sterile raft
#

But my brand and buff uptime is good

#

Thanks to the bible Prayge

rose jewel
#

I press buttons and hope for the best, I don't try hard anymore

paper walrus
#

bard so ez i just look at my party's buff bar the entire time

sterile raft
#

I track it with ability cooldowns

#

When HT is at a certain cooldown, I use SV

#

I also just developed a feel for it

fervent mauve
#

Bard doesn't trigger the gamer goblin part of my brain from seeing shiny things

#

Just one circle shaped effect after another

#

Unfortunately

sterile raft
#

It's not as flashy but I find it enjoyable to keep buffs and shields up

lunar brook
#

White bars after white bars

timid trout
#

Uptime on my Bard is immaculate. Whether the other players are in range of me to receive the buffs is up to them and Jesus.

rose jewel
#

I doubt even Jesus can help sometimes

Anyone else getting Cannot connect to servers?

Ehh..

Restart your pc

#

Ah

paper walrus
#

oh yeah you're on data

rose jewel
#

Having pics off

#

Is kinda anoying

#

But I'm poor and can't get a bigger data plan

spice sentinel
#

Ill try a restart

fervent mauve
#

So you can only get phantom mark once per roster? You don't get more by doing it on 6 chars?

fallow crane
#

nope

paper walrus
#

fervent mauve

You know what's even more cringe

#

Honor shard is a one time purchase

fallow crane

rose jewel

fallow crane

paper walrus
#

rose jewel
#

Accessories are weekly

paper walrus
#

#

i dont want this

#

vital tinsel
#

I mean it’s kinda just bonus loot because rehearsal mode exists.

#

Not sure how much you can expect from that

#

Kinda nice that it’s there at all

rose jewel
#

Emergency mats

paper walrus
#

i have too many mats

#

no gold

rose jewel
#

I'll probably use them for a future class

balmy shard
#

How do you enter the new kind of chaos dungeon? can't find the new one

paper walrus
#

chaos dungeon or chaos gate

vital tinsel
#

The chaos gate?

paper walrus
#

recent patch changed gates

vital tinsel
#

It doesn’t spawn today

rose jewel
#

Teehee

#

It should be the same as old gate but what seve said

#

And I think it's like 6 times a week or something

balmy shard
#

Yeha sorry i mean the new chaos gate

rose jewel
#

So more chores to do weekly/daily deadge

fervent mauve
#

Look free loot is free loot and I appreciate that

#

Though I bought all the bags for one alt xdd

vital tinsel
paper walrus
#

yeah thats you

vital tinsel
#

Assuming you were actually doing GS and maps etc

paper walrus
#

oh did maps also go into gate

rose jewel
#

Gate was like 4 or 5 times a week and GS was once a week

#

Sum it, it's 5 to 6

#

So same shit

vital tinsel
#

True but no GS makes me happy

#

I hate that thing

fervent mauve
#

Reality is setting on me right now

#

And I'm really hoping I'm wrong

vital tinsel
fervent mauve
#

I need 35 phantom intentions, and if I do g1-g3 with extra chest I'm only getting 30

rose jewel
#

All 3 got polimerized

fervent mauve
#

Time to buy box for 3k again xddicant

paper walrus

vital tinsel
#

Just do it with a group that has full brel

paper walrus
#

vital tinsel

rose jewel
#

Paying more than 300g for the box is cringe

#

Tops is like 456g worth

cold cloud

timid trout
#

fervent mauve

You just failed math 101

vital tinsel
#

Lol

Yeah, believe it’s 30

cold cloud

rose jewel
#

Yes it's 30

cold cloud

cold cloud

fervent mauve
#

What brel gates have auction

cold cloud
#

3 and 4

paper walrus
#

tracks skill potions you're missing too

rose jewel
#

Tracks a lot of things, but no one ever pushes buttons in the game nor investigate or toy with the options

paper walrus
#

toys

rose jewel
#

Blame my phone for that

paper walrus
#

no i meant

#

y

#

🙏

#

@rose jewel

#

i have full set now 🤯

rose jewel
#

Grats

#

Now keep honing

vital tinsel
#

Just adds a single layer of complexity to most mechs

rose jewel
#

G3 tho

vital tinsel
#

And obviously health/damage goes up

#

Well ya, G3 gets a layer of complexity to literally everything lol

#

Idk about G4, haven’t done it.

cold cloud
rose jewel
#

Meteor placement is 100% different

cold cloud
#

omg

#

i finished event

#

3 million silver and 8k gold

#

:o

rose jewel
#

Then a totally new mech at 15 or 7 idk, then another new one at 0

vital tinsel
#

Because not enough mechs lol

#

But Brel is my fav raid so far regardless

rose jewel
#

Never enough

#

i cannot login to lost ark after changing ssd

#

anyone know how to solve this?

i am playing at asia, but i can play with my old ssd

tall wren
#

How much quality loss is still worth jumping from Relic to Ancient accessories?

