[latent night]

thank you and gn

[wary lintel]

can you?

[vast oriole]

Ofc

[tender depot]

What’s the reason why I can’t craft this ?

[fallen jasper]

you don't have one thing

[wary lintel]

that's a material , u can get it from exca or market

[fallen jasper]

[tender depot]

I already bought it tho

[wary lintel]

you bought the recipe

not the item

[tender depot]

Ohhhhh

So I need to craft the item first ? Is that how it works ?

[wary lintel]

it's a drop

can't craft the tool box

[tender depot]

Oh damn this game is too complex haha where do I get drop ?

[fallen jasper]

with exca

[wary lintel]

^

[fallen jasper]

rng drop

[tacit lichen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQqPecfADoc

bcs i have one xD

[rotund elk]

when is the new class release for kr?

[maiden locust]

@rotund elk 10 am kst

[rotund elk]

ty

[maiden locust]

its like 1-2 am for eu

[vast oriole]

Its 3 or 4 for eu usually

When maint finishes

Is it a different time for the class release?

[maiden locust]

no

[maiden locust]

well its 2 am winter time bs and 3 am when summer

i thought it was 3 am too then i googled it and said 2 am

[vast oriole]

Weird

I dont remember seeing any maint finishing at 2

I could be wrong

[maiden locust]

all i know i wont be waking up for it

there are vods for that

[distant cipher]

can someone help me with the rapport thing

i have tons of rapport chests i dont know who to use them on

[subtle helm]

Maxroll has a rapport guide that has a section at the bottom for various rewards. Focus on skill point potions and adventure tomb rewards that progress your character

[distant cipher]

ty

also

anyway to get the 10 remaining blue gems

without spending money?

[subtle helm]

You can buy blue crystals with ingame gold

[distant cipher]

Dont I need the crystal things to pay for the trade?

or smth like that

[subtle helm]

Are you thinking of Pheons? That's a completely different currency

[distant cipher]

these ones

[subtle helm]

Royal crystals are what you get when you pay real cash.

Blue crystals are what you get when you buy using ingame gold

You can change Royal crystals into blue crystals via various means, but not the other way around

[latent night]

when you're leveling ur alts do you just play the game from the very beginning or is there a specific way of going about it?

[distant cipher]

i see, ty

seems like i need more gold

can i use bound gold for exchanging to blue gems?

[subtle helm]

Most people create alts when the game runs an event that gives you a powerpass that boosts a new character to a certain point in the story.

Some people level a character from scratch but its a very slow and time inefficient way of doing it

[wary lintel]

you can do that, wait for events that push them with free passes and reward events or directly buy with $ the pass

[subtle helm]

I don't think so, no

[distant cipher]

sheesh, i wanna sell my skins but putting them up is 1k gold for 1 day and no one buys them so it ends up a waste

[latent night]

i see thank you

[wary lintel]

u get the gold back if they dont sell

[distant cipher]

oh really

[vast oriole]

Yes

[distant cipher]

is building the astray worth it?

[balmy plank]

Estoque is bestoque. Astray Is the fastest ship if you level it up and get the correct crew members. Do it because you want to not because it's "worth it"

[latent night]

can any of you explain how the gear transfer thing works

[distant cipher]

yeah so far i was upgrading estoque

[trail hawk]

farm tokens in new raid, go to merchant to craft new item

go to honing npc, press transfer button

transfer the old item stage to new item

ie, you do that at 1490 for brel gear, 1580 for akkan, 1640 for t4, 1660 for better t4

[balmy plank]

^^ old gear with low base ilvl that's leveled up turns into new gear with a higher base ilvl not leveled up. You maintain ilvl while the gear level resets so you can keep honing

[latent night]

i chose the wrong armor set since my guide uses a different one. it was a set given from using the event pass

is it fine to just upgrade the gear i have or do i need to use the gear transfer

[balmy plank]

You can change set bonus freely

[trail hawk]

you can use

[latent night]

where do i find that

[trail hawk]

if you dont have that button yet, complete a guide for it

its in your P

[balmy plank]

You have to upgrade your gear to certain points before you have to gear transfer

[vast oriole]

J > guide tab in quest > gear set conversion quest

[latent night]

i see it in my guide tab

thank you a lot

[vast oriole]

Good you didnt use search button

[serene vine]

is weapon power 480, additional dmg 1.60 on a relic neckless worth anything

[trail hawk]

euc

you can probably alone do this or

[serene vine]

ok

[ancient light]

theres no way to upgrade accesories to ancient right you just drop them like in t3?

[shy chasm]

ye just like t3

[serene vine]

should i advance hone my weapon to +10 its already +6

going pity on my weapon once before and i dont feel lucky honing

[balmy plank]

Generally, +16 then adv 1-10

+19 then 11-20

[serene vine]

im + 12 rn

[balmy plank]

I would continue normal honing for now

[serene vine]

would you reccomend finishing to 1660?

[balmy plank]

Yea

[serene vine]

so when i get to 1660 the new ancient gear has new lvls?

does my advanced honing get reset

[balmy plank]

No, its just unlocks honing 21-25 & gives more ark passive points

Youll be able to use ark passive gearing then

[serene vine]

o k

[serene vine]

but i feel like itll be so much more expensive

one hone is better than 4 lvls?

[balmy plank]

Adv honing isnt cheap

[serene vine]

it isnt true, but those destruction stone prices and hitting pity so many times

ig ill try it and hopefully not pity

[balmy plank]

1st pic is normal honing to +16. 2nd pic is adv 1-10

[serene vine]

ok

what site is that?

[balmy plank]

Adv honing is also only the equivelant of 2 hones compared to normal honings 6

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator

[serene vine]

DUDE

NO way

i just honed my weapon

and like 4 tapped it

[balmy plank]

[serene vine]

thanks for the advice

you saved my gold

-200k gold today

[balmy plank]

[eager gate]

where to get this? I'm forgot to get this items

[minor briar]

unobtainable now

[eager gate]

demn, I want a Costume

[minor briar]

use silver

[livid fossil]

Am i balthor to early in eye mechanism in g1 theamine

Is that why I not doing enough dmg to him

[shy chasm]

you balthor at 35

if you have your hyper awakening up you should be able to oneshot the boss

[livid fossil]

So I have to 35

I think it was still charging

But I try again

[shy chasm]

the only way it isnt up is if you arent using your t skill

or you killed the boss already

[livid fossil]

Ah

Maybe to little t skills

[trail hawk]

why baltor at x35, didnt you see the eyes where to go?

[manic quarry]

You'd end up wasting time caring about that and boss enrages

This man is still stuck at killneza

For god knows how long

[livid fossil]

Guys last night i got her down to little over half the bar so know i just need to hit her more while in balthor

She was pretty much dead if I hit her more b4 my health bar went down

[manic quarry]

Do you have darks on you at least. Should help you with a little more damage squeeze, unless you're already using those

[livid fossil]

I had dark maybe forget to hit her with it

[mossy bolt]

Are u using atros

[manic quarry]

Then you should at least throw a dark on her after you enter Balthorr buff on 34/35

And atros yeah

[trail hawk]

can i switch this warning off?

