Hi, I'd like to get a "wealth" rune, and actually, this dungeon says I'll get one, I did it and I didn't get it, and even when I watch people doing it on YouTube, they don't get the rune.

[supple shoal]

its not 100% you get it probably there is just a chance you get it

[charred drum]

oh okay, thanks

[dim pulsar]

go to codex (alt+D) and search Wealth it will show what sources of that rune is easier to get (lagoon was easiest for purple if u still dont have that one)

What does the gameplay of the Valkyrie class consist of?

[outer mason]

it's either support -> you buff your team, you shield and heal them
or dps -> you use normal skills to gain meter, at 100% meter, you use [X] to deal massive damage

you need 15 skill casts to have 100% meter, even if you don't hit the boss

[azure isle]

*only for dps spec

support meter works differently

[azure isle]

wouldnt it be easier to the eye if all of the information from 2 commands combined to be in a sheet/excel wtv?

[balmy plank]

They serve 2 very different purposes

[azure isle]

well it could still be one link to 2 pages excel with everything in them accordingly

[balmy plank]

Quickstart is intended to be first steps after powerpassing to get you started and keep you busy for the first couple hours.
Guides command covers a wide variety of different subjects like new player stuff, events, informations etc

We have everything in 1 spot in #guides-and-info

[outer mason]

wouldn't linking to that channel be better than using the quickstart and guides commands?

[azure isle]

[balmy plank]

Sure, maybe it is

I link to what I feel is the most appropriate. If someone says they powerpassed and are confused I give em Quickstart. If someone is asking for general new player info I send em Guides. If someone is just looking for a wide variety of information for both new players and vets that cover every single aspect I sent them to #guides-and-info

It says fire spirited flame card set is good for a4 g2. Does that mean water wonderful winds breath is an a5/kaz thing?

No. Nothing for kaz.

https://lostark.bible/character/CE/Boobaandguns what direction should i take my roster im unsure if i hone 1710 becouse of losing mokoko status so should i push some alts or just invest into main? im thinking about getting 2nd gs 1700 aswell or 1680 and arcana 1680

[signal aurora]

Trying to learn a4 nm for now. Seems annoying to switch from g1 los, to g2 fire. But i can just make presets i guess.

[tender flicker]

maybe some day we get a water weak boss

[cyan kiln]

The only thing useful is earth set and that's strictly to increase stagger for support.

[tender flicker]

most people just swap cards before the fight

half the time someone will mention cards

[cyan kiln]

Just setup a preset, one key combo to change.

[signal aurora]

I have full 30 set on all of them. Just trying to figure out which ones are worth having presets for

[vast oriole]

While you change battle items, change cards

[cyan kiln]

In case someone doesnt know, mass presets are ctrl-a (s, d, f, g etc in order)

[signal aurora]

so it seems if i'm learning a4 nm. Los for g1, and spirited fire for g2.

[vast oriole]

If youre 1730, you will need pretty much all the card sets

[signal aurora]

cool

[vast oriole]

Since guardians will be on rotation

[tender flicker]

I swapped my presets to f2, f3, f4 etc. More convenient when doing stuff like cube.

[cyan kiln]

I thought I was free from skolakia forever

but noooo

[vast oriole]

Noppppe

[signal aurora]

I'm not really doing the guardians. OR worrying about rotations. I'm over cp needed for things cause i play alot, but havn't learned beyond brel nm for a4.

[cyan kiln]

I really dislike skolakia the most out of all t4 guardians.

[vast oriole]

So you spit on free gold from gems

I see

[signal aurora]

Just trying to learn a4 nm so i can do that when i'm in the mood for group raids each week instead of doing a pointless gold nerfed aegir solo.

[vast oriole]

And i was saying guardians will rotate

One week will be krathios, next would be another one, etx

You should do hm tho

[signal aurora]

But i'm super nervous to learn a4 nm. Ideally i prog it in a learning group. But i'm waiting for replies on discord atm. Some people said i can just wing it, and i would tell any group that accepts me. But i don't wanna cause raid wipes. So i gotta make sure i don't overlap for g1 clone mech.

[supple shoal]

anyone?

[signal aurora]

g2 i dunno yet. I'm rewatching it a few times right now before i attempt to pug without prog.

[vast oriole]

Well nm just melt way too hard

And you have indicators for everything

Can just wing it

[signal aurora]

Are there any wipe mechs i need to worry about in g2 a4 nm?

[vast oriole]

I dont know why you would do bm instead of hm

But you cant really single handly wipe there

Just dont pick up the shield to throw at the boss

[signal aurora]

the shield pick is g2?

[vast oriole]

And check your position for statues

Yes

Watch videos

And wing it

[signal aurora]

lemme rewatch this vid to try and understand that better.

i watched a bunch, but slow learner heere. hard for me to retain without reps in the actual raid

[vast oriole]

You dont learn much in nm

Boss just dies

You have all indicators of what the boss will do

[signal aurora]

K thanks though, i'm feeling more hopeful about being able to do this. i've progged many raids from t3 and i know norm brel very well now.

but i mostly solo since i came back, and try to make sure i'm way more cp than needed for anything i learn due to bad experiencesd.

K gonna watch a few times then look for a lobby. Thanks. I did post some stuff in lfg channels today. To learn/prog the raid. so hopefully that can happen so that i'm confident with pugging this raid.

but i would really like to get an idea of the raid atleast. Sucks there's no way i can check it out without pugging atm. Thanks everyone

G1 just remember your clock position, space bar out after she starts moving when you bait her straight into the wall. Even on the shadow part, you can kinda follow the crowd. Odds are, at least some people will hit the counter. Jump rope I recommend using your hyper awakening to help burst and space bar early, don't sweat jumping both at once. The fight kinda sucks, but is easy enough.

G2 be careful around the edges, don't get beybladed, remember your side and #, be conservative with your getup/spacebar (ex. don't need to use during stagger check unless you're gonna die), don't drop aoe on pillars in sandstorm if he isn't dead by then. Most of his moves are pretty clearly telegraphed.

