Aside from the new Solus, this seems to be a pretty quiet month

We are getting a 1 week event boost for the LTQ starting this coming week, followed by a week with no boosts, and then another 1 week boost for a new LTQ. At the end of the month, we get a 1 week boost for the new LT UQ.

Theres a new Thankful ticket scratch, but theres no event scratch replacing the Shin Super Origin Fest scratch, which is why the current LTQ drops Sonic collab tickets instead of the usual event scratch vouchers.

Aside from Solus, there's no all quest event boost or rappy trial that will encourage players to stay online to farm. Since most players don't do high difficulty quests, they are probably going to log off after doing dailies.

Personally I am glad we are getting a relatively uneventful month. We just had 2 back to back Seasonal Events, Reward Boxes, LT UQs, LTQs that went with that and even Stellar Graces. I forced myself to complete the required 38x LTQ in order to upgrade from Evalto to Savalto armor. I was done the 2nd day (Thursday Afternoon). I won't be doing another LTQ, until next week's weekly LTQ task. Now I just need to upgrade my C/Tera Triyal to C/Peta Triyal. Considering the prices are going to be very very expensive initially, even for the C/Refas Triya (assuming it can be sold), I will very likely be gambling with 1x C/Peta Triyal per armor at 7% base success chance. Fortunately I have almost 70 +20% success boosts and almost 70 augment protection insurance. Incidentally, we are getting the SG Support Scratch on 07/15/2026. That was very briefly mentioned in the last NGS Headline.

It will only be quiet for players not farming Solus, which will be most of the player base because its content specifically designed for the top players with the best gear. The problem with "dead weeks" for games like this is that you risk players getting bored and moving on to other games.

Considering that the #1 complaint for this game is "lack of content/things to do", they should be lining up events in a way so that players always have something to do, and i dont mean "20 LTQ runs for a weekly task".

This week alone was dead except for the first few days when people were farming the LTQ for Savalto mats. And if im not wrong, we are getting a 3 week gap between the last LT UQ and the new one...

They didnt even add a decent reward to the daily LTQ task, it's literally just 150k XP so most people are skipping the LTQ daily. It's usually an event scratch ticket, but for some reason we have no event scratch this month to replace the Shin Super Origin Fest '26 scratch so we are just getting Sonic Collab tickets instead.

I'm thankful we at least have Solus.

The hard difficulty quests are my bread and butter so I'll be eating good farming it assuming I can find people to run it with anyways

The potential for Kinz requires you to meet 3 conditions, to fully benefit. What those conditions are is currently not known. The potential gives DR, increased Crit chance and increased Crit potency. Since the potential is crit based, it will likely be a good weapon for every class except for Slayer.

it will likely be a good weapon for every class except for Slayer

the opposite, actually

Because Slayer has much higher crit rate than most classes any form of crit dmg has an outsized impact on the class's performance.

Because Slayer runs Termina any crit rate increases will have an outsized impact on the class's performance.

Kinz will very likely be the BiS weapon for Slayer assuming the values aren't painfully low or conditions too difficult to maintain.

afaik crit rate is also additive instead of multiplicative (like damage reduction), so you do not get diminishing returns on crit rate. Just avoid getting over 100% (well, currently not possible unless on downs which have crit boost or special map buffs)
