[near cove]

ye so u have 1 full entry xd

just skip clown markss they are mid

maybe the honor shard pouches and the silver thats about it

[median jacinth]

lvl 2 set?

[near cove]

both of which you can get at a later date anyways

people usually do brel g1-4 and then go to clown

or g1-2 at the very least

[median jacinth]

hmm alright

il check it out on reset

that makes sense though

[cloud pendant]

guys i have a question. understand there is a limit of how many char i can do knowledge transfer. if my current alt is the last char to KT before having to do story again, if i deelte this char and make new char can i still KT?

[pseudo atlas]

the limit is a hard limit and none of the numbers ever go down

[cloud pendant]

also how do i find out if this is the last char i can do KT?

is tehre anywhere i can see this?

[pseudo atlas]

on the kt screen

[cloud pendant]

so it says 7/9 KT meaning i can do 2 more?

what about the 14/15 in red?

[exotic vine]

what does fppc stand for in kungelanium parties?

[torpid lantern]

Does Crisis Evasion cooldown reset on death?

[shy yarrow]

no

[heady sand]

Is there a way to change the teleport music from guitar to flute?

[shy yarrow]

flare phero phero corrosive, the items you use according to party num

[vale spire]

first person flares, second and third person phero, fourth person does corrosive

[shy yarrow]

change class that's it

[heady sand]

oh

[vale spire]

Intruments are class specific

[shy yarrow]

they're fixed unless a skin can change them and I don't think so

[exotic vine]

all at once?

[shy yarrow]

no, in order, flare first to find guardian then corro for break shell at first then phero when he tried to leave

[vale spire]

Do you understand kung mechs?

Should probably understand what those battle items do first so you know when you're supposed to use them

[shy yarrow]

as long as you use the item you're supposed to then youre fine, just let them know its your first time

[heady sand]

How long will it take to complete the story express?

[vale spire]

at least 40-50 hours

[echo owl]

absolutely not

i finished the whole thing in ~15 hours

[heady sand]

oh ok

[echo owl]

granted i have the power of shift g, otherwise expect ~25 hours on avg

[vale spire]

from level 10 to end of south vern?

[echo owl]

yes

[heady sand]

thanks

[pseudo atlas]

15 hours is pretty fast but 40 hours is extremely slow

[vale spire]

40 hours doesn't seem that slow when you have 1500 hours in the game

[amber totem]

I took 90 hours the first time. Grabbed all mokokos, did all horizontal I could as I was going

Then got to Shushire and had fatigue so just went with the Island guide.

[vale spire]

It also depends on if you have the mats to get to T3 and whether you're going to buy the mats or grind them

[echo owl]

story express skips all the requirements to gear

[vale spire]

oh really? didn't know that

makes more sense then

[echo owl]

the time to complete is purely the speed of just finishing story quests

nothing more

[amber totem]

shift G should get you down to like 19 hoursish total

Maybe faster?

[heady sand]

ok prob will do that

[silk tinsel]

is there another event vendor exept for the naruni one?

[pseudo atlas]

that is the only event vendor atm

[silk tinsel]

oki ty 🙂

[wild stratus]

hi so i have these engravings , but idk which relic to build , is it hallucination or salvation please

[heady sand]

Do I have to use the hyper pass on the character I used the story express on?

[timber mauve]

No, you can use it on anyone.

Well, given they’re 1340+ ilvl.

[heady sand]

How do I get someone other than my main character to that lvl?

[somber jewel]

Easiest is finish Punika and use the power pass

[timber mauve]

You’ll get a free punika pass that’ll take you to 1340 ilvl once you complete punika and a purple quest chain.

The quest is given by an npc to the right of Nia once you finish the punika msq.

[heady sand]

Oh so I can use that on another character after I finish the story express?

[timber mauve]

Yes

[somber jewel]

Yes

[timber mauve]

Beat you to it

[heady sand]

Thank ypu

lol

[somber jewel]

Does Vern give the two free ones with the story express?

[timber mauve]

The two north Vern power passes are permanent and always given after you complete the north Vern msq and reach level 50.

[somber jewel]

Well once per region

[devout cape]

So what am I supposed to prioritize at 1445? Cause each upgrade takes like 10 taps and I’m sucking out all my mats and gold. Should I just save up and focus on books so I’m at least getting somewhere?

[rustic cliff]

is there a gm in the server that can just ban the bots?

trying to fish in peace here

[bleak basin]

Not really

[echo owl]

let them fish

[timber mauve]

you do realize this discord isn't connected with AGS or SG in any way, right?

[rustic cliff]

bummer, im just seeing 1 bot added every min to the hoard xD

[vagrant veldt]

Just use a different fishing spot

There's some nice quiet ones in svern

[faint pagoda]

do the ones in svern drop oreha stuff

[vagrant veldt]

Yeah, it's after Punika in story after all

[brave rapids]

if I take an alt to Rowen, does it need to do the questline to move freely across the maps?

[timber mauve]

no

rowen is entirely side story/content

[brave rapids]

okay i was just wondering if i could enter the 2nd map mostly without having done the quests

the wolflands

[timber mauve]

oh, idk about that

[brave rapids]

its not really a big deal, just doing adv tome

could probably speed this up if my zerker were here instead

for movespeed and aoes lol

[unique fox]

guys should new players go straight for LoS 18 and 30 or is Lostwind Cliffs 12 still worth going for?

[timber mauve]

You can't really go for card sets like that. It took people running 12+ alts every day and buying out the cash shop on reset nearly a year to finish los30.

[vagrant veldt]

If you put on the notification in #941175805487235112 you can get Seria to 5 super easy

And if you play the story on 2 accounts (trivial with NVern pass) you can get Solas to 2

The rest is RNG

[unique fox]

Haha alright, I haven't touched cards at all yet so i had no idea how difficult it is to get

[faint pagoda]

if youre doing merchants might aswell farm deep dive while youre at it

[vagrant veldt]

Yeah cards are something that happens to you more than anything else, especially LoS

[brave rapids]

@timber mauve it didn't work. im taking this feeling of disappointment to bed 🥹

[exotic vine]

how much gold does vykas hard give?

[faint pagoda]

4,5?

[exotic vine]

oh ok cool

[sinful dawn]

bit of a stupid question I suppose, but how do people have a +20 Brel weapon already,? Especially given the calculator is quoting at least 130k odd red stones on average for it...

is it even possible to have farmed that much from chaos and guardians, or is it just real mega whale swipage/ stupidly lucky?

