You don’t need lvl 10 gem it’s a 5% dmg increase over lvl 7 each

[orchid willow]

+19% increase is 5% dmg on 21% (lvl 7 gem)?

[grave widget]

Correct

[radiant flame]

On a single skill

[grave widget]

#info-dump message

[radiant flame]

Man doesn’t trust maths so not sure that will help 😂

[grave widget]

oh it’s to lvl 9 it’s 5%

So 7 to 10 is 12%

[vast oriole]

replacing pd would give him more dmg so

[orchid willow]

well 12% is a noticable increase

[grave widget]

Ok now I’m a bit confused so nvm,

Just adding the % inbetween is clearly not correct as it says lvl 7 gem to lvl 9 is 4.9% dps increase

[grave widget]

Ah doesn’t matter I’m not good at maths either who gives a shit

[proud sphinx]

7 gems is 21% dmg, 9 gems is 30% and 10 gem is 40% dmg

[grave widget]

Yeah the point is it’s not that simple

[radiant flame]

And it’s only relevant to the extent that you upgrade all your gems

[orchid willow]

so 7.7%

increase

[grave widget]

No not 7.7%

[orchid willow]

7->10

[radiant flame]

The surge example is a hyperbole

[grave widget]

Surge is a much larger % of dmg than meteor

[radiant flame]

Because surge is such a large proportion of surge db damage

[wraith basin]

ur sorc u need more gems than me

[grave widget]

Guessing it seems like it would be a between 2-5% dps increase for 1 lvl 10 gem on sorc?

[radiant flame]

Anyway why do you care about gems

You are 1477

Level 10 gems are one of the least gold efficient upgrades

[vast oriole]

why are you even trying

[orchid willow]

well i gota be upto par with my lvl instead of being a noob with increased lvl with nothing set, nowdays ppl are power lvling and not working on other things which is affecting their performance

[radiant flame]

Anyway we need to move on. This guy is just upset because he has no gold. But doesn’t want to listen to advice about how to build his character

[orchid willow]

lol

[grave widget]

level 7s is already at that point

If you have all 7s that’s fine

[orchid willow]

making gold is easy through una, raid gold is got if complete raid which is not being gate kept at any

una = 4k+

raid gold is the major gold if ur not gate kept

[radiant flame]

My 1565 still uses 7s

It’s fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

[grave widget]

You’re less likely to get gatekept if you’re over item lvl than if u have nice gems

[rain charm]

my 1551 still using level 7s

[boreal sentinel]

my main using 2x lvl 9 and rest lvl 7

[shy chasm]

Most you need is 1 lvl 9 on highest dmg skill

[rain charm]

surge blade u should at least go for level 8 on surge skill

if not higher

[radiant flame]

Slayer getting all my 9s

[rain charm]

dont need anything else tbh

my slayer running full level 7s on release until i quit the game

[timber mauve]

I’d say lvl 9 on surge at least. Basically a one gem class

[rain charm]

[orchid willow]

if u cant understand how hard is to make gold then iuno , being gate kept = loss of gold, looking at 4k gold per week if fully gatekept

[rain charm]

yea im upgrading my level 8 to level 9 for surge

[timber mauve]

My surge is using a single lvl 5 tho

[rain charm]

u getting gatekept from all my runs

[orchid willow]

and i aint chasing that island event forgot the name

[rain charm]

better not see u in party finder

[timber mauve]

I’m in a valtan rn

[rain charm]

better be

[radiant flame]

Icy is mechanical uptime god

I believe

All that gacha practice

[grave widget]

wardancer mains here would u say the class feels very different Trixion vs real raid

[rain charm]

depends

[boreal sentinel]

depends on build

[rain charm]

are you on entropy version of wardancer

[grave widget]

I was gonna PP it on slayer release but I just kt it to Vern and didn’t like it…

[rain charm]

or hallu

hallu feels relatively similr

similar*

entropy will feel WAY different in real raid

[boreal sentinel]

we have like 632632632632636 builds

[rain charm]

especially 4 spender

[boreal sentinel]

FI and eso 2 spender are pretty much the same as in trixion

[rain charm]

4 spender entropy is the most polarizing build in terms of playstyle of wardancer builds

[boreal sentinel]

u follow set rotation

[grave widget]

I figure

[rain charm]

yea uptime versions of wd are basically the same

the dps builds are a little bit different from trixion

[grave widget]

I don’t have resources for a 4 spender build anytime soon on an alt

[rain charm]

i mean 4 spender hallu doesnt take much tbh

im 1551 main and i still run full level 7s, only one purple wealth rune

[boreal sentinel]

FI , 2spender , 3spender hallu are perfect

for alt

they aren't expensive

[rain charm]

yea 3 spender hallu is the best option after 4 spender versions if u want to do good damage

[grave widget]

I think I just didn’t really like the buttons

Which felt like a bummer, not much to do about it

[boreal sentinel]

myself i run 2 spender and after building ancients i will go for 3 spender hallu

[rain charm]

for which build ?

[jolly hornet]

out of curiosity anyone else been getting random 0.5-1second freezes since the patch this week?

[rain charm]

yea a lot of people been talking about it

[grave widget]

I tried both the 3 spender Hallu and the 2 spender one (obv can’t use dominion in trixion so that’s suboptimal), I didn’t try 4 spender tho

[rain charm]

4 spender hallu feels like perfection tbh

[boreal sentinel]

why cant you use dom in trixion

[rain charm]

the playstyle feels amazing

[grave widget]

am I blind and there’s a set piece option

[rain charm]

might not be able to swap gear sets

[boreal sentinel]

you can swap gearsets if u have collected 55 valtan bones and 55 vykas wings

[rain charm]

yea if u dont have the horn and wing requirement u cant change gear sets

but if u do u can change gear sets in ur character profile screen

[grave widget]

I just KT to 302 Vern because I was gonna PP+hyper express in slayer release so it’s not actually at T3

[jolly hornet]

@rain charm oh ok hopefully they fix whatever they did then.Shit is kindadangerous when it happens in g6

[grave widget]

(Not interested in slayer)

[rain charm]

yea i havent been getting those freezes but ik other people have

i will say, 4 spender hallu is the highest dps version of wardancer that doesnt require you to play extremely differently and has less of a boundary to play

[grave widget]

I’ll try it out

[rain charm]

because 4 spender entropy and 4 spender hallu have different rotations

the rotation for 4 spender hallu feels way better to use than 4 spender entropy rotation

[grave widget]

Also do the rotations assume you’re starting at max orbs?

