and it doesnt cost any more to buy 1585 and then later buy 1600
as opposed to buying straight to 1600
Thres also no real benefit to being 1600
if you live in usa 20$ doesn't sound to bad for 1585
the time you spent grinding to 1585 can be time working 
There's no benefit in 1585 either. 1600 just saves you more gold
Akkan being a t3 raid , and old at that... they should have considered giving more akkan eyes so long ago
5 weeks is dumb
mhm
I live in usa, it's all ab perspective. If you don't mind waiting around for 5 weeks then its nbd. I've bought plenty pp myself.
As is, i'm spending the 5 weeks to do it xD
need 300 Akkan eyes for full set, 44 from solo + buying chests per week
- solo mode shop
takes so long
did you see how pathetic the event chest is for 1600
They are doing everything in their power to prevent people from getting into t4 easily
like bro?
btw it be like this from now on or am i doing something wrong
???
.
I mean, weapon taps aren't cheap at that stage
20% artisan does sound a bit low tho
Yeah and you're tapping in t4 at that
Welcome to endgame honing
It'll be ass from now on
why so many people rat at 1640 
Cheap fuckers
Its really funny that the ivory tower 1610 chest is a billion times worse than the thaemine chest, when they are both the same item level
and also why they're nerfing AH lul
The 5:1 conversion makes me want to stroke out
aight i feel better now, honing from 1640 to 1650 felt so easy, that i felt that i was doing something wrong
14k lmao
14k shards, you shouldnt have smilegate
no really, you shouldnt have!
how generous of them
Naw, 1640 is just the beginning of t4 essentially. 1650 to 1660 wont be HORRIBLE - but it will still be a tad pricy.
Don't let it be that that players have fun playing :d
1640 is giga smoothe to get out of thankfuilly
i saw people earlier saying that people are ungrateful for complaining about the chest event, and its "better than nothing"
You will need roughly this much to get 1660 from 1650
Biggest cost of 1640-1660 is oreha and blue/red crystals
Whale bait
im not talking about frog
was referring to Yzka's comment
They way they phrased it in notes sounded like Solo would get extra materials and possibly eyes in solo echidna
Old Frog was 1.5k per chest
What does solo echidna do for the majority of new players stuck in t3
fuck all ngl
Akkan gear needed honing rates adjustments last year but KR version dragging the rest of us
Because KR spends money and asks questions after
1640 Rice farming fears screwing entire fucking game
200k just from taps doesn't sounds so bad, the problem is the materials 
silver elixirs dropping in the Tower chests would be nice
thaemine extra chest should have 100k weekly honor shards in it if they refuse to nerf the costs
not fuckin 15k
should i buy the materials in the market or just farm daily from events and front kurzan
It’s not terrible. It just takes a little time.
1640 -1660 was pretty chill for me
Should definitely do life skills to make your own orehas
just need to get a little lucky, i have pity every piece am not getting out of this in months
And by the time you hit 1660 you’ll have aegir gear to farm so honing won’t be top of the list unless you want to rush 1670 for Brel
only thing we can suggest is just use books and cube support drops and hope
And at this point that's just wait until April for the Adv honing QoL
6 more taps and my main raiders get out of Thaemine
i dont think i have anywhere else to get books from
solo shop
or is that T4 you're trying to hone?
I have a bunch of those
but i was keeping them for adh
should i use them now for normal hone?
even doing half juice for normal honing cuts it down by a third, we're getting a decent amount that you'll able to build some level of them back up over the next month
in similar spot (GL is parked whilst he does Transcendence)
Ayaya 
I have one of each support that I had in main 6, killed bard during Akkan and Artist I play because the skills are actually fun
Bard just a fate ember farmer
at least i have all my trans +21 now
spent alot of gold on that
What’s your mains ilvl?
1685
Chonky
they'd be 1695 if Adv 11-20 was done
Yeah I need it too
would rather entire 6 no longer doing a 1 year old raid :<
oh another MMO did server merges, and one of my characters lost their name.
@ancient tundra
dumbass discord tagging
blocked by an actually competent chat filter

