The research you get at 1460 makes honing up to 1415 easier

maiden locust
#

Ahh okay. So I didn’t waste any money yet.

I would have had I tried honing on alts first.

rose jewel
#

its not money wasted, you always improve your char in one way or another

#

skins improve looks

#

true endgame

warm flower
#

It respect my time more than lost ark would if your horror stories about spending a whole month to get +1 honning are anything to go off

rose wren
#

costume always endgame lol

amber totem
#

depending on what you are doing you take your time in lost ark

#

always

#

rushing will simply cost you money

rose jewel
#

and sanity

shut pasture
rose jewel
#

3 months and then you break your armor c:

shut pasture
#

Gear drop and gear upgrading systems accomplish the same thing just in different ways, but ultimately they are very similar in terms of upgrade pacing.

warm flower
#

I wonder how grinding in lost ark compares in grinding to stuff like wow or ff14

amber totem
#

at least with the honing system we can get a lucky one tap here and there

shut pasture
#

You don't grind in Lost Ark

rose jewel
#

everything is daily/weekly gatekept

#

you cant really grind

#

unless of course

amber totem
#

Theres enough side content to keep you busy when you are finished your daily or weekly stuff

rose jewel
#

you got for the 23 alts route

#

and by that time you are no longer human

warm flower
maiden locust
# amber totem depending on what you are doing you take your time in lost ark

I feel like I have to get those weekly lockouts done so since picking up the game, I’ve been focused basically solely on learning Valtan and Vykas, and when I’m not in the raid or watching youtube guides, I’m honing or doing something else, and I feel like I’m missing like 98% of the game, but I feel like I’m already starting behind by picking up the game so recently that I need to catch up and get to like 1560 asap

amber totem
#

like

#

getting to 1560 is months away

shut pasture
amber totem
#

like 4+ months

rose jewel
#

that was the lil' issue we talked about about purchasing the latest pass

warm flower
amber totem
#

I find them fun still

rose jewel
#

yeah you dont get the early experience, but sooner or later you go back to farm the stuff you needed or just missed

amber totem
#

it'll be better when there is 1 instead of 2 daily

shut pasture
rose jewel
#

you do one thing at a time

#

focus on vyk and valt for now, that's your vertical progression path

maiden locust
amber totem
#

Stop fomo

shut pasture
#

Those are your daily tasks type things, the real endgame content is Legion Raids

amber totem
#

right now

rose jewel
#

then later when you beat them (its once a week so) you can go back on trying to hunt for horizontal stuff

shut pasture
rose jewel
#

you're not gonna be trapped at legion raids forever

rose wren
#

im behind because there r so many toxic gatekeeper

amber totem
#

You started a week ago and want to be 1560 already?

rose jewel
#

sooner or later you will beat them and you have the rest of the day/week free

amber totem
#

people at 1560 have been playing for a year

warm flower
#

It's unfortunate that no one will do the lvl 3 and below gaurdian raids, all the content in this game looks cool

rose jewel
#

then you can explore the world a lil

amber totem
#

You could drop ~5k USD and MAYBE you would be at 1560, but no gurantees

#

just slow down

rose jewel
#

go hunt stuff for adventurer's tome, life skill whatever, beat the tower and etc

#

one thing at a time

#

you were thrown into endgame in an mmo

rose wren
rose jewel
#

take your time

vast oriole
#

tower ew

dreamy bluff
#

do i lose my gear xp when i gear transfer or do i just waste my shards again to fill it up again

rose jewel
#

depends on which gear you transfer to

maiden locust
amber totem
#

yes

rose jewel
#

a bit, but that's not bad

amber totem
#

MMOs and especially lost ark are meant to be played long term

rose jewel
#

it means you like the game

dreamy bluff
#

im talking about this thing. does it go back to 0 if i craft my anciant armor

rose jewel
#

but if you wanna do everything asap

#

then you'll get burnout

#

and bad things happen

astral root
#

You only get to experience raids your first time once

warm flower
#

It's funny, the only fomo thar exist is caused by the players from what I understand since there's no sunsetting, the only way to miss out on content is taking too long that no one will do it with you and you have to solo so either you catch up to ride the wave or you try to catch up to where everyone is hanging out. That's my take from the handful of guides and critical videos I've seen about lost ark at least

astral root
#

Enjoy the journey instead of worrying about the destination

rose jewel
dreamy bluff
#

ok thank you

pseudo atlas
#

if the base ilvl is different then exp and artisan doesn't transfer

shut pasture
dreamy bluff
#

i had my chest piece already juiced so i didnt want to lose that when i craft my anciant armor piece

rose jewel
#

if it didnt you could just have transfered another piece anyway

shut pasture
rose jewel
#

unless you had 5/6 already

dreamy bluff
#

i guess thats also true

warm flower
#

Is the global version ever gonna catch up to the kr version?

