i think you repaired it 😄
you didnt then
but i feel like he scammed me
hammer npc
yea
im here
senard
i upgraded everything and its the same
maybe it didint work?
so you spent the shards to enhance it
now you have to actually increase it, but you're short on blues
god damn it
youre missing blue stones
forever
event shop has boxes with stones
second
yeah there are a ton of islands that give rewards out there
whats your first character ilevel ?
51
ilvl, not combat level
yep 500 on both
islands, tower, event boxes, I just honed like 7 characters from 500 to 1100 in a few days without event boxes or island, just tower + quest rewards + first clear GD breaths for 100% taps 12-15
ho wmany do i buuy
focus on one char
all
and do islands on the char you want to hone
yep
but dont open all
focusing on this one now
okey
oh ionly knew about the one 🙂
whats islands?
no need to do islands if he does the event boss + dailys
the una dailys?
are you doing the event boss on arkesia island?
idk what that is
daily chaos dungeon
i suppose doing the arkesia tour will handle most of it
https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/road-to-rohendel you dont need to do all of them
he should save event mats for when he will be t3
tower gives you most of the leaps you need, enough shards to go all the way to 1100, and most of the stones
tower only gives you some, hardly enough to upgrade to 600+
https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/beginners-and-returners-guide read this over once you've gone through the advice others have given you
also you need ilvl to do tower
theres a lot 🙂
damn
yeah you do T1 tower, then rohendel story, then yorn story, then T2 tower 1-5, hone, 6-10, hone, 11-15, get 1100
whats t1 tower
oh, it's his first char nvm
it was changed
do i go there now?
you get first clear rward + honing mats
on the first tower you run
it was changed months ago
oh that's huge then
do i go to the tower?
you can access it from the alt+q menu in the second tab
do this for starters, put the content list on your hotbar under your map so you can access some of those things more easily
ok
i got it there
but 1 thing
how do i buy heal potions
i dont have any
and its though for me to survive
the silver ones?
you can only use battle items in the tower, not normal healing potions, but you don't actually need any in T1 tower if you dodge things
i got it
got it
alright
ill try the tower
brb
every floor is one of 4 activities: 1) kill waves of monsters, 2) kill boss(es), 3) survive, 4) ??? which is usually just killing the right target
what lvl gems are recommended to clear brel NM
50mio?
yes
tf is mio
50 million dps
I'm transformation so I'm gonna assume it's different
Guys im playing every game without ping issues but when it comes to lost ark i got like 800-2000 ping idk whats wrong with this game anyone else having the same issue?
per 6 dps, or 300mio party dps
ah kk
Restart your pc and router. If that doesn’t work, then idk what to do. Prolly your isp fucking up routing or something.
i thought everybody had 10s in T3 they dont expect you to have 8s now?
lvl 7 on demon skills, rest is whatever
yeah but if its because of my isp wouldn't it effect the every game only lost ark fucks up and everything is good.
but thats the bare minimum
rn I'm 9 lvl 5s and 2 lvl 6s but I'm still 1660 waiting for aegir pieces so when I push I'm thinking about just leaving the 5s and running the transformation gems to 8
why is that?
because its more dmg
oh thats right
amazon servers...
hmmge ok
idk man hates to play arcana with 800 ping like its not already hard to keep up with cards
just the dps one right?
not necessairly amazon servers no
i dont though 😄
it can be routing problem
if youre the only one having ping problem, its not amazon the problem
like i said if its my routing wouldn't it effect every game not just lost ark
well yes, the route from him to amazon servers
no because its not same routing for every game
ands thats from your isp, not amazon
ie, i was lagging in diablo 3 because route went thru bratislava instead of vieana or something
so only way to fix it restarting pc and router?
i'm only 1640 i'm gonna see how the upcoming event shakes out but is this really fine for gatekeeping?
Maybe calling your isp to see if there’s some block or bullshit going on. Though, that’s not likely to work.
better then me 
but yeah more then fine
it's usually aegir pieces ppl are worried about
i haven't played in a while, but i did play for a while 🙂
alr im gona try tomorrow its too late for now
thanks for help
pingplotter and see your route/ping to different sites
i dont have any of those 😄 i'll have to figure it out next week
as long as you have 3 ancient pieces u probably can find a aegir raid easily but brel probably looking for 5 at least
nonono i'm a baby i just hit 1640 on my first toon
it'll be a minute yet before anyone invites me to anything 😄
yeah i just got my 2nd piece this week and every lobby rejected me when I had 1
one quick question do you think changing a dns and using goodbyedpi affect the ping?
t4 players stuff that im reading and don't understand
??
btw i finally got the forest's minuet thingy music @trail hawk
took me an entire day
im in that same boat, just coming back to the game after quiting at vykas, so now im stuck learning fights on my 1640 pally and its miserable solo
any tool with which you can check your route
can do it in cmd too
I'm returning to from when I took a break when clown was released
one of us, one of us 😄
with pathping or whats the command
@trail hawk what's the next island after arthentine
story next is vern
I usually have a support as one of my alts but solo raids being a thing I left it behind 
just follow the story
vern looks so boring
why?
vern is kinda quick

im liking arthentine for now
might put bard as my 6th now though since ik 3 raids that aren't in solo mode
probably gonna wait for a 1660 express event for that though
Hopefully the next upcoming one 
it wont be
i fell off right when ivory tower came out so it's been a minute
a man can pray 
how do i get this?
