Now it’s too bright

I do all my honing there qq

Suffering from success

bold geyser
#

i still like voldis best i think

#

does kr have a new hub yet?

#

...oh man this calc has default values for materials, had reds at 40 per 100

#

😂

sinful compass
#

tender flicker

rohendal supremacy

glossy swallow
#

Blushie what do i pick here

bold geyser
#

have to finish s rimeria, then the one-time siege on kazeros, then after everything assault on diasporo to bridge into 4.5

rose wren
#

mid?

wide flume
#

Is it worth trading cube tickets for hourglass sand?

bold geyser
tender flicker
#

fusions

bold geyser
#

with current costs those are all pretty good value tbh

rose jewel
wide flume
rose jewel
#

You trade sands for cubes brother, it's the opposite

#

If you want an actual educated answer, wait for the math nerds, if you want my answer, no I wouldn't

bold geyser
#

thats trading the equivalent of two 5th unlock cube tickets for one 4th

#

hellllll no

livid fossil
#

lol

pure basin
#

Has there been any optimized trick for serca g2 120 to find the real clone? I heard turning ur brightness to 90 but wondering if theres anything else

rose jewel
#

Having actual workable eyes

#

It's not hard to compare clone 1 and clone 2, you only ever have 2 in your position

jaunty igloo
#

do u think they are going to fix the old 1730 keys

bold geyser
#

oh i haven't checked does it still not work

jaunty igloo
#

nope

bold geyser
#

keep throwing them in altars i guess 🥲

tender flicker
#

The real one has a shiny white tinge to them and has a more prominent bony tail. Fakes are more see through. The mouse trick never really worked for my group, but some people say if you get to them fast enough it works (like space bar spam to position while screen is still dark).

jaunty igloo
#

got 12 on them mfs...

tawdry ice
#

which one

#

do i choose

bold geyser
#

what item level are you

tawdry ice
#

1710

bold geyser
#

how are your accs?

tawdry ice
#

ok

bold geyser
#

its 160k gold

tender flicker
#

I'd probably go gold

bold geyser
#

sorry

#

220

tawdry ice
#

is gem

#

not gold

#

idk if thats good

tender flicker
#

oh

bold geyser
#

ohhh so it is

tender flicker
#

oh wait

#

even better, no?

bold geyser
#

so its 1 level 8 gem

tender flicker
#

unless you're about to push to like all 9s

tawdry ice
#

i have a 4/1 stone

tender flicker
#

lvl 8s be expensive

tawdry ice
#

so ability is useless to me

bold geyser
#

yeah no def not hte ability stone

#

its a single bound level 8 gem

#

or 240 silver-tap accs

tender flicker
#

isn't it...more?

tawdry ice
#

275 is wild

#

im low in sliver

bold geyser
#

guess this spreadsheet is outdated

tender flicker
#

3 lvl 8s is >1m gold in cost

bold geyser
#

forget i said anything

tender flicker
#

1 is the 1640 hell according to maxroll

#

Gems are best value by far imo

tawdry ice
#

ok

#

im choosing gems

bold geyser
#

agreed

tawdry ice
#

OH is 3

#

you right

#

wtf

tender flicker
#

yeah lol

bold geyser
#

yeah i was def looking at the wrong sheet ignore me

tawdry ice
#

i thoguht it was one

bold geyser
#

3 lvl 8s is wild

tender flicker
#

hell altering a legendary is kinda crazy, grats

tawdry ice
#

i should have gotten 100

#

but the last one was a 1

tender flicker
#

Would hitting floor 100 count as a death on a frost netherkey? mokokoStare

tawdry ice
#

yeah

#

i didnt die once

tawdry ice
#

how many gems would i have gotten if i hit 100

tender flicker
#

5

tawdry ice
#

unlucky

rose jewel
#

Bitch 99.9% can't even get past the first base floors

candid lake
tawdry ice
#

87

candid lake
#

1700 is 5 level 8's

#

and 1730 is 6 level 8's

#

1680 is 4

tawdry ice
#

I wanted engraving

#

but it didnt show up

#

so i just chose gems

rose jewel
#

For what, to get 100 useless ones?

