anyone has a problem with logging in in EUC ?

is it better to hone or rank 6 enlight? i'm 1683

#

depends on your goals

sitting 1680 bracket? or want to push

#

and if you do push, is your cp high enough to get into lobby?

#

can some1 give me a TLDR of the brel HM mechanic in gate 2

#

with the shapes and colors where some people go out

#

how do you know where to stand

#

outside

dim pulsar
#

memo guide should have this mech explained Susge

marsh grove
#

im like in now and normally its not a problem cause I just stay insidee and stagger

#

but other people dont know either so I gotta man up

#

and learn it

#

quick

#

đŸȘ„

cyan kiln
#

At the start you will see 3 spots light up with color.

#

Then it goes away.

#

So you have to remember them. Sometimes people type them in chat.

#

Then 4 spots light up in order in the inner circle.

#

Each light you need to stand on the matching outer spot for the stagger dude to appear.

#

Sometimes your quadrant has 2 of the same color, you need to ping the second then so someone else comes and stands on it.

#

A good practice is to always look even if you’re in. Or rather, everyone out

#

In a good homework raid you never need to ping.

marsh grove
#

thank you @cyan kiln

cyan kiln
#

People usually write the inner ones in chat.

#

So you can just hang in your outer quadrant and step on them when you see in chat. But for real practice, walk in and out, like you could do it all by yourself.

marsh grove
#

stepping in the color that matches the inside color?

#

but you can only see the outer colors at the beginning so you need to remember them?

dim pulsar
#

u can even type outer colors urself

#

like 12 b/1y/2g

marsh grove
#

ok

#

and its usually uh

#

party 1's job? to go to x3 position and remember/call?

#

perfect, thanks guys

#

now that im out of raid that explanation + me watching the guide

#

is just what I needed

cyan kiln
#

The inner ones will light up quicker than you expect if people are on point which isn’t a problem, just confusing how quickly people type them in chat sometimes.

vast oriole
#

Sometimes they will write it in group title or chat

#

Sometimes its ffa, just go to your position

urban herald
#

Got to +14, then did +10 AH. Is it okay to push without buying breaths and just using the free books I got? At what point is it worth to buy extras?

marsh grove
#

is it the event char?

#

next step will be AH 20

#

if you have gold to spend on that char then buy AH scrolls instead (if you ran out of solo shop / event ones ), its significantly better value than breaths

#

at a bare minimum u want full juice on max orbs though

#

event shop has some breaths, some weeklies do too, as well as login timed reward

urban herald
marsh grove
#

you said "Got to +14, then did +10 AH"

#

meaningn you already did +14 and got 10 AH?

urban herald
#

Correct

marsh grove
#

so you're 1670

urban herald
#

Yes

marsh grove
#

next step is AH 20 for 1680

urban herald
#

Ah, okay. I was thinking I needed to normal hone to 1680. Cool, I'll get some more scrolls, then. I can do a challenge but I got irritated because I got Echidna solo mode down to sub 5% twice yesterday but disconnected both times so I stopped lmao

marsh grove
#

by challenge do you mean the express mission?

urban herald
#

Yeah

marsh grove
#

you should do the 1670 mission when you can, cause it gives u a ton of scrolls

#

and yeah, use breaths you have on full orbs

#

though if you have a bit of extra gold I'd buy scrolls off the AH if you run out

#

mokoko shop has scrolls, same with solo shop

#

but 1 scroll is on average double progress for a normal tap

#

so it'll save you materials / gold

#

but if you're like super new/returning then you wont have market gold

#

in which case just save scrolls and juice for full orbs

#

and do unjuiced taps the other times

#

but yeah, at where you are in the game, I'd recommend NEVER buying breaths

#

thats like

#

rich people shit

urban herald
#

Thank you very much. I'm sure I'll be back when I'm trying 1680 -> 1700 lmao
Always throws me off when people have these tips of the "correct" way to advance

marsh grove
#

no worries

#

at 1680 you'll do mission which gives a ton of +15-18 books

#

for normal honing

#

but it won't be enough so

#

do your best to start buying the solo shop books for 15-18

#

either way 15-18 will have boosted rates on the event char

#

so getting to 1700 will be much cheaper/easier than normal

#

but still expensive yeah

urban herald
#

Thank you. I appreciate the help.

