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).

aegir?
kazeros act 1
does 1660 not unlock new thing in the express
thats kinda your highest priority
dont hone past the xxx0 because u wont get the gold from the express which sucks
i doubt thats how it works
alrighty
last time it only counted the joining level
not the over honed level even if you already had it
or so i think
i would not risk it
it only counts joining level.
i mean a lot of people tend to hone to make the fight easier
over honing is w/e once you have already started the express
it would be extremely bad design
source: i overhoned a shit ton after starting it on my gk
there we go
so u dont need to clear each bracket at ilevel to qualify for the gold ?
kinda thought that was the whole point ngl
ye like this shit is a complete bait then
always been like that
that's skill issue from your part, welcome to the gang
ye but the event technically starts at 1640
Then 1660 aegir challenge after echidna the "event" (by this logic) technically starts at 1660 or 1640 depending on your interpretation so you automatically enroll into this gold reward regardless
so there is literally no penalty at and therefore no point in having this for every "challenge" bcus i can just hone to the moon and send aegir and its fine
i would have thought a reasonable interpretation is "i need to start the challenge i.e. event at said 1660 ilevel or i dont get the goldies" but maybe im just fried
like its literally only this that matters
the rest is bait
still like that
now do it without taking a hit
im a bonker
im suppoed to take more dmg than a whole team together
actually have done it before...quite a few times
ye
also dont forget this is help channel
but in general when its allowed
what do i do now?
like continue the challenge express and lvl up my ilvl?
yes
aight o7
are there other ways to get destiny shrds except buying them or getting them from chaos?

Is there a documentation on how much stagger this provides (ideally a comparison to ww-grenade) ?
It’s more than a WW
You use it so you can bring darks and a stagger battle item
Otherwise they take up the same slot
i saw on the holy bible
it did 295
stagger
useless on support for the most part
it's nice to have if you really need darks to push dmg
but yeah most raids you don't need that :V
i took stim over corro
just dont get corro pattern
but also i actually had 4 bubble into rumble on clear run
game was drunk
does anyone know if u can pause inherited will in the middle? im eebi
yes you have a return point
when you enter some zones
i think theres 3 ?
Noticing some inconsistencies with 240mech Serca.
So high level, after clearing it like 9 times on all my chars, what I noticed vs what I thought should be the case differs.
What I thought:
JG1, JG2, space 2 safe spot (IF JG2 = Lunge then JG3, JG4 at safespot.
Stagger after JG1 but not 2 much since u need to watch out for JG2 into safespot coming up, if JG2 was not lunge, stagger more, if lunge, 2 more JGs.
After that, mech repeats itself, only variable is lunge vs single JG.
However, in reality
JG, 2nd JG, safespot, JG, JG, back to middle for round 2, JG then sometimes the 2nd lunge or overhead swing doesn't happen for ages and u can just keep staggering till hes staggered and othertimes the 2nd JG happens very quick and ur in middle of animation.
How do u determine when hes gonna do quick vs slow 2nd JG during round 2???
Sometimes I'm just there waiting for 2nd JG which doesn't come for the longest time and other times I correct from the above by spamming stagger only to get hit by 2nd JG coz he chose to very quickly start the 2nd JG and I'm stuck in animation.
I been circumventing the issue by using my biggest stagger skill fast after 2nd round of JG1 coz theres always a small gap between that and JG2 then slowly using other skills leaving a pause incase of the fast variant of the 2nd JG but this is inefficient when I need to carry ppl who got knocked up or if I'm on a low stagger class.
you get put back in shadow realm after safespot anyway, you shouldnt be in animation
you dont do any stagger in shadow realm
thanks for the copypasta
But when round 2 starts, sometimes the 2nd JG comes at the expected time and sometimes nothing happens for ages and u could basically just spam stagger skills at him, how do u determine which scenario is gonna happen ahead of time?
you cant
you just need to react to it since he started the animation while you were in shadow realm
damn, thats so annoying
just dont cast anyhting after getting out of shadowrealm
if hes not stabbing then throw skills
if hes stabbing gg
im gonna start taking mental note of the max amount of time hes able to idle for before lunge/overhead or JG2, if that amount of time passed and nothing happened, i spam stagger skills, space to safespot and spam more
I saw corro pattern like 3 times in all my nmr prog
Corro is not worth imo
i see it in every run
if people desync
it's a huge issue
by desync, i mean like if they mis sthe 1st jg you do
but they do the next jg inside the shadow realm while you guys are jging outside with stagger bar
and sometimes, the clones can start animations and shoot you outwards while transitioning
There was a chart and I can't find it now, but whats the honing transfer conversion between pre-serca gear and serca gear. I know +20 becomes +11 but I don't remember all the details
This chart looks good
should i be saving the thorns from Serca to upgrade my weapon or just do gloves like I see everyone else doni
wpn coz more dps and serca is a dps check raid
alt or main?
25 wep or not?
only do weap if you can hone it if its not already 25
does anyone have the link for the dps requirements on serca?
thanks!
is making alt account and funneling gold bannable?
Its a grey area. You can do it, you probably wont get banned but its not exactly allowed. If you start funneling high amounts of gold consistently there is always the chance to be flagged as a bot
Its also just a huge amount of effort to build and play a 2nd roster
Nah people get ban once foundout
Its not explicitly against TOS, but some people get banned for "botlike behavior". But whether they were really botting or making multiple accounts to buy busses, allegedly running 25+ aeromancer chaos dungeons daily "manually", and sending all their gold over...Who knows.
I know plenty of people have alt rosters and they do fine so
.
I imagine if its purely a gold farm with little else going on, it could get flagged.
for serca g2, does the stagger bar go down more, the more ppl that just guard?
Allegedly, yes
Have I seen proof/ a comparison showing it? No
okay thank you!

