I experienced my fair share in WoW. It’s just something to get used to. I haven’t found a guild/ppl to play with yet. Just been solo so far.
just hoping the game isn't barren in early content to the point where it's impossible to make learning groups
I’m running into that problem now.
i was in a learning group 2 days ago, helped them do vykas, it lasted 5 hours
was tough
but we made it at the end
Although yesterday I did clown practice and kinda enjoyed the learning process. We didn’t get pass the maze though since it was matchmaking and no discord.
wtf why are there no lobbies for abyss hard mode carries ? when i last played there were a ton of then
it was a nice practice
it really doesn't bother me at all ngl
i pity that they had to make it this way, since newbies kept joining homework and ruining it
i'm just hoping there's a way to actually get around it as a new player, so you can progress
weird time ig
especially since over time as the playerbase progresses early content will naturally barren out and only have reclears
i know people not having the courage to take initiative and work to make their own learning party rather than having others do the work contributes to perceived lack of parties a lot
i'm just wondering if the game is at the point where even if you made an early content learning party no one joins because they've all moved on
for me it's less about being gatekept and more of "are there actually people around with whom i can play with to progress"
Same.
What is exactly gatekeeping???
If they don't see you qualify in their eyes your not in
They'll deny u
Which happens to people even on proper lvl and build
Some people do it for guildmates others do it for synergies
Some are just assholes
Alot of reasons for gatekeep
i'm just thinking if there's no one around to actually learn fundamentals and you have to bus for everything i'd rather just not play and move on
saves the other players the effort of having to deal with yet another coattail rider as well.
that's just my question at this point tbh
just wondering if there's enough people around to still progress
even for turbonewbie stuff like argos?
Abyss raids maybe not so much
Possible but idk
But legions people teach and do learning parties often
Argos is a glorified punching bag 
But thing with agros is unless your in a 1415 lobby you won't see most mechs
So you don't ever learn the full raid
any mechs*
people over there skipping clown like fuck argos 
though i doubt it's possible to get in argos in the first place with 1370 or even 1400 though
and afaik gl getting more than like 1415 without actually clearing argos
theres free carrys 
Yeah it is tough but if you make a lobby maybe people will join
When I do argos I always let atleast 3 newbies in
Just depends on time and the person tbh
time to cope ig
plottwist: youre bussing

i just tend to avoid bussing because it builds bad habits ngl
And when I did I'd do 3 free 3 non free
but it kinda feels unavoidable
bussing or taking the bus 
But if you do one to see the raid its not bad
if u do it to like
get past argos cus its a dead raid
then its fine?
is this ok
Yea
oh god
what
Depends on ur ilvl and class

If ur pre 1415 don't worry about it
what?

Yes
If it helps u progress
And if you keep a eye on what they are doing
You learn
ilvl?
just equip your class engraving twice
on this char its 1340
ohhh
then it doesnt matter
When I was learning raids I did bus for argos and valtan
And learned it from that
same engraving

iirc as you were saying for argos no one even does that raid seriously anymore tho
thanksss
Yeah
just punching bag
i kinda wanna bus argos 


does it still have prog essential gear behind it though

but then i also kinda wanna bus valtan but my frens are 
Argos gear allows you to push higher yes
But mass increase is good?
it's only good at level 3 on classes with a lot of attack speed/swiftness
o ok
ty
isn't that also an abyss raid so its also dead by consequence
Um kinda it's more dead cause not alot of newer players
so i guess the approach is just to get past the dead content quickly via friendlies/bus/whatever and then start making learning groups in later content where people are still trickling in?
It's just veterans and some newer
yeah that's what i meant
since it's newbie raid
Yeah bus argos like one or two times unless u can find a carry
How is the hammer bro in this game?
Then after that learn Valtan and so far on
yeah that's cool
Destroyer is super cool imo
Spirit Absoprtion increases both movement speed and atk speed?
valtan isnt too dead right?
If you were on west I'd help but ur east 
Na valtan is always going to be alive
I think
oh i thought youre on euw
i mean i could always just make an acc on west

I don't ever see a point where it's deadge
i'm actually nawest in reality but nawest servers just seem dead in all games i come across

since it's like 1:5 population distribution
Na west is lively
Shouldnt be not that big difference of any america region??
in ping
East has a bit more players
But west isn't dead at all
Never had problems finding raids

If I can get ppl to play with shoot I’ll go to west too
Yeah
I can't promise I'll be helpful 24/7

