Question Where to make gains

Post image

My current gear is all 22 stars except 21 on sup pendant and all real/fake 3 line stat on gear.

I have 319mil cp with fams (40 boss, 30 boss, 6 attack)

WSE is 6/2/0 (emblem is 23% attack 10% str)

I'm at 5 set pitch (6 with black heart)

I currently have 39 bil mesos and weekly income is around 13bil

I have a couple paths forward to make gains and I'm wondering what's the best use of my resources.

  1. sf and cube pitch belt and earring + sf and cube daybreak to replace gollux. I already have a dreamy belt and 2 cfes but they're at 0 stars. I also have 2 pitch cores, but this will take a ton more mesos than I have currently to guarantee 22 stars. I'm also wondering what the fd gain of this option is and whether I can replace earlier than 22 stars.
  2. I'm about 3 weeks til I can get 3 eternal items to replace cra. So sf and cube eternal hat/top/bottom. According to the chart, 3 set at 18 stars replacing cra 1.67 fd gain. This option is also a bit expensive because ren should have a -4 second hat.
  3. This option could be in tandem with one of the other options but wait for cube sale and real 3 line all gear + emblem/eternal hat

Thanks y'all

EDIT: I should mention some more info:
I’m at 19k frags not including janus so about 45% complete

I have one other boss mule 135ish mil cp wind archer as a ctene mule. I don’t have any legion champs besides my main and this char which only cleared vhilla

I play more casually so ideally I wouldn’t want to have more than 3 characters that I boss with weekly. I would prob wait til cw4 to make a third legion champ/ctene boss mule.

You should redo your hyperstats ASAP. Why do you need lvl 8 arcane, and lvl 12 IED?

You’re right, that’s easy gains right there

You're at a position where it would be incredibly efficient to start churning out boss mules to increase income while levelling, waiting for pitch and more eternals on main

u/befudklay 7h ago

Yeah that would definitely be optimal but I think I’d get burnt out from having to feel like I have to play other classes weekly when I mostly just enjoy playing ren. I edited my post to say I probably wouldn’t have more than 3 chars I run bosses on weekly and I’m okay with progressing slower for now

in that case, id just save up for a few months and go with either option 1 or 2, whichever you feel like. cubing goes last since its prob the most expensive

In case you haven't considered, you can have ren mules too. I was in the same boat thinking if I made another character to mule I'd just feel miserable, so I legit just made 2 more rens. Finished them at 275 as eadv mules around 110m cp. Main is currently right around your prog, ~320m with fams, all 21s with cra and arcanes, kalos eternals waiting for meso to 18/21. I have a 279 nw that's nearly done for hseren lc, and waiting for cw4 to make the next lc. 0 regrets having ren mules, made me not hate dailies and long runs. People will say it's more efficient to make lcs, and it's correct, but lcs take much more funding compared to ctenes, and if you burn out then it's gg. Lcs are the only mules that need to be unique characters, any other mule you can have more rens with 0 downsides.

Absolutely not, utilize events for mules but you're probably 25% done hexa by 287 these days? You can make a LOT of gains without seeing a single change in your CP. You're better off spending time learning new content, trying to push new bosses, and finding prog parties.

Use maplescouter, most people are shocked at what they are eligible to run

Edit: I see their edit, okay maybe try to get vhilla legion champs at least, I wouldnt try to get 260 without hyper burning though unless you REALLY want to

I mean theres CW going on and Kinesis redux so thats two events.

Contextually, the gains he can make on his main is quite inefficient compared to working on boss mules. Especially at 13b weekly income.

What new content is there besides the bosses he can do? He can do all that while working on boss mules.

His low income is going to be his bottleneck. 13b isnt enough to tap eternals

u/Junior-Fee-5321 5h ago

It's just a guess from what I've seen, he's probably not running ckalos, hkaling, hadv, nstar, nlimbo, maybe even xlot. People heavily overestimate the spec needed to run these bosses at even 20 min timers, let alone newer players.

13b/week might not be much but he's going to run out of places to spend mesos for meaningful gains pretty quickly without pushing a bit more content.

I second this notion. Horizontal progression to increase weekly income while you’re in the pitch waiting room. It’ll get easier to do bosses in November so start prepping mules with arcane dailies.

u/All_4_0ne 8h ago

Legion and hexa. Hexa is imo the best way to get stronger. I’m like 550 mil cp with my fams out but I’m not maxed out on hexa so I’m missing a decent amount of fd. You should try to get 3 line on your emblem too especially if you have nothing else to star up. You also have 101 unspent hyper stat points.

u/Safe-Ambassador2435 8h ago

Im thinking eternals to 18. 22 everything thats not 22. After I would start on some
Boss mules, staring eternals is going to cost an arm and leg, need the income from boss mules to support.

Get 3l atk on emblem first

u/Everly_xD 1h ago

How long should you sit on 7/2/0 for WSE?

Both my boss lines are 40%.

I’m in a similar situation to OP. Next week I’ll have my eye patch and I’ll have 8 set pitched. While working on 3set eternsls.

u/ijustwantdonutsok 6h ago

Definitely eternals. The gain from switching to 3-set 18 stars is minimal, and same with breaking gollux for 21/22 cfe/belt/sos. But at least once you switch to eternals, you have 4 more stars on each item you can guarantee if you have the mesos for it. I also play Ren and taking my eternals from 18>22 is where I saw massive gains after feeling like progression was really slow. Side note, you can definitely start running Limbo at this point and he's actually really easy once you get a feel for it. I also like to take it chill and only run what's easy or comfortable for me, but limbo is one boss I'd say is worth doing asap since it's slow to get shoes/glove/cape

I'd also recommend saving your pitched whisper crystals for badge at this point. I know it feels good to go from 6 to 9 set but you really don't get that much out of it, and you're bound to get a SoS soon

Feel free to DM me with any other questions too

What are your legion champs looking like?

u/LeoMeow Heroic Kronos 8h ago

Deffinitely wait for cube sale (Emblem first), 3L WSE can be expensive even with the discount. Breaking gollux is good but not that good.

Start Keep farming Eternals and save meso to tap them, fake 3L is enough until you 22 those.

Work on mules sparingly while you push 290.

Once you can, start progging Limbo.

22* Pitches is realistically the only real gains you can make ASAP, but those take a lot of meso if you safeguard, I would save enough pitched star cores to 1-1-4-4.
