dps bard best class in the game

#

idk, depends what you mean by balanced

#

if you mean any class can clear the content, sure
if you mean, if theres some classes underperforming, sure as well

coral jungle
vast oriole
#

at the end of the day, class doesnt really matter

coral jungle
vast oriole
#

if youre dogshit at the game, even if you play the msot broken class, you still wont do damage

#

demonic impulse shadowhunter

#

is like one of the worst class atm

hybrid willow
#

reflux sorc

coral jungle
#

I'm sorry but I mean idk on which bases I should choose since idk the abilities atm

vast oriole
#

to choose, i would suggest to watch the class advice guide here

vast oriole
#

and watch videos

#

the ONLY thing you dont play is dps support

coral jungle
#

I hate support lmao so its defo not an option lol

floral saffron
coral jungle
#

Tbf im unsure between war and martial arts

vast oriole
#

theres multiple classes in martial artists

gray verge
coral jungle
rose wren
#

some kind of lore

coral jungle
#

I mean, it's cool to have such a variety of classes, but we're still talking about the same class

rose jewel
#

The lore is humans have males and females

#

End

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Same answer

#

No class is the same

coral jungle
#

Oh yeah, thought there was a missing comma mb. Still I saw that and that was what I was questioning

rose jewel
#

Gunslinger female counterpart of Deadeye, different play style

coral jungle
#

So there's just a difference in names?

rose jewel
#

Striker male counterpart if wardancer, same story

#

Breaker and scrapper, same story

coral jungle
#

I'm sorry to bother but I wanna understand

rose jewel
#

Slayer and serker, same story

#

Gender unlocked

#

That's it

#

A couple similarities on skills, gameplay is different

coral jungle
#

Striker or breaker? Which one is better?

vast oriole
#

both are good

rose jewel
#

Both

vast oriole
#

breaker is the last one released

coral jungle
#

Or at least which are the differences

vast oriole
#

so gearing him is expensive

rose jewel
#

Do-not-pick-for-meta

vast oriole
#

i mean

rose jewel
#

Pick for fun

coral jungle
vast oriole
#

striker is a back attacker
breaker has a non positional build and a front attack build

#

literally VERY different classes

#

striker and breaker are not similar at all

rose jewel
#

Every time you ask "what is better X or Y"

coral jungle
# rose jewel Pick for fun

Yeah but idk which ones I could enjoy, I'm gonna give a look at the skills or I'll go for a striker cause I simply like him

rose jewel
#

We will answer the same

shut pasture
# coral jungle Wym

It means don't pick a class because it is "highest performing" at the moment. That can change very easily and if you chase that sort of thing you're just going to end up swapping classes every 6 months and that is not a great experience.

rose jewel
#

All classes clear all content

vast oriole
#

watch the skills, watch videos about how the gameplay looks like

floral saffron
#

unless ur arna

vast oriole
#

and decide that way

#

i clear all content wdym

coral jungle
#

Given that I feel free to pick for fun

rose jewel
#

No game in existence has a perfectly balanced roster of classes

rose wren
#

all class pass content, its wasting artist time to make useless stuff

rose jewel
#

Stop with that mentality

#

If we say all classes clear all, and several people do, it's for something

#

This ain't like wow or some shit where one class rules above most if not all (never played wow)

coral jungle
rose wren
#

its darksoul, anything can finish game

coral jungle
#

I just don't wanna my ass to get kicked by everyone cause the class I pick is trash. As simple as that

rose jewel
#

A "low performing class" can easily get MVP if the "op class" user sucks massive 🐓

coral jungle
#

If you ensure it won't happen I'll pick freely

rose jewel
#

Bro

#

You ain't pvping

rose wren
#

gatekeep r ugly and pick on anything

rose jewel
#

This is a PvE game mostly, if you kill the boss everyone did their job

rose wren
#

u can find not ugly and clear

rose jewel
#

What does it matter if you did 2% less dmg than the rest

fallow crane
#

you dont get mvp

rose jewel
#

Stupid mentality, throw it away

coral jungle
# rose jewel You ain't pvping

Yeah but i will at some point I suppose. But, anyway, that wasn't the point. You said "all classes clear all", so I'm totally fine

rose jewel
#

Pvp is ded and sucks

coral jungle
#

Cool

#

Btw how do you explain the downfall of players of the game?

