lost-ark-help

[radiant flame]

Idk why people don’t just join up in guilds and stuff

[hearty epoch]

Nah i know, but gl getting a group for Valtan normal when people have had it on farm for so long 😛

[radiant flame]

as I said, try to find a guild and make some friends ig

It all comes back to it being an MMO

You could even try to just MM Valtan honestly if you wanted to just have some fun

[hearty epoch]

Yeah yeah, same as people prob not doing raids etc from last expansions in MMOs, atleast people still do the content so thats a big plus!

[radiant flame]

Yeah, all content past 1370 remains relevant to be honest, so there will always be people running them

[hearty epoch]

Excatly so thats kinda cool about LA from other games! However i do think that its pretty hard cathing up. Like i just hi 1415 and how the fuck am i ever gonna buy 1 leg Grudge book when they are that expensive lmao.

[radiant flame]

You get alts

(And grudge is a trap)

LA is an economy game really, and alts are a huge part of your economy

[maiden locust]

hello I just started recently with gunslinger I'm around level 16 and i don't enjoy the class at all. is it ok to reroll or should I keep playing it?

[radiant flame]

Most people who played from the start now have 6 characters earning gold at 1445+ at least

[hearty epoch]

True, we talked about Alts earlier, but doing knowledge trans is pretty hard when you dont have a lot of money.

So you gotta do alts "manually"

[radiant flame]

You can reroll if you want. Level 16 is like, an hour?

[maiden locust]

reroll to euc

[radiant flame]

This

[inner wing]

^

[maiden locust]

do I just put all the rewards on the bank? also what is euc?

[maiden locust]

europe central region

[radiant flame]

You get 2 vern PP, you can invest some rl money and get more powerpassed

[maiden locust]

I already did, I have a level 50 character on euc but I don't want to go back there.

[radiant flame]

It’s tough but yeah, once you get a t3 roster gold becomes less rough

[maiden locust]

why?

euw is 'dead'

[maiden locust]

oh hmmm

ok I'll think about it some more thank you

why dont you wanna go back to euc?

[maiden locust]

ehh personal reasons

[maiden locust]

ok

[maiden locust]

but you say it's dead so I might thank you

[maiden locust]

its dead compared to euc

[radiant flame]

Also this is kind of trying to run before walking. You don’t need leg books at your stage. I’d focus on getting a t3 roster asap if you want to catch up

[flat dagger]

Legendary books are for 5x3 and not earlier than that. We're talking 1460+.

[hearty epoch]

Good guides on creating a good t3 roster?

[radiant flame]

Can always try USE if not EUC. Ping from EU is still playable there (low 100ms or so). There’s just no point playing in EUW

[radiant flame]

Just make more alts.

Lol. Simple as that

You can try to game it and be more economical (same classes, supports)

[flat dagger]

There is no roster synergy, you make what you want to play.

[radiant flame]

But this is, IMO, super boring

You will, however, find it incredibly easy to find parties and save gold on a roster of 5 bard alts

[maiden locust]

but you will quit of boredom after 1 week of playing

[radiant flame]

Some people like it. Idk, it’s not like it’s any more fun waiting in party finder on a DPS class

[snow wadi]

So the advice on catching up is play a roster full of boring supports? 😉 good game

[radiant flame]

I would suggest at least one support alt though - and probably sooner rather than later

[flat dagger]

No, that's to get into parties easily until Kakul-Saydon.

[maiden locust]

You can set some weird macro and have fUn

[radiant flame]

Advice on catching up is to 💳

Supports aren’t boring 🤷🏻‍♂️

[snow wadi]

True, but you're being delusional if you think you could truly catch up
You'll be behind by a decent amount of things and gatekept alot due to missing title, roster level, engravings

[radiant flame]

I don’t think it’s “delusional” - titles can be gained and it’s a one time thing. It’s going to take a lot of time and effort but it’s doable

[flat dagger]

So like every progression game that keeps expanding.

[radiant flame]

Im not advising nolifing a game so you can

Most PF parties will accept supports without titles anyway

[snow wadi]

Na but everyone is trying to be most "efficient" only inviting 30lvl+ to legion raids
HF competing with that when your roster level is also new
Try farming vykas title without having 6 vykas chars per week ready

TLDR: play support or don't start catching up on lost ark at all

[radiant flame]

If the alternative is to give up and not play, that doesn’t feel like very helpful advice

[snow wadi]

If people wouldn't play legion raids as a chore
And instead enjoy the game
New players actually had a chance
But here we are

[flat dagger]

But it's a chore when you have 6x doing HM raids.

Again, you can blame needing to have alts.

[radiant flame]

But if your message to anyone new is that they “have no chance” idk how that helps them

This is a help channel

[snow wadi]

You don't have to
You only have to because everyone is trying to be most "efficient", because that's fun

Na, but you trying to convince others that catching up is a possibility is delusional

[radiant flame]

Right, I’m delusional

[split kayak]

[snow wadi]

If you wanna play Lost Ark and you joined late
You will have to have a high frustration tolerance, because lot of times you'll not be invited

[radiant flame]

With that out of the way, maybe try to help the new players with helpful comments on how they can progress their roster?

[snow wadi]

Sure, get atleast 6 T3 alts asap or quit trying 😉

[radiant flame]

Hey, it’s like what I said before. But you felt the need to call me delusional without providing anything else

[snow wadi]

No, I just said, that you won't ever really catch up
You can still somewhat enjoy the game at your own pace

[trail hawk]

total depends how he plays....

and how much...

[radiant flame]

Now you’re delusional

[snow wadi]

Anyway, now we're running in circles 😉

[vast oriole]

(and if he finds a guild willing to take someone starting)

[radiant flame]

Well, clown week 5, I don’t have clown title yet because I’ve only just started doing clown on one alt. I guess I’m done with the game with no title right?

[snow wadi]

Having friends or a static is 110% the way to go imo

[radiant flame]

I can’t ever catch up

[snow wadi]

90% of the clown groups I see are "title only" already

Look, I'm not saying the whole community is like that. But most

[radiant flame]

Most? Must be nice knowing what 50K people think

[snow wadi]

What's your point?

[trail hawk]

he can make his own group and ppl will join...

[radiant flame]

That none of your comments are actually helpful in a help channel

[snow wadi]

I'd rather not have someone tell me I could catch up when I can't, but maybe that's just me

[radiant flame]

You are making huge assumptions on what someone wants to do, how much they want to play, and indeed on how all the players want to play?

If you think it’s impossible to catch up that’s just not true lol

[somber mantle]

players can't catch up in lost ark? who told u that lmao

[snow wadi]

Uh, no
Check group finder during prime-time, everyone's just rushing to get their chores done

[radiant flame]

Zeals is #1 in KR on WD and he’s barely played the game compared to most people?

Yeah he swiped a lot but that sounds like catching up to me

[trail hawk]

because zeals is huge whale...

most of them korean streamers are; sains, atk...

[radiant flame]

Whatever. I feel like nothing I’ve sad is actually wrong. I said it’s hard to catch up, but there are more efficient ways to go about it if you want to do it as a new player. That’s better than saying it’s just hopeless. But that’s just me

[trail hawk]

play at your own pace, thats it... if you want to catch up, go for it...

[somber mantle]

Your best chances to catch up is during events. You basically get a T3 for free in a week as a new player when we have T1/T2 shard vendors.

[amber spruce]

how do u guys get mats for T1-T2 honing?

[split kayak]

So u want new players to catchup without any effort? no thanks, they wont even understand the game works and mess things up
That's just another reason for old players to gatekeep even more

[amber spruce]

in late T3 gatekeep by title sucks

[somber mantle]

Tower does a lot for shards and the only time I ever consider honing an alt through t1/t2 is during events that give shards

[snow wadi]

You know there's no game to play when there's no new players coming, right?

[radiant flame]

But they can’t catch up so why would they play

[snow wadi]

Well, they're either hoping they could catch up
Big $$
or they enjoy playing their own pace (and being gatekept by shinon, because fuck them new players)

[radiant flame]

Event vendors, shop, and then your normal chaos dungeons etc

[split kayak]

? I'm just saying they need to put effort too. Make alts / swipe / grind or w.e

[amber spruce]

does the current event vendors sell T1-2 mats??

[radiant flame]

They should do.

[somber mantle]

No (I think) that one expired two days ago

Although the event rn has some t1/2 shards i think

[amber spruce]

ye

[somber mantle]

Ohh wait we have t1/2 mats but at the cost of not getting the t3 ones

[amber spruce]

ok... i'll check

[snow wadi]

You can just get that selection chests and pick t1/t2 stuff instead of t3 stuff

[amber spruce]

from?

[maiden locust]

kinda trash that you have to choose tbh

[snow wadi]

Aldebaran Harvest Festival Exhange

[amber spruce]

ok

[somber mantle]

Well tbf we had events for weeks where they didn't have to choose

[snow wadi]

Those are T1/T2/T3 mats, whatever you choose

[maiden locust]

yeah its way beter

[amber spruce]

even the cyrstlals??