sinful compass
#

guys whats dps per sec for 1660

rose jewel
#

Some people are not happy with gold because they wanted diamonds, I swear dude

rose jewel
#

1660 is a useless zone to calculate dps

#

1680 min, and even then you will lack nearly everything, I doubt you will get a clear answer but that question is extremely specific per class, so you should go to your class ch to ask

#

Don't be surprised if there is no clear answer

faint cedar
#

I doubt you get any true metrics for damage until 1700

candid lake
#

1660 solo raid is pretty easy because the siderals nuke the bosses xD @sinful compass

faint cedar
#

Honestly maybe nothing solid until 1710

candid lake
#

also depends on your enlightenment, skill points, class

#

etc

candid lake
#

like only for aegir

#

the sidereals can do like 100 bars or something

#

i forget

faint cedar
#

Boss basically falls over with hyper and sidereal

sinful compass
#

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuh

candid lake
#

only in aegir tho

sinful compass
#

ye that wouldve saved me a gud 2 min

#

fyi im veyr gud at doing what im told, the problem is that i need to be told specifically, so until now the thought of using sidereal for dmg didnt even crossmy mind

candid lake
#

in everything else tho, sides generally only do like

#

10-30 bars or some shit

#

idk

#

it's just mega buffed in aegir for some reason

faint cedar
#

There’s the special sidereal in gate 2 of aegir. Thirain does a voice line, as he speaks you cast ctrl x I think and it doe a big nuke to him

azure isle
#

azenna can outdps a bozo in armoche

bold geyser
#

usually used during some necessary stagger or destruction check

faint cedar
#

What is that ladies name

rose jewel
#

Special inana

candid lake
#

side dmg tho for hidden is less then casting regular evelyn xD

faint cedar
#

Isn’t thirain the most dmg

azure isle
#

slay queen

faint cedar
#

On aegir

candid lake
#

what thiran?

rose jewel
#

Just throw wei coz huge ass aoe

tawdry ice
#

got another legendary nether key

faint cedar
#

Oh yeah it’s wei

candid lake
#

there's thar, wei, and eve

tawdry ice
candid lake
#

well for me tho

faint cedar
#

It’s been a min since I’ve done aegir

candid lake
#

eve dmg is really condensed

#

since it's only 1 attack continuous

#

although im not sure if the dmg from eve is comparable to the others

rose jewel
#

Wait I said inana I'm dumb

candid lake
#

but u might phase while you're tryna recast

livid fossil
#

Permission to smack Signum 🤔

faint cedar
#

Even more in hard mode

candid lake
faint cedar
#

Frontier armoche clears were very often watching people run around in circles in sandstorm praying for Azena + recast

#

It was actually pretty funny

supple shoal
azure isle
rose jewel
#

Did azena just parse and beat all your asses

#

Holy skill issue

azure isle
#

she has +9 esther

amber grove
#

what was the honing support chest again?

tender flicker
#

honing juice, breaths

candid lake
#

lava and glacial breaths

faint cedar
#

I’m impressed that the 1720 slayer couldn’t break 200m

amber grove
#

this is an alt should I go for the bound gold or the juice?

faint cedar
#

Bound gold

faint cedar
#

You can use it for karma, tapping, ark grid, etc

amber grove
#

32K gold is a big thing for this alt

#

gotta get it to higher ilevel

urban jolt
#

can someone explain to me why I cant buy the knowledge transfer here for this account?

shy chasm
#

Rimeria is 1640

urban jolt
#

I thought by buying that story I get 1640 gear

shy chasm
#

No

urban jolt
#

It was that case in the previous ones

shy chasm
#

Powerpass does that

#

Not knowledge transfer

candid lake
#

gear is only given up to voldis

#

1600 does give gear but you need to be 1620 to use the box to transfer to t4

livid fossil
#

1580 it stops giving free gear

urban jolt
#

I see

#

alright

livid fossil
#

Then you sit hone 1620 and you use 164o box from story

rose jewel
#

That's why it's called a dead zone, 1585 > 1620 is a struggle and a half because of the lack of given mats outside of events

livid fossil
#

Then they took hell out of t3 so you are super boned

amber grove
#

uh which one is the best?

