[snow wadi]

I just geared 5 alts

[flat dagger]

All spent on gearing my alts for HM raids

But it means I can potentially use the extra gold on tripods yes.

[fair mantle]

And getting most tripods a level up gives more damage than a higher level gem on that skill, you're basically getting an upgraded gem for 1k gold, not many ppl realise the worth of these tripods

[flat dagger]

I do see the value of it, but I also don't see the pure need for them right now, at least not until closer to the update.

[thick ermine]

I see, sounds good, I actually like the gameplay too so once I get to 1415 with my dps I will focus a bit more on the supps for a bit

[fair mantle]

Because they'll ramp up exponentially near the update which will leave the market with 1/0 tradeable pieces making it impossible to resell so you'll incurr more gold costs, but upto you

[meager portal]

Cursed Doll doesn't affect the HP reversal mech in clown right?

[copper crest]

Will there be new Ability stones with Brel? 1415+ ?

[junior hornet]

ye ancient ones but i think u can converft relic onces to ancient rarity

[flat dagger]

It shouldn't affect it, it's not really a healing effect but rather inverse HP.

[rigid plank]

Ancient stones only arrive when Elgacia is added, you upgrade existing relic stones into ancient ones with 3 or 4 tiers just for more health

[flat dagger]

So unfaceted ancient stones don't exist?

[rigid plank]

No

[fair mantle]

It costs like 100k gold to upgrade a relic to ancient high level tho iirc

[rigid plank]

first level of ancient is somewhere around 1k and it progressively gets more expensive, i forgot the exact values

[flat dagger]

Has anyone done the math to calculate the % chance to get at least 16 positive nodes on a relic stone? Excluding 8/8 since that doesn't really work out.

[fair mantle]

7/7 is 5% not sure about a 9/7

[flat dagger]

After getting a 7/8/3 stone, I really would like 7/9/x for a 5x3+1 setup that I have ready.

[rigid plank]

Every lvl of upgrade for the stone is about 6k each, last lvl is 24k, i just looked

[maiden locust]

Can somebody tell in short what will be this new tripod feature?

[flat dagger]

Tripods on gear removed, tripods learned like books.

You pick 18x tripods and the level you have, just like the perks themselve.

It won't be 100% to learn the tripod levels, but the chance will be 2x compared to now.

[outer mason]

9/7 is 0.07%

[radiant flame]

9/7 is around 0.5%

[fair mantle]

Must be 0.7 not 0.07

[maiden locust]

And for every tripod what is in my inventory i will get "book"?

[radiant flame]

I don’t think it’s that low

[flat dagger]

No, automatically learned. If they are in the tripod inventory.

[outer mason]

Based off https://lostark.meta-game.gg/ability-stone-calculator it's 0.07%

[fair mantle]

Don't trust that a single bit

It has contributed to my 4/3/9 stones

[maiden locust]

Thank you! And it will be roster bound or character bound?

[flat dagger]

Character.

[flat dagger]

I cut my 7/8/3 stone with it, it's all RNG in the end.

[radiant flame]

Oh I stand corrected. It is that low

[fair mantle]

Lmao that means 9/7 is rarer than a 100 quality weapon

[flat dagger]

If you fail 5x 75% in a row, you'd do that with or without the website.

[radiant flame]

I think it’s slightly higher because you can get 10/6

But 10/6 is harder anyway

[fair mantle]

Yeah prob

[sick current]

whats the best way to use bifrost teleports?

[flat dagger]

For whatever you need them, I personally use them all for Una's tasks, used to use for wandering merchants too.

[rose jewel]

daily una's, card hunting

[sweet geyser]

what's the cheapest source of hp pots? mari's or crafting?

[junior hornet]

everything that u do daily that's in other continents , anguished isle if u dont have the stella's star and daily una's to get leapostones, also field osses and chaos gates

[fair mantle]

Crafting from stronghold farm is the cheapest for purple pots, for Mari and buying mats from market you can calculate according to your region prices, though we do get a lot for free

[sick current]

how can I equip 2 engraving effects from the gear menu at the same time?

[buoyant herald]

same way you would equip just 1 🤔

[sick current]

it doesnt let me tho

[buoyant herald]

yes it does you drag it in from the engraving menu thing

[sick current]

oh I see

[tropic nymph]

hi, anyone having blue wealth on their stronghold?

[snow wadi]

should ask your region chat

[gleaming merlin]

I am not getting any gold from Abyssal Dungeon and Abyss Raid on my alts
Is this a bug?

[rose jewel]

over leveled

[gleaming merlin]

my alts are gs 1370

[rose jewel]

7th alt, not a gold earner

many reasons

what dungeon are you trying to do, how many characters do you have in total

[gleaming merlin]

i think i got the issue
assigned other chars to earn gold and cleared it with different alts

[rose jewel]

figured

[hushed sleet]

is it ok for me to have 3x3 on alt at 1415? thinking of pushing my 7-9th alt since there are lots of leapstones on them

mainly for deska only

[rain meadow]

3x3 should be fine

[wintry breach]

got a scrapper & a deadeye, which should I invest on first ? (I enjoy both almost equally)

& which of them would be easier to dps with, etc

i know both are ass chasers

[blazing citrus]

whats the method to get to 1415 the fastest? I'm using the event boost on my scouter and forgot like the + upgrades

[radiant flame]

I think there is a general consensus that deadeye is hard to play well. You are switching stances a lot as well and managing more skills. Scrapper is very easy, especially tai. For learning new content scrapper will for sure do better

[radiant flame]

With the event just hone everything evenly. What ilvl are you now?

[wintry breach]

all +15 is way cheaper since honing buff

[lusty sandal]

Is it possible to do the first two abyssal dungeons with one high gear playing helping or no?

[wintry breach]

alright ty

[blazing citrus]

thx,im at 1370

[radiant flame]

With legendary gear?

[lusty sandal]

Like just myself and one high gear pretty much.

[radiant flame]

Which abyssals

[blazing citrus]

yeah

[radiant flame]

The literal first two? North vern

[lusty sandal]

Literal first two from shushire

[radiant flame]

Yeah hone everything evenly to 15

[radiant flame]

Demon beast etc? Yes a high ilvl character will just burst through everything

[lusty sandal]

Yes those.

[radiant flame]

But you need 4 people to start

[lusty sandal]

Oh

[radiant flame]

If it’s you and a friend, you can just MM these days

Plenty of people running for cards to help carry

[shrewd shell]

Lf guild where need i massage??

[radiant flame]

Or party finder, though party finder usually finds people at least at T2 so they can do all the first 6

[fair mantle]

Guild recruitment channel

[rose jewel]

#navigation region role

[rain meadow]

You need a region role

[shrewd shell]

I see now thx

[copper crest]

Where is Legendary Quick recharge from? When do we get it?

[rain meadow]

If its in the game, its in the codex, alt+d

[copper crest]

It's not that's the point. But I know there is one KR streamers talk about it. But I was hoping someone know its source

[rain meadow]

Idk what to tell you xD

[copper crest]

We get new guardians and stuff so hpefully it's there somewhere

[radiant flame]

Feel like it’s not worth worrying about yet because we don’t have it.

[sand chasm]

no it isnt

[rain meadow]

We dont get any new runes from guardians until the new tree guardian with akkan, and it drops another legendary galewind

[sand chasm]

what is even a quick recharge rune

[rain meadow]

Chance to reduce all skill cd when using the skill with the rune equipped

[radiant flame]

QR is fake news anyway. Never works

[sand chasm]

oh i see, i will check if hardmode tower has it, since the purple one drops from tower

[copper crest]

It does work fine with a skill that quick and 2 hits.

[sand chasm]

but i can guarantee you that it doesnt drop from guardians

[cold olive]

how can i earn pirate coin?

[copper crest]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/pirate-coin-and-sea-coin-sources

[radiant flame]

You’ll get a bunch from various islands when you do it first time

In the endgame, most of us just convert sea coins from chests into pirate coins (getting sun coins and converting to pirate coins at ship merchant)

Or at least, that’s how I do it

[flat jacinth]

hello Which is the best gold-earning farm?

[flat dagger]

All weekly content and adventure islands, then you have chaos gates somewhat daily.

[cold olive]

thank you, sir

[flat jacinth]

How do you use your life energy?

[flat dagger]

Press B, do activities with those skills.

[flat jacinth]

I think I'm asking the question wrong

[flat dagger]

As in how I personally use my life energy?

[flat jacinth]

Which of the jobs such as rabbit hunting, collecting flowers, cutting trees is more profitable?

[flat dagger]

Flowers & mushrooms, by miles.

Everyone needs potions and consumables for raids, so the price for materials to make those are quite high.

[flat jacinth]

Should I make bombs and potions?

[brazen leaf]

What is the best way to get these?

[flat dagger]

Not doing farm materials at all

That's not even a joke.

[flat jacinth]

thank you sir

[brazen leaf]

?