[rain charm]

mainly because you dont have to chase the boss's back constantly

[boreal sentinel]

after all wardancer is pick build that you like

[rain charm]

yea use EC to stack up orbs

the rotation for 4 spender hallu goes: WW > nado > ROC > BF > SSB > SI > full hold RFD

realistically you dont need to aim for back attacks like entropy, but your Blast Formation, Spiral Impact, and Rising Fire Dragon all have back attack properties, so if you can get back attacks on them, it's a free 10% damage increase

nado is hit master though so you can launch nado from anywhere

[grave widget]

But like you use EC and basically just auto until it’s full then dk ur rotation and loop right

[rain charm]

yea pretty much

you can use SSB to gain some meter a bit faster, most of the time when i use SSB before rotation to fast build orbs, i have it up in time to do the second part of the rotation

running level 7 cooldown gem and 581 swift

4 spender also has the added benefit of being able to run 2 counters instead of only one

[grave widget]

I’ll give it another shake

If I end up making a striker I won’t tell you though

[rain charm]

dw wardancer players already know striker is just a cooler looking wardancer

[radiant flame]

But striker male

[rain charm]

striker dont got the wardancer

i would check out the community guide for wardancer to get the 4 spender hallu build

[grave widget]

Yeah i fiend the community guides already

[rain charm]

one thing i'll say is, try to use all your spender skills while standing close to the boss so your EC ticks are stacking up meter in between your skills

that way your rotation doesnt have any downtime of needing to wait to build up more meter

you mostly want to try and get 4 orbs on every skill except RFD, you can use RFD at 3 orbs

as long as you can land RFD before the Spiral Impact attack buff expires

[boreal sentinel]

wardancer is basically a class that regardless of build wants to stay close to boss

[rain charm]

[boreal sentinel]

altho most classes want to do that

[rain charm]

hug the boss like he's ur best friend

[boreal sentinel]

cuz of Korean Design

[devout cape]

Is either one more efficient money wise between buying crystalline with $9.99 usd or buying crystals and converting to 420 blues?

Assuming I don’t mind spending the actual usd

[shut pasture]

If you don't mind spending money go for it

[rain charm]

according to the current prices of blue crystals, you spend 8k gold to get the 420 blues which is the same as 1190 orange crystals if you were to convert them to gold, 1190 orange crystals is roughly higher than 11 dollars in value

so you do get higher value but it's very negligible

one dollar of extra value

if you buy crystalline with USD, that is

[devout cape]

Lol thanks for the math! I’m still not sure how all these different currencies work

[rain charm]

basically, 1190 orange crystals = 8k gold, which = 475 blues so you do get some extra blues if you spend gold to get the crystalline

and 1k orange crystals is $9.99

although if you spend $19.99 you can get 2.2k orange crystals, which is basically two dollars of extra orange crystals (assuming that 100 orange crystals = $1)

so yea, it can take a bit of time to figure that out

basically, tldr, the difference is very negligible, it's basically if you want to use 8k ingame gold or $9.99 from out of the game

[devout cape]

Well I actually bought the 20 pack of crystals separately. I don’t even know what to spend it on. Do I conver to blues and wait for good deals on marni’s?

[forest bear]

How is scrapper atm?

[devout cape]

What’s efficient stuff to buy? I don’t understand all the different class packs and all that

[timber mauve]

Shock is slow like snail
Tai is wicked

[forest bear]

wdym wicked

[rain charm]

was the 20 pack the $19.99 for orange crystals or was it the blue crystals one ?

[astral root]

scrapper's good

[rain charm]

shock = big damage but slow
tai = slightly less damage but fast

[boreal sentinel]

tai is fast back attack class

[devout cape]

I have 4250 orange and 180 blues right now. I bought the crystalline separate

[boreal sentinel]

recommended build is 50/50 crit swift

[forest bear]

so if i make one i go for tai

[devout cape]

Im just swiping apparently

[rain charm]

ahh okay, you can hold onto orange crystals for now, you might end up using them for character slots or paid powerpasses later down the line

[forest bear]

thing is i wanna play slayer too HEHE cant afford that

[boreal sentinel]

not quite it depends on your priorities

[forest bear]

i like faster classes

[boreal sentinel]

do you want quick uptime class or slow burst

[forest bear]

i do like swift tho

[boreal sentinel]

then probably tai will be better pick for you

[rain charm]

yea tai is the swift version of scrapper

[forest bear]

i do play swift slayer too

but do i use express for slayer or scrapper

[rain charm]

technically you could play half crit half swift scrapper

[boreal sentinel]

that depends on you

[forest bear]

cant decide

so hard

[boreal sentinel]

from what i know slayer punisher is most broken class on KR right now

and its up for nerf probably in june

[rain charm]

imo slayer is going to be stronger than scrapper is right now, it just depends on which playstyle you enjoy more

[devout cape]

I was hoping to get useful stuff for my current character. There’s nothing valuable I can get since I’m starting out and poor?

[rain charm]

yea punisher is the spec version of slayer

[rain charm]

how far is your current character in ilvl ?

[solemn topaz]

hello, can someone tell me how many days the account becomes reliable after the first purchase?

[forest bear]

well both are fast

and spam

[devout cape]

Im at 1455 on one and 1460 on the other. Used my hyper pass on arcanist but I fell in love with soulfist and been dumping everything into her

[forest bear]

i guess

[boreal sentinel]

you mean how long until you get trusted status?

[solemn topaz]

yes

[devout cape]

She’s 4x3.. might get 5x3 on an extreme budget build. But the honing and set gear has been hard to come by. I started doing valtan this week and made 2 items at 3 and 4 quality Haven’t started looking at vykas yet

[rain charm]

currently, slayer is the stronger class between tai scrapper and predator slayer, but i would recommend looking up gameplay videos of both classes

[boreal sentinel]

30 days since purchase

[rain charm]

imo the main thing you'll have to work on is getting as much gold as you can, you dont really need to spend the orange crystals on anything yet, you can get the mats for honing from your dailies

[astral root]

also look into Vykas now

[rain charm]

oh also, i would recommend if you have any free time, start going

fish are extremely good value to sell rn

[devout cape]

Ah ok

[rain charm]

so if you have free time you can sit down and fish for a while and make some free gold

[astral root]

the more Vykas you do now the less boxes you have to buy

[devout cape]

Nice thanks for the tip!

[astral root]

which also means more gold long run

[devout cape]

I think I understand valtan well enough now to learn new crap so I will try this weekend

[astral root]

Vykas has much more personal responsiblity in terms of mechanics

but if you've played other mmos it shouldn't be too bad imo

[rain charm]

i would also recommend looking into getting your build as fast as you can, you'll be keeping the build for a long while even after you reach 1540 for ancient

currently relic builds are actually a lot cheaper than they've been in the past, same with legendary books

are you using EO or robust soulfist?

[frosty karma]

I downloaded lost ark and selected a region and server. But it doesn't show the class selection. It jumps to a female character. Is this normal?

[rigid plank]

You can select the class on the right if you're selecting a class

[rain charm]

oh that female character might be Beatrice

[rigid plank]

A frame of reference, aka screenshot would help too

[rain charm]

you might be meeting Beatrice in trixion for the first time

[timber mauve]

I have seen a very strange bug where it instant jumps to mage character creation.

[forest bear]

its so hard to find a name for a character

damn

[timber mauve]

Like game just freaks out then jumps into mage without them touching anything.

