god it takes forever and i doubt anyone would want to complete the same old story over and over
didnt you get the punika pass, or you already used it for another alt
i already used it on other alt
the story was ok for the first time but i'll probably uninstall if i do it again 
can i do weekly una on all characters for the 12 points?
then you dont have 1, but 2 gold earners
should be enough with abyss dungeon + argos
dont expect "free ez fast" gold if you haven't even invested in your main + alt enough
well like i mentioned in the first message i havent done any of those yet. I did some abyss dungeon attempts today in pug but didnt get past the first boss
sell your leapstones from guardian raids, there's some gold
what moko pet should i chose or it doesnt matter?
pet?
do supports need maxed tripods? i kinda wanna make one but dont wanna invest too much in it
im not expecting anything. just asking if there is some "easy" gold since i don't know the methods to make money đ
or skin
anyway whatever tickles your fancy
"easy" gold, yeah sure, buy it with real money
outside of that, no not really, weekly content and selling your daily drops
its all about investing and getting a return later on
yeah i get it. Im just asking you know. I wouldn't know if theres some island quests that give some gold or something. Literally the reason im asking about it.
there is, but not always, adventure islands
and its like 500g for you
which isnt even enough for NV KT
worse is nothing, i guess
but again, una's, weeklies and selling your daily drops
they just yeeted most early game gold gains
tbf rapport gold is the least / last thing you should aim for, but i guess it was a decent amount
as in, for a new player
does the una rewards increase weekly? im pretty sure i was getting like 20 tokens claim or something
and now im getting 155-310
or is it tied to ilvl
tied to ilevel
ahh cool, gonna make quite a lot more gold this week then
im sure you could find the breakdowns somewhere, but i've forgotten when they increase gold
here, im 1520
and it's 100 tokens for the small chest right
yeah
it takes your higher item level in your roster
dont buy the small chest imo
buy the large one always
or the medium
yeah? i saw somewhere that the small one is most gold per token
medium is actually most gold per token
but don't even remember where it was so might be false
but people always go for large cuz chance of 10k jackpot
small and large are like 2.5g per token
how much is the large one
smol is not really the most, i think it was medium ye, but
gamba adicts
also, the difference should be minimum
and gamba 10k is worth
ive been playing since release, and ive hit the 10k jackpot maybe 4 times
medium for most consistent gold, but its not a big enough difference to notice imo
big for the possible jackpot
I've only bought the large chest since April when I started playing, 0x giant gold bars.
but yeah so about weekly unas tasks
i can do the weekly one on all characters right?
yes
so i can just grind out chaos dungeon now for easy points, cool
i do the guardian raid for leapstone rewards and the 2 boss rushes for more leapstones. i used to do the pvp leapstone one, but it got tedious
if u do about 4 char boss rush x2 and cube x1 weekly then u will fill the una bar
i dont think they even have 4 characters
mokoko

actually i have 4 but the bard is only 393ilvl atm
but im doing chaos dungeons for the shards so i can upgrade my bards ilvl after each knowledge transfer
no idea if its a good way to go about it but that's what im doing
Are there still free Vern passes etc for login?
Or were they only release celebration reltd
The two free north Vern passes are permanent.
Well, thereâs a daily and weekly tracker built into the game.
not for leveling up to 1400 first
What?
Release of episodes? Iâm very confused. Maybe someone else can answer.
Well they drag out the release of content already released in Korea. Thats what you call Episodes
they never released any free powerpasses that didn't require you to get to that content
As they add additional story
Yeah but in disregard of unlocking it first, they did gift free powerpasses
So I was wondering when the last one was
Only additional story they added was south Vern, and they didnât give a pass for that.
we have never gotten any free powerpasses from only logging in
so the last one was never
Theyâve only added more story once.
the only free powerpasses available at this moment are the ones from clearing north vern (permanent) and the one from doing punika (temporary)
I remember when they unlocked Punica there was a free 900 pass or soething
And not only from unlocking it
but an additional one
When returning
or maybe im Lost
no we never had anything like that because punika was in the game from the start
Wasnât punika in the game since launch?
it was
the entire history of powerpasses so far:
free permanent from nvern
temporary feiton from glaivier release
temporary punika from arcana release
temporary punika from mechanist release
temporary punika from reaper release
well that area where they yell Lai lai
ah right and feiton was 1400
punika was in the game since launch
slowly its returning x)
what the
no feiton is 860
Uh
OK
feiton is 960
960 close enough
no freepasses
dude
someone just answered above
NO
yknow what
yes
we got one with feiton release
because it totally wasnt in the game since launch
but you missed it
unlucky
now be happy
not like kaiki told us when we got them
How did I get 100 chests for supplies?
Magic
IceâŚ..please
Check the forums official news and youâll prolly find your answer 
Thanks
how do new players get 6 characters to t3 when no one is in t2 and 1?
by struggling
with a lot of effort and time
You donât have to do any t1-2 content really to push t3. Islands and events should be enough to push your first to t3 instantly.
yeah everyone and their mother has already mentioned how bad the new player intro to this game is
then tower for alts is a good chunk of mats
Then you can use free power pass to get your second to t3. Then you make gold and slowly work on your remaining alts.
Do you get better honing rates in t2 and t1 now compared to launch?
man, the cadence of 4 months without powerpass later
it will be extermely pepeW for newbies
honing in t1 and t2 used to be not 100% and not 2 levels per hone
so yes
rates are better now
oh we got kr buff i had no idea. op
we've got every single buff kr has
also they cut out mats cost and gold cost but they also took out gold for new players
not like they can actually do the dungeons normally for gold anyways unless they just matchmake into card runs for free carries
why wouldn't they be able to do the dungeons normally
KR just got a new stronghold buff to 1460 or 1490 didnt they?
