Will an event in illusion isle cancel if didnt reach the 1500 point goal?

There's only 1-2 ppl at a time. no one come.

[ripe sedge]

Its on 0% brightness cuz bright stuff in game hurts my eyes, like snow (snowpang / Shushine), sand areas in Punika, bright arena like Argos p1, etc

and don't get me started on Achates

[muted verge]

usually island events cancel if not enough people participate, apparently they changed this for some islands though

[echo owl]

you dont need the full 1500 but theres some minimum value required that i do not know about

[ripe sedge]

750 points for me a couple months ago was enough to trigger rewards

50% progress

[dim pebble]

tyty

[severe vapor]

how do i perform soul harvest?

[maiden locust]

press g on the soul that the gaurdian drops after you kill it. (they really should make it auto loot)

[ripe sedge]

G on the tall glowing pillars next to the boss after kill animation

[wicked vessel]

anyone got some mage dream headwear sunglasses that they're be willing to sell?

[maiden locust]

nope

https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/z49m7b/crafting_district_without_a_repair_guy_d/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf hey im tripping out, I saw this thread on reddit. Does anyone know where this place is?

[rose jewel]

isnt that vern

[shy haven]

Holy shit ur right lol, its super zoomed in

[rose jewel]

north vern to be specific, the area where you hone and craft and all that shit

that's where i go for my daily dosis of artisan pity

[shy haven]

Ngl it looked like a brand new city when zoomed in lol, same

[ripe sedge]

Hey Agent J. How goes the MiB business?

[maiden locust]

I have…various questions and I assume this channel would be the right place to ask them lol.

First, is the combat during Guardian, and Abyssal Raids for the boss fast paced? I mainly come from Realm of The Mad God, and Path of Exile if that helps give an idea as to the pace of fighting I enjoy.

My second question is whether there will be more support classes in the future or if there’s any sort of idea that there will be more. Usually I’d choose a support in an mmo rpg like this, but there was only bard and paladin from what I saw. I’m not going to get into what sorts of supports I like to spare the time, I’m just wondering if they will add more in the future.

And my final question is how is the Raid Experience is for someone who solo queues, and should I look for friends to do Lost Ark with to do raids. I recently hit level 50, and I’m curious on this more than anything since I love fighting bosses, and spending lots of time to complete a dungeon or single enemy. I feel as if the co-op experience will be the make it or break if moment for me. I don’t care about the pay 2 win aspect, or if it gets a big aggressive with trying to get you to buy something. (I appreciate any help I’d get.)

[maiden locust]

1, the later raids are pretty fast paced, 2, there will be a 3th support class, artist prob early next year, 3, i advise you to try to find a guild to do raids with

Gotcha. Thank you for the help.

you can look up some footage of the raids to see if its something for you

[maiden locust]

Yeah I will. Thanks once again

[maiden locust]

you can also just play and do the raids 'blind' but its hard to do now adays

[maiden locust]

Yeah. Probably because people didn’t want to play with randoms, and most good players probably subconsciously thought the raid experience overall would be better to just play with people you know more of, than let some random queue decide who you are with.

[maiden locust]

yeah thats why its good to find a guild so they can help you learn the raids

nowhere its too easy to bus, and no rewards

just do it yourself its really easy even on itemlevel

[sullen lark]

Hey guys, isnt it artist that comes with a new continent?

[sullen lark]

Just plugging it is easy?

Pugging

[ripe sedge]

Has anyone here gotten the bed mount yet?

[maiden locust]

yes its baby mode of the actual raid, attacks barely tickle you and the hardest mechs arent in rehearsel

[sullen lark]

I bought 3 of the 100.00 packs but I havent claimed them yet.

[maiden locust]

🐳

[queen tapir]

is this bugged?

[sullen lark]

Thats not t a whale. I wanted the skins 🙂

More like a guppy

[maiden locust]

i dont like them that much

[sullen lark]

A skin loving guppy

[full quiver]

where can i buy awakening chaos shards?

[timber mauve]

General merchant or the market.

[maiden locust]

market

[sullen lark]

At the general vendor next to the chaos dungeon

[maiden locust]

market it better imo, 100g for 1k

[timber mauve]

I’d suggest using the market tho

[maiden locust]

and its a lot faster then the merchant

[sullen lark]

So does anyoke know if artist comes with a new continent? I think I heard that somewhere

[maiden locust]

no clue

[sullen lark]

I'm ready for some new horizontal content

[maiden locust]

im not

[timber mauve]

I’m not

[cursive shadow]

For how much time will the thanksgiving pack be available

[ripe sedge]

Was wondering how the bed mounts look like in action

like, do we lay down and sleep in it and the bed just flies around?

[last wolf]

r there a lot of bots or just new players? NaW didnt used to be this busy

[coral umbra]

Seems like I won't be able to switch express event character? I was thinking to get this one to 1430, and then switch to another and claim simple oreha mats, but I should have done it the other way around, first grab simple oreha mats and then finish this event

is there any way to get 1 extra switch in express event?

now I will end up with bunch of simple oreha mats on 1430 ilevel character that will never be able to use them, and the other character will be have to wait for next express event, if the next give simple oreha mats, which it might not

[rose jewel]

no cheating the system

no there is no way to willy nilly switch the event and get the benefit of the hone buff

[last wolf]

yesterday someonme here said to just ask for the payla vern ball in chat. how does that work?

[rose jewel]

the....what

[sullen lark]

Huh?

[last wolf]

it was like 10 hours ago

they said that people will most likely have it in their stronghold so we dont need to rapport ot was it to buy it ourselves?

[rose jewel]

what in the world is a payla vern ball

[last wolf]

the vern balls this dress u get from payla uppon rapporting to reduce cost of crafting

[full quiver]

does attack speed have a cap?

[echo owl]

+40%

[rose jewel]

should be 140%, yeah +40

[last wolf]

also increases great crafting success chance but i just want the cost reduct

from the legendary rapport chest how do we know which one to select?

[shy yarrow]

theyre all the same, pick one and only pick that one if you wanna bomb

[rose jewel]

first, you need to complete the rapport from the npc you want an outfit from iirc, second anything

[cursive shadow]

Anyone knows for how will we have the thanksgiving deal I’m thinking of buying the big package

[ripe sedge]

Looking at the F4 market, doesn't seem like I can get bed only... it comes with 2 pets which I don't need

[pure nacelle]

why is the auction house unusable how did it get 10x worse after a week?????

[ripe sedge]

bots

[pure nacelle]

ive refreshed my search 40 times

[last wolf]

what's the easiest way to get more rapport items?

[rose jewel]

wandering merchants, lostmerchants.com

[ripe sedge]

https://lostmerchants.com/

That gives you traveling merchant locations, buy rapport items from them

I was able to buy 50+ purple rapport items a day with that, and have every single rapport NPC at 100% trusted status. The merchants drop yellow rapport items too so can go even faster if you're lucky.

[mighty linden]

why isnt it showing up for honing?

on lvl 12 hone weapon

[sonic mountain]

Notice how the book above is "applied mending" while the books below are for "applied welding"

[mighty linden]

oh shoot sorry i feel dumb

[sonic mountain]

Armor and weapons use different books just take note

[dire lion]

is there anyway to change voice to jp?

[ripe sedge]

Okay, so when will the bed mount be available to buy on AH? Tomorrow?

I only want the bed mount, don't want the 2 pets, but no "buy bed only" option in the RC shop

[blazing badger]

not as far as I know, I don't think AGS has rights to their va

[last wolf]

where is the raid bulletin born in vern?

or is that the same as alt+q

[dire lion]

ahhh i see, thnx

[dire lion]

alt+q works

[last wolf]

for the quest guardian slayer, can we kill lumerous solo?

it does say to recruit but noone plays tier 1 guardian raids anymore and i can probs oneshot on my own

[dire lion]

that's soloable

[full quiver]

how do i get gienah coins?

[last wolf]

is hp potion better than elemental hp potion for raids/legions/dungeons

[dire lion]

green hp potion recovers 30% hp and has like 5 uses in raid afaik, purple elemeental recovers 60% hp n has 7 uses

[rose jewel]

adventure islands and events, and sometimes login checkins have boxes with all sort of sea coins

[median drift]

Why does it say equipped gem has higher bonuses when I want to swap a T3 lvl 1 gem with a T2 lvl 8 gem?

[rose jewel]

t2 has 50% reduced effectiveness, unequip the gem first

[median drift]

But even with 50% penalty the T2 should still be higher

[sonic mountain]

Equipping anything of a lower tier than your current tier has reduced effectiveness yes

[rose jewel]

ask smilegate, just unequip the lv1 gem first

[median drift]

Ok thanks

[last wolf]

where is the guild exchange vendor in vern castle?

[full quiver]

can u buy collectible foods (adventure book ones) on the market?

[rose jewel]

no

[lucid stratus]

is it possible to stay at 1500 then do brelshaza g5-g6 cheese in first week?

[queen tapir]

Whats a good area to excavate?

[cloud pendant]

Anyone still buying Argos chests even though you don’t need the Argos blood anymore?

[wraith basin]

ya since they dismantle to 2.5 great leapstones

[ancient lark]

yeah if you really need leapstone that chest is cheaper than market

[stark siren]

does anyone use 6dom?

[cloud pendant]

Ok thanks

Is berserker a front attacker or back? Why do I not get the “front attack” sign when I hit the boss? I thought normally it indicates some additional bonus if the sign appears?

[rose jewel]

check skills tooltips

back skill, you hit back, extra damage and crit
front skill, you hit front, extra damage and stagger
no tooltip, nothing happens

back skill, you hit front, nothing happens
same for front on back

[cloud pendant]

Ok thanks

[weak gate]

Did they mention if they would had out character reskin tickets anytime soon?