[fair mantle]

Bombs probably not, we get like hundreds for free already, potions you might need since those are used more often

[flat dagger]

You want fusion materials, do regular excavation in the world.

You get more xp, more materials and won't ever have that issue.

[flat jacinth]

everyone has the right bomb 😄

[flat jacinth]

thank you

[flat dagger]

@brazen leaf This is how it looks for me, doing normal excavation.

[brazen leaf]

Doesn't answer the question but k

[flat dagger]

You can't increase your normal quality material amount in any way, that's why farm is bad.

The ratios are completely wack.

[wintry breach]

eehh the ratios being wack won't remove the fact that welp spending any life energy is better than none lmaooo

[flat dagger]

True, but it's also worse than normal excavation.

Excavation is also very energy draining.

[brazen leaf]

Doing 16 char is more than enough for me, don't need this trade skills really

[flat dagger]

16?!

[rain meadow]

Aggressive

[brazen leaf]

Yes, so I don't mind it being worst than 'normal excavation'

[flat dagger]

I wouldn't either at 16 characters...

[summer roost]

Where can I find the arkpass?

[flat dagger]

There is none currently.

[summer roost]

Did they disable it?

[flat dagger]

?

[brazen leaf]

Its currently lost

Hence lost ark (pass)

[sick current]

hey so ah I accidently tried to claim an event quest chest with a full inventory and now I cant find it anywhere

[inner wing]

On the ground?, In your mailbox?

[limpid obsidian]

It's only active at certain times. Like the last one was during summer for 2-3 months. And we haven't gotten a new one since.
We'll get one in a month or so tho

[summer roost]

Ah kk, thanks!

[sick current]

its in the mailbox thank god

ty

[quasi glade]

Are the potions from the 5 world leaves reward auto consumed?

[flat dagger]

No.

You've got to go claim them just like all other collectibles.

[inner wing]

And use them

[flat dagger]

Does dealing more damage to Thunderwings give you a higher chance of receiving the Bleed rune? Or is it the same chance no matter what, as long as you're eligible for the Stone of Chaos?

[lethal cape]

Can someone tell me which power pass I should choose? Vern, Rohendel, York, Feiton, or Punika?

[radiant flame]

Same chance. You don’t need to be eligible either for stone , I don’t think

As long as you can get drops period.

I think I got bleed from moake at like min ilvl for drops

[flat dagger]

I've done so many Moake and Thunderwings, yet nothing...

It's been like 4 months at this point, every single time I've killed one.

[radiant flame]

/shrug unlucky 😦

At least it’s useless bleed rather than being stuck on omnium

Unless that applies to you too…

[flat dagger]

Yea, thankfully I got that after maybe 3 weeks or so.

[radiant flame]

I mean, punika

It gets you the furthest. Though if you’re buying it costs more

[high stone]

10x Kohinorr kills and still no Pink mushroom how freaking low is this drop rate?

[radiant flame]

It also stops you being t3 gated by unlucky chaos dungeon drops…..

[flat dagger]

50/50, you either get it or you don't.

I got it on my 3rd kill there.

[high stone]

Pff really sad, I really miss running Thunderwings 😦

[lethal cape]

Okay. Thank you. Just wanted to be able to get caught up to everyone else as much as possible.

[high stone]

Ay very lucky imo congratz

[radiant flame]

Then punika for sure

[radiant flame]

Thunderwings is too much value IMO, with stone of chaos. I already felt like I was inting trying to get brealos for soul and missing moake

[knotty galleon]

when will this game ever come to sea

[flat dagger]

Huh? It's a Korean game

[high stone]

True, but the thing is it's my last RNG item in all adventure tomes, so I really want to get it over with 😦

[radiant flame]

The pain of completion! Good luck. I’m about 60 chests into yorn meat. No luck there

[flat dagger]

I got my food at 94x chests.

[radiant flame]

I think I’ve just accepted i will never complete feiton or yorn

Hopefully there isn’t anything important for higher ignea tokens beyond 11…

[flat dagger]

I don't get it, Feiton is not bad to complete at all. Yorn you've got to get lucky with the Una's Task Food Chest, but otherwise fine to do.

[high stone]

Thank you very much, it took me a month, with using rested dailies on all my chars 6x, I really hope you get it soon gl 😦

[flat dagger]

That's coming from someone with this adventure's tome completion.

[radiant flame]

Er, farming eels felt kind of awful

Idk. I don’t have time for that

[flat dagger]

They improved the chance for rare quality though.

[radiant flame]

Oh did they?

[high stone]

Ayyy nice, I am currently on my 8 but rapports are tough >.<

[radiant flame]

Punika cooking is supposedly “bad” but feiton looked way more time consuming

[high stone]

Yeah Feiton was easy imo

[radiant flame]

Maybe I’ll have a look again

[flat dagger]

I did however complete them before they got changed

[high stone]

I mean easy because I'll probably got lucky there same with the other stuffs except this freaking boss drop xD

[radiant flame]

Yeah, always one thing

Chaos line star seems like mine.

Really want the legendary protection too …

[thick ermine]

cant do anything that chaos and raid atm as I am travelling, might look to buy some oreha hard if that is a thing ?

[vast oriole]

Usually the oreha busses is only "no bid on books", no pay

[thick ermine]

(work laptop too laggy for stuff that requires moving properly ...)

ok so we dont bid on books and its free run ?

[trail hawk]

ehm... if you have problems with aira and oreha... wonder how youll do raids later....

[vast oriole]

Yes

U can see in the party finder, people carry them

[thick ermine]

Might have misread my message, I am travelling and I am playing on a work laptop.

I cannot play anything that requires skills as the laptop is too laggy.

[flat dagger]

I absolutely sucked at Oreha's Well when I first started playing this game as Gunslinger, now I do HM Legion Raids without potions and Clown raid clears. I had more learning time though, since I had no growth benefits to reach 1415 etc though. The point is that people learn and grow to become better at the game.

[high stone]

Oooh yeah, I don't have the Moake star gave up on that because that one was too bad for me aswell, but I have my skill points from it so I'm okey with it

[flat dagger]

The problem is people being expressed into high level content while being pepegas at the game, ruining the fun for others and themselves.

[thick ermine]

I will just be missing this week clearance and I dont want to waste that

[long elk]

can I buy a berserk gem and change the effect into sorceress?

[flat dagger]

@thick ermine Usually you can get a free Oreha's Well carry.

[thick ermine]

Yeah just realised so I will try to join a group 🙂

Also I need to reset my role on this discord, how do we do that without leaving/joining again? I have old roles from before western release

[flat dagger]

#navigation - Select the role you have already, to remove it.

If it somehow doesn't have your role there, ask a mod to fix it.

[high stone]

If I block someone do they get in the same lobby if I matchmake?

[lethal knot]

so i got 3/4 chosen geer from Well, but i can also craft 2 argos gear, does it even matter if i complete the set, cause i got 3 Chosen gear at +15 already.

TLDR, should i complete a set or it doesnt matter and just rush to 1414 gear?

[flat dagger]

You never go for Chosen set bonus, it's always Preordained or Harsh Oath 5-set.

You'll keep that set until 1445 & you have enough relic materials for 4-set relic.

[lethal knot]

oh right, :/

apart from the 5 set bonus, should i just continue to max them to get the next stage gear?

[flat dagger]

You'll hone your legendary/relic gear all the way to +18 minimum.

They both share the same item level, so you just transfer over when you get relic pieces.

Once Brelshaza items come out though, then you get a similar item level reset like going T3 Epic -> Legendary.

But that's at 1490+.

[lethal knot]

hmm, my gear gets replaced at 1440?

[foggy cape]

There is a website that helps you plan your ship crew, shows resistance etc.

What's it called?

[flat dagger]

At 1445, you get access to making relic armor and weapon. You transfer 1:1 from Legendary, so just keep honing legendary.

[lethal knot]

oh sweet, i thought i made quite a mistake and should rehone gear 😮

thats a relief

thank you for the help!

[flat dagger]

To even get to 1445, you'd still need to hone your items now

[peak glade]

Does our version have 1460 stronghold honing buff?

So better rush 1460 before honing 1370+ right?

[thin token]

yea

[peak glade]

Tyvm

[flat dagger]

With the global honing buffs going to 1415, it might not matter as much as before, but kinda.

[thin token]

all % will help lol, save u from malding

[flat dagger]

Of course, but not as much as before.

[thick ermine]

is oreha chest worth it at the end ?

[flat dagger]

For what exactly?

[thick ermine]

maybe to get enough empyrean for crafting ?

it is 900 gold a bit steep

[flat dagger]

As long as you get enough for 2x Chosen pieces, you can get full legendary in a single week, assuming you bus P3 Argos.

Chosen Weapon + Armor
3x Argos

[thick ermine]

how much is a chosen pieces in terms of mats?

[flat dagger]

15 weapon - 10 armor

[foggy cape]

There is a website that helps you plan your ship crew, shows resistance etc. Does anybody know what it's called?

