[buoyant herald]

yes

[real zodiac]

oh thx i tho it will only drop if you have the rest run

so i can keep doing it until it drop right

[buoyant herald]

yeah gl

[maiden locust]

how do i recharge awakening skill (v)

[worldly slate]

Is there a big difference between normal and hard mode valtan?

[buoyant herald]

find a general merchant they sell chaos shards

[maiden locust]

1 chaos shard = 1 use, or 30 uses?

[alpine charm]

do pallys at relic run full swift accessories?

[buoyant herald]

not really hits a bit harder and some additional patters

[alpine charm]

or 1/2 spec accs are better

[buoyant herald]

its 1:1

[maiden locust]

sorry

[worldly slate]

Ok great. I’m gonna try it

[buoyant herald]

#paladin when you get a paladin role but pretty sure they run full swift

[limpid obsidian]

Yep, full swift is the standard.

[gloomy gust]

Can you legions on more than 6 alts but after 6 it’s goldless or does it lock you out

[buoyant herald]

you can with no gold

[gloomy gust]

Ah awesome

[maiden locust]

hello, I notice there's four chaos gates opening in 9 minutes, are there any requirements to do them?

[buoyant herald]

yeah item level that's literally in their name 😄 apart from that its 1 per day

[maiden locust]

which one do u suggest I do

[buoyant herald]

the highest one you can

[maiden locust]

how come I can't sail to south vern, it says "your destination must be a point on the ocean that you can sail to"

[buoyant herald]

click a little closer to water 😄

[deep sorrel]

what is your item level

[maiden locust]

460

[buoyant herald]

but you wont be able to dock there if you havent done the questline

and that is at 1340 😄

[deep sorrel]

do you have a [guide] a new voyage quest

[limpid obsidian]

You need to get access to rohendel before you can sail to that side of the sea.

[maiden locust]

no but it says guide: rohendel, im doing that quest right now and it tells me to go there

[buoyant herald]

def no south vern XD

[deep sorrel]

are you sure you don't have any other guide quests

[limpid obsidian]

Isn't there some quest to unlock the "Sea of Procyon"?

[maiden locust]

oh, "find wisdom isle"

[deep sorrel]

yeah that one

[limpid obsidian]

Yep, do all that guide quest shizz

[maiden locust]

ok i will do that now, thank u

[peak wadi]

Hey guys, I just hit 1415 and i"m not sure what to do in terms of gear progression. Do I aim for 2-piece Beast set + 2-piece preordained + 2-piece chosen?

[buoyant herald]

i wouldnt bother with that

keep pushing to 1430 > 1445 and start crafting relic pieces

[peak wadi]

o so just stick with 5p preordained

?*

[buoyant herald]

yeah unless you dont plan on going to 1445 just stick wit that dont waste gold

[thorny parrot]

okey i know i may sound stupid but the silver finished form my account where can i find silver ?

[buoyant herald]

unas in lopang chaos on alts cube
and very last resort for whales mostly you can ||buy silver with gold in gold exchange npc ||

[thorny parrot]

but my heart cant allow this

[buoyant herald]

good then go do unas on alts

[thorny parrot]

finished them all

[buoyant herald]

well then wait for tmr 😄 also there is 1m silver in the event shop if you havent used that yet

[thorny parrot]

oh thanks i forgot about it

[buoyant herald]

👌

[maiden locust]

does the maharaka event offer good rewards?

[fading moon]

should I buy accessories for my alt at 1370 or wait until 1415?

[buoyant herald]

crazy rewards

[maiden locust]

should I do it asap, i'm super close to it

[ripe field]

super dumb question but whats the difference between these two

[buoyant herald]

i just use whatever drops from abyss / argos only spend on a 6 6 stone so you can have 3x3

[fading moon]

Gotcha thank you! :)

[buoyant herald]

👌

[thorny loom]

Just aim for 3x3 and that should be good enough to find and easily get accepted to Argos party. Nice to leave an alt to with 3x3 just for bare minimum.

[buoyant herald]

im getting mvps with 3x3 in valtan hard

saving for 5x3 🙃

[thorny loom]

Me too. It’s been 5 weeks now I can’t find my accessory to finish my 5x3. I check everyday like 10+ a day.

[buoyant herald]

yeah no necks that i need ever show up not even in history

[thorny loom]

Ring for me.

[buoyant herald]

yeah should have moved shit around before buying others 😄
i have stone and leg book so it doesnt leave me much room re arrange shit and none of the 3 or 4 option that would work show up

[amber folio]

Probably reaper wont get powerpass because scouter wont get powerpass and i think the next class will be summoner

[rose jewel]

we literally dont know what are they gonna do with each class release

[amber folio]

they are doing the same pattern since lm release

[crisp turtle]

so far its been a hyperexpress/express pass/powerpass type thing every other class

[limpid obsidian]

One marks tripod levels below your equipped levels. The other marks tripod levels EQUAL to or below equipped.
Can't remember which is which off the top of my head.

[solar cove]

I'm just returning to the game. When I stopped I had a WD at 1360, but I'm going to main a SH which just hit T3 (1302) and activated the hyper express on this new character. I still have this Mokoko buff on all my characters. Should I finish getting my old character to 1385 so that I can research the stronghold upgrades to help hone my new character? Or would that be a waste of resources considering I do not plan to play the WD anymore

[paper glacier]

we have w honing buff till 1370 so I think it's okay to push ur shadowhunter for the main

[lusty sable]

It'd be kind of a waste as you still need to get over the hill of 1370 as wellas 1385, just focus on what u want to play now

[paper glacier]

then after u get the ilvls for the research on ur shadowhunter, boost ur alts

[fossil linden]

is there anyway to know how much legion raid mats I still need for gear conversion?

idk if I am saying ti right but I think that's the word xD

[paper glacier]

click ur profile button default is p, click gear conversion, it shows how much is needed there

[fossil linden]

found it

still need like 30 vykas wings sad

[paper glacier]

gotu

[stiff musk]

Are heavy iron ore and strong iron ore just for exhcanging into iron ore ?

[exotic drift]

How often does Rovlen spawn after death?

[paper glacier]

no they're used for crafting items and research in stronghold

[ember pewter]

Usual time is 30 mins but may take a bit longer. Give or take

[old bane]

tooki king fake eye is only used for tookin transformation coin?

[wise blade]

whats the difference between knowledge transfer and powerpass?

[normal reef]

i think making ship parts at the processor uses them

[ember pewter]

Knowledge transfer only completes the main story quest of that region. So all of the side quests and other certain roster quests are still available. Power pass completes it all for the region's you are powerpassing.

[ember pewter]

Also you must meet the ilevel requirements to knowledge transfer. Powepass can be used below the requirement

[rough whale]

i cant use this yet right?

[paper glacier]

try it

the powerpasses from the shop aren't usable. that should be

[ember pewter]

You can't buy them from the shop. I assume you can "use" the item itself which grants your roster account one Punika Powerpass. But unfortunately they are still locked. So while it will show you have one available. You might not be able to actually use it

Best thing is to do what onik said and just try

[rough whale]

oh ok i see, ill try to use it but do i right click it on the alt i wanna give the powerpass to or on my main ?

[wise blade]

so if i power pass i get roster xp etc?

[ember pewter]

Right click just grants your roster the ability to use the PP. You have to be at the character select screen to use the PP

[gritty iris]

is using Net Casting worth losing the faster bite buff?

[paper glacier]

u don't get roster xp, just level 50 and 1302

[ember pewter]

Don't think so. I never have gotten free roster exp when using my powerpass. The quests are just marked as completed. You don't get the rewards such as items xp. The only exception is awaking skills and skill point potions if you haven't yet unlocked them

[wise blade]

okok

[ember pewter]

If your farming for fish yes. Net with perfect is about 4 times the rewards for the same amount of life energy as a usual cast

[gritty iris]

[jovial blaze]

does LOS 12 work on every gate of vykas

[cursive elk]

Gate 2+3 only.

[broken egret]

how are you supposed to gear an alt ?

[wraith basin]

BTS kpop idols are holy

[broken egret]

only by doing chaos dungeon everyday until t3?

[ember pewter]

Depends on your ilevel and tier your in

[sick thunder]

anyone knows how to counter golden rain on claw phase of alberhastic ?

[broken egret]

i mean no one does any t1 or t2 content

[pliant locust]

how long will it take to get from the start of rohendal to finally get to tier 3 content

[broken egret]

at least on my server, is there any way to get more resources?

[ember pewter]

If your alts are in T1 and T2 just do chaos and equip the right stats

[cursive elk]

Till you reach T3, only use Items that have the Correct Stat of the highest "Quality Color".
Afterwards, till 1370 Repeat the Process. Gearing doesn't really affect anything prior that much aslong as you run correct stat.

[sick thunder]

you could use preemptive strike for chaos tho

i mean t1-2 is mostly running chaos anyway just equip 2x 9

[broken egret]

i see, i though there was some way to do anything other than chaos dungeon, like a system to help new ppl or something

[cursive elk]

Personally, I always ran 2x 9 for the Class Engraving i wanted to use till 1370 and only ran Correct Stat.

