General News

Path of Exile 3.27 was released on November 19th at 5 PM. This patch primarily focuses on improving quality of life and also fixes some abnormal boss behavior.

This patch was released relatively late, meaning it was quickly, or even already, implemented in the game. Let's take a look at the key changes it brings.

Breach Fortress Quality Of Life

In Breach Hive Fortress encounters, there is now an ability that instantly destroys all surrounding walls. This ability is available at the start of the encounter.

These walls were originally designed for players with less gear, serving to slow down monsters and provide a buffer. However, many players (especially late-game players) found these walls annoying because they slowed down the game's pace. Therefore, this is a significant improvement, allowing players to adjust the pace of encounters according to their own strength.

Stronger players can now choose to destroy walls, allowing monsters to rush towards them more quickly, thus speeding up map progression. Players whose builds are not yet fully complete can still choose to retain the walls, making the fight safer and more controllable, but it will take longer.

Sirus Adjustments

In Patch 3.27, Feared Maven Invitation was dropped by Sirus and Incarnation of Dread, but Sirus performed poorly in The Feared fight.

In Patch 3.27.0d, Sirus will now use a wider range of abilities than in regular combat, which may make the fight more dangerous. However, he no longer has the same health threshold as in the regular Sirus fight and can be one-shotted.

For players who can instantly kill Sirus in The Feared, this change may make the fight easier, but for players who cannot finish it quickly, the fight may become more difficult.

However, players who can usually challenge The Feared have already achieved Ailment immunity and Corrupting Blood immunity, so even with more abilities, Sirus's threat is relatively limited.

Currency QoL Improvements

In version 3.27.0, holding down the Alt key while using Orb of Alteration automatically activated Orb of Augmentation function. This has now been extended to Orb of Alchemy and Orb of Chance. Holding down Alt while using Orb of Alchemy or Orb of Chance will automatically consume Orb of Scouring.

This change undoubtedly provides a smoother crafting experience, eliminating the need for players to manually switch PoE currency. For Orb of Chance and Orb of Alchemy (especially when used on the map), this is almost a complete buff, as players typically don't care about the specific numerical range of mods, only whether the mod is feasible.

However, the Alt key is also a shortcut for viewing item mod details. When using Orb of Alteration, if you want to check whether the recently rolled mod is Tier 1 or Tier 2, or whether it's a Perfect Roll, holding down the Alt key will interrupt the crafting process, causing inconvenience.

Ideally, there should be an option to rebind this crafting shortcut, allowing players to enjoy the convenience of new features without interfering with viewing modifier information.

Sales History Upgrade

On the official trading website, players can clearly see detailed information about sold items and modifiers. However, currently, the in-game sales history only displays item names, not detailed information.

This patch makes some minor improvements to the in-game version, but these improvements don't bring substantial experience enhancements, as the in-game version is still far less user-friendly than the website version.

Additionally, some issues with the in-game Market Browser have been fixed, such as some items requiring manual number input instead of dropdown options.

Currently, most players only use the in-game Market Browser for very basic transactions; for any complex searches, players still prefer to use external trading websites.

Bug Fixes

The Feared Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where Sirus would remain stationary and not be counted as part of map completion in Valdo's Maps with "The Feared" affix.
• Fixed a bug where Portals were unusable during the fight against The Feared in Valdo's Maps.
• Fixed a bug where Breach Tul and Esh fights could not be completed.
• Fixed an issue where the chilled ground in Incarnation of Dread would sometimes spawn in the wrong location during the encounter in The Feared on Valdo's Maps.

This fix made these maps more dangerous because Sirus now attacks normally. His Dive Bomb skill deals significant damage, making encounters in The Feared more difficult.

Other Bug Fixes And Balance Adjustments

• In Ruthless Mode, fixed a bug where the uber Incarnation Boss did not drop loot.
• Ice Nova slam and Ice Comets in Incarnation of Neglect dealt more damage than expected and have now been nerfed.

Controller-Related Fixes

• Added a Leave Hideout option to the pause menu for controller players in other players' hideouts.
• Fixed a bug where controller players couldn't switch scouting report affinity on the currency stash page.
• Fixed a bug where controller players couldn't use Corruption Altar on Gem items in Vaal Ruins area of the story.
• Added the same currency switching functionality to controllers as to keyboard players; players can switch by pressing Y or the triangle key.

PoE 2 Patch 0.4.0 will be released in about three weeks, so the official team may not have much time to thoroughly fix PoE 3.27. Therefore, this patch mainly focuses on quality-of-life updates and doesn't address the fixes players care about, but it's still a very good update.

While the basic pattern of each adventure is consistent - exploration, looting, and eliminating all enemies encountered - ARC Raiders enriches the combat experience by adding and rotating maps with diverse terrains and styles, building upon the existing mechanics.

Currently, the base maps you'll likely encounter in ARC Raiders are remnants of a prosperous past, now occupied by ARC droids. We can only glimpse their former glory during exploration. These maps include:

• Dam Battlegrounds
• Buried City
• Spaceport
• The Blue Gate
• Stella Montis
• Practice Range

Your task is to bring back enough resources from these maps to strengthen your character and base. While you might encounter variant maps offering more resources, the base maps remain the core of your farming.

Based on this, we'll use Buried City map as an example to list several locations worth prioritizing for looting, improving your farming efficiency on this map.

Buried City Overview

Each run of this map lasts approximately 30 minutes, allowing for a maximum of 8 rounds of combat. The city is situated in arid, desolate sand dunes, its tall, imposing buildings, narrow streets, and empty plazas telling tales of its lost glory.

Looking at the map details, the main buildings and locations in Buried City are generally distributed in a north-south direction. Therefore, if you want to plan a time-efficient route, you can follow this pattern.

1. Hospital

Located in the northern part of the map, this is a relatively tall building, ideal for ambushing and sniping enemies from a combat perspective, as you can easily reach the rooftop using a zipline - where you can also loot weapons and lockers.

The entire building not only contains abundant obtainable resources but also many items left behind by other players who died. Because the hospital itself is quite dangerous, it's prone to spawning difficult ARC robots.

Therefore, if you want to farm items here and escape unscathed, you need to improve your character in every aspect to avoid ending up like other failed Raiders.

