No you don't. You need to make sure you have the right character selected, click on the button for the power pass and select the North Vern option that you likely have to scroll left to find.
old relic was about 4.5% dmg per hone, ive heard its less with brel relic
🤷🏻♂️ I don’t see why it really matters - the exact number
As I said, saints document shows it quite well
attack power is something like sqrt(str * wp / 6) so a 4.5% weapon power increase is like 0.75% actual damage
according to some guy who did tests on reddit at least
For card sets, I have Deep Dive +12 (4% additional damage) and under the starlight (3%) I assume I should be using Deep Dive?
thanks found out how to do it
Can I completely skip rohendel by honing in my alt?
Yes
cant be the same for Yorn because I need the tier 2 gear right?
You can still buy the gear off the market, but you need to do yorn to use gems.
jup
No, it’s always been a thing.
everytime I try post an image its says its explicit even tho its not, anyone else getting this?

Was it what I suggested...?
its nothing lewd, phalic shaped or anything 
what's the default key for aura?
What do you mean?
Oh did you mean to access getting Crystalline Aura?
You can just do that through the Store as well
this
I almost forgot how hard is it to get into lobby with low roster
this game has too many gate keeps lol
do we need to have rowen done to run the new chaos dungeons?
No
how hard is it to get all the skill points from adventure tome?
are all the ones 60%+ completion obtainable within a day?
id assume the ones under 70 would be possible but what about punika since its 80%?
Is there a meaningful gain from transferring to brel relic gear from valtan vykas relic gear aside from honing reset? The set effect is the same
Is the reset not meaningful enough? 🤷🏻♂️
I expected more lol
Um. Ok.
Maybe i missed smth
I mean it quite literally lets you become stronger
^
Everything from now on just increases your damage
That’s kind of the name of the game now.
When you're transferring +20 relic gear to Brel relic its going to +12, you literally gain ilvl and also your honing success rates are better because you're not at +21 success rates
Yeah i know that but i wasnt sure that was it. Maybe different base stats and hp idk
🤷🏻♂️ I mean it has a higher base but yeah, I guess there’s nothing else special if that’s what you’re looking for
You need brel in order to transfer to ancient anyway
Just part of gear progression if you want to look at it that way
Mhmm
Its not like it isn't worth it if you're trying to determine that
Because it is...and also as RFP said you can't go to Ancient unless you get full Brel relic
what does upgrade currencies mean here?
Just be happy you get some free ilvls and better honing for a bit
The tokens to craft gear from that dungeon
so stuff like argos blood and stuff?
Yes
does someone understand how maxroll honing calculator works ?
i would like to know if the gold value is red does it mean its not worth to do it ?
turn on optimal mats instead of 100% mats and uncheck the material value box to make it simple
this question coming a year late, but what happens when i go to next phase in chaos dungeon and there is loot on the ground that i didnt pick up? do i lose the stuff like silver and shards or they are added?
yes u lose that things that u didnt pickup
alright ty
So im currently 1420 iL, in training room I get ~1.5m dps
As a di shadowhunter
Is that expected
is it me or this game have more bots than humans?
sometimes ye
trixion dps isnt really smth to use an gauge your dmg cuz its on a non moving boss that you will always have full rotations on also your 1420 so you dont have relic set yet but ig its fine
not saying its bad to use just that you should base your dmg off trixion alone
Should I hone my weapon up to +16 next or keep going armor on bard?
Yeah, parsing in this game isn’t really used. Most people use it to theory craft different builds on the same class. But it’s still wildly inaccurate compared to what a real right is like.
How much $10 usd can get me in gold ?
depends on the region
not much
What am I better spending $10 on lost ark wise? I’m 1530
look at rc exchange
ancient gear being released in the next update?

a beer?
honestly
Ok
hopefully relic accs drop in price so I can build my alts 🥹
skins , pheons, aura , coffee, handjob , blowjob 
or all at the same time
can buy 1 pheon
more expensive than a bj 
I'm waiting
Secret 






What stone do i need to make a 5x3 with only one legendary type of book?
Awesome, thanks
STORM CRY GROTTO HELP PLEASE

i hate these damn bats and slimes
Hi people, I've cleared clown G1-3 for the first time. What's the best way to spend Mayhem Horns? All the armor first and then save for weapon?
yup
yeah generally, you get to lv2 4pc much faster than doing it with weapon
Perfect! I thought as much but I thought I'd double check. My god I've got to clear more clown... 😛
havent cleared g3 yet 
I cleared clown for the first time this week 
i cleared g1 and g2 last week for the first time 
my mates are too low for g3 tho
cant carry that shi
We skipped like all of g1, maze, and m3-4.
ilvl?
I’m 1530 
It's super hard. It's like the solo players raid, especially Gate 3.

