Seems legit bro
big family
how would you describe gold farming in the game folks? is it tedious, fair, balanced?
2m? In this economy? Is bro still doing akkan
Depends on roster
It does but still, i have two alt accounts because i take frequent breaks from the game and have missed events so i only have 4 characters on my main roster that are in t4 and able to do actual content, then i have 1 char on each of my alt rosters
My roster shits a good amount of gold weekly, but that’s because I’m a filthy non ethical player
making the same amount as someone with six characters 
But I’d say on avg most rosters make 400k a week
so as a 1 char andy will I make enough to go by or it will take time
with paradise and stuff you should be fine alts are actually a gold loss at first and take a while to get a ROI
you'll be living pay check to pay check
best life
Obviously slower progress than a guy who has 6 chars and all their gold income gets sent to main
only reason to create alts is if you wanna play more
you can get by with just 1 char
Yes, the voices gets louder when I finish all my raids
thanks folks, I think i will start a zerk, that shit is smooth as fuck compared to Machinist
and will save an account for a valkyrie
o7
Why can't I craft? I made 6 earlier but now the button is greyed
?boundoreha
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

that's silly, why would it even show the total gold amount in that window then? is there a reason theres two types
so confused
so bots dont print gold ig
mostly to prevent funnelling gold between bots
what's this bound gold useful for then
honing mostly
but i can't hone without the orehas 
should be able to make chests, but i think that takes farm mats?
i thought the farm was worse than manually lifeskilling, so i havent used it..
ok thanks anyway for the help 😦
It'll get little easier when you get trusted, then you can sell some of the mats (both honing and the ones you gathered from life skills) to get a lot of gold.
Regarding a conversation i had in #lost-ark-discussions ; As a returning player around 1412, what exactly is my path forward progression wise? I'm guessing daily Chaos Dungeons obviously but after that what even is there that i can do to progress?
I also seem to need to make sure I try to figure out how to get to the farm so i can make orehas otherwise i wont be able to hone lol
does crystalline aura give any benefits to lifeskilling?
i want to maximize my life eessences
Hone to 1415 and start doing the solo raids. As for the farm, thats in your Stronghold island.
I think it increases the cap of your life energy but thats all.
can i repair axe on pet?
yes
Yeah I ran out of the.. leapstones? Gotta wait til tomorrow cause no luck finding guardians
And yeah I know its on my island I just dont think im level 10 there
Is there any way for me to play this game from outside the region?
I really wanna go back to playing but it seems that the restriction steam puts in place now is preventing me from doing it even after using VPN or creating USA account.
Ah ye okay, dont remember what level sh you needed.. also everything there cost gold too to research and craft so. 🤷♂️ As for the leaps, theres some una dailys that reward them but I guess for you the most important thing are to focus on the reputation(s).
The reputation stuff is entirely new to me. I spent most of tonight goofing off with my gf and trying to figure out some of the new mechanics like ark passives and engravings and such
There is no legit way to play from a region that has been restricted like the Netherlands or Russia for example. You need a someone from unrestricted region to create a steam account for you.
can't u get more from the event?
1415 should be pretty easy
I didnt see any event for any, but im pretty overwhelmed tonight so
rip if u were nae i couldve helped u with guardian raid
this event runs out in 2 days 3 hours
NAE sounds like the place to be but I dont wanna swap xD
those I think once a day, bi-hourly
Ill look at some of this stuff more tomorrow, its late and I need to get some sleep before work
you need to do those, you'll get a fuckton of mats
8100 great honor leapstones or so
altho you'll start using better leapstones, but just to put into perspective
ey i havent played in a decent while, if i get back into it will there be anyone to do raids and dungeons with?
no, but thats why they added solo mode for a lot of the early stuff to help you catch back up
Yes and no. Everything in T3 is dead but soloable now, the start of T4 is still somewhat alive but almost impossible to get into lobbies unless you got really good gear, gems, engravings and everything. But we are getting Aegir solo on Wednesday I think. Late game t4 is alive and well but same thing again you need insanely good geared characters to get into lobbies.
interesting, i think thats what i needed last time i played. i was too far behind and legit couldnt do anything
i just really enjoyed scrapper 😭
well they're eventually gonna merge us and it'll be a moot point 😄
is it cheaper to advance hoan from 1-10 in t3 then it is in t4?
Around the same
Adv honing got a major nerf in t4
From 1-20
or maybe is it atleast somewhat cheaper to advance weapon from 1-20 in t3 then it is in t4?
considering price of oreha and red stone is kinda high atm
is adv honing something that can help me go from 1650 to 1660?
idk how it works or what it is
adv honing grants extra item level just like regular honing
the difference is how each step works and the cost
refer to this, for when to advanced hone efficiently:
Is the legendary skin gift july or august
It is on July 23rd
But if you want to use it on Valkyrie, you either have to save it or buy a new one.
Did kr already get the gift?
Were they able to choose between all the legy skins of each class
Alright ty 
mokoko bootcamp returns next week, I think. so lower t4 raids r gonna be populated again
With mokoko coming out soon and the paradise event, do the honing material like oreha, abidos will be cheaper ?
