[sudden coral]

Why are life skill mats so expensive now? I had a bunch stocked up from farming WTLs and sold 200k worth

actually stonk

everything is so much gold

[manic quarry]

just market things

life mats are very much valued

[rose wren]

t4 and earning more

[manic quarry]

for fusions

[rose wren]

still ever inflated tho

[vast oriole]

because bots gets banned

[sudden coral]

hmmmmmmmmmm

[vast oriole]

and because new advanced honing comes next week so people need orehas

[sudden coral]

o nice

didnt rimeria come out last week? y they stagger

[vast oriole]

yes

next week is new raid

they delay new continent and 2 weeks after new raid

so people take their time doing all stories and shits

they do the same in korea sine a long time now

[sudden coral]

but i duno if i should adv hone the last armor piece + weapon

[vast oriole]

as u want

just dont stay in t3 just to advance hone

it was nerfed a lot so doing it in t4 isnt bad at all

[sudden coral]

oh nice

my enlightenment is a lil sad thoug hi need to catch up on that

im missing like 3 passives on the first tree

[pure basin]

spent 223k to hone from 1585 to 1620, maxroll lies

[vast oriole]

i mean

isnt that the average?

[pure basin]

yeah.... 70k over is wild tho

[turbid flame]

check the price if you full pity everything

[sudden coral]

1580 to 1620 looks so bad to hone through

as new player

[vast oriole]

this is average

[turbid flame]

it can vary quite a bit

[vast oriole]

its 10k below average

[pure basin]

nvm avg is 200k...

[vast oriole]

(it was 500k+ before nerf btw)

[pure basin]

doesnt make me feel any better 😭

[vast oriole]

i mean

you did below average

its a W in my book

[pure basin]

i guess thats what i get for hitting a relic adrenaline the other day...

[vast oriole]

WELL

i mean you honed with more luck than average

im confused

XD

[turbid flame]

they didn't 1 tap every single item, clearly bugged

[pure basin]

oh i had a lot of tailoring/metallurgy books, so i had it for every tap

[vast oriole]

oh

then yeah you were a bit higher than average

[pure basin]

oh just realized thats missing +13 but yeah it wouldve been like 200k

[lavish mortar]

books are fake

[pure basin]

deadzone still real ‼️

[vast oriole]

i mean yeah

i with it was only silver

and remopve orehas

but eh

im not smilegate

[turbid flame]

it's significantly better than it was before

[pure basin]

i was trying to be a good sumeritan and hone my supp to t4 to help.... instant regret

[vast oriole]

theres no sup shortage tho

[lavish mortar]

there's too many supps

[vast oriole]

especially not at 1640

[lavish mortar]

you're makign it worse

[turbid flame]

btw, here's an example screenshot

[pure basin]

💀

[turbid flame]

you complain about spending 200k

[vast oriole]

XDDDDD

[turbid flame]

but it was quite a bit worse 2 weeks ago

[lavish mortar]

oh well idc about 1640s
deny em all

[vast oriole]

you would deny my cutie aero?

[lavish mortar]

yes

especially cuz you're eu

[vast oriole]

sad

im not

[lavish mortar]

either way crit syn is barely a DPS gain for me
and makes it very annoying

[vast oriole]

but im cute

well my aero is cute

[lavish mortar]

goat costume or denied, better?

i want more argos skins 😦

[vast oriole]

ah no

i dont use those ugly skins

[pure basin]

[vast oriole]

[turbid flame]

[merry trail]

[rose wren]

also gain cardpacks from there

[obsidian valve]

wonder if they'll ever let us feed them some other type of food

[rose jewel]

feed them the demons you kill on a daily basis

[obsidian valve]

hm decisions, decisions

[cosmic plover]

hey guys. how long does mokoko icon last?

[turbid flame]

[obsidian valve]

wonder how high it goes next patch

[turbid flame]

[rose wren]

[vast oriole]

i think i chose leaps

[sterile sonnet]

any voice chatters out there that would want to assist a returning player?

[obsidian valve]

yep i did, tired of card collecting anyways

for the moment

[obsidian valve]

idk, i was taking a honing break, but i guess took it anyways to save for later

[robust iron]

[dull leaf]

[upper urchin]

[flint elk]

Only up to the skill potion

Then it’s for fun

[jagged zinc]

world tree leaf

[maiden locust]

[livid fossil]

yeah

[robust iron]

this quest isnt showing up for me

[rose jewel]

if youre looking on the SEARCH tab, that thing doesnt work

[robust iron]

im at the location but the purple quest isnt there

[rose jewel]

track it

if you even have it accepted

[robust iron]

havent accepted it

[rose jewel]

did you finish the pre req quest

[robust iron]

yeah i think so

[rose jewel]

again

SEARCH does NOT work

[robust iron]

when i press locate it takes me the abidos garrison map

yesyes and i was at the location where the npc is but the quest line isnt there

[paper walrus]

started on another character, bastian or sasha is unavailable, or you're in the middle of nk story

[robust iron]

OOOH thats it

it was started on my alt

[rose jewel]

checking the codex and that would be why

[robust iron]

🙏 thank you

[maiden locust]

maybe im a little slow but i dont see where i can give it to him..

[paper walrus]

its not an exchange

[west valley]

theres a vendor in a city with the icon

[paper walrus]

you need all 3 parts to craft it

[west valley]

of the leaf iirc

[paper walrus]

and also you're at the wrong npc

[west valley]

wait

are u guys talking about to upgrade the charm?

