[rose wren]

trash doesnt exist

[empty thistle]

well im trash at this game

[minor igloo]

but blue has giga visual clutter in raids so keep that in mind

[pale wasp]

wait i thought crucible was solo why does it say whole party

the heal orb i mean

[faint cedar]

i dont remember honestly

we cleared first gate and thats when we noticed there was a dc

[raw thorn]

ah

[rose wren]

[faint cedar]

but was 2am so nobody was gonna plus 1 that shit

[raw thorn]

it was a gunlancer in my party

[faint cedar]

that was last night

[raw thorn]

Yeah

[faint cedar]

are u on NAE?

[raw thorn]

Yup

[faint cedar]

prob same party then

[raw thorn]

it was at like 11pm est tho

[faint cedar]

maybe not then

[raw thorn]

he was doing it multiple times

[faint cedar]

unlucky either way

[raw thorn]

i joined his party again on my alt

like 30 mins after just to tell people to block him

[faint cedar]

lol

[empty thistle]

so if im trash at this game which one of slayer specs is better?

[quaint mulch]

matchmaking right?

[faint cedar]

not gonna find anyone

[quaint mulch]

Luterra

[hexed belfry]

Descent Transmute?

[faint cedar]

join ill kill it for u

[rose wren]

ur 1600 thats a 1415...

[faint cedar]

oh lol

[quaint mulch]

i thought yall told me to match make itl mao

[faint cedar]

ur in the wrong one

[minor igloo]

both are shackled with being positional. but predator has more leeway for mistakes

[faint cedar]

this one

[empty thistle]

thanks

[rose wren]

u fart and it deads there lol

[quaint mulch]

oh ur right

[quaint mulch]

oh, you wanted me to join this one?

[faint cedar]

i thought u were 1400 and needed help

go slap it urself lmfao

[hot dock]

does anyone know if elgacia prerequisite quests get skipped on other characters if you use powerpass?

[quaint mulch]

just did lmao

[faint cedar]

if you buy eglacia, p sure it completes eglacia

but u gotta do everything after

[ionic valve]

How much could this sell for NA East?

[random monolith]

question regarding paradise, what preset does it use? or are u not able to use identity skills etc in paradise?

[quaint mulch]

i can enter every guardian raid for free right? I loved achievement hunting in other mmorpgs, especially when it came to old raids

[faint cedar]

yes, just can only claim one reward

[quaint mulch]

wym?

[rose wren]

yea only get reward from 1, should collect from the highest u can

[quaint mulch]

so i cant get these?

[faint cedar]

you get 1 daily guardian raid soul

shows top left

[quaint mulch]

what does those ven do?

[faint cedar]

if you havent done your daily for rewards and youre doing old content, make sure you uncheck claim guardian's will

[quaint mulch]

oh damn, too late lmao

[ionic valve]

wwhat hes trying to say is you can only get the reward from one but you can fight as many you want each day

you just wont get the drops from the others

you can still get the achievements though

[manic quarry]

you were also paying attention to how i Just Guarded the stuff right

[quaint mulch]

can you solo a chaos dungeon, are the rewards limited to 1 there too?

like once i do one, i cant get rewards from the others?

[pale wasp]

is it worth it to trade karma bottles for keystones to craft ancient gear or should i use them on the trees

[faint cedar]

just wait the extra week

putting yourself behind on karma doesnt sound like a good deal imo

[quaint mulch]

who me?

[faint cedar]

not u

[pale wasp]

hmm ok

[faint cedar]

how close are you to full ancient set?

[pale wasp]

i need the weapon and hands

[faint cedar]

yeah just wait for weekly mats and run aegir then

karma seems pretty important

[pale wasp]

im out of aegir i gotta wait smh

[faint cedar]

someone mentioned 6 months to complete

[quaint mulch]

@rose wren wow, it seems like doing old content doesn't seem worth it in this game? if you can only get drops from 1 dungeon/guardian raid per weekly reset or something. Meanwhile Chaos dungeons cost orbs. So it seems the only repeatable content for rewards that isnt limited is Legion raids?

[pale wasp]

its prolly less now

[faint cedar]

idk it's current content, probably only faster if youre on express since extra mats outside of raid

[pale wasp]

yea my brand new character has more ancient than my main cuz of the express lol

[faint cedar]

yeah my mains at 1641 still

meanwhile my dblades at 1669

[rose wren]

thats how it always been, set amount of dailies to earn drops ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[quaint mulch]

damn

I guess Ill try and finish this express event and go back to D2 T.T I like doing old content because there's usually nothing else to do outside of gear progression F

[pale wasp]

u can easily get to 1660 with the event pass

[quaint mulch]

Constantly grinding gets boring

[quaint mulch]

im about to do the 2nd boss on the pass rn

[pale wasp]

bosses r also nerfed so it should be ez

[livid fossil]

So dumb down of vykes is one shadow now my question is where do I stand behind or on

It

[ripe acorn]

I wold told that the "small safe" was the best one to buy this tru?

[rose wren]

mid,large(copium often jackpot gain more)

[livid fossil]

That is if you are a scared of gamba middle one

But you are playing a gamba game lol so might as well go big or go home

[tacit hollow]

HOW/WHEN do i unlock paradise?

[bold geyser]

mid should give you about 500g each

[bold geyser]

finish south kurzan

[rose wren]

1580 skurzan msq complete

[manic quarry]

Small Safe is your middleground between getting too little gold and losing on too little gold

[ripe acorn]

thx guys

[simple flicker]

cannot use class engrave on paradise?

[livid fossil]

Nope bare bones

Just skills

And the items that drop

[restive shard]

honestly wished they lowered hyper awakening to 1620 as it goes it line with advance honing t3 gear to get rid of all mats

[bold geyser]

next time one of you midchest believers opens a bunch let me know what you get out of it

for science

[quaint mulch]

question, is there a reason a counter attack wont work?

[balmy plank]

Missed the front or misstimed

[visual zephyr]

When should i use the scroll for advanced honing? same time when i use the juice mats aka the 7 dragon balls glowing or always use scrolls?

[balmy plank]

Use on full grace when its all glowy

[visual zephyr]

okie dokie

[quaint mulch]

are these extra rewards ever worth it?

[livid fossil]

Do you need to craft that set of gear

[paper walrus]

if you need the specific raid mat

which you dont

[livid fossil]

Yes

[abstract dirge]

thanks ! this is a random pouch though not a selector

[umbral vigil]

hello can i get clear medals every week if i do all the raids solo? can i also do it on multiple toons?

[lament nimbus]

ah, true - they did post a 50k gold bar from low level as well btw, so it seems like there's a decent chance the loot pool the same

[abstract dirge]

probably ! just personally really looking for some undeniable confirmation hehe

[slow moth]

how do i get mokoko expert token. i have been doing Behemoth but it give me mokoko token not mokoko exper token

[cloud pendant]

does these orb apply only to paradise or other content too?

