[neon rivet]

wait wut

i tought it skipped to 1640

[rose wren]

kt always require honing

[rose jewel]

anyway, KT has to be used for every single continent, first, and second, you only ever get free instant progression (story and gear) up to 1585, then you have to start honing, yes north kurzan gives the t4 gear but you cant go to t4 unless you hone to 1620

[vast oriole]

only powerpass do

[rose jewel]

so if youre at 1300 something you gotta pay like 50k+ or something for 1585, then a couple weeks to a month (or one honing sitting of half an hour or something if you have stocked up mats, a LOT of mats) to get to 1620

[knotty mist]

how do i get rid of this?

[rose jewel]

then 20 to 40 you just hone transfer to the new tier

you dont

open a ticket and ask support if they can

[lavish mortar]

Make new character
Move item to that character
Delete character

[neon rivet]

ok got it... i'm waiting for next pass xD

[bold geyser]

reasonable

[azure isle]

its 32.200 gold from 0 to voldis wdym 50k from 1300 to 1585

misinfooooooooooooo

[neon rivet]

i have one with 1610 and was creating other that is like 900 something

[knotty mist]

smart, no extra slots atm though lol

[rose wren]

close enough lol

[bold geyser]

with t3 paradise gone you're 100% better off just boosting chars w/ passes unless you're desperate or crazy or

[azure isle]

not even close

[neon rivet]

i just want to do content

[azure isle]

0 to 1580 is 32.2k theres no way 1300 to 1580 is 50k

[neon rivet]

dailies on 1 char feels boring

[bold geyser]

knock yourself out theen

see you in 2 months 😄

[sinful compass]

whats the point in all the excavating stuff i get if i cant sell it

[bold geyser]

can you dismantle it

[sinful compass]

likme should i just dismatle it or sum

[rose wren]

dismantle?npc?

[sinful compass]

yes

should i?

[tender flicker]

Set to auto dismantle anything below legendary

[rose wren]

if u have better tools why not?

[sinful compass]

alrighty

[tender flicker]

Long as your current isn't really bad

[sinful compass]

ye i have legenary

[tender flicker]

Decent tools are worth repairing

[bold geyser]

but like good legendary?

[rose wren]

rarity only increase the amount of effects u can have

[rose jewel]

and the max % it can have

[tender flicker]

Can you screenshot while hovering your shovel to show the stats? Lost ark screenshotting is weird since it just goes to a folder rather than ctr c so sometimes I prefer to shift+windows+s

[rose wren]

thats steam screenshot lol...

[bold geyser]

i prefer they draw what they see and send it from paint

[livid fossil]

lol

[tender flicker]

...is it?

huh

[rose wren]

u press f12?

[azure isle]

f12 is steam, prtsc is game

[rose wren]

ah guess sg reconfigure prtsc that it doesnt go to ctrl c

[azure isle]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Lost Ark\EFGame\Screenshots

goes here as a file

[rose wren]

i kno

[hot dock]

does the login bonus gets sent to universal storage if i dnt claim?

[bold geyser]

usually

[hot dock]

meh

[tender flicker]

should

[hot dock]

gues s i redeem then

[paper walrus]

daily login bonuses will not be sent, playtime rewards will

no reason not to collect them

dont be lazy

[pure basin]

anyone know how to increase the rowen faction rank? with the weekly event and w/o?

[hot dock]

it's not that, wanted to save the processed destiny stone for a lower % tap

[rose jewel]

hunting people down, but gl even meeting a single soul, and if you do hope its not a whale

in short, you live off weeklies

[pure basin]

gotcha is it only these that are weekly or are there weekly quest we can also do?

[rose jewel]

thats dead, literally

[pure basin]

which weekly are u referring to

these with the exclamation?

[paper walrus]

yes

also press alt r to check what you can do to increase points

[pure basin]

the first one is the scheduled one, is the 2nd one not a thing anymore right?

