they are not autoassigned
So bros telling me what I did now
thats better
I joined it hours ago and only been on now
well yes because there is no other way to get that role 😄
isnt like 10am in naw right now?
well, usually there arent many raids in the morning
That called ocd in trash game
This shards looks so tempting
No man don't pick shards thats a scam
guess i can wait for tmrw to be finally done with 1580
Time for akkan
so that jar is like a gamba for outfit right
Yes
i made over 100k profit with those jars :D:D:D
good times
i got leg sorc weap from the free pass ones xd

Hello, this Mokoshit is still bugged ?
I’ve heard that only a very limited number of people can do it per day.
I see, thank you 
how do i get more cloth
i need 7 for 1 more tap 
does it have to be a 3 time trade ?
No
so this works ? 
Which ancient set do I want for a reflux sorc? the nightmare resonance or screaming hallucination
any that doesnt have "cannot be dismantled" works
nightmare
thank you ❤️
okioki gamba time
gonna finally get some of my ancient pieces 😄 did Brel 1&2 yesterday hahaa

one more noobesque question.... does the ancient gear come in a low gear score? its like 1390 T_T I have to hone it? T_T
you transfer your relic quality to it
is that the gear transfer merchant?
The same as the honing person
Oh
a tab at the bottom
the honing npc has transfer gear
Oooooooh
1 tap 
i wanted the pink one tho 
thats ur rng for the next month used up, have fun pittying
sell it, buy pink
yo i want to switch mains, currently my "main" is 1540 reaper with the events both active, and my arcana that i want to play instead is 1430 something. Do I wait for next event before pushing my arcana?
and do i get reaper to 1580 first?
how can i sell it 
wait 3 days
you can sell it 3 days later
yes
can i wear it then sell it after 3 days ?
yes
It will lose 1 trade
no?
^this
If it loses 1 trade, itll cost someone pheons to buy it so generally it sells for less
thats the whole reason why its cheaper
thats why i said
it will be less gold
Sure, you can list it for the same price. Just saying generally its cheaper with less trades because there is also an added pheon cost so people spend less
oh
^this
are there any euc peeps doing gold loans? lolz
the special site does daily
?
Gl
rip
ideally u dont wanna buy non 3 trade skins cuz it costs extra pheons
also, pretty sure it doesnt
just binds it to roster but that does nothing for market
It does, I have tried
Now list it and look at what the market shows
omg..
thats cuz thats wat its gonna be when they buy it
cuz its been traded once after they buy it
uh
no
that would mean they start at 4 trades
xd
(which they dont)
u buy it and it becomes 2
It’s the same for accs
yes, but it will not show as 2 trades left on market
which is what braden was hinting at
It does show as 2 trades on the market
It shows what it’ll become when you buy it
If you hover over the actual acc it shows it as 3 trade though
guys guys, on kakul - bingo stage - if you used inana - no bingo is done - will it still do the damage to kakul afterwards? or the dmg that happens to him is from a bingo been made?
Dmg will still happen to kakul
thank u <3,
ahh i decided on what to do
ill get my bard to 1520
best point for return on investment regarding the timespan left until event start
should be doable with 60k no?
already have the stuff for 1510-1520, so basically just need 1415-1490
but where am i jumping to
1520 doesnt do much tho...
well, it gives you access to brel g4..
ye but 1540 is way to expensive
wouldnt be profit until event
1510 (full brel) to 1520 (acces to g4) is about 8k
on avg
so pays for itself with g4 being biweekly still
going to 1540 would be 70k+
in raw gold
not including buying mats
ah its 12 and 64
but still
remove the shard cost
not gonna make up 52k with kaya nm in 6 weeks
huh?
unless you like a certain gamer2gamer interaction or whale you dont buy shards
Thats like the biggest mistake you could possibly make
that calc is not including buying shards
thats what im saying
RAW gold cost
for honing
not including mats
if u could buy all of those mats for 63k youd see me sprinting to whatever store that is
trust
Please enjoy my collage of I was right 
let it go, they're gonna say its wrong again, trust xd
ty spooky for believing in me
what's the best way to get 500 gold?
Run a guardian and sell leaps
i wish i could transfer shards to alts 😦
my parked SE has 300k
thatd fund half of my bard to 1540
just save till march and hone then

