hi so if you clicked on this video with the intent of learning I highly recommend looking at this playlist: • the good stuff
These are the videos I think are more worth watching than this one in my opinion
Hi so yeah but like anyways I think that if I might just be able to then I could consider the fact that there are at least like closer to about a few I don't know where this sentence is going but like whatever
HEY ALSO IF YOU HAVE TIPS FOR PEOPLE LEAVE THEM BELOW AND ALSO LIKE THE ONES YOU LIKE SO THEY GET MOVED TO THE TOP
I've been considering opening a patreon just because like making videos takes ages and is time consuming and I'm going to be busier in the following months but also like I don't feel like my content is good enough for that (or at least yet) but I dunno. What should I do? How did I end up on the timeline where I am a realm youtuber?

pro tip: learn how to nexus always nexus over getting loot, you can always do another dungeon

[@JameTime]

OOOOO YES

[@isakbeaver]

No nexus gang my guy

[@WoodRotMG]

go big or go home

[@Lordementor96]

but what if its a cdirk?

[@Krenny]

also: now that you can put any consumable you want into the quick slots, farming healing ichor has become very popular. One of the easiest ways to find spider dens for this is to follow the rivers from the beaches inland. Enemies will get progressively harder along the river edge and finding a spider den shouldn't be too hard that way. Helped me a ton to farm them for tense situations. I usually carry 6 heal pots/6 ichors on all my chars now.

[@skoomakity8769]

With greater hp pots in shatters now, if you find one in realm you can try and grind for the fabled HP pot ichor ghp pot combo

[@emilior934]

This is my experience. Learn the game with priest, the heals will help you stay alive longer. Then go with necro. Then go with trickster. And finally to learn melee, go with paladin. One of the best trainings I have is to use a wizard on godlands and see how long can you last without getting hit once while you are killing gods. This will help you with spatial awareness. Try to strife left and right and only back out when you feel danger.

[@shamalamadingleberry7203]

^ This. In almost all situations, pushing left/right or forward/right and forward/left (think quarter rotations around the target) is almost always the dodge to go for, unless you're doing certain bosses. Once you get really good at not taking a hit in god lands, start trying to intentionally pick the hardest "dodge" to make and go for it. This will teach you things about how tightly you can squeeze through bullets and with what speed.

[@brim510]

This..I started with pally and died a lot went back to priest and learned then moved to sorcerer for vitality similar to heal

[@hiveee1236]

the priest part is 100% true. I have played for hours and ive always died before maxing even one stat. Then I tried priest and after few hours maxed dex. so I think new players should start with priest

[@mejkranium6982]

as someone who has played this game for 9+ years i can say i love all of these tips. Very useful things to know/work on for new players but always remember: Play the game how you think works best for you. Personally I have no issues with the default camera rotation speed and always find it fast enough but that could easily be due to how I rotate compared to others. People learn differently and come up with techniques that they find work better for them so if you're not doing something in this video it's all good! You don't need to change something that works.

[@mejkranium6982]

If you were wondering, yes I do find it fast enough for outer rotations too. I more or less rotate with offset so that I can utilize the further view distance as much as possible but I played my first 5 or so years without screen rotation or offset and still found benefits from using that as well. For outer rotations it'd be like, start with offset and rotated towards him so I can see how close he is to me earlier, and then rotate with him like normal. I imagine the room as a complete circle when I'm doing this and try to follow that circle as closely as possible without using A or D but I keep in mind the phases and what I could possibly run into while doing that, so I might play with no offset and using rotation or I might go without rotation or offset and quickly reset my camera angle so that I remember where I'm at in the room and can plan out what I'm doing next from that position but it all depends on what's going on in the fight and if I'd prefer or not prefer rotation/offset for that part. Hope you guys appreciate my input here :> Theres no negativity intended with this comment so please keep things nice, if a new player comes across this I just want them to know that it's not wrong to be unconventional but try to utilize whatever benefits you can because these are things that definitely give you that advantage that most other players have. Offset is quite literally extra view distance that you can't get unless you offset. It's worth it to try to find and learn to use these advantages, more than just offset too (ahem, hp and mp pots, pls don't forget the mp pots if you have them just because they're not hp)

[@jmantehguy]

I would add to try different zoom options for bosses you’re struggling on. I couldn’t get past Dammah until I zoomed my screen in. Even 1 or 2 levels of zoom in can help you see what’s going on better without sacrificing much valuable information in most cases. Edit: Same goes for camera offset. For the nest boss I sometimes center my camera and then circle the room without rotating my screen. Basically try new things and see what works best for you.