To do this, the fastest way to do this is to directly buy the relevant services, and currently, ARC Raiders products for sale on IGGM offer an 8% discount with ARC8 code, making it the perfect time to strengthen yourself.

That said, the hospital has a friendly feature: it's close to Raider Hatch and a regular exit. This means that if you're careful and fast enough, you can escape immediately if you can't win a fight.

2. Space Travel

Here, you'll find yourself heading south from the hospital. The enemies here are mainly small robots clustered indoors, making it slightly less dangerous overall, but the loot and containers are exceptionally plentiful.

Even though many other players have already explored Space Travel, you don't need to worry about going home empty-handed; the "rich" Space Travel won't let any visitor leave empty-handed.

3. Research

This building is adjacent to Space Travel, with an interior layout consisting mainly of narrow corridors and staircases. Loot is primarily located on the roof and inside the buildings. If you find the roof too dangerous, looting the individual rooms should suffice.

Note that this terrain means that real players in Research are more dangerous than the roaming Pops or Fireballs, as they are more adept at ambushing from hidden corners. However, you can also use this terrain to conceal your movements.

4. Grandioso Apartments

Located in the southwest of Buried City map, this multi-story residential area takes considerable time to explore, but the rewards are substantial.

More importantly, you'll find many keys here that can unlock rooms in other locations. These rooms often contain containers or chests with better items, increasing your overall loot farming potential.

5. Plaza Rosa

Continuing southeast, you'll reach this plaza. It contains many small buildings and shops to loot. We generally recommend prioritizing the pharmacy before exploring other buildings.

Although the plaza is open, enemy density and spawn rates are low, allowing for safe resource gathering. Even if you encounter a troublesome enemy, the nearby extraction point provides a quick escape.

6. Library

This building is located to the north, close to the hospital. The library's danger lies in its mostly damaged state, making you easily spotted by passing ARC robots. Furthermore, the loot generated here is mostly suitable for selling.

Therefore, if you're not good at scouting PvE enemies, we only recommend exploring this area when you're short on coins to avoid unnecessary losses.

7. Town Hall

This location is in the center of the map, but in terms of value, it's not a key point in Buried City. Without the key to enter, you'll only find ordinary loot in a limited area, and enemies are always lurking outside.

8. Parking Garage

Surrounded by the hospital, library, Space Travel, and Research, this location is easily overlooked because it doesn't seem to have many hidden loot spots.

However, many cars inside contain supplies, making it well worth a leisurely search. Furthermore, the parking lot, being a relatively enclosed area, is less likely to be spotted or disturbed by ARC enemies, making it a paradise for slow-paced players.

9. Santa Maria Houses

As a residential area, it has plenty of buildings and rooms to loot. More importantly, if you look south from a higher vantage point, you'll find many ARC robots stationed there.

If your character is strong enough, you can head south to kill these enemies and collect their loot. You might also find supplies left behind by other defeated players, killing two birds with one stone.

10. Piazza Arbusto

Located in the southeastern part of the map, the overall loot value isn't very high, but the enemies are relatively easy to deal with in terms of difficulty and number. It's suitable as a pilot area after entering Buried City.

Besides the above, there are other locations within Buried City, but they are either not very valuable or too dangerous. Therefore, if you don't have enough time and a powerful gear, it's not recommended to clear the entire map.

We hope this information will give you a fulfilling and exciting adventure on this map! Have fun!

Hey tycoons! There are only three weeks left in your Monopoly Go Cozy Comforts album collection, meaning your collection is nearing its end. The special event reward has also changed from a Swap Pack to Wild stickers.

The current special event is Harvest Racers, where you team up with four other players to collect flag tokens and overtake others. Only the winning team will receive the grand prize.

Date

Harvest Racers event runs from November 19, 2025 at 1:00 PM EST to November 23, 2025 at 3:55 PM EST, a total of four days.

How To Play Harvest Racers?

On the first day, you can find teammates to team up with. For the next three days, you'll compete against three other teams each day. Based on your ranking, each team will receive a different number of medals:

First Match

• 1st Place: 10 medals
• 2nd Place: 8 medals
• 3rd Place: 6 medals
• 4th Place: 4 medals

Second Match

• 1st Place: 10 medals
• 2nd Place: 8 medals
• 3rd Place: 6 medals
• 4th Place: 4 medals

Third Match

• 1st Place: 20 medals
• 2nd Place: 16 medals
• 3rd Place: 12 medals
• 4th Place: 8 medals

Since you get double medals on the last day, you still have a chance to win even if you're behind in the first two days. Make sure your teammates are active players who can collect flag tokens with you during the event. Otherwise, if other players drag you down, you'll almost certainly not get first place.

Of course, you can choose to participate in Harvest Racers alone, but this not only makes winning much more difficult, but you also won't get the purple sticker pack and Wild Sticker. The rewards for individual races are significantly lower than team rewards, so joining a team is strongly recommended.

Because Harvest Racers allows two teams or players with the same number of medals to tie for first place, your team needs at least 36 medals to consistently secure first place.

34 medals will also guarantee your victory, but you need to ensure you achieve first place at least once (excluding the third match, which you also need to win), and then your team chooses to finish fourth on the remaining days to retain flag tokens. Achieving this requires good communication between you and your teammates.

Monopoly Go Harvest Racers Rewards

Team Rewards

• 1st Place: New Board Token, Purple Sticker Pack, Wild Sticker
• 2nd Place: Purple Sticker Pack, Blue Sticker Pack
• 3rd Place: Blue Sticker Pack, Pink Sticker Pack
• 4th Place: Yellow Sticker Pack, Green Sticker Pack

Solo Rewards

• 1st Place: New Board Token, Blue Sticker Pack, Pink Sticker Pack
• 2nd Place: Pink Sticker Pack, Yellow Sticker Pack
• 3rd Place: Pink Sticker Pack
• 4th Place: Yellow Sticker Pack

In Harvest Racers, only the first-place winner receives the most valuable rewards, whether in Solo Rewards or Team Rewards. The sticker packs awarded for second place are less valuable than those in tournament events, so aim for first place.

