im 1700 on 2 chars
I mean, you probably want to do the raid besides that prize then
i finished all my mokoko raids so i pushed both my 1699s to 1700 lol
no solo mode btw
Straight gate keeper
surely 1660 cp is enough to get into nm right :)))))))
ill do the quest real quick
Chat, he doesn't know
you said you have to do nk and rim
each takes 1.5 hours
and then the actual prequest takes like another hour if slow
oh yeah we do this thing called knowledge transfer because if we want to play story we play ff14 
you need to complete it once organically to kt
not if you used a powerpass that completes it :)))
witchcraft
and the last powerpass, which is the one that i came back to did exactly that
yup
doing it rn
so goddamn long
wait does it have like a combat dungeon
cuz then imma do it on valk instead of artist lol
wait who exactly do I power pass? my secondary? or main?
main
NO
Alt with these events
Main on feb4
kkk
exactly
It's common sense on this specific day
main
Main deez
sure
How about no
when alt gets higher
just like me
That's stupid
reasoning being you're gonna have 4 days to work on the char you express rn, better to use the new express with the full duration on the char you really wanna juice up
alt
That's exactly what I said earlier and I explained it
you caught the event right when its about to end so you cant make the most out of it
then you'll have your juiced main and a half-assed alt that isn't TOO far behind 🙂
It's the best to do rn
so alt
Alt yes
will do on valk and leave aero for feb 4th
Wise choice
combat dungeon
zzzz
but like combat dungeons are mickey mouse anyway
and sup dps works now
i had to do kayangel dungeon on dps bard that 10 min dungeon for others took 40 mins for me
wait
this is true yes?
i cant cancle the quest
i want to kms so bad
the dungeon shows up on valk but i cant enter kek
Yes that's a guide and it's true
kewl (was just worried it was outdated)
Maybe we got extra items here and there but at it's core it's decent enough
Any extra items you can just ask
u could get a fat birb somewhere during powerpass
imma stop reading now cuz I am venturing into gear and stuff which will overwhlem with all the systems (and 5 more mins till its fully downloaded, yay)
Then another 5 to open
dl speed went from 300mbps to 10mbps. this game is trying its hardest to escape me lmao
God's smiling on you today
But the devil is a hot chick and it's too tempting to let the game go
So you take her hand and play the game, but at what cost
its back to 300+, thank god and I am sorry for what I am about to do
bro this quest is so fucking baddddddddddddddddd
oh..
we are online, tyvm for ur help mates and I suppose I will be relying on all of u for quite some time
come ratik
did in chara creat rn, making my valk
are recommended styles, a full makeover of my toon?
voice and etc. included?
Ignoring skins, you can create the looks and voice and have 24hrs to change whatever you want for free an unlimited amount of times
After 24hrs you gotta cash in reskin tickets
The styles are just a copy paste of the char, but you can change stuff if you want
Some styles are for show and people won't let you copy them for some reason
lets be valk sisters 
I mean its good inspo and a great way to not spend that much time making my chara when people already did it better before
you can also get korean presets from web
oooh, I have found an idol one that looks quite nice and is a mood tbh as well
also make sure to check "show only saveables" to not get scammed
nah, shoulda went gienah because arna there
shouldnt matter too much
coulda like accepted donations lmao
might do aero on there anyway lol, I am just getting lost in the Style book rn, so mnay good options. decisions decisions
also good lord thats alot of Horny fashion
I am struggling to find SFW ones
Biggest boobs in the game what did you expect
oh rly?
ye ye, I am talking mainly hair color/face/voice etc.
what are the chances, well anyway
"damn i picked the hot lady totally by accident, guess i'm stuck with her
"
I mean I aint complainin (just wish for SFW ideas in the book thats all.)
hot is hot
SFW 
No booba wtf
I am stealing that first chance I get
whats brac rolls for supp again
ty
woah, how far did the powerpass take me? I got bombarded with achivements
near endgame
huh, its stuck. reload? or just wait it out?
Seriously you have zero patience
loading assets first time probs
game runs on Unreal Engine 3, it's optimized like shit
long loading screens are normal
its been 10 minutes now, so I am confused thats normal I think
ure on a SSD?
meh
u sup?
I have found the problem my internet has decided that working today is not in the cards
oh
artist ye
That bracelet is better than what my artist had for around..... Forever until 3 weeks ago or a month
solid enough to last a while
And she's my highest ilv char
thats my two highest until wednesday
then ill shoot my bard through the roof :3
ok, so just to confirm Drizzle Aero is a DPS. so i should choose Support (liberator) for my valk yes?