[dull leaf]

maybe u too high ilvl?

u can only get mokoko or expert tokens

[faint cedar]

hah got the random group that got dc at g2 behe

lets go

[balmy plank]

You can only get one or the other. If you are designated a mokoko you get a leaf icon and only get mokoko tokens

[slow moth]

weird i only get mokoko token not expert

ahhhh ok

[dull leaf]

then ur ilvl is low, and maybe u didn't clear brel g1 10x

[faint cedar]

^

if you have a green icon on the raid page u get mokoko tokens

not expert

[supple isle]

What does "named foes" mean. I assumed bosses, but, I have a skill that said named foes or lower which would just be everything in that case?

[frosty osprey]

How do I get to asura island? I’m trying to do adventure island in 20 minutes but when I get there there’s no island.

[lime beacon]

it applies in all content outside paradise

[livid fossil]

If there no one there it will vanish it needs people

[shell tartan]

does anyone know if there is a way to get silver by spending money?

i m completely out of silver and i have no idea how to get more in large quantities

[balmy plank]

Yes, but I would highly not recommend it

There are the Honor SIlver packs in the cash shop for silver and shards that arnt decent value. Otherwise at the gold/una token exchange you can spend 1k gold for 100k silver

It is a very very bad exchange rate

[quaint mulch]

dismantle?

[cosmic belfry]

how do you exchange cube ticket for hell keys? thanks

[rose jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/you-don't-invincible-omni-man-jk-simmons-that's-the-neat-thing-gif-4390372980992221432

[balmy plank]

Yea. For bracelets, the perfectly ideal thing youre looking for, is 2 fixed lines with your stats (crit/swift/spec) then 2 (3 for ancient) additional lines.

[unborn trench]

is slayer good? how does it compare to the other classes?

[balmy plank]

Slayer is good. Shes kinda mid/high range

[shell tartan]

ohhh thank you!

[unborn trench]

what're good/fun glass cannon classes?

[minor igloo]

Everyone other than supports are glass cannons

Some a little beefier but in general the game does not reward being a chonky boi much

[balmy plank]

I feel like the squishiest classes make up for it with mobility over insane damage

Gunners or mages can be squishy. Ignite sorc is really bursty

[unborn trench]

ahh, i'm looking for just like highest dps sorta, my coworkers said they just need pure dps so, i'm alright with complicated i have time to learn

is high mobility important tho?

[woven saddle]

hey yall, just getting back into the game after a few years, remind me do I need cards again?

[manic quarry]

coworkers. you got coworkers playing with you? that must be very nice....

[unborn trench]

soon, once i level up :D

wanna be careful choosing class since i only get 1 power pas i think

[manic quarry]

pure dps huh. well do you care about having to sweat a bit?

[mellow mauve]

cards are here to stay forever

you get free los 30 and lwc 30 with the express event tho

[balmy plank]

I wouldnt meta chase too hard. Player skill is WAY more impactful on performance than the class choice. Meta & Balance patches change frequently and the required investment into a class is far too high to bounce around.
That said RE deathblade is a pretty dominating top performer. Idk anything about the class tho

[woven saddle]

so should i carefully choose which cards I want for my build? im mayhem berserker

or it wouldnt affect build

[unborn trench]

i will sweat my balls off

[mellow mauve]

you get both

all dps run the same card set

and all supports run the same card set

[balmy plank]

Star of Destiny is your starter card set you get for free
Deep Dive is the middle dps card set. You can tag them and they are all available from wandering merchants
Light of Salvation is your endgame card set and some are available from merchants and some are only from rng card packs

[manic quarry]

alright, thats going to open doors to the sweatiest classes with high demanding APM performances

[unborn trench]

thats why i'm emphasizing i have time to learn anything, i wanna put in the time actually i want more mechanics lol

[unborn trench]

i want that ngl, i like having to do mroe work for 10 more damage

more reward for time played :D i feel like i'm actually PLAYING

[manic quarry]

arcanist, gunslinger, deathblades, reapers, you name it

[balmy plank]

Play Arcana and put your brain in overdrive

[unborn trench]

understand captains, thank you!

[muted arrow]

you should just check out uwuowo.mathi.moe and see the highest parsing classes for each raid

[manic quarry]

ill prob throw wardancer and soulfist at you too

[unborn trench]

i've heard wardancer got alot of nerfs but imma check it out, they seem fun a lil

[unborn trench]

i checked otu alot of sites but idk which is actually legit cause ALL of them are completely different

[manic quarry]

uwuowo is the most legitimate one with players submitting their parse records

[balmy plank]

If you want to hear someone talk and showcase the classes Cauhhty has a long video covering everything. Uwu is reliable for straight numbers and graphs

[manic quarry]

which creates something like this

but thats just mordum performance

[unborn trench]

tyvm for the info everyone :)

[hybrid marsh]

anyone have the optimal manor outfits/items list for oreha crafting?

[supple isle]

Does no one have the answer for this?

[kindred juniper]

is it always this low?

[bold geyser]

the success rate?

[hybrid marsh]

thats still quite high

[bold geyser]

its not always that low, it's usually much lower 💀

[tawdry sigil]

is it worth spamming out all cube tickets or wait till next una task?

cuz idk how frequently i can get them

[kindred juniper]

oooh... so i should just try to use 30%?

or should i aim to make it higher

[bold geyser]

dont use solars, if that's what you're asking

[balmy plank]

I would just tap. Save stuff like solars that boost odds for later hones

[bold geyser]

you can use books, if you have them

[kindred juniper]

the tailoring books?

i have a truck ton of them

[balmy plank]

Yea, those are good to use

[bold geyser]

Boss > Challenge > Named > Normal

[drifting cargo]

got a question

how many gem boxes would i get from t4 unlock 2 if i have 46 tickets

[bold geyser]

276?

can't type sorry

[drifting cargo]

all good

how many boxes are 1

is it 6

or 9

[bold geyser]

6 per

so thats...one level 4 gem? i think?

[drifting cargo]

ya

[bold geyser]

nope, 2x lvl 3

[drifting cargo]

lvl 3 is the 1st unlock

lvl4 is the one i have

2nd unlock

[bold geyser]

i think its 1 lvl 3 in 1640, 2 lvl 3 in 1680

looks like 1700 is 8 chests, so just shy of a lvl 4

[manic quarry]

That only comes from a lucky room

[bold geyser]

wiki may be wrong then 🙂

[balmy plank]

I would just run 1 and math it out after

[manic quarry]

You get lv2 t4 gem boxes in Second unlock

[balmy plank]

Idk the gem count off the top of my head but it only takes 4 mins to run it and grab the calculator

[manic quarry]

Which is better than the lv1s in first

And you get a guaranteed set amount of boxes at the end of the cube

[dry python]

anyone here

?

