In Destiny 2, the armors with high base totals are highly sought-after items. They determine what your Guardian has overall. Besides the distribution of individual skill attributes, the higher the base total, the better. But where can you find this strongest gear in Destiny 2 and what exactly are the highest base totals? MeinMMO will tell you.
Every week, at the Weekly Reset, a new hunt for top-tier gear begins in Destiny 2. Here, players hunt not only for power levels but also for armor pieces with the highest total values. The right distribution of individual skill attributes, such as Mobility, Resilience, or Intellect, is chosen by players depending on their class and personal playstyle. The optimal distribution of skill attributes varies for each class and is partly a personal decision.
Basically, one should know about armors: All legendary armor drops have values with a total of at least 44 and a maximum of 68 points. Exotic armor can even reach 70 as a base value.
These “Geomag Stabilizers” have a base value of 68 – but it can get even better.
There are also exceptions: Exotics before Shadowkeep are an exception. They can drop with a base total of 71. This is because they were brought over from the old armor system, when Bungie introduced Armor 2.0 in August 2019. Two examples of this are the Exotics “Transversive Steps” or “Aeon Souls Gauntlets”.
With the knowledge of the current maximum base values for armors, every Destiny 2 player can easily recognize and classify a good armor drop.
All armor pieces with a base total below 60 can almost always be dismantled
For armor drops with a base total above 65, it is worth checking the skill attributes
The really good gear has base totals over 66
Exotic armors can drop with the highest base totals
More is not possible in Destiny 2: With a complete set of legendary armor pieces at 68 total value (without mods, aspects, and fragments) and a 70/71 exotic in the loadout, a player in Destiny 2 has reached the maximum. More is not possible.
If the distribution of skill attributes based on personal preferences fits with these armor pieces, this is the absolute best that one understands as a high-end loadout in Destiny 2.
Rare offers from Ada1. Warlock chest piece with a solid base value of 61 and good skill attributes.
Top Stats Armor from Challenging Activities
Sometimes the vendors in Destiny 2 offer really good gear with a base total over 60. Therefore, it is worth visiting regularly. However, this happens rarely and is more of an exception. Most players get their high-quality armors from very specific activities. Those who play these regularly have optimal chances.
On reddit, Destiny 2 players have compiled a ranking of these activities, from which they have most frequently received legendary armor pieces or exotics with very high base totals, beyond 66.
1) From the current raid “The Vault of Glass”
2) From Nightfall strikes at Grandmaster difficulty and Pinnacle
3) In the dungeons “Prophecy” or “Grasp of Avarice”
4) In the Iron Banner (from the 4 loot chests)
5) From the Trials of Osiris
6) In rare cases, also from Prime Engrams
Skill Attributes Can Be Influenced
Now, however, players no longer need to rely solely on pure luck. The skill distribution can be slightly influenced with economy mods for your ghost. For example, acquired armor pieces have a higher probability of dropping with a minimum value of 10 on the desired skill attribute.
There is also the possibility to influence the distribution of skills, such as Recovery or Strength, through a targeted Level 3 focusing of Umbral Engrams. Particularly the armor from the Season of the Splicer always had excellent values beyond 60 and is considered a tip. Why this is not the case with the armor from the current Season 15 is known only to Bungie.
Raid Gear Has a Weekly Skill Focus
The raid at the Grandmaster difficulty level offers players the best option to acquire gear with the desired skill attributes. Each week, a different skill attribute rotates in the raid, which then guarantees players at least 20 points in the respectively focused value. This also applies to the armor from the loot chest at the end of the raid.
The Grandmaster raid, therefore, rewards players not only with the particularly sought-after time-lost weapons but also with a strong option for skill attributes on raid armor.
So, if you prioritize certain attributes on your armor, you have the greatest chances here. Of course, this activity is one of the hardest in all of Destiny 2, but it promises the most rewarding loot.
Disadvantage: The rotation of skills is random from week to week, and it is not guaranteed that the base total will also drop with the maximum value.
Are you already satisfied with the values of your armor or are you still farming? Can you perhaps even shine with a 71 exotic and a complete legendary 68 armor set? And do you think that from December 2021, players will have to re-farm and assemble their armor attributes due to the major balance abilities update?

The multiplayer of Halo Infinite launched surprisingly early. Since then, it has enjoyed great popularity on Steam and Xbox. MeinMMO tells you which weapons dominate in the matches and why they are so important and powerful.
One of those peculiarities is that there is no clearly best weapon in Halo Infinite. Each of the currently 22 weapons in the game has its own niche. They thus operate under a rock-paper-scissors principle: Every gun is very strong against one type of weapon, but very weak against another.
Thus, declaring one weapon the “best weapon” in Halo is impractical. There is also no best hand gesture in rock-paper-scissors. Instead, we tell you what the most important weapons in Halo Infinite are and what makes them so good.
What makes this weapon so strong? When Halo professionals dream of a weapon, it’s the BR75 battle rifle. Since Halo 2, this weapon has impressed with its power, precision, and reliability. This is no different in Halo Infinite. That’s why the weapon is part of the standard loadout in the ranked arena.
The BR75 fires in bursts of 3 shots. Thanks to plenty of ammunition in the magazine and the zoom function, the BR75 is a danger at most distances. You should always take this weapon with you if you have the chance.
How do you use the weapon correctly? The BR75 kills with 3 body shots and 1 head shot. Like most weapons in the game, the BR75 only does increased damage to headshots after a shield is broken. Therefore, you should always aim for the body as long as your opponent still has a shield. A precise headshot afterwards will take down the opponent in no time.
Pro
High, reliable damage
Strong at medium ranges
Good at longer ranges
Lots of shots in the magazine
Contra
Only fires in bursts
Enemy hits interrupt your zoom
Not the best weapon in close combat
MK50 Sidekick – The most important weapon in the game
The MK50 Sidekick is so important because it is always by your side at the beginning
What makes this weapon so strong? This little weapon is perhaps the most important gun in the game. It may not be the strongest in terms of firepower, but you will get an outsized number of kills with this weapon. This is because you always start with it. Additionally, it kills with just one headshot after a shield is broken.
Because the Sidekick is always perfectly precise with the first shot, it can also do so at longer distances.
How do you use the weapon correctly? Since you always start with this weapon, you should pull it out whenever, for example, you have broken the opponent’s shield with the standard assault rifle. A quick headshot with the weapon is deadlier than continuing to shoot with the assault rifle.
With its light zoom feature, it is also helpful at distances. However, be careful not to shoot too quickly with the pistol at distance – it becomes very imprecise with a high fire rate.
Do not use the Skewer reactively, but rather plan ahead: Aim where you expect the opponent to be any moment; not where they already are.
Pro
Every hit is a one-shot kill
Strong against vehicles
Subjectively very fun
Contra
Limited ammunition
Slow reloading
Very hard to hit with the weapon
Zoom effect can be interrupted by damage
Zooming makes you visible to opponents
S7 Sniper Rifle – The potentially best weapon in the game
The sniper rifle is the most dangerous weapon in the game in the right hands
What makes this weapon so strong? The S7 sniper rifle can single-handedly kill an entire team multiple times. In normal 4vs4 matches, one magazine is enough to take down every opponent once. The only requirement is that you hit the head: The S7 always kills with a headshot – even opponents with full shields.
Because you are perfectly precise even while moving and firing from the hip, this sniper rifle is an enormous threat. It is one of the most important and best weapons in the game.
How do you use the weapon correctly? There is only one rule for the S7: Hit with your shots. Whoever plays this weapon well can keep a team from playing for minutes. However, if the player has poor aim, they waste incredibly important potential.
Pro
Headshots are always a kill
2 body shots are always a kill
Hitscan: Bullets hit the enemy exactly where you aim.
High fire rate
4 shots in the magazine
Precise even when firing from the hip or while moving
Contra
Zoom effect can be interrupted by damage
Zooming makes you visible to opponents
Requires very good aim
M41 SPNKR – Perfect against large groups
With the M41 SPNKR, you’ll rejoice at every group of opponents
What makes this weapon so strong? The rocket launcher works in Halo Infinite just as you would expect: It deals substantial explosive damage within a certain radius. This can kill multiple opponents with one shot. It is also one of the strongest counters against vehicles, however, the M41 in Halo Infinite has no lock-on feature.
How do you use the weapon correctly? Don’t aim directly at the opponent, but at their feet. The area damage is enough to kill enemies. Therefore, it is unnecessarily complicated to aim for the body of an opponent.
But be careful not to hit your own feet – suicides happen very easily with the weapon. This gives the opponent the chance to pick up this powerful weapon without opposition.
Pro
High explosive damage is very dangerous for enemies…
2 rockets can be fired before needing to reload
Very strong against grouped opponents
Very strong against vehicles
Contra
…and very dangerous for the rocket launcher user themselves
Explosive radius slightly smaller than one might think
Players with the rocket launcher are ruthlessly hunted
Each of these 8 weapons is currently among the most important in the multiplayer of Halo Infinite. Which one is your favorite? Do you have another favorite weapon that doesn’t appear in this list? And how are you coping with the game’s pace? Let us know in the comments.
If you are still unsure whether Halo Infinite is even for you, we tell you here who should check out the multiplayer:
Despite its reliability, you should still replace the MK50 Sidekick with better distance weapons as soon as possible – like the BR75.
Pro
Perfectly precise with the first shot
Kills opponents without a shield with a headshot
Strong at distance
Part of every loadout
Contra
Becomes very imprecise at a high fire rate
Many better alternatives for the same task
Shock Rifle – The special weapon that isn’t
The Shock Rifle is one of the rare weapons that can kill with one hit
What makes this weapon so strong? The Shock Rifle, unlike the S7 Sniper Rifle, is not a special weapon, but it always kills with a headshot. This makes it extremely dangerous in the right hands.
Also strong is the fact that hits deal an electric shock to all other opponents in close proximity. This not only deals additional damage: You can also tell where other opponents are located by the electrical effects.
How do you use the weapon correctly? You should use this weapon just like the S7 Sniper Rifle: Stay at a distance, aim for heads, and try not to get hit.
Pro
Always kills with a headshot
Precise even when firing from the hip
Hits cause area damage
Area damage gives info on where other opponents are
Is not a special weapon, so easier to find
Contra
Zoom effect can be interrupted by damage
Zooming makes you visible to opponents
Very difficult to use
Sentinel Beam – A deadly beam for specific situations
A deadly beam that Overwatch fans should find familiar
What makes this weapon so strong? The Sentinel Beam is reminiscent of the Lightning Gun from Quake or Zarya’s weapon from Overwatch. You deal a lot of damage with a continuous laser beam, but it has a limited range. As long as you can aim well with this weapon, you dominate your opponents.
How do you use the weapon correctly? With this weapon, it is very important to fire at your opponent from the perfect distance. If you are too far away, your laser doesn’t have enough range; if you are too close, it becomes hard to keep your crosshair on the opponent.
So try to be as exact as possible in how far away from the opponent you are as long as your laser beam is. This way, you will be frighteningly strong with this weapon.
Pro
Lots of damage
Low TTK
Lots of ammunition
Contra
Useless at distance
Requires very good aim
Laser makes you very visible and easy to find
Mangler – The community’s dark horse
This deadly revolver is currently a dark horse
What makes this weapon so strong? This weapon does not have the highest fire rate. Additionally, the bullets are projectiles. This makes it harder to use than hitscan weapons, which hit the opponent immediately after firing. Nevertheless, this brute revolver is currently becoming a dark horse in the community.
The weapon kills faster than most others in the game: With two body shots, this weapon breaks a shield, and a subsequent headshot kills. It is thus a monster for precise players at medium distances.
The Mangler is also very strong at close ranges: it kills as quickly as the shotgun, and its blades deal more melee damage. A shot followed by a melee attack can take down an opponent immediately.
How do you use the weapon correctly? With the Mangler, you can take on 2 – 3 opponents without having to worry about ammunition. Try to shoot opponents primarily from medium range. Use the higher melee damage when they come too close.
Pro
Lots of damage
Low TTK
Lots of ammunition
Blades deal more melee damage
Kills with one shot followed by a melee attack
Contra
Requires good aim
Slow fire rate
Bullets are projectiles

