i went with like a brawler class first then glavier i think.. spear lady... ill probably take another look at the new stuff now
i like spears and guns
and punching
That said, do not select a support character to solely play dps on.
what do you advice ?
just play game, farm, do raids
Does the express give full 7s?
full 6s
u get 7s if u do all "challenges"
- u get 7s from gold shop
overall u should be full 7s
u get 6xlvl7 in express and u pay 100k for next 5 in gold shop
r u aware some builds r directional to do most dmg?
If he has a t4 lvl9 then that’s what, 1.1m gold? He can do a lot on his char with that and still raid happily with 7s. I wouldnt say its super stupid.
i mean after converting my old gems they're all 7s isnt getting the gold more justified ?
thats what am thinking
not rly
directional like no nonsense dps?
wdym
short term yes, long term no
but i would say U do U
i kinda wanna just play for vibes but i dont want to completely axe my experience by playing high effort but mid damage
like only fighting from the back side of the monster
im thinking about playing solo mostly
oh shit
then its whatever
If the short term keeps you playing it’s the right play. If you’re gonna keep on no matter what then that 9 will help you with combat power and give you a leg up.
if u wont ever play with ppl its fine
Combat power isn’t a meaningful statistic in solo tho.
in solo u can be naked and still be fine
so which classes/builds aren t directional reliant of sorts
i mean not never but tell i can push a little i see the endgame and its far so far
1700 now is fine, but on the ilvl its nothing without karma, no accessories, no bracelet
with group content u beeing RAT wont do shit
Selling a gem will take him out of ratdom tho
not rly, he can use this gold in dumb way or smart way
i mean having like 3 lvl8 that are not from the event would it change that much ?
i saw too many ppl WASTING gold soo
Haha true.
some classes Require 1/2 high gem to shine
what u play?
im a glaive main what do you think ?
LOL
Control or pinn?
what do you mean wellll
pinacle
its that this class isnt "picky" cuz her cds are long as hell with and without gems 
Your highest damage is T anyway. It’s almost 50% and has no gem.
should i buy core selector or buy cheap books or gems or finish my karma first?
if u were like Valk player u would want to have lvl8 or even 9 on ur X skill cuz it deal like 60% of her dmg
It does want the same level on cd gems tho.
imo karma with selector core
I play 6 pinnacle glaives so I know. 
she wants ALL or 0 high gems
dont get board ?
soo all 7s or all 8s not something like 5-6 ratio
Nope!
very impressive
You want 4 cd gems of same level
all 7s will be fun
she was my bias when she's released on jp server
your the chair class
Worst part of pinnacle is gem efficiency.
my chair wont get any faster even with lvl10 gems
True.
no idea what you guys talking about
1700++ ilvl stuff
It’s the long term end game system.
thats gated with doing more and more raids and grind daily
Yeah dw about it.
when u can hit BIS shit week1 or 6months later with pity 
im only gonna play 1 character
None of the content you can play needs it rn
Good. I was just reflecting on my situation. It doesn’t apply to you yet.
Most of my alts don’t have any good progress into it yet.
And don’t need to to clear the normal mode of the latest raid.
good, cuz ppl dont like their bubble and move to 1700++ ilvl without doing ANY systems and cry cuz gatekeep 
never cried about it i understand it since i wasnt the fastest learner
good, u will have easier time then
I’m in the same boat. If you put effort in you will learn everything you want to play.
hopfully
new player with good mentality
hell is actually a super fun place in lost ark
my strategy was stick at 1699 and just accumulate lots of mats to try and push as hard as possible once the mokoko status ended
Make ur moves
which i did with like 2 weeks left of the last mokoko bootcamp
and then they announced that they're extending it lol
mokoko goes to 1709
But it's worth isnt it?
yes, but as i said, i pushed hard past 1700

thought it was ending anyways so i wanted 1710 to open the express pass box and start trying kaz
My main roster is lucky af so i have no issue in honing my gear
My alt roster is not that lucky and get fk in honing and also karma