I'd say on the contrary
gonna go up for a bit unless the events give tons of fusion mats
how do i make sure that i only use bound gold for crafting instead of normal gold
bound gold is prioritized in crafting if you're crafting farm items
all other items are tradeable gold only iirc
is the pass going to be south kurzan pass or north kurzan pass?
south
1580 one
sad but its only 20ilvl so shouldnt be too dfficult to bridge
it's giga nerfed right now, with the express it will be way easier as well
yeah its more sad that now ill have to do another 3 hour story campaign lol
but prob gonna wait until valk release to use it on her
not 100% sure yet though
do we still need alts to achieve end game competitive content?
never needed an alt in the first place
T4 starts at 1700?
1620
ohh only need 40 then after the powerpass we get
In fact, t4 is from 1640ilvl , 1620ilvl you do dungeon after it you get gear t4 which gives you 1640ilvl
to unlock the dungeon you have to do quests in kurzan
I'm not sure if North Kurzan too, but definitely South)
Because t4 is actually a new tier (which they introduced to the game some time ago) of materials, accessories and etc. And you get them from 1640 ilvl
i see thx
is there a calculator or something for stone cutting? like at x% with x nodes on this hit on it or at x% hit on negative
There is, but that shit be cope anyway
ah i seee
im started to think even with it it wont help
because wdym 5 fails at 75%
lostark.nexus has stone calculator iirc.. but yea its completely rng and rigged bs system
its rng and the calculators just do the math for you to have the best chances
bro these echidna parties are so ridiculous
its a 1630 raid
you can literally skip all mechs with 1660 party
and they want 70 and 80
70 and 80 players are doing mordum and brel already why would they even be in echidna
How to start a world quest?(The blue ones) Bcs on my boosted berserker 1300 item level i havent done questa for 800 item level and cant so chaos dungeons
Need to finish north kurzan msq to have access to kazeros map and to get access to do kenuart fortress for the gear
Most 1660s has shit dps, thats why its like that

best place for t3 excavating ?
Do you have any guide quest to go for a region?
South vern bellion ruins iirc
what about duo logging?
Or i dont re.ember the name of the map
ya
when it comes to elixirs for a scrapper
Helm: Master (Order) + Attack/Strength/Weapon Power
Shoulders: Boss Damage + Attack/Strength/Weapon Power
Chest: Incomming Damage Reduction? + Attack/Strength/Weapon Power
Gloves: Master (Chaos) + Attack/Strength/Weapon Power
Pants: Additional Damage or Crit Damage + Attack/Strength/Weapon Power
is this what i need to go for?
Yes
bet bet
what is a good place to find builds? I remember there used to be a website that had chaos dungeon builds and raid builds 🤔
For master or critical, it should be in the guide
For add dmg or crit dmg, most class goes crit dmg
Lostark.nexus
Maxroll is decent aswell if youre just starting
But nexus is just way more complete
this is where I looked at and to be more exact I looked at wildsoul guide. It's good but I either didn't play in a long while or I don't understand but isn't it missing chaos dungoen builds (or now they are the same as raids) and required stats?
yeah why do all the nexus guides tell new players to use the one from maxroll instead? are their builds easier to play or sth?
its all the way at the beginning
so close to perfection but i'll take it for now
Yes
Because u need to get used to the game and the class
Very heavy apm
And reaper is the squishiest class so the boss sneeze on you and youre dead
just play the class you like the most, even if its more difficult youll have more fun and since its not easy to get to the endgame its also not that easy to just swap once you learned the game
any class you pick up is going to be hard to learn because you're learning a game on top of it
just pick whatever you want to main
^
The game is also too investment heavy to easily swap around
do you have to be 1680 to get 4th tier of enlightenment
No
You just need all the current enlightenment potions
maybe karma too then?
Nope
weird, im stuck at 79
You’ll have 80 enlightenment with all pots and level 70
I keep awful memories of ability stone cutting. Is it style awful to get a descent one? What is considered descent one now?
Still a possible pheons siphon then?
ye
Does anyone have a list of rewards for the upcoming pass? Wondering if it's the same as KR's
No
Tuesday
hi im a sorc does anyone know if it's possible and better to use the crit bracelet with the 3 crazy lines on a sorc or is it trash because of no spec = less meter generartion
ask sorc channel better

Hello I’m a returning veteran player getting back into Lost Ark after a few years away. I’ve played extensively on both the Korean and Russian servers, and now I’m back on NA East, maining a Bard.
With over 5,000+ hours of game time under my belt, I’m looking for an active guild or group to consistently run content with—whether it’s raids, dailies, or just chilling in Discord. Ideally looking for a group that’s welcoming to returnees and active during weekday evenings and weekends.
If you’ve got a spot or want to run stuff together, feel free to DM me or drop your Discord info. Looking forward to connecting with some solid players!
You can choose which engraving the express does or it's random?
