it's Papa, Avel, Ealyn, and Vern Commander
maybe she's in wisdom isle?
but there's nothing there 
Is RS or EO Soulfist cheaper to build? This would be my first "main"
Uh I am not sure from what I remember I accepted the quest from one of the NPC's in the upper part

and this happen

Guys? is a Pleccia must have or it can be skipped? im kinda lazy do that with my main XD
Must for voldik

Both cheap
does it matter if the whole party is in the same channel for chaos gate
omg thank you, meanwhile i just go around trying to push my first character for her 2nd awakening when it just this simple to get it xD
any advice on getting some fps boost? i'm not on a high performance pc, si even a little is helpful, already done with settings (everything set on low, no pet, no hp bar and so on)
U dont need a high performance PC to run this game smoothly on normal settings. Even a 1k $ PC will be more than enough tbh.
Hi. In Lab is there Upgrade for Honing Success Rate 1390 gear?
nope, you can even be on different continent, you'll still enter the same chaos gate
as long as you're in the same group
nope, highest honing research goes up to 1490 (on base item level 1250 gears)
Thanks.
What is the difference between 1% Crafting Cost Reduction and Crafting Cost -1% ?
Sidereal energy drops from all akkan and kaya gates right?
it will never drop so dont think about its existence
Yea but that's not what I asked
No only the final gate has a sidereal drop chance
and it doesn't only drop from those
Is it possible to buy engraving books for silver? I dont have a lot of gold
No
shouldnt i receive an entry ticket if i dced in g4 brel?
or not
it appears as i completed the gate when i check the status

I mean, my previous answer still applies
i see
Then how do you work on getting your class engravings once you hit max level?
buy them, get more gold, gold is easier to get compared to silver just so you know
just dont buy blues or purples for like 2k gold or something, that's a scam
this games confusing af

I’m unsure why this specifically makes it confusing
All MMOs have some sort of currency you earn by playing the game
Gold is also not an uncommon currency
And you then spend gold to build characters…
Also…not that uncommon
I read somewhere there is a rod to make fishing easier with the net casting, I might be mentally unstable but I miss a lot of the nets I do lmao. Is there something to make it easier?
If you don’t want to/enjoy the idea of a grind then this game might not be for you
Yes, if you roll a rod with minigame difficulty reduction
how can I do this?
You…craft a rod
And pray
I suggest you craft a purple one to start with
If you need a recipe they’re sold by a stronghold vendor
Nah meant like, you hit max level, you barely have anything... Engravings are like a major part of a character, it changes how it plays. Without it I guess guardian raids are pretty bad to do... And you need a decked out character to earn money im guessing
Sure. But right now you have access to mokoko express which gives you engravings for free
If you are on jumpstart I believe they also give you a bunch of free books
hey there, does anyone know what item level gear do you get for buying elgacia powerpass? the 6.600 crystals one ?
- you can save 5.500 rc by knowledge transfer the char till SV (still need main char + gold tho)
So it's 1k crystalls if i knowledge transfer?
you still gotta hone iirc
what do you mean "iirc" ?
if i recall correctly
Yes, you can’t just KT and do nothing else
To knowledge transfer to elgacia you'll need like 1000 item level or something higher?
You have to hone from ilvl 500 to south vern
No you need to complete south vern
And then get to elgacia ilvl
Which I think is 1460
the powerpass lets you skip having to hone and kt / quest the continents
The guy just wants to give you an option of saving RC (and real money)
You can buy the powerpass if you want
I was thinking we'll get a story express when soul eater release but friend told me we wouldn't because we have one now
I used to kt and do the story for relic gear
hopefully a powerpass and some express event 
I hope we can get story express one again
I mean. The gear is easy to get. You realise the bigger expense is getting engravings
i have 15 engraving selectors saved 
Otherwise you’ll just have a character with relic gear who can’t do anything
i do but im trying to get all 6 characters with relic gear just to start doing raids
Anyway, you might have already thought of it
You need engravings to do raids
i mean it's always overgeared lobbies 1520+ idk
why do 1520 ppl do valtan isn't kaya better
I think you’re missing my point here
Kayangel is 1540
People do lower raids for cards
card runs
same (i'm los awakening 1)

I have 3 legendary selection packs saved
So you got just under 90 to go
XD
im on los 18 with 12 selectors and its still gonna take me atleast a year 
Imagine if they actually gave card selector in events instead of random legendary packs
Keep imagining
i mean express events give selectors
damn it

