[trail meteor]

anyone playing kr version here ?

[maiden locust]

people in #korea do

[trail meteor]

didn't know this chan existed

[maiden locust]

you need the role

[trail meteor]

thanks

[delicate aspen]

is there an easier way to find tripod gear to buy off ah other than aimlessly searching through it

[fair mantle]

Type skill, type the tripod, type the level, search

[maiden locust]

specify what skill and tripod you want in search

[delicate aspen]

ye just doing that is the fastest way? im looking for one with multiple tripods that i want and it keeps coming up with none available was wondering if there was a mass search or smthn

[pseudo atlas]

the more specific you want it the less likely it is to actually exist, can't specify just "any pair of lv4 tripods" or anything in general

[delicate aspen]

yeahh was hoping there was a way to do a non specific search like heres 18 wanted tripods find any mix on any piece

[pseudo atlas]

no

[delicate aspen]

yep figured thanks for the help yall 🙂

[fair mantle]

Usually you wanna do one per piece since the ones with a lot will be pretty expensive

[delicate aspen]

you can re sell them cant you? or atleast thats what i was thinking

doing tripods on an alt for the first time and on my main i didnt know about saving tripods so i built them up mostly on my own

so not too sure how to go about this

[trail meteor]

do patches occur at the same time or it gets released on korea, then comes on eu several months later ? (like buffs and nerfs)

[maiden locust]

second one

[fair mantle]

You can but most people are buying the ones with 1 skill on them so it's less likely it'll sell

[maiden locust]

we will always be behind on KR

[trail meteor]

hmm yeah so u can know ur class isn't getting buffed for a long time

[maiden locust]

yup

[delicate aspen]

@fair mantle got it thanks ^^

[radiant oyster]

how much gold does a 1415 account gives in unas tokens? 5k per roster?

[maiden locust]

something like that yeah, 4,5k

[radiant oyster]

Ty

[jagged steppe]

is there a way to get all 6 legendary set pieces in one week?

[pseudo atlas]

if you mean all 6 pieces of the same gear set no, if you mean just 6 pieces of legendary then yes

[jagged steppe]

yeah so what pieces from argos I have to get and what pieces from oreha?

considering I buy all the rewards

[pseudo atlas]

you run oreha and buy boxes, you get carried p3 argos and buy box, then you make oreha weapon and the rest of the mats go to armor

[fair mantle]

3 piece armour Argos 2 piece Oreha armour 1 piece Oreha weapon

[jagged steppe]

Ohh so that's how everyone does it, thanks a lot!

[timid badge]

so as long as i just make the character, it automatically gains rest bonus?

[rigid fossil]

until what ilevel were we able to use express missions on?

i worded that very badly

[subtle helm]

yes

[rigid fossil]

like what ilevel does the character have to be to be eligible for the express pass missions

[blazing badger]

last time it was 1302 iirc

[rigid fossil]

yeah but the max level i mean

[subtle helm]

1302-1445

[rigid fossil]

wait really

thats very generous, i thought it was like 1415

[rigid fossil]

thats actually HELLAAAA poggggg i hope its the same for reaper if i we get any missions

then i get to double express my arti lmao

[alpine yacht]

I'm a little confused. "Up to 16 characters and numerals" but I can't use numbers? What are "numerals" then?

[subtle helm]

IVXLC

Roman numerals

[alpine yacht]

But then it would be Ivxlc

[uneven robin]

[ashen kindle]

Artillerist engraving book cost 35k lmao

[valid spindle]

how do i get into Alakkir island

[blazing badger]

it only comes up at certain times

[fair mantle]

It's a timed island

[valid spindle]

yea it says 10:50 pm but its not up

[blazing badger]

you can see the schedule by clicking on the arrow around the top left of your screen

[fair mantle]

That's server time if you mistook that

[valid spindle]

alr ty

[misty skiff]

can we get galatur cards from legendary maps?
or is that guardien luen only

[silver rain]

yes including luen, sien, luterra

[sleek marsh]

Does anyone happen to know when/where the atropos co op quest starts? i read online it happens twice an hr but i haven't seen it all day :/

[hazy robin]

hi when is tripod update coming?

[wraith bough]

out of curiosity, what happens if i sell my level 10 gem and some rmt player buys it? Will my acc/gold be in jeopardy?

[tropic steppe]

Not supposed to.

Ive sold plenty of level 10 gems and Im fairly sure it was probably rmters that bought them.

[fair mantle]

In a week

[tropic steppe]

Did they actually confirm it on the forums?

[wraith bough]

oh ok thank you

[fair mantle]

On twitter yes

[ashen kindle]

are artillerist popular?

[fair mantle]

Very

[ashen kindle]

Legendary book too expensive

[fair mantle]

At least after the balance changes

[ashen kindle]

someone bought for 45k lol

[fair mantle]

That was probably a mistake

[ashen kindle]

now lowest price is 28k

[fair mantle]

Barrage is usually hovering at 16k in naw

Yeah someone probably bought out their books so he emptied the market

We'll also probably get 2x class books with the powerpass so hopefully they're tradeable

Express*

[silver rain]

if we do get ones it'd be like Arcanist express wont be tradeable sadge

[tropic steppe]

Hmmm I don't seem to be able to find the tweet.

[ashen kindle]

time to read announcement they will give power pass?\

[fair mantle]

There's a powerpass yes

[ashen kindle]

niceee

[tropic steppe]

Oh thanks. Kinda dumb that they havent made an announcement yet though imo

[silver rain]

they're prolly waiting on the big patch note

[ashen kindle]

this punika power pass if i already used it before can i use it again?

[tropic steppe]

Punika powerpass AND hyper express 1302-1445

Its a new powerpass, yes

[ashen kindle]

ow okay nice thank you

[hollow mist]

where do i see the setitngs for moving with left or right click

i cant find it

[hollow mist]

i still dont kno which setting it is

[silver rain]

the bottom one 'attacking...'

[hollow mist]

o attack with right click? ok ty

did that change? i thought it was something different before

[tropic steppe]

I also think it was.
I'm fairly sure it was different in the beta at least.

[pseudo atlas]

they moved it in an update some time ago

[shy yarrow]

they changed a lot of the settings when they did that qol patch months ago

[hollow mist]

[tropic steppe]

I need to figure out which chars Imma hyper express 1445 but I have too many chars already imo

[scarlet oxide]

HI

Did the punika pass ticket expired alrdy?

[pseudo atlas]

yes but we're getting another one next week

[scarlet oxide]

I forgot to used mine 😦 sadge

[ashen kindle]

the special express guarantee you to 1445 or no?

[tepid tusk]

Hi all! Just need some advice on getting those 5 3 class engraving relic acc. How do people farm this? Or they just buy it? The price seems to be super expensive.

[fair mantle]

They buy it, it can be expensive depending on the class and build, what are you going for

[tepid tusk]

For arti. Barrage and a secondary one. Price can reach up to 200k gold

[fair mantle]

Well barrage is pretty expensive, if you're going for 5x3 you have to build such that you go for a 3/3 class piece

[uneven robin]

just get +12 barrage books

[crisp turtle]

14th December

[uneven robin]

arti

no clue, ive never played destroyer

[crisp turtle]

My unbiased, from playing neither class, just from watching them. I'd assume arti is easier

[uneven robin]

i might make one with new pass

ranged is also better

i think we just assuming it will come with tripod patch soon

[slender stump]

Save useful lvl4 tripods in your tripod inventory

You have only a week left btw

[crisp turtle]

Tldr
Buy all your priority +4s. Save into your library.
Make sure the tripods on your gear are also saved, as they'll be removed

[inner wing]

Wrong game buddy

Try pvp

Subjective. I never did much PvP so I can't really answer. PvP ; Guild vs Guild

[heavy lily]

are all the honing mats that drop in Chaos Dungeons tradeable? or does it does both tradeable and bound?

[short stump]

how long til maintaince?

[shy yarrow]

hour and a half

[fair mantle]

30 mins actually right?

[shy yarrow]

chaos drops bound leaps and tradable blue/oranges

[fair mantle]

Or did they change it

[shy yarrow]

i assumed they changed the dst time so they changed the reset time too but if the game disappears in 30 then

[heavy lily]

thank you!