[coarse apex]

What astrogem "shape" should I keep and what do I dismantle? I've seen top players equip mostly stability and corrosion and some times distortion.
I have some purple destruction and solidity astrogems and don't know what to do with them

[dim pulsar]

dont dismantle rares and epics

u should fuse them most of time

[rich verge]

if you have relic cores you can cut all blues and purples provided u have the gold

[tender flicker]

The lower the willpower, the easier it is to cut into something usable. So 8s are ideal when starting out. When you get to min maxxing, some people will cut higher willpower ones since their side nodes are better.

Stability/corrosion will be your friends

Focus on yellow and red nodes to start, side nodes don't matter at all if you don't have enough red/yellow

[coarse apex]

Yea thanks for showing me that image bro i didn't know lol

thanks guys much appreciated

[tender flicker]

If you have reset tickets, I'd use them after mostly cutting a purple stability (red 8wp gem) and its gonna turn out bad. Like if there is one cut left, click the top button for reset since they can be harder to come by and red>blue in terms of impact.

[charred drum]

Do you know how I can get some?

[vast oriole]

events, amethyst shards or market blue crystal

[dim pulsar]

arna knows the way

dont forget to buy shop

[tender flicker]

Most people tend to lean on events for dyes

[dim pulsar]

just dont dye ur skins like arna, 99% of the time she CANT dye cuz she used all of them already

[vast oriole]

not true.

hii guys, how can we tell that the armoche is coming toward us before the stones break on the X290?

[balmy plank]

He does a set number of attacks on each step of the mech

[paper walrus]

290 is the train

[wide flume]

Is the new healing orb better than the old one?

[paper walrus]

less healing, overall more effective health IF you can use up the shields, which is difficult to use effectively

[balmy plank]

ohh oops

[paper walrus]

you just have to react left or right, only arcana or reaper can tell beforehand with their debuffs

if you have too much trouble, use ts or hyper

[signal aurora]

well i tried it. Told them i never did it, they said it's cool. we did g1 no prob. But g2 stagger fail and then someone afk. :/

[paper walrus]

did you join a proper learning party or did it say 1-2 hw?

[rose wren]

does the boss become immune? wonder if CO also detect early

[paper walrus]

co might but like pets just run straight up and idk if you can tell if they wnat to be left or right

[signal aurora]

was a random nm g1-g2. told them right away i never did it. They said it's ok. But in g2, some zerk went afk.

[paper walrus]

thats one you then, join a proper learning party
dont assume everyone is on board with a learner, especially if it isn't labelled new players welcome

[signal aurora]

i told em, i could switch an engraving to vph since our dps no prob. but they clicked to leave. so now were 7 lookin for 8th to unjail. they said i did fine

[paper walrus]

don't wait around for a party to start, make your own
ping the discords, make a schedule
it takes longer to fill, but at least you will find people who are willing to spend a long time to clear

[signal aurora]

g2

[paper walrus]

before g1

[strong moat]

you've gotten yourself into this situation, 5 different people have told you to make a proper learning party.

[paper walrus]

dont join a group that are looking for reclears unless you're actually a reclear

[strong moat]

we can't help you if you ignore everything we say

[robust remnant]

yaa i know that but some ppl know before the stones disappear

[paper walrus]

theres a silhouette of the boss

its hard to see, but its not that useful anyway since if you're not playing on ping you can react

[signal aurora]

lul, my game dc when we found replacement for g2, but they were still fighting when i got back in. They restarted and we cleared. i only did 321m dps. and used all my ele pots

wasn't for gold cause i finished all my gold earners already on wed. But i'm super happy i cleared once semi blind. That tells me i can do it again. I didn't cause any raid wipe. But the main struggle was a g2 stagger mech where he kept pushing down. I threw everything i could n ww, but it felt like it barely made a dent . and if i got knocked. i was taking crazy big damage.

[lavish mortar]

That stagger isn't that hard if people know how to do it

You have a ton of time for it after all

[signal aurora]

Well, i tried to find a learning party. But noone replied back other than for possibly next week. Then others said i could just join. I told the group that i joined i never did the raid before and they said it's all good. We cleared it no prob just now, but had a problem cause someone went afk.

I don't feel that i ignored what people said. But it sure seems you want me to feel like crap for trying to have fun and enjoy the game. I dunno what to say to that. Thank you for any advice you gave i guess?

[signal aurora]

Well it's super new to me. We 1 shot cleared the raid when i got back in from the dc. i apoligized for not being good. Noone game me crap. Someone said i did fine.

[strong moat]

i aint reading allat

[signal aurora]

I really wanna learn the finer details of what i did bad. But i'm super glad i did it, despite the mixed comments. Noone in the raid was upset with me since i was super honest with them. I spammed darks, brought ele pots, and did the best to my knowledge.

Glad i got to see the whole raid. But i would love to learn it inside out so i can pug with confidence.

[strong moat]

that's what a learning party is for.... like 5 different people have told you to open in the first place

[signal aurora]

I was getting mixed messages to be honest. It actually went perfectly fine and the people there said i did fine. But there was a 1720 zerk that afk'd. I dunno the details. Or if it was my fault. I apoligized if it was. Noone said it was my fault. I cruel fightered both gates and g1 we cleared 1 shot without me dying.

[rose wren]

being mvp is whatever

[signal aurora]

And i wanted to do a learning party. But noone was msging me back about it.

The group i joined i told them i never did it. They said it's ok. It made the whole experience more fun. But to be honest. The way ur pointing out over and over that i should've just not done what i did and waited however many hours, days, or so on to get a learning party going.. ... it's very unfriendly.

I'm super glad i listened to others that said just go for it. Cause it worked out. The options it opens up opposed to just feeling stuck doing solo stuff or group stuff below a4 nm feels terrible. Regardless, i'll assume u had good intentions and not just saying things to try and make me feel like crap for wanting to play the game.

[strong moat]

that wasn't my intention no, my intention is that you're not impostering reclear lobbies by not knowing the raid

and you do a learning party by just opening a lobby and waiting, it takes time but you would've probably found people today

[rose jewel]

the thing is, act4 nm is a joke all in all

but if you go to hm it ups in difficulty quite a bit comparatively, since you dont have indicators for a lot of stuff

most of the time is just the nerves of fucking up and getting called on, but the raid is not that bad

the most important bit here was communication

you told them it was your first run, if you didnt you would actually been kicked asap after 2 wipes

[silk tiger]

Hello I have a question or two about the dps calculator from Arsonistic. I want to compare two different 2/2 Stones.
I didn't put anything into AS or MS because it told me not to, though it's telling me RC is really bad now. Also, I have a 2% dmg neck, so do I put 1.02 in the "out dmg" area?

