Logging (lifeskill) can be done in pairs to speed it up

[sudden adder]

is there any way to get more hell keys besides the ones you get from paradise?

[livid violet]

yes. exchange cube tickets or buy on cash shop

[dim pulsar]

Weapon for dps if ur like 24/25 ita dmg increase

[sudden adder]

I honestly dont even know how to get cube tickets, never gotten any

[tender flicker]

rng from chaos/kurzan

[dim pulsar]

Chaos dungs, guild shop, f4 shop

[sudden adder]

never gotten any from chaos dung, have trouble finding a guild so its f4 shop for me I guess

[dim pulsar]

Just join any guild that has 80+ players and is atleast 26lvl

Chaos dung is rng, but u should get atleast 1 cube per week if u do it daily

[sudden adder]

ill try and look for a guild when im home then

[lucid axle]

do u guys keep high quality acc?

ive been keeping 90+ ones but they are starting to clog up my storage and i havent yet touched them lol

[sudden adder]

I have no idea what to do with acc, as they always seem to roll worse than the one the pass gave me

so i just d/a them all

im very well aware I shouldnt but im sure im not at the point where it matters yet

[bold geyser]

the chance of good rolls is quite low

[lucid axle]

yeah i feel like at this point its a waste unless i have infinite gold

[median gorge]

how hard is armoche NM?

cant really find any learning

[gray verge]

NA Learning Server

It’s not that difficult but getting into a group that is lenient on newer mokos can be the tough part.
This server has regular learner runs and should help you get started

[dim pulsar]

Not difficult if ur atleast 1600cp

[median gorge]

thanks guys I'm in the group

maybe have to imposter my way into it - 2k CP

[bold geyser]

More than enough for a nm group

Watching some videos won't hurt though 😁

[dim pulsar]

Yeah, esp g2 mechs

[cyan kiln]

You can’t really int an experienced group in g2 though as long as you don’t grab the shield and yeet it into space.

[true folio]

because I remember it was there and now it's gone? to gain achievements title: Dolaris

[azure isle]

doloris is gone

[dense pagoda]

hi, i have a question as a returning player. should i prio leveling karma or ark grid first

[lavish mortar]

Karma should be done

[gray verge]

It's gone to Legacy section, if you earned it you have title- but it doesn't count towards achievement score

[lavish mortar]

Was only achievable week 1

[dense pagoda]

alright ty i do karma

[true folio]

Ah see okay

[sinful compass]

guys i hit 1680

should i get new accesories now?

or keep the event express ones

[azure isle]

get free ancients from waymark

if you bought express take those accessories, slap them on and lock them in

they'll be used for a while

[sinful compass]

theres no accs in waymark?

[azure isle]

there are

[strange viper]

accessories are expensive, just use what you have now assuming you got ancients and try to get better ones for free from paradise (heavy rng, but so is everything else)

[sinful compass]

nmope, the relic ones

[azure isle]

the chest habibi

[sinful compass]

oh i see

https://klipy.com/gifs/anime-girl-639--k01KQF81MG77J0ZTVE58Y44PP6M

[azure isle]

if you bought express

ignore that

theyre better

[sinful compass]

nope

ill have to get those

[azure isle]

can you show me the necklace from the chest

[strange viper]

I think this is something you get from the waymark, no? its one of my rats. ignore one of the rings.

[sinful compass]

whats the point of this?

like it just makes it bound?

[candid lake]

makes it bound + you can make it a cd/dmg gem

while it's tuned

[strange viper]

makes it bound, and you can freely swap the skill without any cost.

[sinful compass]

ooooh i see

[candid lake]

doesnt matter the original gem type

[azure isle]

those are gold shop accessories

no?

[candid lake]

but if you bind it, you cant unbund it for 15 days

tune*

[strange viper]

it might be. im not sure

[candid lake]

it is

[azure isle]

the lines match

[candid lake]

waymark ones are mids

[strange viper]

i ahve too many rats

either is fine tbh.. at least until you get better ones from paradise or can afford to buy them from AH

[sinful compass]

where fdan i like sell my gear

cuz i cant dismantle it

[minor briar]

potion merchant

[sinful compass]

thank u

do anyone do slolakia solo?

[strange viper]

I do all guardians solo

[glossy swallow]

While trying to get good ability stones, like 9/7, does it matter if i press auto/ manually, or auto is scamming?

[strange viper]

In 4 years of playing lost ark, I got two 9/7s or similar before the auto cuttin update, I have now 8 characters with 9/7 or better thanks to the auto.. but obviously its all rng. in my experience it works wonders tho.

[sinful compass]

tf

[glossy swallow]

all i needed to know if auto cutting had some hidden "you can't get above x"

[strange viper]

it saves huge amount of time per day to just go solo instead of looking for lobby or potentially getting matched with bots in mm.

[strange viper]

What do you mean cant get above x? there doesnt seem to be any limits.. but who knows

[tender flicker]

I think I remember some post saying that manually cutting was marginally better, but I wouldn’t bother personally

There shouldn’t be a hard limit to what auto cutting can get

[frail prawn]

quick question about astrogems: what do u do with your green / blue rarity ones? you dismantle or you still try to refine them? you fuse them?

[dim pulsar]

depen on willpower, i try to cut my rares, i cut only 8wp greens

greens are the FOMO mode if u have gold

[frail prawn]

and if i don't have gold? i just dismantle?

[dim pulsar]

dont, u keep them or fuse

[tender flicker]

Ballpark something like this, but I'd only reset purples

[frail prawn]

so stability / corrosion ones are the best since they give more base willpower?

[dim pulsar]

the other way, u want to have as LOW as possible usage of willpower

[tender flicker]

They're the best to start with, solidity/distortion are good after you have your basic 17+ setup and want to start min maxxing

Since they can have better side nodes

[frail prawn]

i mean they start at 8 and u wanna roll 5 to get only 3 ?

[dim pulsar]

yep

[frail prawn]

what about order points? they matter or i shouldnt focus on that yet?

[dim pulsar]

u HAVE to get willpower 5 AND Chaos points 5

[tender flicker]

yellow/red are both important

[frail prawn]

holy

[tender flicker]

ye

[dim pulsar]

thats what u focus on both, Order and Chaos cores

[frail prawn]

ok red and yellow good

[dim pulsar]

u want to get 17p (points are the CHAOS POINTS)

[frail prawn]

alright thanks

sounds awful

[dim pulsar]

and if u try to cut rare gems, try not to tap it fully if u dont have ANY willpower/chaos at 3 or higher if ur left with 2taps to end

[frail prawn]

and the little reroll button, it's to reroll the last roll or completely reset?

[frail prawn]

ok so the charge is to reroll the rolling options

[tender flicker]

yeah, higher rarity gems inherently have more rerolls

[dim pulsar]

like if ur at that point with 2 taps left, just dont waste ur gold and complete that gem

[frail prawn]

and use that gem on a fusion to maybe get something better?

