Ever since Monopoly Go launched Bon Appétit sticker album, themed around global food, players have been eagerly anticipating what other themed events the developers will add, and the latest is Chef’s Quest event, which is currently underway.
The event launched in-game at 4 PM ET on September 14th and is expected to end at 1 PM ET on September 16th, featuring 62 milestones to reach and incredible rewards, such as cash, free dice, sticker packs with tons of Monopoly Go cards, flash events and more.
While the milestones offered by this type of single-player banner event are still numerous, it is worth noting that the rewards are greater than those in previous albums. If you’re looking to explore it and aim for the highest-tier rewards, this guide will explain how to play Chef’s Quest event, the rewards it offers, and the exploration strategies available within it.
The gameplay of this Chef’s Quest event is essentially the same as the previous single-player banner event. You rely on your board tokens landing on specific tiles to obtain corresponding point rewards. The specific tiles this time are: Chance, Community Chest and Railroad Tile. The number of points they provide is:
Of course, the number of points you ultimately receive will be affected by the dice multiplier you choose when rolling the dice. The higher the multiplier, the greater your potential for more points. However, this comes with a certain risk, as you can’t always guarantee that your tokens will land on the event tile.
Once your dice are used up, it will not only affect your exploration of this single-player banner event, but also affect your play in other events in Monopoly Go, because they also need your dice to advance. Therefore, try to reduce the frequent use of high multipliers as much as possible, or wait until specific circumstances to use them.
Regarding rewards, the 62 milestones of this Chef’s Quest event include 18,705 free dice, 725 tokens for Peg-E Prize Drop event active at the same time, 4 sticker packs, 4 types of flash events, and a lot of cash. These all require you to redeem 43,475 points. The following is a list of specific milestones.
Now that you understand the gameplay and rewards, let’s provide you with corresponding strategies for exploring Chef’s Quest event. First of all, we need to determine that the most worthy of our attention among these three specific tiles is Railroad Tile, on the one hand because it can provide you with a higher base point reward.
And on the other hand it can also provide you with the points required for the milestone rewards given to you by the tournament. So when you are 6-8 tiles away from the tile, you can use some high multipliers to maximize the score rewards it can provide you, which will bring you more sticker packs, cash and free dice.
Also regarding rewards, since we’re already in the middle of Bon Appétit sticker album, most players have already completed their collection of sticker sets, so you might consider focusing on getting other rewards like free dice, cash, and Peg-E Tokens in Chef’s Quest event. This will make your exploration of other events more comfortable.
But this doesn’t mean you should stop paying attention to sticker packs. Instead, you need to collect as many of them as possible and wait for Sticker Boom flash event to arrive, which will double the number of Monopoly Go stickers you can get. The above is all about Chef’s Quest event. I hope you can enjoy the fun of cooking and get a lot of rewards in this event. I wish you a happy game.
Since Path of Exile 2 patch 0.3.0 adds a new Act and Interludes for players, the number of enemies and bosses encountered by players will also increase accordingly. The most special one is probably the encounter you have with Sigbert of the Sullied Oath and Godwin of the Shattered Creed, the second duo boss fight in the newly added Interludes.
In this battle, you need to fight these two powerful knights at the same time. While this encounter is optional in POE 2, the Interludes leading to the endgame that include it can reward you with a lot of loot and in-game currency that you may need later, so it’s still worth a try. Until you reach Holden Estates.
Since your fight with Sigbert and Godwin this time is a bit difficult, this guide will provide you with the specific locations of these two bosses, their combat moves, and available combat strategies, which will allow you to reduce the number of deaths in them and increase the possibility of obtaining more loot. Without further ado, start preparing for your battle!
Sigbert and Godwin, two seemingly innocuous but powerful bosses, are located in a church in Holten map in Path of Exile 2. This map connects Wolvenhold to Holden Estates, the final location of the story presented in Interlude.
So in general, the arena you can stand in is not that wide, so you need to improve your mobility in advance and pay special attention to your elemental resistance, because both bosses will cast elemental-themed AOE attacks, which will increase your chances of taking damage in a small room.
If you’ve fought Candlemass, the Living Rite in Act 1, you’re in luck, as the two battles are very similar in many ways: both take place in a church, and both require you to spend POE 2 currency in advance to upgrade gear that increases movement/attack speed and elemental resistance.
