heyo is there a blunt thorn calculator
as long as someone is alive and kills the boss, everyone gets rewards
ok thanks so swapping them 2-1 is not really worth then
if someone disconnects and doesn't reconnect before the boss dies, they dont get rewards and don't get a re entry ticket, effectively "jailing" them from the raid for the week
is there any other sources of shards I'm missing other than Chaos dungeon raids hell and market?
solo vendor me thinks

Odds are you'll be shard starved at some point on a new character unless you've hoarded stuff.

?BoundOreha
Why can't I craft Oreha? I have all the materials!
You don't have the correct type of gold. To craft tradeable items (including Oreha), you need to pay the crafting cost with Unbound gold. The alternative way to craft Orehas with Bound gold is to unlock the farm at Stronghold level 10 and craft bound Orehas with the farm materials.
-# You can check what activities drop unbound gold with ?gold

can anyone tell me what skill the pledge of salvation core from Supp Valk refers to? cant find any skill with the name mentioned
ask in valk class ch too
thanks i will, didnt know there was specific class chs
its an ark grid core
i know, im asking about what skill activates it
cuz theres no skill with the name "Grace of Salvation"
ah i see, some error on the text then, on the core i mean?
ye
quality translations once more 
Who needs to fix typo translation errors just ship it
u have to wait several mintes on server select before entering game with those on
generally dont use, explain in pin
can someone please explain G mordum break and duel? the guide is stating perform 2 "guards". what am i missing?
2 guards when he flashes
the video isn't really helpful it looks like they are just standing in the spot
crash/etc
in solo its just Stagger -> cutscene -> 2 guards
yes but what is a "guard"?
all raids "flash" yellow, some are FAST G click, some are delayed
gliches

u dont want them
u dont even need 4gb Vram
u might see random bugs, insta crashes (insta quit game) or some other weird shit
with my current setup its whatever if i have them or no, its 1-2s margin on some raids
The prompt is when the boss glows yellow or when it a yellow telegraph with waves
It doesn't specifically tell you what to press tho
Oh wait

No i didn't scroll down so I thought it wasn't answered
its not a clash

you are forgiven


um what? boooo
someone had a higher item level when regions merged
did it count item level even?
or just the char created first
because i remember stoopzz lost his valk name
and he was high ilvl
yeah think so
rip
first create,lvl
but yeah theyre lost
huh, seems like all my characters were just brought up to 1250, even if they were way lower
KT?
knowledge transfer
ah dunno how to do that
no honing before t4 anymore either, a powerpass exist whoever u main to spent on
how do i submit a ticket or contact customer support for lost ark?

whats the issue, sometimes its just something easy and we can help
and he was never seen again
A portal to enter will open on the hour. If enough people que up it'll start
are 2 people enough
the usual is 4+
Probably not, but it's region wide so people on other servers might be doing it too
always was
its 5am not 3am
but yeah islands are dead af
aint helping the case
i have the tendency to do things extremely late irl
should play on na xd
trynna q behemoth at 7am in the morning
tell the rest of the normal population to do so as well
bad sleep schedule
unironically i was on NA
shouldve stayed
na
why not
the only reason i was on NA cuz i had exactly 2 (two) friends that were playing with me from time to time
and now i have none 
theres a possibility of it being fixed
if that happens playing on NA is rough
giga rough if i had a job
I always wonder if EU is more toxic than NA on average
in what regard
Gatekeeping, ppl flaming, etc
i dont feel like in a position to have an answer to that 
im guessing its the same
we dont have the vaigrys situation
but europeans are pretty toxic toward each other from what ive observed online
but
i dont really see toxicity ingame personally
so idk
gatekeeping is the same everywhere
I see more toxicity in 1680 brackets
i dont find it toxic personally
i'd imagine people get toxic in chat if you purposefully dont do what youre supposed to do or something
yeah im not on those brackets so i couldnt know
But I lowkey also do raids pretty early morning in NA
its like league, the worse you are the more toxic the environment
So i wonder if thats alt roster toxicity
whys the toxicity in that bracket its just the beginning
rice farmers have a crap ton of alt rosters in the 1640-1680 range
since its easier to hone there
^
Support uptime is piss in this bracket too
...there has to be a better name for that
I think i saw a hm mordum where ppl were screaming in viet
the koreans came up with the name after all
this is a real thing that happens in different games
people just make income thru selling gold
ive been in a ton of HM ech groups that are half...filipino i think?
yeah countries that have fucked up economy tends to do that
Honestly it was super entertaining to watch this pt rip into this bard
had a bud from venezuela that earned way more farming rune than going to a job
For having broken gear
yeah same with2 egyptians i know
... I gotta hone outta this bracket when I finish supp books
anyone have link of optimizer astrogem ?
ty
is this new?
i believe so
also they gave a free anni weapon skin box
for comp is that supposed to be tradeable ?
inventory search has been out for a while hasnt it
no
it was bugged and they made it untradable again iirc
that was one goal of the maint
i just got one from universal storage that was tradeable
can you test you can actually put it in market