which game isnt
do i have to actually equip a title for people to see it? or is there some way they check besides the one that shows up on your profile?
Well but this game fk me hard in every server
I believe that u have to equip it
equip, tho it doesnt prove smartness at all
sure, i just know that people look at it
should i just use the kaz title all the time? or try and switch it to the one for the raid?
er whatever the meta is
Highest raids you have 10x title for generally
I see ppl putting on
No Shot
Cold Snap Warning
IDK why but for some reason ppl think that title is good
is that something in stronghold or? whats it related to
yea
they arent tradmill anymore
its now pure joy 
@coarse mica do u recommend prioing the meter gain side node over 4 stones pre brel?
oop sorry wrong hcannel
lol
Id go 4 stone
i tried FM like a month when gem changes released, but you do go 4 stones
guys how can i get the mokkoko bootcamp currency ??
do group raids with people that arent mokoko if you are one
thats odd
well then yt
ty*
what is odd?
thats how the thing works since it first released
never new about it
its a event thing, read about it
being a mokoko doing group raid is not something you think of
its designed to get mokokos into raids without the pressures/requirements that people would normally have to invite people
the idea is people carry you for rewards
and you can basically observe and stuff or follow what they tell you
i see
not carry, work together
they dont do it free
lol, i see you're an optimist
if a raid requires full cooperation they will tell you what to do and how
like hard mode aegir
or brel hm
no, thats what ags said about bootcamp
or just go until the mokoko doesn't get a shape lol
yea xd
ags said, but thats not whats happening 
regardless the rewards for vets are pretty good this time around
People work together
No they don't
yeah it seems odd to me i played through all the phases of lost ark adding such thing never came to mind
It's hard to drag a bag of potatoes to the finish line so the carries work together to drag your ass to it
See? Team work
events pops in and out
i know its not universal but there are some players who actually do lookup a guide ahead of time and try to do the mechs
personally i think you're shooting yourself in the foot if you aren't doing that
because now is your time to learn without people hating you
used to try that tell the 400g carry phase came up then i gave up
i definitely dont miss the bus era
they're around in different shapes
Not like they don't exist anymore
solo mode saved alot of people minds taking your time to learn something without the preasure of wasting people time is such a relief
yeah but it's not the de-facto standard like it was
it also provides relief for a lot of people
who have little time
they dont have to worry about jails or finding groups
yeah for the fast learners and the uncs
but then u cant spend on fashion/etc
good point
Plenty of ways to get gold for fashion
Ofc it will be slower but it's doable
And since new players can just join for a carry Koko run, they get decent amounts of gold early
what raids are usually kooko runs ?
anything T4
pick the 3 highest that you're eligible for
(kaz excluded obviously)
everything up to Act 4 NM is mokoko
From echidna and above starting 1640 which is where the pass puts you at
is that not included now that mokoko goes to 1709?
it is included
That's what up to means I believe
this ^
ah, my programmer brain equates that to < rather than <= lol
you get gatekept if you aren't a mokoko
not true
the new quest stuff fixed it though
Also no?

There will be penalties for such actions.
What are you talking about now
Yes you get gatekept if your char sucks, that's kinda the norm
Outside of that you can get in just fine unless it's a lobby full of 1740s
Just make char called cute doll then make lobby saying help me, first time
learner lobbies for act4 have been pretty common and have gone very smooth for me after losing mokoko status
the real problem is any raids under that because i dont really know them lol
?lfg these exist
and no one does learners for them

