[buoyant herald]

+18 is 1460

[maiden locust]

+16 is 1430

[cursive shadow]

Oh really

Oh thats changes so many things for me

[buoyant herald]

lol 😄

[cursive shadow]

Thas such good news was sure that to get to 1460 il have to hone to 24 with those awful odds

[buoyant herald]

past +15 items give +15 ilvl (2.5 flat ilvl)

[cursive shadow]

I'm actually happy the moment when I arrive at my shift il start playing those news makes me want to play kk sorry if it's stupid

[buoyant herald]

😄 no worries

[cursive shadow]

A question when I use maxroll honing calculator what is the meaning of full materials ?

[crisp turtle]

Using the juice materials, solar graces and stuff.
Set it to "use optimal materials" and import prices, and it will work out when's the time best to use them

[cursive shadow]

Is this right?

[buoyant herald]

why wouldnt it be
to know i would just check maxroll 😄

[hot path]

anything i can do to avoid the auction house "your activity is being checked" crap?!
Whenever i buy big amount in a short time i get this error, thus missing out on many great deals when mass buying...

[buoyant herald]

anti bot thing
limits buys to 1 per 10s fucking cancer

[hot path]

1 buy 10 seconds?! not enough! -.-

[buoyant herald]

yeah its ass

[maiden locust]

if your upgrading from 1415 to 1445 yes

[cursive shadow]

Ok than I think il try to push my pally aor db before doing other characters

Probably easier with pally

[hot path]

when i buy something @ lets say 18G and sell it for 19G, i do make 1G pure win, right?

[buoyant herald]

consider tax

[flat dagger]

5% sale tax.

[hot path]

so no, crap.

[flat dagger]

And it assumes the item doesn't cost pheons to buy.

[hot path]

market has also tax? i thought only auction. damned ^^

[pseudo atlas]

basically any time gold moves hands it gets taxed

[buoyant herald]

trade, mail everything

[hot path]

hm, guess my wins were big enough so far it didn't matter ^^

[serene cloak]

is there a "best" spot to catch normal fishs at or all are the same ?

[vital obsidian]

Swiftness, First Intention 3, Adrenaline 5, -Movespeed 3. I have one with 27 quality.. How would you price it? None sold in the past days, those are the only two being listed.

[modern beacon]

Trying to finish one of the hidden quests and it isn't letting me complete it since it says I "need to get closer". Any ideas for what to do?

[crisp turtle]

kinda worthless, as FI doesn't run adrenaline
its basically just a poor quality item with FI3, so like 1/2k if you're lucky

[modern beacon]

nvm, after clicking about a dozen times it finally worked

[hexed tendon]

how expensive is gunslinger? is gs worth building?

[maiden locust]

if you like gs yes

[hexed tendon]

my gs is only t1... so far she feels fun to play

[buoyant herald]

tripods are expesive it doesnt need a lvl 3 engraving so its a little cheaper than the igniter sorc or di sh but other than that its around the same as any other class

[hexed tendon]

I just got 5 x 3 on my sorc so I have basically no pheons left to build up my gs

i also gotta get my GL up first but I think ill do GS after

[lost mesa]

does the bracelet have any engravings on it

[lost mesa]

accessories are cheap but you need tripods and gems or it sucks

[maiden locust]

no only stats

[lost mesa]

ah, thank you

[cursive ridge]

I need help with a price estimate for an accessory

This the right place or there’s another channel?

[hexed tendon]

how many gems? I can give it a few level 7 gems

[lost mesa]

all lv7 cd gems really, and probably all lv7 dmg gems

[hexed tendon]

ah ok

[maiden locust]

check ingame market

[lone raven]

So I craft Preordained or chosen gear starts at ilvl 1340, then hone it up to 1415 and beyond??

[flat dagger]

@hexed tendon Gunslinger runs 7x DMG and 4x CD gems.

[cursive ridge]

It doesn’t show me much, history is broken (or nobody bought similar ones recently for however long it keeps data for) and the ones listed don’t quite have the same quality or negatives either so it’s not a good baseline

[hexed tendon]

thanks, is it also true that i only need 4x3+1?

[flat dagger]

4x3+2+1.

[maiden locust]

you stay at 1370

[lost mesa]

dont look at history look at current listings

[hexed tendon]

+2 adr?

[lone raven]

So how do I get passed 1370?

[flat dagger]

Yes.

[hexed tendon]

sounds good thanks

[maiden locust]

with the chosen, pre ordained gear

[cursive ridge]

Like I mentioned, current listings are absolute crap quality and have +3 negatives so idk how much to actually list stuff for…

[hexed tendon]

also is there any point where time to hunt > peacemaker?

[lost mesa]

ya just read that part, just dm it to me along with a pic of what the current ones on the market are looking like

[flat dagger]

I wouldn't know, TTH has no stagger which can be a big problem.

[radiant flame]

In short. Yes. TTH has fewer skills so you can fit damage rotation in shorter time

[hexed tendon]

I heard its moe bursty but that makes no sense to me

[lost mesa]

when you have high level cd gems but still peacemaker can dish out much more if you play it right

[crisp turtle]

i mean theres liek 15 different tth builds, kinda hard to clarify what they need

[radiant flame]

That’s why it is more bursty because you can pack all your main damage skills (ie rifle+bullet rain) in a short window

PM excels at prolonged damage because you have more skills for damage

[flat dagger]

7 to be exact.

[radiant flame]

But suffers a bit in short damage windows particularly because your shotgun skills have long animation

Played well, both builds are completely fine

[flat dagger]

That's not much of a problem with Yearning buff and/or Salvation build.

[radiant flame]

I went TTH because it is insanely cheap

[hexed tendon]

maybe it will get some use in brel. I think ill do 4x3+2+1 peacemaker.

[radiant flame]

It still is 🤷🏻‍♂️ you just can’t fit in so many skills in say, a short stagger window

[flat dagger]

But then PM has higher stagger too, so

[radiant flame]

Yeah, but idk why that matters for damage per se

[flat dagger]

Stagger window, thought you mean stagger check. But Salvation helps with a burst window a lot.

[radiant flame]

It’s not like there are many bosses where a stagger bar is meaningful outside of stagger checks

[hexed tendon]

based of what ive seen TTH> for burst windows. peace> for everything else

[vocal flower]

just dont play gs

[radiant flame]

Yep is a good summary. But, a lot of legion raids are built around short burst windows

Regardless, the playstyle matter more, and how comfortable you are with them

I was never comfortable with PM so TTH was a perfect fit

[hexed tendon]

there have been a few times ive been thrown offf gs

which is why ive neglected it at t1 for a few weeks now

not the play style but the players I encounter when im on my sorc or destro

[radiant flame]

Eh your GS in in T1?

[flat dagger]

What do you mean?

[hexed tendon]

yeah, im relatively new ( 2 months in). I have a glave destro sorc and pally at 1415+ and my GL is being leveled and my GS is being neglected

[hexed tendon]

every time I see a GS i get happy for crit synergy and then they spend the entire raid dead almost every time

[flat dagger]

They're called Floorslinger for a reason.

[hexed tendon]

💀

[flat dagger]

2nd lowest hp ratio, 90% defence.

[hexed tendon]

yeah I cry about being squishy on sorc so Id probably go bald playing GS

maybe I shouldnt have started on destro. that class is impossible to die with

[sick thunder]

use heavy armor until you are comfortable with dodging

[rough prawn]

ppl wont accept u if u have heavy armor lol

[hexed tendon]

I dont think thats the best idea

[sick thunder]

whats your roster ?

[crisp turtle]

Ha does the opposite. it teaches you to not dodge, because you can tank shit

[rough prawn]

^^

[hexed tendon]

dying and making mistakes is fine to me, heavy armor can ruin your playstyle indefinitely if you never learn patterns because of it

[sick thunder]

you cant tank shit it lowers your dps

[rough prawn]

U just need to focus more, pay more attention to patterns, they are called patterns for a reason

[radiant flame]

Can’t tell if this guy is joking

[crisp turtle]

know what else lowers your dps? heavy armor, lmao

[sick thunder]

you know what lowers it ? being a floorslinger

better alive then dead

[rough prawn]

Why play gs if ure gonna go heavy armor

Like its legit not gonna get accepted to any parties

[hexed tendon]

Wouldn't you prefer having a support then instead? kind of a flawed way of thinking imo but thanks for the tip

[rough prawn]

even if it does, its a 100% dog party and u just waste 30 mins

[hexed tendon]

^^

[radiant flame]

100% untrue. You need to be able to do DPS. Late game raids are literally balanced around an average player having good engravings

[sick thunder]

and around being alive

[rough prawn]

[sick thunder]

better have engravings to your ability then to the ability you wish to have

[radiant flame]

I’ll just wait until this guy is gone …

[crisp turtle]

HA teaches bad habits. thats it.
you'll learn much more about the limits of your class running with grudge and dying 30 times, than you will by using HA as a crutch.

[radiant flame]

I bet he has some grudge/HA accessories to sell

[sick thunder]

no you will just learn how to get kicked first

[hexed tendon]

Dying by learn patterns is 100% more helpful than tanking patterns and refusing to learn because of heavy armor, literally crutching at its finest

[round sluice]

a gs with grudge might get kicked sure, but one with HA won’t be accepted in the first place LOL

[sick thunder]

well thats a poor mindset

getting hit at all is really bad

[radiant flame]

Lol

[sick thunder]

dying is even worse

[radiant flame]

This guy has never progged?