rose jewel
#

never will

dreamy bluff
#

no

#

translation take time

rose jewel
#

and you dont want it to happen

shut pasture
amber totem
#

even the launch of akkan and what not is very short

#

compared to what they had

#

such little time to prepare

warm flower
dreamy bluff
#

everyone want to catch up then they will all quit because they dont want to keep doing the same raid for 4-8months until the next raid comes out. i doubt amazon and SG want all their players and money makers to quit

rose jewel
#

i mean we already have lowre numbers compared to before

#

thus they finally realizing they need to change something

#

thus the letter

rose wren
#

people left FF after new content is done and return repeat

rose jewel
#

also that

dreamy bluff
#

alot of people already did quit because raid release was apparently too slow. imagine what will hapend when we catch up

warm flower
pseudo atlas
#

it's not impossible for global to catch up to kr, but it depends on how ags wants to handle it

astral root
#

When Asmongold quit FF player counts took a nosedive lmao

maiden locust
#

Also thanks for the help.
I had to google the definition of fomo. Was surprised not to see a picture of myself next to it.

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys smilematsuri blushshy shy

rose wren
#

asmon boring

rose jewel
#

asmonwho

pseudo atlas
#

streamers do not have that much power over a video game

#

take a few steps back man

warm flower
shut pasture
astral root
#

Yeah and after that all the Aether data center worlds opened up lmao. Asmongold caused the game to spike in shadowbringers during an actual dedge content cycle

#

But I digress

rose wren
#

its sad that new player base isn't stable again, i see 'em about but they aren't doing content

warm flower
#

I mean, I spent 3 hours trying to get into a data center with the new player benefits cause it was full, so I think ff14 is doing a-okay

astral root
#

Ff14 also has had way more years of service to build up their base and they're releasing stuff even slower

warm flower
astral root
#

It depends on how lucky you get with honing

rose jewel
#

faster than not having it for sure

astral root
#

Boosted express rates are actually like 2x honing rates

#

It's actually insane

heavy apex
#

can u still skip rohendel on alts ?

shut pasture
heavy apex
#

sadge

#

can u recommend the kt path

#

like which i should do and which i should knowledge transfer

rose jewel
#

1k gold vs 1:30hrs of questing

#

questing gives you combat exp

pseudo atlas
#

you do whatever you want and you kt whatever you don't want to do, or you wait for powerpasses

#

like the one next week

heavy apex
#

another question is their a way to make alts same lvl as main or just grind as well

rose wren
#

ilvl or 60?

heavy apex
#

60

rose wren
#

training camp in stronghold, boss rush/etc give big chunk too

astral root
#

Always watch out for the homies and fomo

frank beacon
#

takes a while and only gets to 59 but

#

1000% faster than legit obvs

shut pasture
# heavy apex 60

Just use the Training camp, it will level the alts AFK up to 59

heavy apex
#

yea thx

frank beacon
#

when do we get

#

second training slot

#

madge

shut pasture
#

I'd assume...after Elgacia?

frank beacon
#

we dont even have jt

#

it

#

yet

shut pasture
#

Idk, it says the research you need but I haven't seen it anywhere

frank beacon
#

neither here either

#

LOL

rose wren
#

doesn't aura give u +1?

frank beacon
#

nope

#

only the expert training

#

option

rose jewel
#

it gives faster training

shut pasture
#

That tells me the files are visibly in the game, just hidden from players

#

For some reason lol

frank beacon
#

the second slot isnt in the game at all

#

well like paper said

rose jewel
frank beacon
#

it is. but its not acquirable

rose wren
#

wacky

astral root
#

Stronghold level 100 update

frank beacon
#

astral root
#

Please look forward to it

frank beacon
#

#

yall have the like

#

crafting skins thing in codex

#

but u don’t actually have the skin crafting

rose wren
shut pasture
#

Yeah, its got a null value or a "false" value

frank beacon
#

yeee

#

it says you get it by skin crafting

#

and then it has a prerequisite quest

#

but no materials or anything

#

so dumb

hollow scroll
#

no bozos jar naesad

#

some low tier default skins are chefs_kiss and we cant make them

frank beacon
#

i want bunny ears

#

on western

#

but u STILL cant craft them

rose wren
#

is it worth trying to sell end/ex/do? recent price tab show some insane prices sold

#

bunny ear exist

shrewd lichen
#

For adventure tomes, do I need to kill world bosses with rewards available?

frank beacon
#

yes only one time

#

after one time its not available again

rose jewel
#

no you dont

amber totem
#

The bunny ears are on my dropped paladin Sadge

frank beacon
#

u can kill them for no reward

#

counts for tome

rose jewel
#

if you just want the entry on the adv. tome you dont need for it to be with rewards

shrewd lichen
#

Thanks.