im 1500 and did 50% damage 
I did 0 dmg 
anyone able to help me get all the mokoko on stormcry grotto pretty please

No because we can’t help you.
youre more likely to find a bitcoin ingame than someone that plays on euw
was this comment at all necessary? like any bit ?
Youre on euw man we literally cant help you
right
I mean, we literally cannot help you. And also, how would we help you get mokokos?
You can just look up a guide on where they are.
back to asian server account
Some context is that EUW is an abandoned region because it was made as an overflow region when the game released for global
i know i got all the day 1 resources and mounts dont want to lose them even though im uk
Stay on there if you want. Heard it’s not as bad… but still pretty bad. I’d say the entire EUW population is equal to one or two of the 15 EUC servers.
oh ok
guess im gonna abandon this game again as its like literally so annoying dealing with that
oh sh8T my bad im EUC
haha]
dumb moment
i feel stupid

Don’t worry, I’m pretty stupid too. 
I play a game where the entire endgame is raiding but yet I don’t like raiding.
as honestly i find it dumb they dont give you a bat/slime kill counter
what
Who are you?
Wtf lmao what he do
Oh, you joined today. Anyone who’s not a regular is invisible to me.
<@&509577868846563328>
Could at least try to spell right
@minor rose my feelings hurt
Just block him
Nah, this is entertaining.
What u do this guy
Ah so ur feelings got hurt mb
is that like your 10th alt that has been banned?
Just don't engage them.
There wasn't any mocking happening
yeah same dude alright
You need help, seriously
Damn who wouldn’t be scared by that 🥺
Quaking in my boots right now.
Yeah, they’ll be back prolly. 
That's just weird.. 🙅♀️
lol wtf
move on
can someone explain to me how net fishing works
i couldnt figure out what button to push lol
?
no, when the game is active
like
i dont get it, the bar just moved and then i failed
xD
spacebar
Not hold tap tap to keep the thing in the orange bar
But excavation is a lot faster and more profitable
hi can someone help me out? i used the first pass to boost to 50 and i need to find the lost arks im at 4/7 i think i need to go to rohendel? i hit item level 370 or whatever was needed to access that land but i cant find a way to get there by boat unless im like 500 item score because of some weird ocean that requires that. do i really need 500 score or am i missing something here? im just trying to continue storyline/progress through questlines
Rohendel requires ilvl 460 to enter and do story
Or to cross to the left side of the world in general you need ivl460 don't you
Because of the funny wall
The rohendel guide quest should ideally tell you it needs ilvl 460
A sperg sperging out 
what would you recommend i do to raise my ilvl? i just dont get why to acess rohendel i need like 370 but to even get on that side of the world i need 460 lol
Hone your stuff
Question for excavation enjoyers, if you have a decent tool (not so juiced but decent) and spend 10k life energy how much materials do u get? an estimation would be nice
To access rohendel you need 460
The quest says you need 460
I don't know where you got 370 from
im not sure, im not in game but i remembered being confuse because to access the land was one ilvl but to even access that side of map was an even higher ilvl
best way to get mats for honing is just chaos dungeons?
One second
Follow this
t1 islands
also is this ur first char or second?
cuz u said u used a pass but u only get that after ur first char clears vern
and story express exists rn
Do note that island quests only work for one character
So you can do the island speedrun if you've not done it
Or if your character is in story express you should get enough stuff just from the express
it’s rng, also the mini game thing too
I think the express actually straightup gives you gear
Skips chaos dungeon at least
I understand, but I was just wondering if somebody has been excavating for a while to answer this
Just trying to see how much I could profit on my server cause the prices are gonna be different on different servers
i guess u could keep asking but there’s no life skill specific ppl ik that chat in here
Sadge
We do life skills on our second monitor nobody is keeping track
Fair point
Its just that i'm not yet level 30 on any profession and idk which one would be profitable on my server 
I've just passed lvl10 on the important ones
Thats nice
But i heard if you don't have at least one at level 30 you're missing out on some gold 
Yeah
Somebody said they make 4k a day from excavating which is honestly unbelievable so that got me interested to ask about how much mats they get on average and stuff
4k a day
I've made 4 and just bought the vern pass to boost my character to 50 but now I don't see any quests to do except for the purple ones
Thats what they said 
u get similar amounts from each gather for all the life skills
I also don't have any characters above 50 except for the one I bought a pass for
(by the way economics works this has to be true by defninition)
so i assume it’d all be similar totals in the end
Thats a fair point as well
Excavation mats are the most expensive in my server
So i'll probably go for that
u could’ve just kt’d for gold cost also, it’s just hitting 460 now
I'm sorry I'm so new to the game I have no idea what u just said. So should I be doing chaos dungeons to farm mats for honing? Or doing those random purple guide quests I have
first of all, he can't kt shit if he's new or havent cleared a continent / reached 50
I've reached 50 from the pass I think. Or close to it I'm not sure.
you realise
he’s not new
Yeah I feel like I shouldn't have bought the pass but I'm here now
he has 4 chars
