[scarlet sigil]

Can I infinitely grind and receive the same consistent rewards in chaos dungeons?

[maiden locust]

The rewards after the x2?

[shut pasture]

After your first 2 daily Chaos Dungeons the rewards change to giving a currency that you can spend at a vendor.

[scarlet sigil]

ahh damn aight ty

[shut pasture]

The vendor provides a limited weekly amount of the typical rewards you'd get; weapon and armor stones, leapstones, etc

[scarlet sigil]

which vendor is it?

[shut pasture]

Its typically very near the Chaos Dungeon statue.

[scarlet sigil]

thanks

[shut pasture]

No problem

[radiant flame]

This is incredibly inefficient

Just to let you know. I would not recommend it

You can almost always be doing something more useful if you have the time to kill to run infinite chaos

[maiden locust]

so I failed on 48th level of the tower. pfff the enemies cast things that make me unable to fight 🙂

[scarlet sigil]

yeah Im not doing chaos dungeons more than once a day unless i really need to. Thank u !

[maiden locust]

You'll get them next time buddy dw

[silent mortar]

These. Whata dailies should i spend them on?

[crisp turtle]

any una's that you want to do for horizontal content, that suck ass
like tooki

[silent mortar]

tooki drops tooki's soul, no?

so ideally you need to do it anyway

so, uhm, my question is - are there una's dailies that have useful rep reward but dont have useful reward associated with a quest itself? Like, for example, Wispering Islet dailies.

[coral umbra]

is lost ark using way more RAM a known issue? is there anything that can be done about it?

[silent mortar]

and are stupid to compelete

[radiant flame]

Ghost ship and sailing dailies

[silent mortar]

any particular?

[radiant flame]

Those. The ghost ship and the sailing one

There aren’t multiples

[pseudo atlas]

gesbroy can be a shit to do if there's nobody around

[silent mortar]

ah, you mean the She Drifts, Sea Gifts?

[radiant flame]

Yes

[silent mortar]

well, it gives you coins for the guild weekly and its really not hard to do. Its just a long rep, but quest itself not tedious. Like tooki one, that one is truly horrible, but it gives the soul

[radiant flame]

Why are you doing that weekly …

[silent mortar]

because why not? 🙂 It helps to get weekly contribution

[radiant flame]

Oh no I mean

[pseudo atlas]

isn't that the standard guild weekly along with boss rush and cube?

[radiant flame]

Why are you not just opening a chest

[silent mortar]

oh

what chest?

[radiant flame]

A sea coin chest

That completes the weekly

[silent mortar]

elaborate please, dont know anything about it

[radiant flame]

I’m about a second

You get sailing coin chests from daily rewards and event vendors from them to time

The chests which you can open and select any one of the sailing coins

You also get it from some first time island quest rewards

[quick ice]

if i clear clown rehersal on 1 of my char will i able to clear normal that week?

[maiden locust]

if you do rehearsel on a alt

what does it mean that the card catalog is full? We have a limit of the cards we can put?

[silent mortar]

huh, it says "ocean co-op quest completed" so i guessed that is about these coop treasure salvaging quests

[radiant flame]

You can expand it

[sonic mountain]

Where do people usually get their skins from

[radiant flame]

Royal crystals, auction house

[sonic mountain]

I see, thanks

[quick ice]

only normal mode finished lock roster out of rehersal mode, not vice versa right?

[maiden locust]

yes, but normal gets locked on the character that does rehearsel

[desert oyster]

my friend is dealing with constant disconnects every 15 minutes or so on EU West, on both servers. it isn't his internet, and ive looked online and apparently server issues are pretty common. is there anything he can do about it?

[silent mortar]

auction house for gold is a cheap alternative for crystalls. Sometimes you dont need a head piece or a weapon from Dawn sets for example. You just buy a chest + pants and that's it. Sometimes you dont even need pants from the set. So you buy less items for cheaper then buying a whole bundle for crystalls and then trying to sell pieces that you dont need.

[maiden locust]

ok another way to use our crystals lol 🙂

[maiden locust]

switch to euc

[desert oyster]

does EU central have better servers?

[maiden locust]

yes and more populated

[silent mortar]

well my ping today skyrocketed for some reason. From ~50 to 200-700. Im on EUC

[quick ice]

i see.

[desert oyster]

alright, thank you. we'll try that

[quick ice]

can i get clown title with rehersal mode?

[maiden locust]

if we have a copy of a card, does it count in the card catalog limit? Or the limit is for unique cards?

[silent mortar]

unique

[maiden locust]

yes

[maiden locust]

and can we remove cards from the catalog? 🙂

[radiant flame]

You shouldn’t

[maiden locust]

don't want to spend my crystals and I'm at the limit ^^

[radiant flame]

Completing the catalogue is pretty important

[maiden locust]

if you dont have the crystals just stash the cards

[radiant flame]

Up to you. Expanding the card catalogue is anything but a waste of crystals though

[maiden locust]

stash the cards?

[radiant flame]

Put it in storage

[maiden locust]

just keep them in storage

[maiden locust]

yes if I have enough room there 🙂 next time I'll add to the catalog the cards I really need and not just all the cards I get ^^

[pseudo atlas]

you can remove the card and still keep the catalogue bonus, you only need the card in there if you want to equip it or awaken it

[maiden locust]

and I guess crystals are not something we have plenty of 🙂

[radiant flame]

No but you can always buy more and expanding card slots is not expensive

[silent mortar]

yes, this is one of the things you have to do while playing this game. You dont need all of the card sets, you need like 3 or 4 of them completed, but since you're new player and still dont know which ones you activate all cards and when you get a card from set you actually need there is no space left for it. So you have to do that, in the end. Just buy them, its not to expensive.

[pseudo atlas]

you can buy blue crystals with gold, it's basically just another gold sink

[maiden locust]

yes but very expensive nowadays 🙂

[radiant flame]

🤷🏻‍♂️ card slots is still worth it. Crystals won’t exactly get cheaper and you will want all the cards. Anyway

[remote parrot]

should i dismantle these?

[radiant flame]

Yes

[silent mortar]

yes, but for small purchases its bearable. Once you build up your roster and lvl up your alts to at least 1370 you'll get a hefty income of gold per week, from 10 to 50k and more depends on the roster.

[remote parrot]

ok

[pseudo atlas]

i wouldn't expand card storage at this point, just delete some of the cards that are super easy to get more of and hold cards in regular storage

[radiant flame]

Assuming you’ve got your legendary gear

[remote parrot]

i got 4p chosen 2p preordain

well next week ill get my last chosen but i got no need for preordain

[radiant flame]

Ok that’s fine. Dismantle then

[remote parrot]

also i realized how bad honingt is now 10% for +16 ;-;

[radiant flame]

10% is good wym

Some of us are honing at 1.5 lol

I can’t wait to go back to 10% on Brel gear

[remote parrot]

well i once failed like 10 times for a 40%

10% gonna be even worse

[radiant flame]

I think you are exaggerating this, tbh

[remote parrot]

no srsly lol i have bad luck

[radiant flame]

Given if you were at 40 you would have hit pity before 10 tries

No but you literally can’t have that bad luck on 40%

[maiden locust]

is this doable to play this game without a full roster of alts? 🙂

[radiant flame]

Yes, but you’re gimping your own progress

[amber berry]

If i want an IGN off my old character, can i namechange her and then immediately take the name on a new toon??

[remote parrot]

theres pity?

[radiant flame]

It’s just incredibly hard to sustain without alts

[remote parrot]

from +14 to +15 theres pity?

[radiant flame]

There’s pity for everything

[remote parrot]

o when do we hit pity then?

[echo owl]

i would be surprised youd make it this far without knowing what the artisans energy is

[pseudo atlas]

i wouldn't

[sonic mountain]

Its the artisan's energy you see on the top lol

[remote parrot]

ik what artisan energy is but when does it become a garuenteed success like how muhc attempt it takes

[sonic mountain]

100% artisan

[maiden locust]

when its 100%

[remote parrot]

but doesnt each fail give only a few percent of artisan

[maiden locust]

yes

[radiant flame]

It depends on the fail %

At high % you get more artisan

[pseudo atlas]

it literally tells you how much artisan you get every time you hone, and at 40% success rate you're not just getting a few percent

[remote parrot]

oh ok i never rlly noticed much about the artisan all i know is if i failed honing i just go straight back in

[thin token]

true

[sonic mountain]

The lower your base success % is, the more attempts you're gonna need to pity basically

[silent mortar]

the thing almost nobody talks around but everybody told me - you never use honing Solar mats on an armor, only on weapons from 17 or 18+ and so on. Also, on 6-15 just use books, they are cheap af.

[pseudo atlas]

there are occasions where you would use solars on armor, so you don't end up at 99.99% artisan

[silent mortar]

and they DO save you gold, depending on your luck you can save up to couple of thousands with books that cost 15 gold each

[silent mortar]

yes, and this

[maiden locust]

I don't understand what the wallpaper reward is

[echo owl]

its the wallpaper you can select on character slect screen

[silent mortar]

its that thing that your characters pose

on the character selection screen

[maiden locust]

ah ok and when we have several we can select which one we want?

