Sure. That might make some games fun. But MMOs are not designed for working things out yourself

shut pasture
#

^

vast oriole
#

you can always do dungeons and raids blind

#

but its better to follow guide for your gear

shut pasture
#

And you will not know better than the people who have put hundreds if not thousands of more hours than you into learning things about said game

#

And about said class

#

Thats why you learn from them

stuck umbra
#

i dont intend on knowing nothing of the game i just dont intend on following a guide to the point where i basically go around doing what yt tells me

shut pasture
stuck umbra
#

the best option obviously being looking for good stuff and experimenting around with it untill i find something that fits me

stuck umbra
radiant flame
#

🤷🏻‍♂️ you can do what you want but just understand that if you do not have a some sort of meta build you will just be griefing people you play with

stuck umbra
#

All im saying is following some chart on google docs wont make the game fun for me

radiant flame
#

That’s if they even want to play with you

stuck umbra
shut pasture
#

Hm.

radiant flame
#

Because you will quickly get bored in lost ark

shut pasture
#

What MMORPGs have you played?

fossil sonnet
#

thanks but i meant for a main, like does it unlock anything new?

stuck umbra
shut pasture
stuck umbra
#

as long as i can escape the meta its what i will do

radiant flame
#

Lost ark - and all mmos - are all about playing around meta builds

shut pasture
radiant flame
#

You cannot escape the meta

shut pasture
#

That isn't how a large number of MMORPGs work.

#

Jsut the nature of the beast

radiant flame
#

vast oriole
#

i mean technically, he can play reflux sorc that is less meta than igniter xD

#

or fpe

stuck umbra
#

Is deathblade even a meta class?

radiant flame
vast oriole
#

yes

radiant flame
#

I play Swift tth

vast oriole
#

if you dont want to play a meta class, play sharpshooter

radiant flame
#

Which is super “off meta”

shut pasture
#

If you don't follow a meta build for your class (and to be clear in Lost Ark every class is viable and used so that isn't a concern) then you will be exceptionally ineffective at doing any of the endgame content

vast oriole
#

or soulfist

radiant flame
#

But it’s still a meta build

shut pasture
#

Every class is "meta"

#

They are all used

stuck umbra
#

nah i will stay deathblade its kinda fun

#

can i change my ingame gender by any chance?

vast oriole
#

no

boreal sentinel
#

no

#

gender is tied to class

shut pasture
#

Some less than others, but they all do everything they need to do in content

stuck umbra
#

the way my character works makes me sick ngl

shut pasture
#

So long as you use the right builds

radiant flame
#

Please just understand that the meta defines lost ark. You cannot play endgame content effectively on your own off-meta setup

stuck umbra
#

my guy no need to highlight your text

radiant flame
#

You will literally be holding your group back

shut pasture
#

For instance, you try to play DPS as a Paladin? Nope. Even when built for it they, numerically, do not hit anywhere near the same kinds of numbers that actual DPS classes do

shut pasture
boreal sentinel

#

You're not being attacked here, I'm just trying to relay to you the reality you're walking into.

stuck umbra
#

im aware haha

#

Im trying to convince myself as of right now

#

Is the meta atleast somewhat enjoyable ?

shut pasture
#

Yes

radiant flame
#

Yes

vast oriole
#

yes

radiant flame
#

If you enjoy the game

shut pasture
#

Very much so

#

Big numbers, flashy moves

stuck umbra
#

well then I suppose its worth a shot

vast oriole
#

i think you have more fun playing meta than some weird build

shut pasture
#

Utility

radiant flame
#

People play lost ark to play lost ark

shut pasture
#

Your build will feel good to use

vast oriole
#

at least you will feel useful

stuck umbra
radiant flame
#

And you cannot play lost ark without a working build

vast oriole
#

ye but elden ring isnt mmo

slow drift
#

any Summoner main here ?

vast oriole
#

its not the same

stuck umbra
#

didnt say it was

radiant flame
#

You will 1. Do no damage and 2. Not get into any groups

vast oriole
radiant flame
vast oriole
#

but you can still ask your question

radiant flame
#

Just go onto Reddit

#

And look at all the gatekeeping posts

#

And that’s from people with meta builds

stuck umbra
#

Well as long as soul absorber is used for deathblade meta im giving it a shot

vast oriole
#

it is

fossil sonnet
#

guys who should i make for 1460 express

stuck umbra

Great

The Ultimate Deathblade Infoset

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

fossil sonnet
#

i need something that wont be gatekept surely

vast oriole
#

than a support

fossil sonnet
#

i wanna park it at 1460

vast oriole
#

will never get gatekeep

fossil sonnet
#

but supports are overfilled at 1460

vast oriole
#

they arent

pseudo atlas
#

maybe if the last time you played was artist release

fossil sonnet
#

i would make an artist

#

but too expensive

vast oriole
#

you have engraving support for it

#

and you only need 4x3 for artist

shut pasture
#

4x3 is decently cheap, too

floral saffron
#

bros a lil prankster

radiant flame
vast oriole
#

theres no more support overfilled at vykas since slayer release

radiant flame
#

And that

stuck umbra
#

wtf is this doc

fossil sonnet
#

ok

stuck umbra
#

I took uni tests easier to understand than this thing

fossil sonnet
#

i will make an artist

#

how different is she to pally?