Toad also has selectors but toad is rare
Cards are one of the many systems they want you to spend money on to shorten the grind
i think they said they gonna do some rework for card system?
probably make it less painful or something alike idk
merchants are bearable now 
Whatever the rework Los 30/klc 30 is still going to be hard to get
yea right
Klc 30 without thaemine is just a dream
Make it too easy and they lose too much money/existing players complain about it
You’re expected to buy card packs for klc 30
And win every selector auction
If it actually shows up
But i kinda dont care after los 30
Rather get the lwc 30
which raids do you use KLC for tho?
instead of thaemine
kay
Klc is useless until it isn’t
i guess the new raid thats comin too
thaemine?
voldaik 
Not even voldis needs it
Voldike isn’t KLC
mhmh ok
Thaemine also not
It’s the next guardian
Maybe in future they bring another raid for klc
iirc
And after kazeros fighting the church and gods is likely
Well and sonavel
But klc 18 really helped to clear kay on release
And when that time comes, all the established players are rolling in klc18+ and use that as a gatekeep metric
Unless you have los30
there are like 5 weeks that i dont see the selector shows up in the challenge abyss
and the random legendary doesnt really help when you are after 1x card
free los12 give away smilegate
U need los 18 to be actually usefull
There are so specific raids that have weakness against elemental dmg
+7% dmg is really good tho
U rather get your deep dive to 30 while u dont get those two
at 18
since u can pretty much get it from merchants
i was thinking but it wouldnt be enough to get 30 dd for me, i got 3 legendary card selection packs and 3 balthorr cards while balthorr is at lv1 so meh cant hit it
Balthorr will came from merchant eventually
And u can get two when it cames
Cause the restock feature
If you are online ofc
They patched that
I only got delain armen once and when i visited the merchant the place was so crowded XD
They did ? @lone sigil
Luckily i got mine before the patch
oh
that's what they were talking about too
damn thats sad i didnt know about it
xD
Waiting for soul eater to came in, got a little bit tired of the game
you guys still dont have los 18 by now?
my los is 23 awk klc 19 just by playing game never buy any cards thing off ah.
I mean there are people who are newer
Who took breaks
Idk, how are you expecting people to start the game and have los18
just have good rng 
is this the right settings ?
I use item quality 40
what is this coin and where to find it
Gold Sources
You can select up to 6 characters on roster to earn gold from Legion Raids, Abyssal Dungeons, and Abyss Raids.
Sources for earning gold:
- Weekly: 3 Legion Raids (including Kayangel Abyss Dungeon) per character
- Weekly: Una Tokens exchange for gold chests
- Earn more tokens the higher ilvl your highest character on roster is
- Gain tokens by completing Daily Una Tasks and Weekly Una Tasks
- Weekly token limit is shared by characters
- You cannot redo daily una on alts but u can complete different ones to gain tokens
- Recommended to exchange for 500 token gold chest for chance at 10k gold
- Adventure Island Gold reward (occurs multiple times per month, gold amount scales with ilvl)
- Fate Ember random drop from Chaos Dungeons/Guardian Raids has a chance of giving gold
- Life Skilling
- Sell tradeable items on Marketplace/Auction House
- Guild Event/GvG distribution
- Content Bids
- Blooming Mokoko Event (once per account, daily) stand in event zone to start participation
- Completing Mokoko Shining Harvest Event
- Completing Express events
- Masterpiece Collectibles
O oke ty, I think I’m like lvl 45 is there a certain lvl u unlock all these
I just got to done with the mini elf ppl island
yeah getting gold before tier 3 (item level 1250+) is kinda hard
just keep doing the main story questline for now
Ye am still noob, tyvm for help
I got like a hundred chests in storage no clue what any of the items do and I’m afraid to pick the wrong thing
there a section on this guide for inventory management
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eLAKg7MghscVqcLN_TSJXi2tNYaPVU4-IJ3MdpWLPXM/edit#heading=h.7fyuwv8jvhbu
Got it, what does it mean when u run out of card space, I been spamming cards and sometimes it says this
Am I fucking up?
Is transferring data between accounts a thing or
guys i have a question, if i use powerpass, what does it do?
nah you're good
never delete cards, they provide a lot of small passive bonuses
if you have enough blue crystals you can extend your card catalog (Alt+C > Enhance) to get 10 more card slots
otherwise just keep extra cards in your storage for now
Okie ty
Can you change your characters looks after creating it?
yeah you have 24h after creating your character where you can freely change their appearance
powerpass is a way to skip the main story questline up to a point
for example a South Vern powerpass puts your character at item level 1415 and skips all continents up to South Vern
How would I go about doing that? Under which menu is it
in character selection, when you select your character there's a button to change appearence in the bottom right I believe
Thanks
Whats the best way to gain orehas? Ive been excavating, is the farm worth it at all ?
Life skilling normally is the “best” if you want to spend the time doing it
Stronghold farm is very inefficient
Excavation is fine. Hunting is best if you have the patience for it. But excavation needs patience too tbh
Dumb question; Because a level 10 gem is 19683 level 1 gems, and a level 9 is 6561, wouldn't that make it most "cost efficient"?
Make what
Can you rephrase your question, it doesn’t make sense.
Generally, level 10 gems are not as cost efficient as other upgrades. But you will need them at some point because there is nothing else to get
Okay
Say I want to get a decent gem for my characters during their journey without having to get out a mortgage right
Because a level 9 gem requires a third the amount of level 1 gems, but is not third the power of a level 10 gem, would it be smart to invest in those? Or just roll with 7 and stop trying to act enlightened
I mean sure. I mean level 7 gems are a ninth of level 9s
So do you never upgrade to 9?
stuff isn’t linear in this game
No, of course you will upgrade, I mean just something on the way you know
Look at the power gain you get from honing from ilvl 500 to 1490
It doesn’t cost any gold!

