[paper walrus]

no it actually is harder than solo mode

challenge echidna has a higher health than solo, unlike all the other challenge raids

[vast oriole]

even with a vet roster, its harder than solo mode xD

its weird af

[strong moat]

it doesn't anymore

they fixed it this week

[paper walrus]

wtf

[strong moat]

or last week

[strong moat]

didn't remember if it was this or last week

[vast oriole]

this week was the mokoko icon

and the trails

[strong moat]

[quick breach]

i used the power pass to 1640 but how do i unlock the t4 chaos dungeons?

[vast oriole]

you need to change the war map to kazeros something

alt q

chaos dungeon = kurzan front

[quick breach]

why is everything so complicated bru

thanks

[rose wren]

its not, just look around

well only 1thing is, the stronghold quests

[vast oriole]

x10

let me load

[lavish mortar]

I think 10x is Sentinel of the abyss

[vast oriole]

and no shot

g1 x10

[strong moat]

not really a title that's gonna stop people from gatekeeping you, i'll be honest

[indigo breach]

Leaf＞title in act 4 nm tho

[strong moat]

the only time the title would matter if you were a non koko meaning kaz NM and that's not one of the titles that's gonna stop gatekeeping

[vast oriole]

thing is

lot of people are done with the shop

so they dont care if thye have a mokoko or not

[strong moat]

i've seen people starting to gatekeep kokos again

because they are done

[vast oriole]

yep

this time, the shop was very cheap

[strong moat]

yeah weekly is also cheap iirc it was 135 tokens/week

2 act 4s with koko and you're set for almost 2 weeks

[vast oriole]

imagine doing act4 nm

[indigo breach]

They should have an option of unlimited silver exchange in the shop

[strong moat]

first off whale 2nd i still have 5

[vast oriole]

just hone lol

[lavish mortar]

Imagine not being a credit card conqueror

[vast oriole]

i dont have one, funnily enough

[lavish mortar]

But you also dont have the chaos customer title

[vast oriole]

it is about shop

vets accepts mokoko for the shop

not anything else

yeah some

most doesnt care about mokokos

[strong moat]

this is literally the only reason people accept mokokos in 99% of cases

the other 1% are actually people willing to carry/teach

and once the shop is empty / bought out it goes back to "normal" gatekeeping

[vast oriole]

exactly

[strong moat]

it's just the reality we live in, the mokoko vet shop isn't there to "help" mokokos it's there to give vet players a reason to carry new players

[plain sorrel]

It just has more HP , yeah still same size bewbs

[candid lake]

yeah i was surprised

i had to do the mirror mech and the basement mirror mech

OH I ALSO HAD TO DO EPHERNIA

LMAO

[split kayak]

does this mean i cant get it from any kaz raids

[strong moat]

i skipped ethernia and last mech

everything else i had to play

also stagger was really hard for some reason

[candid lake]

i think i dpsed through it by using hyper

when she was doing it

[swift pier]

correct

welcome to the wonder that is t3 cards

[split kayak]

[candid lake]

i mean t4 has its raid specific cards too

which for now is kakul and kaz

[gray verge]

[Legion Raid] is legion raids, the older kind

[split kayak]

i know

i thought they gonna move it too

[candid lake]

nah

[gray verge]

I mean it does drop from T4 raids too, but it's primarily from her legion raid

[candid lake]

the last raid that gives t3 cards is echidna nm and solo

[candid lake]

does it ?

[split kayak]

[candid lake]

i thought the t4 raids didnt drop t3 cards

[gray verge]

maybe not, might just be LoS cards

[gray verge]

I've had Tier 3 cards drop but it was Sidereal cards

[candid lake]

i dont think the original nineveh card drops in t4 raids :thonk:

but the t4 variant does (obviously)\

[strong moat]

all old T3 cards can drop in echidna/behe iirc

codex is inaccurate at best

shit is either missing/incomplete in there

[split kayak]

if i use atro when i have supp shield, does it eat the shield or ignores and eats hp?

[mellow mauve]

Ignores and eats hp

[indigo breach]

Oof, haven't used atros for a long time

[lone hamlet]

hi guys, did they remove the spire towers?

[indigo breach]

Ye

Can't farm roster xp from it anymore

[livid fossil]

🪦

[fringe canopy]

Q> Regarding Arkesia Tour, specifically this quest. i could not finish it because after going to the sun flower island there's no quests available.

[paper walrus]

are you sure you didnt accept it on a different character?

[livid fossil]

House of verdiche in Elgacia

Not Elgacia

[torpid marsh]

Other than serca and the soft reset, does KR have any other additional powercreep systems?

[limpid aurora]

not for now, maybe next month with the next raid

[balmy plank]

At this time, no. New abyss dungeon for them in april

[torpid marsh]

But they just do so much more damage than us xD that's why I was wondering

[limpid aurora]

yeah softreset id bigger than you might think

[torpid marsh]

Oo, fr?

[limpid aurora]

well yes, instead of being like 1730 with a 160k weapon power Weapon. You can be a 1780 with like 200k weapon power Weapon.
That is pretty significant

[fading hill]

is casting speed a separate modifier to attack speed? e.g. +15% casting speed at 140% attack speed will increase casting speed?

[tender flicker]

Yeah. Stuff like tripods, galewind runes, etc can exceed the base 140% cap.

[fading hill]

noted thanks

[astral temple]

dumb question, is there a point for spreading your engravings evenly and pray for lucky drops in paradise?

