go do crafts, its free money
the time sink though 
yeah but i need like 10k and i craft like 200 lmfao
kinda crazy that fusion went back up now that we have hell again
below that it's less enlightenment points >_>
frick me, i thought less points said less rolls me dumb

whatever, u dont cut any below 67Quality
thats cuz they want fast kazeros raid
and its week before TFM Kazeros
its coz way too few ppl actually honing to kaz hm and too many ppl were at like 1700-1720 range tryna hone to 1730 now
i initially thought everyone was gonna fomo and fusions will dump coz all ready for kaz hm nekminit most are not rdy and fomoing now haha
don't bother crafting, just buy the ones i craft off the market 
its prolly gonna go 150g each soon xD
everysingle time i hone, im always gated by fusion mats or redstones, those 2 are the most brutal bottlenecks
just get fusions in hell and ur set 
i have wayyyyy to many
i picked fusion box twice got like over 800 and used them all in adv honing and had havent even finished 1 piece lol
yep im at the 31-40 atm its fked
i refuse to tap adv without hell stuff
like free shit?
ya, i only tap with free stuff
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
i have the 15-18 book and also the 19-20 book and i cant use either
then you're either at 13 or 20
no im at 18
wrong book
nah i show u
19-20 book its from Hard Kaze 
is there a way to lock processed astrogems?
got some from the kaz challenge 
alright i need....5 more pets
no, 4
then i can plausibly have all the pet ranch bonuses
even the useless ones?
Which is ironic bc you sorta need the book to get to hard kaz 
especially the useless ones
no u dont have, just tap below 10% 
missing legendary magic defense, feelsbadman
i still look for water/lightning dmg 
That’s something being gone for 2ish years did set me back on
So many missed pet opportunities
i mean
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
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
2 of my regular tap 20 armors pittied so karma is a bitch
i pitied the same piece 3 times in a row 🥲
how can I do ym guardian raids when no one is doing them under 1680 ilvl?
i usually soloed argeos when i had decent elixirs and transcendence
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
i solo'd but takes so long for me
what class are you?
in solo mode?
7.449bil
oh is there a chart somewhere w/ that
it used to be more
unti lthey nerfed the hp for solo and duo scaling
it only gives 4 man hp
i misread
all good 😄
not a chart though, right? only shows on individual battle logs?
always more dmg wdym
deep dive it is then
more dmg = less patterns = less dmg you can take
:|
just use los 
somebody should update that google doc w/ solo hp totals 
Wait, they are not gonna nerf its mech?
in frontier? no
Hmmm
But this boss does not have a real berserk, which makes it better
Since you die anyway after being knocked away during sandstorm 
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
rip me do i get the coins i need t4 gems
ye u do
solo shop coins right?
yea
make sure you're doing the highest raids you can manage for the most gold each week 🙂
what u just called me
any good build for Paradise ( WD - Slayer - Artist ) ?
check lost ark nexus
they should have a paradise section
why is it so hard to get to 1680 yet 1680 is so far waya from the new content
Coz ur supposed to swipe
i see
its not true and its not that hard
1680 isn't far from new content
No it’s very hard without the express event
its not
For new players
and all honing takes time regardless if it's 1640 to 1660 or 1580 to 1620
depending on their ilvl, its probably adv honing
and theres no express for advance honing
when do you even advance hone idk whats going on anymore
?advhoning
?advhoning
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.

