i used to use them in one of the gates but i dont remember what anymore
its crazy
mightve been brel g3
more than pants
I would bring them in Brel G3 for the stagger mech and watch my boys get bopped around the arena
Good times

I've seen quite a bit Supports (or dps) blabbering sth about 50/50/20 Uptime - Can someone explain to me 1. What each of those numbers even mean, 2. how to check myself what Uptime i have?
They're refering to buff up times from dps meter. A dps meter which is not allowed in game and generally against the rules to discuss here. You'll have to look elsewhere for information
Ty, that helps as info - thought it was sth i can check with just what the game offers naturally
step 4 ban lamanya
my friend tryign to do ivory tower g2 solo mode , and i was watching deathboi video, after second stagger you throw the orb again for a destruction check and then atro and dark for maximum dmg. from then you dont throw orb till you reach 95 mech? i saw deathboi vid having 6 orbs remaining around 95 mech
Correct
You don't throw many traps in general. Typically only 3 before the final phase. Maybe a 4th if dps is low
Is it solo? In group if DMG is low you throw 1 trap, let it entirely run out. After the boss breaks free he will do a counter pattern. You can counter-stagger-throw 2 traps to do destruction
Ultimately it's probably just a practice issue. Mastering the raid patterns and being comfortable fighting at 10% hp
Tell him gl 
What's the point of not using engraving support if u're not getting a + 1 ?
there isnt

Yo, new player here, wandering how to find a good guild for newbies. I've joined a few in the last couple of days but they all seemed dead. and the beginner zones seemed dead as well which has me worried this isn't a beginner friendly game. I'm not looking for anything competitive or end gamey, just people to help with casual stuff and helping me learn, but if this is not the game for that I'd like to know sooner rather than later.
u can play endgame casually
both devs and players know that the beginning areas are not the focus of the game, there are many systems and events in place to help players skip the early game to reach endgame and start raiding
but also end game isnt "end game"
There are a lot of collectables to do, islands to complete, things to accomplish horizontally. But end game is where it's at and end game is where the social game is
Is end game hard and needs lots of time/effort and high skill level, or can a more casual gamer with middling skills still manage it?
The very peak of endgame is not casual friendly. But raids get nerfed with time, you grow stronger and the early-mid endgame raids become more trivial
Solo raids cover most of the raids available and they're very casual friendly. You can tackle them at your own pace
Rn out peak endgame is around ~1620-1630 while solo covers up to 1600
Ok, so I could probs get to the current content and still manage stuff up till the newest of the new? I mostly just want to do the story stuff and the collectables. I'm enjoying the story and the basic combat I've seen so far. I just got real worried about how dead its all seemed so far. I'm used to mmorpgs like ESO and FFXIV which have super busy beginner zones.
Yeah ESO and FF14 are much different in how the game is structured. Lost Ark at it's core - is a raiding game. There is essentially nothing outside of raiding. You can get up to 1600 yourself and solo the 'latest solo raid', but solo raids will always be '3 raids behind' the "current raid" which requires you to party up with people. But you will likely get gatekept from those raids, as no one wants to 're-prog' a raid and waste their time.

can i farm all world tree leafs in 1 location? like all gathering leafes.
or they bound to different locations
Many people in this game have mutliple characters. And each character can earn gold from 3 raids. Raids reset each week. You can earn gold from a maximum of 6 characters in your 'roster'. So most people are doing 18 raids a week. Considering this, people want to get those raids done quickly. It's not new player friendly in that regard.
You could easily play hundreds of hours doing horizontal and chilling behind endgame. If that's what you're looking for, you could find a good time to be had.
Raiding/combat is always the focus point tho
named leaves are location specific, check maxroll for what they need
Wtls that simply drop from nodes can be obtained anywhere. Some wtls require quests or special lifeskill nodes to complete
otherwise no
sound sad ..
Is the story worth putting effort into?
isnt that what u like 
If you enjoy the story. Technically speaking, it gives you a decent amount of roster exp - which is nice to have as it is a gatekeeping metric, but there are many other sources of roster exp. But you can simply use the powerpass that the game provides and skip it. Just be sure to use the powerpass on a class that you know you will like. You can always do the story on a 'alt character' if you decide too.
Considering you are brand new, doing the story may not be a bad idea as it gives you an idea of how the combat works (sort of) for the class your playing.
I love a good story, and will put an unhealthy number of hours into a game with a good one, but its sounding like thins game is not casual friendly so if the story is not great I should probs just quit now and go back to yet another bg3 run. XD
Uhhhhh, it's very long and can be kinda boring. Actually interacting with the story is pretty lame.
But after a certain point the story picks up a lot and actually gets really interesting
Like we have stated above, the game provides solo raids - an avenue for you to progress. But you will always be behind people who have started the game since it has launched. It's not impossible to be caught up to the "current raid", but you will have a hard time getting into ghroups.
Personally I had a lot of fun playing through the story for the first time despite its shortcomings
all possible with 💳

