[unreal jungle]

yeah, nevermind still can't understand nothing, pretty sure i'll quitt it, anyway thanks for your time 😗

[balmy plank]

Just start at step 1

[shadow pasture]

I mean you gotta at least attempt to try to learn the game

It’s looks complicated but it isn’t rocket science

[manic quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/read-gif-25879491

[molten grove]

Game is pretty ez to understand for the most part way easier than POE

[vast oriole]

@rose jewel 20hrs maint https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/news/articles/region-merge-update

[rose jewel]

Only?

That's cap

[vast oriole]

Well its planned

Will see

8hrs for euc.for no reason is funny as well

[rose jewel]

Maybe they will also delete banned accs now that they're doing it

Might as well, some free space

Busy day for them

I got games to play anyway

Stella sora just came out, then we'll have CZN

[balmy plank]

EU will be up in 5 hours & NA will be up in 72 hours

[rose jewel]

Good

More time to play other stuff

Will be weird calling it NA only now

I'll probably rush all the raids I can today, haven't played at all this week

[balmy plank]

I did 1 raid this week

[livid fossil]

I did 1 and half

[uncut valve]

@west valley

[errant pike]

wait so merge happening this reset?

[balmy plank]

Yes

[tender flicker]

si

[balmy plank]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/news/articles/region-merge-update

[faint cedar]

Thank god I’m in office tm anyway

[uncut valve]

thanks

[errant pike]

20hrs..lol

[rose jewel]

It won't be 20, it's probably 30+

Finally a free day

[errant pike]

oh ok, I was thinking about do I need to stay up till 2 o lock in the morning for my daily

[uncut valve]

What does this mean? "The game worlds will remain in their original server location".

[vast oriole]

naw servers will stay naw

so still same ping

[uncut valve]

[vast oriole]

even if they will be in nae region

[uncut valve]

How does it work inside dungeons though

[vast oriole]

at least thats what i understood

they say about it down

[uncut valve]

oh, i havent read

[livid fossil]

[uncut valve]

Doesnt seem too bad, NAE has no reason to gatekeep NAW.
NAW may gatekeep NAE players to get better ping

[vast oriole]

well it smsotly sea and oce

naw to nae you gain like 40ms

its not a big deal in a pve game like this

[uncut valve]

I'm from sea

time to be the gatekeeper of NAE

[vast oriole]

oh

xD

yeah

[balmy plank]

gl

[vast oriole]

i mean nae will also gatekeep naw

all good

[uncut valve]

[deep bay]

I joined NAW because all my friends play on that region even though my ping is better on NAE

It all worked out in the end, I guess.

[vast oriole]

well i play euc from nae sooo

[deep bay]

[vast oriole]

its like 120ms, as long as its stable, its whatever

[obsidian valve]

rip

[manic quarry]

Just live closer to the server provider

https://tenor.com/view/cat-nod-cat-nod-cat-nodding-cute-cat-gif-23793862

So that if your latency is abnormally high, you can knock on their door

[livid fossil]

[limpid geode]

Got any tips for when queues pop when you're tabbed out of the game?

is there a way to make the icon flash or hear only the system sound effect when you're tabbed out?

[vast oriole]

dont think so

[vestal hound]

wheres gem npc in elnead?

[vast oriole]

Open map

Write gem

You will find it

[vestal hound]

ye i see, thanks

[vast oriole]

Thats stone not gem

[paper walrus]

but they just asked about refacetting

[vestal hound]

whats this

[vast oriole]

You can refacet gems xD

[paper walrus]

im dying

[astral temple]

basically just a preset for you to try out both engravings for the class easily

[vestal hound]

its temporary?

[vast oriole]

Ok so

[paper walrus]

each class has two builds to pick from, this is you choosing a setup that already has the builds setup (its bad)

[vast oriole]

Nop its not

[paper walrus]

follow the guide

[astral temple]

yea it lasts like a month?

Oct 21, 2025, 6:31 PM

[vast oriole]

Read this

To see which one u prefer

[vestal hound]

well from what i realised most of the things are the same between the google docs build and the preset

[paper walrus]

they very much arent

[vast oriole]

Theres some differences

[astral temple]

it depends on the class

[vast oriole]

At least when i checked artist and bard ones

[astral temple]

some are pretty bad, and some are ok to use

[tender flicker]

in game recommended vs community optimized

[vestal hound]

well soul eater nights edge seems pretty similar

i've changed some skill nodes

but thats all

[astral temple]

yea

[vestal hound]

I also do not know how to change ultimate skilsl

[astral temple]

its locked behind a questline

[astral temple]

oh

that

[vast oriole]

Drag and drop

[astral temple]

you just drag it

[vast oriole]

On skillbar

Same for the awakening technique

T skill

[vestal hound]

and how do i stop being a ship

im sailing

[polar fossil]

get to a port and press z

right click the cards

[astral temple]

[vestal hound]

where do i fuse the gems?

[vestal hound]

yeah I've read it but it doesn't really say how to do the very easy things

[astral temple]

its in inventory

at the bottom

the gem icon

lemma find something

i think maxorll hadsomething for that

[vestal hound]

ye i got it

what about the artifact eq that i dropped a ton of

which is worse than mine

[astral temple]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/beginners-and-returners-guide#inventory-management-header

skip downt o inventory management

[vestal hound]

okay i just realised theres auto sail

i manually sailed to a port on the opposite side of the map

[astral temple]

oh gosh

oh btw

you can also take ocean liner

to basically quick travel to another continent

[vestal hound]

whats that

[astral temple]

itll be on the map while youre in the continent in the bottom

basically skips the whole sailing thing

its like triports but between continents

[vestal hound]

should i throw away that equipment? its worse than mine

[astral temple]

yea

youll see hwo to auto dismantle in the maxroll guide

[vestal hound]

what should i choose from these?