[balmy plank]

Yes

[minor briar]

ask away

[dry python]

how do i get the tome

[minor briar]

[dry python]

i need guild for ineeenee

[cosmic belfry]

so in order to get 3 hell key next week you just have to participate in crusible once right? thanks

[balmy plank]

Correct

[quaint mulch]

can you refine an ancient accessory, or should i grab a relic accessory for this quest?

[balmy plank]

"Refine an accessory"
I would assume anything works just fine

[valid helm]

Any accessory works

Even t3 ones

[quaint mulch]

which is the cheapest?

[valid helm]

Go to solo mode shop

Grab 1 there

With tokens

Or do a daily

Choas/ guardian raid

Or any solo mode raid

Like valtan (with no gold rewards)

[balmy plank]

Take a t3 one because they only cost silver to refine

[quaint mulch]

should i dismantle this?

i accidently bought it

[visual zephyr]

what the percent dmg gain for lvl 1 , 4th lvl node for enlightenment?

[dry python]

your tier 3s will be stronger than any other tier 3s

even 4s

[worthy steppe]

hey guys what card catalog should i be focusing as a striker class?

[dry python]

they will give you more gear when you level up your gear

[round umbra]

do people still buy t3 lv7 gems off the auction house? or no point putting tht on the auction house anymore

[quaint mulch]

is this a good distribution for Drizzle Aero?

[mellow mauve]

no

you generally take your most important dmg skills to 14

[quaint mulch]

this doesn't tell me anything

i dont have any points for that

the ones i put points in are listed as most important

at least in theskill section

[balmy plank]

As long as youre matching the skills and tripods youre fine

If you dont have skill points then its whatever until you do get them

[worthy steppe]

hey anyone know about card and striker?

[hardy crystal]

some chests are saying I need to finish a "[content unlock] Elixer" quest but i dont have and cant find anything on how to get the quest anyone know how to get the quest?

[livid fossil]

Ivorotower

G1

[hardy crystal]

?

[livid fossil]

Ivory tower g1 not challenge mission

[obsidian valve]

it's an abyssal dungeon

[balmy plank]

Normally Finish at least G1 ivory tower, then do the guide quest under the Guide tab

[rose jewel]

all DPS use Light of Salvation that you get from the express, later on you can focus on the others

[hot smelt]

whats the rush

[balmy plank]

fomo is the rush

[rose jewel]

clearly

[midnight nimbus]

Can you do card runs for the 5(?) extra LoS-equivalent sets we need? Which raids drop them?

[hot smelt]

bruh so only way is RMT?

[candid lake]

Did anyone else's disc or LoA just shit itself?

if you're in east?

[balmy plank]

Well certainly not, no

[balmy plank]

Nop

[worthy steppe]

so i just get light of salvation and max it out first?

[candid lake]

for some reason it was just those two that I know of

[midnight nimbus]

Lots of people have gold and mats saved up from before the event

[candid lake]

[rose jewel]

[hot smelt]

[worthy steppe]

❤️

[hot smelt]

thanks

[cloud pendant]

where do i run the dungeon to get pieces to transfer from 1620 to 1640?

[balmy plank]

Doesn't really matter. All major things are region wide. Luterra has the biggest population tho if that matters to you

[balmy plank]

Tier 4 content UI. It'll be near the top, Kenuart Fortress

[cloud pendant]

its unlimited run right?

until i get all 6 pieces?

whciih one is T4 chaos dungeon?

[minor igloo]

It's called Kurzan Front on the warmap

[unborn trench]

how great is the reward for learning to play arcanist?i understand she is complicated but i wanna know that i'm not gonna learn her just for it to be the worst dps 😭

[quaint mulch]

@rose wren https://youtu.be/xWpTrodfwwU?feature=shared is this a good guide, i like this way better than that long asf other guide i was linked to

i dont have the attention span for a 2 hour guide lmao

[cloud pendant]

[rose jewel]

a bit outdated but works

[worthy steppe]

ty

[faint cedar]

its leap you karma first?

just hit 1670

[velvet timber]

Why can't I dismantle upgraded items. I just hit 1250, and assume I no longer need my 1100

[rose jewel]

both leap and enlight

20 20

[rose jewel]

hone transfer 1100 to new t3

+1 free

[velvet timber]

What's hone transfer

[mellow mauve]

you go rank 1 leap to get access to the first level of t skill node with a t4 bracelet

then you max enlightenment to rank 6 first (dps) then leap then evo

[cloud pendant]

pleease advise where to complete this snake's tear achievement

[rose jewel]

on the same npc you hone your gear

[faint cedar]

i unlocked enlightenment and leap

[rose jewel]

tab named that exact way

hone or honing whatever

[faint cedar]

so gamble enlighten first to 6

[cloud pendant]

clear echidna?

[velvet timber]

What do I do with spare gems

[rose jewel]

fuse up

if they're "Bound" and you have better ones, trash them

[mellow mauve]

yes

[cloud pendant]

can anyone show me how to effectively auto dismanstle eqs from chaos

[cursive shadow]

Guys I bought 12k rc and got a pp for a wild soul I have now almost 6k rc left is there anything good to use those rc on or I just save to pp the Valkyrie when she comes ?

[balmy plank]

A nice skin you like. But probably save for valk or something else

Buying honing mats is always a loss

[cursive shadow]

Ok

Il check thx

[minor lake]

hmmm gold or the abundant fusion idk anymore

[worthy steppe]

gold gold gold 😄

[minor lake]

ok ohne

[mellow mauve]

fusion

[minor lake]

i do need to hone

maybe it is worth and i can use the gold i got right now

[cursive shadow]

also should my first priority to finish arkesia tour before advancing on the characters and all

[balmy plank]

I always take fusions over gold

[minor lake]

wish they werent bound to char but is what it is

[mellow mauve]

sooner you finish the less you have to worry about it

[balmy plank]

Yes

[mellow mauve]

if it wasn't char bound paradise would be a lot worse in terms of rewards

it being char bound lets it be soo juiced

[minor lake]

i see

damn i wanted to use the express on my SE but ig dcing out of solo akkan g1 locks me out of it so i cant go back into it until reset ig so no getting to 1585 anytime soon

[balmy plank]

You should have lots of time so don't worry

[minor lake]

thought theyd give those tickets to go back into it after being locked out but ig not

[balmy plank]

They stopped doing the reentry ticket system a long time ago now. People abused it to bus infinitely when Akkan first released

The express is intended to be used during the Valk release in late August so there is plenty of time to finish it

[mellow mauve]

and to cheese gear early

[gray hearth]

they didn't fix rewards / gate progress for DC people when they could have handled both problems at the same time. Flaws in the system you should be aware of

[worthy steppe]

which NPC is best to use my rapport on?