might be visual bug
i alr sold it lol

Maintenance to fix bugged tradeable wep, compensate tradeable wep?
i have no clue ngl

isnt it that then
because mine isnt
smh p2w wins again
exploit early exploit often
The American way
why does this 6-year-old have a link to buy her a coffee

poyo is 6
also neat tool 
i love poyo's guide
he/she dumbs it down perfectly for me
they basically all do the same
my issue is strictly lack of gems ๐
well, and cores
...and gold
but i have everything else handled
Am i
this is my trust right
2 more points and ill have my second 17p 
10 million zimbabucks
No
i did do that
i sent a screenshot of mine not being tradeable

fpm 
pretty sure its been fixed
i mean game is optimized with the ass
sooo
personally, i have more fps with compressed numbers
BUT AGAIN, MY PC IS ASS
look making slayer and valk ass look so good gotta come with some sacrifices
to fix it, i would need to buy new parts
and im not doing that in this economy
oh
xd
well would need to remove eac for that
remember the30gb update? 15gb for each slayer's tiddy
very worth and noble sacrifice
Did sev always give gems
ye
Hmm ๐ค
was it chaos gate or boss that always gave gems
Wb
but i forgot
lol cleaning out mailbox had ๐ in there cause I guess inventory was to full 
idk what they're using, that screenshot of that place is old ass
asking for a friend - what does the new player experience look like nowadays? Do they still need to go through the full level 10-50 world quests?
go through luterra, tortoyk, arthertine, and north vern?
does tl uses eac
you can use power pass even before any characters have played through the game?
yep
no need to hone, but still need to do all story
I remember having to go through all of those before you can power pass
its aroudn 30+ hours btw
okokok that's what I figured
dont need
30 hours? I thought it was closer to ~10
you cna powerpass, theres no limit
You can power pass without doing story
anyone can use it
theres way more continents now
im guessing last time you played was feiton or punika powerpass
theres like 10 regions after this
You can use the free event power pass to skip all story and get to the start of endgame. Or you can do the whole story. Almost all of the grind was removed from the story, Tier 1 & 2 dont exist anymore and only the very tail end of tier 3 gear exists. You get free sets of gear as you finish story continent
you need to have done the story once (or powerpass) to be able to kt
why canโt the gem dude up grade lvl 1 t3 gems
Because gems go -2 levels to upgrade
Ah
c'mon u cant be like this lol, tho could try falling the system to get lv4 1s i guess
yes rn powerpass pop right after u pick a class lol
very interesting
Okok so right after character creation, you can use the power pass and skip story?
yea totally forgot about it
yes you know how powerpass work then yes it is
tried to join the disc when when we talked earlier and found out im already here
just replied late lol
I hit reply and didnt reply
I just thought I remembered back on release I had to play until I hit level 50 or something before I could use power pass on any other characters
does anyone know if its cheaper to hone my current 23 wep to 24/25, or should i wait to swap it to the new gear? I think 23 -> 24 = +2 hones on new gear
i mean they 20 hrs questline
suc anyway
adv hone right? just got to 1690 now
Waymark missions
Give you mid/lows
ah right ty
its kinda your choice but it wont be cheap with the new mats for sure
Waymark will give you accessories for each breakpoint no need to even enchant them
yeah i have enough mats saved up to def get at least 24 even if i pity. i wanted to calc using the maxroll calc, but it bugs out when i select kr
now i cant access it at all
the kr option for their upgrade calc
Send your uwuowo
But prob ark grid
gems ๐
those books are whats making me feel trapped, it's so hard for me to buy more than 1/month lol
Yep books and better asstrogems
realistically are books not scammaz as fuck tho until they drop way more
No
(i donโt actually know)
what about despair
People are talking about gatekeeping people lower than 3.5k cp for serca btw
i alrdy have 3 friends ill be doin serca hm with at least, so dont have to worry too much bout that
Ah then youre fine
itโs okay cus since itโs 4 man raid easier to find 3 other rats
as opposed to 7
i mostly was wondering if its worth it to hone wep cause ive been stockpiling mats for months now
or jsut wait till the serca wep swap
You wont get weap till a while
is that low or high? i stopped playing about a month before voldis came out
and came back last sept
once you get the gold roster border who gaf what roster they are
tf 262 is low then mine might as well not going pug 
well 250 was a rly high roster level during akkan at least
if u quit at voldis thats like 1,5y of gametime, thats BIG 0 roster xp zone
u cant simply gain this time
i came back at 261, now am 308 - thats 7m DAILY grinding 12chars btw