Skewer – Pure power, difficult handling
The Skewer is perhaps the most fun weapon in the game
What makes this weapon so strong? The Skewer is a mix of a rocket launcher and a sniper. The harpoon you fire with this weapon flies slowly and heavily through the air but kills with every hit – whether you hit the head or the little toe. Vehicles also get destroyed after 1 – 2 hits with the Skewer.
This incredible strength is balanced by its clumsiness: It is hard to hit opponents with the Skewer, reload times are long, and ammunition is severely limited.
How do you use the weapon correctly? Although the weapon has a zoom function, it should rarely be used as a traditional sniper. It is easiest to hit opponents who are jumping – shoot where they will land.
Do not use the Skewer reactively, but rather plan ahead: Aim where you expect the opponent to be any moment; not where they already are.
Pro
Every hit is a one-shot kill
Strong against vehicles
Subjectively very fun
Contra
Limited ammunition
Slow reloading
Very hard to hit with the weapon
Zoom effect can be interrupted by damage
Zooming makes you visible to opponents

If you are still unsure whether Halo Infinite is even for you, we tell you here who should check out the multiplayer:
On November 8, the new map of Call of Duty: Warzone goes live, and the weapons from CoD: Vanguard are coming to the Battle Royale. MeinMMO shows you 5 weapons that you should level up to be optimally prepared for the Vanguard transition.
Call of Duty: Warzone is getting a big influx of new weapons soon, and if you play Vanguard, you can already level up the guns to Max level and unlock all attachments. We show 5 weapons that could also work well in Warzone.
Meta-Score: We categorize the 5 weapons into 3 Meta-Score levels to assess what place the weapons may occupy in Warzone:
Meta-Score 1: Some good Warzone characteristics – Meta entry uncertain
Meta-Score 2: Strong characteristics for Warzone – Chance of becoming Meta
Meta-Score 3: Pretty sure Meta – will be strong in Warzone
Note: It is still not entirely clear how the Vanguard weapons will be incorporated into Warzone. It may be that there is a separate weapon balancing in Warzone and the weapons have different characteristics. However, we currently assume that the weapons will appear in their multiplayer form in Warzone.

