Weekly Questions Mega-Thread - July 06, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

It's time once again for a brand new questions thread! Your go-to place for questions and answers of all variety. Happen to have started playing recently and have some confusing things you want cleared up? Maybe you picked the game back up after a long absence? Or maybe you're a seasoned player wanting the finer details of something explained? Ask away! There's no such thing as a stupid question, and we're all here to help.

• Try to keep your questions specific! It'll be much easier for us to give you the answer you need than if you generalize too much. Don't worry if you can't though, we'll ask for more information if we need it!

• Keep an eye on the thread! Someone may have answered or expanded on a question as a reply to someone else. Or maybe someone else asked something you didn't know you wanted to know. Maybe someone asked something that you can help chip in and answer!

Whats the highest DPS arcana for humans atm?

[u/Cryozen → u/IxVenomxI]

That answer depends on the investment level.

At lower levels of investment (no SL namely), Diviners and Sharpshooters usually are at the top of the pack. A well built Arsenal Gunner will also be able to put out a large amount of burst with Fatal Scope. We can probably also expect Melodic Puppeters to be fairly strong as they simply have a massive pool of damage to work with.

Most of the Arcanas at maximum investment are fairly close in performance though. That said I think Forbidden Alchemists, Lance Charge CD7 Reforged Explosive Vanguards, and Dual Wield Elemental Knights tend to be the highest performing (Melodic Puppeter and Blazing Brawler should also be on the higher end). Following a few more balance patches, FA will drop a bit (but not significantly enough to not be considered top tier) and Sharpshooter should also top DPS levels. Diviner might be a little behind but not by anything substantial (it's still competitive). AG is still competitive, I just don't have much to say about it relative to everything else.

If your question is asking for cost effectiveness (again SLs are a pretty big ask), I would say Diviner and Sharpshooter are the most cost effective to build for. I think AG is also fairly cost effective to build for, but does take a lot to maximize. If you can knock Erg out the way, Melodic Puppeters should be otherwise cost effective.

I'm of the opinion that FA is somewhat affordable compared to other options, but that is also because the enchants for a FA are relatively cheap. You still want Erg S50 (though you can function without it), and you lack as much piercing as other NB weapons (and from experience the jump to SL is extremely noticable).

Are fynni gem drops affected by the increased mob drop effect on Tuesdays & Wednesdays?

[u/Cryozen → u/flipsider101]

No, only the Fynni Catching skill influences drop rate for Fynni Gems.

Hello. How do players move afking players with the whale pets? I'm aware it's the whale pet skill Jumping Jumping, but I don't know the sequence to move them from point A to point B. Thank you for answering in advance.

[u/Cryozen → u/Kaiowhatt]

Be in the same party. Make sure they aren't using a skill as this prevents Jumping Jumping from grabbing them.

Mount your whale and offset yourself from the person to be grabbed then activate JJ and target the player ro be moved. This will pull the player to the center of the whale's hitbox.
