lost-ark-help

[radiant flame]

Or that’s what zeals said

[untold creek]

my problem with this game is that they make it all so incredibly complicated for no reason.. its not user friendly.

[fair mantle]

Zeals said he knows a few people who have them, but again yeah very very rare

[fair mantle]

welcome to mmos

[radiant flame]

Yeah, poe skill tree is super intuitive

[untold creek]

most mmo's are user friendly, again like PoE

[radiant flame]

Also poe is not an mmo wym

[fair mantle]

I mean lost ark is more just overwhelming amount of systems than complex systems imo

[radiant flame]

With 30 lines of text to explain a single skill gem on poe

And about 30 different currencies

Anyway I digress. I’ve played poe since release with breaks. Poe is not simple. Not saying lost ark is, but I don’t think lost ark is hugely more complicated than other mmos

[maiden locust]

poe is god tier game

[fair mantle]

yeah any mmo feels simple when you've played long enough

[olive saddle]

Are they bringing tier 4?

[radiant flame]

Eventually

[fair mantle]

no

[rain meadow]

not right now...

[fair mantle]

they confirmed it wont be coming

[radiant flame]

Ever?

[rain meadow]

maybe after thaemine

[fair mantle]

yes

[rain meadow]

there's no way we're stuck in t3 forever lol

[radiant flame]

From what?

[fair mantle]

The last Korean director live stream

[radiant flame]

Loa on just recently suggested there will be a tier 4 but they will think about how it’s implemented

[shy chasm]

ok so maintainance is still on?

[fair mantle]

it'd be extremely hard to transition into a whole new tier if you think about it

[rain meadow]

yes maint is still going

[mild tapir]

Yes

Would it though?

[shy chasm]

they said 2hrs

[rain meadow]

well, they're going to have to figure out how to speedrun people through low t3 then, eventually

[fair mantle]

not rlly, it was more like we dont plan on doing a tier 4 ever unless someone comes up with a god plan on how it works and make a smooth transition

[radiant flame]

Yeah I agree and I think sg knows that, so is still thinking about how to do it

Yeah sure

[rain meadow]

going through like 5 gear sets... is no small feat

[mild tapir]

I always thought it would be increased level cap with introduced of new relic sets

[radiant flame]

I don’t think that means there will never be a tier 4

[fair mantle]

theyd still have to go through it if tier 4 would ever be released

[radiant flame]

Just not in the next 12 months at least

[rain meadow]

not necessarily, they have to condense it whether they make t4 or not

[fair mantle]

well yeah 12 months for Korea is like 24 moths for us but youre right ig

[rain meadow]

they'd also have to figure out what to do with the current legion raid content if they ever make t4 lol

[radiant flame]

It does seem like KR getting fed up of tiny soft resets and nothing actually to farm so, they’re going to have to do something

Yeah it will be a huge change for sure, and it won’t be something they do short term. So I guess why the message is that tier 4 is not coming soon

[dreamy bluff]

They will make t4 once all the current legion raids have been nerfed into the ground. Story wise they have points where they can make a t4 and it would make since. Adding t4 doesn't mean everyone has to be at t4 on day 1.

Like when they legion plotline is completely done is a good point to release t4 and we start traveling to a different world and sgit

[radiant flame]

It’s not as simple as that. People have invested god knows how much into optimising their tier 3 gear

So it’s more about how they can introduce a new tier of content without fucking with peoples investment

[mild tapir]

It’s sort of what happens during shifts to new content though similar to raiding in other MMO’s then new raids come and they re gear

[radiant flame]

Maybe with some mmos but this is not that sort of mmo

[mild tapir]

Like gems are a lengthy time sink but it doesn’t mean they’re not usable

[radiant flame]

Or at least, I don’t think it is

[fair mantle]

They have to convert the T3 investements into T4 somehow which is one of the bigger challenges here

[radiant flame]

It’s not gems. It’s the RNG stuff. The 9/7 stones. The 100q weapons. Esther weapon

[mild tapir]

Well cards already carry over, gems can be combined to say level 6 at 10 and continually progressed. Likely new relic sets engraving satay

[fair mantle]

It's as simple as it sounds

[mild tapir]

I’m not particularly sure how much of that they’ll keep

[solar knoll]

does the north vern powerpass you get from the main quest expire after some time?

[mild tapir]

No

[fair mantle]

That's why they're disregarding it and not working on it unless some gigabrain decides to present a plan

[radiant flame]

Esther weapons will be the most difficult issue for them to address, in all honesty

[mild tapir]

I just don’t think there can be a transition to T4 while holding onto most of what you have

[radiant flame]

Right, so that’s the problem?!

[fair mantle]

That's what the problem is

[mild tapir]

The entire premise of the game is to grind to get stronger so if you disregard that then what

[radiant flame]

Ok? But you are making it sounds like it’s a continual progression

[mild tapir]

We’re just progressing to T4 without any changes might as well call it T3+

[fair mantle]

[mild tapir]

The whole game is a continual progression that’s an MMO

[radiant flame]

LA is not like that

[fair mantle]

I don't think you understand how the tier transition works

[radiant flame]

How long did you spend in t1 and t2 compared to t3?

[mild tapir]

Yes because they’ve already moved from T1 to T2 to T3

[fair mantle]

Maybe you should look at some old Korea footage of how disastrous tier 2 to tier 3 transition was

[dreamy bluff]

The only way they can make future content work is if they perma lock the success rate to like 1-5% for all the years of future content which would be kinda weird. So whether we like it or not a big reset will happen.

[mild tapir]

With hard resets to expedite to T3

[radiant flame]

This

[mild tapir]

They’ve even streamlined a lot of the guardian content where it used to drop armors

[radiant flame]

And that was pre Esther weapon

[fair mantle]

Yeah

[radiant flame]

Esther weapon fucks it all over, tbh

[mild tapir]

I’m pretty sure a hard reset is inevitable

[radiant flame]

It’s the biggest problem

[radiant flame]

I don’t think they can rn, and that is the problem and why they’re not developing t4 without a plan, which is what we’ve been saying all along, and what they’ve been saying on stream

I don’t think you appreciate how much money has gone into those Esther weapons

[mild tapir]

I’m not saying right now I’m saying that’s what’ll happen when it does

[radiant flame]

They cannot just delete them

But a “hard reset” forces them to

[untold creek]

I know this might not be the topic for this group but anyone know a good MMO.. that would kinda be like this and PoE?

[mild tapir]

Like the amount of gold to even contemplate moving to +25 is near $8k in USD

And even that’s getting transferred. You won’t gain full value but you’ll have some value and Esther can be the same

[last wolf]

damn NA W still down?

been like 4 hours

[radiant flame]

Right. Esther 8s are what, 30k USD+ for just the weapon alone

[mild tapir]

+25 weapon* from 21

If you’re spending $30k on the game I’m sorry but I don’t think it’ll bother you to spend the next $40k

[radiant flame]

So the problem is - are you going to give Esther 8 holders an immediate advantage in a new tier

[mild tapir]

Especially if it’s just the weapon

[radiant flame]

Or fuck them

[mild tapir]

Yes? Money has always had an advantage in this game

[radiant flame]

Man, do you even understand why people invested though?

They invested because they essentially believed it would be the god tier weapon that would stay

[mild tapir]

Lost Ark has been out for 9 months. People invested 8k in calculation for the weapon alone for current prices. Not including on release to this point.

Money is not the concern for whales nor will it be

[fair mantle]

[radiant flame]

I feel like you do not understand economy in this game lol

But anyway, this is o/t

[mild tapir]

Sure I suppose not? Lmao

[radiant flame]

Anyway why ask us. Ask some KR streamers who are whales and ask them what they think

[mild tapir]

I didn’t ask you, you just told me all these things

[brazen leaf]

#lost-ark-discussions#lost-ark-discuss-2

[radiant flame]

Right but you are disagreeing simply on … idk what other than you think there should be a hard reset and that’s that

[dreamy bluff]

That's like saying they shouldn't improve the game because already people spent money. I feel like at one point they need to force the change down the whales throat

[radiant flame]

i'm not saying they shouldn't at all

[mild tapir]

I don’t really understand any solutions offered just holding onto the old because of fear of the new lol

[brazen leaf]

Why are you guys blowing wind here

[fair mantle]

[radiant flame]

it's more that whales kind of keep the game afloat for f2p players

[trail hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/pepega-swipe-pepega-swipe-credit-card-credit-gif-23046210

[mild tapir]

If we cater around the whales there won’t be any players Asmon even discusses this

[radiant flame]

if there are no whales, the game just dies, period

asmon, lol, what a great source

[mild tapir]

But I digress it’s a pointless topic

[untold creek]

who are the whales

what do you refer to as whale

[mild tapir]

Even if you disagree with him as a source what he said was true, whales do like being better than regular people but it’s less valuable if there are no people

[trail hawk]

koreans arent saying game is p2w, but instead p2lose

because non whales will ALWAYS catch up to the whales

[mild tapir]

Except esther*

Well + esther*

[untold creek]

what is a whale

[trail hawk]

person who spends lots € on a game

[mild tapir]

People who spend exorbitant amounts of money on the game

[untold creek]

hermit are you a lesbian

[dreamy bluff]

The majority of player are casuals and hardcore f2p. Catering to whales will only make those people feel worse and drive them out. Once the whales have no one to flex on, they will also leave and find the next game to whale on

[mild tapir]

Yup you caught me, ha no I’m a dude

[trail hawk]

how does a whale flex in this game tho, "ooh look at this shiny wpn?"