[dim pulsar]

u can

but its like 99% to be trash

[frail prawn]

yea i noticed that

[tender flicker]

I'd save the resets for 8wp purples. Note it keeps the side nodes, so if you're dps its extra value if you say have atk pwr + add dmg

[frail prawn]

alr i'll do that now

last thing; i got astrogem selection chests, like i could choose between solidity, immutability and stability: is there a point picking one over stability?? or is it just a noob trap

[dim pulsar]

if u start u pick 8wp

if u will be at this points u can start minmax with other types of gemmies

[frail prawn]

cause i only have leg cores that can't hold that much wp?

[tender flicker]

Different side nodes, higher wp are harder to cut into something usable but can be a choice when min maxxing side nodes

[dim pulsar]

try to get 14p, later u will unlock 17p with relics

[tender flicker]

You still wanna go stability to start though

[frail prawn]

understood, all my gold shall now be wasted on astrogem rerolls

after i reach 1710..

[dim pulsar]

the ASStrogems

[faint cedar]

Legendary cores require a 3/5 4/4 and 5/5 to hit the 14p

Or some combination of that

There’s a few ark grid optimization sites out there

[tall wren]

Is it possible to get one of these cards from some achievement or something?

I only need 1 card

[dim pulsar]

nope, no achiev cards for them

[tall wren]

Just one card

[untold elbow]

what is wealth? silver?

[balmy plank]

Every chest gives you a little bit of honing mats too. Wealth gives you a bunch more of those honing mats

[silver bronze]

Did u put 2 green stability and 1 blue or 2 blue and 1 green stability?

for astrogem fusing this is

[rose jewel]

Is stability 8 cost? I cut those

[silver bronze]

green ones?

[rose jewel]

All of them

It costs a lot more but it may help you reach 14/17 much faster

Green 9s is questionable but it's still doable, blues 100% cut, green 10s to the trash

[light dawn]

is there any point in taking the right option on a dps?

[rose jewel]

THAT IS WHAT I PERSONALLY DO

[rose jewel]

No, dead line

[balmy plank]

No

[light dawn]

[balmy plank]

An extremely minor line on the left vs a completely useless one on the right

[bold geyser]

i believe the way is 2x green 8s, 1x blue 10, and so on

[lucid axle]

does the 1730+ hell keys give the option for the lower t4 destruction/guardian stones or only the new ones?

[tender flicker]

New 1730 hellkeys will only give the new mats

You’d need a pre-patch key for the old mats

[lucid axle]

thx

[vast oriole]

and thats why you needed to go full +20 before patch xDD

[lucid axle]

im 100k reds from fully pitying 25

trying to figure out ways i can get more without buying from ah

[vast oriole]

ah

XD

[lucid axle]

[vast oriole]

buy loot from raids

i guess

do old chaos?

[lucid axle]

yeah been doing those 2 and exchanging boss mats for chance of reds

other then that i dont think theres anything else

[candid lake]

doing old raids on solo

and buying boxes

alothugh idk if it's efficient

[lucid axle]

maybe

better then AH at least

[candid lake]

this is just destruction value at

530 gold

[lucid axle]

almost 600g for reds on AH

i see avg day price at 534 but i swear everytime i look its always at least 550+

[candid lake]

aegir and brel are worth at current prices

but not mordum solo

5200 from doing aegir and brel and buying boxes

if u clear mordum w/o buyinmg boxes on solo, it gives 1240

plus u can turn the brel pots and aegir thingies into the boxes

[cunning haven]

Hello, im unable to check right now, but are Striker’s Order Cores 1-6 (Sun, Moon, Star) the same as Breaker’s, since both are martial artists?

[candid lake]

wym ?

like

which ones you use?

no

[cunning haven]

Nono not the ones i use but

The options available

For example, does
breaker's Sun Core (1) == striker's Sun Core (1)?

[vast oriole]

No

[cunning haven]

Ohhhhhhhh okay thank you!!

[vast oriole]

Nit sure what you mean

[lucid axle]

yeah ig thats pretty decent ill probably do that ty

[vast oriole]

But every class has 6 order sun cores, 6 order moon cores etc

And for the one that you need to take will be in the nexus guide or maxroll if nexus isnt updated

[tender flicker]

Order cores are unique to the class, some may share similarities but I wouldn't expect any to be the same across classes

[vast oriole]

Order are unique to the class while chaos are general

[lucid axle]

btw how do i access stronghold quests i cant seem to find them in the quest journal

[vast oriole]

Breaker and striker are not even similar playstyle wise so cores wont be similar

[cunning haven]

I see i confused myself a bit cus for a sec i was thinking breaker == striker since theyre both male martial artists

[vast oriole]

Yeah no very very different classes

Breaker is the gender unlock of scrapper while striker is gender unlock of wardancer

[rose jewel]

It's spec dependant, in the sense of 112 could mean 556 because 112 are for the spec you ain't using

I believe that was what he was trying to ask, not sure

Sorry 445*

[vast oriole]

Not sure

[austere steeple]

what is the best stone for breaker asura ?
adrenaline and grudge
or
adrenaline and master brawler ?

[rose jewel]

Almost irrelevant, damage difference is minimal, if you want the very best like no one ever was there is either a table for bis around here or ask in the class ch

My opinion, don't bother and grab 2 of the engraves you use and call it a day

[tender flicker]

I'd consider a stone that both specs can use, but as Signum said pretty marginal difference

[vast oriole]

personally i would choose 2 engravings that are used by both specs (asura and bk)

so if you want to switch, its easier

eric faster gg

[rose jewel]

Yeah I kinda missed that

[austere steeple]

well being man breaker asura so its same build same everything i just little bit not sure about which one do i go

[rose jewel]

Any

Grudge X and fuck it

[vast oriole]

ask in breaker channel if you really want minmax

[austere steeple]

i dont think so i would ever play bk tbh

[vast oriole]

grab role in id:customize

[tender flicker]

If you wanna min max, check the class discord channel. Someone's probably asked the same question before and they'd know better.

[rose jewel]

Discord or channel

[austere steeple]

ah ty

[lucid axle]

is there a predictable way for meter gen in paradise?

i notice sometimes when i first hit the boss i insta fill guage but sometimes it only does half

[bold geyser]

any particular kind of rng or literally "we have no idea how it works" rng?

[inner shell]

Hey guys, what is this option? If I do a dungeon in an alt, even the character bound gold will be given to the selected character?

[lavish mortar]

Just means its one of your 6 gold earner characters for the week

[whole cypress]

Okay

Did they remove elixir and transcendence?

I don't see them on my characters anymore

[lavish mortar]

Yes

[whole cypress]

Holy shit

All the gold

[lavish mortar]

Theyre integrated into base stats + ark passive now.

