It’s mats for a whale wepon
high stone
So I can use the pass at 1640 and claim 100k gold, and then swap to another char right?
The event thingy I mean
indigo marten
once in blue moon drop for whale wep
only good if u giga whale tap the wep with many of this
rose wren
So I can use the pass at 1640 and claim 100k gold, and then swap to another char...
cant swap it if the chara is below 1640
high stone
cant swap it if the chara is below 1640
I have a gl at 1640 i can use on him and swap to one my 1680 alts?
bold geyser
how are you going to claim the gold without advancing through the steps?
rose jewel
If I could, but I'm working and I'll be for the next several hours
vast oriole
So I can use the pass at 1640 and claim 100k gold, and then swap to another char...
you need to hone to get more gold
you cant swap express on another char if you hone
idk why tist used check there
high stone
how are you going to claim the gold without advancing through the steps?
I thought you an still swap if you don’t hone?
bold geyser
and i'm saying, how are you going to go from 1640, to 1650, to 1660 without honing?
high stone
Hmm that’s still good one lvl 7 gem for my 1640😃
bold geyser
its not a thing, if you really want the mats on your 1680, use it on your 1680
plain sorrel
high stone
lvl. 7 isnt at 1640
I mean like i will have the 20k gold to buy when I reach 😂
royal plaza
Do we have a way to get at least correct Ancien jewelry with one of their event ?
bold geyser
bound gold shop seems to be the way

Yeah I was hoping a cheaper way existed

is there math of high % low flat from bound shop vs mid %mid%

what other ways can you get skin dyes thats just not the event
bold geyser
would vary a lot with your specific character stats
pin has some broad figures you can compare
viscid frigate
any recommendations to what buy with royal crystals i have 4.5k or any good skin i canbuy to sell for gold
bold geyser
maybe a #gallery-discussion question?
quiet cypress
quick question I cant open these bc the elixir quest is not available anymore
and I cant destroy them aswell so what am I supposed to do
bold geyser
i assume they're going to patch something for it eventually
quiet cypress
so ill keep em for now ig
bold geyser
no choice in the matter i'm afraid 🙂

true but anways thx
charred condor
question. how will i unlock ark grid if I cant get into a group and there is no solo?
vast oriole
you do your own lobby and be patient
charred condor
im afraid i have tried that already a few times no one joins
dim pulsar
u can buy lege selector for 40k
vast oriole
yeah it takes a while
charred condor
u can buy lege selector for 40k
that unlocks the grid?
dim pulsar
yep
charred condor
hmm
charred condor
i bought all of them i was under the impression that only completing the raid allows me to use them
faint cedar
Right click to activate them
dim pulsar
clear
it says "upon using core"
u can buy that core so
u use core, then u can use it here
faint cedar
Probably tried to drag and drop or some
charred condor
yes of course
faint cedar

i was using the green/blue ones thinking it was all the same i didnt really look into it.. I get it now lol

Which one is the fastest and most dynamic between FI Wardancer and Tai Scrapper ? I wanna make a fighter alt but i'm not sure between these two :). I like fluid gameplay like RE DB and 503 NE Soul eater.

How to obtain Sailing Coins
Sailing Coins can be obtained from Adventure Island rewards, Sailing Co-op & 300 can be purchased daily from Merchant Odelia for 900 Adventure Seals in your stronghold market.
vast oriole
then you exchange them for pirate coins
indigo marten
daily stronghold 300 high seals coin
event gives bloodclaw coin which turns to pirate coin weekly ig (the hotspring one)
sailing (it is coop. usually people do proycon but ask your server island chat where they usually do it)
vast oriole
at the ship
indigo marten
for me in thaemine iirc it is all proycon except yorn
or something like that
i only know that cause someone in ingame chat (island chat) told me
vast oriole
for me in thaemine iirc it is all proycon except yorn
what?
ah you eman the coop sailing
meh no need to do that
vast oriole
ye but depending on his server
indigo marten
might as well if u r free
vast oriole
it might be dead
indigo marten
coop sailing
vast oriole
whats your server ?
indigo marten
not island
vast oriole
ok thats not a dead server
doesnt work liek that anymore
you have access to all of them in the market island
indigo marten
that should be stronghold research
vast oriole
one of the first npc
vast oriole
if you did the research for it ofc
indigo marten
@silk rover check wandering meechant on south vern (or north idr)
just hover your map every login
see if u see them sells golden wealth rune
that one is silver cost and easiest wealth to get iirc
vast oriole
legendary rarity
indigo marten
ye legendary
vast oriole
doesnt cost gold
do ctrl d
you can see all runes and where they are from
did you do arkesia tour
ok
1 purple is killing the lagoon island boss
youc an solo it
its 100% droprate iirc
for the second purple, its sea bounties
no
market island
take the teleport
icon on top left
for the island
you can see when it will spawn again in the calendar
dim pulsar
well, it is what it is
dim pulsar
issue with islands that rotate
vast oriole
no its just a random screenshot
do the research that you need
research name was on the merchant
where the rune was
if youd otn ahev the research, you need to do somethign to get it
bold geyser
look at all that cool stuff yet to come 🙂
F4 shop, or amethyst exchange, maybe a handful elsewhere
couple from island souls i think?
can you describe what it was
mokoko seeds
personally like hermidas from the shop
but see what suits you
also auto-boosts 😄