thank u next
my guy
why would i pay the same price in 2 months
or most likely more
since new class release
and miss out on 8 (eight) weeks of raidgold
you wanted to get your bard to 1540 yes
1520
what ilvl is it now
ill do 1520-1540 on event release
1420
so instead of doing valtan NM if there ever is a lobby
ill do vykas HM, clown and brel nm 1-4
x8
thats not only paying the same price now that id pay then but also 10s of thousands of profit
any more bad takes?
please enlighten me
thats only calculating extra raids, not higher level gem droprates etc etc.
so from what i undertsand you want to get your bard to 1520 then use the event to hit 1540

no
did i understand that right that if i want to have LoS and LC i should always choose "Legendary Card Pack" (as opposed to Unity or Abyss)?
correct
abyss
abyss is only for LOS + KLC
Weekly gold at 1520 (Raids only):
Vykas HM G1 - G2: 2400
Kakul Saydon G1 - G3: 4500
Brelshaza NM G1 - G3: 6000
Brelshaza NM G4: 1250 (since bi-weekly)
Total Weekly: 14150
Total over 6 weeks (til event): 84.900
aka missing out on 85k gold for absolutely 0 reason
thank you, can you tell me what's unity for then?
or did i miss anything? @shy chasm
yes, and if u want LOS you also want KLC
0 reason to not do
unity gives access to some extra cards like varkan from Voidis, not worth ever picking unless you finish the two sets you need
i'm support main and missing manny cards though
this is only one 1 char?
yes
??
which is the bard?
oh i see, so it has cards that are touside of LoS, LC and KLC?
or the char you already have at 1520
correct. not including possible income from bussing
???
every character at 1520
yes, again if you want LOS and LWC, pick the legendary card pack option
general calc
dont
bro is a support main, he doesn't need klc????
istg
you're delusional
oh my bad, forgot the LoS Supps 
so how many do you have rn
how does that matter for the calc?
Understood, just wanted to know what unity is for in general for later etc. Thank you for the info. :)
huh
nah we had a troll dw<3
Unity is LWC and voldis cards
yup yup
Noice
have 1, can make 3 if needed
is it better to cube solo or group? or are the rewards the same?
Sorry for late reply I was out buying food
matchmake cube
Group
rewards are the same
Cube doesn’t scale down
always matchmake cubes
what did u get? 😄
also we should have ppl need to take an iq test or sth to be allowed to give advice
some of the stuff spread in here is crazy
you're included in that lol
oh then waiting doesnt make sense ig i thought you already had a full roster to play with or atleast more than 1
Unnecessary
nono thats why im calcing what to juice rn
Fettuccini, chicken, garlic, and some Parmigiano-Reggiano
just cause they want LOS doesn't mean they'll need KLC, have a lot of support main friends that have dps <1540 that just keep for extra gold
LOS is for ALL content, while KLC is only for 2 things
sweeeet
are those just for books and not for card sets?
iam ilvl1503 and iam out of oreha fusion material. Is there aways to get them without life skill or market?
There are card sets
no
It’ll be the meta set for guardian raids with front and back attackers
yes
BUT
if u want LoS you have a dps character, correct?
oh..... does it take long to farm them? never did Life skill before
Oh I see, good to know that those will be irrelevant for me, even for alts. Thanks man :)
not really, what I do on my lowlevels is go to bellion ruins and fish there while watching netflix or something. should get you enough materials for a few crafts 🙂
i mean some people just want it just in case they make a dps alt. if they pick abyss, they lower the odds of getting LWC cards if you include KLC cards in the pool, which makes zero sense according to their priorities
correct
BUT
if you need LoS
you will at some point need KLC
correct?
yes
but that's not RIGHT NOW
so the only reason your not making it is because no gold or you do have the gold
so why would they pick Abyss now?
is 1503 low level? And does fishing give the most t3 oreha?
because finishing LoS30, LWC30 and KLC18 is a long term thing, correct?
klc 18 isnt long term
so why prioritize the set with commons, rares, epics and legendaries
so @warm tendon @static drift can the two of you drop it?
when you have 2 sets with only legendaries
i think this is a valid discussion, maybe I am actually wrong and can broaden my knowledge
You are
but that's not the point
The legendary card set has only legendaries....
This chat isn't the place for you to argu
correct
dropping it there
hence the name 😄
yeah, not the first time ur unable to argue ur point and drop it today ;9
im dropping it not cause of inability to argue
I mean I asked about LoS and LwC, so he gave me the answer to my question.
but because this is not the riight place
fishing gets you lifeskill mats to craft Oreha Fusion Material
yet you still keep picking arguments
it isnt?
If you wanted to give me an answer to my question that's outside of the scope of my question you could've added mor context and it would've made more sense
no
i did
did i miss sth? lol
valtan,vykas,clown.brel,akkan cards ahve been in the game for as long as los
thamine was the only newish one
not initially, only because Vexicra gave a different answer than you.
*akkan use to be obtainable from legendary card packs and ghost ship
correct
I had max akkan before akkan raid
so if you are starting a new account right now its still a long term thing no?
yes and no
i didnt miss a single raid since i started playing and my LoS/LWC are progressed much farther than my KLC
that's just the power of rng
You could drop a brel/valtan/vykas/clown/akkan/clown every time you clear a raid
when did you start playing 
and be maxed with them before 3 months
you could
but u wont
realistically
Can i fish where i want or do i have to be on different places to get different fishes?
you could also only obtained luens/luterras/siens from legendary card packs and still be 2 years out from los 18/30
yup
any t3 zone
I'm supporting both our points
so how is KLC not a long term thing?
KLC is only for sonavel and kayangel tho. Future stuff doesnt use it
Its like a side chick
you still want to have it at some point
(long term)
thats what ive been saying
ofc its not your priority
I think you have a different idea of long term
okay let me phrase it differently
Is this about which legendary pack as a fresh player 
yes
yes and no
Do people really care about lwc when you have yhap
this is somone saying a support main should pick abyss over legendary card pack
you take whichever one fits your roster better.
yes
because said support main said they want LoS
cause why would a support main care about klc
which means they have a dps
if they have 0 dps alts
I personally would go pack 2 on new account only because you have a backup option on lwc30 albeit weaker
you have a backup option for klc/los too
If you dont care about klc gate then it doesn't really matter