[whole cypress]

Just wasted

[lavish mortar]

But also no more new character pain

[whole cypress]

Yeah Ig

[minor igloo]

thats like saying honing from to 1580 when akkan dropped is wasted gold since we can zoom to 1580 with silver now

times change

[rose wren]

life length/whatever is different before it happen

[rose jewel]

im not gonna use any gold ever because the game will go EoS in the far future anyway, lost ark2 announcement and maybe

[sinful compass]

where should i find thirain

theres nothing on the map

[livid fossil]

Vesper

[rose jewel]

a single cut pic wont tell us much

never cut screenshots

show your entire screen, or at the very least the full J window

There is no Act4 solo dungeon ?

nope

a4 onwards is group only, maybe solo some day in the future

[somber steeple]

guys who should i upgrade or work on? i have around 1 million roster bound gold, got ark grid done in main and in the soulfist i got 2 17p cores, rest dont have any ark grid done or core boxes bought, i can also hone if needed too

[rose wren]

whatever u enjoy

[somber steeple]

i enjoy all 6

thats why i ask

what would be the most worth it?

[lavish mortar]

Either hone all to 1710 to get more ark grid done on the lowbies, or work on 1 char at a time to 1720 ig

Kinda depends if you wanna have fewer stronger characters, or more weaker ones, in the short term

You could also push main to 1730 to learn hm kaz+serca

[rose wren]

whichever fashion u prefer

[somber steeple]

i see

thank

[molten grove]

push the 1720 to 1730 and push to 3.5kcp then work on hm kaz and serca. will cost u more than a mill but thats the progression path that makes the most sense imo

[amber grove]

I cannot find the crafting workshop lvl 5 research so I am guessing its not available?

[graceful garnet]

how do i beat kazeros overture

help pls

[rose wren]

u went and adjusted the filter search in research?

[rose wren]

follow deathobi youtube solo guide tho bit outdate, just really some mech missing since they nerf them or like maxroll text guide

[amber grove]

yup

[tender flicker]

What level is your stronghold? Think it needs a minimum level to research.

[candid lake]

under research

go to unavailable research

and find the thingy

[neon rivet]

How much difference of il i stop gaining gold from raids?

[tender flicker]

ilvl diff? That only applies to low lvl raids like t3, I wouldn't sweat it since you'll have access to higher raids

[neon rivet]

Yes i was aiming for staying on 1680 for a while

But i guess i will have to up for it anyway

[candid lake]

does anyone know what books the next abyss will give

from the exchange npc

[median gorge]

stabilized status is swap with which skill for hw run?

[shadow pasture]

Depends on your class

If you can upkeep the stabilized status just keep it for every raid except maybe serca if you suck at prediction

[median gorge]

can it replace CD?

or grudge?

KBW?

[paper walrus]

never replace grudge

[balmy plank]

Cursed doll. I was recommended MP efficiency(?) if you use mp

[paper walrus]

it can replace cd, but if its hw you shouldnt need to think about swapping anyway

[balmy plank]

Im thinking the other way. Using SS and replacing it because serca takes your hp

[median gorge]

aight

thanks guys

[inland pebble]

does anyone have the accessory stat table by refinement? like Refine Lv.1 ring max = x, Lv.2 = y, Lv.3 = z...

Trying to check the stats on these 2 line rings to see if they are good or not

This one?

[inland pebble]

yes ty

[olive saddle]

Hi I’m 1695 and my friend is new and he’s 1585 I was wondering what’s everything we can do together

[minor igloo]

The gap is pretty wide. You prob won't do raids together until he reaches 1640+. Though more realistically, lobbies show up for aegir and up. Behemoth and echidna lobbies are on the rarer side

[median gorge]

is there a astrogem cutting guide?

[olive saddle]

He’s at 1585 what’s the road map for him to hit 1640

[tender flicker]

Manually hone up to 1620 and transfer gear to get to 1640, or just use the 1640 powerpass (can be on an entirely new character if they want)

Its a bit of a slog go 1585-1620, especially if they don't have a character in T4 to help them out with T3 research and the ability to gain resources otherwise

[minor briar]

johnpal loa dojo has two vids

maxroll has written but idt there’s techs

[minor briar]

powerpass

[olive saddle]

Is there a pass he can use right now on his 1585? Is it free

[tender flicker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9a-FPHBhSc has some decent info as well

[minor briar]

yes

it’s out still

[tender flicker]

There is a 1640 pass atm unless they already used it

[bold geyser]

you could use it on a fresh character to have two chars

[tender flicker]

They can use it on a fresh character if they want

[olive saddle]

Ok thanks

After using my trade skills logging do I sell the mats or make hone mats with it can sell it?

[bold geyser]

calculator angle

usually at least marginally profitable to craft fusions

[tender flicker]

https://loa-buddy.pages.dev/crafting Adjust to your region and stronghold bonuses

[olive saddle]

So see how many I craft?

[bold geyser]

you see how many mats and how much money go in

and how much you stand to make from the output

[minor briar]

it’s always profit when crafting, just how much

[olive saddle]

So either way it’s profit?

[minor briar]

usually yes, unless the market is bricked

[olive saddle]

Question let’s say in theory my buddy his 1640 thru the power pass I’m 1696 what’s all the activities I can do with him?

[minor briar]

the express is still out bro to get ur friend to where ur at rn

[tender flicker]

Fusions are high atm, so likely profit but can't promise it'll always be good, especially if you don't have outfits/structures

[minor igloo]

If he's flat 1640, with the current raid activity, at best behemoth. Other than that, he just has to hone up.

[minor briar]

and higher, assuming ur using it too which u should be which is why i’m confused

that u just forgot what u did to get to ur current ilvl

[olive saddle]

I haven’t played in a year I’m still learning

[minor igloo]

Echidna/Behemoth 1640
Aegir NM 1660
Brel NM 1670
Mordum NM/Aegir HM 1680
Brel HM 1690

[olive saddle]

That’s his roadmap?

[minor briar]

express event still works the same as every time

no, u two can skip to like 1680

with express

[minor igloo]

That's just the ilvls for the raids in tier4 within your own ilvl bracket

[olive saddle]

What activities do I have access to if I manage to hit 1700

[minor briar]

don’t need to bother with 1640 raids

[tender flicker]

If they're new they're probably not hitting 1680 right away without some help

[minor briar]

act 4 nm

hm act 3

[minor igloo]

Mordum HM/Armoche NM

[olive saddle]

Yes he’s super new

[tender flicker]

they'll get bottlenecked on like shards/leaps/reds/gold at some point on the way

probably at least

[minor briar]

haven’t seen a zero to hero for this express but there should be one on itsdefild yt

goes thru express as a new account or smth

[tender flicker]

this express felt a bit lighter than the last, least for me

[olive saddle]

Thanks

For my SS how can I go about getting a new bracelet?

All is ancient but my bracelet is relic

[minor briar]

bound gold shop

[olive saddle]

Also what’s my best way getting the best out of my strong hold?

[minor briar]

the exit button top left

lol

or open map and tp if ur not at sea

[tender flicker]

Options for bracelets - gold shop, paradise/hell (where most people get their bracelets from), cutting what you drop (low quantity of usable here), can get some random from solo shop/event shops, paid express

But the threshold to at least replace your relic is gonna be low since you want the extra leap points

[sudden adder]

I was going hard with honing and now im at 20k silver, are there ways to actively grind silver?

[bold geyser]

?silver

[buoyant dock]

Silver Sources

You can earn silver on any number of characters on your Roster.