[paper walrus]

nothing

dont open seelct boxes until you know what you need

[vestal hound]

makes sense

[queen canopy]

Is this worth buying for 50K? Using 2nd picture

[vestal hound]

and i got this

is there a stash in this game?

[astral temple]

yea theres an npc for it in every town

i forgotwhat they were called

storage keep i think?

[vestal hound]

yep

someone knows why i cant redeem arkesia tour rewards?

[paper walrus]

go to a city

[vestal hound]

i am in a city

[paper walrus]

where are you

[astral temple]

it needs to be like

[vestal hound]

lake shiverwave

[paper walrus]

thats not a city

[astral temple]

yea go to vern castle

[paper walrus]

go to elnead

[astral temple]

or elnead

[vestal hound]

how its not a city

[paper walrus]

it just isnt

[vestal hound]

theres only npcs here

[astral temple]

or the rohendel city

cities are marked by them having a major landmark point you can save and fastravel to

i forgot what its called

[rose wren]

something like return point

[astral temple]

but uh the major city if your continent is rothum

[vestal hound]

this game seems more complex than i initially thought

need some time to learn all that stuff

[vast oriole]

yeah theres quite a learning curve

[astral temple]

yea they kinda throw you in the deep end

[rose wren]

every mmorpg r like that, just learn it all somehow

[astral temple]

so many systems

[vast oriole]

but its not that bad

[astral temple]

but once you get it you dont have to worry about it again

🙂‍↕️

[vast oriole]

i still think poe is way harder xd

[vestal hound]

yeah but not every rpg drops you into endgame with most of the systems unlocked instantly

[faint cedar]

At least it’s not as bad as Diablo 4 where you needed literal data mining to get correct information

[vestal hound]

i got like 1k hours in poe i dont think so

[faint cedar]

[vestal hound]

poe seems very linear

[vast oriole]

lost ark is easier still

[vestal hound]

when compared to this

[vast oriole]

way easier

[faint cedar]

Loa is easy once you know what you’re looking for, for your class

[vast oriole]

you will learm everythinbg in no time

[faint cedar]

A lot of the older power systems have very straightforward stopping points

[vast oriole]

especially that most things got simplified

[faint cedar]

It’s late game min max that gets a bit more involved mathematically

[vestal hound]

how do i get these? powerpass didnt give me that

[astral temple]

theres a quest you have to do

after completing north kurzan i think?

[faint cedar]

Bottom left in elnead

[astral temple]

or was it before north kurzan

[faint cedar]

By the general merchant there’s a purple quest

[astral temple]

but yeah bottom left in elnead there will be a quest if you have it

[vestal hound]

whats north kurzan

is it after south kurzan

[astral temple]

a continent

and yea

[faint cedar]

It’s after completing south kurzan msq

[vestal hound]

oh so i am not in the end game

[lean void]

You can do it right after receiving a powerpass I believe

[astral temple]

oh ok its after south kurzan then

check bottom left of elnead in south kurzan

[vast oriole]

south kurzan

[astral temple]

therell be a purple quest there

[faint cedar]

Yeah I just had to knowledge transfer one of my rats to get his t skills

[vast oriole]

but its not like that anymore

[lean void]

Just check all purple quests in elnead

[vast oriole]

you can do that quest at 1540ilvl now

[lean void]

It should be there

[faint cedar]

Where’s the 1540 one at?

[vast oriole]

quest is bottom left, purple questionmark

you cant miss it

[vast oriole]

in any major city

[faint cedar]

I’ll have to look again

[vast oriole]

its in punika, voldis, north vern

etc etc

[livid fossil]

Or can you miss it

[lean void]

Lvl 55, ilvl 1540+, any major city next to a city centre pillar

[faint cedar]

Nah my stupid ass glaive needs that t skill

[lean void]

Or whatever that thing is called

[astral temple]

except for elnead for some reason

[vast oriole]

if someone can link the elnead map i can point where it is

XD

[livid fossil]

My roster is 4 spots lighter now. Got rid of classes I wasn’t playing

[lean void]

In elnead its somewhere on the left I think

[vast oriole]

its bottom left

[vast oriole]

no

[vestal hound]

whats that

[vast oriole]

ignore for now

[livid fossil]

Place holder

[vast oriole]

EASY

[vestal hound]

future story?

[vast oriole]

no

you continue this with north kurzan

[vestal hound]

oh okay

[vast oriole]

north kurzan is ilvl 1600

so ignore

are you in elnead right now?

can you screenshot the map

[astral temple]

i think xela is in rothum

mightve moved though

[vast oriole]

should be in south kurzan if he powerpassed

[astral temple]

took a sailing trip to lake shiverwave

[vast oriole]

https://lostarkcodex.com/us/npc/81954/ anyway npc is here

no one told him about the tp between regions

oh god

@vestal hound

[vestal hound]

yeah i manually sailed with a boat

from one continent to another

[vast oriole]

yeah

so when you open map

the first button down

lets you tp everywhere

[astral temple]

(as in didnt even use the autosail feature btw)

[vast oriole]

on any continent

[astral temple]

but yeah ^ its called ocean liner

[cloud merlin]

guys any1 knows like will keys from paradise be deleted b4 next season?