marsh grove

sorry to hear that destroyer didnt work out for you 🙁

its good that you've got a 1700 though, a lot of nice extra gold from chaos gate + cube (and cube ticket boxes) + other stuff

Giant hammer is one of my favourite fantasy weapons, but I'm just.. not good with him lmao. I get way too greedy, I forget the exact boss patterns and wiff or eat hits to the face. Just a no-hands issue, haha

But gunlancer seems a lot more fun than I thought, so I'm not upset. 1700 is a good alt park spot, I've been told

Hey, I'm a returning player who wants to make a new character to relearn the game, but I need to delete a bunch of old ilvl ~1300 characters who are in universal storage before I can make a new one. Is there anything I should do on those old characters before deleting them?

The servers have recently merged. This has moved around some items, but they are not lost.
Step 1. Reclaim your characters from the Universal Storage on the character select screen.
Step 2. Login and claim your cards on the Universal Storage tab on the card menu using ALT+C.
Step 3. Reclaim your roster storage by using ESC and opening Universal Storage.
Step 4. Re-equip your cards as they were reset and must be re-equipped.

You are all good to go!
For more information on the merge read this.

coarse vigil
#

how do the directional bracelet lines scale compared to the flat outgoing damage lines? are they the same if theoretically everything benefits from it? (lets ignore bleed/awa for the sake of argument)

lavish mortar
#

If everything benefits, then its just a multiplier at the end
So 2.5% ba dmg would be equal to 2.5% dmg

#

Incl bleed n other stuff tho, would end up closer to 2.3 probably?

coarse vigil
#

so a 3% back attack line on bracelet would be equal to a 3% outgoing damage line, and only slightly worse if we include bleed/awakening?

lavish mortar
coarse vigil

okay thank you :) wasnt sure if theres more math at play here like with additional damage

if you still arnet sure post a clip

after you already beat her as a giant?

edgy mason
#

on gate 2 i beat her she turn giant i beat her she go in basement. then when the white snake appear and after that alot of times she just wipes

bold geyser
#

you can use thar as soon as the blue circle spawns

#

failing that, when you do the quicktime you just hit the key when the circle overlaps, you dont need to hold it down, just time the presses correctly

edgy mason
#

how do i use him though? like am i just missing timers on him?

#

or do i need to use on a specific location

bold geyser
#

if you aim the cursor at the circle, and press whatever your hotkey is for the sidereal, he'll do the duel for you

edgy mason
#

do i need to kill the snake during that time?

bold geyser
#

you can still help beat on the snake while he does that, and should

#

i dont know how much damage he does by himself, but i doubt its enough to kill it

dying to the red after is because you either need to flame grenade a section of the wall to create your own safe space, or just use infernius sidereal to wipe out the room

evolution is a bit in the gray area because if youre a blunt thorn user, upgrading evo is just more max hp, the evo damage gain from it is so miniscule

foggy venture
rose fiber
#

but if not its a "nice to have, not must to have"

vast oriole
rose fiber
vast oriole
#

and people will gatekeep you if you dont have your karma done

foggy venture
#

so much gold MCry maybe like 400k for decent karma

lavish mortar
#

Pretty cheap compared to the dmg gain

rose fiber
#

yea people gate keep you based on karma

#

i wouldnt accept people with 6 evo but non 6 on enlightenment and leap

#

unless they returned from before supp rework

Min/Max Guide for Early Elysian & Crucible _

lucid axle
#

do you guys think its a bad idea to buy these for your alts?

