first

all the rewards already obtained dont reset

second

you can only switch ONCE, NOT twice, NOT three times

if you're ok with that, just press the switch button

[uneven plover]

where would that button be?

oh nvm found it 🙂

[final mural]

yo i was in valtan gate 1 and we had a power outage how do i re enter gate 1

says i cant

[swift latch]

Can I use the free feiton Pass on my current server which was already claimed by mail on different server?

[sour blade]

Is it possible change the shoe dye to any other color besides that and white?

Dying only changes the pant color and turns the shoe to white only :(

[rigid fossil]

How is artist chaos dungeon clear compared to like the other supports?

[rich leaf]

is the mokoko trail only for 1 char?

[rose jewel]

wait for a reentry ticket, 5mins to 48hrs, if you get nothing, L for this week

everything is automated, so if you get nothing its the bot saying it was on your end and nothing you can do

[hoary knoll]

guys can i get galewind runes from guardian only if i soul harvest or also without?

[rose jewel]

no

and its a punika pass not a feiton pass

[final mural]

can i still get a gate 2 bus?

it was just gate 1

[rose jewel]

good

[rose jewel]

i believe so

[rose jewel]

you can farm them

[rose jewel]

no

[hoary knoll]

so no need for soul harvest

[rose jewel]

no need to have souls for the day to be able to get galewinds

[hoary knoll]

ty

[strange inlet]

how did ppl hit 51 on their artist so quick? did all my raids and im 50% only

[rose jewel]

SV MSQ

[hoary knoll]

play story and level it in stronghold

[final mural]

i need 5 demonic beast bone for relic 6 set, is there anyone to get it other than Valtan, since i cant reenter from dc

[rose jewel]

and dummy training

[strange inlet]

oh right SV

[rose jewel]

no

[strange inlet]

knowledge xferred it

[final mural]

this is so upsetting

[hoary knoll]

then do rowen

[frank iron]

Well, I did on one character multiple quests rewarding skill potions, but on my "new" main number of skill points haven't increased, have I done something wrong?

[rose jewel]

every single skill potions obtained from any quest from start to punika you already got it

check on the codex

you are supposed to have 408 skill points total with all pots and lv60

just do a bit of math and figure it out

every combat level is 6 from 50 to 60

[frank iron]

well, those quests gave me more skill points on character i did them on, that's what surprises me

[rose jewel]

that is incorrect

you're just drunk

skill pots are rosterwide the second you get them

[keen relic]

only pts char bound are the ones u get from 1-60

[frank iron]

I swear on my scrapper I had 4 unspent points, now I had 13 from 3 quests, artist still has 4/288 just as before

maybe im just dumb and im not realizing something

[sand pilot]

ur artist is lvl 50

whats the total on ur scrapper

[frank iron]

that is correct, my scrapper is 53 and I am taking that under consideration

[rose jewel]

its 306, yes or yes

[frank iron]

both yes and yes

I thought purple quests are roster wide also

[sand pilot]

did the purple quest increase the level of your character?

[frank iron]

nope

[rose jewel]

he's missremembering only

nothing has changed, he's just thinking on other numbers

his scrap has 306 and artist 288, that's just about it

its correct

[frank iron]

What I mean is, I was 100% sure purple quests are only doable on 1 character per account, I just did 2 purples that rewarded skill potions

[rose jewel]

no, you can do them on other chars

[frank iron]

and nothing changed in that case

[rose jewel]

but rosterwide things only count once

you can do the skill potion quest 100 times

you wont get it again

[frank iron]

okay, well sorry for dragging the topic then

thanks for explaining it to my dumb ass

[rose jewel]

not like the game explains anything

so its a good question

[fair bobcat]

this option for argos mats give more than dismantling it?

[snow wadi]

iiirc u cant dismantle it anymore?

[fair bobcat]

the argos mats you get

[rose jewel]

how about you try

[pseudo atlas]

sure is here and cannot be dismantled

[glacial egret]

AFAIK yes because it used to give 2-3 and now it's guaranteed 3

And the abyss one used to give 1 but now it's 2

[snow wadi]

pretty sure you can now trade it at the merchant because its now stored in crafting materials and cant be dismantled from there

as a substitute to dismantling it

[rose jewel]

because people never read patch notes

[swift latch]

I was referring the free feiton pass which I received after finishing Will quest

I've already used the free vern on the previous server

[fair bobcat]

ah new update!

[rich leaf]

[cobalt drum]

hii guys, im having trouble doing the artist's awakening quest. does anyone know who i need to talk to in luterra castle

[rose jewel]

feiton pass.....

there is not

a feiton pass

[rich leaf]

it exists

i remember it

[snow wadi]

back when glavier launched we got one

but that must one must have expired

[rich leaf]

theres one that u get from doing story

[snow wadi]

no

[balmy plank]

Did you PP your artist?

[rich leaf]

well, i do remember it, but do try looking it up online

[cobalt drum]

whats pp

[rich leaf]

powerpass

[cobalt drum]

ohhhh yeah

[balmy plank]

Powerpass. If you used you PP it skips the quest and you can go straight to Trixion to complete it at Beatrice

[rich leaf]

then ur 2nd awakening is in trixion

[cobalt drum]

ngl guys idk what that means

[balmy plank]

Use the Song of Trixion and talk to the pretty angel lady

Songs are under "F2" menu

[rose jewel]

yall tripping, a feiton powerpass doesnt exist right now

[minor briar]

dying smth makes every thing white, is there no slot for the shoes dye? thatd be weird

[rose jewel]

yes we had one with glaivier

[cobalt drum]

ohh do i just do the ground/special training?

[rose jewel]

it expired eons ago

[balmy plank]

No, no training needed. Just speak to her

[sour blade]

I didn’t see one but maybe I skipped over it, I thought there would be a shoe slot as well. I guess I’ll try and double check tomorrow again

[cobalt drum]

hmmmm so i abandoned the quest again but she still tells me to go to luterra

when i talk to her again there's no option

[balmy plank]

Just to confirm, what kind of Powerpass did you use? The Vern ones or the new Punika one?

[cobalt drum]

OH

the story express 💀

[balmy plank]

Oh I see, np. In that case it doesn't skip the quest

Uhm I'll see if I can find more info where to start. Some quests require to arrive in the area to show you where to go. After you arrive at Luterra Castle it may show a waypoint

[cobalt drum]

thank you braden

[snow wadi]

You could also ignore that quest and just move on with main msq if you're not intrested in doing it

Once you get to punika, you can powerpass another character, using this one completes the awakening quests for all your characters

[cobalt drum]

ooo i see

thanks doc :')

idk i just wanna get my awakening

[balmy plank]

Yea, waiting and skipping isn't so bad. The 2nd awakening quests line is very long and takes like ~10 hours

[cobalt drum]

nice.. thats good to know

thank you guys for the help

[summer osprey]

Hello guys how I'm up + then more
Easy ?

Without much loss

[deft gull]

Why is my messages getting auto-deleted in #preset-requests trying to upload images do I need to use imgur or something?

[lucid osprey]

its going to get harder until +20 like down to 3 - 4 % or smth
and after that you can convert ur gear someday to +12 or smth like that
to get 30% chance i think

[summer osprey]

i must all gear +20 for 1490 ?

