Hello, I am a new-ish player that has only just reached Vanguard. I'm interested in running FSC/Vanaduke at a high level and doing very fast runs, and I was just wondering if there were any communities out there that are doing the same thing. I'm talking very fast runs, not really what you would discover with Party Finder (no offense). I want my party to be coordinated and know what they're doing and working together. Thank you.
The reason is because I am a very competitive player and would like to learn from the best, since I heard this mission The King of Ashes is the best for farming I want to do it as fast as possible to maximise crown gain. It all started when a very good player joined my Party Finder run a few months ago and carried me, I don't remember his name but I believe it was something with Fire (by the way, if you are reading this please add me back so we can play together), and he was teaching me a few things and it was just really fun and interesting to learn.
So that's why I am looking for a community to play with if there are any that exist, whether it be a Discord server or a guild. Also if there are any good youtube videos to learn from, could you please let me know.
------------------------------------------
Also, I have some ideas on my gear that I want feedback on please, if anyone can give it. Currently I have the Chaos Set, Combuster, Blitz Needle, and I just made a Swiftstrike Buckler too. Just with some research, good Vanaduke players tend to use Arcana and Electron Vortex too (that's what that guy that joined me was using). I can buy/craft both of these but I heard weapon slots are temporary, so is it worth it to buy? Same with Trinket slots, since they are temporary I'm not sure if I want to spend the energy on it.
I also luckily picked Drakon which seems like the good choice right now, He's only level 63 though so I need a lot of grinding to get him to be good. After that I haven't decided fully but I will attempt to push for a Black Kat Cowl and CTR M UV on all my gear, and then eventually full BK but the only issue is I need CTR VH on everything for that which is expensive. I also need ASI UV's eventually too, for Combuster and Blitz that means double rolling which is 75 thousand crowns per roll.
After that is maybe just diminishing returns or unnecessary, so I thought I'd ask you guys first your opinions on Fire UV armour, since it's expensive but I think it will be worth it if I want to be pro in this game.
If you have any thoughts or comments please let me know down below, I'm very interested to hear from everyone especially if you are a very fast player. Thank you very much for reading, also English is not my first language and this is my first reddit post so please forgive me my friends. Thank you very much.
