guys as returnee what cardset should i be going for first?
its a dungeon but yeah
earth and fire
we dont have a western release date yet
earth > anything else
?cards
okgee
the mauve color
so relentless 2
no no, for the guy asking about klc
and what is for tfd
tfm?
u just go wishful after los
nothing changes with tfm its still kazeros
lmao
tbh doesnt matter in kaz
you only go earth if your supp has earth support set so they get extra stagger for checks
got to like 24
otherwise los is fine
you take a dps hit if youre running earth sub 30 vs los so i recommend just running that regardless
the stagger doesnt matter unless ur in HM
and even then it only matters in low stagger lobbies
Water card is useless until next year or something
yeah water isnt looking to get any use anytime soon
most new players should focus earth tho since they'll be stuck on mordoom for a while
ill be phasing out of it before i even finish earth 30 zzzz
just run los in everything and show smilegate we dont need no man to hold our hand with dr
if ur really worried about DR and youre not in a reclear lobby you can just run ether pred
relatively cheap book to max and useful in prog anyway later on
they are all the same dmg increase in non- weakness raids anyway
which is to say nearly everything
theres always deep dive as well but i digress
And take Grudge off

is there any leigion raid mechanic guides? or one video that goes through EVERY raid mechanics, so I dont have to search up a bajillion raid mechanic videos?
memorizer yt
maxroll or memo/deathboi
can public accept me gs1700 cp1600 doing mordum nm , armoche nm?
its possible if you have the mokoko leaf
if no mokoko ? need more cp?
if no mokoko then you need like power level over 9000 and 100x clear titles etc
and i you play wrong class you will get declined no matter what
1600 is on the low end, could be tough to find a party
juice
Fusions are the fusion materials, okay, destiny stones are the free karma destiny taps, okay, but what is honing support?
So the blue/red juice, not book?
what this stupid bug in lost ark message this account is already log in
glacier/lava's breath
ty
which bracelet is better for WF Aero?
do the new upcoming raids need new card sets? would they take prio over collecting earth/fire?
kinda have a lot of card packs saved over the years
damn what
armoche is free
and mord nm same
Not saying you can't clear with 1600, but likely hard to find a party without a leaf.
I guess I was mostly commenting on a4, dunno normal mordum standards atm but probably fine enough
do we have a sheet with al lhell rewards of s3
if it didnt change, https://sekwahar.github.io/hellrewards/Rewards_Tables.html
but havent done a key yet
ty ulti
the 1730 and 1700 keys didnt appear to change
based on rewards ive seen so far from normal hell drops
kkk ty m9
Is there some resource on what a good bracelet is for dps?
I'm rolling a bunch and I'm getting somewhat good ones but im just unsure
Unless you min maxing, just take the 5 lines with 2 main stat, and what ever effects give higher combat power, and not the line for support, chaos dungeon and the line that only work for position, unless you are position
guys what is more mat efficient, running kurzan front everyday or only run rested ones?
run everyday, you spend 100% of time for 100% of reward
rested only, you spend 33% of time for 66% of reward
Which merchant can I buy Chaos Stone from? The old merchant is gone, I can't find him. If anyone has any information, could you please help? Thanks.
why u need chaos stones?
can i get exact numbers of hell chests rewards for each level. is there any information about it
(they are in solo shop npc)
thanks a lot
if u want to tap Quality, then its dumb dont do it
Thanks
if u need to craft armors -> go clear some raids, its basicly free
ok, ty egain
for the extra elysian tickets we get aside from the weekly five that we have to use during that week, we're supposed to save them for Elysian lvl 10 when it becomes available right?
yes that's probably the best plan
I guess you can use one on a level below 10 if you really struggle to clear a specific crucible level
understood tyvm!!
?advhoning
Optimal Advanced Honing Order
Standard: +12 -> 1-10 -> +14 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.
Express: +14 -> 1-10 -> +16 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.
Calculated with no additional materials (Books & Solars) and full on grace for advanced honing (Scrolls & Solars used on full grace only). Personal costs may vary when using an abundance of these items should you have them. You can estimate your costs using Maxrolls Honing Calculator https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator
For advanced honing +30 on gear, do you get special effects there that are worthwhile aswell?
nono I mean
when you finished advanced honing
Does your armor also get some effect?
Like weapon has "Base effect +2%"
Does gear also have that?
Yes
So I should finish honing a piece to +10 and then go next alright
