[crude tangle]

what are sources to get uncommon and rare engravings after 1370

other than the chaos dungeons,gates,guardians etc

[trail hawk]

events

and you can buy them at anguished island for tokens, and also at south vern npc for tokens there

[crude tangle]

what's the south vern one calleed? which npc

[inner wing]

Market :DD
And weekly islands shops

[trail hawk]

in south vern weekly quest for the dungeon, where you ge 2 orbs - 2 entries per week

[crude tangle]

where r the weekly island shops located.

[crude tangle]

ah kk ty

[cloud pendant]

What are the benefits of doing chaos dungeon in party?

[buoyant herald]

literally none

[trail hawk]

none

[buoyant herald]

every time i accidentally do i legit wanna end my own life its so bad ppl just afk all the time

[inner wing]

Monte, death hold and goblin

And atlas

[crude tangle]

cheers

[slim nacelle]

hey at 1442.5 do i get drops from thunderwing? chaos stone and all tht stuff?

[trail hawk]

you get drops when you can do dmg

[silver rain]

need 1445 for SoC

[trail hawk]

i was doing dmg at 1420 or so, but i already did moake that day so...

[outer mason]

you get drops when you or one of your party member do dmg

[jaunty mesa]

If i get to item lvl 1445, will i stop recieving gold from argos?

[buoyant herald]

you only do at 1475 when clown comes out

[jaunty mesa]

copy that

[trail hawk]

so if a 1415+ has 3 1350 in party, all will get drops? at moake*

[inner wing]

Ye

[outer mason]

I've had many times where I was in a group, where I didn't hit the boss once and still got all the loot

[inner wing]

If the party does dmg

[ripe sedge]

Question about SH farm, guys.

Whats the difference in XP / skill gain / item gain between SH farm and doing it manually in the overworld?

[spiral thistle]

You get less. You can't trade anything crafted and you can't get World Tree Leaves are the biggest points.

[inner wing]

Different mats

[slim nacelle]

no u only stop getting gold from argos at 1475 and IF Clown raid is available, so like the end of september u will lose gold from argos at 1475

[brittle tulip]

i remember reading about Crafting Great Success Chance scaling somewhere..
Bar Table is better for fusion materials right? i can't remember but i might have read that some scale different than others..

[lucid warren]

At what GS will you loose gold from Oreha’s well (hard)?

[blazing badger]

1415

[gentle wasp]

Crafting great success has a rate of 5%. Any bonuses are only on that 5%. So using that world tree and bar table, you are getting an extra 0.05*.03 (or a 5.15% chance total)
It's debatable if that is worth more than a reduction cost

[brittle tulip]

i don't have any cost reductions i think so i'll use the bar table i guess.. i read about that 5% base but i can't remember if someone was saying that [special] works different than global modifiers

[gentle wasp]

Yeah, better than nothing for sure

[inner wing]

This?

Not this, nvm

[wild jackal]

is super armor guaranteed on relic tool?

[fluid sluice]

when do pvp coins reset?

[olive skiff]

The PvP currency is reset to 0 after the season ends right? I have too many to use

[maiden locust]

no

there is also a bigger pool of possible stats for archaeology/fishing than the other 4 trade skills, but from experience the rolls are not entirely random, there is some kind of weighting for skills, and super armour is probably the most common

[atomic delta]

hey if I kill Thunderwings for example now, and get rewards, then can I kill another Field Boss next hour for Adv Tome credit?

[pliant pivot]

yes

[snow wadi]

2nd highest mokoko density area? by now everoyne is camping top left area and its actually not worth anymore

idk I don't like this event

[slim kelp]

My chat is getting flooded with "(player) has discovered a lucky Mokoko Seed" what's that?

[hasty mesa]

what "Battle XP Research" does in stronghold?

[snow wadi]

the dumb new event on that event island
its every 2 hours
you can participate once a day
and people can get lucky and get a chunk of gold
basically inflating the blue crystal price to oblivion
but telling people that event sucks makes them go white knight on you because you "just weren't lucky"

[lapis moth]

is there a way to disable that message

[silver rain]

+% xp for alts at certain lvl(s)

[pliant pivot]

you guys will have to start getting used to them when we get ancient gear assuming you guys are still playing by then

[maiden locust]

What's the big server in NA? Which one is the KR filled one?

[slim kelp]

Is it RNG?

[pliant pivot]

azena for nae idk about naw

[hasty mesa]

i see, thank you much!

[pliant pivot]

yep about 4-5 people can get it per instance

[snow wadi]

you got to gather mokokos and they randomly give silver or gold or a chunk of gold
here's the fun part
by now everyone knows top left is a dense area
therefore less walking and more gathering
but also more people there
so idk
this event has no meaning but force players to stay online for another 2 hours if they just missed it

[maiden locust]

oh ok ty. I thought I read somewhere that people were moving to Regulus and makin that server bigger

[slim kelp]

Oh wow thanks for the info!

[silver rain]

Staying 2 more hours for that juicy 10g

[timid pollen]

Will the summer and the new skin we got ever come back ?

[junior dune]

When will the next stronghold honing buff come?

[pliant pivot]

regulus is where most spanish speaking players play on and people from south america

[pliant pivot]

no

[timid pollen]

but they will work right for unreleased chars ?

[pliant pivot]

once they are out of the shop they are gone forever, you'll still get them from the auction house though

[maiden locust]

I see. So Azena for English/kr etc. thanks

[silver rain]

after 1460 research, there's no next SH research. we've caught up with SH buff

[pliant pivot]

depends on the skin and when it was released in kr and the class

[junior dune]

so there is no point keeping alts in 1430 then?

[timid pollen]

reaper

[blazing plover]

how do i block a bot that keeps spamming me mail?

[pliant pivot]

the 2019 summer skin wont work but the 2021 should

[silver rain]

there's one more global buff we havent got for 1370-1415. if you're doing 17x4 12x2 strat for 1430, the left 2 pieces can take advantage of that but we dont know when we'll be getting it. if you're already doing +16 all then yea no point in parking at 1430 when you can afford to hone them up

[timid pollen]

Man i hate those limited skins....like why, i get it maybe for summmer skins but why the new cyborg look a like skins get also limited. I would be kinda pissed if i was a new player that started some months later and mained scouter for the iron man look lol

[junior dune]

Thanks man. Appreciate the info

[pliant pivot]

they can still buy the skins from the ah

[timid pollen]

Yea but risky, what if whales didnt stockpile idk. There is a chance that there wont be ever cyborg skins in the AH

[pliant pivot]

there will be just at a really high price

[timid pollen]

Still dont get it kinda bet when a new player sees the gold price he would be tempted to buy it with real cash giving amazon money instead to a player

[trail hawk]

well, its cash either way

[timid pollen]

But they leave up worse skins at the shop lol instead the good ones

[trail hawk]

thats is totally subjective

[spiral thistle]

"Worse" skins are for blue crystals, it's not the same

[timid pollen]

Yea but what could be the reason removing them after a while ? Would they make less money by it kinda dont get it

BDO has like still skins from 6 years ago always on shop lol

[spiral thistle]

Because skins are seasonal. That is just how they make money. Fomo. They are a business.

Also Avatars/skins are the majority of their income from the game.

[timid pollen]

Thats why i dont get it. If those make the most money why they remove it for new players in the future to buy it?

[spiral thistle]

Because players know it's limited time and more players spend money on it? They are a business with analysts I'm pretty sure they do things for a reason

[timid pollen]

Ohhh wait now i got it....so the new players who want the skins spends royal crystal to gold and then buy it from AH thus making more money ehhhh

[spiral thistle]

What? You make so much more gold selling skins. Anyone selling royals is just griefing themselves out of huge amounts of gold

[timid pollen]

I mean a new player that starts the game in like 3-4 months after...he wont have the gold to buy it from AH since it will be expensive so hey lets turn royal crystals to gold

[silver rain]

either they grind their asses off or swipe to sell current skins and try to buy the old ones

[spiral thistle]

I don't have any data but I would only assume they are a very very small part of the people spending real money on skins

[rocky torrent]

is it better to use ur chaos maps or fuse them for a higher rarity

[limpid obsidian]

I've seen people mention this, but it would be nice to have some more details/data. Got any good source?

[spiral thistle]

Fusing is pretty meme. I would only use them.

[wintry mauve]

Should I buy all the chests in the hard mode raids even if I have my relic gear?

[limpid obsidian]

Fuse Rares if you wanna save some time, but you get less gold on average from fusing maps.

[limpid obsidian]

If you wanna gamble on accs and/or if you care about chaos stones, cuz the relic mats convert to stones at a ratio of 5:1

[wintry mauve]

Gotcha thanks

[flat dagger]

How exactly is stagger damage calculated? What affects the stagger damage? (Other than Runes of course).

[pliant pivot]

tripod

[pliant pivot]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11RMrVW6dtz2UmB9_n3UFLRwoEJWzzFF-kY2_gGhfKrg/edit#gid=1253684704

[flat dagger]

This is actually quite useful, thank you for this. But what about the disclaimer?