you'll find out in march
anyone have the kr balance patch thats coming out?
check maxroll
it has it translated

hi guys question wht wud be the best way to hit 1710 from 1700? ๐ฎ
what level gear are you supposed to craft/transfer to kazeros gear?

In tier 3 hone to 1620 then you gear transfer to 1640 tier 4 gear. At 1660 you craft ancient tier 4 gear and gear transfer into that
ohhh is it cheaper to get +40 on everything than pushing for +21?
hitting that lose mokoko, bootcamp event ull become veteran
more power gain too
wait so me being at +18/+19 relic gear is bad then? I should be crafting/transferring already?
@1690
wait youre 1690 with relic gear
In tier 4? Yes you should be starting ancient a long time ago
you shouldve transfered ages ago at 1660
1660+ for ancient me thinks 
is this a new event sometime soon bootcamp event?
Ancient gives you more ark passive points. You really want it
ugh....whoops
not the end of the world just transfer for the evo points
yaa just to know which upgrade materials i shud be choosing for future.. thanks....
not like you fucked up major
yeah this game isn't very intuitive but it's ok
Time to do a bunch of Aegir and craft it. Craft your weapon LAST!
Ancient gear is not a soft reset or anything. It has the exact same stats. But it unlocks honing 21-25 & armor only gives more ark passive points
should i prioritize any specific slots first?
armor first
then weapon last
but you should have enough if youve been doing aegir for a while now
so this is the correct transfer right? Do I lose my 97 quality?
ye
no you dont lose
your quality
it transfers
sick! thanks guys
its active right now
ngl, i've been upgrading my alts to ancient weapon first then armor ๐
it seems like mokoko event is ending 86 days... shud i be staying as mokoko until then? when wud be a good time to get out of being mokoko?
When you feel ready
is there a need to feel rushed to start doing the lats act? or not rlly...
Like 10x title for act 4
Final act is like
If you want more cores basically
No need to really rush
There isnt really a rush. ITs just a matter of once you lose your mokoko icon people dont care if youre in the party. You want your character to be built well to pass gatkeeping
Ideally you can buy out the mokoko shop, gear up & get to 1710 to buy out the other shop too
gotcha...
so if its for just more cores and they dont astrogems whts the point of even pushging to 1710 there doesnt seem to be a rlly gud benefit i duno if i am missing something.... except u get to do the last boss?
ohh ok... wht wud be a safe cp to get into parties? ๐ฎ
The natural state of progressing in an MMO in general
More cores is more. More is good. And naturally you keep going. 1720 is HM armoche, new guardian, chaos, cubes etc. 1730 is a new soft reset of gear in april
tht makes sense.... ok thanks!!
i just checked on the calculator... is it rlly cheaper for adv honing 21-40 instead of +20 for 1710 ilvl? ๐ฎ

