More Guides for Lost Ark:
-
The world of Lost Ark offers many different challenges for heroines and adventurers. Some try to complete achievements, while others want to maximize their character through fine-tuning. If you belong to the latter group, we have some tips for you.
What are these tips? This guide is aimed at players who want to take home the MVP (Most Valuable Player) title after a dungeon. Most of it is irrelevant for normal quests and exploring the world.
The article comes from our reader “Imperator” from the EU server “Thirain”. He has already reached a gear score of 1,330 in Tier 3 with his diligent progress guild “Empyrean” in the EU version.
However, some of the screenshots are from his account on the Russian server, where he had been previously active.
In this guide, we reveal tips to help you become the MVP. 1. This is how the equipment system works
Lost Ark distinguishes between:
- 6 pieces of equipment (helmet, chest armor, pants, gloves, shoulder armor, and weapon) in each of 25 item levels, which determine the base effects depending on the character class. Together, they result in the “level of equipment” or gear score (GS) or item level.
- 7 accessories (necklace, 2 * earrings, 2 * rings, ability stone, bracelet). The bracelet is only available from GS 1,490.
Each piece of equipment has a quality rating between 1 and 100, which greatly influences the granted bonus effects.
Additionally, the gear score is divided into 3 progress classes (Tiers). This is also the ticket to higher regions – Yorn only opens up at the end of T1, while Punika is only accessible at the end of T2. This ensures that in the highest possible region, items will always drop appropriate to your current gear score.
- T1 (Tier 1 or Class 1) up to GS 600
- T2 (Tier 2 or Class 2) up to GS 1,100
- T3 (Tier 3 or Class 3) up to GS 1,575
Unlike many other MMOs, in Lost Ark players do not hope for a lucky item drop, but essentially, all players farm the same equipment. 10 skin slots determine the visual impression and also grant valuable virtue points.
All equipment pieces are available per progress class in 5 different ranks, ascending in power:
- Uncommon (green)
- Rare (blue)
- Epic (purple)
- Legendary (orange)
- Relic (red).
For the higher ranks, you need reward tokens obtained in dungeons. In a grinder game like Lost Ark, you basically need patience, luck, or gold.

Generally, the following applies:
- A T2 blue piece is always better than a T1 purple piece.
- To reach a new tier class, it is generally sufficient to upgrade all 6 equipment pieces to item level 15. However, the power of the purple and orange pieces is significantly better.
- Additionally, there are class-dependent set bonuses with a certain number of set pieces. You can acquire these sets from the NPC “Abyss Trade” or “Abyss Equipment Crafting” for reward tokens from the dungeons. Which of the offered sets you choose depends primarily on your playstyle.
3. How to Get the Best Equipment
How do you get equipment? To obtain the best equipment, it is mainly worth running dungeons and guardian raids. However, each dungeon has a weekly visit limit. If you want to progress faster while collecting your sets, you should definitely buy the reward chest at the end for gold, as it always contains reward tokens.
When exchanging reward tokens, a new equipment piece is created, and its quality is determined randomly. For the purple T2 sword, the range of additional damage is between 5% (at quality 1) and 10% (at quality 100). So if you get an item with a quality below 80, you should immediately “dismantle” it in the inventory window to convert it back to original reward tokens and make a new attempt.
This way, you don’t lose any materials, and the fun only costs you a few small silver coins. You can only do this before you transfer the item level of the previously used equipment piece at the NPC “Equipment Enhancement”.
How do you enhance equipment? To make your equipment stronger, you need to use equipment enhancement. However, as the item level increases, the success rate continuously decreases. From item level 20, you can expect to spend between 60,000 and 150,000 gold for a single successful enhancement attempt (depending on luck).
The enormous element of luck – and the associated frustration factor during crafting in the late endgame is likely the Achilles’ heel in the long-term motivation of Lost Ark. Nevertheless, remember: during crafting, just don’t lose your nerve.
4. Buy a Strong Equipment Piece from the Marketplace
Many equipment pieces are soulbound and therefore not tradable. However, in the late endgame, with the orange T3 set (which you can obtain from gear score 1,340 only through countless Argos runs), you have the option to buy all pieces directly from the auction house for gold.
This way, you can easily acquire strong equipment.
In the auction house, you can buy a special set directly. 5. The Right Accessories and Engravings
What are engravings? The right engravings are an essential part of your character’s power. There are a total of 40 different positive engravings – some of which are unique to each character class, while others are the same for everyone.
For each engraving, you can allocate up to 15 points (more does not provide any advantage) – there is a bonus at every 5, 10, and 15 points. There are also negative engravings, which are always displayed in red.
The points for these engravings come from engraving manuals (of which only 2 can be active at the same time), accessories, and the ability stone.
First, you should decide on a handful of engravings that fit your character class and playstyle. To do this, you can check the engraving overview with Alt+I to read about the different bonuses available. You can find a list of how to obtain the various engravings with our colleagues at Scentculture (via Scentculture).
Engravings play an important role. Buying Engravings in the Auction House: If you don’t want to rely on luck, you can give it a boost yourself. To do this, do not go into the standard “market” activated in the auction house, but into the detailed search of the “Auction House” tab. There, you can search through all currently available equipment pieces for the needed engraving effects or preferred combat stats. Sort the results by quality and act fast.
For each acquisition in this tab, a certain number of Pheons fee is also due, depending on item level, in addition to the gold used. You can obtain these quite rarely in the game – thus, you should use this feature wisely.
Engraving manuals (books) are also available for purchase in the auction house. Naturally, it’s a supply-demand model, so the sought-after engravings quickly become quite pricey. Legendary (orange) books can cost up to 15,000 gold each, and you need 20 copies of the same item.
You can also buy ability stones in the auction house. However, their final usability only emerges after grinding them at the NPC “Ability Stone Mason” – which is a matter of luck.
This is how the detailed search in the auction house works. Important Tip: You can even activate the same engraving manual twice – the points will also be doubled. Thus, it is also quite fast possible to bring the most important engraving to maximum level 3 even in T2 and thus reap significant bonuses.
6. Gems
At certain points in the endgame starting from level 50 (e.g., end boss rush), you can find gems. They are available in both T2 (all gems are blue) and T3 (all gems are orange) in 10 gem levels, categorized in the usual background colors: green, blue, purple, orange, and red.
There are essentially two different variants, each tied to a specific combat skill:
- They either increase damage by a percentage depending on the gem level (these are the triangular ones)
- They reduce the cooldown of the skill by a percentage depending on the gem level (these are the round ones)
At the NPC “Gem Expert”, you can randomly change the bound skill for a fee in silver. With increasing gem levels, this becomes increasingly expensive. In the late endgame, a change attempt costs more than 100,000 silver, and with 18 skills available, this is truly a lottery.
In your inventory, you can merge 3 gems of the same level into 1 gem of the next higher level using “Merge Gems”.
Important: The final version of the result is always random – you can merge two angular gems and one round gem and thus receive a round gem.For higher-quality gems, the auction house is worth considering. Search for the appropriate gem through the detailed search and throw in some gold coins. Gems of level 7 cost about 1,000 gold.
From T2, gems also become important. 7. Understanding Combat Stats
Besides the base stats of the character such as attack power and health points, there are some combat stats whose deeper understanding can be quite helpful. You should adjust your investment in these points based on your preferred playstyle.
- Critical hit chance
- Specialization primarily affects class-specific combat skills, like how the Paladin increases the speed of piety growth
- Mastery increases damage against impaired enemies
- Swiftness increases attack and movement speed and reduces cooldown of your skills
- Toughness increases defense, shield, and healing
- Competence increases the duration and intensity of opponent debuffs (e.g., stumbles) and reduces your own received debuffs
The Roster Level: The progress of your roster experience will increase the main attributes of your character class and vitality at regular intervals, just like rewards through quests or collection tasks. Both make you stronger and more efficient.

