lost-ark-help

[errant root]

that doesn't change anything, it's still the north-most position

[rose jewel]

yep, we just say x3+1 and we dont need to pick anything, we know where to go

[pseudo atlas]

i have seen both x3+1 and pick spot groups

[rose jewel]

i havent seen for the longest time a group that needs to pick their positions, the only one are vykas orbs/shadows

[pseudo atlas]

there is no north-most position when it's northwest and northeast

[crisp turtle]

thats the only benefit then
i guess the reason we do positions is because it doesnt work for nesw, i mean nesw+1 people could probably work out

but i have no problem taking an extra 10s for people to assign positions

it also allows people to take positions they're more comfortable with, for vykas g1 anyway

[errant root]

that's never the thing it's like 1pm and the other is like 10am or something

[pseudo atlas]

well...vykas gate 1

[errant root]

and even then, adjusting clockwise should be obvious

[crisp turtle]

tell that to anyone doing albion

[rose jewel]

unless the only clocks you have ever seen in your life are digital, clock positions are kind of.. easy

[pseudo atlas]

obvious to who, people can barely find positions let alone adjust them

[errant root]

albion people just spread out wherever you get fucked by it anyways and clear regardless

[edgy tulip]

anyone know what special characters i can use for char names

[pseudo atlas]

what does it even matter, people have set the way they position in different communities and neither way is extremely complex so you can just pick it up easily

[crisp turtle]

because people are 🤡

[rose jewel]

albion is a special case because that's an abyss dungeon where a lot of new people dont know what the fuck is going on

[pseudo atlas]

i heard albion has a safe spot in the north of the map but i have never actually tried it

[rose jewel]

legions and above have kind of... community rules already dictated, either NESW and x3 are good, pick what you want, but you should learn both for if you get one then the other in dif. groups, they are both extremely easy to learn, there is literally no reason not to know them

[edgy imp]

should i just be using EnergyC on-cooldown, or try and line it up with every other RoC & WW?

[crisp turtle]

with the right cooldown gems, you can get it to explode every other ww/roc

[errant root]

that's gettting very common though

[crisp turtle]

you'll need to play around with your cooldown gems and swiftness to find the right combination

[rose jewel]

energy combustion, if you have it at lv10, there is one explosion at the end, it turns red then boom, after that you can cast it again, early on the cd is way higher so just cast cast

extra damage, extra identity bar

[crisp turtle]

he's playing fi

[rose jewel]

or if you want, extra reduced damage

eww fi that's why i typed that extra line

have you restarted your pc and reinstalled steam?

[errant root]

check the details tab

[pseudo atlas]

have you tried hitting "stop" from steam

has happened to me a few times

[rose jewel]

restarting your pc can do wonders, trust

[errant root]

if you find that, kill it and then try to relaunch

[rose jewel]

do you exit lost ark like.. Alt+F4 or pressing the "Exit" option ingame

do you have any other game that uses EAC

[fossil linden]

Nope, it clearly says I have been banned for using fsome known cheating software

[timber mauve]

That normally means botting.

[rose jewel]

but not opened at the same time right, or do you open apex then close then lost ark

[fossil linden]

Yes but the thing is I didn't use any bot

[errant root]

did you let them update?

[rose jewel]

by this point, i would just google the answer .-. i honestly have no idea as i never had that issue myself

[fossil linden]

Might be I am not sure

[rose jewel]

that wasnt for you tho it was for scal

[fossil linden]

Oh mb

[rose jewel]

now for you, did you use any kind of macross

[fossil linden]

But I did get eac banned before the ban screen

Nope

I do use autohotkey tho for a different reason that always runs in behind

[rose jewel]

well duh, that's your answer

99% sure that's why you got beaned

[fossil linden]

It's a simple script cuz the alt key on my keyboard doesn't work

[rose jewel]

say that to EAC

[errant root]

did you play any other games recently and they worked fine?

[rose jewel]

eac is already stupid enough, i bet that alarmed him

[fossil linden]

But I have been running this even before la released and never had any issue

[rose jewel]

shrugs

[fossil linden]

Plus another funny thing is

[rose jewel]

i cant say im an expert and i know for sure that's the reason, but its probably the reason

[fossil linden]

I have 2 accs, and before the ban I was logged into another one liek 20sec prior and that account isn't vbanned

It's so weird

[rose jewel]

having 2 steam accs is against ToS, that's another flag

[fossil linden]

Tos of la?

Or steam?

[rose jewel]

again, we cant really help too much on your case, we can only speculate what flagged you at this point, your only way is thru amazon tickets / ban appeals

[errant root]

I feel like you got some windows files corrupted, shit can happen. if similar things happen with other games you could test to be more sure. Or just see if you can run some of the windows tools to repair stuff (system things, not the 3rd party stuff that's... yea well you never know what they do)

[fossil linden]

Ye but the ban reason says using cheat program

[rose jewel]

maybe you are one of the few that got flagged accidentally, maybe you're hiding something, we dont know and may never know

[fossil linden]

Sure

[rose jewel]

maybe im Roxx in disguise, you never know

(i am not)

[fossil linden]

In case you are roxx in disguise, my ign is Rawxdogger unban ty

[rose jewel]

on it
i mean
appeal on website plz

[fossil linden]

I did

20 TIMES

[rose jewel]

there were some people at the forums telling you how to actually speak with human beings, since i think they deleted the live chat option from the site, maybe look for that

[fossil linden]

Hopefully

Another funny thing is they wont tell me what they detected as a cheating software even tho they have banned me for it

[rose jewel]

they probably never will

[pallid panther]

Another good day to be stuck on loading

[rose jewel]

every day is a good day for bugs

[pallid panther]

I dont even know what to do anymore, it doesnt happen everytime but its pretty annoying been this way since last patch

I was thinking on reinstalling the game maybe the drivers

But i asked for help yesterday and a guy said it was happening to him as well

[rose jewel]

its more than probably one of the many DCs EUC NAE and SA are having since godknowswhen

[pallid panther]

So thats caused by a dc ? basically

[rose jewel]

probably yes

[pallid panther]

Cause it doesnt show on task manager that isnt responding

Like show running it normal but the screen just not load

[rose jewel]

i saw a dude saying that he was getting DCed mid loading, so its probably that

remember that when you dc you can still run around in the game, it doesnt totally freeze

[pallid panther]

That is probably the reason.. prob just have to wait until some new maintenance and patch fix.

[rose jewel]

but ofc the loading never loads coz you got dced already

[somber mantle]

That happened to me so many times

[pallid panther]

At least i dont dc in the middle of the dungeons.. its just when loading something

[somber mantle]

I have had it weeeeeks ago surely they'll fix it soon yep yep

[pallid panther]

So either i dont connect

[rose jewel]

forreal

[somber mantle]

Might have even been months

[pallid panther]

Or i connect and play normally for the entire day

[pallid panther]

For me is happening since the last patch went live, like last month i did not have any issues the entire month

[somber mantle]

Yeah lovely isn't it

[rose jewel]

my favorite game, lost ark russian roulette, you either play or dc

[pallid panther]

Yeah... thats sad, i know it already happened before but it was very rare, and im feeling its more frequent now

Like i played the entire afternoon, just logged in and had that issue

[rose jewel]

it has been going for a whole month by now so dates are correct

they are still trying to figure out what the f* is happening, so

stay strong dude

one of those days

[fossil linden]

1 more question

If I ever feel like egtting a fresh start is it better to start in kr instead of na/eu?

[rose jewel]

you cant even play in kr if you dont have an ID or something

[errant root]

is there an option to turn that aoe circle thing around my pet off?

[rose jewel]

or SSN or something of the sort

[fossil linden]

I think you can just pay for those kind of things that shouldn't be a problem, excluding that what would be your answer?

[rose jewel]

if you're ok with not being able to read the UIs, or probably even communicate on raids and probably get kicked coz you dont understand shit, kr is always gonna get updates first, i personally wouldn't for those reasons and probably high ping and more

but if you want, go ahead, i personally would not, but some do play in there

[fossil linden]

They had english patch didn't they?

[rose jewel]

besides not as many bots and proper client, isntead of steam shit

lol no, there is no such thing as official english client/patch, it's all modded (from what i know)

if you want specifics, probably get the kr role #navigation maybe people in there can help you more

[fossil linden]

Ye not official but many people used it I heard like not bannable or anything

[cunning oriole]

hey i just came back to the game however i play on moonkeep server but its not there anymore and my characters have been moved to a server called Nia however the server is basically dead and i checked the other server elyn or something and its the same. i would like help to understand whats going on

[rose jewel]

EUW?

[cunning oriole]

yeah

[errant root]

unlucky

[rose jewel]

its not the server, its the whole region

[cunning oriole]

whats going on?