How To Earn Flag Tokens?

The more Flag Tokens you have, the more laps you complete in Harvest Racers, and the better the rewards you'll receive. There are several main ways to earn Flag Tokens.

Tournaments And Banner Events

Whether it's partner events, digging events, or Harvest Racers events, milestone rewards from tournaments and banner events are always your most reliable and primary source of tokens.

Tournament and banner event milestones typically contain several thousand banner tokens. Tournament rewards yield fewer tokens, but earning tournament points is much easier than banner events, and if you rank high in tournaments, you'll also receive better sticker packs and more Express Coins.

Banner events last longer, but require more points, making tournaments less efficient overall. It's recommended that you and your teammates prioritize earning rewards from tournament milestones.

Quick Wins

Quick Wins are daily events with low difficulty. Completing these events usually rewards players with some cash or dice. Banner tokens are also included during Harvest Racers events, but in limited quantities.

Shop Gifts

The shop refreshes every 8 hours, allowing you to claim a limited number of free gifts. Banner tokens are naturally included during these events. Theoretically, you can claim it 3 times a day, but not all players can claim it the moment it refreshes. It's recommended to claim it twice a day.

Tokens On The Board

Sometimes one or two flag tokens will appear on the board, but you only get them after you reach that square (one flag token). It's not recommended to invest too much in these; focus on tournaments and banner events.

Harvest Racers

When your team completes a certain number of laps in Harvest Racers event, you will also receive some flag tokens. Additionally, your teammates will sometimes randomly gift some to other teammates when they spin the wheel with flag tokens.

That's a general overview of Harvest Racers event. Remember to use all your flag tokens before the event ends, otherwise they will turn into cash instead of dice after the event ends. The more flag tokens you have left, the more cash you can convert.

If you can't find reliable teammates and don't want to participate in Harvest Racers alone, you can completely trust Monopoly Go Harvest Racers Event Rank #1 Full Carry service in IGGM. There's a professional team of players here to ensure you get an edge in Harvest Racers events.

For a game like Grow A Garden with simple mechanics and gameplay, regularly launching fun limited-time events is crucial. These events attract you with limited-time rewards, ensuring you don't get bored.

Because limited-time events change so frequently in Grow A Garden, loyal players who want to avoid missing out on them and their rewards must pay close attention to and understand the mechanics of any new events.

Therefore, we'll be introducing the recently launched Smithing event. As the name suggests, this event changes the game's fundamental farming mechanics for a limited time by introducing a forging system and gameplay, making it worth experiencing.

Smithing Event Overview

This event launched on November 15th, 2025, and will run until November 29th, lasting two weeks.

In summary, the event introduces four forging stations related to the core gameplay. You can consume existing Grow A Garden items to generate coal and then craft other items at the forging stations. These crafting stations and their functions are as follows:

• Pet Crafting Station: Crafts event-limited pets.
• Cosmetics Crafting Station: Crafts event-limited cosmetics.
• Gear Crafting Station: Crafts event-limited gear to promote crop growth.
• Seeds Crafting Station: Generates limited-time rare seeds.

Smithing event-limited items that can be crafted through the forging bench include:

Seeds:

• Luminous Bloom
• Luna Stem
• Zucchini
• Olive
• Hollow Bamboo
• Yarrow
• Sunflower

Gear:

• Garden Ingot
• Garden Ore
• Common Coal
• Rare Coal
• Legendary Coal
• Divine Coal
• Smith Treat
• Pet Shard Forger
• Smith Hammer of Harvest
• Thundelbringer
• Charcoal Sprinkler
• Geode Sprinkler

Pets:

• Gem Egg
• Topaz Snail
• Amethyst Beetle
• Emerald Snake
• Sapphire Macaw
• Diamond Panther
• Ruby Squid
• Termite
• Geode Turtle
• Trapdoor Spider
• Goblin Miner
• Smithing Dog
• Cheetah

Cosmetics:

• Anvil
• Coal Box
• Blacksmith Grinder
• Tools Rack
• Shield Statue
• Horse Shoe Magnet

Mutations:

• Forger
• Crystalized
• Moist
• Tempered
• Webbed
• Wildfast

How To Obtain Coal?

As you may have noticed from the overview, whatever Smithing event-limited reward you want, you must craft it using coal. Therefore, coal is arguably the core of this event.

To obtain coal, you need to find the corresponding forge in the center of your garden and then sacrifice four items: fruits, seeds, gear, and pets. The higher the rarity of the sacrificed material, the more coal you will obtain, and the rarity will also increase.

However, we do not recommend sacrificing rare items indiscriminately, as their value is still higher than that of coal as a consumable. Therefore, based on the material type, we have listed the following materials that are worth prioritizing for sacrifice:

• Fastest-growing, lowest-value fruits.
• Old enough pets, but with average rarity and bonus effects.
• Uncommon or duplicate gear.
• Common, ordinary seeds.

However, if you haven't crafted the limited-edition item you want by the end of the event, it's time to sacrifice your Transcendent and Prismatic tier items!

Items Worth Prioritizing

Based on the information above, this event offers many limited-edition items, but your resources are limited, making it difficult to craft them all, and not every item is valuable. Therefore, you need to selectively plan your crafting.

Seeds

Of all the limited-edition seeds, we highly recommend crafting olive and hollow bamboo seeds. Once mature, olives can be used to obtain coal or to craft other items. Hollow bamboo grows quickly and can be used to decorate your garden once mature.

It's worth noting that hollow bamboo is unique compared to regular bamboo due to its hollow structure, which may create interesting interactions with your garden pets when used as decoration.

Gear

Compared to other items, gear requires the most coal at the gear forge. Therefore, to avoid missing out due to resource shortages, we recommend crafting Smith Hammer of Harvest first.

This gear requires 1 harvest tool, 3 rare coals, and 6,000,000 Sheckles, taking 30 minutes to craft. It allows you to instantly harvest all fruit within a certain radius, eliminating the need to run around harvesting.

Afterwards, if you have enough resources, you can forge the following gear:

• Forger Pet Shard: Grants your selected pets a permanent Weight of a Smith blessing, further enhancing their farming efficiency.
• Smith Treat: Provides pets with a continuous and substantial XP boost, stacking with other buffs.
• Thunder Bringer: Summons lightning to strike plants in the garden, triggering special mutations and instantly harvesting some plants.