[wraith basin]

try a 10 letter name

[forest bear]

What do u think about Feyreia xD

[timber mauve]

I just name my characters after discord emotes

Pepehuh and Peepohuh were free

[frosty karma]

Is that normal?

[rain charm]

can you take a screenshot and show us what you see on your end ?

[frosty karma]

ok

[rain charm]

ok click on the back button in the bottom left

you should be sent to the class selection screen

let me know what happens

[frosty karma]

i get sent to server selection

[timber mauve]

Need to verify game files.

Corrupted download.

[frosty karma]

i did and it still doesn't work

[timber mauve]

Ah shit

Maybe fresh install.

Idk, I’ve only seen this bug happen to one other person here before.

[frosty karma]

can I make another character with another class?

[timber mauve]

From server select, game just freaks out and goes to mage creation.

[timber mauve]

I mean, if you wanna make a mage then go for it.

[frosty karma]

after I make this one

[timber mauve]

But you can’t class swap from like mage to assassin for example.

[frosty karma]

yeah

[maiden locust]

What is this Maykoko emote event for 10 honing shard chests?

[timber mauve]

You also have 6 free character slots.

[rain charm]

once you make mage you can choose between the mage subclasses, which are Sorceress, Arcana, Summoner, and Bard

later on, you can make other classes like Warrior, Assassin, Martial Artist, which all have their own subclasses

you get 5 extra free character slots so you can make a Mage as your first character, or you can try a fresh install to fix the bug and start with a different class

[frosty karma]

Ok, I made it and now im making another. THanks

[rain charm]

if you need any help figuring out which subclass you want to use, you can ask around

[pseudo atlas]

iirc the last person with that bug just had to make a char and then they could make a new char normally

[rain charm]

the event is if everyone that plays the game can, as a collective, use 3 million mokoko emotes (ones like these ) ingame, everyone can get 10 honing shard chests

[glossy gust]

I just came back to the game and bought the rohendale power pass, however i can’t access any of the other triports anywhere else. would I have to unlock these triports manually?

[rose jewel]

is that your only character

[glossy gust]

yes

[rose jewel]

then yes

gotta do story manually on each continent and unlock them 1 by 1

[glossy gust]

i see

well that’s gonna be a pain

[tired spindle]

I've been using Grudge engraving books but it does not seem to add up in the Grudge engraving effect and is stuck at 3/20. Can anybody explain this to me properly? Kinda lost about this, thanks! 🙂

[rose jewel]

after that iirc, all your alts should have the triports unlocked

[glossy gust]

alright well thanks

[rose jewel]

ultra mega hyper tldr;
20 books = 1 upgrade
upgrades goes by 3, 6, 9 and 12 points, being uncommon, rare, epic and legendary (green, blue, purple, yellow)
5 points = 1 level of engraving, 10 lv2, 15 lv3

for more info on that (because books are only 1 way to get engravings out of 3 ways) watch a guide about engravings

[weak nymph]

Engravings do be painful

[rose jewel]

a guide will tell you everything we will tell you and way more detailed, pics included

also

[tired spindle]

aye thanks

[rose jewel]

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, dont use grudge lv1 or 2

[weak nymph]

But I heard the books much cheaper now to grt right?

[rose jewel]

cheaper than ever, for now

[astral root]

books are cheaper now overall but still take up a large part of starter incomes

[wide jackal]

Grudge lvl 3 or nothing?

[astral root]

we've also had nerfs to gold gen overall too

[rose jewel]

grudge lv3 or nothing

[wide jackal]

Curious why

[tired spindle]

Why is that? Kinda aiming to level it to 3 anyway

[rose jewel]

damage at lv1 is super bad, 4% or something, and the +20% increased damage from mobs doesnt go down, its always 20%

there are better engraves at lv1 to use without any downside

or at least not one as bad

[wide jackal]

Like adrenaline?

[rose jewel]

yes, its good to use grudge as early as possible so you get used to how much damage you take (increased damage overall) but not at lv1 or 2

[weak nymph]

I need to go check what engravings the slayer will use

[rose jewel]

adrenaline is a good lv1 alternative, BUT, early in the game its not, you barely can keep it at max stacks due to very long cooldowns, no swift combat stat, no gems, no nothing

[weak nymph]

I like this guide already, answer to Why Play Slayer? Is spot on

[dense shard]

I'm a brand new player, and I used my Story Express on a class I'm not crazy about, and have found one I'd much rather play. Should I finish the story on the story express character, and then use the South Vern pass, or deal with honing from Rohendel onward?

[timber mauve]

Just finish the story express.

You’ll unlock a free level boost that’ll juice a new character up to where your story express one is later on.

[astral root]

many classes don't come online till you have proper stats/gear at ilv 1445+

[dense shard]

It's a playstyle thing moreso, even reading and watching what it's like at Endgame

[rose jewel]

north vern* is the ones you get early on, you can also go all the way and finish the full express and get more good things and a punika pass

[astral root]

so it may not be a total loss

[rose jewel]

what class is it just to be curious

because some classes completely change their playstyle with their class engrave

[dense shard]

@rose jewel Yeah, I've got that one already, I mistook what you got at the end

Sorceress, I dislike burst windows of Igniter and the bonus from Reflux seems very anemic. Without the burst window, I dislike standing and lobbing big nukes with high CD.

[rose jewel]

i mean

[midnight nimbus]

Does attack power reduction (engraving) affect the support's buffs? (such as Sun Sketch and Sun Well)

[rose jewel]

reflux is very fast paced, fast cast, lots of movement

[shut pasture]

They are just different. Igniter = burst and Reflux = sustained

[dense shard]

Is it?

[shut pasture]

Yup

[dense shard]

Hm

[astral root]

regardless, you can't change your story express character so

[rose wren]

reflux swifter

[rose jewel]

lower damage comparatively, but no need to wait for burst

just push buttons

[dense shard]

yeah, I'm gonna finish it out either way

Does the Swiftness for Reflux only come at endgame?

[rose wren]

i dont think so

[rose jewel]

yes

[dense shard]

or is this something I could try while in the storty and enjoy better

Ok

[maiden locust]

in raids count? where you can spam it? or just outside raids? % seems to have stayed at 38% for a bit

[rose jewel]

you lack your relic piece to not have mana problems

Sorceress Community Guide

This information was created by community members · May 5, 2023, 8:41 PM

[rose jewel]

and you dont have high swiftness stacked

lower swiftness means higher cooldowns

you also lack cooldown gems on top of that

and tripods

[dense shard]

Oh, well

Cool

[shut pasture]

There are actually a number of build variations for Sorc

[rose jewel]

a class at early and at endgame, most classes, are like night and day

[midnight nimbus]

If you're using hyperexpress, you can use the free 4x3 and stack accessories with swiftness, ignoring their engravings

[shut pasture]

Depending on what stats you choose to go

[dense shard]

@rose jewel This is also partly based on videos and guides and such, people describing them, talking to folks here, etc.