stuck umbra
#

just from seeing the doc i think im gonna quit this game bruh

radiant flame
#

Then quit if you don’t think you’ll enjoy it

floral saffron
#

bye ❤️

stuck umbra
#

its too complicated for my brain to handle

vast oriole
radiant flame
#

None of us want to waste your time 🤷🏻‍♂️

#

ARPGs, and especially MMOs are all about in depth mechanics and systems

fossil sonnet
vast oriole
#

artist feels easier to play than bard

shut pasture
stuck umbra
#

Ill take a break for some elden ring. see you soon prob]'

shut pasture
#

It becomes easier to understand once you actually learn more about the game and what things are.

stuck umbra
#

?

vast oriole
#

yes

shut pasture
#

To most MMORPGs, yes.

#

Elden Ring is even similar with all of the everything in it

stuck umbra
#

elden ring is so much simpler

vast oriole
#

because youre used to it

shut pasture
#

^

stuck umbra
#

how long do you think i played elden ring bro

radiant flame
#

And also because you won’t get critiqued in a single player game

stuck umbra
#

not too long at all

shut pasture
#

You played other souls games before it?

#

or other RPGs really?

stuck umbra
#

Yes

fossil sonnet
#

is there a good way to get superior oreha fusion materials?

shut pasture
#

Seems simple to you, but there was undoubtedly a learning curve when you first started playing the standard systems/mechanics you might find in most RPGs

stuck umbra
#

thats true ig

#

how much time would it actually take to reach later stages in the game?

#

what yall call endgame?

fossil sonnet
#

years bro

#

better off waiting for 1580 powerpass tbh

shut pasture
shut pasture
#

I know you're just kidding, but its a genuine question and I'd rather they get a real answer.

vast oriole
fossil sonnet
#

well

stuck umbra
fossil sonnet
#

i'd say its a about a year to catch up

shut pasture
#

Anyway, realistically it might take a week give or take to go from just starting the game to T3 content

shut pasture
fossil sonnet
#

you think

#

from 1460

vast oriole
#

way less than a year since theres powerpasses and hyper express

fossil sonnet
#

its less than a year to 1580?

pseudo atlas
#

yes

shut pasture
vast oriole
#

yes

fossil sonnet
#

playing 6 characters every day sure

radiant flame
#

the game has only been out for just over a year

shut pasture
pseudo atlas
#

it's been less than a year since 1460 even existed in any attainable state

shut pasture
#

^

fossil sonnet
#

nah i dont believe it

#

im only 1490

#

and ive seen the costs needed for when you reach like 1540

timber mauve
radiant flame
#

and from 1490, 1510 is free

#

1540 is pretty easy

fossil sonnet
#

you're still gated

#

time gated i mean

timber mauve
#

Slowly pushing to 1560 then 1580 shouldn’t take too much time.

shut pasture
# fossil sonnet im only 1490

Well here is a spoiler, when you transfer your relic gear into brel relic gear the pieces go from 1490 to 1510 in ilvl

pseudo atlas
#

when's the content you even need to be 1580 for?

#

it's not in the game yet

timber mauve
#

Akkan

fossil sonnet
timber mauve
fossil sonnet
#

you dont get all piece straight away

vast oriole
#

its still not one year

#

its a matter of weeks

fossil sonnet
#

matter of weeks to get to 1580?

shut pasture
fossil sonnet
#

???????

vast oriole
#

to get pieces to get 1510

fossil sonnet
pseudo atlas
#

1580 is not a realistic or useful goal, it's not "a few weeks" but it's not even close to a year

radiant flame
#

idk why you are arguing against us. we're not challenging you to get to 1580 in a week

pseudo atlas
#

1540 is much more attainable and useful and also attainable fairly quickly

radiant flame
#

we're just saying 1580 doesn't take a year

shut pasture
radiant flame
#

if you actually wanted to get there

pseudo atlas
#

if you're limiting your roster to one character only then yeah it might take a year to hit 1580

fossil sonnet
pseudo atlas
#

you don't need to play 6 characters every single day to take advantage of alts existing

fossil sonnet
#

as a new/returning player to get alts to brel costs a lot

vast oriole
#

you dont needs alts to brel

shut pasture
fossil sonnet
#

you have to stop honing on main to do that

pseudo atlas
#

you don't need alts to be at brel level either

vast oriole
#

1460 is fine aswell

radiant flame
#

^

#

you can just funnel gold

shut pasture
#

You don't need alts, and running more and more alts and higher ilvl alts is actually more costly than just pushing a single character anyway