brain lag
uneven surge
i was looking at the kaz achievement for the relic selector. it says survive incantation pattern with nobody dying. is this hardmode only?
tender flicker
Normal works. Its the full meter at the start mech that everyone avoids by doing enough dps. Easiest to get by having everyone but 1 guy die before it starts and having the 1 guy live through it.
vast oriole
make a support live it with heavy armor
uneven surge
oh ok i see. yea its like get him to 900 before a minute and he does it
vast oriole
and its free
uneven surge
ive never seen it
vast oriole
no its if you dont get to 900 in a minute

balmy plank
0.08% is for 100%
bold geyser
right
balmy plank
If youre asking if its 0.08% or 0.0076593%, idk how anyone would know
Its 0.08% as far as anyone is concerned
bold geyser
some of you just know things 😄
bout a 95% chance to hit then WAIT I DID THAT MATH SO WRONG 26% chance
fingers crossed
lavish mortar
is the 0.08% quality chance on a 99 accurate?
Closer to .075
98 quality is .15% to upgrade is my reasoning
bold geyser
worried that may be the case
static jungle
hi im a new player trying to decide which support to pick, can anyone explain to me the differences between paladin and valkyrie?
specially which one has more consistent healing
paper walrus
valk is the only support that doesnt have to pick between healing or giving damage
giving damage is somethign that most if not all players expect
paladin's identity provides both healing and damage at the same time, so the heal isnt as on demand as valk
valk's healing is a lot more burstier, but if dps isnt contantly tanking everything with no shields then valk is better
static jungle
ah i see. i read that supports in general suck at solo content too
is that a thing?
paper walrus
sups on sup build sucks in solo
all sups have a dps build
in general sups on dps build is slightly lower damage than the average dps but its very clearable in solo
solo mode dps check is a joke compared to group
paper walrus
booba
candid lake
all sups have a dps build
honestly bard and artist isnt actually that bad in solo mode
but holy fuck
paladin... made me want to die
his skills don't flow together well..
limpid moth
which one is easier to play? paladin or valk?
paladin
paper walrus
neither class is going to be easy
static jungle
most of the new player content is solo right?
paper walrus
you're learning a new game
just pick whatever
flip a coin
most fo new player content is solo yes
runic bough
Hey folks! Apart from skill & enlightment potions, are there any other horizontal content I need to worry about for character power?
candid lake
technically stat potions like spec/swift/crit etc
im not sure tho if the
arkesia tour gives all of them
balmy plank
You might want some runes too for skills
runic bough
Oh right, good call on the runes, that's something I need to work on
static jungle
are there dps supports in this game?
paper walrus
no
runic bough
technically stat potions like spec/swift/crit etc
Looks like the Ark Tour gives most of them, though I am missing 2 crit and 1 switness potions, I'll get those done at some point, thank you!
As for the str/dex/int pots, those are pretty negligible right? +5 str doesn't seem like anything when one piece of gear gives me like 10k lmao
dim pulsar
u will get them by doing reputations (if u want to even max them) and with roster lvl
runic bough
Sorry, what do you mean by "keep"? I just throw all of them into my codex
runic bough
Cool, thanks! I'll not worry about main stat pots for now, and just naturally grab them over time. Still have a long way to go with my roster, I'm only at level 102
bold geyser
are there dps supports in this game?
not like a supp that does more buffing the more damage they do, no.

so just hit 1695 on main. not planning on getting 1700s on it. so b=sically done. Question is. Should i push my alt to 1680 now (no express, used it on main), or should i jus asve up all the mats for when i decide to push pass 1700?
tepid ruin
Guys i did most of my advancing hone, but im missing 15 eye thingys. Is there a way to get it first week or do i have to wait the solo shop reset?

