[bold geyser]

are you sure you dont already have whatever you're looking for?

check the codex to see what you have and dont have, and where it comes from

[plucky drum]

i do. was hoping i could get orange galewind

i just have green-purple ;-;

[bold geyser]

time to get orange 😄

[plucky drum]

im trying and it wont drop for me ;-;

[bold geyser]

first one took >50 tries

second one took 3

[plucky drum]

[molten grove]

what u mean never drop anymore just kill the guardian raid boss till he drops it

[plucky drum]

my friend in christ. that's what i've been doing. it doesnt drop for me because rng

[bold geyser]

be luckier

just gotta keep at it

[plucky drum]

kek yea

[molten grove]

not gonna make it if ur unlucky in this game of rng systems ontop of rng systems kek

[plucky drum]

bro the other one thats been helly elusive for me is vision

[bold geyser]

you're doing t4 guardians?

[plucky drum]

mmhm

[bold geyser]

doing everything right then 😄

[plucky drum]

but even when i was in T3 i was grinding the shit out of it

[bold geyser]

[plucky drum]

no no not vision. galewind i meant

[bold geyser]

ya i gotcha

[lone hamlet]

hi guys

are unas tasks not repeatable anymore the daily ones at least?

[balmy plank]

Nope. Once the reputation is finished they go away. You get tokens by doing 3 weekly una tasks now

[lone hamlet]

ohhhhh

can i do this on 3 characters or are the unas daily tasks for whole roster?

[balmy plank]

To be perfectly honest idk. I was done them all long before the change was made.
I would assume itll only let you progress in the reputation once per day like it used to

[lone hamlet]

gotcha....

thanks though, i guess i will have to test it out

[tender flicker]

Can only progress once a day

[lone hamlet]

hi guys why cant i harvest this soul? 😮

[bold geyser]

its just a corpse 😨

[limpid aurora]

you don't hgarvest souls anymore

for like a year now

[lone hamlet]

ohhhh....

okies... thanks!!

[tender flicker]

that orb is just part of the character model for sonavel specifically

[knotty otter]

proccede the disconeciont in game

[rose jewel]

wait 10 mins and try again

thats normal

the game is slow on realizing you got dced, if you try to log in again very fast it thinks youre still in and someone else is accessing

so you just wait

[wide dune]

I keep getting periodic eac offline then I am redirected to server select screen is the game that cooked ?

[void chasm]

i get that too, randomly just dc

[rose jewel]

thats ags servers being shit like always

you can go and complain on the official discord if anything

[torpid elbow]

i think i will cut at ancient*, im a f2p player for the most part so i want to keep my gold for more importnt thing for sure teresa

[tight nexus]

ouuff, i was hoping to buy some blue crystals with bound gold, apparently not at hing

[fallen jasper]

you can't buy this with bound gold

only unbound gold

[indigo marten]

.... i just realized tool durability plummet slowly oh god

is there other way to get tool resto kit other than crafting it

[dim pulsar]

only crafting

[indigo marten]

guh

[shy stirrup]

is there a way to import gem builds or do i need to do it manually?

[dim pulsar]

nope, u have to do it urself

[indigo marten]

is rolling master kit axe for logging even worthed

33k seems really steep for gachaing for 1 more substat

[dim pulsar]

nah, decent lege u can craft within 3k gold

relic is worth only if u get it urself and HOPE for good rolls

[marsh grove]

can take a lot of rolls to get a good relic

not really worth unless you're planning on lifeskilling long term and buying maris pots often

but even then if you get bad craft rng again and again you're kind of fked

[dim pulsar]

aaaaand u need more crafting kits to repair it later

[marsh grove]

master kit prices are up now too

they were like 20-25k for awhile

last night the cheapest one was 50k

spam crafting legendary is definitely the play for the majority of people ye

[primal herald]

poison and bleed are exactly the same right?

[dim pulsar]

nope

u can use both in ur build tho

[ancient abyss]

What is destiny stone chest ?

[limpid aurora]

karma free taps

[ancient abyss]

ohhh

[smoky sun]

poison and bleed stacks

2x bleed doesn't

2x poison doesn't

[primal herald]

ye ye i was using both always but i had to remove one for purify now

just making sure the other one can be either one

kazeros 2-2 and 2-3 are alot harder than 2-1 right?

even when comparing 2-1 hm to 2-1 nm

[lavish mortar]

Imo theyre harder because you get so much less practice

[steel wadi]

Is there a list of which side buffs can stack together ?
For example if a mana food can be used with feast food and / or peyto wine

[primal herald]

i think its just

1 feast

and 1 food buff

food buff is only the atk speed wine/move speed wine/masterwork (mana) food

1 of the three + 1 feast

thats it

[lavish mortar]

1 inventory food
1 sh feast

[steel wadi]

Ok that makes sense .. so in my case I have an azena blessing (stats + mana regen)
If I understood you correctly I should lose that if I take a wine, right ?

[lavish mortar]

Yep

[primal herald]

whats this achievement

that i keep seeing lobbys about

i cant find one with that name

unless it means relic selector is the reward (of an ark grid core maybe)

[limpid aurora]

100% ident mech

[primal herald]

omg

its an relic engraving selector?

this one?

[shadow pasture]

ye

[primal herald]

thats really nice

ill be at 9/10 on my adrenaline if i get this 😭

[primal herald]

whats the diff between sacred charm and sacred bomb?

the same just that charm is around u and bomb is targeted area?

[vast oriole]

yes

[livid fossil]

And the price

lol

[vast oriole]

not that big of a difference

[livid fossil]

I thought maybe it went up

[humble trellis]

Is there a heart emote that works as macro text, all of the ones I've tried auto change to a different symbol

[vast oriole]

this one ?

