Honkai Star Rail 3.2: What Worth To Expect? - New Pets, Characters And More

WoW The Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary is launching in less than two weeks! Have you saved enough gold to prepare for the new servers? If the answer is yes, then congratulations, you can take a break and focus on other things.

If you haven't saved enough yet, this guide will introduce some fast gold making methods for both new and experienced players. Check it out!

Gold Making Methods for Beginners

If you're a new player or have just created an alt, the following recommended gold farming locations cover all levels from 1 to 20. These locations will allow you to easily accumulate initial gold while leveling up, without slowing you down, and will help you build a solid economic foundation before entering Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary.

Levels 1 - 5

Location:

Alliance: Elwynn Forest

Horde: Durotar, Mulgore, Tirisfal Glades

Monster Type: Humanoid

Main Rewards:

Linen Cloth

vendor trash

small amount of Copper

Humanoids spawn very quickly and are abundant in this area, making it ideal for acquiring Linen Cloth. Linen Cloths are in high demand early in the game and circulates quickly on the auction house. Here you can not only level up quickly and accumulate experience points, but also build up starting capital for your character.

Levels 5 - 10

Location:

Alliance: Elwynn Forest

Horde: Mulgore, Tirisfal Glades

Monster Type: Wolf

Main Rewards:

Stringy Wolf Meat

Small Egg

Stringy Wolf Meat is an important ingredient for early cooking. Many players upgrade their Cooking Profession at low levels, making this item very popular on the auction house.

Small Eggs dropped by birds in the vicinity can also be used for cooking. Although relatively inexpensive, they are easy to obtain and respawn quickly, making them quite substantial to accumulate during leveling.

At this stage, you should choose some professions to maximize your gold earnings. Skinning and Mining are both very suitable for beginners, as they will help you accumulate resources in the early stages of the game.

Level 10 - 14

Location:

Alliance: Westfall

Horde: Barrens

Monster Type: Humanoid

Main Rewards:

Linen Cloth

Wool Cloth

Green Items

Silver

Light Feather

This gold making spot is perfect for players level 10–14. Humanoids will be a stable source of gold, from which you can obtain large amounts of Linen Cloth and Wool Cloth.

Wool Cloth is in high demand in Tailoring and First Aid, and circulates quickly on the auction house. Light Feather can be used to upgrade multiple class abilities, so it can fetch a good price.

Levels 14 - 16

Location:

Alliance: Loch Modan

Horde: Silverpine Forest

Monster Types: Troggs, Loch Modan

Main Rewards:

Wool Cloth

green items

vendor trash

Silver

These locations have a very high monster density and a very fast respawn rate, making them ideal for continuous mob pulling. You'll have almost no downtime here; it's all about constant fighting, looting, and steadily accumulating gold while gaining experience. It's an outstanding balance between leveling up and making gold efficiently.

Levels 16 - 18

Location:

Alliance: Westfall, Darkshore

Horde: Barrens

Monster Types: Murlocs

Main Rewards:

Clam Meat

Iridescent Pearl

green items

Silver

After looting on land, shift your focus to the coastline. This spawn point primarily farms Murlocs and Clams. A word of caution: it's recommended to open every clam you catch, as it has a chance to drop an Iridescent Pearl, a very valuable item.

This making method doesn't rely on any Professor; it simply involves continuous killing and looting, making it suitable for classes with AoE (area of ​​effect) abilities.

Levels 17 - 20

Location: Redridge Mountains

Monster Type: Dire Condor

Main Reward:

Tough Condor Meat

Tough Condor Meat is highly sought after; it's essential for Badlands Inhabitants quest, which requires 5 pieces per run. Because few players specifically make this item, its price is considerable. While killing Dire Condors, you can also kill Murlocs along the nearby coastline to further increase your rewards.

Level 18 - 20

Location: Stonetalon Mountains, Sishir Canyon

Monster Type: Spiders

Main Reward:

Spider Silk

This area is hyper-spawn, so if you play it well, you can earn gold very efficiently. While the drop rate of Spider Silkfrom a single spider is low, the number you can kill per hour is enormous, resulting in very stable overall earnings. Spider Silk is an important material for tailoring and first aid supplies, so demand is very high in the early game.

