lost-ark-help

[boreal cosmos]

you basically need the vpn to bind it into your acc on a certain PC.
Once it's linked to your PC/you started downloading, it links it to your library across any account you'd ever log into on that PC as long as the game partially/fully downloaded

technically speaking it is a little bit against the ToS of steam, but me and some other friends done it and noone got banned.
I don't think it's bannable.. but don't take my word from it.
I did it on my over 100games steam acc and everything is fine

[normal lily]

if you get banned from lost ark it doesn't delete your steam account, just shows you have a game ban which will like hurt you getting into rust servers ig

[wooden wasp]

I see, was wondering if it would be against steam's TOS if I use my account from my current region then VPN to US region to download it and add to my library

so my worry is more on a steam ban no much on a ban on lost ark

[boreal cosmos]

yea a game ban isn't account ban.
But using the VPN to get into a different store is a violation of ToS.
If you do it on a totally different account, and just use that account to download lost ark, it then binds into your account and would stay in your library untill you get rid of it.

If you are giga afraid, just play on a different account.
BUT binding the game to your OWN account (not using a VPN to transfer your acc into a different region store) supposed to be totally fine.

[vast oriole]

Where are you from? Lost ark is banned from where u live?

[wooden wasp]

SEA region

[sonic mountain]

Just create a brand new steam account for lost ark only

[boreal cosmos]

THAT could be risky. I wouldn't use a VPN on your own acc to download it directly on your acc.
Either use a friends account to download the game and then move to your acc, or create a new steam acc and use that acc purely for lost ark.

[wooden wasp]

I see, ill just create a new one for safety measures

[vast oriole]

^

[wooden wasp]

thanks for the tip guys

[sonic mountain]

Use a VPN and connect to the US, set that account's location to the US then it should be fine

[boreal cosmos]

I used a friend acc to download the game and then moved back to my acc just for QoL.
I don't think theres any issue with that.
If you wanna take another step of safety, use a different acc

[wooden wasp]

yea thanks for the tip, had some decent amount of games on the main acc anyways to risk it

[boreal cosmos]

I literally don't understand why they locked their game to certain regions but still made a way to cheese it.
in BDO for example which does the same thing you can't boot into the game without having a VPN on..

[zealous patio]

how do u tell easily when its ur turn to get the orb in vlatan gate 1

[boreal cosmos]

look at the person before you lol

stay close to the one before you, but not too close

[zealous patio]

mean like witht eh debuff number is it +1 to u or match number

[wooden wasp]

oof, steam is detecting my vpn when trying to register XD

[crisp turtle]

two methods
either watch the person before you, but this isn't always possible depending where they kite the orb
the other method is to watch his hp, and look at the debuff counter.
if you're eating the 5th orb, you eat the orb when it says x4
if you're 7th, eat when it says x6
etc

when you use the debuff counting method, just make sure you're agro'd onto the right boss. if they were in the middle of the split mechanic, where both wolves are alive, you might be looking at the wrong ones hp, and it won't show the debuffs. just make sure to attack/click on the wolf in the middle

[boreal cosmos]

ye that happened to me as well. it would be fastest if you get a friend oversea on a non locked region

[wooden wasp]

ill try to find old account without games that I can risk xD

[boreal cosmos]

it won't work if your account isn't set to the non-region locked store

[vast oriole]

U dont know anyone that can create account for you?

[wooden wasp]

I got a download prompt following these steps with my current region account though

Connect to your VPN (I used Windscribe, connected to Los Angeles - Dogg)

Open steam://run/1599340 using your browser.

Steam will ask you to log in (since you're on a new IP Address)

Upon a successful log-in, the download wizard will appear

sadly none

just ddnt risk my current account cos of bans

[boreal cosmos]

so try that it might work, back in feburary I had hard time doing it

[zealous patio]

ty! used the debuff method was hard to see the other guy on my screen

[boreal cosmos]

eventuall got a friend to create me an account and used it just to get the game into my library

[plain marlin]

apparently according to the player tips thing, i can just ignore side quests and i will have enough to hit close to 50 anyways after finishing the main quest?

[zealous patio]

ya just do MSQ

[plain marlin]

well it helps that most side quests are just in the way of the mainquest, or at leasts thats what i found so far (yadia atm)

[crisp turtle]

you can, you'll get 50 long time before you reach vern
the thing is with the side missions though, i wouldn't actively ignore them. accept them, if they're on your route do them, and generally they always hand in at the same place as the main storyline.

if its a long detour, then just ignore it

[vast oriole]

(U can always go back to side quests after lvl 50, some quests are important)

[pulsar echo]

can someone explain how I messed up here

[crisp turtle]

have no idea what im supposed to be looking at, you've got liek 4 menus open

[pulsar echo]

+2 mind enhancement but mind enhancement still level 1

[silver rain]

check integrated presets alt+e if you're using skill tree on equipped gears or inventory

[pulsar echo]

thank you!

[boreal cosmos]

Is it possible to equip t3 gems on t2?

[frosty crag]

whats the best way to lvl tripods most of mine are lvl 4. Should i garbage them and buy single lvl 5 and then rebuild the other 2. Or just start gambling on upgrading the lvl 4s to 5s

[wooden wasp]

Hello again, I am currently downloading somehow on my new dummy current region account. Would I need to use vpn when playing or not?

[silver rain]

no as long as you can see the game in your steam library

[crisp turtle]

i'd have a read/watch some guides/tips about the upcoming tripod changes before you decide to do anything with tripods

[leaden rose]

so how do i progress guardian raids if no one is hosting them in t2?

[wooden wasp]

thank you for the answers, see you in the game after download hopefully.

[crisp turtle]

either find someone to carry you, or just ignore them til you're in t3 then come back and solo them

[leaden rose]

[crisp turtle]

yeah ik it sucks, but its just how the game is, noone does the low tier content anymore

[leaden rose]

yeah it was kinda shocking cuz low tier content used to be so active last time i played

and now it seems like everyone is in t3 endgame, but oh well, ill solo em

[maiden locust]

When did you last play? 6 months ago

[leaden rose]

5 months ago

[maiden locust]

Makes sense then

[leaden rose]

ye

[maiden locust]

Welcome back

[languid mica]

Are honor shards still used in the future gear tier?

[maiden locust]

Yes

Those are the orange shards right?

If so yes

[leaden rose]

ty

[maiden locust]

Np

is anyone having server selection bug? can't see my own servers (unavailable) and can only see 3 south america servers - from NAW

Your server might got merged

no i don't think so...was playing 9 hours ago

[hallow nebula]

what do ppl do to get 400+ virtue points? im at 220 and i need enough for nia now cause i f'd my cheese, i got the skillpoint but i need protection now

[leaden rose]

what should i do now after beating punika quest ilvl 1100 now?

i completed all tier 2 level 4 guardian raids, but cant do tier 3 guardian raid, cuz im im ilvl 1100

[silver rain]

do 1100 punika chaos dungeon and transfer your T2 gear to new 1302 gear

[silver rain]

restart steam, router, or pc

[polar shard]

I need help, idk what bird helgaia pet to choose

[leaden rose]

tyy

[lean hazel]

whats the fastest way to get to T3 on an alt ? since we dont get t1/t2 mats from event shops right now

[radiant flame]

buy mats from market

[lean hazel]

yea stones and shards are so expensive tho

[uncut sphinx]

Are tooki island quests only available when the island is open

[radiant flame]

can do tower for shards

you can also just buy a punika pp

[radiant flame]

yes

[leaden rose]

does gear quality matters a lot? or should i just redo chaos dungeon and hopefully get a good quality gear drop?

[balmy tendon]

You don't really need to worry about gear quality if you are still using basic gear from chaos dungeons.

[leaden rose]

oke

[old pivot]

first time seeing something I can't kill quickly...is it even worth it to kill him?

[balmy tendon]

That is a field boss and are not designed to be fought solo if you are at the intended ilevel. Ignore it for now. It does give some nice stuff the first time you kill it but you can do that later.

[old pivot]

ah I see, ty

[leaden rose]

so im currently gear honing my punika gear dungeon to try get it to max, but which of those tier 3 stone buff should i get?

[balmy tendon]

solar protection

[leaden rose]

tyy

[leaden rose]

should i use additional material like these to ensure 100% for lv 7

sorry for a lot of questions

[balmy tendon]

Yes its worth if it will get your honing rate to 100%. You want to mainly use them when weapon honing though.

[leaden rose]

got it

after running out of gold for gear honing, any tips on how to earn gold? currently gold gated by gear honing atm and im ilvl 1331

[fair mantle]

[night loom]

for valtan g1 orb mechanic, how does pug assign the orb order?