[radiant flame]

If you join a guild you can also use guild shop

[snow wadi]

but atleast they're bound to roster now
Can save em for future classes

[somber mantle]

yea

[radiant flame]

You can also get mats from ship

[amber spruce]

not cheap

[radiant flame]

You don’t need many for t1/t2 these days

If it’s your main, you should get plenty from islands

[somber mantle]

lol the t1/2 crystals are barely worth taking though they're so cheap

[radiant flame]

If it’s an alt, I’d just do tower or buy from shop

[amber spruce]

no....it's my last alt rest are 1370 and 1422

[radiant flame]

Then just buy with gold lol

[somber mantle]

Except for the shards, don't buy those

[amber spruce]

hmm i'll check price

[hearty epoch]

RFP thanks for your inputs bro very helpful ❤️

[somber mantle]

And life leapstones u can get from anguished isle (50 per char)

[snow wadi]

roster bound!

[radiant flame]

Yeah shards are expensive. But you can get way more than you need from tower

[snow wadi]

can get 50 per char, even if he's past t2

[amber spruce]

can u do it even after u finished it?

[maiden locust]

challenge abyssal gives like 300 leapstones

[somber mantle]

50 roster bound life leapstones are purchasable PER character

[cloud pendant]

Hey guys. Does artisan energy increase using fused leapstone for honing?

[radiant flame]

No

[somber mantle]

wtf really? for t2?

[maiden locust]

yeah

[somber mantle]

who tf is saying no way to catch up t1/2 is literally so free jesus

[radiant flame]

No we’re all delusional for thinking new players can catch up.

[maiden locust]

tier 1.2 is nnothing when endgame is 1490

[somber mantle]

endgame is 1475 rn

[radiant flame]

Lol when we don’t even have 1490 content

[somber mantle]

but 1415 is literally so easy to achieve

imagine not having to sit through yoho hell for months, lucky mokoko players

[radiant flame]

Or ingrexion hell with dead zone …

[maiden locust]

deska hell isnt much better

[somber mantle]

deskaluda is way more chill

[split kayak]

No it's hard

[vast oriole]

And then no one counter and the boss last for more than 10mins

[somber mantle]

skill issue

[vast oriole]

Agreed

[radiant flame]

It’s like this in all MMOs anyway. It just more brutal in LA because they have tiered daily content which is like, not a complete cakewalk and is inefficient solo

(Specifically graids)

[somber mantle]

even then it only adds a few seconds at most lol if you fail to destruct yoho it's way worse

[radiant flame]

I played PSO2 for years and the 12 man pugs there maybe had 3/4 competent people

And the rest having trash builds and doing no DPS

It’s the same everywhere

LA gameplay is just v brutal and caters to a degree of elitism and gatekeeping is a natural result of that

[polar spade]

so I used the Punika pass and got the 2nd awakening skill on my second toon, is it notmal that the main needs to clear the quest to unlock the skill?

[snow wadi]

Go to trixion

Speak to beatrice
Check Mail
Get 2nd awakening

[polar spade]

got it thanks

[woeful acorn]

before this maintenance when I launched the game I had on the "event notice" tab on server selection a powerpass with no expiry date on it but now I do not?

[ripe sedge]

Questions about hunting and the hunting map. I just entered my first one, saw a few bushes and rabbits.

If I miss rabbits, do they respawn until I kill that rabbit?

How do I know its a golden rabbit?

How do I know there's no more rabbits to be found anymore in the hunting map dungeon?

[radiant flame]

Er, in the dungeon on there should just be a number of rabbits already there, and shrubs which you can interact with to get rabbits.

There is at least one very obviously different coloured rabbit which is golden

I don’t really understand your issues beyond that? I guess the rabbits could despawn but I’ve never had that happen to me. It’s not a very big dungeon so you should have plenty of time and also quite hard to miss rabbits …

[ripe sedge]

Was wondering because when I hunted rabbits in overworld, they did despawn after I chased them for a bit and couldn't axe them in time

[radiant flame]

It’s usually a long time for despawn, unless they come out of flowers which in my experience is a little bit shorter

But there isn’t really any time pressure in the dungeon

[ripe sedge]

Alright. Since I have bad eyesight, it usually is a bit more challenging for me to find and chase stuff.

Last question for the moment. Can I use the maps on a tiny zone like Meteoria to cheese the "fnd secret spot in 1 minute" achievement?

[cursive shadow]

A question when I do horizontal content I only need to complete most of them on one character right for example getting a skill point will I need to to get it individually on any character of course I'm kot talking about Leveling skill points

[ashen kindle]

guys can you get gold from clearing valtan?

[opaque aspen]

If I have to sacrifice to red engraving which one should it be?
Defence reduction?

[sturdy lichen]

anyone getting lower number of gems from boss rush? or drops just not working properly in general

[magic sigil]

what lvl or ilvl do you need to reroll a gem

[silver rain]

depends, atk spd if you can negate/tolerate that, mov spd if you arent using raid capt or using one and can provide the missing stat, def is nice but paring with grudge can be annoying but you can just chug more pot or not get hit

[radiant flame]

Yes on the whole all horizontal content is per roster. I can’t think of anything specific that matters which is character only other than story/side quest progression

All skill point potions are for your whole roster, so once you get them all that’s it

[ashen kindle]

can bard do tower lmao

[radiant flame]

Yes. You get gold from all endgame raids, as long as it’s your first 6

[rugged lance]

Is the Light Of Salvation 12 Piece Awakening (Change damage type to holy) Worth equipping? Or not?

[radiant flame]

Yes. It’s harder but you can

[ashen kindle]

Until floor 50?

[radiant flame]

Only for fights which are holy weak. So g2/3 vykas, and one of the Brel gates

[ashen kindle]

wdym first 6?

[radiant flame]

Yes you can do all the floors. But it is harder. I probably wouldn’t go up that far if it’s a bard alt just for sanity

[ashen kindle]

okay maybe ill let my SH do it

[radiant flame]

You can only earn gold “rewards” - so gold from clearing raid content - on 6 characters in your roster

[ashen kindle]

okay than kyou

i have 4 tier 1 alt lmfao

[radiant flame]

And sorry, also some graids like night yoho, velg. But yeah otherwise use lwc 12 until you get los18

[radiant flame]

Ok. It still applies to stuff like abyssals - which are your gold earning content in lower tiers

[gaunt basin]

How do I get the free punika pass?

[radiant flame]

You can’t

[gaunt basin]

why does it say it then?

[ashen kindle]

really thank you

[radiant flame]

You get a vern pass

You did get a punika one with the previous event but I think that’s gone

So idk where that message is from

[radiant flame]

Right. I don’t know. Might be a hangover from the previous event

[gaunt basin]

ahh ok thats a shame thanks

[radiant flame]

There was a free punika pass but that expired this week on reset, sorry

[gaunt basin]

yeah i missed it by one day

[worthy cargo]

Wasnt there a channel for in game bussing? I cant seem to find it

[buoyant herald]

it has been removed

[umbral sapphire]

Was chaos line quest removed? I tried talking to Jeneca for the quest but the quest is not showing up.

[ashen kindle]

guys i have SH Pala bard scrapper Alt what should i add next? lool

[peak glade]

what is worth to open? only last chest in legion?

[maiden locust]

If T2 honing is already 100% success, does worth to start the T2 honing buffs in the stronghold?

[peak glade]

are u sure is it 100% at every level? maybe last 5 levels are not and stronghold boost em

but idk really

[silver rain]

only XP to save some silver/shard

[maiden locust]

Yes, it's 100%, thank you @silver rain !

[peak glade]

happy to know it, for new accounts doing t1-t2 must be boring as hell, imagine with normal rates xD

[merry reef]

So if im trying to craft purple pots, is it less efficient to use the SH farm? would it be better go get normal flowers?

[buoyant herald]

crafting anything from stronghold farm is A LOT less efficient

[silver rain]

EUC market it is worth to open all gates for mats if you're pushing but if you want raw gold none if you've already completed the set maybe last gate to stock up fused leap

[ripe sedge]

Getting the hang of the rabbit map stuff, got the "find it in 1 minute" achievement on Mercia.

Now I'm wondering if the different tiers of maps gives more rabbits? I see about 10 rabbits in the T2 maps I got from Eternity Isle, so will the T3 maps I got from Punika have more rabbits?

[ashen kindle]

can all of your alt run tower? and still have rewards?

[silver rain]

yes the rewards become mats for the alts

[ashen kindle]

so if i have 5 alts on t1 they can all do tower and all of them have the same reward?

