[livid fossil]

I got 4 garbage relics books from mine

[bold geyser]

getting cards isn't bad either

higher floor, much lower ceiling

[livid fossil]

Tbh the engraving was the better choice of the 3 chest

[bold geyser]

i'm arguing its more of a gamble with a higher upside, so it's the better choice but you're taking a risk 🙂

[livid fossil]

I didn’t need taps cause my karmtwas done

[bold geyser]

this epic corrosion astrogem worth the ...21k bid on it so far?

[lavish mortar]

Well itd be 40k from the merchant so anything less is a discount

[lucid axle]

has KR gotten anything to help with honing with lower tiers that we dont have yet?

other then the scrolls for AH 21-40

[lavish mortar]

Besides the no honing until 1580, and new AH scrolls no

[lucid axle]

[lucid axle]

whats a good ilvl for a fresh 1710?

[shadow pasture]

a good ilvl for a 1710 would be 1710

combat score tho probably like 2100-2300 range

[lucid axle]

CP i meant

rn i have him 2018 CP which is apparently around the average but idk how many 1710s have some cores set up

[dim pulsar]

some lege thats sure

but any core (and gemmies) inflate cp soooo

u can get useless core and still it will give u 100cp (well fake cp)

[lucid axle]

yeah i dont even have 10p activated yet

so hopefully it should be ok

ill probably improve it more later

[shadow pasture]

kaz nm just falls over from a light fart anyways

so 2k should be fine

[abstract dirge]

is hell content being removed in the 2/4 update ?

[tender flicker]

Nope

[split kayak]

feb is only 1 pp + 1 express?

or is it 2 pp + 1 express

[lucid axle]

pretty sure it’s just one

i don’t think they’ve ever had a update with 2 power passes in one

[split kayak]

also, does this means if i do brel 19 more times, i'd lose all char mokoko status?

[molten grove]

wtf why i dont get relic books with my fire/frost keys

[tender flicker]

Think they meant almost always pick relic books if available

[molten grove]

o yeah, totally

[hearty kraken]

is this stuff ever worth it?

[dim pulsar]

yeah worth

but u gotta calculate urself

depending on ur tool it can be BIG money, smol money or not even on +

[molten grove]

330bc is like 50k

[dim pulsar]

also depen if u just sell stuff or craft abidos

[hearty kraken]

my tool sucks

kinda

[molten grove]

jus use free legendary 1 u get

[hearty kraken]

thats the one im using

[molten grove]

that tool is fine

[dim pulsar]

well, this can also be SHIT

[molten grove]

coz that tool drops pouches so u can rng a new tool

[dim pulsar]

its not that bad

[molten grove]

its fine jus use it so u can rng a new one thats better

[dim pulsar]

thats pretty good one

[hearty kraken]

then again, I have not seen kick a single time

[molten grove]

thats coz ur 2 low lvl for kick

[hearty kraken]

im not

[molten grove]

.......

then u only cut down a handful of trees

[molten grove]

getting a kick is common af thers no shot u get no kicks unless u only chopped like 10 trees

[dim pulsar]

its all rng, can get 1 kick per 20 trees or 15 kicks

[lucid axle]

maybe?

[molten grove]

yes but the rng is more even the more u chop so if hes NEVER gotten one then its coz he hasnt choppd many trees

[tender flicker]

you uh, got kick on your bar?

[hearty kraken]

dunno, i used like 6 times a full refill

yeah

[lucid axle]

i dont think i’ve seen someone say they’ve lost there mokoko status by clearing a raid to much

but idk

[hearty kraken]

im like "wtf is going on"

I did duo with my friend

and hes the same

[molten grove]

u can lose it by clearing raid 30times or something

[lucid axle]

guess u can then

[tender flicker]

that looks like a highlighted kick, am I crazy?

its grey if you can't use it

[molten grove]

lmao u jus didnt use the kick

[hearty kraken]

youre crazy, I was in adventurer island

[molten grove]

yep that is a usable kick icon

[hearty kraken]

its not grey for me

[molten grove]

then it means u can kick and u didnt kick

[hearty kraken]

I am not logging

[molten grove]

this is a kick that hasnt procced ur kick is procced and u just didnt use it

[hearty kraken]

but if I try to use it "there are no kickable tree nearby"

[tender flicker]

like when you're at a tree?

[molten grove]

go ashen hill and kick

[hearty kraken]

do I need to stop logging to use kick?

[molten grove]

yes lol

[dim pulsar]

well YEAH

KICK -> then logging

[molten grove]

u have to run up to tree right next 2 it, face it then kick

hahahaha

[dim pulsar]

[tender flicker]

would be some wild acrobatics

[hearty kraken]

I mean, if it procs

while logging

[tender flicker]

press f on the tree

[molten grove]

once it procs u gotta stop chopping and kick

[tender flicker]

kick it in the tree shins, get tree loot

[molten grove]

or u can continue chopping and go kick next one

but u cant just chop tree and kick simutaneously

[hearty kraken]

tbh, I thought it would just use kick and then continue logging kinda similar to mining thingy

[tender flicker]

mining full swing is also an active key press

stuff like moonlight miner, essence of vigor/green thumb are passive

anything with the active tag you gotta use manually

[hearty kraken]

thats not my issue

you gotta stop the logging to use kick, no?

[tender flicker]

yep

when I group log I usually just will kick at next tree if available then log

[hearty kraken]

the intuitive thing would be to be able to use it while you are logging as soon as you got it

[dim pulsar]

we dont min max logging

[hearty kraken]

then it stops logging for a second, kicks and goes back to logging or it stops logging completly

[tender flicker]

I mean, technically stopping to kick is the way to min max logging

but if you wanted to min max life skills, you'd pick a different life skill that pays better rather than logging for being quick

[molten grove]

most ppl just finish cutting the tree and kick the next tree they go to

[tender flicker]

idk EU prices, for least on NA foraging/hunting would be the way to go profit wise

[molten grove]

if u wanna max the life energy to gold cost irrespective of time spent then hunting prolly most profitable coz meat r exp af

[tender flicker]

kinda shifting towards hunting atm

guess we finished feeding the last esther whale

[hearty kraken]

I think logging is probably the worst on EU?

[molten grove]

coz its thje fastest

u gotta lose gold for the speed

[hearty kraken]

unless you take in time

[tender flicker]

Lot of people picked logging because its the fastest. Bots also started logging so its price with fishing (botted as well) is kinda low.