Escape from Tarkov: 230,000 see moving video of a Twitch streamer fleeing before the war
The most popular Twitch clip of the hardcore shooter Escape from Tarkov is a short video where Bobuubi concludes a 9-hour stream. It shows the last minute before he leaves a bunker in eastern Ukraine and no one really knows what will happen next.
Trigger warning: This news is about a streamer in the war zone of Ukraine and his escape. It shows images of him saying goodbye to the viewers before a journey into the unknown. Some viewers describe these images as “heartbreaking” or as a “nightmare”. The content of this article may cause distress for some.
This is Bobuubi’s special situation: The Twitch streamer Bobuubi (or simply “Bob”) typically streams in front of 16 viewers, but he is in an extraordinary situation, as he describes (via tarkov.academy).
The Polish native wanted to build a life in eastern Ukraine. He established a family there, found a wife, and had two daughters. Back then, he thought the already ongoing war in eastern Ukraine would be over quickly and that he could build a good life there. But things only got worse.
With the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, his company went bankrupt. To avoid becoming depressed, he turned to the hardcore shooter “Escape from Tarkov”. Friends persuaded him to stream full-time on Twitch to support his family. He saw no other alternative in his situation.
“Bob” streams his favorite shooter in a rustic setting:
Bob did not want to stream from home to avoid disturbing the children but streamed from a military bunker where he brought supplies for a few days. He aimed to build a career as a Twitch streamer in a “authentic environment”. “Escape from Tarkov” is a Russian shooter that emphasizes realism and a brutally harsh scenario.
He hoped that the special atmosphere would attract viewers: He is streaming from a “real hideout” and fights for the “survival of his family”. However, he hasn’t had much success with this approach on Twitch in the two years he has been streaming. In 2021, Bob was seen for 3,700 hours, but on average only had 17 viewers.

Twitch clip shows departure into the unknown
This clip is now being viewed by so many: On February 23, Bob started a stream from his bunker that was intended to last 9 hours.
The stream ends with a passage that went around the world as a Twitch “clip”. The streamer tearfully says goodbye to his friends. It is clear that he wants to flee with his family at least from the worst crisis area and travel abroad.
He thanks his friends and viewers through tears for what they have done for him and then says:
“I just hope that it doesn’t spread to everyone from here.”
These were the reactions to the clip:
- The clip has now received 230,000 views – making it by far the largest clip of Escape from Tarkov in the last 30 days.
- The clip has received 26,700 upvotes on reddit/livestreamfails. This is usually a tough community that holds nothing sacred. But the clip has moved many. The life story of “Bob”, that he streams from a bunker because it’s the only way to provide for his family, impresses many.
People say it breaks their hearts to see it. It’s a “damn nightmare”.
He writes that he fled with his wife and daughters to a village with a friendly family of strangers who served them a home-cooked meal. He is overwhelmed by the love they are shown.
The streamer now wants to stay where he is and try to help on site with the Red Cross and make a difference.
He has also been back on air at Twitch. His viewer numbers have multiplied tenfold compared to his last stream.
The Russian Escape from Tarkov also has connections to the war in Ukraine as a game:
Shooter Escape from Tarkov is too realistic – In-game market heavily affected by Ukraine war
The title image comes from a YouTube video by the streamer.
Especially hard: At the time the clip went around the world, no one knew what would happen to the streamer after the stream ended. He had not been on air for days.
Our expertise at MeinMMO is in gaming. Anyone who wants to learn more about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is advised to consult official sources or news magazines:
– Ukraine live blog (via Zeit)
– War in Ukraine: Belarusian troops reportedly invade Ukraine (via nzz)

Important note: If you are struggling with dark thoughts due to the current situation: You are not alone. Please seek help. For example, through telephone counseling at 0800/111 0 111 or the online counseling, where you can also use a chat. This is free and applies nationwide.How is the streamer doing today? Bob has shared his recent days with his family through Twitter and Instagram. Apparently, everything has gone well. Although still in Ukraine, they are “closer to the border”: He shares images of his children playing with a dog.

Trailer for the PS5 version and Xbox Series X version of Grand Theft Auto V
We embed the only trailer from Rockstar Games for the new version of GTA 5 and GTA Online here:
Mood after the trailer: After YouTube’s changes, it’s hard to tell how the trailer is received in the community now. However, just one day after the release on September 10, there were about 12,500 likes against 21,000 dislikes with 346,000 views.
- In the meantime, there are about 37,000 likes with almost 3.2 million views on the trailer on PlayStation’s YouTube channel
- and about 65,000 likes on the trailer with 3.8 million views on Rockstar Games’ YouTube channel (as of January 12, 2022)
Players have already expressed criticism regarding the release, stating that the graphics hardly differ from the PS4 version. Many comments say that the video is disappointing.
3 different graphic modes on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S
These are the modes: You can choose between three graphic modes on the new story version of Grand Theft Auto V.
- Fidelity Mode – Here you get the best graphics with a target of 30 FPS. In this mode, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X support native 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled. The Xbox Series S supports a upscaled 4K resolution.
- Performance Mode – Here you likely play the smoothest with a target of 60 FPS. The PS5 and the Xbox Series X support an upscaled 4K resolution. The Xbox Series S uses 1080p.
- Performance RT Mode – This mode is only available for PS5 and Xbox Series X. It is a mix of fidelity and performance, providing an upscaled 4K resolution with a target of 60 FPS.

Additionally, there is a completely new tutorial in GTA Online. Players who are new to GTA Online can choose one of four criminal paths directly in the Career Builder: Biker, Executive, Nightclub Owner, or Arms Smuggler. These are all criminal paths that already exist in current GTA Online. Rockstar Games makes it easier for new players to get established and earn a lot of money quickly. But returning players can also create a new character and then use the Career Builder.
The new auto shop Hao’s Special Works is also part of the improvements for GTA Online. You can find it at the LS Car Meet. There you can performance-tune five new and five existing vehicles that “fully utilize the stronger console hardware.” How exactly this will show in the performance of the vehicles is unclear.
Hao’s workshop: New in GTA Online with the new versions is “Hao’s Special Works.” Here you should get the best tuning for your vehicles. There will also be new race classes where modified vehicles compete. Additionally, there will be a weekly rotation of time trials, along with a premium test drive where you can try out the new modified vehicles.
This is what Rockstar Games says: The new versions are supposed to bring technical and graphical improvements. There will also be performance boosts for selected vehicles in GTA Online. How exactly the vehicles will change is unclear.
Rockstar Games postponed the release of the new version to further polish the game and give it the final touches.
Appropriately for the release, GTA Online will also be available in March as a standalone version for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There is still no concrete release date for this. It is only clear that the standalone version will be free for PS5 three months after its release. You do not need the base version of GTA 5 to play GTA Online.
For PC players: The improvements for GTA Online will likely be received by PC players just like the versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. No further details are known yet.
Character transfer
Can I transfer characters from PS4 and Xbox One? Yes. Players coming from PS4 and Xbox One can transfer their story progress from GTAV and their character and game progress from GTA Online once to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Update from March 4: From today, you can start transferring your story progress by uploading a save file to the Rockstar Games Social Club.
How does this work? Open GTA V on your current console and go to the “Game” tab in the pause menu. There, use the option to upload your save file. You can only save one save file per platform. You can then download it for up to 90 days.
You can also bring your progress from GTA Online to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. You just need to start the game on the new console. You will then take all characters, your GTA Dollars, progress, stats, vehicles, properties, weapons, clothing, and player-created jobs with you.