[zealous crescent]

heyo, my roster is 1490, 1445, 1385, 1415, 1404.16. Should I individually get my alts to 1490 or reach milestones equally? (1415, 1430, 1445, 1460, 1475, 1490)
only using alts to diversify a bit and fuel my main when new content comes out, not that serious enjoying them

[pliant pivot]

reach equally

[shy yarrow]

you can prioritize the ones you like playing more, but the biggest boost to them would be 1445 so they can start getting relic. do one at a time or all at once doesnt matter much

after relic you start breezing through raids and shit, wouldnt want to keep any of my alts below 1445 anymore

[zealous crescent]

ight, that seems like a chill milestone, thanks :D

[weak gate]

How many weeks does it take for a fresh 1415 to get their full relic set?

[echo owl]

at worst it’s 10 weeks, at best it’s 3 weeks

depends on whether you do hard modes, buy bid box in hard mode, the type of set

[weak gate]

salvation/hal set. Will def do hard modes and vykas

[sleek marsh]

how long does it take for this afk thing to pop up on someone in a raid?

[tardy quail]

How do you get 5x3 with a 3/3 accessory?

[sleek marsh]

double legend book

or a 9/7 stone

[tardy quail]

I have double legendary

im confused how to align the engravings

[sleek marsh]

12/12 gives you 3 extra nodes so you can run a 3/3 and a 3/4 piece assuming a 7/7 stone

here's how i have it set on my zerker

[tardy quail]

ah yea I figured it out

My brain died for a bit there

[uneven robin]

u need at least 6/7 stone

[peak wadi]

Hmm any idea why I'm getting these amulets that are level 4 and under

[silver rain]

#info-dump

[silver rain]

if you havent gotten your answer already it depends on individual afk setting if the person set it for 15m then after 15m that will pop up

[misty ivy]

anyone else report stuttering in 3v3s?

just since patch

[weak gate]

Wth is special honing and when would i use it?

[shy yarrow]

uses fused stones and nothing else for a fixed rate to upgrade

you only get them thru raids and the rate doesnt go up, fairly useful early on, later becomes worthless since you have to pity everything

[weak gate]

im 1415 and just finished my valtan gate 2. So i would use these to get to 1430 then 1445? When do people stop using them?

[shy yarrow]

yeah it's essentially a free upgrade as long as you spend the initial shards

you keep using them even past brel

[weak gate]

wow thats sweet. So do people exclusivly do special honing or do they mix it in with normal honing?

[mild tapir]

Both

[misty ivy]

you only get enough fused stones for a few taps per week

[shy yarrow]

you have to normally hone, you will never progress with just fused stones

have to keep working towards the glorious 100% artisan

[weak gate]

might be a silly question but is there a strat to which peices to hone to which number to get to 1430 and 1445 quickly?

[radiant flame]

it is silly. just hone even

[trail hawk]

gloves -> shoulders -> rest

[weak gate]

ruh roh we got 2 contradicting opinions

[radiant flame]

? they dont contradict

on dps you typically hone gloves and shoulders first because they provide slightly higher dps boosts

but if you are honing from 1415 to 1430 in one go, you just hone all pieces once

[weak gate]

o

aight

[fallow acorn]

i coudln't understand what is meant by this, so its not possible to change express char after hitting 1445?

[rain meadow]

After 1415 there's a honing buff specific to the pass, so yes

To be more specific, after +15 on any piece of legendary gear.

[worthy rivet]

it did warn people that you can't change it

[short raft]

fresh 1445 reaper and my highest character, should I save demonic bone shards for earths entropy dagger or make 2 pc set asap?

[radiant flame]

2 piece

[fallow acorn]

sad

[worthy rivet]

make 2 pieces and then save up for full

[radiant flame]

nothing special about weapon

[short raft]

rgr ty

[trail hawk]

ofc is, if you hit 90+, you already have more dmg than before with only 1 piece

[short raft]

my thinking was a high quality weapon would be enough additional damage % to matter over legendary

[radiant flame]

yes ok

[rain meadow]

Good luck hitting that 1%

[radiant flame]

<1% chance of that happening

[short raft]

hahaha ok

[worthy rivet]

getting high quality

[short raft]

2 pc it is then , ty

[pseudo atlas]

set bonus is way better than that gamble, maybe weapon priority if it doesn't push back getting more set bonuses

[rain meadow]

You dont choose the main, the main chooses you

Thing about weapon is that you get it on 3rd week no matter what you end up doing, unless its a vykas weapon i think

Or, in the case of entropy set, you can go 1pc week 1, and then immediately go 4pc after week 2 is finished

4pc with weapon*

[vital schooner]

If you hit 1445 it means that you'd maxed out the event and you will not be able to do it on another characters anymore. Most likely this event will appear in the future update. the best thing you do is to split up the levels/rewards on your characters the you want to level up

[wary lintel]

by any chance have you got the mount?

[cursive shadow]

Guys so I’m trying to time it to see if I’m able to purchase the thanksgiving packs and souch do we have an expiration date on those packs like for how long they’ll be in shop ?

[silver rain]

top right should say something like 4d =4 days left before it gets taken out

[cursive shadow]

Umm ok I see it seems like a good value

[flat dagger]

Context?

[wary lintel]

zagoras white horse

[mild tapir]

Yes it’s a limited duration until reset I believe but not on currently

[flat dagger]

I have no idea what that is or how it's related to trade items.

[wary lintel]

nvm

[cursive shadow]

Until weekly reset so Wednesday

[runic tundra]

is there a difference between playing with rest bonus and the simultaneous run? regarding reward

[radiant flame]

what do you mean simultaneous run

rest bonus is essentially double rewards but you lose 2x normal run to get the bonus

so, it's time efficient but not reward efficient

[runic tundra]

@radiant flame so basically rest bonus is like sacrificing 1 run

[radiant flame]

yes

but idk, that's a weird way to think about it. it's just about time efficiency v reward amount

running say, guardians every day twice is 100% rewards

if you run guardians twice every 3 days (i.e. full rest), you get 66% rewards but you only spend 33% time

it not really about "sacrificing a run" more just gaining time to do other things (in game or irl)

[flat dagger]

You get half of a usable rest bonus per non-completed run though. So it's 2 sacrificed runs for 1 bonus.

[runic tundra]

thanks

hi, for the tranquil isle adventure, it is displayed the requiem of twilight is required, but one of the rewards is the requiem of twilight, so I do not understand

You get the song from the quest on said island. Just do it before the adventure island quest happens.

[maiden locust]

ok thanks

[brisk kernel]

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but I thought I'd try anyway.

I was wondering if there's any confirmed answer as to how Boss/Cube drop tickets rate work; From my own experience I understand that you can only get one of each (or even in the same run) each day in chaos, but never (2 of one), I also know that people mentioned there being some sort of pity system that drops you a ticket every four days, but I was wondering if anyone had data on if you could get one every daily reset? (If lucky, ofc) I am playing 14 characters, 6 of which are 1490 and I sadly haven't tested it out yet (keep forgetting to....)

I was just wondering if it was set to (1 every 4 days, if unlucky) on purpose or if you can actually get more than 1 ticket every 4 days, because I feel like I have.

[muted verge]

yes you can get more than one each day, and you can get multiple in one run. it all comes down to luck, but ive never heard of a pity system tbh im not sure thats a real thing

[flat dagger]

Either way, I don't see how any of the information would be useful for anyone playing the game. You either get tickets or you don't.

[muted verge]

how is it weird for people to want to know how a system works

[flat dagger]

Useful and being curious are two different things

[brisk kernel]

Right I didn't mention the reason, since there's a rested system in place if it was confirmed to only be one ticket every four days I'd have probably gone rested, but if we had proof on being able to get a boss rush ticket every other day (as Howdy said, if lucky), I'll continue to non-rest my alts as I value boss rushes pretty high, (as they're technically 1K gold)

depending on which server you play, hehe.
Hopefully that clears it up a bit.

[muted verge]

pretty sure rest bonus buffs the drop rate for tickets as wel

[flat dagger]

Out of all the daily content you can do, chaos dungeons are the most valuable for materials, silver and tickets. So it's 100% worth doing without rested bonus.

You'd rather rest guardian raids than chaos dungeons, if you're not able to do everything.

[brisk kernel]

It might, but it'd also mean that you technically lost out on a day of (2) attempts at a boss rush ticket, don't mind me tho, I am a terrible person when it comes to these kind of things so next to what Orchan says (in terms of valuable/gold earnings), the boss rushes are a great addition and thus is why I personally don't want to rest them.

[radiant flame]

You definitely don’t get a boss rush every other day

[brisk kernel]

Yea, it isn't guaranteed it all comes down to rng, all I was hoping for if someone had proof of actually (getting one back to back after a daily reset) sorry for being unclear. I've just been extremely bad at keeping track of my own ticket count, I should really start... writing it down.

[flat dagger]

For me, it's pretty common to get 2-3 per week, per character of course. As well as cube tickets on top of that.

[radiant flame]

I think I’ve had them back to back, but as you say it’s down to RNG so I don’t know how this helps?

[flat dagger]

I have 100% had back to back drops on the same day.

[brisk kernel]

It's not about it helping (particularly), just knowing that there isn't a (4 day/weekly limit on it was all I needed to know) this just re-confirms that I will continue to do my non-rested chaos on all my characters as I'll never get tired of making more gold

Or have enough gold for that matter, Thank you!

[radiant flame]

Shrug. Yeah it just depends on how much time you have to play, tbh

I mean, extrapolating this, you should just keep making more alts

And do chaos on everyone all the time

[flat dagger]

I'm up there too with my ||1960 hours|| in 7 months

[radiant flame]

I personally barely have time to do my weekly boss rushes and my lopang alts are sitting with 20+ boss rush tickets I don’t have time to run

[brisk kernel]

I've told myself I really don't wanna make more than 15 characters, I luckily to this day haven't had a feeling of burning out at all I am having a great time and Reaper definitely made a big impact on me as it's a lot of fun.

so yall already got lv60 life skills?

[sacred torrent]

for FPPC guardian raid lobbies, do you go by the order when you join the lobby? Or when you actually get in the raid?

