Can also get accolade points avenging the fallen players - you'll periodically see flags in game with nearby mobs that are a morale rank higher than they should be with a purple glow around them. Defeating them will get you accolades, no invasion nonsense necessary (though I presume those award more).

Identifying that embedding cost more on upgraded gear is a great tip 👍

Man I’m glad this video came up, cause I was selling a lot of stuff! I’m still,early in the game tho, currently try to beat this hairy bull faced tentacle beast🤦🏿‍♂️ he’s cookin me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great info on the upgrade materials subject. The salvaging method for mats is the best route. Like you said: "always salvage." If you don't, you're doing yourself a great disservice. You find so many items throughout the game that are low star items but have high upgrade numbers. Salvaging the lower star items that have upgrades works wonders. I went this route in my blind playthrough and ended up with a ton of upgrade materials compared to farming. I'm glad you pointed out the salvage method in your video. I'm sure it will help many players.

I wish when you ran out of bolts and throwing knives etc that your inventory was directly linked to your storage its a pain in the ass going to the blacksmith all the time to re stock

If people are testing sets and beat the game or unlocked the sub missions.. the ones with single boss fights are great way to test those.. love using Father, Like Son

Gear level max is +9. Highest gear rarity is 5 star (only on rising dragon difficulty) Player level max is 150. Phase level cap is 99.

One thing to note about sets is that the set bonus takes up a slot when embedding. A 3 star non set will have 4 effects but a 3 star that’s part of a set will have 3 as the set counts as one. It will be interesting to see when people really start min/maxing builds if sets are the way to go or not.

Embedding guide starts 5:35 :)

Damn dude, that was surprisingly thorough and smart. Every second packed with useful info. Plus, I like your like your positive & animated vibe. Guess that’s gotta be worth a sub, right? Thanks again, very well done video. 😎👍

Go to the flag if you do change attributes otherwise it won't change especially if ya plan in playing with friends. Also its always a good idea to make several builds for end game it will help a lot.

Hey brother, fantastic video! You made everything clear and concise. You didn't waste any time with useless yammering. Liked and subbed!

Nice tips here brother. Finally got around to playing and navigating the menus and getting all this down can be a nightmare so thanks for clarifying it. I’ve managed to figure out most but you took a deep dive even into some of the meta of a build. So thanks. Leaving a comment here to boost this video. Good luck

I really like how this doesn't feel stingy with its upgrade system. I never felt like upgrading was a grind. I even had rank 4 gear before I got to the hidden village, so that was a plus

I started playing about a month ago and I thought I had this figured out, I'm glad this popped up in my recommended.

I appreciate this video I try my best with avoiding KZfaq build guide but this is not what this is so I enjoy it thank you for this I’ve never had a problem with this in other games but man wo long makes it complicated to figure this out lol

Omg lol...I knew stuff like extra items were being sent to a storehouse, but I never noticed the little icon at the top so I couldn't figure out how to get the stuff.... thank you lol. You get a sub from me for teaching me an obvious thing

Thanks a lot for the explanation. Much appreciated. Keep up the great work.

My two cents on the colour-coded Special Effects and their categories (in brackets) that can be embedded and some recommendations: Any number x WHITE (general/ support) - Attack Power > Enemy Status Effect Accumulation > Accumulation on Enemies > Divine Beast Gauge Gain. 1 x RED effect (damage/ offence) (choose wisely) - Melee Attack Damage, Wizardry Spell Damage, Damage to Enemies with Negative Effects, Spirit Damage to Enemies with Negative Effects, Element-imbued Weapon Damage come to mind. 1 x PURPLE effect (buff/ debuff) (a good number of single-use Jewellery Essence Special Effects; some unlimited-use Special Effects) (stack as many unique (see below) Positive and Negative Effects as you can). 1 x GREEN effect (resource/ efficiency) (IMO, not worth it, unless it's a Jewellery Essence Special Effect). 1 x BLUE effect (resistance/ defence) (IMO, not worth it, unless it's a Jewellery Essence Special Effect). 1 x YELLOW (restore) (IMO, not worth it but nice to have). # Besides these, there are single-use Jewellery Essence Special Effects (as shown in the video) that also fall under different special effect categories and will obey the same rules of embedment, ergo, you can stack them on the same gear item as long as they belong to different categories. # The number of special effects that you can have in a gear item is limited by the number of slots into which you can embed. # To take an example of a -ve effect (this applies to all +ve and -ve effects), 'Damage Amplification' is ONE TYPE of -ve effect. Stacking same/ different kinds of Damage Amplification Special Effects does not work as you might think. The 'Damage Amplification' -ve effect just gets refreshed when each of them are applied when their respective conditions are met.

