[bold geyser]

for the same "free"

[nocturne burrow]

so i should just slam all my regular hones no condom

[rose jewel]

And then price/power you go AH 40 before even continuing normal honing

[bold geyser]

as always, calculator angle

[rose jewel]

Not only because of cost alone, it's because paradise and special honing exists

[bold geyser]

where you are rn though, if you're +18 regular honing on everything, dont worry about regular honing at all for now

[nocturne burrow]

im just about +18

look at my mats bro

im gonna fuckin end it all

these two mats are impossible to source in high volume

[bold geyser]

theres a reason for the adv honing suggestion

its more efficient for you to be AHing right now than to be blowing all your mats on regular honing to 18

you get more ilvl and power out of it

?advhoning

[buoyant dock]

Optimal Advanced Honing Order
Standard: +12 -> 1-10 -> +14 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.
Express: +14 -> 1-10 -> +16 -> 11-20 -> +18 -> 21-40 -> Continue to normal hone.
Calculated with no additional materials (Books & Solars) and full on grace for advanced honing (Scrolls & Solars used on full grace only). Personal costs may vary when using an abundance of these items should you have them. You can estimate your costs using Maxrolls Honing Calculator https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator

[nocturne burrow]

i was told you 10-21 once you hit 18

some even said 19

[rose jewel]

Who told you that

[bold geyser]

they were wrong 😄

[rose jewel]

Because it was not here

[nocturne burrow]

you 11-20 from 14??

[bold geyser]

if you're on the express, from 16

but yeah

[nocturne burrow]

🙂

[rose jewel]

So who told you that

Like for real

[nocturne burrow]

i dont even remember anymore

someone i will no longer listen to

[rose jewel]

Then no one did

[bold geyser]

you haven't done anything wrong by honing up first

you're just a bit behidn where you could be

[nocturne burrow]

fmfl

[bold geyser]

it'll even out eventually

[nocturne burrow]

ok wait

the only thing i need rn

is a way to get destiny shards and leapstones

and LOTS of them

ive ran thru every exchange possible

[faint cedar]

It’s normal to be shard gated on new characters

You would have reached this point regardless of what option you chose

[rose jewel]

I'll be real there's no way to get a mass amount of them but event shop, paradise, express, the rest is just "play and get them over time"

[nocturne burrow]

i was gold gated at a point so i did a lil mini swipe

[faint cedar]

Never swipe for mats

[nocturne burrow]

and since then its just been leapstones again

destiny shards is a new thing

[bold geyser]

just a little swipe as a treat

[nocturne burrow]

20 life essence pots

[rose jewel]

You will face an obvious lack of mats if you mass hone without having resources beforehand, aka literally all new players

[faint cedar]

The roi in swiping for progression is actual dogshit

[nocturne burrow]

i spent $10 cad and got

[bold geyser]

probably reasonable, if you're gonna

[nocturne burrow]

well i needed gold asap so i exchanged

[faint cedar]

Life essence pots is fine

[nocturne burrow]

and i already ran thru all the pots

[bold geyser]

all that to say

[faint cedar]

I’m just saying like mat boxes

[bold geyser]

sometimes you're just gated

[nocturne burrow]

what are u guys gated on

[faint cedar]

Red rocks

[rose jewel]

Ark pass is one of the best deals, and one of the only cheap ones to get mats with

[bold geyser]

hands 😩

[nocturne burrow]

i have 20k red and 42k blue bro that has never been my problem

[faint cedar]

There will be a point where you stop honing and accumulate millions of shards through dailies

[faint cedar]

My taps cost over 4k red rocks per

[nocturne burrow]

when tf is it back

[faint cedar]

You have nothing

[nocturne burrow]

calm 10 hones

thats enough to satisfy the itch

[rose jewel]

Not anytime soon I bet

Anyway welcome to endgame

[nocturne burrow]

im gonna try tea & libra

piratecoins right?

[rose jewel]

It's only gonna get worse

[nocturne burrow]

lets fuckin go

it only sucks cuz im rushing so hard before event end

to get all the rewards

[rose jewel]

Have you bought the important collectibles first

[faint cedar]

The faster you push the faster you run out

[nocturne burrow]

uhhh

[rose jewel]

Bloodclaws

[faint cedar]

And by my logic the more unlucky you become

[nocturne burrow]

i have done like almost 0 horizontal progression

i did arkesia tour

[faint cedar]

If you’re ever pushing for a goal, the game can sense it I swear

[nocturne burrow]

bought some crafting recipes in stronghold

maybe 2 dispatches

thats all

[rose jewel]

Don't use pirate coins nor sea coins then

[nocturne burrow]

wtf are collectibles for

[rose jewel]

Important ones = power

[faint cedar]

Mostly runes and skill point pots

[nocturne burrow]

im gonna be so fr

i will probably never be one of the 1900 ilvl players

who grinds all the big bosses and all that

im here for a good time

[rose jewel]