• Daily: Chaos Dungeons (run with alts too).
• Fate Ember: As a random drop from Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids there is a chance for varying Silver amounts to be rewarded.
• Quests: Leveling to 70/ilvl1640.
• Express Events/Growth Systems: Silver chests awarded via boost events.
• Rapport: Many rewards from NPC Rapport include Coins that can be consumed for some Silver.
• Cube: You will receive Silver as a reward for completing any Ebony Cube.
• Adventure Islands: These happen at various times throughout the week. Keep an eye on your Procyon Compass (top left of screen, blue icon) to see what is available.
• Event Vendors: When these are active they will offer chests with Silver in exchange for the event currency.
• Masterpiece
• Crucible: One time reward per level
• Sea Bounty: Single time collection awards.
• Sylmael Bloodstone: If you are in a guild you can use the Bloodstone Currency in exchange for some Silver chests.
• Gold to Silver Exchange: You can exchange certain amounts of Gold for Silver. (Not Recommended)
• Amethyst Exchange: You can exchange the limited Amethyst currency for Silver. (Not Recommended)

[bold geyser]

not really

but you get a little bit from a lot of th ings

[faint cedar]

1580+ alts doing paradise weekly and opening cube ticket chests

Outside of Kurzan that’s where a majority of mine comes from

[minor igloo]

1580, nice try guy

[faint cedar]

Oh yeah

Rip

[sudden adder]

I have one char 1700+ and working my second to 1680 hence why im out of silver xd

[median gorge]

do you cut green astrogem?

[faint roost]

Are relic engraving from event tradeable

[tender flicker]

like the random ones from the shadow event shop? Yeah.

Up to you if you wanna cut greens. Sometimes if I have a bunch of them I'll open like 10, cherry pick the ones that have good starting options and see if I can get lucky. But thats pretty much for a starter astrogem, odds are they won't have good side nodes compared to blues/purples.

[median gorge]

if i want to target 17p?

[lucid axle]

if u wanna hit asap u cut every gem but the odds itll be any faster then fusing to tap for silver or waiting on blues and purples probably isnt that much

and wastes a bunch more gold

it’s up to u where u want to spend ur gold

typically i just wait and fuse my greens for roster bound ones and use those but some ppl also just sell greens and say they aren’t worth trying

[inland pebble]

if you have a lot of greens but don't have blues/purples, and want to get your core bonuses unlocked faster, it's an option; but you are spending extra gold to basically try to go faster. it's viable, but it will take a bit more of them due to the lower chance of a good gem.

If you have a large amount of greens, another option is opening them and checking the starting screen for the gems; if they have good starting options (+2-4 of stats you want), you can try tapping once and see if you land on a good start, and then it will be quite worthwhile, if not, can just end processing and move onto another

[glossy swallow]

Duo chopping trees gives more loot, or is just faster?

[dim pulsar]

just faster

I heard the opposite

I heard front attack build is much easier besides the fact you want to be in front (easier rotation, tankier)
hit master build can stand anywhere but it's a more complicated rotation

but trust the experts

[dim pulsar]

well i will NEVER recommend frontal to new player

and hm isnt that hard to learn

surely sorc would be easier or ayaya drizzle

[inland pebble]

of course there are easier builds/classes, but the comparison was gk

[sinful compass]

can i change the way my character looks later on?

like hair and stuff

[dim pulsar]

yeah

but u need $$$ to do that

[sinful compass]

i knew there was a catch

[amber grove]

I did but it wasn't there

I am talking about not finding this research in the lab

[dim pulsar]

u need higher lvl of stronghold

[amber grove]

adv honing 21-40 is hell

[dim pulsar]

it isnt, it was hell WITHOUT scrolls

[amber grove]

well I can barely get any scrolls

how does this calculate juice

[dim pulsar]

6 orbs = USE JUICE

[amber grove]

yeah okay that makes sense

[dim pulsar]

unless u pick FULL MATS

[amber grove]

what about scrolls

[dim pulsar]

so it will "try" to avg with FULL juice on all taps

[amber grove]

I already don't have enough juice

[dim pulsar]

ofc u want to FULL JUICE 6orbs

if u cant, then wait

unless ur near lvl30/40

[amber grove]

yeah ofc I wouldn't do 6orbs without juice

gotta pray for juice in next hell chests

is serca gear at 1730?

[balmy plank]

Yes

[amber grove]

and lvl 40 adv honing right?

[balmy plank]

+20 & adv honing 40 (1730) is required to gear transfer

[amber grove]

how long on average does it take to go from 1700 to 1730?

[balmy plank]

Its rng

Depends on how lucky you are, how much youre grinding & how much resources you already have

[dim pulsar]

can be 800k gold or 4m gold if ur unlucko

add mats to that too

[tender flicker]

It’s uh not a quick push. Look to get to 1710 and gearing up a bit for access to all the relevant normal raids first as your goal first.

[tall wren]

What are all the sources of card packs we can get weekly?

[minor briar]

how do i do guarndians with friendsa?

i made a group and invited my bf but when i start guard only i enter

nvm

i did it!

[whole cypress]

I took a break before ark grid and I'm now starting to get back into the game. I wanted to know if there is any importance to type of core (I don't mean the sun/moon/star type, but their sub-type like apex, manifest, w/e)? I tried looking at the class guides of my main classes but they only list the order of importance of the core, not anything else.

If it matters I play Guardianknight, Valk, and SE.

[tender flicker]

Yes, definitely important

[rose jewel]

Nexus guides usually tell you, if for some reason they don't you can ask in the class ch

[tender flicker]

Defines the play style, skill choices, etc

[rose jewel]

And yes they are very important

[whole cypress]

Looked through the community guides

Maybe that's why I didn't see anything about it.

Okay nexus is more specific thanks

[rose jewel]

Those are the nexus ones

Old ones are a bit outdated tho (Google doc)

Not every class has an updated nexus guide done

[tender flicker]

They usually recommend the more popular/stronger build(s) rather than going into all of them

[whole cypress]

By com guides I mean the pinned ones here

That's what they got me for example.

[rose jewel]

Yeah, docs

[whole cypress]

I went to the nexus site and they gave me what I needed

So yeah I'm good now

[rose jewel]

Same thing, bit outdated, same people made it

They just moved to the nice viewing site now, but again not all classes have it

[tender flicker]

If you’re 1700+, you can test cores in trixion to see what set you wanna aim for

[whole cypress]

1700 on my valk

[tender flicker]

Dps has some choices, though the popular build keeps the play style much the same. Support doesn’t significantly change other than more meter gen and stagger.

[rose jewel]

2x meter gen skill

Quite a nice qol thing

[faint cedar]

Most importantly doing ur ark grid gives you big cp gains

[glossy swallow]

How do i check my paradise rank?

Like, i just got top 8% on paladin, (like 1 minute ago), but when i want to look for my rank, it says top 36%.

I would like to know where i can check it, so i can decide where to use weekly roster bound entrances from world bosses, maybe i can get to higher reward tier on someone,

[tender flicker]

Paradise rank is updated periodically...I forget exactly how often. Top 100 is updated in real time.