Drizzle is a dps yes
If youre gonna do group content support is fine for valk, otherwise go dps for solo
You can play either, switching is super simple
even after 30d?
gonna be even easier from wednesday onwards since we get setup copying
Ofc the further you are in progression the more you gotta spend for a solid build, but early on you just set stuff up and press one button combination after
And you switch, you can even auto set the mass presets so you get into a raid/daily dungeon and it auto switched
And yes the style setting is just for the event
But mass presets are part of the game
aha, I see. tyvm. guess I will go with knight rn for the event and switch later
For now, just be completely sure to switch to both styles once
That way you will get a stone that you can use for a long while
And extra stuff
ok, I see (I recieve the items twice?)
It's just to get the items, then switch back to shining knight and then use the nexus guide to set up your build properly
Some items will be identical, some dif.
Identical items can be sold to an npc
The stone is the important part
the battlestyle button next to minimap? just switch to both and gain the items, u can use both style at any time
yeah
should be Keen Blunt Weapon/Grudge for DPS
and the other stone, Awakening/Expert for support
got 2? one is grudge and keen blunt the other is necromancy and ambush mastery
necromancy and ambush master is the one you got from the powerpass, that's garbage
That's something you got from a box from the pass
Thats the random stone the game gives you to practice cutting (worthless combo)
pro tip: you can Lock (Ctrl+Right Click) the stones you get from the Style button, to not delete them by mistake in the future
does it matter what server i choose to play?
Not really but choose luthera
how much do we think this costs in $
6k cp 
i played in the past and is there a way to restart on that server?
full relics, full 10s, full relic cores +1 ancient, maxed esther
full high high accs as well
Ye thats easily like 40-50mil gold
.
1760
Oh I cant read
pretty sure thats the only way to get there lol
40k$+
Ester is i think 30-40k usd
Are you using the powerpass?
Prob around 55-60k
wild
yes
Sidereals are cheap in eu
i just wanted to start fresh since i havent played and start at level 1 to get a feel for the game again.
Compared to na
Makes no difference to your experience if you start from lvl 1 or with the powerpass
You only start from 1 if you want to do story
If you want to start from the beginning, start wednesday
But i find it useless personally
Lost ark doesnt explain shit
i mean it kinda does explain everything
if u wanna sit through 50+ hours of guide quests 
so i cant just delete all progression on a server and start brand new?
u can just make a new acc if u want to start fresh fresh lol
na
if not luterra whats the next best server
balthorr ?
me when i lie
i dont lie
i know the guide quests
first, theres no guide quests for everything
and second, its dogshit and barely explains
actually, nineveh is more populated than balthorr
Actually who cares about population are going to sit town 24/7
I remember from somewhere that Drops of Ether has been reworked .. what do the new orbs do for the support ?
the class that bring more utility for everyone that isnt the support ones is the gunlancer right? i think ill use the current powerass on one and then ill use the next one on a dps, still cant decide between reaper and deathblade tho, i wish i could play test both, i want one with good survivability, and both look really mobile, but i dunno how it would feel playing xd
blue gunlancer yes
spawns one orb foir the support and one orb for the other people
flash orb gives stagger buff
and ap i think regen
or something like that
the biggest part of the rework is that the support cant eat the crit orbs anymore XD
Reaper is more mobile but inherently squishier if she gets hit. I wouldn’t say either are tanky though per se.
Yes they can
Flash orb = stagger biff iirc
where can i find the calculator that helps you understand ilvl
because its not crit for them
Maxroll covers Build Guides, Islands, Adventure Tomes, Abyssal Dungeons and Raid Guides, Collectibles, Tools and Tierlists for Lost Ark.
no
what other ilvl calculator is there
none
there was one
used to see what upgrades and how many of them you need to reach what ilvl
idk how to explain
its not
Thats max roll?
it tells you whats the illv you will achieve
Just gotta add your AH in seperate
then you add whatever ah levels you have
oh they changed it
it was always that way
i hate this sticky tooltip ffs
i cant math
is +10 advanced honing = +1 normal honing?
