#

or just some since the are tour missions?

bold geyser
#

now that i think of it you may need to go do the early ones to unlock the current ones, yeah 😦

leaden pendant
#

Well hold on now

#

We might have to do a short ad break for this world tour

bold geyser
#

😄

leaden pendant
#

The song with 2h cooldown teleports me to the blue triport r?

#

The one I'm attuned with

lavish mortar
#

yep

bold geyser
#

wherever you set it to

#

yeah

leaden pendant
#

Aight back to luterra we are

#

Slayer worth just for this

bold geyser
#

do you have bifrosts, too?

outer mason
#

I think at your stage in the game, you can only do level 1 of the Arkesia Tour, which is still nice, just letting you know
(there's 4 levels total)

leaden pendant
#

Bifrosts?

lavish mortar
#

alt+w

lavish mortar
leaden pendant
#

Uhm

#

Tylobic u sure bout this toiur

#

the third mission wants me to go to north vern

summer thunder
# leaden pendant Well hold on now

you do realize that if you'd logged in like 4 weeks ago you'd have bypassed everything ur doing right now?
they give away a free boost to 1580 ilevel every few months

bold geyser
#

this is true, it's weird we dont have one right now

leaden pendant
#

Well I only joined back like 2 weeks ago

bold geyser
#

expect one this summer w/ the new class

rose wren
#

its slightly more than north vern to complete it all

leaden pendant
#

That's in north vern should I try going there

lavish mortar
#

you can't do that yet

bold geyser
#

don't think youll be able to dock

summer thunder
bold geyser
#

so no dice

lavish mortar
#

just go back to msq

leaden pendant
#

So I went back to luterra for one stupid mokoko seed....

#

Aight lets see how much this costs me to go back

bold geyser
leaden pendant
#

Also I found a side quest here...

#

Hmm

bold geyser
#

did you finish the tour step?

leaden pendant
#

short short ad break

leaden pendant
outer mason
leaden pendant
#

but third one needs me to go north vern so not yet

bold geyser
#

you should still get unlocks, no?

leaden pendant
#

Nope

#

Have to complete all 3

lavish mortar
#

no because they're on part 1.3 which requires north vern

bold geyser
#

oh, 1.3, not stage 3

#

got it

leaden pendant
#

So south vern after where I'm at?

#

Cause power pass wise kuzan is afterwards

bold geyser
#

south verns much later

outer mason
rose wren
#

kurzan so far from south vern

leaden pendant
#

Aight I have no clue where I'm at anymore

bold geyser
#

hell yeah

outer mason
#

follow blue quest, you'll be alright

leaden pendant
#

Going by info I have I'm nowhere

bold geyser
#

are you back in arth

rose wren
#

shusire is like a off side piece of north vern since u have to return back there to speak to the queen

leaden pendant
#

that seems written wrong

#

Nope was correct

lavish mortar
#

you are basically a billion hours behind everyone else kekwaddle

bold geyser
#

ugh finally got a purple qual

rose wren
leaden pendant
#

Aight after waling 5 times over the entire port

I finally did the sidequest

The Ultimate Slayer Infoset

Below you can find a comprehensive list of useful information for the Slayer class. This list is not exhaustive, but it should give you a good idea of what to expect from the class.

leaden pendant
#

I hope shishire is last thing before north vern

bold geyser
#

yeah

#

and north vern, at least the part you need to do to finish that part of the story, is short

leaden pendant
#

And then I'm done with MSQ for a bit?

#

Till I reach ilvl 500?

bold geyser
#

oh, you

leaden pendant
#

yes me

carmine garden
lavish mortar
#

you'll hit 500 like 1 or 2 days after finishg north vern

bold geyser
#

actually 500 you get straight up from chaos right?

bold geyser
#

so yeah, short speed bump

bold geyser
carmine garden
lavish mortar
bold geyser
#

should be next to your minimap, if you haven't done them

carmine garden
#

Can you give example?

bold geyser
#

not from mine, but..

#

used to look like this, may still?

carmine garden
#

I don’t have that

leaden pendant
#

It still does

carmine garden
#

Does that mean I missed the event

bold geyser
#

have you already finished a ton of horizontal?

lavish mortar
carmine garden
#

I’m a returning player after like year and a half

outer mason
carmine garden
#

I didn’t do it

bold geyser
#

but you've done a ton of islands, etc?

carmine garden
#

Yea before I came back to game

rose wren
#

even if u done various content before, u still see it

carmine garden
#

All giant hearts, tons of side quests, mokokos etc

bold geyser
#

there may be some unlock you're missing, like a guide quest

carmine garden
#

🤦‍♂️

bold geyser
#

but its also pssible youv'e simply done everything it would unlock, so you aren't missing anything

carmine garden
#

I’m checking continents for side quests

rose wren
#

are u in a weird location where such thing dont show up by minimap?

carmine garden
#

No im in kurzan

bold geyser
#

like it wont give you stuff you wont already have gotten from doing all the horizontal