[fair mantle]

Nah lol save them for higher level weapons they're pretty limited

[fair mantle]

You choose it yourself

[night loom]

so choose from 1-8 in chat?

[fair mantle]

Yeah

[night loom]

ty, i've only ever done wei cheese

[sour blade]

just wondering, but can you power pass your first character pass the story/straight to punika with royal crystals? or is there still that first character pass that story quest requirement

[sullen lark]

Kind of disappointed that there is no tier 1 or 2 mats in the fall event shop. Is there another event somewhere for those?

[fair mantle]

You can

[fair mantle]

The boxes do have a choice for them

[sullen lark]

Oh ok thanks:)

[median dagger]

I logged in today and just noticed my wife's character has "VetusVeteranos" above her name. It isn't her title, because she has that set as well. What is this?

[sullen lark]

Ugh just bought my first 3 relic pieces and the qualities were 3 2 and 4. Um should I bother trying to upgrade those every week or just buy some more pieces and hope for better quality?

[fair mantle]

Upgrade them, buying them again is a waste of gold and resources

[marble shell]

does the aura thing from another server still work? for like $20?

[fair mantle]

If it's next to the name then title if it's above then guild

[pseudo atlas]

above character name is guild name

[orchid timber]

been having this error

[median dagger]

Ah guild, that's it

[fair mantle]

Seems like isp issue, try repairing steam files and all the general stuff as well

[orchid timber]

oka ty

[astral root]

not in game rn, when is next lagoon please

[devout cape]

How long after hitting 50 do I keep doing this main quest? This b is long as f

[edgy escarp]

probably as long as it took to 50

[shy chasm]

Till Vern but you have continent quests still south Vern at 1340

[silver rain]

https://www.lostarktimer.app/en/alarms

[austere creek]

how many weeks of hm valtan & normal vykas does it take to craft a 6 set?

[eternal zenith]

i think it depend on which set you going to craft

[austere creek]

any idea of poem salvation? I think it's about 3-4

[ebon ice]

set bonuses on legion sets don't stack right? i.e at 6 set, you don't get the 2 and 4 bonus?

[rain meadow]

You get all of them

[ebon ice]

are they flat percentages?

[rain meadow]

Uhh wdym

[ebon ice]

like if 10% crit on set 2 and 15% on set 6, it's additive?

[rain meadow]

Yeah +25% crit onto your existing crit after stats

[ebon ice]

I see thanks

[astral root]

thank you

[vapid sand]

do pets give +10% stat on top of your current stat?

[ebon ice]

anyone knows w/ dominion set, does set 6 bonus replace set 2 bonus? There's no way it's added for a total of 48% cd and 25% dmg right?

[rigid plank]

it all stacks together

dont think its 48 cd tho

[ebon ice]

It's confusing because it's specifying the same active with just increased description for set 2 and 6, while set 4 specifies it enhances it so you know it's additive.

[rigid plank]

ok i think it might not stack for dom, im not on my wd alt rn

[ebon ice]

Ya the numbers would get too crazy after adding set 4, think it might just replace set 2 with 6

[wraith basin]

it increases based on your stat yea, so do your highest

[olive saddle]

…..

[leaden rose]

how do i leave challenge guardian raid

i accidently join and the "quit raid" button is greyed out

[eternal zenith]

wait for 4 min i think

[leaden rose]

-3-

[fiery zinc]

does the type of chaos gate rotate every hour or every day

[minor crown]

rotate every hour for 1415 chaos gate, any lower gate is fixed

[fiery zinc]

so i can wait for a red gate then

[serene cloak]

should i hone my main to 1460 or get scrapper to 1370?

[olive saddle]

What’s my level hits 20 I know I get the lighting effect change but my other five armor pieces are still 19 if I get another armor piece to 20 will the light effect on my weapon that’s already 20 increase too? Like give it more light effect

[minor crown]

you mean the glow?

only weapon level matters

[snow wadi]

honing to 1370 is cheap a.f. and starts yielding some good gold

[dreamy bluff]

what are the regions you can skip again? if you coming from Vern

im guessing Rohendel and Feiton but not sure

[snow wadi]

Theoretically any but Punika
Pracitcally Feiton and Rohendel are the easiest ones

[ebon ice]

am I reading this right, nightmare legion set gives 42% damage when magic addiction is active?

They did an awful job with the translations..

[rain meadow]

If its 6pc, probably

I forget what the numbers are for 4 and 6 pc

[ebon ice]

Set 6 just repeats set 4 but doesn't specify anything. Just assume to add them?

[rain meadow]

4pc buff and 6pc buff are 2 separate buffs so yeah

[slim beacon]

i have alot of tripods lvl 2 - 3
should i try apply them now ?
on alt

[rain meadow]

Sure?

Whats stopping you

[slim beacon]

was thinkin of the next patch

[rain meadow]

I mean you should ideally just buy lv4 tripods from the ah and save them in your tripod inventory for that

Lv2 or 3 tripods you can also save, or just roll them

[shut elbow]

gate 3 kakul this atk Kakul’s giant face will cover the arena floor. Saydon (the main boss) will be invincible and all battle items/skills will be disabled.Saydon will unleash waves of anger, dealing fixed damage to everyone. The number of waves depends on the number of transformation buffs you gave the boss
what is transformation buffs

[rain meadow]

The clown stacks, when you turn into a clown

[shut elbow]

found a video explaining it

not just any clown stacks tho only when u turn during non mech

[rain meadow]

Even when you turn into a clown during mario

He will convert any clown stacks he has into the red version which gives him 10% attack each

[zealous crescent]

Just knowledge transf a Destroyer to take advantage of the event (RIP the powerpass that expired). How do I pump him to T3 fast without whaling so the event doesn't expire?

[dusty crypt]

what does NHH mean?

[eternal zenith]

normal hard hard

[slim beacon]

is it fine if i just swap char after finishing x2 chaos dungeon without leaving the instance first after ending ?

[maiden locust]

I just need to vent...I completely missed the Event Guardian Raid event from Aug to Oct because it wasn't in the Integrated Dungeon menu...all of those mats gone for over 2 months.

Worst of all is the1-time roster limit items like Kakul Saydon pet

[snow wadi]

I mean since launch we always had an event
Didn't it bother you, that there was none for a whole month?

[maiden locust]

We had the maharak summer one and challenge raids/guardians

Since integrated dungeon QoL came out, I have never touched the red flag icon...I'm not the only one that completely missed the event cuz it wasn't in the Alt+Q menu

are the lfgs just for like group activities? or is there some for just anything?

[faint roost]

Do i need to be ilvl 1415 to buy and facet relic ability stones?

[radiant flame]

yes

[misty rock]

do i have to complete "ark quest/worldquest" again if u already done it on another char?

[radiant flame]

the main story quest? yes but you can skip parts of it with things like powerpasses or knowledge transfer

you can also skip some continents when progressing

[misty rock]

how u do that, like knowledge transfer?

[radiant flame]

it's in your stronghold

look up the guide in maxroll

[misty rock]

ok

[bright crystal]

if anyone could tell me whether powerpasses account bound or region locked?

[slim beacon]

is there an efficient way to guarantee a legendary book from chaos dungeon ?

[radiant flame]

there are also no inefficient ways...if you could guarantee legendary books from repeatable content they wouldn't be valuable

[slim beacon]

cuz i legit never dropped any grudge or one of those valuable books from chaos dungeon for around 7 months now

[radiant flame]

that's what rng is?

some people drop 150k accessories from chaos dungeon

[maiden locust]

when leveling gear what is the most important to do first for more dmg as a dps class atm all my stuff is 20+

[radiant flame]

20+ what?

are you level 20 and going through story?

[maiden locust]

20+ gear im 1490

[slim beacon]

as a scouter main, dont expect to be dealing dmg or like get big number

its a flat dmg class

[radiant flame]

that doesn't mean he can't increase dps

[maiden locust]

i know sadly but its just fun af to me i sitll want to max my dps tho

[slim beacon]

but ur main dmg come from your weapon + weapon quality

[radiant flame]

just usual stuff, weapon quality, gems

are you transformation?

[maiden locust]

oh so get 25+ weapon and yes evo legacy

[radiant flame]

level 10 gem is a big upgrade

[maiden locust]

i have level 10

[radiant flame]

and 5x3?