Its not about usability
I have another question about cards i have 50x Challenger's Card Pack and 9x Splendid Challenger's Card Pack . I got 15x Seria but very low on anything else of LwC. I see there is a pack that got Executor Solar for example. But there are also Packs that got Master or Spears cards in it. Kinda lost what to pick here.
Quick question .... I'm stuck with level 10 inside my Stronghold (Pressed the Knowlage Button top right...) How can i leave my Stronghold now ? I do not have access to my Music ....
What were the legendary cards in lwc again
go for solas first
king thirain, delain armen, armen, and... zinnervale?
There should be a dock to sail out behind the manor at the back of the sh i think
Armen, King Thirain, Kharmine, Delain Armen
since you can drop purple selects from fate embers
no zinnervale
delain armen, armen, king thirain, kharmine
zinner is mos
Yeah im dumb ... ty
I think if you weight all 30 sets equal value, pack 2 is just safer. You have bigger pool to reach for lwc cards + merchants
oh wonder, thats what ive been saying
pack 2 has no value if they don't play a dps
if they dont play a dps they dont need los
then they go pack 3 then
There's no argument initially if they only play supp
they asked for los and lwc specifically
exactly
which is why the convo has been pointless
the original question was LoS and LWC
How do I unlock the event quest Treasure Hunt! In fermata?
if u need los you need klc at some point
klc has far more legendaries required than lwc
hence go abyss
yeah my bad, theyll leave their dps at 1415 for eternity
?
for one, the chances of getting klc from a legion raid are higher then other legendary cards
so if they do evenr need klc
Huh
youll eventually get it anyways
Since when
klc is its own pool
Yeah
So there would be 2 Packs that I could choose for that, Strong Courage and Fearless Knight. I don't know if I marked all the important card sets so I don't know if I'm missing anything here. Strong Courage would also have Kaysarr (for Romanticist), pretty fringe case set but the other seems to have nothing interesting.
random legendary is its own pool
So you can always hit lwc + legion commander in legion raids
more likely to get a klc card the nyou are to get los in its big pool
But you'll never see legions when farming card runs
Also los and lwc have merchant carss
players are doing more legion raids than card runs
that is IF you're doing card runs
@mellow mauve Just realized Fearless Knight has 27 cards and Strong Courage 34 so probably smart to pick Fearless Knight then I guess.
most players DO NOT do card runs
You are still running abyssals every week regardless
Yeah, ultimately still rng
round and round we go. Where this convo goes nobody knows
So there's nothing in those packs outside of the mentioned ones that could be useful right?
is it the same 3 adventure islands all day or does it change?
the islands stay the same per day except on weekends
where there's two sets of islands (morning/night)
Week days have 3 different ones for entire day. Weekend has 2 sets in morning and night
ohhh okay ty!
You can preview islands but i forgot shortcut
im talking just legions lol
I wouldn’t be able to tell you at this point in time since I’m not home. But there are some cards that are used for demon dmg but I wouldn’t be able to tell you all them off the top of my head
like i said you are still running 1-3 abyssal dungeons per char each week
1-2*
Understandable, you mean Master of Spears right? The dark equivalent to LcW. Guess I'm far enough from completing either one that I can still wait with opening them.
Nah, demon dmg is book set stat. But yeah, you’ll just be praying for purple selects and purple card drops during chaos for master of spears
is it worth spamming lopang on low tier alts for silver
i have 7 alts sitting at 805, but lopang only giving me like barely 10k
Oh yeah, don't know how I mixed up demon and dark damage. Thanks for all the info man. :) Was afraid that i might fuck something up by selecting the wrong ones.
I have a 5/5 common elixir and I don’t know whether to use it on pants or shoulders. Is crit dmg / additional dmg better than boss dmg?
its simple to get t3, 10k is pretty low and not worth
I heard Korea has a website that automatically picks out accessories off the AH for your engravings. Is that really a thing? Is it also in NA?
They have a marketplace api. We do not
dont think we ever will
AGS has said previously that we won't ever
any way to obtain these?
various events