marble shell
#

See if it is allowed through your Firewall

rose jewel
#

If you go for ancients you are supposed to get an increase in damage, thus you go for the same or higher quality, why would you downgrade yourself

tall wren
#

You buy Ancient you get damage

rose jewel
#

No, not necessarily

tall wren
#

I'm asking where the threshhold is

rose jewel
#

Unless it's literally the same quality and the same engraves, you get a minimal damage increase

tall wren
#

At what point does quality make more difference than the stats gained

wary iron
#

dont u get damage from int str and dex

tall wren
#

Like does it matter losing 2-3 spec on an accessory

rose jewel
#

He implied getting lower quality ancient nets you more damage

tall wren
#

I'm not implying anything, I'm asking where the treshhold is

#

Acient gives you more dmg

rose jewel
#

Class dependant and idk the exact maths

tall wren
#

But less quality removes some of it

rose jewel
#

Lower combats means lower damage, less swift = higher cooldowns, less spec is literally less damage for spec classes

#

Just fyi a full change on relic to ancient accessories assuming 1;1 combat stats and engraves is less than 3% total damage

#

Which is stupidly low for the cost (pheons and prob gold cost on acc)

vital tinsel
rose jewel
#

Going full ancient just because "more damage" while not even going +1 engrave is like,super not worth, specially if you go lower combat stats, it's kinda dumb

#

Personal point of view

#

Just stick with relics

lone sigil
#

poor person pov

rose jewel
#

So you would go for 5x3 ancients just because 3% more power?

lone sigil
#

yeah because i'm not poor

rose jewel
#

Classic whale pov

lone sigil
#

jk all my alts are on relics still

#

its fine buying a few ancient pieces if they are fairly priced

#

if you are skipping to 1540 very quickly on an express character

#

sometimes a 5/3 ancient with decent quality isnt much more expensive than a 5/3 relic

rose jewel
#

From my understanding he already have full relic set, he just wants shiny white accessories for no reason with less combat stats

lone sigil
rose jewel
#

Now you see where I'm going?

lone sigil
#

yeah it's pointless

rose jewel
#

If he was gonna go +1 maybe it's worth, but why lower quality

#

Keep it the same or higher, why cheap out

brittle cairn
#

How do I craft akkan gear?

rose jewel
#

But unless I'm blind he never mentioned +1

lone sigil
#

i remember having to drop 50 spec switching to ancient

rose jewel
#

same principle

hollow anchor
#

What stone should u settle for 5x3+1? 7/7, 8/5, or

rose jewel
#

Pinned message

fervent mauve
#

Guys quick

rose jewel
#

No

fervent mauve
#

Sorry xd

rose jewel
#

Continue

fervent mauve
#

I have a friend, he disconnected, if we leave to go repair will he get shafted

rose jewel
#

Yes

fervent mauve
#

I paused because he sent me a message on discord

rose jewel
#

Just wait for him to reconnect

fervent mauve
#

I noticed when I leave, any disconnect doesn't fully leave until I activate lobby, what's that about

rose jewel
#

You already left the raid?

#

He's 51% fucked

lone sigil
#

9/5 best for 5x3+1 provided the 5 is your +1, which isn't happening unless you were aiming for 9/7 adrenaline and failed (nobody is cutting ether predator rocks)

#

otherwise 9/6 > 8/6 > 7/7

fervent mauve
lone sigil
#

realistically you're looking at 8/6 and 7/7

#

since 9/5 and 9/6 are a lot harder to get

hollow anchor
hollow bluff
#

Roughy how much of a dos increase is honing from +15 weapon to 19 when everything else is the same

#

Is it roughy 16%?

rotund flax
#

Hey all, been doing the story express and just dinged 50. is there anyhting that I should be doing now that im 50 or should I focus on the guide quests and continue questing? Item level 242 for reference

fallow crane
#

continue questing

#

and use the story express

rotund flax
#

Hey lucie 😄 Yeah I see story express gives me gear sets when I complete different quest lines

#

But what about the guide quests? Should I just ignore em for now?

#

Purple ones

maiden locust
#

Hii! This keeps popping up but it wont let me claim, did I already claim these? If not how can I claim them

paper walrus
#

you have to be on the jumpstart server to claim them

rose wren
#

it says right there, jumpstart server only

Oh okay thank you so much !

Do you not get a ticket anymore if your team cleared when you DC?

#

some people said it'll give the reward and a clear but mine didnt

paper walrus
#

i dont think that ever happened?

#

you just get a ticket if you dc

fervent mauve
#

Real talk why does sorc get gatekept so bad? If the class needed absolute juicing to be let into lobbies wouldn't that mean it's like, bad

paper walrus
#

sorc also requires hands

quick thicket
#

Need about 800k shards for my main to get to 1580, should I start buying mari shards?

hushed elbow
#

how many pieces do i need to craft brel armour?

paper walrus
#

30

#

75 for weapon

hushed elbow
#

ty!

rose wren
#

can check via codex

rose jewel
#

Or just go to the craft npc you know

rose wren
rose jewel
fervent mauve
#

Yeah but it happens too often to ignore

#

It's like a meme now

rose jewel
#

Because people are fucking stupid

#

Not much to it

#

You don't need a perfect party with perfect synergies to clear anything

#

I've went with 3-4 sorcs on brel and we cleared just fine

#

You just started seeing-hearing about people gatekeeping sorcs more and went with it, or you are one and you ain't getting invited

#

Let me tell you, there are a million reasons to gatekeep

#

And I believe you have asked the same about sorcs already

fervent mauve
#

I think I have asked before about this yes, but I don't think I asked why

rose jewel
#

People are stupid

#

That's why

rose wren
#

alll u need to beat game is ilvl and brain to do fights

fervent mauve
#

Yeah but stupid why? What are they assuming that is wrong?

rose jewel
#

Same when zerks were being gatekept to the max

#

"The boomer class", "They always die first" etc

#

Same with reaper

#

"Floor pov" "No hands zdps"

