dim pulsar
#

dim pulsar
#

molten grove
#

bold geyser
molten grove
#

everysingle time i hone, im always gated by fusion mats or redstones, those 2 are the most brutal bottlenecks

dim pulsar
#

bold geyser
#

i have wayyyyy to many

molten grove
bold geyser
#

need like 5k+ to finish everything

#

and another like 6k+ 31-40

molten grove
#

yep im at the 31-40 atm its fked

dim pulsar
#

i refuse to tap adv without hell stuff

bold geyser
#

like free shit?

dim pulsar
#

ya, i only tap with free stuff

molten grove
#

i used like 2k free tappies too trying to skip the +18-19 coz no book for that 1 ilvl and only got 1 piece

bold geyser
#

ssaaaammeee

#

but now theres books and they're bouncing wildly in prices

molten grove
#

no book covers 18-19

#

1 book ends at 18 and other starts at 19 lol

bold geyser
#

thats not how that works =X

#

the number on the book is the level you're honing to

molten grove
#

i have the 15-18 book and also the 19-20 book and i cant use either

bold geyser
#

then you're either at 13 or 20

molten grove
#

no im at 18

bold geyser
#

wrong book

molten grove
#

nah i show u

dim pulsar
#

19-20 book its from Hard Kaze Susge

empty moon
#

bold geyser
#

#

dim pulsar

bold geyser
#

missing legendary magic defense, feelsbadman

dim pulsar
#

i still look for water/lightning dmg KEKW

faint cedar
#

That’s something being gone for 2ish years did set me back on

#

So many missed pet opportunities

candid lake
#

it's the same for all books

#

you get the books from raids usually after you hone to the ilevel that you dont need them anymore

#

for w/e reason

bold geyser
#

(to support alts)

#

i have to assume

faint cedar
#

I can’t really complain

#

I didn’t have to touch normal hone til 19/20 on most my pieces

#

Free tapped to 20 19 19 19 18 18, but still left me shy of 1720 by 4 taps

bold geyser
faint cedar
#

2 of my regular tap 20 armors pittied so karma is a bitch

bold geyser
#

i pitied the same piece 3 times in a row 🥲

void chasm
#

charred condor
#

how can I do ym guardian raids when no one is doing them under 1680 ilvl?

candid lake
#

it usually was like 3-4 minutes long but really depends if u have mana issues

#

even at 1680 i soloed argeos because i couldnt be bothered with scorp

charred condor
candid lake
#

what class are you?

charred condor
#

destroyer, DB, breaker

#

all of them doing aregos

#

how much health does it have?

void chasm
bold geyser
#

candid lake
bold geyser
#

candid lake
#

#

for armoche hm

#

xD

lavish mortar
smoky sun
#

deep dive it is then

lavish mortar
#

more dmg = less patterns = less dmg you can take

smoky sun
#

:|

lavish mortar
#

just use los ArtistWhat

bold geyser
#

somebody should update that google doc w/ solo hp totals mokokoSus

indigo breach
#

Wait, they are not gonna nerf its mech?

vast oriole
#

in frontier? no

indigo breach
#

The unpurifiable bleeding is the worst shit

#

I mean after frontier

vast oriole
#

he will do less dmg

#

probably

indigo breach
#

Hmmm

#

But this boss does not have a real berserk, which makes it better

#

Since you die anyway after being knocked away during sandstorm KEKW

candid lake
#

cries in berserked run during prog

#

but honestly it really depends on support

#

as artist i was able to shield my teammates and free them outside of the sandstorm

void chasm
#

rip me do i get the coins i need t4 gems

candid lake
#

ye u do

void chasm
#

someone helped me and got me relic jeweleryu

#

ok ill try do the lgion raids thanks

candid lake
#

solo shop coins right?

void chasm
#

yea

bold geyser
#

make sure you're doing the highest raids you can manage for the most gold each week 🙂

void chasm
#

what u just called me

rancid mica
#

any good build for Paradise ( WD - Slayer - Artist ) ?