[sonic mountain]

Yea

[maiden locust]

ok thanks 🙂

[sonic mountain]

That's what the reward is for lol, to give you options on how you want your background to look

[maiden locust]

not a big reward, usually I see this screen just half a second 🙂

[ripe sedge]

Uh, guys... Did something happen to AH? I just tried searching for tripod gear for scrapper. Literally 0 listings for anything. Not even +1 gear.

[thin token]

lol tripod update is coming and ppl most likely bought all the tripods out, thats why everyone kept telling ppl to prepare early

[remote parrot]

? why

i just toss my solar mats and buff for honing success

[thin token]

because weapon mat amount cost so much more than armor

[silent mortar]

because weapon is the most useful item in your inventory (even for a support, in less impostance though) and it is expensive as fuck. From 17 to 18 (1445 to 1460) one weapon honing attempt costs you around 3-4k depending on AH prices

[maiden locust]

lol I'm afraid of abyss dungeon, reading the mechanics and wondering if i'll understand them and not wipe my party 🙂

[quiet drum]

I just got a character through Yorn and is gs600. Should I keep upgrading his tier1 gear to 802 or do dailies to get gear and save t1 mats for alts?

[remote parrot]

play support no one will blame u

[thin token]

9999 blue crystals cost like literally 2k cheap. 9999 red crystals cost like 13k last time i saw and weapon cost almost double the amount of greater leapstones and raw gold. So you want to use solars on weapon to decrease odds of failing as much as possible

u can continue use on armor if u want but thats kind of a waste

[radiant flame]

You will drop gs802 tier 2 gear in yorn chaos dungeon

Once you get it, gear transfer your t1 gear to it to get a free hone

[pliant owl]

Rn in my server, grudge books are selling for around 20k per piece. Is it still worth it to get it, even though I do NOT have the patience to wait for saving up to buy all 20 books? (2+ months)

[quiet drum]

Gotcha, gearing in this game is confusing

[maiden locust]

dont transfer its a waste of mats

[radiant flame]

I would look up a guide

[radiant flame]

Wym. It’s silver lol

You don’t use any mats

[silent mortar]

i know only two bosses in those dungeons that have not-so-much obvious tactic, and this works only for challenge abyssals. These are in Brelshaza's Hall of The Twisted Warlords dungeon, both first and last bosses. Everything else is "dont stand in red shit". Those can wipe you.
And normal abyssal dungeons are a joke anyway.

[maiden locust]

i mean the stones and stuff, when you transfer it goes to +1 and goes to +2 when you hone but it also goes to +2 from zero

its not much but still

[radiant flame]

I’m fairly sure you would hone from 1 to 3? I mean I guess I could be wrong

[maiden locust]

no

[radiant flame]

I mean they’re a joke because card runners carry everyone

[rose jewel]

you are indeed wrong (i think, i havent even honed a gear in the new system lmao) it goes from +1 to +2 from my understanding

[radiant flame]

Fair enough. I haven’t either

[rose jewel]

so you lose like... 2g worth of mats

[radiant flame]

It doesn’t really make sense but TIL

[silent mortar]

people told me that to skip rohendel and yorn KT you needto do Feiton manually and that triggers Punika's KT. But how do you get mats to upgrade 802 gear that you bought on AH? Tower? Challenge abyssals chests?

[rose jewel]

it was the same as when they did the express with the bonus hone % back in the days

[radiant flame]

Tower. AH.

[rose jewel]

ah, chaos dungeon, island runs, tower

[silent mortar]

they are a joke even for a group with sufficing ilvl. I ran a couple and shit still dies in 30 seconds.

[rose jewel]

we are more prepared, books, gems, we didnt had those

[radiant flame]

If you say so. I did them all around ilvl on mains from release and they weren’t that easy

Especially gates of paradise , people died a lot on gates

People didn’t understand stagger and died on rohendel

People still don’t understand first yorn dungeon boss

[silent mortar]

you can't do chaos dungeon from 802 to 960 because you do not complete yorn and rehendel with that technique. You do Feiton and then you can do Feiton ChD. AH neglates the whole point of not spending too much gold on transfers. I guess its a tower + abyssals

[radiant flame]

This is never the cheap version

It’s the time efficient version

If you want to save gold you do everything manually

[silent mortar]

if you do all KTs its both much more expensive and time inefficient, i guess

[silent mortar]

agreed

[radiant flame]

I have never KTed anything past vern

So if you want to do this KT route you are already committing to use gold instead of spending time doing content

At that point it’s all how much you value your time v gold

[silent mortar]

i DESPISE Rohendel. Its both boring and long as fuck to the point of not wanting to play this character anymore. I always KTed it before ppl told me about punika's version 🙂

[radiant flame]

You can skip rohendel anyway though

[pseudo atlas]

it's a lot easier to do the skipping to feiton when there are events that give a bunch of mats, but this event you have to choose between t2 or t3 mats

[radiant flame]

And this is true as well. It’s not good right now for t1/t2 honing

You could always just skip rohendel and go straight to yorn if you hated it

[silent mortar]

yes, this event sucks balls compaired to a previous one. You have no rewards for alts and i think that it even sells you less honing mats for you main

[silent mortar]

yeah, well, this game does not do a good work of explaining stuff to people so i did not even think of it in the first place 😄

[radiant flame]

Yeah, I don’t disagree. But it’s the nature of an MMO. Lots of systems. You do have to look a lot of things up yourself if you want to do things efficiently.

[silent mortar]

to be honest, being an MMO does not excuse not explainig how do base game systems works

[rose jewel]

yeah yeah i forgot you cant do cd earlier, but besides if you're doing that method you already should* have resources, its the zoom zoom method

[silent mortar]

agree

[radiant flame]

To be fair, I don’t think it’s part of the game system to let you skip continents

[silent mortar]

well, it kinda is, and it is one of the crucial game systems. The one that gives you a choice of choosing whether to do all content with your hands or just "buy" the levels for whatever currency - can be considered a major game system, in my opinion.

[maiden locust]

no

we dont get ancient accs till brell hard

dont think so but you can hold on to them and see

[silk shard]

They dont get updated

Ancient accessoires will be from a new box iirc

[maiden locust]

smart

[silver rain]

also Brel will have another box with 1490 chest which guarantee relic accs but already dropped box wont be upgraded to the one that contain 1490 chests when brel come

[maiden locust]

what does it mean when an item is tradable but unsellable? Thanks

[silver rain]

sell = vendor

[maiden locust]

I wonder because I have such items and I cannot put them on the market

[silver rain]

what item tho

[maiden locust]

powerful stone of birth

[silver rain]

you have to list gear on Auction tab not market

[maiden locust]

oh ok. What's the difference?

[blazing crater]

Need 2 more for Tranquil Karkosa Abyss anyone pls need for quest 😦 ??

[maiden locust]

guess I need to learn about auctions to start doing this lol 🙂

[silver rain]

just look at the left side tabs for what goes where. there's also 'bid' function on Auction

[maiden locust]

will check thanks. btw I wonder, if there is a way to check an armor power once it has been upgraded? For instance I have a chest piece at +15, and of course if I check another one non upgraded it is lower, but I would like to see how it will be once upgraded to +15 as well

[sonic mountain]

Gear gives the same ilvl

+15 on a chest piece gives the same ilvl as any other piece of gear on the same upgrade level.
If you mean individual stats themselves, at the right side of the honing screen you can see how much of the stats will be added on the next hone

[silver rain]

Pre-1370 the only difference will be bonus stats and that's about it

[ashen kindle]

Guys the basic oreha cost like 325 if i craft it and it will give me 30pcs and if i buy it for only 300 for 30pcs is it really worth it to craft?

nvm it only cost 247 for the mats my first math is wrong lmao

[silent mortar]

once i lvled up 960 i should just go to feiton if i did not do anything before it? I dont have a prequest there.

[silver rain]

You can just sail there and start doing feiton msq yes

[silent mortar]

ty

[polar spade]

Where can I drop 1370 gear?
Chaos dungeons seem to drop broken pieces and its getting real difficult

[rose jewel]

you dont drop it, you craft it

you need to clear (and please buy the boxes at the end) abyss dungeon HARD difficulty and argos

besides, those broken armors are not equipable by any mean, they just exist for tripods (you should investigate a bit about those at #info-dump )

[polar spade]

I seem to have missed this week's Oreha's hard then

[rose jewel]

if you do normal yes, you're locked for hard for the week

[polar spade]

I did the hard one, just didn't buy the box X_X

[rose jewel]

eh, not the end of the world, you just get one legendary armor less, 2 instead of 3 (2 armors 1 weapon)

slower progress, but that's all

[polar spade]

I don't remember getting the armor 😦

i got the accessories tho

[rose jewel]

^

[polar spade]

with what?

[rose jewel]

the items you get from abyss hard, go to the npc right next to the hone npc at punika

or bottom right at vern

[jade gale]

Is a relic spec ring with 5 raid captain and 3 or 2 esoteric possible?

[floral barn]

That's possible. It would be 5 raid Captain/3 esoteric

[polar spade]

oh god, I just dismantled sunset scales, cuz they have the same name is T2's crafting item X_X

[rose jewel]

though luck, wait for next week

your progression will be much slower tho, since first time clear awards you with like 20 of those

so you get around 15 a week, so week 1 (2) will be the weapon from abyss only, you can still go and do argos tho

you have 2 choices there if you havent done it;
1- buy a bus to part 3 and get enough items to craft 3 armors (DONT craft argos weapon)
2- do it like normal and get armors slowly, but you have fun doing your first real raid*

[polar spade]

isn't the Oreha gear for 1302 gs?