[rose wren]

no, they got a outfit

something new from rimi

[maiden locust]

oh pft i like never do rapport until now so idk what to do lol

[rose jewel]

yanfei outfit for a single leaf

[maiden locust]

thats where im at

[paper walrus]

its not a rapport thing

[rose jewel]

each npc has its own thing

[lavish mortar]

if you scroll to the bottom here
https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/world-tree-leaf-collectibles-guide

[rose jewel]

some are useless, some are items for other things

[lavish mortar]

it'is #67

[maiden locust]

oh so its like multiple things for 67

the dress was just one of them?

[paper walrus]

yes

you need all 3 parts to craft it

its for wtl, which looking at your collection, you dont care about

so just chuck it in storage to collect dust

oh wait you're new

[maiden locust]

no thanks

[paper walrus]

maybe you do

[rose jewel]

why not

[obsidian valve]

valid

[autumn belfry]

wha do I choose in here

[pure basin]

doesnt really matter they all give 10k rapport points

[manic quarry]

anything except for crown

[rose jewel]

the beer

its always the beer

[lavish mortar]

Flower one is technically best

You need the flower rapport items for cooking in rimeria

[rose jewel]

you what

wtf

[manic quarry]

yeah

[rose jewel]

not like i care but wtf

[manic quarry]

like what is this shit

good thing i held leg rapport boxes

wheeze

[rose wren]

i probably could exchange more than required, barely used

[wooden swallow]

Is T4 Aero Drizzle or WF?

[livid fossil]

I f mine ever makes it to t4 it will be drizzle

[paper walrus]

both are aero, drizzle is the spec build and wf is the crit/swift build

[wooden swallow]

Thanks boo.

I was asking which was meta.

lmao

[paper walrus]

hands

[vagrant veldt]

Both are similar

[candid lake]

^

My friend and I are basically neck and neck

with same gems and i level

But I always win b/c I sweat on WF :>

[vagrant veldt]

Drizzle, like most Spec builds, fits better into the mech/burst pattern, but WF has plenty good damage and also really good synergy buffs

[candid lake]

Although I heard Drizzle is slightly better in t4

[rose jewel]

play whichever

[candid lake]

While WF was slightly better than drizzle in t3

but

shit changes

One of the best classes in 1 patch could be one of the worst in the future 🤷

[vagrant veldt]

Maybe they release pure uptime DPS check raid in the future

[candid lake]

Isn't that mordum

kind of

in g3

[vagrant veldt]

Fair

[candid lake]

But yeah

I think breaker (Brawl king) was considered good (?) when it released

and now a bunch of people think it's shit

idk

[wooden swallow]

Because it was and now it is.

[paper walrus]

so you know why theres no reason to find out if one is meta or not

[wooden swallow]

I can afford to do some meta chasing

[candid lake]

But then again some things never change

Like co summoner

I heard the revamp didn't do much in terms of DMG

One thing I didn't expect to improve a lot was reflux sorc

[fallen canyon]

16/24 mi ssb wf or get hands, hit all skills if drizzle

[wooden swallow]

Sorry, English please.

[fallen canyon]

u asked for meta

i gave it to u

[wooden swallow]

I honestly have no clue what you said

[fallen canyon]

[maiden locust]

Hi, I am new to the game, I have a [Artillerist] Barrage Enhacement Recipe (a single purple book recipe) and the character can't learn it. It says "cannot interact with the target" when I try to learn the engraving

[turbid flame]

Dismantle it

that's an old system, no longer relevant

[maiden locust]

how do I unlock a barrage enhacement engraving then? the build recommends that engraving effect

[turbid flame]

in ark passive

it's not really an engraving anymore, it's just built into ark passive

[maiden locust]

https://mobalytics.gg/lost-ark/classes/artillerist/barrage-enhancement-pve-raid-build-guide so this build is outdated? it says that its an engraving

[turbid flame]

use that

i'm honestly surprised Mobalytics even covers lost ark

but i'd trust Maxroll over them even

but the google doc is the best

[autumn belfry]

any reason why I cant craft it

[strange viper]

bound gold probably

[autumn belfry]

can it not be bound gound?

[strange viper]

nope

[turbid flame]

?boundoreha

[buoyant dock]

Why can't I craft Oreha? I have all the materials!
You don't have the correct type of gold. To craft tradeable items (including Oreha), you need to pay the crafting cost with Unbound gold. The alternative way to craft Orehas with Bound gold is to unlock the farm at Stronghold level 10 and craft bound Orehas with the farm materials.
-# You can check what activities drop unbound gold with ?gold

[summer thunder]

I should use this up right?

[turbid flame]

I mean, could save you a lot of mats

you can convert them up, but at a lower amount

[summer thunder]

wym a lot of mats?

that'll just save me one pull right? xd

[turbid flame]

it's basically a free tap

yes, but what if you hit?

then you won't have to pay to get 18->19 normally

[summer thunder]

v unlikely

[turbid flame]

then don't do it

dunno what to tell you

[summer thunder]

does it increase artisan energy doing it?

[turbid flame]

no

[summer thunder]

darn

will it show me the % chance when I press the special honing button?

[turbid flame]

yes

[summer thunder]

k thx

wth

that's so bad

[turbid flame]

well yes, it's the base amount, without any increases

[summer thunder]

who came up w this?

[summer thunder]

wym, how do I increase this?

[turbid flame]

you don't

[summer thunder]

xd

I swear we speak different languages...