Oh you actually just straightup bought a pass before you leveled anybody to 50
Yes
Incredible
you get a FREE north vern powerpass (actually 2) by completing north vern for the first time yes?
Follow this guide then
Gives you tons of honing materials
I had the mindset of I want to skip the beginning quests but idk what I'm doing then
Yes, keep doing chaos dungeons (only the daily ones don't keep doing the ones after that) and also guardian raids. If you haven't unlocked guardian raids yet you might find it in the guide quests tab
I don't know why you wouldn't just do the island speedrun
you have been leveling chars manually from 1 to 50 and losing time for no reason
Also this will give u nice materials for honing
it's first character essentially
dude
It gives so much material
he couldnt because NONE OF HIS CHARS WERE 50
so islands were totally useless to him until now
r ur other 3 chars some where pre lvl 50?
there are a lot of people speaking and he's getting confused
let just 1 person answer
ulti got this
Not really going to happen in a big discord
yes it can and will happen
Not when he's just giving a straightup worse option
he's asking
All characters except for the one I bought pass for are sub 50
he needs information
And I'm giving the information
just let him handle this
u not using story express event?
I don't know anything about this event
it helps u get to t3 way faster
Ah so how do I do that
by this point he cant
Welp
another char 
not the end of the world anyway
I mean I wouldn't mind just making another character if it's quicker in the long run 🤷
gotta admire his dedication and mental
hmm
Lmfao I like the game I'm just lost and trying to get into it with my girl but we don't know what we're doing
Has anybody actually tested if story express is faster or the island speedrun is faster
glad you came here then
Figured it might help but now I feel like I might be more confused lmfao
if u don’t know wat ur doing them island is slow
which was everyone cuz ur first char
I mean there is a step by step guide
does the islands
i do think story express plus hyper express is faster than islands + hyper express but just guessing
cuz u do get stuck a bit at high 1000’s
1370 gap is easier now though
that’s not even a thing with hyper
Basically;
Story express = Gives you a couple goodies and already enhanced/honed/upgraded equipment so you can just focus on the story, and that goes all the way to the start of the endgame, BUT you have to start literally from 0 on a new character, so its all the story all over again.
Island speedrun = Will take longer and you actually have to hone the armors you get to clear the next continents, but the island route will give you most, if not all the materials you need for that, it takes a couple days to complete jumping from island to island and doing all sort of quests.
I wanna say that, in the long run, Story express on a new char could be faster overall due to you not needing to hone any equipment at all, due to the event giving you all you need to advance, if you dont mind doing it all again (Now that we have Shift+G, a way to fast skip dialogues from quests you already cleared, it will be a lot faster for you to clear up until shushire, will save you some hours of G mashing)@haughty ravine
you two coulda just
done something like this
no offense and of course not to brag
just explain in detail, he's new and lost, everyone was there at some point
We indeed could've but typing is hard
i’m on phone, i ain’t typing all that 
just type at the speed of light, ez
thank you!
will be saving that for later
Both of these options will provide you with enough materials to hone your gear all the way up to the start of the endgame right now (ilvl 1370), provided that you only open what you need from the chests that you can select stuff from
Don't blindly open the selection chests unless you know you want that specific thing, many beginners make this mistake (especially with battle item selection chests)
whatever you need just ask whenever
I know I opened like fifty of each battle item selection chests randomly when I was new
I started to do that but then I got annoyed with all this random stuff filling up my inventory and storage so I stopped
You'll need specific battle items for basically all endgame content so just stash the chests in your storage
anyone happen to know where the best place to farm the rowen collectables would be that's not the market? 😛
can't find any real info on it like the other zones
Well even the other zones are sketchy at best. Its just mob density and its also just still RNG
it's my last ignea token, and the collectables all I need to finish
wait I was in story express the whole time
how long is regular story wtf
or does story express activeate after a certain time?
The "regular story" is the whole game
Its just in sections
regular story is the same, you just skip the farming for ilvl part
so you don't select either when making a new character? (I made my character a year ago and never ended up playing and started playing recently)
Each continent has its own story attached to it, it was all also added at different times for the most part over the games life. The western version launched with up to Punika
The Story Express is a specific event that is running right now. It has an end point where it will no longer be available
is fishing important? I haven't fished at all cuz of how rarely I stumble upon fishing spots
Its not "you choose either or" its just a special catchup event for new players, or returning ones
ohhh I see
Once the Story Express event ends new players won't be able to take advantage of it. Unless the run one immediately after this one ends but I kind of doubt that will happen
might get one for aeromancer release, no telling