[rose jewel]

the thing is

euw was created after the servers open, it was just to help with all the queues in euc and blabla, very few people actually went in there, so the population was always low, there were like 10 servers and they were even way way emptier than they are now

they all merged into two, that helped for things like islands and pvp, but the low pop stays the same

also, 99% of the people are already in high tier 3, end game, if you're barely starting there are gonna be only bots for sure

there are people yes, not as many as EUC, but they exist, but dont expect to see any real player in luterra or annika or arthethine

even the most populated regions are extremely dead early on (tier 1 and 2)

and that's thanks to the global goning buffs, you zoom thru t1 and t2 with 100% chance and skipping hones, they gift you a lot of things (even a punika powerpass for the current event including an express up to 1445)

if you are extremely early in the game, a lot of people are gonna recommend jumping ships to EUC and start there instead

[cunning oriole]

i feel like starting in a new in euc

[timber mauve]

Basically, if you’re below 1460, I’d reroll.

Tbh, I’d prolly still reroll even if I was over that.

[cunning oriole]

ive forgotten everything and was thinking of starting again

[rose jewel]

great time to do so then

[cunning oriole]

if i do go euc which servers are active ?

[rose jewel]

reaper released 2 weeks ago, summoner gonna release in 2 weeks

95% of QoL from kr arrived in the west

[cunning oriole]

whaats qol

[errant root]

all are active I think, mine is active at least and I haven't heaerd of anyone saying theirs is bad on EUC.
there are some that get the busy flag every now and then but I don't really remember which and not really too much reason to go there.

[rose jewel]

quality of life

[timber mauve]

I mean, pretty much all important stuff like raids and dungeons are region wide.

[cunning oriole]

i just dont want to get to endgame and find the pop low if that makes sense?

[errant root]

that shouldn't be an issue

[rose jewel]

region alive = pop high

again, what icy said, important stuff is region wide, all queues/party find for legion raids, guardian raids etc are region wide

[cunning oriole]

hhmmmm okay

well guess its time to grind

[rose jewel]

glhf and hopefully you're not one of the few with DC issues

[cunning oriole]

i have no ided what you just said @rose jewel

[normal topaz]

hello, after 6 characters...400 hours and doing other things in the game i finally reach item level 1370..and i cant figure out how argos is supposed to work if someone has a moment to clarify things for me, i would be very grateful

[rose jewel]

just enjoy the game

[timber mauve]

Watch a video guide on it.
The raid is split into three gates (checkpoints). You should complete all three in one go if you can.

[rose jewel]

1- you can look up a guide, a video guide is even better, so it explains the different mechanics of the fight
2- you can ask about specifics on how the mechanics work

[timber mauve]

Or you can just buy a bus (carry) for it.

[normal topaz]

i can see gate 1 to 3, but looking through the party finder there is also phase 1 to 3 is that the same?

[timber mauve]

Yeah, was called phases but it was changed.

[cunning oriole]

okay guys thanks for the help

[normal topaz]

i did looked up a guide, i just thought i miss something because of the phases

[rose jewel]

same thing as gates

[normal topaz]

why do i want to do all 3 in one go?

[rose jewel]

because you can, more profit, more gold, more mats, more all

[timber mauve]

Everyone does all three. If you just do one, you’re gonna have a hard time finding a group to do only g2-3 or something. Also vastly more gold/rewards for clearing more gates.

[normal topaz]

alright. what means dusk 1 gate 1

[rose jewel]

🤔

[timber mauve]

Prolly moon and sun

[hollow violet]

Hello 👋
I am looking for some assistance to see maybe someone here knows-
I am looking forward to do a quest chain for free punika powerpass, and as per info online, I have to do all purple quests in Punika. The quest that gives the pass is Berver's Friend and I need Honorary Punikan quest which suppose to be available after I have completed Passionate Red Cloth quest. But it is not here.
Question - why I cannot see Honorary Punikan quest?

[normal topaz]

alright thanks for the clarifications 🙂

[rose jewel]

mind sharing a pic of your map when you're at punika? to see if its there or not

[hollow violet]

in a minute sure, can provide some sss

[inland mist]

Did you find a solution to this?

[errant root]

also make sure you take all the chests on your first clear, where it says pay x gold to take the chest, you get gold from clearing and the rewards in there are important on your first clear (and still decent later on, depends what you are aming for at that point)

(there will be a button on the right where this menu comes in)

[normal topaz]

i will thank you...if i even can get a party lol there is a lot of selling going on aparently

[errant root]

you can also take one of the selling partys, you still go out positive in the end it's not too bad (as long as they aren't for like more than 2k), just don't join those with a website in the title... but they probably won't let you join anyways idk never tried

[timber mauve]

You get more gold than the bus (carry) costs. That’s why a lot of people do them.

[normal topaz]

really?

[rose jewel]

bus costs around 1.2k, raid gives you 2.7k total

[timber mauve]

Costs like 1k for a bus but you get like 2.7k or something for Argos g1-3.

[normal topaz]

ohhh

[remote parrot]

why does this not sell? I thought this is useful for reapers?

[rose jewel]

but you gotta need to have the gold beforehand to pay upfront most of the times

[normal topaz]

and it really is customery to pay upfront

[remote parrot]

or am i not getting smthing

[rose jewel]

you are not getting a buyer, clearly

[hollow violet]

it suppose to be here where I marked red, but it is not for some reason.

[errant root]

might just have to be more patient

[rose jewel]

because it probably has other pre-reqs and you havent cleared them, you still have yellow quests around the map

but that's not the map i want an ss from, i want a pic of nia village

[hollow violet]

you think I should clear all yellow quests also?

[rose jewel]

what is that light pink in the middle

[rose jewel]

oh ok ignore that for now

yeah i believe you should be doing the yellows then

actually, you can go to lostarkcodex.com and check all the required prereqs

[hollow violet]

they are all done as per this website

[rose jewel]

hmm

[hollow violet]

including official post of all adventure quests, which they include "(purple quests)" in brackets. which I was confused if such yellow quests with this icon as per screenshot is considered as "Adventurer Quests"

[rose jewel]

i dont think i have seen someone have this issue with the berver's friend (or the prereqs)

those are chain quests, sometimes they are gated daily and usually, not always, contain good rewards, sometimes rosterwide

just finish all of them imo, shouldnt take more than 30 mins or so, maybe a bit more

[hollow violet]

I will go ahead and start clearing all those yellows anyways, nothing much else I can do.

Thanks @rose jewel for taking a look at this!

[rose jewel]

the last thing i can think of is you not being 1302 yet, but i dont think that's even a req

[hollow violet]

from Nia you get the purple quest which requires you to get to 1340 in order to start south vern, which I thought maybe it is counting towards that all purple quests prereq, so I've done that quest and now I have 0 quests in progress in Punika.

[rose jewel]

nah that's automatically given to you when you reach 1340 and for that you gotta go to north vern

completely unrelated to the powerpass

[hollow violet]

yeah so I went, but did not complete it. ^ figured the same, just to get that purple out of Punika's adventure quest in-progress list.

[rose jewel]

do you have any purple quest in your quest log by any chance

[hollow violet]

for Punika, no

[rose jewel]

"J"

[hollow violet]

you know what

[rose jewel]

i dont, do tell

[hollow violet]

found it here and now I have wasted around 3 hours searching for it

[rose jewel]

i kind of figured but yeah..

[hollow violet]

I do apologize for wasting your time, have a good da!

[rose jewel]

glhf

[hollow violet]

[fiery zinc]

[timber mauve]

Only when the boss is weak to holy damage.

[untold depot]

can someone explain to me what the below 302 roster lvl 3 days thing mean?

for a fresh account

[austere creek]

for gear set conversion is the material roster bound or character?

[rose jewel]

char

[ripe sedge]

Curious, is there any way to search for a player in the game on your current server?

[pseudo atlas]

pretty sure it's supposed to say that if your highest roster ilvl is below 302, using that pass on a character will lock gold from that character for 3 days

it says it in a profoundly stupid way even for lost ark standards

[untold depot]

what does locking gold do?

i cant spend any gold for 3 days?

[pseudo atlas]

means you can't use it on the marketplace or trade it

[untold depot]

oh ok then

ohh was it suppose to block the credit card fraud thingy

make a new account, buy a shet ton of royal crystal convert to gold and send gold to main or someshet

[pseudo atlas]

yes that is supposedly the intent

[ripe sedge]

Are you guys having DC issues now? I'm in Vykas g2 and people get DC'ed a lot now.

[errant root]

Is there a way to turn off the aoe whatever buff thing around my pet?

