[trail hawk]

did you play 2 weeks ago?

[foggy vapor]

nope, i came back 4 days ago

missed the south vern pass lol

[trail hawk]

and the mokoko express...

[foggy vapor]

yeah... gotta wait for march

[graceful stump]

do i really need to do the sidequests ?

[heady oar]

Yes for roster lvl you need to reach 160+ asap

[fervent mauve]

does game lag affect raid captain?

debate with friend

[timber mauve]

No, because game lag doesn’t modify your swiftness and move speed stat.

[timber mauve]

Good idea to do certain ones for one time rewards or first clear shit. But you technically don’t need to do any of them, especially those before Elgacia.

[willow ice]

do i need to buy relic gear before going to ancient or can i go straight to ancient

[timber mauve]

You cannot skip relic

[graceful stump]

I'm a new player, so starting from Prideholm, do i need to do them ?

[coarse vigil]

You need to have Relic gear equipped to be able to transfer it to Ancient gear. However, after transfering, you can dismantle your old Relic item to craft another Relic piece. So you don't have to have all 6 Relic items at the same time

[willow ice]

ah tru ty

[timber mauve]

Nah.
There’s gonna be a power pass released next month that’ll auto complete them for you. And a power pass will give you all the important one time rewards from them such as virtues and other stuff.

[graceful stump]

gucci, this is more than perfect.. thanks for the help

[cyan edge]

Hey, I am a returning player and found some Tier 3 Treasure Maps in my inventory. I remember back when the game was released, these would be quite valuable and people would pay to join you on them. Is this still the case? Should I look for other people to do them or is it fine to do them alone?

[timber mauve]

No, they were removed from the game. I’d just run them alone unless you know people to run them with then trade you the mats back.

[coarse vigil]

You can't get these Treasure Maps anymore unless you buy them with Rift Shards (which are also unobtainable since then). So unless you get lucky and find people in the same predicament as you, your only option is to run them solo

[cyan edge]

Thanks for the info! You still get these tradeable shard bags from it which are still worth something, right? They would be helpful for my progression so I will try to find someone to do them with

[timber mauve]

That they do

The current chaos gate was reworked to be cross server match making and to include ghost ship rewards.

[heady oar]

is akkan card included ?

[timber mauve]

[sudden oxide]

guys toad gold event still worth ... or they nerfed it ?

[buoyant herald]

its completely changed and nerfedd

but the stuff it sells is like half the price of market value so its worth

[timber mauve]

Only difference is that you can’t buy it on multiple characters

[buoyant herald]

and no more engraving boxes tho they wouldnt be worth it anyway 😄

[timber mauve]

But I need card exp

[sudden oxide]

time to yolo i guess tnx

that leg elixir worth getting with the currency or skip

lol game changed so much didnt have time to jump into elixirs yet

[proud birch]

returning player want to change race, when i wait march pass meantime what should i do?

[iron kestrel]

is pleccia being added to a continent list at somepoint

[pallid aspen]

Has anyone else been recently dealing with frequent disconnects from the game?

[median prairie]

which rewars shoulld i aim for una's tasks

[short steeple]

Unless you are 1620+ i wouldn't bother

[short steeple]

Leapstones

[buoyant herald]

do your weekly raids at least rested chaos / guardian stack up the mats and gold so you can get further when pass comes out

[iron kestrel]

what should u use ur life energy ?

[trail hawk]

on things you need for your stronghold

[iron kestrel]

wdym by that
i never really bothered with stronghold that much

[trail hawk]

well, you should, because you craft things cheaper than market price

[buoyant herald]

mainly oreha thingies

so fishing / hunting

[trail hawk]

hunting isntt for orehas*

its for food

[buoyant herald]

you can do orehas with it too

its faster than fishing

[trail hawk]

you trolling right

[buoyant herald]

might be

i only do sh farming

[timber mauve]

I don’t even do that

[trail hawk]

cheapest orehas are excavation OR fishing, depends on day

never hunting

[buoyant herald]

[iron kestrel]

ic, i havent been playing since clown
4 days ago i was killing mobs for cooking stuff and collected herbs along the way using my life energy
with the 10k life energy i managed to get 4 platinum field tickets and 5 world leafs

Was i just super lucky ?

[trail hawk]

bit lucky with plat tickets

if you dont have many leafs yet, not really

[iron kestrel]

got 61 atm

but cheers for the info

[trail hawk]

i spent 7k today, got 1 ticket, 0 leafs

[iron kestrel]

clown times i used to excavate in niheltop

yeah i tested excvating y-day and got only 1
i remember herbing having higher chance getting them tickets ?

[trail hawk]

well, herbing costs what, 35 energy?

on which region you playing btw

[iron kestrel]

never really looked those

EU

west

[trail hawk]

there is no west anymore

[fading hill]

borza is in my stronghold but doesn't sell legendary overwhelm

[trail hawk]

only eu central

[fading hill]

and there's no upgrade option in lab

[fathom mesa]

does it cost resources to raid?

[iron kestrel]

right

[fading hill]

what is happening?

borza isn't selling purple focus or orange overwhelm

[trail hawk]

one rune, not both at a time

oh

boza has 4 runes, green blue purple focus or legend overwhelm

[floral saffron]

yes it is

orehas are hunting/fishing/excavation

you also technically get the most oreha out of a bar of life energy hunting

it just takes the most work so no one does it

[trail hawk]

ofc it is

but its the most expnesive ones

you really want to craft with hunting when you craft almost 98g per oreha when theyre 82g at market

[cursive oxide]

Hi, what would be a good stone to aim to cut for pred slayer build?

I've got grudge legendary books maxed out, just trying to decide what two to pick on stone?

[trail hawk]

what is +1? adrenaline?

[short steeple]

Yes

[trail hawk]

so any engraving + adrenaline

[cursive oxide]

Yeah

So I guess I can go class engraving + Adrenaline for the +1

[trail hawk]

no, there are no class engravings on stones

what are other 3 engravings youre using?

[lavish grove]

[median prairie]

here should be a island but there is not?

[trail hawk]

look at what time

iirc, alakir is at :50, youre late

[median prairie]

entrance is time limited? lol

[trail hawk]

so raid captian, ambush master or mass increase + adrenaline

see which one is cheapest

[cursive oxide]

Grudge, raid captain, ambush master, mass increase

[median prairie]

next time is 40 minutes later, i hope i wont forget it

[trail hawk]

islands that spawn, 10min before there is a whirlwind, ie at :40 for alakir. when it spawn at :50, its there for 3min, so at 53, its gone

[cursive oxide]

Adrenaline would be the +1 and predator the class engraving.

Oh right the cost of books for pred are expensive in NAE but also lacking, so might have to use a combat engraving instead...Unsure will need to check the marketplace again when I'm home.

[median prairie]

i got una instant complete ticlet

how can i use that

[trail hawk]

you have to complete a una once, to be able to use it

so if you havent done alakir before, you cannot use it

[median prairie]

oh tanks

[oblique mortar]

i purchased 3 of them , how do i claim a bonus?

[trail hawk]

..

you have to purchase 3 in same bracket

[oblique mortar]

ohhh lol

oops

[trail hawk]

not 3 from different bracket

[oblique mortar]

i see, ty

[shadow mesa]

does the fairy on lullaby island quest spawn randomly ? pretty sure i search every place marked

[livid fossil]

@trail hawk why does my engraving for R E not say maxed but it has the maxed amount of engraving on it ?