frank beacon

vast oriole

frank beacon
cold vine

shy chasm
frank beacon
#

cold vine
#

ok wahoo

#

i wanted to 5x3 red gunlancer but

rose jewel
#

you will get gatekept for whatever stupid reason the host wants

frank beacon
#

p sure

cold vine
#

l.one night class accs

vast oriole
#

only supports get gatekeep nowadays

cold vine
#

#

no one sells them

#

#

its insane

shy chasm
#

ye the last one we got had 4 im asking if slayer's comes with 5

cold vine
frank beacon
#

#

1460 kr did

shy chasm
#

ic

rose jewel
#

the hosts dictates your destiny

cold vine
#

i see

rose jewel
#

if the host doesnt like whatever he sees he will deny you

vast oriole
#

get good skin and you will never get gatekeep

frank beacon
#

always accepted

cold vine
#

i like mokoko skin and animal skin

#

because theyre funny

vast oriole
#

i refuse every nude skins

cold vine
#

i would swipe for them bc i like them so much

frank beacon
#

yea ur screwed

frank beacon
cold vine
#

hehe

#

they need to add funny skins u can swipe for then

#

i am not wearing a serious outfit in a mmo

frank beacon
#

all my characters look like whores so

vast oriole
#

maid outfits > nudes

frank beacon
#

maid too default atm

#

maybe in a few months

cold vine
#

mokoko suit #1...

rose wren
#

im not a fan of high heels

frank beacon
#

ngl tho

cold vine
#

i need another mokoko suit box

#

for afro mokok

frank beacon
#

im capping @vast oriole most of my chars are

#

hs school outfits esc LOL

vast oriole
#

yeah i still have school outfit on one XD

cold vine
#

also if i want a hard to play high engagement alt for my last alt when 1490 powerpass comes out

frank beacon
cold vine
#

is enhanced weapon deadeye gatekept or not rly

#

assuming i can game on it

frank beacon
#

baby brel horns bc they look sm better than hm brel horns on women

#

imo

cold vine
#

bc its either that or soulfist or at scouter

#

or reaper

#

but deadeye kinda looks like the most fun

#

since reaper trims the cool movement skills for more gauge gen once ur good at it

#

andn why would u play it without the cool movement skills

shy chasm
#

and its pretty good

cold vine
#

ok

#

i remember hearing way back before launch

#

that it had a floor pov reputation

#

and no one wanted to play with them

#

is it better now

shy chasm
#

thats just bad players Susge

cold vine
#

hehe

#

ok neat

shy chasm
#

only thing smoge about deadeye was pistooler im still yet to see someone play it but it got buffed

cold vine
#

yea i want to use shot gun

#

so i have 0 intrerest

rose wren
#

gunslinger has 1

cold vine
#

yea but it isnt a melee class

#

and i want to play a melee class

#

i mean its not fully melee but u know

#

i want positionals and a range requirement

shy chasm
#

oh

vast oriole
cold vine
#

at scouter doesnt have those but drone micro makes up for it

#

and same w eo soulfist hype management

#

i just want my last guy to be kinda hard to master and weird

#

if that m,akes any sense

frank beacon
vast oriole
#

see, better that than nudes

frank beacon
vast oriole
#

took the toast on artist XD

frank beacon
#

love the toast

#

so cute

vast oriole
#

yesss

frank beacon
#

did u take the egg toast

vast oriole
#

no

#

i dont eat eggs, im vegan

rose wren
#

vegan doesnt exist, if u really think about it

frank beacon
vast oriole
#

then idk

#

didnt think about it

paper phoenix
#

How do i get a group for raid here?

#

Or ask

rose jewel
#

otherwise the same but for east

paper phoenix
#

So i am to craft demon gear from legion craft and fuse it with the one i got from story express?

rose wren
#

yea, start at 1445

paper phoenix
#

Should i wait until i have it all the set so i dont the bonus from having the other set?

#

Or should i start doing 1 by 1 as i get them

rose wren
#

slowly switch over, 2piece bonus → 4 so on

paper phoenix
#

Ty

shut pasture
paper phoenix
#

So just keep honing?

shut pasture
#

For the time being, yeah.

#

What ilvl are you currently?

paper phoenix
#

1415

shut pasture
#

Then yeah, keep honing and get to 1445 at minimum to start trying to do Valtan Hard Mode and Vykas Normal Mode. At 1460 you'll be able to do Vykas Hard Mode.

Those are the Legion Raids you need to do so you can acquire your Relic set.

#

What class are you playing btw?

paper phoenix

odd condor
#

Morning, can i combi quest event with hyper express event?

frank beacon
odd condor
#

ye

frank beacon
#

yea you can do story express & activate hyper on same character after

odd condor
#

ouh

#

i thought i activate story then hyper and i finish both xD

shut pasture
#

Just don't try to skip through the Story Express with a power pass or knowledge transfer. Can't do that, you'll lose rewards.

frank beacon
#

nah hyper has a minimum level required

#

so you have to do story express first to hit the minimum for hyper

#

then activate hyper

shut pasture
#

^

odd condor
#

so i have to do the whole story again?

frank beacon
#

yeppp

odd condor
#

bruh

frank beacon
#

can’t skip it

odd condor
#

what is

#

when i accept the story event

#

and use the punika pass i still have?