[radiant flame]

i think you fundamentally do not understand how the economy of this specific game operates if you believe that

[mild tapir]

I will never have a +25 weapon nor beat them for MVP. That’s their flex

[radiant flame]

SA servers literally do not work right now for f2p because their BC prices are through the roof

[fair mantle]

I feel #lost-ark-discuss-2 is too empty 🙂

[trail hawk]

youll eventually have +25

[mild tapir]

But not today 😉

[trail hawk]

see, p2lose

[brazen leaf]

I know right

[mild tapir]

Yesss I understand Hamborgir I’m leaving

[dreamy bluff]

Yes but no. The soft reset always happens before we actually need to hone to +25 so we never really need to be +25 but people like seeing big numbers so they go +25

[untold creek]

I am a whale when it comes to testicular size

[dreamy bluff]

Do whales even have those? Are u trying to tell us something?

[rough prawn]

Probably ya

I got stoked when i saw a 1575 bard in my vykas last night lol

Man got hell vyk title too but im pretty sure he didnt acc buy he was pretty good

[fair mantle]

For the people about to pour in in 3 mins, no the server is not up, if it is check #announcements or #official-updates for information

[full loom]

Anyone know how to solve this

[fair mantle]

Literally look at the message above yours

[rough prawn]

@fair mantle ahahha

[fair mantle]

Smh

[rough prawn]

Tahts crzy

[full loom]

That message wasn't their when I was about to post mine

[untold creek]

Yo

[buoyant herald]

euw has no population*

[full loom]

Nah had a trouble getting the picture had to take it like 3 time

[untold creek]

eu central?

[buoyant herald]

euc is the biggest one 😄

[fair mantle]

For the people about to pour in anytime now, no the server is not up, if it is check #official-updates or #announcements for more information

[untold creek]

but can i transfer my character to eu central?

[buoyant herald]

no

[untold creek]

why bro you break my heart

[ripe sedge]

I don't get this. My sever is still down but most others are up?

[oak oasis]

azena una down na est but rest are up

[fair mantle]

They are not

[buoyant herald]

they arent its a bugg click on them and it says they are down too

[ripe sedge]

Is this gonna turn into another 16 hour sever down, all cuz of 10 phenos?

[buoyant herald]

well its alr 7h in so almost half way there

[fair mantle]

5 hours

[buoyant herald]

for now

[untold creek]

the auction house is server based or region ?

[buoyant herald]

region

[formal scarab]

Maintenance over?

[untold creek]

I am looking online and they show that theres 8 europe west servers

[untold creek]

but on my screen i see only 2

[buoyant herald]

*were they got merged

[untold creek]

makes sense

how do i do if i make a gf on EU central but i am a EU west boy

there isnt a way to meet up for some fun time

[vast oriole]

you restart on euc, euw is dead

[maiden locust]

Why is it that only Azena is not finished with the maintenance?

[buoyant herald]

you get a free 1445 pretty much a good time to restart if you havent done too much

[buoyant herald]

click the others they will go down too its a bugg

[untold creek]

i am lvl 45

[vast oriole]

so restart, lvl 45 is nothing

[buoyant herald]

oh then 100% restart on euc 😄

[vast oriole]

it shouldnt even be a question

[fair mantle]

That's nothing just reroll

[maiden locust]

So all the servers are not finished yet?

[fair mantle]

No server is up

[buoyant herald]

ppl have thousand hour and reroll to euc lvl 45 is nothing just save yousrelf a headache

[untold creek]

Is there a higher % of women in EUC? but yeah i will reroll to euc for sure. euw is sad as fuck, all the guilds are empty

[buoyant herald]

not up*

[vast oriole]

yes because theres more population in euc

[fair mantle]

That's what it means

[radiant flame]

He asked %. More pop doesn’t mean higher %

[fair mantle]

0.002% take it or leave it

[mental hound]

how long is karta gonna be down for

[buoyant herald]

its confusing as fuck for my small brain

[vast oriole]

true

[fair mantle]

We don't know keep checking #official-updates

[mental hound]

ty

[untold creek]

[merry reef]

So, anyone with negative pheons haha

[misty wolf]

apparently the pheons are there, if you logged in before maitenance even mails are still there

[radiant flame]

no, but this is probably the worst scenario lol

[misty wolf]

if you havent, oh well

[radiant flame]

they've just fucked people over who didn't log in

[alpine trout]

Hey this is for help, not a discussion channel.

[tough atlas]

Ok

[severe lichen]

What's the best server choice for beginner player from Poland (Central Europe) or should I change CE for something different

[ripe sedge]

So what was even the point of the downtime

I didn't lose any phenos from last night

[dapper geyser]

how do strikers gain push immunity with tiger kick?

is it bc dashes are innately uninterruptable?

[lean pelican]

Guys have question, do we still have somewhere to buy mokoko outfits with weapons?

[outer mason]

Tenacity tripod?

[dapper geyser]

oh does that convert to push immune?

[outer mason]

Tenacity grants Push immunity

[dapper geyser]

ah ok thanks I don't have a striker just wondered

Someone knows why i can't create a character on that slot?

[rose jewel]

"Universal storage" answers so many things

[crisp turtle]

possibly because you've got one in universal storage

[rose jewel]

please go and read the whole thing in the forums

[dapper geyser]

pheon exploit. patched.

[glossy swallow]

There are many poles in Neria.

If you dislike hearing kurwa and other slurs like" je*ani makaroniarze chcą nam odebrać serwer", any in euc will work.
If you prefer hearing polish, to zapnij pasy, bo czat to komedia

[rough prawn]

Das not true

[dapper geyser]

damn didn't know lost ark was lenient with slurs

[dapper geyser]

not pathched yet??!?! 0_0000

[rough prawn]

There was no exploit at all regarding making new char and deleting

Cause u wouldnt get the pheons, had to be old char

[crisp turtle]

well, seeing as thats the complete opposite of what the official post says...

[dapper geyser]

oh fr? idk I just read the forum post

[rough prawn]

Yea its pr move

[dapper geyser]

it said making and deleting chars idk

[rough prawn]

I tried abusing it with making new char and deleting but it didnt work

[glossy swallow]

@severe lichen i forgot to ping in answer

[rough prawn]

But ofc they had 5 hr of downtime, they have to say some bs

As to why they did a 5 hr maint lol

[severe lichen]

Thanks 😛

[crisp turtle]

yup. they definately had 5hours of downtime for no reason whatsoever, it must have been just to annoy their players

[rough prawn]

They prolly wanted to rollback the pheons but after seeing forums they saw the backlash and proceeded to not do it lmao

[rose jewel]

i thank them for the 5hrs down time, more material for me to go and watch the forums burn

[buoyant herald]

or they just couldnt figure it out

[rough prawn]

That too

It pretty scummy that they would lie but w/e pr is pr

[rough whale]

i cant log in so i cant check, but if we didnt log in to claim them last night, can we still claim 10 pheons per alt?

[flat dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-deverin-washington-mayor-of-kingstown-no-way-not-gonna-happen-gif-24147648

People who were online could claim and keep it, but anyone online now won't be able to get it.

[rose jewel]

[woven totem]

servers up?

[flat dagger]

I got a 7/7 stone and 5/3 accessory out of it

[rose jewel]

dude's playing ff14 asking if la is up

i bet he has 4 hands

[runic tundra]

can someone explain regarding the tripod update , the before and after
i dont understand

[radiant flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWJxnXiX7jU

[olive saddle]

For 11 spare vaykas what do I do? They are threatening to kick me

[rough prawn]

Huh

[radiant flame]

you stay at 11 oclock for 68 mech

[rough prawn]

Oh its ur 1st time running vykas?