I doubt you could get 8 t2 new players to do underwater
even if you could find the people they probably have no idea how to play their classes or gear
well feiton abyss dungeon is an entirely separate issue
that is one fourth of the abyss dungeons before t3
We donât talk about that dungeon here
Question for Shadowhunter. Whatâs the ideal Spec to cast 3 S skills?
Getting to t3 is pretty easy right now, just the last push to catch up is hell for new players
If you go ham, maybe a week to get to t3? Or less
Depends how much you play honestly
20 hour gaming sessions could prolly get it in 3 days.
That's what I did
Started end November, have 4 classes at t3
And enough mats to push my other two to t3
Just can't be bothered atm
Took me 4 days to reach t3 because I donât have a piss bucket. Not a real gamer 

So I just used a vern powerpass, I moved to NA West because i literally moved IRL - but it appears I don't have access to my stronghold. And the quest to get it isn't showing up, anyone know what to do?
Power passes are once per account
Characters are also server specific
Start a new server, gotta start a new roster
So I have to play the campaign? @timber mauve
Or you can drop $70 to skip to south Vern
so wait i can't get my stronghold unless i pay for a south vern pass?
or playing the campaign
there's a quest you need to do to access stronghold that the powerpass doesn't complete
it's in luterra castle somewhere
@merry garden
I've searched up and down in the castle and there's no NPCs that will talk to me
Anyone whos played both engravings of summoner, what did you find more fun and satisfying?
I'm caught between the two
I am new to lost ark... Is it common to quest with a party?
No, game is pretty much single player leveling until level 50.
All leveling content is easily done solo.
have you checked your guide quests
you are a genius
i'd forgotten about these things hahaha
okay. and at 50 i heard there is something that lets you choose more classes? My friend is a samurai and said to get the DLC. i got the DLC but it will not let me be a samurai.
what
wrong game?
what weapom does samurai have
wrong game

that is in fact the critically acclaimed mmorpg final fantasy xiv


So.. if you move from say tier 2 to tier 3, what can you do with leftover tier 2 honing materials that are bound to that character?
Sell them to the general merchant for 1 silver each.
Look at them in your inventory
hoard forever and huff copium in the hopes they allow you to upgrade them in 5 years
Draw a picture with them I guess.
use them to get the 77,777 silver in one sale achievement
how do I find gulids?
Actually 5head
I see.. well atleast the character storage is pretty sizable.. xD
can you still get the punika powerpass without paying for it but by doing the quests?
yes, you need to complete the quest "berver's friend" after finishing punika
free punika powerpass should be around for another 2 weeks or so
Thank you đ
Last I checked, rehearsal is dead.
Wait, donât you get locked out of normal if you do rehearsal?
how long does the valtan raid re-entry ticket take? i got dc'd, my raid is showing uncleared, but im locked out
Should I go to rohendel after hitting 460?
rehearsal counts the same as normal for legion raid entries, but that's per-character
can't do rehearsal and normal on the same char but you can do rehearsal on alts that don't/can't/won't do normal
Anywhere from instant to 48 hours iirc.
is there a changes of acc's stat?
ring 97 qual 199
earring 98 qual 299
no i mean the jump, ring 3 3 and earing 2 2
i thought both has 99 quality
ring 98 99 quality dont exist
and so earring odd quality
look at market
im the one asking why u asking too?
tf
Quality
i'm not sure what you're asking, could you reword the question?
Iâve been reading as well and not sure either.
oh i see
That's not true, not sure where you got that from
relic
im looking at market rn
cant find above 97 and below 100
in ring market
then there are non on the market
so.. back to my first question. has this sequence been there?
or there's an update about it
what sequence
i saw ring with 98
relic
here's one with 95
I really just donât understand why this matters.
doesn't have to matter if they want to know what's going on with the system
he is right though, certain qualities don't seem to exist. 99 for example.
Probably the way it works is rounding, certain quality gives decimal values in spec/swift/crit stats so game just doesnt generate those values
From what I can tell, none of us know whatâs going on. Maybe Iâm blind tho.
i just aware something i didnt aware before
lol
should i add all of these to the adventurers tome?
Ye
does it make sense for me to spend 4k in gold (roughly) on about 100 GHL so i can finish getting my bard to 1415 and start the next thing?
thx
Nah, youâll prolly hit 1415 before reset for free.
what they're saying is there doesn't seem to be any qual 99 relic earrings, and if that's true then it's because the game doesn't generate them for some reason and they're wondering why
fair enough
i just check 97 and 99 dont exist but 95 exist, idk how lost ark calculate the stat but it's weird. thanks for ss on earring
Prolly what M said earlier. Due to rounding and the decimal system they have in place.
Would be interesting to put those values into like wolfram alpha and let it guess the function behind it. 200 = 100, 199 = 97, 198 = 95, 197 = 92, 196 = 90
My guess is it generates the stats first, and then calculates the quality based on those values
Wheres the guardian soul reward to uncheck it?
my theory for ring it's 2.5 and they round it down so 97 qual should be 97.5, etc. the earring is kinna weirld. first 5 sequence 100 98 96 95 93 91 90
When you click to enter, there will be a box to uncheck.
Oh ok ty
for a lil dolphin what's best to buy for blue crystals, the "T3 item level reward chests" ??