like
not true
i meant like buying
not leap essence
they're still lifeskills
Cash shop and Mari shop I think are the only sources of it.
we haven't had life energy potions from events in a while
Bots went brrr
ah partypooper as always, well rip

open up elgacia guide quest should show u
it doesnt show what im missing, just everything there is, idk where to check against it
Hey what does book of judgement do? And should I save it for later or pick it out now?
talk to the npc near the return stone statue thing, i think thats the start to elgacia,do u see a marker somewhere there on map?
upgrades ur stone to lvl 4
save it for ur main if u dont have many books
im just getting one character to 1580 now with the event then ill try to swap to another main
save it or?
if ur not sure
which is ur main yes
books can take weeks
well months if ur not lucky
so yes
oke ty
hi, question, do i craft the 1390 ancient gear or what, ? i'm 1490 now ?
pin gear guild
brel first before honing
15 is soft cap for relic
Where do the amulest from chaos dungeons go?
I got some while doing the haos dungeon but I don't see it in my inventory
Can I change my char preset to one of the auto presets from inven or from the this discords presets etc. with a reskin ticket
they are for tripos
tripods*
i don't have any amulet in my inventory but while I was doing chaos dungeons it said I picked up an amulet
I hope not 💀
it should should up tthere even if you placed it in storage
so looks like you might have
@marble sun just a small tip&trick, you can use bifrost, a tripod (assuming you are on a continent and not an island) and song of return (F2) to get out of your stronghold
i didnt trash anything after doing the chaos dungeon
is it in your inventory
no
so you trashed
Not only via that exit, coz that's slow af