[lucid axle]

if this is for dps valk u need 30 to put 30% at least in MS bonus

cause of tripod MS buff

and yes

1.02%

if u click on the all the tabs itll give you a reference point of what buffs you need to take account for

[vast oriole]

I wouldve brought ww, darks is useless af in nm

The dps check is not even 100m

If he kept pushing you down, it meant you werent watching the indicators on the ground that shows you where to not stand (or use push immune there)

[vast oriole]

I would just ask him next time ngl, i never used it personally

but the info tabs help a lot if ur forgetting something

but sometimes can be class specific cases so anything looks off u can always also ask the class channel if ur missing something

[silk tiger]

I will keep that in mind. Kinda don't want to annoy ppl with engraving questions etc. lol

[vast oriole]

you dont annoy anyone if you ask questions, especially in this channel

?advhoning

[buoyant dock]

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

[leaden compass]

do you guys use special honing on armors 23+? or is it more efficient to convert them later for 4.5 gear?

[dim pulsar]

well u can try to tap 24, with transfer u will get +5ilvl on that item

ofc u will have way higher base % to hone with serca gear, thats basicly up to u

if u dont rly NEEED to be omega juiced for nightmare just dont tap

[leaden compass]

ty!! my bard is 5.1k cp, it should be enough. i will keep them then, thanks

[honest bane]

why game

[dim pulsar]

cuz yes

[charred drum]

Hi, I'm trying to use the express challenge to level up from 1640 to 1700, but it's not letting me level up.

[dim pulsar]

soo click "ok"

[charred drum]

Yes, I clicked.

But it doesn't want to

to activate

[dim pulsar]

wdym doesnt want to activate?

[dim pulsar]

CLEAN ur inventory

[spring spruce]

I mean there's the problem

[charred drum]

Okay, so actually I emptied it, but not much, so I thought that was enough to begin with.

but I needed more space

THANKS

[honest bane]

how do people do chaos dungeons with only like 1 skill, those cd resets never fully get me my skills back

[dim pulsar]

gotta hit 6+ mobs, and its not always 100%, gotta wait or fill with other spells

[honest bane]

i cope

[hearty kraken]

depends on the class for valk you have 2 skills that have resets. I personally have more skills because I dont have enough cd reduction but if you have an extra set for ark passives and engravings it should be easy to only spam those 2 skills

on my gk for example I always just change 2 tripots and that one skill is ready the whole kurzan front

[honest bane]

yea valk, i gotta use like 3-4 skills. but i saw some gl spam one skill once, so i got curious

[dim pulsar]

they just have better cd reductions

[hearty kraken]

look at guardian knight if you wanna see how unbalanced it is for classes

[dim pulsar]

i can spam 1 skill as slayer too

[hearty kraken]

spni to win

[spring spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/spin-record-cat-gif-21749933

[azure isle]

yall have chaos builds

[dim pulsar]

"chaos build" just 1 tripod change

[honest bane]

ok as long as im not getting skill diffed by chaos dungeons, thats fine

[spring spruce]

nope, I just manually change tripod on GK and thats it

[azure isle]

its 2 whole skills for valk

[dim pulsar]

skill issue

[hearty kraken]

depends on the class. for GK i just change 2 tripods. I also have paradise builds

[charred drum]

Can you tell me at what item level I should start optimizing my character?

[hearty kraken]

with my lopang bard i use my paradise build for chaos

[dim pulsar]

1680

[azure isle]

i just use my hellfire raid build on chaos

[charred drum]

ty

[hearty kraken]

mostly when you want to do group content. starts at 1680

[hearty kraken]

but spin to win is so easy and fun

[dim pulsar]

u mostly dont care if u do solo raids, if u want party raids then yeah u gotta do some stuff to get into party

[azure isle]

[hearty kraken]

you could also start at 1670 with enlightment Karma

[dim pulsar]

not u "could" u HAVE TO

[hearty kraken]

no, he can start with 1680 for that as well. like actualyl start clicking it I mean

[dim pulsar]

u still want to get leap rank1 ASAP, thats ur "free" first dmg in it

[hearty kraken]

still doesnt matter if you dont go for group content

[minor igloo]

rat in their own kingdom is no rat at all

[tender flicker]

🐀

[charred drum]

I reached ilvl 1640, then I was given some equipment that instantly raised me to 1660. Do I need to buy that equipment now?

[paper tapir]

yes and do gear transfer

[charred drum]

ty

[paper tapir]

this gear give you more evolution points

[dim pulsar]

*WEAPON craft is LAST to do

[supple shoal]

for bracelets i should only roll 5 liners right?

[rugged comet]

I just got back after I quit due to that botting issue in the past.

I used the powerpass and now my char is Level 60.

I'm lost as to what to do. Do I upgrade my char further or what?

[dim pulsar]

yes and no, u want 5liners sure, 4liners are still fine (this is my 4liner)

[pure basin]

currently need this many abidos/gold for this much AH, since the calculator doesnt include the AH 30 scrolls how much cheaper is it now or if theres a better site for calculating it

[supple shoal]

someone told me if i merge 2 green astrogems with purple i can cut for gold? is that true? and how to do it

[azure isle]

fusing results in sparkly gems with 50% chance

that cuts with SILVER not gold

[supple shoal]

oh i see

let me try that

[dim pulsar]

thats not like big number but someting like 10-15% depen on ur luck

[pure basin]

gotcha ty

[supple shoal]

what are differences between these?

[dim pulsar]

willpower values

[pure basin]

the required willpowr

[dim pulsar]

less = easier to cut usable to activate Ark Grid core

[pure basin]

ideally u want stability(order) and corrosion(chaos)

[supple shoal]

oh and which one is the best to pick from selectors?

[supple shoal]

okayyy

noted

[gray verge]

What you need but for most classes your Order Cores will be a focus first

[pure basin]

u want to aim for >=17points imo if you can for order points

[supple shoal]

and cutting greens is worthless right

i should mainly cut purples

[pure basin]

in the beginning maybe if theyre stability/corrosion but this is also a good reference too

[supple shoal]

thx

class is order?