[pliant pivot]

that the data is possibly outdated it doesnt seem to have arcana in it

[limpid obsidian]

Tripods that add more hits usually increase stagger. Some skills, like Upper Fire(XX2) on GL or Holy Sword(XX2) on Pally have tripods that almost double their stagger.
And all skills have stagger, even if their tooltip doesn't say so, so tooltips are kinda terrible, an imprecise guideline rather than something accurate.
If you wanna measure stagger on your own you can do so in trixion by taking screenshots before and after using stagger skills, then counting the difference in number of pixels removed on the stagger bar(on the X-axis only, ofc).

I recommend using any skill before you take the first screenshot, cuz I don't trust the slanted corner of the stagger bar when it's full.

[flat dagger]

I have noticed that every skill does some form of stagger, but skills with more are mentioned specifically. Then there's the casting time difference for the full stagger of course...

[limpid obsidian]

The spreadsheet linked above used the same pixel-counting method for measuring stagger.

It will ofc differ a bit due to UI scaling and/or resolution, but the difference between skills should be the same.

[boreal cosmos]

Can both difficulty north vern chaos line drop the omnium star?

[buoyant herald]

yes

[wanton nimbus]

anyone know if the drop rate for legendary cards / legendary books is the same in Oreha normals and Oreha hards?

[sonic mountain]

Bruh anyone here in NA West that can help me with achates? All of my random teammates seem to have no brain when it comes to knowing the mechanics of the boss before entering

[boreal cosmos]

the star could drop from the last boss?

[maiden locust]

its only from the boss

[whole current]

what is the

[maiden locust]

its the

[vocal flower]

it is but gl finding a competent one

[maiden locust]

i recommend just doing normal vykas today then try for hard tomorrow

[sonic mountain]

Nvm cleared it lmao

[errant rock]

I am a lvl 30 paladin now but i actually want to play deathblade, should i just keep playing with pali to get passes i heard to boost another character? Or just start a deathblade?

[maiden locust]

get to vern for the pass

[errant rock]

So i need to progress theough the story to get there

[maiden locust]

yeah

or if you want to do it again on db go ahead

[errant rock]

What would be better you think? Just boost db or learn it a bit more on leveling a db

[maiden locust]

whatever you want

[crisp turtle]

how far throughthe story are you?

[errant rock]

Dyorika plain in east luterra

[crisp turtle]

roughly halfway-ish to vern then i think. Luterra is the largest chunk of the storyline.

so you could either restart with a db. or finish with the paladin.

once you get to vern, you can boost 2 new characters up to vern instantly for free.

so its if you'd rather finish 50% of the storyline on a char you dislike and then boost the DB straight to lvl 50.
or restart now.

[inland sedge]

how can i obtain it ?

[crisp turtle]

and i wouldn't worry about "learning DB" not a single class actually feels like itself until you're way past the levelling stage and up to tier 3 content

[errant rock]

Well i dont really dislike paladin but maybe a full on dps character like deathblade is somewhat better for a beginner like me.
So guess just continue with plai and go to vern

[crisp turtle]

If it was me, i'd continue with paladin, and instantly make your DB once you get the free vern powerpass.
especially in levelling content, you don't really feel at a disadvantage by playing a support. all of the levelling content is really chill

[errant rock]

Ah awesome! Thanks for your help!

[wanton nimbus]

when does the powerpass we got with Arcana expire?

[silver rain]

https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/how-to-make-gold-silver

[boreal cosmos]

pretty sure its 28/09

[wanton nimbus]

oh kk, so we will be able to use it on scouter then most likely if we've held?

just tryna avoid the awk spot of waiting to use on them n then it times out

[boreal cosmos]

you can create the class, powerpass it and not choose the sub class

[wanton nimbus]

ohhhh

[boreal cosmos]

like leave the char at lv 10, powerpass it, then when scouter comes out choose scouter

[boreal cosmos]

because it's possible the powerpass won't be available when the scouter comes out. And I am pretty sure the devs confirmed we won't get another powerpass for the scouter

[proven scaffold]

hey all, i've had this problem of not being able to press the gear in argos as raid lead to access the UI, anyone know a fix?

[wraith basin]

you have to be on the orange circle I think?

[boreal cosmos]

you're asking how you can obtain gold?
If you're still before lv. 50, just keep going with the game gold is pretty much irrelevant before the end game.
But basically the main way to obtain gold is by doing weekly end game content (dungeons, raids etc) that you won't get much of it before getting to T3.

[proven scaffold]

have tried it with all members in the orange circle, nothing

[silver rain]

drag the thing a bit down its possible thats its overlapping with the stop raid button

[upper knot]

Does the gold from artisan gold chest goes into deposit?

[silver rain]

unless you cant drag it at all then perhaps re-log (like switch char and back)

[boreal cosmos]

worst case just give someone else the leader to change groups

[proven scaffold]

i've been doing that for about 4 weeks now and it's getting annoying lmao

[boreal cosmos]

yea thats kinda fucked up ngl

[flat dagger]

Drag the party UI down... If you can't do that, then collapse the top left raid info box, then drag the party UI down.

[maiden locust]

too close to the top left infobar

[silver rain]

from masterpieces? i dont think so

[low trail]

no it doesnt

[tribal dust]

Is it possible to do gate 2 before gate 1?

[vocal flower]

whats ur ilvl

[maiden locust]

no?

[tribal dust]

ah ok

[maiden locust]

why would you wanna do that?

[tribal dust]

Cause there's a gate 2 party but no gate 1 party

Could at least finish 1

[maiden locust]

yeah you have to do gate 1 first

[tribal dust]

aight ty

[silver rain]

its almost reset day finding G1 party

[vocal flower]

always do ur weeklies asap

otherwise this happens 😄 usually ppl finish by sunday

[tribal dust]

I can't. I have a life 😔

[vocal flower]

?

[inner wing]

[maiden locust]

he doesn't have a life on Tue evenings, it's OK

[weak gate]

Hey guys i got a map with "(1 people) on it. Does this mean i cant do this with a party?

[buoyant herald]

yeah you one lucky mf

[weak gate]

no i had to bust my ass getting 80% on punika tome for it so it better be good

[silver rain]

its either red or sea bounty

[buoyant herald]

oh

sea bounty

[weak gate]

kekw face is a sign of misfortune. Is this map dog?

[buoyant herald]

its 60% of punika but yeah its nothing special just horizontal progression thing

[weak gate]

sht

[limpid obsidian]

Good to have tho. Gotta do sea bounties for the second epic wealth rune anyway

[buoyant herald]

yeah if you play arcana you really need it i guess

[weak gate]

I DO POG

[silver rain]

also nice silver reserve

[buoyant herald]

you do need a ton of them for the rune tho dot get too happy 😄

[weak gate]

does it matter which character i do it with?

[limpid obsidian]

Nope

[vagrant shore]

if i corro and throw splendid destruct, do i get weak point lvl5

[silver rain]

yea cuz +1 from coro

[boreal cosmos]

nope xD

most of them come from collectibles

it is, it just takes some time

[vocal flower]

if u jsut started playing the game, ofc not

[boreal cosmos]

lvl 60 gives you a lot

[buoyant herald]

takes ~4 months to get all of them if you go relatively slow

mokokos would be too simple

[boreal cosmos]

follow the maxroll guide for quests. Then start working for 20 island souls, giant hearts and omnium stars. you'll get them all over time.
Also do the tome of knowledge ones, they don't take too much time

[buoyant herald]

you will see
you gonna do it sooner or later

[uneven robin]

its ez

[buoyant herald]

it really is just takes time

[boreal cosmos]

the wosrt ones are the collectibles RNG drops

getting 6 stars lol

[buoyant herald]

nah

8 igneas by far the worst

[boreal cosmos]

fuck igneas

[uneven robin]

8 ignea aint bad, the early regions are ez to do

[boreal cosmos]

my char is just lv 57 and my roster isnt that high, haven't done much of collectibles content.
I have like 400h on the game now?

[vocal flower]

no one counted that man xd

[boreal cosmos]

just farm skill points from collectibles and tome

[buoyant herald]

took me ~4 or 5 months to do while just fucking around not focusing on it

[outer mason]

you can't equip both Corro and Destr, because they're both bombs btw

[severe sorrel]

Question: does anyone know what the best relic gear is for shadow hunter demonic impulse

[buoyant herald]

poem iirc

[vocal flower]

salv or hallu

[buoyant herald]

go to #shadow hunter

[severe sorrel]

Okay thanks!

[boreal cosmos]

depends on your necklace

[severe sorrel]

wdym necklace?

[boreal cosmos]

spec/crit neckalce or spec/swift

[severe sorrel]

i have 1600 spec and 500 crit

[boreal cosmos]

so go for salvation set

[severe sorrel]

Poem of salvation oo

Ok*

[boreal cosmos]

cuz hallucination gives you crit rate
you don't need that crit rate if you have 500crit stat

Which merchants sells the seria card?

[silver rain]

burt

[boreal cosmos]

Thanks

Is it wort using the legendary selection for LoS set?

[buoyant herald]

NOO

i mean not for the set
only for 18 awakening earliest

[boreal cosmos]

for 12 awk

[buoyant herald]

nah dont its a huge waste
you mostly dont even use it

[boreal cosmos]

Whats the name of the holy dmg set?

