all this takes is gold and you have 9 for each story
6 is the optimal amount right to progress quickly?
thats what i've heard
Knowledge transfer requires gold to boost, takes 8 hr and completes the storyline up to North Vern and does not complete all side quests.
Power pass are essentially paid boosts that'll be added in the future, they instantly boost you to 50 with no cost and completes all story quests and side quests up to North Vern.
ah i see
yeah i think the event is available until like mid-February, and it only takes 5 days of dailies to get all the rewards
Coo'
For every character you KT you need to have done it manually once before
no, 1 manual story = 3 KTs
I see, thats the ratio?
yeah and you can only hold 9, so you just have to it on 3 characters
?
and if you only care about N.Vern KT, you dont even have to do that, cuz you get 2 powerpasses for completing NVern once
and that powerpasses count towards your KT count
Right but everyone is telling me that people generally need a 6 charater endgame roster
they count as completed stories
I am 99% sure you are wrong and it's 1 to 1, with the first 3 N.Vern being the exception
I've had 9 KTs since before I even had a Gold-6
Oh so powerpasses count as a "manual completion"?
yes
thats pretty crazy...
Then you bought power passes on other characters beyond N.vern
cant you get like two powerpasses for south vern and then call it a day lol
for your other 4 chras
and KT them
if I PP 1100 char via SV powerpass am I gonna get full chosen set ?
South vern is after punika power pass is why im bringing that one up
if you want to powerpass 2 characters and kt 2 characters then sure, pretty damn expensive though
nvm i didnt realize NVern was an exception, i've never used a KT passed NVern lol
Anyone have legendary overwhelm rune in their stronghold in na east?
and North vern is the only 1 to 3
yes
Should i be upgrading my gems by fusing or just buy in auction house?
Everyone keeps telling me to switch to 21:9 mode so I can see boss mechanics better, but the text is too small, is there any way to increase the general font of everything?
Alas I don't have hawk vision for tracking a field mouse at 500 yards
move your screen closer 
!sorceress

Which is better class engraving to level up with Empress or Emperor Arcana
for leveling up, i think emperor is technically better for mobbing? but it doesnt make much of a difference, i was able to get through the story just fine with empress
how do u get the brelshaza headpiece?
By completing gate 6
is cube faster solo or with ppl?
with people
is the legendary engraving bag in brel tradable?
look at the bag
what does it say
it was tradeable, not sure if they changed it with anguished, but don't think they should have
I think it said untradeable
is rapport progress roster wide or character only?
it is tradeable
is island soul progress also roster wide? my account has 2 sets of souls
it would otherwise say that "the items opened from this chest is untradeable"
roster
roster
oh nice
you cant have multiple characters rapport boost the same NPC tho
or can you
you are limited to 5 actions and 5 songs a day across your roster
and once you've used an action on an NPC you can't do it agin that day
are you able to equip two accessories with the same name?
across your roster
yes, you can now
Hi guys just popping in to say thanks for your advice and I look a lot sexier now :
I spent about 6k on various stones and now I hate stones
Just once?
yes
well you can get it on your alts
it's a first clear reward on every character
:(((
set it to optimal materials
also why are you honing to 23
you are kind of just throwing gold down the drain not honing brel weapon instead
for fun
9 artisan +22 so uh
why not
that char is 1490 so i need 3 more weeks for brel weap
and id rather get gear then hone before doing brel weap
just hone your armour then
it just doesn't make sense why you're even considering juice (which implies you care about honing efficiency) when it is simply inefficient to hone the weapon full stop
you can do g34 by just honing one of your armour pieces to 16
which is, itself, about a quarter of the cost of one of your weapon taps
red glow look cool
But the glow
^
right, you're paying gold for a glow?
my plan regardless is to get the brel weap to 20 asap
which you will lose once you brel swap?
then do that when you swap
you are wasting gold
honing your weapon
smh lol
why use the calculator in the first place if you dont care about gold
spend the money get the glow life is good
Seems like I can't destroy this thing in Golden waves island 🤔
how to get this?
Not obtainable yet
Is it from Rowen or from that region with the angels?
how does brel g6 meteor timer work for blue? its 1 wave per min but it changes after yellow drops
its it 1min from when the yellow drops?
or does it add an arbitrary time each time you pass a yellow threshold?