[rose jewel]

wardancer pre relic with 30s cooldowns btw

[astral root]

[weak nymph]

I think predator slayer will be the one ill go for

[rose wren]

u'll run into mana issue during guardian raids, there's so much time u can attack until nightmare set or so

[astral root]

also you get less mana at lower character levels

which doesn't help lmao

[dense shard]

I don't know that I've ever had a mana problem, even in the baby guardian raids/chaos dungeons? Like I haven't even thought about mana tbh

[astral root]

when you get faster mana becomes an issue for some classes

[dense shard]

makes sense

[rain charm]

we moved up to 57% this morning, the percentage updates daily

[astral root]

also higher skill levels use more mana

[rain charm]

and yes, raids do count

[dense shard]

but tbh that's great to know about Reflux, I'd hate to drag this character to the beginning of the endgame and not use it

[weak nymph]

Ye my main is Reflux sorc, can confirm its very fast paced, u never rly stand

[dense shard]

That's pretty Pog

[maiden locust]

Oh I see it now ty

[rain charm]

you can use emotes in raids and they count towards it

although, every player has a 10 emotes per day limit

[rose jewel]

aint no fucking way, like no shot, we are at 5X% on the challenge

when the first 2 days we were at 10%~ish

[astral root]

bless the bots

[rain charm]

@dense shard btw i noticed you're new and in NAE, i would recommend checking out the Loot Heroes discord, it's an NAE-based discord that's centered around learning parties and finding groups for players that need them

[dense shard]

Oh awesome, thank you!

oh hey we're talking in both discords

[rain charm]

[dense shard]

I felt like I was asking too many questions in the other one lol

[rose jewel]

never too many questions to learn

[rain charm]

yea the game is very confusing when starting out, takes time to learn

[dense shard]

also there was this NarumiRaito character in the official discord, just the WORST

[astral root]

While Lost Ark isn't what I would consider esoteric levels of bullshit, it's not the easiest mmo to learn

[rain charm]

[dense shard]

I'm so sorry

[astral root]

so feel free to ask questions

[dense shard]

Thank you 🙂

[rose jewel]

specially when you need a good build to even get into raids

even being new

[maiden locust]

Can anybody offer any good discord servers to join? I am 1415 in NAE Elzowin and have no guild and have never done any of the raids at my ilevel such as Argos or anything, so I’m pretty fresh, just looking for a place that’s willing to help me go along and learn and potentially join a guild

[astral root]

imo express 4x3 should just be standard

[rose jewel]

loot heroes

like stated above

its an NAE specific discord for learning parties

[maiden locust]

Thank you

[shut pasture]

Meh. No.

[dense shard]

There's a pin with a google doc of community discords

nm that's not there

[maiden locust]

Ill go through the pins then

Thank you

[rose wren]

u'll be like using focus runes instead at lower lvls, if u have judge/convi rune too it helps too, could maybe find mp effiency engrave around when u grind on chaos dungeon or so

[shut pasture]

I do think they should alleviate some of the entry difficulty to getting your books at least for your engraving slots, but not by just providing a permanent 4x3.

At least give new players free 20 leg books of their choice but its a one time thing on the account.

[rose jewel]

for soul stealer yes plz ty

[crimson cobalt]

hey, quick question: is there a class who uses crit with raid captian and mass? no right

[astral root]

LMAO

[rain charm]

FI wardancer

[rose jewel]

yes? slayer?

[rose wren]

there's region role chat here, u can look through, i've pf random lobby at argos to vyk so far

[rain charm]

yea slayer too

[astral root]

yeah books are a better long term solution for sure

[rose jewel]

WD only on neck, soul fist as well

[crimson cobalt]

omg thanks. i got a 100 Q ring

[astral root]

but also pheons are hard to come by as a new player as well

[crimson cobalt]

gotta wait for slayer then

[maiden locust]

I can’t seem to find it

[rose jewel]

ignore the doc

[maiden locust]

I’ll go join that as well and see what’s going on

[rose jewel]

just try to join the loot heroes discord and you're good

[dense shard]

I don't think either of us can find a link to it, I googled it without success

[maiden locust]

Yeah, imma look for the link to join

[rose jewel]

let me check

i believe lost mokoko had the link

[shut pasture]

Predator Slayer specifically would be. Though its Swift/Crit

[maiden locust]

Plus, I need to find a use for my punika pp now, was gonna save it for slayer but it seems they’re being released with their own, so I can use this on on someone else 🤷🏻‍♂️

[rose jewel]

do you mind one PM, both of you

i got the link

[dense shard]

I don't mind

[rose wren]

whichever u enjoy

[rain charm]

pretty sure it's gg/nae-lootheroes

[rose jewel]

pmed both

[crimson cobalt]

would 50k be too high for price? idk how to estimate prices

[maiden locust]

I don’t mind

[rain charm]

tbh i would wait for slayer to release before selling what it is that you're trying to sell

[rose jewel]

wait for slayer to be here

the accesories will be higher in price

but being honest, crit accesories dont cost that much to begin with

we'll see when she's here

[crimson cobalt]

oh yeah, thanks to you all i will wait for her. its a ring

[shut pasture]

It being a ring sorta complicates that. Only place they'll take Crit is on their Neck

[rose jewel]

ohhh yeah that as well

she's pure swift

oops

[crimson cobalt]

well damn

[rose jewel]

gotta read the guide later lmao

[crimson cobalt]

anyways xd

[shut pasture]

FI Wardancer is too

[rose jewel]

EO SF as well

[shut pasture]

Usually when a class mains Swift as a stat it mains it

[crimson cobalt]

so i can throw it away. i was happy once in my life

[rose wren]

firstday release of anything r stupid prices

[rose jewel]

double swift on necklace, letsgo 2k swift

[shut pasture]

Not throw, might be able to sell it still just maybe not for quite a lot

Could compare prices on market if you haven't done so already

[crimson cobalt]

nothing there rn sadly

[rose jewel]

lower the quality on the search

like, right click, search, go to advanced sarch and put quality to 0

[crimson cobalt]

i did literally nothing xd on no acc

[rose jewel]

well

crit with raid and mass is

[crimson cobalt]

oh wait

[rose jewel]

not a very good combo i think, but

[crimson cobalt]

yeah

sad

what can you do

[rose jewel]

it also depends on if its 3/3 4/3 or 5/3

assuming relic

[crimson cobalt]

4/3 relic

[shut pasture]

Oh that probably would have been listed as cheap anyway

[crimson cobalt]

not important tho. whatever

[rose jewel]

yeaahh

[shut pasture]

Sorry

[rose jewel]

even if it is 100q

[rose wren]

raid is for swift

[shut pasture]

People are really only going to go for 5/3

Usually

[rose jewel]

4/3 is for if you get lucky on the stone

or you're just trying to get a 4x3 for cheap

out of the question for now for me, sad, i wonder how much access will cost

im hyper tempted to save on gold and cash in for the pheons ngl

[sly drum]

How do i unlock lopang island una's task?