#

this is an alt

candid lake
#

what ilevel

#

(yes it matters)

amber grove
#

1654

#

so accessory probably useless

candid lake
#

then it's either between elysian tickets and chaos stones imo

#

hmm all your gear qual is 70

rose jewel
#

Chaos

livid fossil
#

Accessories is meh

amber grove
#

got pretty unlucky

urban jolt
#

So im basically kinda doomed between these

livid fossil
#

Chaos or ticket

rose jewel
#

You probably attempted to use everything on one till 100

#

And that's bad

amber grove
#

no I actually only got 1 success on the gloves

#

and thats it

#

I got really unlucky on this alt lol

rose jewel
#

Uh huh

amber grove
livid fossil
#

That’s not 100

amber grove
#

better than nothing

rose jewel
#

/bean that dude above

amber grove
#

given that I got one that went to 73

livid fossil
amber grove
#

now the real question

#

do I save the last key

#

or do I gamble

livid fossil
#

Save for next week for a chance at a alter or you use it

amber grove
#

last time I got a frost key it was shit

livid fossil
#

Jumping skill issues

shy chasm
#

Just get lucky 5head

lol

primal herald
#

guys, is "dmg of mp consuming skills" a different multiplier

#

thus making illicit spell and mp eff increase engraving better than they seem

#

since the sources of "dmg of mp consuming skills" are really low?

#

compared to evolution dmg or additional dmg or w/e else there is in ark passive and engravings

sweet pivot
#

how can I make more red honing mats T4.5 besides chaos and paradise? 3.5k per tap is wild................

vast oriole
#

and have patience

candid lake
#

and ilicit psell is evo dmg

#

which is additive with other evo dmg

#

but it only adds evo dmg on mp using spells

primal herald
#

illicit is 5 evo and 5 "mp skill dmg"

#

so it just counts as 10 evo?

#

surely not cuz then its just a better limit break

#

surely u have to give something up to get lower mp costs

candid lake
candid lake
#

it doesnt work on class´s x skill

primal herald
#

hm

primal herald
#

even engravings that are worded exactly the same are multipliers?

candid lake
#

yeah

primal herald
#

like stab status and cursed doll both say outgoing damage

candid lake
#

except adrenaline

#

im p sure

#

i am pretty sure that outgoing damage is multiplicative

#

note that dmg to foes is diff

tacit abyss
#

why can I not transfer the weapon?

livid fossil
#

I thought we had to do each piece like normal. Now we just need 1 lvl 9

primal herald
#

afaik

#

cuz it needs to be 1730

primal herald
#

ye

tacit abyss
#

thanks

amber grove
primal herald
#

what was the chance for keen blunt to do the -20% dmg again?

amber grove
#

which one would be half decent?

vast oriole
#

i think destruction stone iosnt that bad

#

if you want to upgrade your main

primal herald
#

depends on what u have of each tbh

vast oriole
#

but is it main 1730+ or?

primal herald
#

u could be on 300k destruction stones already

#

also depends on what stone or accessory u have

vast oriole
primal herald
#

ye also depends if its his main or like a 1700 alt

amber grove
#

yeah its my main

vast oriole
#

what ilvl are you

amber grove
#

at 1700

vast oriole
#

what accessories you have

primal herald
#

and how much silver

amber grove
#

shit ones I got for free from express I think

amber grove
primal herald
#

note that trying for the accesory chest is like 10mil silver

#

that should be fine then

vast oriole
#

yeah prob accs

amber grove
vast oriole
#

roll 2 stats

amber grove
#

thats where I am at with stones

vast oriole
#

and if its shit, dont continue

amber grove
vast oriole
#

wait

#

wait

#

wait

#

wait

#

wait

primal herald
#

just a sidenote, the stone chest lets you choose between red/blue stones, u dont get both (and you always pick red stones)

vast oriole
#

from express

amber grove
#

yes

vast oriole
#

you mean the paid express?%

obsidian valve
amber grove
#

no

vast oriole
#

what are the stats on them ?