[maiden locust]

both dmg and cdr

[vast oriole]

Whats your weap quality

[maiden locust]

grudge evo bari adren raid

[radiant flame]

then just weapon quality

and then general honing

[maiden locust]

5x3 1620 spec 509 crit

just wanna hit 1500 but i dont wanna waste it in areas i dont gain more dmg

[snow wadi]

wepon and gloves give most main stat iirc

[radiant flame]

spec sounds like it could be higher, but yeah you're fine. eventually - 9/7 stone and bracelets too

[vast oriole]

U could have better spec

[radiant flame]

honing weapon will be useful, and yeah, just weapon quality

what is your weapon quality now? i would aim for maybe purple

[maiden locust]

okay so ima keep my gear all 20+ and max my weapon out its 73

[radiant flame]

er, i wouldn't keep all your gear at 20

maybe keep 1 piece for brel efficiency

honing weapon is good for now but it still becomes extremely expensive and inefficient

after 21

[maiden locust]

so whats the ideal spot to hit 1500 or 1505

[radiant flame]

brel is coming soon, there is pretty much no reason to waste gold on reaching +25 unless you have money to burn

1510 if you intend to do brel 5/6

[snow wadi]

wepon and gloves

but wepon hella expensive

[vast oriole]

Work on your quality

Will be expensive enough

[radiant flame]

yeah. i would say getting purple quality is more efficient use of gold than trying to hone to +24 or +25

[maiden locust]

oh really well my gloves are purple

[radiant flame]

that doesn't matter

armor quality is only HP

weapon quality is additional damage, with higher quality being exponentially better

[maiden locust]

ahh okay !

[radiant flame]

also, maybe efficiency isn't the right word as you might just not hit and waste your gold, but yeah, it's worth aiming for, particularly on classes that don't benefit as much from tripods

[maiden locust]

so if i wanna hit 1500 whats the gear + looking like

gloves shoulders and weapon ?

[radiant flame]

yeah? gloves, shoulder, weapon, hat to 21

you could weapon to 22 but that will cost maybe 3 times as much

[maiden locust]

okay cool

ima do that then

[slim beacon]

how much do i lose if i do chaos dungeon rested

[snow wadi]

Full rested is 66% Mats for 33% work

[slim beacon]

ideally u wouldnt want to push more than 1490, focus on alts better

[slim beacon]

if u have 8 alts, would u do it rested ?

[snow wadi]

depends, is lost ark my job or hobby?

[slim beacon]

i think its better if u let them rested 2 days then run x2 chaos dungeon

[snow wadi]

So I'd reocmmend

[ashen kindle]

guys why my daily quest from t3 give t2 rewards? lmao

[snow wadi]

unless you have plenty of time to spare

[slim beacon]

what daily exactly ?

[idle pollen]

Whats the nm legion raid for 1430 and 1445?

[slim beacon]

1430 ' vykas / valtan normal '' 1445 ( valtan hard / vykas normal )

[idle pollen]

Oh i can only do valtan and vykas at 1445?

When will i unlock the third legion raid

[vast oriole]

1475 but u lose argos

[slim beacon]

1460 you unlock vykas hard and 1475 for kakul

[ashen kindle]

Daily quest on feiton and mokoko island

[slim beacon]

feiton is for tier 2

[idle pollen]

Oh? I thought kakul was the 4th raid

[vast oriole]

4th is brel

[idle pollen]

Okay thanks

[slim beacon]

tho una task for leapstones is done at feiton too

[ashen kindle]

im doing feiton quest before and its giving me t3 mats wdym?

[flat dagger]

He has no clue what he's talking about or misunderstood.

[median shuttle]

whyy is asking me pheons for a earing skin??

[flat dagger]

It doesn't have 3 trades on the item.

[median shuttle]

is that new??

[flat dagger]

It's been in the game ever since I started 7 months ago.

[median shuttle]

really ?? i swear i never saw that before

[flat dagger]

3 trades on cosmetics = no pheons

[median shuttle]

im shooked

[faint roost]

Im lvl1370 and just tried buying 2 stones and got +7,+6,-4 which is enough for 5*3, i dont need to get a 1415 stone do i? I mean the only difference will be a few thousand hp right?

[short stump]

why keep waiting?

???

what???

[digital escarp]

what was the chaos dungeon relic gear set for supports again?

[faint roost]

Or is the extra hp quite significant later in the game?

[waxen wing]

Just started to play this game today, but I can't connect to NA West (best server ping for SEA players aka me) because of region is closed, how can i solve it?\

[crisp turtle]

Betrayal is the aoe set

[rain meadow]

Are you using a vpn?

[waxen wing]

I tried, but the game closed at the time I turned off my VPN

Because the VPN I currently using is a free VPN

[rain meadow]

Arent you supposed to close the game and turn off the vpn, then relaunch it?

[waxen wing]

Oh really? Let me try it again

[rain meadow]

Idk for sure, since i dont use one.. lol

But a lot of people have been saying that they cant connect today, whereas they were fine yesterday

[radiant flame]

You should upgrade later to a relic stone, yes. But you can hold off and use your 7/6 for now.

[icy iron]

Someone knows what was the expiration date of usage for Arcana/Machinist powerpasses?

[waxen wing]

Also does anyone know why my game screen will cut in like a half (right-angled triangle) when I start the game? only during the amazon logo

[ashen kindle]

guys why my t3 alt get T2 mats from Daily quest? T.T

[buoyant herald]

5x3 is a nice dream to have 🙂 you need a 7 7 stone at least and at least 1 engraving upgraded to legendary + a set of relic accs its gonna cost you somewhere around 500k in total (:
4x3 is what you can have with legendary right now and its a lot easier and ceaper

[vast oriole]

what is your ilvl

[ashen kindle]

1232 lmao

[vast oriole]

u need 1302 for t3 mats

[ashen kindle]

i see okay thank you. unlucky Chaos dungeon didnt give full set

[vast oriole]

reset soon so you can try again with chaos

[ashen kindle]

i hope so

[vast oriole]

[ashen kindle]

guys is it better to craft oreha or buy it from AH?

[slim beacon]

is it actually worth it to invest time for astray ?

[maiden locust]

Crafting is slightly cheaper but not much

[ashen kindle]

i see okay thanks

[maiden locust]

Depends if you sail a lot I just use ocean liners and bifrosts personally

[short stump]

can some1 please help..what happened

[eternal zenith]

are you using exitlag rn ?

[radiant flame]

It’s significantly cheaper to craft. You save perhaps around 10% once you have your stronghold craft cost upgrades, which I think is a lot

You also have chance of great success which is pretty much free gold

[agile compass]

what country are u from

[waxen wing]

Same for me

Everytime when I try to connect NA West servers, it pops up automatically and it forces me to play SA

It only works when I use VPN, but I don't really want to use it

[maiden locust]

when kakul in gate 3 jump to the center and start doing aoe dmg based on how many stacks he have is random ?

[rain meadow]

After each 2nd reverse hp pattern

[ashen kindle]

im gonna learn this one first but tthank you

[neat lion]

Does relic gear help make a huge difference in dps from once it's a 6 set?

[radiant flame]

Yes

I mean, just read the bonuses you get. It’s huge

[crisp turtle]

It depends on the set, but most have the biggest spike at 6pc

[agile compass]

what country are u from?

[dapper geyser]

is rehearsal once per roster or char?

[agile compass]

roster. if u already done normal on any char. u dont need to do rehearsal

[waxen wing]

Really hard to explain, but somewhere near china or it is in china

[agile compass]

hong kong?

[waxen wing]

Some political problems are there so its really hard to tell

[waxen wing]

Yes, I thought you were going to say Taiwan lol

[agile compass]

im from hong kong too xD

[waxen wing]

Oh really?

[agile compass]

my friend has the same problem today. hes using HKBN. what about you?

[waxen wing]

I am also using HKBN if i am not wrong

[agile compass]

oh damn.. guess hkbn got ip blocked today or something

[waxen wing]

I tried to edit the config file in lost ark's folder, but it still doesn't work

[waxen wing]

Well I am not sure, let's just hope that it will be fine tomorrow

So that I can try this game for the first time

[agile compass]

i hope so too. guess u need to use vpn

which vpn did u use for it to work?

[waxen wing]

Windscribe, but the game was automatically closed when I disable my vpn

[sullen lark]

Hey guys, ice saved everything from ark pass in my roster storage. When we open the chests for mats are the mats still tradable or once you open them are they bound t ol the character that opened them?