#

its just a catchup

carmine garden
#

Oh

#

Gotcha

#

That’s probably the case

#

I used to do so much collection and quests

#

Question

#

Please

#

As a returning player

rose jewel
#

you should still get the arkesia even if a veteran, from my understanding

#

but shruge

carmine garden
#

What rapports are the best to do now for rewards

bold geyser
#

honestly they give so many rapport items away its probably easy to bomb most of them

rose wren
#

ya do sig, i had it

carmine garden
#

Yea I have ton of rapport gifts but who’s is the best to do first

rose jewel
carmine garden
#

Like important rewards I’m unaware of or missing

rose jewel
#

there is no wrong answer nor correct one

bold geyser
#

zeherade has some good stuff

#

i assume you dont need virtues

#

ren for adventure tome

#

nefer for adventure tome, i think that chest gemet has may be too?

icy scarab
#

returning player, dk what to do. I did kakul and brelshaza and am at 1505

bold geyser
#

caught up on story?

icy scarab
#

prob not

#

😂

bold geyser
#

need to finish elgacia before you can do kayangel at 1540

icy scarab
#

wait doing valtan rn

bold geyser
#

i meannnn sure go for it but you're quite beyond that at this point 😄

icy scarab
#

dont I have to do it for gold?

bold geyser
#

can only get 3 gold earns per char per week

#

and he's the worst one

icy scarab
#

ohhh

bold geyser
#

BUT the weeks over in a few days, so little harm done

icy scarab
#

then vykas > valtan atp?

bold geyser
#

at 1505 you can do brel kakul and vykas, yeah

#

but it should be pretty easy to get the hones to get to 1540 for kayangel

#

catching up on the story is the longer part 😄

icy scarab
#

it's been 3 years TrollDespair

bold geyser
#

it doesn't cost gold to hone up to 1580 now

#

not counting materials

#

welcome back 😄

icy scarab
#

literally dk

#

which ones are story

#

I guess the growth one?

bold geyser
#

oranges and blues

icy scarab
bold geyser
#

i use the other UI, but choose whichever you like 🙂

rose wren
#

ban soc

icy scarab
#

also my legendary engravings are gone?

bold geyser
#

the systems normalized to the T4 system now, so you select them from your UI w/o having nodes from gear

vast oriole
#

u never had leg engravings so they didnt take it away

#

what you have is the free 5x3

#

it got removed with the new system

#

so now u need to get books

#

likebefore

icy scarab
rose jewel
icy scarab
#

shadowhunter is still mid endgame tho?

rose jewel
#

#

#

yes but no, not top dog but far from being bottom

subtle wing
#

anyone who uses re db

#

is this supposed to fill 3 balls?

rose jewel
#

yes

subtle wing
#

doesn't fill it on training dummy

#

have same tripods etc

#

barely fills 1.5 balls

rose jewel
#

youre clearly doing something wrong

#

whats your spec

subtle wing
#

1810

rose jewel
#

#

just ask in the class ch

icy scarab
#

RE is > than surge now?

rose jewel

subtle wing

lavish mortar

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

You are all good to go!

livid fossil

leaden pendant

fight boss

icy scarab

leaden pendant
#

#

Aigh best dungeon

rose wren
#

if only there were more new players nowadays like u, content maybe rezzed...

leaden pendant

But do that after playing a char normally

latent python
#

rose jewel
#

leaden pendant
#

This dungeon feels like an actual dungeon

latent python
#

rose jewel
#

market area

#

permanently

#

no need to wait for a million years for a random chance at something

latent python
#

im trying to do this one specfically

#

is this the market area?

rose jewel
#

you probably need the merchant or to level up / research the merchant

latent python
#

oh

rose jewel
#

some guides are outdated due to all the recent changes

#

but yes thats the area

#

the top 2 have most of the stuff

latent python
#

yea i couldnt find it

leaden pendant
#

Not gonna say no to this

latent python
#

ive unlocked every merchant except one

#

and its not her

leaden pendant
#

blissful pivot

When I click on the "Launch" button on the character selection screen, nothing happens. After about 5 minutes, I get a connection error, and the game closes. This only happens in Lost Ark.

outer mason
vast oriole
#

oh XD

wet moss
untold root
outer mason
#

first 3 chaos dungeons of the week give you extra shard and silver that you need to claim

patent merlin
#

almost 2 week no dispatch bloodclaw, anyone knows what is the rate to get it?

velvet flower
#

Just keep going

full socket
#

I got it after my second dispatch

viral marsh
#

How hard is it to learn Brel HM? I am 1700 just never really bothered with it tbf.

leaden fable
#

is it more worth to hone 1585 alt or 1640 main

swift elbow
#

at what ilvl can i do knowledge transfer?

