story express will give you more starting mats for committing to the entire story.
the north vern power pass will just saves you time by skipping the level 10-50 story
so we're talking close to 20 hours of gameplay before you get that gear
if u have the time to do the story, story express is better
daamn story is 20h?
probably more
actually maybe 20 is accurate
i remember people were saying upto north vern was like 9 hours
story express is 17-20 hours yes
and then after north vern theres like 5 continents of story
took me 1168 minutes from yudia to punika story finished
so add rethramis and south vern to it and it's like
21-22 hours
and i know what i'm doing, although i'm not super fast the entire time
the other thing is that the gear kinda sucks for doing the story
good to know, well ill probably do story express and do it slowly
+15 Brel gear
oh u can still do it
wait
what gear do you have +16...?
brel or relic
are your 2 relic pieces just +15?
g1 is 16, g2 is 16, g3 is 20, g3 is 28
you would need two +18 Brel Pieces and two +17 Brel Pieces, with your two +15 Relic (1490) pieces
to hit 1540
yeah i usually just do it the long way
if you did g1-g3 week 1 and g1-g4 in 2nd week you can get that
by getting all my brel pieces first
do i do dailys or plat field 
is there a hurry with plat fields? are they changing it or smething?
IM BROKE
oh
they're just Life Skilling "dungeons"
most people use them to farm an insane amount of flowers
cuz of the Green Thumb buff from Lv30 Foraging
wut
Once again I'm trying to excavate and some mokoko bozo shows up
And they say sasha dead server -_-
oh i get what you mean, no foraging didnt get a buff
usually you would fish/excavate outside in the open world
but platinum fields is just godlike for foraging
you'll most likely make x3 or x4 flowers than fish/relics in Plat Fields
i keep having more and more dreams
it surely has a meaning

but only if you have Lv30 Foraging
ill do like 30ish rested chaos then some plat fields 
i used to be like that, holding plat tickets forever
i did 5 per day to get them outta the way
and then i had to craft pots for like 3 weeks straight
I don’t wanna know how much I have
34 actually, i already did 14 non rested
And spending money cause I want another 1580 
seek help
🐳
i havent done them in like 2 weeks
wha
heck yeah, free select
yeah that would be nice too tbh
Go do cubes
ive barelly farmed 1m last week+ this week
1m card xp? per week?
17 mil what?
500k-600k / week
all of the above
from what

cubes / boats / dailys
chaos dungeons and fate embers
^
lucky xp packs give 2-6 meneliks
i guess ive never kept track of how much i get in a week
i somehow dropped 4 x 4 leggy exp last week
ye but i do lower chaos dungeons
THE GAME WONT GIVE ME ANY DAMN PROCYONS
the card xp is the same regardless of item level. it's just gamba
Plain Card Xp is x2, Lucky Legendary can be anything from 2-6
ok time to turn off brain and go through 30 cds
AAAA i have to max guild contribution too
fuck
tl;dr there's just "Xp Card" or "Card Pack" rolls that are just randoms or low-roll of xp.
The drops with alliteration are the super duper mega lucky select/high-xp drops
reason why purple is happy because it's meant to be Happy Heroic, Lucky Legendary etc.
Well, I got dd30 today 
KLC or MoS?
Still gonna use los18 because dd looks ugly 
I don’t even have los30 bro
I just dont get drops
I have more Thaemines than Clowns
Think I have more Brel than vykas
why can i not abandon these shitty ass memory quests
i don't want to see them on my UI and they suck
i don't want to have them on my quest ui
i already have enough quests and the game already complains sometimes that i have too many quests and can't take new ones
i want to delete this garbage from the list
bet you kick dogs too you heartless bastard
I’d never done past old g4 until this week.
brrroooo im so dumb
is the only way to continue doing them until the chain ends?
i wanted to keep the arktoberfest coins till the end of the event and i bought 1m silver by mistake
F
I’m no professional, but that sounds unhealthy.
cocaine is helluva drug
thats just insomnia 
i am alive

not for long 


hello alive
report yumi
I always knew I could count on you Parsha
welcome back hunnie, how was your day
except for that time I asked you to do my cubes and you ghosted me
I just woke up 
good morning h unnie
fayten its my child
she wants to do the seggs with you
tf you mean
stop lying
im kind and cute
rmt
what you dont wanna be bullied more?