[wet sinew]

is the transcendence system gear bound or slot bound? if its gear bound can i transfer it from my t3 to my t4 later? goosh this game has 5 million systems to RNG roll and sink your gold in

[mellow mauve]

slot

[balmy plank]

Depends. There are some you do to finish adventure tomes. Some you do for collectables. Etc.

[wet sinew]

so i only need to roll it once per char?

[mellow mauve]

yeah, it carries with you when gear transfering

[gray hearth]

gear transfer to each next set will carry forward all the stuff like quality, set level, transcendence, etc

[balmy plank]

The ticket system was unique to us. When we abused it, it got taken away. It should be better but it is what it is

[wet sinew]

perfect, thanks for the explanation

[gray hearth]

or i guess they call it Gear upgrade effect level now, since no set bonuses any more

[wet sinew]

honestly they could haave just made like, "yo if you reach 1610, pay up 5000- 10000 gold (rng) or 200 bucks", "if you reach 1640, pay XYZ or 300 bucks" , in the end all these systems are there so you could rng sink your mats and gold in

[fiery perch]

Igniter or flux for Crucible? And should i follow Nexus or can i jsut use the battle style to get it

[mellow mauve]

class engraving doesn't work in crucible, you're playing base kit which is closer to igniter than reflux

[gray hearth]

without ark passive you'll end up using the Z damage boost so it's sort of igniter-ish

[fiery perch]

got it thanks

[gray hearth]

no counters either so squall would waste a slot

[quaint mulch]

i just realized, is there not a dwarf class?

[shadow pasture]

no dwarfs

[quaint mulch]

awh

[hot smelt]

guys anywhere i can buy life energy?

[quaint mulch]

nice pfp

[fiery perch]

Which do i choose to put it on preset 2?

[hot smelt]

i am on the edge

[fiery perch]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-funny-cat-gif-8207130040846002929

[hot smelt]

pls some vendor must sell life energy

[fiery perch]

Just make 5 alts ez

[balmy plank]

Only maris shop for blue crystals

[hot smelt]

damn i can't afford it too expensive, i will just wait to refill then

[fiery perch]

you wanna only get the purple ones anyway for 310

[mellow mauve]

the 210 is worth getting

[hot smelt]

isn't life energy sharded in roster?

Join Us Shin!

[hot smelt]

like another entier steam account?

[fiery perch]

yea lol

Im testing if this one gets trusted, fresh steam acc

[hot smelt]

lol neverrr

[hardy crystal]

does kayangels berserk buff ever go away in challenge express?

because i get it down to 80 lines then it outheals my dps

[shadow pasture]

nope

berserk is like suppose to be a

times up

its bit surprising tho that you are even hitting berserk in challenge express

[fiery perch]

He heals?

Whats your class and build?

[mellow mauve]

make sure you're running the dps build on supports

and not the support build when doing solo mode

[shadow pasture]

also make sure to use true supporter

also im pretty sure he asked this before as well 🥀

[bold geyser]

also make sure you're damaging the boss, not healing him

[fiery perch]

Dont forget to use your buff skills before using your big hitting skills. For the dps build sun keep and sun well are 2 buffs, only need one but do whichever you want

[fiery perch]

You can do that?

[bold geyser]

no =X

[copper knoll]

anyone knows how to get adventures seal token?

[fiery perch]

What skill is this? Sorc

[fiery perch]

Do arkesia tour

It gives like 50k

[copper knoll]

already did it and have 7k only

[bold geyser]

it means either seraphic hail or, whats that other one, rime arrow?

[fiery perch]

ahhh ok im using rime got it

[brazen wolf]

As a new player during these events.. What exactly should I be doing? I did Arkesia Tour, I just did the Solo Mode Valtan challenge, but I lack the mats & gold to get to 1600 to complete the next solo mode challenge. Is there something particular I should aim to do in regard to this?

[balmy plank]

Just keep up with your daily and weekly activities. Chaos dungeon, guardian raid, una tasks, raids, paradise etc. If you cant hit a honing breakpoint this week, there is always next week.

[bold geyser]

do your chaos, do sonavel, run solo akkan, solo brelshaza

[mellow mauve]

if you haven't already use your 1580 paradise keys that they gave out, you have a chance to rng gold from hell

[brazen wolf]

I definitely haven't done that, I can try it out

[bold geyser]

the gold is enticing but the fusions are around triple the value =X

[mellow mauve]

una tokens (weekly unas), can be exchanged for gold

and now you only need to clear 3 weekly unas to finish it

[mellow mauve]

yeah but for his current situation gold > fusion

[bold geyser]

ehhhh

[mellow mauve]

his express character will get enough fusion to get ot like 1610

not ehhhh

[shadow pasture]

new players are giga gold starved

[mellow mauve]

^

[shadow pasture]

and they want power

NOW

[gray hearth]

reaching next tier means next free 20k sooner, if you can get a higher raid tier before weekly reset should go for it

[shadow pasture]

not fusions for later

[bold geyser]

new players are everything starved

especially fusinos

[mellow mauve]

also gives them access to better gold earning solo raids

1600 gives ivory

1610 gives thaemine

[shadow pasture]

like shin malphur is a great example of gold starved

[mellow mauve]

not with the express event

[shadow pasture]

i think ive seen this guy become insane

[fiery perch]

Yea.. before trusted.. if i got unlucky (WHICH I DID) b3b artisan, its almost impossible especially if youve already done every gold aqui you could so.. Trusted FTW

[minor igloo]

back to back artisan on an express character is expected

[bold geyser]

agree to disagree 🙂

[fiery perch]

Last question, probably, What are Sorc's meter gen skills?

[minor igloo]

If it's the one that gives 2x artisan, you'll definitely hit back to backs at some point

[mellow mauve]

yeah but the express artisan isn't like real artisan, since you get 2x rate and are using books

[brazen wolf]

Alright I got the 2 keys, perhaps a stupid question... How do I descend to hell?

[bold geyser]

all of them

[fiery perch]

fuck

[bold geyser]

frosts call is your best one tho

[fiery perch]

yea, im tryna order it where i use my meter gen skills first

[shadow pasture]

https://tenor.com/view/fall-kirby-drop-falling-deep-gif-17081698

[mellow mauve]

you go to the paradise menu, alt + q

then click paradise

[minor igloo]

I don't see how that's a but, cause all that just fills the artisan% quicker

What would need 20 taps to pity is now like 8?