[vast oriole]

it will get deleted at the end of the season yes

its written on them im pretty sure

[cloud merlin]

ty

[vestal hound]

is there a way to teleport on those small islands?

or i need to swim onto the lopang island

[vast oriole]

you tp to vern

than sail till lopang

you dont need to do lopang tho

focus on paradise

and raids

ah no its in arkesia tour

[vestal hound]

I thought I need to do arkesia

[vast oriole]

i would still do raids before arkesia tour personally

XD

because you still need to learn the raid

and theres not a lot of time

[astral temple]

Nah arna is talking about something else that you dont need to worry about, just do it for tour

[vast oriole]

depending when you go to sleep

[faint cedar]

Has anyone tried to do a hell key with the starting gear from paradise

Heheh

[vast oriole]

yeah

it was pain

[faint cedar]

Did it work

[vast oriole]

XD

[faint cedar]

Damn

[vast oriole]

yeah

[astral temple]

Why tho

[vast oriole]

was just longer

[astral temple]

Lmfao

[faint cedar]

Alright I’ll do a little

[vestal hound]

in less than 2 hours I believe

[vast oriole]

ehhh

[faint cedar]

Bc I fucking hate my glaive but I still wanna stack mats from paradise rewards

[vast oriole]

you need to do paradise once to get keys no

well crucible

[faint cedar]

Yeah but you just gotta dmg the boss

[vast oriole]

true

[vestal hound]

what should i do?

[balmy plank]

In general?

Do your 3 weekly unas (Alt+J)
You already did your chaos dungeon. Do your guardian too
Do Paradise
DO the 3 highest ilvl raids available to you

[faint cedar]

Assuming since I see 5 on legion that it would be akkan, Kaya, and ivory

[vestal hound]

that one you mean?

[faint cedar]

Wait maybe not ivory

What ilvl

[indigo marten]

ivory is 1600 so likely kayangel solo dungeon , akkan solo, then brel solo

[indigo marten]

ye solo that

[balmy plank]

What ilvl are you?

[vestal hound]

1585

[faint cedar]

Yeah so akkan, kayangel, brel

[vestal hound]

which guardian should i do?

[balmy plank]

In that case your 3 highest ilvl raids will be Akkan, Kayangel & Brelshaza. There is a solo mode for all 3

You get gold from 3 raids. Thats why you do the highest ones. If you want you can do lower level ones too for mats but no gold

[vestal hound]

this is the one i should play?

[balmy plank]

Yes

[faint cedar]

Correct

[vast oriole]

i wouldnt lose my time on sonavel ngl

[queen canopy]

You can use matching for Sonavel, you'll find a party fairly fast

[vast oriole]

uh

i dont think so

people dont really do sonavel

[queen canopy]

Been doing it daily for the last 3 days

[vast oriole]

what is fairly fast

[queen canopy]

had a party within 5 minutes each time on an alt

[vestal hound]

yeah i found a party

instantly

[vast oriole]

oh i guess theres new players

for some reasons

still, akkan would give more gold XD

[vestal hound]

normal/hard makes difference?

which one should I play

[vast oriole]

solo

[balmy plank]

Normal & Hard are group play. Youll NEED 7 other people. You should do solo mode

[vast oriole]

theres no normal or hard in solo

[vestal hound]

oh lol

and whats exactly gold for?

[vast oriole]

everything

honing

every systems

buying things in market

[vestal hound]

okay so i died on the kayangel

[dim pulsar]

u gotta learn it, watch some Solo Guides

[obsidian valve]

mhm it's got some insta-wipe mechs

[manic quarry]

I'll take a guess it's gate 2

[rose jewel]

Gate 1, not insta but people die anyway

Such is the fate of the newbie

[vestal hound]

yeah i have no idea whats going on

3 elements pop up

then i get nuked

[rose jewel]

Pokemon

[lime kiln]

How long until Paradise leave the game?

[rose jewel]

If you just want the answer watch a guide, deathboi on yt or maxroll

Paradise is perma with seasons

[lime kiln]

If I store my keys and a new season starts will my keys disappear?

[rose jewel]

By common sense they should poof, but idk

Really doubt it

[livid fossil]

Why you storing keys in the first place

[lime kiln]

I play lots of games I barely got the time to play 6 characters

[rose jewel]

Lazy, 20 alts, both, no idea

See

Who told you or forced you to play 6 chara

[lime kiln]

faster gold

[livid fossil]

[rose jewel]

Yet you don't have time

Amazing

[manic quarry]

What was she specifically doing

Because she has three major mechs

[rose wren]

"faster gold"

[manic quarry]

And a unique mech that wipes

[rose jewel]

Colors, first one

And it's 2 in solo

They got rid of 40x

[manic quarry]

Oh

[lime kiln]

I know I just do the basics on my lvl 1490 characters. work is not giving me a chance

[manic quarry]

[rose jewel]

Then why 6 chars

Nvm I just won't ask anymore

[vestal hound]

standing in the middle, shooting at 3 elements then nuke

and im dead

[manic quarry]

Start from 6 o clock, pick up the orbs coming out in counter clockwise motion

For six times

[rose jewel]

I told him to watch a guide

And it's 4

Again, guide

[manic quarry]

They watered down so much wth

[obsidian valve]

yep, solo ftw

[rose jewel]

And yet people fail

[vestal hound]

yeah i started watching it

[manic quarry]

[vestal hound]

and im stunned

[obsidian valve]

which part

[vestal hound]

why is this boss so complicated wth

[rose jewel]

It's hella easy

It was harder

[vast oriole]

Think pokemon

[rose jewel]

Wait for thaemine bro then come and complain

[fringe bluff]