yeah i'm on the lost mokokos
but anything below act4 is rare
U were supposed to learn them while u were mokoko
i mean sure? that's only 1 chance per week, and if you fuck up something, often you never even know because people just cover for you
i would just do solo ngl
If u don’t learn old raids during mokoko icon status then u honed too fast lol
well those old raids you dont learn shit
because they got nerfed to the ground
just taking mordum example
on top of the hp nerfs%
and our digsusting dmg
it got nerfed on mechs
you barely see anything because boss just melt
i can do NO break g3 mordum run in solo mode 
yeah no time for patterns half the time, lol
guys is there a way to get T4 shards i have 3mil t3 shards cant i convert ?
u gain T4 shards in T4 shit, u cant use T3 anymore if u got into T4
noted but is there a fast way ?
nope
i mean do all T4 raids, do ur chaos daily
and buy solo shop and event shop
thats all
- chaos gate shards (but these i would rather sell than use)
make sure you do your chaos dunegon daily
already did
forging is expensive
it is
but theres no real way
except taking your time
it snot a race, its a marathon
- use green pots if u can
how to get more pets?
events, market (kinda pricy), $$$$$ shop
mmmmm thanks but what to press (i am mokoko)
theres no FAST gain of pets
oooooh this is smart
just play, most of them were given for us for free
and most of cute pets are locked behind party mode of raids (old brel hard mode, kayangel, akkan)
buddies
is paladin a bad solo class?
its meh
pensive
Pala is a back attacker iirc
You can just not hit the back but dmg goes lower
that makes her WAY better
Titty paladin is the better paladin
and reliance on back attack is bad for solo play?
Yesn't
yeah for solo its TRASH
how much you like chasing the back?
In solo you don't really give a single flying duck coz shit dies anyway
the only char i'd say back attack is fine for solo is reaper
since boss only follows u and ur 70% on Front
reaper has enough mobility that it's trivial to stay on the back lol
i cant imagine doing it on another class
well, but reaper dmg is ONLY done in back attacks
she deal - dmg anywhere else 
lol yep
there a list of back attack reliant classes or no
tbh i think reaper is super fun for solo raids
There should be
But the class guides also mentions it at like
The very first phrases/table
fun? maybe, is it fun to have 180 boss moves? hell no
"pros/cons"
you've got the tools to deal with it though
sure, thats true
the nexus site?
but her fun part is to chase ass for some time not 100% of time
Yes
its not fun when u to tp to back and boss INSTA moves
okay ill go over it later
You can also tell us which class you like and we just tell you if it's or not
nightmare + disto are both really easy to squeeze in, but yeah
guardianknight, fem gunslinger, glavier, summoner, arcanist, valk
its just annoying after some time, and the "back attack" buff in solo isnt real one buff
yeah i just pick one of the others lol
Hit master or front, hit master, back atk, hit master, hit master, hit master
the ms one is surely the best for her to get
Wherever you atk you do full dmg
im kinda vibing the valk
just to play something else other than a gun, spear or healer/support in an mmo/mmolite (which i would assume to be bard?)
or the specialists
supports in this game arent healers
they are more like shielders and buffers
with some heal
but youre not healing on bard
yeah thats under the same umbrella for me 
its like THE class you dont want to heal at all
oh interesting
also shes the hardest support so i dont recommend
if u HAVE to heal others then they did SHIT and should be replaced
cuz ur Heal takes ur "bar" of special meter to heal instead of DMG buff
Bard sucks
Bard can suck me
I had to go sup coz fukin sup shortage, slotted WD out this week
So it starts off with full embers do I then just use blue skills until meter goes to max then press z and use the enhanced red skill until meter depletion
what spec?
Spec
ya something like this
Press biggest hitter, green, red if shiny, green, red if shiny etcetc
You know there's a rotation in the guide you could follow
u want to "reset" after full red skills
Bar full press Z
but he wants to do it HIMSELF

Same interaction, once all reds or most are used press X to refill CDs
Press reds when shiny again, green red green red blabla
Then back to normal
It's very straightforward
chinese my ass, thats korean at best
It’s one of them
so i guess its a toin coss between guardianknight and valk hmmm
Red spend green give
is there a community acronym for the former because thats a long ass name
imo valk > gk
yeah i go valk for solo then for something new
Repeat

Valk has the advantage of being able to sup or DPS and both are good
u will play mostly both supp and dps on her (solo dps and guardians supp)
Valkyrie is much easier
I would be very worried if you told us she was hard
Was trying to press buttons and then I get charmed love this game
some classes yeah, some no
highest skill issue (hands) would be arcana or deathblade 
Entirely different skill set
hence the clueless emoji dw
I don’t think fighting game players will naturally transition into this games combat
for sure
I have a friend who’s like top 30 Guilty Gear struggle heavily raiding in this game
Sarcasmometer broken
yeah thats what im talking about
i know remembering mechs and not getting caught like a headless chicken doesnt translate as well
wait how does this work btw
i have to build for both or
Accessories and bracelet will be different, as well as engrave books
in stuff called Mass Preset u can setup both builds
but i guess i dont ahve to worry about supp so much if i can play mostly solo
...right? 
solo raids sure
yeah
dont have to worry about supp at all if you play mostly solo and just dps during group raids
but for guardians i would suggest do simple "support" set to get in faster
that's up to you
guardians are?
until you want ark grid 

what in the valstrax
he's the "easy" one
ill look at the maxroll guides
seems that the valk guide on nexus saying beginners should go to maxroll redirect to guides made by the same people so that gives me a bit more faith in this
nexus>maxroll
true but
community guide also mostly covers grids
sometimes when i read, i wonder if this build is usable for pre-grid or not
Maxroll is for clueless pepega newbies