Considering your prior history is FF14, Lost Ark story pales in comparison to that MMO. The one reason why I never stuck with FF14 is the terrible combat system, and no care at all for the story. I am all about vertical progression and nothing else. But everyone is different.
I wouldn't worry yourself with stuff like being behind & gatekeeping. That's fomo to worry about when your dozens or hundreds of hours in
It's a long term game, buts it's still a game. You don't have to invest yourself whole heartily before installing the game
I'm not interested in getting into groups, I just want a fun gameplay and a good story, lots of collectables and a good social experiance is a bonus. Thats what I'm trying to find out, I don't want to sink lots of hours into something thats going to have a rubbish story and has no place for none end game raiders.
Not really. You can spend a ton of money and still get gatekept. People know a new player when they see one lol.
Yeah if you do not care for raiding, lost ark isn't for you. If that answers your question.
It quite literally has nothing outside of raiding.
There is small stuff like decorating your stronghold and collectibles, but that gets stale very quickly.
However, you may actually enjoy the raids. Before I played Lost Ark I wasn't too big into raiding, mainly PvP in other games. The raids in Lost Ark beat every other MMO on the market in my opinion. Especially with the combat it has.
do they work at lvl 0? (the engravings)
no
They do not.
i really feel like you just arent the target audience for this game
Yeah it sounds like you are not the target audience. However, I wasn't either. I was a WoW andy lol.
honestly this game also have terrible combat system, and overall boss fight design
11.2k hours later.. lol
Lost ark has a great story / lore. I stand by that to this day.
no
at item level 1250 you get 5x3 for free
That's quite a hot take. Most people would agree Lost Ark has the best combat system in the entire MMO genre. Some may say Black Desert is better, but Lost Ark is easily Top 3.
i can't use the recipes to level up?
Clearly. I didn’t have to scroll up much to find another intelligent post from this person.

you can, but its overidden by engraving support
if people seen only korea style mmo, then mb its best they are seen :D
but when you seen better made mmos, its just pure trash
engraving support gives you 5x3 for free
no thinking required
5 engravings at level 3
Can you name a MMO that has a better combat system? I'm curious. This is the first KRMMO I have played outside of Aion.
If you dislike it that’s fine but how exactly is that relevant to anything in here atm?
kk

why arent you using powerpass
It isn't lol
every west made mmo, wow, swtor, gw2, many others

i didn't want to skip everything
See I kinda liked black desert story and combat wise, but found the community really toxic so never got super into it.
this is like the tutorial
it doesnt teach you anything
case in point you had to come here to ask about engravings
Man said Star Wars The Old Republic has a better combat system than Lost Ark.
Saying that should be illegal.
lmao fair
Every community has toxic players my dude. That’s just humans being humans. I seriously recommend giving the game a shot. The story is slow at the beginning but it picks up quickly and is very interesting. You said you play for story - so I can garuntee you will enjoy it.
iam dead serious, like LA drop void zone on you and you not able to just walk out of it .. you need movement skill
its a mega trash design
can he sue you if he dont enjoy it
Honestly every MMO is toxic. Well, the internet itself is. Can't really run away from that. But as a casual player you don't have to really interact with anyone since the game introduced Solo Raids somewhat recently.
ty, thats what I needed to know. Story over everything else for me, so if its got people who will say its good I'll listen.
Even if you dislike the story, I highly doubt you will dislike the raids. They are super fun.
keep in mind you will have to raid to see the full story
and those aions, black deserts and other lineage styled grindfests not a real games.
its more like a second job
later continents are locked behind progression