However, many players overlook its value due to the low yield of Spider Silk, making this a very low-competition farming spot and a severely underrated, highly efficient gold making location. It's perfect for players looking for a simple, repeatable, and efficient way to make gold while leveling up.

Advanced Gold Making Methods

If you already have a certain initial accumulation, such as a stable gold balance of around 2000-4000, you can further develop a new profession to earn even more money. Alchemy is the preferred choice here.

Why Alchemy?

First, Alchemy has a very low start-up cost. Many materials are almost useless wild herbs, making the cost nearly zero. Furthermore, the potions you make can be traded with merchants, so you're basically not losing money.

Moreover, if you discover a high-value recipe, you can produce it in large quantities, making it a stable, long-term way to earn money. In addition, Super Mana Potions and healing/damage potions are always in demand, allowing you to quickly earn gold without relying on the auction house.

Gold-Making Path

After choosing Alchemy, you can obtain gold by gathering raw materials in the wild to make potions or by killing monsters. Initially, you only need to make popular trainer recipes like Super Mana Potion. If you discover powerful elixirs, only make those powerful elixirs and rely on critical hits to make big money.

Once you have a stable source of funds, you can learn Jewelcrafting, one of the most profitable professions in TBC Anniversary. However, upgrading Jewelcrafting is very expensive, so make sure you have sufficient capital.

Once you start Jewelcrafting, as long as you play normally, gold will flow into your character continuously. At this point, you can consider learning essential skills in WoW TBC, such as Flight.

This guide covers methods for quickly making gold before TBC Anniversary. Having a lot of gold is always a good thing, as it ensures you won't have to worry about survival for at least a while after entering the new era. Have fun playing!

The highly anticipated Genshin Impact 6.3 officially launched on January 14th, bringing players a wealth of exciting new content, new characters, and new challenges.

Furthermore, the annual Lantern Rite will return from January 30th to February 23rd, offering players limited-time content and rewards. Don't forget to participate!

Let's take a look at what new content Luna 4 has in store for us!

New Characters

Version 6.3 adds three new playable characters, each with unique gameplay and team synergy potential.

1. Columbina Hyposelenia

Columbina is a 5-star Hydro character. As the only surviving Moon Maiden from Teyvat, she excels at using Hydro Catalyst, making her ideal for team compositions centered around Lunar Reactions.

Her skill set focuses on support and off-field Hydro elemental casting, making her a better fit for teams built around Lunar Reactions (a new elemental reaction mechanic introduced in patch 6.3).

She's currently the focus of Phase 1 banner, and many players want to acquire her.

2. Zibai

Zibai is a 5-star Geo Sword user, positioned as the main DPS in the team, and has extremely strong synergy with Lunar-Crystallize teams.

Her primary attack method utilizes her normal attacks and special status effects from her elemental skills, allowing her to frequently deal Geo and Lunar-Crystallize damage.

Zibai will officially debut in Phase 2 and will have her own exclusive banner.

3. Illuga

Illuga is a Geo elemental support character whose weapon is the 4-star Geo Polearm.

He can function as a general Geo damage booster or a Lunar team damage booster. His skill set is well-suited for general Geo damage, but joining a Lunar team unlocks more skills. Illuga will make his debut in Phase Two, appearing as one of the banner characters.

These three new characters will inject fresh blood into players' teams. If your Primogems are limited, choose your desired characters carefully.

However, due to the randomness of banner draws, it's recommended to use Genshin Impact Top Up to help you secure your desired characters.

Map Expansion

In Genshin Impact 6.3, the expansion of Nod-Krai is a major highlight that enhances the player's gaming and exploration experience.

The official expansion adds locations such as Piramida City and Lake Amsvartnir to Nod-Krai region.

This not only provides players with opportunities to explore a new world but also introduces more resources and backstory related to the Nod-Krai region.

As with previous map expansions, reaching a certain percentage of exploration within a limited time (usually around 80 days) will reward players with a certain number of Primogems.

New Weapons and Skins

With the addition of new characters, Luna 4 introduces new weapons and artifacts.