[molten grove]

hunting is worst coz u gotta actualyl aim

[tender flicker]

Most people don't love the life skilling experience, so quick is good for them

fun fact, rabbits have a max tether range and stop moving at a certain distance

[molten grove]

imagine watching ur fav show on the other screen life skilling then miss coz the stupid animal is moving, hunting is ass so ppl dont wanna do it and meats be exp

like why cant u stand still so i can throw my machete at u and kill u then sell u for gold u stupid animal

[hearty kraken]

... I actually like hunting

[molten grove]

then u shud do it, u earn way more gold

[tender flicker]

^

[hearty kraken]

I am using an epic tool

I think my legendary was shit?

let me check

am I right that the purple one is slightly better?

[tender flicker]

Maybe slightly? Don't think its a huge difference either way

[marsh grove]

astros or honing support?

AH 40 is done and weapon is 99% quality

[lucid axle]

astro

if ur done with honing pretty much always go astrogems until at least full 17P

[unique fox]

Can someone explain how Lunar Reaper is heavily punished?
Isn't it the same as igniter sorc being punished for unfortunate timing?

[tender flicker]

Gotta land back attack, spec punishes missed back attacks on certain abilities more than just the damage loss

[lucid axle]

better to ask the class channel but I believe lunar reaper follows more of a rotation when enter and leaving her state unlike igniter while also having to position at the back

[tender flicker]

Bosses like turning

[lucid axle]

igniter just kinda spams off CD to build guage no strict rotation

[lucid axle]

ah yeah that would make not back attacking more painful

28%

[unique fox]

wow

[lucid axle]

used to play hunger reaper as a alt back in early t3 so never really knew what lunar players had to go through

[tender flicker]

Since there generally isn't a dedicated aggro/tank system (rare few bosses can be taunted for a short duration by certain classes), boss will turn to whoever they target with their attack/pattern.

insert gorilla spinning gif here

[lucid axle]

solo it seems fun but I doesn't seem to do much in regular raids

https://tenor.com/view/lost-ark-gif-26462158

[indigo marten]

is rosterbound astrogem cost silver to tap?

[lucid axle]

yes

[indigo marten]

ah aight gonna fuse my blue from now on to save tap cost

have 39m silver anyway

[lucid axle]

I'd tap blues if ur not full 17P

or at least have the important ones at 17

[indigo marten]

i mean ye but it is expensive gold wise so imma fuse green to blue for roster blue

[lucid axle]

well yeah I've fused all my greens and tapped blues and purples

[indigo marten]

imma do that from now, ddint know til today kek

[lucid axle]

full 17 now so debating on how I should go about it now

yeah it can be a huge gold save if lucky

[unique fox]

is this a skill for lunar...?

[tender flicker]

Ark passive (under enlightenment) for lunar. That was at 1 out of 3 points. Idk how much damage loss it actually maths out to if you miss certain back attacks, you'd need a lunar enjoyer to tell you. But its pretty much a non-negotiable part of their kit.

[lucid axle]

yeah best to ask there channel but not back attacking while having a rotation for building meter seems like the class can be rough

[unique fox]

I'm not really sure how long the shadow blade effect lasts, but it seems to fix a lot

[tender flicker]

https://discord.com/channels/212635560596996097/738178207102271549

class chats might be a bit slow due to the time of day, but https://youtu.be/Qxsj5rCL0ps?t=6662 is kinda where I get my understanding of lunar reaper

time marked for lunar

Build meter --> red skill --> build meter --> red skill --> build meter --> red skill --> build meter --> T (back attack for damage)

Using the landed 3 red skill back attacks to buff the T skill damage

And since you only have the 3 red skills on your bar, if one of them doesn't land as a back attack your rotation goes out of whack since you're not buffing T anymore/are stuck trying to figure out how to fix it

[split kayak]

The latter clause of no longer breaking persona mode upon casting non-reds is only after 3 stacks?

Surely active all the time regardless of the red stacks right

If not then ye rip lunar

When need to reposition, yet breaks from persona

That'd be awful

[unique fox]

Anyone here really looking forward to dread roar, the head attack guardian?

How do you think its different from asura or destroyer?

[lucid axle]

I'm looking forward to it but honestly not sure at all how the class functions

best to ask the class channel since a lot of them probably have watched plenty of videos of them by now

[unique fox]

Lunar seems like the kind of class you would script for if you could since the rotation is super strict, kind of made me disinterested

if it has to be done exactly X way every time then eugh

the consequences for not using shadow blade buff with your best skill are too high

[lucid axle]

lunar was very good when mordum was our hardest eaid and he was stationary lol

but yeah you can see her problems outside of the raid

[unique fox]

for sure, It killed my interest

Seems like such a great idea though with persona mode and buffing skills

maybe itll get reworked one day to be slightly different

[lucid axle]

yeah seems fun in solo but in practice and in pubs not so much

if you like a class with meter and burst there's a lot to choose from

[unique fox]

Now I just need to decide between dread roar, asura, and rage hammer

[split kayak]

Watch memo for dread roar

[lucid axle]

memo has a video for dread yeah

[split kayak]

He made a guide

[unique fox]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHz3Uljom1w

[lucid axle]

asura is insane for act 4

Just spam push immune and burst away

[unique fox]

I'm sorta hoping I find a head attack enthusiast tell me which one is the most fun to play I guess

[lucid axle]

rage hammer I'm not to sure i haven't made him yet

the more push immine the better

rage hammer is slow while being positional

so I doubt ppl will call it more fun the the other 2 opti9ns

[unique fox]

I have noticed rage hammer is super slow mobility wise and also attack wise since you have to charge for so long

[split kayak]

Dread roar is swift, so ye fast
Basically perma push immune too
Just positional (front)

[lucid axle]

you do see much bigger numbers though

it'll most likely between asura and dread

[unique fox]

I guess ill learn about asura sometime, dread roar seems really good

[lucid axle]

asura is simple

think of it like valk

but to build guage u spam skills off CD between yellow and green/blue

once ur guage is full press x and spam away

wait x I think is push immune

z might be the burst

dread I'm not to sure but yeah I hear she has a lot of push immune too

so both are quite fun as front attackers

[split kayak]

Gunlancer

[lucid axle]

I think it's more which you think you'll like more playstyle wise

gunlancer isn't very mobile but can be fun still

I like my RC classes though so I haven't really player him much

[split kayak]

Last i tried his spacebar made me mald

[lucid axle]

if ur talking about his back step they changed it

[split kayak]

Did they rework or still reverse

[lucid axle]

it's like everyone else's dash

[split kayak]

Thank god

[lucid axle]

rework

[unique fox]

oh yeah I do have a red gunlancer at 1400 from like 2022

[lucid axle]

ngl I liked it but I can see how it can be annoying

never mained him though so can't say

red gunlancer with the new rework is actually pretty mobile in the sense he can walk fast but not enough to run RC really

[unique fox]

I have this particular impression that red gunlancer and destroyer have similar mobility levels, so if I play one I should just play the cooler rage hammer
But maybe red gunlancer in reality is a lot more mobile

[opal merlin]

if i didn't get to finish g2 of overture raid, can i still run with a new group even though they're starting from g1?