[waxen wing]

Just hope that the taiwan server will be released soon as they are doing closed beta test rn, during 24th Nov to 28th Nov

[ashen kindle]

After almost 1 week 4 alts t1-t3 almost all done I got too much roster lvl for doing mq again and again 2 alts at t3 now last 2 is half way t3

[shy yarrow]

they're bound

[ashen kindle]

Gonna burn out soon

[sullen lark]

Thank you 🙂

[sand chasm]

is it open beta test or closed?

oh nvm just read it

[waxen wing]

you can still apply it in their website

if you want to

[sand chasm]

is there any real id/pn requirement?

or just a vpn

[waxen wing]

It requires for an happytuk account (the taiwan game agent) and probably your telephone number

Also your location, like your address

[sand chasm]

phone number is fine but i guess it has to be taiwanese number right?

[waxen wing]

Probably

[sand chasm]

shame

if i have to pay to rent TW phone number i might as well play KR

[waxen wing]

Man I feel like I need to wait for taiwan server if the game is keep region blocking me

It only allows me to play in SA rn

[sand chasm]

ru wont region block

you just need a vpn and exitlag works perfectly

[maiden locust]

how many 21+ gear do you need to be 1500?

[sand chasm]

4

[maiden locust]

4

You can do 3 and transfer a +20 piece to brel gear and get free 2.5 ilvl

[sand chasm]

that gives more than 2.5

[paper glacier]

https://i.imgur.com/ZgXqVpG.jpeg

what is that icon above players heads?

[maiden locust]

3.3?

[sand chasm]

3.1 i think

[maiden locust]

Okay

[sand chasm]

no 3.3 you are right

[waxen wing]

how much exitlag is

[sand chasm]

i think like 5-6 eur per month

and there is a discount code LADB i think

[maiden locust]

What are chances of Kakul pet coming back? I didn't buy it when I had the chance

[azure sorrel]

What happened to spectrum server for lost ark

[buoyant herald]

bunch of servers got merged

[azure sorrel]

Ah I see it says I got 3 characters on armen but when I click it they sent there

Ah nvm I found them I had to I store

[waxen pumice]

anyone uses exitlag here?

servers dont load when I have it on

[buoyant herald]

yeah since usin a vpn is no allowed

[quiet drum]

What should I prioritize, given the choice between proper secondary stats or engravings on a piece of gear?

[winged junco]

i keep getting this msg any solutions?

[nimble geyser]

that's the vpn error message , do you use one ?

[winged junco]

no i don't

[nimble geyser]

try to verify your file , there is actually many pple me including who can't connect to our server

[winged junco]

ye it works when i verify the files but after i exit and try to open the game again i get the same error

[reef sapphire]

are there any issues rn? cuz i also cannot connect

[waxen wing]

I can only connect to SA and other regions are blocked, is it my computer's problem or lost ark's server side problem

[nimble geyser]

server side

[worn lynx]

if you use a vpn and it supports split tunnel then add steam to that and just deal with the bad lag? I guess

[nimble geyser]

there is a thread on amazon forum

[waxen wing]

I saw that, but it is still region blocked after i edited the config xtml file

[nimble geyser]

yeah i think they blocked some ip

[waxen wing]

I can only wait for them to fix that or buy exitlag as the p2w solution?

[nimble geyser]

exitlag dosnt work anymore since today

[eternal zenith]

sorry to disappointed but exitlag is also fucked

[waxen wing]

then rip

Fortunately I havent bought that yet

I am just using an america vpn bypassed steam account to play lost ark, but the server is kinda dumb rn

easier to explain, i used vpn to make a steam account

[nimble geyser]

i tried with ghost vpn (oppening when smilegate logo appear) and i'm still lock on SA server 😦 , i French but i left my country for hong kong that rly sad if i loose all my time spent on this damn game

[short stump]

how to verify file?

[waxen wing]

Bro I live in Hong Kong and it is also not working

[short stump]

i wasing play NAW...now locked me on south america

[waxen wing]

I doubt it is probably network provider's problem

[nimble geyser]

@sacred parcel right clic on your steam game properties files game
@waxen wing you have HKBN ISP ?

[short stump]

im also HK...

[short stump]

first time happen to me, i live in HK. play naw using exitlag

[waxen wing]

I use HKBN

Bro why I feel like is HKBN's problem

[short stump]

same...did u use vpn?

[waxen wing]

Nope

[nimble geyser]

Yeah that mean HKBN is a thing here , i will try with China mobile soon . I already had some issue with hkbn when i open exit lag

[waxen wing]

Not trying to risk the easy anti cheat thingy

[short stump]

so its not exitlag issue....ummm first time this show up

[nimble geyser]

on lost ark forum ppl some ppl who have this issue use hkbn to .. i have 2years subscribe on this damn ISP i'm lock xD

[waxen wing]

Imagine chinese government is using HKBN to ban us from playing games

[short stump]

link? is this new issue or old one? first time see this

[nimble geyser]

https://forums.playlostark.com/t/locked-out-of-my-server/478877/27

[nimble geyser]

if its that ima going to buy a vpn rooter xD

[short stump]

dont work...like i said, im using exitlag...dont help

[reef sapphire]

CE also has issues with servers so it's more like a server issue rather than isp issue, isn't it?

[short stump]

any1 playing naw rn?

[nimble geyser]

we don't know there is communication about it atm , but some ppl with hkbn have this issue for sure

[short stump]

but i can tell u vpn dont work, since i already using exitlag

[nimble geyser]

nvm if they banned our HK/China IPs , Bot compagny will find something to bypass this so guess we have to wait xD

[eternal zenith]

idk if you have tried to turn exitlag and run the game ?

[short stump]

well, the game actually allow me to create character on south america....did u try

[robust gale]

i wouldn't be surprised if they open it again and block HK in the future again. Dont forget lost ark TW holds the licence to publish for both HK & TW.

[short stump]

i have turn exitlag on and off, no work

[waxen wing]

bro HKBN sending us to brazil xd

[nimble geyser]

i tried to connect to SA but it keep loading and close the game with an error

[short stump]

my game only allow me to log south america..other locked lol

[nimble geyser]

its seems that some pple are able to connect with a vpn but don't know what vpn and how they do 😮

[waxen wing]

i can get into NA west with VPN, but it automatically close my game when I switch it off

[nimble geyser]

you tried to oppen back your game with the vpn ?

[waxen wing]

I enabled the vpn before opening the game, and it works

[short stump]

what vpn u using? vpn link to which country? my exitlag linked to us dont work

[waxen wing]

It can go through the easy anti-cheat

[short stump]

dont need to restart steam?

[waxen wing]

Let me try it rq

[nimble geyser]

exitlag isnt a normal vpn , it don't hide your ip

ima taking a shower if someone have vpn working tell me in PM PLz :p

[waxen wing]

it went through easy anti-cheat

the vpn

the game is launching for me now

it only works when my vpn is enabled yeah, it just return to SA servers after i close it

[red badge]

is kakul rehearsal hard? I'm paladin 1450

[buoyant herald]

nah its childs play

[robust gale]

nope very easy

you'll survive most of the mechanics that would usually kill you in normal mode.

[red badge]

oh right, I thought its hard so I havent done it

[robust gale]

obviously this doesn't mean you shouldn't use your brain at all but rehearsal gives you the advantage to learn i'd say 60% of the raid mechanics comfortably

[red badge]

I have two other alts at 1415, can they do it as well?

[robust gale]

um that im not sure..

[short stump]

wt vpn u using?

[maiden locust]

you can only do it once per roster

rehearsel

[red badge]

oh okay

thanks for the advise

[waxen wing]

Windscribe

[old pivot]

hmm, coming from path of exile (PoE) the mechanics and movement/skills in Lost Ark seems a bit clunky to me, or maybe just the berserker build? I also tested the Deathblade and Shadowhunter preview and it feels exactly the same. Is it just me doing something wrong?

if it's possible, I'm seeking a build where you can cast a skill/spell and then continue to move instead of waiting for a .5-1s character animation.

[maiden locust]

every class feels clunky in the beginning

[unkempt breach]

also, POE is a very spam oriented game no?

la is a little slower with ability casts

[old pivot]

even at the preview screen?

[maiden locust]

especially a the preview screen

[robust gale]

ahh the preview straight after character creation?