bully more*
this you?
me just woke up me sad
well im always sad so thats no news XD
btw that zerker just left for no reason lol
missed me
3rd day in a row i dream 
i dont wanna wake up 

this isn't #anti-emo-shitpost
what happened to that channel
no, lost ark won't grind itself 

wtf is this lol
too bad
i told her to get some shinies in pokemon and she got entire boxes 
What up
That was on wrong channel
But heya. Nothing much
Just sadge I went 90% on 2 pieces

I'm done with reddit, "elephant scratches his stomach with his ..." 
I got a ds3 grudge 5 100 qual ring. Have to get that sold for 60k-70k
Then I won't be poor anymore
I just have to get it sold first 
Euc prices
I built up ds for 13k yesterday
It's listed for 90k
But I think that's a bit overpriced
For it's worth
You could go 90~ qual for 190++ crit instead of going for 100 qual for that 200 crit
10 crit won't make that big of a difference
What qual tho
80+
Decent ngl
Including my books, i built it with around 25-30k at max
The only piece I'm not okay with is my neck. 60 qual. And as far as I remember I think I have Grudge 4 and hit master 3 on it.
i wanna hone but i know i should save my gold for my main but if i hone i could get more gold 
I have to look for a better neck, 90+ qual with grudge and hm
My rule of thumb is park at 1490, farm mats for main, hone main for 1540, park main there untill you decide what you want to do
Hone main further? Keep doing that or make another alt at 1490
my main is 1550
yup
And 1490 all?
neck was the most expensive for me, it was 10k for 4/3 as well and it's 89 qual
thats what i wanna do but i end up spending like 5k on fusion mats 
The mats are dirt cheap too
@tulip charm I need ur help
worst part is

Yeah, fusion bottlenecks
i need to do valtan and vykas on my SH and vykas on my pally and blade
Use bound from stronghold?
i only get my fusions from stronghold unless i get a chest
well, I didn't get shit from mokoko event
i can get 4p on my blade but needa do vykas a few times
just dont know g2 very well and well people dont LP it much anymore
They do
You'd be surprised how many get jailed g2 vykas
Ah, LP as in learning party
i never see them
u can mostly get away with follow the leader on vykas
Vykas g2 hard is free
i did on my bard
Valtan vykas and maybe clown is kinda free nowadays
long as ur not a literal griefer
For clown you only gotta know marios in g3 and follow pings on bingo
But just ask for m1/2 on mario

Clown isn't free
did they give like, a reason
Even people with 1k clears fuck up on 3
Depends on the group
nope
Well 1 or 2 wipes is still decent
I have seen braindead morons in this game accuse people of being imposter for mistakes trhat were literally someone else's fault
so i wouldn't be too fussed abt that
Dw
Trust us. Vykas is free
Also this
as long as you don't drop ur swiftness puddle in the poop puddles and help kill the worms, and help shield if ppl fail the typing test, ur fine
The only thing on clown you gotta worry about is gauge control
idk why u got flamed but it was probably bc someone was being a dump ass
But then, you can just pay 2500 gold for a dmg boost and you do tacts
Easiest way to learn clown imo
i've done clown
Since you only focus on tacts / gauge control / dodge / patterns / clockwise pattern / bingo
i just wanna learn clown on my supp as well just in case
and by monday night all the parties are spooky
I like clown lowkey
Enjoyable
Still need to get my title tho
2 more clears
I lacked on clown big times before I quit
I just accepted that i prog thru the raids in this game real slowly since i only raid when i feel in the mood to do it
once i start thinking "omg i have so many weeklies to run" im like nah time to play a diff game
Brel 1 is free. 2, a bit harder than 1. But not that hard
not gonna let myself cry abt not minmaxing my virtual currency gains
You won't get invited in 4 without plc or high roster + ilvl
new one g2 is so easy comparativley lol
Prokel was easy too but 7 people would afk so 8'th can 1v1 prokel in a cockfight
i hated old g2 if not prokeling
Glad it's gone too
shitloads of visual noise for a fight that amounted to wait for the guy inside to kill prokel
i was mid learning prokel but then I heard he was getting removed so never properly learned it lol
esp in norm since you didn't even have to do most of the skull mechs
just safe spot
carl sucks
He always bitch slaps me when I charge Snipe
i fucking love doing carl lol
Or flies away
I started soloing him bc i'm tired of people being like "i have never opened a battle item chest in my life"
the hell is this
or songing out when people don't claim item uses
excavating map
it's like maps from chaos gates
Map
but instead of killing a monster you open a chest
worth doing?
Yes
It's free map
gives like 100 white relics
I wish there were more relics in the like
second half of that route
up to where you fight stella
i never go that way
but of course we can't have routes for exca that don't wlal you with monkeys slapping you
there are a handful there
it's not BAD esp since no one ever goes up there
it's worth doing still bc you can get legendary/relic craft kits if you're lucky
those sell for hella gold
yeah ik i sold a relic kit for like 30k
i always sell the solar ggraces n shit too
bc i'm not getting past 1540 anytime soon 
1580 will take me till next july at the rate i play lol
i unintentionally got past 1540
had like 30% art on my wep so i figured i would hone a small bit
it hit
and then i tried again, got it within a few taps
so i just kept going
chad behavior
my main is at like uhhh 1523 i think
next week will likely hit 1540 cuz my brel set should be done
then i will park until i feel like doing clown
since i'm not troll enough to try kayangel without set bonus upgr lmao
yea i think having partial is fine since it shows uve done it at all tho yk
vs me who has not touched