„Trick“ in Destiny 2 is ruthlessly exploited for loot and reputation – Bungie intervenes
In Destiny 2, it has become a hobby for players to find methods in the game to exploit bugs ruthlessly. What is called an exploit in other games is euphemistically referred to as “Cheese” in Destiny: An exploit in the new expansion “Destiny 2: The Witch Queen” has been circulating on YouTube since 24.02. and has been ruthlessly exploited to farm loot and reputation.
What is Cheese? Destiny has a long tradition of players figuring out how to exploit bugs in the game to fill their pockets with minimal effort, and Bungie eventually finds out and – much too late – does something about it:
- Legendary is the “Loot Cave,” where players farmed mobs at a spawn point that seemed to come infinitely as long as no one took a step too far forward.
- Later, tricks to kill strong bosses without them being able to defend themselves spread continuously. Notoriously, there was an exploit where a player had to pull the LAN cable, causing a boss to freeze and be easily slaughtered.
- These exploits spread rapidly through certain YouTube channels within a few days. The downside of such exploits is that players finish Destiny 2 too quickly and then impatiently wait for more content.
Everything you need to know about Destiny 2: The Witch Queen – in 2 minutes Just 2 days after the release of the expansion, the trick went viral
This was the latest exploit: It’s about the new Throne World in Destiny 2: Witch Queen. There is a possibility to farm chests to gain reputation and items.
On 24.02., just 2 days after the release of Witch Queen, the YouTuber KackisHD published a detailed guide on how to exploit this trick to the maximum. KackisHD is known for such videos where “INSANE” is often in the title.
This is what the trick did:
- Normally, players should find only a few of these chests.
- However, due to the trick, it was possible to reset certain zones repeatedly and ruthlessly exploit the loot route by zipping through the zones like an acrobat.
- Thus, players could maximize their reputation in the Throne World and grab many items in a short time.
As one knows from Destiny 2, other content creators also had the idea to spread the trick in their own variations.
Just the video from KackisHD has over 218,000 views and enthusiastic comments.
“Destiny 2 Finch Farm” is such a popular keyword that countless videos from various content creators can be found on it. German YouTubers also like to pick up such guides a few days later.
Typically, levelling the Throne World rank with the new NPC vendor Fynch goes significantly slower. Overall, there are 30 ranks in the Throne World, and for each rank, you need 1000 reputation points.
- Opening chests grants you +20 to your Throne World rank with Fynch.
- Daily bounties grant +50 rank points.
- Additional bounties from Fynch grant +20 rank points.
- Completing a Lost Sector gives +70 rank points.
- Repeating the campaign nets +125 rank points.
- “Altars of Reflection” and Urquell runs also grant +125 rank points.
- Public events grant +130 rank points.
However, due to the chest trick, which granted +200 reputation points each time, players were already finished levelling their rank in a very short time.
We at MeinMMO generally refrain from publishing such exploits with “how-to” guides. But this has never significantly limited the spread of such tricks.
After about a week, Bungie reacts and simply disables everything
This is how Bungie reacts: They fixed it in a hotfix yesterday after a few days delay. They completely shut down the chest because it was “being opened significantly faster” than intended for reputation gain.
What else Bungie tackled in the hotfix, you can read here:

Iron Trials are online – Rules & Tips for the hardest Battle Royale of CoD Warzone
The “Iron Trials” are back in Call of Duty: Warzone – this time on the small map Rebirth Island. The rules are tougher, the fights longer, and MeinMMO shows you rules and tips for the hardest game mode in Warzone.
With the playlist update on March 3, the Iron Trials returned to Call of Duty: Warzone. The mode was already available for a few weeks on the old map Verdansk ’84 and was very popular there.
Players have higher health, headshots with sniper weapons are less effective, no free loadouts – those who want to survive here need “iron” nerves and must adapt to the new rules.
MeinMMO shows you here the modified rules and gives tips on what you should pay attention to compared to the normal battle royale:
More on the topicNew to CoD Warzone? This map is small, fast, and perfect for beginners
CoD Warzone: Iron Trials – Rules
The Iron Trials take place on Rebirth Island and can be played as “duos”. The mode will remain in the playlist until March 17 at 7 PM.
The basic rules correspond to a normal battle royale in Warzone, including Gulag and shrinking play area.
However, there are significant adjustments beyond the basic rules that change the game dynamics and combat:
- Match time and play area circle
- Compared to normal Rebirth Island, the circles last longer and the overall playtime has increased.
- Loadouts
- There are no free loadouts – if you want your weapons, you have to buy the box yourself.
- Vehicles
- There are only ATVs (quads).
- Buy station increased prices
- Armor bundle: 2,000
- Gas mask: 4,000
- Cluster: 4,000
- Precision airstrike: 4,500
- Self-revive: 5,000
- Drone: 6,000
- Loadout: 10,000
- Specialist bonus: 30,000
- Cash
- Instead of keeping 20%, killed operators keep 30% of the cash.
- Base health
- Instead of 100, you have 250 health.
- Healing starts after 7 seconds instead of 5.
- Per second, you heal 40 health instead of 120.
- Start equipment
- Magnum and sawtooth (melee).
- Loot pool
- Ground and crate loot significantly adjusted.
- Normal (gray) weapons
- Normal weapons already have an attachment – usually a larger magazine.
- Epic (purple) and Legendary (orange) weapons
- High-tier weapons are more difficult to find.
- Killstreaks
- Are much rarer to find.
- Cash spawns
- Large piles of cash are significantly rarer.
- Field upgrades
- No “Dead Silence”, no “Special Ammunition”.
- Sniper rifles
- Headshots are only lethal within 30 meters.
- Stun grenades
- The stun lasts only half as long.
- Stims
- Healing is slowed down by 50%.
- If you take damage, you only have normal health regeneration.
The adjustments result in a higher overall time-to-kill – even with sniper rifles and headshots. Movement, accuracy, stamina – while you have a better chance of surviving a short firefight, you must also put more pressure on your opponents.
CoD Warzone: Iron Trials Tips
In addition to the rules, we also want to give you a few small tips for your first rounds in the Iron Trials on Rebirth Island.
You will find here a selection of strong weapons and what you should pay attention to with your firearms. Additionally, recommendations for perks and a few thoughts on playstyle.
Weapons – Large magazines with substantial damage
Stable and accurate weapons are even more important in the Iron Trials than in the normal modes. You need to keep your enemies under fire longer, and the time-to-kill at range often exceeds one second.
So look for guns with large magazines, high damage per shot, and strong stability. However, you will have to make more compromises because something is always missing.
We have selected a strong selection for you:
- Primary
- Vanguard: Bren / MG42
- Cold War: Stoner / AK-47
- CoD MW: PKM / Bruen
- Secondary
- Vanguard: PPSh / Owen Gun
- Cold War: AK-74u / Bullfrog
- CoD MW: Bizon / MP7
Currently, Vanguard weapons are very popular and strong in Warzone. It’s best to choose one of the newer weapons. However, you can also succeed with the old CoD weapons.
More on the topicWhat is “control” in CoD Warzone and what types of recoil are there?
Perks – Focus on healing and reconnaissance
Due to the large amount of health points and the long time before regeneration starts, the perk “Fixer” becomes central, while “Ghost” plays almost no role in the current meta:
- Blue: Fixer / KRD
- Red: Overkill / Fill Up / Points Friend
- Yellow: Eager / Tracker
If you acquire an expensive loadout, you should always go for “Overkill” to have 2 adjusted weapons in the game. If you find a strong ground loot weapon, feel free to use “Points Friend” – it grants you more of the scarce cash upon mission completions.
For the yellow perk, “Eager” is very popular. The boost when switching weapons feels very pleasant. However, since enemies can often flee, “Tracker” can also be beneficial for you.
Playstyle – Easier to flee, harder to kill
Higher time-to-kill: Unless you receive a sniper headshot from 30 meters away, your high health points almost always allow you to react to gunfire.
Players with good movement are clearly at an advantage here, and the use of cover is extremely important. Overall, the pace of fights decreases, leading to prolonged engagements.
Therefore, be a bit more patient, coordinate more with your duo partner, and stay together as much as possible. Together, you have 800 health points including armor.
More on the topicWhat is mobility in CoD Warzone and why is it so important?
Less cash: Discuss beforehand what you want to buy with the scarce cash. Solo runs during shopping trips can be a significant disadvantage.
Weaker sniper weapons: Be more cautious during your advances, but not in terms of reconnaissance. Look over cover often and be aware of where the enemy is.
In the Iron Trials, you need to be much less afraid that a sniper will take you out of the match immediately.
Conversely: Plan your sniper shots better. Use a ping to check how far you are from an enemy beforehand. If the enemy is 40 meters away – try to get closer to 30 meters.
More on the topicCoD Warzone: The best weapons with setups – Meta in Mid-Season 5 / October 2022
No free loadouts: The free loadouts on Rebirth Island have always been a mixed bag – they often land too far away to be accessed safely.
In the Iron Trials, however, your own weapons make a huge difference, especially at range. Be stingy, save for the loadout, or grab weapons from fallen enemies.
Whatever you do: Make sure to find a stable weapon with a large magazine for your match.
The Iron Trials are considered a kind of hard or ranked mode in Warzone. Those who survive here can pat themselves on the back – and even receive a special calling card.
If you have any tips for the trials, feel free to share them with us in the comments.