If only we had 1900ilv

[nocturne burrow]

that beign said

how far are collectibles rly gonna take me

[rose jewel]

Bro 1710 is literally all content unlocked

[faint cedar]

Collectibles are important for somethings

[rose jewel]

Anything higher is just for hard more which you're not ready for anyway

And the next raid is 1700

[faint cedar]

Like some builds are just not useable unless you have all the wealth runes unlocked for example

[rose jewel]

You're panicking over nothing

Calm your tits and take it easy, game won't go anywhere

Breath

[nocturne burrow]

my rush is event

i want all the rewards

[rose jewel]

Events come and go as well, if you miss a bit of stuff you ain't dying

[azure isle]

what event

[rose jewel]

You ain't getting all the rewards

[nocturne burrow]

yea but id like to maximize my gains

[rose jewel]

All rewards means 1730

[nocturne burrow]

challenge express

[rose jewel]

You ain't getting there, stop the fomo

[nocturne burrow]

well as many as i can feasibly get

which is probably 1700 if even

[azure isle]

1700 is the last

did you buy premium exp?

[nocturne burrow]

1690 reward is already insane

[rose jewel]

There are boxes up to 1730

[nocturne burrow]

i didnt

i was going to

[azure isle]

thats gk event

[nocturne burrow]

its like $60 bro

[rose jewel]

?

There's always extra boxes for express

I'm not talking about the path event

Unless I'm quite stupid but I'm sure about it

[azure isle]

ah

this shit continues

[nocturne burrow]

i was just looking at that

if nothing else

1690 box is insane value

so ive been hauling ass

im 1.7 ilvl away

and with it 1700 isnt so far away

[azure isle]

youll be gold gated

[nocturne burrow]

certainly

id rather be gold gated than mats gated

[azure isle]

and you dont have any other weekly reset to rely on

[dim pulsar]

well, unless ur WHALE u WONT complete event at 1700ilvl when u start it later than we started it

[nocturne burrow]

then i bum it to 1690 then get smart

[azure isle]

did you start like this week?

[nocturne burrow]

[faint cedar]

If you’re gated by mats you’re also gold gated

[nocturne burrow]

this is my 2nd week reset

[dim pulsar]

well

[faint cedar]

Yeah you just started late is all

[nocturne burrow]

granted the first week and a half i had no idea what i was doing

[dim pulsar]

then DONT EVER EXPECT to be where we are

[azure isle]

you wont finish it if you dont have a sugar daddy or whale yourself tbh

[nocturne burrow]

so uh

im handsome and submissive

[azure isle]

open a loa go fundme

[faint cedar]

I hear zyla is sponsoring mokokos

[dim pulsar]

with silver

[nocturne burrow]

zyla already earned me 40k

[dim pulsar]

look, he got me 6m silver

[azure isle]

i sponsored 3 mokokos in mordum normal and they insulted me so i jailed them

[faint cedar]

Fuck where do I sign up

[rose jewel]

To fuck or for the silver

not with a deathblade main

[nocturne burrow]

#lost-ark-nsfw

[faint cedar]

But nah if you started like a month ago you’d probably hit the ilvl

2 resets ain’t enough G

[nocturne burrow]

good thing i cant read

[rose jewel]

1700 yes, anything higher is a doubt

1690? Guaranteed

[faint cedar]

You’d still need to get pretty lucky on a fresh account with no funnel chests

[azure isle]

all roads lead to sugardaddy

[faint cedar]

To hit that 1700

[nocturne burrow]

funnel chest?

[dim pulsar]

chests from before event

[rose jewel]

Event mats saved

[dim pulsar]

• stacked event shop mats

[azure isle]

i would send some cash money but youre on the bad region

suks

[rose jewel]

Veterans can have thousands of leaps, millions of shards etc saved before a new class releases

[faint cedar]

Like I have 1000s of mat bags just saved

Doing nothing

[glossy swallow]

is there any reason to upgrade relic to ancient weapon at 1660?
after getting all armor ofc

[nocturne burrow]

eu rhymes with ew

[nocturne burrow]

apparently not necessary til 1730

but i did it

[glossy swallow]

necessity is one thing

does it boost anything

[faint cedar]

Think my mains up to 12 million shards now?

[dim pulsar]

no

[dim pulsar]

comfy with 5m

that will crash as i go hone more

[faint cedar]

At 1660, no, but like all other gear progression, it being relic prevents you from high end base honing

[azure isle]

your chances of not being gatekept or some bullshit

[tender flicker]

I didn't catch the start, what ilvl are you at?

[nocturne burrow]

@me?

[faint cedar]

I’ve only converted my weap and gloves so far so I’m sure it’ll drop soon

[dim pulsar]

hes just shy of 1690, but he started like 2 week ago

[nocturne burrow]

also is that fast or slow

[glossy swallow]

oh...
i just saw that serca normal is 1710 item lvl...