say gex
it is the worst one so far i think yes
i really thought there was gonna be adv gold scrolls 11>20 in the frog
instead they added that to the f4 shop today
What are the recommended una dailies for leaps
does loa do an april fool's event? thought it'd be funny to give out "guaranteed? success honing stones" that always fail and "questionable relic selector pouches" that blow up and disintegrate when you select an engraving book
Are you a psychopath
I have very little to no joy completing raids these days 
3 of my static members feel the same
they turned the game of yesterday right after the static brel hm run
I’m not saying mhwilds is perfect but every boss I do have fun fighting it. Lost ark I am feeling numb even on different characters
well mh wilds is new so there is that
pve games will eventually get stale
its just the nature of it
to top it of, there is no inovation regarding content. Everything which has been proposed by SG got shutdown by the korean player base
nah, april fool's is supposed to be when players get trolled, if only that wasn't every event lately
they fucked up, should have released frog on april 1st
it's gonna be a shitty frog by virtue of people not caring about cards already
yeah
you and your friends might see it that way
not the community
most people aren't gonna get enough cards to get anything out of them by the time the raids are out
yep
i will keep buying the card frog
tbf, the community doent know what it wants most of the time
i need the selector bag and selector pack still, no other way to get it except frog tokens
Raids are complete in a day
they can do it whenever lmao
i am done with all raids except 2 on the main, last aegir and brel hm tmrw
most of our huge group static is just playin destiny 2, league, maplestory and some other games now
we finish our shit
dailies on rest
afk 90m a ady
Yeah, but they are just straight up closing the game after one raid done out of 18
reasonable
would have been done today, but static had to push the brel to tmrw
I got 1 Aegir left then the rest I do solo
the game is stale/stagnant
real
and not cause of "more raid releases"
this game has nothing out of raiding
it's because smilegate's been removing content instead of reworking it
exactly
they've always been very slow at adding content
eh
its partly SG's fault
they can add content slowley
its mainly Korean player mentality
its just raids on top of raids
It's because you need to farm raids we've had for a year now to get anywhere close to new ones and the new ones aren't worth doing because of how toxic the veterans are. no long-term stuff because they release one horizontal piece of content a year
but they remove it
there is literally nothing to do beside raids and your gathering skill energy
because Global has better options for social games
Imagine..
If this game had other things to do\
It already has the best combat available
thats why so many of us are here still
platinum fields - removed!
you mean like crafting that wasn't arbitrarily limited, they expanded the stronghold system.
Had trophies and more side content like Tier 1-2 did that had a longer shelf life
that's probably the most bizarre removal of something in the game
it's content that even veterans have only seen maybe a dozen times
over 3 years
and that's only one of the plat fields areas
before it got removed me and my friends went into the other one, because none of us had ever seen it
Imagine if all the island events were actually worth doing instead of just skipped over
nah
not possible
they should've reworked all the island questlines to give relevant mats too
a long time ago
but yeah, adventure islands give what? 1.5k gold now?
meanwhile raid gold has gone from like 3k to 30k in the same time frame
use to give 1/3 of raiding gold, now they barely give 1/10th
actually you might be right, i forget how much gold argos gave
4.5k
wait, argos gave straight up legion raid gold?
It wasn't "legion raid gold" it was just gold
i know but legion raids - valtan, vykas, and clown all gave 4.5k
Argos Valtan Vykas and Clown all gave 4500
i thought argos gave less
before they added the Endgame marking, you got gold from everything as long as you hadn't overlevelled it
the limit was you had 3 weekly locks
adventure islands aren't 10x behind
Adventure Islands vs Echidna
they give like 1.2k gold
only like 5x behind i think
5x?
@dull obsidian