[trail hawk]

you mean you have book 12?

you need another +3 acc

[livid fossil]

so i need to loko for acc with + 3

[trail hawk]

yes

[fathom mesa]

what does roster level do for you

just gives your entire roster passive buffs ?

[trail hawk]

and some other stuff, like: blue crystals, more life energy...

[shy chasm]

usually an indication of how long youve played/how much horizontal/tower youve done

[fathom mesa]

yea i just read on it, seems lame

[trail hawk]

Oo

[shy chasm]

well you have to care about it

cuz thats one of the reason ppl gatekeep

whne you get to that point atleast

[fathom mesa]

why cant you just onetrick 1 char why do you need an entire roster

[shy chasm]

you can

[fathom mesa]

but doesnt your roster level become pretty low

[shy chasm]

well ye

[timber mauve]

It'll just take more time to get up. Though, horiztonal stuff gives a lot of roster exp compared to dailies and weeklies on multiple characters.

[fathom mesa]

honestly reading the comments of lost ark is hilarious

[shadow mesa]

how do i upgrade my card catalog ?

[shy chasm]

buy blue crystals

[trail hawk]

more spots?

[shadow mesa]

yeah

[trail hawk]

as general said, sell some gold for blue crystals

[shadow mesa]

buy blue crystal or buy with blue crystal ?

[shy chasm]

scroll to the bottom click expand

[shadow mesa]

got it, thanks

[eager gate]

someone said i'm already limit gate 4, but this week i just run Gate 1-2(hard) and gate 3(Normal).. why i cant run gate 4?

[shy chasm]

you did g4 last week?

[eager gate]

yeah, i clear it last week

[shy chasm]

its a 2 week lock out

[eager gate]

eh

every 2 weeks? how i check it?

[shy chasm]

if you remove that reward screen its written in the center

[eager gate]

i see, only brelsazha?

[shy chasm]

and extreme valtan

[eager gate]

i see, that new for me.. thank for you explain

[shadow mesa]

where does the pheons goes if you win the bid ?

[shy chasm]

game takes the pheons

[cyan edge]

Hey, another question from a returning player here. Back when i started on release, apparently I bought these blue crystals for gold. 3000 of them. Before I regret wasting them later on: What should I spend these on? My char is on iLvl 1430. Would they be wasted if I spend them on my current progression? Is there something else I should spend them on besides the Secret Shop?

[trail hawk]

check the bonus room in cash shop

[maiden locust]

anyone wanna learning Clown together?

[timber mauve]

the items marked with the red line in the box are a good value. The only thing I'm not 100% sure on is the life energy potions, but i'm pretty sure that's worth.

[maiden locust]

already have the server

[trail hawk]

its 10*3000 life energy for 200 bc

[maiden locust]

i'm just asking every server

[trail hawk]

but every server isnt lfg one

[maiden locust]

yeah

so hard to find group

[timber mauve]

Yeah, idk how much life energy is worth since I haven't done a life skill in over a year.

But I hear people talk about it all the time, so prolly worth.

[short steeple]

Huge profit

[trail hawk]

if you check green potions price, which are 1k energy, they go for x5 for 100 bc

[shadow mesa]

what is the cloth on the bottom left for ?

[trail hawk]

to craft skins

[cyan edge]

Thanks guys! So I guess I just buy all these stuff and use it when I get to the point where I need it?

[timber mauve]

Skin crafting (transmog) or rolling legendary skins (gacha)

[trail hawk]

with help of the item on right side, yozs jar

[shadow mesa]

that shop is a monthly thing ?

[trail hawk]

no

sometimes it comes, but the deals are nowhere good as this time. because its 2nd anniversary

[primal delta]

Hello, i have a problem with my LOA not launching.

This problem first appeared around half a year ago. I launch the game through steam, the EAC logo does it's thing, dissappears, and then nothing. The longest i've left the game alone is around 2 hours without anything happening.

I've done all the things on the LOA support site, updated my driver, checked for corrupted files, verified game file integrity, ran the game as administrator and reinstalled the game around 6 times now.

The game also ran perfectly fine before, i used to play around the date of launch 2 years ago when it came to the western servers. Has anyone else expirienced this problem before, and if yes, how did you fix it?

[umbral pawn]

life energy pot is worth a lot if you're used to do life skill, spent 7.5k gold to get the BC for it and got 30k gold in return

• 5 world tree leaf

got lucky with the leaves tho

[shadow mesa]

that much ?

[trail hawk]

eac doesnt show any errors?

[primal delta]

Nope

[umbral pawn]

you get x20 3k energy pot so 60k life energy

[trail hawk]

did you check in task manager if the game is loading?

[shadow mesa]

what life skill are you doing tho ? and is it at max level

[primal delta]

The game is displayed there but it isn't taking up anything, no disc space, no gpu, no ram no nothing

[lavish dune]

can you evade vertigo debuff if you dodge in gate 2 inferno valtan?

[trail hawk]

the ram usage should slowly go up as its loading, until reaching ~6gb ram

[primal delta]

this is it, I've posted about this on redit aswell around 2 hours ago. SInce then i haven't closed the game on steam

[umbral pawn]

I don't have any life skill max level, the best I have are mining ~50 and fishing ~50 too. I did hunting since I wanted world tree leaves.
If I was doint fishing or excavating, I would get better income, also the 30K gain include 1 platinum ticket I got since 60K life energy has a very high chance to give you at least one ticket.

With fishing ( EUC ), I could have gotten ~42K gold, if you reduce the 7.5K gold to buy the 200BC, that would be 34.5K gold benefit.

For some player, 35k gold is either nothing or not worth the effort spent on 60k life energy but to me it's a lot

[trail hawk]

so its not loading at all

[primal delta]

yes

[lavish dune]

GUYS TELL ME CAN U DODGE VERTIGO

[minor briar]

yes

[minor briar]

yes

[trail hawk]

can you go to this folder and check if you have more files than this

[lavish dune]

Damn we had a bard and everyone flamed her for no cleanse

i didn't bother

but like i knew

[shadow mesa]

35k isn't much ?

[trail hawk]

bard cleanse? xdddddd

[minor briar]

she cant cleanse vertigo

or GT it

[umbral pawn]

Some player here do more than 150k gold a week, with bus and other income, they go over 200k.

[primal delta]

Yea i have one more file than you, I have one more at the bottom with the same name but the number 64 behind Loader

[shadow mesa]

i have hard time wrapping my head around this, how ?

[trail hawk]

delete the last file updateloader64

[primal delta]

Done

[trail hawk]

now try starting the game

[shadow mesa]

i thought the main way to get gold in this game is doing life skill and legion raid

[minor briar]

6x chars + 7.5k+10k+10/14k raids

[primal delta]

Ok, the game should take around 3-15 minutes turning on right?