[turbid flame]

I'm not speaking, I am typing. 🙂

[summer thunder]

never doing that again

[turbid flame]

wdym... they're just free taps, why wouldn't you do it if you had the mats

[summer thunder]

I pitty the coder that put that into the game

[turbid flame]

[summer thunder]

I'm down to my last 8 gold...

[turbid flame]

rip u

[west valley]

whats your ilevel?

[west valley]

https://tenor.com/view/struggle-austin-powers-driving-chaos-gif-1586874032517112331

[summer thunder]

I refuse to spend my tradeable gold

that's only for relic tools

[turbid flame]

Let me guess... there's an achievement for getting all relic tools, isn't there?

[summer thunder]

yea ofc

Need 90k gold for 6 relic tools

so I'm over halfway there

Ok looks like it's time to kill Thaemine again...

@turbid flame is this u?

[turbid flame]

no?

[summer thunder]

I'm DPS right?

So I can join that guy

[turbid flame]

I..... yes, sorc is dps

[summer thunder]

k perfect

[turbid flame]

gl filling

[summer thunder]

I hope it's same as solo mode

[turbid flame]

it's not

similar, but some diffs

[summer thunder]

my dmg should overcome the differences

[turbid flame]

If you say so 🙂

[west valley]

my man u barely clear thaemine solo and you want to try a group >.> ... its way different than just fyi then what u normally have tried. Tbf i dont even know if you tried anything group yet? lol

[summer thunder]

I've heard groups are 10x easier than solo mode

[turbid flame]

no

solo mode is omega easy

[summer thunder]

plus this guy is 1670 so we should fly through it

[west valley]

you are on some omega copium if you think like that

[turbid flame]

and as I said many times, the damage check in solo modes is.... not much at all

yet you repeatedly hit berzerk

your damage isn't as hot as you think it is

but, this is a help channel, so that's all I'll say

[summer thunder]

I hit berzerk because I'm trying to save potions by avoiding all the attacks

[west valley]

let me give you a scenario for g2 engima in a raid group.. you're party 2 and #5 of the group where is your postion (right or left and which corner) and when do you counter?

[summer thunder]

Do you guys craft potions?

[turbid flame]

no, they just give out more than I could ever use

[summer thunder]

which HP potion do you select in the chest?

[summer thunder]

dang

[turbid flame]

have about 1000 hp pot chests in storage as well

[summer thunder]

do you raid at all or just do chaos dungeons?

[turbid flame]

yeah?

[summer thunder]

ah makes sense

[turbid flame]

why would I talk about things I had 0 clue about? like how solo modes have very lenient damage checks

[summer thunder]

you know the theory

[turbid flame]

I don't

[west valley]

teach us oh wise one..

[summer thunder]

no I mean
there are people that know theory and people that know practical in life

same w raids

[west valley]

where do you fit in?

[summer thunder]

ik the practical, since I've killed thaemine 2x already...

[turbid flame]

i'd recommend looking up a guide, if you're attempting to just jump in to normal mode, and there aren't people there to carry

[summer thunder]

plus you can tell from my potions that I raid a lot:

[turbid flame]

yeaok

[west valley]

nah i can see if those potions was alcohol i'd say you either A didnt have much to begin with or B an alcoholic

[summer thunder]

This party wants to split into 2 groups lol

[west valley]

what are you referring too?

[vagrant veldt]

i have almost 600 green pots which i dont really even use anymore so theyre just sitting there

[vagrant veldt]

this game is built in "parties" which are groups of 4, so if a raid has 8 players then it has to be split in two

(most late game raids are 8man groups)

[summer thunder]

If I use balthor once in a raid, can I use it again?

[vagrant veldt]

the only raid you cant reuse is theamine

i think?

[west valley]

depends the raid

[summer thunder]

Thaemine gate 1

looks like I was able to use again

[vagrant veldt]

theres a big dramatic animation and it crosses out the icon so you will know if youre able to reuse or not right away

[west valley]

you use it once at pre basement and another time at basement for example.. shouldnt be using it more than that. if you're juicep probably just 1x pre-basement.

[summer thunder]

this for elixirs?

[vagrant veldt]

for transcendence

[summer thunder]

ah I only use the tickets for trans

[vagrant veldt]

yeah if you did the event on this character then you dont really need them

[fallen jasper]

This is just a mechanic on thaemine. You use each sidereal once. Unless it's 4-2 Kadan, then you can use as many as you want

[summer thunder]

when u guys say thaemine, I think u mean Thaemine gate 3

[vagrant veldt]

probably

[west valley]

@summer thunder do you have any selector books for legendary?

[summer thunder]

legendary what?

[vagrant veldt]

books

engraves

[fallen jasper]

1-4 , unless 4-2

[summer thunder]

card books?

or engraving books?

[west valley]

engravings

[summer thunder]

I'm not sure

maybe in my bank

[west valley]

if your sorc is your main class you should double check and get your books all to relic level. It will effet your damage as well slightly.

[summer thunder]

why which book do you need @west valley?

[summer thunder]

oh yea my friend did that for me

[west valley]

but you have unfinished work is what im saying even if he "did that for you"

[vagrant veldt]

itll be like +3% dmg per

[summer thunder]

this looks just like my character lol

[vagrant veldt]

i think it is

[west valley]

thats because it is your characterlol.

[summer thunder]

how'd you do that?

[west valley]

you think im mentioning this for nothing? duh its u man and im giving you advice.

[turbid flame]

Are you helping them clear Thaemine?

[west valley]

focus at the task at hand.. go check your bank "for books" upgrade those books if you can.