Yeah, that one is nice.
what does 2x wei mean for valtan
at the 30hp bars and 15hp bars mechanic, they're going to cheese it with the Wei sidereal
oh
Quick question if i look at a quest in my Quest journal in the completed section does it mean its completed when it shows up there or when is it complted when i click on it and it has the completed on it ?
I used Song of escape before whole team proceeding at gate 3 so now I am stucking, do they auto-return ticket for me tommorow?
I already cleared gate 3... received all rewards/
those soundtrack I can buy or get in lost ark. Will it give any benefits?
whats the max Skillpoints you can have in our version ?
408
sounds about right
thats the correct amount
WowâŚ.
At 310 ilvl really confused in terms of how to progress
I'm thinking i need to hone my gear but don't have enough harmony leapstones
You can get pretty much all your mats following the guide I linked
Should I still be doing clown for set lvl 2 on new breal raid?
At least for your first character. Any alts you make after will not get island rewards. They'll have to do the tower
If you can get a brel squad to accept you, just do both? People usually give up Vykas and do Valtan, Kakul, Brel as their 3 raids
I donât have lvl 2 set from clown should I do relic gear and then use clown mats to make new breal gear lvl 2?
It doesn't what order you do them in
Ok so if I make my weapon lvl 2 from clown then I make new relic weapon from breal will my lvl 2 transfer to my new breal gear? Make it lvl 2 as well
Yeah they'll all end up lv 2 in the end anyways
no extra mats required
you dont lose level 2 when you upgrade to brel
etc
yeah you just throw them in the Upgrade NPC with clown horns
Thanks
where do people bulk get ability stones? or is it just something that you build up over time?
i have yet to get a stone with the right 2 engravings, let alone have it cut well too
they buy them off the market
isnt that hella pheons
đ
I have 58 breal stuff should I save up and make weapon first?
if you want ilevels, just make armor, they're cheaper
Tysm, so follow this guide from ilvl 310 and ivll be close to T2?
What about weapon my weapon right now is 21 and all armor 20
unless you're 1520+ not recommend going weap first
Ok thanks
Is there a guide on stones of birth and engravings? I'm kinda confused
You only get to. Equip one stone of birth?
there are guild recruitment channels for your region in this discord! such as #na-west-guild-recruitment
i could be wrong but i think you need to clear it to progress story if itâs your first time clearing? but future alts are able to potentially skip it with knowledge transfer barring some requirements
@thorn cave well. I finished vern with my main but decided I didn't want to. Main him anymore
Lol, was a deadeye but I switch3d to pally
Enjoy him better
I'm. Just stuck on what to. Do with all these stones of birth.
Just cut a random one for now for the HP/Vitality it gives
Kinda confused on how they work
you wont need to worry about those until like T3
Oh
how do i get this stuff?(theres no name on it when i hover over itđ§ââď¸)
@brave rapids so engraving books do the same thing?
Then you go to engraving tab and left click to equip correct?
yeah, so basically a full Level 3 engraving requires 15 "nodes". You get nodes from engraving books (3/6/9/12), stones (potentially 10) and finally accessories in higher tiers
that's gold the main currency in the game
following that guide should get you t3 through mainly islands and questing with a sprinkle of chaos dungeons and guardian raids
Yo, I'm coming back after stopping playing around when Argos was released. I see there's a hyper express pass for 1300+, is there a better way to boost T2 alts if I want to switch mains or what?
You should have access to market. Make a habit to check and sell things for gold. ex. those Collectibles from monster drops
not yet
Guys now that Iâve transfer my new stuff to new relic itâs now lvl 12 should I hone it now?
does LoS18 help you get into groups vs LWC?
this quest is kinda confusing, you get it early but wont be completing it until level 50 around t2/t3. you can just uncheck it for now until you start earning steady gold income
thats how to push 1520 so you can do all 6 gates
to some extent
alr
Can you use tripods if you're on a different continent?
@brave rapids ah ok. I get it now I think lol. So. I should. Continue with rohendel?
A lot of island quests require going to different continents so just wondering do i need to take a boat?
you get a powerpass for free to tier 3 (punika) after you clear berver's friend, powerpasses are the best way to level alts, but you only get so many for free
Yeah just continue the entire storyline, getting more and more ilevel along the way by honing
Final continent currently is South Vern
Boat yes. Can use ocean liner or sail. Alternatively, you can save bifrosts (crystal aura gives you +2 more) to instantly teleport
but you'll know you're in T3 when you get to Punika
then there's knowledge transfers, but only north vern is the special one where it puts your alt to lv50 and item level 302, the rest only clear the main story, but you gotta manually get there yourself first (you gotta hone)
@brave rapids so do I keep my current gear and keep honing it or will I get new gear I need to hone?
When you reach Yorn, you should get a new set of gear out of the Yorn chaos dungeon
and the same for Punika and it's chaos dungeon
Current gear from pp is at 460
you hone to 600 (all 15) then get tier 2 gear from chaos dungeon by beating yorn (802) hone again to 15 and get new one from punika (1302)
Can i use ocean liner when i'm on an island
@rose jewel ok ty got it.
what are ways to get life shards othen than chaos dungeon?
How do i unlock ocean liner?
the main story line should have done that for you?
there might be a guide quest for ocean liners, check J and guide tab
it should be, the powerpass clears EVERY quest up to that point and gives you the more important rewards
What should i do if i didn't recieve the mokoko skin from the recent rewards given today after the update ?
probably submit a ticket to AGS, it should have been in your new years celebration pack in the Product Inventory
festivity island shop gives a ton and they are weekly
Wait, we getting another 100 Chests but these ones are gonna be not random?