WoW streamer Asmongold finds new raid too difficult, prefers to play Elden Ring
Asmongold has ventured into the latest WoW raid – but it was too difficult for him. He prefers to play Elden Ring instead, which seems to be more enjoyable.
In World of Warcraft, the first part of the raid “Mausoleum of the First” has been available for a few days. Many players are flocking into the raid on normal and heroic difficulty, which rewards a controversial cinematic at the end. However, some groups are struggling to get far – as the raid is exceptionally tough.
A similar fate befalls the streamer Asmongold. The raid apparently proved to be too challenging and not relevant enough for him, so he preferred to play Elden Ring.
Career and life of Asmongold in 3 minutes – What makes him special? Who is Asmongold? Asmongold was for a long time the biggest WoW streamer overall, but also always a great critic of the game. In recent months, he has dedicated himself to many other games, including Final Fantasy XIV, Lost Ark or even Elden Ring.
What happened? Coinciding with the launch of the raid “Mausoleum of the First”, Asmongold ventured into the raid on normal difficulty. However, the raid evening was rather bumpy. After several desperate attempts at the boss Halondrus, Asmongold’s motivation hit a low point. Like his chat, he preferred to play Elden Ring instead of continuing with World of Warcraft.
He explained:
If you want to hear the honest truth: I hate raiding. I really hate raiding. I hate having to rely on other people, and I hate that these people have to rely on me. I like to play for myself or in a small group. I hate it when a ‘Longshot’ [random player name in his group] dies, and […] then it’s just over. Okay, great. I didn’t do anything wrong, but I still have to do it again. And then you run all the way back to the boss, and everyone has to buff again.
[…] It has always been like this, and it didn’t bother me before. I just lose my patience for it immediately.
Asmongold then ended the WoW session for the evening and instead played Elden Ring, a game he apparently enjoys more at the moment.
The next day, Asmongold clarified in another video that he is not satisfied with the difficulty of the raid either.
I believe that WoW raids have simply become too difficult for the average player, it’s just too much.
[…] Again, I can do this, that’s fine. I’ve done all the Mythic fights up to Battle for Azeroth. Really, it’s not that I can’t do this stuff; it’s more that I don’t want to.
With that, Asmongold refers to the fact that he primarily does not want to invest the time that high-difficulty raids require. Because in World of Warcraft, most bosses require a lot of practice until tactics are internalized and refined, and every member of the group can play the fights flawlessly – in addition to the necessary performance, be it for DPS or healing.
The Mausoleum of the First proves to be challenging. However, another problem for Asmongold is the lack of motivation. Gear no longer entices him since he knows that he will soon lose it again:
I believe that’s really another problem with the game; it doesn’t interest me at all whether I get new gear because I know it will just be replaced by something I find in the open world in the next patch.
Will the raid remain this hard? Blizzard has already made some nerfs in the past few days, and more are sure to follow. However, there is also the certainty that all characters will become even stronger in the upcoming weeks. There will be new tier sets with strong bonuses, and soon everyone can wear two legendary items simultaneously. That should significantly improve the performance of all characters, whether DPS, healer, or tank, and make currently seemingly insurmountable obstacles manageable.
Have you mastered the raid yet? Or do you see it like Asmongold, having no desire right now, or find the mausoleum too difficult?

FIFA 22: You absolutely need the new card from Mukhtar in your Bundesliga team
Currently, there is a really strong special card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team that plays a magnificent role in the CAM position and offers incredible stats. We show you the new card of Hany Mukhtar.
What kind of card is this? Hany Mukhtar is a former Bundesliga player who was under contract with Hertha BSC from 2012 to 2014 but did not make his breakthrough in the German top tier. He currently plays for Nashville SC in the USA and impresses with fantastic performances.
EA has now given the German attacking player a Squad Foundations card, and it’s really something special and relatively inexpensive.
This is why Mukhtar’s special card is so strong
This is what the card can do: The new special card of Hany Mukhtar is a CAM that every FUT player could wish for. He is really fast, strong in finishing, has outstanding dribbling stats (99 agility and 99 balance), as well as a physique that allows him to take on strong defenders.
Additionally, he has 4-star skill moves and 5-star weak foot, enhancing his already strong shooting stats significantly. If you apply the “Marksman chemistry style”, you get an absolutely dangerous CAM with incredible dribbling values and a strong physique, which only a few attacking players possess.
Source: futbin Many teams, however, might not find Mukhtar fitting due to his association with the MLS, but FUT players with Bundesliga teams are in luck. Thanks to his German nationality, Mukhtar should fit well into teams with Bundesliga players.
This is how expensive Mukhtar is: To include Mukhtar in your team, you need to complete a SBC (Squad Building Challenge) that costs about 55,000 coins. A real bargain, considering the extremely strong stats.
Is this card worth it? If Hany Mukhtar fits in your team, you should definitely get him. It’s rare to find such a good attacking midfielder for such a price and with such excellent stats. With this card, goals, assists, and strong dribbling should be guaranteed.
What do you think of the new special card of Hany Mukhtar? Are you bringing him into your team? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

Dying Light 2: Locations of all safes with codes – Here you can find strong loot
As in its predecessor, you can also discover safes in Dying Light 2, which contain rare resources and more. MeinMMO reveals where you can find the safes and which combinations you need to open them.
Update, March 4, 2022: We have added new safes and codes. Thanks to all community members for the help!
What are safes? You can find the small lockers scattered all over the world of Dying Light 2. In them, you discover useful and rare items such as inhibitors or even powerful throwing weapons like grenades.
If you are directly looking for inhibitors, you can find their locations in our guide: How to find inhibitor containers and improve your strength and stamina.
Safes can also contain collectibles such as tape recordings. Most safes can be discovered during a quest by taking a small detour. However, some are simply hidden in buildings. To open them, you first need the appropriate code.
More on the topicA player has apparently found the location of Dying Light 2 – Here is his evidence
Where can I find the safes? There are several locations on the map where safes are located, both in Old Villedor and in the Central Loop. You will always find them in houses, usually quite obviously on desks, which are often slightly off to the side.
All locations can be found here on the map:
All locations of the safes. Blank map via Gamesradar Keep in mind that you usually need to enter one of the shown houses. If you don’t find anything right away, use your survival sense and look for containers nearby. The entrances are not always on the street, but may also be on roofs or require you to climb through windows.
List of all combinations for the safes in Dying Light 2
How do I find the codes? If you want to solve it yourself, you can usually find the clues to the combinations close by.
Talk to NPCs or examine your surroundings closely, then you usually find clues or even the codes directly. Alternatively, you can find here the codes for every known safe so far:

If more safes and combinations are found, we will of course update the list here immediately.
Everything you need to know about the new survival game Dying Light 2 – with gameplay How do I enter the code? The safes are equipped with rotary locks, which means they have a different mechanism than you might know from combination locks or lockpicks. You need to turn the rotary lock in one direction and set it to the individual numbers.
Each number must be set one after the other and then confirmed. The order of input does not matter. If you have entered the correct combination, you can open the safe and take out its contents.
It is likely that more secrets and possibly additional safes will come to Dying Light 2 in the future. The developers have already released a roadmap for the next 5 years:

Destiny 2 soon ends hours of grind and locks important weapons and mods for the raid
The new TWaB from Destiny 2 has been released, and players can look forward to hard facts about the new raid as well as positive announcements regarding existing issues. We will show you what Bungie has communicated.
What has been released? On the evening from Thursday to Friday, Bungie usually releases their highly anticipated TWaB. This blog post contains a lot of new information about what the development team is working on, what will be revised next, and what players can expect.
New information about the raid, as well as many adjustments regarding activities and crafting, has now been predicted. We will show them all to you.
Better loot drop for the Urquell
New activity with issues What was the problem? Players complained that a certain weapon did not drop in the 6-player activity. They farmed for hours, but not a single copy of the automatic rifle “Event” dropped. Players protested and said that something is wrong with the drop rate. Therefore, Bungie looked into it and announced soon adjustments.
What will be changed? Bungie acknowledged that the drop rate was not quite right and is scheduling a new patch on Thursday, March 10, 2022.
There, the drop chance for standard or deep sight weapons will be significantly increased. You will also receive the increased chance to obtain Ascendant alloys in the master version of the Urquell.
Adjustments for fairness in the new raid
New raid – Oath of the Student When does the raid start? The new raid “Oath of the Student” starts at 7 PM on March 5, 2022. In order to ensure a certain fairness, Bungie is adjusting some things in the game.
What has been adjusted? The following weapons, armor, and mods have been locked for Day One:
- Weapons
- IKELOS_SMG_V1.0.2 – Legendary submachine gun
- Imperial Needle – Legendary bow
- Great Overture – Exotic machine gun
- The Wardcliff Coil – Exotic rocket launcher
- Armor
- Wyrm God’s Touch – Exotic Titan gauntlets
- Wanderer’s Greaves – Exotic Titan leg armor
- Mods
- Suppressive Glave
Furthermore, every player must have a light level of at least 1,530 to successfully complete every phase of the raid. Your artifact will support you up to the cap of 1,530. Artifact levels above the cap will not be added.
What else has been announced? Bungie points out that they are closely monitoring Gambit. They see the feedback and have three focuses in mind that might be addressed in future updates:
- Use of heavy weapons
- The frequency of invasions
- Ancient phases (The hit points)
Bungie is still busy gathering feedback, and possibly adjustments will only take effect later. What do you think? Do you think it’s good that Bungie is locking the listed weapons for the Day One raid? Let us know!

How you can play Elden Ring smoother on the PS5 and Xbox Series X
Elden Ring offers poor performance on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on Steam. With some tricks, you can improve the performance. MeinMMO explains what you can do and what you need to consider.
Even before the release, the system requirements of Elden Ring unsettled many users. And indeed, the new game from developer “From Software” has abysmal performance on many devices. The performance is sometimes so bad that even the developers have commented on the state of Elden Ring.
The first, important Day One patch for Elden Ring only partially improved the situation on PC and PS5, and many users still complained about poor performance and a heavily fluctuating framerate.
But now there are two small tricks that you can use to noticeably improve performance at least on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. MeinMMO explains what you need to do.
On PS5, you’ll get more FPS with the PS4 version
Here’s what you can do on PS5: If you want stable 60 FPS on PS5, you need to install the PS4 version. This may sound paradoxical at first, but it gives you significantly better performance. This is explained by the YouTube channel “Digital Foundry” in its video.
While the PS5 version struggles with severe framedrops, the PS4 version runs on the PS5 with a stable framerate.
What’s the downside? The biggest drawback is that you cannot transfer your progress from the PS5 to the PS4 version. This means that if you’ve already started on PS5 and now switch to the PS4 version for better performance, you’ll have to start over.
On Xbox Series X, you don’t have to start over
What works on Xbox Series X? On the Xbox Series X, you can enable a small feature called “VRR” to significantly improve or at least stabilize your framerate. On the Xbox Series X, the variable refresh rate (VRR) is used over HDMI.
Here’s how to proceed: To do this, go to the settings of your Xbox Series X and navigate to “Video modes.” The following options should be activated:
- Dolby Vision should be enabled
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) should be enabled
- Low Latency Mode should also be activated
Finally, you should check via your TV or monitor whether VRR is enabled on your device. Usually, it’s enough to have AMD FreeSync enabled.
Monitor for PS5 and Xbox: If you don’t have a suitable monitor for your PS5 or Xbox Series X|S yet, take a look at our buying guide. Here we not only showcase suitable models but also tell you what to look for when purchasing:

Fortnite: When does Season 2 start in Chapter 3 and when does Season 1 end?
Here we will show you when Season 1 in Chapter 3 of Fortnite ends and when Season 2 starts.
What’s happening in Fortnite? On December 5th Season 1 in Chapter 3 of Fortnite started. Chapter 2 ended with the whole map being flipped over and players flocking to the new map everywhere. But soon, the current season of Chapter 3 will end.
We summarize here when the next season begins and what we know about it.
When does Season 1 in Chapter 3 end?
This is known: In the game, Fortnite indicates that Season 1 in Chapter 3 runs until March 19. March 19 is a Saturday.
However, there is also a chance that Season 1 may end on March 22. That would be a Tuesday. Until recently, this date was still on the Fortnite website.
You still have time until around March 19 to quickly level up your Battle Pass with our tips.
Since Epic is still keeping quiet about the new season, players are passing the time in what might be the last hours of Season 1 with their own teasers:
When does Season 2 in Chapter 3 start?
This is how it has been so far: Typically, a new season starts immediately after the end of an old season. We therefore expect that Season 1 will end on March 19 and Season 2 of Chapter 3 will start on March 20, 2022. That would then be a Sunday.
New seasons in Fortnite usually start on a Tuesday. However, the first season in Chapter 3 started on a Sunday. It is quite possible that the next part will also begin on a Sunday.
Expect that there will be downtime between the seasons when the game will not be accessible. A multi-day downtime like with the Black Hole is not to be expected here, as it is not the start of a new chapter, but “just” a new season within a chapter.
What content does Season 2 Chapter 3 bring? Leaks
This is known so far: There is currently no official information about what content will be included in the new season. However, data miners already have an idea. In the following lines, we will discuss leaks regarding Season 2. If you want to be surprised, then better go to one of the following articles:
This has been found: Data miner Hypex already showed a major find regarding Season 2 on Twitter back in December 2021. He found new characters that seem to be related to The Origin & The Sisters. These are the remaining characters still missing from the cast of “The Seven”.
Some members of the community also assume that there could be a larger conflict between The Seven and The Imagined Order. Both sides are currently fighting for control over the Fortnite island.
This possible conflict would also fit the tank vehicles that have already been found in the code. These are vehicles for two people (one driver and one passenger).
This is what the tank vehicles look like in the game However, the function of these tanks is unclear. With the drill, it seems that you can work into the ground or through walls. But there are currently no details on this.
There is therefore much potential for the story to become really exciting in Season 2. What content would you be most looking forward to? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments.