#

Now it's sorcs

#

"zdps floor pov no hands players"

floral saffron
#

ok sorc has a decent reason tho

#

it has dogshit destro stagger and no counter most of the time

rose jewel
#

Goblin dps they say

#

Everyone is goblin

#

Most players don't know what their class does in terms of stagger and weak point

floral saffron
#

aero doesnt get gatekept bc gigachad synergy

rose jewel
#

Most of my aeros don't even use Z syn

marble shell
#

I spam Z everytime I fill meter which is less than 1 rotation

floral saffron
#

deadge once we get balance patch the destro at the end of g2 akkan is gonna be annoying asf on aero

rose jewel
#

You, not my pugs

floral saffron
#

only destro will be my counter and piercing

rose wren
#

drizzle aero has like ~2ability weak point :/

floral saffron
#

drizzle and windfury both only have 2

#

downard and piercing

rose jewel
#

The issue is weak point going to counter

#

Which is dumb, like why

marble shell
#

what really?

rose jewel
#

It was perfectly good how it was

#

Iirc yes

#

Unless I'm mistaking skills

floral saffron
#

it is

rose jewel
#

They gonna put the weak point on counter

echo owl
#

it’s reverted.

floral saffron
#

its taken off downard, moved to counter but it does more weakpoint

echo owl
#

check again

rose jewel
#

Oh so it's not gonna happen, good

#

I haven't checked the latest ones

echo owl
fervent mauve
rose jewel
#

But pala has 2 counters

#

So you got an emergency one at least

fervent mauve
#

I was convinced about what people said about sorc in the funny social media sites but then I checked ayaya gameplay and unfortunately I snoozed

rose jewel
#

Sorc is good, like all classes, it's up to the pilot

#

And ofc you never know how a player plays

bold geyser
#

so the maps at the end of chaos gates are gone/got changed, but the old exca maps i got are the same, yeah?

fallow crane
#

yes

bold geyser
#

aight

#

thanks

brazen leaf
#

If I do 1-3 NM Brel, can I do G4 HM?

floral saffron
#

no

worthy iron
floral saffron
#

you get locked out of hm g4 if you do nm g3

worthy iron
#

and sorc players playing a busted class complained so hard they actually got the class buffed

vast oriole
#

problem is, sorc utility is shit and progging is all about utility
thats why sorcs cry

#

for a class that is supposed to be only big dmg, it gets gapped by other classes that has more utilities XD

timid trout
#

Artillerist has counter and stagger on the same skill, twice - Napalm and Swing. It's annoying on stuff like Monke. Napalm actually has Weak Point on it too.

vast oriole
#

multiple class has the same

#

imagine you have a counter that doesnt do anything so if you take it, its literally a dead skill and you lack meter

floral saffron
#

but arna

#

they made it faster gigachad

fervent mauve
#

Reading pins it says "Do daily content until level X", daily content at like ilvl500 is chaos dungeon and what?

vast oriole
#

dailies

#

una tasks

timid trout
#

If my skill only had a counter I would only take it on content that needed a counter. Arti doesn't use Napalm or Swing in it's damage rotation. It only uses it for stagger and/or counter.

vast oriole
#

yes but it doesnt fuck your rotation if you take it

#

thats what i mean

timid trout
#

gotcha. yes, that's true.

vast oriole
#

you can go in sorc channel

fervent mauve
rose jewel
#

@brittle cairn apologises but i dont usually take pms, anything you wanna ask feel free to do it here (besides i was going home)

amber trout
#

how do i get my second awakening skill

rose jewel
#

have you used a south vern powerpass at all

#

or higher

fervent mauve
#

If I didn't south vern pass how do I get second awakening

rose wren
#

somewhere upon reaching punika

rose jewel
#

it's a.... rohendel? quest or something

#

that lasts for like 7hrs

#

i love it when i don't get an answer

#

@amber trout

lunar brook
#

It's a quest you start in rohendel

#

And you go on to do a lot of bullshit ending with the luterra bard butting in for some reason and giving you the awakening

#

And you watch a romantic sunset together

#

I've also heard of people taking but not finishing the quest so they can have the cool glow

rose jewel
#

i also asked the dumb question of "what's with this aura/particles flying around my char"

rose wren
#

cant recall if i did

midnight nimbus
#

Is there an equation to see multiplicative vs additive damage? Can't find a pin or anything on this. (eg. salv, CD, wep-qual additive; LoS multiplied; atro multiplied)

cold cloud
#

i just did a stone for the first time in a while

#

is 8-6 good?

#

and then 2 for the bad part

fallow crane
#

Yes that's same as 7/7

shy chasm
#

first stone DESPAIR

rose jewel
#

not the same in easyness of building tho, kinda weird

#

but at least you can cheap out on 1 acce

midnight nimbus
#

I got a fairly cheap 4/3 neck with my 8/6 stone

cold cloud
shy chasm
#

yes

cold cloud
#

oh

#

im doing hanumatan for the first time now

#

ape strong together

civic arch
#

how hard do yall think the gatekeeping for akkan hm is gonna be if i dont have los 18

vital tinsel
#

ha

lone sigil
#

very

civic arch
#

but lvl 10 and 5x3+1 ofc

lone sigil
#

very

civic arch
#

hm

lone sigil
#

1600 and no los18 is ?????