Everything you need to know about the new map “Caldera” from CoD Warzone – In the video
Robot Assault Rifle – Meta-Score 1
Why is the weapon strong for Warzone? The fast-firing Robot is a prime example of a well-controlled assault rifle with a lot of range, making it a contender for Warzone.
In multiplayer, it resembles the M13 from Modern Warfare, which is also very strong in Warzone. However, one problem with the M13 is its 60-round magazine, which runs out of ammo quickly due to its high rate of fire. The Robot comes with a 75-round magazine and should outperform the M13.
What doubts exist? Even though damage plays a minor role for stable range rifles, the firepower of the Robot leaves much to be desired. The time-to-kill is slightly above average, which is why the Robot only receives a meta score of 1.
Time-to-Kill Close Range / Long Range – Chest Hit
Robot: 720 / 864 milliseconds
M13: 673 / 808 milliseconds
AK-47 CW: 600 / 700 milliseconds
Pro
Very high range
High rate of fire
Very good control
Contra
Low damage
MG42 Light Machine Gun – Meta-Score 1
Why is the weapon strong for Warzone? Light machine guns are range specialists in Warzone. Representing this weapon class with low recoil can drive your opponents crazy.
Long continuous fire gives your opponents hardly any breathing room, and the MG42’s 250-round magazines can be enough to suffocate enemy teams. If the MG42 works stably in Warzone, it could become one of the most annoying weapons in the game.
What doubts exist? The MG42 also has problems with damage, and it enters the second damage range already at just under 30 meters.
If the recoil is right in Warzone, the weapon has a chance for a meta upgrade – also because it does not have an “Open-Bolt-Delay” in multiplayer, which increases the time-to-kill. However, we currently see no more than a meta score of 1.
Time-to-Kill Close Range / Long Range – Chest Hit
MG42: 638 / 754 milliseconds
Bruen: 705 / 705 milliseconds
RPD: 702 / 794 milliseconds
with Open-Bolt-Delay
Pro
Gigantic magazines
Good control
Very high rate of fire
No Open-Bolt-Delay
Contra
LMG movement
Low damage
Little range
What is Open-Bolt-Delay? Some weapons have a design-related small delay when firing. It takes a few milliseconds before the weapon actually fires after pulling the trigger.
There are also some weapons in Warzone with this delay, which usually lasts around 60 milliseconds and must be added to the time-to-kill when you and your opponent start firing at the same time.
M1928 Submachine Gun – Meta-Score 2
Why is the weapon strong for Warzone? The so-called “Tommy Gun” has great potential for Warzone – almost as much as the 100-round magazine of the weapon. The SMG is easy to control, has decent range in the first damage range, and an acceptable rate of fire of 800 shots/minute.
Ultimately, however, it is the large magazine that sets the M1928 apart and allows for long close-range battles in which you lose very little time on reloading. The M1928 also performs well in terms of time-to-kill:
Time-to-Kill Close Range with Range – Chest Hit
M1928: 600 milliseconds up to about 15 meters
MAC-10: 590 milliseconds up to about 15 meters
MP5 (CW): 562 milliseconds up to 9 meters
What doubts exist? The Tommy Gun starts at a disadvantage in the time to aim down sights and plays somewhat slower than the competition. Reloading the large magazines also eats up time when you actually empty the drum.
Pro
Large magazines
Good time-to-kill
Good control
Decent range
Contra
Time to aim down sights is slightly higher (ADS)
Reload time
NZ-41 Assault Rifle – Meta-Score 2
Why is the weapon strong for Warzone? The NZ-41 has strong damage in the first damage range paired with a high range. You fight a bit more with recoil than, for example, the Robot or the BAR, but you get painful bullets for your battles.
The NZ-41 has very interesting characteristics that make it particularly exciting in fights up to 60 meters.
What doubts exist? Once the opponent is too far away, the NZ-41 loses damage significantly. Additionally, the magazine is relatively small with a maximum of 30 rounds – though the high damage per bullet makes up for it somewhat.
Nonetheless, the assault rifle has a good chance of having a nice time in Warzone:
Time-to-Kill Close Range / Long Range – Chest Hit
NZ-41: 600 / 840 milliseconds
AK-47 (CW): 600 / 700 milliseconds
EM2: 675 / 675 milliseconds
Pro
Decent control
Good range
High maximum damage
Contra
Little damage in the second damage range
Small magazine
PPSh-41 Submachine Gun Meta-Score 3
Why is the weapon strong for Warzone? If the PPSh performs in its current multiplayer form in Warzone, it will likely take on the role of the best submachine gun in Battle Royale.
Damage, range, fire rate, magazine size – this weapon has everything to clear out in Warzone and leave the current top performers behind:
Time-to-Kill Close Range with Range – Chest Hit
PPSh-41 (Van): 504 milliseconds up to 12.5 meters
OTs 9: 561 milliseconds up to 7.5 meters
MP5 (MW): 526 milliseconds up to 9 meters
What doubts exist? How the PPSh-41 performs compared to movement remains to be seen. The time to aim down sights could be slightly higher than with the competition. But currently, it looks like a new OP weapon for Warzone is emerging – Meta-Score 3.
Pro
Very high damage
71-round magazines
Decent range
High rate of fire
Contra
Time to aim down sights (ADS) slightly increased
With the adjustment of Warzone gameplay and the introduction of Vanguard graphics, there are still some questions unanswered:
What perks will be available?
Will the old and new weapons remain as they are?
Are there any differences from multiplayer?
But it won’t hurt to start leveling up the first strong weapons for Warzone in Vanguard and be ready on day one when the new weapons wreak havoc in the Battle Royale.
In the final of the eSports tournament “BLAST Premier” of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, the players of the team “Vitality” were repeatedly booed by the audience in the arena. Event caster Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill (32) had enough at some point and spoke out.
The eSports tournament “BLAST Premier” has been around since 2020, allowing professional teams in CS:GO to compete against each other in two different seasons. The seasons take place in spring and autumn, each lasting about 4 months.
In a season, there are two phases:
The group stage
The showdowns
In the group stage, 12 teams compete against each other, each consisting of 5 players. Of these, 6 teams advance to the season final. From the showdowns, another 2 groups also qualify for the season final, resulting in a total of 8 teams in the final.
Finally, the winners of the spring and autumn seasons face each other in the global final.
While the tournament usually took place in North America or Europe, this time, Denmark hosted the final of the autumn season. The audience was allowed to gather in the Royal Arena in Copenhagen and watch the eSports tournament live.
How did the semifinals go? In the semifinals of the autumn season, on November 28, these 2 teams faced each other:
Astralis from Denmark
Vitality from France
Since the team from Denmark was naturally supported by the audience from the Danish capital, they often booed the opponents from Vitality when they got a kill on Astralis (via Twitch).
When Vitality won against Astralis, the host, Alex “Machine” Richardson (28), wanted to conduct an interview with one of the players from Vitality on stage – which again led to booing from the audience.
For the final, Burchill wanted to see only Counter-Strike fans in the arena. He added:
These guys dedicate their lives to the game. They come here to entertain you and you boo them? The good thing is: We already have your money anyway. I hope you have a long line at the parking ticket machine. (…)

Burchill received support from his co-commentator and the viewers of the livestream. During the games, the stream chat repeatedly complained about the unfair audience in the Copenhagen arena.
Thus, Burchill and Richardson spoke out against the booing crowd and stood up for the team around Vitality.
Richardson had enough and directed his words towards the audience:
Shut your mouths you crazy freaks. This is Counter-Strike, we come together here for the games, people. Not for this political nonsense. Cheer for your team when they win, but also enjoy the countering and fragging. Stop being freaks.

“The good thing is: We already have your money anyway”
After the interview was conducted and the Danish team was eliminated, a mass of spectators left the arena.
Commentator and ex-CS:GO pro Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill was happy about this and spoke out once again. He has no problem with booing during a match because the favorite team might be losing. However, he demands respect once the players are being interviewed and have fairly won.
For the final, Burchill wanted to see only Counter-Strike fans in the arena. He added:

The island Seirai from Inazuma in Genshin Impact has a shrine inhabited by a nice, talking cat named “Neko.” MeinMMO tells you how to get 190 Intertwined Fates and even a useful recipe from the cat.
Intertwined Fates are mainly interesting in Genshin Impact for two reasons: banners and resin refills. This is basically the currency to obtain new characters or weapons in the gacha banners. Therefore, every Genshin player is craving free Intertwined Fates. So, this black cat, contrary to the proverb, brings luck.
How do you unlock the quests? For Neko to reward you generously, you first need to meet certain requirements:
Talk to Katheryne in the capital of Inazuma to start the world quests “Stormchaser of Seirei”
Complete the questline “Stormchaser of Seirei”
How can you get to Neko? The cat is located at the Asase Shrine on the island of Seirai. During the first quest of “Stormchaser of Seirei,” you need to visit her directly and repair her donation box.
Nearby, there is also a convenient teleporter that you can activate
How do you get Intertwined Fates from Neko? After you have completed the world quests “Stormchaser of Seirei,” you can return to Neko, who has a new series of quests ready for you. There are a total of nine, all featuring different tasks. This series is called “Neko is a Cat.”
However, you can only accept one quest per day and you must return to her every day to start the next one. Each quest gives you a reward of 20 Intertwined Fates. The last quest even gives you 30 Intertwined Fates.
On the fourth day of the quest line, in addition to the Intertwined Fates, you will receive the recipe for the dish “Delicious Revitalizing Cat Meal.” This dish allows you to restore 30% of your hit points (HP) and regenerates 790 HP every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.
What do the tasks look like? All tasks that Neko gives you should pose no problem. For example, you need to cleanse the shrine with an Anemo character, talk to other kittens, or deliver items to certain people.
Make sure to have the following items ready for the fourth quest:
12x Fish
6x Raw Meat
9x Sea Grass
3x Rice
These world quests with Neko do not appear in the Yashiro Commission at the Kamisato Estate under the Reputation Quests.
Did you already know about this quest line or have you not been to the new island yet? Do you know any other opportunities to get Intertwined Fates? Feel free to write it in the comments.
Today, on November 29, 2021, the final special raid hour with Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion will take place in Pokémon GO to conclude the Hoopa event. We at MeinMMO will show you the best counters to defeat them quickly.
What kind of raid hour is this? Those who regularly play Pokémon GO know that every Wednesday a special raid event takes place, during which you can battle legendary raid bosses in almost all arenas. During the Hoopa event, raid hours have also been occurring in recent days.
And today, on November 29, 2021, there will be another special raid hour before the Hoopa event finally ends. You will encounter Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion in level 5 raids during this time.
Raid hour with Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion – Start and best counters
Start of the raid hour: Like every raid hour, this one will also start promptly at 6:00 PM. It lasts for a full hour, ending at 7:00 PM local time. Already before the start, the dark eggs above the arenas indicate the upcoming raids.