[minor briar]

then selling mats/drops

[trail hawk]

depends on what system, my is in server select in 2min5sec

just check task manager now, if its actually loading

[umbral pawn]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z63hd2RolhcT6UMoSbuWejYi6dxBJ2wiWnz-AUNNEpQ/edit#gid=972540646
Brel HM g1-G3 give 7500
Akkan normal give 7500
Ivory tower of chaos normal give 9000

that's already 24000 with a single character, if you do that on 6 characters, that's 144k gold

raw gold, not taking account selling mats, bids, etc

[trail hawk]

that means having 6*1600 tho

[primal delta]

OMG it's loading on my disc

[steady sail]

does anyone know what chat are the class guides in on the discord

[umbral pawn]

Well I said "some" players, if you do kayangel hm rather than ivory tower nm

you can get x6 1580

[primal delta]

TYSM!!!

[timber mauve]

normally pinned in each channel, but you can just go to lostark.nexus

[trail hawk]

np, glad it worked 🙂

[shadow mesa]

how long do people usually get to that point ? a year ?

[trail hawk]

depends how much they play / pay

[steady sail]

thx

[shadow mesa]

lets say its your casual dolphin that play 5-6 hours a day

[umbral pawn]

as a f2p, it can take quite a lot of time, I play only one character ( I don't advice playing only one character )
but playing 2~3 character that you enjoy is already a good start
If you rush and FOMO, you're gonna hate the game

the best way to make alt is to use express and other event that happen multiple time a year

[karmic ferry]

Im gonna be quitting for awhile and i was gonna sell my gems and invest it into something, suggestions anyone?

[shadow mesa]

been enjoying it so far, not sure what other class i want to try as now i'm playing gunlancer

[umbral pawn]

we had express + path of soul eather in december/january, that was a free 1580 char

we'll prolly get something similar in march with breaker release

[trail hawk]

invest???

[karmic ferry]

Gamble*

[trail hawk]

theres no gamba

[shadow mesa]

i played earlier this month before that event concluded, got my character to 1500

[maiden locust]

i prob make 400k a week but i bus every raid + extras so

[umbral pawn]

if you're full ancient or near full ancient, I would tell you to just do what you want for now and wait for march to fully optimise your progression

but it's a game

you can have fun your own way too

just don't FOMO

FOMO bad

[shadow mesa]

for now i'm finishing the guide quest

that need to do 3 other quests

[umbral pawn]

[fathom mesa]

can people buy their way to 1600 ilvl or whatever

or do you need to buy bus to do that

[trail hawk]

didnt you start with aero, and now sorc, just so, btw....

[fathom mesa]

im just asking

[quasi tree]

You have to raid to progress

[trail hawk]

me too

[quasi tree]

You can buy busses for that

No point in over honing

[fathom mesa]

how do the express passes increase your ilvl

like how do they work i g

[trail hawk]

express doesnt increase your lvl, it gives you mats, and other stuff

powerpass increases your ilvl, because it skips story and gives you set items

[fathom mesa]

i see

and you use the mats from express to craft high ilvl gear i assume

[timber mauve]

I have a copy pasta... gimme a sec

[umbral pawn]

you craft high level gear with materials gained from raids ( valtan/vykas for relic gears ( 1415~1490 ) Brelshaza for ancient gear ( 1490~1580 ) and akkan gear for upper ancient gear ( 1580~1650 ) )

[timber mauve]

With free event power passes and new classes, a Hyper Express Event (also named super mokoko express) normally exists as well. You should’ve gotten a large popup window mentioning it, prompting you to select a character to use it on. These express events are made to help you get from x item level to y item level. They won’t give you enough honing materials to reach it alone, but it’ll greatly speed up your journey.

[fathom mesa]

i see

[trail hawk]

btw, you didnt answer if you switched from aero to sorc...

because aero is less played, but way more useful for a party than a sorc

[umbral pawn]

gear have their progression through honing, dailies, events, mokoko express, etc, will give you what you need to hone your gear to get higher item level and get access to higher content

[fathom mesa]

i didnt

[umbral pawn]

once a certain item level, you have to change to another gear like I said above with relic/ancient/upper ancient

[unkempt kraken]

has gunslinger changed in the past 3 months?

[shy chasm]

you def wont find it here

[shy chasm]

they got a buff like January

[unkempt kraken]

just a blanket buff to all skills or any inparticular becuase im very new and im looking for something to work towards etc

[shy chasm]

it should be in gs chat pins

[unkempt kraken]

ah ty

[shadow mesa]

do you get world tree leaf from just doing life skill randomly ?

[lapis maple]

i have only 3 channels?

[trail hawk]

yeah, anytime

[timber mauve]

@fervent mauve @lapis maple Don’t ask or advertise that here as per the rules of this discord and discord tos. Furthermore, deleting messages doesn’t mean we can’t see them.

[fervent mauve]

I didn't delete anything

u trippin on a stack no cap

[cyan snow]

[rose wren]

whatever its shown for u

[hardy sphinx]

o

[dark vigil]

kinda hard, especially if you do not know from where to start

it takes a while to get to the wealth rune if that's what you're aiming for

[unkempt kraken]

WHAT IS THIS SALT GIANT XD

it has 23 health bars

[noble rapids]

@dark vigil yeah I had like 10 maps in my storage so i figured it start doing them to get 2nd wealth rune but fuck me dude it is insane

[bold geyser]

welcome to world bosses 🙂

[timber mauve]

A world boss or whatever. Need to kill it for collectible stuff. Just ignore it until you can sneeze on it and kill it.

[unkempt kraken]

it says level 19i but i feel as though i

okay yeah good lmoa

actually would take an hour and all my health pots

[trail hawk]

he doesnt have that many mech

[bold geyser]

back in the day people would group up to kill it but you'd be hard pressed to find people these days

so just go back later and whump him 🙂

[trail hawk]

but at that lvl you do so little dmg, so yeah, itll take you a long time

[unkempt kraken]

yeah

it has like crazy DR too

a skill on my sniper does like 3k dmg but he takes 400

[bold geyser]

only for the first 15s of the fight or so

[unkempt kraken]

ah

[bold geyser]

(unless you're way underleveled)

[unkempt kraken]

might try a bit later

i have completed all sidequests so far

im higher than it and im still struggling xd

is it any worth killing it now or?

[bold geyser]

just a warning, completing all side quests means you're gonna hit 50 before you're able to actually graduate

no no, just go back later

[unkempt kraken]

is that very bad or?

aight

[timber mauve]

No

[bold geyser]

arguably a waste of time, but if you're enjoying yourself don't sweat it too much

[timber mauve]

It’s a waste of time

[dark vigil]

if you want to get the wealth rune, do the easy rapport, stronghold merchants, adventure tome and i think some islands

[unkempt kraken]

alright tyty

[cyan edge]

I don't know too much about the economy. Should I buy these?

[rose wren]

first is the main, so u can buy stuff from 2nd tab, leapstone could be the most worth, see market prices

[waxen island]

Sorry if I hijack Ben1 questions,but if someone is looking to main swap with new new event next month can I stock pile frog chest and birthday bash materials and open them up when the next patch drop?

[rose wren]

ull never interrupted anything here

[rose wren]

sure

[waxen island]

Noice

Thanks

[cyan edge]

So, during progression, I will get to a point where I buy honing mats from the market anyway? So if market price is higher than the 300g for the chests, I should buy? I understand correctly?