[silver rain]

yep

[ashen kindle]

okay thank you

[peak glade]

thank you,

[radiant flame]

Same rabbits (you get some RNG from bushes which can spawn 1 or 2). Higher tier only matters for the rare item you get

[charred notch]

qq for tripod update prep, if i have completed saving all the tripods that i need, i don't need to save the tripods on my current gear right?

[radiant flame]

Yes. Only inventory matters

[charred notch]

i just asked since i got confused on some people saying that you need to atleast save your tripods on your current gear first

[ripe sedge]

Appreciate all the advice, RFP

[radiant flame]

I think it’s just because some people have their important tripods on gear

Given your gear will usually be equivalent to one inventory page anyway…

[ripe sedge]

Heard tripods already on your equipped gear won't transfer to library in tripod update, so I'm assuming gotta save gear tripods to 1st page

Could be wrong

[radiant flame]

No that’s correct. It’s just that, in one scenario, you can just save stuff into inventory. Your gear could have crap on them

You don’t have to have any (good) tripods on gear

I don’t see why you wouldn’t, as the transfer is currently free

[silver rain]

as long as you have ~18 tripods of what you need in the inventory when the patch comes you'll be fine

[radiant flame]

Well, at least 12. 18 requires an extra page unless you get double 4s

But yeah

[azure lintel]

is there a honing calcalutor that gives the expected cost going from say +12 to +18?

[radiant flame]

Maxroll

[azure lintel]

where do you put the starting refinement of your gear?

[ashen kindle]

bard cant even do stage 10 tower T.T

[inner wing]

??

[silver rain]

its probably cheaper to buy extra slot than double 4s for most classes

[radiant flame]

I think it’s on “multiple item”

You can highlight multiple upgrades

[azure lintel]

that gives the price of going from +0 to +x

[radiant flame]

Pheon cost too? You can get some good deals I think

Depends on what’s on offer I guess

[radiant flame]

It should give you a grid of items, and you highlight on the grid what you want

There’s also a honing reference sheet on Reddit if that fails

Though I don’t know if one is updated with new global buffs, maybe not

[azure lintel]

so this is the cost of going from +12 to +18? It looks like its just the cost of doing a +12 set and a +18 set

[radiant flame]

No you have to highlight everything in the middle

[ashen kindle]

are deadblade cheap?

[radiant flame]

So highlight 13-17 too

[radiant flame]

Middle-high

[digital escarp]

does this include raid bosses?, or is this more for the random mobs like chaos dungeons

[radiant flame]

High cost from being a spec and popular class

[ashen kindle]

is it okay to get 2 SH on alt?

[radiant flame]

Surge is slightly lower because you don’t need as many attack gems

[azure lintel]

Oh I get ya

[radiant flame]

Yes if you want

[ashen kindle]

thanks

[radiant flame]

No that’s for random stuff

[umbral belfry]

does any class use this combo?

5-3 spec looks good but im not seeing anything atm

[radiant flame]

I wouldn’t have thought so unless some weird cheap arcana build

PD is just a bad engraving

Nobody uses it late game

[umbral belfry]

yeah, it's p rare a class needs it.

[radiant flame]

I mean, no class needs it

It’s just a budget engraving that is worse than other options

[umbral belfry]

Pistoleer uses it lol.

[radiant flame]

Oh I guess blue GL can run that ring too…if they wanted to go PD lol

[ripe sedge]

Oh, one more question about rabbit hunting maps. Can we get world leaves from rabbits inside the hunting dungeon?

plat tix too

[radiant flame]

I have no idea. Probably. Both of them are rare enough that I wouldn’t worry about it either way

It’s not like you can “farm” any of those things.

The rabbit dungeons are good to do as they’re quite efficient if you want those materials. Not sure anything else matters beyond that

[ripe sedge]

I was just wondering cuz I just got level 30 hunting and had like 10 of these maps already to use

[radiant flame]

Shrug just do them if you want.

[ripe sedge]

and I think I like hunting to make me Oreha stones for honing, every rabbit I kill in the dungeon always drops the fusion stones

[radiant flame]

Oh, I wouldn’t use hunting mats to make them

[wicked juniper]

What engravings would be best for an alt demonic impulse 4x3 shadowhunter ?

[radiant flame]

They’re more valuable than fish

So if you want to hunt, sell the hunting mats and then buy fish

[ripe sedge]

So base fish + oreha fish = best / cheapest to craft with for fusion stones?

and curious, why are hunting mats valuable?

[silver rain]

yea good deal once in a while but they are mostly 15k+ (used to be 40-60k+) while buying another page (which gives another 6 slots to save in case you drop a piece yourself but already have one saved up for that piece) and 7 pheons for a new gear is about 5-6k but yea totally depends on classes and what tripod you're looking for

[radiant flame]

Orly? Interesting. I guess we might be looking at different classes. I buy doubles if they’re around 5-10k

[main bronze]

Any Infos on the powerpass situation ?

[radiant flame]

I found a triple for DB yesterday for 10k - untradeable - but too good to turn down

[radiant flame]

Which situation?

[radiant flame]

I think fishing is yes - might be close to excavation. Hunting mats used in other things like stronghold feasts

[radiant flame]

DI grudge adrenaline hit master? Lots of options. Can use CD, KBW, raid captain

[pseudo atlas]

wouldn't it cost less to buy 3 pieces of gear that you could resell instead?

[modern beacon]

Any idea how to complete this? It won't let me interact with any of the quest indicators (look, purchase, etc) and it doesn't open the note when I press RB+L either.

[radiant flame]

But it let me fit all my tripods into 2 pages

[pseudo atlas]

how much is bc on euc?

[radiant flame]

2500? Rough guess

[pseudo atlas]

that's like 1250g for an extra page then

[radiant flame]

27 pheons is what, 6k?

[pseudo atlas]

yeah at 2500g/95bc

[radiant flame]

I guess it’s more about saving 18 pheons so 4K

Shrug doesn’t seem awful still

But yeah, maybe I overestimated saving the extra page 🙂

[silver rain]

are you holding the bardcode scanner thingy if you do put it down first if not just try swapping char back and fourth

[modern beacon]

🤦‍♂️ you are right - I was lol

[shell galleon]

DI, grudge, adrenaline, kbw is best

[languid mesa]

anyone have this region unavailable error?

[noble ferry]

does anyone have the link for the stone calculator?

[cunning loom]

how do i make the gear set conversion to show up, its not on my charater profile

[wheat trench]

How many Argos blood we get per week after first clear?

[crisp turtle]

11 from p3, another 9 from the box

[crisp turtle]

There's a purple guide quest you need to finish first

[cunning loom]

yea i just learned that after crafting myself a whole betrayal set, sadge

[ripe sedge]

Is a gear with 2 +4 tripods worth 5k gold to buy, especially that I would be able to transfer it to a freshly crafted gear with all junk tripods?

[south lintel]

do you have multiple chances to get the secret map from kohinorr in one day? or only on your first field boss kill of the day?

[crisp turtle]

Depends how useful those tripods are. If they're both priority tripods, it's probably worth it.
Hard to say without knowing what you're looking at, some classes tripods costs vary massively

[crisp turtle]

First kill only

[silver rain]

if you unlock the 55 pieces each you can transfer your betrayal to your main set etc and dismantle the +0 0 quality one to get relic mats back

[ripe sedge]

Its for 2 of Tai scrapper's primary core skills

[crisp turtle]

It's probably worth it.
If you consider that buying it saves you 9 pheons, you're already saving like 2k gold compared to buying them separately.
It also let's you get another +4 tripod in your library without spending blue crystals

[ripe sedge]

Thanks. If I bid on it, does the timer get extended? If so, by how much? I've never bid on AH items before. Only end-of-raid stuff

[river ravine]

is it possible to get two legendary rage rune

[fair mantle]

There's only one currently

[river ravine]

thnx

[crisp turtle]

Timer gets extended only if you bid in the last couple of minutes or so

[ripe sedge]

Extended for another day? Or a few more minutes?

[fair mantle]

By couple mins

lol imagine it extended for another day

[ripe sedge]

Haha, sorry... Gonna be my first time trying this

[minor crown]

20 mins max

[digital escarp]

so i'm buying and saving the lvl 4 tripods i need for my character rn, do i even bother saving what i have on my armor right now into one of the free slots? the ones i have on gear is all lvl 3 (sry if its a little confusing)

[fair mantle]

No need if the same tripod is being bought level 5 of

[limpid obsidian]

Less of an obvious question, just curious what ppl think:

Which is better?
+15 Spec (mainstat) and +3 negative engraving for 15k
or
+2 negative engraving for 10k

How much is the lower negative worth?