shadow pasture
#

they should have a paradise section

charred condor
#

why is it so hard to get to 1680 yet 1680 is so far waya from the new content

molten grove
#

Coz ur supposed to swipe

charred condor
#

i see

vast oriole
#

its not true and its not that hard

mellow mauve
molten grove
#

No it’s very hard without the express event

vast oriole
#

its not

molten grove
#

For new players

mellow mauve
#

and all honing takes time regardless if it's 1640 to 1660 or 1580 to 1620

vast oriole
#

depending on their ilvl, its probably adv honing

#

and theres no express for advance honing

charred condor
#

when do you even advance hone idk whats going on anymore

bold geyser
#

?advhoning

vast oriole
#

?advhoning

buoyant dockBOT
#

Optimal Advanced Honing Order
+14 -> 1-10 -> +16 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-30 -> 31-40 -> Continue to normal hone.

  • Honing to +20/31-40 are comparable in cost but with normal honing you're gambling with 1.5% odds and advanced honing provides 3% base stats. Because of this finishing advanced honing first is recommended.

bold geyser
#

too slow

vast oriole
#

but like i told you earlier, dont advance hone before december patch

molten grove
#

But also the way the ilvl honing system works in LA is based on which honing phase the boss comes out on, the max is +25 so if the boss came out during +18-22 then it’s gonna be giga hard compared to if boss came out during like +10

mellow mauve
#

honestly I would hold off on ahing till we see kr's LOA-ON

vast oriole
#

yeah

mellow mauve
#

they're nerfing 1-20

vast oriole
#

just need to wait 9 days

molten grove
bold geyser
#

oh, also, the +2% bonus from 30 is...on that specific piece? or total?

mellow mauve
vast oriole
#

thats why you need to start with weapon

bold geyser
#

figured

#

damn

mellow mauve
#

or using an express

vast oriole
#

because its the biggest upgrade

molten grove
#

No the chance is really high and books are basically free and mats required is low

bold geyser
bold geyser
#

it be like that

#

i got helm + shoulder to +20 tho so thats neat

#

def gonna pity weapon

#

waiting for cheap books

vast oriole
#

poggers

bold geyser
#

nothing interesting at 1710 for a scrub right?

#

just denouement?

molten grove
bold geyser
#

not if i'm like 3 raids off 😄

molten grove
#

If ur 3 raids off then u just keep honing and progressing lol

bold geyser
#

workin on it

lavish mortar
molten grove
bold geyser
#

this is why my leaf shouldn't go away before 10 clears 😄

rose wren
#

its 30 this time

bold geyser
#

not if my ilvl is too high soweary

vast oriole
primal herald
#

is defense good in this game

#

is the last one supposed to be better for dps chars over the healing one? (since dps chars dont have healing except potions)

#

ofc assuming ur capped atk speed/move speed so u dont need the obvious choice

vast oriole
#

healing received

primal herald
#

oh

#

so def one is troll?

bold geyser
#

lower damage taken means less healing needed too pepeShrug

lucid axle
#

the pity for bloodclaw map from FB is 20 right?

cyan kiln
#

18 iirc

lavish mortar
lucid axle
lavish mortar
#

the attack/move speed i assume

#

but lots of classes can't build around that so idk shrug

lucid axle
#

like cap AS/MS when you are feasted

#

not cap outside of it

#

so instead of 140 AS/MS you build around having 135 AS/MS and let feast complete the rest for you

cyan kiln
#

That pretty much only matters for crit/swift builds tho

lavish mortar
#

you usually only plan around AS/MS feast for SSB and spec classes i thought

cyan kiln
#

Spec classes are gonna max spec no matter what

lucid axle
#

well still go AS/MS then even if you arent a crit swift build because AS helps

primal herald
#

ah yeah

cyan kiln
#

So the secondary stat is what it is

primal herald
#

my class kinda just has cap by default

lavish mortar
#

i just go hp/healing cuz i main full swift pred so it don't matter kekwaddle

#

esp on proggo

lucid axle
#

a lot of class build around RC efficiency too not necessarily SSB

primal herald
#

only think i can do is mass increase

cyan kiln
#

Some classes are forced into rc so you just max it as best you can

lucid axle
#

but yeah if you are a class like pred where you can hit 100% CR with max AS/MS pretty easily then the AS/MS feast doesnt really do anything