Depends on other options
I would take gold > free taps only so you can finish adv honing & be able to gear transfer at 1730
Fusions>honing supp>gold>free tap>other stuff ig?
otherwise free taps are always best
Prob bracer
yeah kinda leaning to braclet or astrogems
braclet probably better but im kinda impatient with astrogems 
oh true random is ass
i need help from 3player to make the abyssal dungeon demon blast canyon
You should just skip over those dungeons. They arnt needed
fuck it i just gamba with braclet i think ill have higher odds i get something decent from it
how can i get more strong now in the beginning of the endgame?

no i mean this one
i think this is the first time we're getting bonus damage to ancients in cards?
If it has a new card like the one I pointed out. That collection is indeed new
I noticed that when doing my Ark Passive on Gunslinger. In the Enlightenment tree, if I do Peacemaker all the way my combat power is 2442 and if I do Time to Hunt all the way my combat power shoots up to 2785. Is this a bug..?
Are they 100% identical otherwise? Do you have your points fully invested in Evo and leap when trying both builds?
I just change the Enlightenment tree alone and my combat power drops in Peacemaker by almost 300
Originally I had fully changed every ark passive tree/ my gems/ ark grid etc. but then i realized peacemaker was always 300 less than TTH
so i narrowed it down to the enlightment tree
Idk anything about the class. Maybe it's because you overcap on something Crit rate/damage and it's stops being effective? Identity gem or something?
what does frontier system mean?
Frontier System was a thing for the Kazeros Raids. At release of the raid, every 2 weeks hard mode would get nerfed a little to make it easier. There were exclusive titles if you cleared weeks 1 & 2, 3 & 4 or 5 & 6
ahhh serca will be nerfed?
No frontier for Serca
No and yes (not Frontier but with serca gear it will be easier)
how to know if there frontier or not?
It was for kazeros raids only. There is no more frontier
It is now an obsolete system
on the raid ui
any lifeskillers know if rare mat drop % effects the kick rewards for logging?
where?!
alt q
Even easier than now would be boring
true
Just know when to deal dps and know a bit of mechs and she dead, i ran into dps problems with one group in hm, but this was cause the scrapper in my party did 200m dps and we sadly failed to get the last 3 bars in berserk mode 🥲
Not as I understand it
What’s the point of knowledge transfer beyond south rimera??
If we can’t get T4 gear
To skip the story in 10 second as opposed to doing it manually for ~ 2 hours per continent
Right but that’s so pointless since we would have t3 gear
You get given t4 relic to gear transfer Into
you can't story skip south rimeria w/o having already done/kt'd the north vern story and unlocked t4 and gotten free t4 gear
must be done sequentially
am a returning player who used to be a female gunslinger main back in the day, came back for a tiny bit and got a wildsoul but gave up due to being so lost on what to do and such after being gone for so long. Trying to give it a new go this time but im unsure which of these 2 classes I should play and if so why and whatever. So would highly appreciate some imput or info
could also swap to a different class if both are irrelevant atm
If you feel like specyfic class is your comfort zone and playing with it just hits different, then long term, skill and grind wise, you're better off playing that one.
You have 6 character slots anyway
I am unsure if the difficulty for gunslinger is worth it? So thats why im debating and hesitant to commit to it
way too much for me but no saying that you couldn't be good at it and enjoy it 
not really gonna find any class is irrelevant you can't choose incorrectly, and if both of them aren't too far behind you may want to use a powerpass on an entirely different class that interests you
then the current pass wont work on them anyhow 😄
oh whys that?
since they're both close it wouldn't hurt to play both a bit and see which one grows on you
rimeria pp takes you to 1640
they are at T4 gear, maybe the number is wrong
perfectly believable number
oh alr
im saying the current pass would allow you to have a third choice (which doens't really help your decision i imagine)
it doesnt no lol
nothing saying you can't play all 3 of them, though i'd play a little bit to see which one you'd use the event on
I really want to get back into it, but dont have a group to adapt my choice to and what not
exactly why im hesitant, I want to use the event
at 1650 you still have 3 solo raids before you get dumped into multiplayer
you can do things like behemoth but most of your progress will be solo for a minute
once you get one to 1660 it unlocks act 1 which is a step up in rewards and not terribly difficult
thats what I wondered about though, do those solo raids get scaled down for suppport? Or do they need to meet the same dps checks lol
supports get their own solo mode buff
ahh perfect
you use a dps build for supps, which are pretty similar performance-wise to other classes
and yea you use a dps build
fair enough
and each class gets its own choice of buffs to select from, supps have "true supporter" which is probably the strongest one
it used to basically make it so supp brands was giga-juiced
but for now I guess ill stick to hurting my head over choosing what to play
now its just a big damage buff 😄