radiant flame
#

and buy mats with gold

#

there are a number of things you can do

shut pasture
#

Alts are an investment, a big one, that do not pay themselves back in any short period of time

fossil sonnet
#

alright realistically

pseudo atlas
#

1460 pays itself off pretty quickly i think

fossil sonnet
#

how long is it to reach 1580

shut pasture
pseudo atlas
#

well yeah of course we're talking about now

radiant flame
#

if you made 3 alts in t3 = 1 story express, 2 powerpasses

pseudo atlas
#

rip to everyone who honed 1460 immediately before honing nerfs

vast oriole
#

i think you can get 1580 by akkan, so in august

shut pasture
#

But pushing higher than 1460 is going to spike the cost investment significantly

radiant flame
#

i reckon you can get to 1580 in 2-3 months

fossil sonnet
vast oriole
#

depends how much you pity tho

#

yes

shut pasture
fossil sonnet
#

i pity all the time gg

radiant flame
#

if you really wanted to

#

and played your 3 alts well

#

and were smart about your resources

vast oriole
#

yeah i pity all the time too and im 1580 since 2 weeks

fossil sonnet
#

i just wanna do brel hm tbh

shut pasture
#

You don't need to do HM Kayangel this month immediately anyway, NM will still give gold

pseudo atlas
#

so then you don't need to be 1580

fossil sonnet
#

what ilvl is nm kayangel?

radiant flame
#

brel hm isn't even 1580

vast oriole
#

1540

radiant flame
#

1540

shut pasture
#

1540

fossil sonnet
#

oh is it 1540?

shut pasture
#

Which is very attainable

vast oriole
#

yes

shut pasture
#

Yeah, HM is 1580

radiant flame
#

1540 is easy af from brel

fossil sonnet
#

yea but thats still like a month away

radiant flame
#

it's what, +15 average

vast oriole
#

its 15 yes

shut pasture
pseudo atlas
#

isn't kayangel like next week

radiant flame
#

whats your actual question lol

vast oriole
shut pasture
fossil sonnet
#

idk tbh i just wanted to know how to get superior oreha materials and i got sidetracked

radiant flame
#

do life skills

#

or buy from market

pseudo atlas
#

same way you get basic oreha mats

fossil sonnet
#

yea but the way i did it before

#

was buy the crafting mats on market and then craft them

#

but that aint cheap now

radiant flame
#

you can do the same

fossil sonnet
#

fish was like 10 gold now its 400 gold

radiant flame
#

ok

#

well the orehas will cost that much too

pseudo atlas
#

the price changes don't mean that suddenly different ways to get the orehas have appeared

radiant flame
#

its called market fluctuation

#

its almost like, if you fished yourself, you have the option of selling the raw fish...

shut pasture
#

Can just run your farm and craft them from stronghold mats

fossil sonnet
#

damn they shouldnt have banned bots

#

life was good

radiant flame
#

sure. and people will just complain abotu 30k grudge books

shut pasture
#

We just have KR similar prices now, it was bound to happen eventually

radiant flame
#

people will find something else to complain about in the market

fossil sonnet
#

so what do you think i should do?

#

hone all my alts to 1460?

radiant flame
#

learn to excavate

vast oriole
#

well what i do is, doing guardian raids and sell leaps
buy superior oreha

radiant flame
#

1460 is free

#

so yeah probably

#

if you want to play them

vast oriole
#

not the best thing but im lazy to life skill

shut pasture
#

1460 doesn't cost gold, but might still be a slight investment with honing materials still

radiant flame
#

anyway someone was saying on a stream eawrlier today

vast oriole
#

boost your bard to 1460, u wont get gatekeep while doing valtan and vykas

fossil sonnet
#

well i need to make gold

vast oriole
#

will give yo way more gold

radiant flame
#

if you feel like you are forced to do something to play a game you dont want to play

#

dont play the game

polar epoch
#

how long are twitch drop coming? shouldnt it be like instant?

fossil sonnet
#

i like legion raids so i dont mind doing them on most chars

shut pasture
radiant flame
#

so the question is what do you want to do with your alts

#

if you dont enjoy playing the alt dont play it

#

if you want to do raids with them then hone

shut pasture
#

Mhmm

radiant flame
#

that's how simple it is

shut pasture
#

I have multiple alts I don't touch

#

They just sitting there

timber mauve
#

I only touch slayer

#

Pun intended

shut pasture
#

...