Adv honing also gives you 2% & another 3% basic stats when you finish 30 & 40
On my alts I hit 1700 with +18 and adv 20, then I do weapon adv 21-40 while free tapping weapon from paradise
You only need 21-30 for 1710
For maximum dmg milking
And you should do "full on grace" for AH.
Although I suppose now that my alts weapons are 20+ from free taps, the more cost effective tap would be armors
For ilvl? Yeah
For avg value? Nope
Well yeah, but not really a point in tapping further
Should probably start pushing for kaz to get away from koko Brel GE
Brel HM lobbies are dumpster fires last few months
Ive had no issues
But I usually do with like half a lobby of friendos 8)
I usually host, but itโs pretty easy to imposter into a HM Brel lobby
G1 takes no sorta skill
G2 some people color blind I swear
so if i dc and they clear, and i load into the raid, do i just get no loot?
or do i get it and its just not shown there on the loot screen
Yep
Hopefully was a lower raid....
mord nm on an alt
Eh basically just lost gold ig....
ah yes, basically trash ๐ฅฒ
L
even if no check, still can't do g3?
Did you get a reentry ticket?
Check that mail
Is this the dc? Then no
If my might take day
Just dont dc 
smilegate 
game randomly crashed
Game said you played long enough 
sucks to suck
Super unlucky
no i hear you
but i have no control over smilegate torpedoing me ๐
think my gpu driver crashed
tempting as that is

just a stick in the eye on an already long weekend
haven't been able to do raids all week because my computers been griefing me
are the servers dying
my ping keeps spiking
and i just did act 4 with like 3 dcs happened
nvm
the connection is me
idk why i had so many dcs in my raid though
i was pumping but then we had to hold at 10x so i dropped to 160 dps 
Feels like there are more and more disconnects happening
yeah same
Scouter and shadow hunter are still one gem classes right?
atleast for now they are 
Are they more like guardian knight then?
guardian knight is not a 2 gem class
i dont think there are any 2 gem classes anymore

....? I'm asking if their skills are now like guardian knight.
in march, not anymore
and GK is kinda unique
but gem wise GK is the same as any non transf class
what is that supposed to mean
a skill is a skill 
like guage oriented?
Probably summoner?
the gems will go on the demonic skills
if youre playing di
so pretty different from gk iirc
Summoner uses 11 like every other class.
They're talking about transformation classes no longer using 2 gems
I see thnx for actually answering my question.
still need 11 
Oh, I thought they mean that only 2 high level gems are needed (others can be bound lvl 6 gems)
DI basically became a 3 gem class now if you want to think like that
like 70% of ur dmg is from 3 skills
yeah was meaning more so the other gems cant just be filler
No. Literally only using 2 gems.
Technically transformation classes use all them now but 9 are used only for the atk power bonus.
Oof
But now they'll want all 11 like every other class
computer's
the bug is that my pc is hella old and i haven't the means to fix it rn
ive had enoguh surgeries for three lifetimes, thanks ๐
Cheapasses in shambles

Hello, can we no longer exchange bound life skill materials (acquired from the stronghold farm) with the stronghold npc?..
only grey and green upwards
at the bottom of the bottom island
Thank you!
honestly unless youre alts are 1700+ sharing gems dont really do to much
should i go for more karma if im at rank 6 level 26 on enlightment and leap or slowly do evo and ignore levels above 26
work on your evo
going past lvl 26 is pricey
Haven't we gone over this
We have
I feel like we've covered Karma every day this week

They got the logs 
time to make ?zyla
Yeah if play 1 spec x 30 char slot it doesnt do much
Karma is way too straight forward for a command
You can google "lost ark karma" and get every answer you need
Surely asking is faster than searching the channel 
yes
What do I do with free taps if I alimax all 3 out lol

nothin 
Collecting dust
last event doing guardian raids gave 1
If youre Rank 6 level 30 on all 3 then you do nothing with your destiny stones
But youre not so its fine
Then youre good. You dont need destiny stones but if you come into some you can use tem
K
you wont be anywhere near close to maxing to 30 not worth unless you are just swimming in it
and have nothing better to spend on
can you not exchange them?
Nope
its like one of the last things to do if you are trying to min max end game
Sadge