[olive saddle]

Yes

[rough prawn]

Did u join exp group

[radiant flame]

and take the third black orb

if no third orb you go elsewhere

[olive saddle]

I’m trying to understand what that means

[radiant flame]

you didn't watch a video?

[solemn sapphire]

watch a video before raiding please

[flat dagger]

2/3 locations will have 3 orbs to block, you go to one of them as flex and grab the last one. The black orbs should be called by other people for each location.

[radiant flame]

some of these mechs are incredibly hard to explain by text

[spring thorn]

does it matter what server i choose in NA West

[flat dagger]

And this is not one of them.

[sour flower]

help give me pheons

[trail hawk]

not at all, but ppl in this time dont know analog clock

[flat dagger]

We better start refering to 18:00 as 180° instead, if they don't know that then what do we do?

[radiant flame]

right, i mean i don't know what the specific problem was though. if he was having trouble understanding what the entire mech was, it's hard to explain the whole thing. i think a video explains the mech a lot easier, no?

[flat dagger]

It depends on how good you are at actually explaining the mechanic, most of them aren't that complex.

[trail hawk]

see, analog clock only goes to 12...

[radiant flame]

anyway, i'll give this a go. at 68 bars, vykas does a mech where she will teleport to the middle and you will see 3 vykas shadows approximately at the 11, 5 and 7 oclock positions. each will pulse 5 times - red or black. the pulses correspond to 5 balls that each shadow will then spit towards the middle vykas. you will need to block the black balls, and each player can typically only block a single black ball. all the balls look black so you need to remember from the pulses which one is which. taking a red ball is fatal, as is taking a second black ball. each player will typically call out a clock position (11) and a number for the ball they take (e.g. 11-2 - second black ball at 11 oclock)

someone will typically type the number of the black pulses at each position when they scout it out (11 - 235 etc)

[empty zealot]

Hey quick question does it matter what lvl i roll my gems to? should i be rolling to 9 or 6? (Bard)

[trail hawk]

higher gems need more silver to roll..

[radiant flame]

2 of the positions will have 3 black balls, 1 will have 2. there will be two players "spare", who will work together to block the third ball at the two clock positions which need it

[trail hawk]

why would you delete it? all cards you get after you have it 5 stars, are converted into card xp

[autumn knoll]

could someone eli5 which exploit was the pheon giveaway is about

[rose jewel]

there was no exploit, enjoy the fire

[empty zealot]

wait sorry i mean fuse

[trail hawk]

fusing to lvl 7 is most efficient

[radiant flame]

if you are asked to be "11 spare", that means you start at 11, you stay there if there are three balls and you take the third one (e.g. if it was 11 235, you take the 5th ball). if there are only 2 black balls at 11, you go to either 7 or 5 which requires it and where the other spare player isn't

right, i think i did that justice, but i think a video does it better :/

[radiant flame]

on bard you should do 7, as most of your gems are CD, and CD gems don't get as much benefit going to 10

[spring thorn]

does it matter what server i choose ?

[radiant flame]

obviously higher is still better, but i would have all gems at 7 before thinking about 9s

[shy chasm]

On what region?

[rose jewel]

pick a populated server, mari is one of them

[flat dagger]

No kidding that it deleted all awakening levels and the card.

[cunning onyx]

can some one help me in chaos dungeon t2? im in eu evergrace

[trail hawk]

do it solo...

[rose jewel]

chaos dungeon is content you should solo

monster's hp scale depending on number of players

if you're having a bad time, you should be looking for a chaos dungeon skill build, depending on your class

[rose jewel]

also remember to level up your skills, you can freely level them up and down whenever

[maiden locust]

Classic

[rose jewel]

and the question here is?

[trail hawk]

they didnt say they fixed that...

[spring thorn]

either NA east or west

[spring thorn]

i want a populated server

[rose jewel]

east is a bit more populated and has a bit more stable economy

get the east role and ask in the region chat which server is more populated

unless you treat bots as people, in which case welcome to west

[spring thorn]

will do thanks

[rose jewel]

yeah, a bit, because our blues may be higher, but our market also sells everything "overpriced" compared to east

[fading pike]

Hi I did the Bervers Friend quest for the first time ever on my only character and did not recieve the punika pass, checked my mail my inverntory and everything else

Super confused

[rose jewel]

thing expired

[trail hawk]

the patch is next week not in 2 days?

[rose jewel]

the patch is in 2 days

[fading pike]

Ohh the event quest said I have 2 more days so I was wondering what happened

[rose jewel]

that's not for the pass, that's for the express duration

yeah they dont do the best job at explaining things

[fading pike]

Ahh okay okay, well too bad I started playing late, thanks anyway for the help!

[rose jewel]

take advantage of the 2 days for the express

it gives you quite some mats to upgrade, then in 2 days you can boost an alt up to 1445 ezpz

[fading pike]

Okay got it! Thanks a lot for the advice 🙂

[radiant flame]

think the hyper express gives gold

[ripe sedge]

Question, guys... Do we lose guardian souls if we DC during guardian fights?

[solemn sapphire]

what class can use this

[olive saddle]

Hi when do I receive my compensation?

[flat dagger]

A lot of them.

[glossy swallow]

Many.
Mayhem berserker or lc sharpshooter for example

For sure some of fist bros/sisters which all look the same for me

[ripe sedge]

I need to know about DC and guardian souls before I do any guardians today. They're all maxed rested bonus on all my chars.

[flat dagger]

IF the guardian is defeated, you would lose on DC yes.

[ripe sedge]

Need a bit of clarification. If guardian dies but someone is still there (not leave the map) and I log back in, can I still get soul?

[flat dagger]

Fairly sure that's a no, but if you come back during the kill then you can still get the souls.

[ripe sedge]

Okay, just checking cuz I've been hearing DC's are even worse today than before

[flat dagger]

Who's been playing at all today? Maintenance all day

[ripe sedge]

Space time distortions, my friend.

[flint magnet]

how do you guys purchase your blue crystals Im having a hard time doing the math if I should spend my gold or buy royal crystals..

[bronze epoch]

Hey guys i have an honest question, should i restart at the EUC Server for the Server popularity or should i stay at EUW? Im planing to start a new charakter but dont know if i should start it on EUW or EUC because on EUW my Roster lvl is 51 and i dont wanna start all over again..
I would appreciate an answer :)

ty <3

[solar knoll]

which type of "currency" is shared with roster and which is character bound?

[flat dagger]

Honing Shards is character bound, everything else is roster.

[solar knoll]

pirate coins are also shared?

[flat dagger]

Yes.

[glossy swallow]

Ye

[solar knoll]

what the heck why is there no ingame indication of which ones are which? xd

[flat dagger]

[rose jewel]

because smilegate

[glossy swallow]

I mean you can buy account wide stuff with pirate coins(like masterpieces), and you cannot do anything like that with shards.

So it's quite obvious in this field what's shares what's character's bound

[solar knoll]

only for someone who actually is familiar with the mechanics

I don't have the experience to tell for sure, all I have is this window which really doesn't tell me shit

especially since pirate coins are grouped up with the shards, I assumed they would too be character bound

[glossy swallow]

Content currency is quite a bait true.
Pirate coins should be in basic currency, and then it should be easier to check

[solar knoll]

ah

[hardy hedge]

vern ones

[trail hawk]

when reaper comes youll be able to get another punika pass

[hardy hedge]

thats only if they fully cleared punika

and yes vern story

[rose jewel]

that would be bad game design

[hardy hedge]

its an event powerpass

as long as u finished berver's friend quest u get it during event period

[olive saddle]

How to get my free compensation reward?

[silver rain]

havent issued one yet

[olive saddle]

Ok

[silver rain]

missed 60 pheons

[thin token]

yea i missed 110 lol

[solar knoll]

what should I do with all my extra character bound T1 upgrade mats? is there any point whatsoever in going past +15 on T1?

like at what point does it transfer to T2 +2? if ever?

[silver rain]

just vendor it

going past +15 on T1/2 with honing buff we have is totally not worth.

[solar knoll]

but vendoring it isn't worth either, it sells for pennies

[nimble gorge]

just got first leg pet, and Im not sure which skill could be the most useful, what do ppl usually take?

[solar knoll]

doesn't any honing level on T1 ever transfer into higher than +1 for T2?

because if it does I might as well just dump the bound stuff on one of the items to save one honing level at T2

[silver rain]

so you have to choices. selling it for a few silver and just have it sit doing nothing in your inventory

[solar knoll]

or hone a T1 item past +15?

why is that not a better choice than doing basically nothing with it?

[silver rain]

+16 should be +2 for T2 gear but it uses gold

[solar knoll]

no +16 is also +1 for T2

but something higher is possibly +2

[silver rain]

then you need to +17 then absolutely not worth

[solar knoll]

ah ok

btw does gear xp transfer over?

or does that get reset to 0?

