that's why i always throw it at the back, if people are there good, if they are in front of him or in narnia, fuk them, they deserve to die
I wonder what they'll do with the "jump-start" servers. Seem like a noble goal to address the exact problem we're talking about.
But are those servers even gonna have enough players to have a functional economy/matchmaking?
Lol
people in my guild are saying they did the same thing with new world, and it failed misserably, in the end they offered a server transfer to one of the normal servers
So this is a west only thing that koreans don't have right?
i guess its cool so you can enjoy akkan with some friends
but in the long run it's kinda useless
i think so?
i never heard of those servers in kr
Yeah I can see that. I don't see how it can work if it's what I think it is.
tho they aren't booting up another server, it be in existing from how i read it
from what i understood, it's a totally new server within each region
they will have a much easier time honing due to some npcs selling a lot of hone mats
that server will be isolated from the rest of the servers and regions, it has it's own matchmaking and market
you can trade both horizontal and vertical stuff
I don't understand what the long term goal of that they have in mind even if it does work.
Like they eventually will merge the new player server with the rest? Surely they don't plan on having this special isolated server for eternity?
it may* help some people to go and test raids without the worry of the original region/servers going full gatekeep-y, because you can go agent and no one will know unless you wipe the group 10 times
but honestly
i dont see it working
1-2 months at most and its gonna fall apart
i think
I agree if it's what we think it is.
Like nobody to gatekeep. But also nobody to teach. Nobody to have a economy or even play with.
how you gonna get accesories for alts
unless only 1 character is allowed and you always have hyper expresses
it will be much deader compared to euw or sa
only time will tell
I'm a new player and I don't understand the new server that well.
Like, would you even recommend a new player to start there lol?
nope lol
I feel like it's honestly a TRAP.
Wasting time on a server that's gonna die soon.
nor we do, it's a completely new thing
If someone acutally wants to play lost ark. Just let them play on the real servers, go through the pain and see if can put up with it and get to the good part.
The 1540 express is not exclusive to those servers are they
no
Hmm so what's the advantage of using the 1540 on those servers, vs using them on normal servers.
Ah ok.
Man now I think aobut it the whole thing is legit counter productive.
The other QOL things they're doing to make things easier(like easier cards) on the live server might not be enough, but they at least without a doubt make it better for new players.
This whole isolated server I'm afraid is just gonna bait people into a dead server with no economy and a very low clear rate in raids(everyone is new). I feel like they'd have a high chance of staying if they just started on the normal servers lol.
Surely it's not what we think it is? Do the people working behind this really think it's a good idea?
its all in discuss with the creator
The video? I haven't watched it. Maybe I'll take a look.
no vid
What do you mean "all in dicuss with the creator"?
ags talking with smilegate
i mean its in the roadmap already
Uh sure but this seems like a AGS only thing inspired by New World which signum said failed badly.
they may work on some stuff to make it clearer and "better", but ultimately i personally think it's gonna suck ass
Surely they know the flaws of it?
who knows, stuff could adjust
Man what a shame. They're actually doing some work and trying to make things better.
Just feels like they're out of touch and don't understand the issues.
I feel like this is not the correct response
They say that this is a result of consulting with focus groups
In fairness, it's very difficult to otherwise gauge how to try and address these issues that new players face
Veteran players cannot solve new player problems
Like signum, I have my doubts about whether this can work
but what they're trying to do at least provides a system whereby new players can feel like they're not just being gatekept to oblivion by endless alts
I can't tell the future
They are trying to get an influx of players back in - new or returning
if it all fails, to be honest it would probably mean there is nothing they could have done
they will be able to go all the way to akkan real fast, if they beat akkan or not is up to them, but at least the ilv and the easier to get horizontal stuff is there
maybe they get a graduation thing where they can go to another server with some extra stuff after X time or X things done
no idea
I would prefer it to not just pitchfork into AGS to making some terrible decision when we do not know how it will pan out and we don't even know how the system will work and integrate with the other servers
At the end of the day, all we can do here is to try and support new players the best we can
So yeah, I'm sure if once released, we all think it's terrible, we will be telling people to avoid them
but until we know stuff for sure, please don't just autoshit on a decision that none of us yet understand fully
The reality is right now if someone comes here and says "I want to start lost ark and play a slayer"
What can we say
"Yeah, play a slayer if you want. By the way, you will need to probably farm 200k gold to get your slayer books at some point. Good luck in Arkesia!"
eks de
"How do I get gold" "Do raids" "But I can't get into raids on my 4x3 slayer" "I guess you can make a support" "But I don't want to play a support, I want to play slayer"
I understand what you're saying. But my concern is
-
Sure a server of only new players aren't gonna get gatekept. But are there even enough people to keep the econonmy afloat? Enough people to queue for a guardian raid and not have to wait 15 minutes? Enough people to learn Valtan without having to wait in lobby for 3 hours? We can't pretend lost ark is brining in that many new players. And if that player base is SPLIT between normal and special servers...