cyan kiln
#

Some classes just used to be alcoholics tho

#

Chugging that wine

vast oriole
#

Unlucky cant use wine with azena xD

obsidian valve
#

rip

cyan kiln
#

I mean you can but…

lucid axle
#

but feast sometimes help crit/swift class move more points into there crit stat which helps

cyan kiln
#

Drinking the bathwater usually better yeah

rose jewel
#

Inana bathwater? count me in

primal herald
molten grove
plucky drum
#

@vast oriole remember i said i be like "what the f is this now?" earlier...i am again coz what f is this now? xD

vast oriole
#

or nether keys

plucky drum
#

oki!

#

thank you!

vast oriole
#

people usually keep 1 key per week

#

to not get altar on the last one and you dont have key to transmute

#

i never do it

#

but yeah

plucky drum
#

gotcha maybe next time ill try that

bold geyser
#

i only ever get an altar on my last key of the week

#

so i dont bother running it until i have more

molten grove
#

everytime i transmute my key i get downgrade so i dont even bother anymore

#

my rng is actually negative

bold geyser
#

hmm

#

i think i'm slightly negative

#

nether keys dont change quality do they? or do they also change that

molten grove
#

same grade as what was fed

bold geyser
#

if they dont change, i feel like i've gotten around as many, or slightly more, upgrades + nether keys vs downgrades

#

and the orange keys i've gotten from upgrades account for 100% of my floor 100s

molten grove
#

i h8 rng in general coz my emotions are hit hard when something is taken away from me but doesnt hit a high when i gain something

bold geyser
#

i feel that

#

bothers me less when i'm the one pulling the lever 😄

#

unless it was a bad bet to begin with then i'm kicking myself

#

...in what scenario do i take elysian tickets in hell

vast oriole
#

if you try for ranking

bold geyser
#

i dunno what the 1580 bracket gives for tickets but its 10 in 1700

#

vs 45k worth of fusions

#

which isn't bad but i'm not sure what honing in t3 is going to look like in a few weeks =X

candid lake
#

b/c w/ books, on avg it's 2.2k fusions for 13-19

bold geyser
#

enough to hit 1620, not enough to hit +20 AH

candid lake
#

or w/e it is

#

ah

bold geyser
#

probably?

candid lake
#

you need around 5.5k fusions for ah 1-20 on avg

bold geyser
#

i can recheck the math but yeah

candid lake
#

with juice on grace

bold geyser
#

yeah then i'm sh ort

vast oriole
bold geyser
#

i'm fine with taking fusions just dont wanna spit in the face of paradise is all 😄

#

one-tapping AH is impressive

void chasm
#

it says my quest is there for 1640 quest but when i go there its nothing

vast oriole
#

well did you do all prerequisites?

void chasm
#

oh

#

ok i see

#

#

u

exposinng me

#

for being broke

#

?!

#

oh so solo raids gives bounded but if i did it in a group i get tradable?

#

i cant even upgrade rn

#

i cant upgrade

#

my gear

bold geyser
#

only need *un- bound for buying things off the market

buoyant dockBOT
vast oriole
#

i wouldnt upgrade if i was them personally

#

till loa on

#

in case we get more nerfs than just t3

#

dec 17

#

yeah

#

well its not confirmed technically

#

but like

#

events, log-in stops at this date

#

plus, ru has patch on the 17th xd

vast oriole
#

kt doesnt give ilvl or gear

#

except north vern one

#

you need to reach the ilvl, it just skips the story

#

but they are reworking the leveling till t4 iirc

#

again, loa on xd

bold geyser
#

can you get an altar in the nether?