[silver rain]

different tier different mats nope

[serene ridge]

During Showdown in Clown G3; after he starts spinning in the middle. We sometime have one player that gets the thingy where he shoots out 4 laser in each direction, even though he isn't above 50% and (from what we can tell) doesn't get hit by anything. We also have Inanna up at that point. Does someone else have this happen to them and is there a way to avoid it?

[olive sluice]

What is the average cost in mats and gold to hone from 1370-1415? Having all stronghold buffs

[silver rain]

since he has covid (thats what we call it in our pt same as puke aura) he was at somepoint above 50 but inanna reduces it back. he might got hit by some of the balls

[rose jewel]

maxroll honing calc will give you the numbers

[knotty patio]

Any Destroyer GigaChads in here that can help me with ideal stat splits? Running full crit with swift on neck but curious about including spec and what not.

[pale epoch]

if i hone my tier 3 gear to level 5 and then transfer it to another tier 3 gear is that new gear going to be lvl 5

[radiant flame]

Also inanna doesn’t stop gauge gain altogether. It will just reduce it. Sounds like he probably still got hit by something?

[olive sluice]

ok tnx

[silver rain]

if they run together during the bomb pointing cone thingy there's chance you get hit by the falling bombs/balls

[solar knoll]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator

[outer mason]

yeah it transfers your +5

[runic tundra]

do knowledge transfer give eq ?

[trail hawk]

no

[runic tundra]

so knowledge transfer is just finishing our main quest >

is this correct ? only main quest is finished , the other stays same

[trail hawk]

it finishes the conitinet if you have done it before

[rose jewel]

the only KT that gives eq is vern KT

[grim socket]

can my 8/5 stone get me 4x3?

[runic tundra]

what is reclear meaning ? the terms that used on party find

[trail hawk]

that you already cleared it at least once

so if its your first time doing that aby/raid its not exactly for you

[maiden locust]

only if you have 2 leg engravings

[merry reef]

hes looking for a 4x3

and it shouldnt be an issue with relic items

[runic tundra]

i want to know if people offer a free bus on normal vykas

[maiden locust]

o shit

sorry

[merry reef]

the only people who would offer free bus for anything are usually people practicing it

[merry reef]

pretty sure youre the 2nd one to post this pic to answer him haha

[grim socket]

should i even go for 4x3

or do i go 5x3?

[trail hawk]

those are really really rare. look for/make a learning party

[merry reef]

5x3 is much much more exxpensive usually depending on class

[shut pasture]

5x3 would be much more expensive, but you could go 4x3 and work towards 5x3

Take it step by step, don't try and "skip"

[merry reef]

what class are you playing?

[grim socket]

so i should keep my stone that is 8/5

soulfist

[shut pasture]

Yes keep the stone

[merry reef]

EO?

[grim socket]

robust

[runic tundra]

tomorrow is reset and i got no gold to pay for both valtan and vykas bus , fk me

[buoyant herald]

just run them

[merry reef]

Ah, I guess u should look then at accs prices. idk how expensive it is to build robust. if you were playing EO I woould for sure just keep the stone cuz its cheap to build

[grim socket]

my stone is cheap

[merry reef]

Pheons arent haha

[charred sorrel]

anyone else having dc issues?

[merry reef]

Really just need to check market for the accessory prices for accs that work with your stone then decide if u wanna gamble. personally even if I want to build a 4x3 I check for 5x3 prices more or less and if it gets too expensive with my stone I gamble for a better one. but its all luck after all.

[runic tundra]

what is exp bus meaning

[merry reef]

check what it would cost to build 5x3 with this stone vs a 7/7 for example and it will help you decide imo, not sure it will be worth to gamble higher one with an 8/5 but im just putting it out there, its usually how I go about it

[buoyant herald]

means bussers are experiecned

[timber mauve]

You’re more than welcome to skip to 5x3 with the power of

[buoyant herald]

4x3 shouldnt be more than like 50k if you buy accs that would also work for a 5x3 build
5x3 is gonna be at least like 300-400k just because you have to buy a legendary engraving

[eternal barn]

anyone mind answering a pleb question?

[rose jewel]

just throw the question

[eternal barn]

for albion when he does the star thing

can multiple people be in 1 circle?

[rose jewel]

nope

[buoyant herald]

no

[eternal barn]

ah alright tyvm for clarifying c:!

[rose jewel]

there are sometimes weird interaction where people will survive, but that's unintended

[minor crown]

you can cheese Albion like this too https://streamable.com/h5mlq5

[rose jewel]

that's for stars?

interesting

never noticed is has an area, so never thought of going out of it

[minor crown]

yeah but everyone has to be alive and stand on it otherwise it would not work

[shut canopy]

so i have came back to the game for the first time since launch. guardian raids for 802+ (t2) do we solo? currently about 20 min in queue

[minor crown]

no one play in t1-t2 anymore

[shut canopy]

so does that mean i cant grind the currency to get to t3?

[minor crown]

you can get them from chaos dg, event vendor, tower, island

[shut canopy]

but i wont be able to get abyssal and guardian done weekly/daily?

[ashen kindle]

Guys what happen about the pheons? Did they decide to just go for it? Or they it back?

[shy chasm]

Go to party finder and make a group and ask for carry

[thin token]

those who open mail during that window will keep pheons, those who were not on the game around that time (like me) RIPBOZO

[grim socket]

how do i buy accs to i can use it for 5x3 build later with my 8/5 stone

[ashen kindle]

They’re eating their on words omg

[shy chasm]

People do the abyssal for leg card so you'll mostly find someone whose overgeared doing it

[minor crown]

my name holder alt still have it

[thin token]

make a plan for 5x3 first then make another plan for 4x3 with using as many of acessory u have plan for 5x3 as u can. Most of the time will only be like 2-3 acessories that u can use for both

[ashen kindle]

And they will give compensation for the maintenance 🤡

[dire lion]

when i try to use my deleted character name it says name in use but i just deleted the character

[rose jewel]

was the char lv11+

[buoyant herald]

8 6 is not enough unless you get 2 legendary books 🙃 so you gonna want 7 7 or better anyway and what sofadded said

[rose jewel]

5x3 is quite expensive :3 gotta get a good rock first

[dire lion]

1370, it takes 24h to delete and 24h already has passed

[buoyant herald]

5x3 is hella expensive esp the fisrt time
gets easier if you alr have a combat engraving that works for many classes

[rose jewel]

if a character is level 11 or higher, the name gets locked for 60 days

[dire lion]

nice

[rose jewel]

:3

[dire lion]

thnx for the info though

[dense hare]

guys, Ive got a friend that has payed for the bern pass so he is lvl 51 with his first character now, and we have seen that he has not avalible the housing song, how can we fix it?

[wet dagger]

anyone know where harmony shards go? like they arnt in inventory so trying to figure out which tab i can find them in

[pseudo atlas]

they're a currency, check your currencies at the top left

[wet dagger]

oh ty i see it

if i have both bound and tradeable stone fragmetns, when i hone my gear does it auto consume the bound ones first? or do i have to pick ?

[pseudo atlas]

bound first, it says so on the bound items

[pseudo atlas]

you need to go to luterra and do the stronghold quest, it's either in his guide quests or just somewhere in luterra castle

the quest is called [guide] clerk theo's invitation

[wild sinew]

why the busses for Vykas always go NHH?

[thin token]

they do normal for gate 1 and then hard for last 2 gates

[wild sinew]

why?

[buoyant herald]

cant ts failed mechs in g1 in hm
and cant do them without full pt

[humble haven]

You can't TS a mech in Hard vs Normal, is my understanding

[wild sinew]

sorry but what does TS mean?

[buoyant herald]

timestop

[pseudo atlas]

basically gate 1 in hm is not carryable

you need like 6 people to do it i think

[buoyant herald]

nah you need 8 cuz of stagger
cant miss any orbs

[humble haven]

Oh, gotcha

[thick ermine]

To aim at crafting a 9/7 using this tool : https://lostark.meta-game.gg/ability-stone-calculator
Should I select row 1 >= 9 and row 2 >= 7? I tried once and it seemed off and made me click halfway row 1 when chances were 25%

[buoyant herald]

depends how it went if you had any fails ofc it did

[pseudo atlas]

when the stone you aim for becomes impossible it will just tell you to hit the nodes from top to bottom

[thick ermine]

It was going well ... then it went downhill rq

but the initial settings are correct then and I should stick to it right ?