[brazen wolf]

Ah yeah I see it now

Let's give it a go then

[fiery perch]

🥲 i even know what b3b artisan on NON express is like

[bold geyser]

i think its frosts > inferno > rime for meter gen

[minor igloo]

Now that's just unluckge

[bold geyser]

though i can't help you with order, sorry

[fiery perch]

Ark passives do not work there so make sure you bring the best non ark reliant build

[bold geyser]

my sorc doesn't get a lot fo play

[fiery perch]

got it lol

[brazen wolf]

If only I knew wtf you just said to me

[fiery perch]

Tbf this ones just to see if i can get trusted on a fresh acc lol

[fiery perch]

Then youre good

o7

[shadow pasture]

your class may not function well in hell

[bold geyser]

"you might have to use different skills than you're used to to actually do anything"

probably not a bad idea to get some gear before you go in there

[brazen wolf]

Ahh I see. To be honest I just been using my normal Wildsoul build

[bold geyser]

i dont know how trivial the mobs are for a fresh paradise toon

[shadow pasture]

oh then youre fine

[brazen wolf]

Okay I cleared it, yeah wasn't so bad

[fiery perch]

Ok i like sorc lol she did great there

[brazen wolf]

Though I took the wrong chest for sure

[shadow pasture]

what did you take

[brazen wolf]

We don't talk about it

[fiery perch]

did you take the shard chest?

[shadow pasture]

if its silver ill be disappointed

[brazen wolf]

no I took Advanced Honing thing

[fiery perch]

Silver huh IMAGINE heheh O.O

[brazen wolf]

But I don't even know how to use that

[fiery perch]

Imma uh head out for a minute

[fiery perch]

its basically free taps at 4-5%

Oh no thats special honing nvm

you need adv honing

[brazen wolf]

I do?

[fiery perch]

Yea, its very important 1640+ i think

[shadow pasture]

not rn

[fiery perch]

is it 1660?

[shadow pasture]

advance honing you will worry about later

just normal hone for now

[brazen wolf]

I don't even know which to take here

[bold geyser]

you got solars, they're good

[fiery perch]

Honing

[bold geyser]

advanced, again

[fiery perch]

I had to pick silver the other day bc i had 0....

[shadow pasture]

were shards ever a bottle neck for t3 honing?

[mellow mauve]

is this an express character

[brazen wolf]

Yeah

[fiery perch]

Couldnt even hone my 1600

[brazen wolf]

I don't have access to the event yet though, It's still hidden for me

The thing in Event Quest I mean

[mellow mauve]

that's for when you're 1640

[brazen wolf]

Still a ways off then

[fiery perch]

whata re you aty?

[mellow mauve]

I would take shards

[brazen wolf]

1595.83

[fiery perch]

https://tenor.com/view/thats-so-raven-shocked-big-head-swelling-gif-4056440478627456742

[fiery perch]

eesh

[bold geyser]

doing great, keep it up 🙂

[fiery perch]

My wildsoul is at 1584 (not express)

But my express wildsoul is at 1610 lol

Only express at 1610 🥲

[brazen wolf]

Well now I can do nothing till I get more gold sadly

So it's the waiting game

[shadow pasture]

its a marathon

not a race

[fiery perch]

Nah its a drag race in nfs carbon for me

Quick and swifty

[shadow pasture]

nah you'll spread yourself out too thin

honing a bunch of alts

[brazen wolf]

Damn it's really only 4,320 gold for Solo Akkan!?

[bold geyser]

it's basically drag race

the only thing that matters in the end is your fit

[fiery perch]

Yea, and im mainly making the "alts" to help push my arcanist on the main

[mellow mauve]

still not that much better but extra 380 gold

[brazen wolf]

I mean slightly better but still, those rates are abysmal when it's costing me 912 gold per tap on the weapon

oh well. No use complaining about it

Just get it done

[shadow pasture]

you can do some lifeskilling ig

[unborn trench]

wait power pass makes me max level instantly 😭 i thought it was just an xp boost

[mellow mauve]

yeah, the income you can get at 1585 is saddies

[mellow mauve]

60 isn't max

[unborn trench]

oopsies

[mellow mauve]

express gives you pots that bring you to max

[fiery perch]

Yea it gives you lv70 with leftover for another character

[unborn trench]

for anarcit, is empress or emperor better?

[fiery perch]

Depends on the content imo

[shadow pasture]

comes down to playstyle

[fiery perch]

I main Emperor

[mellow mauve]

both are good, just playstyle preferance

[fiery perch]

I love using the emperor card lol

[unborn trench]

lemme just look at the difference youtube or something then, i thought there would be an objective better decision 😭

[shadow pasture]

you picked the one class where both specs are good

like equally good i mean

[mellow mauve]

Empress has a higher ceiling but that it purely on card rng

[unborn trench]

i like harder 😃

[mellow mauve]

barring that, both are a hands class where the better you are and the better you understand the class the more you can pump

[unborn trench]

you said playstyle preference, why? is one more aggressive or something?

[coral stone]

Anyone know where the best mining spot is?

[fiery perch]

Emperor is more spammy

[shadow pasture]

one is hyper high apm

other is high apm

[unborn trench]

uh i'm new, idk terms 😭

[coral stone]

apm = lots of buttons very quickly

[fiery perch]

me when a cop asks "hi, how are you"

[unborn trench]

ah

[fiery perch]

spammy

[mellow mauve]

empress plays more like a melee class but has better mobility while emperor is a mid range caster but has a lot of back-loaded dmg

[fiery perch]

Just make sure you know the right rotation though, or youll be in pain

[shadow pasture]

theres a learning curve tho

[unborn trench]

i see tyvm

[shadow pasture]

so time to do some homework

[fiery perch]

Took me around a week to properly get emperors rotation down 🥲

[unborn trench]

i was hoping i could learn while i leveled up, he said to use the power pass an all that and i did so now i'm stuck with high level 0 knowledge LOL

[shadow pasture]

you wont learn anything at like lvl 0

[mellow mauve]

leveling wouldn't help you

[unborn trench]

😔 📖

[unborn trench]

oh

poopen

might go empress then, seems more straight forward heres your damage?

[shadow pasture]

i wanna say emperor is more straight forward

cuz you can just spam spam spam

[unborn trench]

ah

[shadow pasture]

and not have to worry about cards

too much

[fiery perch]

run valtan>brel

theyll force you to learn

[unborn trench]

but i like gambling

[shadow pasture]

just play whatever

you can switch easily

[fiery perch]

I do too and i picked arcanist bc someone said "If you like gambling" 😭

[shadow pasture]

whatever suits your play style

[unborn trench]

i don't even know CONTROLS i have a level 12 death blade from game release LMAO

[cold tapir]

Azena buff is OP asf

[unborn trench]

i can?? why am i worrying so much then man

[cold tapir]

1 kurzan front

[shadow pasture]

[fiery perch]

I had a south vern power pass'd glavier when i came back 😭 I DIDNT EVEN HAVE EXPRESS! I also may or may not have KT'd a soul eater when i came back and didnt brush the dust off glavier til my SE hit 1490

[shadow pasture]

just get in there and play

[shadow pasture]

what is that the 100k box?