Is the raid hour worth it today?
How many CP do Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion have when caught? After the raid, you can encounter the three legendary Pokémon in the catch screen with the following CP:
Cobalion: 1,649 CP – 1,727 CP or with cloudy or snowy weather 2,061 CP – 2,159 CP
Terrakion: 2,026 CP – 2,113 CP or with (partial) cloudiness 2,533 CP – 2,641 CP
Virizion: 1,649 CP – 1,727 CP or with sunny, clear, or cloudy weather 2,061 CP – 2,159 CP
If your monster has the maximum possible CP, it corresponds to an IV of 100%.
Are there shiny Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion? Yes, you may encounter all three in their shiny form with some luck.
Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion normal (right) and as shiny (left)
How strong are they? Among the three legendary monsters, Terrakion stands out due to its strong attack and good stamina, which makes it one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. It can also hold its own in the Master League.
Cobalion, on the other hand, can score points with its defensive stats. Due to its weaker attack, it is less suitable for raids. However, it is a solid candidate for the Master League (pvpoke.com).
Virizion also benefits from strong defense, but is somewhat weaker than Cobalion. For this reason, it is the weakest of the three legendary monsters. For raids and the PvP League, you should rely on other specimens.
Is the raid hour worth it? If you are looking for a strong attacker, you should definitely take advantage of this raid hour. Focus especially on Terrakion. But shiny hunters will also have plenty of opportunities today.
When these three monsters will return to raids is still unknown at this time. After today’s raid hour, you will encounter Cresselia in level 5 raids until December 1, 2021, at 10:00 AM local time.
Will you take part in today’s raid hour with Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion? What counters do you use? Feel free to share your thoughts here on MeinMMO in the comments and discuss with other trainers.
Imps are quite useless in World of Warcraft. But sometimes, a little Imp is all it takes to defeat the raid boss.
When thinking of demons in World of Warcraft, the annoying Fel Guards in PvP or big bosses like Sargeras or Archimonde come to mind first. Few would waste their first thought on the little Imps that Warlocks occasionally have with them. Yet these very Imps can sometimes be quite significant – and make the difference in a kill.
What happened? In the fight against the Fate Scribe Roh-Kalo, things were actually looking pretty good for the raid group. The boss was already down to a few percentage points, and it wouldn’t take much more to secure the kill. But time was running out. While the DPS characters were firing off everything they had, the Rune Circle mechanic was going off in the background. The mechanic requires players to place various runes in specific sockets. If this doesn’t happen, the entire raid will be wiped – and that’s exactly what happens.
Suddenly, all players are wiped out. Only two “Spirits of Redemption” from the priests remain – and an Imp, who keeps shooting his little fireballs at the boss. Although no player is left standing at the end, the little pet manages to secure the victory, as this short clip shows:

Why did the Imp survive? Pets like demons usually disappear immediately when their master dies. However, thanks to the Soulbinds in Shadowlands, there are some passive effects that allow players to “live on” for a few seconds after their death. For instance, Necrolords can continue to fight for a few seconds with reduced strength, while Venthyr briefly remain as stone statues that then shatter.
The Warlock had exactly such an effect, which provided the brave Imp with the necessary seconds to secure the kill for the whole raid.
More news about World of Warcraft can be found here:
It is clear that the Imp was not solely responsible for the boss being defeated in the end. After all, several DOTs and debuffs were still ticking on the boss, which ultimately led to his demise.
Nevertheless, it’s amusing to see that the whole raid lies in the dust while only the Imp continues to fight valiantly. He surely has quite a story to tell at the next family reunion in the Nether.
Have you ever had such a close boss kill where the entire raid basically died? Or are those always just legends that “the others” experience?

Just a few days apart, Battlefield 2042 and Farming Simulator 22 were released. However, it currently shows on Steam that players prefer to drive tractors rather than tanks.
This is what’s happening on Steam: Despite the many criticisms and issues, Battlefield 2042 still has tens of thousands of players on Steam. The current count is at 52,500 players in the last 24 hours (via steamcharts.com; November 29, 2021).
However, another game beats the new shooter with almost double the player count: Farming Simulator 22 boasts an impressive 94,700 players in the same timeframe. According to SteamDB, the “current players” are even more:
Battlefield 2042 has 23,646 players at 11:30 AM on November 29
Farming Simulator has 27,023 players
Although both games were released almost simultaneously, Farming Simulator is currently doing significantly better on Steam. Battlefield 2042 officially released on November 19, launching on Steam with over 100,000 players. The shooter is said to have had a better launch than its predecessor, but it lost almost 50% of its Steam players within 4 days.
Only 3 days later, on November 22, Farming Simulator 22 came out. It has managed to retain its player base without losses. You can find more on this from the colleagues at GameStar: Farming Simulator 22 is the best of its kind
Both games are also available on PlayStation and Xbox as well as through other PC platforms besides Steam. However, no statements can be made regarding player numbers here.

Everything you need to know about the new Battlefield 2042 – in 2 minutes
Over 90,000 players daily since release
Why is the simulator so popular? Farming Simulator arrives with 85% positive ratings, being classified as “very positive” on Steam. The scope is particularly well-received: from the first planting of your crops to mixing feed for livestock to processing into chocolate and more, everything is included.
Fans and veterans appreciate that the series does not make wild attempts but rather improves upon old and beloved systems. This allows the game to stay true to its core while still improving.
It’s no secret that simulators and peaceful games tend to be well-received. Even silly ideas like the Lawn Mowing Simulator have a certain fan base.
Is it because of Battlefield? The shooter, on the other hand, has attempted some new ideas such as specialists instead of classes or the Hazard Zone mode. These were immediately criticized by fans of the series.
The silent majority tends to prefer gaming over complaining or celebrating, yet Battlefield 2042 has struggled with many issues. Currently, for instance, a bug that renders smoke grenades completely useless is circulating. However, some significant bugs have already been fixed or are being addressed:
It’s normal for games to lose hype shortly after release. However, the technical state of Battlefield 2042 likely did not help maintain excitement in the long term. Other games also seize the moment to attack Battlefield’s position:
Are you looking for some useful tips to conclude Black Friday and Cyber Monday? MeinMMO presents the 4 best tips on how you could upgrade your setup.
Soon, the major deals for Black Friday, Cyber Week, and Cyber Monday will be over. We present you with a handful of options where you can save money if you want to upgrade your system.
It’s definitely worth updating your system gradually rather than spending hundreds of euros at once. In our article, we present 4 options you can consider if you’re looking for useful ideas.
Gaming Monitor with Full HD
If you’re currently looking for a second monitor for your gaming PC, you might find something on Amazon thanks to Black Friday. With the Acer Predator XB253GX, you currently get an excellent gaming monitor on sale that offers a lot of features.
The gaming monitor is among the best devices available in the Full HD range. In addition to a comprehensive set of features like plenty of ports and a USB hub, you also have the chance to dip into the world of HDR and even try out the new Windows 11 feature Auto-HDR.
The monitor is worth it for those of you who enjoy playing shooters or other games where you want high FPS numbers. Thanks to high FPS, the game not only looks good, but you also benefit from an extremely smooth display, which can give you an advantage in competitive gaming.