tbf
clown is considered a lot harder than like valtan/vykas and ive seen ppl even think its harder than nerfed brel
i did do it with some guildmates
so i think not having it at all is mega gatekeep for pugs
oh no clown is easier than it looks
when i first saw clown im like nah im good because it looks like a chaotic shithole
TODAY not tomorrow TODAY aaaaaa
i did the special difficulty in matchmakin once lol
we couldnt finish g2 cuz some dumb ass kept falling off before the maze thing
i've never done them difficulty things
so when i proc conviction i only have 3 seconds to use my judgement skill to try nd proc judgement?
you on a bard or something?
yea usually you put them on skills you use in sequence
AT scouter why?
ye i put the gems according to the guide i just didnt realize conviction is only 3 seconds haha
oh a dps
idk how easy it is to get it on a scouter
your rune only being 20% is rough though
Just buy leg ones 
yeah cj is peepee below leg
are you on JS?
ye
ah
I still don't have leg judgement bc imagine having friends to stronghold check lmao lul
also lazy
dont need friends
U in a guild?
ask area chat

back then there was a shit ton of people in the ocean so i just asked there always if people had x merchant for what i required lol

u can just go to any random person SH?
yeah u can
yeah

But they might have it set to only friends can buy or something
i dnt have many raid seals on JS yet but fuck it lets try
i think you need a good chunk of seals
i forget how many it is
Hmmm .. sleep or homework?
it's due in 1 day
i feel like it's like 8k
is only way to get seals thru dispatch?
but yeah i can just click on anyone and visit lol


do u have commitments in the morning and time to finish the hw tomorrow
if yes do tomorrow
if no do now
pretty much
i have too many seals
the mokoko express will give u 10k of each flavor at 1540
but otherwise yeah
nope I can sleep in 
jesuss wtff
im sure the people here that have been playing the entire time has a lot more than me
oh the storty express also gives 10k of each one when its done
Pre-Los30 I was buying card packs with all of mine 
which trader for card packs
i think they are the green ones
i bought a card pack earlier just now from mine nd got nothing
whats up? i saw the message just now
oh this?
but you can convert any of them

i might as well
A variety of merchants have em
i have like
until you have all the important runes i'd just sit on your seals
oh okay
those card packs won't be nearly as helpful as the js ones or the runes for getting u more dmg early on
poggers
bruh some of these ppl in JS still dnt have a stronghold
powdersnow party 
yea overwhelm is the least important leg rune (besides cj for some classes) but the easiest to get the double of
like 


so many people are vets and stronghold is just a lot of work lol
most classes only use 1 OW anyways lol
I would like stronghold more if they kept old farm alongside the new one and added some optional grindability to it
which runes can he have by chance?
but that's bc i'm a freak who likes grindy buildy stuff and life skills
looks like i need to get saha
idt tago can havy any useful ones
but ik my friend came back to check out the game few weeks ago nd he kept looking for the old mine or w/e haha
im like 
i think they removed it
old mine?
useful ones are tuleu, borza, marte
for stronghold runes