[uncut depot]

Has anyone run into an issue where ealyn is missing? I'm not on any rapport quests right now on this char (triple checked)

[shy yarrow]

there are probably hundreds of quests that conflict with it, so just try abandoning or finishing ones you can

9/10 its a quest that you can just drop and she reappears

[deep vigil]

what time on EU is weekly reset?

[ashen kindle]

Is the express event guarantee you 1445?

ow okay

Im planning on chaning my main to sorc > striker is it better to get my sorc to 1460 first?

[low trail]

what ilvl is your sorc now

[fair mantle]

If you plan on being efficient yes

Are you gonna play deathblow?

[ashen kindle]

1445

[ashen kindle]

i might look it up first

[low trail]

mh yeah should probably go for 1460 first

[ashen kindle]

im planning on using the express event on my striker its better no?

[fair mantle]

Just saying deathblow is pretty expensive

What is better?

[ashen kindle]

i mean i will use my special event on my striker and punika on him

[fair mantle]

I mean sure there's nothing better about it pp whatever u want

[ashen kindle]

yeah im asking for advice if its better to use the express event on my striker or use it on my sorc to boost her to 1460

[fair mantle]

The express is till 1445 so you can't use it on your sorc

[ashen kindle]

ow okay i thought i can use it on sorc cause my sorc is exactly 1445 🥹

[fair mantle]

And if you're mainswapping there's no reason to use it on your previous main

[ashen kindle]

well someone says put my sorc to 1460 for honing buff i think but well thanks. Im using it on striker and holding my sorc to 1445

[fair mantle]

Yeah he's right push sorc to 1460 if you wanna be efficient

[ashen kindle]

the honing buff you get for 1460 is until 1415 only no?

[fair mantle]

1370-1415 yes

[ashen kindle]

20% mats and exp right?

Like the previous honing buffs

[fair mantle]

10%

[ashen kindle]

Ow it’s not that much okay thank you so much

[fair mantle]

It's a lot actually, especially 10% honing rate almost doubles it

[ashen kindle]

Ow it gives honing rate lool then it’s a lot.

I think I made a mistake taking Artillerist barrage on my 2x selection engraving box😅 I thought I can sell it for 29k lol

[misty skiff]

is it T3 legendary maps only? or any legendary map?

[wary relic]

If I have 2 level 4 skills for a soon-to-be deleted tripod (Skill A and Skill B), then after the update, will I get 2 free level 4 tokens that I can use on ANY tripod?

[rain meadow]

speculative, but ideally that's what should happen

[reef tundra]

is tripod update shared in roster?

[low trail]

no, each character has their own tripods

[mild tapir]

Yes

[maiden locust]

How many hours does the maintenance end?

[mild tapir]

They didn’t post it yet but normally three hours

[maiden locust]

Ty!

[snow wadi]

Uh, it's actually been 4 hours over the last couple of weeks, but they did post it
https://forums.playlostark.com/t/lost-ark-weekly-update-november-9th-12-am-pt-8-am-utc-9-am-cet/479801
and it says 3 hours

[mild tapir]

Yeah that’s why I added the “normally” disclaimer 😆 never know with them these days especially the one over like 12 hours

[pine oasis]

8️⃣

[ashen kindle]

Is it really hard to get lvl 5 tripod after the patch?

[pine oasis]

Where are the patch notes?

[buoyant herald]

its till gonna cost 7 pheons per gear its gonna be 20% instead of 10% but thats still like up to 10 tries per lvl 5 tripod

[buoyant herald]

#announcements no big patch today

[radiant flame]

*possibly more than 10

[buoyant herald]

well yeah XD

[radiant flame]

if you can get tripods you should get tripods before the patch

[ashen kindle]

I’m making kain after I get the punika pass lool

Main*

[buoyant herald]

you dont really have a choice then sucks

[radiant flame]

idk, maybe stop mainswapping :x

[buoyant herald]

im changing mains to reaper too

[ashen kindle]

Man I wish they do it with Brel

[pine oasis]

Ehhh i was looking forward to brel, summoner, reaper and tripods in this patch

[radiant flame]

mainswapping is absolute ass and is a huge resource sink

[ashen kindle]

Well mine is at 1445

It’s not that high it’s super low

[snow wadi]

So what? Stop playing what you like because it's expensive?

[pine oasis]

Which reaper are you going for? Moon or thirst?

[buoyant herald]

my main is 1505 and im gonna have reaper 1475 day 1 should be 1500 by brel

[ashen kindle]

I have 280 pheons saving for tripods😅

[buoyant herald]

thirst

[radiant flame]

this person's mainswapped like three times already? weren't you arcana like 2 weeks ago

[ashen kindle]

Lol I’m sorc main arcana alt

[buoyant herald]

if its just 1445 its not even a real main

[pine oasis]

Same, moon is big hit or miss. And i cant even land sidereals

[ashen kindle]

My arcana didn’t even hit t3 I deleted her

And I think main swapping on low ilvl like me is not gonna be a huge problem except for the tripod

[radiant flame]

if you're super keen on striker, i'd just make him now

buy a PP, and hone him to get tripods

[buoyant herald]

well if your main is jus 1445 this express gonna be good

[radiant flame]

these reaper bozos, they have no choice

[buoyant herald]

tbh this

[radiant flame]

but you can literally make a striker now

[buoyant herald]

1415 is cheap too

[radiant flame]

if you are serious about maining striker

you should not be waiting around and then getting tripods later

[buoyant herald]

monsters dont have tiers not sure what you mean

[ashen kindle]

Yeaah maybe I’ll do that😅 thankss

[radiant flame]

those 280 peons are what, going to get you 2 tripods?

[clear sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-belly-jiggle-cat-belly-gif-24626027

[radiant flame]

when currently it can get you your full 18 tripods

and have peons spare

[pine oasis]

I'm making reaper for 2 reasons:
She has best costumes and model.
I love the assassin class

[ashen kindle]

Can I buy legendary sets in t3?

In AH

[radiant flame]

buy?

no, but you can get legendary gear in a week

[pine oasis]

Yes you can

[radiant flame]

hone to 1370, do oreha hard and argos p3

buy boxes on both

[ashen kindle]

5pcs only

[radiant flame]

no it gets you 6

[ashen kindle]

40 on oreha I think 40 on argos

[radiant flame]

3 chosen (including weapon) 3 oreha

buddy i've done this before,

[buoyant herald]

no you dont XD

[radiant flame]

please don't

[buoyant herald]

if you want 1445 you just get relic before full argos

[radiant flame]

how long do you think you will keep your argos gear for when you have a hyperexpress to 1445

[ashen kindle]

Legendary should be 4 chosen and 2 preordained

But yeah

[cloud pendant]

Is the maintenance standard 4 hours?

[radiant flame]

if you want week 1 full legendary, you go 3-3

[pseudo atlas]

the point of 3 chosen 3 argos is to get to 1415 as fast as possible, which is relevant because of the tripod update

[radiant flame]

?! you dismantle?

[ashen kindle]

Yeah I’ll try to make that happen

[pine oasis]

Dismantle everything

[ashen kindle]

Gonna buy pp lol

[radiant flame]

why do you want 5 argos so badly. it's next to useless

[cloud pendant]

Get 6 piece preordained or harsh

[buoyant herald]

dismantle for leapstones

[ashen kindle]

Wow really? I didn’t knew you can get leapstone

[pseudo atlas]

rolling for accs lmao

[cloud pendant]

No point getting 6 piece Argos?

[ashen kindle]

Like how many leapstones?

[radiant flame]

which is why you don't go 6 piece argos

[pseudo atlas]

1 per oreha mat, 2.5ish per argos blood

[radiant flame]

smh. 5p argos is pointless.

[cloud pendant]

So 3 pieces each until relic set?

[radiant flame]

you literally do for fast 1415

[ashen kindle]

I think it’s 2x4 I’m rushing that’s why I need 3x3

[radiant flame]

?!

this isn't about experience

all you want is all legendary (base 1340 gear) to hone

[ashen kindle]

I don’t think it’s about relic it’s about rushing 1415 for tripod patch

[pseudo atlas]

relic is entirely irrelevant at this moment, they are trying to get to 1415 before the tripod update which you need to be 1415 for so you can get lv5 tripods

[cloud pendant]

When is tripod patch?