Back to the location of bosses. Due to the unique map mechanism of POE 2, the layout of the map you enter at different times will be different, so it is impossible to directly guide you to the church. However, from the guides provided by some players, it can be concluded that the church is closer to Holden Estates than Wolvenhold.
Next, let’s look at some attacks Sigbert and Godwin will use. Since their attacks can sometimes be performed simultaneously and rotate constantly, be careful to avoid them.
Since Sigbert focuses on ice damage and Godwin focuses on fire damage, you should try to increase the resistance of these two elements in your build. Also, consider placing some skills that can summon minions to help you finish the battle, because there is too much area damage here, and it is easy to get into these areas if you challenge it alone.
Besides, Godwin’s lava waves are one move you need to pay special attention to, because it will stack with other area damage to deal more serious damage to you. When he starts stomping, you can either roll over before the lava wave erupts, or you can stand back and stand in the middle of the lava wave, both strategies will work.
Another thing to note is the fire wave that Godwin creates when he slams his fist into the ground. It not only deals fire damage to you, but also temporarily reduces your movement speed and slows down your resource generation. So when he raises his hands, just roll past him. If he’s too far away, roll to the side.
The only thing you have to watch out for with Sigbert is the melee ice damage it deals when it slams the ground, which you need to roll to avoid. As well as slow slams, the sustained damage it causes can be quite frustrating. In this case, consider using crowd control or area damage skills to stun them and deal area damage, so you can safely wear down their health.
These are the details for the boss encounters with Sigbert and Godwin in the new Interlude, added in Path of Exile 2 patch 0.3.0. While the sequel’s combat difficulty has long been a source of complaints, it’s worth noting that some encounters have been significantly reduced in difficulty since the release of patch 0.3.0. Perhaps the developers have realized their mistake. Anyway, happy gaming!
In the previous Borderlands series of games, Sirens has always been one of the best classes chosen by the most players, and this tradition is also the case in the recently launched Borderlands 4. Vex is the resident Siren in this new game, so both newcomers and veterans prefer to start their exploration with this character.
However, it must be pointed out that Borderlands 4 is an action-playing game, so while focusing on shooting, you should also select some appropriate skills, weapons, and gear for it during the exploration process to make your character more combat-effective.
Since there are currently many build options available to you in the game, in order to save you the time and effort of trying them one by one, here are some options for the best Vex build, including skills, weapons, and gear. Of course, these can be modified according to your play style, and everything is based on your gaming convenience.
The first type of option we’d like to introduce is skills. Based on player feedback, allowing Vex to fully utilize elemental and status effect damage is the easiest way to build a strong skill tree. Although both effects can be achieved by using any of 3 Action Skills, it is highly recommended that you make corresponding adjustments based on the weapons you choose later.
For example, if you are using corrosive damage-dealing weapons, then Dead Ringer Action Skill and some skills in its tree are perfect pairings with such weapons because they maximize the potential of status effect damage.
The best skills recommended for you on Dead Ringer skill tree are Portents of Suffering and Prismatic Ichor, which are more suitable for early game content for emphasizing and enhancing Status Effect damage; Blight Attunement and Necrosis, which can enhance your Corrosive emphasis in the endgame.
Don’t forget to use Wither as your Augment and place Grim Reaper in your Capstone skill slot, both of which can further enhance your status effect damage. In the endgame, unlock as many Killer branches as possible, with Killer, Contamination, Compounding Afflictions, and Overkill being worth your special attention.
If you want Status Effect boosts, consider digging into other skill trees. For example Incarnate’s Bloodletter skill is a good option. It should be noted that since this skill tree may be different from Vex’s in terms of exploration style or combat style, if you want to make it more suitable for your needs, remember to invest more Borderlands 4 Money in it to upgrade it.
Once you’ve settled on your skill choices, your weapon options are pretty obvious: Ripper or Maliwan Corrosive guns, both of which deal significant elemental and status effect damage, and maximize the scaling of Vex’s Corrosive effects. However, since the drop rate of these two weapons in the game is relatively low, you need to farm as many times as possible in zones that can provide you with weapon item rewards.
In terms of priority, Ripper SMGs are the first choice. Although the Ripper shotgun, pistol, and sniper rifle have high strength in looting and shooting, they are not perfectly adapted to every battle, that is, their versatility is not that high, so they can be used as your auxiliary weapons. Or if possible, Heavy Weapon Ordnance, which can cause Corrosive damage, is also an option worth trying.