[marble shell]

Yes, for shards for example check how much the 20boxes give you and check their market price and see if it's cheaper

[bold geyser]

really depends on how quickly you progress, how lucky you are with honing, and how much legwork you do with chaos + guardians and such

[noble rapids]

is there a way to grind XP ?

[bold geyser]

for example, i'm wayyyyy behind on doing akkan w/ my char, but i keep doing daily crap, so i have 1.5 million shards and no need at all for buying more

[rose wren]

u dont have to buy from market, its optional

[rose wren]

not really, just do all the content and slowly reach it, if its for ya alt, use stronghold training camp

[noble rapids]

nah i need 10m xp on my main to finally hit 60

[bold geyser]

does tower give xp?i know it gives lots of roster

can try that (no promises)

[cyan edge]

Ah, I understand. Thank you guys for the explanations

[marble shell]

There is no way to actively grind XP, you just do like Tist said

[noble rapids]

ill try it @bold geyser

[noble rapids]

[lilac raft]

When is smilegate going to fix the wallpaper audio bug for using KR voiceover pack

comm mod?

[rose wren]

community manager

[timber mauve]

Community Manager

[shadow mesa]

should i keep stone like this ? or should i get one with odd number and less than 5 negative

[bold geyser]

doesn't have to be odd, you just want some number that can be cleanly matched with accessories (3s, and 3-6), 8 doesn't really match cleanly with anything

[turbid reef]

guys do you know how to get monarch of the north title

[bold geyser]

and you definitely want to avoid getting 5 malus

[bold geyser]

codex is your friend 😄

[hollow belfry]

is there a channel for accessories?

[turbid reef]

thank you so much

[hollow belfry]

to look for accessories

[paper walrus]

no

[rose wren]

#trading ?

[shadow mesa]

you need total for 15 right, what do you mean by cleanly

[bold geyser]

without wasting pips, if possible

[paper walrus]

8 means you'd get some pips left over when you hit 15

[shadow mesa]

so how do you pair stones and accesorry in term of engraving ?

[bold geyser]

there's a good chart in the pins

and you use an engraving calculator to try to line everything up

[rose wren]

link at#guides-and-info or so somewhere for calc/plan things

[shadow mesa]

this right ? what does the book represent ?

[bold geyser]

oo i didn't know about that

[stray goblet]

kein gold

[bold geyser]

equipped engravings, from books

[stray goblet]

epic gives +9 leg gives +12

[shadow mesa]

the two bellow your weapon ?

[bold geyser]

yeah

[stray goblet]

yes sir

[rose wren]

training area or so on game, give u tutorial through those slots there

[shadow mesa]

i still have engraving support for two more months , just that i got a nice stone

[cyan edge]

?

[stray goblet]

i ment you are poor

dont buy anything

get gold

[shadow mesa]

so if its like this i would get +9 node if i were to equip it bellow my weapon ?

[stray goblet]

yes sir

[bold geyser]

and you're at 0/20, so you would need 20 legendary supercharge books to upgrade

[cyan edge]

Yeah, but I was wondering if it might be worth to buy these now while the event is going on to save gold later

[stray goblet]

it is worht it if you can stay consistantly over 30k or sth

it gives 2 selectors for 30k gold so its giga worth it

but if you have no gold

big no no dont buy

[cyan edge]

This Leap Legendary Card selection pack?

[bold geyser]

how do you get the selectors? isn't it random chance when you get coins?

ohhh you always get them with the lucky chest

[cyan edge]

I got one of them from the 3 chests that I bought. So guess I got lucky? :D
But thanks for your advice. I will save my gold then unless I reach a point where I can afford it during the next month :)

[stray goblet]

yeah or you just buy the 1k packs

[trail hawk]

ingame market?

[stray goblet]

15 of them for 1 selectorinoae

[meager trellis]

is there anything that increases life energy cap or regen

[trail hawk]

roster lvls

[bold geyser]

crystalline aura

[trail hawk]

and as soc said

[meager trellis]

I see

and where can I get those regen bottles

[trail hawk]

shop

[stray goblet]

f4 shopp

[trail hawk]

atm you have an amazing deal for 20*3k potions for 200 blue crystals

[hollow belfry]

the market sold my earrings once in the last two weeks , there's none

[meager trellis]

ok thanks

[bold geyser]

what are you after?

[paper walrus]

crushing fist 6 drops of shit 3

swift

[bold geyser]

good luck 👍

[worldly slate]

Can I claim 2nd anniversary event with different alts? For example my alt wants brel rewards but my main want akkan and up rewards?

[dark vigil]

from birthday bash right?

yes

but you won't be able to give them to another char, since they are char bound

[worldly slate]

Ok thanks!

[hardy sphinx]

does dmg gem or level of skill affect the stagger rate of the skills?

[nocturne moss]

does the lvl 40 Critical elixir is additive with the lvl 35? +18 dmg on crit total?

[paper walrus]

no

[paper walrus]

no

[frosty axle]

What's a good location for hunting?

[rose wren]

er i think most spots r bother by monster, theres small areas in punika that arent

[frosty axle]

I got HA 3 and a super armor tool

[split forge]

Can you not complete elgacia adventure tome to 100%?

[frosty axle]

Why wouldn't you be able to

[split forge]

Everything is ticked it only goes to 93%

[shy chasm]

done kayangel?

[split forge]

Yup

Both

[shy chasm]

ss?

[split forge]

Nm Hm

[exotic anvil]

u missing some hidden quest maybe or collectible...u def can 100% every adv tome, like me and many others did

also kayangel is not the elgacia dungeon that u see in the adv tome...kayangel is the weekly raid, the adv tome one is the one u enter through the gate in elgacia

[warm tendon]

take a screenshot of it

you're missing something for sure

[exotic anvil]

yeh just post a screenshot...ez fix

[rich agate]

anyone know if hit master works on skills that are classified as back attack if you don't land them as a back attack? or it only works on skills with no classification

(not planning to build hit master on a back attacker, moreso wondering how much value hit master pieces have in artist/bard chaos build)

[exotic anvil]

no it wont work

[rich agate]

okay, thank you

[rose wren]

i think its unlikely to be coded/design that way

[rich agate]

my bard got a 3 preemptive/6 hit master necklace drop so i was wondering if it would be worth activating hit master books but i guess not

[exotic anvil]

it can be useful for a chaos dungeon build, but mostly for the preemptive ofc

[shut pasture]

Well with it just being for Chaos Dungeons Hit Master, or even positionals, aren't all that pertinent

[rich agate]

i just already have +9 hit master books anyways so it wouldn't be an investment at all

[rich agate]

yeah probably gonna fish for a different preempt 3 piece and then mail this necklace to my aero

[shut pasture]

That would depend on the cost of Hit Master Leg books on your region

[rich agate]

wouldn't need them, 6+9=15

[shut pasture]

Ah I thought you meant to max the books, gotcha

[rich agate]

nah would just be flipping a switch for 0g but if it doesn't work no point

[shut pasture]

In either case, the short of it is it doesn't really do anything for you in Chaos Dungeons anyway

[rose wren]

there arent many chances to maintain backattack in chaos dung anyway

[shut pasture]

And if you're running Preemptive the mobs are already insta dying regardless of position

[exotic anvil]

thats a BiS accessory for your chaos dungeon then ahah bards have some back atk skill but u can adjust choosing the hit master ones at this point (like u said no effort/no cost is good since nobody would reccomend to buy accessories for chaos dungeons builds)

[rose wren]

only minmax would spend on chaos dung set

[exotic anvil]

or do this...even if aero is very fast in chaos dungeons by default

[rich agate]

true for bard, artist tends to need a slightly more invested chaos build to one shot the room 2 boss ime

[midnight nimbus]

Most of my classes use their normal dps build, but change out the grudge book for preemptive book. Maybe change out an accessory for preemptive3

Supports are a little different tho

[exotic anvil]

also never forget that betrayal gear set is your friend for passive dmg

[rose wren]

or the other set that boost dmg after awakening

[shut pasture]

Dominion

[rich agate]

yeah i bought +12 books for recurrence, true courage, and judgment, wasn't expensive at all and the time savings are worth it

[fallow sorrel]

heyy I just started the game 2 days ago, and I wanted to ask if it’s still possible to change the hair color of my bard?