But for alts (and all characters) people usually go 7s, then 9s, then 10s
No ones forcing you to do anything. Just how you want to upgrade/whether you care to do so
Alright I see man thanks
Do we have some numbers on how many sidereals the average player gets in a year
no
What is the class coming after soul eater?
Don’t know. But most likely male scrapper iirc
There isn’t any official announcements yet I believe
Hi, I have a problem since the last update of Lost Ark. I play on Geforce on Mac, and Lost Ark doesn't recognize my keyboard. I don't have all my keys available (especially those under the numbers). Do you have the same problem? or did you succeed to resolve it?
someone said it before but i forgot lol, also is soul eater gonna be a assassin or female sword person
The average player? Zero. There are lost ark streamers who have never seen one
Stop thinking of it as a drop
At most, it’s a small chance at getting 400-500k jackpot. That is it
It’s similar to any bis accessory drop in that regard
Assassin female with a scythe
that's what i said like hours ago
Need to drill it into people
idk why he is still asking about a drop that even people playing for 2-3 years have not seen
Watch me
Ok
dont ping me if you ever see one
oh ight
Like, you also have to understand that the fact that it’s a sidereal energy drop is irrelevant - it won’t even let you make the weapon
It saves you what, 100 bucks from the 50-100k you will still have to spend
is it possible to solo the lullaby island event?
are there channels here that i can use to trade gems?
I’d reach out to GeForce now support and/or Amazon support if you can’t find anything on Google/reddit. Idk how to fix your issue.
hey, currently farming abyssal dungeons for cards, I often get tickets to renew my lockout, why is that ?
First clear on the character?
its not often, its once per char
its an old system
and yeah, might be because theses are first clears, I just started griding for it
so uh im doing the reconmend emote and still cant click on hay, am i doing something wrong here?
Might be bugged right now, other people are having similar problems
Does anyone know which bonus set is it for akkan? is it Bonus VS undead or Bonus vs Demons?
ah ok, worried over nothing, thankyou
Both
G1 and g4 (hm) is undead
Other g2 g3 demon
ic thanks
i got it done after server maintenance, might have to wait for that
what do i do when this comes up
Just play the game anyways.
your characters are stored on amazon servers
but i dont wanna lose my data...
what data
you have no local data other than game assets which are identical each patch
i've hit play anyway before and its been fine
can you get to 90% for east luterra without rapports done?
Save data is server side, not client side.
I don't think so
are you still supposed to be full argos at 1370? or can you continue to hone until relic?
As I have 2/8 done and only on 90.9
You can continue to hone. Read gear progression TLDR in pins
You can skip legendary gear.
But, if you're short of 90% you can just do one of the easier rapports
Also, unclear why you want 90%
It's it's for the statue, great sucess is garbage
hi guys is there any chat for all classes? i need to create builds on my alts and dont know anything (wardancer, glavier)
lostark.nexus is the hub for community guides or you can use the shortcuts to find class guides
There isnt an all class chat but you can pick up class roles in the id:customize and pick the minds of class mains
@balmy plank Thanks now i see other classes, now i need 2 find best build for wardancer with orbs or not thanks budd!
ok, since i finished feiton and I'm about to go to punika, I wont go now, will waist some time around. Do I start with T3 gear?
Gear was reworked fairly recently and T3 starts at 1250 earlier on
For now you just hone that and continue the story. There is a T3 progression guide in #guides-and-info that can help too
yea im already 1250, I just loged in after a year? and I was already 1250.
thanks i will check the guide
is abyssal dungeons chalenge worth it on 1490 ip?
do i gatta know mechs?
Kinda

