[ToTK] Shenanigans now that I actually have time to sit and play for a while
๐ YEDONG...
I love the Gorons, goro 
๐ YEDONG...
Especially Yunobo's two little minions
๐ YEDONG...
I just beat the Fire Temple and got Yunobo's avatar, which will come in handy- no more needing to risk blowing myself up with Bomb Flowers and wasting weapons when I need to break rocks
๐ YEDONG...
Though now I need to stop, gather some supplies, and make some stuff to sell because the one defensive elixir I had saved my ass in the Marbled Gohma battle
๐ YEDONG...
And try to clear some more Temples so I can get another heart
ๆตท่ณใฎ็
if you haven't started already, make sure to balance hearts with stamina. you hit a point where you will need at least two full wheels
ๆตท่ณใฎ็
but also yunobo's ability: so useful in caves and I love him for it.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
yeah you need two wheels for Something.
๐ YEDONG...
oof, good to know
๐ YEDONG...
I have an extra quarter right now, I tend to focus on getting more hearts just because I am so clumsy, lol
๐ YEDONG...
But I'll get an extra stamina piece once I have enough Blessings
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
also re: stuff to sell, dragon farming is the way to go for me tbh
๐ YEDONG...
Ooh
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
the spike shards sell for a lot and you can get a BUNCH off of one dragon, and since they're a lot more predictable and easy to reach than in BOTW it feels much less of a waste of resources to sell the horns/claws/scales
๐ YEDONG...
Good to know, thank you
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
also just in case you've never tried to land on one of the dragons - you'll need a couple tiers of cold resistance for naydra, and fire resistance for dinraal, so if you have a couple pieces of the snowquill/flamebreaker armor you should be good
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
farosh doesn't need specific armor to land on her, but there IS a constant thunderstorm around so mind your weapons.
๐ YEDONG...
I do need to go back and get the Snowquill leggings, though I do have the tunic and leggings for Flamebreaker
๐ YEDONG...
I've been relying on selling gemstones to get Rupees so far but I can usually just barely scrape together enough to buy the armor I need
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
Also, definitely save the more valuable gems- there is a traveling gerudo lady who only buys stacks of ten of rubies/sapphires/diamonds but offers a delicious mark-up for them
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
dragon parts sell for a TON and you can harvest a new part every ten minutes so it's a real easy way to make some quick money
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
i feel like she and dragon farming has financed my armor-upgrading addiction
๐ YEDONG...
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
iiiiii'm not sure how/when the spike shards respawn since they're not things you knock off the dragons, they're just ON them and you can pick them up
๐ YEDONG...
I did meet the Gerudo lady! She wanted amber and I had enough to sell to her
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
also flints for that guy next to the restaurant, he gives 1k rupees per ripe flint he manages to taste
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
also the dragons don't despawn when you fast travel so if you see one in the distance and know there's a skyview tower close to them, you can warp there and shoot yourself up to get close
๐ YEDONG...
๐ YEDONG...
Sweet
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
i could track a respawn rate sometime, but i do know horns/scales/whatever takes ten real-life minutes to respawn
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
yeah
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
so ill just ride a dragon for a while and grab bits every time it glows again
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
i wanna say the shards respawn with every blood moon like most gatherable stuff????
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
but i'm not totally sure
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
OOH, that's a good point
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
yeah, confirmed blood moon, which is every seven in-game days
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
so you could just sleep your way through until a blood moon scene happens
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
ahhhh okay
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
also on a non-money related note, since you can ride the dragons now, they're SO good for scouting out shrines and stuff
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
some gatherables respawn sooner, like, i've gotten hearty bass and things pretty often, but everything save for treasure chests respawn with blood moon
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
i was able to map out a decent portion of the depths at one point bc i hopped on naydra just as she was diving into the chasm outside kakariko lmfao
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
right??
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
Naydra's one I hop on the most
๐ YEDONG...
This is all very good to know, ty
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
o7!
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
we hyrulean engineers gotta stick together
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
๐๐โโฏ๐ โด๐ป โณ๐๐๐พ๐ธ
hell yeah
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
i was watching mst3k, the new stuff, and when they do 'invention exchanges' i keep imagining some way of nintendo not being dumb and allowing multiplayer because i'd love a Hyrule Engineering Convention where people share their wild constructs
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐จ๐๐ช
or have a giant battlebots tournament
๐ YEDONG...
LOL
๐ YEDONG...
I'll get right on it, I say as I teleport to Rito Village so I can gather more wheat and cook some tasty food