[lucid osprey]

18 is for 1460
19 is for 1475
20 is for 1490

if im not wrong

[summer osprey]

okay

but how ?

its very hard

[lucid osprey]

yea first time is very slow

but it will get better once u have more characters

to funnel mats

upgrade the other stuff first

and use the additonal materials for weapon only

weapon most expensive

[summer osprey]

so

armor gear first

?

and weapon last honing

[lucid osprey]

u can do weapon once in a while if you have the addional materials

[summer osprey]

yes

but i dont have now

for relic

i have legandry

[lucid osprey]

i mean this

[summer osprey]

for weapons only ?

not for armor

[lucid osprey]

yea thats what im doing

[rich leaf]

maintenance compensation

ONE resonance elixir

[summer osprey]

now im hoinng without any additional material ?

[maiden locust]

gs players, is gs very ping dependant?

[rich leaf]

nah not rly, well depends i have 185-200 ping and im doing alright

i dont pvp tho

[maiden locust]

i see, debating between eso striker or gs

for an alt

[uneven plover]

I lost mokoko buff at 1445. Im pretty sure it said 1475 on the UI?

[minor briar]

there is a bit of input delay that gets annoying sometimes with the amount of buttons u need to press on gs

[maiden locust]

i see

[minor briar]

unless thats not ping and just on my end

[maiden locust]

i feel like eso striker should be better for my ping then

[pine plume]

hello ! someone know what's the use of Amethyst shard ?

[minor briar]

theres a shop for "special" things

[rigid fossil]

How is artist chaos dungeon clear compared to like the other supports?

[minor briar]

think shes better than both pre nerf, not sure about with sonatine on bard

but both of them were pretty good

[surreal mango]

Did i have to complete the whole punika story tonget access to berver quest for the pass?🙈

[minor briar]

berver quest is a post msq quest so yes

[surreal mango]

This game is much questing before you can hop into the reald endgame 🙈

[faint pagoda]

where do i find the free punika powerpass

[icy furnace]

Wasn't sure if this was the right place to ask, but does anyone else get fps stutters when using skills?

I don't think I used to get them back when I played, but happens very often now. I've tried capping my fps, running in both fullscreen and borderless and nothing seems to help.

[faint pagoda]

try setting your chat so it doesnt display EXP

I had then when i got the stronghold upgrade its a weird thing with the chat iirc

[olive fog]

Mail on one of ur chars

[faint pagoda]

thats gonna take a while to find

[olive fog]

Idk how it works but I found it on my second char

[icy furnace]

Huh this worked. Thank you 🙂

[cloud pendant]

Hey guys I accidentally crafted brel glove without having relic glove.

If I dismantle will I get full mats back?

[stray seal]

Yes.

[snow wadi]

Doesn't matter 🙂

[faint pagoda]

yeah its such a weird fix and i searched forever before i found that

[icy furnace]

Yeh its a little crazy, its completely fixed my issues just by not displaying xp.

Thanks again!

[faint pagoda]

NpNp my dude

[oblique minnow]

I can't start quest for South Vern. Could this be a bug?

The warning I got at the port you may dock after completing the bellion defense quest.

[buoyant herald]

it starts here in north vern

[maiden locust]

question about story express, after selecting a character, if I used powerpass to reach 1340, I still get the rewards from story express or I have to do finish the missions manually

[radiant flame]

No you can’t skip like that

You need to do the story manually to get express rewards

[maiden locust]

I see

[lost tartan]

guys i have one charcater at 1413 and other in 1457(hyper pass) what shold i do go all in with my 1413 to get 1445 or keep going on the 1457(hhyper pass)?

[buoyant herald]

hit 1460 and then push the 1413 char

[rich leaf]

a lot cuz theres like 3 types

the ducky?

140 if 1st-2nd place in the event
3rd-4th = 130

[crude gust]

do you guys have walth rune in your stronghold

[maiden locust]

while in stronghold, open area chat and ask, probably gonna be better

yes

it gives you double amount

[devout granite]

does any class use mp efficiency?

[lucid osprey]

Not really

[maiden locust]

Guys, can somebody check this spot in South Vern? (red circle)
My game instantly die when i go there, but i need because my quest ask it.

[maiden locust]

sounds like a corrupt game files, verify game files?

[unborn shoal]

does anyone know where i can find the directx settings i cant find them in the video tab

[maiden locust]

They changed it with recent update, the game only runs on directx 11 now.

they removed the setting for it

[unborn shoal]

oh i was wondering which direct i was running thanks

[graceful ledge]

a i cant decide who to story express on

[rich leaf]

[graceful ledge]

anymore chara w similar playstyle of my charas?
co summ surge db artist lc ss bard

[rigid fossil]

Those are all kinda different classes

Reflux sorc maybe

If you like supp you can add pala

[grave jungle]

if you use story express on a char then use knowledge transfer for north vern and continue the rest of main story manually do u get the last reward the juiced one ??

[radiant flame]

No I don’t believe so

I think the only way to get all the rewards is to do the story express properly as intended.

[grave jungle]

sad 😢 ty

[radiant flame]

I don’t really think you should feel sad about them giving out an event with free stuff which is tailored to new players

[grave jungle]

my plan was to get the rewards but i accidently used knowledge transfer

[hollow scroll]

maybe if you dont finalise the kt after the 8 hours it still works

[grave jungle]

reward progress 0%

[pseudo atlas]

rip

[foggy cape]

Anyone got a link to inven thread with current ark pass presets?

[faint pagoda]

did they change the honing rates or am i fine honing my argos gear

[minor briar]

wat + is it?

18 -> 19?

[faint pagoda]

ye

[minor briar]

just warning u that converting to brel gear would be cheaper

but u cant even get to 1490 with avg +20

[faint pagoda]

kekw

[minor briar]

tho u could go in with 18 weap and 2x +21 3x +20

for cheaper entry but idk, jsut a warning from the game

[faint pagoda]

yeah alright

[sullen sand]

guys, why i dont have the new players card set they gave us in my alt account

[radiant flame]

A completely new steam account?

Or just a different server?

[sullen sand]

different account

i mean new account has no cards yet

and the new account have 80 roster level

[radiant flame]

🤷🏻‍♂️ contact support? Idk should be in universal storage

[sullen sand]

done all quests

[radiant flame]

For what purpose. For selling leapstones probably not. But you get bracelets from Carl.

[sullen sand]

oh shit imma dump i find it

ty all

[radiant flame]

I mean. Literally impossible to quantify that completely. Because you could get a 200k bracelet drop.

[bitter halo]

anyone have those learning raids discords

[radiant flame]

I personally find kunge worse to fight anyway - if you don’t have destruction it’s awful and most likely slower than Carl

That depends on your region, but most likely kunge is worth more gold. Idk exactly how many red stones Carl drops as this is the other big difference.

[minor briar]

this server has some in the LFG section but i heard there was a mokokos discord somehwere, idk the link tho

[maiden locust]

I can't change character once I select it for story/hyper express event right?

[radiant flame]

I don’t think you can for story

[faint pagoda]

hyper express you CAN change once but not if you hone past 1445? i think

[radiant flame]

Hyper you can once iirc

[minor briar]

hyper u can once, before u use the honing event buffs

[radiant flame]

And yeah before the express buffs

[maiden locust]

so if I did even a single hone it will be locked right?