10 ah is 10 ilvl
one item level is 1/6, honing in tier4 gives 5, advance honing is the number it shows, adv honing 8 for example is just 8ilvs on that piece, so 8/6
its very very simple
so if you get +1 ilv from an advance honing and your ilv is 1660 for example, it will be 1660 + (1/6)
assuming thats what you were asking
AAAAAA MATHS
5 AH levels = 1 normal honing level
Imo the advhoning command I just make very simple
i think he just wanted to know how to calculate item levels
not how to hone properly
but idk
yeah
I think that's the right interpretiation to me too but
for me I just make it very simple
at the end of the day I'm not gonna rush +25s
so whatever i hone is whatever i hone
expresses make the math even simpler because i just see what books i get and blast those like there's no tmrw
Agreed
yeah basically follow the advhoning guide and then pray when i hit +18 +40 AH
My plan post gk express is saving to +25 my weapon again
just be rich, duh
frfr
ion have the gold to hit 1680 is this a big deal
it is a realtively big boost
1680 unlocks ancient accessories which is a major boost
and karma
another major boost
i lied karma is 1670
you do get a decent amount of bottles
but ancient bracelet unlocks the second tier of leap nodes
i doubt i can do it in 4 days
Not unless you swipe probably
I'd recommend checking to see ifyou have una's gold or other any untapped sources till
still*
non
oh wait i have tokens
and didnt tap anything
epic
should i just use my cube ticket select box and try to get gold from gems or is it okay to miss this final rewards
those gems aint paying for 1680
id just use the second event on the same character maybe
Unless they get mega lucky room....
or use the second event on a second same class and make that your main

the alternative is you keep doing gold islands/field boss/chaos gate/etc and sell whatever you can
pray for field boss drop idk lmao
maan...i wanna do HM Act 1, but im still traumatised from queueing with randos

the one time i was being "ahh you know it cant be that bad??"
it was bad
bad bad xD
i guess i could Q for normal coz that one was actually okay. the group was chill
i was just doing it for the mokoko expert token because this week is the last week, no?
ye
Always 50/50
Could get a chill group in hm and toxic in nm 
yea..
How hard is kaz nm compared to armoche nm
peepee poopoo
You’ll probably see some struggle at 700x if stagger is on the lower end
the only hard part is reall 700
Besides that not too hard
I just joined armoche nm learn for the first time 2d ago, but not sure if i want to push 1710 and try final day
werent you watching last night
if you're a fragile class you might get tripped up by how much damage normal patterns do
ie: cross and JG chains
It hurts me even as a support over ilvl xD
i swear it does max hp
Oh that one was watching act4, joined another act4 prev day
so it doesnt matter if fragile class
you can def live on some tankier classes with shielding
Ye i think so too
at least in nm
And ya i feel act4 is easy as what ppl said, but idk about final day xD
if you're in doubt join a prog party
shielding
At 700 you dont have shielding
but yeah
XD
Hmm ig arcana is the squishier class
i'm speaking of cross outside 700
Not at all

Reaper is squishiest
i've seen a couple of prog parties pop up on na over the past few weeks
i feel like difficulty is relative
there's some ppl out there still struggling with act 4 nm after all and a lot of final act g1 difficulty is just patterns like thae g3 which REALLY can mess some ppl up
mordum
oh tyty
act 4 and kazeros
kaz 2-2 and 2-3 is hard and tfm only?
probably
yes
thanks
did they massively increase the blue crystal cost of Crystalline Aura in the past year?
i dont remember it being 510 bc
or am i just misremembering
oh what did they change
100k+ gold for a month of aura feels pretty steep
but i guess thats not a lot for full rosters
there was some extra stuff but idr wat, i only use it for storage and repair
the aura feast ticket
and some other shit
depending on your bc price
mine was 86k this week
ye, wasnt that great of a change
From reading about yall selling things, is the market pretty good about items being sold? I see leaps are still worth something which is nice, but is trade skills and such easy to move and make money from?
i would hold for a bit, prices will probably spike next week since we have a new character to push and we are getting some sources of materials turned into bound naterials
Oh what's going to be bound?
can i get more enlightment points without potions
playing with a single red skill use 
bro
yeah it sucks
nah
im not lucky 
i dont quite remember, but dailies are dropping bound mats
but you get more
i guess prequests between voldis and south kurzan/north and rimeria
who knows, i shift g everything
if i want to know about the lore, ill just watch saint video 
(that i never finished)
using a powerpass will inevitably finish 95% of the quests the game has rn
is this the activity or what, maxroll doesnt say anything about a cube
nop
what is it
You need cubs tic to do a cube
ahve no idea ngl
but is the quest telling me to do that cube
It should be any

ill try
just dont leave, finish it all
assuming you even have a cube tix
and if you have a selector chest, save it for now
any word about the next mokoko event?
or just in general upcoming events with next patch?