[fair mantle]

Depends on class and if that negative leads you to getting a level 1

[limpid obsidian]

Ofc, this assumes no lvl1 neg

But it will ofc restrict your other choices

Cuz 1 less point to work with

[fair mantle]

Is this from a selling pov or buying

[limpid obsidian]

Buying

[fair mantle]

Then depends on the class

[fervent whale]

Here’s a spreadsheet of specialization scaling

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eWjsvJfNlJ-BfZwQQEklVL1hmZOXHch8h0B85Z9Wi1k/edit?usp=drivesdk

[fair mantle]

You can get the higher spec one if it fits all the other malices (don't buy it yet find and pin first), GL spec scaling isn't that big tho

The awakening and shield part specifically is pretty insignificant

[fervent whale]

You can also test out the difference in trixion first and see if it’s noticeable

[limpid obsidian]

Doubt it is. Diff is like +0.5% damage and shield guage

[fervent whale]

If the only difference is cost (no malice activated), then it seems like a personal decision

[limpid obsidian]

Aight, was hoping for some spicy opinions
Thanks anyway

[limpid obsidian]

Btw, no need for a sheet for that. About as quick to just calc the numbers on the fly whenever you need em
You just divide the % bonus number in the tooltip with your stat total and you have the amount per stat point :)

[maiden locust]

I am a mage and gear level 1430. Do I have to continue leveling my gear?

[crisp turtle]

levelling your gear is how you'll increase you're ilvl further

[buoyant herald]

yes you need at least 1445 to craft relic gear

[buoyant herald]

and after that you would just keep pushing it
transfers to relic at 1:1 and honing further costs the exact same so no point stopping

[maiden locust]

ah ok. Thanks for the info!

[buoyant herald]

[fervent whale]

True, though I couldn’t remember if spec scaled linearly or not

I think all of the stats do, but they have diminishing returns?

[buoyant herald]

what was yoru initial question ? 🙃

all stats scale linearly just some can hit a cap where you dont need more like crit

[limpid obsidian]

Linear scaling, but since they're additive with themselves each additional point is less relative bonus than the previous one

That's why for example, even though 15 Spec is ~2.3% extra damage on Blue GL, it's only +~0.6% relative damage (2.3/360)

[stuck galleon]

hmmm is stagger applied on the original hit of a skill or subsequent as well? Ive been pondering about certain skills from the destroyer...

or, if a skill leave a pool of DOT... do the pool also affect stagger damage

Things like gravity pools left by neutralizer, toxic pool from arty nuke, etc. Or even the multiple rocket launcher from an arty, is stagger applied per rocket hit or as an overall

[low trail]

for MRL I'm like 90% sure its per rocket

[stuck galleon]

i think so too

but something like this... would the 3 shockwaves apply stagger as well?

and by not using a combo attack of 3 hits, am I losing stagger damage or are the 3 shockwaves covering the loss?

[low trail]

can you stagger in Trixion?

if so you can go there and test it ^^

[pseudo atlas]

on boss monsters, non-scarecrow

i'm like 90% sure it's stagger on each hit though

[stuck galleon]

wish they could give us a scarecrow we can adjust stuff on

HP / stagger / destruction

so you can test fun builds with disrespect and all that jazz

[pulsar plaza]

does reaper use raid captain?

daily quest on the new island

Can GTX 1650 mobile, ryzen 7 3750H and single channel 8 gig ram run the game on 60 fps on 1080p?

[pseudo atlas]

it is a new permanent island, just go there since you want to get the event rewards anyway

[trail hawk]

the daily quest doesnt really matter since youre getting those mats from daily chaos and guardian...

[night radish]

Where do I go to achievements to find out if I did Pioneer of shangra Quest?

Having a hard time getting that levitation emote

[thin token]

J to acess quest journal , then check ur completed quests list

[thin token]

or if u want achievements its alt + O

[night radish]

Thank you so much I don't see it here I did 11 Quest in Shangra but still it's not I don't know where to go to find it to do it

[vast dew]

if u take screenshot of the achievements i might remeber where it is

[night radish]

Ok

[livid mirage]

What is the next ilvl requirement for gear after 1415?

[vast dew]

1445 i think?

[vast dew]

thats not achievements, click alt+o

[livid mirage]

Thank you.

[vast dew]

@night radish to get levitation emote, u need to do 3 shangra dailies 10 times

[vast dew]

ok it seems like uve done 2 of them

@night radish https://youtu.be/qaobhfybVbI watch this video and see if u done the 3rd one

so far it looks like uve done the deer and waterfall but, but ur screenshot doesnt show the panda one

[night radish]

I've been there a hundred times over

I even almost have enough for another cloud crazy

[vast dew]

damnnn xD

[night radish]

I feel like giving up on that amount I've seen so many videos on how to get it but something is wrong I need to see the quest to get it I need to find where the quest is Pioneer of Shangri-La

Sorry not amount emote

I'll go look at that video again but I think I need to do the quest for it to work

[vast dew]

u need to complete 3 shangra dailies ten times each for a quest to pop up. have u confirmed uve done all 3, ten times each?

[night radish]

I going there and doing everything would count as one I guess I'm doing it wrong

[young sluice]

Anyone know if you can library tripods of other classes and if you do will you get the select tripod thingy when they roll over to the new system

[vast dew]

ohhh ik what u did wrong

u need to collect all the taoist essence

i would watch a video on the locations of those

[night radish]

Ok ty

You mean go to all the secret spots right

All caves

Thank you

[vast dew]

yep

there should be a guide on youtube

[digital escarp]

did they change how much the dye costs per piece now??
edit: i might just be braindead idk

[maiden locust]

hi, do we really need an icebreaker to go into frozen sea?

[sharp spear]

yo guys is there anyway you can still buy the achatameow hoodie?

[limpid obsidian]

Generally: yes.
More hits = more stagger.
Not a lot more on most skills, it varies.
This might be outdated, but it's still a good guideline:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11RMrVW6dtz2UmB9_n3UFLRwoEJWzzFF-kY2_gGhfKrg/

[buoyant herald]

you get it from the guide quest that lets you enter there its an icebreaker ship
only need it to enter the first time

[stuck galleon]

ya i have it, very outdated tho

[maiden locust]

ok thanks. Because my estoque is higher level, prettier, and had more frozen sea resistance 🙂

[buoyant herald]

[brave rapids]

[velvet cairn]

Since when do i need to pay someone gold just to play then the raid?

[azure sundial]

is rohondel the only continent gated by unas?

[loud dagger]

Can anyone repost the sheet with how much mats and silver per item lvl u get?? Saw it somewhere here

[buoyant herald]

its called a bus
you pay them money and afk they clear it for you
you dont have to pay anyone if you do it normally

[velvet cairn]

yeah cause no one is playing when you search

[silver rain]

if you mean Adv. Tome there's also yorn

[buoyant herald]

just make your own party and wait
most low lvl content is dead by now

[velvet cairn]

its valtan

[buoyant herald]

there are plenty of valtan groups that are free

[azure sundial]

thank you, just trying to figure out which continent i should work on next. I have rohndel, yorn, feiton, punika, North/South Vern, East Luttera, Arthetine left

[silver rain]

my advice is working on Yorn asap tho cuz the the rate for food is just hideous

took me 81 days to get 'a' meat might be faster if you do it on multiple chars but well

[vast dew]

u can also get that one ship skin

[vast dew]

its from pet farm exchange

[azure sundial]

lol oh heckno, dont tell me that

[vast dew]

yea the drop rate for the meat is horrendous xD

[maiden locust]

is the estoque a good ship to level up? Or better keep my upgrade material for another one?

[vast dew]

yea it is

get it to lvl 5 if u can

[maiden locust]

already at 5

[vast dew]

astray is a faster ship but theres a lot of requirements for that and its expensive af

[vast dew]

u can keep lvling it if u r far from astray

[snow wadi]

endgame is basically one of 3 ships
Estoque - good allrounder
Eiberns for the lazy folks
And astray cause it's the best but requires heavy investment

[maiden locust]

how do I know if I am far from astray? 🙂

[vast dew]

u need to complete like 2 unas daily, max rapport w blackfang and shit ton of pirate coins just to build the ship. then u gotta spend more to get the bis crews

[maiden locust]

ok I am far from it. 🙂

have not even started rapport with blackfang

[vast dew]

yea dw i dont have it yet either xD

ive been slacking xD

[buoyant herald]

its like 500k coins just to build the ship
and ~2 or 3 mil to lvl it to 10

[maiden locust]

and why eibern for lazy?

[vast dew]

its good for the deadwaters i believe

[buoyant herald]

you only need to do a weekly and you get it its pretty easy
and its a good ship with very high resists

[vast dew]

but its slow af

[south jungle]

Guys what is the best way to get ohera fusion material?

[vast dew]

craft it w fish

[maiden locust]

ok thanks

[buoyant herald]

compared to maxed out astray with full crew anything is slow XD

[south jungle]

but it cost gold

[buoyant herald]

my ghost ship goes at 30.2 knots its pretty good and its just a lvl 7

[vast dew]

its still cheaper than u buying it off the market, that cost gold too

[south jungle]

thanks

[maiden locust]

you do not fall through the floor? 🙂

[vast dew]

dont have an astray but ive seen ppl zooming w it 👀

[buoyant herald]

yeah but those are lvl 10's with perfect crew its like 3 mil pirate coins in total XD

[vast dew]

u can also set up ur SH gatherables to craft oreha chests

[buoyant herald]

i can outsail some shitty astrays on my ghost ship

[maiden locust]

can we unlock the second part of the speed boost?