Yup, some people like doing AH40 weapon straight away but its also expensive
Yes
You can do +30s first
I'm tryin to hit 1710 so I can do kazeros nm
This week I'll be unmokoko'd
Atleast thats my plan
Yeah then just do +30
I only need 2 pieces
so i guess doing gloves + shoulder is best for me since it has most strength
i did weop
sitting on 1.6k fusion mats rn bound idk if ill need more on main
u have to cut the accesories so its not rly worth
with silver tho
is there any other way to get mats for advanced honing level 2 other than the hard raid?
i think ye
then no idea
accessories obtained from paradise only cost silver, it costed gold at the beginning of paradise but they changed it
:O
Oh man if i knew :c
which one should i pick from those
i think accesorry>astrogem
unsure about where to fusions sit
since i got 1.6k bound
are they bound tho?
yes
okok next week then 
personally I don't like to pick astrogem because they still require gold, I might choose it when there is nothing good for me and I have a relic core I want to activate, if you think you have enough fusion mats then accessories is the way to go imo
Oh ok nvm then
Solo shop?
I dont remember if its hm mats there or nm
I would add that you never have enough fusion mats
But accessories are more important right now
orbies for ah11-20 is solo shop 
Mordum not echidna
guys how to obtain dmg or cd gems now
it used to be from cubes and daily dungeon
looks like daily dungeon do not drop gems now
well that brings another question
where does astrogems drops
if there is a guide you can recommend
it will be helpfull too
Mats, cube tickets
Im adding
i see
so do people take me their raids cause i don't have any astrogem
im 1730 with 0 astrogem
ummm
and bunch of alts with again 0 astrogem
well how did u end up with 0 of the NEWEST system
gonna be hard
which ilevel does astrogems starts tho
1700
100% u wont do any hard mode raids (act4 and kazeros) without ark grid
its fine for no ark grid thats sure
they are top %14 so it should be fine
but act4 hard they want ppl with title/ark grid done mostly (or semi done with Order ark grid set)
surely u want to do karma for ur alts
start with solo shop (gold) ark grid (legendary, box have core and 3 epic gems)
one last question
what is the best choice here
my main or my alts
considering im not gonna hone them above 1700
pick main
it will give u 2 lege cores
that will headstart ur ark grid overall
- boxes are Roster bound
You can do act 4 hm with your main, i dont think people will take you for kaz hm tho
ppl will be picky with no ark grid for act4 hard
Yeah but its possible
for paradise accs should i roll all or only highest stat ones?
roll all
and stop after 2 bad rolls?
well sorry for asking lots of questions but what is the difference between those 2
one of them is stronger?
and can i upgrade the legendary one to the right one
relics are WAY WAY stronger and also easier to activate
u want lege "activator" and Relic "usage of activated buff"
u need to drop relic in raid and use it, it will auto swap with lege
my mind is blowing with how much thing added to the game
ofc pick cores acroding to ur build (with nexus)
feels like i need to watch some guides
thats like elixirs 2.0 with even more GOLD sink
u want SUN to be relic for most part
Order - Sun
and ur lege will be Order Moon core
If you can only get one relic, make sure you open up Alt +D and search the cores relic versions to see what the 17 point bonus gives you.
Make your first selection based off of that
Some classes NEED one of the cores relic for the intended builds to work (triple doomsday sorc for example)
Ask in arcana chat and make sure you select the correct relic core for the build you wanna go
Ass troll gem, cutting on blue and legendary core is still a pain in the butt
You only have one for now so it’s important
Huh
More like elixir 2.0
The gem probability itself is better than the bottle, but you have to do it 24 times
The rarity of the relic core and purple astrogem is annoying
hey guys, do we know when the next express would be?
how many times do we get it a year.. i was hoping to try a new character..
usually 3 times a year
sinc emay has merges
we will prob get it in summer with the new class
ohhh theres a new class again??
ohhh didnt know tht thanks!!
It’s a random chest
If it was a selector sure, but you run the risk of getting not what you want for a high end raids worth of gold
I would not burn all my gold on it, no
which one do I pick?
special honing me thinks - and don't forget to use Altar if you can 
used alter on first floor in this run xd so got 2x but no keys to gamble left
got 3k special stones, used 1000 of them to go from full 18 to 19 armor (didnt use on wep)
Should I use on wep? 3% chance 18-19
i'd use it on armor if you want to push for ilvls
alright, yeah was thinking so. Wep consumes so many so easier to hit upgrades on armor
Hi! I need help 😭 I'm so lost on how to level up my gear, I have so much difficulty and just spended all my gold lol