[radiant flame]

they may as well be blue cdhaos dungeon gear

the set bonuses on argos gear is completely irrelevant

also not true

[pseudo atlas]

okay you need to stop giving advice because that's very outdated

[ashen kindle]

I think this is the old way

[buoyant herald]

WEEKS its 3 weeks not that long and argos set is gonna be broken week 2 if you just hit 1445 or week 1 if you hit 1460

[pseudo atlas]

yes it was the old way, it's far cheaper to do +15 all now

[cloud pendant]

When is tripod update?

[radiant flame]

buddy have you just not played for 3 weeks

[ashen kindle]

Next week

[pseudo atlas]

tripod update is expected next week

[cloud pendant]

Oh shit that’s quick

[snow wadi]

Even missed out lots of upgrades on 2nd image

ye but that is the correct image

[radiant flame]

dude he literally missed out about 20 upgrades

[cloud pendant]

Is the maintenance today 4 hours standard? I realised it’s an hour late today

[snow wadi]

3

[cloud pendant]

Ok nice

[pseudo atlas]

you're right 689 leaps doing the +17 method is far fewer than the 415 leaps doing +15 all

[cloud pendant]

Is it really useful for support to get the max tripods?

[vast oriole]

Yes

[cloud pendant]

Or just the dps?

[snow wadi]

useful? Yes
Necessary? Hell, no

[radiant flame]

all classes will benefit

[cloud pendant]

Yea I think it’s not that necessary too

[radiant flame]

if you can get them, there is no reason not to

[cloud pendant]

It doesn’t reduce cool-down

[radiant flame]

???!!!

it's the global honing buff that is giving the huge difference

[snow wadi]

q.e.d

[radiant flame]

regardless of whether you go the "old" cheese method to 1415, you still need all legendary gear

[pseudo atlas]

because you have turned off honing books

[radiant flame]

and 3-3 is the only way to do it

[snow wadi]

"No additional materials"

[radiant flame]

yes it is literally just honing.

and this person isn't new, they have characters in t3 already

[ashen kindle]

Well I make my 4 alts t1-t3 1370 in 1 week

I think it’s possible

[pseudo atlas]

all that aside tripod gear is probably about to go way up in price, they might not even have the gold to afford all the pieces they need

it costs more gold on average to not use them to do the same thing

[snow wadi]

even in worst case all +15 is cheaper

[radiant flame]

they cost like, 10 gold each, and there are events running with give them out

[ashen kindle]

I have 1445 main

[vast oriole]

6 nm 12 hm

[ashen kindle]

Yeah 12.

It doesn’t really matter how long will it take for me to craft relic. I just want max tripod

Yeaah

Yea this tripod patch is so bad for up coming player but it is what it is

[flat dagger]

The upcoming changes is great for new players, 2x the learn chance and flexible tripods. But it's amazing for existing players due to 100% learn rates.

[hard walrus]

got (almost) all tripods for my roster 6.

[silk shard]

yup all my 6 main alts almost have all their prio tripods

[hard walrus]

im trying to push them to 1490 (4 alts on clown rn).. played too much since start

[arctic sinew]

So just get lv4 tripod on the main ones is enough?

[silk shard]

Well for your priority skills its most important, but depending on the class they are sometimes not that expensive to get them all

[hard walrus]

actually you don't have to get all tripods lvl 4, just main tripod for your class.

its not mandatory but for some, it help really well with dps.

[silk shard]

for some tripods it can easily increase the skills damage by 50%

Depends on the class 😅

For people that play a lot this tripod change is easily one of the cheapest ways of increasing characters power

[hard walrus]

we're not doing class breakdown. xD But typically you aim for the best dmg skill and buff skill if have some.

[ashen kindle]

When I don’t have tripods on my doomsday I’m critting like 4-6m now that I have tripods I’m easily hitting 12-14m

Soo it’s huge for dps mains

[silk shard]

Well give or take every dps class main skills

[flat dagger]

It's huge for supports too, at least for Bard due to serenade tripods and cooldowns.

[last wolf]

how long till maintenance is over?

[silk shard]

yeah they dont

[ashen kindle]

I want them in my striker. I want to make striker before tripod patch so they advice me to do PP And rush which is not bad

[flat dagger]

The only difference between my main and alts, is the engravings and tripods, and that I do challenge content on the main. Otherwise they are played just as much.

[silk shard]

Well i do basically same thing on my 4-5 main alts as on my main atm

clown/vykas/valtan etc

[arctic sinew]

I focus on getting those that increase my identity gauge

[flat dagger]

Can you even buy +4s before 1415?

[ashen kindle]

I wanted to main striker so I needed lvl5 tripods

[flat dagger]

Yea, and they should have a higher requirement.

[hard walrus]

😮

[ashen kindle]

I want striker and I need the tripods

I don’t need reaper and if I can have PP it’s possible for me to reach 1415 there’s a lot of free mats in game Anguished isle Chaos line mayhem mark aldebaran also I have more than 500GHL

I can probably do it in 1 week

It’s guaranteed 6 piece in 1 week

Argos and oreha can guarantee you 6 piece hard mode oreha

[runic tundra]

what is this tripod update ? can someone explain ?

[last wolf]

how many hours until maintenance is over?

the event says ends on thursday at 0:00. what time zone is that?

[cloud pendant]

so will it be a waste if i use the hyper express on a char who is currently at 1415?

[flat dagger]

Should be yours.

[mild tapir]

One more hour roughly

[last wolf]

thanks

[snow hinge]

When do we unlock the upgrade buff in stronghold for 1370+?

[low trail]

Well all that's wasted is the simple Oreha Fusion Material

[stark pelican]

are the servers down or? there's no notification

[mild tapir]

Top left weekly maintenance, it'll be up in about 47 minutes

[stark pelican]

thanks

[runic tundra]

i still dont understand this new tripod system no matter how much i read and watch video

[rain meadow]

what part are you having trouble with

[mild tapir]

Tripods saved within your storage will be immediately learned on patch change guaranteeing the success to use it at a high level. Otherwise you'll have to learn it at the new rates.

As of now, pieces cost 9 pheons and upon being saved is cheaper than buying 5 pieces to learn it with the new change. (Base rate 10%, 20% with powder assuming 5x20%).

[rain meadow]

pieces are 7 pheons, no?

[mild tapir]

Your tripods will no longer be on your equipment with the change. Instead they'll be settable to maximum level at your skill tab.

[mild tapir]

Maybe I forget lol it very well could be

[runic tundra]

what is tripod that saved within storage ?

[rain meadow]

well when you go to the tripod npc, there are two tabs at the bottom, one is "transfer tripods" and the other is "inventory" (or at least something along those lines)

the tripods that are saved in that inventory or library storage, is what all those videos and the people here are referring to

[runic tundra]

i thought the name is transfer skil tree?
my level is 53 gear score 1387

[mild tapir]

You see on the right it says Skill Tree Inventory

Those are saved tripods

[rain meadow]

that's what the second tab looks like

[runic tundra]

so basically now the tripod had a preset that we can change as we like ?

[mild tapir]

Yes but you still need to "learn" them or unlock them

Doing this keeps you from learning them because it'll be automatically unlocked on the changes

[somber roost]

what you mean :O???

[rain meadow]

these poor mokokos

[runic tundra]

so basically just save the hero tattered equipment that had +3 skill ?

[mild tapir]

Yes, exactly if it's a skill you need

[rain meadow]

that's the lost ark & witcher collab

[mild tapir]

At iLevel 1415, the South Vern chaos dungeon drops relic gear that gives +4

It also allows you to buy them from the market and save the high priority ones if you want

[radiant flame]

It doesn’t actually cost a “lot” of gold if you are smart about it, given you can resell the tripod pieces after you save them to your inventory

[mild tapir]

Mainly just cost pheons

[runic tundra]

tbh i kinda regret playing machinist , and i already spend alot of money on the skins

[radiant flame]

It only costs pheons right now. After the changes happen, you are losing a hell of a lot more

[mild tapir]

There will be another Hyper Express Event to 1445 after this one ends with a Punika Power Pass. You can always change

[rain meadow]

machinist doesnt need a lot of tripods iirc, unless you're playing arthetine skill

[ionic lantern]

did central europe closed?

[radiant flame]

But you can do engravings at any time

[ionic lantern]

I had 2 characters there

[rain meadow]

maintenance time

[radiant flame]

Tripods you should do now.