Im confused how people are going from 1325 to 1370 seemingly so easily
Im out of gold and I only hit 1330
does it really just come down to me grinding out una's tokens?
like on reddit some comment was saying dont do normal ureha's well, wait for 1370 for hard...but I think Ima have to wait a week at thsi rate just because of my gold issues
I will take a guess and say this is your first char?
yeah its totally fine that you struggle to upgrade your main, specially at this level

The higher you will get ( and yes after 1370 ) you start actually making real amount of gold weekly
Worst part is that it seems like a lot of gold has been removed from quests that I noticed would have given me a lot of gold I coulda completed
am I missin some sorta content
I think Oreha on hard gives like 900+1200 + 2700 from argos
Oh and also its been difficult actually trying to get into abyssal dungeons because I assume no one is stuck around 1325 grinding abyssal
Matchmaking literally does not work before end game lmao
that is awfully true
your best luck would to ask for help from higher people
you will see a lot of parties doing hard ones for free, in exchange the carry takes the card drop if there's one
so you can ask in major cities for a similar thing

it takes like 3m to finish it
ok
Anyways for now, your main source of gold is una tasks yup XD
good luck grinding those, and weekly task gives 12 points btw so that should make it easier to progress
It should just be 1 min. I didn’t think yellows change the timing but I could be wrong.
I just need one other player right
Im also unsure why it matters really. You should know where the blues should go
sadly abyssal dungeon requires full team of 4
count me in, I'm down to help
any name suggestions for an Arcanist?
he's an angel
Nevermind, we arent on same region 💀
your pfp is very accurate right now 
hmm definitely does since im trying to keep track of it and it always changes
A LOT more than what you have and what you expect xd
1000? D:
if you are lucky enough
I believe each honing attempt takes 35g
so best case scenario would be around 1300g
holy crap
you can use this browser tool from maxroll to have an estimation of resources you would need(including gold) for possible best/average/worst case scenarios

Are there Una tasks that are more worth doing for new players? like that contribute to giving skill point potions or stuff like that?
Yup
can i have a link / list to them?
thx
yeah why?
are you on zinnervale
no im on evergrace
why xd
yeah but im new at 1447 not at 302
wat
LOOOOOL, I think I played with you yesterday 
did you rmt an account or something
there was an active hyper express event
whats that
An event that helps you reach 1445
oh i see
a friend gave me some gold to skip a few days worth of progress since before t3 you can make very little gold
btw Khun were you doing vykas yesterday, stuck on g3?
yeah definitely played with u xd
hmm u prob had a different name, did we complete it or was it a party where we closed it?
we quitted after a lot of people didn't know what they are doing xd
oh rip yeah someone always dies before tentacles which is just embarassing and then at the end lot of people don't have experience since they never get there or just forget to turn away from medusa
ok so none of the weekly ones are important and can just pick what I want?
Yeah weekly tasks are just for the points, and a little nice silver/stone/leapstones
Urm is there a cheap way to get tailoring books atm
and is there an ideal time to use them or just any time below 100
11 Leapstones is kinda important.. if you do the tasks, pick boss rush since it should overlap with your guild quest and 5 PVP games for 22 over-all leapstones, and then another one of your choice
Asking because it seems like on reddit there was a tailoring metallurgy event thing and idk if thats still true rn (about 10 months ago?)
usually 6x dungeon for shards
You get tailoring books past 1302 on festive island
personally I don't use them before lvl 12
Well they will expire on 08.02
Safe them at your discretion
what is your success rate?
I don't think the t3 stronghold success rate boost is available for you
65 going down to 50 at level 8
kk
should I care about the other special materials available to use? (I dont have any)
if you have enough tokens to buy em after you buy everything else, then yeah otherwise no
buying leapstone and shards from the event are extremely more important, and will save you thousands of gold
What does pilot mean in a Brel?
means the person uses your account to clear content
which is kinda..
Hello, I am looking for someone who would like to play an account, I would like to borrow it because I just don't have that much time and would possibly do it together with another player, because I want to raise chars further.
Ah screw that lol
yep lol
how much silver do these give?
the one with just silver is ~100k rest like 5-10k iirc
will i get the same rewards if i choose the first one or will the 3rd one double the rewards
not double but higher levels give more mats
sell em to any merchant
aight
we dont do that here
Yes its
On the other side
alien invasion is cool. pic taken from amazon games terms of use
Is there a way to trade the stronghold excavating stuff for lower tier stuff? EG the stuff is the picture purple/green for grey?
yes 
you cant trade higher ones for white ones
or drag and drop them from inventory to the floor
its the biggest drawback of stronghold materials
is there something I should be using my farm for? seems a bit eh if it hardly gives me enough greys to make 1 item a day
really shouldn't use it at all
ah ok farm is just a dud 😄
ye can use it if ur lazy but dont depend on it all the time
i remember I used to get pretty good crafting stuff lazy gathering on the stronghold before the farm came out
I mean unless you will manually exhaust your life energy you shouldn't but otherswise it's just free stuff
It's just not great
ok then, fishing or archeology for orehas?
cheers
fishing is easier but archeology is a better value per life energy spend
downside of archeology is, that you compete with others
whereas anyone can fish at the same spot
can you dye all wingsuit skins?
