[fresh crater]

you get mokoko when returning too?

[vital tinsel]

Ya

[fresh crater]

damn thats good

[vital tinsel]

If you haven't logged in for like 3mo or w/e

[marsh needle]

uh oh.. i just found out my mokoko leaf is gone it looks like

i only been playing for about 1 week tho .. strange

i guess im screwed now

[vast oriole]

you lose the leaf only if you hone to 1670

[spiral wyvern]

for doing behemoth for the first time, how difficult is it nowadays? are there any mechanics specifically that I should read up on because they're aren't skipped or anything?

[marsh needle]

im 1640... not sure if its glitched

[vital tinsel]

There's pretty much just hit weak points on g1. And tornadoes (if it happens, sometimes it doesn't). On G2 probably should know to stick with your party during phase, only hit red shards until the 2 fragments come off the sides

[fresh crater]

you only lose the one next to your name

[vital tinsel]

and also how to deal with tornadoes

[fresh crater]

in party finder you should still have it

[vital tinsel]

Other than that it's just dodging and hitting weakpoints

[marsh needle]

oh my thats good news

[spiral wyvern]

how do I know where I go based on my party number for the 4 guardians, or for tornadoes/fragments?

[vital tinsel]

Most parties don't do guardians anymore

[vast oriole]

party number x3

[vital tinsel]

but ya. Also most the time you can just follow your party

[spiral wyvern]

so... party 1 goes directly east?

[vital tinsel]

if you panic or something

[vast oriole]

yes

1 x3 = 3

[thorny heath]

4x4=12

[fresh crater]

?

[vast oriole]

na maths ?

[fresh crater]

its more like
(team number) x 3 = direction based on clock hour numbers

like 3 = 3 o clock

[wraith elbow]

anyone can tell me whats the price of lvl 7-8-9 t3 gems? because when i search lv9 it only appears for t4 idk

[spiral wyvern]

and then tornadoes/crystals are spread out right? You just eyeball it with your group?

[valid helm]

yes

[valid helm]

type level 9 fully

for t3 stuff

t4 is lv. x

[obsidian valve]

i'd also try searching by all classes not just your own

[marsh needle]

sorry ive asked this before but i forgot... can bosses be run multiple times?

i would like to finish this quest if possible

to get the books

[turbid flame]

nope

[marsh needle]

T__T

[turbid flame]

3 weeks

npnp

[marsh needle]

ohhh 3 weeks?

[turbid flame]

two gates per week

[thorny heath]

it counts if you do it on other characters, so you could speed it up

[turbid flame]

3 weeks times 2 gates = 6 gates

🤯

[marsh needle]

i only have one character

and im not sure why it shows 2/6 when i only cleared it once for the unlocking of adv honing

[thorny heath]

huh people dont want these anymore huh

[marsh needle]

maybe its counting my challenge express clear?

[turbid flame]

read it carefully

it says gates

[obsidian valve]

#lost-ark-help message and when i do that, i'm seeing around 11k-108k generally lol, on nae anyways

[marsh needle]

OH

[turbid flame]

both those raids are two gates

[thorny heath]

yeah gates, the raid has 2 gates

[marsh needle]

OH!!!! okay

[turbid flame]

most people only high bid on the purple->orange packs

not as many on rare->orange

blue->orange

[thorny heath]

their loss

got myself a tasty weakoned kakul saydon

[vale parrot]

i have a question

[thorny heath]

aint no way

[vale parrot]

how important is to have lvl7 gems in 1660?

[thorny heath]

very relative, depends how you're looking in overall?

[strong moat]

1 or 2 gems for your main damage skills are enough, if it's your main you should probably invest into full 7s

[vale parrot]

hmm

i se

cause actually my main character participated in this express event

so theyre giving me 4 lvl 7 gems

[thorny heath]

you're good to go anyway then

won't matter, you'll passively farm it up over time chief

[vale parrot]

the answer comes because

i have a lvl7 gem but i don't know if i should sell it to boost my honing to 1660 or just keep it to myself

[thorny heath]

cant sell them anyway

they're event gems

[vale parrot]

nono

[thorny heath]

oh you have ONE lvl 7 gem

[vale parrot]

this is mine

[thorny heath]

ah

[vale parrot]

yea haha i know the event gems cant be sold, this one i actually built it up all the way to 7 XD

[thorny heath]

opinions might be different on this

while it is always doable with alot less gear

nobody wants the dude with minimum gear

so i hone and continue to progress as much as needed

which is how hard i personally get gatekept in this game

[rose jewel]

event gems are better than what 90% of people there have

[thorny heath]

you won't get gatekept in terms of gems

if this is your main, you might be lacking roster levels for example

people will find reasons

how is your experience so far?

the higher you push the harsher it'll get

[rose jewel]

if he's a leaf he better exploit it rn

in like 2 weeks people wont care about them

[vale parrot]

cause my original plan was to keep it to myself, but then the frog shop came in, and i want to buy the aegir chest before the event ends

[vale parrot]

in fact, i am :3

[rose jewel]

but at the same time a lv7 takes a while to get farmed naturally

[thorny heath]

especially if you have only like 1 char

up to him tbh

not a big loss

[rose jewel]

but aegir is honestly good to reach, if thats his main

[thorny heath]

selling or keeping

[rose jewel]

gem price went up again so

not the worse to sell it rn

[thorny heath]

once the event ends, you might experience more gatekeeping in aegir

but since you're 1660

you might get less gatekeeping in raids before

[vale parrot]

not only is my main, is the only character in t4 i ahve rn

[thorny heath]

so probably push if you can

[rose jewel]

and aegir is more gold than thae, also t4 mats

[vale parrot]

aight

thanks for the advice

i'm sellin it to reach 1660 as soon as possible

and get the aegir gear

before the mokoko event ends

[thorny heath]

maybe calculkate

before you actually commit

if you are sure you can reach it

go for it

otherwise you'll just have wasted a bunch of gold

[vale parrot]

i am

1655 at the moment

[thorny heath]

ah

okay

then

go ahead strawhat boy

thought you're 1640

[vale parrot]