[silver rain]

lvl 7 ship i think

[maiden locust]

ok thanks

[crimson bolt]

Hi Guys,

Am new to game, I have a question about Knowledge Transfer.. I have a Deathblade at 1370. I decided now I want to make a Paladin alt.

It is greyed out to level it up, can anyone explain? Is there a restriction I'm missing? How should I go about this?

[radiant flame]

You have to get your paladin to stronghold to KT it

[crimson bolt]

I'm in the Stronghold on the Paladin now - I can knowledge transfer to the top section only, is that intended? I thought someone said I can go to Punika.

[silver rain]

apart from Vern KT you need to hone to required ilvl

[crimson bolt]

On the Paladin..?

[silver rain]

yes see the gear ilvl required at the bottom right of each continent?

[crimson bolt]

Yes I do. So how can I achieve that without doing all the story/quests anyway?

[radiant flame]

Buying mats and honing

[crimson bolt]

Can I hone tier 1 gear to 1100?

[radiant flame]

No

[crimson bolt]

How do I obtain higher tier items if I can't enter anything on the Paladin?

[radiant flame]

But you can hone to 600 and then buy tier 2 gear

And then hone that

[crimson bolt]

Do I just buy this from the Market or something?

[radiant flame]

What do you mean if you can’t enter anything f

[crimson bolt]

Chaos Dungeons, Raids, etc.

[radiant flame]

You can?

[crimson bolt]

I can't.

[radiant flame]

You can enter tier 1

[radiant flame]

You haven’t finished KT

It’s not instant

[crimson bolt]

When it completes does my gear go to 250, or do I have to quest to get gear.. or do I just hone the starter items?

[radiant flame]

You get 302 gear

[crimson bolt]

Ah okay.

Thanks a lot for your help.. Still trying to learn everything.

[radiant flame]

so there are two ways of getting to tier 3 with KT. you can either - hone to level and KT each continent, or you can skip rohendel and yorn, manually do feiton, and then KT punika. you can do this by buying tier 2 armour from the market at level 600.

[verbal galleon]

in stronghold do we need gold to craft stuff? i was lvling my strong hold which is lvl 5 now in quests its asking me gold to craft something

[radiant flame]

you have to do feiton because you can't KT without completing the previous continent (either manually or through KT), and punika KT will complete the previous continent storylines as well so you have access to gems

[radiant flame]

yes, a bunch of stuff will need gold to craft

[crimson bolt]

Ok thanks for the info. ^^ Have a nice day.

[verbal galleon]

lol i am 32 lvl i havent seen 1 gold so without it i cant lvlup my stronghold?

[radiant flame]

then don't worry about it for now. you can probably still despatch stuff

that doesn't cost gold

[verbal galleon]

ok

cant i do 2 or 3 upgrades on stronghold @ once?

[radiant flame]

upgrades? you mean research?

you can, once you upgrade lab and get more research slots

[verbal galleon]

yeah

[radiant flame]

it really doesn't matter right now. just play the game...

[verbal galleon]

i am @ lvl2 lab

[radiant flame]

stronghold isn't something you complete early on

[slate flint]

uhmm i would like to know which server is best for SEA? i mean like EU or NA

i also only have 1 but i am pretty sure i should have 2

[rose jewel]

limited time gift earlier in the game and event iirc

[somber mantle]

no fucking way it was limited time

i am pretty sure i had it

[solemn crane]

If I already have mass increase, is cursed doll or raid captain better as 5th engrav?
Pinnacle

[radiant flame]

Raid captain

Cursed doll doesn’t stack with MI

Well, not multiplicatively anyway. It’s additive.

[solemn crane]

got it ty!

[crisp turtle]

That all depends if you're hitting breakpoints for Raid, if you're not, then CD is probably still better

[sullen spire]

i have the winter one but i'm missing the choose box

im actually losing my fucking mind i want it so bad on my destroyer

[void cove]

So I just reached level 50...Got any tips for me? I am a Sorceress

[crisp turtle]

the winter one is the choice box

[sullen spire]

LMFAO it was ._. thank you so much i wasted like at least 2 hours looking through like 9 alts

i keep all my costumes for artist release so

[somber mantle]

wait no shot there were 2 mokoko skins no??

[wary relic]

Hi All, Im looking for some advice on the special express mission.
Currently, I have a scouter that I used the punika pass and special express mission on. It is currently 80% done the special express and is at 1390.

However, I want to delete it, and replace it with a scrapper that I have yet to create. I also don't have anymore character slot, so I would be deleting this scouter to free up a slot for the scrapper.

Am I able to "change event character" after I delete the scouter?

This message also confused me too. It sounds like I can start all over?

[whole hedge]

any help please ? i cant get on the game

[rose jewel]

keep doing the story until you cant, hone, story, hone story etc until tier 3, imo reaching tier 3 on your first char is the first thing you should do (and if you can and want, making alts is also good for the future)

[sick thunder]

you can verify steam files

[whole hedge]

how to do that didnt found it

[rose jewel]

you can switch the express event ONCE, ONLY, ONCE, you can't switch from 1 to 2 then to new 3, that's 2 switches, you're kinda fucked unless you kill one of the other chars or buy a slot tix

[sick thunder]

right click the game and select the last option

local files and there you can verify game integrity

[whole hedge]

tysm im doing it ❤️

[wary relic]

Got it. So i'll have to do a separate slot and make the character first, and then swap. And the swap will only be laterial. Aka go back to "tier 3" of the special express mission reward.

[solemn crane]

How can I check what skill points I'm still missing out on? I can see I have 390 points, but when I search up skill pots, I'm only missing 3 greater skill pots (total 18 points), but the total possible should be 414

[rose jewel]

alt+D

[void cove]

Tier three meaning all my powers leveled up correct? Sorry this is the first mmo that Ive really gotten into. I do want to finish the story though, so I will keep doing that. My husband is big into mmos and keep asking me things about the game and im like idk D: he likes raiding and I was like I dont think you can do that til level 50. When is a good time to start doing those?

[wary relic]

Sorry one more question. Currently, I can only KT up to feiton. But I can buy a powerpass to complete punika?

[rose jewel]

you need to have that alt on tier 3 as well, since the event is for 1302>1415

yes you can buy a PP to punika if you so desire, you can PP a newly created char anytime, the more continents that char has done the less its gonna cost, for new chars its 5500 RC

[shadow grail]

If I completed this event on myy main, can i change the event char of this to an alt and use it to have cheaper honing and stuff?

[somber mantle]

my guy censored his name in one spot only

[rough prawn]

💀

ayo dont call him out liddat

[rose jewel]

Tier 3 means when you powerup / upgrade your armors, like, at level 50 fresh, you dont yet have armors that can be honed, after finishing Shushire continent you will get a box with armors and weapon of base item level 302, that's the armors you can start honing and that's the beginning of tier 1 officially, you will be upgrading those to +15 each, finish a continent, get new armors base 802, hone +15, story, get a new set etc etc

[pseudo atlas]

there's no honing buff linked to the event so it doesn't matter at all

[shadow grail]

really? I had 2 discounts when honing on my main

one was called like event discount

[void cove]

Ohh okay, I understand. Thank you for your help

[rose jewel]

and yes, once you get to tier 1 you can start doing your called "Homework" here for the vets, Guardian raids, those are the first mini "raids" you can do with up 4 players, but the real game doesnt start until you hit item level 1415, which is quite far but the game gives you a lot of 1 time resources to get there fast

Legion raids are the real deal and the fun part of the game, any questions you both may have feel free to ask in here

[wary relic]

Sorry just a little confused. So my options to completing punika quicker is either
a) buy a powerpass and powerpass a fresh character past punika or
b) Use knowledge transfer to KT a character to feiton. And then manually get it past punika?