Auto dismantle?
but i think the amulet was only the lv3 or lv4 amulet but i have all tripods at lv4/5 already
yes
Then yes you didn't get a single lv5
ah
that makes sense then
i didnt know auto dismantle auto dismantled the low lvl tripods too but that is helpful
does anyone know can i change my preset like this
probably, see #presets pin maybe
Does anyone know if they changed the Set Upgrade costs semi-recently? As in, it used to be that 1 -> 3 was the same price as 2 -> 3. I seem to remember that changing, but I don't know for sure.
Cool, thanks
i checked but couldn' see such information. I didn' see anything like either i need a completely new character to use the presets.
try get a CM in official i guess to know more
yes you can
source: did it myself
so i dont need to create new character to use it ok tysm
sup
class?
Do you actually wanna play a game for fun or you just wanna cheap out and probably hate the class
1 or 2
Pick and I shall answer
yeah but for which class
isnt it always 2? xd
1 or 2
First before I answer
Remember an alt is an investment and it will take a while for it to pay for itself
If you're ok with that, destroyer
Also any transformation class, since 2 gems only
But spec is more expensive
Full spec*
Can someone explain why it says 5% tax but it calculates 7.14% tax instead? How the fuck do these numbers even come together??
iirc, grudge gt sa mb barricade. Might be full spec, but those engravings are... not in high demand lmao
Just read class guide and look at market
Overall mfer is cheap af
Pick whichever you wanna build, 2 options
I remember rage hammer being a bit more expensive, but yeah accessories were overall quite cheap
Just see the guide
I do not play destro myself
Rage hammer and gravity training
That's all I know
Only cause gt uses the cheapest engravings in the game 
Heard supply was an issue sometimes tho
why cant i use knowledge transfer on my 500 ilvl slayer?
trying to do it ON my slayer so thats not the issue
what are you trying to kt to
south vern
Also
You can't skip to SV directly, you have to KT EVERY SINGLE CONTINENT IN ORDER
And you have to hone to each continent's required ilv
If you're 500 you ain't kting Rohendel ever
any tips to increase fps? got i5 12600k rtx 3070 32gb ram and still kinda laggy
me and a friend are returning to the game and we both have many question about how we should continue and what to do?
what fps u reach atm? eu3+eac is the shitters
continue in what way?
whats eu3+eac
and i got like 90fps in city
and 50-70 in raid
unreal engine 3, easy anticheat
Like is the character I picked is ok or should I change, how to endgame stuff like this
every character is fine for endgame stuff
could maybe find stuff to add here in steam, see if they help

@glass iron you can read these guides to refresh yourself
why do people look for groups during chaos gate?
if you have more questions, you can ask them here
it's mainly for supports but also some synergy so people do more damage
some people just like grouping
for supports, if they don't run damage builds, they need to be in a party to get contribution
no
wait what?
oooh okay
You mean x50 shadow pull? Yeah clicking stopped being consistent to me a while back so i just space now
I done, chaos gate with dmg build and my support build solo
Hes agreeing with you
o okay nvm, thought support build wasn't enough if not in a party
long as you're tagging mobs, you'll get contribution when someone kills them