Meh. Don't get that expectation
Aeromancer might drop while this one is still running
so what is story express exactly?
Exactly what I said
Its just a catchup event
Thats it
It just expedites the progress of a character up to a certain point
Its aimed mainly at new players
So they don't have to hone through T1 and T2 and can get additional rewards as a sort of springboard to their start
The things that veteran players, but also new players, would be most interested in is Hyper Express events
Like the one we have running right now as well that goes from 1340 up to 1445
oh just an event
It gives materials for honing and increased success rates
so there's not a different version fo the storyline where it's longer I see
Yeah, no. Its just an event
yeah I noticed the game gives me A LOT of stuff
same storyline, same quests, the event just gives you the stuff you need to progress through it faster.
ie, the ilvl gear.
honestly idk if that's a good thing
It is
Hence why its a "springboard"
The end rewards for it are things like silver, card packs, sailing coins, stronghold currencies, etc
Rapport gifts
Its a starting point so you can get a little starting bump to your overall Roster progress
does the welcome challenge just disappear after hitting 1445 ? i didnt do most of them yet and its just gone 
yehp
I mena if you leave for 90 days or something
They'll come back
I think? The wording is a bit confusing
I don't think leaving for 3 months is really a viable solution to that 🙂
you can finish anywhere at any level, just having a higher level in it gives perks
it says I don't have a high enough skill
and then it says that the thiong is a "fish trap"
ohh, that's a trap, that's the fishing 30 perk
welp missing legendary rapport chests and card packs are gonna hurt but whatever 
Bru
most people will only use estoque, ships arent really that useful
youre looking a bit far ahead imo
ye I figues that out
you can get away with green tools for a long time
and upgradin to all purple will only run you like 600 or something
"only" I got 80 gold haha
i got 3900 and im poor by my own standards
there isnt really anywhere to earn gold until t3 (ilvl 1300) anyways
can I just google relic locations or are they random
it’s all fixed
at least you get more mats froma single relic
dont either
any updated required mats guide?
Anyone know how long it SHOULD take for the W. Luterra barrier because ive been at it for almost 20 min
at most u buy the purple, but the others arent really worth
Solo it can take 45 minutes
gah
can anyone help?
W. Luterra barrier seeds is what i am looking for help with
Hi guys, a short video to show a trick to get through the barricade boss at zagoras mountains, which would be useful when less and less people will have to do it (you can still find a lot people doing the barricade for the moment, so the trick isn't mandatory)
This trick work on sorcerer, i didn't tried all class but i think all "teleport dash"...
10s 🙂
also when i did it, took me like 5 mins, idk if cuz someone else lowered the hp or smth
seems bs
its not, it works
wdym
well
does this count sitll or
...
seems sleezy
also seems the ONLY class not to be able to do it is mine..
whatcha mean
try the vid
i am
its a hit based barrier, not hp
after all the global buffs and stuff what are the honing rates from this ilvl to this
vid clearly shows that doesnt matter
its a memory chamber iframe thing
that was a thing?
huh...?
@fossil linden https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator
Calculate the estimated Upgrade Material and Currency Costs for Gear Honing to reach your desired Item Level with our Upgrade Calculator Tool for Lost Ark.
keep trying, also might be cuz gs anims r slow
try peacemaker
but spacebar should be enough
I think they mean gunlancer
this but in the form of this
What I linked accomplishes the same thing
eh i give up
there you have to change the shit to know
Yeah. And?
Didn't work on my Gunslinger tho.
I want alr mapped out shit
So then do it on that site, screencap it, save it to a folder
why is this island not here ?
Because it only appears at certain times and not every day
cuz it loaded too fast?
the comments said to lag ur pc
oh ok .. bcs i saw on a list that this was one of the easyest island souls to get.. thats what i got here
Oh well
limited time edition island kekw
Was so excited to finally get some relic pieces and I got 5 and 10 quality 
the usual
If you expel people from a stronghold how do you let them back in after ? (Since it bans them)
do they mean normal shadespire? or the tower on shadow island ?
The normal shadespire tower found in every major city
Im a new player trying to craft relic set
How does the buffed first clear rewards work? Does it matter if say my first clear was normal or hard? (In terms of mats for crafting the gear)
Im 1 hone away from vykas hard mode but the week is resetting so weighing my options
it will give double regardless of which you do
and its not only on first clear
but is limited to 5 characters
ELI5 , say if i do normal its 6 wings, so double is 12
But hard is 12 x2 so 24
Would it be better to wait a week and clear on hard?
well just do normal now then next wee do hard
you still need 50 colleted wings for conversion so no reason to skip on it
Actually nvm i think both route gives the same number of wings
My question was if using first clear 'buff' on normal is worth it
But i realised since theres no way im doing hard this week
Using the first clear on normal for 12 and doing hard next week for 12 is still 24 total
im confused
Compared to skipping this week and first clearing hard for 24 wings
you get 24 from hards
you dont loose the buff its there for 5 characters and you get it back after reset