[crisp turtle]

????

if you don't get hit at all, why would you even need HA

[sick thunder]

it takes time you wont be a master dodger by watching a 10 minute video

[rough prawn]

U can

[radiant flame]

Just leave this master dodger alone. He’s better than all of us. We can’t learn from him

[rough prawn]

• with 10 min of progging the raid urself

[sick thunder]

atleast be realistic with how long it takes

[radiant flame]

I hope he streams so I can watch his professional gameplay

[rough prawn]

it did take me 3 pulls to finish g1 clown soooo

[sick thunder]

congrats

now i would rather have people to use engravings they would have use for the most

at most you are suggesting he should never use heavy armor

but how can you tell who needs or doesnt need it if everyone is using grudge

[flat dagger]

Even progging clown, I used <20 blue potions on my GS with Grudge at 1475.

[lost mesa]

g1 is easy, how many tries did it take you to do g3

[flat dagger]

But I have like 1000 hours on GS.

[sick thunder]

i would rate it the same as joining reclears before you even cleared it

[flat dagger]

Yup, just don't run Grudge and run something else instead.

[sick thunder]

pretending that you are better with engravings you are not prepared to use is just pointless

[radiant flame]

What the hell is this. It’s not about “pretending how good you are”

[rough prawn]

6 pulls

[flat dagger]

Yea, it's partially why I didn't run Grudge + CD on GS in the first place. But now I am.

[radiant flame]

You just should use DPS engravings in a DPS game

[rough prawn]

i ahd 1500 scrapper with me tho

[hexed tendon]

im gonna use grudge 100%

[sick thunder]

im talking about the new guy with a gunslinger alt or something

[radiant flame]

Grudge isn’t going to kill you outside of being hit by something big and telegraphed

[sick thunder]

he will be denied on roster level alone so why bother with bis

[radiant flame]

Smh he can play with people outside of just PF maybe?

[hexed tendon]

i have a static lol

[sick thunder]

so heavy armor wouldnt make a difference now would it ?

[radiant flame]

HA will get him into a group?

[sick thunder]

doesnt matter with a static

[radiant flame]

So why does grudge matter? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[sick thunder]

better then to grief everyone else by repeatedly dying for 5 hours

[hexed tendon]

why has this pointless conversation dragged for so long. I have a static who is fine with me being weak if on a new class and I already said I wont use HA

[sick thunder]

well do whathever ya want

[lost mesa]

so you’re saying you cleared clown g3 in 6 tries 😄 just to make sure “pulls” = tries

[sick thunder]

its a free for all with a static anyway

[hexed tendon]

what

[sick thunder]

you can use anything there

[rough prawn]

yes

[sick thunder]

majority of the content is really easy once you get the hang of it

all the requirements are usually built around party finders being picky

[hexed tendon]

i have only used party finders a few times out of guardian raids

[sick thunder]

good choice matchmaking guardians usually sucks

[rough prawn]

I do have a 1505 scrapper that has done it alr, 1490 support that has done it too, and me n shadow doing it for the 1st time

[sick thunder]

fresh alts with random stats looking for a carry

[rough prawn]

but ya we did bingo cheese with maxroll

[sick thunder]

anyway one of my tips is that if you have a static you shouldnt look over the cheaper choice engravings

works a bit worse but the price is about 100 times better

[prime juniper]

guys can anyone help me to determine a good way to get high rooster level i went into adventure tome of certain continents up to 70-80% mainly for skill potions but i need like 20 levels and idk what to do tbh

[orchid jewel]

so is there a reason why character creation is locked for me?

[sick thunder]

collectibles give decent roster level

[prime juniper]

what wshould i focus on i already have some in all

for example igneas require too much work and i have no idea abour rapport or what's so ever

[sick thunder]

collectibles where there isnt a lot of them like giant hearts masterpieces omnium stars

easy island souls

[prime juniper]

got like 30 island soulks

omnium need unas days and schedule to get same goes for giant hearts

[silver rain]

max free slot is 6

[sick thunder]

well roster isnt exactly the easiest thing to farm

increases with time

[orchid jewel]

i have slots open it just doen't let me make one

[silver rain]

what did it say?

[pseudo atlas]

you have to take all characters out of universal storage

[silver rain]

oh the merge

[orchid jewel]

ty holy fk been asking for 3 days and finnaly someone answers ty HOLY

[acoustic galleon]

How many trumpets do you get from clown per gate?

[radiant flame]

2,4,4

[acoustic galleon]

Ty

[radiant flame]

half without chest

5 from auction at the end

[old bane]

doing platinum field through stronghold, is there a specific one that is more valuable? or do you do based on adaptation only

[acoustic galleon]

I wouldn’t recommend doing it by stronghold if you have decent life skill levels. I’m not sure about drops as I’ve never done stronghold before

[fair mantle]

Stronghold drops aren't good, not worth the time

[buoyant herald]

would be a huge wate

[near stream]

if i wanted to splash on a costume would the easiest way be to buy the orange crystals for US dollars from Steam

[fair mantle]

I mean we can't value gold vs real money, that's on you

[near stream]

so you could buy them with gold too. thing is i suck at the game and have no gold.

but i'm ok at real life and have some extra us dollars, ya know

[fair mantle]

Your choice

[junior dune]

+15% damage or +60% front crit damage? which is better?

[barren jacinth]

since I can transfer honing from from my weapon/armor, how much should I hone my 302 starting gear? I heard to stop at some level (assuming I have mats of course)

[near stream]

the lvl complete pack would hook me up with 2600 blue crystals for the price of 1100 orange ones, right, since i've reached lvl 50 with one character?

[maiden locust]

+15

[barren jacinth]

thanks, and if you don't mind is there a reason for it?

[fair mantle]

Yeah, but blue crystals can be used to only buy select skins, and it's recommended to save them for pheons instead

[maiden locust]

when you get to +15 (600 ilvl) you transfer to tier 2 gear

[near stream]

i'm looking at wily dawn skin set A for gunner (female) which is a suitable Bayonetta cosplay drip, it's 2400 orange or 1000 blue

so, if i don't play to minmax my way into endgame anytime soon, isn't it smarter to use the lvl complete blue crystals versus paying ... 2400 orange

1100 orange with some blue left over, versus 2400 orange, or am i still thinking shortsightedly

[pulsar hamlet]

yo uhh, is it right that i upgrade my gear to reach ilvl treshholds? rn my main quest is to get to 600, so i would upgrade my abyss dungeon gear to that?

[fair mantle]

I mean pheons aren't rlly needed for min Max, they're for normal gearing and they cost 30k gold for 100 rn, if you plan on playing this game long term, I would save that pack for pheons and Aura and use normal royal crystals to buy the skin, also this is the skin in the ark pass right, maybe you can just buy that

[fair mantle]

Yeah

[maiden locust]

you can transfer your current gear to the abyss gear and keep your ilvl

[pulsar hamlet]

i upgraded the providence set to 460 and then ran the abyss dungeons and got the whole enraged nature set and im running that right now

[fair mantle]

Set doesn't rlly matter much rn

Just hone to 600 and get T2 gear

[pulsar hamlet]

kk ty

[near stream]

Hmm ark pass you say ... it's certainly not a time limited skin it seems so i might not need to be in any hurry

[fair mantle]

Could you send a ss of the skin you're talking about, maybe I'm confusing it with something else

[silver rain]

dawn skin is the permanent bc skin one

[fading tinsel]

hey guys, i have a question, this may be too early to ask. but im planning of leaving my paly alt’s weapon at +18 and hone 2 armor pieces to 21. so I still get to 1490 for new Chaos in Dec. but can I transfer +18 weapon to Brel weapon? or it has to be +20 to be able to? thanks!

[rigid plank]

you can still transfer regardless of hone lvl

[cursive lion]

Hi Guys - Nice to meet you all ! anyone interested of coaching for 1 hr and get paid for it a respected amount ( A returning player - just needs to ask a few questions and get a general idea of the game )

Welcome to PM me or tag me here - Thank you so much in advance !

[torpid flume]

does anyone know which secret map the codex is referring to for the galatur card drop?

[fading tinsel]

do you know if +17 to +18 is 10% or 5%? thanks!

[rigid plank]

For regular relic?

[fading tinsel]

yes please.coz if it is 10% i will do one more on weap. but if it is 5% i will just do 3 armor at the end. my weap now is 17.

[elfin harness]

is it possible to solo velganos as pally without crit set at ilvl?

[rigid plank]

its 5%

[maiden locust]

with dps build yeah

[fading tinsel]

thanks man. my 4 chars took less than 7 taps to get from +19-20. I have a feeling I would pity my last 2 char if I try to +20 haha the luck always even out at the end. So to be safe I will just hone 3 armor pieces on the paly to +21.

[silver rain]

prolly S.vern chaos gate map i know for a fact that luterra and Luen drop from those map

[elfin harness]

"without a crit set"

[maiden locust]

then no

[elfin harness]

bad game design

[rough whale]

Is it possible to have two separate sets for tripods? like a chaos dungeon set and a raid set?