[muted verge]

kind of puts into perspective how much blue crystals i wasted on life energy to still be higher then u lol

as of 7 months ago

[chrome brook]

You just write in chat what you doing or are the first who used a flare

[muted verge]

excavating is probably better to invest in

[sacred torrent]

i meant specifically in the PF lobbies

[chrome brook]

Ah nvm

[crisp turtle]

Lobby order

[tropic steppe]

FPPC = #1 FLARE #2 and 3 Phero, #4 corro.
Which is the order you join, which is the same when you get in.

[sacred torrent]

the lobby or the raid itself?

it's the same order isn't it?

at least thats what i feel

[crisp turtle]

The first raid is the same order
If you're doing two, the second order will be different. But you use the same items as you did in the first raid/ lobby order

[sacred torrent]

and its always that way right?

no chance of the order swapping between joining lobbies and the First raid?

[crisp turtle]

No

[sacred torrent]

aight just checkin. thanks

[crisp turtle]

No there's no chance of the order swapping
Fppc =Lobby order=same as raid order

[sacred torrent]

had some dude flame me when I was 2 and he was 3 in the first raid. and we both chucked at the first move

in a PF lobby, so i guess he was just trippin

[potent owl]

does anyone know is theres a way to find strongholds with specific merchants? or should i just keep randomly joining different ones?

[rustic oracle]

fk im trolling I didnt know there are sales in store

is there any other sales like cyber friday in store for future lost ark purchase just want to have headsup

wasted 1k RC

[terse hound]

Other than selling mats, doing raids, what are stable ways to make gold ?

[buoyant herald]

raids weekly unas and selling mats mostly leapstones now that stones are worthless gems if you got lvl 7 on all chars you play most

[trail hawk]

atm shrooms are at record prices, at least on euc

[rustic cape]

how do i completely stop the notifications from the merchants on the lost ark server

i muted it completely but i still get atleast 1 notification i even muted the entire server how do i make it shut up

[trail hawk]

what?

[rustic cape]

i think its the alert feature but how do i remove it because i dont want to be pinged at all now coz i prefer the private messaging bot if therees anything i want from a merchant.

[trail hawk]

ah i know what you mean, remove what you have set

[silver rain]

just select the role again in #941175805487235112 to remove the ping

[radiant violet]

can you buy items that's posted by a different roster character from the AH? would you lose any money from there?

like i know you already have to spend pheons to give accessories from 1 roster character to another anyway

[maiden locust]

You can buy, you will lose only the tax

[dark pond]

would it be worth it at all to KT a new character and hone it up to 1445 from 0, or wait a while for next power pass/express event?

[radiant violet]

so it's kinda like pulling out early and losing that deposit/tax?

[buoyant herald]

just hone now if you want a char up
next express is earliest a month or 2 into 2023

[dark pond]

well, wont the character be like 1445 by that time? i'd get it for free if i wait, or how long does it take?

[lime osprey]

What does it mean when content creators say something like, "You can make this character a 3x4 or 4x4

Woodworking reference or...?

[buoyant herald]

depends on your roster but yeah 1445 doesnt take more than a few weeks with a good roster even without express

[dark pond]

okay thats a fair point. would i be feeding it the unbound leapstones?

[buoyant herald]

its engravings 3x4 is 4 level 3 engravings 4x4 is not a thing 🙃 its 3x3 3x4 or 3x5 with some variations for some builds use like 3x4 1x2 and 1x1

[buoyant herald]

depends on how fast you wanna push it

[lime osprey]

I see. That makes sense. Damn... I thought I was cool with 2x4. Thanks for the clarification

Which boostst are there currently from lvl0 or 50? Is there a webpage? My max character is only ilvl600 so looking for boost

[trail hawk]

what boost?

[buoyant herald]

google knowledge transfer

[trail hawk]

he cant do any kt if hes max ilvl is 600...

only for new chars...

[buoyant herald]

he wants 0 to 50 wdym

[analog kindle]

So what can i do? I thought there were ilvl boosts?

[lime osprey]

Also, could you please clarify what a bus and a driver means in party finder? I see people looking for a driver for a bus or needing 2 DPS driver for bus, etc.

[analog kindle]

I meant starting from 0 or 50

[trail hawk]

in sh you have knowledge transfer to vern for 800gold

[buoyant herald]

then its just powerpass if you wanna spend real money but i do not recommend it just look up tier 3 speed run guide and go its pretty fast

[analog kindle]

Ok thanks

[trail hawk]

but 800g is a lot for a char with ilvl600...

[buoyant herald]

driver is someone who will help them carry the raid if they are offering a bus they are just offering to carry you for gold

[tribal bloom]

hi guys i need help. I haven't played lost ark for a long time, today i returned and found out that guardian raids matchmaking does not find people to play with, what can i do??

[trail hawk]

but didnt you get vernpass since your already ready for t2?

[lime osprey]

Ok thank you.

[tribal bloom]

im at tier 2

[trail hawk]

t1 and t2 guariand raids are dead.. just skips them

[tribal bloom]

but

[trail hawk]

there is no need to do previuos bosses anymore

[tribal bloom]

how can i upgrade my erquipment without the guardian raids rewards?

[buoyant herald]

either use party finder or solo them

[analog kindle]

Solo? Is it scaled down then?

[buoyant herald]

yeah

[trail hawk]

each playerr adds 1.5x to boss hp

you have event for mats to upgrade

[buoyant herald]

if you wanna solo them you gonna need to have correct stats and at least a class engraving but its pretty easy for most of them

[tribal bloom]

but, if i 'skip them' i wouldnt be able to upgrade, or is it other way to level up?

[trail hawk]

event...

[tribal bloom]

ohh ok

[trail hawk]

t2 islands...

[tribal bloom]

sorry, i dont know about those events

[trail hawk]

ah right, you cant really do much =S

so t2 islands and daily chaos for mats

[tribal bloom]

thank you so much

[trail hawk]

aaah for event you have the island and a daily quest there

there you get the event mats for make another event mats for event npc

[rose wing]

can someone tell me how this secret map LFG works? I have map and in party with others who has them too, but failed to enter why? bcoz "Im not in the same area". I'm right besides dungeon so what do I do wrong?

[trail hawk]

you have to be on same channel as others

so if ppl are on ch4, you have to be there to. you change channel in upper right

[rose wing]

oh never crossed my mind to be in channel

tnx for info

[dry charm]

with the extra tickets i have now, i can use them for dailies new leapstones or no?

i have to save them?

[trail hawk]

if you have eibern ship already, then use them for whatever

[dry charm]

are you aswering my question? i did not get it

[trail hawk]

yes

because eibern is a daily quest for weekly ship

[dry charm]

yeah but

i can use these tickets when brel comes out?

[trail hawk]

sure

[rough pivot]

Hey guys I just started the game. Don't know anyone playing so I was looking for peeps to befriend and play with but the guild recruitment on discord hasn't done me any favors as a newbie.
What else can I do?

[dry charm]

thanks

[slim nacelle]

Hey they just gave punika pass again with reaper release?

[trail hawk]

leveling process is a solo thing....

[trail hawk]

yes, but its 1 pass for repaer OR the other class that comes

so if you want to use it on reaper you wont havee it for later

[slim nacelle]

The 1445 thing i used already so ik nw, lowkey regret

[maiden locust]

hey new player here main sitting at 1477 4x3 have 3 alts on 1430 since prices of accesorys are too high i cant get 5x3 so i cant get to enter to clown raid so idk what to do should i focus on gettint 5 alts to get enough gold a week to afford some of that fancy books and accesorys or stop wasting gold on alts and focus on mains until getting 5x3 ? i dont like the idea of wasting weeks without doing clown 😦

[trail hawk]

try making a learning group, im sure there are other people who only have 4x3 and want to do clown

[maiden locust]

u think i can make it with 4x3 ?

[buoyant herald]

yes 100%

[maiden locust]

i mean having enough dps to kill clown

[trail hawk]

you can do it with 3x3

[thin token]

Yes i do clears with multiple 4x3 alts, just need to be really good doe at basic patterns and mechanics

[maiden locust]

ohh nice to know ty

[thin token]

if dps is low doe it can get pretty smodge, i got jailed g3 on my last clear char for the week and i had to join a random party in the morning even 2 dps had 4x3 and 5x3 but we always barely killed him in time. Like everytime we killed him he is just entering berserk lol. Did not even clear with that group in the end due to always wiping at bingo. Had to find another group

[trail hawk]

yxy doesnt really mean you have the skill to do dmg

that comes with knowing your class and the boss mech

[thin token]

thats why i said if u go 4x3 u have to be really good with patterns and mechanics to be able to do your st00f

[last wolf]

has smilegate addressed the issue with market?

[trail hawk]

its weekend, no

[maiden locust]

well i did a lot of rehersal but i guess normal is lot harder than that

[last wolf]

but its been happening since wednesday

and few weeks too :/

[maiden locust]

idk because i never get accepted since this is a 1 month account roster level is at 87 hehe

[thin token]

normal mode is alot different than rehearsal like more punishing on mistakes and rehearsal leaves out some stuff to make raid easier. As for finding a group it would be best for you to either find a guild / group on LFG channel / try make some friends lol. Because yea i would imagine most ppl will see 87 roster and just decline

or u can try the "just make your own group" tip lol but that will take super long for ppl to join if any do i bet

[last wolf]

is procyon or punika rapport better to exhange using providence stone?

[trail hawk]

punika needs a lot of rapport

270k

[last wolf]

is bloodclaw's glittering coin x10 better or 1 glory fusion material selection chest?

[thin token]

fusion material, are those orehas right?

[last wolf]

yes

can choose between basic and simple oreha

[thin token]

get those orehas, that pirate coin is so little lol and u get pirate coins through trading sailing coin chests instead

[hollow quiver]

What should i use the stronghold seals on? i have 40k of each ahah..

[trail hawk]

secret maps, runes, legend barakas

[hollow quiver]

okok i'll start checking these then

secret maps give some gold which is good

[trail hawk]

no

those maps are for sailing, and give silver rewards + ship resistances

[hollow quiver]

oh so its not the same maps we get on chaos gates?