[humble trellis]

No, like a "written" emote like this ♡

[vast oriole]

yeah no, doesnt exist

can maybe try ♥ but i dont think it works

[humble trellis]

Sadly doesn't work either, thank you though

[steel wadi]

Can someone list me the attack speed sources for supports if they have any excluding the evolution tree ? Partically for Paladin and Valkyrie

[vast oriole]

they arent in their class guides?

i would ask in the respective class channel, i dont play those classes

[limpid aurora]

just like every other support, you have it in 1 of the atk buffs

[vast oriole]

yes and no

artist dont use that tripod

XD

[limpid aurora]

yeah most others also don't xdd

[vast oriole]

do they have it baked in the skill

like ht for bard?

she has attk speed + some more in tripod

i know that artist has atk speed in the ark passive

no idea for the rest

[limpid aurora]

pala is also tripod

[vast oriole]

ok

[limpid aurora]

but not really used as meter gain is better

[void chasm]

is it any tierlist of dps classes?

[vast oriole]

yes

but its dogshit

since balance can change all the time

[void chasm]

ah ok

[vast oriole]

dont metachase and youll have fun in the game

[void chasm]

is it any classes that is just straight up bad ?

that i shouldnt touch

i just see alot of those fighter classes

[vast oriole]

pistoleer deadeye is kinda bad

[void chasm]

ok

ty

[vast oriole]

but like you can pump on any class if youre good enough

oh i guess dps artist and dps paladin are giga bad also

the 2 specs of gunlancer got reworked in kr

so cant say about it

rest are fine

[balmy plank]

This is the closest thing youll get to a tier list. Its community polled but like Arna said balance patches happen often. We dont have KRs latest balance patch
https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/tierlists

[vast oriole]

we usually recommend some classes on the difficulty tho and what do you like usually

[void chasm]

im playing souleater right now

but i made this umbrella class

[vast oriole]

its good

[void chasm]

kinda cool too

[vast oriole]

aeromancer is not top dps

but its decent damage

[steel wadi]

Sorry for delayed answer, pretty sure they are - will look them up for these classes 👍
Thanks for your answers!

[vast oriole]

no worries ^^

[faint cedar]

Decent easy damage

Which can end up being more damage if you lack hands

[vast oriole]

yeah xD

drizzle is so easy

`love it

if i would play dps, i would def play that class

[livid fossil]

drizzle dps inc next power pass arna confirmed

[faint cedar]

Even wind fury isn’t bad

Just more buttons

These new bosses really make you appreciate hit master classes

[livid fossil]

i have hard time popping the red bubble in guardian raid with drizzle

[faint cedar]

Good thing there’s 4 people

[livid fossil]

was ther cause i got zapped lol not asure there was 4 people by it lol

[fervent mauve]

is exit lag bannable in loa

[vast oriole]

nop

[vast oriole]

too hard for me, im dumb

[livid fossil]

But but

Easy

Come on arna

[faint cedar]

its just builder spender

[vast oriole]

i already have 3 drizzle

[vast oriole]

yeah i dont like it

need to think what to use

xDDDD

[faint cedar]

i put all my builders on low bar and spender on top bar

s w d e f r

lmfao

lowkey when you get x it gets a little funky

i hate z and x positioning on keyboard

[plucky drum]

pardon for asking again, coz i got a goldfish brain. this one is part of the 12/7 update right?

plus where did you read/watch the stuff about the big update?

[balmy plank]

Ignore the Sidereal weapon stuff. You get the item/quest start for clearing Brel G4 legion raid

Its a mega whale wep that can cost 40k USD if youre paying for it

[plucky drum]

HAIL NO.

[balmy plank]

Exactly

[shadow pasture]

you can drop 40k if you wanna fund our servers

[plucky drum]

[shadow pasture]

[plucky drum]

lmao...with that monies i'll be debt free coz thats more than to cover the credit balance i have

maybe use it as a downpayment for a new house somewhere so we can gtfo florida

[balmy plank]

If youre looking for update info patch notes are posted on tuesdays before maintenance. Rn we have limited info for what we get in December. Loa-On is on the 7th which will announce all the new stuff coming to the game. & if youre looking for info on t3 changes this link has everything we know of
https://lostark.game.onstove.com/News/Notice/Views/13286

[plucky drum]

who will pay 40k for a fkn pixel

[balmy plank]

A handful of people

[vast oriole]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/team-update-progression-events also this

[plucky drum]

trust fund babies?

[balmy plank]

Here is someone

[plucky drum]

def trust fund baby

thanks for sharing the links guys

[plucky drum]

i don't get the obsession on pixel power

but hey to each their own

[vast oriole]

they like the game and have the money for it

why not

[plucky drum]

i guess

im just perma salty coz im poor

xD

[vast oriole]

im poor too but idc

[balmy plank]

The average person will buy a skin. The rich person will buy a side wep

[plucky drum]

i like the game too but damn not that much ya know

[shy stirrup]

is it stupid to try and get from t3 to t4 right now?

I've done every quest I can find on the whole map but im only 1250 so its all locked now 🙁

waiting 2 weeks for the event will mean finding another game to play I guess

[vast oriole]

is it stupid to try and get from t3 to t4 right now?

yes

very stupid

[shy stirrup]

okay 🙁

[vast oriole]

1580 to 1620 is average 200k gold

after the patch, its only silvers and mats

why would you do that

[shy stirrup]

im not sure what other content there is for me at 1250

[vast oriole]

nothing

i mean if you want you can hone more

till 1580

it still doesnt cost gold

but the fusion mats crafting does

so idk

[shy stirrup]

would making alts be useful or anything?

[vast oriole]

nop

on that 1250 char you can always just get to punika

get the t3 gear

and do chaos on them

just to get some silvers

but not much more than that

you dont have a 1585 char?

[shy stirrup]

im 1250 already this is my highest char

think i played on release but not for too long

[vast oriole]

theres a free powerpass that you can use normally

to get it to 1585

but yeah like i said, you can do punika, do chaos on it and get the gear

• start stacking up shards

[shy stirrup]

yeah not sure if I messed up the pass somehow but I only have this one, and my mail and storage are empty

[vast oriole]

product inventory ?

[shy stirrup]

where is that one?