[hot dock]

guys which one

[rose jewel]

pinned message to find best options

[hot dock]

i think 2 but just need confirming i checked the pin

[lavish mortar]

Id go right

[hot dock]

oki ty

[weary oyster]

can you buy golden frog using bound gold?

[balmy plank]

We wont know for sure until tomorrow. I imagine you can use Roster Bound gold

[lavish mortar]

Id imagine only for the 100k gold bound selector

The tradable stuff is probably tradable gold only?

[astral root]

I think this is how it worked last frog

[coarse apex]

Is it allowed to play with a second steam account to "boost" your main? I now have 6 chars and I want to try out more but it would be detrimental to my progression to have 7th char that doesn't provide gold.

[balmy plank]

Its a grey area. Its "technically" not really allowed but its also very common and the chances of catching a ban are low but it has happened in the past.

Kind of like jaywalking across the street

Imo building & funding an entire new roster just to funnel to a main is not worth the time and investment

[astral root]

At that point just Bus low level raids imo (assuming it is high enough)

[coarse apex]

Is there a point in having a 7th char on main? I wanna play sharpshooter but 7th char would just take up resources

[balmy plank]

You can play it with all the resources from your roster like cards, card bonuses, honing resources to improve it. After you earn gold on 6 chars you can buy raid bonus boxes for free too

You just cant earn gold from your 3 raids

[coarse apex]

I buy raid bonus boxes for free on 7th char?

[astral root]

Imo the only reason why I would do it is to paradise funnel

Netherkeys > cards and engravings

[livid fossil]

All that collection shit you have to do on alt is not worth it

[coarse apex]

Oh yea I forgot about that you get some roster rewards from paradise

[astral root]

The material funnel at this point is so low nothing else is worth it

[livid fossil]

Once t3 funnel dried it was jover

[astral root]

Gem generation is too inconvenient and low amount wise

[coarse apex]

Isn't that even more bannable? 😂

[astral root]

Advertising/soliciting busses

And pilot bus are

[coarse apex]

What is a pilot bus? Also how would people know you are bussing?

If not some kind of adv

[balmy plank]

Someone logs into your account and does the raid for you

they pilot your account

[livid fossil]

Sketchy shit @balmy plank

[balmy plank]

If someone is bussing they just make a locked lobby with a basic name these days. Party Finder was become a slop fest of advertisements so they banned the advertising of busses

[balmy plank]

yessir

[bold geyser]

outside of just pushing to push what are the meaningful breakpoints for ilvl coming up?

[nocturne burrow]

yo so im 1699 and a gold gated for 1700

+20 ah'd everything

and everything is +18 regular honing except my pants

do i just keep ahing past 20 for everything or

[bold geyser]

?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

[bold geyser]

basically just AHing to the moon

[nocturne burrow]

yeah im wondering does it matter what i focus or

cuz the pants are 1695 +17 +20

everything else 1700 +18 +20

[lavish mortar]

Dmg: ah weapon
Ilvl: ah armors

[bold geyser]

focusing something up to 30 is better than splitting it evenly

but other than weapon no it doesn't really matter very much at all

[nocturne burrow]

is that so?

[bold geyser]

you get a bonus at 30 and at 40

[lavish mortar]

Yes you get a stat boost for hitting level 30 or 40 AH

2% and 3%, respectively

[nocturne burrow]

thats for optimizing stats rather than ilvl im assuming

[lavish mortar]

Optimizes both tbh

[nocturne burrow]

well per resource

[lavish mortar]

If you want ilvl you just start with armor, rather than weapon

[bold geyser]

the AH costs dont change until 30 anyway

[nocturne burrow]

idk if im gonna make it lol

.84 off of 1700 and 4k gold left

but im SO good on mats

[bold geyser]

so splitting 5 levels on one piece and 5 levels on another costs the same as 10 levels on one, without the bonus stats for free

[nocturne burrow]

if everything is 1700 except one piece which is 1695, then i need 5 lvls across whatever armor to hit 1700 right?

[bold geyser]

yeah

[nocturne burrow]

and assuming low juice then its like 5ish taps per level?