Why don't craft the weapon?

[rose jewel]

yes and no, you get to craft T3 1302 AND T3 1340

1340 Legendary gear comes at +6 when you transfer, so its 1370 by default, you dont lose item levels

[polar spade]

I see

[rose jewel]

argos weapon is useless and costs a lot for literally no increase in power compared to abyss weapon

[polar spade]

so either pick only the argos set or only the abyss set for set bonus right?

[rose jewel]

useless as in 1- a lot of blood, best to use for armors and then dismantle for G.H.Leapstones and 2- argos full set is only 5 set, not 6

also no, you can live with 2 argos 4 abyss forever until 1445 relic

or a combination of the above, 5/1, 3/3, whatever works, you will migrate to new shiny more powerful gear at 1445

[polar spade]

1370 to 1445 seems like a long journey ahead 😦

[rose jewel]

it is, but starting at 1415 you will have more fun at the game with legion raids

[polar spade]

I see

[rose jewel]

also, 1415+ hone chance goes to 10% btw

[polar spade]

will I go bankrupt tho
if I were to buy bus then spend thousands of gold to craft and hone argos gears

just the initial crafting price seems expensive enough

[rose jewel]

my sweet summer child

[polar spade]

oh my, what are you gonna tell me

[rose jewel]

you will never be rich in this game, all the gold you get, you spend it, otherwise if you have a lot of gold but not spend it, you will be stuck

you just dropped an accesory worth 10k? nice! that's gone in a blink

besides artisan energy needing a lot more hones to reach pity (you will get a lot of those starting at 1415)

let me go to the hone npc to show you smt

mats and gold needed PER TAP for a +17 weapon

5% success chance btw

[polar spade]

and what would be a good spot to park main's gs, considering I just want to be average, but able to catch up with all contents?

[rose jewel]

and it goes lower and lower

[polar spade]

and how did you have that 200k gold?

[rose jewel]

by not honing for weeks

full roster 1445+ (6 chars)

[polar spade]

saving up for something?

[rose jewel]

yeah for lost ark 3 on unreal engine 6

[polar spade]

o_O

[rose jewel]

i will buy books later so, all that will go poof in seconds

[polar spade]

oh already got full toster I see

[rose jewel]

a full 1430+ roster (with main higher ofc) will net you around 40 to 50k a week in raw gold

something like that i forgot but its "a lot"

[polar spade]

what's the min gs for clown?

[rose jewel]

or so you think until you go hone someone and you're broke again

rehearsal which is like an easy mode, 1385, normal clown 1475

[polar spade]

so u aren't going for clown?

btw 6 characters? how long does it take to do all dailies?

[rose jewel]

so, 1- go clear hard abyss dungeon, craft leggo armor/weapon, also clear argos and get armor as well
2- keep honing
3- at 1415 hone chance will go down hard quick, you can also start doing Valtan, fun stuff
4- 1430 vykas opens up, sexy succubus
5- 1445 new relic armor, stronk effects more damage, valtan hard mode
6- 1460 vykas hard mode, you also get to research stronghold stuff for your alts, 1370>1415 increased chance to hone and less shards used
7- clown

i do resteds on all of them, sometimes i dont even play at all, i take break days here and there, i dont want a 2nd job in this game, i play for fun and progress slower than most

so its like 1hr a day, 2 or 3 at most when i do some legion raids

and yes i go for clown, but only on my main coz that's the only char 1475+

(you cant do rehearsal once you do normal)

[polar spade]

wow thanks for the info

I'll keep that on my spread sheet

[rose jewel]

ah i forgot argos info

1370 is both required item level to enter and recommended for gate 1
1385 recommended for gate 2
1400 recommended for gate 3

you can enter all 3 gates at 1370, but gate 2 and 3 will kick your butt and most of your attacks will get blocked, you're useless tldr, so you can either buy a bus for p3 if you're lower than 1400 (you get 2700g for the 3 gates, bus costs around 1k gold and you get more mats, its a win win) or you can go and manually do gate 1, slower progression but more fun

bus = pay people to carry you, lots of busses in party finder (its not something i encourage to do, but it does indeed fasten your progression)

[waxen wing]

is lost ark still region closed for some players? currently i am busy so that i cant check

[nimble geyser]

@waxen wing yeah

[waxen wing]

rip

[nimble geyser]

Korean guyz and Denmark guyz have same issue

[polar spade]

last follow up question, is there a point in running lower contents as your gs are past them?
say running Oreha at 14xx or
or Doing normal Argos and Valtan when you're at 1430(Vykas)

[nimble geyser]

not for Baltan and Vykas buf oreha yes , you can have card and book so

[polar spade]

thanks

[nimble geyser]

you can drop card on T1 T2 Void to btw if you have time you can do that to

[polar spade]

what's void?

[nimble geyser]

oreha is a void, the other dungeon T1 T2

[polar spade]

I see thanks

[rose jewel]

abyss dungeon, called in the west

[polar spade]

got it!

[noble plover]

alright so i took a long break from the game, came back and realized i really didnt like the wardancer class for various reasons, got 50 hours into it and had just gotten the 4th ark an did my first guardian dungeon... my issue is i decided to make an assassin and I used a power pass and i guess that let me keep my stats and everything from my old main

issue is, all my quests are gone and I cant initiate any others

[rose jewel]

what powerpass, vern?

btw how dare you not like wardancer, she a qt

i may take long to answer coz im in a run

[noble plover]

i wanted to like wardancer, but me and my duo would do chaos dungeon and guardian and id just get swept under the rug in terms of damage lol

vern pass yeah

[cloud pendant]

What’s the quickest of getting from t1 to t3 for my alts? And roughly how long it will take to get to t3 considering doing the normal stuff everyday

[rose jewel]

sadly WD is one of the classes that comes online way later down the road, she needs relic gear and accesories, otherwise her CDs and damage is kinda... miserable

however, when you do get those, its a total game changer (you wont see single massive digits, she's more of a multi small hits, but still way lower cooldowns and you got 2 extremely good synergies)

[cloud pendant]

Also does bard or pally needs the second awakening for support? Or can I live with the first awakening for supporting.

[noble plover]

any idea about the quests thing @rose jewel ?

[upper acorn]

Returning player that would like to actually do argos and not get carried, is this even something that’s doable rn and if so how should I go about it

[rose jewel]

1- days if you only gather yourself everything, unless you have several alts to funnel everything, still tower is a massive mat gain for all of them
2- use the awakening that shields

[rose jewel]

vern powerpass completes every single main story and yellow (and some hidden) quests, your next goal is to hone your 302 gear and sail to rohendel (460 item level to start the continent story)

[cloud pendant]

Bard first awakening is shields yea?

[rose jewel]

Symphonia, yes

[cloud pendant]

Pally however is second awakening ?

[rose jewel]

no idea, i forgot

[noble plover]

ooohhhh ok

that makes sense

[cloud pendant]

How do I funnel t1 and t2 mats to alts now that all other alts now t3?

[rose jewel]

you can either open up a learning party, get into a guild and ask for guidance there, or go to matchmaking (matchmaking only does part 1, they never will go past that, but its basically a free for all, 50/50 you get good people or bad/toxic ones ;D)

do you only have 1 alt at t1/2? then buy the mats and do tower, you should have gold to spare for a couple leaps and a lot of stones if needed, you get gold for that, to invest and get more later (first do tower)

this is the shield for paly

which is indeed the 2nd awakening

[upper acorn]

Ok Thankyou!

Also I’m learning how important stats are, and how shit my currently are lol. How do I go about fixing that, just do dailies til I get good jewelry?

[rose jewel]

you're starting out the game... so, the best thing you can do is actually speedrun to tier 3, where the real content begins https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/road-to-rohendel

tier 1 and 2 are dead content, sadly, but you will benefit a lot by reaching t3, more resources, way stronger to do lower content or horizontal content as needed, cooler fights and raids

[ashen kindle]

the aldebaran gift set from Mystic have a good drop?

[rose jewel]

you craft those

they are together, any mayor city

[ashen kindle]

whats inside of it?

[rose jewel]

nothing, you dont open them

[ashen kindle]

weird

[rose jewel]

unless im mistaken it for some other item

[upper acorn]

U trade gift sets to a vendor right next to the one u make ‘em at

[rose jewel]

yeah i was right then

go look at the npcs first

[ashen kindle]

i can craft 100 of them

[rose jewel]

you need, weekly, 24 tier 1, 10 tier 2 and 2 tier 3 to empty the shop (one more tier 3 for the one time thing and prob a couple 2s, check yourself the shop)

[ashen kindle]

i can craft gift set 1 for 201 pcs and set 2 for 144 and 3 for 47

already bought the mats and silver

[rain meadow]

Thought it was 25 tier 1

[rose jewel]

25 it is then, i forgot the exact number

[ashen kindle]

this mokoko number is skin?

[rain meadow]

Hammer? Its a toy i think, i havent picked a colour yet lol

[ashen kindle]

i see

[rose jewel]

its a toy

[alpine charm]

where can I test stagger?

