I personally don't see the lack of picks any time in the future as we still have Apocryphal.
Pillars does still need a pick. At our current power level those have become somewhat rare. Unless we start a fight with the shard we'll be going to the HS after this and picks will become even rarer. This fight may very well be the last pick point we get for a while.
I don't think it's super realistic that the apocryphal curse will leave Hunger alone for a entire month, no.
The apocryphal targets us in the worst way possible. Relying on it for picks may very well cause it to attack us using other avenues. Also some of its procs target us in the future like Ber. It's not impossible that it could put all its power into the ring war or causing us complications in leaving the VR. Of course it could also send in something capable of actually killing us like lucent thorne. So we'd either have to fight an incredibly dangerous enemy or run away. Too many things can go wrong with apoc and we should by no means rely on it for anything.
Hm, if we'd saved that seven Arete we could be within striking distance of A Chosen Purpose. As things stand, that's a lot of solid stone for the men of the Miners' Guild to tunnel through. The light at the end is gloriously incandescent, Aobaru as an allied peer level combatant who can hand out fractional ISH steps like candy on Halloween would be worth his weight in orichalcum. But the resources just aren't there, so I can't in good conscience vote for it. A Burning Spirit is a serviceable substitute, cultivating his drive and competence while indirectly improving Hunger by buffing the buffs. It gives us a tenth of an ISH step and hopefully more mentoring moments and creative uses of magic, which are always fun to read. Rank is Hunger and Letrizia's thing, and setting Aobaru's to six could go to waste if we pick up Companions of the King or a near-equivalent down the road; the literal firepower option has its appeal, but seems unnecessary given recent scaling.After accounting for your latest expenditures (Undying Vanguard and Glimpse), you're at 10.95 Arete!
if we had the arete... would you change your mind?But the resources just aren't there, so I can't in good conscience vote for it
I don't think he does. In that vote, we didn't pick the Shard, we picked Adorie. The next update, we met a Royalist agent who told us how to get to Adorie. I'd assume that therefore, Hunger does not in fact know where the Shard is, because we did not pick the option that would have given us the directions to the Shard in the next update.
It depends, the effective Apocryphal mitigation sounds like it blows Grand Nullification's ten percent out of the water. On the other hand, a martial or social victory against Augustine is bound to yield interesting picks given her heritage, and we have Fisher King to finish. I'm kind of relishing not having to choose in truth yet!
What? I'm confused. How would you say Mr. 3 EFBs in a few days IC and another EFB in less than a day later as a cherry on top is slowing down in any shape or form? We've completely outpaced the LP in power by a magnitude, the only real difficulty here is protection for our allies.25 Arete is what, Refinement of Battle?
Everyone wanted King Fisher too, so there's that.
Aobaru is cool and all, but amg. Hunger been slowing down faster than expected.
No that's imprisoner.
let me rephrase:
Well that settles that part of the vote!After accounting for your latest expenditures (Undying Vanguard and Glimpse), you're at 10.95 Arete!

Soul evocation is the seven seals magic system.
[ ] Seven Seals - The magic of the world was evocation of the self, the light of the soul made manifest.
Imagine not being able to Cut Through a prison made by someone weaker than you.Resorting to War if negotiations break down would be almost impossible.
Weakening every Apocryphal proc is considerably more potent than having to take slightly fewer procs overall, actually! As a level 20, would you rather fight a steady stream of level 15 NPCs, or a slightly less steady stream of level 17s?