[gray verge]

Yes

[candid lake]

i personally fuse 10 cost blues with two 8 cost class greens and pray for acc bound ones

and cut them to save some gold :3

[smoky summit]

Hi! Does anyone know if it's normal to be completely stuck at ilv 1600 when manually leveling a character? I need to level from 1600 to 1620 to equip a set I was given, and leveling from +15 to +19 is ridiculously expensive in materials. most events I can do at my level don't give me the "Prime Oreha Fusion Material," and when I get 100/150 as a login reward, it's gone in 2-3 honings of pieces. I can buy Orehas with gold, but it's still insane, and I'm not rich 🥲 Will I be doing daily events for weeks and weeks until I get it, or am I missing something?

[dim pulsar]

well, it will take some time since they removed Paradise in 1580-1620 zone

[candid lake]

the solo shop gives some orehas

100 a week

[dim pulsar]

gotta either craft them urself, solo shop or buy in market OR buy with gold in Gold Shop

[candid lake]

but yeah.. u have to grind it out...

[warm field]

You also get some from the solo shop but only 100 a week

[livid fossil]

No free ride for 1580-1620

[warm field]

And grab books if you can

[livid fossil]

Hell got removed

[warm field]

It's a bit painful now

[livid fossil]

Start to use strong hold. Orehas

[candid lake]

@smoky summit is this your first char?

or an alt?

[supple shoal]

free solo shop>craft>buy from gold shop>buy from market

[smoky summit]

Well, I accidentally used the 1640 boost on a character I didn't want xD so I don't know if it's a first or alt character. I'm leveling this one up manually. I didn't use the Challenge Express, but I need 1640 for that, and the boost is the one I don't have🤣

[minor grail]

hell, what?!?! dont take my boy....

oh u mean below 1640

[dim pulsar]

well, 1600-1620 can take like 3/4 weeks now without paradise free fusions

make sure to do ALL raids u CAN do with that 1640 char

and try to buy some fusions with that gold

(gold shop)

[rose jewel]

40 a pop and there's 400 weekly

[azure isle]

why did i lose it, i thought i kept everything like a library and all is active passively

[rose jewel]

16k gold, not expensive at all

[azure isle]

i just lost so much cp

[rose jewel]

Coz you had it and picked a different effect on the pet

[azure isle]

i need to have the effects on different pets?

[rose jewel]

It's a perma bonus, if you have it, you don't have it now, so you lost it

Yes

Should knew since you probably didn't have it first try and had to reroll

[warm field]

Nope it's per pet

[rose jewel]

Live and learn moment

[warm field]

[azure isle]

i had legendary additional damage

i selected new one

i didnt know it replaced it

i lost 26cp

[warm field]

it would be too good if it was just library of passives. we can't have that....

[rose jewel]

We would just need 3 pets ever (max)

Devs don't want that

[warm field]

they gotta keep that KMMO -qol it's a staple

[candid lake]

wish granted

completely removes the system

[rose jewel]

But my cp

[azure isle]

so now knowing that

what do i want from this system

i only have 10 pets

[warm field]

"can't have QoL if we remove it..." 🧠

only 10

[candid lake]

u wouldnt need the qol

if it's removed

[warm field]

exactly

[sweet blaze]

Hello can someone explain me the difference between "normal" honing and "advanced" honing ? Came back after few years, so i'm kind of lost thx

[balmy plank]

Normal honing is normal honing, its the typical honing you did years ago.
Advanced honing was added as a way to make honing more affordable at hgiher levels where the cost difference between a pity and 1 tap is massive.

Adv honing you unlock using raid mats. 1-10 from NM Echidna, 11-20, HM Echidna, 21-30 NM Mordum, 31-40 HM Mordum. Hard mode mats can be used as normal mode mats 2:1. You can get extra in the Solo Exchange shop

?advhoning

[buoyant dock]

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

[balmy plank]

Above is the general recommended order of honing in Tier 4 based on cost

Oh also to add to it, Adv Honing does 1 ilvl at a time. Doing 1-10 would be the equivalent of 2 normal hones

[sweet blaze]

Thanks for the explanation. Correct me if I am wrong, let's say my gear is + 14, then i go "advanced" honing to + 10, then I go normal honing to + 16 then right after i go back to advanced honing until 20 ?

[balmy plank]

Thats right

[sweet blaze]

Okay thx !

[supple shoal]

is gold island gold bound?

[rich verge]

its bound like youre bound by contract to send it to me xo

[rose jewel]

Adventure island gold should be tradable

[dense crane]

when will the game start like rn i keep doing quests, when will daily routine like dungeons etc start i am currently lv 25

[rose jewel]

If you're doing story fully and reading it all, like .......

In 2 full days? Bit more

If you skip everything in like 10hrs or 12

[supple shoal]

or use free powerpass or kt?

[dense crane]

yeah i skip cutscenes

[rose jewel]

If you use the powerpass because you don't give a fuck about the story, instantly

[dense crane]

oh the power pass makes you avoid all these tutorial quests?

[supple shoal]

not all

[rose jewel]

90% of them

[supple shoal]

but msq until like south rimeria i think

[rose jewel]

Just

Use it wisely

[dense crane]

i jsut wanna reach the grind side like defeating mobs and gettign rewards etc

[rose jewel]

Be sure the class you made is the one you wanna play

[dense crane]

there are lots of classes

[rose jewel]

Coz you get one single pass every 4~ months

[dense crane]

oh i see

[rose jewel]

You can make more later but a pass skips hours/days/weeks of farming

Or

If you got the cash to throw, you can buy as many as you like

[dim pulsar]

this PowerPass is like skip of 4weeks

cursed T3 zone

[dense crane]

i am f2p player sooo

the game is nice and all but the questing is just too much

[rose jewel]

2 ways then

You either do your own research on the classes and see what you like

Or

You can tell us what kind of gameplay you like from other games, be it MMO or action, and we can pinpoint a class

[dense crane]

i am currently playing a mage class i forgot the name

[smoky summit]

t3 is totally cursed zone, skip it if u can

[dense crane]

i did the like test for chars and i chose it

[rose jewel]

Sorceress, arcana, summoner

[dense crane]

yeah sorceress

[rose jewel]

Bard

Sorc is the cookie cutter mage

Never bad

[dense crane]

it's the most picked mage class like 74% iirc

so i chose it lol

[rose jewel]

Ignore those numbers

Those are botted

[dense crane]

ye ik but it's just the basic starter mage class

lol okay

[rose jewel]

If you like mages then yeah sure

[dense crane]

ye i love mages

[rose jewel]

Can never go wrong with the most basic mage

[dense crane]

ok well i am still learning the game with the questing thing

[rose jewel]

You can then now proceed to use the pass and skip 90% of the story

[dense crane]

how much is this pass?