[rose jewel]

do lopang una's for like 7 days

a quest will appear in lopang

[sly drum]

i dont have the una

[rose jewel]

have you ever set foot in lopang

[sly drum]

Not yet

[rain charm]

i think there's a questline to do in lopang

[rose jewel]

well

[sly drum]

Ohhh

[rose jewel]

duh go there

[rain charm]

yeah you have to do the lopang questline to unlock the una task

[rose wren]

u have to setfoot and quest there on every island

[rain charm]

it's pretty short

[rose jewel]

i wanna say, i may remember wrong, but you gotta do some silver una's for a week before you can get the soul

[sly drum]

Oh i just want the silver lol

[rose jewel]

dont we all

[gloomy trellis]

Should I keep my bombs for later or just use them as I progress through the story to fight dungeon bosses and suchh

[rose jewel]

save

100%

but before that

which bombs

destruction, whirlwind and such?

[rain charm]

yea story shouldnt require any battle items for the most part, should be able to get through without needing them

[rose wren]

def reduce/corro/stagger bombs/sleep/phero later

[gloomy trellis]

Yeah exactly

[rain charm]

yea you dont need to use them for now, hold onto them

[gloomy trellis]

sounds good

[rose jewel]

you will need, really need them later

otherwise you wont be able to do some wipe mechs

and you wont like to die coz you didnt saved that whirlwind grenade you used in a monster with 5927 hp left

[rose wren]

vyk stagger phase such a waste of time, cant it just end at 0

[polar zenith]

does anyone know

if its more worth to dry tap 1445-1460, or to buy relic books?

[glacial scarab]

how long do i need to wait after delting to use name of lv 1 char ?

[rose wren]

there's no relic book...

[polar zenith]

yes there is

[rose wren]

no wait time

oh u meaning honing book xD

[rain charm]

the relic books that increase honing chance, correct ?

[polar zenith]

yes

200 gold for armour and 400 gold for weapon

[rain charm]

imo i would recommend using them

[polar zenith]

aight

[rose wren]

get them from event

[rain charm]

do you have any characters at brel ilvl ?

and yea the event gives some for free

[polar zenith]

no

and I used all the events

im just pushing another alt

want my paladin at hm vykas

[rain charm]

tbh i would still recommend to use books, think you might save more gold that way

[polar zenith]

kk thanks

[dreamy bluff]

btw how is 5x3 +2 possible? is it still a 9/7 stone? or something better. does someone have here it already?

[shy chasm]

Need 9/7

Without most is +1

[dreamy bluff]

wait i got it, i was trying to see how you would go about building it but i kept coming 1 short. the +2 is from the stone(7) not from accs

[rose jewel]

nothing

[fluid seal]

how stupid/effective is the ingame reporting system?

[rose jewel]

stupidly innefective for most cases

[fluid seal]

can be abused?

[rose jewel]

would recommend both reporting ingame and outside of

yes it can be abused

you can get banned for 1-3 days if enough people report you

for doing nothing

[frosty karma]

The game is pretty lit

like never winter

[fluid seal]

would i get banned if 2 people reported me in chaos dungeon because i declined move vote?

[rose jewel]

probably yes probably no

[fluid seal]

this happens like once every 50 dungeons

[rose jewel]

dude

wait wait

WAAAAAAAAAAAAit

[fluid seal]

what

[rose jewel]

why in the fuck are you partying in chaos dungeon

that shit's solo content

its better, its faster

you dont do that in parties

[fluid seal]

paladin cant solo it

[rose jewel]

DUDE

[fluid seal]

can

[rose jewel]

paladin is top tier chaos dungeon solo

[lament spoke]

xd

[fluid seal]

but so slow

[rose jewel]

literally top tier

[fluid seal]

not when u barely have enough gear?

[rose jewel]

???

my 0 gear paladin while in punika had stupid fast clears

you are just not using the correct skills

[fluid seal]

are you playing the blue spec in dungeons?

[rose jewel]

i have it at lv1

and that's my raid build as well

the only thing i change is books

i use raid captaion x2 purple books for a bit extra damage

the rest of my accesories are my raid ones

i dont use preemptive, i dont use cursed or mass, i dont use anything else but raid cap.

and my clears are fast af

[rain charm]

probably just need to set up your chaos dungeon skills

[fluid seal]

honestly even on my dps chars i like to do it with ppl

[rose jewel]

and my judgment is only lv1

nah dude

you're literally wasting time

[fluid seal]

yea

[rain charm]

you have two skill presets you can use as a default, i use one of them for my raid setup and the other one for chaos dungeon skills

[rose jewel]

chaos dungeon is solo stuff

[rain charm]

i would recommend looking at the community guide for paladin and making a chaos dungeon skill preset

[rose jewel]

mass preset your skills like narumi said

preset 1 is raid preset 2 is chaos dun

[fluid seal]

ill do that tonight

[rose jewel]

its legit ultra fast as pala to clear chaos solo

and please

for the love of nineveh

use mass presets

[strange crescent]

when you wei frog vykas charm gauge keep goes up right?

thank if you have 80 percent and up gauge before wei frog how do you survive?

[rose jewel]

gauge keeps going up until vykas is staggered

you get out of the aoe

its not mapwide

its aoe wide, get out of the circle aoe and you stop getting gauge up

[strange crescent]

like outside part of the map?

[rose jewel]

you can see the circle

unless you're color blind

[strange crescent]

oh okay good to know

[rose jewel]

that's why you wait for a bit to throw wei at vykas

so people get gayge to kill bot frog

otherwise no gayge = no frog killers = probable wipe

[rose wren]

there's a circle patten shape, if u cant see it then er

[rain charm]

the middle part of the map turns red and anyone standing in it gets gauge, people standing on the outside dont get any gauge

[rose wren]

yea

[rain charm]

the red circle around vykas gives gauge

if you're the frog killers, you want to get your gauge until the bar is red, step out of the circle, and kill the frog

[rose wren]

it also appear when she does those weird "whale" as the community call it too

[rain charm]

if you're the wei frog sidereal user, you want to toss your wei to kill the top frog and stagger vykas at the same time

after vykas gets staggered, the gauge-stacking circle in the middle disappears, so you can go dps vykas after both frogs are killed

with wei frog strat, you start off tentacle phase with above red levels of gauge, so you can start killing the tentacles instantly as they spawn

instead of having to grab orbs to get gauge up and THEN killing the tentacles, which can take a lot more time

[rose wren]

yea, once u hit enough lust

[rose jewel]

horni gayge

[fluid seal]

can someone tell me what is these circles?

[rose wren]

yearning set

you see swift/dex/inte/str on u when u get hit by it

[fluid seal]

ok now i need to find out whats yearning set

[rose wren]

legion raid npc

[fluid seal]

chosen gear?

[rose wren]

no higher

[fluid seal]

so i get this set after upgrading my chosen gear to vykas?