[vagrant veldt]

grand prix event shop sells 45 leg books for super cheap too rn

[west valley]

who you asking?

[summer thunder]

they kicked me after I told them we should group together instead of splitting up

[turbid flame]

You

[summer thunder]

I don't think they were v familiar w the raid tbh

[west valley]

nah.. i already gave him a test drive.. to much effort.. i'll lose the hair i have or get more gray hair.. this man legit made my arm twitch cause of his personality.. im not going thru that again.

[summer thunder]

I already have too much dmg for thaemine

I kill this guy so easily

[west valley]

who is "they" btw?

[turbid flame]

Nice joke

[summer thunder]

the party I joined

[turbid flame]

Hit berserk repeatedly = I already have too much dmg

[west valley]

thats not what it look like last week.. you complaining about I BEST kill this guy after 3-4hours of posting vids of your struggles.. "easily" lmfao you're completely kekw.

[summer thunder]

ever since I got this skill, I never use potions and never hit berkerk

[vagrant veldt]

struggling on theamine isnt like a diss btw its a really hard boss

[west valley]

this is why i cant teach someone like that pure ragebait at its finest.

[summer thunder]

Had to figure that one out through the school of hard knocks

no one told me, no video mentioned it, nothing
just good ol' trial and error

[west valley]

thats something you cannot use in a raid party btw.. its a system added for solo players to "get by" and you want to try party format after drinking so many pots. you'd probably beg your sups to shield /heal you more. then complain if you die that your sup didnt keep you alive.

[turbid flame]

That's not even the best one though

also, you could always ask about which is the best

nobody is going to hold your hand for every aspect of the game, especially since you're insufferable at times

[summer thunder]

I asked u guys and you all said stagger

[turbid flame]

I never once said that

[vagrant veldt]

im scared to do the spacebar one because im worried i will get used to the timing and misuse my spacebar in group raids

[west valley]

just letting you know.. u use it.. i dont , do you see the difference?

[summer thunder]

I've determined that half the advice on here ends of being to my detriment, but in the long run it has made be a better player

so that fine

[turbid flame]

Run! is the best imo cause it lets you recover from mistakes more often, i.e. if you spacebar, then "need" to spacebar again to avoid a one shot, the extra shield won't help you vs being more mobile

[west valley]

"all" damn every person seemed to have given you bad advice as you claim.. wild you think like this.

[leaden pendant]

Can I romance blackfang?

[turbid flame]

yes

later on

only to trusted though, not affection

[leaden pendant]

Dang

I heared you can marry these NPC? or was that just a joke?

[turbid flame]

Thirain, Sasha, Ealyn, Nineveh are the four that you can reach affection level with iirc

[leaden pendant]

I see

[vagrant veldt]

yeah thats what im worried about

[summer thunder]

Reflux must get a damage boost from this shield or something because it's insane how OP I am now

[vagrant veldt]

no youre just avoiding floor pov dps loss

[strange viper]

where is the Yorn Neria romance option..

[summer thunder]

oh yea and I absorb damage instead of getting knocked back it seems

[turbid flame]

T R U.

[leaden pendant]

So this a thing or no?

[summer thunder]

but I see why u guys didn't tell me about this
It forced me to learn the mechanics the hard way

[turbid flame]

uh, don't think you can officially marry any npcs, just the cutscenes for hitting affection

quit ragebaiting, please

[leaden pendant]

Ah I see

[west valley]

this is why i cant take him serious anymore.

[leaden pendant]

Volcanic eruption and guiltoine are my main damage options on Slayer r?

[summer thunder]

who just sent me this?

[strange viper]

+brutal impact

[turbid flame]

read the name

[vagrant veldt]

me when i dont read who the sender is

[summer thunder]

I left my raid just to open the mail smh...

[leaden pendant]

Is that something other then combat skill?

Cause I have unlocked all combat skills

[turbid flame]

you prob get it when you get your awakening

[summer thunder]

It's prob DBB, he has 12 Pallys

[turbid flame]

read... the name

I trust you can read

[vagrant veldt]

me when i dont read who the sender is

[west valley]

has to be an imposter, 8^)

you should be greatful you have more gold

[strange viper]

it is literaly slayers highest dmg skill

[west valley]

that kind soul.

[summer thunder]

Lost Ark and discord names don't correspond... smh

[vagrant veldt]

they do

[leaden pendant]

Oh recomended skill now finally leveld every skill to 7 and suddenly everything got fancy

[vagrant veldt]

but you have to read a level deeper

[turbid flame]

10 hones till 1620

[vagrant veldt]

you are selecting the tripods on skills as you put points into them yes?

[summer thunder]

u should really send me the 40k tradeable gold that you had me turn into bound

[vagrant veldt]

how did you do that

[leaden pendant]

I keep this r?

[west valley]

skill issue. give me back the 7 hours i wasted then ill think about it.

[summer thunder]

He had me buy the new Una's tokens w my old ones...

[leaden pendant]

Yes

that's why they getting fancy

[vagrant veldt]

indeed

[vagrant veldt]

its where like

half of your damage comes from

[turbid flame]

No

[leaden pendant]

yeah

[turbid flame]

don't keep that stone

that's garbo

can try to cut it just for the vitality

but it's... bad

[vagrant veldt]

stone is not good but if you dont have any other stone may as well cut it and put it on

[summer thunder]

LA support hasn't been v accommodating so far and since I honed through my bound gold my request no longer makes sense...

