Let's face it, it's not just battle pass - this entire expansion is dumpster fire
I won't talk about battle pass in this post, as everything has been said about it already. I want to bring closer attention to other areas that are basically just as bad.
Bugs. I haven't seen Hearthstone be this buggy in a while. Frequent crashes/glitches that require restarting the game. You can't even scroll through friendlist without some visual issues. I used to enjoy spectating games, but nowadays it's borderline impossible due to bugs. And of course, all the old problems are still there, unfixed for years.
Duels. It's actually unreal how bad they are. Zero balance, bad for new players, bad for veteran players (MMR system that will force 50% winrate on you eventually) and on top of this - super P2W. This guy requires you to have 20 UNIQUE Scholomance epics and makes Warlock insanely strong in general. Not having this card is like playing MOBA without ultimate ability.
Achievements. You basically randomly get some pop up, you have no idea what you even did to get them and then you gotta find them in the journal and CLICK (WTF?) them in order to get the rewards (usually - worthless achievement points). It's insane how unrewarding and unsatisfying this system is.
Tavern Pass. You pay 20 EUR for basically 1-2 pictures (only Annhylde and maybe one of Jaina skins are good, other ones are extremely low effort filler) and a pitifully small increase in exp.
Mini-expansions. Don't forget there will be mini-expansion coming up to ravage your wallets. Honestly, considering past developments, I am pretty sure they will soon decide to realease not only mini-expansion but also paid Adventure (like Galakrond's Awakening) in each expansion cycle ("keeping the game fresh" in their language) to squeeze out the last bit of money from players who didn't quit yet.
Cards. May be more subjective here, but this has been the first expansion I didn't even care to open packs (bought by gold) on release day. The cards just don't seem very interesting for the most part (except maybe new Yogg). For some reason they try to reintroduce Big Priest into standard and wild, which I find baffling.
I played HS for a while (since Mean Streets), but honestly it's time to quit. I don't even want to play to legend with 11 star bonus anymore. Remember guys, AC Valhalla is already out and Cyberpunk is coming up very soon, it's a great time to stop gambling addiction once and for all. When it comes to online games, I replaced HS with Quake Champions - although it's entirely different genre, it has accessible F2P model, rewarding battle pass and is almost entirely skill based (a welcome change after the RNG clown fiesta in HS).
I wrote a long series of guides over a year ago when I was rather new to the game and explaining the basics of my findings, such as how to juice maps or utilize prophecies, how and what to sell and so on and so fourth. Now, I'll skip a bit of the whole juicing part which I believe is increasingly well-known and is just part of what you can do to improve your hourly currency making. Anyway, here is proof: https://i.imgur.com/pK6z5z1.png
The first thing I will put as your primary resource of making currency is something almost nobody ever do. You are not a streamer who magically make currency without continually having to go to your stash to make sales. So, what you must always do is have everything priced as much as possible. I was competing to have all uniques for a while for example and told this trick to #1 completionist on the ladder. I said, you just price your whole unique tab 1 exalt. Then make exception and reprice whatever is in it that is clearly worth more. What that does achieve is simple. Anything that is priced can sell, anything that is not won't sell. Doing this, it can and did happen for me that I sold absurdly cheap items like wanderlust for 1 exalt because someone asked. Many other items will sell for 1 exalt as long as it is priced. A lot of them you are not aware they can be worth one exalt, but if they sell, they sell. Beyond just fluke instances of sales that make no sense, it will help you understand why things are worth what they do. If you sell a Blood of the Karui flask once because it is perfect roll for 1 ex. You take note and try to sell the next one for this amount. If it continually sell for that much, you figure that maybe it is worth that much.
Produce items that people want and find routines that reward you over an exalt quickly. I've argued a lot over the last year with pathofmatts over our differences of views of how to build currency. There is no magic trick, but to me you have to be doing something that not everyone else is doing. For example, if Matt tell you hey maybe farming beasts is not bad. Then someone else say the same thing. I'll tell you what is actually better. Buying beasts is better obviously. The one thing this league that would potentially generate the most possible currency per hour is farming Saqawine Rhex boss. Of course, if you generate too many at once, maybe you flood the market. But yes, it is possible once all sell to make 30-40-50 exalts per hour farming this boss. We done it me and a friend. Keep in mind the reason why it is better than all other bosses is that all items except the helm can be worth a lot. The boots can and do sell for 8 exalts. Maybe more. The key is knowing that there is a build that works with the set. I guess even the helm can fetch 1 ex with proper good roll, but for certain the gloves and the boots fetch a tremendous amount with proper negative rolls. On top of this, I've learned overtime that uniques are big big money once you figure a few markets to provide for. One of the most stupid thing is to put a blessing on an eye of chayula. This is big profit, just doing this one simple step. What is even bigger profit is providing the very popular Surrender shield. There is such a stupid margin of profit to putting a blessing on a Anticipation shield that it can be embarassing. I made 3.5 exalts profit recently just doing this... and the upside is even a shit roll will tend to be profit. Keep in mind, this only work if few do it. If a ton of people is out there trying to fetch all the anticipation shields for that sweet profit, then obviously there will be a shortage of cheap shield to buy. Another that was quite amazing is fated unique. I sold hundreds of Wildwrap 6L by continually buying large amount of Briskwrap 6L and the prophecy to upgrade it. Doing this as part of your routine running Strand map is just adding 1 exalt profit per map ran. A lot of other fated uniques (6L especially) do work. I'd also mention Iron Heart 6L upgraded to Iron Fortress 6L. The cost of entry was much greater there since the base would cost you 3-4 exalts, but the outcome would basically always sell for 5.5 exalts on the worst roll, up to 10 exalts for good rolls. Didn't roll perfect +strg, but close to it sold for 10. For a profit there of 6 exalts. The key here for all those is even bad outcomes on surrender or iron fortress still yield you profit. While good rolls yield you significant profit worth more than most boss drops. Understanding this, you also sort of need to find your niche, some items you know how to make that are in demand. Even if not super high demand, you know they do sell and get you profit. It also works for vendor recipe uniques. Learn them, know them, do them. Duskdawn staff is a vendor recipe unique. I often made it for under 50c, sold it often for 2 exalts. Basically all uniques that just cannot drop naturally in a map is worth something, even if it is as simple as putting a scroll on a harbinger belt (very profitable thing to do for a while), a blessing on a breach item, fating with a prophecy, creating it with a vendor recipe, all those items tend to yield you good to excellent profit. You just need to find a few that work for you. That tend to work all the time, the popular ones just change around. For example, in the past I'd run Unbreathing Queen 5 quite a bit because I liked the map and the gloves sold for quite a bit. This league they did not, so I didn't bother running it. So popular items may change, but there are always some items gated behind something you have to do to generate them that are profitable.