[runic tundra]

@mild tapir when is it ?

[mild tapir]

16th

[sleek vale]

this is the only opportunity you have to take advantage of the tripod system update, so I would actually prioritize that over engravings

[radiant flame]

Buddy if you admitted you are new why are you helping. Because right now you are not

[ionic lantern]

when will the server be available?

[mild tapir]

26 minutes

[rain meadow]

idk

[sleek vale]

tripods are also considered the biggest portion of your overall dps, as opposed to engravings

[radiant flame]

Full tripods are probably ~40% damage increase once maxed

[mild tapir]

Full tripods for your main will be huge and should be priority as it's easy damage gain

[radiant flame]

So yeah, well over 2 engravings worth

[sleek vale]

pheons are free anyway kek

[runic tundra]

@mild tapir so basically i will get 1445 event reward and punika power pass?

[mild tapir]

Yes you can use both

[radiant flame]

There is absolutely no reason not to take advantage of tripod update in some way. You don’t even need to get full 18 - can just get main 6 or 12 for key skills

[crisp turtle]

18 is overkill for most classes anyway

[runic tundra]

@mild tapir the trick is to use the punika power pass and after that i start the 1145 event reward

[mild tapir]

Yup, exactly just make sure you pick the character you want

[somber roost]

RIP

[radiant flame]

Playing the game differently? People who have experience are literally just trying to help people take advantage of systems that are available

[runic tundra]

@mild tapir can u suggest me the most fun character that are not boring to play but is not a support

[mild tapir]

I mean I don't even have 6+ characters at 1460+ lol

[ashen kindle]

Yeaaah that’s why I’m crying about tripod cause I wanted to make striker and I want to take advantage of that

[mild tapir]

It's preference really... I can't recommend you anything because something someone finds fun might be boring to me.. so just figure out your playstyle

[radiant flame]

you don’t have to follow our advice. But you shouldn’t tell other new people to do what you do just because you are also new?

[mild tapir]

I mean I'm roster 230 and I only have 4 clown chars so

[runic tundra]

we have a reaper on today MT right

[rain meadow]

16th

[crisp turtle]

Next week

[mild tapir]

No, that'll be next maintenance with the event.

[ashen kindle]

16

[runic tundra]

okay will change my main to reaper when she comes out lmao

[mild tapir]

Good luck!

[rain meadow]

hes playing machinist, i dont think they have a lot of tripods anyways (I assume hes playing evolutionary legacy)

[radiant flame]

If he can’t make it to 1415 (and I think he should be able to) then yes, I would still save some important tripods

For Evo, those are the gauge gaining ones

They’re super important for any transform build

More important than engravings

Okay? Then that’s their decision

Fact is that tripods are important and it is good to try and take advantage of them

[ashen kindle]

Everyone who’s not taking advantage of tripods will probably regret it later.

[radiant flame]

So we can tell him about tripods and pointing to resources.

I just don’t know what your problem is

Do you just hate tripods. Do you think we are wrong about how important tripods are?

[fickle kraken]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/support/server-status?language-picker=true

is this working for any1?

[radiant flame]

How am I being elitist?!

[flat dagger]

I think you both should take this somewhere else.

[rain meadow]

servers are still down, wanna go #riot ?

[fickle kraken]

yes!

[ashen kindle]

Yeaah they keep arguing for about an hour now sorry guys it all started with me🥴

[flat dagger]

In short I'd just recommend very important +4s if possible, don't bother buying +3s since the chance to learn those will be very high anyway and they aren't rare.

[fickle kraken]

what video?

[granite hull]

So, just making sure here. I've got all my +4 tripods on my gear and also saved in my inventory. Is that enough to be safe?

[flat dagger]

Inventory will be saved, items won't.

[winged harbor]

tripods on gear wont get learned in the new system, only inventory stuff

[flat dagger]

Yup, that's what'd do pretty much. Waste of expensive pheons to buy +3s.

[ashen kindle]

Well they’re just telling the truth better learn them now and regret later when you invest too much time

[snow hinge]

Guys, my main is 1409 & i have 2 1370 alts , should I start focusing on tripods?

[radiant flame]

You told people to hone to 1415 by going +17 and still thought it was cheaper 😂 but no what you say is right

[ashen kindle]

And I think he’s not forcing anyone to follow him

[buoyant herald]

should push for 1415 then tripods

[snow hinge]

Ok ty

[ashen kindle]

I think he’s giving opinion

[winged harbor]

get main to 1415 and buy +4 tripods and save them in the inventory, if you can buy a second page of the inventory to fill that one as well

[snow hinge]

Ty

[radiant flame]

I think the message should be that the tripods are so important that 1415 is important to hit this week

[fickle kraken]

unless you have multiple 4's in 1 equipment piece, make sure all 6 are in 3 inventory pages.

what's on gear will be gone.

[ashen kindle]

I didn’t tell you force anyone

[radiant flame]

If you can’t make it to 1415 that sucks but yeah, I just think the impact of tripods are super understated

[slender stump]

mnt extended for +2h?

[ashen kindle]

Guys i have my answers thank you I’m out

[snow hinge]

Wth?

[winged harbor]

depends on class tbh, most classes benefit immensely but some arn't as dependant

[granite hull]

I'm confused here. All the tripods from my gear are pretty much the same as the ones in my inventory. I saved them there first before applying them to my gear D:

[radiant flame]

Yeah, to different degrees

Support is a bit more qol

[winged harbor]

good, your gear tripods should be saved to page 1 of inventory, those will get learned (because they're in the inventory). Buy the ones you're missing and put them on page 2/3...

[rain meadow]

one h

[fickle kraken]

If what's in inventory is on gear 1:1, then you're set.

[pseudo atlas]

is the tripod in your inventory? it's saved
is the tripod not in your inventory? it's not saved
the end

[granite hull]

I'm good to go then, hell yes

Thanks!

[winged harbor]

inb4 bunch of posts "tripods gone" and they never saved them

[buoyant herald]

oh 100%

and its gonna be funny as fuck cuz we gonna get spammed notices to save them

[rain meadow]

did we?

[buoyant herald]

not yet since the update hasnt been announced yet

[rain meadow]

and im not talking about the content creators

[fickle kraken]

remember that dual class builds like striker, sorc, dB, artillerist and the likes have overlap on skills.

they'll likely need 4-5 pages if 5's aren't multiple in single pieces.

[buoyant herald]

but once they announce it we will get in game spams 100%

[rain meadow]

i'm willing to bet that there will be people posting about the announcement not being in game, like the incorrect powerpass expiration posts

[last wolf]

ive just been reading over some of the guides in maxroll as well as faqs in this server. The best classes r the support classes and there r no best overall for dps. However, r there any dps classes we should be avoiding or r just below average?

[radiant flame]

No DPS is that bad, I think it matters more how it suits your play

[rain meadow]

really depends on your playstyle....

[fickle kraken]

esoteric striker.

[winged harbor]

all dps are viable

[rain meadow]

like, i can't play gs/deadeye/arcana cuz im too boomer

[fickle kraken]

avoid that at all costs

[outer mason]

some easy dps classes: mayhem berserker, sorceress, taijutsu scrapper

[ashen kindle]

If I have 2 doomsday tripods lvl 3 and 4 am I going to get the highest lvl?

[rain meadow]

rip NAW

you get the highest, yes

[winged harbor]

yes, highest gets added

[last wolf]

im in oce and it seems everyone is saying to play on valtan?

[ashen kindle]

Okay nice thanks

[faint roost]

will tripods be harder to achieve, once update comes out?

[radiant flame]

Easier than now, but yes

[fickle kraken]

easier.

[flat dagger]

Drop rates shouldn't change, but easier to learn.

[rain meadow]

depends on what you mean by harder

[faint roost]

i mean im only 1400ilvl, so not much i can do to get relic tripods

[radiant flame]

Hone?

[outer mason]

We'll lose the ability to save tripods 100%
But they'll double the chances to save a tripod in your collection

[rain meadow]

right now, it's harder to get everything on to gear, and it is incredibly difficult to swap to builds that use different tripods

[pseudo atlas]

you won't be able to guarantee even one lv5 tripod let alone 6 like we have now, but success rates are doubled

[last wolf]

i already have an account of lvl 50 on NA west. should i transfer?

like 300

[rain meadow]

uhh NAW isnt necessarily dead lol

[subtle helm]

NAW is bad? that's news to me

[ashen kindle]

WTF Na w is insanely good

[outer mason]

[rain meadow]

NAE does have like triple the population though, probably. Also the blue crystal price is like half of what it is on NAW lol

[inner wing]

[faint roost]

what i mean is, whats the difference between going to 1415, and buying the +4*3 tripods, compared to going straight into the new tripod system, with nothing?