Is there an Ark grid info sheet anywhere

[manic quarry]

The element she faces in one of those three directions after you pick up the orbs is what you respond to.

all you need to know is

If R, respond with B
If B, respond with G
If G, respond with R

[vast oriole]

Yeah let me find it

[balmy plank]

Its linked in #guides-and-info

[rose jewel]

Braden

Ye there

[vast oriole]

O

L

K

Yes i was lazy

[balmy plank]

[obsidian valve]

🙌

[rose jewel]

Washed up mod

[balmy plank]

here is both

[manic quarry]

The original is way way complex than what you are dealing with now

[vast oriole]

Im in metro

Im lazy

[rose jewel]

Washed
Up
Mod

[vast oriole]

[manic quarry]

Washed Ashore Mod

Some thing for the final mech, you respond to the ring color on the ground

[rose jewel]

Guide

[obsidian valve]

unless they removed that too

[rose jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-jjk-nicevagg-anime-gif-22368283

[manic quarry]

I hate doing kaya so much im glad im way past that

[rose jewel]

It's free

[obsidian valve]

i don't think i ever got the um

black wings

unless i forgot along time ago

[manic quarry]

The forbidden wings? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh unless you want to do HM trains and get nothing

[obsidian valve]

yeah, i think i stopped at red wings

[manic quarry]

Only wings I'd prefer is the Mordum ones. Farmable

Just don't pepege in HM

[lucid axle]

what does cc mean by in meter?

[vestal hound]

okay i killed her

gate 3 left

[manic quarry]

You'll have it much easier in gate 3

Gate 2 is just annoying

[obsidian valve]

g2 in most raids i've seen so far is always more gimmicky and annoying

[vestal hound]

idk he oneshotted me

with a shield

or something like that

straight full to 0 hp

[manic quarry]

Hah

[obsidian valve]

oh the mirror

lawl

[manic quarry]

Mirror

[vestal hound]

does he reflect my skills

or what

[manic quarry]

You could find out about that yourself

I trust in you

[vestal hound]

oh no

i just walked into it

[lucid axle]

would cc mean like being stunned or frozen in brel?

[vestal hound]

and died

[manic quarry]

The mirror is the only pattern he does that you must always respect

[urban ingot]

can you able to send gems through mail after the merge ?

[vast oriole]

Only same server

Its not a server merge

[manic quarry]

I'll only give you two tips with the mirror.

1. you can never walk through it as long as you are his target
2. he sucks you in with it

[vestal hound]

that was a lie

i just got nuked

by light

[manic quarry]

Obey

The light

[inner crow]

we can send gold cross server though cant we? thought I remember seeing that. it just costs trust

[manic quarry]

Or was it Order will be restored

Either way

[vast oriole]

Yes only gold, not anything else

[vestal hound]

and now hes taking 0 dmg

hes really not simpler than gate 2

[manic quarry]

Pay attention to the environment

[vast oriole]

You need to take the hit the light

On the outer side

To get a buff

[vestal hound]

i destroyed all the stones

[vast oriole]

You need to wait till they have a light

And destroy

And stay next to it

It will make a yellow aoe around it

[lucid axle]

idk whats the difference

[rose jewel]

Time to

Yes they did

Matt guide

[vestal hound]

is there really no way to heal in bosses

potions do not work

[rose jewel]

Yes they do

There are 2 kinds of potions

Health are useless for raids, HP are the ones you use

[dim pulsar]

cc CANT move or shit, knockdown = ur fine but at floor

[urban ingot]

bro just go watch youtube quick guide

[vast oriole]

Youre supposed to dodge and not use potions all the time

Btw

Theres a limit per gate to use

[lavish mortar]

CC is stuff like freeze at 145x brel g2

[vestal hound]

bro i used no potion

in this dungeon

[lavish mortar]

Are you trying to use the battle item instant heal potions or the open world heal over time ones

[vestal hound]

i have no idea

how do i even get the dungeon potions

and he has insane durability now

since beginning of the fight

the rocks arent even on the arena

[vast oriole]

you need to repair your gear if you died too much btw

[vestal hound]

i cant do that in dungeon can i

[eager raptor]

hi, is there a progression guide starting from the powerpass I can follow? I'm not really sure how the whole system works but I'm trying to do that rise of the valkyrie event before it ends

i did look at the pinned, I just dont fully understand

[faint cedar]

?guide

Sad

[eager raptor]

[vast oriole]

if you have crystalline aura you can with alt +p
if not, you click STOP BUTTON, you dont alt f4 or whatever and go repair in town

[dim pulsar]

ur Faith gear form Power Pass is AKKAN gear u hone to +19

[eager raptor]

ty

[lavish mortar]

You won't be doing that event before it ends unless you swipe a lot I think
Or if it lasts until December (idr when it ends)

[static lance]

Good rule of thumb or guide to opeinging my legendary card packs. I kknow i wanna awaken my books that have bonus to demons, but idk just looking for a little guidance

[lavish mortar]

?cards

[buoyant dock]

Recommended Card Pack for each Card Set _

[lavish mortar]

Just fiure out which sets you want and go from there

[eager raptor]

it lasts until nov 19, so that isnt enough time to go from 1585 to 1640?

[livid fossil]

Just get lucky

[lavish mortar]

If youre lucky with hell maybe, but I wouldn't count on it

Plus the stuff in the rise event requires getting up to like 1700 to fully finish anyway

[eager raptor]

ah okay

[static lance]

what are they refering to when they say relentless etc?