-
How are they gonna transition into the normal servers eventually? Surely this can't be a thing forever? If it's forever then isn't a death trap for those who might play the game long term, started recently and is stuck on a dead server forever? Would it not be better for them just to suffer on the normal servers but at least be able to get to enjoy the game normally once they get past the intitial big hurdle.
Hey, what do you know, I think I already addressed both of the above
- Yes of course it's determinant on players actually coming back
We can't tell how many people may want to come back. But if there is some sort of threshold, it could work, in theory.
Right now, there's a huge split anyway
because new players do not know what to do
people don't use the lfg tools
people don't want to learn raids
people want to just bus
they also may have something extra to do, not needing to do the boring daily stuff but getting a lot of mats = can test out all the raids they want on the isolated server, get experience and actually play with reclears on the normal servers
- we do not know this
if it ends up being a failure, too bad, but they tried something at least
I'm not at all saying AGS has saved the game
they are showing interest in the game, which many people cry about
"amazon doesnt do shit for the game"
But I'm just saying to not just shit on the idea and tell everyone it's going to fail when we don't even know how it will pan out
yeah bud they are not smile gate
I said - I'm dubious too
But I'm not just going to tell people I know it will fail because...I don't know
If they get a good number of new players who can play together and learn raids together, I think that's a W
Because yeah, right now I do not want to be a new player with a 1540 DPS on DD18 with 100 roster, who is applying to the same lobby as my 230 roster 1540 with los30
Sure perhaps it's too early to call things definitively. But personally I see it as a high risk, high cost, low chance for reward move that might end up a net negative for the game(where as doing nothing might legit net in more players long term over the next months)
i wonder if the new player server will be like the expedited story thing they previously did. where they give you a bunch of benefits if you use it then they merge you into the real server.(not sure where it ends)
If it's so flawed and risky that doing NOTHING might retain more players, then I really have my doubts.
I hope I'm wrong.
I hope they see something I don't see and this is gonna be good lol.
i highly doubt they would do/request something without the data to back it up. us as players will most likely never see those data though
doest experienced / reclear is the same ?
technically yea
its like "i've cleared it before but on another character" vs "i've cleared it already on my current character" im guessing
no, not really
reclear can mean you cleared once and are trying your luck
experienced mean having it as homework, knowing all stuff and actually be confident
if they tell me to pick one, homework / experience / card run are the ones i'd go to
america brain r weird
im not murica
oh, ive pretty much never seen people add "experienced run" in their title. they usually all just call it "reclear" lobbies. i mean im sure they exist but i never see them
i see a lot of card runs or homework ones
of course agents are everywhere but
cant avoid them totally
i mean even right now if i check brel party finder , all i see is "fast reclear" or "reclear" lobbies
no exp lobbies
same thing for clown
the challenge guardian raid / challenge abyssal reward will change again after we reach ilvl 1540 ? my current ilvl is 1480
It will change at 1490
1490 and 1540
so its better to get to 1490 first before started doing it yeah?
they give rewards based on highest iLevel character in your roster. so if you hit the 1490 mark for brel mats, then they will all drop brel mats
you still want to hit that for brel, unless you are planning on playing it safe in case hyper max ilv is 1490
If you can push that, yeah.
so 1487.5 and use hyper to get all dem mats
and lvl7 gems
only 1 week away anyway
Oh yeah, I wouldn’t hone over 1487.5 until next week to be safe.
not the end of the world if you miss brel 1 week
express up to15xx
so its probably better to keep my ilvl 1487.5 until i claim the next hyper express for alot of mats ?
I would advise that
Wait did KR only get guardian raids once a day but choas dungeons are still twice a day? Is that what the patch notes are saying for us as well?
i can take another hyper express on the same character ? even though i finished the current hyper express already
yes
Yes chaos is still twice, but faster, and better rewards
yes, theres no limit, cant active more than 1 at a time on same class
you cant take 2 hypers at once
Depending on class, chaos is way faster.
I'll take it I guess
i mean im afraid 1 character only had limit and can take 1 hyper express , im not meaning to said to take 2 hyper express at the same time
Yeah timewise chaos isn't that bad. It's just more boring to me.
I'd rather kill guardians instead.
But 100k gold 
both daily r dull
100k 
Surely you’ll get juice drop two times in a row
so yeah we can take hyper express as many as we want as long we still under the ilvl requirement ?