[rigid plank]

mostly farming degens and swipers

most of those degens i mention of are people who play 6+ character rosters with majority of chars 1490-1520+

[sinful dawn]

I see

Ig I'll get there eventually...

[timber mauve]

You can convert the lower red stones into new ones. People have had many months to save for this.

[sinful dawn]

ig I'm just scuffed lol

because it's still like a 5 to 1 conversion rate

[pseudo atlas]

well how long have you been playing

and with how many alts

[sinful dawn]

since week 1

took a bit of time to make alts though, due to irl studies and time limitations

[devout cape]

Should I get the extra rewards on either HM valtan as a 1445 noob?

[faint pagoda]

probably yes

[cedar shore]

Guys, is it worth it to sell guardian stones that are selling for 1 gold for each bundle?
The deposit fee itself is the same amount as I would get from the stones soo idk, or do you get the deposit fee later?

[faint pagoda]

iirc you do get the money but it doesnt seem worth it

destruction stones maybe

[cedar shore]

I hope thats the case, i'm trying to calculate how much I could roughly earn per week so I'll probably test it out for a full week

[faint pagoda]

i mean theres videos of people selling those and obviously people ARE selling them

[cedar shore]

Yeah, i just asked cause it wasn't very clear when i tried to list them XD

[maiden locust]

Best way to farm battle potions?

I have 0 remaining and it's tough

[faint pagoda]

foraging

and crafting in sh

[maiden locust]

Where do you like to forage?

[faint pagoda]

or buying in market

mhhh

[maiden locust]

What is mhhh?

[faint pagoda]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q94JEk-z44

probably there

[cedar shore]

I would say try to use the farm on ur stronghold to get bound materials and craft them, otherwise you can go to foraging spots to get materials to then craft them as well

[faint pagoda]

or platinum field tickets if you have any

[cedar shore]

If you're too lazy to do that (cause most of us are xd) you can also just buy them xd

[maiden locust]

I am gold starved

Going to forage

[faint pagoda]

crafting is also gonna cost you some gold

[cedar shore]

^^

But gonna be way way cheaper than buying them so i advise you to do that

[maiden locust]

Is elemental hp potion best potion craftable?

Or do you recommend major hp potion?

[faint pagoda]

id do major

im also only using major

[devout granite]

at what point should you upgrade to legendary/relic trade skill tools?

[faint pagoda]

i think most people only use em for the minigames in excavating and toolswap

[snow wadi]

Niheltalops best excavating spot?

or should I run rowen and let betrayal set collect some collectibles while excavating?

[faint pagoda]

me no excavator

im merely an old fisherman

[snow wadi]

Lvl58 on excavating - i cant switch anymore

[cedar shore]

daaaamn thats nice

How much gold do you get with ur life energy on average :o

[snow wadi]

I'm not actively checking the market prices to be honest

I just farm, so I never have to buy fusion mats from othjers

and when im in desperate need of gold I sell some stuff

[vital scaffold]

i am thinking about buying a legendary kit to make a rod with but i am poor in this game

[cedar shore]

Fair enough, thats what i'll probably do as well

[snow wadi]

doing so much stuff in Lost Ark I CBA to play the market game on top of that

[cedar shore]

Yeaaah

[snow wadi]

personally I'd go epic or relic, legendary is a waste of gold IMO

[cedar shore]

I just wanted to get a rough estimate cause i kinda don't pay attention to my life energy so I wanted to know if i'm missing out on a lot 💀

[echo owl]

4k daily

[vital scaffold]

if you go relic and you have bad stats you waste like 40k gold tho D:

[cedar shore]

4k gold? :o

[snow wadi]

Ye but chances to not have a good relic tool are smaller than for legendary

because rolls are usually higher and you roll 1 more stat

Legendary feels like more gamba to me than relic, but then again, that's my personal opinion

[vital scaffold]

no it makes 100% sense

just such a high investment

[strange veldt]

Can anyone help me on Valtan on the northwest servers PM me

[silver mirage]

The main issue with that medrick monestary location is no mushrooms

Also it's never worth going beyond epic for tools

[snow wadi]

u done the math? I'm sure a relic excavating tool or fishing rod pays off in long term

[silver mirage]

i have both

lmao

[snow wadi]

unless you do stronghold farming

[silver mirage]

the upfront investment is huge

the gains are pretty marginal

and the rng is pretty bad

if you're comparing best case relic to best case epic

you can make a feasible argument that the invest will eventually become worthwhile

realistically, you can spam something like 400 epic tools per relic attempt

[snow wadi]

still more likely to get a good rolled relic, than a good rolled epic

[silver mirage]

yea but the cost difference is like 400x

its just not worth it imo

relic gets 5 lines, epic gets 3

its way easier to just spam epic rods till you get a good one with normal material + minigame reward

then it's ez street from there

[high mist]

what are the 3 best shard dailies to do?

[silver mirage]

u can just search unas by reward

[high mist]

im just not sure how long some of the take

i was trying to find some dailies similar to the feiton and mokamoka ones

[shy yarrow]

theres the yorn cooking one that i do, pretty fast

[silver mirage]

ur stuck on meat aren't u

[shy yarrow]

byproduct is that you might get the meat needed for the cooking

its been a year

no meat

[silver mirage]

all the best shard ones are smoge anyway

[high mist]

[silver mirage]

runaway island

shadow island

[high mist]

i finished that one in less than a week

at least getting the meat

[snow wadi]

personally doing the north vern one

[silver mirage]

fesnar highlands was popular

but it got bot infested

may or may not be an issue on ur server

[high mist]

i remember doing runaway island but i havent done the shadow island one ever

[silver mirage]

shadow island is trash

its so long

but so many shards

[maiden locust]

Why does potion crafting only give us 3 per craft...