supp is good but you still need 3 dps for every 1 support in a group
yeah figured
play around a bit, see what class piques your interest to use the powerpass one, then think about which of the 3 you most want to express up
we'll get another one in.....6 weeks or so
my issue is that when im playing anything that isnt gunslinger it feels slow and like im waiting on cds, as I have almost only played gunslinger so had very high apm gameplay yk?
nothing wrong with expressing gunslinger, especially if you're comfortable with the gameplay
there are other classes with high uptime, if you were interested in that
I am comfortable with high apm, I like it, but I often feel like positioning and such is hard so I often get punished before I get my damage off
and then I see a much simpler build out dps me lol
just play arcanist 
aha whys that?
high apm high ceiling
like I said im open to suggestions xd
hit master too
i really like arcanist
but i suggest asking what to play on reset for kr
since theyre getting a balance patch
its verrrry fast im still not good at it
when are they getting that patch?
they haven't even said what they're doing right?
like tuesday/wednesday
just expected
so probably best to wait a few days then and make a choice depending on their patch?
yeah you can do that
might go fetch seeds during my days then xd
if you wanna play now i would suggest arcanist if youre leaning towards higher apm
obviously watch videos before picking
dunno how accurate this is, guy claimed to have pulled it from logs
lmao so my 2 classes I was debating on are somewhat exactly on the same spot
take it with a grain of salt im sure theres a better measurement somewhere i'm just too tired to recall
nono ofc, I dont care too much about best class and top tierlist and what not
just dont want to go play a class that got nuked and makes things take twice the effort for no reason
aka ferality sadly
That’s why mine is phantom
play for fun not big number
simply put debating between fun zoomy gameplay with funny animations, or the higher difficulty gunslinger lol
reaper is pretty up there as far as zoom-to-difficulty ratio
I might go full circle ⭕️ with next pp and play arcanist lol my shoulder already hurts
as is db and arc tbh

all your top 6 apm classes 😄
Reaper for me Is trying to find out what skills I do dmg on lol
haven't tried reaper but it's on my radar
probably pping either that or gk haven't decided
reaper seems to be more controllable than re
I can deal with re since i main since started the game
emp most fun class
my arcana sadly just 1670 and does z
Skill issue, arcana always do 150% of others at that ilvl 
this the best use of the mats at 1710?
i would just hold on to it
so you can exchange it for the agony thorns at 1730
I see many people talk about the arcana and say how good she is, yet going from peoples roles I dont see her pop up often, why is this the case? 
My brain too shiny 
It's not so bad, with enough reps I could do okay, but I'm not great at most raids in general so it's just a lot of plates
ah fair enough
as a returning player its probs smart to go do silly island quests and what not at fist anyway, so I can get back to the game
Arcana can be a bit rough for new/returning players. They're high apm and can take a some extra work to get comfy with the rng cards.
im a fan of high apm, but im not so sure about the rng card system
Back read a bit. For what its worth, I think people in general would consider arcana more difficult than gunslinger. TTH is also definitely much stronger than before and can be a bit easier with just 2 weapons to cycle between. Arcana is kinda a low floor high ceiling class, but has a real high ceiling and has been for a little while so it always shines in real end game content. The arkesia tour in game helps you skip through a lot of horizontal content including a good chunk of sailing/island content.
The in game play test isn't ideal tbh, if you're interested in a class you can try to powerpass and do some bosses on another region since powerpasses are by region/account.
I dont mind the collection stuff
but from what I can tell by what people told me, when arcana is mentioned they all seem to say that the skill ceiling is rewarded by high dmg, havent seen anyone really say the same with gunslinger
so you see why im debating wether I should play it?
Gs is also high ceiling class, but a bit easier than arcana
Sure, I can see that. But tbh majority of players aren't going to be playing anywhere near ceiling. And if we told all the new players to play arcana, most of them would probably have a bad time. So typically I'd say play what you enjoy. If arcana otherwise aligns with what you want, then sure go for it. But since balance patches can shift the meta significantly and this isn't the easiest game to main swap in (even though arcanas keep matrix dodging nerfs somehow).
They dont show their numbers in inven so less players see how op they are
any serca x240 practice simulators? XD
I'm a solo player. I have a question. Would a guild or a sherpa be the best way to learn the end game raids? Every party I join, I get kicked due to lack of experience, and I'm halted with progression, I need some more Ark Grid cores.
it doesn't matter if you join a guild or not, it matters that you get a learning lobby. Either a prog with other new players or teachers, we don't really use sherpa here, that is a d2 term mostly. Here are some discords you can look at for finding people