but yeah I doubt it'll come out after the coming one
im not getting any of it
gotta give it like 2 more after the one that's coming lol
mainly get from doing chaos
but there's a few other avenues to get them
idk if solo exchange has
event shop u can probably exchange for a box of them
una dailies
and idk where that is
what does your currency menu say about those
it says i have 88
there should be a checkbox that lets you track it at teh top of your screen
okay so you're getting them, just need to do content to get more 🙂
guardian raid first kill boxes contain a decent amount of shards
oh I also forgot islands were OP on the start when pushing
is that boss daily?
as well as breaths which are nice for the 70% taps
yes
15 for 100% on armor, 30 for 100% on weapon, and you should just upgrade your weapon all the way to 15 as soon as you can
once it starts i can't get in it right?
think its 3min timer
yeah always do the field boss or portal thing especially with how much t4 mats cost rn it's great for a little extra gold and a chance of good relic book that can sell for 100k+
can be bit late
im in
but better be on time next time
what now?
lot of catching up to do it slipped through the cracks on me 😄
u told me and what
waiting for ppl
yeah back then the mats were nothing so I just ignored them lol
so i made it?
not yet, maybe there wont be enough, because too late
if everyone already got into groups you might not have enough people queueing up to get in
next hour then
see you in an hour then 🙂
at 23
dx
im gonna try to hone my gear first
that daily event is like having 6 alts doing chaos + guardian, pretty good, guarantees people with 1 char can buy out the whole shop
event tokens, open like 5 bags, and you can hone to 1100
dam
its 2700 blue stones per box... so 5 = 13500
ill do that ig
you'll have a hard time honing all your gear with 88 shards 🙂
or you can do it like
indeed
buy 1 box of shards, 1 of leapstones, 1 of red stones, 1 of blue stones
yep i just did that
60k shards
damn that looks good
damn
685 ilvl
and i haven't finished yet
rohendel time
dont buy too much of any one kind you'll eventually hit the end of their usefulness for those early materials
click the third tab
should i use the 2 that i get from my class
you'll see the total sum of all of your jewelry + those equipped engravings there
do i use those 2
one or the other
ok
perfect
got it
btw
i watched a youtube video and he said i needed swiftness
but i have 0 swiftness
its ok if i dont have swiftness right?
that'll come from your jewelry and, in small amounts, from doing various content
its okay for now
alr
which of the two engravings did you go with?
the second one
@floral pollen
the red one
you can equip the same engraving twice, it'll give you 12 points in the same engraving
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Yt9zTDRgBpWQszwzzzYLcmr-FMXVmrF4JxaA12VeuQ/edit?tab=t.0 use this one for now, since you're not up to T4 yet
Early T4 Doc We created a public discord, check it out at discord.gg/loanexus! W SouleaterCommunity Guide Editors Sekwah, Stein, Ciel, & Haste Special Thanks ThatsNotJimster, Grenton, & Pinesoda RU Translation THIS GUIDE IS UP TO DATE WITH THE 2024 JUNE PATCH General ...
alright
a lot of it will still be beyond what you've seen so far, but that's what you're working towards
both are good
blue is arguably a bit better as i understand it, but obth really strong
go for it
Night's Edge (red) is easier to setup at early levels
Full Moon Harvester (purple) needs a lot of Specialisation to work
o
look at that T3 guide, it will explain the differences and how to play it correctly
what are engravings
in my opinion, as long as you're not in Tier 3 (1100), just go red class engraving and don't worry too much about the guide
the guide will make more sense once you unlock engraving support at Tier 3
I am 1490 ip relic gear should I go for +16 and then swap to ancient gear is there any disadvantage?
yep you got 4 more continents in Tier 2 to go 🙂
(Rohendel, Yorn, Feiton, Punika)
rohendel story, then once you're done with that you'll need to hone to 805 then do yorn, then to 960 and do feiton, then 1100 and punika, which is where you finally enter T3 and get gems and engraving support
probably won't get the leg set from argos at 1340/1370 unless you get people to carry you, no parties/matchmaking for it anymore, so you'll just be working towards solo legion raids tbh, starting with Valtan
got it
alright
legendary set is pretty antiquated at this point its likely an unnecessary step
wish they made argos solo so you could grab it if you want, it doesn't soft reset honing IIRC but outside of express events it's the first chance for a new player to get a set bonus 😄
cant find phantom raid lobby everyone kicks me for being 1490 so I need to upgrade
solo raids exist for that reason
and not because you are over 1490 means automatic entrance
funny enough it would be worse
ppl want reclear/ over item leveled (less risk of jail etc) and ya solo your raid if you're having issues getting into groups consistantly, find a discord server willing to help as well. but ya solo is a good qol for to learn at your pace and not wait outside the gate just to get into a lobby.
honestly solo is huge for the game, big fan
Isn't there a chaos dungeon for north kurzan? Is Voldis 1610 gs the last one? I finished the quest line for north kurzan now but seems like there is still none
did you do what the game told you and activated the new war map layout
Yes I did
Oooh the kurzan operation plan is the new chaos dungeon xD And I was like why is thre no party and no one queuing up for this
Sry my bad. Thanks 😄
kurzan front yes
I wish they made it harder
Solo compared to normal is two different raids and compared to hard it's a different game
go to a HM group raid then
solo is nor ever will be meant to be a hardcore experience
I'm saying I can clear like echnida solo easily but if I go into an echidna normal mode reclear / hw it isn't the same like I'm going to wipe
Even though I don't wipe in solo
and just because that you want a mode made for casuals to be harder so they struggle even more
why i cant buy it?
because you have bound gold
The charm gimmick (having other raid members get charmed to kill you) and the blue tiles are different
Solo doesn't teach you to bring sleep potions which you absolutely need
how can i get this other gold
Gold Sources
Tradable Gold is gold that can be used to purchase items from the Market/Auction House as well as be traded to other players.