[buoyant herald]

well you are going for a 9 7 it goes down hill real fast

[thick ermine]

its not best to do 7/7 on the settings for best outputs

[pseudo atlas]

yeah you do first one >=9 second one >=7

[thick ermine]

Ok thank you !

[pseudo atlas]

and then when you fail the first two taps in a row on the 9 node you cry and change it to something maybe usable if that's even possible

[thick ermine]

I currently have a 7/6 so not sure if I should try to get a 9/7 or just try a 7/7 or a a 8/6 before attempting to get a 9/7

[buoyant herald]

9 7 is a pipe dream for most players unless you got a mil or 2 sitting forget about it and at least get a 7 7

[pseudo atlas]

you could start with a 9/7 aim and if it fails change the goal to 7/7, not sure how that affects the odds of ending up with a 7/7 though

[subtle helm]

If you have to ask then you shouldn't be trying for a 9/7

[pseudo atlas]

what's the odds of 9/7 anyway, like <1%?

[pseudo atlas]

oh <0.1%, nice

[buoyant herald]

yeah

[thick ermine]

why? I cant ask if it is better to go straight to 9/7 attempts from a 7/6 or get one in the middle?

[subtle helm]

Because the calculator will make suboptimal choices in pursuit of 9/7 that makes 7/7 more unlikely

[buoyant herald]

ofc any stone is a potential 9 7 but i wouldnt get my hopes up

[thick ermine]

I wanted to make sure I was setting the calculator right, I understand that changing targeted odds halfway would not be optimal ...

[thick ermine]

Yeah I saw some ppl cutting hundreds of stone and nothing so

[subtle helm]

Regardless, 9/7 is not something you "aim" for, it's something you luck into

There are KR mains who've played characters since launch that don't have a 9/7

[pseudo atlas]

yes the settings themselves were fine

[buoyant herald]

even a 7 7 can take like 100 stones XD just forget about the 9 7 trust me

you have better odds 1 tapping a 25 wep than a 9 7 XD

[pseudo atlas]

when something like this happens it just defaults to recommending the top option forever

same thing i do when i fail the 60th 7/7 facet in a row

[brave rapids]

I got a 9/7 in my first 5 stones trying to get a 7/7. My pattern recogonition is just on point xddd ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pseudo atlas]

sure

[buoyant herald]

some ppl just never struggle

[brave rapids]

People who don't use reddit are just gonna flame me for that LOL

[zealous patio]

how much of a dps increase are most classes gonan be getting going from level 3 tripods to level 4 tripods? like 5%?

[terse sphinx]

is someone kind enough to send me a screenshot of the player interaction menu real quick? like the thing when u ctrl+right click on another player

and it opens up a dropdown menu for duel, trading, whispering etc...

im not ingame rn, need a pic of that real quick tho

[subtle helm]

Depends on the tripod, you can check the damage values and calculate it

[high stone]

Does the tripods in your inventory become amulets?

[subtle helm]

you mean on broken gear? no they remain as broken gear

[terse sphinx]

yeah like this, but need it in open world with alll options

[high stone]

Oh so they become useless?

[subtle helm]

No they stay the same, after the update instead of transfering them onto a slot on your gear you just transfer them straight into your 'tripod library", and the chances are double what they currently are

[high stone]

Oh can you still sell it?

[subtle helm]

I assume so yes

[terse sphinx]

thank you 🙂

[high stone]

Ah okey thanks

[chrome brook]

Yeah since you cant reach the goal anymore.

[cloud pendant]

I haven’t logged in the game after the maintenance yesterday. Did the pheons get negative?

[hot ridge]

Hi im a newby and i'm curious of what build is better between emperor and empress for arcanist.. is it just difference of play style? or is there recommended build?

[thin token]

there is arcanist channel with google doc guide for both class engravings https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MWWgdrTIJBj0WXmAqE4DspVobgMlDx4aaI7ZwCj1-AM/edit#heading=h.or8fmt4id5yh this

[hot ridge]

thank you so much!

[thin token]

as for playstyle i play order of emporeor and its spam playstyle, idk about the other one i not palyed it

[sick thunder]

with empress you stack 4 cards on the boss and use one of your red abilities

[hot ridge]

I probably sound dumb but I rlly don't know what the cards do.. like I know the cards that shows up at the bottom but don't know the card stacks..

may I ask what and how the card stacks appears?

[thin token]

card stacks are from your blue skills basically hit with blue skills (stacking skills) until boss turns purple and then u use one of ur red skills (ruin skills) to pop stacks for dmg

arcana has yellow (normal skills), blue (stacking skills) , red (ruin skills)

[hot ridge]

Oooo I see! That's really cool.. English is not my first language so I was having a hard time searching. Thank you for the kind reply. Now I finally understand the mechanism😭😭

[thin token]

yea it was hard for me to realize that too cuz i dont think they explain that anywhere in game

[fiery zinc]

what are the 3 best honor shard dailies, for speed and amount?

[subtle helm]

Most people I know do Fesnar Highland horse bandits and the 2 runaway island Unas

Some servers have a heavy bot infestation on Fesnar, Punika cleansing is an alternative

[shut canopy]

when upgrading 840 gear do i need to get the purple abyssal set or can i jus upgrade the blue set to get to the next tier?

or if there is a link to a guide that specific, that would be even better xD

[subtle helm]

You can upgrade the blue chaos gear all the way to 1100 to hit t3 yes

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/gear-honing-system here's a pretty indepth honing guide if you want some reading

[devout cape]

When do I get my first free power pass?

[solar knoll]

how does it work with selling stuff on the market for 1 gold?

is the deposit reimbursed or is it literally just selling stuff for 0 profit?

[subtle helm]

When you complete vern for the first time, you get 2 passes i believe

[subtle helm]

You don't get taxed for selling stuff for 1g

[solar knoll]

oh shit nice

so it's only selling stuff for 2g that's completely unnecessary? as you'd get the same profit selling it for 1g?

[subtle helm]

Yup, exactly as you say

[solar knoll]

ah nice nice

[remote crescent]

anyone know which class would benefit a lot from a level 9 cd gem the most? will reroll it. i've got a shadowhunter, deathblade, and machinist. right now thinking demonic cooldown, but maybe DB has some important skills as well like maelstrom?

[rose jewel]

first and only 2 permanent ones are from finishing north vern, lv50 and 302 item level, next week we have an EVENT pass up to punika, lv50 1302 item level, but you first mush finish punika and a series of purple quests there

[subtle helm]

If it's a surge DB I don't think CD gems help much since you're going rotation to rotation every surge activation anyway. SH maybe you can fit 3 Leaping blows in 1 transformation with a lv 9 gem? test it in Trixion. Machinist no idea

[solar knoll]

you only get 1 pass from north vern

[pseudo atlas]

you get two from vern

[subtle helm]

When you log onto your second character, the game sends you the 2nd pass

[pseudo atlas]

2nd one is a reward for using the first one

[rose jewel]

you get 2 from vern

[solar knoll]

ohhhhhhhh

[subtle helm]

Honestly only example I know that a CD gem beyond 7 is 'worth' it is double DD for ignition sorcs, i would honestly just sell a lv9 CD gem and buy something more useful

[remote crescent]

thanks i would definitely rather pref a level 9 dmg gem but it's probably pretty hard to trade

but losing tax hurts

[subtle helm]

Make friends with chad support mains

[devout cape]

Eeesh more questing. This crap is brutal.

[rose jewel]

imagine playing the game

[olive saddle]

When will I get my compensation?

[merry reef]

Trying to find a cheap alt to make for the pass, you guys think GS is expensive? dont really know anything about it except that ill probably go Peacemaker

[subtle helm]

Cheapest alt will always be a support.

For GS, TTH would be cheaper than Peacemaker, and quite a bit easier to play

But honestly neither are that good options unless you already have Grudge 12 to help with their builds

[solar knoll]

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this completely useless?

so they just forgot to remove it from the game when they changed T1 honing success rates or something?

[fair mantle]

I don't think it's supposed to be removed anyways

[solar knoll]

but it has no actual use at all since honing T1 to level 15 is already 100% guaranteed success?

[rose jewel]

save it as a souvenir

[solar knoll]

xd

[devout cape]

How long to get to punikas after lvl 50?

[fair mantle]

Depends on what you're doing after 50 and how efficient you are

[devout cape]

Guess just doing the main quest?

[fair mantle]

You have to hone to a specific threshold to do the main quest after 50 so that's the main problem

[subtle helm]

The bottleneck from lv 50 to punika is farming and honing, not questing

If I started a new acnt now, and did it with the knowledge i had, probably 2 weeks?