[glossy swallow]

so basically to check out my rank i have to beat my previous time,

cool

[tender flicker]

I keep paradise on my character's task trackers

[dim pulsar]

well, if u want to check it after clear in like 15min yeah, after 1h+ it will be updated

[glossy swallow]

Alright, seems fine enough

[dim pulsar]

btw u can check it here, if u add paradise here

[tender flicker]

makes it easier to check on rankings without having to swap and stuff

[tender flicker]

Are artis competetive or not updated yet? Most of my chars can hit top 10% with 10m

[dim pulsar]

well

thats top100 spots

i can get to top10% thats sure

[bold geyser]

is that delayed like the main screen?

[dim pulsar]

ya

[bold geyser]

figured

still, good looks, will make it easier for end of week checks 😄

[dim pulsar]

i cant rank with this shit tho

[bold geyser]

less than a 5th of a second

like a blink

[dim pulsar]

ya, when 14:40 is the Top100 that 188ms is Top100 vs Top10%

[bold geyser]

yeah thats no good

[dim pulsar]

add that to every skill u use and ur on 17s

aaaaand there is also server side shit soo yeah

what u see vs what server see is another story

[bold geyser]

i have twice the ping and 1/3 the fps of my buddy in rocket league, def doens't help

i haven't updated my char-status page in a minute lets see what other useful stuff i'm clueless about 😄

[dim pulsar]

like if i would hold in top100 i would need to get 13:30/13:50 times, thats not even possible with 10m power

cuz this ass boss jumps from attacks randomly

[glossy swallow]

if game shows me +10% ( up to 10%) it shows that i have 10 and up to 10 works, or it shows "how much works, because that is the cap" and it doesn't shows overcapped?

[dim pulsar]

u cant get more than 10%

[glossy swallow]

Yeah, but if i would have more , it would show "+12% (up to 10%)" so i know i overcapped, or

[dim pulsar]

nope, wont show, its capped at 10%

even if u can activate 11% it will be 10% usable (u loose that 1%)

[glossy swallow]

So i have to manually go through everything, pets outfits and structures, to see if i'm not overloaded there?

[bold geyser]

it really should show the other way around, but no i think you'd have to count everything

[glossy swallow]

If i recall, if you equip-unequip wardrope or outfit, it has time lock before you can do it again, so i can't just like swap and check,

[bold geyser]

yeah just manually counting without swapping everything 😄

[rose wren]

r u sure? have u achieve above?

[glossy swallow]

so i'm wasting my free time digging through year old reddid thread looking for inspirations, and

this is true, or just random reddit message without answer left to haunt anyone who will see it

[tender flicker]

great success kinda sucks

get as much -cost as you can

by kinda I mean really

[glossy swallow]

I mean each great success gives me around 1800 gold

[tender flicker]

I mean, -cost is a guaranteed thing, if you stack up great success you have a small percentage chance of it hitting better

[vast oriole]

this is true

so its not great to stock on great success

[glossy swallow]

Time to rework my manor in that case

[tender flicker]

say 10% great success, from 5-->5.5. 0.5% chance to double is like -1% cost.

ballparking

[glossy swallow]

then "crafting great success" without any {} is "base value", and 1% = 1%?

Anyway if that's the case i can get probably 4% craft cost reduction instead of that 0.5% great success, which at those numbers really makes it no brainer,

[tender flicker]

my brain is too tech illiterate to interpret these {}s, base great success is 5%, any bonus on top of that multiplies off that 5% so 1% great success = 5x1.01

[glossy swallow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/941384512510754836/1178644424822104107/IMG_5799.gif

so basically.

i have 5% chance for great success as base.
then it get's x 1.05 from this

[vast oriole]

max is 17% -crafting cost btw

[glossy swallow]

and x 1.1 from this

and it ends up in less than 6% still, i understand it correctly?

[tender flicker]

should be, yeah

[glossy swallow]

Alright i can get at least 12% crafting reduction with what i have here in that case
great success be damned

[steel wadi]

When does TFM for Kazeros end ?

[mellow mauve]

13th

[tender flicker]

2 weeks or so ballpark far as I recall

[normal rivet]

whats the meta now for the Manor bonuses? I just completed the Nukman collectible and the glass is now better than the card-flipping?

im guessing outfit remains this one ?

[tender flicker]

It would have to let you fit in more than 2% generic crafting cost since you're already capped in special crafting cost

[normal rivet]

oh true its capped

ig card-flipping remains then

[wet tide]

i want to start a new character after im done lvling deathblade.
I dont like how i have literally 0 dmg while my spells are on cooldowns and most of them over 10seconds and also dont like some of my core spells
(im not yet done with the main story and dont have ark passive upgraded, gems, etc so idk if this gets more managable later on)

What are classes would you recommend that are played more around spamming less powerful abilities more often and have more high apm feel?

[tender flicker]

Deathblade is a class that feels pretty bad until you have enough specialization and wealth runes, its kinda rough going until you get that setup

at least the more popular build has pretty much constant uptime if played with the right setup and hitting your abilities

[mellow mauve]

you just need to finish the leveling phase of the game

almost all the classes are gonna feel bad at that point

[wet tide]

yeah i kind of figured that i got a few skillpoints in my ark passives and improved feel a lot but still takes a while to charge my surge, etc.

[mellow mauve]

You won't get a true feel for a class till you're at ark passive and full enlightenment tree

[tender flicker]

endgame blade measures their gameplay in like 10+ surges/minute

If you specifically want higher apm classes, then it would be stuff like arcana, reaper, deathblade, control glaive, windfury aero, maybe some wardancers/soulfists, reflux sorc

That said, higher apm is often harder to play, so stuff like arcana, reaper, deathblade, soulfist may not be the best fit for newer players

[wet tide]

tyvm. i will probably pick whichever looks coolest xd

[tender flicker]

If you're gonna pass and express a character, take a minute to see what their gameplay looks like since free passes and expresses are generally a few months apart from each other

[wet tide]

yeah, when i played the game for the first time I didnt take advantage of the "try it out" option but I intend to this time haha

btw do we know when passes will come out?

[tender flicker]

Preferably some videos if you can, the try out option isn't the best representation of how the class actually plays

[rose wren]

y u mention deathblade as an option? lol, arent aero or that other class too an option?

[tender flicker]

We have a pass currently, next pass is planned for June but we'll see since they pushed it back to June for the May merge (now delayed)

I just threw out high apm stuff including windfury, the deathblade talk is mostly because they already picked a deathblade

[bold geyser]

are field bosses all-or-nothing re: the loot you get? feel like i got fewer gems etc than usual and dunno if i'm imaginging it or i just did pisspoor damage and got low reward

[dim pulsar]

u got shafted by rng

[bold geyser]

rng is rng if its nothing i did wrong i'll deal 😄

[dim pulsar]

+- i get 2x lvl3 and some lvl1s or 2

[bold geyser]

(i was on autopilot and boss got absolutely melted so i didn't get a tempest off)

so the rewards dont scale at all?