- Legion Commander Raids
- Kazeros Raids
- Abyssal Dungeons
- Adventure Island Gold Reward
- Fate Embers (gold is withheld)
- Life Skills
- Selling tradeable items on Marketplace/Auction House.
- Content Bids
- Completing Super Mokoko Express Events (gold is withheld)
- Royal Crystal Exchange (gold is withheld)
Bound Gold is used exclusively for progression systems.
- Gold Reward Chests from Una's Tokens
- Solo Mode Raids
if a person wants to go onto a group raid, he better start socializing and checking guides and discords
its an mmo, solo is a good bandaid
but its obvious it wont teach everything
what does it mean withheld? i cant use it or what
read the whole command
nah, they could make a solo hard mode that's closer to the difficulty of the real raid, like a stepping stone to get into raiding instead of a perma jail
nothing teaches you anything, either go in blind or read up ahead of time 🙂
You cant make it like group version becaude youre alone
Wait, for bosses can you only see your own bleed debuff?
solo inferno mode would be neat 😄
It wont teach you sleep grenades because youre alone
why doesn't it? solo is way too training wheels as an intro to group raiding
Its that simple
please, enlighten me, how would you, exactly, teach players how to do 8man mechs and use battle items when there is no one around
Solo is good for reclearing old raids (non gold) but generally bad trying to clear current content you're doing if you're trying to make gold
and why would you make it hard if the purpose is to let casuals clear it so they can progress and have fun
ngl tho i wish we could switch from nm/hm into solo mode but it's w/e
I learned this from ivory tower, cleared it in solo a ton went to do it in public lobby on my 1600 and struggled and there are no ivory tower learning parties lol
At least none that I see
since the answer will be kinda dumb and full of nothing, i'll see myself out, i'll take a shower
Yeah go shower you smelly
I think you misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying take away casual mode, I'm saying you can get hit by nearly every mech and timestop most gimmicks and clear. You don't need to teach 3x/3x+1, battle items, etc. Just have all the mechs that are removed added back in and make failing patterns or mechs kill you, like the real raid would without a support etc.
the fights have never been "approachable", you either agree to learn it all together, or read up on it online, there's def a ton of guides for ivory tower available
Solos extremely good for casuals I don't disagree i just wish there was an easier way to transition between them to normal
not really possible
If you've done solo and go get in a group without being in jail and are dead on the ground because you got hit by something that you can in solo mode and never learned it, that's just a bad experience
they did originally have babymode for the raids, i'm not sure how those compare to solo i never did them
they were a failure
My gripe is a brand new player let's say used the pass got 1585 honed to 1600 did ivory tower solo 4x in a row for a month straight decides "hey I'm going to go do public lobby so I make more gold so I can hone higher" will watch a guide go into a "hw or rc" lobby because nobody does learning for ivory and will jail the group in g3
if they did it several times solo and watched the vid, they've done all that can be expected of them

G2 baby drag mechs will prog jail actually lol
Those are great for recent content, ivory tower is old lol
thats point 1, and point 2, ivory is kind of considered old content by now, not really a lot of groups
and if he gets a group the other 3 will blast thru mechs
he aint learning
see links above
thats a game problem with a user semi fix, thats why these discords exist
This is coming from someone whose experienced this, I literally took a break came back in November never did ivory before I quit so I learned it in solo and struggled in public lobbies
ofc chances are he aint finding a group fast, he gotta start socializing and looking into getting a group/static/guild or whatever
True but maybe he's a casual who spends a few hours a week in the game
if hes a casual he aint going into group raids
casuals usually have raid anxiety
few hours a week, he aint even raiding sometimes
Maybe he a wow main and enjoys raids but doesn't do them in lost ark cause the content he's in is basically dead
not the case
if hes a wow main he knows much better than to not seeking info or joining discords for it
whatever lets just move on
people really dont understand a casual's way of playing
most casuals dont even touch a raid in their lifes
Yeah guess it depends on what people consider casual
I play a ton but I only play 3 characters 1650, 1600, 1600. I've done echnida thaemine solo on my 1650 a ton now, I've done echnida normal through learning groups twice. Have yet to do thaemine in a group, I've done behemoth with friends where they taught me the raid
I can easily learn thaemine and echnida cause you can easily find learning groups with those discords but a new person who gets the pass and is at akkan and ivory is not going to find learning parties
im a returning player to lost ark and my main is 1400, i wanna get to my friends item level but i dont have any oreha crystals or most of the mats to do it quickly, is there anything that can help push me to their level faster?
Guessing you're not trusted?
yea i aint
once you hit 1415 you can do valtan for clear medals and buy orehas from solo shop, otherwise you gotta buy with gold or craft bound ones in SH
i don't remember if the event shop has orehas
guys im 1640 should i try to advance hone anything or just start straight hone to 1660?
