Outward Definitive Edition | Raining Gold Bars
Things were just about to heat up in the points gained. It would only take a couple of large point gains to finish off this event for me. While there is always a chance I don't tend to expect them to happen.
I was already having a decent good start in a new instance. I had a couple of 40-ish PED looters. While not global yet it was more than enough to put me into the short-term green position. My shrapnel stack was also starting to slowly deplete. So any time it can go up gives me a nice little buffer as I kept grinding along.
I then got within the first half an hour my biggest point gain of the event. 1k points. Since I only needed 7k points total that alone was over 14% of the total points I needed. That more than finished off the current bronze tier I was working on and put me close to finishing off the next one as well. This also put me over 4k points now.
That one also on top of some tokens and ammo gave me another nice bump to my Easter Mayhem codex. I would still need to do some decent grinding to finish off rank 14. I however started this instance quite low into the progress bar for it.
After a fair bit more killing, I was hoping my next warlock boss kill would put me over. It however did not. It was yet another dud of a kill.
I then walked around to different parts of the instance for a while shooting from different sides of it. Loot was not being that kind and I somewhat wanted to clear out everything in there that I could. I then returned to my normal shooting spot.
I noticed I started to get quite a few perception gains while hunting. So I started to focus on everything around me the best I could. I was half tempted to pop a stat increase pill to increase my reload speed and critical chance so I could clear out the area faster. I however decided against the idea and saved it.
Even the boss I had killed shortly later gave me 100 points for the kill. I then went off to shoot around the instance for a bit to make sure there were no other perception checks. I then decided this half of the instance was going a little too well. I decided to drop it and get a fresh one.
All I needed to do was kill one further robot to finish off rank 14 of the codex. It was rather odd that I was a single kill away from having that finished off as well. I guess I’ll be hoping to get the trifecta another time.
For my Codex reward, I ended up picking up 7.02 PED of it. That gave almost 51 perceptions and a new rank in it as well. That was also more than enough to level 5 professions: level 27 mutant looter, level 34 animal looter (woot!), level 11 gardener (I never use this skill), level 12 gunner, and level 5 animal investigator. What an exciting time.
This also put me rather close to getting another rank on the bronze mission. I was for sure thinking when the warlock boss spawned I’d be getting 100 points from killing it. I did not. I’d need to be grinding a fair bit off a bunch of 1 and 5-point kills.
I was however close enough it did not take that much longer. That next tier of the bronze mission netted me 22 tokens, 10.9 PED of ammo, and some bunny bronze ears. I also got another nice chunk of Easter Robot codex increase.
The ears even brought enough luck that the next warlock boss I killed I got 100 points from it. The loot was still dreadful. At this point, I’ve given up on the idea of getting anything that is not a loss when killing the warlock.
I however did not care much. As a short time later hit level 56 of Laser Sniper (Hit). This is my highest profession. While I was waiting on damage professionals to catch up before I could I should use a bigger gun. It’s always fun seeing a level-up on this one.
It’s a bit of a shame I won’t get another hidden skill to unlock till Laster Sniper (hit) reaches level 70. I don’t expect that for a very long time. I expect I sometimes will go weeks or even months before I see this profession increase in a level. Even more so when I’m just hunting small creatures and not doing an event like Mayhem.