Guess its coming with next maintenance?
Holy, thats actually dope.
.. EU central or NAE?
Like, to play on?
as in how bad is the ping to NAE when youre in eu
y
is there a spreadsheet somewhere that breaks down the reward difference for each guardian raids and chaos dungeons
Really confused
I have the travel continents with ocean liner quest
But telling me to use the south vern ocean liner?
i dont recall a quest that had me use that ocean liner, but if you want to check if theyâre unlocked for you just head to any port (harbor/anchor icon on the continent map) and theres an ocean liner npc right at the dock
Sadly it wasn't in my pack and i never got it! đ
why would you want to play overseas when you have a server next to you
When it was released there were EU issues.
what are the requirements on engravings/gems/cards for clown?
the issues are global wide, eu/na/sa, every one of those regions is handled by ags
depends if pug or static/guild, to clear it 4x3 is more than enough, to pug it 4x3 may not be
to pug, 5x3, lvl 7 gems, lwc 12 or los 18
he's probably referring to the 5 hour long ques on the first few weeks 
yes i know
but the dude wants to jump a whole continent while not even knowing what's up rn
Well.. at the start there wasnt even an EU server. Once it ran it had the most issues still.
yeeees
there was always eu central
they only added euw later
there was always a eu region
aaah alright
if you're from europe/asia, play on euc
and euc is still the biggest region of them all and has no / same issues that other regions have
Perfect then EUC it is.

can anyone provide a spreadsheet for gold earn per raid etc
estoque, good
Is that the 3rd one?
Not near a dock đŚ
what gear level do u need to get to 1520 with two brel pieces?
you gotta get them up to like +16 or +17 depends on your setup
i mean
that totally depends on how much honed are the other pieces
so his question doesnt have a definitive answer
unless you give some more info đ
i have all pieces at 21 and 2 brel pieces at +16 and im 1520, that should give you an idea

Guys
I come with tremendous news
I might hit 1500 right now after playing almost everyday since games been out ftp with 5x3
you played at launch?
Yes I have like 1200 hours on steam
if i open up the moko outfit on a character, is it bound to that character only or can i share it with other characters?
same and i have 2 1500s and 4 1445
bound to main class, like warrior, gunner, martial artist or mage. You can put them in roster storage
I need ur blessing
Ah oke, thanks
I used a Vern express ticker on a character I don't like the playstyle. Should I just buy a character expansion slot or delete and get another class I do like to play?
I am not a hardcore games, so I won't be playing 6 character anyway
How does aura of renosance work?
The best route from 1490 to 1520 would be to transfer all pieces and tap all of them to +13?
UR BOY JUST HIT 1500!!!!!!
Important to collect makomokos?
Yes
Nice!
So If my ilvl is only in the 800's and I am just coming back to the game, before I progress, would it be better if I started on a new server (the busy one)...or does it not matter? I would like to be able to be in the guild with the people I play with and ensure I am not waiting on members for game events...though I am not sure what is shared or not between servers. Just wanting to make the right move.
My question?
Yes
What are they for?
Do I have to teleport to my stronghold to send out ships and start research? That's what I've been doing but not sure if there's a menu somewhere I'm missing or something
Yep. Cant do it outside
Once you finish story you get 2 passes to boost 2 characters to lv 50. If you want to swap and you are halfway through, just finish it and boost 2 characters.
actually depends if there's reward you need from collecting them (eg. masterpieces) i only collected 700 so far check alt+l on mokoko for reward list
Depends on which server you are. Same Regions can play with all players actoss the region, but you can't be in the same guild as someone from a different server or see them in the open world. So as long as its not a dead region, u fine
@boreal cosmos I already finished vern and got the 2 power passes
on the first interaction with brel, do u actually have to fight o move the fight along or make it faster, or just run out a clock
feels like this fight is just about burning your durability
You can pay 600g to skip the story on any character
Is it worth skipping or are the rewards good?
its very worth skipping
Just re doing the story is around 10h.
Going from 250 to 800 is another 4-8 hours as well. It would burn you out.
Its Avesta, on the NA east region but all I see mostly are bots with random names
Useless rewards. Skip. They should make an option by this point for newer players to start on North Vern as well.
I would buy a boost because Im lazy...and dont like doing it again. Its not about the progression...just wondering if it is worth it in other ways. The guild and open world stuff might make a difference
Cuz t1-2 areas are loaded with bots and 0 players. Players have nothing to do besides world completion on those areas. It doesn't matter. Idk if theres a bad rep on NAE or not like there is between EUC/EUW, but it really doesn't matter..
And most players have done their world completion on those areas. You'll see real players from north vern and onwards, most player interactions are actually in raid areas lol
!region
Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Cube, Plat Fields, Auction house, Character name, Friends List, Strongholds, Boss Rush, PVP arenas
Server Specific
Guilds, Islands, Open world, GvG, Life skills (professions), Unranked Arena Premades (queue as party, this is cross server in KR)
Nothing is Cross Region
You barely have any interactions with players on the open world. 90% of your time would be spent in raids and chaos dungeons.
I mean, when I did leveling back in the release weeks, areas have been loaded with real players, but I had 0 interactions with other players besides doing the story dungeons with them, which would probably be faster solo anyways.