[rose jewel]

You would still need to do a bunch of tutorials

Free

Valued at 60

[dense crane]

how is it free

[rose jewel]

Because event

Literally everyone gets one

[dense crane]

where to get it ?

[rose jewel]

You already have it

[dense crane]

so it will skip most fo the tutorial quests

[rose jewel]

Go to your char select screen and pick the powerpass option

[dense crane]

ok will check that out

[rose jewel]

Not "tutorial" per se, but story

[vast oriole]

it will skip all story

[dense crane]

yes i mean the story thing

it feels like forever

[rose jewel]

You will save yourself like

A month

Literally

[dense crane]

omg

iirc i had the option but because i didn't understand what was it i think i didn't use it

[rose jewel]

Ofc the only "repercussions" would be that you will get into unknown land with a lot of shit on your screen, you will be overwhelmed for like a couple days

[dense crane]

it's fine i just wanna defeat mobs and like do something

the quests are very repeating

[rose jewel]

I mean

You defeat mobs on the way

[dense crane]

yes but it's not much

[rose jewel]

But late/end game is very very different

[dense crane]

like 8 mobs then keep going and talk with npc over and over again

yes i wanna reach that

[rose jewel]

You fight one big boi boss

[dense crane]

yeaaah

[rose jewel]

That will more than probably fuck you up a couple times before you beat it

[dense crane]

pretty sure it's not easy

[rose jewel]

It ain't

[dense crane]

ok so i have an event pass, i should use it on the class i wanna main

since it's only 1 per 4 month right?

[rose wren]

who knows, some people belive so

[rose jewel]

Ye use on main

If it's that sorc then on her

[dense crane]

hmmm idk i don't wanna regret later :((

[dim pulsar]

next pass should be in June

[dense crane]

hmmm okay anyways i think sorc is just fine for now since i am learning the game

[rose jewel]

You can accelerate another character's growth later if you wanna play something else

Will cost in-game gold

[dense crane]

oooh interesting but i can't buy pass with gold right

[rose jewel]

No

[dense crane]

pretty sure this is for real money

[rose jewel]

Mhm

[dense crane]

but how would i accelerate the growth with gold?

[rose jewel]

You can save on money if you use gold, pro tips, unless you never wanna spend a dime, your choice

[azure isle]

you can get a massive discount on demand for powerpasses though

[rose jewel]

You use gold to skip the story

600g > instant lv50
Then like 1k and item level 635 or something
Then 1.5k and item level 800~ etc etc up to 1585

[dense crane]

oooh interesting

[dim pulsar]

the 600G is the BIGGEST time skip, its like 20h of FULL speedrun for new players

[dense crane]

wow

[azure isle]

the transfer gives u gear automatically u dont need to worry about the ilvl numbers

until skurzan

[rose jewel]

Until 1585*

New players don't know continent names

[azure isle]

[dense crane]

this is amazing i wish i knew this like 3 days ago lol

[rose jewel]

Now you do

[dense crane]

but yeah the sooner the better, these skipping features are really good

[azure isle]

if you knowledge transfer to kurzan the powerpass to rimeria becomes like 1100 crystals?

or 3300

[rose jewel]

2200, it should count N Kurzan as well, not sure

So 20 buckos

[azure isle]

as opposed to 60 buckos

[dim pulsar]

1585->1640 skip is the Real value here

[rose jewel]

Yesn't

[rose wren]

r people instant lv70 when they claim way thingy?

[dim pulsar]

if u KT from 0, then no

if u powerpass then yeah

[bold geyser]

yyyyyyyes

[dense crane]

btw what to choose here?

[bold geyser]

its a lot of xp

[dim pulsar]

i would pick Reflux

[rose jewel]

Reflux is easier

Will help you get used to the game

[dim pulsar]

yes, but not enough for lvl50-lvl70

[dense crane]

ok ty

[bold geyser]

yeah thats true 😄

It will give you a set of accessories and a stone

[bold geyser]

i dont know that sorc will change much between 🙂

[rose jewel]

The stone is the important part here, the accessories are all the same

Most of the time the stone is different between specs so you want a usable one for the future

[dense crane]

[vast oriole]

yes

[rose jewel]

Big juice and a lot of good stuff, kind of obligatory

Your first challenge is there

Big titty sexy woman

[dim pulsar]

ur FIRST real WALL is here

[dense crane]

LMAO can't wait XDD

[rose jewel]

The challenge honestly is not staring at her juicy balloons too much and dying coz you didn't see her attacks

[dense crane]

lmaaao

[rose jewel]

You'll see when you get there

[bold geyser]

"damn i died guess we have to run it back"

[rose jewel]

But this is your 39th death in a row

[bold geyser]

"damn"

[livid fossil]

Guys this time I won’t die I “Promise”

[dim pulsar]

dies

[livid fossil]

lol dies to teammate

Charmed so much they had to put me down

[rose jewel]

Of your misery* (getting charmed on purpose by hot lady)

[dense crane]

ok so i started doing dungeons, idk what else to do

can't finish it 100% tho i have my old level potions which gives like 200 hp only XDD i die a lot

[rose jewel]

Did you read the whole commands I sent above

The Arkesia tour step is at least a 2hrs long journey

And will help immensely for every single activity in the future

Kind of obligatory

[dense crane]

i am here

[dim pulsar]

well

[dense crane]

oh okay will check it out

[dim pulsar]

u fucked

[rose wren]

rip, didnt change ui

[dim pulsar]

Thats the way

[dense crane]

yes its' ser to that already

i have high level dungeons i finished Volidis

[rose jewel]

Voldis? Like the quick mass killing mobs or the actual boss fight

[dense crane]

quick mass killing

[rose jewel]

Yeah that's like

A daily, very easy, very fast, gets mats to hone

But you did fuck up in the sense of those mats don't mean much to you

You did a tier 3 dungeon when you're tier 4 already

You had to go to Kurzan front for your tier mats

Not a big deal but better to know now

[dense crane]

there's just too much to know ;-;

[rose jewel]

You either try to finish what I sent (the bot command which I'll send again) or you go in naked* and try some other actual boss fights, be it cradle of light (kayangel), brelshaza, thaemine etc, or just finish your express fight first (echidna)

[rose jewel]

Go one step at a time, literally do this first for qol

Then you can fuck around the world, go to some isles or start working on something else, or just raids

[dense crane]

ok i will do them thanks

[rose jewel]

But the quickstart command is like the first thing to focus on for everyone

[plush elm]

Hihi nee to last arl here does the server I play on matter at all?