BC fucked even more...
even though i already cleared 1 of the in the same character
Yes
Character can take any number of express sequentially
Think my sh has done two
And will do this one too
"This character can't take another hyper express because you took and cleared one hyper express 2 years ago"
imagine
Don’t give them ideas
i bet they already thought of that
Did KR at least get 5v3 for their event too?
Or is it still 4v3 like they showed before
They got 5x3 with soul eater
Chaos got a new possible drop in it, though. Fragment of Destiny; it can give you card packs, silver, gems, and gold
and 4 lv8 gems
Zeals said he got 7 legendary cards last week from chaos. 
alright thanks for the suggestion will keep my ilvl at 1487
7 weakened kakul saidon cards i bet
Doesn’t he have like 24 characters lol
Good lol. It was laughable when they announced 4v3 in korea.
And the Chaos Dungeon QoL updates includes the mobs spawn faster, move faster, and aggro from across the whole map, as well as no longer randomly stiffening or knocking your character
He also said he didn’t play all of them last week and did a lot rested.
zeal 48
Wtf? How many runs? Like 12 characters everyday?
Could be, but drop chances for the fragment also increase with Rest bonus
He said mostly vaigrys cards
time to play lost ark after a long week..... for 2 days, then get rested again
I still need my first 
settings
literally the first setting in audio 
yea but i wanna remove it
Confused where to buy roar
ok
completely
Uninstall the dlc
💀
google says blackfang, but she doesn't have an exchange option
roar?
Might be a rapport reward?
Guessing
maybe her rapport reward? press ALT + N to check
watch my link
how come my map doesnt have Dakadaku rapport on it? this is for Tortoyk
quest active that could include him?

i dont know. im looking at maxroll and they have no mention if he is quest locked
he is the only rapport i have left there but he is nowhere to be found
Lost Ark Rapport, Lost Ark Global, News, Guide, Strategy, Tips, Screenshot, Community
ty
man i hate when a guide tell you the name of the last quest in a quest chain but not the actuall quest that starts the chain
i found it from a youtube video cause the guy open his quest journal for 2seconds
does anyone know if it's possible to claim hyperexpress on different roster than the powerpass? i'd like to use powerpass on 2nd roster and hyperexpress on main
or do they come together
nice
nolife...
that's like, why*
because doesnt want to buy char slots
because i want more gold and have extra time to do raids on 9 characters and 2x trade skills and 2x una gold
that too
disgusting wish i had that time
while they still haven't remoevd the gold earning limit, this is the optimal thing to do
but here i am, with a full time job doing extra time
we've already ahd this conversation
yey..
if you have a job you have money to spend in game, i don't have a job so i spend time
in the end we all play the same raids
Which they aren't likely to do because that would genuinely not be a good idea
i have a job and barely spend in the game, and that's for skins
they said on loaon they're considering it, we'll see if it ever happens
it's fine by me, i enjoy it the way it is
if anything, they may increase the gold rewards but make it so less chars can get gold
Considering it, but its really not a good idea and they will potentially see that.
if it gets removed, suddenly my 2nd roster loses alot of its vaue
The gold that was being flooded into the economy when the gold limit wasn't there was making prices absolutely stupid on KR
stupid prices, no new players can buy accessotu
u can buy low quality ones cheaply, earn a few weeks worth of gold and then buy proper ones
waste of pheons
thats the stupidest thing you said
look at pheons just as extra gold
rn 100 pheons cost around 35k so 10 pheons costs 3,5k so 15 pheons (1 relic acc) is 5,2k
That was not how that worked during that period in time
relic accs btw
"few weeks of gold" from likely one or two characters, when they didn't have the same QoL we have now
yeah im talking about now
Accessories, books, gems, they were not cheap. They were excessively expensive to even try to get a hold of so new players could not do it
if you ask me they still aint cheap
I think just ignore this guy. You’re not going to change his mind. He’s your classic 5x3 imposter who just wants a carry in raids.
Yes they are, compared to then? Yes they absolutely are
well what are we supposed to do if we dont have gold to min-max
you dont minmax
i can't believe im getting flamed by a mod for stating my strategy
hardly a mod
You are saying it’s “optimal” which is kind of unhealthy
you have the time to do a second roster and get gold from both of them but you cant buy good quality of accs
200iq
I don’t want people to be told they need 2 rosters and 9 characters to play the game
no need to be a mod for that
People are still getting gold, and what matters is new players access to the things that they literally need to be able to comfortably even get into groups and flesh out their characters even to the most minimal extent

who cares what you want
didnt ask you shit
Hey, don't do that. Mod is a mod.