[trail hawk]

nope

[hollow quiver]

i don't sail all that much in general :c i don't think i've upgraded my ship a whole lot

Which ship should i upgrade/work towards?

[trail hawk]

astray

but since you dont sail much...

then just estoke

[hollow quiver]

yeah.. well its already a lot to do with the characters i have doing dailies and such.. haven't even gotten the skill points

[hollow quiver]

I think i have that one no?

[trail hawk]

thats the first ship you get

[hollow quiver]

ahh okok good i'll do on that one then

[trail hawk]

eibern for ghostship is ok one too

[hollow quiver]

i don't have that one sadly is it hard to get?

it says its faster just less durable that sounds good to me ahah

[trail hawk]

14 or so daily quests

be sure to use the insta complete tickets on them tho

[hollow quiver]

ah i could do that you know what una task it is?

[trail hawk]

that ship is only for ghostship, because berald has buff for it

"ghost ship" or so or "eibern".... forgot

[hollow quiver]

i'll check no worrries!

yeah you were right ahah was a mix of both :P

[thin token]

all u need is the starter ship tbh, You will barely ever use ur ship

[trail hawk]

well, as support doing ghostship, i guess only thing eibern brings is move speed for you

[vast oriole]

the musics from stronghold 👀

[hollow quiver]

ermmmm i often don't play LA with music because it LAILAI's too much for my taste

[tulip copper]

After reaching 70lvl even the normal dispatch becomes useless because there is nothing to spend your seals..

[trail hawk]

cards packs

[flat dagger]

Yea, card packs, sailing coins and music.

[wet sparrow]

Is there a way to get the Arkesia Honor set (Black general outfit with cape) without buying the 9700 RC pack or the AH?

[thin token]

nop either spend that 9700 crystal or pay that gold on auction house. They already said its meant to be an exclusive skin

[sullen spire]

what lvl dod you need for brel 5-6 normal? 1520 right?

[thin token]

if u wanna buy the skin u should get it now because in future its only gonna get more expensive for gold once they are gone lol @wet sparrow

[wet sparrow]

ty

[sullen spire]

thanks

[umbral belfry]

Is the charm relic set better in chaos than betrayal? I've seen people running charm

[sullen spire]

hm was it 1490 1505 1520 i guess for 1-2 3-4 5-6 respectively

[crisp turtle]

Depends on class and skills they use

[thin token]

the notification icon at the top. One of those icons

[crisp turtle]

The bell

[wet sparrow]

has anyone else been getting this notification while using the auction house? haven't been able to use it today

[thin token]

yes just keep spamming the search button until it goes through

[sullen spire]

it's been an issue for a couple of weeks

[candid rapids]

i have 33 empyrean dawns and i need 2 more to get 35 so i can get 3 and 3 argos but is there another way to get legendary gear instead of crafting

[sullen spire]

argos

[candid rapids]

argos gives legendary gear?

[sullen spire]

oh shoot lol nope not atm i dont think

[crisp turtle]

Buying a s vern powerpass

[sullen spire]

you can exchange/craft argos blood for leg gear

[candid rapids]

ah then i have to wait until reset to progress

[candid rapids]

how much does all 3 gates + got all chests and did argos for first time give in argos blood

[crisp turtle]

40

[sullen spire]

should give you enough for 4 piece i think (armor) and you use the hm oreha/aira's for the other 2, weapon esp since it's cheaper to craft that way

[candid rapids]

4 piece is 48

[crisp turtle]

Can only make 3 argos pieces, as they cost 12

[sullen spire]

but either way you can make all 6 legendary in week 1 right iirc? or no?

[crisp turtle]

I'm guessing he didn't buy orehas chests

Because normally you can

[tropic cipher]

can you get notified when you get outbid in AH?

[trail hawk]

you get your gold back dont you?

[tropic cipher]

yeah but i want to outbid them back

[trail hawk]

you have 5min to do so. you can check what the item youre bidding on so you dont have to find it again

[silver rain]

apart from system message which is barely noticeable no unless you go into AH and look for yourself

[tropic cipher]

well i didn't notice anything at all until it sold

[crisp turtle]

I think you get a singular line of text as the only notification

[silver rain]

^

best you could do is checking the 'bid detail' tab here and there during the bidding period

[thin token]

If i am bid on something when the last 10 mins approach I would just sit there and wait the 10 mins until bid is done lol

[flat dagger]

As you should, if you want to win the item.

[thin token]

yep lol

[tropic cipher]

i'm gonna start setting up alarms from now

[flat dagger]

I bid on an item and set a 9 hour timer so I could check on it later.

[rigid heron]

is there a use for the night market besides the exchange?

[cloud pendant]

Can I buy Royal crystal with gold?

[rigid heron]

is it worth me crafting the secret powder?

[flat dagger]

The exhange doesn't only happen there. The actual features are more seeds, island soul and better una's task daily.

[thin token]

sage powder for skill transfer? no u get those from doing challenge guardian

[crisp turtle]

No, it's the premium currency
Only purchasable with actual money

[rigid heron]

Nah the Aldebaran secret powder from the mokomoko event

[thin token]

Oh i mean its basically free might as well if u want lol for make the feast

[crisp turtle]

Think you'd probably get better answers asking in the specific class channels

[hollow quiver]

What are the valtan/vykas hard drops? In terms of the Bone and wings? (without the 5 extra on auction)

[olive carbon]

I just get the region closed, cannot be selected error, is there any fix for it? I googled it and don't seem to have any solutions

[thin token]

12 for both +5 from auction box for both max of 17 can get per week

[brave rapids]

@ripe sedge not sure if you saw this, but I remember you were asking about the market not working: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/z4mcmp/explanation_for_the_recent_market_and_auction/

TL;DR: Bots are freely farming gems from chaos dungeon and mass listing thousands of them for cheap. Other bots use the AH to mass buy them for cheap, fuse them and resell for profit. The sheer number of bots are completely overwhelming the system making it unusable. Even the auction bots can't keep up with the overflow of gems from farming bots.

[hollow quiver]

Ooo okok thank you!!

And do you know if there's any first clear reward? i'm seeing on reddit that there ins't but valtan had it (i think)

[buoyant herald]

there is but it doesnt give any mats

[astral root]

it gives chaos stone rocks + Fused + silver

[buoyant herald]

just silver fused leaps and chaos stones

[hollow quiver]

ohhhhh okok

I probably saw wrong then, thanks a lot!

[astral root]

welcome to the relic waiting room

[hollow quiver]

Do bids go high on vykas because of that?

[regal finch]

Depends on the party u are in

[thin token]

maybe with new reapers yea wenever there is a new class and ppl wanna gear them with relic fast they will want box bad

like for example i can finish my reaper relic set next week if i can get all vykas box + auction so unless i go with my guild and they give me the box, im gonna have to pay X amount vs PUGs or wait a whole extra week to complete my set lol

[crisp turtle]

That's why you always invite two new classes to raids
Make em fight

[rain meadow]

abyss raid and legion raid

unsure if abyss dungeons also give them

[hybrid marsh]

It does

[regal finch]

You will ge there soon my brotha dont worry!

[hybrid marsh]

Idk about the ribs. But it gives the 3rds atleast

[dark pond]

yo, i can have 2 of same class in raid right, just in different groups for the syenergies?

[regal finch]

For sure, if you need any help ask here or dm me and ill try to help you

[thin token]

yea

[modern beacon]

Any tips for improving daily game routine? Here is my current daily routine (not including weekly raids/events/etc): 3x quick bifrost unas/character, rapport, anguished isle (just the quest, saving the keys for later), stronghold tasks (pets/dispatch/lab/workshop/etc), empty trade energy, guild donation/research, chaos/guardians on 2 main characters if rested (don't feel like doing any alts unless have extra time), chaos gate (if convenient), skipping adventure islands (unless don't have island soul already + gold + convenient). I'm trying to make it brief while still keeping some of the things I enjoy the most. Is there anything here that seems unnecessary or am I missing any high-yield daily tasks?

[crisp turtle]

You can have 8 if you want
But yes, for synergy purposes you want a max of 2. One in each party

[regal finch]

I think urbokay only on weekends do slime and medeia for gems and gear

[thin token]

I do una dailies x3 (bi-frost) | chaos dungeon x2 | guardian raid x2 | Move to next char lol x9 anything more than that is just up to you like me i dont care about stronghold stuff most of it seems useless for me

[modern beacon]

I was more thinking about time to reward payout for stronghold: takes seconds to setup and gives decent rewards

[crisp turtle]

Stronghold has many small benefits for a tiny amount of time you put into t

[thin token]

what do u buy with stronghold seals? I dont even know wat to use on other than yellow for feasts

[crisp turtle]

Used to be sage powder, idk if prices are worth anymore

[flat dagger]

Runes, crew, cards and sailing coins.

[brave rapids]

I still do dispatches but I haven't really bought anything with my seals. I've got 100k of each now I think

[thin token]

yea thats why i dont even bother doing anymore. I already have the important stuff for combat related

[hollow quiver]

yeahhh i see now.. yeah i was doing the math yeah if i get both vykas boxes i'll be fine getting the 4 piece i want

[flat dagger]

I guess you don't want free card packs for seals?

[brave rapids]

Takes 5 seconds to dispatch them, so why not? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hollow quiver]

so imagine the reapers will be there along with me ahah

[thin token]

I always thought card pack was scam lol ive bought a few times and was just like naaah this aint it lol

[brave rapids]

It is

[flat dagger]

A card pack is a card pack.

[brave rapids]

You definitely work for casinos

[flat dagger]

No? But if you aren't buying anything else of value then why not buy packs?

[modern beacon]

you can also buy rapport items from stronghold with seals if you haven't maxed everyone's rapport yet

or ship mats if you don't have all the main ships you use to lvl 10 already

[brave rapids]

By woke, do you mean Awakening? Heavy Armor 4th. 5th is your choice between like Drops of Ether, Vital Hit Point or Max MP Increase.