I quess i should push my 1708 bard.
that has a chance to be smart,

[dim pulsar]

i need to play game man need to do more sercas

[tender flicker]

oh hm

I mean thats decent pacing

[nocturne burrow]

wait let me see

[livid fossil]

So he honned with event and thought everything would be peachy

[tender flicker]

1710 is a great spot to park if you can run all 3 core earning raids

[dim pulsar]

i mean 1640->1690 isnt something bad cuz u have all nerfs, after that u start with more gold sucking taps

[nocturne burrow]

i started 2 tuesdays ago

so the day after i started was a reset

and i wasnt bossing so

this is my second reset

[faint cedar]

I refuse to do HM serca or id be done already xdd

[glossy swallow]

comparing act 4 to kazeros and serca, are they much harder?

[nocturne burrow]

give me one good reason........

[tender flicker]

My friend started and then procrastinated on progression until 2 days before event ended because he assumed things would be peachy, could be worse

[serene copper]

Hey I just started the game I picked guardian knight as my class when do I get gear that looks different I’m dressed like a hooker 😭

[dim pulsar]

i mean i dont rly have time, but when i have time theres 0 lobbys

[tender flicker]

Sure, both are a step up in difficulty

[dim pulsar]

thats skins

Gold or $$

[faint cedar]

Have you tried taking off ur clothes

[serene copper]

I mean from like drops tho like all my drops are the same just different levels

[rose jewel]

I'll be honest, naked looks better than some clothes some have, he has a point

[faint cedar]

End game skin selection IS just being naked

[nocturne burrow]

here i am pissed that ancient gear took my souleaters thighs away

[livid fossil]

Armor depends what is the ilvl you have

[faint cedar]

Fkin gooner community

[tender flicker]

Are you manually leveling? You'll get new looking gear every here and there. It'll get replaced anyways, end game its skin choice that overlays armor.

[rose jewel]

You can craft skins (old armors)

Or just buy skins

[serene copper]

I’m just doing the story

[rose jewel]

99% of armors look like ass anyway

[nocturne burrow]

are u powerpass?

[tall wren]

"(Quest) Those First Steps - Your Stronghold" I don't have it completed and its not in my stronghold either

[rose jewel]

If you're just doing the story you'll be changing clothes every few hours, don't pay it any attention

[serene copper]

I just don’t be dressed like this

lol

[nocturne burrow]

fit tuff wym

[serene copper]

Okay I’ll just keep playing

[livid fossil]

Story gr 0-1640 you will get it though story each continent will give you the right armor for that area

[rose jewel]

That's hot, give me her number

[azure isle]

doesnt really get better

[rose jewel]

Her number as well

[livid fossil]

Exchange

Mats Npc

[nocturne burrow]

anyone know the name?

[azure isle]

of what

[tender flicker]

are you just short shards?

[nocturne burrow]

^

shards and leaps

[dim pulsar]

well i have bad and bad news

[azure isle]

there are no shards

[dim pulsar]

that wont be enough for u

[azure isle]

only juice

[nocturne burrow]

fmfl

ive ran thru those already

[rose jewel]

Ah ok, no I did not know that meme, I'm not from the usa or any English speaking country so I didn't know about it

[azure isle]

as i was saying

[livid fossil]

Did you grab shards from hell solo shop leaps

[nocturne burrow]

hell solo shop?

[azure isle]

2 different things

[livid fossil]

Hell 🔑

And solo shop

[azure isle]

hes not fond of using commas

[nocturne burrow]

ive ran my hells today

and solo shop yes

[livid fossil]

Unlucky

[nocturne burrow]

anything on my screen i certainly clicked

i got wealth special honing lvl 7

got 1 lvl out of it

[livid fossil]

Then you swipe or wait for next reset

[tender flicker]

like how many shards and leaps are we talking?

[bold geyser]

hell key shard rewards are pretty ass

[nocturne burrow]

9k shards 80 leaps

[azure isle]

wealth doesnt increase the rewards from the chest

[livid fossil]

Well it is something

[nocturne burrow]

yea base mats

i learned that today

[tender flicker]

for...1690 I assume?

thats not a lot

[livid fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-hart-you-gone-learn-today-learn-gif-15056657

[nocturne burrow]

ive reached that conclusion yes

[tender flicker]

I meant how many you needed to hit 1700

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator ballpark

[nocturne burrow]

1690 express rewards a fukton of mats

[minor igloo]

It's an ok amount of mats

[nocturne burrow]

should i be advance honing one piece of gear to the moon or 1-1-1-1

[minor igloo]

Finish each bracket on each piece

[azure isle]

as if you'll afford either

but 1-1-1-1-1-1

[nocturne burrow]

the funny thing is

[tender flicker]

do it in intervals of 10 generally speaking, but mostly applies to AH 30 and 40

[nocturne burrow]

if i do tempering lvl 2

i wont have enough to hone

[tender flicker]

uh

[bold geyser]

tempering can wait

[nocturne burrow]

only gloves are ready to hone

[tender flicker]

I feel like I'm missing something here . 1700 is usually +18 and AH 20

oh

[bold geyser]

you're not

they just went ham on honing

generally a couple of AH levels wont really make a difference

[tender flicker]

thats a lot of AH left

[nocturne burrow]

so just go gloves?