[leaden pendant]

All stones in general or that one cause it's bad

[leaden pendant]

How I do that

I got it from secret dungeon

[vagrant veldt]

Ability Stone NPC in cities

[turbid flame]

that one cause it's bad.

[vagrant veldt]

wait are you combat lv 50 yet?

[leaden pendant]

no

40

[vagrant veldt]

then its a nvern problem im afraid

well this one isnt its very bad

but ability stones in general

[turbid flame]

so, you know how your guide has engravings listed?

[leaden pendant]

Also got this

[leaden pendant]

Me?

[turbid flame]

yes

[leaden pendant]

Hold on lemme find them again

[turbid flame]

or are you not following a guide yet

so, i'll give an example

[leaden pendant]

For that stone?

[turbid flame]

that's my stone

[vagrant veldt]

event stone

[leaden pendant]

I see

[turbid flame]

you want a stone that goes with engravings you use

[west valley]

have they replied or not?

[turbid flame]

which I use both of those

[leaden pendant]

Ah in the middle?

[turbid flame]

awakening is mostly supports, and crisis is.... bad

yes

[leaden pendant]

Says facet required

[vagrant veldt]

contender lightning?

[leaden pendant]

That's what I do with NPC

[turbid flame]

yes

[vagrant veldt]

yes

[turbid flame]

see the very bottom line?

the stones levels add just bonus effects

depending on the engraving

[leaden pendant]

I see

[leaden pendant]

Only good options I have rn tbh

[turbid flame]

you'll get more soon™️

just gotta complete n vern

[vagrant veldt]

nvern 🙂

[leaden pendant]

Necromancy and drops of ether are the other two

Lightning nice cause big damage

[vagrant veldt]

drops i think better than lightning i think?

[leaden pendant]

and contendor nice cause more dmg

[turbid flame]

prob, but also annoying to collect them

solo

[vagrant veldt]

oh thats fair

[leaden pendant]

I just got them from random side quests

[turbid flame]

games basically a chaos dungeon at that point

so

[leaden pendant]

the books

[turbid flame]

[vagrant veldt]

fair enough cd engraves

[turbid flame]

ye

[leaden pendant]

This I put into storage and wait

[vagrant veldt]

well you dont technically need to wait on those you can use them on whatever engraves your build is asking for

[leaden pendant]

Well

CB lv 50

[vagrant veldt]

i cant read 🙂

[leaden pendant]

Predator playstyle is similar to berserker r?

[vagrant veldt]

playing sorc?

ah slayer

[leaden pendant]

Slayer

[vagrant veldt]

predator is the high uptime skill spam version where you just maintain buff

punisher is the builder spender burst one

[leaden pendant]

yeah I'll go for pred

Seems more fun

[vagrant veldt]

both are good

[leaden pendant]

I got bambozzled last time

used burst mode

and two hits. Cutscene...

[vagrant veldt]

it does happen during story content

[leaden pendant]

Yeah

I guess during dungeons too if phase transition or some type of invincibility phase?

[vagrant veldt]

i play mostly burst builds and have a bad habit of oneshotting story bosses since im also really ahead on horizontal from like 2 years ago

[vagrant veldt]

i dont know how much you want me to get into game theory on builds

[leaden pendant]

I'll listen for a bit

[vagrant veldt]

but basically phase transitions are generally fairly predictable (think dark souls health thresholds) so burst builds are considered favorable because you can just wait out the transition before bursting

[leaden pendant]

So with pred I just gotta know when bosses do things

and only start burst mode at start of phase basically

[vagrant veldt]

well you should know either way

[leaden pendant]

so I have more time in it

[leaden pendant]

Well yes

[vagrant veldt]

pred isnt the burst mode one tho

[leaden pendant]

but a bit more I guess

Fury mode mb

[summer thunder]

no they never even replied

[leaden pendant]

where you try to stay in fury mode as long as possible

[west valley]

Try again maybe they get 100's and missed yours.

[strange viper]

predator stays in burst mode longer, but if for any reason you couldnt keep it up you get heavily punished and have to wait a long time before you can go burst mode again.

[turbid flame]

yeah, bosses in this game, instead of having just 1 big hp bar, it's divided into whatever amount the devs decide

[leaden pendant]

That I don't understand why

[turbid flame]

and then they plan it so like, oh, x mech happens at #y bars remaining

[summer thunder]

I just one shot gate 1 and 2 of thaemine lol

[leaden pendant]

why not make one big health bar

[vagrant veldt]

its a korean thing i think

thats waht they were saying back in 2020 at least

[turbid flame]

because when a raid has a lot of big mechanics, easier to remember bar #s than specific hp values, imo

or %s

[summer thunder]

I'm going to have to much freetime on my hands

[leaden pendant]

I'm assuming my dash is for mobility purpose?

[vagrant veldt]

spacebar dash or?

[leaden pendant]

Wild rush

[vagrant veldt]

guide says its mobility skill so yes

[turbid flame]

here's an example,

[leaden pendant]

Okay

[turbid flame]

easier to know that at those hp levels, something big happens, imo

as opposed to looking for a % hp

[leaden pendant]

Fair I guess

[turbid flame]

also, imo, helps you see how good your making progress

a lot easier to see hey, you're 60 bars in on a 300+ hp bar boss

as opposed to bar just being a bit shorter

but that's just my garbo brain 🤪

[leaden pendant]

I mean depends on what you're used to I guess like I never seen it like this so it seems out of place

[vagrant veldt]

you get used to it

i glance at the healthbar above the boss' head if i want to know how far through the raid i am, and at the x100 or whatever number at the top to anticipate mechs

[leaden pendant]

Blackfang is a shadow assasin?