[split kayak]

some players stop buying until 3 nodes (15 books)
and let the last node (5 books) to fill from paradise

[astral temple]

ah thats actually a good idea

[limpid aurora]

just depends on what you have as a goal

[astral temple]

just trying to push my cp as high as possible now

[faint cedar]

what ilvl

and cp

[indigo breach]

Then u probably need more than relic books

Ark grid and those ass-troll-gems provide tons of cp

[faint cedar]

@indigo breach u ignite or reflux

[bold geyser]

cheap books for your built are reasonable, you shouldn't be putting too much effort into books early on unless you're pushing multiple chars at once and even then theres probably cheaper ways to go about it

[tropic grove]

hi guys, I'm making a character from scratch, I just knowledge transfered to 1585 gear, what ilvl should I hone to?

[bold geyser]

you hone to 1620 and transfer to the T4 gear you get from finishing north kurzan

[tropic grove]

thanks :)

[bold geyser]

good luck

[tropic grove]

the only t3 resources available are from the growth boost shop?

[bold geyser]

chaos dungeon, guardian raids, some amount from legion raids, chests from hell (though this is teh last week in the season so you would have to wait a few weeks before thats an option again), growth shop every week, small amount from the guild shop, and the general market

and a small bit from quests as you progress the story

[tropic grove]

ty again sir :D

[bold geyser]

npnp

[hollow anchor]

Is this last week for hell key ?

[bold geyser]

ya

hmmm.... there was some stuff ending 3/4 and some 3/11

i dont think we get hell keys next week but i'm not on to 100% confirm

its soon though

[tender flicker]

We don't get hell keys next week

Finish all your hell keys before reset. If you want, you can try for crucible ranking, mostly since top 30 get perma banner but kinda hard for most people unless they've been funneling.

[faint cedar]

1 week of no hell keys no crucible while rankings lock in

big patch with new season likely 3/11

[azure isle]

how do i get more juice?

[faint cedar]

market (expensive as fuck), cubes, hell keys, daily logins/events, kazeros/epic war exchange

[azure isle]

is there no cheesy way to get a lot of them

[faint cedar]

hell is the cheesy way

effectively free with minimal effort

?juice

worth a shot

[azure isle]

damn it gives so little reds compared to blue

[faint cedar]

yep

especially when ur tapping 23+ weapons and its 50 per tap

pain

[azure isle]

WHAT

aintnoway

[faint cedar]

my 23-24 is 50 per tap for an extra 1% chance

making it a total of 2%

[azure isle]

f it special honing it is

[azure isle]

[faint cedar]

47% arti currently

so you can only imagine how much its costed so far

at 5200 a tap

[azure isle]

you tapped 104 times

rougly

thats 500k gold

[faint cedar]

sounds about right

[azure isle]

the crazy thing to me is that you have enough materials to do that

[faint cedar]

its not all at once though

and i have effectively nothing else to work on for this character

[azure isle]

when u check average scenario what is it actually based on?

[faint cedar]

probably on hitting it somewhere along the line

idk

i dont like to take tools like these as gospel, its 50/50 everytime i tap and that keeps me sane

[azure isle]

i guess preparing normal taps isnt the way

[vast oriole]

Well you go for 24 25 when you already have a lot of mats and nothing else to do

(Or for the glow but prepare to suffer)

[rich verge]

youre also heavily de-incentivised now because its fucking 3g per 1 red shard

[azure isle]

i like the new +25 better tbh i wouldnt go that far myself in current state

[rich verge]

if you aint got that shit saved you would be forced into spending double just to cover the reds

[vast oriole]

I mean

You dont buy red mats

For sure

[rich verge]

not in this economy anyway

[vast oriole]

Even before you werent

Unless youre a gigantic whale

[azure isle]

abidos my bane

i might need to be a gardener and collect flowa

its always the abidos

-# i spent the gold on skins and shit but we dont talk about that

[rich verge]

feel lke you could definitely justify a little supplementing of reds when it was like 130g/100

abidussy's you just highroll from hell ez

[azure isle]

imagine getting that chest when you jump high

[faint cedar]

nah

if youre in that bad a spot you just take destruct stones from hell

but you never buy reds just to supplement 25 weapon taps

unless you're desperate and rich

[rich verge]

i was not supplementing for 25 wep too insane

[vast oriole]

Just do life skill once every 3 days and craft abidos

[faint cedar]

tbh though, i dont mind being out of reds because i just do raids and tap as i get them, and now im more incentivised to play my main more and do more raids to get more stones

it also saves me on spending 500k gold in one sitting to pity 24

bc i wouldve if i had the mats to

[azure isle]

i was farming stronghold rabbits and fish to craft mana food for arcana but i realized azena's blessing does it for a month for free so i wasted so many life energy there

[faint cedar]

you still need mana food on arcana even with azenas

at least on the top end, from my understanding since its a class where youre incentivised to have more cpm to do dmg

[lucid axle]

doesnt food not stack with azena?

[tender flicker]

Azena gives food mana buff

[azure isle]

i know for sure i am not on top end

i just want to not stop casting

[faint cedar]

i thought they stacked

learn something new

[vast oriole]

Stronghold life skill is giga bad

[azure isle]

how else do you craft food

[lucid axle]

buy em

i think is what most ppl do

i think

[rich verge]

with regular lifeskill

[lucid axle]

or that too lol

[azure isle]

i didnt see it in workshop

blind angle

[rich verge]

just rip the event feast and flame support if you go oom

[azure isle]

i like that idea

[tender flicker]

Chewy something, green food that gives 24% regen

[vast oriole]

I dont use food

But when i was playing bard, i was just buying the cheapest green food with 24%

[azure isle]

ur rich

whale

[lucid axle]

its not honestly that much

you just rip 1 per raid so its 3 a week

[tender flicker]

Can you realistically not oom on bard without max mp and no food?