Punika powerpass expired on January 18th
Ive heard about it, but north vern is permanent no?
yeah I think north vern is permanent
so hard to find info about this
at 1490 do you guys run caligos/the chaos dungeon that gives marvelous leaps? im doing it cause i want bracelet drops but im starting to think i want to do the one below so i can hone to 1500
using the GHLs
You should run 1490
You should hone to 1500 using your new brel piece
Unless it's your main I'd grind brel 1-2 until you have 2 items to get 1500
personally
Any honing you do with pre brel relic is now inefficient
my mains already 1540 so
Then hone your brel piece
i did but im like 3.6 off which would be like 3 hones
If you want to do g34 week 1 you hone it to +16 and it should get you there
Yes
But that’s still better than honing your pre brel relic
is it hone to 1490 standard then get brel item to hone higher?
which server are turks playing on? eu central ?
is it in terms of honor shards?
not worth honing the valten etc items higher than 20?
In terms of everything
Your honing percentage is so much better
id only need 1 hone of a none a brel piece and 1 brel piece that would save me like 84k honor shards from the upgrade process
always pick euc over euw as region, but I'm not sure about the specific server you're looking for
maybe ask in #eu-central-region-chat
But the main thing is that you’re not wasting any resources honing your brel
Because you need to do that anyway
Any honing you do on pre brel relic is wasting materials
You lose “free” ilvl when you convert and you also spend more resources per hone
is there a nice quick easy gearing guide somewhere?
I strongly suggest you hone your brel piece
Yes that’s right. 20 is the sweet spot
Or if you wanted to maximise efficiency, you can also hone one piece to 21 and leave one piece at 19
The 19 will give you even more free ilvl on conversion
If you still don’t believe me, just look at how much it is to tap on your +20 pre brel gear, particularly the leapstone cost and look at how many taps on average you need (should be something like 30)
cheers
is the hope amulet worth getting?
Hey I need a bit of help. What setting do I need to max up at AUDIO so I can hear when matchmaking is complete if I am alt-tabbed?
If you're really desperate for a guaranteed lvl 4 tripod, suuure
well what else should I use my stars for?
After you get full relic Brel what chests do you buy on Brel on main?
if you have plenty of stars, yeah buy it of course
Think there is a spreadsheet in #info-dump for all legion raid chests. But off the top of my head it’s something like 1,2,4,6
Or maybe just 1,2,6
hey guys quick question with summoner
so i'm only 500 ilvl atm so maybe i'm jumping the gun a bit, but it feels like i have to use all my skills just to kill one small enemy
dont get me wrong when i've got them all deployed it works wonders
but i just feel like im wasting all my skills for smaller enemies and then i have to wait for them to charge back up for bosses
is that normal?
im playing communication overflow
I would say in terms of priority: Legendary Card Pack (one-time) > Pheon (weekly) > Card Pack (weekly) > Honing mats (weekly)
the rest is up to you
ok thx
#summoner
Most endgame builds will likely suck pre t3 relic
yeah things might feel really clunky too until you get enough spec/crit/swift for the build
im trying to figure out this auto dismantle function
is there a way I can make it dismantle the amulets you get from the chaos dung that doesn't have wanted skills?
guys what is best region to join * new player
also this is what I've got it set it atm, is anything here going to screw me up:
you can't force it to dismantle amulets with the skills you don't want, you can only set it to exclude skills you do want
I heard the exclude gear with set skill tree level messes things up, you can see a basic setup here #info-dump message
hi
NA east is more populated than NA west
EU central is more populated than EU west
alr ty
that one didnt work either D:
the black queen right
oh
nevermind
it worked
thanks!
I might be really stupid but how do I end the Witcher quest? I tried using an emote in the circle or next to the other characters but the quest doesn't progress
ohh thx
is berserker a good class for beginners?
yo guys i cant change my skill tripods in trixion anyone experiencing the same issue ?
are the brel items basically the best to use no matter what? Is there any point in grinding the other three legion raids if I'm nearly 1490 already?
they are cuz they allow you to push further than 1490 easily
but also do lvl 2 set on clown

basically brel items -> push further more easily
clown -> enhance set dmg

ideally then if I understand, just push to 1490 asap then start grinding brel. No point doing vykas/valten once I've got to 1490 right? But the clown is still useful because he'll upgrade my brel tier grear right?
choose one raid from valtan/vykas to do
cuz u do get 4.5k gold
anyways
you can do max 3 different legion raids per week per character
ah ok so clown for tier 2 upgrades. brel for best items. Anything else if I need gold etc
val and vykas are literally just for gold thou right, none of their items are good after 1490?
well they still give u bones
which u can exchange for stone of chaos
or emotes
ah ok and I need stones of chaos to make the brel gear right?
but if I'm nearly 1490 I should probally save my stones to make brel gear instead of val/vyk gear
it's more for chasing quality upgrades since you still get more stones from brel

I'm on EUC, tell me if you need a free carry :p
is the new island just 5 days of quests and nothing more 
ooo do you play on zinnervale?.
