[pseudo atlas]

this is assuming the person with the t2 gems is actually using the correct gems

otherwise they're just gearing badly like any other bad player

[maiden locust]

actually im the one who got kicked for saying "probably cuz t2 gem"

the lobby title was "G1-G3 3 hours waiting for 3 people"

[last swallow]

At 1445 do I swap to relic gear or hone to +20?

[hollow scroll]

do both

[pallid panther]

Is it worth it to pay gold for someone roll gems by silver ?

[fallow trail]

does the 50% reduction get put into effect if they only have T2 gems equipped?

[pseudo atlas]

you hone to +20 and on the way you swap to relic gear

[maiden locust]

any way to get into cam perspective ? so i can take pictures of my character

[maiden locust]

both works, but you wanna get the relic gear

[maiden locust]

crab crab

how do i get in cam perspective

[pseudo atlas]

any and all t2 gems are reduced in effectiveness when equipped by a t3 char

[maiden locust]

i wanna make beautiful pictures

[pseudo atlas]

actually all gear is reduced in effectiveness if you're in a higher tier

or maybe only accs/gems are

[hollow scroll]

so if you see a lvl 10 t2 gem just imagine it as a lvl 7 t3

[maiden locust]

what

[hollow scroll]

[rose jewel]

depends on the price and if you know youre not gonna get scamemd

[maiden locust]

wait ill text u dm

[fallow trail]

im just curious since I only see the effect reduction red text in-game when I equip T2 gems + T3 gems together. but if I only equip T2 gems, the red text doesn't show up

[hollow scroll]

photo mode you can add a shortcut below map

[pseudo atlas]

i'm sure it still gets nerfed, though sounds like something worth checking out

[hollow scroll]

just buy the gem yourself

[rose jewel]

besides you can just sell the gem and pay a bit of gold for the desired skill

may even get cheaper

probably

[wary lintel]

signum are u home

[twin vapor]

is there a chart for hm vykas drops?

[last swallow]

How do I know if engraving combos on tradable stones are good combos for other classes or if I should dismantle?

[amber totem]

ctrl+right click stone : Search

[south lintel]

after not doing carl for months, people in party finder put "fpp4d" what is the 4? is it different from fppc, which people used to use for kunge? (i know d stands for destruction)

[amber totem]

4 destruction

[south lintel]

so it just means party member 4 uses destruction?

why not just say fppd, like people used to use fppc for kunge?

[amber totem]

4x D

[south lintel]

oh so everyone is expected to bring destruction, and 123 bring fpp, respectively?

[pseudo atlas]

that's impossible because phero and destro are the same slot

[south lintel]

oh true

[pseudo atlas]

i don't know what the 4 means at all

[south lintel]

yeah wtf its confusing me

[rigid plank]

the 4 is put there cuz of the filter stops u from puuting "fppd"

[amber totem]

idk but 1 D is enough to phase him

[pseudo atlas]

are you serious lol

[last swallow]

Is it supposed to show me recent prices or just listings?

[amber totem]

listings

youll know straight away whether its worth selling

if its >20 gold, list it

[last swallow]

Where can I see ones that actually sold?

[south lintel]

great game.

[amber totem]

recent sales

[south lintel]

recent prices*

[amber totem]

theres a tab for it

[last swallow]

But it's always empty

[pseudo atlas]

guess i shouldn't expect more out of a game that literally censors you when you put too many numbers out when talking about ilvls

[amber totem]

then it might not have sold any no?

If you get a grudge/adren stone you will see plenty sold

and for about 1k each

[last swallow]

I see listing that range from 10g to 100g on first page but nothing else

Okay

[pseudo atlas]

so it's worth 10-100g

maybe

[twin vapor]

is it normal to be gatekept for valtan hm at 1460??

[rose jewel]

oh yeah let me see the packs

my 1500 gets gatekept

[pseudo atlas]

there's a chart of common engravings in #info-dump way back in there for autodismantle settings, you can use that as a base and then memorize which combos are actually worth anything

[amber totem]

depends on plenty of factors. Full relic? 4x3? Card set? Roster level? Ugly outfit?

[rose jewel]

but depends on many reasons

[amber totem]

theres so many things

[south lintel]

you gotta be at least 100 ilevel over the requirements for most people to let you in

[twin vapor]

probably ugly outfit 😦

[amber totem]

unluggy

[rose jewel]

@wary lintel

the only selections we have got under legendary

[wary lintel]

bro i found from where we got epic and rare but cant find the uncommon

[rose jewel]

you used it

[wary lintel]

no i meant on codex

[rose jewel]

we got them all at the same time

eh

codex is trash anyway (?

[wary lintel]

i think they maybe forgot to add uncommon to this one

[rigid plank]

don't know why it happens but its an oh well

[wary lintel]

ty for checking

[dreamy bluff]

i never knew that. i just thought it was cause too many cheapos kept saying they didnt know they had to throw destro and i just copied it

[wise garnet]

If you do story express on a character will knowledge transfer work to speed up the event?

[pseudo atlas]

no

[fallow trail]

you wont be able to get the rewards from the story express if you use knowledge transfer

[amber spruce]

is it the same price to buy oreha fusion and to craft them?

[last swallow]

So are accessories engravings always class specific and stones are general?

[pseudo atlas]

depends on market, though they usually are close
crafting costs gold + the mats that could be sold for gold so you have to check market prices to compare

[pseudo atlas]

argos and oreha well abyss dungeon is all class accs, everything after that is fully random but stones will not have class engravings

[last swallow]

So how do u know if you have good engraving combo on accessories for relic items for other classes? Wouldn't no one sell so can't search?

What if I dismantle a combo I'm unaware of

[pseudo atlas]

why would you think that? not every class uses the same combos

[amber spruce]

so ig it's not that big of a difference?

[pseudo atlas]

you need to identify the generally used engravings and then from there you check accs with combos of those engravings and memorize what's actually worth selling

[last swallow]

There must be a lot of bad combos then bc I search and always empty

[pseudo atlas]

yes half of the engravings in the game are meme, niche, or useless

I said earlier there was a list of common usable engravings, I don't know of any reliable site that has all combos used by anyone

[last swallow]

Does the game have a bug where it says I harvested a guardian soul?

[amber spruce]

btw is there any chance(like even 0.1) that in the future smilegate will make supports able to fight as dps?(ofc no buffing,etc..)

[last swallow]

If it resets daily at 6am shouldn't it be 0/2?

[pseudo atlas]

usually not, but you can calculate it out after looking at market prices and I think sites exist that already do that

[last swallow]

Pretty sure I only did 1 raid today but already 2/2 guardian souls

[pseudo atlas]

there is always a chance, but there's no indication that they want to make it that way

don't get your hopes up

[last swallow]

Ohhh I did through special dispatch

[twin vapor]

how many wings does vykas hm give?

[last swallow]

I guess that counts as a soul for some reason

At stronghold

[pseudo atlas]

of course it does, it says that right on the screen

[last swallow]

Is there a difference between special dispatch and just me doing it myself?