[turbid flame]

she a pirate

[vagrant veldt]

blackfang affection rapport when

[leaden pendant]

Well yes but the cutscene looked like that class

[turbid flame]

lol, did the basement clash in g3 Thae and he just died after one q

[vagrant veldt]

this game doesnt have a class by that name

[leaden pendant]

Something with shadow

in assasin type

[vagrant veldt]

shadowhunter like

[turbid flame]

shadowhunter?

[vagrant veldt]

transforms into a demon

[leaden pendant]

ye

[turbid flame]

they turn into dem demons

[leaden pendant]

that one

[vagrant veldt]

well i guess ps sh exists

does anyone play that one?

[turbid flame]

sure

[vagrant veldt]

crit/swift classes my beloved

[summer thunder]

wth is this?

[turbid flame]

LOL

[summer thunder]

is this guy charging me for this level 1 gem?

[turbid flame]

yes

[vagrant veldt]

holy

[leaden pendant]

Is that bad?

[summer thunder]

yes, a sign of mental illness

[vagrant veldt]

its funny more than anything i think

[turbid flame]

theoretically you could sell it for more

[vagrant veldt]

wait how much are lv1 t3 gems going for

[turbid flame]

level 2 is 100g

so level 1 would be a third of that

[leaden pendant]

Burn it

[west valley]

its worth more gold in the market if you're good at math you can check the pricing. you'd make more.

[leaden pendant]

Volcanic eruption goes crazy

[turbid flame]

hey, wanna know a secret thing that's a bit fun?

[leaden pendant]

Playing main story?

[vagrant veldt]

how is that secret

[turbid flame]

debatable

if you go to trixion, if you have access to the like, training, you can test out abilities you'll get really far away

[leaden pendant]

It's so old content it can be seen as secret

[leaden pendant]

?

[turbid flame]

?

[leaden pendant]

.

Aight I'll leave got it

[turbid flame]

?

I mean, like that brutal impact spell

and hyper awakenings

[summer thunder]

don't do that

major spoilers

[turbid flame]

I mean, if they're looking at a guide, it already lists what the spells are

and I wasn't telling them to do it, just that it is a thing that can happen

[proven helm]

Hey guys, I’m a returning player after 1+ year, 1460 gear. Feeling pretty lost after logging in. What should I be doing now? Any guides or tips?

[turbid flame]

wait

come back when there's an express event

[turbid flame]

1460.. do you have relic Valtan / Vykas gear?

[strange viper]

the game is the same as it was a year ago, keep honing until you can do higher content, then hone some more

[summer thunder]

where's the button to convert these?

[turbid flame]

you can't

[merry trail]

Just got a max roll for Combat Resource Natural Recovery. Does it do anything besides improve mana regen?

[turbid flame]

because those are T2

[summer thunder]

these guys...

[turbid flame]

can we please not complain, or make remarks like that, to every single thing that you don't like that they do?

[summer thunder]

yes

[proven helm]

Tbh, I used a Powerpass to get to 1460 back then, so I don’t think I ever really understood the game.

Slayer had just been released and there was a Powerpass event going on.

[strange viper]

well at your level you can go do solo valtan and vykas, or you can hone to 1475 to do kakul (which can be skipped) or hone to 1490 and do brel for a few weeks. Brel drops items you need to craft the next higher level gear.

[vagrant veldt]

afraid not

[leaden pendant]

Don't have those yet

I just ment I like the volcanic skill

Cause it looks cool

[turbid flame]

I know, I was saying, in trixion you can test and see what spells you get in the future, if you're curious

:^)

[leaden pendant]

Ah I see

Thanks

Can I use the purple ones and below?

[summer thunder]

you only want legendary cards

[leaden pendant]

Well yes

but for now

[turbid flame]

uhh, wrong

there are plenty of sets that use non-leggo cards

save selectors, use random packs

[leaden pendant]

Is there a cd one?

[leaden pendant]

I only have these I think

[turbid flame]

don't believe so

[summer thunder]

should I destroy these?

[turbid flame]

if they're bound, yea, don't think you can upgrade them

[leaden pendant]

So what now?

[vagrant veldt]

the orange quest is done

well not done but like

you dont actively progress the orange quest anymore

you can stop tracking it, now the blue quests with the globe icon are the main story quests

[leaden pendant]

So I can do what I want?

Huh I thought main story was getting the arks?

[vagrant veldt]

it is

but like you get the arks over the course of doing blue quests now

[leaden pendant]

I see

So home in danger is new one

And sailing basics is like a guide

[vagrant veldt]

that seems about right

[patent merlin]

where can i get more of this beside events?

[vagrant veldt]

normally the guide quests are a different color so im not sure wat exactly is up

but yeah home in danger is the story

(and you can go to the quests menu and unfollow the orange quest, it will turn back on when it needs to)

[leaden pendant]

Did that already

[slim beacon]

can anyone confirm if u need to do rimeria to enter mordum or its not needed ?

[slim beacon]

mari shop

[patent merlin]

ty

[leaden pendant]

Should I get these?

[turbid flame]

not totally needed

you should work on Arkesia Tour as you progress

it'll give you some like those

[summer thunder]

this no longer gives everyone's % damage?

[turbid flame]

don't think it ever did

[tired slate]

are the trade skill drops higher than in abidos?