Now this is a bit tricky to explain fully, but always work too. Whenever I see people opening stacked decks and seeing only the value as in the value of the individual cards. I feel they are missing a key point with div cards. The truth with div cards is that for so many of them, the outcome of a set is a big margin of profit on the individual cards. So if you sit down and spam away to buy all the div cards you can on the market, you're making a lot of currency per hour doing this super boring thing. I can tell you the fun ones, such as The Hive of Knowledge. For those, I never made a lost, some outcome sold for 20 exalts, some for 12 exalts. While others did around just 1 exalt profit on the set given the two implicits were not super useful. But there again, you can't really lose. You can only win big or win little. The one I always suggest to new players who have limited resources is to just check for cheap "The Escape" div cards and buy them. This is simply, depending what time we are in the league, a guaranteed one exalt profit on cost of cards. Can be a bit more, but any new players who have limited resources that learn he can make 1 exalt profit by buying 5 cards tend to enjoy this prospect if his current routine hardly yield him 1 exalt an hour. So, I won't mention the dozens of div cards that are profitable, but you will find out most that can work do work. Just don't do stupid shit like trying to profit by buying underpriced div cards that yield you raw exalts. Too many people try to do this and the profit is significantly worst than getting cards that give you items.
Selling maps have hardly ever been more profitable than during Heist league. Yes, this goes contrary to what poor redditors tell you, but it is huge money. The key of course is that you do juice your map... so that it drops a whole lot of maps. The reason why it was so significant this league is the value of one exalt, because for me no matter how cheap an exalt can be, I still count my profit in exalt per hour or per session. If I make 10-20 exalts per day selling maps, this is not the only profit I make... it is just a significant one. Don't ignore it, price your maps. They do gain value as time go on too. Bulk sales are obviously better than selling single maps. Overprice them so people only ask to pay premium for larger amount.
In relation to currency-making, don't believe the hype that early league is great for you. It is not. You cannot make currency early league unless you are a top tier player who can quickly upgrade your gear to do endgame content others can't do. For example, I know someone who was able to gear up and start farming Uber Atziri by day 2 of league. The result of course is that he had a mirror in his stash by day 3. But you can't do that and neither can I. Those are the things that make early league very profitable for some players, but for most early league is just a time where your income struggle to keep up with your expenses to make your upgrades. Even the big myth about maps being big money early league is pure garbage. Yes, you can sell a t5 Plaza map for 5c or whatever. But that's the thing, you are selling single t5 Plaza maps for 5c. Later on, surely those won't sell for 5c each, but you also won't sell them individually. This league selling any map was good money, because beast farmers were voracious for low tier maps. So if you didn't mind spending the time to put 300 white maps in the trade window for 300 chaos, that is something you continually could do just buying white maps from Zana for chance orbs. Of course, this is nickle and dime currency gain, but you can also see it this way that when Zana offer you 10 white maps for chance orbs, this is essentially an extra 10 chaos once sold. As said before, making currency is selling things. You can skip everything and focus only on the big stuff, but it is fine to sell 300 white maps for 300 chaos and that was easy to do this league. This is just to say also why early league maps are not worth more, because you just spend way too much time selling single maps. If you stop your farming to sell 300 maps for 300c, this is better than stopping to farm to sell 1 map for 5c. Keep in mind, if exalts are 50-60c at the time, 300c is a lot of exalts. Regardless, as far as you are concerned, early league is bad for making currency.
Another controversial opinion I have is this... that goes contrary to what almost everyone do say. Now this may change once Harvest go core, but picking up rares is actually very good once you have wrapped your head around what items people want. This is mostly true once you hit t16 maps and almost all mods can drop, especially very desirable ones like t1 res. The way I see things is very opposite what people suggest. Picking rares is hard to do, because most struggle to price. For me, it is simple because I have multiple quad tabs. So as you can see from the top screenshot, all the basically good rares I drop in a map is dumped in a 1 exalt quad tab. A lot of it will sell, you'd be surprised. Whatever don't sell eventually get rotated and the full tab eventually get repriced downward slowly. Your main expenses while selling rares that you pick off the floor is adding a useful bench craft. This can be a decent investment if you add a dual resist... not as much for life. You need to make sure if you spend to put dual resists on it that it should sell for something, otherwise your just down the bench craft. Now I do craft too, on some bases I know sell well. I can give you the obvious suggestions like stygian vises or crystal belts, but I won't go into the full process. But basically, I hardly will drop a crystal belt that I do not end up selling. There is more specialized crafting with way higher profit. Things that tend to involve big upfront investment such as using beast crafts, awakener orb, conqueror exalts and so on and so fourth. I think that, yes, this can be very profitable. I just feel you tend to continually over-invest toward a backlog of unsold items. You just need to find a few niches that work for you. As I told many people, I work with volumes. I tend to do better making 10 stygian vise I can sell for 2-3 exalts than one I can sell for 20. I am aware how to make it. For example, I met someone who's main craft was getting a stygian the hunter influence and rolling it for the obviously desirable combo of flat life and %life. I tried it and it is so much more investment and time than what I do, which is basic bitch craft like spending 4 prismatic catalysts on a stygian and then rolling it with an essence that guarantee one strong res... till it roll 2-3 good res with good prefixes. Again, this doesn't mean I'm rolling till I have 5 good affixes with one bench craft. A solid 3 mods with a bench craft will sell fine too. I won't roll over a belt I can sell for 2 exalts in the hope to roll a belt I can sell for 4. This is a problem if you roll a stygian with hunter influence. You cannot just stop at something decent, because your initial investment is significant. Anyway, we did mention above you need to find uniques for which there is a demand that you can generate easily. The same is true for rares. Picking them up is good, re-rolling them is good too. Just always keep in mind what your investment is versus what you can sell it for. Yes, of course, you can go for the always good awakener orb tailwind/elusive boots or +2 amulets. Many do this, that is fine. It's just not my market.