[bold geyser]

8ish

though grace will variably help

if you juice on grace then yeah it evens out to average of 5ish

less if lucky

[nocturne burrow]

i have like 24 scrolls left

[bold geyser]

scrolls stop being useful after 20 you need new scrolls

[nocturne burrow]

lvl 3 scrolls

[bold geyser]

ah 🙂

[nocturne burrow]

wow so im like 50k off

rip im not making it

am i better off spamming regular honing and hoping one lands?

[bold geyser]

trying to be careful about this

yes you are better off trying for regular honing if you just need one level in a pinch

but if you don't get it it is not a big deal and FOMO will destroy you if you let it

[lavish mortar]

If youre that tight on gold, yes
Rng is your only out

Ah is consistent, but is pricier

[bold geyser]

but also its 17->18 so its the better bet for 5 levels costwise anyway 🙂

[nocturne burrow]

fml

i should probably cap out on glaciers breath then huh

[bold geyser]

normally no

depends on what you have to gain by getting 1700 tonight

[nocturne burrow]

the challenge express rewards and access to 1700 gated event shop items to dump all my currency on before reset

and guardianknight challenge rewards

i have enough gold for 3 attempts

im thinking i fill up glaciers breath and pray 8% lands lol

[rose jewel]

just upgrade the pants to 18

thats the very tldr of this

you have to get them to 20 later for tier 4.5 anyway, like

and you can use books as well

[nocturne burrow]

ok i know this is splitting hairs but

i have 4 attempts

and 17 glaciers

do i do 3 raw to build up artisans

well, with scroll

and then dump glaciers on the last one with max artisan

or just spread it

[paper walrus]

by default you should be juicing every grace when you can, only juicing non grace taps if you know youll have extra

[nocturne burrow]

jesus i did it

[lucid axle]

tfm ends this reset right?

im being told its being extended but i dont see it on the post

[lavish mortar]

tfm was extended a month

[lucid axle]

oh

intresting

ty lol

what does it mean by this then?

[lavish mortar]

that is now outdated

[lucid axle]

ah lol was it a twitter post?

[lavish mortar]

more or less

there's an ingame announcement now as well

[lucid axle]

anything else being extended or thats it?

been stalling on creating my GK on my account so havent actually logged in game yet lol just been sitting on character creator

[lavish mortar]

that's it

[lucid axle]

btw are the scrolls worth for AH21-30?

maxroll hasnt updated ther calc yet so im not really sure

[minor briar]

i think for every grace ye

last time i calc'd

assuming ur buying all mats, think its anything under 2k for armor scroll

[lucid axle]

kk yeah i assumed it made sense since its not to crazy in price

[nocturne burrow]

now that my souleater is 1700 should i transition to nights edge?

i was told nights edge > fmh after ark grid

[lucid axle]

with balance patch coming sometime in the next few months ppl believe that they could be close

[minor briar]

apparently fmh is highly rated in kr now? according to psnow

so.. play whichever u like

[lucid axle]

unless you have selectors i would just play with what you want rn

[nocturne burrow]

i do have selectors

[lucid axle]

at this point i feel like i can never believe KR data

but FMH is better for brawl so thats probably why they think its better since its all about the vibes with them

[minor briar]

well its not even data.. its just top players opinion lol

[lucid axle]

but we'll see when it comes to us

yeah its just pure vibes lol

[bold geyser]

does the current pp end tonight?

[nocturne burrow]

@bold geyser

i havent rly figured out ark grid yet, i need to watch a video but

[lucid axle]

i think tfm is the only extended event

[bold geyser]

daaaaamn

[nocturne burrow]

i got a legendary selector and 4 purple so

not sure what to use them for

[lucid axle]

ok yeah ark grid in general needs you to pair 3 specific cores to work a build

so just chill for now till you get something you can work with

can check the guide to see which cores are used

[nocturne burrow]

im not sure what video to watch

the ones ive found on yt arent souleater specific

[minor briar]

do u udnerstand the system first tho?

[nocturne burrow]

no so i will watch a general

will that help with souleater specifically?