#

i bought the bottom one because its not to expensive but idk about the top being worth it

autumn dagger
#

No

balmy plank
#

It your gold. We cant value your "worth" of it

#

I wouldnt buy it personally but Im also putting zero effort into my alts ark grid

autumn dagger
#

It's almost 2 months and my alts have 1 usable core

#

So they will not see a astrogems for long time

lucid axle
#

yeah was thinking the same gonna be a while before i see any cores that i can use

#

ill probably skip on them then

safe patrol
#

insta buy and regret my 40k = 40taps

lucid axle
#

yeah rushing things in this game is not even fun a lot of the time its just pain deadge

safe patrol
#

collect more skin for my deathblade is better

#

for this

#

its only i dont get more gold reward from that character right?

#

but the mats still get?

shy chasm
#

Yes

safe patrol
#

dang i see

shy chasm
#

You can also just press esc and use the raid tracker to see what raids you did tgat week

safe patrol
#

i tho when gold all used i dont get a single reward

shy chasm

And which you took gold on

#

whats better for a new player? drizzle or windfury'

livid fossil
#

Drizzle my opinion

static jungle
#

hm cool. its possible to set more than one preset right

#

im trying drizzle atm and i like it, but i wanted to try the other one too.

shy chasm
#

Ye mass presets in esc

static jungle
#

hmm where in esc?

#

roughly

shy chasm
#

Uh top left

static jungle
#

ohh under character

vast oriole
#

(Drizzle is way easier to play but some people dont like how slow she is)

static jungle
#

right "mass presets"

#

oh jeez there sa lot going on ere lol

#

guess im gonna be busy for a bit

shy chasm
#

You will have to maybe buy a skill preset slot since you also need a skill preset for chaos

vast oriole
#

Can just use drizzle preset for chaos

#

Thats what i do

static jungle
#

you just click at the top to change between them?

vast oriole
#

Yes

static jungle
#

awesomet y ❀

safe patrol
#

i just walk around on chaos dung

shy chasm
#

You dont wanna spend 2 yrs doing chaos cuz your skills dont have good aoe

safe patrol
shy chasm
safe patrol
#

walk around and theres fire every 1 or 2 second

vast oriole
#

You get meter and then stay under the raid

vast oriole
#

We try not to tell new players to immediately swipe

shy chasm
#

Oh is that what the fire is

safe patrol
vast oriole
#

Yes

shy chasm
#

I was wondering what it is

vast oriole
#

Azena blessing

#

XD

vast oriole
#

Irl money

safe patrol
#

that from azena? lol

shy chasm
#

Thats some bs

vast oriole
safe patrol
#

i tho it was free

vast oriole
#

Yes

#

Its azena not free

#

But drizzle has thes same effect

#

But better

#

For free

safe patrol
#

i had 4 char with it deadge

#

and i tho azena only give daily tingy benefits lol

vast oriole
#

Nop

#

Its free mana food also

#

And other shits that i forgot

safe patrol
shy chasm
#

I thought the only thing it gave was mana food

#

Thats why I never looked into it

vast oriole
#

I hate the fire fart

#

Fucks up my cd reset on birds

safe patrol
#

just stay still and move

Can you get the normal armor you get from progression as transmog?

safe patrol

whats more important, crystalline aura or azena's blessing? is eitehr one of them even worth it?

How do you get cloth?

#

is it me or 1680 to 1700 not that much of a dmg gain?

#

assuming karma is already done

obtuse nexus
lucid axle
#

idk its just me still getting used to doing HM but my dmg feels just barely higher

lavish mortar
lucid axle
#

cores were pretty ass

dim pulsar
#

power wise bis would be AH30 done with 1690-1700

obtuse nexus
dim pulsar
#

that would give u most power from "honing"

lavish mortar
#

Then you gained nearly nothing going from 1680 to 1700

I played this game 3 years ago and did a bunch of roster quests, had a ton of seeds. anyone know how my friend passed me in roster level doing all the same things i am?