but one of the authors of the nexus valk guide
also authored the maxroll ones
thats what im saying
Nexus is for gigachad newbies
look, he's cute 
ever since maxroll removed the bar to consider the # of skiill points you have , i recommend nexus now
inch resting
i cant post my own char? 
No
guys which class would you recommend between SE, GK, Slayer or Valk?
Gk
Are you a new player? Any gameplay preferences you can tell us?
its not hand execution, its almost always boss attk pattern recognition
valk eziest, gk n slayer both good, se terrible unless 503 ne
i.ve played on release for like almost a year but havent done anything new besides that i like having mobility, and dont like slow classes like destroyer or GL
valks issue is its TOO ez and can become boring if anything but i would recommend valk to any player who cant hit q3 dps after practising and thinks game is abit difficult
I was watching some Slayer gameplay is the build that spam the same skill the way to play it?
after grid u go brutal impact spam or whirlwind spam so if u dont like those 2 styles, i dont rec slayer 4 u
That's after ark grid, a new system unlocked at 1700
U stated u like fast classes which is good, next decision is do u care about directional requirement coz ur list has all directions, front, back and hitmaster, if direction matters then u can eliminate based on that, this game can be giga frustrating for directional classes coz boss often just turns and theres nothing u can do about it u just miss, this is the biggest rzn why some ppl hate destroyer coz missing ur big hitter on the front is frustrating af
i dont really care about direction tbh
and sometimes boss literally hugs the wall not allowing u to hit its back total b.s
Why is logging the best life skill now, it used to be excavating all the way
its just faster thats why
Ill try GK, Slayer pre ark grid looks cool but spamming same skill looks a bit boring if i ever get to 1700
its not the best its just the fastest
check out the whirlwind build its the same as pre grid cept u use whirlwind ontop of all the other skills, its still a meta grid and very good dps.
SW GK has front attk requirement which IMO is by far the most annoying, try doing solo echidna at sub 600cp and ul see why front attk is annoying af but other than that its great
Front attack superiority
wasnt GK a hitmaster?
Ass attack supremacy
nah the spec u play is front attk since u want to play the fast spammier vers
you dont have to go the 1 spam skill button tho
Like any class or playstyle there is a learning curve to front attack but if you dont like slow classes you probably wont like GK. He front attack build has good swiftness but if long charge attacks. Her spec build is spec and naturally slower but sher has a good spacebar
there are many various builds!
one where a random skill resets and u use the same skills pre ark grid, one where your main dmg skill is mega boosted, one where your main dmg is spinning!
Gk kinda diff
FA is swift, but "slow" cus there are charging, and more downtime than the other
HM is spec, so is slower, but the skills are spammy
Also the glide during transform is great
glide right into narnia xD
left or right guys i get so lost with bracelets
Class?
valk
Id go left I think but check calc xD
in summary valk is the safest to roll coz u cant be bad at valk, or more like if u cant even play valk then its jover.
Slayer probably 2nd safest bet, very easy to play and understand.
GK good but u gotta be able to front attk if ur playing front attker, spec one watch Benji's vid complaining about delayed skill hits and flying to ur death etc...
SE is not in a good spot unless u play 503 NE and even then I dislike it even tho SE is my main, wish i can main swap out
Which one earns the most gold, if you dont care about how long it takes?
historically hunting
you couldn't do logging in t3
for orehas
hunting cuz no one does it 
(meant for the msg u sent a bit ago)
Thanks, I've made a slayer
hunting, check the hunting mat prices, astronomical
esc is rng dependent
but if u have good rng its also a giga earner
excavation*
if u end up liking slayer, look into berserker as ur next alt
EWW
( i personally hate red dust shackle tho)
Thats why you play bt instead
(Better parses too)
U only need 2 legend cores to remove the shackle or just play BT but even with the shackle, I still find it easier than slayer in that he can just burst right out the gate, doesn't need to keep stacks going then restacking and doesn't have to hit the back which is great but still gains an adv if he chooses to hit back.
which cores o-o
the holding ones?
is surgeblade dead
by dead u mean like?
the build is trash?
not necessarily
not like trash but like less preferred, underperformant compared to remaining energy etc
Holding edge + Dark Torrent or Cyclone Slash, its great since holding edge + either DT or CS works so improves ur RNG of getting a legend core for getting rid of the dust gate.
hm
im back in the loophole of being indecisive as fudge about choosing a class again
if u wanna min/max u go holding edge + DT coz u dont even need to use MC, u just use red dust whenever and the duration is like twice the CD of red dust so u have infinite RD buff
is the holding edge buff the same thing as red dust?
or is it a seperate buff that stacks with rd?
Make more valks
yes its the same buff but 20s duration LOL its not an additional buff, u change red dust to a dps skill after using the grid to remove the RD gate and RD actually does alot of DPS coz its got low CD
Endangered species.
damn
Kinda hard to argue making a surge blade over a dps valk imo.
i already have a valk
Make more valks
why play surge when re is broken since a year