[thick ermine]

ok awesome thank you 🙂

[flat dagger]

Argos pieces are 20 weapon - 12 armor.

@thick ermine You just need to 1st time clear both Oreha's Well parts and you get 35 materials (buying 2x chest), that's enough for weapon + 2x armor piece.
Then you get 40x Argos's Blood from a P3 bus (First clear + chest) for 3x armor.

[low trail]

thats not 6 pieces tho

[native fractal]

Yup, it's not possible to swap to a full legendary set within one week, one piece will be missing

[lethal knot]

what do you all recommend me to do?

[flat dagger]

It is.

[low trail]

for full legendary you need to buy both chests and argos chest

[radiant flame]

It is

[flat dagger]

Yea, I fixed it. 2x Oreha's Well chests + P3 Argos Bus & chest.

[native fractal]

2 from Oreha, 3 from Argos

[lethal knot]

oh sweet

[flat dagger]

You need 35 materials for 1x weapon & 2x armor chosen, which is Oreha's Well 2x chest and first clear.
Then 36 Argos's Blood from Argos for 3x armor, which is P3 bus + chest.

[native fractal]

my bad, forgot about the first clear reward for Oreha ^^

[lethal knot]

i can craft a 3rd argos gear

[thick ermine]

we dont care about mixing sets right now right just need to hone them to get higher ilvl

[lethal knot]

i got chosen weapon and 2 armour at +15

[peak glade]

What is most convenient honing combo to hit 1470?

[native fractal]

Optimum is 5x Argos armor anyway, right?

[flat dagger]

Correct.

[thick ermine]

3 argos and 2 chosen is ok ? :L

[flat dagger]

For pure honing, sure, but not for damage no.

[lethal knot]

ah sweet

[thin token]

if u mean 1472.5 to keep argos gold then just +19 everything except weapon

[lethal knot]

thanks for the help guys

[thick ermine]

yes the goal is strictly to hone anyway as I will be replacing it later

That was my understanding

[peak glade]

When I rushed to 1415 there was a super cool image that shoed me the 17 17 etc instead of +15 everything.
Should I max +19 everything, except weapon, this time?

[cloud pendant]

Guys. What’s the difference in damage between Argos set and relic set?

[thick ermine]

anyway I can always start honing chosen and then transfer later when I have enough argos blood

[thin token]

yes 1415 & 1430 are the only "cheese" options. Everything moving forward is you just hone everything evenly

[peak glade]

Oki thanks!!

[thin token]

everything at +19 will get u 1475 (clown raid) so if u dont want to lose argos gold then keep weapon at +18.

[low trail]

1415 not even anymore

[flat dagger]

Yea, there's no cheese anymore after the honing buffs up to 1415.

[thick ermine]

so from 1385, honing with books it is right? Unlocking stronghold buff before is recommended ? ( +20%)?

[flat dagger]

You don't use +20% books until you try for +14/15.

[thick ermine]

The books are +10% no ? There are +20% books aroud ?

(I was talking about the Tier 3 honing buff from stronghold, that I need to unlock asap - so on my way to cut woods)

[flat dagger]

I thought you meant the +20% books, you always use +10% books

[thick ermine]

ok good good I thought I was doing something wrong kek

[flat dagger]

It's stupid cheap to use the legendary books now, so you always use them.

[thin token]

if u mean those books from the event guardian shop i would not use those until 17 > 18

not 14 > 15

[thick ermine]

I used them because we need to use them before 26th of October

oh well it won't be perfect

[thin token]

dam lol, couldnt maybe make it to +16 / 17 before then?

actually nvm if u are new then would probably take long to get there

[thick ermine]

I am new, as you can see from my questions :p

[thin token]

I used mine for +17 > 18 and it came in super clutch yesterday

[thick ermine]

I will probably enjoy the next 2 weekly allocations but for this one (I only started on Friday last week for good)

[flat dagger]

@thick ermine The event guardian books aren't the same as the ones from the last hyper express event.

[thick ermine]

Ok I have not used the express event books just yet, should I ?

[flat dagger]

They are for 16-18.

[thick ermine]

Ok cool, so I will stack them up 🙂

[quasi glade]

Does anyone know if amethyst shards are just added to their total sum after server merge?

[flat dagger]

Is there no mention of them in the merge post that they made?

Crystal, Gold, Silver, Pheons, Phoenix Plumes, Pirate Coins, Coin of Courage, Providence Stones, Gienah's Coin, Septrum's Coin, Arcturus's Coin, Ancient Coin, and Sun Coin will all be combined across servers to grant the player the sum of their values. For example, if you have 1,000 gold on Server A and 500 gold on Server B, following the merge you will have 1,500 gold available.

It does however not mention inventory items.

[cloud pendant]

Question about vykas runs. What is the typical positioning in gate 1? Is it x3-2?

[flat dagger]

Huh?

[cloud pendant]

The positioning during gate 1

[flat dagger]

It's like Oreha's well spots.

[cloud pendant]

When I join pug they put in chat x3-2

Is it x3-2?

[flat dagger]

I've done lots of NM and HM Vykas runs, no idea what that means.

Normally you have each person in the party take a spot in the circle before G1, just like for Albion's stars mechanic.

[cloud pendant]

Oh maybe I’ve got it wrong

So what’s the code word then?

[flat dagger]

No idea what x3-2 means.

[cloud pendant]

How do I know the position I’m in based on my party number?

[flat dagger]

.

[cloud pendant]

They said x3-2 is based on party number

My party number x3-2

[flat dagger]

And your number is?

[cloud pendant]

Let’s say I’m 4

[flat dagger]

4x3-2

[cloud pendant]

Yes that’s what I want to confirm

[flat dagger]

You're 11 O'clock.

[cloud pendant]

What about gate 2?

[flat dagger]

That's a neat way to do it 🤔

[flat dagger]

G2 you have to assign 5/7/11 - 1/2/Flex, and stand on wing/orb spot in the circle before G2.

[cloud pendant]

So everyone just stand on circle to determine position before g2 starts?

[flat dagger]

Yes.

[cloud pendant]

No code word like x3-2?

[quasi glade]

They mention so much but not amethysts as far as I can tell, right?

[flat dagger]

No, physical spots for orbs + spotting wings. Callout 5-1 as an example, for incoming orb eats.

[flat dagger]

Correct.

They don't mention anything in the roster inventory at all.

[flint night]

If I'm using Hit Master does dmg% apply only when I use non directional abilities when standing on side of the boss? Or does it work for all abilities that don't have back/front modifiers in their description and it doesnt have anything to do with my positioning?

[pallid willow]

Guys anyone know how much xp I need to skip thairain rapport? I need his card

[quasi glade]

The latter

[ancient lark]

check maxroll

[flat dagger]

Check Papunika's rapport page.
https://papunika.com/affinity/

[radiant flame]

You also can’t do it from neutral

Or not really. You’d be needing a lot of relics

[flat dagger]

Hit Master only affects skills without any modifier text in it, but also works on skills which have their front/back attack removed from perks.

[radiant flame]

Oh maybe you can with 6 lol

[sonic mountain]

At what ilvl do you lose oreha gold

[sonic mountain]

O

Aight gonna park my main for a while ig

[flat dagger]

Why?

[radiant flame]

The “big” rapports are 72k total, I think

[flat dagger]

@sonic mountain There is no reason to "park" your main at all, not until you're 1490.

[radiant flame]

Only a couple are just over 100k like nineveh, excluding the ones with affection

[thick ermine]

Ok I am 1400 so far, progressing well

[flat dagger]

Just make sure that Hard Oreha's Well is done this week, you don't get gold from it anymore after 1415.

[thick ermine]

To reach 1415 it will take a lot of books it seems !

[thick ermine]

did both run on my main yes

Now I just need to farm for books but honing rate will be well below 40% it is normal right? until 1415 where we can start applying +20% books?

[flat dagger]

There is no +20% books unless the hyper express ones are still around, but they are for +15 maximum.

As for those 16-18 books, you only get a total of 15x armor and 3x weapon.

[stray dragon]

is the powerpass still inactive?

[flat dagger]

From a while back you mean?

[stray dragon]

yeah i quit for a lil

[flat dagger]

They are available to use now yea.

[stray dragon]

okay bet thank you

[foggy cape]

There is a website that helps you plan your ship crew, shows resistance etc. Does anybody know what it's called?

[flat dagger]

All I know of.
https://www.invenglobal.com/lostark/sailors

[thick ermine]

ok so onwards we also use solar stuff right?

[flat dagger]

Only Solar on 17+ weapon onwards, nothing on armor. Use books when 17/18.

[crisp surge]

Hi guys, noob here, how do I know which piece of gear to select when I am 1335 and I started looting epic gear? I have many parts of each piece which different spell points each time, I don't want to spend mats on wrong pieces of gear...
Thank you!

[flat dagger]

Those are tripods (skill perk upgrades), you can transfer them from piece to piece, so don't worry about picking the "wrong" one. Check a guide to set up your favorited skill perk upgrades.