It’s set
So if it offers engraving u wont use, ur fucked? 🥲
hi guys, I am a returning player from a few years ago. my highest is a DB around 1480~ but I want to play something else this time with the pass on weds. Should I go for Aero or Wildsoul?
how do i reach 1660?
im at 1530
do i do dalies?
is there a powerpass?
free powerpass and express this wednesday
When did you last play the game
i wouldn't recommend using powerpass on that character
you already progressed a lot
make a new one and use the powerpass on that
so that way you can have your 2nd character raising while you have another character to play
honing change is always the same for weapons vs armors right?
its just that for weapons it costs more abidos, leapstones and red stones are more expensive
but the success chance itself is the same
honing % is always the same. weapon costs more than armor though.
i c
weapon costs more gold to per tap but yea % is always the same
is there a way to get more action energy/pills for stronghold
theres a weekly buyout chest thats free
in stronghold
what npc is this
ty sir!
about 1 or 2 years ago im at 1540 im not sure my last run is brelshaza
np
so kinda confuse right now with all the new information
the game is practically brand new since you last played, so those 5k hours won't really hold any weight.
what exactly are you confused about
well, that much hasn't changed for the most part.
as you recall, you do dailies to obtain materials then hone the gear.
dailies being chaos dungeon for the most part.
is there like a book? to increase odds of like the chance to upgrade
Guardian Raids at that item level are mostly dead since it's an item level bracket that not many people play at any more.
of course.
Visit the Solo Mode Shop.
There is solo raids if you don't know.
theres also a pinned comment for gear progression
And there is an exchange shop.
oh god thanks so much guys love the community
i see
You can buy materials weekly from the solo mode shop
so i go plus 20 then?
in addition to books to increase odds.
No.
Your using brelshaza ancient gear right now.
yes
Your goal is to get to 1580, which is +19.
Then you do the akkan legion raid to get Akkan Ancient Gear.
Gear transfer that and it'll bump you up to 1585.
Then you hone Akkan Ancient gear to +19 to reach 1620.
im taking notes
@wraith idol https://www.lostark.nexus/ very helpful site with pretty much everything u need to know about classes, horiztonal content, raids, etc
btw are we getting the pet stat passive system next patch aswell?
Next Steps:
Hone Brelshaza Gear to +19
This gets you to 1580 item level.
Use Solo Raids and the Solo Mode Exchange Shop weekly to get honing materials and books to increase success odds.
Do Akkan Legion Raid at 1580
This unlocks Akkan Ancient Gear.
Gear Transfer your Brelshaza +19 → Akkan
This boosts your item level to 1585.
Hone Akkan Ancient Gear to +19
This brings you to 1620 item level. is this right?
do i do main quest first? or just straight to the daily dungeon
btw
Basically. With the obvious being to keep up with your chaos dungeon dailies.
Because the entire system got revamped.
In the past you had to buy accessories with +5/+3 to an engraving.
That's no longer the case.
Hit ESC on your keyboard and click Ark Passive.
yes that is correct
Your entire build is dictated by Ark Passive now.
okay
Your combat stats, and other bonuses.
i understand
In the past you had Entropy, Nightmare, etc set bonuses on gear. But now all of that is in the ark passive.
In addition to your 'class engraving' which is the Enlightenment tree in the Ark passive.
okay i understand im taking notes my friend
For engravings you just click on Engravings in character profile and select the engravings you want
I would go to lostark.nexus website and follow a build guide for Gunlancer.
you also have to refine the accessories to get more points for the ark passive
Since you have not played in a long time.
yes this is it
Yeah that too. To get farther in the Enlightenment tree for most bonuses to your 'class engraving', you have to get more Enlightenment points. Majority of that is via accessories now.
wait i maxed out my engravings why missing
You maxed out some of them. Not all though.
i see
Relic is very expensive so don't worry about that.
Relic is very min maxy tho and you dont need it even currently in late t4
Legendary Engraving Books are very cheap now.
its like whale bait kinda
so this is good for now brothers?
Well, I would max out the other engravings that your class uses.
id buy the rest of legendary books for adrenaline
Can buy from market. they are very cheap and you have 400k gold.
wait i buy books again? what the helly
Purple engraving books will go away entirely next patch. So just buy legendary adrenaline and legendary keen blunt weapon.
Not again.
You never bought legendary adrenaline to begin with.
It's purple
AHHHH
You probably had legendary adrenaline from your accessories so you never bothered to buy the books at all for it
i understand it now
See this. It's purple.
yes yes
It should be legendary.
i see
and now since accessories dont give engraving points at all you dont have adrenaline
how about this?
Purple engravings will automatically be completed when the next patch hits.
every 5 books you get a boost so you no longer need all 20 books to get a boost
but you need all 20 to goto the next tier
Who wants to run me through Sonavel O.O
Each node is 5 books read. It's incremental increase each 5 books you read. Instead of getting a boost at 20 books read (like the past). It's per 5 read.
Pretty cheap.
ohhh hence the new books
Yeah they are piss cheap because now relic is the highest tier.
ahaha
yeah.
btw why my dash is forward
They also give out free legendary books like all the time
wtf
Gunlancer rework 🙂
some bamboozkled shit is going on haha
in the current event shop actually theres 45 legendary book selectors
red lancer or blue lancer which is better
so you dont even need to buy them all on market either
Red = higher ceiling but a little harder to play
Blue = lower ceiling but very easy.
yea i was using red last brel run
Play whichever you want.
refer to lostark.nexus for proper build.