yall are just smarter than i am 😄

id say only push alts when you are comfortable with those raids or really high CP

its my old SE which was my main til not long ago but i'm bad, so i'm tryna get good now that i've had some reps

all my alts are 1500 with one being 1400 so im pushing them to 1690 for now MAYBE 1700 i see

otherwise can always wait for next power pass to swap

that was my issue 🥲
gonna try some different builds then, if nothing sticks, come back to what i got now w/ some worldwise exp
lucid axle
i used to main RE DB but coming back to the game i decided to main DI SH because easier to play
kinda glad i did that since easier for progs too
cant see myself progging with RE DB and doing decent lol
bold geyser
see i dumped my db a long time ago because i was ass, now i expressed her and i'm getting the hang of it
lucid axle
shes fun once you are experienced with the raid
otherwise its just a lot of floor pov or waiting because you missed your skills and dont have full guage 
bold geyser
i'll work on it 🙂
held back severely by my pc being a bit old, but that's low down on the list of fixes, so i'll make do with what i have for the time being
lucid axle
yeah if you do make her a alt i recommend doing it later in your roster if your still building one
faint cedar
i progged every raid from echidna to kaz on db its fine, class can react well with all the mobility
as long as youre doing standard and not 8 dmg
molten grove
it actually makes little diff whether u save ur specials for 18+ or not, at lower tiers the % is higher and specials works best when higher % since theres no pity but lower tiers = worth less per tap so it balanced out in the end
the game is starting to give +18-20 books, if u wait too long, game will evetually start giving them out in larger quantites. I'd say if u want the alt to get ark grid then special now, dont wait, if u wanna park for long time then i guess u could but everyday u park, ur not getting 1700+ rewards either
bold geyser
yeah im just sending it 😄
molten grove
yeah im just sending it 😄
i spent 4k specials on my slayer alt yesterday at +16 then im gonna hone the remainder after this weeks reset paradise to 1700, i think this way is the best way, using specials first then hone remainder coz u cant control special rng but with regular honing u can pity
bold geyser
i got up to 17, gonna see about fixing up some accs in the margins
molten grove
i got up to 17, gonna see about fixing up some accs in the margins
yeah the only reason id park an alt is if im trying to get accessories and karma tap boxes from paradise but paradise gives really low quantities of karma taps so it takes forever
i bought a bunch of accessories coz they crashed after the solo shop ones, then i realised they were underpriced coz they're tradable, it should never be worth as low as untradable ones so i bought 2 sets for 2 alts then ima sell them once i get the paradise ones of similar quality or higher
faint cedar
i mean alts you should almost always be taking specials
bold geyser
i take specials on errbody
faint cedar
free progression is free progression
molten grove
its for cases where u didnt get special fusion or honing support boxes
bold geyser
free progression is free progression 
molten grove
which is for me is like 50% of the time kek
faint cedar
most of my rosters progressed through special taps
molten grove
u either need good rng or infinite patience if u only progress through special taps
looking at 6months i think
bold geyser
good thing i have infinite patience 😄
faint cedar
usually get 1-3 taps per week on each character if i get special hones
lucid axle
with like 3-4k free taps most of my characters got to around 1685 from 1680
faint cedar
theres no point in rushing alts
molten grove
yeah but getting from 1640-1710 on specials requires a significant amount
of course theres a point, the point is being able to play recent raids rather than stuck on the lamest shit for most of ur playtime
faint cedar
rather have a few quality characters than rush ilvl with shit combat power
is the point
lucid axle
yeah i wouldnt do that
faint cedar
the more you rush the less quality spread across the roster
lucid axle
most of my alts are 1500 CP epect one at 1680 and only till now im pushing
molten grove
the quality is fine it just depends how over gear u wanna be
at 1700 1700cp is fine u dont need to be 2k
molten grove
i pug and my cp scores are pug lvl
the most inefficient thing u can do is basically put all ur resource on 1 char and blow it up to 5k cp 1755
faint cedar
subjective again
molten grove
its objective
faint cedar
some people like having a strong character
molten grove
that char earns 1 char worth of gold
theres no subjectivity in efficiency only playstyle
molten grove
coz the same 1755 guy end up playing like 20 1640 alts trying to rice farm the 1755
which is jus stupid
faint cedar
chances are if someones got a 1755 they are not sitting on a 1640 roster lmfao
molten grove
i mean if ur not top 10 in tfm then ur master of none anyway
molten grove
chances are if someones got a 1755 they are not sitting on a 1640 roster lmfao
yeah they sitting on 3 LOL
faint cedar
pretty much everyone i know with a character like thats sitting on a main 6 at 1700-1720
and plenty more with over 10 at 1720
molten grove
i mean if ur alts r alrdy 1720 then u prolly didnt get there by free tapping only
faint cedar
gotta remember theres been a lot of powerpasses over the last few years
i mean my rosters not great, but its good enough for the way ive done it
molten grove
jus saying alot of players here spamming jUs fReE tAp bRo ive been doing it for longer than they said it took them, its no where near that fast
faint cedar
maybe you just have shit free tap luck
molten grove
thats y i said either lucky or insanely patient
if ur lucky u can be 1755 on all chars
faint cedar
games not going anywhere, and making comparisons is detrimental to having fun in the game
you're either patient or broke
pick one
ig you can swipe too
molten grove
im not patient and im also not broke so i picked C
faint cedar
i swiped for progression once and that shits such bad value lmao
but to each their own
molten grove
better value t han rice farming but yeah thats y u dont over progress ur main coz soft resets every cycle
rice farming is the lowest value thing u can do unless ur unemployeed or live in 3rd world country
faint cedar
eh my mains chillin, and got another 3 at 1690+ so im content
just off of mostly free tapping and events
molten grove
then yeah u can get 10ilvls by free tapping
lucid axle
off of only free taps is pretty isane luck lol
molten grove
i used to pay $30 monthly to play wow so i think SG deserves $30 a month although i was stingy and gave them $0
lucid axle
5 of my alts i used like 3-4k and furthest one i pushed was 1680 from 1687.5
molten grove
off of only free taps is pretty isane luck lol
nah this is like half a year + of free taps accumulated for 10 ilvl which sounds about right
molten grove
avged out across 5 alts of course
since the claim is u can just special tap all ur alts to 1700
faint cedar
usually get 1-2 from each char each week, pretty rare to hit nothing in that ilvl range
molten grove
yep
faint cedar
well you cant truly free tap to 1700, you still need to adv hone
lucid axle
paradise aint giving me that much free taps lol
molten grove
mathmatically it doesnt look right u have a low chance to even get specials then very low odds to tap something with no pity
faint cedar
but 1-20 is piss cheap now so thats basically free as well
lucid axle
well yeah if we dont count AH then going to 1690 with +16 gear isnt to bad