Don't be afraid if you see no players. T1-T2 content is dead anyways. All of the players are doing their weekly and daily quests over the T3 areas, which anyways is a designated location for each raid/dungeon.
feiton has players due to una's daily
how do i know if a skin from the shop is dyable?
when u hover it, it will say un-dyeable un tradeable etc. if it doesnt say un-dyeable then it shoul be dye-able
the red text?
yeah
so i can dye this one?
check the skin itself, not the box
omg, good call. It says cannot be dyed
when in doubt
Like if estoque on my GS is lvl 5
different server = totally new game
How bout same sever
if char 1 in server 1 has a ship lv 5, char 2 in server 1 will have the same ship lv5
if you just play on the same server forever, most of the things are roster wide
Ty
question, I have 3 brel ready chars but my gl is 1467... to optimize marks do I do this on my gl -> then do it on my other chars?
I think if i do on other chars i will be locked out of this
Ok I understand for all 1520 on all relic what lvl do I wan em? Right now itâs 13
you dont get 2x marks
unless im stupid
coz i only have 1 char for brel
but if its like clown, you dont get extra marks
@boreal cosmos so I should continue to do the story in rohendel
What is going on with my gear, why the extra golves? I obviusly transfered since the BRel goves is +12 ??
I only used set convert. Never had any extra gloves
Unless you dismantle old gear after transferring, It's likely you've mistakenly honed the old glove check if that's one has 0 qual
no you get the gloves back đ
No it goes back to +0 0qua same with other relic
nah it used up legendary gear
What can I do with it, I just delete it ?
Otherwise I will just be honing the wrong shit like I just did
Wondering where do we get materials to upgrade ships
Do you get them through the story?
I'd say getting it up to lvl5-7 is nice but at 310 it's unlikely you will have the resource to do so
Oh kk
I don't get how my friend who is also ilvl 310 had resources to upgrade to lvl 4
There's mokoko challenge/ voyage coins from logins/events
If mokoko challenge is anything like the old welcome challenge it should have that one mission giving out a bunch of ship upgrade mats
For Brel, is the gate 0 fight time based or hp
not sure but feels like time based
its hp based

ok
need advice on buying level 10gem
dont 
just whale and buy 110 lv10 gems for your 10 alts
multiple lvl 9 better
i have 55mil silver and enough gold to buy cheapest level 10 to roll, buying one i want would cost me extra 50k gold
whats worth more 50k gold or 50mil silver?
go make 50k gold
u will roll all 50m silver
and still not get wat u want i bet
and then ur gonna be madge lol
I would roll if there are multiple skills you're happy with
360k silver per roll
just want doomsday
If you're looking for only one skill then gotta make that 50k
fair
Yo guys wherr can i contact , i got vanned without a reason
cheapest level 10 on market is 440k and doosmday cheapest is 500k
Banned*
google lost ark support
you're in the big boys territory and you're not willing to spend 50k
nah just weighting my options
if its better to spend 50k extra i will
60k saved
6th roll
honestly
wasnt a good decision
but was a nice gamba
for the thrill
wait for when I tell you guys i lost 3 50/50s on level 10gem and buying 4th
dismantle it to get bone/wing back
you cant dismantle honed pieces
nope 
o thats kinda sad, some classes change the feeling a lot from their relic set
Hey guys so I finally reached 1415 with my striker and want to start building it, whats the best build for striker? Funwise and well that can be accepted in groups??
ask #striker or check the pins there for the accepted build
damn i cant even test empress without nightmare set i just go oom after 1 rotation lol
Ok ok
how so many ppl get legendary/relic compass, stone charm? long term player or something?
coz they actually play the game
I donât play the game so therefore I donât have it
that is island stuff only right?
Isnât the charm a life skill thing?
login rewards for new players give ship upgrade mats
i think so
does trixion simulate u lvl 60 ?
Well, you can give yourself skill points and stats in there. So yeah.
true i guess thats why i was asking but makes sense if it doesnt, empress just gains a ton of dmg from 55 and 60 so i wasnt sure if that was apart of the dmg i was seeing or not
The reason classes get stronger with levels is really the skill points, not just the level itself.
What is the incentive of high level players, to do low level content? Sometimes I see groups/randoms(matchmade) of over 1k doing the first few abyssal dungeons (example) and one shotting the bosses.
doesnt lvl 55 and 60 increase the dmg of ur idenity which intern for empress increases the dmg of exploding 4 cards? i havent researched anything just going off the arcana guide
You can get legendary cards as a random drop from abyssals, even low level ones.
they can get a legendary card drop there so people just squad up to rush thru them
Idk anything about arcana tbh. Sorry.
Higher tier/level of the same content doesn't reward more on that front?
like more cards, or more chance to get it?
You have equal chances of getting leg cards since itâs separate from the usual gear or other mats. So hard core players run all the abyssals they can on all characters.
I see, and doing higher tier/level abyssals doesn't lock you out of the lower ones for that week?
like rewards wise
nope
getting higher ilvl does lock you out of gold rewards for abyssals below a certain threshold tho
I see, thanks for clearing that up all đ
I mean the old 0 piece after you transfer to brel gear
yeah but he honed it by accident 
oh well rip then 
think of them like EXP for your armors/weapon, no shards, no exp, no hone
Yes
thats their only use
hey i am newish to lost ark i have a south vern pass and i was wondering what class you would recommend that is fun, good and cheap ish to build, i liked the look of mayhem berserker buti idk how expensive that iss, thank uu
Fun is always subjective, find a class you like the playstyle/look of and try it out (don't powerpass it). If you don't like one, you can try another. Once you find one you like, you can powerpass. In terms of cost, mayhem berserker is in the mid range but I wouldn't worry about that for now
one of the 2 support classes you should start off on a support if u are a new player. If u want to have an easy time experiencing raids and content and then u can make dps class as ur 2nd / 3rd chars
Yes, I would suggest a support unless youâd rather uninstall over playing support. You will have a very hard time doing any raids as a dps without friends.