[modern beacon]

you can even make the 5th flex where you swap using a ring and book between them for different raids

[brave rapids]

Drops of Ether is best, but it actually requires your DPS having eyes and picking up the Ether. Vital Point Hit is good cuz future raids will have tight Stagger Checks. Max MP is a self explanatory QoL engraving

Your friend sounds like an elitist. Once a support has their 3 main engravings (Class/Awakening/Expert), they barely get any value from their next 2 engravings, so it's pretty much free game. Eventually people will even pick up 3x3 supports in Brel.

[crisp turtle]

There are better options

[flat dagger]

For Bard, Heavy Armor seems acceptable, but not for Paladin with his much higher defence.

[crisp turtle]

Vph is bis 4th for pally
3rd for bard

Imo^

[brave rapids]

This idea is probably best imo. You end spending a little more than you normally would picking up another accessory, but the 5th Engraving for supports is usually cheap enough it still costs less than gearing a 5x3 DPS.

VPH and DoE books are dirt cheap. Finding a ring for both of these might cost a bit more, but depends on where all your engravings are on your accessories.

[crisp turtle]

Ha is just total overkill on a paladin
Your just wasting gold making a 5x3 with heavy armour

[astral mirage]

where is reaper power pass, does it expire even after claimin?

[brave rapids]

There will be a maintenance on January 18. That's when the event pass ends.

Maintenance always falls on a Wednesday morning 3AM EST. Jan 18 is a Wednesday.

[crisp turtle]

Idk what you mean by where is it
But it expires in January if you haven't used it on a character

[astral mirage]

thing is i used it but dont see option on power pass character screen

[brave rapids]

Oh wait that's for the hyper express, nvm

[crisp turtle]

Are you sure it doesn't say you have one
Most people just seem to ignore it

[hot path]

so from 1340 on i basically grind argos and orehas to get the items to trade in for new gear?

[astral mirage]

how do i find it now

[brave rapids]

that's 1370+.

[astral mirage]

wish this game had Roster wide search function for items

[hot path]

yeah, what i meant ^^

[crisp turtle]

On your character select page, in the top right does it say something about a powerpass being active on your server

Top left*

[brave rapids]

Yeah, at 1370 you can get full legendary from 1 full run (plus buying all bonus material chests) of Argos and Oreha's Well.

[hot path]

yeah i did that, still, so... slow... afterwards to level up

[brave rapids]

You're full legendary gear now? Then all you have to do is hone up to 1415/1445 to work on Relic gear. You only run Argos/Oreha for gold now, don't buy the material chests

[crisp turtle]

Any character your pushing should still be buying chests

[brave rapids]

Pretty sure new Argos makes it not worth it. You still get same amount of mats, but spend more gold.

[hot path]

why did people say that's the endgame again? it's just boring now XD
just getting honing stuff from x characters to up main. guess i'll finish south vern and be done with it ^^
thanks for the information

[brave rapids]

Endgame lost ark is just hone grinding and raiding. Should probably find another game if you don't enjoy it, cuz it doesn't change much lol

[hot path]

i loved the game so far but endless repeating of same stuff isn't really my thing. still, had great fun. thanks for clarifying ;) 👍🏼

[rare iris]

is there an option to have the tab minimap stay fixed instead of manually pressing it after every interaction?

[flat dagger]

No, it will disappear after loading into a new area.

[rare iris]

It even dissapears when you talk to npc..

[crisp turtle]

It's still worth

Just the extra argos blood
9 blood = 22ish leapstones
Euc has one of lowest leapstones values at 45g
That's still 990g value just from the argos blood
Let alone the actual leapstones and shards

[astral mirage]

wait

[crisp turtle]

So just go to the character you want to powerpass and click the powerpass button and select punika

[astral mirage]

o shid now i see

there is 1 number , holy fug this UI is so terrible

[flat dagger]

[crisp turtle]

.

[astral mirage]

gonna power ass my machinist, dont want arcana or reapers, i already main gs enough of brainstorming with this class

need something braindead

[brave rapids]

s h a d o w h u n t e r

[buoyant herald]

paladin

[astral mirage]

if shadowhunter didnt had this blacked texture i would do it right now

[astral mirage]

already have one

[rare iris]

I got a question about the ark pass. I am on my alt and want to know if my progression through the campaign will help level it up on the side or not? I see some missions only my main has acces to, like doing Una's tasks. Simply put: I want to focus on my second character now and get the pass completed. Is that achievable in 2 weeks time on my alt alone?

[minor crown]

Scouter is whole lot cheaper now, sh still expensive af

[brave rapids]

You're asking if story-progression on your alt will help level your Ark Pass?

[rare iris]

Yes, because I see some specific missions I have no acces to yet on my second character

[brave rapids]

Is your alt able to do dailies (so progressed passed North Vern)? The missions in the Ark Pass can be completed just through daily stuff alone. There's stuff like use 20 flares, hit 10 counters, use 10k work energy in there as well.

[flat dagger]

Life Energy*

[rare iris]

No, just started my second character from scratch

[brave rapids]

Then your alt will probably not effect your Ark Pass at all, until it can do dailies. That being said, I think the Ark Pass lasts until January, so you have tons of time.

[rare iris]

Yeah that is my question basically, do you only get xp from doing those missions or also passively playing the game? OOh yeah now I see 18-1-2023

[brave rapids]

What ilevel is your main btw?

[rare iris]

50

[brave rapids]

ilevel = item level.

[rare iris]

just arrived in vern and did the vern questline for the 2 boosts

2xx something

[brave rapids]

Oh so you're 302?

Ah

[rare iris]

havent done any raids orso

want to play some character till 50 to decide my main. I have to say the campaign and leveling on reaper is not fun.. So i stopped around 20-25 and am playing arcanist now. Which is fun 🙂

But my question still stand, or at least I still don't get it. I have played other games where you get xp for playing the game, don't need to do specific missions if you dont want to. Ofcourse that will be slower. But I don't get xp from just playing the game, only from doing the missions? correct?

[brave rapids]

Gonna be honest, the classes you play pre-50 will feel very different when you play them in endgame content. Picking a main based on pre-50 gameplay is tough. I would suggest just watching endgame content by class youtubers/streamers to see what you might like.

[brave rapids]

Yeah you need to do missions to get xp for the pass. click View Missions to see them

[rare iris]

Unfortunate. Well guess I am gonna grind my arcanist to 50 fast as possible.

[rare iris]

I have watched multiple videos and am gonna play Sorceress (main atm), reaper, Arcanist (playing atm), scrapper, soulfist and gunslinger. And then decide which one I am gonna main with 1-2 on the side.

Don't worry I will level up reaper till 50 with Knowledge transfer and see how she is in endgame. It's just not fun playing her in the beginning honestly..

[brave rapids]

Good call watching videos first. Also, are you aware there's ANOTHER Powerpass being given away for free at the moment? It requires progressing the story up to i1100 though first. This powerpass basically gives you a free i1302 class

[rare iris]

NANI?

How do i get it?

like how to get to 1100?

[hybrid marsh]

Focus 1 character and do the post vern content and maxroll island guide to t3

[tough spoke]

its a punika pass so same requirement as before, doing all the purple punika quests

[rare iris]

I am sorry I am rather new, no idea what you mean.. Just do blue quests and then punika is a region? do main quest there?

[crisp turtle]

Just continue the story

[brave rapids]

Yes. Essentially do all the blue quests, following the story line until you hit the Punika continent. Finish the story line there, and then the purple quest line on Punika after the blue quest line. Finishing the purple quest line will grant you the new powerpass.

[crisp turtle]

The powerpass doesn't expire for 2 months
You've got plenty of time
Just carry on doing the story

[brave rapids]

The powerpass expires January 18, so that's supposedly the date you can claim it up until.

[worldly slate]

Guys how can I do una daily task in Gesbroy Island? Nobody is here to help to do co op quest

[rare iris]

Is it one of these 2?

[full quiver]

I found this treasure map and it cannot be dropped. where do I use it?

[brave rapids]

No, that's a Tier 3 Hyper Express Pass, basically a gearscore boosting event. You can only activate it once you've got a T3 character (i1302).

[rain meadow]

That uhhh starts in port krona

[tough spoke]

amazing quest btw

[brave rapids]

@rare iris Also, don't bother creating characters from scratch. Once you've done the level 1-50 grind once, you pretty much never have to do it again. Once you've completed your first level 1-50 grind once, you get three North Vern Knowledge Transfers (that's 3 level 50s). After using your two free North Vern Powerpasses from the Ealyn's Gift quest, you get an additional 6 North Vern Knowledge Transfers (for a total of 9 level 50s). Just get the gold to Knowledge Transfer any of your character new characters.

I suggest just speedrunning 1 character though atm, so you can claim the extra powerpass and utilize the Hyper Express Pass event.

[rare iris]

wait wait wait

I know that, but won't I miss on a lot of quest items like potions and such?

[brave rapids]

You pretty much never keep anything from the pre-50 days, so no. You'll maybe miss a couple of battle item chests, but they're relatively cheap and also we get events that give us free boxes of them all the time

[rare iris]

😮

Oke I know about the 2 free passes. I have acces to 1 now, and I get 1 after I use that one. KT I under stand how it works, but how do I get enough gold for 6?!!!! characters? holy shit that is alot

[brave rapids]

Basically, once you've done the 1-50 grind once, you get 11 chances at easy level 50s (2 powerpasses + 9 knowledge transfers). 12 if you can grab the event powerpass going on right now.

[brave rapids]

It's like 600 gold for North Vern KT right? I'll tell you right now, as a mid-endgame player, I make 66k minimum per week. You'll make more gold once you get upto Tier 3 raiding standards

[rare iris]

yes 600

[dreamy bluff]

That 66k is not per character right?

[brave rapids]

Nah that's my entire roster of raids. Not including selling anything I get. Just the bare minimum gold from my roster is 66k.

I think max right now with 6 clown characters is like ~85k. I don't have 6 clowners

[rare iris]

this changes everything! i thought i had 2 free passes and maybe 1 or 2 kt possible

[tough spoke]

trick is to have alts that get boosted thru gold-gaining dungeons/raids

[rare iris]

but 12???!!!!!