[silver rain]

~~tripod ~~skill tree inventory exists tho not for long

[torpid flume]

do you know if the map type matters for the cards

like blue vs purps

[silver rain]

not sure but prolly the same with legendary engravings eg. Purp has a chance to drop them but not as high as yellow map. not sure about blue tho

[torpid flume]

aight ty

[storm socket]

@marsh meteor fuck no wonder i don't get vernpass. friend did already play months ago and used it, he just deleted everything before i came back

[marsh meteor]

xDDD

[storm socket]

how was that with the punika pass?

the one thats time limited

[vale elm]

How much gold does Vykas NM give?

[storm socket]

german friend so he played on asta

[silver rain]

3.3k

[marsh meteor]

Once you finish punika story line and "berver's friend" quest I believe, you get a free punika pass

[storm socket]

until when do i need to complete it?

[elfin harness]

11/16

[icy yew]

Hi guys how much can I sell a 95 quality, +5 ambush master, +3 raid captain swiftness earring for ? TYVM

[silver rain]

check recent price also when you check dont forget to change quality

[storm socket]

oh? someone did say in october thats why i wanted to be sure

[noble ruin]

What' the ideal engravings for a mayhem or bt 3x3?

[rigid plank]

#berserker is the best place to ask for that

[noble ruin]

No one answered* 5head

[elfin harness]

it's part of the special event tho which goes until then

[pseudo atlas]

current punika powerpass does expire on october 26th

it's not really attached to the express missions at all, the express mission window just mentions it

[elfin harness]

thats counterintuitive af

[pseudo atlas]

that's on par with the rest of the game

[elfin harness]

true

[storm socket]

how long will i probably take from vern to the point where i get the powerpass?

[storm socket]

my problem just now is without vern pass i can't realy test out if i like DB; SH or scrapper more then sorc

[silver rain]

2-3 days if you have resources. about a week if you dont

[pseudo atlas]

that's a problem everyone faces

[silver rain]

event shop should speed things up too

[storm socket]

what level would i probably need with scrapper DB and SH to judge them?

[pseudo atlas]

it's 50 for any class that doesn't feel a significant change from relic gear, otherwise you need 1445 for relic gear (or watch videos instead)

dunno if those classes need relic sets or not but i'd just recommend watching some videos

[dapper geyser]

anyone got any performance optimization suggestions?

[crystal pecan]

Hey guys, is the Sane Kakul-Saydon card used anywhere?

[wraith basin]

n

[acoustic galleon]

Book bonus

[crystal pecan]

oh ok, thanks

[dapper geyser]

for that juicy 0.001% CDR ;)

[storm socket]

something like this?

https://youtu.be/FqwQC1Jb1IU

[acoustic galleon]

6 int/dex and 6 vigor

[pseudo atlas]

possibly, i don't know anything about the class nor the creator so i can't comment on if that specific video is any good

[storm socket]

i mean not like i would know myself as a new player

oh fuck the gameplay from reaper looks fucking sick

[rose magnet]

Hi all, I'm new.
I'm in the EU region and it's saying the server is down when I try to log in. Anyone else getting this?

[silver rain]

restart steam

[rose magnet]

Okay thank you ill try that

Also, slightly bigger issue. Today is my first day playing and the game has been booting me out once like every hour or so with no error message. Ive tried a few things I've found online but no luck. Anyone have experience with this?

[modern beacon]

Anyone know when the "mathematically predetermined time" is for Morlos shop? I've researched it in Stronghold, but not finding much info on it.

[near mango]

how do I unlock splendid panacea recipe?

[radiant flame]

Also I strongly recommend you restart on EUC 🙂

[rose magnet]

Sorry what is that?

[radiant flame]

There are two Europe “regions”

[rose magnet]

Oh central

[radiant flame]

Central and west

[rose magnet]

Gotcha

[silver rain]

workshop lvl 5 (SH lvl40)

[radiant flame]

Your tags are west. But west region is…kind of dead

[rose magnet]

Yeah I've noticed that actually 😕

[radiant flame]

Yep, not the fault of anyone there - just bad decisions by Amazon/SG on launch

I would only play on EUW now if you had specific groups of friends there

[rose magnet]

Nah. I literally only played for like a few hours

Thanks for the heads up

[radiant flame]

Yep, I would suggest restarting on central then if you are enjoying the game and want to keep playing

[silver rain]

Visiting merchant randomly appears on your stronghold if thats what you mean. it takes like 30m-45m after the previous one left for another one to appear and you need to visit your stronghold too.

[rose magnet]

I do indeed. Got well into it. Annoying I keep having these issues though

[radiant flame]

Yeah, sorry can’t help there. See if you still get it on EUCentral. If so, see if someone on EUC chat can help!

Hope you can eventually enjoy the game 🙂

[rose magnet]

Me toooooo! Tyvm

[modern beacon]

oh - so Morlo just gets added to the list of possible merchants? thanks for clarifying!

[silver rain]

yep. the guy from the Morlo shop is Flarke

[modern beacon]

sweet - looks like there are a bunch of merchants like this to unlock (11 or so)

are those the merchants that can sell the legendary runes?

[jade lodge]

I have this characters: DB 1445, bard 1373, soul fist and shadow hunter 1340, sharpshooter 560(dont really like this class), my question is, when should i push my alts? i know alts help but i dont really want them to cannibalize the mats and gold from the main.

[maiden locust]

anyone know if theres a group thread or something for people trying to hunt island souls like illusion/death hold/unkown island

[timber mauve]

I would at the very minimum push all alts to 1370 now

[jade lodge]

whats the reasoning behind it?

[timber mauve]

You get a significant boost in gold at that ilvl and you can start building bound gleaps for later pushes.

[timber mauve]

Your best bet would be your server’s discord.

[blazing plover]

What gear level gets to 1415 for the 3 Chosen gear? This is for day 1 reaper so i can get into a p3 argos

[pseudo panther]

uh, you can buy bus at 1370

[junior kettle]

does anyone know if the ilvl 600 chaos dungeon is bugged? I have run 4 rested runs and have gotten 0 gear drops, 0 rock drops, 0 accessory drops, but have gotten gems, destructions, guardians, and shards

auto-dismantle is off as well, but I haven't even gotten the usual dominion/expertise/endurance garbage :/

[pseudo atlas]

are you quite sure auto dismantle is off

[junior kettle]

yes I have checked multiple times

[merry reef]

is there any other way to get uncommon timber to upgrade your ship other than with pirate coins

[flat dagger]

No.

We got some ship materials in the last Ark Pass and Welcome Challenges, but that's about it.

[junior kettle]

some stronghold merchants sell them in low amounts

[flat dagger]

With the amount you need, it's not even worth the seals and you barely get any at all.

Getting Pirate Coins is simple in comparison.

[icy yew]

Hi guys how much can I sell a 95 quality, +5 ambush master, +3 raid captain swiftness earring for ? TYVM cannot find recent prices on ah for 90 qual +

[merry reef]

Its just get SO expesnive really quick

[flat dagger]

That's ships for you.

But today alone we got 100k pirate coins from login rewards.

[radiant flame]

Check lower quality and guess from that

Swiftness isn’t as in demand though

[merry reef]

100k? how?

[radiant flame]

But nothing wrong with starting high and seeing if anyone bites

[radiant flame]

Sailing coins. Can convert to pirate coins

[flat dagger]

10x Sailing Coin chests, 500x coins in each.

[radiant flame]

Through sun because it’s lost profitable (20 per)

[merry reef]

5k sun coins is 100k pirate coins? what?

[radiant flame]

Yes each sun coin is 20 pirate coins

[flat dagger]

Yes.

5.000x20=100.000.

[merry reef]

I remembered the rate of this being awful, I have a bunch of those chsests

[flat dagger]

The other coins should never be converted.

Just remember that you'll need specific coins for crew as well, and specific coins for specific materials to upgrade the ships.

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/ship-sailing-guide

[merry reef]

yea I know, I already got a good amount of the more expesnive crews and like 100x chests of 500 sea coins + 200x of 100

[flat dagger]

And you're here complaining

[merry reef]

I remembred looking and the rate being awful lmao

tyty

[flat dagger]

You must have thought it was 20x for 1x pirate coin.

[merry reef]

something like that yes, so i never even went to try it cuz it seemed awful

is it same price in both exhanges? anyone know?

[flat dagger]

25x for any unique material, they both sell it though.

[sinful oasis]

Sorry for lazy question but which LoS cards can you get from all abyssal dungeons except gates of paradise? (because f*** gates of paradise)

#info-dump message

Go nuts.

[manic igloo]

Does the transfer from Preordained gear (argos) fully transfer to Entropy / relic gear?

[flat dagger]

It transfers everything yes, except quality.

[manic igloo]

tyty

ah damn, 97 weapon. but ok

[boreal cosmos]

trying my luck.. any EUC players got C/J runes on stronghold and can lend a hand?:D

[flat dagger]

Stay in the stronghold and I'm sure you'll see people calling out some in the area chat, during more peak hours of course.

[boreal cosmos]

area chat on stronghold is linked to other players strongholds?

[flat dagger]

Yes.

[boreal cosmos]

oh thats new for me. thanks

[crisp turtle]

i had conviction earlier, idk if its still there.
idk how u access my stronghold tho

[boreal cosmos]

are you on EUC? I think I can only visit you if I add you to my friends and you're online to accept it

[crisp turtle]

on euc, but not online

[boreal cosmos]

welp, unlucky me :P

[regal valley]

Is both spec kinda even in dmg for scouter? Or is the transform build better?