Go farm towers for exp kekwaddle

if only they gave worhty rewards

i had a feeling it was something stupid like that

obtuse nexus
#

if im only doing solo raids do i always buy box

lavish mortar
minor briar
#

since gold is usually the gate now with paradise existing

split fractal
#

Can someone check my character and tell me what i should focus on? its Roes, still being gatekept :c

bold geyser
#

i would argue unless you're desperate for shards, you would almost never buy the box, since now you can get karma and both tiers of AH mats from solo shop

split fractal
#

NA

obtuse nexus
#

wow thats so itneresting

#

im gladi asked

#

cuz i remember it was always buy box before

bold geyser
#

once upon a time the mats were much more expensive, comparatively

static jungle
#

can i trade these: for lvl 15+ stuff? or are they worthless now

bold geyser
split fractal
#

Thank you, i was checking some rings, i think i should get high crit and mid crit as well?

bold geyser
#

going from mid/0 to high/mid would obviously be a huge upgrade 😄 but the specific target for your class is likely in your class channel or community guide

split fractal
#

is there a scrapper channel or something like that?

bold geyser
#

there is

static jungle
#

aw.

#

is there a way for a noobie to get 15+s?

bold geyser
#

solo shop has some

paper walrus
#

its in the challenge express

bold geyser
#

the challenge express has a ton from mordum

static jungle
#

oh is it

split fractal
#

thank youuu

static jungle
#

i gotta finish it, ty.

#

also whats advanced honing?

#

i keep getting thse but the option to do it isnt open yet

paper walrus
#

you should be doing that

bold geyser
#

check your guide quests, you're likely well past the time when you should be doing it

paper walrus
#

you unlock it after doing echidna

static jungle
#

oh

#

whats that D:

#

should i do the guide quests then?

#

its telling me to clear tower, but i dont know how to find that

bold geyser
#

generally a good idea to do them always anyway 😄

static jungle
#

its not on alt+q

bold geyser
#

not those quests

#

j -> guide tab

static jungle
#

ohhhhh

#

ty

#

wait do i have to do all 3 towers?

#

thats so many levels

bold geyser
#

dont have to do any towers

static jungle

its telling me to clear it

bold geyser
#

not growth, guide 🙂

static jungle

this is all t1 t2 t3 materials too

#

ohhh

bold geyser

those are just suggestions for things to do for new players

static jungle

these are the ones i have hm

bold geyser
#

go beat echnida solo mode

if you've never done that

static jungle

okies

dont have to check gold, if you're comfortable/able to do higher gold earning raids

wheres echinda btw?

#

is that a raid?

paper walrus

kazeros raid overture

#

snake lady

bold geyser
#

way to the left on the kazeros war map

static jungle
#

this ?

#

both gates?

bold geyser
#

thats the one

static jungle
#

also can i do it solo or do i have to try and find a group?

paper walrus
#

you should do both gates to get experience

#

but adv honing unlocks after g`1

bold geyser
#

i think you technically only need the first gate, but you may as well while you're there 🙂

#

especially if you're gonna do it for gold

paper walrus
#

solo will unlock it

static jungle
#

i dont have a guide quest for it btw

bold geyser
#

you will

static jungle
#

oh okay

#

ty gonna try it, this game

#

has so many systems

#

i dont even know if im having fun, i have 300 browser tabs open lol

bold geyser
#

in my defense, you're powerpassing a character past when you would do echidna, so from a game standpoint it's unheard of that you wouldn't have run the raid yet

#

its a brave new world 😄

static jungle
#

😄

#

also, where doo you guys set your bifrosts to?

#

just realized thats a thing, i dont have them set anywhere yet.

bold geyser
#

i have so much silver stocked up i hardly use them anymore

static jungle
#

oh man, i actually remember that whne i last played, i had alts on some delivery island

bold geyser
#

but best to put them in a useful spot in town, and particular islands you may be grinding

static jungle
#

i dont wanna do that again lol

#

ohh

#

is gifting npcs still a thing?