Weapons:

• Nocturne's Curtain Cal (Columbina's Signature Weapon)
• Lightbearing Moonshard (Zibai's Signature Weapon)

Artifacts:

• Aubade of Morningstar and Moon
• A Day Carved From Rising Winds

In addition to weapons and equipment, this update also brings new skins:

• Free Traveler Skins: Unlocked by completing Archon Quest - "True Moon";
• Free Yaoyao Skin: Unlocked by participating in Lantern Rite event minigame;
• Paid Neuvillette Skin: Requires 1,340 Genesis Crystals.

New Quests and Bosses

This update, themed "A Traveler on a Winter's Night," continues the story of Nod-Krai, an epilogue to Archon Quest questline.

The new Archon Quests are known as Acts 7 and 8, and the story picks up where Song of the Welkin Moon Act 6 left off. So you have to complete Act 6 to unlock the new content.

After completing the quests, players will finally face Il Dottore in an epic new battle, making his debut as a new weekly boss. Defeating him will drop unique materials that help your character ascend.

Furthermore, while exploring new areas, you may encounter a new world boss, Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares. Defeating him may drop Ascension materials from Zibai or Illuga.

New Events

Genshin Impact 6.3 brings players a variety of events and generous rewards.

A Lanternlit Ode to the Silver Moon

During the grand Lantern Rite event, travelers will return to Liyue to participate in various mini-games:

Ley Line Overflow

This is a rerunning periodic event that will begin on February 16th, 2026, and continue until February 23rd, 2026.

During the event, you can invite your friends to farm Ley Lines together. Defeating enemies will earn you rewards, and using Original Resin will grant even higher rewards.

These are the most important pieces of information you need to know about Genshin Impact 6.3. From its launch until the end of February, there are plenty of events to help you accumulate a lot of Primogems - opportunities like this don't come around often, so don't miss out!

We hope all travelers have a wonderful adventure during this period!

Gear is an indispensable element in any MMORPG, and obtaining rare and suitable equipment is something every player should be happy about.

Unlike traditional MMORPGs with fixed and predictable item drop rates, Ashes of Creation introduces a unique drop mechanism. Players must understand these mechanisms to maximize their chances of obtaining stable gear.

Therefore, I will guide you through a detailed analysis of the key factors affecting gear drops in Ashes of Creation and provide practical tips to help you maximize your equipment acquisition efficiency.

What factors affect gear drops?

1. Party Luck Rating

Contrary to a common misconception, party size does not affect gear drop rates. This needs clarification.

What truly affects drop rates is the accumulated Luck Rating within the party. Ashes of Creation has a status attribute called Luck, and each member of the party has their own Luck Rating.

The game uses the cumulative average Luck Rating of all players to determine the quality of items dropped by enemies, such as rare Ashes of Creation items or double gold.

However, since Ashes of Creation has not yet been fully released, the specific mechanism by which Luck Rating affects drop rates is not yet publicly disclosed in the current Early Access version, and this is a hidden attribute that players cannot directly view.

2. Level difference between players and monsters

In AoC, level difference is one of the most important factors affecting gear drops. The game uses a level system where the difference between the player's level and the monster's level affects drop efficiency.

If your character's level is significantly higher or lower than the monster's, the item drop rate will decrease. The specific mechanism is as follows:

• If the average level of the party is no more than 5 levels higher than the monster's level, the drop rate is the highest;
• If any player in the party is more than 9 levels higher than the monster, the drop rate and experience points will be significantly reduced or even completely eliminated.

This mechanism encourages players to challenge monsters of similar levels, creating a more balanced and rewarding gaming experience.

However, it also means that while challenging higher-level monsters grants experience points faster, item drop rates are significantly reduced.

3. Player priorities

The unique aspect of Ashes of Creation is that it forces players to make a choice: prioritize leveling up or focus on consistently acquiring gear?

If you want to level up quickly, you might need to challenge monsters several levels higher than your party to gain a large amount of XP; however, this drastically reduces your chances of obtaining the gear you need.

On the other hand, if you want to acquire gear first, you need to challenge monsters of similar levels to ensure a higher drop rate. However, this results in slower experience gain and slower leveling.

How to obtain consistent gear drops?

1. Optimize party composition

First, you need to optimize your party's Luck Rating, prioritizing players with high Luck Ratings. While you can't directly see the exact value of your Luck stat, over time you'll find that teams with stable drop rates tend to consist of players of similar levels and Luck stats.