[boreal cosmos]

transform is cheaper for sure. pretty sure they have similiar dmg ceiling but the non transform one can go higher

if it's an alt the transform build is the play, you only need 2 gems and barely any tripods

[shrewd atlas]

Anyone know how to properly Rapport bomb Azenna?

[regal valley]

Ah okay, I tried some of the drone skills for the drone build but it seems a bit clunky or some reason lol

Namely that carpet skill

[boreal cosmos]

if it's your alt go for the transform build it's so much cheaper
unless you prefer and enjoy more the 2nd build

also, got a blue wealth rune on my SH if anyone needs one

[regal valley]

Oh okay, tyty

[cursive shadow]

How do you get tripods do you get it from marktet

[boreal cosmos]

theres a way to cheese lv 5 tripods by transfering inventory ones

that you buy from the market

but it's a good idea if you haven't setted up your tripods yet, because it can replace up to 2 lv. 3 ones into random ones. but it's worth it for a lv. 5 tripod

[rose jewel]

you usually get tripods from drops at chaos dungeon 1302+, 1370+ dropped armors are purely for tripods alone

[cursive shadow]

Ok how do I use it tought cause it looks a bit confusing

[hoary rivet]

Do we have any info on when PvP will open back up? Really wanting to get that relic pvp charm

[rose jewel]

use it at the tripod npc in any major city

[boreal cosmos]

go to the npc with the tripod icon, usually sits near the honing area
you talk to the npc and you transfer one of your equipped tripods for one of the pieces you dropped from chaos

^ thats how the tripod icon looks

[silver rain]

if you didnt see the roadmap i suggest checking out #announcements they do have some info/summary on the game updates and stuff

[blazing plover]

If fish, excavate and hunt life levels are all above 30, which will grant the most mats per energy to create basic orehas?

[hoary rivet]

Omg I must've completely glossed over that when I read the roadmap. Thanks so much!!

[silver rain]

np it could've been easily missed tbh PvP season 2 announcement was like last sentence on the October plan and thats it

[silver rain]

fishing would be my guess

[cursive shadow]

God why it's so hard to find a party for deskaluda

[rose jewel]

????

[cursive shadow]

No one comes

[rose jewel]

matchmake

if you have bad gear gems etc no one will apply, its the perks of being new, sadly, but matchmaking should be nearly instant

[boreal cosmos]

unless you are 1445+, just matchmake.
If you are 1445+ with relic set, use party finder, turns the fight into a 2-3m fight

[cursive shadow]

Still not 1445
How do I know what skils to transfer and and souch the system is a little confusing honestly

[boreal cosmos]

are you using the correct build from maxroll?

[dreamy bluff]

deskaluda boss is simple enough that party finder isnt needed plus most high gear players just matchmake it too. most of my fight in NAE are only 4-6min(maybe some other regions have longer average times)

[cursive shadow]

Yes

[pseudo atlas]

it's beyond simple, i've only had one deskaluda failure in matchmaking out of hundreds and it was not really because of gear

[cursive shadow]

Yeah did one matchmacke and it went smoothly
Now trying to figure out this skill system

[icy yew]

Thx

[dreamy bluff]

yeah its far easier then yoho and the counters are very predictable with enough time to actually counter it

[pseudo atlas]

i think my average is 3-5 minutes, and it doesn't try to run off twice per fight like yoho (also nae)

[cursive shadow]

Umm do I just see the skill I have on my equipped gear and transfer the same skills but higher lvl from different eqiupments

[mighty wave]

why cant i create character?

[pseudo atlas]

you need to take all your characters out of universal storage

[dreamy bluff]

yep. at least i havent had any bad matchmaking experience. only time i didnt matchmake was when it first came out. since then all my alts just matchmake it

[dreamy bluff]

did you buyy an extra character slot?

you can only make 6 for free

[pseudo atlas]

they have 3, the ones that are locked are open for char creation (compared to the ones that say slot extension)

[rose jewel]

he has 3

[dreamy bluff]

hmm it looks like you did(at least i think)

[pseudo atlas]

it's universal storage, they need to take out all the characters

[dreamy bluff]

oh, is that from the server transfer thing?

[pseudo atlas]

server merge, yes

can't see the universal storage button because they cropped it out for some reason

[mighty wave]

i cant delete in storage right?

[pseudo atlas]

you can take them out of storage and then delete and then take more out of storage

if you have more than 9 characters from the merge then you'll have to get rid of some if you want to make new ones

i'd just keep the 9+ chars honestly

more sources of gold and you don't have to pay for more char slots

[maiden locust]

how can i turn this off

[boreal cosmos]

u can't

[rose jewel]

you dont

[maiden locust]

🤡

[boreal cosmos]

i think it's a safety measure against bots

[rose jewel]

its only 10 seconds

[maiden locust]

it makes buying gems miserable. been sitting here for 30+ minutes already

[rose jewel]

shrugs

[dreamy bluff]

when does that pop up appears? from buying gems only?

[rigid plank]

It pops up randomly, mostly when mass buying stuff sometimes

[maiden locust]

there's basically a cooldown on buying stuff from auction house

[dreamy bluff]

oh ok. ive never gotten it soi wasnt sure what it was. i also never(hardly) buy from the marketplace so maybe thats why i havent seen it

i think ive bought a total of 5-7 items from AH since game release if we dont count engraving books

[sinful solstice]

is the typing test timer in vykas normal and hard the same?

[wraith basin]

ya

[plucky solstice]

is there a way to check if i have grabbed the extra chest when doing argos or oreha?

im missing one piece to push higher but not sure why i dont have enough mats

[ember pewter]

You mean after you have done it and left the dungeon? Don't think so. Other then looking at your inventory and seeing more then 10 bloods (phase 3) or 8 of the oreha items (both dungeons)

[plucky solstice]

im like super super positive i got all the chests and now i have to wait another week to push to 1415 😦

not sure how i dont have enough mats

[pseudo atlas]

did you do p3 argos

or rather are you trying to get 1415 from 1370 in one week

[ember pewter]

How did you make your items? oreha should be weapon + 2 armour. Argos with bonus box and first time chest will make the 3 armour pieces

[plucky solstice]

oh i think thats where i messed up i went with wep from argos

[ember pewter]

Yeah Argos weapon is more expensive and consumes a lot of blood

[pseudo atlas]

did you transfer honing levels already

[ember pewter]

If you have not transferred you can dismantled and get your bloods/oerha items back

[plucky solstice]

sadly yes 😦 oh well its not like i have to wait long next week is in 2 days

[pseudo atlas]

f

[plucky solstice]

well ill remeber next time i push an alt to 1370+

[pseudo atlas]

well technically you could just go to 1415 with 5 leg pieces

[plucky solstice]

i dont have enough mats to push anyway i used them all to go from 1302 to 1370 on this alt

its fine i dont mind waiting till next week

[pseudo atlas]

oh, well it doesn't matter either way then

[plucky solstice]

yup just farm more mats while i wait no big deal

[gleaming tulip]

Lvl 3 gear effects aren’t until elgacia right?

[rigid plank]

correct

[maiden locust]

Yup

[plucky solstice]

how many engravigs at 3 should i have at 1370, 2?

[acoustic galleon]

3 is good 4 is great

[cursive shadow]

What are the sturdier dpses in the game

[plucky solstice]

ok tyvm

[thin token]

fighters are tankyish i believe

[cursive shadow]

Any fighters

[acoustic galleon]

Artillerist has shields and FP has damage reduction on it

[summer knoll]

Hello, just getting back into the game after taking a long break, a bit lost on what to do since all my friends have since quit, currently at GS 1100 on main of paladin and not sure what do in terms of progression aside from msq, any tips on what I should be doing daily?

[fiery zinc]

Do the Gate of Paradise Abyssal Dungeons drop legendary books?

[timber mauve]

Do the following:
-punika msq
-punika chaos dungeon to get t3 gear
-use event to get from 1302>1415
-make more alts and get them to t3

Do both abyssal dungeons on hard mode to get legendary set. Then buy an argos p3 bus to get more legendary pieces.

[terse fulcrum]

why do I have to search so far for a guardian raid boss

[timber mauve]

No

[terse fulcrum]

like how do I just find it instantly

[heavy lily]

Is there a way to buy green class engraving books other than that winter event gaurdian vendor

[rose jewel]

2 is good 3 is great, DONT go for 4 at 1370

[timber mauve]

The battle item flare will display its location on your map.

[spark palm]

is there like a list of sought after engravings on accs? not sure what's good for other classes

[fiery zinc]

if i get randomly warned and kicked from guardian raid by 3 players cant i submit a ticket or some shiet

[brave rapids]

How are people prepping 18 tripods for the upcoming update? Is it by buying a third tripod inventory page? Also how much BC is a page? I'm not online atm to check

[fiery zinc]

piss me off

[low trail]

50 100 and 150 crystals after the one with your current gear tripods

[timber mauve]

Nope
Well, you can but support isn’t gonna do a anything.

[brave rapids]

Will the Tripods on your actual worn gear be "learned" when we go to the updated Tripod System next month? Or is it only the Tripods saved in the Tripods Inventory?

[rain meadow]

no

think of anything on your gear not existing

[wanton needle]

Guys, is there such a thing as spec pally?

[misty fable]

there is but useless, pally skills is high cdr

[cloud pendant]

Is 9/6 stone good?