Hey guys
Is it worth picking bracelet over special honing in hell ?
Considering my bracelet is bad (i haven't bought the one from the shop yet)
I just turned 1700
Is this your main
yes
Specials
Oof that's a lot of specials
You’ll be pushing anyway, you can just buy the gold shop bracelet when you get around to it
Free taps are quite literally free honing if they hit
1.3k
It’s 20 per armor and 50 per weapon
Yeah that's why I kinda didn't want to pick thoose up
If you’re pushing item levels it’ll be armors
I feel like it's gona do nothing :p
special honing is literally crack
You do hell for free, you tap for free
What about accessory
There’s nothing better than free
How much silver you got
65M
then yeah tap 2x per item (if its nice line then tap 3rd time)
if u have a special char in ur name for the inherited will quest, is there a easy way to ctrl+C and ctrl+v this
Alright let me grab a guide to see waht stats i need
?accessory
@drowsy barn ^
It's same for everyone ?
So weapon power is useless then?
no?
Bo
the flat i mean
its not BAD, but JUST flat weapon power is meh
When cutting you only care about the % values not the flats
But if you start with a flat, it’s worth cutting again to see if you get the % you want
All accessories that come out of hell boxes are minimum quality for max enlighten points
Starting out you don’t care about that stuff only the lines
Min max later
Your accessory progression is basically:
- mid/lows from waymark quest
- Single highs from gold shop
- Mid mid OR high lows from hell accessories or market if you’re lazy
- Gamble hell chests for high mid/ high high chances (very low chance)
Yes, you’d be looking for a high atk %
It’s just silver so it’s worth tapping for the chance
Alright thanks !
Just don’t go crazy with accessory tapping. Mind your silver. You’re low item level and fast pushing honing while also cutting hell accessories will drain your silver fast
That 100k silver per tap adds up fast
We don’t have great silver farming methods atm. Just be mindful
Ratio as in?
the amounts for blue/purp/orange are fixed
some classes likely prefer one over the other, but both are good
Ratio as in crit% over crit dmg if you don't meet a certain ratio
basically all the classes want cdmg except pistoleer and pba
Ehhhhh
Your overall crit value needed depends class to class due to different ark passive set-ups
true
Crit optimization is important, just later on. For now your goal is to get both crit rate and dmg in a ring
Ideally high/low or mid/mid
how do i know which pricing is the right one
should i cut this im brand new to the system and has no astrogem right now
well yeah
Yellow =high purple=mid blue = low
check recent tabs to see what people are buying it at
what u want to do?
u cant sell UNTRADABLE 
^^^
Goofy ahh
That wouldn't sell for much anywah
Is there a particular moment to spend special honing or can I just spend it all now on armor ?
spend it when you feel lucky
30k gold is one alt to 1585 
Spend it as you get it if you’re pushing ilvl
Armor for ilvl
Weapon for power
Ah so probably so weapon then
crit/swift is way too CHEAP
to be able to do the raid
i use it on the last level i'd want to hone
well youre 1700 just do armor
for ilvls
then get carried
so 19-20 for characters i care about
how do I delete thoose
is this good or not
Sell to vendor
order is bad i guess but
General merchant in town
yeah
and the other 2 is side stats
Red and yellow is all you care about starting out
and i just hit 2x more cost at the start should i cut that too
you should till wear it tho
Disgusting, no
better nothing like you said
I ain’t tapping shit for 1800 per
i would end the cutting if i hit 2x early
insta reset 
shit will drain you of all your gold if you blink
Just back out and dismantle or use a reset ticket
Use a reset ticket if you have one
16200 gold is not the end of the world 😛
i do have 4
I only recommend using reset tickets on purples
required willpower is 7 for this one
not sure how good is that or has to do anything with cutting this tho
what about legendary ?
There is no legendary for ark grid
soon
It’s green blue purple
For now
thats the "cut" ones
you already finished cutting it
Ah okey !
the Cut ones are Lege/Relic/Ancients
That’s post manufacturing. They turn into legendary, relic, or ancient based on cumulative points during the processing part
and they increase their type for amount of points in total
u dont rly care, u want 5/5 Willpower/Order for start
this is a crazy start no?
surely +4 
lets see
+3
Nice free tap
not bad
Yeah basically cut all ur willpower 8/9 gems (stability/solidity for order?) if you’re trying to cut for points. I don’t really recommend cutting 10s ever
bruh, luck of newbies ...
oh so this is good
to get your grid active yeah
how do i gauge my bracelet strength?
Heh, no other, still 2 of them pretty good
does it mean i got an upgrade if it can overpower this inflated bracelet?
Are people doing hard raid ?
i cut some juicers but some reduce cp some give more cp
like 1670 -> 1690 one for example ?
If your weapon is sub 20 you benefit greatly from those weapon power lines
it is 20
this gives me +11 cp, rest reduces it
but even something like this (swift isnt usefull for me that much) is WAY better than gold shop one
yeah use new
oke
Wanna see the stupid brace my alt cut
new bracelet (alt ofc
)
thats CHAOS gem, not so usefull
My aero eats good as fuck