bro says that as he plays lost ark
If it's a mega trash design why are you playing the game then? And also what you said is not true.
the irony
It's a ARPG. You can spacebar telegraphs in this game - akin to 'immunity frames' in soulslike games. Except you still take damage. But it prevents knockback/stuns.
i like some parts of la, and i dont play currently at endgame.
and i think we offtopin now, better stop it :)
did they make it so u have to do quests to use your stronghold flute on new accounts?
If you use a powerpass you go talk to the guy in Luterra that gives it, it has always worked that way
You have always had to unlock the stronghold
Thank you all who answered me. I'm gonna keep playing, sounds like the story is good and theres plenty to do even if I don't care about end game raids. 
no i did that, the new (alts) on that account canno go to stronghold
i thought i had to do the quest to get stronghold on the first alt (bug with the power pass) but the third alt needs to do the quest too
Alts have to get to prideholm and unlock music
yeah im in tne city i've done this before
u can usually do it where u get the horse
now u cannot
ok we good
u can go to stronghold when u get song of escape
Assuming you have already unlocked the stronghold and have the music on your roster, alts only need to unlock music in general to use it
its only 1 minute longer
Not when you get the horse. It's a bit after that.
It has always been song of escape = stronghold song unlock.
hmmm i see
wheres the fastest place to do excavating? 
@sly spear 15 min
dunno i like punika's secret ruins or whatever it's called. the one where the two armies are fighting each other
Returnee noobie here can someone suggest me a pve beginner friendly class?
Honing on an alt, do the rates go down if I hone using the epic gear from punika (meaning I should get leg from legion raids)? or are the rates the same
same
This game is pve only, i would suggest NOT going as support, everything else is fine.
If you want easier - get some which doesn't care where it attacks from, so not a fighter.
Souleater is great example of strong independent class.
Got it, souleater looks very nice too
And im surprised support isn't a go to for beginners
most MMO I played encourages support for beginners since late game raids doesnt take newbie dps classes
It was before, now beginners do solo raids instead of being gatekept to oblivion in party finder, and playing support in solo raid is kinda stupid isnt it?
i did 4 dps 2 supports on my main account, just do that
check this out dude explains how to plau it
is there any way to purchase crystals without using steam wallet?
How do I unlock the level 1 engraving for 5x3+1?
On engraving support - you dont, its available only if you do build by hand - not worth it for new player.
There two cyrstals, red one - you buy from $, purple one - you buy from gold (there also another purple one which is given for twitch, that one is pretty much useless)
the yellow-ish one is what i want to buy. i want to buy a skin i like, but steam wallet is killing the process for me with adding funds and other bs.
btw where can i buy gold?
currency exchange
Its not recommended for new player, but in currency excharge
can't buy gold with real life money?
i see
but steam wallet process i hate. can't it just be simple buy just swiping and done "whalla!"
Or sell gold for purple one - thats how f2p people get acess to it.
They sell gold to people who buy it.
craft maps?
Enter secret dungeons
probably
yikes
or drop from mobs thing
The maps from rift pieces and stronghold craft
idk how it works for that low of a content
i guess ill never get this stupid card
Why do you even bother with chuo?
You can also hunt and enter that secret dungeon
i have it, so i guess its auto completes somehow
its in pacs
so you can get it there
pacs?
Tu pacs
oh yea
as in
here i think
uncompletable now
and buy in the end
F
the content was removed from the game
rip
there no natural drops of 320 ilvl secret maps anymore?
theres no secret maps anymore
they didnt delete the maps, just removed the drops
welp ty for informing me
hihi, I've recently returned to game and the T3 honing is a little confusing for me on an old 1400 char
Is this something that I'm still meant to upgrade? I saw there's some 1250 gear that you can craft and some 1390 gear in Legion Commander Gear Exchange
he's literally in the packs
its chaotic chuo right?
you hone this until 1490, crafting relic gear along the way
?
how do you think i have 230 of those packs
u get 10 weekly
tyvm!
well yea, open pack - get lucky or get bent
idk what hard to understand lol
hard to understand
"im not getting it"
when we speaking about packs
cos its objectively wrong
thats not a secret map
i was speaking ab chuo
skill issue, both - not speaking correctly and not dropping chuo 
then there no way i guess.
hiya i'm a relatively new player trying to make some gold (500 atm) for knowledge transfer but the early dungeons and raids are just.. empty, nobody's queued so i can't do what i need to do is there a way to make gold on your own without having to hope for people? please talk to me like i'm 5
question 1: why are you doing KTs if you have no gold generation
What is your main char item level
I dont kt, cos its waste of gold.
I kt because im lazy
because i got bored of the class i chose, i'm not trying to min max nothing
might just end up buying some gold for it just thought i'd ask if there's anything else i can do
yeh
Then you can get gold from your "main"
Doing raids
And kt your next char
But i wouldnt
We get a pp next month
Again
so i should wait for that instead you think
I would
Get gold on your char for now
keep in mind it will take a long time for a new player to bring a char from vern to relevant ilvl
might wanna just wait for another pp

gotcha, yeah it seems like the better option now that i know
guys can i use mokoko pass on my sorc to get it to 1600?
what does teh pass say? 🙂
don't know, not in home nor game i heard abt it
If you mean express, u can use it on a 1520 character
If you didnt use it before yet
yes i never used it and my sorc is 1530 i think so it'd work?
Yes
xoxo
can someone explain what is "Vitality flip" ?
If you drop low - you get buff which when expires would flip your hp.
low -> buff -> flip hp (if was low -> high - if was high -> low)
so if you pot when hp drops when buff expires you go back low
but if you dont pot - you get healed for free
basically greed and die line - reroll.
ok ty
Full moon harvester or night's edge? Which is more beginner friendly
what does said beginner like
But spec switch for you is free, so doesnt matter
how tf do i do the announcement cube guide?
Why are npcs moving at like 20 fps