#

i wanted to kt an alt but i cant seem to use f2 to go stronghold

#

nvm i just had to do a bit of story quests mb

livid fossil
#

First 3 dispatch I got it

turbid flame
#

uh, don't put words in to my mouth, You made it sound like you refused to interact with the system at all, i.e. ZERO elixirs, and I told you that you'd be gatekept for that.

vast oriole
leaden fable
vast oriole
#

prob 1660 1670

#

so you can start working on aegir gear and karma

#

personally, i was only raising alts with express

viral marsh
#

I have been doing normals every week since launch

vast oriole
#

but now they reduced the gold cost for 1580 to 1620 so its as u want

leaden fable
#

so once i hit aegir then try to push alt into t4

vast oriole
opal prawn
#

guys, im reaching 1490 with epic gear. should i still farm for relic or save the resources to craft the ancient gear? and can i upgrade from epic to ancient or do i need to upgrade from relic?

vast oriole
rose wren
#

still require to have relic

opal prawn
#

oh no.. thanks!!

worldly salmon
#

whats up guys just started playing the game this week and was wondering. Is it better to build your roster from the beginning or should I max out one character first and then make a second character?

turbid flame
#

uhhh, you can't "max out" one character easily

balmy plank
#

Make more chars when you want to play the game more. You cant max a char

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

my impression with you was, oh, the system takes gold from my relic tools? yeah, ilvls is all that matters, i'm not going to touch the system

#

so if you had 0 elixirs, yes, you'd be gatekept

#

you said it yourself, other systems don't matter, you're going to get to 1660, and they'll just see "oh a 1660 dps sorc" and accept

vast oriole
#

100% luck elixirs gets gatekept

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

I mean, hey, that's a step up from you just saying you refuse to interact with the system at all

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

the luck roll is bad though

#

far less damage than other options

summer thunder
#

omg

vast oriole
#

you want to stay reflux right ?

summer thunder
#

it's 2x the damage a free recast

turbid flame
#

it has a low proc rate

#

and you could instead make every spell do a lot more dmg

vast oriole
#

you want critical set

summer thunder
vast oriole
#

then its ignite

summer thunder
#

I have yet for it to work on my hyper awakening, but when it does
man is that gonna be epic!

rose jewel
turbid flame
#

look, Enigma, i'll be real... people here, even if sarcastic at times, legit try to help, and a lot of the time, you either A) take their help and then get an ego acting like you're the best, B) take the help then question why they did it, in a ridiculing way, like with the Unas yesterday, or C) straight up ignore the help and then act like they're just trying to sabotage you or some shit.. you can do whatever you want, but we're juts trying to be real with you, people WILL gatekeep you for various things, and every time we try to tell you that, you're just like, nah, they won't

autumn belfry
#

I've gotten good help from people in dis channel

#

👍

turbid flame
#

people are talking from experience, and usually, things like no elixirs, or luck elixirs, "will" have you gatekept

#

yet then you say dumb shit like we specifically said you had to have 5/5 or you get kicked from everything

#

that's a good way to get people to not want to help you

#

when you do shit like that

summer thunder
#

I must not be explaining my situation well enough then

autumn belfry
#

@turbid flame I was told to wait until 1610 to use these but can I use them rn at 1600 chaos dungeon

summer thunder
#

because I don't have 0 elixirs and didn't think that's what u guys were referring to...

turbid flame
#

okay, stop trying to ragebait

#

when comments even close to that were initially made

#

you had ZERO

#

and didn't intend to work with the system at all

summer thunder
#

I've never had zero tho...

#

Because I instantly got all 4/4 elixirs

turbid flame
#

okay, whatever, that's still fairly bad, and will be gatekept for it

autumn belfry
#

which 1 is worth

#

or just all large

turbid flame
#

I just remember when you started cutting elixirs, and within the same day, said you gave up on them

summer thunder
#

I appreciate ur guys' help, but often u guys want me to achieve the highest of the highest stats as a new player...

turbid flame
#

bullshit

#

you're also not a "new" player

#

you're a returning player

summer thunder
#

and it's not v practical imo

turbid flame
#

we try to be realistic, if you want to do group raids, you need better elixirs than you have

#

unless you get carried by dbb again

autumn belfry
#

So large for dat jumbo bar?

turbid flame
#

yes

#

if you want to gamble

autumn belfry
#

Do I risk da gamble

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

I don't

autumn belfry
#

10k gold if u get dat

#

gah

subtle wing
#

Are alts considered not worth now?

turbid flame
#

the return for them usually takes a while to happen

#

they were never "worth"

autumn belfry
#

Middle it is

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

don't listen to the people who said you had to run 6 chars to be efficient at early stages of the game

rose jewel
turbid flame
#

I don't suggest people go for the absolute best unless they already have fairly good ones to begin with

subtle wing
turbid flame
#

you still need Orehas which take gold to craft, unless you hone them over months and months with solo shop

#

up to 1580 is "mostly" free, aside from orehas

subtle wing
#

Yes

rose jewel
#

alts are a very very long time investment

subtle wing
#

You also get a lot of orehas from main quest right?

rose jewel
#

because the more new content the game throws, the better the alt needs to be geared to get accepted into stuff

turbid flame
#

not a lot

autumn belfry
#

any reason why my lab lost a research slot?