[rose jewel]

i dont think you can test that anywhere

this should help however https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z8QShwtSd4r0bZBtAoDjm--efvC54RrbK1A_IRXDbsA/edit#gid=1253684704

[river lynx]

Trixion
Summon either a Boss Monster or a Named Monster
Attack spawned monster
Look at its stagger bar

[rose jewel]

oh we have that

honestly i never go there lol sry

[cloud pendant]

It it worth buying t1 shards with gold?

[rose jewel]

do you have excess of gold to the point you have no idea what to do with it

[ashen kindle]

does crafting orehas give you 2x proc?

[rose jewel]

sometimes

[ashen kindle]

okay thnks

[edgy tulip]

i have grudge 12 and im considering getting cursed doll 12 but is it even worth given how expensive class accessories are? i play a lot of different classes so grudge and cd are the only shared engraving

[torpid flicker]

cd is a bad engraving tho idk

[cloud pendant]

May I ask what type of class combinations you guys play? I find dps being too hard to find raid party. Looking for party takes longer than the raid itself

Very sick of waiting and getting rejected to most party

[torpid flicker]

its usually them looking for someone with a title or an extremely overgeared character

most lobby leads are idiots

[rain meadow]

Roster is currently sorc, scrapper, db, destroyer, and 2 bards, i mainly raid with a static however

[rose jewel]

if you are low roster lv, dont have the raid's title equiped, not over leveled (item) by a long shot or extremely good engravings, yeah, you may get rejected more than usual (aka stupidity and NA mentality)

if you are extremely budget, well, get a guild/static

[torpid flicker]

ye guild runs are great for alts tbh

helps alot

[runic tundra]

what if we check the guardian souls harvest but we didnt take it . do we lose the souls count |

[torpid flicker]

yep lost

gone, poof, forever
its a stoopid system

[runic tundra]

lmaoo

[ashen kindle]

i pity my weapon wtf

[rose jewel]

welcome to t3

[fair mantle]

At least it wasn't anything above 21 🙂

[rose jewel]

imagine

[ashen kindle]

yeah it was 16to17

[rose jewel]

get used to it

[ashen kindle]

I 1 tap my head piece

is that worth it? lmao Pity + 1 tap lol

[fair mantle]

Wdym worth it lmao

[rose jewel]

what is the question there?

[noble plover]

so if i have 0 rest bonus and 0 aura of res, doing chaos and guardian raids wont give me enough stuff to hone my gear

and i dont have any quests or anything else to do, so do i just like... get off? am i bound to just sit and wait 12+ hours to do more dungeons?

[fair mantle]

Depends on what point in the game you are

[torpid flicker]

if u did everything, u close pc, u go be productive irl then come back tomorrow

[fair mantle]

There are a lot of other sources than just chaos and guardians

[noble plover]

its 2 in the morning

and im level 50 fresh off the vern pass

[fair mantle]

Oh then you have tons of other sources, pirate coin vendor bloodstone vendor, the event vendor and one of the major sources is islands, lemme link a guide for islands sec

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

[noble plover]

ill check it out, i appreciate it 👍

[radiant token]

What is the best platinum field to do?

The one with relics or the one with ores?

[exotic egret]

foraging

[radiant token]

And is there a map showing the location of the relics on the relic map?

Should I have level 30 to do foraging there?

[exotic egret]

yes, otherwise you will lose quite amount of gold

depend on region, for me in EUC i could get around 4k~6k gold per run by doing foraging ( last run was 1 or 2 weeks ago)

[radiant token]

I'm at 27, is there a way for me to get the exp fast so I can get to 30?

[exotic egret]

by buying Leap Essence, go to Mederick Monastery or Lullaby island to do foraging
tho idk if you will have enough lifeskill energy to get to 30 in one day

[ashen kindle]

does anguish isle give bunch of GHL?

[exotic egret]

normal one only i think, from the vendor

[ashen kindle]

okay thanks

[frail jungle]

what fucking itemlevel do you need to clear thronespire 25? I got a 1445 scrapper with 3x3 AND IT S DOING SO LITTLE DAMAGE TO MOBS AND PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE CLEAR IT WITH 1385 WHAT THE FUCK

[fallow trail]

There’s no clear item level needed to clear it. You can try to get a 4x3 and better tripods for thronespire mobs specifically rather than for raid content. Also if you’re really desperate, try to bring some battle items.

[fair mantle]

People have different accesories, tripods, card sets etc which you probably don't, depends on the class as well

[fallow trail]

Also once you get your 6 piece from legion raids, you’ll do a lot more damage as well.

[ashen kindle]

I’m at 1435 with 4x3 can’t even finish stage 23 at thronespire

[solemn crane]

Is it better to do deskalude everyday or kung only rested?

[slender stump]

Kung everyday

[ancient lark]

leap wise it's the same

[solemn crane]

got it ty

[buoyant herald]

if you do deska daily why not do turtle daily ? usually turtle is faster than birb for me

[fair mantle]

Just do turtle daily

[low trail]

soaks your battle items

[sour blade]

my rhapsody of light is at level 10 (shining protection) but whenever I use the skill, i don't see the shields pop up at all

I tried testing it in training ground if i had to land the hit for the skill to generate the shield but i don't see anything still :(

[nimble geyser]

Generate a shield for your ally not ya if I'm right

[snow wadi]

ye, it's just for allies iirc, that's why you put a protection rune on it

[sour blade]

ahh i see, thanks

[buoyant herald]

ooh no 2 items per char

[maiden locust]

1 honing relic lvl = 1 honing ancient lvl?

[buoyant herald]

yeah

[amber berry]

if i want an IGN off an existing character, can i use NameChange on her - then claim the name on a new toon??

[maiden locust]

oh thx

It's better to be how much lvl at relic?

[buoyant herald]

at least 1490 1505 max imo

[maiden locust]

i guess it's useless to rush 25 then with 2%

yes ok thx man

[amber berry]

its my understanding that

[buoyant herald]

25 is the biggest waste of money ever

[amber berry]

+21 Is really efficient on these 'old' materials

for your armors especially

[buoyant herald]

nah if you wanna be max efficient you leave your gears at +20
21 is still pretty good but anything past that is madness

[tulip plaza]

Do you trust me?

[amber berry]

thats what im saying, still pretty decent to get +21 so if ur bored might as well get that. no diminishing returns, but after that yeah - its an int

[tulip plaza]

Then the answer is yes.

[amber berry]

where did you hear from, if you remember? because i thought i heard it on s1's stream way back months ago

[fair mantle]

Saint swapped the names of his sorc and scouter but I have no clue how you go about doing that

[amber berry]

he did a 1:1 swap?... hmm

maybe he changed his scouter's name, took it on sorc with her change?

but thats good news, means it works then i just didnt want the name to evaporate

[tulip plaza]

https://youtu.be/99iEkEhlqwI

[amber berry]

Thank you sir

[ashen kindle]

guys are the auction region wide?

[rose jewel]

yes

[leaden rose]

how do u unlock abyss raid?

i do not see the quest on the map or even on my quest journal, ilvl 1370 atm

[fair mantle]

Should be a purple guide quest, maybe you already did it? Can you still not access Argos

[leaden rose]

no i cant access it

[fair mantle]

It should be there then you probably missed it

[leaden rose]

idk i dont see abyss raid quest anywhere in the map either

[buoyant herald]

guide tab

[leaden rose]

ohhhh guide tab

[hollow crest]

is there a place to check for weekly gold income from legion raids and their respective box cost?

[rose jewel]

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

[hollow crest]

You guys should update the pinned one with this^^^

[buoyant herald]

mods have abandoned this channel
havent seen one in months

[hollow crest]

oh Smoge

[buoyant herald]

can always ping one but eh

[rose jewel]

i dont want a warn lol

[runic tundra]

i hit item level 1370 , how i progress next

[maiden locust]

lol I was the only one alive in the raid and when I died, boss was at 0,1% 🙂

[radiant flame]

you need to transfer your 1302 gear to legendeary gear

[runic tundra]

where do i get the gear

[radiant flame]

you get legendary gear from argos and oreha hard

[buoyant herald]

fuck em they should at least come to visit sometimes

[radiant flame]

you can get all pieces done in 1 week if you still have oreha available, by running oreha hard and buying the chest, and then doing p3 argos (probably via a bus) and buying the chest

[light kelp]

Do people just not do guardian raids? Tryuing to get my gear to 600 and theres like no one in match makijg

[radiant flame]

you need to craft the weapon with oreha mats

[buoyant herald]

no one doing low level ones yeah

[light kelp]

damn

ty for the info

[buoyant herald]

can do them solo get you class engraving+ some other at least lvl 1 or 2 and fix your stats should be easy to solo them

[runic tundra]

@radiant flame so i had to stick with the 1370 first until oreha reset?

[radiant flame]

no you can do argos p3 still

or p1 if you want to play i guess

but p3 is efficient via a bus

[maiden locust]

I usually have no issue finding a guardian raid

[radiant flame]

also if you're playing NA it's like middle of the night

[buoyant herald]

guess it depends on region too

[maiden locust]

though to upgrade gear to 600 I did more chaos dungeons than guardian raids

[runic tundra]

@radiant flame what is p3 and p1 , im new

[radiant flame]

argos has 3 phases

and you can take rewards at the end of whatever phase you reach

but each phase has different ilvl requirements (1370, 1385, 1400), but it's a soft requirement and you can still start later phases at the lowest ilvl (1370)

so you can get a bus (or a carry), where high ilvl players will just carry someone at 1370 through to p3 so you get max rewards

i would read up some guides on gear progression and abyss raids (and later legion raids) on maxroll

[runic tundra]

how do i find this bus or carry usually ?