[turbid flame]

think it's moreso the fact you can get T4 mats

[tired slate]

so it doesnt matter?

[vagrant veldt]

does pred slayer run cj?

[turbid flame]

if you want t4 mats, you should farm in t4 areas

[tired slate]

basically as soon as you're in a zone that drops t4 you get the same amount? abidos is a t4 zone

[turbid flame]

yeah, afaik

well, you didn't ask if it's better to og to Rimeria or not

[tired slate]

ok, thx

[turbid flame]

just if it's higher in abidos

[summer thunder]

unlocking bracelets costs gold or silver?

[turbid flame]

not sure, but was moreso the fact if they're early in the game, better to save the coins, and get the C&J from arkesia tour

silver iirc

[tired slate]

ah, my bad, i completely failed to say rimeria lol. the question should have been "are the trade skill drops higher in rimeria than in abidos" 😄

[vagrant veldt]

do you get cj from tour

i think i had to go back and

doesnt matter

[turbid flame]

idr

think there's easier to get blue versions nonetheless

don't have game open to check codex

[vagrant veldt]

they drop from dungeon in yorn and feiton

[turbid flame]

yucky

[vagrant veldt]

which i think means you get them from tour maybe?

[turbid flame]

potentially

[jaunty token]

hello, im trying to get to Lagoon island for a main quest "A teardrop in the Sea" but do I have to wait till the island spawn to go there?

[turbid flame]

should be a portal on the blackfang isle

[jaunty token]

OHHH thank you

[turbid flame]

if it's the one i'm thinking of

[autumn belfry]

?boundgold

hmm

?gold

[buoyant dock]

except tis

😭

[summer thunder]

1 pull thaemine gate 3 LOLL

Let's gooo!

ok what now?

[turbid flame]

go t4

[summer thunder]

how?

[turbid flame]

you've completed N. Kurzan, right?

[dull leaf]

North kurzan msq

[summer thunder]

I'm guessing this?

[turbid flame]

yes

[summer thunder]

ok cool, I'll do that after reset

[turbid flame]

then you'll be able to do T4's version of chaos dungeon, and a guardian that actually has parties

[autumn belfry]

Where do I repair my tools?

Like lifeskill toosl

[turbid flame]

general repair npc does that, I believe

[summer thunder]

yea finally...

[autumn belfry]

Alr

[turbid flame]

or pet, if you have crystal aura

[autumn belfry]

my W pet

[turbid flame]

you say finally, but you were sitting on 50k gold, you could've been T4 already

[autumn belfry]

Are these worth using

or naw

[turbid flame]

they're quite nice to deplete your energy fast

[autumn belfry]

Im using it to increase my logging faster

also is this axe good or should I try for another sometime

[raven pollen]

You need nowadays Thaemine 1-3 for full unlock of trans right?

[turbid flame]

ye

[raven pollen]

Ty boss

[turbid flame]

i mean, that axe isn't terrible

not bis, but not bad

[autumn belfry]

whats bis?

[summer thunder]

where'd you get that?

[autumn belfry]

Crafted it

at my stronghold

[summer thunder]

I see

[turbid flame]

bis = best in slot

[autumn belfry]

whats the bis

[autumn belfry]

then

[turbid flame]

replace durability w/ treasure pouch

p. much

[autumn belfry]

But overall pretty good

[turbid flame]

also not sure how well things rolled, never memorized the roll numbers

yeah it solid

[worldly slate]

Does hyper awakening gets affected by support buffs? Or only support T skill?

[summer thunder]

what's up w this?

[turbid flame]

something that makes things easier the first... 10 clears? of a raid

on solo mode, iirc

[summer thunder]

I see

[autumn belfry]

wheres best place for logging

thats not north kurzan

[turbid flame]

punika somewhat decent

[dull leaf]

punika doesn't give t4 mats tho

[autumn belfry]

I cant mine north kurzan

says I gotta be 1640

[turbid flame]

S. Kurzan doesn't either

[hearty kraken]

if hes not 1640 he cant get t4 mats anyway

[dull leaf]

oh

[autumn belfry]

isnt this t4

or no

[turbid flame]

yeah

[autumn belfry]

I got no use for them

[turbid flame]

you'll use em to craft fusion mats soon™️

[west charm]

does anyone know why this ring is getting auto dismantled

am i stupid

is it because it's relic?

that makes no sense

[turbid flame]

i'd assume so

[west charm]

its tier 4

[turbid flame]

think it goes from the top down

in prio

[west charm]

so now i cant auto dismantle my bad t3 ancients if i want to auto dismantle bad t4 relics

[turbid flame]

think you can set middle one to T4

[hearty kraken]

@grave spindle its here

[turbid flame]

and it'll be all T3

[west charm]

ahhhh

im dumb

[turbid flame]

i'll be honest, I am not sure of how it works exactly, I just manually dismantle everything

[outer mason]

The relic ring is getting dismantled because you put "Ancient" at the top
so all accessories that are below ancient get auto dismantled, regardless of any other parameter

Change it to "Relic"

[west charm]

got it

last time i spent all my artisan tailoring someone said it wasn't good is there a particular way i should do this?

smth to do with ancestor's grace

[spring spruce]

when you have ancestor's grace you use the bonus materials and scrolls, basically when the top right has 6 balls

[west charm]

oh really

HAHAHA

i remember spamming bonus mats?

fopr my weapon

[turbid flame]

yeah

[west charm]

even the other 3 bonus mats dont use till ancestor's grace has 6 balls?