But I'll definitely be down help with some content and stuff
General questions
And just to play with I'd love to have more friends 
come to euc 
For T1, is it still recommedned to reach i600 and then convert to T2?
I would but getting runes and skill points 
is it possible to reroll stone
i mean, thats the only way
how
but you should be on story express
T1 600>T2 the 1100>T3
which means you do not need to worry about honing
yes. it's called buying a new stone
otherwise no
its alt already lvl 50, and i really dont want to do story again
you will save more time doing story express
trust me
and the rewards are pretty good
level 50 is nothing
i fuked up and used express and then first pass to 50, so i lost some rewards, but dont know how big the loss is : (
oh
🤷🏾 lol any help is good help. Solo is fun for a bit but gets boring quick. When your usual play time? And what server?
I play on bergstrom and I play a decent amount but hours varies
But you don't have to been on same server for end game content
Just same region
how is different earrings with 60 quality and 98?
you can see yourself...
40-50 stat
Bet I’ll make a destroyer or paladin. I’m really interested in the two
looking at the wrong stats bud
idk, look at the numbers maybe
all the numbers
reading is important in this game
I played support/dps pally in WoW. Interested to see differences in support.
i think support in this game is unlike support in any other mmo ive played
ohhh ok cuz i seem to skip lots of things
you are there purely as as attack buff machine
with some DR and shields
heals are very very secondary
dps are expected to try dodge most normal patterns
if you heal you are losing attack buff, for the most part
Oh that’s different. Something new I see.
paladin kind of does both and is okay, but you also trade heal for optimal dps windows sometimes
Yes supports are actual supports
your dps contribution through buff/debuffs is more than a dps
that's the main reason you exist
otherwise speedclear parties would be 4 dps
Game doesn't have global tchat to ask questions and help?
anyone free to help me with yorn abyss dungeons?
no, not really, closest is area chat
area chat takes the entire continent or the entire sea if you're sailing
that's it
Well i decided to give it a shot despite clearly not being my type of game aka Diablo Poe and such but really like it at least with controller but damn is the game absolutely not friendly for new player
Yeah it's kinda tough starting out
But thats most mmos ngl
But aleast if you reach out and ask for help it'll be a bit easier
This game has a lot of stuff that kinda jumps at you, my advice is to take it one session at a time no need to rush
That's what i have been doing but i can see many people give a shot and not coming back after first session way too many things to check learn understand
what happens if you play this game 1 day per week?
can you still good progress?
but one day 12 hours per day
I'd split that into 2 hours daily
Or less
1 hour
Or like 1 hour a day and like 6 one day
there’s a difference of a long gaming day vs spread out shorter days
YESS cuz you can do daily stuff
Yeah one ong day 4-6 hours to do some raids and 1-2 each day for dailies
Can even be every other day with rested
As I tell My friends
2 hours every other day will be fine tbh
10-20 hours weekly will be totally fine
It'll be slow progress but still works out
i mean, compared to poe, it's less to learn imo
What work for me was give a try 3days ago for few hours but got overwhelmed by all the thingy in UI and mechanics and logout, then back to it next day for few more didn't want to give up on bad impression still got overwhelmed but was bit better
Take your time and enjoy the game and don't worry about fomo
theres a degree of learning in all rpgs, not just mmo
True
i've played poe since beta but missed a few leagues and honestly still have no clue about how stuff like betrayal works lol, or all the different crafting options
anyway o/t but just wanted to point out that lost ark isn't unique in having a steep learning curve
Feel more comfortable today but would say I'm 50% lost and just Wing it
sure. and in a single player game like poe/diablo you can wing it and it doesnt matter. there is for sure more of an onus for you to follow a meta in an mmo, but that's more to do with the genre
and just the fact that you are playing with other people who have some expectations
My hammer bro journey starts
tell ya something
took me weeks to even know what the fak i was doing in the game
dont expect to absorb every little thing the game has to offer in days
still dont know what im doing 😄
and that's ok, i had fun getting lost and just yoloing things
How to get more Runes???
maxroll rune collection guide
back when game started we had a lot more time to learn due to progress being soooooooo slow
it was both a bad and a good thing
bad because early tiers suckkkkkkk, good because we had time to sponge things
nowadays, i would recommend getting into a small community (doesnt need to be a guild, important stuff is region wide) so you can get a bit more help and people could help you with a raid or two
you can also ask here whenever
of course, some things we would send you directly to a guide, but because its better and faster
Definitely feel more like single player hack n slash with coop multi for boss raid dungeon than mmo but that's how mmo have been for many years now