Not next week
we dont know
but they said they will try to do mokoko bootcamp closer to each other
but nothing more than that
(they didnt announce it in last video so i assume its not coming now)
ye was hoping they would of said whats coming before the patch notes hit
but ig we wait
ok it was a cube
i mena you should know by now how ags works
Bootcamps traditionally have had some notes in roadmaps
ye
well sometimes they say some events to come in eye of arkesia but i dont think remember if she mentioned it or not
Or notice that they're voting on the new title
well she didnt, thats why i said its prob not coming this reset

ok how do i get rid of this?
Can't use it? Uh...if its roster bound you can toss it on a lvl 10 alt and delete them if you really want it gone I guess. There were some other things like old elixir stuff with a similar problem.
Or it can hang out in the back of your least favorite character's storage.
Huh
coulda just relogged as well
actually do so because sometimes the game commits sudoku and bugs out hard
how big is the difference between the last and second to last cube? should I just use my chests on the second to lastt one?
are you even close to getting to the last one
There is like 2 different cubes
I mean... I just hit 1700.
so max 1 month and I am 1720
is my guess
There are a ton of cubes based on ilvl. I would always recommend saving chests for the latest cube assuming youre not in a rush for something
Am I missing something about astrogem chests from paradise hell?
The gems seem the same as the ones you get from dailies except they're "used" already and you are forced to process to fuse any or dismantle. And you get rare-epic chests on higher floors. Is that all? Best way to use them?
You're not missing anything. Thats how they work. Tbh I dont ever take astrogems because theyre already active and you barely get any at all
should i buy the keys from the paradise shop?
^ yep
well as of right now i cant do anything as i am poor as FUCK
i think someone said that i shouldnt do cube yet bc im not a certain lvl yet
mats for the future is “gold”
Id just save the tickets until youre sure what you wanna do tbh
should i be holding on to the rapport gifts i been given by the game
i have some chests that were for the cube that i was holding onto
i might actually, but i dont know off the top of my head
If you care about adventure tomes, keep some relic select chests for a thingy for Rimeria
i can smack it but no dmg :((
i did those keys for the week already
i dont have relic rapports, but some others, should i save them or use them on collectible unlocks like nineveh
dont think i got a chest for them but idk
Not much point saving epics
ok ill gift them to wife
Beginning to conclude the same yeah. Guess the chests giving active unprocessed gems vs unprocessed gems threw me off and figured I wasn't using efficiently. Thanks
Youve tagged it as a "favourite"
Makes it easier to spot when merchants sell it or when youre opening card packs
thanks!
so i have 7 of these
I would save those
Run the cube tickets you naturally drop & save the selection chests for later ilvls/higher level cubes
copy
so idk what to do currently since i dont have gold to upgrade and i cant hit 1680 and probably wont be able before that reset
You can lifeskill with your energy each day & sell those mats for gold
Do horizontal colelctables & una reputations
Adventure tomes
i think i started doing the NK one because it was the one i was trying to do the other day
think i need to find that thing on maxroll for it again
Yea, maxroll has guides on it all
You could also collect 1450 mokoko seeds if youre bored
i mostly wanted to do it for the extra points that itll give towards the bloodclaw stuff
fuck that lmao. i hate searching for shit like that
i almost caught up to you!
nice
im gonna have a stroke if things keep attacking me as i attempt to chomp on these fckn trees
is there a way to fix the game stuttering when i open menus
Nope, the game just is like that

Fun fact, 3 years ago opening the cash shop was an actual strat to cheese a Vykas mech
wuh
You would walk slowly towards the boss towards danger but opening the shop lagged and your char wouldnt move
LOL
you would only use that if people mess up though
i want it so bad
Pick a pet
the first one

Would you like to pick a pet?
Good choice
Twilight Isle maybe?
metus?
it has a spooky dungeon
Hello sir, would you like to pick a pet?
there was a little girl iirc
and u had a lantern on ur hand moving slow
among long black hair bitcges
Penguin me.
Gotchu
Idrk. sounds like Twilight Isle. There is a dungeon where you walk around with a latern
ye
anyone has the site for lifeskill nodes real quick? I cant find it fast
What does the map do? The in game map tells you whats available in each area
yeah but it doesnt tell me the spawn points
found it, thanks anyway
If you powerpassed to 1640 you have them right away. They are called Kurzan Front in tier 4
Alt+q is the content menu I think. It should be on the kurzan war map
Out of the classes there, wants a good one to play next. I’m returning after playing on launch so I have general ideas on things but not really
Wildsoul is good. I personally really like aero. Sorc is solid too. There is also a brand new class releasing next week too, guardian knight
For tier 3 honing yes. But the powerpass puts you in tier 4 where honing costs gold
There is an express event with honing boost and progression support to make it a lot cheaper
Is there a pass with the new character
Yes. A set of power pass & express are active now and end of Tuesday night. And a brand new set of power pass & express will start Wednesday morning
I used the current one on my valk
I don’t know if I even have the gold to push it to 1700 for the remainder of the rewards
Does that event stay for awhile longer?