yeah but they gave like 1k gold back when we made 4.5k from a legion raid
otherwise its 150m dps
now they give 1.5k when we make 30k
FUCK
so it's about 5x
Aerroon
they gave 800 not 1k
AERROON
and that's if you were 1490+
THAE IS 18K GOLD
BEHE IS 18K GOLD
ECHIDNA IS 19.5K GOLD
AEGIR NM 24K
AEGIR HM 30K
BREL NM 27.5K
BREL HM 34K
adventure island gives 1200 gold
if you win
1400 if u get first 
800 out of 4.5k is 17.8%
17.8% out of 30k is 6052
6052 / 1200 = 5x
i think even if adventure islands gave 6k gold
i still wouldn't do em
they take "too much time"
it's not that they last too many minutes, but you gotta be there precisely on the hour
Islands arent the content i am picturing tho
more like the scrapped game mode ideas
could have been intigrated into gold earning on the side or a distinct, second progression path
no more hell content
its just literally raids raids raids
so what have they removed over the years?
- platinum fields
- hell mode
- ghost ship
- challenge abyss
- challenge guardians
they removed pretty much everything which isnt a raid and added zero
things which are still accessible:
- islands (noone does them anymore)
- shiping (noone does this anymore)
- pvp (noone does this anymore)
yeah, well and life skilling...
the weirdest thing about life skilling for me is that we have a giant world map
with interesting places to potentially explore where they could do cool stuff like place good node farming spots
or move them around randomly
cause its made to progress your honing
something to go back to all the old areas you haven't been to in 3 years
the system itself is just another busy work
but nah, you can ONLY do life skilling in this one section of this one area
everywhere else is a grief
its not fleshed out cause its a necessary stepping stone. Nothing more.
wanna do mining? buddy, you get a quarter of this one map that only ever has 1 channel
enjoy!
even tho, there is nothing much to do, they couldnt be bothered to rework supports
my little noob alt made 8k gold just clearing up through punika, gotta love collectibles, paying for me to buy out other zones
I have all other collectibles through farming and all the rapports
just missing that one collectible for 100%

Full list of stuff they have outdated over the years is actually insane when you factor in that everything that gives harmony stones/leaps used to give the same currency
imagine buying those 
I have a 2h work meeting... guess its time to farm 1k voldis mat
smilegate could make multiple raids out of the gates that have been removed
speaking of
that would've been a great way to do some kind of "strike raid"
you bring back firehorn for one gate
Why can't i craft here?
Me denying applications to Behemoth raid
you have bound gold? that recipee uses unbound gold
AH..............
Oh well, thanks. I was wondering
you can use bound gold only on the farm tab
yeah i have only 119 bound so that explains why
prior to chaos gates there was a thing called Antares Nightmare
rip ghost ships
that was before my time i think
akkan wasn't enough to get me enough akkan cards
ghost ship was tho

Completing Music Box #20...
you're missing out on the suffering, better get started
btw what's the best the Spanish version of the flower chant is Clemaman

Anybody got the link of kr's balance patch ?

guys, anyone has a list of all the available XP sources?
literally anything
you play the game


I mean like xp potion shops etc.
what comes into my mind is Solo Raid shop, the Ship's shop, Guild shop
what else?
raids ofc, chaos dungeons, guardians
Not that many tbh, I think pvp vendor may, but if you actually need to level and want to quick, do some story. Put on a movie and shift G your way through
raids, chaos, cubes, guardians, chaos dungeons, sudden quests, MSQ, xp potions, adventure islands, quests, sailing co-op, Towers.
stronghold training
sadly, I already went though all of the quests
getting my 1st one to 70
just wanted to get there asap lol
o_o
Solo whatever raids you can for no gold or gold if that’s the way you Do typically. Almost everything in game will give you xp
Asunn actually able to afford this
thought hes banned for rmting for the 100th time
Did you use express?
Those pots are roster bound and if you hit 1660, you’ll have enough to hit 70 plus more pots
Anyone have a spreadsheet of extra mat boxes we’re getting from event for clearing?
Did this game just have us drug a child?
wait, they are ROSTER bound? or Character?
Roster
dont touch advanced honing until we get the nerfs to it Korea got this week
50% less mats, 20% less gold 
also, should I buy the books for increased success rate?
uhh no 
relic selection, card packs and aegir pieces/behemoth scales etc. if you plan to bring another alt up
random relic pouches if you want to gamba
I was thinking if I should buy from the AH the tailoring books
no
T4 books no
T3 sure they’re cheap af
na, the books are rip
not worth
books aren't worth it with the price they are, use event books or use cube earned jellybeans
So guess I’m waiting for tomorrow for last music box