Both are viable.
lol not rn
so with this {
Hone Brelshaza Gear to +19
This gets you to 1580 item level.
Use Solo Raids and the Solo Mode Exchange Shop weekly to get honing materials and books to increase success odds.
Do Akkan Legion Raid at 1580
This unlocks Akkan Ancient Gear.
Gear Transfer your Brelshaza +19 → Akkan
This boosts your item level to 1585.
Hone Akkan Ancient Gear to +19
This brings you to 1620 item level.
} i can prog?
Fuck!
What I would do right now is create two mass presets.
One for raiding, one for chaos dungeon.
already done brother thanks for that
Oh okay.
Thanks for reminding me lol i have to do this
Did you designate the mass preset where you automatically go into chaos with that preset?
Saves a lot of time.
not yet thanks for that
yep thats the basic gear progression, though you also have to do transcendence and elixirs at 1600-1620 range
You can set it for every content
btw i think im going to main bard since for sure theres a lack of support going on right now
Saves a ton of time.
Uhhh, only if you really want too.
there isnt a lack of supports
Support shortage is not really a thing anymore.
really?
In fact, there is a support surplus right now at the hyper end-game.
Yes.
And there is a new support class coming out next month
Female Paladin.
Also Supports get a buff in solo raids
Whether it's bard, gunlancer.
fak i remember waiting for hours beause no support at g6
Whatever you truly want to play, go for it.
elgacia and voldis are both 1540 for story iirc
Elgacia is 1500 or 1520
Yea Elgacia Prerequisite Quest.
I just did it the other day on my 1520 glavier
You can do those but.
If you just wait until Wednesday and use powerpass on another character.
It'll auto complete all pre-requisite quest for your entire roster.
For everything up to South Kurzan.
Well remember in the past, powerpass auto completed a ton of quests/story.
I would fix preset to save a ton of time. Make sure your build is proper and do solo raids. Enhance your gear.
Buy from solo shop NPC vendor for materials and books.
oh yes i forgot going rn
vendor is weekly buyout per character
sells honing materials, books to increase odds, etc.
You can also Knowledge transfer new characters at the highest story point, so if youre at north vern you can KT your brand new character to north vern. But you have to get the Ilvl yourself before you can do it and it costs gold which you can get alot of with weekly una
and theres other methods too
Even free level 7 gems.
is it this one my friends?
One thing about the solo shop gems is you cant fuse them. If you could itd be broken asf
alright
The NPC will be updated this wednesday to include tier 4 honing materials and tier 4 level 6 gems which is nice for a lot of people.
But yeah the vendor is great.
Yep. Weekly buyout per character
The currency used to buy all that stuff is Clear Medals
Which you obtain by doing raids.
so clear medal will get in dailies right?
do you suggest ferality or phantom beast for wildsoul?
Also I am assuming ferality is spec / crit while phantom beast is switft / spec?
Also, if you have any Class engravings, you can dismantle them for engraving tokens you can use to get purple engraving selection bags
oh solo raid
I luckily had like 25
All the way up to Echdina (1620)
the hell what is that shit
From Valtan to up Echidna 1620. 1445-1620
They differ quite a bit. Some simply don't exist at all.
Idk if its good to do but i also use blue gems at maris secret shop for honing mats
I dont have trusted to i cant even trade
They are super simplified, and in some cases you have NPC allies to do mech with you like for example the kayangel last gate laser mech..
i see i see its beginner friendly looks like i dont need to watch yt vids for this one XD
i thought im going to study again
Depends. If you are truly stuck, guides for solo raids do exist.
But yes, they are pretty easy.
Solo raid is kinda like a tutorial mode, very casual friendly and easy. super chill
thats nice to hear brother
You'll need too when you get beyond the item level that solo mode exists for.
Which will be 1670+ wednesday.
A new solo raid comes out wednesday which is Aegir. Item level 1660.
Any raid beyond Aegir (1660) requires group play.
i did some solo raids last time I came back, you don't get one shotted, you are left at 1 hp, but still got to learn some mechs
that does have a cooldown tho iirc
Depends on the mechanic. Some do kill you outright if you fail.
so like if you die again you die
i see i see the goal is to be 1660
also if any1 knows this or let me know if this is not the right place to ask 😄
Yeah but with the event this upcoming wednesday, and with the gold you have, you won't have a problem reaching 1660.
im planning to add more gold soon xd
Just get your feet wet by recalling what you may remember and ask any questions if you have any. Check out some of the raids, get used to the combat and daily loop, etc.
thanks for teaching me the ropes
appreciate you
And don't spend any gold until the event.
oh nice
Since it'll give you a lot of materials and stuff to boost quickly.
question how do i get my cards back btw?
what if I sit close to 0 gold? 🤔
It'll be 2 days from now. Wednesday.
Sure. 1 second.
Hit Alt C
Then go to Enhance tab.
at the top.
Universal storage in your card book
wait
There's a section somewhere in here when you press ESC for Universal Storage.
why kharmine only exist xd
ohh this one
Oh yeah.