@jagged pond the drop rate buff is not limited 1 time
you do hard get 24 wing next week you come back you get 24 again
there's only thing limited is the 1st time reward clear
but that chest dont have wing in there
So thats the 5 kenobi was mentioning?
yes
you have it for 5 characters and is resets every week
@shy chasm no there's no limit on character either
did they chnage it?
i did like 11-12 character legion raid
i remember it saying 5
they all have the buff rate thingy
it's a no brainer material gain
dont need to worry about anything
Also gatekeep sucks kek, cleared valtan only wiping once cus i took orbs slow
Some random pug took a chance on me
But vykas is more gatekeepy

Do i just join a guild and pray
ye should get to that now
You have the wrong character selected
I am not sure but in behind it shows you have bard selected and typing the sh name instead?
You have to have the right character selected and type out its name
O/
Is it possible to get Cube dungeon ticket from chaos after first 2 clears?
When you are getting these purification crystals?
Nope
Thank you 
whats a good spot to push my alts too?
i just hit 1475 and need to do clown
and wanted to push some alts
1445 is probably a good stopping point if you want to avoid spending gold on alt honing
alr ty!
r u sure it bans them? doesnt seem like it would
wat
u got it wrong too lol
its 5 times PER gate PER char

why does lost ark keep freezing mid game then closes randomly its getting really annoying to deal with
Ok I think I'm really stupid. I keep getting this loading screen about a skin storage system, but I can't find it anywhere. Is it ilvl locked or I'm too french to understand it ? Sorry for the baguette language.
pet menu
alt + p
not sure if u need crys aura for it
this might seem silly, but how does bussing works? so far I figured they give me a link to an auctioned item in the Marker Broker, which I search for and then buy, but when I tried it, the guy gave me a gem that the Market Broker did not find at all.
You have to select classes: all
ffs thank you !
why does lost ark keep freezing mid game then closes randomly its getting really annoying to deal with
prolly pc issue?
oh lovely, thank you
does this work cross server?
Yes market is region wide
If u join a bus, is it a given you dont have to do any mechanics? (like vykas)
whats the difference in between powerful will and powerdful faith gear?
Generally yes. There are some specific gates where you will need to help the drivers (low DPS clown g2,3; brel g5)
I don’t know what they are so I’m going to say it doesn’t matter
Sounds like lower tier gear
ty 🙂
I do recommend actually learning the raids rather than bussing. Though I appreciate it is the end of the week before reset.
just got to tier 3 and got like 50 selection chests for those dammit accesoires not gear, when I hover over them they appear to have the exact same stats so not sure which to choose
RFP is largely correct since this gear will be replaced in a couple weeks probably
but iirc you cant have 2 gear of the same name
i also remember that not being a problem but maybe it's an old feature or something
so I basically just use these chests until I get the substats I need right?
yeah those rewards were from story completion in the story express, the enravings from the hyper express are super nice
thanks for the help!
Yes this is an old feature
You can equip 2 things of the same name
Yep that’s fine. As I said you can now equip 2 things of the same name so it doesn’t matter which ring/earring you open
I did vykas before leaving the game at 1480, and now im back and i just need 13 wings to get gear conversion, and i dont feel like getting into it again without a static group xD
Im not sure if i need to keep doing Vykas after this? (cause i didnt like the raid that much)
🤷🏻♂️ up to you. I think vykas is pretty easy though, compared to later raids.
You don’t need to, but vykas hard still gives full gold, while Valtan got nerfed
Oh really? I just dont quite understand how to do it easy with randoms. Specially like the colored orbs etc..
Which orbs
There are many orb mechanics
its like orbs that come into the middle, and u need to get the right colors or else you die i think? Maybe gate2?
I’d watch a guide again as a refresher
So the 68x mech in g2?
Yeah it pulses the right colors beforehand
People call the position and a number
So 11-1 means taking the first black orb at 11 o’clock
Someone (usually the -1 person) calls out the order of black orbs
11 235 means that the 2nd, 3rd and 5th orbs are black and need to be taken
And that’s all there is to it
I will prob get back into it when i have a static group again, i dont think i have it in my to get yelled at by randoms who know the raid by heart xD
Yeah sure 🤷🏻♂️
It is a pretty comfortable pug though. And these days you barely see normal mechs with high damage
Not that ppl didnt yell in the static group either haha xD
Good luck with your lost ark return 👍
Ty! Fun so far, just stressful with all the new raids and mechs to be learned.
As a pally i really want that gear conversion cause chaos takes too long time
i feel dat
hi everyone, get a quick question
is it totally impossible to play lost ark U.S server from Asia countries?
its tottally not recommended and using a vpn is against game tos ||doesnt meant you cant do it ||