#

xD

shut pasture
#

Can't loophole it

#

It is not meant for veterans to "exploit" essentially

#

Its a new player thing

odd condor
#

:/

shut pasture
#

The rewards aren't even that good if you've been playing for a while

odd condor
#

i think i just do it i comeback after 7months or smth

shut pasture
#

It deposits you at 1340 ilvl

frank beacon
#

you dont need to hone again

odd condor
#

want to do it with the slayer then

frank beacon
#

you get given all the gear

#

so just need to do the story is all

#

not as bad as it sounds

odd condor
#

ye but it takes soooo much time xD but okay im in parental leave so

shut pasture
#

15-20 hours from 10 to 50 at worst, then another maybe...5? 6? hours up to South Vern

#

Shift+G helps

#

Instant skip through dialogue instead of needing to spam G

odd condor
#

uii

#

is that new? xD

shut pasture
#

Yup

odd condor
#

imagine u hit the story 10x and then they add this

shut pasture
#

Most people just KT'd characters or waited for a power pass tbh lol

What's the easiest ship to build for dispatch missions?

maiden locust
#

hey guys, im lvl 50 destroyer through the powerpass, i LOVE this game, but im scared at the UI telling me to do everything with my destroyer, I have no idea what to do or how to get where. due to this im not playing the game hardly, but im willing to give it a go! halp 🙂

shut pasture
tawdry yoke
#

I just need to build 1 more

#

For my last slot

shut pasture
#

There is no best

tawdry yoke
#

Not sure how to do that though

shut pasture
#

The dispatch missions change their details every day

tawdry yoke
#

Or i guess just wondering how do i even build a new ship?

shut pasture
#

You need to build one for yourself, like one you actually sail with

main barn
#

My game been crashing since the most recent update any suggestions?

shut pasture
shut pasture
maiden locust
#

in general. yes

#

🙂

shut pasture
#

Alright well power pass was probably the worst course of action because as you've seen the game throws a lot at you

#

I would recommend making a new character activating the Story Express on them so you can manually progress up to level 50 to acclimate yourself to things and so the game can introduce things to you as you go along as opposed to all at once.

maiden locust
#

i did gunlancer lvl 50 legit

#

but thats it

shut pasture
#

Ah, okay. So you have leveled manually

maiden locust
#

yes

shut pasture
#

So what ilvl are these characters you have?

maiden locust
#

uh....not sure, im downloading the game as we speak

#

destroyer i can do some dungeons but i struggle BAD

shut pasture
#

Well you said you power passed your Destroyer. Was it a purchased one or one of the free ones you got likely from having leveled your Gunlancer?

maiden locust
#

no i bought mine

shut pasture
#

Do you remember which one it was?

maiden locust
#

i bought it for 20 bucks i think

#

this was about 6-9 months ago

shut pasture
#

So you are just returning, i.e downloading the game again, and you're saying you were having issues doing things on your Destroyer?

maiden locust
#

well i had no idea what i was doing. I saw alot of pop ups on my UI and screen notifications I was like huh? I dont even know where iam in the game I cant figure anything out. This is why im thinking of starting over and picking another class, like beserker, is the girl version out yet?

#

I havent checked in on lost ark in months, i decided to see whats up this week, like this past monday 😛

shut pasture
#

Alright, well Slayer (female zerker) is coming out this coming Tuesday.

#

So if you're looking to just start fresh and want to play Slayer that might be the best time to do it

timber mauve
#

May 10 Slayer time POGCRAZY POGCRAZY POGCRAZY

maiden locust
#

ok is she better than zerky?

#

like does she have beserker wrath thingy?

shut pasture
#

If that is the intention then I would highly recommend using what is called the Story Express on her and manually going from 10 to 50 again, and the Story Express will expedite the entire process going through T1 and T2 up to T3 and 1340 ilvl.

maiden locust
#

and can stay in beserk mode permantely

Below you can find a comprehensive list of useful information for the Slayer class. This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you a good idea of what to expect from the class.

shut pasture
#

Use the guide

maiden locust
#

what exactly has happened in the game in the past 9 months?

timber mauve
#

Memoizer has a good guide on both if you’re looking for a YouTube.

maiden locust
#

I used to play korean server back in beta but that was years

shut pasture
timber mauve
shut pasture
#

Yup

maiden locust
#

see im intimidated completely

#

Reason why is because I have a steam deck

shut pasture
#

Are you concerned about catching up?

maiden locust
#

and cant play it on there, I have no time to play like 6-12hrs on my desktop

#

yeah 😦

shut pasture
#

Just play at your own pace

maiden locust
#

ok

#

I`ll probably play like 1hr a day

#

🙂

shut pasture
#

If you want to start fresh and learn and progress go for it, don't worry about catching up to the people who haven't stopped playing the entire time. They are irrelevant to what you're doing.

maiden locust
#

true, they sweaty lol

shut pasture
#

Mhmm

odd condor
#

but u still need 8 ppls for the raids 😄

shut pasture
#

Will still be relevant when Voldaik releases

#

There will always be groups

odd condor
#

ye i know, but for me its hard to get a guild i can play with cuz of my family etc. but thats personal