hello, i'm a returning player (last time I played was when brelshaza legion raid got out so like 3 years ago lol) : I have a question about the new advanced honing thing : i'm currently ilvl 1660, have only been normal honing: should I start advanced honing going forward? or should I do a bit of both? how does it work?
?AdvHoning
Optimal Advanced Honing Order
Standard: +12 -> 1-10 -> +14 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.

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
you do 1 at a time, above you can see when to do which ones
so +14 means i go +14 normally honing, then I adv hone to lvl10, then i normal hone to +16 etc. right?
yeh
alr thanks
theres only 2 variations, a slash which is a single guard, or a triple poke which is 3 guards in a row
just spam g for the whole mech
no need to learn timings or anims except seeing that it’s gonna be triple poke
and not greeding stagger during it
wut? can really just spamm G and get all of them?
😮
ehh
Hello, is it worth to convert to serca's gear or I hone first to get rid of the materials?
has anyone ran the new Graid as solo? if it still feels ok w/o a supp/synergies
it feels ok
you get synergies now if there's no support so its comfier than it used to be
guardian raids in solo now have 1/4 health (compared to 4 player group)
so the damage requirement is pretty chill
ty
3-5m runs for me solo
hi , sorry if its been asked, Inherited Will Quest Rewards , you get the selector chest ech time on diferent character ?
the relic book? no, just 1 per roster
ahh so its ok to just skip it with knowlage transfer then
cba playing it on my supports
thx
I personally wouldnt pay 13k for 40mins msq but you do you
and what about the weapon? is it also cheaper after I convert it too?
it just opens the map in south kyrzan
where i am
There are 3 purple ones I am sure one of those is it
wtf where did i say hyper?
No one said what quest it was just to
Do it that quest
sorry that was there before i progressed the quest i think
😅

can i do sometihg with those?
exchange npc
5-1 ratio at Npc
exchange 5:1 for tier 4 mats
aaah yes i saw, i couldnt see it before because it was set on view my tier
damn kenzy u flying through the content
More than most