It's the early game dungeons so there aren't really any hard mechs
You can also skip them if you just burst the boss
I mean, you need to know mechs for endgame raids too
Why is this such a disaster that you have to know a couple more
It’s really just yorn1 which generally doesn’t get skipped
Hi Everyone. I finished a Vykas legion raid and now it’s saying I can’t join as the gate progress doesn’t match with mine. When am I able to play the legion raid again?
Next weekly reset on Wednesday
Raids are once a week
Thanks
When im looking for specific engraving points on accessories, can I reroll those randomly? Or am I supposed to find one on the market place with the desired engraving settings?
You cant reroll accessories and youll very likely have to buy them from the market
The odds of dropping a good accessory are low and the odds of it being perfect for you build is lower. People just sell the stuff they get and buy the stuff they need
ok this might sound like a very stupid question but here me out
how do i calculate if its better to buy redflesh fish or oreha solar carp
is there mayhaps a calculator
for the 20k roster xp lol
farming roster xp rn
lol this feels even more pepega. Just run some cubes
But tome is important anyway I guess
true, it's w/e then
I'm just hoarding them rn to boost up my low roster lvl, no biggie
I think just work it out? It’s maths? I can’t remember the conversion rate but just look at the vendor …
Anyone knows how to fix this gramophone bug on stronghold? I cant get the "sweet dreams, my dear" song played for me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x503hVWRK5o
No sounds, nothing played for me only (The owner)
Visitor still hears the song as normal.
Need help T_T
Do you use Kr voice pack?
i do
Which side is better in legion raids "AS IS IN THE PIC"
right side unless weak to holy
There have been bugs before with jutebox songs not working on the kr voice pack. Im guessing thats the problem here. English song with kr voice broke the game
So if the bosses weak too holy it does mroe DPS?
yup
that seems to be the reason. Let me try changing voice
bet bet
there is an equivalent for weak to dark if youre interested. only really worth for kayangel though
How much does it actually cost to repair a tool where making another is worth it
what is the current meta on pirate coins and bloodstones. What is worth buying and what isn't
best way to get silver ? i got 3 alts for LOPANG but its not helping 😦 ... feels like the silver its insignificant
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1A4IrXq2p_OjIb--ImOqAO4Ju8hK9GHXxqnySrp79gSk/edit#gid=649752365&fvid=1557736223
there's a tab for Bloodstones and one for Pirate Coins
awesome thanks
chaos dungeon daily and lopang una
also
?silver
Silver Sources

- Fate Ember: As a random drop from Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids there is a chance for varying Silver amounts to be rewarded.
- Quests: As you level to 50, and any quests on future continents post 50, you will earn smaller amounts of Silver.
- Rapport: Many rewards from NPC Rapport include Coins that can be consumed for some Silver.
- Cube: You will receive Silver as a reward for completing any Ebony Cube.
- Adventure Islands: These happen at various times throughout the week. Keep an eye on your Procyon Compass (top left of screen, blue icon) to see what is available.

- Amethyst Exchange: You can exchange the limited Amethyst currency for Silver. (Not Recommended)
@outer masondamn... im doing this things already but damn 😦 honing once its like 2 mil atleast
didnt think il end up with silver shortage lol
generally if you run out of silver it means you don't have a well established roster and you do honing all the time
@outer masoni play 5 chars and 3 lopang alts. 1580 and x4 1540 and x3 alts 1460 for lopang
Is it possible to use a warrior character preset for a sorcerer or anything like that?
@neat solarno
yea i seen it thx
Adding on to this, when a boss is weak to an element it’s 10% more damage, but the only bosses weak to holy are vykas and gate 3 brel so most of the time you will be using DD until u get los 18
Hi there, just a quick question, is maxroll "calculator" really accurate ? I'm trying to plan for SE release but the values on screen seems awfully low for some reason, or maybe i'm just the one using it wrong, no clue 
Well u have it on full pity
You need to highlight from where you start to hone, to where you plan to finish honing
You have currently from +18 to +19
i see i see
ye u start at 1415
u have it as if ur starting on brel gear 1570
Yea, I prefer the worst case approach
So that'd be this way if I got it right
yep
your going straight to 1580?