[rose jewel]

you're attempting to buy the item when the timer ends, of course it will take both gold and pheons on the bid

[errant root]

I don't think there is any downside no... well there kinda is, whenever you bid, the pheons get reserved, so if you bid on multiple things at once and then find something new you wanna bid on but the others didn't run out/finish yet, you might find yourself out of pheons

[rose jewel]

if you ever get outbid or you lose the bid, everything is returned

no

whoever is willing to pay more wins, plain simple

[errant root]

also if you bid on something and then you find something better and don't want that anymore, but nobody outbids you, then you will have to take it

[rose jewel]

also that, you cant cancel a bid if no one outbids you

[unkempt breach]

does anyone know if there is a deadeye community guide

actually I should probably ask that question in deadeye chat

[shy yarrow]

[wary panther]

How can I see my team mates skill effects?

[ripe sedge]

Trying to figure out why DC so much in Vykas / Valtan / Clown... Bots can't farm these raids, so whats overloading the servers for these raids?

[ornate prism]

yea already 5 times dc

i wonder why

[somber mantle]

Enable it in settings

[rose jewel]

ask amazon or smile gate
oh wait
not even they know

[ripe sedge]

5th DC in this ONE Vykas, and this time I got ejected out of game entirely. Had to reboot it then rush back into game then back into Vykas.

This is absolutely ridiclious tonight.

Never had DC's this bad before (for me)

[tropic cipher]

they said they're investigating

[ripe sedge]

They said that 2 weeks ago, and made us go thru 3 consecutive days of maintainence and nothing got fixed.

Sorry, feeling super cranky rn cuz I've been in Vykas for 2 hours due to all these DC's

[buoyant cypress]

if using powerpass, what's smartest way to get to 1445 from 1415? I currently have preordained armor (argos) x5 at lvl 16/16/16/15/15 and chosen (chaos dung) weapon at 15. What's smartest way to rush 1445?

[pseudo atlas]

just get everything to 17

[errant root]

I did gloves to 18 because I used the books we got from login for 17-18 (and shoulder if you have some left)
but aside from that usually just everything to +17,

[maiden locust]

why cant i buy this i have 40k gold

[pseudo atlas]

gold purchased with rc is withheld for 3 days, can't use it on anything except npc/honing/crafting

[maiden locust]

oh

i cant buy crystals as well ?

[errant root]

nothing from the market

[pseudo atlas]

anything that is trading gold from player to player

[maiden locust]

ok

[little topaz]

Anyone know how to promote someone to guild deputy?

[errant root]

just go to the guildmember tab, right click and set position

[coral umbra]

last 2 days when closing lost ark, lostark client remains in the process list in task manager, can't start lost ark again, nor end that process, and in process list there is a suspended process lostark.exe, but can't kill it. only fix for this I found that works is restarting windows, anyone know anything about this?

yesterday one streamer had to end stream and restart pc too for this

I suspect it happens when disconnect happens in loading screen or when quitting the game, game remains in unclosable state

before disconnect would boot you from game and close it, but that was changed

[rigid plank]

I got the same thing today, my current fix is restarting pc, dont know of any surefire way to close the game without restarting as of now

[wraith basin]

that happened to me for the first time today too

[rose jewel]

known issue (not by amazon probably), you either kill EAC or just plain restart your pc

[brazen leaf]

What is crit rate cap?

95% or 100%?

[shy yarrow]

[coral umbra]

what is EAC process called? I found it EasyAntiCheat.exe

[rose jewel]

100

[brazen leaf]

Is it? I thought you can't get 100% base crit rate except if it's already in built into your class?

[coral umbra]

some skill tropods give a lot of crit rate so getting 100% is possible

[rose jewel]

innate crit, tripods, buffs, synergy, idk i think its pty easy to get 100

[echo owl]

red dragon horn tripod moment

[short hollow]

Does legion raid require you to finish the south vern story quest ?

[pseudo atlas]

yes, you need to do it at least once to unlock legion for the roster

[short hollow]

I see

[wet dagger]

is there a google doc that says how much mats you need to get from this level to that level? (1300 to 1370)

i feel like ive seen something like this before but cant remember where

[timber mauve]

Maxroll.gg has a calculator.

[echo owl]

who knows

[late vine]

can you equip two relic rings or earrings that have the same name?

[wet dagger]

is there anything in game that gives simple oreha fusion material? or do i gotta buy them in marketplace

[hallow relic]

become a life skiller or live off the farm

[wet dagger]

is stronghold the best way to get them?

[idle needle]

Yes (you used to not be able to, but that changed several months ago)

That's what I would aim for. It would be a huge upgrade

[wet dagger]

does leap essence work for fishing or just teh gathering ones like mining/cutting trees/gatehring flowers

[idle needle]

Yes, it's a savings of between 10-20% to craft them yourself vs buying. You can check your region's pricing and how much you save here: https://www.lostarkmarket.online/north-america-east/crafting/special/fusion-material/basic-oreha-fusion-material-2-1

[wet dagger]

ok ty, stupid question

why does the stronghold cost more for the tier 2 caldarr then the tier 3 oreha fusion? am i missing something

why would tier 2 cost more mats

[echo owl]

because upgrading t2 no longer requires those

and the sh recipe is not updated to account for it

[minor warren]

do we need max life energy to enter platinum field? like will gathering deplete it

[tulip copper]

Everytime i restart my pc steam shows lost ark as "running" but it neither closes nor launches wtf

[mild tapir]

Platinum doesn’t consume life energy so none

[tulip copper]

anyone know how to actually stop the game? it doesnt show up on the task manager and it doesnt go away even after restarting the pc

[pseudo atlas]

try force closing eac

[tulip copper]

it doesnt show up on the task manager

even when i restart steam it automatically launches with running status. first time experiencing this wtf

[halcyon cloak]

i want to main swap to aeromancer when it comes out but my current main is not at 1490 its at 1477, should i start saving to swap mains or hone to 1490

[crisp turtle]

1490
We could still be waiting like 6 months for aero
I'd keep going with this main to atleast 1490, then wait for next roadmap and see if it says anything about aero

[halcyon cloak]

ok thank you

[jagged portal]

new player here, after finishing all of the main story on my first character south vern. should i bother with sidequests since i kinda skipped them all, or try to make alts and make gold.

[rose jewel]

uhh, when you powerpass a character (punika in this case coz its the highest one and its free) you get all the yellow quests one time roster rewards, but specifically talking about south vern, you can get a couple of card packs, so people usually do SV yellow quests

wont take you more than like 30 to 40 mins, then you can focus on alts

[jagged portal]

my main character dosnt have the side quest

should i switch mains and use punika pass on it

so it has all the side quest

[rose jewel]

no

you cant even use a punika pass if your main is already past punika

[jagged portal]

is the knowledge transfer worth it

is that like a power pass but with gold

[timber mauve]

No. Knowledge transfer (outside of the first north Vern one) requires you to get the ilvl. Knowledge transfer is simply you paying gold to skip doing the story.

[jagged portal]

so i have to gear up the characters myself its not like the powerpass

but it skips the story for me

[rose jewel]

and only the story yes, and it takes 8hrs to complete

[maiden locust]

Apparently a lot of people have this problem

[modest path]

anyone got the honing calculator for brelz normal gear?

[maiden locust]

https://loa.icepeng.com/refining

[pseudo atlas]

could also just use maxroll and swap to kr honing calc i think

[maiden locust]

maxroll got a kr version ?

[edgy imp]

aside from rebooting, no, i have not found a solution yet.

[dusty abyss]

hi, do we get more xp in chaos if it is 4 man party compared to solo ? ( trying to get my chara to 60 asap)

I was able to fix mine by ending a process called "gameinputsvc.exe" although it can still be a bit messy. Sometimes it works right away and sometimes i needed to also log off of my user account but not restart the whole pc

No. And there is no need to rush to 60

[inland mist]

I started to get it too :c

Maybe you can find a solution here

What are the breakpoint for what cards you can get from doing abyss runs. Is it just thirain from all, azena/innana from phantom palace onward and shandi from ark of arrogance and up? (Not interested in nin)

[edgy imp]

i had two instances of the "Game Input Host Service". killing those didn't seem to do anything. gonna re-log into windows and see if that does anything. would rather not have to re-log/re-boot every time this happens tho.

[inland mist]

Exactly the problem I'm having, doesn't seem like they have a solution besides restarting too but tysm for the thread!

[maiden locust]

yeah looks like it’s cringe as fuck and most people fixed it killing multiple times process related to steam/EAC/loa and restarting multiple times

[radiant flame]

No shandi should be from vern and up. Balthorr is from yorn and up

[edgy imp]

relogging does nothing for me. guess i'll have to keep rebooting.

[inland mist]

Yeah, I had to try end task on the task manager but the problem wouldn't stop. Restarting was the only option for me. Idk what "fixes" we've been having to disconnects but this is no bueno for sure to put it lightly

[bold gate]

Unlucky. Sorry it didnt work for you

[maiden locust]

it wouldn’t be the true lost ark if there’s no new problem everyday

[pseudo atlas]

odds are they are throwing shit at the wall to try to combat disconnects and also bots and failing at both

[sage slate]

What's a support union?