#

Since like 2y ago

vast oriole
#

its pretty stable since 2 years

rose jewel
#

The same as every other MMO in existence

#

Millions try the fotm

vast oriole
#

there was a lot of players in first month, like every mmo

#

thats all

rose jewel
#

Then leave for the next fotm

vast oriole
#

^

rose jewel
#

Then the core users stay

coral jungle
#

Kk

rose jewel
#

People come and go, if they don't like it it's fine, if they do they stay

coral jungle
#

Main thing is there aren't many rly big issues

rose jewel
#

There are a lot, same as any MMO In existence

#

You are overthinking it

#

Try the game, it's free

#

It's cool, combat is at least

coral jungle
#

Nah I'm just having a conversation dude

rose jewel
#

And raids are top tier

coral jungle
#

No big concerns

#

I will try no worries

bold geyser
#

not signum's strong suit 😄

rose jewel
#

Oh yeah true my social skills are lacking

#

According to someone yesterday

bold geyser
#

rude

rose jewel
#

Add one to the list

#

Let's see

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Bald, 40yo, basement dweller, angry, poor, lacking social skills, what else?

fallow crane
#

ugly

rose jewel
#

Ah true

bold geyser
#

wardancer 👎

rose jewel
#

Ok, you can say whatever to me

#

But respect my baby

bold geyser
#

lol

rose jewel
#

There are limits bro

bold geyser
#

so what do i do with my jars if i'm not supposed to fish for legendaries?

vast oriole
#

nothing

rose jewel
#

Store them until they get cobwebs

vast oriole
#

get epic and sell them

bold geyser
#

so open them= P

rose jewel
#

Or yolo

#

Anyway

rose jewel
#

If you can tell us what kind of play style you like in other games, be it MMO or just action or whatever

#

We may be able to pinpoint a class for you

#

Just be specific

#

"I like fast" is not specific

coral jungle
#

Yeah but it's kinda hard to explain lmao, even cause tbf I don't consider myself to be an mvp of the genre. Anyway, I used to play war and ninja on other mmos

rose jewel
#

What is war

coral jungle
#

Warrior

rose jewel
#

I mean, class, not the word

#

Oh ofc

#

Well, for ninja we have something like reaper

rose jewel
#

And berserker or berserker with boobies

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Oh god

vast oriole
#

@hybrid willow your specialty

hybrid willow
#

body or mental

coral jungle
coral jungle
rose jewel
#

The only bad thing is that you're old enough to have played and remember that game

coral jungle
#

Cause it was pretty the easiest

rose jewel
#

Older than some here

coral jungle
#

Cool

vast oriole
#

i wish i was 20

coral jungle
#

I'm reading the guides

rose jewel
#

You look like 20

coral jungle
#

What does dps stand for?

rose jewel
#

Damage per second

#

Damage class in general

#

In this case

#

You are a damage dealer or a support

#

In this game there are no tanks

#

You dodge or get rekt

floral saffron
coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Mhm

#

No ez "tank eat all damage"

#

You gotta move

coral jungle
#

But why it says "no investment" or "low investment build"

bold geyser
#

i can mostly eat all damage on my gl but i have to keep really high uptime for good dam

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Some classes have cheap builds, for one reason or another

bold geyser
#

"market forces"

coral jungle
#

From the outside I don't get the reason tbf

rose jewel
#

Be it popularity or the type of build

#

Or new class vs old class

#

Eh, a lot of stuff

bold geyser
#

a lot of builds use the same sort of gear, so the prices get driven up

coral jungle
#

I'm tempted just to get smn with a no investment build, it should be easier

bold geyser
#

whereas some are more specific and niche

rose jewel
#

Eh, no

#

Easier yes, but you may end up hating the class

#

Then the investment, low or high, to the toilet

coral jungle
#

Wym

vast oriole
#

low investment would be support msot likely

coral jungle
#

Oh got it

bold geyser
#

yeah i would pick ones that look appealing regardless of any cons

rose jewel
#

Besides

bold geyser
#

then work from there

rose jewel
#

You gotta spend nearly no cash right now

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

They give "FOR ONE CHAR ALONE" a full playable build for 3 months

coral jungle
#

That's why I want to be sure before starting a game

rose jewel
#

I said cash but I don't mean literally real cash

vast oriole
#

im f2p unless you count my addiction to skins

coral jungle
#

Cause then I start to put all the effort possible in it

rose jewel
#

It's just in-game resources

coral jungle
#

Yeah yeah misundertood

rose jewel
#

If you liked ninja, go reaper, if you liked the generic warrior, go slayer or berserker

