What kind of sadist made these battles!? Hard to believe there's even harder DLC battles too. Meaning I won't bother with max stats. How far should I go? I'll do items and matters, those can be done while grinding Shampurus. Is it even helpful to get the base stats to 600%?

Epic Quests start at 200. So that`s how a Game is made a Epic Quest, I see. How do I start a LP? as far I know a LP don`t pop out of the blue and if the question then it starts then it starts around time SAO S3 is airing(Fall 2018) and ends one year after SAO S3 has finished airing(Fall 2019 or Winter 2020) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An LP doesn't have to start whenever a new game is released or an anime season starts. As for how long an event lasts: that depends on how long you want to maintain the thread. Usually activity starts to decline after a few months, until it's a new release. Games for LPs can be single games or an entire series, but not multiple games from different series. It doesn't have to be a new release, I usually create LPs for games that I enjoyed a lot and want other people to try out, even if they were released years ago. Besides that, if I haven't platted the game, I'll look for someone who did to act as an advisor in case participants have questions. Preferably someone who has been around for a few years so there's less chance of them abandoning it. For helping out as an advisor, they get a trophy too. The format is the intro with a spoilerfree description about the game's synopsis. Then comes the info about rewards, followed by guides & advisors, then participants, and finally the hall of fame. If it's an epic quest, I also add a section for useful posts with links to it after the guides & advisors section, though this isn't restricted to epic quests only. Let me know if you need more info.

I remember Happy doing artwork for the Project Platinum threads, so you could try asking him. I prefer a description about every game, but the series is fine too.

Masamune Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 10 hours ago, Dragon-Archon said: The same sadists that added the trophies for reaching 100% charm levels and 9999 Shampurus for every tier to the list . You actually don't have to max every one... if you're able to max every shampuru but one, you'll only need about 2000 for the last one... So if my math is right, you can skip a grand total of 7,899 shampurus out of 1,009,899! 9 hours ago, viech54 said: Meaning I won't bother with max stats. How far should I go?

Getting your stats up value to 600% will only give you about an extra 30M stats, I believe base stats cap around there (even if you're using level up matter), you can work on it some while farming high EXP battles (like Boss Returns), but I wouldn't bother with any more than that.

Leon Castle Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well Happy is pretty preoccupied with real life stuff so he could not help me with the Let's Play SAO banner and trophies. So I go with option 2 and wait for @Dragon-Archon`s PC to be fixed. gives me time to think of a banner and what trophies to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand corrected: you only need to max out 99.22% of all shampurus . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viech54 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Another NG cleared & defeated all doppelgangers again, got more charm boosts and almost 30k Shampurus.

Rick_Sanchez Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Just made a back up the other day I'm making one just about every week so I don't lose too much. I'm thinking of doing it every time I stop playing and go to sleep for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you all know you can see the results of increasing the grade of an item before doing it & that it changes when you move the cursor to a different item, then back to the item you want to level? There's no longer any need to waste G Up on items without knowing what you get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had known that earlier before wasting some 100k G Up. I only found out by accident when I browsed through my equipment & I haven't seen that in any guide. @Dragon-Archon Maybe you want to add that to the first post to make sure others don't waste their G Up like I did?