[crisp surge]

oh ok i see! thank you:)

[flat dagger]

Check the Training Area for info about the system.

[copper crest]

So it's only going to be 3 of the 6 accessory slots that can have +6 ?

[turbid cobalt]

Can i keep the powerpass that we received for reaper?

[radiant flame]

Eh? Neck, earring and rings can all have +6 at ancient level

[granite hull]

When is the Ark Pass 2 going to be released? By the end of October?

[radiant flame]

Bracelet doesn’t give engravings, just stats and another effect iirc

[radiant flame]

Unlikely. It expires end of this month? Though you might be able to make an assassin character and powerpass it in the select page and leave it until reaper arrives. I’m not sure

[radiant flame]

It says October, so probably towards the end of the month.

[copper crest]

Ah I see, looking at the streams it looked like it was only 3. But I guess you only need 3 really to make it a +3 for engraving. The other points would be waste?

[turbid cobalt]

Did they remove powerpasses from shop?

[copper crest]

They did long ago but they also said the enabled it again....

[radiant flame]

What do you mean a waste?

If you had the optimal 9/7 stone, you will need all your accessories at 6/3 in order to have the BIS 5x3 + 2 engraving setup

[tough spoke]

Power passes are sold/used at the char selection screen, not in the shop

[turbid cobalt]

oki thx

[grand wind]

guys i finished argos set, im at 1415 gs what is the next step for me? what is the difference between valtan vs vykas? who is much easier

[flat dagger]

Vykas is 1430 first off, Vykas has a lot more mechanics that wipe, Valtan has pushes that one-hit you.

[blazing badger]

they're two different raids; valtan starts at 1415, vykas at 1430. your next step is to farm valtan and vykas to get gear to buy their relic sets (you can ignore the legendary sets)

[flat dagger]

As for the next step, 1430 is next for NM Vykas, then 1445 to make relic gear and HM Valtan.

[grand wind]

okay, so Valtan it is then, now i have to watch hours of valtan guides LOL

[flat dagger]

[grand wind]

thank you so much guys, i thought both of them are same gs level

[solid flower]

which relic set is best for a support in chaos dungeons

[flat dagger]

Yearning first, then when you unlock convertion then Betrayal.

[solid flower]

thank you

[flat dagger]

Do not be one of the pepegas who pick Betrayal first...

[solid flower]

No worries I have conversion already

[flat dagger]

I'd probably run Salvation myself, since I have preemptive strike with 3x3+2 on my crit DPS setup.

[balmy salmon]

does anyone have tuleu at their stronghold in euc

[trail hawk]

ask in region chat, or in sea chat

[flat dagger]

Ask for specific runes in Area chat in-game or such.

[loud dagger]

Can anyone explain me how to get 4x3 with lvl 2 and +1 class engraving what do i need? Does this need 9/7 stone

[flat dagger]

That's 5x3, no need for 9/7 stone.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/846806833238507530/1000284030580822076/unknown.png

[thin token]

u need like this, i did for my new war dancer

[loud dagger]

[thin token]

if i get adrenaline +12 will be lvl 3

[flat dagger]

But you don't need 12x2.

[loud dagger]

I was looking at striker eso build with kbw ambush cursed doll grudge lvl 3 + adren lvl 2 and esoteric flurry lvl 1

[flat dagger]

You're clearly missing a +3 on the necklace.

I know it's expensive, yes.

[thin token]

i mean its alot easier...

[loud dagger]

[thin token]

well that is just one example there ya go

[flat dagger]

I've got to build around a 6/9 stone I faceted earlier today, 6x Raid and 9x Adrenaline.

[sonic mountain]

@flat dagger since you're a gs main, I wanna ask, is it hard to get used to switching the weapons while playing? I'm thinking of making a gs alt

[flat dagger]

Define "get used to".

Pressing a single button to swap to a difference stance isn't hard in itself, but remembering the attacks, swapping when appropriate and being fluid can take a very long time.

[sonic mountain]

Yeah something like that

[flat dagger]

There's also damage rotations based on boss actions and boss HP, which is another layer on top.

I've got a friend who's a Time to Hunt GS alt, he's got maybe 20 hours of time on that character and still can't do it. I've got about 700+ hours on mine and have no issues.

[sonic mountain]

Do you use the default keys, or the mouse thumb keys to switch the stances?

[flat dagger]

Z and X personally. I use my thumb for them.

[sonic mountain]

Hmm I'll give gs a try then

[flat dagger]

Also, if you don't like squishy characters, don't bother

But mastering Gunslinger is a satisfying experience.

[clear hamlet]

to be able to run a 5x3 u needed 14 total positive pips right ? comboing any way u can ( assuming only 1 legy book)

[sonic mountain]

The gs is a very mobile class right?

[flat dagger]

Yes it is.

[sonic mountain]

Yeah then I'll def give it a try

[flat dagger]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/846806833238507530/1000284030580822076/unknown.png

[radiant flame]

Fwiw- a lot of this (from my experience playing both PM and TTH), is from understanding stance switching pistol skill management

They’re not intrinsically mobile because PM doesn’t run swift and only some TTH players do

[clear hamlet]

im p sure u can get a 5x3 with 10/4 so its maybe incomplete

[flat dagger]

I run 450 swiftness on my Peacemaker GS.

[flat dagger]

You don't get 10/4 on stones.

[sonic mountain]

I thought peacemaker gs runs on crit and swift?

[radiant flame]

Their mobility is purely through a few pistol skills, so you kind of need to get used to knowing how to switch to pistol quickly to use the right skill for the situation

[vapid linden]

what's the best legendary engraving to sell? the one which ppl buy the most? grudge?

[clear hamlet]

a stone has 10 pips doe on a single engrave

[radiant flame]

You get some swift, but not to make a noticeable difference really

Not on movement speed

[flat dagger]

Yes, but chances of that happening are astronomically low.

[clear hamlet]

and ? i only asked if u can do it with only 14 pips or more

also shoudnt be more diff than 7/7

[radiant flame]

Anyway, I switched out of PM because it was too confusing to use different buttons to switch to pistol depending on whether I was shotgun or rifle (for me)

[flat dagger]

10/4 would need +5 and for the other, +5+3+3.

[radiant flame]

Also, one of the biggest problems (objectively) in gs play is that a bunch of skills have heavy animation lock

[flat dagger]

It's doable just the same, but you never see 10/4 stones.

[sonic mountain]

I mean from what I've seen from other gs players, most of the pistol skills are for moving around, while the shotgun and rifle are the damagers

[flat dagger]

Yes, that's how it is.

[radiant flame]

So you have to manage your animation lock from your hard hitting shotgun and tile skills between boss patterns

So yeah - mobility is kind of relative here because in terms of doing damage, it’s not very mobile at all (compared to say, a scrapper where the hits are fast and you don’t have much animation lock, as well as good mobility skills)

[sonic mountain]

I see

[radiant flame]

Once you get down to the nuts and bolts, you don’t even really have many mobility skills you can use for mobility - really just somersault

[flat dagger]

GS has a lot of movement, but big damage skills are static.

[flat dagger]

You have 3 actually, counter, rapid fire and summersault. Dexterous shot too (with perk).

[radiant flame]

Peacekeeper - normally save for counters. Other pistol dash (forget the name) is for proccing your ms/as buff. Dexterous - normally use on cd to keep crit buff. Bullet rain - DPS skill.

The only one you do not use of cd is somersault

[flat dagger]

They are all such low cooldown that it doesn't matter, and for crit buff you just need spiral tracker.

[radiant flame]

Spiral is definitely not enough for 100% uptime

[flat dagger]

Yes it is.

I'm a Gunslinger main at 1480, I've used that skill so many times.

It lasts a while when thrown + 6s uptime.

Cooldown is 8s.

[radiant flame]

Maybe. I don’t think it lasts 2 seconds. But yeah you could be right it’s close to 100% from tracker

[flat dagger]

That's also assuming you don't hit your crit synergy with dexterous shot also while dodging.

[radiant flame]

Yep, dexterous is for sure useful that way, but why I mentioned that people do generally use it for the debuff too

[flat dagger]

By the time you need to buff again, you usually need to dodge at the same time. So it does both.

[radiant flame]

Anyway, point is, I think it’s not a good idea to pick gunslinger for mobility, because the fact is that you pretty much need to learn how to do damage on a squishy without moving around to enjoy playing it

It’s a fun class, but not specifically for its mobility skills

[sonic mountain]

Look man, the reason why I was considering gs is because it looks really fun from what I've seen

I'm sure every class has their own ups and downs, so I'll just deal with them like any other

[radiant flame]

Sure it’s fun 🙂 just wanted to nuance the “very mobile” aspect

[slender stump]

Picke gs purely cuz of mobility and have 0 regrets

[sonic mountain]

I mean I alr play an igniter sorc whose mobility is really shit

So it won't be that big of a problem if the gs mobility doesn't turn out like I expect

[radiant flame]

For real, gs feels like igniter sometimes

[flat dagger]

You're in for a ride then.