#

Watch playstyle videos

#

Then pick your poison

#

1 char alone will have a full build for 3 months for free

#

The other will start nearly from scratch

bold geyser
#

this is what pops up if i search metin 2 think

rose jewel
#

"Sucky MMO not even 110k users online it's ded"

bold geyser
#

oh its an old krpg, gotcha

shut pasture
#

The title isn't literal

bold geyser
#

i'm sure it's fine just not a flattering splash 🙂

vast oriole
rose jewel
#

Clickbait if you wanna name it

shut pasture
#

Sure

bold geyser
#

yis

shut pasture
#

He actually has some good insights into the genre

gray verge
#

Ragebait tbh

shut pasture
#

Also I respect him being a GW2 fan and him still calling ANet out on their absurdity in management

#

Anyway

shut pasture
rose jewel
#

But but

#

It's a literal clickbait

bold geyser
#

that said, i'm not sure any of this translates into lost ark

#

its tooooooo old

gray verge
#

Clickbait Thumbnail, have some valid points in video but mostly personal preference.
As per how video essays usually work

viscid osprey
#

is there a way to distmantle an elixir?

rose jewel
#

Same as any other thing you dismantle

rose wren
#

bot clog up first few months, its annoying

gray verge
#

At least it’s not a bunch of stole video essay content reposted as a content mill
stares Hbomberly

viscid osprey
#

hm, its greyed out for me to dismantle elixirs

gray verge
rose jewel
#

Then those elixirs were given to you via event or something

vast oriole
rose jewel
#

Trash them

viscid osprey
#

that makes sense, its the event ones, thanks

bold geyser
#

ah those are event-only too?

coral jungle
#

And I went down to 5 classes

bold geyser
#

good start 🙂

#

you can play multiple chars

#

it splits your resources, and your time, which is generally inadvisable

#

but you can

vast oriole
#

now watch videos about each class

coral jungle
#

Rage Hammer Destroyer
Combat Readiness Gunlacer
First Intention Wardancer
Evolutionary Legacy Machinist
Firepower Enhancement Artillerist

vast oriole
#

and you can eliminate

coral jungle
#

So I guess I'll use the same class for my alts as well

#

That's why I'm paying extreme attention to the choice as well

bold geyser
#

also an option, though again, not required

vast oriole
#

i guess the hardest from them is the destroyer

#

for your info

coral jungle
coral jungle
rose wren
vast oriole
#

well, people like wardancer because of their crit synergy
people like gunlancer because he has a taunt

coral jungle
vast oriole
#

firepower artillerist is a very unpopular class so accessories will be cheap

coral jungle
#

But I trust you more

vast oriole
#

all of them are kinda easy

coral jungle
#

So I'm down to three

rose jewel
#

Evo legacy is like, not really a gunner most of the time

#

Literally iron man transformation and melee hits

vast oriole
#

if you want to watch a rage hammer destroyer, i would advise you to watch ohbenji videos

#

hes a kr streamer playing it

rose wren
#

cant believe they didnt kept scouter name

fallen harness
#

with so many of these is it better to use them on +18 or just hold them all for 19?

vast oriole
#

you can use at 18

rose jewel
#

Imagine one tapping 19 but pittying 18 coz you didn't use them

#

Use whenever you like honestly

#

I better get higher faster

#

But you do you

coral jungle
#

Is there a big difference between first intention wardancer and esoteric flurry striker?

rose wren
#

ive had moment even when u use all those stuff, still hit pity

rose jewel
#

Fi wd is more mobile due to one skill and being full swift

coral jungle
#

So striker is worse?

hybrid willow
#

and FI can be but doest have to be back attack

rose jewel
#

And boobies

hybrid willow
#

striker is always entropy

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

It's not about worse or better

vast oriole
rose jewel
#

It's different

coral jungle
#

But I prefer to watch em not to have them lmao

rose jewel
#

I told you this already

#

You can have them and watch them

#

What's the issue there

coral jungle
#

As simple as that

#

Not talking bout the pure strenght

rose jewel
#

I never played male classes but paladin

#

So I won't know

#

Fuck paladin

#

Female paladin when

coral jungle
#

The fact is that I'd rly like to have a male character

vast oriole
#

why

coral jungle
#

Idk it's no sexism but I just prefer it, I sort of empathise more with the character and I find it to be cooler

#

Like I'm a man and prefer to have a male character, if I was a women I'd have prefered to have a female char

solar surge
#

ya im the same

vast oriole
#

then play striker and not wardancer

rose wren
#

guess im stuch with these(bound chara) unless destory🫠

sage garnet
#

I've spent over 900 pheons on ability stones bcs I wanted 9/7 but my best was 8/7. Now Im broke on pheons, how do I live with it guys?