civic arch
#

dude cards fckingsuck man

#

i just get legion comander cards all the time never los

#

or weakend kakul ofc

lone sigil
#

unless you literally started a couple months ago and swiped all the way to 1600 and didnt buy maris cards along the way

civic arch
#

started on ayaya release

#

ish

lone sigil
#

there isnt really a good reason you dont have los 18 by 1600

civic arch
#

maybe i should buy mari shop cards

midnight nimbus
#

I've been playing since November, and I only recently got LoS18 >_>

civic arch
#

^^

lone sigil
#

but yeah you aren't getting into hm parties without los18

steep moon
#

can illusion island be done solo?

lone sigil
#

or even los30

civic arch
#

atleast i have dd30 but still

lone sigil
#

in fact no los30 is probably an autodeny by any decent party

civic arch
#

here i bought mari rare to leg -_-

lone sigil
#

there is no shortage of 1600s with los30 5x3+1 and level 10s

civic arch
#

what a pain

lone sigil
steep moon
#

just make a lobby then

civic arch
#

cards are just way to fucked

steep moon
#

los30 is not a requirement rn

civic arch
#

for example friend of mine spend like 500 eur on cards still not los 30

timid trout
#

I'd have LOS18 by now if Balthorr stopped spawning at 4AM on merchants.

civic arch
#

wel atleast i can play with em but still its a pain to get

heady hollow
#

ive done hm akkan multiple times with only los18 shruge

lone sigil
#

level 10 gems arent "required" either

heady hollow
#

and i wasnt janitor either shruge

civic arch
#

i have balthor max but i never ever ever see fcking wei in merchant

lone sigil
#

but realistically you are going to be gatekept

civic arch
#

its never there

#

kadan

#

and they also nerfed it so you get 1 now if its there not 2

steep moon
#

if ur getting insta denied from lobbies and blame not having los 30, you probably have something else on ur char that looks odd

timid trout
#

If I really wanted to I could use a selector to get LOS18 right now but I'm not going to.

steep moon
#

i did and i didnt regret it

steep moon
#

took so long to get los18

lone sigil
#

if every other dps in the lobby has los30 and you dont while it's not that difficult to find another applicant with los30

civic arch
#

main 2 things are my roster aint high and i dont have los 18

lone sigil
#

yeah you're getting denied unless they are in a rush to run

civic arch
#

working on it tho

steep moon
#

idk i dont think ive ever ever struggled after getting los 18

steep moon
#

people care about gems alot more

#

and roster

#

/title

lone sigil
#

there are barely any true full pugs of hm currently, most lobbies are groups missing a person or two

civic arch
#

i still think gatekeeping roster is dumb

lone sigil
#

and those lobbies can afford to be very selective

civic arch
#

i get jailed more by 200's then 110-150

lone sigil
#

unless it's a support

rose wren
#

every reason u can think of its dumb

steep moon
#

gatekeeping is just a lobby leader trying to min max chances of jailing, not remove it entirely

lone sigil
#

you're somewhat expected to have los30 at 1600+ because you're assumed to have played the game for over a year

steep moon
#

people are bad at all stages of the game

civic arch
#

also i dont mean to sound cocky but im 100% sure im better then the average player, just at the game

heady hollow
#

is this setsura 2.0 or what

lone sigil
#

?

#

most 1600s ive seen have los30

civic arch
#

i mainly just focused on my main

steep moon
civic arch
#

and it helps its a 2 gem class

rose jewel
#

faint

lone sigil
#

not having los 18 will 100% get you gatekept

rose jewel
#

i dont usually say this coz im the toxic ass here but

civic arch
#

i do have hell clown title but i doubt that helps lol

lone sigil
#

not having los 30 will likely get you gatekept depending on lobby

steep moon
lone sigil
#

yes, this entire convo is about akkan hm

rose jewel
#

ignore sere's extreme negativity, los 18 is perfectly fine

lone sigil
#

he doesnt have 18

civic arch
#

i dont have 18

lone sigil
#

that's the problem

civic arch
#

thats the problem lmao

steep moon
#

yea

rose jewel
#

dd30 is not as bad

civic arch
#

i do have that

rose jewel
#

yes its not THAT good but bro

lone sigil
#

akkan hm lobbies gatekeep very heavily

#

because g3 is major potential for jail

manic rain
steep moon
#

it doesnt matter obviously but heres something, if you dont like gatekeeping make a lobby xd

lone sigil
#

nobody is going to join

manic rain
civic arch
#

like for example

lone sigil
#

there arent that many 7 randoms pugging it

manic rain
civic arch
#

i spent the last 2 hours on brel g4

#

i died

#

ONCE

lone sigil
#

most groups are just missing one or two people

civic arch
#

in the entire 2 hours just once

#

but still jailed

i believe its like, so so around the same, since dd is additive to some other things, and los is multiplicative