[buoyant herald]

light of salvation

you only start using it when you have 18 set

[boreal cosmos]

Yea I am soooo far away xD I don't think i'll ever make it to 30 awk's lol

[buoyant herald]

even then lwc 12 is sometimes better

[boreal cosmos]

I am still far away from LoS as well.. Need the seria cards that I never bothered buying. Gonna start doing that daily now

[buoyant herald]

its a LOOONG term goal

[vocal flower]

if ull quit the game be4 getting los 30, use select packs at 18

we r talking 1-2 years here

[boreal cosmos]

ye idk if i'll be alive in the next 2 years lmao

[vocal flower]

i think u will

[boreal cosmos]

could be hit by a car by then xD

yea well I'll keep them, I am not too far from LoS 12
If I drop another delain armen and kharmine cards I'll just need to be lucky with solas cards

[maiden locust]

you could fall off your stairs tommorow

[inland sedge]

29

[inland sedge]

okay okay ty

[boreal cosmos]

yeah just keep leveling. Gold isn't something you earn much of it before hitting ilvl 1370.

And by that point you'd want to get more characters to earn more gold as well

[inland sedge]

okay oaky im actually like ilvl 150 and lvl 29, i'll have a big powerspike or what ? bc it seems very long to level up items ?

[boreal cosmos]

you powerspike when you finish a tier by around 200 ilvl.
During the tier you also gain around 200 ilvl

so T1 is around up to 600. when you hit 600, you can start getting into T2 and that bumps you up instantly to around 800. When you finish T2 you'd be around 1000, and when starting T3 you start at 1302.

The T3 road milestones goes from 1302 - 1340.
then 1340 - 1370
Then 1370 - 1415

from 1320 you start doing abyssal dungeons that gives you around 2k gold weekly
from 1370 you unlock the hard mode for those dungeons and Argos abyssal raid. (argos is a 3 parts boss that requires you to be 1400ilvl to complete all of them. All of the parts gives around 2.7k gold. P1 gives you around 900IIRC)

from 1415 you unlock the first legion raid that, and at 1430 the 2nd one. each raid gives around 2.5k as well or more.
a 1430 character can get you around 10k gold or more weekly

[inland sedge]

its in verrryy late game nah ? so i have to go lvl 50 and up my ilvl to 600 right ?

[boreal cosmos]

the 1415 and up is "very late game"
but theres an event going on right now that would help you reach 1415 very quickly

you'd just have to rush the story for T1 and T2. once you reach 1302, you unlock the event and pretty much you can hit 1370 in one day.
The road from 1370 to 1415 would take you some time, at least 4-5 weeks

because at that point of the game, upgrading your gear starts costing gold. and most of your gold would go for honing at those stages.
You could rush T1 and T2 pretty quickly though

[inland sedge]

how many days ? and when i'll unlock raids etc it seems pretty fun

[hollow yoke]

Hello, a have a little (possible dumb) question - can one skip the main story up to punika on an alt using knowledge transfer?

[boreal cosmos]

you have a total of 14 continents to unlock before reaching the 1415 ilvl.
Each continent takes between 1 - 2h average to complete.
I marked you which continent is what. I believe you are still in west/east luterra if you're lvl 29.
Just rush the continent stories, hone your way to +15 on each tier and reach punika as fast as possible.
If you play a lot, you could probably rush that content up to punika in 2-3 days

[inland sedge]

ohh okay okay understood, should i do secondary quest ? or its useless

[boreal cosmos]

also, every SELECTION chest you recieve with honing materias inside of them, most of them have an option to choose between T1, T2 and T3 materials.
KEEP ALL OF THEM and only open the T3 materials options when you reach T3. @inland sedge

[inland sedge]

okk ty for the advice

[boreal cosmos]

because T1 and T2 materials are pretty much worthless nowdays, and T3 materials are worth of gold.
Since the game added the honing buff, it's possible to easily rush T1 and T2 while I was on T1 and T2 for a few weeks when the game came out (also I played slowly but yea)

selection chests look like this, and most of those you'd get up to T3 would have an option to choose between T1/T2 and T3 materials.

T1 materials are green, T2 are blue and T3 are orange like the ones on the photo

so you'd want to keep those and when you reach T3 chose the honor ones

[silver rain]

as long as you have the requirement (ilvl, 1 manual PP count, for 1 kt) but from what i've seen you could hone to 1100 do Feiton manually then KT punika which also completes the previous continents

[inland sedge]

ok i'll keep it

[hollow yoke]

hmm, okay, thankies

[maiden locust]

I would use both leapstone and shard chests on my way to be honest if I needed it

you probably don't need them now with the 100% honing buff

[flint wolf]

korea max skill points is 418?

[boreal cosmos]

leapstones are probably the ones he'd be stuck on at T3.. i'd keep those

[flint wolf]

so 10 more than us

[boreal cosmos]

the global buff would help him rush T1 and T2 so fast. it's a 100% chance and a +2 increasement instead of +1

[maiden locust]

420

[flint wolf]

do we get that with elgacia? so very far for us

[maiden locust]

i think so

[buoyant herald]

elgacia is like close to a year away for us 😄

[flint wolf]

thanks kermit enthusiast

[buoyant herald]

we get 414 with rowen or w/e the next region is called

[outer mason]

Despite the honing buff, main struggle in T1 and T2 is shards
need 120k shards in T1 and 200k shards in T2

[flint wolf]

well that's decent enough ig lul

[maiden locust]

islands give allot

[trail hawk]

thats a rare mistake there "allot", its "a lot"

[maiden locust]

is it>?

[boreal cosmos]

the correct one is "a lot"

[trail hawk]

yes, mostly ppl write alot, very rare its to see allot mistake

[rare vector]

My inner grammar [censored] is shocked as well.

[vocal flower]

just do stories, u have nothing else to worry about atm, keep the mats u get along the way (boxes etc) for t3

[rare vector]

Una's Task newb question...I completed a Chaos Dungeon clear, but can't hit complete. It keept telling me I cannot complete any more Una's Tasks. "You can use items that increase the daily limit of Una's Tasks".
I have the Una's Tasks [Daily] +1, but that doesn't work for weeklies (oops).
Is there a weekly equivalent of these +1 items?

[buoyant herald]

no weekly +1's 😄

[boreal cosmos]

weekly you can only do 3 per character

[rare vector]

Drat.

[trail hawk]

there are weekly +1, but only for royal coins

[buoyant herald]

also look out which ones you do dont waste them

[outer mason]

It's in the database though https://lostarkcodex.com/us/item/120211/

[vocal flower]

if ur low on shards, do some t1 t2 islands (wherever u are in ilvl)

Okay, that helps me plan, then.

[vocal flower]

do t1 islands then, ull have more than enough mats : )

[rare vector]

Right-o. I just unlocked Yorn, but I am feeling a teensy bit underpowered.

Oh, it was a lot of fun once I figured out it's not really ranged and had the builder / finisher paradigm. I feel kind of like a rogue with cards.

[vocal flower]

yeah arcanist isnt easy and is kinda expensive to gear moving forward as shes the newest class

[rare vector]

What do you think's a beginner friendly?

[boreal cosmos]

isn't there also a rework coming for arcanist?

[trail hawk]

anything else xd

[vocal flower]

^

[boreal cosmos]

shadowhunter very beginner friendly and easy to gear. the real fun starts at t3 tho

[vocal flower]

sorceress is very easy to play and her animations r similar to arcanist

[rare vector]

I have a shadowhunter, but she's on another server. Very much fun.

[boreal cosmos]

also gunslinger is hella fun but hard and squishy

[boreal cosmos]

oooof what a mistake.

[vocal flower]

gunlancer, shadowhunter, zerk, sorc, scrapper - many classes r easy to play

[rare vector]

Yeah. I didn't realise what I was giving up in the server reroll.

[vocal flower]

i would suggest u get urself to t3 with arcanist and once u get a punika pass, use it on another char and make it ur new main

[boreal cosmos]

yea thats a good idea

[trail hawk]

i mean, you can go another class now, and do tower with it, there youll get mats

[vocal flower]

yeah thats also an alternative, though ull have to do the quest stories again, punika will get u straight to 1302, up to u which method ull wanna do

but later down the line ull wanna make quite a few alts to speed up ur progression, so u can swap around at any moment really

[boreal cosmos]

yeah don't do towers.
fuck that.
Keep going for punika and then use pass

[rare vector]

I don't like the male chars so I am kinda stuck on some choices until female berserker comes out (and artist and aeromancer). hehe

[vocal flower]

the only time ur really "commiting" to a main class is when ull be choosing who to use ur express event at 1302-1370, but even then u easily can switch around

[rare vector]

I'm a super casual altoholic so I don't mind hopping around less efficiently.

[vocal flower]

i wouldnt count on waiting for the latest classes that arent even out in KR. check out sorc (much easier arcanist version), bard (if u like to be a support)

[light latch]

Guys can we only do field boss OR ghost ship when they are available? This is happening for the 2nd time I did not do any ghost ship today and it shows Tempest Ghost Ship Claimed

[vocal flower]

or guinslinger, though shes harder to play/squishy

[trail hawk]

you can do either one, field or gs yes. but gs is per week, while field bosses are per day

[rare vector]

I have a glaivier, too.