[subtle helm]

Yeah and 60 more ping and no players during his prime time

[radiant flame]

On a DPS class, a lot

[charred sorrel]

is maintenance supposed to end in a minute?

[flat dagger]

In 1 hour, it got extended.

[faint roost]

i dont understand, so itll be harder to get tripods fresh once new tripod update comes out?

[radiant flame]

Max tripods can be about ~30-40% DPS increase. If you take advantage of the tripod change, you only pay in pheons and it’s guaranteed.

[flat dagger]

100% learn chance vs 20% after the update.

[winged harbor]

you cant save tripods to inventory and then get a "free" +4 to start out with

[rain meadow]

Tripods... it really depends on how you look at it

[winged harbor]

you have to gamble every tripod in the new system, but the rates are increased

[radiant flame]

After the update, you are either waiting for tripods to drop, and then using a 20% learn chance, OR spending both pheons and gold to buy amulets with tripods on for same 20% learn chance (this is also the learn chance assuming you are using the dust)

[subtle helm]

Is that 20% with sage?

[flat dagger]

Yea.

[rain meadow]

yes, after the update, 20% chance to learn a tripod can get rough compared to taking advantage of the update which will give you 100% transfer rate

[radiant flame]

Right now, buying +4 tripod gear in a smart way costs next to no net gold because you can resell the gear after you learn it

[rain meadow]

however, if you're stressed about getting to 1415, and then having to buy all the relavant tripods for your class, then I would say it's better to just take it slow and get what you can from chaos dungeons. Then next week before maintenance, make sure your current tripods are saved to your inventory, plus whatever else you may have dropped in that time

[outer mason]

the difference between a +3 tripod and a +4 tripod is not that big

[rain meadow]

the difference between level 4 tripods and level 5 tripods isn't THAT much, plus you don't really want to be buying +3 tripods from the ah

[radiant flame]

I think this is just incorrect because “best stats and engravings” are like 50k+ accessories, even without pheon cost. Tripods are huge and you have completed a huge part of gear progression for free

If you can get to 1415 and take advantage of the change, I just think you should

[winged harbor]

_ _
Current system

1. Buy a piece with +4 from marketplace.
2. Save to inventory
3. Resell it
4. Gamble the rest of the slots as per regular.
   OR
   Gamble all the slots

New system

1. Buy a piece with +4 from marketplace
2. you cannot save it
3. you have to gamble it
   but the rates are doubled

So saving +4s now will make it so you get them for "free" without having to gamble later.

[buoyant herald]

tripods matter more than engravings

[rain meadow]

short term, level 4 tripods actually give a bigger spike

[buoyant herald]

just that ppl look at engravings more than tripods 😄

[radiant flame]

Max level 4 tripods are worth more than 2 engravings

[pseudo atlas]

upgrading from lv4 tripods to lv5 tripods is a significant boost on par with adding another engraving and costs significantly less

[rain meadow]

long term, you'll get both level 5 tripods and 5x3 (probably)

[subtle helm]

One thing you're forgetting, People don't see your tripods in lfg

[flat dagger]

Hard to look at tripods though, especially when they'll be removed from gear too.

[radiant flame]

The way to get engravings is less RNG driven and remains the same

[buoyant herald]

well yeah but still lvl 5 tripods in more important than 5x3

[last wolf]

whats the best way to farm engravings to lvl the nodes?

[radiant flame]

Anyway, I’m done here. You will clearly not change your mind

[flat dagger]

The auction house, with gold.

[rain meadow]

you can get like 15 of your green class engraving books from doing a purple questline in luterra; it starts at thirain in luterra castle (or maybe the scribe beside him)

[flat dagger]

Support standards are 💩 compared to DPS. I get into clown with 3x3 on my Bard No issues supporting them and I know mechanics of course.

[snow hinge]

guys martial artists can make a good mid-low investment alt? (beside control glaivier)

[rain meadow]

id say scrapper is pretty low investment, not like demonic sh or transformation scouter, but... pretty low

[snow hinge]

what about wardancer?

[rain meadow]

doubtful

[flat dagger]

No, very high investment.

[pseudo atlas]

don't low invest wardancer

[snow hinge]

ty for info ❤️

[subtle helm]

mate, g2 is absolutely a dps check for at-ilevel lobbies, and dps lets you skip a large number of mechanics.

You can very easily tell potato supports in vykas by how they mis-time their buffs and don't sync with dps windows.

[radiant flame]

Control glavier is also high “investment” as you kind of need the tripods and relic gear to be an actual class. Don’t just look at how much an engraving cost

[snow hinge]

i know , i have her in my roster, that's why i said beside glaivier

[subtle helm]

Very often, i run weekly learning lobbies

[radiant flame]

On my parked alts? Every week

[flat dagger]

Same on 3x alts at 1460 for HM.

[radiant flame]

What is this perception lol

[rain meadow]

i only know of one person that has that many characters lol

well i think he has 16 or 17

[snow hinge]

some players who play the game for a living maybe

[ashen kindle]

I dont think so atm

Doing dailies on all of them

[radiant flame]

In raids it’s not just about “avoiding wipes” - you increase chances of people just dying by doing low damage because you see more mechanics

[thick ermine]

[ionic lantern]

where do you have this info? I dont see it on the @gaunt ridgelostark twitter

Dailies only took 2mins if you have bifrost

[subtle helm]

And your advice, is to try and leech off these lobbies? come on dude

[flat dagger]

FYI: High Roster or Title only parties don't mean a 100% smooth run, there's pegegas EVERYWHERE.

[ashen kindle]

Maybe you’re doing the wrong dailies

[radiant flame]

So we’re carrying you?

[ashen kindle]

Lopang only take 2mins for me

[winged harbor]

donating to guild + full lopang is 2 minutes for me, i timed it. +-10min for chaosx2 and ~13min for x2 guardian.

Thats still ~6.5 hours of just doing dailies

[pseudo atlas]

chaos and guardians are also dailies

[ashen kindle]

Leapstone from kalaja only took 2mins with moko moko island

[flat dagger]

We're talking about parties unable to survive for even 2 minutes during the fight, happens all the time.

[subtle helm]

At this point i have no idea what you are trying to say except it's probably bad advice

Because

1. helping new players is important
2. we actually understand the new player experience when we give advice

yes, but this is a help channel, not a flex channel. I couldn't give a shit how smooth YOUR runs are

[mild tapir]

your damage is higher because your understand your damage windows so yes...

[grim comet]

I cant imagine doing prog groups every week that would actually kill my mental

[mild tapir]

I enjoy learning parties I join them a lot on my paladins since it's very low stakes with the healing

[subtle helm]

You're basing your advice on joining parties that will carry you through the lobby

Yeah, don't build engravings or worry about dps, just join these lobbies

[cloud pendant]

Server not up?

[next kraken]

anyone know when the new BersTech is gonna drop?

[subtle helm]

You literally go in as a 2x3 engraving support and say Vykas is not a dps check

Sorry mate but you're full of it and im blocking you because its not worth it

[mild tapir]

Extended another hour. 34 more minutes remaining

[crisp turtle]

Since when does vykas have a dps check

[mild tapir]

Very likely with the 16th patch update.. it should include balance patch if i'm not mistaken

[ashen kindle]

If you’re new don’t argue with them cause they know more stuff about you. They played this game for more than 1000hours and we play like 150ish

[rain meadow]

[pseudo atlas]

I mean I wouldn't blindly believe everything but we're entering hour 3 of bad dad hot takes at this point

[crisp turtle]

Yeah half the shit written in here is nonsense

[ashen kindle]

It’s not all about this vykas. I see you earlier recommending me go +17 in my set piece to reach 1415 but I didn’t do it I did it the right way cause I listen to them.