[minor briar]

not but u can ask in se chat after

with wat set up u can go with wat selectors u have

and u'll get what theyre saying

or a better understanding

[nocturne burrow]

ok got it

now that im 1700 what should i dump all my event shop tokens on?

[lavish mortar]

if you only have one selector you can't really do anything with arkgrid yet

[lavish mortar]

what are you options lol

[bold geyser]

just drop a screencap imo

or a couple if you need

[nocturne burrow]

well for mokoko i can get some honing mats or a stone engraving kit

or uncommon > legendary rando astrogem kit

[lavish mortar]

just screenshot everythign available

:V

[minor briar]

windows shift s

[nocturne burrow]

itll be a lot of screenshots lol

dont u guys have the same shop

[lavish mortar]

idk what you just unlocked at 1700

idk if mokoko or vet shop

[minor briar]

none of us looked at the mokoko shop

only vet shop lol

[lavish mortar]

i also dunno how many token u have to play with

[minor briar]

and i just got off

[nocturne burrow]

this is mokoko

[minor briar]

17..

[nocturne burrow]

yes only 1

i mostly need help with shadow

thats why i just listed the 3 items

[lavish mortar]

uh

if you have alts teh books aren't too bad

[minor briar]

if u need shards, shards, otherwise reds maybe

[lavish mortar]

as is i'd probably get reds or shards

[nocturne burrow]

heres

regular shadow coin

ill show superior after exchange

[minor briar]

buy all weekly stuff

u have enough

[lavish mortar]

buy all weeklies yeah

[nocturne burrow]

heres superior

[lavish mortar]

starting with the superior tokens

you still have like a month or something with that event shop i think

so i wouldn't stress so much about it

[bold geyser]

but you can only get so many superiors a week, so i'd prio them

[nocturne burrow]

yea i got the superiors now

what should i prio with them

im good on mats for a while

[lavish mortar]

relic engraving

if no gamba

[bold geyser]

its all good

[lavish mortar]

then i'd go destiny stone, astro gem stuff

[minor briar]

u still buy

cuz its weekly restock

[lavish mortar]

also you're not good on mats

ever

[nocturne burrow]

ofc lmfao

but i figured if smths more important now

i can only buy 1 thing from superior shop rn

should i gamba relic?

[lavish mortar]

that's the fun choice

[nocturne burrow]

or the most painful

[minor briar]

just save them

u might want the ark grid stuff

[bold geyser]

the only weekly thing is the superiors

[minor briar]

but also, book prices r gonna drop hella after reset so

[bold geyser]

everything else you can save til you decide

[minor briar]

even if u get a good book, gonna sell for meh

[bold geyser]

so just buy out the regular shadowcoin shop, and hang onto superiors til you've got as many as you can

[nocturne burrow]

wtf is dye reagent even for

and is growth shop perma?

[bold geyser]

painting skins

[lavish mortar]

yes

[nocturne burrow]

holy decisions

ok thx again guys

[minor briar]

not really decisions when u have enough currency lol

at least for shadow shop

[nocturne burrow]

yea i meant for superior lol

ill save til i hit a wall on something

[random finch]

is 503 ne souleater a lot better then 413?

[minor briar]

should ask in se chat

id:customize

[random finch]

ty ty

[bold geyser]

damn does elysian not count for guild credit any more?

[tender flicker]

503 to me feels smoother to play since the damage isn't as backloaded and you don't have to sweat the meter as much since you can just instantly decapitate out of it. If you're 1700+ ilvl, you can give it a try in trixion. I don't know if the dmg is necessarily higher than 413 played correctly in theory, but afaik people prefer the playstyle at least.

[celest grove]

weird, I was thinking about this yesterday. did it ever? I think it didn't and only counted for the weekly mission points that replaced unas

[bold geyser]

used to

[elfin nymph]

what is trm

tfm

[tender flicker]

The first mode, a limited time higher difficulty version fight

1740ilvl minimum to enter

[celest grove]

"The First Mode" difficulty for a raid. It has only been for thaemine and Kzeros so far. Mostly like a challenge mode. They think its a bit too hard, and they dont want to nerf it just so more can clear it.