SSDs and Hard Drives for PC, PS4, and PS5
If you don’t have an SSD in your computer yet or need more fast storage, then Black Friday and Cyber Monday could be worth it for you. Currently, you can find several SSDs from different manufacturers on sale.
Internal M.2 SSDs are especially worthwhile for you if your motherboard offers a suitable interface for it. Currently, you pay around 70 euros on Amazon for 1 TB (as of November 29, 2021).
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
If you don’t have an interface for an M.2 SSD, you can also install internal SSDs. These offer similarly high speeds and can be easily installed in almost any system.
An internal SSD is also worthwhile for people who still game on their PlayStation 4 (PS4) and want a larger storage upgrade from the old HDD.The best SSDs you can get for your PS4 and PS5 have already been presented on MeinMMO.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
RAM
Upgrading your RAM could be particularly worthwhile if you have only 8 GB or even 4 GB installed in your computer.
8 GB of RAM should currently be the absolute minimum you have in your gaming PC. 16 GB is currently the best choice. While 32 GB is more future-proof, most of you probably don’t need that much yet.
Currently, you can find both plain black RAM and RGB RAM on sale – depending on what you prefer for your system.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Microsoft 365 Family with 1 TB Cloud Storage
Do you have an Office subscription running or are you considering purchasing one? Then Microsoft 365 Family for just under 50 euros is currently worth it. Because the family package includes not only Word with all its features but also additional features like 1TB OneDrive cloud storage.
This is especially worthwhile if you frequently and happily use cloud storage. Because currently, if you share the license with 4 other people, you pay around 10 euros for 1 TB of cloud storage per year. You currently can’t find cloud storage anywhere at this price.
Currently, you can even get 15 months of Microsoft 365 Family for 49.99 euros, including Norton Deluxe. It doesn’t matter if you share the subscription with friends, family members, or colleagues.
What’s important is that you need to be careful during activation, as Microsoft aggressively tries to convince you to continue using Office 365 at full price after one year. You can turn this off somewhat cumbersome and you should do so if you don’t want to pay 100 euros per year.
You go to the overview page office.com/myaccount
Then go to manage billing. This will take you to the activation page.
Here, select “Redeem card or code” and use the code you received from Amazon upon purchase.
Keep the “Recurring billing” option disabled.

More tips for Black Friday and Cyber Monday: If you are looking for some good ideas to conclude the big discount campaign, take a look at the following article. Here we present some insider tips for Black Friday that might be worth it for you if you don’t want to spend more than 100 euros.
New World was full of bugs at launch and still is now. Players continuously demand a “New World: A Realm Reborn” – inspired by the restart that Final Fantasy XIV underwent. MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch finds this absurd. Because New World isn’t that broken, and a new version wouldn’t change much.
What are the problems with New World? The list of problems in Amazon’s new MMO is quite long:
There were server issues and queues at launch. Now there are the first ghost servers, leading to calls for mergers.
How do players react? Especially due to the bots and gold dupes, some players are calling for a complete server reset. This would erase all progress, and everyone would start over at 0, hopefully without bugs.
Others wish that New World would be completely shut down and relaunched later with a major rework. MeinMMO reader AlexMK recently called for a “New World: A Realm Reborn”. You also see this phrase come up from time to time on Reddit.
But in my opinion, this demand is total nonsense. On the one hand, New World is not broken enough for a complete rework, and on the other hand, not much would change in a re-release.
Who is speaking here? Alexander Leitsch is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. He has spent thousands of hours in games like Guild Wars 2, ESO, or Black Desert. Since release, he has spent over 200 hours in New World, and he is also familiar with Final Fantasy XIV.
New World is not even close to being as broken as FFXIV
Is New World really that broken? New World launched with many bugs, but it has a functioning gameplay loop. You can level up, you can farm gear, and you can engage for hundreds of hours.
That was quite different with Final Fantasy XIV in version 1.0. Although I didn’t play it myself, a good friend and my colleague Irina Moritz have often reported about it.
And Final Fantasy 1.0 was missing almost everything, as these examples show:
There was no quest log in the game.
The maps were almost identically designed and also looked similar in the assets.
There were no dungeons or raids – or generally any endgame.
Quests outside of the main story were omitted.
Enemies dropped no gear or generally valuable loot.
There was no option to customize key bindings.
Jumping was not possible, and you also couldn’t fall from ledges.
The hotbars were reset when you switched jobs.
There were no official forums or community managers.
There were no shortcuts for important menu windows, such as gear, inventory, etc.
Each interaction was registered server-side first and thus was delayed by several seconds.
There was criticism of the old engine, which had massive FPS drops and graphical issues.
Additionally, there were several design decisions that many considered critical.
The fatigue system, for instance, meant you received less experience points the longer you played. After 8 hours within a week, XP was reduced. Anyone online for more than 15 hours received no experience at all. The timer was reset weekly.
The XP distribution in FFXIV 1.0.
Furthermore, you could only complete all 8 quests every 36 hours. After that, there were no more releases, and leveling consisted of grinding mobs.
You can read about all the problems of Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 in this column by Irina Moritz:
As big as the criticism of New World is, many of these drastic problems have been avoided by the developers. While endgame content is lacking, it can also be patched later without taking the servers offline for long periods.

A rework wouldn’t change much and would only anger players now
Why is the demand for a rework nonsense? New World has a very distinct style that doesn’t appeal to everyone but makes the game special. Yet this style wouldn’t change much in a rework.
The focus would still be on exploring the world, crafting, and the wars for territories. The MMO would not suddenly become a story game like SWTOR, the combat system would not suddenly adjust to tab targeting like in WoW, and the world would not suddenly become colorful like in GW2.
Because everything that would change in New World has already been changed by the developers:
They created a main quest
They introduced voice acting
They brought dungeons into the game
They made PvP in the open world optional and simultaneously created new incentives for it
These were the major changes intended to make New World accessible to the masses.
Everything that would adjust the MMO during downtime or a restart would involve fixing bugs, adjustments to the distribution of talers, and more of all the content we already have. More dungeons, more quests, more weapons, more PvP modes, more areas.
But these are all things I would consider “hotfixes” or “content patches” and not a “rework”. None of these contents would require the servers to be offline for months or years.
And a restart due to the economy is akin to using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. No one is currently completely left behind in the economy, and Amazon has at least been able to isolate and remove most of the gold. In return, the frustration among current players would be enormous.
How many players does New World have? Now, 2 months after release, there were still 177,572 peak players online (Sunday, November 28).
The player counts of New World since release (via SteamDB).
This made the MMO rank 4 in the charts on Steam. The game still has a community, and it would be destroyed if Amazon really brought a “A Realm Reborn”.
What do you think of New World right now? What do you miss most about the game?
How the developers envision the endgame of New World in the future has been explained here:
The best method to quickly gain experience points (XP) in Fortnite is the stamp cards. We at MeinMMO will show you which stamp cards are available and what you need to do to complete them.
What are stamp cards? Stamp cards were available at the beginning of Chapter 2, but in a minimized form. By completing medals, you filled your stamp card, which awarded you XP.
Now the stamp cards are the main source of XP. Each stamp card is now assigned to an NPC. If you visit them, you can start their quest to earn XP. Each completed step gives you additional XP. A stamp card has a total of 5 steps to complete it fully.
But if you have already completed the stamp card of a respective NPC, you can still start their quest again to collect more XP for your Battle Pass. However, this XP is very reduced. So think carefully about whether it’s worth farming the quests again.
These are all the stamp cards and tasks in Chapter 2 Season 8
[toc]
Here we will list all the tasks of the respective stamp cards and assign them to which NPC they belong. If you do not know the locations of the NPCs, you can select the respective stamp card on the quest tab of Fortnite. This will highlight the NPC on the map and you just need to go visit them.
This collection of tasks will be updated by us every time new stamp cards are released. So keep an eye on this post and bookmark it so you don’t miss out on any tasks.
What do you think of the new task system? Did you like the old one better or do you want to keep the new system? Let us know if you managed to get used to the change.