[boreal cosmos]

gunslinger is hella fun but very hard.

and also hard to find groups with gunslingers

[vocal flower]

glaiviers fun too, i have her

[boreal cosmos]

i'd suggest you to reach punika, use pass, then focus on one class to reach at least 1415
after reaching 1415, start getting more alts to T3 so you could get more gold and funnel mats to your main

[rare vector]

Cruisin' back to Yorn so I can work through that. 🙂

[boreal cosmos]

yeah just rush the story. do side quests if youd like for more XP and roster xp.

[rare vector]

Y'all are super helpful. Appreciate it.

[vocal flower]

just dm if u need any help, love helping new ppl : )

[rare vector]

Lots of MMO folks like to talk down to casual newbs like me. I've just...well, I've done some hardcore raiding back in the day and I'm just tired and wanna play virtual barbies running in the woods killing stuff and making stuff.

[boreal cosmos]

don't think that lost ark don't have hardcore raiding tho lol

[rare vector]

Oh yes. And I THINK I am on one of the servers for that. Azena NA-East

[boreal cosmos]

sure it's pretty chill if you got a group, but people took some time beating vykas when it came out few months ago

if you got a static group it's pretty chill to run weekly raids
PUG can take some time to beat if people aren't working together well

[light latch]

That is super confusing, UI shows them as separate things we can do

[boreal cosmos]

they just spawn at the same times.
So you could do GS in the first hour, and then another hour later the field boss

but yea, you claim rewards for GS once per weekly reset and field bosses once per day they arrive

[light latch]

oh so I can do both in the same day?

[vocal flower]

ofc

[boreal cosmos]

sure thing, just at different hours because they always spawn at the same time

[light latch]

But then why does my procyon's compass tells me that I have claimed Tempest Ghost Ship

because I definitely did not do ghost ship today, this happened before as well

[maiden locust]

it's weekly content

[vocal flower]

uve entered once this week

[trail hawk]

because you probably entered gs this week already

tomorrow is reset tho, dont worry

[light latch]

Ah I see. I thought it was also daily like others. Thanks for the clarification 👍

[boreal cosmos]

yea weekly reset is in wendsday

[trail hawk]

also, since gs is weekly events, its good to do the 14day quest for eibern ship with insta done

so you actually get the ship in 2 weeks instead months

[boreal cosmos]

you can

to do it in 14 days instead of weeks

[maiden locust]

yo

to which level should i enchant as f2p

[trail hawk]

hone you mean?

[maiden locust]

yes

[boreal cosmos]

the only limit between you and a player who bought gold is how fast you'd progress

[trail hawk]

depends where you are atm

[maiden locust]

i havent played for months im at 600

[boreal cosmos]

just rush T1 and T2 to hit T3 asap

[trail hawk]

so youre ready to go yorn

[maiden locust]

just checked things cost 1 gold for upg

[boreal cosmos]

you upgrade each tier to +15

[maiden locust]

already done

[boreal cosmos]

so do story and reach t2

[maiden locust]

oof

ait ty gonna do the story

[boreal cosmos]

t2 is also again 1 - +15
and from T3 you go beyond +15

[hollow yoke]

t3 is a pain cus it costs gold and i got none 🥲

[rapid marten]

anyone know why I cant do trial guardians ?

it says "cannot enter trial guardians yet"

[pseudo atlas]

trial isn't in the game

[rapid marten]

oh shit I was tryna do event guardians

ty

[maiden locust]

thats the other statue

[rare vector]

I'm at the same point as @maiden locust I think.

[maiden locust]

yes apperantly u need to do the story in order to progress to T2

😩

[rare vector]

Heh, I like the story.

Translation errors and all.

[maiden locust]

ye its not bad

me like demon

how much does 1 gold equal silver nowdays?

[trail hawk]

you dont buy silver with gold

[rare vector]

I kind of wish they didn't have silver and gold in the game as two separate currency types.

[trail hawk]

well, they are

[pseudo atlas]

you can buy silver with gold but man that transaction is awful

truly bad value

[rare vector]

Sadly, yes. Was so unhappy when I realised my silver wouldn't upgrade to gold. -_-

[trail hawk]

silver is used for other things than gold, both are used for honing tho

[rare vector]

These Umar are kinky. They want me to tie up a guy and toss him to somebody!

[tulip copper]

so i cant use this in legion raids?

[tulip copper]

WHY

wait.. im sorry.. im sorry for pursuing reason in this game

[sand chasm]

because there is no starting point in legion raids

[tulip copper]

then remove durability in legion raids

[eternal zenith]

because if not Crystaline aura is useless

[sand chasm]

you have aura and pet fix your gear in raid with that

anytime you want

[tulip copper]

oh reallyy?? damn

next rain ill catch some aura from sky

[sand chasm]

just dont be poor on gold or $ and you will catch one

[tulip copper]

4Head

[sand chasm]

stupid question, stupid answer

[vocal flower]

you can buy 6 months for 20 bucks

[sand chasm]

isnt 6 months like 50$?

or do i have some old info?

[vocal flower]

it is if you do it the regular way

[sand chasm]

what way do you have

[rose jewel]

the one posted on reddit for the world to see

[swift magnet]

there was a post on reddit where you can buy vern powerpass on a different server than ur current one, buy the lvl 50 pack which gives you a shit ton of blue crystals

[tulip copper]

considering the question "why" stupid is beyond stupid of you

[swift magnet]

with those blue crystals you can buy 6 months of aura

[sand chasm]

sheesh that is actually

[swift magnet]

just check reddit for crystalline aura 20$ and youll find it

[vocal flower]

u can buy the 1100RC pack on as many servers as u want

[sand chasm]

your question was answered and you keep babyraging

[vocal flower]

and the aura is for ur entire account

[vocal flower]

stop giving him attention

[tulip copper]

it wasnt but i wasnt expecting you to comprehend that so nevermind

[sand chasm]

bruh i am wiping in abrel p4 at 11pm let me have some fun with this regular dumbass

[vocal flower]

brel enjoyer doesnt know the server RC cheese

[sand chasm]

i dont go to reddit very often

and no one discussed it here that i saw

[vocal flower]

i also dont, reddit comes to me when posts blow up hard enough

[rose jewel]

i love reddit, its so bad

[sand chasm]

i used to browser LA reddit but its boring now

its mostly just complaints

[crimson dragon]

I have played deathblade to 1355 but now I feel like playing shadowhunter, should i just change?

[maiden locust]

sure

[inland sedge]

it is for the pvp ?

[maiden locust]

yeah

[inland sedge]

ok ok

[maiden locust]

what ilvl is your shadowhunter

[crimson dragon]

0

[pseudo atlas]

is your db your only char right now?

[maiden locust]

get you blade to 1385 and then make shadowhunter

[crimson dragon]

I have a sorc 1337

[rare vector]

Leet. heh

[pseudo atlas]

i'd say get the db to at least 1370

[crimson dragon]

okay

[maiden locust]

1385 is better no?

[pseudo atlas]

can make the sh right now and work on it a bit

well sure, but 1370 is argos/orehard gold so at least 1370 so they get more gold

ideally 1385 for t3 honing research

[trail hawk]

1385 is so so right now, because most of groups are doing argos p3, but with 1370 you only do p1... so its bit hard to find groups wholl do p2

[crimson dragon]

my problem is i'll probably never be able to buy extra character slots, so might have to delete db later, if i want to play other classes

[pseudo atlas]

cross that bridge when you get there

[crimson dragon]

okk

[pseudo atlas]

until you actually have 6 chars any progress on any of them is daily/weekly gold and mats

[crimson dragon]

doing dailies and weeklies on just 2 character takes all my time

btw should i use the express event on my sorc or save it for the shadowhunter?

[pseudo atlas]

did you use the punika pass on sorc?

[crimson dragon]

yes

[pseudo atlas]

if you don't like db you could consider using it on sorc to push to 1385 instead of the db, not sure if that's better or worse value compared to using it on sh

assuming you want to keep using the sorc

[crimson dragon]

yes, i like sorc

[vale hatch]

is there a section on the forum where I can report players?

[rare vector]

There's a report option in game.

[vale hatch]

I did that, but I want to make sure he's getting banned

[polar shard]

Probably won’t get banned

[rare vector]

Not sure. I would think the in game report would be the best way.

[tulip prawn]

how do i get courage to everyone achievement?

[ancient lark]

if one report can ban a player it would be a mess

[rare vector]

Hm, what the heck's up with this Soul Calibur sword dude in Yorn?

I guess I'll be keeping an... EYE out for updates.

[snow cypress]

i have so many chests to open, it's overhwhelming

idk what items do what and i have to pick between them

[rare vector]

Same. Storage full of chests.

[hidden lichen]

hey, once i got my legion raid relic set, i can dismantle covetous fang and demon beist vein, yea?

just keep demonic beasts bone and covetous wing for stone of chaos exchange

[pseudo atlas]

they aren't dismantleable

[hidden lichen]

oh, what to do with them

[pseudo atlas]

store, vendor, destroy

i don't believe there are any uses for them at all after you get relic

[humble relic]

i can't log in in game been trying for 10 mins

[alpine charm]

if I leave a guild before gvg rewards are distributed, will I still get them?