vast oriole
#

yeah

#

dec 7

bold geyser
#

loa on

#

dec 7 mokokoNodders

vast oriole
#

dec 17

#

most likely

#

we know we get some things, ags confirmed

#

but we dont know if we get everything

#

depends which ones i guess

#

i dont really know, we do our own lobbies with my bf

#

some people gatekeep 2100 yeah on act 4

#

for some reason

#

from what i saw, its like 2400

bold geyser
#

act 4 hM?

vast oriole
#

yeah

#

people are gatekeeping like crazy

#

because more dps means you skip the last dogshit phase

#

that people die there so often

#

like 2700+

#

prob more

#

if you want to be comfier, 2900-3000

#

yes and no

#

the desert phase is dogshit

#

people always die there

#

thats why people gatekeep high

#

so they can finish it with like 3 people

#

XD

#

nm kaz is piss easy

#

hardest part is doing a fucking stagger

#

in g1

#

and not die

#

in act 4

#

after the hedgehog

#

you jump into desert

#

you go out, either you get imprisonned

#

or you fall off

#

yep

#

in nm ??

#

eh

#

no

#

XD

#

its fast

#

dps check is less than 100m

#

dont think so

lavish mortar
#

nm vs hm have few differences iirc

vast oriole
#

its not even that long

#

hes skipping all patterns

#

what?

#

for kazeros?

#

its 13mins

#

g1

#

and g2 can skip^half the video

#

its only 2-1 in nm

#

wdym new

#

its 3 weeks ago XDD

lavish mortar
vast oriole
#

and g2 is like till that

#

???

#

what are you even saying

#

i mean yeah its 2 videos

#

still not 1 hour

#

since you can skip half video of g2

#

like i said

lavish mortar
#

30m is too much arna

#

kids these days only have 5m attention span at best

Hey guys. Whats the min cp requirement for Mord Hm?

#

I’m at 1680 and my cp is around 1250..

bold geyser
#

i have such a bad estimation of those th ings

#

1250 should be enough to do it, not sure how easily you'll get in tho

balmy plank
#

Same. I only have 1 HM char and its 2800.
But 1250 feels a little low. Its probably enough to do the dps check but maybe not enouph to pass gatekeeping. My NM chars are ~1350

warm field
bold geyser
#

sounds more reasonable

charred condor
#

where do i get the aegir gear? what shop

brave dove
#

so how much gold im losing here?

balmy plank
#

If youre in elnead, far top left

charred condor
balmy plank
brave dove
#

when i get it dont i lose more?

#

or what

balmy plank
#

Why? That is the fee

You have no trust for 700k so youre getting taxed 25% on 700k

Any tips for doing it right ?

balmy plank
# midnight torrent (all good

It's a purple quest located by the south west triport in Elnead. It was bugged and reverted to the old 1640 requirements. Idk if that has been fixed

midnight torrent
#

oh

#

okok

#

i tp'd to beatrice thinking ill get it there directly

#

but apparently i just got the other awakening skill

#

it's an aeromancer 😄

will it trigger anytime after gauge gets locked? I heard you have to wait an additional second or 2

Sorry for the dm
Does it matter if i see her or not ?
For the medusa thingy

balmy plank

charred condor
#

what are these orbs and what do i take?>

balmy plank
#

Check the pinned comment to see what they do. Rn people are just using the season 1 orbs still

#

If you don't have S1 orbs then take you pick. You get them all eventually anyway

bold geyser
#

its free damage either way, any of them is better than no orb

indigo marten
balmy plank
#

Idk. The support orb isnt as good. The damage ones scale off paradise power so they wont be as string until the end of the season

neat estuary
#

any discord to get pinged for bloodclaw frag/suspicious map?

balmy plank
#

You could try turning on notifications for #events-merchant-boss
But you're probably better off joining a global chat in game. It's an icon in the top left. Just search for bloodclaw or something

tight nexus
#

yaaaay! my expierd south kurzan paower pass problem seems to have be resolved, now to decide on the alt: valk, slayer, summoner, gunslinger or souleater

#

is paradise more chill on any of them? I'm leaning more towards slayer,summoner and souleater

balmy plank
#

I would watch Cauttyh's class showcase and choose the one you think looks the most fun