[silver mirage]

because fuck you

why are u even out of pots

the game gives you so many for free

[maiden locust]

That's exactly what the game is saying

[silver mirage]

i legit compete with amazon

to make money selling pots

[maiden locust]

It's on my other character

[silver mirage]

pot chests are roster storagable

[maiden locust]

209 battle potions on 1 character

[wintry mauve]

I hope they aren’t purple

[maiden locust]

It doesn't let me move them

[shy yarrow]

fesnar is impossible on my server

[maiden locust]

Bound

[faint pagoda]

[maiden locust]

Potions for the future

[silver mirage]

every time i make pots

amazon releases pot chests

it's truly smoge

i'm just an honest duck

out here trying to make an honest living

now i just speculate on fish

[maiden locust]

I wish I could make potions out of fish

[silver mirage]

no

fish must remain whole

in order for you to speculate

[maiden locust]

What is your strategy

[silver mirage]

buy low

sell high

[shy yarrow]

skate fast, eat ass

[silver mirage]

bro fish is 270 a stack right now on NAE

270

for fucking FISH

[faint pagoda]

same on euc

[maiden locust]

Is that a lot

[faint pagoda]

[shy yarrow]

fish was once 10 gold

[faint pagoda]

used to be 60

[silver mirage]

do you see this shit

DO YOU SEE IT

[shy yarrow]

for like months

[faint pagoda]

is this gme

[silver mirage]

THATS MONEY TO BE MADE

[maiden locust]

Should I be fishing and selling my fish to buy potions

I think I should

[shy yarrow]

yes

[faint pagoda]

im im going to short fish

[shy yarrow]

fish is unironically the best life skill now

[silver mirage]

this fish price is unsustainable

[maiden locust]

What is this website?

[faint pagoda]

[silver mirage]

https://www.lostarkmarket.online/north-america-east/market?search=fish

wait until fish bubble pops

buy up fish for cheap

wait to sell high

[maiden locust]

Sounds like a good idea

[silver mirage]

i sold my fish for like 170

i didn't believe

my paper hands

i posted this on 3/15

thinking this was a good deal

waited a few more days and sold at 170

if i waited until today

that coulda been 1.08m

[maiden locust]

Why do people want fish besides oreha?

[silver mirage]

to speculate

that's it

lmao

[wintry mauve]

Oreha is pretty much the only reason

[silver mirage]

it also is used in food

but orehas is the main reason

[wintry mauve]

Did u farm all those or buy up at lower price

[maiden locust]

I love it

[silver mirage]

farm some

bought most

[maiden locust]

Going to save all my fish besides some for oreha

[silver mirage]

i bought most of these fish at like sub 50

i didn't go all in

i shoulda gone ALL in

[wintry mauve]

Miss the bots man I should’ve done that lol NAW was hella cheap b4

[silver mirage]

stoopz was right all along

fish to the moon

[wintry mauve]

Fr

[silver mirage]

fishing sucks tho until u get net

net is very big

[pliant urchin]

Question, is the another powerpass after today maintenance ?

[maiden locust]

Better than foraging

Thought I was going to die

[silver mirage]

foraging speeds up at 30

once u get thumb

[maiden locust]

Well I will never get thumb now

[silver mirage]

no that's in the 4/12 content patch

[maiden locust]

Fish forever

[pliant urchin]

ahhhh @silver mirage thanks, we will get it but its on next week. thanks

[maiden locust]

I need another punika pass

[cedar shore]

They're gonna give a powerpass in that patch?

[amber totem]

No

[pseudo atlas]

there is not another powerpass coming

[silver mirage]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/leveling-up-for-brelshaza-hard-mode

this is old

we already have this then

[cedar shore]

If only they gave us another one

[maiden locust]

I want ags to give us slayer before aero

[amber totem]

We all do

[silver mirage]

slayer is hella busted

i pray they don't nerf it before giving it to us

[maiden locust]

Double specialist class too soon

Sorcerer was early right?

Launch exception?

[silver mirage]

sorc was a launch class

[dapper thunder]

is weekly reset tonight or tomorrow night?

[silver mirage]

it's in 4 hours 24 minutes

[maiden locust]

But it recently released in kr at the time no?

[balmy plank]

Frick slayer, gimmi Aero. And yea Sorc is a newish class in KR. Launch for NA/Eau

[vital scaffold]

what you guys think will be the new male class for KR? i really hope for sorc

[heady sand]

Is west luterra the longest section because it was pretty long?

[snow wadi]

You mean story wise?

East Luterra is longer 😅

[maiden locust]

I take it all back

When soul eater releases I swap main

[rigid plank]

South Vern and Elgacia would like to meet with you

[nova forge]

Hi guys i am new player

[shy yarrow]

hi new player

[nova forge]

I'm not very good with English but any advice starting as a sorceress?

[shy yarrow]

get to tier 3 as fast as possible if you dont enjoy the story/leveling experience

[nova forge]

in lvl 50 right?

or heard about it is to reach level of my items around 1300 or not?

[wintry mauve]

The game rlly “starts” at 1302 once u completed most of the main stories

That’s when u can start doing ur daily stuff like chaos dungeons

And get mats that’ll actually matter

[nova forge]

and look for a guild after or before that level?

[wintry mauve]

If u can try to find a guild as soon as possible. They won’t be rlly much help until u start needing to do legion raids at 1415. But try to find a good guild that helps out new players a good guild is pretty vital in this game imo to have a more comfortable experience

[nova forge]

I joined one but it has people disconnected so I don't know how to get out yet but I will keep looking in that case

tranks you for your tips

[wintry mauve]

Try not to join any dead ones. This discord has channels that can help u find guilds in ur server. Look for any that welcomes newbies or helps out guildies in raids

[nova forge]

join any dead ones? What do you mean by that?

[wintry mauve]

Lotta guilds out there have ppl that join only for the bloodstones so they don’t rlly communicate w each other at all. Active guilds where they do raids and stuff together is better

[nova forge]

I had the idea to join people who talk regularly and make inroads or just hang out really but thanks

[celest cloud]

hi i played on release and grinded to lvl50 as a sorc but lost interest bc i didnt know what to do next... i wanna get back into it but i forgot literally everything so i made a new char as an artist! i feel like there mightve been a lot of new content or something added while i was gone so idk im just intimidated by everything LOL any help in dms would b nice ^_^

[nova forge]

I still haven't reached lvl 50 but he still believes me pj sorcerer

[wintry mauve]

Rn there is a hyper story express that lets u get through the entire story up to ilevel 1340 a bit faster than normal. Afterwards u can apply the hyper express to help boost that character up to 1445. Other than that best to watch some beginner guides on yt

[vagrant veldt]

New content is almost entirely postgame, you didnt even get to like half the content there was on release

[autumn karma]

What does "Restricted trading item level 1370(-1380) mean ? Anything special I have to do to sell items on the market ?

[wintry mauve]

Gotta have ur highest char be like 1375 to be able to sell certain mats

[autumn karma]

One of my char.'s is 1370 though & those tradeable mats that are 1370 capped say the same thing

[wintry mauve]

I’m pretty sure u gotta be 1375 not 1370 to be able to do that.

[autumn karma]

Or can you just not sell jewelry ?

ahh i see

[wintry mauve]

U have trusted status right

[autumn karma]

Umm how do I get that ?