too slow
but like i told you earlier, dont advance hone before december patch
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
honestly I would hold off on ahing till we see kr's LOA-ON
yeah
they're nerfing 1-20
just need to wait 9 days
Nah 1640-1660 is piss ez
oh, also, the +2% bonus from 30 is...on that specific piece? or total?
specific
yes, when you're established
thats why you need to start with weapon
or using an express
because its the biggest upgrade
No the chance is really high and books are basically free and mats required is low
well i didn't get g3 week one so i didn't get weapon 🥲
it be like that
i got helm + shoulder to +20 tho so thats neat
def gonna pity weapon
waiting for cheap books
poggers
That’s huge
not if i'm like 3 raids off 😄
If ur 3 raids off then u just keep honing and progressing lol
workin on it
he means he's 1710 but learning mordum i think
Oh then even easier
this is why my leaf shouldn't go away before 10 clears 😄
its 30 this time
not if my ilvl is too high 
yeah its dumb
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
healing received
lower damage taken means less healing needed too 
the pity for bloodclaw map from FB is 20 right?
18 iirc
20% incoming healing, not 20% outgoing healing
if ur gonna feast before every raid might as well build around it but healing ig works
wdym build around it
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
That pretty much only matters for crit/swift builds tho
you usually only plan around AS/MS feast for SSB and spec classes i thought
Spec classes are gonna max spec no matter what
well still go AS/MS then even if you arent a crit swift build because AS helps
ah yeah
So the secondary stat is what it is
my class kinda just has cap by default
a lot of class build around RC efficiency too not necessarily SSB
only think i can do is mass increase
Some classes are forced into rc so you just max it as best you can
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
Unlucky cant use wine with azena xD
rip
I mean you can but…
but feast sometimes help crit/swift class move more points into there crit stat which helps
Drinking the bathwater usually better yeah
Inana bathwater? count me in

if ur capped then consider running Mass Increase over CD etc
@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
you can transmute your key inside and get either worse grade, better
or nether keys
ohhhh
oki!
thank you!
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
gotcha maybe next time ill try that
i only ever get an altar on my last key of the week
so i dont bother running it until i have more
everytime i transmute my key i get downgrade so i dont even bother anymore
my rng is actually negative
hmm
i think i'm slightly negative
nether keys dont change quality do they? or do they also change that
same grade as what was fed
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
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
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
if you try for ranking
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
do you have any fusions rn?
b/c w/ books, on avg it's 2.2k fusions for 13-19
enough to hit 1620, not enough to hit +20 AH
probably?
you need around 5.5k fusions for ah 1-20 on avg
i can recheck the math but yeah
with juice on grace
yeah then i'm sh ort
i'm fine with taking fusions just dont wanna spit in the face of paradise is all 😄
one-tapping AH is impressive
well did you do all prerequisites?
LOL ITS A JOKE HES MY FRIEND
HAHAHAHHAA

i cant even upgrade rn
i cant upgrade
my gear
only need *un- bound for buying things off the market
Jump to Gear Progression Steps: #lost-ark-help message
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
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
can you get an altar in the nether?
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
act 4 hM?
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
nm vs hm have few differences iirc
its not even that long
hes skipping all patterns
like
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

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
and here i am watching 30mins+ of one tiktok video

looordt...finally finished this solo raid x.x

booty bless deathboi and his solo guides
Ayy Congrats! 
thank you thank you
i'm just stacking up resources and hone here and there
i wanna try ivory tower but i might get clapped here xD
There's a solo guide on it so it doesn't hurt to try
haha! watching the vid guide now
You'll probably die a few times but you'll learn quickly I believe in you. 
Hey guys. Whats the min cp requirement for Mord Hm?
I’m at 1680 and my cp is around 1250..
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
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
1500+ seems to be the minimum from what I'm reading. 
sounds more reasonable
where do i get the aegir gear? what shop
so how much gold im losing here?
Kazeros gear crafting NPC
If youre in elnead, far top left
ty
unlucky game dying
This is help chat, not doomer chat. Please keep it to questions here
ah yes not being able to send gold from roster to roster, without being punished a little by it.
Means game is dying
What did I just say?
Anyone can help with tips on hidden sidereal azena
For brelshaza g2 in last phase ?
I got it right 3 times , and failed it 3 times
Any tips for doing it right ?
Ty
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
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 😄
send azena as soon as this happens
will it trigger anytime after gauge gets locked? I heard you have to wait an additional second or 2
Ty
Sorry for the dm
Does it matter if i see her or not ?
For the medusa thingy
I ignore DMs too. I also don't raid lead and have no clue how it works. I did my first HM Brel I'm 3 months today
any
you should turn away regardless because it will charm
ive seen runs happen where secret happens and someone gets charmed
Ahh i see
This is the last question
Should i get near her first before the mech happen
Someone told me that i need to get close too , so the secret mech happens
you can be across the map
what are these orbs and what do i take?>
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
its free damage either way, any of them is better than no orb
is it me or the shield s2 orb is really poo poo