No, they end Tuesday. The bonus chests at the end stay longer. But don't fomo or worry about it tbh
1690 is a great place for a new/returning player if that's as far as you go with the event for now
wildsoul and aero play smoothly
i have both in my top 6
How does the knowledge transfer work?
Like I went to use it on the wildsoul it’s all greyed out
I used powerful on my valk when I started playing again. Whatever the one that put me at 1640 and had the challenge express
Gotta KT from the start (north vern) you can skip rowen but nothing else
Kt?
Oh I’m stupid, knowledge transfer
Guess I’ll just wait for power pass Wednesday and use it on wildsoul
Anything I should work towards will I wait
Collectables if you havent done them. Some enlightenment point potions are locked behind unas, bloodclaw framents, field boss
You could look into what skill runes wildsoul uses and work on collecting those if you need them
looordt..i cant beat modum ;-;
i hate half torso dude
i dont have enough braincells left
Mordum is mostly just respecting his patterns. He gives some breathing space in between attacks for you to squeeze in damage. It's alright to drop some uptime if it means you'll live.
Just keep moving until there is counter and then do dmg make sure you do the check so he can be hit from any where. Make sure if the ball is coming at you to jump jump to other side.
Use sidereal in the beginning also
Doing solo then trying to remember actual mechanics is what screw me
When I am in doing nm
On that note I jailed in g3

Mordum's main mechanics are just a lot of permutations of the same mechanic
the key is to remember that matching = life in normal mode
They really need to add that circle mechanic in solo mode I am always panicking to make to the one side and then I try to make to other and I panicked and spaced to far or I didn’t get all the way to other side
425 is super simple in normal mode
u don't even have to worry about the orbs or the rotating line expolosions
the key is to remember you have actually a relatively long time to adjust
unless you play like destro or something
spacebar is definitely a trap though unless you know exactly what you're doing
Mining close to BIS
Hunting BIS
Foraging meh
bis?
Best in slot
How get relic quality tools?
?advhoning
Optimal Advanced Honing Order
+12 -> 1-10 -> +14 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.
Calculated with no additional materials (Books & Solars) and full on grace for advanced honing (Scrolls & Solars used on full grace only). Personal costs may vary when using an abundance of these items should you have them. You can estimate your costs using Maxrolls Honing Calculator https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator
random loot from excavating (very low chance)
otherwise buy relic crafting tool from market
but it's rarely worth it
legendary tools are much better value generally
I have a character at 1674 under express event bonus, and I have beaten all kazeros raid up to act 2 for this week. I want to get to 1680 before the February maintenance but I don't know any other way to earn gold to advance hone up to it. Is there anything else that I can do to get that gold apart from buying with crystals or am I gonna have to bite the dust?
getting 6 item levels before next reset might be tough
but you can try to do Life Skill to gets mats and sell them
Also Chaos Gate, and selll mats on the market
ty Ill consider it
Use the free tappers if you have it
is the patch gonna make kurzan front worse?
it's going to be different:
- honing mats now bound to character instead of tradable, but you get more
- no more gems
- and no more accessories (I think?)
I should probably use my replenish now then..
the valk community guide says to wait for Global release, I assume that isnt of matter yes?
valk was release on july 2025 so yeah so relevant anymore
can you share a screenshot though? I'm curious
oh thank god, will keep following along then tyvm
You can also safely ignore anything related to Transcendence or Elixirs, since these systems were removed not long ago
I was confused tbh, no guide I read mentioned those. ty
I assume core skills are for raids? or just majority of content?
is there a method to fuse my already rolled astrogems?
how builds goes it pretty straightforward:
if we take a dps class
- Build 1: chaos dungeon build (engravings for AoE clear, skills with big AoE and low cooldowns) -> daily content build, it's nice to have but it's not stricly necessary
- Build 2: raid build -> the real build for your class, to clear any other content: raid, guardian raids, etc
For classes that can support, you can also have a Build with all your support skills and engravings
Using Mass Preset (Alt+E) is really good to utilize these builds without having to manually switch to them everytime
So to answer your question, "core skills" in the guide just means the main skills used in the raid build
oooh, I see I see
aha, so go with core stuff for raids gotcha (but whats paradise?)