Why is that option there lol

[rose jewel]

Amount of drops up to double the loot

[pseudo atlas]

special dispatch is worse for loot, but you don't have to actually do it

[rose jewel]

If you're super ultra mega hyper lazy you can lose loot for free

[pseudo atlas]

you use it when you just don't have the time or energy to do it

or if you have a lopang alt you never want to play or something

[last swallow]

I robbed myself today lol

[rose jewel]

Congrats you played yourself

Not the end of the world tho

[pseudo atlas]

meh, it's one soul from one day, it's not going to matter at all

[pseudo atlas]

2 per gate, 2 from box each gate, double with arcturus's touch

[last swallow]

For the sailing coin selection what do I pick?

Idk what they are for

[twin vapor]

arcturus's touch? whats that?

[last swallow]

I learn 1 thing have to learn another is endless lol

[rose jewel]

welcome to mmos

[pseudo atlas]

double loot for first 5 runs, read the tooltips

read the info boxes

[rose jewel]

read

read in general

everything

answers are all over the place

[twin vapor]

i legit had no idea you could hover over this lmao

[rose jewel]

there are like

1000 green "?" buttons btw

[twin vapor]

yeah I was looking through those

[last swallow]

If a relic accessory is not 5 3 as good combo is it not going to sell?

Dismantle all non 5 3s?

[pseudo atlas]

3/3 and 4/3 accs still sell if high quality, just at a lower price

[tawdry yoke]

Is normal and hard vykas bonus boxes the same?

For the first 5 runs?

Not sure if that makes sense

[pseudo atlas]

hard vykas has double the relic mats in all rewards compared to normal

so yes it does have equal mats because only normal has arcturus's touch

[rose jewel]

arcturus counts for hard as well tho

[pseudo atlas]

on vykas hard?

[rose jewel]

mhm

2 weeks for full relic on my artist

[pseudo atlas]

oh my bad, arcturus's touch is on vykas hm

[rose jewel]

he's just checking nm vykas' ui

[pseudo atlas]

so then it isn't the same as nm

[rose jewel]

hard to deduce from that

[rose jewel]

no, hm is always double compared to normal tldr

[pseudo atlas]

for some reason I though the arcturus's touch was only for the nerfed gold raids

skill issue...

[amber spruce]

does rested give double event mats?

[pseudo atlas]

yes

worse than doing it daily but it is affected by rest

[rose jewel]

i mean

vykas got nerfed

for nm only

hm left untouched

(i think)

[rich leaf]

whats the basis of how much artisan is added everytime u hone?

is it 1:1 with success rate?

[pseudo atlas]

it is a percentage of success rate

[rich leaf]

but like, will 10% success rate give me 10% artisan?

[pseudo atlas]

how much I forget, but should be easy to check on the honing screen

[rich leaf]

its not there

[pseudo atlas]

it is not 1:1

what

[rich leaf]

well not unless i hone

[pseudo atlas]

yes the honing screen

[maiden locust]

i need help at argos phase 2

[rich leaf]

ah yes i see it now

[maiden locust]

valtan NA West

[old peak]

How long would y'all say Punika takes to do?

[dreamy bluff]

1-1.5hours

if you arent watching cutscenes and reading

[old peak]

Thanks. Just curious. Dont it many times just haven't really paid attention. And Shift+G is gonna elp alot lol

[rose jewel]

under 1hr with shift g ignoring yellows

[amber spruce]

guys for most the time i spend in this game it's 99% doing vertical content(daily/weekly/honing/etc..) it's been so long that i've grown dull and don't even think about doing horizontal content such as exploring, doing side quests, completetion for rewards, wich in my mind is kinda fun i think but it's like i forgot how to do that, it's something when u stay seated for soo long that when u go outside u find yourself not walking properly, kinda having forgot how to do so, so how do i have with horizontal content again in this mmo?

[pallid panther]

U basically do for acomplish certain goals or unlock certain stuff, like runes, bifrost key, skill points and etc..

U will not be locked from playing the game if u dont, but doing you get more rooster and grow stronger

Like the Omnium Stars give the Wealth rune that is amazing for spec classes

[amber spruce]

oh i do know that, and i direly need sp, my default is like 294sp xD

[pallid panther]

Giant hearts alone gave 3x skill point potion

U can get those by quests and rapports as well

Go for easy ones first then you can get the harder later on

[amber spruce]

hmmm, only thing im afraid of is that i don't want to get addicted to the game to point most of my time is going to playing LA when i should be doing other important stuff, any suggestion as to how to play the game, let's say weekly?

[rose jewel]

raids wont go anywhere

[amber spruce]

for daily i'll give it like 1-2h max

[rose jewel]

rested for alts, then w/e you wanna do

horizontal, while not obligatory, is a big boost

[pallid panther]

Signum said it all.

But my recommendation is if you dont want to play too much dont get focused on 6x alts

Get one or two max.

So when you finish stuff on your main u can still do the stuff u enjoy on others

[amber spruce]

im at a point where i need all gold i can get from x6 cuz otherwise i'll be stuck forever below 1490

[pallid panther]

U can.. but you know it means more time in the game right ?

[dreamy bluff]

dont make too many alts or you will
1: be on the game for way too long
2: burn out of the game way faster

[rose jewel]

fomo

i smell fomo

[pallid panther]

U dont need to rush 1490

Raids wont go anywhere

[amber spruce]

so, daily stuff for 1 main, and later in the week do the alts

[pallid panther]

Yeah basically

[rose jewel]

dailies on 2 chars takes like... 30 mins

40 max being unlucky

then do 1 or 2 legions

1hr

30 mins to do whatever

i doubt you will only play 2hr

[pallid panther]

I did like 7 kakuls today and they took like 5 hours u dont want to do that

[rose jewel]

unless your shcedule is ultra busy

[shut pasture]

Well can maybe be 1 hour for Legions. Can depend on your group.

[amber spruce]

i do not

[dreamy bluff]

....why

[rose jewel]

carry me

[pallid panther]

Cause i need gold

To click my alts to 1540

Before brel hard

[pallid panther]

Im from SA 😦

[dreamy bluff]

making 7 alts to 1475 would indeed take alot of gold which is why u need more lol

[amber spruce]

welp i think im gonna stick with 2h or more in late night daily and weekend play whenever i want as much as i can

that doesn't seem to bad, does it?

[pallid panther]

Actually they are like 1530

Its what 4k hours looks like

[pseudo atlas]

just play what you feel like playing

[dreamy bluff]

oh you are trying to bring all your characters to 1540. yea that is gonna be pain and a gold sinc

[shut pasture]

Not as much as it used to, though.

[pallid panther]

Precisely

[rose jewel]

move to naw and carry me ;D

[pseudo atlas]

i just do like 2-3 characters a week for legion raids depending on what i feel like, and most dailies i just skip, but it doesn't impact my progression that much because i don't care

[pallid panther]

I joined in a guild and they are like on the spot

Still need to push one to 60 though

I mean.. i dont really "Have" to, but i kinda want it

[dreamy bluff]

1540 clown should take like 30min or less each unless you arent locking yourself with other endgame players

[rose jewel]

you can also ignore guardians

CD is the daily that's worth

[pallid panther]

I usually get locked on g3 sometimes because someone dies in the minigame or eat the saw

Besides that g1g2 is like 20m

[pseudo atlas]

cd is for chars you want to hone and silver, guardian raids is for a small boost in gold

[pure nacelle]

how do you get a purple/legendary trade tool such as excavating?