[thorny heath]

bro all the people i wanna play with are from NAE

ffs

we have like 0 new players on euc lmao

[vale parrot]

[rose jewel]

coz you're there

[digital aspen]

If u can help me a bit to get to 1660 i will defo play a lot with you buddy

[rose jewel]

[marsh needle]

i see that behemoth is 16 player raid--would it be a bad idea if i went in blind, having next to no knowledge? lol

[thorny heath]

bro every monkey pfp dude left me hanging

[alpine anvil]

whats this light ring around my paladin feet, can other ppl see it?

[rose jewel]

leafs are expected to die or to even afk if you ask nicely

[digital aspen]

Not me hahah

[rose jewel]

if you go to a giga juiced party of 1660/1680s you will be doing like

[thorny heath]

add me then broski

[rose jewel]

0.5% of the total damage

[thorny heath]

Patrashnikov

[vale parrot]

i can confirm

[vale parrot]

but as he says you have to let them know you don't know the mechs, otherwise you'll get brutally molested

[thorny heath]

i mean just skip through a guide video

to get like a picture

if you have leaf nobody cares anyway

[rose jewel]

and PLEASE skip the cutscenes

fucks sake

[vale parrot]

that's not true 100% of the time

i say it from experience

[marsh needle]

should i be buying behe extra chests?

1,8k quite expensive

T_T

[vast oriole]

its good mats

i buy them because i will hone

[rose jewel]

you get 18, you use 1.8, you get shards and leaps and blabla

and you finish weapon trans faster

[thorny heath]

i was about to say that, but the market crashed quite hard on mats, is it still worth?

[rose jewel]

crash?

frog did nothing

[thorny heath]

blue stones are down to 4-5g

[vale parrot]

previous frog were better?

[thorny heath]

from 17g

[rose jewel]

frog was giga goated

for the time, ofc

[vale parrot]

what really backs me off is that you can't spend bounded gold

[vast oriole]

i mean its kinda normal

its to combat inflation

[marsh needle]

wow is this rare to get?:

[vast oriole]

kinda

[turbid flame]

not 100, trash

[marsh needle]

highest ive ever gotten my gear

thhe quality transfers over as well right?

[fresh crater]

after like 85 its really pain to improve anyway xd

[fresh crater]

yeah

[marsh needle]

into the aegir gear at 1660?

awesome 😄

[thorny heath]

yup you keep quality forever which is nice

biggest upgrade is on the weapon

but yeah once you reach 80ish quality it becomes hard

since the chances to upgrade are sub 1%

above 90 0.1% and less

[fresh crater]

i dumped like 200 stones into my 87 armor pieces alrdy, 0 upgrade xd

[thorny heath]

yeah

[marsh needle]

ive only been using the processed chaos stones (no gold) to do quality upgrades--i can use those at any time, right? no min maxing there?

[thorny heath]

use the free upgrades

never be dumb enough to use gold

[fresh crater]

yeah not chaos lol

[thorny heath]

yeah

use free taps

benefit

over time you should get all your gear into shape 🫡

[marsh needle]

right and also for the special honing, i can do that any time as well right?

[thorny heath]

while you can, it's most efficient on lower chances

[marsh needle]

as long as i got those special honing circulated leapstones

[thorny heath]

when you're really far into honing

[marsh needle]

ooooo i see i see

[thorny heath]

and the chances are like 3%

[marsh needle]

ah

[thorny heath]

if you hit a lucky tap and it's free

you might have saved 200k

but on a piece that's honeable with 20% anyway you might save 5k

[marsh needle]

yeahhh i felt so good just spam clicking on those

i see i see

[thorny heath]

see it as a bonus

if it works, nice

if it doesnt- well, what do you expect at 3%

it's not being used anywhere else so just use em up chief

good luck

[marsh needle]

thank you thank you

if i start transcendence, can i resume my progress at any time?

[turbid flame]

overall? yes, if you mean during a single level, i don't know

when you're playing the minigame, I mean

Signum, what I mean is, I don't think you can stop mid-monopoly board and go right back to the same one

[marsh needle]

like i clicked "liberate" and the mini game started

but i dont think i wanna do this right this moment

i do see two buttons at the bottom right

stop trans and exit

[turbid flame]

try the exit

[vast oriole]

exist doesnt stop it

[turbid flame]

the stop one 100% stops it

[vast oriole]

you will come back to the same step

[turbid flame]

ah

see, didn't know that

[marsh needle]

oooo gotcha

oh yea it does bring me back to where i was

noice

[thorny heath]

noice

[marsh needle]

wait is transcendence kinda like

a slot machine?

its 100% luck?

[vast oriole]

yes

pretty much

[marsh needle]

ohhhhhhhh thats simple dang

shoulda done it earlier

[vast oriole]

they reowrked it

back then it was luck and you needed to know the cards

[cyan kiln]

The only skill you can achieve is recognizing when it’s 100% impossible

[vast oriole]

now you just spam click

[marsh needle]

does trans also follow the normal priority of optimal gear upgrading? (weapon first, gloves, shoulder, etc)

ohh i see i see

[cyan kiln]

Like don’t force it to the end unless you have a chance at 3 flowers unless it’s the last level.