i mean the coop raiding is what 99% of the game development is aimed at
kind of why the single player content is so barebones
the game is The Raids
Eso ffxiv BDO guildwars All single player with online features
i would argue ff14
but i didnt play it much
at least it has more horizontal things you can do
gw2 is much more open world
i think
and gw2 combat is so smoge in comparison to loa, imo
me trying ffxiv rn :p fun
regardless - lost ark is just focussed on raiding, and difficult raids
it's up to you if that is something you will ultimately enjoy
Did play for 2years FF can do entire game Solo same for guildwars and BDO and eso now for raid and highest difficulty dungeon trials sure need group but it's optional
does the number of weekly una's token increase when you get your ilvl up?
yes
didnt you need to party up to clear some story dungeons to advance on the msq
i also had to get into some dungeons yes or yes coz i got stuck on combat level
not enuf lvs to continue msq
which is not a bad thing
i also remember having to party into the ... 16man dungeon? or smt
guess ill use this event boost on destroyer
they changed it so u can do the dungeons with npc teammates now

oh
much slower tho
thats lame
someone random i was with yesterday in a dungeon spent a buncha time explained all the mechs to me after it was over :p they r nice
the community is nice yeh, but anyway back to loa topic before we get modded @.@
fite me mods
Yeah FFXIV commu is best I've experienced since my first MMORPG back in 2006
i mean
bit difficult to do that
yeah even in ff theres those ppl, but they do try their best to reduce it
ive seen stories
im probs going to go back to FF soon the community actually so nice ;p
the problem for loa is basically
she tells me she has had some bad encounters
you have so many thing to do
not much time
so more difficult to be nice in raids and help new players cuz u need ur clears quickly
once lost ark removes wipe mechanics I think people would help new players more
but who knows
i am extremely toxic in la
once lost ark lessens the hw contents mby~
so yeah
LA is hyper focused on raids
and the raids are good
if you like raids, LA is for you
as a new player in loa still (atleast i think i still consider myself as one) ive seen ppl who join my friend’s raids asking almost every time if i know mech and honestly some wanted me gone
just cuz low roster is huge @.@
just say yeah tbh
yep
if you already cleared
no reason to say no
ive seen people with 200+ roster fail more than people with 100-
i mean
so next time ask them "and you? dont jail me"
i obviously say yes but they keep doubting
please stop. both those engravings are pretty bad
They are like best
of all i checked
please
nah
ok
and then i get cruel fighter cruel annihilator master counterpuncher, mvp the raid, never died once
they died 50 bars in

they are overpowered and the only ones that do useful
enjoy getting gatekept i guess
stuff
what does gatekept mean lol
or cursed doll
he is spitting
facts
just
to combo

