This is for you @Shellseawing
In those 300 hours between my last post about this and now a lot of time has passed! Literally 11 months, crazy. Some good has happened, some bad, but mostly a whole lot of nothing. I don’t really consider this some ground breaking achievement. It’s been literally not doing a thing. Not doing something is fairly easy. The only challenge I had was to resist people offering me items to do it (someone offering me a powerful sunken chest to use a spell) and getting sick of just magic being superior to weapons in every way. At this point the struggle is all I know and using magic just feels off. I have used magic on other files for various reasons but they just all feel off, I have little game sense of magic compared to my more slightly average game sense of weapons.
Honestly this is not a hard challenge. I even made another weapons only file since I kinda got bored of spamming sunken and wanted to see how many kids I could troll against by only using like M1’s and terrible throwing weapons. I’d even go as far to say that this is a fun playstyle for one to try out. It is different from magic and if I were to make a comparison it’d be like switching from Shadow to Iron and trying to adapt to that new playstyle a slower magic has.
I am pretty much also just informally quitting WoM as of right now. I will hop on to do some things and make last minute prep decisions for AO but overall I am pretty much not going to be playing WoM. I have had a sharp decline since starting this challenge, I mean hell it took me a year to get 12 days worth of play time. WoM has just become a chore to play and I’m pretty much sick of it at this point. I tried to get to 500 hours yesterday but I was just done with the game after like 3-4 hours. I’m pretty much only going to hop on to item farm and or fish, maybe boss farm too, but I don’t see myself pvping anymore (or at least as actively).
As far as what I’ve learned past these 300 hours from 200 to 500 it’s literally nothing. Nothing about my build other than one change has been made. Prior to this I was using a 914 build now I use a 860 build. Both inferior to the best build I believe, 1022, but I just like the ability to do damage and I find playing a 1022 build makes this already slow playstyle even slower. For the sake of sanity I cannot do it but objectively I think 1022 is the best option.
idk what else to say so I end it here
tldr; look at the title + pictures