Trans for dps you want chest pants first.

[turbid flame]

this is what Maxroll says

[marsh needle]

oooo ill give that a quick read thanks guys

[thorny heath]

ah bro was quicker

yeah you basically tap tap tap

and hope for the best

we're all happy it's not the dogshit time consuming system from before

[marsh needle]

yeah in the beginning, when i first started playing, i think i watched an outdated one abt trans

he mentioned something abt taking like 5 hrs

and then i immediately closed the video

been holding back since LOLLL

[thorny heath]

yeah same with elixirs

fuck that shit

everyone and their mother hated it

[marsh needle]

lolol yeahh but i kinda find elixirs fun sometimes

[thorny heath]

the current ones are aight

[cyan kiln]

You didn’t have the old system

[thorny heath]

alright, not great, but the old one

dO u LiKe It

[fresh crater]

i wouldnt mind elixirs as much, if they at least rolled 1 stat that i need from the start, half or more of my elixirs i can just dismantle immediately

[marsh needle]

ohhhhhh i see

[thorny heath]

yeah i only do it weith free elixirs nowadays

and i hoard the event ones (not the frog one thats straight up scam lmao)

for femally pally

/ next alt

[fresh crater]

i still bought frog ones xd

i need good elixirs

i have a 40 set on dps, but im support soooo XD

[thorny heath]

the weekly solo shop is still there dont forget

🫡

[fresh crater]

and the 40 set is just barely 40

[cyan kiln]

I have so many free chests I’m sorted.

[thorny heath]

yeah thanks for reminding, should fix my support at some point

[cyan kiln]

Just gonna collect mats in case we get another dogshit express.

[fresh crater]

only 3 per week

and i can likely dismantle all 3 again next week

because they all roll so bad

[smoky scroll]

is there a sheet regarding t3 and t4 chaos dungeons rewards? silver in specific

[marsh needle]

Just so im understanding this correct, for transcendence, i gotta get each and every 6 pieces of gear to 7 flowers?

[rose jewel]

not even close

a star for effort tho

[marsh needle]

😭

[rose jewel]

all 6pc to 20 flowers

[marsh needle]

Ohhhh oops yea i meant

7 levels

(Of 3 flowers)

Right?

[turbid flame]

only need 20

not 21

[rose jewel]

20 of 21

[turbid flame]

21 is min-max

[rose jewel]

3flower each lv

[marsh needle]

Ohhhhhhhh

[heady hollow]

21 or bust

[rose jewel]

one can stay at 20

[marsh needle]

Wait why only one can stay 20? Why not all stay 20? :0

[thorny heath]

theres alot of things that reaching a certain threshold is "good enough", like 20% of effort for 80% of results

[thorny heath]

minimal gain for potentially alot of gold invested

you reach the last milestone at 20 flowers

the helmet scales with the total amount of flowers on all pieces

[rose jewel]

i put a 0 extra there

one can stay at 2*

3+3+3+3+3+3+2

[thorny heath]

if you got nothing else to do, you can finish transcendence

it's like reaching your 40 set elixir

reachin git is the most important thing, minmaxing the best stats comes sometime afterwards

[marsh needle]

Ohhhhh ok that makes sense now

So each and every piece can have
3 flowers * 6 levels + 2 flowers for one of the levels right

In the end each piece must have 20 flowrrs total regardless?

[thorny heath]

to unlock all the bonus effects listed ye

[turbid flame]

the "set bonuses" per item cap out at 20 flowers total, however the helmet has a buff that cares about total number of flowers

so 21 instead of 20 per item is a longer term goal

[marsh needle]

Ohhhh i see i see

[heady hollow]

just as a warning, 21 flowers on all, is like less than 1% damage gain btw

[turbid flame]

yeah it's 6 attack power per piece

xdd

big

[manic quarry]

[rose jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-infinity-war-gamora-marvel-what-did-it-cost-gif-17159322

[livid fossil]

lol

[marsh needle]

difference in honing at 1640 from before is that weapon is honed last instead of first, right?

sorry to go back and forth but, for transcendence, if im gonna have a 2 flower on a level, it should be the last level (level 7) right?

[heady hollow]

doesnt matter what u hone f irst or last

theyre all gonna need to be a specific + in the end

[marsh needle]

:0 true i guess it's a minimal diference

but i think i briefly saw someone mentioning that the weapon doesnt give

ark passive points?

or did i misread that

[turbid flame]

that's for Aegir upgrading

[marsh needle]

oh so for 1660 gear

i see

[dapper valley]

what are the sources of t3 leaps

[spiral wyvern]

Is this basically it for making gold as a 1640 ilvl main with no intention of honing for now?

Also, not sure what kind of t4 accessories or ability stones to put on auction house tbh

[latent python]

if i want to gain more xp for my stronghold are there any specfiic strucuture i should be crafting?

[thorny heath]

seems about right

[thorny heath]

at that ilvl pretty much nothing, it#s all peanuts

you can just shift rightlick > search though

if you see accessories with higher than 90 quality

that still sells

not for alot, but it does

as for bracelets, check for important stats and alot of slots

those might sell aswell

(crit / spec for example)

i sell anything that goes for 100g each

adds up over time, but it really isnt alot

relic gear is so temporary

[dapper valley]

You're suppose to buy the middle box for unas?