radiant flame
#

youre not going to magically enjoy your alts because we told you to hone them to 1460

radiant flame
#

and yeah, you're going to "have" to do dailies on them to make them worthwhile

#

and do raids

vast oriole
#

just do things on them rested

radiant flame
#

and have to gear them so they dont feel shit

#

and thats a lot of effort

#

question is, do you want to put that effort in

#

thats it really

#

if theyre truly alts you know exactly what its going to be like at every ilvl

fossil sonnet
#

ive got a bit of gold to do so

radiant flame
#

1460 yeah you can do vykas hm but its on ilvl - do you have friends to carry you

#

or will you have to wait for on ilvl parties

#

etc etc

fossil sonnet
#

well

#

im a support

radiant flame
#

then sure

fossil sonnet
#

surely they just let me in

radiant flame
#

probably fine

vast oriole
#

well, dont be rainbow stats and in dps and its should be fine

fossil sonnet
#

i wouldnt do that

vast oriole
#

so youre fine

#

you can always do a second pally if you prefer pally over bard

fossil sonnet
#

if it comes down to it i'll just throw my title and hope that gets me in

#

nah i'd rahter play something different

vast oriole
#

laugh in 5 bards

humble pulsar
#

srry if this is easily googable knowledge, gear transfer of 1490 gear to brel nm gear goes to what ilvl? 1510?

fossil sonnet
#

games too repetitive to play the same classes imo

humble pulsar
timber mauve
#

laugh in 6 slayers

humble pulsar
#

thanks! then is upgrading +12 onwards more painful than getting to +20

vast oriole
#

no

radiant flame
#

no

vast oriole
#

its way easier

timber mauve
radiant flame
#

it's like 10/5/5/4/4/3/3/1.5

timber mauve
#

It gets pain when you try to go over +20 on Brel gear

humble pulsar
#

ahhh back to normal rates

#

thanks for the info!

#

so getting to say 1540 isnt too bad?

vast oriole
#

no

radiant flame
#

no

timber mauve
#

Nah, it’s not bad at all.

radiant flame
#

pretty easy

#

you even have books

humble pulsar
#

i guess my next goal is to get to 1490 for my main after my alts are all 1460 ready

#

as for the new dungeon coming out next week, is it part of the 3 gold thing weekly

timber mauve
#

Yes

radiant flame
#

yes

vast oriole
#

yes

timber mauve
#

Beat y’all to it PepeLaugh

vast oriole
#

im boomer

#

not fair

humble pulsar
#

aahhh what a shame

#

so guess rushig to 1540 isnt rly a big plus

timber mauve
#

It’s great

shut pasture
#

No, not what a shame.

vast oriole
#

what is your main ilvl ?

humble pulsar
#

how much gold does it drop

shut pasture
#

Its great.

timber mauve
#

Then you don’t have to do Brel

shut pasture
#

^

#

Kayangel giving gold and taking up one of your 3 weekly gold rewards is a good thing

humble pulsar
shut pasture
#

Cuts down on the homework

timber mauve
#

Isn’t it like 5.5k gold?

#

Or am I high?

shut pasture
vast oriole
#

well 1475 to 1490 is still a big chunk of gold and leaps so yeah, good luck XD

shut pasture
#

61k gold on average

#

from 1460 to 1490

#

So 1475 maybe...40kish? Ballpark.

humble pulsar
#

yeh, its prob a month till i get 1490

#

in no rush to get to brel i guess

vast oriole
#

do you have lvl 2 set completed?

humble pulsar
#

but if less ppl do brel that would be sad

#

no i do not, is that important?

shut pasture
#

Naw they will still do Brel

humble pulsar
#

i only started reaching 1475 this week and cleared clown

vast oriole
#

well, you can take your time for brel

#

ok good

#

i mean 1540 people were doing brel hm anyway so doesnt impact brel nm

shut pasture
#

A lot of people will still do it because they'll just cut out one of the other legion raids they don't want to deal with

#

for gold that is

#

Brel gives enough gold that people will still do it cuz "min/max"

humble pulsar
#

nice! i look forward to doing it

#

is brel considered the most annoying raid

timber mauve
#

Yes

#

It’s just long

vast oriole
#

its annoying because its long

timber mauve
vast oriole
#

6 gates

humble pulsar
#

but mst gold is in 1-2?

vast oriole
#

i just do 1-2 or 1-4 on my alts

#

yes

timber mauve
#

Most people at very late game prefer clown since it takes like 15 minutes.

humble pulsar
#

i see

timber mauve
#

Overgeared clown is great while vykas not so much.

shut pasture
#

yeah Vykas can be annoying still

timber mauve
#

Since clown you can skip like 90% of the fight.

humble pulsar
#

ive enjoyed all 3 legion raids i played so far so much

#

especially learning them with mentors

shut pasture
#

Vykas G1 kinda most annoying...

vast oriole
#

brel is fun, just long XD

shut pasture
#

Which is why its done on NM

vast oriole
#

i prefer brel 1000 times over clown

humble pulsar
#

clown 1-2 seems quite easy but 3 is chaotic

vast oriole
#

i got jailed way too much times on clown

#

ptsd

orchid willow
#

eh clown is pretty easy if know mechs

timber mauve
#

I actually like clown. Just skip maze and m3/4.