Ngl new to the game just got Vern pass to play with some friends.. Normally against buying stuff like this but I work too much these days to grind the early things

[wintry mauve]

https://forums.playlostark.com/t/an-update-to-fraud-prevention-in-lost-ark/419449

[autumn karma]

@wintry mauveThank you so much ❤️

[wintry mauve]

I don’t think that’s the problem tho j get ur char to 1375 and if it still doesn’t work than yea try that

[maiden locust]

How does people trade gems ? like 1:1 trade

[wintry mauve]

Wdym

[thorny pecan]

does artist a tiny bit of damage? like can it manage itself in chaos dungeons?

[shy yarrow]

you can clear chaos fine with artist yes

[wintry mauve]

All classes r able to. J slap preemptive strike on it

[shy yarrow]

you have to be in the same server and walk up to them and ctrl + right click to trade

[thorny pecan]

how about damage in general then?

[shy yarrow]

zero

[thorny pecan]

i know it's a support and that it's mainly focused on it

okay ty

[shy yarrow]

you are playing a support, even though artist is the best of the 3 in terms of dps builds

you do not compare to an actual dps class at all

[thorny pecan]

yeah okay ty ty

how about dps classes

is arcanist a good option?

[shy yarrow]

they all have enough dps to be viable and perfectly acceptable for all content

arcana has some of the highest dps possible in the game

[thorny pecan]

okay, would you say there are better? i don't want to be dragged by meta but if there are some characters that im thinking about maining then if one of those are good it'll surely help abit

or are all classes balanced very well?

[shy yarrow]

some are, player skill and raid/gates play a bigger role than anything else

comparing very strong classes to some of the weaker ones is normally where you get the stigma and stereotypes from

[thorny pecan]

okay

but i'll be completely fine if i pick arcanist?

[shy yarrow]

high skill high reward class with massive rng but insanely good

[thorny pecan]

the "massive rng" part

does it make the character useless if i don't get good cards?

[shy yarrow]

both builds are on the same level and has everything they need to compete and exceed even the highest dps classes like igniter

[shy yarrow]

no, the cards thing plays a big role in whether or not you will be a good or a great arcana, but they are rng so you have to use what you get, and if you get star card you cry

[thorny pecan]

so it just changes from a average dps to a insane dps depending on what cards i get?

[shy yarrow]

look through the arcana community guide if you want better explanations since i dont play the class

[fresh terrace]

but also if you are just starting out, I think arcanist is one of the classes that require the most amount of "collectibles" for the highest dps output

like skillpoints and runes

[shy yarrow]

pretty much, knowing what cards work well with what or how to use them is part of the high skill cap

wealth runes on empress are kinda necessary i think

[thorny pecan]

i've played a bit when the game got released i'm just a returning player and know pretty much nothing

[shy yarrow]

but you can get them

[fresh terrace]

I'd say you will get everything with time, and just for now until you get the stuff you need pick something you like, and dont expect to blow up shit :D

[thorny pecan]

okay ty :D i'll try the arcanist

[fresh terrace]

and dont worry if you dont like it at the end, you can just make it a slave and pick something else

[maiden locust]

wait what? there's such thing?

[shy yarrow]

yes, you can trade with players on your server

[maiden locust]

I know I can mail other people on same server, but like trade at same time?

Good to know such thing exist

[shy yarrow]

i have used it like twice, but yes, it exists lmao

[hollow scroll]

still costs pheons if you send accs though

[cloud pendant]

do we know how much average daily shard we get from 1540 and 1560 chaos?

[shy yarrow]

korea might, but as always its an increase like normal

[minor briar]

probably goes from 15k to like 16-18k per

[faint roost]

One aspect i dont think ive seen people mention is that, arcana is a high skill cap class, for both engravings, there is no such thing as a set rotation like many classes have and you have to adjust how you play, depending on what cards you get. So just keep in mind it can be a hard class to play.

[thorny pecan]

Thanks

[astral coral]

question about bots and multiboxing it's impossible to watch on this whole vern is full of bot's and multiboxers

I'm reporting them but it's usless more I report them more they come

is there any way to help banning this ?

[echo owl]

no

[shy yarrow]

give up, i mean it, youre fighting an ocean of bots with a paddle

its not like your efforts are completely in vain, since they do have some systems for verifying reports, but it is a job you are completely outnumbered in

[astral coral]

....

[outer fossil]

Wouldn't it be fixed if amazon removes player to player trade ingame so things like rmt wouldn't be possible anymore?

[fresh terrace]

bots farm gems and flood the marketplace

you cant take the market away

they also farm tradeskill mats and flood the market with that

[outer fossil]

Yea but if they are farming gold and player to player trade is removed they wouldn't be able to give it to anybody

So rmt ain't possible anymore

[late lichen]

They can buy stuff from you for gold

Unless you want to remove whole market

[outer fossil]

True that

Why doesn't korea has such an huge bot problem if I may ask?

[fresh terrace]

to play on korea you need an ID

[echo owl]

identification is required

[astral coral]

@outer fossilTrue watched some vids on YT Korea and Russian servers don't have so much bots or multiboxers

I mean they have them but not su much as EUC

[late lichen]

So unless you have ton of kids, you cant really bot on KR

[fresh terrace]

like for ex "" you need to enter your passport number when you register" " so you can play

[late lichen]

Or go rampage adopting children in KR to bot

[outer fossil]

Wouldn't the same be an option for eu as well?

[fresh terrace]

I think its ID number, phone number, and postal address

[echo owl]

no?

here you just need a steam

[fresh terrace]

no, I think EU and NA laws ban that

[echo owl]

that shits so easy to make

kr you need a literal kr phone number / sin

[outer fossil]

Mh aight

[astral coral]

I mean is there any glitch like in wow servers u simply fuck up they route and do something with thouse bots

they are not smart just running and gathering

[fresh terrace]

no cuz there are actual jobs where you take a high level character and boost bots

like when you check party finder there is a guy carrying bots in hard valtan

getting paid like 20 quid

[astral coral]

....

[fresh terrace]

so its a never ending cycle

[echo owl]

idk why you’re so adamant on preventing bots

you’re only gonna realistically impact the 0.1% of them

[fresh terrace]

just dont think about it, report some but ther is a point where you cant report every single one

you can fuck them over if you know how they work

for ex when they are going fishing and there are 30 bots in the game fishing spot, and you use an emote to cover their fishing bobber

so they dont know when they have a catch etc

but its like wasting your own time

[astral coral]

ah so there is a way to troll them

[fresh terrace]

yeah but why would you, its just a waste of time

[astral coral]

i mean its free to play game

[fresh terrace]

I once also went matchmaking on oreha hard and got matched with 3 bots

I just alt f4d and they were probably stuck for a while

[astral coral]

sad

wery sad...