Team members should cooperate. If you're unsure of your Luck stat, try different team configurations and observe if there are significant differences in drop rates.

2. Maintain level balance

Keep your team's overall level 3-5 levels higher than the monster's level. For example, if you're challenging a level 26 monster, try to team up so that the average level of your team is between 23 and 25. This ensures optimal experience and equipment drops.

Don't be too high-level. While farming high-level monsters grants experience faster, it reduces item drop efficiency. For a more balanced farming experience, choose monsters of similar levels to yourself.

How to obtain Gear?

The factors mentioned generally only affect the method players use to obtain Gear through monster farming. Ashes of Creation offers multiple ways to acquire equipment. If you want to consistently obtain rare equipment, you'll need multiple methods working together.

Here are the detailed methods for obtaining gears in Ashes of Creation:

• Open World Bosses: Defeating bosses in the game drops rare set equipment, perfect for team farming.
• Guild Activities: Completing guild quests or objectives may reward you with exclusive gear items.
• Dungeon Drops: When farming dungeons, you may obtain partial equipment sets. To obtain the remaining parts, you need to re-enter the dungeon and farm again.
• Quests and Achievements: Some equipment sets may only be unlocked after completing story milestones.
• Exploring Special Content: Some rare monsters, chests, and secret events in the game may yield special gears.
• Crafting Professions: Once you master a crafting profession, you can create your own equipment in Artisan System, your most important source of gear.

These are the methods for reliably obtaining equipment drops in Ashes of Creation. By optimizing your team's Luck Rating, managing level differences effectively, and clearly defining your own goals, you can maximize your equipment drop rate.

Whether you're preparing for endgame content or simply looking to acquire the best gear for your character, keep experimenting and combining different approaches to make your Vera journey smoother!

In fact, after Arc Raiders announced the end of Cold Snap, the community's reaction was not one of regret, but rather anticipation for the next major update with more new content. This was partly due to the poor quality of previous updates, and partly due to a natural curiosity about new things.

Although the developers have not released any announcements about the next update, numerous leaks suggest that Arc Raiders in the first quarter of 2026 may be a bombshell for the first-person shooter and loot & extraction strategy game markets. So what can we specifically expect from the next update patch?

Recently, Virgil Watkins, the design director at the game's developer, gave an interview in which he revealed several modifications and additions that will be made to Arc Raiders in its future development, which covers many aspects, including game difficulty, trading system, and skill tree. So here we will introduce them to you one by one.

Arc Enemies are More Difficult

Since players complained extensively about the extreme imbalance between PvP and PvE in Arc Raiders, the developers have been trying to find ways to address this issue, such as adding a map with more Arc Raiders blueprint rewards to attract more raiders and improve PvP atmosphere.

As well as, efforts were made to increase the crackdown on cheating in order to improve the fairness of PvP in the game. However, unfortunately, these measures were only temporary solutions, and the players were still not satisfied. Given that, the developers proposed an even more extreme improvement - ​​increasing the difficulty of killing Arc bots.

Nowadays, using low-cost or even free loadouts to repeatedly farm bosses like Queen and Matriarch to obtain dropped crafting materials and loot has become a common game loop for most players. This is not inherently wrong, but it can lead some players to cleverly avoid all PvP content that could result in death or loss of loot by using this loop.

Over time, the balance between PvE and PvP in the game will become increasingly unbalanced; and the developers' decision to increase the difficulty of all Arc enemies will require players to seek more tips and strategies to cope with all the challenges, and they may even gradually find that PvP is easier than killing these bosses.

According to Watkins, the developers plan to add variations of some of the current Arc bosses in future updates, such as adding more shields, enabling them to cause damage in conjunction with environmental threats, and refining their attack methods. He also proposed the idea of ​​placing map-specific enemies on other types of maps or the initial map.

It must be said that while this approach of directly increasing the game's difficulty is effective, it carries a very high risk and can easily lead some novice or casual players to quit the game altogether. Therefore, this greatly tests the developers' adjustment strategies. They cannot increase the level too much to prevent player attrition, nor can they increase it too little to avoid dissatisfaction among high-level players.

New Game Scenes

Next come even more detailed game scenarios, which the developers have remained silent about, but players have found a ton of leaked information. Some players found the weekly trial content, which was to be released on January 26, by changing the system time on their PCs. One of the tasks required players to scavenge in Toxic Swamp.