#

Don't just pick something because paradise. None of your gear is active in paradise and doesn't reflect the class

tight nexus
#

i already have them at 1340 or so and really enjoy them , but my first experience with apradise was last week on my soulfist, it was ahrd af to get it rolling xD

tender flicker
#

lot of classes struggle early paradise

balmy plank
#

Most classes suck at the start of paradise

#

1340 doesn't really reflect the class either. You can even do raids yet

#

Like I said, you should check out the video and watch the parts on those classes. I can link it below in a command too

thanks @balmy plank ❤️

rancid fox
#

what do i need to unlock hyper awakening on my alt

#

online it says need to be 1640 and level 60+ . but i have it on my other alts already so im unsure

balmy plank
#

1540 level 55. It was changed to be used in tier 3 later on

rancid fox
#

i dont see the quest line for it though

balmy plank
#

Last week it was bugged back to the original requirements if it doesn't work. That's not intended and would be fixed eventually

#

Purple quest, south west triport in Elnead

rancid fox
#

i know that its near the exchange rapport on vern castle. but it dosent show.

#

is there any misions i need to do before getting it ?

#

and whats the name of the mision. thernes too many hyper quests to look up.

balmy plank
#

I shared the reqs in the pic above. I've never had to do it so idk what else is required. Idk what you have done or may be missing. The quest name is [hyper awakening] something. It's pretty clear

rancid fox
#

this is like 4 clicks later on the not completed quests.

indigo marten
# balmy plank

reallly bad bug tbh
cause t skill and alt v is giga important to make solo raid faster for newbies
ilvl thaemine without t skill is not fun since u dealing with lot of his normal patterns more

rancid fox
#

it can go on forever

balmy plank
#

The first awakening quest is not complete. Go visit Beatrice probably

rancid fox
#

oh there it is. i saw one purple on her.

#

will see if the hyper is there now

#

yup hah. guess finishing up the alt with gold transfer didnt give me that option

limpid aurora
slate geyser
#

dismantle value isnt even that big to begin with. you'll dismantle only to get more geens

#

greens*

limpid aurora
#

in 80% yes

#

but I already got blues and some purps with it

slate geyser
#

green with a +4 has big value. it's worth it

limpid aurora
#

but only 8s or you also keep the 10s?

slate geyser
#

8s with +4 on the first roll

#

if u dont hit, dismantle and move on

limpid aurora
#

okay with 8s I can come and meet you halfway as those are okay. but 9s and 10s green? yeah nah thx xdd

minor briar
#

i cut a 5/5 on a green w/o a +4, just need +2's and 3's and for them to all hit

approx

limpid aurora

prolly +4 chaos or even better +4 willpower

marsh grove

#

so adding mid on 1 accessory gave me about 1% cp

#

single high to high/mid might be similar

#

someone might have a better answer tho

where to create a ticket?

#

so, now that i have paradise open i remember people saying that they save up cube tickets to get more hell keys, is taht also what I should be doing? I'm 1583 rn, next week probably 1585

marsh grove
#

Does anyone know why sometimes I take dmg and get interrupted during mord g2

#

I have no parasite stacks so I can move freely but the team is paralyzed

#

I can do 1st just guard with no problems

#

but right before the 2nd I take damage and it interrupts me and I can't just guard

#

then I can do the 3rd fine

paper walrus
buoyant dockBOT
paper walrus
#

have fun with ai chatbot

paper walrus
#

if the "damage" you're taking is just you getting sucked in, you're not taking any damage, thats just what happens when you fail the jg

#

someone else did it for you

marsh grove
paper walrus
#

no

marsh grove
#

I'm taking damage before the actual suck happens

#

so the 2nd one is like

#

super fast?

#

or

paper walrus
#

super fast

#

record it, clip it, send it

marsh grove
#

kk, ill try spamming it faster for the 2nd one then

paper walrus
#

steam can do this natively

marsh grove
#

my shit has been so gunked and I havent updated drivers in forever so haven't been recording

#

but I'll take your advice and give guarding faster on the 2nd one a go

#

thank you

Are the tickets from this character bound?