[radiant flame]

Just with lower numbers 😦

[sonic mountain]

No biggie

[flat dagger]

You're not playing the same game as me then @radiant flame

[slender stump]

Well the lower numbers part is true tho

[radiant flame]

Maybe not. But I’m pretty sure the rifle part in peacemaker reads the same to me about it basically being a disrespect engraving

Honestly I just think PM needs a rework

[flat dagger]

It is, just for 50% HP.

[stray dragon]

do people just solo guardian raids or somthing ?

[flat dagger]

Velganos, yea. Everything else, not really.

[sonic mountain]

Velganos 😔

[stray dragon]

okay i have just been in a thing for like 30 mins now

could be im tier 2 also tho

[flat dagger]

If it's T1 or T2, it's pretty barren apparently.

[wraith basin]

tier 1 and tier 2 guardians you prob gotta solo

[stray dragon]

okay thanks i will go solo now

[thin token]

which one u need, i gotchu since u NA east

[stray dragon]

im trying to do dark legoros but im in azena

[sonic mountain]

Parties are cross server within the region

[thin token]

ok let me finish chaos dungeon

[stray dragon]

oh i didnt know that

[sonic mountain]

Yeah you can party with people as long as they're in the same region as you

[stray dragon]

thats dope tbh and take your time Sofa no need to rush

[thick ermine]

any recommendation on the auto gem fusing tool ? just set it to lvl 7 and dont look at it until later ?

[thin token]

ok, make the lobby ill come

[stray dragon]

um how do i do that XD im sorry pretty new

wait i thiink i got it

[thin token]

Oo ok i can make if u not sure

[stray dragon]

dod you just do create lobby?

[thin token]

i joined u

[sour venture]

Hi guys. I need recommendation for my new alt character. Right now my roster is Shadowhunter(Main 1490), Tai Scrapper(1415), Paladin(1430), Arcanist(1415), Gunlancer(1415), Berserker(1415). What do you guys recommend both fun and probably not very expensive?

[vapid sand]

how close does the plat founder pack mount or ark pass tiger mount space bar compare to cloud mount's space bar?

[sand chasm]

you have to play some weird off-meta class engraving on some classes for it to be cheap

[modern beacon]

Which T1 guardian raids tend to be the most popular? I just leveled a couple of new alts and was planning on using them to send materials to my main. I'd like to wait to use mats on their honing until my main is at the next tier. The guardians take forever to solo and I haven't had much luck recently on the two new alts matchmaking with hours sitting in queue trying to find other things to do on map without success. Am I going about this all wrong? I love the abyss rewards, but I may just end up having to skip the guardian raids on my alts if this is how most T1 guardian raids are like.

[sand chasm]

and even then only your class books will be cheap

[sour venture]

by cheap I don't meant very low I meant like its not like igniter sorceress or something

[sand chasm]

buy a powerpass for all alts and do things in t3 t1 and t2 is dead, if you cant solo and dont have someone to carry you tough luck

[sand chasm]

i dont think there is a cheap class tho

but you can try shit like soulfist or something, maybe wardancer

the unpopular classes, or less popular

or go bard and do clown with 3x3

[modern beacon]

makes sense for T1 and T2 to be dead after game has been out so long - thanks for the explanation. I guess I just figured with so many players there would still be a bunch of new ones on most servers

[sand chasm]

or 4x3 on the bard will get you in any content until abrel hm

[sand chasm]

nope game is not gaining new players

[maiden locust]

does time-stop saves you on valtan ghost grab ?

[dull ravine]

does anyone know if the honing boxes in shop are worth or is it better to just convert rc to skin to gold?

[sour venture]

You can't use when he's about to grab but if he already grabbed someone you can timestop at the yellow cone

[vale elm]

Can you split items while they are in roster storage?

Or do you have to take out into ur actual storage, then split and return?

[sour venture]

Yes with shift left click but you need empty spaces

[vale elm]

oh sweet it worked

[modern beacon]

so would it be better to just do the guardian raids every other day on alts since you get double rewards after missing a day? Then the extra time it takes to solo guardians wouldn't be so bad.

[sand chasm]

perhaps that could be a solution yes

[maiden locust]

thanks

[modern beacon]

could also use my special dispatch missions on one of the alts that takes longer to solo guardians as well. Any other ideas? I don't want to ask someone to carry me for something I do daily often at different times each day, although would this be a reasonable thing to ask my guild for help with? For T3 players these guardians are instakilled anyways.

[sand chasm]

depends on your guild/friends but unless you ask you will never know

[astral root]

Honestly for t1 and t2 if you put a pf up 9/10 times it'll probably get a juicer if you wait (I usually just do life skills)

You can also just do them once you burn rested

[frosty nimbus]

Got a question, I just reached 1415. Do I need to do the South Vern MQ to get the Legion Raid guide quest or do I need to get to a higher ilvl?

[flat dagger]

You need SV done for Legion Raids.

[frosty nimbus]

I see thanks

[vapid sand]

does powder of sage still have a purpose after the tripod rework?

[silver rain]

yes double the learning chance

[modern beacon]

interesting - thanks for the tip. Does pf mean "party find" and is that different than matchmaking?

[vapid sand]

Thanks, do you also know if it's better to save my lvl 3 tripod equips until after the rework? Not sure if my odds will be better before or after

[timber mauve]

Yes, it’s different. You use the Party Finder button.

[trail hawk]

save them at npc

[thin token]

save lvl 4s in tripod inventory library, and just gamble lvl 3s for now

[modern beacon]

Most of the players on there seem to be advertising more than actually doing raids. Should I just create party and wait for people to join instead of using matchmaking or trying to join the advertisers? Thanks for the help - I'm pretty new to the game if you couldn't tell

[timber mauve]

I would advise joining a guild and having them carry you through t1-2 content. Shit’s dead. Trading alt carries and stuff is what a guild is for.

[trail hawk]

who needs a carry in t1, t2 tho, it goes pretty fast....

[modern beacon]

true, I might as well just wait it out then

[thin token]

u can try ask in your reigon channel in this discord, someone might help

[lavish raft]

does anyone want to help me to get the island soul of Vairgrys's nest ? in Zinner

[silver rain]

that island isnt obtainable for now

[lavish raft]

really ? why ?

[timber mauve]

Devs deemed it so

[lavish raft]

I didn't follow the news of lost ark recently

[astral root]

Yes and yes

[timber mauve]

It’s never been fully obtainable.

[lavish raft]

so Vairgrys isn't really finish ?

[inner wing]

Hmm

[lavish raft]

Vairgrys's nest*

well ok that's sad to hear

thanks for the answer, so

but all mokoko seed are ok in Vairgrys's nest isn't it ? I have 2/3

ok

ty

[silver rain]

lets just say its part of the story for later we wont be able to get it atleast till next year

[lavish raft]

oh okok that's interesting

tbh the island is really beautiful

[rapid vessel]

if i have adrenaline x6 engraving for example but i dont have it equipped in these slots.. do i still get the effect ?

or how do people get 4x4 or whatever then ?

[pseudo atlas]

you won't get the points from your engraving books if they aren't equipped in those slots

accessories/ability stone

[sonic mountain]

How people get multiple lvl 3 engravings are a mixture of nodes that come from those 2 equipped engravings, accessories and ability stones

[rapid vessel]

i assume relic tiers of those are the big part right ?

[sonic mountain]

You need to strategize a little bit to get the perfect number of nodes

[sonic mountain]

You can get a 4x3 with legendary accessories

2 engravings with 9 nodes equipped, a 6/6 stone or better and then the rest is filled using the accessories

[rapid vessel]

hol up what ? i have the trees i need on all the accessories and i have 1x3 and rest is 4x1

[sonic mountain]

The 2 engravings you have equipped on the profile page need to be at least upgraded to have 9 nodes each

Its achieved using the purple engraving books

[sonic mountain]

I think its easier for you to read this
https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/endgame-engravings

[mellow wyvern]

Anyone know a way to accept the event quest to finish what you havent done if you deleted the character you did 60 percent of it on. I used it on a soulfist and didnt like the class so I leveled up a new char to 1315 and now realize I have no way to transfer the mission from the deleted character I wouldve waited but was out of character slots.

[sonic mountain]

Its what I followed at least

[pseudo atlas]

+6 books are too low for any real use especially considering epic books are like 5g, leg accs go up to 3/3 engravings

[rapid vessel]

ohhh i see, tyty

at what ilvl should i start focusing on 5x3 ?

[dusky girder]

before u do clown at 1475, most people would want u to have 5x3 to make it easier

before then 4x3 or 4x3+extra is prob more than enough

[rapid vessel]

gotha, thanks

[flat dagger]

Just FYI, quite a few purple books are quite expensive currently in EUC at least.

[pseudo atlas]

dang that's quite high

[flat dagger]

[limber pier]

I stopped playing after arcanist got released, and im back this week. what did i miss?