[rain meadow]

i... dont think so...

[misty fable]

pally better off swift

u can do spec bard is fine cause their skills is lower than pally

[wanton needle]

I see, so pally desperately need that cdr

[median drift]

Does this really mean my powerpass will never expire and I can use it on any of the new upcoming classes or is it a Smilegate special where it will actually expire without telling me?

[pseudo atlas]

current consensus is "nobody knows actually"

[median drift]

If it vanishes I'm gonna be pissed lol

[rain meadow]

feel free to be the guinea pig

[wanton needle]

Use it just in case

[pseudo atlas]

feiton pass expired, first punika pass didn't, and now 2nd punika pass is ???

[cloud pendant]

Can I make 5x3 without legendary engraving with a 9/6 stone?

[pseudo atlas]

no

[rain meadow]

i dont think so

[median drift]

I mean 'expiration date: no limit' seems pretty clear to me but...

[pseudo atlas]

yeah you know the feiton and first punika pass both said that also

[low trail]

Well the punika pass expires this month or was is next

it's in patch notes

[wanton needle]

Sg doesn't have the best reputation for being consistent. Trust no one

[spark palm]

Thanks

[rain meadow]

you need a 9/9 to make 5x3 without legendary engraving iirc

[median drift]

do you think the expiration date was for using the powerpass ticket?

[low trail]

no

[pseudo atlas]

no, because after consuming it and saying no limit on the char select screen the feiton pass still disappeared

[median drift]

so if you dont use the ticket you lose it but once you use it its permanent

[low trail]

it's probably gone if you don't use it before 26th of October

[pseudo atlas]

again we have literally no idea if it will disappear on the 26th

if you actually use it on a character it will be fine though, lv1 char with a class and no advance class picked

[ancient lark]

all event power passes are gone if not used so far

[pseudo atlas]

...first punika one did not expire

[low trail]

this is pretty clear to me

[pseudo atlas]

you are free to believe their words even though they said literally the same words for the feiton and first punika pass but had different end results

personally i would say use it or lose it

https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/xqr92d/ysk_punika_powerpass_expiration_date_only_refers/ see this post and first reply

[median drift]

That does seem clear but then why would it say 'no expiry' on the login screen?

I swear SG does this stuff on purpose just to troll us lol

[pseudo atlas]

that is also a reply to this reddit post

however that implies they planned anything, at all, ever

[median drift]

Imagine reserving a seat at a restaurant and they tell you its done then when you turn up they say 'nah just kidding, we didn't really reserve it for you'

[rain meadow]

and then they wonder why you're a year late to your reservation

[dim pebble]

Is there a research in stronghold to help honing from 1370 to 1415?

[pseudo atlas]

yes, at 1460

[fiery zinc]

Is there a chart to see how much solar materials you can use for each category at a certain gear level?

[dim pebble]

ty

[hidden parrot]

does anyone have tips on fighting argos? ive literally done it dozens of times, read all the mechs countless times and still somehow never get a decent group to pass even phase 1 and literally ALWAYS end up dying

just ready to give it up at this point tbh

edit: lowkey dont wanna bus but i mean 👁️ 👄 👁️

[boreal cosmos]

does t1 tower gives less roster xp than t2?

[hushed sleet]

How much % damage difference like going leg ring to a relic ring with the 2k+ strength stats?

[timber mauve]

To be totally honest, I have no clue why you’re not clearing. The imposter raid is piss easy. Been doing it on 9 characters per week with no issues. Tbh, I really don’t know what to tell you.

[pseudo atlas]

if you're not actually soloing it to 20mins and failing then you're also making a number of mistakes, if you're dying to other mechanics that many times you're a very unlucky person

[timber elk]

do you have to complete t1 islands before going to the t2 islands for resources?

[timber mauve]

No

[hidden parrot]

cool im probably just unlucky with crappy groups, thanks

[pseudo atlas]

not that you should be expected to clear it solo but every single attack and mechanic is avoidable outside of the straight up wipe mechanics, so i've tried to solo at least 10 times up to 15-20m mark with varying results

[hidden parrot]

yeah im only ilvl 1385 so no soloing for me LOL ill just keep trying with diff groups i guess lol ty!

[boreal cosmos]

Anyone knows if you need rapport in order to get 70-80% on South Vern, or hidden story/items/cooking/vista is enough?

[balmy gulch]

how big is the difference in dps between a full relic 1445 and non relic 1445

[boreal cosmos]

huge to insane.
I had nearly 200% difference on my GS

[pseudo atlas]

very significant, how significant depends on the class

[balmy gulch]

destro? :>?

[pseudo atlas]

they use entropy right? that's big

it's straight up damage mods and a lot of them

[balmy gulch]

so below huge and insane? ;D

[boreal cosmos]

I mean as long as it's not an alt sitting very low, if it's your main just push to 1445 asap and open chests from raids to get the relic set

[timber mauve]

Solo as in staying alive until you run out of time. Not failing the raid because of deaths, but because of the time limit.

[pseudo atlas]

i think dominion fang users gain the most damage output relative to pre-relic?

[balmy gulch]

i only just crossed over into 1415 this week and im 1440 now (didnt play in months (arkpass and new event boosted me hard)) i am unsure how to even get relic gear yet, can i prep before im 1445?

[pseudo atlas]

you get some relic gear crafting mats from running normal legion raids, you can't actually craft until 1445

[boreal cosmos]

you need to farm materials by defeating valtan and vykas for that

[balmy gulch]

am i weekly locked from getting a full set, just like i was at 1370

[boreal cosmos]

depends on the set you need, but most of them require around 20 and 40 mats from each boss

[pseudo atlas]

significantly longer time to get a full set compared to 5 or 6pc argos, if for some reason you wanted 6pc argos

[boreal cosmos]

yep, you get like 6-12 per week from each boss

[balmy gulch]

is that assuming i can do them all

[pseudo atlas]

yes

[prime pendant]

can this be fixed pls staff

[boreal cosmos]

valtan is a piece of cake, vykas is a bit harder

[pseudo atlas]

...what's broken exactly? and there are no amazon games or smilegate staff members here

[balmy gulch]

so it can take me anywhere from 2-4weeks assuming i do the maximum content i can do

[ancient lark]

the fastest getting full relic set is 4 weeks?

[balmy gulch]

thats before 1445 too?

[pseudo atlas]

you can subtract 1 week of 1445+ relic gearing for every 2 weeks of full normal legion raid clears you did in 1415+

[timber mauve]

What?

[boreal cosmos]

Keep pushing your main to 1460 so you could do hard mode vykas. HM gives a lot more wings(the materials you need to craft a relic set) and you can also get the chest in the end. Most players already have relic sets on their mains and alts, so you shouldn't have an issue grabbing the chest at the auction

[pseudo atlas]

you get double relic mat drops in hard compared to normal if you open all the boxes

so 2 normal weeks = 1 hard week if you take a while to get to 1445

[prime pendant]

icons and labels not aligned

[timber mauve]

What are we supposed to do about it?

[prime pendant]

laugh about it

[balmy gulch]

im struggling to properly understand this, sorry

[pseudo atlas]

i mean they are aligned, they're just badly aligned

they're probably not going to fix it, have you seen the double space in the crafted gear helmets?

[pseudo atlas]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/903532775200665671/991044210285244506/vykas.png

you get 2 per gate per clear on normal (6 relic mats)
you get 4 per gate per clear on hard (12 relic mats)
you can do either normal or hard once per week

[boreal cosmos]

even in korea they still don't have BR/cube on alt + q integrated dungeon. So aligning the menu?:D

[boreal cosmos]

there are much more needed QOL updates than aligning stuff on the ui lol

[balmy gulch]

@pseudo atlas i appreciate you breaking it down etc, but im worried im not educated enough to understand im probably just really stupid right now

[pseudo atlas]

you've done argos right?

[nimble swan]

hey anyone know where to get striker presets?

[balmy gulch]

yes i have, just loaded up the game to maybe understand better

[ancient lark]

what's your question btw?

[boreal cosmos]

vykas is the legion raid you unlocked at item lvl 1430.
valtan is the legion raid you unlocked at item lvl 1415.

once you kill them, you get their materials like I listed on the photo above.
Similarly to argos, like you get the argos blood.

you need a certain amount of their materials in order to craft the relic set. Each set is different, but iirc most sets require either around 20 vykas materials and 40 valtan materials or vice versa (20 valtan mats and 40 vykas mats)

You can only get around 6-12 materials from each boss per week depending if its hard or normal mode.
At the end of hard mode raids, theres an auction that list a chest with 10 wings/fangs (the materials)

[rigid plank]

#presets and search for Martial Artist and look through them for male

[pseudo atlas]

argos p1 gives 5 crafting mats per week
argos p3 gives 11 crafting mats per week (but you need 1400 or get bussed)
being at 1370 and doing p1 for two weeks is (almost) the same as instantly teleporting to 1400 and doing p3, excluding first clear rewards
in the same way, being 1415 and taking two weeks to get to 1445 but doing valtan twice is the same as instantly teleporting to 1445 and doing valtan hm once

[nimble swan]

thanks!