orchid willow
#

easier than brel

vast oriole
#

clown on ilvl without cleanse wasnt the most fun i had

humble pulsar
#

im going to try pug groups next reset with my 1475 bard, will ppl generally accept that without title?

orchid willow
#

they dont

#

unless its a sup

#

then maybe

timber mauve
#

Bard sounds like support Susge

orchid willow
#

dps is los 18-30 req/title lol

vast oriole
#

yes they accept

#

theres supp shortage

#

as long as u have yearning

#

and no rainbow stats

#

its good

humble pulsar
#

yeh proper build just no 5x3

vast oriole
#

no need

#

youre not a dps

humble pulsar
#

is 5x3 improant in brel for supps?

vast oriole
#

no

timber mauve
#

Tbh, there really isn’t a large benefit to going 5x3 on support.

vast oriole
#

^

timber mauve
#

Like almost unnoticeable

orchid willow
#

i dont have to max engravings on artist i just gona roll with 4 engravings

timber mauve
#

Sure, vph or some shit may be nice, but eh.

vast oriole
#

im 4x3 +2 on all my brel alts

#

it doesnt matter

humble pulsar
#

as someone with 5 bards and 1pala i do enjoy playing supp

#

how is artist as a support compred to both bard and pala in terms of fun

radiant flame
#

vph is really useful on a supp

#

especially in brel

orchid willow
#

i prefer artist cuz of healballs and quick shields

#

big shield with V

vast oriole
#

i enjoy a lot artist

#

if it was in game release, i wouldve done 3 bards 3 artists

orchid willow
#

id make 1 of each sup

#

i created 2 spots for sups only lol

#

deleted my dps

#

they lvl 300-400

humble pulsar
#

i plan to make an artist one day and replace one of my 5 bards one day

#

complete the support trinity

vast oriole
#

can replace it with aero powerpass i guess

orchid willow
#

tho i seen some artists that never did any healballs or shields often

#

gota be good at playing regardless if its sup or not

humble pulsar
#

yeh, i plan to use the aero powerpass on an artist

#

thanks for all the ans everyone! appricate it a lot as a new player!

vast oriole
#

no worries

orchid willow
#

if ur good with clown lets say, u can get title asap by doing it on each character

#

it counts toward title but proycon w/e it is goes away

#

duno how much dmg/dmg reduction it gives

rose wren
#

ave artist, im not great sup, been fun

candid lake
#

or the other way around

orchid willow
#

;o

rose wren
candid lake
#

i forget which is which

orchid willow
#

no wonder ppl want los 18-30

#

dps going to go down considerbly after proycon dissapears

rose wren
#

new players only arent they?

vast oriole
#

we didnt have procyon when clown came and it was fine without

#

people had lwc12

#

they just want to rush clown, thats why they ask for more

humble pulsar
#

wait, what is procyons prot

candid lake
#

gives you dmg and dmg red in the raid

#

for 10 runs

humble pulsar
#

ahhh, does it apply to everone i nthe group?

vast oriole
#

no

rigid plank
#

per person

humble pulsar
#

ahhh, not much dps increase for me then since im just a supp xD

orchid willow
#

10 runs apply to roster

vast oriole
#

its still dmg reduction

#

quite good

humble pulsar
vast oriole
#

for the fire

humble pulsar
#

illl be getting my 10th clear for both vykas and valtan this reset though so im looking forward to that!

vast oriole
#

shoyld be fine since you probably have heavy armor

#

tanky enough without the buff

humble pulsar
#

valtan vykas is rly fast now, since my 1475 can sneak into higher ilvl lobbies as a support

shy chasm
#

At 1490 it becomes card runs PepeLa

rose jewel
#

all ayayas, including me, did that the first weeks, but there were a trillion of them on release week

#

it was a bloodbath to see who got in

faint pagoda
#

yeah i didnt make an ayaya back then

humble pulsar
#

for this growth boost does it last forever?

rose wren
#

hyper express only unless u mean stronghold

humble pulsar
#

seems to apply to +16 onwards

vast oriole
#

hyper express is till +18

humble pulsar
#

does this apply to chosen gear

vast oriole
#

yes

humble pulsar
#

ahhhh i see thank you so much!

rose jewel
#

remember we have permanent nerfs and then hyper express smol buffs

#

i wanna say the only hyper express buff he has there is the +5%

iron zephyr
#

can someone recommend me a calculator so i can cut this stone for my 5x3, i just needc a 7/6 stone and I need help

rose jewel
#

basic maths

#

high chance push yes low chance push no

#

a calc wont magically give you a perfect stone first try

#

rng is rng

wheat swan
#

I always turn on "Probability mode". That way you can specify your exact goal it should aim for.