[near cove]

As soon as you hone to 1415 on any piece it gets locked

[radiant flame]

It’s the honing with a specific buff from the express

[marble inlet]

hi

can anyone guide me a bit

[maiden locust]

I see

thank you all

[marble inlet]

how exactly do i wanna go about getting to 1445 on my express char

[radiant flame]

You hone

[marble inlet]

ye but

once i cant anymore

[near cove]

Also when people bus vykas what do they use to combat the debuff from orbs ig one can time stop for the 3x

[marble inlet]

where do i start

do i go on my other chars

n farm there

do i farm on my epxress char

[near cove]

Still leaves like 1 orb tho

[marble inlet]

just a bit lost on what to do first

cause i just got back to the game

like i wanna get my artist asap to 1445

[near cove]

Just follow the express it's pretty self explanatory

[radiant flame]

Where are you

[marble inlet]

ye but i cant anymore

[marble inlet]

wym exactly

oh what ilvl

im getting on rn

im not exactly sure

my main is at 1437

[pseudo atlas]

each person takes a clone and uses time stop or splendid panacea to take 2+ orbs

[marble inlet]

my express char is at like 1420

but i wanna make my express char my main

but preferably i wanna get my old main + new main both to 1445

if u want we can call

and i screenshare

[near cove]

Ahh panacea forgot to those existed xd

[marble inlet]

cause i havent played in like over a year

[pseudo atlas]

I think there is one configuration you cannot survive, 135

and you just take the L or something and the other two clean up

[radiant flame]

No

You can’t cleanse

[pseudo atlas]

doesn't it only prevent the debuff from being added

[radiant flame]

It’s uncleansable

You can prevent

[maiden locust]

What orb

[radiant flame]

68 mech vykas g2

[left gust]

how many brel horns does it give to do 1-4?

[pliant pivot]

no u cant

[radiant flame]

28 with all chests, 10 more with auction boxes

[pliant pivot]

g1-2 gives 14 g3-4 also 14 assuming u buy all the chests

[maiden locust]

well its kinda simple, since you have two characters, one of them using hyper express,
you wanna ideally focus on it first, get it to 1445, that's the happy path, once it reaches 1445, you can then back to your other char and get it to 1445, so you can do hard valtan twice a week, for enough gold to hone whatever char u want to 1460

[near cove]

^^ fyi it only takes about 2k extra gold than what the event gives you to usually hone upto 1460 itself

So do what you will with that but if you get unlucky it can cost quite alot

[maiden locust]

event gives u 6k gold, that cant be right, I remember getting from 45 to 60 on my main costed like 20k, 60 > 75 costed 60ish

[near cove]

You get tons of books

Which pretty much x2 your odds

So like probability wise half the mats sorta

But i did not include fusion material cost or anything

[maiden locust]

cries in 100% artisan energy on weapon to make it 1490, 102k gold spent

[near cove]

Ehh maybe a little more close to 10k total cuz i forgot i got little unlucky on my wep as well

[near cove]

Oofers

That's why we don't tap wep :D

You can just tranfer +19 to brel right and do a 21 piece

[maiden locust]

yeah I should have done that, wouldn't cost me the same amount for weapon

[near cove]

Ye cuz brel honing bit nicer

But eh if your feeling lucky ig just keep tapping 😂

[true juniper]

Hello everyone, i'm a new lost ark player, my main character is level 16 but I noticed "Express Growth" next to it's name on the characters screen.

My question is : Am I missing the "real" storyline and already on a "express" version of the story or not ?
I would like to play through the "normal" story with my first character ideally

Thanks for your help

[near cove]

Tap away hope for a good day is my moto until i run out of gold ofc

[maiden locust]

that was a bad day, later that day when I was transferring the piece to brel, I didnt know the higher quality retains, and spent 5k more + chaos stones upgrading quality. to then just know my old quality got retained automatically

goodbad times

[near cove]

Is based on what you want and what you find fun if you see yt vids showing you all the raids and that what you want to do use the express if you wana experience all the expects of the game and take it slow skip the express it but i would highly recommend you do use it

[maiden locust]

+1

[near cove]

We live suffer and learn

[maiden locust]

truetrue

[near cove]

Is it cheaper to tap qual on brel or same costs ?

[radiant flame]

First thing - I would advise restarting on EUC

[true juniper]

It's my first character so I would like to go through the entirety of the storyline, but the "Express Growth activated" on my character bother me since i didn't activate it

[near cove]

Oh my didn't notice he was on euw

[maiden locust]

It costs a lil bit more, but you have better chances

[near cove]

Um wait is express growth what you see in the honing menu where do you see that tag?

[maiden locust]

is there even honing before lvl 50 ?

[true juniper]

Purple text on the character selection screen

[maiden locust]

can you take a screenshot so we ca nassist you?

[near cove]

Ye that would be best

Just hover over the char and send a SS

[true juniper]

it's in french, not so sure it will help but here you go :

[near cove]

Ye that's story express

[maiden locust]

+1 to this, you will really want to do that

sry for ping RFP, forgot to turn it off xd

[near cove]

So what story express is a event where the character gets like additional materials to sorta help you progress thru the game but if you don't wana do that you are only lvl 17 so it's not much trouble to start on a new char ig

[true juniper]

ok so I noted to restart on EUc , then how do I do to the actual story without activating express since i didn't activate it ?

[radiant flame]

You probably did without realising?

[true juniper]

I don't mind starting over

[near cove]

You won't have it activate dw

[radiant flame]

I don’t think you lose any story doing express

[maiden locust]

story express just gives you more rewards, doesn't add or remove anything story-wise

[true juniper]

I just created 3 characters (the first 2 are lvl 1) and started with the 3rd I crated : maybe it's the problem ?

oh

[near cove]

Ye you don't lose anything just wana add that you only gain like a helping hand in helping you streamline your game sorta it sets you inline with where you are ment to go

[true juniper]

okay

[neat lantern]

What ilvl can only story express rewards reach u?

[near cove]

There's usually a pop up window which comes when you log in you might have accidentally selected in that

[radiant flame]

I would strongly suggest doing story express

It’s very rewarding

And you should still get the story

[true juniper]

ok I will do, thanks. Then why do i have to switch to EUC ?

[radiant flame]

And all the dialogue

Because EUW is dead

[near cove]

^^ it takes nothing away from your game and will help you in the long shot

[radiant flame]

Different regions are basically different games

[near cove]

Euw is a little lower on population

So harder to find groups / endgame things

[radiant flame]

It’s not just a little lower

It has 2 servers lol

EUC has what, 10+?

[near cove]

Xd

[neat lantern]

It only gives these honing mats?

[near cove]

Ye prob but group wise it isn't awful

[maiden locust]

I guess after you finish southvern it stops, but at least 1370, cuz one of the rewards is leg t3 accss

[tranquil finch]

Hello guys! New player here, what do I do with all these necklaces and eraings? They are all pretty much the same, should I deconstruct them?

[true juniper]

ok ok, thanks for the advice 🙂 may I ask for one more thing ? ^^

Since I'm about to start all over again, who would you suggest as a first character ? I choose Paladin but I tempted to play with may be 3 or 4 other classes at least. Do you have any advice ?

[neat lantern]

Well how the fk we gonna reach 1460 with only these

[radiant flame]

There is a hyper express

[neat lantern]

Doesnt have that good rewarda for honing at least

[maiden locust]

you asked abotu story express, not hyper express xd

[near cove]

Pala is a very good first char it will help you progress the rest of your roster pretty rapidly

[radiant flame]

You can also, you know, do content

Like the rest of us bozos who didn’t just get given free honing mats

[neat lantern]

Ik hoped story express also give much

[vagrant sinew]

Hey just downloaded the game, I saw a video saying to join NA east since the population for NA west is pretty low. Is that still true?