[rose jewel]

Not for the most part, but there are some with less players to see around if you care for human interaction

If you're EU Ratik is the most populated I believe

[plush elm]

Cool tysm

I do enjoy seeing people even if it’ll be a while before I play with anyone 😭

[vast oriole]

?region

[buoyant dock]

Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Ebony Cube, Chaos Gates, Auction house, Friends List, Character name, PVP arenas, Strongholds, Adventure Islands, Primal Island

Server Specific
Guilds, Islands, Open world, Life skills (professions)

Nothing is Cross Region

[vast oriole]

for your information

also they plan to merge servers in may so any servers would be fine when it will be done

[plush elm]

Cool thanks guys

Rly appreciate the help

[rose jewel]

Imagine if they merge the 2 lowest together and call it a day

A final surprise gift from ags to sg

[livid fossil]

lol

[rose wren]

at most it be like 2servers on both region if they havent adjust the limit, last heard 2k

[rose jewel]

3 for na, one west two east

Unless they don't give a fk and merge everything and screw over westies

[vast oriole]

that would be funny af

[plush elm]

Before a make a class uhhh is there anything I should stay away from I can I just hop in and have fun

[lavish mortar]

Every class is fine
Just depends what you wanna do, since there are only 4 supports

[rose wren]

directional attack u may dislike

[plush elm]

Ok that’s cool not looking for support not my thing lol

[faint cedar]

depends what u mean by stay away from

[plush elm]

Just like uhhh rly clunky or high skill ceiling ig

Idm low dmg tbh

[faint cedar]

do u want fast slow

[plush elm]

Fast preferably

[faint cedar]

wind fury aeromancer is beginner friendly, very fast, simple builder spender

reflux sorceress

sharpshooter is pretty straightforward

[plush elm]

Shadow hunter is looking pretty fun to me rn

[lavish mortar]

Then go SH

[faint cedar]

strong with the latest update

[lavish mortar]

Fun >>> anything else

[plush elm]

Ur right

[faint cedar]

stay away from arcana if u dont want carpel tunnel, stay away from death blade

[rose wren]

most dmg comes from demon mode with that class

[lavish mortar]

Go slayer
We have massive booba

I mean swords

[plush elm]

Arnt u a db main 😭

[plush elm]

Idk that

I love form switching

[plush elm]

😼

[faint cedar]

yes its extremely high ceiling

and low floor

if u dont invest or have hands u dont do dmg

[lavish mortar]

It form switches a good amount at endgame i think, but most of your damage is from one form

Look at guardian knight too

[plush elm]

Looking a machinist rn

But I assume he’s also pretty hard?

[dim pulsar]

nah

[plush elm]

Or is it mostly just management of his drone

[dim pulsar]

he is fine to do dmg

u play drone master or MECHA suit one

drone is a bit harder

[faint cedar]

the mecha suit is p strong ive heard

since the changes

[plush elm]

Or is it like you can build to play either?

[dim pulsar]

dunno, they are way too rare to see them

[faint cedar]

wasnt it some smg build before

[dim pulsar]

u can easly swap if u want

[plush elm]

Interesting

[plush elm]

She’s cool I just don’t fw her are that much idk

[faint cedar]

she definitely raised the bar for transform classes

[lavish mortar]

just wanted to make sure you checked it out since idk how updated whatever youre watching is

[plush elm]

I’m in da practise thing rn

Lowk gonna be playing around for an hour tryna pick sum 😭

[lavish mortar]

Just play dragon gorl ez

[faint cedar]

the event pushes u really deep into endgame very quickly so its wise to make the choice count and pick something fun

assuming ur using the event challenge on it

[plush elm]

Yeh I’d like this class I choose now to be my main

[lavish mortar]

We get several events that help you get to end game each year, so if you aren't fully satisfied can always come back in a few monthd

[plush elm]

Tempting

[plush elm]

That’s good to know

[lavish mortar]

Cuz um..
Its hard to pick just 1...

[plush elm]

I downloaded the game on release and dropped after three days 😭

[lavish mortar]

I dropped after like 3h on release lol

Just didnt want to grind story

[dim pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/soft-kobe-bryant-no-smh-shaking-my-head-gif-18860898

[plush elm]

So I have a striker w the mount we got from that but like I want something I’m gonna enjoy playing

[plush elm]

Valid

[rose wren]

missed all those golds

[faint cedar]

im just trying to make sure i dont miss this current events boxes for not pushing

one char left to 1710 then i can focus on 1720s

[candid lake]

mounts are server wide tho o-o

[plush elm]

Oh? 🙏 I’m used to them being character locked

[dim pulsar]

huh, they NEVER were char locked

[plush elm]

No i meant from other games

[rose wren]

it shows u iirc

[faint cedar]

technically if u have 1 char theyre char locked

[minor grail]

how to wire gold to other friends?

[faint cedar]

mail

[rose wren]

same server? y not trade?