Since youâre NAW, I can help you through some dungeons and Argos if youâd like. Just ping me here if you have any questions.
Are the providence gear guaranteed to drop from the first chaos dungeon?
Or the t1 set
No, chaos dungeon gear drops are random. Just gotta pray.
Do abyssal dungeons stack daily?
Looking into the game..and peeking around the discord. Little worried about the timesink and curious if some can translate the time equation. I see some people at 1520 ilvl looking for raid teams and many are getting denied for whatever reasons but main one is not keeping up with gear score requirements to push G5+. Also many guilds that are recruiting are requiring players to have 4+ alts among other timesink requirements. Is all that really needed to be able to push high content in this game, and what does that equate to in weekly playtime to upkeep without dropping a bunch of real life cash to keep up.
gatekeeping is insane đ just having item level for brel is not enough
you have to have class they want for their comp good crystals and high roster level
also very often at least like 10-20 more ilvl than minimum
Oh kk tysm
rest depends on how fast you wanna go
the more alts you have the faster you are gonna be getting gold and mats 
How many hours a week is required to maintain/aquire these requirements?
there is no set hours req đ
a few hours a day on dailies + any raids you want to run

how fast do you wanna reach there / how hard you wanna go into the game / how much you wanna hone
you can skip dailies and do them every 3rd day with reset stacked up
Really appreciate all the anwsers
i want to start a reaper character, can somebody give me a brief description of their playstyles with different engravings? which one is easier to pick up?
hunger by far
it's basically just a passive buff isn't it? to be fair it really does sound easy lol
lunar is a burst class, if you miss or dont back attack you miss a very good chunk of damage, hunger is just spam and break your fingers
its a lot more forgiving and fast
both have a lot of movement
lunar is a bit more technical
squishiest dps so you gotta move, dont get hit, back attack
ohhh nice i see now
i mostly play ranged mages, started with sorceress and now switched to summoner, i'm assuming learning positioning will be hard
you will naturally learn as you keep playing
but i mean it should be easier if you have a lot of swiftness and mobility
i used to have a db char but i found it too hard to always try and get behind mobs
but i can tell that reaper has more mobility
well blade is #2 ass chaser reaper is #1 ass chaser so its gonna be a bit easier
still when bosses keep turning its annoying af
IT IS
how do you deal with it if you don't have any movement abilities left or do you always keep at least one of them up
just click and move
u always have movement skill up as hunger
cuz i found it awkward just running around the boss for it to just turn to me 2 secs later
on hunger reaper you dont really have that prblem
u have like 5 skills that move u plus ur dodge
that sounds perfect tbh thanks i'll definitely be playing reaper she looks really cool
just know that its hard to mvp cause u need like alot of uptime
and high investment
||its hard to mvp cuz its zdps
||
lv4 tripods are scuffed
i always feel bad when i don't make it into the top 4 in raids as a dps
but not that bad that i would stop playing some character
is anyone down to hop in vc and play when my game is done downloading? need help learning
you can ask whatever question you have in mind here
cant join vc personally
that goes for both of you
that said, would love to help but gotta work tomorrow, there are a lot of folks here tho, they may be able to help
Legendary Bleed & Epic Bleed, do they stack actually?
no, just extend duration
tyvm
do i go surge or remaining energy deathblade
yes, i did a 1080 gaurdian on my 1500 and got the same amount of stars
and check pinned guide there
ty
anyone know how people are getting light of salvation set cards so fast?
Paladin or bard? Someone tell me now what should be my alt
Paladin
both
define "fast", most LoS players have been playing since launch
money
Is roster all ur characters?
Well, I can in like an hour.
What goes across all roster and can continue progress on stuff?
I think rapport is one
?
Uh⌠a lot.
Completion thing?
All collectables
Like I see majority with at least 18 piece and wondering how they acquired packs
Money
What about completion for continents?
it's easier to list what's not roster-wide
money, card runs
damn đ
not roster-wide: story progression, character ilvl, daily/weekly lockouts on content
There are a lot of sources of random legendary cards through normal play. Event shops, south vern quest, every dungeon you run etc
đđž
oh cool, yeah I was just suprised seeing so much people woth almost set level 30 and thought I was missing out on some secret tech đł
is anyone down to hop in vc and play when my game is done downloading? need help learning
Which class got the most mobility?
piano reflux Sorc or hunger Reaper, i guess? swift tth Gunslinger is pretty fast too
reaper, gunslinger,deadeye
gunslinger with swiftness and its not even close
reaper is a close second but you have assloads of movement skills on gs
ass or boobs?
thighs
If i have done all the side quests for my main should i do them for my alt too or nah?
south vern yes
other quests no
if ur leveling yeah, u can get some mats, up to u
Ahh ok ty
they give them out in events regularly, like the one right now
dunno how many you are looking to get but it's not many
like he said, they give them out in events
dont hurt yourself doing those dailies that are near impossible or just painful
how much ghl do u get from argos bloods
i think 2-3 per blood
you get shards from them, a low amount too
finally got my bard to 1415. got 125 pheons rn, and wanted to double check engraving preferences... H.A, Awa, D.S, and... expert?