Pets

Smithing Dog is probably the most suitable pet for this event-based gameplay, as releasing it will allow it to discover hidden coal deposits in the garden, increasing your coal income.

The second limited-edition pet worth having is Cheetah, which grants you a transformation effect, giving a chance for Wild Fast mutation to the fruit you harvest during the transformation, increasing its rarity and yield.

Gem Egg Collection is a special pet type; the pets you get after hatching are random, but most are very rare, so it's worth the gamble.

Don't Forget To Play The Mini-Games!

In addition to crafting items according to the basic gameplay, Smithing event also features a daily mini-game system. During the event, you can claim 10 treasure digging chances each day. Digging up crates gives you a chance to obtain the following rewards:

• Divine coal
• Gem Eggs
• Event exclusive pets
• High-tier crafting materials, represented by Grandmaster Sprinkler

That's all the information you should know about playing Grow A Garden Smithing event. We wish you good luck in the coming days and hope you successfully craft any item you want!

Whether in the anime or spin-off games, you'll always find new wild Pokemon waiting to be discovered in Pokemon world! This keeps them always fresh.

In contrast, while the anime usually introduces new Pokemon through storylines in new episodes, the classic game Pokemon Go typically introduces new Pokemon through limited-time events.

Yes, even after nearly a decade, Pokémon Go remains active and has a loyal fanbase, so much so that you can now participate in the latest limited-time event, High Voltage!

So how do you play this event? What new Pokemon does it bring? We'll answer all your questions.

High Voltage Event Overview

This event introduces new Shiny Pokemon and increases the appearance rate of other rare Pokemon, giving you the opportunity to enrich your high-end Pokemon collection. The more you catch, the richer the rewards!

Compared to other events held in early November, High Voltage has less battle element; you can focus on venturing out and completing quests to acquire Electric-type Pokémon.

Event Schedule

The event began on Tuesday, November 18th, 2025, at 10:00 AM and will continue until Saturday, November 22nd at 8:00 PM, a total of four days and 10 hours. During this period, simply log in daily to activate the following rewards once a day:

• Achieving a "Nice" or better rating when throwing a Poké Ball will grant double Catch XP.
• Successfully catching any Pokémon will grant double Stardust.

More XP means you can level up to catch rarer Pokémon, while a large amount of Stardust will accelerate your Pokémon's leveling. Therefore, these two rewards are not to be missed!

It's important to note that to guarantee the second bonus, you must successfully catch a Pokémon. Therefore, it's best to buy Pokemon Go PokeCoins to exchange for incense or lures, which continuously attract Pokémon, to increase your success rate.

What Pokemon Can You Catch?

Pokémon appearing at this event are primarily Electric-type. While most of them cannot evolve further, their base forms already possess considerable fighting power and are worth having, so don't hesitate to invest your time and effort in catching them!

The most important and anticipated new Pokemon is Shiny Morpeko. It possesses both Electric and Devil types and has two interchangeable forms: Full Belly and Hangry. Other existing Pokémon whose appearance rate will increase during High Voltage include:

• Emolga (Electric/Flying-type)
• Dedenne (Electric/Fairy-type)
• Togedemaru (Electric/Steel-type)
• Shinx (Electric-type)

These Pokémon, including Morpeko, are primarily yellow, black, and white in color, and look round and adorable! And if you're lucky enough, you might also encounter Shiny forms of other Pokémon, so be sure to seize the opportunity to catch them!

All Playable Content

Besides catching limited-time Pokemon, during High Voltage, you can complete related tasks to increase your chances of encountering other less common Pokémon.

Most of these tasks will be released as time-limited research and are not difficult to complete. All tasks and their corresponding rewards are as follows:

• Catch 10 Electric-type Pokémon: Blitzle, Joltik, or Yamper encounter
• Use 5 Berries to help catch Pokémon: Emolga or Morpeko encounter
• Spin 5 PokéStop or Gyms: Magnemite or Voltorb encounter
• Take a snapshot of an Electric-type Pokémon: Plusle or Minun encounter
• Use an Electric-type Charged Attack in a battle: Morpeko encounter
• Power up Electric-type Pokémon 10 times: Dedenne or Morpeko encounter

Pokemon whose appearance rate can be increased through these research activities mainly include:

• Magnemite (Electric/Steel-type)
• Yamper (Electric-type)
• Morpeko (Electric/Dark-type)

Compared to aimlessly searching in the wild, using timed research in conjunction with power-up items to obtain High Voltage core Pokémon Morpeko is undoubtedly the most efficient method.

While the other two Pokemon are not very rare, they do appear infrequently. Therefore, if you don't already have them in your collection, High Voltage event is the best opportunity to catch them.

Besides increasing the appearance rate of specific Pokémon, completing the challenge will also reward you with Stardust, XP, or another chance to encounter Morpeko, so be sure to complete it as soon as possible.

Happy Or Hangry Premium Research

If your budget allows, you can choose to acquire this research additionally. It consists of two parts, offering slightly different rewards, but both increase the appearance rate of Shiny versions of High Voltage exclusive Pokemon.

Part 1：

• Catch 5 Pokémon: Emolga encounter
• Catch 10 Pokémon: 10 Pinap Berries
• Catch 15 Pokémon: Dedenne encounter
• Spin 5 PokéStops or gyms: 15 Great Balls
• Take a snapshot of your buddy: Togedemaru encounter
• Make 5 curveball throws: 5 Morpeko Candy
• Rewards: Morpeko encounter, 1 Charged TM, 5,000 Stardust

Part 2:

• Catch 5 Pokémon: Morpeko encounter
• Catch 10 Pokémon: 1 Magnetic Lure Module
• Catch 15 Pokémon: Morpeko encounter
• Spin 5 PokéStops or gyms: 2 Premium Battle Passes
• Take a snapshot of your buddy: Morpeko encounter
• Win a trainer battle in Go Battle League: 10 Morpeko Candy
• Rewards: Morpeko encounter, 1 Elite Charged TM, 5,000 Stardust

Charged Cuties Collection Challenge

This extra challenge requires you to complete the following collection tasks before the event ends. The final rewards include 2,500 XP, 2,500 Stardust, and a chance to encounter Morpeko.