It does not
I was told if you had a ton of t3 mats you advance hone at 1620 but since you're 1640 you probably don't have t4 mats so hone to 1660
so basically its gonna take me 10 years to reach 1600
if you play for 30 seconds a day, yes
if i do all my weeklies and dailies on 3 alts how long would it take me
It will take a minimum of 2 months yeah unless you express or pass
what lv are the alts
fresh tier 3 but there's power passes no?
It takes 5 weeks just doing akkan raid to get enough mats to craft 1585 gear while also buying the eyes in solo shop, doesn't matter how many alts you have ad those are character bound
or you can buy them
really encouraging me to play the game guys
Yeah I'll be honest
which is an obvious exageratted number
I don't recommend playing the game unless you're trusted
what about next month i heard theres an event to help right?
you either buy a pass or slowly craft orehas yourself
Cause powerpass is the way to skip
do you know when next month?
The express events have a minimum item level to use them and the powerpass let's you skip to a certain level but must have trusted status to get
any date i give is speculation until amazon gives the official notice
how do i get trusted on steam
Who knows
its not steam trusted
!trusted
its lost ark trusted
but fucking stupid useless amazon cant fucking localize for their fucking lifes
?trusted
Amazon changed how trusted status is obtained, the old way is "You need steam trusted / non limited and enabling 2fa on steam guard app", it's now an in-house system not reliant on steam. All the info they have given us on how to get it is "Play the game and you get it eventually".
Amazon Games Trusted Info
oh i thought i had to pay 5 dollars to get trusted
this is what we know, any further questions we will always answer with a "no idea"
I think this was the old way
just read the command above
thank you gentle people
Work the soloraid shop to get to 1580 pretty fast. then either
Once u finish the south kurzan quest u can pay 10 bucks to power pass to 1600 which comes with kay lvl 3 stuff and lvl 15 akkan gear, but you'll need 40 akkan eyes to transfer armor quality, and 100 total to do both armors and a weapon quality.
or u can just buy akkan eyes from soloraid shop for 4 months and tap them from 12 to 15 each which could cost ... i dunno, rng gold, not cheap. or mix it up and clear some gates while also buying from shop to make it a little shorter...
worst case scenario if u play alot like 4 months.
Does solo mode echidna give the same amount of t4 mats as doing it in a raid with other players and does it also give the new destiny stones?
question my friend is still 1400 not even at south vern yet. Should he keep honing and trying to upgrade or just play the game and hoard materials until he gets trusted
ive heard people say trusted takes around 3 days thats why
south vern is 1340 to start tho
oh i thought it was 1415.. well you get what i mean tho
whatever mat you hoard now will be 1/25th as effective compared to the pass' mat tier
yea but im mostly worried about him spending all that gold for a 20% tap
he needs the fusion materials as well
what gold, besides the orehas
depends on if he just wants to power pass closer to the newest content. If they enjoy the game and wanna experience and learn it all, just keep pushing. And it also depends if it's their only character. I would use the pass on atleast a new character no matter what if u can, cause the soloraid shop clear medal tokens are shared between all your characters.
So if u have a high level, u can do all the raids u can on that, and use the clear medal tokens on the lower level character to buy crafting gear for valtan, vykas, clown, brel, kay, akkan, and 3 elixirs a week.
you dont use gold, at all, to tap at that ilv
it costs no gold up til 1580
it can take weeks
unless ur buying oreha's, leapstones, and stuff. but soloraid shop, guild shop has stuff u can get. 100 oreha's a week from soloraid shop which is nice, cause those cost gold to craft or buy.
they'll never give u enough to instant get there in a week cause it's timegated to encourage swiping. but if u got patience, the soloraid shop does wonders up til 1580ish
ok so play the game and level up the main using soloraid shop and wait till u get trusted and use that on an alt
you wont have solo shop before 1415
well hes like 6 taps away from 1415 so hes prety much there
he doesnt have oreha
thats the problem
thats why it sucks when you dont have powerpass
he has 9k gold to be fair he can just spend a bit there
but not on materials only on oreha
does he has tradeable gold?
yea, like 6 alts is max gains i guess. more is i dunno, not realistic for new/ less hours invested players. but u can have 30 characters all doing 7 raids each a week for more clear medal tokens if u want, but it's like deminishing returns i guess since only 6 can make gold from 3 raids a week.
this is what it looks like for him
im guessing thats tradeable?
ok then its good
yep
please dont tell new or returning players to play 6 chars
you DONT NEED 6 chars
yea, but i woulnd't.. ideally he gets oreha's from the soloraid shop.
he cant... hes not 1415
100% u don't. it's about what u wanna do.
like i already said
dont worry i think at MAX he will do 3..
pushing to 1415, shouldnt be bad with just doing chaos dungeons etc,
i pushed a characters all the way to 1490 with blue/purple no valtan or vykas gear
he cant go 1415 witout orehas
yes he can
no
i went to 1490 with no orehas or valtan or vykas
then used soloraid shop to buy valtan and vykas gear t push for brel gear
and he cant get them from solo raid shop
dw guys he has the gold to buy orehas thank you all
because hes not 1415
ohhh. yea he can farm and crafti guess. i dunno if it's worth
u'd have to do annoying math to see whats more worth to buy from auction or craft at ur stronghold, or to farm with life energy and craft
theres not a lot of orehas in the solo raid shop so he will need to craft them or buy them anyway
but from 1400 to 1415 it won't be much
does soloraid shop have stuff for below 1415?