ahhh gotcha
Idk supp builds solo used to be an issue in field boss
and I haven't noticed a difference in reward grouping/soloing on support
but doing more damage doesnt give you more rewards right?
It was a legitimate concern but probably cause it died so fast
nope, just makes it faster
kk
once you reach contribution requirements, you get the same rewards
ty
if i buy a dex bracelet on warrior does it auto swap to strength?
No
idk if i'm blind but when i cast prelude of death on bard it pushes the enemies back a bit in chaos dungeons for some reason? i don't see any text that says it does this on tripods or the spell description
and i think also on heavenly tune?
some skills are just like that
i think every attack does a smudge of push
thanks it's so fucking annoying when i pull in with sonic vibration then wait for the meteor to clean up and then the trash gets pushed back a bit and misses the mobs
Did they nerf brel.gold already?
no
see pin
so you did nm instead of hm
?
That is weird, im 100% sure g3 was 2000g from nm
no
after the nerf, how much kakul would be giving gold ?
yeah it was 2k/2k/2k for G1/2/3 in normal, they changed it recently
600 / 900 / 1500
total 3000g
thank you
We'll see if they nerf it the same or less, we won't know for sure until official notes are released
I recall valtan was nerfed for less initially
So
Thanks god im.not crazy here
yeah valtan HM goes 2 rounds of nerfs
4500g -> 3000g
then
3000g -> 1800g
vykas 4500 -> 2500
2400*
🤓
wow fake info
Ima be honest I didn't answer coz I don't even remember the nerf to Brel g
I was 50 50
What I do know for sure is that people will bitch about it like they always do, with things like "We will never have enough gold to hone! It is very costly! Costs dozens of thousands to get to 1490 or less than that!!!!"
What I agree with is that the 1460 change to market was plain stupid
"how am i supposed to catch up when veterans have even more advantagenow!"
I can't defend that
FOMO
they changed so no gold for hone up to 1490
Orehas my dude
not direct gold spent
Orehas are a thing and a problem early
idk why they haven't removed blue oreha for honing to 1490
Fucking phone autocorrect
tons of newbie fail to understand how to get orehas
the blue text
You think new people will check every single detail and text?
many people fail reading oh well
Enough stuff they have to learn being thrown into the wild of endgame to have the mind and time to check that
If I was new I would also get super lost
I was lost enough when I was new, without being turbo’d into an item level I didn’t understand at all
I also had my fair share of stupid easy-to-answer-by-veterans questions when I was new
And I am a day1 player
Imagine fresh people nowadays
most i saw helped and still have in my fl quit after 3/4 weeks of not really beeing able to play raids
i have a whole group called RIP for them
Some will come back because the gameplay is sick
With the classic
"Is it worth to come back? Is the game still a job coz you need 6alts to catch up? Is it easier to get to endgame?"
nah they wont some are like 100days+ gone now 😄 they tryed it said combat was fun but honing all the rng system and not beeing able to get into raids killed it for them pretty quick
Bro, I've read dozens of posts on reddit and other places with the "I played for a bit but XYZ is it worth to come back?"
U played from the start they didnt they tryed it and went nah 😄
People from server open who never tried raids as well
I love the “is it worth to come back” LOL
if someone asks that i 100% say hell no 😄
We didn't even had raids at server open
Guardian raids don't count
They got to ilv 500 and quit
But I guess abyss dungeons do, i mean ngl Alaric's sanctuary was actually sick back in the days
Arguably easier to get into raids now.
8man abyssal was p dope
I did enjoy that on my T2 alts
i am only talking about new players that came with the powerpass stuff alot of them dont really last
from what i have seen
Yeah I mean, easy come easy go
Yeah they don't, for several reasons
But a lot do last.
i didnt do unas for a week cause i thought it was annoying
But some have some absurd expectations