[vapid sand]

are you using any powder of sage for your lvl 3 gambles?

[tough matrix]

So I need help.. I’m 1100. Is it possible for me to hit 300 today ? Or it depends on how much materials I have

[thin token]

i already bought lvl 4 tripod for all my chars and saved them in library so if i get a lvl 3 that i dont have i just raw gamble it cuz no point spending on powder wen i already have lvl 4 gaurentee after update

[limber pier]

wait is the new tripod library from korea up in eu?

[vapid sand]

how many lvl 4's are in your inventory on each character? I've heard about saving six lvl 4 tripods, one for each equipment slot. Just wondering how we can fill in the remaining twelve tripod slots

[thin token]

they annouce in road map https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/news/articles/end-of-2022-roadmap

[flat dagger]

If you're 1100 and haven't done your chaos dungeons for today, you get 1302 with a full set of T3 from there.

Of course you need to have completed the Punika Main Quest though.

[thin token]

like 20+ enough for full build, i had to unlock all inventory slots in library

[thick ermine]

wishing him luck I did not on first day I had to wait for reset

[mild sky]

hello im new to lost ark with my friend we both wanna spend good amount of time in but we like 3 classes and that are gundancer wardancer and berserker which 1 is the most viable option ty

[flat dagger]

All of them.

[tough matrix]

Oh shoot really? Glad I skipped to punika and finished its story quickly

[mild sky]

they all same just diffrent playstyle like range and melee?

[peak quiver]

Hi everyone! Quit in May to travel but just came back. Current main is Deathblade 1405 with alts serker and glaiver at 1344, and 1360. Planning on maining reaper when she comes out. What should be my main priority right now? A bit overwhelmed with all the new stuff added while I was gone

[flat dagger]

By Gundancer, do you mean Gunslinger or Gunlancer?

And they are just different place styles, all classes in Lost Ark are viable.

[mild sky]

lancer

[mild sky]

which playstyle is dominant then is it better to be range so u dont take dmg and stay away

[low trail]

So Gunlancer is basically just a tank, dont really have to use brain if you play Blue

[flat dagger]

Neither is dominant, people play it all.

[low trail]

Berserker is pretty easy as well

[mild sky]

but for solo?

[low trail]

all viable

[flat dagger]

Also doesn't matter, except for support I guess.

[mild sky]

i want 1 solo and 1 duo character

but idk which one to make my main ( solo ) and which one nt

[low trail]

did you try them all out?

[mild sky]

no but i seen gamplays and my friend gave me a showcase

[flat dagger]

Then start by just trying one out.

[mild sky]

i dont really care about their stuff i like all of those

but i though one is better and other is better for something else

[low trail]

try them out and see what you actually like

[flat dagger]

They're all better at something specific.

[mild sky]

whats good about
berserk
war
gun

in short sentence pls

not that u do whole school work for each XD

[flat dagger]

I can't speak for Berserker, but Gunlancer has a lot of shields and is very tanky but slow.
Wardancer is very quick, can be tricky with very short attack range.

[low trail]

berserker has good damage

while requiring not much skill

[mild sky]

I want to smash stuff before they smash me

[flat dagger]

Berserker

[mild sky]

THANKS

LUV U I WANT TO SMASH STUFF and u help me ❤️

[inner wing]

Is EUW a 'ok' region after the merge?

[flat dagger]

Why would it be? It's a low population REGION. No amount of server merges will fix that.

[inner wing]

[mild sky]

so basically berserk Smash
warden movement
gun tank

[flat dagger]

In very brief terms, sure.

[dusky girder]

merges just make it so that the stuff like adv islands has a lower chance of being dead. issues like the AH being shit will not change

[mild sky]

why did i call it warden

[flat dagger]

If EUW merged with EUC, then it'd be an ok region

[mild sky]

does the wardancer have good dmg?

[flat dagger]

It's once you hit 1370+ with Wardancer that she becomes nice to play and do a lot of damage.

T1 and T2 Wardancer is not too fun to play.

[timber mauve]

Relic wardancer is nice.

[sonic mountain]

Are any of the classes "fun to play" before t3? 🤔

[plucky solstice]

is there a fast way to level to 60 aside from the training dummies?

[flat dagger]

Spec is especially bad.

[mild sky]

so basically its skill based

[sonic mountain]

Yeah lmao I found that out rlly fast as a demonic sh

[sonic mountain]

No, he's saying the real deal comes when you get later into the game

Which applies for like, every other class as well

[mild sky]

idk i want dmg but idk if dancer or bers

[sonic mountain]

Whatever you pick, its gonna feel like shit on your first time

[vale elm]

What do I have to do for this?
Get an Island Soul?

[dusky girder]

obtain rewards for an adventure island

[vale elm]

oh that

[serene cloak]

how do i even start this quest?

[vale elm]

one of bihourly one

[dusky girder]

thats one of the south vern msq quests

[dusky girder]

yes

[vale elm]

did an entire island quest for the soul and nothing happened so I was confused af

[serene cloak]

yeah i cant even enter south vern till i finish it

[sonic mountain]

Keep in mind you're still considered a "new player" even after 100 hrs of gameplay

[dusky girder]

the south vern msq begins in north vern at i1340

[mild sky]

i learned dancer outperforms in lategame ber and that ber are hated in game

[dusky girder]

lmao

[serene cloak]

ah so i need to go to north vern now

[mild sky]

ohh i know

[sonic mountain]

Can't say anything for that because I'm also a "new-ish" player

[true summit]

the hell

i changed char with some rewards left on level 2 and now its fucked

[sonic mountain]

What I can say is, just pick literally any of the classes and play for like 1 hr or so, if you don't like it you can delete that character and make another one

[mild sky]

man worst part of the mmos for me is the class dilema XD

[thick ermine]

when we are around 1400, what is the honing rate we shold be targetting, I have 45% (with a book), should I be topping up with solar mats? What is the acceptable rate until 1470+ i should be targetting ?

[dusky girder]

use books and nothing else until you can't use books anymore

[sonic mountain]

Before you get into actual gameplay the game lets you try out the character as well, though it is not representative of how you will play the same character 150 hrs later when you're geared up and stuff

[thick ermine]

ok so its ok to try even if the rate is like 30-40% right ?

[trail hawk]

give a bot name "dosgikjnsdg0poim" and lvl it up to lvl 20 or so, and youll have better opinion if thats for you

[dusky girder]

yes. it gets down to like 3-6% eventually so "acceptable" rates are kind of a meme, the rates just are what they are

[hidden trout]

For clown g1, when he rolls a dice, does the card on the dice mean anything?

[dusky girder]

there are efficiency calcs out there but thats p much it

[timber mauve]

All classes perform rather similar. There’s no wrong answer tbh. Just play whoever you like.
Both classes offer good buffs, wardancer maybe a bit more.

[thick ermine]

ok thanks !

[zenith pollen]

Ive an weird issue with game/internet? not sure honestly. So basically sometimes my internet just stops working for anything, but lost ark. like i dont get kicked, no higher pings or anything but i cant do shit on browser or discord

[trail hawk]

lucky you?

[peak quiver]

Can anyone help me out with this ^?

[zenith pollen]

not lucky, ive to restart router to make it work as it should again, until then no yt or discord and that sucks

[sonic mountain]

Probably learn how to play the game again since you've been gone so long

[trail hawk]

guess you could up the db to 1415 and at least try valtan, or leave it at 1405 and do argos and hm aira + oreha. lvl up the other 2 chars to 1370 for argos and hard modes.

[peak quiver]

Rotations and stuff are fine lol

[lunar panther]

so just starting to play post 1370 whats the difference between abyss raid and legion raid

[flat dagger]

Abyss Raid = All 3 gates in one go.
Legion Raid = More complicated multi gated boss fights, saves each gate.

[lunar panther]

awesome ty

[trail hawk]

also, you can respawn in argos raid, in legion raid you die, youre dead.

[lunar panther]

how many respawns? is it like a max amount for team or just infinite

[timid sable]

Can I use the punika power pass on a mage toon now and not pick an advanced class until summoner?

[trail hawk]

argos has 4 team respawns.

[maiden locust]

4 max

[timid sable]

Sorry, 4 what? Is it time limited?

[lunar panther]

i believe he meant to reply to my message, lol, but thanks guys

[brazen hill]

I can only do this Oreha's well once per week?

[maiden locust]

yu can respawn 4 times

[trail hawk]

yes, as any other aby.

[brazen hill]

so this means that crafting material required for the gear...is actually super hard to get?

that shiny thing, which you can use to get the next gear

[maiden locust]

its time gated yes

[trail hawk]

you get mats by doing daily chaos on more than 1 char.

[flat dagger]

You can get full legendary in a single week by buying both Oreha chests and bus P3 Argos + Chest.

[brazen hill]

buying? what wait?

[flat dagger]

The end chest for each Oreha's Well dungeon.

But only if you plan to bus P3 Argos the same week.