[tender flicker]

uh

[nocturne burrow]

thank u guys for sitting in this with me lmfao

[bold geyser]

unless you're getting to X5 or X0 you're not hitting any major breakpoints

[nocturne burrow]

i can probably +3 the gloves

[bold geyser]

are the top 4 at AH0 or AH10?

[tender flicker]

I mean, thats not horrible with express event I guess and already having a chunk of the fusions

[nocturne burrow]

i wish any of this made sense when i started

there were 30 different mats to understand the purpose of

[tender flicker]

how much longer on this event again?

[dim pulsar]

thats last week

[nocturne burrow]

next wednesday

or before it anyway

[dim pulsar]

boxes are up till june 15? or so

[nocturne burrow]

like claiming them?

[dim pulsar]

u cant claim them AFTER this week

[tender flicker]

Can open it later, but need to hit 1700 on time to claim

[dim pulsar]

as u need to be 1700ilvl to get one

[tender flicker]

Thats how they get you

[nocturne burrow]

do i need agris scale for anything?

[azure isle]

yes

exchange it for juice

but dont buy raid boxes for it

[tender flicker]

hellfire keystones are for ancient gear or juice, thundercrack horns are for AH 30 or juice, thunder globe for AH 40 or juice

[azure isle]

after youre done tempering

you turn mordum BALLS into brelshaza BALLS into aegir BALLS into juice

[tender flicker]

I haven't done the maths, is that better than just going mordum mats into juice?

[nocturne burrow]

feelsbadman.png

[azure isle]

it should be more bags if you do long way

i didnt math tho

i have phd in stupidity

[nocturne burrow]

should i hold onto all my shadow of karma or can i exchange a lil

i have 120

[tender flicker]

uh...how far along is your karma?

[nocturne burrow]

evo 1-3, enlightenment 5-19, leap 1-4

[livid fossil]

Ah you need the karma

lol 1-4 1-3 lol

[bold geyser]

you can get more pots though

if your'e desperate to hit a breakpoint this week

[nocturne burrow]

i was told enlightenment to 6-21 then the rest after

what pots?

[livid fossil]

Karma pots

[bold geyser]

more shadows

[livid fossil]

They give extra karma for doing the raid

[nocturne burrow]

5 pots = this

which is absolute dookie

but im kinda stuck

[azure isle]

dont buy that

[livid fossil]

If you do Brel you get extra for both gates plus solo shop

[tender flicker]

Assuming you already used your resonance and rest potions?

[nocturne burrow]

ive done all weeklies besides thaemine and below

[livid fossil]

Random dookie

[nocturne burrow]

im STUCK

[azure isle]

you have no hope to finish express without a sponsor

stop the fomo

[nocturne burrow]

1690

is 1.2 away

[azure isle]

do lifeskills

[nocturne burrow]

for honing mats?

[azure isle]

yes

[nocturne burrow]

how does that work

[livid fossil]

Mary a sugar monmmma

[azure isle]

sell lifeskill mats

or craft

[nocturne burrow]

oh u mean for gold

im good on gold

[azure isle]

then buy materials

[nocturne burrow]

i could buy

[livid fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/boomshakalaka-gif-8374420396325808600

[nocturne burrow]

fuk it man

was trying to exhaust my options

[tender flicker]

whats your ign?

[nocturne burrow]

agonii

[hollow arrow]

anyone have a clue what the difference between these is, shadow shop

is it just that the straight books cost 3k gold, thats dumb

[nocturne burrow]

one costs gold one doesnt

[hollow arrow]

thats so dumb

3k is the cost in the store...

[tender flicker]

[hollow arrow]

where do the enhanced books even come from

[nocturne burrow]

aw man ur too kind

they broke me

i just auctioned it all

thank u for even thinking to do it

[manic trail]

did u miss me gazi?

im back.

[nocturne burrow]

wb goat

time 2 give narok a spanking

[faint roost]

Question for mordum, is it possible to do hm gate 1 and 2, then do gate 3 solo mode

[manic trail]

i will

hehe

[rose wren]

u cant do any in raids, u r lock in that mode

[tender flicker]

Can't do a mix of solo and group. Can change between normal and hard, but in general people just stick to the same group and difficulty for all the gates.

Kinda a problem with mordum hard atm, none of the stronger and generally more experienced players are running it as a gold earner

[vast oriole]

My advice is to just run it solo instead of risking to get jailed

[nocturne burrow]

is there a remedy for being jailed or are u just cooked?