rose jewel
subtle wing
#

Like, 1580 seems pretty easy and that is ~11k gold / week / alt

rose jewel
#

relatively easy, just takes time

subtle wing
#

For someone with his main at 1610-20 seems worth it

autumn belfry
#

Ahh

rose jewel
#

a lot of

autumn belfry
#

Crystal was carrying me

rose jewel
#

if you want alts go ahead

subtle wing
#

If ir is like 2-3 months then it is not ttoo bad

rose jewel
#

we dont recommend them because usually people want to have alts running the latest content, and that takes a fuckton of everything to achieve

#

like a month or so

summer thunder
#

If alts are so bad, why does @west valley have 12 alt Paladins??

rose jewel
#

only for 1580 stuck on akkan

#

5 weeks to get out of akkan and then honing starts costing gold

#

so honing them above 1580 will immediately become tragic

subtle wing
#

So 1 month to get 50k gold more per week. Seems worth to me

west valley
#

you dont have to do this manner. i decided too

turbid flame
#

Enigma, when they're asking purely from a worth standpoint, or efficiency

#

alts aren't the way

rose jewel
#

yeah sure, due to all the nerfs they put not really long ago

#

back in the day everything costed gold to hone

#

ofc as the game gets older the old dead content needs to be nerfed

#

so it was not always the case

#

nowadays you can

vast oriole
#

alts are worth if you like to spend time in the game and like the class, if you want gold efficiency, alts arent worth at all

west valley
#

i did it for books engravings and gems

turbid flame
#

I have alts, and keep boosting alts to T4, just because I want to play the classes, idc if it takes quite a bit of time to make the gold back that I spent

#

but it's not efficient

#

I could be 1700 on my sharpshooter by now most likely, if I didn't keep spending 80k here and there to boost alts

subtle wing
#

You can always keep your alts to the point where gold is not needed to hone. Honing gets nerfed, gold income earlier raids get nerfed, gou up them again. How is this not efficient?

turbid flame
#

but I made that choice

summer thunder
#

hmm that's news to me

turbid flame
#

what's news?

rose jewel
#

because, again, people assume that for an alt to be worth it has to be around the latest raids

summer thunder
#

I was being trained by someone that felt alts are the key to success it seems

rose jewel
#

they dont think rationally most of the time

#

AND again

#

it was not always the case we have rn

rose wren
#

i just have alts to play classes....

rose jewel
#

everything costed gold back then

subtle wing
rose jewel
#

only after 3 years and several nerfs it became net positive

#

yes they do

since I did this already dis this week can I keep rerun for rewardws to get the potions or no?

turbid flame
#

back at the launch of the game, people were like, OH, you HAVE to play 6 alts to be efficient

#

which isn't the case

rose jewel
#

human beings are bad at things and good at other things

turbid flame
#

you already did all 3 gates

#

can't go again

autumn belfry
#

Ahh weekly count exceeded

rose jewel
#

and a lot of people are bad at things you thought they would be good at

autumn belfry
#

I only read the gold part

hearty kraken
rose jewel
#

like, local meme, lost ark players cant read for shit

vast oriole
#

no

subtle wing
#

Just like probably at some point pushing you main to the last 10-20 ilevels is worth way less than pushing ylur alts

bold geyser
#

do most classes not care which engravings are on their stone?

rose jewel
#

see above

vast oriole
#

you never needed to have alts

rose wren
vast oriole
turbid flame
vast oriole
#

some engravings are better than others but thats minmaxing

bold geyser
hearty kraken
#

@vast oriole not having alts held me back hard at the start. if I had made alts from the get go I would have made argos in time

turbid flame
#

I only made alts when my two chars were parked at Argos, ready for Valtan

summer thunder
#

I always powerpass and express event my lowest ilevel character

rose jewel
#

lmao, argos

bold geyser
#

most classes wouldn't be inting by picking the 2 worst ones, if tahts' waht they have

turbid flame
#

Argos is the best 😦

vast oriole
#

the more you invest gold in your alts, the less you ahve gold for your main...

vast oriole
#

how is it so hard to understand

rose jewel
#

when every single item was extremely overinflated to the point they costed 20x more than they should?

turbid flame
rose jewel
#

thats a BAAAAAAAD example

rose wren
#

i played 1class and made it to argos, was still busy

hearty kraken
#

to be very fair about those alts at the start: you werent supposed to keep on honing them, just funnel into main

subtle wing
# vast oriole you never needed to have alts

There was a guy who did some calculstions here on discord and it was like 200k gold to go from one ilevel to another (can't remember exactly, around the 1620 area). With 1 char it takes 8-10 weeks. With 6x 1580 that is down to 2-3 weeks.