coral jungle
vast oriole
#

wardancer isnt back attack
striker is

rose jewel
#

I'm a dude and I like to watch a female char more

vast oriole
#

theres few differences here and there

rose wren
#

play what u prefer

rose jewel
#

Can't watch a dude's butt the whole day no ty

coral jungle
vast oriole
#

depends

rose wren
vast oriole
#

back attacking is harder

rose jewel
#

Yep

bold geyser
#

there's also breaker, which is a male martial artist like striker but quite different in playstyle

rose jewel
#

Oraoraorsoraora

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Do you like to oraoraoraoraora?

vast oriole
#

u can always wear an animal suit on the wardancer and never know its a female

rose jewel
#

Go fister

coral jungle
bold geyser
#

you can want a male or female or whatever, but when my char looks like this its kinda moot 😄

bold geyser
rose jewel
#

Positioning can be bad sometimes but as you play you just do it naturally and out of muscle memory

#

There are only a few bosses that are a bitch for back attacking

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Funny enough our next raid is a back attacker heaven, or so people say

#

Bro

#

Classes have cons and pros

#

If you like it just go for it

#

Not like you will do 0 damage

coral jungle
#

Yeah indeed, I'm gonna go for an esoteric flurry striker

#

Final chouce

#

Choice

rose jewel
#

Any class you use at this very moment will do negative damage

#

Because you're new

coral jungle
#

If I start to watch videos of each class I'll never decide and never play

#

So

rose jewel
#

Good

#

Btw you can just try both class engraves

#

The event let's you switch freely

#

The only bad thing is getting accessories with the right stats, but those can drop from your dailies

bold geyser
#

eso works with spec too if it wants, i think?

rose jewel
#

No idea how those things build

#

I'm a simple man I got full swift or full spec on wd

@coral jungle

The Ultimate Striker Infoset

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

bold geyser
#

go nuts 🙂

night zenith
#

Guys what's cheaper predator slayer or first intention wardancer?

shy hamlet
#

but go for whatever is more fun

#

no point in building what's not fun for u

night zenith
dim adder
#

go arcana

night zenith
#

Also why are the books so cheap?

rose jewel
#

Old class

bold geyser
#

slayers really popular, and newer

night zenith
shy hamlet
rose jewel
#

I'm not fi

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

So it was a bit costly

#

But spec in general costs a lot more

night zenith
#

100k?

rose jewel
#

Ehh probably

night zenith
#

How much is fi do you reckon?

shy hamlet
#

You can prolly get FI 5x3 for like 20k or so kek 5x3+1 like 50-100k depends on what quality meets ur standards for FI

rose jewel
#

Like half of that

#

Or less

#

But what eith said

#

+1 always costs more

night zenith
#

Should I buy ancient and relics together or only ancients?

shy hamlet
#

Whatever gets u the build cheapest

#

1 ancient accessory was like what 0.6% dmg increase or so if i remember correctly

rose jewel
#

Generally full ancient, but if you find a very cheap very good relic, mostly ring, go for it

#

Or even neck

night zenith
#

basic effects dont matter?

ruby marsh
#

Hi I cut a 9/5 ambush adren stone is it fine to settle?

rose jewel
#

Yes

ruby marsh

For 5x3+1

#

Do I need a lot of cooldown gems for wd fi?

charred gull
#

1600 swift, 70/30, los18 7 gems.

rose jewel
#

Ehh, like any other class, higher gems means faster rotations

foggy vapor
#

can someone explain to me the swords/stagger mechanic from kayangel gate 3? im not sure how to balance pinging the swords and looking at the clones (or which runes to ping)

rose jewel
#

The class guide tells you what gems you need

foggy vapor
#

I've done it twice now in different raids but I feel like it was out of luck

charred gull
#

Shit qual so far, but might spend more if it’s not a pipe dream to be relevant before levels kick in

rose jewel
rose jewel
coral jungle
#

How do I change commands? I picked right clicked commands but prefer to switch attack and move

rose jewel
foggy vapor
night zenith
#

signum eso is better then fi?

rose jewel
#

Better for what

#

Define better

bold geyser
#

sec

night zenith
#

Stronger?

rose jewel
#

Barely

#

Both are around the same dmg

#

Assuming played well

foggy vapor
rose jewel
#

Ask in the class channel if you are that worried about doing like 500k dmg less in a 2min parse

coral jungle
bold geyser
#

ping this

foggy vapor
#

I'll rewatch a guide ty

bold geyser
#

ignore this

rose jewel
night zenith
rose jewel
#

Even if you miss something the others will ping

#

But still

#

You are probably doing an Olympic lap

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

Just find the stuff fast and run straight to your clone

bold geyser
#

also pay special attention to the spots taht your team is pinging, becuase very likely you'll either need to ping there, or stagger there

rose jewel
coral jungle

are the actual rowen faction outfits from being in rowen obtainable as skins? the purchasable one with symael is a separate version