bring a marching banner and flares and its super fast
That's our favourite kinda stuff
EU education mb
Was in patchnotes
Better than NAE education, no excuse
did I match with a dead person?
"Kicked from Raid, Party member failed to load in"

So can confirm, I matched with a dead person
that is a crime in Lost ark
gold didnt drop below 300k or so for long time, and only dropped cos 2 weeks ago i bought like 4 gems
right before prices crashed 😦
buy high - sell low
@nova garden Carry me in lost ark raids. I know you are juiced
Lol
how ?
everyone created dps and deleted their rat pally
im not even at 1640 he is stuck in the limbo of 1600-1620
since 1600-1620 is as costly as honing to 1660
or 1670
Only raid I know is valtan
Cute
New player, 1680 is free anyway
Honed with the mokoko leaf event 
You get one shot in heavy armor anyway, makes no difference
#buffheavyarmor
Raids aren't like they used to be
Now it's like things that deal no damage, insane damage, or it sets your HP to 1% anyway

I don't even tend to get one-shotted with no heavy armor.
Kat you need to shield more 
"tend to"
I mean If I stand in 6 Aegir hard Explosions during the special zone then ofc?

Not supposed to stand in EVERYTHING
but I can stand in a lot 
People now days stand in shit on purpose then get mad when they die
Dumb dps goblins
dying to mechs like an opera singer to poisoned cups of tea
Lmao wtf
Give gems
I accidentally tanked a line in brel and got one shot xD
Yup, was doing Brel hm, DRd first pattern, second pattern was on cd, reaper dies and flamed me for the entirety of the raid lol, mind you no one else died… was standing in Shit and missed his JG… it’s my fault though lol
lol yep. People are idiots
that explains "sometimes toxic"
Random pattern
Idk, didn't know they hurt that much before xD
My poor bard
caaards, and the pet is cute


this is the best ever
The fuck this supposed to do for me
ughn


stop provokin peepos in chat
cant find a big version of it in tenor saddies
well when its big its too much to handle 
is there any sup kitten to bring me as frien to normal brel?
you be fren, I be sup?
someone was quite passionate drawing that gif
about as passionate as the people drawing Dragon Ball Z characters
@thorny olive
Perv.
im talking about the ughn pepe you dentge
Lv.9's under 1 mil 

would sell surely

Whaaa
Why mee
Also if you said that in official they'd ban you 
Does this look like official?
totally not a double standard singleing that out though
there's a dps shortage
in highest content
thus making supp shortage issue "non existent"