Free taps 21 weapon, then cuts that thing
She’s like 2k cp with 0 books at 1705 and still wearing lvl 6 gems
oh you are right didn't knew about that
thanks
thats why i regular tap to 19 and special to 20 😄
im trying to special tap my weapon 24->25 and it's 0.5% 🥲
I usually leave gear at 18 and free tap weapon til it hits 20+
Then after that’s done I start free tapping armors while I manually advance hone
Slower process but pretty cost efficient
thats what we all pretty much did no
thats the more mindful thing to do, but some ppl pray on hitting 1.5% instead of just finishing their AH

I was a little impatient the first time around
can I use the same set of brilliant gems in different presets?
you can
like can I swap them over to other skills in one preset and they auto switch when swapping
between presets
correct
okok ty
?cards
What does relentless 1 and 2 mean?
just literally what the pack is called
When you get a legendary card pack there are 5 different types of sub-packs inside. THose are the 5 names. Relentless 1 & 2, Spirit 1 & 2 & finally Wishful
Thats why we're here
no harm done, ask away 😛
what would you recommend? to focus on if I only have LoS?
Earth/Dark?
Not dark. and it depends on your ilvl range for your roster really
3x 1701, 1640, 1640 XD
3x 1689, 1640,1640 XD
Lightning - Krathios (1720), Brel G1&G2 (1670+)
Earth - Skolakia (1680), Mordum G3 (1680+)
Fire - Drexalas (1700), Armoche G2 (1700+)
Water - Used by nothing right now
Dark - Tree guardian but only if youre 1730+ on some weeks
Relentless 2 probably for you. You can go for both Lightning & Earth and your roster will get good use out of those
Alright cheers
another newbie question. I right clicked my ark core, but I cant find it under "ark grid"
click ","
thanks!
Any lore person know what that 7th cutscene is from? I'm tryin to watch all raid cutscenes before I do the next storyline
Any way to farm Destiny Leapstone? I'm stuck at 1672.5 cause I dont have any to honing
Did you do hell did you do chaos
chaos dungs, world boss, crucible (paradise bosses boxes)
solo shop + event shop
My db1700 now I can try Drexel tomorrow lol hope ur a lot better than scorpion
drex is like puppy, its so fun to do him
I did some of those
btw
a question
should I stop doing Crucible when I achieve 100% or keep doing
Min/Max Guide for Early Elysian & Crucible _
For more Paradise info: https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/paradise-guide
both or chose 1?
1->2->3->4->5----10 or more (unlocked by week)
do ALL of them
follow this route from bot
the goal of crucible is ranking on the leaderboards, if you're stuck and cant go any further you dont have to keep banging your head against it
in those paradise boxes bracelet, on dps and supp what do i even dismantle and what do i bother cutting
usually i'd need one great line (spec) but do people do two or what
this for example try or dimsnatle
about to cook in cd
is there an easy way to track party debuffs to use charm
look at them
look at party
also charm is rng
Party buffs are displayed under their names/hp in wherever your party ui is
and are these on left side permanent
its hard to tell for me since im not so familiar with deboof icons
One side is weekly rewards, you keep the title/banner for that week. The other side is end of season permanent rewards
for which raid
any
well for if someone is stunned like in kaz
i just watch the person
i dont watch the debuffs bar
If the person stop moving I pretty sure something happened