molten grove
u cant do AH coz thats not free special tapping
i think u can get to 1680 with free taps only that means no ah, not a single gold spent if u started from day 1 of paradise
thats about it
or u get uber lucky u might be able to get 1 to 1700 if ur luck is compounded o nthat 1 char
faint cedar
odds are if someones saying they free tapped to 1700 they're including in adv hone
at least 20
i start all of my adv hone at 1660 from regular taps
then free tap gear from 14 on
molten grove
yeah if u inc adv honing then 1700 is like +18? +18 is when the odds really start tanking on special honing so ur basically just free tapping the ez part
which is easily believable
marsh grove
I mean
with 11-14 and 15-18 books being so easy to get now
I save special for 18+ weapon
faint cedar
ive hit some disgusting free tap luck, so anything is possible so
molten grove
but u need consistency when u special hone only
faint cedar
my weap went to 20 off of free taps, few hundred from 18-20
just depends on ur luck ofc
molten grove
why use special when I can get free books to tap each time up to 18
coz theres no pity on special so u could just straight burn 5k and get nothing too
faint cedar
you dont need consistency, its about how fast you wanna rush
marsh grove
and can fill in the blanks with gold eventually if I really want to
molten grove
you dont need consistency, its about how fast you wanna rush
u need consistency for the ppl claiming u can just special hone and never spend a cent on alts
marsh grove
u need consistency for the ppl claiming u can just special hone and never spend ...
yeah I mean you shouldn't really believe people toomuch with that
faint cedar
theres few people that actually make that claim though
marsh grove
they're likely doing some AH here and there
or did a few normal taps here and there
its just one of those "I'm self-made" circlejerks that makes people feel good about themselves
faint cedar
special honing will always be supplemental
marsh grove
most of the time
molten grove
or did a few normal taps here and there
thats what i think but they always wanna defend how ez it is to special tap an alt and why ur 7th char should not recieve char bound gold to help out
marsh grove
thats what i think but they always wanna defend how ez it is to special tap an a...
yeah I hear you
I ignore people like that haha
faint cedar
easy comparatively to what it was yes
faint cedar
it actually used to be really difficult to raise alts before paradise
and also progress on main
lucid axle
how much is 11-20 for AH for u guys?
molten grove
it cost my new char 150k of my own money (not from event pass) from 1-1680 total with event pass and saved mats
lucid axle
i have a SS of someone who had a spreadsheet for it but the numbers look a little off i feel
faint cedar
i have a SS of someone who had a spreadsheet for it but the numbers look a littl...
keep in mind the costs were just nerfed
then theres factors like how many x3 or x5 you get
marsh grove
with scrolls off AH and/or breaths it'll definitely be less
faint cedar
on a non event character maybe, seems high though
lucid axle
hmmm
maybe pushing alts to 1700 might be for a later time ig
ill just free tap my way to 1690
faint cedar
well theres no point in rushing 1730 unless you have the cp and resources to fight kaz hm. next breakpoint would be 1720 for armoche hm, which is much more realistic for most avg players
marsh grove
no point really pushing 1700 unless your char is geared enough / has title to get into mord HM / act 4 nm
slow pushing with free 15-18 books and special honing is fine
bold geyser
well theres no point in rushing 1730 unless you have the cp and resources to fig...
what's that cp req look like?
marsh grove
actually I guess I'm kind of wrong
cause u start getting good stuff from kurzan/guardian
molten grove
its hard 2 determine this time coz the new raid requirement is the same ilvl
so idk how much progression they gonna help u with
faint cedar
tbh armoche nm is basically like brel hm cp requirement equivalent
and it unlocks ark grid which is another cp boost
molten grove
before it would be obvious they will keep nerfing it till u get 1730 for new raid
faint cedar
so going 1700 actually is worth it
marsh grove
I don't have x10 kazeros title, and as a 1712 with 2.2k cp I get gatekept all the time
marsh grove
of course its easy lol
cyan kiln
You also get drex instead of skolakia
marsh grove
people like to gatekeep
molten grove
ppl still gatekeep on armoche nm>
marsh grove
mostly gatekept on kaz nm, but sometimes act 4 as well
molten grove
its way easier than brel hm
lucid axle
no point really pushing 1700 unless your char is geared enough / has title to ge...
alts are all almost done karma just a few more lvls in evo so thats why i was thinking about it
but pretty expensive
lean scroll
people gatekeep everything
lucid axle
probably will work on engravings for a bit
faint cedar
1700 will be the new alt sitting spot likely, just doing armoch nm weekly and collecting cores
with that, their cp raises over time
marsh grove
yeah the sooner u get 1700 the better
molten grove
mostly gatekept on kaz nm, but sometimes act 4 as well
yeah i think kaz nm fasho
marsh grove
lower raids getting gold nerf too right?
molten grove
kaz nm is actually hard coz some pugs cannot do solo stagger mech
like their stagger is jus 2 low
cyan kiln
The sorc db parties
faint cedar
kaz nm is hard bc theres a billion patterns and ways to lose your life if you dont pay attention
faint cedar
The sorc db parties
db have fine stagger
i was pumping like 12k on that phase, some dbs are just shit
molten grove
kaz nm is hard on front attk and suppots i think as hit master or back attk dps its pretty chill but still way harder than armoche
cyan kiln
Then you’re a good stagger db. I’ve seen too many not.
molten grove
the issue with armoche nm is the hp is 2 low its supposed 2 get hard during enhanced pattern but he just dies in 10s due to low hp
faint cedar
bc some dbs are monkeys and facetank patterns and refuse to use their mobility to dodge so they can greed
so they end up on the floor
molten grove
db is def a class with very low floor and vey high ceiling
some of the worst dpsers i seen were blades
cyan kiln
Tbh some people don’t get the stagger phase tho. They hold for guards but guards don’t matter.
faint cedar
hitting the counters and staying on your feet is the only thing that matters
you can also throw 2 ww per person in that window
molten grove
i think the issue with that phase is if u dunno when the counter is and u stand infront of him waiting, u get chunked for alot of dmg so ppl get scared and dont go near his front and dont get the counters
faint cedar
well some classes are preconditioned to chase tail, so theyre not in position to counter in the first place
but u dont do regular dmg anyway so back attacking is useless, just hit the thing and wait for counter
molten grove
the counter on him is very direct front u cant even do it at a slight angle
like i had to be dead front 2 get it
faint cedar
yeah db counters ass
but its doable
ive hit him on a slightly off angle a few times and it didnt go off
lucid axle
some classes use there counter in there rotation so its also feels kinda ass for some classes to just hold
molten grove
ive hit him on a slightly off angle a few times and it didnt go off
yep that tilted me at first coz it looked like it would hit but it doesnt
molten grove
some classes use there counter in there rotation so its also feels kinda ass for...
like striker, shit counter and part of his rotation kek
lucid axle
yeah a lot of classes where its important to there rotation also feels garbo