[manic quarry]

No

It will keep asking you

Since so many can't read or make cognitive decisions before opening it and regretting it

[mossy bolt]

Also steal someones feast

Or something

[mossy bolt]

Are u trying to hit every skill as a back attack?

[jagged zinc]

um

killineza has 3b hp

you quite literally only need to do 1/3rd of her hp before your hyper awakening straight up kills her

damage should never be an issue

[mossy bolt]

U need just under 10m dps to clear solo mode if my math is correct

If ur hyper awakening isnt up by the time u do the last stagget

Ur not pressing buttons enough

Hyper awakening alone does like half her hp

Without any vids or logs hard to determine

What ur doing wrong

[manic quarry]

Should probably stream the run

[mossy bolt]

My assumption is they run away from the boss after hitting it with a skill

Can RE get interrupted?

Never played db in my life

[serene vine]

how common are the harvest boxes from fate embers, out of my last 10 ive gotten 9 small chests

[mossy bolt]

share, my artist needs thos

@livid fossil are u able to stream on discord?

[livid fossil]

WHEN YOU V INSTEAS OF ALT V AND YOU TOSS YOUR MOUSE AT EH WALL AND HE PRPRB WOULD HAVE DIED

[mossy bolt]

I changed my hyper to mouse4

[livid fossil]

i have baslik mouse

not sure button 4 is

[mossy bolt]

One of the thumb buttons

I made this gif for a friend who kept regular awakening instead of hyper when she had it on alt+v

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1295526376719384576/1324516712678424718/aiyahthumb1-ezgif.com-crop.gif

[cyan kiln]

I have G on thumb button.

Guarding with mouse made sense to me.

[manic quarry]

Block/Guard is on my spacebar

[mossy bolt]

Im a G for guard enjoyer

I should change my reapers Z into mouse5

[cyan kiln]

I don’t use the keyboard, I have a left hand controller. And I’m kind of running out of binds.

[mossy bolt]

Playing poe2 and lost ark got my put stuff in storage all fkd up

[cyan kiln]

This weird thing

[mossy bolt]

Hella weird

[manic quarry]

I have no idea how I'd play with that unless it's in VR

[cyan kiln]

The thumbstick is great for wasd movement in Poe tho

[mossy bolt]

I have a superlite

[livid fossil]

mom i know what i want for xmas a giant boot mouse \

[cyan kiln]

It sits on the desk, just key binds. Instead of a keyboard.

[mossy bolt]

I wonder if its possible to play lost ark with a racing setup

Wheel and pedals

[livid fossil]

stering weel movement

where you going

[cyan kiln]

Foot pedal for hyper

[manic quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/peppo-gif-27351067

[mossy bolt]

Gas one to hyper

Brakes is spacebar

Gearshift for skills

Horn for click

[cyan kiln]

Or even better, this for hyper

[manic quarry]

What ilvl was Argos again

It's so pre1415

[mossy bolt]

1370

All 3

Gates

I remember when all 3 gates had different ilvls

Dumbest thing ever

[solemn zinc]

i cant access to the lost ark lfg link

[manic quarry]

What

[solemn zinc]

tell me is expirated

[paper walrus]

they ran out of boosts, you're gonna have to ask someone in the server to invite you

wait

eu?

[solemn zinc]

oh ok so i dont do argos and i go for the next raid instant N

?*

[paper walrus]

skip argos

[solemn zinc]

yeah

[paper walrus]

eu works

[mossy bolt]

If ur account has trusted status(dont ask how to get it, u just get it or u dont) u get a power pass which puts u at 1540

Unless u actually want to do the story and all

[solemn zinc]

for kuzan sud ?

[paper walrus]

isnt the pp sk

[mossy bolt]

Yes for south kurzan

[paper walrus]

sk pp is 1585

[mossy bolt]

Could be 1580 i dunno i just clicked buttons

[solemn zinc]

is not gonna be too much for me a newbie ?

[mossy bolt]

It is a lot

But its a lot of stuff vs dead content

Id choose a lot of stuff

[solemn zinc]

ok ok im gonna do that thx for the help guys

[mossy bolt]

At 1580(or whatever the pass gives)

U have access to solo raids

The earlier ones are dead content also but atleast u can solo it and not wait for other ppl

If u want to experience the fight/learn about ur char

[steady nova]

hey i was inactive for over a year, now i wanna restart...
do i lose my level if i activate my chars on an other server?

[balmy plank]

If you start on a new server yes. Itll be like starting over from scratch

[steady nova]

ok, so i should reactiavte my chars on the server, where i have the highest level already?

[balmy plank]

Probably, youll have a little bit of a head start. You can powerpass one of your characters to 1580 if you wanted

[steady nova]

i think my chars are pretty trash by todays standard, highest one was 1450
anny suggestions?

[balmy plank]

I would continue from your old server, use the powerpass on your favorite character and learn again as if you were starting over anyone

There are a lot of things to do and learn when you get back into it

There is also an express event you can catch the tail end of for some freebies

[steady nova]

thanks a lot!
Think i will just start a new level 1 char, since i dont know the game anymore..

how long can i put my old chars back into storage?

[balmy plank]

Once the universal char storage is empty itll go away. Theyre likely there because of the merge awhile back

?merge

[buoyant dock]

The servers have recently merged. This has moved around some items, but they are not lost.
Step 1. Reclaim your characters from the Universal Storage on the character select screen.
Step 2. Login and claim your cards on the Universal Storage tab on the card menu using ALT+C.
Step 3. Reclaim your roster storage by using ESC and opening Universal Storage.
Step 4. Re-equip your cards as they were reset and must be re-equipped.

You are all good to go!
For more information on the merge read this.
If you are looking for visuals than checkout the pins in ⁠#lost-ark-help.

[balmy plank]

Its not really a thing to move chars in and out of freely

[paper walrus]

is there a specific reason why you want to restart

[steady nova]

cause it was an amazing game back in the day, i think - was just burnt out 😄

[magic grove]

is this available on KR vs

[balmy plank]

No

[magic grove]

is the current cap 92 enlightment points

[balmy plank]

Yes

The new karma system that comes with brel 2.0 lets you upgrade the ap tress for more points too

[cinder tide]

currently have relic weapon and will be able to upgrade to brel weapon tomorrow after reset, are you able to gear transfer quality from relic gear to brel gear? just wanna know if i should be holding armor and weapon stones until akkan gear or not

[paper walrus]

you can transfer quality

[lavish mortar]

quality automatically transfers when you gear transfer yes

[prime dew]

Is there a Freja's Island for the event? I cant seem to find it when sailing

[livid fossil]

isnt just event icon

[balmy plank]

No, there is a minigame you can access from cities

This is verns

[prime dew]

Oh so the vendor is just from the event menu?