[grim comet]

17 used to be cheaper now w global honing all 15

[ashen kindle]

I have all the resources cause I have alts that can farm gold and I have 1445 main and there’s too much free stuff in game

I can reach 1415 in a week if I have the pp pass

[buoyant herald]

[grim comet]

1445 express

[buoyant herald]

if your main is 1445 you dont have shit

[ashen kindle]

But the new player will maybe

[vital schooner]

My game keeps doing this I can't play anymore.. how to fix this?
I already verify the files few times tho

I know we’re talking about resources to reach alt to 1415 what are you on?

[vital schooner]

oh sorry did not notice I'm returning player tho

until when?

[grim comet]

1370-1415 is like 6k raw tapping

[ashen kindle]

For 1415 it’s not that much

[grim comet]

Used to be 30

U dont even need that much

You can literally get it in 1 week

[grim comet]

Its like few hund leapstones and some guardian stones

Claim the event mats on him and ur good

[ashen kindle]

Chaos line gives you 200 GHL

[rain meadow]

depends on how lucky you get, new players don't have the 1460 sh buff, and the current event might not have enough mats

[grim comet]

2weeks

Its like 40% rate i think

[rain meadow]

i don't remember tbh

[final lake]

Hopefully down just for another 30 minutes or so. There will be an announcement in this Discord when it's back up

[pseudo atlas]

yes up to +15 is at worst 40% base success without sh buff

[ashen kindle]

30% with book if you don’t have stronghold buff

[winged harbor]

23k without stronghold, 18 with

[pseudo atlas]

oh yeah it is 30% base

[ashen kindle]

Books are like 37 gold each😅

[somber roost]

[ashen kindle]

I have 50k gold

[winged harbor]

worst case with SH buff

average is like 6.5k

[outer mason]

#riot

[ashen kindle]

I sell 2 legendary engraving books that I got from anguished isle😂

[subtle helm]

that would be some astronomical luck to hit worst case with 40% base

[ashen kindle]

And I can buy my main char book for like 20k

[maiden locust]

per

[grim comet]

I pitied 3piece w 60%

hence why average is 6.5k 😛

[grim comet]

It can happen

[ashen kindle]

I failed 7x at 50%🤣

[stark pelican]

I played on release and got to about 1350 before Argos got released, how hard would it be to get back to the game and get the gear up to date?

3 times sure, come back when you do it 18 times in a row. We'll call Guiness for you

[grim comet]

I would be on my way to buy a lottery ticket

why server havent up ?

[maiden locust]

it will be hard to catch up to current content but we get a express to 1445 next week

[winged harbor]

extended 1h

[tawny oxide]

i tot suppose to be 3 hours

[stark pelican]

so I should get alts to T3 and wait for next week?

[winged harbor]

express is for one character only

[rain meadow]

get your 1350 to 1370, and then take an argos bus

[winged harbor]

yes

[pseudo atlas]

there's an event right now for 1302-1415, do what you can for that

[rain meadow]

sure

[stark pelican]

oh, where can i find out about that?

it will just throw a big window at you as soon as you log in

[subtle helm]

When you log in you'll get a popup prompt to activate it for 1 character

[pseudo atlas]

ends next week

[stark pelican]

Ty, will check it out

Can i make it until next week?

[pseudo atlas]

replaced with another event that goes from 1302-1445

[winged harbor]

i completed mine in 3-4 days i believe

[subtle helm]

Hmmm, probably? If you play optimally

[stark pelican]

Awesome, ty

[oak oasis]

does anyone know what will happen to lvl 3 tripods with the update?

[winged harbor]

the missions in the express pass is like "harvest 2 guardian souls from punika tier 1", "do oreha x2"

[rain meadow]

even if you dont complete it, it will help you progress nonetheless

[atomic prairie]

it becomes lv 3 until you upgrade it higher

so the new tripod will let u choose between lv1 and lv3

[fickle kraken]

servers up?

[maiden locust]

nope

[atomic prairie]

it should be up soon, coz the MT icon has appeared in https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/support/server-status

they always do that when they're turning on the servers

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-gif-13767303

hyper express and punika pp next week gonna be so fun when everyone makes reapers

[oak oasis]

so i have to buy +4 to replace my +3 if i want to keep them?

[snow hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/lost-ark-servers-gif-24818980

they gatekeeping us

[winged harbor]

you have to buy +4s and save them in inventory if you want to keep them, you dont neseccarily have to save them on page 1 where your "gear tripods" are saved. you can save them to page 2/3 etc and still get them autolearned when the transition happens

[oak oasis]

gaye

roster like 85

[pseudo atlas]

you can just save whatever tripods you have to inventory, they don't have to be +4 but +4 is ideal

[oak oasis]

TY ❤️

1430 is my highest

[atomic prairie]

no it doesn't work like that, you keep your tripod as is if you have like a +3 on, but if you want a +4 for free in the next patch then you have to buy them off AH and save them in your tripod inventory so that you won't have to gamble later if you still have +3 tripod

[oak oasis]

okay i was worried id lose +3

[winged harbor]

#lost-ark-help message

[atomic prairie]

no lol

[rain meadow]

[atomic prairie]

where info?

[rain meadow]

the same forum post lol

[atomic prairie]

damn it

[stark pelican]

what is considered softcap gear atm?

[oak oasis]

yeah most of my chars are lvl 3, ive just seen a lot of people talking about +4 upgrading and nothing else

[atomic prairie]

i mean, there's nothing worth noting on the maintenance, what takes them so long

[winged harbor]

~1500 after that the rates are abysmal

[atomic prairie]

yeah because if you can afford it by spending pheons (at least on ur main) then it's ez lv5 tripod all skills next patch

[oak oasis]

ty for the help 🙂

[winged harbor]

the people talking about the +4s are usually people who are 1475+ with relic accs and at least 5x3. Those people cant spend gold on accs or engravings more to increase damage (unless you want to buy accs for 300k gold each) so they are buying tripod gear to get the last bit of damage next patch.

At 1430 focus on getting an engraving to +12 and getting relic accs etc

exactly. we're still trying to get full +4 with just dumb luck but this patch guarantees it, so we're willing to spend those pheons

[atomic prairie]

i don't even have a +4 on my main, sadge

the rate is like what u said, abysmal

yea i play db as primary main, and pala, scrapper as alternate mains

they're all brel ready

[thick ermine]

oh damn I can save them in the inventory and then sell them again to make back the cash I used ?! I forgot I could do that I was gonna keep them keck

[cloud pendant]

Will the punika pass have expiry date?

[atomic prairie]

yeah it will

[winged harbor]

if you buy tripod stuff with "trades" remaining

[thick ermine]

Ok fair point

[split kayak]

what's the order of easiest ignea to get until skill pot/bifrost?

[thick ermine]

I did not even think of checking this

[winged harbor]

rethramis - yudia - tortoyk - annika - shusire < arthentine - yorn - rohendel

[atomic prairie]

that's the order

you can follow that and watch mrvuule's youtube for the guide on each region

[subtle helm]

Doesn't Yorn have that RNG dish

[split kayak]

thanksss

[winged harbor]

yeah, but the rates are improved IIRC. I completed everything except rapport for feiton in 2 days

[fickle kraken]

rip.

guess I'll do island in 5 hours. 😐

[atomic prairie]

Still not up btw

nice another hour

[subtle helm]

Yes yes we know #riot

[granite hull]

On top of the extra hour we already got?

[atomic prairie]

yes it should've been 4 AM but now it's 5 AM

[thick ermine]

What would you suggest to new players then? If we play dps getting grudge +12 is just impossible before probably 3 months of savings up most of the gold we earn (so no honing)

[granite hull]

ouch

[winged harbor]

thats what another implies 😛

[winged harbor]

you still want it anyway right, and getting that is more important than getting the tripods. you dont need 5x3 until clown anyway.

[atomic prairie]

i would suggest you avoid grudge eng at first if you're new, i ran 4x3 without grudge pretty fine until i reach 1460 and start to buy grudge book slowly

[oak oasis]

grudge good

[winged harbor]

and also depending on your roster there could be another book to buy

[subtle helm]

Probably closer to 1 month, if you literally stopped honing and dumped all your mats on the AH. but Grudge gold is just a cost every player eventually has to eat. Park your Main at Vykas hard and do it sooner rather than later

Alternatively go for hipster non-grudge builds, and then wish you just gotten grudge 1 month later

[oak oasis]

you will also use it on multiple characters

[atomic prairie]

yes roster wise, grudge is very valuable, but for new players the price is just not very friendly

[mild tapir]

It'll take a very long time to farm enough for Grudge right now

[atomic prairie]

this is a better way to go if you're still new

go 1460 first rather than saving for grudge right away

yeap

[boreal violet]

heard there will be 1445 express pass and punika pass, is there a way to save these for summoner?