[turbid flame]

unless you have an absurd amount of em, yea, id' wait for full pity

[west charm]

i have all these

[summer thunder]

how many times do I need to do this dungeon?

[turbid flame]

could be 1, could be 2-5

just rng

[summer thunder]

wild

[turbid flame]

just be lucky and only need to do it once

ez

[summer thunder]

why does my old gear look different when I transfer it?

[west charm]

could someone tell me what full on grace means

[turbid flame]

because the gear changes look depending on set level

[turbid flame]

when there's 6 orbs

[spring spruce]

always using bonus mats

[west charm]

@@

[turbid flame]

also, that

it means using the solars / scrolls on 6 orbs

[west charm]

what about without 6 orbs just not using them?

[turbid flame]

optimal mats is fairly close in cost to full on grace

[summer thunder]

my old gear never looked like this

looked more like this

which is the new gear...

[west charm]

hellla confused

[turbid flame]

I mean, I explained what it was

not to you, drag

what part are you confused about?

[west charm]

full on grace = only using bonus mats when there's full ancestor's grace?(6 orbs)

[turbid flame]

yes

[west charm]

okayyyy

got it

[turbid flame]

and the "optimal" one for that is also relatively close in cost

to full on grace

[turbid flame]

you powerpassed, yeaH?

[summer thunder]

yea

[turbid flame]

the Akkan gear you got, it was set level 3/3

when you gear transfer

now it's 1/3

so it's different look

[summer thunder]

But it's not

it's the 3/3 look applied to 1/3

but just a different color

whereas the T3 1/3 was totally different

[turbid flame]

sets are diff colors / looks

not sure what else you want

[summer thunder]

is it this thing?

impacting the look

[turbid flame]

yes...

[summer thunder]

so my tier 4 armor is 3/3 already?

[turbid flame]

Yes but it's also a diff armor set entirely

[spring spruce]

when you gear transferd then yes

[summer thunder]

I'm surprised my evolution hasn't gone up...

[turbid flame]

Might not have hit a new breakpoint

[summer thunder]

salvage the old gear?

[turbid flame]

Yes the ancient gear

[summer thunder]

Can I save it if I want?

[turbid flame]

I guess? No use for it tho

[summer thunder]

salvaging the staff gave me this

but it's probably useless right?

[turbid flame]

There's a vendor that trades stuff for eyes

[outer mason]

Legion Raid Exchange

[summer thunder]

this mf just dropped 1 chest...

[turbid flame]

Go again

[summer thunder]

yea this is some kind of sick joke

[outer mason]

first clear rewards of Kenuart Fortress should have given you up to 5 extra clear

[turbid flame]

I got 7 my first try 🙂

[summer thunder]

truly 0 respect for the playerbase's time, it's almost 4am rn...

[turbid flame]

Why not... sleep?

Run it at a later time

[spring spruce]

it sounds more like you have no respect for your time than the game

[turbid flame]

They just ragebait / say things like that often tbh

Anything wrong? Omg shit devs I'm writing to support to fix this immediately

[spring spruce]

yeah because iirc the worst I had to do on kenuart was 3 runs but that was in the beginning and what it took like 10 mins altogether?

[livid fossil]

Just ignore him he does a lot

[turbid flame]

Imagine the old system where you got gear drops instead of chests

[spring spruce]

imagine if it was when kr got it where you were limited to it

[dull leaf]

imagine it's rng drop with limited runs everyday

[hearty kraken]

just buy from ah

[summer thunder]

do u guys see chaos dungeon on this map? or am I blind?

[dull leaf]

kurzan front is the t4 chaos

[turbid flame]

The operation

Is chaos dungeon

[summer thunder]

k ty

ofc they change the name

[spring spruce]

they do explain it if you read the guide after finishin south kurzan

[summer thunder]

after 3 years

[hearty kraken]

changing name does make sense story wise

[turbid flame]

Argeos

[summer thunder]

did I lose my mokoko status?

[turbid flame]

Yes at 1620

[worldly slate]

Do I get the same gold from gold island if I go with my lower alt?

[summer thunder]

on just that character or my whole roster?

[turbid flame]

Roster

[worldly slate]

Yes whole roster

[summer thunder]

that's not good...

[turbid flame]

I think it's same gold regardless

Could be wrong tho

Mokoko buff didn't do that much

[summer thunder]

what's up w this??

[turbid flame]

What window is that

[spring spruce]

it means that there is nothing for your tier, if you click the dropdown on top left you can check all items

[summer thunder]

solo raid exhange

[turbid flame]

Solo raids are t3 so

No t4 raids have solo

[spring spruce]

it is technically a tier 3 raid since normal is not tier 4 ilevel

[turbid flame]

Echidna released in t3

[summer thunder]

oh that's echidna

ik echidna

[turbid flame]

Garbage

You can get 50 wishful amulets for 50s

50 silver*

[spring spruce]

don't forget to say it is weekly Gari

[turbid flame]

[summer thunder]

did I just get 1 level 1 gem from that whole chaos dungeon??

[turbid flame]

Prob

[summer thunder]

that's crazy

[turbid flame]

Can also get 0

That level 1 is the equivalent of a t3 lvl3

[summer thunder]

they took away my OP shard chests too...

[turbid flame]

You get more in t4 overall

[hearty kraken]

is there a way to get those "well rolled 70 quality accesories" that I got when I returned in ancient?

my alt got to 1540

[lavish mortar]

That was only as a starter kit when AP changes launched
Go roll some accessories