#

i remember you needed alts for that or sometihng?

bold geyser
#

sure

paper walrus
#

you never used alts to do rapport

bold geyser
#

i think you could only do 5 actions per char per day

paper walrus
#

it was per roster

bold geyser
#

so you could have a ton of rapports in parallel if you had alts doing them

#

99 gifts per roster for sure no getting around that 🙁

#

in any case, if you still have rapports with rewards you need, you can still do them

static jungle
#

ohhh

#

also, kinda random

#

trying to use life skills, this is grayed out for some reason

#

i do have a pickaxe equiped i think?

bold geyser
#

has to proc

#

some pickaxes will increase the chance of it popping

static jungle
#

ohhhh

#

is using life skills on lullaby island a bad idea?

#

just trying to get it to zero atm.

bold geyser
#

like use up your life energy?

static jungle
#

yeah.

bold geyser
#

better to spend it on T4 mats, generally

static jungle
#

oh

#

how do you do that?

bold geyser
#

unless you're after particular world tree leaves

#

farming in north kurzan or rimeria

static jungle
#

are there specific good spots

bold geyser
#

none better than any others, but might have easier routes/less mobs/fewer people

static jungle
#

gonna try north kurzan ty ❀

#

is there a way to hide the green shards

warm field
#

yes

#

click on the (chest) icon that's just after the stronghold (house) icon

static jungle
#

ohh

#

you guys rock sorry for spamming so much lol

lucid axle
#

is it even really worth doing AH 21-30 instead of 16-18+?

#

its proabably more of a dmg gain but its like double the gold lol

oh theres a channel/discord somewhere that tracks the mercants right? i remember that was a thing

bold geyser

you wanna get the elemental sets worked on, and things like demon damage, but LOS30 is a good palce to be

static jungle
#

out of curiosity, did people get mad when everyone got free los30?

bold geyser
#

lot less popular/reliable now taht you can see what every vendor has from the world map

static jungle
#

i remmeber i was farming it back in the day, and i was at like.. 10-12?

#

ohh

#

nice soc, ty.

bold geyser
#

people get mad at everything

lavish mortar
#

Im sure many people were mad tho

static jungle
#

mhm i can imagine. i kinda liked having a long term goal like that to farm, but its prob for the best, i wasnt getting invited partially because of that

twilit apex
#

yo

#

can i raid with na east if im na west?

lavish mortar

I have every new set maxed out but am still happy to see them consistently give out a bunch of card selectors to help others lol

lavish mortar
twilit apex
#

ok sweet

#

thank you!

bold geyser
static jungle
#

which ones of these should i be tracking?

#

like which ones are important

lavish mortar
#

I track gold silver and current shards

#

If by track you mean have showing at all times

bold geyser
#

everything in the top section matters, but i rarely need to check them so i dont track anything but gold

static jungle
#

oh okay.

#

also if on hte express pass, when do i need to start worrying about gear?

#

since they give out a bnch of stuff

bold geyser
#

will need accs, likely will need a better bracelet

lavish mortar
bold geyser
#

once you craft aegir gear you're set on that til we get the new stuff

static jungle
#

hm

#

ill prob have to read a guide at some point i have a bunch of stuff thts dropping from chaos

#

but i havent even moused it over properly yet, dont know what to look for.

#

using lifeskillls in the stronghold farm is highly inneficient right

bold geyser
#

it is

#

but it's better than sitting at maxed out life energy, i guess

What are the best raids to do for gold at 1660 ilvl?

Is there a point in joining a guild in this game?

other than socializing

do you still have to do daily quests on a bunch of diff characters to unlock side progression stuff?

lucid axle
#

anyone actually know drop rate for cores?