Well, I think. Might be wrong lol. I only remember rate for the later hones
Anyway my get out is that we don’t know what express we get so 😄
Ye I can’t remember either since stronghold also gives u that
1580 
Yep and the global honing buffs
I'm not sure I understand this mokoko express thing. It shows me the two builds available. Does this mean you get every gear and stuff for that specific build? Or is it just temporary until you finish working on your character?
If i have finished my 3 gold end game aquisition ( valtan,vykas, clown ), but i can reach 1490, should i hone for 1490 and do brel g1 without the gold and just the mats? or is it not worth it?
You get every gear and engraving for that build, yes. It's temporary until you finish it I believe. So at 1540 it locks in. Until then you can swap between the two to play each
Finish what? The mokoko powerpass?
After finishing I get to keep the items and engravings forever?
yeah you should do g1.2 for the mats
Oh cool
1490 let’s you do G1-G2. Only do it if you’re in a rush to get full ancient set.
Yea, its not explained very well, thanks a lot
But if not in a rush, just take your time then.
Can I swap the gems and skill settings around freely? Or do I have to lock myself into this?
You have to switch everything yourself manually
Alright
However your free gear won’t be able to be changed
So just choose one and stick with it for a bit
By gear I mean accessories
Pretty sure you can auto-apply then swap the ones you dont want manually (like skill)
Yeah you can for skills, just keep in mind you’ll have to change skills/tripods yourself
You won’t be able to just switch all 8 skills over in an instant
Think I've seen this big window in someones youtube video where you can see everything together, could you tell me how to open that up?
"P" ?
This guy had the windows like this. When I press P it only shows my character screen only. Not this window. Or is this because he is inside the training area?
Or Alt+E for mass preset
Oh that’s Alt+Z
It’s for training area and some other content
oh okey so thats a different thing
Yeah
The training area one doesn’t save btw
But Alt+Z (book of coordination) you set it up for hell mode raiding and PvP
I'm doing some chaos dungeons for gold in una tasks, but theres too much loot dropping. Im item lvl 960 from story and doing the ilvl 805 chaos dungeon. Do I need to activate pet to auto pick up items aswell and auto-dismantle or how do you guys do that?
Activate a pet and use auto dismantle if it applies to you
yeah, I dont think I need the gear from current lvl chaos dungeons if continuing the main story will give me better gear. Thanks
how often is this mokoko express event active? Guess if I chose a character with it I cant swap around anymore?
Usually for those express events, 1 week after it ends another one will come out
Above North Vern
Ah cool
You don’t see it as in you’re at the spot in-game?
Or you can’t recognize the map image
Yep
Indeed
is punisher slayer, a back attack champion?
yes, it's a back attacker
where can i find the honing calculator?
Maxroll has one
- what Akkan gear is 1600 ?
full +15
only +15 is 1600 ?
yes
how much is +20 ?
1630
cool thank u
the rates do get very low and expensive after 1600
arna spreading misinfo smh
gib gold
hello i just joined the jump server i was wondering if someone can help me
What do you need help with?
Also best to ask in your region’s channel or #jumpstart
what armor should i get i am a specialist
what class
specialist
what advanced class
aeromancer or artist
yeah but which one
artist
yearning
When you have time in-game, try to complete a guide quest that has the words “gear set” or something similar to those two words.
It’ll allow you to change gearsets at no cost in-game.
Should be a quick 1-2 minute quest
@stiff ingot
okay ty
Is there an optimal farm setup for hp potions and or orehas? I'm lazy ND don't wanna lifeskill for a bit
be a support and no need potions
No optimal farm setup tbh. I would just experiment and first do 1 row of flowers. And 3 rows of excavation.
If you need mushrooms as well to make HP potions, then take away 1 additional row of excavation.
This is only applicable if you have all 4 rows of stronghold farm maxed out.
Ok tysm
That new craft a skin system , can we craft all the normal items avaible or do we need to drop then first in order to be able to craft
There’s specific achievements you need to complete to craft it
is it 1 achievement to craft everything?
is rowen adventure tome hard? do i need to do pvp?
no yes
how do the rapport costumes work?
ive only just started playing and realized there are some you can buy and then some you just get from rapport
finish npc rapport
it gives bonus in your stronghold
so its not a actual skin i can wear?
no
oof 
Different achievements for each piece/set
Pretty much all base gear looks the same or recolors of the same thing. If you wanna look different, you need to use skins.
You can get them from the cash shop using money or from the market using gold.
Where do I get time memory skins from?
not even the raid gear or the chaos dungeon gear looks different?
Not really, no.
or cookie farm some pieces
damn thats kind of dissapointed
Hello
how many mats do I get from clearning the 2 gates of Oreha Well's?
Can someone explain the Transaction fee (5%) on market bc the 5% is not based on the total price
so idk what its based on

yo, what order do you focus when gearing a character ? like honing 1st or 5x3+1, quality etc

Honing and having a proper build with correct stats and at least a 5x3 for dps with proper gems is usually all equal importance
You don’t skip one for the other
Quality is usually last
is reaper out already? no, right?
reaper is out since 1 year 
Reaper has been out for a hot minute.
Wait so does heavy armor 3 give you like x2 survivability basically?
yes
no heavy armor on paladin
im using heavy armor on pali
thats stupid
not like you would die without it
i would
ok so it means youre just bad
yup
how long does it take to level up a new class roughly? i got 2 boosts availble on fresh start
im talking with and without the boosts
like char level or item level
rooughly 17-20 hours from beginning till south vern (1415)
thats with or without boost?
but thats without the honing part, its just just the story skipping with shift+G
without
oh thats it? ok nice
char level is at most a few weeks if u have no chars already at lvl 60, honing can depend a lot depending on what ilv ur aiming for and what ilv ur at rn
but with boosts and training etc it can be done very fast (char lvl)
lvl 60 is way more than a few weeks
depends on whether they have 1 or not
whats more important is getting 50 fast and start honing
this whole game is based off item level tho right?
ah got it, thanks. this was my mixup
yeah but u can "over level" ur skills at lvl 55 and 60
for more dmg
but yes gear is king
but lvl 55 and 60 gives you the ability to level your skills to 11 and 12
for more dmg
oh 100% i bought a founder pack but been having trouble finding the time to play consitantly