[tender flicker]

Its a bit more accessible with ark grid and gear soft reset making it easier to outgear the fight. The other day I'd say around 4k cp felt like the lower end of combat power for people in lobbies while doing g2, for dps at least. Technically doable with lower, but players are really gonna need to have hands.

[quick linden]

can someone remind me what this event give ?
didnt use it and its expiring today xddd

can i just slap it on main and claim reward or does it give any honing buff or something worthy

[celest grove]

yes

a lot is roster bound, theres like a few random character bound stuff from what i remember. the character bound stuff might be tied to completing the raids. the "Hone to X ilvl" should be roster bound

[quick linden]

is there any honing nerfs tied to it or something ?

[celest grove]

nope

[minor briar]

put on highest ilvl and claim wat u can

basically

[quick linden]

W

thank you guys

[celest grove]

yeah sinc e youcant claim the raid mats anyways unless you somehow have a kazeros or act 4 left and finish it before reset anyways

[tender flicker]

Most of the important stuff is roster bound and tied to ilvl anyways

[quick linden]

only honing mats are ''good'' from what i claimed
i dont need astrogems / books / ( bracelets is biggest troll system )
average char is sitting with those astrogems

[nocturne burrow]

should i trade my ebony cube 3rd unlock tickets for a hell key or

is 3rd unlock better rewards

[strange viper]

cube = guaranteed value, hell keys = rng, bound mats.

[bold geyser]

its a good bet, but not a guaranteed one (like cubes are)

[rose acorn]

• gem prices are pretty good rn so cube might be worth more most times

Books are dropping rapidly as well so netherworld keys loose some value as well

[mystic sierra]

If I reach 1710, I’m still a mokoko ?

[balmy plank]

No

Standard Mokoko buff only goes to 1700

Mokoko Bootcamp is done so the leaf doesn't matter

[mystic sierra]

So if I want to upgrade some alt (as a returning player) it’s better to keep my main at 1700 ?

So I can still benefit the next mokoko event ?

[balmy plank]

The standard Mokoko buff doesn't really do anything for you

Next Mokoko Bootcamp should start up in June I think. So if you reeeaally wanna be a Mokoko for it stay under 1710 I guess. We won't know what the cut off is until it's actually here

[mystic sierra]

I just reached 1700 with my main but dry af with all my material and gold ark grid with karma etc… so want to get a decent power before continuing

So I can hone to 1710 and still get the next mokoko camp right ?

(If I see I’m upgrading way faster than expected , yeah I will go past that I think)

[balmy plank]

Again. UNDER 1710 and we don't know what the next bootcamp cutoff will be until we get ut

You have to stop at 1709

[mystic sierra]

Will do that then thx for the info

[fair crater]

Hey lads, just wanted to quickly ask, its been around 4 years since i last touched lost ark, how is it looking nowadays? Could someone just start a new char and have some solo progression fun or is the game still a daily/weekly hellhole with as many chars as possible?

[balmy plank]

You can easily do solo stuff. Solo raids exist now

Chaos dungeon gives bound mats do the only thing you get from having alts is more gold

[fair crater]

Would starting a new char now provide some solid grinding hours or would I run into timegates pretty fast?

[balmy plank]

Well you're asking the day all the progression events end so you have no choice but to do a long grind

Even with the events there is still quite a bit to do solo

[tender flicker]

Better than before, but kinda awkward timing since a powerpass and express just ended. Next planned for June. I guess depends if you’re a story enjoyer since you can progress through most of T3 with story, but vast majority of people are in T4.

[fair crater]

I'm just really looking for something to play and pass time and grind, currently in a hellhole of waiting for the next seasons of other games and stuff, so I figured i'd check in with lost ark again and see if its better now than it was back then

[tender flicker]

The newer raids are group only, but you have a good chunk of solo raids available before them.