rose jewel
#

and now watch him get the 7/6 first try and come curse me

wheat swan
iron zephyr
#

nope

#

failed

rose jewel
#

then he will depend on the calc forever and ever and

#

oh

#

lol

vagrant veldt
#

i got 9/6 first try with calc

frank beacon
#

calculators are so bad

#

cut all my 9/7s winging it

#

fk calculators

iron zephyr
#

what percentage do u stop cutting the blues one

#

at

#

45% or 35%?

rose jewel
#

any you like

frank beacon
#

neither

#

trust the gut

#

i hit 25% blues

#

legit ngl

iron zephyr
#

i dont have a gut

#

surgically removed

frank beacon
#

most people will tell you. dont trust the %s at a point

rose jewel
#

are you feeling naughty? go for extra taps

#

are you not feeling it? stop at 45~

vagrant veldt
#

tbh your options are to either trust the calculator and do exactly as it says or just press buttons until youre done

frank beacon
#

its same thing

#

ngl

#

either way

radiant flame
frank beacon
#

calc is legit a mental thing

rose jewel
#

literally what i said at the start

#

"basic maths"

frank beacon
#

p much

rose jewel
#

but its probability instead

frank beacon
#

honestly

#

your own instinct is better

#

calc will tell you to not risk shit

#

when it might be more worth risking

radiant flame
#

But yeah, if you want a good stone you will need to facet multiple 45s

rose jewel
#

my instict gave me a 10/8

#

and yes 10 on the reds

frank beacon
#

tru

#

good

vagrant veldt
#

i mean the calculator figures out exactly how worth risking doesnt it

radiant flame
#

People cutting 9/7 aren’t going to use a calculator for 1000 stones

frank beacon
#

i mean

vagrant veldt
#

like the probabilities arent difficult theyre just annoying

frank beacon
#

every 9/7 i did

#

i started calc

#

then threw it out the window

#

and sent 25s on blue

vagrant veldt
#

I guess that's fair if youre shooting for 97

#

probability under .1% anyways

frank beacon
#

idk if its that low

faint pagoda
#

0,04

radiant flame
#

It is

vagrant veldt
#

unless the calc guy made a mistake its exactly .07%

radiant flame
#

It’s a bit higher because you can get a 10/6 like I did

#

But 10/6 is harder

#

So overall it’s still under 0.1

i used my hyper express 1 on my main (berserker) and already at 1445. Should I use the hyper express 2 on my main for only 1460 or do an alt (shadowhunter) from 1370 to 1460?

mint knot

could someone help me with lvling pass?

mint knot
vast oriole
#

no its powerpass

#

or knowledge transfer

mint knot
vast oriole
#

which one

mint knot
#

or soo i heard

vast oriole
#

powerpass ?

#

are u trusted

mint knot

what does that mean?

vast oriole
#

?trusted

sage duneBOT
atomic tide
mint knot
#

i dont even know anymore

#

did i f myself cuz i used story express on main?

rose jewel
#

and about "main or alt", up to you, do you want an alt parked much higher much faster or juice your main even further

mint knot
#

but not sure wht to do

rose jewel
#

i am answering dasc

shut pasture
#

@mint knot Story Express is for new players to breeze through 10 to 50 and T1 and T2 content. Power Pass is a completely separate thing. However the only way you would fuck yourself over is if you used a Power Pass on your character with the Story Express active on it.

rose jewel
#

paper is helping you

atomic tide
#

true, its just i would only be able to juice main from 1445->1460, so was asking if it was better to do an alt from 1370->1460

mint knot
shut pasture
rose jewel
atomic tide
#

gotcha, thx for info

rose jewel
#

or, again, for an alt to reach the zerk faster

#

more gold generation, more raids to do in a week (which is the main selling point of the game)

shut pasture
#

But @mint knot I need more information. So you used Story Express on your Reaper, then you made a Slayer which you want to use now. How far are you with the Reaper in the Story Express? What continent did you get to?

vast oriole
atomic tide
#

okk think ill go that path, thx for the tips

mint knot
#

where u fight in tournament

vast oriole
#

anikka

shut pasture
# mint knot im 46 with reaper and im on tht japanese or chinese continent

Okay, well honestly continue with that character. Get through the Story Express in its entirety. When you get to the end of it you'll be able to get the currently still available Punika Power Pass from the Artist release by doing the Berver's Friend quest in Nia Village in Punika. With that you'll be able to boost your Slayer up to 1340 ilvl without needing to manually run story again, or use a Knowledge Transfer on it.

mint knot
#

any idea how long it will take with slayer to complete?

shut pasture
#

You still have until June 14th to get that Artist Power Pass, plenty of time.