[unique fox]

I thought the counter skill was so cool, but now yellow attacks from bosses gives the mechanic to pretty much everyone haha

[lucid axle]

with only a slight change to crit swift stat you can run RC issue is needing to build up adrenaline for burst

[lucid axle]

nope

have to find a g2 party

[unique fox]

alright, thanks for the help gang

will be back

[opal merlin]

damn unfortunate

ty

[lavish mortar]

The 3x shard/silver chests

[outer mason]

was that in the roadmap?

[lucid axle]

are they adding more shards and silver to the normal then?

I honestly liked how they gave the shards

[split kayak]

Where did they relocate the extra silver and shards then

[lavish mortar]

Ofc

[lavish mortar]

To chaos mobs

They'll drop them like they used to

[split kayak]

Ooo

[lucid axle]

yeah just increase drop rate ig

[urban herald]

Should I be crafting fusions to push towards 1710, or just wait and hope I get them from stuff like paradise?

[outer mason]

depends, are you in a rush to get to 1710?

[urban herald]

Not really. Just chilling.

[hasty quartz]

?astrogem

hi, is there a strategy for fusing/dismantling both processed or unprocessed astrogems?

I only remembered something about 8's fuse with 10's or something

then i would pray from paradise

btw why is there nothing about bracelets. its also completly ignored in guides

ah, I did find something in the valkyrie guide

[hearty kraken]

thanks, and where is that from?

[vast oriole]

Reddit

[primal herald]

do ebony cube ticket drops from chaos dungeon have any pity? or can u go like 3 weeks clearing chaos dungeon with no cube ticket drop

[lavish mortar]

Almost every ticket you drop is from pity

[rose jewel]

Before they fucked up the drop rates you had one guaranteed if you did CD daily

Since it's half the drop rate now, I assume it's one guaranteed every 2~ weeks

Several a week is just flexing your luck

[high stone]

Is it against the rules if I play On the same account but different Region and send gold to my Main?

[vast oriole]

grey area

do it at your own risk

[high stone]

I don’t get it I see so many alt rosters, that’s also forbidden right, I Probably don’t do it but I was wondering I don’t have the time to level a new roster up😂

[vast oriole]

well i saw lot of alt rosters getting banned or losing trust status

so its as you want

[high stone]

Hmm okay thank you

[rose wren]

its stupid anyway

[tender flicker]

I don't think alt rosters are explicitly against TOS, but I do see people posting that they get banned for "botlike behavior". Whether they really did bot or are just doing only gold earning content and funneling everything which may looks very botty, I dunno.

[vast oriole]

exactly

https://tenor.com/view/nobody-got-time-for-that-a-intnobody-got-time-for-that-no-time-for-that-nope-no-gif-10243842

[rose wren]

its like 1 of the many reason y there's that trust system

[warped ibex]

Does anyone know why I can't unlock elixir even though I've done Trampled Garden?

[rose wren]

no longer exist

[rose jewel]

Because they are gone

4th row of Evo page on ark passive is where they went, along trans

[warped ibex]

Ooh okay that makes a lot of sense then

[rose wren]

what that mean,soc

[rose jewel]

He finally got out of the cope mentality about missing them and realized he's happier without them

Happy ending

[bold geyser]

they took away my elixirs and all i'm left with is rolling bracelets and despair

[rose jewel]

Go roll green astros

[bold geyser]

watching a4 vids then i shall

reason elixirs were better than all this other shit was you could win at elixirs

like you roll a 5AP/5CritDam and you're literally done

so so so so so much harder to roll a bis anything in bracelets and you ahve 0 control over it

[rose jewel]

Oh no, I miss the RNG system, I'm only left with another RNG system

[candid lake]

honestly tho id rather do this than

old elixirs and transcendence

[rose jewel]

I rather do neither

[candid lake]

remember the elixir calculator

[tender flicker]

The rare elixir enjoyer

[candid lake]

LMAO

and the transcendence ai calculator

now i just

[bold geyser]

astrogems might be neat

[candid lake]

https://tenor.com/view/typing-keyboard-fast-gif-22223727

[bold geyser]

but rolling 100 bracelets is a fucking slog

[rose jewel]

Astro gems suck dick, like elixirs did, like trans did

[candid lake]

omfg tho

purple elixirs

[rose jewel]

Like bracelets do

[candid lake]

[bold geyser]

might be fun then 😄

[candid lake]

didnt they only go up to 4/4

LOL

[rose jewel]

And had less total tries

[candid lake]

omfg tho

the stacking pity system

i hated that so much

if you're at 2 blue orbs

but one of the other ones had a good like option

rip blue pity

and rip the purple pity u already accumulated on that person

[rose jewel]

I mean, you either did a mix and end up with bad options or send it till the end and still get bad options

Literally no one misses them

Soc is just ragebaiting

I'm playing along but literally no one misses those old ass systems

[plucky drum]

hi friends. what are the chances I can revert the powerpass we got for free?

[vast oriole]

0

wait 2 weeks for another free one

[plucky drum]

my dumass wasn't paying attention and thought i applied it to my arcanist

[plucky drum]

fuck.

wait there's another one coming??

[vast oriole]

yes

theres always one with a new class

[tender flicker]

feb with guardian knight

not an arcana enjoyer?

[plucky drum]

but yeah long story short. i applied it to the sorceress i made instead of arcanist...

[tender flicker]

oh

[plucky drum]

no i am arcanist enjoyer

[vast oriole]

well its your lesson to watch what you do xD

[plucky drum]

it's the first character i made some aeons ago then stopped and came back to try aeromancer instead

[plucky drum]

yes mom..

def learned it

woke up around 130am and couldnt get back to sleep so i was like eh why not

[vast oriole]

well youre lucky we get one soon xD

[plucky drum]

opened LOA today and was like..wait a minute...yep.

[plucky drum]

good to know. but really 0 chances eh?

[vast oriole]

yes

you can always write to the support

so they can have a good laugh

like i did

[rose jewel]

We all did

Besides

With the Feb update you can just hone the arcana anyway

No gold cost besides the orehas

And she can get the gold with solo raids, even funneling a bit from the sorc to the arcana

Then pick the express and all happy

[gritty oracle]

hello, I am a returning player, would there be anyone that can coach me through the last 3 bosses in voice chat while I screen share? I am currently on thaemine, Im better at doing it while being coached then watching a video. Thank you

[plucky drum]

yeah nah. i'm not doing all that.