im dps get me into brel norm plz
takes me a min to find one
on ilvl

first lobby
very hard
sup shortage only exists to people whose characters look like dogshit 
ratty supports rather join juicer dpses, then log onto their ratty dpses after and complain that they cant find ratty supports 
thats what I'm saying, there is indeed a dps shortage in brel hm rn. anything other than that is 100% fine
u not finding lobbies
is due to u not meeting their standards, however stupid they might be
behemoth is hard
there's definitely a support shortage
and i wonder if there's even a dps shortage in brel hard
or whether requirements for dps are so high people just don't meet them
a little bit of both
They arent high
but there are some insane 1690 rats out there
80m is like 1660 ilvl
idk whats the min but somewhere close to that I'd say
but no one wants a 20m per gate hw
i wouldn't go that
80m is possible for 1660 but i don't think it's the norm to be able to meet that
behe*
I haven't experienced sup shortage in those
behe doesn't count
well thats my point, sup shortage isn't really a thing
i havent seen anyone do more than 60 other than behe
at 1660
i did 85m on my 1670 wildsoul last week
on brel
but some of my other 1670 dpses did average more on the 65m range
and by some i mean just one
but i guess she's lacking gear too
Theres a big difference between 1670 and 1680 tho
yeah
Don't worry, 1680s can't reach 60m DPS anyway 🐀
My bf did 110m on his 1680 wildsoul in brel nm
And hes not even full aegir
Class is broken but still
80m dps for a 1690 shouldnt be hard to do
me and friends progged normal brel cause we weren't at hard ilvl
At all
its the bare min
like this is a 1680 on brel 2 nm
now I'm not saying
anyone doing less than this is popo blah blah
but a 1690 should at least be doing 95 bare min let alone 80
or less
Yea
keep in mind this SE has like
Dps requirement isnt high
0 relic book
not a single low roll
Lvl 5 gems
What the Gunlancer doing
🐢
im more worried about everyone being dead
in behemoth
why am i doing 70 with 1680
because you're a dps bard
na player unlucky
What they even dying to, tornado wipe??
i have no idea
give me 5s tho
i was one of the supps
I'll take them
i noticed in the last phase things were going slow

i look over, almost everyone's dead
man I love doing cubes
FMH?
yea
idk, i think FMH suits the fight way better
NE is back loaded
NE's dps is backloaded
NE cute
if I don't crit / miss one single scaffold guillo
and she also has to land stuff in a relatively small window
its gg
Did I miss anything important
dps tanks
if you mess up the timing stuff things fall apart
Outside of talking about SE needing nerf
god you're stupid
didn't we all just agree
yes yes SE broken wah wah
Eh, SE doesn't need any nerfs, it's balanced
Joke just fly by your head
destroyer best class
go look up numbers
overused joke
Put him back to D tier
can we nerf arti
True
and destro
Buff RE
i hope they buff NE
Buff se, wd, aero, zerker. Nerf soulfist and sorc
True, NE kinda shit
i just wish so much damage wasn't in Z + T
or that they both wouldn't be backloaded
or that meter wouldn't deplete constantly
or something like that
Nah, nerf Zerk to the ground
9 meter under
The furry stance numbers is interesting
Good luck getting ur T skill when every fight phases in 2 seconds followed by 5min downtime
Homework content favor front loaded classes, sniff
Oh my god the floor
popularity wise:
RE > igniter > FMH > peacemaker?!?! > asura > predator > NE > Mayhem?!?! > eso?!?!

something's messed up there
Go by best, NE is D tier
i play a bunch of NE SEs
and one FMH SE
and every time i do guardian on my FMH i remember why i switched
i hate running out of mana
idk if i keep running into paladins or supports that dont cycle
but somehow i run into mana issues
Probably paladins
next time i log on i should check whether i actually have the mana engraving on
maybe i took it off for some reason
Can they like nerf destroyer
what is wrong with people
i was thinking that i should make a destroyer with next express on an alt account
Well, they need the RNG cards
just so i can play the class in case the game dies
finally getting my hands back
No, keep destroyer the way jt is. Let me keep my frontal hammer boy worth supporting
It's supposed to be D tier >:(
only classes i haven't tried so far are destroyer, arti, and WD
Both WD variants have shit T skill and shit 4th node
free goldge
i wouldve been around 150m dps
this is my 3rd strongest
FUCK
i kind of see where my ceiling is now though
with good syn, support, and good run with avg luck
I didn't run meter for the past 2 weeks
prolly 170-180 yea
the other party
on a good rng run
look at their syn vs mine
1670 sup too
they doomed me
I don't have a 1680 SE anymore so I can't even test next week
next week i will try to aim for 160 on my 2nd strongest