amber grove
#

free

vast oriole
#

so the waymar mission

#

not express

#

so yeah accs xD

primal herald
amber grove
#

nothing too great

primal herald
#

tbh it cant really be anything else

#

cuz if its 5% the engraving is too strong

#

and if its 15% its too weak

obsidian valve
amber grove
#

max hpdeadge

what even is this stat

primal herald

its for supports

No

lavish mortar

so bound gold it is

lavish mortar
livid fossil
#

It’s plus 12?of normal non event

amber grove
#

is it worth it to try free taps on weapon or do I just dump em on armor?

azure isle
#

if you dont like decimals on ur ilvl, go evenly until all are +20

obsidian valve
#

i think i did weapon taps if i was close to the ilvl spot i wanted to park overall, but otherwise focused on freetapping armors PeepoYes

azure isle
#

if you want to be mathematically efficient

#

same thing, all +20

#

then whatever

amber grove

0 success

amber grove

got scammed fr

obsidian valve

mhm this game likes to scam, gotta be careful KEKW

also for adv honing after lvl 20 is there any ways to get these other than buying them?

1700 is usually AH 20, normal honing 18

i'm keeping my alts at 1680 for now lol

lavish mortar
livid fossil
#

I just use character bound gold when I get it lol

obsidian valve
wet tide
#

my normal honing rn is +18 but i just started using adv honing now (2 items at +10)
do i just ignore the normal honing until i get the adv honing until +21-40?

#

it does require a ton of gold for me rn

amber grove
azure isle
#

you are meant to ignore normal honing until you are all +40

wet tide
azure isle
#

dont huh me

bold geyser
#

(you're meant to have been doing it this whole time instead of regular honing so much 😁 )

amber grove
#

2k a tap is atrocious

azure isle
#

2k is nothing

#

serca weapon is 5k per tap

wet tide
#

yeah now i've realized what these kazeros raids mats were meant to be used for...

azure isle
#

-# thats also nothing

bold geyser

Guaranteed level every 20k gold vs regular taps

if you complain for 2k i should be killing myself

thats f100 at 1640

highest floor I ve been at is 97 and I got like 75 K gold from it which got me to 1700

lavish mortar

Just craft abidos yes

amber grove
#

on my main

lavish mortar
#

If you wanna push fast you can't just use paradise mats

amber grove
azure isle
#

push ur sh to 1710 if u can

#

then gk/db to 1680

#

thats gonna earn u some gold

#

dont work on multiple at once

#

chill

#

1 1710 gets you 110k gold without possible W auction loot

azure isle
#

hoard paradise mats on alts until you are ready to hone them

#

work a job every 2-3 days and craft abidos

#

work on ur sh

hearty kraken
#

still looking for input as to which astrogems to choose. do I go for the middle ones now or still stability/corrosion?

livid fossil
#

I only push alts with character bound gold

bold geyser
#

if you're having trouble hitting 17p all you likely want stability + corrosion, once you have those and preferably a little beyond that for wiggle room you want solidity and distortion for better side-nodes

rich verge
#

ye 8/9 costs are generally bis unless u already have 20p and/or ancient and looking for giga side nodes

bold geyser
#

probably time 😄

rich verge
#

if u can get over 17p without completely cooking your sidenodes its worth so i would still say 8s and 9s

hearty kraken
#

my side notes

rich verge
#

answer doesnt change then

hearty kraken
#

so middle ones it is i guess, thanks

rich verge
#

10 cost is only for like super min max bis since it rolls 5/5 max

azure isle
#

first answer shouldve been "rearrange your cores"

rich verge
#

i told him like 3 days ago

bold geyser
#

i imagine it's only appealing w/ ancient cores

rich verge
#

hes still a creature

hearty kraken
#

what would be the efficient way to get to 3,5k and 4k cp?

#

except the new honing stuff

i imagine the gold sheet is still the way to go

gold sheet?