See signum, people like you more than me
i hate signum
which class should i pick as a new player?
what class you find cool?
what is your kind of prefered playstyle
Whichever one looks the most interesting to you.
what kind of class you like in other games
i played like an archer type class
sharpshooter
check shapshooter then
ok
pewpew
if you like the skills, create one
you have a c0ck chicken as well
sharpshooter a pain, no immune to attacks,easily get cancel, most r hawk players
you are ranged bro
everyone i know that plays ss likes it
that's skill issue from you
boss has range attacks, chaos dung closed area
What are some good excavation spots.
nihilpehofdigopdo island
anywhere that's t3
Or is it one of those things where when more people know, the spot stops becoming good
yeah that's fine
then go for it if you like it
ok thanks
female c0ck user sharpshooter when
follow your heart
is this troll or real
futa? signum
nilhelatops or something like that is the name
i cant remember the exact spelling
it's a dumb name and not everybody remembers it
i am a boi c:
ok thanks
niheltalop aparently is the name
@solar echo
thanks google
thank you I'll sail there now
off the coast of south vern
could try asure wind but distance r wider and bit of a pain to locate, maybe peaceful area, i cant remember if those bugs attack u
north of gesbroy, south of rohe
Couple minutes?
If there’s someone there it’s not worth it 🤷🏻♂️
(IMO)
Better outside of peak hours
I personally just do Bellion ruins in south vern
I just came from bellion ruins
There were some people there too
Should I be cutting trees to make gold at this point?
Yeah it’s kind of peak hours 🤷🏻♂️
Trees isn’t bad
I’d just chill out personally. Don’t tunnel vision just for gold
You might burn out super quickly
Rowen might be good as people just don’t go there any more
how is soul eater vs aeromancer?
Are slayers OP, why are the engraving books so expensive
heard pinnacle glav is currently OP in kr, do we have that version of OP pinn glav?
Not until the balance patch, no
if i wanna 5x3x1 (adren 1) with adren stone (7/7), i need 4 6/3 pieces right?
prob expire
what is this used for cause all my honings requires the blue ones
Correct. You have 2 wasted nodes
Base 1302 gear
The stuff you get from basic t3 chaos dungeon
insane amount of # people wanted slayer, so its high even after awhile
Probably expire as soul eater comes with their own express
or maybe like how slayer/artist happen
can i turn them in blue ones?
or smth
i need those and idk where to farm them
No
You craft them in stronghold
Or buy them from market
i dont remember from tower has any
another person forgot reading...
Craft is using fish, hunting, or excavation
people not reading stuff and asking simple things when its right in front of them
is this worth something ?
No
better off with a 9/5 or no adren stone at all?
9/5adr is ideal
No adr stone is also fine
does 9/5 takes around same cut as 7/7?
i c
what do i choose from the challenger's card pack? should i just do the one that has cards for deep dive/lostwind cliff? i need either of those lmao
Yes
cool
i would bookmark all the cards u need from cards catagory
and see which one has most light up
yea i did that
dont think u can favorite all last time i tried 20only
did they just shadow extend the slayer hyper express by a week or am i hallucinating
no idea i aven't been on yet
Yep
it was august 9th before, did it change?
ah shit
makes sense
Someone said for me to not play red while excavating. What does that mean?
weirdge ags
ur a gunlance?
why is my ult not letting me use it? any reasons
it is the same expiry date with the powerpass?
no, i'm eso wd
no idea, there's no way for me to check that since i've used it on every region
do u have awkening chaos shard/stone?
i'll check
where would i see em
inventory
i would imagine no then
you would also have a number on your ult showing how many times you can use it
Even if I was a gunlance, how does it affect excavating?
if its grey out then u ran out or dont have any in inventory, visit general merchant to buy or if u wish u can spend gold on market
@floral saffron @radiant flame no adren stone prob best bet for adren 1 right?
thats what it shows
I have no idea. The advice you got makes no sense
That’s what mizu suggested and I agree

@rose wren
But I’d still cut something with a good 9/7 chance
see post above
what are the things called that i need again sorry?
correct
awkening chaos shard/stone
which merchant is it called?
general
gotcha! thanks guys
No idea wtf happened lol
what class r u?
gunslinger
gunslinger
my boy wasted his whole lifetime savings for them
have u ever used them before?
i dont even know where they were lol
i put them in my roster storage like a week ago
oh...