the story isnt really playing the game
sadly true^
i prolly got like 3 of them so the story boost is just skipping cinematics? powerpass brings you up to item level?
(on how to run around on a map)
i got all these store points too
story boost you do all story but you dont need to hone the gear
powerpass skips all continent and brings you to one of the latest zone
- gives you gear
hm ok tyvm
i got 2 powerpass and 2 story express, but you can boost characters via the strongholds right?
kinda trying to min max ATM while i got the time trying to figure out my best coarse of action before i proceed
i just have a hard time commiting to a class lol i literally spent hours testing everyone 16 iirc?
nailed it down to 4 all in starter zone
and reading the guides in this discord
appreciate the help none the less
ideally u do those story expresses and use the pwoerpasses and then u'll have 4 chars at 1415
link is dead yo
if u wanted 2 more, u get nvern passes too, which gets u to 302 then u hone + KT(stronghold boost)
lostark.nexus
idk who can fix that from the mods
i assume if i knowledge transfer a charcter, they dont get the rewards from story express?
exactly
does it lock them out of the whole thing? or just the region i KT?
ok ty
The link in the destoyer chat works at least
or u can go on lostark.nexus
wonder why only 3 supports
No, just fix your shit cuz
they're working on stuff last i saw somewhere around here
so i see 2 trixion pass thats the same as south vern?
lol ok ty
11 min double support Kungel because the two DPS each died twice, the first two deaths procing their mokoko thing and they blamed us supports for their deaths - which were from not finding a geyser.
not sure if this is the right place to ask this but does anyone know why my lost ark will say its running but not fully launch? steam says its running but task manager doesnt show the game running and the screen never comes up. I tried reinstalling and validating and neither worked
hey guys, returning player but kinda new (never achieved lv50), is there any classes tier list? I dont want to spend resources in a character that wont be accepted into raids
tier lists are pointless
doesn't exist, you play whatever playstyle and build you enjoy, damage tierlists are not applicable in the game
play what looks cool to you
so find a class and build that you think you'll enjoy
takes about 5minutes to load, if ya a new player and didnt know
but don't try to DPS as a support.
nah i have 3000 hours in the dame and its been loading for over 10 min
might be worth verifying files on steam and/or reinstalling
i did both

my daily rewards 
Is true if we do a bingo on second bomb on kakul instead of the third bomb is a wipe? needs to use innana? how this bingo really works?
bingo on second bomb 
The bingo does have to be completed on the 3rd bomb. If you bingo on bomb 2 you still need a bingo for bomb 3. Inanna can protect you from 1 failed round of no bingo
you either bingo on third or use innana. if there's a world where you can bingo 2nd and 3rd...congrats?
bingo gives a short duration buff that makes you invulnerable to the wipe attack, it lasts basically the time between bomb detonations
Ty all 🙂
kill before bingo 
Does the lvl2 atk reduce affect Bard much or no?
Ok pls dont go drops of ether, its a shit engraving
Especially if its not 3
And yeah, u should stack defense reduction instead
I just build with the stuff I had tbh I only bought necklace xD
I will build a proper build then with VPH
Thank you guys
yeah atk and defense reductions have next to 0 downsides for you
I hope u have correct stats at least
yeah a build with only things you have found with both correct stats and engravings
is pretty rare

everytime
but gl finding ppl to do it with
do purple pouches only ddrop on 1580 chaos gates?
i keep forgetting, if im at +7 currently do i select it or nah? working on alts atm nd dnt wanna overuse bags/chests for mats
1540 nd higher
is Deepdive30 still > LOS18 if you're running salvation and have 100 weapon quality?
Yes
seems so
select wat?
JS or regular server for a new player?
JS
As a js player I actually agree
its kinda dead so might as well just play normal servers and get into learning parties in there
Yeah js should be merged asap
the only benefits u ACTUALLY get, r like, faster clown set, and dd30 faster, and 1-2 1415's more, but thats about it, if ur bothered doing story expresses
like do i select the boxes at +7?
ilvl progression is basically the same
i mean, u need to hit +15 on that gear
if u need the mats, then u need them
but i'd onyl choose shards
since all the other mats r 1g each

And one of the leapstone boxes gives 750 tier 1 leapstones so 1 is enough
yup
i got some boxes that give 50 harmonys or 50 life leapstones
so i just dismantle the 50 lifes for 150 harmonys