[radiant flame]

because you are now in endgame and all of this is quite easy to find out if you look

[radiant flame]

they're in party finder and there is also a discord which i don't think we are allowed to advertise

[rose jewel]

yep, nope

[radiant flame]

you typically buy a gem, so make sure you know how to do that

if you want to use a service

i do not typically advocate bussing but argos is such a dumb setup

[runic tundra]

alright , will hit maxroll for more guide , thanks for your help

[rose jewel]

the bad thing is that its the best progression wise

[maiden locust]

how should I read such a treasure map? 🙂

[radiant flame]

yeah, that's what i mean

[slender stump]

Maxroll, treasure map guide

[snow wadi]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/tip-name-treasuremap-301-quest-guide

[maiden locust]

ok thanks will check

[leaden rose]

so, is it worth if i switch away tier 2 stone to tier 3 stone, but i lose all my actual main engravings for my class?

because the tier 3 stones i have dont even give me the engravings i actually need...

[slender stump]

Very long quest, but would recommend not skipping cutscenes and enjoy it

[rose jewel]

you get quite a good chunk of hp, besides at t3 you want a relic stone, way more hp and more engravings

[leaden rose]

where do i get the relic stone

[light kelp]

yeam im NA. I work nights so I sleep durning the day

[gray horizon]

server down?

[rose jewel]

1415 ilv and you can buy it or get from quests

[leaden rose]

another question, in argos party finder, im only seeing phase 3 rooms, can i still do p3 argos despite my ilvl? which is ilvl1370 btw

[inner wing]

Yes you can

[slender stump]

You can enter, but won't deal any damage at p2/3

[fair mantle]

I would recommend buying a bus

But go ahead if you wanna do it yourself but pretty much no one will take you into a P3 party unless they feel like carrying

[maiden locust]

You van matchmake for p1 but that's just despair

[leaden rose]

well im support so...

not like i do damage anyway

[rose jewel]

3x3 engravings and knowing what to do and when

[maiden locust]

Then they might take you

[rose jewel]

but nah i wouldnt nowadays

[leaden rose]

but i can do mechs

well time to do some begging

[inner wing]

[leaden rose]

wait do ppl actually matchmake argos?

i thought matchmaking is dead

[inner wing]

If they do, it shouldn't go beyond P1

[leaden rose]

system wont let u?

[radiant flame]

no you can but people above 1400 won't mm

people will mm all content, but in raid content you kind of need some reasonable setup in your raid group to clear if you are around ilvl

so yeah, gl clearing if you end up with a bunch of people with no engravings and wrong stats

not to mention you need to clear mechs too

[rose jewel]

mechs will kill them all unless they watched a guide, and even then panic will kill them all

[muted crest]

do u still have to wait 3 days to trade skins bought with royal crystals

[leaden rose]

a panic? as in literal panic or mechanic called "panic"

[radiant flame]

no he means a literal panic

[leaden rose]

i c

how come i cant gear transfer my blue gear to purple gear

[radiant flame]

what purple gear

[leaden rose]

hero's worn

[radiant flame]

from chaos dungeon? you can't use it

[inner wing]

Read the tooltip

[radiant flame]

you can't use any of the gear from chaos dungeon now

you have to craft your gear from now on

[leaden rose]

tf

[radiant flame]

idk, read a gear progression guide smh

[gaunt sleet]

are the chests inside this chest tradable?

[slender stump]

It says untradable

[radiant flame]

he means the chests inside the chest

[slender stump]

Still shouldn't be tradable (idk)

[radiant flame]

why? you have engraving chests which aren't tradeable but you can trade the engravings inside them

[merry reef]

Is there any difference in the crystal packs that sell for 5500 RC or I can just get any

[narrow eagle]

1445 bard can do enough for tw drops right ?

[radiant flame]

should be fine. i would party up

[nimble geyser]

no that's the region lock issue

[cloud pendant]

Does bard struggle in chaos dungeons?

[radiant flame]

no

no class does

red portal is a bit annoying but other than that

[maiden locust]

is this a translation issue that we earn iron ore while mining copper ore?

[radiant flame]

no

[maiden locust]

oh? I find it strange to gather something different from the thing I'm mining

[radiant flame]

i mean it doesn't matter

there's only one set of mining resources, that's why

[nimble geyser]

yeah it change since a long time (before global release) before we need to gather resources at different spots

[maiden locust]

oh there is no level of mining stuff with different names as we have in gathering?

[copper glade]

anyone got this? how to fix this thing?

[amber berry]

does reaper release with the balance patch/tripod update??

[maiden locust]

I have seen that there is a una quest on runaway island to get a charisma potion, but I can't see this quest, is it because I need to do first the other runaway island una quest?

[radiant flame]

yes, most likely they will all come at once

[radiant flame]

no, just rarity

[amber berry]

https://tenor.com/view/reverse-cum-milk-burst-funny-coom-reverse-cum-coom-milk-gif-21934260

need i say more

[nimble oak]

anyone claim the second hammer from mystic and it replaced your first hammer in the inventory?

[maiden locust]

seems the stones are not worth selling on the market when I see the price they are, better to dismantle them no? 🙂

[willow sorrel]

Can someone explain me why I cant use that outfit for stronghold bonus?

[flat dagger]

If they aren't worth ~100+ gold then I just dismantle them.

[restive fable]

just lost 24m silver cause the game lagged when i bought a cooking key ingredient from merchant, any chance to get my silver back?

[snow wadi]

How did a lagging game made u purchase stuff for 24m silver? o.O

[restive fable]

idk.. it bought 17 pieces...

wanted to buy 1 lmao

[buoyant herald]

can try sending a ticket but its tough

make sure you still have them on you

[restive fable]

damn would be a big thing if they would refund, 24m silver hurts

[buoyant herald]

yeah 24m is a good chunk

[maiden locust]

tooki island pops at a random place, right? And how long does it stay up?

[restive fable]

anyways ty, ill just hope i guess

[silver rain]

Yep 3 mins same as other timed island

[snow wadi]

Will they ever disable relic sets on pvp islands?
Those islands are already dumb to play without being 2 shot by some weird lighnting aura

[ashen kindle]

I feel like I’m gonna pity my chest piece should I stop?

[radiant flame]

?!

and....never hone it again?

[tacit monolith]

quick question. im going to asia in a week for a few weeks and was wondering if i can just play normally like always just with higher ping. playing on EUC rn

[radiant flame]

just treat honing as like an exp bar - you will eventually get success through pity

[ashen kindle]

This sounds so bad yet there’s a hope

[radiant flame]

why is it bad? it's healthier

[sonic mountain]

That's why pity system exists lol

[radiant flame]

better than games where you don't have any pity system

[sonic mountain]

So you don't fail infinitely

[ashen kindle]

There’s no good on a word “pity” that’s why it’s called pity

[dapper geyser]

chaos line is weekly per roster right?

[sand bridge]

do i push my main to 1460 then push the alts to 1415 or the other way around??

[rain meadow]

Try to get to 1460 first for the stronghold honing research

[sand bridge]

thats what im thinking too

[dapper geyser]

plus you can wait for reaper release to see if they give out another 1415 powerpass

[radiant flame]

you mean express event

[ashen kindle]

What buff does 1460 give to alts?

[sand bridge]

idk if i wanna risk it

[radiant flame]

there is no 1415 powerpass

[sand bridge]

fuggg

[radiant flame]

you research honing buff in stronghold

[ashen kindle]

T3 buff?

[radiant flame]

which increases honing chance up to 1415

yes, for t3 legendary gear

[ashen kindle]

I see cause I’m only using the early T3 buff

[sand bridge]

thats what im thinking cuz the event buff is stronger then the stronghold buffs

[radiant flame]

no it's still worth it to research

[ashen kindle]

I’m just gonna push all my alts to 1370 then hone my main again

[radiant flame]

you save so much gold with the stronghold buff

[sand bridge]

yeah but the buff is going away 16th no?

[radiant flame]

no?

[ashen kindle]

No

[sand bridge]

oh

[radiant flame]

the global buffs are permanent

[sand bridge]

really?

[radiant flame]

yes

[ashen kindle]

For me I have 2 alts that reach t3 yesterday I’m pushing My sh first

[sand bridge]

oh ok im pushing my main then kekw

[ashen kindle]

My goal for now is for my 4 alts to reach 1379

1370*

Then my main to 1445 then my 2nd main to 1415

[radiant flame]

as before, i would wait until your main is 1460

[ashen kindle]

Also I bought 200 pheon for tripod before patch

[ashen kindle]

I thought about this one too but it’s too expensive

[sand bridge]

whens the tripod patch coming?

[ashen kindle]

They say Nov but I have no idea

[radiant flame]

probably 16 nov, but no confirmation

[mint crescent]

guys what happens to the tripods gears after the tripod update? should i dismantle it?

[ashen kindle]

My sorc needs like 12 more tripod then my scrapper need 18😂 it’s gonna be expensive

[sand bridge]

i have tripods for my main but my poor alts

[ashen kindle]

If I learn it correctly it will be deleted

[dapper geyser]

u can sell it but idk what's better to hold it or sell it 🤷‍♂️

[ashen kindle]

Then the tripods on your inventory will be automatically use well you can choose

[mint crescent]

so i should dismantle it now right?