[thorny heath]

gives the most gold on average yea

[spiral wyvern]

i believe that one is the best average value, the bottom one is for gamblers

[thorny heath]

yush

[spiral wyvern]

are there any elixir cutting helpers/tools for the new system? A lot of the stuff I'm finding online is for the old system

[thorny heath]

not alot since it's been so simplified

so you basically just pick whatever seems most useful

if it's a garbage option or something completely irrelevant

reroll

hope for the best

voila

elixirs

here you can gamble big time

you either go big or go home

it either works or it doesnt

[spiral wyvern]

asking because i basically bricked most of the free ones I got a while ago and ended up with a pretty subpar 35/40 😂

[thorny heath]

my mistake was going for safe options

you do absoluitely not do that

[spiral wyvern]

this was like a week ago lol, kinda scared to do any more XD

[thorny heath]

it's normal dont worry

even with the new ones

super duper rng

people have been praising the new system

but it's as dogshit as the old one

less dogshit

but still dogshit

[rose jewel]

dont be confused

they say its better

but

its the lesser worse one

[thorny heath]

gambling involves skill aswell, so does poker, but it's still poker

good luck chief

[candid lake]

I'm just happy trans got updated tho

The old one took so long..

(The calc was nice but for some reason the ai for the 6,7th levels were off)

[rose jewel]

just get 10 ephernias in a row

[alpine anvil]

does quality level transfer to the next set of gear?

or is it a waste using chaos stones now

[balmy plank]

It will transfer, yes

[spiral wyvern]

how difficult is 70% on north karuzan adventure tome for the enlightenment potion compared to other regions?

[rose jewel]

not at all hard

you want 80 anyway

[spiral wyvern]

isn't the bloodclaw thing enlightenment potion unobtainable?

[rose jewel]

half the food is easy, collectibles are not hard (but a tad bit expensive for newbies)

you need 2 total bloodclaw frags for rimeria potion

so you eventually want it yes or yes

since 80 points is the game changer node for a lot of classes

what you can do is life skill while killing monsters around, you'll get some drops along the way

if you eventually max out one drop, sell them and buy the ones you lack

rapport aint hard as well

and then aegir helps

[balmy plank]

Until Remeria release yes. Doesnt hurt to get started on them tho

[manic quarry]

If you want an easier time in the future, do a little bit of everything at once

[vale parrot]

why is not letting me in?

[balmy plank]

Probably not enough people queing to start the activity

[rose jewel]

ded gaem

[vale parrot]

i recomend you this area in seuth valley to farm the collectibles, you basically go aroung killing the big mobs for like 3 hours, and you can even make some gold

[spiral wyvern]

how do you make gold from doing that? :0

[dull leaf]

selling the collectibles on market, people that don't want to gethwr by themselves buy it off the market to finish tome

[livid fossil]

I usually sell all extra collections items cause it is a lot of extras b4 you might get the one you need lol

[marsh needle]

is this referring to the gold shop exchange?

[turbid flame]

Yes

[marsh needle]

ohhhhh i thought it was the large gold chest we were supposed to buy

its the "Hefty Gold Sack (Bound)" right?

80 gold each

[turbid flame]

think that's the top one

[marsh needle]

ohh yeah middle one is Small Safe

200 each

[vale parrot]

why there isn't a dps build for the artist in nexus?

[rose jewel]

#artist ch,

ugh

get the role

id:customize

[vale parrot]

thanks

[eternal anvil]

im trying to get back into the game and not sure which class i want to main, if anyone has decent knowledge on most classes would they be willing to help me out ;_;

[wooden swallow]

What kind of playstyle do you like?

Are you a one gender only? Any of them is fine?

[rose jewel]

knowledge is irrelevant, you probably wanna go meta

fuck meta, pick whatever you like the most

[wooden swallow]

Old man Signum's here to tell me my opinion sucks. :)

[rose jewel]

we dont know what you like, what you hate, at the very least give us something to work with

[timber mauve]

No, you’re supposed to read their mind.

[rose jewel]

the age limit to read minds is 30 man

[balmy plank]

Time to hire some young guns

[wooden swallow]

Y'all get paid?

[rose jewel]

you dont get paid?

pff

[balmy plank]

Paid in head pats and thumbs up

and $1 million bi-weekly in cash under the table

[balmy plank]

[wooden swallow]

It's an MMO lol

[rose jewel]

[wooden swallow]

People will flame you for anything.

[rose jewel]

.....well yeah

[eternal anvil]

[wooden swallow]

Sig over here flames me for liking Wildsoul. :)

[rose jewel]

[eternal anvil]

i mained pokemon summoner for a while

thats sasd

[rose jewel]

i mean you still can

but the damage is not there

at all

[dark basin]

Hello, are there any players from SEA (Indonesia, Singapore, etc.), I want to ask, are there only two West North America server regions? Sorry, I'm just a newbie

[rose jewel]

yes only 2

both are good

[dark basin]

If you are on a different server, can you still co-op?

[rose jewel]

i would pick a region with the lowest ping (idk how much ping people from indo get on each region)

yeah most stuff is region wide

?region

[buoyant dock]

Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Ebony Cube, Chaos Gates, Plat Fields, Auction house, Friends List, Character name, PVP arenas, Strongholds, Adventure Islands

Server Specific
Guilds, Islands, Open world, GvG, Life skills (professions)

Nothing is Cross Region

[dark basin]

I've tried the ping 230

[rose jewel]

on NAW?

that's quite high

have you tried EU region to see how much you get

[minor igloo]

SEA to NAW is like 150-250, SEA to EU is about 270-360

Prob 240 at best for eu

[rose jewel]

kinda rough

[timber mauve]

Isn’t there a Taiwan lost ark server? Maybe better ping there?