[livid fossil]

Hell and azena raids maybe you can get-640

Name card packs

[lavish mortar]

The names of the card packs you can pick from a legendary card pack

[eager raptor]

thanks, Im also assuming that nov 19 date is when the new event starts? like to level up quicker?

will the char I created now be eligible for that event/powerpass? or will it only be for new character?

[lavish mortar]

Yes
And yes if you dont hone too much

[eager raptor]

And do you know where I should stop honing?

I apologize for the amount of questions lol

[lavish mortar]

Anything below 1640 should be safe
Might lose a little rewards from express though if you hone at all

[vestal hound]

sure thing, which npc tho theres a lot of them

[eager raptor]

oki, ill just not hone then and enjoy what i can

[rose wren]

anvil icon

[eager raptor]

make some gold on the side too from logging if that beginners guide is still good

[lavish mortar]

We'll get another powerpass with the express presumably, so taking this time to figure out what class you'd be interested in maining is a good idea

[static lance]

does this mean its for support side? or is this fire defense etc?

[dark sable]

u mean like if im 1620 i wont get the rewardd for 1600 and 1610? or just loose value for the honing% not being boosted?

[lavish mortar]

Support = support card sets (increase parties fire dmg)

[lavish mortar]

Yes and yes based on our most recent express

[static lance]

so for support classes not dps though right?

[dark sable]

fk my char i wanna boost is 1615

[lavish mortar]

But again, we will likely get another powerpass so you'll have a fresh char available that can get all rewards

[lavish mortar]

Yep

[rose wren]

ex: lost 20k gold because you're above the requirement by like 20ilvls but the gold lost is probably what u spent on honing to reach ilvl

[dark sable]

yh ig its fine

[lavish mortar]

Tbh id just keep pushing your current main, and then could express something new

[dark sable]

if my char is 1615 will i still get free trans lvl 15 from rewards or should i be 1609 to get it from 1610 rwrd?

[lavish mortar]

It'll be your "main" for a little bit as a result, but it'll get over taken eventually

[pine stag]

So I just got back to the game after launch, my roster storage is empty but I thought I left stuff in there like skin selection chests. The only thing I still have in personal storage on one character seems to be some accessories (rings/necklaces/earrings)

[lavish mortar]

?merge

[dark sable]

didnt farm too much thaemine cuz was like its ok i will get free trans by then but if i dont get it ill start to farm these and spend them

[lavish mortar]

Oh did you finally get rid of merge command with the recent overhaul? Rip

[outer mason]

on the last express, the only rewards that were locked behing item level were the 20k gold bars
the rest was not restricted

[dark sable]

ok idc at all so LESSGOOOO

ty dude

[pine stag]

I assume there was a server merge or something that cause this?

[dark sable]

hate to farm thaemine he is too much boring in solo and no lobbies at all

[lavish mortar]

Check universal storages on each character

[pine stag]

Okay thanks

[static lance]

so is there no bonus damage towards ancnietns? im not seeing any in the books

[lavish mortar]

Not from books, only from pet ranch

[static lance]

Is that worth it over the other options ( additional damage )

[lavish mortar]

Theyre all active at once, so you try get them all eventually

[dark sable]

would sell my parents for add dmg% on pet ranch

[vast oriole]

thats not very nice

[static lance]

Oh shoot you dont gotta have em summoned to get the reward? why doesnt this one work like that then?

[lavish mortar]

Nope they're just all active
That one works as it should afaik

[static lance]

afaik? sorry im a boomer

[lavish mortar]

As far as I know

[outer mason]

you should have a list of all active effects
you can access that in the pet ranch, bottom-left button I think

[pine stag]

Is the currency inventory account/server-wide or per character?

[balmy plank]

Depends on the currency

[lavish mortar]

Server wide mostly, besides a handful of character bound things like certain bound gold

[balmy plank]

Royal crystals are region wide. Regular gold & silver is roster wide BUT there is character bound gold too

[pine stag]

Okay thanks

Are engraving recipes useless now? I have a bunch of unopened recipe selection pouches for example

[dim pulsar]

epic is useless, legendary u use them for ur books if not legendary yet

[pine stag]

Ah okay yeah they're all epic pouches, selection pouches, selection chests, etc.

[lavish mortar]

Can dismantle the books for a pittance of silver

[dim pulsar]

dismantle all epic books, they useless

[pine stag]

Alright thanks

[lucid axle]

how does one change stronghold music listening to the deafult is making slowly lose my mind now

[candid lake]

get a juke box

(it's from some quest that you're supposed to do in the stronghold)

then go to it and change the music or some shjit like that

[rose jewel]

that would mean playing the game, nah

[candid lake]

do it

https://tenor.com/view/slap-jjk-nicevagg-anime-gif-22368283

[rose jewel]

no

[lucid axle]

ah in the manor

tyty

[livid fossil]

Smack him again

Until he says yes

[rose jewel]

how bout i smack you

[livid fossil]

[lavish mortar]

do it

[lapis barn]

Are there any RP communities in lost ark?

[mortal garden]

Are these only used in rohendel or elsewhere?

I mean the ether essence and sweet honey beer (used to find hidden mokokos)

[lavish mortar]

Just rohendel, other continents have their own refillable chef thingies for their own hidden mocoko

[mortal garden]

so since i have collected all the mokokos, can i delete both of these?