Exalts is "dead money". Now many people continually refer to anyone who don't hoard "dead money" as a flipper. But this is a bit short-sighted. For example, this league I made a topic early on https://www.reddit.com/pathofexile/comments/j6zpx2/bad_gamble_in_a_picture/ where I said I made a bad gamble eventually spending upward of 2 mirrors buying up all replica shroud. Now check the comments there to see the great wisdom of reddit. Everyone told me I was a fool. So right, I was buying out all replica shroud for 4 to 9 exalts for a while. I was doing this instead of taking my exalts and converting them to mirrors. You can do this for a lot of stuff, especially if it is new. Items tend to gain value overtime during a league, unless they are common ones that everyone do drop. Now everyone in retrospect call this a flip, but maybe I could have lost if my bet was wrong. But generally speaking, if you invest your money toward things that gain value, you are making a lot more than if you just hold on to exalts in your tab. Another example, the person who competed with me for unique completion managed to purchase a replica baited breath early league for just 10 exalts. You just sort of start your league thinking up what you plan to invest in once you have extra to spare. It's not that complicated, it tend to be new things related to the league. My biggest regret this league for example is not massively investing in those new orbs. It should have been obvious those min/maxing orbs would be cheap early league and I did use two of them to upgrade my armor... and gain a lot of value as people become richer and want that last min/max on their weapon or armor. Basically, once you get all the new info on whatever is new in the league, decide what you want to put your money in. Then hold and believe you can sell it later for profit.
Leveling gems is big money. We already did mention maps was big, but this is often forgotten or done completely wrong. For example, leveling enlighten is generally quite bad. Leveling awakened gems too. It's not terrible if you gain a square ton of gem exp, but for this league anyway leveling alt gems was truly king. All of them did sell, didn't matter what they were. Overtime, even the trash ones you got for 2c at level 1 would sell for 1 exalt at level 20. They'd even sell in bulk to people who were chasing their challenges. This league, given the alt gems, was king for passively making profit having 9 gems in your bow and maloney on switch.
For actual flipping, which I do of course. I suggest not overwhelming yourself with too many markets to track. Mirror flipping can be nice if you can reach it, but as I said in my popular "mirror flipping mafia" topic... it is a tightly manipulated market. It's possible to make stupid profit flipping mirrors, but keep in mind while mirror is fluctuating rapidly, it is possible to lose. That is you sell your mirror to exalts and you cannot buy one back before the price fluctuate. I did this early on when mirror was around 120 exalts. Converted it to exalts, then by the time I managed to buy it back I was down 10 exalts. Quite significant early on when most of your currency is contained within this one mirror to make a 10 exalts lost on a flip at the wrong time. But of course, flipping currency for most people is flipping exalts to chromes back to exalts... or chaos to chromes back to exalts, etc. You can make a ton doing this, but you have to account also for what your profit is, how many trades it involves, etc. If you make 5c profit on flipping some chromes, is this a better use of your time than what you'd make on farming better stuff that generate you 1 exalt profit. As said above, fating some items can generate 1 exalt+ profit. Flipping penny currency is good profit, but it does use your time. Spamming silver coins and sealing prophecies worth 2-3c is profit, but it is very time consuming to turn those coins to chaos orbs and exalts. I'm just not impressed when some prophecy farmer tell me they rolled 2 fated connections or whatever. Same as penny currency flipping, anything you do is profitable, the point is how profitable is it per hour. It has grown significantly worst overtime for prophecies. We use to have reliable big money prophecies. You'd get a possessed foe prophecy, it was 20-30 chaos. Now, you get this same prophecy, you seal and trash it because it is worth zero chaos. However, regardless of what I'm saying here, I do flip currency as part of many other things. I do seal some prophecies that I won't be using and will sell them. Just keep in mind whatever you do, you should try to be in a market where there isn't too many people doing the same thing. If you find out flipping augments or scraps is better profit than flipping chromes, then flip what fewer people do. If you are in smaller market like horizon orbs or binding orbs, the profit can often be stupidly high. If you want to set a huge buy order tab, you can start flipping more things with huge margins such as eldeshaper frags, Legion emblems, essences, etc. Just because ghazzy tell you to flip horror essences doesn't make it the best. But it is of course fine. You can however flip most big essences (shrieking and above) for significant 50%+ markup. Often 80%. But then, I also have buy order for essences, because I feel it is such a great way to craft items. Don't listen to Ziz about this. You most definitely want to push toward deafening essences crafting for some stuff, because while it is minor improvement, getting above t1 life roll on boots or gloves can be huge on many outcomes. It can be a starter base for mirror-tier sort of stuff then if you hit crazy prefixes like t0 life with t1 hybrid and 35% movement speed prefixes. Crafting with essences can be better than fossils, solely because it has mods that cannot naturally roll. But definitely, this primarily apply to high end crafting which uses deafening. But we digress here, you can also just plain flip essences by buying them slowly and selling them in bulk to exalts. Overtime, horror essences went from being a few chaos and now they are 3-4 to one exalt. 25c+ each. So you can also invest into filling up your essence tab overtime and eventually when you have a lot of them and the market have matured, they will sell back at huge margin of profit.
Flipping currency is simple, because it can be instant. You buy 10 chromes for 1 chaos, you sell 9 chromes for 1 chaos, etc. But one thing people have often felt is too complicated for them is flipping items. Now it too can be instant. You can snipe stuff for 10c you sell back for 100c all of the time. It can also be delayed. As said with replica shroud, you can also use almost any item that is somewhat rare that will overtime gain value. Early league is shit for making currency, but it is also the best time to buy certain things for cheap. While a few items like Primordial Jewels this league will lose a lot of value quickly, most others will gain a lot of value overtime. So what is flipping then? To me, it is simple, to some people buying something is spending currency. That is true for some items, like buying a headhunter is the best investment in your clear speed, but as an investment it is the worst as it will tend to decline in value quickly... unless you get it very very early league for 40 exalts. As I did this league. I got Headhunter for 40 exalts, then sold it back a few days later for a profit. But if you get it at peak value of 100 exalts, you are making a lost. However, the same is not true for almost everything else. When you buy something, almost anything, you are not spending, you are making a profit. Because it often will sell for more later. So, for example, I got a ring for my build for 20c early league and it sold a little later once I upgraded it for 2 exalts. The ring I upgraded it to could also be resold for a profit. The boots I got early for an exalt were resold for 5 exalts later. They sold so quickly for that amount that I feel maybe I could have asked for more given by that time they had a useful enchant and 28% hillock quality on them. So, what I'm saying here is, you are never really spending currency as long as you are buying things you can sell back once you are done using them. In fact, as we said, exalts is dead money. Spending it is good once you understand anything you buy is likely to be sold later for more. Early league is bad for making currency because everyone will argue this item you priced 15 chaos is worth only 10 chaos. While later, this very same item, you'll price 1 exalt and people will feel they found a great deal. There are definitely items that are worth most very early on. For sure, on day 1 of a league, maybe you'll spend 5c on a unique item you need for your specific build. This unique is very common and will essentially have zero trade value later on short of a perfect roll. Some other items that are very hard to access like uber atziri uniques will have peak value within the first few days. In general however, almost anything you purchase early on will gain tremendous value so long as what you do buy is not total dogshit. It is very easy to snatch up perfect rare jewels in the early hours of the league for next to nothing. You can find jewels for 5-10c at that time which will be worth 5-10 exalts later. People just need currency quickly and even if they know they have an amazing jewel there, they will sell it for 10c because they know people don't have 2 exalts for a single rare jewel at that time. So what is flipping then when anything you purchase is profitable? To me it just mean you don't vendor your stuff for alt shards once done using them. Making currency is, once again, having everything priced and ready to go. Just because you got something for 10c early in the league doesn't mean you can't sell it back a month later for 300c. It just depend what it is. This is just to say flipping is just buying anything almost. There are so few exceptions where that won't work. So long as you do your due dilligence and make sure to find a good deal. Which may mean waiting to make a big purchase to make sure you find the best price on the best possible rolls.