YouTuber Josh Strife Hayes has been making videos about MMORPGs for years. In his series “Worst MMO Ever,” he tests games that many may not be aware of to see if they are truly that bad. In the latest episode, the game Neverwinter was in the spotlight, into which he has invested thousands of hours himself.
What is the video about? Hayes typically tests new MMORPGs for his video series for 8 to 10 hours and then summarizes his opinion in 30 to 60 minutes, also integrating current Steam reviews at some point. However, the latest episode is quite special.
Because the YouTuber has played Neverwinter for many years and called it his favorite MMORPG. Hayes even originally created his YouTube channel to share guides for Neverwinter.
But now so many things about the MMORPG bother him that he can no longer recommend it in good conscience. Reasons for this include the so-called content vault and pay-to-win, which is said to have become rampant in Neverwinter.
Right from the start of the video, he says: “This video hurts me so much because Neverwinter Online was my main MMORPG for many years. Difficult years, and it helped me through that time. I was addicted to the game.”
Illogical story content and pay-to-win are the big problems
What bothers Hayes about the content? To begin with, the YouTuber shows some beautiful aspects of the game. He praises the action-packed combat system, the good introduction in the first missions, and the challenging enemies and bosses that are present right from the start.
He also praises the mounts, which offer different bonuses and a unique attack, as once unlocked, these bonuses can be mixed as desired.
Each mount offers various passive bonuses and an active ability. Once unlocked, these can be mixed together.
There are no more experience points; instead, you level up through story progression.
A new training room was introduced, which Hayes dislikes because it interrupts the game and the story.
Some old campaigns were removed, so players cannot experience them anymore.
Hayes is also bothered that some characters were replaced with the update. New players may hardly notice the issues, but those who are deeper into the story and know the old content would wonder why these changes were made in the first place.
What is the biggest criticism of Neverwinter? However, the YouTuber is most upset about the pay-to-win aspect. This is said to be enormous in Neverwinter. Hayes himself states: “In the shop, you can buy real power. I will show you how you can buy your way directly into the end game.”
At the beginning of the video, Hayes had already shown the various races in the game. Each of them offers a different bonus. Therefore, there is objectively the best race, which, however, must be paid for with Zen. The price is 3,500 Zen.
Zen can be obtained in-game and for real money. 3,500 Zen corresponds to about 28 Euros.
Additionally, you need buffs that you receive for completing various campaigns. In this context, there are campaign tokens. These immediately complete a campaign without playing, allowing you to collect the rewards. Such a completion costs 700 Zen (5.50 Euros).
Each campaign provides passive bonuses that you unlock upon completion.
There are also the following useful items in the shop:
A boost directly to max level.
Enchantments for your weapon that make it stronger.
When upgrading equipment, the material can break, but there are items in the shop to counter that.
There are companions that can be obtained in-game as well as in the shop.
The strongest mounts are available in the shop, each having its own bonuses.
Additionally, there are items that revive you on the spot before the dungeon boss generates life. This means you can theoretically defeat bosses by using real money, regardless of your skill level.
Premium membership as the cherry on top: In addition to the content in the shop, there is also a premium membership. This gives you more bonuses the more months you pay for at once.
If you purchase for 12 months upfront, you receive, among other things, +1% additional health for the entire group, more in-game currency, no penalties upon death, and access to the bank from anywhere in the world.
Currency packages are good for the seller: Another major criticism from Hayes is how Zen is sold. There is a package that offers 3,450 Zen for 27 Euros. However, for the race, you need 3,500 Zen and must either buy another package for 4.50 Euros or go directly for the more expensive version for 45 Euros.

Zen can be purchased for in-game currency, but first, 500,000 Euros need to be spent
What about the exchange of currencies? Hayes explains how the exchange of in-game currency for Zen works:
You can exchange Astral Diamonds for Zen.
Currently, there are over 65 million offers from players who want to buy Zen for Astral Diamonds.
This means that first, 65 million Zen must go to other players before you would be next in line with the newest offer. That equates to 2,742 times the most expensive Zen package in the game.
In plain terms: Other players would need to spend nearly 500,000 Euros and convert it all into diamonds before you would be next in line for the newest trade offer.
Since this is unlikely to happen in the coming weeks, you will need to spend real money for the many bonuses.
By the end of the video, Hayes appears very dejected. You can tell that he actually likes Neverwinter, but is dissatisfied with the latest decisions and especially the development of the shop. PvP in Neverwinter is reportedly quite dead because of this.
Hayes ends his video with the rating: “This review costs 3,500 Zen / out of 10.”
What do you think about Neverwinter and the shop system? Have you had a similar experience or had Neverwinter not on your radar so far? And which MMORPG has the worst shop system? Feel free to write it in the comments.
We have already looked at the shop of the upcoming game Lost Ark in beta. Here, too, there is plenty of criticism:
Battlefield 2042 has a serious bug that makes an important gadget in the game completely useless with a few simple clicks. Because without much effort, players can completely “turn off” smoke grenades in the game, rendering them worthless for their intended use. Find out here on MeinMMO what this is all about.
While the aforementioned bugs have already been addressed by the developers, new errors in the system are appearing. A particularly bad bug that renders essential features of the game useless has recently been discovered.
When a menu is opened, the particle effects of smoke grenades are suddenly disabled.

Everything you need to know about the new Battlefield 2042 – in 2 minutes
Players criticize Battlefield 2042, but there are also positive voices
This is how the bug affects gameplay: All you have to do to completely negate smoke grenades is open a specific menu in the game. As soon as you are back in the game, the particles from the smoke grenade are disabled. A reddit user discovered this.
You can see exactly how he takes out a horde of enemies and downs a few. They lie helpless on the ground, calling for their remaining comrades for help. Since they don’t want to be taken down while reviving, they follow the textbook approach and throw smoke grenades to obscure the area so they can revive their friends in peace.
Even though the bug can be easily reproduced, we advise you not to replicate it. Since it’s an obvious mistake, you might get banned for exploiting it.
This is what players are saying: The thread by Jacksfootball51 on reddit exploded and has already received 7,200 upvotes and almost 400 comments after 17 hours. These are mostly dominated by shock and disbelief:
Op3rat0rr: ‘This game is so broken, lol. It needs to be fixed immediately!’
HotSpicedChai: ‘I love this subreddit, every day I see something new about the game that doesn’t work. Almost as if it were still in alpha or beta.’
Aurkonnungr: ‘Now I finally understand why someone could give me a headshot through the smoke!’
Other users responded with gallows humor and commented that the developers hopefully won’t just disable the corresponding menu as a fix. Others defended the developers, saying that it is indeed a very bizarre bug that likely went unnoticed during playtesting.
In any case, the bug is a serious issue and should be addressed soon. To make the game better and reduce errors, the developers have already presented a roadmap.
But Jacksfootball51 simply opens a menu and suddenly all enemies previously hidden by smoke are clearly visible and an easy target for him. You can see how this looks in the game here in the video:

In Genshin Impact there are hundreds of items that you can obtain. Some are more common than others. We from MeinMMO show you the 10 rarest items and how to get them.
What is it about? There are items in the game that are quite rare to obtain. However, some are not as rare as they seem. You just have to know how and where to find them. Therefore, we list some items and tell you how you can obtain them.
This list does not include items that you currently cannot obtain or which were only available once in events. Except for the honorable mention, you can get every item without exception on any platform.
[toc]
“Dark Iron Sword”
How to obtain the item? Teleport to the lower part of the capital Liyue and keep an eye out for the snack vendor “Chen the Swift Blade”. If you talk to him, he will reward you with the dark iron sword. This is only available once in the game, so as a collector, be careful not to accidentally use it as upgrade material and activate the lock.
What does the item do? The sword increases your Elemental Mastery value, and after any reactions from Electro, it increases your attack by 20% for 12 seconds. It might be worthwhile on characters that benefit from Elemental Mastery, trigger such reactions, and for whom you do not have a more suitable sword at hand. Kazuha would be one possibility.
Ask Chen how the tiger fish sells
Artifact: Chalice with Elemental Mastery
How to obtain the item? You can obtain artifacts in various spheres. They are divided into five different categories:
Flower
Feather
Sundial
Chalice
Crown
The main stats for Flower (HP) and Feather (Attack) are the same across all artifacts. The Sundial, Chalice, and Crown can receive various bonuses as main stats. With a 2.5% chance of a chalice getting the main stat Elemental Mastery, it is considered the rarest artifact. By the way, the crown comes in close after with a 4% chance.
What does the item do? The Elemental Mastery value increases the damage of triggered reactions between elements. For example, if you apply Pyro with Hydro, a reaction occurs: “Vaporize”.
How to obtain the item? You can obtain crowns through time-limited events and offerings at the “Permafrost Tree” in the Dragonspine and the “Sacred Sakura” in Inazuma. So far, there are only 11 crowns in the game, four of which you can currently still obtain through the offerings.
What does the item do? If you want to bring a talent of your character to level 10, you are forced to use a crown. Since this item is so rare and has been distributed very little so far, you have to carefully choose your characters and their talents.
“Hunting Trap”
How to obtain the item? You can only obtain the “Hunting Trap” twice in the entire game during Razor’s story quest. You unlock it by completing Amber’s story quest and Act 3 of the main story prologue. In Razor’s quest you will eventually receive the task to collect raw meat from wild boars. You can do this either with the “Hunting Trap” or simply with your normal skills. If you do not use the hunting traps, you will keep them in your inventory after the quest. Some players keep them out of pure nostalgia.
What does the item do? With this item you can catch wild boars. They will drop more raw meat than usual if you scare them and let them run into the trap. Unfortunately, you cannot craft this item.
“Frog Pearl”
How to obtain the item? Frog pearls are obtained from gold frogs that like to roam near water or stones. These little rascals can only be found in Liyue so far. They only sit in places that lie north of the “Wangshu Inn”. If you stay at the shores there, you should soon be able to spot some. However, there are not many of them.
What does the item do? In fact, the frog pearl is one of the few items that currently has no utility for the player. Perhaps one day it can be used to craft medicine. At least, according to its description, it is said to be well-suited for that.