rose jewel
#

the thing is

rose jewel
#

juicy express events lower that amount by a LOT

#

and guess what, we dont have any event right now

#

well yes one but at 1640

#

if you play 1 char and dont fomo and get an event and just hone slowly you will eventually catch up

turbid flame
#

I remember back in the day getting gatekept if you honed your gear evenly instead of having certain pieces higher than other ones, was dumb as fuck

rose wren
#

at that lvl ur earning like 100k weekly on 1

hearty kraken
#

events are what you can do for alts

vast oriole
#

i eman theres multiple people that play once char and theya re still at endgame

rose jewel
#

99% of people want to get TO THE FUCKING END END END GAME RIGHT NOW

vast oriole
#

its your choice

rose jewel
#

that's the issue

vast oriole
#

but honing alts isnt gold efficient

rose jewel
#

not everyone is like you, not everyone things rationally

#

thinks*

summer thunder
#

I just wanted to get to the last continent

rose jewel
#

everyone wants to have main at 5675402025 ilv and alts one lv under

subtle wing
rose jewel
#

THAT is the issue

summer thunder
#

and I accidentally already got here lol

rose jewel
#

alts before 1580 AS OF TODAY are not the worse investment of all, it only takes the time you do your weeklies and dailies

vast oriole
#

ye and i was talking in beginning of the game when everything costed gold

rose wren
#

thats not even the final continent, theres more to come

rose jewel
#

and they can self sustain with solo shop

#

the thing is

vast oriole
#

yes now you can get alts to 1580 for free

#

more than that it cost gold

rose jewel
#

the more we say "yes you need alts go make them nownow need 6 or you will be stuck forever" the worse it gets

vast oriole
#

and no it snot efficient

#

betetr to focus on main unless you want to play 10 classes that u love

rose jewel
#

people fomo, they want to get everything done, "Oh if i hone an alt a bit more i get a bit more gold weekly"

#

"Oh if i reach here... Oh if i...."

subtle wing
#

If I focus on main that is 3hrs of playtime per week

#

Tf is that

rose jewel
#

fomo kicks in, people get tired, they burn up, they leave, "Man this game sucks its a fucking 2nd job"

subtle wing
#

Do I play a game to play it 3 hours per week?

vast oriole
#

you think i will ever repay the gold investment for them? nop.

hearty kraken
#

do the side content

rose jewel
#

most people here have seen WAY too many people fall off on that hole

turbid flame
vast oriole
#

alts arent gold efficient

#

they are efficient if youw ant to play the game more

#

thats it

#

thats our point since earlier

rose jewel
#

wanna make alts? in this day and age you can up to a certain ilv without much issues

subtle wing
summer thunder
rose jewel
#

they will take more time to take care of things, but yes they will help your main

edgy spindle
#

Hi y'all, im a returning player and I got a 1610 scrapper. Would it be better to just stay at 1610 and wait for a coming hyper express? or should I try to hone to 1640 so I can take advantage of the road to act 3 event?

vast oriole
summer thunder
#

you're not even making alts to try out other classes 😂

rose jewel
vast oriole
#

i have other classes

#

i just showed main 6

turbid flame
rose jewel
#

highly recommend to just get to 1620 and try to grab the current event for 1640, very juiced

hearty kraken
subtle wing
rose jewel
#

any further questions feel free to ask, theres a lot of info pinned here

edgy spindle
#

tyty kaling_thumbsup

subtle wing
#

Like, you can't convince me that tapping into 0.5% chance last upgrade on a weapon 20k gold per tap that you dont event need is more efficient than honing an alt

vast oriole
#

its at some point not efficient to hone main anymore...

summer thunder
#

where's the merchant to exchange these for next tier?

turbid flame
#

there isn't one

rose jewel
#

if youre at 0.5% you over honed

summer thunder
#

these mfs

vast oriole
#

youc an check my messages, i said few times to hone main to 1660 or 1670 and then can go alts adventure

rose jewel
#

or youre just a whale that doesnt care

subtle wing
rose wren
turbid flame
#

so good odds they wouldn't for T2 either

vast oriole
#

personally i dont raid on my 1640s because its useless, you get gatekept and spend horus in pf

turbid flame
#

but T2 vendor doesn't exist like thta

subtle wing
summer thunder
vast oriole
#

i have them since ages ago

turbid flame
#

_< I never said go 5/5 elixirs, full trans yes tho

vast oriole
#

nobody gatekeep 5/5 elixirs

turbid flame
#

I mean, that's always the case, 50% of what he does is ragebaiting UwU

vast oriole
#

as long as u have 40 of your set, youre good

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

Enigma, stop being a fucking troll

#

I never said that

vast oriole
#

its not enough because its luck set

#

LUCK SET ISNT YOUR SET

#

its a dogshit elixir set

turbid flame
#

you also have stagger on the other pieces, no?

#

that's also... bad

summer thunder
#

Do you know how hard it is to get 4/4 elixirs in my set??