[cloud pendant]

server still not up?

[atomic prairie]

my journey down the road was a 1460 main then 5 1415 alts, then save gold while honing ur main slowly using bound materials obtained from weekly raid chests (i suggest you still buy them on ur main for the mats, for unexpected lucky honing session :D)

[cloud pendant]

i have the same question

[boreal violet]

summoner squad, fuck reaper hehehe

[maiden locust]

you can use the powerpass but not the express probably

[buoyant herald]

we dont know yet but i'd guess you can use it for summoner just wait for next week when we see the dates

[atomic prairie]

i guess there will also be a power pass for summoner

[boreal violet]

ahh they will say already next week, cool

[cloud pendant]

what about the hyper expres 😦

[boreal violet]

Yeah i was more thinking about the hyper express

[buoyant herald]

same for both just wait and see

[boreal violet]

hopefully it doesnt run out b4 summ comes out

[atomic prairie]

hyperexpress usually ends when another class is coming

[buoyant herald]

if it runs out we gonna get another one

[atomic prairie]

just like the machinist one

[thick ermine]

That is my aim, main should be 1460 tomorrow, then I will start to lvl up with the buff my alts to 1415 and then use event to take one to 1445 at least and go from there.

[boreal violet]

ah ye true

[thick ermine]

Hopefully after few weeks I will have enough to invest and start pushing for my main to be 1475

[cloud pendant]

erm is the server maintannce been pushed back again?

[boreal violet]

getting alts to 1415 is good for the tripods

[atomic prairie]

this is a good plan already, with the hyper express coming next week, it's easy to get one of ur alt to 1445. from there you start saving gold slowly from working ur alts off

[mild tapir]

I think so... because I haven't been able to connect.

[atomic prairie]

yes another hour, it'd be up in 48 mins if there's not another delay

[cloud pendant]

what the

[boreal violet]

its ok guys, you can do other things hahaha

[atomic prairie]

you can touch some grass

[boreal violet]

its always like this every wednesday no need to be surprised lol

do you have to get a character expansion ticket or something to have more than 6 chars?

[maiden locust]

yes

[boreal violet]

can you buy it ig or?

or real money?

[rain meadow]

real money

[maiden locust]

real money only

[boreal violet]

ahh rip

[thick ermine]

Yeah I got full 4's on main ready for the update but .... no money for alts so I will just get them naturally and pray

[cloud pendant]

anyone plays more than 2 supports as their alt here?

[boreal violet]

You could also get extra 4s on your main in case spells get reworked or buffed

[atomic prairie]

i have exactly 2 sups (a pala and a bard)

[boreal violet]

But I would focus on getting your alts after if you have alts you like

[thick ermine]

tbh, I feel comfortable sticking to my 2 spender eso wd

[atomic prairie]

i don't see a reason where i want to make another bard or pala coz it'll be repetitive, unless a new support class comes out, then 2 is enough

[thick ermine]

I dont feel the need to chase the most optimal spec just yet

[mild tapir]

Most support mains have multiple of the same if not both supports

[boreal violet]

Yeah ofc I'm the same, I just have 4s on my SF and Deadeye

[atomic prairie]

well im not a support main, so there's that

[cloud pendant]

i wanna make more supports as i think its so much easier to get into party

[mild tapir]

I get into parties with one engraving as a support

[atomic prairie]

agreed, tho i'd also like to see some juice dps from my char xD

[boreal violet]

it is, but is it fun?

[dapper geyser]

anyone know why lost ark might have been removed from my steam library?

[atomic prairie]

never happened to me

[cloud pendant]

yea so i can invest more mats into main. with less gold spent on supports

[dapper geyser]

makes sense XD

[cloud pendant]

so i can see more juice on main 😛

[boreal violet]

yeah but u still have to play 5 sups then lol

[dapper geyser]

idk store says it's in my library but it's not showing up

[atomic prairie]

did u try searching it?

there's a search bar on top of ur game list, try typing lostark see if it shows

[dapper geyser]

that didn't work but re-launching steam worked :p favorites were not showing up I guess

[atomic prairie]

visual bugs i guess

[stark pelican]

how much are argos buses nowadays?

[atomic prairie]

usual price is around 900ish

[stark pelican]

oh thats pretty cheap

[atomic prairie]

if there are too many drivers it could drop to 700 even

[maiden locust]

?

[atomic prairie]

check again in 37 mins

[maiden locust]

did they delay the update? i just came back from school

[atomic prairie]

yeah delayed another hour

[maiden locust]

😂

[atomic prairie]

[maiden locust]

im used to it by now so i dont care

[atomic prairie]

most of us are getting used to it, so xD

[subtle helm]

Just checking, how many people have their Destroyer, Artillerist and Arcanist skill tripods saved for the skills that are to be deleted?

[atomic prairie]

i have none of the aforementioned classes

xD

[subtle helm]

Anyone?

[boreal violet]

Same, but thinking of getting arcanist or destroyer lul

[subtle helm]

Hmm maybe it's not true then

[atomic prairie]

they'll give you an amulet to level up any tripod to lv5 if im not wrong, when there's a skill with lv5 tripod on it getting deleted

[timid tide]

On the same line, that that tripod was in

[runic tundra]

not up yet?

[subtle helm]

What were the skills getting deleted again?

One-Man Army, Freeze shell, and something

[atomic prairie]

nope

[grim slate]

I hate not properly vibing with any class for it to be my proper alt. They all feel eh

[stark pelican]

did they do something about the 21:9 fov advantage in pvp?

[mild tapir]

when in doubt make 6 of the same thing

[timid tide]

Nope and probably never will, you can't exactly fix that

[rose jewel]

force it to 21:9 yourself, boom, advantage gone

[subtle helm]

they added an option to force the aspect ratio in options and called it a day

[stark pelican]

ye it's been there forever

[grim slate]

That would be a bit too boring I am afraid

[rose jewel]

there are a lot of people with 24 of the same class, so

[timid tide]

Fun fact 21:9 is insane for bussing vykas because you can scout 11 and 5 positions

[rose jewel]

clearly for them its not boring

[subtle helm]

Play 6 sorcs with 6 different builds lul.

[mild tapir]

I have 10 paladins and 6 deadeyes, the rest are the other male chars and I like playing them except in chaos where it does get tedious

[grim slate]

As a newbie: B'cuse me?!

[mild tapir]

I'd rather play the classes I do like than the ones I don't though... COUGH STRIKER

[boreal violet]

I'm just a guy that enjoys playing different play styles lol, SF rotation based, Taijutsu scrapper for swiftness, Paladin as a counter maaaachine and Deadeye for massive unloading back attacks

[quaint terrace]

Is there a twitter account or discord bot that let us know when the servers are back?

[atomic prairie]

my roster consisted of different classes. I like to play different stuffs. Enjoyed it more like that

[mild tapir]

It's playlostark for the twitter but it has been quiet since maintenance

[atomic prairie]

i usually check on https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/support/server-status

[rose jewel]

just f5 every 5 seconds for maximum efficiency

[quaint terrace]

thanks!

[atomic prairie]

and it’s not up yet btw, save ur time checking

[rose jewel]

im glad i work in the morning on patch days, i can see all the sh*tstorm everywhere when it gets delayed

[grim slate]

Me, who has the late shift:

[quaint terrace]

apparently it's up now

[rain meadow]

[rose jewel]

that 5 seconds refresh timer did work

[snow wadi]

[subtle helm]

Thanks @rose jewel

[rose jewel]

?

[subtle helm]

your f5 spam pull through for us

[rose jewel]

i didn't do it, fk that, thank leandro, our hero

[subtle helm]

Thanks @quaint terrace

[rose jewel]

maybe amazon felt the pressure of one single person spamming refresh to check the sites, or maybe it accelerated the maintenance on the servers /s

[snow wadi]

BitDefender doesn't like lostmerchants

[boreal violet]

If you have more than 6 chars, what are the restrictions? I know you can only earn gold on 6 but how does the mats work?