Min/Max Guide for Early Elysian & Crucible _

still hearth
#

why would you choose the challenge ticket chest...? seems kinda like a waste

#

kinda wack chests

vast oriole
#

thats about it

#

chaos stones is decent its free quality taps

#

and accs chest doesnt cost gold or shards to roll

still hearth
#

No amount of tickets is gonna make their time any better KEKW your time is what it is without more pp lol

vast oriole
#

you cna get more loot

#

get better power and get better time

#

idk

still hearth
#

oh wait I'm an idiot

#

I thought it was crucible tickets

vast oriole
#

nop

#

its elysian

#

xD

still hearth
#

Hmmm i mean accessories that don't cost gold is kinda spicy

#

but now I know thats more elysian...

#

how many entries would that 8 chest get me?

tender flicker
#

should be 10

still hearth
#

hmm and I get how many accessory chests?

dim pulsar
#

check here

still hearth
#

10 attempts vs 55 accessories damn

vast oriole
#

are you 1680+ ?

still hearth
#

Yeah

vast oriole
#

are your accs very bad

still hearth
#

maybe

#

(yes)

dim pulsar
#

then go with acc

vast oriole
#

i would prob go for accs personally

dim pulsar
#

extra elysian wont help ur char

still hearth
#

given the fact last season I opened like 175 accessory chests on the last week last season and that didn't help me either

#

I've never been more hurt by paradise in my life

dim pulsar
#

last ones were GOLD/scraps

#

these are FULL SILVER

tender flicker
#

you can full tap all of them

vast oriole
#

your silvers might hurt tho if you dont have a lot xD

tender flicker
#

up to you if you want to push crucible, but probably wouldn't if something like top 30 or top 100 isn't realistic

dim pulsar
#

still u generate way more silver than t4 acc shards KEKW

#

i have 3/6 of my main 6 in Top100/Top10% without touching ANY bonus elysians KEKW

tight nexus
#

speaking of cubes, save tickets or use for paradise keys?mokokoHmmm

vast oriole
#

i personally do cubes

#

because gems are expensive

dim pulsar
#

Sure drop Gemmies >>>>>> Random SHIT in hell

vast oriole
#

i sold like 6 today lvl 5 at 16k

tight nexus
#

was wondering about taht too, i am still in t3, so I guess i am lightyears off from having good gems

vast oriole
#

when you get to t4, you will be able to get lvl 6 t4 gems from solo shop

dim pulsar
#

i buy ALL chests in guild for cubes to gain even 1 more gem KEKW

vast oriole
#

and i do the same XD

tight nexus
#

me too wahoo though not sure how valuable t3 gems are...

vast oriole
#

but in t3 idk, those cubes are hella annoyign to do solo

dim pulsar
#

and it took me almost 6 months to gain almost full set of 8s (some 7s i bought, like 3/4)

vast oriole
#

i exchange t3 gems for t4 ones

tight nexus
#

wait what, exchange? oO

vast oriole
#

you cant rn

#

you need ot be t4

#

to be able to do it

#

its at the gem npc

dim pulsar
#

u can "upgrade" them into T4

#

3lvl T3-> lvl1 T4

#

so old 7s are new 5s

tight nexus
#

ooooo, so I can make some t3 gems with the crap thatI have in hopes of a good t3 one and make it t4?

vast oriole
#

yes

#

to this day i still buy the t3 gems pouches in ships xd

tight nexus
#

that's not bad actually, cheers. makes it so whatI gathered so far is not compeltely useless atleast xD

dim pulsar
#

i gain bonus lvl5 T4 from my T3 chars (5 currently, 6in december)

#
  • more if they drop cubes
vast oriole
#

does the kayangel vendor still sell gems

dim pulsar
#

yeah

vast oriole
#

yeah so its 2 lvl 5s per week

dim pulsar
#

maybe i should do some too KEKW

vast oriole
#

i was before

dim pulsar
#

but am too lazy to do it

vast oriole
#

im too lazy now

#

i was doing it for months

XD

dim pulsar
#

i was doing solo akkans for some more card xp KEKW

ooo I should have some of that kayangel drops, it's at the solo vendor?