[@aionic1]

@@adriannstg3421 I tinkered with OBS settings to tune it down, and it still tends to use a bit more resources than game bar. As for shadowplay, I don't have a Nvidia gpu, and my AMD GPU isn't elegible for AMD ReLive. I think those two would use less resources than game bar, but keeping OBS running has siphoned a lot of my resources compared to game bar.

banger quote!

[@rice2cu5881]

The information in the video is invaluable. If I were to give my 2 cents on how to get better, the #1 thing I'd say to do is start soloing dungeons more. You can only ever fuck up a dungeon so many times before you eventually complete and master it. Don't be afraid to nexus but keep a mental note of what screwed you over and keep trying not to get fucked over again by the same thing. By your 50th solo you should be able to do it with one hand while half asleep. I learned how to do fungal phase by phase this way and after hundreds of fungal solos I have still not gotten a single shroom spell, fuck u deca.

[@JameTime]

bro that is so unlucky (the fungal spell)

[@donnadie5219]

3:07 uhm yes i cant 8/8 a character so ill make an 8/8 character to help max the other characters Only thing i consider a bad tip, but great video

[@Gelo_Tin]

use a 0/8 to farm pots for another character then use that character for farming more is probably what he meant

[@JameTime]

I mean like, work your way towards an 8/8 but once you get one just don't do like reckless things with that one and farm pits with that one. If you don't have an 8/8 that's also fine but I see a lot of people just sort of always complain about getting an 8/8 and dying with it and it just kind of seems reckless. It's an investment for the future

[@Joeyratatouille]

Just 6/8. If you can't complete dungeons to get life yet just 6/8 and it's easy enough and against all basic dungeons 6/8 is more than enough.

[@Zombarakh]

Use space for nexus Use 1 slot around your wasd for an hp pot Visualize straight line around circumference of a shotgun to quick dodge Use hp pot/ichor/holy water for quick slot Every time u get hit into incombat mode, you lose the max hp given from pet Oreo, sandstone, battle god, and conundra seals are better than gcookie cuz the last makes you lose pet instant hp burst. Amplitude, wavy, and projectile speed determine how easy it is to aim a weapon. The amount of split shots determine how often you need to focus on switching aim. If you have a weapon with shit true range like pixie, circle some enemies to dodge shots and get high dps Switch to servers that pop, they are the most occupied ones typically. Try to wait to get into full servers. Buy or wait to get as many vaults as possible, when you got a lot pick up all medium level-high level dungeon marks. Chests give xp, use a character with less than 15k base fame to open chest *with a clover*. Sometimes true range matters more than a little more dps Study sts and uts on realm wiki and determine what's the best ones. Have a chart for every stat so you got max efficiency My chart; vit : 1/135 power as a fraction dexterity : 1/65 power as a fraction. 1/100 if you got 10 more dex than att attack: 1/65 power as a fraction. 1/100 if you got 10 more att than dex speed: 1/96 power as a fraction defense: 1/104 power as a fraction. hp : 1(5hp)/210 power as a fraction. wis: who cares? mana: who cares?

[@JameTime]

sheeeeesh! That's a lot of good info! I personally like having my quick slots bound to my mouse (like side buttons) so that I don't have to remove focus from movement keys with my left hand. Still awesome stuff!

One burning question I have, is rotating the camera truly a necessity in this game? I usually like to keep a static camera, no rotation at all, but I figure that i kinda have to rotate my camera in this game since about 90% of players i've watched do it, should i get into the habit of doing so as well? Not sure if it'd help me tremendously in the long run but it might so i'm not sure, I figured rotating the camera was more of a preference thing but apparently it provides benefits.

[@JameTime]

Rotating has never been required outside of something they recently added, but rotating your camera (and off-setting your camera) can literally let you see like 30% more in front of you, which means you basically just get to see things way further away I remember someone who never screen rotated saying, while watching someone else's screen, "wait you guys can actually see that far??" Because they didn't know that you actually could just see way further But the thing they recently added that you basically need to screen rotate for is in the new hard mode shatters during second boss, there is a phase that requires unusual angles and if you don't screen rotate you basically need to hyper tap your movement keys instead of holding them down, which is both very technically demanding and not practical

[@dann3bro412]

@@JameTime I see, thank you very much

[@dexorne9753]