[neat lantern]

Can i get 5 chars at 1460 with 160k gold?

[near cove]

Yes nae is your go to

[radiant flame]

East > west but west is not awful

[vagrant sinew]

Alrighty I’ll just do east and hope for the best haha I’m in the Rockies

[radiant flame]

From 0 with no other mats? Probably not

[near cove]

It's always the wests that get ruined smh have some diversity people

[maiden locust]

I started with paladin as well, not bad tbh, and in a kind-of enggame content its easier to join lobbies with supports

[neat lantern]

From 1370

[radiant flame]

If you have some mats particularly shards, probably

[maiden locust]

adding to that, it doesn't really matter, but you would want to start with someinthg you have fun with

[radiant flame]

But why do you want to do that

I would focus on one character to brel asap

Are your characters even geared

[vagrant sinew]

Next question, Reddit seems to be making it seem like supports are flooding the game, so should I still make a support as my first character?

[near cove]

1 char to 1460 every other alt sits at 1370 if you don't do that you are honestly wasting thousands of gold

[radiant flame]

Or are you just going to be a bozo riding busses for the whole week

[near cove]

Supports will always be in demand no matter what

[maiden locust]

that's no longer relevant

[near cove]

Rn there is surplus cuz everyone running artist

[radiant flame]

The newest class is a support and was released like 2 days ago

[near cove]

Give it a week or 2 it will be back to normal

[vagrant sinew]

Interesting alright, support it is then. Now which support should I go for since a new one just dropped as well

[radiant flame]

Supports are still good because you don’t need a huge amount of investment to be good for endgame content

I think paladin if you’re completely new and are okay with playing a male character

It’s super solid for learning raids

[maiden locust]

Male > paladin, female > bard, loli > artist

[radiant flame]

Downside is that it’s a completely borefest

Character to play

Also it’s male

[near cove]

Nah male best looking is defo desto or gl literally giga Chad's

[vagrant sinew]

I mean I don’t mind it being male

[maiden locust]

You did not just say!!!!!

[radiant flame]

~~why are you playing lost ark ~~

[vagrant sinew]

But I also don’t know if I want it to be Corning

Boring

[radiant flame]

All supports are kind of boring

[maiden locust]

yes

[vagrant sinew]

Cause I got burned out of bdo after 7 years

[radiant flame]

But still valuable

And you can make it interesting

Supports shouldn’t burn you out

It’s not that sort of boredom

[maiden locust]

if you want more action and life-threating fights pick any thing other an support,

[near cove]

Supports will be the gateway to your dps classes just sayin

[maiden locust]

at some point I reached a point on my main (paladin) where I just stopped dying, thats when I started making alts and getting oneshotted, and floorpov, best decisions

[vagrant sinew]

I think I’ll pick paladin to start and get used to the game before deciding on a dps and then slowly get it to my main

[radiant flame]

It’s just - as a support “main” - you lack real gear progression late on, and your playstyle doesn’t really change at all

[near cove]

The amount of support they provide is unimaginable unless you are willing to you know swipe a little

[radiant flame]

but it’s hugely useful to be a support and get into raid content quickly and easily

Without a huge amount of investment

And you can use that to help hone/gear a DPS alt

[vagrant sinew]

I heard gate keeping is an issue so I’m hoping as a support it’d be a bit easier

[radiant flame]

Which is precisely what I did

[radiant flame]

That’s exactly why we suggest support

Plus, playing support will make you a better overall player

Because you understand the limitations of a support when you play DPS

[vagrant sinew]

Yeah I’ve always been a tank in every holy trinity mmo but I’ve never tried being a true healer/support before so it’ll be interesting

[radiant flame]

Oh “healer” isn’t a thing in this game

Supports act as tanks/buffers

Heal is very secondary

[maiden locust]

you don't run to end of the map and crying why paladin shield didnt get casted on you

[vagrant sinew]

Oh interesting

I thought support would be more heal/buffers

[maiden locust]

well they all heal and all buff

but each has their own identity of supportive stuff

[radiant flame]

It’s just that raiding in this game is just very active, more focussed around avoiding mechs

A lot of mechs wipe

Etc

[vagrant sinew]

Like ffxiv raiding then

[radiant flame]

If your party needs constant heals you’re going to be sacrifice DPS buffs etc

But supports do provide a decent amount of shields for damage mitigation that way

[maiden locust]

for e.g. paladin has more consistent shields and solid 10% dmg buff, few defensvie buffs, while bard has more powerful dmg buffs, less shield uptime

[radiant flame]

That’s the reverse for shields 100% lol

[vagrant sinew]

Oh interesting so each support does something better than the other

[radiant flame]

Paladin shields are a joke

[vagrant sinew]

What about artist?

[radiant flame]

Artist is middle, sort of Jack of all trades

Paladin - easiest attack buff uptime and easiest utility because it’s naturally tanky, you need less than 1 hand to play

[maiden locust]

I mean bards are nice, but tbh 90% of bards I see are trollers, one time I asked nicely in party chat instead of raid, to cast the shield, and they replied "I dont want to"

[radiant flame]

Bard - “best” support, best stagger, best burst heal, best attack buff from identity, but generally requires some hands and coordination to get most out of it, average bard player will do less than average paladin

Artist - somewhere in the middle

[dire seal]

Exist any potion to maximum life energy?

[maiden locust]

anyways seriously, I think paladin shield is more consistent because main shield is like every 20s, in that time when on CD, there's other abelites that gives shield and dmg reduction at same time, while most of bard abilities are buffs, shield abiliy has higher uptime tho :"

[minor briar]

theres only +1k and +3k pots i think

maybe a +5k in purp tier form

[radiant flame]

I think the paladin shields are just worse from my experience.

[dire seal]

Where can purchase?

[minor briar]

mari shop

or from events

[maiden locust]

yes, 8% of max hp, + removes any debuffs

[dire seal]

Ok thank you

[radiant flame]

No

[maiden locust]

I dont think so, no

[radiant flame]

But DS is the most insane burst heal in the game

[maiden locust]

true

[radiant flame]

Paladin heal is again, kind of a joke lol

[maiden locust]

btw its viable to cast DS even with 1 bar right?

[radiant flame]

Anyway sorry I’m just super anti paladin

Yes

DS burst is not tied to how many bars

1 bar is just incredible heal

[maiden locust]

its fine xD your points are valid xd

[radiant flame]

I think it’s definitely true that a bad bard is awful

Same time a good paladin is also incredible

[dire seal]

@minor briarThis one right?

[minor briar]

if u think thats worth ye

but, i wouldnt personally

[radiant flame]

An exceptional bard cannot be matched by a paladin of the same skill, in terms of what they can do with a party, imo

But, paladin is by far the much easier starting point

[maiden locust]

isnt that the potions that refills your life energy?

[maiden locust]

that is true, you can easily spot a good bard by when they casting their buffs

[radiant flame]

Shrug. Impossible to tell from stats. Only through experience 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think if you assume incompetence

The paladin will probably give you more through hitting random keys

[maiden locust]

those bards casting the buff when sorc activate arcana is just godtier much respect

[radiant flame]

A bad bard will kind of seem like they’re doing nothing

[rocky agate]

i have over 10 legendary engraving recipes should i sell them all now because price lowered or wait till price goes up again?