[shy stirrup]

empty

[vast oriole]

are you trusted?

is this thing green

[shy stirrup]

yeah its green

[vast oriole]

hm

are you sure you didnt use it anywhere?

on another server, region?

[shy stirrup]

I think it got deleted when I deleted a character maybe

[vast oriole]

no this is per roster

it wasnt in mail like before

or maybe you took it in one inventory and deleted that char?

[shy stirrup]

yeah maybe

[vast oriole]

well... XD

[bold geyser]

did they redistribute the ones that they accidentally destroyed?

[vast oriole]

can always try to ask the support

to restore the char

or restore the ticket

[shy stirrup]

yeah ill try that

[vast oriole]

[shy stirrup]

legend thanks I was just looking ingame for a Help or something 😄

[static vapor]

do you not get title for clearing hm act 4 this week?

[vast oriole]

you do

check your inventory

[static vapor]

ahhhh

lol

[vast oriole]

XD

[static vapor]

thx
i was so confused

[vast oriole]

no problem

[shy stirrup]

do you happen to know the name of the powerpass item for 1585? or it'll be fine if I just write powerpass maybe

[vast oriole]

south kurzan powerpass

[bold geyser]

they don't seem to have fixed the one that expired?

[vast oriole]

no idea

[bold geyser]

no idea

[tight nexus]

so I got logging to 30 finally, was thinking of upping relics for those tool boxes, any good place to go? highest place I have is southkurzan

[vast oriole]

either kurzan or rimeria

i personally prefer kurzan

[shy stirrup]

am I doing this wrong? Punika chaos dungeon

[bold geyser]

unless you have aura pots you can only do one a day

[shy stirrup]

ah must've done one earlier or last night thanks!

[vast oriole]

its once per day so not last night xD

[cloud notch]

looks like you already have the punika gear?

you should be doing the highest level chaos dungeon you can do

[shy stirrup]

at 1250 that is the highest one I can queue

[vast oriole]

just created a new steam account and powerpass is there

so he def deleted it

[bold geyser]

scammed i can't pp anyone 🥲

[vast oriole]

no trusted obv

[shy stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/i-think-im-stupid-xiao-xiaorishu-i-think-im-dumb-i-think-im-an-idiot-gif-27396424

[plucky drum]

who scammed your pp 0-0

stop swiping on tinder

[bold geyser]

used the one i had, it expired after they said they were going to extend the expiration on it, so now i cri

[cloud notch]

in that case you should hone till 1580

also you might have claimed the powerpass already in that case you have to check in char select

[vast oriole]

they dont have it

[cloud notch]

I hope I scrolled back far enough

[vast oriole]

they checked it earlier

[cloud notch]

unlucky

[vast oriole]

so i would guess they claimed it

and deleted the character

or something

[shy stirrup]

arna said that would be a stupid waste with the catchup coming

[vast oriole]

no

[shy stirrup]

hopefully support will restore my pass

[vast oriole]

i said its a waste to hone after 1580

[shy stirrup]

ohh

[vast oriole]

anyway you cant go 1580 in 2 weeks

youre timegated by the gear crafting

[bold geyser]

also a waste to hone a character just to turn around and powerpass them

[vast oriole]

so youre fucked either way

[cloud notch]

getting 1430 at least would be good so you can do the first 2 solo modes

[vast oriole]

well for sure

[shy stirrup]

whats the gate on it? I might have the mats from years ago

[vast oriole]

but do they have bound gold to craft the orehas? prob not

[vast oriole]

valtan, vykas, brelshaza

[cloud notch]

iirc it's a 2 week time gate so if you do it now + wednesday you should be good to get 1520+ by the end of the week

[tight nexus]

i got my powerpass restored jsut today, but I asked support like 1.5 weeks ago, it's gonna take some time

[vast oriole]

1415 1430 and 1490 ilvl

[bold geyser]

you had already used it?

[cloud notch]

also akkan is another timegate to go past 1580

[tight nexus]

it's more than 2 weeks, brel gear is 3 weeks, and if you want 1585, that's like 5 weeks of akkan

[vast oriole]

its just better to either get pass restored or wait 2 weeks

[tight nexus]

nah, i did not use it at all because they said they would extend it

[vast oriole]

i dont think its worth to do it manually since they dont have gold to craft the fusion mats

[tight nexus]

but it dissapeared

[shy stirrup]

appreciate the help guys, ill hope for a restore or just wait

[tight nexus]

with the current systema, it's insane the amount of orehas you need

[vast oriole]

also they are removing the honing and the gear that you need from raids

[tight nexus]

without the ark pass and the logins i would've nvever gotten my sf to 1580

[vast oriole]

when you finish the msq, it gives you the gear

[tight nexus]

was wodnering about hte paid ark pass if it's worth ait but i think there's no point if i'm casual btw, right?

[bold geyser]

i consumed it, i had the option to powerpass on my char screen, then it went away when the expiration date passed

[vast oriole]

its your money, your choice

[cloud notch]

nop

[tight nexus]

i ahd the exact same thing, got it restored today

[bold geyser]

ah, gotcha

[cloud notch]

5 weeks? with buying from solo mode store and buying chests?

[tight nexus]

yes

i'm on week 3 done and still have gloves and weapon to craft, weapon is 75 eyes, no way i'm getting 75 eyes+ next week

[vast oriole]

I think akkan is 4 weeks no,m

[tight nexus]

44 from drops, 20 from solo shop, will still need 1 extra week

[vast oriole]

Maybe not

I thought it was 4 for some reason

[tight nexus]

idk if i missed something one of the weeks, pretty sure i was doing everything

[tight nexus]

see, i think that's the problem, i somehow get 64 not 66

[cloud notch]

66 is probably when doing hm but gl finding a group for that I'm dumb

[tight nexus]

only doing solo mode :p

[vast oriole]

Bmm

Even if its 64 per week, still takes 4

Idk why i wrote 66 in chatgpt instead of 64 xDD

[cloud notch]

prety sure it's 3,3,5 so with chest it's 22/week + 20 from solo store?