[balmy plank]

yea

[prime dew]

Ahh so you can't get like the afro and stuff anymore

and mokoko trail

[balmy plank]

No

[prime dew]

schucks

[compact cliff]

Hello! Planning to start on playing,is it a good time to do so in terms of events and so?

[prime dew]

is the Toto ice castle once daily per roster?

[shy chasm]

yes

[balmy plank]

Yea

[compact cliff]

Thanks

[candid lake]

What una's do you guys do for leaps?

All I know is the one is sage's tower is p fast

[balmy plank]

Voldis sage tower, S Kurzan & mokoko night market

I think the 3 min waiting one in elgacia is 1 extra leap as another option

[candid lake]

which s kurzan one?

the selfie one?

[balmy plank]

Only one that gives leaps if you seach by location

[candid lake]

i sadly compelteled the thing for that

or i mean the reputation

I'm forced to do the selfies now ;;

[balmy plank]

Do the pose option

[candid lake]

o

[rose jewel]

Actually 50/50, we have a pass that gets you to early endgame but getting it is another story, in a month (almost 2) we'll get an actual very good event for newbies to start and upgrade your char, besides a new class, the current one is a bit lackluster, helps but.... Not as much as we'd like

But if you can just play a bit, gather resources etc it would be ideal, then you could have 2 chars at endgame, more raids to play

[compact cliff]

Why is it another story? Thanks for helping! But yeah i guess i will start now and then when that event starts get another alt

[rose jewel]

Because of the goddam "trusted status"

We don't know how to get it

And you may be lucky and get it in days or unlucky and wait months without it

[compact cliff]

Well if its from account time,when LA launched i played it a bit xD

[rose jewel]

That doesn't matter

It changed

[mossy bolt]

Its random af

I lost trusted on my mokoko acc 3 times

Got it back within 2-7days

[rose jewel]

The thing that people have said kind of helps but we have no actual data of is linking your Amazon and steam accounts

But yeah it's a roulette

[compact cliff]

yeah i have it on my steam account

[rose jewel]

Games fun anyway, a bit of a slog early on but combat is cool

No dude, not that trusted

Lost ark trusted

[compact cliff]

Yeah i know i just said i did link it to my steam account,now if it works or not i will see when it downloads the full game xD

Thanks for helping

[solar echo]

Is there a way to have ark passive on in one preset and no ark passive in another preset?

[rose jewel]

No

[solar echo]

okey

[rose jewel]

It's a downgrade anyway why would you want that

[vast oriole]

Just use ark passive for chaos, betrayal is shit

[solar echo]

In solo mode arkpassive is faster even at 1640 for me

Because of 50% HA and boss having no hp

[rose jewel]

Uh huh...

[cursive oxide]

Hm, whats the meta for elixir choice on Souleater nights edge?

[cursive oxide]

The guide above says they both perform similarly

[balmy plank]

I'd try picking up the souleater tag from id:customize and asking there

idk anything about her myself

[candid lake]

hmm if someone's base hyper does 1.5b, and if they get the node for hyper awk, it can do 44% of thaemine's hp bar in solo mode

and basically almost kill echidna solo mode in phase 2

[rose jewel]

baby mode

[livid fossil]

[rose jewel]

Just keep trying

Watch guide again, watch your own gameplay, figure what you are doing wrong, fix it, done

You picked a hard class to do content with

[livid fossil]

Sig we got close once she was down to half bar

[rose jewel]

Yeah I read

[livid fossil]

It called not playing baby classes

I challenge my self

If i wanted ez i go soul eater

Like 95% of players

[rose jewel]

My SE is benched

So, not me

[thorny beacon]

how many hours before kr gets wild soul?

[manic quarry]

[maiden locust]

okay now what u going to do is type in google 10 am kst to (your timezone)

i know its hard but im sure you can do it

you got this

[livid fossil]

lol

I should’ve hyped and then i died cause I was trying to until basement

Hold it

We should be able to tag in another class then I could play both summoning classes at the same time

[trail hawk]

still not done with g1, ajajajaj

[humble matrix]

Man something is wrong, you are overgeared for solo thaemine in terms of ilvl but still can't finish g1. I'm starting to think you got wrong engravings, accessories, tripods and gems because something ain't right

[heady oar]

is worth buying orehas from mari shop?

[paper walrus]

do the math yourself

depends on bc rate and oreha price

[shy chasm]

how do you die before 50x

if your 1640 literally nothing does dmg to you

the only thing that even does remotely that much dmg is the grab that launches you into the air and slams you back down

[solar echo]

Can you sell t4 bracelets after rolling them like accessories?

[livid fossil]

Just answered it I.got slammed once which rips the free life off you

[candid lake]

oh the blue one shot

or essentially a one shot

[livid fossil]

Yea was not paying attention to her move and darted in and rip life

Red one I usually can avoid and go in the back of her attck after the stuff leaves

[fiery zinc]

Did we need to do any quest to access Brel Hard Raid releasing soon?

[shy chasm]

Yes

[valid helm]

Purple quest in ABIDOOOOOSSSSSS

[livid fossil]

i swear to cheese lord that i hit the dam crtl c for balthor must have slipped hit diffeent button

bout to tos this mouse

[gusty kettle]

[fiery zinc]

You're gonna Terms Of Service that mouse!?

https://tenor.com/view/eww-oh-god-god-no-smh-terrible-gif-23016518

[humble matrix]

I thought you were kidding when you said you'll finish this gate in 2026 but if you keep this up that might happen

[livid fossil]

just quick question she does a whole board tele graph on the eyes mech is there safe soft

spot

[gusty kettle]

read the maxroll guide

or watch a video

shouldnt take multiple days to do g1

[latent night]

are there specific una task's that people do or is it just based on what you need at the moment?

[vast oriole]

shards or leaps

depending what you need

[rose jewel]

progression for reputations if you need something important from there, otherwise what arna said

[latent night]

fs thank you

[manic quarry]

It's crazy dude

[trail hawk]

maybe maybe db just isnt the right class for him

[vast oriole]

its pretty obvious

[lavish mortar]

yes

usualy you should be timing balthorr to line up with that, so balthorr shield tanks it for you and you don't have to worry

[gusty kettle]

probably anticheat issue

try rebooting

verify files after that

then come back, if those dont work might be something else

[humble matrix]

@lavish mortar Is a non back attack slayer viable or is playing that way too much of a dps loss? I have a friend who likes playing slayer but hates back attack and he wondering if non back attack slayer is viable, he predator slayer btw

[gusty kettle]

yes u lose way too much dps not using ambush master and back attacking

nexus T3 archive probably mentions this in the notes

go play hitmaster

if thats ur style maybe try out mayhem zerker, basically same class but isnt punished much for hitting from front

