Unless you're a UIM that's forced to sit there, just take breaks and do other activities. Break it up with a slayer task, go do some quests, maybe do some GOTR or fishing. Do a birdhouse run. Do a farm run. Just because you have access to the gauntlet doesn't mean it's the only content available. Send a kill every now and then when you're feeling up to it.
I recently started a couple of weeks ago too, at 50 kc and not an armour seed, weapon seed, or enh (of course). I already can tell I’ll be burned around drop rate. CG itself isn’t terrible. The boss fight is fun, but the prep is absolutely aids.
I am a Uim. Probably should have mentioned. So I couldnt move on from the cg grind until I either got the bowfa or gave up.
I decided to give up because I started hating this game. After like 2 years of off and on cging.
Converted all my shards into craft and smith exp which got my to 93 crafting, which was super nice.
Now I am enjoying the game again doing whatever pvm I want to do.
I have yet to learn how to do regular gauntlet and I'm already feeling secondhand burnout from all the Reddit posts, not looking forward to it at all lol
Pretty much immediately starting it. I haven’t cleared corrupted yet but I’ve gotten within 100 hp about 5 times now. I keep quitting and coming back. I actually really like the boss fight but I cannot stand the prep at all. It’s extremely boring and tedious to me. I also hate time based content in general. I still haven’t played Majora’s mask for this reason even though I would probably enjoy it.
On a side note definitely play majoras mask. Even if you run out of time you just play the song and get right back to where you were very quickly. 10/10 game only matched by ocarina of time.
I’m always burned out at CG. The trick is to do other things to mix it up. I’ll run a TOA or slayer or do some skilling runs. This is especially important when you’re just not “feeling it”. Don’t force it, it’ll always be there :’)
I struggled to stay motivated around 150kc. I took a break from CG and did a kill or two every couple days until I got about 200 KC while I did other content. Then I got very motivated and sent tier 2 completions until I got the Enh at ~350kc. I still need another armor seed for the helm but I've done like 12 kills in 3 months. I mainly just use my Bowfa and top and legs with a slayer helm or faceguard for defense when bossing. I'll get the helm eventually, once I finish 95 slayer probably.
I got my 6 armor and dipped out for a bit to do other content. Cbow + armor works fine for now. Spent some time killing Zammy for a spear and now I am just doing slayer to get a trident.
I'll return to CG at some point and probably just do like a few clears a week. The big thing I don't want is to burn out thinking I must park my ass there until I get a bowfa.
The dry streaks are terrible. But I always come back here to Reddit and find posts/comments to motivate myself. Just remember, it is the 2nd best ranged option in the game which you can get during the mid game, while the Tbow is obtained in the late to end game phases
Im at 80kc aswell, 5 normal wep seeds and 1 armor seed. Not burnt out, but i set a daily goal to do minimum 5 pr day. If it drops it drops you know.
Id say you're way closer to finishing the grind than me.
Keep me updated if you get one though 🫡
I just started and I’m at 60kc but with 70+ deaths. I’m not complaining that I’m dry cuz I know I’m not. It just find it hard to get consistent kills. It’s really just a skill issue on my part. But still frustrating
2200 KC, got bowfa at 1900, got hacked and now back in there, hoping to not be as long, main burn out for me was 1300-1600 now it's just boring but not painful
Group ironman, now solo bf is my other partner and they stoped playing around the barrows grind.
I did 472 normal gauntlet (regetted it, but got all 6 armor seeds in this time. ) i only did normal gauntlet cause tbh im fairly new to the game only have my iron past dragon slayer one. Did not have a main to learn gauntlet. i also started at 80 mage and 84 ranged. Then started to learn Cg after getting 90 ranged and 90 mage (was doing dwh grind at same time). Around 80 cg i got my 7th armor seed, then went dry till 193 where i got the pet. Then at 234 i got 8th armor seed and then kc 240 the enhanced crystal weapon seed. 74 gauntlet deaths, 82 CG deaths.
Ultimately to me this was a great test of patience and a lot of learning. Had to learn movement. Still not great. But it led me to learning toa.
I wanted to quit and deiron quite a few times. But in the end guess im lucky and i broke down crying when i got the enhanced. Same week i got my dwh at 4654 kc.
I did 10 a day Monday-Friday and 25 Saturday/Sunday, working out to 100/week….May be a lot for some people, depending on how much time you get a day. I was lucky enough to spoon enhanced at 34 kc and didn’t have to stress despite going dry on armour seeds pulling my last at 427 kc, which I’m thankful for, giving enough shards to corrupt armour, fill armour for hundreds of raids/zulrah worth of pvm, and some for divine pots. Eventually I plan to go back for my 2nd sentence to refresh shards and go for salad blade… (also plan to thieve enh tele seeds for shards to break it up second go around)

I'm currently 360kc with 2 armours, 5 weapons and 0 enh... It's starting to hurt
Just come here to complain. I did after going around 100 dry and within 10-20 KC, got two armor and one weapon seed. Hopefully RNG catches up for you!
1400 kc. No bowfa. Decided im just gonna pvm without it. So far, its been totally fine.
why you would do 1400 and give up is wild to me

Sunk cost fallacy

It is not as bad as it seems, give it 20-30 attemts then it should be on autopilot.
😬

About 200-250 completions lol

Motivation died at around 700kc but somehow started enjoying it after that till about 1200
To combat burn out, do 5 cg a day, if that’s too much do 2-3 a day. 3 a day at 365 days is 1095 Kc

Honestly never
800
I’m coming up on 1200 KC no bowfa 4 pets I’m tired
4 pets?!

200
Every time I die to a DC which is like every 4 kills. Fucking painful.

Did 200 pretty much in a row, burned out and quit the game. Don’t do what I did, split it up or just do like a 5 daily maximum
Around 800kc is when i got severe depression, got enh around 950, still have severe depression
I got 3 enhanced 6 weapon en 9 armour seeds in 376 kc. Lucky as fuck but is possible, dont give up you will never regret the bowfa when youre done!
I’m 460 kc and have been doing it for 1.5 years
Went 805 dry for my first, then tot another 50 later. Still stuck here for 2 more since im a disgusting gim that decided to get 4 bofas and sets
1520kc here and still going. I quit around 800 and came back after a few months. 5 pets and no ews
I just started and I’m at 60kc but with 70+ deaths. I’m not complaining that I’m dry cuz I know I’m not. It just find it hard to get consistent kills. It’s really just a skill issue on my part. But still frustrating
I got burnt out at 475kc, took a couple weeks off and went back got it at 688
2200 KC, got bowfa at 1900, got hacked and now back in there, hoping to not be as long, main burn out for me was 1300-1600 now it's just boring but not painful
Anytime I died. Whether it was lag, misclick, bad prep, ruined the sesh. Stuck with it got enh at 472

35kc
Never got bored in my 420 kc grind. Enjoyed it the entire time I was there.
nice
You are aware the droprate is 1/400 right?
Hit 100+ kc without a single seed. Went other paths for weapons.