[pseudo atlas]

craft it

[tawdry yoke]

Ty

[dreamy bluff]

ah rip, havent really experienced the clown g3 trap yet(except during release month) so i cant really say much

[pallid panther]

Thats why i joined in a guild

So i did 5 with them and 2 by myself and it was kinda quick

[dreamy bluff]

i pug all of my clown

[pseudo atlas]

i haven't seen a g3 trap either, i just get jailed in 1 and 2 forever

also pug fully

[pallid panther]

How do u get jailed in g1 ?

[dreamy bluff]

and my brels. only have a brel static for my support then everything else is pug content

[amber spruce]

ty guys for answering^^, i appreciate it

[pseudo atlas]

i don't know how i get jailed in g1, maybe it's a personal problem

[pallid panther]

You are fine, anything feel free to ask

Just remember your hones dont cost gold till 1445

So u can peacefully farm mats when you have time / patience

[dreamy bluff]

most jail content happens at iLevel cause the boss will be doing way more rotations and at some point the brain will start lagging

[pallid panther]

The game can lag as well

[last swallow]

Una task is 3 per day per character?

[dreamy bluff]

yes

[last swallow]

Why says only 3/day obtainable when I have 2 characters?

[dreamy bluff]

u can use tickets to increase that number though

[last swallow]

Shouldn't it be 6/day?

[pallid panther]

Story express is really good btw u dont even discover what is hone until you realize you are t3

[dreamy bluff]

what daily u talking about?

[pseudo atlas]

it's 3/day per character

it doesn't dynamically adjust for how many characters you have

[dreamy bluff]

each character can do 3 dailies then they are locked out. dailies are character bound

[pseudo atlas]

if it said 6 per day or 18 per day it would in fact be misleading

[last swallow]

Ok thanks

[pallid panther]

Feeling like i need more lopang alts lol.

[dreamy bluff]

if you want to do more then the 3 dailies. you can start burning these

[amber spruce]

also is nightmare really hard? cuz it seems so to me but i never tried it so im thinking of dodging it, but at the same time im afraid that it's not that hard(glaiver pinnacle)
also how does the swift variant work for her?

[pallid panther]

Swift u mean control ?

[pseudo atlas]

you mean...the armor set?

[dreamy bluff]

also someone was talking about why people use fpp4d instead of fppd. its because of the "pd" part. im guessing you can guess what it stands for.
i tried to type the word earlier and got a 1hour ban so i guess its banned both in game and in here

[amber spruce]

yes?

[amber spruce]

does pinnacle not work with swift as a sub stat?

[pseudo atlas]

might want to ask in #glaivier then

[maiden locust]

wheres a place where i can find a group to learn clown with?

[rose jewel]

pinnacle goes full spec with spec swift usually

nightmare is just press awakening and done iirc?

like, kinda pepega easy c:

[pallid panther]

U can use salvation if u want as well

Works fine

[rose jewel]

you can also use salvation

[pseudo atlas]

you need to manage mp with nightmare

[rose jewel]

its what i use

comfy

[pseudo atlas]

i also use salvation on my pinnacle glaivier because skill issue

[rose jewel]

glaiver hardly has mp issues, even with nightmare

unless you spam every single skill you have on cd

[pallid panther]

I like salvation cause it hits quicker

Even nightmare does more dmg

[rose jewel]

not that muuuuuch

but comfy is better

[pallid panther]

Its 10%

[pseudo atlas]

it's not running out of mp that is the problem, it's accidentally going into boundless mana at the wrong time

[rose jewel]

glaivier is not an mvp chaser anyway

[amber spruce]

[pallid panther]

What glaivier would do more dmg ?

Pinnacle Nightmare + Raid captain
Pinnacle Salvation + Mass increase

I only play control glaivier so i dont have that answer

[amber spruce]

what is that , and what happens then?

[pseudo atlas]

it's literally the nightmare set, you'll have to read the glaivier guide and/or the set bonus to see

[pallid panther]

When you have lower than % mp set gives you mp regen.

If you are above it gives more dmg

In summary

But besides using the awakening u dont have to do nothing to use nightmare

[mystic geyser]

Wait you can skip rohendel and go straight to yorn if i use the vern power pass on a char and get them to 600 right?

[dreamy bluff]

yes

all the region are only iLevel locked

[mystic geyser]

Why is there just an invisible wall blocking me from getting to yorn though?

[pseudo atlas]

'cause you haven't read the guide quests and it's your first character

[amber spruce]

if it's your first u gotta do em all

[dreamy bluff]

u might have skipped some quest. did you do shushire ship quest yet?

[mystic geyser]

OH

okay

So it cna't b skipped if it's a new acc

[amber spruce]

yep

[mystic geyser]

Rip got to do rohendel then

[dreamy bluff]

even if you could the region would be forever locked until you decide to do story to unlock the region

didnt know you couldnt skip if its your first time though. the guide quest for yorn just says to sail there when you reach 600

[mystic geyser]

Yea just trying to help m yfriend skip through all the stuff so we can raid together and play with people asap

before they lose interest in playing the game smh

[dreamy bluff]

their is a ship quest that sends you to shushire i believe. if you dont you will be blocked from some sailing areas

something about crafting different type of ships

[pseudo atlas]

there is a quest that tells you how to get through the procyon wall which is the invisible wall dividing the world map in half

[dreamy bluff]

the quest ask you to craft a sturmbrecher

[pseudo atlas]

https://lostarkcodex.com/us/quest/4001131/

[dreamy bluff]

yea this is probably why your friend is blocked

[pseudo atlas]

like 99% of problems are solved by doing guide quests

[mystic geyser]

Mm i'll go check and see if they've already done that

[pseudo atlas]

well

maybe 75%

[mystic geyser]

LOL

[maiden locust]

how much would 9k gold cost in usd

im a lil new so idk how to buy gold with real money

[dreamy bluff]

*ps, if you have alot of time you can sell fishing material on the marketplace to make gold

[maiden locust]

i dont have a lot of time but i can see how that goes

[dreamy bluff]

fish price has been skyroketing so u can make a little there. im guessing 9k gold should be that much

@maiden locust
1k royal crystals cost 13.99Cad which im guessing might be 9.99 for US.
952 royal crystals can be traded for 8.864 gold on NAest

[old peak]

Can vouch, fishing boring but hey, ez monee

It's better to sell the fish then to craft the fusion materials and sell it that way?

[hollow anchor]

How man5 wings can you get in hm vykas now buying all Chests excluding bid one

[lime beacon]

hmm should i sell this or should i roll it, all the ones that are similar to it on the market are up for like 40k but there are no recent sales

[dreamy bluff]

im honestly not sure with that anymore. when fish was cheap, crafting was cheaper. i think it should still is but fish prices is not really stable.
as for me ive always been crafting my own fusion mats and never really bought any

[pseudo atlas]

sell it if you want gold, roll it if you want to gamble on something you can use

that's literally it

[lime beacon]

ive gambled so much gold on bracelets its

[dreamy bluff]

is there a reason why gifting is greyed out for me?