[unborn trench]

yk i feel like what you said is funny but theres atleast 6 words in there i don't know

[cold tapir]

10k / 50k and 100k

[shadow pasture]

bro turned $5 into 160k

are we deadass

[fiery perch]

Soul eater, Knowledge transfer,

[cold tapir]

i got 500k last week from all characters blessed embers too lol

[fiery perch]

SE is soul eater

[shadow pasture]

maybe i swipe for some blessed azena too

[fiery perch]

its a trap

[cold tapir]

i have it on 10 toons

[unborn trench]

ah

well looks like imma have to go look at a build guide to understand a single thing of what to press and what it does 😃

[lavish grove]

Arcanist Guide

Click here to view the full guide

Aug 1, 2025, 6:35 AM

[unborn trench]

thanks

[cold tapir]

alright time to dump the 160k gold right now honing

[wet sinew]

Ummmm bit of a weird question, but once you hit the endgame via those events meant for newbies to catchup: can you maintain beeing in „endgame“ by just purely doing your usual homework? (Weekly raids, rested chaos and guards) etc? Will you be able to do newer content releases on that char without outside help? (Future events, Whaling or mat feeding from other chars)

[unborn trench]

can someone send a new player guide aswell i don't know a single thing of anything 😭

[bold geyser]

if you're doing all your weekly raids, all your homework, and learning and doing new raids as they come out you're going to more than maintain

[shadow pasture]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh6vjB0syTc&t=3465s

[unborn trench]

thanks

[shadow pasture]

you can reach endgame without outside help 100%

[mellow mauve]

if you're playing consistenly and doing raids, you'll be able to be on or above the ilvl of a raid release

[shadow pasture]

this event is basically setting you up to reach 1700

which atm is endgame

[wet sinew]

So can i slowly build up 6 char roster by adding another char every time a new powerpass event comes woth challenge event? If all thise chars are selfsuatainable

[shadow pasture]

just dont fall into the alt trap of honing and creating alts outside of events and powerpasses

[wet sinew]

Alright thanks

[unborn trench]

btw i got the twitch drop for some box, how do i get it/know if i got it?

[shadow pasture]

did you claim it in your twitch inventory

[unborn trench]

yup

connected my accoutns n everyhting

its the evergreen bundle but i have no idea what that contains or how to see it

[shadow pasture]

uh

just go into your shop and look for the red notification

i cant remeber what the thing is called

[fiery perch]

yea, dont be a me

tbf i did need alts bc wasnt trusted

[unborn trench]

fouind it i think :D

[brazen wolf]

Alrighty, Akkan Solo isn't bad at all

[mellow mauve]

the made all the solo mode easiers which just speeds them up, it's pretty nice

[brazen wolf]

Shame they didn't make the honing easier

[mellow mauve]

real

[brazen wolf]

Getting there though

I assume +16 is 1600?

Or is +15 1600?

[shadow pasture]

you can check using the magnify glass

[brazen wolf]

Oh yeah

Oh so I'm not to far away all things considered

Granted after this I have 1600-1620 to do which I imagine will be infinitely worse than this has been

[shadow pasture]

most newbies are gold starved so

1600-1620 is a pretty big hurdle

[fiery perch]

+15=1600 16=1605 17=1610

[cloud pendant]

what am i missing? im pretty sure i finished all the pre-requisite

[fiery perch]

You do Lightning red scent?

And paving the way?

[cloud pendant]

yea done

oh wait

[fiery perch]

You talk to searcher joseph?

[cloud pendant]

cant find searcher

[fiery perch]

He should be in the middle on skurz

[cloud pendant]

what should i do here?

how do i attend the meeting?

[hot smelt]

i got t4 gear chest now. should i transfer it now or advance hone my t3 gear first?

[shadow pasture]

How much shards you got left

[hot smelt]

honor shards? like 620k

[shadow pasture]

You can temper some pieces

Since shards don’t transfer to tier 4

[velvet timber]

Hahahahahahahahaha. Let's go

[hot smelt]

aight but to unlock adv hone, i need this achivement?

what is red doom?

[shadow pasture]

G1 of echidna

You should be able to do it at 1620

[hot smelt]

this one?

[shadow pasture]

Ye

[fiery perch]

300 special honing stones.. 1 success. I take that as a win

[hot smelt]

i only have 1 gold claim left i think, should i claim it? or save for t4

[shadow pasture]

Just claim it

Unless you think you can hit 1660

🥀

[hot smelt]

no way

aight thanks

[tepid solar]

is it cheaper tryna hit 1690 with +20 AH or doing normal honing to 17 or something?

[fiery perch]

I mean, you COULD get lucky and 1tap allll the way to 1640 at least

[tawdry sigil]

is there a stat prio list for bracelets somewhere 👀

[tawdry sigil]

🫡

[hot smelt]

when it transfer isn't it auto 1640 from 1620?

[fiery perch]

No

Unless its different in t4

Tbf my highest atm is 1610 WS

[fossil jasper]

What should i transcend first on wind fury?

[shadow pasture]

Yes it does

1620 shoots up to 1640 when transferred

[shadow pasture]

You can max it all out

Just do thaemine and buy boxes

Plus buying out solo vendor

[fiery perch]

Oh yea, thaemine.. thats why i havent done the trasncend yet

[hot smelt]

yeah thought so, i will burn out my shards first then, don't wanna waste them

[shadow pasture]

That’s the plan

[fossil jasper]

ty

[fiery perch]

Just pray to SG to shit out shards for you

Itll only take 5 years

[shadow pasture]

Prio main stat like spec/crit/swift depending on class

[mellow mauve]

real

[fiery perch]

I lied, my WS is 1614.5

26 mins? ... I hate thaemine rn

[hot smelt]

I wonder why they give us a lots. I hit almost all my pieces pity and still has 620k left. I never touched a shard pouch

[shadow pasture]

You should be thankful for the free tempers basically

T4 you’re giga shard starved

And gold starved 🥀

[velvet timber]

So do battle items not matter. If they only allow 5 and pre determine them for you in guardian raids, do I even need to stock up if it is going to be provided?

[shadow pasture]

Eventually it won’t be provided

[minor igloo]

At some point, you don't get free battle items

[fiery perch]

Youre gonna realize how often youre gonna use health pots, destruction bombs, maybe whirlwinds

[velvet timber]

Im at 1415 and finally reached my resource bottleneck. So I imagine it won't matter for a long time then?

[fiery perch]

Oh it matters

When you get hit for 99.99% of your hp, youll know

[wooden nebula]

is purchasing life energy at current maris worth it?

[fiery perch]

Only blue and purple

[mellow mauve]

yes

[fiery perch]

the one for 130 isnt worth it imo

[minor igloo]

It won't matter in guardian raids until Gargadeth/Veskal, basically 1600+. But you will still need your own pots and battle items for raids

[velvet timber]

I don't know which one I just fought. But I did actually run out of items.