[balmy gulch]

ohhh okay i see now

[pseudo atlas]

the difference being you can't craft relic gear at 1415 but you can craft all argos gear at 1370 and you can't just get bussed to p3

[ancient lark]

wait iirc it's 35 And 40

[balmy gulch]

are legion raids like argos? p1 is 1370, p2 is 1385 etc

[pseudo atlas]

no

[boreal cosmos]

I am not exaclty sure how much, just dropped the closest nubmer i could think of :P

[ancient lark]

weapon alone need 25 right

[boreal cosmos]

pretty sure its 25 yeah

[pseudo atlas]

valtan and vykas and kakul-saydon are fixed ilvl requirements for each gate, unlike argos phases

[balmy gulch]

oh so im actually over levelled and capable of clearing valtan already? (on normal)

[pseudo atlas]

yes, in fact if you upgrade to 1445 you can just go do hard

[boreal cosmos]

indeed, but if you're close to 1445, you should try hard mode

more valtan fangs and the difference in difficulty between nomral or hard valtan is barely noticeable

[balmy gulch]

can you enter underlevelled?

[pseudo atlas]

no

[boreal cosmos]

no, you have to push to 1445 in order to enter

[balmy gulch]

ah okay

[ancient lark]

over level doesn't guarantee clear

[pseudo atlas]

i hear they're making argos 1385 for all phases though to make things less confusing and annoying to deal with? not entirely sure of the details on that though

[timber mauve]

Roster level 50 1575ilvl zerker begs to differ
gets knocked off in 10 seconds

[pseudo atlas]

if that's not right please let me know

[timber mauve]

First I’ve heard of it.

[ancient lark]

I saw 1525 died in Argos p2 like 3 times

[pseudo atlas]

it's news from other regions not announced for global

[boreal cosmos]

yea, I think it's already live on korea?

[brave rapids]

Korea got the Argos change on like Sept 28 I think

[pseudo atlas]

oh it was only last month?

[brave rapids]

1385 for all 3 phases, and now phases are Gates, so you can come out of P1 and re-group an entire new squad for P2.

[timber mauve]

Good change tbh

[pseudo atlas]

that's great news

[balmy gulch]

thats nice

[rigid plank]

KR changed their system for gear progression to what we have, moving yoho to 1370, same mats for gear, and adjusting argos to gate system and 1385

[boreal cosmos]

thats a massive change

[brave rapids]

Source here: https://forums.playlostark.com/t/argos-changes-coming-to-kr-sep-28-1385-gates/462521

[boreal cosmos]

I wonder if people would still take argos busses like that.

[pseudo atlas]

they will

[boreal cosmos]

I mean, I don't understand why one would take a valtan/vykas bus tho. I doubt there are many players that actually can't clear this raids

[ancient lark]

bus is always nice you just sleep and get your stuff done

[timber mauve]

Time. I took many vykas buses due to working a ton.

[boreal cosmos]

I probably would take argos bus, just because of the hussle of doing it on 3 alts, but legion raids bus? never.

[brave rapids]

It's not about "can't". It's about "won't". Koreans themselves have said they'll sometimes bus cuz they'd rather do something else while getting the ride.

[pseudo atlas]

either for time restraints or motivation or other, people will get the bus if they want to

[balmy gulch]

im feeling anxious about getting into a legion raid

[boreal cosmos]

Just start a learning group

[pseudo atlas]

have you ever played any other MMORPGs?

[boreal cosmos]

people won't blame you for making a mistake. Valtan is easy once you know the mechanics well enough

[balmy gulch]

too many

although im never usually this behind on mmos but im a lot older now

[pseudo atlas]

if you've raided on any of them in low-midcore endgame it's pretty much the same i would say

[brave rapids]

Start a learning group and just be patient. Valtan and Vykas have become braindead chores for me at this point.

[balmy gulch]

thats reassuring

[timber mauve]

Valtan is meant to be an easier introduction into the legion raiding scene. It’s very choreographed so easy to learn.

[pseudo atlas]

step above casual but not mythic tier in WoW, probably lower than savage tier but above ex trials in FFXIV, if either of those are comparisons that work

[balmy gulch]

ive never really been in a position on mmos where i am behind, so it gives me the anxiety of not struggling day 1 release of content and knowing it forever

[brave rapids]

This game also releases raids on a learning curve. You'll feel yourself getting better once you start mastering more of the newer raids. Newer raids will make older raids seem like chaos dungeons.

[boreal cosmos]

Yeah, I did my first valtan on matchmaking because it was like 4am and noone were on party finder for learning groups. We failed cuz had no supp and players didnt know mechanics.

Afterwards I joined some of my friends to an actual group and I was fine but I fell off the map after the map breaks because of lack of knowledge about the fight and mechanics.
2nd week I joined a public reclear group and died as well, but much later into the fight.
Third week till this day, I rarely die in valtan, just in rare cases I get unfocused and miss a mechanic and usually it's by falling out of the map.

In the end, valtan is fairly easy as an etnry point to legion raids in lost ark

Hop on a learning group and get the hang of the fight, if you'd get decent players you could probably clear it in less than 2 hours, if people won't quit.

[boreal cosmos]

I also hoped late into the train (not as late as you), but eventually you'll catch up, don't worry about it ^^

[spark palm]

got to about 50% artisan energy going from 1430-1445 on weapon that's pretty average right? 10% success

[brave rapids]

If you can't get a decent learning group straight out of Party Finder, you could always post in your region's LFG channel in this discord. That's how I found my Vykas learning party week 1.

[boreal cosmos]

yep, I had 3 pity's i guess on my weapon from 15 - 20

[boreal cosmos]

Or create your own party, people still try to learn this fight to this day, so if you can't find any, make one of your own

[balmy gulch]

thanks for the kind words, ill hopefully tackle it before reset!

[brave rapids]

Even if you make your own, depending on the time of day, it may not fill up. The LFG discord's just another option I'm pointing out

[boreal cosmos]

I believe in you :)
If your'e on EUC, I don't mind helping you getting into a group next week on one of my characters

[boreal cosmos]

True, both ways work in the end

[balmy gulch]

i am EUC, that would be cool if you dont mind

[boreal cosmos]

sure np, send me a msg/friend request and I'll help you around. Not sure if i'll be here on wednsday to clear, but someday through the weekend i'd have time to help.
Sadly this week I already cleared all of my valtans, if I'll have enough time maybe i'll hit 1415 on another alt and unlock nm valtan this reset, but thats unlikely.
Try to clear it though on your own, next reset i'll help ^^

[balmy gulch]

sounds good! you dont have to devote yourself at all btw im sure ill get it done regardless. However if the stars do align and we can run one together i dont see why not! just dont hold back on your clears for me

[boreal cosmos]

haha don't worry I got like 4 clears to do, i'll find time to do one with you :P

[balmy gulch]

perfect!

[olive saddle]

Hi when I make a new char in a server so I get a power pass? Or do I have to start from scratch again?

Please

[fading dome]

what is the ideal parking spot to do all gates brel week 1

[rigid plank]

if you're talking about the 2 free vern powerpasses, you dont get them again if you've already used them, once per account. if you're talking about the punika one, it depends if it was already mailed to your main server you play on

[olive saddle]

Ok cuz my friend is trying to switch to m my server

[brave rapids]

Are you guys on the same Region at least? Cuz I don't think there's a big benefit to changing servers. The only thing you're missing out on is like being in the same guild (+GvG) and personal trading.. You can still raid together and stuff on the same region.

[brave rapids]

https://i.redd.it/9q8hseqd2bh91.png

[cloud pendant]

6 gate???? Fml

[brave rapids]

I hear it's common for Koreans to skip Gates 5-6, if that makes you feel better. I'm not sure if that's just for Brel Hard though, or if it's for both Hard and Normal.

[olive saddle]

Is there a pass my friend can buy in lost ark since he’s starting new and he’s lvl is really low?

[brave rapids]

Yeah, it's like $55 for Punika powerpass lol

[cloud pendant]

Why skipping? Too hard?

[olive saddle]

Holy shit

[brave rapids]

You could get lesser Powerpasses for cheaper. Like I think Vern is $10? idk, just check the Character Select screen, and click Buy Powerpass.

[olive saddle]

Is the Vern one a decent 1?

[brave rapids]

It's the bare minimum skip. It just skips the starter story. It'll put your friend immediately at i302.

[olive saddle]

For Vern right? It’s like $20

[brave rapids]

Yeah I guess, I haven't checked the prices since they came out.

It'll just give him the bare minimum of level 50 + some starter gear at ilevel 302

[olive saddle]

That’s for Vern?

[brave rapids]

Yeah

[fair mantle]

Punika powerpass is $50

[olive saddle]

302 is weak? What can I do as 1460 to help him

[brave rapids]

You could 1 shot all his guardian raids for him, or just buy his materials outright I guess. It's pretty fast to go from 302 to 1302 now I think. It's just the Continent Stories that take forever. Each continent is like 3+ hours of story mode

[wanton needle]

Ya, just send him like 500g so he can rush to t3

And afford his purple books

[brave rapids]

He'll still probably get gated by Harmony/Life Shards, I think. Those have always been more expensive than they're worth, and you're better off just doing your daily chaos dungeons for them.

[olive saddle]

He just bought punika pass

[fair mantle]

[brave rapids]

He's already a fish, and he hasn't even started the game

[timber mauve]

The difficulty jumps pretty high for the 6th gate. Normally, it’s not worth the extra rewards for the time required to complete.

[slender stump]

And so the whale has been born

[timber mauve]

I quit some gacha games but I still log on and swipe on characters

The biggest whales don’t even play the game.