[lime beacon]

huh its grayed out for me has it ever worked?

[dreamy bluff]

ive tried every item on the shop and its greyed out for them all

[tired ravine]

Guys how do you get bunny ears

I went to the training room and the reward is a green leafy hairpin

[lime beacon]

isnt it a prologue reward

like if you do the actual tutorial at the start most people skip

[shy yarrow]

i remember getting it from the prologue on a pp character

[lime beacon]

its a chest tho so you can get it on one char put it in roster inventory and open on the class you want

[shy yarrow]

yeah it becomes bound to a class type

[maiden locust]

I might be making a new character on NA-East to play with a group of friends when I primarily played on NA-West, I assume absolutely nothing gets shared, correct?

[shy yarrow]

nothing

[lime beacon]

yea nothing at all

your west roster tho will still exist

[maiden locust]

gotcha

[rose jewel]

tldr blame bots, you could before, been disabled since forever

[lime beacon]

one of those things that were "temporarily disabled" never to be turned back on

[rose jewel]

one of many

and more to come

[tired ravine]

I found it

its in the 'training area' instead of 'training room'

ngl this looks worse than I thought

[old peak]

Did i break the dungeon? .-.

nevermind

[bleak elk]

bots were abusing stolen credit cards to gift, was disabled a few months after launch and never turned back on

[bleak elk]

your remaining days of crystaline aura only, if you had it
since crystaline aura is account wide

[maiden locust]

never really purchased gold before, but there's an outfit i want on the market, so essentially i need to pay 2,142 crystals to get 27,450 gold here?

[amber totem]

yes

[prime mountain]

Hey guys, sorry for bothering. I played a bit of the game when it came out on Steam, and I stopped because it felt too "dull", and I mean the equipments in general. It felt like, after a certain point, all I was grinding for was more item score (or is it level? I don't remember the exact term), and the equipments were just stat sticks (there was no cool passive for a weapon or something like that).

My question is: is there any "uniqueness" to the be added to each character in the late game content, or is it basically like that (only grinding for item score) all the way through?

Like, getting a legendary weapon that completely changes an ability or something like that

[amber totem]

you get different sets of gear later on but no, its not like diablo

[shut pasture]

Currently there is no gear that does that, the "uniqueness" typically comes from your Class Engravings as well as which tripods you are selecting for your Skills. So far this game does not really delve down the route of adding unique, skill or class changing alterations on gear. As Raven pointed out this isn't something like PoE or Diablo (if that may be what it is being compared to), it just shares the same camera angle.

[last swallow]

Why does story skip to South vern cost so much?

[amber totem]

Are you talking about Knowledge transfer?

[last swallow]

No the pass

[amber totem]

Its worth doing South vern on every character

[last swallow]

How come?

[amber totem]

Invaluable XP, card packs, mats

What level is your main now? 53?

[last swallow]

Yes

[amber totem]

Don't skip it

[last swallow]

Already did south vern on main

[amber totem]

oh

Point still stands

XP, Cards etc

[last swallow]

So I should knowledge transfer the rest to punika eventually?

Shift + G through it, itll be done very quickly

I can send it now if you like

[last swallow]

I vern passed a artist just now

[amber totem]

yeah its a waste

SOUTH VERN pass?

Or North vern

[last swallow]

North

[amber totem]

alright give me a second

Ill make it into a google sheet

[last swallow]

Does smilegate give us story express and hyper express often? Think we will get for aeromancer?

[old peak]

At what iLevel should I start to focus on obtaining 4x3 build? I just got to 1340 so I'm assuming wait a bit to do argos and such before worrying about a full on 4x3 setup?

[rigid plank]

this is first time for story express for global, hyper expresses happen usually when a class releases

[last swallow]

Idk but if u are on hyper express gives u temporary 4x3 for a few months

[last swallow]

Nice I hope we get both again

[old peak]

Using it on another character.

[amber totem]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r_-azwMwtQmy9HSY5tNSGIdnaR2WwJDgc5BV4Tsj8S0/edit?usp=sharing

Let me know if it doesn't work

[last swallow]

Works thanks

[amber totem]

I might add a TLDR as well.

[last swallow]

Does knowledge transfer give you chosen gear like story express?

[rigid plank]

Knowledge transfer is only used to skip each continent's story, it doesn't give gear

[last swallow]

I think it's outdated a bit though

No gold till 1445+

Might be wrong on exact ilvl

[rigid plank]

1445

[amber totem]

Its fine its more for the north vern to T3 speedrun

ill amend that part too

[swift vortex]

uh, so i broke the barrier in mount zagoras but it respawned behind me 🥲 do I have to break it again to leave?

[amber totem]

Its not talking about direct gold cost for honing though, just mat costs btw

[rigid plank]

just teleport to a triport, you're not stuck

[swift vortex]

!!! thank you

[amber totem]

omg

I fucking found it

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yuNQLYkQT6VhB7hKXRoV2AiwV0D-y2PQTkpVd0ibPEA/edit

CD VS KBW WRITE UP FINALLY (for DB)

[slate elk]

is the stronghold considered for every character or the whole rooster

[amber totem]

Stronghold is roster wide

[maiden locust]

Is there a significant difference in player population between NA-West and NA-East? I know east is more populated but if it isn't by a significant amount then I think I'll just stay in West

[amber totem]

NAW has plenty of players

NAE has more though

[last swallow]

Ohh adventures path makes u relive the best parts of the story lol

[amber totem]

yeah. It gets tiresome after having to do the same thing a few times

[last swallow]

I need the pet

[amber totem]

Do it once fully, then you can skip each other time. You get a small amount of rewards for going through it

[last swallow]

Skipping everything else

[last swallow]

They let me try like 5 sets of clothes in 20 minutes for artist lol

Swapped gear so quickly

[candid grove]

Is it possible to trade adventurer tome collectable items? I cannot seem to register anything on auction house

[amber totem]

You can sell them yeah

If your account is new you might not be trusted yet.

[candid grove]

I have my account for 1 year, but haven't been playing much. How can I become trusted?

[amber totem]

It will tell you whether you are trusted or not.

Its your steam account that needs to be trusted. If you have steam guard mobile and have spent 5$ on steam it should be fine

[candid grove]

Should I contact support? Do I need to spend 5$ in LA through steam? I have spent way more than that on other games and I do have guard mobile...

[amber totem]

Then its likely not that causing the issue.

What does it say when you try and add thing to market

[candid grove]

Alright, I will try support

Nothing, it just doesn't let me click it

Thanks for info though

[amber totem]

Do you press Alt+y, click "add item" (or whatever it says) on the bottom right of the window and then select the item from your inventory?

[candid grove]

I was trying the "register" button when I had auction house window open by accessing it via NPC

[amber totem]

register is only for things like accessories or gear

The market itself features things like honing mats etc, thats where you sell adventure tome stuff

[candid grove]

Alright, will try alt+y in the evening, thank you!

[last wolf]

is cube broken

cant start

[rigid plank]

someone isnt loaded in yet

[last swallow]

I didn't know but leveling alt from north vern is tough

No materials

Stuck at ilvl 440

Tower is supposed to give me material to hone?

