How To Earn Ventkids Standing

Being Mastery Rank xxx has left me with a few realizations. At that place are things I never got effectually to doing, generally because they were boring and/or wearisome. Subsequently all, I oasis't touched Caucus at all, because I have no interest in PvP. Only Ventkids on the other hand, they're a simple Syndicate, correct? I may have ignored them since they came out, but they're… a thing. And, after leveling up the new infested K-Bulldoze, I realised that maybe I could max them out.

Well, I could, merely it'd be dull.

Two options: Races or Tricks.

There are only two ways to increment Ventkids standing. You tin can either pop tons of cool tricks as y'all bulldoze around on your K-Bulldoze or practice races. The real reply though is that doing races is far superior. Certain, you can spend ages grinding around the Pearl, simply you can simply get a maximum of 3000 points per philharmonic. And it's much, much easier to fuck up a combo past landing at the wrong angle.

Proficient grinding spots exist for doing tricks. The Pearl is marked on the map and easily cleared of enemies. It'due south mostly a circular rail which you tin can grind around for a long time without too much difficulty. At that place are also sections of runway that you can grind effectually quite nicely. Just backside Fortuna, there's a big lake with pipes that are peachy for grinding on.

Just really, you need to become that combo up and keep it going. That's not easy when y'all are easily penalized for repeating tricks with a Copy Kavat. Then non merely do you accept to philharmonic, merely you need to exercise lots of different tricks for maximum scores.

Bluntly, information technology's only easier to do races.

Races are, well, alright, I gauge.

Information technology all depends on which races you lot practise. The longer ones give more standing, but accept longer to do, obviously. They also accept longer to get dorsum to the start. But at the same time, some of the shorter ones are tedious as well. Many of the shorter races are through tiny caves, so you can't pick up that much speed.

The races I dislike the most though are the ones that require grinding. I'm merely not very good at those. Simply it's so easy to be accidentally be flung off your board, and it takes Then LONG to get back upwards. If you fuck upwards at the start of a race, there's just no real way to recover. The worst offenders are the races that run through the twisted Orokin tree root areas. Betwixt being cramped and hard to rest on and requiring you lot to grind on roots for maximum speed, these races are simply a massive pain in the ass.

Puffin' Pastures is my second favourite race.

This race is pretty direct forward and doesn't require whatever particularly long jumps or annihilation. Actually, there's simply three awkward bits in the unabridged race. You tin easily finish Puffin' Pastures with a expert twoscore-50 seconds left on the clock with just a basic lath. There's as well no grinding required, simply a couple of small hops. Really, the only awkward spot is literally the second ring, because information technology'due south just past a small ledge you need to hop over. Everything else, except the second to last ring, can be driven through while grounded.

Corpus do spawn quite a lot on this path but they're easy to avoid. The race is also pretty close to Fortuna and pretty easy to Archwing back to the kickoff.

Doing a K-Drive Race — Doing a Yard-Drive Race

If Puffin' Pastures isn't bachelor, so I'll exercise Fortuna's Folley or occasionally Domestic dog Line. Dog Line requires no grinding and is more often than not a twisting path of a race that can be done pretty quickly. Fortuna's Folley lands you close to Fortuna and, although it does have grinding, the grinding is optional.

My favourite race though is Roky'southward Roll. Roky'due south Gyre sends you lot downwards through a deep cave, along the remains of an Orokin road and then blasts you out of the exit. I used this race to level upward four of the five K-Drives during a double affinity weekend. It's actually the one oft seen on Dev Streams, a longer race simply pretty directly forward, showing off the cavern systems. Only I haven't seen this race in like two weeks so I haven't been able to do it.

Cambion Drift races are the worst.

I absolutely hate these races. Non because they're harder than the Orb Vallis ones. Okay, they're a bit harder, merely information technology's the mural that's to arraign. The Orb Vallis is rocky only you lot can at least see where you're going. Although you can and will bump into little rocks and stuff that stick out of the ground, they are by and large avoidable. Deimos on the other hand is filled with annoying vines and ledges and things to get caught on. It's absolutely miserable, because the rougher terrain wasn't really fabricated for skateboarding in listen.

Really, the only places that work for One thousand-Drives are across the 'endocrine' gooey red rivers. Merely none of the races actually get along those rivers.

Is it worth the grind overall?

Nah. It's not worth it. Especially since I already have all the boards mastered. Turns out, it's easier to just farm 52-54 platinum and buy the boards outright. The only ones I take actually congenital are the offset board the Ventkids offer and the Infested one that Grandmother gives you. And even then, because I didn't want to spend ages fishing for the new parts I needed, I concluded up using the cheap Ventkids parts for the Infested lath.

And, frankly, the Ventkids want fashion also much standing for what they offer. Fifty-fifty the crappy base of operations Grand-Drive parts cost five,000 continuing each, which is a day or more's worth of continuing for the average actor.