[vast canyon]

that sounds like addiction

[olive saddle]

He used power pass punika why hasn’t he unlocked guild yet?

[brave rapids]

It is.

[fair mantle]

What's his level lmao

[timber mauve]

Prolly 50 or something.

[olive saddle]

Whatever he’s lvl from punika pass

[fair mantle]

You don't get any lvl from Punika pass tho

[olive saddle]

Lvl 34

[fair mantle]

So he's level 34 in Punika?

[brave rapids]

Wait what? You get level 50 with all the powerpasses, no?

[median dagger]

is it not possible to rekey Shift to Ctrl for Machinist Drone?

[vast canyon]

say im budgeting for relic gear, how much of a dps increase is full relic jewelry stats vs full lego stats?

[fair mantle]

With Vern yeah, idk about others

[fair mantle]

What class, and are you increasing the amount of engravings

[brave rapids]

I bought a punika powerpass for a fresh level 10 Soulfist, I can confirm it becomes 50 lol

[olive saddle]

I’m trying to figure out how to get him into a guild since he used punika pass

[fair mantle]

Did that make him level 50

If yes he should be able to get into a guild

[vast canyon]

shock scrapper, and yea I'm going to be 4x3 with a lvl 2 ambush master until I finish my lego book for ambush.

[olive saddle]

Ok I see

[brave rapids]

I've never powerpassed on a fresh ACCOUNT. Like brand new to the game/server. Maybe he has to do the guide quests still?

[fair mantle]

A pretty big dps increase then

[fair mantle]

Yeah maybe, not so sure

[vast canyon]

I am budgeting and not going kbw, and going SA due to budget lol.

[fair mantle]

It's still better than legendary

[vast canyon]

yeah that's what my thought process is itoo

[fair mantle]

But tbh if you're actually investing into a 5x3 I wouldn't budget, coz if you're getting that char to 1475, SA as a 5x3 will be rough in clown pugs

[vast canyon]

Yeah that's the issue, I am 1475 lmao

[fair mantle]

SA is troll then

[olive saddle]

Guys he bought the $50 pass how to use it on his death blade ?

[timber mauve]

I wouldn’t budget for a 5x3. Gonna have to redo it eventually. And what’s the point of getting budget 5x3 when no one is gonna let you into a raid?

[olive saddle]

Please help

[fair mantle]

Powerpass in character select, and he hasn't bought it coz when you buy it it instantly uses it

[brave rapids]

Go a 4x3+2 build, using 3 Relics + 2 Legendaries, that'll eventually build into a 5x3. The most expensive parts of 5x3 are usually Relic Class Engravings. You can hold off on those as Legedaries until you have the gold to complete it.

Oh that also requires 1 Legendary Engraving book, forgot to mention.

[vast canyon]

Yeah I have a 7x7x2 stone so I do know I will need a lego book.

[median drift]

Literally unplayable

[olive saddle]

Guys he bought punika pass how can he use it? He can’t figure it out

[olive saddle]

Wired he says he bought it

[fair mantle]

It's already been used I believe, play the character

[olive saddle]

Why is he still 130 then

[fair mantle]

Coz he hasn't played it

[pseudo atlas]

...tell him to press enter

[rain meadow]

looks like it's already applied, he has to go in and actually do all the powerpass stuff..

[olive saddle]

Ahh

[vast canyon]

he just has to log into ti yea lmao

[olive saddle]

Time?

Thanks again

I’m stressing out I’m trying get my friend into this game

[brave rapids]

Just wanted to get a general idea of what's everyone's doing for the Tripod update: Are you guys getting all 18 Tripods? 12? 6?

[misty fable]

depend what class

[rose jewel]

important ones

like, my supports just needed 7 or 8, WD i got all 18

[brave rapids]

How can you tell what classes need all 18?

[pseudo atlas]

18 main, 6-18 alts on main gold alts depending on how much i care...except i haven't done it yet

[pallid panther]

Is that right ? or i did something wrong with calculator

[ancient lark]

yes

[pseudo atlas]

that is not correct, you need to select all the levels you want to upgrade

[ancient lark]

you're wrong

[fair mantle]

Argos gear starts from +6, and you need to select everything from there till the end

[pallid panther]

That seems a lot of shards, i think im forgetting getting reaper to 1460 1st week lol

[pseudo atlas]

it takes a huge amount of shards for the upgrade exp alone

[fair mantle]

Well yeah that's where the main shards are used

[pallid panther]

I've got like 150k saved but im not even in the middle lol

[fair mantle]

150k is like 1430 I believe

[pseudo atlas]

i think like feeding when your gear is +15->16 is 17k for the exp alone for armor, and that's x5

[pallid panther]

Something like that

[pseudo atlas]

yeah i did it like 3 hours ago and still don't remember

[fair mantle]

Yeah 1370-1430 is 140k shards

[pseudo atlas]

super sharp increase at +15 since we got the global honing for up to 1415

[pallid panther]

I knew it was expensive but i didnt knew it was that much

[fair mantle]

Ppl pushed scouters to 1475 first week lmao

[pallid panther]

Credit card ?

[cursive shadow]

Probably kk

Or they had everything ready in advance

[fair mantle]

Yeah most scouter mains were preparing for a long time

[pallid panther]

Well i already got the oreha fusion | destruction | guardian.. need more 200k shard and 2k g leaps

[pseudo atlas]

people have been scouter mains since global launched

[cursive shadow]

In preparing to push my paladin soon from +15 to +17/18

[pallid panther]

I mean, i can buy the shards maybe and the gleaps would that be worth it ? Im trying to farm best as i can, but fell exaustive

[fair mantle]

The worth is only upto you, do you want to push your reaper that high?

[pallid panther]

I dont know, i feel like its the class i've been waiting since the release together with artist

But that might be stupid

[fair mantle]

Your choice, there's no worth for item level really

[pseudo atlas]

if you want to main reaper then it's time to start doing chaos gates every time it's up and keep the bags (or gamble market to sell high buy low)

[fair mantle]

Except after 21 when it starts becoming extremely inefficient

[pallid panther]

I thought about 1460 so i could farm entropy quicker

Since its 4 vykas piece

[pseudo atlas]

whatever you can get reaper up to in the first week to clear relevant content is good enough, higher is better to an extent

just remember that you aren't the only reaper main and a new class is going to demand higher requirements in pugs

[pallid panther]

I know, people already gatekeep a lot, but i would play with a friend to exchange "carry" on 1st week

I feel like i want to invest her into 1460 but i've been putting a lot of pressure doing chaos, boss rush and a lot of stuff so i can burn out before class even comes out

Thats a good price ?

[pseudo atlas]

they're pretty high since scouter came out recently but who knows if they'll dip before reaper release

[silver jacinth]

If you want to stock up on shards consider buying from Mari

[pallid panther]

Well i can save some gold and farm max as i can, and rest i buy with gold, dont know.

[pallid panther]

Looks expensive

[maiden locust]

SA moment

[silver jacinth]

rip SA

[rain meadow]

[pallid panther]

thats more expensive than kr right ?

[brave rapids]

Yes

[maiden locust]

1.5x more then KR

[brave rapids]

I think KR is even inflated right now cuz of the recent new raid right?

[pallid panther]

Not enough whales

[maiden locust]

SA is just beyond help at this point

[maiden locust]

It was for a bit yeah but not so much anymore

[pallid panther]

Thats prob because prices arent regionalized

A skin on lost ark costs 3x more than a skin in league of legends for an example

[brave rapids]

Imagine if Amazon gave a fuck lmao

[maiden locust]

They don't

[brave rapids]

Bingo

[pallid panther]

They did that on new world btw

[pseudo atlas]

they do because it makes them money so it's beneficial to them

they care in the opposite way you want it, like a monkey's paw

[maiden locust]

In no time the only people playing on SA will be whales

[fair mantle]

New raids deflate the economy

It was inflated before Akkan

[brave rapids]

Wait why? Wouldn't people be overspending to meet the new raid requirements?

[fair mantle]

Ppl are spending so bc prices go down

[brave rapids]

Oh so desperate swipers exchange RC to gold at a lesser price, meaning cheaper BC? Is that how that works?

[fair mantle]

Yeah

[pallid panther]

Do you guys thinks prices will go up or down with reaper ?

[fair mantle]

That's why ppl want gold sinks, they deflate the economy

And honing is a pretty big gold sink

[pseudo atlas]

yes

[pallid panther]

Anxious for day 13

[limpid obsidian]

It's unlikely to go down, EVER, unless they make changes to pricing.

[pallid panther]

So either keep the same or increase

[limpid obsidian]

Probably

[pallid panther]

Would be more wise to save gold until her release ? or start buying leaps and shards

[fair mantle]

They should introduce the gold books gold sink like Korea, should be pretty good for the economy

[fair mantle]

With scouter it was like increased prices a week or two before release, but after release pretty much around the same

[brave rapids]

What's that?

[limpid obsidian]

What are these?

[fair mantle]

It's like a a rng bag and you have a chance to drop any gold book, it costs 1.6k gold per bag and you can make anything from 10k to 1g depending on the book you drop, it's not only a gold sink but would also drop prices of class books

[brave rapids]

Ah. Gacha books, got it.

Does it just drop Golds and Purples? Or is it all 4 colored books?