i know u can get 100 norehas a week
yes
yea, it's the paywall for lower levels in orehas, i came back 3 weeks ago after a year off.
even though it says it's no gold to 1580, i spend a bunch on purely orehas
there's no easy, way around it i guess, but from 1400-to 1415. it shouldn't be much. and after that u can try to work the soloraid shop.
yea, i mean it's a gimmick, but before i quit, pushing to 1580 was obscenely expensive with how many pities or high artisan i got. it's much less miserable now up to atleast 1580, and 1600 is not the worst. but not good. and after that is terrible imo.
whats the deal with the tool pouches that have been dropping?
its since t4
seems super random, should i expect to get upgrades from it?
prob not
...what can i do with the garbage tools i get 😬
dismantle
You can dismantle the tools from those pouches and should
You get crafting mats for the durability replenish thingies
no dice
i've never seen them below rare tool 
guess you can only dismantle the rare and above ones then

OK time for some g2 thaemine
Hey guys, this might sound dumb but I tried DMing my friend using the “whisper” mechanic. What are the chances he got it?
well if hes online, 100%
Ah. He was playing in another party so maybe that’s why he didn’t respond
I feel bad for missing him
my bf
🚁 🐱
if its your friend, you dont have him on discord or something ?
i hate the chat ingame ngl
@rose jewel i want to die...
some friend is saying he is going to exchange bound gold for unbound gold to send to his other account..
like ??????
im curious how he would do that
i have no idea
and when i questioned him
he just said good night
and left vc
like how much of a dumbass is he
he's the same dude to gloat about clearing a new raid but doing much lower than the min req
i got like 200k bound gold, can i get the secret to converting it?
into honing 🙂
spend it on honing more ilvl to then do higher tier raids which give more unbound gold! 
unfortunately still about halfway to being able to hone to 1620 lol
trans
full

or 55 elixirs
and next imo honing
i'm at 40 on elixir, 1620 and trans are my next goals
so u have full set don't worry
but i hope no luck set
have 2 55s, the rest can be improved, but not too worried about it yet
trans is very much worth now
u can clear thaemine so
this give a lot
smaller gatekeept
i'm mostly working on getting a full roster up to 1580 and then 1600 and 1610 to hone main faster, not too concerned about it atm since getting to 1620 i'm still like a year behind, might as well get the gold gen in place and then start trying to catch up
so just buying books atm
books and juice
in february we can have express
it can help u
yeah I'm gonna boost a new character up with it
im boosting an argeos slave
Eyo relatable
Either WS or my SS
Gonna try WS on gfs account and see if i like it enough lol
man I knew I should've spent gold on tome collectibles before I quit, back when they were all cheap, now the old zones are expensive to max
yep because bots are getting banned
Generally want to buy Brel chests, right? For the next ~6mo if NM?
yea
no way to see karma information on someone when inspecting them?
good name
what's ft in echidna?
crevox, you're back 😮
fly trap
damn
it's the person who is dedicated to getting purposely eaten by the fly trap so the rest of the party can survive
so its just that?
yeah
good lord, i thought it was something else
usually you have a support or gunlancer do it
not good because i dont like to heal
Then what?
Another 1640 supp in the lobbies waiting list
Dps shortage
Wild soul there will be plenty of 

wtf
i just got in a chaos gate solo
oh nevermind, someone came in like 30 seconds later, must've been a slow loader, but just 2 people lol
and? i dont like playing dps
Hi, I'm starting to play and I'm trying to choose my class but I'm a bit divided. I don't know if I should choose Deathblade or Wardancer and go Fist of Intention build. I like both characters and playstyles but I think I would maybe like the Wardancer a bit more (fast playstyle, lots of apm). However, I've seen that the Deathblade is a better class than Wardancer and have a lot more damage output. Does it make that much of a difference or can I safely pick Wardancer and still be wanted for end game content raids and bosses?
Like class = pick class
You're months from the real end game and balance can change a lot in that time
if your just spanking new the classes or not going to natter cause you don't have the full set of skills or anything so just pick one
I'm at 1650 gs now. Is there any reason why I should rush to 1660+? I'm still a returnee, my roster lvl is 125 and I don't even have LoS, currently using Deep Dive 24 awakening (I missed the free 30).
Does it make sense to hone to 1660 in my current position if I don't have a group of friends/guild?
all classes r good but for now u won’t have a “main” until february express event where u boost a char to the endgame
so try out both initially with their correct set up t3 builds in trixion and decide after that
Alright, thanks
unless there’s a powerpass on right now? i don’t rmb
probably not, u won’t be getting into any aegir normal lobbies unless u buy a bus
but at this point, if u have ur gems and elixirs and trans done, there’s not much else to spend ur gold on except alts
Guys what does "100mil" everyone talks about dmg wise in raids?
100M dmg? isnt that low?
100mil DPS in the raid
it's basically the min dps req for g1/2 of new brel
now include support buff, atro+darks - mechs, and pattern downtime
So the exclusive title is phantom lord right?
Only need to do g2 hm and not 1-2 hm?