[minor igloo]

You can run back to spawn to refresh them

So all is free at that level

[quaint mulch]

worth?

[shadow pasture]

Do middle

[fiery perch]

do the 200

[velvet timber]

Only had around 40 seconds left.

I won with 21 seconds on the clock

[minor igloo]

200 for better average. Big box for copium big bar

[fiery perch]

speaking of una.. I forgot i have to do that lol thanks for reminding me stranger

[wooden nebula]

do you happen to know how much you net after buying the 330 BC one?

[minor igloo]

Completely depends on your life skill level and the market valuation

[quaint mulch]

what are the rates?

[mellow mauve]

to many factors to give you a hard estimate, cause level, tool, and charm rarity affects your earning potential

[minor igloo]

I can't recall. I am way past relying on una for gold so I gamba every time I do open them.

[cloud pendant]

where is the common logging area in t4?

[mellow mauve]

abidos garrison

[minor igloo]

Adidas garrison

[quaint mulch]

question for the night, i have two question, first one is, whats the point of rapport? is it a dating sim system or just similar to the rapport system in bdo?

[cloud pendant]

is logging the best lifeskill to do now?

[quaint mulch]

2nd question is, what is worth spending my ame shards on?

[wooden nebula]

what would you estimate to be the minimum requirement for it to be remotely worth doing?

[mellow mauve]

it's the fastest

[mellow mauve]

it's worth doing regardless

like my friend has a better tool than me and it gets him like an extra 1k? blue logs over me (whe we do a long log session)

[cloud pendant]

its not worth using legendary tool to leevvel up tools?

[wooden nebula]

are better charms worth grinding for?

[mellow mauve]

if it's a junk legendary it doesn't matter. I would use a junk tool till you get to level 20 which unlocks duo logging

[mellow mauve]

the life skill one is

relic

blue

[untold root]

how much do these bottom 2 lines give on raids?

[shadow pasture]

They give enough

[cloud pendant]

is this considered junk?

[mellow mauve]

it's okay, 2 good lines 1 okay 1 junk line

[fiery perch]

No kick tree attempt line

[mellow mauve]

you can use it till you need a new one

[minor igloo]

adventure tome progress. some cooking materials are locked behind rizzing up those npcs.

and some npcs have decent rewards for clearing certain tiers in their rizz progression

[fiery perch]

Fuck rapport 😭

[minor igloo]

like back then we had to rizz up thirain and nineveh for their cards

[fiery perch]

I spent HOURS!!!! doing ninevah but they give us a free LoS 30 😭

[minor igloo]

cest la vie

[fiery perch]

I DID BOTH

[minor igloo]

i cleared all the rapport before they improved the new player experience

so i get you, bro

[shadow pasture]

Some people spent years on Los 30

[fiery perch]

I basically did do new player expeirence lol I came back, started a SE with a south vern pp'd glavier and learned the game slowly... Took me around 70 hours to realize there was a ocean liner 😭

[minor igloo]

good thing those players arent the ones needing help

[fiery perch]

10k from una, not bad

forgot i needed gold for transcendence

[quaint mulch]

question, how many times does honing fail before garunteed

last question for the night

[valid helm]

depends on level of the hone

whether event or not

etc etc

a lot of factors

[quaint mulch]

16 to 17, current event

trying to calculate how much gold i need to save up[

[shadow pasture]

You can use the calculator on maxroll

[quaint mulch]

im getitng so unlucky

[ebon tree]

what is teh average combat power for a 1670 ,1110 ?

[valid helm]

just tap it once and you will know how much artisian it gives

or maxroll yeah

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator

[shadow pasture]

You can check through uwuowo

[ebon tree]

what is uwuwo?

[shadow pasture]

Lost ark api

Unofficial api site

[shadow pasture]

Uwuowo.mathi.moe

[valid helm]

just link it

[shadow pasture]

Too much work

[valid helm]

https://uwuowo.mathi.moe/

[shadow pasture]

Can you do it for me

[valid helm]

[shadow pasture]

[quaint mulch]

OKAY FINAL FINAL QUESTION FOR THE NIGHT

What is worth it?

is the meneliks tome worth it?

[valid helm]

you will have time

to finish it

if you do chaos/gr daily

[raw thorn]

whats the priority for stats on accessories? ik the dmg stats but idk how i would compare these two

[raw thorn]

thanks goat

[quaint mulch]

talking to me? whats gr? finish what? the armor or you meant the maharaka event shop?

[shadow pasture]

Guardian raid

Chaos dungeon

[quaint mulch]

ooh

[shadow pasture]

That mokoko race event

[quaint mulch]

but what is worth spending these on?

[shadow pasture]

Just whatever your bottle neck is at the moment

As yorgh said you got time to get em all

[quaint mulch]

oooh

[spiral mica]

Whats most optimal way to use scrolls on advanced honing, is it only on grace or every tap?

[fiery perch]

Anything really. You have more than enough time to get everything in the event shop

[lusty moat]

what's the destiny stone for?

[shadow pasture]

Do it on full grace

[shadow pasture]

For tapping karma

[restive shard]

how many bloodclaw's chart fragment until i can get enlightment potion?

[quaint mulch]

uh

what do i do with these?

EXPIRED

[buoyant dock]

Amazon changed how trusted status is obtained, the old way is "You need steam trusted / non limited and enabling 2fa on steam guard app", it's now an in-house system not reliant on steam. All the info they have given us on how to get it is "Play the game and you get it eventually".
Amazon Games Trusted Info

[still imp]

"eventually" wtf

[minor igloo]

[still imp]

typical amazon

[quaint mulch]

okay, very last last question, how long does it take to complete the express event in its entirety? So I can go not log in again while redeeming passive Twitch drops lmao

there's this other mmo im trying to focus on rn

[minor igloo]

the express event that gets to to 1660?

[quaint mulch]

ye

[minor igloo]

you have like 3 months to finish it

or more so to hit 1660 to claim the rewards

[paper walrus]

whats the point of completing it if youre not going to log in

[minor igloo]

people can do w/e they want

[quaint mulch]

<< what, the gear will be obsolete or something?