[radiant flame]

if there are no good tripods yes

[mint crescent]

ok thx

[ashen kindle]

Sell it. Before you sell it make sure you save it to your inventory

[mint crescent]

[sand bridge]

cant you paste your inventory tripods and keep selling them?

[radiant flame]

i mean no don't just ave everything

[ashen kindle]

Yeah my bad make sure the one you save is the one you needed

[dapper geyser]

do pet enhancement tokens always drop x1 or is this furry midget fkn kidding me?

[radiant flame]

no you can't sell stuff you transfer inventory tripods onto

[mint crescent]

same for me

[sand bridge]

can you make setting for a spesific character or is it universal?

[fair mantle]

If you're talking keybinds and all that then universal

[sand bridge]

[maiden locust]

hi, where do I find the recipe for trade skill tool restoration kit? Is it with npc exchange? Adventure tome? Somewhere else? Thanks

[radiant flame]

should just be in stronghold? i don't think you need to research it

unless you have an expert or master craft kit though, it is not worth restoring

just recraft an epic one from scratch

[maiden locust]

seems it cost less to restore it than making a new one no? The cost is 40 gold to make 80 kits, and craft one tool is something like 20 gold

[fair mantle]

A npc in the stronghold sells it

[maiden locust]

ok thanks

[radiant flame]

i think the resources to make the kits is more? and also, it's not 1 kit = full restore

[maiden locust]

ah ok

[radiant flame]

i think it's 1 kit is 1 extra durability

[merry reef]

yea 40 gold for 80 kits doesnt sound right

[radiant flame]

tldr, don't restore epic and lower kits

[maiden locust]

do I loose the same max durability if my tool is at 0 or like 20, when I repair it? So, to know, is it better to repair it when it is at 0 to spare max durability?

[radiant flame]

you lose max durability when you use the tool

not when you repair it

[ashen kindle]

I craft oreha mats I can’t sell any

[maiden locust]

do rare trade tools really worth the price? (29 gold and the mats) or I could as well use the green one from merchants?

notice adept ones (elite I think) cost 99 golds ^^

[radiant flame]

er, i think there is no reason to not use purple tools

you want some of the additional perks on them

[shy yarrow]

worth it for the rng perks on each of them, makes doing trade skills much more efficient

[radiant flame]

for some tools like hunting and excavating you would want non-interruption from attacks as well as basic reward bonus etc

100g is nothing

if you are struggling for gold, then you are not at a point yet when you need to worry about life skills so much

[maiden locust]

depends, when you just have 1038golds it matters 🙂

[radiant flame]

read what i said above then

[maiden locust]

I am increasing my life skills while I play to not do that later on and have to catch up later

[radiant flame]

it doens't take long to catch up at all

but right now you are kind of spending time doing somethign that doesn't really help your progression

[hot path]

Anyone has a map with gatherables on it?

[radiant flame]

there are some for excavation. but i don't have them to hand

[maiden locust]

yes maybe. Though I still needs mats to craft things in my stronghold ^^ and I do uma quests for that too

[radiant flame]

but craft what?

fusion mats?

you don't need to craft anything in this game

it's slightly more economical to do it for fusion mats which is probably the most critical thing in crafting

but you're also not exactly going to be able to craft many of those with only 1k gold

regardless if you are planning to use tools to actually gather things for crafting, you would want better tools to do it, and investing in a purple tool is - for me - a no brainer

doesn't the ark pass even give you a purple tool selection chest?

[maiden locust]

the research and stuff like that in my stronghold requires wood and iron no?

I have a lot of chest I didn't open yet 🙂 Unsure for the tool selection chest and unsure at what ark pass level it is

[radiant flame]

yes sure, those does, but shouldn't be a huge quantity. i would do it when you just go around doing story/islands or whatever

[maiden locust]

I am only at ark pass 7 and I have seen no such chest

Yes I never use a lot of times doing trade skills, usually sometimes I do it like 10 minutes to change from quest and fight, and to do my una quests

[little leaf]

Hello I just started arthetine, in lvl 49 and half way to 50, do I still do all side quests or just do the main one now? And after 50 is it still worth it to do side q

[sand bridge]

wait so this is not the express buff but a global perma buff?

[fair mantle]

Yes

[grave aspen]

hey, my partner has played from day 1 like me, and has not missed a single chaos gate since. He still doesnt have the legendary rage rune. This is really weird.

[fair mantle]

Main quests

[little leaf]

Are the resources from side ones insignificant after? And don't I need them for the 100% the zone?

[fair mantle]

It's rng, maybe he even dropped it and forgot to use it

[little leaf]

It's my first char , 3rd day of playing

[fair mantle]

No and no

I mean they're insignificant

[tropic steppe]

Crafting t3 fusion mats right now isn't something I'd recommend anyway, as the new ones we'll get with brelshaza release will be craftable with the same mats, and surely more expensive due to a lack of supply for the whales.
I believe its probably more cost efficient right now to just straight up buy oreha fusions to keep the mats to craft and sell/use the new materials when it comes out

[maiden locust]

me, I do all quests, main, side, I decide to take my time playing and I like doing quests 🙂 also they give virtues, always helpful 🙂

[fair mantle]

Not all side quests give virtues

[little leaf]

I see

[fair mantle]

In fact only a few do

[little leaf]

I have to revisit them anyway to 100% then as in 50/60 % in all of then

[maiden locust]

I have an allergy to exclamation marks 🙂 so I do them so the marks disappear 🙂

[grave aspen]

I know its RNG, and he never dropped it as he has very clean bags. He has done an unbelievable amount.

[tropic steppe]

It's rng yeah...I was in the same boat as him until a few weeks ago.
He'll probably get it soon

[fair mantle]

That's your choice it's just horizontal content, even though I'm so deep into the game I only have like couple 100%

[little leaf]

I see

[grave aspen]

Hes just so frustrated as everyone we know got it, and i got it first chaos gate i did.

[little leaf]

Well I'm new and there's so much stuff to do and damn sistems, and more will be unlocked on 50

[grave aspen]

And he needs it too!

[tropic steppe]

Take your time and enjoy it!

[fair mantle]

I wouldn't say an unbelievable amount the game has been out for like 32 weeks even if he did 4 per week it's still 130ish

[tropic steppe]

Yep and Id assume the drop rate is probably like 1%

[fair mantle]

And I'm pretty sure the lower ones don't even drop them so even less

[little leaf]

I wish I had more human interactions, only 2 ppl chated back to me in this whole time and in soon 50, and I'm not talking about bots, it feels more like a time wasting game whit time waste gimmicks but the bosses in dungeons where preety fun, otherwise I'm a bit let down

[fair mantle]

An epic - legendary rage isn't an upgrade that isn't needed as such, just tell him to keep grinding ig

[grave aspen]

Hes never missed a single chaos gate that drops the rune 🥲

[tropic steppe]

The dungeons and raids get better.
As for human interaction I'd blame it on the fact that its lower level content and not alot of people are there but... Most MMOs have that issue.

[little leaf]

I had more interaction in wow private servers whit 300-500 ppl on

At earlyer lvls , at least the 1/2 ppl u meet would do content whit u or chat back

[fair mantle]

Well tier 1- tier 3 is like a week of work after so many buffs so anyone you would expect to play with has been playing the game for less than a week which isn't a big number

[little leaf]

I guess ppl who make alts are just speedruning back to raids

Wish I could have played on release

[fair mantle]

Just don't fomo, get in a guild and you'll be good

[little leaf]

I don't even know what I can miss out on, there's to much stuff

[fair mantle]

You can even just ask guilds to let you into their private chat rooms if not the guild itself

[fair mantle]

If you discover something you can always come back to it 🙂

[little leaf]

Also I hate engraving it's so wierd

[fair mantle]

Wdym

You don't even need to touch engravings yet you're not even level 50

[hot path]

LA is pretty chill to play actually. just relax and set your own speed, imho. nothing to gain when speedrunning to the end expect being bored

[little leaf]

Like I got 20/20 of my class engraving but I have only 3/10 points in it so I won't even get the first bonus

[fair mantle]

Yeah that's fine you don't need it

[little leaf]

Do I have to rank it up whit books to get more points or get it on stones

But I do want it

[fair mantle]

You rank up the books and get it from accesories

[hot path]

green, blue, gold can also be leveled to 2/2 each

[fair mantle]

Stones can't have class engravings

[hot path]

20/20

[fair mantle]

And you'll just get it naturally from quests or other vendors

[little leaf]

So how do I max mien out? Do I just need blue and other books

[fair mantle]

Yes you will need the next rarity books x20 which is blue

[little leaf]

I also saw general engravings I can get, but what's the poin if u have those on the stone?