what do I do with shit rolls? can I remove them somehow
Where can I use Pirate Coins?
You can fuse them with other shit ones
ahh ye saw now, thans keknobi
buying sea things
like the enlighting potion thing

"When <Destiny> is activated..:" what exactly is Destiny?
ark grid buff ye? but what does it do
need one core to activate destiny, one for destiny to do something
Sun core is what destiny is
Meaning if you have a sun core but no moon core you don't get your destiny buff
And vice versa
example on artist
Ye its 14 on both min to get destiny buff
ah I kinda understand now, couldve been worded better for smol brainers like me haha
so this gives me 1 soulstone from sun basically, as soon as I sue 4 ghast skills
yes
blue max hp vs blue int supp bard bracelet fast
int for buffing
max hp for cp padding
just go for int
do I count as a mokoko first 10 clears of a raid?
im 1708 atm and thinking of staying below 1710 just to get more mokoko stuff
yeah, you lose it for the raid after x30 roster clears for a specific raid or you hit 1710 on a character (whole roster loses mokoko)
then maybe better to stay below 1710? sort out gems and such (cp overall) and slowly get my alts up?
yeah
aite
I need to reach 1730 before 13th of May aswell right? to get all rewards from Guardianknight challenge
I would use it as an opportunity to learn the current raids while you’re still a koko since it’s pretty much free access to your on ilvl raids. Once you’ve gotten what you can get out of it, maybe a few weeks before the koko event ends, then I would push past 1710 so you can also benefit from the expert shop
not really no, you don't need anything, most people just wait till they get bound honing materials. google lostark mat maxroll calc
and most likely 1720 is good enough. for now enjoy the game while having mogogo icon.
1730 is good enough its also reset breakpoint for t4.5
this one feels pretty juicy tho, so, calc 1720? then a day or two before 13th, I just hone 1708-1720?
ah thats 1710 even
asschecks?
how is right one (just cut) more cp?
is left one better despite the cp?
Higher your weapon level, the less weapon power gives dmg increases due to the “bucket” being more full. In simple terms
left one is better
WP lines are also a bit inflated
ahh
what about support spec, the one with wall of text and purple numbers gets me to 1696cp from 1654 and other one takes me to 1680cp
Just remember that outgoing dmg is increasing your total damage after everything else is considered
Generally, outgoing is a line you’re seeking
ic
So 8-10% outgoing dmg is a much larger damage buff than 2.5 and some weapon power
Regardless of the CP number
And the 6% atk ms probably makes up for the low swift stat
On support? Swift mostly is for cdr ngl
elysian?
Was still referencing the dps bracelet
Ah then yea as helps a bit
Unless u know the way the lines give dmg it can’t be challenging to discern between a good brace or not
More text = better 
lol

yeah that's the plan, already did.
though i'd pick bracelets out of the 3
500 more wont hurt 
thats all i have on my lil artist i dont play as sup anymore
but its like 300-400 cp for free
that's mine according to the characters website