@dim lark This one is always x2, the Lucky Xp will be 2-6
their wep didn't load and i thought this shit was an ayaya lol
in the stronghold you used to have like
a cave
and do actual life skills there
isnt that still there
you used to do like proper hunting and exca and fishing in the cave
then logging and foraging on the island that's there now
hmm
the area might still exist if you prog your stronghold enough and unlock it
but you don't interact with the gatherables the same way
since it's all just the autogrow/autoharvest once a day now
oh yeah gone
I totally get why they changed it and stronghold lifeskilling was a bad idea anyway
but i want a more grindy buildy type stronghold
it was shit anyways but eh lol

yeah it wasn't even worth doing then and just took more time than the current way
but I love lifeskilling
i wish life energy was not a thing and i could just gather into eternity
its still shit but it dont take time
SAME
omgg
i swear id grind until lvl 30 for everything in one day
haha
i love life skilling
its all i did back in the day in rune scape
i would 100% keep my account entirely for lifeskilling and never raid again if it were unlimited lmao
was mine nd log
The cave/island actually let you pick what mats you got tho... whether you get oreha mats etc or just white ones
i learned different names of trees nd it was so cool
you better not
i even had a friend who had a willow tree nd the only way i knew it was him was bc of osrs

yea it took more time and was still a bad use of life energy but enabled more targeted farming for fusion mats
good
but in general was still worse than just regular lifeskilling even so
so i get why they got rid of it
yea its cool to learn stuff like this while also experience the simple joy
of standing in a pretty place and smack tree for hours
mhmm
I love life skilling in lost ark even more than osrs bc the locations are beautiful
I would totally play it endlessly just grinding mats while i watch stuff lol
yeah the sight of mokoko's stealing your purple excavating spot is just a wonderful sight to ponder at
how bad is it to keep relic tools? bc i saw something called trade skill restoration or something, is the relic tools not just repairable like the others?
they need to make excav like if i found this relic only I can pick it up
man this character is so fucking old lol
candaria territory fishing spots are gorgeous
candaria territory in general so pretty
mhmm
so old i still have kalaja as my song 
i think relic tools are advised against bc they cost gold to repair
but idk for sure
most ppl say to aim for leg and not relic
relic tools aren't worth the cost anyways
on god
oh okay i see
so just go for lego?
ye
WTFF
holy shit lol
whats the first box? just thaemine mats?
you want super armor, basic material yield gain, and for fishing and exca minigame reward bonus and minigame difficulty decrease
for your bonuses
does anyone know how the timings for the wandering ships?
waiting for the one on south vern to come but dont know when it comes
this just what i have

about on the half hour
iirc
but they all follow a route of islands
im tempted to do SV on any character that hasn't done it yet just for the card packs ngl
do you know that route?
yea i think minigame difficulty reduced is worse than gather speed if ur good at the minigames
also does that mean its on 8:30 that it comes here?
holy shit
haha
does that mean i have to explore all those islands to know where is the south vern one?
u think i should buy a few purple boxes?
What i did when i needed the wandering ship was start at the respective major city and then just sail to all those islands
starting at like 20 min after the hour
you'll usually come across it before you get to the end
I don't know that there's a set order they spawn in
not as much is documented about the wandering boats as the other merchants
i think what actually happens is they spawn at one of them and stay for about half an hour?
a google is telling me they spawn at the top of the hour and stay in the one spot for 30min



you know it sure would be nice if any of these were my bottleneck lol
yup
yup
theyre so stingy with orehas in particular

pls is there not enough i must waste my resources and energy on
i got a decent amount of shards if i run out
he dropped sidereal energy so hes sharing the wealth
I will not be running out of shards on my main anytime soon since i have uh, 1 mil, and no intent of pushing past 1540 for some time

my supp has half a mil too
but my bf somehow always out of shards
if this DB mvp's in carl im done
i always mvp carl on reflux sorc
i mean she at least has full engravings so its nowhere near as lmao
time to see how carl goes
but im like man ... the state of the average player if one of the most memed on classes is always chadding in carl
there are sometimes just no merchants i think
oh okay
maybe not if you have everry single merchant unlocked
but i have most of them and still sometimes have an empty merch spot
how u unlock the others? i gotta check mine then
various ways
Talking to random peeps and calling them animal abusers and murderers
i think i need 
one is tied to feiton adventure tome
i just said flaramone
one you get from doing a quest on atropos island
one from an una's daily in yorn
those r all i remember
oh okay
should be some info on maxroll for them
lol

there is nothing wrong here
tbf reflux sorc runs nightmare and i always forget to activate it by awakening before i start dumping skills
so it's almost like not having it

i get halfway thru my first dump and im like oh fuck where magick addiction
i have competition
bro its ALWAYS zerkers that song out or dc for me

and the bard went afk because zerker left
akkan ready
fuck this shit im songing out
i often see alot of ppl leave just bc no support

this happened once where the bard was at least like
man song out
to me and my friend
and we were like. nah we can just kill him ourselves
fuck y'all nerds

still only took 5-6 min with two functional players
it took me 9 min to solo carl the other day and i feel like when i get better at not standing in everything he ever does i could easily get it down to like
the same amount of time it takes in the average mm


it would take us the entire 20 min to kill carl with the engravings the slinger and i had lol
lmao yeah
plus they had a whole lvl 2 engrave!
maybe if someone didnt log in for the day or they didnt enter SH for the day theres no merchant?