Salvage gear. Sell jewel fragments. Never worry about money again. None of that be sure to embed early nonsense. Reverse Pandas will also eat jewel fragments. You can give them 9 or 10 and get a high rarity accessory. I only get rank 5's from them doing this but I am on NG+

This was randomly served to me by Google. Subscribed. Thanks for the info.

Another great guide, good work you're doing. Appreciate it. Some stuff I didn't know there and I thought I understood everything in the game by now haha

I just figured out battle sets and am at a high enough level to play with builds. I went and made two and half builds worth of gear. Fell short on the last one because I spent 5 million copper without realizing🙃. I had no idea upgraded gear cost so much 😭

Lock what you want salvage the rest or sell it just like nioh 2 for exp sell what you don't need to upgrade its a fantastic system. Well done

This was sooooo. Helpful! U got a new subscriber!

The effects on secondary weapon and ranged weapon do not count, only active weapon slots effects are active.

Never sell your gear again is actually huge! Thanks for mentioning that. Usually you get 11 fragments per gear and you can sell 5 of them for the equivalent of selling 1 weapon. I usually split between selling & salvaging, now we go salvage all the way babyyyy!

Great video! Subscribed

Subbed and liked. Keep up the great work!

Great video. This has definitely saved me a lot of future pain and suffering.

Great video mate, I was wondering tho how you got the “branches” on your character is the best way I can phrase it

Great video gets right to the point no bullshitting around very informative

I've been watching your videos since playing the game. I just subbed

I just subscribed thanks for the tips man I'll be watching out for your videos the wo long guru is also a good strategy avenue as well

New subscriber and thanks so much for the guide but I'm old school Nioh lol but I still take in as much info on new games as possible, keep em coming, thanks so much also for the time put into this.

Bro I really appreciate it. I never thought to look at how much the jewels sell for. I've been giving em to the little pandas😅

You put a lot of work into this gave a lot of helpful info I subscribe right away

Thanks for the video. I learned alot of good things here!

Nice vid. Liked & subbed. 💥💥👏🏽🔥👑

Good basic tips

Subscribed brother ❤🤙🏼🤘🏼💯

Pretty straight forward. Who is doing this wrong? The only thing I was confused about was what the hell does +17 fire attack actually do? Obviously it gives me more fire attack but everything else is based on percentages. Does it just add 17 damage to my fire based weapons or spells?

We need a end game guide. How do I get the materials to upgrade my gear to lvl 10? My char slaps but I'm unsure what to embed to optimize it into god slap tier.

The panda 🐼 keep giving me 4 ⭐️ flutes every time 🥊

one thing to not is stats do look like it only is in effect when the actual wepon is used/shown as equipped for ranged except for buffs from stats from sets as why sets are popular. interesting on the salvage sell thing as i havent calculated the cost salvage vs just sell but mostly just sold 2 star as 3 and upp has a bigger chance on essence. got me smiling when you said when it cost was insanly expensive as 5 star and an essence embed is the insanly expensive

God video🙂 made it short and simple tnx😃

Okay the only other question i have is are you offhand weapon stats active when you are using a main weapon ?

You took the time so I subscribed

Thanks for the tips. Great content. Done subs🙂

Never realized storehouse was a thing. Sweet

Is HP upon melee attack B+ rare or should I reroll accessory?

One thing I don't know if the guide touched on that I'm still trying to figure out: to fill out the library of effects you have to stack on stuff do you need to salvage that effect first to learn it?

Good guide very helpful thanks 😊

My only pet peeve is not being able to mark/ lock on the go and the option being gate kept at the blacksmith is kinda of a backward decision from previous Nioh games :/

Plus, if you salvage it and get the jewels, you can sell the Jewells for more than what you could sell the weapon/armor piece for. Can sell a 2/3 grade weapon for 5k But salvage it for 14 jewels And each jewel sells for like $1k, Don’t hold me to these figures exactly but that’s the idea and close

Liked and subbed.

Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to make it for everyone.