Thinking of just saying fk g1 next week
correct
this week and next is phantom lord
2 weeks to get phantom breaker
and then final 2 weeks of frontier for phantom witness
idk if it’s hm g2 only
i believe you can get all 3 titles, but not 100% sure
haven’t been around to read
you can do nm g1 hm g2
friend of mine did that
Only need to do g2 right? Or is it 1-2
Bet
interesting
I'm "new", just want to know about the numbers, for example my hyper does 3B dmg, so how are they counting the 100M
it's 100mil damage per second being dealt
you use meter to check
ngl tho if you can't clear hm g1 next week i'm not sure you'll be able to clear g2 on hm
Nah i didn't do any g1 progs at all this week
Don't plan to either
Just did nm
I'll do g1hm 3rd week
why tf cant i login, it keeps saying region lock server bro?
using geforce now or a vpn?
neither
try verifying steam files?
ok
Remove vpn/ restart pc / restart router
Is there an easy way to tell if it's worth buying hellfire books to hone? They're pretty expensive, but so are t4 mats
gold values under the books are what they'd need to cost to be break even, less and they're worth buying, more and they're not (NAE prices as of yesterday)
worth less if you have infinite shards though
ahh damn okay so I should have been buying books this whole time
i'm fairly sure the books only just became available with brel release, but not 100% sure
cuz first one i'd ever seen drop was my hm brel clear
just this last week you mean?
yea
ahh I see
they're fairly cheap like half the price of those listed in your pic
I guess relatively cheap, still expensive T_T
is there any cube event?>
2x lucky room chance
I have a specific question.. World Tree Leaf. #76 says get 10 platinum ore and trade to rayni the wandering merchant but she doesnt sell the item. Its a 2year old guide, has it changed?
Anyone having problems with the servers?
I was on doing chaos dungeons, I get "cannot connect to server. Exiting game" and now I either have errors hopping onto brel or it saying server region is closed
they don't have the world tree thing in stock all the time i think
simple enough, thanks
The scythe mech on brel that u have to press g, and sups dr should be p1 left and p2 right ?
People are messing up that really bad
ppl r not exp at that ppoint cuz its so far into the fight. thats how it is on prog
I mean reclear
The guy that removes debuff he protects from blindness the sideral or just remove it ?
huh, the entry requirement to south vern is 1340 but the chaos dungeon there is 1415
Gustaven?
genuinely only see that guy when someone hits ctrl z assuming it's azena like it is every other raid
Someone said he protected from darkness 145x
But i guess not
yo ucan't control that arna
If someone dies we kinda get
How do you get suck in the middle?
If u get hit by the lasers because u walk too fast / slow
Or maybe if someone give u darkness
Because they cant afford to break ball
where i can get this skin?
how much defense down on enemies translate to actual damage? effects such as dagger/synergy def down/etc
aka dagger

Hone are get a top skin
tell him to come here so we can all laugh at his sorry comical clown ass
i read
for luterras horn strat in g2, do you just use it on your spot then walk around in a circle as usual?
At some point
See I read
correct
the luterras horn does nothing for yourself
but it kills the orbs for the people behind you
essentially making the mech foolproof
if everyone uses, will they take all the orbs so the boss doesnt get that buff?
they'll do most, if not all, yes
ok nice
their ai is sometimes bad so its not guaranteed
anyone know when paladin female release?
kr gets it in summer
Old returning player, like its been a year. I power-passed my artist that was already 1580 and had sooty gear. Am I supposed to level the sooty set or the possessed mayhem that was given???
they gave you teh relic T4 set?
T3
so you currently have full 1580 ancient brel gear, and they gave you akkan gear?
Uhhh whichever is associated with Akkan. I believe thats Sooty
oh its literally called sooty
I think it starts at +12(?) and youll hone it to +19
Yea, its one of the prefexes we usually ignore
unfamiliar 😦
Yeah they both start at 12 which is why i was so confused
can you link a picture of your current helmet?
(you'll likely just gear transfer to the new gear)
Yeah I think it is the sooty one since it uses akkan mats
did or is slayer getting buffed? because most ppl are saying the class is trash but i see some streamers starting to make slayer again?
Brel ancient gear starts at 1525 and you hone it to 1580. You then gear transfer it to Akkan ancient gear traditionally. It starts at 1585 and you hone it to 1620. They do the soft reset to "reset" the honing process so you get higher odds and the level doesnt increase forever
Because the powerpass gives you free akkan gear you skip the gear transfer process
slayer is, and always has been, fine tbh
it's just gone through phases of being weaker than other classes lately so people get madge and call it trash
so yeah they're the same piece but a different set level
uuuhhh use the one with higher set level i guess
should be able to transfer quality over i believe
Ah ok ty
would it be better to power pass my slayer thats currently 1560 when wild soul comes out or keep pushing through manual honing? for context this is my second chara. main is at 1655
personally i'd power pass somethign else, 1560 to 1600 isn't too bad of a push
it's 1600-1620 that sucks nuts
because also considering using the power pass to create another chara like WD or blade
is the power pass to 1600?
is scrapper or war dancer in a better spot at the moment? i havent created the chara but gameplay wise they look kind of similar to me
when honing past 1655, is it more gold efficient to use all gold on honing taps or use gold to buy market honing books
That is something youll have to math out with the maxroll honing calculator and your regions current market prices on books
currently bursty play styles is more in favour if ur looking to mvp but overall dmg most classes are pretty similar
so eso wardancer vs shock scrapper id say wardancer is in a better spot
downside to eso wardancer is u always kinda gotta be in contact with the boss to build gauge which some ppl might find annoying
downside u shock scrapper is it takes a bit of time to build ur guage and when u do it's a very quick burst but if the boss moves or turns around you cry 
being forced to be in contact with the boss is the main annoying part of ESO. that means the second the boss moves you bursts window goes to shit. and brel moves alot.