hi, any1 knows if solo buff "true supporter" still req to mark the boss/use brand ? or did they change it?
lucid axle
im not entirely sure but every sups dps build are all now viable (still low tier though) so you can just follow that
how much CP do you usually gain for every 5 books?
shadow pasture
how much CP do you usually gain for every 5 books?
You can check in trixion
lucid axle
oh ty
it’s about 20 CP for each so 80 CP max :/
though i don’t really have anywhere else better to spend my gold other then ark grid ig
or push alts
dim pulsar
well, Ark grid is most efficient CP to Gold ratio
shadow pasture
Ark grid is best bang for buck
lucid axle
well, Ark grid is most efficient CP to Gold ratio
all my red cores are all 17P so i don’t think i’ll that much of a dmg gain out of it
but yeah just been tapping blues and holding onto reds
dim pulsar
well, u can drop ancient core 
and min max gemmies
ofc more than 17p wont give u THAT much dmg increase
dim pulsar
plat/gold/other packs are ur "discounted" packs
lucid axle
well, u can drop ancient core <:UwU:922621420163448913>
with my luck ain’t happening
dim pulsar
with my luck ain’t happening <:KEKDog:1017277642833154128>
hope for pity
safe patrol
plat/gold/other packs are ur "discounted" packs
i kenot buy it
so its not counter for me
dim pulsar
so its not counter for me
its more about "decent" packs in "normal" price
cuz these ones we got here are "better" than any other packs we had
lucid axle
p2w in this game is not very efficient
dim pulsar
this is decent pack for what it gives
lucid axle
but it is a option still
dim pulsar
p2w in this game is not very efficient
it is, if u think about "faster" skip
dim pulsar
for 50$ this pack isnt bad
lucid axle
you’re getting like maybe a 2-3 week jump start
dim pulsar
we had WAY WAY worse packs with 70/80$
safe patrol
this is decent pack for what it gives
lucid axle
been f2p outside of character slots so never honestly looked at price for packs
just sometimes check what they have
dim pulsar