[tight nexus]

then i must've screwed up something

[vast oriole]

Its 44

No?

With arcturus touch

Its 11 + chest

So 22

X2 for arcturus touch

So 44

[bold geyser]

11 total, so 44 per week + 20

[cloud notch]

ahh right

[vocal dagger]

if im looking for the cube blood claw should i be running x3 tix?

[rancid fox]

on my fifth alt i goot 3 hell keys ( blue ones). first one i used i got 2 transmute options. one became a green and one became a blue nightmare key.

sadly i died in the nightmare on floor 4. due to some frost monster.

anyone know the reward upgrade from normal key to nightmare?

it was a 5 attempts. i died on floor 28 on attemp 4 :/

[tight nexus]

i'm confused, where do I get treasure maps from? i wrote it in codex and nothing found, is it a drop chance from excavation?

[dim pulsar]

if u die in Frost/Fire Keys (these that u transmuted), we mostly just QUIT after First Death (cuz rewards are like floor50 in normal hell while ur at floors 1-10 frost/fire)

[cloud egret]

is there any worth in taking the astrogem random chest at lvl 6?

[dim pulsar]

lvl6 is Rare-Epic

1700 its 3

1730

[stuck venture]

i need help

im at the very beginning of the game

[dim pulsar]

[stuck venture]

this thing

it wants me to summon a mount but then it doesnt allow me

at that mount is in my favourite

[rose wren]

show mount list

[stuck venture]

oh

i made it

im sucha a pro

ty bro

[vast oriole]

No
Bloodclaw is from lucky rooms and you have less chance to get lucky rooms if you do x3

[indigo marten]

it could be 100 floor

[drowsy sluice]

Well, I'm here to torture myself again

[bold geyser]

That's why I only altar blue keys I've never gotten past the 3rd jump

[wise juniper]

Am I tripping or did they actually NOT extend this event? My character that had the old express event on seems to not have it anymore?

[rose wren]

0 mention about express event

[wise juniper]

Is it literally just the powerpass that takes you to 1580 and nothing else?

[rose wren]

yep

[wise juniper]

Lol...

[steel wadi]

Is it possible to "unlock" Ark Grid for pre 1700 characters at Trixion ?

[dim pulsar]

u cant unlock grid below 1700

u need to register core, so its act4 normal g1

[steel wadi]

In general yes, but perhaps I might have overseen something when the place is in a training hall - usually in games all kinds of systems are unlocked there

[dim pulsar]

nah, not here

[steel wadi]

f0k

[dim pulsar]

cuz its tied to ur IlVL

[steel wadi]

Ok, yea that´s sadge

[foggy venture]

https://uwuowo.mathi.moe/character/NA/Freeßonks

what can i do to stop getting gatekept at Brel NM

[balmy plank]

Get to 1680 and get ancient accessories

Tier 4 stone. T4 bracelet

[vast oriole]

Sometimes people gatekeep because you dont have ancient weapon

For some reason

[drowsy sluice]

Whats the next ilvl breakpoint after getting a full Brel set?

[bold geyser]

up to +19, 1580

Guys did they say anything about when they plan to release the next express? Its in december, but any timeframe? Like, 3rd, 10th or 17th (when current events end)

[bold geyser]

wont know til LOA ON, current guess is the 17th

[sonic holly]

When is LOA ON btw?

[vast oriole]

all events finishes on dec 17, so its a guess by most people

[vast oriole]

dec 7

[vast oriole]

we wouldnt know with loa on anyway, its a kr event

[bold geyser]

but they love us 🥹

[vast oriole]

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[lucid axle]

do learning parties dont exist anymore

[shadow pasture]

For which raid

[lucid axle]

act 4

[shadow pasture]

It is pretty late

[lucid axle]

welp

guessing im missing out on titles again

[astral temple]

best bet is to make a lobby yourself and hope people see it

[shadow pasture]

Titles aren’t gonna matter much anyways months after

You will be fine with week 3-4 title

[astral temple]

im going to have 0 title cuz im not hm ilvl yet

[lucid axle]

all HM lobbies look to be reclear or NM reclear HM prog

[shadow pasture]

Oh have you not done nm?

[lucid axle]

nope

been a bit busy these past week so havent really had the time until now lol

[rose jewel]

we did a clear 1 rtc2 ytd and it filled after like 10 mins or less

[bold geyser]

what's with accs showing recently sold for like 3% of the normal cost?

[astral temple]

yea just try making a lobby

[rose jewel]

i bet some people are still on the look for learning due to having lower cp

[astral temple]

that and people were prob busy cuz of thanksgiving

[vast oriole]

def try now or next week

with frontier, the dps check will go lower

more people will try it

[lucid axle]

wait does rtc mean ready to clear or raid till clear

i never really understood it lol

[astral temple]

ready to clear i believe

usually if its raiding till a clear, itll say somethign like, 500x to clear

[rose jewel]

rtc means you've seen all major mechs and are kind of comf for the normal patterns

500x is just 500x, not a rtc

[astral temple]

yea

[lucid axle]

welp

ig ill just NM this week and try out HM next

[astral temple]

nm is really easy

[rose jewel]

you aint learning shit on nm

for the most part

but a clear is a clear

[lucid axle]

i just got denied from NM fresh prog party wtf

[rose jewel]

at least you can experience the major mechs

[astral temple]

yea important part is the cores

[lucid axle]

ok wtf

this 1708 got accepted but i get denied wtf

[astral temple]

couldve just accepted then saw you afterwards

or is a friend

[lucid axle]

i applied when there was 2 ppl in it lol

but yeah maybe friend

or pilots in disguise

[shadow pasture]

Could be 100s of reasons

[lucid axle]

dont have fulls 8s on gems so maybe that '

[rose jewel]

let it go

open one or look for another

[livid fossil]

Just ask sig

[astral temple]

sides are really easy for act 4 if youre worried about that

[bold geyser]

alright got my 5 accs now what =X

[astral temple]

give your gold and gems to charity

[rose jewel]

nine on shield is kinda annoying if anything but

[bold geyser]

GT?