logging enjoyers tell me which one to use
is this a rare drop card?
All legendary cards are around 4%~
it is yes. congrates
Now get 15 more of the same for full awakening
14...
don't worry about it much just have fun in the new game you trying
once it stops being fun just uninstall don't listen to masochists here
14 my ass, it's 15 for full awaken, 16 total of none in existence
was this important?
No
oh oki
Unless you have around 50 grand sitting in your pocket
oh its THAT
its useless for u, unless its tradable 
ye ur right
"bound to character/untradable"
isnt it more than 50k, so many updates
oki
hmm i didnt get anything?
by dismantle it u men drag and drop riht?
ooooh this makes stuff a lot easier
Remember he's new, explain like he's 5
do we use guardian raids card - triachy/ a voice call?
Guardian raids are a joke and a half, any set you use is good, people try to match the element but using los is still fine
thanks
very rarely you would drag and drop to destroy things, only if there is nothing of value to be gained by dismantling or selling it
Red arrows and circle
oh, thats lowkey good on my side then LOL
but tbf, the window seems long enough that pressing early should still hit it
ive def pressed it early on the triple stab
its more like you can press it as soon as you see the flash
In g1 x240 you can spam g in normal, won't let you guard early on the fake
does it make any difference besides time whether i log alone or duo log?
duo is faster
but doesn't necessarily give more stuff
In general people like logging to burn energy quick so they tend to duo. If you intend to solo life skill for the most part, feel free to try other options since they can earn more than logging.
Tldr no
Do you by chance know the "best" life skill if I want to solo farm?
For the most part
Yeah. Hunting and foraging tends to be on the high end.
got it, thanks to both of you! 👍
yall
what to do with my other chars?
like just run the story to get the new continent type shi?
Up to you and how much you wanna play/pay. You can wait for next powerpass/event, you can run story or knowledge transfer to get up to 1585 and slowly work up to 1620 or do paid power pass I guess (should cost less the more story you have done).
i mean my other chars are 1600+
Oh
uh
Buy their solo shop weekly fusions, do chaos if you lack other honing materials, buy honing books either from the solo shop or market if cheap
Get the T3 honing buff from stronghold research
als ill have too much free time if i only use my main
if it were me id just keep them where they are, farm whatever raids they can
wait for event powerpass
since theyre that low you kinda have the luxury of playing them if you want
or just not
just probably hold off on spending gold on them
I wouldn't be buying materials for them outside of maybe some +honing books if they're cheap
alright, ig ill run stry ff
do you have a second screen?
yes, 4
I'm guessing you're bottlenecked by fusions?
what fusions? what was dat
basically, watching the lore of liveleak rn
Orehas
aaah ye i mighe had abt 10K of he prime oreha but converted it
In your main I assume?
I hope those weren't tradeable ones 
Because that would have been enough to bump all your alts out of t3
Orehas yes, leapstones? Heh
i did a lot of farming ores back in the day
had all 10K+ sitting in box waiting to claim them
Box?
now i have several thousand of the t4 ones tho
From stronghold?
yes
If so they were roster bound
Those were roster bound 
u sure?
You fucked up tldr
hmm whyd i think i could sell em before.....
Not the end of the world anyway
not my first time, wont be my last
They bind after you open the box
Nothing you can't recover from fast enough
i think musolini should have a lot of bound mats on him
Your main bottleneck will be leapstones anyway
mb i mean stalin
my lowest has 3k+ bound leaps
arent costs reduced?
Guess I didn't see your other character names after the 🐀 guy
for honing and upped hone chance
In general compared to when you played, yeah
They are, but we would never know if you have a million mats or not
checkout the stronghold research, should have like a +2/3% or so research for t3
It takes weeks if it's fresh
alrighty
Yeah, since they removed paradise in T3 you kinda wanna try to get outta there asap without breaking the bank
Even if he does, they will do more gold with thae and echi solo, and the eventual random behehe
Imagine if you had like 10k roster bound orehas rn
No?
Buy them with gold
From solo shop
solo shop?
ur tone reminds me of my ex who got me into lost ark, that bich owes me 2K euro
Growth whatever shop, icon top right
2k euro could buy you 10k orehas oh no
Jokes aside
Growth shop
Your best friend
Oh, thats better than I was expecting
Bitch that's way more than what I have
ye had like 5K+ unboundlepas that sold for 100 gold per
You probably could push all your alts out of t3 if you wanted
Just send them to t4 if you want to play them
Nice, yeah those leaps actually skyrocketed with the chaos/guardian/paradise changes
guys how do i fold my laundry in my wardrobe?
my bf is threatenign me if i dotn ask
sorry

dont mind this
also its been sitting on my bed for a few hrs
sorry i dont want to sleep on the couch
4 to be exact
Sleep on the clothes
ye lowkey thinking of staying her eto farm em
No, the thing is you can't reliably farm them anymore
Leaps from chaos are bound, guardians don't drop leaps anymore
Untradeable would have to be from like...world boss or fate ember
oh sadge
Why don't they get rid of t3 already, it's literally a liability by today's standards, t4 is expensive enough and will be even more in the future
To...sell powerpasses? 
Remove 1580-1640 honing
Remove all the old abyss dungeons + argos. They are clutter
Redistribute the ilvl req of legion raids throughout the lower ilvl so a 700ilvl pleb just questing can experience a real dungeon like valtan
Remove most side quests for 80% of continents (up tier 4 regions) to make story easier to follow and less clutter
Streamline msq quests to make it faster
Make old abysses a weekly thing like before, but with end gear, even if it's equalized, but don't equalize on t1~2 gear, shit was horrendous, equalize on end game stuff, even if pre ark grid
just let me purchase horizontal content so i dont have to spend 12 hours to get a rune to run my specific endgame build