[azure isle]

what is oom

[coral silo]

if ur a good bard youll oom

if you're a bad bard no worries

30/30/0

[lucid axle]

oom means no mana

[coral silo]

oom = out of mana

[lucid axle]

we just like to call it that lol

oh

[azure isle]

it sounds funny

[lucid axle]

ngl didnt know that lol

[faint cedar]

good bards hard to find

[coral silo]

good any sup is hard to find

[faint cedar]

eh

bard specifically

[coral silo]

depends on your standard for good

i guess

[tender flicker]

Thinking about raising a bard but it just feels so finicky compared to other supports

[faint cedar]

not so much standard, just the ceiling on bard is high and the floor is low

[coral silo]

bard is an op class but yeah she has nuances that can be difficult

[faint cedar]

so theres a lot more bad bards out there than good

[azure isle]

just play music and hope ur party likes it

[coral silo]

i think in terms of ceiling

[faint cedar]

when you get that bard only account main, you really feel the difference

[coral silo]

artist is the highest no?

can get 100% everything now

[faint cedar]

*skill ceiling

[coral silo]

every bard main i play with 5000k cs + just say artist is better

skill ceiling sure but practical ceiling is more applicable

[faint cedar]

with rework yeah it probably is

[vast oriole]

No

Bard ceilling still highest

[faint cedar]

there you have it

[tender flicker]

Artist is way more comfy but idk if it’s top for ceiling

[vast oriole]

Even with artist having 90% z identity, its still weaker than bard

[coral silo]

90% < bard what?

[vast oriole]

Artist is gery simple to play

[coral silo]

whats the comparison

[vast oriole]

60% bard

[azure isle]

what is weak

[coral silo]

60% 3 bubbles?

[vast oriole]

Yes

[coral silo]

i see

whats the math?

[faint cedar]

1+1 = u dont die

[vast oriole]

Bebok has calculator

[coral silo]

whats bebok

[vast oriole]

But its because 15% buff instead of 10 + whatever spec bard has

A guy in support channels

He made a support calc

[tender flicker]

All sups are generally good enough for end game really, this is just talking about the very top end performance in comparison

[vast oriole]

Oh ofc

[coral silo]

yeah we're comparing ceilings

artist ceiling being 100%

[vast oriole]

Well except pala xdd

[coral silo]

so im wondering when a bard out scales that

[faint cedar]

we dont talk about them

[vast oriole]

Easily

I explained it

[coral silo]

nah you just stated i needa see the math

[vast oriole]

Artist scales extremely poorly with spec

[coral silo]

i have the calc up anyway

also didnt realise i was talking in lost ark help chat

mb

💀

[vast oriole]

Bard has shit scaling too hut her ap buffing has shorter cd

So can go more spec

[tender flicker]

pally counters and stagger are pretty good. You more or less know what you get with a pally.

[vast oriole]

+15 % is huge

[faint cedar]

that doesnt prevent me from dying to 10 stack bleed

zzz

lmfao

[bold geyser]

wait 60% is good or 60% is weak

[vast oriole]

That wasnt the question

And depends the raid, the party, the bard gear

[bold geyser]

oh 👉 👈

[faint cedar]

supp math hurts my brain

press ur mana button

[coral silo]

bard 65%~ outscales 100% for artist?

yo nerf this class

[faint cedar]

but artist is easier

and bard is harder

[lucid axle]

idk whats good but i can do around 95/95/60/50 on valk

is that good?

[tender flicker]

Probably better than the average valk

[lucid axle]

on valk do you usually precast brand?

since you seem to be a valk main

or like in general as a support is it best to try and precast buffs before a burst

[coral silo]

depends on the brand

[tender flicker]

Never said I was good

You can pre cast the brands though, since both linger on the ground

[coral silo]

i always precast my brand on valk since its extremely lenient

valk is just an easy sup man

very fun

[tender flicker]

Awkward part on valk sup for me is timing on ap buffs

[lucid axle]

yeah i feel like on valk i should always be at 100% brand but im always short and idk if thats because im not pre casting

[coral silo]

98%+ is fine due to circumstance

[vast oriole]

I hate that valk brand

[coral silo]

tbh ive never watched anything valk related, the class just feels intuitive

[vast oriole]

I prefer the other one with shorter cd but at least its instant

[coral silo]

i use that one

its amazing w/ quick re

[tender flicker]

Same, getting bumped without para immune on the other one kinda sucks

[coral silo]

valk has so many tools

feels like you're lacking nothing

so chill

maybe besides ceiling tho

[vast oriole]

I made a valk and i hated the leap buff animation

[coral silo]

hate valk during long raids

[vast oriole]

[coral silo]

people use a cast speed thing on it i forgot

its push immune so its a free ap cast

[lucid axle]

yeah leap feels very akward to me

[vast oriole]

Yeah stikk not enough

I hate it

So fucking dumb to jump to air and go back on ground

[lucid axle]

i used to play support bard back during vykas and i enjoyed it

though i was dumb and was that support that overlapped my AP buffs

[vast oriole]

We all did dw

[split kayak]

bring back vykas

[vast oriole]

Ew hell na

[split kayak]

or clown

or argos

[rich verge]

clown

[bold geyser]

how do you get parses to save like this?