[lavish mortar]

uh if you can achieve like 80% back attack rate it's just worse than going normal build
if you're doing solo mode stuff and don't wanna deal, go hallu+kbw instead of entro+amb
but i'd just go back attack, pred has 2x wild rush, space bar, and the leap on volcanic to help get to back, it's very easy to get good back attack uptime

[gusty kettle]

also ive heard mayhem zerker feels pretty decent now, lot of improvements in t4

[lavish mortar]

eh mayhem is moreso a burst class than a consistent dps imo

[minor briar]

always has been but that’s not a bad thing

[gusty kettle]

point is its same skills more or less with only a few back attack skills and no ambush master

[hollow belfry]

Even 60% back attack is better

[humble matrix]

Okay, thank you both for your responses

[minor briar]

if u wanna play hit master slayer, maybe pistoleer would fit

gameplay wise

[hollow belfry]

80% back attack is almost perfect considering how bad people rotate the boss and you sometimes just send skills front to not just stop dps

[minor briar]

or DI

[gusty kettle]

pred slayer's problem comes with the boss flying away more than turning

but hes playing punisher

u can kinda get away with some front attack just not during ur burst as punisher slayer

[humble matrix]

Predator actually

[gusty kettle]

ic, well then yeah u are full swift u should have no issues following bosses tail compared to others

it will be rough on 4man fights compared to 8man tho

like GR, u will probably have a harder time sitting on boss's tail

[humble matrix]

It's my friend and yeah that's what I told him but he relatively new so he doesn't like the whole back attack thing, his main is reflux and alt is slayer so I guess he got used to the hitmaster style

I think being able to stay at the back of the boss for most of the fight is good practice itself

[gusty kettle]

theres plenty of other back attack classes that are slow and are more bursty that are way harder to play than pred, so idk

pinnacle glaiv, striker, deadeye, eso wd, shock scrap

[hollow belfry]

Both demonic class engravings can be non positional fun

[gusty kettle]

u mean SH?

gunslinger also feels way better in T4 with T skill

went from 0 burst to some burst and the downtime u used to have is almost non existant

[humble matrix]

It is pretty decent now yeah

[gusty kettle]

salv was awful dps

"additional damage" is a really poor multiplier

you get 30% from your weapon from quality so it stacks additively, also why "Wedge" on bracelet kinda sucks

yep

[humble matrix]

@gusty kettle is your profile picture from Okami?

[gusty kettle]

it's a Moogle from final fantasy + god of war/kratos combo

[humble matrix]

Lol looking at it now yeah that's a moogle with kratos colors

I dig it

[gusty kettle]

[lapis knot]

Does anyone know what was mentioned about the stylebook?

[minor briar]

“releasing in august”

[rose jewel]

some people had that issue when updating windows, rollback the latest update, if youre not on w11 then no idea

[livid fossil]

K

[vast oriole]

''they still working on it''

= we will never get it

[mellow mauve]

real

[rose jewel]

they need to censor even more things

because the modern audience (of twitter, that dont even play the game) will get very upset if they dont censor it

[cyan kiln]

The modern audience of law in all regions they publish in?

[wet dagger]

can you use dark grenades on guardians like sonavel? he doesnt have a bar anywhere that shows the timer on it

[manic quarry]

You can, just gotta start counting off the top of your head the uptime of it

[mellow mountain]

hi everyone! i'm currently having an issue, when i crete a lobby and try to invite someon, i get the message: 'Part/Raid Group creation and invite is not possible because the "Allow entry to other while joining" setting is off.' If i turn on the setting to do other dungeons while in the lobby, i can send the invite, but when someon accepts it, they don't join the lobby, instead we end up in a party outisde the lobby.
I've checked all settings, can't find the way to fix it. Did this happen to anyone before?

[hollow anchor]

why do some pets have border and others dont?

[bold geyser]

think that means it's a real-money pet?

[hollow anchor]

all were free from events though

[bold geyser]

unsure 😦

[elder hornet]

yo . evening everyone

[jagged zinc]

you can't right click invite

[elder hornet]

can we find here 2 guys didnt do aiger with thier supp this week ? we need 2 supps

[jagged zinc]

use the invite tool in party finder

[vast oriole]

surely on a wednesday few hours before reset

suuuurely

[elder hornet]

maybe we can find 2 nice supps : )

anyway not right channel for that

[elder hornet]

bro last raid list was 12 hours ago thats why icame here hhhhhhhhhhh

[vast oriole]

its still not the right channel for it here

[bold geyser]

any reason not to use the road to hyper on my main if i'm way behind (1620)? if the following event is expected to be a way bigger jump or some such, to spread the love

[elder hornet]

someone joind nice we need 1 supp and we r good to go

thanks arna

[vast oriole]

surely its because you wrote here

(no)

[elder hornet]

yes

bring us 1 more i love u bro/sis

btw doesnt have to be supp apply even if u r dps

[humble matrix]

Yeah I'd say put it on your main who's 1620, only 2 weeks left for the event too

[bold geyser]

right so it's sprint mode, but if there was some super good thing i could use on a 1600 that i'd get anyway using the next event on my 1620 i at least wanted to know 😄

thanks

ah, the books are super wasted, but thats okay 😄

[compact cliff]

Is there any progression guide here on discord or website i can follow?

[mellow mauve]

check pins

[humble matrix]

Not enough books to meaningfully impact the amount it would've taken to hone to 1620, this is a road event which isn't as great as a hyper express

[drifting cairn]

Hi all - returning player here. Could somebody please point me in the right direction of some information on the path of least resistance to 1540 for the Road to Hyper. I can't seem to find anything online. Currently 1480 with the Shrieking Hallucinations set on my Machinist.

Machinist Community Guide

This information was created by community members · Jan 8, 2025, 2:43 AM

[gusty kettle]

thats for build guide

recommendation would be to run whatever raids you're comfortable with, do chaos dungeon and unas

you could also use the free powerpass if you're trusted

[rose jewel]

using the powerpass is the no brainer, as it puts you all the way to 1585 asap (assuming you got it, aka you have a trusted status account), other than that just doing your dailies/weeklies and slowly transitioning onto brelshaza gear getting mats from the raid and the solo shop, will take a bit to get full armor set

[vast oriole]

be careful with linking the t4 guide

you need to tell them to click on the t3 link

either top or bottom document

[rose jewel]

btw the "shrek hallucination" armor, the name doesnt matter much, the rarity is the important part (in this case it should be relic)

[gusty kettle]

[drifting cairn]

I have about 1k hours invested in the game in total, but I have nothing prompting me for a Powerpass when I logged in. Is this something I just need to wait patiently for to pop up upon returning for a few days ?

[gusty kettle]

it shows up in the character select menu under characters

[rose jewel]

it doesnt matter if you had 10k previously, you left for a good while and thus the game doesnt consider you trusted anymore

[drifting cairn]

Ohhh ok, gotcha

[rose jewel]

stupid ass convoluted system

fucking amazon and their stupid ideas

[mellow mauve]

[gusty kettle]

[drifting cairn]

So without the Powerpass, I am going to have to jump into the raids and go from there then?