aren't u 1x3 and 3x1 or smth on her
anyone with 20k amythesy shards to spare and wants 15k gold 


- defence reduction
oof
alright time to see if someone leaves again
so 3 groups cleared hard g4, and bongking/jiudau probably clears pretty soon too,
are there even 6 more groups capable of this
Leapstones, Gold, Silver or Fusions?
Leapstones? Do your guardians
Silver? Go do Lopangs
Fusions? Go Lifeskill
Gold? Kek go swipe
how many alts do i need?
as many as you wish to make
granted the problem with pushing 1 main is NA specifically can be a bunch of toxic assholes expecting you to have 10 clears 3 weeks in
Not all of NAE but ya’ll’ve seen them in Party Finder
you dont need alts, its just as many as u want to play 
more means more gold and shit but also more shit to do
This
leaps and fusions
and more gold on alts usually comes from daily stuff like guardian leapstones or fate embers. No gold from Legion Raids outside the main 6 unless you’re bussing
shit to do does not just include dailies and raids btw, you also have to invest in them as in hone, get accs, eyc
etc
Yeah so Guardian Raids and Lifeskills

Lifeskills for mats, run the platinum fields and sell herbs
hell no them plat fields are ass lol
been doing excavating plat fields, pretty chill
8-12k per run aint bad
plat field is chill
They are also pretty chill
Is there actually gold in exc plat? How does it work?
are you selling the mats you get from plat fields or is all the gold coming from those things you have to drag to spawn?
get a few thousand, assume plant gathering is way more
lowkey I'd rather plat field all day for gold rather than raid
Foraging plat being all about resets and green thumb is stressing me out
It's both stressful and boring the worst of both worlds
excavating plat fields great for blue mats
since i never get enough of those from normal excavating
i sell like 1k+ of the blues a week because i dont need them
I've been selling all excav mats and crafting with fish lately anyway
cba to minmax like that, i just self gather and self craft everything
Red oreha blue:white ratio is broken
oh yeah blue mat cost of red mats being 5x previous tier is kinda jank
i like raiding i just dont know them very well 
i could easily do 20x valtans a week if i could just because i know it
yes?
Help me pick 6 numbers from 1-49
what an odd request
7, 10, 19, 32, 45, 26
Thanks 
123456

loawa of my main char : https://loawa.com/char/쫓agam
more about build : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XGfjALoFsI&feature=youtu.be
kr doing 30mil dmg
while we doing 15-18mil

elixirs + having higher level on akkan gear

elixir itself can be like an extra lvl 3 engraving
when done properly

ur doing 15-18?
pretty sure im sub 15 in trixion 
isn''t it more like
2 lvl 3 engravings at max?



I think my DB is pulling 18m per second in trixion
notbard main


Saint was saying it can be over 30% for some classes while others are stuck at maybe 25%
probably because of crit rate value for some classes
there wont be next char, no more slots
so it benefits classes without high crit alrdy more? 
stuff like EO soulfist
u alrdy have 15, u can get more

u could change name on ur main
to notafk

Notdead


Isn’t it the opposite 
No
Thought u get crit from it
wtf

I found the guy who has the actal Nineveh username
feels good man
I though u can’t use same name as a character
Hmm striker main or sorc main. 
By we, I meant the akkan hm gamers with 20-25 akkan wep
Paly
I don't even have akkan wep
I’m Akkan hm gamer 
Don’t have Akkan weapon yet cuz I’m f2p
Next week I’ll have it

Month 2 akkan hm* gamer
F2p man 

Hone it to 20 at least
I’ll prob only get to 17 with bounds
And let me know how much your parse goes up

f2p
I have no bounds 
I have a lot of juice saved up
1.7% damage increase per weapon tap?
That’s wut I heard
thats not too bad
I'll get wep next month and gigahone to 20
Why not 25
Hopefully leaps go down in price by then


its ok, ill go away
nobody likes me


i can give my acc to my sister