[dim pulsar]

not rly

u get new T4.5 at 1730 thats all

[bold geyser]

yaya i just meant lousy damage -> partial reward

[dim pulsar]

not enough dmg = no loot

[sudden adder]

Does the indigo island dungeon only work once or what?

[dim pulsar]

wdym, its daily reset

or weekly dont remember

[sudden adder]

Ah okay, so I have to come back here daily

could not see or find how it worked, trying to get the island soul

[sudden adder]

yeah but I did the dungeon, and then it poofed

didnt say it comes back daily or so

[dim pulsar]

gotta come back again and again and again untill it drops

[sudden adder]

I reset the island and stuff, didnt know it had a daily cd

thank you

[clever berry]

Hello everyone, I’m having an issue with the game. I just downloaded it on Steam, and when I launch it, Easy Anti-Cheat opens and starts loading, but after that the game closes automatically without any error message. Please help

[balmy plank]

I would try killing steam/lost ark/eac in task manager and trying again

[clever berry]

it didnt work , i also restarted my pc

[wet tide]

Should i bother honing t3 items while leveling or just wait till i complete the story and hone t4?

[rose jewel]

You have to hone to get to t4, you can't skip it unless you powerpass, so it's not even a question

[vast oriole]

tried repairing eac files?

[rose jewel]

If you got the dll file pic send it, I'm busy :c

So he knows what to delete

[vast oriole]

that?

[rose jewel]

Delete the file shown in this pic (last part) on the folder also mentioned there, restart PC then try again

Ty arna

[clever berry]

[frigid sorrel]

i have a question. Is racism allowed in the game now?
recently saw a player insulting because some people in the group didn't speak English, and it seemed like he was using third-party software to cause trouble. 🤔

[vast oriole]

you can always report the person for racism

but usually ags doesnt act on the meter question

(if you meant that by third-party software)

let me guess, it was against someone from vaigrys

[rose wren]

SG doesnt allow using meter to flame others

[frigid sorrel]

He was saying that a certain group wasn't doing damage, and he was complaining that they didn't speak English, telling them to go to school, and saying other, even more offensive things.

[rose wren]

rules also outline player should not prohibit them from playing the game

[vast oriole]

yes sg, but not ags

[vast oriole]

then yeah, can try to contact support and report that person with screenshots

what is the % of lucky room in cube?

[minor igloo]

50/50, either you get it or you dont

[bold geyser]

10%ish?

else i'm thinking of the lucky room event

[lucid axle]

is fire18 better then los30 for act 4?

[lavish mortar]

assuming support has fire set 24+ yes

If not los is equal or slightly better

[bold geyser]

lost my old sheet in my tabpocalypse, los+lwc is 17.5%, sfb18 is 17%, sfb18+FWP18 is 18% can't math

(i think)

[lucid axle]

[vast oriole]

only g2 btw

[lucid axle]

ye

[jaunty iron]

I tracked this when I was doing T3 cube tickets.
About 1,500 T3 cubes, I had about 20% chance to see a lucky room, and a 1% chance to get the mega lucky room.
I assume T4 cubes are probably the same rates.

[bold geyser]

found this old chart for brel, cannot confirm the math but if its accurate you should be able to swap everything for the fire equiv

[lavish mortar]

18.5 for los lwc

[bold geyser]

you right

so yeah that math works out on the chart

so fire 18 by itself is 17%, fire18+sup18 is 18.17%, unless i'm tripping the chart is wrong on YHAP tho

(i may be tripping)

should only add 1.5% yeah?

so STB18+YHAP30 = 18.755%?

[lucid axle]

yeah kk thx

that works

[hot dock]

does anyone know what continents had prereq quests besides elgacia? i think voldis had it too, anything else?

[rose wren]

svern

anything else im tryin to find on yt

[candid lake]

fire 18 should be 1.101.071.015 or w/e yhap is

1.10 x 1.07 x 1.015

is 19.46%

[hot dock]

is there an active twitch drop rn?

[faint roost]

is there a guide on priority on which artifacts to restore first, given each one is now 20%

for paradise

[tender flicker]

Idk if there is a strict order, but I did 100% crit rate, defence ignore, all 12, then probably 30% crit dmg next. Could vary with class as some have more built in crit dmg. But after 12 a lot of the artifacts are generic/the same.

[faint roost]

thanks

[faint roost]

So really first priority is all 12, the do however after that?

[gray verge]

tl;dr focus on cd reduction and incense first, then weapon power breakpoints.
All level 9 before going above so you’re using resonance on all pieces.
Then incense to 12/15 before any other

Incense/Cup first for 12
Then:
Bell/Mirror if you have high base crit rate.
or
Mask/Whistle if you have low base crit but high base damage.

Everything after all 12 and censer 15 is just whatever taps.

[cunning haven]

Hello, what is the exact damage taken penalty for weapon ilvl exceeding armor ilvl? Should my weapon always match my armor ilvl exactly, or can it be X ilvls higher with no penalty? If so, what is X?

[lavish mortar]

Just dont overhone weapon until youre at min ilvl for raid

But it isn't a big amount of dmg imo

[cunning haven]

Ohh ok so as long as my armor is at least the raid ilvl, i shud be ok right

[shadow pasture]

ye

[lethal knoll]

Probably a mixed bag of answers to this one but honestly, can I get away with playing 1-2 characters now instead of hitting my chore list on like 11 of them?

[balmy plank]

Yes, you can. Smilegate has been slowly moving away from funneling mats and stuff. The mats you get from daily chaos dungeon are char bound now for example

Gold is the only real thing you can farm on alts to use on main these days. With the help of progression events you dont really need alts though

[faint roost]

Whats the chance of getting the leg tool in lifeskill pouch? I’ve opend 100 foraging today, and didnt get.

[tender flicker]

Not great, I wouldn't really rely on pouches if you need legendary tools

I'd probably buy some from the market long as they're reasonably priced and craft until you hit something decent

[faint roost]

I dont really need it per se, but just thought id get 1 or 2 from
200

I mean 100

[tender flicker]

I mean, if you've done enough foraging to get 100 bags, it would have been worth to buy and craft a decent one

[gray verge]

higher rate the higher your level is

[tender flicker]

unless yours is already decent

My Steam account was hacked. The hacker used it to make purchases in Lost Ark, triggering an automatic “Commerce Issues: Fraud Detected” ban. I had Steam Guard enabled and immediately recovered the account through official Steam Support. I submitted a penalty appeal with details and evidence, but it was denied with: “We reviewed the information… automatic ban for Commerce Issues: Fraud Detected was merited.” They suggested providing more evidence but gave no way to do so. This matches the situation described in your official “Account Hacked” article, which says to appeal hacked cases. I have full evidence (Steam recovery tickets, timeline, Steam Guard confirmation) and am happy to provide it. I have never played Lost Ark and only want the game ban removed from my Steam profile.

Can a support rep or mod please escalate this for manual review? Thank you.