just want to check this quick, sorry peeps
depends what you talking about, mostly optimisation tech
i can enter pvp without going to the proving ground entry?
what is adventure island?
ok ty
there is daily rotating island with rewards
its under alt + q
no not alt + q
alt h
yea there
does adventure island give gold from the mysterious chest? i don't see any gold of the rewards on the events' preview
Is the patch for tier 4 still a long way off?
They have rotating random rewards
if first icon shows gold coins - it would be gold
average twice per week
excuse me, this just dropped, could this be worth something?
The only way to get lvl8 event gems is it being the character you mokoko expressed right
that sucks. getting gold is so hard in this game. i have all the items to hone my gear above 1580 to go to kurzan, but it requires gold cost to upgrade armor. pathetic
Your goal is not to get kurzan, is to do bosess
but yea it is what it is.
for some bosses i'm too high on ilvl to get some gold rewards. pathetic
you have to be higher than the required level, but not too high. like come one...!
cant u do breal G1-4, clown kayengel?
I think those give gold
also lifeskilling seem to give a decent amount of gold
at 1580 you can get gold from Kayangel and all of the legion raids up to akkan
Plenty of gold to get tbh
Solo Valtan-Vykas-Clow cause aint no groups for it anymore, group Brel and Kayangel, solo Akkan cause nobody gonna take you from my experience.
Thats 12600 gold per 1580 char assuming you only clear Akkan's G1
Other than ya lifeskill or gem selling + adventure islands
I'm a noob and I did valtan, vykas and brel G1-G3
And I was happy with the gold I got xD
Next reset I will try clown
what i craft with this? https://i.imgur.com/5Aslnq7.png
anyone have link to result?
free feast in your stronghold
20-minute buff that increases your stats
i keep dying 😆
how do you have the mats to craft Akkan gear but keep dying on Brel and Kayangel 
Have u just been completing Akkan G1 the past 3 months or wut
i cant take it with me to eat "outside" ? :D
yeah mb, I'm confusing the two types of food
nope you can only get it from the stronghold
same xD
that's how you learn
never did valtan, vykas or brel EVER before
what's that? all i did was getting ancient gear and i've been honing them using the event quest
welcome. this video shows the major mechanics to valtan legion raid in lost ark. it's aimed towards new and returning players who have never done the raid before. my main goal is to show you how to resolve the more obscure mechanics and leave you to figure out the patterns and the more obvious stuff on your own. vaykas is next so stay tuned for ...
Oh you got the free Akkan one
I watched these xD
Fairs
solo mode in 5 min
and then just tried and learned a little more and managed to finish valtan, vykas and breal G1-G3
still too hard, man. these bosses be clapping my cheeks like i'm garbage 
i'll never know how to life skill
even the guides on yt require einstein level iq to understand
what?
really? i saw the folks doing other complicated stuff
I just go to a lake, press G and fish xD
shouldn't you learn fishing first?
I mean then you can craft stuff with it to sell and that's more complicate but if you have free time just go to a fishing spot press G or go around pressing G on the plants
And then sell those on the market, it some gold even if not a lot
that's how I made some gold, pressed a button to fish, got many fish
and then just sold on auction house
you sell fish on the auction house just like that and get gold that easy?
MArket not auction house
🤔 aren't you a funny guy? i'm gonna try this now
a funny guy? lmao
btw you talk, yes 😆
alt - y, bottom right there's add item, then go to the storage tab of the inventory, stronghold & t. skills, and scroll down, you have the stuff u can sell there
like for example I was selling these
How is the slayer class? Is she literally just the male version of berserker or something
slayer is the female version of berserker, their abilities are similar but their play styles aren't really the same
doing solo akkan g2, last mech about weak point and counters.
seems i counter all clones that appear(there like 6 of them?), and do cast thirian each 2 counters.
but boss anyway heal itself back to 30 bars... what i doing wrong?
i manage to kill him after bring it back to 0 and 2 phase of same counters, but as i understand it should be done without heal to 30 bars ..?
No, in normal mode that’s a wipe. (Or was, dunno if that changed)
Are you using your weak point skills and casting destro?
A tip is to go to 0x with thirain up also
Would someone tell me which auto dismantle options i should have?
almost dont use skills, no time. constant counters, as i do it solo.
to be more precise i do 1 tirian pre counter, as siderial meter is full when it starts.
so overall amount of thirians like 4 - 5 not sure about exact amount
If you mean for chaos, generally you want to dismantle Relic or Ancient(1540+) below, 80 quality below, and depending on what stat you need; you untick the one you need, like crit, Swift and spec being the most used
Oh. Are you throwing corrosive?
Hmm I don’t know if corro might be more effective than destro
Maybe? In normal with 4 people throwing destro and 2 alternating corro it takes at most 3 thirains
Can I just skip all these side quests to speedrun the beginning or do they have importance
if you're trying to progress u can skip them for now, but i would try to do the arkesia tour for the additional bonuses they have
Only some have some importance like Beatrice's to receive your awakening, you can always do it later
Arkesia tour? Is that an event or something
I think that's the horizontal content express event, gives you heaps of stuff that you'll need later on
yeah it'll help you build up ur account and will be useful for all ur characters
she should be in trixion
mm actually idk haven't done that quest in a hot minute
can you revisit field bosses more than once a day to get the adventure tome items
no, they dont drop anything
How is demonic impulse right now? her demon form looks really good
No you can legit just hit counters and thrian to clear the check
Its pretty light and corro is only used for team mode because you need more destruction
guys every day i only got 20 rest rather 40 and for some reason i have 30 rest bonus im confused can someone help me to understand?
means you only did one out of two chaos's
i didn't
play what you want/is fun to you
thats the issue
oh
even with 100 resonance i only get 20 rest bonus
Every chaos can use 20. Every skipped gains 10
Math says some day you skipped one.
Or ran it during reset
Or skip another
that... is how it works
you get 10 per unran chaos