Based on the fact that Cold Snap released a snow map that matches the update's name, players reasonably speculate that the map mod that might be released in the next update is Toxic Swamp, which may contain some debuffs that can poison or slow down characters, just like how characters can freeze to death in the snow.

In addition, some players have recently noticed that the location where a powerful Arc enemy was placed near Blue Gate has been replaced by thick black smoke. This makes it hard not to speculate whether there is a volcano about to erupt behind the scenes, and that more game scenes covered in volcanic lava may appear.

Trade Fairs are More Humane

In the interview, Virgil also responded to the trading methods that players have been concerned about. He said that it is unlikely that the auction house will be introduced into Arc Raiders now, but the subsequent trading process may be more personal and social, rather than just a simple exchange.

For example, if you now want to share Arc Raiders blueprints or other valuable gear with some players before entering a raid, you can only drop it on the ground and wait for a designated player to pick it up, which is very much like giving alms. After the changes, you may see that you can trade specific items with your opponent and express your feelings through gestures or facial expressions during the process.

Skill Tree Update

Finally, Virgil Watkins also mentioned RPG aspect of this unique FPS game, suggesting that some skill points, which have long been criticized by the player community for being useless, may be enhanced or eliminated, but he could not guarantee that they would be released in the next update.

Meanwhile, the extra skill points awarded to adventurous players for each Expedition will increase with the number of times they participate. Some players have also requested that the developers raise the character level cap so that they can earn more usable skill points, but from an individual perspective, this possibility is very slim.

These are some of the update details revealed by Arc Raiders developers in an interview. Frankly, players are tired of hearing about all the possibilities and plans; they just want to see results. So, Arc Raiders, hurry up and release the next major update, and deliver on all your promises!

Marcelo TOTY Card Review

Compared to the previously released Base Icon Marcelo (89 OVR) and Champions Icon Marcelo (89 OVR), TOTY Marcelo (92 OVR) shows significant improvements in Pace, Shooting, Defending, and Physical.

This makes Marcelo the strongest left-back in FUT 26, and almost impossible for any other player to surpass before TOTS. It’s expensive, but incredibly worthwhile.

TOTY Marcelo's most striking feature is his Anticipate + Jockey + Intercept playing style setup. This combination is perfect for a full-back, ensuring defensive stability while greatly expanding attacking options. Not to mention his 91 acceleration and 90 defensive ability, making this card virtually unstoppable on the field.

When attacking, TOTY Marcelo’s presence is also extremely strong. He can not only execute traditional overlapping runs but also frequently cut inside to midfield and even participate in playmaking and breakthroughs on the edge of the penalty area. Combined with his excellent rolling ability, his dribbling is incredibly smooth.

As a left-back, his ball control and footwork have completely surpassed the traditional full-back category.

If you enjoy playing him as a playmaking Falseback or an attacking Wingback, his passing, dribbling, especially his Tiki-Taka and technical abilities will definitely not disappoint. If you also have Ronaldinho, this duo will be unstoppable on the field.

Is he worth it?

Currently, TOTY Marcelo costs approximately 1.7 million FUT 26 coins and requires many FOD players with ratings of 89-90, making the acquisition cost not low. However, considering TOTY event, this price is reasonable.

Furthermore, compared to other mainstream left-backs like Théo Bernard François Hernandez, Marcelo has significant advantages in technique, ball control, attack, and defense. In the current version, there are almost no truly comparable alternatives.

If you feel it's not the right time to acquire him, you can rent this card to experience it first. Once you get used to his rhythm, this card may very well become your most satisfying investment in the entire TOTY event.

Overall, FC 26 TOTY Icon Marcelo isn't just a nice-looking nostalgia card; he's a top-tier player who can truly change the way the left flank plays. His offensive prowess is undeniable among left-backs, and he's equally reliable defensively. This card is currently the most recommended acquiring in EA FUT 26.

However, you can also look forward to seeing what powerful lineups you'll get from today's TOTY Icons Team 2. Good luck with opening packs and upgrading during TOTY!

In ARC Raiders, Tempest, an epic-rarity assault rifle, deals considerable damage to both ARC and enemy raiders. Many players covet it for its powerful combat capabilities in raids.