What are the class engraving selection chests for?
wait dismantling them does not give ghl?
if u wanna future proof for a bit and make it easier on urself go vhp insteadf of expert
omg yea my bad, vhp was the one i meant. thx for correcting me. lol.
but otherwise thats the go to?
bet. ty
but vhp is easy value while other 4th engravings like expert doe have more situations xd
yea the guides i read all suggest vhp over expert. i don't know why i said expert anyways lol.
nope, never has the orehas things only give shards im pretty sure
ah thought 1475s run argos and orehas to get more leapstones
expert is just nice for topping your teammates up, its not high priority like awakening
well expert is prob what u see on most bard pubs
ur core 3 is ha, awk, ds
yeah, you should run the main 3 but your 4th is somewhat up to you, expert is just better than most other options
not rlly
đ¤ bet. ill get on it. hopefully i can make it work đ¤
vhp is straight value makes doing mechs less stressful for low-stagger comps
i could see where the extra stagger would be useful. lot of bosses have that stagger mech, and im always caught sleeping
this is why vhp is valuable
vph was my 4th for paladin, but honestly your stagger still feels pretty bad
that is a lot of bright colors.... lol
justn otice how bard ggoes from last tier 8 to 4th tier with vhp
r u using sonic vibration ss and ww?
im gonna be honest... i dont know whats happening in that pic. gimme a sec ill SS the skillset
DS and Awake are the only essentials
everything else is plug and play/interchangeable/preference
VPH does literally nothing for first 2 legion raids, but becomes amazing for clown/brel
i only have a paladin, no bard
bard is the weakest and squishiest class without HA, HA is essential.
but yes, i use good skills and ww
a dead bard is a bad bard
its no weaker than most dps's who use grudge
pally with vhp3 and 2-3 blue skills is crazy
a good bard that never gets hit doesnt need heavy 
i ran 3 blues for clown and can barely solo rescue
exactly. ranking 11
nowhere near the bottom
idk about that, a few lobbies ive been last man standing, and... i had to wipe cuz i didn't have the dps
where did u see rank 11 lol, thats grudge bard
except every dps uses grudge
so looking at that rank is irrelevant
are you telling me that bard is less squishy than gs
its pretty relevant considering, if ur not running HA 3 on bard, ur just as squishy as any other dps or worst
LMAO
aight, this whole bit is over my head đ i'll see myself out. thx for the tips đ
ty for pointing that out, my point still stands babe LOL
go ahead and dont run HA 3 and use some meme stream 3 or doe over HA 3
seems like something you'd do, when all top bards have HA 3 in their builds because its an essential engraving
i run it because im lazy
but in no way is HA a requirement
run without it and do ur raids and come back to me and lmk,
but my goal here is to get rid of true courage (don't even know how i got it that far...) and get vph and HA up
you talk without experience of running a no ha 3 bard, ur just bantering just to banter
so toxic and useless lmfao
true courage only affects u btw
i run dps bard as well
without ha
so y'know
in raids? or chaos LMFAO
raids
im sorry for ur groups that have to deal with you
yea i didnt mean to gain true courage, dont even run serenade of courage in my skillset
im not here to entertain, if you want educated information check the community guide @sturdy mesa
pugs wont take me 
its just with freinds
at least that will be troll-proof from a toxic weirdo 
yea ive seen the community guide, and i been following it. but only so much you can do without pheons, and sometimes its nice to talk to people đ¤ˇââď¸
idk how im toxic or a troll
you literally posted proof than no HA bard is tankier than half the dps classes
its also a much safer playstyle
im not saying "dont use ha"
im just saying its not a requirement
tankier than half the classes, check the chart again LOL

And nothing happened
its funny cause you argue over HA not being a requirement but dont rec any other engraving
HA at this point for bard is better than doe, memestream, max mp for a 3rd engraving
i wasn't tryna start ww3 lol. just tryna triple check before i bought the wrong shit... like i did for my paladin whos finally kinda fixed
because i said its all preference
New player, used barrage engraving recipe and nothing happened
everything is preference, but thats not the point
you need 20
thank you for pointing that out, but encouraging useless and non-constructive discussions is the bane of the community
you just say its a preference with no other recs for engravings
you will get books and then have to learn them to access the engraving nodes
20 to level up, 20 blue to level again, then 20 purple. each time u level, you gain points upon equipping
press P and alt I to activate them
Ty
because they'd all been spoken about previously, didnt think i needed to repeat recommendations others had already said 
DOE/expert/VPH/either of the mana ones are all viable
So 1 recipe is useless?
yea... kinda.. but you get them quick and easy. don't stress it
dont think it was repeated when he was just freshly asking
also seems like your point is running doe expert max mp over HA 3
unless you have no point, so as ive said before this conversation has been a waste of time 
you get loads and loads of the green and blue chests during the game. through practically everything. so you'll have what you need
i never said any were better or worse, i literally said it was just preference
pretty much, you need 20 of each level to activate it
very constructive, i dont disagree they are preference and there are very unique situations where one might be better over the other
and each level adds +3 nodes
but simply put, you never mentioned any of those -- not contributing to a constructive conversation

calm down and take a walk
aight so if its a preference... im gonna go with HA, because that's the advice i'd been given previously..... lol vph ha ds and awa đ
is +20 brel weapon glow the same as 25 valtan glow?
yes
So does that mean +25 ancient brel weapon has a new 25 glow?
yes
what color is it đ
no idea, gold or something
if you want to, you can buy the accessories so that you can swap out one of those engravings for another depending on content
vph for instance isn't super useful for argos/valtan/vykas, so something like drops/magick stream could be better
whereas vph is super useful for brel/clown
buying an extra ring and being able to swap out ring+book to change engravings is nice
yup
i've commited so far to not spending money in game, so pheons are super limited for me, its unrealistic at this time to expect me to invest in 2 sets of gear.