Yep
Claim all that.
Select All at the top and there should be a claim button somewhere.
There was a server merge a while back.
That's why you have to do that.
How to get/grind gold in this game ?
Mainly by doing raids
ah yes i heard from my guildmate
Yes.
what cards u guys use?
Light of Salvation is the DPS card set.
Lostwind Cliff is the Support Card Set.
If you wait until Wednesday, 2 days from now:
The event will give you Light of Salvation completed set. (30-set awakening).
As well as Lostwind Cliff.
bonkers
There are new card sets for Tier 4 content but you don't need to really worry about that right now.
btw can i add you? because i think im still going to have a lot of question
I cant wait for NAE and NAW to merge 😭
because my old guild is here
first question: Why are you a degenerate?
I remember playing 8 characters XD
idk. genetic thing
im going to play only 1 im old now
Yeah stick with 1. Maybe 2 or 3.
You don't need 6.
we all start there buddy
Eventually you'll get 6 through events since the game gives events like powerpass every few months.
But don't try to keep up with all of them.
the curse
Not necessary.
I only do so because I have 14k hours and uh... it's the only game I play. I have the luxury of time.
i think i will just stick to this two for now
Play within your means and don't burn yourself out.
Why 6 of them Paladins tho 😭
yea thats the reason i quit
Because I like paladin that much.
at somepoint i become lunatic
1700 female pally day 1
what u mean bro he's clearly a zerker main
That's the goal.
Yeah I was LOL. For 2 years.
traitor
with whirlwind
This is the history of my roster if you are interested.
u havent stop ever since?
Nope.
I've been playing since day 1 of pre-launch
Never took any serious or long break.
i take to many 3-4 month breaks so i have only about 4k hours not full degen
shietttt
u can catch up pretty fast as long as u got the cards tho
u can take long breaks
I'm accustomed to playing only one game. It's why I play MMOs. I need a game to waste my life on. before lost ark it was WoW.
wait what server are you originally?
everytime i take my break i make sure my ilvl is basically at the next raids normal mode thats releasing at least
Originally I was Galatur. (Same server as Asmongold). Then I merged into Luterra.
the only cancer part of catching up realistically is the card collection
like last time i took my break my main was 1690
Yay fellow casual gamer 
Galatur rammed Luterra's ass confirmed
by AGS
its canon now
I did do HM brel 3rd week it was out so i got the blue title tho
I spent millions & millions of gold to go from a 6 dps roster to a 6 paladin roster.
Mordum i just came back two weeks ago and did my first normal mode this week
but uh i died pretty early in g3

what u expect? to one shot it first try? 💀
i mean thats what happened with g1 and g2 lol
and the party did beat it in one try i just died early
where i can look for gems price in the auction?
i see more prog parties for last few raids more often now, there might be a resurgence of players
so i didnt get to learn it
If your curious, I main swapped from zerker to scrapper with akkan release. Shortly after I swapped back to Zerker. When Voldis came out, I main swapped to Paladin and that's when I decided I wanted a full support roster. From Voldis release, it took from Voldis all the way to Brelshaza Tier 4, for me to swap out all DPS characters.
Gems tab in auction section
wow its still expensive
well, if there is a gate to jail on then it's g3. That shit is fun to do over and over again
one thing that irritated me was i couldnt use vestiage to reposition
i am so used to using it that way lmao
and you cant go through the boss
yea well he's more annoying in the first part then it's so good
it doesnt bother me the whole fight cuz im hitmaster
You can still use it to reposition.
Just not through the boss.
Guys I played in west launch a few years ago but didn’t go too far. I would be interested to start but I would like to “erase” my progress and start anew as I remember nothing. Is a new steam account my only option?
You can start by just selecting a different server.
Or a different region.
Starting over 💀
I don't recommend starting over though.
Just delete any characters you aren't interested in.
But if you stopped playing in like early 2022.. then it doesn't really matter.
The story doesn’t teach you anything important
Just depends on when you stopped.
yea once i get a hang of the fight ill probably enjoy it
I feel like I stopped before finishing the story in 2022. I just don’t want any account wide progress to remain.
Then select a different server.
Within the region you want to play.
Account progress is per server.
So just select a different one.
Ok thanks!
Wasting time to do story over
I don’t have time to begin with. Since I Willa ways not be able to be at cap, I figure start over and play slow
Combat was nice
Even trivial stuff
Yeah that's fine.
Regardless, the event coming out in 2 days will jump you to semi-endgame territory.
Best time to come back.
Ask questions & take your time.
Wait event? Could I play without a huge chunk of early game becoming irrelevant!from the get go?
Of course.
In 2 days there is a massive event coming out.
It's basically handing you a semi-end game character for free. Use that event to get used to raids, the daily loop, systems, etc.
That's why it's kind of pointless to "start over" on a different server lol.
Ok but the problem with me is I won’t have time to maintain a raid ready character so could I skip the event all together?
I would just stick to the server you were playing on. Some progress is better than starting over from scratch.
What do you mean by time to maintain?