[broken egret]

but i guess ill just run chaos everyday for the new few months

[ember pewter]

With the Global honing buff your alts will fly through T1 and T2

[cursive elk]

Mokoko Challenges if you never reached 1370 on Any Character.

[sick thunder]

islands

[cursive elk]

Also don't forget, every Alt has access to Ressources from T1 and T2 Towers. [Rohendel/Yorn Storylines Respectively]

[sick thunder]

should get you to t3 in 1 day if you can put in enough time

[gritty iris]

left is good for regular fishing and right is good for mini game right?

[broken egret]

how is that even possible

[sick thunder]

i did it during last express event

[rose jewel]

what are we talking about here

[sick thunder]

should be even easier since there wasnt a 100% chance

[rose jewel]

new alt to t3?

[sick thunder]

im talking about a new player

[ember pewter]

Tower gives a lot of mats as well. Do a few levels. Quit and hone. Repeat as far as you can go.

[rose jewel]

1 day is a little bit optimistic

[sick thunder]

i guess if i dont count story 1 day is fine

2-3 with the story i guess depends on how you feeling it

in total maybe 15 hours to t3 if you rushing as fast as possible

[broken egret]

but like, buying everything right

how can i possible get as much resources as i need to get to from t1 to t3 in 1 day

[sick thunder]

islands give quite a lot

[rose jewel]

ok so, a bit of explanation

[cursive elk]

There's enough Materials for T1/T2 spread around many Islands which are Rosterbound [aslong as you keep them in Box Form]
Alts, after the very first Clear of your Main, have access to T1 and T2 Materials from the Towers Respectively.
With no Gold Cost, Reduced Material costs, 100% chance and 2 Levels per Tap, T1 and T2 are essentially free.
Maybe you have to open on further Alts [If you have no access to Islands anymore] some Boxes for Shards.

[sick thunder]

also dont forget

[rose jewel]

when you're new, you have a lot of 1time resources, mainly from islands, there is this "Speedrun to t3" guide, tells you where to go, not as FAST but still pretty damn good speed

[sick thunder]

if you really wanna rush you can skip everything to vern

and then powerpass the class you want to play

[rose jewel]

not the best advice as we have PPs disabled now

[sick thunder]

i guess not worth it now

[rose jewel]

you cant also skip ALL, because you need to be lv50 to being with, to start the N.Vern story

[cursive elk]

Knowledge Transfers are still a thing though.

[broken egret]

im at north vern

[sick thunder]

you need the mokoko song for punika

[rose jewel]

that costs 600g, which a new player wont have

[median isle]

do i still need 5x3 at 1490 for clown or 4x3 is enough?

[broken egret]

420 ilvl

[sick thunder]

you can skip tortoyk if you powerpass the second character

[rose jewel]

please, go slow

dont throw speed strats a veteran knows to a new player, he'll get confused

[sick thunder]

well its just my discoveries when i pushed for an alt on a different region

[rose jewel]

its good you know the strats, but a new player is gonna be "what?"

[sick thunder]

hey its still usable info that you can get to t3 with only island mats

[pseudo atlas]

anything that involves powerpass should be ignored because we genuinely have no idea when they're going to fix that

[rose jewel]

you dont even NEED 5x3, its good to have alright but yeah, specially if you're over ilvl already

[pseudo atlas]

also you need to do tortoyk to get into punika so don't skip that

[sick thunder]

that was the powerpass strat

[cursive elk]

You only "Need" 4x3 on Bards all the way till akkan. Everything else is Luxury. Aslong as you keep up the 4x3 with every new Rarity of items.
4x3 is the minimum all the way to Brelshaza for DPS aswell. Everything else is just "a little bit faster" don't let Public Lobbies fool you.

[sick thunder]

you can probably do clown with a 3x3 anyway if you good

[rose jewel]

dude

[sick thunder]

what

[median isle]

i see.Thats so crystal clear. thank you guys

[sick thunder]

people always overrated what you need orehard was said to be 4x3 minimum and we do it 3x1 or 3x2

[rough whale]

https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/road-to-rohendel

for what its worth, i just started playing and i used this guide, got to t3 in about 4-5 days and i watched all the cutscenes while doing chaos dungeons daily

[rose jewel]

orehard? what?? dude you're comparing our current (non existent) endgame legion raid to an abyss dungeon that's meant to be farmed with cheap alts?

[sick thunder]

yes because its the same thing just longer

[rose jewel]

of course its not

[sick thunder]

its just memory puzzles with healthbars

[broken egret]

ok im back was doing chaos dungeons

[sick thunder]

orehard was a big deal when it was the "endgame" even if literally nothing changed with it and we just do it with random garbage

positioning is the majority of your damage

[cursive elk]

The latest Dungeon is always considered "Go Max or Nobody wants you" its been that way with Oreha, with Argos, with Valtan, Vykas, and it will be the same for Kakul-Saydon.
Its just impatient people that always want to min max their own accounts and force their Teammates to be the same type of player.
Alot of Content you could technically run with just your class engraving only, aslong as you know your Class and play well.

[sick thunder]

yea but its not needed really

[broken egret]

are we supposed to get a punika powerpass when we get to t3?

[rose jewel]

we do

[sick thunder]

yes but they are turned off at the moment

[cursive elk]

Yes i think one is free but they are currently disabled due to Bots abusing them.

[rose jewel]

its an event pass so we can get it and use it before 9/27, but alas, what they said

[broken egret]

ok cool coool

[sick thunder]

i hope they fix it with the august update

[broken egret]

you said there we can do islands

[rough whale]

i just got my punika powerpass sitting in my inventory, should i just use it and see if it works?

[sick thunder]

it doesnt

[rose jewel]

it wont work

[broken egret]

but when i started the game i already did all t1 and t2 islands, can i do it again on an alt?

[sick thunder]

no

but you can do tower with different rewards if you completed it once before

[rough whale]

ok so just keep it in storage til they unblock em?

[broken egret]

yes im doing tower to what ilvl i can

apart from chaos dungeon tower and una quest, what else i can do?

[rose jewel]

that's the safe pick

[cursive elk]

It doesn't matter if you use it now or later. Those still expire at a Set Time unless they extend it.

[sick thunder]

guardian raids

[pseudo atlas]

what level is your main?

[broken egret]

mine? 1385

[rose jewel]

a LOOOOT of horizontal content as you keep progressing

[broken egret]

i had to quit the game back on launch

came back on sunday i was ilvl 1040

[rose jewel]

skill points, island souls, giant's hearts, opium stars, master pieces, ignea tokens, life skilling, rapports in general

[sick thunder]

hm if you want to do horizontal content you should get skillpoints and runes first

you get those from sources above

[rose jewel]

horizontal progress is "needed" for you to get stronger with all your chars, be it skill points, stat points (minimal but still counts), runes...

[broken egret]

does skillpoints count to all chars?

[sick thunder]

yes

very strong to have a lot of skillpoints

you can make your abilities lvl11 and 12 later

[rose jewel]

lv55 and lv60 you can over level your skills to 11 and 12 respectively, more dmg

[sick thunder]

also tripods are incredibly important

[broken egret]

ok another question there are a lot of unas quests

is there a limit on how many i can do?

[sick thunder]

3 per day per character

[broken egret]

and the weekly? just 1 per week?

[sick thunder]

3 per week per character

[cursive elk]

3 per week per character.

[broken egret]

tyty

[sick thunder]

you cant gain experience twice

so the most efficient way to get everything is to have every character do different quests

[cursive elk]

For the Bar to get tokens, each Weekly counts for 12 Points and each Daily counts 2 Points. You need a total of 70 per Week to get the Maximum Amount of Tokens.

[broken egret]

what should i do with the tokens

[blazing badger]

exchange at Gold Shop vendor for chests, which give you gold!

[cursive elk]

There's an NPC that lets you trade those Tokens at 80/200/500 Token Cost for Boxes that give you a Set amount of Gold.
[200/500 is i think 600 and 1250 Gold guaranteed, with a Chance to gain extra Bars for more Gold]

[maiden locust]

is there a reliable faceting guide or is it just luck

[blazing badger]

yeah, the middle one I think gives you the most consistent gains, but the big one has a small chance of giving you a massive 10k

faceting is a pure mathematical exercise, use a solver like https://lostark.meta-game.gg/ability-stone-calculator

[cursive elk]

There's a calculator online that shows you the best thing to click based on current chance and your goals.

[blazing badger]

but there's no way to guarantee a good outcome

[sick thunder]

calculator gives the best chance

[icy shuttle]

anyone have a fix on no sound? My game somehow changed audio outputs and when i tried restarting the game and my pc it still wont change back

[maiden locust]

okay is it the first thing that pops up when i google facet calculator or

[sick thunder]

but its always tiny

[low totem]

if i alreayd claimed the punika power pass in my inventory will it just be lost if htey fix it or msth

[sick thunder]

15% chance for a 6 6 on leg 5% for 7 7 on relic

[cursive elk]

7/7 is only Neccessary if you already have a +12 Book, so you can use 5x3.
6/6 even on Relic is enough for a 4x3 Setup.

[rose jewel]

its not "lost", its just unusable

you can 4x3 even with a lower stone, but 6/6 is the go-to imo

[low totem]

ight. hope its fixed soon, need another t3 ong

[cursive elk]

Most likely they will extend the Pass's Durations once they manage to Fix the Issue.