[livid fossil]

Yes

[mortal garden]

btw

what do i choose from this chests? the given items are not usable for me yet since im still T2

I just wanna use them before they expire

[lavish mortar]

Depends what's in the chests

[vast oriole]

dont touch anything if youre in t2

just put them somewhere in your storage

[mortal garden]

but they will eventually disappear

[vast oriole]

its t3-t4 things

yes

[mortal garden]

since they are limited

[lavish mortar]

They expire next week is the issue arna

[vast oriole]

arent the scrolls inside also expiring

even if you open

[mortal garden]

no clue, haven't tried

[vast oriole]

thats what it did with previous chests

[mortal garden]

actually yes

they expire

so no point in either saving or using anyways

[vast oriole]

you dont have a powerpass btw ?

[mortal garden]

i do but meh

i like going on my pace

[vast oriole]

okok

as you want

you might get stuck for a bit

in t3 till 1415

[lavish mortar]

Just use the powerpass before it expires is all id suggest

[vast oriole]

yeah same

[mortal garden]

i dont really like skipping stuff

just playing for the story tbh

[lavish mortar]

Oh if you just want story not raids then fuck the PP

[mortal garden]

i couldn't really care abt the powerpass even if i wanted to

i can maybe do raids in other alt account when i get endgame with this one

[lavish mortar]

Gw2 is another good mmo for story too imo (I used to play it tons)

[mortal garden]

im actually bored of mmorpgs as of now

lost ark may be the last mmo i play for a long time

[mortal garden]

btw, are these even sellable?

[rose wren]

barely any decent mmorpg about

bound

[vast oriole]

nop

[mortal garden]

boring

[vast oriole]

for story mmo, i would say ff xD

not really lost ark

till a certain point

[mortal garden]

i played all ff's on release

[vast oriole]

loa story isnt that great but it goes better

at some point

[mortal garden]

when i mean i got bored of mmo's its because i really played A LOT of mmo's

i played every single ff game

[livid fossil]

I just re downloaded gw2 and I think buying the expansion

[mortal garden]

gw2 is so old

do they still release expansions ?

[livid fossil]

Yes they just add new one

[mortal garden]

its actually a very good mmo, even tho i played like 70 hours max

[vast oriole]

its more alive than loa

im pretty sure

[mortal garden]

i just have A LOT of games, and very low time

i have atleast 2000 games in backtrack to play

that i haven't touched

Loa is very time consuming

[lavish mortar]

1 a year right now i think

[mortal garden]

that's why i will prob quit after im done with story

[manic quarry]

https://tenor.com/view/ronaldo-camera-camera-ronaldo-ronaldo-with-camera-gif-9810819212690388964

[vast oriole]

the msot time consuming part of loa is story

not the raids

tbh

[rose wren]

no1 knows when story end in loa

[manic quarry]

No arna. Let them keep talking

[livid fossil]

So story goes so far until you need to start to do more than just story

[vast oriole]

well not now for sure XD

[lavish mortar]

Worst part is finding a weekend static for raids

💀

[mortal garden]

yeah i actually find story pretty enjoyable
whatsoever, the multiple character creation and alts whatever is just too confusing and time wasting for me now

[vast oriole]

i just pug everything on saturday

i do 14 raids in 10hrs or so

[lavish mortar]

You only ever need 1 character

[vast oriole]

you dont need multiple chars

[pale wasp]

which one is better for mayhem zerker

[livid fossil]

Ez button support

[manic quarry]

And there we go

[livid fossil]

[lavish mortar]

Left

[manic quarry]

Left side

[vast oriole]

none

[mortal garden]

normally everyone i see has ton's of alts

but i could be wrong

[vast oriole]

because they want to play more

[lavish mortar]

Yeah but for kazeros prog... id like a group 🙁

[vast oriole]

you dont need alts

ill prog in pugs like i did with mordum

[lavish mortar]

Ill prob be doing the same

[livid fossil]

YOU DONT NEED alts

[lavish mortar]

[manic quarry]

Damn I don't need to ask lich to say it for me

[rose jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-jjk-nicevagg-anime-gif-22368283

wait whats the topic i just got here

[manic quarry]

Your typical mmo is so time wasting I gotta make alts

I have 2000 other games i gotta try

[rose wren]

aspect of mmorpgs

[manic quarry]

My time is so valuable

[mortal garden]

lol

[rose jewel]

uh huh

[livid fossil]

lol

[manic quarry]

don't lol, you said that yourself

[rose jewel]

its almost as if like someone has a gun on his head and he has to make alts otherwise someone will shoot a puppy somewhere in the world?

[livid fossil]

I never said it

[mortal garden]

im saying lol because the way you explain it is very childish.

[manic quarry]

Nobody even told him to make alts

[rose jewel]

so he's new and just looking at people playing for almost 4y with a well developed roster?

aka streamers which have 24hrs to play the game

[mortal garden]

exactly, that's why i got the information wrong

[manic quarry]

How far into brel2 learning

[rose jewel]

just play 1 char

you'll be fine

[mortal garden]

and that''s exactly why i understood the given point

[rose jewel]

enjoy the game, watch the story and play whenever you want only

[mortal garden]

no need to make fun of it lol

[rose jewel]

you can have thousands of fun doing solo with a couple hours a week

game wont go anywhere

[manic quarry]

Sig the game is RUNNING away from me

It grew a pair of legs

[rose jewel]

if you, whenever have time, want to tackle raids for real, nexus and maxroll and a couple youtubers will always have guides

oh shit

catch that mf

i didnt whale on it for nothing

[livid fossil]

Got jailed in g2 cause card crashed and when they re did it I took to long to get on so I have do my learning again in 5 days. My thing is I was not looking at puddle g2 and just hitting and I was dying.