wondered why i couldnt use my ult, im fuckin daft
thanks everyone, apologies for my brainless self
it doesnt work in roster storage
yeah, ive come to realise that now haha
yerp
why do you even need that much space
clothes boxes/pets 😄
if ya running alts to do raids/etc u still need to awakening
on each chara tho
like how they moved legions stuff to roster inventory on characters
probably 69,000
how can i know
idk you do side content
why dont you know
so ur supposed to know
we dont have affection rank
exactly signum

I have some rare Hanu runs, where we do all the mechs properly and yet he does the clap aoe fire/ice thing into white transition. what went wrong in these runs 
do I dismantle my old gear? relic "untradeable"
1ko akken easy
no I just got too much relic accessories from this chest
what chest
would love to look at the accesories
i know some are bound but some are tradable
yeah that doesnt tell me much
these are all bound
requesting valtan party for straight 1 hour and they just denied everything
i remember hyper accesories being tradabke being honest
so i really would love a pic of one of them
maybe it was some other boxes im thinking about
where do they say bound
There all like these ones “ bound” restricted trading
i dont see a single bound word on them
Top left of the info textss
yeah, ignore that
look at the "tradable" to the right
you said you just hit 1415 right?
go to char select screen or relog entirely from the game
the game is stupid and bugs out
Right right that makes more sense
see how the "restrictefjdasjfa level 1415" is red?
try to add them to market now, if you cant then the bound is true, if you can its because of the game being stupid
Yee I’ll let you know when I get back in lmao
Ooo but since im the first seller it doesnt really matter too much to me rn
Okay so.
The game’s being stupid
as usual
same happens when you use the event powerpass and try to use the hyper, it doesnt let you until you relog
it doesn't refresh* or something
Trueeee
Is the dismantle mats worth anything?
:p welp it’ll be useless anyways tho
one question if someone know the reply
can returning player choose to NOT comeback in jumpstar, or change from jumpstar server to another after x times? because its a nice idea, but my friends the quit a long ago if they comeback there i cant even raid with them
bro
you realise we dont even have the servers right now right? it's literally stuff we dont know about
all we know its whats written in the roadmap
and the notes said its a STAND ALONE server with its own market and matchmaking and blabla
and you also should know coz you're not new that server transfers dont exist in this game
ohh okey sorrry i thougt maybe there was something like that in kr/ru
no, there is nothing like that anywhere, at all
ye i was asking because we dont have server transfer maybe for that server could be a bit different, maybe
thanks for the info im in general not follow kr or other server so i dont know if its a new thing or not
we know 0 about them
no one will be able to answer that
even if we say no, probably they make it possible, or just plain fat no
yupyup, perfect then, understood sorry for the stupid question seems.
nah, not everyone knows what kr has or does not have
only true degens do
better to ask, sometimes the question is very silly but if there is not really much info about it, better to ask it
Since it's a new server per region, am I correct in assuming if you use the Hyper Express in August in your region, you wouldn't be able to use it for the Jump Server in that same region?
IE: Next week you use the Express on NAE, when the NAE Jump Server launches you don't get an express for it
we can only assume things
you won't be getting a total 100% accurate answer until they tell us yes or no
Wish I could take that into account on whether to use it next week or not, oh well xD
i PERSONALLY ASSUME they get their own thing and you can have 2 in the same region, but who knows
super jump servers are probably a trap anyway
use it on the real* ones
how much more dmg to i make in g2 kayangel with the darkset 12 ? 10%?
Will I be able to use the aeromancer express on my 1513 character?
we don't know
elemental advantage is 10% extra dmg
and it's gate 2, 3 and 4 that are weak to dark
y dont they stack ags...
that is on smilegate
where do i upgrade my charm

Here are ways u can find lobbies / learning groups to actually play the game 
then dont join and play the game normally
i left the lobby
how many covetous wing vykas drop for NHH vykas ?
u giving them ur hard earn gold
check the pin, still accurate, unless you have additional from first time clear etc
Really what are the odds of opening all chests from symael and only get silver 2x in a row ?
Not even a single cube ticket

likely, if you get a ticket from one consider it a good week.
I open all of them every week and would think its like 10-15% for ticket
I mean, so the odd is really that low ?
yea
I assume is kinda not worth it like farm / donate everyday to get silver, at least one could be guaranteed
good place to do excavation?
Maybe should start buying mats dont know
nilhanthorp, south Vern, punika
probably the one or two things i always buy from the shop
Little bit ot frustrating but what can we do really
Whats a good dps class in this game for pve?