[brazen hill]

ah, so an alt can get the same chest...can you share the crafting mat?

[flat dagger]

No.

[trail hawk]

no, those mats are bound

[brazen hill]

well, time gated it is then lmao

[flat dagger]

No.

[trail hawk]

again, do daily chaos, guardian boss on more than 1 char.

then transfer those mats to one char which you want to upgrade.

[flat dagger]

The only time gate is getting 5-set Preordained or Harsh Oath. Eventually also relic set and upgrading the set effect.

[brazen hill]

hm...you get those "non-equipable" items from the 1370 dungeons, yes? You just need to break them to get the mats?

[trail hawk]

they dont really give many mats tho... you get way more from daiyl chaos, guardian boss...

[flat dagger]

The broken pieces are for skill perk upgrades, also known by the community as tripods.

[brazen hill]

ah, so these are only for...even more extra perks..that are coming from your gear?

[flat dagger]

No, perk upgrades. So you improve your selected perks.

Non-selected perks won't apply.

[brazen hill]

sigh, this is so unnecessarily overcomplicated...

[trail hawk]

per skill you select 3 tripods if that skill is fully upgraded. that is lvl1. with items like that you can upgrade those tripods.

[brazen hill]

so in short, upgrading your talent tree nodes

[flat dagger]

Yes.

You can set tracked perks in settings in the skill menu.

Those broken pieces will then have a special icon if it matches and/or is an upgrade.

[simple knoll]

if i want to do valtan on alts i need to do south vern right
and for alts i need to do south vern manullay again right?

[flat dagger]

You transfer over individual or whole sets of perks at the skill tree transfer. Whole set into inventory and onto a piece, overwrites all old perks. Transfer is % chance for a single transfer overwrite. @brazen hill

[bitter geyser]

I have the choice of Machinist, Bard, Striker, and Destroyer to put through the 1415 event - which of these would be the cheapest to gear up as an alt other than Bard?

[echo owl]

one roster wide sv clear unlocks legion raids for your roster

but yes you do them again on alts to unlock chaos dungeon

[simple knoll]

wait so i can do legion without south vern, but i need south vern for chaos in case this is a good info for me

[spring sail]

Hello guys, what was that stronghold upgrade that people said saves up a lot of resources when honing gear?

[limber pier]

can someone please give me a sum up of what's new since arcanist got released?

[trail hawk]

scouter, clown, and its cheaper to upgrade to 1415.

[limber pier]

no artist?

[spring sail]

I'm still stuck at 302 lol, need to get back into the game. I'll do that lab upgrade on the stronghold

[trail hawk]

no artsit this year as it seems

[limber pier]

okay thnx mate

[atomic cradle]

whats the maximum stat for ancient accessories? (ex: +300 spec is max for relic earring, +200 for relic ring, etc)

[maiden locust]

you get the research at 1385 and 1460

[spring sail]

https://assets.maxroll.gg/wordpress/alts_honing_research_v1.jpg

Tier 1 at 1385?

[maiden locust]

those dont matter anymore since its 100% in tier 1 and 2

[spring sail]

Ah I got it

[maiden locust]

the tier 3 honing research you unlock at 1385 and 1460

[spring sail]

I pretty much have a massive stockpile of mats and stuff from the release but I just never did any honing and quit the game, now I'm returning

Need to get to T3 fast 😄

[maiden locust]

is this your first character?

[spring sail]

I have a paladin main, 3 alts but never did anything. Paladin is my main char yeah

[rough whale]

i have these deformed/tattered armor pieces in my inventory with lv3/4 tripods that i want. do they get lost from new tripod system?

[modern beacon]

Just had my first duel and accidentally one-shot the opponent thanks to preemptive strike. Is PvP mostly about who hits first or is it more fun later in game? I've mostly been avoiding PvP since the PvE content has been so fun. Are there useful rewards from PvP content as well and any tips for gradually getting into some of it?

[rough whale]

ive played maybe 40-50 pvp matches, the stats are equalized in arena so there's no one shots from higher ilvls etc., but its all just stuns. very frustrating to play vs characters with a lot of superarmor+stun

[maiden locust]

then you should do the speedrun to tier 3 for your first character and save all the boxes and stuff you have till you reach tier 3

[spring sail]

I wast thinking about mass farming my alts all to T3? Because of gold farming

Since I read multiple times that T3 prints gold compared to T1/T2

[tough spoke]

yeah thats true, T3 your alt can cash in decent gold even with taking bus at 1370

[maiden locust]

when you get to tier 3 and finish punika for the first time you get a free powerpass for another tier 3 character, and then you can use knowledge transfer to get your other alts to tier 3

and you will get acces to the express to 1415

so its best to speedrun your main to tier 3, that will take like a day or 2 depending on playtime

[low trail]

if you dont save them in an inventory they will be lost

[spring sail]

Got it brother

[rough whale]

ok thanks

[maiden locust]

you want the guide for the speedrun to tier 3?

[spring sail]

It's on maxroll right?

[maiden locust]

yeah

[spring sail]

Thank you so much bro, happy weekend for you bless you

[maiden locust]

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

[spring sail]

Yeah I haven't even done islands yet

[maiden locust]

you can also look up a video on yt, just my preference tho

[spring sail]

Tons of mats there

[maiden locust]

yeah for sure, combined with the event it should be enough to get to tier 3

[tough spoke]

islands are amazing, you should do some of them every day

[crisp turtle]

no, they'll change into the new trinkets

[rigid plank]

They won't change into trinkets, they turn into legacy items but any items later on you get from chaos will be the trinkets

[hot dock]

when do the sailing quest for ashtray appears

[merry estuary]

how long do i need to wait until the whispering minuet una's task unlock? i've done the prereq quest but its not showing up on my task list

[silver rain]

the yellow quest on the island

[silver rain]

if you mean the treasure hunting una, its the Voyage co-op specifically Yorn's and Arthetine's first co-op quest check your timer alert for time

[tough spoke]

i think its random 50/50 chance quest on two spots, when you get one done do rest with una instant complete ticket is my tip

[low trail]

arthentine always has it on first event

[tough spoke]

Astray with crew and upgrades is pretty daunting task, you should work on it at multiple fronts imo from the beginning, you'll need dailies, rapport, virtue stats and sheeeeet ton of coins for the whole project

[pseudo atlas]

should just not do it unless you're really prepared to sink a boatload of pirate coins and time into it

[crisp turtle]

just dont do it at all, it feels necessary early on, cos you spend a lot of time in a boat.
but later on, you barely spend any time sailing anywhere

unless you're actually interested in the sailing co-op events

[gloomy gust]

Can I do kakul rehearsal with lower level friends at 1385, it's saying he needs 1415 for the quest?

news post/ingame interface doesn't say that reqs

[maiden locust]

what quest?

[crisp turtle]

is he trying to access it through the Legion Raid statue?
thats the only reason i can imagine it says he needs 1415

[maiden locust]

rehearsel is seperate from that tho

did he do south vern msq?

[gloomy gust]

It was just saying "ingame content required" with no info, mayhem invitation is all I can think of

[gloomy gust]

you cant at 1385

[maiden locust]

its 1340

[crisp turtle]

south vern is 1340

[pseudo atlas]

it's 1340 isn't it

[gloomy gust]

oh is it mb

[maiden locust]

you need to do south vern to unlock legion raids

[gloomy gust]

Ah thanks guys

[maiden locust]

np

have fun

[gloomy gust]

Damn didnt work, its not south vern

[maiden locust]

what do you mean

[gloomy gust]

I'm just going to see if he has guide quests on the char he's done south vern on

[maiden locust]

you only have to do south vern once to unlock legion raids

[gloomy gust]

yeah he's done it on another char

[maiden locust]

has he done normal clown on another character?

[elder anchor]

Any good herb gathering spots in t3 areas? My old spot in luterra is filled with bots

[maiden locust]

slime island is pretty good

[crystal plume]

Entering Kakul's raid, getting stuck to the loading screen, sent back to the town and lost my entry count. Is there a way to ask a ticket to get back my final entry count ?

[cold olive]

Can newly opened accounts get punika pass from the event?

[maiden locust]

wait for 48 hours, if you dont have the ticket by then make a ticket

[maiden locust]

if your at punika before 28th october yes

[crystal plume]

I see, thanks 🥲

[cold olive]

I'm in punika but it didn't come, I still need to do the yellow tasks demi how will it arrive

[maiden locust]

did you do the purple quest, bervers friend?

[maiden locust]

if he did normal clown this week he cant do rehearsel anymore

[gloomy gust]

I was talking south vern there, I think I've sorted it

[cold olive]

yes i did that mission pass came one

[gloomy gust]

was a guide quest after south vern

[maiden locust]

ahh

my bad i forgot about that quest

[maiden locust]

you get 1 pass

[cold olive]

can't i get another

[maiden locust]

no there is only 1 free pass

[cold olive]

thank you for your help 🙂

[maiden locust]

np

[errant minnow]

what is the current event in game now? can i get a link

[maiden locust]

gaurdian event

[maiden locust]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/under-the-arkesian-sun-release-notes

[errant minnow]

thanks

[maiden locust]

there is a small explanation in there

[lethal lark]

are tripods additive with each other within the same skill or multiplied? for example here it is 15+60+60 = 135% extra damage or 1.6*1.6*1.15=294%?