instead of having to wait
always kinda pisses me off how ppl always have to say to a new player “oh wait till next month we get a juiced event”
lucid axle
but ig for now with the silver honing change coming later in T3 it’s not to bad
lucid axle
you’ll get them slowly
convert aegir mats to destiny stones if you full ancient gear
otherwise it’s just kinda a waiting game

how do u play this class? i just passess this beach

u will just get more than u need

deathblade?

deathblade?
yes
lucid axle
uhhh
lucid axle
how do you like your classes tough for simple
cyan kiln
u will just get more than u need
I thought so and then stupidly did karma on 6 chars at once.
lucid axle
cuz this class is HARD
well surge isn’t to hard
dim pulsar
I thought so and then stupidly did karma on 6 chars at once.
i do karma for alts like 99% with free tapies
dim pulsar
well surge isn’t to hard
but surge dmg is deadge
lucid axle
it’s more so the fact that missing is detrimental
cyan kiln
I stopped raiding at Brel start but my main roster was Brel ready, then came back in the summer. Destiny stones was pain.
dim pulsar
pick arcana 
lucid axle
one with summons?
dim pulsar
cry later
lucid axle
one with big fire ball?
lucid axle
sorc then
dim pulsar
Reflux>>>>>Igniter
cyan kiln
Tbh arcana is one of the strongest classes in the game but it will take a lot out of you to live up to potential.
safe patrol
was thinking to passess the last beach also
dim pulsar
she decent
lucid axle
RE is probably the hardest class in the game and is punishing if you miss your skills and needs lots of raid knowledge
dim pulsar
nah arcana is harder
lucid axle
surge is a lot easier and only punishing if you miss your skills
and by punishing if you miss you cry
safe patrol
she decent
how decent for a sup?
lucid axle
nah arcana is harder
i hate arcana because im to lazy to remember all the cards
lucid axle
how decent for a sup?
fine no one really compares which supp is better
in terms of how easy to play though
different story
dim pulsar
how decent for a sup?
well u have 4 supps so cant rly say BAD or Great, she is Decent
lucid axle
all ik is bard is hardest to play and palidin is easiest to play
dim pulsar
sure she isnt BIS OP like bard, but still good
safe patrol
i see
lucid axle
yeah she’s good both dps and supporting
safe patrol
btw is there a place for fastest lvling alt?
dim pulsar
no
dim pulsar
u can use stronghold Training (with aura u have better xp ratio)
safe patrol
oh like lvl lvls
yes the blue exp
dim pulsar
idk if u even have it unlocked tho
lucid axle
and raids
safe patrol
u can use stronghold Training (with aura u have better xp ratio)
i unlocked this and use it on valk, but exp so low
lucid axle
outside of express event the only place to buy exp i think is solo shop
and it isn’t much
safe patrol
u can use stronghold Training (with aura u have better xp ratio)
i dont need to worry about this for a moment
dim pulsar
i only worry that u will quit (with BIG money into game), cuz bunch of ppl did use 12312+ $$ and just quit cuz couldnt get over with how Grindy it is