welp, guess i can't play LOA today, just keeps crashing without error 👀

tight nexus
#

hmmm, lost on what to do with the extra elysian tickets

shy chasm
#

You use them

tight nexus
#

like, as soona s I get them, or use them for higher elysian?

shy chasm
#

Higher elysian doesn't unlock till next reset

#

Assuming your at lvl 4

#

And by next reset those tickets are gone

tight nexus
#

yup yup, but what i mean is, spend them now or wait for higher tier elysian rewards for higher chances

shy chasm
#

Extra tickets disappear if you dont use them before reset

tight nexus
#

wait what? really? oO

#

OOUUFFF good thing I asked hahahaha

#

strange that it's not mentioned anywhere when I hover over the tickets

balmy plank
#

No, not all of them

#

Only if they specifically say so and have the little timer icon on them. Elysian Tickets from Hell last until the end of the season

tight nexus
#

is it mentioned anywhere, I don't se it or can't read xD

shy chasm
#

You get tickets from hell?

balmy plank
#

If it expired on weekly reset there would be a second red sentence saying so

tight nexus
#

I guess? idk , my first hell week xD

balmy plank

so wait, that means you can get tickets from other places that are weekly? where the hell are those from? KEKW

just shoot for 40 set even if you have poopoo sub stats

do i do this anyways even if i dont got end game content gold ?

i do it for mokoko tokens

oh yeah, i forget mokoko tokens, but when even is down i don't do them xd

for that, you would have to get into a group, and may even have to do a mechanic or two 🙂

Hey, for Astrogems, should I try to fuse useless ones or dismantle them?

and the rich get richer

#

What's the point of fusing Processed Gems ? Praying to RNG?

bold geyser
#

astrogems?

dim pulsar
#

its all rng

rigid lark
#

So, for Astrogems, the optimal thing would be to dismantle cost 9 & 10 uncommon gems and use the cost 8 ones to fuse together with rare cost 10 gems in hopes of getting an astrogem thats low cost to cut?

in general, don't use selectors of any kind unless you know what you're doing and know that there isn't a better way to get what you get from them

#

use chance battle item chests before selectors, use random card packs before selectors

hey guys i have a question

#

is it worth to do KT or shud i go through the story for the combat exp? 😮

bold geyser
#

dont stress about combat xp, just play and you'll level up eventually

#

kt is just a time saver, you spend gold and miss out on some mats, so you have to decide if it's worth the bother you save of doing the campaign yourself

lone hamlet
#

gotcha... thanks....

#

i caN only kt to tier 3 south korzan, is it a lot of mats i would be missing out on or shud i just KT it? im at 1585...

#

my other char is at 1585 too...

vast oriole
#

depends if you want to do paradise now or you can wait 2hrs for each char

#

depends your patience

#

its your gold, we cant tell you what to do xD

lone hamlet
#

wow tht is a lot of rewards....

vast oriole
#

yeah but is it worth your sanity

lone hamlet
#

LOL

#

ok gotcha...

#

do i get those rewards every time i run it?

#

i dont think i wud want to but...

lone hamlet
#

and if i transfer my brel gear to akkan gear do i get + ilvls or do i stay at the same?

vast oriole
#

if youre 1585, you already have akkan gear

marsh grove
#

@lone hamlet what's your roster level

vast oriole
#

brle gear stops at 1580

#

unless you overhoned

lone hamlet
#

ya before i quit maybe 2-3 years ago i got my brel weapon to +20

vast oriole
#

dont tell them to run countless stories just for roster level

#

pls

#

best way to burn out XD

lone hamlet
#

im at 165 rooster!

vast oriole

but yeah it will give you ilvl

#

1580 will go to 1585

#

ohhhhh

vast oriole

lone hamlet
#

4 weeks?!!!