[rose wren]

ilvl1445

[rose jewel]

vykas and valtan

relic gear set

1445+

you're a support, so you're supposed to support

[rose wren]

doesn't really matter in chaos dung tho

[rose jewel]

later on when you unlock gear set transfer? i forgot the name zzzz, you can switch between sets freely for no cost

so you can mass preset yearning for raids and any offensive set for chaos dungeon

making it even easier to clear

[fluid seal]

i can get full set from doing valtan only or some parts require vykas mats?

[rose wren]

gear conversion

[fluid seal]

at least 4 set bonus

[rose jewel]

no set can be completed doing only 1 raid

[rose wren]

require both legion

[rose jewel]

yearning requires 2 from valtan and 4 from vykas

you cant escape the titty succubus

and you will NEED (or at least want) 6 set yes or yes

otherwise your dpses are losing on damage for free

[fluid seal]

so how many busses do i need for 6 parts?

[vast oriole]

2 valtan

and

2-3 vykas, not sure about vykas

[rose wren]

i haven't really looked at how many u gain on vyk

[rain charm]

after the new thing they added, every valtan run gives 12 horns (if you buy box for both gates)

[rose jewel]

assuming you're 1460

otherwise 4

[rain charm]

and vykas hard gives 12 wings pretty sure

[rose jewel]

24

double drops for first 5 raids

[rain charm]

oh

[rose jewel]

so normal is 12

since you need a mfing lot of mats from each, its 2 valtan hm buying all boxes and 4 nm or 2hm vykas

[rain charm]

yea pretty much

[rose jewel]

3rd week you unlock the thingie

how the fk is it called

[fluid seal]

also i wont get accepted in raids without the full set

[rose jewel]

i just woke up and i barely remember names

you will get accepted in raids

supports have it easier

you're just being negative

of course compared to a fully decked support with 6 set and high combat stats and 5 gems

yeah i would probably take the other one

[fluid seal]

not when theres tons of supps

[rose jewel]

but a support is a support

you dont need to be ultra juiced to be efficient

when slayer comes things will switch, or at least sups wont be on ultra high demand

people already putting artist on slave mode for lopang

[fluid seal]

isnt slayer dps class? why would alter supp demand

[rain charm]

more people going to make slayer and dps classes

because everyone knows there's a high support count now

people arent going to make more supports

[fluid seal]

so there will be less supports

[rain charm]

more dps = more opportunities for supports to find groups

[rose wren]

nah thats silly thinking

[rain charm]

everyone and their mother is making a slayer on release

everyone wants to do raids on slayer

[rose jewel]

tiiiiiiidiiiiiiiiies

[rose wren]

huh

[rose jewel]

2 good reasons for playing slayer

[rain charm]

2 big reasons for playing slayer

[rose wren]

nah 4

[grave kernel]

How is this still broken? It's been a month, and the chat selection is still off the screen.

[rose wren]

o barely used that bit lol

[rose jewel]

use tab to switch between channels

[rose wren]

im guessing they haven't heard report on it

[rose jewel]

dont click the thing, only villains do that

you can go to the official discord and report it to roxx or shieldmaiden

[grave kernel]

Is this not the official discord?

[rose wren]

it used to be but no longer

[grave kernel]

[rose jewel]

????

it never was wtf

[grave kernel]

I literally googled lostark discord cuz forums went down

and this is the first one I chose lOL

[rose wren]

but it has just "lostark"...

[rose jewel]

honestly

this is the best pick between the 2 ngl

better structured and more guides

but the official one has amazon people

[rose wren]

now its "playlostark" discord for offical

[shut pasture]

????

[rose wren]

very strange how it wasn't claim official... like every company claims all social media as game title

[shut pasture]

Yeah it never was. They also made the smart choice in not treading on the already well established community

[weak nymph]

any reason why Tragon didn't unlock for me? I just finished the last daily, got the item and used it, but when I go Sail, tragon still locked

[rose wren]

contruct in stronghold

[dreamy heath]

im 1100 doing story express.
Do I just sell to merchant: Guardian stone fragments/guardian stones andharmony / life leapstone.Considering I get t3 when I finish punika. ? Or do i need to do something else with those mats ?

[shut pasture]

Naw they aren't worth anything once you get into T3

Any materials from T1 and T2 you would have aren't going to be of use in T3

Mainly the Bound ones

[rose jewel]

bound ones sell to npc for a bit of silver

roster bound or tradable save for alts (or sell)

[gloomy trellis]

Do I facet these stones I collect?

[rain charm]

oh level 42

enjoying the true lost ark leveling experience

[gloomy trellis]

Just found the second ark lol

[amber trout]

do you think there will be another honing nerf for 1460 with slayer hyper express?

[rose wren]

dont worry at low lvls, just a hp boost, u can gain atleast 1 lv3 engraving, worry when u hit t3 stages

[rain charm]

yea the leveling to 50 is the hardest part of the game when starting out, when i started the game it took me like 600 hours just to level to 50

it might've been 60

and not 600

now that i think about it

[amber totem]

90 hours here, but I was being a completionist

I grabbed all mokoko all side quests all adventure tome stuff

[rain charm]

but now players have the option of paying like $20 and buying a powerpass to skip a process

that took me 60 hours

why didnt I GET TO HAVE THAT

[gloomy trellis]

lol. I was going to say...

I'm doing story express rn

[rain charm]

worst part is it was during school hours, i would skip school to play lost ark

[shut pasture]

60 hours to 50...? Thats...did you do everything?

[gloomy trellis]

Thankfully, I'm out of school for now

[rain charm]

yea i did most of the stuff, wasnt being a completionist or anything, just wanted to get it done as fast as possible to get to t1 and start going towards t2 and t3

and then we had the 1340-1370 push

it was a dark time in the early ages of lost ark

[shut pasture]

Uhhhh then you weren't going fast at all

[amber totem]

20-30 was the normal fast speed

[dreamy heath]

should i do chaos dungeons at 1100. or just finish punika then do chaos dungeons. Only reason i think i may need to do it now is to start getting gems ?

[shut pasture]

Even at launch it only took me 17 hours to get to 50 and thats considered on the slower side

[amber totem]

keep pushing through the story

[rain charm]

yea there were times where i just left the game on just to have it on

wait

im stupid

i just went back in my message history

it took me 20 ingame hours to get 50

where did i get 60 from ???

[gloomy trellis]

lol

[shut pasture]

I have no idea

[rain charm]

how naive i was

[gloomy trellis]

for me to to travel between islands I have to pay silver for a boat?