#

for rarity

bold geyser
static jungle
#

oh lame.

bold geyser
#

once your'e done with the rep you literally can't do the daily anymore

static jungle
#

i remember that burnt me out really bad last time

bold geyser
#

then dont do them 🙂

#

uhh how do you complete this?

i think it's working mokokoNodders

he's spamming "a frame?"

oh wth

#

that worked lol

lavish mortar
#

Feel stupid

static jungle
#

what should i be spending on this?

#

and this

bold geyser
#

abidos are good, sahrds if you need them, leaps if you need them, reds if you need them

#

can buy books + scrolls if you're honing/ahing

#

then on the last page anything for any system you still dont have maxed out

#

obviously nothing in the gold shop just yet 🙂

static jungle
#

whats abidos?

bold geyser
#

top level fusion materials

midnight nimbus
#

is this "Wealth Lv.7 Chaos Stone" as in T3 mats?

#

yuh

static jungle
#

do you guys change your consumables bar depending on content?

#

or are there like 4 "safe" ones to keep?

dim pulsar
#

i mostly keep HP pot/whatever/atro/dark

#

but it will depen on what u mostly want to do

static jungle
#

hm

#

what do atro and dark do?

dim pulsar
#

atro gives u Atk power boost

#

dark granade is -20% def boss

static jungle
#

oh, so you use them both together?

dim pulsar
#

mostly

#

u dont need to use any of them

static jungle
#

damn they are expensiv

paper walrus
#

dark is a 20s debuff on a 30s cd
atro is a 10s debuff on a 60s cd

#

if you're in group content and you really need the damage then people rotate darks so its on most of the time, atro timings are specific since you only get 3 per raid

#

dont buy them

#

you have infinite battle item boxes

dim pulsar
#

i only open free boxes

paper walrus
#

you will get more as you play

static jungle
#

oh

#

i do have some boxes hm

#

so dark , atrophine, and 3rd one is whatever?

dim pulsar
#

every event/login track/bonus they give us u can get boxes with it

paper walrus
#

besides, the content you do right now shouldnt be tight on dps, we only use them because we like to parse

dim pulsar
#

99% of time u dont need any of it

static jungle
#

ah i see.

dim pulsar
#

since u gonna play solo mode for time beeing below 1680/90

paper walrus
#

battle items are meant to make up for a lack in some sort of utility

#

no mech in the entire game is meant to be solved with a battle item except for like 3 situations

static jungle
#

hm i should prob be using darks to make stuff easier and quicker right

#

20% extra dmg seems nice

dim pulsar
#

its not 20% extra dmg

paper walrus
#

if you really are missing the damage, sure

static jungle
#

oh

dim pulsar
#

its 20% of defense of boss

paper walrus
#

-20% def

dim pulsar
#

thats not 20% of dps

static jungle
#

right

paper walrus
#

its more like 8%(?) damage

lucid axle
#

do the cores have a known drop rate for rarity or no?

dim pulsar
#

50/50 either u drop or no KEKW

static jungle
#

is this any useful?

dim pulsar
#

no

lucid axle
#

got full epic cores this week with my alt

static jungle
#

how about this one hm

dim pulsar
#

also no

lucid axle
#

like pepeW

dim pulsar
#

Elixir and Transcendence was removed from game

static jungle
#

oh

#

what a trap then in the pass

dim pulsar
#

u can dismantle them for solo coins

lucid axle
#

they removed it during the pass

#

so it was thing

bold geyser
static jungle
#

oh damn that was a lot of solo coins

#

ty

molten grove
static jungle
#

hmm okay.

#

i think ill only play one character other than unas.

#

is it more efficient to buy gold and then buy skins with gold, or just buying skins outright?

dim pulsar
#

u mean RC->Gold->Skins (market)? or RC->Skins?

#

ofc RC->>>SKINS

#

is way way way more worth to do

static jungle
#

oh okay.