just let him be
ok~
i gave up on him long ago
But grudge is only on boss
@rose jewelwhy
as long as u got 7 other ppl to play with u who dont mind what u build
then go ahead and do wha u want lol
i think the denial to use a guide might be an indicator
of what
besides many other things
indicator of what lol
@paper rose wha class r u playin?
is gold roster wide?
secret
yes
Cuz you will say more bad things
same for silver
i dont really mind helping~ if you seek it
unless u ask about a class i have no idea about ;-;
i main bird lover
artist is second yeh
but what u need to know abt the classV
im not running optimal artist
nothing, its not out yet ;D
ye
icic
she may be my 6th gold earner
that's on my daily list
yeye
i dont think i should be spreading all these scarecrow techs tho~ if they know they know
female sharpshooter when
female paladin
@.@
been a tank/sup user most of my life
but of course i prefer female chars
was sad when i saw paly being only male
what does gatekept mean pls tell
Male katana user when ;p
Is it better now? 🥺
i still not finished
putting all to 3lvl
dont you have the express pass engravings
what class is that
go read the class guide 
Is there a way to change LA time? I wanted it synced with my PC
so whats the class of the current chara here @paper rose ? is it also reaper
then which class engraving do ya wanna play
i meant of this char
this char with screenshots is repear
o so its reaper
yes
wha class engraving do u wanna play?
each class has 2 class engravings
which pretty much defines your class’ playstyle~
can i not use it
i mean
u can like not use it if ur in proving grounds i guess
but thats cuz engravings arent allowed there~
oh
sorry bud you’ve been missing out on the most op engraving in the game
your class engraving
How do you keep the default skin? When you equip gear you look like trash but removing my gunslinger gear show a very nice skin
p to open char scren, eye icon next to certain gear
u can hide some pieces yeah
not all tho
you learn to like the actual skins you can get in the game
my only chara with a decent outfit is my artist
im still trying to get my ss suited up but
Well can't hide torso glove pauldron shoes which hide the default skin
Or just get naked
nuh uh
Bikini op
but yeah i gotta finish honing him to 1-6 and then i’ll look for outfits~
I meant removing chest shoulder glove shoes and looks 👍
hi3 logic.. 
yo uh what was the tip about 1500 honing? like when u reach 1490 u hone something then uh gear transfer, something like that i forgor
i told myself for this week I was not gonna touch any vertical progression and just buy like 7 skins or something
it works
the default one for ss is meh
skins arent that affordable tho wot :O
you do brel 1-2 and gear transfer into the new piece
im 1460 
what
What
how do i use una instant complete tix
Open una window
oh yeah 1490 just do brel and make brel pieces then hone those
alt+j choose quest>accept>complete
Push complete
I bet that gunslinger default skin ain't on shop
people will literally not let you play with them in endgame raids if you build your character badly
dont work
which gear should i do it with? weap?
ur out of unas quest. only 3 a day
Need to have completed the una at least once before
u can use the +1
gloves
thanks
have 2 left and i just did it normally
BRo i dont even want to play with people
wth
i will do anything i can solo
then uh u need to have completed the quest before
i literally just did it
ok, then i guess enjoy the game up until 1370 because thats where the game will stop
screenshot? not that i dont believe you,, but idk maybe u run out of autocomplete tickets
ok
so everything is in parties from 1370???
trashhh
you can. you wont clear
sure
:)
Also, next time throw us the whole screen
Some things are sometimes needed to check on the ui
figured it out ty
tell me a build
then
plz
kekw
Literally anything that is explained in a community guide
Did I see you play reaper
Then follow this
Is striker any good btw? I love the martial arts playstyle.
Yes. Very good. But needs a decent amount of investment to set up
You also need a good amount of horizontal progression for it to not feel clunky to play
It’s just one of those classes that builds some meter and spends it for damage
Which means you need a lot of spec and wealth runes (so that you build meter quicker)
Hmm I don’t mind the meter build up. I feel like most classes need a lot of investment in this game so that doesn’t bother me either
Also male class 🙈
Exchange at chaos dungeon npc.
is it like a free tripod upgrade?
well its the only tripod upgrade really
tripods have levels lvl 2 is free, 3 is free with powder of sage, 4 is 50% with sage 25 without and 5 is 10 without 20 with
ah so extra ranks into the tripod but u need the powder
ye
thanks 😄
Does the maxroll honing calc reflect recent honing changes, or do I need to factor that in manually?
it’s updated
ehm is t1 tower floor 48 bugged ?
how tf am i supposed to defeat monsters while i cant auto attack or use abilities
i also cant dash
Use panacea then ult boss
stat increase potions obtained are roster wide right?
Can someone answer me on a few questions
or use a damage grenade that works too
I m kind lost in those quests
ask the question instead of asking to ask 
Um when i m gettin the quest She waits he leaves
The one that will let me play abysal dungeon
Keep doing the main story quest line (blue quests) until you're done with North Vern
you can also just use grenades only need to kill one enemy with it if I remember correctly
the one that spawns in the middle
first
Like accs?
I need some advice, I have my reaper at 1540, but I’m waiting for aero because I’m gonna main that, do I hone my reaper to do hard Brel or just hoard mats for aero?
Only thing you can reroll stats on is quality of gear and braclets 
combat stat
how many more weeks is the grand prix shop?
the shop resets weekly
if its on accs no
also
yeah but for how much longer?
for saydon. can you queue for both rehearsal and normal in the same week or does it lock you out
hey guys kinda new here, what stats should paladin focus on?
Here
oh thanks alot
can I check what is average artisan energy for each honing level with honing calculator? or maybe there is a table that list average artisan energy for honing?
is there a wiki for the honing odds?
Artisan's Energy formula:
Each failed honing attempt on the same gear grants (total honing rate × 0.465) Artisan's Energy, this includes rate-up materials (e.g. failing a 70% honing grants 32.55% Artisan's Energy).
- Practice and Normal/Hard Modes share a weekly lockout per character. A character that clears Practice Mode first will not be able to do Normal/Hard Mode that week. Each Practice Mode can be done once per roster per week.
- Once a player has completed Normal/Hard Mode in a given week they can no longer clear Pratice Mode that week on any character.
that would require me to know the honing rates
+25 has rate 0.5%, first time you fail it goes up but 0.5% to 1%? and how far does it go?
Where can i find a party to run maps with?
https://lostark.fandom.com/wiki/Honing
- Each failed honing attempt on the same gear increase the honing rate by 10% of the base honing rate, not including rate-up materials (e.g. failing a 30% honing increases the rate to 33% for the next attempt, and failing again increases it to 36%).
- This can increase the base honing rate by up to double its original value (e.g. 5% honing can go up to 10% maximum after multiple fails).
Somewhere on your server. Normally around the general area after a chaos gate appears.
10% from 0.5% makes next 0.55%?
where can I see max honing rate for +25 weapon? 10% is max?
I got a Question regarding Hanumatan
Is there a way to tell once he grabs someone whether it will be a stagger check or a counter? Is it phase specific?
Kinda having trouble with that one cause I keep thinking it's one and then it's the other.
if he grabs in the last phase its stagger and before its counter cuz i remember in the last phase he doesnt let go of the player(s) till stagger is over or they die
should i push another alt to 1490 and get 5x3 or should i push my other alt to 1500 just pushed it to 1490 this week
just to add, i dont think there is a grab mech which is a counter
if you get actually grabbed it's in the final phase and it's stagger
and he can grab multiple people
feel like this is entirely up to you. pushing to 1490 will probably be good because you can start doing brel, but it depends on you getting into a brel party
1500 is sort of meh - opens up 3/4 but not much else
I have to look at the fight again then, phase 3 grab will always be stagger as far as I thought but he can grab people in P2 (Just not multiple I guess) which ends with a counter
I think at least
p2? i don't think theres a grab mech? idk, maybe you can timestamp the atk guide if you think there is one
p2 is just spirit bomb, before counter, and phase end is stagger with lines, then counter
so is there like a list of servers that are populated
legit been waiting for 10 min to find any group anywhere
matchmaking content is region-wide, and there is basically nobody playing in any server or region below ilvl1300
Okay so if you read the page I've sent, maybe you would have figured it out..
+25 is 0.5% base
so it goes up to 1% after 10 fails
with rate-up (solar) mats it can go to 1.5% chance
aight
There iss tho
i often find people below ilvl1300
there is even at 320 or smth
or 340 i forgot
if base is 0.5% and you get +10% of the base odds every fail then next is 0.55% then 0.6% and so on, but what is max odds? and what is max honing odds for +20?
at start matchmaking extremely helpful if u want resources fast cuz 1500 ilvl guys join and one tap the boss
never mind the double of starting base 0.5% max is 1% and 3% base is 6% max, thank you
max odds is triple, with full juice
its instead of the spirit bomb i think, his eyes glow, into roar into grab into counter for weakpoint instead of spirit bomb, if u miss it, u just do the elemental 5 punchs into counter
I am doing math without juice as not to complicate it even more
then it's double
im not sure why it's complicated
there was big discussion about what is average, many claimed that 50% artisan energy is average, but I did some math and it is not even close, not even with full juice
it is
you gain artisan at just under half your chance
so idk why you think "it's not even close"
you can check on maxroll under average
i think you are mathsing wrong
if 1000000 people hone item to +20, more than half of them go full 100% if they don't use any juice, and I can't figure out how many if they go full juice, my guess more than half
what is this maths
you understand probability right
you are completely guessing that "more than half of them go to full artisan"
from first principles, given that you gain artisan energy at just under half your hone chance, 50% is about average
45% isn't it?
yes, that sounds about right
46.5% to be exact 🤓
50% is probably just over average
if you don't believe the maths, you are only lying to yourself i guess. but fundamentally it doesn't change the fact that you have to still hone like the rest of us bozos
artisan energy is getting added, odds are multiplied you can get to 100% artisan energy faster with juice also that improves your success rates, but without juice +24/+25 hone is 200 taps average, well over 100% artisan
if you use juice you get more artisan
that is what I said
i'm sorry but why are you refusing to believe maths
what exactly I am refusing to believe?
how did you come to this answer?
read this
I asked chatgpt this question "if event has 0,5% chance to happen and if failed next try odds will be 10% high of the previous try up to maximum of 1%, every time event fails a number is calculated as odds success for this even multiplied by 0.465, for every failed event these numbers are summed up, how what is minimal number of failed events would it take for this sum to be bigger than 1?"
what do you think it said?
??
why are you asking chatgpt
when this is a maths question
that you can work out using maths
maybe work it out using 50% chance of success
and see if you come to a sensible answer
oh wait, it seems like you get to 50% artisan after about 2 taps
funny
because that's probably around the average
50%*0.465=23,25% artisan energy, fail twice and you have 46,5% artisan
but if odds are lower than artisan would be also lower, and if higher artisan would also be higher
you multiply odds, and then add the artisan, but for odds you keep multiplying
Which ship should I try to get and stick with? I got 30 of these, but Idk what ship is the best yet
estoque
is your best all rounder ship until you want to spend your life getting astray
which i don't recommend doing
long shot asking a question like this, but: I heard Zeals say you can get 2 boss rush tickets per week per character from chaos dungeons, is there a way for me to tell if my alts have already received 2 before reset so I can stop doing them before the next reset? Assuming you'd have to keep track of it outside of the game
the 2 weekly quests for boss rush would work but I already burn those from tickets I get from the bloodstone vendor
Okay, thank you so much <3
im confused - you want to stop doing chaos dungeon?
yep, on alts
i don't really recommend that
trying to find ways to consolidate and play the game less
maybe I don't understand something, can you use maxroll honing calculator to figure out how many taps **average **no juice is +24 to +25?
guys what are these for?
then just do stuff rested, or dont play them at all
the items w house icon
boss rush will also consume time
but no, no real way
there is a "pity" system for boss rush but
that's what I was thinking just wanted another perspective ty
i dont think anyone actually knows how it works
i've certainly not seen a sure answer for it
and if you want to reduce time, i dont think its worth trying to look for the answer
yeah I'd have to use a spreadsheet or something, probably not worth it
on my alts i have mountains of boss rush tickets
because running them is too much
so yeah, id say if you're short on time, you wont even run them ever lol
i get like 20k from selling the gems from boss rush from the ones i get from the bloodstone vendor alone
They replenish stronghold energy
@radiant flame for average to be 50% artisan, artisan energy would have to be odds multiplied by 0.5, not 0.465 as it is in the game, but I figured out how to use odds calculator
yes this is why i said about
i think i even said it's a bit above average
that bit gets very big if odds are very small
?!
the proportional difference is the same
you only think it's "big" because you have to tap a lot on a small hone chance
going to pity on 0.5% starting odds is what, 200 taps or something
+25 weapon maxroll calculator, average gold cost: 223,737
each tap costs 2,450 gold
223,737 / 2,450 = 91.3 tries
that's my guess
45,7 with full juice, and 91,3 with no juice
Wait, that means people are lucky! :3
I think maxroll average is average for chances to success, my question is what is average artisan energy
i think you have to appreciate that pity is a good thing
it actually skews the average lower
because under a no-pity system
it is theoretically possible to never hit

