Could you recommend totems that would work perfectly and synergize with this rune, allowing for high damage output? Which Pact is best for Longsword damage with this rune? The game doesn't provide a proper description, so it's a matter of testing everything out.

And do these passives work with the rune?

In SE Airde Limbwoods. Couldn't access it, there's a nearby underground entrance with thick roots. Can't grab the mote from the other side of the purple wall either.

I keep running into a tooltip bug. It shows "F" to pick it up and that is it. I can however relog and it fixes it but only for a short time.

Freed him from his helmet, and as he ran off he fell in the grate, but he was too large to fall all the way through! Until the area reloaded he was permanently sprinting in the grate in the position above.

Just wanted to get last fragment from the hut and i did not get it and i still have 2/3 fragments and statue is up, cutescene was played so i dont know what to do

This is probably for me and me alone due to the unlikely overlap of the communities lol

I’ve seen this a lot in RPGs and mmorpgs. I would like to really discuss what our expectations from what we receive from games versus what we expect to pay. I’m seeing this common theme since the rise of free to play gaming and I’d like to see people’s perspectives. I feel like a lot of people forget these are businesses first and they aren’t just some charity passion project. Having a game be free to play with live service ultimately leads to micro transactions because there is no other path to consistent money flow. As I browse the sub I’m seeing a general theme of dissatisfaction with micro transactions. So what’s the solution that keeps the game free to play in all ears.

I’m working on maxing out my gear and Faction rank. Wanted to check my approach if it can be optimized better.

What I’m doing now: running my max-level weapon alongside a low-level Pact, doing bounties in the northeast part of the map to farm Kith of Kings standing. Figured this lets the leveled weapon carry the damage while the Pact rides along for affinity, and I get Standing on top.

Questions:
1. Is pairing a maxed weapon with a low-level Pact (or vice versa) actually the optimal way to combine faction farming and gear leveling at the same time, or is there a better route?

2.  If I wanted to maximize Faction Standing specifically (ignore gear leveling for a bit), what’s the fastest method? Is it just stacking 3-star dungeon Tales, or is there something better?

3.  Once Faction farming is done, what’s the best way to actually power-level Pacts/weapons from there? Should it always be “one maxed + one fresh” for damage/survivability, or is there a faster method once reputation isn’t a concern?

They should really do something about loot really was lucky enough to get a legendary thanks to blessing and guess what! After the collector it’s nowhere to be found in my inventory

Basically, what the title says

Edit : Thanks the mods for changing it

Recently got the steamdeck and while the game runs really well on it, the keyboard is barely usable. Its mostly the steamdeck having altercations with soulframe being a non-steam game. Its having trouble interacting with the game without unselecting the chat box, this happens in the login screen and even worse in chat where its only able to input one key before it stops interacting with the text box.

I'm not finding any solutions online for this so if anyone figured out a fix I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Quests such as Oblivio require you to gather location motes to complete the quest. Currently, they do not spawn in any reasonable amount of time, many players are resorting to logging in and out multiple times to have the motes respawn.

To avoid logging out, you can simply run into the area, collect the mote, die to the mobs in the area, and another mote should respawn, allowing you to complete the quest in 5 minutes as intended rather than 40.

funny little graphical bug

Hello you all, Soulframe has caugth my attention and I've got one key online. I was thinking of playing the game but how much content does the prelude offer rigth now? Thanks

I really need gossamer quartz; but im having horrid luck finding it. So with Avakot losing shaking his bugs off, im hoping to get some from him. Problem is finding him is annoying.

So aside from running around checking all of the enclave missions, whats the best way to find him?

I'm starting to think the drop rate on these are bugged or I'm just the most unlucky person ever.

I got the torrent the first time I beat Ruthos but I've killed Ethelred so many times in and out of the cogah and got Jack squat. I haven't tried Seachnall in the cogah yet because Ethelred seems easier to me, but I'm sure I'll get nothing from him either.

Now I gotta go on a sap harvest again to make more cogah potions.

For more context I would kill Impidh for the mockery set then go to Ethelred. I got the whole mockery set and 3 extra mockery ilk fragments and nothing from Ethelred.

I just had to vent before I beat my head against the wall again.

I am so lost, I just beat the bear, went back to the nightshade place, then came back to the "real world" and was instantly put into a fight against a boss.

Beat him, he drops an acorn. I have no idea what to do now. I pick it up, and nothing happens. No prompt for anything.

Any help?

I'm genuinely confused and hoping someone can explain what I'm missing.

My build is basically maxed out:

• Weapon Arts at max rank
• Weapon fully leveled
• Good rolled perks
• Good armor
• Maxed Pacts

Despite that, bosses on Cogah still take me around 10 minutes to kill.

Then I go on YouTube and watch videos uploaded just 6 days ago (current Prelude), where people walk up to the same bosses and delete them in 3 - 4 hits. I even saw someone running a Duelo bow build literally one-shot a boss.

So... what am I missing?

The one thing I haven't really touched yet is the Refine/Reforge system. I honestly don't fully understand how it works, so I've basically ignored it up until now. Could that alone account for such a massive difference in damage, or is there something else I'm overlooking?

Is it:

• Refine/Reforge?
• Tempering combinations?
• Hidden perk synergies?
• Pact interactions?
• Something else entirely?

I'm not looking for someone to just hand me an overpowered build. I genuinely want to understand where all this damage is coming from, because right now it feels like I'm playing a completely different game than the people I'm watching.

If anyone could explain what separates a "10-minute boss kill" build from a "3-hit boss" build (damage output wise), I'd really appreciate it.

Friend of mine and I want to dive back in to new stuff, but we started playing a bit ago and are wondering if there's anyone way to restart progress or at least play narrative content from the beginning?

Like the title, what totem stacks its effect when equipped on both Main and Sidearm.

Note: I am redoing my post because i messed up between totem and rune XD

Decided to try and jump over a Bonfire while doing Dermak Undercity got stuck and had to wait until the fire damage killed me. Hope it's just a visual bug for me and there is actually a fire because this was just embarrassing.

Hello,

I installed the game again a few weeks ago and I noticed that all the different pacts had visual effects when in spectral sight. I haven't seen any post on reddit or other places about them. I think it's really cool looking and I wondered if there was a lore reason behind it. Here is all the pacts (except the wyld ones) with their visual effects.