[blazing badger]

yeah 4x3 is basically guaranteed even with a weak relic stone, relic stone makes it quite easy

[mild thistle]

Hey guys I need some help with cards, I don't really understand it well, this is what I currently have and don't plan on doing Solas run, I have 4 legendary selection packs, is there any legendary I should select from those packs to make the 12 awakening process faster?

[cursive elk]

Had a friend go 80 stones dry, trying to get a specific 7/7. We still laugh at them till this day.

[blazing badger]

most people will recommend not using selection packs on lostwind

[broken egret]

i dont even know what u guys talking about

[blazing badger]

as they are one of the very best items in the game the longer you play. get your seria to 5/5 as priority (camp east luterra merchant) and hope for the others (event cards, south vern cards, etc) - I'd consider using a selection pack to finish LWC, but definitely not all 4

[cursive elk]

Its best to just use Max HP Cardsets till you eventually can get LWC to 12 just by random chance. Seria can be maxed from an NPC.
But its best to save up those Selection Packs for when you near the 30 Completion of this or Light of Salvation Set.
[Depending on your Class, Light of Salvation for DPS Class and Lostwind Cliff for Supports]

[blazing badger]

look up which of the challenge abyssal packs solas comes from and try to target farm him from those

[mellow mauve]

^

[mild thistle]

Do you know how many I need still? I assume I have to max Seria right?

[cursive elk]

You need 9 more Seria's by the looks of it.

[mellow mauve]

you can also just wait to rng armen/thirains/kharmines/delain armen since they can drop from abyss runs

[blazing badger]

you don't NEED to max seria but it's by far the easiest way and as she says, you need 9. that won't take you very long if you use a site like https://lostmerchants.com/

[cursive elk]

You also need 5 more Upgrades in general, so 2 more from Seria means you have to get Lucky on Card Drops for 3 more Awakenings.

[mellow mauve]

There's no reason to not max seria, she's basically free

[blazing badger]

yeah for sure

you could potentially win with 9 seria + 4 legendary cards (1 thirain/1 kharmine/2 thirain or kharmine or delain armen)

but with luck you'll get some solas to help you bridge the gap too

there's also a pack in the shop which gives you a TON of cards for RC, but it is very expensive and not necessary

[mild thistle]

I don't want to save the legendary selection pack for LOS

What should I use it on from the ss I sent above

[rose jewel]

want an honest answer? dont use them yet

[blazing badger]

if you're absolutely insistent on doing it now, though it's highly unadvised, get 3 kharmines and 1 thirain (make sure it's the right one, I can't remember if that's king or normal thirain - they are two different cards). that'll give you +2 kharmine, +1 thirain, then finish seria and you win

[rose jewel]

are you still using them? one of each of the 0 awakened one and two on the 1 awakened one should take you to 12 awakening AFTER maxing seria

[blazing badger]

you can also do 3thirain/1kharmine for same result

2 armen + 5 seria + 1 solas + 1 thirain + 2 kharmine + 1 delain armen = 12

[rose jewel]

lostwind cliff is only 7% crit rate, it wont take you to the moon dps wise, but in the end, its your resources

[mild thistle]

I'm not gonna be no lifing this game for the next 10+ years to get 30 LOS my guy

[blazing badger]

the selection packs are actually how you get it without nolifing lol

[cunning perch]

is there a way to get the 3 day restriction lifted from gold?

[pseudo atlas]

wait 3 days

[mild thistle]

Yeah in 5 years of grinding the majority of it XD

[rose jewel]

not 10 nor 5, but i guess impatient people exist, again, your resources, we can only recommend

[cursive elk]

Personally and like most other Players, you'd save the Selection Packs till the Very end for Light of Salvation. Using those beforehand is kind of a waste because that is the endgame set and if you miss a specific card but have no Selection Packs, its gonna get ugly.

[broken egret]

looks like i made a mistake then

[rose jewel]

probably 😄

[mild thistle]

Not impatient, I just have a job and a life to not spend most of my time on virtual cards 🥲

[pseudo atlas]

the average player is gonna finish 30los by the time los is no longer relevant, if ever

[rose jewel]

not the end of the world, it'll just take more time

[blazing badger]

yaa the selection packs help but they're a small piece of the puzzle when you consider the sheer amount of cards needed

[cursive elk]

No Selection packs used. Also since Valtan release, stopped doing Card Farming Runs [Rerunning old Abyssal Dungeons for the chance of Cards]

[mild thistle]

How many hours do you have on steam?>

[blazing badger]

since it takes 80 cards to LOS30, 4 selection packs just reduces your volume needed by 5%

err, not 80. that would be nice lol

[cursive elk]

1426 Hours in about 4-5 Months. I started early April or Late March.

[blazing badger]

96*, so 4/96 = 4.2%~

[mild thistle]

Ty for this, you're the most helpful

[blazing badger]

no worries, just take your time carefully with the thirain

[cursive elk]

You need 15 Cards to max one, and you need 6 specific Cards to get maxed [not across the 7] So 6x15 = 90 Cards.

[blazing badger]

yeah, also have to count the first card just to own it too

since it starts awakening 0

[broken egret]

How does one get Token of Protection?

[blazing badger]

weekly quest in bellion

[thorny loom]

Is your own stronghold really supposed to show up and be recommend to you? 🤔

[gentle hawk]

is this game feasible to play with only 1 char? i have very limited playtime

[cursive elk]

If you don't set your goals too high, yes. 1415 should be doable. 1430 unsure.

[gentle hawk]

so like, as an example.. what are some things i can do after i finish my daily 'chores'?

[cursive elk]

After your Daily Chores, run the Weekly Raids/Dungeons but eventually you will run out of things to do. Everyone has that, even with multiple chars.

There's Horizontal Content such as the Collection/Adventurer Tome to farm, Collect Mokoko's, do Islands, Timed events etc.

[gentle hawk]

well, i meant assuming the weekly dungeons are done.. and the daily chores are done

[thorny loom]

I play 1 main, and I made 2 alts of the same class. If you want to do it that way. You could strictly focus on your main, and share your gems with your alts.

[gentle hawk]

i tried that once.. but it felt kinda awkward playing 'lower' versions of my main

[thorny loom]

You can do different versions?

[gentle hawk]

true, but then they don't feel like clones anymore, and by that point, i might as well just roll a brand new class i guess

i guess back to the original question tho.. once i finish my daily stuff.. what about like.. doing stronghold stuff? or doing the pyrons compass etc?

[thorny loom]

Different builds. Your class mastery with the said class will be on point too as it’s just muscle memory. You know how your character handles certain fights, what you can bypass, what will knock you down and stuff. Etc.

I actually prioritize the compass, over the daily. I do the daily around the compass

[gentle hawk]

ooo

[native iris]

Im a new player who just reach ilvl460. Should I use the free honing mat boxes for t1 upgrades or save it for t2/3?

[gentle hawk]

so like doesnt the compass give a bunch of stuff to do per day?

[thorny loom]

Your t1s will be useless for you when you hit t2.

[native iris]

Is there a need to reach +15 on tier 1?

[thorny loom]

Well if you can get to your dailies, you can always just behold your rest bonus. But for me I just work around the compass schedule. Specially adventure islands. I’m not sure if it’s worth doing field bosses if your character is lower iLvl, as you might have problems finding people. Wasting time.

[gentle hawk]

i'm 1385

[thorny loom]

Could focus reaching T3 then starting doing those field boss and chaos gates and GS

[thorny loom]

I don’t recall. It’s been months since I was there, but at the time I didn’t use any power passes and went through the story lines. But I honed to keep advancing.

[thorny loom]

You should prioritize islands. Gold, card packs, and pirate coins. Then do your dailies. Your dailies can be done at any given time. The compass, specially adventure islands is very specific in time.

You could always do dailies at any time.

[night bronze]

So i had a bunch of those battle potion chests, and I've been using them last couple weeks, and im pretty sure im out now, and only have a bit of potions on my few characters, whatss the eaisest way of getting more battle combat potions?

[lone sequoia]

Anyone know why my back attack indicator keeps changing back to blue/default even though I can changed it to red?

[silver rain]

Hmm if its the same issue i had. There's something glitchy with settings. sometime it doesn't get saved relaunching would turn them back to the way they were before. I had similar issue with my chat tab settings. idk if just verifying game file would work but reinstall worked for me

[lone sequoia]

Ill try verifying xD I aint trying to reinstall the whole game pepesad

[silver rain]

Actually crafting the pots or buying Blue crystal and buy the chests off Mari shop

[hidden lark]

Does weapon quality transfer to ancient gear?

[ancient lark]

crafting potion is the cheapest if you farm mats yourself

[tardy gale]

is it possible to buy silver anywhere?

[deep sorrel]

yes

[deep sorrel]

you can buy like 100 silver for 1 gold but that's super not worth it

[tardy gale]

im out of silver ..

1345 ilvl and could go way higher with event rn

[ancient lark]

do una's daily

[astral root]

Any lopangers

[deep sorrel]

lopang, event shop, guild shop, cube, etc

[pseudo atlas]

hyper express event + the 1mil silver in event shop should give you most of the silver you need, if not all of it

[balmy wadi]

why is there no power passes in the store, aer they still bugged?