[rich agate]

you'd need a reskin ticket for 800 royal crystals

[shut pasture]

Probably not unless you buy a Reskin ticket

[fallow sorrel]

where can I find that?

[rich agate]

they occasionally have free reskin tickets in events but they're rare

it's in the shop

[fallow sorrel]

okay

[shut pasture]

In the ingame shop

[shut pasture]

Occasionally is a strong word, its happened like once if I am remembering correctly

[rich agate]

for future reference you can also reskin a character that was made within the last 24 hours for free

[fallow sorrel]

what’s the category?

[rich agate]

as many times as you want until the 24 hours are up

probably features, i'm not logged in rn to check

[fallow sorrel]

yes you’re right

I found it

[shut pasture]

Should just be able to type reskin into the search in the shop, if not then like orange said potentially in features

[fallow sorrel]

thank you

[rich agate]

i'm aware of 3 in total but yes definitely not something to count on

i made an account on day 1, promptly quit the game, and came back pretty recently, had 2 reskin tickets in my product inventory but when i wanted to actually use them i found out they had expired like 6 months ago lmao

[fallow sorrel]

why are they expensive

10€

[rich agate]

people are willing to pay it

[exotic anvil]

basically 10euros ticket...if u only started 2 days ago i would say to make another bard...but u value your time/money

[rich agate]

may have already powerpassed it

[fallow sorrel]

yea I came too far, I mean I’m only lvl 19 but that’s far for me already I don’t wanna do it all again xd

[exotic anvil]

true wasnt thinking about that

[unkempt kraken]

Wait I'm looking at the new player guides and what ti's a jump start severr?

[rose wren]

there should be 3reskin tickets in product inventory, if u never taken 'em

[unkempt kraken]

Server

[rose wren]

jumpstart r norm, events r over

[unkempt kraken]

Oh so doesn't exist anymore alright xd

[fallow sorrel]

idk what

[rich agate]

it's an event where you get a server that's disconnected from the rest of the region with bonuses for new players to get into the game faster, but it's not currently running

[fallow sorrel]

so I have one already?

[shut pasture]

That was from a single event a gooood while back

[unkempt kraken]

Is that's what is gonan run in march?

[rich agate]

i don't think so, there was one very recently

[exotic anvil]

check top left icons...i guess the product inventory was like a box icon or anyway close to log-in rewards one

[rose wren]

if u dont see anymore then thats it, just have to cough up $$ ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rich agate]

they just reconnected the jumpstart servers to the main servers like 1-2 months ago, i don't remember exactly

[fallow sorrel]

I claimed stuff there like an hour ago

[rich agate]

people still gatekeeping jumpstart server players

[unkempt kraken]

Becuase earlier when I asked about starting now bieng a good idea I was told to wait till March dunno what exactly but apparently good events

[rich agate]

there is an event in march that'll help a lot but it's not jumpstart

[rose wren]

because powerpass and other events to help boost class release

[maiden locust]

Hello anyone knows how i get gold by excavating ?

[exotic anvil]

mmm i dont remember how to activate the reskin ticket if u have one...maybe from character selection screen? maybe someone here can tell u from where

[fallow sorrel]

are events doable as low lvl?

[rich agate]

it's mokoko express, gives you a free powerpass to ilvl 1460(?) and skips most of the main story for you

[shut pasture]

No, in March what we will be getting are the standard progression events we usually get with a new class release; Super Mokokok Express and most likely the Path of the Breaker, similar to the Path of the Souleater we got in Novemeber with that class release.

[rich agate]

you'll be able to use the powerpass to skip to lvl 50+ on your existing character yes

[unkempt kraken]

Oh I see, so is starting now a bad idea then?

[rich agate]

not necessarily

[fallow sorrel]

[rose wren]

no, u get to learn and wont be overwhelm with info

[fallow sorrel]

and that’s forever?

[rich agate]

you could work on your current character now and have it as an alt character when the event starts

[unkempt kraken]

Ohhh i see

[rich agate]

the game heavily incentivizes playing multiple characters

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah I've heard

[rich agate]

yes

[unkempt kraken]

So I get 1 power pass to just use on a character

But only 1

[rose wren]

that isnt march event, thats now

[shut pasture]

The progression events we are talking about have ilvl requirements to be able to start them, but if you're talking about combat level you will be level 50 sooner rather than later if you're not already. The ilvls that the events require aren't all that high either, and they are usually the ilvl that the free Power Pass simply gives you.

[fallow sorrel]

how can I use that?

[rich agate]

yeah plus events to help it progress past 1460 faster than normal

[rich agate]

have to wait for the next event in march to get one for free

[fallow sorrel]

ohhh

[rich agate]

you can also buy a regular powerpass at any time but they are quite expensive and you won't get the progression event

[unkempt kraken]

Would I be able to get to 1460 within 1 week?

Or is that a big thinf

[fallow sorrel]

but there isn’t one for the event now right?

[rose wren]

that be some rng luck to reach

[fallow sorrel]

I’m so confused that I’m just gonna come back for the next event and ask again

[rich agate]

pretty unlikely? it's possible depending on how much you play and how lucky you get

[shut pasture]

From 1415? Uhhh...maybe? But probably not.

[rich agate]

or if you have friends that can fund you mats maybe lol

[shut pasture]

No, there isn't.

[fallow sorrel]

[unkempt kraken]

Dunno I'm starting from 130 xd

[shut pasture]

This currently running event is for Lost Arks release anniversary

[rich agate]

you'd have to grind through the story first and i think that would get you to level 50+

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah

[fallow sorrel]

how long does the story take?

[shut pasture]

Since Lost Ark release in February 2022, so we're two years into the games release.

[rich agate]

if you have a friend that can give you some gold you can speedrun tier 2 honing

[rose wren]

ofcourse but combat lvl isnt the main focus of game

[unkempt kraken]

Nope pretty much solo xd

[shut pasture]

20 hours maybe for a newcomer

[fallow sorrel]

20 hours only? I’m lvl 19 and playing for like 10h already

[rich agate]

well you'd have to get combat lvls and clear the story continents to unlock relevant chaos dungeons

[rich agate]

can probably do it all in 20 hours if you skip everything, but if you're reading/watching cutscenes it's gonna be a lot longer

[shut pasture]

Have you been skipping at all? Have you been doing Side Quests as well?