[rose jewel]

uhh yesn't

solo raids to be more specific

no one does old raids as a group anymore unless for the memes or because people are nice and they help you (tldr no one)

[chrome pond]

is there a list of best stats on the t4 accessories for support and dps?

[gusty kettle]

some ppl do kaya for wings, or ivory for pet but they wouldnt take a new player

[rose jewel]

pins

[drifting cairn]

Do the solo raids give a basic learning scenario for players new to the encounters? I have only done busses before for Vykas and etc

[gusty kettle]

they're similar to normal mode but not exactly

[analog dew]

They have most of the same mechanics, often more forgiving

[rose jewel]

bus? eww

[chrome pond]

ty

[rose jewel]

dont buy busses, all the way to echidna you have solo raids

which is 2 (3 soonish) raids lacking solo, aka real endgame

[drifting cairn]

Yeah that seems to be the play for someone returning like myself

[rose jewel]

just be sure to set up your character right and in you go

[gusty kettle]

safer to do solo mode anyway, wont get stuck on gate 2 and miss out on gold

[rose jewel]

combat stats, gems, engraves, card set, skills, tripods

all that can be found on your class guide on lostark.nexus

just be sure to click on the "TIER 3 ARCHIVE" link

[drifting cairn]

Are engraving stones just not a thing anymore? I saw a thing where you get 5 Lv3 engravings for free? Is that just a perminant thing that I can use indefinitely?

[rose jewel]

perma yes

[gusty kettle]

they are a thing but not needed

[mellow mauve]

still are

[gusty kettle]

engraving support is all you need now

[mellow mauve]

you just don't worry about stones till you are moving into ark passive

[rose jewel]

we will get a massive rework on all that in like a month, but as of now, get any accessory with the right combat stat as high quality as possible, engraves matter not

engrave helper overwrites all engraves accessories and stone have

[drifting cairn]

Thank you all for your help. I'm gonna try to ease back in and sort through all of this stuff

[wet dagger]

how come my boy kharmine dont got a legion raid

[gusty kettle]

uy want lore?

[wet dagger]

you play igniter?

[gusty kettle]

go watch the post quest for g4 thaemine

[wet dagger]

for raids is atropine better or stimulant

[gusty kettle]

kharmine and kakul have a talk after u defeat thaemine g4. Seem to have a history together relating to Regulus and why the world is the way it is

[wet dagger]

o

never did g4 thaemine

[gusty kettle]

can youtube

[wet dagger]

why g4 not in solo

[analog dew]

its hardmode only

[silver rain]

atro . for stim you'd be gated by cd anyway if you want to burst back to back

[gusty kettle]

one theory is kharmine is a shard of zosma the old chaos god

could also be the last of the Haal race created by Antares who was banishe

think Zosma was defeated by Kazeros god of the abyss, and his "shards" were thrown to Arkesia and its why Feiton is messed up

[south lintel]

is today the last day for the special +4k royal crystal packs?

[humble matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/mindblown-omg-triggered-gif-13206512461464450436

[silver rain]

ye

[delicate kernel]

Those packs are not available in my region. 🤣

No one here can answer if using vpn to buy those can get you banned. I'm too afraid to try. 🤣

[narrow quartz]

did you buy those founder pack

[rose jewel]

he's playing illegally, i doubt it

[livid fossil]

so my pr0blem is the last mech i toss balthor and i trying to get rid of shield but she moving all over the place and then it wears off and i die

[balmy plank]

If youre having trouble you could always thirain and do the x35 safe spot mech

[mellow mauve]

you shouldn't be having an issue removing the shield at 1640

[balmy plank]

If your 1640, dark bomb+atro or hyper awaken

[livid fossil]

i did tossed bALTHOR the grenade

[lavish mortar]

I've never had her move so much I can't hit when I balthorr 🤔
Weirdge

[narrow quartz]

she often just jump out and jump back, use HA at the start point, it almost hit her in my case

[fervent aspen]

some guilds post in discords with details on language etc, could also be in their description in the guild search

in my experience the guild system isnt the best way to find ppl to chat with, its more just for bloodstone farm and cube boxes

[humble matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/мда-gif-15258606377206180081

[gusty kettle]

found best luck just meeting people in game and joining random discords

[wet dagger]

for igniter sorc elixers on pants whats the 2nd one i get after additional damage?

is it crit or attack power?

[gusty kettle]

you cant get both crit and additional damage

[wet dagger]

the maxroll guide says "master" for elixers but doesnt specify

o

[gusty kettle]

if you get a roll that is "pants" no other "pants" rolls can show up anymore

so yes, you're goal would be Attack Power > Strength = Weapon Power

[wet dagger]

do the splendid elixers that arnt event ones (the ones that cost gold) is the gold price listed per tap?

[gusty kettle]

yes

think its like 70g or 140g forget atm

[split urchin]

I thought does the Artillerist have more armor than the Sharpshooter? Thanks. I think the archer can move out of the way more of attacks.

[gusty kettle]

artillerist has built in shields in wheelchair mode, same with other transform classes

[split urchin]

Is wheelchair mode only when he uses his special turret placement attack? Thanks.

[wet dagger]

so for elixer on sorc the best helm/glove combo is just master + attack power?

[gusty kettle]

yep

but weapon power and intelligence also decent

[mellow mauve]

base tankiness only by a small amount

[pallid panther]

If they are giving los 24 for new express for new players, igniter people that already have balthorr / azena will need 20 cards for los 30 ?

[wet dagger]

omg

[delicate kernel]

Nope. Too afraid to try. There has to be a reason why its not available on other region. So trying to beat the system using vpn is too risky. Might be the payment.

[mellow mauve]

15? if you have wei done, 20 if you don't

[delicate kernel]

What?

[pallid panther]

Sure but they didnt gave wei

So if u can buy extra weis and save

Like 5 card, its 5 less yeah

[mellow mauve]

wandering trader have been spawning weis, so should be almost done or working your way their

[pallid panther]

That should be possible also

Like save weis

If u dont have it maxed

but the card and not use

buy*

[gusty kettle]

no point saving cards u can just buy from wandering merchants

[mellow mauve]

you don't get any weis from the hyper express and they just give you the set for los 18 and then 24 from milestones

[pallid panther]

Oh they gave u kadans instead of weis

that change stuffs

Good to know anyway.

Pretty possible to ignite accounts get los 30 if prep a bit.

[mellow mauve]

yeah, if they haven't used any selects and been lucky with los cards from packs/drops and wei spawns

they should be getting los 30 with minimal selects used on the next express

[narrow quartz]

i know some teammates use vpn on Steam web to buy founder pack (not for cheaper or what). They are now still active. None can confirm, but i mean it worked
i dont think AGS ban their cash supporter when they try to donate for the game somehow

[delicate kernel]

I remember, I read something about buying a founders pack, got a refund, but the account got banned permanently.