[plucky drum]

im glad i wasn't the only one

[rose jewel]

No I mean we all laughed :D

[plucky drum]

omg

i am the only one

[rose jewel]

Nah we've got some cases in the past, it's a common "idk how to read" mistake people do, but it's only new players

So ofc we know the answer coz no one ever got a refund

Since it's a skill issue from the player itself

[plucky drum]

i was so excited to play my arcanist today and then saw that mistake

lmao

[rose jewel]

I mean you can play her

Just not at t4

Gotta have to wait for guardian knight

[bold geyser]

you're probably not even going to be the only one asking in here today

[rose jewel]

Today? Yes, it's not common enough

[bold geyser]

shit happens constantly

[rose jewel]

With GK release? I bet 2-3 daily

[steel goblet]

yea i did when i started 3 weeks ago

i wasl ike DAM IT i suck

and then watched a video explaining something and its first thing was like Powerpass only 1 character made me feel more stupid

[rose jewel]

That's why you ask, or read

But people do neither until after they wanna fix their own fuck up

But at least some people take accountability

[steel goblet]

tbh i watched a video about things to do when you return and it had nothing about events being 1 toon or anything

wish i watched the other one first

[plucky drum]

[plucky drum]

dont go to bed early, woken up around 130am, cant get back to sleep, so yay lets play LOA xD

[rose jewel]

I do that daily

[plucky drum]

tbh i blame my cat

in regards to getting woken up

[rose jewel]

And that's why I'll never in my life have one at home

I hate them

[plucky drum]

WHOA

hate is a strong word

[rose jewel]

I can pet them if one comes to me, but I would hate having one at home

[vast oriole]

when my cat wake me up

i just take him in my arms till he stfu

then i sleep

[plucky drum]

yep. just cuddle till stfu

im happy where my aeromancer is at now, so time to try new classes

well maybe when she gets to 1720 (1707 atm)

[rose jewel]

Such a majestic whale

Thanks for paying for the monthly server fee

[plucky drum]

maaan

i dont spend a dime on this game tho

well may that one skin that arna yelled me about

[rose jewel]

Uh huh

[plucky drum]

okay fine.

and a sub too

i just like playing LOA for the feels, but still don't agree with a lot of what AGS and devs are doing

[rose jewel]

Ags has nothing to do with the stupid core of the game, that's SG

[rose wren]

game isnt finish yet

[rose jewel]

If anything ags has actually made it better in a lot of ways from the start, but didn't have the balls to go further and call SG for the stupidity of some systems

[plucky drum]

yeaaa...true

[livid fossil]

So we team guardian knight

[rose jewel]

Are you even gonna make one

[livid fossil]

I might make one just cause

[rose jewel]

Good choice

[vast oriole]

cant be worse than db

Ready to be pounded

[bold geyser]

probs

[lavish mortar]

Hows the a4 journey going

[bold geyser]

just started watching, almost done w/ g2

then we wait for a learner group to pop up 😄

[lavish mortar]

I can drag u sat afternoon

Ill be helping someone learn anyways
And will have a few friends come along on alterinos

[bold geyser]

i can wait for that then, if you have room for a supp

[rose jewel]

7sup run

[bold geyser]

could also be a very bad archer 😄

[lavish mortar]

I was gonna go supp or dps depending how pug lobbies look anyway so thats fine
Tentatively 4pm or so tmr

[plain sorrel]

Brelshaza

[fathom wharf]

Quick question if I have a core maxed out and my cp goes up when replacing a astrogem but I go to 18 points instead of 20 in my core is that better or go on what cp says?

[cyan kiln]

Did you replace a dead stat on your gem?

[candid lake]

ss both gems for us

[vast oriole]

depends the core? maybe its better to have 18p but betetr gems

or maybe its better to have the 20p ?

im not sure if the dps calc in class channels have all the astrogems options

ok i guess it doesnt

well i would still ask in your class channel with screenshots

[bold geyser]

i'm overthinking this right? if i already have say a 3.5 line bracelet i can literally blind dismantle any hell ones i get that don't have at least spec/swift/crit?

[faint cedar]

They’re not tradable so if I know my class is spec crit I just dismantle anything that isn’t spec/crit or one of the two with mainstat

[bold geyser]

but that'd be it, right? if i want spec swift, it's +1 or +2, or +1.5 with int, and everything else is garbage?

[faint cedar]

I wouldn’t bother cutting anything else

Personally

[bold geyser]

might have been overthinking it

[faint cedar]

It does cost silver and that resource is more valuable these days

[bold geyser]

thanks

[vast oriole]

is it

but yeah i just cut things with my main stats

[bold geyser]

think the easiest check is i'm just not gonna cut anything below a stat/int

got 120 bracers to get through 😄

dont need all that

[lavish mortar]

Yea thats what I do on alts

2x stat only on main now...

[bold geyser]

reasonable

[livid fossil]

Doggo doesn’t want to eat after cleaning I can’t even give him a pill he so out of it

[plucky drum]

shove that pill down doggo throat

👀

[livid fossil]

He to groggy

[tender flicker]

Like a a bath or what?

[bold geyser]

i assume doggy dentist

[tender flicker]

ah

[grave ivy]

if i log in about right now, am i still eligible for south rimeria powerpass, relic core selector and allat still?

[vast oriole]

powerpass yeah

the selector not sure

[livid fossil]

Like i took him to the vet to get his teeth cleaned

[wide flume]

Does valk benefit from crit syn now?

[vast oriole]

better to ask in valk channel

because i have 0 clue

[split kayak]

how many relic core selector they gave out?

i only have 1 which not sure from where

then cant find the rest from the available event shop

[lavish mortar]

Yes

[lavish mortar]

1 l

[vast oriole]

didnt they give 2

or im fucking dumb

[lavish mortar]

I think kr got one for anni?

[vast oriole]

oh yeah kr might have gotten 2

[lavish mortar]

I thought we only got the 1 from kaz loa on gift

[vast oriole]

yeha probably

idk

im dumb af

[lavish mortar]

Me too

[vast oriole]

na youre right, its 1

im delusional

[split kayak]

[warped ibex]

Which paradise orb is the best for dps? Or is it class specific

[livid fossil]

They go paradise power

[lucid axle]

is being 1720 with full 7s ok?

considering pushing alts to 1710 after i finish some books

[astral root]

You'll probably get funny looks if you're a dps

Support it's 50/50

Ppl desperate enough might take you

Esp if you have ark grid or other things

I would say do it if you just want to amass cubes GR and CD

[balmy plank]

IM using the orangey ones

But you can use the shielding one too

Up to you whether you want shields or a little bit of damage

The damage also scales off your paradise power. So if youre just starting paradise and have low power the damage orbs will barely tickle

[warped ibex]

Ah I ended up picking nature all good though

[astral root]

You'll get all of them eventually

[warped ibex]

Ooh okay that's nice

[quasi parcel]

hey guys, any NA group i could hop in learn and guide me? im new into the game. used a power pass on my char but idk what to do or grind.