[low trail]

did you try turning it off and on again

steam / game / pc

verify game files

repair EAC

[low trail]

if you leave the guild, how are they gonna distribute them to you

its not automatically

guild leader decides the split of the gold

[alpine charm]

hence why I asked lol, thanks for the answer

[fallow kiln]

hey guys how much is this worth? im in NAW

[dusky sigil]

wild guess maybe 80-100k

since many people play RE on 1, so the +5 on RE is very huge

[maiden locust]

LA anticheat is shit

[trail hawk]

because in other mmos, bots arent that obvious

[mellow spire]

I just did vykas for the first time but i didnt get the title , anyone knows why?

[maiden locust]

you need 5 clears for the first title

[mellow spire]

dam , thats like 5 weeks

[maiden locust]

thats why you need alts

[mellow spire]

yh i have a bunch at 1370, yet to get them to 1430

[rigid plank]

It's actually 10 clears for the title

[dusky sigil]

10, 20, 30 for titles

[dusky sigil]

just take your time, youll catch up anyways since content is very limited anyways

[mellow spire]

u sure it's 10?

[dusky sigil]

because its only the "first" stage

[mellow spire]

welp , big f

[dusky sigil]

you reach the 2nd stage with 5 clears, 10 with 3rd iirc

[mellow spire]

yh i got it now

[dusky sigil]

👍

[stark siren]

30 is a different acheivement

[remote sage]

how do i get the "vykas" title. On my alt I cleared 2x normal mode already (on main several times hard mode) and i dont have it

[hollow arch]

Is it worth buying crystaline aura with gold (by buying blue crystals), when the price is so high ?

[eternal zenith]

10 clear i think

[maiden locust]

whats bc price for you?

[hollow arch]

1425 g

[maiden locust]

thats not that bad

[remote sage]

10x NM or doesnt matter what mode?

[thin token]

10x any mode

ive gotten the title on my alts that dont have access to hard mode yet, so yea normal mode works too

[remote sage]

ah ty. Crazy, could have sworn that I had more than 10 times already xd should be getting this next week then

[unkempt drift]

is there any way to buy a powerpass on sale now and use it for scouter?

[maiden locust]

should be

[inland dagger]

Why isn't quest for levitate emote popping up?

[stark siren]

how do you get the invader to sapwn

[inland dagger]

turtle is the invader

[stark siren]

yea

[echo owl]

usually youd just hit one of the bosses enough and it teleports right on you

[stark siren]

i ran the whole map and there's only urnil and legoros

[maiden locust]

yeah hit them and the turtle will come

[stark siren]

o ok

[flint wolf]

how much life energy do you need daily for the stronghold farm?

[long elk]

is there any table for argos/legion chests?

[brazen ember]

whats the best stronghold farm setup?

[limpid obsidian]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HzxSyRF8ZPv5leCeh8GaKTc0WhJlWblMn5IDPNWaEzU

[limpid obsidian]

Depends on what you need.
Mining/Logging for free repair of dispatch ships, and some crafting.
Mushrooms and Flowers for bombs and potions.
Excavation for crafting Fusion materials.
And Hunting and Fishing for cooking I guess, I don't do that much.

[long elk]

seems like every hard vykas or valtan is worth lol

[limpid obsidian]

Yep, if you value chaos stones at 500g and care about the materials they give.

[hot dock]

do u need to reach t3 in order to get the lucky mokoko to spawn? i haven't got a single one since the start of the event

[maiden locust]

no

[limpid obsidian]

Nah, chances are just awfully low :(

[hot dock]

does it increase the chance tou?

[maiden locust]

nope

[hot dock]

how come i see tons of people getting it every hour

[maiden locust]

just people getting lucky

[hot dock]

must not be that rare unless the announcement is region wide

[maiden locust]

it probably is

[rigid plank]

The announcement is server wide I think, if it was region, there would be WAY more in the list

[limpid obsidian]

If 500 players are doing it, and the chance is 5% per event(it's per seed AFAIK, but let's keep it simple), that would mean that there's 25 people getting it.
That's still a low chance, and you'd need an average of 20 attempt to get one.

The number is made up, it's just to illustrate the point.

[brazen ember]

yeah just trying to find most efficient setup/rows for making bombs and potions weekly

[primal lynx]

hey there, im a new player whos considering their first alt (main is artillerist), and was wondering if people had some suggestions based off my preferences:

1. no piano high apm classes- hands get tired haha
2. prefer classes that have a lot of decision making/flexibility in their rotation/priorities, very static loops tend to bore me
3. want to feel good doing stuff solo, I probably will do stuff more minimally in groups
4. strongly prefer a female character-- but might consider another male character (destroyer felt kind of sweet)
   will primarily do pve but might dabble in some pvp as well.

Suggestions appreciated! I def have preferences for aesthetics, but its hard to get a real sense for the gameplay loops without asking

[dawn umbra]

Do stronghold researches timers freeze during maintenance period or not?

[limpid obsidian]

I don't think so

[grand knot]

Hi, does anyone know how leg. grudge prices tend to change after reset?

[dawn umbra]

u dont think they freeze?

[limpid obsidian]

Pretty sure they keep ticking/progressing

[buoyant saffron]

i got a question can u get banned for mailing your friend a outfit

[dawn umbra]

No u cant

[limpid obsidian]

Probably not, but you or he might need to pay pheons for it.

[buoyant saffron]

ok i was abit worried

[dawn umbra]

I mail my friends 20k golds all the time cuz they are broke af

[buoyant saffron]

fair enough XD

[wintry mauve]

How do ppl earn like 40k+ golda week? Ik I don’t have a full gold Roster but with all 4 of my characters I can barely break 25k a week

[maiden locust]

more alts

[echo owl]

you kinda answered yourself

[buoyant saffron]

lol

[wintry mauve]

How many alts do ppl usually have? Just a full gold roster?

[maiden locust]

yeah you cant earn gold after that from raids

unless you buss or something

[wintry mauve]

Gotcha gotta grind more then thanks

[dawn umbra]

Do argos bus

[wintry mauve]

Could I do that at 1475v

[maiden locust]

sure

[dawn umbra]

will give x3 more gold than if u only do it with others

yes ofc u can

[wintry mauve]

I want to j scared of messing up hella lol

[dawn umbra]

well if u mess up, give gold back and dont be a 💩

but 1475 is doable depending on ur weapon lvl

[wintry mauve]

Ye ofc i ain’t that evil. It’s just seeing like 1490+ ppl fail an Argos bus is kinda scary. Also I’m just equal level on my gear

[dawn umbra]

they fail the moon mech cuz they play something like Arti and they cant move around

[rigid plank]

I strongly recommend to practice first before doing an actual bus

[dawn umbra]

but they dont fail dps ofc

[wintry mauve]

Oooooooooh ok thought it wasn’t enough dps or something

[dawn umbra]

or as Ahni said, do a free test run

[wintry mauve]

Gotcha I’ll start some practice runs next week thanks everyone

[primal lynx]

hey between the martial artists- which tends to feel the best overall with general solo content ?
and between the assassins (db vs sh)

[uneven robin]

every dps is good in solo content

[primal lynx]

so none feel more clunky than others? worse aoes?

[rare vector]

Newbie me has Glaivier and Shadowhunter.

Both at level 50, solo.

For what it's worth. Not really doing much "progression" with them, though.

[primal lynx]

ah yee, im pretty curious about low-manning content and general silly stuff like that

[uneven robin]

there isnt much huge difference

[rare vector]

Aesthetics and such.

I have an arcanist too and am just poking at a sorc. I like the arcanist because she reminds me of a magical rogue or something. You mentioned not liking rotations, so I'd probably avoid arcanist.

[primal lynx]

yeahh makes sense

i dont know much about arcanist though but i would assume the card mechanic adds enough variety

varied/proc based rotations are fine i think

[rare vector]

Because of the z x cards, yeah

That might make things interesting / challenging enough for you.

[primal lynx]

yeah, ive just played a ton of mmos where some classes feel literally scripted

granted thats less of a thing in this game with the more focus on movement it seems

[rare vector]

Haha, as a former WOW tankadin, I feel that in my bones.

You could almost macro the entire rotation.

[primal lynx]

yeahhh, those tend to get boring quick i think

[rare vector]

Have you checked lost-ark.maxroll.gg? Wondering if any of the gameplay summaries might help you decide.

[primal lynx]

oh, might be a good idea! will check

[blazing badger]

some classes have separate builds that are good for bosses and good for large amounts of trash (though you can use the same for both if you want, boss is far more important), while some can just do the same with both. overall though, every dps is pretty fine

[primal lynx]

why do people hate on soulfist then :<

[blazing badger]

and bear in mind due to how class engravings work in this game, there's basically twice as many classes to play as you might think

[primal lynx]

i def dont mind balance at all, just clunkiness/rewarding feeling

also yeahh, havent gotten deep into engravings yet

[rare vector]

Fair point on that...I was reading the document for arcanists and there are at least 3 separate builds in it. -_-

One for chaos dungeons, one for Empress' Grace, and one for Order of the Emperor.