[maiden locust]

lmao I just noticed your pfp yikes

[rocky agate]

alr appreciate it

[hoary sorrel]

when should i use fused leapstones? im 1445 atm

and is it always 100%?

[sleek marsh]

are you asking if fused leapstones are always a guaranteed hone?

[maiden locust]

its just the same as honing normally, but without costing you any materials

[hoary sorrel]

y

[radiant flame]

And it doesn’t grant artisan energy

[sleek marsh]

fused leaps are a free tap that don't give artisan and only look at the base honing rate, so they're best on gear that you haven't tried honing yet

it also takes a lot more to tap on a weapon so usually people do it on armor

[tidal basalt]

my stronghold has no merchant in it, do they only spawn sometimes cuz I thought there would always be a random one visiting

[maiden locust]

Which island siege is the level 5 gem today?

Fused leaps are guaranteed hones if youre lucky

[hoary sorrel]

i thought it upgrades my item instantly?

[radiant flame]

No the 100% is your shards

[sleek marsh]

to use the special hones you need to fill it up with shards/silver first

can't do it raw

[hoary sorrel]

ah xd

[radiant flame]

If you click special honing

It tells you the %

Which I think is 5% iirc

[hoary sorrel]

5% xD

[radiant flame]

You might 1 tap 🤷🏻‍♂️

[hoary sorrel]

i guess its better to do it on armors

cuz only 12 not 30 as weapon

[maiden locust]

Yeah. I also only do it on armor

[sleek marsh]

you're more likely to hit on armor

[radiant flame]

But yes, as someone said above, most people save a bunch and then use all on an armour

[sleek marsh]

but it's better on weapon

[maiden locust]

if only it was that easy

[sleek marsh]

int erms of if u hit i mean

[radiant flame]

Because you only get “value” out of them if they succeed

[hoary sorrel]

WTF

it 1 tapped at 5%

[sleek marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/pog-gif-18706773

[radiant flame]

Nice

[maiden locust]

[radiant flame]

Now don’t complain about bad RNG

For at least 2 weeks

[maiden locust]

congrats

[radiant flame]

Oh I thought you 1 tapped weapon

[maiden locust]

TRUE

[radiant flame]

Just 1 week of no complaints

[maiden locust]

Bruh can someone tell me which siege gives the level 5 gem today plz. 😂

[hoary sorrel]

im scared of honing now ;<

[maiden locust]

that new feature is giving me orgasm, no longer needs to spam my G key

which one should I pick for artist?

[sleek marsh]

Eventually you just tune out honing, you either hit it or u don't

[sleek marsh]

you get both

but 8 cooldowns for artist as she's a support

the others are damage gems if you want to set up for chaos dungeon

[maiden locust]

Oh nvm im blind
I thought I have to pick one between them

thanks a lot!

[sleek marsh]

[dire seal]

Yes, I want refills life energy

[sleek marsh]

it's kind of a waste to buy life energy refills from the shop but if that's what you want that is the correct thing

it's only 3k energy tho

[maiden locust]

imo you shouldnt buy energy refill

it just takes so much time to do trade skills

Besides the guild recruitment channel, are there other places with those postings?
My server is dead so its the same 5-6 guild spamming their guild listing

[sleek marsh]

There is a lost ark facebook i think? and a thread on the forum for recruitment

[radiant flame]

That doesn’t sound like a dead server if you have 6 active guilds?

[maiden locust]

Okay. Thanks. I'll check the forums

and ew
I got 2 sprinkle dmg gem

is that im fked?

[sleek marsh]

can also click rankings on guild tab and see the high ranked guilds in ur server

[steady coral]

Is there a guide on how to set up automatic dismantle correctly? how many engries should i save as favorites etc. etc. stuff like that

[radiant flame]

Some servers have their own discord channels too

[hoary sorrel]

now 1 tapped weapon at 15% 😄

[maiden locust]

you can reroll them from gem npc, even gems are free to reroll

[sleek marsh]

some of the guilds will hopefully have their discord in the intro or you could reach out to the leader and ask for an invite, any big guild will likely have a discord even if they don't post it here

[maiden locust]

You fulfilled the prophecy of RFP, now its 1+2 weeks of no complaints

[hoary sorrel]

but i failed another 4 at 5% before

[misty eagle]

hello i have a question: what's the purpose of having a limit on card storage set to 200? is there a way ton enlarge it?

[maiden locust]

minor set back,

[hoary sorrel]

what are the rewards for hard vykas?

gold i mean

[maiden locust]

Pay blue crystals to get more card slots

Are these so hard to get?

[misty eagle]

is it worth?

[radiant flame]

4500

[maiden locust]

Imo, all cards are worth because they give you passive stat boosts even if its not a good card set

[maiden locust]

you can by 10 more for 50 blue crystals

[radiant flame]

Yes cards are reasonably important for maximising endgame damage and stats

If you are literally just starting out it’s probably lower on priorities

But the expansion cost (which applies to your whole roster) is kind of minimal when you get to endgame

For now if you can’t afford it just stack the extra cards in your stash

[misty eagle]

ok! thanks man

[maiden locust]

should you spent blue crystal to expand card storeage then

For supports, u use You Have A Plan set now instead of field boss, right?

[radiant flame]

Yes damage > hp

[cyan iron]

does anyone know what happens if you knowledge transfer the story event character?

[maiden locust]

Believed so
but I heard that lwc 30 is better

[radiant flame]

Lwc30 is definitely better

[maiden locust]

I dont think you can do that

[radiant flame]

But lwc30 is only useful at 30

[radiant flame]

You lose rewards

[pseudo atlas]

and also requires everyone else to be using los

[maiden locust]

so if your party dont have los30

you should use plan A?

[cyan iron]

[viscid osprey]

questions regarding valtan part 2:

1. Can I accidently pick up multiple blue orbs?
2. Do blue orbs last long enough (until the wipe mechanic) or is it possible to pick them up too early?
3. Is there a way to know beforehand which area he will strike during the first wipe mechanic (first attack, after he raises his axe) or is this just reaction time?
4. How do I know which person he will charge?

[maiden locust]

Im no where close to lwc30 or even los 18

[maiden locust]

🤔

[radiant flame]

They can have los18 and still be fine

[maiden locust]

1. Blue orb doesnt matter, you just use sidereal afterall
2. Same logic, blue orb isnt really the main thing to worry about as ppl just use sidereal to get immune/dmg reduction
3. usually ppl just stack tgt at the same pillow and wait him to charge at

just some of my valtan experience, I may be wrong at some spot

[radiant flame]

If not using sidereal

Blue orb buff is permanent (you can’t run out)

[maiden locust]

isnt that the currency for pvp ranked season ?

[radiant flame]

You can pick up multiple (obviously you shouldn’t if you are doing the mech properly)

[maiden locust]

I mean, sidereal just prevent someone taking more than 1 orb

[radiant flame]

The axe is centrered in front of him but you should have enough time to react

[hoary sorrel]

1tapped another 5% xD

[maiden locust]

Ban please

[minor briar]

theres one in #info-dump but its outdated

[maiden locust]

It may be true but I think how hard it would be to get 2000 currency

[hoary sorrel]

im 1 item off +18 in less than 10 taps

[pine plume]

no he will fail his next 95%

[maiden locust]

is auto-dismantle only available for aura users

[minor briar]

no

[radiant flame]

No it has nothing to do with aura

[minor briar]

its ez

[maiden locust]

but why my auto-dismantle doesnt work

[hoary sorrel]

i was going to buy normal vykas bus but now im getting hard one i guess?