Can someone check my 200 bracelet boxes 
holy
the difference between floor 99 and 100 is so crazy
lmao
but yeah a mid chest is like so not worth
lvl 6 chest is still less than a single day of chaos gg
aint no way i type this
and next run i do its a floor 99
so now i can feel the dread of being 1 away from more than double the rewards
miss the 25%
the fk
can it give me the extra descent multiple times in the same run?
cuz i just had one alraedy
it should be able to
oh maybe it cant give the same bonus cause it would look weird if you can pick 5 chests
yeah true
also that maxroll guide/pic is outdated
it says 160k shards for lvl 9 chest but i got 245k
had to better chest to pick so i ended up picking shards anyways lol
welph
look like it can
maybe it can for all of them except the extra chest
this is just the wealth efect
no wait maybe it can
i might just have created a memory but i feel like ive gotten 5 chests once
yeah would been nice if it was hp but what can you do, can't get vive liners 
hell is the same as ever, right?
Yes
So far as we know
astrogem selection is....one of those pick-from-6-epic chests?
the rarity and amount is based on the floor i believe

thanks
how much cp is good at 1700 without grid?
my valk is cursed or something i cant get right core right rarity
1700 is ok i think?
Like no cores at all or some cores but no destiny
Oh
you can probably hit 1800
But ye 1700 is fine
1800 will put you in a good spot but even 1600 is clearable
just ppl gatekeep
and usually i see 1800 later in the week but early should see a lot more 1600-1700 parties
im 1664 am i able to advance hone?

Is bad 
yeah im hopefully getting to the point where i dont need gems as badly anyhow
nothing active
cuz all wrong
is new gear t4.5 require new special honing mats? 
all of those can be upgraded 5:1 from the lower tier
is bard a challenging class to play? I see people claiming shes complex, but I don't see why? whats different than the typical brand application, dps buff, meter-generation + spending playstyle of other supports?
shes very animation lock
and her ceilling is way higher than other chars
if you want to reach ceilling, you need to remove shield on one of your skill
but you still need to provire dr for your team
so less tolls to do it
i think the main problem with bard is she feels dated compared to the other 2/3
what do you mean with "she feels dated"?
shes the oldest support she got qol
very recently
but shes still very old
the fast that you still cant heal with only 1 bar is atrocious
and giga bad design
people ran away when they see the area, so its 0healing
I like mature women
if u want u can roll some gems just to fill slots for some boss dmg to get some extra CP
Don't you main artist...
mature smol woman?
short
valk and artist just play more fluid
i cant speak for pala last time i used that was old brel
trying to understand what 111 striker db build means and 333, they said its correlated to ark cores but confused by what that menas
in the list order
gotcha ty
^
this is on my deathblade as an example so 111 would be Deathblade surge - Sun, Surge Core - Moon, Strike - Star in that order
only if you play surge
if its re, your 111 would be art master arts core and whatever that last star is
does atropine counter ss
bleh
thats called skill issue
ss 65
What are the best ability stone engravings for supp?
drops of shit awakening
No expert?