Just stop lv21
No I am 23 not 30
if i got 26 i can get 30
I am not trying unless they free lol I have bunch of normal
i just stopped my main at 25 but my alts are all 21 unless the only decent box i get from hell is free karma taps
skill issue
100 normal
well its that or im picking shards or silver 
Surely we will get another blood claw soon on new map
yeah he does 

thats what i was saying the 1st one is so shit
unless they make it less rng
When are they not making horizontal shit 
they need to go back to adding lots of horizontal shit 
lol
Arkesia tour is there to get to the significant items locked behind horizontals
They know it's shit
Idm if the rewards are actually goodge
But it's not + tedious

Okay, it's #general-chat or #lost-ark-discussions time
idk i feel mixed about horizontal stuff i feel like its good to have that kinda stuff in MMOs
anyone know a good spot for hunting? kurzan or rimeria?

yearning soul shouldve been there
ill die on this hill
move back and forth between valley entryway and lazenith outpost
to the right
yes im lazy to track a line
what ilvl do you guys think is a good point to get alts at if your main is currently 1693?
any idea where is the npc?
nowhere, dismantle them
alts from 0 to 1585 takes no resources but time, or gold if you want them fast, so any time you have time is a good time
1585 is where they can start gathering paradise resources to hone themselves out of t3, or you can funnel some gold so they can buy orehas and hone faster
I thinkkk most of my alts are 1550-1580 since that was the last time I actively played
Jump to Gear Progression Steps: #lost-ark-help message
even if you spend some gold on them to buy growth shop orehas, they will pay it up quickly
honestly its worth, as t4 has better gold gain on raids, and if youre a mokoko you abuse veterans so they carry you on raids
thanks

i seee i seee
which one of these do i want as a mokoko?
when do we throw coro in g2 act 4?
When you get the perfect guard + destruction check mech
Supps alternate
Around 240x
if you're in nm and not in prog, you can just skip corro instead and keep him in the mech to keep damaging him instead
ah kk

read the thingy
Do most groups do 1234 or 4321 for armoche safe spots?
ehhh it doesnt mention it, tldr you dont hone till 1585 now, permanent story express, the rest is in the command
there is no set in stone rule, if you see sup in 1 you do 1234, 4 you do the other, if they say 1432 or whatever weird strat you follow
Orite
Hi guys, so I'm a returning player and a friend of mine is gonna play as well, what class it's like the best DPS for semi-experienced player and the best DPS for new player
that depends on a million factors
the general advice is play whatever you want, in the end fun is the best pick
then it comes to know what any of you enjoy compared to other games
Back in the days I play slayer , but I'm kinda a sucker for the currently best of the best
meta?
bro
if youre a returnee you know meta chasing is dumb
go arcana
bitch has been top since forever
but you need hands
I see, and what is like something very friendly for newbies?
aeromancer, wildsoul, valkyrie, berserker, sorceress, deadeye, prob one or two more
shadowhunter?
I see, I read that Valkyrie it's pretty well rounded right?
How hard is this game to get into as a new player? Saw this plays like diablo and wanted to give it a shot
very round boobies yes
she can do both sup and dps
this is like, not even close to diablo
so far and as of this update, the new player experience got improved massively in certain ways
I just meant like the top downish style, i know its more of an mmo
you can play this game solo for like, hundreds of hours
Btw, it's slayer still good if you compare it to arcana?
the only thing they have in common is the isometric camera ngl
after that its night and day
this game's combat is top notch
gotcha, i'm looking at classes while its installing and trying to look at some guides lol
you cant compare a lot of things to arcana
slayer being one, she aint on arcana level
trying to go in with a kind of plan on what i'll play, was thinking deathblade

Thanks mate
gotta start raiding, you can go solo or get carried
behemoth is the easiest to get into as a newbie
assuming there is even a party for it
the other is overture kazeros hard mode
you can solo overture if you want as well
Echidna again?
yeah i was trying to look at tier ratings on youtube but one guy wasnt making sense and the other was just talking about raids lol appreciate the info though
there is this special challenge and there is the actual raid
which is probably easier
idk how much of a nerf they did on the challenge one
so far Ive done the first two challenge bosses
for your own good, avoid like the plague a dude named ImDefild, he's one of the worse youtube content wise
if you want recommended ones look for stoopz, deathboi and cauttyh
is there a vid on like how to play support?
appreciate the heads up because i just started one of his videos lmao
phew
Wineblue has some videos on support
wineblue specializes in supports
i feel like im trying to do to many things i often lose track of my AP buff uptime
but he's not a bad watch
I'd recommend starting with the support written guide
oh Ive done overture already, wont let me go again
me?