[dark basin]

lower ping

[rose jewel]

i believe there is a lost ark tw

[minor igloo]

Oh ye tw server is 60 ping

[turbid flame]

I know a lot of na-w players left when they released the cn servers

[rose jewel]

i forgot of its existence

[turbid flame]

didn't know there was a tw one

[rose jewel]

cn is old news

[turbid flame]

you're old news 😼

[minor igloo]

Last time I played on EU was a stable 300ping

[dark basin]

I don't know why, in my country most servers are west/east even though the ping is high

[minor igloo]

SEA simply has its own publisher. Most of the games we play are not based in SEA

[dark basin]

naahhh

[minor igloo]

Most global games without an APAC server will always give us 150+ ping breh

[dark basin]

in this game i only have online friends

[minor igloo]

Even within APAC, OCE to SEA still be like 200ping

The only way for SEA to play on low ping is to play on dedicated servers for their region

[dark basin]

I see some LA youtubers also have high ping, 200+

[rose jewel]

i didnt ever play SA when it was a thing but i bet i woulda had more ping compared to NAE

the bad thing is i picked NAW

[balmy plank]

West

[dark basin]

or bad thing play LA in my country hahahahaha

[minor igloo]

[rose jewel]

if i was younger and didnt had this job i woulda play just fine on degen hours, not anymore

[minor igloo]

That's a mood

[turbid flame]

I somehow get less ping on na-e compared to na-w, when I am like, far far west in the U.s.

[eternal anvil]

now that i powerpassed a reaper what should i be doing

its been so long lmao

[turbid flame]

Work on the challenge express

should be a... purple icon next to map, i think

ty

i forgot how getting engravings works gg its been so long

time to learn

[turbid flame]

reading books

[rose jewel]

i mean

[turbid flame]

then just equip them

[rose jewel]

its completely different

whatever you learned in the past is effectively useless now

[turbid flame]

no more needing to make sure your accessories have the right rolls for engravings

[rose jewel]

the whole engrave system got reworked

[eternal anvil]

thank god

that was so lame

rofl

is getting the class engrave the same

or is it not just buy the books on the market

anymore

[turbid flame]

no class engravings

[rose jewel]

my broski

watch the video above

[eternal anvil]

ye i am

sometimes just easier to ask 👍

[rose jewel]

not in this case :D

you can ask anything after watching it tho

[alpine anvil]

any reason i shouldn't just immediately burn all these up on the ancient gear i got from powerpass? i dont think they're shared with roster

[rose jewel]

no reason

[alpine anvil]

so with gear you can pretty much keep the same pieces forever, but accessories are kind of disposable? I'm guessing ppl fish for the right imbue/refinements on jewelry

[balmy plank]

In a sense yes. There are soft resets in gear like from T4 relic to T4 ancient but that's all that changes. Accessories are more flexible until you get good ones you'll use for a very long time

For armor/WEP all "modifiers" like quality, elixirs, trans, are maintained when transfering to a new set

[alpine anvil]

awesome thats very handy to know

[mellow granite]

why can I not craft more? only have 9 in queue and cant swap queue and craft either

[turbid flame]

do you have unbound gold + energy?

[mellow granite]

ahhhh I have bound gold that's why, thx

[turbid apex]

what are the gatekeeping standards for Aegir hard and brel normal? Im a mokoko sitting at 1669 to not lose my leaf but i think i have enough mats now to get to 1680. I have 3/5 aegir armors and i bought the mats from the frog shop to complete my set worst case. I have all t7 gems w t8 surge and full LOS. Just weighing the pros and cons of staying where i am and enjoying mokoko buff vs pusing and getting ancient acc and access to karma

[dapper valley]

1680 is fun so get 1680

[lavish mortar]

T4 lvl 7s with an 8 surge is fine on gems
Only concern would be the aegir armors imo which you'd probably wanna pop the frog shop mats for

[turbid apex]

already have the frog mats but i was keeping them for an alt

other option is to just do one more aegir normal first thing this week for my 4th armor, complete it with one box from frog and then push to do the other raids as non mokoko

[lavish mortar]

Could always try your luck with 3pc in hm to see if you get in a lobby anyways

[turbid apex]

ya its something im considering as well

its not a huge diff between the hm and normal lobbies goldwise and i need 2 weeks min to complete my set anyway

[fresh crater]

just how rare is this lava of atun from sevek?

i killed him like 5 times now and still nothing

considering you can only attempt once per day, he doesnt spawn everyday and the item is not overall important, its more a nice bonus, i would imagine it to be more common

[turbid apex]

took me about 7 weeks of killing it every time it was up

but its rng

[fresh crater]

damn

thats way too long for a drop that is not even important besides a little bit more completion

[ocean abyss]

It honestly depends, gems seem fine, outside of ancients which I’m assuming you’ll grab once you hit 80 would be a title gatekeep if I’m being honest.

