The best part of running 20+ streams all the time is that I finally get enough nitain to build all the weird masks

5 nitain for a mask for nezha, a frame I rarely play? sure whynot

I felt this way about a mask for Inaros, but then I saw that it needed 2000 cryotic :mad:

So I was doing a few relics last night for Forma, and I got a couple of Carrier Prime drops. I ended up with everything except the cerebrum, so I had a quick look on the wiki to see what it dropped from.

Turns out, it's vaulted, and I probably burned through ~10 vaulted relics without realizing it :smith:

So, since I've been out for a month, after linking my Twitch account I just need to pull up as many streams as my RAM allows and every time they get an achievement I get something? Something good?

Is Prisma Angstrum any good, or is it just a shiny, worse Kulstar?

It's better than the regular Angstrum but that's not saying much.

A fuckload of fireworks, nearly as many Latron blueprints (that you can sell for a suprisingly decent chunk of cash), occasional neurodes/nitain, random other poo poo - heard of everything from other blueprints to color palettes.

90% of what you get will be fireworks and Latron BPs, but you get some cool poo poo too. I have enough Nitain to build two primes and I got a free Wyrm from yesterday's haul alone.

Set the streams to 160p to help yourself out. Also look for streamers doing achievement runs, or new players.

Don't feel bad I burn vaulted relics every time i run void rifts cause I'm to lazy to check whats vaulted.

The best things you can get from the streams are a fully built Vectis Prime with a potato, smoke color palette, and Frost Harka skin.

the only issue with new players is if there view count is low you cant change their stream to 160p.

I'm assuming they don't have to be in the foreground or in focus and I just automagically get the rewards.

Also, yesterday I logged in and got a SECOND Frost Prime notification, as well as a Soma Prime notification. Cool?

They seem to be giving away a lot of stuff.

correct. I had about 10 going, and probably got around 100 mails over the course of 4 hours. Remember to check back on the streams every few hours because they will either have stopped streaming or hosting someone else. I'll be running a bunch while at work and I am a bit scared to see how many mails i come home to.

ah, I haven't run into that yet, but yeah that'd be a dealbreaker.

I'm trying to at least throw these streamers a follow to help their stats, because I feel bad that they are effectively playing to an empty room as we all minimize the poo poo out of their tabs.

Damnit. I saw someone just single-handedly annihilate a Terralyst with one a few days back and was wondering if it's stats were altered or something. :argh:

Devor: Nov 30, 2004; Lurking more.

Is there a more advanced "Here are the game systems / progression" summary? I'm returning from a while back and a lot of the new systems seem confusing. There are vault relics that someone mentioned, the incubator apparently does something, and now the plains. I did read through the OP but didn't see much beyond the newbie guide.

Yeah it's probably a 5 disposition Riven. My Gorgon Wraith is now Soma Prime with one and I'm assuming Prisma will be even better

Yeah. Okay/bad weapons with high disposition is basically my entire arsenal. Sometimes people ask me about my questionable loadout.

I got a decent riven for my Prisma Gorgon and it beats my Soma P, but only with the riven. Then again, not much does.

It's a prime example of a really fun gun that's good but not great, that a riven helps bring up to par.

Beating Soma Prime is way better than par though

It's pretty unnecessary and the grind for the resource to make random stat rolls will make you hate yourself.

You can spend 2 hours and end up with nothing.

You can, however, turn transmissions off which eliminates the annoying enemy voices

Rivens are special late-game mods that are randomly generated, limited to one weapon and given any number of stats. The weaker the weapon, the stronger the disposition, the wilder the riven. Example:

I can't believe he's still going. I'm gonna have to get some bits to throw at him.

i think that might have been me, if you mean that eidolon kill a few nights ago where i kind of haphazardly pulled in some people and managed to get a full kill with a brilliant eidolon shard

i dunno how much my gorgon was contributing but it's a pretty solid critical weapon. i have a suboptimal riven on it which mostly provides extra heat damage