niice great monthly update
rascal your gear is all broken isn't it
nah I'm on Armen, but we can still play together
make sure to keep repairing your gear regularly
yes
.....
broken gear gives no stats

OH MY GOD

looking at that screenshot before I can see the gear broken image just above the revive thing
why i did no damage
well we live and learn
and why my hp was so small
can i repair armor in game by any chance
i really dont want to do that again
not in dungeon
god damn it
you need aura for that
oh ive got aura
they have aura
anvil icon and repair

Pet is your friend
THATS SO EMBARASSING
i cant believe
ive been fighting
a boss for an hour
i just thought it was part of the story that i skipped
thats why i was weak

You can also repair tools and access storage in case you didn’t know
if you ever see this on your screen you are in need of repairs
idk then try verifying integrity of files in steam
should let it get to red
if it doesnt work then idk
always repair when its orange
thank you mr tank
we're running out of options here
the cost of pheons for transferring accs between characters was also reduced with the patch, right
yes they use the same as you buying from AH
okok
how do I get Become a Member of the Knights this damn quest
finish south vern msq
I came back to the game like 2 weeks ago, how fast is progressing from T1 to T3 with the new honing changes to T1 and 2 gear?
where do i find this hall of silence
go to any major city, use the search bar to search for "boss rush"
alright
I mean for alts, I dont really want to spend money on powerpasses for characters, but I already have 4 characters 1370+
does rapport oneshot to skip virtue checks still work?
yes
do tower on those its also really quick completing tower leaves you just a bit short to hit next tier
less than a day
gotta buy shards tho
the event ones should be more than enough tho

How good is paladin for going through tower? Or should I powerpass that support later?
paladin dps is not the greatest, so tower might take a while
well, im thinking about making a wardancer, scouter or paladin
idk how wardancer or scouter would feel in T1 and 2 though
slot in judgement and "chaos" build from maxroll
its not that hard
just go paladin 😄
you gonna be loved by everyone and never get gatekept even with shit build
scooter is pretty bad untill you get like 1.4k spec
wd is pretty poop untill relic set
after relic set wd is pretty op
yeah, all the streams and videos ive seen make me really want to play WD
idk, I dont have anyone that I play with, so i dont know how long ill keep playing, or if I can even consistently play until artist release
so ill just go paladin
can always go both
and well its an mmo you can always find some ppl to playa with
join a guild
Im on like the most underpopulated server
sadly, I didnt have much choice when I joined day 1
there still are ppl to play with 😄
and you can play with ppls from other servers too on 95% of content
im trying to go off of guild posts on the discord, but the last time someone posted for my server was December 8th
just a moderate size with active gm is all you need
and before that was november
look in the ingame chat
Go to punika and type in chat during peak times. Maybe like 6pm eastern time.
Is there anyway to automatically retrain your pet when you swap to an alt or do I just need more than 1 pet
i just startedd my first alt last night and all my mounts and pets were avaible to me
all pets and mounts are shared
you just have to take them out again
also you gonna need more than 1 pet if you run different stats on them
ah okay this is what i was looking for
also question from me in sinc eim really a noob, i just beat rohendel on my Artillisrt and im thinking i may wanna switch to being a machinist fulltime, is it to late to like make the switch? also sory if it s a dumb quesiton im pretty bad at all this, 😓
Are the any free pets available now other than the White Bunny?
not right now afaik
its never too late
and you gonna play more than 1 char anyway
ideally 6 since thats the gold limit
so basically just play what is fun t me and what i feel like devoting my mats and time to
but eventually if you play seriously enough you will do it sooner or later
my artillist isnt even 600 Gs yet :/
yes 100%
dont sweat it 😄
i also read that ppl in late game content dont like machinist ;-; cause of multiple rreasons or should i just not worry about that
dw
if you have a good build you gonna get accepted for all content some ppl gonna reject you but that happens on any class
Can I turn off the guardian raid animation when it dies?
ah i see
Like the cinematic
ty for the help
nope
So they really just said "Let's put 50 kill virtue achieves on a bunch of em, and have them spend like an hour watching cinematic" 😦
is it rmt if the buy price of an accesory is averaging around 1000
but someone bid on one for 250,000 gold

If the gold used is rmt, then I would contact support immediately
And not collect the gold in mail
can you still do the 4th legion raid even if you did 3?
guys, do we get anythin useful for the new island ?
e m o t e s, s t i c k e r s, witcher cards
so i guess again something useless XD
the cinematics are nice though 😄
youtube 🤔
at this point i just use this channel for non class specific and dumb questions
do ppl actually buy tripods? honestly? for any and all classes
smart ppl do
cheapos dont 😄
its really expensive but totally worth it
the damage boost is really big
at least all lvl 4's is mandatory
lvl 4 vs 5 is a ton more expensive and not that much of a boost but still hella worth it
i mean for lvl 5 tripods ofc
lvl 4 is a minimum for valtan imo
so sell lvl 5s got it
From 4 to 5 tripods will be for many classes a bigger dmg increase than a full engraving
So yes, many buy them, in fact too many...