You can easily farm runes in Elden Ring by sparing a half-dead giant dragon
In Elden Ring runes are a central part of character progression. That’s why many players are interested in locations where they can farm them. A particularly good spot can be found in the east of the game world, near a gigantic dragon. However, you must not kill it.
Runes are the experience points and currency in Elden Ring. You can use them to improve your attributes or purchase all kinds of items from NPCs. Therefore, they are especially important and many players are looking for places where they can effectively farm runes.
A particularly effective spot is located east of the starting area Limgrave, in the neighboring region Caelid. There you can collect thousands of runes in a short time.
Everything you need to know about Elden Ring – in 2 minutes Sparing the giant dragon and killing its minions brings around quite a few runes
This is how you can farm runes there: Sooner or later you will encounter a gigantic dragon that has probably crashed. It lies motionless in the world and at first glance appears to be dead.
It has surely seen better days, but as soon as you approach, the dragon awakens. It can only move its head. The dragon then emits a roar that inflicts a debuff on your attack and defense.
In addition, several smaller dragon zombies awaken around it. These dragons are your actual targets. Because to kill the gigantic dragon, you must first eliminate its minions.
- Each dragon has a lot of hit points but only a limited selection of attacks. However, these are particularly strong, so you must definitely block or evade them.
- Otherwise, the dragons are not a big challenge, and each one gives you a few thousand runes.
- Always leave the last dragon alive and return to the Site of Grace.
- Now the dragons respawn, and you can start the whole thing over again.
If you kill all except for the last zombie dragon, you should collect a good amount of runes.
What happens if I kill them all? Then the giant dragon also dies and does not return in this playthrough. So you can only farm runes there again in New Game Plus.
It’s hard to say whether killing the dragon has any further impact. But currently, it doesn’t seem like the dragon has any connection to a possible quest or NPC.
If you kill it, you additionally receive around 25,000 runes. In total, there are over 100,000 runes to be obtained, especially if you also use the item Golden Finger. However, the death of the giant dragon “kills” this farming method as well.
If you have trouble with the smaller dragons, here are a few quick tips for the fight:
- Avoid getting hit if possible, especially when you have few hit points left. Also, use a shield in case of emergency to block a hit.
- Land heavy charged attacks. Sooner or later, you can provoke the moment for a critical attack. You’ll notice this when the dragons fall over and one of their eyes reveals a weak spot by glowing orange.
- Pull the dragons slowly and individually away from the others. You don’t want to fight multiple at the same time. Fortunately, the dragons don’t seem to have particularly good eyesight or hearing, so it shouldn’t be a problem to take them out one by one.
- Preferably fight on foot, as you cannot block attacks while on your horse.
- Watch out for its stomp attacks when you should be attacking its legs.
You can of course also attack from ranged combat and not take the risk in melee. However, some just prefer huge, brutal weapons. There is even one, that resembles a pizza cutter and looks quite strange.
The farming route is located in the east of Caelid
Where can I find the dragon? There are two possible routes. The first and easiest is to travel directly north of Caelid through a teleporter and ride south from there.
You will find the dragon southwest of the large tree that can be seen on the map:
Here you can see two possible paths to the Fort Faroth. The dragon is gigantic and cannot be missed. Right behind the dragon is also the Fort Faroth.
There you will find a Site of Grace on the other side at the edge of the chasm. This way, you don’t have to go far to repeatedly run the route.
In Caelid, you will encounter many annoying enemies against which one item can be useful:
More on the topicA simple item keeps the most annoying opponents of Elden Ring away
If you still have trouble with this method, we have a more relaxing method for you in our guide to rune farming.
The spot is also located in Caelid, but all the way to the north. There you can simply work through a series of smaller enemies with your horse. However, this is not quite as effective.
What do you think of this method? Have you discovered it as well? Do you use something like this, or do you prefer to level up “normally”?
Besides rune farming, players are also concerned with another major topic: They argue about the “right” playstyle in Elden Ring: “Magic is Easy Mode”

LoL announces systemic changes to the meta to solve a major problem
In League of Legends , Riot Games has now outlined update 12.6, which is set to arrive on the live servers on March 30. The patch will tackle one of the biggest issues currently plaguing League of Legends: healing is too strong, especially through lifesteal. There will be nerfs for many items. A popular rune will be completely removed from LoL.
What is a current issue in LoL’s meta? LoL expert Doublelift already explained in October 2021 what the meta problem in League of Legends is:
- There is too much healing in LoL
- Because there is so much healing, champs need to deal an extreme amount of damage for anyone to be able to secure a kill
- This leads to players “falling from 100 to 0 very quickly,” but also recovering from “almost 0 to 100 very fast” – it’s like health bar ping-pong
According to Doublelift, this “ridiculous healing,” particularly from lifesteal items, defines the meta of LoL.
More on the topicExpert explains that a role in LoL is so bad that only psychopaths enjoy playing it
How is Riot Games addressing this in patch 12.6? Riot has introduced a whole series of nerfs for powerful lifesteal items.
- Lifesteal is consistently reduced from 10% to 8% on many items, including Vampire Scepter, Shieldbow, and Bork.
- For the “Blood-Thirster,” an iconic weapon, lifesteal will drop from 20% to 15%.
LoL removes strong rune with omnivamp
This is probably the most important change: A problematic rune is being completely removed from the game by Riot Games. The rune “Ravenous Hunter” grants the player 6% omnivamp at 5 stacks. Omnivamp is a particularly strong form of lifesteal.
As Dotesports knows, the rune was so strong that it was used by many players.
Instead, a rune is set to be introduced that promises gold when you take down an opposing champion for the first time.
Today the pre-season 2022 starts in LoL – Here are the most important innovations in the video Tanks with a lot of lifesteal should not deal a lot of damage as well
This is what Riot says about the changes: On reddit , an LoL developer explains the change:
- In general, there should be a cost to equipping strong “sustain” items, meaning the ability to survive longer and heal back up.
- Those who can deal a lot of damage must be prepared to fall quickly as well.
- Those who want to play as a tank with a lot of lifesteal should not also be able to deal a lot of damage.
The changes brought by the patch should be seen as a “re-evaluation” of the value of “sustain.”
How are the changes being received? The general direction of the change is well-received, as healing in LoL is viewed critically overall. The ability to fully heal from a wave of minions through enormous lifesteal is seen as a problem by some.
However, some users say: the changes mainly affect ADCs, but they are not the problem, rather tanks with high health pools.
Right now, the patch is only on the test server, so several changes may still occur before it goes live at the end of March.
One champion illustrates the current problem of LoL well:

Guild Wars 2: All 54 Legendary Weapons and How to Obtain Them
The legendary weapons (Legendarys) in Guild Wars 2 are the strongest and most interesting weapons in the game. In this guide, we at MeinMMO reveal how you can obtain all three generations of Legendarys.
What are legendary weapons? The legendary weapons have the best stats in the game, along with the ascended weapons. However, they have two additional special features:
- On one hand, each weapon has a unique skin with its own footprints
- On the other hand, you can change the stats and sigils on the weapon at any time according to your wishes
How do you obtain legendary weapons? This varies greatly. Each weapon type has a legendary weapon in the base game for which you can either level crafting or pay a lot of gold in the trading post. The greatsword got a total of 4 skins.
Additionally, each legendary weapon has a skin tied to a special achievement that was introduced with the Heart of Thorns expansion.
In this guide, we present both options for obtaining legendary weapons, including those from the latest expansion End of Dragons.
More on the topicGuild Wars 2: How to get the Siege Turtle, the new mount from End of Dragons
[toc]
The 21 legendary weapons of the first generation – The Base Game
Which legendary weapons are there in Generation 1? In the first generation, there are these 21 Legendarys:
- Lightning – Sword
- The Predator – Rifle
- The Beer Council – Mace
- The Bifröst – Staff
- The Minnesinger – Focus
- The Moloch – Hammer
- The Dreamer – Shortbow
- The Flame Seeker’s Prophecy – Focus
- Darkness – Greatsword
- Sunrise – Greatsword
- Infinity – Greatsword (Created from Darkness + Sunrise)
- Forestfang – Axe
- Howler – Warhorn
- Kamohoali’i Kotaki – Spear
- Blaster – Pistol
- Kraitkin – Trident
- Kudzu – Longbow
- Meteorlogikus – Scepter
- Rage – Harpoon Gun
- Rodgort – Torch
- Incinerator – Dagger
You can either craft these or buy them directly for gold from the trading post.
This is always the same in crafting the legendary weapons of Generation 1
In principle, you need the following four items for each legendary weapon:
- The Precursor – a specific named exotic weapon
- A gift of the weapon, whose materials always depend on the profession of the weapon (more on this with each weapon).
- The corresponding professions of the weapons at level 400 (e.g. Hunter and Leatherworker for the bow)
- The Gift of Mastery
- The Gift of Destiny
You place these four items in the Mystic Forge, which you can find in Lion’s Arch, for example. After that, you will receive the legendary weapon there.
How do I get the Precursor? You can get the Precursor from random drops from enemies, by combining 4 rare or exotic weapons in the Mystic Forge (purely by chance) and in the trading post for gold.
Since Heart of Thorns, there is also a special achievement through which you can obtain each Precursor once. However, often crafting it at the end of the achievement is more expensive than buying it directly from the trading post. So, the quests are only worthwhile for people who really want it and enjoy chasing achievements.
What is the Gift of Mastery and how do I get it? You craft the Gift of Mastery in the Mystic Forge by combining the following four items:
- 250 Obsidian Shards. You can get them at the following places:
- For 2,100 Karma at Taktikerin Todesschreiter at the Balthazar Temple (the temple must be conquered)
- From traders of Living World Season 3 or 4 for the currencies Unleashed Magic or Fleeting Magic
- From bandit chests in the Silverwastes
- In the guild hall for guild commendations
- For 15 fractal relics and 24 silver in the Fractal lobby
- 1 Bloodstone Shard
- You get it for 200 Spirit Shards from Miyani, the NPC at the Mystic Forge
- 1 Gift of Exploration
- Explore the entire old world of Tyria (base game) once
- 1x Gift of Battle
- Through the corresponding reward path in WvW.
The Gift of Battle can be obtained through the corresponding reward path in WvW. What is the Gift of Destiny and how do I get it? You craft the Gift of Destiny in the Mystic Forge by merging the following 4 items:
- 250 Ectoplasmic Balls
- 77 Mystic Clover
- 1 Gift of Power, consisting of:
- 250 Terrible Fang
- 250 Armored Scales
- 250 Ancient Bones
- 250 Terrible Claws
- Gift of Magic, consisting of:
- 250 Vials of Powerful Blood
- 250 Piles of Crystalline Dust
- 250 Elaborate Totems
- 250 Powerful Poison Bags
The most annoying part about this gift is the 77 Mystic Clover. You need a lot of money and luck. This is because the clover is bound to you and cannot be traded. You can only obtain it in large quantities through the Mystic Forge by placing the following 4 items in it:
- 1x Obsidian Shard
- 1x Mystic Coin
- 1x Ectoplasmic Ball
- 6x Stone of Wisdom, which you can buy for spirit shards from Miyani at the Mystic Forge
However, you always have only a 33% chance for Clover. In the other 67% of cases, you usually just get materials back. Among other things, you also get the 250 T6 materials that you need anyway. So make sure to get the Clover first.
The 250 T6 materials in the form of Blood, Bones, etc. can be obtained most easily through Laurel or alternatively in the trading post. The Ectoplasmic Balls are also quite cheap in the trading post or alternatively for recycling yellow and exotic gear.
The Icy Rune Stones: For each legendary weapon, there is a special gift that you need to craft. But this gift always includes 100 Icy Rune Stones. You can obtain the Rune Stones in the area of Icecliff Summit, north of Hoelbrak. They cost 1 gold per piece.

Dead by Daylight: Mean pig killer goes “afk”, takes everyone out
A killer in Dead by Daylight can kill everyone if he simply stops playing. The survivors had no chance of winning.
Dead by Daylight is at its core an exciting horror game, but occasionally matches take such absurd turns that you can’t help but shake your head with a grin. This recently happened in a game where all 4 survivors died simultaneously – without the killer moving. The players had no chance against the Pig.
What happened? In the Dead by Daylight subreddit, player NaNiBy posted a short clip showing the infamous end for him and his teammates. They are up against Amanda Young from the SAW series – better known as the “Pig”. All 4 survivors have an inverted bear trap on their heads and the timer is ominously close to running out. Yet, no one is able to remove their bear trap – because the Pig has positioned itself right in front of the saving box and is waiting there so that no one can search the box, as if it were afk.
The cruel end: All 4 survivors die simultaneously from the bear traps – something that is extremely rare.
How does this work? The inverted bear trap from the killer “Pig” has several components. Its primary purpose is to slow down the game and prevent survivors from working on generators – death from this trap is supposed to happen only rarely. When placed on the head, the trap does nothing at first. Only when the next generator is completely repaired does the trap activate and a timer begins to run.
The survivors must now search multiple boxes, as only one of them contains the key that allows them to remove the trap.
The survivors do not know, however, which box contains their key – as this is determined randomly each time. The killer does not know this either. So if the killer wants to employ such a “tactic,” he simply has to guess and choose a box.
What is the likelihood of this happening? Quite low. The probability that the key for all survivors is in the same box is already low. But the chance that not only all keys are in the same box, but that the killer also guesses correctly and blocks the exact right box, is even smaller – it is about 0.39%.
In addition, the killer must also use a very rare addon for this strategy so that all survivors start with a bear trap on their heads.
Community reacts enthusiastically: This clip is well received in the DbD community. More than 8,700 upvotes in less than 24 hours is quite rare in this subreddit. The comments are mostly amused.
As solin88 writes:
“That’s remarkably ‘in character’ for Amanda. No game, just victims.”
The player whiplash308 comments amusingly:
“Damn, a skill problem with you four, you were clearly outplayed by the killer. /s”
Have you also had such an encounter with a Pig in Dead by Daylight? Or are you glad to have been spared from such strategies so far?

New Action MMORPG released in 2021 on Steam – Has lost more than 97% of its players
The MMORPG Elyon will be released on October 20 on Steam and has been seen as the successor to TERA . After all, the same development studio worked on it. However, while over 15,000 players logged in simultaneously at launch, today it barely reaches the mark of 400 – and thus fewer than TERA itself. Moreover, there is now bad news beyond the player counts.
What kind of game is this? Elyon is a Free2Play MMORPG that immerses you in a steampunk world. Here, you can choose from now 7 different classes to complete quests and explore the world.
- The highlight of the MMORPG is the action-packed combat system, which resembles a mix of TERA and Black Desert.
- Additionally, it features a special skill system that allows you to completely change a skill to match your play style.
- In the endgame, you can run dungeons and record yourself on leaderboards or participate in PvP. This takes place in the open world and in massive 100v100v100 battles.
However, despite the good combat system and some fresh ideas with the skills, Elyon could not establish itself. Following the news of the past weeks and the current player numbers, it seems likely that the MMORPG could be shut down in 2022.
The new MMORPG Elyon explained in 2 minutes Elyon struggles with criticism and weak player counts
How was the launch of Elyon? Even before the release, there was criticism of the MMORPG. On one hand, the shop offered some strong bonuses, including XP scrolls, attribute boxes, and two buffs that provide bonuses like higher drop rates.
On the other hand, the MMORPG felt soulless. We at MeinMMO also criticized this in our preview report:
More on the topicThe new MMORPG Elyon will not be a flop like Bless, but also not a huge hit
At launch, the MMORPG recorded “only” 15,500 simultaneous players, placing it far behind New World, which had just been released a few weeks earlier. That game hit over 900,000 simultaneous players on Steam at its peak.
The reviews were also more negative. Only 48% of reviews on Steam were positive at release.
Where does Elyon stand today? Elyon has received several updates in recent months, including the new class Archer (via YouTube), a Battle Pass, and new events for the Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day.
However, the changes did not bring about a turnaround. In the last 24 hours, only 428 players were online at peak times. That is only about 2.6% of the players who were there at launch. The developers are already responding by merging the two European servers into one.
The player numbers of Elyon from release to today. In January, there was a brief spike when the new class Archer was released (via SteamDB). Moreover, they have now communicated that support for the Spanish language will be disabled. This applies to both news on the website and translations in-game (via Elyon). However, support for German, French, and English will be maintained for now.
Elyon could die as early as 2022
What does the future of the game look like? Elyon has been running a bit longer in Korea, but it has not achieved great success there either. Already four months after release, the MMORPG fell out of the top 50 of the online gaming charts and merged all servers into one in July 2021.
Meanwhile, TERA, an MMORPG from the same developer, has more players on Steam (via SteamDB). However, TERA was released 11 years ago and has its own clients for the EU and NA versions. Thus, the total player count of TERA is likely significantly higher than that of Elyon.
We expected Elyon to face problems upon release. It is no coincidence that the game made it to the list of MMOs that we expect to die in 2022:
I predict: These 6 MMOs will die in 2022

Pokémon GO shows image with new Pokémon from Gen 7 – Are they coming soon?