#

there is a table somewhere

steep moon
#

join a static then

#

thats the best way to do it

#

quick runs and no pf

manic rain
#

I'm two card upgrades away from los18 :0 just need wei or balthor

civic arch
#

ok technically 2 times cause ifat fingered azena on black hole lmao

manic rain
lone sigil
#

the only reliable way to akkan hm right now is static

steep moon
#

^

civic arch
#

only friends i have are 3 germans that keep screaming at eachotter

#

they do have los 30 tho

heady hollow
#

ive pugged all 3 of my hm akkans shruge

civic arch
#

2 of em

lone sigil
#

its highly doubtful it was a full pug of 8 randoms

#

pretty much every group is at least half of a premade that is missing some people

rose jewel
#

he still went in

#

so

#

he pugged

#

that's the thing

lone sigil
#

its not a full pug

#

by that logic

rose jewel
#

it's not like, 100% ultra giga uber impossible to

#

but whatever

civic arch
#

if i use my 3 selections i can get to los 15 rn

lone sigil
#

i got my first clear by pugging it even though half the people running were a premade

rose jewel
#

cant be bothered talking about it anymore

lone sigil
#

and had experience

steep moon
civic arch
#

yes all characters every week

#

4 ^

#

char

rose jewel
#

los 15 aint shit and doesnt give anything

steep moon
#

damn just giga unlucky

rose jewel
#

unless you typoed

steep moon
#

i feel unlucky cause i barely have 18

civic arch
#

thats where im at rn

midnight nimbus
#

I saw a support running Star of Destiny in Akkan NM ¯_(ツ)_/¯

lone sigil
#

should be buying maris card packs tbh

rose jewel
#

i would argue 1 or at most 2 selectors for los18 is honestly a good investment

lone sigil
#

if you can afford to hone to 1600 within starting in march

rose jewel
#

3 more more is just a no

civic arch
lone sigil
#

and winning every auction in abyss that shows up

steep moon
#

iwas tired of using lwc so i used like 3 packs on los18

civic arch
#

also i did get really really lucky on hones

#

my weapon is 1610 every hone under 10% artisan

steep moon
#

jesus

civic arch
#

my gear also all under 20%

#

wel currently my weapon is on 23%

steep moon
#

wow

#

youre just playing a different game

civic arch
#

the last 9 hones where under 15

steep moon
#

i 80%+ evvery single tap from 1550 to 1580

civic arch
#

i have 4 akkan pieces atm

#

i could run nm this week but id rather just hit last hone and do hm

lone sigil
#

your honest best bet is to bible, and show logs to a static and get in on the merit of you supposedly being above average

#

while having bad cards

civic arch
#

bible ?

#

pray

steep moon
#

do u know what bible is

civic arch
#

no

steep moon
#

meter

civic arch
#

oh dps meter

#

id rather not

rose wren
#

thats bannable btw

civic arch
#

but when my friend did in an akkan my dps wasnt lacking

steep moon
#

what was it

civic arch
#

the soulfist did less damage then sidereal lmao

lone sigil
#

thing is, people dont know your dps isnt lacking

civic arch
#

thats why he was checking

lone sigil
#

there is no way for them to know without them playing with you (and presumably running bible)

civic arch
#

wel i do tend to have pretty high uptime

rose jewel
#

i would rather not recommend using that thing and ignore the recommendation of doing so

rose jewel
#

but that's me

civic arch
#

i did swipe a bit ofc so i'd rather not get banned

lone sigil
#

fwiw, a ton of people in this discord and in the game use it

civic arch
#

i know

lone sigil
#

including high profile streamers like stoopzz

rose jewel
#

yes i know

rose wren
#

if ure saying about ur uptime then u'll appear on the mvp screen

civic arch
#

damn he uses it ?

steep moon
#

i feel like in the top 30% of players at least half use it

rose jewel
#

i am still against it

steep moon
#

all streamers use it

rose jewel
#

i will never use that shit

#

besides

civic arch
rose jewel
#

i dont care about stoopz at all

steep moon
#

stoopz legit did a dps fight lol

rose jewel
#

i dont watch his content, i dislike it, personally

#

so blobshrug

civic arch
#

most whales ive seen are zekrs or ss for some reason

#

or sorc

steep moon
lone sigil
#

either way, original point is

civic arch
#

farm cards

#

and pray

lone sigil
#

there really isnt a shortage of 1600+ players with your gear and/or better

#

yes, also farm cards

civic arch
#

yeah

#

but there is a shortage of players

#

with hands

#

0_0

lone sigil
#

and there is no way for people to know you are "better than the average player" without them seeing you play

steep moon
#

^

civic arch
#

for now ill just sit back and farm

lone sigil
#

people claim all the time they are better than average

civic arch
#

i dont really need to fomo anyways

lone sigil
#

most are full of shit

steep moon
#

ur options are, join a static, farm and get lucky or make ur own party

lone sigil
#

realistically, join a static

steep moon
#

yep

lone sigil
#

you can try to apply to parties but good luck

steep moon
#

a static shouldnt care if youre min max they just care if you have hands

civic arch
#

where tf am i supposed to find one of those

steep moon
#

just join a guild

rose wren

if youre 1600 with gems youll have no issues joining a guild

rose jewel
#

i don't really like his streams or content, idk, not my type or style

steep moon
#

and they always have statics

lone sigil
civic arch
steep moon
civic arch
#

also yes im working on roster

steep moon
#

whats ur roster level

rose jewel
#

ah, well, illegal shit, never liked to use anything like that

civic arch
steep moon
#

ah

lone sigil
steep moon
#

thats the biggest reason

lone sigil
#

you're pretty fucked

steep moon
#

whats ur skill points?