Boss Rewards
How to obtain the rewards? If you are able to defeat a boss for the first time outside of a quest, you have a chance at the rewards. By boss, we mean the weekly bosses:
Dvalin
Great Wolf King
The Count (Childe)
Azhdaha
It is pure luck whether you receive such an item and which one. You cannot influence this. Some players have already spent weeks trying to get the right items. The boss items and the unrefined weapons are multiple items, but they are all equally rare, which is why we count them as a single item.
Boss Items
Tail Feather, Claw and Breath of the East Wind: Dvalin
Tail, Ring and Saddle of the North Wind: Wolf King
Tusk, Demonic Garb and Soul: Childe
Horn, Branch and Scale: Azhdaha
How to obtain the items? You need to raise your world level to at least five for the Great Wolf King to drop his boss items. For the other three, you only need adventure level 40.
What do the items do? The boss items are used to level up your characters’ talents. If you want to bring a talent to level 10, you need to possess 6 of the respective item.
“Dream Solution”
How to obtain the item? In addition to fighting the weekly bosses, you can obtain a “Dream Solution” from Zhongli’s story quest. Once you have access to the bosses outside of their quest, you can obtain dream solutions.
What does the item do? At the alchemy workbench, you can use the dream solution to convert your boss items of the same category. This means that for example the “Tail Feather of the East Wind” can be changed to the Claw or the Breath of the East Wind, but not to the other available boss items.
Unrefined Weapons
How to obtain the items? If you are able to defeat a boss for the first time outside of a quest, you have a chance of obtaining the raw materials of the five weapon types. Additionally, you can occasionally get some when you upgrade the “Permafrost Tree” in the Dragonspine and the “Sacred Sakura” in Inazuma. You can also rarely obtain them as event rewards.
What do the items do? You use the unrefined weapons at the blacksmith. He can craft a weapon that belongs to the same type as the raw material.
How to obtain the items? The item “Life Energy Absorbing Dragon Tooth” is created from “Curious Tooth”, which is why we combined them as one item. You can find Curious Teeth only in Dragonspine, and there are only four of them. Moreover, you can only collect them every three days. When you pick up a tooth for the first time, it also starts a quest line. With this, you can ultimately turn the curious teeth into the item “Life Energy Absorbing Dragon Tooth” in the cave at the bones of the “Slumbering Dragon Valley”.
Tooth 1
Tooth 2
Tooth 3
Tooth 4
Talk to the glowing red source to turn “Curious Tooth” into “Life Energy Absorbing Dragon Tooth”. This is only possible if you collect all four teeth each time.
You can find the first tooth southeast at the edge of Dragonspine. It is only a few steps west of the teleport.
Using the teleport near the Cryo Hypostasis in the north, you can walk further north. The second tooth is in the middle of the larger open area, near some Fatui.
The third tooth is located on a small island in the river to the north. You can easily reach it by using the teleport located east of the “Watcher’s Ridge” sphere.
In the cave, near the skeleton bones, you will find the fourth curious tooth. It is right at the source where you can turn the teeth into dragon teeth.
What do the items do? Once you have completed the quest line and collected eight teeth, you can use them to craft the “Dragonspine Spear”. Provided you also have an unrefined polearm and have farmed 50 Starglitter Ore. All these required items make the “Dragonspine Spear” a difficult item to obtain.
“Night Jade”
How to obtain the item? Night jade can be found in mines and hidden small caves in Liyue. Additionally, Shitou sells five of the items in the capital Liyue every three days. You can find many mines that harbor this ore in Mingyun Village. Furthermore, there is also an increased occurrence of night jade on “Tianheng Mountain,” which is located west of the capital.
Many players consider night jade to be the rarest ore in the game. I subsequently went to the locations to see how much you can really obtain. During my round trip, I was able to collect about 50 night jade. Unfortunately, the ore takes two to three days to respawn.
What does the item do? Currently, Beidou and Yanfei require the ore to level up their characters. Each of them needs 168 night jade to fully level up.
Shitou is located north of the lower Liyue Teleporter

Bonus: “Sword of the Child”
How to obtain the item? Those of you who own a PlayStation will be happy: If you link your account with the PlayStation or are already playing on it, you will receive this sword as a gift. It is only available this way once and remains usable in your inventory if you switch to other devices.
What does the item do? Especially the main character benefits from the sword, as he can gain 66 points in attack when equipped with the weapon. Furthermore, it deals damage of 200% of the attack with a 50% chance when the enemy is hit with normal attacks or heavy strikes.
Have you already been able to get all the items on this list or is something still missing? Did we forget any important rare items? Are there items that you find too rarely? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
In Pokémon GO today, on November 29, there is a Spotlight Hour featuring Tanhel. We will show you when it starts and for whom the event is worthwhile.
What kind of event is this? At the end of the Mischief season, Pokémon GO started a series of Spotlight Hours that run earlier than usual. Today, on November 29, the last “early” Spotlight Hour starts.
We will show you what to expect today and how Pokémon GO will continue with events.
Spotlight Hour with Tanhel – Time and Shiny
When does it start? The early Spotlight Hour starts at 12:00 PM local time. It will then be active for one hour as usual and will end at 1:00 PM.
What bonuses are there? You will encounter Tanhel more frequently in the wild. If you light a incense, it will also attract Tanhel preferentially. However, only during the event time.
Accompanying bonuses for candies, dust, or XP, as you know them from other Spotlight Hours, are not present in these early versions. Only the Spotlight Pokémon appears more frequently.
Can you catch Shiny Tanhel? Yes, with some luck, you can also find Shiny Tanhel during today’s Spotlight Hour. The shiny form of Tanhel has been in the game since its Community Day in 2018.
A comparison of the normal and shiny forms of the Tanhel family
Is the Spotlight Hour with Tanhel worth it?
Here’s how strong it is: Tanhel evolves into Metang and eventually into Metagross. If you’ve been following our counter guides here on MeinMMO, you know that Metagross is an important Pokémon. In raids, Metagross ranks among the best attackers in Pokémon GO – as a Steel attacker, it is ideal against Ice, Rock, and Fairy.
If you enjoy participating in raids and lack strong attackers, then today’s Spotlight Hour with Tanhel is the perfect opportunity to find strong Tanhel and gather candies to eventually get strong Metagross on your team.
In PvP, Metagross can score in the Master League. While there are stronger Pokémon, Metagross is still a solid attacker there.
So you have two important reasons to participate in the Spotlight Hour today. Even if there are no bonuses for Stardust, candies, or XP for this special event.
What’s next for Pokémon GO? Trainers are eagerly waiting for Niantic to announce the events for December 2021 in Pokémon GO. However, we already know about one important event: The Community Day in December 2021 will be huge. There you will find the Pokémon from the last Community Days in the wild and in eggs.

Next Wednesday, we will be expecting the new TOTW 11 (Team of the Week) in FIFA 22. Here at MeinMMO, you can already find out which players could be coming into the new Team of the Week.
What is the Team of the Week? Every Wednesday, EA presents a new TOTW and releases it in Ultimate Team. The squad consists of 23 players who delivered strong performances over the past football weekend.
For this, they receive a spot in Team of the Week as well as improved Inform cards, which can be found in packs for one week.
These are TOTW Predictions: The TOTW Predictions are forecasts from the community. They try to guess which players could land in the Team of the Week.
They provide a good overview of who might be included in the TOTW. Potential Inform players can then be used to earn coins in the transfer market. How this works can be found out in the Trading Tips.
It is important to note, however, that these are theoretical predictions and not guarantees. The TOTW 11 next Wednesday may look different in total than the predictions suggest.
The Prediction for Team of the Week 11 in Ultimate Team
The predictions for the next Team of the Week come from the FUT site fifaultimateteam.

This is what Van Dijk’s first Inform card could look like.
Memphis Depay showed a good game against Villareal and scored a goal. We are curious if he will land in the new TOTW.