[dusky girder]

find out by using trixion

[tough matrix]

whats the best way to get silver? they robbed me half a mil for getting to 1346

[thin token]

lopang una task on alts > chaos dungeon on alts > cube weekly are best ways for silver

[elder anchor]

Are the hp chests from Mari still worth?

[rose jewel]

best way is playing the game, dailies give you a good amount and event gives you 1M weekly

[harsh dawn]

Scouter PP does not expire if you use it?

[crisp turtle]

https://www.easymari.com/en/price_tool

[dusky girder]

it has an expiration date which should show up in char select

[mild sky]

Whats good martial arts sub class

[tough spoke]

scrapper is nice

[maiden locust]

scrapper

[tough spoke]

jinx

[mild sky]

Hes best out of female right?

[maiden locust]

she is

[mild sky]

😂 yea i said he to her btw i heard striker good 2 which one should i go with

[maiden locust]

you want booba or cocka?

[mild sky]

Idc😂

I want to smash things

[maiden locust]

striker is more expensive to build endgame

just pick 1

[mild sky]

[flat jacinth]

hello Would you recommend engraving for the destroyer?

[rose jewel]

#Destroyer #navigation

[flat jacinth]

my main character is shadowhunter

I asked for the side character

[rose jewel]

it doesn't stop you from getting the destroyer role tho

WD main, i have glaiv channel open, bard, paladin, etc etc

[maiden locust]

Pls help , ab the event guardian raid thing . Sometimes we do it in 7 mins , but sometimes it takes forever , i think the reason is we didnt attack on the right target ,in the right time .
How to know which one to attack ?

[azure lintel]

Fastest Honor Shard dailies?

[tough matrix]

i assume you are talking about the event guardian raids?

[maiden locust]

the invader is always the one that gives the buffs

Yea yea

it says it on the screen before you go in who the invader is

[rose jewel]

invader doesnt appear in 1-2 minutes = go to where the other thing is

[crisp turtle]

depending on the invader, there are certain conditions to get the buffs.
either stagger, destruction or counter

[rose jewel]

no buffs = takes forever, no hidden strats, pty straightforward

[maiden locust]

Wdym invader ? The one who come at us first ?

[pseudo atlas]

literally named invader

[maiden locust]

the invader comes later in the fight when you get a stagger check or something like that

[rose jewel]

he can randomly appear whenever, or he can be an asshole and never appear and you gotta go to where the other mob is

[pseudo atlas]

can confirm we sat around and killed one boss entirely without the invader showing up

[maiden locust]

today?

[buoyant herald]

he always appears unless the dps is too insane
only way to skip invader is to have over the top dps otherwise he always spawns

[pseudo atlas]

uh whenever the last time urnil was in event guardian raid

took like 5 minutes to kill urnil and then we went to the other guy and the invader was just sitting there

[crisp turtle]

yeah, can happen. if invader doesn't turn up within like 30s of fighting one guardian, just go to the other one

[maiden locust]

Ty

[rose jewel]

wish everyday it was deska+acha or yoho, easiest guardian event

[rough whale]

can someone double check this for me? im giving nia 16 legendary gifts (2k rapport each) so i can do the rapport skip - is that the right amount?

[azure lintel]

When should I be doing shard dailies over leapstones?

[crisp turtle]

when you have no shards

[wraith basin]

right now cuz market prices

[azure lintel]

What are the best shard dailies to do? Ones that are also fast

[mild sky]

Yo im creating a 2nd charater to play with a mate whats better and which subclass gunslinger or mage

[sonic mountain]

We alr said you can pick anything

You literally can't compare those 2 classes bruv

What I can say is, if you wanna see unga bunga big numbers in endgame, pick sorceress lol

Just get used to the very long casting times

[final junco]

hi there, i wonder if anyone got the same : im a shadowhunter
i was in demon form in clown gate 1, i got too high gage and so should have turn into a clown so i had the skills as clown (couldn't use them) but still was in demon state, could just walk around, and when clown morph was over i went invisible and couldn't use any skills until the boss hit me xD

I don't know if it was a bug from me or from the game so was wondering if someone got smth similar

[glad crag]

which is the cheapest and effective eng set for blue gunlancer at 1415 guys?

[maiden locust]

take the gunlancer role in #navigation

[peak wadi]

Is there a gear guide for 1460+? Is there a cheese strat or nah

[wraith basin]

all the same

[pseudo atlas]

there's basically no cheese strat at all at this point, you level equally from 302 to 1490+ unless you really want to do something in particular

[rose jewel]

glow gamers

[peak wadi]

hmm do people just level their gear to +19 and then hone their weapon to 20 and over for glow?

or leave it at +18 and do weapon

[pseudo atlas]

+20 all and maniacs go further

[buoyant herald]

21 wep and leave some pieces at 19

[pseudo atlas]

brel is in December though so if you aren't already glowing like the sun you don't have much time

[buoyant herald]

my 1475 alts have 21 weps

[peak wadi]

is 21 the best glow

[pseudo atlas]

it's as far as sane people might try to hone

[crisp turtle]

i mean, thats like asking if blue is the best colour

[thin token]

lol i am on my way to pity +21 wep on my main @@

[pseudo atlas]

there's a glow gallery in #info-dump

[amber spruce]

guys wich 2 bard skills i must not use at the same time?

[crisp turtle]

heavenly tune and sonic vibration give the same buff

[peak wadi]

nice thanks!

is there a site that shows what the honing % is for +18 and over

[crisp turtle]

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

[peak wadi]

that doesn't show % tho no

[crisp turtle]

expand it

[peak wadi]

oh damn dind't know that, thanks man 😄

[livid kindle]

once you get to 1415 on your main, is it better to try and do argos without a bus? never done past p1 without one

[shy breach]

Anybody can help me?It's worth stock gold to buy acessories to solve this situation or better put gold to make the character 1490?

[dapper valley]

Might want to do Argos just for the experience

What are you grinding for in lost ark if it’s not the raids

[maiden locust]

ofcourse

[livid kindle]

is p2 and p3 easier than p1? i always struggled to remember small pizza 🙂

[crisp turtle]

small pizza is only in p1.
there are mechanics in p2, but if you're doing p3, your group will do enough damage to ignore them.
p3 has quite a few wipe mechanics, but they're very simple.

but its worth trying to learn the memory pizza mechanic. the whole pizza slice mechanic is repeated later in raids

[pseudo atlas]

you should be doing argos manually at 1400 if even at all possible, but definitely at 1415

[crisp turtle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRYrsQ_bauo

[livid kindle]

ahh ty!

[thin token]

so i try using the calculator for once just to see how much i would need to go from +19 > +20 is this the correct way? so meaning these are the amounts of mats i would need?

[pseudo atlas]

uh other than the +18 weapon instead of +19, yeah that's the average with no additional materials at all

not necessarily how many you will use or an upper limit

[thin token]

ok ok, this is how i left some of my alts and am planning to possibly get them to 1490 by december lol well shiet thats alot of mats doe

alright thank you

[pseudo atlas]

you should just set it at optimal materials, odds are it will find a way to save one hone and a bit of gold/mats in the worst case scenario

[crisp turtle]

thats calculating from being +18 to +20

[thin token]

yee i have weapon at +18 and armors at +19 right now

[pseudo atlas]

the selected box is to hone to that specific level from the previous level

[crisp turtle]

you don't need to highlight the +19 blocks

[pseudo atlas]

so for weapon you have to highlight 19 and 20 to get to 20
and the armor you highlight only 20

[thin token]

ohhh lol

ok ok i get it now, thank you xD

Hello, returning player here, I was just questing through Feiton - Kalaja, and came across this area with a lot of players, does anyone know why?

[sand chasm]

there is a an una delivery spot there that everyone does

[maiden locust]

popular spot where people hangout after doing una dailies

[rose jewel]

una's quest usually end there

[placid jackal]

oooh okay, thank you all!

[ripe sedge]

Did they even "greatly increase" the chances of crit success in food crafting? Farmed 40 Yorn worm heads and not a single worm skin.

[pseudo atlas]

nobody is actually sure how it will play out, feiton said no limit but expired and the arcanist powerpass said no limit and didn't expire

[harsh dawn]

bruh

[pseudo atlas]

yep it's very consistent with amazon games' planning so far which is "completely inconsistent"

[rose jewel]

the only thing they know is that they know nothing

[pseudo atlas]

i don't think they know that actually

[ripe sedge]

Does anyone know whats the deal with the food crafting great success? Patch notes said they were buffed "greatly" but I didn't see any improvement.