[tough spoke]

even if you pay the fee you gain gold

[rare iris]

Where can I see how much gold I got?

[dreamy bluff]

Ok but yeah u aren't wrong. I make something close to that too.
That being said what do you consider endgame? As I am guessing u probably have 2-3 chars at 1490

[brave rapids]

I've only got one 1490+. My other 5 gold earners ar only 1445. I've had tons of chances to push them to 1475+, but I'd rather focus on buying Books/Pheons/Accessories atm, especially with the Inflation Event going on. Everything's getting cheaper by the day. I'll go back to Brel Prepping more characters when gold-prices rise again

[rain meadow]

Smart man...

[dreamy bluff]

Make sense

[brave rapids]

There's a little chest icon at the top of your screen, its the Currencies tab. You can see your gold there. You probably have little to none since you just got to North Vern. You get gold from doing Abyssal Dungeons and Legion Raids. You won't unlock Legion Raids until 1415, so Abyssal Dungeons are your only gold source atm. They start off small, I think you get like 180 gold per week doing T1 Abyssal Dungeons, but the higher ilevel you get, the more gold you make from the higher tier Abyssal Dungeons.

[urban narwhal]

Inquiry.
I finished Shushire and am being told that the next step is Rohendel.
But I can't go there because item level not high enough.
What do?

[brave rapids]

Also, high level characters do Abyssal Dungeons some times, so it's kinda likely you can just get a free carry through them for your gold. Check Party Finder to see if anyone is doing a free carry, but if not just Matchmake after looking up mechanics.

[woven totem]

so u are a new player, go into matchmaking for a guardian raid, someone in the party sees your engravings and proceeds to vote to kick you constantly because u "dont do enough damage", this is some next level asperger's shit right there

[brave rapids]

I think you have to Hone your gear upto 460, no? You should have a purple Guide quest saying something like get to 460?

[rare iris]

Yeah I got 0 xD 180 a week. So in the 4th week I can KT 1 character?

[urban narwhal]

That's probably the case, but I'll have to spin up the game to verify. Hold on.

[brave rapids]

No, that's just how much that raid will give you in a week. If you play enough, you'll probably get to T3 in a week, if I'm being honest, and at that point you'll probably make at least 2k+ a week. They've revamped the T1 > T2 > T3 Progression to be fast and cheap as possible. It used to take us like a month. Pretty sure an efficient player can speedrun in 2 days

[rare iris]

sheesh

till 18 of jan is enough time for me then xD

Oke I am gonna powerboost my arcanist and do either scrapper or soulfirst, then tackle some dungeons and kt the rest i guess

[brave rapids]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/ This website will be your Lost Ark Bible for a while. It's a great Beginner website for all kinds of stuff: raid mechanics, class builds, etc.

[urban narwhal]

Yup. Purple quest reach level 460.

[brave rapids]

There ya go. If you just finished Shushire, you're probably still 302? Maybe less? 460 can be done pretty fast

[tulip copper]

Hello. Can we also search for psychological help here?

[urban narwhal]

Holy hell I'm at 268..

[brave rapids]

No trauma dumping please

[woven totem]

this game gotta have the most elitist fcks l've ever seen in my life

[urban narwhal]

No, but I can offer to rent you a lapcat..

[brave rapids]

@urban narwhal @rare iris both of you follow this guide for easy T1 and T2 materials: https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/road-to-rohendel you don't need to finish EVERY island, but it's perfect for getting you fast materials to get you to T3 asap.

[urban narwhal]

[rare iris]

Incredibly helpful, thanks! I will look into it on the site.

[tulip copper]

Can it stop or fastforward time?

[urban narwhal]

[dreamy bluff]

How do u get 302 gears again? I know for t2 and t3 you get them from choas dungeon of those region. Is it the same for Vern?

[rare iris]

Thanks for all the replies and help everyone, gonna go back to the grind!

[brave rapids]

Yeah, you do the very first Chaos Dungeon. I think it's required ilevel is like 250

the gear from there instantly bumps you up to 302

[urban narwhal]

250 confirmed.

[tulip copper]

Another fresh soul got grasped by the abyss..

[dreamy bluff]

You won't escape once it grabs you

[rare iris]

I am already dead from the inside

[brave rapids]

Need a #trauma-dump channel

[versed wadi]

I played this game a while back when it released, though I had to quit due to school slowly becoming more prevelant since my break had ended
I wanted to ask if it's worth returning to Lost Ark since I've also heard talk of P2W mechanics in the game, though I'm unsure of how agregious they may be or how they would affect my experience as a player who was mostly focused on the PVE aspect of this game.

[dreamy bluff]

U most likely won't be affected I'd say

[thin token]

now is good time, u get free easy boosts up to 1445. You wont have to face the pain most day 1 players faced bak then lol

[dreamy bluff]

If you played during release and didn't have issues with p2w, u probably won't now either

[brave rapids]

I personally don't believe in "P2W in a PvE game", like what are you winning? But you can spend money to upgrade your gear and make your PvE experience easier, if you consider that P2W. I will say though, it takes an INSANE amount of money to properly "whale" in this game. The usually $100 a month won't cut it. This game makes P2Wing hard even, since the exchange rates are so bad.

[solar knoll]

it's not pay 2 win, it's pay 2 save time

[thin token]

^ yea i was about to say this lol P2W ina pve game xD i dont understand ppl who think this

[versed wadi]

It's mostly from what I've read online, I have been trying to research the game a bit to see if it would be worth coming back

And finally I decided to ask some of it's player base for more accurate feedback

[dreamy bluff]

Pay or no pay. We are all equal before the honing gods

[brave rapids]

~~Everyone online is a little baby bitch and should get grow a pair ~~ Nah you're fine

[thin token]

yes

[versed wadi]

Alright, I'll give it a shot, I don't remember what I played so I guess it'll be fun rediscovering some things

[thin token]

raiding experience might be rough because parties will only want gigaCHADS or experienced players now but still do-able

[swift leaf]

you get fre boost to 1445, which is about 60 ilvls behind what established players have, and about 10-20 behind established players alts

[solar knoll]

I wouldn't call it a free boost to 1445 tbh

since it doesn't give you a single gold

[swift leaf]

im always amazed how people are astonished an express event can bring you up to par to what was decent ilvl 6 months ago

[thin token]

it does give u gold :d not alot doe

[brave rapids]

I think it gives you like 300 gold per reward doesn't it? It's definitely not enough to mitigate the cost of honing, but it still gives you gold

[thin token]

u get like 5k gold at the end

[solar knoll]

oh it does? I didn't notice at all xd

feels like I constantly have 0 gold even with the express event :D

[thin token]

2k at 1415 and 3k at 1445 i think somewhere like that

[dreamy bluff]

I'd say the hardest for newcomers will be trying to get into raids. Most raids now expect you to already know the mech

[thin token]

yes

[brave rapids]

L E A R N I N G P A R T I E S

[versed wadi]

I quit when I was like- midway through the campaign

So I don't know anything about lategame as of yet, school did me dirty

[thin token]

lets be real. There arent alot of learning parties and then ppl always say "just make your own group" but then group never fills or takes like 3hrs to fill

[dreamy bluff]

Yes but those are rare. Even rarer to get a support in your learning party when even experienced parties are begging for supports

[tulip copper]

Maybe if my scrapper does a supernova on me... maybe then itll be alright

[versed wadi]

What class would supports be?

[thin token]

best option would be to try to get into a friendly guild to help with raid situation

[brave rapids]

If I go in the LFG discord right now, and see more than 1 learning party title, ya'll owe me 300k gold

[thin token]

xD

[dreamy bluff]

Bard, paladin and artist(upcoming class)

[brave rapids]

Currently only Bard and Paladin. Artist probably coming out in February or something

[versed wadi]

Ah I remember Bard looking fun to play, alas it seems my main class was a sorcerer

[swift leaf]

hows artists capability of solo farming btw ?

[brave rapids]

solo farming what?

[swift leaf]

like CDs and stuff

[brave rapids]

If you make a chaos dungeon preset, should be easy..

[dreamy bluff]

No idea. It's not too bad in korea I think but that's korea and they are ages ahead of us

[swift leaf]

aight thx

[dreamy bluff]

Most classes can do choas solo just fine as long as they use a choas/DPS build

[brave rapids]

There's also a relic set that assists with chaos farming on supports - Betrayal set

[swift leaf]

yea I guess the question was pointless because I can just invest a little into cd loadout

[dreamy bluff]

I solo it on my Bard just fine even on item level. If u go in choas with a support build, prepare to suffer

[thin token]

artists can go dps and apparently that is not troll ive heard lol. Like i remember seeing streamer ATK solo valtan carry as dps artist

[hard cradle]

which is better super charge or keen blunt weapon for deathblade?

[brave rapids]

No investment needed. Just make a second skill page and pop on like double Pre-Emptive Strike engraving books or something.

Also swapping Relic Sets from your main set to the Betrayal set is free once you have 55 wings/bones

[crisp turtle]

Supercharge kinda troll on surgeblade

[swift leaf]

already using double preemptive and sometimes it feels like not enough dps if you dont oneshot stuff

at this point im willing to invest a little bit into proper loadout, thats if I dont quit the game by the point artist is released

[brave rapids]

if your class doesn't have hard hitting 1-hit abilities, but instead has a lot of small multi-hit abilities, try double Contender or double Raid Captain. Raid Captain requires you to always be standing on those little floating balls in Chaos Dungeons though

Basically anything with ATK Power on it. Contender, Raid Captain, Cursed Doll even

[crisp turtle]

And I don't think you can go kbw without adrenaline

[past reef]

Guys, Vykas HM only has new mechs on G1?