[fresh terrace]

but yeah, just accept the fact and wait for some ban waves, but they will level new ones so

[outer fossil]

So its basically impossible to completly remove bots from the game xd

[visual halo]

Hello, I have a problem, can anyone help? I started a new server and I finished all the missions in the North Vern even now Sunshire is almost finished but I still haven't received the powerpass, what should I do?

[fresh terrace]

yeah, lost ark is a game where you can automate most of the stuff sadly

like bots can even do chaos dungeons solo by themselves

[outer fossil]

Which powerpass?

[fresh terrace]

the first one

[outer fossil]

Ah

Wasnt it just there for first month or smth?

[fresh terrace]

Once you complete the Main Quest (Ealyn's Gift) from North Vern, you will receive a single Vern Power Pass Token via in-game mail.

[visual halo]

LVL 50 pass

[edgy sand]

Look in your mailbox

[fresh terrace]

if you dont have it you havent completed the questline fully

[visual halo]

yes look in my mail box but dont have

yes completed quest fully

[fresh terrace]

just do the blue quests and you will get it eventually

[echo owl]

bro just said he finished shushire

[outer fossil]

He almost finished shushire*

[cinder otter]

guilds aren't cross server right? Looking at the EUC guild recruitment chat makes me think I chose poorly with my server 😄

[outer fossil]

Arent cross server y

[cinder otter]

cheers

[fresh terrace]

yeah but like im pretty sure the problem is on his end so

[astral coral]

btw wanted to ask after completing hyper express 1445 looted 6k gold but now i have somecind a restriction with gold will it pop away or i need to do something with it?

[outer fossil]

Just type into search bar "in:euc guild recruitment channel" and ur server name afterwards so it filters the guild recruitments on ur server

@cinder otter

[cinder otter]

yea I did that, last post 1 month ago and checking out the guild ingame it has like 7/something members 😄

but thanks for the advice, I'll keep my eyes out

[outer fossil]

F

[cinder otter]

maybe they'll merge servers at some point

[edgy sand]

What server you in?

[cinder otter]

Trixion

[delicate breach]

unless you're zosma

[outer fossil]

Zosma = an dead server? Sorry to ask but no clue since I came back to la like 2 weeks ago after a year break xd

[delicate breach]

it's so dead that the last guild post was last year ;-;

[outer fossil]

Lmao

Guilds are kinda useless imo anyways, so bloodstone guild it is xd

[distant python]

can anyone tell me if the servers are up or not ?

[regal path]

No worries, first day always hurts

[shell pumice]

Hello. One question. In Brel Hard you get the chest if you clear any gate? Can you clean G1-G2 in Normal mode and then clear G3 and get the chest?

[kind gull]

@regal path Yeeee I know it, I'll be fine though at this point with the end of feeling like crap. Might do a multistream once lost ark is back online, not sure yet. Cleaning up my playspace, I'd have to hide a few things in the background if I was do start up a multistream though, not sure what I'm going to do yet.

[kind gull]

Not a clue tbh

[haughty wharf]

Yes you can do 1-2 hard 3-6 normal

any1 know which bosses are weak to holy

[pallid quail]

Hey. Is opening 1370 abyssal dungeon and argos chests worth it? It doesn't seem bad value for the leapstones but dunno if I should save the gold

[shell pumice]

no i mean 1-2 normal and then 3-6 hard and get the chest from first clear in hard

[haughty wharf]

why how would u even do that

[buoyant herald]

first clear reward is given for first g1 clear

[shell pumice]

a guildmate have an artist and have a problem with the horns

[haughty wharf]

[shell pumice]

he gets 82 horns this week. He needs 1 armor and 1 weapon. So he will have 42 next week crafting the armor. He needs to change 1 piece from normal to hard and get another 40 horns but he still needs 18 more horns

which is a 1-2 or 3-4 clear in normal. So his plan is doing G1-2 normal and G3-G4 hard but he needs the 30 first clear chest and if only can get it in G1- has a problem xD

[buoyant herald]

[haughty wharf]

can’t he just wait for his weapon

Whats the issue

you need to have full set on at least 1 char before you can transfer

[buoyant herald]

wdym any piece
he needs achievement for getting full set

[shell pumice]

so you need to have full Brel normal set before changing one piece from normal to hard with the new materials?

[buoyant herald]

yes

just need it on any char in the roster

doesnt have to be on the artist

[shell pumice]

yes but he has another char with the full set

[buoyant herald]

then he's good

just pray to rng gods for ilvl

[shell pumice]

the problem is the same. He needs the chest from clear and need to know if you can get it in any gate or only G1

[buoyant herald]

g1

[shell pumice]

So if he only can get it in G1 he is in trouble xD

Any advice on getting card exp other than cubes?

[wintry mauve]

Did u place her?

[wintry mauve]

At least on one char I’m pretty sure

[teal thistle]

Ye that's what I thought too, but can't find any confirmation on that

[wintry mauve]

It’s in the lost ark news u need to have gotten the achievement for equipping all 6 pieces then ur fine

[teal thistle]

Now I see that article, one place I didn't expect I'd find answer. Thanks a lot for the help

[brisk helm]

Yes you need full nm brel gear to transfer into ancient

[edgy sand]

What is the cheapest to buy in lost ark shop for real money? Is it the €9,99 royal crystals pack?

[glad gulch]

hello guys, I can't run my game with dx9, did it got removed ? I can't see the dx9/dx11 setting anymore

[blazing badger]

yeah, I think they removed dx9

[glad gulch]

thank you

[winter hawk]

[rose jewel]

fishing/hunting/exca you can directly go to a tier 3 continent, even at lv1 life skill, and get those mats, the higher lv nodes for like gathering/cutting/mining only grants you a bit more mats

[old peak]

Pro tip: fishing best

[near cove]

is it?

[old peak]

Fishing mega best

[near cove]

excavating makes good resources as well

[old peak]

Exca just boring with all that running around you have to do. And then you need to memorize the good spots. Pftttt

[rose jewel]

pro tip: check what's worth for YOUR REGION coz markets are different and changing every day

[maiden locust]

kristopher spittin facts bullshit

[old peak]

Hey crab fak you

[rose jewel]

i prefer exca myself

[maiden locust]

hey kris, fak u too

[old peak]

[rose jewel]

i cant sit in a fishing spot for idk how long, its mind fuckingly boring

[maiden locust]

life skills overrated

[old peak]

@maiden locust Stronghold level 15 POG

I love fishing because it isn’t exca

[sour flint]

what does "orb" or "orb x2" or "wei" mean in the group title in valtan?