[fallow sorrel]

yes side quests as well

[unkempt kraken]

Alright well guess I'm gonna just power level my gunslinger from 20 to as high as I can get it do you think that I'd make more progress than the power pass by march?

[fallow sorrel]

wait I have a question

[unkempt kraken]

Becuass if not I'll play artist and then use power pass on gunsling

[fallow sorrel]

is it worth to use this thing as beginner? on a low lvl character?

or is it something I need to save for late game?

[rich agate]

you might be able to pass 1460, but the event is designed to powerpass you to 1460 and then boost you to 1540+ faster than normal

[shut pasture]

You don't need to do Side Quests at all, simply stick with the Main Story Quests that eventually transition into World Quests and that will bring you to level 50. Side Quests are not necessary.

[rich agate]

of course if you are having fun with the side quests feel free to keep doing them

[fallow sorrel]

okay, I did every single side quests I saw

[rose wren]

some side quests can be completed with main quests, i never remember which 1🫠 as in its in the same location or so, so u arent far away

[unkempt kraken]

Ah I get u, so If I want to main gunslinger for example then, I should play a different class for now and get used to the game then use the power pass on my gunslinger and continue to use then as my main becuase it's that much progress?

[shut pasture]

That is the optional premium subscription the game has, it can be quite useful and you don't necessarily need to spend money on it at all. You can add time for it later by converting your gold into Blue Crystals.

[fallow sorrel]

it’s even saying 7000 xp per minute

[rich agate]

yeah i would definitely plan to use event on what you want to main

[shy chasm]

thats for the stronghold xp training

[unkempt kraken]

Aight ty so much ^^

[fallow sorrel]

oh

[autumn warren]

how do I find the shipwrecks now for sea bounties ?

[fallow sorrel]

so I should save it up?

[rich agate]

but also, games are meant to be played for fun, so if you want to play your main now don't let minmaxing stop you from playing your main

[shy chasm]

ye no reason to use it rn

[fallow sorrel]

okay thanks!

[rose wren]

like sailing co-op event sea bounties?

[rich agate]

you'll still be able to use the event on your main as long as you don't pass 1540 by march i believe (need confirmation)

if you naturally got your main to 1415 or whatever the minimum is for the event you could just powerpass an alt while still using the event on main

[rose wren]

there's no exact info which ilvl it be, u can hint at it to not go pass

[rich agate]

the max ilvl will probably still be 1540 for mokoko express i'd imagine

dunno if minimum will still be 1415 or raised to 1460 now since they're raising the powerpass

[shy chasm]

it will surely be 1580

[rich agate]

can't really predict these things unfortunately

lol i hope it's 1580

[unkempt kraken]

Oh so I could continue playing gunslinger then use the power pass on a side character, but use the event to get my gunslinger from whatever I reach to 1540?

[rose wren]

its simple to not confuse people by not mentioning # until the info out

[rich agate]

yeah, as long as you can reach the minimum ilvl for the event naturally on your gunslinger

[midnight nimbus]

I got conflicting answers last time I asked. Were we able to use Path of Souleater on a 1540?

[rich agate]

yes

you can use path on a 1609

[unkempt kraken]

Aight tyty

[rose wren]

yea

[shut pasture]

Not sure why that would get conflicting answers but yes, you could

[loud dagger]

Anyone can tell me if nm ex valtan has same rewards as hm?

[rich agate]

no

[loud dagger]

Whats the dff

[midnight nimbus]

So it's fairly safe to say we'll be able to use Path of Breaker on a 1540 at the very least

[bold geyser]

nothing is safe 😩

[shy chasm]

ye surely the path with be 1610

or atleast 1600

[unkempt kraken]

Qhats the stuff on the right?

[bold geyser]

keep it up and it's gonna be 1325

[rich agate]

engravings, don't worry about them yet if you are pre lvl 50

they will be very important later but pace yourself

[rose wren]

main class engraving

[unkempt kraken]

Oh is it like what your build is focused around?

[rose wren]

yes

[bold geyser]

pretty much

[unkempt kraken]

So like for example one of them for gunslinger is called like time to hunt

I think

[bold geyser]

yeah

some builds are weird and use both

[lavish grove]

The Ultimate Gunslinger Infoset

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

​

Gunslinger Community Guide

This information was created by community members · Feb 12, 2024, 10:27 PM

[unkempt kraken]

I see I see thank you

[rich agate]

yeah it's customizable enhancements to your character

[bold geyser]

but not anything to worry about atm

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah I'm staying away from time to hunt 💀 I love me my shotguns

[rich agate]

most engravings are common between classes but each class has 2 exclusive class engravings as well

[unkempt kraken]

I think I have 5 chests for the crafting of them

Legendary engraving chest

Or soemthing

[bold geyser]

hang onto those

[unkempt kraken]

And it gives me the "blueprint" to make them

[bold geyser]

really anything that has you choose anything should be saved until much later

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah I think I need level 50 to pop em anyway

Is level 50 max?

[bold geyser]

60

but 50+ is required for endgame anything

[unkempt kraken]

I heard you can promote too

Or soemthjng

[rich agate]

no, it's just 1-60

maybe you heard of roster level?

[bold geyser]

advanced classes are not really a thing anymore they make you pick one when you make the char

[trail hawk]

there is no 1

[unkempt kraken]

Ah might have been

[trail hawk]

you start at 10

[rich agate]

you're technically level 1 in trixion for like 1 minute

LOL

[unkempt kraken]

💀

[bold geyser]

enjoy your youth while it lasts

[rich agate]

you don't hit lvl 10 until you start the class tester with beatrice

maybe it's more accurate to say 1,10-60

[trail hawk]

yeah, but you dont gain any skills during 1-10, so

it starts at 10

[rich agate]

roster level is a separate system with separate experience that applies to all characters in your account

[rose wren]

nowadays u reach lv50 before finish vern story, theres still some pieces to learn after lv50 in general on how the game functions

[fallen linden]

how do i get oreha fusion stones

[rich agate]

grants some small stat bonuses/milestone rewards but mostly is used by others to see how experienced you are with the game

[rose wren]

lifeskill→craft or market

[bold geyser]

random holiday events, crafting, auction house

[fallen linden]

is it hard to craft?