[minor igloo]

the express itself lasts 3months

you can complete it in less than that time

[paper walrus]

its more like

if you're looking forward to not having to play the game

why play the game

at all

[minor igloo]

so that they can come back later

other mmos have a seasonal architecture

lost ark does not

so we are stuck on the hamster wheel thinking it's weird that people want time off from the game, while more often than not, we're the weird ones

[minor igloo]

the gear won't be obsolete as it's not tied to the event. but it's more so that after 3 months, the event expires and whatever rewards that were tied to the milestone reward can no longer be claimed

[lime beacon]

i think the extra achievement chests you get at like 1670,1680,1690 and 1700 tho are permanent if it works like how other events have in the past

[minor igloo]

those are just mats no?

or were there some gems in them, i dont recall

[shadow pasture]

Those chest are pretty juiced

If I remember correctly

Basically just reach 1660 and then you just drop lost ark if ya want

[minor igloo]

still gotta hit that baseline of 1660 tho which is the milestone reward i was talking about

[lime beacon]

they got mats, karma stuff, i think one has 2 level seven gems iirc

i think its the 1670 one

but yea those chests are good

[minor igloo]

i havent opened mine, so i honestly dont rmmb what i read on the patch notes

all i know is that my friend's 1661 bard got DICKED

[shadow pasture]

I’m pretty sure the lvl 7 gems you get are at 1660

Cuz that’s what my alt got

[lime beacon]

may have been

[quaint mulch]

wow, you said everything I was gonna say haha. Yeah, I'll be screwed if I don't hurry up and get back to the other mmorpg

And a lot of the seasonal shit literally won't come back until years later or NOT AT ALL.

[lime beacon]

I think you actually can take breaks from the game but only if you already have a main thats at the ilvl for the upcoming next raid, so you can return and jump into current content fast and thats like a 3-4 month break

ive done that now twice and its worked out good for me

[shadow pasture]

I’ve taken so many breaks

[glacial field]

How safe do you thnk gem prices are? Especially with the ticket converison in August. I was thinking maybe to invest in some level 8s for my main, but its a lot of unbound gold to use.

[shadow pasture]

They are doing nuthin to gems

They tried and kr cried

Gems are pretty safe id say

[minor igloo]

if your roster is somewhat established, then definitely. but it takes more than a usual mmo season to get to that point where you can start taking breaks

[glacial field]

Yeah, because I think it's time I invested in my main more and got lvl8 damage gems but as you know unbound gold is really valuable so I was curious to get thoughts

[minor igloo]

like for WoW, you can be done with the season in a few weeks until they release more parts of the expansion

[quaint mulch]

Yeah, cause I play certain mmos based on when the seasonal content is out, like I only play BDO during Calpheon Ball, I only played FFXIV when there was a new pvp season, I'll complete the bp, then I'll go back on hiatus. Meanwhile Sky, the mmo i need to get back to, has seasonal stuff that perma goes away

[quaint mulch]

not really, this only applies to WoW PvE

[glacial field]

4 level 8 gems will be about 960k unbound gold, that's a lot

[quaint mulch]

I was a PvP main in WoW haha. I took months long breaks often and still kept up

[lime beacon]

like i basically didnt play at all forn the year 2024 but when i took my break my main character was already 1620, so when ignite came out i got another t4 character right away, while my main was already t4 ready, i then played for a few months did HM brel 3rd week it was out did it for a few weeks until i maxed out enlightenment and leap karma to lvl 6, then i took my next break until like three weeks ago i came back

[glacial field]

You just reminded me I forgot to keep logging in BDO for the dailies

[shadow pasture]

I got banned for a month before t4 🥀

[minor igloo]

im only counting pve as that is the only content i care about in any mmo

[shadow pasture]

And then quit for like 3-4 months

[quaint mulch]

PvP is my main thing in all MMORPGS ngl.

except BDO

cause i dont have time for that

[wet sinew]

i made 2 new accounts, played abit, like 1 guardian, 1 chaos for maybe 2 days, did the power pass, did valtan, did brel solo raid, and on the second or third day i got trusted

[minor igloo]

ignite was definitely a very huge boost though. i dont think anyone can comfortably return without an event of some sort

[glacial field]

BDO was my main game for many years, but after they started killing uncapped PVP I lost interest and now they are forcing enhancing to be all char bound, in cluding FG armors that need to be tet to convert for Edana

[quaint mulch]

it takes all that ot get trusted?

[wet sinew]

wasnt much playtime tho, like maybe 2-3 hours

and the arkesian tour i did too

[quaint mulch]

I was already trusted when i came back after not touching the game since it first released

and i never even finished the tut.

[lime beacon]

well so my main though was already ready cause i stopped playing like 2 weeks after the intiial thaemine release in 2024, and i totally missed echidna and bemos releases, but my character was already 1620 when i took my break. Ignite just gave me another t4 character for gold income lol

[wet sinew]

you dont need trusted status, its only relevant to get the daily login rewards, which is crap anyways

for the first couple of days at least, and since afer these couple of days you get trusted anyways

[quaint mulch]

ngl, its not as bad as the PSO2 NGS trusted status requirements

Years later im still not trusted status in pso2 ngs T.T

[wet sinew]

at least lost ark does not have whale status, like platinum, gold, diamond spender like in dfo

[minor igloo]

i think the main takeaway is that your main has to be at cutting edge content at some point in time before the break

[lime beacon]

i only came back early cause i was planning on playing when female paladin came out but realized i should probably play for a few weeks to build up my gold reserves for her

[minor igloo]

i think if you left halfway and came back another half, it'll be rough for you again

[quaint mulch]

I mean, what makes it rough? just gearing?

[minor igloo]

it takes a while to acrue enough resources to not be deemed a rat

rat being undergeared/underinvested character

and not all events are made equal

[quaint mulch]

but the thing is, do you have to be well geared

most mmorpgs, you can do most content with basic gear

even in BDO

[minor igloo]

the raids are free, the community, who are doing the raids, are not

[lime beacon]

oh also when i took my last break during brel HM i had already had 7 level eight gems which def has helped me get into mordum lobbies and stuff despite me missing the initial wave on release cant be deemed a rat when i got almost all eights lmao

[quaint mulch]

i meant, "Solo" exist haha, i rarely que up in any mmorpgs anymore unless im forced to cough ffxiv

[lime beacon]

there is no solo brel or mordum yet atleast

[minor igloo]

ye, if your whole gameplay will revolve around solo modes, then you can do whatever you want tbh

[quaint mulch]

I mean, is there nothing to gain outside of just "better gear", it's not like fashion is the endgame, and fashion is my main thing in mmos

Personally, the rat race just to get "better gear" is boring

[minor igloo]

there are some elements of fashion

[lime beacon]

You can flex on your raid group by having the rare mount

now

[minor igloo]

but most players are just there to do big numbers

[quaint mulch]

when i can just take breaks, come back, and still enjoy the game

yeah, idk care about big numbers lel

unless its pvp

[minor igloo]

the majority are the rats racing

and we get salty for it when someone is rattier than us

[lime beacon]

I have made it a game now that i race people in raids to the spot on our mounts i even live commentated one of my races like it was a horse race

[quaint mulch]

and i was told pvp in LA was dead, so f

[quaint mulch]

oh, lost ark has ahead of the curve mounts now?

[lime beacon]

yes mordum drops wing mounts

[quaint mulch]

sweet

what does it look like?