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
any discord to get pinged for bloodclaw frag/suspicious map?
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
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
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
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
lot of classes struggle early paradise
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 ❤️
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
1540 level 55. It was changed to be used in tier 3 later on
i dont see the quest line for it though
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
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.
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
this is like 4 clicks later on the not completed quests.
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
it can go on forever
It looks like you have zero awakenings then. You need the first 2
The first awakening quest is not complete. Go visit Beatrice probably
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
also sucks for new non-T4 paradise chars
hi, can s1 explain me the astrogems strategy like i'm 4yo please? dismantle: green; fuse/consume blue+?
no dont dismantle green

right click on greens. if u see a +4 and hit, keep cutting. If you don't, move on.
that is way to gamba dude

dismantle value isnt even that big to begin with. you'll dismantle only to get more geens
greens*
green with a +4 has big value. it's worth it
but only 8s or you also keep the 10s?
okay with 8s I can come and meet you halfway as those are okay. but 9s and 10s green? yeah nah thx xdd
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
I'm unable to use the scrolls in my inventory? This is on a 1630.
you're ahing armor
that scroll is for weapon
Oh brain fart I thought that was my weapon.

Are there issues with Lost Ark atm? I am getting a server authentication error whenever I open the game.
Anyone got a clue on when the kazeros skins come out? Im hoping next week with the race
yeah, kazeros skins with tfm race
dumb question but +4 means = "if you see a +4 chaos points option on green gem, then start processing, if not, dismantle"?
prolly +4 chaos or even better +4 willpower
finally, been waiting 2-3 months 💀
upgrading from event accessories (1 mid + flat line) to mid/mid gave me 1% CP increase per accessory
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
Is it only me or sometimes I can't unmute the game sounds? I try to check/uncheck the Master Volume box, but it doesn't change anything.
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
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