+6 esther is so tiny
@shy yarrow oreha hard mats and argos blood both dismantle into leaps, argos just gives more
you don't need to buy that extra ring now
just when you make your setup, make it in a way that its interchangeable in teh future
tysm, i thought so ^^;;
aight, will do. thank you đ
oreha converts 1:1 argos is around 2.5:1 (anywhere from 2-3)
yah argos is weird cause its like 2-3 per 1 blood
Is there account/server storage in lost ark?
you have roster storage, which can be accessed by all characters in a roster
but its not cross-server
Ty
now i question myself, i swore they only gave shards
oreha normal mats gives shards iirc
Alright, I'm struggling here. I havent played since Argos was first released. I've seen I need to do two island's to get 60k gold? And then whats some other content I need/should to do aside from the usual Chaos/Guardians/Una/Etc
what ilvl are you?
1350
-.- i can never win.... awa was full, ha needed 1... and this is the shit i got
still fine
you can easily get 4x3 with that
im gonna buy another stone and try again lol
just need a acc with +4 awakening instead of 3
yea true.... ill check it out. maybe im whining about nothin
the negative doesnt matter
I did the same thing, but when I went for 4 instead of 3, the price went from 1k to 31k.
you do no dmg anyway
Says the zerker
thats true though
i do more dmg then a pali atleast
my job is the healies
Oh wait, youâre talking about their build. Thought you said I do no damage.
aight ima see if i can make this work đ
I mean, my trixion dps is like 2.5M at 1500 ilvl⌠but we donât talk about that.
goodluck
mine is 3m
thats what my bard does
Iâm already dead

i cant find any AH items with 4 points in vph. even if i get 2 pieces with 4 points, im still 2 points short. and the few pieces that i am able to find are like 5k
Welcome to gearing hell
frustrating.
yup pobably better to get a new stone and get leg accs
Not sure if you still want to vc, but Iâll be on in like 10 minutes.
should i use cost reduction or great success? which one its ... better overall?
i need 1 ring and a necklace. cant find either with enough in vph to make it to 4x3. do i just say forget 4x3 and polish up to 3x3? or do i save up and wait
cost reduction
great success works weirdly
if you have 5%, and you add 1%
it gives you 1% of 5%, so like 5.1% not 6% or something like that
save and wait
with a 6/6 stone it should be cheap to build 4x3
yeah the fact that i havent got a great on last 210 crafts makes me think cost its gonna be much better
by any change do u have the list with best cost reduction setup?
im gonna get another stone and see if i cant beat the one i got. but beyond that, yea ill save up
tbh this is enough to get you accepted into parties
no point in spending gold just making this 3x3, keep as it is and just save til you can make 4x3
benefits of playing supports
aight aight, yea that makes sense. specially since i dont really have the pheons to spare. ill just keep checking ah from time to time
oh damn, im almost 1500 swift. whats the importance of 1500? always hearing people tell me to try getting to 1500 swift
no real benefit of specifically 1500
its just that more swift=better
ah, 1500 is just a baseline then?
is vanquisher pack worth rn cuz of discount
Only when you have the material
depends on your market, but not much of a different either way
Yeah just buy it, you don't use that much anyway
as long as bots exist, it will be never worth to craft them imo.
just buy and save time.
Yeah, it technically is cheaper if you gather everything, but marginally more if you value your time at all.
i want to change my relic set for chaos but i can't. Do i need to do something befor it? I have 55vykas wings and valtan bones
do your guide quests
check your guide quests
lol i had some stuff sitting in storage a few chests from the challenge dungeons.. \m/ got a little lucky
oh i see. I thought it was a achievement thing. Thank you
anyone here do volare GVG? any tips nad tricks?

same tbh
the new year gave a legendary card pack, ik the best overall set of cards in the light salvation set, which card is the hardest to acquire in that set? or is there a better choice?
oh ok
wei is easy to get and akkan can't be selected
so should i just save it and wait
yes
pretty much
kk thanks
What do yall do to get more oreha fusion material? Im 1427 rn
are their guild strongholds?
buy them or craft them
Whats the best method to craft them? I remember u could do it with fish but ik there are other ways. So whats the best/quickest?
hunting/excavation/fishing
IS there a specific fishing spot?
which is best depends on your lifeskills and time and the region market
or are they all the same?
i have no idea about anything lifeskill-wise
both fish traps and hunting traps are probably the better way to farm those mats, but id rather be doing anything else
ong
its always the same time, reset is at 6am est, maint is usually 3am wednesday
Who do u talk to in ur stronghold to make the oreha mats? I forgot who
you have to just unlock the research and then crafting places
each recipe needs to be researched so check the ones you want to do
i got it down already just forgot how to do it
gotcha
its disabled because amazon hates gifting
idk what that means chief, your guild is a completely different thing to your stronghold, and neither of them interact with eachother in any way
you cant even gift your own alts with some accs without paying the pheons 
there is only one stronghold and you enter if with f2 and the song
Ok what I mean is any kind of guild hall type thing. That the guild works on together.
no, not yet at least, the only thing guildmates can work on together is the guild itself and the challenges/researches
and gvg/gve stuff
Oh ok thank you.
r there any other stories or quests similar to "escape to freedom" in the game?
should be roster, like clown marks
