heavy Armor (armor) DEF 52 with Earth attribute of +2 Heavy Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 44 with Earth attribute of +3 Heavy Cuisses (leg gear) DEF 44 with Earth attribute of +2 and Heavy Sabatons (foot gear) DEF 44 with Earth attribute of +3 As it says, this is a heavy set of armor that although seems quite popular with GR 9 players it’s not the set I recommend. I did wear this set for a while but didn’t enhance it much as I wanted the next set and that is the set I recommend for GR 9 players, assuming your a longsword user and like heavy armor.

5. Animus Set

Animus Armor (armor) DEF 54 with added attribute of fire +3 Animus Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 45 with wind attribute +3 Animus Breeches (leg gear) DEF 45 and water attribute added of +3 and finally Animus Sollerets (foot gear) DEF 45 with Earth attribute added of +3

The reason I recommend this last set of GR 9 armor is not just because it has the best starting DEF stats, more because each piece gives you added protection against the four elements which helps a lot, most of the monsters, creatures or bosses you will fight will have one element on their side with the exception of certain monsters (like Pyredaemos Rex) who will be immune to elemental attacks, those are the few where you just use brute force (physical) attacks.

That’s all the GR 9 gear and tomorrow I will publish GR 10 armor sets. I’ll be writing them in seperate posts so I don’t get one huge post, it’s better to break it up and also it can be easier for people to ask questions under their specific GR.

Yes after achieving my GR12 sword, the Witchblade, I decided to try and check out some of the GR 15 armor. Now if your liking this game as much as me and your on your way to GR 15 here is some major advice. Save as much money (guilder) as you can, i’m not talking about a few thousand, I mean a few million if not more.

Yes the ultimate armor sets are extremely expensive, a good example is the set i’m going for, it’s called the Warlord armor, four seperate pieces and just the chest piece and the pants piece costs around 2 million guilder, then you have to upgrade them, but it is worth it. There are some really cool stats on fully upgraded GR 15 armor sets.

I have had many requests for friends and many mails asking for help so people are still coming into WKC which is great. I’ll be writing a post for the newcomer to WKC as it can be a bit wierd at first, I remember being at GR 1 and felt like I could not run any quests and felt intimidated by even GR 3 or 4 players but everyone is great and will help you out and it really does make for a great game.

I recommend getting involved in this game, i’m probably a little too involved, I love the game but it’s going to make for an even greater game when WKC 2 comes out. My prediction is going to be a release date for christmas, that is only my personal opinion but even if it is next year you still have to time to platinum this game, it’s hard but very possible, just takes a huge amount of time.