#

Just watch a gameplay vid of the G3 raid

#

Yeah

#

It's very easy but the first times obviously you gonna panic

bold geyser
#

is this the right spot for the mokoko? this door just opens at some point?

rose jewel
#

As soon as he teleports you should already be standing on the spot ready to run and look

#

Aka 12 o'clock

bold geyser
#

waitwhat

rose jewel
#

I would do a run myself and stream it but I'm at work

#

What

livid fossil
#

Stream at work what

rose jewel
#

Clearly not what I said

#

I wish I could do that

bold geyser
#

this is in the sage hallway, maxroll says "sage will leave in half an hour"

#

but they were not clear as to which sage, or which door 😄

rose jewel
#

No idea about that, I was talking to the corn

thanks signum

well ill leave it up and see

@fringe daggeryou have to do floor 8

rose jewel
#

Yep

#

ahh ok thanks !

#

maxroll not updated? how odd

rose jewel
#

It would be odd if it was

cinder totem
#

The gearing guide I'm following says to craft the 1250 legendary gear from the abyss equipment npc, which requires me to run the 1340 abyssal dungeons but the queue never pops. What am I supposed to do?

rose jewel
#

Which guide

#

Coz that's very skippable

cinder totem
#

Maxroll lol

rose jewel
#

Of course

#

You can skip legendary

#

Go straight to relic

cinder totem
#

Skippable just by honing the dimensional gear?

rose jewel
#

Ye

#

You can go from purple or even blue to relic

cinder totem
#

okay so just hone up to 1415 to do valtan?

rose jewel
#

1460, even 1490

#

No need to do legions on ilv

cinder totem
#

Okay, it's gamba time

#

thanks

rose jewel
#

Hone transfer is 1:1

rose wren
bold geyser
cinder totem
bold geyser
#

not likely to find a 1415 raid, get to at least 1445 for hard

fervent mauve
#

is 1610 easy to hit on a new account with current express? (I can funnel 20k to it weekly)

#

or should I just park at 1600

rose wren
#

nothing is easy at endgame honing

fervent mauve
#

ok 1600 it is

hallow flicker
#

The honing is the cheapest part at that point

#

hallow flicker
#

Mostly join a mokoko discord and find/create learner parties

rose wren
#

alt isnt required

hallow flicker
#

The gatekeeping part is cause people join reclears without knowing anything and waste people’s time

rose wren
#

u dont have to spend wholeday grinding, do what u like, its a game afterall, enjoy it

hallow flicker
#

Like I’m not a gatekeeper but I have to start doing that cause all these new high ilvl players from the express do not know mech for raids 100 ilvl below deadge

#

And people want similarly geared people in their party

#

So don’t join a juiced lobby on a weak char

rose wren
#

when u try to help in rando lobby, no1 really speaks out, just feel like they're getting the like blame but not

coral jungle
#

Guys which mokoko headband should I pick as a striker?

rose wren
#

whichever u fancy more

coral jungle
#

Yeah but I'm new and Idk the differences between thr abilities

rose wren
#

they aint, its just skin

coral jungle
#

So I thought there was a fixed pattern

coral jungle
bold geyser
rose wren
#

rapport, hardly matters

bold geyser
# coral jungle What are the virtues then?

you need certain virtues for various horizontal checks in the game, there are many ways to collect them, skins are probably the least impactful and eventually you'll have enough that the skin values dont' even matter

#

that said, if you don't care about the headbands and intend to put it on for the stats alone but hide the graphic, for my money charisma is the hardest check to hit

coral jungle
#

What about the pe

#

Pet?*

rose jewel
# rustic crow ive been reading reviews after i played lost ark im like 15 hours in and im read...

People over exaggerate stuff, yes it's not easy joining parties as a newbie, but because some people wanna play full agent and go into super experienced lobbies as a new player, they kick them and get salty and trash talk everyone and the game, no alt anything is needed, no alt accounts, no alt characters, you can play slowly with 1 char and be cool, slow but steady, alts are for if you wanna play more, they are an investment, they don't return the gold spent asap, may take weeks or even months/a year, play for fun

rose wren
#

huh they nerf some of the fieldbosses, no longer scale down

rose jewel
#

Game's free, just try it

bold geyser
# coral jungle Pet?*

the only material difference between pets is their stronghold mission pokemon-type element, but the different missions are all over the place and there isn't some "better" element to have on hand, and if you accumulate enough pets it's moot

analog quest
#

what do i do with book of judgment

rose jewel
#

Also, steam reviews is full of trolls usually

bold geyser
bold geyser
# coral jungle Pet?*

that said, i defintely recommend choosing at least one pet, because you get the +10% stat bonus and auto-looting items

rustic crow
#

im confused about the powerpass i remember using it ? but now idont have it?