[pseudo atlas]

yes

[balmy wadi]

what was the reason they disabled it?

[pseudo atlas]

check pins

[ancient lark]

because botters can use it

[sullen spire]

just finished desp salvation leg books, what's next thats good to have? only supports please

id like to go blessed aura but feels a bit costly atm right after using all the monies

[balmy wadi]

how many argos blood do i need to craft a argos gear?

[sullen spire]

argos is just passing gear at this point, if you do hard oreha/airas + argos all boxes open you should be able to get full legendary gear

i think you get lets see... 40 bloods for week 1?

[ancient lark]

p1 1st time with chest only get you 30 blood

[sullen spire]

oops. i assumed buying bus which is def worth it

[tawdry flume]

who cares about argos just do two orehas and buy a bus to p3

then you can craft all and shove to 1445

[balmy wadi]

how much does it cost 1370-1415?

[pseudo atlas]

[median olive]

can u get upright fighter and not be mvp but still do more %dmg than the upright fighter who got mvp + something else (like annihilator or smth) 🤔

[last imp]

ye def, you can even be cruel fighter and not be the mvp over an upright due to other factors

[median olive]

kay that gives me some hope that im not that bad at the gamel ol

[ancient lark]

if you keep buying bus how can you enjoy the game

[flint wolf]

So i can equip t3 gems on my t2 char, does that mean i get the effect tho or is there some hidden thing that blocks higher tier gems on low tier chars somehow

[sick thunder]

whats a good 1 engraving for rushing the story ?

spirit absorb or something like preemptive strike

[mellow mauve]

for speeding through, probably Spirit for the movement speed

[nimble gorge]

does tripod levels work in equlised challenge, like challenge guardian and abyssal?

[peak wadi]

Do I have to re-do south vern on all my chars?

[sick thunder]

yes

[peak wadi]

[tropic steppe]

Have to? Nah should? Ye

[sick thunder]

to do legion raid atleast

it also drops cards and stuff

[spiral pulsar]

I haven’t played bard before, but do i have to stand in the big music circle to get dmg buff?

[wraith basin]

you can do legion raid without south vern, but you need south vern for chaos dungeon

[sick thunder]

you can ?

[wraith basin]

ya

[flint wolf]

if you mean the golden music buff yes

[sick thunder]

i thought it was for legion raids oh well

[spiral pulsar]

Also, i know bard has the equivalent of paladins dmg buffs (non identity buff). Is there something i have to stand in for that or is that on the bard to aim correctly?

[arctic herald]

i need help q.q

[rose jewel]

restart pc

[tropic steppe]

Nah, he casts it, the party gets the buff.

[sick thunder]

i think you have to be in the circle to recieve it

[spiral pulsar]

Ah okay so same as pally buffs. Only identity buff you have to be in circle, just like paladin?

[sick thunder]

but there is another one thats like pally

[rose jewel]

sonic vibration, and yes you throw it on the ground and dps gotta stay inside it

[spiral pulsar]

That’s the identity buff right? The other dmg buff is just a simple cast?

[rose jewel]

paladin has 2 atk up skills that doesnt need to be positioned, bard is 1 and 1

and paladin's identity is a big circle, so you need to be "close" to your allies

bard's atk up identity is another just cast it, no need to position

(unless you're in the moon and they are in mars)

[spiral pulsar]

Ah so the identity for bard is nonpositional but the atk up skills are the circles on the floor?

[rose jewel]

one is a circle, the other is non positional

[rough whale]

if im gonna lvl an alt since powerpass is disabled, do i skip every single side quest? or do i do chain quests along the way?

[rose jewel]

that depends on if you wanna get the freebies that comes along those yellow quests

[mellow mauve]

just power through main quest till 50 then go to n.vern

[rose jewel]

but isnt he doing an alt already

[rough whale]

yeah my main is ilvl 1300

[rose jewel]

aka just go to prideholme and learn the song, go to SH and KT

[mellow mauve]

ahh, he can do that as well. I assume he wasn't kting

[rough whale]

what are SH and KT?

[rose jewel]

stronghold, knowledge transfer

[mellow mauve]

When you knowledge transfer you basically pay some gold and have the story progressed automatically after 8hrs for that character

[glossy comet]

how are you supposed to grind levels? I'm at 53 on 2 characters and with no more MSQ from vern giving me millions of exp, where do I go now?

[mellow mauve]

you get exp from doing your dailies/weeklies/cubes/boss rush (You can also buy exp potions from the guildshop/pirate coin trader/pvp shop)

[pseudo atlas]

boss rush and time played mostly

[glossy comet]

never tried boss rush now that I think about it

[rose jewel]

missing on a lot of gems

[pseudo atlas]

and leaps

[glossy comet]

Leaps?

[pseudo atlas]

leapstones

for honing

[glossy comet]

oh not talking to me

[pseudo atlas]

no we are talking to you, boss rush gives lots of exp and gems and leapstones

[mellow mauve]

^

[glossy comet]

ohhh

[peak wyvern]

Is it worth it to craft the sunset gear?

[mellow mauve]

no

[peak wyvern]

these things if I'm a 1350 ilvl

[pseudo atlas]

skip sunset

[peak wyvern]

go straight to the next one?

[mellow mauve]

yep

[peak wyvern]

Okay, thank you

[pseudo atlas]

trade the mats for temporary accessories or dismantle them for...shards? i don't remember what they give

[peak wyvern]

Uh I think that's the chaos dungeon stuff no?

[pseudo atlas]

there is also an abyss mats trader

[mellow mauve]

no, you can dismantle the abyss mats in t3, the normal mode mats give honor shards while the hardmode version can be dismantled for g.leaps

[peak wyvern]

Ohh okay so just scrap the sunset scales okay

But I just stick to the gear I have rn? till I reach 1370 or?

[pseudo atlas]

yeah just don't craft the gear 'cause the set bonus is useless and costs gold to make

[mellow mauve]

yeah, you just do purple 1302 gear till you hit 1370

[peak wyvern]

When do I upgrade to the next tier though? and what should I upgrade to?

[rose jewel]

throw him the pic

[glossy comet]

are boss challenge pugs successful generally?

[mellow mauve]

the challenge guardians/abyss?

[glossy comet]

boss rush*

[pseudo atlas]

it's practically impossible to fail

[mellow mauve]

^yeah, super easy to pug them

[glossy comet]

ok, thanks

[peak wyvern]

What pic?

[flint wolf]

when i transfer my +15 t1 gear to the t2 gear it becomes +6 right?

[rose jewel]

im doing south vern MSQ :< https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/453163801475284993/957674995683819540/1370ArmorCrafting.png

[rose jewel]

+1

[flint wolf]

tyty

[rose jewel]

@peak wyvern watch the pic above

[peak wyvern]

yeah I'm looking at it rn, ty

[rose jewel]

fyi blue/purple gear base 1302 ilvl only goes to +15, hard capped, so that's the only way of improving ilvl

doing SV MSQ on bard is pure pain

[rain meadow]

It wasnt that bad

[pine oasis]

is this worth selling?

[deep sorrel]

no

no one buys epic accessories so start looking at legendary or above

[pine oasis]

if it was legendary then?

[deep sorrel]

no

well actually

[rain meadow]

Anyone know if the stronghold version of the fusion mats is tradqble on the market? Or if its roster/character bound

[deep sorrel]

i think there's an awakening/adrenaline soulfist build

[mellow mauve]

SH version is bound to character

[deep sorrel]

if you mean the ones from the farm, those are all bound

chest is roster bound, and then after you open the chest it's character bound

[rain meadow]

[balmy wadi]

anyone know where to trade gems

[inner wing]

AH?

[deep bay]

Has pinnacle glavier gotten better post PTR or about the same?

[fierce hill]

its roster bound

[split kayak]

how many boxes/craft is this?

[rain meadow]

I want to say 1, but i don't remember

[deep sorrel]

yeah it's 1

[fierce hill]

does holding limit on aughish isl means per character?

[rain meadow]

If you're referring to the leapstones, yeah they're per character

[fierce hill]

ya leaps

[inner wing]

In the shop? Yes, it's per character

[fierce hill]

thanks

[strong valley]

what sever i should play on?

[fierce hill]

what region?

[strong valley]

im finding region with huge players so i can go raid ezier

[wild jackal]

Matchmaking is cross server

[wild jackal]

Only matters if you have friends or a guild you like on a server

[rain meadow]

Pretty sure all 4 regions are decently populated

[deep sorrel]

i think NA east has the most people?

[strong valley]

oh ty

[rain meadow]

Euc or nae, yeah

[rose jewel]

imagine if he lives in europe and we recommend NA

[rain meadow]

Lol

[strong valley]

which class you guys prefer is the best choice in PVP or PVE

[mellow mauve]

play whatever you want

[wild jackal]

Soulfist 100%

[rain meadow]

Pve any, pvp i dont play

[last fossil]

does anyone know the max base swiftness we can have?

[marble sand]

1800 for any given stat

[strong valley]

which sever in NA west have most player?