[solar knoll]

there isn't really much of a honing bottleneck while the harvest festival is running

you can just buy all the mats from the event vendor

[fair mantle]

Harvest festival

Well it's better to save those event mats for tier 3

[subtle helm]

Event vendors are hard to clear when you're playing a single character

[fair mantle]

So it's better to squeeze out other sources

[rose jewel]

besides island's speedrun exists

[solar knoll]

yeah fair point I guess, they give good amount of T3 mats

[long elk]

why when i tried apply a custom at creation and it says "invalid"?

[solar knoll]

but for your first character they give you so much free stuff anyway, I just took my providence set to +15 the moment I got it

[fair mantle]

It might be a Korean preset

[long elk]

yeah its

[subtle helm]

Is it a Korean preset? you gotta convert it

[fair mantle]

You have to change it to the Western one

[long elk]

how

[fair mantle]

Also even if you do you might turn out with something totally different since their base faces are different

[subtle helm]

[ancient turret]

what's 1-2 medusa in vykas? i thought there's only 1 or 2 not 1-1 1-2 or 2-2

[brave rapids]

what do you guys typically spend on gearing an alt, not including Pheons price? do you go the full 5x3? 4x3+1/2?

[rose jewel]

wings spread

[ancient turret]

min 0 max 2 so what's 1-2 mean?

[subtle helm]

Hard mode medusa has 2 waves, you need up to 4 players to clear the mech. 1-2 means 1st wave, 2 wings look.

[rose jewel]

1-1 first medusa 1 wing, 1-2 first medusa 2nd wing

2-1 second medusa 1 wing etc

that is only for hard mode, since normal you just look away

[fair mantle]

Full 5x3, if it's something with expensive class books then 4x3+2 and slowly buy books to transition into 5x3

[subtle helm]

Depends where the alt is parked. Up to Valtan Hard I wouldn't go past 4x3, and then make a single transition to 5x3 for vykas hard/clown

[rose jewel]

and since i think you didnt fully get it, example: Medusa starts, vykas spreads both wings, both 1-1 and 1-2 will look at her, both get stoned, then the second medusa starts, but she only spreads 1 wing, 2-1 will look and 2-2 WONT look

[ancient turret]

oh i get it, ty

[brave rapids]

how much are you spending on like non-class engraved accessories? im trying to find cheap combos of engravings, but im still looking at like 40k per accessory for some meta builds. im on NA-E btw.

[rose jewel]

that entirely depends on what engravings, what stat and what quality, there is no definitive answer there

[pallid panther]

Leap essence actually helps farming word tree leaf's ? or its bad

[rose jewel]

people claim it does, i have no proof

[brave rapids]

just wondering what everyone's spending overall on an alt. is it normal to be spending around 200k on an alt?

[rose jewel]

my alts are 4x3 with leggo accesories until i cut a 7/7 stone

[pallid panther]

In theory it wouldnt cause you use less energy going normal but i dont know, just a feeling that i got more times i was using

[frail verge]

Quick Question

Tripods on Broken Armor will stay, does this include also the broken armor you already got in your bags/storage or will they also get deleted and you have to farm them again?

[pallid panther]

btw i just said that and minimized and got one lol

[rose jewel]

rng being rng

broken armor should stay with its tripods, you can use them after the update with double the chance, but im not 100% sure, i THINk i read that

[frail verge]

so buy now lvl4 tripods but use them after the update?

[rose jewel]

no, check #info-dump

[brave rapids]

There's no proof behind this, but I've been told that World Tree Leaves and Platinum Fields Tickets drop rate is based on how much life energy you use per action, so in theory Excavation has the highest chance of giving you either. Leap's Essence doubles your life energy usage, so if we're following this rule, it should double your chances of getting Leaves as well. Again, no proof, just something like 2 people told me.

[pallid panther]

I feel like it helps, i just got two under 3k energy on mining

I just need to get those 48

[brave rapids]

I've been getting absolutely starved for Plat Fields Tickets recently, both with and without Leaps Essence, so I'm feeling kinda let down by the rule, if it's real.

[nimble gorge]

where do you get the pvp medal from for special equiptment?

[forest hawk]

NA server came back?

[brave rapids]

im on NAE right now

[forest hawk]

thx

I downloaded a preset, but how to use it? because I don't have the item to change skin, do you have to?

[rose jewel]

it came back like... 12hrs ago 😄

[forest hawk]

idk, thx

[brave rapids]

If it's on an already existing character, then yeah you need to buy a skin change ticket or whatever. You can use a preset on a fresh new character though if you want for free.

[rose jewel]

just saying, check server status

https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/support/server-status

[forest hawk]

thx @rose jewel @brave rapids

[brave rapids]

also, here's how you use presets: #presets message

[fair mantle]

Totally depends on the class

My 5x3s cost as low as 75k and as high as 350k (including books)

[robust shard]

anyone here not too busy to carry for Tytalos?

[warm acorn]

can I use tradeable skins I bought from the auction house with different alts without losing the trade counter?

[fair mantle]

As long as it's the same class

[warm acorn]

sweet, thanks

[fair mantle]

That is assassin etc

[fair mantle]

I can, gimme a couple mins

[robust shard]

I think I found someone, i'll let you know if it doesnt happen. Thank you tho!

[warm acorn]

what about that sweater from the pet shop? or is that character bound?

[fair mantle]

Not too sure about that one specifically but should be roster

[warm acorn]

I tried it. Works on the selected class you first used with only

[errant root]

what's the order of "foe level" like there are challenge, named, boss etc. and I'm not sure which is which and where I encounter what. like raids are mostly bosses that's obvious but what are all the mobs in chaos dungeons etc.
I know the "jungle" tripods are good for chaos but I also see tripods that say "named and higher"

[gloomy cypress]

if i recraft a piece of armor and gear transfer it will the set gear bonus from clown horns also transfer?

i tried gear transfering and it didnt

[pseudo atlas]

iirc people said you dismantle the old piece and that gives back the horns

probably wait for better confirmation

[gloomy cypress]

yea i dismantled and got 10 horns back

[main hearth]

question regarding destroyer tripod.... One man army skill is being changed... if i put 2 of the same tripod at +4 on 2 diff pc... will i get 2 free exchange? or just 1 since its the same tripod

[scarlet oxide]

Hi is it recommended to exchange/convert my purpies to lego maps?

[crisp turtle]

depends on your server/your prices
blue-purple is about the same, i doubt its good to convert legendary
but you'd have to check your own server prices

[scarlet oxide]

this my server prices

[crisp turtle]

wtf are those shard prices, jesus
it depends if it takes 3 purple or 4 for a legendary, i dont remember
but its probably worth if it takes 3, probably not for 4

[olive saddle]

Hi when do I get my compensation?

[scarlet oxide]

imma check

oof 3 for 50% 4 for 75%

[crisp turtle]

dont exchange them then

[scarlet oxide]

[fair mantle]

I sold 100 shard bags at 750 a couple days ago

[crisp turtle]

450 on euc

[wet dagger]

i got to shushire after completing north vern quest lines for the first time and they keep referring me as some frost warrior and that ive been here before but i havent? was there a quest line I skipped somewhere?

[pseudo atlas]

what i really want to know is why the large bag sells for more than 3x the cost of the small bag while having the same contents as 3x small bags

[fair mantle]

Welcome to NA West

[polar shard]

When lost ark 2 launches

[pseudo atlas]

it's like that across the board though as far as i know

[crisp turtle]

math is hard

[fair mantle]

Large bags are usually the whale bait

[pseudo atlas]

math is hard...

[crisp turtle]

its the origins of the warrior class
you had a lil cutscene at the very beginning of the game, where all the warrior classes come from shushire

each class has its only special dialogue in different regions, based on their origin

[wet dagger]

so its not something i skipped over somewhere? besides the cutscene?

[last wolf]

what is the penalty for leaving a guardian raid

[pseudo atlas]

10 minute deserter buff that prohibits joining other grouped content

or maybe just guardian raids, can't remember

[wet dagger]

do ppl do the early guardian raid (like the first one) not sure if i should be queueing for tihs or just try to solo

[frail forge]

i see that the awakening skill has a number? does that mean it can run out forever? or can i refill it? i don't want to waste it

[rough prawn]

halp

[sonic mountain]

You need things called awakening shards to use your awakening skill

The number indicates how many shards you have left

You can buy more from the general merchant in the cities

[frail forge]

so should i use my awakening skill worry-free or are the shards expensive?

[sonic mountain]

Nah they cost almost nothing

[fair mantle]

They're cheap

[frail forge]

thanks alot guys ❤️

[sonic mountain]

It's like 250 silver per shard iirc

[wet dagger]

u think its possible to solo urnil and lumerus guardian raid with item levle 380?