Any of them. You just really want to play the class you enjoy the most, thats the most important thing.
dontcha find it boring being told what to play?
na not really imo
A lot of people usually want to play whats meta, which everything pretty much is
In Raids it comes down to your knowledge of the patterns and mechanics, there aren't really any actual steep DPS checks in the game
So long as you have sufficient uptime on your DPS you're fine, and that comes with knowing the fights
whats the difference between slayer and berserker?
from the moves and specialtys ive seen they look very similar
They do, but their Class Engravings are a bit different
Also Slayer is more of a back attack class than Berserker is
alright i saw gunlancer and it seems fun so ima play it
i saw some people talk about red and blue what is that
That would be which skills are prioritized in the build depending on the Class Engraving you're using
This may seem like a lot, but it can help as you learn the class
Don't try to take it in all at once, just tackle it as you encounter the things you need to learn about
alr thx
should i worry about messing up all of the abilities and stuff early game? or is that all end game
You mean with skill points? You can allocate skill points whenever for free
While you're leveling I would suggest trying to use skills with adequate AoE
Respecing skills in the K menu is always free, so play around with it while you’re leveling.
ok thx
Scouter is noticeably on the lower end while sharpshooter is pretty aight.
Actually (evo) scouter with the buffs next week is pretty good
Very easily above average
AT scouter is also considered strong
One of the the stronger hell mode classes currently
Which brings me to my next point, large balance patches occur every 5 months or some shit.
Playing what you like is more important unless you wanna drop $5k each balance patch on a new class 
^ this is however very true
Yeah don't meta chase
Actively a fools errand
Next power pass will be with Aeromancer release on the 16th
I checked it out and read the lone knight vs combat readiness but i still dont really understand what each do, from what i read combat readiness is for tanking?
whihc would work better if i have 2 mages on the team
Not tanking, its just "tanky". There is no tanking in Lost Ark as there are no aggro/threat mechanics present. Any Taunt skill is more of a kind of CC and also does not work on the endgame bosses in Legion Raids.
ohh ok thanks
Basically Combat Readiness is jsut able to take more damage than any other class, less DPS though
Gunlancer is very good for things like Weak Point and Stagger, though
Hey friends
So, I've been away from LA from a hot minute, I had to quit because the game just required too much of my time daily/weekly with my work and school schedule to where I couldn't keep up with the game as I was having to try to work on multiple alts. I wanted to ask how LA is doing these days; how many characters/how many hours per day do you need to play realistically to keep up? How long do dailies take these days with what would be considered "enough" alts?
I've really been missing the game, but I've been keeping myself from playing as at the time it was just asking for too much of my time
I play like an hour or two each day and I’m chilling.
Next week is about to make it even faster.
Because of the boost servers?
Can someone answer this: Do the NPCs give you the rewards for rapport everyday?
I guess the question becomes; is this for someone who is already established? I know in some games once you've grinded the shit out of everything, you don't have much left to do other than play an hour or two each day. So I guess my question is coming back, would I be able to stick to the play an hour or two each day thing and be fine? Do you end up playing more some days?
Well first off, there is no "keeping up" with the "top 1%" as they will always be ahead of you, but as for keeping up with the actual content of the game its not that bad at all. Also to clarify, you don't need a plethora of characters all high ilvl to successfully advance yourself forward, doing that actually has the exact opposite outcome. Realistically you could play 1 character and be fine so long as you don't FOMO about anything because Player Z is higher ilvl than you and did such and such content before you did. If you want to play alts then 2 to 3 are sufficient and you don't need to push them to 1540 or anything like that as that requires gold investment for honing. Up to 1490 does not use gold for honing, however.
On the 16th we will be getting an update that will add some progression events as well as a number of QoL updates for the daily things like Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids.
Please someone knows this?
No, they don't. You only claim Rapport rewards from an NPC once and thats it
The "daily" aspect to anything rapport related is you doing your Rapport actions with them to increase it.
That’s pretty whack then. Thank you
If you assumed they would be daily rewards then I guess it could be seen that way, sure.
Never assume.
Yeah, I used to push raids, I think those days are kinda over for me. So basically if I came back and just did dailies and enjoyed that daily content plus doing some of the new content, I would be fine? I would have to check where my characters were at because honestly I can't remember. I'll redownload the game and check.

I remember the monetization actually being really under control back then, is it still the case?
Yeah its fine
As in, they haven't gone to la la land with the monetization
No worse than anything else
Nice
How do I unlock my fortress?
I play Grand Chase; I don't mind paying for skins, but if you've ever played Elsword or Grand Chase Classic, you'll know what I mean by la la land monetization
A good number of people find they enjoy the game more when they aren't foaming at the mouth about keeping up with the whales and no lifers and doing such and such content day 1 of its release
I come from blade and soul 
To unlock your Stronghold is just a quest you get from Luterra Castle once you make it there while leveling to 50.
My fellow elsword enjoyer 
I've wanted to come back to Lost Ark, because everything seems to come short of this game in terms of my enjoyment of it, I just get scared of falling back into the FOMO loop where I would grind way longer than I should or was healthy and cutting sleep hours to play LA back then
Idk man, used to be the same way. Took a five month break, now I’m just casual.
I really only play like 2-3 characters per day then call it good.