we're all mostly voice shy, maybe try in official aswell with there so call "mentor" to help newbies out
im not but its late
arent u a cat? how they understand😅
I appreciate the resources. im still trying to figure out how to efficiently cut astrogems and what ones I should get from the openable chests I have. I've watched 3 videos and read two guides and am still abit lost. I know what cores my class needs for my build but the astrogems are what im hung up on currently
usually cut in prio any 8 costs
yes, even greens
you want the lowest will power with the highest order/chaos points
i personally just cut everything
and when i see its doomed, i go next
yellow+red=highest possible number, 5/5 is the goal to slot as many as possible opening up the options the core has
you can make do with a lower number, its just basic math
the side options are minmax for after you get your core to 17+
that should sum it all up
(and if youre a millionnaire)
I have 400k gold and im at 1700 Ilevel, is it even worth it to focus on ark grid currently or should I just spend my gold on honing?
Not really advised to hone more without doing ark grid
Youll need ark grid done at least somewhat to get groups after bootcamp is gone
the higher your ilv the more cp you need to have
your cp needs to be higher than your ilv starting now to look good or at least decent on pugs
Just cut the blue and purple stablity , better odds to have will efficiency and point
all these nasty ugly gatekeepers unfortunately
I literally get denied from every single raid group ive applied to so I ended up doing all the raids up to act 4 solo. watched guides on each one.
what is your cp ?
Thats like... 1670ilvl cp or lower
no ah30 done
you're missing out on a lot of progress besides ark
ah30 is for 1710 woman
You dont even need ah 30
dismiss ah for now
They don't need more ilvl. They need to invest in their char elsewhere
everywhere else*
83 enlight points / 101
i would argue weap 30 would be nice for cp but sure
that gold can go for karma
Bracelet is pretty scuffed, missing a lot of enlight points, single mid line accessories is pretty rough, gear quality especially 75q wep is really low
Yeah I just got back into the game 2 days ago. last played 3 years ago, again I hate to ask but I do have a VC going right now if anyone is able to hop in and check my screen share and give some guidance
😅
I might be able to help if your still there
my bad I was tabbed out watching a guide. any insight would be very much appreciated
@shy chasm
is there a way to turn on notification for stuff that is expiring? i swear i used to have it but not anymore
wait hold on i cant use mic rn
all good take your time!
thats fine
that depends on a million reasons
how're you looking, where are you trying to go, the party you're trying to get into
seems like you dont need further help?
yeah most of game and players aren't friendly to new players and the game have a lot to learn so manage your expectations
also wednedsay is the weekly reset day so it is mostly people try harding and want to get done ASAP, try friday or weekend.
but depends on raid and all that bs

i appreaciate you
Whats the difference between the poison and bleed effects in skill runes?
they stack
not really
if nexus says you can use both then you can use both, if not then it means you're better using other runes that will help you much more than a lil bit of dot
Oh ok ty
Does anyone know the approximate chance to drop a relic core in HM A4 or kaz?
does it matter what skill my gem is faceted on for cp?
no
the atk bonus is what's calculated
tier 3 gems give 0 cp
im looking at my star core accelerated burst and it says " With Tenacity, energy buster damage +75%" Is tenacity a buff that im not familiar with? probably a very mokoko question but im trying to learn
class?
that would be your skill's tripod, on the 2nd row to be exact
ok I see it gives +75% damage if i have tenacity on my 2nd tripod but the one the build guide reccomends is the first slot which is 55% and changes damage type to fire. would it be better to go with tenacity to take advantage of the core buff? class Is machinist/scouter btw
always play the tripod that your core buffs
but also make sure your cores are correct, sometimes certain cores work better together
appreciate it!
hmm nvm
what do we upgrade now in paradise?
is the game still meant to be MMO based or is it turning more into a SOLO leveling type game?
Old content is mostly solo, new content/end game is group content.
thank lawd after 4k hrs in this game i achieved greatness
+2.3cp

not the channel for it
how do I get processed destiny stones? Tried gooling, says act 2 hard mode, but I only see regular destiny stones there
They are from Hell or sometimes other events like mokoko express
ah okok
another question - Netherkeys are garbage? I used 2 keys, Died on floor 8 and floor 9 back to back floors that insta kills me
Just buy out scrolls from the solo shop for a few weeks
Quit and claim rewards after dieing 1 time
Top left above the floor count there is an option to "quit and claim rewards"
I Jumped to floor 1, died, got relic books, got grudge once
Its all gambling in the end
Floor 6 rewards is better than no rewards

How much should bid on a astrogem at field boss/chaos gate
seems good to me 
if its 8 cost, <43k
maybe higher if its 9/10 cost
its 9 willpower
i paid 10k no idea how much i should paid
and i barely have any astrogem too
not bad then
also do i buy out act4 nm boxes for ark grid?
alright ty
if its a main? ye
i would
nm is low enough to get pity, you dont want to be even slower
alts dont really need ark grid for kaz tho
and if ur pushin 1720 then u buy at hm act 4
its main
hes a new player, he doesnt have alts at 1700