[fair mantle]

That gives you 6 nodes

Also @little leaf you can equip your class one in both the slots so that activates level 1 for now 3+3=6

[little leaf]

I can have only one atm

[fair mantle]

You need 15 nodes for a level 3, which a stone can't have, maximum is 10 nodes (which is pretty hard since it's rng)

[fair mantle]

You have two slots to equip them in

[little leaf]

How do I do that

I check both in engravings and chat panel and I don't see anything

[fair mantle]

Press P on your character, below your gear there are two slots and you can equip engravings there

[little leaf]

I'll try once I finish my quest won't let me while I'm transformed

[fair mantle]

Sure

[little leaf]

I can't put 2 rage hammers for example

[stuck wave]

Hello!
Is there a list of best accessories (stat + engraving combos)?
So I could learn which to sell without checking every single item in the market

[fair mantle]

You can

[fair mantle]

They're different for different classes so you just get a general idea from knowing what builds classes run, and usually what combat stat goes with what, for example Swiftness would usually use raid captain, but it's just experience

[little leaf]

I had to drag it clicking didn't work , ugh

Well thanks

Now I just need more blue books

[fair mantle]

[tropic steppe]

Well we can't really blame it on the game itself imo.
I guess there is ONE barrier to player interraction which is the shitty chat/censorship filter.
When we get the story express it'll probably help players interact a bit and also revive the early game for a while, though I doubt it'll help THAT much.
But even then I just believe that a bigger percentage of players are just too goal oriented nowadays and rather work on their dailies/weekly and min/max their time than "waste" time making friends lol
Also this game is kinda heavy on the dailies and everything which would pull in/keep a certain type of players.

[silver rain]

alt+right click for 2nd slot for next time also works with accs (ring+earrings) slots

[little leaf]

If u can't waste time and game is more of a second job that something fun then that's bad

[snow wadi]

Welcome to Lost Ark ❤️

[little leaf]

Maybe I should just play single players again and wait for the next mmo 😂

[tropic steppe]

It isn't. But some people take it as that.
There's actually alot of players in Lost Ark that do sadly.

That's pretty much their experience. They ask whats the best class. Then google the best build. Then fastest way to level up. Then they speedrun skipping through everything. Then they do their dailies and take it like a job.

[little leaf]

[snow wadi]

Uh, most of the community takes this game as a job
Go ahead in #lost-ark-discussions and ask why people put title requirements in their lobby - they don't play the game for fun - they play for efficiency

[little leaf]

Tbh it's also the games fault for being so alt heavy and forcig you to do all them dailys on a full roster to win more

[little leaf]

I miss the old mmo days where u just had fun and u didn't have to be the most efficient , and Speedrun stuff

[fair mantle]

Being alt heavy is the design, that's why you get 6 slots and so many different buffs and powerpasses for alts

[little leaf]

I knowz but that makes it so u have to spend a bunch of time on all of them to send mats to ur main

[tropic steppe]

"Next MMO" is just pure
Dont enter that train. I've been there.
MMOs get better with time. They're never perfect on release.
Also its more about the experience and the people, not the game itself.

Sadly in lost ark I guess it's a little harder to get those player interactions due to the type of player that plays it as I explained earlier I guess.

The best thing you can do if you want those interactions is to keep trying, and join a casual guild wjo has a discord, join their discord and interact with them

[fair mantle]

I mean not rlly, only if you want to, ppl do rested, some people don't do dailies on most alts, it's just preference and time, the main task is the weeklies to generate gold

[little leaf]

I'm still looking for a guild that's not all alts or would accept me in 😂 maybe once I'm tier 3 :)))

[little leaf]

Well but it's still the most optimal and fastest progression isn't it?

[tropic steppe]

Thats what alot of people say but thats not true.
It was just as hardcore and min/max than today. Its just your own mindset that was more casual, and there were less guides. Or less access to it

[slender stump]

Just play at your own pace, no one's forcing to speedrun/min max

[little leaf]

Well I'll be still playing a bit to see most of the raids and see how it will go then

[fair mantle]

Not rlly in endgame, few dailies on alts don't contribute to enough mats to get a lot of progression on my main, but for those who want to be efficient there's alway more stuff to do, I cba

[little leaf]

I'm out of phone batery, thanks for the chat y'all

[fair mantle]

Min maxing will always be a part of mmos, your choice how deep you wanna go into it

[little leaf]

I'll be lurking around from time to time to ask more stuff

[little leaf]

True, I just feel bad If I play less optimal, i guess I kinda like to min max

[fair mantle]

If you wanna then go ahead, as long as the time permits

[little leaf]

I already played like 16 h + past two days, I don't think I can give it more time lmao

I can play from work so lvling is not to hard , raiding will be cuz I can do it only from home mostly, at least hard raids

[tropic steppe]

Finding a guild once you reach tier 3 will be important imo as a newer player though.
The main complaint I see from newer players nowadays is that they can't find groups for those raids (Which is logical, as most people now do those raids pretty quickly and wont really take the time to teach it to newer players. Kinda sad but it is what it is)

I cant blame them. I dont have the time either. I dont even have the time to do what I wanna do lmao

[amber flax]

What am I doing wrong? I have two tripods of magick amplifications on Doomsday but it shows only as lvl 2, shouldnt it be lvl 3 ?

[silver rain]

wait nvm

[silver rain]

they dont stack only take the highest one so +1 = 2 is correct

[exotic crag]

i joined a guild about a 2 months ago and now im grandmaster, should i leave it and go to an active guild, can i salvage it

[silver rain]

oof i suggest leave

[exotic crag]

do guilds give any benefits except being a part of a community, like perks

[silver rain]

bloodstones

[ashen kindle]

Guys is there a possibility that they will give Power pass when reaper is release?

[silver rain]

you can exchange bloodstones for mats

[amber flax]

oh shit, this applies to every skill ?

[silver rain]

for each tripod yea

[exotic crag]

can i get anything from those 14k bloodstones before leaving

[foggy plank]

Hi guys, for a 1475 Reflux Crit Build Sorc (Alt), are Refl/CurseDoll/Grudge/Adrenaline the best combo for damage if I want 4x3 to save gold?

[silver rain]

you're still a mokoko just save it or maybe stay in that guild until you're high enuf lvl and needed mats (T1 and up)

[little leaf]

Where at, and do you lose your stones if u leave the guild?

[exotic crag]

ok then

[silver rain]

search for NPC called Sylmael in major city and no

[little leaf]

Thanks

[exotic crag]

what T1 and up means

[cloud pendant]

If I manually progress my alt to T2 and then use the paid punika pass to get to t3 Will I still get the second awakening skill for free?

[silver rain]

combat lvl 50 and item lvl 302 and up

[dapper geyser]

tripods from multiple inventories register for the update right? so buying tripod inventories is a good move??

[silver rain]

yes

[radiant flame]

Do you not want KBW if you are running crit? Anyway ask in #sorceress

[tropic steppe]

Depending on the amount of crit you have, KBW might be better than cursed doll for that build.

[unkempt breach]

not really, it also depends on what tripod hes using

if its a final strike build then cd is better

but preferably hit master

[tropic steppe]

Oh true didnt realize hit master wasnt there. Its kind of a staple on sorc.

[unkempt breach]

since final strike tripods give u a ton of crit damage, kbw isnt as good

but it depends if hes using final strike

[foggy plank]

forgot to mention I use final strike

[tropic steppe]

Yeah its additive. And sorc has alot of crit dmg. But since its reflux and not igniter Im not sure

I only play igniter on mine.

[unkempt breach]

ye I would suggest reflux,adren,hm,grudge then

[radiant flame]

Yeah I didn’t see lack of hit master either

That’s definitely better

[foggy plank]

thanks for your feedback guys

[tropic steppe]

I wanna go KBW instead of my cursed doll on my sorc build tbh so thats all I could think about 😅

[unkempt breach]

is this for igniter?

[tropic steppe]

But thats because I'm going Hallu igniter

When we get the Hallu QoL which we've waited on foreverrr

[unkempt breach]

I wouldnt suggest it due to the fact that build only starts working around set lvl 3

[tropic steppe]

With bracelet it'll be better than CD for my build after math. Kind of.

[unkempt breach]

but its better to prepare because that what you will be using

[tropic steppe]

Then again Im probably not switching it soon anyway.
Still need to finalize my roster for brel

[unkempt breach]

yea thats prolly more important

trying to 5x3 every alt I have

[tropic steppe]

Not as much as you'd think if you saw my roster

[unkempt breach]

not cheap groan, those surge books cost me a arm and a leg

[tropic steppe]

Imma have 3 brel 1-6, one 1-4 and two 1-2... Kinda too much for week one lol

[unkempt breach]

yea def I suggest doing all the way up until 4 on everyone u can

5 and 6 are sorta like a challenge that u do after u finish the rest of the stuff

at least thats in my opinion to be efficient

[tropic steppe]

The issue is just finding the right groups.
(And also the schedule, Imma try to have the week off but we dont have a specific date yet. I expect it around dec 17th or smth for some reason)

[unkempt breach]

u mean dec 17 of next year right 🤣

[tropic steppe]

Didnt the roadmap say december this year?

[unkempt breach]

cuz ags might have to shutdown the game for a month dealing with daylight savings again 🤣

[tropic steppe]

I honestly dont expect a delay

[unkempt breach]

yea it is but I always expect a delay

[tropic steppe]

I did in the previous patches but not this one. Because of the christmas break they'll give their employees I would assume. Surely they'll release before christmas and be ready for it

[polar shard]

Is there a way to get 5x3 with a 7/7 stone using a single 3/3 legendary accessory ? My 1 piece that needs igniter is expensive af

[vast oriole]

leg book?

[tropic steppe]

Pretty sure you can with double leg book.

