Ctrl Alt WoW Episode 829 - Putting The Alt Back in Ctrl Alt WoW

Grand Nagus:

FINAL FANTASY XIV:

Patch 7.3 release date: August 5th

Grand Nagus and Jordbaer finished HW 3.0.

OCE M’kolon has started leveling crafting jobs again. Allied Societies.

Working on a space disco themed apartment.

Transferred an old event character to OCE, might as well use her to dye my gear.

Golden Chocobo feathers concept.

YoshiP hinted at more elaborate seasonal events in the future, i wonder if the Moonfire Faire event will be the first of the sort or if it will be the last of the regular ones.

No Man’s Sky:

Saving Freighter tokens to unlock some critical tech on the ship before continuing with unlocking more furniture and building modules. Currently I'm at 8, and I think I need around 15 or 20.

Refining tip: To multiply Di-hydrogen, refine Di-hydrogen -> Di-hydrogen Jelly at 1:40 and then the jelly back to Di-hydrogen at a rate of 30:1. Do that in a loop and each loop of a full stack of 20 jelly will give you an overflow amount of 200 Di-hydrogen.

You don’t need a medium or large refiner to do that though.

The first four grow rooms are fully planted with 36 plants each.

AprilPvd in VR:

No Man’s Sky

Started an alt on my other steam account and had to buy no man’s sky again, but it was on sale.

With shopping for a freighter for my new character and thanks to Grand Nagus I was looking for one with the rooms I wanted.

AprilPvd*

ThatApril is her sugar momma. I had a bunch of minitool, exosuit, freighter and spaceship modules. I also got her a settlement map.

Upgraded to S Class freighter

Went from C to B to A. Each time redoing engine components. Traded B to A and didn’t transfer base. Rebuilt making areas bigger and loving it

Runaway Mold

Found portal from Facebook group. Upgraded scanner to get 50% more. I spent 50,000 nanites upgrading my Solar ship. Then I needed 5,000 for black accent on my new freighter.