have fun with ai chatbot
2nd and 3rd are way faster than 1st
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
the timing is the same for each one, no?
no
I'm taking damage before the actual suck happens
so the 2nd one is like
super fast?
or
kk, ill try spamming it faster for the 2nd one then
steam can do this natively
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?
yes
Everything from hell is character bound
We getting Powerpass with TFM?
Anyone can help a sec, im on a story quest rising embers, and i have to shout in normal chat : We fight togheter, but for some reason (language setting is eng/us) it doesnt take my keyboard input (happened before). Can someone type it here so i can paste it?
We fight together
thanks alot man ❤️
Wth why are people asking for earth set for a guardian raid
Skolakia? It's 10% weak to earth so the earth set is much stronger than los
Assuming it's 18awak+
Ah
x700 kaz g1, does ww work?
you mean prokel? yes
idk why some ppl say it doesnt
because they are dumb
LOA not launching for me 👀
Do bleed and poison runes stack with each other?
yeah, you can use both
?paradise
why would you choose the challenge ticket chest...? seems kinda like a waste
kinda wack chests
people like it to tryhard ranking
thats about it
chaos stones is decent its free quality taps
and accs chest doesnt cost gold or shards to roll
No amount of tickets is gonna make their time any better
your time is what it is without more pp lol
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?
should be 10
hmm and I get how many accessory chests?
10 attempts vs 55 accessories damn
are you 1680+ ?
Yeah
are your accs very bad
then go with acc
i would prob go for accs personally
extra elysian wont help ur char
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
you can full tap all of them
your silvers might hurt tho if you dont have a lot xD
up to you if you want to push crucible, but probably wouldn't if something like top 30 or top 100 isn't realistic
still u generate way more silver than t4 acc shards 
i have 3/6 of my main 6 in Top100/Top10% without touching ANY bonus elysians 
lol both initial loading windows come up, then nothing 😭
What is the % nerf for Kaz each week from the frontier system?
lucky for you
my luck this season has been awful
if we fol.low same as mordum and brel
Thank you!
Is there a dmg nerf as well?
yea
Same percentages? 
prob not
do you only lose out on more lucky room chances with running 3x cubes?
but i dont remember
yea
ok ty, wasn't sure if i'd be missing out on anything else
speaking of cubes, save tickets or use for paradise keys?
Sure drop Gemmies >>>>>> Random SHIT in hell
i sold like 6 today lvl 5 at 16k
was wondering about taht too, i am still in t3, so I guess i am lightyears off from having good gems
when you get to t4, you will be able to get lvl 6 t4 gems from solo shop
i buy ALL chests in guild for cubes to gain even 1 more gem 
and i do the same XD
me too
though not sure how valuable t3 gems are...
but in t3 idk, those cubes are hella annoyign to do solo
and it took me almost 6 months to gain almost full set of 8s (some 7s i bought, like 3/4)
i exchange t3 gems for t4 ones
wait what, exchange? oO
ooooo, so I can make some t3 gems with the crap thatI have in hopes of a good t3 one and make it t4?
that's not bad actually, cheers. makes it so whatI gathered so far is not compeltely useless atleast xD
i gain bonus lvl5 T4 from my T3 chars (5 currently, 6in december)
- more if they drop cubes
does the kayangel vendor still sell gems
yeah so its 2 lvl 5s per week
maybe i should do some too 
i was before
but am too lazy to do it
i was doing solo akkans for some more card xp 
ooo I should have some of that kayangel drops, it's at the solo vendor?
might go do some kayangels to get those 2x5lvl T3
yep
welp, guess i can't play LOA today, just keeps crashing without error 👀
hmmm, lost on what to do with the extra elysian tickets
like, as soona s I get them, or use them for higher elysian?
Higher elysian doesn't unlock till next reset
Assuming your at lvl 4
And by next reset those tickets are gone
yup yup, but what i mean is, spend them now or wait for higher tier elysian rewards for higher chances
Extra tickets disappear if you dont use them before reset
wait what? really? oO
OOUUFFF good thing I asked hahahaha
strange that it's not mentioned anywhere when I hover over the tickets
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
is it mentioned anywhere, I don't se it or can't read xD
oooooooo ok
You get tickets from hell?
If it expired on weekly reset there would be a second red sentence saying so
I guess? idk , my first hell week xD
You can now yea
so wait, that means you can get tickets from other places that are weekly? where the hell are those from? 
wb i think ?
ooooo I see one for 3k gold from the shop
... 😅
yay it launched finally lol
help kings
with the silver T3 change coming I'm presuming that only applies to honing, not advanced honing T3?
wind, feather, eye, fire
thanks
I imagine there will be zero changes to adv honing
should i be rolling gems like this that have dps and support lines if im a dps
when are they getting nerfed?
idk, but seems like every new system is more complicated than the last 😵💫
yeah i dont get it
just cut em
i heard the cores arent even viable unless you get the correct one you need in legendary
its like elixers basically
just shoot for 40 set even if you have poopoo sub stats
They all start like that and you can roll chances to swap them to different effects
900 gold a tap is crazy
for now, your only priority is getting red and yellow to activate your core
worry about lines after
its like getting 40 set elixir vs getting good lines
yes, wp effic and order pts are the most important.. minmaxing the rest is like getting getting going from 40 elixir to 50
do i do this anyways even if i dont got end game content gold ?
still gives you mats for advanced honing, so you could
personally i don't do them ,but you should, it give you mats an for 1680 you should do them
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
oh oki
What's the point of fusing Processed Gems ? Praying to RNG?
astrogems?
its all rng
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?
i believe so
always RNG