I guess behemoth then?
well ik the basics its just im staring at my CDs wayyyyy to often
tried queuing for a lower one but 15 mins later no people
but that just might be because i dont really play support in the first place
dota
and a little league
never use matchmaking for any raid ever (except maybe guardian raids, the dailies)
Think of support AP buffs like checking map
I like having the two buffs right next to each other for this purpose
i can open one and bring you
this is how i have it set up
lol can provide those lol
If you're having trouble with uptime I would use other brand
whats your ign
i do fine in guardians but its just regular raids i feel like im not paying enough attnetion to the raid itself lol
Narcielia
guardians i can just stare at the CDs
on the locked lobby, type 3322 as password
The idea is that since you'll ideally have luminaries and MS stacked
the top 3 are guardians bottom 2 was my act 4 run
You just eventually get a feel for when you need to buff
yeah i feel like its just more so i need to get used to CDs and just get a feel of when i can cast them
You starting S first?
Cast oath first and leap second
(Not stacking)
Remember leap can be used as a mobility tool
that i am not doing yeah i try to open with W preemptively
Also if youre not as comfortable with the raids your uptime will likely suffer
also awakening
is it always raid dependant
or do you kinda spam off CD unless theres a mech you need to hold for it
i assume best to awaken after you identity right?
The general idea is that you dont want to overcap resources gauge and not waste identity timing
If you can at all help it
For our hyper especially you want to make sure you are using it after AP buff
If you can invest in CD8s/magic stream full relics it helps
yeah ive bought some magick stream books
Of course stronger bracelets with higher swift also can help too
but cant really tell a difference lol
but ill probbably need to finish
its only 10/20
Changing to Oath first will yield much more of a difference
I also think if you have too much on your mind take the other brand to just send it and forget about it
yeah i usually play circle just wanted to see what it felt like so i tried in guardian
brand time is half so yeah probably not the best for learning when i have to press it twice as much
This convo is also probably better suited for valk ch anyways
I'd also recommend if you still have it getting the holy ash upgrade ark grid core that lets you stack to two on RA
and done
Anything that helps us with identity uptime also directly feeds up mana
@thorn garnetsorry i dont quite accept DMs, if you got any question you can do so here, that's what the ch is for
@median marlin how was the group experience
how good is guardian knight?
so far people say very good
Well, I went splat right at the end but otherwise feel like I contributed XD
hellfire spec for gk is like triple s tier
is she dps or what role?
yeahhhh people go kaboom if theres a lot of kokos
dps
full dps
nice, thanks
I managed to break some crystals, even as support so I helped
the thing is
you dont break them
you only damage them until they start breaking
if you break them fully they dont do anything, its detrimental
ah, well fk
and its a hit count, they dont have real hp
ah yeah i do have that one ill try to get 14 on it but yeah ty ill probably actually give support a proper chance so i can get a feel for it instead of just randomly playing it in guardians and brels lol

after you hit them whatever amount of times, lets say 10, they start to break, after 3 breaks they stay still for some seconds, then the wind succ them
that's how you stager his ass
but you can stop hitting at the first small break
Other key imo is to just be patient as you make the transition
after that its auto and you can go to the next spike
Support style is a bit different from the dps mindset
tldr dont fully break, just hit until you see/hear them crack
or just afk ye, if you dont know the mech fully just dont hit anything
whether you do the mech correctly or not
the rest will do the job
clear time for behe is quite literally the same
but muh deathless
Just try not to die
yeah 2nd time i think doing in raid so was pretty rough lol but ill keep at it for the next few weeks
we had like
i used to play bard back during valtan vykas days but its been hella long
Comb over the resources and valk/raid guides and I think you'll be fine
2 full parties between 1200 and 500cp, a couple 1600~, and like 5 carries
more than enough, even if it was a minute slower
piรฑata
You can study for years but if you dont actually put to practice it'll fall apart regardless imo
I mean as long as you dont get jailed g2 who cares imo
The big thing that causes that nowadays is ppl failing special stagger into stealing carry res
For a new player should i use a power pass or play through the game normally lol
depends on what you wanna do
if you care about story you can just play it normally
if not just power pass
kk lol
well all the gold is gone lol
๐
I think the main argument to powerpassing something is to use it to help leverage materials later on
also to unlock stronghold buffs for t3 and to a lesser extent t4
Paradise keys early on are nice for pushing
they dont really care about whats optimal most of the time