While writing this, I made around 40 exalts worth of various sales. I sold some big items like The Surrender shield, Saqawal boots for 3 exalts, Saqawal armor for 3-4 exalts, etc. I make over 100 exalts a day. I do this through various means as shown above. The key to me is finding things that sell and sell often. But you can also do things that sell less often. Like I would buy a bunch of realmshaper 6L and turn them into realm ender 6L. That takes up a lot of room in your stash, but it tend to be big profit even if not as big a seller as a 6L wildwrap or even 6L wall of bramble. If you just blindly farm maps with some juice, picking up random currency, you are just doing what everyone else is doing. It's ok, anything is profitable, but this is not the best. If anything I'd have said for this league, currency is overrated. We were in the midst of a league that flooded the market with too much of it, so it felt bad to even bother picking up regret orbs. You need to adapt to the reality of the current league. If currency is bad, then move to other things. Fracturing blueprints was well and good, but once too many people started doing the same thing, we started seeing exalts dropping dead toward the 25 chaos value point. Everything started to be absurd, such as getting full windows worth of chisels for two stacks of chaos. In this scenario, you adapt and realize that currency drop is not a lot of money. It's best to focus elsewhere. If people have lots of exalts, they'll blow it away on absurd things. So my suggestion is to basically stay away from what everyone else is doing. I started during Legion and quickly decided I would not do Glacier farming. I'd just farm high tier maps and doing so, I'd drop a lot of maps that Glacier farmers would pay a lot for since they were not dropping any. Similarly this league, I'd mostly focus on getting stuff to sell that Blueprint farmers lacked. This is not for everyone and require some figuring out what works for current league. It can of course be buying out what grand heist farmers get too much of. So if you are buying their alt gems, their replica uniques, all this stuff is good investment and they did tend to get rid of them as by-product of their currency farm. Those, all of this stuff, rose in value a whole lot over the course of the league. Essentially, if you were continually buying up those replicas, those special orbs, those alt gems, you were making significant profit. While people who did farm blueprints picking up and giving away full screen of chisels for two wisdom scrolls... they did make profit because anything you do generate profit. But you are doing better holding on to things that grow in value rather than merely a bunch of exalts. Also, as said, generate things that people want. You can for sure straight farm Uul Nethol breachstones to get the shield and sell that. But early league those stones were very costly. You can realize people love Saqawal items for aura stacking or the tornado build and massively farm that boss for more profit than anything else possible in the game. Of course, you can't do this all day, but it was possible to make 50 exalts an hour once a beast farmer gave you all those bosses to run. It again depend how much pressure there is on the market to buy all those beast bosses. But even if you want to do something else, it can work too. For example, the fenumal boss recently was sold for 0.3 or 0.4 exalts... while the aspect you get out of killing it sold for 0.9 exalts. So you go there with a friend, get 2 aspects and you have a chance to get the gloves too that sell rather well. You can also corrupt them for despair on hit for maximum profit.
To conclude, never ever believe people who tell you things are worth more early league and you shouldn't bother picking anything up past that point. The reality is more upside-down. Whatever sell for 10c early league is worth 100c later on. Most significantly for rares. Yes, some very trash rares may sell for something early league, like whatever two-stones with life and single resist. Those may not hold value if they are pretty bad, but good rares tend to be way too cheap early league and will rise in value significantly. Most significantly for me are good jewels and good jewelry. There are lots of good deals to be fetched if you pay attention and obviously, it can all be part of your gearing up. You will lose money buying some uniques that are too common to later hold value, but you will make currency buying rares that are just plain underpriced because people cannot afford yet to spend several exalts on good jewels. So if you gear up smartly, you can invest first in huge power buff with jewels and only later start spending on unique items you need. But well, even many unique items are very good deals early on, like for example if you just wanted a farrul fur this league, it was super cheap to get through div cards and only much later started to rise in value. Or if you wanted a soul ripper, div cards were stupidly cheap for that too. To make as much as I did during this long league, you just have to find stuff you can do that can yield you an exalt every few minutes. Not always simple, but it tend to be better than just doing what everyone else is doing. If people all start to use Iron Fortress because strenght stacking is popular, then just make Iron Fortress. You will not be alone having this idea, so you need to check that the market have not already been run down. Things change each league, but even if you cater to smaller markets, you can make a decent amount just providing a smaller amount of items for which there is less demand. Again, all those budget-friendly guides that will start showing up are all pointless unless you just play poorly and just buy without ever selling anything at all. Investing in a build is not lost currency. If you spend 200 exalts in your build because it has expensive awakened gems, did you lose this currency? Of course not, a awakened multistrike is expensive but have held up its value ever since it came out. So if you have it in your build, you can always sell it back if you need that currency. So this gem is not budget friendly, but the money you put in acquiring it is not lost. It can actually be "cheaper" to make a budget-unfriendly build than a budget one. Because if you go around throwing together cheap garbage gear together that you later sell for alt shards, your budget build did cost you quite a bit. You have found some rare rings for 5c that are not good enough to sell back. It is all irrelevant because you upgrade your build overtime. So try to spend a bit more on good items that you know hold value. Get a ring that cost 20c because you think later on you can sell that for 2-3 exalts. There is no budget to a build except the amount of time it takes you to go from Hillock in act 1 to the ability to spend that 20 chaos on a proper piece of gear. Then that money is not lost, it's just in your gear. It may have cost you 20c, but it may really be worth several exalts once you invest 20 catalysts on it if it is good enough to warrant this investment. If you have a choice between a cheap corrupted lvl 20 gem and a more expensive lvl 21 gem, you likely should spend more on the level 21 because it will hold or gain value. Most level 21/23 gems early on are very good investment opportunities as they grow in value quickly. So what is the most budget build in the end? Spending 1c on a bricked gems you can't ever sell back or spending 20c on a 21/23 gem you can later sell for 200... As usual, flipping is not complicated. Anything you buy can be a flip, so long as you understand many things increase in value overtime as people have more currency to spend. Going into budget build can be more expensive than optimizing your build to have good gear that will increase in value rather than become worthless. It can be difficult to continually have enough for everything