[rose jewel]

?

[astral temple]

nineveh on echidna shield

[rose jewel]

dragon ball gt?

[bold geyser]

wot

oh

[astral temple]

not guardian tune

[rose jewel]

nine - veh

look im sleep deprived and im lazy to type full sentences

[bold geyser]

you're fine

[astral temple]

speaking of which, i suck at dodging for that mech, i just tank all the charms LMFAO

o7 to that one dont get charmed achivement

[bold geyser]

just tryna fix my shit in between watching hm vids

[rose jewel]

i look for single cross jumps coz holy fk all my mates grab all the jumps

[bold geyser]

should i bother with HA for prog groups or nah

[rose jewel]

hyper?

[shadow pasture]

HA

[bold geyser]

heavy armor

[shadow pasture]

Oh

[bold geyser]

game repeats too many initialisms

[astral temple]

are you on support?

[rose jewel]

for dps or sup

[bold geyser]

for bard

[rose jewel]

yes

bitch hits like an isekai truck

[bold geyser]

which bitch

[astral temple]

all of them

🙂‍↕️

[rose jewel]

all of them

[bold geyser]

[astral temple]

but yeah def go heavy armor cuz a dead support means a dead party

while a dead dps just means less stagger and dmg i guess

[bold geyser]

and drop max mp?

[rose jewel]

why would you

[minor igloo]

drop expert

[bold geyser]

cuase they dont give 6 slots

[rose jewel]

what do you have on even

[minor igloo]

prob awakening, heavy/expert, drops, magic stream, max mp

yop

[rose jewel]

drop expert

[astral temple]

do you actually need both max mp and magick stream on bard now?

[bold geyser]

[rose jewel]

if youre a pro gaymer probably

[minor igloo]

if you dont want to eat food, yes

[vast oriole]

depends

just get a pet summoner

XD

[minor igloo]

if you dont eat food and for some reason take mp furnace, then definitely

[vast oriole]

but yeah on prog you def need it

[astral temple]

ok that makes sense

[vast oriole]

i personally progged without ha on artist

[lucid axle]

is there somewhere i can check for when i should use them?

[vast oriole]

but its diff from bard

[bold geyser]

no worries

[minor igloo]

memo and seo-nee's vids mention sides

[astral temple]

memos guide near the end of each gate section has a side usage timings

[bold geyser]

just wonderin

[vast oriole]

just get azena blessing

[astral temple]

lostark.nexus cheatsheet also has them

[bold geyser]

ill give that a try then, still working on fixing up anything i can 🙂

[whole cradle]

can someone explain this tripod on Vestige to me plz

[astral temple]

is that what it says to use on the community guide?

[shadow pasture]

I don’t think you even use that skill on vestige

[astral temple]

cuz it might be pvp only tripod

[minor igloo]

i suggest testing it in trixion vs the other tripod

i dont think it's a common tripod that people run in the first place

[astral temple]

this is community guide

i think its pvp only

[whole cradle]

when i hover over it and press CTRL it changes the damage from 60 to 30 in pvp

so maybe its like if you get hit, it does more damage

[astral temple]

then ytea try it out in trixion

im guessing tho that its like that cuz theres some zones where you can fight other players that are still tech pve zones

not sure where tho, im not a pvp expert

[whole cradle]

ur right

[vast oriole]

only rowen and that zone is dead

[astral temple]

[bold geyser]

picked up some journal near sevek atun, but it expired by the time i left the area, so i tossed it, now i can't loot it again

is there just a respawn on it or have i broken it irreparably

oh i need the debuff from fighting him nevermind

[astral temple]

[midnight nimbus]

is Lingering Red Scent the questline for act 4 etc?

[vast oriole]

isnt that one for echidna

or something

act 4 is trajectory destiny or something

[astral temple]

yea that sounds right

[bold geyser]

thought that was post-aegir

[astral temple]

erm wait no

thats post echidna 1st version

i think

idk

[plucky drum]

guys is there a way to exchange this?

[vast oriole]

no

[candid lake]

o btw does anyone know how some people can tell which shield it is early on during x420 in armoche g1?

or do they just observe the bounces and see which one wasn't glowed yet?

[astral temple]

idk if its the same on hm but i swear one of them is bigger

[plucky drum]

[astral temple]

on nm

[plucky drum]

so im basically stuck with it

.>

[astral temple]

you can always throw it away

[plucky drum]

lucky im a hoarder

[astral temple]

me 2

[plucky drum]

i was hoping theres a way to convert it to T4

that be pog

[vast oriole]

you can t3 to t4

[bold geyser]

if you converted T2 to T4 by the time you get there it'd be like

[vast oriole]

you cant t2 to t3

[bold geyser]

15 destruction stones

[vast oriole]

sicne it was hard reset

t3 to t4 was a soft reset

[plucky drum]

[vast oriole]

and yeah that also

[plucky drum]

yeah i must have converted all my T3 to T4

[rose jewel]

yeah it would be...

well, not even 15 lmao

save them for an alt (why would someone level an alt manually amiright) or attempt to sell then for whatever amount they are rn on the market (1g 99% sure)

[astral temple]

it says bound to character

[vast oriole]

they change the leveling, you dont need to hone anymore iirc XD

[rose jewel]

again, sleep deprived

[bold geyser]

i was close

[rose jewel]

and yeah that was the point, assuming we get the armors outright leveled

[minor igloo]

ackshually, you still do until the update drops

[vast oriole]

ok stfu

[rose jewel]

washed up cat

[astral temple]

[minor igloo]

[vast oriole]

everyone knew what i meant

🖕

[minor igloo]

except new players who still wonder what to do with their t2 mats tho

[vast oriole]

it was to signum

but ok

[plucky drum]

i dont think i have the mental capacity to make an alt toon

my 40 year old brain could never

[vast oriole]

haha boomer

[plucky drum]

bish what im a millennial

rude

[vast oriole]

boomer

[plucky drum]

[indigo marten]

wait what is 1690 to 1700 honing again
normal one?