is re even top ten
Gem share op!
like there are giga broken classes like emp and bk
its not iirc
i dont care about meta i want to have fun playing it
but its because 96% of re players cant play it
if you liked t3 surge
surge is still the same
like literally nothing changed
i dont think kaz is that good for db tbf
That's why I play slayer 
ferality isnt triple S tier anymore 
Just play ferality
if its not quadruple s tier i dont want it
Then play emp
I think pba is up there anyways
power crept
at least the highest dps class is also the hardest class to pilot
a step in the right direction
anyone else having heavy stutters in game
changing to FSR/DLSS does nothing, its only when a new mob appears or so that the game needs little time to load and it explodes
Something something newest nvidia driver update borked with this game
or windows
I'm assuming this is a new problem?
been like 2weeks maybe some had problem with nvidia latest
Did u even check whether its cpu or gpu bottleneck
also its close to reset day, so it maybe fixed...
surely
I logged into my 1460 old forgotten alt, it gave me +13 relic gear, so to progress now I just go do the blue quests ? It is sending me to Elgacia atm
is the story still just as long as it used to be ?
Yes you dont hone until 1580 anymore
Or rather you cant hone until 1580 they'll just give you get like that
should i do the growth missions ? or do you just do the story and then it gives you gear, which will auto complete the mission
i can get points by doing the missions or it says if i get to 1475 then it just instnatly obtains max points
so if i can get to 1475 by just doing story then i guess thats easier
Theres also a powerpass if you wanna use that
ive already used it
Oh alright
hmm i actually went to stronghold and knowledge transfered Elgacia I think that might have actually fucked it up. The Knowledge Transfer completed the quest, but in Growth it didnt complete the mission for the quest :D
what lvl should i push enlightment to? 21? last time i heard 6 but i'm scared they might have meant rank6 lol
yes it is rank 6 for all three of them you strat with rank 1 leap then rank 6 enlightenment complete rank 6 leap
and then lastly eventually rank 6 evolution
i dont think there are many ways to get processed ones, you are gonna prob have to use gold
karma is a huge gold sink
think over a million gold :D
like halfffff a million
im a big processed stone hater i would use them when you have them but i woudln't rely on them
it is just slowly over time
its less than that now since they went from 1100 per to 900 per
i had more fails using processed

make sure you just have enough to max out the last node
getting level 6 enlightenment isn't that meaningful if you have all of the enlightenment pots
without violent waves breaker is really ass...till ark grid i'm kinda cooked without that :/ guess i'll have to make an alt army again, it's so annoying to have such big gold issues, i just spent like 4 hours on a row cutting wood and i'm still here
i have 0
its just for teh weapon power at that point, because the one loose enlightenment point isn't useful for anything
then you're signed on for 6-21 😄
how long does it take to get the pots instead?
it's rng
probably better to get pots asap
pot from bloodclaw is rng (cube, dispatch, sevek)
the only difference is if you're missing pots that last point is actually meaningful
sevek has pity but i frgot the pity is for both pot and bloodclaw or just 1 
if you have everything you can stop at enlightenment 5 until you do everything else
the worst potion is the bloodclaw yea, the ship is the worst part :D
for me at least
same
on my alt roster ive been waiting for the ship for months i cba to check it myself D:
i wait for other ppl to ping it but i am never online when they do 💀
it's an mmo, cant just speedrun it
anyway, my alt is already 1585, turns out you just knowledge transfer through all the story and equip new gear
yep you can speedrun it
mastercard
which is what i'll do
yeah but if i have gold i can just use destiny stoens considering i have like 6k destiny stones
but most of it is just starting setup, a lot of "chores" you need to get done once
i have enough mats to pity till 1710 but not enough gold to reach 1700 like (?) wtf
and then you are good
even if you spend million dollars a person who actually plays the game is gonna be better
we can see after all gems are lvl10
cause there is a cap, once u get rank 6 you get more only with pots
everyone gets rank 7-8 gems for free now, it aint that big diff to have 10s
sorry i just tilted, my bad, i'm just annoyed by the constant chore of gold, it's never something else...now it's pots but i need pots cus no gold not for some weird reason, and since for work i can only play at night nobodys doing sevek etc...imma go read maxroll
idk man i think full BiS setup with full ark grid would 1 click anybody that's not with his gear, maybe i'm really wrong
you literally cant pay for ark grid
you get that for playing the game
it needs gold after you get the stuff from raid sure
but you need to play for a very long time that cant be sped up with money
i have a roster lvl82 in front of me 1755
i have a feeling he paid
just really really really really really good
so ? he still had to play the game if he has ark grid and he still had to go get his potions
skill pots too
paying will make the progress faster but u are skipping the part that is supposed to be fun, actually playing
roster lvl82 man it's less than 150 hours
that's untrue period unless you have gold etc from your accs
oop
ive literally juts done it recently i got a 1720 alt roster, just made a brand new account
well where did you pull the gold out of
and you can get to that super easily within 1-3 weeks playing casually
could be an alt roster guy
unless you simply quit and waited for next weekly and it was 20hrs spread over a month