#

oh my goodness

#

(and its kinda 1 year too late like always)

#

is it worth rolling on relic t4 accessories or just wait till i get ancient?

#

ah okay thanks, but my CP on this alt is going to be giga bad until then

What's the achievement that people are requesting for 2-3 Kaz hm lobbies? Is there one for just seeing 2-3 ?

# lone hamlet i have one more question.... so im just a little scared to do guardian raids by ...

sonoval is great to solo coz u get free battle items, highly recommend u solo it or learn how to, new players are short on battle items so having unlimited free ones is such a blessing, if u wanna make fight super ez, put a green purify rune on ur most spammed skill, that boss kinda trys to screw u by lowering ur dmg/crit rate rather than kill u but his debuffs are cleansable i.e purify rune. Dont use cursed doll so the free pots actually heal a big amount if ur having issue with survival.

i have another question that popped up... the engraving system changed a lot since i quit....

so ability stones, legendary, relic are all completely separate now is tht rite?

its something like the base + legendary + relic + (ability stone if u h ave it)?

# lone hamlet i have another question that popped up... the engraving system changed a lot sin...

So before to get 5x3 engravings u needed accessories to give u those engraving stats, nowdays its all streamlined into ark passive. So on accessories what ur looking for is enlightenment points, TLDR any accessories higher than 66? Quality will give u the max enlightenment pnts possible after u fully cut them and TLDR of that is just use ur t3 ancient accessories (fully cut) and w/e stats that give u the most dmg until 1680 then u buy proper accessories and get full enlightenment pnts to unlock ur lost ark passive nodes

#

ability stones now just buff ur engraving by X pnts so 7/7 = 2 pnts per skill line

#

its way easier than before and way better coz u can change builds easily now

#

The trap with T4 relic accessories is yes they are better and they add more dmg but they do not give u more enlightenment pnts so u gotta change them at 1680 anyway thus waste of money in a sense so if u can get away with using t3 ancients till 1680, do it

bold geyser
#

ability stone is a special bonus, not exactly the same as increasing the book count for a given engraving

#

(though sometimes they are very similar)

#

so getting a high-cut stone is less important than it used to be, but you still want one that matches your build with at least +1 for each engraving on it, and still not enough reds to trigger it

#

with the added ability stone kits in hell it's easier than ever to get specific stones, which also means the market has dropped a lot making those more accessible if you dont have a kit

lone hamlet
#

ohhh its easier thanks..... but tht made my head explode a little bit with all the info 😭

#

in your example screenshot there, the "final applied effect" is everything else added together

#

its the base effect + legendary books + relic books + any ability stone effect

lone hamlet
#

ohhhh okies... tht makes sense

molten grove
#

to simplify ur screenshot

#

basically u get 1 stage of bonus every 5 books now

#

and for stone 10/10 is lvl 4 7/7 is lvl 2 etc

lone hamlet
#

ohhhhh

#

tht makes sense....

molten grove
#

so to simplify this even futher, just buy the legendary books and read them so all ur engravings are at maxed out legendary lvl so u only need 2 look at ur relic lvl bonuses

#

legndary books are worthless now and cheap af

bold geyser
#

i'm not sure thats necessarily simplifying 😄

lone hamlet
#

so wht is like the sweet spot for the ability stones now? i mean higher the better.... i remember it used to be going for at least 7/5 but now its like 9/6 or 7/7 maybe?

molten grove
#

7/7 is sweetspot

#

if u cut a 9/6 it will +3 +1 so if ur +3 is on the better engraving its great but if its on a shit engraving then its kinda bad like all out attack only buffs casting skills, if ur class doesnt have all its skills as casting then u gotta check how much dmg ur missing thats unbuffed etc...

lone hamlet
#

gotcha... ya i dont wana deal with all min maxy stufff so i will stick with 7/7

bold geyser
#

like i said, the different ability stone abilities scale differently, gotta see whats good for you

#

5/5 at the minimum, then depending on the engravings any higher is either good or really good

plucky drum
#

are runes purely rng? o.o

#

as far as drop rates?