Or not enough selling, either way I can't afford to get the ones I need 😦
was checking cause if ppl dont really buy much tripods i was gonna just change the notif thing for them and not bother
These emotes are very cool, include mokokos as well
if you're talking about guardian raids then they start as soon as you go in, you have to find the boss yourself or use flares
oh you find the boss
okay
doies urnil have infinite hp
lol
i do not see a health bar
nvm he ded
most raid bosses do not show the HB
guardian and argos especially, legion raids do show HP
is class tier list is a thing or sould i just choose whatever i feel like?
For boss rush is it one ticket per party or does everyone need a ticket to participate
everyone, same for cube and platinum field
choose whatever u feel like
I have full preordained 16.. do I now use the festive island books? And +17 you get valtan gear? then brel at 1490?
17 valtan hm 18 vykas hm 19 clown nm 20 g1-2 brel nm
Hall of the sun
and to unlock relic set
u can use the island book or the relic upgrading book
use the island books first tho
????
if ur asking this u should probably party find it u can solo it later on tho at around 1445-1460
guys on an alt should i knowledge transfer punika or its better to quest it normally ?
use the island books
konwledge transfer if u want to save time there is no difference
if you have 2 hours to spend questing, it's better to do it normally, it gives a bunch of exp
whats the better life skill to invest into for a gold tool?
im confused tbh 😦 my roaster now is 180 and the char will not be gaining gold just for extra mats farming
Oh kk
so the question "doing quests vs knowledge transfer" comes down to:
- Do you prefer to spend 2 hours questing or spend some gold to skip that?
well not as simple as that.....
if you're low roster you also have opportunities to level roster by doing it manually.
one of the faster ways to level roster is leveling alts
does anyone know how to create a raid group (group of more than 1 party) outside of a dungeon
u cant
probably spend some gold cuz questing is annoying
you can form a 4 man group in game and then enter your raid and finish?
ancient is 35 pheons right?
you can. tho i had to ask in game since they are more experienced
Is this fine ? 
is that in ur sh?
yes but u can make it anywhere
make one outside of your sh
so did u manage to make it outside of your sh? the only other place u can make 4+ parties outside of raids would be the gve boss
this is good yeah
ok
did it with half relic acc's since full are out of my spending range currently
😄
sadly grudge adrenaline is rly expensive 
AH feels kinda skewed currently
lots of people leveling i think getting ready for artists update
yep i can make it in punika too
it is normal that i have only 5 classes to choose when starting ?
yup
sub class choice comes after
test your choices to see how they feel/operate
ss?
this choice is kinda important
ok thx :3
Should I use my random card packs (epic and legendary) on max level or can I use them now? I am level 14
IMO the randoms use now... the pick ones save until you know what you need to pick.
Okay, thanks!
what is better dismantling or selling trash items to gear merchants?
comes out about the same
you generate your silver other ways... selling is not cost effective
dismantling would be the way to go then
yup
aight ty
HINT: use your auto dismantle but set it properly first
oh yes ofcourse
New player...just hit 1370 and did my first Argos bus. Feeling a bit "stuck" waiting on the weekly lockout for Argos. What are some things that I should be doing other than the standard dailies and such.
getting omnium stars / skill runes / giants hearts/ 20 island souls. All for skill points and runes for gameplay
did u do hard mode Oreha?
Make additional heroes (6 pieces) close collections (atlas, island souls, mokoko, paintings, adventures, and much, much more)
Is that the one with a series of 3 "dungeons" with 8 players or w/e? I have not been able to find a group for that yet. Sat in queue for a bit with nothing.
Any tips for where to start?
Orehas Well, all the way on the right if youre looking at abbysal dungeons
maxroll has guide on how to get these collectible items
this is one and they have for giants heart and skill point potions as well
3 dung 8 players is gate of paradise
tier 2 abyss dungeon
Oreha's Well is a T3 abyss dungeon, 4 players
Are skill point potions applied only to the character or is a roster wide thing
applied to roster
Thanks
Oh awesome
I started doing islands on my Shadowhunter and went “oh crap” for a minute there, thanks
Yes I did the 2 highest ones that I could.
what do you mean, to use the stronghold mats for crafting fusion mats?
it's a separate research in the lab
you need to research that before crafting with the setronghold mats
the ones with the house icon are farm materials for stronghold crafting (at farm tab)
you need another character to have manually completed rohendel for you to use another KT. each character that manually completes a story line stores a KT charge for you to use
stronghold farm recipes you either research or buy from the static vendors at you SH port
which stone cutting calculator is your guys favorite?