[dreamy bluff]

Honestly. I just use what ever ok offensive accs I have and put them on my bard. I think I have a 1x3 +2+1+1+1 or something for my chaos bard build

Not spending money just for chaos just so I can do it 1min faster

[brave rapids]

Yeah I'm not gonna spend money min-maxing Chaos Dungeons, but if I were, it would be like: Pre-Emptive Strike > Contender > Cursed Doll > Raid Captain > KBW

[swift leaf]

I wouldnt spent any relevant money on doing it faster, but I still have some leftover engraving selection packs, might go for Contender

[thin token]

G1: New Velganos Mech, orbs mech after stagger cannot be timestoped and cannot miss more than 2 orbs | gate mech cannot be timestopped | G2: Cannot miss any balls during the x65 mech | G3: after boss reach around 90-bars anytime she do medusa pattern 1 or 2 ppl need to look at her based on how many wings she will hold up she will do this 2 times | adds another mech at x40 bars where she spawn 4 orbs and 4 ppl have to run into them before they touch her

[dreamy bluff]

As for my DPS characters I just use my raid build with betrayal set

[past reef]

holy shit thats detailed. thanks a lot buddy

[swift leaf]

another topic, did anyone here actually suggest creating a separate channel for the newcomers/ forming any kind of learning community ?

I could use one myself

[thin token]

thats all i remember off top of my head but im pretty sure those are the only changes between hard mode and the fact she will hit harder as well

[dusky portal]

can one do islands like erasmo, allakir etc multiple times a day to attempt to get island heart?

[crisp turtle]

G1 has the velganos pizza
G2 the purple shit stuns instead of just hurts
G3 - swamp mech only has 2 swamps instead of 3
after the tentacles, theres a mech around x40 where she spawns orbs at 3/5/7/11, someone has to eat and spam spacebar
the medusa at the end requires different amounts of people to look at her, depending how many wings she has

[dreamy bluff]

I don't think Medusa is hp based. I've had her do it right as the fight begin or sometimes not at all during the whole fight

[crisp turtle]

the medusa at the beginning will always be a normal medusa

[brave rapids]

No real reason to make a Newcomer room, since only newcomers would talk with other newcomers lol, but there's a quick new player guide here #new-player-tips

[crisp turtle]

she only does the hm medusa at the end

[dusky portal]

medusa is indeed a filler move, except the one at 0 bars

[brave rapids]

Newcomers usually just come in here to ask questions, where everyone can help

[thin token]

yea i meant after 90 bars if she does it then u have to do mech

[swift leaf]

I dont mean a guide, waht I mean is newcomer groupmaking to make it easier to form raid groups

tips are widely available

[brave rapids]

Ah like somewhere where all newcomers can come together to raid together? There's a LFG section for your region, but it's not newcomer exclusive. Newcomers will most likely be under a "Learning Party" title though

[swift leaf]

aight

[past reef]

i may create one for Vykas HM, since i need to get my first HM clear

[thin token]

good luck, basic patterns are basically the same as normal mode so if u got those down then u good. Gate 1 might be rough because ppl always fail gate mechanic still

[past reef]

yeah. im pretty confident, just as its the first time im trying to clear, i get that stupid anxiety, plus i dont wanna try to sneak in on PF reclear groups and deal with the stress if i screw up 😅

since ive been doing Normal just fine

[thin token]

and w/e u do. Do not get jailed at Gate 2 or else its gonna be super rough to get out because most ppl will not get stuck on G2 so no parties

[crisp turtle]

if you can clear nm competently, hardmode will be a breeze
the few changes really dont alter the raid massively

[dreamy bluff]

If I remember at 135 she does typing, 105 bar she spawn frogs and gets a stagger bar. 75bar she does her rotating blood field thing. 55 she does tentacles, then at 0 she does she has her Medusa/stagger. I don't remember the HP req for slow/fast pull mech

[past reef]

105 is still time stoppable?

[dreamy bluff]

Yes

[crisp turtle]

yes, thats what most pugs do

[brave rapids]

Rotating Blood Field? What's that? at 75 she does Swamps <

[past reef]

rotating blood field is G2

[brave rapids]

Oh

[dreamy bluff]

Lol oh yea

[crisp turtle]

wtf is a rotating blood field

[thin token]

lol

[past reef]

its the waffle thing

[dreamy bluff]

Same boss got them confused

[brave rapids]

The maze/checkerboard floor. Me and my prog group called it waffle house lol

[thin token]

the carousel xD

[crisp turtle]

waffle pattern can happen in g3, just not with the rotating doors

[past reef]

Waffle, Checkerboard floors, Rotating blood field, do we have more names? xD

[brave rapids]

I just realized you wrote two G3 patterns, a G2 pattern, and went back to G3 patterns. That's why I was confused LOL

[dreamy bluff]

Yea

[crisp turtle]

also, whats a slow/fast pull mech

[dreamy bluff]

The little pull thing u drops and she charms you to her

[crisp turtle]

swamp?

[dreamy bluff]

Yeahhh that

Some people call it swamp some all it poops, idk anymore

[swift leaf]

imagine asking for advice and being told the encounter has twice the mechs it actually has

[brave rapids]

"Poop" are the cone-shaped stunning orbs in G2 and the lust puddles in G3

[crisp turtle]

and they have 32 different names

[fiery zinc]

what happens when u hit lvl 60, and gain combat XP? Nothing?

[brave rapids]

yeah nothing. you stop gaining combat exp

[dreamy bluff]

names are hard

[brave rapids]

I only remember a couple of NM vs HM mechanics in Vykas.
In G1: You can't timestop failed orbs/simon says.
In G1: You can be called to Velganos mech any time.
In G3: At 40x HP bars you grab the 4 blood orbs and spam spacebar

Not sure if there was anything else that changse

[silver rain]

G2 stun

[brave rapids]

What's that?

[silver rain]

the purple puddles they fire 3 little balls those stun in HM

[dreamy bluff]

I only found out yesterday that orbs in normal didn't stun. Been avoiding them like the plague

[brave rapids]

They stun in NM too don't they? Pretty sure I got wrecked by one this week in a NM

[silver rain]

yea NM dont stun you

[brave rapids]

[silver rain]

it can still cause stagger tho

[brave rapids]

I know it does something to your character, cuz this week I got fucked by one during carousel

[crisp turtle]

they push and hurt, but dont stun

[urban narwhal]

When I clear up Vern, I got a vern pass, but I swear I was told elsewhere that I would get 2. Or perhaps that pass is later on?

[buoyant herald]

you get another one when you use the first one

[brave rapids]

There's also a third one available right now for limited time

[urban narwhal]

Wot

[brave rapids]

You'll get your second free North Vern Powerpass after using your first one.

[urban narwhal]

Wait, main has just finished Shushire. Do I come back to Vern?

[brave rapids]

Yeah, North Vern should be your main hub for most things until you get to Rohendel

[urban narwhal]

And the Vern pass gets me to that point.

[brave rapids]

I think using North Vern Powerpass or Knowledge Transfer does that, yeah.

[coarse mist]

Whaat the dps for g1-4 brel? (approx)

[lofty scaffold]

how does name transfer work in this game? lets say I have a lvl 60 alt and I want to transfer it to a new alt (lvl)

[brave rapids]

aprox dps? you mean like healthbars? gearscores?

[coarse mist]

hp of each boss

[brave rapids]

you just pay for name changes i think. the level shouldnt matter iirc

[lofty scaffold]

so like if I use the name change voucher they just swap names or do I need to rename the lvl 60 then make a new alt?

[brave rapids]

Your level 60 is named like Bob, for example, you need to pay to change it's name to like Whatever. Then you either make a new alt named Bob OR pay for a second name change on your existing alt to call it Bob

[median olive]

yesterday i got dced during hm valtan g1 and logged back in a few seconds after but couldnt buy the chest and my team couldnt procceed so i quit. then i tried joining another g1 party but it said my weekly entry was already used (but g1 doesnt appear cleared yet so i cant join g2 either) am i locked out for the week or am i eligible for entry reset ticket? never had this happen to me so im not sure how it goes

[fossil linden]

Where can I get this secret map?

[lofty scaffold]

oh i see tyvm

[dapper geyser]

do frontal attacks have an innate effect like back attacks having crit?

[maiden locust]

You should get a reset ticket between 24h - 48h

[brave rapids]

Yeah it sounds like you should receive a retry ticket, but idk for sure

[maiden locust]

you need 34 maps not map 34

[median olive]

its not a specific map, its unlocking 34 secret maps total

[silver rain]

20% dmg 10% stagger dmg

[fossil linden]

Oh damn

Is it ez to get that many maps?

[brave rapids]

It's easy, just time consuming

[fossil linden]

And is there any guides to getting those?

[brave rapids]

Sort of: https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/sea-bounties-collectibles-guide

It just tells you where every map is, but not how to complete each objective.

[fossil linden]

Seas bounties are secret maps lmfao

[brave rapids]

They're the same thing.

[fossil linden]

Mb

[brave rapids]

Actually, I guess it does tell you pretty much each objective. Not detailed, but enough to know what to do.

[median olive]

if its wealth runes that you want you might also want to keep an eye out for lagoon island and omnium star dailies/rapports

[fiery zinc]

Has nobody been finding Wei Card in NA East Galatur, or is my traveling merchant notification bugged?

[brave rapids]

Those require real people to go search for them and then ping the notification. Unfortunately I think most people have stopped looking. I'm 4 cards away from completing Wei, and my server never gets pinged anymore

[crisp turtle]

https://lostmerchants.com/

[fossil linden]

Just completed omnium stars few days back, only moake is left

[fiery zinc]

So the last wei for Galatur was 11-18-2022?

[maiden locust]

anyone know the droprate for the lagoon wealth rune?

[crisp turtle]

maybe? idk

[silver rain]

took me 4 of that island to get my wealth idk what it translates to

[fossil linden]

Probably, it's a leg card doesn't spawn very often, maybe twice a month fi you are lucky

[brave rapids]

I'm just gonna spitball and say 1/5. Most people I know get it within a handful of runs of Lagoon event

[fossil linden]

Or something like that

Need another help

This is my roster rn, I don't hve 5x3 on any of them confused about should I get to 1490 first or get leg books for my 2-3 main classes first? I am scared of pushing beyond my current ilvl cuz I don't have 5x3 for clown and getting over 1475 you lose gold from argos

[brave rapids]

If you have a static, push. If you're pugging, get engravings. People usually just gatekeep engravings (although I'll be the first to say it's fucking stupid).