[pallid panther]

That what we need

[fair mantle]

There's like 3-4 different types of bags don't know about each but there is a bag which drops only legendary

[brave rapids]

?!@?#!?@#?!@# ONLY LEGENDARY? wait that's actually a decent gamble.

[fair mantle]

Yeah

[brave rapids]

This has to be weighted so you lose, right? like weighted more towards general engravings, as opposed to class engravings or something.

[pallid panther]

Just for curiosity how much shard can we get considering challenge raid + chaos gates in a week ?

[fair mantle]

Not sure about the exact chances of dropping books, need to ask some Korea player

[pseudo atlas]

i mean to be a gold sink it would have to average lower rewards than gains on average, otherwise it's just infinite gold

[fair mantle]

chaos gate not dungeon

[grim pagoda]

Any clown gate 3 hepers

[limpid obsidian]

It's only infinite gold with infinite players buying engravings.
Since the buyers are limited the gain is too.

Which prolly means the more players doing it the better a gold sink it is :D

[brave rapids]

what

[limpid obsidian]

Chaos Gates are like an average of ~24k Shards per week.

[grim pagoda]

Stuck on my alt charachter arcana 1475 on gate 3 kakul

[brave rapids]

what was your question even? you want help on G3?

[fair mantle]

Time to find a static

[grim pagoda]

Yes

[grim pagoda]

Hard to find static

[fair mantle]

Not rlly

Unless your arcana is undergeared

[grim pagoda]

Well i have my weapon 18

[fair mantle]

Or just run with guildies

[fair mantle]

There you have your answer then

[grim pagoda]

And all lvl 7

5x3

[brave rapids]

Isn't 1475 = +19 on all? You're a DPS with a lower weapon vs armor?

[fair mantle]

Yeah that's what I said, weapon is the problem

[grim pagoda]

Currently true but i am at 68% art

Tapping with the mats i get

[fair mantle]

Well you should've stayed at 1472.5 tbh but in the meantime now find a static or make a group with guildies

[grim pagoda]

I regret pushing it

But the deed is done

[brave rapids]

Well you're a 1475 with a 5x3. You could try applying to random G3 Party Finders and hope nobody looks at your hone distribution. Most people look at Engravings + Gems in Party Finder, I feel like.

[fair mantle]

You can also link your achievement or title

[grim pagoda]

Achievement

[fair mantle]

Since it's your alt

[grim pagoda]

Thought of giving up on g3 but then i feel pointless

[fair mantle]

Well it is pretty much the last day before reset so pugs will be pretty dry

[brave rapids]

You could try this discord's LFG chat for your region. Might be tough to find a G3-only party, but it's possible, I suppose.

[fair mantle]

Make your own maybe, but again last day before reset is rlly hard to find one

[grim pagoda]

Thanks for the help i will be focusing on weapon. And maybe hardpush my arcana 1490

[fair mantle]

Especially a competent one

[brave rapids]

Overgearing is s a good compensation for Kakul imo. There's no huge DPS checks, except maybe G2. It's better to just survive mechanics.

I did Kakul week 1 with 1490, 4x3 legendary lol

[grim pagoda]

:-:

[brave rapids]

i ended up going 5x3 the next week though, so there's that.

[grim pagoda]

Me being a bad player couldn’t complete g3 first week

[brave rapids]

I think I had like 12+ hours of just G3 prog in week 1, and I felt very confident going into it week 2. The hard part is just finding competent pugs.

I could do my part perfectly, but it wouldn't matter if my pug was playing with their monitor off lol

[grim pagoda]

My group of friends we find it better last week we cleared it in few tries

But remembering the 1st week prog of like countlesss hours failing marios hp reversals and showtime L’s and chainsaw deaths

[crisp turtle]

G3 isn't actually hard. It's just very overwhelming at first.
Like anything else, more you do it, easier it gets

[brave rapids]

^ second this. G3 is actually just an information overload, but once you've processed all the mechanics individually, it's very easy.

[grim pagoda]

Tbh i wanna clear it on my arcanaa but

Just can’t do it

Lost as a player

[brave rapids]

You've completed G3 on main?

[grim pagoda]

Yes

[brave rapids]

Then you're fine. You know what to do and what you're looking for. You're just getting used to it on another class, and most likely not getting accepted into competent parties, cuz of how late into the week it is.

[grim pagoda]

Lately all my pugs there’s always someone going 1st time in showtime

[brave rapids]

Have you tried the LFG discord channel? You could screenshot your achievement as proof of main completion, all your gear, etc etc. Or tried making your own party?

[grim pagoda]

I tried making my party 30 mins in party finder its me and 1 guy only

I didnt try discord channel maybe next week after i get my weapon honed i will be more confident in posting myself

[brave rapids]

G3 is not a DPS check. Try posting yourself anyways. Most G3-completers know that it's a mechanics fight at this point.

[grim pagoda]

I will thanks for your helppp

[raven stag]

Hey guys, just got access to special honing, could someone give me some insight on it, when should I use it and how is it better or worse then regular honing?

[brave rapids]

It's a free honing attempt tap. It's downside is that it doesn't add anything to Artisan's Energy, and it'll always be a base hone% tap. It's most efficient to use at lower gear ilevel, because the higher it is, the more Fused Leapstones it costs. So using it at +15>+16 is most efficient, getting worse the higher you go. Most people don't attempt taps on their weapon with Fused Leapstones, cuz I believe it costs ~4x as many Fused Leapstones to try and tap, compared to armor.

[raven stag]

@brave rapids Thank you!

[cobalt girder]

what does crafting great success chance in strong hold mean ?

[fair mantle]

You crafted extra batches, basically a rng chance to get extra stuff

For example when crafting Oreha fusions

[near mango]

how much does an 9/7 stone cost on average?

[maiden locust]

3.7 mil gold

[near mango]

based on what bc price?

[maiden locust]

And rng

[polar spade]

Where or when will I start getting T2 gears?
I'm in Yorn, with full +15 T1 gear and really struggling cuz I was told honing T1 gears over 15 will be a waste

[maiden locust]

You can get it first try or 1000th try

[maiden locust]

Do the yorn msq and then the chaos for new gear

[near mango]

where did you get this number from

[fair mantle]

On average it would take you like 1400-1500 stones, since it's a 0.07% chance, so you can do the gold calculation yourself for that

[maiden locust]

Someone in this discord spend that much to get a 9/7

[polar spade]

so I need to clear Yorn to get my first T2 gear?
seems pretty tough to survive til then tho
is it really worth keeping gears at +15 til then

[fair mantle]

@near mango it's actually 4.9 million gold, assuming it takes 1400 stones with 2.5k bc rate and 1.5k g per stone

[fair mantle]

Surviving what

[polar spade]

Yorn mobs

and dungeons, been spending almost 10 plumes now

[near mango]

do you know if its worth using the stone calculator website or does it not matter?

[fair mantle]

I mean if you're 600 your only other choice is buying T2 gear but that would cost pheons, if that seems worth for you go ahead

[fair mantle]

What's worth

[polar spade]

whoa
I'll push through Yorn with T1 then

[near mango]

the stone cutting probability website

[maiden locust]

Yorn is made to do with 600

[polar spade]

and when can I craft T2 gear? also after Yorn?

[fair mantle]

Idk what your question is, that a 9-7 is worth?

[fair mantle]

You drop it from chaos dungeons after Yorn

[maiden locust]

It's never worth unless your a giga whale who already has everything maxed

[fair mantle]

Yeah going directly for a 9-7 without stopping isn't, most 9-7 owners are just cutting random stones tho not really committed to getting a 9-7

[maiden locust]

Millions of gold for a 5% dmg increase sounds just dumb

Yeah 9/7 is something you just get one day not something you brute force

[fair mantle]

Yeah

[haughty pagoda]

whats the argos partys x3 hit mean?

[sleek vale]

does anyone happen to know how many pirate coins roughly it costs to build astray and upgrade to lv10 from scratch?

[sleek vale]

x3 means your party member number multiplied by 3

[fair mantle]

X3 means your party number times 3 is your clock position for mechanics

[haughty pagoda]

o ok

what does argos have that needs positioning? i just came back to the game so all i know is it changed

[pliant pivot]

phase 1 he does a wipe mech with safe spots on cardinal direction

[flat apex]

what does it mean to sit in a vykas bus

[fair mantle]

Buy a Vykas carry

[flat apex]

?? why not just say anyone wanna buy a vykas bus

[fair mantle]

It's the same thing lmao

[slender stump]

Maybe he's trying to bus it for the first time,🤔

[flat apex]

ok maybe instead it's the lost ark geek vocabulary

[ancient lark]

I heard it's 1.5 mil but idk for sure

[brazen leaf]

What is the crit needed for 1% crit rate?

[fair mantle]

You can calculate using your current crit, it scales linearly

[sleek vale]

1.5m

[pliant pivot]

28

[sleek vale]

nvm I found it on papunika lol. costs around 600k pirate coins and 12k special coins

[covert bramble]

how does valtan bus work for hard mode

is there only 1 gate in hard?

[rain meadow]

still two gates

[covert bramble]

is there g1 and g2 hard bus

[radiant flame]

no they bus you through both gates

[cursive shadow]

Is it worth getting a bus for valten hard ? Or do I try to clear legit ?

[radiant flame]

I mean, IMO no, because valtan is easy

[fair mantle]

Clear it lmao

[covert bramble]

but the stuff doesnt specify?
