The highlight of this Thursday's update is twofold-not only are new LTDs in packs, but there's also fresh XP to grind. For dedicated players, this means one thing: pushing to max out the Field Pass. At the moment, hitting level 61 is within reach before Season 2 drops in just six days. If EA follows last year's pattern, we might also see a coin conversion pack before the new season-and sure enough, it's already live.

Elden Ring has remained a living, breathing mystery. Despite millions of players reaching the end of their journey across the Lands Between, new details-some as small as a shadow's flicker, others as game-changing as lore rewrites-continue to surface.Here are some of the most fascinating Elden Ring discoveries you probably missed.

The Banished Knight You Can't Hide From

With more pirates setting sail, one of the most common questions we hear is: how do you efficiently pick up pieces of eight from your manufactories without constantly sailing out there yourself?

This guide will break down everything you need to know about auto-collect zones, manufactory upgrades, ship management, and strategies to maximize your Pieces of Eight income while preparing for higher-tier challenges.

Understanding Auto-Collect Zones

The first thing every Skull and Bones player needs to learn is the importance of territories and auto-collect zones.

Skull and Bones players who have stuck through the torpedo woes of previous patches are finally getting their moment in the sun. Despite a flurry of nerfs in other areas of the game, torpedoes have received some substantial buffs, and nowhere is that more apparent than when paired with the Sloop-a small but powerful ship that's quickly becoming the surprise star of both PvE and PvP content.

In College Football 26, few cards come with the hype and mystique of the Clinton Portis Gauntlet Reward. Not only is this card ultra-rare due to a glitch that locked him behind a broken reward track for days, but it also boasts one of the most complete running back stat lines in the game. And after watching him dominate Ultimate Dynasty matches and rack up yardage with style, one thing is clear: Clinton Portis might be the best back in CFB 26.

Today we're diving deep into one of the most efficient and downright fun builds for Skull and Bones. If you're looking for a reliable ship to dominate ship-to-ship combat, wreck level 20 NPC ships, and turbocharge your Helm progression-this Crew Attack-focused Sambuk build might just be your next favorite setup.

Let's break down everything from the ship loadout, crew synergies, weapon perks, and Helm farming strategy that will keep your Pieces of Eight flowing strong well into Season 2 and beyond.

Why the Sambuk?

One such system, often overlooked by players, is the use of containers-cracked pots, ritual pots, hefty cracked pots, and perfume bottles-for crafting powerful consumables. While these may seem like minor utility items at first, a deeper look reveals just how versatile and devastatingly effective they can be in both combat and exploration.

Whether you're a new Tarnished or a seasoned warrior, understanding how to use these items can make your journey through the Lands Between significantly smoother-and deadlier.

The Types of Containers

Welcome to the chaos of Diablo 4, where chasing perfection is more than a goal-it's a lifestyle. Crafting has always been a core pillar of endgame progression, but in Season 9, it's more complex, rewarding, and punishing than ever. From the basics of tempering to the high-stakes lottery of Mythic crafting, we're breaking it all down so you can stop wasting gold and start building gear that actually gets you into the top ranks.

In the sprawling, cryptic world of Elden Ring, weapons aren't just tools-they're identity, strategy, and survival rolled into one. Whether you're a dex-scaling rogue who pirouettes around enemies with twinblades or a faith-infused paladin crushing foes with divine wrath, your weapon choice defines you. But what if we told you there's a hidden edge to almost every weapon class-some quirks, synergies, or outright glitches that can drastically enhance your gameplay?

In the sprawling, brutal world of Elden Ring, few Ashes of War are as satisfying and devastating as Ice Spear. It's not only visually stunning-it's also mathematically potent when paired with the right stats, weapons, and buffs.

Whether you're a PvE veteran looking for consistent boss melts or a PvP menace wanting ranged pressure and burst, this build is tuned for both destruction and survivability. Let's break it all down.