[vast oriole]

specifically act 3 or in general ?

[nocturne burrow]

in general

[dim pulsar]

its bad in older raids, its "fine" in act4/final act or serca

fine as u can still find some players that will clear raid

[honest ledge]

does anyone have a sheet mathing out the price eff of buying life skill potions with bc

[livid fossil]

Problem is don’t you need hm mordom for scroll

[rose wren]

whoever mind set was to do it in a set amount instead of per gate is the problem community, cant just do a gate and wait another day with rando, there plenty form of ocntact to continue raid together but they dont

low playercount makes it even worse to get out of jail

[vast oriole]

no its just people that dont do old raids

i got jailed serca today twice and i unjailed immediately

[rose wren]

that too

[nocturne burrow]

@manic trail did u get his ass?

[manic trail]

trying.

jus started

[amber grove]

my luck with chests this week is shit

I am guessing destiny stones are best?

[rose wren]

if u dont have 100quality gear probably

[hardy sleet]

those are chaos stones, destiny stones are for karma

[amber grove]

yeah I was about to say

[nocturne burrow]

when u follow him up the bridge dont run straight at him or ull freeze

2 waves

[hardy sleet]

but yeah destiny stone is the best imo, if you don't have max lvl karma

[rose wren]

isnt that on right?

[hardy sleet]

on the right it is chaos stone yep, but he asked about destiny

[rose wren]

maybe i shoulda added , after gear

[hardy sleet]

oh in that case mb i misunderstood you

[amber grove]

honing support was juice right?

[hardy sleet]

yes

[amber grove]

thank you

is it a good idea to buy adv honing scrolls for every tap or only for full grace?

[rose wren]

iirc grace

[manic trail]

wi did it

FIRST TRY.

is gate 2 harde

r

[hardy sleet]

if you need to buy them only use them at full grace, if you are at the point if you have leftovers use it for every tap

[lavish mortar]

Which adv scrolls?

The 11-20 ones iirc are worth
Others ud need to check market

[nocturne burrow]

there are more mechanics

i found her rly annoying at the time

[manic trail]

i dont get this right

[manic trail]

oof

[nocturne burrow]

nah not witht he gold u have

[manic trail]

kk

[amber grove]

it costs me 2k per tap to adv hone

[nocturne burrow]

id watch a guide tbh

unless u wanna a bunch of times without knowing why

[amber grove]

metallurgy is even cheaper somehow

[tender flicker]

Higher demand for tailoring since you have to do x5 instead of x1

[manic trail]

im tryna find a one

there isnt any on maxroll ig

[nocturne burrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-UChldwMJs&t=108s

from 8:49

u can skip the attacks but watch the mechanics

[manic trail]

kk

tysmmm

[rich verge]

if DB is a bit much watch memorizer guide

personally i find it better

[lavish mortar]

I wouldn't buy those except for grace taps

[manic trail]

well

doesnt seem complicaated

lemme tryagain

[nocturne burrow]

last phase is where it gets annoying

[faint cedar]

Solo mode?

Press hyper and cast Nineveh and she falls over

[livid fossil]

G1 g2

After scythe and freeze ray i just hype and beat her down

[manic trail]

she didnt do anything at the last phase

lol

just a spacebar and that wwas it

maybe im too good.

[nocturne burrow]

lmfao ur just the goat

[manic trail]

hehe

[nocturne burrow]

my first few times i kept dying with her like 10 bars left

if u do enough dmg u can skip phases

[manic trail]

what does she do

[lucid axle]

what comes with a tfm clear?

[manic trail]

she litr did nothing

[nocturne burrow]

i dobt remember but it was just a million things happening at once

[shy chasm]

In solo mode nothing really

[lavish mortar]

Title
Mount
Insignia
Mvp background
100k gold

[shy chasm]

They gutted the fight so hard on solo mode

[manic trail]

yeah

u just care for the 1 shot wipe thing

• sign

dats it

[nocturne burrow]

are u doing it from the challenge express ui or the alt q ui?

[lucid axle]

1740 right?

[lavish mortar]

Yes

[lucid axle]

ah kk

[manic trail]

me? alt q

[lavish mortar]

They did g1
So alt q

[manic trail]

i press alt q andd go to kazerosa

[nocturne burrow]

o yea

[lucid axle]

is this week the last week of tfm?

or next week

[nocturne burrow]

if ur doing challenge express then do it there as well

[lavish mortar]

This is final week

[lucid axle]

ah shit

hmmm

[manic trail]

whats tfm

[lucid axle]

kk ty

[lavish mortar]

Mega hard mode essentially

Officially its The First Mode

[shadow pasture]

Better start proggin

[lavish mortar]

Its a big ol race event for first clear (per region), for the final raid of a given "set"
So thaemine had it for Legion Raids, and kazeros for Kazeros Raids

[manic trail]

didnt i do this? why cant i claim it

[lavish mortar]

Did you do the challenge version through that UI?