[echo owl]

chaos one is just a slightly modified emperor

and chaos in general is pretty trivial

but yes often gameplay differences is based on which class engraving you choose

[rare vector]

Considering I button mash my way through chaos dungeons... yeah.

[blazing plover]

So i play on East and am thinking of making a west character for the sole purpose of using West gold to buy crystals for 30 day aura. Do I have to manually get to Punika to get access to current express mission and powerpass?

[echo owl]

yes

[vapid sand]

is there a way to get 4x3 but in a way where i need minimal pieces to swap to upgrade to 5x3?

[rain meadow]

probably? don't really want to math/calc it right now though

[wraith basin]

not really

[flint wolf]

which card pack do i pick from challenge abyss if i want to complete field boss set?

[wintry mauve]

For 1430 alts if I went 17/17/17/17/8/8 would I need the weapon to be 17 to do dmg for vykas?

[echo owl]

thats not even 1430

and at that point youre just griefing yourself for not having pieces at 12 since theyre so easy to get anyways

regardless weapon on 12 is fine enough

[wintry mauve]

Srry meant 12 not 8 but ye 12 is fine on weapon then?

[echo owl]

yes

[wintry mauve]

Gotcha thanks

[hushed sleet]

for doing cubes in stronghold. is platinum the highest one?

[warm jacinth]

where do I find crafting plans for stronghold stuff?

[sleek vale]

can someone please tell me what arthetine's sailing time is today? can't access LA atm and can't find it on google

[rigid plank]

11:30PM PST and this is a site you can use in the future https://www.lostarktimer.app/en/alarms

[sleek vale]

tysm

[gaunt sleet]

anyone encountered this quest and can't find sasha?

[tidal ingot]

where do i see unas tasks

[umbral belfry]

how long does a typical valtan bus take

[buoyant saffron]

is it worth making an alt account and can u get banned for doing so or na?

[shrewd pollen]

What do creation fragments do?

[compact knoll]

adventure > una tasks

[compact knoll]

for enhancing your cards

[shrewd pollen]

Thx

[compact knoll]

should take 30m or less

if they are half decent

[limpid obsidian]

Rightclick the pack, then Ctrl+Rightclick the packs in the selector and click preview contents or something. That way you can check all cards.

[limpid obsidian]

Alt+J

[dreamy bluff]

anyone here with exp of buying/selling a raid bus? can you trade inside a raid?(ex: argos)

[pseudo atlas]

usually the bussers will just put up a lv1 gem or something you buy off the auction house

if you're on the same server you can mail them gold instead

[dreamy bluff]

ah okay. but what about the pug ones? they recruit people to help them bus, how do they trade after? do they do the same thing? u put something up and they buy it?

[blazing badger]

I'm guessing they do the same thing and just assign one customer to one driver, though I've never pugged drivers to know for sure. but it makes sense to me. gems tend to be used because they don't cost pheons and don't rely on you being on the same server (in which case you can do direct mail transfer)

[echo owl]

i mean theres really only 2 categories of people

drivers - those who are carrying will put an item up and get money
buyers/passengers - just buy said item from the driver

doesnt matter if the drivers know each other or not theyre just doing a job

[pseudo atlas]

yeah it's not gold going through the leader, the drivers just split the customers on their own and get paid individually

presumably they figure that out before the run starts if it's a 3 person bus, but 2 or 4 drivers is very straightforward

[peak wyvern]

After reaching 1415 now what? Do I just craft Relic gear for my DB or no?

[pseudo atlas]

relic gear is 1445

[echo owl]

congrats you get to do valtan and get mats

maybe you could try to get 1430 so you can do vykas for the other gear mats

[pseudo atlas]

1415 to 1445 is just hone and do new content, crafting the legendary legion sets are optional

[peak wyvern]

Oh is it better to keep my Argos gear rn rather than make the leg. legion set?

[echo owl]

i personally enjoy using the 2p demon beast set because of consistency

[peak wyvern]

I guess I keep honing for now? that's kinda nice :^) ty for the help

[pseudo atlas]

2pc argos w/ legendary legion is better but i don't think it will matter that much unless you spend a long time pre-relic

[cloud pendant]

When is clown coming out?

I’m still catching up on content, currently still 1400 on main. Feel like won’t be catching up forever

[orchid timber]

so. i wanted to know is there a way for whenever my net is down for the game to not shut down completely?

[rough whale]

im trying to plan out my 3x3 engravings on RE deathblade. im trying to do lv3 super charge, grudge, and cursed doll with lv 1 RE.

which two engravings should fill up my engraving book slots with?

[rigid plank]

End of September, approx 28th

[near hound]

Grudge and RE

[cloud pendant]

Is there new pass coming out?

[rigid plank]

Ark pass or power pass?

[rough whale]

RE is only gonna be lv 1 tho, wouldnt that be a waste of the slot? i can just get it on an accessory

[cloud pendant]

Both

[rigid plank]

Ark pass unknown, power pass no

[pseudo atlas]

no, it's an online game so if your internet goes out it stops working entirely

[peak wyvern]

Ark pass, nawp, no news yet, even in the forums people are asking, and Roxx said not much about it

[orchid timber]

not every online game stops working entirely when ur net is down -.- in fact lost ark is the only one i know that does that, LOL u just get a message until ur net is back, multiple other games take u to the server list

[pseudo atlas]

okay

[peak wyvern]

I think they said Grudge, and RE, because in the long run Class Engravings on the accessories get expensive last time I heard, then Grudge is just generally good if you like the playstyle of it and it can be used by a couple other classes If not most DPS

[tropic steppe]

Not like you should believe everything the cms say anyway.
The info they're given is often wrong.

[glacial night]

is there anything to throw brown/yellow seals on or do i just convert to green

[versed harbor]

do you get 10 rest per daily una?

[brave rapids]

Yes. If you rest all 3 daily unas, you get 30. If you rest for 2 days, you'll have 60 on Day 3, which is enough to double all 3 of your tasks on that day.

[thorny loom]

I’m currently trying to get a mokoko seed behind an obstacle in Yorn, that’s as durable as the fence at mount zagoras. I placed something heavy on my mouse as it’s taking forever to break it.

But several times I see my character stop attacking with some message that pops up something about “restriction” 🤔I don’t see the message in chat box though even in system chat. Anyone know what that is?

[brave rapids]

They think you're botting. Move your mouse around a bit

[thorny loom]

😐

Sigh. So I need to not drop@something heavy on my mouse and physically mash my mouse? 😦

[brave rapids]

I'm not 100% sure, but I got the same message when I did the exact same thing you did. I google'd it and some players have claimed that they got 3 day bans after receiving too many of those messages. That being said, it was back when Lost Aark NAEU was just starting up, and they could have been banned for any number of things. It just seems like if you keep attacking in the same direction without pause, you'll get the message more often.

[thorny loom]

It’s this annoying makoko seed.

[tulip copper]

Can someone tell me the time for the maintenance? The event link on discord says the page does not exist

[brave rapids]

Pretty sure it's in 2.5 hours

[tulip copper]

Thnx

[rigid plank]

its <t:1661929200:R>

[dreamy bluff]

does normal mode have this too? i believe it was a boss 1 drop

[pseudo atlas]

no

[mellow mauve]

only from the first time clear in hard

[dreamy bluff]

danm okay. thought i missed out on some good shit

[fiery zinc]

where can i get purple combat engravings?

[jaunty monolith]

hey guys i have a question

im about to hit 1370 with my current main and would like to make the best use of my power pass that i will get by finishing south vern.

i can’t decide if i should go soul fist or gunslinger

would you mind sharing your experiences with both classes in endgame

[crude cliff]

does anyone know if i skip rohendel and yorn story, and do feiton story , will powerpass consider rohendel and yorn done or i have to pay for that still ?

[pseudo atlas]

it will only count feiton as done, so only 1100rc discount

[paper glacier]

can stone of chaos drop from TW when below 1460?

[balmy wadi]

i killed moake why did i not get the omnium is it only a chance?

[pseudo atlas]

yes

[balmy wadi]

dang it

[pseudo atlas]

pretty low chance too i hear

[vale elm]

can take weeks

[balmy wadi]

dang this wealth rune is hard

[shy yarrow]

the last 3 stars are all rng

pretty shitty to lock the wealth, skill pot and a nice protection rune behind all of that

[unborn mauve]

is there some sort of video or resource to teaching how to build a character, theres a lot to this game and i like the game a lot but i am very overwhelemed with all the items and stuff i have to do to make my character stronger

sorry if this is redundant

[woven garnet]

i keep get this error =.=

how to fix it ?

[shy yarrow]

youve been banned

[pseudo atlas]

a bulk of it is just "get gear, upgrade gear"
class-specific stats/engravings/etc you can find in the class channels in this discord or on maxroll https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/

[woven garnet]

it really annoy if dc while doing hard legion ....