[turbid apex]

ya this was kinda my one concern

but you dont get title until 10 kills which is soooo far off

i was planning to join a brel learning group anyway

[manic quarry]

You think that's way too long for a drop to complete the tome? Try bloodclaws

[fresh crater]

i mean, those also take too long

the adventure tome collectibles too, blue and higher rarity drops are so rare, but buying on market is not super viable either, because a ton of blue and higher drops cost thousands, if not 10s of thosuands on market

[wicked meteor]

Hi, can someone please explain why I can't do it ? I thought it was only required to do the World Quest on 1 character to be able to use the knowledge transfer

[ocean abyss]

You have to go through the list… yorn then feiton then punika

@wicked meteor

[wicked meteor]

Oh it was as dumb as that... Sorry and thanks

[ocean abyss]

lol np

[wraith elbow]

quick guide on t4 accessories? how they work with enl points/quality and if its worth refining red t4 accessories (echidna 1640 ones)

[rose jewel]

67+ qual = max enl points, refining boosts int/dex/str and bit
If you're poor don't, better buy good ones off AH, or test your luck, it's 600g for a refine, can get shit can get a usable one
for good options

[cyan kiln]

Do we have the ark passive for newbies vid on a command?

[rose jewel]

No

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad7xL5eSpOo

But there it is

~~im the command, overworked to hell and back ~~

[wraith elbow]

i also noticed refining unlocks new stats randomly like crit dmg etc, when u end refining can you change the affixes?

[rose jewel]

No

That's why you refine ONCE and dismantle if nothing good rolled

Unless you like to gamba

It doesn't only cost gold, but accessory shards

[wraith elbow]

u told me i could buy accessory from action house, but when u refine u cant sell them correct? so i just buy from AH to get 67+ qual accessories

i will always have to refine them myself

ohhh no u can actually buy refined ones

[rose jewel]

Imagine

Yes you can buy refined ones, that's how people get their highs or mid mids or high lows

And sell as well obviously

[manic quarry]

Gravvy please

?arkpassive

[rose jewel]

Maybe just call it ?ark

[manic quarry]

Just needs to also link in the maxroll guide too

[rose jewel]

Can you also make it give some gold for free

[manic quarry]

Every time someone uses it?

Gravvy....

[rose jewel]

I bet gravvy is giga multi quadrillionare and he shouldn't mind

[quaint shadow]

Hi I'm new to the discord im level 3à did all the quests but can't ship

30*

[rose jewel]

Take one of your whole screen with the J menu open and another with M open

[quaint shadow]

[rose jewel]

Doesn't matter

[quaint shadow]

[rose jewel]

The UI alone is intuitive enough

[manic quarry]

[vast oriole]

Whole screen signum said

[rose jewel]

Aren't you like half french arna

[rose jewel]

Next time the whole screen please

[vast oriole]

Nettoyage = cleaning
Citrouilles= pumpkin

[rose jewel]

You still have one mission left on the main one

Guess I'll never know

https://tenor.com/view/oniisama-e-dear-brother-ocean-seaguls-anime-sad-gif-21730086

[quaint shadow]

ill tell you

[slim obsidian]

Do the pet farms work for regular life skilling or just when u use the farm in sh

[rose jewel]

Sh only

[slim obsidian]

Ty

[maiden locust]

how do i get tier 4 armor, do i just gotta keep honing till i reach a certain ilvl?

[valid helm]

tier 4 is once u reach 1620

[rose jewel]

Do you have the express on

[maiden locust]

ooh i see it

[valid helm]

u do kanut's fortress and u drop armor, if express is active the game will give u the full armor set (relic, starts at 1590 ilvl but once u gear transfer it goes to 1640)

[maiden locust]

its in the chest

tier 4

[valid helm]

yea open and gear transfer

the old t3 into the new t4

pushes u to 1640

[maiden locust]

not that i know of i think

[rose jewel]

You just said "it's on the chest"

Only the express gives you that chest

[maiden locust]

oh its these sets that say event right

it boosted me up pretty high

[maiden locust]

i see i got it thank you

[rose jewel]

Express event yes

[fresh crater]

if i dont do an urgent quest, can i get it on another char again?

[quasi tree]

Urgents are per character not roster

[fresh crater]

ah then its fine thx

[rose jewel]

they don't appear ever again if you don't do them iirc

[vale parrot]

is it better to buy tailoring books or spent that gold on more materials?

[rose jewel]

Basic simple math

market dependant

[vale parrot]

hhm

so i guess

if the materials for one tap are cheaper than the book itself, is better to just buy more materials?

am i wrong?

[fresh crater]

depends on ilvl too, check the book's description, they add different % at different ilvl

[vale parrot]

rn iam at 1655 so the book is only giving me 5% more

one tailoring book is 2100 rn and one tap is 3175

[rose jewel]

Book gives extra % chance and, if I'm not entirely wrong, double the artisan as well

So if the book costs less than the tap, it should be worth to buy

[spiral wyvern]

for loot auctions at the end of a dungeon/raid, do you have to wait in the room until it's done, or can you leave and you'll get the reward whenever it ends?

[lusty rapids]

You can leave early and still get whatever your split of the bid is

[woeful knot]

im a little confused, the gear on the left doesnt unlock until 1660 but the gear i currently have (from express) is item lvl 1642. i wanna assume gear on left turns into gear i currently have after certain amount of hones?

[rose jewel]

You already hone transfered T3 to t4, it's the same, you realize the relic was not honed but until after you transfered no?

We following or you're lost still

[valid helm]

its aegir gearset, once u reach 1660 u can do aegir raid and craft armor from raid mats

that will unlock more evo points for u to slot in

[rose jewel]

I was gonna explain but I guess fuck me I'll get ignored

[woeful knot]

i guess im just trying to figure out where the gear on right even comes from if i didnt do express

sry i didnt get a notification until i got tagged

[woeful knot]

i mean if i progressed the regular route for my alts, how would i get this gear for them

[rose jewel]

Kenuart fortress random drop, unlimited entry, every X runs you get a selector chest, so 1hr at worse

[woeful knot]

ahh ok thank you

[woeful knot]

thank you as well, i wasnt sure if the gear i currently had was the last set or not

[fresh crater]

how can i advance in pvp btw? whenever i try matching, i cannot find a match, no matter how long i wait

[fresh crater]

its not even random anymore, when i entered kenuart, i got 6 selector chests right away from 1 run

and the 1620 reward from challenge express also gives you a chest with the full gear set

so you technically wouldnt even need to run kenuart, if the quest didnt tell you to

[rose jewel]

The fuck, 6 chests?