[fair mantle]

You never buy it for silver

[fair mantle]

Just get someone to carry you

[wet dagger]

how i do that im in matchmaking queue and its been 1/4 for 10 mins lol

[sonic mountain]

Why not?

[fair mantle]

Because it's a big waste buying it with silver

[fair mantle]

You need to ask someone who's juiced to carry you

Either here or in game

[frail forge]

does doing side quests do anything? like if you finish some of them do you maybe get an achievement or anything?

[fair mantle]

Nope

[last wolf]

y cant i find marvelous gear set in north vern? or do i have to travel back to yorn

[wet dagger]

you know where i ask someone here? how i know if theyt are in the same server etc

[last wolf]

north vern karleesa can only craft tier 1 and 3 :(((

[frail forge]

dang that's lame

[fair mantle]

Ask in #lost-ark-discussions or the channel of your server or area chat

[jade gale]

You too huh

[rough prawn]

ya, im dming roxy my ip address now haha

[jade gale]

Bruh

But who's roxy

[crisp turtle]

Steam achievements? No
There are Ingame achievements linked to side quests, and doing them still rewards you with stuff

[rough prawn]

cm on the forums

[flat dagger]

Why is it a big waste to buy them with silver? I've got more silver available than I have gold, 29m to be specific.

[fair mantle]

I highly doubt that, it's 2.5 million silver to buy 10k vs 1000 gold

I think you'vr played the game enough to compare 2.5mil silver and 1k gold

[flat dagger]

Yea, it might be a bit more efficient if you're short on both, but 2.5m silver won't get me any pheons.

[rough prawn]

I also buy with gold

Since im 100k silver

[flat dagger]

And I'm on the opposite end, tons of silver and low amounts of gold due to gearing up characters with accessories.

[frail forge]

ah thanks

[fair mantle]

Neither will 1k gold

I think 2.5m silver vs 1k gold is a no brainer

[jade gale]

Have they responded yet?

[rough prawn]

no

I think im just going to reinstall

i tried fixing/reinstalling eac and it donest work

[merry reef]

Do I need to do anything to get rest bonus on a new char? Do i just create it and leave it or do I need to go into trixion

[jade gale]

Can you let me know if that works?

[flat dagger]

Simply creating it and not even selecting the class is enough.

[vital quartz]

What time is daily and weekly reset?

[radiant flame]

daily is in 3 hours 12 minutes

weekly is in 1 day 3 hours 12 minutes

[vital quartz]

thank you!

[rough prawn]

Sure ill ping ya

[balmy tendon]

Will guardian/destruct stones be convertible after brel?

[radiant flame]

yes, 5:1 to higher stones

[hushed sleet]

did they give legendary engraving box with the scouter hyper pass?

[radiant flame]

no, but it was a different pass

[elfin field]

if i save all 8 tripods from one man army (destroyer skill thats getting deleted) will i get 8 talismans?

[rose jewel]

i bet people who play in kr knows, probably, get the kr role

[elfin field]

aight

[balmy oxide]

hey, there's an rapport event with Nia that requires 420 Kindness. Do I need to complete that event to clear Nia's rapport?

[elfin field]

nope

[last wolf]

For the tier 2 materials route in maxroll, what ship should we be using? I've completed world quest yorn and have 3 ship options rn

[radiant flame]

Estoque should still be fine. I would upgrade it to 5

Estoque is generally your best all rounder

[last wolf]

o damn its still lvl 2.

[radiant flame]

I still use it

[fair mantle]

Ship is not a problem rlly tbh

[rain meadow]

Im weird and have a lv7 tragon

[strange cliff]

my GL is not going to be 1415 by tomorrow, is it still worth it to buy +3's for around 30g?

[charred notch]

i've already repaired EAC, and verified integrity of game files in steam. WTF do i need to do now????

[fair mantle]

Not at all, wasting pheons

[fair mantle]

It's a server issue not from your end

[charred notch]

oh

[strange cliff]

new system wont cost more than 5* to get +3?

[charred notch]

i thought it was on my end

[fair mantle]

Wdym? You would just buy a +4

You're taking about tripods right

[strange cliff]

yeah

[fair mantle]

So get a +4, buying +3s is just wasting pheons

[elfin field]

he doesnt have his char at 1415, he cant buy +4

[strange cliff]

yeah ^^

[fair mantle]

Oh I thought he said it's going to be I misread

Umm if you really want to you can get the important 6 +3s but I wouldn't bother personally

[strange cliff]

oh alr then, thank you

[brave rapids]

Is a 9/5 stone viable for 5x3+2 in Ancients? Why do I see some KR streamers go for 9/5?

[fair mantle]

It's the same as a 7/7, can't do 5x3+2 tho

[brave rapids]

Ah. 5x3+1 can be done with a 7/7 (or 9/5) + Ancients right?

[fair mantle]

Yeah but a 9/5 is better with ancients than a 7/7

[brave rapids]

👍

[viral kettle]

7/7 stone, same as 9/5 stone has 14 points of engravings.

Currently our relic accessories can roll up to +5/+3 - which in case of 7/7 stones means you go 7+5+3 -> 15. No points wasted.
Ancient accessories can roll up to +6/+3 though - in case of 7/7 stone this is a point wasted no matter what. 7+6+3 is 16.
Thats why people roll 9/5 stone - that way you can combine +9+6 for 15 points, and +5 stays as lv1 engraving of your choice (like adrenaline). Then from rest of the accessories you build your 5x3(+1 from stone).
Situation looks slightly if you roll a 9/6 or 9/7 stone. x/6 can be paired with +6+3 for full engraving, and x/7 in stone can be your lv2 engraving in setup of 5x3+2 (just adding those +3 from ancient acc). Though, only 9/7 stone provides 5x3+2.

[tulip copper]

Isnt accessories get char bound when you buy them? You cant buy acc for reaper before it got released right?

[fair mantle]

You can, you can just send them to an alt via mail

[tulip copper]

Why pay double pheons when you can just buy them with the class itself?

[fair mantle]

Because it's 10x the price when the class releases

[tulip copper]

Every acc needs to get like 6k+ more expensive for you to profit in such scenario

[paper glacier]

is there an archive/future update/balance patches for classes

[fair mantle]

With scouter it got around 20-30k more expensive

[fair mantle]

We're already getting the latest balance patch

[tulip copper]

Damn. The class will get gatekept in legion raids i will wait couple weeks to go for relic stuff

[paper glacier]

not the qeustion

u misunderstood

[fair mantle]

Future updates

[ashen kindle]

whos excited for tomorrow maintenance?

[thick ermine]

what are the recommended items to buy from the bloodstone shop ? Pure honing mats?

[paper glacier]

ME

[fair mantle]

Leaps, ticket box, solar mats box

[thick ermine]

Thanks

the rest seemed expensive

[sleek vale]

does anyone else know what the rough drop rate of captured tooki's tears is? and if they ever buffed it

[royal thistle]

I just reached T3, what do I need to do to be eligible for the punika powerpass?

[fair mantle]

There's no powerpass currently but for the one that's coming with the next patch you need to complete Bervers friend

[royal thistle]

How do I complete that?

[fair mantle]

https://lostarkcodex.com/us/quest/4530135/

It's in this quest chain

[royal thistle]

Do I need to complete the Punika quest line to get to it? or can I start it earlier?

[fair mantle]

I thought you said you were in t3, you need to have completed Punika in order to do that

[royal thistle]

Ah I meant I just got to 1100 gs and entered Punika

[gaunt python]

Anyone playing on NA server from korea? Can someone dm me if they do? I have a quick question.

[fair mantle]

Well yeah you need to, and tier 3 starts at 1302

[fair mantle]

#kr-lost-ark-discussions

[royal thistle]

Do I need to get to 1302 to get the boosT?

oh fuck

[fair mantle]

You just need to do Punika for it not much of an issue

[royal thistle]

How many mats and stuff do I need to get to 1302?

I wanna get to where I can get the powerpass cause I wanna main Destroyer instead of Glavier

[fair mantle]

Umm 0, you just need to do Punika

[royal thistle]

oh great

[fair mantle]

It's like tier 1 - 2

It works the same way

[royal thistle]

is Punika long asf or not that long

[ashen kindle]

guys can i trade the mats from mayhem marks on my alts?

[fair mantle]

As long as the others

[fair mantle]

If you haven't exhausted the roster limit yes

[royal thistle]

Oh okay

[ashen kindle]

okay thanks

will the coming hyper pass gives you buffs on honing? i ask some streamer and they says its almost guarantee the 1445

but when i check the rewards it only gives you like 360 GHL which is not enough

[fair mantle]

It has a 5% buff from 1415-1445 if we get the one from Korea but we don't know yet

[fair mantle]

The rewards aren't out yet

[royal thistle]

When is the punika pass being made available btw?