[balmy plank]

I can link some LFG stuff. I would recommend trying some solo content to start off. There are solo raids available. Deathboi on youtube has raid guides for all the solo modes. The LFG stuff Ill link might help with group content

[balmy plank]

If youre encountering trouble in a raid you can always ask questions about it here too

[jade briar]

I power passed a year ago. Will I be behind?

Worth starting completely from the beginning? Just to learn in the most sequential way? Event pass seemed like to much thrown at me

[balmy plank]

Behind what? Behind people playing daily for 4 years & have 10k hours played? Yes
Behind the general current content. Well of course. But you can catch up to that stuff reasonably easy

There is a current free power pass to 1640/tier 4 you should take advantage of. There is also a Mokoko express available you should use to boost progression too

[jade briar]

Thats what It was. I did that a year ago was not sure if level cap now makes that even super behind

[balmy plank]

Whether you start from nothing or use a power pass on your current char it'll basically be the same thing

[balmy plank]

It's an MMO. Progression is non stop. There is a ton that happens in a year and it'll be very far behind

[turbid apex]

hey there- coming back after about a year off - can anyone explain what they did w gems? Are they fully non-tradable now after you reach a certain level (all my gems are labelled non-tradable at 1640)

[tender flicker]

While level cap is one factor, manual progression currently is very slow until the February update. It would take you several months to catch up just to the base powerpass level. Tbh, story does not do a great job of teaching you end game mechanics/systems.

Bound gems that are given through stuff like the solo shop, power pass, gold shop etc are not tradeable/transmutable up. Its the trade off for being readily available/being a baseline of power.

[turbid apex]

What about Chaos dungeon gems

[tender flicker]

There are still normal tradeable gems

yeah you can trade those

[turbid apex]

hmm - maybe i read it wrong. Will check again in the morning thanks

[astral root]

esentially the new icon bound gems allow you to hotswap their skills without burning silvers

but they're bound to that character

[turbid apex]

W 15 day cd to change them back to tradeable right

[astral root]

esentially for instance for a valk player with level 8 bounds they could have a page for CD, regular raid DPS, and support all in the span of three page

[tender flicker]

For gems that were initially tradeable and turned bound, yes. But gems that come bound stay bound. You can't for instance powerpass a character, unbind all your gems and sell them.

[turbid apex]

Yup ofc

Ty

Separate Q - i have a bunch of alts i played last year for a while parked at 1585-1600 w tons of bound mats. Ive been waiting forever for them to remove honing cost in T3 - is honing still required to get them to T4 after the February patch and if so does anyone have an idea of the mat requirements

[split kayak]

i think honing still required from 1585 to 1620

they're removing the gold cost in feb, so it's just mats (?) and silver

[opal merlin]

?cards

[buoyant dock]

Recommended Card Pack for each Card Set _

[tender flicker]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator I use this to ballpark honing costs. Hell gives you a lot of solars, crucible a good amount of generic materials like leaps if required, and the books are cheap so overall cost shouldn't be as bad.

Would be good to start working on paradise on them to prep for honing in February

[turbid apex]

Ya i forgot about crucible being added. I’ve been buying the solo mode shop out on the for now but they each have lik 3.5mm shards and tons of leaps

Ya good idea I’ll get on that. It’s meant to be capped weekly right? I was able to get to level 4 or 5 starting it on my main this week

[tender flicker]

Even just doing a crucible to start stacking free keys is good value

[turbid apex]

How do you get the keys

[tender flicker]

elysian entries are 5/week baseline, you'll get varying mileage on how quickly you progress based on class

[turbid apex]

I had my 3 Elysian entries plus an additional 4-5 i got from corresponding crucibles

[tender flicker]

After doing crucible, you start getting keys each following week. Quality/quantity of keys are based on crucible rankings but its 3 blue keys baseline.

[turbid apex]

Ah and those keys are used for “hell” which is a sort of RNG mats machine?

[tender flicker]

You can also trade cube tickets for hell keys, but up to you if you wanna trade guaranteed cube reward for rng hell reward.

Kinda yeah, you jump down levels (rng how far each jump), reward boxes you choose from at the end (rng of course).

[turbid apex]

Im still missing the bloodclaw fragment so not until i hit that

[tender flicker]

Which one?

[turbid apex]

Nice

Cube*

[tender flicker]

ah

gotta be t4 cube

[turbid apex]

Ya i did a couple tickets today

But no gold room

[tender flicker]

You'll hit one eventually

[turbid apex]

yup

[tender flicker]

just don't x3 the cubes

[turbid apex]

I heard it was guaranteed first gold room right

[tender flicker]

yeah

[turbid apex]

Ya should get it sometime in next couple weeks then

They aren’t changing anything w raid gold becoming char bound or anything this patch are they

[tender flicker]

Uh...don't believe so? Is that coming from something you heard or just wondering?

[balmy plank]

No

The current gold system where group is regular gold and solo mode is roster bound stays as is

[opal merlin]

how to turn uncommon timber (green) to blue timber?

[west onyx]

You grind them into powder in your stronghold and turn them into whatever you want at the same npc

[opal merlin]

tyvm

[balmy plank]

Its just the standard chaos gate

When you do chaos gate it has new enemies and drops additional event tokens & stuff

[lucid axle]

is there a structure best to craft for stronghold exp?

[bold geyser]

used to be some sort of waterwheel

not sure if that has changed

[unique fox]

Whats the highest the jewlery can roll? +3?
4+ on neck?

Anything not +3/+4 is instant garbage right

[tender flicker]

Don’t roll anything below 67 quality

And be aware that accessory rolling in general is gambling. You’ll lose most of the time, maybe sometimes hit something decent.

[lucid axle]

i wouldnt tap unless they are purple quality

[tender flicker]

The bottom sliders will help you with auto dismantling anything too low to be worth cutting. These are my settings, but personally haven't cut accessories since hell changes.

[lucid axle]

id just stick with ones u get from paradise

[unique fox]

oh is enlightenment directly tied to quality?