[minor briar]

u can check the rewards with alt + k

[maiden locust]

[minor briar]

u set it up wrong

[maiden locust]

really?

[minor briar]

well getting to the rank is the hard part, the currency is jsut free

when u hit x rank

[radiant flame]

I mean I think you should do vykas

[maiden locust]

yeah if you can push that one item, then just wait for it and do hard

[pseudo atlas]

you set it up wrong or it's raid loot which does not get auto dismantled (but they added a button to auto select based on auto dismantled settings)

[maiden locust]

I dont think I screwed up the settings (?

[sleek marsh]

you should learn vykas instead, more fun

[minor briar]

yes u did

LOL

[maiden locust]

wait where

dafuq

[minor briar]

ur not dismantling any accs

[radiant flame]

You unticked access

[pseudo atlas]

you have no accs set to dismantle

[hoary sorrel]

dont have friends

[maiden locust]

oh fk youre right

WHY IM FKING BLIND

[radiant flame]

You ticked stuff that no longer drop lol

[minor briar]

also u can go to relic if u have marked engraving settings on

[pseudo atlas]

either way it also doesn't dismantle raid loot so you have to go into the dismantle window and hit the button

[maiden locust]

I was using it since T1 during my questline run with my sorcs, I thought it will update automatically for some reason I think
and till someday I saw it doesnt work, I just ignored it and let it be

I must be high or smth

[sleek marsh]

at least on NA there is occasionally learning parties in the evening, and if you get into a guild a lot of them are usually helpful to newer players and can help u

[maiden locust]

+1 but thats irrelevant, there's learning groups, and u can even host one yourself

[hoary sorrel]

but now im 1460 and have to do harder version of vykas ;<

[radiant flame]

I strongly suggest at least trying to find people to play with

It’s an mmo after all

If you bus all content

You are basically a bot

[hoary sorrel]

i can do argos 🙂

[radiant flame]

Shipping your gold to bus drivers weekly

[maiden locust]

Not really in Mari
Just got kicked recently from learning team where I obviously need to learn the mech before I know how to do properly
and I got kick after dying 3 times in vykas

just personal experience

[sleek marsh]

party finder is the entire region

[maiden locust]

I joined a learning party for G5. The party disbanded after 2 fails

[maiden locust]

idk then perhaps im bad luck?

[radiant flame]

We’re not saying it’s easy.

[maiden locust]

I joined 3 learning parties so far

and got kick every single time

[radiant flame]

But this game is about raiding

And if you’re not doing it

🤷🏻‍♂️

[maiden locust]

so I gave up and find my friends irl to do raids

[sleek marsh]

hm, i'm not sure then. My guilds helped a couple new people that've started in the last few months

usually they've had ok experiences in learning parties

[radiant flame]

People do get frustrated even in learning parties

But remember they’re human too

[maiden locust]

Sometimes parties sucks sometimes they dont, I had people trash talking when I first started doing vykas, but after some tries I found a party where we tried doing vykas for 12 hours straight until we all learned it

[radiant flame]

Everyone has a limit

[maiden locust]

just try your luck even if party got disbanded, you still got the expereicen

[radiant flame]

I organised a clown learning group when it started

[maiden locust]

I heard my friends saying sometimes when they do brelz
they saw ppl naming the shapes in werid ways
such as not calling venn as venn etc

I dont get why people hold learning parties and then rage and insult after not even a lot of tries.
Just dont hold it at that point

[radiant flame]

But I had to ditch people when they literally couldn’t get into mario 1 consistently after like, 2 hours

[maiden locust]

and some learning parties just have ppl typing a different language

[radiant flame]

As I said, people will be people, they’re not robots

Some people expect some knowledge of some mechs when you join

I’m not defending them or what they say

[sleek marsh]

it can be frustrating to watch someone mess up the same mechanic over and over again when it seems so simple to them

[maiden locust]

doesnt mean dying 3 times deserves to be kicked

[radiant flame]

^

[radiant flame]

Sure, maybe not

[maiden locust]

I think an important part of learning party is to communicate with your teammates, if someone is unwilling to talk or learn there's no point for him to take a place instead of someone who wants to

[radiant flame]

But you shouldn’t extrapolate to all parties

[sleek marsh]

the swamp bridge in g3 vykas is an easy example, most of the time that mech takes a hadful of times for it to fully click with someone new

[radiant flame]

That’s all I’m saying

[timber elk]

you cant break down argos blood for leaps anymore?

[radiant flame]

There will always be some toxic people

And some people who you just won’t get on with

Doesn’t mean you just stop trying to learn 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sleek marsh]

There is a new merchant to exchange it at

In punika he is near the legion raid exchange guy, don't remember the name right now

[timber elk]

ah I see, thanks

[viscid osprey]

thanks

[maiden locust]

is that other boss drops also dismantle-able now?

[sleek marsh]

The stuff from oreha is too, it exchanges for 2 leaps per thing

[maiden locust]

I mean like tradable

[sleek marsh]

1 leap if it's the normal one

[maiden locust]

for mats

[maiden locust]

👆 prioritize having fun, keep trying until you learn, I can guarantee you its very satisfying when you finally see that screen that you finished the raid

[shy vector]

anyone else story express bugged?

[sour harbor]

is this the right chat to ask help with class builds?

[radiant flame]

You can ask some basic questions

More detailed discussion is probably appropriate for the specific class channels

[errant crypt]

New player here.
I (level 24) have just unlocked the professions stuff like Mining, Gathering etc. and I have a few questions about it.

1. Can I max all of them, or I can focus only on a few ?
2. Which one should I pick/raise? I am a bard, if it matters.
3. Are they easy to reset, exactly like skills?

[pine plume]

or community guide 🙂

[radiant flame]

If only because they would know the class in more detail and have people who play the class

There is also a community guide ^

Pinned in all the class channels

[radiant flame]

Most importantly - I would restart on EUC

[pine plume]

iirc you can up all 🙂

[errant crypt]

Already on EUCentral, missclicked the server selection on discord, idk how to change it now

[sour harbor]

where are the specific class channels?

[radiant flame]

Life skills are medium/low importance. They take a lot of time to be useful. There are also specific breakpoints

[radiant flame]

#navigation unlock them there

[zealous smelt]

am i glitched? ive left the dungeon and redid and still cannot open either door...

[radiant flame]

If you are progressing I would recommend ignoring them for now

[elder sierra]

i just reached 1445 what can i do to get relic gear ?

[radiant flame]

Do HM Valtan and at 1460 do HM vykas

[errant crypt]

Ok changed it

[radiant flame]

Anyway you can also ask it here and we can try help

[elder sierra]

ohh i see

[errant crypt]

What about this:

I (level 24) have just unlocked the professions stuff like Mining, Gathering etc. and I have a few questions about it.

1. Can I max all of them, or I can focus only on a few ?
2. Which one should I pick/raise? I am a bard, if it matters.
3. Are they easy to reset, exactly like skills?

@radiant flame

[radiant flame]

I responded above

[maiden locust]

you can unlock class channel by getting the role for it from #navigation also you can get community builds from any channel by using the slash commands for e.g.

[sleek marsh]

I might be misremembering but isn't there some sort of lantern you pick up in this area?

[errant crypt]

So i should just ignore them for now until i get to level 50?