so if you run 1 you get 10 the next day
thats normal?
if you run both you get 0
no?
if you run none you get 20
i was getting 40 every 100 resonance for my alts
you
and my main
no you didnt
becuase you are

why would i know
that is how it has worked since the game was released

you dont necessarily need to lie about it, might just misremembering or whatever. but the way you described it is the way it works correctly. run 1 chaos today and tomorrow youre at 40/100 rested
buddy it doesnt matter what you think you did
i know every 50 resonance gives 20 rest
that is how it works
no it doesnt LOL
i hate to break it to you
but you are misremebering
where do i take the daring fish to sell it? which merchant?
voldis
does anyone know where i can find the quest Twiliht hill?
u were right... i really misremember
where in voldis? i type merchant on the screen, went to the food one, but still couldn't trade/sell it
World Tree Leaf #108 → Fish in Sage's Tower until you obtain
Daring Fish, which you should exchange at the Wandering Merchant Gudis for
Rainbow Bait before it expires. This item starts the quest Rainbow Light Gift Bag which rewards
Rainbow Fish. The fish contains the Leaf.
i see. ty
How long Is campaign? Im playing 9h And im only 26 lvl.

Lvl 50 was around 20 hours, I have no idea past that
that's if you shift G everything
If you want to watch/read all the story and do all the side quests I could easily see 100h
it's an mmo. campaign is forever. every few months or so new locations on the world map are released to continue the story.
or continents
Im mean to 50 lvl...
should be 20 ish
maybe 30
maybe more if you're slow
Will there be a point where my shadowhunter is just basically always in demon form?
Ohh and I assume demon form duration can be increased?
Is Worth reading quests oř story Is not interesting?
Yes, with specialisation
Went to read the guide to be sure i dont misinfo xD

I mean if you like the lore, sure
Ohh nice
how do you actually change song on ur stronghold
There is a jukebox decoration (gramophone/record player looking thing) you can place and change it that way. Have to have songs unlocked.
How do i revoke trusted status?
Revoke it? For what purpose?

man wants to play the game on hard mode 
I'm not like the other girls
lol
thx
are class engraving books used in t4 ?
no
ok so no point in buying legendary class engraving books now i guess
Can you customize how your demon form look? Shadowhunter
there's a skin for it, but only the one skin so far
3 'transform skins in the shop, cost blue crystals
but no, you cant customize more than that
Aww
Does NM and HM boss have the same def? I know HM has more hp but I’m not sure about def
if u wanna enjoy all important videos as first story play it will take little longer for sure, but while i started play i really fully enjoyed it. game have great story and cutscenes so its allways great to see it 🙂 (final fantasy lover here thats why) 😄
im a story hater
does anyone know if i upgrade my ability stone to lv 3, does the cost get subtracted when i upgrade to lv 4?
yes it does
oh ok nice, thanks
which server is better? elpon-arcturus-gienah-ratik-ortuus
hum, no?
they hurt more and more hp
but u do same dmg
doesnt matter
which one is more popular
most things r region wide
ppl dont interact with each other outside raids
They're all connected to each other so it doesn't matter unless you're looking to see other people around you for what ever reason
so i cant trade items or gold with my friends?
if they are on your server you can
they arent
then join their server

unless they arent on eu
then you cant do any of those regardkess what you pick
or do you have an existing char that you have powerpassed
should i hone without books from 1610-1620
doesnt the event provide still?
why wouldnt you
unless you mean you want to buy
none event char
or actually can you even buy them
i was wondering if it was more worth to buy
or just raw hone it
not mokoko express
oh i used those
on another char
and they are bound now
actually... should wait, somewhere in this month they releasing something
You can get those books if you do echidna hm
Ya
Git gud
which one was it again
Yuge, hadnt thought of it
There really isn’t any special gimmick to it iirc
I gotta time sotp the fear at the beggining right