should i hyper express my main (1415), or one of my 1370 alts to get the most of the event?
Main
even if its only +30 till 1445?
yeah 46.5% looks like right answer
Yes
okk
funny. it's pretty close to 50%
Don’t hone any alts over 1370 until your main is 1460 and you got the stronghold honing buff research.
will do, thx for tip
If we take the example of 50% honing chance
1st try: 50% -> 23.25% artisan
2nd try: 55% -> 48.825% artisan (23.25% + 25.575%)
On average with 50% honing rate, it's reasonable to assume that it'll take 2 tries (the formula is more complex but let's keep it simple)
So yeah on average you'll end up with 46.5% artisan energy, give or take
thank you for answers, sorry about confusion, cause I didn't know how odds change after each fail
figuring these odds with your help was way more fun than sitting in lobby waiting for supports 😄
how long is this current punika powerpass until?
June 14th
tyty
i should not hone my weapon then?
ignore
it is because you're honing on legendary gear? (it's fine if you do lel)
yeah it doesn't matter
Godspeed 
I am meaning it ironically.
Of course the pity system allows for progression at this point.
Whats best upgrade lvl to use them?
before they expire
how many days did it took u guys to complete the event with a new char?
What event?
the express?
Good talk
I assume you mean the story express since you stated a new char?
One buddy just rushed through it entirely, took him about 12 hours.
I did it while also doing mokokos and adventure tomes, took me about 2 weeks.
That’s impossible.
If i honed to 1490 by leaving wep at 1475 and doing armor to 1505
I call cap
Hm?
any thirian bois here need help for punika chaos gate
Entire story express took me 30 hours. Give or take an hour.
You can definitely finish story express in 12 hours or less
That's fair. He had it done by the end of the second day after it came out, told me it took him about 12 hours. Could be lying and just played for 30 hours straight.
There’s no way without skipping.
The story express requires you to finish every region with no skips. Entirely possible to “finish” it with kt or power pass in less than that tho.
People seem to be disagreeing with you. shrug
Yeah, had it done by second day and was doing valtan hard mode on the third day.
I timed myself 
There’s a speedrun vod on one guy taking 10 hours finishing up to Punika
did you count the time you spent off the character too
Probably a little more than 10 hours, but definitely under 11 hours
No.
My fastest to level 50 is 10 hours and 30 minutes with anikka skip.
I’ve manually done the story four times. 