[lucid axle]

brel v1

6 gates

[lucid axle]

uwuowo website

[coral silo]

just public logs on uwuowo

[lucid axle]

or bible ig

[bold geyser]

yeah im on there i dont think i have any parses

something on the bible i presume?

[lucid axle]

you linked your discord to it?

[azure isle]

where

[lucid axle]

without linking ur account itll have ur stuff private

[tender flicker]

Is that the inside of the pleccia museum?

[bold geyser]

haven't linked anything to anything and haven't been to church in a long while

will take a look at it thanks 🙂

[azure isle]

i cant find it

its not outside

not marked inside

[lucid axle]

how do i get as consistent as u

[coral silo]

haha not sure valk is my first support

[lucid axle]

this is just my roster runs overall

im always buns but sometimes i pop off

especially ass during early gates of raids

ig maybe supp is different but dps i always have it vary a lot

[tender flicker]

My maxroll is being weird, but doesn't it have a part for more detailed mokoko info?

[azure isle]

i didnt look for that cuz i thought itd be free game

timegated bs in my pleccia

[tender flicker]

My friend told me to go get a mokoko at like 3am and there is a 100day quest there, just figured it was the island of time gating .

[indigo breach]

Ignite

That 3 meteor thingy in ark grid is strong

[azure isle]

is No Shot better than The Oppressor?

[tender flicker]

Some quest where you gotta /pray for 100 days

[tender flicker]

No shot is technically from a4, but doesn't really mean much tbh. The oppressor is for killing aegir, so unrelated. So either "no shot" or arguably even no title may be better.

[azure isle]

[lucid axle]

does the chance of relic cores actually go up in HM compared to NM or does it just remove epics from the pool

[livid fossil]

What is splendid essence of wisdom thing in. Universe storage

[hushed agate]

do we get hell key next week ? since its seasonal reset, i kinda forgot what happen from last season

[livid fossil]

No

It’s a week off and the next week we start

So 3 weeks before we start getting keys

[outer mason]

it's from elixirs
since elixirs are gone from the game, you can try to delete them without issue
and if you cannot delete the item, just leave it in your storage and forget about it

[rich verge]

try to dismantle them for ez solo coins (if u can)

also is there actually a reward for this 100 day pray quest or is it just bait

[azure isle]

im also curious

[gray verge]

Yes

https://youtu.be/rc78LQ-Cvzs

This as a stronghold jukebox, a title and the final painting in the pleccia collection iirc

[minor igloo]

cinema

[gray verge]

Only keys we get on March 11th are community gift ones

[rich verge]

oh great, something i dont need to bother with then

[gray verge]

Yeah it’s cosmetic/achievement related like most side stuff now

[turbid apex]

I got pretty unlucky on one of my characters quality upgrades. Is there any way to get more quality without doing old raids to get the chaos stones or paying 500 g each?

[azure isle]

iirc paradise quality tap chests give u free taps?

[turbid apex]

Ya but so few

[gray verge]

Paradise Chaos chests are the processed free taps

you'll get a few in nether chests

[dusky pumice]

what to do with those ? since the npc was removed

[livid fossil]

Memento”s

[supple shoal]

for paradise i should be taking bound gold>free taps> oreha?

[lusty narwhal]

Free taps is generally highest value

[supple shoal]

aight thx

[strong moat]

freetaps>oreha>destiny stones> gold

you only take gold if you want todo AH for example otherwise the other 3 have better value

[supple shoal]

im running oom all the time w my emperor arcana is there something wrong?

running boundless mp and unlimited magick lvl2 both aswell

either sup suck or idk

WHY IS MANA FOOD 1k

it used to be

like 50 gold

[shadow pasture]

Probably support sucking

[strange viper]

Whats gonna happen to flares and pheros after the guardian update? we get chests refunded? is it going to be 1:1 or hows that gonna work?

[azure isle]

its random

Oh juice is a decent option

are rowen weeklies per character?

[astral temple]

@faint cedar @indigo breach https://lostark.bible/character/NA/Starlitefire

Realistically, the best guaranteed ways for me to gain cp from what i know of are

1. Going H -> HM accessories
2. Gems from Lv8-Lv9
3. Relic Books

Aside from that, I could go for Full 20s astrogems with DPS horizontals, but I’m kinda sick of RNG systems so I’m taking a backburner on that. Planning on getting HM books since theyre less than 100k and then look for either accessories or lv9 gems(not sure yet)

Basically I want to raise Combat Power since I want to try to get into TFM before it goes away(and hopefully ideally before Serca releases since I might not have time then)(Also heard that Nightmare Serca requires min 4.5k cp to meet dps requirements, so itll help with that if I can make it there though its very unlikely)

[azure isle]

i swear i did them this week

Accessories from H to HL or MM, unless you have a couple mil laying around to buy HM (the one ear I just made alone was worth like 6-700k)
Tbh as a whole high mids won’t get you crazy cp buffs and outright dmg so I would leave at HL/MM until much later.
Gems inflate cp pretty high, so working on 9s and 10s on important ones will always be of value
Books also inflate cp very heavily.
As for ark grid, you’ve hit pretty high enough nodes. I would work on cutting 9s and 10s to start swapping out AP/support side nodes for boss damage and additional damage lines

The side nodes will benefit you WAY more than the 0.15% bullshit ark grid core node buffs

[astral temple]

Yea makes sense if anything thats a bound gold adventure probably

Since cant buy books/gems with bound gold

[faint cedar]

Because of the way the damage pools work, we have a lot less access to boss damage, so the increase from that alone is of so much value on a raid set up