if she slaps you and interupt ur windwhisper, your dps goes to shit. if she moves 1meters and your roar misses, your dps goes to shit.
we only have 2 range dps skills. Azure Dragon and T-skill.
but if she doesnt do any of those annoying moves during your burst window then its really fun with really good dps.
which i guess is where raid knowledge plays a big role
well yeah especially in prog raids I wouldn't recommend playing them they feel absolutely terrible if you aren't comfortable with mechs
FI wardancer I'm not exactly sure how it works anymore since they changed it up in t4 where she uses guage again but it should be more chill if your just looking for consistency
its not too bad but all the anim-lock skills can be a pain
taijutsu is just spam attacks there's ways to optimize dmg during your burst mode by arranging ur stats but it isn't necessarily to important
where i find guilds for new players, i wanted to prog nm brel
Raid guides for new raids, Memorizer92 on youtube. Solo raid guides, Deathboi
Maxroll usually makes raid guide overviews too which are nice
Yes
do you get anything for collecting relic books for other engravings?
no passive gains?
What do you mean other engravings? The engravings you used improve with every 5 relic books read
just wondering why relic books were all worth so much
but i think it might just be a supply issue
There is almost nowhere to get themand everyone "needs" 100 books for a build
right
but if i get 5 lightning fury book that still does nothing for me unless i equip it, right?
the 5-5-5-5 system didn't change anything in that regard?
how does defense down on enemies translate to actual damage? effects such as dagger/synergy def down/etc
Well yea. why would lightning fury books help you if youre not using lightning fury
wishful thinking 🙂
card sets give you stats, marginal as they may be
didn't know anything about the T4 engraving system, just curious
thanks 😄
slightly better than the normal +6% damage
i think
does that imply something like -1.8% defense (dagger) is more than 1.08x dmg
as in it's final dmg / multiplicative
unsure, its something i heard in passing from saint
that def down was slightly better than 6 damage
well that's synergy comparison
I'm questioning how much dmg you actually gain from defense down, not how good defense down syn is vs other syn
trying to gain some sort of understanding of how much value it is
guilds, not guides
but thank yoou
oh my bad
?misinfo
Spreading misinformation intentionally or with malintent is against our server rules. Even as a joke, the truth gets misconstrued and people get confused. This includes editing official sources for the game to imitate the publisher or a GM.
There will be penalties for such actions.

any reason not to just convert T3 gems i gather to T4?
no
gems are a big part of my gold strategy atm
i dont have one of those 😄
level 10 t3 gets their bonus lowered when converted to t4, it only matters on classes where one dmg gem makes up for ...1/2? of their damage
otherwise convert all for the ap bonus
20~25%+
sorry i mean like
i'm in T4, and i'm clearing out my T3 cubes, and getting T3 gem chests
still trying to funnel up to getting good gems on my main 😩
So is whispering this game’s version of DMing?
new player question, spend all the mat chest im being given on getting my first character to 1660 to getting a 2nd character to 1640?
Whispering is a common thing in all games but ye
i would say u should push ur main to 1680 and whenever a express event comes use a pass on a new character and boost it to whatever is enough to clear the event
the investment it takes to get to 1640 in the first place and being strong enough to join reclear raids is probably the same amount of gold to just push from 1660-1680 if you don’t include mats
there’s a express event coming at the start or end of feb so you start working on a alt then
maybe im crazy but i dont feel like taking a character from 1640 to 1680 with free bound mats is the same cost as takiung a character from 1600 to 1620 but i havent done the math fully
do u plan on just doing solo raids for a while or do u want to do behemoth/echidna reclear
i currently do behemoth rn weekly on my 1640 character and pl;an to learn echinda
hello new here which is the english server? EUC
ur not gonna find a behemoth party unless you have like 100+ trans
and elixir is also gonna be a bit of gold unless you have a lot of event ones to roll
well ive been doing it and my 1640 character is 40 set with 120 trans
and trans alone can be like 150k just to get 100
the road to hyper event thing pretty much gave yu all that for free
but I'm saying for ur alt
ah
ur gonna need to do trans and elixir again
im sitting on 65 event elixirs i can roll but yea i would have 0 darkfire on the 1600 character id hone up
if u plan on using to abuse the t4 mats prices rn and just do solo raids for quite a while I think it's worth but if you expect to do more with it like joining pubs that's not gonna happen unless you invest a bit
trans is just gonna be a small issue do you have the tickets for the free rerolls?
otherwise it's gonna be quite expensive
is this feb event going to give event elixirs and trans tickets?
Last one did so there's no way they don't here
elixir might be sus though
might be luck like they did with the past 2
i hear what ur saying, looking at my available mats it feels like 1620 is so much more in reach than 1660 but maybe just getting in ageir and investing on main is better overall
Can you lock these to prevent accidental usage?
is it possible to get this pet still?
do we have any idea when wild soul release is?
What time is reset?
?reset
NA reset local time: <t:1736244053:t>
EU reset local time: <t:1736244053:t>
Weekly reset is on Wednesday server time.