I mean I can guess but how is it supposed to function?

[rose jewel]

ignore those posts for your own good

[rigid plank]

Tl;dr you pay them gold so they can be in your party

[radiant flame]

Feel like nothing that uses bots can be a good thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[rose jewel]

they made a zerk bot for a support union, how more cringe can they get

[timber mauve]

Never seen that before.

[weak gate]

im shopping for relic accessories to get my 4x3 setup, but im going to end up with alot of low quality stuff. Like very low qual. am i fucking myself?

[radiant flame]

Yes

[rose jewel]

its cheap for a reason

[echo owl]

4x3 with high qual shouldnt be a problem though

[pseudo atlas]

if it's lower than 40 then you might as well buy leg

[radiant flame]

Well, actually, it’s not awful as you may well replace for 5x3

[weak gate]

guys im talking about a 500gold earring thats 13 qual

[pseudo atlas]

that's a huge waste of pheons

[radiant flame]

But yeah, on 4x3 I’m not sure why you’re settling

[radiant flame]

The pheons alone are 5k

[weak gate]

i didnt even consider the pheon costs...

[pseudo atlas]

you could probably get a leg piece equivalent for less gold and less pheons

[rose jewel]

not probably, he will for sure

[radiant flame]

If you are buying relic gear in some respects a “cheap” item is just not “worth it” because you’re already spending so much in pheons

[timber mauve]

Must be nice having low blue crystal prices

[pseudo atlas]

what's your bc price at?

[timber mauve]

Around 3.5k

[rose jewel]

2.9

[timber mauve]

It dropped? Fuсk

[pseudo atlas]

damn that's like 6-7k for 25 pheons

wait i miscalced that's 7-8k at 3.5k

[rose jewel]

naw is 2.9

[weak gate]

So what should i do then? No one is accepting my alt into shit. Trying to fix her

[timber mauve]

Goddamnit

[radiant flame]

Then fix her properly 🤷🏻‍♂️

What alt is it

[weak gate]

reaper

[rose jewel]

[pseudo atlas]

rip

[radiant flame]

Ha rip

[pseudo atlas]

fixing the accs probably won't even help unless you go 5x3

[rose jewel]

im 4x3+2, 1k stats, full relic and i still get denied, live with it

for the next 2 months youre gonna get denied from most things

[weak gate]

im not bitching about it, im trying to fix her up

i wouldnt invite myself

[radiant flame]

I mean what are you right now?

[weak gate]

1415

[pseudo atlas]

the issue is everyone and their mom is running reaper and also half of them are bad at it so people are just denying reapers as a whole

[radiant flame]

Like, nothing?

[timber mauve]

I get denied with relic 2pc and good engravings/stats.

[radiant flame]

With what, no engravings?

[weak gate]

basiclaly, got 2x3

[maiden locust]

for reaper you better tend to get a static or mates to help you because clearly there’s much gatekeeping on the class en whatever build you are running

[weak gate]

honestly probably true

[timber mauve]

I’d suggest guild runs or something. Or just buy buses

[radiant flame]

You could try cut a good stone and make 4x3 to transition to 5x3 while waiting for books to drop

Otherwise just make a 4x3

[weak gate]

well thast the thing im trying rn, except i can only afford the low qual sht and it probably isnt worth the pheons

[radiant flame]

Well low q won’t really last into 5x3

[pseudo atlas]

4x3 leg is usable except you still won't get in legion raids because reaper

[radiant flame]

Do you have a stone?

[weak gate]

8/5 grudge/ambush relic stone

[radiant flame]

Ugh ok useable but kind of messy

[rose jewel]

nasty

[timber mauve]

Yikes

[weak gate]

tried my best with it 🤷‍♂️

[radiant flame]

Trying your best is cutting a better stone 🤷🏻‍♂️

[rose jewel]

workable at least

[weak gate]

shoulda rng'd better mbmb

[timber mauve]

Throwing more gold at it generally makes it better.

[radiant flame]

Anyway. I think you do need 4x3. Maybe get one good relic piece and then use legs.

[weak gate]

more gold seems to be the core problem im having xD

[radiant flame]

Then just hone

To 1445, and do normal vykas and I guess bus Valtan if you can’t get into parties (though I hate suggesting busses)

But idk, feel like making reaper is such a trap

Though I appreciate that’s not helpful

[crisp turtle]

Just make more bards

[radiant flame]

I mean, yeah

[timber mauve]

Yeah, I’d only suggest reaper for an established player who has gold to buy buses or a guild to bus/run with.

[crisp turtle]

Noone invites my 5x3 1490 bard though

[timber mauve]

Because it’s a dps bard

[crisp turtle]

Rude

[weak gate]

this is what i was going for. I found a pretty good qual ring and earring, but the rest is low qual

[rain meadow]

Wait until the dps artists arrive...

[radiant flame]

just delete the reaper

[rose jewel]

oh my god dps ayaya

as soon as i see grudge on those little fukz, insta kick

[radiant flame]

What is that neck lol

[timber mauve]

That neck is going to cost you an arm, a leg, and a kidney.

[weak gate]

i found that out real quick xD

[rain meadow]

Ngl, ill make a dps artist build incase my static has too many supports leftover

[radiant flame]

Did you not think about swapping some stuff around?

[rose jewel]

having too many supports

in what game

[weak gate]

like?

[radiant flame]

Neck costs the most for all builds because necks are the rarest to be correct

So you can have a 5/0 neck if you wanted high quality, and neck quality matters the most

[rain meadow]

One week my static had too many supports leftover, it was a strange world

[crisp turtle]

1st world loa problems

[timber mauve]

get neck
grudge 3 ambush 5
is spec
is domination

[rain meadow]

Broken bone?

[smoky dove]

Is there place to track merchant ships from for sea advanture maps?

[weak gate]

15k

[rain meadow]

Not really but they rotate pretty frequently...

[radiant flame]

also that’s 4x3+1

[weak gate]

yep that was the plan

[radiant flame]

Idk about reaper. Is hunger 3 that bad?

[echo owl]

no 5x3 is best setup

[rain meadow]

You want hunger 3

[radiant flame]

Then just get 4x3

[weak gate]

its more optimal to have adr3 hunger 1 until 5x3 is what i was told

[rain meadow]

There's math out there somewhere

I havent read it, tbh

[echo owl]

i mean hunger 1 is okay

[radiant flame]

Idk I feel like you aren’t going to get accepted for 4x3+1 much more compared to 4x3

[rain meadow]

I like how we're all magician mains, talking about reaper

[radiant flame]

So I would make your gearing easier and go for 4x3 especially if you are starved for gold

[orchid hemlock]

I am stuck there, HELP !!!

[timber mauve]

Tbh, I’d just do 4x3 then swap to 5x3 all at once. The +1 sounds expensive for not that much gain. Especially when you’re low on gold.

[echo owl]

i have a reaper alt and it does just fine with 4x3+1

4x3 is just how youd get your class engrave done and theres multiple ways to do that

[radiant flame]

Feel like all bard mains are just DPS players at heart

[weak gate]

would i drop RC or adr for a 4x3?

[rain meadow]

My reaper is still 3x3

[echo owl]

the math is too advanced

adr scales when you get entropy because of the crit dmg

[timber mauve]

I would drop rc since you really need the crit. Especially without your relic.

[echo owl]

raid is cheaper but your gains from having max ms aint as frequent

[timber mauve]

But what do I know, I’m not a reaper main.

[radiant flame]

drop grudge so you can die in 2 hits rather than 1

[weak gate]

not false

[echo owl]

i mean preferably you want both which is why people could go hunger 1

[radiant flame]

In all seriousness, it’s just a bad time to invest in reaper. You needed the gold to start with if you were serious. If you are starved on gold, just focus on other alts for now

It’s not like you’re making zero income by doing your chaos and graids

[weak gate]

i kinda put the express event onto it, so i would like to at least get 1445 before i stop playing her for a while

[radiant flame]

Well you’ve not used the express honing yet right

[weak gate]

cringe, i know

[radiant flame]

If you’re still 1415. So you can swap?

[weak gate]

are you telling me i can swap the express event onto another character?

[echo owl]

if you have not honed a piece to 16, yes you can

[timber mauve]

You can, just can’t get rewards you’ve already claimed.

[weak gate]

i LITERALLY just honed one peice to 16. ilvl rn is 1417.something

[echo owl]

congrats

[weak gate]

welp🙃

[rain meadow]

Now youre stuck

[weak gate]

this cant be fuking real

[flat dagger]

Why did you do that?