YOU ARE MY SAVIOR AND I LOVE YOU
You want to do jump start cause of events
You can do that?
YEP
It’s actually really good for cards
Those are some old boxes

how is finding a group?
this is all on jumpstart, i think it was some island box
quick question from a new player, if i knowledge transfer does that also increase the characters ilvl?
not sure but i got a bunch
No it only completes the story
no
Need to join a discord or join a guild if you can’t play at high online population times
ehh, dd18 is ez on normal servers
u just get more balthorrs on js
but dd18 is passable imo
The current event gives them like 4 selectors for legendary cards
they still aint reaching max balthorr
im like, 3 +3 atm on my js char
which is the same as 0 when u have dd18 alr
Gets them closer to DD 30 compared to playing on a normal server
Also the rewards from shining harvest are also pretty good
in exchange for trash market, no pop daily events, jailed raids with learners acting like reclear?
theyre meh
u get a bunch of accs and stones that r basically useless, cards that just give xp after u max them and faster clown is w/e
since ur gonna be doing clown up til 1580
It’s hard for them to be able to buy any good accessories on normal servers though
Where are they going to get the pheons from tho
you cant even find accessories on js, how is it better?
people literally building 4x3 there because thenres nothing
and then they will need to replace everything when they will join normal region
I can't even build 4x3
a 5x3 on JS is horrid
omg
i went 4x3 on slayer nd gonna do that for rest of my alts until merge

Same
and merge wont happen before the express event finish so
ye
I don't mind it taking a while to get leveled and geared i just want to make sure i have people to play with and a market to work with to get geared up
dont you get a bunch of free books on js?
I understand the market is dead, but the trade off for the event loot is worth it imo.
wat books u thinkin of?
leg combat?
combat engraving books
cuz no, u get nothing
yes
You get 10 leg selectors from express
or at most, like 2
people say they get grudge for free
huh
u get 5 class
from super, same as normal
where'd u get 10
think they can be used for combat too
I think he’s referring to how new players get 2 hyper express
i mean, thats not js specifically
and i wouldnt even say thats that big of an incentive lol
so its better to have difficulty to have a normal build on, wasting pheons on it and then 1 month later, u need to rechange your build with pheons because no one will accept that on normal region?
2x express is pretty nice?
also with express its not like you need to build anything
i dont like that trade 
idk
Yeah the pheons you get is crazy from js server.
yes but express ends before merge
I got around 400ish pheons rn
its only 10 more
cuz of the js event shop
Yeah
"crazy"
But cheaper event tokens as well
Idk, I think just double the loot is already pretty good
Pheons so expensive
You get 150 from the express
you still need to rebuild everything
doesnt add up to much when its all that extra stuff for 1-3 taps more at 1560+
well, if this is the case then that's js dead for sure
naw is like that
Yeah party finder sucks
multiple people complained about it
You just got to join a discord
or, u just play on normal
i mean, it's swings and roundabouts. nothing wrong with normal servers. i think js might still be fine, if you just take it easy and not grind like madman
if you want to grind, normal servers probably better i guess
Js will be dead by then
well im glad i asked before starting lol i definately want to grind, i want to see the raids. Will probably just go up on a normal server and try to find a learners guild or something
Yeah they should merge earlier
well, I'd take some time, learn about the game mechs, before you start on the grind
Idk, I’m simply arguing for JS cause of the event rewards
negligible in the long term
I'll probably do a run through the campaign to learn the mechs and stuff
the guides here are very useful, and maxroll are good for game mechanics
4 selectors from event is so insane in the long run
you learn nothing doing the campaign
this
do not run story to learn stuff
run story if you want the story
u learn how to run around the map
4 more balthorrs is a lil bit more now that u cant double buy from merchant but ehh
thats about it
if you want to play use the powerpass
and follow the powerpass/express guides in the pins
and then follow a build guide for your class
basically everything is in the pins