[unkempt breach]

yea especially here

[maiden locust]

you have 0 stats

[old pivot]

yup

[robust gale]

yeah that basically have 0 representation of how the class feels lol other than the animations

[unkempt breach]

Essentially once u get to ilevel 1460 u can truly see how the class feels as a whole

[old pivot]

oh... 😦

[full maple]

Yeah the preview is more to see the skill animations

[unkempt breach]

we can give u suggestions based on what u like in a character tho

[robust gale]

^

[old pivot]

I enjoy the glass cannon-like builds that can take 1-2 shots incase I mess up the dodge. I've got a lvl 19 berserker atm but wondering if there's a faster animating char like an assassin or a ranger

[unkempt breach]

gunslinger

[robust gale]

melee or range? do you prefer

lol I was gunna say gs too but it seems like hit picked melee classes at the start

[old pivot]

which is easier for new players to gear-up and solo content? (I'm mostly solo pve atm)

[unkempt breach]

mmm this is a REALLY team oriented game

[old pivot]

I went berserker because I assumed that I would be solo and don't have access to guild/friends early stages

[unkempt breach]

oh so stuff like story hmmm

[robust gale]

realistically all classes are able to solo everything during your leveling process. the game really starts after you hit 50 and complete the story and it no longer becomes a solo oriented game

[full maple]

Early stages all can be solo by everyone

[faint roost]

What do you do once you reach 1415,how do i get to 1445 to get relic gear?

[unkempt breach]

get to 1445, do valtan hard

[maiden locust]

you get mats from valtan and vykas for relic set

[unkempt breach]

first start doing valtan normal

[faint roost]

Do i still upgrade preordained set even though everything is +15

[unkempt breach]

yes

[robust gale]

yes it transfers

[faint roost]

So you can transfer preordained to earths entropy? What level do i have to upgrade my preordained?

[unkempt breach]

u will need +17 on everything to get access to relic gear

but since entropy is 2 piece valtan 4 piece vykas u most like will need to get +18 everything

[last wolf]

does anyone know if this is bugged? Both the left and right doors dont work

this is for "the king's tomb part 1"

[robust gale]

drop the latern first

[unkempt breach]

yes press r

wow so many new players though I thought this game died

[robust gale]

REAL new players

[last wolf]

ty

[unkempt breach]

exactly right!

[last wolf]

does it matter what doors we choose in "the king's tomb"?

[unkempt breach]

I thought they were all sorcs and berserkers walking the most efficient path

[unkempt breach]

not really, both will bring you to the end

[robust gale]

only slightly different objectives that will both bring you to the same ending

[waxen wing]

Is using a vpn to play lost ark breaking the rules?

[last wolf]

ty

[robust gale]

it is indeed against ToS other than the whitelisted one - ExitLag

[unkempt breach]

I don't think you can even launch the game with a vpn

EAC detects it or something to prevent bots

[waxen wing]

The problem is I can

Somehow...

[unkempt breach]

hmmm interesting, but if you can play w/o its probably safer

[short stump]

any1 have this too?

[waxen wing]

yeah the reason I am asking can I use it is that currently the NA West server region closed

And I can only access South America servers

However I want to play in NA West

[robust gale]

unfortunately you & most HK players have to wait and see what Roxx says. Im sure something will be said in a couple of hours. They just woke up/started work

it's just weird how exitlag and the server region closed issues came up at the same time

[waxen wing]

Well then I am going to do smth else for now

[old pivot]

fyi, the tos (https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=G201482650&pop-up=1) says:

So not sure if there's any other "vpn" exceptions out there that I can't find

[unkempt breach]

capp is it possible to play NAE? im saying this due to the outrageous things ive seen in NAW and I think it would be better for new players to progress

[waxen wing]

Only South America for now

[unkempt breach]

Unlucky

[waxen wing]

I am SEA player and NA West has a better server ping

[gloomy escarp]

does anyone else has massive lags today? EUC Asta

[unkempt breach]

Blue crystals in NAW are approaching 5000 for 95 and I just think thats ridiculous

[robust gale]

nah they've been locked out completely other than SA. It seems to be their ISP provider HKBN. I wonder if it's because all the bots are routing to that ISP to LA servers. That would suck

[short stump]

HK region is not allowed to play LA, not support country, not sure if they will help

[waxen wing]

bro HKBN sending us to brazil

[robust gale]

you still see a lot of malay/sg/SEA streamers still playing/streaming and those are unsupported. But yeah you're right in terms of they might not help because of that

[short stump]

asia got abandoned

[robust gale]

isn't Taiwan releasing their version soon too? and I believe they hold the publishing rights for Hong Kong. So that might be the reason amazon is locking out HK

[waxen wing]

closed beta test for taiwan soon

[short stump]

TW server = best p2w server
and less player to amazon server

[waxen wing]

man I am used to play with foreign players, not chinese players

[robust gale]

yeah I wouldn't be surprised. I just accept that is the east Asian culture of mmorpg lol

[waxen wing]

Although i live in hong kong

[short stump]

are u hk local

[waxen wing]

Yep

I am used to play with English players

[short stump]

it is. asian love p2w, dont want use technique

[waxen wing]

That's why I am trying to enter NA West

[robust gale]

yeah I know a lot of HK players who basically are expats (or expats sons/daughters) living there and prefers to play with western players.

[unkempt breach]

the western audience is usually less intense

[robust gale]

yeah usually that's the reason why they prefer to play with western players.. different gaming culture

[waxen wing]

I am HK Local (real Hong Kong people) but I still love to play with western players

[short stump]

咁你有無hk公會

[waxen wing]

I haven't played this game before, this is my first day

[short stump]

OH BAD start

[waxen wing]

Yeah true

[robust gale]

lol

right time to watch a film

[barren scarab]

would anyone like to help catch me up to speed. I havent played for ages and I have an inventory full of things idk what to do with

[short stump]

so we jsut use a vpn to play rn first??

[short stump]

watch utube guide

[waxen wing]

Just do something else for now

I am going to play albion or whatsoever cool games

I might give BDO a chance

[short stump]

which region u linked to? LA still lock me on south America...

[waxen wing]

Los Angeles Dogg

[last wolf]

are purchased crystals and other currency shared between all alt characters?

[buoyant herald]

crystals yes other currences depend 😄

[eternal zenith]

blue and royal crystal shared

[buoyant herald]

well guess its all currencies except the shards ( harmony life and honor)

also symael bloodstone no shared

[last wolf]

is it possible to purchase the character lvl 50 chest thing across all alt accounts?

[buoyant herald]

yes but blue crysal is only shred across the server you get them on
so the only use for that would be getting half a year of crystaline aura since aura is region wide

[eternal zenith]

that thing is 1 per server

[old pivot]

is this a decent guide to follow for skill allocations? https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/build-guides/gunslinger-leveling-guide

note: still leveling (lvl 13)

[buoyant herald]

yeah maxroll is the way to go

[crisp turtle]

Maxroll gives very good introduction guides, you can't go wrong by following them step by step
But don't look to it for in depth analysis or variation

[wind scroll]

anyone know ho i can claim the free power pass upon completing "berver's friend" in punika? its the free one from the character boost event

[maiden locust]

you cant get it anymore it expired

[wind scroll]

dayum

[maiden locust]

yeah

[last wolf]

should i accept or deline zinnervale's fight suggestion

tried googling but cant find any info about this

[ripe sedge]

Question, guys. Might be strange, but... I've been hunting rabbits in Tidehself in Punika for a couple weeks. Always 1 channel. Today, there's suddenly 5 channels.

So I'm wondering, what's causing the bots to flood Punika? Did the market change for Punika collectibles or LE farmables?

[crisp turtle]

There's no quests where you can choose the wrong answer
If you do happen to choose "wrong" it will just make you do the dialogue again

[last wolf]

just curious if my selection affects any gameplay in the form of item drops or story

cos there was a scene where u fight this demon and if u pretend to submit, u launch a sneak attack and he becomes easier to kill

[candid mica]

hey does anyone know how to sell ship skins in the auction house?

i bought the halloween package and want to sell the halloween ship skin but i can't list in the auction house

[silver rain]

there's 3 days trade restriction

[candid mica]

i can see the restriction on the other items but not this one, i'll try again when it's up on the others

[maiden locust]

can you even sell ship skins on AH?

[silver rain]

Halloween one yes

[timber elk]

1460 main and my other 5 are 1415, push main or alts ?

[maiden locust]

main if you wanna do clown, alts if you dont really care about doing clown

[reef bramble]

anybody that has been through the mokoko challenge that can tell me whether its worth doing Feiton to unlock the last of the basic guide rewards

[maiden locust]

its worth to do feiton just for the leapstone dailies

[reef bramble]

i suppose thats true

[blissful solstice]

Can you not start hard mode vykas g1 hard?

[radiant flame]

You can, but G1 can be very wipe-y with teams that don’t know what they’re doing

[maiden locust]

you can but people prefer to do g1 normal and then switch to hard

[radiant flame]

Everyone needs to pass individual mechanics or you can’t clear

[timber elk]

you cant bus g1 hard either

[maiden locust]

you can

[radiant flame]

The mechanics aren’t (in my opinion) hard but it can be triggering if individuals keep failing

[radiant flame]

Er, you can’t?