[radiant flame]

#reaper

[weak gate]

reaperbrained

[rain meadow]

I mean... you have a month yet

Plenty of time to reach 1445

#reaper you cant link channels unless you have access to the channel

[rose jewel]

just read this shit https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EsAOOw-QXbq5NiPxeAISsII3zE6ZSgyq1WIVgZ8-q7U/edit

[weak gate]

iv been on that channel and iv been looking at that doc. Lots of confusion between adr and RC, so i was suggested to go 4x3+1

[echo owl]

well yeah the value you get with that +1 and keeping adr and rc

[weak gate]

now the challenge is to see if i can find a 4x3+1 setup with legs and relic acc, which idk is possible

[rose jewel]

it is, perfectly possible, but you're gonna spend more for it

[crisp turtle]

Just the one piece with +5 is gonna be expensive, if its suggested to only go with 1 node
The +1 is going to end up being so much more expensive than just going 4x3

[radiant flame]

I think you just have to appreciate that this is for personal damage. If you are pugging- most people don’t think about this and 4x3 +1 is pretty much the same as 4x3

[rain meadow]

If you can get away with buying a hunger +5 junk +3 piece that might be the play

[rose jewel]

ye he has to

[echo owl]

in my experience that costed me like 5k with acceptable quality

[rain meadow]

What stone does he have lol

[echo owl]

that one individual acc isnt a problem actually, it's how you build your other acc combos

[weak gate]

8/5 grudge ambushmaster

[rain meadow]

Oh

Hmm well it could work

My db is 333311, with a 7/6 and legendary grudge

[rose jewel]

he doesnt have leggo books

[weak gate]

lel

[rain meadow]

Lul

Yeah but i have an extra 5 nodes too

So technically he can do it, if a 7/6 is equivalent to a 8/5

[ripe sedge]

Does Thirain wipe out Vykas HM tentacles?

[rose jewel]

since when thirain can be used in vykas

[echo owl]

he doesnt even exist in that raid

[rain meadow]

Nineveh does, iirc

[echo owl]

and thats a whole nother problem if you need a sidereal for that mech

[ripe sedge]

I was in a bus for 2 hours that couldn't pass tentacles, then a few pugs who were willing to take me, they can't do tenatacles. Been at this since 11 PM last night (5 hours now)

so sorry if my brain's kinda fried... Nineveh, not Thiraain

[radiant flame]

You can pre-stack gauge with pools pre tentacles and that makes it easier, as you should be able to wipe 1/2 immediately as they spawn

[echo owl]

depends on how fast the group is

[radiant flame]

This group doesn’t sound fast 🙂

[echo owl]

the pre-stack method is easily done with wei frog for stagger

[crisp turtle]

Can't kill them all with it, but you can kill half of them

But as lavender said, if you're needing a sidereal for tentacles, it means you won't have wei for 0 mech
And if your party can't do tentacles, they're not doing stagger without wei

[rose jewel]

unless they take extremely long to kill vykas, but then berzerk

they kinda fucked all in all ngl

[ripe sedge]

Alright thanks guys, appreciate the input, will share the info to the group

[radiant flame]

Otherwise, thing is to not panic during tentacles. Understand how much gauge each ball gives you. If you are just over into red, you can take one more ball and not be MC

[brittle granite]

hi may i know how much can a relic neck, +486 crit, +497 spec, +3 grudge/cursed doll be sold for?

[faint roost]

Will relic accesories go down in price drastically, when the ancient accesories come out?

[radiant flame]

If you’re just into red, don’t try to DPS because you will drop down and it will be wasted

Hold your DPS until you have good enough gauge

[radiant flame]

No. Because the supply of ancient will be incredibly low

[echo owl]

also how would you gear between 1415-brel hard

[rose jewel]

doesnt your server has any for sale or has sold any recently? you can check if you right click and "Search"

[rain meadow]

Just get bussed

[radiant flame]

It will take a few months for relic prices to come down significantly. Also, ancient upgrade is very minimal. It’s just the node really and you stand to lose a lot in combat stats if you don’t have good quality

[faint roost]

But why are high quality, proper engraving relic accesories in korea dirt cheap, i mean like 5000gold to get a full set of 90+ accs

[brittle granite]

ahh i didnt know that function lemme go search it :x

[radiant flame]

They have had brel hard for 1 year+

[rose jewel]

make sure to go to advanced settings and put the quality a bit lower, since it will search for w/e quality your accesory has and above only

[radiant flame]

They also have a whole new tier of content now which drops a lot of ancient

[crisp turtle]

Eventually prices will go down
But it will take a while

[rose jewel]

my dude wants full 5/3 bis relics for 100g

[radiant flame]

I mean, legendary accs still cost some gold right now in west.

[faint roost]

Just want to know how they are so cheap in korea, does the new content like brel normal/hard, kayangel, only drop ancient accs, or do they drop both relic and ancient?

[rose jewel]

they have had ancients for over a year dude

[crisp turtle]

And they've had relics for multiple years

[rose jewel]

of course the supply is extremely higher than when they had them day 1

[radiant flame]

all raids from brel hard and the new abyss drop ancient only

Brel normal is still ancient accs

[ripe sedge]

Quick question... how do I start global chat with someone? There's someone in the raid but from diff server I wanna talk to

[crisp turtle]

Whisper works cross server, don't need to global, just friend them

[radiant flame]

Whisper? Raid chat?

[ripe sedge]

I meant I wanna continue the conversation outside the raid

[radiant flame]

Yeah so friend them and whisp

[hollow mist]

Does Rest Bonus affect the amount of silver u get from chaos dungeon too

[echo owl]

yes

[weak gate]

how would you setup a 4x3+1 with an 8/5 grudge ambush stone and +9 books? Dunno what vodoo magic i need to make this work

[ripe sedge]

Ah, thanks guys. And the advice about tentacles helped. Pool stuff

[crisp turtle]

Neck gr4 rc3
Ear am5 rc3
Ear am5 adr3
Ring gr3 adr3
Ring class5
Rc and adr +9books

Gr 3 on neck might be better with gr4 on Ring
Obviously can swap around adr and rc to find better prices on pieces
But rc will must likely be cheaper on neck than adr

[echo owl]

if you're going 50/50 spec/swift you can fish rc on spec accs and stuff like am on swift cause of low demand

[weak gate]

is 60 qual aight for 500g?

[maiden locust]

depend of the engraving

[weak gate]

ambush rc

[maiden locust]

It’s surprisingly cheap if it’s a 3/5

[weak gate]

Yep, 3/5

i should probably yoink it yeah?

[maiden locust]

You should aim a higher quality, 25 pheons for 500g accessory is pain

[flat dagger]

@bronze lance Can you fix the infinite 4s slowmode in #general-chat?

[snow token]

Ring or earrings

[weak gate]

earring

[maiden locust]

yeah definitely aim a higher quality

[weak gate]

the next one is 2500g for 68 qual. 78 qual goes for 6.8k, so iunno

[echo owl]

if its swift its fine

[weak gate]

i made it spec to find the cheapest

[snow token]

60 is the lowest you can go, but aim higher hunger is something that needs spec

[echo owl]

well yeah you want enough spec to 1 cycle your thirst gauge back up

also its dmg boost is nice too

[maiden locust]

at the end you’ll probably switch to aim higher quality, so better do it now to save pheons

@weak gate

[weak gate]

Ty

I guess I just need to wait for more gold or hope I get the accs I need, cuz anything high in quality is way out of my budget for reaper.

[rose jewel]

i mean hunger can go 70/30, 50/50 or full swift, but the higher the swift the better you need to play to compensate

aka dps uptime

[maiden locust]

it’s your choice either you wait a bit and get more long term accessories or u buy cheap now but might want to re buy again later

[snow token]

50/50 is best by far

[weak gate]

on a positive note i did find a 80 qual earring and ring 4/3 grudge RC and 4/3 grudge adr, both for 1250k gold combined. do yall think its worth?

[timber mauve]

RMT

[weak gate]

192 and 288 swift

[timber mauve]

1.25M gold?

[weak gate]

1.2k

[crisp turtle]

It means you have to go 5am3 something useful on neck
Which means it's going to be expensive

[snow token]

These are pretty good if they get you full engravings

[weak gate]

what quality should i just not consider? I dont want to rebuy this stuff after spending the pheons

is 70+ a good threshhold?

[crisp turtle]

60 rings, 70 ears, 80 Neck is what I go for

[snow token]

Yes for earrings

If you can find higher quality earrings you can get lower rings but not too low you need to hit 1k in each stat for 50/50 and never cheap out on a necklace

[weak gate]

So if i get an 80 ring and an 80 earring, i can afford to go a 70 neck and ill be solid?

[snow token]

What’s your stone?