early on, but it will be worth it in the long run. Basically, don't try to hoard currency early on. Spend it and spend it wisely. If you buy things that make sense, your build budget is that you just spent 200 exalts to make a build worth 500 exalts a few weeks later. Overtime, I did find out one of the most expensive thing in a build is optimizing jewels, gems, clusters, etc. Much more so than the items in most cases. And as said, those tend to be cheaper early on. It's a bit stupid to consider the cost of a build merely on the items used, because that tend to be a small part compared to lvl 6 awakened gems for pure min/maxing or now lvl 21 alt gems or corrupted clusters and jewels for RMR. That's the expensive part, items are not that bad generally... and will be even cheaper now with Harvest crafting. Hope if you were patient enough to read this whole wall of text, you found some useful information. As often repeated, what worked this league like farming Saqawal boss may not next league. You need to have many tricks that generate currency. It's easy to be narrowly exploiting one aspect. Like you decide, I'm a crafter so all I do is get currency to invest in big project crafts and I do this over and over again because that makes me big profit. But I prefer finding many things that work. Even if it can be insanely tedious, such as buying div cards because the outcome is several exalts profit on the cost of the individual cards. I will do that if I just want to make currency. If fating briskwrap 6L to wildwrap is super good profit and sell nonstop, I will have to sit down and buy a bunch of prophecies and 6L briskwrap, but it is not too bad if I consider that in the end, all those will yield me significant profit. Sadly, a lot of making profit in this game will involve having to buy a lot of things on trade site. Even if you just want to juice your maps, you'll have to buy the map material. But if all you do is the same thing over and over again, maybe you get bored. Like if you figure that doing Simulacrum is the one thing that net you the most profit per hour, but it is all you do. I think you will get burned out. It's good, but I dislike having just one trick to make profit. So I switch things around. Even if farming Saqawal boss is good, I'm well aware if I fill 4 tabs with armors and boots and gloves that maybe I won't be able to sell all of this if I continually farm more of them. So I wait for some of them to sell before I run a new stack of bosses. To me anyway, it is important to have many things you do that yield you profit. If you are just obsessed for the full league just crafting the same type of stygian belts over and over again, it will also be profitable, but maybe you can try to diversify what you do.
Amidst the sea of concrete snow that the stage had become, egged on by Agnes’ unusual encore request that Metra had agreed to, the killing intent of the self-styled villain and master mixologist had won out against the comparable brutality of the affable mercenary who had tried to take his life with just as much brutality. The crowd, though annoyed by being utterly doused in carbonated everything, literally tossed around, literally watching their fellow partygoers exsanguinated and turned into meat puppets, did not allow it to ruin their fun, cheering on for Metra and her eclectic song choices. Agnes hopped off the makeshift surfboard he’d constructed, his opponent cut to pieces and speared and speared to hell, and it a testament to the sheer resilience of Guy-Manuel Mota that, even in such a gored, pulverized state, his opponent wondered if he was actually dead. Regardless, he wasn’t getting back up, or reassembling, or pulling any more surprises or attempts to play possum. Realizing that it was over, Agnes was shaking. Breathing heavily. Hints of tears started to form in his eyes… but before he had a chance to cry, he arched back, laughing into a sea of concrete snow. He’d won again. “There you go, Metra, your show is saved or whatever,” he said with a mocking flippancy as she left the crowd to meet him backstage, “and I didn’t even kill any of these guys who paid to see you… They’ll just have to deal with sticky-wet clothes and some broken limbs.” “Can’t believe this happened again… And I just had no choice but to keep singing and dancing.” Metra rubbed her hands on her arms, shaking her head. “I’m sick of this shit… I thought it was all almost over, but it’s just going to be forever in this city, huh?” “Probably,” Agnes said, still half-laughing through a strained face, “just a constant, encroaching wave of ‘despair’ every waking moment… Way I see it, either you ride that shit as far as you can, or you let yourself drown. Doesn’t make a difference to me which you do.” He glanced up at the ceiling then, cupping his hands. “Hey, fuckers! I won now! I beat the guy you sent! Get on the biggering or I’ll burn your casino down again!” The game had, in fact, been won, and Agnes and Metra were the first to start to be free of its grasp, along with the spiked and bloodied separated bits of Guy, still pulsating ambiguously. “He’s out for blood.” Tigran declared, warning the others Entertainment District highrollers observing, as he produced a deck of cards. “My Stand can’t hold him at that size much longer… But this whole place is about to be flooded with people, too. Duck into somewhere, and get away in the confusion.” He spoke authoritatively, and even his sole superior, Fox, complied with his wishes after an urgent glance. “I… I’ll come for you! I promise I will!” Tigran didn’t hear much more of that, then, beyond the sounds of Pork Soda’s Stand cry amplified by sonic boosts courtesy of Metra Doria. He fought impressively with little more than a deck of cards, but even then, could only buy his friends the seconds they needed to get away, live to gamble another day. Tigran “Golden” Sins, User of ‘The Grid Retired! Face broken in nearly a dozen places by Agnes and TD/MD, the 48 year-old owner of Heartache Casino would be very quickly interned at Red Clay penitentiary, Metra insisting that her ally not kill him. As thousands of confused concertgoers suddenly grew to full size and began to flood the halls of the Alexander Dickinson Amphitheater, the rest of his accomplices were able to escape the authorities yet again. Despite his extremely infamous protectiveness towards his face, he almost seemed to wear the damage with pride, knowing that this time, it represented having allowed the only man he considered greater than himself to run free yet again. Red Clay Penitentiary - Industrial District “Well, well, well, isn’t this a small world now? Tigran Sins, now in my care… Certainly less of a looker than I’d heard.” A dark-wavy-haired twenty-something sat snickering in the warden’s big swivel-chair, clad in a sleeveless velvet minidress, what of her flesh was exposed covered in flickering tattoos resembling closed eyes, flanked by uncanny-looking guards. “You don’t know me, but I’ve certainly heard of you… Of how you treated someone I hold dear very cruelly. Don’t you understand we’re all Stand Users trying to live our best life, Mr. Golden? I’m not the one who hurt you and threw you in here, and you’re not the one who said that I needed to be kept half-starved at all times so I couldn’t create anything.” “Wh… Wait. Who the hell’re you?” “Did my sweetheart never mention me, or do you just not pay attention to anyone but you and yours?” She leaned forward, bridging her fingers together. “I’m Palmer. I was a drama teacher at a small-town high school, but they kept overfunding football, one thing led to another, and now… I’ve got some serious vision.” Tigran would be the last inmate admitted to Red Clay before a coup months in the making finally came to fruition. Hey, yeah, Palmer! Remember that fun NPC? She was dating Mr. Jones and killed four people for him! Anyway, yeah, adjacent to him, an all-out meanspirited