In any case, either purchase via trade or make it an empower it yourself, get a full T7 set that's empowered to E10 before anything else. Then, you can finally start continuing slowly through the questline, and start to get some real daily income. | In any case, either purchase via trade or make it an empower it yourself, get a full T7 set that's empowered to E10 before anything else.

- | Having the complete T7 set with all E10 is not quite enough to max kill (15) steamdrakes and deathwhispers yet. Just by following the bare minimums stated in the guide: we should get everything at 10*, which means 113% allstat. If you have bought some T7 equipment from the trade chat, that means you should have close to 120% allstat. Sadly, this is not sufficient if we want to max kill them both for the daily quests (and you really should). | + | Having the complete T7 set with all E10 is not quite enough to max kill (15) steamdrakes and deathwhispers yet.

- | Now we have truly entered the horror RNG part of the game: the wild world of allstat empowering. The start of this isn't actually punishing at all. At most, you'll lose 1 empower level. However, when you attempt to step further than 11*, you may get the horrible -2 empower level hit. This is also the area where you finally get to buy and use Skasix. | + | Now we have truly entered the horror RNG part of the game: the wild world of allstat empowering.

Just as before, prepare your stash, focused on T6 augments this time, with a dash of T7 upgrade materials (which is also our goal incidentally). Pushing everything to E11 and the augments to E12-13 will get you to the desired allstat count. | Just as before, prepare your stash, focused on T6 augments this time, with a dash of T7 upgrade materials (which is also our goal incidentally).

With this, I finish the guide with my only advice for T8: prepare for a very slow advancement. You are limited by your income and by the daily 4th dungeon in this phase. This will also be the point where the extreme divergence of playstyles will become apparent. That's why the end game guide will be seperated into different playstyles. | With this, I finish the guide with my only advice for T8: prepare for a very slow advancement.