We need more side scroller games like that. KOG has a death grip over those games and they're monetizing the hell out of it.
I’m not gonna be raid ready day 1, but that’s fine.
You will routinely see people suggest for you to not fall into the FOMO loop. Anyone that argues to the contrary...they are currently in that very hole and are on some strong copium.
For those who havent played Grand Chase Classic or Elsword, the monetization there is that your gear score being high is sometimes directly related to the pet and coordi set (essentially outfit) you use, and its a gatcha, getting a pet and an outfit (per character) can cost on avg. 100 to 150 dollars, and you have to play a good few of the chars in those games to progress, there are something like 18 chars.
So you can begin to see where I'm going
In lost ark, you can pay to buy materials to hone your gear just like before.
Yeah, I think taking a break prob did good by me, I'm gonna give LA a shot again and see if I can not fall into that loop
It’s just that I don’t consider it even being there due to how much you have to spend to get any noticeable gain.
I remember it being actually really fair, though.
For at least the earlier levels.
Then it scales up to a point where its not worth it
Then there’s Esther weapon which is just whale bait to flex.
💀
I think I remember wanting to chase the shiny weapon glow
That was the one thing I really wanted
Esther should cost somewhere around $100-120k USD by now 
I gave up caring when I realized that it doesn't matter
Yeah its insane
But the glow
I remember people actually dropping tens of thousands of dollars for glow
Cool
I also saw reaper coming out so I was like...
Ahhh, its my old favorite trope.
Reaper has been out for a while now 
Wait for soul eater
Soul eater
I can't say no to the scythe, every game its in
I just cant
I truly forgot how addictively good LA is
I think this game ruined multiple other titles for me
I love slayer 
Reaper, summoner, slayer, artist, and aeromancer (next week) are newer classes
I think I left just when Machinist came out
Slayer is female zerker btw
Whats the consensus on the new classes?
Newer classes are generally always better.
I assume female zerker is just as good as zerker if not better
Better designed, animated, dmg, etc.
And if that means anything, its strong.
Slayer has the second highest burst dmg in the game.
I’ve heard soul eater is amazingly fun as well. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed
Reaper… it’s fun but I think it could use some changes to its kit. Summoner is cracked tho.
I have every female class in the game 
Striker cracked too
Striker was always cracked iirc(?)
Yeah
I think I just remember people struggling playing it
Not CO 
What about summoner is cracked btw?
good damage, but not CO
guys I looked at the roadmap today but something confused me is the hyper express thats coming next week gonna be shared with soul eater release or are they doing another hyper express when soul eater comes out?
Do people expect legendary runes like wealth in brel normal? Or are epics sufficient.
theres no expectation of runes
at all
they couldn't even tell if you have one or not
soul eater is in november, odds are very high that the hyper express for aero is separate from the hyper express for soul eater
if you need leg wealth for your build then you need to get leg wealth
got it thanks
This was confirmed in the road map
i see
Okay well I’ll take back the confirmation, but heavily implied that there will be one for soul eater 
no it does say that there is one
wasn't what was confirmed is that soul mommy will have an express of her own? but we dont know if the ayayamancer hyper will run longer
which is very unlikely
honestly
i would just tell every single person that asks that "read roadmap, we know as much as you do"
Progression events for the Souleater class will be released to help players level up their new characters, including an Express event along with a free Powerpass.
i wouldn't say it's ambiguous wording here
then i'll tell them to read the fucking thing :<
the hell is reading, i certainly don't do that
a new strat to be op
i'll get other people to read for me
strats for the strat
in your guys opinion do you think 30/70 hunger reaper is better or 50/50
im no reaper expert, but i think that you need to compensate the lower damage with higher uptime, meaning that if you're not ultra cracked on reaper and chase the boss' ass all day long, i think 50 50 is better
you could ask in the reaper channel
Guys I'm a returning player, I'd like to level a striker, I have a lot of mats on my storage, should I KT him all the way or is it worth it to do all the main quests again
He's 600 atm but haven't even done rohendel
didnt you got the current punika pass
I used it on my slayer
then you can wait 7 days and use the next one
Yes, but I read that I need him to have done Punika
i mean
isnt it a south vern pass
besides, you realize the current punika pass is not "clear punika to get" right?
the current one yes, but I read that the next one will be
where
we have no idea what the aeromancer pass requires
oh
Stop reading misinfo
you're either coming up with it out of nowhere or reading fake news
well they lied 
the guesses are that either you need to clear south vern (matches the previous event powerpasses) or you need lost ark trusted (matches the slayer powerpass)
get better friends
nobody wants to bet on the third option
Your friends spreading misinfo, gg
but then what should I do with my striker to be ready for the next pass?