Question about t4.5 do you lose your AH40 bonus dmg?

bold geyser
#

sour wind
#

+2+3% base dmg

bold geyser

but im pretty sure the macro assumes you dont have books for AH

Is it worth to wait for books value wise or not a big deal in your opinion?

#

ohhh

hearty kraken
#

is it better to try and craft a legendary skin yourself or just buy it?

vast oriole
#

Personally my luck with that was abysmal so buying it was better

#

But theres barely leg skins in the market so

livid fossil
#

I got bunch of cloth and some yaz jars collecting dust

lavish mortar
#

I rolled like 80 jars on gk
1 leggo skin

#

10% btw -_-

rich verge
#

i wouldnt spend more than like 180k per skin tho

#

some pigs trying to sell wep for 300+

hearty kraken
#

theres not a single one up for valk

rich verge
#

valk is a toughie for leggo skins for sure

#

GK is another kekW

#

even at 2-250 its probs still worth over craft tho

#

on average

did idont have to upgrade then 19+ and get new gear or up to 25+ and get new gear

otherwise stay safe

#

yea

balmy plank
# peak furnace A bit New on lost ark, is it a good time for me to play?

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.

peak furnace
#

hopefully i dont get confused

#

Oh you will YEP But its okay

#

It can be an overwhelming game to learn for sure but thats why this channel exists. Ill link some general guides you might find useful at some point too

debating if i should use my 2x relic selector cores on my main to switch to the higher ceiling build, or use it on my alts since their pity will take longer
i have another db but they wont have the same build so i'll have to convert the gems everytime

midnight torrent
#

hello friends, anyone experienced this before? I was just playing a few hours ago and came back to this mokokoAngry

faint cedar
#

did you have riot vanguard running or any other games with EAC active?

strange viper
#

Did you try turning it off and on again?

midnight torrent
#

yeah tried both of your checks earlier on

#

and still persists

strange viper
#

delete EAC (the entire folder) then verify game files.

midnight torrent
#

Yeah tried that too and added EAC in firewall

#

damn unlucky searched this discord and the only one with the same issue is back in 2022 and no fix were given nuuu

strange viper
#

flush dns, unplug router for a minute.

#

yeah ive seen a few ppl have the same issue, i dont know if they managed to fix it or not tho.

midnight torrent
#

damn unlucky still the same problem

#

ill try unplugging router

#

didnt work

strange viper
#

turn off firewall

lucid axle
#

im currently working my way to 25 85% pity rn should i just be doing kurzan or just doing chaos rift?

#

reds are getting fucking expensive lol

bold geyser
#

T4 25 or T4.5?

pale ivy
lucid axle
#

its 500k if i just buy the reds straight up

minor briar
#

funnel from alts

#

ur about to hit it so doing 4.5 is better

#

u get like 700 reds a rested

#

350 non i assume

lucid axle
#

how to funnel from alts if everything is bound Susge

strange viper
#

shouldve done it a year ago.

minor briar
#

oh wait the funnel thing is only 1740

#

w8 so wat was the memo short about..

minor briar
#

buying reds rn is crazy

minor briar
#

is it changed?

#

not on atm

lucid axle
#

oh yeah

#

1740

minor briar
#

oh nobody mentioned that in the comments of the short

#

completely forgot about that

lucid axle
#

yeah doubt ill be doing any honing anytime soon so i doubt ill be losing out on much

bold geyser
#

is it at all reasonable to buy a4 + kaz chests explicitly for cores?

tender flicker
#

Thats more or less what I buy them for

lucid axle
#

good mats too

midnight torrent
#

so i found a solution but went back to square one again

#

I reinstalled it

#

afterwards, I tried logging connecting to another character to run raids and while it was connecting and loading, I tried opening the bible as i realized it isn't open yet. then boom same error message.

bold geyser
# tender flicker Thats more or less what I buy them for

just gonna send it on my alts that i'm trying to get ark grid done on, but not sure about my bard who has 4 relics and 2 legendaries (bad relics in those slots) and i'm trying to get the last two slots done and/or luck into an ancient from hm a4 // some kinda kaz // some kinda serca

midnight torrent
#

able to login with firewall disable but somehow trying to log in to my valkyrie is causing the firewall message wut

tender flicker
#

I’m still trying to get ark grid settled on most of my alts so I’m buying. If your bard is in a spot where they you plan to park them for a while, you are strapped for gold, and are otherwise finding parties okay, I could see either way.

strange viper
#

delete your valkyr, problem solved.