[lucid axle]

anything 67 quality and below will not give full enlightenment points

[opal merlin]

how to deposit gold? just saw this thing

[torpid marsh]

these brackets for gold u get from Fate Embers

there's 3 Day cooldown in them before they merge into your Roster Gold

[bold geyser]

p sure it's regular tradeable gold

[torpid marsh]

Fate Ember gold is Tradeable Gold? Oo

[bold geyser]

eventually 🙂

[torpid marsh]

mb then

[bold geyser]

npnp

[unique fox]

this is worth I assume

[paper walrus]

not really

[bold geyser]

I buy them, I feel guilty not buying them, but it realistically depends on whether you expect to get enough value out of the additional ticket to make a difference in your crucible and hell outcomes

[paper walrus]

only if you really want to top rank

[unique fox]

What is this

[bold geyser]

Put in a transmutable key, and it will either upgrade it, downgrade it, or turn it into a nether key

[unique fox]

Do you do it every time\

[paper walrus]

yes

[unique fox]

oh I got a netherworld frost key

[paper walrus]

more often than not the key is better

[bold geyser]

I do it every time, because I'm a degen. Downgrading feels bad, but unless I hear otherwise the chances of each are equal so it's a 2/3 chance of a good outcome

Netherworld keys have different rewards than regular, and they scale hard. Early floors with similar rewards to hell are equivalent to like the 50s in hell

But they also add things like gems, engraving books, and card packs to the mix

[paper walrus]

you should quit after dying once in netherworld

you only have 1 revive

[bold geyser]

That's also true

You can gamba, but if you run out of lives you walk away with nothing

[unique fox]

right on

[bold geyser]

You can get a bonus revive from a bonus floor

So that's neat

[unique fox]

hell hasnt even hurt my character yet so maybe difficulty goes higher or soemthing

I feel like I could stand around and not die

[bold geyser]

Depending on the element, even-number or odd-number floors will literally unavoidably instantly kill you

[unique fox]

like cube i assume

[bold geyser]

So you need to be twice as lucky in the nether to get far

?

[unique fox]

didnt cube have instant kill mechanics

[distant escarp]

how to get this token?

[bold geyser]

Old old cube would

It's been much friendlier for a while now 😁

But yeah I'd forgotten about that

[bold geyser]

Are those wishful?

[distant escarp]

yes

[bold geyser]

That's from...either the removal of amulets or the removal of epic engraving books

I can never remember which

[distant escarp]

I thought so and tried dismantling both

but didn't get a single 1

[bold geyser]

Possible it's just there to spend tokens you have and that they don't let you get them anymore

[unique fox]

why is there an exploding crystal that one shots and has no safe area

[bold geyser]

It's been a long while, sorry

[distant escarp]

ah rip

[unique fox]

does it just assume we have to bring a timestop

and it doesnt tell us

[bold geyser]

Landed on a wrong number

Just unlucky

[unique fox]

i didnt even see a number I just hit it immediately

enemy spawn, shoot it, ask questions later

[bold geyser]

Didn't do anything wrong

[unique fox]

I had a free revive, but what the fuck was I supposed to do

[bold geyser]

It either explodes for like 28k damage or explodes for infinity damage

[bold geyser]

Perish

[unique fox]

WHART THE HELl

BRO

IT INSTANT KILLED ME AGAIN

THE VERY NEXT FLOOR

what kind of shit mode is this

[bold geyser]

So

When I told you about the unavoidable instant kill

[unique fox]

apaprently I have another revive but holy shit im never entering one of these again

[bold geyser]

Use the quit at the top when you're out of revives

[tender flicker]

something something stop when you die

[bold geyser]

Trust, we already went through this 😁

[unique fox]

I won somehow but wow this is the worst content in lost ark

just give me a slot machine next time

XD

at least it gave me 14 relic books

[bold geyser]

Sorry you got all those relic books 😭

[unique fox]

my steak has too much marbling and my lobster is too buttery

actually i change my mind this mode is great, apparently the accessories are guaranteed to be high quality

[tender flicker]

they cost silver to cut instead of gold

but can't be traded

[unique fox]

WHAT

Thats crazy

I still have all relic jewels, im getting upgrades now

[split kayak]

can it be parried

[unique fox]

nope

red AoE

[split kayak]

parry, glaiv's parry

[unique fox]

you still die, but I wonder if gunlance parry would work

shield on glavs parry is really low in comparison I think

[tender flicker]

nah its meant to just instant kill

[paper walrus]

its raid wipe damage

nothign saves

[tender flicker]

people would have +10 alts of whatever could survive it

[unique fox]

Does anyone know how this works, is this that hotspring thing?

[safe cairn]

Erin just spawned

[unique fox]

How useful are

Dont even know what they do

[tender flicker]

Freja is the hot spring event + shop. Queue up at the portal for a team battle with rubber duckies. Pet enhancement is to upgrade pet to legendary, expertise is to give the pet xp so they can be leveled.

[unique fox]

even hours apparently, I cant believe I missed the island for the last two weeks since I started playing again

[split kayak]

but freja currency can just get from doing dailies no? or is there more loots

[tender flicker]

Legendary pets can give some stuff like periodic small shield/heal, etc. Can also get small bonuses for dmg, elemental resist, etc.

If you have a big enough roster you’re fine

Could be worth doing for coins if new/small roster

[unique fox]

all I have are purple pets

I have like.... 10 pets?

6-8 purples and like 5 blues?

[tender flicker]

Send them to the cookie sweat shop or feed them xp pots until you can upgrade them to legendary

[unique fox]

I think I have like 2k cookies, next time I log in ill figure out how to use

[rose acorn]

will we get a new powerpass with dragonknight release?

[livid fossil]

Yes we will be getting new pp with guardian night

[limpid aurora]

Is it hard to play as a solo? I saw someone saying how if ure a solo u should just run away from the game

No idea if that’s satirical or not

[paper walrus]

its not exactly unplayable, but the main audience plays the game to play group raids

there have been updates to the game to allow players to push more easily as a solo player, but its meant to allow people to push to go into group raids

okay ill give the game a try, i love the visuals and it seems fun just a bit overwhelming

[rich verge]

what exactly are the conditions around trusted status?
I've a friend that i hooked into the game recently and hes done a whole bunch of shit arkesia, group raids, bought the aura 2 days ago. Read a whole bunch of different things online but nothing seems to give a definitive answer just wondering if someone knows

[vast oriole]

short answer is we dont know

but we all hate the system

[cyan kiln]

?trusted

[buoyant dock]

Amazon changed how trusted status is obtained, the old way is "You need steam trusted / non limited and enabling 2fa on steam guard app", it's now an in-house system not reliant on steam. All the info they have given us on how to get it is "Play the game and you get it eventually".

thats why im asking

every obvious place it should be its not

[warm field]

It's in the stronghold "guide" button iirc

[last bough]

Thank you.

[warm field]

I had trouble with that too before, it's kinda easy to miss sometimes.