• Catch Emolga: Can be encountered by catching it in the wild or completing event research.
• Catch Dedenne: Can be encountered by catching it in the wild, completing seasonal or event research.
• Catch Pawmi: Catch it in the wild.
• Catch Togedemaru: Catch it in the wild.

The above is the main information about this High Voltage event. It's worth noting that another new event, Dynamax Eevee Max Battle Weekend, will begin the day before it ends, November 21st! Don't miss it if you have time!

The blueprint drop mechanism in ARC Raiders has many ambiguities, leading to biases and unverified speculation among players based primarily on personal experience.

To acquire blueprints more efficiently, it's crucial to distinguish reliable from incorrect guesses. Let's examine whether the current blueprint drop methods are truly effective.

Blueprint Drop Rules

Reliable Blueprint Sources

Currently, the most reliable source of blueprints is trial rewards. Players receive five trial challenges weekly, earning points for completing them. These points determine the quality of blueprints obtained.

Some blueprints are only obtainable through specific quests and do not drop randomly. For example, Jupiter and Equalizer Legendary blueprints can only be obtained through Harvester event.

Random Drops

Besides the above, almost all other blueprints can be found randomly in any container in the game. Several types of containers have a higher chance of dropping blueprints:

• Weapon Cases
• Grenade Cases
• Medical Duffel Bags
• Buried Caches

Factors Affecting Drop Rate

Some factors increase the blueprint drop rate, such as a higher blueprint drop rate in Night Raids compared to Day Raids.

Rooms requiring extra effort to enter, such as rooms behind destructible doors or rooms requiring parkour, have higher loot quality for all containers, thus increasing the blueprint drop rate. This effect also seems to stack with Night Raid bonuses. Locked key rooms and puzzle rooms also have above-average loot quality.

Destructible containers, such as chests and lockers, seem to have a higher base drop rate than standard lootable containers, and ARC enemies, Surveyors, have a surprisingly high blueprint drop rate when defeated.

New Weapon Blueprints

The 6 new ARC Raiders items added in the recent update should theoretically have blueprints, but no players have reported finding them, which means their blueprints are currently unobtainable.

Speculations On Improving Blueprint Acquisition Methods

If you can skillfully apply the above blueprint farming conditions, farming them will be much more efficient. However, there are also reports that blueprints have a higher probability of appearing on Electromagnetic Storm map and in specific locations, which some players have verified.

Electromagnetic Storm

Electromagnetic Storm is a timed event that triggers at different times, each lasting approximately 60 minutes. There are fewer extraction points and stronger enemies in Electromagnetic Storm.

Multiple community members have reported finding specific blueprints in specific locations and under Electromagnetic Storm map conditions. Players have tested this in Pale Apartments and Ruby Residences areas in the northwest of Damn Battlegrounds map.

In five sessions specifically looting the aforementioned apartment building during Electromagnetic Storm, three testers found a total of five blueprints. However, this was still probabilistic, as one session found none, while another session found two blueprints.

Blueprints were also successfully found in different map types within other Electromagnetic Storm sessions. Players testing at the same locations in Night Raids obtained fewer blueprints than during Electromagnetic Storm.

Based on the verified results, Electromagnetic Storm, as the primary map condition, requires a blueprint drop rate at least equal to, and possibly even higher than, Night Raids to have an above-average blueprint drop rate. However, this conclusion still needs confirmation from data mining or the developers, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

Location-Specific Drop Rates

There are also claims in the community that certain blueprints have a higher drop rate only in specific container types or locations.

Firstly, the room behind the breach door in Bluegate underground area. It is said that modified Augment blueprints are very likely to appear here. There's relatively little disagreement within the community about this, and many players have found it there, so it may have some credibility.

Another location is Grandioso Apartments in Buried City night raid, especially the north building, which is said to drop Tempest blueprints. However, player testing has shown that while other blueprints have been found, the probability of Tempest blueprints appearing hasn't increased, only indicating that the blueprint density at that location is still acceptable.

Some players have also reported that scavenger containers, trash bins, drawers, kitchen cabinets, suitcases, red lockers, breach boxes, and breakable lockers all have a higher probability of dropping blueprints.

Places like Dam Battleground apartment building give the impression of a high drop rate precisely because of the dense distribution of these various containers. Players noticing a trend of finding more blueprints in a particular location can easily reinforce this perception bias due to the influence of other players' descriptions.

Therefore, rather than a specific location or container type determining the drop rate, it's more accurate to say that the density of containers that can drop blueprints is at play. While there may be abundant loot, the blueprint drop rate may not be substantially increased.

Reliable Farming Methods

Based on the above facts and speculations about blueprints, to farm more blueprints, you can participate in night raids or enter Electromagnetic Storm map and search areas with high container density. Theoretically, this is the most efficient way to obtain blueprints.

Currently, most theories circulating in the player community regarding specific locations or containers providing bonuses to specific blueprints cannot be fully confirmed. If more players can share their opinions and engage in discussion, perhaps more efficient blueprint farming methods will emerge.

On November 19th at 12 AM PT, Lost Ark received an update called Day of Prophecy, bringing a wealth of new game content and event challenges. We believe these exciting activities will provide you with an extraordinary gaming experience.

Below, we will introduce the key features and participation requirements of this Lost Ark Day of Prophecy update. We hope this article will help you better understand how to maximize your enjoyment of the game.

Kazeros Raid Act 4: Fortress Of Destruction

Kazeros Raid Act 4 will take players deep into Diaspero's Fortress of the Abyss. You will engage in fierce battles against Covetous Master Echidna and Sentinel of the Abyss Armoche.

Echidna is elegant, but beneath her beautiful appearance lies greater danger. Armoche, on the other hand, uses halberds and shields in combat, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities. Their formidable strength allows them to easily dominate the battlefield, handling any crisis with ease.