[delicate kernel]

He's from SEA

[shy chasm]

Well then ask support

It's against tos to change your region so probably ask if you can given your circumstance

[livid fossil]

How much time before we get booted out for maintenance

[shy chasm]

It's instant

[compact cliff]

Im between gienah and ratik to start,is there any recommendation of one towards the other?

[shy chasm]

Any doesn't matter

[livid fossil]

I mean what is the time that boot happen

Was 3

[shy chasm]

#announcements

[compact cliff]

And i got event powerpass should i use it on this character im going to create?

[shy chasm]

Yes

[compact cliff]

Thanks

I read somewhere (old post) that if i use powerpass i will lost roster quest rewards and that i should complete them first on one character and then use the powerpass,is this still true?

[shy chasm]

What rewards

They don't give anything of value

[compact cliff]

the roster wide rewards (stats,skillpoints,etc)

[shy chasm]

You said roster quest

That and what you just said now are two diff things

And no it doesn't

[mellow mauve]

you gets those regardless if you did it manually or through a powerpass

[shy chasm]

You have arkessia tour now that skips 90% of your horizontal that you have to do anyways

[compact cliff]

Alright thanks

[wet dagger]

which of these 2 is better?

[mellow mauve]

top

[minor briar]

should be a channel like #euc-guild-recruitment in this server, and might have diff language guilds

[solemn condor]

idk what to choose between these 2

[gusty kettle]

crafting cost reduction ez

divide great crafting chance by 20 and that's the equivilent to cost reduction

1 cost reduction = 20 great crafting chance

this is because great crafting chance is base 5%, so if you have +2% then its 2% of 5%

[solemn condor]

i guess i'll use these then

[gusty kettle]

i put nin over nia but thats fine

depends what ur other side looks like

10% special cost reduction max

[gusty kettle]

yeah you get nothing out of nia

already capped

also, theres a 1% cost reduction u can use instead of the top left

painting of an angel

[solemn condor]

without nia i'll have 9% no?

[gusty kettle]

i have 10% special

16% crafting cost reduction

you get 8% from left and 2% from Payla outfit

[vocal plinth]

im level 53/1238 just started playing again for the first time since 2022. i cant find any matches for these older guardian raids :/ i honestly am very turned around idk where to go or what to do. i remember doing the guardian and abyss raids every day when i was grinding. trying to go back to what i knew before but no lobbies

[gusty kettle]

old GR arent done anymore, just skip em unless you can solo

[solemn condor]

._.

[vocal plinth]

hmm okay ty. im on punika, any tips on how to progress the main story?

or what to grind to level up my gear

[gusty kettle]

should tell you in the quest log, probably need to get to a certain ilvl or transfer gear to T3

pins tell u progression info i think

just run chaos dungeons and do unas daily/weekly, possibly do tower

obviously do raids

[gusty kettle]

seeing 15% crafting cost reduction for you, could do 1% better with my setup

[solemn condor]

what about sh energy xD

[gusty kettle]

mine shows 8.5%, idk what ur at

[vocal plinth]

this chaos dungeon im on doesnt seem to be populated. can i solo it?

[gusty kettle]

yes everybody solos chaos dungeons

ppl also solo lower end cubes

dont queue up for those or u'll be sitting in queue for a decade

[gusty kettle]

up to you if u think spending 6 extra gold is worth over saving 9 energy

[livid fossil]

she had silver of life with than shewnet berzerak lol god damit

so close

left

life'

[gusty kettle]

i think u need some1 to watch you do the fight and help

u been doing gate 1 thaemine for like a week now

[livid fossil]

you d ont want to see bad db play

[lavish mortar]

If you're berserking solo thae as a 1640... there's something wrong

[lavish mortar]

Wdym I've watched myself play it

[livid fossil]

you dont wnat to see another one

[humble matrix]

I offered to do it, he didn't respond to me xD

[lavish mortar]

Sure I do

[gusty kettle]

i just cant tell if ur serious

[lavish mortar]

It'll remind me why i dropped it

[gusty kettle]

something seems wrong

was helping some1 solo brel as bard the other day with a busted nightmare set and no crit neck he still soloed g4 brel

thaemine should be miles easier than that as a real dps

[lavish mortar]

It's probably a dps uptime problem
Thae g1 has be known to be.... fidgety to say the least

[humble matrix]

I did the same for a mokoko sorc, he's now 1640 and cleared g1 and g2 thaemine, progging g3 now

Power Lich on G1 Thaemine for more than a week now

[gusty kettle]

maybe he needs to use wei early on

[humble matrix]

Can't clear g2 ivory tower solo on 1650 deathblade, something ain't adding up

[lavish mortar]

My koko friends 1610 sorc could do g1-g2
And uh.. they forget to press ignite half the time

[humble matrix]

@livid fossil Send pics of your gear, gems, cards, engravings so we can help

[gusty kettle]

just start up a stream and show me

something aint adding up

[humble matrix]

Or that, even better xD

[candid pelican]

whats the drop rate for these pots?

[gusty kettle]

pretty sure some1 asked this earlier, but maybe it was a diff pot

and it seemed like guaranteed 100% chance depending on something

[candid pelican]

Hmmm do I just do all the guardians then?

is there an updated chart for these or something

[gusty kettle]

for all i know its related to the GR questline

cant really remember

[livid fossil]

well i had taken out RE engraving lol might help right

[humble matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/blu-zushi-black-and-white-emotes-gif-13851867247344432124

[gusty kettle]

yeah u wonder why ppl asking to help u

[livid fossil]

started to like ad t4 engraving

[gusty kettle]

start a stream show me ur gear at least

dont gotta show me the fight

[humble matrix]

I hope you don't have ark passive enabled

[livid fossil]

nooo;'

stil need boss potion ans una

and gear

[icy frost]

Do we have increased combat exp (like your character experience level to get from 60 to 70) as an event?

[gusty kettle]

dont think so

u get some from stronghold research

oh u mean in the future?

[abstract dirge]

i had a blackout in the middle of echidna g2 solo mode and now i cant reenter, anyone know a fix ?

[icy frost]

well rn or in the future

[gusty kettle]

if u didnt get a ticket in the mail then ur screwed. In the past these could show up in ur mail a day later, but idk about now

[icy frost]

I was thinking on swipe clean the whole map off missions ton all my characters to push 70 faster, but if we get an xp event that might be better

[abstract dirge]

oof, thanks for the info. rip 8k gold

[abstract dirge]

does it only show up if you come back within 10 min ?