[deep sorrel]

i think valtan/mari

apparently lots of people from OCE in valtan

[marsh hearth]

is the punika powerpass not working rn?

[deep sorrel]

all powerpasses are disabled until further notice

[unreal solar]

if i download a preset, where do i have to put the document so that my game read it?

[deep sorrel]

Steam\steamapps\common\Lost Ark\EFGame\Customizing

[unreal solar]

i already put it there, and restarted the game but i still dont see it:/

[deep sorrel]

what's the name of the file

[deep sorrel]

hmm yeah there's nothing wrong there

[unreal solar]

i am supposed to now see it on saved customizations correct? or how do i get to see it?

[deep sorrel]

yeah it's supposed to be in the presets

[echo owl]

i hope you’ve been checking slot 3

i also hope you’ve been going into mage

[unreal solar]

the difference that i see is that it says mage slot and my character is a gunslingers, is that why ? :/

crap, okay thanks that explains why

[deep sorrel]

[rose jewel]

🤔

[echo owl]

how do I get the croissant looking icon beside my character name

[deep sorrel]

it's tied to the title that comes from clearing hell valtan

[echo owl]

is it clear?

[deep sorrel]

actually idk if it's clear or deathless

[fiery zinc]

Does doing a Level 4 chaos dungeon give more upgrade materials than a Level 1 chaos dungeon

[deep sorrel]

yes

[mellow mauve]

Think the title with the mini icon is from deathless but there is a blue? title for clearing hell mode

[sleek vale]

what do you guys think of that tripod compensation speculation?
the one where people are saving artillerist, etc tripods and hoping to get the amulets

[hollow anchor]

What is ideal parking GS Spot for main and alt

[fair mantle]

What's your current roster

[hollow anchor]

1425-1385-1380-1340

[fair mantle]

Get main to 1445 - alt to 1370 - main to 1460 - alts to 1430 - main to 1475+

[hollow anchor]

I’ll do my best ty

[pine oasis]

can i get multiple keys and do the dungeons later?

[pseudo atlas]

yes

[pine oasis]

is it possible to get those stats fast somehow?

[hollow reef]

i wanna ask how do we transition from relic to ancient
like how much mats cost for transfer/craft ancient gear
and how much mats we get from each gate

[rain meadow]

The first clear chest in brel 1-2 gives enough mats to craft 1 piece, and with that 1 piece you can transfer over as normal

As far as how many mats each gate gives, im not sure lol

[sand chasm]

adventure tomes give you those stats in decent amounts

[modern apex]

I’m lacking 60 charisma for black fang .. kill me please 🤐

[rain meadow]

[pine oasis]

theres ancient gear too?

[rain meadow]

Yes when brelshaza comes out

[rose jewel]

and soon to come upper ancient

in KR, ofc

[rain meadow]

Actually i think brel normal gives mats for 1390 relic gear, not ancient gear lol

Brel hard gives 1390 ancient, i guess

[rose jewel]

yep

[agile quail]

Are the free power passes disabled for new players too? My friend is confused on the Vern pass, he consumed the ticket in inventory but can’t seem to use on a char

[fair mantle]

Disabled for everyone

[rain meadow]

Yes, all of them qre disqbled

[agile quail]

Damn that’s kinda rough for all the human mokokos

[rain meadow]

Yup...

[pine oasis]

abyssal dungeon is chara or roster based?

[rain meadow]

Character

[pine oasis]

is there anything like fast mount or all mounts are same?

[rain meadow]

Movespeed is the same, spacebars are sifferent

[pine oasis]

different as in cd?

[rose jewel]

and distance traveled

[flat dagger]

Distance for dash and CD.

The cloud being the most notable one and panther as 2nd.

[pine oasis]

cloud as in flying nimbus?

[flat dagger]

Yes.

That's why it's so expensive, because it's good and rare.

[pine oasis]

expensive?

isnt it shangra island exclusive?

[flat dagger]

You can still sell it.

[rain meadow]

Gold cloud and grey cloud, grey from shangra, gold from glaivier skin pack

[flat dagger]

EUC prices.

[dry phoenix]

Amazon hates everyone equally

[ionic sparrow]

What spacebar does the cloud have?

[snow wadi]

I like how your message subtle forgets that there's actually 2 EU Regions, lol

[faint sluice]

What are the classes that don't depend on directional atk?

[flat dagger]

First that comes to mind is Gunslinger and Sorceress.

[snow wadi]

MageSorceress, Artillerist, Arcana, Gunslinger iirc

[fair mantle]

Gunslinger, Shadowhunter, sorceress, Arti, Arcana

[ionic sparrow]

Sh transform

[faint sluice]

But blue gunlancer doesn't aswell right? How about specs of classes that don't?

[fair mantle]

Blue gunlancer also

[snow wadi]

Aren't half your skills head attacks?

[ionic sparrow]

Also some classes dont benefit from hit master but dont get punished from directionals like scouter or berserker

[fair mantle]

Not half only like couple and those don't need to be head attacked due to minimal dps difference

[faint sluice]

Emphasis on depend

[pliant pivot]

the ones that deal damage arent

[fair mantle]

Some blue Lancers even use hitmaster

[faint sluice]

That's a bit monkaHmm

[fair mantle]

It is

[snow wadi]

eh but I'd guess hitmaster is more expensive than SS or Barricade
So if I was looking for a 4th to 5th engraving hit master is a maybe
Else Id probably stick to grudge/ss/barricade

[fair mantle]

It's troll but some do use it

[faint sluice]

I'm just looking for classes that don't depend on directional to do their dmg, loving wardancer thematically but the fact that she needs back attack annoys me

[flat dagger]

Sorceress is a good bet then

[fair mantle]

Eh she needs back attack on like 2 skills that too only for optimal dps, anyways I would recommend Shadowhunter, gunslinger, sorc

[faint sluice]

[flat dagger]

Gunslinger I wouldn't recommend unless you have a lot of skill point potions and skill to avoid a lot of attacks.

[faint sluice]

I just made one char to 1370, got below 300 skill points and only gale winds. Sort of a newbie

[flat dagger]

Press O and check skill points at the Roster Bonus Effects.

[faint sluice]

11
33
23
13
12
18
24

[snow wadi]

Peacemaker Gunslinger as an alt is kinda expensive and not easy to perform good with
TTH Gunslinger with swiftness is a viable alt choice

[flat dagger]

That sounds about right, especially with your low extra skill points for your roster.

[faint sluice]

I see

[flat dagger]

Sorceress on the other hand is very accessible even early on and is more tanky than Gunslinger.

[faint sluice]

So what you're saying is gunslinger works more as a main?

[flat dagger]

Yes, but TTH is more alt territory. Still very skill dependant and squishy though.

As soon as you get demon form as Shadowhunter in one skill rotation, she becomes insane damage right away. Along with self heal, she's a very good alt choice.

[faint sluice]

That's fine, I have my Lancer to learn everything first to mediate it a bit

[flat dagger]

Lancer can tank everything though, Gunslinger gets 1-3 hit at HM Vykas.

[faint sluice]

What's the threshold for this? I heard the same thing about sharpshooter aswell

[flat dagger]

Full spec T3 accessories is good enough.

~1400-1500 spec or so.

Certain tripods also make it happen faster.

5 skills have meter gain increase perks.

[faint sluice]

I have a shadowhunter currently T2, she gets her form in 40~50 seconds and keeps it for almost the same amount and I'm already getting more mvps than my Lancer ever got

[flat dagger]

T3 and you get it in 5 skills 😂

Should be something like 10-15 seconds.

[faint sluice]

My current roster is Lancer /pala / Sh / Dancer and I'll be looking to add an scouter in the mix, was curious what to do for my last spot

[flat dagger]

Sorceress is a very different playstyle from those, as is Gunslinger (If you wanted Hit Master users).

[faint sluice]

Mhm Mhm, basically have everything except a ranged dps so they'll fit right in

Kind of catering more toward slinger because of the sheer amount of sorcs in the game but ideally I can give both a real try

[flat dagger]

Can confirm that Peacemaker Gunslinger is fun, but also a challenge at times.

But you use 16 skills, compared to the regular 8

[faint sluice]

I made one but only played it until 380

The sheer amount of back and forth with weapon stances made me dizzy af

[flat dagger]

That's part of what makes Gunslinger difficult, you either master it or play TTH which removes one stance.

[faint sluice]

TTH just sounds like it'll never match peacemaker in dmg and I've not yet seen anyone in my parties use it

Well thanks for your suggestions

[limpid obsidian]

But doesn't the Shangra cloud have that shitty boost instead of a dodge?

[rain meadow]

I wouldnt know, i dont have the Shangra cloud

[limpid obsidian]

AFAIK, the Shangra cloud has crappy movement skill.
Only the golden cloud has the good dodge.

[maiden locust]

Anyone know how much hp deskaluda have in 1 person?

[rose jewel]

we have up to yoho

[pine oasis]

how is deathblade a good dps class with those long cds even with z buff

[rose jewel]

all classes are good, DB is good dps

[pine oasis]

im using the same skills as maxroll guide. nothing that good except moonlight sonic

[neat solar]

Is the punika pass you get for completing the zone disabled just like the purchased ones?

[timber mauve]

Surge blade in particular is prolly top 3 dps in the game.