#

10 years back no problem

shut pasture
#

I get it

#

Can be rough

#

Which is why hopefully a Discord that some content creators are working on opening actually helps alleviate those issues. But we'll see. It isn't open yet.

odd condor
#

ye we will see 🙂

midnight nimbus
#

will you be able to use 1460 power pass on a character that's already like 1445?

timber mauve
#

there is no such thing as a 1460 power pass

#

but you will be able to use the 1460 express event if that's what you're asking

#

the rewards will be given retroactively.

midnight nimbus
#

sry yeah I meant express event

rigid pebble
#

What are some good specs that are cheap but very good

#

cheap as in a cheap 5x3 and accessories but also performs very well

timber mauve
#

There are none

#

All the highest dps classes are expensive because they’re good.

#

All classes perform rather well tho.

rigid pebble
#

Well i primarly mean engraving cost because on some classes buying a x12 class engraving is more then your accessories alone

timber mauve
#

Hmm, I think destroyer is cheaper to build tho? Idk. I don’t play it.

rigid pebble
#

i play it its not super cheap with accessories but books are about 50k then you prob pay another 50-70k for accessories

#

im mainly asking about cheap for an alt

timber mauve
#

Dаmn, that’s cheap.

rigid pebble
#

yea thankfully its not insanely expensive its a nice mid range

timber mauve
#

Relative to something like sorc, striker, surge, etc… that’s really cheap.

rigid pebble
#

if you buy 5x3 class accessories tho holy fuck is it expensive

#

its like 100k a piece

timber mauve
#

I mean… prolly not.

#

Unless you’re trying to buy all class acc for some reason.

rigid pebble
#

That's what i meant but obviously you'd just buy the 50-60k worth of books and have x12 class x9 other or x12 other

#

it's way cheaper that way

timber mauve
#

But yeah, there aren’t really any cheap but top dps classes for obvious reasons.

#

Just play whatever you like. Though, I’d advise against transformation classes.

rigid pebble
#

im deleting my shadowhunter atm so im trying to find a new class to boost with the pass coming with slayer

timber mauve
#

Just boost slayerweird

rigid pebble
#

i was thinking either slayer,arcanist,WD

timber mauve
#

Highest dps in the game weird

maiden locust
#

questionfrogthink so I have the story express event on a alt character, if I use my vern powerpass on it will I get the rewards with the story express event by doing that or will it not let me do that, cause yk I want the easy way out of it ngl

rigid pebble
#

Im thinking of that as well because i could get lucky and get omega money off tripod rng

timber mauve
rigid pebble
#

because in reality i wont play anything end game but my destroyer

#

but eventually im gonna have to push up alts

maiden locust
timber mauve
#

Just make more destroyers if you really like destro.

rigid pebble
#

i cant make a 2nd destroyer

#

i dont have mokomoko skin money

timber mauve
rigid pebble
#

I could boost one of my already had characters obviously as well

#

zerker/pally/sharpshooter

timber mauve
#

Just juice whoever you like.

pale cairn
#

does solo / match making story dungeons have different exp?

rigid pebble
#

that's kinda my issue i dont know who to juice because im not making alts for fun i'm making them because you "have to" and to be efficient

timber mauve
pale cairn
#

ah ok thank you

rigid pebble
#

i have to

pale cairn
#

and is there any exp buff other than the wings

rigid pebble
#

its how lost ark is

timber mauve
#

You want to

rigid pebble
#

It is a requirement

timber mauve
#

Not really

rigid pebble
#

if i ever want to play on pace i need alts

timber mauve
#

Just make more destro weird

pale cairn
#

Crystalline Wings

timber mauve
#

Idk what you want me to say, bud. This isn’t something I can read your mind and decide for you.

rigid pebble
#

no of course not

#

im just asking for suggestions on what others find fun to play and arent the most expensive in the game and are still good

timber mauve
#

Gunslinger WICKED

rigid pebble
timber mauve
#

Specially peacemaker gunslinger.

rigid pebble
#

What about deadeye

#

isnt enhanced weapon really good?

timber mauve
#

Never played it. I refuse to make a male class.

#

But yeah, EW is good.

rigid pebble
#

you choose your class based on gender?

timber mauve
#

Yes

radiant flame
timber mauve
#

I play this game for fashion.

rigid pebble
timber mauve
#

Gross

rigid pebble
#

WOW

timber mauve
#

But yeah, what RFP said.