civic arch
civic arch
#

so it doesnt really matter

steep moon
#

110 roster just insta makes people think u have no horizontal

civic arch
#

but its 380

steep moon
#

and generally that means bad player/bad dps

vast oriole
#

Good spec

#

Nice

civic arch
#

i do need a new brace tho

#

working on that too

lone sigil
#

engravings and stats are fine

vast oriole
#

Youre lacking roster level yea

#

Rest is fine

lone sigil
#

things holding you back are los18/30, roster, and to a lesser extent class

steep moon
#

cant lie if you applied to my lobby i would expect you to be an rmter

lone sigil
#

in the event people dont want demonic

civic arch
#

wel heres my full roster

timid trout
#

Are the lv 5 gems from a different event than the current express? Current express would've given you 8s by your ilvl

lone sigil
civic arch
#

ayaya one i think

lone sigil
vast oriole
#

I had one demonic one ps in my first akkan hm clear KEKW

steep moon
#

jesus christ u got lucky on honing

civic arch
#

wel my slayer pitied a couple times but that was on early levels

#

i havent pitied a high level hone yet

steep moon
#

what

civic arch
#

hope that doesnt happen

steep moon
#

thats insane

lone sigil
#

with 110 roster party finder is probably out of the question

rose wren
vast oriole
#

Are you against doing horizontal?

lone sigil
#

so yeah, time to get shop around and beg for a static

vast oriole
#

Because u should xD

civic arch
#

i dont really do islands but i did run elgacia and rowen etc on all and will do plecia on all

#

or i could just sit in tower all day

#

if i really want to

vast oriole
#

I meant omnium stars and shits like that

#

Masterpieces

civic arch
#

eh

vast oriole
#

Some sea bounties and island souls

civic arch
#

not as much as i should but it dont have a lot of time through out the weeks atm

vast oriole
#

Even tome

civic arch
#

40hrs of work, gym and mother moving out etc

vast oriole
#

Understandable

civic arch
#

i have 5 omnium

rose wren
vast oriole
#

Try lfg discord tbh

civic arch
#

i have ran the dungeon at vern a bunch of times

#

but not lucky

#

and the whispering islet also havent gotten it

#

tried abunch of times tho

#

if i get 1 more i do get 6 more points

#

master pieces i have 19

rocky raven
#

How much better is LwC30 over YHaP30 for supports?

lone sigil
#

a lot better

civic arch
#

i havent done much adventure tome tho

vast oriole
lone sigil
#

also that 3.5 is on a multiplicative source

#

rather than an additive

maiden locust
#

hi ppl, im a new player and started levelling a bard and it's at like lv35 atm, am I still able to use the free South Vern powerpass I got on it? how does it work? i didn't notice i had one deadge

vast oriole
#

Did you do una reputations for masterpieces and things like that?

graceful glacier
#

Gunslinger guide on Nexus is broken

lone sigil

and most people who have played the game for a while are running los18/30

And getting some rapports not done yet

steep moon
#

just did illusion island and its not 100% drop rate?

vast oriole
#

First tomes are really really easy to do

#

When you have time ofc

rocky raven
civic arch
#

ah if i do azure wind 1 more time ill get a giant heart

#

which gives me 3 skill points

steep moon
#

idk how u can play slayer with 380 sp

paper walrus
steep moon
#

trust me, i was in ur shoes, 380 sp ceebsing horizontal

#

but its much much much nicer to get ur account properly setup

lone sigil
#

you can have all the hands in the world

#

but once people find out you only have 380 sp

#

all the hands arent going to save you from being denied

steep moon
#

yup

civic arch
#

also i do have most runes

steep moon
#

thats why roster matters so much

vast oriole
#

You can work on your demon dmg too to flex, maybe people can take you for that aswell

lone sigil
#

very few people actually look at that

mellow mauve
paper walrus
#

watching lobby master accept people without a wooden compass Weirdga

civic arch
steep moon
#

if youre applying for a guiild do not tell them your skill points hahaha

vast oriole
#

Yea but you can flex on discord asking for a group

mellow mauve
#

Tru

lone sigil
civic arch
#

i mean atleast skillpoints dont matter THAT much for my main char

steep moon
#

they do for slayer

vast oriole
#

"Hey take me, i have 3% demon dmg pog"

steep moon
#

alot

civic arch
#

and SH is getting another 4.5% buff so thats good

timid trout
#

eh, if you dont have los30 not much sense using xp on demon books

civic arch
timid trout
#

youll end up with the cards for los30 and no xp

civic arch
#

and glavier aswell

steep moon
#

you need max sp for slayer to be like

#

nice

civic arch
#

i have eh

#

1.6m xp

vast oriole
steep moon
#

im still tryna get the damn ignea

vast oriole
#

Just dont use everything

civic arch
#

tbh idek if thats good or bad

steep moon
#

i get more xp than los cards i dont think im ever gunna have an issue hahaa

vast oriole
#

Do easy ones first with white and green

lone sigil
#

people only give a shit about demon damage if they're an omega stacked lobby trying to get another person that's omega stacked

#

or when thaemine comes out

civic arch
timid trout
#

I don't even think max demon damage from books exceeds 6%.

lone sigil
#

if you dont even have los18/30

vast oriole
#

True

lone sigil
#

they're not even going to make it to the demon damage page

civic arch
#

if only i was luck with wei on merchant

#

like balthor

steep moon
#

embarrasing

civic arch
#

bruh

steep moon
#

never been on while its up

civic arch
#

doesnt demon damage only work on akkan ?

lone sigil
#

every legion raid is demon

steep moon
#

akkan is undead i think?