I only got cards

[radiant flame]

You didn’t do it on your main

[last swallow]

Yeah did not

[radiant flame]

That’s why

[last swallow]

Need to clear entire tower?

Then I get materials to hone on alt for repeat floor runs?

[radiant flame]

You should anyway. For skill points

[radiant flame]

Correct

[hollow scroll]

you should get them on main also

[wise juniper]

How are you supposed to gear up fresh alts now that people don't run argos bus anymore?

[hollow scroll]

you play argos without a bus

[wise juniper]

LMAO

[hollow scroll]

its braindead content though

[wise juniper]

So there isn't some catch up system I'm missing. You just have to gear enough at 1370 ievel and hope to get into groups?

[radiant flame]

There is a powerpass and story express

Both give legendary gear

You don’t even need to do argos

You can also buy chosen gear

From AH

[wise juniper]

Oh wut

How did I not know this.

Ok I'll just do that then. Thanks haha.

[timber mauve]

Patch notes are hip and cool. Things like this are in there.

[hollow scroll]

[timber mauve]

[hollow scroll]

just dont bus argos have you seen the price

its a violation after gold nerf

[dry storm]

Besides Sephiroth any other unit that is worth to 140 guys?

Month MR?

[shut pasture]

I think wrong Discord server maybe?

[dry storm]

ups

kekw

[amber totem]

lol

[devout granite]

zzz can't kick bot in challenge abyss

[radiant flame]

just song out

or get others to abandon

idk why bots do challenge abyss though

nothing to sell

no gold

so maybe not a bot shrug

[cloud totem]

could someone tell me the price of leg kbw on eu market

[radiant flame]

6.2k euc

[cloud totem]

meh, same as pre frog

[blissful coral]

Why does nobody do the practice mode for clown? I'm gonna be so clueless when I hit 1475

[radiant flame]

because it's pointless to do

it doesn't actually teach you real clown

and you get next to zero reward for doing so

for most people time is the greatest limiting factor to gameplay

so why waste time to do something that doesnt progress your character

[near cove]

the cookies which u get from the pet ranch should i be uses them for expertise pots ?

[lime beacon]

just practice marios in trixion and read a few guides should be fine

[near cove]

no... easy mode does not even have bingo

he will have alot of struggle

[lime beacon]

i mean like not

do practice mode lmao

hes asking how to prep for the raid if he cant do practice mode

[near cove]

oh

just prog party ig

nothing else

[blissful coral]

Thanks I didn't know you could do them in trixion

[lime beacon]

you can practice the marios in trixion yea

in the special training you can do marios and prokel

[devout granite]

would any class use this?

[radiant flame]

no

1. pretty much no dps would use SA

2. even in the circumstances someone would use SA, they wouldnt be a swift class as they would already be capped

[shy yarrow]

the one that actually does goes full spec too lol

[radiant flame]

well yeah exactly, wouldnt be a swift class for sure

[opaque obsidian]

same game keeps getting disconnected

[last swallow]

What do people mean by 1:1 transfer rate for crafting relic gear? If my chosen gear is +20 relic will also be +20?

[radiant flame]

yes

[pallid quail]

Hey. For new chars who I knowledge transfer/punika pass, what's more important if I want to rush them to 1445, shard una's or leapstones una's?

[last swallow]

Nice ty

[radiant flame]

leap

[pallid quail]

OK, will focus on those! Thanks!

[near cove]

Feiton is the best place for that

3 unas 11 leaps

[pallid quail]

I usually do 2 feiton and shushire if I want to go for leapstones

[opaque obsidian]

is the EAC dc back?

[last swallow]

I have a bifrost set at feiton

[opaque obsidian]

this only happened to me after the maint

[radiant flame]

well, sorry to be more specific

in t1/t2 leaps because you get shards in tower

in t3 it depends on what you are short of

if you are truly rushing

like

day 1 rushing

unas aren't relevant because you only get 3/6 of them

[last swallow]

I wish bound hone materials were shared across characters

[radiant flame]

but if you are progressing normally, i think it's still generally leaps that gate you

[radiant flame]

then thyey aren't bound

lol

[last swallow]

Well bound to my roster

[near cove]

they are shared

if bound to roster

[radiant flame]

no there are no roster bound mats. there are tradeable mats or bound mats only

[last swallow]

But they aren't bound to roster its by character

[pallid quail]

Well, not exactly rushing. I'm focusing my resources on it, but I think I'll upgrade with bound resources mostly. I've used the hyper express on this char if that matters

[radiant flame]

then it's whatever you're short of. but i think leaps is easier and always useful

shard unas just take too long

[pallid quail]

Sounds good

[last swallow]

If punika pass was $10 would buy instantly

[pallid quail]

Yeah if I went for shards I'd do like the two runway islands and the mobs una in north vern I think

[radiant flame]

punika pass for $50 is still a steal

just saying

free base game and an endgame boost for same price as other aaa titles

[pallid quail]

Paying 50$ to play the game less

[last swallow]

I think it's too much

[near cove]

Honestly

[radiant flame]

then dont buy it

lol

[last swallow]

Doesn't truly go to end game

[radiant flame]

it skips 30-40 hours for a new player

so if you value your time at less than 2$ an hour

then yeah i guess it's not worth it

im being facetious, but i dont think it's objectively bad value

[last swallow]

It takes 30-40 from 302 to 1302?

[radiant flame]

people may not want to buy it for other reasons, like if they just dont want to spend money on the game full stop

but doesnt mean it's unfairly priced

[last swallow]

I might consider then lol

[radiant flame]

no, i said for a new player

[pallid quail]

If it were a job it's one thing. Here is paying to skip entertainment hours. Specially for a new player who never did the story

[last swallow]

Ohh I see

[radiant flame]

sure, but plenty of people who don't care about story

as i said, plenty of reasons why people dont buy it

i havent bought it

but in pure time/money terms it's hardly unfairly priced

[last swallow]

Didn't know you could buy straight past story I would've done it maybe

I did enjoy like 3 to 4 parts of the story though

Some very hype moments

[pallid quail]

Yeah, the price is fair, but I wouldn't suggest most people to buy it. New players should try to enjoy the story. Old players should KT

I could see a player who wants to change servers or something buying it though

[radiant flame]

I don’t suggest people buy it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[lime pier]

Hello guys i used my powerpass on my char that had story express activated and i didnt notice it and now i cant claim anything from story express nor i can move it to new char what can i do?

[last swallow]

I say worth if skipping story but for making alts idk not for me

[last swallow]

Is too late is gone forever

[opaque obsidian]

u cant. bt try contacting support. idunno if they can help

[last swallow]

Have to wait for next pass

Or try support like Vahn said

[steady lion]

any good guilds i could join ?

i mat 1445 gear

im at

[rigid plank]

you can take a look in #na-west-guild-recruitment

[glass pebble]

has anyone else had issues with the lost ark merchants LFG bot? mine stopped messaging me about 4 days ago

[slate elk]

i wanted to use the punika powerpass can someone remind how exactly cause i forgot

[outer mason]

complete the quest "berver's friend" on a character
claim the powerpass in your mail
use the powerpass in character selection

[slate elk]

look i still can't do it

[outer mason]

did you receive the orange powerpass as an item and claimed it by right-clicking it?