#

If you’re looking for efficiency because you feel the need to make alts… make the same class as your main.

radiant flame
#

Otherwise it’s also about getting stuff that won’t require as much investment/won’t get gatekept

#

So, supports

#

Playing this game at maximum efficiency is maximum dull

#

Honestly I can’t imagine logging on to doing raids on my 6th bard

timber mauve
#

I can’t imagine playing support at all… so I don’t. I just play how I like hehhh

rigid pebble
#

is

#

the express story pass worth doing

radiant flame
#

Nothing against people that want to play this way, but this is why most of us suggest making alts for fun

radiant flame
rigid pebble
#

what is new

#

like how new is "new"

radiant flame
#

Someone who has never been to t3

rigid pebble
#

wtf is t3

#

oh

#

nvm

radiant flame
#

Anything beyond that, it’s just a waste of time. 20 or so hours for some card packs

timber mauve
#

Boutta run it on slayer hmmz

#

Free south Vern power pass basically.

radiant flame
#

You’re not just going to use the PP?

timber mauve
#

Imma use that too

radiant flame
#

Ah…

#

Yeah I guess I could do that

#

You still get the final SV reward right

#

From story?

#

And it doesn’t stop you from using hyper or anything?

timber mauve
#

I’m making two slayers

#

Pp on one and story express on the other.

radiant flame
#

Oof should have seen that coming

#

But I could do what I say right? Pop story express and just get the final SV rewards?

#

Im not using it for anything else

timber mauve
#

You could do that

#

But I’m a sweatlord with too much time and want the exp.

#

I also don’t mind the story, especially if that means I get to play with slayer and look at all the different starter armors on her. hehhh

#

I’m the very definition of filthy casual, just happen to know more than average about the game.

radiant flame
#

how do you have time for all this and gacha games i don't understand lol

timber mauve
#

I play gacha at work.

radiant flame
#

lol

timber mauve
#

Hardware tech, so lots of downtime.

radiant flame
#

true

#

maximum efficiency 😄

pure nacelle
#

Wednesdays powerpass allows new players to completely skip the story right? Or am I misunderstanding.

timber mauve
#

It sure does sound like it’s gonna be given to everyone.

radiant flame
#

if you have trusted yeah

vital shard
#

what is the best way to exchange the coins nd stuff to get conviction/judgement from stronghold merchant?

radiant flame
#

what do you mean best way

#

there's...one way

vagrant veldt
#

If you see the rune in your shop then you buy it

vital shard
#

idk if theres anythign more efficient than swapping everything i have to that kind of seal

#

LOL

#

also need to find someone who has Marte in their stronghold because i don't have south vern tome yet Sadge

haughty wharf
#

I thought u don’t get rewards if u use pass or KT

timber mauve
#

You’ll still get the gear and such from each completed (not skipped) checkpoint.

dreamy heath
#

im 1100 just started punika on story pass. Should I be doing una tasks or just finish punika and south vern ?

balmy plank
#

You can do Una's as any point

#

Rewards scale to ilvl tho. If for some reason your eyeing very specific Una's that reward leapstones, you could hold off an hour or 2 till your done Punika to get t3 rewards instead of t2

timber mauve
dreamy heath
#

i recall it gives some other materials , pirate coins / maybe gold ? so just thought maybe i should be doing them as totally forgot. I seem to recall there's certain ones that are best to do and you set biofrost at certain place but I cant remember what tasks they were / where so just googling it atm

timber mauve
dreamy heath
#

yeah ive just seen im lopang inc level 4 so guess was doing that on my old character, imaging lvl 4 gives some good reward hence why i was focusing it

#

although 1-3 seems to just be silver

timber mauve
#

Lopang is done just for silver.

dreamy heath
#

oh lol

timber mauve
#

Endgame, you’ll need tens of millions to hone your gear.

#

But early game, you need leapstones more.

dreamy heath
#

i get t3 for completing punika so think its prob a waste to do una for leapstones, is it worth just for pirate coins? im not sure how much that currency does

timber mauve
#

No

#

You don’t get pirate coins from una tasks.

#

You see, you’ll be given 1340 gear from story express.

#

You’ll be manually honing that gear to 1490.

#

Then do some raids… then hone it to infinity and beyond.

dreamy heath
#

awesome, thanks for the info

timber mauve
#

You technically can get pirate coins from una, but they’re one time reputation rewards.

Hi, I'm new to lost ark and I'd like to know if it's normal that I can't find any pvp games. I've been trying to join games for several days but I can't find any.

timber mauve
rigid plank
#

It's also off season PvP rn, new season starts next update this Wednesday

supple shoal
#

so to get trusted status they say this if i add 5 euro to steam and then buy csgo skin (so i can send it to my main account and get some money back) using the market do you think it will work?

cold vine
#

u can just add it to ur wallet im pretty sure

#

no need to buy skin

supple shoal
#

this way i lose only about 20% (steam fees) if i wanted to convert back to bank money would be around 30-40%

cold vine
#

i see

hollow scroll
#

i wish i switched earlier

warm flower
#

For the quest Finding the Arks, do I just, sail around and explore islands?

timber mauve
#

Last ark isn’t in our version yet.

warm flower
#

Oh

#

Then what quest chain am I supposed to follow?

hollow scroll
#

should have a guide quest to take you to next continent

warm flower
#

The blue earth thing?