#

im very confused

livid fossil
#

Auto loot is so good

rose jewel
#

Really recommend to read the guides above

livid fossil
#

HUH reading guides

rose jewel
#

Game has a lot of shit in the beginning and you may feel a bit overwhelmed due to lots of info

rustic crow
#

nor is it activated cause i went on character selection

rose jewel
#

Did you have an orange ticket in your mail

#

✉️

heady hollow
#

He probably consumed it, and then didn’t know he had to go back to char select and actually use it

#

Is my guess

jaunty bobcat
#

Hey guys, the normal skill gems are coloured yellow/amber right? What are blue gems? is there any difference between the two?

rose jewel
#

Asking step by step coz people get lost really easily

shy chasm
#

blue gems are t2

rose jewel
#

Tier 2 means ||read the gem's description||

jaunty bobcat
#

but the effects are the same? i mean level 10 yellow and level 10 blue has the same effects right?

rose wren
#

dont use tier2 when ya in tier3

jaunty bobcat
#

oh i see thats why its cheaper

How do I get the Trusted status for the playtime rewards?

sage duneBOT
#

FAQ for Trusted Status (may take a few days to update status)
Must spend at least 5 USD on steam account AND set up 2FA with mobile steam guard.
Details: Steam FAQ and Amazon Games Trusted Info

coral jungle
#

Bruh ty

#

Will never spend 5 usd lmao

rose jewel
#

On steam account

#

Not directly to the game

#

Unless you are one of those who only have free games in their library

#

Which is not bad, but

coral jungle
rose jewel
#

2 more to go

heady hollow
#

if u dont have trusted, its gonna be real hard to play this game imo Weirdga

#

auction house is too important to be locked out of

rose wren
#

or be trusted randomly maybe

ruby marsh
#

Should I be spending phones first on stones

shy chasm
#

yes

#

you make stone first

#

buy books then buy accs

coral jungle
#

However how do I activate pet storage

shy chasm
#

buy crystalline aura

#

it costs gold

coral jungle
#

Where do i find it

shy chasm
#

shop

#

f4

heady hollow
#

have to convert gold into bc and then buy it

viscid osprey
#

how important is accessoire quality? which quality level is "good"?

fading hill
#

extremely

heady hollow
#

important

maiden ivy
#

Especially spec

fading hill
#

should aim for 90+. if you can't afford ancient accessories go for 90+ on relic

maiden ivy
#

If ur a crit stat main it matters way less though imo

fading hill
#

neck most important > earring > ring

heady hollow
#

minimum blue qual on anything that isnt spec shruge

maiden ivy
#

Depends on class but neck can easily be fine with 70-80 if you have a good main/sub spread

heady hollow
#

spec is purple if u can afford it

livid fossil
#

How do I use pheons when it only say gold to buy

rose jewel
#

What are you even trying to buy

maiden ivy
#

20 pheons for ancient bracelet

livid fossil
maiden ivy
#

Idk abt the relic braces

#

9 pheons for reic ability stones

viscid osprey
#

class would be arcana, i would want to play both specs long term (so need 2 accessoir sets)

maiden ivy
#

Spec is very quality dependant

rustic crow
#

mp event pass

rose jewel
#

I ask again

maiden ivy
#

Mainly because spec heavily influences rotations and directly influences damage

rose jewel
#

Was there any orange ticket in your mail

swift idol
#

wehre can i get notified for legendary cards being sold for sets like LOS? (from wandering merchants)

rose jewel
swift idol
rose jewel
#

Ye

rustic crow
#

sorry about that

rose jewel
#

Yeah no

#

One pass per REGION only

hollow quiver
coral jungle
#

What is the elegacia powerpass

rose jewel
#

There was saintbot long ago, but I believe it was not being used

#

And since the merchant update it was like kinda empty, I believe the entries were manual

#

So people didn't really used it

#

Idk if it still exists tho

#

Or if it's even used

rose jewel
#

I believe that's also on the guides

rose wren
coral jungle
#

Do I have to use it?

hollow quiver
#

hmmm okay.. its just not always i play with the browser open

rose jewel
#

You don't have to

#

But if you don't care about the story and just wanna ungabunga raids and all that, use it