[timber mauve]

I just never do life skills

[rose jewel]

doing the mech or cheesing the mech

[edgy sand]

Is the €9,99 pack for crystals the cheapest you can get in lost ark shop?

[timber mauve]

Means they’re gonna do orb mech or Wei cheese for g1 valtan.

[regal path]

Guys im ilvl 1447 with argos gear should i change it to valatans/vykas one ?

[old peak]

O.O

[timber mauve]

Yes. Relic gear takes a fat shit on legendary gear.

[old peak]

Oi

[timber mauve]

Why you looking for Monke anyways? You’re not high enough ilvl for him.

[old peak]

How do I get relic treasure map? I see people posting screenshot of them and I haven’t gotten one ever

[timber mauve]

I’ve been playing for over a year and I’ve never gotten one.

[old peak]

Something rainbow something

[timber mauve]

[rose jewel]

its so funny and sad at the same time seeing euw with 2 servers only, and they cant even get to busy ever

[deft vine]

What does it mean that, when I right click a card it says "Would you like to register a new card tot he inventory" instead of being added automatically?

[rose jewel]

coz its new

dupes wont ask that

and it tells you how many slots you still have

[shy yarrow]

theres a setting now to just accept the card or auto add them i think

[rose jewel]

i like to watch how i dont get LoS cards and cry myself to sleep

[deft vine]

how do i increase that number it says i have 19 slots left?

[rose jewel]

alt+C, 3rd tab, scroll down, buy with blue crystals

[deft vine]

oh hell yeah cool

so if i am adding cards that dont ask me its just adding dupes?

[heady zealot]

how does the weekly gold limit work? I thought i understood it but it doesnt make sense to me now

[timber mauve]

6 characters can get gold rewards from activities

That’s all there is to it.

[rose jewel]

pty much, and you need dupes to awaken a card if you were wondering

[deft vine]

so having a big catalog is worth it?

[tulip tapir]

when i using punika archeological map do i have chance to drop expert craft kit form there? or do i n eed to equip higher excavation tool than my violet?

[timber mauve]

If you got nothing better to spend gold and your blue crystals on, sure.

[regal path]

can you guys explain to me why please ?

[radiant flame]

Yes you have a chance to drop craft kits at the end. However crafting archaeological maps are not profitable

[radiant flame]

Just hit continue

[rose jewel]

ignore

[tulip tapir]

So, what is more profitable?

[radiant flame]

It’s just a message telling you that honing brel gear is easier. But you need 1490 to do brel and transfer so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[radiant flame]

Just look on your region. You can make gold by crafting battle items and orehas normally

[regal path]

ignore or swap to valtan gear ?

[regal path]

ignore or swap to valtan gear

[rose jewel]

sigh

just press ok

[regal path]

lol okay

still same HONNIN % ?

[rose jewel]

same everything

[radiant flame]

Yes

[regal path]

ALRIGHT not worth swaping then

[rose jewel]

what

[regal path]

from argos to valtans

[rose jewel]

if you dont swap you're shooting yourself in the foot for no reason

[radiant flame]

You also need to in order to upgrade to brel

[rose jewel]

yes its NOT NEEDED to keep honing to 20

BUT you NEED valtan/vykas gear sooner or later

because relic is extremely strong compared to argos/chosen

you want to do vykas and valtan, yes or yes

otherise you cant progress further

[regal path]

but we need 1490 right

[rose jewel]

for what

for what do you want or think you need 1490 for

[uncut schooner]

If you don’t actually play raids there is no point crafting Valtan gear. You could go chosen -> Brel

If Brel requires 1490

[radiant flame]

No right now you cannot go from chosen to brel

You can only transfer relic to brel

[uncut schooner]

And you have enough stuff to straight go to 1490 anyway and then buy Brel bus 🚎 😂

Ohh didn’t know that

[regal path]

truue only for brel

[rose jewel]

you indeed need a relic piece to transfer to brel relic

literally cant progress if you dont do vykas nor valtan

even if you have 10M gold due to swiping, cant get further if you dont raid

[regal path]

tbh the only thing thats keeps me playing lost ark its legions

yes sir your word noted

thankyou

[rose jewel]

you and probably 98% of the people

[agile compass]

homework ?

[rose jewel]

at least monke is fun, or so ive heard

[radiant flame]

Yes. But why a different server 🙈

[rose jewel]

i think there are so many wrong things in here

[radiant flame]

You’re not happy with just…playing with them cross server?

But yeah you can. You just lose account rewards you received on your first server

[rose jewel]

nothing will be carried over

[radiant flame]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[rose jewel]

if you already got your vern passes, i believe you can only use them on trixion

and you cant get more in that region

[uncut schooner]

One day in the future all servers will be merged anyway. 🥹 but can take a couple of years

[rose jewel]

nor another story express

[radiant flame]

What

[uncut schooner]

Of course

[radiant flame]

Of course what

KR still has about 15 servers

[uncut schooner]

Obviously they will be merged, population will decrease going into the far future it is normal

[radiant flame]

Not “all”

[uncut schooner]

Servers will always getting merged

[rose jewel]

he's pulling your hair hahaha

(or maybe no)

[uncut schooner]

Last stage will be just one server in a region

Pretty sure though he is not planning to wait that long 😂

[radiant flame]

I am certain have no actual information about this so I’m not sure what benefit spreading what can only be described as misinformation can have

[uncut schooner]

Common Sense. Mmos come and go. And along their lifetime servers merge together.

[radiant flame]

But you have no knowledge about this for lost ark is my point

[silver mirage]

[radiant flame]

KR has been around longer

[idle flume]

Hey guys, what class/skill has the animation where a fish leaps out of the ground?

[radiant flame]

And their population is steady and huge

[agile compass]

Amazon makes the decision for na/eu tho

And smilegate makes it for theirs

We already merged once

[uncut schooner]

Exactly that’s why it will take longer . Lost ark is pretty healthy

[agile compass]

Why won't it happen again.