#

I've cut like 15 times

turbid flame
#

why do you think it's an investment to work on your elixirs?

summer thunder
#

got one 4/4

vast oriole
#

yes i got 40 set on 8 characters

#

i know what is elixir system

summer thunder
#

well maybe someone should write a guide on it

vast oriole
#

you also want this on your shoulder

summer thunder
#

because the system sucks currently

turbid flame
#

elixirs are fairly simple, just rng

vast oriole
#

there is guide.

summer thunder
#

yea a bad guide that says nothing about which buttons to press

vast oriole
#

its called using your logic

summer thunder
vast oriole
#

see

#

its good

#

5 boss 3 atk power would be better but ITS GOOD

summer thunder
#

5/5 would be good

vast oriole
#

no thats fine

summer thunder
#

Even spending all the time I did to get taht
I'm still at 0% progress to a 5/5

vast oriole
#

u

#

dont

#

need

#

5/5

summer thunder
#

there's no pitty system, incidental advancement here

#

that 4/4 becomes garbage if I get a 5/5

#

v sad

#

anyways, I will figure it out eventually

jagged zinc
summer thunder
#

at least the person that was helping me cut
gave me the advice to save my reroll till the end

#

that was a good tip

#

need to accumulate more of those and then 5/5 will be possible

turbid flame
#

or, you know, you could try for 4/4 with GOOD elixirs

#

instead of being a troll and saying that people told you that you have to have 5/5 or else

summer thunder
#

4/4 is extremely hard too

#

could still use tips for that as well

balmy plank
#

Get lucky. Its not that bad

summer thunder
balmy plank
#

Luck set might as well be vomit garbage set

#

You do want critical

summer thunder
#

nothing makes me happier in this game, than when I press my skill and it doesn't go on cooldown...

turbid flame
#

then be happy being gatekept for bad elixirs I guess

#

like, people try to help you, and your response is wel, I like this better

#

okay, that's fine

#

but don't come crying if you try to actually do group raids

valid helm
#

Skill issue

turbid flame
#

and get gatekept

valid helm
#

Become good at cutting
It’s a 50/50

turbid flame
#

sure, luck set has double procs, but they don't happen all that often, you'd get far more damage from getting every skill to do a lot more damage

hearty kraken
#

there is something about gatekeeping that you have to realize: your option could be 20% better and people still wouldnt take you

valid helm
#

Luck set is unplayable, gatekept from everything

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

but nowadays, 1660 is the minimum to get accepted regardless

valid helm
lavish mortar
#

1660 is just "maybe i'll look further"

valid helm
#

You need 5/3

summer thunder
#

1660 is my end goal for this game

turbid flame
#

who's really going to take the time to pull out a magnifying glass and inspect my character profile and build?
They'll see 1660 sorc DPS and be like 👍

summer thunder
#

I'll have reached my peak once I get there ideally before July 23rd

turbid flame
#

The thing is

#

if you DO want to do party raids, instead of solo

#

you will need to improve your character

#

and people try to tell you that

valid helm
turbid flame
#

and you just twist words, and troll, and just don't listen to shit

valid helm
turbid flame
#

it's getting fucking annoying, honestly

valid helm
#

Can be thanos himself at 1735

#

Would still decline

turbid flame
#

if you don't want to do any raids but solo, then who cares, do whatever

#

but you seemed to want to do them, at some point

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

uh...

valid helm
turbid flame
#

yeah

valid helm
#

I meant level 8s minimum

#

And relic books

summer thunder
#

LoS 24

turbid flame
valid helm
#

Stb24 or declined

turbid flame
#

fuk

valid helm
#

I’m doing my job

#

Gatekeep more

#

Yall take too many rats

#

It’s becoming popular behavior

summer thunder
#

That EU servers, NA East people have been much more accepting

valid helm
#

Keep that kr culture out of this western household

valid helm
turbid flame
livid fossil
#

Let him find out we tried to tell him.

valid helm
#

On a serious note, fix your elixir it should be piss easy to fix 40 set

#

Otherwise I honestly wouldn’t take you to even duo log

#

Let alone regular content

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

low roster level, luck elixirs, stagger on two pieces, t3 garbage accessories, purple hit master + mp efficiency (uwu could be wrong)

livid fossil
#

He is a achievement Andy

turbid flame
#

all of those could get you gatekept

valid helm
livid fossil
#

He ain’t listening

summer thunder
raw notch
#

so at +19 normal honing its better to do 20 to 30 Advanced honing
then when is it better to do 30 to 40 advanced honing?

raw notch
valid helm
#

1.5m gold for 20 ilvl

#

Way cheaper than regular honing

livid fossil
#

If that is cheaper lol ong

raw notch
#

oki doks
im thinking of just doing weapon to 40 AH
and armors whatever gets me to 1720

valid helm
#

If it’s your main

#

Just do all

raw notch
#

kk

valid helm
#

Don’t cheap out on main

#

Skipping AH on my alts in t3

#

Bit me in the ass

#

And others

#

So hard

#

Finish your AH

#

1.5 isn’t that bad

#

You can barely do 1 piece a week

summer thunder
#

ok guys serious question, here's the background info:

  • Currently at ilvl 1640 with the goal of getting to 1660 by July 23rd
  • I'm a casual returning player and I don't like spending lots of gold honing
    Should I open these T4 support chests and fully juice 1640 pulls or save for honing 1650-1660?
raw notch
balmy plank
valid helm
#