[radiant flame]

Personally, yes

[minor briar]

in wat way

[pseudo atlas]

drop the lamp

[sleek marsh]

ah yeah, the lamp is literally in their hand

[zealous smelt]

i am so stupid.. thank you...

i thought i needed it to open the door.. zzzz

[radiant flame]

Later on, if you want to invest in life skills, getting 30 foraging, 20 fish/excavation will be the most “valuable” IMO

They are quite key breakpoints for those skills

[maiden locust]

yes, once you hit lvl 50 they will become "more" relevant you wanna start using the correct skills and understanding rotations, so you get familiar with it

[shy vector]

Planning on just opening a ticket, doesn't seem like I used on any other char

[radiant flame]

But it is a huge time sink with very little immediate reward

[maiden locust]

"real" build starts at 1415

Life skill is pretty good for gold early on though. Those fish prices are through the roof

[minor briar]

u can only use it on a new char

[pine plume]

if you want to gather a little during leveling, perhaps some wood/iron for upgrading Stronghold

[maiden locust]

is that true that grand prix has mokoko?

[radiant flame]

No

[pseudo atlas]

no

[sleek marsh]

no that's a joke from last time it was around

hidden mokoko in the back

[maiden locust]

Oh fk im getting scammed

[shy vector]

Yeah, maybe brain turned off and I click on a char and deleted them on accident

[radiant flame]

Correct

[maiden locust]

Trust me. Theres a secret mokoko seed there.
My uncle who works at smilegate told me

Ninveh best girl.

[maiden locust]

I keep getting brainwashed by area chat yesterday during prix

so I thought its real
and I saw google having some random image of it

[radiant flame]

Rip. I think it’s a reasonably solid rule that there will never be a “temporary” (event) mokoko seed/other collectible

[maiden locust]

ye I knew that wont be possible
but when you see ppl keep talking about it

my brain kinda stop functioning

you got catfished

perhaps gaslighted

[sleek marsh]

gaslighting would be more if you said you couldn't find it and they kept trying to convince you that you were too dumb to find it

[maiden locust]

oh

[sleek marsh]

[maiden locust]

I guess I didnt learn English properly

[sleek marsh]

it's ok a ton of people get gaslighting wrong

[maiden locust]

I mean im not a psychologist or smth

Oofsies, I was moving in prideholme and clicked on a vista and it gave me progress in tome, not sure how I missed it for the past 1500 ilvls

[sleek marsh]

u don't have rethramis maxed yet?

[errant crypt]

As a new player, is there anything I shoul do to properly raise my character in an appropriate way?
Like, anything to pay attention to, not wasting something, etc

[sleek marsh]

don't bother buying anything from the market at this point

push to tier 3 as quickly as you can

[maiden locust]

May regulus forgive me cuz sacrian preists (aka you) wont

[minor briar]

not really, if ur using story express then u dont need to worry about anything til ilvl 1340+

[errant crypt]

Yeah, doing it

[minor briar]

ye ur fine

[elder sierra]

after i farm mats for relic gear what set do i get ?

[minor briar]

depends on ur class

[elder sierra]

i am shadowhunter

[minor briar]

check ur class guide with /(class)

[elder sierra]

okay

thank you

[hoary sorrel]

how many legendary cards do i need to upgrade light of salvation set from 6 to 18?

[maiden locust]

a lot

[radiant token]

How does Ether Predator orb colection work? Lets say I have full stacks and get another one, does it refresh the full duration for all stacks?

[maiden locust]

each awaken level needs n cards of it

lvl 3 awaken needs 3 copies, lvl 4 needs 4

etc

[hoary sorrel]

so first awaken need 2?

[maiden locust]

this

1st lvl needs 1

2 needs 2, until 6

[hoary sorrel]

a ok

its 6 lvls

so lvl 12

its 6 diffrent cards

more

[sleek marsh]

every orb you pick up refreshes duration

[maiden locust]

what isaid is per card

[hoary sorrel]

so the smalles amount of cards would be 6x 2 awaken?

[near cove]

The yearning sets 10 wings a piece right

[maiden locust]

6 cards with 2 lvls on each = 12 awaken

[snow wadi]

has roween hidden quests giving card packs?

[hoary sorrel]

does the first 6 count?

[maiden locust]

no

[hoary sorrel]

ok now i see

thx

[maiden locust]

awaken is calculated with the crystal icon on the card

[sleek marsh]

A new set was just added, Deep Dive

that is farmable

almost as good as los

[swift dust]

hi. can i dismantle argos blood still?

[sleek marsh]

exchange at new merchant, the one in punika is near legion raid exchange

[near cove]

You trade it rather than dismantle

[maiden locust]

I did my challenge island today but I have a rapport quest on one. Can I go a second time just to do my quest?

[swift dust]

thanks

[turbid eagle]

would like to ask about what to do on my T1 +15 gears to my T3 +0 gears that i just got from using punika pass, i cant direcly use gear transfer sadly.

[viscid osprey]

is deep dive better than los 12?

[sleek marsh]

sell it or keep it for fun

[sleek marsh]

yes. los 12 does nothing

[timber mauve]

Los12 is only usable in like 4 fights in the game. So I’d say yes.

[turbid eagle]

;( i see, thanks, so i have to go from +0 to +15 on my T3 gears again?

[sleek marsh]

yes

[timber mauve]

Oh boy

[turbid eagle]

damn, guess i shouldnt have done that lol, well, thanks

[sleek marsh]

no

[near cove]

It's practically free dw

[sleek marsh]

you did nothing wrong

that's how tiers work, you would have done that normally

when u hit tier 2 you would have gotten new gear to use

[near cove]

The express event makes 1370 freee and everything after that is a little effort

[turbid eagle]

ohh, i see, yes, i thought nomrally we all start with like +6 at least

[timber mauve]

1445 is basically free if you don’t rush it.

[timber mauve]

Enjoy your high honing chances while you can.

[sleek marsh]

honing to 1445 has 0 gold cost so as long as u got mats ucan hone :^)

[maiden locust]

cries in 3% chance

[near cove]

Ok this might sound stupid but save valtan bone to craft wep / piece to get high qual?

After you ctaft the main set ofc

[timber mauve]

You only need bones once.

Then you can trade them for chaos stones I guess

[near cove]

But like would it be stupid to craft more pieces in the chance of getting higher qual to great transfer to?

[sleek marsh]

yeah don't waste your time with that

quality isn't really that important till you start getting relic gear

and relic gear has a system to upgrade quality that is cheaper than crafting new gear

[timber mauve]

Yea, it’s stupid. Just use the quality upgrade npc.

[maiden locust]

Is there a way to roll your express event progress back by contacting support?
I used it on artist but bard feels so much better with the animation updates

[near cove]

Cool xd

[timber mauve]

Idk, you can try.

[near cove]

Are u 1415 on artist?

[fringe talon]

Is it worth buying Vykas bonus chests if you don't use Wings for your relic gear?

[maiden locust]

Yeah. Exactly 1415

[near cove]

Rip you can try tho

[sleek marsh]

No, they won't be able to do something like that but it only costs time to try

[sleek marsh]

the g3 box is worth it for the mats to hone your character

[maiden locust]

Yeah. I'll just try sending in an email ticket

[frosty bay]

why does my awakening shards (chaos shard) keep disappearing?

[fringe talon]

Thanks

[sleek marsh]

you are using them

[near cove]

Are you pressing v

[frosty bay]

I bought 100 yesterday

Used like 5?