[gusty kettle]

the general strategy most ppl used was to run old cubes, do story quests like rowen, or low level raids (some don't give XP if you're too high lvl I think like Valtan)

i think u get combat XP if ur in a group tho for like kayangel

usually you wait until level 69 to do this

[olive saddle]

anyone wanna screenshare so they can help me with my elixers please

[gusty kettle]

can try, but im not amazing at it

was better at old elixirs

[olive saddle]

thank you

[timber mauve]

Heads up, don’t post the same message in multiple chats. It can get you flagged as a bot. @olive saddle

[olive saddle]

sorry

[gusty kettle]

share ur screen

[humble matrix]

Okay good

[open spindle]

Anyone know how the LOS24 event works on lost ark for KR? Did they get unawakened cards or does the event just bump you to LOS24 so if you're already at that, it doesnt' do anything for you?

[pallid panther]

I think they straight up give you that so u lose the progress yeah, should hold the cards and packs.

[open spindle]

What about lostwind cliffs for us support mains?

[pallid panther]

I was debating with icy earlier.

The trick here should be to save the cards, like not use then, also for the selectors

Ignite characters already got balthorr + azena / kharmine + delain

So it would be less card needed to max those

But yeah still a bit.

[open spindle]

Sweet!

[olive saddle]

does it take alot of compute power to play lost ark at 3440 x 1440?

[gusty kettle]

that's gonna be graphics card specific

[chrome elk]

Do we know when this is coming?

[gusty kettle]

probably feb with the wild soul class

[pallid panther]

Most likely yeah

[chrome elk]

Thank you, will save all my cardpacks then

[pallid panther]

Last week of mokoko bootcamp event.

Hope mokokos still able to do stuff until february

[gusty kettle]

event ends in 7 days, so u will see less ppl accepting mokokos soon

[maiden locust]

Today im trying out the new builddd

[maiden locust]

Event ends=mokoko leaf goes away too no?

[gusty kettle]

not sure, i think u have to get 1660 or maybe a certain amount of time played

the mokoko leaf does give you some benefits but its a mark of a newer player

[chrome elk]

I dont have any 1660, Im not a mokoko anymore. Depends when you last played, and if you were a mokoko back then I think?

[bitter mist]

well, so i'll go touch some grass cus maintenance

[lavish mortar]

It was some dumb requirements of not playing and no 1660 iirc

[gusty kettle]

yes but it does go away eventually

[maiden locust]

Tbh if i was mokoko i would do solo raids till wildsoul mokoko express then get los 24 depending on how much cards u got might even hit los 30 then do raid like that

[gusty kettle]

people will still accept mokokos if they dont seem too new

correct build/trans or rostr

[maiden locust]

I wouldnt

[lavish mortar]

Idk I have 2 120 trans chars on my koko roster and get gatekept all the time

[jade berry]

if i combine 3 dmg gems in t4 am i guaranteed a dmg gem or its still random?

[lavish mortar]

random

[pallid panther]

Its easy to get accepted as mokoko

But i mean after event ends.. f

[gusty kettle]

converting = guaranteed same, combining = random

[lavish mortar]

not for g4 which is the only thing that's fun

[pallid panther]

I mean they wont accept 1640 in general on g4.

But i agree its fun

[cyan kiln]

1640 you kinda need a carry share group

Because the 1640s of today are not the 1640s of old.

[lavish mortar]

you're not wrong, I see 1690s that can't do g4 to save their lives

[gusty kettle]

yep, newer players didn't have to deal with the difficult trek of pre T4

can get carried now, couldnt before as easily

just a massive different in power level at 1660+ for ark passive along with hyper + T skill

handed all of the engravings, soloable raids, no real pheon cost, trans/elixirs nerfed

[lavish mortar]

I just want my 21k gold and to parse in it

[gusty kettle]

cleared g4 on all 12 of my gold earners including my 1640 pally

[cyan kiln]

Tbh I have some rats where I’m pretty much just there to hyper x87. 😄

[dull leaf]

I mean if rats don't die, it should be ok. surely the group can do crit phase, right?

[cyan kiln]

I’m trying to parse that sentence.

[gusty kettle]

u kinda need enough ppl with 1660 ark passive to make it clean

the 50% hyper awaken damage bonus is very helpful

[cyan kiln]

1-2 carry is fine as long as people don’t die.

[lavish mortar]

AP don't mean much if people have less hands than a carrot

[cyan kiln]

One main one ap alt

[gusty kettle]

yeah, its more of a question of ppl trolling or dying before 4-2

4-2 should be fairly doable as long as its not all 1640s, and even then doable as long as the ppl are exp

[dull leaf]

or just dying 210x cuz they never have to do it post t4

[gusty kettle]

nowadays 4-1 is fully skipped dont even gotta counter most of the time

[cyan kiln]

Yup.

[dull leaf]

he just dies 175x if there r 2-3 1680s

[gusty kettle]

i prefer it if the 1680s hold their hyper for 4-2

4-1 is just way too easy to bother skipping

[cyan kiln]

Can push to 87 yeah

[gusty kettle]

just dont even use hyper

drop him to like x50-60 then regular awaken and atro

but yes it will be x87 stagger mech where he dies

[cyan kiln]

I came late to g4 and only learned 87 for tfm. I bet quite some people never did that counter.

[gusty kettle]

i practiced it in eclipse

[cyan kiln]

Same

[gusty kettle]

until we learned the skip

but then ppl would still die so u would have to do mech anyway

1660 groups make it a joke

[cyan kiln]

1640 all alive with hyper can still skip no?

[gusty kettle]

yes, all alive being key

[cyan kiln]

As long as they’re not all uptime builds. Need that shandi double burst.

[olive saddle]

what do u mean?

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU

[gusty kettle]

i mean the graphics card will decide if you can handle the resolution

[olive saddle]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10870H CPU @ 2.20GHz

are epics

are specs

[gusty kettle]

it isn't going to cost much CPU resources to have more resolution

[wet moss]

Well thats not completely right

[olive saddle]

do you think spics are fine for that resoution?

[gusty kettle]

i have no idea, and i dont see how it is wrong

[wet moss]

Depends on your targeted FPS an how high graphic settings you wanna play

[gusty kettle]

he said resolution, not graphics settings

[olive saddle]

well anything above 60 and probbaly max everything else but at that resoution

[final lintel]

How to obtain a lot of harmony shard fast please ?

[wet moss]

Yes i know everything matters for this …

[gusty kettle]

isnt harmony shards T1 shards

[olive saddle]

rewind do u think those specs can handle that res with all high settings?

set to qualtiy mode

[wet moss]

Handle yes but not with high fps

[gusty kettle]

you do chaos dungeons for shards, you could also buy the boxes from raids, and you can do tower... i dont think unas gives enough shards to be worth

[vast oriole]

Im pretty sure that cpu will bottleneck the gpu

[wet moss]

Not on 1440p

[vast oriole]

Yeah but lost ark is cpu heavy

[gusty kettle]

resolution is just more GPU memory to a buffer which requires better VRAM to write to

if you wanna increase the quality of the game then sure it may eat more CPU resources, but mostly ram

[olive saddle]

so im screwed?