[manic quarry]

The brand puddle? Sucks

[rose jewel]

was it AMD

well, is it

[manic quarry]

Ye he has amd

[livid fossil]

Amd

[rose jewel]

yeah i got crashing issues too

[manic quarry]

Sucks to be amd now

[rose jewel]

gotta ask for warranty

[obsidian valve]

rip

[rose jewel]

its a very very specific issue

[manic quarry]

Anyway never hug brel when you got branded with puddle

[rose jewel]

but i dont think itll ever solve itself nor there is a way for it to be solved

[livid fossil]

They just want us to look at patterns

[obsidian valve]

me no like patterns

[manic quarry]

phantom brand is like 50% of the stuff you should always be wary of

[livid fossil]

Cause they don’t want puddles by the group so I have to remember to run away when I have puddles

[rose jewel]

its a very obvious sound queue

DINGGGG

[obsidian valve]

sounds like she's picking on you

[manic quarry]

Brand p1 is meteors

[obsidian valve]

j/k

[manic quarry]

Brand p2 is very deadly DoT puddle if you're not careful enough

Brand p3 is yet another deadly dot aoe that follows you for scythe guard

P4 is a different story

[lucid axle]

would you guys say a mid/low piece is the same as single high?

[manic quarry]

I always get marked for coop counter brand

[lucid axle]

looking at this in the case for rings though it says low/mid is actually better then single highs

oh wait on single high CDMG ig

[mighty stirrup]

single high > low+mid

[sharp galleon]

Wait when does new paradise start?

Havnt logged in for a bit

[ancient ginkgo]

Hi! When is NAE reset- is it <t:1761116400:T>?

[vast oriole]

[vast oriole]

[buoyant dock]

ＮＡ reset local time: <t:1741600800:t>
ＥＵ reset local time: <t:1745056800:t>
Weekly reset is on Wednesday server time.

[sharp galleon]

Ily

[ancient ginkgo]

Oh cheers thank you!

Is that the same for both NAW and NAE?

[vast oriole]

yes

its same for all regions

they all reset at the same times

its obviously not same hour because timezones

[ancient ginkgo]

thanks for the clarification!

[vast oriole]

but eu is 12pm

[ancient ginkgo]

It’s diff for me haha

[vast oriole]

it just shows my time

yes

[ancient ginkgo]

As in between na/eu but thats probs a dst thing

[vast oriole]

yeah maybe

did you change time yet?

[elder anchor]

anyone know how to reliably start crucible with full meter?

[ancient ginkgo]

Was wondering because the loa launch page quoted different utcs for each region

Oops wrong one

[vast oriole]

i think thats outdated

[ancient ginkgo]

they must’ve converged at some point

thank you!

[fervent mauve]

Hey question, if NA is the one being merged why is downtime for EU 8 hours

from a logical point of view i know you guys aren't support

well arna is but she's hiding it

[candid lake]

could be preping for next week

no idea

or many infrastructure shit

[rose wren]

thats how region maints r

[vast oriole]

ags is weird

prob will finish early anyway

(for eu, na can rot 30+ hours)

[lavish mortar]

Confirmed arna hates me and by extension my doggo

[vast oriole]

Noooo its for your doggo i say that so you can have fun together

[lavish mortar]

I do anyways tho, all I do during the week is some dailies while he naps
If he's up he gets attention xD

Cuz I got that yucky work away from home thing so I give him all the attention I can when I can

[split kayak]

Do they ever extended a merge maintenance before?

[shy chasm]

Yes

[split kayak]

No loa for a day ig
Aight thank you

[rose jewel]

36 was the previous record

[shadow pasture]

More like 3 days

[rose jewel]

and those were server merges

[lavish mortar]

Surely they've improved with the practice they've had doing the SA NAE merge

[shadow pasture]

Can’t wait to gatekeep NAW

So my ping is a little lower

[lavish mortar]

As long as lobby lead is NAE no diff no ?

[shadow pasture]

Actually yeah it does default to NAE

[rose wren]

can still be NAW

[shadow pasture]

They should do this for the South Americans

So all the vairgrys players will play with each other instead

[rose wren]

theyve merge EU aswell

[lavish mortar]

Oh true I forgot about that

They should merge NA and EU marketplace....

[indigo marten]

AWS down about to help world record maint

Nah, just 1 time ever. Then make sure to log in every week to collect the keys

[floral barn]

Okay, thank you!

[sullen spire]

Was the reset tomorrow morning?

[rose wren]

yep

[sullen spire]

Thanks yeah I quit since April I completely forgot lol

[obsidian valve]

yep time to go grocery shopping in the morning since i guess maint will still be going

[balmy plank]

Every wednesday. Keep in mind tomorrow is the merge so the servers wont be up all day

[sullen spire]

Ohh right I forgot about the merge too

[signal furnace]

woof

[foggy venture]

is the playstyle of breaker a builder spender and short window burst?

[shadow pasture]

for which spec

burgerking?

[obsidian valve]

now i'm hungry again

[balmy plank]

Which breaker?

[foggy venture]

looking at asura path

[fervent mauve]

asura:
build gauge, dump it into one continuous barrage
breaker
build gauge, open your identity, dump enhanced skills, end identity

[balmy plank]

Asura is a non-stop uptime class with shorts burts of its identity. You have the freedom of not hitting the boss to build identity guage

[molten grove]

Time to gatekeep nae to keep my ping lower

[foggy venture]

so valk and asura have a lot in common?

[shadow pasture]

valk stole from asura

[balmy plank]

Idk anything about valk

[shadow pasture]

valk is basically a frankenstein of multiple classes

[whole blaze]

If I delete the character that rise of valkyrie event is on can I place it on another character?