[maiden locust]

why not

[radiant flame]

You literally need 8 people

[maiden locust]

no?

[radiant flame]

For hard yes

You can’t pass stagger without 4 people

[maiden locust]

you only need 3 to do orbs

[radiant flame]

No, you need 4 on hard

[maiden locust]

you can with luttera horn

[radiant flame]

No it’s the orbs after stagger

You cannot pass with 3

[maiden locust]

yeah the soldiers from the horn can take orbs im pretty sure

[rose jewel]

?

[radiant flame]

I mean I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about

Even if you could, you are a 6 man bus?

[rose jewel]

8 man bus

[radiant flame]

I mean, I am humouring his idea that the horn can pass orbs …

[rose jewel]

how many soldiers does the horn summon, i mean, that's a 20man bus by then i guess ;D

[radiant flame]

I would personally try to hone your alts to 1430 because you get so much more gold that way

[spark raptor]

Whats happening ? Anyone could help me?

[radiant flame]

Even if you pushed to 1475 on main you would struggle to find a group to take you on ilvl (unless you already have a static lined up)

[robust gale]

may I ask where are you from? it seems to be an ongoing issue across unsupported regions trying to connect to whatever they're on

[spark raptor]

Central eu

Serbia

[wooden wasp]

how do u check your fps and ping in game>

[robust gale]

exitlag just confirmed it's on Amazon's side that's causing this problem. They seem to have changed something that prevents people using most VPNs and just connecting generally.

[timber elk]

from what ive seen vykas bus's take all your money and im not sure if Ive had any luck getting into vykas groups at 1430

[robust gale]

there is an option to tick in the settings in-game (cant rememeber on the top of my head). While fps can be done via steam overlay or whatever else... they dont have in-game fps shown built in

[spark raptor]

Oh okay so basically its not my fault

[robust gale]

nope there's many people affected. AGS hasn't given a statement yet so we're all guessing

[radiant flame]

If your main is at 1460 you should be close to having a title though? There are definitely chill parties around if you are willing to try and find them

[rose jewel]

get into a learning group or get a guild/static

[timber elk]

heh, ive only cleared normal twice

[spark raptor]

Im hiped bcs just got the first awakening skill

[radiant flame]

Do you not have a support alt?

That’s the easiest way to get into groups

[rose jewel]

this is an mmo, and from my personal view this shit aint solo friendly, and pugs are only good when you gitted gud at one fight

[radiant flame]

^ this

[rose jewel]

there are some streamers that do learning parties sometimes, you can host one yourself, or again, a guild

i think datmodz plays on NAE, you can ask him about those parties

[timber elk]

I do have a paladin, which this now comes to mind, should I be spending my pheons on tripods or accessories for alts? I didnt have to spend many for my main since I only need 4 tripods on my main

Im pretty confident in the fight, its just hard trying to convince others that I am

[rose jewel]

if youre a support, you shouldnt have that many problems joining any group

[radiant flame]

You should have correct stats and engravings still …

Paladin you can get away with 3x3 for a long time

So as long as you have that

[rose jewel]

well yeah dont try to join as 1x3 1x2 or smt

[radiant flame]

But if you have the paladin, I would definitely focus on pushing that alt

And then try find some friends to play with from guilds!

It can be tough being “behind” but it’s even harder doing it solo

[timber elk]

I'll try my best, so pheons, tripods or acc?

[rose jewel]

everything

[radiant flame]

Yep. Just get your 3x3 at least - blessed, awakening, expert - get your important CD tripods and you should be set

Make sure you get swift accessories (and swift spec neck)

[rose jewel]

i would prio tripods for all your chars tho, when amazon drops the bomb shit's gonna go to the sky

[timber elk]

works with me

[edgy imp]

tried to swap to KR voices and it told me they weren't installed. went to the folder, KR is empty. any way to get the files back without doing a Verify Game Files?

[rose jewel]

dlc

[plush silo]

does anyone have experience dealing with "This region is closed, unable to select" problem?

I tried verifying integrity and reinstalling the game but still getting the same problem

[rose jewel]

net problems imo, restart router as many times as needed (that fixed it for me)

[plush silo]

i'm currently in an accommodation and can't restart router

i'll try switching ethernet to wifi... but that might not help still

[rose jewel]

it could, who knows, game's stupid sometimes

[reef sapphire]

many ppl currently experiencing being locked out of their original servers

[edgy imp]

can try re-newing IP address and flushing DNS. no clue if this will do anything.

[blissful solstice]

Omg you can craft 0 quality?

[rose jewel]

lol yes

[blissful solstice]

Damn i guess thats luck for ya. Ez 100 ez 0

[blazing badger]

you actually have an individually higher chance of crafting 0 than any other value lol

[blissful solstice]

Is it worth changing quality while the upgrade is low chance or do you craft another piece after awhile?

[maiden locust]

upgrading is more gold effecient

[blissful solstice]

Got ya. On 26.07 chance with alotta fails so was curious

[rose jewel]

never recraft, you have the exact same chance as upgrading quality from the npc, but upgrading is cheaper

[gentle hawk]

r we still getting relic accessories when brel norm comes out? no ancient set yet right?

[vast oriole]

yes

[gentle hawk]

so it should be ok per say to make adjustment to my engravings since we arent expecting new set next month?

[vast oriole]

yea

[gentle hawk]

thanks!!

[short stump]

use vpn work, now can play NAW

[coral stone]

How many Demonic Beast's bones do you get from Valtan hard ? Including buying the chest at the end of each gate.

[ebon perch]

pins

[coral stone]

Cheers

I thought the bid chest at the end was 10 haha
My ass trippin'

[wary lintel]

1000 morale is how much expertise?

[pallid panther]

In therms of mats x gold price. Supposing already having the set.

Is it still worth It to open boxes from legion ?

[maiden locust]

only the last one

[crisp turtle]

The last one is the least gold efficient one

But they're all better value than marketplace value

[maiden locust]

why? i thought the last one was the best

[crisp turtle]

Depends how you value fused leapstones, but otherwise its the worst value as it costs the most for minor reward increase

[spice fulcrum]

um, doing yorn's mushroom cooking, and the bags doesnt spawn, is it a bug or am i doing something wrong

i went to all the spawn spots, and no bags were spotted, staying in the same spot for 10 mins and nothing happens too

[ripe sedge]

Guys, what's the efficient way to craft relic gear? I found the relic gear crafting guy, and about to craft my first relic gear (full set). I got 55 bones + 55 wings

Like which for weapon and armor

[spice fulcrum]

there is no 'efficient' way, because relic gear are all best when they are 6 of the same set, so choose one that fits your class

[ripe sedge]

I mean, is there different wing / bone amounts used to craft different relic set weapons / armor, or is it all the same cost for every set?

[spice fulcrum]

its the same, armor pieces costs 10, weapon costs 25

[worn cipher]

Hmm is it normal that I did thunderwing and got no reward at all ?

[vast oriole]

Didnt do enough dps

[worn cipher]

Ah yes so i bugged at the start and died but still count as done for the day

nice shit

[vast oriole]

Unlucky

[short stump]

can give me the name of island to spend

[ripe sedge]

Question about Salvation vs Entropy sets.

2 set Salvation = 0.7% DMG per stack, max 20 stacks --> 14% DMG
4 set = extra 0.7% DMG per stack.

4 set Entropy = 17% crit DMG + crit rate (includes 2 set bonus).

Questions:

1. 4 set Salvation = 28% bonus DMG to mobs on all attacks, right? Normal + crit hits?

2. Does Entropy crit bonuses apply to everything, or only to back attacks?

Just wanna make sure I understand these set bonuses before I start crafting

[buoyant herald]

20crit damage for all crits and 60% damage for back crits

and 6 set is applied to all damage
but also 7% for all and 21 just for back attacks

[green night]

is this something casual happening now ?!!! i got no rewards after finishing valtan hard

[ripe sedge]

Thanks, Tank.

Trying to figure out which would be better, 4 salvation or 4 entropy

[buoyant herald]

for back attackers entropy is a no brainer

[buoyant herald]

did you dc and come back after it was dead ?

[green night]

back at last 2 bars

[short stump]

please help

[ripe sedge]

I'm going for a 2 nightmare (for MP reduction) and 4 of either Salvation or Entropy.

[buoyant herald]

probabaly too late it gets weird if you dc ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[buoyant herald]

class ?

[green night]

would i get ticket back ?

[buoyant herald]

probably not

[green night]

shit system..