Fix your char first

summer thunder
#

sigh...

valid helm
#

I’m being serious

summer thunder
#

But regardless, my goal is to get to ilevel 1660

valid helm
#

My 1620 prolly does more dps than you at 1660

summer thunder
#

that's why I gave that background info

balmy plank
#

The only thing 1660 gives you is group raids and your build is FAR from acceptable

valid helm
#

But that is pointless

slate geyser
summer thunder
#

I just want this chest:

slate geyser
#

And you will get it.

summer thunder
#

Once i get that, then I can relax

turbid flame
#

do you care about raiding at all, or just going to stick to solo modes?

slate geyser
#

But there's no point in being 1660 if transcedence and elixirs are not complete.

summer thunder
valid helm
#

Reward is useless to you rn

slate geyser
#

That chest is not going away until what, middle of next month?

#

You have plenty of time.

turbid flame
#

it never goes away

#

if it's the chest in their inv

valid helm
slate geyser
#

Nah it's from the UI

turbid flame
#

ahh

valid helm
#

Not the inventory one

slate geyser
#

It will go away when the event ends.

turbid flame
#

oh yea, i'm thinking of the express chest that sat in inv

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

well, I wouldn't count on DBB to pity bus you every week

#

so

#

you'll need to either just do solo modes

#

or work on improving your character

slate geyser
turbid flame
#

also, his words, not mine a pity run, it was a way of means to show him growth and to celebrate his stubborn butt to progress.

slate geyser
#

It will go away 07/23

summer thunder
#

That's why I said in the background goal deadline is July 23rd

slate geyser
#

You should have plenty of time to complete transcedence, get the right elixir set and get to 1660.

valid helm
#

Bro has a full month

summer thunder
#

why is there all this talk
and 0 answering of my actual question?? loll...

lavish mortar
#

it'is a full month for 4 hones of 10% 10% 5% 5%

#

thta's piss easy

valid helm
#

You take it as an objectively correct answer

summer thunder
#

I can't get to 1660 not honing...

lavish mortar
#

and you won't get to play the game by just spam clicking hone

slate geyser
turbid flame
#

I mean, it also takes gold to hone, and you don't want to spend your unbound gold

summer thunder
#

I have 16k gold available atm to hone with

slate geyser
#

I believe 1660 is +15 right?

summer thunder
#

so that's why I'm thinking to fully juice, 1640 to 1645

lavish mortar
slate geyser
#

Right. So you must be at +10 on every piece.

#

The odds of honing +10 to +11, etc are not that low.

summer thunder
slate geyser
#

I would save it when you are trying to go from +13 to +14

#

Since +14 is the next ilvl breakpoint for you.

summer thunder
#

my odds go up 2x by fully juicing tho

slate geyser
#

And will cost the most gold.

slate geyser
#

And you'll need a ton of them for advanced honing in the future.

#

It's not ideal to just waste them on a 10% default honing chance.

summer thunder
#

hmm

#

ok I think I've got a better question then, 1 sec

slate geyser
#

The books alone are enough to get you to 1660. They give a lot through that event.

#

But if you are going to juice, do it when you are +13, getting to +14.

summer thunder
#

is this showing the mats to get from 1640 to 1660?

lavish mortar
#

no

valid helm
#

That’s worst case scenario

lavish mortar
#

that's advanced honing

valid helm
#

And adv hone

slate geyser
#

That is not accurate for you since it is advanced honing.

summer thunder
#

ah ok

slate geyser
#

This is not taking books into consideration.

summer thunder
#

wth it's even more expensive lol

slate geyser
#

You are using worst case scenario

jagged zinc
#

turns out 20 ilvls is more expensive than 4 ilvls

slate geyser
#

This is the 'average cost' with the express event.

#

But again, books are not taken into consideration here

#

Which greatly reduces the cost.

summer thunder
#

can you plz show the above section too?

slate geyser
summer thunder
slate geyser
#

Yes

lavish mortar
#

with books

slate geyser
#

Luck is not taken into consideration either. Not a variable that can be considered. I usually don't look at this tool since I don't believe it's an accurate representation.

#

Books will greatly help you out though. And most people would tell you to use that material box when getting the next ilvl breakpoint.

valid helm
#

Also inaccurate

#

My 1640 to 1660 with event took me less than 100k

#

Again, it varies per luck

slate geyser
#

Yeah. I don't bat an eye on the average since I am usually below it. I usually hone when I have a few hundred thousand gold and a decent amount of bound materials. Whatever you do, don't use that box until you are at the point of honing from 13 to 14.

summer thunder
#

ok so u guys are expecting me to just generate 100k gold within a month at 1640?

hearty kraken
#

thats solo. its 25k a week

#

and una is not included

summer thunder
#

ok so actually may be doable

slate geyser
still dove
#

literally 1 aegir hm

valid helm
slate geyser
#

Yeah, I wouldn't expect solo mode to generate the same amount of gold as Aegir HM lol.

valid helm
#

You can make 100k in a week

hearty kraken
valid helm
#

Lol

slate geyser
#

But other gold generation is not taken into consideration.