My mind
You know calculators aren’t magic
Cutting a stone is simply flipping a coin 30 times
Knowing that the coin is biased
And knowing the bias
The simple process that all stones make you do is that you should cut blue on 55 and above and cut red on 45 and below
That is it
well if you're optimizing a specific engraving it's a bit harder
Sometimes, yes, there is something extra to consider
But that’s also just logic
If you are going for 9/7
And you fail once on your 9 line
You know you cannot fail on that again
So you would cut 55s on your other line
And try to cut at 65 on the unfailable line
It’s really not that hard
if you were going 7/7 but it ends up being a 7/5 or 7/6 and you want your 7 to be on a specific engraving, you want the probabilities to maximize on the 7 which might not always be intuitive
? Why would that ever be the case
Unless you cut your stone last
Which is - quite frankly - dumb
to make the 7 engraving cheaper? for a 4x3
? You don’t need 7/6 for a 4x3 though
And to cut extra rocks to get one is also kind of smoge
yes 6/6 is fine but if you get 7/6 it ends up being cheaper, no?
Also, cutting a 7/6 is not even difficult
And it shouldn’t matter which line you do
As a beginner does it make sense to use amulets on tripods that arnt part of my build or just save them
4x3 is cheap either way
A calculator isn’t going to help you cut a 7:6 more than just using basic maths logic as I described
It’s better to understand the process from first principles if you actually intend to cut stones because using a calculator for sure makes the process take 3x longer
if you do too many you'll find it eats away at your silver
I’ve personally cut one 10/6, no calculator required 🤷🏻♂️
What's skill tree transfer?
What you do with amulets
Oh ty
Get one upgrades tripod from your amulet and transfer it to your tripod library at a %rate
So only use amulets that match your build?
For most people, yes
You should be tracking the tripods you need on your skills
Follow your class community guide
Oh kk
Which should tell you what tripods are important
Based on class build on maxroll?
Artillerist barrage
Shadowhunter demonic impulse
Dunno about artillerist, but DI SH only really needs like 3 tripods (your meter gain ones)
Look at the document
But it’s the meter gain ones on like, vision, howl, and … the red skill I forget the name
is there a way to shift characters between servers?i chose nernia on eu central but i heard others such as zinnervale are better
anyone in zosma server?
not magic but they handle calculating the probabilities to avoid getting 6/8 stones
You can’t avoid that. Read what I said - it’s just flipping coins
And at some point it’s just a logic “puzzle”
any probability is just 50/50 right? either you win or you lose 
I mean, no
It’s a biased coin
That’s how you have to think of it
@radiant flame what do you do in this situation? 45% success, no reds left and you want to maximize row 2.
Just what i'm looking for ❤️
You take row 1 obviously
Because if you think row 1 is “done”, it’s basically a “red”
no, because at this point 50/50 is no longer a threshold for leaning one way or the other given that the probabilities are so low
if row 1 hits, the next probability is 35%
which is not optimizing for row 2
Yes but it has a greater chance of failing than not
you have god on your side
Guys the new card deck from the witcher is a good alternative for people who doesnt have lwc and los (12 / 18) right ? assuming it will stay here after the event ends.
if you hit row 2 first, that chance is 45%, then you can dump the 35% on row 1, then whether or not it hits still gives you higher probabilities for successive hits on row 2. the cumulative probablity on row 2 is higher which is hard to calculate
Yes it’s a good set
Sure yeah I get you, you can try maximise the low percentage roll on top
But ultimately you’re just gaming at that point
And it depends on what you want to cut
If it’s a 7/7 I don’t see the point
If you want to 9/7 you are assuming a 45% needs to hit at some point so you can take the chance
But you are gambling on the 45 hitting so that you can cut 35
It has 5 pieces, there is something to put on the 6 slot ?
Nope
7/7, 9/5, 10/4 are all equally good
Stick in an LOS card if it makes you feel better
I guess so, but ill tell my friend to do the island, this deck will be arround ? or they will remove after event
I admit there are edge cases which can maximise for really good stones, but this is still quite rare and the difference is very marginal
the calculator helps if you arent trying to hit a specific stone like 7/7 or 9/7 but still want to maximize a particular engraving. i highly doubt the code behind these calculators is as simple as "if 55, hit blue, if want 9/7, cut 55s on the other line"
No of course not - it can calculate future probabilities and give you a full tree
But you are making it out like that is necessary for stone cutting
When it isn’t
Because the basic principle is still correct
i would agree it's not necessary, OP was just asking for a calculator though
i guess we both got our points across though
I’m just trying to make peoples lives easier. You can cut good rocks by just understanding how stone cutting works. Using a calculator is cumbersome and I don’t think it enhances the enjoyability of the process
I used a calculator before and honestly it was such a chore
it's definitely min-maxy and tedious
Mannn im so lost what to do with my 2x 1460 alts (Rest 4 is above 1500) since my plan was to replace them with artist/aero but amazon screwd it with 4 month for artist. What should i do with em ? Still raise to 1490 ? I wont make up for the gold right in 4 months ? I cant see myself playing them as a 7/8th alt not having much fun with their style.
in my eyes it was important if i wanted to save the pheons, so i was willing to go through the extra steps. in the end it probably didnt make much difference anyway
How much do you like them and want to invest the gold requirement to them at least be descent ? thats the question, because it will take some months for you to replace them
Any way to check how much DMG/stagger/whatever is done on MVP screen besides the "first place"?