[rose jewel]

toxic ass mod

[minor igloo]

you say that until you're done with your char for the week in less than a day of game time

[indigo marten]

ok fossil

[minor igloo]

[vast oriole]

?advhoning

[buoyant dock]

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.

[indigo marten]

ty

[plucky drum]

[warped bloom]

what exactly is happening when you fuse 3 alrdy processed astrogems? like is it taking the highest chaos point of the 3?

or just like randomly choosing 1

[minor igloo]

it's basically generating a new precut astrogem with the same quality

follows similar rules to fusing unprocessed gems

[bold geyser]

dislike that it doesn't show ilvls

[lavish mortar]

you're praying to RNGesus for the 1% relic roll basically

[vast oriole]

can just check on maxroll

[bold geyser]

sec

For a fresh 1640 T4 char:

• Hone to +14 (1660)
• Advanced Hone to +10 (1670)
• Hone to +16 (1680)
• Advanced Hone to +20 (1690)
• Hone to +18 (1700)
• Advanced Hone to +30 (1710)
• Honing to +20 // Advanced Honing to +40 cost about the same, though AH gives 3% bonus stats, do in whichever order you like

If you choose to advanced hone in T3 because you have the mats, follow the guide just the same but skip over any advanced honing breakpoints you've already passed

[vast oriole]

Yeah no because last road event had boost and books so people were normal honing without advanced

• paradise free taps

Adding ilvl can confuse even more people

[bold geyser]

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[candid lake]

i also personally prefer to adv hone to 30 after 1690 if im not in a rush to hm mordum

because of free taps

but then again u can still follow it and pray to free tap to +19

[bold geyser]

only have a few +19s i'm probs gonna save all my free taps for my weapon once it hits +20

[astral temple]

arent they also making advanced honing 1-20 cheaper soonish, so the order will change?

[balmy plank]

No

[astral temple]

i thought they said it in the last kr direct and ags made an announcmenet about it

[balmy plank]

Nope

This is everything covered my SG https://lostark.game.onstove.com/News/Notice/Views/13286

Right now there is zero expectation of nerfs to adv honing

[indigo marten]

is there news update of ags contract yet

[balmy plank]

Removing gear sets & honing until 1580. Elixirs & trans moved into ark passive

[balmy plank]

no

[indigo marten]

silver honing confirmed yet?

[astral temple]

can this website work pls

[indigo marten]

working as intended

[balmy plank]

For tier 3 from 1580-1620. I literally just linked everything we know

[balmy plank]

Google auto translates

[indigo marten]

well it is korean

oh ye

i forgor

just click tl

[astral temple]

meant moreso formatting

man

why did i think that advance honing 1-20 was getting nerfed

i swear i heard it somewhere

[balmy plank]

It got nerfed a long time ago now

maybe you read old news

[rocky mantle]

are there any easy stages I can beat for mats to level to 1600?

[astral temple]

oh no

it was this reddit tthread

https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/1oqrpyf/livestream_recap_7th_anniversary_of_lost_ark/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

i guyess they got it wrong then

*the og inven article i mean

[indigo marten]

source : i made it up

[tender flicker]

I had 3 characters waiting for AH nerfs

[astral temple]

i had 1

[balmy plank]

Who knows maybe there will indeed be some kind of nerf. Maybe theyll nerf cost or just simple add more scrolls or something

As always its smarter to just wait for the full information

[astral temple]

wait no

the ags article mentions it as well

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/team-update-progression-events

ok i wasnt just crazy

[rocky mantle]

wheres the best place for beginner powerpass users to get gold before 1600?

[gray verge]

Akkan, Kayangel and Brelshaza Solo

tbh Paradise is the best place but it's rng on whether or not you'll get gold

[rocky mantle]

Can i beat akkan at 1597

[gray verge]

yes

check the raid builds on lost ark nexus, follow the guides the raid gives you in solo mode & play it by ear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAYlIfNrJRo
Also this guide, some of it has been removed since (the x20 bars for gate 1, the x160/50 football for gate 2, and x160 stagger for gate 3)

[rocky mantle]

so i just select solo mode?

[gray verge]

yes

you're given some extra buffs depending on your class, most mechanics are altered to be doable by a single person (or removed) and everything is scaled down for a single person

[rocky mantle]

idk which mode to select... its both solo mode...

[gray verge]

the blue button toggles it, you'll see the "number of players" on the right-hand side panel

[rocky mantle]

one says reward exchaNGE at the top and one doesn't

yeah I do

I go with the one that says required 1 peerson?

[balmy plank]

There is only 1 difficulty for solo mode. Normal & Hard are both group

[rocky mantle]

ohh ok

so I can't just overpower Akkan without watching the guide for quick gold

[gray verge]

I mean, you can more or less compared to the group version, there's a handful of things to pay attention for

[rocky mantle]

i think i was stupid and been playing group version

on my old pc

[gray verge]

it wouldn't allow you in if it was just you

they did also recently change Akkan solo to be more streamlined

@rocky mantle make sure to grab your T skill and Hyper Awakening from Beatrice (purple '!' in any city then to trixion to turn it in)

[rocky mantle]

this part is a bit hard for me to understsand at this time..