From what I’ve heard from mathy people it’s currently Boss>additional>ap on side nodes

[astral temple]

I think the only reason im hestitant on lv9 gems is cuz its like 1 mil gold per lv9 (tech since i already have one lvl 8 itll be 650k per) but thats still a lot of gold for a class like pm that doesnt have a 40%+ dmg skill

[supple shoal]

where to get these outside of echidna

[astral temple]

Solo ahop

[faint cedar]

Solo shop is all

[supple shoal]

i bought the solo shop the 10 it gives

oh

[astral temple]

Then yea echidna hard

[faint cedar]

Echidna hard and solo shop

[supple shoal]

fuh

and if i do echidna but dont claim gold?

i still get them

[astral temple]

Still get them

Ye

But make sure its echidna hard

[faint cedar]

Work on books if gems don’t benefit your class

[supple shoal]

is there no exchange where i can exchange other mats for it?

[astral temple]

Not echidna nm or solo

[faint cedar]

Alt Q, look at echidna hard, and click on gate info

It will show you how many eyes you get

[supple shoal]

oh okayy

[astral temple]

Yea that was my plan

[mellow mauve]

I wondered why that name looked familar

[astral temple]

[supple shoal]

does hm echi give title?

i already did it so im asking maybe it would help me to get easier party

[azure isle]

several

[shadow pasture]

shouldnt matter tho

[supple shoal]

i only did it x1

[mellow mauve]

doesn't really matter

not many people doing hm echi

[supple shoal]

yeah pf empty

[jaunty igloo]

think people look for ilvl rather than titles in echidna

they want a fast in and out

[mellow mauve]

they are looking for bodies more so than ilvl

[azure isle]

unironically people literally dont do hm echidna

they open a party finder and pray to all hindu gods a 1755 dps shows up

[astral temple]

the only reasons omseone does hm echidna is if they need eyes or mokoko tokens

and yea 1-2 1680+ can carry dps so all you need are mech doers

[azure isle]

i do every raids on every character every week cuz i find it fun, the things i get are just bonus

[supple shoal]

neee my eyes

[azure isle]

but gatekeeping is tough, especially when it doesnt make sense

[supple shoal]

i mean in 1688 shouldnt be a problem

shouldnt

[azure isle]

[supple shoal]

ill go do alts thaemine maybe then i can find exhi lobby

or do i do lobby sim

hmmmge

[azure isle]

i havent done it on my valk

[astral temple]

ar eyou in na or eu?

[azure isle]

i can be the body that pulls people

but you need to wait

[astral temple]

if youre na id recommend waiting for a few hours

[azure isle]

he eu

[astral temple]

dont think many people are only at this time and are looking for echidnas

[supple shoal]

im eu

in the only lobby thats up

but yeh

idk

nobody appliing

[astral temple]

yea youll have to wait a bit

[supple shoal]

[azure isle]

nobody applying you say as p1 is 3/4

[astral temple]

echidnas a legacy raid so less people doign it

LMFAO

[supple shoal]

legacy?

[astral temple]

its a term i made up

LMFAO

[azure isle]

dj

[supple shoal]

yeah

[azure isle]

tell the valk to accept my valk

[astral temple]

but uh i mean that its a raid thats not in most peoples top 3 gold earning raids

[supple shoal]

aight

apply first

[azure isle]

Zylie is the name

[supple shoal]

leago

[azure isle]

nice booba

[supple shoal]

thx<33

[jaunty igloo]

not a made up name

its a term for old raids that arent common

[azure isle]

he is gatekeeping

[supple shoal]

back in my days brel hm was hard

[supple shoal]

ill wipe us 20 times anyways dw

jk

[azure isle]

if we jail i quit

[astral temple]

oh i didnt make that up, nice to know

[supple shoal]

xddd im glad im not doing that

[unique gulch]

Hello, there must be something I don't understand cause why don't I see any difference in the statistics of relic items and ancient items?

[faint cedar]

Week 1-3 of the express they were

Bc they have no foresight on eyeball collection

[astral temple]

what relic/ancient itms?

[mellow mauve]

yes that's a specific occassion of why peeople need to run it

[astral temple]

accessories?

ark cores?

[mellow mauve]

but outside of events, people don't really do that raid as pf

[faint cedar]

In general though it’s really just cards

There’s usually only 1-5 lobbies up at a time

Usually new players

[unique gulch]

for exemples on the items than we can get on the guardian raid, i dont see any difference between Argeos and Krathios

[mellow mauve]

ancient accs give more enlightment points than relic accs

[astral temple]

^

[faint cedar]

you don’t get zapped in the fucking face

[astral temple]

you ideally want full ancient accessories so that you can get 100 enlightment points

(tech 101 but the extra 1 is useless rn)

[unique gulch]

mmmmmmmmm

does that realy make a big difference ?