I personally want to change 2 characters as well but still leveled up them to 1490 but i went for 4x3-2 at least to do g1g2 from brel what i think its fun, and i can also farm new mats for those classes when they come.
So much that i didnt touch chaos/graid with them after brel release and only done legion raids 
Using a third party parse for damage
But I do not advise that
As in, is it illegal? 🤔
It is against tos
Well you arent earning that much gold leveling up them
Artist is comming in 4 months, aeromancer we dont know
I want to know how much I did
If you dont like the class let on vykas hard
If you’re not top damage does it matter lol
I do not have enough knowledge to tell if I was doing good or not
If the difference would be 2-3% then it's not a big deal but if I am doing poorly and it's 10-20% diff then you know...
ye but its getting annoying waiting on pfinder cuz 4x3+2....ppl fomo way to hard even for a raid that is hardly a dps check
You should have a good idea if you’ve played well
I dont have any issues being 4x3-2
I tell them that i solo prokel and they accept me
Regardless, unless it’s equalised content it’s meaningless really
People can hone more
Get level 10 gems
You can mvp on anything if you tried hard enough and swiped hard enough
ye on last days before reset its whateva....but gl on resetday till weekend lol
What is your rooster level ?
People do count that and gems + card set sometimes that the reason
My deathblade 4x3-2 take mvp from a lot of 5x3 out there
Ye thats the issue...its not like i hate it but yea its also not full enjoyment playing them (glaiv,destro)
Fwiw I think clown (at not too insane ilvls) is a relatively good meter for how well you are playing
As there’s only 4 of you
Same synergies
And you should have a good idea who should be on top in each gate
Glaivier is in a really bad spot rn, but destro is really strong and everyone wants in their pt
188 ye my card luck is pure shit still need like 7 los cards ffs playing since launch
U mean to get los 18 ?
well im playing reaper thirst(main) , eso striker(formermain) eo SF, tai scrapper...u can guess my playstyle
will also play swift build aero when it comes out lol
ye
honestly it's an honest question, i usually hit all my big damage skills on back attack as reaper and have good uptime, but not always get upright fighter. i want to see if i need to invest more in gems/tripods, or maybe those are fine at the current level and im playing the class wrong. it wouldn't be as easy as "just buy more gems/tripods" too, because those are expensive and if i dont have to pay more gold to get the same output then i would rather invest in other characters
Anyone know if a charge skill needs to be fully charged to get the full stagger or weakpoints of the ability?
Stick to lwc 12 then, maybe change for specific fights on los 12, i also my thristy reaper, but i can say i have fun playing my characters, and i do have 2 supports fillers to make my life easier
Reaper is known to be quite low damage ceiling relatively speaking
ye kinda regret not having sups, i never wanted to create one cuz i wanted artist as my sup but yea atleast having 2x 1460 sups would of made life easier in pugs instead 2 more dps
You definitely need to invest in gems and tripods
But no DPS class is so bad that it can’t upright fighter
It really helps and u can exchange carry sup sometimes, my rooster isnt that awesome but i feel they are ok
right, but without knowing my damage share, i wouldnt be able to figure out how deeply to invest in gems/tripods (or if i'm at the sufficient gems/tripods threshold, how to fix my gameplay)
But I don’t know what you mean by this
Is there a list of abyss dungeon gold rewards
So if i still would play them in chaos/graids = raise em to 1490 to make the gold back, if i only plan to play them for legion gold income let them stay 1460 ?
There isn’t a point at which it’s like “level 7 damage is okay” for a DPS class
Yeah
i mean, im 1460 so getting 4x 10 gems is not exactly attainable
I understand it might not be there for BM reasons but at least my record should be visible if I am not mvp...
Of course

In therms of gold earning from raids you go for 1490 you will lose 2700 from argos to earn (4500 from brel assuming u dont buy any chests)
But your enjoyment of the class should be just that
If you want to play it you should invest
guys didn't paly Lost Ark for a while , did they ban bots?
Tripods are hugely important
Many of them but not all
This is why I said - try in clown
You’ll always see your contribution
so a diff of 1800 gold and headaches
I mean, honestly, if you’re not in clown yet, you shouldn’t be worrying about DPS
There aren’t real DPS checks in lost ark
it would matter in a static where everyone is similar ilvl
Except in hell mode
Why?