[manic trail]

uh i did kazeros act 2

just now

this

[lavish mortar]

You need the challenge express difficulty one
Not solo difficulty

[manic trail]

ye but arent they both the same

[shy chasm]

No

[mellow mauve]

This week

[shy chasm]

That one you start on g2

You skip g1 and you get the express rewards aswell

[paper walrus]

the challenge version are an even easier version of solo mode

to get players used to playing the game

[azure isle]

what am i supposed to see, i cant quite grasp the idea

[paper walrus]

see dn

[azure isle]

dn?

[paper walrus]

i would draw more arrows but im in raid

[nocturne burrow]

even easier and gives u more rewards

regular doesnt count for the clear

[candid lake]

was challenge mode brel actualyl that easier

🤔

[paper walrus]

lower hp

thats it

[nocturne burrow]

= more skipping

= overall easier

[faint cedar]

I think the first 2 event raids were a bit more challenging due to where the event progress leaves you at

But everything else was piss easy

[candid lake]

i think they also had higher hp than intended

i remember that being mentioned

[tender flicker]

Some of them have scaled up hp like echidna

[manic trail]

kk

this ddoesnt consume my weekly gold right

[nocturne burrow]

nope nor ur entry counts, its all separate

[faint cedar]

Reduce sidereal damage too right?

[lucid axle]

is the auto extract fine now im paradise now that there isnt the effects on each relic?

[rich verge]

it never auto extracts things your own level so it was always fine

[nocturne burrow]

echidna was so annoying for a first boss

[livid fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/christopher-walken-fever-cowbell-more-cowbell-prescription-gif-16839976

[nocturne burrow]

and i didnt know about challenge express so i was doing her solo mode

[livid fossil]

And it was the g2 they said challenge so g1 was not really a challenge

lol

Challenge express is just g2 so you pretty much did it solo for practice right

[faint cedar]

Echidna is always annoying

[nocturne burrow]

the worst bosses are the ones that do no damage but are always moving and knocking u around

cc in general

[vast oriole]

worst boss of this game rn is act 4 g1

echidna

this bitch is so bad

[nocturne burrow]

are the mechs different?

[lucid axle]

did anyone end up doing the math on average how much gold itll cost from 0 karma to full 21?

[vast oriole]

yea

like 150k per tree?

average

[bold geyser]

theres nothing to be done with roster-bound engravings beyond 20, right? just consume and pretend you didn't see anything?

[candid lake]

dismantle for 1 silver

[bold geyser]

[neon rivet]

what should i save my gold for as a newbie player? Trying to reach 1700 il for now

or ok to push my gear for now got 150k unbound gold

[manic trail]

holy how do u have that much

[nocturne burrow]

ull prob use most of it on honing

otherwise its gems or refining accessories which arent rly ur prio if ur powerpass

[neon rivet]

lifeskill

[neon rivet]

i'm powerpass was trying to push 1710 before event ends so i get most rewards from gk

[manic trail]

btw how do i get skins? only money?

[neon rivet]

can buy with gold tho

[manic trail]

nah im poor on that

[bold geyser]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Cg9q8t4-MeUg-TQUJ_oeHqN-03z9l-RPlHfHp4gZuzs/edit?gid=233417332#gid=233417332

as ever, calculator angle 🙂

[nocturne burrow]

people buy them and sell them on the auction but thats way expensive

[manic trail]

okay another one

[tender flicker]

Gold, $$$, blue crystal (gold converted), fabric/yoz jar gamba, pet ranch

[manic trail]

if i were to get some crystals

wat do u recommend buying

[neon rivet]

a lot reading i see

[nocturne burrow]

life pots tbh

[tender flicker]

Is this your first character? You probably wanna try to push 1700 before this event ends

[manic trail]

yep first

[rich verge]

bonus room and wardrobe is good investments tbh

[bold geyser]

i mean you can ignore the explanation page if you're able to intuit the chart on the next page

[manic trail]

wat are those

[rich verge]

if you buy skins from wardrobe u can sell again which is air

[neon rivet]

idk what is on mid-range for acessories. i got the premium pass

[bold geyser]

basically just start at the top of the list and scroll down until you reach something you dont have yet

[tender flicker]

If you got the premium pass don't sweat the accessories

until like...way way later

[manic trail]

i dont have that

[nocturne burrow]

have u ever done a lifeskill?