brawl in a sewer is taking place, feat. two chaotic clowns and two very frustrated young women. What rotten luck this had been. That leak, now of all days, when Being So Normal, Cairo Satori’s pet project that they had been slaving away at ever since setting foot in this series, had the deals with the devil that it had been built upon from the very beginning exposed for the world to see, and the city, which had loved every second of it before, had now been divided sharply between the loyal fans remaining and those protesting the entire thing, demanding the resignation of their producer, the cancellation of a show which had been picked up by so many streaming platforms, had already begun to make so much for the people who had made a livelihood of it all. With the connection to Andrew Tiffany’s demise, even the oh-so-loyal Purple Flying Man resigned with only a short argument, and even the damage control removal of Caroline Jeffords, responsible for the worst of it, did little to contain the fact that Cairo knew about this, and Cairo allowed this to proceed nonetheless. What, were they going to just throw it all away at the last minute? Ruin lives, tank companies, get how many people laid off? All over the failures of those close to them? Of course not. “Cairo, dear,” the voice of that ever-troublesome producer, Million Dollars, muttered into a cell phone for them, “I’m going to need to go under the radar for awhile… People are beginning to look into my own affairs as well. But know that, as always, no matter what, you have my support. This show isn’t just a cash cow, Cairo… It’s an example. An example for the world to look to, and something for Stand Users to aspire to be better. I know you’re probably mad at us as well, but… You know that, don’t you?” “Dollars… You’ve got a lot of nerve, trying to plead with me right now,” Cairo answered, tense in what had been their green room, sitting in the mall their producer had owned, “we definitely need to talk about our future… But we need to have one, too. Of course the show must go on… Nothing’s gonna jeopardize that!” Free Viper Strip Mall, Suburban District In recent times, the atmosphere at Free Viper was… somewhat dire. In fact, it had been on a rapid decline since that fateful day a couple months ago when Bert hijacked a ritual meant to challenge fate and did so, while murdering tens of thousands of people and injuring far more than that at the same time. Actually, Black Knight Penitentiary Album’s death and the realization that Remix was a serial killer came before that and weren’t very uplifting either, but what Bert did was somewhat hard to top. Either way, the realization that he found one of the most morally bankrupt groups of people to team up with in Los Fortuna was one that Arthur Lifeson had reached not too long ago, and though it was somewhat of a painful thing to come to terms with, he had no choice but to do so and simply carry on. Bert had died, and the least Arthur could do from here on out would be to do his best to assist the city of Los Fortuna and bring justice to those who deserved it. The city certainly needed it, given all that was occurring right now. For all the time Arthur spent in the city, he hadn’t gotten enough of note done yet… but that was soon to change. He had a plan in mind, one that would help keep the city and the world of stand users as a whole from devolving into further chaos. Before he could put it in place, however, he’d have to get some help. Los Fortuna Shopping District, Sweet FA Mall - The Next Day Nix Ripa had been in this city for months now, and in that time, all he had done was tear down walls, break buildings, break people who had dared to step all over the safety of others, of those too weak to bend fate to their whims. It was despicable to him, and the icy Stand User was seething with hot rage. Those without the power to change the world themselves were pitiable, in their ways, yet at once, he knew they were not above help… That they needed to be driven higher, reach for the stars rather than wave to the heroes they saw in them! When Arthur Lifeson discovered and contacted him, he did not hesitate to make his way to the megamall in which this was all set to culminate. Rather than in the comfortable solitude of the Black Hill Estate, where he could train without disruption, he’d even spent the night in an alley nearby, wanting to be able to spring out first thing in the morning! When he did, then, as if on schedule, the older bearded man who had requested his help stood at the foot of Sweet FA, looking himself quite regal with that increasingly modified Medieval Times getup. “Sir Ripa… It is an honor to meet in person, with yet another warrior of great acclaim.” “Heh… I’ve seen you around,” Nix answered, stretching off the sleeping-on-a-dumpster aches and forcing out his hand, which Arthur, in turn, grabbed firmly, the pair locking fingers tightly and staring one another down intensely. “Did a damn fine number on those guys at this very mall awhile back… And it takes some guts to drive out into the Middle Finger for any reason! The mountains are where I do my most intense training of all!” “Aye, I regrettably was fooled into following the glorious allure of Being So Normal… I lack even your good reason, of how you and your fallen brother-in-arms, Sir Rains, apprehended a true villain in the process of this fight, and even a black knight who would have put a past companion of mine to shame with her depravity.” He looked towards the space and shuddered. “The show, it refused to show the truth, but the wounds from that grueling battle, the burns… They were excruciating. That witch Jeffords, nothing she’s touched can be trusted as a truth to show the world.” “So we’re in agreement then!” Nix said, finally letting the handshake go as Arthur’s hand began to grow numb, rolling his arms around and turning to face Sweet FA. “I looked into this place, their mission statement, their show, their producer… Set a good example my ass! They just want the whole damn world to think there’s nothing better than being a Stand User! That the ground we walk on should be kissed just for what we’ve got! Well… I’m no goddamn celebrity!” “Heavy is the head that wears the crown,” Arthur agreed, “and this mockery… It will not do good for the world to learn of us this way. A knight’s honor is not something we seek for glory, for congratulation, but because there is no greater purpose than to slay evil, to protect those who cannot for themselves!” “Heh… I like you. After this, we’re sparring ‘til one of us can’t move!” Nix led the way in there, then, Arthur feeling pause for a moment at the sheer intensity of his companion. This was not of fear, however, or of a sudden feeling of inadequacy at someone so much younger, yet so much more driven than him. Nay, he had been filled with more righteous determination than ever, and with a battle cry that led to a family with two kids in a stroller staring his way, he ran in after him! … … As soon as they reached the main foyer of the mall, both of them realized, in tandem, and Nix spoke first, “…this place is huge as hell! Where do we even go to smash shit up?” “I… That. That is a good point! Perhaps we should conduct a map kiosk, one which says ‘you are here!’ Ugh, those are always a pain to read…” “I’ll help you.” Both turned, then, to see a very fashionable teenager, clad in a purple aviator cap and goggles, slim and bearing a dour expression on his face. All who had hung around Cairo would recognize the Purple Flying Man from someplace or another, as well as all the extremely online and influencer-following of Los Fortuna. “This show… They’ve done so much to capitalize on my uncle’s death. They’ve actively stopped the truth of whatever might have happened to him from being investigated with their frameup… And this conflict, I have lost two of my brothers to it all over again.” He paused, then, and the two men seemed to trust him. “You won’t be able to erase the show completely… It’s already had a limited run in this city. But masters, extra footage, content they were going to actually send out… There’s a storage space nearby… Most of the show’s data is backed up, of course, but that’s where everything is being saved. If your wish is to sabotage Being So Normal, to ruin its international release before it can cause any more harm to the outside world, that is where you go.” “So you’ve had a change of heart yourself… I am thankful to hear that, Purple One…” Arthur snapped his fingers, then, as if remembering his name. “Right, now I remember! ‘Afton,’ wasn’t it?” Purple’s face faulted. “Erm… N-no, eheh. It, uh… It wasn’t that. I haven’t been anything but ‘Purple’ for a very long time.” “No matter what you’re called, an enemy of this show’s from within is just what we need to make this a little less of a pain in the ass!” Nix declared. “Lead the way!” A Series of Backstage Halls Deep Within Sweet FA Acrobatic and stealthy as he was, after leading the way in for those who had sought out this quest to begin with, Purple hurried along deeper inward, well aware that it was likely this place would not be unguarded, and meaning to scout ahead, maybe even fight a bit if he absolutely needed to. He really, really did not want to, and so far, it wasn’t reassuring to him that nobody had interrupted them. No show staff, no Stand Users, not even some rent-a-cop had yet gotten into the way of this. As he made his way to a security room, quietly bemoaning the fact that he would never live down infiltrating a security room with that damned nickname Bad Apples had given him, his worst fears were confirmed. His friend, his confidante, Cairo Satori was sitting in a swivel chair, watching screens displaying the entire mall and idly leaning their head into a metal baseball bat. “Purp…” They spoke up without even turning to face him. “Wasn’t expecting to see you again so soon! I mean, with everywhere you’ve blocked me, privated your accounts… I was under the impression you needed some time away from the show.” Purple hopped down, then, walking closer towards the chair, clearing his throat and pondering his words clearly. “The show needs time away from the show, Cairo… You know damn well why I brought myself back. Come on. You know this isn’t right… It doesn’t have to be this, and even just delaying could save-” “Delay, huh?” They stood, twirling that bat they’d always carried around. It didn’t worry Purple. He’d never seen them actually using it. “C’mon… You know it’s not that simple, buddy. I’m just trying to make sure everyone has a good time… Already, I’m cutting toxic people out of the show! Even when they’ll make it harder to make anything going forward, Caroline is gone! I’ll keep that producer on a really short leash! I am doing everything in my power to make sure that this goes well… C’mon, can’t you look on the bright side?” “You… You already know my answer to that. You’ve betrayed my trust, Cairo. The trust of my uncle, of everyone you’ve worked with… Of this whole city!” He shifted in place, then, becoming a much more avian humanoid figure with its pose. “I am its lavender courage, and I am your friend! And as both, I cannot abide by-” Cairo swang their bat, and as they did, the arms of a Stand emerged from their own hand and struck it as well, multiple times in quick succession. By the time the bat impacted Purple, it was with enough force for the deeply resilient eternally-young ghost to be sent hurtling towards a wall, literally impacting it hard enough to leave an impression in its form, embedded and unconscious in a single swing. He was alive, and would walk this off, but he wouldn’t be getting back up today. “Sorry ‘bout that,” they said, standing with the bat over their shoulder, ‘Peach Pit’ manifesting more fully by their side (drawn by the artist Boy George, as usual), “but I can tell we don’t have time to chat… I’ll send you a gift basket from the launch party, yeah?” Then, their attention turned towards the others on the security room screens, addressing their Stand in the meantime, “uh, hey, Peach…” “I’m on it,” the Stand answered, “Arthur Lifeson and Nix Ripa… I’m excited for this, honestly.” “And you don’t need to know that I am to, honestly…” Cairo moved to press the intercom button. “I heard violence!” Nix called out, balling his fists. “Purple found someone!” He began to rush forward, then, Arthur preparing to make a blade, only to be stopped by the crackling of an intercom button. “Hello again! Wow, it really isn’t all that often that Being So Normal has repeat appearances, but that’s, what, twice in this promotional cycle alone?” Cairo’s voice rang through, then, and they continued, “I figured we’d see some trouble here, so I gave most of staff the day off… I knew it’d be types like you two who showed up, and honestly, I gotta say, despite the circumstances, I’m a bit psyched!” “Cairo Satori!” Arthur spoke up then, waving his hands. “Put this madness to a close, before I have to put you to my blade! You need not fall victim to this any longer… To fight us is a waste of time!” “Well, I’ve got time to kill, and nobody to talk to, now that my friend’s taking a bit of a nap. And besides, you think I’m gonna just let you destroy everything we’ve been working to build up because you don’t like a couple of the crew members? C’mon, have a reality check here! No way I’m gonna allow that… Especially not right now! Look, why not come talk to me after I’ve completely closed this Netflix deal?” There was silence, then, and then they spoke up again. “Oh, who am I kidding? We both know that this is only gonna end one way! If you wanna stop me from sending this show out for the whole world to know and love, and not just be another little piece of Los Fortuna’s super storied, super amazing history, then STOP me! I’m already sending Peach your way, and there’s no way the two of us will just get walked all over!” Arthur shut his eyes in frustration, but Nix shook his shoulder. “We knew from the start it’d come to this. C’mon… Any more talking this through will be a waste of all our breaths.” “Yeah! This pre-battle stuff goes on way too long, I swear! So much to cut down in post without missing the meat of it… But enough talking shop, yeah? Let’s get to what we’re here for… You wanna say it with me? …no? Okay, suit yourself!” “OPEN THE GAME!” Location: A hallway to several storage rooms in Sweet FA Mall. The area here is 40 by 80 meters with each tile being 2.5 by 2.5 meters. The white tiles are completely out of bounds for this match. The light magenta tiles are the main hallway, the purple tiles are side hallways, and the red tiles are the rooms. Each room has a number associated with it for convenience, as shown by the purple numbers. The ceiling is 8 meters tall. The doorways are denoted by the dotted lines between the rooms and hallways. The players start at the left end of the hallway and Cairo starts in the security room (room 5) to the right of the bottom center. Cairo’s Stand starts in the middle of the main hallway. The grey X marked circles are security cameras on the ceiling that connect to the monitors that are represented by the yellow notched rectangles in room 5. The light blue rectangles in the main hallway are 4 meter tall metal shelves that house stage set up equipment such as stepladders, light fixtures, microphones, extension cables, construction tools, and anything else needed to set up or tear down a stage. All shelves are bolted to the ground. The yellow stars are disks, tapes, harddrives and other recordings of the footage shot by Cairo’s show. The walls are drywall while the floor is ceramic tiled. Now onto the different rooms:
Room 1: Contains racks and cardboard bins of merchandise. The brown rectangles are cardboard bins of plushies and hats. The red circles are racks of clothing merchandise.