[rough prawn]

yeah i wouldnt play this game without hte legion raids

[rose jewel]

we all did day 1

but idk when you joined the game

[rough prawn]

i joined 1st day but quit after 3 weeks

[rose jewel]

the B) is: You need to manually clear feiton and then KT punika, you cant KT a continent without the previous one completed

[rough prawn]

came back during argos? then quit after 3 weeks, came back on fresh vykas

[wary relic]

I see. Well I have other characters who have gone past punika manually. So i should have KT to transfer a new char to there

[rose jewel]

good, then just hone to 960, clear feiton, hone again to 1100 and KT punika, profit

[somber mantle]

if you don't have much income i'd probably still play punika

kt is like 2.4k g i think

[rose jewel]

then you switch the express to the new alt, however, have in mind that 1- the express doesnt have anything to do with honing bonuses, those are global and perma and 2- you cant re-clear already done missions from the express event, so if you completed all its kinda useless

[rose jewel]

the point of the cheese is to unlock gems not doing yorn manually

if you manually just do punika, you have to do yorn instead of feiton, then the cheese is useless

[somber mantle]

wat i'm confused i didn't read all

[rose jewel]

i noticed

dont worry i tried to explain all in detail, so we good

or at least i hope he got it all

[molten tree]

is there a silver cap

[somber mantle]

if there is u won't reach it

[rose jewel]

probably 999.999.999.999

[molten tree]

gotcha

[rose jewel]

i missed 2 9s but the point is the same, never capping

[wary relic]

1. create new character
2. KT past lvl 50 story to north vern
3. Bruteforce hone it to 960 (dont need to KT rohendal/yorn/etc)
4. Manually complete FEiton
5. bruteforce hone to 1100
6. KT to complete Punika

[rose jewel]

mhm

do you even still have missions on the express

[wary relic]

Interesting. I thought once I go past the tier 1 ilvl, I must KT or do story before I have access to the next honing mats

[wary relic]

Yeah just the very last tier of missions. But I might as well use it for a char I want

[rose jewel]

you will be needing to buy your stuff from AH once you reach 600, so 6 pheons down the drain

[rough prawn]

has any1 ever sent a ticket to lark here

[somber mantle]

don't ask to ask just ask ur question

[pine oasis]

anyone else having issues with valtan raid? like glitches?

[rose jewel]

no

[true solar]

I was looking for a group to help me do abyss raid, and abyssal dungeons 1370+

[rose jewel]

best bet is to try at #979604974218653736 (on your region)

[barren path]

Do you need mokoko seeds for adventurer's tome?

[rose jewel]

no

[uncut sphinx]

hello why cant i interact with the statue

[maiden locust]

Somehow can the T2 honing upgrade increase by 2 level at every upgrade as the T1?

[rose jewel]

did you accept the quest beforehand

[uncut sphinx]

oh shoot there was a quest beforehand?

[maiden locust]

It's the same for tier 2

[rose jewel]

oh wait you gotta accept the quest at the statue nvm

been so long, but you should be able to

[uncut sphinx]

yea thats what im trying to figure out why I cant, i usually woudlnt care about sidequests but the map is industrictable

[rose jewel]

that quest is very special and unique, trust me you wanna do it, but again no idea why you cant

[uncut sphinx]

yea im not really seeing any solutions online either :/

[rose jewel]

did you perhaps got it on another character and roster storaged it

[uncut sphinx]

oh maybe, ill go try it out

[vast dew]

iirc u had to talk to another guy first

let me see if i can find it again

hmmm nvm i think i remembered wrong. i found a post saying it might be a bug? but it was from a long time ago

[ashen kindle]

Guys how much gold would I get if I run valtan?

[misty chasm]

Hi, i'm gonna start lost ark but which server crowded and friendly for eu ?

[rose jewel]

first, pick eu central, second, since regions merged servers there are people everywhere ( or should), for friendly, cant help there, there are good and bad seeds everywhere, for specifics ask in the #na-west-region-chat (of your region ofc)

aka EU-Central-regionblabla

[misty chasm]

oh oki i will thanks

[hearty gulch]

Last Ark Pass, we had someone make a sheet on what's the best reward to choose and why, is there one for this Ark Pass?

[rose jewel]

whatever you need or whatever has the most cost on blue xtals

or what's more valuable, like, it should be too hard honestly

[fiery zinc]

can you queue for boss rush and cube without going to the actual tower

[rose jewel]

no idea, i think you cant

iirc there is a menu where you can watch all raids or content queueable....but i forgot the key to open it

and im not at home to press buttons

[thin token]

no

[rose jewel]

you suuuuuure

alt+q is one thing, but i remember another screen, but idk if that had cubes on it

[willow stone]

Anyone here purchase gold from the royal crystal exchange recently?

[flat dagger]

It's the view all details for the fast tracker in the ESC menu, you can't queue anything from there.

[ashen kindle]

can someone suggest a alt thats cheap please no SH SORC BARD PALA SCRAPPER lool

[rose jewel]

i'll still check when i get home, got me curious

[uncut sphinx]

adventure island soon ! !

[rose jewel]

if you think sh is not cheap being new to the game, nothing else is going to be cheap

make whatever and have fun, if you overthink prices builds cheaperino golderino, you will just throw the game for good, have fun with the videogame

[ashen kindle]

owkie thankss

[snow hinge]

What’s a good logging spot?

[uncut sphinx]

i heard demonic impulse shadow hunter is cheap

[rose jewel]

[thin token]

order of emperor arcana

[ancient lark]

just lose some dmg and your char will be cheap

[thin token]

eso war dancer is also my newest alt and i got a pretty good build for not expensive

[rose jewel]

just go no engravings, ultra cheapo mode

wardancer needs a lot of investment to be "good", yes you can get a cheap build but you will be needing gems and tripods

[ashen kindle]

Is this arcana? i really want to try arcana lmao

[rose jewel]

try whatever you find fun, again

[thin token]

i am play full swiftness emporeor arcana seems fine to me, and i got build for cheap 4x3 + 2

its spammy so if u like spam play then u might like

[ashen kindle]

imma try arcana it looks fun

[thin token]

yea go for it, idk how prices are now because i made my arcana a while ago but i think even now its not as expensive cuz its un-popular choice lol. I think most ppl do the other arcana spec

[ancient lark]

maybe robus soulfist is cheap, the leg book only 3k

[rose jewel]

robust is slow and kinda not good before relics for the spec amount

eo is not as bad but it def can get a lot lot better with relic set

[thin token]

oh yea i play robust too i think acessories still kinda expensive doe cuz u need high quality spec, I cant even go 5x3 because too much for high quality with adrenaline so i am using 4x3 + 2

[rose jewel]

tldr most if not all classes, specially spec classes or domi fang users, will feel cluncky pre relics

so unless you really invest into them , you wont get the real feeling of the class

its rare when people fall in love with their class on first sight/use

even if the class feels / is slowwwww and low dmg

[thin token]

lol i just choose 1 spec and I just commit to it regardless if its better or not. I am the type to just commit to first choice

[rose jewel]

but other people are not like you

if class doesnt feel good enough right off the bat they jump ships

which is sad ngl

but well, if they dont have fun, what can you do

[thin token]

yea cuz then they do the "main swap" and get set bak lol.

[pallid panther]

This is used for ?

[maiden locust]

its a toy hammer

[pallid panther]

But its used for what ?

[maiden locust]

nothing

just for fun

[high stone]

Hey guys my guild is level 9 and boss rush is level 8 how do I get it higher?

[pallid panther]

Well i guess ill buy it next week, since i wanted the rapports

[maiden locust]

go for it

[pallid panther]

How much its gift for clear the store ? Its 25 of the first , 15 of the second ? or im missing something

[silver rain]

if you mean the Boss rush guild task research 'Weekly Battle Task Bonus'

[high stone]

Oooh I see wow it cost quite alot, thank you

[weary vessel]

i used my free punika pass to start a striker a while ago but its still in the tutorial. if i delete it, will i still be able to use the pass again on a different class?

[maiden locust]

no

[high stone]

Hey guys, is there any news about the 5th bifrost key? after the server merge it's open

[rose jewel]

bug dupe, nothing more

[high stone]

Will be fixed soon right?

[rose jewel]

ask smilegate

[high stone]

Okey thank you

[amber flax]

what am I suposed to do when I right click a card and it says "the card catalog is full" ? I checked my card window but unsure what to do

[ashen kindle]

what i do here is delete soem useless card lmfao

[thin token]

never delete cards

[thin token]

card catalog > enhance > scroll down and click one of the locked rows to unlock more room but it cost blue crystals

[amber flax]

oohh I see

thats kinda lame thx

[woeful acorn]

if I have more than one powerpass on my account which one gets used first (oldest or newest?) Wondering because I had the powerpass that was given out with arcana and then the one on machinist and only made 1 char in that time. But today after the main I saw that the powerpass "event trixion" disappeared although it said it had no expiry date.

[wanton needle]

Both expired last reset. They said for months the no expiry date is a bug

[rose jewel]

and if you ever wonder, no, they wont refund any expired powerpass, vern are literally permanent, vern passes does actually never expire, punika ones are and always will be (more than probably) event passes, and the patch notes always have the exact dates of when those will expire, arcana one was, for some reason, not deleted after the date, but that was also a bug, a good bug for users, so extra time to use it, if you didnt, too bad sorry

[lapis minnow]

is this even viable for 5x3 for ign sorc? i just randomly landed this stone

[rose jewel]

if ign sorc uses both engravings, yes

[thin token]

i think adrenaline is ok for igniter just hard to manage. You would need to make sure u have full stacks for ur doomsday > explosion > thunder combo

[rose jewel]

tho due to long cooldowns i have my doubts about adrenaline

[lapis minnow]

so is it better to go spec/swift if i use this stone?