Many people here in this Discord today are those players
They didn’t invest anything to check the game out so not much holding them here
rip leaps 
that is not the jedi chuan way
i could've made alts and farmed abyssals
Like, besides the "is it worth to come back" they expect to be akkan ready by next reset
from what i have seen in my personal space thats around 10 guys some i did learning clowns with to teach them never came back after a few weeks
That's plain dumb, but also this is the very first MMO for a lot of people
but thats only from what i saw
And it's a KR MMO so it's even worse
For every 10 you see that don't there are probably another 10 that do
playernumbers say otherwise tbh
One thing is for certain, the negativity spreads faster and wider compared to the positivity, see: Reddit
Player numbers dip and rise all the time for most anything
more people leave than stay, that goes for every game. also games like lost ark dont really rely on having more people joining than leaving to stay alive
Also player count rn doesn't mean a lot
they rely on having their existing players stay hooked (and spending)
Not to mention in our case has a lot to do with bot population kek
so as long as the population drop plateaus out, it doesnt really matter
do they ? u can see a clear down trend it went up for a while ( might be some bots ) and now its just on a stable down angle
Love me some dooming
Its been lower than this before and for a much longer period of time
the LA classic
Not to mention there are other KRMMORPGs that maintain very similar numbers and have been around in NA/EU for multiple years longer
Jumpstart surge into the holiday season, ofc there’s a fall off
My entire guild has been on hiatus since mid Dec
MS is a better example
nah this game will last for quit a while since the combat is pretty fun
MS too
developers scam the players, get fined by Korean regulators
but u cant say its perfectly fine
most of nexon mmos
Every game has issues of some measure, but gone are the days of MMORPGs maintaining huge population numbers
At least outside of WoW and FFXIV
And even those two games have respective huge dips during content lulls
people really arent aware of the KMMO formula
I've seen MMOs with like 5k players stay alive for years, even less ppl
which is "as long as we have a 5 digit concurrent players and the core audience is still playing and spending, everything is fine"
Tera was still rolling around years after I quit before it finally kicked the bucket
they dont really care that much about player growth, sure it's nice but what matters is existing players continuing to play and spend
I play an MMO that currently has around 1k , if that , active players. Lol. It's possible.
as long as those numbers dont really fall off, it's whatever
i mean in the end it was more like a dead man walking tho 😄
steam sameish
Yea but like think about how long it lasted lol
jp region lost ark is on shut down
JP don't play MMORPGs unless its FFXIV
the game failed in japan for a lot more complicated reasons other than "lost ark bad"
i mean low player numbers mean low server costs 😄 if there are a few whales left they can keep it alive for a while
japan has never been a pc gaming country
they also dont like their time consuming, sit at home grinds when easy entry games like apex exist or mobile games
with all the mmo type anime thats coming out there kinda surprising maybe they are not really into the whole rng p2w stuff 😄
for rpgs, they want their strong story, rich worldbuilding and characters
which ff14 provides, on top of being part of the beloved ff franchise
meaning they have standarts we dont 😄
Lets be honest...thats kind of also more for westerners
SAO is still disturbingly popular in the west, unsure about it in Japan
the last grindy mmo that was popular in japan was FF11
Eww sao
my ilvl is 1540 , will argos raid use my gold reward count if i still had it ?
if mainly due to it being a FF title and the first online FF
BDO is popular too
you dont get gold from argos past 1475
No, because Argos doesn't reward gold for you anymore.
I mean there are tons of isekai anime with mmo stuff mixed in or this new one thats also pretty popular crappy game hunter or what it was called
no, it tells u
Argos doesn't count for end game content, also it will stop giving gold at 1475 regardless
alright
anyways lost ark japan release was just not doing any market research at all
Agreed
how long did it last there ?
Now we will have some JP people on steam
If they ever wanna play the predatory KR MMO that is
a little over 3 years in japan
Oh no we have 1yr of life left
that was a quick death lmao
Adding a "Kappa" before someone thinks it's real
because the game released in a market that it never should have released in
pc gaming, especially mmos, never really caught on in japan
even wow never made it big there
FF being the special one
the 2 online FFs, FF11 and FF14, both have console play
because Square Enix knew that Japanese gamers dont have pcs lmao
FFXIV is on consoles, though
And they have UI support for consoles
Like...heavily
Ye ye
in fact, console support held back the game heavily back in the day
Lost ark wtih gamepad kekw
because of PS3 limitations
apex is also popular there..... and that's on consoles too
also internet cafe culture in japan is very different from that in korea
internet cafes are literally a cheap place for you to sleep and read manga rather than game with the homies playing LoL
apex boring
I'm not into battle royals usually, unless I play with friends
I suck at them so I better play for fun with friendos
Does the south vern power pass expire? In my character inventory it showed a expiration of 2/7/2024 but when I clicked on it to add it to my roster page I don't see any expiration anywhere
Darn. I just started playing and don't know what to use it on. Guess I'll just pick a random class