#

I'm currently helping a bunch of makoko's and I'm shrunken

hollow scroll
warm flower
#

Epic

slow bloom
#

does anyone know if I use the 1445 express on one character can I use the 1460 on the same character?

dark mica
#

probably no

#

but why would you waste express like that

midnight nimbus
#

Today in Valtan, I died to:
2x people silencing the whole raid before 3rd counter
3x enrage with <4 people alive since beginning of ghost
1x stuck in purple-bar while people run away
3x people hitting into handle

Is this just typical at 1445 nowadays? Been 1 or 2shotting the last couple months, so idk if just unlucky today

dark mica
#

seems right to me 😄

#

1445 is the bare minimum for valtan hard so you are getting in with mostly new/bad players

#

ofc im not saying that every 1445 party is incompetent

cloud pendant
#

is the event una finished?

rigid plank
#

Not yet, should be gone on May 10 update

cloud pendant
#

how come i cant do?

#

it says completed but i havent done yet

shut pasture
cloud pendant
#

oh

#

do they have different tasks?

shut pasture
#

You should be able to find it by searching the word candy after making sure youre searching by All Available tasks and by task name

#

It has the same rewards its just a different task now

cloud pendant
#

ok thank you

orchid willow
#

if we combine 3 annihilate gems toghther result will be annihilate?

wintry oxide
#

I might be a bit slow, but what does 4/3, 3/4, and 5/2 mean?

orchid willow
#

never seen a 3/4

#

when ppl say those numbers their refering to engravings

#

max is /3

wintry oxide
#

I was looking at some build guides and noticed those

wintry oxide
#

one sec

#

yes

vagrant veldt
#

Build guides generally are a mix of skills

wintry oxide
vagrant veldt
#

For example on Glav that's the mix of red and blue skills

wintry oxide
#

ohh gotcha

vagrant veldt
#

In this case the mix of red/blue skills that you max

#

Ah backwards colors

#

idk read the guide to know whats what but its about the mix of ability colors in most build guides

The Ultimate Glaivier Infoset

Below you can find a comprehensive list of useful information for the Glaivier class. This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you a good idea of what to expect from the class.

plain peak
#

how long until the daily reset in na west?

balmy plank
#

in 2hr 45 min if it resets at 6am. 17 minuted ago is regions have a global daily reset time

fluid inlet
#

Is it worth getting ancient armor pieces first or go for ancient weapon first?

fading dome
#

hone weap = weap first no hone weap = armor first

#

if u transfer to ancient weap first without honing it ur literally griefing

alrighty

#

thank you

regal nymph
#

regarding the Bus system - why is it 1200 to do valtan yet 12k to do the the clown one - what does it give that is worth that price - anyone know ?

shut river
regal nymph
#

so i can just skip it basically and go straight for 1490 ?

balmy plank
#

Solo bus with 7 customers vs a 3 man bus with 1 customer. The 12k gets split per driver so. Clown is more complex/specialized and can require some help from the passanger. Clown bus is still way over priced if you ask me tho

#

You can skip clown for now and go to Brel. but you will need to do clown eventually

#

You get trumpets to upgrade your set bonus to lvl 2 and thats manditory for further progression

regal nymph
#

yeah im not complaining about price - just wondered if it was worth paying it seeing as im certain it gives same rewards as Valtan besides a clown flag i think

shut river
#

Honestly you can skip clown buy a brel bus if you get gatekept there and push to 1500 on one brel piece then do clown if its hard finding prog lobby

regal nymph
#

argg didnt know about the trumpets

balmy plank
#

Just go to Brel. Overgear a bunch and learn Clown proper

shut river
#

Not many players doing clown on i lv these days

regal nymph
#

i just hit 1475 but its a killer as trying to get everything to level 20 is a nitemare

#

hope it calms down a bit when i hit 1490 as fed up relying on artisan energy to upgrade

does anyone know how to get oreha golden carp?

lavish groveBOT
#
The Ultimate Striker Infoset

Below you can find a comprehensive list of useful information for the Striker class. This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you a good idea of what to expect from the class.

balmy plank
#

It will. a +20 piece converts to +12 and it goes back to 10% odds for honing. You also automatically go up 3.33ilvl for every piece you convert to brel

balmy plank
regal nymph
#

phew cheers brandon - i will suffer on 🙂

livid thistle
#

nah but i mean the one in the stronghold

#

for oreha fusion material

balmy plank
#

Yea, you have to lifeskil for fish mats. If you mean the stronghold varients of the likeskil mats you need to get them from the farm only

#

You will be bottlenecked in your stronghold farm tho and youre limited to how much your farm produces a day

livid thistle
#

yeah ive gathered the farm for like 3 days already and still have 0 golden carp

regal nymph
#

i just buy it from the market - never made oreha yet

balmy plank
#

You can exchange farm mats from 1 type to another. but the conversion is an awful rate. Theres a vendor to break down mats into dust then recraft new mats with the dust