Paradise is a side content for progression
It's a bit weird because it only uses your skills and tripod, nothing else from your character is used
So generally your raid build is fucked up in Paradise, so you need a specific build for that content
https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/paradise-guide
it may seem very complex at first, but it's pretty chill once you understand how paradise works
I already have my hands full with trying to read the guide so I will maybe put it off for now?
(also reading about builds and it doesnt use builds is kinda jarring)
that's fair
One thing I would recommend you doing is to clear at least Crucible Level 1 to enter the leaderboard and be eligible for rewards
it shouldn't take very long
you can ignore the rest for now 😄
ok engravings are not the same as the engravings screen
sounds like good advice
what do you mean?
these arent the same, or am i missing somethin?
yeah guide is showing the support engravings, you're using the dps engravings
make sure you're at the right section of the guide for the dps build
I didnt realise lol, (in hindsight that big support comparsion table should have tipped me off)
i'm torn between making a rage hammer or lunar voice with the feb pass
woah, it's night and day in terms of difficulty
rage hammer is pretty easy and low APM
lunar voice is hard and high APM
god movement and blocking is hard, failed to do it within the time limit in Front and got humbled by argeos.
I assume this is all coming with experience?
the idea of paying close attention to the boss to land really hard hits seems more attractive than even dread guardian being released which seems to just spam attack skills on the front
well for Front, having a "Chaos Dungeon" build (Chaos Dungeon and Kurzan Front are essentially the same thing), can help a lot with damage a clear
for Argeos, it's skill issue, you'll get better with time and practice 🙂
except, I also want to play at least one assassin class. I played surge in 2022 and the hoops you jump through to deal damage seems full of flavor and rewarding, assuming the boss doesnt turn randomly and you miss a big skill
except surge is terrible now, so I was looking at lunar
aha, at least its skill issue
.
how does blocking work? I feel like it works half the time only. tried to use training ground but I couldnt figure it out
blocking? maybe you mean Just Guard?
the yellow area that can be blocked by pressing G at the right time
I mean perfect block if thats the same thing
the timing for each Just Guard depends on the boss and the attack pattern
you'll get it with time
I see, whats the deal with the cursor tho? game tells me to keep my cursor on the boss?
also make sure you're looking at the boss (with your mouse) when just guarding
cause you're blocking the attack from the boss, you need to face the right direction
and the character follows the cursor I see
lots of threads on reddit saying lunar has high fun potential other than missing the ark passive 3 back attacks thing
so that means when he was dropping down on me I literally couldnt block since he wasnt on screen lmao 
sorry I don't know much about assassins in general, try asking in the reaper channel
you can only block attacks with yellow patterns
when he drops on you, the attack is red, therefore it can't be blocked
aha so red = move away
yellow is block?
what type of enemy is the 1720 guardian? beast? elemental?
Surge is awful, RE is great
High investment though
is there a guide about which astrogems to keep/fuse/dissenchant?
i got a selector to pick, is brand or faith stronger? or are they somewhat the same, does any support know?
hello everyone
Brand is stronger iirc but i would just wait to get the next one with a box
🖕
so i’m trying to plan my next character for the patch and idk what to pick
pick something that you think you will enjoy
well i thought i did that with SE lol
i’m leaning towards supp bc i don’t wanna be dps, but idk what to play
sounds like you already have your direction then, look at the playstyle of the 4 supports and then decide
its very subjective
for example i dont like bard as much as artist or valkery
but others prefer bard
or play paladin
this is what i was looking at and still couldn’t decide
look at some youtube gameplay
youre basicly asking "what colour should I paint my walls in?"
we cant decide that for you
ap is attack power right
yes
i’m thinking artist or valk
there is no wrong answer. just an answer that isnt fun for you
should i wait until patch or should i go experiment with them now?
not sure how you want to expirement now but the patch gives you a powerpass
i’d have to full level that wouldn’t i
Just wait for the patch
I wouldnt recommend leveling
Personally i prefer artist over valk
just wait for the pass
I hate the stupid animation of one skil for valk
But valk is flexible, can be played both supp and dps
Whatever you need
Also, its a question of aethetics
Mommy or loli char
Juat wait patch, it's in 4d
They also put class trial before char custom so it's better to some extent
se is technical? They're quite straight forward
No its one of the easiest classes really
Fm is just braindead
And ne is also easy once you learn the rotation
i’m on NE
Ye so you just need to learn the rotation alot of classes are like that
i also just think dps is boring in all honesty. might just be SE that i find boring tbh. it’s my one and only character

souleater out here getting battered man
Do you have a class in mind then?