ah i see
nah ive reset my pc and it still happens
i get friend in taiwan who wants play lost ark in U.S server
it just randomly crashes on me
not sure if he can do that, so im asking for him
thanks for answering my question Tank 🛐
by the way, is this server official or fan made?
fan made
i see, thank you very much

same happens to me, most often when opening alt q menus
but i treat the game pretty haphazardly constantly alt tabbing no regard for loading etc lol so
its against tos? i thought one of the ags staff said it was fine on forums
just happens to me even when im doing nothing

ofc its up to them how much they enforce it

prolly cuz its a lot of work for not much roi 
i know kr is pretty strict about that 
yea i searched a couple articles from the Taiwanese forum
seems like a lot of them are doing that (cus they are sick of waiting for Taiwan server)
it was supposed to launch early this year
but then they ate their promise lol

Many people took like a week off work for that shit
But that went to shits real fast.
Not just tw. Many asian countries as well
Truly rip
Tw lost ark is dead on arrival
I heard china is coming out tmr
~~Thanks to china ~~
Prob dead on arrival too
not sure about that
didnt hear anything about china server
i heard they might come out in the summer
Really? I heard someone say it's coming out tmr. Not sure tho
hmmmm
But will be doa as well
yea haha
i will double check, but from the forum i use, people are guessing china will launch this summer , and maybe taiwan in the fall
( if everything runs smooth)
well if china server is launching soon
maybe i will just tell my friend to wait
I'd be surprised if they have more than 5k players at a time
so true
They necessarily have to be against it because their licence from sg is for specific regions
this long waiting is killing players
And u need a QQ account to play? It's hard to register for a QQ now
Need china bank account or some shit
Phone number? I forgot
ah
yea it sucks they used to allow vpn usage
til last year
my friend got sick of waiting, so he wants to take some risk
but if its true that china server is launching soon
I always used a VPN for lost ark
then i can just tell him to wait
Mudfish is cheap and fast
oh yea i heard people are using that from the forum
mostly hong kong and taiwan players
Barely used 3$ in like 2 months
nice
Prob my go to vpn for gaming now
well if taiwan is not launching it this year i will tell my friend to try mudfish
cool man , thanks for sharing this
yea i heard maybe one season late
after china
so if china is in summer
then taiwan will be in fall
hello i had a question wondering when should i begin making alts and knowledge transfering? my main is almost done with rohendel and i kinda wanna start making alts and knowledge transferring them, but im wondering if it is too soon.(sorry if this is a lot)
I would play until Punika and then use the Punika powerpass for an alt
that will bring the character up to itemlvl 1340
You can make alts at any time but as the guy above said, right now there’s a punika pass which boosts your first alt past your main
I’d just balance what you want to do/how much time you want to play/whether you have a specific class you want to play etc
Alts do consume time
But are very helpful in the long term
ah ok thank you guys i appreciate it, yea i had a lot of gold laying around from when i first played so i was wondering if i should invest it into some alts but worried it was too early, For now I will just save my gold and beat punika then proceed to knowledge transfer a couple alts
knowledge transfer is only for quest progression right? the whole item level I still have to do regardless?
Hi there. I understood cross-zone transfers are not available, but can I move my roster from a realm to another? (both EUC) Thanks
no u can't
Thank you!
Does guild level matter much (above 10) if you dont do guild content? Or will even more stuff unlock in the shop to buy?
Im asking cause a friend is in a lvl 12 guild that is dead.
higher level guild quests are nice but nothing much
lvl 5 shop is all you really ever need
So i wouldnt lose out on leaving my lvl 17 guild (who i dont play with) to be in his lvl 12 guild? It would only be us and our alts grinding daily/weekly..
to take gear from 1302 to 1310, do you need to hone it or can you get gear another way?
check if the shop is lvl 5 and it depens on how active you two are how many bloodpoints you get out
hone
thanks!
Being in an active guild is still nice though - just for having people to raid with etc
Yeah i agree, so we are "windowshopping" for a new guild, but both of our are currently dead all tho mine still do daily stuff :p
if its just the 2 of you and you both play actively you can get like 5k bloodstones a week from the bonus 
so no issues there
but i'd still look to join a big guild for raids and stuff
can you still get cards from guardian if u dont collect soul?
or is it jsut from collectiong souls?
never paid attention to that
if you wanna know see if you get it from the kill or when collecting the soul next time you drop one