#

The Power Pass is going to boost your Slayer to where the Story Express is going to bring your Reaper

#

So you'll have two characters 1340 ilvl in a very short period of time

#

Also you can't transfer the Story Express to a different character, also you can't recover it if you delete the character that it is currently active on

vast oriole
#

and use shift+G

shut pasture
#

So I suggest completing it on your Reaper

mint knot
shut pasture
#

And then use the Power Pass, which is an instant level 50 boost and gives 1340 ilvl, on your Slayer when you get it

mint knot
#

sounds awesome 🙂

would any class use this?

woven pond
#

So I'm at Anikka- twilight mist but when i checked my adventure's tomb i can't find foul hollow on the dungeon list any body know why/what im doing wrong

modest sleet
#

not every dungeon is required for the adventure tome

woven pond
#

ah so i dont have to do both normal/hard version unless i just feel like it / main quest

modest sleet
#

yah some places have more dungeons and other things not required for adventure tome, and some places have dungeons that you dont do in main quest that are required for the adventure tome

#

you will prob end up doing it for mokoko seeds or food items though

woven pond
#

that's good to know

#

also i take it i cant ugh...triport if im not on the same continent as where i'm trying to go?

hallow nebula
#

is brel considered a demon or a humanoid? for the bonus damage on books

modest sleet
woven pond
#

😅 i don't know what either of those are

#

at the port of every contient there is a guy who lets you ride a boat to other continents

drowsy sluice
#

Somebody mentioned something about fusing these, but where do i do that?

modest sleet
modest sleet
#

you can unlock them to level up your skills, look in your skill page and under each one you will see a lvl 1-5

#

go to the tripod vendor in a major town and try your luck at upgrading them

#

"transfer skill tree" is the vendor

drowsy sluice
#

I was about to ask lol

#

Oh i dont have sage powder

faint pagoda
#

sadge powder

vast oriole
#

use them only for lvl 5

modest sleet
#

you dont need it, it just upgrades the % of success

#

i only use them for lvl 5's

drowsy sluice
#

Ahh

#

Let me make sure i understand

#

Waitr

#

Okay, so if i try for this one (which i wouldnt because im not using that skill, but stay with me) I would have a 25% chance to increase the level of that skill... ehancement? to level 4

#

Which increases the scaling?

modest sleet
#

correct

drowsy sluice
#

Im assuming I can only make one attempt per amulet

modest sleet
#

also correct

#

it consumes the amulet

drowsy sluice
#

So i should focus on skills and enhancements im actually using

modest sleet
#

yes

drowsy sluice
#

Now

modest sleet
#

you can actually track them so it has a little icon ontop of the amulet when you pick it up so you know its a good skill

drowsy sluice
#

What can i do with an amulet that has no skills that i'm using?

The Ultimate Berserker Infoset

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

drowsy sluice
#

What does that give me?

modest sleet
#

dismantle or try your luck upgrading a random skill, maybe one day your build changes

drowsy sluice
#

Not that i don't trust you, I'm just wanting to understand

modest sleet
#

dismantle i think for silver or to get out of inventory lol

drowsy sluice
#

Theres no limit of "You can only have so many enhancements at level 5" right?

#

If i get lucky i could get all of these leveled up?

modest sleet
#

I usually try my luck on them all with no powder, just cause you never know what build will change

modest sleet
#

correct, u can lvl every skill

drowsy sluice
#

Cool

modest sleet
#

but you can only do 1 from each amulet

#

out of the 3 choices

drowsy sluice
#

Yeah

#

Okay

#

Thanks!

#

I think I understand fairly well now

modest sleet
#

make sure u track them to

#

skills -> settings -> track ur tripods

vast oriole
#

track the ones that are most important

#

the list should be on the guide

drowsy sluice
#

kk

woven pond
#

wait so when i die chuo's health goes back to 100%

shy chasm
#

the world boss?

woven pond
#

i think so

shy chasm
#

world bosses have a reset timer

woven pond
#

yeah but like i was fighting died and now it's back up to x23 bars of health

shy chasm
#

but they earlier ones can be ignored tbh

#

only really important ones are tarsila, moake, hermut iirc

pseudo atlas
#

you're not intended to solo those things at ilvl, and since very few people are making new characters and also doing that content it's just dead content you come back to when you can solo it

rose jewel
#

if you are alone and the boss has no one to aggro to, it resets

#

iirc

rose jewel
woven pond
#

ah

#

well someone else showed up but i think they were trying to do the quest. but its okay i made them the target everytime they tried to run away xD

copper shoal
#

you don't have to claim guardian orbs inorder to get the runes right

vast oriole
#

No

drowsy sluice
copper shoal
rose jewel
#

no, you only can pick the highest one, picking a lv2 or lv3 or lv4 if you have lv5 is literally a damage loss and you just plain dont want that, like why

rose jewel
#

no

#

there are no secret strats or shennanigans

drowsy sluice
#

8 skills

#

3 tripods per skill

rose jewel
#

lv1 doesnt takes you a slot of the 18

drowsy sluice
#

you can only have 18 tripods above level 1 equipped

rose jewel
#

and no, its not 5+5+5+3

#

its 18 tripods at whichever level

drowsy sluice
#

Right but like

rose jewel
#

nope

#

dont over think it

drowsy sluice
#

LISTEN TO ME

rose jewel
drowsy sluice
#

If i unlock level 5 on flame slash, but I already have 18 other tripods that are leveled

#

Can i drop one of the other ones to level 1

#

So i can use the flame slash tripod

rose jewel
#

no

#

i saw it coming

#

do you see the 18/18 above?