[last bough]

i had trouble with it months ago trying to figure out where to get some fucking quest so I could just level my manor/lab up

and it was nowhere to be found until I randomly clicked somethign on the stronghold ui and it popped up

so this time i went looking in the UI first and man they really need to rethink their quest design

unless youre a lucksack ofc

are the odds weighted or even?

hey guys! I've used power pass on a new character and i can't find chaos dungeon for my ilvl

this is the biggest i've found

how can i open hiher one?

[bold geyser]

switch the content view screen to the kazeros war map

[rose wren]

change ui to warmap

[smoky sun]

Does thaemine extreme contribute to achievements the same way as g4 hard does?

[fringe kraken]

i have it opened but i don't see any chaos dungeons 😄

[bold geyser]

kurzan front is your chaos dungeon now

[fringe kraken]

ooohh okay didn't know that

[bold geyser]

abidos operation, and later...i think its "nefta"

[fringe kraken]

so i don't run normal chaos dungeons anymore and i have to do kuirzan instead

[rose wren]

yep, instead of twice its once, easier

[fringe kraken]

thank you guys 😄

[smoky sun]

Chaos dungeons are once per day aswell

They changed it

[lavish mortar]

sir open ur dms

[bold geyser]

so i can freely move these cores around right? and theres no harm to just throwing whatever i have in at the moment?

[tender flicker]

yep

can move cores and astrogems around

[bold geyser]

have a mountain of gems to sort through, is there an established best practice for what's what somewhere? there's this snippet on maxroll, does it check out?

[paper walrus]

yeah thats how ive been using them

i dismantle green 9 cost tho

and dismantle green 10s

[steel goblet]

so i have enough things to get to 1700 is it worth doing, like whats the average combat power for someone with 0 ark core stuff at 1700

[bold geyser]

average varies wildly, but to be viable in groups it seems like you want to hit that 1600-1700 range

[bold geyser]

not a command for this sort of thing, right? could have sworn it's been discussed at length but having difficult searching for it

[paper walrus]

dont think so

[bold geyser]

i'm just tryna get my grid started 😭

[paper walrus]

it do not matter

just cut everything and just hit

done

[wide flume]

Does lobby finder show the preset you have registered for that raid or does it show the build you have equipped when you apply?

[vast oriole]

the build you apply with

[warped ibex]

Is it worth to use reroll tickets on this? I'm a valkyrie

since brel and mordum have a solo mode, prob no teaching lobby

Progress up to 1700 and learn from act 4 coz learning parties dont usually cover content in solo mode but u can eventually find 1 with enough patience, just a huge waste of time. But u dont actually need a learning pt if u got koko icon, u can just watch videos and keep up with the koko can afk hw pt, just make sure u studied mechs where u can wipe the pt.

[split kayak]

Does being on ilvl in act 4 can be tough?
Ppl said the dps req isnt that high, but what about the dmg taken?
Since learning would mean getting hit alot bcause im not familiar with the patterns just yet

[molten grove]

act 4 nm is such a joke that u could do same dps as nm mord and pass it, its like a 2/10 difficulty

[split kayak]

hopefully there'll be learning party even after mokoko event ends

[molten grove]

theres still quite afew around i seen but nm kaz is a huge step up from act 4 and hm mord is also significantly harder than act 4 nm imo

[vast oriole]

act 4 nm doesnt hurt at all

its in hm that the bleed stacks really hurts

you might fall more than die from damage taken

[lavish mortar]

fall and high bleed stacks is all that really kills people

[vast oriole]

i love having 10 bleed stacks in hm

[lavish mortar]

skill issue!

[astral root]

I think act4 nm is the most imposterable raid behind aegir

(Out of the raids where mechs you actually see)

[vast oriole]

no its funny

[lavish mortar]

ur face is funny!

[vast oriole]

ok

[lavish mortar]

i kid

[astral root]

G1 is just jump rope and guard

And spotlights I guess

G2 is just a bunch of telegraphed guards

And not getting hit by shield throw/bonk

[lavish mortar]

sorry that was mean
have apology pupper

[vast oriole]

im still sad.

[balmy plank]

He sploot

[split kayak]

I see, i havent got chance to even learn mordum
Solo mode came out and learning parties are just gone

[lavish mortar]

[vast oriole]

tbh, mordum gatekeeping is so atrocious, its better that way

[split kayak]

Hopefully doesnt happen when serca comes out and ppl no longer teaching act 4/kaz

[astral root]

Mordum nm is filled with creatures

[split kayak]

[vast oriole]

it will happen when theres solo mode of the raids

always that way

anyway serca is in 2 months, you have some time

still

[split kayak]

[molten grove]

Mord has too many mechs where 1 imposter can wipe the grp even tho boss doesnt move

issue with armoche nm is the boss's hp is too low, in my hw grps the boss is dead like half way through the fight

[tender flicker]

The last set of mordum nerfs made it quite a bit easier. Lot of his 1 shot abilities just don't 1 shot any more. I did a learning/teaching normal run after the nerf and we didn't destroy an orb, lead dropped Shandi on it because turns out we can just kill it.

[molten grove]

yeah mord nm is a joke too its hm thats still hard for learners coz boss is both deceptively ez and deceptively hard if the player gets over confident and thinks he knows everything but doesn't

[vast oriole]

doesnt even need sidereal for it xD

[tender flicker]

Granted, we had 5-6 leafs and I saw 3 consecutive bombs go off, would be interesting to see that run in hm.

[molten grove]

g2 is also just straight up annoying and g1 is everyones most hated gate

[split kayak]

Is the bomb thingy in g3-2?

[molten grove]

he just means when ur gauge is full and u pikachu

[tender flicker]

Nah I just meant gate 3 bomb when you get full meter

[molten grove]

ddr is a noob grp killer when ppl radiate the coloured circle and everyone is within that radius doing the ddr mech

but the classic is a destroyer tanking 2 much shit and radiating the circle during run around in a circle mech then go in at end

[rigid lark]

Hey, is there an option to change the time of day for the stronghold?

[tender flicker]

You can change the mood, though some require blue crystal/achievs to unlock.

[rigid lark]

Yeah, I was thinking of getting a different mood, but I would have wanted it to be at daytime, not night time

The moods are a bit too expensive to just buy them and see how I like it^^

[quick snow]

I know most classes will tend to get full 7s, then full 8s ect, but in the case like Valkyrie where a single skill does 45%+ of my total damage, is it better trying to get that skill to highest possible level, like 9 or maybe 10 first, and then work on gems for other skills after ? or do i do it like most other class, get full 7s and full 8s first?

[paper walrus]

it depends on the class

if one skill does something like 30% to 40% damage you just fuse everything into that one

valk is one of these classes (but depending on arkgrid you can chose not to)

[quick snow]

so for dps valkyrie i should trying to get final splender to lvl 10 first before working on other skills?