you can technically experiment on another region's server with a powerpass 
preferably one you'll never play on
ooo. i could definitely do that
was debating between artist or valk maybe
oh you wanna play a support?
yea
returning after quite some time any recommendations on where to begin?
support has always been my top choice in team like games. i mean i put in hella hours into mercy on overwatch as an example
If you wanna play story wait till the Feb 4th update if not use the powerpass on a character you like since it will also expire on Feb 4th but we will also get another on Feb 4th so that's 2 powerpasses
yea i've got 13 toons so this has been a taxing choic lol
Oh that's fine then
only reason i chose dps was for the solo content
There have been a bunch of new classes so you can check those on yt and see which you want
i tuned in for very little time and played valk but was a very long time prior to that
Supports can run solo content just fine since they specifically get a dmg buff option in solos. Though ideally supports want more skill/engraving/gem pages for convenience.
does it still take a super long time to knowledge transfer?
Oh ok then we are also getting a new class so you can save the second powerpass for that
Kt is instant now
if I use the express pass today will I be able to use the new one on the 4th?
Yes
thank you
Instant
for some reason i was thinking you could boost a characters item level with that lol but its just story skip
You can with feb 4 patch
Starting Wednesday you can boost ilvl with it
Kt will provide the gear, no need to hone till 1585
do you mean you have to be min 1585 to KT further?
No
I mean doing kt will guve you gear
For the next ilvl
So lets say you kt north vern
It will give you ilvl 600 something for rohendel
And you can kt again
gotcha so i should just wait
uh, the next quest in the Growth questline asks me to try honing. I ndont have the mats required and no cluw how to get em
i have a lot of 1460 characters id like to get current
If you haven't used the current 1640 powerpass, you should use it
Do the express event challenges/quests, open the box
i did was just going to run some different classes to see what i wanted to run with
oh ok
will this change the presets i already have set up?
You'll end up with a lot of stuff, you mostly want to have the stone for both builds
can you not alter the gems it gives you?
You can
hmmm is there a reason im not seeing them on the list when i go to the gem expert?
Are they giving out a powerpass on Feb 4th?
Go to the gem tab in your char profile. In the effects listed on the right click a box in the top right
1640, yes
wait so whats the point of the gem expert then lol i didnt know you could do taht
To refacet regular gems
Bro, which character do you think is the most broken (overpowered) in the game?
I’m an old player. I’m actually thinking about opening a Valkyrie, but I’m mainly a DPS player.
?advhoning
Optimal Advanced Honing Order
+12 -> 1-10 -> +14 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.
Calculated with no additional materials (Books & Solars) and full on grace for advanced honing (Scrolls & Solars used on full grace only). Personal costs may vary when using an abundance of these items should you have them. You can estimate your costs using Maxrolls Honing Calculator https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator
Depends pretty heavily on gear, player skill, boss encounter, patch, etc. So wouldn't really recommend making a class just because it is strong at this current time given things can change. That said, if you were interested in dps valk she's easy to play and relatively strong atm.
yeah this was i was doing. i was getting triggered and exhausted because i was at 5th try when i posted my frustration here
def cast shandi whenever it's ready
i got him down to below 160. thats when i get frazzled
since theres only 2 platflorms left
which boss? solo?
mordum solo
Try to keep his aggro/targeting centered and sticking close to him helps avoid the majority of his attacks. You can get knocked off the sides where the platforms were destroyed, but not off the far rounded edge so middle is generally safest.
mmhm. i think i was just tilted last night
more so of myself due to mistakes. you would think at 5th try you'd know, but i get frazzled easily
I'd recommend using the sideral buff for g3
do I just delete all the purple and below engraving books I have?
If you aren't already
Mordum also has a lot of good patterns for uptime via counters
when tf did they install the damage meter lol thought that was too "toxic"
oh i was going to say that cannot be healthy lol
You can open them if they're still in boxes and disenchant
Personal meters were added maybe 5-6 months ago
thank you
They can be inherently toxic 
I've had league games more civil
Real
Than some of these mordum nms
Sometimes pvp more chill it's baffling
best one?