#

ty

#

aalso just realized that hyper awakenings are a thing.

#

are they available in all content?

dim pulsar
#

u cant use them in world (world boss)

#

chaos/guardians/raids are with Hypers

static jungle
#

damn. i should start using it

#

it does so so much dmg

#

is there a better recommended key for the hyper awakening other than alt+v ?

dim pulsar
#

u can swap it

#

i use

@dim pulsarWhich do you prefer between glaive, deadeye, and slinger
The stance dancin' classes?

I did a slinger in early 2022 and it was a lot of fun

felt like it was very lenient though

dim pulsar
#

non, i play Barrage Arti

unique fox
#

no alts?

dim pulsar
#

6x Barrage for me

unique fox
#

WHAT

dim pulsar
#

thats my main roster

#

ofc some alts but i dont play them like Main 6

next time you log in I want to see your character select scr-

oh my god

You found a class and you love it.

dim pulsar

is the 2nd ones background from ark pass?

unique fox
#

THE SAME HAIR TOO

I bet people can recognize you

dim pulsar
lucid axle
#

might grind for that

dim pulsar
lucid axle
#

also god damn i feel like maybe im rushing myself

#

looking at ur roster ur pretty spread across

dim pulsar
#

since i dont rly care about 1680+ content im not in any rush

lucid axle
#

this is what im at

dim pulsar
#

i might get to 1700/10 and might do some act4's but meh

lucid axle
#

but i feel so rat because engravings have only been done through free ones given so far

dim pulsar
#

no need to rush anything

#

gotta do some lifeskills

lucid axle
#

yeah everything is just so expensive i feel like maybe i just hoarding gold for a while but cant decide

lucid axle
split kayak
#

can i just join the kill everytime world boss spawn and it still give me the rare drops?

#

or is it limited to 1x/day

lucid axle
#

1x

split kayak
lucid axle
#

cant seem to decide to push my alts to 1700 to get access to ark cores earlier for pity or just wait till they fix the shitty system

#

but knowing AGS its gonna be more than a year before they do anything deadge

#

tdy my alt got 4 purple cores pepeW

#

all useless too

#

just used them for gem stats

lofty kite
#

Guys i just started playing and i cant seem to fins Ino its my firsrt quest

lucid axle
#

wat

#

Ino?

dim pulsar
lucid axle
#

ah

lofty kite
#

ok thanks

lucid axle
#

honestly didn’t know he had a name KEKW

lofty kite
#

why is she marked as purple quest?

dim pulsar
#

to be important

lofty kite
#

she is my only main quest right now

dim pulsar
#

well powerpass skipped u ALL story

#

since Rimeria is the LAST story

#

for now

lofty kite
#

damn so i cant go back and play the story

dim pulsar
#

u gotta make alt

#

with this i would wait to Story changes (in feb if i recall)

lucid axle
#

ye feb

#

otherwise you gotta hone everytime you hit a wall

lofty kite
#

Yeah i dont get all that but thanks

lucid axle
#

you need to reach a specific ilvls to unlock MSQs

lofty kite
#

MSQs?

dim pulsar
#

main story quests

lucid axle
#

with the update in feb you’ll just be able to play the story seamlessly without needing to worry about that

dim pulsar
#

after like punika its 3+ months to reach last story

lofty kite
#

oo cool

dim pulsar
#

with change it will be just Story->Story->Story up to South kurzan

dim pulsar
#

no, ur current PowerPassed char wont do story

#

only NEW characters

lofty kite
#

aha okay

lucid axle
#

yeah you’ll be able to do it with a new character that you didn’t use the powerpass on

#

if you didn’t do it on your character you are playing rn

#

you’ll be able to

lofty kite
#

i just did a new valkyrie looks cool

lucid axle
#

but i assume most ppl coming back have used the story express

#

yeah then you’d need to create a new character if you want to run the story from the start

#

can be the same character and look if you want just name has to be different

lofty kite