To undertake this challenge in Lost Ark Day of Prophecy update, you need to meet several conditions, which are detailed below:

• Quest: Rimeria World Quest - Connected Duty & Prelude Quest: Destined Trajectory
• Item Level: 1700+ for Normal mode and 1720+ for Hard mode

Note that as Tier 4 endgame content, Kazeros Raid Act 4 shares the weekly Lost Ark gold reward and free bonus reward cap with other endgame content. Consider completing this challenge more often; it might bring you some surprises.

Kazeros Raid Denouement - Final Day

Kazeros Raid Denouement Final Day will take place at the summit of Diaspero.

After climbing Stairs of Reverence, players will face the highly aggressive Lord of the Abyss Kazeros of Lost Ark. This powerful enemy has two forms: Abyss Lord and Archdemon, capable of inflicting significant damage and impact on players during the battle.

In this Lost Ark Day of Prophecy update, Final Day raid has undergone numerous game optimizations, providing a better gaming experience.

Similarly, participating in this challenge requires meeting some conditions:

• Condition: Complete Gate 2 of Act 4 on any difficulty.
• Item Level: 1710+ for Normal mode and 1730+ for Hard mode.

This challenge will utilize Frontier System. Hard Mode will start decreasing from Stage 3, while Normal Mode will start from Stage 0 and remain at that stage. However, First Mode will not use this game mechanic.

If you can complete the early stages before the Frontier System decreases to Stage 0, you will receive some valuable first-kill rewards. These items and titles are sure to please.

It's worth noting that a more difficult version of Kazeros Raid Denouement - Final Day is coming soon, and this more challenging event will be highlighted below.

Kazeros First Clear Race Details

When it comes to shooters, since they lack surreal elements, your attacks are based entirely on weapon abilities. Based on this characteristic, Call of Duty: Black Ops series introduced various mechanics to enrich your attack options.

These mechanics are typically represented by perks, supplemented by wildcards, loadouts, etc., whose main function is to grant you new skills or buffs after adding them.

In Black Ops 7, released on November 14th, the game further optimized the perk system through slot changes and perk merging, while also introducing 9 wildcards.

Perks act more like external skills; you can select and equip them to improve your movement and combat efficiency. Wildcards, on the other hand, allow you to customize your setup in unique ways, such as carrying more weapons or perks.

Based on this, we will recommend the top perks and wildcards worth equipping in the current BO7.

Black Ops 7 Perks Overview

First, you need to know that each Black Ops 7 character only has three perk slots. This means that without special wildcard buffs, you can only equip a maximum of three perks.

All perks are divided into three categories: Enforcer (offensive), Recon (re-conative), and Strategist (supportive), represented by red, blue, and green icons.

Without wildcards, the number of perks available per slot is limited. Therefore, careful selection is necessary to maximize the effectiveness of all perks.

If you're unsure whether certain perks are right for you, you can equip them and buy CoD Black Ops 7 bot lobbies to test them in a more relaxed and safer combat environment.

Best Slot 1 Perks

Players generally seem to prefer equipping green and blue perks for the first two slots, as they focus on survivability, mobility, and basic defense, as well as awareness, gear operation, and counter-tactics, respectively.

Therefore, we follow this default guideline and recommend the blue Ghost for slot 1.

This perk makes your bomb-handling movements undetectable by enemy reconnaissance pulses and drones, and makes your movements more stealthy when using a sniper rifle, giving you a distinct stealth style.

Another Recon perk, Ninja, has a similar effect, making your movements quieter and less noticeable to the enemy. However, it's important to note that you cannot use both perks simultaneously unless you equip special wildcards.

Alternatively, you can insert the support-type Flak Jacket in slot 1. It reduces the damage you take from explosions and fire, making it suitable for rushing towards and attempting to capture enemy strongholds, as the firepower you'll face at this point is often lethal.

Best Slot 2 Perks

In the second slot, we highly recommend equipping the green Fast Hands. Its effect is to allow you to switch weapons faster and extend the fuse time when throwing grenades.

The first effect is easy to understand: in a fast-paced shooter like BO7, once your primary weapon's ammo is depleted, if you can't switch weapons in time, you're likely to be killed by the enemy. Having Fast Hands significantly increases your survivability.

The second effect, while seemingly contradicting "fast," actually gives you more time to think and adjust your aim when throwing grenades, maximizing the explosive damage.

Another perk worth including in slot 2 is Vigilance. Belonging to Recon category, it helps you gather more intelligence. More specifically, this usually manifests as increased mini-map visibility or immunity to enemy jammers.

Best Slot 3 Perks

In this slot, we'll focus on recommending red perks, such as Bankroll. It rewards you with 150 Scorestreaks upon respawning, with the potential to unlock more Scorestreaks that provide supplies.

Another worthwhile red perk is Looper, which allows you to repeatedly gain Scorestreaks from the same hit, ideal for racking up points or breaking win streaks.

If you want to equip Recon or Strategist type perks in this slot, the blue Tracker is highly recommended. It displays the approximate location of nearby enemies and their footsteps on the mini-map.

More importantly, if you're aiming later, this perk can automatically mark enemies and immediately show the direction of the next nearest enemy on the mini-map after a kill.

What Are Combat Specialties?

The game allows you to unlock combat specialties as new buffs based on the types of all the perks you end up equipping. If you equip all three slots with perks of the same color, you can unlock the following core specialties:

• All red - Enforcer: Briefly increases your movement and health regeneration speed.
• All green - Strategist: Increases target score, speeds up equipment deployment, and reduces distance.
• All blue - Recon: Immediately sees the direction of the nearest target after respawning.

If at least two of the three perks are of different categories, you can unlock the following hybrid specialties:

• Red and blue - Scout: After being killed by bullets, you are completely hidden on the enemy mini-map for 5 seconds.
• Red and green - Tactician: You gain an extra 10 seconds of points from bullet kills when you get an assist.
• Blue and green - Operative: You gain a Field Upgrade charge for stealth kills.

Therefore, in addition to choosing the best perks, you should activate the most suitable combat specialties based on your personal needs to enhance the overall effectiveness of your character's perks system.