[eternal fern]

might be artist "paint: inkwell"

[radiant flame]

This guys suggesting it will be a single server in 2 years time

🙈

[shy yarrow]

lost arks population has been so skewed that even if theres only 20k players that number has only been going down

[uncut schooner]

Nobody said that , now you are making up things stop 🤣

[shy yarrow]

that is it

[eternal fern]

to be fair he never gave a time frame

[radiant flame]

Making this up?

i think la is still among most popular mmos

but its crazy how much it fell off

[uncut schooner]

Where in this Discord did you read “2 years”?? 😂😅

[radiant flame]

Do you understand “couple”

[uncut schooner]

In fact what I suggested is even the opposite if you read

[radiant flame]

Right

[uncut schooner]

“In the far future” is 2 years to you

[silver mirage]

damn bro

[eternal fern]

no hes saying "a couple" is generally 2

[silver mirage]

u should just edit the post at this point

in the future -> couple of years

yea that sounds like 2 years

[uncut schooner]

Oh, right. I said a couple of years 🥹 my bad

[eternal fern]

mergers are a pain to deal with

merging all servers into one is the last ditch effort to not shut down

[idle flume]

thank you, it was artist!

[silver mirage]

mergers are prob never gonna happen at a large scale

[eternal fern]

thats cause doing a merger fucking sucks for both players and company

[silver mirage]

unless the game is dead af

yea

[faint pagoda]

im so sad for all the people that started again on euw because of the problems

[silver mirage]

mergers are inherently unfair

[eternal fern]

the amount of shit that can go wrong with a merger is to much of a fucking hassle

[silver mirage]

because someone is gonna win

[shy yarrow]

should have never had this server system to begin with, locking players to dead servers

[eternal fern]

there's 2 versions of the skill depending on what last tripod you take aswell

[shy yarrow]

both of them make fishy

[eternal fern]

yeh but 2 diffrent animations of fish

[idle flume]

I saw a bunch of fishy while I was at tooki so i was curious

[silver mirage]

it would be better to just copy other mmos like ffxiv

and allow people to visit other servers

[shy yarrow]

that makes too much sense

[silver mirage]

but that'll prob never happen lel

[shy yarrow]

next idea

[silver mirage]

too logical

[eternal fern]

on ff14 you cant visit a server in NA if ur playing on EU can you?

[silver mirage]

no but u can visit any server on ur data center

i don't think you'd want cross region anyway

more lag no fun

[shy yarrow]

ping/language/customs diff is a nah

but nae/naw or euc/euw, biggest fucking disappointment

[eternal fern]

euw was just a kneejerk reaction from publisher wasnt it?

[shy yarrow]

one of those things that made no sense to begin with and they went and fucked it up even more

[eternal fern]

euc servers getting fucked cause to many people on launch so they put up euw?

[shy yarrow]

panic, we need more server for more player

[uncut schooner]

Yes

[eternal fern]

yeah so kneejerk reaction

[rose jewel]

pepega reaction

[silver mirage]

yea euw is hella dead

it's like iron man lost ark

[shy yarrow]

they launched euw because they were too dumbfounded that euc was full so they said hah we will add new region to cuck players even more

[eternal fern]

dont attribute malice to a place where incompetence is far more likely

[radiant flame]

I think fundamentally AGS was (and is still) a relatively new games publisher that just didn’t understand the consequences of what they did 🤷🏻‍♂️

They probably never even discussed the possibility of a region merger with SG because they never thought one would be needed, but here we are

[eternal fern]

on a surface level it makes sense

people cant get in lets give them more servers

not thinking about the fact people dont want to switch when they already started somewhere if they dont have to

[radiant flame]

Don’t forget at the time I think there was a large number of people for EUW

[eternal fern]

classic case of players saying they want something not thinking about what it means when they get it

[radiant flame]

I think there was a (mistaken) assumption that population would equilibrate and hold steady

[shy yarrow]

given that they handled new world the way they did, fair enough. but even new world now is not as garbage as what it was according to friends who played it

[silver mirage]

prob doesn't help that amazon owns aws

so its even easier for them to set up more servers

[radiant flame]

I think at the time it was stated they literally didn’t have the capacity to have more servers on EUC (though ofc I don’t know why)

[shy yarrow]

not like people asked for a new region, they just wanted more servers or even just the option to swap to less populated servers when theirs was busy

[radiant flame]

Again, I think this was the first time they were launching something with this much demand

[timber mauve]

Yeah, new world had a lot of players but… lost ark’s launch was fucking massive.

[radiant flame]

I think it’s more that people just wanted to play without queuing for 2h

[shy yarrow]

that is another weird oddity, since euw and euc are in the same ping aint it?

[timber mauve]

10h*

[uncut schooner]

It was actually 8-10h on zinnervale and some other servers yea

[radiant flame]

Similar. Though their EUW servers do seem to be located in Ireland

While EUC is Germany

[shy yarrow]

well asking for the servers to be not busy would be asking for more servers tbh

[eternal fern]

maybe im just biased

[shy yarrow]

ah right i remember looking into this

[eternal fern]

but thats not normally where euw servers are no?

[uncut schooner]

Yup

[eternal fern]

are euw servers not normally germany/netherlands or someshit?

[uncut schooner]

Usually Frankfurt or Netherlands

Lost ark euw servers Ireland tho

[radiant flame]

Ireland has a lot of space and Amazon has a big base there

[eternal fern]

i mean im not saying its bad

just out of the ordinary

[radiant flame]

Anyway, my point is just yeah it’s an AGS fuckup but certainly not intentional. Fwiw they clearly have been trying to see if SG can help with a merger but it’s frankly probably too late

In hindsight they should have just considered the demand more. Particularly if they were using steam as a platform and open to bot abuse etc

[eternal fern]

i dont think LA launch could have ever been smooth tbh

[silver mirage]

no launches of any decent sized games can be

[rose jewel]

if anyone expects a smooth release for any mmo ever at all, they havent experienced any mmo release at all

[silver mirage]

the demand is enormous

[eternal fern]

not even the demand

you also have people just fucking with the servers on games that are hyped

[silver mirage]

and the inevitable fall off is gonna be huge

[rose jewel]

everyone, their grandmas and their dogs/cats are going to play the first few days, then 80%+ of the population will move on because "it was not their game"

[uncut schooner]

Plus measures against bots

And ban waves etc

Decreasing the player count too

[eternal fern]

people also just dont understand you dont need fucking 1m players to have a healthy mmo

[rose jewel]

hahaha, everyday i see posts on the forums saying the game is doomed just coz of that

when a lot of mmos live with like 10k players not counting bots

[eternal fern]

[rose jewel]

even if we had like 50k or so recurrent players, that's quite good ngl

[uncut schooner]

The only thing is that companies will allocate more resources into games that make more money / are more popular

That’s what ncsoft learned with the mobile games sector. They make like what 90 percent or so with mobile games nowadays so they care less about their pc gamers

There are the quarterly earnings reports visible to anyone

[eternal fern]

dont forget companies fuck with those all the time

[uncut schooner]

50k players is very healthy nonetheless

[uncut schooner]

Yes but the trend is there

[eternal fern]

sure but people dooming over a game going from like 500k peak to 100k steady are on some next level shit

[uncut schooner]

True

[wintry stump]

guys I think I got soft locked

[uncut schooner]

That development is completely normal and to be expected, especially because at release it is overhyped

[wintry stump]

im supposed to be at the Water is Life quest

but when I dock I don't have the blue quest

nvm i found it

[fallen quartz]

are some of the servers down?