[pine oasis]

these are the skills on maxroll guide

[timber mauve]

That a chaos build?

[pine oasis]

think so

[timber mauve]

Also, blade is pretty sadge before legendary wealth rune and 1370 ilvl for spec.

Gonna assume you’re t1 based on that hp.

Deathblade. Ask further blade questions in the blade channel.

[rose jewel]

most classes are sad at t1, t2 and early t3

[pine oasis]

is db one of those classes?

[limpid obsidian]

Yes. DB gets a lot better with more Specialization stat.

Especially the Remaining Energy build, which is awful before ~1500 Spec.

But I personally like Remaining Energy more at 1500 spec. Surge is just so fiddly, but it is the better option in T1/T2.

[fair mantle]

No it isn't lmao

You can do sub one rota at 1350-1400 spec

[limpid obsidian]

Well, that's close enough to 1500. That's roughly the area I meant.

It's annoying to play equalized content where you're nerfed to 1200

[rose jewel]

dont play on db ;D

[fair mantle]

Yeah, but there's a huge difference between 1350 and 1500, 1350 is 1370 legendary accesories territory while 1500 is 1415+ with relic accesories

[buoyant herald]

im running 1 crit ring and still have 1.4k spec as re blade is good 👌

[fair mantle]

Crit ring on re as main

[limpid obsidian]

High quality 1370 Leg accs get you to 1500 tho

[buoyant herald]

100q ring re 5 grudge 3 was 500g same ring with spec was ~100k

[fair mantle]

Well you don't count extreme cases in the average lol

[buoyant herald]

and the extra spec doesnt give much

[limpid obsidian]

Not hard to get high quality when you're just gunning for 3x3 Argos gear

[fair mantle]

[warm juniper]

Quick question:
Does Emergency Rescue's cooldown reset after you actually die or do you resurrect with it still ticking ?

[fair mantle]

Tbh going for 3x3 is a big waste in legendary accesories rn given the bc price

[buoyant herald]

go test it in trixion

[limpid obsidian]

My spec on full Legendary Accessories on my Deathblade:

[limpid obsidian]

Whut? 3x3 is almost free. Only need a decent rock.
Rock+Engravings = 2x3
Full class engraving on accessories = 1x3
= easy 3x3

[limpid obsidian]

I remember seeing somewhere that Guardian Raid boss HP scales to around 250% with 4 players.
So if you do it solo you only deal with 100% HP, or 1/2.5 = 0.4 = 40% the HP you'd have with 4 players.

Nope

Read the tooltips :P

[trim python]

how does one determine which skills to level? theres so goddamn many

[limpid obsidian]

Guides and experience.

[buoyant herald]

https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/

[maiden locust]

ty

[trim python]

can i level down skills at any point?

[buoyant herald]

yeah

[worldly slate]

Is it worth to buy accessories from the market for 50000g? It is just too expensive for me to get 4x3

How are people earning 20ks each week?

[rose jewel]

6 chars 1370+ and not mass honing

[split needle]

Can I access ghost ship after abandoning it previously?

[rose jewel]

next week you can

[split needle]

Yikes. I got into the wrong ghost ship that was too hard for me and had to abandon it

[rose jewel]

wrong? like no one was inside?

or a high ilvl one

[split needle]

A high ilvl one and no one was inside it too

It was like a tier 2 ship I think

[rose jewel]

t1 and t2 ships are totally dead, and imo you dont even get good things from there anymore

some red and blue stones but that's it? i think

[split needle]

I just want to do it to begin the daily una task

Guess I'll try again next week then

[rose jewel]

well, you're probably gonna start it when you get to t3, i dont see any low ilvl ghost ship being cleared

[torpid obsidian]

does una daily rest bonus give 2x the reputation progress 😮

[rose jewel]

also, get on a time where people are awake, not at 3am

and check in ch1 if people are actually around the ghost ship, dont yolo

[split needle]

I cleared one last week on a t1 ship, there were people there so I thought it's frequent

Thanks, I'll be mindful about that next time

[snow wadi]

If you cleared it one time and you're aiming for the final reward (aka ghost ship itself), you could and should use the event-items where you can instantly finish the daily - saves alot of weeks

[split needle]

Yes I know, I was trying to begin the daily una task then use the una ticket later

[tight tartan]

Can anyone tell me wtf "me hard in hard" means

[limpid obsidian]

It boggles my mind how Island events and Ghostship aren't adjusted according to number of players.
Completely ruins low-pop instances (that either happen due to nobody playing the content or due to being unlucky and getting in late into a dead instance). It's just so dumb.

[tight tartan]

Someone kept trying to quit dungeon spamming that in chat

[limpid obsidian]

They might have entered Normal mode by mistake when they wanted to enter Hard mode. Just accept(quit) at that point.

[simple knoll]

there are two rapport i want to skip but for now i dont have too much gift (legg) is there a way to get them, i know only the merchant for now

[rose jewel]

once upon a time, we could buy them from mari, but alas, bots exists

you can 1- farm the virtues, which is the recommended way, or 2-camp wandering merchants with the help of lostmerchants.com

[simple knoll]

so for this now i cant buy them from mari right?

[limpid obsidian]

Honestly, just go farm Virtues. Doesn't take overly long and will save you a lot of rapport, cuz doing rapport skip means you lose out on free dialogue/quest rapport which usually accounts for anywhere from 1k to 10k rapport, depending on the NPC.

[rose jewel]

you dont lose them, they stack and can do them whenever you have the required virtues

oh wait i think i read that wrong

[limpid obsidian]

Well, rapport rewards are kinda useless when you reach max :P

[rose jewel]

yeah i get it now

my brain's not working, 5am

[rough hare]

If you have your vykas 6 piece set, does that mean you no longer buy vykas chests? just like with valtan?

[limpid obsidian]

You can buy them for more mats to convert to Chaos Stones

Don't remember the conversion rate off the top of my head tho

[rose jewel]

g1 and 2 kinda not worth, g3 probably worth

[rain meadow]

I personally dont buy them

[buoyant herald]

i just get the g3 for free hone mat

[simple knoll]

exactly i wanted to skip some for giant heart

[rough hare]

Whats your reasoning for not buying

[faint sluice]

Horizontal content baby

[rain meadow]

I value gold more than getting the gear set conversion quicker

[faint sluice]

Love that sh*t

[rough hare]

Lets say you already have gear set conversion

[rain meadow]

Then there's no reason for me to buy them, since i dont value fused leaps either lol

But not everyone has the same views as i do, nor do they have the same goals/plans

[limpid obsidian]

Also, Vykas chests aren't terrible value now that shard prices have rocketed up.

Top 3 are normal, bottom 3 hard.
The div is cuz I keep forgetting to add the cost of the G2 Hard chest when doing it :3

[rough hare]

Shard prices?

[rain meadow]

Honor shards

[rough hare]

Chest gives honor shards?

[limpid obsidian]

Percentages ignore value of Fused Leaps tho btw

[rain meadow]

People are fomoing shards now lol, or at the very least reevaluating their priorities

[limpid obsidian]

Yep

[rough hare]

Why fomo shards?

[limpid obsidian]

Not sure what he means by FOMO in this case, but prices are going up cuz honing at 1400+ requries a lot more shards.

[sullen lark]

Fear Of Missing Out

[limpid obsidian]

I know what the term means, I don't know what he means with his use of the term.

[rose jewel]

you need a lot of shards the deeper you go into t3, basically fomo of needing to buy and prices going up a lot, probably

[limpid obsidian]

So basically regretting they didn't buy more earlier so cuz of FOMO they buy up stockpiles now?
That's my guess of the meaning at least.

[next canyon]

whats the minimum ilevel to get loot from thunderwings?

[rose jewel]

iirc boss level -75 ilvs

[tight whale]

Under 1415: legendary accessories
1415: legendary~relic accessories
1445: chaos stone drop
1460: all relic accessories

[maiden locust]

really? im remember when i buy 20 leg contender only 20g-50g each

[limpid obsidian]

From own experience?

[tight whale]

From KR

[limpid obsidian]

Cool, good to know, assuming it also applies here.
I just started doing Thunderwings at 1460, cuz I was grinding for Moake star and Island Souls before that.

[limpid obsidian]

It's prolly cuz there's a lack of listings right now.

RIP this poor SOB, lol

Down to 550 lowest right now.

[maiden locust]

ye RIP market

[limpid obsidian]

It'll fall back down to 50 again pretty quick 🤷

[next canyon]

how about solar mats?

[maiden locust]

why do I get 1340 gear at the 1370 chaos dungeon?

[rose jewel]

that gear is merely for tripods

[limpid obsidian]

Don't think you get any from the field bosses.

[tight whale]

You do, I’m just not sure from what ilvl they drop. I know they dropped when I first did TW at 1445

[trim python]

what this mean?

[limpid obsidian]

I don't remember ever getting it. Only done TW like 5 times tho. I'm back to grinding final Island Soul.

[tight whale]

I also need to go back to Aurion sometime for the soul

[rose jewel]

monster that count for adventurer's tome (N)

[next canyon]

i thought you do. thats why i've been doing field bosses primarily tbh

[trim python]

ah thanks, also do all symbols mean that or do different symbols mean different things?