we also had some ppl like this, then they just quit
lucid axle
they see a mmo swipe a bunch and then cry about why there progression is so slow because they stopped swiping and are in end end game
lucid axle
honestly getting to end game in lost ark as a MMO isn’t hard but min maxing late game is a whole different story
and i’m starting to face it 
especially with solo raids up to mordum now
add t3 silver honing and chefs kiss
lucid axle
yup
you should probably starting doing bloodclaw
it’s even worse
idk the % chance of that one map appearing on the boat
but it’s not good
lucid axle
i think it’s like a 2% every 30min
took me like 3 weeks i think to do get it
and i left mid raid for it lol
there’s a chat for it in your server if you click the yellow chat box top left
ppl will notify you if they run into it
but not everytime someone is checking sometimes you check yourself
safe patrol
I see
cloud notch
idk the % chance of that one map appearing on the boat
You can hop to different channels to get 10 or so attempts every half hour
Makes it a lot better
lucid axle
You can hop to different channels to get 10 or so attempts every half hour
oh this actually works?
cloud notch
Yeah
lucid axle
i wasn’t actually sure but the few times i did check and swapped channels no luck
wait so if someone says there bloodclaw do they have to specify the channel too?
cloud notch
Yes
lucid axle
intesting the few times i saw ppl call they never said which channel
so i just assumed that they were all the same
marsh grove
intesting the few times i saw ppl call they never said which channel <:KEKW:8347...
Yeah, all the channels are the same for the fragment off the coast of south kurzan
channel hopping doesnt help
cloud notch
Did they change that? because it used to
cloud notch
Ah ok
lucid axle
think it was used to because at the start i saw a lot of ppl talking about channel swapping
cloud notch
Well just gotta suffer through it then I suppose
lucid axle
ngl they need to make that not rng
that’s probably the worst part of bloodclaw
and it’s stopping 1660 from getting there 4th line of enlightenment
marsh grove
it always shows up at the same time so its not too bad to just camp and check
annoying tho, yeah
I'd rather deal with that than with bad pirate bottle rng
lucid axle
i’ve always gotten the bottle before though
marsh grove
I was stuck on bottle for close to 2 months on alt account
doing stronghold turn in, rapport for coins, unas for 5000 high sea, etc
co-op when I could
everything
lucid axle
i’ve been playing on my friends for fun recently and i got it in the first attempt
dim pulsar
I was stuck on bottle for close to 2 months on alt account
they should give us pity for this at 200 bottles
marsh grove
yeah good for you
point being that rng on bottle can like actually fk you once pirate coin sources dry up
cause its super slow after that
vs just havingn to check outside south kurzan here and there for a fragment
lucid axle
true
cloud notch
I got 2 bottle fragments of my first purchase
lucid axle
idk 1st bloodclaw map needs a update
that shit dookie
i’m still doing FB one on my friends acc
marsh grove
fb has pretty fast pity
lucid axle
idk when my pity will hit since i haven’t been counting but it feels like forever
i think i’m on a few more?
like under 5
maybe
hopefully
once i’m done that it’s just skill points
god damn ignia tokens
marsh grove
im not going to bother with tokens on alt
its the difference of level 13 vs 14 on one singular skill
for 9 100% tomes
cba
lucid axle
yeah it’s something i’m debating on just leaving
playing on a second account is rough for vertical progression
but i like the feeling of building a roster again lol
marsh grove
its not too bad
enlightenment pot rng can be annoying
but aside from that the rest is managable
and you can just spam tower for roster level anyways
lucid axle
i don’t even do that on my main
lucid axle
his roster lvl looks rat but his characters are at least built
abusing mokoko event on his account to find parties
but like
GOD DAMN i’m not like some mokokos
some of them just be dying at the start wanting a free carry
had 2 tdy when raiding on my main
vast oriole
I prefer them dying than wiping the rest personally
lucid axle
ig that’s true but still like what are they gonna do when they don’t have the mokoko event lol
marsh grove
well
most mokokos are just alt accounts
of people that want the gold
at least thats what I think
lucid axle
for the ones that afk i feel that way
lucid axle
the ones with garbo dmg i excuse cause at least they are trying and understand mechs

as a returnee myself ive been constantly taking L's and eating shit since I came back
completely understandable that many people just give up

