Star Trek Online Leveling Guide 2023

February 20, 2023 Guides

Star Trek Online (STO) has 65 levels that each character can progress through. All content in the game is level matchable, meaning that if a party has mixed levels then everyone can match to a single players level and more or less enjoy the content together. Leveling up still lets you unlock critical systems to unlock more ships and deck them out with cool Trek gear for your virtual space odyssey. Leveling up quickly is possible a few different ways. We’ll focus on the two most enjoyable and quickest methods: playing through missions and then grinding patrols. Leveling through Missions in Star Trek Online You can level up very quickly as a free-to-play player through missions alone; this is best for brand new characters.

Star Trek Online Dilithium (Free-to-Play) Farming Guide 2023

January 11, 2024 Guides

Farming Dilithium in Star Trek Online is one of the best ways to earn energy credits, upgrade gear and stockpile rare and limited resources. You can only refine 8,000 Dilithium per day so you’ll need to farm Dilithium on multiple characters and refine on each daily to get access to your raw ore sooner. You’ll also need to manually refine the Dilithium unless you’re a veteran or lifetime member. You can auto-refine up to a week of Dilithium on each character with that benefit. Lifetime membership goes on sale, it’s really worth it in the longrun! Some information is long out of date, including the in the official 101 Dilithium farming guide. There is no more gold members for instance. There’s no refinery anymore. Many sources have dried up over the years to combat inflation. You can open the Dilithium exchange and sell Zen (at roughly 500 refined ore per…

Star Trek Online Energy Credit Farming Guide 2023

February 23, 2023 Guides

Farming energy credits in Star Trek Online can be a daunting task when there isn’t any direct indication of how you can do so in the game. You need EC (energy credits) to buy items from the exchange. You’ll need them even if you don’t plan on making your EC (energy credit) fortune farming yourself and instead earning them vis-à-vis the exchange. You’ll need at least a few million in seed money to get going and that in of itself can be quite hard, especially when first starting out. This guide is assuming a full free-to-play experience. Players who wish to exchange real life money for energy credits can do so via master keys in the official Zen store. The keys can be sold directly or you can open Infinity Lockboxes to earn lobi crystals and sell the content, although you can get boxes that provide almost no value EC…

Converting from WoW to Final Fantasy XIV Guide – FFXIV for New WoW Players

August 29, 2021 Guides

So you’re converting to FFXIV from WoW and are ready to take on the world of Final Fantasy, the MMO, round two. A little back story, there was Final Fantasy XI (FFXI) which was another MMO that was pretty… interesting. It was, I would say, a game of patience and challenge loved by many, played by few. Then came FFXIV which followed on the coattails of the FFXIII for the PS3 which was a weird game because it was very linear compared to the open world Final Fantasy single player games of before. FFXIV when it originally launched was panned and then Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was… born? I guess you could say. That’s the game we’re playing today and it was remade to be better than ever and is, for a tab-targeting game truly a AAA masterpiece in the genre now. After expansions iterating on the design,…