[rose jewel]

can always ask the people that actually uses her, #sorceress

[woeful acorn]

@wanton needleoh ty, that sucks I was literally gonna make a new char like tomorrow with it xD

[thin token]

idk about spec/swift but in terms of managing adrenaline u just gotta do (i forgot the skill names) fire pillar > crystal atk > ice ball attack > icicle attack > flame debuff > igniter > (burst combo) this way u will have max stacks for combo. atleast thats how i see it in my head

[rose jewel]

always recommend reading patch notes and roadmaps, because this is an mmo, it will always be filled with info, it takes minutes, read them while you boot up the game

[lapis minnow]

thats a really good point. i really only need max stack during my burst window

[ashen kindle]

ow goood its too hard ti find party at tier 1

[low trail]

one thing for adrenaline is that you probably have to run Inferno and sacrifice your counter

[thin token]

yea thats the pillar move i was mention

[lapis minnow]

yeah true, just for keeping stacks i suppose

[echo owl]

you could keep counter still

[lapis minnow]

and sorc counter sucks lol i dont think i ever hit it before any martial artist does

[echo owl]

you only need 3 stacks before you actually start

[rose jewel]

just read the future

[echo owl]

doomsday -> quick filler (frost call or blaze, esoteric and rime could work but those are harder within the window) -> Z gives +3 stacks when doomsday lands

[rose jewel]

counter 1ms after the counter timing is up

[lapis minnow]

aight i guess ill use this stone then

[echo owl]

so you’d need to setup 3 initially which the very extreme combo is something like blaze -> counter or inferno etc -> Z spacebar cancel (this gives a stack while also not activating Z which is kinda extreme) or a third skill

[rigid fossil]

after transferign to brel gear, when is it hte most worth to use fused leapstones?

[echo owl]

pretty much instantly on your new Brel piece

[rigid fossil]

well yeah but when is it wroth the most

[echo owl]

the lower level it is

[rigid fossil]

im ilevel 1505 rn with with +23 weapon, 4x +21 pieces and one that i kept at +19 for now

[wanton needle]

Just run with shitty martial artist

[rigid fossil]

so best case is for me to keep it at +19, transfer it and upgrade with fused?

well atleast hope it upgrades with fused

[echo owl]

ya that’ll work

[rigid fossil]

like i could easily upgrade it to +21 now

but idk which is better to do

[echo owl]

are you planning g56 week 1

[rigid fossil]

id like thats why im min maxing my resources

[wanton needle]

Isn't meta like 22 or something? Someone did the math

[rigid fossil]

its not about what is meta its about when its most worth to hone

[echo owl]

20 and 21 armor now is still pretty free

[rigid fossil]

yeah like i could easily tap my +19 piece to +21 but whats the point if that is more costly

than just waiting for brel and tapping it then (with fused especially)

[echo owl]

i mean still answer are you wanting to do g56 week 1

because the real cost saver is literally waiting weeks and just transfer everything up to Brel without honing

[rigid fossil]

i did say yes lol

[echo owl]

you’re gonna want to still tap a bit more before brel

[rigid fossil]

why exactly, im quite small brained so i dont quite understand

[echo owl]

1505 -> transfer 19 ends you with 1509.16 which you’d have to tap that Brel piece like 7 times to get 1520

[rigid fossil]

yeah i understand that part

but if i tap now, or after brel, that doesnt make any difference?

[ashen kindle]

guys can i use special express 2x?

[rigid fossil]

except that its cheaper if i wait?

[echo owl]

you’re either wanting to gamble a load fused leapstones, at a 1:5 exchange atm to hit 7 times

[rigid fossil]

i mean ofc im not only going to use my fused i have plenty of other mats saved up

[echo owl]

you also would have to use leapstones which also is 1:5 ig if you’re tapping it normally

[rigid fossil]

its about what costs less

[echo owl]

the conversion you still have to tap 5% and 3%s

[amber flax]

what does the character selected as main do ?

[echo owl]

which you can literally do that now but before Brel mats

[rigid fossil]

.. so its not cheaper after all?

[echo owl]

it’s cheaper when you’re more closer to the actual 1520 minimum

but given you still have a 19 piece, getting that to 21 right now is obvious

and people also suggested some 22 armors where you bring yourself to 1515 or 1517 so you’re conversion you tap once or so

[maiden locust]

nothing

[wanton needle]

Nothing. You can switch main char any time. There might be a restriction where you can't delete your main character. But that's it

[rigid fossil]

yeah but isnt using the fused leapstones better the lower it is?

[echo owl]

at that point most people are confident on hitting the 5% fused leap hit

[rigid fossil]

well w/e i just hit my piece to +20 one more to go i guess

[wanton needle]

Do it, and show off the glow

[echo owl]

it is but the 1:5 conversion hurts when you need to use a lot of it on ONE PIECE

where you could instead use it for one or two taps per piece as you transfer more throughout the weeks

[rigid fossil]

then why is everyone saying to save them all

i see

[rigid fossil]

armor does not have a glow buddy

well i guess my 600 fused leapstones are really literally nothing tbh lol

idk if that will even get me one upgrade

[echo owl]

you’re expecting to hit 5%s with those on the transfer

1515 is usually what is being suggested before transfer then you’d tap the Brel piece 2 times to get there

[ashen kindle]

Guys I have a very important question to ask😂. How not to burn out with my 4 tier 1 alt

[wanton needle]

Swipe or do rested

And take a break

[ashen kindle]

I can’t do this I need to catch up

[echo owl]

burnout and catching up pick your poison bro

[rigid plank]

Thats a classic case of FOMO my man

[maiden locust]

you dont have to do anything

[rigid fossil]

well i just forced the 1510 i guess

now im full 21 armor with 23 weapon, not sure how this is supposed to be cheaper or better but it is what it is how many taps would i need now on my transfered brel gear?

[ocean parcel]

does static means players don't suck and can clear vykas without dying?

[maiden locust]

no

[echo owl]

5 taps at 5% 5% 4% 4% 3% to get to 1520

[rigid fossil]

are those base chances or do they double?

[echo owl]

that’s base lol

[rigid fossil]

so it goes up to 10% 10% 8% 8% 6% right?

[echo owl]

yes

[rigid fossil]

alrighty cool

[echo owl]

alternatively if you tap 1 22 armor then you tap 3 post transfer

[maiden locust]

was it always 25 pheons per relic piece ?

[echo owl]

or 2 22 armor then you tap 2 post transfer

[rigid fossil]

tapping +22 seems kinda

[wanton needle]

Is there a deadline to catch up? Do you need to catch up in 1 month. do you need to catch up in 6 months?

[rigid fossil]

well im out of leaps now so that sucks a bit, especially with the whole shards vs leapstone una debate

ur not gonna catch up with tier 1 characters

[wanton needle]

Only if you are not a idiot like myself and brought a bunch of accessories I don't need

[maiden locust]

could go 5x3 now with pretty good relic accessories but 25 pheons per piece is like hmmmmm... i thought it was 15 last time i played (First Week Vykas Release)

[rose jewel]

leggo is 15 relic is 25

[limpid obsidian]

Just consistently do rested dailies.
The game regularly adds new stuff and makes the old progression faster, so no need to FOMO. Just play to have fun.

[ashen kindle]

thanksss

maybe i play too much thats why. i played 12-15hours every day since i started playing last week

[rose jewel]

well, duh, as harsh as it sounds

fastest way to speedrun burnt out

[ashen kindle]

but its kinda worth it i got 1415 and the punika pass

[rose jewel]

well yes, but at what cost

honestly if you take a break for 1-2 days, you will feel better

[ashen kindle]

ill try that on my tier 1 alt

[rose jewel]

i always have my chars with rested, i never empty them, and i feel fresh when i play

instead of just grinding 6 chars every day for hours (which i even cant btw work)

[echo owl]

once you start only doing rested then non rested runs feel like ass because you get nothing

feels very nice play less 👍

[wanton needle]

Then rush one char to t3. Why you doing stuff on 4 t1 chars?

Focus one char. And you can get to t3 really easily

[rose jewel]

he has 2 t3 already, main and passed alt

that's why the burntout, rushed everything and trying to catch up with people who have played for 9 months vs 2 weeks of gameplay

people scared of being left behind, when multiple events for newbies are up each time and people will always be doing every legion raid, all of them, specially valtan, the entry one

[crisp turtle]

i mean, its understandable to want to catch up asap
when you're constantly told the early game sucks ass, and its the late game thats fun

[karmic ferry]

Anyone know why im getting spam crashed with these errors?