[unborn mauve]

yea i guess that kinda stuff just is confusing to me, like the engravings and etc

but ty

[shy yarrow]

start with just class engraving and some correct combat stats, everything else is mostly up to you

[pseudo atlas]

if you're under ilvl1370 it is basically just "slap on class engraving and go"

[unborn mauve]

lvl 1370?? im only lvl 40

[shy yarrow]

most of the early parts of this game is just playing your class well enough to get further to t3

[pseudo atlas]

ilvl 1370, level 50+

if you're just level 40 the only real thing you can do is do story and upgrade gear from drops

[shy yarrow]

then dont worry, leveling is just pick and replace for gear and your skills and whatnot dont matter then

[unborn mauve]

oki

ye thats kinda what ive been doing, and just picking random skills that look cool, im very nooby and these kind of games so

[pseudo atlas]

maxroll also has guides for what skills to use for your class while leveling (content before lv50/vern)

probably will still be fine with whatever though, learning what each skill does is good

[unborn mauve]

i was watching some videos on youtube

about my class, but all the things they were talking about i didnt really know or understand and i was getting super overwhelemed

[pseudo atlas]

probably was a guide for endgame

[unborn mauve]

it was like showing me what to build or lvl up and stuff

[sturdy ravine]

The big final reward chest can only be claimed by the char who did the hyper express mission right?

[mystic crane]

For the time after you hit 50, and until ilvl 1370, go with Energy Overflow as your only class engraving. The other feels not as good at the start due to missing Spec stat points
@unborn mauve

[shy yarrow]

yes, i tried and dont think you can accept the bound mats on anyone but the char doing the event

[sturdy ravine]

Sadge that 100k honor shards woul have been nice on the main

[weak gate]

someone tell me where to go for the punika sea bounty. I cant find it 😦

[pseudo atlas]

uh what map is that

[weak gate]

the one you get from the punika adventure tome. Its a map

[unborn mauve]

ok ty

[mystic crane]

Have fun! You can be 100% melee or 50% ranged

[pseudo atlas]

it also tells you on the map where to go if you're close enough

[weak gate]

oh damn, thanks alot 😄

[arctic flower]

anyone have any idea what hairstyles they're gonna release?

[rigid plank]

If I remember, these are the next ones we will get

[arctic flower]

omgg thanks!

[tulip copper]

Non of the sections in "contact support" page has the live chat option. Do they enable that in certain times of the day?

[fierce hill]

anybody know what pants is this? I cannot find in shop (maybe i am blind )

[weak gate]

i damn near had a heart attack i thought i was in a nsfw discord randomly

[silver rain]

cloud dream

or wind dream these two are roughly the same

[sand chasm]

did you get banned?

[velvet stream]

How bad is lvl 1 atk reduc for DPS?

[sand chasm]

dont worry about it

[cloud pendant]

Do I need to complete vykas hard in order to get access to the gear set conversion?

[sand chasm]

no you need to acquire 55 valtan bone plates and 55 wings

[velvet stream]

Alright thanks

[cloud pendant]

How many can I get in a run?

[sand chasm]

6 nm, 12 hm from both raids

[cloud pendant]

I just need to do it once ?

[sand chasm]

per character

[cloud pendant]

Or do I need 55 of those every time I want to change set?

[sand chasm]

once per character

[sleek vale]

how much is the rng legendary card pack worth from challenge abyss?

[arctic flower]

that's probably wind dream that's dyed

[sand chasm]

how much you are willing to pay for it

[sleek vale]

thank you, that's very helpful

[cloud pendant]

Is betrayal set the best for chaos dungeon?

[sand chasm]

ive seen them go for 500g and also for 50k there is not right answer

[sleek vale]

KR averages are a good reference, but idk what they are

[silver rain]

avg is 30k+

[sand chasm]

no they are not, KR has hella more inflation

you cant compare KR prices for packs and EU/NA when they have 2-3 times higher BC price

[sleek vale]

I figured the prices when the dungeon first released would be a decent gauge

[sleek vale]

that's the avg for the rng one? or the selection one

[low trail]

selection one is around 30k

rng one is anything below that probably

but it's worth as much as people are willing to pay for it

[sleek vale]

I see. got one for 5k. paid off thankfully. got balthorr just now

[low trail]

nice

[solar elm]

If I buy an equipment piece with tripods from the marketplace on one of my chars, can I mail the equipment piece to another char? (my char isn't 1415 and i want to buy an equip for him on another char and give it to him later)

[silver rain]

the other char wont be able to receive it cuz you still need 1415 to receive one. also if why would you pay twice the pheons

[solar elm]

i dont mind paying 2x pheonsi'll get to 1415 eventually, i'll hold for him

[silver rain]

if they are different class im not sure if you can buy tripod from another class. but if you could you can send it thru mail to one of your char if they've met the required ilvl to receive one yea

[sleek vale]

you can buy the gear piece from the other class, just has to at least be 1415 iirc

but unless you're getting a REALLY good deal, I wouldn't pay double the pheons for it

you're better off trying to push that alt to 1415

especially considering how inflated the bc price is rn

[silver rain]

also make sure they have amount of tradeable left like at least 1 time

[sleek vale]

the inflation got people posting ridiculous prices on the market lol

I've seen adr5/cd3 rings that could barely sell at 5-10k go for 30-50k now

[silver rain]

yea unless it was a steal with like 2-3 lvl4s i'd not pay double pheons since by the time my char reach 1415 they'll probably be another ones anyway

[low trail]

I'm happy I made my 5x3 early

[sleek vale]

I needed one last ring for my main and was camping market for the right piece to come along. might have to cave in and buy 1 time trades left or malice

or just spend an extra 5-10k

[low trail]

I'd rather make perfect 5x3 instead of always having the feeling that I should change smth

[cloud pendant]

Does mats drop in cube and boss rush tradeble?

[silver rain]

1 trade left isnt that bad considering you'd be using them until 1540 Brel HM or even beyond that

[sleek vale]

fair point

[low trail]

no

[low trail]

until then relic probably will drop by alot

[sleek vale]

prolly just gonna have to settle for a few crit less, which isn't a big deal

it's just that if I were able to find a +1 movement speed malice ring, my malice would've been perfectly at 3/3/3/3

a e s t h e t i c s

[low trail]

[cloud pendant]

Where is the maharaka npc?

[low trail]

in town

[sleek vale]

in every major town

[cloud pendant]

Ok

[sleek vale]

server is down btw

[cloud pendant]

I need advise on the best una task for leapstone?

[dusk veldt]

Most people do shushire + 2 feiton ones

[ancient lark]

the one where you free slaves is good but cost pirate coins

[arctic flower]

proving grounds as well

[dusk veldt]

That's weekly tho

[vale elm]

if u buy specific slaves, u can make a profit but that requires alot of time

[balmy wadi]

is there a guide for sea bounties?

like what's the easiest to do first

[radiant flame]

Probably the maps you get from adventure tome, stronghold merchants and rapport

But I think over 50% of sea bounties are RNG gated

[radiant token]

What happens if you fail fear check in Valtan phase 1?

[radiant flame]

Behind island/boss drops

[balmy wadi]

is the adventure tome when u press N?

[radiant flame]

And I think the worst ones are the ones in the gates after sailing voyage missions. But nothing really good is locked behind bounties so i wouldn’t prioritise them at all

[radiant flame]

Unsure. Not in game. Think so? It’s just the completion of continents. Most continents give you a secret map at 60/70% or so

[radiant flame]

The stagger? I think the person that gets feared just dies

[radiant token]

Hmm, there was a wipe one time when we failed It, i didnt understand why

[radiant flame]

He might do an aoe too? I don’t know for sure. Bit of a weird one to fail though. It’s not a very hard stagger check. But sorry, I’m guessing a bit, though I don’t remember it being a raid wipe when it happened to me

[radiant token]

Thanks

[urban topaz]

On gate 1, he fears someone, tp on it after ~3s then start his stagger check after another 2s, and you have to stagger it. If you fail, he does a tiny wipe hit in front of him, it kills the players on item level. If he does it a second time and you miss the stagger check again, that's a party wipe

And he will keep doing it as long as you don't end the battle. If you miss 2 staggers everyone dies

The stagger check is not really high tbh, you can do it with 3 people, just need to stagger and not continue random dps at this moment. Having whirlwind is even better.

If you 8 and you fail the stagger check, means no one actually tried to stagger

[floral hearth]

guys do you know why i am not getting legendary runes from my stronghold merchants? i have borza for ex but she only sells rare focus rune, is there some merchant upgrade that i am missing to see leg rune?

[ancient lark]

rng

merchant stock is randomly generated every time they visit

[floral hearth]

thank you

[torpid obsidian]

where can i submit bugs? I cannot hone on my t1 alt

[pseudo atlas]

what does it show when you try

[weak gate]

Guys what do I do to progress my characters strength outside of the standard argos and abyss stuff? Just hit 1385 on my main but after I do all the weekly stuff I’m kinda lost.

[radiant flame]

You just keep going. Next is 1400 for p3 Argos, then 1415 for your first legion raid Valtan, 1430 for vykas and so on

Most people have alts who do all the content too

And funnel materials to a main in order to increase the rate of mat gain

[weak gate]

Yeah but for example I finished all argos and my abyss stuff for my main and alt, finished the weekly una task and did some stronghold stuff. I sat around for 3-4 days not knowing what else to do.