shave ur mustache
I just came back yesterday and I’m so lost as to what I’m doing 
vro thisll kill the vibe with the whole angel of death thing i got going on, ill just be some edgy shmuck
well i havea lot of story to do before i get there
Nah, nuke the abyss dungeons and do that with legions raids
we just want rotating end game activity
like make extreme but endgame activity but not just one raid for the duration of the event
I keep seeing ppl mention a balance patching coming to KR is it this reset?
yes this reset
was mentioned in dev stream a few days ago
dont know when it comes to west
prob like 1 or 2 months after?
w
Luterra iirc
irc?
if i remember correctly
can you press locate?
wait, its not just pressing f5 or something?
nope
waity lemme log bakc in him
shouldt be
Might be a lil text box under meehan you have to click
......i had my quests hidden from the right side and there asnt anything to show me that looking at the quests
im sorry
Is they f5

It happens
yep
no
so many times thats the issue 
is there any cemented documentation on the damage of the corvus battle item? do support buffs affect it? dark? atro? day of the week?
we definitely have the battle item... dunno about documentation though
Nop, only guesses
hey guys! saw the game accidently and i really like the looks of it and gameplay. sadly i cant download it or add it to my steam account even with vpn. any idea what to do pls? I am located in morocco
bible shows up as support buffs/dark/atro affecting it, but dunno if that's accurate damage scaling or just a red herring
it does crit too so maybe crit dmg works for it? idk
I looked at a parse and:
Person 1: 2 uses, 1.2b dmg (600m per use?)
Person 2: 3 uses, 3.64b dmg (1.21b per use)
Person 3: 3 uses, 4.73b dmg (1.58b per use, might be due to rumble?)
so the dmg seems to vary
I initially assumed it worked like normal items, in which case it's just ~8x the dmg of a WW, but looking at the tooltip the dmg number doesn't have the same green color as the Tul Rak, so I think Tul Rak may actually just be normal damage, in which case it's just like Bleed procs and other such things that scale with most things.
blame ur country law, vpn create steam account in another country install or something
it everything affects it and I can just assume that then that would be good, the dmg definitely doesn't match the tooltip
Does it let you use battle items in trixion?
someone else told me it's like hyper and only scales off basic AP but that seems wrong
i think something affects it but i have no clue
can see its not the same number for me
I fought solo prokel in trixion and used it, which has infinite battle item use
corvus scales off of ap
doesn't consume them
Tooltip number is based on your AP
Self buffs definitely impact i believe
It seems to scale with everything.
(almost)
Like Bleed
i seee ok
dmg does seem to vary quite greatly depending on either the class or the moment they use it (buffs that are up?)
but for all 3 people in the parse I checked, it did 1% or less of their dmg
even across 3 uses
sad 🙁
so it's not something super significant but it is still 2-5 billion dmg
good for burst probably
At the end of the day it's really just a ww that doesn't use nade slot
sadly if you do use it for stagger, a lot of boss staggers are DR'd so then it really is just a whirlwind
though I don't know if we have exact stagger numbers on it
i mean it does more dmg than a ww
Yeah, compare the dmg number in that tooltip vs one of your skills.
It's like 10x a skill, but also doesn't get any skill-specific modifiers, so it does maybe the same dmg as a rotation?
whirlwind is 288 stagger
deals 1% beacuse its only used 3 times a raid while you use your rotation the entire time maybe?
if the raid you're doing can afford the slots being used for it
the team I was watching was having them throw it in brawl because the DPE on it is very good
the time taken to execute it vs the dmg pay off
so even outside of staggers it has application
in lumincalego, the corvus grenade was doing 295 for me
so 288 without expertise
roughly
DPE = Dmg Per Execution..?
yeah
Just call it Burst
Burst = Dmg Per Cast Time
I stole it from different game
plus it's a placedown which is lit
basically just measuring the dmg it dealt given the action time
if something does a lot of dmg but screws your action economy then it's not necessarily worth it
I think WoW logs use DPE
as a measurement
but anyways
that is true
Sounds like my artillerist Gundam hyper