By the way, Corrisive elements of Vex builds will quickly deplete the enemy’s health, so generally speaking, regular firearms are enough to make you powerful. However, in some special cases, such as when you encounter an enemy that is immune or has high health, it is recommended that you convert one of them into an alternative weapon with a different status effect.
As for the Gear options introduced to you at the end, generally speaking, try to choose those that can synergize with other build options such as weapons or skills, such as Ripper Enhancement or Maliwan Enhancement, which can complement any weapon you end up using.
Additionally, you should try to pick Class Mods that improve your skills, such as those that greatly enhance Portents of Suffering, Blight Attunement, and Necrosis. While your Repkit and Armor Shield won’t have a huge impact on the effectiveness of your build, they shouldn’t be chosen haphazardly.
You should focus on Repkits with Elemental Affinity and/or Status Effect-boosting features, as well as shields that make your elemental resistances stronger. As well as Phase Clone Minions, it will be more suitable for use in single-player games, because they can act as turrets to provide support and can also be used to irritate enemies in encounters and transfer damage that would otherwise be inflicted on you to them, giving you some breathing space during the campaign.
The above are the various recommended options for the best Vex builds in Borderlands 4. Hopefully, with their help, you can complete the entire campaign faster and get more loot and experience points to achieve a rise in the rankings and gain honor. I wish you happy gaming!
After Monopoly Go launched Bon Appétit sticker album themed around global cuisine, all players were eagerly anticipating what kind of themed and interesting collectibles would be released during the album’s active period.
Luckily, the album’s first partner event, Ice Cream Partners, will give you a chance to get an Ice Cream Sundae board token, the second collectible currently themed with this album. Additionally, this event will offer you other super generous rewards, including free dice, cash, sticker packs, and more.
This partner event started at 1:00 PM EST on September 9th and is expected to end at 4:00 PM EST on September 14th, for a total of 5 days. If you haven’t started exploring it yet, you can’t miss this guide, which provides a specific introduction to the gameplay and milestone rewards included in Ice Cream Partners Event, which will make your path to receiving prizes smoother.
Like the previous partners in Monopoly Go releases, a unique icon will flash on your screen after activating Ice Cream Partners Event. After clicking and entering, you will be asked to invite an additional 4 players to fill Monopoly Go Ice Cream Partners Event Slots provided to you here, and then work together to spin the event wheel to get more points and complete 4 builds.
It is highly recommended that you choose players who are active in the game and whom you are familiar with as your teammates, because whether it is to obtain points or complete builds, you and your teammates need to work together. Once someone falls behind or is lazy, it is very likely that you will not be able to obtain the final prize. Also, if your team is not full within the specified time, the system will automatically add a random player for you, who is likely to be completely inactive.
Alternatively, you can also use some communities or social platforms to find players who meet these two conditions, so that you are all committed to the same goal. But by the way, in order to reduce the possibility of being scammed, check the player’s net assets before forming a team or reduce the possibility of leaking private information during the exploration process.
After completing the team, you can start to earn points for the event. But it is worth reminding you that each spin of the event wheel requires 20 Ice Cream Partners Event Tokens, which are the most important in-game product for you to participate in this event. At the same time, you will also be given a token multiplier here, which will affect the number of points you will ultimately receive.
But you don’t have to worry too much, this token will be scattered in various corners of the game: single-player banner events, tournaments, daily task rewards and on the board, so you can start exploring this partner activity after collecting about 200 tokens, and continue to collect as much as possible in the exploration of other activities in the future.
After understanding the gameplay of this Ice Cream Partners Event, let’s take a look at the rewards you can get. According to previous tradition, you can get corresponding milestone rewards when you complete each build and reach the specified score. You can also get the final grand prize by completing all the builds. The following is a list of the points required for all milestones and the rewards.
Note that the level 3, 4, and 5 flash events vary depending on the build you’ve unlocked, and the specific amount you receive will depend on your final reward. Additionally, with the exception of the fixed number of dice for Milestone 1 and the final grand prize, all other rewards will fluctuate based on your net worth.
Last but not least, although this Ice Cream Partners Event only provides you with two sticker packs of not too high value, Wild Sticker or Swap Pack in the ultimate prize is what you should pay special attention to, because they can be converted into any Monopoly Go Cards you need and increase your chances of getting high-value stickers.
But this doesn’t mean the yellow and blue sticker packs are useless. You can save them and wait for the fun flash event Sticker Boom to become active before opening them, which will double the number of cards generated in each sticker pack.