#

or atleast some part is

lone sigil
#

g4 is undead

civic arch
#

ah

radiant flame
#

g1 undead too

lone sigil
#

g4 as in 0 bar

#

g1 is undead yeah

civic arch
lone sigil
#

but anything other than demon damage

#

is a trap

#

because of how scarce card exp is

paper walrus
#

humans

lone sigil
#

human is a trap lol

radiant flame
#

plant for voldike

rose wren
#

valtan isnt

paper walrus
#

celestials xdd

timid trout
lone sigil
#

aside from thaemine, there are no real dps checks ahead except for week 1-2 voldis hm for on ilvl people with "cheap" gems and poor hands

civic arch
#

bought 21 rare to leg got nothing

#

rip 14k

lone sigil
#

and dumping a few million card exp for plant/whatever dmg to do voldis is actual brainlet move

minor briar
steep moon
#

ah so just killing is 100%?

lone sigil
#

demon damage will 100% be a gatekept metric for thaemine hm

#

especially for parties trying the unnerfed version

civic arch
#

fun game man

#

gatekeep this gatekeep that

#

i just wanna have fun

lone sigil
#

i mean, it's probably the most valid gatekeep content

steep moon
#

invite people with the same mentality

#

if you get jailed, its just fun right

civic arch
#

idm aslong as i dont have to waste 1000 pots xD

lone sigil
#

in other games you get gatekept off your logs for hard content

steep moon
#

shouldnt be using pots if ur better than the avg player xd

lone sigil
#

here you get gatekept off your gear (and logs/gameplay videos if they require it)

rose wren
lone sigil
#

different approach, same result

#

when the content is that difficult, people are going to demand everything that you can get bar esther 8

civic arch
#

anwyays with my friends i think ill be fine for akkan hm

#

1 has a supp at 1600 and the other has los 30

paper walrus
#

friends Despairge

steep moon
#

just get the support to join and ask for 2 dps friends

#

easy

civic arch
#

can do that

#

we're 4 people

#

anyways mari shop sucks

#

bye 30k

lone sigil
#

going to have to find a prog that has room for 4

civic arch
#

wel 1of em is reclear atleast so he can scream at me in vc

#

xD

lone sigil
#

still going to be in prog parties

civic arch
#

yeah true

lone sigil
#

true reclears arent taking 3 progs

#

too much risk

civic arch
#

yeah fair

timid trout
#

oh hey, pulled a Shandi from Legendary Pack in Event Shop. LOS18 ez game.

tawdry yoke
#

hey guys, when I interact with monsters they don't respond for like 5 seconds. Don't know if anyone else has experienced a similar issue.

#

this only started happening after the update

rose jewel
#

new patch new bugs

#

try to verify game files, otherwise if it keeps happening, you either have lagspikes or its a bug and you should report it to amazon

tawdry yoke
#

ty

crimson cobalt
#

question about elixirs: im not rly sure which engraving it was about but with elixirs coming for us, some engravings lose a little bit of value. could that be about cursed doll? or adrenaline (adren 3) maybe? does someone know

#

im thinking about buyinc ancients, so i dont want to waste gold

lone sigil
#

Too class and build dependent

crimson cobalt
#

hmm, i see. dont almost all dps classes go the same elixirs?

#

since everyone wants crit or dmg buffs

lone sigil
#

And getting optimal elixirs anytime soon or ever is also a very big ask

crimson cobalt
#

alright

steep moon
crimson cobalt
#

thanks

steep moon
#

all classes have different crit dmg etc

lone sigil
#

Also affected by things like crit synergy

steep moon
#

wep ilvl

crimson cobalt
#

i wanted ask for some insight: i have almost full lv 9 gems now (4 lv 7s left but not that importatn i think). idk what i should do atp, keep going for 9s and then start working to get 10s or maybe get ancient accs for 5x3+1 maybe (even tho i really dgaf about that but i guess it helps by getting into lobbies)

#

or maybe get alts up idk

radiant flame
#

you...should really have 5x3+1 if you ahve full 9s

steep moon
#

depending on the class

#

what class are ya

crimson cobalt
#

but i dont rly understand how thats rly important

radiant flame
#

?

#

because 5x3+1 is like, 3-5% dps increase

crimson cobalt
#

for me i play igniter, with nightmare so i have adren 3. i would get ether pred. and is that rly that good

lone sigil
#

Bracelet might even be one of the most gold efficient upgrades

radiant flame
#

not over +1

crimson cobalt
#

to waste so much gold for that

radiant flame
#

+1 does...not cost that much

lone sigil
#

For igniter

radiant flame
#

like, the cost of 2x level 9 gems

lone sigil
#

It can get expensive for high quality

radiant flame
#

shrug, it's a sure dps increase

crimson cobalt
#

i have a bracelet with 100 crit and 117 spec

radiant flame
#

and...you should really be using adr 1

#

with hallu

lone sigil
#

Bracelet is a fairly cost effective increase if you only have a 2 stat bracelet

crimson cobalt
#

i would change to that but i have a 9/6 stone

vast oriole
#

doomsday lvl 10 could be nice

crimson cobalt
#

and that would be a big fat waste

radiant flame
#

so what

#

9/6 is nothing special

#

you're building around suboptimal stuff, and now wanting to optimise spending...