[manic trail]

idont have anything

[tender flicker]

like 1730+ you can maybe think about it

[manic trail]

nope

[nocturne burrow]

press b and look at the green bar, thats ur lifeskill meter

[rich verge]

lifeskill = professions basically farm herbs trees ores etc

[nocturne burrow]

u can do things like cutting trees or mining or whatever and sell the mateirals on market for gold

ull make a good amount doing it but that green bar fills back up rly slow

[bold geyser]

then what you have are basically between mid-mids and high-lows, can treat those as done until you hit "high-mid" on the list

[nocturne burrow]

so u buy pots so u can fill it and go again

[rich verge]

invest in gooner skin from wardrobe and re-sell when u get bored

[neon rivet]

cut trees > make abidos on stronghold > sell them on market. Also selling every non bound material

[nocturne burrow]

this tbh

[azure isle]

buy lost ark founder pack platinum

[bold geyser]

this also doesn't include T4.5 so it definitely needs updating

but for that purpose just basically ignore any weapon/armor honing beyond +20

[manic trail]

hmmm

so thats the way

[azure isle]

no its not

[manic trail]

o

[azure isle]

that is not something you should worry about

[manic trail]

oh i should be doing it then

[azure isle]

at this state

[manic trail]

i wanna cut trees

[nocturne burrow]

100%

at least get the bar a little empty so ur not wasting what could be refilling

[manic trail]

ye ye

exactly

[nocturne burrow]

cut trees at abidos garrison in kurzan, thats the spot

the ashen hill triport

[manic trail]

i never go for accessory right

[nocturne burrow]

not before 1680

[bold geyser]

what item level

[manic trail]

1672

[bold geyser]

then no

[manic trail]

kk

ability stone is also useless right

[nocturne burrow]

take fusion materials

[manic trail]

since i got it from powerpass

[bold geyser]

fusions are better value anyhow unless you have tons and tons

[manic trail]

lemme see

[bold geyser]

not useless, but way less urgent

[azure isle]

stock up for later

[bold geyser]

you could roll a 3/2 stone

[manic trail]

1050

[azure isle]

you dont have silver to cut accessories nor stones

[manic trail]

abidos

[bold geyser]

but thats lower priority than a lot of other things

[nocturne burrow]

stock up for 10 hones from now

[rich verge]

SAYS YOU BUCKO

[bold geyser]

deffo fusions then

[manic trail]

whats that

it has 3 engravings?

[azure isle]

im no longer the me when i first came here

[nocturne burrow]

your ability stone

[azure isle]

stupid bih

[nocturne burrow]

two level 2 engravings

or one 3 and one 2

[bold geyser]

9 pips and 7 pips, around a 1:700 chance

[nocturne burrow]

its up to 4

[rich verge]

ye youve turned toxic now

[manic trail]

i have this

[azure isle]

[azure isle]

your goal

[bold geyser]

totally fine for now

[nocturne burrow]

thatll keep u going for now

[azure isle]

is to get 3 and 2

but not now

[manic trail]

kk

[azure isle]

it is GIGA rare for average joe

[manic trail]

yea oka

[nocturne burrow]

go in your engravings menu and put grudge, kbw, raid captain, and adrenaline as your favorites

[manic trail]

are these useful for me

[nocturne burrow]

that way when u get a new stone youll know right away if it has the engravings ur looking for

[manic trail]

or are these for lower levels

[neon rivet]

Use it and change on npc

[nocturne burrow]

radiant honor can be exchanged at 5:1

for the ones u need

[manic trail]

ah kk

kk

[bold geyser]

marginally stronger grudge bonus, plus the 1.5% AP bonus

[manic trail]

ooh okay

bt

oreha is also used for exch right

[nocturne burrow]

ur using abidos now

so yes all oreha 5:1 as well

[neon rivet]

yay 1700 il now im poor

[bold geyser]

generally unless they're offering at least 3:1 you're not gonna wanna ever take the lower material

[manic trail]

and these?

[manic trail]

kk

[azure isle]

save for alts

[bold geyser]

many chests will offer 5:1, which doesn't matter at all because you can upgrade the lower to the upper

[nocturne burrow]

ur past this too

[azure isle]

you need purple shards

no you cant exchange shards,

[manic trail]

but when i use powerpass on em

i wont need it no?

[bold geyser]

anything roster bound, just save in your roster storage for the time being until you specifically need it. no benefit to cracking ahead of time

[azure isle]

uh

[nocturne burrow]

you can only powerpass 1

[azure isle]

not sure

voldis to kurzan uses honor shards right?

[bold geyser]

yeah

[azure isle]

yea so do save it for alts you wont powerpass

[manic trail]

wait

after this one ends

i cant get a powerpass for another char?

[nocturne burrow]

or was it 2

@azure isle

[azure isle]

huh

you only get 1 powerpass

[nocturne burrow]

ok yea

[vast oriole]

you will get a new powerpass like everyone with june update

its 1 free powerpass per region per event

[manic trail]

yea i will be able to use it on an alt right

[vast oriole]

yes

[manic trail]

kk

[azure isle]

powerpass isnt the only way to raise alts

[manic trail]

and what is?

[azure isle]

u dont have to wait 3 months in between each pass

[nocturne burrow]

you can auto 1580 now right?