Skipping the event is equivalent to turning down money that someone is handing to you with no catch involved.
theres solo mode raids which are fun to especially for a new player and you can do them whenever
That's silly. You don't skip these events. You take advantage of them. They are offered for a reason.
As Rocco said there are solo raids which you can do at your own pace
Hey started like 2 days ago, is there a reason to wait for this or can I solo it? I've been in queue for 30 minutes 😭
You can solo it.
Queue isn't occuring because that is super early-game guardian raid that no one does.
People just skip those kind of guardian raids.
You can solo just about anything up til, starting on wednesday, Aegir a endgame? raid
i mean up to*
Guardian raids can take quite a bit solo though.
Okay yeah soloing this took literally 2 mins
Does exchanging RC for gold in the F4 shop require you wait 3 days like selling items does?
RC exchange goes on a 3 day hold
Tyty
Has anyone had a quest vanish on them? I'm unsure what to do. I had a quest on shadow island for that tower to go to floor 10, I know I never went past floor 5 because the barrier is still up, and my quest is gone now. The NPC in the base room also doesn't have it
have you checked on journal? press J and look on the "In Progress" tab
Yea I did check them all
@slate geyser do i need to solo mode now or just wait until wed brother?
you checked on "Completed" by doing Area Name Search?
Quests dont just vanish but maybe that will help
I'll check, but idk how it would be there when I didn't go to floor 10 yet
Hello I have a question, when are we going to be able to trade on different server?
Maybe never
did they removed this?
guys i have problem here it seems i can't unlock guardian quest in my friend account and if i try to talk to npc i cant talk to him or even abonadon quest is it possible thta this quest is buged
whats the point of "enable locked enchantments" then
does not work for bracelets cuz technically it can also be a downgrade if u reroll them?
its only for strictly upgrades like honing?
Kind of. They are a gold una token now that is exchanged for bound gold. You can't get the old ones anymore
Did you accept the quest from the guide tab there?
& did you finish North vern/get to level 50?
Is this announced or just a guess?
Yes they said in october they are going to merge NAW and NAE
yeah from guide tap but he is currently in rohendal already finished north vern
Huh, that'll actually be nice for me lol
Maybe ill actually find a newbie/casual friendly guild
You've accepted the quest? Are you tracking it?
cant track it and quest already in progress
Why can't you track it? Go to the in progress tab and check the box to track it
In progress tab
oh damn
are you kidding me xD
it seems it was in front of me all the time and i didn't see it thx bro
Did they change the brel solo to be 1500 recently?
Nope
First two gates are 1490, g3 is 1500
G4 is 1520
is the royal luterran trade ship not always up?
i thought it was always at one of the given islands
Do u guys know the rate to get the bloodclaw from SH Dispatch? It's been weeks of dispatching and using tickets and I still don't manage to get it
Having horizontal content stopped behind RNG shit is so bad
And it's not like it's not an important one
If it would've been a stupid mokoko seed I wouldn't mind
im in the same boat we dont know the rate ive been told. Everyone else ive talked to got it within a week, but ive been doing two weeks of dispatches constantly and no fragment yet
Game randonly frooze from nowhere ? what can cause that (never happened before)
This is crazy bad game design damn
I think it spawns every hour for 30 minutes
yea missing 3 enlightenment points because of total rng is kinda annoying
only mounts you can use there are Ladybugs
usually some lag when you load into a region with a lot of things to load
- game is optimized like shit
Feelsbad, i dont remember it happening, sure some random quick freezes but game just stop answering now a eternity to open again
Still some grs to do.
I also have been using notexturestreaming (that ill remove now just bcs i dont wnt to wait 10m on menu) but because black screens for some secs on act3 raid.
yeah "notexturestreaming" doesn't work very well anymore
Yeah but not an option to remove it
Since act3 raid feels weird without
I still get like 2-3s of blackscreen on g3, but on others it load instant
without it is way more
from a point the boss is already putting u in the ground
Does the "2D" on this mean it will disappear in 2 days?
with the new patch? Assuming lots of new F4 shop things?
probably yes
Debating if it's worth to buy and hold onto, or if I should wait to see what new items come out with patch
Have 3k RC atm
i wouldnt buy it, idk about you
i'd wait for something that focuses mainly on abidos
Very true
Is the gold you get from selling trade mats on the market bound? I assume not, but I want to be certain
no, tradeable
Yes
I hear theres a new powerpass coming soon, I assume itd be a waste to use it on my Slayer who is already 1412?
The box gives 400 abidos. The one that gives only abidos and juice mate gives 500 abidos price difference of 4 dollars
Guys Can you help me pick the right class? I want to play as healer, what is the best and most desireble by party/raid class i can pick?
All sup are good
But there isn’t a healer class
All supports are primarily buffers with heals when needed
Just to confirm, Express event is NOT tied to the power pass, right? They are seperate things?
Yes
did they remove t4 gem exchange on ship?'
T4 gem is in south remiria ship
You use it on whoever you want to main, 1400 is still very very far from where the pass puts you at due to forced waiting time on gear sets, not even including the gold for orehas
A month and a half of forced wait
cant find it on the ships is it rng based?