This is Arcane: With their series Arcane, which takes place in the “League of Legends” universe, the developer Riot has made a hit on Netflix. It was number 1 on Netflix in 38 countries and received an impressive score of 9.4 on IMDB.
The series revolves around the events in the gleaming city of Piltover, where technology, trade, and wealth flow together. However, the city has a dark side called Zhaun, which lies beneath Piltover and where the poor and exploited live.
As is typical for a series, you will encounter many different characters with their own motives and backgrounds. Some of them you will recognize because they have already appeared as champions in League of Legends. Others are new but are equally important to the storyline.
And while the two sisters Vi and Jinx are at the center of the action, there is a long list of other characters that you may have grown fond of over the course of the series. And that’s what interests us. What are your top 3?
Here’s how you can vote: In the poll tool below, you can vote for your favorite characters from Arcane. You can choose your personal top 3, but keep in mind that the choice cannot be undone. So think carefully about which characters get your votes.
So tell us: Which of the many characters in Arcane did you like the most? Why have they become your favorite characters? Do you find it difficult to choose, or can you immediately say which 3 characters are the best for you? Let us know in the comments.
Here’s what’s next for Arcane: After the release of the last storyline arc of the series, Riot directly announced the second season of Arcane in a teaser trailer.
There is no release date yet, but fans will probably have to wait a while for the next season. You can find all previous information in our article on the announcement:
The Twitch streamer Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is by far the largest Twitch streamer for the MMORPG New World. He is now explaining which “inevitable” problem is looming for New World if the player count remains low. Because the announced merging of servers will bring significant issues.
This is shroud:
shroud is a veteran on Twitch. He has been streaming on the platform since 2012. He was once a professional player in CS:GO but realized early on that he enjoys streaming more. He currently has 9.8 million followers – making it the fifth largest channel on Twitch overall. Even after his extremely lucrative stint on Mixer, the Canadian with Polish roots remains popular.
shroud is known as a shooter specialist: His amazing aiming skills have earned him the nickname “human aimbot.” His passion also extends beyond shooters to MMORPGs, as he loves World of Warcraft and, for some time, Amazon’s new MMORPG, New World.
Currently, shroud is by far the largest streamer for New World. He has about three times more viewer hours than the second place streamer on Twitch.
High player loss and many servers lead to server merges
What kind of problem is coming for New World? Amazon has already announced that servers will be merged for New World. Many servers were opened at release, but due to the free server transfers and the high player loss since launch, there are now “dying” servers, where there aren’t enough players to play New World as intended.
Thus, Amazon wants to start merging individual servers: This means that smaller servers will close and merge into larger servers.
If it were up to the players, Amazon couldn’t start merging the servers fast enough. Because they say: On a dying server, New World just isn’t fun anymore. The villages degrade, you can’t craft properly anymore, and the group features are also unplayable.
New World simply isn’t enjoyable without a certain number of players on a server.
We at MeinMMO have examined the question of whether New World can still be saved:

What shroud says: The Twitch streamer states that merging servers will inevitably lead to major problems. Because the economy on a small server looks very different than on a medium server. On a small server, individual players dominate the market for certain items, have no competition, and hoard thousands and thousands of materials.
If such monopolists from small servers are placed on large servers, they will take over immediately.
It does not make sense to merge several small servers with a medium server. It would be more sensible to merge all small servers and then one medium-sized with another medium-sized server.
If you take a handful of small servers, and one has thousands and thousands of materials because it has no competition, then it simply comes to a server with medium or high population and takes over.
shroud
However, shroud believes that problems will arise regardless of how it is done:
“There are just too many items. No matter what they do, someone is in trouble.”

Nevertheless, shroud believes: Amazon must merge the servers. It is an “inevitable problem.” It is still better to bite the bullet and do it than to not take action at all.
Lost Ark is a South Korean MMORPG that is set to release in Europe and North America in 2022. A YouTuber shows in a video that Amazon is making significant visual adjustments to the game for the Western audience. The female characters have more modest clothing, and many characters are said to be darker than in the versions for South Korea and Russia. There are also missing cutscenes.
What are the changes shown in the video?
The female player characters in character creation show significantly less skin in their standard selection than in the versions for Russia and South Korea.
Some characters that have a light skin tone in the other versions have dark skin tone in the Western version.
Additionally, certain cutscenes are said to be missing, which are unlocked when you build an intimate relationship with some NPCs.

What is it with the cutscenes? Lost Ark has an “Affinity” system. Over time, you can build relationships with certain characters. When you reach the highest level, you unlock a cutscene that shows the character in an intimate moment, as if you had a date with them.
According to the YouTuber, these scenes are missing in our version of Lost Ark or are heavily censored.
The YouTuber presents these images for the adjustment in the standard selection.
Amazon says: Original outfits still in the game
What does Amazon say about it? Amazon commented on the outfits a few days ago. In a statement, they said: “The original outfits have not been removed; however, they are no longer in the foreground, and additional options have been added for players.”
No statement has been made regarding the other two changes.

These “Affinity” cutscenes are said to be missing in the Western version.
Missing cutscenes are being hotly debated
What is the reaction? Hardly anyone seems to have a problem with some characters being black now. However, it’s criticized that it’s a bit simplistic — it would have been better to adjust the facial features instead of just changing the skin color.
The sensitive point for some players is primarily that cutscenes and thus content have been cut from our version of the game. They wish for a clear statement from Amazon. Currently, there is still hope that the cutscenes are simply missing in the beta but will be added in the release.
The discussions about the change in the forum have already reached almost 200 comments. It shows that it is a sensitive topic that moves some people because they oppose any intervention in a game for “political reasons.”
Others say, however: They are not bothered by such visual changes at all, and they believe Amazon should rather adjust the game according to the wishes of the players.
Handing 500,000 gold to a random player – such lovely stories happen in World of Warcraft.
When talking about the communities of MMORPGs, negative aspects often come to the forefront. Players are often toxic, abusive, and simply unfriendly – or so it is often said. However, every day a few beautiful stories occur where players receive unexpected help or simply become the target of a selfless gesture.
That’s exactly what has happened now – and it’s causing excitement in the World of Warcraft subreddit.
What happened? Reddit user Percival91 opened a thread, showing other WoW players what a lovely encounter he had in the game. In the trade chat, he asked: “I need to earn enough gold for a WoW token and have 2 days left. Is that feasible?”
The WoW token is one of the possible payment methods to pay for the monthly subscription. Those with a lot of gold buy a token from other players and receive 30 days of game time in return.
Even for experienced players, a sum of 500,000 gold in 2 days is practically impossible to achieve.
Instead of getting tips, Percival91 received a group invitation. A bit puzzled, he asks with a “yo whats up” what the reason for the invitation is.

From the short conversation, it becomes clear: someone wants to gift him the gold for the WoW token. At first, Percival91 thinks it’s a joke (“Are you pulling my leg, buddy?”), but shortly thereafter, he is enlightened.
500,000 gold changes hands, accompanied by the saying: “You are a gem, go out there and shine bright.” Percival91 replies that he usually doesn’t pay with the WoW token, but right now he simply can’t afford the game in real life. He expresses his gratitude, and then the group is disbanded.
How much is it worth? What 500,000 gold means for an individual player varies greatly. For most players, such a large amount likely means many weeks of farming. Some may never be able to accumulate such a sum in their entire WoW career.
In any case, a gift of over 500,000 gold is quite a significant gesture – especially when no return is expected. A single WoW token currently costs about 220,000 gold in America, while in Europe the price is around 325,000 gold.
This is how the community reacts: The post in the WoW subreddit has attracted a lot of attention. Over 4,300 upvotes is quite a lot, and 94% approval is also remarkable.
“What a legend.”
“Nice to see that not the whole community is broken.”
“The feelings… sometimes WoW players can be so surprising! I’m glad you can continue to play.”
Other players also share their stories of how they sometimes just helped strangers. For example, IliiiIlllIillilIl writes:
Back in MoP, I remember that I bought a couple of randoms epic flying. If someone asked me how much flying costs or where the flight master is, I just invited them into a group. Then I flew them there, gave them gold, and logged out without saying anything. That always made me feel really good, because I was sure I confused and at the same time made them happy.
Have you also experienced such beautiful encounters with unexpected gifts in World of Warcraft?
