Magnus

[Marksman Bryan]

I am uploading a video that should explain a lot of what I do in Magnus. I'll post in this thread or edit this post when it's done. Hopefully it will help some people out.

edit:




Pretty much a full run; only cut out ~4min.

Oh God, MS and Touhou crossover.

There are apparently 3 daily quests you can do from the shadow merchant which gives you 1 shadow coin each. It'd take 90 days for one equip, but you CAN get nova equips without being super retarded funded to kill Magnus.

I think some of the quests give 2 coins, seeing how i got that from two out of the three quests i did

It's possible, I think the quests are randomized each day.

EDIT: What the pineapple? There are no nova belts in the shop? Why the hell not?

You can also pay him 1.5m to change the quests.

First time gives 2 coins, subsequent completions give 1.

I just did them for the first time today and only got 1 coin each quest.

Doesn't the shop get updated when all the Tempest stuff ends?

How'd you get 90 days? Each set of daily repeatable quests allows you to get 5 3-6 coins. Each Nova equipment needs 250 coins (iirc), which adds up to 50 40 - 80 days.

If you can really pay 1.5m to reset each set of quests, then 1.5 * 50 = 75m, for a 30all+17WA/MA cape. DO WANT. The shoes are pretty damn good too. Not possible to reset.

Now I should stop trying to kill Victor and hope for a Mage cape... it was getting pretty irritating to get only bowman eq. back to killing Victor...

Just being obvious, Elite Helsium cape would need 20 days (30 million), Elite Helsium shoes would need 30 days (45 million), but the Nove cape alone covers both of them unless you plan to enhance them. If you decided to farm Tempest coins on an old class by collecting the Gale Gourd while doing other stuff, you need 56 hours.

Some/most days I get only 3 coins from all 3 quests. The dude doesn't let me reset ever, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

And Victor drops equips? Do want. EDIT: Seems like I'm too high leveled for him to drop anything. 50 runs and all I've got is meso and Rascal snowpiece.

[hadriel]

I took 350 runs to get 2 eq. Takes a good while, ya know.

Someone on top said something about paying 1.5M to reset the quests? idk I can't test it now because I'm farming coins on my phantom... which is pretty slow.

How'd you get 90 days? Each set of daily repeatable quests allows you to get 5 coins. Each Nova equipment needs 250 coins (iirc), which adds up to 50 days.

It's not always 5 coins per set of dailies. First set I did only gave 4 (2+1+1), and the following day only offered 3 coins (1+1+1). Today's set is offering me 4 coins again.

I can't even reset either =/. Don't understand it myself, some days I only get 3 just like you, some days 4, 5, 6.

[hadriel]

Nope can't reset after you've finished all your quests for the day. So I guess if you want both the Nova cape and the shoe, 500 coins means... alot of days.

I was mistaken with my estimation before, as I was under the assumption you needed 270 coins, and that you could only get 3 coins per day. Need 250 coins, and you can get up to 6 coins per day (gotta be really lucky though). So meh! Still takes like 2 months at minimum for a single equip.

I accepted and forfeited the quests, and it still won't let me reset, how else am I going to tell how many coins I'm going to get if I can't reset it like that?

As for coins, normal magnus gives some too like 8-10 i think. I'm at 104 coins so far, with 1-2 days of daily quests I skipped, and 2 days of normal magnus missed.

[Stereo]

May as well write which quests give 1 or 2 coins, see if it's consistent
*Merchant Crew - Specter General Emblem - 2
*Supply Delivery - Tree Sap - 1
*Supply Delivery - Sharp Fang - 1


PS what the pineapple kaiser quests, why is it literally "go kill 50 of each" "go get 40 drops from each" "go kill 50 of each" x infinity.

Finally got my Kaiser through to Magnus... lolol so trolled by normal mode. 80% hp hits faster than pot cooldowns disappear.

[hadriel]

They're generally consistent:

Supply box: 2 coins
Kill 150 blue and 150 red thingys: 1 coin
kill 200 spectre engineers: 1 coin [this is slower because of low spawn and low spawn density]

There is absolutely no way I can kill Magnus. It's just crazy. I'm giving up on Nova capes. I'll be content with just the Helsium cape and shoes... get the damn cape from the Tempest shop then. 55 hours is nothing compared to 20-30 days.

I am the only one staying with the empress set? >.>