This is basically impossible without some major witchcraft. 
Or money I guess 
12 hours for 10-50 then through North Vern, Shushire, Rohendel, Yorn, Feiton, then Punika? 10-50 alone, if not speedrunning the absolute most efficient way possible is 12-15 hours by itself, then each subsequent story after that is at least 1 hour to an hour and a half.
Yeah, took me 11 hours to do 10>50 with no skips.
Maybe 12, but I bet I could get it to 11 or so with shift g.
shouldnt take 2 hours per continent after no?
Eh, 1.5 id say is accurate with shift g.
Possible. Not for most people though, also assuming if they skipped anything like Rohendel or Yorn if this was done at a time when that was possible.
Can take up to, doesn't normally go over unless you're really just paying attention to dialogue and story
10-50 felt much longer especially not being able to skip any continents than rohendel and past
even at 2 hours every continent after shushire plus a generous 15 hours for before then is 25 hours
thats gotta be like text to speech speed on every dialogue
Mhmm and new players or even most are not going to be doing a sub 12 hour run all the way to punika.
Just cuz some dude did it in a video doesn't mean thats everyone
up to lv50 is like 7-10 hours at breakneck pace and then 60-90m each continent after, just add another 20-50% for casual rushing through story
plus you can chop south vern for most purposes since no one sane is going to kt svern after manually playing to punika and theres no real reason to rush it in a day after the rest
i dont see it taking 30 hours
Did you do the story express?
yup on bard
i have a sidequest from each continent left over for fun
so humphrey is in vern and shushire at the same time
Do you mean that it should take longer or shorter then?
Wait, did you use shift g?
it should be shorter
i read most of the dialogue
so my run should be on the slower side of fast
Yeah, no way.
If you're reading the dialogue it is definitely not shorter than 30 hours
I think you’re grossly underestimating the time it took.
Yeah
🤷♂️
It happens tho. Especially when one gets into story and such.
i think id toaster bath if i played 30 hours of story
I’d wager it took you around 35 hours of playtime or longer.
People have been timing this stuff out for years
Before all the QoL it was 20+ hours just from 10 to 50
That has been slowly cut down over time with changes they've made to the process
Well… I did do 10>50 in 12 hours with no shift g.
They pretty much cut 30 minutes off just with the removal of the prologue gameplay
Yeah, prologue 
is their a way to clear this solo ?
Not really, no.
If chaos gates don’t scale, maybe if you’re juiced
They scale you
But I’m pretty sure they scale
Not sure they scale down if you start off with like 5 or 6, but everyone leaves except 1.
Is that Punika gate?
yea
Rip
i thought everybody would do this for leg rage rune guess not or prob most have it already
Best bet is just to do it with bots if you see a large number of them
Did you show up right when it opened or after it?
I'm saying they scale to the numbers of players in said instance at the start.
If people leave during... The instance isn't going to scale itself because they left for whatever reasons.
i should up before it opened and waited
Might wanna try around peak times for your region, then
But, your best bet is to go 1415 and do south vern. There are people there.
Probably have better luck
usually lts does 12 mill in their it was 2m max
But people don't do those for the leg rune, they mostly already have it
They'd do it for the maps if anything
yep rip
do it in vern
there are always people for vern's one
I am playing on EUW which haters call dead region and I still get to play them with 30 people squads easily, at any moment
Nothing to do with being a hater, just factual. Comparatively its just got less people on it.
Comparatively maybe but people really exaggerate it
which rapport gives u the best rewards?
Its not RU, but it has made things more difficult for people with getting groups and the market (to my understanding at least on this one) and such.
My experience ends at Vykas right now and had no issues on getting learning parties, getting free carry runs on argos/valtan, progressing every abyssal including waters ones, building characters during the week (5x3 + 4x3), getting cool skins for relatively cheap parties
And from what I've been told before I started, it was the content that I would have issues with, since "everyone is at the last stage of the game"
I came back to the game early January or late December, I play it daily and really never had issues with it
Wtf I have to spend pheons to transfer stuff from one character to another? Accessories?
Meanwhile it drives people away for no reason and it might actually worsen the situation, I've already read recommendations that even accounts with 200 hours spent on EUW should move to EUC, what kind of talk is it
Yes
I'd focus on these that give you important region rewards which are skill points
2 servers or 15
which one will be dead first
ure not lazy, u answer and give advice to everyone, thank you for your servix sir.
speaking of, should i be using all rapport chests immediately?
Do you plan on completing every rapport?
My friend rerolled off with around 900 hours and $1k USD spent 
You can start with East Luttera as it has some easy rapports to do, but very tough ones to finish (Cals/Thirain/Nerias), North Vern gives it early, Shushire as well, Rohendel might be harder one (there's no many rapport npcs as well), Punika might be the most challenging and I recommend doing it later
why would he do that?
He couldn’t find groups to raid with.