[paper walrus]

as long as you dont lower your other gems to egregious levels like 4s or something

[quick snow]

i have 3 level 8s now, im considering to fuse it into 9 for final splender, the rest of my gems are lvl 6s and 7s

[rose wren]

could try asking #gallery-discussion

[vast oriole]

I think it would be okay but i would ask in valk channel just to be sure

Get the role from #navigation

[bold geyser]

so the only reason you wouldn't full cut literally every astrogem you get is the crazy amount of gold it would end up costing, right?

[warped ibex]

Which is better? Or do I just trust the combat power system?

[tender flicker]

Class and spec? Though I'd say probably left if you can use the swift

[warped ibex]

I'm valkyrie and I'm shining knight spec

[bold geyser]

i imagine left is better simply because it's an extra line, but it depends on who you're playing

[tender flicker]

should be left

[warped ibex]

I'm not entirely sure what my main stats are I haven't been able to find it

[bold geyser]

valk is crit swift

[tender flicker]

crit main, swift secondary

[bold geyser]

so those are good

your left one is "3.5 lines", since str is weaker and is realistically only worth halfish of another good line

so going forward you wouldn't really cut anything short of crit/swift + 3 lines or crit+swift+2 or more lines

anything short of that isn't going to end up better than your current bracelet

[warped ibex]

Ah okay thank you

[lavish mortar]

Plus its clear some of them wont be good enough early on (mostly greens)

[bold geyser]

i've seen a handful of different charts and suggestions and i'm trying to reconcile it all

they seem to agree you should fuse blue 10s w/ green 8s

[tender flicker]

If you're new to dps valk, I'd recommend trying meteor strike with x2 stacks over execution of revelation. Smoother gameplay and execution doesn't hit that hard anyways.

[bold geyser]

and generally cut everything 8 + 9?

[lavish mortar]

Early on, yes

When youre min maxing 10 costs have some value to cut

[bold geyser]

i'm early on

am i inting by fusing them now then

[lavish mortar]

Nah

Getting enough points for destiny (easiest by cutting 8 costs) is far important than min maxing sub lines (the only reason to cut 10 costs)

[bold geyser]

sorry back

it seems one way of saving gold is fusing and going for silver ones

i feel like doing that would save a lot of gold but also eat through a bunch of otherwise potentially useful gems, no?

[lavish mortar]

Correct

[bold geyser]

gotcha

so if i have a leg bis blue core, and 104 green 8s, do i just....cut a bunch of them and hope for the best? no further fuckery needed?

it seems the common cores are less exciting but it's what i got for the moment

[lavish mortar]

Personally I only tap greens if it has a +3 or +4 on willpower/chaos points
If it hits it ill continue otherwise ill dismantle it

[bold geyser]

i imagine thats not common

[lavish mortar]

Not very, but I usually end up with a decent gem if it works out

[bold geyser]

and i have a handful of purples, including 6 10 cost. one chart says send it, the other says to fuse them with green class gems, what's the play?

[lavish mortar]

Id send it personally
I dont think its worth the risk of downgrading to a blue or green gem

[bold geyser]

why dismantle vs just fusing 3 trash rolled ones?

[astral root]

fusing low odds

dismantle lets you just recycle them without needing to spend

[bold geyser]

ohhhh so if you fuse them after cutting a bit its 99/1 but the lines are....random? mixed? but p much out of my control

ugh

[astral root]

yeah they're random and usually low

welcome to ark grid!!

[bold geyser]

😭

[astral root]

i personally don't cut anything lower than blues/purples

purples i'll cut all cost but blues i'll only cut 8/9

i'm core waiting room anyways might as well

[bold geyser]

time to cut some blues then 😨

one of these charts says to gamba common blue 9s w/ class green 8s, the other says send it, i imagine since with the 10s it was "fuse for now, but cut later" it'd be just straight cut all the 9s and forget fusing?

[dry python]

i need help

[bold geyser]

.....?

think i've got the hang of it

though im modestly poorer

...i just got a cost increase bonus

on a fresh blue stability

do i just dismantle it or should i be eating the cost

[tender flicker]

Go on

[astral root]

if chaos i would hold onto it - if order just cut it

the rationale behind holding it is that if you don't get anything better u can cut it if not YEET

[bold geyser]

order 😭

i have super weak cores rn so i dont have a lot of room to work with

but i managed to get at least one good cut

looks like the max i can have is 100, do i just....fuse the rest?

(the weak processed ones i'm not using)

[lucid axle]

anything that isnt really useable

usually anything with less then 3 points isnt worth keeping

[bold geyser]

(i'm assuming there isn't anything else i can do with them at that point is there?)

[lucid axle]

unless ur just building for stats like boss dmg

yeah its just fusing once u finished tapping them

im not sure if theres a method of efficient fusing

but i just fuse at random lol

i dont think theres a pattern in which u fuse but i dont actually know

[true folio]

I want the font, but how to change font.?

[old peak]

It involves modifying game files and we’re not allowed to teach that here.

[bold ibex]

is it normal for it be in a queue for long when matching for kazeros raid?

[regal ore]

I am pretty sure no one does matching for gold raids except guardian raids

you will have to find party instead of matching

[bold ibex]

oh is it a difficult raid, is that why

[regal ore]

Partly, but mainly because people inspect the players, their CP, title to ensure a smooth clear

[bold ibex]

oh damn so if im new, i just powerpassed. I probably wont be doing it anytime soon?

[regal ore]

not really, you just need to look for 'learning lobbies' everyone starts there, don't apply for reclear or hw lobbies, as you will get denied

[bold ibex]

alright, thanks!

[tender flicker]

Just double checking, did you mean kazeros raids broadly speaking, or the kazeros raid where you actually fight kazeros? There are solo options for raids up until act 3 (mordum, ilvl 1680) if you want to get a feel for the raids and get gold rewards (bound) without having to worry about finding a party.

[bold ibex]

i assume the whole raid, im not actually sure im just following the MQ

[tender flicker]

The actual kazeros raid is 1710 ilvl, a sequence of act 4 raids falls under “kazeros raids”. If you just power passed you should be 1640.

[bold ibex]

yea it just says "challenge kazeros raid"

[tender flicker]

What ilvl are you?

[bold ibex]

1640

[tender flicker]

Work on your challenge express, arkesia tour, raids, and getting accustomed to the game's systems. Tbh, don't entirely recall your current quest state and idk if there is anything being mixed up, but the actual raid with kazeros is at 1710 which is a ways away from 1640. If its the "inherited will" quest, we'll get more story progression later on.
