Is the fulgent impeller as hard to get as it appears?

[Chuddly]

I took a peek at the wiki to see how it's done but good god it seems very involved and difficult in a game where I'm trying not to die haha.

Quite, and you need a ship with good cargo space.

So best not to do it with the starter ship. Would the cargo ship be best or is there an intermediary?

[Elitewrecker PT]

No reason not to start working a bit on it soon, you just won't be able to finish it without more cargo space, the cargo ship is the cheapest with enough cargo space to get it.

Yes but it's well worth it. It's the best engine in the game by far and as such, the best item in the game in general other than vital items that are much more easily obtained, like the Avid Suppressor. The weapon equivalent of a difficult to obtain quest item is the Memento Mori, although it is not as superior to purchasable weapons as the Impeller is to any other engine.

Also the quest is fun and takes you lots of places you need to go anyway.

That's good. Good little story I guess huh?

Good enough that you'll eventually get to the point where you will be incredibly annoyed every time you win and start with a new captain without it; your initial goal will be to always "acquire fulgent impeller asap" before you can start enjoying the game again haha.

Honestly, that sounds incredibly frustrating. I mean, getting the impeller is time consuming and expensive.. Doing it everytime you die lmao. I have 150 hours in the game, but really only scratched the surface. I've decided to save scum so I can get the stories and not go insane.

Ye, unfortunately you can only inherit a weapon and not other pieces of equipment.

I've got to the point I can get most of the Curator's items on the first run, and the Impeller and Memento Mori in about three or four.

I'd say two or so if I speedrun it just to get the Impeller, starting out with basically unlimited echoes and spamming Avid Suppressor on the Caminus Yards Compulsion while doing nothing that isn't directly related to that one task. This blows insane amounts of echoes though (Compulsion alone is an insane ripoff at 5K echoes while being unsellable).

Significantly longer if I pursue story lines like a normal person.

[[TE] Kuraudo]

Once you're at the point where you can snag a torpedo boat, echoes become nothing more than a hindrance though since you can just stunlock lorn flukes and mt nomad for reliable cash. This makes the parabola linen runs look like what peasants do. The biggest grind in this game on every new captain is always the initial sprint to get the fulgent propeller. I don't even bother with the memento mori since 50 mirrors is all it takes to stunlock everything except those birds down south.