[radiant flame]

How many alts do you have?

[weak gate]

I have a couple, but only 2 other alts that are in tier 3 that I care for

[snow token]

6

[pseudo atlas]

you basically just do dailies or horizontal content like collectibles

or 1time/limited rewards like chaos line

[tulip prawn]

what happens if i hav exceeded the moral of the pet

[radiant flame]

So I mean, you have a roster of 6 that can get gold, so you can just make more alts.

Preferably ones you actually want to play?

[snow token]

Nothing just put it in ranch

[tulip prawn]

i meant in reverse

[pseudo atlas]

"make more alts" is pretty much how to progress the main faster, since a lot of stuff is time locked

[radiant flame]

Unfortunately the game is designed in a way that especially in T3, you kind of need a bunch of alts if you want to progress quickly. Or you can swipe.

[snow token]

Wait what

[tulip prawn]

[weak gate]

I really hate most of the classes in the game currently and I get really demotivated when I see that I need to push my bard from tier 2 to tier 3. Especially since very few people are doing tier 2 stuff rn anyway

[tulip prawn]

according to the game max morale is 144000

so I can pump morale into this thing and it will produce cookies until it runs out?

[radiant flame]

If you hate other classes just make an alt of the same class as your main

[pseudo atlas]

there's also the option of making another character of the class you actually like to play

[snow token]

Well shit least you know if you can’t log in for a few days you’ll have a lot of moral overgrowth

[tulip prawn]

true, if I can have them produce cookies nearly 24/7 I'll get that hoodie fast

[snow token]

Good luck

[tulip prawn]

Would take me 10 days max if I rotate with other pets

as long as I farm rapport and exchange for vitamin...

[weak gate]

My main isn’t gated right now by mats at all. I’m sitting on so much. But I’m starved for gold even after doing all the una stuff and argos

[radiant flame]

Then sell unbound mats

I mean, I use “mats” to mean gold as well as actual honing materials. Gold is just a resource like leapstones, as they’re all interchangeable to a degree

As I said, the game lets you have 6 alts who earn gold rewards from weekly content. For someone with 6 characters at 1460, they are making close to 70k in raw gold rewards alone

[weak gate]

A week??

[pseudo atlas]

yeah

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/453163801475284993/1013462113848655993/unknown.png

[weak gate]

Holy shit. But I guess honing costs a shit ton too the.

[last imp]

yeah thats avg for an endgame roster. thats why we make alts

[pseudo atlas]

rough gold from only weekly content in that image

of course the honing cost goes up but you will eventually recoup the cost and then make profit after

[radiant flame]

Yes of course. But yeah. This is the world we live in. I think it’s questionable design. But if you have the time to play (and it sounds like you do) then making more alts is always profitable

[last imp]

yeah honing is one time. income is forever

[radiant flame]

Even after the main 6, you will still be making unbound mats from the rest of your roster

[pseudo atlas]

it does take a while to recoup though, i guess you could use the image to estimate how long

and it does not include the unbound mats you can sell, which is quite a lot

there's also another image in #info-dump that has average unbound mats per day for chaos dungeon/guardian raids

[radiant flame]

Anyway, there is also horizontal content as someone said above - easier to do early on when you’re not spending your whole week raiding like some of us

[weak gate]

Well I guess I better get to it then with the alts. I’m sitting around on my main doing nothing anyway

[pseudo atlas]

just don't burn out doing stuff you don't want to, really

it is kinda slow to progress

[radiant flame]

I mean, do think about how you’re enjoying the game generally too before you commit to avoid burnout. I’m a bit concerned if you think all the classes are boring

[pseudo atlas]

also arcanist takes a lot of investment to do decent damage i hear, so that can feel annoying

[radiant flame]

Assuming from your flair that you do main Arcanist…I’m very confused because I think Arcanist is incredibly unintuitive compared to almost every other class (big props to actual Arcanist mains)

[weak gate]

Arcanist is the 2nd alt I love, even more than my main currently

[pseudo atlas]

yeah i like how arcanist plays but i half assed the investment and am not actually good at it so the damage output suffers quite a lot

[weak gate]

Yeah that’s the only reason I’m not investing everything into her. Takes a while before she gives a return x-x

[radiant flame]

But yeah, have a feel. Just keep making more Arcanists if you think it’s the way to go. Tldr though: you need alts (or swiping) to progress fast

[pseudo atlas]

i also play on controller and arcanist really suffers from that

at least i feel it does

[weak gate]

You play LA on controller..?

[pseudo atlas]

yep

one of the 5 people in the world that does

[weak gate]

At least that’s more people than those who have a 1460 arcanist

[pseudo atlas]

i could go on forever about the dumb decisions they made for controller but one of the skills on arcanist (call of destiny) is aimed at the mouse location, and on controller they just made it attack right in front of you so arcanist becomes a melee class

[tulip prawn]

where do i find this

[pliant pivot]

play song of valor 150 times

[tulip prawn]

for real bro

[tulip prawn]

which section do i find it

[pliant pivot]

adventure > normal

[tulip prawn]

thank you

I think I know what I'm going to do today

[pliant pivot]

set up a macro

[dusk veldt]

[rain meadow]

or just rapport npcs over the course of a few months

[tulip prawn]

music is limited, can't wait until elgacia to get kayangel music in my stronghold

[wet gyro]

should i be buying raid chests (argos/valtan/vykas) on 1430 alts? i do buy the argos p3 chest for the GHL on 1430 alts and main…

[pliant pivot]

i buy the last chest for the fused leaps

[fervent whale]

also depends how long you're gonna leave them at 1430. Eventually you want the mats for relic set

argos p3 chest is up to you if you want the extra leaps from argos blood and gambling on accessories. I don't buy the argos box, personally

[dusk veldt]

i'd recommend buying just the last box on legion raids so valtan g2 and vykas g3
fused leapies are juicy

[wet gyro]

main and alt?

[dusk veldt]

That's what i do ye

[pseudo atlas]

argos p3 is okay value on leaps, it's definitely better than market price but if you weren't going to buy or use unbound leaps anyway it's kind of a waste

[wet gyro]

i stopped buying the valtan/vykas chest on main cause i been having full set and wanted the max raw gold for Grudge books

[pseudo atlas]

final gate box for each has 6/12 (nm/hm) fused in the final box which can be high value but rng

[wet gyro]

i hit 110k and slowly buying the legendary grudge books

[pseudo atlas]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VvGOZXOWv0mD9KkZLGHNxFylv5vzmE4lGqGz50HT6M4/edit#gid=1299188745

[radiant flame]

I would buy for both main and alt yes. Fused leaps are really good for alts because you’re not pushing fast anyway. On main the recommendation is to save fused leaps for conversion to brelshaza fused leaps for free hones on the higher tier gear

[pliant pivot]

you should still buy the last chest on main for the fused leaps

[wet gyro]

ah gotcha. i griefed myself, i always use the fused leapstone LOL

[radiant flame]

I think it’s not a huge deal. It’s RNG anyway

[wet gyro]

and have not bought the chest on main for awhile

my main mindset was trying to get gold for grudge books

[maiden locust]

not a big deal if you used them

[wet gyro]

pocketing ALL raw gold

[pseudo atlas]

you have to hone to brel gear before you can trade fused for better value anyway

what use is there in hoarded mats that you never use

[wet gyro]

but if that is the case, i will always buy the legion/argos raids last chest on main and alt

[radiant flame]

I would check Argos. I think the Argos chest has not been worth it for a while

[pliant pivot]

they are still worth getting

[radiant flame]

Oh? Fair enough. I stand corrected

[wet gyro]

is there a way to get more gold that i’m not seeing? i really need legendary grudge for universal engravings

[pseudo atlas]

time + more alts

or hit the lottery at blooming mokoko several times in a row

[radiant flame]

Some horizontal as well for immediate gold - masterpieces and rapport have gold rewards

[wet gyro]

have not stepped foot onto new event

[fervent whale]

apart from raids and gold islands, selling mats, gems, or lucky accessory drops, or bussing

[pseudo atlas]

that is a big mistake

[wet gyro]

i know 🤡

will do it this week…

[pseudo atlas]

time investment is fairly low for a chance at 5k+ gold

[pliant pivot]

about 9 from box, you get about 2 gleaps each, assuming gleaps cost 30 gold it's 690 gold from gleaps alone

[pseudo atlas]

most likely you will get like 0-50 gold though, once a day per roster

[radiant flame]

Yeah sure. But gleaps have been at 20-22 on EUC for a while!

[cloud pendant]

Is it worth investing in relic accessories now given clown is out soon?

[radiant flame]

Quite simply - yes

[wet gyro]

my mindset is once i get my leg grudge, i can finally build my Wardancer main. yes, i know i can buy the cheaper WD legendary books but having the grudge helps with all my characters

[pliant pivot]

483 from gleaps not counting the value of guardian and destruction stones

[pseudo atlas]

it's still a bit of a gamble, since leg grudge can still go up or down depending on the market, though once you do get it you open up a lot of options