[wanton needle]

Check your internet? Pretty sure it's not a server side issue

[karmic ferry]

ah ok

[gleaming zealot]

anybody know what lvls i should go with on my gear to get 1445

[crisp turtle]

+17

[gleaming zealot]

one verything?

[crisp turtle]

yes

[gleaming zealot]

k

[polar spade]

new player here, how do I get the fever time rewards?

[maiden locust]

wait till tommorow

[polar spade]

so it's a free reward, just wait for the time to receive it?

[maiden locust]

yup

[polar spade]

thanks

and how do I get T3 accessories with class engravings?
Abyss dungeons accessories don't seem to drop ones with class engrave anymore
Currently 1335 gs

[crisp turtle]

hard mode oreha and argos drop class engraving accesories

[polar spade]

oh wow
never knew hard mode existed thanks

[maiden locust]

hardmode is 1370

[polar spade]

this game is kinda bad at explaining systems, considering how they have such overwhelming numbers of systems in place

[rose jewel]

being new to an mmo is always gonna get you all "???" all over the place for a few weeks

whatever question you have, you can either ask or you can watch guides at maxroll.gg

[median dagger]

what are stronghold "T. Skills" ?

and what does the T. stand for??

[rose jewel]

mind sharing a pic of the whole thing, maybe its trade skill but who knows

[rain meadow]

Trade skills/life skills

Hes looking at the 3rd tab of his inventory

With all the roster wide items

[rose jewel]

oh, i thought it was some kind of menu in the SH

[amber flax]

Do back attacks have a passive crit chance or something?

[timber elk]

yes

[amber flax]

I have near to 0% crit chance but they happen way too often

[crisp turtle]

10% crit, 5% extra damage

[amber flax]

mmm ok what about head attack for destroyer ?

[crisp turtle]

can't remember exact numbers,
but its more damage +stagger

[amber flax]

ok thx

[dawn peak]

am i supposed ot collect all 4 balls on mario 4, or jsut 3

[rose jewel]

3

[crisp turtle]

just need 3, there are 4 in m4 because there are multiple routes you can take

[dawn peak]

[polar spade]

When does the "starting novice adventurer" buff get removed so I can prepare for the worst

[crisp turtle]

1370

[polar spade]

dmg received -40% with the buff
guess I'll die much more frequently X_X

and what happens if I go over the 99 item limit?
like will it be destroyed or how do I claim them?

[final sleet]

Me and my friend are in the same server, why I cannot see him ? We're at the cathedral and just started

[polar spade]

maybe in different channels?
check top right corner "ch..."

[crisp turtle]

item limit on what?

[final sleet]

Can we change that ?

[polar spade]

like 99 class engraving selection pouch

you can change channel anytime

[crisp turtle]

there should be a drop down list in the top corner of all the channels
alternatively, if you're in a party you can alt+right click their name to move channels

[crisp turtle]

whenever you reach an items stack limit in your inventory, it will just create a stack new

[final sleet]

How do I create a party ?

[polar spade]

thanks @crisp turtle !

[crisp turtle]

invite someone to a party, you can invite from right clicking someone, or from your friend list

[final sleet]

Tysm 🙂

[median shuttle]

can you play rehearsal clown on a alt and normal clown on your main? same week

[maiden locust]

yes

[cloud pendant]

Really?? I thought once rehearsal done normal mode is locked for the week?

[maiden locust]

on the same character yes

[cloud pendant]

Does rehearsal and normal mode have the same HP mech ?

Like at 125 hp you have certain mech and stuff

Ok thanks

[maiden locust]

yeah most mechs are the same but rehearsel doesnt have stuff like gauge in g1.2 and pizza in g2

[cloud pendant]

Does rehearsal have scale of harmony?

[crisp turtle]

doing normal will lock your entire roster out of rehearsal
doing rehearsal will lock that character out of doing normal

[cloud pendant]

That means I can do rehearsal on 5 other alts?

[crisp turtle]

i've heard that you can only do one rehearsal a week, but i dont know, never actually done it

there would be no reason to, other than practice, the rewards from rehearsal are only once a week, and are gained by doing normal mode

[maiden locust]

its once a week yes

[cloud pendant]

Ok thanks

[sleek schooner]

anyone know if you got 24 chars in t3, how many level 7 gems you would generate per week assuming you could do 48 chaos dungeon every day

[granite schooner]

that would depend on their item lvl

[sleek schooner]

oh, i thought all t3 chaos gem drops was the same

[granite schooner]

not 100% sure but im p sure thats how it works

[shy chasm]

nah you get the same out its 2 lvl 4's per boss rush

[fossil linden]

is there anyway to hold tripods for a class which I don't have?

[sleek schooner]

not asking about boss rush though, trying to figure out how many level 5 gems i could make a week with 24 characters at 1400 doing chaos dungeon every day

[shy chasm]

oh mb i cant read

[fossil linden]

gems drops are rng I think so you can't calculate the exact number thatway I believe

[maiden locust]

but why would you wanna do that

[celest haven]

im trying to create an account in european regions but it says the region is closed what do i do?

[granite schooner]

mb then, idk
closest you can get to your answer is by finding someone who has around that amount of chars and asking that person, low chances probably

[rose jewel]

if you already have that many chars and that much time to play, just do it and profit, not many people do that, if any at all honestly

[granite schooner]

in any way, 24 chars doing chaoses every day is a ton of lv7s or what u were asking

[maiden locust]

and a really fast way to burn out

[ripe coyote]

anyone got the masterpiece #2 in their stronghold?

[granite schooner]

depends on the person

[rose jewel]

yeah i have masterpiece 2

[granite schooner]

maybe thats how they like to play the game

[ripe coyote]

as in, to buy. :v

[rose jewel]

yes

do you wanna travel to the west to buy it?

[sleek schooner]

cuz lvl 10's are 1mil gold, i'd rather just farm them.

[maiden locust]

goodluck with not burning out

[rose jewel]

nice reasoning

[sleek schooner]

i don't get burned out

[rose jewel]

nice confidence

[sleek schooner]

d2 is more grindy than this game (:

[rose jewel]

nice comparison

[brave rapids]

what do you guys think the recommended gear is to get into week 1 brel parties?

[granite schooner]

guys if u get burned out doesnt mean everyone does 😄

[rose jewel]

1575, doesnt mean you'll get it tho

each gate has a required entry gate for a reason

[maiden locust]

depends on what gates you wanna do

[ashen kindle]

what would happen if you disconnect on guardian raid? does it count ? i didnt harvest the soul T.T

[granite schooner]

prob 1500+ for first 2, a little bit over the lvl req for each for first week since i assume ppl want safer runs

[maiden locust]

1500 is gate 3.4

[granite schooner]

nah it doesnt count, guardians are unlimited entry and 2 souls a day

[celest haven]

i cannt select server

[granite schooner]

i know

[rose jewel]

soul not harvested = run lost for the day

[granite schooner]

very low chance ur gonna get accepted to g1-2 on ilvl if pugging

[rose jewel]

restart pc, turn off router 10 mins, verify game files

[granite schooner]

if he disconnected before the boss is dead he can go again

if he returns in another instance

p sure this happened to me b4

[rose jewel]

i did not harvest the soul =/= i did not finish the fight, hard to guess which one is it

besides i think it still counts, but not sure and im not willing to try myself

[granite schooner]

well not like a guardian soul is an end of the world thing to lose anyway

it happens sometimes

[rose jewel]

not like a kakul gate 1+2+3 is the end of the world, or a vykas 1+2+3 but yknow

it still sucks

[granite schooner]

yeah, compare Ks of gold to like 500

[rose jewel]

you're not seeing my point, but its ok

[granite schooner]

sure

[ashen kindle]

What if it’s already dead and I didn’t pick up the soul cause I dc

[brave rapids]

You lose that soul for the day

[granite schooner]

if u returned in an instance diff to the guardian raid and one of ur souls is taken but u didnt receive anything, its lost

[ashen kindle]

Ow god

[maiden locust]

its fine

[ashen kindle]

I have 2 souls in that dungeon

I dced when it died lol

[brave rapids]

You can just see how many souls you've used for today here btw

[ashen kindle]

I’ll check I

[celest haven]

didnt work

[brave rapids]

Oh are you STILL dc'd? I was wondering why you just didn't check lol

[ashen kindle]

Yeaaah

[rose jewel]

then contact official support through a ticket in the amazon site of lost ark, not much we can do here

[ashen kindle]

it has rest bonus T.T

[maiden locust]

dont worry about it

[spare heron]

is it ok to do these secret maps while leveling? cuz i have so far and also the 3days crystalline aura we got today does the 3 days go in when u actually use the item or will it dissapear out of my bag after certain time?

[rose jewel]

tooltip always shows expiry date in case it has, and when you use it its 3 days even if you're logged off

secret maps contribute a decentish amount of roster exp, which unfortunately is important in our version of the game due to stupid gatekeeps people has