its easy to upgrade mine
life is hard
ambush books are cheap
lvl 9 gems are cheap
well i say cheap since im 4 glaive roster
I could buy 9s for my pink skills rn
so gems are 4x cheaper for me than other people
wonder what class is most broken

im getting warned for posting meter with screenshots when no one was being shamed
great
I think it was the names
nice to see mods cant even read their own rules
theyve always been top 3
RS always been good
it was db robust deadeye and arcana as top 4 before
just unplayed
yeah it's rs, ws, and re still
Yeah
right next to db
why is pinnacle near the top, and then control is last, only above princess maker

people thought i was overreacting
when i said control was an f tier class
no i promise u
Where co summoner

Idk about that
Ye but theres prob more control than co
oh wait

theres a few more now
bluelance and tth are also below co
co has a higher ceiling parse than control does
ngl I kinda wanna skip getting 9s on my SE and just work my way up to 10s on pink skills @stark sky 
yeah i think the worst classes in the game are control, striker x2, tth, and co
Till kr balance patch
if tth ever gets a slight rework
wait I thought master summoners pumped, but they're so low apparently
I'd push her in a heartbeat

I loved tth
they do
they're like avg
I regret deleting my tth saddies
Ms just isn’t well suited to any of the raids rn
They just giga pump in behe
looking at upper quartile will give you a better idea of where the stronger players lie
And okay for other raids
and how the class actually does
which is why paladin having a higher max parse than control is fucking depressing
lmao
Brel is too small for Phoenix and akir is kinda dentge still
- summoner t skill is hot garbage damage/cd
my parse in brel hm week 1 was control
in both g1 and g2
my parse in week 2 was pinnacle
Kinda funny that dps bard almost has same parse as control
i had been playing pinnacle for less than a week
my parse on week 2 was 50% higher than week 1
Control is fine style wise, but needs higher numbers
It’s like a pure uptime class in a game where you need some burstiness
thats correct
To like play the game
they have burst
just need more overall numbers
like just push everything up
the new rework is gonna be great for them
kr is currently butchering control so they dont have a good idea of it
but the fact that you regain a damage ability is huge for the class
your abilities that dont have para immune are instant cast all of a sudden
insane
you mean wildsoul having 2-3 charges of everything
so they get a free 2nd rotation
lmao
No like if u do a shit ton of burst damage, your like overall dps should be lower if you can free hit boss
thats just the thing
Meanwhile we have bs like fmh where your cycle dps is like the same as emperor arcana
It’s so silly

:0
yesyes
evil bot message

<@&938198046896955542>
actually in every channel that people can type in too
yeah
he has a lot to give
Yup, its been handled.

what about my free money
we hunt da bots

it's pretty again
honing in punika is the key
best place to hone
in the history you need to go to punika first to enter elgacia, so it might be related 
hand it over and i can remain friendly
wortst place to hone is elnead 100%
wait, just noticed.... you mentioned 20% artisans yesterday, are you honing every single piece at the same time? 

not really
i did
like
11 taps
on the weapon
run out of materials
desruction stones
I just meant how you have 3 items w/ the in progress thing 😛
and did some taps on the shoudlers
if you go one item at a time, if you're really unlucky, you'll get upgrades sooner since that one will get all the artisan
couple of trys there
and couple of trys on the shoulders
but mostly all my gold and oreha went for the weapon
oic
i think my artesan energy was so low
just one tap
cuz i was honing without using any beans or books

just one more
my 1675 weapon upgrade was a pity but then 1680 was a 1 tap, pitying weapon is the worst

True

There is no worse feeling that pitying weapon as f2p
how many hones is a pity for that level

hey, don't leak









Wut