Room 2: Contains a mountain of chairs and other furniture within a 5 meter tall metal storage fence as represented by the light blue rectangle and the junk inside it. Each side of the fence has a chain locked door.
Room 3: Contains various cooking appliances and peripherals. The white rectangles are 4 meter tall metal storage shelves and the magenta rectangles are 5 meter tall metal storage containers. Basically any appliance that doesn’t fit on a shelf is put into one of the three containers.
Room 4: Contains two long tables as represented by the grey L-shaped rectangles. On these tables are neatly laid out items that were used in Round 2 Match 4, this means Riot Shields, Fireworks Cannons, Magnetic Ray Guns, Grappling Hook Guns, smoke bombs, Tar filled paintball guns, mannequins, body armor, skateboards, net launchers, fire extinguishers, step ladders, marbles, bowling balls, trampolines, shovels, steel chairs, and blankets. Only the crystal ball is missing. The blue circle is a barrel of fencing foils and the yellow rectangle is a banged up motorcycle that while not completely totaled is in pretty bad shape.
Room 5: The security room. It is rather bare, only housing the monitors set-ups to the security cameras and three swivel chairs to go with them.
Goal: RETIRE your opponents! Additional Information: As a reminder, White Tile areas are out-of-bounds for this match. If you willingly traverse through them you will be retired by a pair of mall cops. Here is a shortened version of Cairo’s character sheet with all relevant information, the full sheet is linked below Name: Cairo Satori Age: 21 Gender: None, whose business is that anyways? Species: Human Occupation: Beloved Media Icon Equipment: The newest smartphone, two sets of wireless earbuds for communicating directly with [Peach Pit] quietly, a bag of weed mints, and a baseball bat. User Stats: Strength: 3 (Too much effort to get properly strong- Cairo can throw as much effort into a hit as they need to in order to finish someone off after being brought to near-retirement by [Peach Pit], and that’s about the maximum they need.) Agility: 2 (Never had to run after or from anything.) Endurance: 2 (Not one to hold up under sustained pressure for very long, hoping to duck back from any conflicts except where absolutely necessary.) Conduction: 2 (Able to personally carry their Stand’s damaging energy through them, and has a general knowledge of how to apply it.) Vibing: 3 (It's for vibe checks- the necessity of finishing an opponent off personally, in a fast and hard strike. The full force of their strength, loaded into one moment rather than a series of fests. Also, they do have good vibes.) Stand Name: [Peach Pit] Stand Appearance: On the bulkier side of stand builds, Peach Pit has some resemblance to a knight in plate armor- big, dark metallic pauldrons, a chestplate, an assortment of straps and buckles, etc. The surface of the stand looks very much like a sunset with its colors flipped around. Its face is smooth except for a simple minimalist icon of the sun, and the rest of the head is mostly covered by a knight's helmet as well. A gradient of sorts goes from the head of the stand down to its armored feet, starting with an orange-red and ending in black with white specks like stars in the night sky. About/Oddities: The stand is dangerous, outright. The manifestation of an incredible will for a very specific life gave it incredibly high offensive might, and although Cairo has depleted its very low ‘potential,’ nothing else has decreased in the slightest. Additionally, [Peach Pit] is sentient, and thinks of itself as a close friend and bodyguard to Cairo. Despite being able to dish out high damage, it is very much a friendly, calm and collected individual, having respect even for those it has to fight. As such, [Peach Pit] leaves RETIRING opponents up to its user completely. An enemy can be beaten down, but will still be able to pull together and carry on albeit impeded until Cairo personally finishes them off. This isn't simply a choice- if instructed to keep pressure on an opponent who's down but not out, its strikes can indefinitely inflict serious pain and yet never be quite enough to injure a foe to the point where they're considered RETIRED. Due to the bold weakness in this, for how combat inefficient and easily hurt its user is, Peach doesn't have full damage transference. Instead, it can be destroyed repeatedly- Cairo takes one instance of C power damage upon its destruction, and it can be resummoned from Cairo's position after ten seconds. Peach's presenting identity has been influenced by Cairo's insistence against defining things that way, to the point of being comfortably seen subjectively as anything. Peach will respond to any pronouns without questioning it. Stand Stats: Power: A(The stand can exert a great amount of power in its attacks) Speed: A (Its movements are very fast and its attacks can travel just as quickly) Range: B (50 meters) Durability: E (Subpar durability, however when destroyed the user takes C power damage and the stand can be summoned back to Cairo’s side after 10 seconds.) Precision: C (Generally decent in its movements, but its projectile attacks only move in a straight line once fired and can only be stored within conductive materials. In non-conductive materials it would keep traveling) Ability: Peach Pit lacks a complex ability, as far as one would expect. Rather than intricate effects, its hits themselves can simply be conducted through material similarly the way that electricity does, with distinct variation based on the conductivity of the material. Within conductive material, damage is stored up much like a battery - the moment someone touches the "battery", the damage transfers directly to it on the point of contact. This means that if Peach were to punch a metal rod and someone were to touch it, they would feel the full brunt of Peach's attack the moment they do so. A battery remains charged for up to fifteen seconds, and at any point if it hasn’t been touched and discharged already, Cairo can pick any direction from where the battery is in contact with non-conductive materials to activate the next type of attack. Within non-conductive material, either deployed through battery or direct strike, damage "travels", moving forwards in a straight line at A speed in the same direction it came from. This wave of damage can be seen as it travels, with slight shimmers of light and a crackling sound emanating from where it's currently positioned. Damage cannot travel further than B range from Cairo.
“The thing in Hayato's hand was definitely a handy cam. It doesn't seem to be in this room right now...” This show is a sweet-sounding idea, but it’s so corrupt to its core that you can’t allow it to spread any further than it has. Destroy as many physical backings of the recordings Cairo has made for their show as you can over the course of your strat!
“I even took a video of the cat-like plant you've got in the attic!” This show… You know it’s been an unsavory road, one you wish you could have managed differently, but the good it can do, the way the world might finally begin to understand the ugly and wonderful truths of Stand Users and appreciate them more as a part of their lives… You will celebrate that. Take creative inspiration from actions that took place in matches related officially to ‘Being So Normal!’ That is to say, these 5 matches, R1M5,R1M23,R1M29,R2M4, and R3M8!