very important for faster runs during scorp
the animation is slightly obnoxious but still quite fast compared to the dmg dealt for most classes
?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
I dunno if like, some class burst modes would juice it
I've been trying to standardize Burst as a term for over a year by now :3
like igniter
hmm does anyone have a sf at 1710
does igniter even apply a huge dmg increase because sint corvus
non elemental
dunno what the condition is, it might be "only sorceress skills gain dmg" or something
hit 200 again, better to get my last relic chaos over fixing my wrong other chaos relics yeah?
every class will be different
thats stupid, dont need another creation meaning
i specifically remember sf tho because they ABUSED tf outta of the early s3 orbs
when it was critting and affected by dmg modifiers xD
id get relic chaos moon and swap the 19p to that personally
Well speed give literally nothing off value I think
So id prob replace that personally
drop speed to 14p
SF might be the winner then
plus er giving 55% atk
it does crit too
chaos moon and go spec bard
use that speed
(dont actually)
so intentionally identical but split across 5 hits?
cause corvus does 5 hits
i think so
Relics more important for sups for sure, since their cores tend to be pretty flexible, with many viable Moons and Suns.
but for some reason when i was doing lumen, ww grenade showed - stagger
like it wasnt being tracked
I think that's always been the case, people had to datamine to get the stagger value for it
here is level 3 type
or just pixel measure
hype*
would make the 17p math easier on everyone and i can start cutting for better sides
seems unconditional so yeah might be juicy for them
also further cements its usefulness in rumble, I'm sure a lot of classes have a dead moment in their rotation where they can hit it
of course... if you're already clearing the raid no problem... most people aren't gonna want to spend 91 raw gold + 1.5 whirlwind grenades + small amount of logs per use
but if you're pushing for dps check then it's good dmg
otherwise just use it as a WW
as long as the animation time was worth pressing (other skills are down or worse)
can't even get people to eat steak or use darks most of the time and I would think those are more effective dmg increases
outside of burst/stagger value
rDPS some day
Hello I have a question, ive heared that the story got a major revamp/got simplified. Someone said in a yt video, that if you only do the story quests you end up at around ilvl 1620, is that correct and how long would that take?
attempt to create a new steam account on a different country using a vpn, or ask someone if they can do one for you rq, if you live in a country not officially supported you aint downloading it unfortunately, so thats prob your only way
1585, several hours but depends on each individual, you either read or skip dialogues
How many several hours xd
will you read or skip
skip
so you already used the free one
use powerpass on first character, play that one
alts, do story to get them up, or pay for powerpass, or wait for another free one
30 to 40hrs give or take
or you pay gold to skip all the story and will take like
5 - 10 mins
pay gold?
30-40 hrs for completely new players or old?
are you new new
bruh
gotta know if i can throw acronims or explain everything
yea
so
knowledge transfer = pay gold and skip story, 0 to 1585 you get gear, 1585 onwards you have to hone and a KT* will only skip the story (you still get the t4 gear from north kurzan story to use later when you get to 1620>1640 on hone transfering)
it costs gold and you cant go from 0 to 1585 instantly, you have to KT every continent, so it will take like 100k gold total or something dumb
maybe less
you are not forced to make alts ever, you only ever make alt chars if you want to play the game more
they are not needed, never were never will be
if you still want to make alts then feel free to, just know honing from 1585 to 1620 can take weeks to a month if you dont have mats saved beforehand or you are not funneling some event stuff instead of using it on your main
Powerpass cost should be reduced the more story you have done, if you wanna do some mish mash combo of story/knowledge transfer/powerpass.
that as well, using gold all the way to kurzan is like a 4000 cost reduction for it
4000 of what?
ur telling newbie here
im telling and slapping you
hi is now a good time to start playing?
As good a time as any. There is a power pass (story skip) available & a Mokoko Express (progression support)
These events help push you into end game and do more interesting content right away
Generally speaking, early game honing & stuff was removed so its easier to play the story. Dailies and weeklies don't take very long so you don't need a massive time commitment.
every class beat content
o so pick whatever i find cool
Player skill is far more impactful on performance than class choice. The golden rule is always pick the char you think is the coolest
You can always watch videos of gameplay for interesting class to help you choose
You only get 1 power pass so use it wisely (There will be another free one in June)
Hunger is okay, but might be a lot for a new player. High apm, high mobility (sometimes unintentional).
Still a better choice than lunar as far as reaper goes I suppose for new players
oh 🙁 ok
dang so i gotta be careful
Events thingies are 1 time per region. You could also make a character on an EU server to try it before commiting on NA
jk i had a garbage moon core i got from serca, so now what =X
(fixed my gems too got a few extra cp)
Show current cores then?
maybe, it was just to get my gems squared away
i can move them up or down now, and i still have my 200
Either way id prob still replace speed for same reason I gave earlier
i'll mess w/ the different cores now to see if any are worth dropping
i read something about lvl 10 skill gems. will i be okay without them?
presumably nothing to relic better than leggo to relic 
Yes
o good idea
Most people only use at MOST lvl 8 gems.
icic
7s are perfectly fine until pretty late in the game too
yup, 1.7% increase if i swap two of the dmg relics to leggo
feelsbadman
(which is more like a 4-5% effective rate for astros in general)
does the game give me 7s?
from either the power pass or the mokoko event?
think you get a few from the mokoko event
you can buy them in the growth boost shop as well
Event gives some 7s iirc, option to purchase (with real money) some extra progression stuff in the event too (including extra gems)
Between the express and solo gold shop you should have full 7s
is it a "take whatever relic chaos the calc says gives more cp" angle?
Hmm yeah I guess
I think you could check in trixion too?
CP should work in general, but in the case of speed vs weapon, speed gives literally zero dmg but weapon does
that doesn't mean speed is completely useless... maybe it's an OK interim option if you're a spec class with uncapped atk/move speed
but generally people are gonna say, just avoid it, it gives no CP and no damage