lucid axle
as a returnee myself ive been constantly taking L's and eating shit since I came...
it honestly doesn’t get much better
what’s ur roster like?
like i get into parties that don’t look like rat and half the lobby ends up being rat
marsh grove
1712 / 1700 / 1680 x 4 now on main
alt will be in a similar spot in a week or 2
easy enough to just solo up through 1680 now
lucid axle
ok yeah that shouldn’t be to bad though i’m assuming your CP lvl isn’t that high on ur alts though
marsh grove
I mean with the solo shop accessories and stuff they're like
1400? cp maybe
and ive barely touched their karma
lucid axle
ok yeah 1400 with karma barely touched is pretty good spot
marsh grove
cp doesnt really matter for solo tho
safe patrol
where i can find astrogem guide for each class?
marsh grove
im just gonna use them to funnel the 2 main chars
lucid axle
well yeah true just do solos tbh if ur 1680 and just pub aegir HM ppl don’t care as much there
marsh grove
im playing my main 2 acc + my friends old roster as well so
idc about more gold from HM
I usually just solo
lucid axle
where i can find astrogem guide for each class?
there isn’t really concrete place mostly just ask the class channel
some of them have it in there guides some don’t
lean scroll
if i start a second roster on same acc on different server.. does that have mokoko?
lucid axle
im playing my main 2 acc + my friends old roster as well so
thinking about doing the same since astrogems are so expensive
lean scroll
i cant deal with logging out of steam account all the time to switch rosters 😄
that's just too much for my sanity
marsh grove
its annoying but you can't double up on events anyways
like the current juiced express
you'd need a different steam account to double up on that
lean scroll
oh that's once per acc? not per roster?
lucid axle
yeah
lean scroll
oof
marsh grove
maybe with t3 changes and story express it'll be worth it
on same account different server
but for now, not so much
unless you started like a year ago
marsh grove
same here
came back aug 2025 after a 3+ year break
the 2nd acc I made then is roster 202 now
with some good chars
lucid axle
i still feel like a returning player kinda even though it’s been a year
marsh grove
and I was doing it super casually at the beginning, wasnt expecting it to turn into anything
lucid axle
my mains like 260 lol
marsh grove
is all it takes
also im still getting 2x exp from tower at 202 so
idk what the cutoff is
lucid axle
ok story is still a eh for me but maybe i burn through some just for the roster exp
marsh grove
I mean roster exp + cards are really big from story
especially if you're doing 6x chars
but some people can't / don't want to stomach it so
to each their own
marsh grove
I never skip south kurzan north kurzan or rimeria
too good to skip
voldis sucks dingo
marsh grove
yeah I mean it helps to have goals
main was pushing 300 so that was a nice goal
alt acc the goal was to hit 200 so that was my goal
lucid axle
tower is just annoying because some of them you actually have to pay attention
marsh grove
you get used to it
I was getting gatekept on roster
and personally I also gatekeep on roster for certain things so
I decided I wanted my absolute minimum to be 200
for gold icon
lucid axle
yeah a lot of ppl gatekeep under like 200
at least whenever i see below 200 i get a bit sus
marsh grove
yea
lean scroll
which is weird honestly, it's not a crime to not have 1000hours in the game 😄
marsh grove
well the people that actually play this game
play the fk out of it for a long time
and that gets reinforced with frontier titles and such
for more gatekeeping
lucid axle
yeah idk how
marsh grove
people want to play with those who have invested as much time/money/gold as they have
or at a bare minimum not get jailed from sus players
lucid axle
yeah idk my main definitely should be 300+
lucid axle
but idek what to do for it unless i just spam tower
marsh grove
if you're considering doing tower on a 200+ roster acc then
just go do other horizontals
its still exp and actually gives you "progress"
lucid axle
i have a bunch of alts so def could get close at least
marsh grove
I have no intention of continuing tower now that im 200
lucid axle
yeah true but roster lvl has been so slow recently
once t3 silver honing comes maybe i’ll run some story
blissful folio
Would be nice to do do 1-20 with silver
vast oriole
I mean smilegate couldnt even send us the t3 silver honing patch
They are always late with nerfs so dont expect 1-20 silver before at least another year
lucid axle
yeah they gonna make 1640-1660 to silver before they do that probably lol

Earth for kaz as well no?
I forget
balmy plank
No
The only reason you would use earth in kaz is if everyone has 30 awakening because support gets a tiny bit for stagger
Its not better for damage in any way
balmy plank
Right, which is why the card set doesnt matter
faint cedar
I kinda like that stagger check, it’s the only time I’ve actually had to check logs to see what my stagger is
It’s nice to see one that’s actually important