#

praise the omnissiah

midnight torrent
#

man what is up with this game

#

on the day i have the most free time too

#

if anyone else here faces this issue

#

do let us know if you found a fix! 😄

hardy ember
#

anyone can buy royal crystal?

#

in the game cuz I can't lol
I just wanna buy powerpass for my new class

strange viper
#

you have to have it enabled while in-game

midnight torrent
#

might be! logging into my main now no issues so far

#

nah nvm it's not enabled

tender flicker
#

As a heads up, powerpass costs less the more story you have done. So you can knowledge transfer or manually do some story first to cut the cost. A straight up powerpass is pretty expensive.

strange viper
midnight torrent
#

oh

#

mb

strange viper
#

but im glad you got your problem fixed finally

midnight torrent
#

nahhhh not really

#

im able to log into one character and thats it

#

wtf is wrong with my gameeee

strange viper
midnight torrent
#

yeyea now im just checking the characters affected

#

i remember leaving my characters in someone's stronghold

strange viper
#

way back when the game just came out i had a similar issue. if i sailed to a certain island my game would just crash and the character would become stuck there forever, if i tried to log in to the character i get permanent loading screen and eventually have to alt+f4, had to make ticket to have customer support move my character somewhere else

#

and cos im a genius i went and did the same thing again 2 more times.. 2 more tickets i had to put in. lmao

midnight torrent
#

lmao

#

wait

#

so one ticket per character? that's annoying

strange viper
#

well yea i got one character stuck there, made ticket for someone to move it, then went on a different alt and sailed to same area and got stuck again

#

it was some story related or quest stuff, i think it was one of the pirate islands.. i dont remember why i had to go there but turned out that place was completely fucked up on my game client for some reason

#

its a weird game.. some spaghetti code for sure.

pale ivy
midnight torrent
#

that's crazy

#

i would think verifying the files should fix that

urban jolt
#

What's the best way to level up ALTs right now? I did the knowledge transfer until I think 1585 which was south kurzan I believe? Idk I'm at work rn, but now I can't just get to 1600, I wonder what the correct way of doing things are because I still have very little idea about the whole game, I always only did event power pass and never really played. I don't know the daily and weekly routine on mains and ALTs sadly

Which dungeons to run for honing mats/gold etc

pale ivy
#

hopefully it fixes

urban jolt
#

Also my story just says wait for the destined day lol.

dim pulsar
#

Soo wait for destined day Kapp

#

Gotta hone higher

urban jolt
#

Yea but like, what do I actually do and farm

#

I know it sounds stupid but I legit don't know

strange viper
#

lifeskills, logging, hunting or excavating and then use mats to craft oreha fusions. do highest guardian/chaos dungeon you can for mats. and do your top 3 highest solo raids for more mats/gold

#

get to 1620 then transfer to t4 and start doing paradise for more mats

midnight torrent
urban jolt
#

Are these all the weekly and daily things you can do in general?

pale ivy
midnight torrent
#

yep

#

hahaha thought so!

#

shit's broken

strange viper

#

my sorc, which is in my stronghold, TP'd to Vern and now is affected with the same error

it just depends on where your character is at tbh

how many months has serca been out on KR so far?

spring spruce

like 3 months

primal herald

hm

#

so should be atleast that much until we get nightmare aegir extreme right

from memos video it seems like its actually really low dps check so as long as you can get 1770 should be doable on nightmare

but 1770 means full 19 serca gear lol

ive never looked in this shop before cuz i dont whale, but it seems like some stuff here is worth for f2p too just to buy with the blue crystals

#

this one as well from my calcs is a bit better than just buying gem from auction house