#

that means you have NOT selected a tripod ABOVE LEVEL 1

#

lv1 tripods do NOT take a slot of the 18 available

drowsy sluice
#

I UNDERSTAND THAT

rose jewel
#

only lv2 and above takes a slot

drowsy sluice
#

I already have 18 other tripods that are leveled

#

FOR THE SAKE OF THE DISCUSSIOn

rose jewel
#

yeah you can have them leveled

drowsy sluice
#

Because as you're explaining it

rose jewel
#

but if you pick them at lv1

#

it does not take a slot of the 18

drowsy sluice
#

Okay

#

So then the answer is "yes"

rose jewel
#

you literally can have 30 lv5

#

but only pick 18

vast oriole
drowsy sluice
#

I guess i could have just leveled flame slash and found out for myself 🙃

rose jewel
#

i think the issue here is the question being not very specific

#

Shadewolfe — Today at 6:54 PM
If i unlock level 5 on flame slash, but I already have 18 other tripods that are leveled

#

you can have them leveled

#

but if you dont pick lv2 or above

drowsy sluice
#

I should have specified "Selected"

rose jewel
#

you can pick whatever skill to fill the 18 allowed

#

yeah kind of

#

so i went with what i understood

drowsy sluice
rose jewel
#

every tripod in existence is at base lv1

#

again, they dont take a slot

#

and if you have 18 already leveled and picked

#

you can keep getting more lv5 tripods, but you can not pick more than 18 at the same time (lv2+)

#

i kind of already explained it an hour ago or so

drowsy sluice
#

My misunderstanding was whether I could select level 1 for one that i've unlocked level 5 for, for example if i want to change my build

#

Which obv i can

rose jewel
#

yeah, you can pick lv1 or whatever the highest lv of the tripod is

#

so if its lv3 max, lv1 or lv3

#

that's how you switch builds

drowsy sluice
#

👍

#

Also i saw somebody mention something about like a roster skin storage?

rose jewel
#

as you can see in that lv2 one

#

yeah, storage npc on any city

#

or pet menu

#

if you have aura*

drowsy sluice
#

Hm

#

I see one for personal storage

rose jewel
#

the tabs under that

#

like, at the bottom, there should be tabs

what should i pick from [event] metallurgyL welding selection chest II

tender roost
#

I finished hyper express 1 on my character so am sitting at 1445, should I push to 1460 with the chosen gear set given?

#

and if so what do I do afterwards

rose jewel
woven pond
#

@rose jewel is different skill levels of welding

rose jewel
#

yeah, the books, no?

#

there are like... purple books, orange books, red books and white books

#

they each work for different kind of gear

#

to know which you can use just go to the hone npc and check to the right

rose jewel
tender roost
#

so farm a relic set + raids and then transfer the honing when i get +20s?

rose jewel
#

hone transfer to relic as soon as you get the relic

tender roost
#

oh ok

rose jewel
#

you can start doing so right now

#

BUT if you have the mats to hone to 20, go ahead

#

you lose nothing

tender roost
#

or same price

#

i think i need to farm a yearning set for my bard

rose jewel
#

that is why i said like 2 or 3 times "you lose NOTHING"

#

same price, same chance

tender roost
#

oh gotcha

#

thank you

#

will work on the set

rose jewel
#

yeah yearning is what makes supports good

#

and

#

i wanna believe you're new in the world of lost ark right?

#

(the game)

gaunt valley
#

i thought the purple balls were supposed to charm u? not push you into the boss and kill u weird

rigid plank
#

what difficulty is this? my assumption is normal

gaunt valley
#

it's hard

south bane
#

So i did the quest for borza merchant, how do i ''equip'' him in the stronghold?

rose jewel
#

you research him

#

like you research anything in the stronghold

rigid plank
#

the only thing that pushes you during yellow mech is a 3rd person going into the yellow half spheres

#

purple balls charm mokokoHmmm

#

and i dont recall them doing push for hard

rose jewel
#

then, after the research is complete, the next merchant in your stronghold will be 100% guaranteed to be borza, then after that its 100% random he comes or not

rigid plank
#

or rather I think you got charmed and then somehow walked inside with some special kind of immunity from being charmed shruge

gaunt valley
#

oh wait now I see

gaunt valley
#

someone did walk in right as i got hit as well

rose jewel
#

then you really really want to get into a learning party

rigid plank
rose jewel
#

for that, there are some discords specialized on that

gaunt valley
#

could be both who knows

rose jewel
#

if you go in blind and wipe the whole group for not knowing the wipe mechs, you gonna get insta kicked (not before yelled at and probably insulted)