Best Wildcards

Currently, there are nine wildcards available in CoD Black Ops 7:

• Tac Expert: Unlocked at level 15
• Overkill: Unlocked at level 20
• Danger Close: Unlocked at level 24
• Gunfighter: Unlocked at level 29
• Perk Greed: Unlocked at level 33
• Prepper: Unlocked at level 38
• Flyswatter: Unlocked at level 41
• High Roller: Unlocked at level 48
• Specialist: Unlocked at level 53

While each loadout can equip one wildcard, you can't possibly create nine loadouts to rotate constantly, especially since new wildcards may be released in the future. Therefore, the following are recommended:

• Overkill: Equip any non-melee weapon in both your primary and secondary weapon slots.
• Gunfighter: Adds three extra attachments to your primary weapon.
• Perk Greed: Allows you to equip one extra perk.

That concludes our introduction. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock more perks, and the game may add even more. You can update your own best perks or wildcards lists at any time - flexible adjustments are the best strategy!

In ARC Raiders, loot is the lifeblood of every raider; every part and seed affects your development progress. And during your resource gathering, Scrappy, the Rooster, is your best partner!

Scrappy, a mechanical assistant resembling a rooster, passively collects basic crafting materials in your room during raids, including Metal Parts, Fabric, Seeds, Chemicals, Rubber Parts, and Plastic Parts. These are essential resources you constantly need to build your base and upgrade your character's abilities.

It's important to note that Scrappy's material collection speed isn't fixed. As you upgrade it, its resource generation speeds up, giving you more passive income. Since these basic items are the first to run out in the early game, prioritizing upgrades to your Scrappy is key to maintaining economic balance in the early stages.

Here, we'll explain how to obtain all the items needed to upgrade Scrappy to level 5 in ARC Raiders, as well as the best spawn locations for all materials.

Upgrade Materials For Each Level

Scrappy, The Rooster, has 5 levels. Upgrading it to the highest level unlocks a variety of items. However, each level upgrade requires collecting and consuming specific materials:

• Fledgling: None (Starting Level)
• Forager: 1x Dog Collar
• Scavenger: 3x Lemon, 3x Apricot
• Treasure Hunter: 6x Prickly Pear, 6x Olives, 1x Cat Bed
• Master Hoarder: 12x Mushroom, 12x Apricot, 3x Very Comfortable Pillow

Level 2 Upgrade Materials

Dog Collar

First, many people struggle to find Dog Collar. Our suggestion is to spend some time exploring Buried City and carefully examining the interiors of all buildings.

The loot mechanic for ARC Raiders is that any cabinet, wardrobe, or other similar interior furniture can spawn drawers. Once spawned, these drawers can be opened, and you might find a Dog Collar inside.

Honestly, if you run around a few times, searching buildings and looting as many ARC Raiders items as possible, you're almost guaranteed to find it in one of the drawers.

For example, buildings like Town Hall, Plaza Rosa, and Santa Maria Houses on Buried City map can spawn Dog Collars. However, we recommend choosing higher-risk areas, as this will increase your chances of finding it.

If you want an even higher drop rate, try night raids. Our testing has shown that the number of cabinets with lootable drawers spawns significantly increases during night raids.

Level 3 Upgrade Materials

After obtaining Dog Collar, you'll need three Lemons and three Apricots to upgrade your Scrappy to level 3. There are several ways to find these items.

Lemon & Apricot

The first method is to look for lootable baskets, which spawn randomly on the map. They are very rare but contain a lot of loot. However, this method isn't 100% effective, as the items obtained are completely random and depend entirely on luck.

The second method requires you to go to the riverbank on Spaceport map, where lemon trees do spawn. If you go during Lush Blooms map modifier, the spawn rate of lemon trees will increase significantly. There's also an extraction point nearby, so you can easily escape, but I recommend keeping it in Safe Pockets just in case.

On Blue Gate map, in Olive Grove, you can find large areas of lemon and apricot trees, and they're always there. Regardless of the event, this area on the map is the best place to find lemons and apricots. You just need to kick a tree to get a large amount of lemons and apricots.

Honestly, the hard part of this part is finding where these trees are, and then everything else is simple.

Level 4 Upgrade Materials

Gathering the materials to upgrade to Level 4 is slightly more difficult. You'll need six Prickly Pears, six Olives, and one Cat Bed.

Olives

The location of Olives is exactly the same as the lemon and apricot trees in The Blue Gate, all in Olive Grove. As the name suggests, this area is full of olive trees.

You can find the fruit and olives on the ground using the same method, or you can kick the olive trees to get more olives. However, be aware that this area is inexplicably a PvP hotspot. Therefore, it's recommended to carry as little equipment as possible, ideally nothing at all. Gather some olives, put them in your Safe Pockets, and return immediately to avoid being ambushed by other raiders and ending up empty-handed.

Cat Bed

You can find Cat Bed in the residential area. The best search locations are Plaza Rosa, Santa Maria Houses, and Piazza Arbutso on Buried City map. These locations are adjacent to each other, so simply search building by building to find Cat Beds.

More specifically, Cat Beds usually appear on shop shelves, not in containers, so don't overlook any shops with signs or rows of shelves inside.

Prickly Pear

Finally, we need Prickly Pears. Cactus are usually very common on Buried City or Dam Battlegrounds map; you can sometimes find Prickly Pears on the ground by simply running around the cacti.

However, note that you can't kick cacti like you would other fruit trees, so this is a bit tedious and will take some time. You'll sometimes find them on the ground near cacti. Again, having Lush Blooms modifier active increases your chances of finding these Prickly Pears.

Level 5 Upgrade Materials

Now, we move on to the final stage, where you need to find 12 Mushrooms and Apricots, and 3 Very Comfortable Pillows. For apricots, you can also collect them in Olive Grove, as mentioned before, so we won't go into detail again.

Mushrooms

Surprisingly, finding mushrooms is the hardest part! Unlike apricots, olives, and lemons, mushroom spawning is often unreliable, making them quite difficult to obtain.

Here, we've narrowed down the search as much as possible, finding some mushroom spawn points that almost always appear.

First, you'll find one in Hydroponic Dome Complex in Swamp. Mushrooms might be present in this area, but this spawn point is essentially shared with another plant there. This means that if that plant is there, you might not find the mushroom, but usually you will.