#

and ive bought gems before from auction house lol

#

shouldve gotten this one instead

#

both of these are on the bonus room page

#

is there some other good value blue crystal stuff?

lavish mortar
primal herald
#

ye i was just looking at maris too

lavish mortar
#

Which it might be cuz it has 4.5 mats

primal herald
#

the upper t4 sstuff is worth

#

but thats prob just because they are hyper expensive at auction rn

#

cuz the initial rush and all that

#

but ig blue crystals are also up in price because of that as well

lavish mortar
#

Also just a very low supply of tradable honing mats nowadays

how do i get rid of these? untradable, cannot be destroyed, cannot be dismantled.

rose jewel
# urban jolt Yea but like, what do I actually do and farm

Late but

That is why we tell quite literally every single person that alts made outside events is bad, it will take weeks / a month+ to get them out of t3 due to very poor mat generation unless you funnel your event mats and some gold (prob like 20k~) to the alt instead of your main to make it stronger, daily chaos dungeon/guardian raid, some one time rewards from islands (roster wide tho) and weekly solo shop materials

#

The only way to speed up things considerably is buying a powerpass, which will cost you like 20 if you're already at kurzan

chads. what will be your recommended CP for comfortably clearing serca normal mode?

fallow lotus
hearty kraken
#

you said comfortably not able to

tender flicker
#

If you have a T4 character, you can help push along a T3 character. But if you're at the point where you're buying fusions, it could eat into your T4 character's progression if you're still early on with limited gold income.

#

T3 research and cheap decay honing books can help

hearty kraken
#

you can be 2k and clear just that with 2,5 you shoudl be able to easily clear

rose jewel
#

The T3 char can generate its own gold

fallow lotus
#

yea i'm looking for comfortably clearing it

rose jewel
#

Yeah 2.5 is a very comf spot for a clean clear, you prob won't even see rumble unless your group has very high stag (G1 at least)

fallow lotus
#

my 2.3 zerker cleared g1 but we couildn't finish it despite being so close

rose jewel
#

But around 2.2+ it can clear perfectly fine if the group has at least one neuron alive

fallow lotus
#

LMAO

rose jewel
#

Oh

#

As I was typing, damn

fallow lotus
#

then someone on the team was like "i don't think we have the dmg"

rose jewel

Another thing I have really seen is that people don't use darks

fallow lotus

i use darks everywhere ❤️

rose jewel
#

You, what about the other 3

fallow lotus
#

i have no idea

#

it was a PROG party

mellow mauve

somebody probably was doing really low dmg

rose jewel
#

That's the issue

fallow lotus
#

i wonder how long PROG parties will be available

mellow mauve
#

or your support wasn't enabling the group

rose jewel

So you use the bible

no bc idk what that is

cause if you got to 60 and did it, you can basically join reclears

the main thing about g2 tho is tryna find which patterns you can greed the fk out of

Just grab mfers and get in

and potentially saving main dmg for rumble

i love that lol

#

if u see stagger really close, like within the next 10 sec or something, I would try to do some stagger while saving high dmging skills

for sustained classes, it's w/e if u dont

but it can be really important for burst classes like... dps bard

or valk

#

or igniter sorc

#

what class are you palying again?

Zerk I think

zerker and breaker

try to keep improving your character and getting into the raids best you can (then default to solo raids if you can't get into parties closer to the end of the week to keep progressing your character where you can)

I would recommend funneling your gold from solo raids/paradise/and whatever group raid you can join into finishing karma asap.You'll probably go up 200?cp. Next use your gold to buy the 5 level 7 gems in growth shop that'll run you 100k gold. Then buy the h/0s accs in the growth shop that'll be 150k for the full set. Then cope for bracelet uprade rng if you get any bracelet boxes from paradise.

#

That'll probably put you around 1.7-1.8k with just 20ah

lavish mortar
#

30AH on weapon gives a good bit of cp too smilemk

mellow mauve
#

since that don't require additional material (minus the karma taps)

rose jewel
#

I would argue going mid mid accs if he has pheons

#

They're 20k, 30 at worse and they are better than h/0