[rocky mantle]

akkan... from what i see in the guide.. seems very hard to kill

[gray verge]

There's a quest at Elnead you will have unlocked at 1580, the purple '!' at the bottom left of the map, you get 2 new skills that will make completing the raid a lot easier

[balmy plank]

You unlock your Hyper Awakening and T skill at 1540, level 55 now

& all raids look hard at first when you havent tried

[vague swift]

Is there a spreadsheet available that has the best card sets for each raid up to kazeros?

or like what dmg type

[bold geyser]

http://lostark.nexus/weakness

[balmy plank]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSWomwEyQkLe53mTsULQLDWyY5vjDa5PJFeRNSQaWRrynPG50bKvO8EFACQUo-2aUU1ilJyjSu4P4Ea/pubhtml

[gray verge]

And in the rare case someone needs it, Brelshaza Legion is Earth / Lightning / Nothing / Holy

[vague swift]

ty

[bold geyser]

thats on there, tucked away 😄

[gray verge]

oof

[rocky mantle]

Do these not come with the powerpass? something I need to set up separately?

also can I do anything lower than Akkan for gold

[gray verge]

They don't come with the powerpass as Korea doesn't have Paradise before Tier 4.
So our version and China have to unlock it separately

[gray verge]

Kayangel and Brelshaza Legion Raid
Brelshaza Gate 1 is a good tutorial for counters, Gate 2 will teach you both stagger/medusa patterns and Gate 3 will teach you positioning.

[bold geyser]

completely unrelated: when somebody says "C1" on brel g1, are they throwing first then the other throws second? or is that like first phase vs second phase?

[gray verge]

first option, since you want it up most of the fight

[bold geyser]

rgr

[gray verge]

whenever there's a "destruction" indicator you want him grenaded

[rocky mantle]

what are these gates? are they all different bosses?

[gray verge]

Yes

Raids are split into their boss fights by gates.
They are also checkpoints, so if you finish 1 etc. you can return and start at 2

[minor igloo]

Not quite. Most only care about the first layer of armour destruction which is where you throw corro.

And it's more or less destructible within 1 bomb duration.

In faster lobbies, you'd probably only use 1 corro across the raid as jederico breaks everything else.

In giga despair always cold lobbies, you'd probably need another one before x60

[gray verge]

You'd be surprised how many pug runs are despair ones

at least in terms of destruction

[minor igloo]

I mean, goblins holding spells will always be a thing

So if you need to cycle more than 3 corro, it's a find another lobby angle

[fallen jasper]

can you buy adventure maps for sea bounties from other strongholds if you don't have the stronghold requirement yourself?

[balmy plank]

No

If you do Arkesia Tour it gives you all the quests to unlock every SH merchant so you should have them all very easily

[candid lake]

does it work for runes?

i forget if it did

someone came to my stronghold and bought something from my merchant but I forget what it was

[balmy plank]

I haven't interacted with the system in 2 years so the details elude me

[candid lake]

o fair

also

yeah i think ive decided to skip kaz hm g2 forever

and go hm g1 and nm g2

[balmy plank]

That was the norm in KR too

I'm opting to not do kaz HM at all

[candid lake]

armoche tho is lit af

lemme move to #lost-ark-discussions so i dont clutter the ch

[fallen jasper]

it does work for runes which is why i was wondering if it was the same for adventure maps

[rocky mantle]

Is there a separate key to counter the boss at Gate 1 of Brelshaza ?

cus I keep trying to counter with my skills and it doesnt work

[candid lake]

are you pressing it when his hammer is all the way up?

the counter window is a little small and punishing if u do it late

[rocky mantle]

think so...

does it have to be right infront of his hammer?

[candid lake]

ye

[heavy briar]

guys does anyone know how to get the relic selector achievment in nm kaz?
like how do we even build his meter enough without the triple g-patter

[minor igloo]

Just don't interact with him and let his identity meter fill

You'll have to do his 50% triple guard mech first

And then basically do nothing until the boss hits 100% identity

[bold geyser]

definitely recommend turning on boss directionals to help with that sort of thing

(if they aren't already)

did you get the boss sorted?

[rocky mantle]

no

im so annoyed at how these mobs just wont let me go infront of the boss

[bold geyser]

do you have your sidereal up at that point?

the heroes in the upper left

[rocky mantle]

the buffs?

[bold geyser]

this

[rocky mantle]

yes

I presed Ctrl X

and for some reason Control z came out

[bold geyser]

tragic 😄

[rocky mantle]

i think im getting the counter wrong

[bold geyser]

x will kill the spawners on the sides though, which should make that easier for you

rather than going out and having to kill them yourself, or dealing wiht the mobs

[tight nexus]

you need to always look for the hammer guy that turns after every counter and as Soc said, use middle sidere1l to have no mobs at all

[bold geyser]

has to be the hammer guy, not the bow guy

and they'll turn a seemingly random number of times before they actually do the counter, so dont get baited

also be sure you're using the right skill to counter 😄

[rocky mantle]

wait

i thought any of my skills work as counter

[bold geyser]

1 or 2, depending on your build

depends on your class i dont know if any classes have significantly more than that

[tight nexus]

nope, you yave only 1 or 2 skills that can counter it is written in description where it says Counter: Yes

[bold geyser]

but no figure out which one is the right one (or two) and make sure to save those for the counter

[rocky mantle]

lmao

no fukin wonder

[bold geyser]

if you succeed it will reset automatically, if you miss you may get dunked but should survive to try again

check the tooltips for your skill, should say, "Counter: Yes" IIRC

what class?

[rocky mantle]

killed it right away knowing my counter skills

im playing breaker 🙂

[bold geyser]

grats 😄

i love brel that whole raid is cool

[rocky mantle]

its my first time since akkan to hard for me..

[bold geyser]

if you haven't done brel it makes sense to do that first, regardless of your item level

just to get a feel for mechanics in general 🙂

feel free to go into stuff blind for solo mode, but theres definitely resources out there if you need help

[indigo marten]

akkan is easy... ifu had hyper awakening
which is bugged rn

t skill alot is triple million dmg

and hyper awakening is like 2 bill iirc

g1 is neutered only need to know where to hide for sword pillar . everything else is gone now
g2 is no mech until 0 bar hp. use counter into thirain siderial spam (ctrl z) x 4
g3 is just block laser then stagger repeat til stagger
and make statue beam star or hexagon. if 1 oclock statue laser is horizontal make star and hexagon otherwise
then 15 bar u wei to skip 0 bar mech with special wei
should be easy mechs

iirc there is curse mech but skipable with dpsing him after laser statue

@rocky mantle

[candid lake]

I dont think it does this much in t3

Same with hyper

But it does a shit ton of dmg still

[indigo marten]

it is at least 100 m for me

whrn i did my alt

slayer tbf

[candid lake]

o

[indigo marten]

without t and alt v i wouldnt clear thaemine ngl
dmg too mid

i mean possible but prob sweaty

u skip lot of normal pattern with it

[bold geyser]

hyper still does around a billy at akkan levels

[storm girder]

I’m bored… I’m thinking about returning to Lost Ark-

In the current state of the game, how friendly is it for a retuning player to come in and catch up to get into some end game content?