Thank u
is there a mari's shop[ price value sheet anywhere?
can i overlay a legendary skin with another one for the dext, but show the legendary still?
you wont get 4% stats
It's only "hard" because you're not strong enough to kill it, your item level is too low
And you don't need to kill it, just focus on the story, you can always come back later to bully it when you're stronger
that's what im doing
i was hoping to kill him before going to arthentine so i could be more prepared/have better loot
and for tome
Yeah that not going to happen unless you get someone to help you out but you'll naturally get gear as you progress
february
on a bunch of my chars I have a stone that I can't destroy or sell, how do I get rid of this?
sell to merchant
there is no better loot
you just get your gear from doing story, doing raids
its not an arpg in that sense
Ow I can’t do my dailies in bed
leave pc on, steam deck link cast to pc
EAC being stupid as always
does steam deck have that feature
Oh could that work
I mean if I’m gonna use it
Pc would be on anyway since I’m 2 feet away from it
I just can’t sit for long periods of time
Anyways, yesterday i did the quest for forest minuet and song of resonance and explored the blocked areas from before so i call that an achievement already
I think i got nothing else to do apart from following the main story in arthentine
I have some quests but they are in sushire sea and i don't want to go there for now
Everything from before arthentine except the chaotic chuo and some rapports is done
Prob after arthentine or vern ill come back and do the chaotic chuo boss and get that out of the way
Btw, is it worth to go trade the island souls everytime i get one or should i just gather some and trade them later?
I got like 2 or smthing, but since they are 100+ idk if its worth going there everytime i get a new one
imma just say it
thsi game isnt for you
the main point of the game is to do raids, you're a quest player
you can click alt+L and view island soul rewards and decide when its worth it to sail there
i know, i don't plan on keeping up with the raids daily, ill prob just finish the game main story and find collectibles and will only come back when new story updates arrive
horizontal enjoyer ✅
I respect everyone's vision, but i have been playing games since 2008, and what i've learned is that theres different types of players
I respect people who grind everyday for hours just to get a piece of equipment with +1 stat than before
It's simply not for me anymore, i had that time in Metin, Blackdesert etc
I like the game overall and the story is fine, i play for that
I get told a lot that the game isn't for me, but i stay for the campaign and some people that are here everyday answering my questions
I simply im too old to be grinding for hours for a different equipment, i just want to enjoy the game on my own way
are you really to old or tired of the many mmo grinds.. i mean i get it i played alot myself.. im not into horizontal but i do it for the raiding and content
Both
I study + work + love spending time outside
Its simply not good for me spending 5 hours in one game only a day
Since i have +1000 games in Steam
you can't fully complete everything as you go in this game, to fully do everything in horizontal in one area, you basically have to do it everywhere, it's intentionally made so everything is interdependent
i'm 37 i got to many hours in this game (5 digits) i mean its my "goto game" nowadays. I got into mmo's from WoW back in the day after playing diff type of games. my hours dont reflect on my progression however i just play with some friends finish my raids and start to do other activities with the ppl i play with (other games) or just hang out.. going back on horizontal it was a thing i was into back in the wow days so i guess the only thing i can relate to that with what u is sayin is "im to old / just fed up lol with it" maybe in another game ill do it but something about lost ark I tried to put that effort towards my collectibles.. my highest is world tree leaves xd
That's completely fine, i accept every type of player, just go ahead and have fun with whatever it pleases you
It is about that in the end
i do deskaluda's on my 1600's 😄
that's true i mean if you're enjoy it and having fun for what u do i have nothing against it.
why not at least do sonavel 👀
hello new here which is the english eu server?
But "this game isn't for you" is the same opinion a call of duty player would say to battlefield player, i had fun in both, simply in call of duty i would play competitively, and battlefield just for fun/story
cause deska takes 30 seconds lul
true but the tier mats are different >.>
like ur getting 1580 < mats instead of 1580 + mats for ur 1600 .. dont mind u to slay the chicken but i mean as long as u know ur getting lower end mats
i stopped caring about mats and getting ahead
Its not a righ comparison, but from the mmos ive played (lost ark, blackdesert, metin) - lost ark for the story, metin for the endless hours of farm, blackdesert for "raids"
i just do things for fun lul
gotcha
i mean i do a sonavel here and there. but mostly just dispatch. i dunno i mean i do it fine. but like 3 minutes into the fight and i just don't wanna be donig it anymore haha
Any, choose the server you like the name
They should be roughly all same population, except ortuust
I'm a bit panicking or am I just a fool..
I played Lost Ark in October and there was an event where I could level up my characters to 1610 it was a support event. I logged on today and those characters are gone? Am I missing something? I would appreciate the help, thank you.
That was the ignite server and sounds like you didn't transfer your character before the server closed
Hi sorry to bother
I'm at arkesia festival and there is a quest that says <listen to matthew talk about the special gift>
And game pinged a circle I don't know what to do
Can u guys help
omg ty selfie worked
love u
we got any info about when the feb update is ?
In brel g2 NM, the clone mechanic, what happens when we stagger all clones? And what is the easiest and fastest way to find the real brel?
You ping her in the middle before it happens, people next to her will still see her marked
Safest method, do able even if people are dead
1 person can see 2 spots usually
Then you just ping next to her to make people aware yours is real
is buying cards for card xp worth it late game going for all the book bonuses?
If lost ark had better fast travel loading I would say yeah but it takes to long to be constantly doing it even on a nvme for my taste but if you really need it and have extra silver