If you have season 1 orbs keep using those. 3rd one if you want shielding & 2nd if you want damage. The damage orbs scale off paradise power so the damage orbs are very weak at first
You can get all orbs eventually
& effects of all 3 are pinned here too
ok i'll go for shielding and put it on my supp build
swapping from s1 heal orb to current shield orb gives you like 10 extra cp
new acc so don't have s1
this was def noted 🙂 i just need not to be too frazzled xD
that's the guide for me. don't get too frazzled 
the value on that box even without cores is insane
it's 3 selectable cost 8 order (class) epic asstrollgems
(or any other epics)

the regular box costs 43k for a random
if you have the gold for it, which you do, i'd say yes go for it
no rush unless you're trying to do HM or have cores already
game poops out tons of astros
its only legendary
real sauce is relics and above
good for destiny for a relic core, sure
but without its just meh and expensive to roll gems for
this was such a good advice for casual players like me.
had the same question
its leg selection, not relic btw
its always pity points
hi mom 
good morning
You'll buy it eventually since its good value, but idk if you need to rush to get it if you don't have any cores
why is this a reward for the challenge pass? isn't the pass for a 1640+ character?
I think im gonna wait for abidos crafting -> get my last lvl for 30 adv honing -> try for act 4 and then probably buy it
im currently sitting on nearly 400 astro gems, theres a very real chance I'll never buy it...
Its a bit scuffed...Its intended to just teach you about refining accessories, but awkwardly you get the wrong material to refine the given accessory.
but first afk for a bit. you can berate me while I go grocery shopping for my plan
smilegate being dumb
lol seems like a pretty simple issue to address. wth
but hey, I alre4ady upgraded some gems
mine is slowly building up as i just chuck it in my storage. granted it's all low level, but still xD
its a boogeyman handing candies
and idk what to do with it
i wouldnt even go for ark grid at 1700
theres other things that gives you cp
and only act 4 nm is too dogshit to give you cores
unless youre a lucksack
Defintely more worth it to hone to 1720 to get access to HM
yea
esp on alts
or even 1710 so you have access to 2 raids
my 1700-1710 characters are all waiting to drop cores before cutting astrogems
(3 with serca in april)
I think the only problem may be if your power is too low other ppl will likely gatekeep for new raid
even though a small breeze will fuck shit up
so mom im 1710 now
you know my problem when it comes to raids
am i supposed to do anything with old elixer chests?
anxiety and trauma xD
you think i really should try final day normal and Q with people?
Throw them away. Or put in storage and forget
Find a prog/learning lobby, its pretty much expected for people to mess up until they learn the raid

try to see if theres still prog group today
oki
LA Mokoko's has a goat that helped me learn
he hosts runs pretty often
oh then follow what support gap is saying
i've watched the video guides so im not coming in blind, but it's more so of fear queueing with toxic randos
you gotta let him know
that you're applying from discord tho
otherwise you might get passed over
oki! i'll try that
if i'm around since my support is still jailage as fuck I can try to help too
does anyone have the hard echidna pic that tells u where echidna is in the mirror
not that mirror
RIGHT > Clockwise
the 100% bar mirror
wait
there was like
are you talking about phase 1 or basement
tf?
i never understood this shit so i just always followed people XD
i've always just counted
this is what took us out of prog into homework, it let us solve the mech as soon as we saw the first 2 movements
but now i just need it for red eyes on alt
oh i don't think we need it
i didn't realize how little hp echidna has in retrospect
after doing raids with 1 trillion hp
93b in gate 1
i've seen people do a solid 1/6th of that with a T skill
yep you prob skip it
gj
g2 mordum has a lot of nice counter patterns
very good for practicing counters if you feel lacking in that dept
i need to practice the g guards the most
brel2.0 is really good for that esp g2
i dont think i found brel too hard in general
on of the ones that i struggled with was the g1 boss of brels raid
g1 is just
chasing the rear
so many patterns are rear safe
the triple tail slam is one of the few notable ones that aren't
in my head i keep thinking this is gonna be like a souls game, so i try to spam dodge attacks and it doesnt work so i just kept getting hit and frozen
the other thing that kept screwing me on that fight was the wipe mech where if you dont break the shield that big ass hand comes out the ground
for shield 1:00 minute dps check you have to just jederico +1
thats what i ended up doing
i actually forget about them a lot. same thing in the souls games where i coudl summon that thing to help fight
You have some push immunity on soul eater, so part of it is learning which patterns you can just super armor (more appropriate in groups where a support can provide shielding) to continue dps uptime.
between your counter and scythe
The counter as pretty great as its a two part skill and low cd
rusted goes hard as fuck
Though a lot of the damage taken is toned down in solo mode
im bout to go fight mordem or however you spell it
i barely find myself using sidereals besides like balthorr cuz f mechanics amirite
hyper awakening does way too much damage
if i could actually hit lmao