[limpid aurora]

in like ~3 weeks we get a big patch that will completly revamp the new/returning player experince

[dusky sky]

probably decently friendly in 3 weeks

rn its cooked tho

the previous express for new/returning players ended not too long ago

[bold geyser]

a month ago, pretty decent
right this minute, not super great, there's not a ton of catchup stuff outside of the normal QOL stuff thats been introduced
a month from now, supposed to be great, on top of the new express and powerpass they're supposed to be streamlining the lower level stuff significantly

[minor igloo]

also depends what pushed you away back then

[limpid aurora]

Probably the same as it is now but maybe we will get some nice changes on top after LOA ON

[dusky sky]

maining scouter

[minor igloo]

because while the systems did get some QoL here and there, the core is still the same

[bold geyser]

depends on when you quit

a lot has changed

but yeah the specific mechanics of how you play is broadly the same?

[minor igloo]

other than some QoL and paradise, not much has deviated from back then. considering the number 1 complaints has been stuff being too expensive and gatekeeping being asinine to deal with.

[bold geyser]

get mats get money spend money cry

solo helped a lot with beginner gatekeeping for sure

[dusky sky]

ye I think most players gatekeep roster level somewhat too

sub 150 is really sus

[bold geyser]

expensive is on a treadmill by the time solo catches up to a mechanic it's been cheapened quite significantly

case in point elixirs, trans, multiple times over

[minor igloo]

so, the game is in a better spot for sure, but I doubt it addressed many issues that people quit over

[dusky sky]

[midnight nimbus]

This means I can stop doing Crucible on this character for the rest of the season, right?

[dusky sky]

u didn't even need to clear

[minor igloo]

yeap, just gotta hit it once and get a top100% ranking

[bold geyser]

pretty sure landing a hit is enough

[minor igloo]

then you're bing chilling until the end of the season

[bold geyser]

(i dont know if that is even required but i wouldn't risk it)

[limpid aurora]

just have to log on that char once per week

[midnight nimbus]

And I can just use the blue orb (healing)?

[minor igloo]

yep

[limpid aurora]

If you have it yes

[bold geyser]

i haven't heard an emphatic endorsement for any of the others ones this season far as i know you just stick with blue

[limpid aurora]

yeah well Season 2 Orbs currently suck, cause you don't have the PP for it yet

[bold geyser]

makes sense

maybe we'll get a better feel for it later in the season

[minor igloo]

tfw when scouter or gunlancer where the healing means nothing most of the time

[limpid aurora]

and when it comes to the QoL the healing one gives, it is way to good

[midnight nimbus]

PP?

[bold geyser]

oh i just use the healing for the party on my gl

[limpid aurora]

maybe for the dmg ones I could see the new ... Orange one? be a real good DMG Orb with some power

[bold geyser]

they need all the help they can get the little rascals

[limpid aurora]

Paradise Power

[storm girder]

A year ago I leveled basically to the point of getting your ship and your stronghold or w/e

I enjoy the combat and the game is beautiful- and had it not been for the reputation of it being so notoriously p2w or an ultragrind fest with multiple alts if you didn’t want to spend money and play the endgame content/get past the gatekeeping- I probably would’ve kept on playing and pushed through to endgame- but I never did

That said- I do love raiding in WoW and FF14 so sad that I never ended up getting there in this game

[minor igloo]

they're protected enough with my Nella and BFS

[midnight nimbus]

the orbs scale with paradise power?

[limpid aurora]

Yes

[bold geyser]

except for taht couple weeks last season where they didn't

[minor igloo]

1. you never needed alts. now so more than ever since gearing an alt is expensive, so they never really "pay you back".
2. game is inherently p2w
3. gatekeeping will always exist in some form

[bold geyser]

gatekeeping remains an issue, as you still need to gather a party, still are stuck with those people for the duration of the raid, still depend significantly on people pulling their weight

BUT

they have added solo mode for raids up through aegir, soon brel, which is decently well past the point of the current powerpass boost they give you, so you're smooth sailing for a while yet without needing to worry about that

[indigo marten]

for gatekeeping
i mean even casual raid in wwm has bozo gatekeeping as if it is tfm
blue protocol too
it is just mmo and raid that ties to endgame equal gatekeep

[bold geyser]

by the time you get to the point where you're grouping with other people for anything that isn't behemoth, you're already kinda committing to putting some time and effort into the character and can, with a bit of effort, do just fine

[minor igloo]

indeed. any game with a multiplayer aspect will have some form of gatekeeping so long as a matchmaking is underuntilised

[indigo marten]

ff14 isnt gatekeepy for eg unless u play on launch savage or trying to get to Ultimate clear

[distant tapir]

In kaz g2-1 for nm, does he do fake breaks for the 900 mech?

[storm girder]

Ya gatekeeping was maybe the least of my concerns in terms of accessing the content. I was more concerned about the impossible gear grind, actually.

[minor igloo]

in nm, it's always real fake real

[bold geyser]

its been smoothed out quite a bit

[minor igloo]

it's always relative. different groups look for different things.

[bold geyser]

honing up to the current freebie powerpass costs no gold, and soon it seems like all of T3 wont either

[distant tapir]

got it thx

[minor igloo]

the impossible gear grind is just a goalpost that always gets pushed further and further with each new raid

[dusky sky]

even behemoth gatekeep is crazy atm w/o mokoko leaf

[bold geyser]

they're almnost certainly gonna have a leaf tho