I am kinda new so i dont really have gold

[bold geyser]

easy to craft, somewhat expensive

[rich agate]

it costs a decent amount of gold to craft

[fallen linden]

So im fucked

Lmao

[bold geyser]

depending on your server it's better to just buy from the market

it fluctuates

[fallen linden]

Hmm let me see prices

16 a piece

[bold geyser]

there should be a market spreadsheet in the pins

[fallen linden]

is that alot

[rich agate]

doing life skills yourself and then just paying the crafting cost is the cheapest way to get them if you have really low gold

[bold geyser]

🤷

[rich agate]

if you have to also buy the materials before crafting it tends to be more expensive than just buying from market

crafting cost of prime orehas is less than half of market price, not sure what it is for regular orehas

[exotic anvil]

always better to craft cause u have random bonuses chances to get more materials...but usually the cost is close either u buy or craft (crafting requires gatherables mats that u can farm, even if in a limited quantity)

[bold geyser]

yeah but they cost a fortune in mats 🙂

[rose wren]

just have to see what ya market at

[bold geyser]

yeah the market is mature enough that there's no way to ballpark it

just have to see for yourself

[rich agate]

newer player shouldn't need so many orehas that it hurts too much to do the life skills for them

[rose wren]

also if u dont wanna like give gold to players, just craft

[exotic anvil]

i've seen new players on 1620 so idk about that

[rich agate]

i think we're using different definitions of new here

[unkempt kraken]

So after reading through class selection guide and looking at gunslinger I assume it's recommended heavily that I build for time to hunt eventually becuase it is very low investment compared to peacemaker then switch to peacemaker later down the line

[rich agate]

presumably if they've gotten to 1620 they don't need to ask how to get orehas

[bold geyser]

switching is more expensive than just picking one

[exotic anvil]

not wrong

[heady hollow]

not really at your level, just play which ever you like

[bold geyser]

you can switch down the line if you need to rebuild your set

[heady hollow]

the investment is negligible

[unkempt kraken]

Ikik I just like overthinkjng and giga researching a game when I enjoy it like this

Plus it's not my first mmo so some of the game mechanics are pretty similar

[rose wren]

even tho its recommended, its whichever u still enjoy more, theres no point in playing if u dont

[heady hollow]

youd ultimately be "wasting" resources going from one build to the other kinda

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah I would hate to remove shotguns from slinger my only reason was the peacemaker one said its recommended to have like knowledge of dungeons

[rich agate]

"investment" probably refers to relic accessories at 1415 and above, before that you can do whatever cause nothing you have will be kept in lategame

[unkempt kraken]

I feel as though I don't have resources to be wasting so it's probably a good idea to be on peacemaker xd

[unkempt kraken]

Ah I see

[heady hollow]

as a resident gs main, i could never imagine playing tth, the whole draw for me was switching guns

[exotic anvil]

knowledge is the biggest buff u can have for every class in general...if u die u die...that will come with time

[heady hollow]

and taking one out just kills alot of the fun

[unkempt kraken]

But overall just better to stick to one?

[heady hollow]

[unkempt kraken]

Same

[heady hollow]

when ur starting out ye

[unkempt kraken]

Very good point

[rich agate]

only relic and ancient accessories will be kept, so no worries about what you do before then

[unkempt kraken]

Are the augments hard to get considering u was told to hang on to the chests for them

?

[heady hollow]

what are augments

[unkempt kraken]

I mean

Uh

[rich agate]

engravings

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah

[rich agate]

it kinda depends

[unkempt kraken]

💀

[heady hollow]

for seasoned players, no not at all

for newer players, kinda

[fallen linden]

the game is sooo confusinngggg

im so lost

😭

[rich agate]

we have these terms like 5x3, 5x3+1, 4x3+2+2

[heady hollow]

if they exhaust their chest supply on stupid choices

[rose wren]

every game is confusing at first

[rich agate]

so like this, how many lvl 3 engravings and how many lvl 2/1 engravings you have in your build

[unkempt kraken]

Are all those blue gems copies ?

[rich agate]

different qualities of accessories have different caps on how many engraving nodes they can hold

[heady hollow]

[exotic anvil]

we all were confused when we started day1 and we had less than half of the things that we have now...take your time id say, cause it will take some time anyway

[unkempt kraken]

Like you get 2 and mash it together to make 1 better one

[rich agate]

so the difficulty of getting those engravings depends on your target build (5x3, 5x3+1, 5x3+2, etc.) and what accessories are available to you

[rich agate]

it's a sum of what you have on your accessories

[trail hawk]

hes like lvl20 and youre talking about very advanced stuff 😉

[rich agate]

so for example, once you hit 1415 you get access to relic accessories that can have up to 5 nodes on one engraving

[unkempt kraken]

Yeha I wanna know though I'll catch on xd

[rich agate]

and 3 on another engraving

so you choose your accessories in a way that they sum up to your desired build

example accessories that sum up to that example 4x3+2+2

[stray goblet]

spirit absorp

dont run that shit

[rich agate]

that's also why i was saying only relic+ accessories will be kept, legendary accessories can only have up to 3/3 nodes so it is quite hard to get them to sum up to what you want

[heady hollow]

thats literally what u run on artist

you dont need to anymore technically but still

[rose wren]

EXAMPLE word

[rich agate]

i'm aware, but he did ask

[stray goblet]

what does sa gives you

[heady hollow]

artist had long animations and it would speed them up, make artist feel less clunky

but with the new artist buffs and changes, its not that important

[unkempt kraken]

So the engravings here are giving bonuses to the power of those abilities at the bottom

[rich agate]

i just run 5x3 on my artist, i had this example laying around cause i was just seeing what it would take if i wanted to run it lol

[shut pasture]

What you're seeing at the bottom are the engravings

[rich agate]

yes, it's just addition, every 5 nodes grants you a level up to lvl 3 at 15 nodes

so if you wanted a lvl 3 (15 nodes) engraving in hit master you could get 2 accessories with hit master +6 and 1 accessory with hit master +3

[unkempt kraken]

Ohh so the bonus stats on the gear are giving bonuses to your engravings

[rich agate]

or 3 accessories with hit master +5

or an ability stone with hit master +7, 1 accessory with hit master +5, and 1 accessory with hit master +3

as long as it adds up to 15

[unkempt kraken]

Ahhhhhh I see

[shut pasture]

What the Accessories are doing is adding "nodes" or "pips" or "points", whatever you want to call them.

[unkempt kraken]

And every 5 is one level?

[shut pasture]

Yes

So as you can imagine, a single Accessory being, for instance, Hit Master +5/ Adrenaline +3 would mean you get Level 1 Hit Master from that single Accessory.

[unkempt kraken]

So I assume those levels are just increasing the bonuses from the engravings for example if I were to use GS tike to hunt it would give more of the bonuses to my sniper and dual pistol?

[rich agate]

tier 2 (500-1100 ilvl) accessories give a maximum of 2 nodes in a single engraving, so you can imagine it's impossible to build a 5x3 with them

[heady oar]

does elgacia pass provide brel gear ?

[shut pasture]

Yes. The higher the level of the Engraving you have equipped the stronger the bonuses that it is providing. You can see this detailed in their descriptions.

[rich agate]

early tier 3 (1250-1415 ilvl) accessories give a maximum of 3 nodes each in two different engravings, so you can build like 4x3 with them but not 5x3

tier 3 relic (1415-1540) accessories give a maximum of 5 nodes in one engraving and 3 nodes in another, so that opens up 5x3

then you have tier 3 ancient (1540+ accessories) that cap at 6/3, which opens up more advanced builds

[unkempt kraken]

So this essentially means 5 tier 3 engravings, 5 3s and a t1

[rich agate]

yes

or 4 level 3s and 2 level 2s

[unkempt kraken]

Gotcha gotcha

[unkempt kraken]

So relics will drop with random stats into these specific engravings?

