The Everfall post-dragon (spoilers)

[neofit]

I'm doing the subj. Now, I've already amassed 20+ wakestones just in the first 6 chambers. It seems they have more or less random/genericcontent, and no story nor quests besides the one about the 20 wakestones. Is there a point in doing the rest, besides getting exp and loot from random encounters, or should I go directly to BBI (level 56).

I mean exp wise, technically it can be done by repeatedly doing the first few chambers, or just jump into the hole and grab what ledge comes first. It was frustrating enough to get to #4 and #5 instead of 6, so I'm not sure I want to waste any more time trying to grab onto each and every ledge like a completionst would if it's just about fighting generic exp bags.

Yeah sadly the everfall is really just a place for fashion gear now. It isnt that random in the Everfall and theres lots of farming involved, you stand in front of chests just killing yourself until you get that one piece of gear you wanted that only has a 2% chance to spawn, some of armor looks really nice but its all obsolete now that BBI exists. If you need more levels you can go farm the offline Ur-Dragon, he gives lots of exp and some loot that might help you, he also can DF your gear

With the introduction of Bitterblack Isle, Everfall mostly becomes irrevelant save for farming Wakestones and fighting the Ur-Dragon. Unless you really want to explore Everfall or want a piece of equipment that is exclusive to Everfall's low drop rate, I would recommend going to Bitterblack Isle. If BBI is too tough, try to level up elsewhere.

Everfall does use the same generic layouts, but does tune them to different monsters and bosses per floor. Bitterblack Isle also does this to some extent, but nowhere near the level of Everfall and has the best items in the game.

Not really. BBI is where everyone hangs out, mostly.

BBI will not change when I move on to NG+?

BBI resets just like everything else when you NG+. However, it doesn't change when you kill the dragon. It changes when you kill... something else, deep in BBI itself. And then it stays that way until you NG+.

[Ticklestache]

Farming the Ur-dragon is just as convenient in NG+ because a little riftstone shows up on cassardis beach in that little cove to the right, so you dont have to worry about farming before ng

BBI only resets in NG+, or it becomes more difficult as well?

NG+ resets EVERYTHING to its initial state except your character and main pawn, who keep their levels and skills and all their collected items. So the whole game becomes really easy for a while.

Oh, I thought NG+ was like in Borderlands for instance,where all mobs' levels would start from the level you were supposed to be when finishing the previous playthrough.

There is still story. Just 20 wakestones is what you need to get to the next part. If fact, if you don't do the next part, the rest of the story doesn't matter.

There is a ring in the Everfall called Dragonblood. It gives 25 resistance to everything debiliations in the game.

Use it to max pawn knowledge, use it to get mats for upgrades and such. Farm items there you can't elsewhere. Such as hydra's lifeblood. Affects group and gives lots of health. Or indurated dragons blood. Raises physical and magical defenses and gives lots of health and stamina.

everfall is to farm wakestone, or grind for dragonblood ring (rng) if u desired for it.
to buy some stuffs from few vendors, like mushroom pootage/liquid vim, which are very helpful in farming daimon runs.

if u are seeking ur-dragon, use the special rift stone in cassadria, it's far more convenient

ng+ is to practical to do some missing quests, level up pawn's quest/travel knowledge.
also to complete some vow badges which are only complete-able at certain stage.

Fashion dogma is the true endgame. sry man but it's the truth

....and you don't even need to buy Liquid Vim from the Everfall. :/

Move a couple of your portcrystals to the two beaches out on the southwestern edge of Gransys. One is Bloodwater Beach, the other one has a little cave called The Caverns of Delusion. It can be found near the Tomb of the Unknown Traveler.

1. Rest for four full game days. This respawns all gather spots in Gransys.

2. Do this at night-- teleport out to both beaches and clean out the two fish gathering spots at both beaches. You're after Giant Fish. Put them into storage, because if they rot, you can't use them for this recipe. You get a higher yield of Giant Fish at night.

Repeat as often as you like, or have patience for. Once you get a sufficiency of Giant Fish in storage, head off to Iola in Cassardis and buy a matching number of Pickled Mushrooms.

Combine your Giant Fish with Pickled Mushrooms-- this makes Liquid Vim.

oh I know, I always stay in post-game because you never know when you might need that one piece to complete your latest fashion