[pine oasis]

how do i get t2 gear after t1 max?

[inner wing]

AH or Yorn's Chaos dungeons

[mellow spire]

anyone know how to deal with this ?

[pine oasis]

select a different region, they closed the current one from the looks of it

[mellow spire]

bruh i spent 500 hours on my region i can't just select another one lmao

[inner wing]

Just restart game

[rain meadow]

anyone by chance know how many eibern's gold is needed for the ship upgrade?

[paper glacier]

is oreha preveza albion weak to holy?

[rain meadow]

fire

[paper glacier]

o

[mellow spire]

did that like x10 times

[inner wing]

Maxroll and lostarkcodex should have the info

[rain meadow]

hmm ok

[pine oasis]

how do you open roster reward window?

[inner wing]

[Esc] > Roster

[strong valley]

im lf guild that have discord group in NA west ? does anyone have?

[inner wing]

#guild-recruitment

[strong valley]

o ty lol

[pine oasis]

any shortcut key?

[inner wing]

Check among the options at the bottom right of your screen, the first symbol should have Roster and it may indicate a shortcut key

[pine oasis]

oh ty!

[limpid obsidian]

O-key

[limpid obsidian]

Looks like 161.
https://lostarkcodex.com/us/ship/8204/#10
LostArkCodex is a very useful site for checking a lot of data points.

[rain meadow]

yeah i found it, thanks though

[brave rapids]

Should I just push my 1415 alts to 1430 using gold? Or should I only use the free hones from Fused Leapstones? I have all the mats already, I'd just be using up my gold

[neat solar]

Have they disabled the free punika pass that you get for completing that questline or just the purchasable powerpasses?

[brave rapids]

They've disabled all passes, period. So if you did the questline, you SHOULD still have it on your account, but the entire powerpass system is just down until they decide to put it back up

[thin token]

just use ur gold + fused leap stones, if u are going to try to push with purely fused leapstones u are gonna be there for a while lol

[brave rapids]

👌 I got pretty lucky on this week's free hones though tbf. I hit 7 free hones across 4 characters

[tardy gale]

which argos set should i go for as deathblade?

crit chance or crit damage ?

[limpid obsidian]

Crit Chance for all characters that don't reach above 100% Crit Chance with it.

[tardy gale]

okay so crit chance?

[limpid obsidian]

Yeah, like 90% of all classes go Crit Chance

[tardy gale]

ok thanks

[split kayak]

arent these the same thing?

[limpid obsidian]

One is below equipped, other one is below or equal to equipped.
Bad translations.

[tardy gale]

in which order should i craft the gear?

[split kayak]

ah i see
thanks

[limpid obsidian]

Doesn't matter for Armor.
Go Oreha(Chosen) set for Weapon to save some gold.

[gentle hawk]

what's the best way to go about playing this game w/ one char?

i have one 1385 sorc currently...

[brave rapids]

You want to continue having one character only? Cuz I imagine you're probably doing as much as you can

If you're doing your dailies and weeklies, doing daily events, you've probably maxed out on what your character can do

[gentle hawk]

i mean.. i'm basically doing my weeklies/dailies

[limpid obsidian]

Game isn't meant to be played like that. You're crippling yourself by doing it.

[gentle hawk]

but at that point.. what's left to do? compass? stronghold?

[brave rapids]

Exactly, there's nothing left to do, so make more characters.

[gentle hawk]

what about the compass stuff tho? isn't that theoretically infinite? unless im missing something

[thin token]

no lol

[gentle hawk]

why

[brave rapids]

Procyon's Compass? those are daily. You do them once for the day and then you can't get the rewards anymore

[gentle hawk]

but aren't there like a ton of activites on the compass per day?

[brave rapids]

There's 3-4...?

[gentle hawk]

like i always see hundreds of things to do on there

every 15 mins there are a bunch of things.. maybe i'm not getting it

[brave rapids]

Oh you mean those. Is that a compass? Well whatever, yeah I guess you could do those, but they're not very rewarding

[limpid obsidian]

There's 1-3

[gentle hawk]

oooo sorry, i didnt mean the actual compass

[brave rapids]

he's talking about the thing on the top left, idk what its really called

[gentle hawk]

i meant the timed events that pop up all the time

[gritty compass]

Well yes theres tons of options. Like field bosses, but you pick one of them to claim rewards

[brave rapids]

Oh the Alarms. That's what they're called

[gentle hawk]

it's the thing on the top left

[inner wing]

So we're talking about horizontal content and not vertical content hmm?

[limpid obsidian]

Ye, the Alarms are just for timed events, most of them are on islands and provide collection rewards, which there's no point to re-doing once you get them.

[gentle hawk]

ooo

so actually.. let's back up and talk ONLY about vertical content

[limpid obsidian]

The timed event stuff is just for when you're out of normal daily stuff to do.

[gentle hawk]

what VERTICAL content is there to do per day w/ ONE char

[brave rapids]

Nothing.

Dailies > Weeklies > Procyon Compass > You're Done!

[limpid obsidian]

Daily

[inner wing]

Chaos dungeons, G raids, Una's tasks, Compass, Abyssal dungeons, challenge abyssal, abyss raids, legion raids, guardian thing, guild contribution, event for event currency

[brave rapids]

Soooo.. Dailies > Weeklies > Compass xd

[limpid obsidian]

I guess these kinda count as vertical too:

[gentle hawk]

well.. for one char.. weeklies can be done in like 2 hours

[brave rapids]

Here's the list of crap I do, but it doesn't add much to what Arsonistic already posted

What you don't see is that there's 9 characters listed next to that lol

[gentle hawk]

random question.. but does anyone here play destiny 2?

[limpid obsidian]

Not the channel for that.

[gentle hawk]

i was asking for a specific reason tho

[brave rapids]

He probably wants to make a comparison to Destiny 2 lol hear him out

[gentle hawk]

exactly shinn.. thank u lol

[brave rapids]

Context is key 👌

[limpid obsidian]

Then it's not a random question

[gentle hawk]

i was gonna ask how the 'daily' and 'weekly' content in destiny 2 compare to this game?

because i'm very familiar w/ destiny

[gritty compass]

Its new and different and we havent been doing it for years

Realistically not much

[gentle hawk]

then why isn't destiny a game where alts are super focused on? and this is

if there is still the 'weekly' and 'daily' chores in both

More information can found in #guides-and-info and using search in #info-dump or ask in our help channel

[brave rapids]

Well cuz there's only a limited amount of things to do. I'm unfamiliar with Destiny, but isn't it PvP oriented?

[gritty compass]

You said daily and weekly content, theyre both repetitive in that aspect. D2 just allows repeatability

[gritty compass]

Far from it, very PvE based for the past year or two

[gentle hawk]

explain?

[inner wing]

!gear

[midnight flax]

Gear Progression:
https://papunika.com/growth-guide/

[gritty compass]

Lost ark a lot of dailes/weeklies are one go for rewards and you cant re-enter or its not worth. You get what you get. D2 gives you options to farm content which adds rewardable playtime

[gentle hawk]

also, why does no one talk about stronghold stuff? is that not a popular thing

[gentle hawk]

oooo i see what u mean

[gritty compass]

And this is coming from someone who's salty about D2 and hasnt played since WQ

[gentle hawk]

LOL. WQ is very good btw

moving on tho.. stronghold stuff?

[gritty compass]

yee but pvp is cheeks. But again not the place for this

[brave rapids]

What's there to talk about? You get them. I explain them to newbies, but other than that, people typically forget they exist

[bold verge]

where is the right place to ask for a carry trade? my friend can't paly this week?

[gentle hawk]

is it not a big part of endgame?

[brave rapids]

Are you talking about the Stronghold Honing buffs?

[gentle hawk]

i guess just anything related to the stronghold in general.. like housing and decorating etc

[brave rapids]

Ah, horizontal content. From my understanding, outside of RPing in your house, they don't give insane buffs. You get stuff like "1% chance to crit-craft" etc. The Stronghold Honing buffs are pretty dope though, they directly effect your probability honing chance to increase your ilevel.

Oh actually, Feast buffs are kinda endgame. People craft food for some decent battle buffs

[gentle hawk]

ok so now we are talking about horizontal content i guess

[brave rapids]

Yeah, other than the Honing Buffs and Feasts, your stronghold is mostly horizontal content

[gentle hawk]

oooo.. if we are talking about horizontal content then.. is there alot more stuff to do?

[brave rapids]

Tons lol so much so so much

[gritty compass]

You look into the adventurers tome yet?

[gentle hawk]

no

[brave rapids]

hit N in game lol

[gritty compass]

Go spend 1000 hours finishing that

[gentle hawk]

lmao

[inner wing]

Press alt+L

[gentle hawk]

i see

[brave rapids]

Alt + L for your Collectables, and N for your Adventure Tome

[gentle hawk]

so if we are talking horizontal content.. is one char viable enough? or do i still want alta

[inner wing]

And alt+N for your rapport

[brave rapids]

One character is viable for horizontal, yes

[gritty compass]

Good rewards too, sea bounties, masterpieces, skill points, rapport items, SH NPC's, etc etc

[brave rapids]

Probably preferred tbh. I think I always do horizontal on my main. I just feel most comfortable on main

[gentle hawk]

i'm just super torn between this and destiny as my 'main' game.. i love both. but i also have a 2 year old and have not much time to play

so i want something that i will look forward to playing each day with my limited time

[brave rapids]

Play at your own pace. Having more characters will only add more chores to speed up your vertical progression.