im not sure why we're arguing about it
it's not an arguement i was just annoyed that with 20 bucks i could get everything done which is what i'll probably do
sure go ahead if u think so :D
certainly what smilegate wants
If were just debating stuff can we move it to #general-chat or #lost-ark-discussions so we can keep help chat to questions?
20$gives you barely anything
buy the lost ark pass and then the hyper express for 50$ and that mby can give you smth
but you will still need to do the raids for ark grid and get your potions
and you wont still have your rank 6 karma
then i'll do 100$, i can pity to 1710, i'll prolly get like 1720 with just buying some damn gold...instead a person that is just taking his time will have to wait like 3 months to get to 1720. it's annoying nothing more, and sorry for bringing this thing up i just kinda tilted at it after many hours of wood cutting that got me 2 hits and now again i need another half million gold to get my damn violent waves
rushing to endgame is just stupid if you havent done the raids before, you are literally just paying to have less content, but you do you i am done :D This was you will burn out by doing the latest 3 raids over and over and quit in a month
the treadmill is the game, if its not fun to you you don't have to force yourself through it
Would anyone mind checking full on grave avg cost for 21-30AH for me? Mobile site for maxroll isn't loading very well...

I offer puppy pics as paymebt
Thx!
2.6mil shards... 💀
its not that bad but if ur pushing a character u just expressed its gonna be a while 
how to finish this?
what item?
and did u do kayangel yet?
1540 abyssal dungeon
Yeah was hoping to try for 1710 for next week but not happening xdd
can i do it solo?
if you're eu we can prob try to make a group...at this time in the night almost nobody is on
@minor grail ayo?
i dont know anything about the mechanics, i will see guide for it
my friends say its very hard.
i believe you only ever need to know the very first major mech in gate 3
the rest can be carried
Correct
and honestly you aint learning shit when a bunch of steroid users are killing the bosses in seconds
i dont
apart from gate3 it's chill, maybe watch out for gate2 colors since i don't know if we'll get good teammates or robotical ones xd
is it better to sell materials like lumber or make abidos stones and just sell those?
Depends on market and stronghold setup. Can check on sites like https://loa-buddy.pages.dev/crafting
Make sure to set to region and hit the refresh
thank you
I was using this but wasnt sure if it still worked
it's rare that making abidos wouldn't be at least a little profitable, otherwise people would stop making them, its not like you can harvest them off of a tree
but it can and often will be that it's not necessarily worth all the extra legwork when you might gain very little for it
la-tools works, but I'm too lazy to manually plug the stuff in
i have an old gpt that i use, but it takes some configuring to keep it from making things up 😄
like lifeskilling itself isnt worht the leg work?
spending the gold and the time to craft the abidos. it's not cheap
It can be a chunk of gold to get a good structure/outfit setup for stronghold crafting
you also gotta work on getting legendary pets and training them to get the right abilities
which can be a headache
welp, kinda took the sails out of the lifeskilling ship hahaha
Preferably, but the pets portion is not gonna make or break anything
You can just sell the materials as is if you don't wanna fus with all the extra stuff
just do it whenever you can (2-3 days which is when the bar refills fully), its free gold for some minutes
yea I have a bunhc of this stuff
Pick a lifeskill you prefer. A lot of people do logging since its the fastest to burn life energy with a partner
Or you can pick for highest gold return, whatever you wanna go farm
Speed logging
Value hunting
Braindead fishing
alright so TLDR making abidos expensive so just sell materials
or you can do mining and hunting, cause they are next to each other and so you will burn energy faster
while moving from mining nodes you can hunt
thats my personal favourite
and iirc there are some good world tree leaves rewards, so if you want those you need to do all professions
not sure if any of them were important for power level tho
Not really important for character strength, but the improved charms are nice for more gathering loot
how lucky did i get
Can i turn Normal bound gems into brilliant gems?
No
Depends on how much crit rate matters for your class
breaker bk...:/
Should rr the str if you can either way tho
Pretty good roll since you can shift off keen sense into limit break
fr?
Str is considered a filler stat. Like it's better than vitality maxhp etc, but there are better damage lines
what would be a godroll for brawl king?
Crit Spec Crit+CritHit CritDmg+CritHit -CD+Outgoing would be 
why my valk do solo raid faster than my other classes? with same gs same cp
does valk got buff or wht
or it's just normal
Valk is simpler to play for decent output
You may just be far worse on your other classes
so she bad for long raid?
as long as you're a spec + crit guy, yuge
good thing long raids dont exist 
True supporter is crazy strong is the main reason
everything dies in like less than 5 mins unless its tfm