Even if you go to the official discord. They don't give special treatment and manually review someone

You get 1 appeal on the website. Appeal with all your evidence there

I already used my one appeal on the website with all available evidence (Steam Guard confirmation, Steam recovery tickets, timeline, etc.). It was denied with the message: “We reviewed the information you provided on appeal and have confirmed that automatic ban for Commerce Issues: Fraud Detected was merited. We understand this may not be the result you hoped… please provide further evidence…”

They claimed a careful review but the response feels automated, and there was no way to actually submit the additional evidence they requested. This matches the official “Account Hacked” guidance, which says to appeal these cases.

I’ve never played Lost Ark. The hacker did this on my recovered account, and I only want the game ban removed from my Steam profile. Is there any way to submit the evidence for a proper manual review or escalate this?

No personal experience, but this is probably between asking support vs being out of luck

[balmy plank]

Delete means delete. There is no restore

[tall wren]

Is it still possible to complete these?

[dim pulsar]

well we did it as game progressed, these might be auto done with powerpass so ...

[paper walrus]

they should be still completable, though you need to do each guardian's quest before it

[tall wren]

I cant find the quest tho

[normal rivet]

Is this the gigantic chain quest from the Luna npc?

[paper walrus]

should be

[normal rivet]

i remember checking maxroll to do it

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/island/foggy-ridge might help

[jade berry]

is there at least 800k gold worth of value in this rn?

[tall wren]

That helped indeed. Thank you!

[normal rivet]

[dim pulsar]

gems? sure, cubes? dunno, energy is up to u if u want, hell keys are wtf? (cant value them)

[tall wren]

Does it end on 6? Did they not continue it for 7 and above?

[normal rivet]

Did this quest a long time ago but if im not mistaken it does end at 6, not entirely sure but after its done theres a final quest with luna thats not related to killing any more guardians

[tall wren]

Do you know where?

I just finished all

[normal rivet]

then you got it, guess im wrong about the last quest, been a long time

[jade berry]

just tested. In EUC with current exchange rate: gems u make about 15k profit, life skilling (i did excavating) is about 10-15k profit with current market prices. I didn't buy the hell tickets yet but i assume there's value if i get to a decent floor and there's a fusion material chest or destro stone chest

probably 0 value in the legendary key ticket but the 2x pruple tickets seem worth

[dim pulsar]

thats always up to player if u want hell keys, can be good or just TRASH

[sinful compass]

are these useful nowadays?

[tall wren]

Why are the mokokos in Voldis so ass
So many "wait 3 billion years for something to happen" kind of mokokos

anyone know if this is worth from the mileage shop

@sinful compass got u

[sinful compass]

thank u! o7

[outer mason]

from a previous calculation I found that 1 Life Energy = roughly 1 gold on the market (selling the mats)
so 10 Basic Life Energy Potions => 30,000 Life Energy => ~30,000 Gold

Is 1,300 Mileage points worth 30,000 gold? I have no idea

[sinful compass]

what is like a good ilvl to park my main?

[pure basin]

depends what your goals are, if you plan on doing nightmare serca, etc. personally i would want to do hm kazeros/hm serca atleast (1730+) imo

[pure basin]

thats perfect thanks

nothing else in the shop seemed too valueable/rng heavy

[tall wren]

1750 is the next raid so no need to push further than that

Nightmare mode is 1750*

[sinful compass]

theres other gear i can craft at 1700 right?

[azure isle]

1730

[tender flicker]

What ilvl are you? 1680, 1700, 1710, 1730 are decent places to park imo. With a lot of value on 1710 if you can do the 3 latest raids.

If this is a main/event character, I’d try for 1710 at least.

You’ll lose mokoko status as a heads up, but the event is ending soon anyways and ark grid progression is painfully slow before 1710.

[tall wren]

One will end the next will most likely start

[tender flicker]

last one extended, one before that had like a month+ between

[tall wren]

I wonder if theyll increase mokoko to 1720

This is such a lie this gate aint opening up fam

nvm it opened up

[azure isle]

wait harder

[amber grove]

is it good if I swap cursed doll with stabilized status and level it up because well cursed doll is a kidney when stabilized status is cheap and same damage increase?

[dim pulsar]

well u can

BUT its downside is that u HAVE to be above 65%++ to get bonus dmg, this DONT work in serka if u got hit with 50% reduction of hp

this is also tricky if ur doing prog raids

[vast oriole]

only if you can maintain it

[atomic trellis]

Hey, I noticed I have a problem while logging. If i auto attack while on the life skill, it doesnt switch back to the combat skills. I had a look at the parameters but I am not able to find what's causing that. Does someone have an idea ?

[balmy plank]

It shouldn't automatically switch

That's normal

[atomic trellis]

Ah, ok. Then the question is : how do i make it switch 🙂 it seems it's quite convinient

Thanks for the screen, i will try that this evening

[livid fossil]

Skip dungeon cutscene

[sinful compass]

1680+

got a one tap free hone on shoudlers and chest earlier

[tender flicker]

1700 is the next benchmark since you can start stacking astrogems and doing act4 (not a lot of cores, but it’s something). Ideally I’d still try to aim for 1710 from there since it’s just so many more cores if you can do the last 3 raids.

[tender flicker]

is it you that’s making me drop my magick stream stacks?

guys where did the charm go after server merge? i cant find it in universal storage

[dim pulsar]

check any char, check any storage it might be on

[rose wren]

most likely whichever first u login on

[hot dock]

i checked all 3 chars

i dnt see

[rose wren]

did u mouse over the boxes in universtal?

[pure basin]

have enough for 1 pity which should i use it on, or hold till i can get 2+ pity?

i have astrogems from chest/fuse to pass down just planning ahead

[hot dock]

no

[hot dock]

how is it called

[outer mason]

Guide > Universal Storage ?

[hot dock]

no i mean the box

[dim pulsar]

just check it ALL

[rose wren]

i dont remember name

[hot dock]

ok found it

ty

[bold geyser]

i use the astrogem calc and just went with whichever showed the biggest gain from replacing my current legendary w/ bis 17p relic

[tender flicker]

Finishing order cores is most impactful, but if you're getting into parties fine, I'd consider just holding

[rose wren]

is this anything related? #lost-ark-help message

[whole cypress]

https://lostark.bible/character/CE/Sahelrians
Hey. I am consistently seeing 1700s-1710s characters at 1.9-2k cp without ark grid, most with similar gems to mine or even a few worse. Wanted to know if my shitty quality on accs and gear really makes a 450cp difference between them and me? I guess missing the final levels of my ark pass and the evolution upgrades is kind of critical. But I'm asking just to make sure I'm not missing anything else.

[pure basin]

yeah that is ty

hmm actually it doesnt show the leg-> relic increase

[lavish mortar]

books, fix your ark passive (enlightenment)

[whole cypress]

Fix?

I am working on the last pot from the bloodclaw chart if that's what you mean

[jaunty iron]

engraving diff, i can not see how a 1700 can get 2k cp with no ark grid and similar gems otherwise

[lavish mortar]

you have a bunch of points in side nodes

remove that and get lvl 3 of t4 node

may not give CP, but would be free dmg

[whole cypress]

Well they are required for the build but Ig you are right.