You can spacebar the fear
yu have to space bar into the fear attack
Oh
darks and atro can help too
Is there a channel or role or something to be pinged for traveling merchants ?
NA East by the way
you can also cloack it, or crow taunt it
lots of way to cheese him
I did it lets go, cheers lads
i just spacebar'd him to do it correctly
Proper learning
poggers in chat
:poggers:
#events-merchant-boss , not really reliable
its easy to check if you're in game now
quick question, I am really enjoying Breaker right now (Asura), but all my playtime in Lost Ark has been as Back Attacker, 1 or 2 Hit Master class. Do you Frontal Attack gigachads, know every boss pattern by heart or is it something you kinda learn with muscle memory, and constant repetition of the same fights? Having a hard time to dodge some of the normal patterns, because I never had to, and because of the nature of Breaker's Z, I would love to know when is my time to shine
also merchants are per server
do.. you not know every boss pattern as a back attacker?
you still need to learn them to know what makes the boss spin
but yes it is a different learning process as a front attacker, just need to limit test what can be tanked with x and what needs to be sidestepped
I mean, I wouldn't say I know all the normal patters, and as a back attacker, or front attacker, sometimes the boss doesn't spin, and when the boss doesnt spin, the back attacker is bing chilling, whilst someone like a breaker needs to dodge (maybe not so much for destroyers and gunlancers)
Should I use that pass if im new to game, or is better to go through first time?
Do you mean through the story
You can still learn the game after powerpassing, plenty of room to fail and learn
If you mean story, can always create a 2nd char and play the story on that one
I'd use it, they're rare enough that you should probably take advantage of it
Just dont forget that powerpass will expire on oct 9
Saves a lot of hassle
I thought choosing the super purple here could potentially swap the levels of EE ally enhancement, instead it moved one node from EE to AE
anyone know the phrasing of the other super purple that would do what I described?
Hey everyone. I'm thinking of starting Lost Ark but I'm curious about something. How is content variety in this game? Both PvE and PvP. Because I played Guild Wars 2 before and I loved how I could always find things to and different PvE contents. How is Lost Ark in this content?
Nope, PvP is a little niche community almost no one does it
Entire game revolves around the raids
I like PvE more so it's not a problem for me. But when you say raids. Do we always do same content?
The endgame is doing multiple raids per week on multiple characters.
game main content is group raiding
Its a korean mmo so yeah, pretty much
No open world contents like wold boss etc?
there r but they arent like what u experience before
You got daily world bosses or legions which is sort of the same
But it's always the same thing
There is, it's probably not like you think... It's a thinfg that just gets instakilled
Theres world boss but its like 3 times a week
So not much variety either
its not like lendary world boss unquie where u require like 50people
I'll try out the game but feel like it's not for me 😄
its heavily grinding daily
Lost Ark will be 4th mmo game I'll download this week
Just couldn't find something suits me
progression gear see pin, thats how it be
What was the other 3 mmo
ESO
BDO
Albion
All those mmo are grinding games so you went and tested 3 mmo that do the same thing.
Might want to try different direction
Then
But is there even any mmorpg that doesn't require grinding?
Gw2 is not grinding
No gear grinding
I think gw2 is probably more up your alley if you’re not looking for grinding gear mmo
I played gw2 for 4-5 years
Actually I don't have a problem with grinding. My problem is variety of content
wow has most content of any mmo"rpg"
wow/ff14 is basically only thing on the market
everything else is shortterm/low pop/very niche/cashgrab genre
Go play and help blizzard make more bad games
lol
is not a bad game - if you're a dadgamer with limited hours per week
If they didn't mess up New World, I loved that game
If you paid for that half baked pos they called full release
ags changed development of new world in pre alpha like 2-3 times
and people who were(are?) working on new world had basically no clue about mmo genre
They could still listen to player but they just ignored. Took them months, years to half fix a bug
people were crying for mounts for like 2 years, now they got them(behind a paid xpac)
I think that's what killed the game mostly. People were hyped when they heard about mounts. But when we saw it's paid just lost hype again
Let’s move non lost ark related discussion elsewhere such as #general-chat
For T4, do we still need our regular engravings after Ark Passive ? I'm wanting to swap class engraving in T4
Combat yes, not class
I see, so I have to change my current build correct ? And my current ability stone is also important for t4 correct ?
yes
Okay, thank you
books, not accessories
accessories dont have engravings on t4, its an entirely new thing
books tho, yes you need them
start saving for relic books
I see, I was about to build a whole new build with accessories haha thank you
We need books for all engravings now correct ? not just 2
for all non class ones yes
can we ban this lady for misinfo
Alright, thanks for the help all !
the best unhelper of the server smh
he talked about engravings, not accessories
yeah i didnt think

mind reading is hard
is there any other way to get the pet enhancement token other than the pet sitter chest?
no
boo... alright ty
just rng if you get 1-10 tokens
or 0...
just stocks up and keep opening chest you will get them eventually
So I been running sonoval since it came out with my main at least couple times a weeks and now the frog with 2 characters couple times aweek, yet still haven't got legendary galewind, is that normal or is something off?
feel like it's been a really long time
It took me 3 kills to get it while it took my friend over 150 kills to get it. Just rng
i got it on my first sonavel 
The galewind drops are linked to kills, not the soul. So you can infinite farm them for galewind if you really want to.
i had 3 chars doing sonavel + main on frog, before i got mine
ok i keep going then thanks
i'm 50% sure it got changed to soul only
im starting to think maybe im missing the one from the vairgry's test section but pretty sure I had one legendary galewind before sonoval came out
Press ctrl + d and look it up
just hope ur luck is on honing instead of rune drop maybe
@timber mauvei did nothing pooped up what menu is it? maybe i rebinded the keys
suppose to open codex
ok thanks that's acutally what im looking for, to confirm, seem i dont have the one from purification level 1, keep grinding then lol
how many eyes does echidna hm give?
pins
at least 2

codex? yes
hi what do i do after i join the momoko express thing
i kinda dont wanna sit in starter zone spamming dungeons
idk how tf to leave the starting area either, last time i got into a boat i sunk so i would like to know how i can explore without getting into areas where the mobs arent too low level and arent too high levle either
super new would rlly like some help :3
you need to hone
"starter dungeon" doesnt help us know where you are, what does the map say
oh the map doeasnt say shit i cleared like 1 chaos dung and doesnt give me any main quest, or exploration quest. i pretty much have only cleared "before you leave" journey quest
we are given all the materials to hone right?