does doing Rowen unlock anything important yet
Some structures have 2 types, like type A and type B, can i use both on the same time?
It doesn't it's just optional but nice if you need xp
No, from soul
good to know
Omnium star from the field boss is probably the most important collectible in rowen
true true, i haven't gottent he one from moake yet btu when i will i'll deffo unlock that one
Hey. For someone who has his characters at 1460 (returning player, pushing new alts to 1445/1460 too before continuing to push old chars), should I do shards or leapstones dailies?
I think leaps are still fine 🤷🏻♂️ if anything because shard dailies are a pain to do
If you do chaos daily you shouldn’t really run into shard problems yet
With all these fail attempts I suppose chaos dung is more than enough
Shards are only really a gate if you are pushing very quickly and to very high ilvl (stuff like pushing pre brel relic post 20, pushing ancient to post 20)
Of course optimally for economy, just do what your character lacks/ is worth more, but as I said, for sanity I wouldn’t want to do shard dailies because they just take way longer
are there any main card sets to track outside of LoS, LWC, You have a plan, deep dive,
Not really
We’ll meet again and forest of giants are defensive card sets which gets used but they really shouldn’t be any more given what else is available
Those aren't necessary to awaken right, cause i have the base set
Not really sure what you mean. Apart from HP set and Witcher set all the important sets need awakening to reach their max potential
forest and we'll ,meet again im referring to
Yes they need awakening too for them to be useful
Though as I said, you shouldn’t be using them
what causes the glow effect on pets?
I do rested chaos dungeons, dunno if that's enough
I wouldnt rest chaos
doesnt rest bonus mean you dont have to do stuff daily
Upgrading them to legendary through the pet farm gives you the glow
I don't have the playtime for more
It's either that or skip legion raids
And I prefer doing legion raids
I usually do una's daily, chaos rested, then legion raids
are there any of the dailies that are superior to do rested
rest bonus is per activity isnt it?
Yes
So it’s obviously up to you
But chaos dungeon is the most efficient activity in the entire game
More than una's?
why does it matter to do it daily if u have rest bonus
Cause it takes a min to do them so I don't mind
Rest only gives you back half
I can do them while I'm getting a group for a legion raid
i thought rest bonus was double rewards
Yes but you only build 1 rest from not doing 2
No, it's 50% more rewards
Cause you lose 2 runs and only buff 1 run
oh so it takes 2 days to get rest for 1 run
Yes
But yeah chaos dungeon is just good
I wouldn’t rest them on a main
Rest them on alts if you must
Where can I find the value of chaos dungeons per tier?
There’s some values in #info-dump for the newest tiers
And zeals just published a video which shows rewards for the upper tiers we get this patch
Anyway tldr - definitely don’t think about doing shard unas if you’re not even doing daily chaos
The time it takes for you to do shard una you could have finished a chaos dungeon if not both of them
Being boring is a big factor there though
Unas aren’t boring? 😂
Again
As I said it’s up to you. I find chaos reasonably relaxing and you don’t even have to look
I can do una's while waiting for the group to fill for legion raids
Ultimately you are gimping your own progress by not doing chaos daily. I highly recommend doing chaos daily on your main even if you rest others
Sure of course it is
I like being efficient, that's why I'd like to know what una's to go for
But I'm not gimping all my fun of doing legion raids just to spam 12 chaos a day
Sure that’s your choice
Heck, how am I even gonna get relic gear without doing the raids
But objectively chaos dungeon is the most efficient content in the entire game for material progression value
Yes of course you need to do raids to get gear 🤷🏻♂️
Im not saying you shouldn’t raid. Im just telling you the facts lol
I appreciate it, thank you
But I'm not looking to change my playstyle atm. I just wanted to know what una's are better to do while I'm waiting for legion raid groups if I'm doing chaos rested, just that :p
I’d still do leaps 🤷🏻♂️ unless you are really short of shards
As I said you shouldn’t be shard gated if you’re progressing at a normal pace
I know that with a smaller playtime I should just be playing 1 or 2 chars, it'd be more efficient to una and legion raid them daily instead of spreading my time amongst 6
But it wouldn't be as fun for me
just do 1-2 chars a day and do rested
And chaos*
still more stuff
I do rested chaos, yes. Rested chaos + legion raids and una's while searching for legion raid groups
Across 6 chars during the week
Unless that's not what you meant
it is
is the pet inventory upgrade roster / character or pet bound?
roster
Must be pet/roster bound - would kind of make no sense otherwise
ty
Oh it’s for all pets? That’s pretty nice
yeah
how did you guys learn vykas raid? i barely learned how valtan works and now im totally lost in vykas guides
vykas seems to be as twice more complicated than valtan
watching guides many times and wiping a lot in G3
find a learning group and go at it
vykas is incredibly straight forward once you really watch a guide
took us like 8h to clear vykas first time
i dont have the heart to (possibly) jail ppl i play with
think it took my group like 2 hours 
learning parties, people will happily wipe with you 
should definitely seek additional communities outside of the game
to put together learning parties
first time vykas hard ?
damn
some parties take longer now XD
may i ask how exactly does the black/red orb mechanic work in g2 or g3 i dont remember
rip so i think i just found out master of spears doesnt work if party isnt using kazeros set huh? im assuming the 2.5% does not work so the only set that u would use as a support is lwc and the new 'you have a plan'?
well ofc mos is only for supps when party is using the dark set and lwc is for parties who use los 
master of spears sorta works for db
who has tripods on a bunch of skills to make it dark