[fair mantle]

Wednesday after patch

[ashen kindle]

well i watch some vids in kr server when they received 1445 hyper pass streamers says its the same for us

when i checked the Mats its not even enough to get you 1430

[fair mantle]

Well what streamers say and what will actually happen we won't know until patch notes

[ashen kindle]

well this is nice

[ashen kindle]

yeaah when i see the mats im confused it only gives like 7k des stone and 360 GHL and bunch of orehas which is nice

[fair mantle]

You can wait for the patch notes then

[ashen kindle]

yeaah maybe they will release it later i hope

[fair mantle]

Probably in 8-10 hours

[flat dagger]

I hope everyone knows that today is the last day for saving tripods.

[royal thistle]

What is saving tripods?

[flat dagger]

Making sure they are saved in the tripod inventory system. Everything on your gear gets deleted.

[fair mantle]

Tripods are a system introduced in tier 3 and there's a huge update coming to them rn, unfortunately you won't have access to that since you aren't tier 3 yet

[royal thistle]

Ahh then alg

[flat dagger]

Big oof for you, but it is what it is. At least you'll experience 2x the learning chance.

[royal thistle]

Is it bad to not know?

[flat dagger]

Better off not knowing 🥲

[fair mantle]

Let's say it's a system which allows you to get almost a 50-100% dps increase but is rng based and requires investment but with the upcoming update you can get them for almost free

[vague wing]

Some good stuff will still cost gold

[flat dagger]

Nah, it's all pheon costs.

[turbid cobalt]

you really just avoid having to transfer lv 4s with this update, lv 3s are kinda free anyway from chaoses i think

so it shouldnt be considered that big of an upgrade i think, still good to do if possible obviously since its a one time thing

[fair mantle]

[vague wing]

But, basicly how will you be able to transfer tripods? Select the equipped gear you want the tripod on, select which tripod you want from inventory gear, and pray?

[flat dagger]

Even going 4->5 would be something like 10-15% increase of DPS.

[formal scarab]

do i have to complete all quests in N vern to get access to endgame stuff? or just get to last area asap?

[fair mantle]

[fair mantle]

Blue quests yes

[vague wing]

Damn, so I kinda have to gamble each tripod on my rs

[flat dagger]

With the current or new system?

[vague wing]

The new system that will come

[flat dagger]

New system works like engraving books, but with a % learning chance and has 3 choices per item.

[fair mantle]

Rng yeah but just better chances

[vague wing]

So. Let me get this straight. We won't drop items with tripods anymore?

[flat dagger]

You will, just like before.

[fair mantle]

You will, amulets in chaos dungeons

[vague wing]

💀 i don't get how tripods will work

[flat dagger]

Same as before, but 2x the learning chance and no inventory system anymore or saved on gear.

[vague wing]

Good stuff I am going rs. I have 15 secs time to drink water and check guides inbetween rotations

[fair mantle]

It's literally the same but you permanently learn them instead of a library

[vague wing]

Aaaaah I see

[flat dagger]

And you can hotswap them through skill presets as well.

[formal scarab]

i unlocked chaos dungeons and honing. any reason to continue to do all blue quests?

[vague wing]

Complete the story

[fair mantle]

Yes keep doing them, it'll take you to Shushire next, you also need to do the awakening quest

[barren cradle]

when I check under the rapport tap tehre is sometimes a little heart besides the NPCs, when I hover over it it says,"you can upgrade the rapport to the affection rank" what does the game wants to tell me?

[flat dagger]

That the NPC has an additional rapport rank after Trusted.

[barren cradle]

ah I see. thanks! 🙂

[pine agate]

need class rec, not too tripod dependent, does chaos dungeon fast, already have SH, scout, and like all the martial artists lol

[flat dagger]

Paladin.

[fair mantle]

Surge blade as well

[pine agate]

thx boyz 👌

[formal scarab]

i completed the purple quests from the board, why cant i continue?

[flat dagger]

Because you didn't complete it.

[formal scarab]

i did

[flat dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-deverin-washington-mayor-of-kingstown-no-way-not-gonna-happen-gif-24147648

[mild tapir]

LOL

[flat dagger]

I'm sure you completed some purple adventure quest that you thought was that one.

[silver rain]

^^ that purple quest if you read will actually tell you to continue your way to Fesnar and the NPC will be waiting there

[glossy swallow]

Does splendid whirlwind grenade deal more stagger?

[flat dagger]

If it did, don't you think we'd see more of them used? 😄

They just do 33% more damage.

[frail forge]

does anyone do raid world bosses anymore?

[mild tapir]

only the end game ones

[frail forge]

there is a tarsila next to me, should i just forget about them?

[silver rain]

more dmg +1 weak point yea dont they get more stagger out of it

[buoyant herald]

if there is no one there and you arent in tier 3 yes

[frail forge]

dang, aight

[formal scarab]

is there any guide that shows me what rewards to take from the pass?

[flat dagger]

Not that I know of, but you could always ask.

[formal scarab]

i mean, these are dozens of rewards which i have no idea what they do.

[flat dagger]

Like I said, you could always ask. It also depends on your situation for some of them. No point asking before you can pick the reward though.

[flat dagger]

All right rewards

[formal scarab]

the daily rewards arent usefull?

[buoyant herald]

not as usefull as the other stuff

[flat dagger]

Not really, or you get more stuff from the right comparatively.

[formal scarab]

and why honing over cards?

[flat dagger]

Because the % for legendary is ass with Normal-Legendary.

[frail forge]

i feel like breserker's cooldown's are way too long, will this get fixed as i upgrade my gear?? (i am gear level 270)

[buoyant herald]

yes

[flat dagger]

It will improve if you get more swiftness stats.

[buoyant herald]

swiftness and gems probably some tripods too

[frail forge]

haha got no clue what any of those are but thanks

[flat dagger]

You will later.

[buoyant herald]

dont worry about it for now

[ashen kindle]

Guys Is there a huge difference using legendary vs relic accessories? Aside from engravings

[flat dagger]

The combat stats are the important part, and yes they are quite noticable.

But going with ass quality won't give you much of a upgrade if any.

[ashen kindle]

So I better have 100 quality legendary than 50 quality relic? Cause the prices are too huge for relic

[flat dagger]

Relic accessories aren't inherently expensive, only in pheon cost.

[ashen kindle]

Ow okay thanks

[glossy swallow]

Many good relic accesories are in 300 gold price, as long as you know what you're looking for, and not aiming above 70 quality/5 engraves

[frail forge]

should i get out of my way to do dailys before finishing main quest?

[flat dagger]

Some more context please.

[glossy swallow]

Depends.
Which main quest you're on

Do you need more item level to unlock new daily content,

Does main quest prowide mats for it,

And how your rest bonus looks

[frail forge]

i am gear level 270 still doing the ark quest i think thats what it's called

my rest bonus is 100 xd, i haven't played in a while

[flat dagger]

Just keep doing the main quest until you're done with Shushire.

You'll get a set of 302 item level gear, which you can then use in the chaos dungeons and hone to improve your item level.

[glossy swallow]

Ark quest is impossible to end, 6/7 currently at 100 game completion at this patch.

And yeah, now you push quests to get items and start grinding daily stuff

[frail forge]

Alright, thanks alot ❤️

[tiny plinth]

I've been in queue for Igrexion guardian raid for 30+ minutes and even longer wait times on my alts when queueing earlier guardian raids. Is this a bug or is it dead content/lack of server population?

[flat dagger]

You're queuing in the very early morning, what do you expect?

[tiny plinth]

i've been on over 13 hours it was last night too

figured i could get a fast queue soon after daily reset but no luck 😦

[flat dagger]

And you're not in a 2-man party with the same class or 2x support?

[tiny plinth]

i have 0 friends that play this game lol

[flat dagger]

If it's truly that dead, look in party finder for help or other people.

[buoyant herald]

low lvl guardians are dead content everyone is doing yoho + at least

[formal scarab]

just unlocked chaos dungeons. im matchmaking for minutes and cant find single guy. only parties that are advertising real world trading BS>

what do I do?

[flat dagger]

No need for matchmaking on Chaos Dungeons.

[buoyant herald]

no one does chaos in parties just solo it

[formal scarab]

oh

[buoyant herald]

even on euc ~1pm rn lvl 5 guardians are dead

[maiden locust]

they're at work

[buoyant herald]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[maiden locust]

euc players are 20 to 25+

[tiny plinth]

my understanding is that the game seems to be dying then lmao

99% of people i've encountered since coming back are just huge groups of bots