[gusty kettle]

kinda depends if they do the model animations in CPU memory, which they probably would with an old game engine

i have no idea like i said, it sounds like you're hooking up a 2nd monitor to a laptop tho

[wet moss]

Not screwed but you will be around 60-100 fps with very low% sometimes

Which is ok but not great

[gusty kettle]

actually T1 doesnt really have raids now that i think about it

[wet moss]

1440 with high/max settings is very demanding on gpu and you add widescreen on top of it

[steady nova]

Hello 🙂

I’ve played up to Valtan Phase 1 but have been inactive for over two years now. When I stopped, I had completed the South Vern content, but everything beyond that is new to me.

My main character is at 1460, and I also have six other characters at 1350+. I haven’t used any of the new power passes or items since logging back in.

What would you recommend for a good starting point? I’m thinking about leveling a new character to ease back into the game and get familiar with everything again.

Additionally, I’m looking for a guild on the Arcturus server (preferably German/English-speaking).

Thanks in advance for your advice!

[gusty kettle]

its relatively cheap to get up to 1580, and that's where the powerpass takes you.

you won't be playing with most people until 1640, so u will likely be soloing to that point. Starting a new character is fine, but you should use the powerpass on something.

i dont have any recommendations on guilds, but there are other channels to look for them. The main thing you will be looking for is level 25+ guilds to ensure you get the best guild shop items.

if you need help with any raids or build guides, then that's easy. General progression advice is also easy.

[steady nova]

Thank you for your advice, @gusty kettle

So, you’d recommend creating two new characters—one using the powerpass and another that I level manually? My other roster characters seem pretty outdated by today’s standards, so would it make sense to consider deleting them and selling all their gear?

[gusty kettle]

theres no good reason to start over in the game

you can practice playing your characters in chaos dungeon and you are basically given free engravings so you don't need to worry about feeling weak

pick your favorite 6 characters or start a new one, play however many you like. Do raids, chaos dungeons, and unas on all of the ones you enjoy until you're in Tier 4 content 1640.

there's an express that will also help you do this quickly on 1 character.

if you make a new character you can go through the tutorials as well if you need a refresher

but i would not play through the whole story on a new character

to make it clear, no u should never delete characters unless you hate playing them and don't want to buy extra character slots

especially characters that are 1300 item level

low level alts can be used to earn silver, help with weekly unas tokens, or they can just be used for storage

[weary oyster]

server up or no

[vast oriole]

Yes

[gusty kettle]

didnt the post say 5 hours?

[vast oriole]

Nae and euc at least

[lavish mortar]

All are up according to their website
(If that's accurate)

[vast oriole]

Website is accurate

[lavish mortar]

What's the cost of the new years bonus room thingies xd

[gusty kettle]

bonus room?

[steady nova]

thanks a lot for you help 🙂

[west valley]

i dont see it rn no bonus room xd

they had a tab on top somewhere that had bonus room but it seems they removed it

[lavish mortar]

guess gotta wait for store update at 1pm or whatever it is

[uncut cloud]

hey guys im new does anyone know where the gillotene slash is on the assasin skill tree because i dont see it?

[gusty kettle]

thats a slayer skill

or berserker

[cyan kiln]

You mean the purple skill for souleater?

[gusty kettle]

would call it pink if its just guillotine

[uncut cloud]

yep

[cyan kiln]

Are you low level? You get it after doing second awakening quest.

[uncut cloud]

oh damn i see yeah im lv 43

[cyan kiln]

You’re correct, just going after bad memory.

Yeah it’ll come to you eventually.

[uncut cloud]

i kinda find it hard to navigate thru the UI tho haha

[cyan kiln]

It’s very everything in your face yeah.

[uncut cloud]

i suppose dungeons are unlocked after lv 50 right?

[gusty kettle]

once you complete vern i think u get chaos dungeons

and guardians

[lavish mortar]

The game generally opens up a bit more after north vern
Most things are unlocked via item level rather than combat level though

[gusty kettle]

is shushire optional?

[lavish mortar]

Only rowen is optional I think?

[gusty kettle]

been a long time since i made a new character, i know u can skip shushire with knowledge transfer

[uncut cloud]

i mean sorry for the dumb questions its just kinda not really clear hahaha

[gusty kettle]

its super cheap to KT too

[gloomy elk]

Under auto-dismantle -> Ability stone, you can set it to dismantle everything exept favorite engravings. Where do i set my favorite engravings, is it just what i have equipped?

[gusty kettle]

there's a symbol in the engravings menu to star it

[gloomy elk]

Ahh, ty

[gusty kettle]

sadly have to do this on each character

[obtuse canyon]

Hey guys pls help I’m trying to buy my bf a present with the crystal packs but I don’t remember which one he wanted and i think he mentioned sale ends today 😭😭

Anyone know what time it ends 💀

[gusty kettle]

asuming u mean the $99 ones

[obtuse canyon]

Yes

I don’t see a time on the steam store page 😭

[gusty kettle]

one of these

[obtuse canyon]

Yes

[cyan kiln]

Ended today no? Those are the new ones right?

[obtuse canyon]

I see them still on the store page

So I’m assuming they are still on sale for maybe another couple hours 😭

He wakes up in 6 hours chat help idk if he’ll still be up in time for that 💀💀

I waited till last minute cuz my paycheck just went into my account 💀💀💀

[lavish mortar]

Oreha and leap are the only ones worth while (I'd go oreha if unsure)
Silver is a joke lmao
Shards is just 10k t4 shards

[gusty kettle]

i bought the leaps one for most gold value but the oreha is fine too

[obtuse canyon]

is leap stones for like certain classes or sumn?

I think he said leap stone but I might as well figure out what it’s for just to make triple sure 😭😭

[gusty kettle]

leap stone is for all classes

its to upgrade gear

oreha also upgrade gear

but leaps around 80g each and u get 200 from box, and oreha is like 70 maybe and 200 also

[obtuse canyon]

Ok ty y’all hopefully i choose the right one and he doesn’t wake up disappointed 😔

[lavish mortar]

The only wrong choice is silver or shards

[gusty kettle]

well it takes you to the steam menu so hopefully it says 16000 royals cuz otherwise its not same

[obtuse canyon]

Surely it’s this one 💀

16,000 royal crystals

Honing Leapstone Selection Chest VII x40

[gusty kettle]

yep, 12k is normal value, so 16k is a deal

[obtuse canyon]

Kk tysm

[gusty kettle]

that's standard price

[limpid aurora]

Just like the last special packs they'll be online in like 5h, Steam Shop refreshes daily around 6pm UTC I think

[distant cipher]

can i solo guardians

on my own ilvl

[limpid aurora]

I mean you could but it kinda sucks

[gusty kettle]

you can solo them, just gonna be using pots

[flat tulip]

at 1540 and above it gets considerably more difficult

[viral marsh]

No bonus room yet in shop?