He said, “High end raiding on multiple characters anytime outside of peak is rough. Just killed it for me.”
eventually yes
Keep in mind that for many of these you will need virtues which are rewards from rapports as well
That's why Punika should be the last one as some of these npcs require very high stats
And some quests too.
You can skip it with legendary gifts
But you might not have enough of them or it might not be worth the effort
And if you fail then you're stuck
well I would say to keep some rapport chests around just in case you need to rush a rapport to get some reward quickly
Make sure to keep some epic ones around since the island rapports won’t let you use legendary ones if they go over however much is required
i was mainly going for the ignea tokens
If you like wolves then the shushire wolf gives you recolored wolf mount
finish every regions rapport first
dude i have so many oranges one... i bought 3 plat packs at launch i dont know what was the reason but i lowkey wanna sell the chests if i could
"bought" the bug on launch 😉
I dont know where u from but in the us $300 aint much...
if you did fair enough, alot of people got the duplicate packs
Try to rush the continents that takes less overall rapports for an extra bifrost slot would be my suggestion
didnt knew u could duplicate those
jokes aside, i would risk a ban on my steam account, too much invested,
im trying to finish cals and neria, pain
thinking to just pop some rapport chests
legion raids give 4.5k gold?
Yeah if that’s what you want go ahead.
they addressed it, nothing happened to them, a friend of mine has 3 cerberus'es sitting in storage for free
na bro, not here. I got my plat packs and the dupes that were given
might sell later down the road
Different legion raids give different gold amounts
but other than that you’re f2p right?
Brel Hard gate 6 0x Mech Question- Can more than one person collect orbs and contribute to damaging the the large orb or is one person usually assigned to collect all the small orbs to destroy the large one solo?
sadly, no