[rose jewel]

that's literally the only restriction

you can not get gold, you can get mats everywhere else and even buy the chests at the end of raids, at the cost of spending extra coz no gold

[boreal violet]

so there isnt a limit on total mats you can earn a day or something?

[thin token]

nop

[rose jewel]

only for content which you can enter once a day or a week rosterwide

[boreal violet]

ait ait

[steep hemlock]

do i have to do some logging to get this timber

like i want to make the pot chests, whats a good ratio of foraging to timber then

[shy yarrow]

that's stronghold farming, but yes, wood come from logging

[steep hemlock]

ty

[steep hemlock]

do my tools effect stronghold farming? what kinda tools should i be aiming for

[rose jewel]

purple tools are just ok, unless you 24/7 live to lifeskill, which in that case you wont be touching stronghold farm

[steep hemlock]

i only stronghold farm, but most of my tools are blue

[rose jewel]

get purple tools, 1 or 2g for the craft material needed from AH and like 50 or 100g to craft one? i honestly forgot but its not expensive

[cinder lark]

hello, scrapper is my main, i love how fast it is with quick cooldowns and love the weapon glow, with the new event next week im torn between using the express event on wardancer, striker or soulfist. anyone here play any of those and have any input?

[shy yarrow]

pretty sure they do, get purples like signum said its a worthwhile upgrade for the paralysis immune buff if anything

[shy yarrow]

all 3 of these are similar playstyle to scrapper, youll probably like war dancer

[modern olive]

Since Roxx confirmed Tripods update will be next week with the Reaper, Will it also include the classes balance changes like the Arti rework?

[cinder lark]

thats probably what ill go since i can also transfer my skins to that character so thats awesome

[low trail]

yes as its part of the November update as well

[maiden locust]

can I change pet buff from anywhere with crystalline?

[rose jewel]

Wardancer is a bursty class, you will have long cooldowns until relic gear, both accesories and armors, and also some decent gems.... and tripods ;D, she's a late bloomer but once she comes online she feels good to play, also very good synergies with low CD.

Soul fist is also a kinda-ish late bloomer, gets better with relic gear but not unplayable without. Real piano class.

No idea about striker, no boobies = ignore :c but he's the counterpart of Wardancer so playstyle is very similar

[wraith elbow]

guys can i use a punika powerpass on a fresh account that has never arrived to punika "by hands"?

[cinder lark]

lol true no boobies= ignore truee but yea ill probably go wardancer, thank you guys 🙏

[maiden locust]

if you buy 1 yes

[storm scarab]

Anybody else having the problem being stuck at 3/4 of a loading bar?

[wraith elbow]

so with the reaper event that pass is not usable on fresh account?

[rose jewel]

no, because you have to clear punika to get the punika pass, that's not fresh

[thin token]

ur game probably crashed mid-loading@storm scarab

[thick ermine]

This means that once I open it it will be bound to my character spec (wardancer)? or will it be to my class (female martial artist)?

[storm scarab]

Happend two times in 10 minutes, never had that before, that’s why I wondered

[rose jewel]

weapons, IIRC*, are char bound, not class bound, like only WD will be able to use them, not glaivier, not soul fist etc

[low trail]

yeah as they're specific for their class they'll probably be bound to WD

[rose jewel]

the rest of the skins are class bound, all martial artists can use them, like body, hat etc

[crisp turtle]

Of the same gender ^

[thick ermine]

Ok thanks got it 🙂

[rose jewel]

well yes, unless you wanna see a top on a male char

[crisp turtle]

Maybe I would like to

[rose jewel]

wont judge

high heels as well?

[crisp turtle]

Why not

[rose jewel]

just confirming, not judging

[crisp turtle]

[rose jewel]

🏃‍♂️

[low trail]

definitely not judging

[wraith elbow]

could u tell me what are the prices for the passes? im full character slots so i cannot check myself from character selection screen...

[rose jewel]

5500 royal crystals, no idea about your local currency but about 50 bucks? for US (im not from the US)

[maiden locust]

you already have a characters thats done punika?

[rose jewel]

each continent skipped will cost 1100 royal crystals, if the character is fresh that's 5500, if your character has completed any continent starting from vern (ignoring shushire), that's:
Vern = 4400
Rohendel = 3300
Yorn = 2200
Feiton = 1100

[wraith elbow]

not on the account i would like to use the pass on

[maiden locust]

why not buy a character slot then?

[rose jewel]

it's a new account

[wraith elbow]

exactly...what about buying story progress with gold from stronghold?

do i still need a character that has already completed that storyline?

[maiden locust]

yes

[wraith elbow]

bullshittt

[rose jewel]

knowledge transfer needs you to complete the continent beforehand, and only skips main story, you need to item level to KT (excluding vern)

[maiden locust]

why make a new account when you already have one?

[rose jewel]

so yeah, just throw 50 bucks if you want a zoom zoom

[wraith elbow]

yea thats a no for me rofl

[rose jewel]

you will save yourself hours and hours of questing

but if you play an mmo and expecting everything to be free and taking no time at all, idk what to tell you

besides, what happened with your previous account that you're so willingly making a new one, banned? hacked?

forgot the password?

[glossy swallow]

can i run kakul rehersal and then run normal mode in one week?
and can i do this on one character?

[rose jewel]

no

if you run rehearsal, you're locked from normal on that same char
if you run normal, you're locked from rehearsal on your roster
you can't run more than 1 rehearsal a week

and no, you cant get more than 200 condoms a week

[glossy swallow]

So i can run rehearsal on alt to help pepega friend once per week, then do normal on main?

[maiden locust]

yes

[rose jewel]

yes

[dusky portal]

is there any kind of ship upgrade calculator or a list of required stuff?

[snow wadi]

https://papunika.com/ships/

[dusky portal]

ty

[rose jewel]

lostarkcodex.com as well for more indepth

[cursive shadow]

I'm wandering if since it will be a smart idea to use the next express event to make a striker or a wardancer and get them to 1445 since I heard that they only get good once you hit 1445 and can get them relic gears

[rose jewel]

that's an option, up to you, i main the class and im biased towards her tho

but yes she's fun to play once you get your relic gear and armors

And gems at a decent level AND tripods

[cursive shadow]

Kk I am definitely going to make wardancer and or striker eventually just wandering if maybe il make her now and take advantage of the express event

[rose jewel]

for sure, less time being useless

[radiant flame]

As the other guy said it’s up to you but you might want to consider how your roster is and how much you are planning to invest into the alt and so on

Striker and WD are not cheap classes

[rose jewel]

specially alts

[radiant flame]

So, it’s just a commitment. Neither are very “optimal” alts

You don’t have to play optimally for economy, but you should just bear it in mind

[rose jewel]

they will feel bad if you leave them just at lopang slavery, you gotta commit a bit more than usual to make them feel good

still waiting on tripod update so my 2nd WD (alt) doesnt feel like garbo

the damage is notoriously low compared to lv4-5 tripods

[cursive shadow]

Um ok than will do some thinking beforehand might go artilerist

[radiant flame]

Yeah. My experience is making my SH a PS alt. Thought it was a great idea because DI books were so expensive. But PS is just so crap with no investment

content becomes less enjoyable etc etc

[cursive shadow]

Why is every thing happening in the 16 there's literally no time for anything

[rain meadow]

that's normally how it happens

[radiant flame]

Not to harp on, but you knew this was happening

[rose jewel]

what relic gear helps for is cooldowns, but you also have tripods for your buff and crit synergy for that, need them

[radiant flame]

We had a month to prepare based on their roadmap

[cursive shadow]

I mean I'm not saying I'm surprised kk

[radiant flame]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[rose jewel]

you're kinda new-ish, of course you feel like that

[maiden locust]

they took ark pass weapon, gave it back but dyes were removed, no compensation i angry now

[rose jewel]

but people that has been playing since day 1 have felt that for 8 months lmao

[cursive shadow]

I mean dractyr on wow update on maplestory new pokemon new vanguard

Also lost ark

[rose jewel]

ah, new games, well yes

[radiant flame]

This feels unsustainable to me lol

[rose jewel]

that's what you get when you play an mmo and wanna play other things as well

[cursive shadow]

Wow I don't play as mouch

[rose jewel]

unless you live off of streaming or you have no responsibilities in life, you have no time for everything