[astral temple]

YES

some classes cant make full use of their ark passive without the bottom row maxxed

[jaunty igloo]

101 are to max out the tree

[astral temple]

cough EO soulfist cough

well talking full relics

assuing you have everything else

you only get 1 in the bottom row

other clases get a big dmg boost from going max bottom row

[unique gulch]

ok ok, ty

ngl i am a bit lost with all those new thing

[astral temple]

this is an example

[unique gulch]

didn't play in 1 years at least

[astral temple]

thats def fair, but at the same time, once you understand the system its def more inuitive then the old engraving system imo

just think of enlightment tree as the replacement for your class engraving

top 3 rows gives your old engraving back

[unique gulch]

ngl i dont really remember it

[astral temple]

then the last row gives something new for you to test out

what class did you play before you quit the first time? i can prob give an exampe based off of that

[unique gulch]

paladin

[astral temple]

oh um thats one of the classes i dont know

[unique gulch]

XD

ty tho

[vast oriole]

Paladin changed a lot so kinda hard to give example

Now you can make your aura longer duration

If you do meter skills

[astral temple]

apparently dps paladin is viable now as well(tho idt anyone plays it)

[vast oriole]

Next balance patch makes him hitmaster yes

[unique gulch]

damn, the game sure has changed

i remember getting rejected of every party cause i wanted to try a blue paladin

[indigo breach]

I wonder what would be a good cp in progging tfm Kazeros

[astral temple]

from what ive seen, most people are 4-4.5k, tho ive heard that its possible to clear with 3.5k+ if youre willing to not skip mechs

[indigo breach]

My main got 4300ish, but not 1740 yet

[astral temple]

4-4.5k min i mean

[indigo breach]

Gonna do some honing first

[astral temple]

either way i have catching up to do

[indigo breach]

Wait wut

x500 skippable in tfm???

[shadow pasture]

ye you can skip mechs

[indigo breach]

Or u mean desert in g2-1

[astral temple]

not entirely but you can skip 2nd or 3rd coutner in tfm fo r500x

and the main thing is desert

erm

2nd or 3rd jg

i mean

2nd is liek pretty whale but 3rd doable with ark grid from what i heard?

[indigo breach]

I literally know nothing about desert

[shadow pasture]

wait have you even cleared hm kaz?

[indigo breach]

No

[azure isle]

i got DI at home

[astral temple]

hm kaz dies before desert

oh

[vast oriole]

You dont see desert in tfm also

[indigo breach]

Last week I went to sacrifice mech

[indigo breach]

I don't think I need to clear hm Kazeros before tfm

[astral temple]

but yeah id want to try tfm now, but i know im goign to get gatekept since im only 3.6k cp so im trying to get up to at least 4k

[indigo breach]

The prerequisite condition is act 4 hm clear

[shadow pasture]

i guess

[astral temple]

yea but you prob want a few kaz hm clears before you do tfm

[indigo breach]

No rtc clear hm kaz lobby for now, Imma try in the evening

[astral temple]

glgl

[shadow pasture]

the clear is basically in the bag if you've seen sac

if dps is high enough you can mess up sac and be fine anyways

[indigo breach]

Just lack of stagger

[supple shoal]

@azure isle can vouch for me im high dmg mokoko

[indigo breach]

I have to go sac since I usually don't have ignite there

[astral temple]

you may want to get a few reps on staggering as well

so that you know how to do the stagger check

[indigo breach]

Can't do shit without ignite

[astral temple]

tho yea itll be hard on igniter sorc

[indigo breach]

The biggest problem is that boss hp bar is unknown

[mellow mauve]

only if you're not using bible

[azure isle]

why can i not enter here on my valk

[indigo breach]

I can't even save a bar of energy before that mech

[azure isle]

[astral temple]

it isnt if you download a third party software

[astral temple]

have you chosen a faction yet

[indigo breach]

Wait wut

[astral temple]

or done the quest to chose a faction

[indigo breach]

U need to walk there first

[mellow mauve]

the meter shows bosses hp

even though it's hidden ingame

[astral temple]

um maybe theres a quest to go there?

[indigo breach]

This mech is not automatically opened

[azure isle]

are u fr

[astral temple]

[indigo breach]

Every char must walk into it from the adjacent area

[rose jewel]

Finish the purple quests then go there by foot

[indigo breach]

then it will be unlocked

for teleport

[astral temple]

i should go finish rowern

[rose jewel]

Sorry you had to play the game for 26 seconds

[astral temple]

i dont want to play the game

i want to make it feel like a job

[supple shoal]

am i

[azure isle]

it worked

[indigo breach]

Now u need to do it on every char u have

[azure isle]

are weeklies per character

[livid fossil]

Congrats it took you second to get it

[indigo breach]

I wonder if i should do weapon 25 or 3 random armor piece to get 1740

[livid fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/cant-see-who-cares-looking-around-linus-tech-tips-linus-ltt-gif-25137214

[shadow pasture]

weapon 25 obviously

[livid fossil]

[indigo breach]

Where do those tradable red stone go?

Destiny Destruction Stones

[livid fossil]

Those karma free taps

Oh r
They go to next alt

[indigo breach]

I mean, where do they drop?

Used to be Kurzan front, but now it only drops bound ones

[tender flicker]

Wanna say field boss?

[indigo breach]

Oof

[tender flicker]

Generally tradeable supply feels lower than before, but they upped the bound stuff from kurzan

[indigo breach]

That's probably why it's so expensive now

[mellow mauve]

fate embers and fieldboss

[indigo breach]

[supple shoal]

does anyone do thae hm or its dead?

thinking about doing hm on my 1650 alts instead of solo

[vast oriole]

Dead

[rose jewel]

It was alive when you needed thae 4hm for the event one

[misty heart]

whats the best way to farm these? just farm mobs like crazy?