[balmy plank]

But I know sura. Your identity is like 40% of your overall damage in a short burst window

[shadow pasture]

no

[whole blaze]

sadge

[balmy plank]

No, the event is lost

[fervent mauve]

gatekeep nae because no rice eaters allowed in my lobby

[molten grove]

My constant bitching and complaining worked, they have heard my latency complaints GGez W merge

[balmy plank]

#general-chat #lost-ark-discussions

[fervent mauve]

i see the fit

[cloud egret]

Whats the cheapest way to make a new alt rightnow? I want to prepare a new character for the next express event, im assuming we wont get another power pass right?

[balmy plank]

Cheap? slowly quest and play it alone to build up mats to single handedly fund its way to the top over the course of 5 months

Less cheap? Use your mains gold to fund all the honing & knowledge transfer to raise it over 3 months

[molten grove]

The cheapest way is by picking the cheapest alt

Cheapest alt = Cheapest engravings and lowest number of gems

[balmy plank]

The alt you pick will have zero cost differene for 200 hours until your peak endgame and buying relic books and gems

You can ignore that

[lavish mortar]

I think there an alright chance we get another powerpass, but it for sure isn't a guarantee

[balmy plank]

Im sceptical. We just got 2

This next express will be used on that 2nd powerpass char we just got

[lavish mortar]

Yeah but how are you gonna get new players excited to come fight kazeros if they can't play the game

[balmy plank]

New players arnt gonna be fighting Kazeros

[lavish mortar]

I think like 40% we get another s kurz pp 60% we dont

[cloud egret]

ye coping on a new one would be lovely

[balmy plank]

The last express ended at 1660 with a few small bonus chests after. Kazeros at minimum is 1710. Its just not for them

[lavish mortar]

Its gonna release with express+ road
And im kinda thinking it'll be a copy paste of last one

So it'll put them close ish, but gatekept out cuz side systems

[balmy plank]

We have the road event rewards from Kr & while ours is usually a bit better it provides no honing support and is very very shit

[cloud egret]

i mean the knowledge transfer strat if im gonna swipe for the pass once which one is worth to spend my gold on before i swipe up to kaz pp or whatever gives me end of t3 or sum

[balmy plank]

"worth" is subjective for real money. If youre gonna buy a powerpass pay 600g to KT to North Vern, saving $10, then buy a powerpass to either South or North Kurzan

[dull leaf]

road to kaz is Oct or Nov?

[balmy plank]

November

[lavish mortar]

Nov

[cloud egret]

that sounds good tyvm

[livid fossil]

60 hour maintenance here we go

[manic quarry]

i should log on for a bit and log off

ohh, okay thank you

[viral marsh]

8 hours for EU when nothing happens for EU?

Still no events or log in rewards

[static lance]

I right clicked my blood claw in my inventory and it dissapeared, i thought the game just stored it for me, but upon trying to turn it in it says i dont have any to turn in? any help?

i def claimed my rewards

[wet moss]

You have 5 Pieces of bloodclaw

But you have not a full bloodclaw map

[static lance]

So i cant claim any rewrds till i have all 5 pieces?

[wet moss]

Yeah cause the rewards are meant for a full bloodcla map

[static lance]

ok

[wet moss]

And we can get up to 2 rn

If you have all pieces

[static lance]

How do i make into a map

[wet moss]

Collect the right ones

They are automatically a map

Every piece has a specific slot

[static lance]

Thank you

[wet moss]

[weary oyster]

this merge need 20 hours,

how about eu?

8 hours

[foggy venture]

does this mean we are getting the balance patch with the regon merge?

[dim pulsar]

No, patch is 29th

[fresh mauve]

Hey im new to the game and wanting to be a dps main what's the best character that does the most dps that dosnt get gatekept

[shadow pasture]

just play whoever

people dont really gatekeep off of class

[foggy venture]

do not play dps paladin or artist

also scouter is hard to recommend

almost everything else is solid

[minor igloo]

the newer the class, the more busted they tend to be

[shadow pasture]

or just hard cope and pray you get a gunlancer level balance patch

[dim pulsar]

also if ur class is busted u should expect NERF so

[minor igloo]

most of the nerfs took them off top 3 but still not blue lancer

so it's barely anything

[foggy venture]

wym? gunlancer is pretty much getting a rework this month

[bronze lance]

here u go 3 hour video showcase while we're in maintenance @fresh mauve
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxsj5rCL0ps

[shadow pasture]

i think you misunderstood

[minor igloo]

he did indeed

[shadow pasture]

gunlancer got the patch they finally wanted

while SH is still eating dirt

[foggy venture]

oh

[minor igloo]

[shadow pasture]

just 5 more balance patches of +3%

[strange viper]

are they getting a rework or what? or are you saying they alrdy got one and this is the best its ever gonna be for the foreseeable future

[shadow pasture]

gl basically got a rework

red gl is an actual dps class now

and blue gl is the double syngery slave

[dim pulsar]

with shit dps

[shadow pasture]

i mean its too early rn

to know how blue gl is doing

but its probably the same

[strange viper]

i prefer blue over red. red just feels horrible to me with all the charge up skills. blue is not great either but at least its impossible to die or get knocked down

[shadow pasture]

you should see blue gl rn

they made that class have zoomies

its like not even a slow class

that mf has 6 jumps

[strange viper]

i have blue gl 1640ish. used to be in my main 6 but it got demoted

[marsh grove]

how do people feel about SE at 1680+? ive heard mixed opinions

[shadow pasture]

like from the perspective of the SEs?