i would run it for special honing mat and smol chance to drop echidna card
whats echidna card thought i only need light of salvation ?
lightning dps set
while most of raid u use LoS cause it is maxed for free
on the side u can prep for other set
lightning set vs brel is echidna
there is also earth for mordrum and iirc u need fire for the new raid but idr which one
ideally get 18 each on them but that is over time thing not farm it now thing
and archdemon/god bonus dmg
ehm i have a character, did raid and chaos build..
ehm im 1585 and im confused how to progress into... playing with players etc
there is archdemon card set?
from this stuff, yes
oh kek
im new i never got it for free.. xD
you'll get free LOS in mid december ish
december it is
bruh
exactly what i wanted to hear
i have useless selectors....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh6vjB0syTc tho express event in December be a better time to hone and QOL updates
In this guide, I will cover practically everything you need to pick up Lost Ark in 2025. This is an updated guide that will cover all relevant information regarding classes, systems, as well as progression for both new & returning players when utilizing an event. Please use the timestamps listed to jump around as the video is quite long. Additio...
thank you ❤️ i will give it a watch
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
okok
is this quest still not doable? ive killed him on hm
kaz 2-2
kr gets to do it in december iirc
us? no idea
need to wait for MSQ to progress 
yes
does anyone know how much cp it gives if i max evolution karma from 0 to max?
might be like 50
i think karma as a whole gives 150? but i doubt they weigh the same so maybe it’s less than 50
sure
no worries
guys what should i prioritize in this shop?
imo: astro gems, 19-20 books, 15-18 books, cubes, bracer tickets
cards as needed
what CP do you need to clear kaz HM?
probably like 2500-2700 range
2500 would be pretty bare minimum esp with cores
how do i counter?
im a artillerist, my skills only include normal, point, chain
and holding
thanks for showing me where to look
there are also some tripods altering skill behaviour which sometimes adds or removes the counter ability
so the text is not 100% always true
k, none of my skills that i use have counter, so now i will be using a lvl 1
forward barrage is your counterskill
or swing if you play firepower enhancement build
ya i equipped both
anyone know the CP req for act 4 HM then?
2200 prob reasonable to clear
2500+ for pug gatekeeping if i had to guess?
more always better for prog 
jus do nm and get some cp from ark grid and then go hm
Yeah thats dumb af
would you guys say it’s best to just run NM for while before doing HM then if i don’t care about titles?
seems like gatekeeping looks rough
I progged HM Act 4 last week. I dont feel like slogging again so I went NM and it was free. Rewards were worse but I kept my time
Keep in mind these numbers are before sidereals, before in raid damage buffs, before kr nerfs https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19r5A56C8USONYF3AHfCZ8TLgrHuzenEuYH9I21OpTQo/edit?gid=1941914294#gid=1941914294
are normal hell altars weighted?
ever since the beginning, I have barely ever seen descent +1 or rocket jump
what happened to all my keys from last paradise season that i didnt use up
bruh they didnt have an expiry date on them so i assumed i could use them later, rip 20+ keys
but hey i just one tapped my weapon i was writing to 1710
they definitely had this on them
nah never saw that before