Yeah, only level up from there if u really want to play the character, then its worth
yes but they are back ;d
Even on ilvl no normal content has a real DPS check
Saint showed that with clearing clown with 1 engraving 🤷🏻♂️
people even cleared hell with 1 engraving
^
Fundamentally lost ark raids are about knowing mechanics and playing your class reasonably well
ye imma stay with them 1460 i dont wanna play more then 6 chars when i get my artist,aero so both of em will sit then at the bench forever
with a heavy emphasis on group dynamics
And there isn’t anything more to it than that. “Cruel fighter mentality” is nothing but an ego thing. Not saying I don’t have it, but yeah, not something to worry about if you haven’t even cleared all the content, IMO
Hello , is it possible to watch the cinematics of the Witcher a second time when we finish the quest ?
From the video memory thing?
No 5
I try but didn’t find it
😦 sorry don’t know myself, maybe someone else can help, sorry!
so do you overlevel the preordained gear? or just swap
Eh?
because festive island books go to +18
I don’t understand what do you mean “overlevel”
well when you get new gear at +17
Legendary and relic is the same base gear
then you convert the ilevel onto new gear again like from t3 to preodained +6 or not
ooo
very expensive clicks
No it just combines until that level
so I should be always pressing lv 9?
3 gems to upgrade to next level
Well, sure
Is there a reason to combine them into lower one
It doesn’t really matter
If you wanted to stop at 5
For example
And you’re in t2, those gems barely matter
That's why I go higher 😎
I would just not bother tbh
It doesn't cost anything right
Is Reaper bad?
No
when you first want to fill your gem register with the gems you want you stay at lower level
No
because higher level gems show us upgrades
It has a bad rep
ty
In any case you always want lvl9
Is there any reason to keep them at lower level? Or is it just "keep most important upgrades until you reach higher levels with random ones"
At tier 3 you want all your gems filled as a DPS
And slowly upgrade them all
Generally
Most people aim for level 5s everywhere
Then level 7
Then level 9
Because most classes have DPS spread between different skills
So it’s better to upgrade them equally on gems for that reason
So I'm pretty new, I have a paladin that rode hyper pass to 1445 and then some 1370s but I'm still figuring out what content I should be able to use matchmaking for, reasonable partyfinder, or pay for bus
Pretty sure u can get free carry oreha with your 1370's but for doing argos if you arent a support you must look to be arround 1415 3x3 engravings
And do the main raids on your main character
I see. And party finder for all of this right? Is matchmaking reasonable for anything?
I uhh haven't event grouped up for GRs or abyssals yet since I don't know the ettiquette lol
Matchmaking only for guardian raids
which is the most popular server for eu central?
And challenge content
kadan
Thank you
matchmaking will get you random ppl in queue
party finder is the lobby system basically for making handpicked groups
They’re doing a card run all the way to the yorn dungeons
There are 2 dungeons in each continent
So the first 6 abyssa dungeons
If im new, should i be doing the event
i heard you can get good honing materials?
idk how to get those from there
You should get a lot of snowflakes from running chaos dungeons
If you sail to Festivity Island, you can turn them in each week for a lot of pretty nice stuff
Snowflakes?
Yeah, the event currency
you get those from chaos dungeons?
If you look in your inventory, under the storage tab, under the content tab ther should be Event currency
There is "Joytide Star" in there, that's what I meant
You will get those from doing various activities, I have mostly gotten them from running chaos on different characters
Yeah you should check out the Festivity Island then!
It's enough to get some things, I think. It resets each wednesday morning
okay
To be clear, some stuff you cna buy just once during the whole event. Some stuff you can buy each week and it resets during maintenance on wed morning
How do you get level 3 on so many engravings when there are only two engraving spots
ah i see thank you
accessories come with engravings
There is some valuable stuff, like pheon, you should snarf up
I can't recall if there is a legendary card selection pack
might be a random pack instead of selection...cant remember
I'm near, I will go take a peek
Do I lose anything if I get rest bonus to 100 and then play chaos dungeons instead of running it daily?
Okay when I tcomes to cards and card packs/decks, I have no idea whats going on with that. Why are they good, what do they do for etc
lol
Ive just been adding them to my inventory
can i DM u? i can give a really good dteailed explanation
Sure!
Oh so primary source of engravings are accessories?
Copy paste it to my dms if you can 😛
yes and stones
I already got some information from people here
Oh i see
But more knowledge is always welcome
Looks like you can get 2 legendary (not selection) card packs from festivity event per event. Can get 10 pheon per week. Can get a bear skin if that floats your boat. Relic rapport selection chest. The ilvl 16-18 honing books are good value but only have until 2/8 to use them. Can get t3 honing mats like leapstones
The una instant completions /+1s are cheap (20 each) and nice for some of the more time consuming unas like the ghost ship
rest bonus is 75% reward, also daily runs means a bit more chances at the gold/red gates and also boss rush/cube drops i think? but you gain more sanity with rest bonus which is the important part 🙂
Does your stronghold not have that cavern with relics?