lv 13
item level 13 is impossible, is that combat level
i followed quickstart upt until growth and guider section part
of course it is, anyway you're barely starting the game i guess
expect to one shot everything for some hours/days
say +13 lv1520 t3
yess!
time to follow your class guide, set up a build and start doing raids, real raids
guardian raid is just a daily, easy enough to do
chaos dungeon is where you get a lot of materials to progress
it's your daily homework, guardian raids as well (skippable if you can't find a group, not the end of the world if you don't do them)
what class are you
i dont mind homerwork but what about exploration side? im playting with a friend and kind of just want to learn the ropes passively without jumping straight in learning all th technical stuff
the repear one
wait no its the scythe one
for exploration....
for exploration
we just want to consume content
cause theres lifeskilling and stuff? misewell do all of it
you either do everything manually (some people find it extremely mind numbing, boring af, but some people like it) or do arkesia tour, which does most of the side content in a couple hours
priority is on the arkesia tour right
very
but again, it completes most horizontal stuff
idk if you both are casual and just wanna run around the world
what does it mean by horizontal
run around tbh, want to consume all content
we just v stimulus hungry
that or get most stuff to make a viable build and tackle what the game actually offers, what's good, raids
well
well i really want that but im very overloaded and all the guides ive looked at just a bunch of yap yap considering my inventory is full and idk wtf to throw out
funny enough
there is a guide to help with that
its not perfect, it doesnt go for every single item you get, but its a good start
in short, this game offers good combat and good raids, the rest is very meh at best, not saying its useless or boring for everyone, its just the reality, if you really just wanna run around doing stuff because you have fun running around doing stuff, press N and try to fill the adventurer's tome
man i been trying to put this shit off but u making it very unavoidable
there are also guides for that if you need help with some stuff coz its not free
its a chore for me because my gf wants me to explain everything to her and im also new so thats why i wanted to go exploration route
so perfect build for class.... sit in the triport and do all the available raids and dailies
stuck in one town mannnn
sea content, islands, adventurer's tome, life skilling, towers, daily chores (chaos dungeon, guardian raid, una tasks and probably reputations linked to them)
you used a ticket to skip to end game, so no more early story, you gotta hone (upgrade) for the next one (and to also unlock more raids)
we did a chaos raid but it felty like we just loaded intoi a maplestory instance since we one shot everything and take like 0 damage
is it alweays like that...?
it's not meant to be hard
whats the hard ones?
it's just blasting enemies to get basic materials for honing
Legion Raids
which by the way you can't enter duo
either solo or full group of 8 (or 4)
is there an auto fill for that?
so i jkust sit in queue
there is, but literally no one enters like that
or do i need to look for lf party boards (idk)
im assuming this is very repepetive right
so do daily for honing mats, theres not a main quest im supposed to follow correct?
there was, but that's just to unlock higher daily chores and raids
and you skipped it all with the powerpass
so i log into triport, do my shit and log off, its really frustrating being in a single place when i know theres boats and shit im allowed to explore but there is really no guide/direction
again
you literally skipped 80% of the current story
you had to sail here and there between continents if you didn't use the pass
but... that's it
talk, do quests, kill things, beat some dungeon bosses, watch cool cutscenes, read stuff
the game doesn't explain much, the newbie experience is not the best
it's a niche korean theme park mmo, the combat and bosses are top tier, that's what it offers, the rest of the activities are either liked or hated
and again
you can go into solo raids aswell. there should be a few good hours of fun beating valtan+vykas+clown
if you wanna go out and explore for the funsies, feel free to do so, there are a lot of islands you can enter and explore (if you did the arkesia tour you probably already skipped a lot of those as well btw)
but right now, the game provides you with all the basic stuff to go and try your first raids
that's what the guides are for, coz game doesnt explain anything
the floor dificulty of the game for raids is actually higher than most mmos out there, one mistake can (not always) lead to a direct wipe, mechanics exist, but they are fun and you can always go and try the thing whenever you want in SOLO mode
so all i need to worry about rn is just honing to makem y weapon stronger so i can have the gear score to enter the harder dungeons right?
man
get mats, attempt hone hone, maybe fail a lot of times and eventually the pity bar fills and you get a 100% chance next hone
hows the social content like everyones fucking sitting around and local chat is dead as fuck
you never lose progression, you never break your gear, you always get something
what social content :D
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
people use discord for coms
how do i gewt that 8 man thing team for the legion
100% try to get in a friendly guild/group/static or whatever if you want to socially interact
you can pug
aka get random people in
but that's a hit or miss
first of all and as i already said, difficulty is high, people dont invite newbies a lot because you 100% will cause the raid to wipe due to not knowing the fight
that's why you always try to get into a learning party for the first time or times
and for that we got discords specialized for that (dont expect miracles, with solo raids out early raids are kinda unpopulated)
?lfg
We have lfgroup and lfstatic channels in each of our region categories (requires region role).