it's in G2, and you can probably learn the theory by watching a guide about G2
no it doesnt since you do damage mostly off surge and blitz withch is 2nd top skill also doesnt use dark damage tripod
im watching ATK's guide
its pretty straightforward
you see 5 pulses that are either red or black
and then the clones spit out orbs in the same order
you have to intercept black ones
2 clones will do 3 black 1 will do 2
do you have to do g1-3 in one party run if you don’t wanna be fucked
G1 seems incredibly straight forward but the other two a bit more complicated
damn
no its not 
just roll demon party don’t have to do any mechs (from reading text guide that’s what it loooed like)
yeah just stoopid
you do once you swap 😄
Lol I missed that there was a swap. That makes a lot more sense
at 30 bars both parties swap spots
rng into just not having to do mecha would be funny (but stupid) af
party that starts on demon doesnt have to do gates
but that one is easy
tho ppl do seem to struggle with it
beats me
maybe 90% are colorblind
that does seem likely
From doing valtan so far, so maybe I’m off base, but it feels like more could be done with ground marking on the arena terrain + shadows, the perspective can be rough sometimes
from which mech
i think it's all pretty clear
it might depend on your group tho
fucking artist and her SHITTY PAINT
actually griefing my ability to see aoes
Like the valtan arena is just a grassy terrain, I don’t really mean the like damage markers
For example during orbs if there was a pattern or texture on the ground it would be easier to visualize where to stand as a group
idk its good enough for me
then again i played a game
where this was acceptable
it's not acceptable btw it's basically invisible to me
that's what i did
i have issues differentiating yellows
but what if the safety dorito trolls me
because he's a fucking tank


Is that from ff14
Is scorn a good bracelet stat? It says +3% damage to challenger foes at or below lvl 60? Is it a flat 3% damage bonus or something?
yea it's kefka
Because I was going to bring up the point there, they do what im@talking about very well (sometimes makes it too obvious)
Their color choices now that’s a different beast lol
Why make the ground yellow bro that shit is fucked up
are there any particularly useful classes that would be worth it to start playing? I took a break for a ~year and would like to start again but not sure how much has changed with balance
what u mean
like support?
or a specific dps?
destroyer is big poggers
very desirable
arcana is straight busted if u got braincells
Supports are still valuable but for now early-mid t3 content has enough supps
nah supps r over
its dps land at brel now
everyone and their mom has an artist
might change a little with brel hard
since 1560 is a pretty high bar for arists
i think it's generally agreed that mages are all very poggers
destroyer has a very complete package for legion raids that is desirable
surge is still poggers
well eg for dps, are sorc/db/arti ’top’ anymore or has there been changes to most useful dps’s
Ahh alr
i mean the output of your class depends on your skill imo, whichever class you play, you can outdps the 'good' one, if you are good enough
therefore, any class is competent
so play what you feel appealing to your playstyle
right so same as before then, sort of
but nothing new thats ”game breaking” like sorc used to be long time ago?
if you really want to, you can check the KR dps tier lists
igniter is still igniter
basically deathblade/arcana/sorc are top tier dps's
but arcana generally is a bigger pog
if you are really into those min/max numbers
it just requires more braincells
yes
is summoner any good?
yeah
I want to build a arcana really bad but my last slot has gotta go to aero…
just buy character slots 
Maybe I’ll swap out my SF for it down the line but yeah
I will for that, but I don’t want to Actually Play 7-8 char’s you know lol
just play whatever u have mood for
its 3 relic or 15 legendary rapport items for nia skip isnt it?
i have a ton of engraving bags ive been hoarding since i started playing, before artist came out, will those bags have class engravings for artist?
I guess it depends but yes
With how many duplicates this games has I wouldn't be surprised if some did not have it
But these I have in my storage include artist
nice
does move speed affect casting animation speed? it feels like it does whenver i get a movespeed buff
Yep, from 3100 points in friendly 1
Affects all atk skills animations as well as cooldowns and movement speed
question: in order to use auction house in game do I really have to wait 30 days after buying steam credits?
movespeed buff seems quiet strong then
Apparently turning on steam guard through phone may work
Also, I’m pretty sure you have to actually use the balance in your steam wallet on something. Rather certain simply topping up won’t work.
is the spacebar dash affected by attack speed?
Yes cooldown and animation
Well if u mean swiftness actually or just straight up atk speed