[vast oriole]

well if you want to suffer

[azure isle]

knowledge transfer

[vast oriole]

no, you need to do all msq

or pay for knowledge transfer

[nocturne burrow]

rip

[manic trail]

hm

[vast oriole]

and then you need to pay for the 1580 to 1640 honing

it doesnt cost gold but still cost mats

and your sanity

[nocturne burrow]

at what point is it even worth it to alt

[vast oriole]

and most likely if youre a new player, you wont have enough mats to do it before the next event comes

[azure isle]

you pay gold to complete story quests on your characters, doing so up to voldis gives you gear until 1585, then you need to hone to 1620 and transfer to 1640, game begins then

[nocturne burrow]

surely youre net negative for a while

[bold geyser]

if you're bored, and rich, and want to play more loa

[vast oriole]

its worth if you do with events

[manic trail]

okay im not gonna bother with that

id do lifeskill instead

[bold geyser]

if you only raise up alts with powerpass and express, thats as efficient as you're going to get

[nocturne burrow]

thats the gameplan tbh

no chance im getting gated 2x instead of once

[vast oriole]

if you really want to play more, raising alts from 0 is worth

but like

yeah

[manic trail]

ya i see

btw

[azure isle]

solas run

[manic trail]

i love the hell system

its so fun

cant i get more hell keys easily

[azure isle]

ouch

[nocturne burrow]

lol

[vast oriole]

its 3 per week

[azure isle]

if you pay you could

[vast oriole]

its already too good

[azure isle]

otherwise no

[vast oriole]

hell is a giga goated system

[nocturne burrow]

best part of the game tbh

[manic trail]

yea i rly like the system

[vast oriole]

unlucky they removed paradise for t3

[nocturne burrow]

but full run with no effects sucks

[manic trail]

somehow i managed to get like floor 91

[bold geyser]

happens every season, and everybodys starting out at the same level

[manic trail]

my first attempt

[livid fossil]

T3 got shafted lol

[azure isle]

first run?

[manic trail]

yeah

is that intended

[vast oriole]

no

[azure isle]

[bold geyser]

wealth is unfortunately pretty dookie before t4.5 🙂

[manic trail]

btw w the excess mats from paradise

i use them to exchanage for the stuff right

[nocturne burrow]

[manic trail]

paradise essence

[azure isle]

exchange what for what exactlye

[manic trail]

yea

[bold geyser]

[nocturne burrow]

[azure isle]

i beat a 4.3m with 2m power

[neon rivet]

iam

[nocturne burrow]

whats the bottom floor in hell?

[azure isle]

100

[livid fossil]

Do I try to use bound gold to get to 1710 on my gk or will I have one more reset before event ends

[nocturne burrow]

50 is like the minimum for decent rewards right

[nocturne burrow]

this the last reset

[neon rivet]

f

[azure isle]

you have better options

thats 1640 key tho

[livid fossil]

Don’t have enough scroll to 1610

Ah is 31-40

[nocturne burrow]

yea i hit the abidos fusions lvl 9 wealth

its still carrying me to this day

[azure isle]

[errant pendant]

serca requires more ilvl and it came before cathedral 🤔

[nocturne burrow]

just say lf log in area chat or look for someone and join them

[lavish mortar]

Yea idk why lols

[rose wren]

they're new, so they're under lvl logging

[manic trail]

i should go to ch 1-2 ight

[nocturne burrow]

area chat is across all channels i believe

so if someone invites u u might switch to join them

[vast oriole]

because cathedral is a char bound gold raid

[rose wren]

they r

[vast oriole]

(in kr )

[nocturne burrow]

i wish exotic relics werent literal garbage

[azure isle]

exo what

[livid fossil]

Dear arna please send abidos to me thank you

[nocturne burrow]

blue excavating loot

[vast oriole]

i dont even have enough for myself

[livid fossil]

I just ran out lol thought I had to much

[azure isle]

[azure isle]

im selling like 700 abidos to buy skins

hop on EU to buy

[livid fossil]

lol

[errant pendant]

that can't be the reason why lol

[lavish mortar]

They wanted something easy for casuals most likely

[vast oriole]

could be

[livid fossil]

We going to raids that only character bound gold I would not mind that

[rose jewel]

a lot of gold for ONE character, a good amount of cores, perfect for the "BUT I NEED TO HAVE 6 CHARS OR IM BEHIND FOREVER" allegations

i'll take the char bound gold any day of the week

[errant pendant]

how much are we talking 🙂

[rose jewel]

more than 1 less than infinite

[livid fossil]

lol

[vast oriole]

we dont know if we will have the same

reminder that kr doesnt have roster bound gold, only char bound gold

so maybe there will be a change

[azure isle]

id prefer it be char bound

[vast oriole]

i prefer roster

but yeah

[azure isle]

it feeds my purpose playing an alt that way

[vast oriole]

yeah

i just prefer honing my main thats all

[azure isle]

+25 bard

[vast oriole]

shes not even in my top 6

very far from main

[azure isle]