[fresh crater]

yeah

[rose jewel]

At once?

[quasi tree]

Weekend has fever time for specific queues

[rose jewel]

In 1 run?

[quasi tree]

Try queueing them

Saturday 3v3 tdm
Sunday 1v1 3 champs

[fresh crater]

i tried weekend, no match found, ever

[quasi tree]

During fever time?

[fresh crater]

yes

[rose jewel]

Perhaps they changed it but until I get actual proof of it I'm still sceptical

[fresh crater]

before fever time already, but yes, also during fever time

[quasi tree]

Maybe naw pvp is dead

Nae has been fine

Check #pvp-general

[fresh crater]

i mean, thats how i got my set

and agian, the challenge express also gives a chest with all 6 pieces

[rose jewel]

Yes I know the express gives it

But idk about the 1 run 6 chests part

It's not that I don't trust you

But I don't trust you, I don't trust anyone until proof is given

[fresh crater]

lol

[rose jewel]

Otherwise I would be spreading misinfo all over the place because "trust me bro"

And it has happened before

That's why I always want proof

[jagged zinc]

you do get more chests than before

i dont know how many, but that combined with first clear reward, I can see you getting 6 in one run

last time i ran it was like a month ago for fun and i remember getting at least 3 pieces

on a non first clear char

[rose jewel]

Hmm

[fresh crater]

i mean, in the end, it doesnt matter what you tell the new players anyway, does it?

if you tell them, you have to run until you get all 6 pieces and they get it in 1 run

then its still goal achieved

[rose jewel]

I prefer to give actual confirmed specific info usually

[fresh crater]

5

chests

last time i got 6

i got
1
1
3
as drops

so a 3 drop is confirmed and rest rng i guess

[rose jewel]

They made it baby mode then

[vast oriole]

yeah it was in the patchnotes

[rose jewel]

Do you think lost ark players read?

[fresh crater]

i mean, it kinda alrdy is anyway xd
its a very easy dungeon and pointless grind the more you need to do it

[rose jewel]

Well, day 1 we had to for several alts, even more for the degens

And ofc I haven't ran a single one since then coz events

[fresh crater]

actually, maybe i could start running this more whenever im bored

just dismantle the gear

for destiny stones

[rose jewel]

How many it gives

Like 3?

[fresh crater]

its very little, but adds up over time

weapon gave 3

[rose jewel]

Thats

[fresh crater]

armor gave 2 per piece it seems

[rose jewel]

Not worth, at all

[fresh crater]

but like, when im done with dailies and weeklies and i dont feel like doing adventure tome, then its better than sitting around doing nothing

[rose jewel]

But degen farmers gotta farm

You can go play another game

[fresh crater]

idk dont feel like any other game atm

[rose jewel]

Go play Pokemon or something

Ys series is very good

[fresh crater]

ys?

[rose jewel]

Ys

Ys 8 best Ys

[fresh crater]

i dont rlly play singelplayer games

i alrdy find lost ark too much singleplayer atm

[rose jewel]

Dana best wife

[fresh crater]

but at least it gets better when i get higher a bit

[rose jewel]

You're probably young

The older you get the more you appreciate single player games

[vast oriole]

i dont like single player games

and im old

[rose jewel]

You're a cat, you hate everything

[vast oriole]

i dont!

i like cake

[rose jewel]

You hate everything (food not included in the promo)

[vast oriole]

maybe

[fresh crater]

i just like being around people more, not too many, but as long as its not solo
i used to play singleplayer games as a kid, but it just doesnt rlly do it for me anymore

[rose jewel]

To each their own

Maybe I got PTSD from league

[marsh needle]

hello, what is the purpose of having a mentor?

[fresh crater]

league with friends is nice, with randoms its the relative of crabs

[rose jewel]

When you go to school, what's the purpose of a teacher

Same thing

[marsh needle]

i mean, there is this channel as well for questions but

[rose jewel]

What if your friends are the toxic asses

[marsh needle]

i feel likee here at least it gives ppl the option to answer only if they want

i guess its just a diff form of help

[fresh crater]

maybe wrong friends to play with
I distance myself from toxic ppl immediately

[rose jewel]

If you mean the thing in the official discord, just something they did for people to "teach mokokos" and you get a stupid seed on your name and a title in-game, completely useless and just for show

Try it if you want

[fresh crater]

title ingame is alrdy worth it xd

[indigo elm]

actually whats the condition for losing the sprout icon (in game) next to your name

[rose jewel]

I didn't buy the last title with the Moko medals, I won't buy this one, useless stuff

[fresh crater]

1640 or 30 days playtime i think

1640 for sure, because i instantly lost mine then

[rose jewel]

1620+ or X time passes, like 3 months or something

[fresh crater]

but you still have party finder mokoko then

[rose jewel]

Not sure if they changed the time stuff

[fresh crater]

collectibles, gotta have everything XD

[rose jewel]

Or maybe I'm trolling but 1620 is guaranteed you lose it

[rose jewel]