[slate elk]

it's in my machinist inventory

do i have to do something after it's in my inventory?

[snow wadi]

right click it

[slate elk]

ohh :>

[civic arch]

so im new, what does skill tree level activation do?

is it for leveling up skill tree skills ?

[radiant flame]

If you are new, I would recommend you restart on EUC

But to your specific question, yes the skill tree level activation lets you upgrade specific tripods in your skill tree

You can upgrade up to 18, and each tripod goes to level 5 at maximum

You get upgraded tripods in amulets that drop in t3

But most importantly, switch to EUC

[civic arch]

i figured it was for upgrading stuff but i didnt see where to use em

[civic arch]

why ?

[radiant flame]

The playerbase is probably 100x that of EUW

EUW is kind of dead

And that’s not just me saying it

[rich leaf]

u will struggle finding parties during endgame

[civic arch]

ah

[rich leaf]

also market prices are really expensive

[radiant flame]

The fact that there are only 2 servers should give you an idea

[rich leaf]

cuz theres less ppl selling

[civic arch]

weird that euw is dead tho

[radiant flame]

But yeah - endgame will be a struggle. I think anything outside of peak times in EUW is basically dead

[radiant flame]

It’s not. EUW was a huge mistake

They only created EUW because of the huge influx of people at the beginning leading to long queues on EUC

So EUW only started after launch, and never stood a chance

Ultimately you still had 99% of European players start accounts on EUC

Anyway. It’s not like you’ve lost much as a new player. I would strongly recommend just starting over on EUC 🤷🏻‍♂️

[civic arch]

alright then

im only level 20 so its fine

[civic arch]

which server on EUC do u reccomend

[radiant flame]

Mm. I don’t think it matters tbh. But kadan, zinnervale, Thirain have historically been the most populated

[civic arch]

aight ill go with kadan then

[maiden locust]

is there any way to remove the fury and exhaustion meter notifications

[loud dagger]

A +21 gear pcs converted into brel is gonna he at +13 or 12?? Dont remember the conversion

[radiant flame]

It’s in info dump isn’t it

[radiant flame]

Yeah 13

[remote briar]

I get load screen tooltips about the Lost Ark pass but I don't see it anywhere - Do I have to get to a certain level for it?

[balmy plank]

Top right beside your minimap. Theres an arkpas icon

[remote briar]

I see only Mokoko Challenge and Event Quest

[balmy plank]

You might need to be lvl50 or maybe 1302 ivl? i dont remember the exact requirmets

[remote briar]

The Hyper Express?

[balmy plank]

Hyper express and story express are different events

[remote briar]

Ahh ok, I'll just keep levelling and see if it shows up 😄

[balmy plank]

Youre looking in the right spot but yea its not there. Youll likely have to reach ilvl 1302. The arkpass sticks around for a long time so even if you arnt there for a bit you should still have time

[remote briar]

Good stuff. Just picked up the game yesterday but was just curious about it

[light zealot]

Does knowledge transferring break story express?

[radiant flame]

Yes

[sand oasis]

Hey, I'm trying to build my gunslinger and i don't know what is better peacemaker lvl 1 or lvl3
Can anyone help me? Thx

[radiant flame]

The community guide should help explain it (look in #gunslinger and check pins)

The short answer is PM1

PM1 as an engraving is just very very efficient

Going to PM3 doesn’t really make a huge amount of difference now, particularly because SRF is generally not used, so the bonus shotgun damage is only relevant to 2 out of 7 damaging skills

However, PM3 is still fine if you were looking to just build a working 5x3, will just do slightly less damage than PM1 with adrenaline 2

In 9/7 territory, when you’re looking for 5x3 +2, you have to go PM3

The only way to get PM2 is to have a 9/9 stone

[sand oasis]

thxx, guess i'll go with pm1

❤️

[glacial scarab]

is there an up to date bonus chest calculator?

[true canyon]

just hit 50 on my alt but i'm mid stern area, do i need to hit a certain point in story to unlock awakening and level 50 skill?

[minor briar]

u will get that after u finish vern and shushire too i think

or u can just nvern powerpass and it should finish the quest for u

[true canyon]

i'm doing the express story on this alt, will that mess anything up?

[minor briar]

oh

u should be able to get it by just going to trixion

assuming u did it on ur main/pp'd another alt

i assumed this was ur first char

[true canyon]

nah main is 1475, and beatrice has nothing for me

[minor briar]

its per char

if u alr got it on ur main then u still need to get it on ur alts

from trix

[true canyon]

yea i went to trix on the alt, nothing there

[faint pagoda]

how would i even go on about farming the deep dive cardset

[minor briar]

have u never used a punika pass?

[minor briar]

all the blue and purp cards can be farmed from merchant

but for the legs, just rng

[faint pagoda]

yeah but the bot on this server doesnt let me choose em for notification

[minor briar]

just use the site urself

[faint pagoda]

aight

[minor briar]

the bot is maintained by someone

and dont think theyve updated it yet

[faint pagoda]

[true canyon]

you're not understanding. i have 2 characters over 1400. i'm leveling a 3rd character with the story express. i hit level 50, and i'm wondering if A) i have to hit a certain point in the main story to get my awakening/level 50 skill, and B) if using a powerpass/knowledge transfer will interfere with the story express

[minor briar]

b) yes, it will interfere, a) not sure, probably have to finish n.vern

[icy bluff]

If I buyout an accessory I already bid on do I get charged double the peons?

[light zealot]

no lol

[hollow scroll]

you get the quest after finishing rohendel, which is after nvern

oh thats second awakening, maybe go to trixion and check still

[amber spruce]

what is story express and is it free?

[fallen trench]

What does the term "lopang" mean

[fallen trench]

It's free. It gives you additional resources while you're clearing the story quests.

It definitely speeds up the pace of progressing.

[olive fog]

Lopang is the name of an island that gives you silver Una quests

If u do the quest on the island it unlocks some silver daily Unas

[fallen trench]

Interesting

Thank you!

[acoustic mason]

When i try to do the knight in shining armor (secret) quest when i get to the third location it doesn't show up

Are there any requirements i don't know of?

[eternal fern]

you need to pick the books up in order iirc there are 3 items in total you need

and you need to do it in a certain time frame if im not mistaken its 20 minutes to grab the second item after picking up the first

[exotic vine]

can anyone explain what people mean when they put "wei frog" in their vykas lobbies

[radiant flame]

They use wei to cheese the frog stagger mechanic in g3

[acoustic mason]

Ah i went afk for a bit then came back so i think that's the reason i couldn't complete it

[eternal fern]

give it another try starting from item 1

[radiant flame]

You can hit both vykas and the top frog with wei so it saves on a timestop. The rest of the raid gets gauge and kills the bottom frog

You also get to keep gauge for tentacles

[acoustic mason]

I will thx

[exotic vine]

ah i see thanks

[radiant flame]

The slight risk is that for very high DPS parties you may not have wei up again by the time you get to 0bar

[rose jewel]

if you have such dps, odds are people know how to do mechs and cheese 12 if they cant stagger in time, wei should be up for 2nd round or so

but never underestimate pugs

[eternal fern]

damm 1 great leap stone short from getting the next hyper express rewards

[rose jewel]

that's 40g

[eternal fern]

i just thought it funny i was missing just 1

[radiant flame]

Yep it’s more this

I think if you get hit by anything during the first stagger mech (like lines or whatever) you risk full gauge before you can reset with explosions. And a single person with full gauge can still wipe everyone 🙈

[rose jewel]

i precast something and blast them, fuck them for being dumb

[radiant flame]

Truth

[rose jewel]

feels better than using a sleep bomb

[amber spruce]

at what ilvl do i end up in after doing it?