You also get accolade helping people by using the recruit/respond function

I picked up the set from Hong Jin Tianzhu Hermit Set, the set bonus are HP +10, Wizardry Spell Spirit Consumption -1.8%, Power Gain Upon Wizardry Spell, Staff Spirit Damage +7.9% I tried to put Wizardry Spell Damage on some pieces, but it was always great out in the list of embedments on chest or legs, that should be able to take it. Why I can't put it, because of the set bonus or because I have not found it yet. Though a saw a gear piece that had that?

liked and subbed; thanks for putting in the work

Great guide dude 👌🎮💯. Sick channel too , got a sub from me bro

Embedment systeme is complexer because stats are overriding a another stats seen that there are only round 80 slots. Example i embed the stat Copper obtention 5% this going to over ride the stats Copper Obtention thats already in my embedment inverntory. First i thought maybe the stat only overriding when they better but thats not the case. Please somebody explane me this too.

Great video. Unrelated question, how do you get that cool armour you are wearing?

I didn't know the jewels sold for so much. I was salvaging until I ran out of money then I sold and just swapped when I needed to.

If I salvage a weapon will I lose the effects to embed them

Great info!!!

you messed up the ranged damage percentage in your thumbnail

Do you lose the Special Effect if you salvage an item with it on there?

Does anyone know if the game has a glitch when you buy arrows they disappear in storage

When re-rolling accessories with the pandas, you have a small chance to upgrade rank 4 to rank 5 as well

When you play with a friend does it make the bosses harder?

Great video, thank you

Subscribed!

Whats does spirit damage include ? Deflect, melee attacks, martial arts ? (Which are all other stats with higher %)

So how did you get 😊the the special effects that high all I see is low numbers when I embed

What and where did you get that armor!? It looks crazy! Great vid bro👌🏼

Just salvage gear you don't need and sell the jewel fragments. This way you'll never have to worry about copper.

Can someone explain power drop to me?! The 2nd part reads as if its a negative for the player. "decreases the DMG attacks deal to enemies". The way that reads to me, why would i use it if my attacks after applying PD to the enemy become weaker.

I have a question so I notice sometimes when I'm trying to embed certain armors why are some blacked out and some not? And does tier come into play when trying to embed like if I want to put something in a tier 5 I have to savage a tier 5 to get it or is for example a chest piece for a chest piece? I'm confused and help would be appreciated

Can someone help me? I'm looking for elemental imbued weapon damage to embed into my weapon and gear but it's not on the list. It's not a jewelry essence that needs to be extracted. Is there sonething I'm missing?

The reason people are embedding wrong (including me) is that the game does an extremely poor job explaining anything. "Spirit Vulnerability" okay, how much extra spirit damage do I do? Does it stack if I have it on my weapon and on my armor? Can I embed it alongside other spirit damage effects or is it exclusive?

Pro tip. Before level 150 put genuine qi obtention and moral rank gain on everything. You can get up to like 60% Qi obtention. 70 I think if you always summon the first guy you unlock as reinforcements.

I CANNOT FIND THE WING ARMOR HOW TO GET?!?!

So if I use a Damage dealt on my head slot, a Earth damage dealt on my hand slot, and a poison damage dealt on my leg slot they all won’t activate? Or is it just the same name embedments that don’t stack?

I haven't embedded nothing and I'm easing through this whole game.

I'm sub bro ty

The main curiosity I have is why some gear let’s you embed specialty enchantments (with the swirly icon) and some gear does not. I can often embed specialty items into greaves or body armor but not the helmet, for example. Uncertain why. If anyone knows, lmk!

Could I put an element enchantment on a a weapon that has a weapon imbued damage modification on it?

I think its weird that you cant stack HP restoration. I've been trying to do it and it doesn't go past +1.9% or +2.1% depending on the weapon you're using. Please explain what i'm doing wrong. Im trying to make a life-steal build

if you need +6-8 leather and steel just farm monkee on NG+ and you get good drops too

Can you change all of the effects for each level of item or is it one effect per item (i.e. change all 3 effects on a 3 star item)? Apologies if you mentioned this, I didn't hear it.

if i extract something from a weapon, then embed it into a weapon -- can i take it back out in the future & reuse it?

I havent sold a single thing and im a millionaire, im the guy who probably helped you beast a map and its boss

awesome video

I do both sell and salvage so come find me lol

Range weapon embedded slots effect is active even if u are not wielding it, just equip it into range slots it will take effect??

Why are some of the upgrades grayed out, even though I have the resources and slot available?

Alot of the buffs feel useless like WTF is a 2% boost going to for me? 😅 if it was 5-10% then sure. Upgrade materials is too rare IMO. Loving the game so my complaints are minor Enemy/flag detection is helpful

+9 is upsetting xD ive been betting on +10 And also i have 5 million coppers. Idk what to use them for