She's decent regardless. But may feel short in very high uptime fights where you may feel downtime which are very few raids at the moment. We're way stronger than what the raid requires for solo raids.
its fixed for keys below 1730
okk
after reading this i did like 5k tries on bracelets no success lmao
well maybe one day
getting a super bis 5 liner is very rare
a lot of people just settle with a solid 4-5 liner
also you get to actually adjust your aim for your big surge for valk
why cant i use 1620 box
Why is solo echidna for the event so hard
Is up to your ilvl
I cant do the first boss of mokoko express
Why is the 1620 box grey out when I am 1610 and can’t craft wepon
The box req is 1620 and your ilvl is 1613....?
You need to be 1620 to open the 1640 tier 4 relic gear
But every thing 19

Go buy it
By craft weapon do you mean you have a brel weapon still?
Visit Wavestrand Port in East Luterra, find the Gear Merchant and buy the Akkan weapon
Wavestrand port
There are tabs to buy individual peices of gear
Am i missing something, i powerpassed my wildsoul to 1640, and selected it for challenge express. But its way to hard, i cant even do 80% of the bosses health
Well you have a fresh char with probably the absolute bare minimum on it
If you're new to the game there is probably a normal skill issue as you learn
Any guide on how i should progress after powerpassing

Which spec are you? Ferality kinda has a rotation/grouping of skills, pba is is about cycling skills while in form
idk how ferality is without wealth runes
Phantom, i’m doing like 20mil dps, could only get it down to 200health bar. Like valtan from last express was lime a few times easier than this
Also is there a guide on how to play this event, like i dont have enough mats to tap even once
After powerpassing

Deathbois zero to hero is him making a new account with similar events and pushing very far
You pretty much gotta clear bosses and stuff in the event for the mats
Not a guide but it can be informative
Check other things too like light of salvation card set
Lv 70 from the completed challenges
skill points runes misapplied ark passive
I figure nexus would cover that
But good point
if all else fails, take off the boxing gloves
decided i'm gonna use it on my valk
I wish style customization accounted for potions
so i gotta grind her up to 1640 🥲
Such a good class in terms of progression
Just needs lv 70 and ark tour skill points
...wait it doesn't?
thats awful
It doesn't no
I was missing my entire ass 4th node
And a point in 3rd node
Our ark grid is also just basically
"Do more of what you were already doing"
dont hate that though 😄
It's honestly a benefit in my eyes
Also flexing support is so goated on this class
We have burst on dps for HW
Healing on support is nice during prog
It was REALLY good in kaz prog for nm
Afk brand is pretty nice too
The most real downside is that we're not bard and mana issues
And you can play support during droughts or whenever
Seraphic Leap is also really useful
You cant always rely on it but it is fun to book it if it lines up
thats a lot, haven't really done supp on her at all, will have to give it some practice 🙂
Honestly if you still have a raid to prog do it on supp if you can
I almost exclusively progged on support
My biggest issue with support valk is probably leap cd, but I guess that'll improve somewhat with higher gem level
kinda hard to rotate ap buffs compared to other sups
Even opening with oath, the cds are kinda tight
With stream relic 3 (no rock) and cd7s it's pretty tight yeah
But I think it's part of the charm imo
rock for stream is just mana regen, isn't it?
I think in particular id have that be tight instead of having to worry about mr slinger in fucking narnia
Oh yeah I forgot my b
fair enough
I thought it was mana and cd*
The recent buffs fixed a lot of my mana issues
I feel like everyone hates our DR but I really like it
It feels very impactful
I like how it feels, but tbh idk if its any better than the others lol. Sometimes you gotta throw yourself into some meter gen pattern or bleed stacks when other classes can stay a mile away.
It's definitely got huge downsides yeah
Like sure I can go save that guy from armoche pokey pokey, but I'll tank like 5 bleed stacks with him
I love watching bleed stacks in that fight
I need uwu to also track healing and mitigation logs like fflogs does for ffxiv healers
Mitmaxxing
prob hard to beat artist/bard on that
Yeah
Is there an up to date daily/weekly checklist or is the in-game one in the escape menu pretty good
Do you have 2 acce-brace set
I considered to delet bard and make valk
But dps valk has calibur so i want it too