i know i should be investing my hard earned minimum wage on some crypto currency but whatever, fidelity is doing okay 😄
Pffff. stocks and investments don't get leapstones. Full investment in to Lost Ark, choo choo.

i cant even talk when they ask me how much i lost on gme and shib, im out yall be safe.
i need an expert, what is better?
https://loa-todo.com/engrave
Use this
for the presets, if you dont have customizing folder, you need to make one right?
I did, but can't find a solution to it without getting 12 grudge
Yes
unless I go 10/7 stone lmfao
ok ty
but what engravings should the stones be? cuz on the build I have it's grudge adren
If you already got leg grudge, don’t use a rock with it.
^^ i don't 😛
Oh wait
got lego surge unfortunately
I read your screenshots backwards.
Just work it out on that link I sent ya.
Shouldn’t be too hard.
9/6 stone it is then, cuz that's the only solution I could find 😛
But it isn’t. You can just a 7/7 which is generally easier to get.
I've got a 7/6 6 being grudge and 7 being adren if I go +1 on grudge then it will be 1 point over 15 for no reason because the book is 9 + stone 6 = 15
^^ that's why I asked what engravings the stone should have
can anyone tell me which one is the best for artist?
Here
entropy
tysm
You can use /ClassName to pull up a guide.
use betrayal for not serious stuff and pvp when u can switch to any set later on
What rock is the best to cut on a support
A rock that has engravings your class uses.
Awakening+something usually
if you have awk 12 is wtv you want
it will be cheap
why i cant put it on market