spec bard
Skill issue tbh
+30.20% -> 33.88% 😮
even on ancient it only gives 3.5% speed at 17p... which feels really not good enough for an entire core slot
even if you wanted to seriously consider its viability

It needs to give cdr too to compete
mine was more just trying to get more gems on the board
but swapping was modestly stronger cp-wise, presumably performancewise too
relic echoing brand was like +3.6%
relic faith enh instead of relic fort was like +3.1%
what class/spec is this for?
Bard

sup bard
ah yeah
weapon is actually only +2%
+2% what? attack? cp?
cp in the calc
I see
not sure what the raw is
well it's just a bunch of weapon power, which translates to attack, which means stronger AP buff
right right
it's the only chaos star core that affects our dmg performance so
no real alternative option
still using leggo weapon
just seems like spending the 200 cores on relic+ echoing brand is the biggest gain rn
3.5k ap loss
So like 1k ap on buff
6102.64 -> 5999.69 if I put in speed instead to keep the astrogems
hmmm
weapon is generally one of the weaker cores for CP compared to other slots
yeah attack doesn't affect our buffs at all
thats my takeaway
so it's a potato
right, which is why i used it as a control 😄

so im gonna try to run a4 + kaz and see if i get lucky
otherwise i'll go for brand and in the distant future for weapon, looks like
couple gems off my last lvl 8 then i dunno what the best use of money is
that was one is a no brainer
to up brand then waepon?
yeah
Hm kaz? 👀
prog group didn't show so maybe next week
got most fo the way through 2-2
they went and split off and got most of the way throguh 2-3 but didn't kill it
then flaked this week 😄
If you pass sac with most up it should be clearge
ye
i wasn't in the 2-3 i still got some learning to do
though i had most of 2-2 down pretty well

only danger of running haals today is if i somehow get 6 stars next week right?
Which would be highly unlikely, but yes
right
think i'm gonna do it today since tomorrow will be busier
sparkles are only from chaos rift?
ye
Yep
how is hunger reapers dps like atm? is it bad? alot of haters on reddit 🙁
average, slightly above average
reddit is the last place you want to get info from
they hate life in general, more so the game
nsfw up in there, is that also hate life
i will act like i understood what you said and still walk away
o where is this from?
uwuowo
Is there a route for excavating/hunting/logging in the new areas?
likely be
I thought you'd need to do these in south rimeria but I don't know how that works
most wtl drop whatever, only a specific few are from a given continent
What's wtl
world tree leaves
nah, that 14% is the top performing classes which are the more broken ones
Hunger is just average
Anything about excav or hunting or do these not really exist?
idk i dont do them
meaning, if you're looking for materials/farming for gold, just pick whichever is most profitable/less crowded
logging is easy and fast so i do that one
logging reuire +1, excavating solo
nah, you can log solo
but speedwise
14% is extremely mild compared to what we had in the past
Idk I just thought excav cause you can technically hit the relic chest to sell
were classes were like 50% weaker or some shit lmao
Or use the ruins to sell
its up to you
doesnt matter what you do you're usually doing lifeskills to craft abidos anyway
you either save time to do something else, even if not in the game, or get for more profit for more time spent
no one is forcing you on either
If you hit them but they have a every low drop rate
So go off of either what you enjoy doing or what you have a good tool for and enjoying doing
you're either selling the raw materials
all
or crafting them into something and selling that
if ya new, stronghold wont have reduces cost%boost
you always have a stronghold lol
every1 has 1 no matter what
Idk :D
song of hearth and home takes u to stronghold
Ight

Hey guys for new raid materials on support. If I choose to craft weapon it would make my buffs stronger right?
Assuming you hone the weapon, yes
Ok got it. I just clear and am trying to figure what I should make lol
weapon is broadly the best for everyone, i imagine
(assuming you hone once you transfer)
Generally it is largest dmg/buff increase yea
Either way should do weapon + 4 armors in first 2 weeks of hm