[rose jewel]

8/5

[snow token]

Oh god

[rose jewel]

now you know the issue

[weak gate]

like 4rth person to say that LMFAO

[snow token]

I hit 7/7 on my first cut

[rose jewel]

weird flex, not the point

[weak gate]

skill issue i guess

[crisp turtle]

8/5 is more than enough for 4x3+1
Don't know what the stone has to do with quality, or did you just wanna flex your 7/7

[rose jewel]

the later

[snow token]

The stone has everything to do with it later he will need to swap it out then his accessories something that will hurt more in the long run

[crisp turtle]

You're right, he should definitely throw 100s of pheons and 1000s of gold at it now to cut a 7/7 to make a 4x3+1 build

/s

[snow token]

I guess it all comes down to where he sees himself on that char

But with that in mind probably more worth not going for 4/3 on accessories and got for 5/3 so when he can finally cut new stones for a 7/7 he don’t need to re buy everything

And this is me telling you from experience it’s not worth it

[rose jewel]

of course, because he has 200k gold to spend on an alt

[ripe sedge]

I've always wondered about this guy. I know KR players beat it once, but devs made it unkillable. Is it really a troll thing, especially considering it's what drops that island's soul?

[snow token]

It’s for something in the future

[snow token]

Is it not better to take your time instead of rushing into something it may cost 200k now but later it may cost double that so in theory he spent 600k instead of 200k

[crisp turtle]

Going to ignore those numbers, because they're ridiculous.
But I understand the point you're trying to make.
However, making "600k" will be a lot easier for him in a few months time, when he has a better roster. Compared to trying to make 200k now with no roster.
Gearing alts to be 4x3 might be inefficient, but it let's them start to do actual content and make gold

[snow token]

We don’t know what the future holds reapers could die out and make everything cheaper or worse and we a month or 2 away from ancient which may reduce the price of relic or increase it with everyone trying to get there

[rain meadow]

Im willing to bet we wont get ancient until march

[frigid flare]

can all pets become legendery?

[flat dagger]

Not all no, it's upgraded 1 tier.

[frigid flare]

which one can?

[flat dagger]

Any epic pets.

[frigid flare]

wait arent all epics?

[flat dagger]

No.

[frigid flare]

never seen a rare pet

and can all have pet skills?

[flat dagger]

You mean the one from upgrading it?

[frigid flare]

ye

[flat dagger]

Should be able to yea, if not then it's again the rare pets that can't.

[weak gate]

a gr 4 rc3 goes for 25k. If i take the gr 4 rc 3 ring and the gr4 adr earring, what would i replace the the engr on the necklas with?

[ebon vapor]

hello, i have a problem. I cant close my LA game on steam, in task manager i dont see that game or any programs that connect with LA. Can u help me pls? How i can close LA in steam? I turned off my PC yesterday with not closed LA, and during to that time game also not closing. 10 hour for now...

[orchid hemlock]

got this, can I just run it 1x with 4 man grp or it it also possibly to get 4x loot when everyone has this kind of map?

[flat dagger]

It's 1 people, can't be in a party.

[orchid hemlock]

oh right sry

I am at the entrance? What I do now?

[flat dagger]

Play the required song.

[snow token]

Rare pets are eggs only ones I’ve seen

[frigid flare]

ok ty

[hidden totem]

got dc and can't run the game again because steam cannot close it even tho I already restarted the computer, any ideas?

[long ledge]

i have the same issue ...

[dapper geyser]

how many horns can u get from clown including box?

[flat dagger]

10+5

[long ledge]

steam keeps my games launched

[hidden totem]

same

[maiden locust]

you have to keep trying :c

[long ledge]

If i close steam with forced closing and restart it again the game is still launched

same with pc restarting

[hidden totem]

yeah already tried both

probably a steam issue

[crisp turtle]

Feel like I saw someone say you have to force close eac

[ebon vapor]

same

[flat dagger]

Doesn't sound like a Steam issue in my opinion. Sounds more like a backend issue for the game.

[ebon vapor]

or steam or amazon

[ebon vapor]

i think so, i thonk it is coz of Amazon launcher or sth

[long ledge]

i don't care who's it is :p i just want it to work xD

[ebon vapor]

haha

[hidden totem]

I think it happens on multiple games tho

[long ledge]

never happened to me before tho

[maiden locust]

most people on reddit say they had to restart computer / close process multiple times until it works again. looks like the problem isnt identified yet

[hidden totem]

well I already did that aswell

[flat dagger]

multiple times

[crisp turtle]

It still says its running after you restarted your pc?

[long ledge]

yes it does

[hidden totem]

yep

[maiden locust]

this game

[flat dagger]

"It just works."

[long ledge]

same for me , restarted my pc

[frigid flare]

what is the max una's you can do daily?

[flat dagger]

3+3.

[frigid flare]

3 reps and 3 not?

[flat dagger]

No, 3 normally and +3 with +1 tokens.

[frigid flare]

cant i do more for silver if i dont want reputation?

[flat dagger]

3+3 daily, no exceptions.

[paper glacier]

anyone have the fused leapstone requirements/amount per lvl for brel gear?

[frigid flare]

ok ty

[flat dagger]

@frigid flare Just want to make sure that you know that it's on a character basis, so up to 6 per character.

[maiden locust]

12 for +13/+14, all i know

[crisp turtle]

Sure that's not for 12-13?
I was told 13-14 up to +20 was 16

[ashen kindle]

Guys I have a very confusing question. Should I be happy that I reach 1475 so easy or should I be sad because I will not be able to do clown and lose argos gold.

[crisp turtle]

Why can't you do clown

[ashen kindle]

I’m 4x3 people here don’t accept any new player unless you have a title or high lvl roster.

[flat dagger]

Unhappy for needing to ask others on how you should feel.

[ashen kindle]

I’m kinda happy because i literally 1 tap some piece and didn’t pity or reach 50% artisan while honing

[crisp turtle]

I still see plenty of groups doing clown progs or learning parties
Might not be easy to find a group, but it won't be impossible

[flat dagger]

If you send pictures of your full setup then I guess we could pitch in, but otherwise

I've done guild runs with 4x3 so it certainly works.

[ashen kindle]

Okaaay I’ll keep looking! I can do g1 g2 on clown I’m just having some issue in g3

[ashen kindle]

Yeaaah I have 1 malice and my quality is pretty bad 53 on weap and only 4 piece relic. Well I can craft 6 piece this week after vykas

[flat dagger]

53 quality weapon is the same as my main after 40+ attempts on quality upgrade...

[ashen kindle]

I’m running Striker db grudge Andre amb. 1590 spec

Lvl 4 tripods on all skills lvl 5 on dps

[flat dagger]

The 4-set is the worst part honestly.

[crisp turtle]

You're fine for damage
It's just uptime, and that just takes practice

[ashen kindle]

Yeaaah I can craft my 6 piece this week. Thanks guys! Also I have a friend that pretty juice that will help me learn soo it’s not that bad I think

[frigid flare]

do i miss out on something if i solo my cg map and dont share it in a party?

[flat dagger]

3/4 of the loot.

[ashen kindle]

You miss 3x rewards

[frigid flare]

ty guys

[ashen kindle]

I’m running entropy is it really that bad that I have 4piece?

Someone said it’s like having 1 more engraving if you have 6piece entropy

[crisp turtle]

Oh, I didn't read that bit
Doubt a pug would accept you without 6pc relic
But if you've got an juiced friend, that ignores most of the pug issues

[flat dagger]

.

You are 4x3 with relic accessories right? Not legendary ones.

[ashen kindle]

Well I have 1 legendary ring

[flat dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-picard-star-trek-the-next-generation-disappointed-gif-23456183

[ashen kindle]

100 quality it’s so expensive

[crisp turtle]

Your engravings are fine, 1 leg ring isn't gonna hurt you, you said you're basically 1600 spec

[ashen kindle]

Yeaah I have 1590 spec

470 crit . Also I’m using hp card pretty much almost lvl 7 all gem

I have no idea how to farm lost cliff cards

[dapper geyser]

does luterra's horn soldiers have decent stagger?

[crisp turtle]

Finish your 6pc, and your damage is fine
You'll struggle for pugs as no title, no 5x3 and you're on ilvl
But your character is good enough to clear it

[flat dagger]

And he's not even using LWC, or full Lv. 7 gems.

[crisp turtle]

Point still stands, his character is strong enough to clear it competently

[ashen kindle]

Okaaay guys thanks! I have no problem with mech in clown just worried about my stats and engravings/set that’s why I ask thanks again.

[flat dagger]

But you're having issues in G3?

[ashen kindle]

I have no idea how to do bingo

[crisp turtle]

Best tip?
Find a support main and become their best friend
Never have problems pugging again

[ashen kindle]

Yeaaah because my friend is also striker he’s 1520

[crisp turtle]

Oh that's a whole different problem then

[flat dagger]

Then do it with him and you'll have no issues.