[rose jewel]

what makes you think they are

[devout cape]

What should my objective be after 1445 as a noob using hyper pass? I’ve been trying to hone still but it’s taking thousands of gold and mats. Do I just continue to dump into honing and go broke or should I be looking to buy certain items like books?

[hollow scroll]

1460

vykas hm

[devout cape]

And that’s just tapping with the raw % or should I be using my solar mats and the books we got?

[uncut schooner]

You need more than one character if you don’t want to swipe

But yea 1460 is pretty important

[hollow scroll]

if the books expire there is no reason to leave them

[devout cape]

I had a deadeye at 1370 but he became unplayable after I lost my mokoko buff lol

I was going to save the books for the relic set no?

[hollow scroll]

save otherwise for the 1475-90 honing

[devout cape]

Ok perfect t

[hollow scroll]

relic set is 1:1 with legendary

[rose jewel]

unplayable.....?

[hollow scroll]

just gear transfer

[rose jewel]

are you just eating the damage in purpose instead of dodging

serious question

because DE, while squishy, is far from "unplayable" when you lose the buff

[devout cape]

I try to dodge but some stuff just feels unavoidable and I die in 3 hits va night yoho lol

[rose jewel]

you lack experience

[hollow scroll]

are you 4x3 or going in with no engravings

[devout cape]

So when I transfer my +18 chosen stuff it will be +18 nightmare?

[rose jewel]

DE should have a lot of tools for mobility

[hollow scroll]

yes

many such cases of people running yoho and eating dirt because they are not at minimum 2x3

or running grudge 1

[rose jewel]

grudge and cursed

when they are new

[devout cape]

Yeah I removed grudge 1 lol

[rose jewel]

yes grudge is very very good (3 only), and the faster you learn wo play with grudge the better

but if you're just starting, you will lack game knowledge and how the combat feels

just dont get discouraged because you die in a guardian

[hollow scroll]

its a set in stone engraving, better to use it early as possible

[rose jewel]

first, yoho is shit, and second, your class is squishy, but that's when you just keep playing and learn how to dodge

you just started with a hard to learn class

you will become better as time passes and you keep playing him

[hollow scroll]

if you’re 1370 then hone to 1415 and do chicken instead. its a lot more forgiving

[rose jewel]

birb is cool

[shy yarrow]

till no one hits the counter

[hollow scroll]

its a small map

completely skip velganoose

[shy yarrow]

playing any class before relic is not even the same class

although you dying will still happen

but relic dmg boost is insane

[hollow scroll]

i did it once for first clear and haven’t been back

[hollow scroll]

thats a skill issue

[true seal]

using selectors for LOS18 worth?

[buoyant herald]

no

could use like 1 2 max if you got wei 5

but its not worth

[true seal]

wish i had wei 5 but it hardly spawns

[near cove]

Also you could think of it more as am i looking to push for los 30 any time soon and decided

[marble vault]

I’m 1520 with 105 brel horns. Should I get a weapon or hone 2 armours for 1540?

[near cove]

if not then sure if the los 18 is a big buff for you go for it

[buoyant herald]

if you dont have wei 5 then def not worth it

just wait a few months

[silver mirage]

selectors for 18 is fucking terrible

don't do it

[minor briar]

u alr ran for the week?

u get 1530ish just from the transfers with full 6 set

[marble vault]

Yeah already ran this week for 105 horns

[minor briar]

if ur just going for ilvls, then ofc armor

[marble vault]

I can’t do g5-6 because gatekept. I took a 2.5 month break

[silver mirage]

do u want ilvl flex or do u actually want to do damage

[rose jewel]

how is it a flex if you unlock more stuff at 1540

[minor briar]

he wants to get 1540

[rose jewel]

🦗

yeah go for armors

dmg in brel (and any content at all) is not an issue

you better get as close as 1540 as possible with the least resources spent

and weapon is not the pick there

[marble vault]

Is 1540 possible with 2 armours?

I’m 1521 with 2 pieces +16 and +17

So I’ll have 4 armours total if I exchange

[rose jewel]

perfectly possible, just hone them high

but lets be honest here

if you're getting gatekept from brel normal, i dont see you running hm brel

[marble vault]

I wanted 1540 for chaos and monkey

[rose jewel]

not because you cant clear her

well

then just hone pieces

[minor briar]

1520 with 2 pieces? damn, most ppl went 1520 at 3 or 4+ pieces

[near cove]

If you want most ilvls at lowest cost your best bet is armor if you want a little poggers dmg wep it is

[minor briar]

4 pieces to high will be expensive

but cant do much about it since u had a break and no 6 set

[marble vault]

Ugh I’m so behind. Maybe I’ll just quit again lol

[near cove]

gear set conversions still exist in brel right ?

[rose jewel]

"Im so behind"

literally sitting at current endgame

[minor briar]

least fomo lost ark player

[near cove]

Not really brel is something that takes a little while so there no real thing you are behind on

[minor briar]

just take it slow lol, 99% ur not gonna get a god drop anyways

[near cove]

^^ chaos dungeon skam moments

[rose jewel]

but he wants monke

[near cove]

all hes going to get from monke is like an extra maybe 1k gold a day

[timber mauve]

What if they drop a 1M acc

[near cove]

... you really think the game is nice to us?

[rose jewel]

hes gonna fomo

[near cove]

Ability stones were just the tip of the ice berg :p

[rose jewel]

hes not gonna make it

and hes gonna leave

[near cove]

Its pretty obv xd

[rose jewel]

then come back and say "im so behind"

[near cove]

lol

[rose jewel]

repeat infinitely

[timber mauve]

Infinity game

[rose jewel]

p2w game btw, kappa

[near cove]

this is a game you mean a job right?

its a job we pay to be better at
