Summary of "Stop Trolling Yourself (with Cores) - The First Descendant"
Game Storyline and Context
The video discusses the farming mechanics in "The First Descendant," particularly focusing on the void erosion system and the acquisition of higher-level cores. The narrator expresses frustration over a prevalent misconception in the gaming community that farming at level 21 is the optimal strategy for obtaining cores.
Gameplay Highlights
- The narrator critiques a specific video from "The Full Measure" that promotes farming at level 21, labeling it as misleading and filled with misinformation.
- The video emphasizes the importance of understanding core crafting mechanics, specifically how lower-tier cores can be combined to create higher-tier ones.
Key Strategies and Tips
- core crafting Mechanics:
- To craft a higher-tier core, players need multiple lower-tier cores (e.g., 3 tier 1 cores make 1 tier 2 core).
- The crafting process involves multiple conversions, which can significantly inflate gold costs if players focus on lower-tier cores.
- Efficiency of Farming:
- Farming at level 21 yields a lower value of cores compared to higher levels.
- Level 27 is highlighted as a more efficient farming level, providing significantly greater core values (3.14 times better than level 21).
- level 30 is even more efficient, being 7 times greater than level 21, thus encouraging players to farm at the highest level they can manage.
- Gold Cost Considerations:
- The narrator explains that focusing on lower-tier cores can lead to increased gold expenditure due to the crafting requirements.
- Higher-tier farming not only yields better core values but also saves players money in the long run.
Conclusion
The narrator urges players to think critically about farming strategies and to aim for higher levels for more efficient core acquisition, rather than adhering to the misleading advice of farming at level 21.
