Ive asked around and nobody seems to have any idea except "maybe the cows are fed something different".

These brands claim the milk is not diluted and they dont use permeate. Doesn't matter whether it's fresh or UHT milk either. They claim to not use "milk solids", reconstituted milk, or anything like that and only use 100% milk. They all have approx 3.5g of fat per 100g.

Cowhead brand milk is notorious for tasting watery IMHO. Meanwhile, i've drank milk from a French brand called Promess and it was so rich and creamy despite having the same fat % as Australia/NZ brands like Devondale and Harvey Fresh, i have no idea why there is such a big difference...i've also drank milk from Germany and Slovakia, they dont taste anywhere near as good...

I'm talking about the "swish" sound effect whenever someone types something in area chat, party chat or alliance chat.

With area chat, you can move to a quiet block...but that doesnt work for alliance chat. That sound effect gets annoying fast when there are a lot of people talking in alliance chat.

I checked the settings and there doesnt seem to be anything for it...i also tried streamer mode, but that doesn't mute the sound, it just prevents you from seeing any new messages in your chat log window.

Most augs are super cheap now and its easy to make fixa 3+ gear atm with the treasure shop sale, so getting a full set of updated gear should be pretty cheap at this point. But even if you don't, they are going to release a new set of free handout gear on Jun 3rd anyway.

So if you are just starting out, you may want to skip making the armor since armor has no budget series with free aug transfers. Just remember that free armor can only go up to Fixa 1, so you will miss out on some PB generation boosts from Fixa 3+ Orgsys.

Now the key question is, is it worth affixing Telphia Domina now with the +10% aug event boost? Unless you are a rich player chasing BIS gear, i would say no.

On Ship One, Telphia currently costs about 2m. Even if you are using +20% aug boosters (the best option available from free scratches), your success rate is only 40% with the event boost.

To affix 4x Telphias would require, on average, 10 attempts costing 20m total. If you have a large stockpile of aug protections from exchanging 40x SG badges or from the SG shop (120 SG each), the cost drops by 2m per aug protection, on average. Note that aug protection is consumed even if you succeed.

Ship two's prices are significantly lower, but still seem to be about 1.5m.

Going from 4x ultias to 4x telphias now is a roughly 2.91% DPS increase. If you are a casual player that doesn't play often and makes 2-3m per week on average, this is probably way too expensive for you to care about.

In case you are wondering how long the price will take to drop...From what i heard, it's at least 4 months. 3-4 months for them to add the aug as a normal drop in LTQs/UQs (instead of Heinsdias only) and then more time for the market to stabilise as people start affixing their gear and selling the extras. It's up to you if you are willing to wait that long to be behind in 2.91% DPS.

Telphias currently do not drop by themselves, you have to use 50x heinsdia + 10x ultias to make them.

Right now, Heinsida costs about 50k and Ultias cost about 120k on ship 1. So it takes about 3.7m worth of mats to make a Telphia.

But Telphias only sell for 2.4m now. In other words, there is no point making Telphia to sell or use when you make more selling the heinsdia and ultias seperately...

I don't get it, why is the market behaving like this? Also, why is the price of heinsida not dropping like a rock now that it's the weekend + we have a double UQ dropping heinsdia? The last weekend we had, prices of Evalto and new rings dropped like a rock once people started farming the UQ the whole day.

Mainly because the mobs in the alter realm have way too much HP compared to LTQ mobs. The Waulon LTQ was something fun and relaxing that you could do after a long day of work. The Alter realm farming feels like a chore and takes too long.

I just did all ship matchmaking and timed how long it took to trigger a PSE burst. When i entered the room, it was 4 players and the PSE bar was 1/5, but the room quickly went up to 7/8. It took 14 minutes to clear a pse burst + encore. I made 30k raw meseta , and got some junk klirodims and one progre armor. I am up to 3x pse bursts with no Rappy trial in sight. Needless to say, Dext Base r1 blows it out of the water.

Unless you have a top dps room, this is absolutely awful rewards for the time spent. The Waulon LTQ was at least fun and you could do a few runs a day without it feeling like a chore, and pug groups consistently averaged 8 minutes or less for me. The Alter realm feels like a huge waste of time.

It really wouldn't be that bad if the mobs had the same HP as LTQ mobs...and i'm confused as to why they don't since this is supposed to replace LTQs for the next two weeks. This is supposed to be the regular casual content that everyone can enjoy, but it's simply not worth farming without a top DPS group.

Or they could have made the Rappy trial a 100% chance to spawn, then you would be guaranteed some rewards in the form of beta reactors.

I saw Gua (damage resist) Mel/Tech and Sta (HP) Mel/Tech augs at 2.5m 2-3 days ago and 2.8-2.9m 1-2 days ago on ship 1. They are now 3.5m. I expected the price to be volatile for the first few days and that it would take a few days to drop, but the price just keeps increasing non stop. The demand for Yudi seems to be significantly higher than Yurze because this is the first Yudi scratch + it has a big potency floor bonus.

Everyone i know who spent on the Yudi scratch did it on day one or two and stopped when they got what they wanted. Unless someone goes nuts on the scratch to get EX A augs next week, i don't think the price is going to drop significantly. And people who are going to go nuts on the scratch probably did it over the weekend and have already dumped the unwanted augs on the market. I talked to several people and they all agreed the price was probably going to increase from now on as the supply dries up.

Yudi prices seems to be way lower on ship two, but you should probably still get yours fast while its still cheap.

Even with +640% RDR from the massive event bonuses now and a +100% RDR booster, the LTQ consistently fails to make less money than r1 Dext Base for me. For reference, r1 dext base with 170% RDR (easily achievable without PSO2 day or event bonuses with a +100% booster) makes at least 1.5m/hr. The LTQ is maybe 1m/hr at best so far.

The main problem? The drop rates for obsolete rings are cluttering the loot pool. I have gotten a lot of rings from the LTQ...but most of these rings are worth 1k because nobody is buying them anymore. They should not even be cluttering up the loot pool anymore...just allow players to buy infinite amounts of the obsolete rings from the weapon badge shop and have current content drop the new rings only.

The drop rates for the current augs (argant, etc) are surprisingly low on the LTQ as well. I average 0-1 augs per LTQ run even with +640% RDR. Most of these augs are worth less than 100k now so it's small change. For comparison, the UQ frequently drops several augs with +540% RDR and is a much better use of your time, and obviously has much higher drop rates for the new rings and Evalto as well.

If you are short on time, i would recommend just doing about 20 LTQ runs per week and stopping there. With the event bonuses, you automatically max out the bonus meseta drops in Dext Base (according to Mille, this maxes out at about 300% RDR which matches my experience). You should be able to make at least 2m/hr without any meseta boosters, and about 3m/hr if you are stacking meseta boosters. And yes, i have hit 3m/hr in dext base with the free meseta boosters from the previous treasure scratch (this required a +50% meseta booster in addition to other boosters though).