#

It's not permanent, it expires (usually)

coral jungle
#

Mhhh im tempted

rose jewel
#

If you wanna do the story, you can just create a second char later

coral jungle
#

Actually im kinda interested in the story but it's way too long and invadent imo

maiden ivy
#

I mean u can also use it quickly on smth and make an alt

#

Because of the runes and skillpoints u het with it

#

Get*

fading hill
#

story's not that cool imo

rose jewel
#

For you

#

I liked it

fading hill
#

yeah imo

rose wren
#

can yt

fading hill
#

if you're a new player pass your char and go back to the story when you have more free time if you care about progression

#

otherwise play at your own pace and enjoy the game

#

and don't do the story on gunlancer like me

rose wren
#

ya saying all those people who started gunlancer r...

coral jungle
#

My pc has become a plane since I opened the game lol

rose wren
#

dust it out... unless laptop

#

weird cube quest, doesnt seem to appear on another charac, wonder y, ive cancel quest

vast oriole
#

if its a laptop, can always use compressed air if theres too much dust inside

rose wren
#

hair?

vast oriole
#

i meant air

shy chasm
#

yes

#

you didnt claim gold on clown

viscid osprey
#

how does honing from 1605 onwards work? I still have some of these +4% chance books, but I don't know how to get more besides the few the event shop offers, I don't know how to get these items that offer +honing chance and I'm not sure if acquiring them from the auction house would be worth their high price
pity triggers only after ~50 attempts
will amazon offer some new support to reach thaemine raid level and I should just wait?
is there another way to increase these abysmal low success chances?

shy chasm
#

solars

#

and yes

#

there are books

#

but once they run out no

#

also theres no rush for 1610

rustic crow
#

its not letting me interact to continue the path?

rose wren
#

rock honing mostly from cube reward, evacating maps reward too, then its just event

fading hill
#

it does the math for you

rose wren
viscid osprey
#

is there another way to get those solar + honing chance items?

rose wren
#

i just mention...

heady hollow
#

you shouldnt be using solars at 1605, espesically not on armor Weirdga imo

fading hill
dreamy bluff
#

we got the same amount of event xp pots as we had last time(with SE) right? so i just need to reach 56.71 then use the 25 pots

heady hollow
#

1605-1610 isnt that bad, you have like 2 weeks as well

#

pretty doable imo

viscid osprey
#

if I buy those +honing chance materials from frog, is it worth the gold price?

rose wren
heady hollow
#

the solars from frog are actually giga worth Weirdga

fading hill
#

frog is insanely worth for any of the mats he sells

heady hollow
#

insanely worth might be a stretch for all the mats

#

but the solars 100%

fading hill
#

well bottom line is they're the cheapest you can buy those mats

rose wren
#

300 for 1

trail hawk
#

300 for 1 bag with 5 solars

viscid osprey
#

are frog materials better priced than chests from legion raids?

trail hawk
#

you get way less mats in legion raids

rain charm
#

legion raid mats are also character bound

#

but the boxes from frog can be sent to whichever character you want to open those mats on

harsh dawn
#

where do i buy these

dreamy bluff
#

apprentice kit from excavating as it says or market. the crafting parts is from npc in city or market

trail hawk
#

you can buy kits on market, or find them in excavating maps

#

crafting parts you craft or buy from market

rose wren
#

both market or gather like they said

harsh dawn
dreamy bluff
#

i believe the tool crafting part is from the proccessor marchant (the little yingyang symbol top right. this screenshot is from voldis)

#

you need rocks and wood to craft it from the npc i believe not 100% sure

restive shard
#

how do i facet correctly?

rose wren
#

rng

vast oriole
#

you pray

livid fossil
#

rng

#

trust me i have no done it properly yet

restive shard
#

really??? i thought there was a way to maximize reward over risk

vast oriole
#

not really, its rng at the end of the day

#

can use a calculator but its still no guarantee of a good stone

restive shard
#

dang okay

livid fossil
#

so true

dim adder
#

every way to get stronger in this game is rng (besides leveling up)

bold geyser
#

really should use the calc though it's your best bet

Most of the information linked there will be helpful for you

i am still insanely confused rotatingskullmoment

#

they dont want to read allat they said

heady hollow

well theyre gonna need to

#

unless u want to read it all ursaelf

#

and then explain it to them

shut pasture
#

Well...tough, unfortunately.