[paper walrus]

accesories

[rich agate]

i believe 4x3+2+1 is a common setup for peacemaker GS too, with level 1 on peacemaker

[paper walrus]

4x3+2+1 is outdated

still possible but not bis

[rich agate]

i see

[shut pasture]

Accessories (Earrings, Rings, Necklace)

Yeah thats way outdated

[rich agate]

yup you have 5 accessory slots that will roll random combat stats and random engravings

plus ability stone slot

[paper walrus]

and book

[rich agate]

so you need to make sure to get accessories with the correct combat stats for your class that also have random engravings that add up to what you want for your build

and also try to avoid stacking up red engravings to 5 nodes

[unkempt kraken]

So that math that you put there is only accounting for the stats given from those 5 pieces

Oh wait no

[rich agate]

no, the ability stone is a different system where you roll engravings on it with rng enhancements

[shut pasture]

It encompasses all things; Engraving Slots, Accessories, and Ability Stone

[rich agate]

and then you have the engraving books where you can add up to 2 +12s to your build

[unkempt kraken]

And what about engraving 1 and 2?

[rich agate]

those are the books from the engraving chests you mentioned

[unkempt kraken]

So the total total aight

[unkempt kraken]

Ahhh so do you roll those aswell or do you choose the book for the specific ones you use

[shut pasture]

You choose the books

[rich agate]

depends

[paper walrus]

choose

[shut pasture]

Normally you're running your Class Engraving + One combat engraving that would fit your build

[rich agate]

well you choose your books but the obtain methods can be rng drops, buying, or using selector chests

[paper walrus]

you have to level the books though

[rich agate]

it starts off at +3, 20 blue books gets it to +6, 20 purple books gets it to +9, and then 20 legendary books gets it to +12

normally you just go buy them with gold on the auction house

[unkempt kraken]

Then how come at the bottom of mushrooms image he has 5 engravings

[rich agate]

some events will give selector chests that help you build them faster

they meant just from the books

you have 2 slots on your character profile for the engraving books

that's why you only see 2 +12s

[unkempt kraken]

OH I SEE okay

[shut pasture]

Because there are 5 active, up to a potential of +12 can come from each of your two Engraving Slots on your Character window.

[unkempt kraken]

So generally the hardest pieces to get are gonna be the 5 acessories

[rich agate]

the rest of your build must be filled in with accessories and ability stones

[paper walrus]

generally the hardest part is getting a good stone

[rich agate]

it depends, if you are going for 5x3+2 the stone would be the harder part

if you are going for 5x3 the stone is pretty easy

[unkempt kraken]

So I would only need plus 3 on pieces of gear to aquire a level 3 of the engravings?

[rich agate]

yes

[unkempt kraken]

This is all very interesting and a lot better than some other mmos I have played xd

[shut pasture]

Of those two, yes. Which is why one of the slots is used for your Class Engraving so you only need +3 from a single accessory to make it +15

[rich agate]

common strategy is to get a 3/5 or 3/6 accessory where the 3 is your class engraving, then combine that with a +12 book

and the 5/6 is something else your character wants

[unkempt kraken]

I see I see

[rose wren]

yea, u just equip stuff and off u go

[unkempt kraken]

It's also a lot more deep and more fine tuned it seems to where your focusing specific things other games in the genre I have played generally just make the average smack 2 prices of gear together until you get Better one

Beyond much like a jigsaw puzzle

[rich agate]

then common combinations for the engravings that you're not using books on but your ability stone has would be 3+5+7 (stone), 3+4+8 (stone), 3+6+6 (stone), etc

then for the engravings where you're not using books or stone it would usually be 5+5+5 or 3+6+6

[unkempt kraken]

Ty paper ^^

[rich agate]

ability stone has 2 engravings that can be 0-10 depending on your luck when enhancing them, common goals are 6/6, 6/7, 6/8 for 5x3, 7/7 for 5x3+1, 9/7 or 10/6 for 5x3+2

the more you're trying to optimize your build the less flexible it gets

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah

[rose wren]

ability stone doesnt have class engraving

[unkempt kraken]

So the highest you can get is what 5 x 3 +2+2?

[rich agate]

no, 5x3+2

[unkempt kraken]

Alright good to know

[rich agate]

5x3+2 is extremely difficult and very few players have it

[shut pasture]

Also not necessary

Really only need 5x3

[rich agate]

most endgame players just use 5x3+1

[unkempt kraken]

So it has to be on either the 5 peices of gear and then the 2 books

[shut pasture]

Even 5x3+1 isn't necessary, its just attainable if they want it

[rich agate]

5x3 tends to be good enough on alts

[rose wren]

yea but otherway to build it too

[rich agate]

on supports you can often get away with 4x3

[unkempt kraken]

Ty both so much ^^

[rich agate]

supports are good alts to have for new players cause you don't need to invest as much into them and you'll have an easier time getting accepted into parties

[unkempt kraken]

Well all 4 of you xd

[vast oriole]

theres a support abundance in low content

they wont take a shit support

msot of the time

[unkempt kraken]

So they are stuck in lower levels?

Riperoonies

[vast oriole]

just gear it correctly and people accept

[rich agate]

I saw a pally in hakkan with lvl 3-4 gems the other day 👀

[vast oriole]

not like 5x3 is expensive

iw said low level content

theres supp shortage 1580+

[rich agate]

yeah

[vast oriole]

and people are stupid
im sorry
but taking a shitt geared support doesnt help you

thats why lot of supports are so entitled

[unkempt kraken]

So I assume when people use 6 characters most people use 6 dps if there's a supp shortage?

[rich agate]

even sonavel starting to have support surplus

[robust marlin]

Using maxroll honing calculator - I assume if the book is in green then its worth spending the gold on the book to use for honing?

[unkempt kraken]

I mean there's only 3 in the game righ?

[paper walrus]

3 supports

[rich agate]

some people just don't enjoy playing support

so they'll just make 6 dps

[paper walrus]

if the number shows up its worth

if you have optimal mats checked

[rich agate]

green number means how much gold value it's theoretically saving you compared to not using it

[shut pasture]

However keep in mind...you do not need to run 6 characters

Like ever.

[unkempt kraken]

Yeah I've just heard it's optimal for daily gold income right?

Or something

[robust marlin]

Ok and red value is gold cost?

[shut pasture]

Nope. Not optimal.

[ruby sinew]

Hi I recently started lost ark, and after North Vern I got a Power Pass. Is North Vern the only place where I can get one or do I get one later in south vern or Punika?

[unkempt kraken]

Oh lmao nvm then 💀

[shut pasture]

It is the exact opposite of optimal

[rich agate]

yes, 6 characters is optimal for gold income, but games are for fun so play however you find it fun

[paper walrus]

alts will never pay you back

[unkempt kraken]

Kinda crazy

[rose wren]

yes, the rest of the powerpass r events

[unkempt kraken]

But that's very good

[paper walrus]

only north

[shut pasture]

The higher you push alts, which is what those people tend to do, means they are putting themselves at a higher and higher gold deficit per alt

And take more away from your main

[rich agate]

well alts will drain gold if you keep pushing them but if you park them after a certain ilvl and do raids on them you'll hit return on investment

[unkempt kraken]

Ah alr that's good to know

[shut pasture]

Because people forget that they are spending gold not only to hone to 1540, then 1580, but also on gems and on 5x3

[rich agate]

I have my main at 1610 with most of my alts parked at 1550-ish

[shut pasture]

So with the investment means those alts have to essentially pay themselves off before you're technically seeing profit

You can effectively play one main and be fine