#

Unas, Life Skilling, etc.

summer thunder
#

how is una's generating me gold?

slate geyser
#

This is how.

lavish mortar
summer thunder
#

oh I thought u meant the daily

#

ok yea

slate geyser
#

Since you probably don't have a bunch of characters do the Chaos Dungeon & Cube Weekly Quests.

slate geyser
#

Then this is passive gold income for you.

#

If you are afraid that you won't be able to complete Transcedence, Elixirs and hit 1660 by 07/23, then hone to 1660 first.

#

Like I said though, you won't be accepted into parties until prior systems are completed.

summer thunder
#

I have one other character that can do Kayangel for some extra gold too

manic quarry
#

Oh boy

summer thunder
#

that's what a diverse roster looks like

#

not this 5 artists or 12 paladins...

manic quarry
#

Yeah I'll leave that to you, Death.

summer thunder
#

ana and dbb

turbid flame
lavish mortar
#

idk i hvae a diverse roster

slate geyser
#

I would work on those characters on the side via solo mode shop. Won't cost you a dime until 1580+. For any alt you care about that is.

summer thunder
#

buy out the solo orehas each week

lavish mortar
#

and nothing wrong with having 214 artists

summer thunder
#

free money

hearty kraken
#

solo shop only works after 1415

lavish mortar
#

some people just like playing that class

summer thunder
slate geyser
summer thunder
#

my goodness

#

that's so sad

livid fossil
#

i have 2 db so

#

not quite six

hearty kraken
summer thunder
#

It's like eating the same meal every day

slate geyser
#

I do that too

lavish mortar
#

some people enjoy that... stop telling others what they can/can't do

slate geyser
#

I keep things simple.

hearty kraken
#

I like eating the same meal every day

summer thunder
#

Not indefinitely...

slate geyser
#

Never really enjoyed the other support classes & I only like supporting.

livid fossil
#

i also have others

manic quarry
#

Lich have you fixed your main yet

#

I aaaaam waiting for results

livid fossil
#

MY MIAN 1160

#

1660

manic quarry
#

1668 you mean

wet moss
livid fossil
#

it some where

hearty kraken
#

nah, solo shop is at 1415

slate geyser
#

For the 1670, it's being replaced with Female Paladin.

slate geyser
#

But the 1670 is being replaced.

#

No point in honing it.

wet moss
#

You do guides? Susge

slate geyser
#

Ya

summer thunder
turbid flame
#

yes

hearty kraken
#

yes

turbid flame
#

1340

summer thunder
#

wth

#

that's messed up

slate geyser
#

Yeah it's silly.

#

But you only have one character below that threshold.

#

The rest can buy it.

summer thunder
#

hopefully they'll patch that soon
I'm not spending gold on 1340 characters lol

slate geyser
#

Then don't. Wait for future powerpass/express events.

#

That's the way to save the most gold.

turbid flame
#

wouldn't count on them aptching that, been that way for a while

#

just use una gold + stronghold mats

slate geyser
#

They'll likely do another item level squish sometime in the future.

#

There used to be an Oreha below the 'blue one'.

#

Forgot what it is called, but it's no longer in the game.

turbid flame
slate geyser
#

Yeah.

summer thunder
slate geyser
#

It was used up to 1370 back in the day I believe.

turbid flame
hearty kraken
#

dismantle them

slate geyser
#

I think dismantling them gives you the blue ones

#

I forgot.

turbid flame
#

yeah

#

it does

summer thunder
#

so according to the calculator
avg scenario is that I save 36.6k gold fully juicing vs 0 breath from +10 to +14

turbid flame
#

do you have infinite to use though

slate geyser
#

Sure, but then you have no juice left.

#

And you need to advance hone once you are 1660 I think

#

in terms of saving the most gold.

#

From 1-10.

summer thunder
slate geyser
#

Yeah you likely don't have nearly enough juice to use it on every tap.

#

Like I said, it's best to use from 13 to 14.

#

With the boxes/books they provide every 5 item levels.

#

You will be just fine going from 10 to 14.

#

Every one of these boxes provides more books and materials.

summer thunder
#

yea it's the gold that's gonna be an issue

#

only at 16k rn

slate geyser
#

If your sole focus is 1660, you will easily get there before the event ends.

#

I recall it being very easy.

summer thunder
#

took me 3 years to get to my first 90k gold
and u guys are suggesting that I get the next 100k in 1 month lol

turbid flame
#

I mean, you could spend your unbound gold

#

the achievements not going to just disappear

balmy plank
slate geyser
valid helm
balmy plank
valid helm
#

Even if you had 1b gold

slate geyser
#

You're going to make this very difficult for yourself if you are only willing to spend bound gold.

valid helm
#

You just can’t..

turbid flame
#

2 more days for enlighten pot bloodclaw wahoo

slate geyser
#

I have 14k hours and I don't even have 95%

slate geyser
valid helm
#

a lot of achievements are