First link, also just pick whatever tickles your fancy
All classes are good
Or tell us what kind of gameplay style you like in other games / mmos
I like the paladin in world of Warcraft when I played like 10 years ago
2 basic choices, support or dps
Paladin in this game is strictly support and will never do damage
If you like supporting it's a good pick
If you like doing damage, do not pick one of the 3 support classes
Anything more specific?
Can I use a power pass on one character so it doesn't expire and then start a new character to experience playing through the whole story with? Just pick up the power pass character a few months later?
Yes but there is a catch
If you use the pass on, let's say, a male warrior, you are locked on picking a male warrior advanced class, be it paladin, Gunlancer, destroyer or berserker
You can't pick X base class and then switch to Y
Like pick a warrior and use it on a mage, for example
I like doing damage from a distance so I can dodge easier. Or being super tanky. I haven't played a game on PC in a decade and will probably be really slow and make tons of mistakes
Gunlancer, Destroyer, Sharpshooter, Artillerist
Tanky af, tanky af, ranged, kind of ranged and tanky, in order
Awesome thanks
when i played ss i played too far away from boss
I hate you and all those who are in Narnia and can't stay close for yearning or aoe buff
Why are you like that
Company policy is to pocket the arcana
Why do you bully us supports
like playing a sniper type
what stone do i need for a 5x3 +1?
rip, 1sec
there it goes

I accidently copied his message when I went to go paste it 

💗
this is what im working with i prob have to get rid of a ring or 2 but im trying to figure out where to go from here
what u mean ;0
what +1 are you going for?
+1 hitmaster
trying to keep at least 1 ring if possible but ill throw it out worse case
they do?
they have two accs with keen 3 and one with keen 6
cant they just 663 keen
yea im missing all of grudge so
they would have to drop one of their accs, which either means the neck or the ring
so i only need to drop 1 ring?
363 is never something you want to slot in
i fkd it again
^
looking at keen
you need to decide which is gonna be your stone
every engraving should have one 3 and 2 6s
grudge/adre, adre/keen, grudge/keen
ok its keen 12 not keen 9
also put the +1 on the end
for ones that arent on stone or books

the hitmaste is his +1
wtf?
he's not putting in what stone he wants which is making it harder for himself then it needs to be
it gives me more flexibility when buying accesories
?
it doesn't
you can already be flexible
you have 3 keen accs
but you are forced to get the perfect stone
what do you mean perfect?
sure its "only" 6/5 but even then if you cut a reverse 5/6 you still have to rebuild
again
cut a rock first
bestie
you can buy 3 grudge 6adre or 3 grudge 6 keen, or 3 grudge 6 raidcaptain
cut until you are ssatisfied
reverse 5/6?
or spend a couple hundred pheons till you cut 6/6 cause rng will be rng
when building, prioritize
stone>class accessory>neck>everything else
you put the stats of it in
then you go to market and check which +3 your class +6 is the cheapets
cut your tone first
you could hit a 9 on grudge
and that lets you have more flexibility
yea but im trying to look out for it first
cut the stone with one engraving from lvl3 engravings and the +1
i see what you mean ;/
ie in your case, grudge + hit, or keen blunt + hit
why is it even hm +1
ill get rolling
eh, you have the book raid captiain
shadowhunter
is gargadeth a beast
and adrenaline stones are expensive*
should be
yea theyre crazy
anyone having revelry row song bug in stronghold?

since 3 weeks
so sad.. literally just got the song today too xD

ape, frog