yeah i joined that first one earlier, didn't know about the NAE specific one
is there any form to trade my actual set for another one?
Most guilds won't recruit new players so ill just have to pick a very pop NAE server and just hope i get geared enough there
Gear set?
J, Guide quests. There should be a short quest that unlock Gear Set Transfer
yes gear set, i want halucination to other one
You csn freely swap your set around as you please after
You shouldnt no
This game has jank UI
You can do it in any major city at the npc
We've had it since North Vern
is there a way for me to get gold from one server to another server?
List an item on the auction house and buy it from your other server
this gear set transfer is for ever or just while im a mokoko?
Forever
Forever
nice!!!
well im tryhing to get it to jumpstart so that probably doesnt work right
No, you would have to wait for the market to open up to the region
i see people saying currency exchange but im not sure how that work
No don’t do that way
There is no way to move gold to or from JS right now
JS is effectively in its own region
And regions are effectively separate games
fair i guess ill wait for market merge to transfer then'
Can someone help me out im on lvl 49 of fortunespire tower as a paladin. Yes I know a paladin.. but i'm having trouble clearing. Someone has a eng - skill spec to suggest? Not sure what I should run
u have engraving support?
also try, using dark bombs, scarecrow and timestops tho idr wat lvl 49 was about
tho ur 1580 right? u dont have a dps build?
49 there is 2 boss that's why it's hard for me, I run judgement-grudge-cursedoll and massincrese with a chaos build for dps skills
i feel like my damage is low its taking me forever to get them down.. its 1 boss then when you kill it there is another that spawn
hey guys need help i want to make a scrapper but i want to know is it a good class for a casual?
Ok so it is that one then. You just got to take your time. Especially since you’re on jump start.
yea i need to dodge more basicly lol
Try to take all out attack and adrenaline instead of mass increase
Do you have a 5th engraving?
nope its just a dps spec
im using a legendary pet yet my inventory isnt expanded ? is there something i need to do?
So no engraving support?
Go to stronghold pet ranch NPC
And get a ticket to expand inventory
so i'd need to get 2?
Get 1 first
or you cant unlock the 2nd row
I don’t remember if the 2nd row is even unlockable
thanks
i have full 5x support engraving.. but if I use them I will do even less dps
ok np.
Just gonna have to take it slow then. Bring time stop
engraving support vs support engraving
Jump Start Class Advice lostark.nexus/classadvice If you are struggling with Inventory/UI and feel overloaded read this: lostark.nexus/quickstart This is a little guide to help new players decide on a build for Jump Start servers. We will be recommending relatively easy and low investment opt...
but yes, tai scrapper is a relatively easy class
thx ❤️
is NAW pop really that much lower than NAE? i'm still not too deep to swap
main servers is fine
for both
markets seem fine for both. about equal listing
pf is more sporadic
man i can't decide i'm 3 weeks deep on nae
i get 50 better ping

I need to complete The island illusion to unlock Blue-Blazing Blade Quests for unlock Guide: Elgacia
there's a chain of prequests, look above and see what you have to complete
Balthorr's missing and I can't click Locate button
is he not on illusion bamboo island?
are you on the zinnervale rapport quest? 🙂
no It told me to go to Great Castle before Go find Balthorr
when people say certain classes are bad for dpsing, i.e low dps ceiling (aero, co summ i guess, GLs), how bad are they actually? like in terms of % difference with top dps classes
for people with hands, pretty noticeable
I looking how to complete in youtube and he is here
without, nothing
how are you usually supposed to get pirate coins? the ship exchange?
pirate exchange, islands, una's
most people just use the coin chest and exchange
what is the most chosen scrapper class?
do we actually have those stats? that'd be awesome
At this rate China is going to get api before we do
wouldn't be surprised
is it necessary for a brel g3 bus (cube bos) to have a stagger bot? we doing it 4 man with atleast 1 high stagger job
which ability is this of scrapper? i cant find it
If I want to learn the mechanics of the game and the classes, which website would you guys recommend? Is maxroll still the go-to?
Lostark.nexus for class info and builds
we dont have it
its the new skill they are getting with ptr
icic, is ther any recommended replacement for it?
oki tyty
Anyone know what's a fair price for rerolling gems for someone?
Guys any info of SG for Horizontal content? like sea maps
is there a way to know if ive done witches house yet or not today?
They are “working on reworking” the sailing content
Nope.
It’s maybe 3k gold for 1 million silver. I’ve seen a few people say that.
If i do brel HM g3 i can't do normal g4 right ?
you can
oh, ok thanks
Hello
When Honeing epic gear, what's my stop point?
For skills with multiple layers of damage tipods, are they additive or multiplicative?
So is Weak Point Detection multiplicative with other damage increase tripods?
1490 ilvl, I forget what + level that is.
ty
after that I should play valtan and vykas for relic gear right?
Yeah, refer to the pinned gear progression Google doc for more info.
ty!
Check the second link #lost-ark-help message
u can kinda check in game skill usage %'s, tho not sure if theres a skill that doesnt overlap on builds
during the shandi trial I used the stuff on the ground on at least 15 shandi, I dropped it because I thought it was bugged and now I cant interact with the stuff on the ground anymore. Any fix
relog?
No
so theres no downside in playing sup anymore?
Maybe doing the story gonna take a while but other than that?
I mean, red portal was hardly a downside
But imo playing a support only has upsides in this game (for those that can stand playing the support role)
do you want to do sailing content
it's lvl 15 I think every time until you reach brel then it goes above
Just use your base ship
Sailing is dead content
Can upgrade your estoque a bit if you want
why cant i use story pass on character it shows me this
get to prideholme first
oh ok thx for answer
Hi All, so I've just reached Luterra and have access to 4 engraving combat bonuses (Contender, Drops of ether, Lightning Fury & Necromancy) for a Sorceress which one would be ideal to begin with?
non of them are usefull right now but dont worry about engravings till your lvl 50
if u have any book bags, try getting spirit absorption so u can run around faster
or preemptive strike to one shot lesser mobs