[weak nymph]

is there easier ways to get pirate coins nowadays? I remember I was saving for Astray, but now I see I need to spend coins to get the materials to upgrade the original boat after lvl 5, so wondering if I shouldn't spent them

[rain charm]

correct

[grave widget]

man ive not even started my grind towards legendary grudge.. i am strongly considering doing cursed doll first instead cause theyre 3k each vs 11k each on euc

[rain charm]

tbh legendary grudge isnt really needed

grudge 5 accessories are actually really cheap

because most old players have grudge 12

[shut pasture]

Sure but not everything uses Cursed Doll, and also there tend to be other options than Cursed Doll for a lot of classes

[astral root]

ADR/ambush

😎

[grave widget]

yeah i just need a legendary engraving to get started on some 5x3s

adrenaline seems a bit cursed and i cant do ambush so its either grudge or cursed doll and i thiink all my classes can do cursed doll

[rain charm]

imo the best books to get for combat are Keen Blunt, Raid Captain (if ur into swift classes), and Ambush/Hit Master (depending on if ur roster is positional or non-positional)

Keen Blunt is used by a ton of dps classes

other than those, i would say class engravings if you play classes that use their class engraving at level 3

[grave widget]

i would get keen blunt but its useless for my soulfist, but that one is kinda gonna be sitting at 1370 for a while, and also my reaper(main) has a 7/7 ambush/kbw stone

[rain charm]

what classes and what class specs is your roster using?

[grave widget]

if it wasnt for the stone it would be a good call

lunar reaper, pinnacle glaivier, empress arcana, soulfist (later) and striker (when PP+Express)

pretty horrible stuff but it is what it is

[rain charm]

havent decided on which soulfist spec to use yet ?

[grave widget]

oh, i forgot to write eo

[astral root]

also assuming DB striker

[grave widget]

i mean it'll be esoteric for a while

eventually DB but yeah he'll be expressed up so whatever

[rain charm]

have you decided on the relic set you'll use for glaivier ?

[grave widget]

yeah shes already got nightmare

not gonna entropy glaivier

iirc they can all use cursed doll alright

[full flax]

is it worth keeping my only character at 1577 until the power pass comes in to claim all the rewards?

[gloomy trellis]

How do I do the maykoko emote event thing?

[grave widget]

if you click y then click emoticons its those at the top there

[rose jewel]

...powerpass?

[shut pasture]

Mokoko emotes, hit Y.

[shut pasture]

They aren't always at the top. Depends on what ones you have unlocked.

[full flax]

the slayer one - hyperexpress event whatever

[grave widget]

do you mean 1377?

[rose jewel]

you cant select your 1577 for the hyper

[shut pasture]

^

[frank beacon]

[shut pasture]

Also those rewards would all be bound to your character as well

Therefore useless

[rose jewel]

besides

[full flax]

sorry lol 1457

[rose jewel]

we already, literally, right now, have an hyper running rng

oh ok thats different

[frank beacon]

even that you cant select

[rose jewel]

yes you can

new hyper will be for 1460

[full flax]

I was thinking i hold out and claim all the rewards from the previous tiers

[rose jewel]

so anything between 1340 and 1457.5 will be eligible

its a TOTAL waste

[frank beacon]

1445 one you couldnt select past like 1430 though?

[rose jewel]

but you do you

[frank beacon]

[full flax]

wont I get a lot of free mats to go higher from that?

[shut pasture]

You couldn't swap after that point

[polar tinsel]

hi' i have some Q? what is good one : Weapon power 2200 vs. foe. dmg +3%

[grave widget]

since you also get a powerpass you can just pass a new character and express em up to get them to parity with ur main

[rain charm]

currently, lunar reaper, pinnacle glaivier, and striker can use KBW, glaivier, arcana, and soulfist use Raid Captain, reaper, glaivier, arcana, striker, and soulfist can ALL use Cursed Doll, almost all your classes use adrenaline (only one im not sure on is lunar reaper, she has a build option with a spec swift neck with adrenaline instead of cursed doll vs spec crit neck and cursed doll instead of adrenaline)

[rose jewel]

if you're only playing 1 character ever

go ahead, otherwise its 100% best used for a new char

[frank beacon]

if you’re already 1460 basically

the mats are legit a waste

[rain charm]

so all your classes can use cursed doll, 3 of them can use KBW, 3 of them can use RC

[frank beacon]

you wont need that much to push to 1490

lol

[full flax]

its my only char and im struggling to push tbh

[grave widget]

i appreciate teh round up, i think cursed doll does seem like a worthwhile investment then

[frank beacon]

i mean

your choice

[rose jewel]

because you only play 1 char

that's why you're struggling

and it will get worse and worse

but if you're willing to spend more time playing 1 char

go ahead

[rain charm]

yea cursed doll is ur best option for combat engraving (other than grudge obv but it's not worth)

[full flax]

Ty maybe ill make a mage, melle is hard

lol

[grave widget]

i can manage 60k gold.. eventually

better than 220k

just gotta roll one really nice accessory

[shut pasture]

It is? How so?

[grave widget]

i feel like boss patterns are easier to dodge in melee sometimes

even if they theoretically should be harder

[full flax]

Keep in mind I started last week

My thoughts are more time to avoid stuff?

idk I come from playing wow and raiding on ranged has always been easier then melle

[grave widget]

kinda true but a lot of attack patterns are kinda nnoying when ur further away

[shut pasture]

Yeah...very different kind of Raids in Lost Ark

[frank beacon]

i mean some ppl just have different preferences

[grave widget]

like vykas gate 1 is way more annoying as ranged than melee

[frank beacon]

and are more accustomed to range

its all personal lol

[shut pasture]

For starters; no aggro system and no "dedicated healers"

[grave widget]

thats why empress arcana is based

[shut pasture]

Not what I was driving at with my question.

[weak nymph]

is getting pirate coins still limited like at launch? meaning I shouldnt rly spent any coins if I want Astray?

[full flax]

thanks for all the help, great community here 🙂

[frank beacon]

i mean u said is it? like. yea. can be

i mean WoW raiding hardest mech is like

dont stand in fire

pick up orb.

[shut pasture]

I asked them how as in asking them why they think that.

[frank beacon]

i mean they play WoW so theres ur answer

[shut pasture]

Right...they said that after I asked.

Keep up, Soup.

[frank beacon]

i mean, same answer. accustomed to range

[shut pasture]

No problem. Just ask here whenever you have any questions.

[shut pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/annoyed-face-gif-25409193

[frank beacon]

[shut pasture]

Astray is sort of...if you want it. Its pretty expensive and time consuming to get

Comparatively at least, and you can get away with just at least like a lvl 7 Estoque for the most part

Astray fast, though

[weak nymph]

ye its just one of those collectible things ive always wanted, i know it aint rly necessary

but just wondering about pirate coins, because i remember when it launched i couldnt rly spend anything to get to the 300k coins, dunno if its still the same

[frank beacon]

dont waste your money on Astray

use Estoque of Eurus

legit zero point for astray honestly

its a coin dump

[shut pasture]

It can just be a matter of accumulating the Sailing Coin chests over time and then worrying about it when you have like...idk...50+ of those chests and you just convert the Sun Coins into Pirate Coins

[frank beacon]

you’ll find yourself sailing like. hardly ever to even make astray worth more than just a max Estoque or Eurus

[shut pasture]

Assuming this is just a "I wanna collect a thing"

[frank beacon]

[rose jewel]

astray enjoyer here

[amber totem]