[buoyant herald]

yeah

[buoyant herald]

there is an npc in every city find this icon

[ripe sedge]

Crit reflux Sorc and control glavier

[buoyant herald]

well for sorc you go 2 nightmare 4 dom
idk glavier but if you are using ambush master entropy is good know lots of gaviers dont use am so you go someting else in that case not sure tho should ask in #glaivier

[ripe sedge]

Alright, just want to be sure before I start using chaos stones to craft

[buoyant herald]

[radiant flame]

Control glavier is entropy, no other choice

[blissful solstice]

Best place to stop leveling stronghold?

[radiant flame]

Is there a reason to stop?

[buoyant herald]

70

that's where you unlock everything important 🙃

[blissful solstice]

Hello guys just want to ask, is that any bus services is legal?

[maiden locust]

yes

[strong oracle]

if i looking for some bus, where's should i chat in this server chat?

[maiden locust]

ingame

[strong oracle]

ahh, ok ty i tot i can ask here for LF bus

[blazing badger]

bus services are legal but against TOS to ask for any on this discord

[strong oracle]

okay thx for the information

[blazing badger]

I think it's silly too but it is what it is

[strong oracle]

ok no worries guys ty for helping me

[crisp turtle]

There are region specific bus discords, shouldn't be too hard to find with Google

[strong oracle]

really

[strong oracle]

thx you sm

[hot path]

anyone has a map with resources available?
There's like a hundred maps but i need one with resources ^^

[subtle helm]

What are Deska and Kunga's creature typing for purposing of card set bonus damage?

I'm assuming all Legion raid bosses are considered Demons?

[radiant flame]

Not all legion raid bosses are demons

[subtle helm]

Oh ok, which ones aren't? and where do you look up what they are?

[radiant flame]

G1 Valtan is beast

Akkan is undead I think

[subtle helm]

I see I see, and Deska and Kunga?

[cosmic harbor]

prolly beast

[radiant flame]

I wouldn’t personally waste card exp on deska/kunga

[frigid flare]

it's my first time reaching 1415, do i have to use special honing from now on?

[radiant flame]

KR already struggle to complete demon

[crisp turtle]

Since when is kakul typeless, he's a demon

[radiant flame]

Oh is he? Sorry I got confused with him not having an elemental weakness

[blissful solstice]

Whats a good parking spot for alts now? 1460?

[radiant flame]

I’ll correct …

[buoyant herald]

depends i keep mines at 1490

[pseudo atlas]

you just hone normally

[crisp turtle]

And akkan is most likely undead and demon, same way valtan counts as both beast and demon

[frigid flare]

with the 10% starting rate?

[pseudo atlas]

yes and it only gets worse until 1490

[frigid flare]

insterts emoji meme with hands up

[blissful solstice]

Any reason or like the way it looks?

[subtle helm]

I'd say 1445, or 1472.5.
1460 is a weird spot where you struggle hard to find vykas pugs willing to take you

[radiant flame]

Wdym, 1460 is fine

[buoyant herald]

its the entry point for brel g1-2 and easy to get to g3 4 from there

[crisp turtle]

1430 > 1490 > wherever you want to keep them depending on content you want to do

[radiant flame]

1475 is probably the “best parking” spot rn pre Brel because you can do clown and upgrade your relics while also getting best chaos dungeon

But it’s highly dependent on having a group for your ilvl clown

Which if you have a static is fine

For economy, i recommend 1490 for Brel release because you need 1490 to farm the new mats

[blissful solstice]

Great info everywhere thank you. Ill prob push 1460 and see how im lookin

[radiant flame]

Just don’t neglect gear. Ilvl is semi-meaningless if you don’t invest in your character as well

[blissful solstice]

By gear you mean tripods gems etc?

[radiant flame]

Engravings, combat stats too

[rough prawn]

yes engravings

I persoanlly have every alt at 4x3+2 meta and lvl 5 gems

[blissful solstice]

Ah Of course

[rough prawn]

with at least 6 core tripods, the reason i have em at 4x3+2 is so that when i transition to 5x3 its very cheap

[subtle helm]

Slowly work on your weapon quality too

though that is a bit of an exercise in luck

[buoyant herald]

that's the momst cancer thing ever

[crisp turtle]

And terrible advice unless you enjoy throwing away gold

[radiant flame]

I kind of disagree with this but hey ho

[blissful solstice]

Whens the transition come in? Just whenever you wana invest more?

[radiant flame]

Weapon quality is so important

[crisp turtle]

So many more efficient uses of gold than throwing at weapon upgrades

[buoyant herald]

unless you are rng carried its terrible advice

[subtle helm]

So you guys have 10 quality weapons?

[radiant flame]

Shrug. I wouldn’t recommend buying stones. But I’d just use the stones when I can

[buoyant herald]

i have 76q on my main and thats like 400k gold down

[maiden locust]

nah only 90+

[crisp turtle]

Main has 70 something, alts all around 40-50

[unkempt breach]

Quality hates me

[maiden locust]

my main has 98 and main alt 90

[radiant flame]

Anyway, I wouldn’t advocate burning gold on quality for an alt, but it’s just another way to invest at some point down the line

[subtle helm]

There's a difference between using your stones as they come, buying cheap chests in your raids and buying a few stones a week, and rage rolling your weapon 1000 times.

Obviously use your brain

[maiden locust]

too bad my main is pali so my 98 is useless

[crisp turtle]

At some point down the line, yes.
Spending gold on quality upgrade should just be very far down the priority list, as there are much better guaranteed ways of increasing damage

[radiant flame]

Yes but after getting 5x3, and tripods, I would probably look at improving a 10q weapon for example

[maiden locust]

how many mayhem marks for doing clown

[rough prawn]

when i get the class gold boks

[unkempt breach]

200

[dusky girder]

is the kakul shop book tradeable?

[crisp turtle]

Yes

[maiden locust]

what about rehearsal

[velvet cairn]

anyone else havin problem to log in???

[unkempt breach]

Pretty sure it’s the exact same

However snacky u can only get up to 200 mayhem marks per WEEK so don’t spam all your rehearsals

[maiden locust]

you can do rehearsel only once a week

[unkempt breach]

Is it no once per character?

Not*

[buoyant herald]

no its once per roster
also locks you out of normal mode on that char

[unkempt breach]

Interesting

Never done it, so forgive my lack of knowledge

[buoyant herald]

if you run normal on any char it also lokcs you out of rehersal

[tardy quail]

How much is a raid share for gold at auction?

[buoyant herald]

equal split among all the members except t he one who bid ofc

[leaden rose]

so i just finished gear honing my character to ilvl 1340, should i start doing south vern now or finish gearhoning everything on punika chaos dungeon gear?

[tardy quail]

so everyone gets 1/7th of the gold?

[buoyant herald]

yes

[tardy quail]

wait that math doesnt math

[buoyant herald]

sure it does wdym

[crisp turtle]

up to you when you do it, it takes a couple hours, you get a few honing maps and a decent amount of card packs
you don't need to do S vern until you're 1415 and want access to legion raids and south vern chaos dungeon

[crisp turtle]

everyone except the person who won, gets 1/7 of whatever the winning bid was

[tardy quail]

ah wait i put it in calculator wrong

[short stump]

is there a new island for event? where is it? name

[crisp turtle]

north of luterra, just search moko
its the mokomoko night market or something

[leaden rose]

so i have to gear hone my ilvl 1302 gear to 1415 to do S vern content?

[crisp turtle]

nono, you can do s vern at 1340
but you only need to do it before 1415, as the chaos dungeons and legion raids at 1415 are locked behind south vern

i think i misread

[neat cosmos]

What does double orbs mean in the Valtan raid party descriptions?

[crisp turtle]

you hone your 1302 gear to +15, which makes it 1370 ivl, you then craft new gear from argos/oreha hard abyssal dungeon, which transfers to +6, you then hone that new gear to +15, which will be 1415 ilvl

at 1415 ilvl you can access the content after the south vern mission quest, the chaos dungeons and legion raids

[crisp turtle]

means you do the orb/stagger mechanic both times, and use thirain instead of wei cheese

[leaden rose]

tyyy

[neat cosmos]

Do you know perhaps a link to some video or guide that shows how that would work?

[radiant flame]

Search ATK Valtan gate 1

[neat cosmos]

thanks

[crisp turtle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs1ubIHBK_w

5:50 is timestamp for stagger/orb mechanic

[old pivot]

how do I know which is better for a gunslinger?

[scarlet sigil]

should I still be honing tier 1 gear until i get to 960 power?