[vast oriole]

Yep

[rose wren]

find big pile

[paper walrus]

best place to farm it is alt y

[strong moat]

https://tenor.com/view/firefly-chibi-hsr-so-true-bestie-nod-gif-164675154479531230

[somber steeple]

guys what should i be working on apart from ark grid?
https://lostark.bible/character/NA/Jochuu

[shy chasm]

Get a few 8's

[shadow pasture]

prob 8s maybe even buy some ambush books since those are pretty cheap

char looks very good otherwise having a 5 liner bracelet and a 9/7

[vital latch]

hi, act3 night of storm solo mode, the "g" moment when we have to block hammer hit, when exactly should I press ? I try just after the yellow flash, 1sec after, etc but im never 100% success, It's really frustrating because I manage everything else.

[shadow pasture]

basically when the hammer is about to slam down is the timing

[vital latch]

ok, so I dont have to look the yellow flashlight, just the hammer

[shadow pasture]

yes

[vital latch]

will try, thanks

[shadow pasture]

yellow flash can actually be bait

to make you press g super early

[vital latch]

looks like for me ! very frustratin,g

yeah i think thats happend for me

ty

[misty heart]

are people actually buying them?

[shadow pasture]

yes

it may be shocking but not everyone wants to mindlessly kill mobs for collectibles

[misty heart]

xD understandable

[rose wren]

all that gold ull be earning...

[shadow pasture]

like 377m in g1

people will probably want like

550m plus or something for g1

heal orb is still bis

you can wear the new dps orbs for cp ig

just test it out yourself its different for everyone

[mellow mauve]

depends on your paradise power

[shadow pasture]

dazzling arcane (dps orb) should give the most iirc

[quasi ledge]

Hi guys, i'm very new to the game, i didn't even start because i don't know what class i want to pick... I saw gunlancer and arcanist maybe

But i'm scared gunlancer is not stimulating enough and scared that arcanist is bad

[shadow pasture]

arcanist is very very good rn

and wdym by stimulating

[quasi ledge]

Like

Mecanically

Boring

Like

I just have a big shield and do nothing

[shadow pasture]

thats one of the builds

[quasi ledge]

Is gunlancer great ?

[shadow pasture]

gunlancer is also very good

i suggest watching gameplay of the two classes

[quasi ledge]

Yes i already did but i really don't know what to pick

Both seems great but idk

[shadow pasture]

if you can handle the apm arcanist

if not, pick gunlancer

[quasi ledge]

Okay

Thanks

And there is 2 version of the arcanist right ?

[shadow pasture]

yeah every class have 2 specs

[quasi ledge]

Like a ranged high APM one

And a melee one

[shadow pasture]

well everyone has to play melee

regardless of their actual range

[quasi ledge]

Oh okay i didn't know

So for you i should try out arcanist ?

[shadow pasture]

arcanist is on the harder side tho

worth noting

but its extremely rewarding once you learn it

[quasi ledge]

Wdym worth nothing ?

Oh yes

Like

When you don't master it you have low dmg ?

[shadow pasture]

worth noting as in to keep note of

[shadow pasture]

yea kinda

[quasi ledge]

Okay 👍

And so in PvE group content for exemple, do you prefer having a good gunlancer in your team or a good arcanist

[shadow pasture]

pretty hard question to answer

[quasi ledge]

Yes

[shadow pasture]

both classes are very good rn

[quasi ledge]

Okay

[shadow pasture]

both provide a shitton of stagger

they're both good choices just pick whatever you like

[quasi ledge]

Okay thanks ! Last question and i stop haha, does one class is better in PvP content or not ?

[shadow pasture]

well rn pvp doesnt exist, and pvp is pretty dead even when it existed

[quasi ledge]

Oh okay 👍

Thanks ! I think i'll try arcanist

[rose wren]

ull be like playing a piano whiles remember each card effect

[azure isle]

arcana is giga fun

[livid fossil]

gig fun for you might not be gig fun for some one else

[quasi ledge]

Haha let's go

[livid fossil]

Sure it is for you

[cyan garnet]

i claimed 4th anniversary package(?) from the product inventory but nothing in my in my inventory. where should I report this? anyone knows?

[misty heart]

is bard good for alt? Can I actually clear the solo raids?

and paradise

[rose wren]

everything clear solo raids

[misty heart]

and paradise?

[shadow pasture]

Same for paradise

[rose wren]

not sure on that, wait for more answers

[misty heart]

and its actually value to make support alts right? easier to get into raids?

[paper walrus]

everything clears solo raids, everything clears paradise

everything gets into raids, dont make a class if you think it gets you into raids, make a class because you want to play the class

[bold geyser]

bard is hella strong for solo raids as long as you respect tempest and focus your buffs on bigly arrows

for paradise you're at the mercy of drop luck until you get strong enough to T blast, same as any supp 🥲

[candid lake]

i honestly didnt mind bard and pally tho

but artist and valk

[bold geyser]

valk was fine this season it was awful when nobody knew how to build her 😄

[fervent mauve]

wrong chat guys

my bad

[azure isle]

if you want to make a bard and do everything in a group setting from the getgo, you'll be disappointed cuz majority of the content you will be doing solo as dps bard spec and until you are of ilvl where u can do group raids (assuming you wont get gatekept so fucking hard) you cant play support spec

[bold geyser]

artist im probably gonna KT for next season i haven't tried her in paradise

[misty heart]

oki thanks, I will probably do valkyrae

[livid fossil]

I dropped my artist that was siting on the bench doing nothing cause i just don’t have time for that.