- As we’ve seen with the releases of other generations, not all new Pokémon come to the game at once, but are released gradually.
- On March 2, the Pokémon GO team shared an image featuring unreleased Pokémon. The community believes these are next on the release schedule.
We show you here the Pokémon in question.
Release of Gen 7 – What’s Coming Next?
This is what Niantic says: In a tweet, the Pokémon GO team writes: “Alola, Trainers. More Pokémon, found for the first time in the Alola region, are now appearing in the world of Pokémon GO. We can only guess what types of Pokémon will appear in the Alola season and beyond!”
They also shared the following graphic:
Can you recognize the new Pokémon from the Alola region? What can be recognized? The graphic shows many Pokémon from the Alola region, including the shadows of two Trainers. Among them are Alola Pokémon like Exeggutor, which can already be caught in Pokémon GO. But also unreleased Pokémon like Crabrawler can be seen in the image.
You can see:
- Rowlet (Already released)
- Litten (Already released)
- Kahili (Already released)
- Scorbunny (Already released)
- Alolan Exeggutor (Already released)
- Minior (Already released)
- Curelei (Already released)
- Sandyghast (Unreleased)
- Shiny Fish (Unreleased)
- Crabrawler (Unreleased)
- Lusardin (Unreleased)
- Gufa (Unreleased)
- Solgaleo (Unreleased)
- Lunala (Unreleased)
On reddit and Twitter, Trainers speculate about an imminent release of some of these Pokémon. Reddit user 2kNoob11 suspects that Shiny Fish might appear in the announced Color Festival in the game: “Shiny Fish is very colorful.”
The Color Festival starts on March 15 in Pokémon GO. In our overview of all March events, you can find out what else is happening in the coming weeks.
Do you have any favorites from the seventh generation that you want to see soon in Pokémon GO? Niantic has already announced that we will likely find more new Pokémon during the Alola season. With the upcoming events, there are many opportunities to release exciting Pokémon.

An absolutely ridiculous weapon in Elden Ring slices your enemies as if they were pizza
Sometimes it is not enough to just kill your opponents. You also have to look good while doing it. In Elden Ring, you do this best with a pizza cutter. Well, probably more like a hellish pizza cutter, but the shape is unmistakable.
What kind of weapon is this? Ghiza’s Wheel is a colossal weapon in Elden Ring that scales with strength and dexterity. The weapon is shaped like a pizza cutter: you hold it by the long shaft and at the top is a blade with teeth – similar to Whirligig Saw from Bloodborne.
The blade at the top can be made to spin with the right attacks, making it a kind of circular saw – or rather a pizza cutter. It may look a bit silly, but it’s extremely useful.
To wield it, you need 28 strength and 18 dexterity, which is why the rag is especially suitable for strength builds. Despite its rather poor scaling (D each), Ghiza’s Wheel is still worth it because of its special effect.
How strong is Ghiza’s Wheel? The weapon’s attacks already deal significant damage. However, if you activate the saw function, you can build up a bleed on the opponent that grows almost endlessly.
This ability makes Ghiza’s Wheel especially useful against large enemies like dragons, which you would otherwise have to chew through for a long time. The wheel can’t kill bosses in 2 hits, but it can take out annoying enemies quite easily.
If you want to use the pizza cutter but have chosen the wrong attributes, you can simply redistribute them. In the guide, we explain to you how to find Larval Tears and redistribute attribute points.
Everything you need to know about Elden Ring – in 2 minutes How to Obtain Ghiza’s Wheel
To get the weapon, you basically just need to get to Volcano Manor. The path there is, however, strenuous and demands a lot from you. If you are not kidnapped, you will receive an invitation as follows:
- talk to an NPC east of the fire at Scenic Isle in Liurnia of the Lake
- accept the quest and go to the bandit at Broilpawn Shack, just northwest
- either buy the amulet from the bandit or kill him – for that, you will also receive additional, unique weapons
- bring back the amulet and you will receive an invitation, but you first have to “prove” yourself
- get the first half of the Dectus Medallion at Fort Haight in the east of Limgrave
- the second half is located at Fort Faroth far to the east of Caelid
- there are extremely strong enemies here – if you’re having trouble, get help or use magic
- bring the complete medallion to the Grand Lift of Dectus far to the north of Liurnia
- talk behind the door with the NPC who gave you the quest earlier and who is waiting for you there
You will then be teleported to the manor, where you simply have to follow the stairs up to the dining hall. There you will find a corpse. Loot it, and you will be attacked by a phantom: Inquisitor Ghiza. Kill him, and you will receive his wheel as a reward.
The YouTuber RageGamingVideos shows you in a video how the whole procedure works and how the weapon plays:
With Ghiza’s Wheel, you now have a powerful weapon in hand that has already helped many players with particularly annoying bosses. Plus, the pizza cutter looks amusing and can certainly cause confusion in PvP – even if it may not be suitable for particularly sneaky tactics:

- TheViice can’t believe it: “What kind of ouch? That’s such a luxury problem. You should be more grateful that you can earn so much money instead of wanting more and more.”
- Elias doesn’t understand: “I don’t get how one would rather forgo this money than unregister from this country and live somewhere else. Pure comfort zone to stay here.”
- Geko jokes: “Brother, I don’t even know how to pronounce the number.”
- Alex undercover accuses him: “Says a lot about a person’s character when he complains about taxes, but earns so much only because the state has paid for several detoxifications and withdrawals for him. All of this during times of Corona and threats of a nuclear war … the bubble is real.”
However, the fans are not the first to come up with the idea that the streamer would have more benefits living in another country.
MontanaBlack himself has already thought about moving to Malta in the past to escape the high taxes and the gambling ban on Twitch.

Streamer collects donations – Banned by Twitch for moving a box
The Twitch streamer Lisa “STPeach” Vannatta (28) raised donations for a good cause. During the stream, she was frequently pointed out by her viewers about a box that was prominently in the picture. The shifting of this box earned her a ban from Twitch.
Who is the streamer?
- STPeach, also known as Lisa Peachy, has recently been streaming mainly in the Just Chatting category. When she plays, she chooses games like Dark Souls or League of Legends.
- The streamer has an average of 1,000 viewers during her broadcasts and has over 1 million followers on Twitch.
- Additionally, she operates an Instagram account with 1.8 million followers and a TikTok account with 707,600 followers and 6.9 million likes. She also has a YouTube channel, where she uploads VLOGs very infrequently.
- Recently, STPeach raised over $10,000 in a livestream for children and families in need, which, however, led to her ban.
The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion Twitch streamer STPeach moves box and violates guidelines
Why was the streamer banned? In the donation stream, STPeach wore a rather revealing outfit, which suggested what it might look like from behind.
In her stream, there was a blue, eye-catching box that viewers repeatedly referenced. Whether this happened intentionally, as they wanted a view of the entire outfit from all angles, is unclear.
However, at some point, STPeach stood up and pushed the box out of the frame (via Livestreamfails.com). “Okay, I’m just going to move the box since everyone is talking about it,” she said, while being seen from behind and revealing her entire backside.
By doing exactly that, the streamer violated Twitch’s guidelines, which do not allow overly revealing outfits. She earned herself a ban.
This is how STPeach reacted to the ban: “Banned from Twitch. Next time I will make sure to bring a hot tub. At least the kids get their $10,000,” she tweeted.
With this, she is referencing the hot tub category on Twitch, where streamers regularly present themselves in revealing outfits, in bikinis. Previously, female streamers have complained about Twitch’s double standards.
How long STPeach was banned from Twitch is unknown, but it was not a permanent ban. It could only be a matter of a few hours or days before the streamer can go live again.
Update from March 4: STPeach was unbanned after one day and can continue her Twitch streams as usual.