Another stable spawn point is near ARC wreck. It's marked with a blue arrow on the map, basically on a tree trunk in Scrap Yard. There are three guaranteed mushroom spawn points here; just go and collect them.

However, these three locations aren't close together; you'll need to traverse the entire map to find them, which can take a long time. Therefore, our advice is to play normally and check these areas for mushroom spawns each time you enter the region.

In addition, the trees around Dam Battlegrounds and the nearby river also offer opportunities to find multiple mushroom spawn points. It's a large area, so expect to explore the woods, but you should be able to find quite a few mushrooms and safely evacuate via the nearby elevators.

As always, it's recommended to wait for Lush Blooms to begin, as the mushroom spawn rate will definitely be higher.

Very Comfortable Pillow

Finally, we need to find 3 Very Comfortable Pillows, which will take some time. Honestly, the only thing you can do is go back to the residential areas and search for as many containers as possible.

Grandioso Apartments and Village are the most obvious choices. Both locations are primarily residential, with many apartments and houses to loot. In contrast, we recommend prioritizing Village, as it's generally less looted, while Grandioso Apartments is more crowded.

Another lesser-known location is the building directly beneath Red Tower in Buried City. The top floor of the apartment building connected to the tower has a small raider outpost filled with lockers, safes, and other containers. You can climb onto the roof, go through a hole blasted in the wall, and search for Very Comfortable Pillow.

Meanwhile, Plaza Rosa is generally a good place to find Very Comfortable Pillow, especially above the pharmacy, where there are many dresser drawers to loot. More importantly, all the buildings around the plaza may also contain a variety of residential loot and gadgets, allowing you to leave with a full load.

Again, if you obtain these items, be sure to store them in your Safe Pockets so that even if you die, your collection continues to grow.

The above lists all the materials needed to upgrade Scrappy in ARC Raiders to the maximum level 5 and their locations. Honestly, since you know where to find these items, I suggest you don't specifically look for them; just keep playing the game. If you come to this area later, you can look for them casually, and eventually you'll collect everything you need. This way, you won't get tired of constantly searching for various items. Good luck!

The fourth Friday of November each year marks the start of Christmas shopping season, and this year it falls on November 28th. Black Friday is also a big celebration for FC 26, with the game discounted by 50% to $35. Some previously hesitant players may take this opportunity to join the game.

Besides the influx of new players, there will be some fantastic promotions featuring special cards that will undoubtedly impact the player transfer market, but you can prepare in advance.

FC Pro Live Promo

FC Pro Live Promo is a dynamic promotion based on real-world FC Pro esports tournaments. Player cards representing participating professional players will be upgraded based on their performance in the matches. This promotion starts this Friday.

This promotion seems somewhat lackluster compared to the major Black Friday event, as many players don't actually follow FC 26 esports tournaments. However, it has high trading potential because the value of Live Cards fluctuates dramatically as the event progresses. Last year's promotion also saw the release of some great SBC players, such as Sacha Boey.

Due to the low popularity of FC Pro Live, fewer people may open packs, leading to a shortage of fodder cards, which could actually increase their value in the short term. It's recommended that you monitor the market after Rivals Rewards or Marquee Matchups SBCs are released.

Black Friday And Thunderstruck Promo

A new promotion will also be held during Black Friday, and this one has been confirmed as Thunderstruck. Thunderstruck cards mainly feature players who are passionate and impactful on the field, most of whom are key players in their teams. These cards are also Live Cards, so if a player scores in a match or the team advances, they will receive stat boosts and even Playstyle improvements.

Thunderstruck promotion will last for two weeks, with two Thunderstruck teams unlocked sequentially. In addition to these promotions, this promotion will also feature Thunderstruck-themed visual designs and stadium merchandise, as well as exclusive SBCs, Icons, and more.

Black Friday is the most important event of the year because Thunderstruck promo is sure to introduce powerful players that significantly boost the power curve, including the first batch of promotional Icons and Heroes.

Furthermore, a large number of Flash SBCs, Flash Evolutions, Tournaments, and Live Events will drastically deplete players' FC 26 coins and fuel cards.

All the popular player cards from the promo, such as those from Prime Time, Ultimate Scream, and Festival of Football, will be massively re-released and added to packs, greatly increasing market supply and causing their value to decrease.

Impact On The Player Transfer Market

Black Friday could very well cause the player transfer market to crash again, as players typically sell their teams in advance to raise coins for new promotional players. During Black Friday, players open a large number of card packs, further increasing market supply. This will affect some high-value Gold cards, Icons, and Heroes.

Because Black Friday re-releases promotional cards, the supply of current and past promotional cards, especially those likely to be re-released, such as Festival of Football Captains and Team of the Week cards, will increase, causing their value to fall.

Currently, the value of top players like Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé has already begun to decline, but this is just the beginning, and the lowest point may occur next week.

If you don't want to lose too much, you can consider selling your non-core player cards worth more than 100,000 coins now. Festival of Football promotional cards are currently at a high value; if you want to get them, you can wait until Black Friday.

During the player market crash, some players may experience a short-term rebound after their value plummets, presenting a good opportunity for short-term trading, but the risk is high.

How To Prepare For Black Friday?

Stockpiling Fodder Cards

During Black Friday, there are usually many high-quality SBCs (Small Card Combinations), and completing them requires a large number of fuel cards, increasing market demand.

You can invest 700 to 1000 coins in some 83 OVR and 84 OVR gold players for future upgrade SBCs.

Players from popular leagues like Premier League and Ligue 1, as well as popular nationalities like France and Brazil, are also worth investing in, as they can be used for potential limited-time flash SBCs.

TOTW players are special cards, more valuable than regular gold cards. You can stockpile TOTW cards valued around 10,000 coins each as high OVR fodder cards.

Completing Daily Upgrade SBCs

Consistently complete Daily Bronze, Silver, and Gold Upgrade SBCs to stockpile players for your club.

Saving Packs

Starting now, save the card pack rewards you receive from FUT Champions, Rivals, and Tournaments until Black Friday promo begins.

Black Friday is one of the most anticipated promos for players. You can never have too many FC 26 coins for it. Remember to keep an eye on the market and execute your investment strategy in a timely manner.