[fossil linden]

I don't have a static.

[thin token]

you are pretty far from 1490 with estimated dec 14th for update I wouldnt worry too much about 1490 at this point and just work on getting ur main char situated first

[brave rapids]

Get 5x3s if you're pushing for Brel. Get 4x3+2 if you're just pushing for Clowns.

[fossil linden]

And currently building a 5x3 from scratch is probably same as getting 20x class books

[crisp turtle]

5x3 for clown was massively overstated
some lobbies wont let you run without 5x3, but its not the majority
what engravings does your main have?

[fossil linden]

I have enough bound leaps and shards for 1490 it's just the gold I am worried about

[hard cradle]

rem energy or surge for db which is better?

[crisp turtle]

re is better for your mental health

[brave rapids]

Surge is better with our content content, but once bosses get fast/hard enough, they even out due to players missing most DPS windows for an optimal Surge combo

[fossil linden]

Budget build

[brave rapids]

Surge will top RE though if we're talking about "perfect scenarios"

[thin token]

Oo ok if u have the leapstones then thats good, so then yea would be up to you if u want to push. hmmm idk doe I would rather work on 5x3 ur char especially since currently many engraving book price went down with frog shop

I am trying to 5x3 most my roster with this current event advantage

[crisp turtle]

the engravings are more than good enough to get accepted to clown
the only thing you might be denied for is the fact you're still running legendary jewellery, especially on a neck/earring means you're losing a lot of stats (i assume spec)

[fossil linden]

Even tho books prices went down any decent barrage +3 accs starts with 100k xD

[hard cradle]

which engravings for db 4x3

[brave rapids]

Which spec? Surge or RE?

[thin token]

u do legendary ring 3/3class

[hard cradle]

surge

[fossil linden]

Yes I kinda fucked that up should have gotten 2x leg ring

I came to know that after I built it

[brave rapids]

Surge > Grudge > Ambush > Adrenaline

KBW or Cursed Doll 5th

[crisp turtle]

RE:
re/supercharge/grudge/ambush
Surge
Surge/grudge/ambush/adren

[brave rapids]

My RE DB has 5x3+1 build 😼 just wanted to brag

[fossil linden]

I think I will get the barrage books first then push 1490 then get 5x3 in that order

[thin token]

You keep 1 legendary ring with it being ur +3 class / +3 grudge or something. To make 5x3 build. If u have double legendary engraving which it seems u have 1 already

[fossil linden]

Yes I was thinking the same, I came up with this setup, almost made the mistake of getting leg neck xD

[brave rapids]

I think what most people do is get a high quality relic neck with a +5 / +0 engraving

[fossil linden]

But will that add up tho?

I am really bad at making these calculations lol

[crisp turtle]

you can cheap out on quality on neck, because sometimes the two stats are unbalanced
you can find a 50/60 quality neck with maxed spec, and jst low crit

[thin token]

he needs a 7/7 rock and then he would need a 5/3(class) if he goes +5/0 neck

[thin token]

seems ok to me but u want high quality necklace so if u cant find one with those engravings then swap those engraving with one of ur ring engraving and get a legendary ring

[brave rapids]

yeah that ^ you ned a 5/3 class accessories if u want the 5/0 neck

but neck gives most stats, where you can possibly get a cheap low qual 5/3 class ring and only miss out on like 10-20 stats

[fossil linden]

Isn't it better to get a 3/3 leg rint then? Cuz 100k for a class accs is too much I feel, and that's also not perfect

[cobalt wind]

how much gold do i get from valtan normal ?

[brave rapids]

is it still 100k at low quality?

[crisp turtle]

3300

[thin token]

actually yea dont do class engraving on necklace I just realized u have class on neck lol dont do that

[brave rapids]

oh, you have class on necklace? you ALWAYS want that on ring

[fossil linden]

Normally yes, wouldn't say low but maybe 70-80 but I feel like if I am paying 100k I need a 100 1 😄

[crisp turtle]

love these sweeping statements
you don't ALWAYS want it on a ring
you want it on the cheapest piece you can find

[fossil linden]

Ye I told you i fucked up there have to change that with a ring

[brave rapids]

i mean typically its gonna be cheapest on ring cuz it has the lowest amount of stats so you lose less power even if you go cheap qual ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fossil linden]

Ring is normally the cheapest and can go leg if I have to

[crisp turtle]

both of those statements are true

and neither of them say "ALWAYS GET CLASS ON A RING"

[fossil linden]

Hopefully will complete barrage books nxt week if prices stays the same

[crisp turtle]

id wait, they'll drop again on wednesday

[silver rain]

yea price drops at Wed and thur the goes up liltle as the week progress

[fossil linden]

I will have to complete all the raids anyway to get all the books so yea

[thin token]

so bak to original, I would just work on getting 5x3 while prices are somewhat lower than normal due to the frog event. Instead of pushing 1490 for brel, that is just my opinion. Imagine u push 1490 just to get gatekept by parties since u dont have a static

[fossil linden]

Have they confirmed breh for 14th dec?

[thin token]

nah but ppl guessing it will be then since the frog away at that time. Last time ppl guessed reaper release at this time and it was true so who knows

[crisp turtle]

id push 1475 asap tbh
your engravings are fine for clown, and wont be the reason you're not accepted to groups
the reason you won't be accepted is because you don't have the title, and thats just going be become a more frequent requirement as time goes on
there are still plenty of prog/learning groups for clown every day
but every day that number goes down

[silver rain]

Roxx said they want to push dec patch before the holidays and events/login board end around that unless they will be working on 21/28 dec it has to be 14 dec for Dec patch

[brave rapids]

They're gonna push out a patch on December 14, it's gonna be full of absolutely vile bugs and glitches, but they've gone on a 2 week Holiday and won't be back until new years, and come the January 4th maintenance, everyone is gonna have negative pheons, gold, engravings, shards, and even character slots

[crisp turtle]

yeah, cos every patch we get is completely broken right?
oh... wait, no its not

[brave rapids]

I'm not even sure we play the game game anymore Jonesy. Hit me up with your client cuz it must be perfect

[thin token]

smh lol

[silver rain]

i mean if there's any bug they can still do hotfix maint. before the holidays

[quaint terrace]

[versed wadi]

Thanks

[silver rain]

restart steam should work for most of the time if not restart internet router or verify game files

[quaint terrace]

I'll try, thanks

[fossil linden]

I c

[fossil linden]

But wont it be easier to do clown being 1490? Cuz I think I suck at dodging ngl

[crisp turtle]

tl;dr
cards are a long-term end game system to boost offensive and defensive capabilities of your character
you collect cards and sets of cards to give passive bonuses
and can equip one set of cards for an active bonus
cards are upgraded (awakened) as you collect duplicates

[crisp turtle]

i mean yeah, if you can push 1490 push 1490
i think thats what everyone should do if they're capable of doing so
you don't have to do brelshaza, you can continue doing valtan/vykas/clown to get gold for 5x3
but just having access to new chaos dungeons/boss rush/guardian raids will be massive

[wise spade]

is lost ark available/playable on steam deck?

[fossil linden]

Yes that's 100% my plan, get 1490 before breh and make some gold fromdselling dailies hopefully idc about breh much tb very honest

[thin token]

yea thats good if u can do that. 1472-1490 is pretty aids doe lol but u said u have alot of leapstones so u should be good. I am pushing 1490s and my biggest and only problem is bound leapstones, I always run out. I do like 1-2 tap per day now with hopium each time lol

[fossil linden]

I c, there's this sheet where it says how much you will be needing to get here to there on average so I do have the average leaps and shards

And my wep is also 1490

[thin token]

oh yea u should be good then especially u got the weapon out the way already

[fossil linden]

Ye wep burns your leaps hard

[crisp turtle]

dude
im on that 1-2 tap a day pain right now on my last 2 alts
its so miserable

[thin token]

yea it sucks lol I was pretty mad about my sorc. I did this up until 98% artisian weapon and it suceeded 1 tap away from pity. Like I would have rather pity at that point lol

[fossil linden]

Here people can't get their mains 1490 and you getting alts noice

[thin token]

xD well its different for us we been playing since like launch most likely. I have atleast

[crisp turtle]

thats what happens when you play like a degenerate for 8months

[thin token]

[burnt sapphire]

[crisp turtle]

my sharpshooter had 2k bound leapstones
i was like, this has got to be enough right
2k leapstones later, and he's sitting at 1480...(from 1475)

[thin token]

yep it do be like that

[maiden locust]

whatever you think it more fun

[tropic cipher]

i open 5 legendary cards today and 3 of them were Guardian Luen

i need mental help

[lunar jetty]

Hey, I play machinist, I recently hit lvl 50 and can't see a skill "Energy Buster" anywhere in my skills, am I supposed to do something to get it or ?

[dapper geyser]

does KR have more ways of whaling for rapport?

[crisp turtle]

its probably the skill you unlock by doing your awakening quest

[inner wing]

https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/awakening-guide

[dapper geyser]

you can powerpass any character to punika and unlock it automatically if u wanna skip the questing process

mb tho if u recently hit 50 ur just at vern

[snow wadi]

any tool where I can see different skins on different characters?
or even a way to view ingame stuff with differnet chars without relogging?

[maiden locust]

Can i change the "Hyper Express Plus" event from one character to a different one? Just like we could in the Special event mission

[snow wadi]

iirc you can change it until you use the %honing buff

but don't quote me

[tulip prawn]

doesn't SV cost the same?

isn't it better to get SV instead of Punika

[snow wadi]

That's just blue crystals, no? same amount, same price

[tulip prawn]

but like, if you buy SV, then you basically unlocked everything until South Vern

[snow wadi]

That's not a powerpass

That's a blue crystal chest

contains nothing but 2,6k bc

[tulip prawn]

oh

[lunar jetty]

Ah didn't know this, Thanks everyone for help !