[crisp turtle]

You'll have more issues finding a group with him, as you're running 2 strikers

[stiff belfry]

since yesterday my game wont close anymore. is there any other solution than restarting the computer? i cant find a lostark.exe task in the taskmanager either

[ashen kindle]

Yeaah i guess he can try running it on his alt lool if we can’t find a party

[crimson trellis]

Is this badge on kakul meant that the kakul died before 3rd bingo happened?

[frosty glacier]

Same issue here

[flat dagger]

No.

Surely it's not the first time you've seen it, and also not hovered over it.

[crimson trellis]

any idea of the meaning? whole party get that one

[flat dagger]

All the medals tell you what they're for.

[crisp turtle]

Isn't it just for a "fast" clear

[flat dagger]

Essentially yes.

[crimson trellis]

wouldnt fkn ask if anybody hover over it and checked...

its not 6am to get braindead answers

[frigid flare]

what do you do in these event and what are the rewards?

[flat dagger]

Kill slimes + PVP, enough gems for a Lv. 5 gem and tons of accessories + some ability stones.

[ashen kindle]

Does the 21% flat damage on entropy 6piece huge?

[flat dagger]

Yes it's huge.

It's like another grudge

[ashen kindle]

Okay thanks .

[frigid flare]

how can i use emojis in a party finder?

[flat dagger]

[Emoji prompt]

It autofills too, so just look at the menu that pops up.

[frigid flare]

ty

[dim pebble]

how much different the gold reward between vykas normal and hard mode?

[flat dagger]

+1,200 gold.

[dim pebble]

tyty

[flat dagger]

@dim pebble Just don't forget about the auction splits since people buy the chest and stone, not to mention 2x relic materials too.

[dull trench]

@crisp turtledo you play esoteric?

[crisp turtle]

Nah I play fi

[flat dagger]

I play Esoteric Wardancer, if that helps

[dull trench]

well im in the process of doing t1 to t3 speedrun, and using the raid build, this build has like 0 movement

anything I could change so its still somewhat playable

[flat dagger]

Yea, Esoteric has no movement skills.

You could swap a DPS skill for the blue jump, not a spender though.

[crisp turtle]

No, levelling wardancer is the most miserable experience in the game

[flat dagger]

Sweeping Kick, Tripple Fist or whatever you use for that -> Lightning Kick.

[flat dagger]

Your D.

[crisp turtle]

Change flash heat fang to either lightning kick or sweeping dragon whatever they renamed it to

[flat dagger]

Lightning Kick is correct.

[dull trench]

ok thanks!

[flat dagger]

It will be worse DPS, but your movement speed is so low at T1-T3.

[crisp turtle]

There's a different mobility skill, which is called sweeping dragon something

[dull trench]

ye swepin hidden dragon

[flat dagger]

I think I know from the icon, but don't remember the name.

[dull trench]

it does like a spiral movement

[flat dagger]

Yea.

[crisp turtle]

Coolest mobility skill in game

[dull trench]

this is so true..

my sharpshooter was so easy to level

[frigid flare]

is this new? what's it for?

[frigid flare]

oh ok, i think i got my answer, if you have enough mats you can automatically change set,

[wind solar]

yo, if i do clown rehearsal on my reaper will i be able to do clown normal on my main still?

[frigid flare]

do gs rewards scale of dmg done

[olive galleon]

the merchant in little luck appears on the map ?

[silver rain]

they only appear in the minimap if you're in the island yes when they spawn. if you're simply just clicking to check you wont see one

[fair mantle]

Yeah provided you haven't done it on any char yet, there's no point unless you really wanna play that specific character

[silver rain]

gs?

[olive galleon]

oh ok it's more difficult like that

[olive galleon]

I got it now XD

[bronze nest]

guys i did overpass to punika is that bad for who want make exp for roster?

?

should i delete the character?

[fair mantle]

Could you rephrase your question

[bronze nest]

well roster lvl is 94 and im trying at least to reach 150 roster lvl

and i dont know if i did wrong that i overpass for punika or i just should start from lvl 1

[fair mantle]

Starting it from Vern does give roster exp through world quests but a Punika pass is super good for a new player

Overall roster xp is just natural the more you play, boos rush, cubes, dailies, weeklies, alts, msq etc

[flat dagger]

Don't forget a lot from the T1 and T2 towers, once per character.

[bronze nest]

from missions im not get the best roster exp?

[dapper geyser]

does it make a difference to farm life skills at south vern vs punika?

[flat dagger]

They're both T3, so no.

[fair mantle]

It is a good source, but one time, tower is also a great source, but like I said it's natural and not a thing you can farm as such

[bronze nest]

i mean i just skip all missions so i dont know if it right choice

[prime marsh]

hey is there a striker discord?

[fair mantle]

Punika pass is good coz a new character takes a lot of time for a new player to get to Punika so you save a lot of time + get a good mat and gold source alt

[fair mantle]

There's a channel #striker

[bronze nest]

i hope so...

[fair mantle]

It's a fact nothing to hope about

[bronze nest]

what is the best way to gain roster exp?

tower?

[fair mantle]

I mentioned most of the sources above

[tulip copper]

My game is acting very weird. Who are we contacting on such cases?

[fair mantle]

Weird isn't a descriptive word lol

[prime marsh]

tyvm

[tulip copper]

When i start my pc and steam it shows lost ark as "running" but nothing, both eac and lost ark, doesnt show up on task manager

So basically i am stuck with a "running" game which i have no control over

[fair mantle]

That sounds like a steam/pc issue not a lost ark issue

Just restart your PC and try

[bronze nest]

the rapport all shared with all charcters?

[tulip copper]

I tried that obviously but still as soon as i start my pc, my fan speed increases as if i am already playing the game and when i start steam it shows lost ark as running. And i cant stop it

[fair mantle]

Ye

[tulip copper]

And now i am seeking help from a person who is willing to go through this hell with me

[fair mantle]

Reset up steam, is this a laptop?

[tulip copper]

Yes its a laptop

[fair mantle]

Yeah that's a common issue for a laptop

[tulip copper]

After years of using steam this is the first time seeing such issue

[fair mantle]

Time to get a pc I guess

[tulip copper]

I am in the process of looking at one but i will need a laptop no matter what because of my job

[fair mantle]

But this is pretty much a well known issue on laptops especially with cpu intensive games like lost ark

[silver rain]

nah PCs also have the same issue they just start seeing like that today

open steam the end steam may fix it also repair EAC in your lost ark folder

[tulip copper]

You mean just normal restart of steam? I tried that

It maybe an eac issue. How do i repair it idk

[crisp turtle]

It's a lost ark thing/eac thing, not a steam or your laptop thing

Happening to a lot of people after the last update

[silver rain]

go to lost ark folder EAC_setup thingy

[tulip copper]

I have heard that from couple more people

[fair mantle]

Possibly then, I'm unaware of this, but it has happened with me for a long time

[tulip copper]

How much was the download for this game ? Was it 70 gb? I might just reinstall it

And prayge

[hoary burrow]

does anyone know by chance, if i use one of my reskin tickets, but i dont settle on a finished setup right away, can i back out of it without it wasting the ticket, or do i have to finish the reskining right then and there no matter what?

[tulip copper]

You can do it whenever you want

[buoyant herald]

it only consumes a ticket when you hit confirm

[hoary burrow]

so i can like, mess around with how i look, but if im not happy with something, i can exit out and finish it later?

[buoyant herald]

yeah

[hoary burrow]

nice

[late flax]

can bosses have 2 or more traits? like humanoid+demon for example

[dull trench]

anyway to repai weapon in dungeon?

[silver rain]

pet function if you have aura

[slim beacon]

can someone help ? i cant even find it in task manager

[dull trench]

lol i dont, I forgot to repair and im tickeling the boss

need to redo the whole dungeon ffs

[mystic current]

this happend also to me, the only how to solved this is by restart your pc

[tulip copper]

I just wrote here about the same issue. I also searched lost ark forum and i can confirm that there are many other players who are having the same issue in the last couple days

[mystic current]

try to verify lost ark again, it might help
after restarting your pc tho

[tulip copper]

Every possible scenario that can an intelligent person think of has been tried. Thank you for advice regardless

[maiden locust]

I can equip two accessories with same name right? e.g. 2x Fallen Chaos earrings

[slim beacon]

@mystic current@tulip copperi did ctrl alt delete, then i clicked sign out then sign in (fixed)
more like a fake restart and it fixed the issue, but for the issue to happen i was playing and somehow i lost network or idk
then i had that error pop up and ''exit game'' its usual for me so i thought of restarting it and the processor doesnt even wanna close
even from steam it could say the app is still running so yeah

[slim beacon]

Ey

[tulip copper]

Yea disconnects/crashes caused this

[ashen kindle]

Guys do you need two +12 books with 7/6 stone to make 5x3?