Nothing and u wait till u know more info
Im getting this error every time i want to do raids
confirmed* info
is doing the main quest worth it for the XP? I'm at rohendel
if you don't want to spend the gold on KT then you run it
if you don't have the gold to spend on KT then you run it
if you don't want to run it at all then you do something else for a week and powerpass it
I have the gold and I don't mind, I just wasn't sure if the XP is worth skipping over
xp is whatever
alright, KT it is! ty
Why would you kt when powerpass is next week
this is true, I just don't have many other things to do for a week lol
play i wanna be the guy
do pvp 
do whatever you want, you might want another character anyway
no
If I buy a powerpass I get a box of equipment, if I upgrade this equipment can I transfer the upgrades to normal equipment? Please if anyone knows
The box of equipment you would get would be the normal equipment
Which power pass are you referring to specifically?
Yeah you wouldn't need to transfer it anywhere, you would just upgrade that gear. The only times you're transferring enhancement level is when you're "advancing" from one set of gear rarity to another.
So for instance the blue/purple gear from the start of T3 you would transfer up to Legendary (which I believe the South Vern power pass gives you, then you would transfer Legendary into Relic when you get your Relic set but that comes from doing Legion Raids.
paper do yk where i can find the new ilvl-+x number for relic

does someone have a chart for it somewhere
Uhh no idea honestly

So theoretically I could also transfer the gear from the powerpass box to relict? There is no lock or anything
Not even theoretically, just yes. You do have to be at the proper ilvl to do Legion Raids, though.
you can use the kr lostarkcodex
Which starts at 1415 for Valtan Normal Mode but you can very quickly go over that up to 1445 so you can do Hard Mode Valtan
Because when you gear out of the powerpass box, it always says something in red at the bottom like "cannot be further improved" ect.
not aware of any chart with the numbers easily viewable
danks you 
If anything I do not think that has anything to do with honing
But I don't know what specific gear you're talking about
Do you have a screenshot?
Unfortunately not at the moment
I mean the equipment you get after you activate powerpass, legendary t3 1375, not tradable ect
1370 to be exact
which is legendary abyss dungeon gear at +6
and i think you're mixing things up
every single gear you get from any single powerpass in existence can be upgraded
You can only train so many characters, right?
I haven't played in a while, I forgot how you go about getting new characters up to par lmfao
Last I played was when machinist came out
training dummy is for passive combat EXP, which is only 1 at a time
Yeah
Is that the most effective way to go about doing it these days? If you don't have a powerpass
I don't think I would get any powerpass
or maybe I do and its sitting in my mailbox
Well the training dummy is for combat levels, so if you have a character already at level 60 it'll take several weeks of just running the character on the training dummy to get it to level 59
Oh shit, new max level huh?
OH
Sorry, duh.
I forgot, it just takes forever.
55 is softcap iirc?
Or was it 50
Nope
50
likelihood of finding a bus for brel g5-6 at this time on neria???
"softcap" yeah, is 50
Its been a long while 💀
its 3am in eu
As for ilvl stuff there are catchup systems and mechanics present now
try earlier in the evening
Up to 1490 ilvl does not cost gold for honing
go find your region's bus discord
So out of the new classes, which ones are effective and for what? Starting from the one that came out after machinist
pardon
All are effective. Play what you want.
we can quite talk about them here, but its not allowed to advertise, buy or sell them
Fair! 🤣 I'll probably give slayer a shot, sounds fun
I'm not really particularly interested in Summoner, I will be definitely excited for the new class coming out at the end of the year
Keep in mind this game is pretty mainly PvE and Legion Raids are focused more on mechanics and knowing boss patterns. DPS is a factor, of course, but every class does more than enough DPS to be able to clear the content
Yeah, assuming your gear score is up to par, but thats not character bound lol
Its cool to hear they're keeping the balance with classes still
Eh less ilvl and more Engravings, Gems, tripods, runes
And skill points
Really? I mean yeah skill points for sure, but I remember ilvl having a pretty big impact when I was playing, you kinda needed all of the above.
You do need all of the above
But ilvl is more for just accessing the content
Sure it helps with damage but Engravings and those other things amplify those numbers
God, its been so long coming back now I'm like.. What did I even work on before
I think I finished basically all the skill point collectibles
no you probably miss like 6 skillpoints
or more
from daily in wisdom, from tower t3
I'm probably missing more now, as I'm sure more has came out
you did una task from wisdom ?
yes
OH nice, I did get a powerpass for slayer
Should I have a powerpass for each of the new classes?
I only have this one showing up
Maybe its because I just made this character, though
yea
its normal
u cant get all powepass from before
because u didnt log
i would guess