ok so the DISCORDS ok that makes sense now
press alt Q and you open the menu for most stuff
press legion raids then bottom right
party finder
you can see whatever group is there
but again
dont do that, get into a learning group
discords are your best bet
pugs are really.... nto very trustworthy
anything above akkan is not to bad. but below akkan raid, you will discover alot of people who are either new or trolling and chat can be toxic
ok i just did this it says we can solo mode it?
for valtan
understood
yes, solo is usually best so you can get a taste of raids
gives the same materials as normal mode, and just a bit less gold
gold is important for a lot of stuff, including honing starting from 1540
so
oh. so doesant looking for an 8 mnan sound redundant then
i can just be antisocial
1000000% recommend to go and try solo mode raids
yep, at least for the early ones
solo raids are all raids but the latest 3
The newest contents don’t have a solo mode.
tweaking irl rn
so not 100% antisocial, you gotta socialize if you wanna get into end end game
but that's a long way to go
so you both can just enjoy trying to beat Valtan for a while
because god knows it will take a while to beat
at least hours
can u give me recommendations for content i can do rn for us so we dont start hating this game
other than the raids
i dont want to go back to league
im begging
the raids/combat is what is carrying this whole game
sad reality
not 100% forced if you somehow get into a learning group
but you gotta go a bit out of your way and get into the international or your region's learning discord
lowkey sad that i cant 2 man
see if people wanna raid and then just invite bodies around
and if youre lucky a teacher can get in
its either solo (1) or group (8/4)
imma try what i can and keep my expectations realistics cause theres no way anyone fuck wit 2 random noobs who spent 20 minutes trying to find the merchant who does faceting
ohhh mann
you can always just come and ask stuff here
yipeee
can u tell me a good place i can go to because if im stuck in this triport anywhere for any more time im gonna lose it
like we found the forest area at triport but theres no way im going to explroee an entire foest area that sounds so boring
yes im rank 1 griefer
once a day you can go and do a fall guys run in the event island
its a quick one but at least something different
ok theres trrhis alarm thing on my top left
hould i pay any attention to it
because i wouldnt know how to get to any of those boss/mobs/time events anyways
hmm
if i leave triport can i tp back if i travel like a million islands away
i can tp anywhere right
press M, bottom middle and to the left
Ocean Liner
instant teleport to continents for silver
not to islands tho, except the event island
this is goated
alright thank god
is there like a maintown every vibes at
and actually uses local chat
no one talks but
XDDDDDD
either feiton, elgacia, voldis or south kurzan
i would almost say if you go sailing. that area chat is always full of people saying stuff during prime time
area chat is either continental or all the sea
is there any content to do if i go to thsoe areas
or just afk sit
and is it financially viable to travel around frequently through continents
like does it have all the items/merchants ill need to progress
all towns have 99% the same npcs
so no need to travel just because
the only reason to travel is for una tasks
no i have to leave
one of the daily stuff to get a bit of mats to hone
the town we spawned at is so ass
the game grpahjcis super cancer when u havbe everyones effects enabled
can i just turn all of them off im worried i might mss the support abilities if i turn them all off
check settings, yes
you can select to only see support's effects
otherwise its a visual clusterfuck
you can also hide guild names, titles, your pet and everyone else's pets
just to be clear, do you want to aquire trusted status or to remove it after you already have it
oh, edited message
Basically what signum asked. Do you want it removed or are you trying to get it?
Oh I see
both of us got jebaited
do i rlly need to spend money to get it
no, wait for paper's message
It just takes time, that is all. Thats all the info we have on it. Now in a coming update it will no longer be a requirement to get the free power pass (unless that update has already happened)
it already happened yes, to my understanding
It also never required paying anyway
Yes.
we don't really know the specific details, but that may help, and even if it didn't, that's just extra security for yourself
You should have that on your Steam account anyway
Right
Cause i got banned on my main before with accuse of Botting while all i did was handmade kekw
I dont even know how to botting in this game knowing it has high level anticheat security
Are you able to do g1/g2 nm thaemine, then switch to hm g3?
high level anticheat is... not true, however you were one of the unfortunate ones that got banned for literally no reason because their anti cheat system and their AI doesnt work for sht
i believe you appealed the ban?
I did and they declined.
yeah classic case of their ia being insufferable and useless
🗿
So theyre telling me its wrong to excavate and do chaos dungeon everyday.
I must like do some other thing in a week?
Kekw
No party want me