scammed
thanks a lot, ags
fr
if you're not gonna use your keys tho i'll take em
it was on them actually, just not the little clock icon on the key XD
- ags said multiple times keys will get deleted
tbh i hvnt played in like 2 months
well
hey guys i have a question
is it worth to do KT or shud i go through the story for the combat exp? 😮
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
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...
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
https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/1dfwrgh/south_kurzan_storyline_rewards/ those are the rewards
wow tht is a lot of rewards....
yeah but is it worth your sanity
LOL
ok gotcha...
do i get those rewards every time i run it?
i dont think i wud want to but...
ye
and if i transfer my brel gear to akkan gear do i get + ilvls or do i stay at the same?
if youre 1585, you already have akkan gear
@lone hamlet what's your roster level
ya before i quit maybe 2-3 years ago i got my brel weapon to +20
dont tell them to run countless stories just for roster level
pls
best way to burn out XD
im at 165 rooster!
i mean youre not 1585
but yeah it will give you ilvl
1580 will go to 1585
with akkan gear
ohhhhh
takes 4 weeks to get it full
yep
thats why weve been telling people to not create alts without powerpass
XD
kr is getting this fixed but who knows when we get it
(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
did he mention how many chars he has?
stories at 1585 and up feel pretty fast and also give tons of roster exp, mats, char exp
unless he hates doing story or doesn't have the time to do it I wouldnt recommend skipping
but nobody expect people under ancient accs to have good cp
this is true, im only 1640 on this character
i see 2
yeha i understand its quite a lot of roster exp but he needs to do both stories asap, before next week reset and he might not want to
so ill do my transcendence
okay what should i do
next patch
OH 😮
okie doke ill just run the dailies on this char for a week lol
i have like 3 characters i play actively right now only 2 of them 1580+
the other one is at like 1530 which is my bard
dont forget solo raids :p
are you a mokoko ?
but i will do the story i dont mind spending the time on it and im too poor to afford kt but....
yeye going to doing echidna now and no i have another char 1707
i mean if youre too poor for the kt, obv do it
but you need to do it asap
south kurzan msq unlocks paradise
and you want those juicy mats asap
ooh okok
ok... thanks!!
weird question
i think i talked to someone last time i shudnt hone past over 1585 rite?
but do you have a second screen
XD
yeah dont hone at all
wait for the honing nerfs we get in december
ya i do havs second screen!
tht makes sense thanks
how do i get this thing to lvl 3? i have my other char tht i used the free powerpass on came with lvl 3
kayangel raid
or shud i even be getting it to lvl 3?
so i did the kayangel raid but it didnt level up do i have to talk to some npc?
i have one more question.... so im just a little scared to do guardian raids by myself and i cant seem to find any parties for sonavel is it easier now?
n thts why no one runs as a party?
No one runs it because people arent at that ilvl
What's the achievement that people are requesting for 2-3 Kaz hm lobbies? Is there one for just seeing 2-3 ?
no one can see you die in a guardian raid by yourself, use the time to practice the mechs and it'll be falling over in no time 😄
plus sonavel has the free kit at the start so you're not using your own pots + bombs
yep
Ah I see okay ty
should be saving my mord tokens til i can AH my weapon, right? since i dont need ilvl rn?
correct
need my books to go down 🥲
Eh it’s not that bad
then go from there
Yeah the next few weeks are gonna be tough for the older raids
Since everyone’s progging armoche and kaz
Yeah they’re not that bad to learn
mord g3 seems like a pain
Got my mord and Brel done to bad my pc doesn’t like Brel g2 would love to learn it
dunno about hm but g1 bothers me a lot more than g2 in normal
G1 brel? Kinda feels more uuuhhh chaotic ig
yeah i dun like it 😄
i skipped t4 relic accessories on my alts but whenever i try find pt with alts, everyone else seem to have cut some decent relic accessories and end up with higher CP so efficiency wise, def skip but from what i see, most players seem to cut
g2's hardest part is beginning of fight when party doesnt counter prokel but narok is about same difficulty entire raid
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)?
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
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
ohhh its easier thanks..... but tht made my head explode a little bit with all the info 😭
it all makes sense when u look at ur ark passive tree
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
ohhhh okies... tht makes sense
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
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
i'm not sure thats necessarily simplifying 😄
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?
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...
gotcha... ya i dont wana deal with all min maxy stufff so i will stick with 7/7