#

They said they arnt trusted, Cant buy yet

regal nymph
#

no idea about trusted - never heard of it - i just presumed everyone can use the market

livid thistle
#

nah u cant unless u pay money or wait for months

regal nymph
#

ive never even spent one of them blue coins u get 🙂

balmy plank
regal nymph
#

neons or whatever they called

livid thistle
#

okay thanks ill find him

#

theres no golden carp here tho only solar carp

balmy plank
#

Golden/Solar are the same. Golden is from lifeskills, Solar is from stronghold. Both can be used to craft fusion mats but they cant be mixed and matched

#

If you want Golden you have to fish. You craft from lifeskill under the "special" tab. If you want Solar, is from the farm and you have to craft from under the "stronghold" option

#

You cannot mix & match lifeskil mats and stronghold mats for crafting

livid thistle
#

yeah i have the farm in my stronghold but I never get it from it

balmy plank
#

Then you have to wait. Maybe you get some tomorrow or maybe not

livid thistle
#

oh so its just low chance

dreamy heath
#

ive just hit 1340 for completing punika with story express. do i start honing now, or do I get another set from doing south vern ?

livid thistle
#

it gives honing stuff

balmy plank
livid thistle
#

it gives you chosen gear i think

dreamy heath
#

its given me this

#

if that helps

#

not sure what hyper express does

balmy plank
#

You an hone to 1445 now

#

At 1445 you will craft your relic set from Valtan & Vykas raid mats

dreamy heath
#

so do ienable hyper express for my 1340 ? i mnot really sure what it does

balmy plank
#

You can. It will help you hone to 1445. you get a lot of rewards

#

You get rewards for honing to certain points 1370/1400/1415 etc etc. You can preview the rewards for each step. You get a big reward package at 1445 too. Lots of very good stuff

Hello. I have a question about powerpass. If someone answer it, I would be really happy. I used mine on wardancer. Now another one is coming with Slayer. Will I get a second one?

balmy plank

scorn isnt worth it or is it?

vagrant veldt
balmy plank
#

Scorn is poopoo. Challenge foes are like the mini bosses in chaos dungeon. It has no effect on raid bosses

solemn sonnet
balmy plank
#

It used to be you had to complete a continent 1 time to knoledge transfer 1 time and it took 8 hours

solemn sonnet
dreamy heath
#

sorry im getting confused. now im 1340, do i hone the gear ive got. or should i do some dungeon to get new set ?

vagrant veldt
#

what set do you have

dreamy heath
#

chosen

#

from story express

vagrant veldt
#

You will probably hone that until you get Relic gear (valtan/vykas HM raids)

dreamy heath
#

a guide says get preordained/beast/entropy for striker. i see i can get preordained once 1370 from creaft abyss equpment?

Guys. What is your opinion on having Grudge on accessories instead of as a legendary engraving? I'm building my Taijutsu Scrapper and i'm wondering how to proceed. Currently 4x3 with aroud 50k gold (purple tai and grudge books) and want to get to 5x3.

balmy plank
#

The guide is outdated. Preordained is Argos gear and it's a sidegrade. Beats set is useless

vagrant veldt
solemn sonnet
# dreamy heath chosen

It requires Great Honor Leapstone. You can't get that from 1340 ilvl content. So you have to push yourself I guess. I had same problem with my wardancer

radiant flame
#

The only problem you may have is that if you go for other classes you might need different books

radiant flame
#

You can convert normal leaps to ghls

vagrant veldt
#

I certainly had that issue

#

Oh that is fair lmao

#

Personally I just figured it was worth the 100 or so gold just to break the barrier

ornate lantern
#

quite a pickle

radiant flame
#

Idk I wouldn’t think too hard

#

I don’t have grudge books

#

I’d just focus on trying to progress at least one character to doing brel

#

So whatever makes that easier

vagrant veldt
#

It's technically possible to figure out exactly what would be cheaper but since accessory availibility is at the whims of the auction house it's probably not important

dreamy heath
vagrant veldt
#

Yes

When is the last week of naruni race event, so i dont for get to change to silver

ornate lantern
#

This is the last week, i believe.

dreamy heath
#

i wish there was a way to skip honing animations xd

ornate lantern
#

There is, but it involves a lot more clicking.

fickle crystal
#

its just 2 clicks

dreamy heath
#

oh, do you just click "chat" then click back to "gear honing" ?

fickle crystal
#

doesnt really matter which one as long as its not the one ur in

ornate lantern
#

You do what you normally do, and then at the "check results" option, you click on "Special Honing" on the bottom.

#

that'll skip the animation but it'll put you on the special honing menu, and you need to go back to the honing menu after.

#

More clicking but no waiting.

is it worth to riase your alts from 1415 to 1445 for silver?

hey there guys, is there any news on developers merging the servers or transfering accounts progress to another server?

Region merges don’t exist

they mentioned something about region merges in the letter

radiant flame

You can’t transfer server yet

i want to move from eu west to eu central but there's really disappointing thing where you lose all your progress

Got a question for the math nerds. How much damage do crit/swift based classes actually gain from maximising stats? I know a little more spec for spec classes can make a big difference but not sure about crit/swift (I imagine tiny ammounts), In this case Tai scrapper.