[neon plaza]

So I closed lost ark and somehow it's stuck running. It says it's still running on steam, tried stopping it and i kept getting an error. How do i fix this? Restarting my PC and everything, but it's still showing that it's running when it's not

Can't uninstall either

[tulip copper]

You cant fix is apparently. There are posts on both reddit and forums where many of us is stuck

[neon plaza]

oh

mind linking?

[thin token]

yes, with 1 book 7/7 is the lowest u can go

[slim beacon]

i literally answered 2 lines up but apparently u dont even take time to read

[tulip copper]

Type "lost ark stuck at running" to google and search for posts made within past week in google

[neon plaza]

Sheesh, no need to be rude. I was in a hurry to leave for work. Can't simply just point it out huh?

[tulip copper]

Same issue will repeat itself anyway when you want to play after another session

[hollow latch]

got these, what should I use to maximize efficiency

[last wolf]

is there a way to just get 330 blue crystals using gold*

[fair mantle]

If that's your main you can use everything, I would probably just save the amulet, engraving pouch and aura for now

[hollow latch]

ok

[mystic current]

thanks will try this later if i get stuck

[fair mantle]

What ilvl are you

[hollow latch]

I just started sooooo 10

[fair mantle]

Oh then don't open anything

Just stash everything for now

Until you know what everything is

[hollow latch]

ok

[crisp turtle]

Yes
Valtan is both beast and demon for example

[late flax]

what about the others

vykas kakul brel demon + humanoid? i know akkan is undead

though i wonder if hes also human cuz hes shaped like one

[crisp turtle]

No idea
I just know they can be multiple, I don't know if any of them are other than valtan

[last wolf]

r these chests and legendary recipes worth buying

[tawdry gulch]

I'm areturning player and I'm confused about channels, how come the channels list is empty? Can we not change channels anymore?

[dull trench]

Rohendel finished 🥹 now Yorn

[fair mantle]

It's just gamba, the top one not rlly unless you're doing gella cards, the bottom two ones if you're honing the char

[fair mantle]

The place might not have enough players where you're trying to swap channels

[terse hound]

So summoner and Brel coming with next week patch, or not confirmed?

[tawdry gulch]

Ohh that makes sense, thank you

[fair mantle]

Most definitely not next week

It's either 14th or 21st

[dapper geyser]

what are these card runs being done in abyssals? arethey for the auction or smth?

[fair mantle]

You have a chance to get cards from every abyysal dungeon

[dapper geyser]

oh does that persist regardles of ilvl?

[fair mantle]

Yeah

[dull trench]

is chaos dungeon level 1 rohendel soloable?

[fair mantle]

Every chaos dungeon is meant to be a solo activity

[dull trench]

ah ok, since im just 460cp

[fair mantle]

You can only do chaos dungeons at your ilvl so yes you solo them, though I recommend getting a chaos build / using a chaos skillset to make it faster and easier

[dapper geyser]

are the chances any good tho? and can it be any card?

[fair mantle]

It's not very high chances but of course as you do them on multiple characters every week you do end up dropping few LoS cards, we're talking legendary cards here only and specifically LoS

[dapper geyser]

hmm seems like too much work lol ty

[dull trench]

@fair mantlethanks ill take it into consideration for next time

[fair mantle]

Might be for a newer player but for people grinding LoS it's pretty much a weekly activity

[dapper geyser]

nah like if it were guardian raids I'd do em but all the trash mobs and stuff like ew

[fair mantle]

They're just one shot when you're this over ilvl

[dapper geyser]

ofc but like I said the trash mobs are annoying to pass through idk maybe it's jsut me

[dull trench]

ok that was extreamly fun

[tawdry gulch]

So me and a party member both had a secret map each leading to 2 different locations, we shared them to each other, went to his secret map first and now my secret map has vanished. Is that normal?

[silver rain]

there's an option to use every one map in one go if you tick that they yea its normal

[frigid flare]

can i share a punika chaos gate map in a southvern chaos gate map lfg?

[maiden locust]

no

[tawdry gulch]

Oh so we only do the one instance but get rewards for as many maps as we used up?

[thin token]

yes whoever goes to their map spot needs to make sure to check mark the box before entering and everyone in party needs same color map in inventory

[tawdry gulch]

awesome, thanks for the info

[dull trench]

ok I hate legoros

[cold olive]

my character is 1370 gear what is the benefit of upgrading now

[inland pebble]

When should I use the chance boost materials for honing? I'm at 1360 and I want to go to 1375, I don't know if I should just hone raw or make sure I always use those

I wouldn't ever song out of deskaluda period

but yes that's fine

[buoyant herald]

3x3 with good stats is good for deska

[tulip copper]

You a reaper main now? I need to tell you what happened to me couple days ago

[maiden locust]

Hello all, can someone please suggest me a cheap way to build 5x3 for shadowhunter alt? Or is it not possible? I'm kinda new so confused lol

[buoyant herald]

ppl have unrealistic expectations nowadays
1460 5x3 for desk

[buoyant herald]

sure go ahead

[crisp turtle]

Cheap and 5x3 do not go together
Can't have best of both

[rain meadow]

not a meta 5x3 anyway...

[inland pebble]

[tulip copper]

I did a round of deskaluda and i played perfectly with my reaper (hunger). But when i mean perfect i mean so perfect that i dont even know how to describe it. I kept adr at max, i was in chaos mode throughout the whole match. My every single attack was a back attack and i didnt wasted any skills on ready they were all on cd on all times. But when the match ended a shadowhunter with similar build got the mvp with 55%.... it was so stupid. I will explain my and his gear/ stats in a bit but what i am trying to tell is that something is weird with reaper dps

[maiden locust]

Oh okay, will 4x3+1 do then? what would be the best engravings in that order?

[rain meadow]

i personally use solars on weapon only, otherwise i raw tap everything if i don't have books; books i use from +11 or 12 onwards

[buoyant herald]

you really need high lvl tripods lvl 60 relic set and good gems to make reaper work

[tulip copper]

So is this a high ceiling than other characters with good investment type thing or do we achieve the same thing but i need to spend more shit lol

[buoyant herald]

with everything maxed out you are competitive with like B+ A- classes
far from S tier

[tulip copper]

Damn thats a sadge character then... it feels so nice to play but it would suck main it i guess

[buoyant herald]

just push it a bit its not that hard

[tulip copper]

Dude that shadowhunter didnt even have demonic skill gems it was 11 level 5 gems on normal skills

55% damage???

[buoyant herald]

yeah sh is really good with pretty much nothing
falls off later on

[maiden locust]

was he using perfect depression

[tulip copper]

no he was demonic

we both had 4x3 he was crit i was like 1200 swift and 700 spec or something

i even had mp efficiency as my +1 engraving

[dull trench]

So I cant solo Chromanium at 460, should I just upgrade my t1 more?

[inland pebble]

should kill him in a group then

[buoyant herald]

you can but its hard

[dull trench]

have fun with matchmaking

[inland pebble]

I just finished my runs no problem

Maybe EU issue

[dull trench]

but not chromanium I guess, thats a level 2 raid, nobody is doing those

[inland pebble]

oh, the lava one

[rain meadow]

the normal one

[inland pebble]

my bad, I mixed up the ice one
right right

[dull trench]

the turtle one

[inland pebble]

turtle has more health than all the other guardians around its level

[dull trench]

since the guide is telling me to kill him twice before I moove on to t2

[inland pebble]

there's no actual requirement anymore to kill him, so if you can't, just move on

[buoyant herald]

guide is outdated
you dont even need to kill him

[inland pebble]

the last update removed the requirement to kill every single guardian

[rain meadow]

best bet is to make a lobby and talk in area chat in north vern/rohendel and see if people can help you out

or yeah you dont have to kill it, i guess lol

[dull trench]

ah so I can skip it and keep doing islan quests

[inland pebble]

yep

don't burn all your time trying to beat him

[dull trench]

are guardian stones etc character or account bound?

im hesitating to change my class

[inland pebble]

depends on the source, mostly not bound at all but specific sources are character bound

chaos dungeons and guardian raids are tradeable/sellable, only if you run chaos dungeon past the aura of resonance limit are they bound

leapstones from chaos dungeon are always bound though

[rain meadow]

the stones from the islands become character bound once you open the boxes, so it's best to not open them all right away

[dull trench]

nono i didnt mean to sell them, I meant to use them to hone another class

[dull trench]

fml

[inland pebble]

event boxes are typically account bound, but the materials inside the boxes are character bound

and yeah that's fine, sellable or tradeable same thing, can move to other character via account storage

[dull trench]

well guess im stuck with this character untill punika, and then just use the powepass

[inland pebble]

you can do that if you want, sure
powerpass is very good

[dull trench]

ye already used 2