I think the in game is decent especially since they added paradise to it. Though it won't track stuff like buying from solo shop or guild shop.
I do. My support bracelet is a bit better. My support accs are definitely better
I have basically high lows on support minus earring which are just high wp%
So needed to invest in 2 sets
I got extremely lucky with paradise

You can cut stuff from paradise, that way dps/sup are both useful
It's a bit more mental work to cut for two seperate specs for bracelets
I keep 2 sets, but dps is worse. No biggie, thats the flex set.
But honestly it makes cutting stuff more fun
Feels more rewarding
And honestly just having to do bracelets/accs and not having to do elixirs is a godsend
(I am not optimizing ark grid for either spec)
Hmmge
?paradise
If you still have the express avaliable to you
The paid premium one basically takes care of the ACCs part
The bracelet is an okay starter imo
Dual spec for free is not too bad
The annoying part is how I have my cards and skills setup
I have four skill presets (Supp, Dps, Cd, paradise)
8 card sets
One day they'll fix the copy thingy
4 support sets and 4 dps sets
We have to reintroduce KLC and MoS once NEW GR pops out too
we're doomed if they add water
Please dear God let them not add water
My only other complaint is
If you assign mass presets to a raid
You'll show up in applications as that preset
But the party lead will only see your current set
So you can apply as dps but will show up as support if your mass preset is set for that raid on supp
That's more of a me issue than anything inherently wrong with Valk itself tho
If i unlock a 3rd page for skill preset, is that going to be applied to every char I currently have/and will have?
it used to be like that, it just changed this update patch
Equip pages too? (Not that it's needed but Im curious anyw)
Equips are per character. Gems, skill pages, ark passives...character. Cards are roster.
My character started level 70, is this normal?
with a powerpass and an express event, yes
Isn't it better to start without a powerpass, to actually experience the game?
Up to you, but mostly if you enjoy story. Leveling and normally progressing isn't great at teaching you actual end game systems and combat.
It'll be basically all solo up until the powerpass level as a heads up
That said, if you'd prefer to do it that way, the most recent patch makes that a more viable option.
Thank you! I'll just stick with the powerpass then.
Can you get cards from solo mode raids, for lower legion bosses like valtan?
Yes

What content gives leapstones?
I feel like I earned 20 of them and I did chaos, guardian, and 2 solo raids
the one they give you (light of salvation) is the one you will use basically forever
these right?
indeed
is there any solo raids i can do on my paladin?
need to make some gold before the weekly reset
of course - just look at "solo content" menu same as your aero, except you have lower ilv raids i.e. vykas brel valtan (kayangel unlocks 1540)
but paladin doesnt deal any damage? lol
paladin has a dps build
and take the true supporter buff, it increases your damage by a alot
oh i had no idea, i'll check community guide. thanks
solo is tuned to be easy as well so even if your build is not "max" like the web guides, just a standard dps paladin build will be more than gucci to clear solo content
chaos gives bound leaps, raids give bound leaps too, and only source of tradable leaps is field boss and embers
i was killing him before he turn into a ghost and got wiped again and again lol
ugh do I really have to do chaos on every character
going to have to
leapstones are bone dry
maybe I should skip guardians
but they're char bound
how on earth are they cheap
chaos still good if you need to do raise the char
seems like no way to get leaps thesedays
i just do it whenever it has rest bonus
they r literally down even after the daily changes
where u "get less"
1k leaps only 17k g lol, thats cheap asf
give me cheap fusion 
speaking of fusion special mats, whats best way to use? Adv. hone or normal hone?
?adv
chaos and field boss
?advhoning
Optimal Advanced Honing Order
+12 -> 1-10 -> +14 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.