[minor grail]

yea same server

[vast oriole]

if same server, do normal or express mail

not send gold

[rose jewel]

my friend Sagnum also needs gold, can you give him 10M arna, ty

probably Sugnum as well

[vast oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/399269-cat-middle-finger-cat-cat-meme-cat-funny-gif-7145826872122606660

[rose jewel]

wow toxic

[loud parcel]

my steam account had been hacked and lost ark account had been stolen and support told me that they will not roll back any thing for me ! is there any thing could i do ?? pls help guys

[rose jewel]

no one can help unfortunately

im not gonna sugarcoat anything nor give you false hope

they cant do shit about it since it was your whole steam account being compromised

[sweet blaze]

Hello, is it normal that when doing paradise, my preset is never correct ? Im playing Breaker asura but everytime i get in, it's the other one

[vast oriole]

start a new account

[rose wren]

no mmorpg ever does rollback, its players fault that u lost it all

[vast oriole]

ark passive doesnt work in paradise

so people do builds accordingly to that

[dim pulsar]

ur class is DEFAULT in paradise

thats why we couldnt play ANY spec based stuff before (now we can)

[rose jewel]

paradise doesnt take into consideration anything but skills and tripods, gems? no, engraves? non, ark tree? nein

[sweet blaze]

oh i see, that's no bueno :c

[dim pulsar]

soo u have Raid setup, chaos (as some need) and 3rd paradise one

[rose wren]

best u can do is recover ur steam account, whatever games uve bought still playable

[paper walrus]

keep a google doc and save your builds as skill codes so you dont have to buy a new skill page

[dim pulsar]

thats valid strat

[rose jewel]

just be rich and buy skill pages

you dirty peasants

like arna, giga whale

https://tenor.com/view/darkelfcarla-kono-healer-mendokusai-alvin-i-kneel-kneel-gif-25891170

[sweet blaze]

The preset thing seems buggy or maybe i'm too stupid to understand

[rose jewel]

to give a present to someone? uhhh

[dim pulsar]

its soo easy tho

[rose jewel]

it was like, you had to be on your stronghold or something, and not everything can be sent as present? someone else may be able to help more coz i never sent one, but i remember it was weird

[dense crane]

why matching takes forever

[dim pulsar]

cuz u try to do DEADGE stuff

what u try to mm tho?

[dense crane]

honestly i tried different raids but still same thing

[dim pulsar]

well no we DONT MM raids

[dense crane]

what is the most done raid / dungeons then

[dim pulsar]

ummm

its not that

u do raids u CAN do

thats solo raids

always DO TOP3 ones u can (ilvl wise)

[dense crane]

oh okay thanks

[dim pulsar]

that would be ur top3 for 1640 (ALL SOLO) or dont do Trampled Garden and try to do Behemoth (party raid) but its end of week and its WAY WAY WAY past raid time for old raids

btw our TOP done raids are ALWAYS Top3 raids that we can do for gold

currently its Mordum Hard, Act 4 HARDand Final Act HARD (aka Kazeros)

[dense crane]

okay thanks a lot

[dim pulsar]

btw this is ur FIRST stuff to do before raids

[vast oriole]

i have infinite skill presets on my fucking bard

[rose jewel]

yeah i believe it, fuck bard

[dense crane]

where is that

[rose jewel]

that's a different ui layout

yours should be bottom right for the old abyss dungeons and legion raids

[lavish mortar]

That's challenge express

[rose jewel]

there should* also be a ui for only the solo raids

[lavish mortar]

Silly signum

[rose jewel]

thought he replied to the first pic

im multitasking and im a man, i cant multitask for shit

[dense crane]

solo raids are so hard..

[dim pulsar]

[vast oriole]

they can be hard as a new player yes

what is your issue

are you dying from damage

from mechs

not enough damage ?

[dim pulsar]

for any new player sure, for us its PISS easy

[dense crane]

like i did a party raid once today it was fun and easy but solos is just so stressing

[vast oriole]

did you watch any guides?

[dense crane]

i am too lazy to watch guides tbh

[dim pulsar]

[vast oriole]

solos are way easier, its just that in group raids, you can get carried

in solo you cant

[dense crane]

yeah exactly

[rose jewel]

i DID warn you about the difficulty i believe

[dim pulsar]

sooo u want to do raids and do kill bunch of mobs but at same time u dont want to WATCH guides to make it easier?

[rose jewel]

now, if you dont like putting in the effort and just get carried, well we cant do much about it

[vast oriole]

well, not everyone wants to carry people

[rose jewel]

the fun is in overcoming the difficulty* (which is not that much, its just you not knowing the basics and mechs)

[vast oriole]

so if youre too lazy to watch any guides, i dont think this game is for you
unless you enjoy the story

[rose jewel]

he used the pass

he was shift G'ing

[vast oriole]

yeah so idk

i mean unless he likes to learn raids blind?

[dense crane]

i think i have to watch guides then

[rose jewel]

take a breath and try again

learn the mechs

[vast oriole]

but people dont really do that much

[dim pulsar]

thats ... just, i would suggest poe/poe2 or diablo games than here if u DONT watch guides

[dense crane]

i like learning by playing but it's just so hard in this game i guess

[rose jewel]

either go in blind and have fun figuring stuff out or just watch a guide

[vast oriole]

i think you can do both

[rose jewel]

whichever you want

[vast oriole]

i dont know what kind of learner you are

[dense crane]

poe have guides too wdym lol

[dim pulsar]

ALL games have guides

[rose jewel]

i mean people always figured out stuff on their own, kr didnt have guides when the stuff came up new

[dense crane]

you mean that lost ark is actually harder than poe?

[vast oriole]

but if youre like me, guide videos will help you a bit to know the mech but not doing it wont teach you the mech

you know what i mean ?

[rose jewel]

guides are from people figuring stuff out blindly

[vast oriole]

diff type of game

[dim pulsar]

yep, esp if u want to play PROPER endgame ur not solo anymore, u rely on other 3/7 bozos in party to clear whole raid

[hollow scroll]

lost ark is actually hard for new players. same as any game really, we dont realise it because we are 4 years down the line

there is a reason they nerfed solo

[rose jewel]

i do realise it and i always tell people game's not easy

[dense crane]

ah i see well i will learn with time it's normal as it's a new game for me

[rose jewel]

always

[hollow scroll]

you'll enjoy it after you get the hang of it

best part of the game is progging raids honestly

[dense crane]

i hope, the game is really nice but too much stuff to know etc it's overwhelming

[vast oriole]

its very overwhelming at the start

[dense crane]

like basically when you don't know what to do in a new game

[vast oriole]

thats why we are here

[dense crane]

yeaaah exactly

[rose jewel]

i also warned you about it

[dim pulsar]

its too much cuz u Powerpassed, u basicly SKIPPED 4y of progress

[vast oriole]

to try to help new/returning players

[rose jewel]

told you you will suffer for a couple days, after that its smooth sailing

[vast oriole]

because the game doesnt teach you a lot

[vast oriole]

yes and no, story doesnt teach you shit

except moving on the map

[dense crane]

yeah but i still wanted to use power pass because the questing got boring

[hollow scroll]

the new training room thing they have teaches the bare bones basics

[vast oriole]

^

[rose jewel]

the game at its core is very very simple, its just that the game isnt the best at telling you all the stuff that has been going on for several years by now

[vast oriole]

did you touch the arkesia tour at all ?