Astray is fast nice and shiny

[rose jewel]

zoom zoom

[amber totem]

I recommend it

[rose jewel]

end of message

[frank beacon]

i mean dont get me wrong

[shut pasture]

Yeah I have it too

[frank beacon]

its not bad if youve been had it

[amber totem]

Mines at level 10 now, 2 relic, 2 leg and purple blackfang

[rose jewel]

but im also a day1 player

[shut pasture]

And hey, Trusted with Blackfang incase they ever give her an Affection update

[frank beacon]

but if youre new theres legit no point to dump all those coins

[shut pasture]

Then you can bone

[frank beacon]

into it

at all

[rose jewel]

naturally i had a shitton of sea coins sitting in my storage

[frank beacon]

it is an awful suggestion for newer ppl

[amber totem]

you got tonnes of coins over time through login and events etc

[frank beacon]

or someone who hasnt already rapport with BF and got coins heavy

[amber totem]

they can start though

I started pretty early

[frank beacon]

Estoque and Eurus are legit still super fast

[amber totem]

cos blackfang

[frank beacon]

when do you genuinely need Astray

[amber totem]

outfit

[frank beacon]

[amber totem]

you dont

[frank beacon]

exactly so why waste ur time

[pseudo atlas]

you don't genuinely need most things in this game

[amber totem]

He literally said as a collecting thing

same as me

[frank beacon]

i mean sure

[amber totem]

its just another thing to work toward

[shut pasture]

Again, Soup, keep up.

[frank beacon]

but some are definitely like. more worth

yk

[amber totem]

its ok

do those as well

[frank beacon]

astray beta

[amber totem]

level 11 next month

lez go

[shut pasture]

Just casually showing up and doing Blackfang Rapport isn't the worst idea. If its just a collection thing then they can if they want

[frank beacon]

BF just a wasted rapport

[weak nymph]

ye im stuck at blackfang rapport

requires more charisma and other thing now to continue

[frank beacon]

if you haven’t done the heart ppl, LOS ppl

etc

[shut pasture]

Can work on getting those virtue stats elsewhere in the meantime then. Can get some from doing the rapport for Giant's Hearts and some of the other higher priority rapport NPCs

[weak nymph]

ye im doing giant hearts rapports

and i do all side quests and fully clear islands before i move on

but she asks for so much of those stats, i got stuck now

[shut pasture]

Don't forget some dialogue things with NPCs can give like +1 to a Virtue stat as well

[shut pasture]

Its like 300 Charisma or something, right?

[weak nymph]

think so and its 2 stats

charisma and another one

[frank beacon]

do adventure tomes

for virtues also

[shut pasture]

^

Adventure Tome, Rapport, Una's Rep, and look at Virtue stats on costumes to try and pad it out as much as you can

[weak nymph]

its same with Sasha, also stuck on her for the giant heart, cuse she also wants 270 charisma now

lol

[frank beacon]

p sure alot of them want 310

by end

across all stats

[weak nymph]

[dreamy heath]

3

[grave widget]

is it unreasonable to just rapport bomb all the giant heart ones

[shut pasture]

Nineveh I think wants 330? Or is that Nia?

[frank beacon]

might be

[frank beacon]

nah

theyre arguably most worth

bc they all have other rewards also worth it p much

[grave widget]

engaging with the rapport system genuinely is perhaps the thing i am least willing to do in this game

[frank beacon]

you bang sasha at affection

[grave widget]

im gay

[vast oriole]

Thats why i dont have her at affection

[frank beacon]

so is she

[weak nymph]

pls gimme the charisma now 😐

[frank beacon]

Thirain also into that

[grave widget]

there are no lesbians in lost ark

[frank beacon]

r u sure

[grave widget]

yes

[frank beacon]

sasha def swings that way

my chars all female

[grave widget]

you dont think amazon has access to your facecam?

[frank beacon]

i dont own a facecam

[grave widget]

thats what you think

[analog notch]

if i buy the maid skin selection chest on shadowhunter for example, if i hold on to the chest can i use it on my slayer when released?

[shut pasture]

I don't think it even has an option for Slayer yet even on KR

Slayer is very new, I don't think they've updated those kinds of skins to be available for her quite yet

[weak nymph]

That does make me wonder, will we have any slayer skin?

[shut pasture]

Yes, of course. Her launch skin

[analog notch]

well i hope the launch skin is better than the maid skin

[weak nymph]

Whats her launch skin? Is it known? Or gotta wait and see?

Oh, is it gonna be this?

[shut pasture]

Yes

[weak nymph]

Awesome, insta buy for me

[warm flower]

Define launch skin

Like, what you can buy at launch for her?

[weak nymph]

That skin i linked above I believe

[warm flower]

I'm aware of what it looks like, I meant what is a launch skin. A default skin, endgame armor, what the first skin in the shop for her will be??

[weak nymph]

First shop skin I think

[warm flower]

Cool, thanks

[shut pasture]

The skin that the class launches with

Every class has launched with a skin that is specific to that Advanced Class

As opposed to a more generalized skin like, say, the maid ones or the Dark Omen ones

[amber totem]

Isnt that the founders skin

I hope they make some nice casual wear for her

[frank beacon]

founders skin so default

[amber totem]

soup can you post on inven board asking for more casual wear tahnks

[frank beacon]

will do

[maiden locust]

Need more noob help if possible.
I picked up the game about a week ago, decided to powerpass my first character right to the furthest it would let me so I could try some end game stuff.
Anyway I’ve been whaling a little bit and spending money in the shop honing my stuff and I come to find out there’s strongholds in the game and there’s some special honing buffs that make honing more efficient?

I guess it’s probably deserved since I skipped playing through the entire game.

My question is: is getting the honing buffs essential for honing past 19-20?
Does it increase the success chance at all or does it just reduce the overall cost of honing mats?

I’m guessing I should stop spending money in the shop and stop trying to hone until I unlock a stronghold and do that stronghold research?
Or does it really not make a difference?

I feel like a dumbdumb

[amber totem]

Hello! Don't feel dumb its easy to get lost with all the stuff the game throws at you at first.

Did you South Vern PP your character?

[rose jewel]

ye he/she did

i remember

[amber totem]

Whaling on honing mats isnt efficient

What ilvl are you now? 1460?

[shut pasture]

Its okay. As Raven said, the game throws a lot at you, especially if you skip the "tutorial" aka the early game.

[rose jewel]

i'll leave it to you guys, ima keep farming honki

[maiden locust]

[amber totem]

star rail

[timber mauve]

Do whatever you want, but just know it costs an immense amount of money to hone any noticeable amount.

[amber totem]

So the way that the honing buffs you are talking about work are for alt characters

[rose wren]

didn't hink there's honing research at 1460+

[rose jewel]

there is not

[amber totem]

when your main gets to 1460 you can unlock research at the stronghold for further characters to have reduced costs

UP TO 1460

[rose jewel]

up to 1415

[shut pasture]

1415*

[rose jewel]

for alts

main doesnt benefit from that