i do agree tho
You can technically do both
ye but this is something they need to know prior to playing this game
Just use the PP to leverage those benefits and use story to just go through
like if i came to this game for the first time i wouldnt know about the benefits of pp
like stronghold and all that
what are some classes that dont require much skill potions/horizontal im looking to make an class on my alt account i was thinking shadowhunter DI, zerk probably bt, slayer predator, glaivier pinnacle, breaker brawl king, and i really like dps valk
already making an alt account? hehe
which should i pick from this to just play with the event that id going on
i have one from back in the days with like 20 bards
prob look at crit/swift classes
๐ญ
so you dont need wealth runes
yeah ill do that probably
theres only like 1 skill pot that's hard to get anyways, the others are easier
lower impact than enlightenement tho
and easier to do than enlightenment
Ark tour solves the skill points part
yeah most of them
And 1680 solves the enlightment part a bit more
Since technically most of the functionality is on lv1 4th node
how is glaive and sh doing
heard sh is trash
and which ome would you accept the most from those
into party
even now DI SH can pump well
but its getting buffed ye
people dont gatekeep on class
unless its scouter rn? but not really even then
xd
If you're also going to play this game like that id avoid doing classes judt for this purpose
cp / title / roster level / etc
like what
If you're doing an alt roster id just play it for fun not to min max sweat what would be easiest to set up
yeah ofc
ill prob make valk
i mean if youre making it to rice farm just make whatever
mokoko leaf will make it where people will take you
regardless of your class
and worst case i can switch to support might be easier to find a lobby that way
I think theres also a better argument to paradise max on a main account instead but
gotta wait for next week
Im pretty sure the numbers on that are only in my favor if I make a lot of concessions on how good cards and engravings are on average
radiant leaps up to 90 each
wonder how high they'll go
wish I held on to all of mine for a week longer 
t3 honing is free now but gl buying leapstones new players ๐
also gold nerf ๐
nerf of what raid
everything mord and lower
Can anyone tell me what is meant when people call accessories "mid" or "mid-high" etc?
and mord (1680) also got some of its gold changed to roster bound
ouch
?accessory
high legendary, mid epic, low rare
people only call out % rolls, flats are usually ignored unless its to minmax
ty
high mid could be atk% and wep%
1.5 and 1.8
high high 1.5 and 3
etc
rarity of the roll
If you wanna get stupid min maxy you can look for these rolls on high base stat versions of acc
Love multilayered rng
what source of leapstones does a new player making an alt even have for 1580--1640? aside from paradise
since they gutted GR
solo shop? a handful from on i-lvl raid clears?
which orb should I pick up as a bard?
Solo shop and chaos i guess
Cubes???
Whit the laser?
close to 3k stones to hit 1640, 3-4k more if you're doing T3 AH
none from gr, and no more leap chest in hell either
no wonder prices are spiking
0x for gate 2 is just a destruction check
Couple counters here and there for sidereal meter
oh idk why I thought he meant aegir
Just do counter - thirain - counter - thirain
he might mean aegir ๐ค
Well when aegir dies
He just dies
Iโd assume he is actually talking about akkan but who knows
but like, if you miss laser sidereal you need to stagger
record and post a clip
ive never failed that stagger but maybe its a wipe if you do?
steam can do this natively
ok thax
Aegir last phase is just stage breaks bit by bit till he ded after stagger/special sidereal?
what are the chances that we get powerpass and/or new express in april ?