[dense crane]

yeah it's nice i think i might try it because i also suffer from controling a bit and i miss skills etc

[dim pulsar]

we dont rly care about story (i was more of about doing first dungeons, proper builds, how early bosses worked and later stuff)

[dense crane]

i don't think i did that

[hollow scroll]

but it wont teach you the names of mechs that we use because we like referencing 4 year old raids in new releases

[rose jewel]

yeah all that is because you're new, you'll refine your gameplay as you keep going

[vast oriole]

i would highly suggest to start with that

[rose jewel]

waaaaaait

[dim pulsar]

didnt we TOLD u to FOLLOW QUICKSTART Command?

bruh

https://tenor.com/view/angry-cat-gif-1179534950139604809

[rose jewel]

i feel betrayed

[dense crane]

i did but idk i am still figuring out the whole thing

anyways, ty guys a lot

[rose jewel]

take it easy, yet again, you will suffer for a week at max

just ask anything

[dense crane]

honestly i feel like i am rushed to learn all the stuff i learned something today tomorrow will know more etc

[dim pulsar]

u cant just "check" it, u have to do ALL 4LVLS of it to get ur char to PROPER "early" stages of whole game

[dense crane]

alright ty guys

[vast oriole]

ask any questions here, we wont bite

[rose jewel]

arna does tho

[vast oriole]

(i will, but im a cat)

[rose jewel]

she's a cat

cats bite, dont trust her

[lavish mortar]

Except me

[vast oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-borisich-gif-1457411804530601879

Signum might start biting if u wont follow stuff

[lavish mortar]

[rose wren]

dont have any clue how long they can sepnd playing, so it can easily be logner

[dim pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-441666516964176409

[plush elm]

Is there a difference between power pass event and power pass at adventure start ?

Mb if I have aids

[faint cedar]

Ones paid ones free

[plush elm]

Blue is paid ? Or yellow

[rose wren]

dude

[faint cedar]

Idk I’m color blind

[plush elm]

😭 lmao

[rose wren]

its so clear which is which

yellow = event, blue = paid

[plush elm]

True but like I thought they weren’t gonna prompt past this

Mb

[rose jewel]

uhhh, no?

[faint cedar]

Well unless you’ve paid for a pass it won’t let you use one of the options

[plush elm]

[zinc lagoon]

What are the best supports for new players?

[shy chasm]

Paladin valkyrie

[zinc lagoon]

Bard hardest? And artist?

[shy chasm]

Bard is hard to be good at

Artist I suppose is kinda in the middle

But @vast oriole can probably give a better explanation

[paper walrus]

paladin is the easiest, valk is somewhat similar, artist has a lot of utility available and also is decently easy, bard has the highest ceiling but also the lowest floor

[vast oriole]

i think at this point

artist is easier than paladin

no cap

she has shields on lot of skills

she has infinite push immunes

her brand is fucking op

like the ''ONLY'' downside of artist

is that shes a loli

no jk

its her ground buff

[zinc lagoon]

[vast oriole]

to be really good at pala and artist is around same difficulty

floor for both is kinda high aswell

pala/valk ofc

like its kinda hard to fuck up on artist (except the ground buff obv)

[rose jewel]

its not me fucking up the buff, its the other 3 going somewhere else

[vast oriole]

ok maybe im capping that artist is easier than pala, but i think they are similar difficulty

right now at least

[digital lintel]

hi im just downloaded lost ark pls help dms openm

[tender flicker]

Just ask questions here

[digital lintel]

i want to make a healer build

and enginerr healing build

[vast oriole]

that doesnt exist

[digital lintel]

bruhhh

[vast oriole]

this game has supports, not healers

and theres only 4 classes can be support

[rose wren]

thats a pain discord label u as spammer

[vast oriole]

yeah

[digital lintel]

huh?

[digital lintel]

wat r they

[rose wren]

bard arist valk pal

[vast oriole]

bard artist valkyrie and paladin

all of them can be supports

[digital lintel]

dang

[digital lintel]

omggggg i joined lost ark i meant to join guild wars

im sorry for time wasting guys

[vast oriole]

oh

i see ok

[livid fossil]

[split kayak]

[lavish mortar]

Well in that case what flavor of engineer

[spring spruce]

strawberry flavor

[shadow pasture]

Reminds me of the guy that joined this discord thinking it was ark survival

[faint roost]

Apart from fate embers chaos dungeon, and event. Are there any other sources of radiant leapstones. Like in the past there were islands that gave fk load of t2 t1 mats

[rose jewel]

tier 3?

mostly from chaos dungeon, raids, event shops, solo shop

after that you can get them from the market, last place would be cash shop

the event alone should give you a decent amount

ugh nvm its only 10 per chest

100 weekly

even worse its 60, i was looking at the mokoko one

60+40 total a week

[split kayak]

Sg trying to make ppl move the chars from t3 to t4 but by killing the t3 chars

[rose jewel]

it wouldnt be as bad if they let us buy the whole shop in a go instead of weekly gatekeeping it

so people can buy a specific math they lack and burst hone

but no

[lucid axle]

which pet abilities give CP?

i notice some give and some dont

[rose wren]

pet ranch u just want vs dmgs

[minor briar]

dont think they do?

[azure isle]

Thry do

I lost 30 cp just because i swapped some off

additional damage and str/dex/int gives cp, idk about demon/archdemon or other things

[minor briar]

abilities as in pet codex or active skills?

[azure isle]

I assumed codex cuz actives dont do anything meaningful imo

[obsidian tapir]

i asked before about the secret map thing to get my wealth rune

the char should have the secret map or any alt having it allows me to use it on any of my roaster

[azure isle]

The maps are roster bound u can transfer them to any char