#

like, do you see the slight irony there

lone sigil
#

You’re already saving gold with a 9/6

radiant flame
#

no, his 9/6 probably isnt usable

#

for adr1 build

steep moon
#

sounds like the 6 is adr

radiant flame
#

i assume he has 9 on adr or something

#

6 on adr is fine

crimson cobalt
steep moon
#

yea useable

radiant flame
#

if 6 is on adr

#

its fine

#

what

#

lol

crimson cobalt
#

i thoguth about using the 6 adr for the +1

radiant flame
#

it's just a 9/5

lone sigil
#

Which is better than a 7/7

radiant flame
#

perfectly useable

steep moon
#

if u have adr 6 on stone thats chill

lone sigil
#

Yeah

radiant flame
#

you can even get a 6/0 neck

lone sigil
#

^

steep moon
#

work around what acc you already have

lone sigil
#

Cutting bracelets isn’t a bad idea though

steep moon
#

like if u already have 2 good acc

#

try keep them

lone sigil
#

Within a 200k investment

radiant flame
#

i...honestly wouldn't cut bracelets

#

i've sunk 200k into nothing lol

steep moon
#

brac big gamba

lone sigil
#

You can easily get a 3% or higher damage increase

#

He only has a 2 stat bracelet

radiant flame
#

"easily" is...

crimson cobalt
#

what exactly do yall mean with cutting bracelets? for the crit/spec stats or the other stuff

radiant flame
#

for the damage lines

#

serenade isnt wrong

lone sigil
#

It’s basically impossible to not get an upgrade in 200k considering you can buy 100 stat 3 open slot bracelets for a few thousand

radiant flame
#

if you just have a stat bracelet you're missing out on an easy 3-4% damage increase

crimson cobalt
#

i have additionally "charge" and vitality on it

radiant flame
#

they're not dps lines

crimson cobalt
#

it was the best out of the worst

#

so i took that

lone sigil
#

You’d roll 100+ spec bracelets with 3 open lines for cost efficiency

#

You dont roll ones with crit because crit can be substituted by a precise roll

#

And not having spec neuters you harder than not having crit if you were to roll a 2+ damage affix bracelet

radiant flame
#

I would...honestly fix your 5x3+1 first

lone sigil
#

If you’re willing to pay a bit more you can roll 100 spec with Int and 3 open lines

crimson cobalt
#

shall i go full ancient then, or just get the +1

lone sigil
#

Might as well full ancient if you can afford it

radiant flame
#

Getting ancient, with +1adr will be probably +10% dps increase to what you are on now with nightmare

steep moon
#

+1 over all ancient

radiant flame
#

If you build with 6/0 neck it will have to be all ancient

lone sigil
#

If not then leave one or two pieces relic

radiant flame
#

because your other pieces are all 6/3

crimson cobalt
#

thats nice

radiant flame
#

you can get one

steep moon
#

assuming u have double legen

crimson cobalt
lone sigil
#

The necklace

crimson cobalt
radiant flame
#

but you will need 6/3 igniter acc

#

which will probably be the biggest cost

crimson cobalt
#

so all have to be 6/3s

radiant flame
#

but everything else shouldn't be expensive

lone sigil
#

That’s going to run you over 200k if purple quality

radiant flame
#

but it means your neck can be very cheap and very high quality

lone sigil
#

Just for that 6/3

crimson cobalt
#

lemme see now

steep moon
#

unless u find a cheap 6/3 neck

crimson cobalt
#

dayum, someone tryna sell 6/3 with hit master for 500k lmfao

steep moon
#

theyll get it

#

or close

floral saffron
#

is it igniter hitmaster?

crimson cobalt
#

y

radiant flame
#

thats not bad

floral saffron
#

thats why then yeah

radiant flame
#

80q hm for 100k

lone sigil
#

6/3 punisher raid captain sold for 3m on NAW last week

radiant flame
#

73q for 60k

floral saffron
#

just to do zdps

#

omegalul

crimson cobalt
#

but the rest does cost about 50-100k too, so thats a bit shiddy per accs

lone sigil
#

Well yeah

radiant flame
#

anyway. you should really get +1 at some point, that's just it

lone sigil
#

You’re playing an expensive class

crimson cobalt
#

yeah

#

fk me

lone sigil
#

And going full ancient endgame

alpine owl
#

guys this is mana recovery food?

lone sigil
#

Expect it to be expensive

steep moon
#

same mana regen

lone sigil
#

It’s also a guaranteed upgrade

steep moon
#

alot cheaper

lone sigil
#

That lasts until whatever they do after thaemine

alpine owl
steep moon
#

yup

alpine owl
#

ty

lone sigil
#

Bracelet is cheaper to get a 3%+ increase but it’s not guaranteed

#

Just highly likely

alpine owl
cold cloud
#

Damn I ran out Marvelous leap stone

steep moon
#

its like 5g per i think

radiant flame
alpine owl
radiant flame
#

you craft it in workshop

alpine owl
#

ah

radiant flame
#

unless you are sure you want to invest in food

#

i would...suggest you do not as you seem new if you dont know where to get it from

amber trout
radiant flame
#

food is expensive af

#

and you lose it on death or reset

lone sigil
#

lalalala I can’t hear you over the sound of me chewing on 50 steaks while progging akkan hm

alpine owl
radiant flame
#

like, unless you are doing some tryhard progging in a static group, just live with mana problems

#

like, outside of control glaivier, everything else is manageable

#

it will suck, but

#

not as much as wasting all your gold on food

lone sigil
#

You eat mana food for the mana, I eat mana food for the hp, we are not the same

alpine owl
radiant flame
#

idk man

#

just play the nightmare build

#