[limpid obsidian]

If lacking for time make extensive use of the rest systems.

[gritty compass]

Give it a try between now and the new d2 raid release, make your educated decision at that point

[gentle hawk]

that's the thing.. i highly doubt i will have time to dedicate to raiding lol (in d2, not this)

[limpid obsidian]

Una Dailies, Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids have Rest-systems.
Each un-used entry gets converted to 10 Rest Bonus. At 20+ Rest Bonus you get double rewards next time you do them and -20 Rest.
This effectively means each day you don't run you still get half the rewards if you use the Rest Bonus at a later date.

Doing only fully rested runs means 33% time for 66% rewards; double the rewards per time of normal runs.

[gritty compass]

If youre not doing endgame in D2 then playing right now seems pointless as its mostly prepping for raids. Just my 2 cents

[inner wing]

What's your current ilvl? And how much hrs did you play? (Lost ark)

[gentle hawk]

i'm ilvl 1385 with about 350 hours in

[brave rapids]

How much time you got per day? To play LA?

[gentle hawk]

realisitcally

2 hours? at night

[inner wing]

Quite alright

[brave rapids]

Your dailies should take ~30 minutes, and then you can do horizontal content from there on out

I typically see each of my characters as ~30 minute timeslots. If I'm playing 5 characters that day, it's 2.5 hours

[limpid obsidian]

If lacking for time Lost Ark probably isn't the best game to play TBH.
Singleplayer games are far superior due to the simple fact that you can pause them at any point and go tend to something.
And if you want the social aspect look into board gaming or something along those lines.

[brave rapids]

Lost Ark is a bit of a time sink for sure

[inner wing]

↑

[gentle hawk]

true.. but it also seems like the type of game you can do at your own pace..

i'm not looking to be 'raid ready' day 1.. far from it.. i just want a chill game that i can relax and socialize on

[graceful kettle]

Guys, soulfist or wardancer which class u think is more balanced overall and which provide more dps?

[limpid obsidian]

Kind of, but it's gridy as f*ck.
Singleplayer games are more respectful of your time, usually.

[inner wing]

na east huh

[gentle hawk]

i know.. but i don't like single player games if i'm being honest.. i like mmo games because having a 2 year old means less time to socialize, and i kinda rely on that w/ my gaming hah

[limpid obsidian]

Gogo social gaming then. Lost Ark isn't heavy on the social. Try to find groups to play Tabletop simulator with or something like that. Board games tend to be a great way to socialize.

[gentle hawk]

i LOVE board games btw

[brave rapids]

I was gonna say lol... Idk how "social" Lost Ark is. I do just about everything solo, and just pug for group content

[gentle hawk]

i guess...

[limpid obsidian]

Don't pick class based on strength, you'll only get disappointed when it gets nerfed.
Pick based on the class playstyle, cuz that won't change much with patches.

[gentle hawk]

destiny 2 aint that much more social tbh unless ur raiding

[limpid obsidian]

Then find some discord server or something where people play Tabletop sim. Great way to do stuff at a distance.

[gentle hawk]

oh hm

[brave rapids]

I guess that's a me problem though. I think it is possible to play this game socially, but the typical player on Lost Ark is "chronically online" so I doubt you'll socialize with them that much if you play at your own pace

[gentle hawk]

would you guys say this game is gonna remain popular for a long time

[brave rapids]

I think if you're playing at your own pace, you're most likely playing solo. If you're playing with friends, you're all probably on a specific schedule together.

[gritty compass]

I think its gonna pull a new world. Not many games remain popular for very long anymore

[gentle hawk]

really? oh wow. but wasnt new world kinda dead by this point lol

[gritty compass]

Some guildmates who played on RU claim Clown is gonna kill the game in NA

[gentle hawk]

y

[gritty compass]

Per their experience, NA lacks greatly in the mechanic resolving area

[limpid obsidian]

Big dum 'muricans

[gritty compass]

All these 1505 zerkers will realize they cant damage their way to a clear, they cant be bussed, so what then

[old bane]

when selling on auction house, do u get back both ur deposit and transaction fee?

[limpid obsidian]

Deposit, yes, Transaction fee no, obviously

[gentle hawk]

i wouldnt say this game is 'dying' per se.. but steam numbers def have been going down

[gritty compass]

Thats just bot bans

[limpid obsidian]

It's natural for numbers to dwindle as games age.

[gritty compass]

Id guess, and someone is welcome to counter, the real number is around 60-70k

[gentle hawk]

?

[gritty compass]

Go to an early area and tell me how many bots you see in 10 min

[brave rapids]

Tbf, I've heard even koreans dread doing Kakul at ilevel. Apparently if you can't immediately push an alt to 1490+, you sit at 1473.5 so you don't have to do Kakul and you get to keep your Argos gold lol

[limpid obsidian]

Cuz he mechanically hard?
But why would you need extra ilvl if it's all mechanics?
Or is it heavy DPS checks as well?

[gentle hawk]

i wonder how a game like destiny remains consistnetly popular for 5 years.. but this game is getting lower numbers after half a year

[gritty compass]

Addiction likely

[brave rapids]

I'm not sure exactly. Just some clips I've seen from ATK and Saint

[gritty compass]

See it in LA too, lots of those addiction type personalities in our guild

[limpid obsidian]

Pretty sure Destiny numbers have fallen fairly consistently as well. All games lose population.

[gritty compass]

Destiny still spikes nicely with large DLC drops

[gentle hawk]

sure they have fallen.. at least on steam.. but remember thats not counting ps4, ps5, xbox one, xbox series x, and stadia numbers

but it's crossplay so we all play w/ each other lol

[limpid obsidian]

Well, still doesn't matter, cuz those are surely falling too.

[brave rapids]

If LA becomes to mechanically challenging for NAEU, and a large portion of the population quits, it'll most likely just be a niche game that a smaller community continues to play forever, and they'll eventually start merging servers if it really does get to that point

[gentle hawk]

i guess a good comparison would be BDO, another KMMO

popular? sure, enough. super popular? na

[limpid obsidian]

In the end, does popularity even matter much?

[gentle hawk]

kinda tbh

[gritty compass]

^

[limpid obsidian]

As long as you're in an active region it'll keep being enough for a long time going forward.

[gritty compass]

Its going to equate to money the devs continue to have for production

[gentle hawk]

oh

[limpid obsidian]

The player fall off tends to be logarithmic, so enough players will likely keep playing for a long time forward.

So doesn't matter much if the game is most popular or just moderately popular.

[gritty compass]

Not here to debate specifics, just saying if the player count doesnt support furthering of the game then yes, player count does matter.

But back to the point, Ive seen tons of people quit and refuse to do vykas. Clowns going to exacerbate that

[gentle hawk]

is vykas hard? i havent unlocked region raids yet

[gritty compass]

Thats subjective

[limpid obsidian]

Very, compared to earlier content.

[gentle hawk]

ooo

[gritty compass]

Theres groups who flawlessed it 2nd/3rd week, and groups who still cant clear in multiple hours or clear at all

[eternal zenith]

NAE/EU problem

[gentle hawk]

why does no one voice chat in the game

[brave rapids]

Discord exists

Even when I apply to a "voice-chat required" party finder, they just link Discord lol

[drifting mantle]

do u still get gold from argos aftet 1475 gearscore

[gritty compass]

Not much to VC for, even legion raids tbh

if you have a few brain cells than pings should be indicative of something

[gritty compass]

Yes until clown

[drifting mantle]

thank you !

[pine oasis]

how much rest bonus is required for guardian raid?

[eternal zenith]

required ?

[gritty compass]

20 for each clear if you want the extra orb

[pine oasis]

oh ok ty

[inner wing]

0

[narrow rock]

I was buying an engraving but i over bought some. So i decided to sell the extra that i had but its untradable.

Is this permanently untradable or do i have to wait for the 3 days thingy?

[maiden locust]

Yup

[inner wing]

[narrow rock]

Yup on my first statement or second?

[snow wadi]

Yup

[rain meadow]

engraving books can only ever be traded once, so... yup

[limpid obsidian]

Una Dailies, Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids have Rest-systems.
Each un-used entry gets converted to 10 Rest Bonus. At 20+ Rest Bonus you get double rewards next time you do them and -20 Rest.
This effectively means each day you don't run you still get half the rewards if you use the Rest Bonus at a later date.

Doing only fully rested runs means 33% time for 66% rewards; double the rewards per time of normal runs.

Two runs mean -40 rest, obviously.

[rough whale]

what does this mean? this is the server im in and i cant find anything about it in the menus

[median linden]

are powerpasses still disabled ?

[slender fox]

yes powerpasses are still disabled

[median linden]

:((

[slender fox]

that's a powerpass ticket, but you can't use it at this moment unfortunately

[rough whale]

even if its disabled, am i supposed to have one in the inventory? or do i have to wait for them to enable it again