[rose jewel]

1340

you need a fresh char

and by fresh i mean, literally, new, lv10

[amber spruce]

and how long does it take to do?

[rose jewel]

and you CAN - NOT - SKIP - ANYTHING

you do the story from 1 to south vern

[eternal fern]

think it took me around 30 ish hours first time clear

[fallen trench]

I'm currently at Shushire. It took me around 10-15 hours to get there

[eternal fern]

so no shift g which speeds up according to people

[fallen trench]

Shushire is in the middle of the story

[rose jewel]

20 to 30 depending on many things

[fallen trench]

Yes I'm doing ALL side quests

Tho it's worth it

I've got good virtues

[rose jewel]

i would rush and use the punipass

[bitter basalt]

hey, which one do you think out of these 3, hunting,fishing,relict is the best/most efficient one? wanna push t3 and need the honing mats from sh

[rose jewel]

all the virtues you get from yellows or purples or hiddens you get them with the punipass

also skill potions and stat potions

if you're new that would save you a lot of time

[fallen trench]

Holy shit... I didn't know that

[rose jewel]

now you do

[fallen trench]

But I don't get the roster xp do I?

[amber spruce]

[bitter basalt]

im not playing on my alt which has that pass

[amber spruce]

forget i asked about this

[rose jewel]

you think 20-30hrs is a lot ?

[bitter basalt]

i know u get some from pass

[rose jewel]

in an mmo?

[amber spruce]

why even do it?

[fallen trench]

In a good or a bad way? Is it too long for you?

[rose jewel]

uhhh

[amber spruce]

why do it when u can get to 1340 faster in the normal way?

[bitter basalt]

so?

[rose jewel]

i think we're mixing answers here

[rose jewel]

haha, no

yes but no

[amber spruce]

if it's first time sure, but not on a 8th alt

[rose jewel]

well then dont do it

its aimed for NEW PLAYERS

surprise!

[amber spruce]

it's a very cool feature then

[fallen trench]

It indeed is

[rose jewel]

in terms of what, gold? check your market

[fallen trench]

The gear that it gives you saves quite a bit of time

• other goodies

[rose jewel]

we cant magically say which is more "worth" (what is "worth" for you) coz market is very volatile

[bitter basalt]

i just wanna farm the mats, not with gold
i wanna know which one of these 3 is the best/efficient/less pain one

one of my friends did fishing, one relict

[fallen trench]

Fighting is chill imo

I love it

[rose jewel]

fish is braindead afk, relic is running around, hunting is sniper420

[fallen trench]

All 3 become boring after a while

[rose jewel]

all life skills are dumb and boring

[bitter basalt]

which one do we prefer? 😎

[rose jewel]

none

[bitter basalt]

was going for hunting but thought id ask before

[rose jewel]

i do stronghold gathering and call it

[buoyant herald]

fishing doesnt become boring its super boring from the get go but thats its selling point

[hollow scroll]

you cant trade them anyway

[bitter basalt]

i dont wanna trade them i wanna use them lmao

[fallen trench]

Lost ark is a fishing simulator

[hollow scroll]

[maiden locust]

imo, lostark is "top of the list" simulator 2023

[amber spruce]

it gives usefull stuff? rly?

[hollow scroll]

maybe scam shop has them for bc, using up life skills on t2 seems a waste at this point

[fallen trench]

Yes it does

[rose jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/fairly-odd-parents-escalator-escalator-land-when-do-we-get-to-the-ride-this-is-the-ride-gif-18813808

fishing be like

[fallen trench]

You can think of it like bonus rewards from completing the story

[hollow scroll]

fishing is but i need to do it for world leaves. its becoming an addiction

[fallen trench]

No harm in getting them unless you're knowedge transferring

[bitter basalt]

t2?

[rose jewel]

for the past month i daily tell to myself "well time to do life skilling"

guess who hasnt done life skilling for 1 month

[hollow scroll]

you're pushing t3 so you're in t2 or you're not using hyper express and in t3 for some reason?

[fallen trench]

mines 1 rock . . . calls it a day

[bitter basalt]

im at t3

pushing 1370

[rose jewel]

1 rock is 1 too many rocks

[hollow scroll]

use hyper express

[bitter basalt]

nah

its on a different char

and i wanna play some other char

[hollow scroll]

[bitter basalt]

im a returning player, couldnt use on my other char

[fallen trench]

@rose jewel about the punika pass. If i use it, do I unlock the special awakening ability on all chars in my roster?

[rose jewel]

mhm

[hollow scroll]

with pp you finish the 2nd awakening quest which in that case unlocks it for every other character

[bitter basalt]

nah, just do it on one char, unlocks for all

[rose jewel]

save yourself 7hrs of questing

bruh

punika pass (even a feiton pass) automatically finishes 2nd awakening quest

for your WHOLE roster

why do a 7hr quest

when you can skip that shit instantly

[amber spruce]

where can i check them?

[fallen trench]

Bro event -> story express

[bitter basalt]

that can only come from someone who forced himself to play a different class than he wanted to play ig

[fallen trench]

Upper right

Then you can check the reward nodes one by one

[hollow scroll]

i did it with sorc at a time we didn't have feiton pp yet

never do that again

[bitter basalt]

theres multiple reasons why people dont use the expess pass btw, dont assume everyone uses it and just answer their questions xD

[fallen trench]

It gives you the gear required for the next continents so that you can save yourself the honing struggle

[rose jewel]

i did it manually as well, and yes we didnt had feiton+ passes at the time

dude

he literally and super clearly asked that if he would get 2nd awakening if he uses a punika powerpass

i answered yes

its not hard to get

besides it has nothing to do with the expresses

[bitter basalt]

yes that one, the others didnt super clearly ask these things

[rose jewel]

well im answering the dude that asked me the question

[bitter basalt]

ive seen u doing it more than once now

[rose jewel]

im just chatting with the rest and memeing a bit

but i never intend to missinform

why are we having this discussion in the first place

[fallen trench]

I don't see the problem in using the powerpass for skipping boring content like that

[hollow scroll]

this isn't a discussion channel guys

[rose jewel]

it isnt but we always end up memeing

dont tell fireking

[gleaming token]

i thought this entire time purple quests were roster quests

am i supposed to be doing them on all my alts? "affinity quests"

i noticed one of them had a vitality pot that i guess isn't roster bound

[maiden locust]

how do I ts the maze in brel g3, I tried different ways still I either do maze correctly or die, ts never works