[sleek marsh]

they cannot disappear randomly you've either been using them or put some in storage

[frosty bay]

And I just logged in and they are gone again

Bro

[timber mauve]

Maybe you got… tipsy last night. They don’t just poof.

[frosty bay]

The "Move All Duplicate Materials" button

[sleek marsh]

hahaha

[frosty bay]

I have 10k in storage to share with my roster

broooooo am i high

k thanks got it

[final star]

do i really have to spend all my gold lifesavings on simple oreha fusion materials to upgrade my 1340 alt?

[fringe talon]

Craft the ones that use the stronghold materials

[broken orchid]

maybe an odd question:

Which classes require looking down at the skill bar the least? I guess I'm looking for classes that are rotation-based and not reliant upon watching for cooldowns..

[radiant flame]

I would have thought not that many even require you to look down? It all becomes muscle memory a bit at the end

I don’t know what you’re specifically looking down for. Just for cool-downs?

I think that’s part of understanding rotations though, and I still sort of do it but don’t find it too awkward given the UI is - I think - pretty good

[broken orchid]

With Deadeye, I feel like I have to constantly glance down at the bar, confirming the stance, all the skills are long cooldowns so checking which are available, etc. I know Deadeye is one extreme here, but what would be the other side of that extreme?

[radiant flame]

The only really awkward one I know is igniter for doomsday cool-down

[radiant flame]

I mean, I guess any sort of high swiftness class where you just piano

Swift reflux, control glavier, Swift taijitsu

Etc

Supports

Yeah stances can make it a bit awkward for sure

[vagrant sinew]

Does actual server matter?

Like under the NAE

[radiant flame]

Not really

Just for stuff like guilds and islands

[broken orchid]

@radiant flame Those examples should help. Thank you.

[radiant flame]

I do think it gets better with more experience/understanding of the class

[vagrant sinew]

How do I find out which is more populated

[radiant flame]

Specifically with deadeye (and I’m speaking from experience with GS), you’ll eventually have an idea of which skills come off CD together and where they typically fit in a rotation, things like that

[vagrant sinew]

Or is it kinda like cross server under one data Center

[broken orchid]

Valid. I'm just bad at hammering something while it is still cooling down, or missing it when it's available. I'm sure that does get better with experience, but would like to try something that's perhaps more my style if I can find one.

[radiant flame]

Have a go at taijitsu scrapper

It’s one of the “easiest” DPS classes to play

But you can start learning how to rotate skills and manage cool-downs

[broken orchid]

I'm not sure 'easy' is quite what I'm looking for. Maybe like a complex, but static, rotation.

[radiant flame]

Oh, something like FI wardancer maybe

I only mean “easy” in the sense that you can have more fluid rotations which allow you to learn in a more flexible way

I am not a WD player, but signum who is here a lot of the time is and he can give you more advice on that if you spot him on

[broken orchid]

Right right. Lots of good examples. I'll watch some gameplay on those and see how they look. Appreciate the insight.

[radiant flame]

No hard published numbers iirc

Best to ask someone from NAE

Or just have a guess from looking at guild recruitment pages

Which servers have the most active guilds

I think datmodz plays on NAE? Given he’s like, one of the few remaining global streamers, his server is probably a good shout

[maiden locust]

When first made my gunslinger, I struggled for a bit and definitely kept looking down to HUD to see which weapon of the 3 im using now and cooldowns ofc,
but the more time I spent using it, the more I less look at it, and now its kind of natural thing, I know which weapon I'm on, what to press and how much I stay on each weapon before switching.
now its like one continuous fluid motion of using skills, switch, skills, switch, endlessly until boss is dead don't need to look at all

[elder sierra]

i am still a little lost about the relic armor thing any shadowhunter main here that i can dm ?

[maiden locust]

ask in #shadowhunter

[elder sierra]

ohh i forgot about that

[brave geyser]

static rotations are the easiest classes to play

since it becomes muscle memory and you don't have much decision making

but esoteric WD would be good if you want something with a bit more complexity

arcana is also fun if you like changing the rotation a little bit according to rng

[broken orchid]

@maiden locust I can see that, yeah. With Deadeye, I tend to work through skills alright, then my weapon swap will double trigger or something and I'll be on Rifle, pressing the Shotgun keys, and doing nothing and not realize it for a few seconds or such.

Dunno, just keep stuttering into walls like that.

[sturdy lichen]

how to start this quest im 1415?

[zenith ginkgo]

should be next to the legion raid in big cities

[sturdy lichen]

im in punika searched the area around no purple quests so far

[brave geyser]

try open your quest log "j" and go to guide, see if it's been accepted otherwise it might be in north vern idk

[harsh dawn]

in clownge g3, assuming 3 equal dps. do you get more DPS with 2dps+1supp or 3dps

[maiden locust]

very understandable, still happens with me from time to time, that I accidently double press X/Z and end up on different weapon that im supposed to have,
the heat of the battle plays a huge part of this as well, because when you do something like valtan where the boss is barely moving, you have a lot of time to think and press keys, but something like clown/brel their mechs are much much faster and they move a lot, makes surviving very much challenging, this is when you probably will misclick a skill or use incorrect weapon,
in my own experience, this gets better when you have better understanding of boss mechanics, making you easily predicting what is going to happen before it happens and therefore plan accordingly and prepare what to use

[wise galleon]

hey boys. So I'm doing the hyper xpress and got the accessories chests and im wondering

[sturdy lichen]

yeah heading to northvern, nothing on my journal

[wise galleon]

whats the difference between corrupted time and corrupted space items?

[tough spoke]

i think nothing anymore, some time ago you only could equip one with each name

[maiden locust]

back in da days of ancient times

now its same

[wise galleon]

i see, thanks

[radiant flame]

I want to say it should be the support combo. If anything because you can greed DPS more.

I presume this is in the context of a bus

Just generally playing with a support is much more comfortable.

I think the two are similar though

There’s a sheet in #info-dump which tells you what a support provides in terms of damage

But yeah the support can provide 50-70% damage buff to your party

So at the very least support with 2 DPS should equate to a 3rd DPS

Along with qol stuff like ms, mana regen, shields, heal

[maiden locust]

i need help

i cannot save my pvp book

bc it always say my name is

idk what it says

[broken orchid]

@maiden locust Yeah, very true. I'm pretty new so still learning mechanics for all the fights, which certainly adds complexity.

[maiden locust]

it just says i cant od it bc my book hasnt a name

cant do shit

How many naruni coins do you need per week to clear out shop?

[thin oasis]

do the cat paw weapons exist for scrapper? i only see wardancer in the market

[buoyant herald]

they do

probably more likely you find them in boxes tho

[balmy lotus]

does anyone know the fastest way to t3 on a fresh alt without buying a powerpass? i know previously you would kt to vern -> hone to t2 -> buy t2 armor off market -> hone to t3 -> do feiton -> kt punik (basically skip rohendel and yorn). but maybe now it’s faster to do punika then kt SV (skip rohendel, yorn, and feiton)? would this still unlock the ability to use gems?

[buoyant herald]

the only faster way is buying a powerpass 😄

and yeah it still does

[balmy lotus]

lmfao should’ve added “without paying” 😂

[buoyant herald]

would just have been a no

[balmy lotus]

tyty should be easy to get to 1415 with the honing buffs so i guess i’ll do punika story then kt sv to unlock gems

[buoyant herald]

ye 1415 is free now

[balmy lotus]

was mainly trying to avoid the feiton stealth mission lol