#

Lol

heady hollow
#

this game is alot of reading and guides when ur starting out

shut pasture
#

This game throws a lot at you, especially if you use a Powerpass

heady hollow
#

any mmo is

shut pasture

These are the best resources players have when starting out and they are kept up to date

lofty torrent

#

Right, but I’m assuming you run windows.

#

Either way, just the way it is. Your hardware could use an upgrade. shruge

heady hollow
#

well yeah, ur pc is too shit to handle lost ark and anything else at the same time shruge

fast terrace
vast oriole
#

probably your entire pc

shut pasture
timber mauve
fast terrace
#

but i still can buy new cpu and put it in my pc right ?!

vast oriole
#

not if the motherboard isnt compatible with the new cpu

#

u need to change cpu, ram, gpu and motherboard

fast terrace
shut pasture
vast oriole
#

pretty much

#

ah yeah forgot the supply

#

if you dont have a ssd, you need one too

fast terrace
shut pasture
fast terrace
shut pasture
vast oriole
#

yes but you need a new gpu

#

so a new powersupply

fast terrace
vast oriole
#

maybe you can keep your case

#

thats about it

shut pasture
#

Newer GPUs draw more power, require higher power supply

#

Not trying to force you into anything, new PCs can be expensive, but you should just be aware that you're not really going to see good performance with what you currently have.

lofty torrent
#

they want to play bdo now

vast oriole
#

i dont have very good performance and i have way better pc

shut pasture
lofty torrent
#

no

#

im not

#

they are

#

im a returning player

fast terrace
lofty torrent
#

but like i didnt get past level 50

vast oriole
#

this is on the lost ark store page
i have ''recommended'' and its okay performance, not the best not the worst

lofty torrent
#

but like i didnt get past level 50

#

before

shut pasture
#

Lost Ark isn't "grind mobs" like BDO is, its doing instanced content such as Chaos Dungeons, Guardian Raids, and Legion Raids as the endgame

#

For where they are now, if you all used the Powerpass, then you're at 1460 ilvl. I would suggest activating the Super Mokoko Express which is located at the top right corner of your screen, directly next to your minimap labeled with "Event Quest". The icon is a gift box.

lofty torrent
#

i cant use the char im using rn

#

says this

shut pasture
#

Your friends should do the same

#

If they see the same issue

lofty torrent
#

o

shut pasture
#

After you all get that activated you can start honing. Which is upgrading your gear, you get materials to do this from doing Chaos Dungeons appropriate for your ilvl, you can complete this twice per day, you can also do one Guardian Raid per day.

lofty torrent
#

also shouldnt u get like a pop up for your path

#

like theres 2 paths

shut pasture
lofty torrent
#

yeah i remember playing the super boost server

#

and i had a pop up for choosing a path

#

theres 2 for each class

vast oriole
#

yes when you click on the express and confirm you have the window that ask you what build you want to use

shut pasture
#

Each class has two Class Engravings, the Super Mokoko Express will give you access to Engraving Support which will give you a free 5x3 Engraving setup for the 3 months that the event lasts

lofty torrent
#

nvm i can choose style now

#

is surge still recommended?

vast oriole

take the one you prefer

both are good

it will be every set like that

ALSO CAN THE GAME JUST STOP AUTO SUMMONING

the game doesnt auto summon anything

lofty torrent

#

so far

#

i like death blade instant mobility

#

but reaper i think stays my favorite

obsidian valve
#

i'm tempted to try deathblade or reaper but i suck at melee lol

#

they look fun though

lofty torrent
#

soul eater is ok

vast oriole
#

i hate range dps

heady hollow
lofty torrent
#

these are my slots

#

@obsidian valve reaper is SO funnn

rose jewel
#

Only 84% naked, not good enough

heady hollow
lofty torrent
#

its just kinda "hard" cause u have to be behind enemy all the time

#

for big dmg

#

but u have moves that tp u behind them

#

so its ok

#

the amount of mobility is insane

#

i tp to boss back spam moves they face me i use the shadow form to dash back and phase through boss and do big damage move

obsidian valve
#

it's nice if you get paired with a dps that can taunt that helps with that i bet

lofty torrent
#

u dont need

#

taunt

#

because u can be behind boss

#

24/7

obsidian valve
#

i see

vast oriole
#

for sure

lofty torrent
#

its hella mobile

obsidian valve
#

like teleports?

lofty torrent
#

yeah

#

you have a dagger u can throw

obsidian valve
#

gotcha

lofty torrent
#

and if u hit it u can press again

#

to tp

obsidian valve
#

i think i've seen that before

lofty torrent
#

it runs out but in the amount of time that u get u can use a few moves

#

and then press it again

#

and then u can go shadow form

#

be invis