[rose jewel]

all vitality pots (all stats actually) as well as skill pots, virtue points/pots etc are rosterwide

you get it once, you cant get it again

you get roster exp and a bit of combat exp + whatever else the quest gives, you cant get again such rosterwide things

[radiant flame]

You press ts 🙈

[rose jewel]

because you dont TS it, you're silenced, do it normally (actually i dont remember if your items are also blocked, but just do it bro)

oh ok so you can TS it

[radiant flame]

You can ts the damage

[rose jewel]

haha

well guess i just never needed to, so no wonder

[radiant flame]

It’s more that you are not supposed to just stand still and ts. The ts is more as a last resort if you are struggling to find a safe spot at the edge

[maiden locust]

[rose jewel]

you have so much time to run to whatever corner

its only the last 2 waves imo

[radiant flame]

Pretty much

[rose jewel]

and if you're stuck in the center, you're doing something wrong

its not hard imo

dont rely on the ts

[radiant flame]

You have a lot of time. Just chill out and work out where you’re going

[maiden locust]

I was near the edge, but not in the safe spot, tried ts blocked some dmg, but still killed me

[gleaming token]

yeah that's what i thought at first but then how come some quests have the pot greyed out and others don't?

[rose jewel]

follow the other people

[gleaming token]

like there is no way to just look at the quest and see if you have obtained the pot already?

[cloud totem]

real talk if this game is centered all around the few very important dps dummy rotations when the boss is not moving why is sight focus still just a 4fun engraving

[rose jewel]

because you havent got the rewards perhaps, or maybe bad game design, try to do a quest where its not greyed and see if you get the reward

[radiant flame]

This is weird. If you actually tsed then you can’t have died at the edge

So either you didn’t actually ts

[rose jewel]

i bet he was getting knockbacked by the wall

thus cant use an item

[radiant flame]

Or you might have been killed by people who got mced

Yeah. Ts lasts so long

[radiant flame]

Because sight focus is shit

Yes it’s burst oriented but that doesn’t mean you just dispense with a damage engraving entirely

[maiden locust]

I'm pretty sure how ts works xD
I got 1 hit, ts blocked the next 2 and got hit again

[radiant flame]

Sight focus lasts for no time

[rose jewel]

thats impossible

ts lasts for way too long for that

[radiant flame]

Most DPS rotations last longer than what sight focus offers

The only “use” for sight focus is surge for a reason

[cloud totem]

so if sight focus lasted say 12s it would be great?

[rose jewel]

you didnt use ts or you used it too early

[radiant flame]

Maybe. Probably not even

The sight focus buff isn’t that good either

[rose jewel]

sight focus is trash

[pliant hornet]

sorry anyone here, i need some help

[radiant flame]

I think it’s more - there’s a reason nobody uses it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[maiden locust]

shouldnt I ? I asked before and like literally everyone telling me to use TS after first hit

[radiant flame]

It’s basically drops of ether if you want to think of an analogy

[pliant hornet]

anyone know about this?

[maiden locust]

or is it like more of "get hit and ts after first hit of last wave"

[radiant flame]

No that’s shapes

Not maze

[rose jewel]

have you verified game files

[radiant flame]

You are confusing the two mechs

[pliant hornet]

i'm verified already

[rose jewel]

no, not your account nor steam

[radiant flame]

For pentagon/star you ts after the first wave

[rose jewel]

verify game files = fix game files

[radiant flame]

Because ts blocks the rest of the waves completely

[pliant hornet]

and it just happen with one char

[rose jewel]

that is how the option is called, literally

"Verify game files"

[radiant flame]

Maze lasts too long to ts the whole mech

[maiden locust]

nice, I didnt know that, more info thx

[radiant flame]

So you are supposed to ts at the end only as an emergency

[pliant hornet]

yeb i know,i;m fix game file with steam already bro

[radiant flame]

This is, quite literally, in atk’s video guide 🤷🏻‍♂️

[hollow scroll]

sight focus is okay if its at level 1

[pliant hornet]

but so strange it happen with my wardancer

other char can play normal

damn

[rose jewel]

were you in a timed whatever (island for example) when you logged out

[maiden locust]

so basically I should TS only the last wave just incase, if I couldnt get to edge

[radiant flame]

That’s when I would ts yes

[maiden locust]

aight ty

[radiant flame]

Because you can see the aoe

[pliant hornet]

i'm in punika last time i logg out

[radiant flame]

Only the final waves hit the outside

[rose jewel]

if you already verified game files and still no, then you have to open a ticket to official support and ask them to move your character to somewhere else

[radiant flame]

If you get trapped in the middle and I don’t know how, then I guess you just have to pot like mad and then ts at the last second

[pliant hornet]

where i can open a ticket?

[radiant flame]

But anyway, just chill out, take your time on maze. The damage doesn’t happen for a while. Plenty of time to find your way

[rose jewel]

lost ark's website

[pliant hornet]

oh okay,let me search

[rose jewel]

we had a command with a link but its ded

!support

yep, long gone

[radiant flame]

Rip best command

[pliant hornet]

:v

[rose jewel]

i coulda used it several times yesterday ngl

with the dude telling us why we dont do our work if we're official support

[cloud totem]

that cant be your logic to dissect something, if DB surge uses it it means the damage is good, its just not enough time for most classes

[radiant flame]

Sig- while you’re here. Do you think there’s any point in us collating an faq post and pinning it. I’m tired of the “what class should i play” and “how I make gold”

[cloud totem]

as a 5th engraving sight focus is probably one of the closest engravings to enter the meta for dps

[rose jewel]

if db surge uses a bad engrave, its because they wanted to meme or cheap out on an actual good build

[cloud totem]

maybe i dont play surge but he mentioned it i thought its a legit use

[radiant flame]

It can’t? There are a ton of people theorycrafting this game so there is usually a reason people don’t use something

[rose jewel]

i mean, people still not gonna read it xD lets be honest, but we can maybe just send them there, and then they will ask the same later

coz they didnt understand

[radiant flame]

Surge used to use it as a budget engraving but these days ether predator is just better

As an extra level 1 engraving

[rose jewel]

is it usable? yes, very
is it good? not really, not dead engrave but not as strong

if you happened to get an accesory for it (drop), yeah you can save a bit of cash and play with it for the time being

but yeah

[wet bone]

When transfering tripods does going from 1-5 make a difference from 4-5?

[rose jewel]

no

literally the same

you get a lv5 in the end

[wet bone]

but success rate doesn't improve is what I meant sorry

[rose jewel]

nope

10% (double with powder)

[wet bone]

Dope, ty

[radiant flame]

Well if you think it’s useful just as a reference it might be enough. I know you used some copy pastas before and typed some walls too. Maybe I’ll dm you some ideas with some feet pics later

[rose jewel]

ill take the feet pics thx

extra points if its brel's or vykas'

[maiden locust]

[rose jewel]

if i was any good at making guides i could probably have done 1 or 2 by now, same reason

im lazy to type out the same thing but with different words to different people

since some get the idea coz they've played mmos before, and some other new to the genre are slower to get what we're talking about

and my wording can use some help as well, one coz im super pepega and two coz im not a native english speaker