If i want to dabble in support I have 2 Valkyrie that just need the accessories

[rose jewel]

Bard is not the greatest for an alt, even less for a new player unless you're willing to commit and invest in her, I would go any of the other 3 sups as an alt

[azure isle]

does this count as a rat

[rose jewel]

Valk has the advantage of extremely good DPS spec if you didn't like supporting in the end

Ehhh, a bit yes

The higher ilv the worse you will look with that cp

[azure isle]

do people do this intentionally to brick their character or something

[misty heart]

okay nice thanks. Actually I made a sorcerer since I liked the kit:) and next supp gonna be valk

[azure isle]

why hone if ur not ready in terms of literally every other progression system

[rose jewel]

Because they don't know better?

Teach them instead of making fun of them

[mellow mauve]

yes

[rose jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-jjk-nicevagg-anime-gif-22368283

[azure isle]

[misty heart]

can I get rid of this? somehow

cant dismantle

cant throw away

[azure isle]

sell

[misty heart]

okk

[azure isle]

also im not really making fun of anyone im just trying to see what is and isnt a rat

[livid fossil]

You can’t dismantle cause no mats to get out of it since everything is now msq

So
Take it
To the nearest potion merchant

[rose wren]

what they conver t1 t2 balls to?

abyssal gear

[vast oriole]

you can convert t1 mats to t3

[rose wren]

oh

[vast oriole]

i guess nothing?

who knows

its only kr that has it

think it was a beta

[livid fossil]

I swear I saw videos on the beta I. Could be wrong

[misty heart]

Also when I made alt - game gave me the gear for getting 1585. but not the jewellery. Can I get some preset jewellery from some exchange shop?

with some stats?

I am not I just wanna something to defeat the chaos haha

[livid fossil]

Waymark mission give relic

As placeholders

No more paradise next week and it comes back the following week

So unless you want to roll gold ones

[vast oriole]

waymark maybe has some?

[livid fossil]

From gr and stuff

[misty heart]

okay I actually didnt have jewellery in the chaos and it consumed the aura when I left

sadge

[vast oriole]

or check universal storage if you got anything

[misty heart]

Nice

[azure isle]

you get t4 accessories later too

[misty heart]

damn the quests to get from voldis to kurzan are kinda annoying xD

[azure isle]

whats the difference between a legendary and a relic astrogem?

they look identical

[lavish mortar]

Number of points total

Legendary is 4-15
Relic is 16-18
Ancient is 19-20

[quick breach]

which orb should i get?

[rose jewel]

if you're starting paradise, neither of the damage ones will be any good being honest, as they scale off paradise power, go for gentle projection to be safe

[azure isle]

[split kayak]

no way to upgrade stone from t3 to t4?

[balmy plank]

You can yes

When you dismantle t4 stones you get a dust thingy. 200 dust thingies to upgrade a stone

[mellow mauve]

you just go the stone npc and click upgrade

[split kayak]

ooooooo

neat

[split kayak]

thankers

[rose jewel]

unless

it's from a past event

some of those cant be upgraded, very old ones

[cyan kiln]

Yeah we had a previous event that gave a decent 2/2 stone. Keep it until the stone ai rolls a t4 one for you.

It gives less cp but no less power.

[candid lake]

does it actually give u cp tho?

if you're not a sup?

[azure isle]

is there a tier list of some sort for stones cuts

like 9/7 > 9/6 > 7/7 or something

jesus christ i cant speak

[mellow mauve]

not really

[azure isle]

how do i know whats better than a 7/7

[bold geyser]

pretty sure that's accurate tho

GENERALLY

[azure isle]

are there better cuts than a niner

[bold geyser]

10

[lavish mortar]

Just get a 10/10

[azure isle]

surely

[rose wren]

#lost-ark-help message

[vast oriole]

dps calc probably or the class channels

theres some nerds out there that can say

[azure isle]

oh so its class specific

[vast oriole]

yeah

[bold geyser]

yeah

[azure isle]

i cant just get a 9/7 and call it a day

spam noted

[vast oriole]

i mean

good luck gettign a 9/7

xD

[azure isle]

ive been extremely close to it

on several occasions

[vast oriole]

i got 1 9/7 and i prob cut more than 3k stones

[bold geyser]

any given 9/7 is better than 7/7 😄

[vast oriole]

yes me too

[azure isle]

im cursed with 67

[vast oriole]

got multiple 8/7 and 9/6

[azure isle]

hey

9/6

[vast oriole]

yeah, i use it

[bold geyser]

p good p good

[azure isle]

cant complain there

one of my alts running 7/7/7

[vast oriole]

i got a 9/7 on my least geared alt in my main roster xdd

[azure isle]

its always the alts

[vast oriole]

then i wanted to reward her because shes lucky

but smilegate refuse to give new hairstyles

[bold geyser]

just my SE so far 😄

[vast oriole]

[azure isle]

my fresh db with free taps got 100 quality weapon IMMEDIATELY

[vast oriole]

very angy

[azure isle]

-# i did delete her later we dont talk about that part

[vast oriole]

i uhh

(bard also has 100 qual weap)

[azure isle]

my only 100q weapon and its on an alt i yeeted

[vast oriole]

it doesnt make that much of a diff tbh

[azure isle]

it looks cool

[vast oriole]

its just prettier to see

[azure isle]

but iirc from 70s to 95 weapon q my gk got about 100cp

something like that

[vast oriole]

cp doesnt mean a lot

its fake a bit

a lot

[azure isle]

its not that it matters

its human brain

number go big we go happy

so many things insanely inflate cp

[vast oriole]

yes

[azure isle]

they should pull a monster hunter

and give us raw cp

[rose wren]

havent seen any gatekeeping in monster hunter, tho i dont really follow much

[azure isle]

i was referring to the non bloated attack power they let us see

non bloated cp in la case

[rose wren]

not in the detail button?