That concludes Ice Cream Partners Event in Monopoly Go, running from September 9th to 14th. We hope you’ll be able to join forces with your friends to earn rewards and increase your net worth in this first partnership with Bon Appétit sticker album. Have fun playing!
In the seasons before Diablo 4, not many players were willing to use Necromancer build with high damage but poor survivability to explore The Pit because the challenges contained in this game content were relatively difficult. However, it’s worth noting that this may change in Season 10 Infernal Chaos.
While most Necromancer builds become significantly less effective after reaching The Pit at level 80, a character focused on Blood Wave, which deals Damage over Time damage, might offer a surprising boost: both powerful and consistent. However, it’s worth noting that this effectiveness only works if you choose the right build options.
So, in this guide, we will specifically provide you with an excellent overview and gear options for your Diablo 4 Season 10 Blood Wave DOT Necromancer build. With the new season just a few weeks away, knowing these things in advance will help you stay ahead of the crowd and create a near-perfect build once the season begins.
Unlike the regular Necromancer build, which has a different playstyle, Blood Wave DOT Necromancer doesn’t have a specific gameplay or combat mechanics, just drowning the entire arena in a never-ending wave of red damage. So in this build, the ability to kill with one blow, the combat ability of the minions, and the defensive ability of the bone walls are not very important.
Given this, Blood Wave will be the core of the entire build, and your focus should be on how to continuously stack its continuous damage layers. Bleeds, Curses, Shadow Damage Over Time, and Vulnerability are all excellent helpers. With their combined power, mid-tier bosses in The Pit will be melted quickly without your health suffering any damage. The best part is that everything is under your control.
After understanding the general situation of the build, here we will introduce you to the gear and skill options that can be placed in it, which are the key to whether your character can have absolute strength. Let’s start with the head.
The helmet recommended here is Heir of Perdition, which can provide you with a 20% increase in Lucky Hit Chance that can make your DOT last longer and increase your Core Skills by two levels. Of course, the movement speed gain and critical hit chance gain it can provide are also reasons why it is considered the first choice.
There are actually many options for chest armor, but Shroud of False Death, which can greatly increase your chances of survival, is the best. The ability to increase Maximum Life by 800 and all stats by 160 is enough to get you through some low- to mid-tier runs of The Pit. There are also affixes that can increase your Resource Generation by 11.1%, which will make your skill casting smoother.
As for gloves, the best ones are Doom Gauntlets with Tidal Aspect, which makes your Blood Wave fire two extra waves, and the damage they deal is 200%-240% of the normal skill. In addition, the maximum health, DOT damage, lucky hit and attack speed gain of this glove will greatly increase your DPS multiple, and run the 90-tier The Pit smoothly.
Pants option is the most common Kessime’s Legacy, which can directly enhance the ability of Blood Waves, which is unmatched by other options: damage is increased and cooldown is reduced. If you have enough Diablo 4 Gold, it is highly recommended that you upgrade this unique item as much as possible, as it is only when its effectiveness is maximized that your build can reach its full potential.
The recommended Boots option for you here is Doom Treads with Aspect of the Cursed Aura. The intelligence, maximum health, armor, and movement speed gains it provides will make your Blood Wave DOT Necromancer more maneuverable and capable of handling various encounters.
You can place Aspect of Ultimate Shadow on any of your weapons as your primary weapon, which will further enhance your intelligence stats, maximum health, and resource recovery. When Tempering, try to increase the damage of Desecrated Ground and the level of Finality as much as possible, which will make your sustained damage stronger.
This is probably the most difficult slot in the entire build, as it needs to take into account the buffs of Gloom, Coalesced Blood, and Amplify Damage as much as possible, while also reducing the ultimate Cooldown Reduction as much as possible and increasing the damage of Desecrated Ground. Among the many options, only Ur-Predator Ward with Aspect of the Damned can meet all the requirements.
As for the two ring options, Warcouncil Band of Creeping Death and Vehement Brawler Inchoate Band are your best options, as they also focus on providing you with buffs to your intelligence stat, attack speed, and lucky hits to help you melt bosses faster.
The above are some recommended gear options for Blood Wave DOT Necromancer build in Diablo 4’s Season 10 Infernal Chaos, which is expected to enter on September 23. It is worth reminding you that the data provided here is based on the previously concluded PTR and may change when the new season is officially released. Everything is subject to the final release.