Its from the plumpcrab ship not the spearfishing one
It rotates every 30mins
nice info 👍
Hey if I live in a country that lost ark isnt available and have to open acc with vpn that is mean that I cant use money in game right? like cant use my credit card
hey i just joined a guild, i'm trying to get activity points, i'm told i should be able to donate but i don't see the button?
Alt + u top right corner
You can't donate within several days of joining a guild anyway
I think i still want to main Slayer, its hard to say though
You can use it on whatever, like they said most likely. Im gonna make a slayer and use it on that so i can stockpile shit for when i get trusted and can send shit to myself lol
Yea, i went from north vern to South kurzan in roughly 4 weeks. Granted i have no life and spent like 10-12 hours a day playing. I did knowledge transfer up to south vern which is where youre already at
I dont think i actually started south vern yet
The problem is im an altoholic lmao
But I should really get one character like.. properly set up before trying to work on a 2nd one, it just feels bad to use it on a character that's already at an okay point compared to a fresh character
1400 isnt really an okay point these days anymore
I cant even remember how long it took me to do shi lol after i hit 1415 i went and did valtan for a bit.. we dont talk about my first valtan kill.. Anyway I did that and i think i upgraded my purple set to +15 so i did valtan and vykas, and got the weapon first
like 1580 is where i would consider powerpassing a dif char
I just did south kurzan so im good for powerpass lol
My glavier is at 1425 so i dont have kakul unlocked just yet or able to do 1430 content
Yeah youre not wrong Rocco, just comparing to a fresh character without any power passes or anything lol
You can make a new character for the pass and thatll unlock Knowledge transfer up to south kurzan. And how it works is it skips story (you can miss out on quite a bit of roster xp) but have to get the ilvl to do the next KT
if you really like slayer you could also just make another slayer powerpass that one use the event on that one then play the 1400 you have slowly over time to experience more of the earlier content solo
i have two SEs in my main six cause i like SE
Yeah I mean the only reason im considering doing another class at all is im just not sure if I still want to main Slayer
Im an indecisive hoe
Im just a hoe

go zerker then
Tbf one of the names i use IS "Thotius Thad"
could wait for Valk to come out
then use the event stuff and powerpass for her
Shes female paladin
Play your slayer and hold the stuff for valk. Idk exactly what NOT to do since im using it for a slayer
Oh true, that's an option
Though I have a paladin with an outfit from launch days lol
He's just sitting at like level 33
New patch goes live tomorrow?
Do we happen to know the exact date of august valkyrie global release?
Well, i mean no matter which day it is, it wont go "live" til the maint ends 🥲
And from the vets in here they say 30 hours, 20 hours 36, 18 So yea
considering smilegate
they say its gonna 4 hour downtime
and they gonna expand it for 20 hours
so yeah
Uh huh "4 hours"
I havent experienced but depending on what ive see its def a lie lol
yeah im being humble
Did the recent maint last like 7 hours for a much smaller update?
I just wanna use one of the 4 names i have ready for Slayer
yeah i made my character like 1 month ago so xd
im chill about the name
shes almost 70 now
feel like some of the recent large patches took 6-8 hours
Idk which one to use lol
I just wish i could use Artemis.. I have it there though just in case
How is Gunslinger?
you mostly can't
Good
Just general. I wanna see if it sounds like my kinda playstyle
mobile
Good aoe with good single attack. Like SE but with gun?
It does say the control difficulty is pretty hard, and i love that
Little bit high on the apm side, dmg feels good, good mobility, decent ceiling, pm feels better with 4th node
Fun? Bet
Since shes a glass cannon ill be able to learn how to properly evade counter and all that
yeah fun for sure
And if you don’t wanna deal with the three weapon swaps TTH is getting buffed on the 23rd and is easier to play
You can messed around with both
Let me go look up her cosmetics
you should know the boss really well tho
i would say
Character bound gem system will let you swap around easily and tripods are going away
she is easily one of the best looking class out there
is character gems covered in the patch notes?
if you can create her good ofc
Yeah top three with female warrior and assassins
err...the update description i guess
for sure
Kinda
Are there no slayer skins?
They touched on it in the state of the game newsletter or w/e it’s called
Would there be a place where i can buy some combat chests? with silver?
enough for me to understand what it is? am i negatively or positively affected by this change =X
Theres a couple sources of silver chests but can be expensive compared to what that specific currency can buy
what is combat chest
the one with bombs in it or cloack or potions
If you share gems between characters, nothing changes
Oh he meant those
yeah you can't
I have em from an event long ago, had like 300 of each
either craft them or game gives you with events
Still have around 200 for util off and buff
oh ok
If you like to play both specs for a class or want to try out the other spec, it’s a positive change unless you share gems with multiple of the same class
im using it instantly unless its utility one
Yea, thats what i did with SE and ended up on nights edge
and if i literally never move gems between chars except to funnel to my main?
Alot of enemies=Alot of damage lol
No diff
this is her legendary skin youll be able to get for free from the free legendary skin box
wait the free skin is only for female warrior?