No, fuck that

[fresh crater]

i was alrdy unsure if i should start lost ark, because i missed out on too much time limited collectibles, but i said fck it

usually i wouldnt start a game if i missed so much

[indigo elm]

1620 is essentially 1640 with challenge express so it makes sense

[fresh crater]

even without challenge express xd

since at 1620 you can just do fortress

[indigo elm]

oh so it just gives you the gear without having to do the dungeon ic

[fresh crater]

yeah but i think you still need to do it for a quest

main quest

it like tells you to do fortress iirc

[rose jewel]

You can skip that

[fresh crater]

oh

[indigo elm]

from my understanding the gear prog is basically t3 1620 → fortress for 1640 then you craft ancient gear from the 1660 raid

or well not fortress cuz it just gives it to you

[livid fossil]

bad. News with bad. News. Charger malfunction which caused my port to melt. So week for the part to come in

[fresh crater]

yeah ik that one

[indigo elm]

is it 30k unbound or bound

[fresh crater]

but i didnt know you can ignore the quest

[west valley]

ur talking about doing south/north kurazan?

[fresh crater]

north, the quest that tels you to go into fortress

[rose jewel]

Yes that's it for the current prog, then adv hone on the side but not before they nerf it for us

[fresh crater]

what exactly is the nerf anyway? like less gold cost? higher %? less mats?

[rose jewel]

50% less mats, 20% less gold

[fresh crater]

i just saw an overview table of the comparison, that is crazy

2.4m shards pre nerf, 1.2m after

for 11 to 20

assuming realistic scenario or maybe it was worst case not sure

either way, very efficient in comparion

russia roadmap is alrdy out, you think our times would be similar for release?

[vast oriole]

we dont know

but last roadmap we had the same than them

[fresh crater]

russia roadmap is:

April: Balance patch / QoL

May: Rimeria and Act 3 - The raid will open on June 4th, but will be in the May patch.

June: Post raid quests / new island

[vast oriole]

ye

[fresh crater]

but not sure if ah nerf is part of balance/qol or not

[vast oriole]

we dont know

thats why we are hoping our roadmap will be more detailed

[fresh crater]

would be nice

[rose jewel]

Being honest, I like ru roadmap, super simple and to the point

Minimalist

[vast oriole]

i dont like it

because rimeria in may

i just hope we know when ah nerfs comes for us

i need to save gold for that

[livid fossil]

Let’s play will I beat g3 before rimeria or after

[turbid flame]

just.... beat the raid

[lavish mortar]

Bet

[vale parrot]

hey, is anybody interested on helping me with akkan hardmode? i want the pet but i dont have the achievement, it'll be the next reset,

[lavish mortar]

Surely before

[turbid flame]

don't get mokoko tokens from akkan tho

😏

[lavish mortar]

When? I can help

[vale parrot]

the next reset

cuz i already did akkan in solo XD

[vale parrot]

[lavish mortar]

Ye, NAE

just let me know roughly when you'd want to do it, and i'd be happy to help

[vale parrot]

idk

maybe wednesday is ok for you?

we'll need 6 more people

[winter lantern]

Hey everyone, i returned to lost ark this week after about a year. My main char was a 1580 pred slayer. Now after I returned i feel like i deal less dmg than before after getting all the new engravings/stats etc right. Did they nerf pred slayer or did the new changes lower dmg overall?

[vast oriole]

ok so

[vale parrot]

have you check your accesories

?

[vast oriole]

if you dont have legendary books, you deal less dmg

[vale parrot]

are they refined?

[vast oriole]

but old bosses in t3 got hp nerfed

[winter lantern]

I got all on legi

[vast oriole]

so it shoulnt be a big deal

you prob lack a lot of points

in both tree in ark passive

[winter lantern]

Yeah i got the first three tiers in the first tree and not even 3 on the enlightment tree

[vast oriole]

you will need the enlightment potions

in codex

[winter lantern]

Are those hard to get

[vast oriole]

at 1580 idk if you have access to even 1 actually

not really

[vale parrot]

kinda

[vast oriole]

1 is boss

1 is una task some days

1 is kurzan tome

tome is the easiest imo

[vale parrot]

more like every day xd

[rose jewel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad7xL5eSpOo

[winter lantern]

North kuzan?

[vast oriole]

yes i meant its few days

it could be any other day, so, just let me know

[lavish mortar]

[vale parrot]

sure thanks for the help

[fresh crater]

is there a way to better deal with multiplayer raids? i sometimes get hit by patterns that i just dont see because there is too much going on on the screen with all the abilities and ppl

[vast oriole]

in the settings

anyone ingame to screenshot where it is? XD

[spiral wyvern]

which one of these do I go for? my main is Artist :u

[turbid flame]

check pins

do you have LWC 30?

[spiral wyvern]

[turbid flame]

LWC

not LoS

[spiral wyvern]

oh, it's 24

[fresh crater]

is it this?

was on all effects before

[vast oriole]

yeah

do the option

''party buff''

you wills ee only yours

and the buffs from support

you can also change opacity of the skills

[fresh crater]

so like this?

[vast oriole]

yea

[fresh crater]

Ok, thy

just died on aegir circle arena, because i couldnt see shit

xd

[winter lantern]

Im not ingame rn does anyone know what you need for the 20 akkan eyes trade at the vendor?

[fresh crater]

is ally effects off standard or should i rather get used to working with all displayed?

[vast oriole]

i use ally effect since beginning of the game

[fresh crater]

hm maybe i could try gettting used to everything with effects off and then put it back on later, its just annoying if i dont see telegraphs
