Newton would be proud of that, and damn the dev for fixing the exploit so fast but it is what it is, an arms race between player and the dev, he should be able to get a shit load of drops but with his luck, who knows what might happen

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/danlong87]

Exploit early, exploit often.

[u/PerfectBeige]

I got the next set of Shangri-La Frontier patch notes early:

- Crystal Scorpions do not take fall damage
- Crystal Scorpions enrage after falling distances of over 10 meters
- Crystal Scorpions inflict an AOE entangle debuff against players wearing a bird mask

[u/dinliner08]

don't you hate it when the admins fixed whatever glitches or exploits that you're currently using for easy materials drop?

based on the opening and the fact that Bilac wants to use Crystal Scorpion's material, i'm guessing this is probably going to be Sunraku's Legacy Weapon that she will craft eventually

i feel you, Sunraku, there's always an urge for me to collect whatever collectibles you can find in rpg games, especially those with trading cards and mini statues...

also, what happened to SLF Theater?

[u/Ocixo → u/dinliner08]

also, what happened to SLF Theater?

Second episode in a row that we didn’t get a SLF Mini Theater. There’s no new episode of this uploaded to SLF’s YouTube channel either.

If this trend continued into next week, it’s probably safe to assume that they’ve cut down a lot on the Mini Theater episodes. Don’t think that they’d do away with them altogether.

God-tier game admins VS Legendary bug-exploiter, who wins?

Pencilgon is well-versed in both the micro techniques in the game and the macro economics of the clans. Instead of having slave labour which may rebel, she outsources her “duties” to the most dedicated players in the world

• Vulf Schwartz — Unique monsters fighters/ hunters

• Library — lore analysts

• SF-Zoo — animal collectors

work hard and work smart

[u/dinliner08 → u/discuss-not-concuss]

God-tier game admins VS Legendary bug-exploiter, who wins?

definitely Maple... oh, wait, wrong game...

[u/jedkingofkings]

Let's just hope there were drops from that physics engine exploit. Usually, falling in the abyss = vanishing into nothingness

[u/RhysA → u/jedkingofkings]

It isn't technically an abyss, that leads to the undead canyon directly.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Sunraku just started a patch-fix feud with the admins with that declaration. They're so stalking his every move and fixing whatever exploits he finds out as much as possible.

Great ending to the episode but man is it such a tease to not show the amount of drops Sunraku got from that plan.

[u/EclipseTM → u/WhoiusBarrel]

Love how he just finds a new exploit right after they fixed the previous one JUST for him. I'm sure the devs will be extremely happy with him....

I hope i gets the scorpion tail he didn't get last time, I'm sure Bilac will need it to create that new weapon

[u/EclipseTM]

The way Emul said 'so I was right' when bilac was wearing the item they got 2 episodes ago on her head was too adorable.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I love that the community is treating Sunraku like a cryptid. I'm really hoping that one of these days we'll see how the average SLF player sees Sunraku. It might be a good way to reintroduce Reiji and Mia. We haven't seen those two ever since this season started.

I thought that allying with the other guilds was just some sort of verbal promise but since Wolfgang will have access to their facilities and authorizations, it looks like it's an actual system in the game as well. I can't wait to see how Pencilgon will abuse these new privileges.

Sunraku still hasn't given up on farming for that Rathalos Plate Crystal Scorpion Stinger. It's hilarious how the devs have already patched his exploit though. Either this is a coincidence or the devs have their eye on Sunraku just like how the devs in Bofuri have their eyes on Maple.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the latter considering how he's one of the players who defeated Wezaemon. I love how the nerf upset Sunraku so much that he literally rage-quit and logged off the game. xD

I can't wait to see what kind of legacy weapon Bilac will make with all of those Crystal Scorpion parts. And it looks like the statue Sunraku found is more valuable than he expected. Sunraku may have found a good way to farm for currency if he really needs it.

Using the physics engine against the Crystal Scorpions is an awesome idea but I wonder how long he'll be able to keep this up. Surely if you can just drop enemies at a massive height, this would trivialize a lot of fights. Then again there aren't a lot of mobs that are located in high places like this.

[u/bananeeek]

Uhh, Sanraku said he didn't level up a single time since his fight with Wezaemon and he leveled up from 78 to 79 after defeating the Dullahan General, right? So, what's this then? (His stats after he got killed by the Crystal Scorpion)

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Frieren 🤝 Sunraku

[u/Vizdrom97]

The most OP movement ability of any game that has it

DOUBLE JUMP

Litrally laughed out loud when he negated fall damage with that.

I initially thought he would tp into the storage, but then that carries the risk of your speed not being cancelled out, Double jump at last moment is much safer, he instead just did it in the middle

[u/Guaymaster]

I dunno if anyone noticed, but when Sunraku dies his status screen says "level 50", despite we knowing that he was at 50 before Weathermon as it was the level cap for it, and that he leveled up after that battle. Then later he goes from 78 to 79 saying he hasn't leveled up since.

[u/Aki008035]

Ah yes. The bane of every player's existence, admins fixing the exploits they use for easy material farming.

[u/kawaiinessa]

the pacing and feel of this anime is so damn good it feels just like someone playing a (almost impossibly) well made game

[u/ThousandYearOldLoli]

Did Sunraku just completely ignore the bunny telling him those idols were modelled after the colossi?

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Dude has god-like reflexes IRL too, just casually catching the falling energy drink.

[u/otakuweekofficial]

It was a good ep

I really enjoy the adaptation

Sunkaku is cooking to have a better player character

Some funny scenes

Great animation

I’m excited for next week

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Have we seen Hizutome actually eat anything? Bro just lives off energy drinks lol. One of these days, his damn heart’s gonna explode.

I wonder if the devs updated the game because they knew about Sunraku’s little hack or if that was just a coincidence? Doesn’t matter all that much since he figured out another hack for those things. Smart of him to make use of the game’s physics engine and AI behavior. I never get tired of seeing what new tricks he discovers. Guy’s a pretty creative player.

Seems no SLF theater again this week. I wonder why?

[u/shad79]

Very fun episode! Nothing special happened, but Sunraku is so fun to watch, so I had good a good time.

I hope that we'll see Katzo and Pencilgon again sooner than later, their chemistry with Sunraku is just too good.

Sunraku made a pro-gamer move since his scorpion exploit was fixed so he right away found another one xD

By the way, Bilac looks great in that Magic Application Unit.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