[polar shard]

I have igniter and grudge legendary

[vast oriole]

than its easy

[silver rain]

there's not been any delay for any things in the roadmap tho

[tropic steppe]

Too lazy to do the math rn. Google LoA todo engravings or some other engraving calculator

[merry reef]

do u have any accs by now?

[unkempt breach]

double leg books can do it

[merry reef]

Can someone explain to me recent prices on market? Sometimes it will show prices dating a week back, somtimes it will literally not show even an hour back. cant find any logic

[polar shard]

Just a couple but I can’t reuse most of them because of malice on my new rock

[tropic steppe]

I suggest getting you class engraving accessory first if you dont have them. And Id assume you have your 7 7 already if you said that. If not, try and cut it. Then necklace next.

Better to buy in that order usually

[polar shard]

I had my 7/7 stone for months but couldn’t use it till now

[unkempt breach]

I always try to cut a stone around my neck cuz thats usually the most expensive piece

maybe its wrong, but it seems to work for me

[vast oriole]

u can do it even with a 7-6 stone if you have double leg books

[tropic steppe]

I just wish we had public API like KR so we could have tools to just get all the engravings you want from AH at the cheapest combination possible

[merry reef]

well I mean if that was a thing it will all be grabbed by bots most likely

[tropic steppe]

Usually takes me 1-2hour per build to manually check every combination possible. And sometimes I still mess up. And surely theres always a few options I miss

[polar shard]

What piece should the 3/3 be, ring since it’s the lowest stat accessory?

[subtle helm]

If anything bots are already doing it. Having an API gets better tools to the player

[vast oriole]

ring yes

[unkempt breach]

3/3 is good for ring

[tropic steppe]

Generally its the lowest cost, and quality matters less.
If you can get it for cheaper and better qual on neck/earring go for it tho

[vast oriole]

you lose a lot of spec tho if you go leg ring

[merry reef]

I doubt bots are doing much on the AH, the normal market sure but not accs. Either way, having an api would make it much easier and more safe for a bot to snipe stuff, so yea I don't think an api would be good for our market personally

[vast oriole]

try to get a 100 one

[tropic steppe]

Nah. Prices would just be averaged out rather than finding cheap deals sometimes.

On the plus side it'd help players alot AND stuff would sell faster + we'd have more accurate pricings

[unkempt breach]

mexifragger do u have a legendary engraving that isnt grudge?

because grudge 3 pieces are overpriced like mad

[tropic steppe]

Grudge 5 is kinda cheaper nowadays

[subtle helm]

You think the operation of manually clicking through thousands of pages of auctions and parsing through weeks of sales history does not advantage bots over an API that gives players access to the same info? that is... a take i guess

[polar shard]

Nah only those 2 legendary books are all I have

[unkempt breach]

I was looking for am5/grudge3 and those were 40-50k. The reverse was 9k 🤣

I never bought grudge books I bought cd and kbw

[tropic steppe]

My neck cost me like 300k and I said fk it
(NOT that 300k neck you're thinking about btw. Not woogzie's) lmao

For my striker*

[unkempt breach]

I remember looking for shock scrapper pieces

and I stumbled across a absolute gem

3 shock 3 adrenaline 1 malice 100 quality

for 500 gold

it was a relic ring

[foggy plank]

If I wanted to spend a bit more would reflux 15, hm 15, grudge, cursed 15, adren 10 make sense?

[unkempt breach]

yes that is what most people I know settle on

but just dont buy adrenaline 5 pieces

unless u wanna pay 50k for a single piece 🤣

[tropic steppe]

That would be barely weaker than a 5x3, but a mere fraction of the price

[unkempt breach]

yup

[foggy plank]

The problem is to get the 7/7 stone with only 1 legendary book in order to get 5x3

And still need to buy reflux

[unkempt breach]

get 5x3 with only 1 legendary book is really rough ]

[foggy plank]

Saw my friend burn like 40 stones

[fair mantle]

40 is on the unluckier side for a 7-7

[foggy plank]

my 2 zerks I did under 10 tries if I recall well

[fair mantle]

Pretty lucky

My main was like 35 stones and no 7-7 so I just settled for a 7-6, my striker and GL were 1 and 2 tries

[unkempt breach]

I use a 7-6 on my scrapper too

my scrapper is just bad at cutting stones

does anyone know how much exp does svern give in total?

[silent mortar]

if i closed the auction window in chaos gates can i open it again?

[tropic steppe]

I did over 80 stones on my striker trying for a 7-7, at 3k a stone iirc too... I ended up saying fk it... 😅

[tropic steppe]

Hmmm not that much xp, but its not negligible 😅 I did it on a few lower alts recently and dont think it gave enough for a level lol

Grinding svern for cards to try and finish LoS 30 😭

[silent mortar]

they are rigged, i've noticed that when started to play. In general, your % success is 10-15% lower on blue and 10-15% higher on reds

[inner wing]

I'm not sure but is there a 🔔 symbol at the top left of your screen, if there is, try clicking on it it may work

[tropic steppe]

They're not. It's pure rng lol

[silent mortar]

well, my data sais otherwise. I've documented each stone i've faceted in a month. In almost two thousands cut attempts (i mean each blue/red dot).

[fair mantle]

[silent mortar]

oh btw guys, why people always find a group for maps after the chaos gates? Drops get bigger from the boss?

[fair mantle]

4 people = rewards of 4 maps

[inner wing]

Many people obtain maps at the same time = good opportunity to form party with said maps

[silent mortar]

so basicly people get rewards of 4 maps for each person? E.g. 16 maps drops total in a 4-man map?

[fair mantle]

Yes but 4 per person

So what you'll get is 4 shard bags in a blue map

[timber light]

Anyone happen to know if world tree leaves can drop in the hunting secret dungeons?

[radiant flame]

They probably can but I don’t think the information is at all relevant

[tropic steppe]

Two thansand attempts is a small sample size to determine rng lol

[silent mortar]

"small" sample is 30. That is the minimal number that has statistical weight.

[radiant flame]

Since you need to do normal hunting to get the tracking maps and you will naturally get world leaves that way

[timber light]

@radiant flame what do you mean? I'm down to 1, and was doing maps, was kinda hoping I wasn't messing myself up getting the last leaf 😛

[radiant flame]

I mean, it will drop when it drops. Doing dungeons isn’t bad regardless.

I seem to half recall getting one of mine from the dungeon but honestly might be misremembering

[timber light]

yeah, I hit 30 hunting, so i want to move on to excavating, but I'm trying to get this last leaf.

[radiant flame]

There is literally no statistical reason for this. You’ve picked 30 arbitrarily

[radiant token]

Where is the safe spot on Kung snowflake patern?

[silent mortar]

no, i've picked every stone i've encountered. At least tried to. I sometime forgot to write results down here and there, but the final number it still relevant enough, even more then enough

[radiant flame]

No I mean you’ve picked 30 out of a hat. There is no statistical significance behind a sample size of 30

Sample size just changes your confidence limits

[silent mortar]

no, 30 is minimum statistical sample. Sample under that number does not have a statistical weight. Bigger is better, e.g. more accurate

[radiant flame]

But to your actual problem, cutting stones is just RNG. no other way to see it

[radiant flame]

I mean, this is BS lol. Maybe learn some stats if you want to use it to prove a pointless point

[silent mortar]

rng or not, numbers that i got are different from what it is written in the tooltip

[radiant flame]

Right. Im not sure how that matters. You still need to cut stones lol

If you think the odds are worse then you still need to cut them as optimally as possible 🤷🏻‍♂️

[silent mortar]

yes, but i was curious how the hell a lot of stones look like 1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0 at jumping from 75 to 65 and so on. Started to write that down and since then actual % that i got doesnt look that great at it is written in the tooltip. It changes nothing, but at least i got the overall knowledge

[radiant flame]

Right, if you count that as “knowledge”

You said it yourself, it changes nothing and it’s not helpful

[silent mortar]

"helpful" is subjective. For me it is. When i know that what i see on the screen is a fucking bullshit, i tilt less, because 75% on blue is actualy a ~60-65% and so on.

[radiant flame]

Lol if you think that

Or just don’t tilt cutting stones and accept it’s all RNG

In my experience 75% has worked a lot of the time, probably on average 3 out of 4 attempts!

If you really do think the odds are lower than those quoted, 9/7s must be impossible! But clearly …

[slender stump]

4 cardinals will have ice geyser

[radiant token]

That's not the snowflake patern

[slender stump]

Wth is snowflake pattern then?

[silent mortar]

why not possible, they are. I guess that is why that 10\9\0 stone was probably a fake screenshot, at least how people on reddit wrote

[radiant token]

He does a jump, and make a snowflake patern two times in a roll

[slender stump]

Ah, no clue about the safe spot for that one, I always get hit

[radiant flame]

Because on the cited odds they are already 0.02% chance or something

Anyway, whatever. You’re clearly set in your ways and are convinced the game is lying to you 🤷🏻‍♂️

[buoyant herald]

there have only been 2x 10 9 's recorded across all regions 😄 and unless you have a vid no one's gonna belive you

[radiant flame]

But can you hack a stone? 🤷🏻‍♂️ if you can see them on inven I assume they are real

[silent mortar]

LAO subreddit laughs alot at "stone patterns" lol. Saw that?

[buoyant herald]

not entirely sure how inven works

[radiant flame]

Hmm I thought it worked off an API which they have in KR? Because they have it for the AH there I think?