However, with the latest patch, Tempest blueprint has become one of the rarest items in ARC Raiders, with an extremely low drop rate. Currently, the best way to obtain Tempest blueprint is by completing Night Raids on Buried City map.

Next, I will guide you on how to obtain the blueprint and craft the powerful Tempest in the game.

Best locations for obtaining blueprints

Buried City is the best location to obtain Tempest blueprint. While Tempests may drop on other maps, the drop rate is extremely low. Therefore, we will focus on Buried City for now. Below are the key areas you should focus on during Night Raids.

1. Grandioso Apartments

Grandioso Apartments consists of two almost identical buildings, each with multiple floors. You need to quickly enter the buildings and loot all available containers. These apartments are known for their high density of valuable loot, including Tempest Blueprint.

After clearing one building, cross the makeshift bridge to another and repeat the above steps. Be sure to search carefully and don't miss any drawers or cabinets.

2. Building near Abandoned Highway Camp

This building is located near the abandoned highway camp. There are roadblocks in front of both doors; you'll need to break through them to enter.

Inside the building are several drawers and filing cabinets, which usually contain high-value loot, including blueprints. Search the entire building, as blueprints sometimes appear in hidden containers.

3. Plaza Rosa Pharmacy

There's a pharmacy in Plaza Rosa area, located directly north of the extraction point. The pharmacy has three floors, and loot can be hidden on each floor.

Pay special attention to the white lockers; blueprints might be hidden there. However, be aware that other players frequently appear in this location, and other raiders might try to steal your loot.

4. Red Tower Loot Room

Red Tower is another well-known loot location in Buried City. On the second floor, you'll find a small room with multiple lockers, especially some Security Lockers.

These lockers may spawn high-level loot. Many raiders tend to overlook this area, so looting early increases your chances of finding blueprints.

5. Santa Maria Houses

Santa Maria Houses are a group of buildings with skylights. Entering one of the buildings allows you to access rooms through the skylights.

The rooms contain drawers and even Security Breach lockers. Carefully search each room to increase your chances of finding blueprints.

6. Space Travel Building

Space Travel Building is also a high-value loot location in Buried City. This building is quite large, and the highest probability of finding blueprints is on the ground floor and the sixth floor.

The ground floor has many lockers, while the sixth floor has drawers that may contain valuable items, including blueprints. You can search these two areas first. If you happen to find Tempest Blueprint, don't linger; evacuate as quickly as possible.

Besides obtaining the blueprint through looting during raids, you can also buy ARC Raiders Tempest Blueprint in EZG, which is cheap and reliable. This blueprint is extremely rare; many players try multiple times without success.

Efficient map farming techniques

Since Buried City often attracts many raiders during Night Raids, it's impossible to loot the entire map in one go. Therefore, you need to master the most efficient map farming methods within a limited time.

• Avoid carrying valuable equipment: Remember, you're here to loot, not to fight. Don't bring high-level weapons and equipment.
• Loot the nearest locations: After spawning, quickly loot the two nearest locations. Places further away will be looted by other players before you even reach them.
• Surrender after looting: After successfully looting one or two locations, quickly surrender and queue for the next match.
• Stay alert for PvP: Other players are also vying for loot, so be constantly aware of potential dangers.

Night Raids only last about an hour each time, so you need to quickly repeat the looting process until you finally obtain the blueprint from ARC Raiders or Night Raid session ends.

Crafting Tempest

Once you successfully find the blueprint, you can begin crafting Tempest.

Here's the recipe:

• 1 Magnetic Accelerator
• 3 Medium Gun Parts
• 2 Exodus Modules

Magnetic Accelerator and Exodus Modules can be found in the red lockers on Stella Montis map or in Rocket Assembly building on Spaceport map.

Medium Gun Parts can be obtained by defeating small ARC enemies, such as Hornets and Wasps. You can also try exchanging them at Celeste.

Once you have all the necessary materials, you can successfully craft Tempest in Gunsmith 3. You can then upgrade it to make the gun even more powerful.

Tempest has become one of the most popular weapons in ARC Raiders, but finding its blueprint and successfully crafting it is a challenging and time-consuming task.

Be patient, and good luck finding Tempest Blueprint!