[lavish mortar]

i mean would you rather do more dmg
or less dmg

[candid lake]

the side nodes arent generally required

unless specified

for dk the side nodes are just more like

qol

[whole cypress]

I mean yeah they were recommended in the bukd

build

[candid lake]

you always prio the main tree and not the side nodes

[whole cypress]

But it was stupid of me to take them over level 3 in T4

[bold geyser]

try https://airplaner.github.io/lostark-arkgrid-gem-locator-v2/ 🙂

[candid lake]

unless if it's special classes

uhh i can only think of re deathblade for one build and summoner

[lavish mortar]

NE 503 i think can argue you drop some points in t4 for side nodes too maybe

[sinful compass]

what should i run?

like overall

as 1680

just all raids and chaos and guardian?

is there anything else to do

[faint cedar]

mordum brel aegir

[bold geyser]

mordum, brel, aegir, kurzan, skolakia

[faint cedar]

act 1 2 3

[sinful compass]

yes

done them

anything else

[faint cedar]

then ur done

[sinful compass]

like some kind of side quests i need

[lavish mortar]

islands for fun!

[faint cedar]

cubes if you have em, horizonal collectibles and such

[bold geyser]

paradise, cubes, horizontal

especially paradise

[sinful compass]

damn......this game rly isnt a full time job now then

[faint cedar]

work on getting ur enlightenment points if u dont have them

[bold geyser]

time to roll 29 alts

[sinful compass]

might have to

[faint cedar]

alt+d search enlightenment potions

[sinful compass]

https://klipy.com/gifs/sweats-7--k01KQN3G80VDXS879ZSQYJZ37HD

[sinful compass]

iwhat?

whats that

[bold geyser]

you could also just play other things if you've done everything and dont wanna play an alt 😄

[bold geyser]

codex

and a bunch of collectibles that increase enlightenment karma points by themselves, i guess?

[sinful compass]

this is not how my addiction works, sadly

[faint cedar]

enlightenment potions + karma rank 6 = full enlightenment points from ark passive

(blue one)

its important to do if you havent done it

[sinful compass]

is there a point in doing the search thing now

[bold geyser]

and its shared across all chars

[sinful compass]

dis

is there a point in collecting anything

[bold geyser]

thats for hunting

[faint cedar]

lifeskilling

[sinful compass]

yes dat

[bold geyser]

feel free to lifeskill for money

[faint cedar]

its useful to craft supplemental fusions in stronghold

or sell the tradeskill mats for gold

[bold geyser]

depends on if you're into money or not

[sinful compass]

of course

https://klipy.com/gifs/hello-i-like-money-1--k01KQN40H7C2QQ5SGRC2G9Q12JR

[bold geyser]

thats an option, then 🙂

[rose wren]

ur losing gold if u dont

[sinful compass]

whats the msot worth it now?

[bold geyser]

kept seeing people say hunting, but duo logging is quicker

[dim pulsar]

most worth is do ANYTHING and craft abidos with them

[tender flicker]

Like the search skill that toggles on? Turn it on and you can then swap it for something else. Check market for best priced lifeskill, but people usually specialize in one they prefer to farm since tools and levels matter.

[bold geyser]

calculator angle

shit i lost that tab too, hold on

[livid fossil]

Don’t roll 29 alts

[tender flicker]

Yeah, if lifeskilling bores you just go logging and burn the energy quickly

[bold geyser]

https://la-tools.com/crafting-calculator

[livid fossil]

I
Just put on music and log

[rose wren]

if u havent started, first collectible reward or something, give u xp potion for all lifeskills, skip a bunch of lvls, best to use it early on than later

[faint cedar]

specifically DUO logging is very fast

solo logging is not very fast

[tender flicker]

If you care to, you can do a bit of everything until you get a better charm and then specialize

[sinful compass]

whats that?

[tender flicker]

Yeah, if you're gonna mostly solo might as well pick something that earns more

Find a friend/rando to log with, turns axe into a 2 man saw to cut trees faster

[faint cedar]

^

if solo lifeskilling go for value

if u wanna get through it fast go for duo logging

frfr

[sinful compass]

money over free time please :3

[faint cedar]

then search up mat prices on the market

for each lifeskill

and do whichevers the most expensive

[lavish mortar]

historically that means hunting then

[sinful compass]

where do i do that

[bold geyser]

anywhere the zone text has a little trap symbol under it on the overworld

[tender flicker]

Has anyone ever tracked their hunting income vs other lifeskills? Since you can only get T3 or T4 blue meats at a time, idk how to evaluate it.

[bold geyser]

abidos is fine, rimeria may be better?

[tender flicker]

idk about EU, but T3 blue meat has been higher value than abidos meat

[bold geyser]

dont remember where i used to T3 hunt sorry 😄

[tender flicker]

I did a little loop around the left side of tidal in punika

if there are better spots

[rose wren]

svern has collectible

[tender flicker]

ah, true

[bold geyser]

that was def it

[tender flicker]

Might as well do world leaf quests while your at it

[bold geyser]

once upon a time

all the rabbits by...thunderwings?

[tender flicker]

the pink ones

only from plants

[bold geyser]

yuh

[hot dock]

is there a twitch drop campaign?

[balmy plank]

Not atm I dont think

[hot dock]

@balmy plank was there one for serca update or not

[balmy plank]

The last one was 2 months ago from what I can tell

[candid lake]

^

woulda been mentioned in #announcements

[hot dock]

oh ok thanks

there used to be a page when i typed lost ark twitch drops that showed if there were any active drops

but it seems it s not mantained anymore

[candid lake]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-gb/twitch-drops

this one?

it would mention if there were any drops im p sure

like there would be a thing inbetween faq and the top

example @hot dock

[dim pulsar]

nothing special, not even aura drop

[neon rivet]

Should i always get the extra box from raids? since the only thing holding my progress is gold. i'm at 1688il

[dim pulsar]

depen, u got karma done? u need more ah mats (from mordum)?

but its up to u, gold is gold, but systems are systems, if u get to 1700ilvl but low cp it wont help ya

[neon rivet]

gotcha just wondering if i could reach at least 1710 before event ends

[dim pulsar]

well

can vs should

[lucid axle]

what’s the dps req for NM serca?

[vast oriole]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19r5A56C8USONYF3AHfCZ8TLgrHuzenEuYH9I21OpTQo/edit

[shadow pasture]

the dps req

is to have a pulse

[lucid axle]

ah yeah ty i couldn’t see in the doc on my phone for some reason

200 is like super doable even without even ark grid especially with rumble

why do ppl expect u to have ark grid set up

[faint cedar]

depends on the class

[tender flicker]

Because not every player has hands

[vast oriole]

usually you dont see rumble in normal ngl

[cyan kiln]

Lots of deaths and people close to the dps reqs and you will hit berserk.

[faint cedar]

we used to clear HM mordum sub 2k cp but what were the expectations once ark grid came out

[vast oriole]

unless you really have low dmg, or a shitton of stagger

[cyan kiln]

But yeah once progged dps is no issue.