[maiden locust]

you hone tier 1 to 600

[crisp turtle]

no, stop at 600, do yorn, do chaos dungeons in yorn, and you'll get t2 gear start starts at 800, transfer your honed levels from your t1 gear to your new t2 gear, then hone that

[crisp turtle]

whilst doing storyline, don't worry about accessories or gear, just pick whatever has the little up arrow

[scarlet sigil]

ahhh got it, thank u

[fiery spindle]

how long does it takes from t2 - t3 normally with only chaos?

[maiden locust]

with only chaos on 1 char?

[fiery spindle]

yes

[maiden locust]

a while

[fiery spindle]

can I buy t2 honing materials?

[maiden locust]

yes

[fiery spindle]

and does it worth?

[tardy quail]

ya pretty cheap

other than shards dont buy those

[leaden rose]

@crisp turtle hey, i am almost close to hitting 1370 and i ran out of "simple oreha fusion material". I still have 1 chest that will give me more, but then i realize i am close to getting a new gear that will make my gear transfer to 6+ and they might use "basic oreha" right? Should I just use simple oreha or wait

[maiden locust]

tier 1,2 mats are like 1g

[maiden locust]

wait

[vast oriole]

u shouldnt use simple from that box

[crisp turtle]

depends how much simple oreha you'll need

[crisp turtle]

as they're the same price, and you get more simple oreha from the box

[leaden rose]

only glove and pants are level 9 and the rest is lv 15

[vast oriole]

dont use the box, u will get stuck with the rest being useless

[crisp turtle]

save it then, you'll use less than the 125, and the rest will be wasted as you can't use them or transfer them

[leaden rose]

true thanks yall

[crisp turtle]

with only doing chaos dungeons, probably 2 weeks ish as shards will be what you struggle with

however, you'll have access to the event shop, and the one-time island rewards if you havent claimed them yet, which will help give you the mats you need

[fiery spindle]

thanks

[ripe sedge]

Guys, curious... is 408 the current max skill points in game right now?

[buoyant herald]

yes

[ripe sedge]

Ah good, just got the skill point potion from destroying T2 tower with relic gear 1460 Sorc, and bumped me to 408 points

Are we getting more skill points later or nah?

[maiden locust]

yeah with rowen and elgacia

420 max

[ripe sedge]

I'm wondering whether its better to push 1 skill from 10 to 12, or 2 skills from 10 to 11? I have all 8 skills at 10 on all chars except scrapper (who isn't level 60 yet)

[maiden locust]

i think 2 at 11 gives more dmg

[subtle helm]

also depends on what skills specifically. Not all skills are made equal

[merry reef]

Does anyone know how much gold u get from each gate in clown and how much each chest cost?

[frigid oracle]

You get 1000/1000/2500. Not sure how much the chests cost.

[subtle helm]

Will fused leapstones not be able to be used once you tier up your gear with brelshaza?

[radiant flame]

Not the current ones. You can trade up for the Brel ones (5:1)

[subtle helm]

Is there a consensus on when the best time to use them is? I kinda forgot about them and just been stockpiling, i just hit 1500 on my main

I remember someone saying to save them, convert and try to get lucky week 1 brelz if I wanted to rush to g5/6

[pseudo atlas]

best time to use them is at like 1415 (+15), if you're already at 1500 just save them

better off converting to next tier

[merry reef]

ah okay, anyone know chest boxes?

[radiant flame]

800/1000/1300

[frigid oracle]

If you already hit 1500 just save them, not worth after +20 1490 imo. So you'll probably get to brel g3-4 easy.

[subtle helm]

@pseudo atlas @frigid oracle kthx

[merry reef]

[remote parrot]

Is it normal for argos p3 req to have 3x3?

[buoyant herald]

its usually 4x3 with high gs XD if you get accepted with 3x3 its lucky

[remote parrot]

for p3 argos? damn

[pseudo atlas]

3x3 is way more than enough and people probably do expect that much at least at 1400

[buoyant herald]

3x3 is easy

[rigid plank]

3x3 is easily enough even if above 1415-1445, never heard about 4x3 needed for that high gs

[buoyant herald]

should really have it by 1400

[pseudo atlas]

iunno 1400 is pretty dang fast nowadays, and it's just close enough to 1415 that you might not get enough accs from oreha and argos and you just want to wait for 1415 for relics instead

[remote parrot]

how should i get more combat engraving packs?

my engraving is underlvled compared to me gs

[buoyant herald]

not if its your first char

[radiant flame]

Buy them from the shop?

There were loads around during the events that handed them out like candy

[desert oyster]

not sure if this is where i should post this, but the game has the option for 1280x1024 (5:4 aspect ratio) resolution but when my friends tries to use it there's black bars. does the game not support that resolution?

he only has one other resolution option but when he uses it it stretches the whole game out

[remote parrot]

which shop?

[radiant flame]

Player market

[wanton needle]

Infinite choas gives up to purple I think. Check out the event store. Challenge guardian also gives you one up to blue

[pseudo atlas]

the game maintains a specific aspect ratio, black bars will be there to fill out the screen for anything that isn't 16:9 (or 21:9 with the option on)

[desert oyster]

oh yikes

[remote parrot]

what section is it under i cant find it

[radiant flame]

"engravings"

just search the engraving....

[desert oyster]

well he's using it in windowed mode for now but he's having the issue of a blurry ui. is that a common issue with running the game in windowed mode?

i run in borderless/full screen and haven't had the issue so im not really sure how he'd go about fixing it

[scarlet sigil]

What does it mean when I try to learn an engraving and it says "You cannot use an engraving recipe that is higher in rank than the one currently being collected"?

[radiant flame]

you need to collect 20 of each rank

[remote parrot]

oh you mean just buying the book straight out

[radiant flame]

so you need 20 green books, then 20 blue, then 20 purploe, and finally 20 gold

[scarlet sigil]

so if I learn 20 green ones, i can start learning blues

got it thank u

[radiant flame]

yes. i would not farm infinite chaos. most purples are like, 1 gold

[pseudo atlas]

no i don't know of any issues with ui being blurry, is it blurry for them even in full screen or borderless?

[desert oyster]

yes, it is

[radiant flame]

some popular damage and class ones are a bit higher but yeah, idk you missed the boat a bit with purple books being dirt cheap

[desert oyster]

could maybe be his monitor

[pseudo atlas]

then it's not an issue with windowed, it's something to do with their own setup

[desert oyster]

yeah. do you know of any options that might have anything to do with it?

[pseudo atlas]

ui scaling possibly, in gameplay -> controls and display

[remote parrot]

is this normal

[pseudo atlas]

either that or something outside of the game itself

[desert oyster]

alright, i'll have him look at that, thank you

[pseudo atlas]

yeah pretty much

[vast oriole]

yes because no one sells them anymore

[pseudo atlas]

tons of purple book sources / fewer green and blue books

and they give out engraving bags every so often in events but not this event

[remote parrot]

damn that means im blocked from doing argos p3 withouit getting carryed

[scarlet sigil]

I learned over 20 green books and I still cant learn blue ones
do they all have to be different green ones?

[pseudo atlas]

press alt-i and screenshot the engraving you're trying to learn

[proud grove]

Just downloaded the game, but when I try to launch I get this error

[pseudo atlas]

you have learned exactly zero of that engraving, nothing at all not even green

[scarlet sigil]

ohhh it has to be 20 greens of that one specifically

[pseudo atlas]

well yeah of course?

[scarlet sigil]

okayy I understand now, thank u

[remote parrot]

legend t3 gear transfer to mythic t3 1:1 right?

[maiden locust]

relic and yes

[wind scroll]

hey guys im re running south vern and finished the main questline,problem is i dont have purple quest to get in the chaos dungeon,anyone have any insight?

[pseudo atlas]

there isn't one for chaos dungeon, and if you mean chaos line then the guide quest is one time

[wind scroll]

then how do i get the tickets? sorry i just rejoined the game after a long time and dont remember

[pseudo atlas]

there's a weekly quest right outside chaos line entrance

[wind scroll]

Dont have it :/

maybe only in main character?

[pseudo atlas]

once per roster per week

[inner wing]

Did you do the questline introducing Chaos Line?

Which starts somewhere in North Vern

[maiden locust]

hi, in the tower, each time I clear a level I earn a reward, right? Means at the end of the tower I'll get all the rewards for the levels I cleared?

[inner wing]

Not necessarily 'at the end of the tower' you'll also get them if you leave the tower

You only need to clear the floor

[maiden locust]

and if I leave the tower, will I be able to continue where I left?

Yes

[inner wing]

Yes

[maiden locust]

ok thanks. I'm at level 22 for now 🙂

good luck
