3 Common Build Mistakes You Absolutely MUST Avoid! (Pt 2) | Deepwoken

the biggest mistake is not taking every single rare talent you see. since u cna turn rare talents into commons but not the other way around and if you miss a good rare talent might as well wipe

2:25 Boons and Flaws were tested by Simon on his tier list video for the subject in hand. Steadfast has a armor durability increase of 33%. If it was stacked armor conserver it raised to 48%. Granted there are ways to completely ignore armor via PEN. The ability to prevent any scrapsinger (or any ironsing user) from getting any buffs on you from exposed durability (and other talents that benefit off of no armor) AND retaining your armor for much longer in ganks or diluvian makes Steadfast the best boon by a LONGSHOT as other boons are situationally good or downright terrible. Boons and Flaws need a severe rework to have a bigger impact on build making similar to Steadfast so there is more of a reason to picking said boons or flaws.

The better curiosity quest is the one at Minityrsa bcuz it gives u free aces, and has no reqs

Steadfast gives a 25% reduction, which paired with armor conserver’s 15% gives you a total of 40% armor res, which makes all ironsing and metal enchant builds so much easier to fight since your armor is practically unbreakable.

For deepbound progression the most important flaws are manic and squeamish because they’re basically nullified by castle light not letting you go insane and obviously going carnivore on a pve build. i honestly prefer faster progression over useful boons so I usually go maverick and autodidact but the best boons are probably steadfast and survivalist

In my opinion, the best way to get the mantra, compassion, curiosity, and bravery quests are to go to vigils and talk to the sword, then get the library quest and leave a guild base or something at vigils, then go to upper erisia and do the sharko quest, then go to minitersia and do curiosity book quest, and then go to etria and finish the compassion and mantra quest by tping back to vigils. I personally like to go and do the bravery quest for 1 extra knowledge, because sometimes it just comes in handy and at that point i would normaly have hive tp anyway. Also with the new hive tps being made this can probably be done even faster now.

about the flaws , ive never used simple ... i always go for vegetarian and obvious , with the only exception when i get dephs prog / pve build so i can get carnivore , obvious doesn't change anything on pvp , and vegetarian cuz i pretty much always eat soup so it doesn't change anything at all for me.

I go simple voidwalker and still dont notice the falloff💀

i find simple horrible to prog with because it's so slow to level up at higher powers. i simply just use manic and go 1 boon because there's really only 1 boon you want

you can go squeamish if youre going carnivore and manic as I find not many mobs actually have insanity applying attacks

I always do everything on the list except getting simple, I still go steadfast on all my builds. The flaws I pick are obvious and squeamish which did not cause any problems for me when I progressed my build. Obvious is mostly a Pve issue (but I run Pvp) and Squemish does not really have an impact on me because I pick carnivore on all my builds.

you can also do ministry Aces quest for aces and a talent hand. you can do the legions quest in erisia for a talent hand. you can do the clear muddskippers quest in song seeker for the bombs AND a talent hand, pretty sure thresher scales quuest in hive also gives always. this is only if u can level up after doing the quest

Did u forget about the Ace's quest at mini it also counts as a curiosity quest usually do it after trial or before trial for more burns

Me personally I found that getting the 3 extra talents is most useful just before you power up to shrine of order since it increases the chances of you getting any missing talents

squeamish is my favorite flaw since i almost always get enough willpower to go carnivore

i usually take more mantras than i needed because i might not get the perfect mantras i need, so at the end i have 2 useless mantra to reroll and get a mantra you need

for the quests i do the ministry report quest, fort merit raid quest, and gale stone quest

the problem with the boons and flaws depend on your build, i never go simple i dont like it but also the other flaws have little effect, manic is actually good in some cases and deficient is really good if youre going silentheart, it just depends what build youre going

I did the talent quests but i didnt get a hand on any of them

Idk if the id is confusing but using deepwoken builder is there anyway to know how many points you’ll have after using shrine of order, or is there anyway to know how much your stats will increase after using shrine of order