The system lets you bound gems to a character and you can swap them from cd to dmg as well as change the skill for free
No its for any class legendary skin from season 3 probably
So any eternity skin
^
Ohh ok, I might stick to Gunslinger then
wait so they gonna give away legendary skin box?
You can cover up legendary skin
but its optional?
So doesn’t really matter
yeah
5when?
Yes
these are the gunslinger ones, you can put a purple skins aesthetic over it tho so you can run swimsuit stuff over it
right one looks fire for gs
remember if you don't know the boss well you don't want to play gs
On patch on wednesday, you can save it and use it for valkyrie to
And back loaded dmg
I can learn the bosses and her rotations by doing it. I have to play until it clicks for me
If anything ill have to practice when to use the anim lock skills and not use ek
Hello
You craft your own pots,atro,stim or buy it ?
i always bought it , its better to craft?
how long do i have to wait for this quest?
keep doing the story
unless thats teh current endpoint? i ahven't looked at my questlog in a minute
yeah
yeah thats my story, i dont see any other story quests
if so, eventually™
Thjats act 3 i thing
Right?
its not time gated what continent did you last do
so guys just wanted to make sure we're gonna get legendary skin box this wednesday?
Elgacia
okay yeah so just keep going
check your guide quests
Its been there for 3 years at the least
whats your ilvl you may not be high enough for voldis yet
Its a quest you literally have to wait for them to add
alright i guess just need to hone to 1475 for the next story
Its not related to Voldis
No the current last quest is inherited will
Thats world quest
I dont*
dereliction of duty
Have you finished north kurzan?
it doesn't progress til kurzan, iirc
Pretty sure its only this seasons yoz jar so no
we'll find out for sure when it comes out cause as you know.. People dont read lol
It’s only s3
See, i didnt read it but they did. They are great people
Im trying to make a "Artemis" style for my gunslinger lol
Are they dyeable?
Yes
Good
The particle effects arnt
So the golden specs on the white will always be that color
Well, lets just say thats her "godly" particle lol
nah it should be opposite as i remember
ah wait
you said t3
nvm
yes tier 3
where r u seeing that?
Should I hone until 1475 and complete pleccia and then buy the 1580 powerpass for 10 euros? or just spend 20 euros now.
im only really lacking in orehas for honing
to be clear, you're not using the upcoming powerpass on this character?
theyre thinking about that or making another character
We get a free 1580 in a few days or tomorrow
no, need to save that for valk
Who wants to carry me through Sona? O.O
wallet angle then, it's not unreasonable to just play through, but if you were keen, either of those would be fine
middleman?
matchmake
Ah
even normally, sonavel gets play
with the guardian event going on it should be very quick
Hope im the weakest cause if im not O.O
number 4 on the meters, number 1 in our hearts
I do have max rest though
do you guys use average or worst case for the honing calculator?
both, tbh
whats the best nae server?
do you convert your t3 quality gear to t4?
no best, lutterra or balthorr @sacriate there can ask for elp@opal gorge
if its higher totally
Hey, im trying to get back to the game, i haven't played since ivory tower came out, could anyone help me to understand what is going on?
Tripods are the amulet system right?
Gonna be deleted on the next update (iirc)
whatcha after?
Yeah just making sure i understand what's being removed 😅
Idk, the new patch that is coming out this week is looking interesting
sac didn’t appear
I don't even know what is going on with engravings etc 😛
Lol yea
Engraving system seems much nicer. As a returning player it seems like you get all of them base for free, and then you can get books to upgrade their rarities to get a better boost
And then ability stones give them levels which I think also just increases how effective they are?
engraving replaced by ark passive, learn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad7xL5eSpOo
With Ark Passive soon to be available to everyone, I felt like it was a good time to have an overview video going over each tab in ark passive, as well as how to get points/manage each tab.
Thanks for watching guys and if you liked the video then leave a thumbs up or subscribe if you'd like! It's always much appreciated.
Watch me live on Twitc...
I could be wrong but that's my base understanding
Thanks
Yeah, but i don't even know how to activate class engraving lmao
Get the minimum required Ilvl the last one needing 1540
i just started the game which class would you recommend guys?
The ones equipped are active and you can get a stone with 2 of them to increase its bonus
Like, lets say you get a preemtive strike stone with grudge but you use grudge and not preemptive the stone wont activate its buff
I've 1580 Slayer
You should be able to equip 5 and then youll need a stone to give a boost to the engravings
That's from the ark passive that you were just sent a video from ^.^
I had the same problem last night
upcoming stuff r south kurzan powerpass ilevel 1580, hyper express event helps u achieve higher lvls, if u plan to play valkyrie then ull have to wait next month to use them on her
paradise event helps newbie in various things
Yeah im probably gonna save my kurzan pass for Valk, which means i gotta slow roll my Slayer in the meantime
Yo, im trying to build a kind of OoE Arcanist build. What should i put my skill points in? Or should i try a different and more beginner friendly class?
OoE?
You should be using a build guide right?
What the helly
I mainly use https://www.lostark.nexus
For my build info
Whats an OoE
order of the emperor
So emperor build?
yeah
The 2 builds are listed as Emporer or emporess's grace