[minor igloo]

The gameplay loop is still the same, with some solo raids to do when you're in the deadzone/gatekeptzone

If you have the uncontrollable urge to do all your dailies because it gives max value, then the game is the same as it was back then

[tender flicker]

They’ve made changes like turning chaos dungeon drops character bound but increasing the amount, 1 chaos dungeon and guardian daily instead of 2

Overall less grindy

[fair crater]

I wouldnt call it uncontrollable urge necessarily I just had a lot of fun with the game back then but after a pretty quickly amassed 360 hours, i just dropped it because the timegating and complete group reliance for new content was annoying

[minor igloo]

Gear is still relatively time gated.

Like clearing the raid once does not auto complete that system

[gray verge]

*It's also alleviated by multiple avenues of earning materials now

[fair crater]

Ah damn it, the timegating is what bothered me the most, if thats still heavily present then not much point I suppose

[gray verge]

the weekly lockout on stuff is still there though. You'll get that with MMOs though :L

[minor igloo]

Some systems were sped up, but honestly you'll run out of gold/mats sooner that you would hit the timegate wall unless you're gigawhale

[fair crater]

yeah not looking forward to that i dont mind spending 500 hours on something, but spending 50 hours and 5000 hours of waiting time is not my jam haha

[minor igloo]

Like I said, the gameplay loop is basically the same

Raids are still just weeklies

Dailies are just dailies done in less than 10 minutes per character

The main difference is that you don't really have to do everything unless you're going full degen hyperefficient

[weary oyster]

server up kah

[mystic sierra]

If you want to know, I stopped at 1480, did all the story up to 1600 with nearly no mats, took me like 1 day full from morning to night following the story all in solo

[fair crater]

doesnt sound too bad but it also sounds like 2, maybe 3 days of grinding and its back to daily/weekly waiting without much doing inbetween unfortunately

[mystic sierra]

The cap is at 1680, still have a long way to go, since before 1600 they give you the stuff to go through the story

After 1600 you start honing, not really hard but without event I guess it will take me a long time, but plenty of time to learn the raid

If you are not hardcore, 1 month of game atleast imo

[fair crater]

1 month of grind or 1 time of waiting inbetween resets

[mystic sierra]

From 1600 to 1680 1 month total I guess ? The solo shop + paradise gave me a lot of mat

[dim pulsar]

Aaaaaa, story give u 1585 ilvl gear, at that point u have to hone to 1620 (thats the pain zone as we dont have paradise here now, so u gotta gather fusions somehow) then u transfer into t4 and here at 1640 off u go, it depen how much u can do (farm) and get lucky to 1680/1700

I did 1640- 1700 in 4 weeks, with me beeing a bit lazy

Tho that was with express event up

[wet tide]

maintenance or my game bugged?

[pale flame]

?

[wet tide]

nvm just maintenance ig

thought it was before 12

[azure isle]

maint isnt over yet

[dim pulsar]

Its not just weekly one

[azure isle]

its over now

[vale gate]

do i invest in books or accessories from market?

[mellow mauve]

books

[tender flicker]

We just got frog, gonna be a good time for books

[marsh grove]

where to turn in mystery orb?

frog is so cheap

book prices in the gutter, grudge was just 120k, saw cursed at 39k

[spring spruce]

paradise exchange

[marsh grove]

tanks

oh wow

looks like it paid off to grab the 2nd orb on each acc

no buy limit lets go

[primal herald]

guys, i just finished my relic adrenaline recently

which is my first high value relic

only other ones i ahve are like stab status and mp eff which are cheap af

after adrenaline i should aim for grudge next right

my main uses grudge raid cap and keen blunt

and basically every dps in the game does

but i dont really care about alts i would rather get the most impactful one for my main

which i guess would be grudge since it has the highest value right

[somber steeple]

is this worth it?

i dont have any finished important relic engraving

[marsh grove]

everything out of that is tradable

10% to hit selector

[somber steeple]

yeh

[marsh grove]

u can check prices and decide if u wanna gamble or not

server just came back up

[primal herald]

woah its 10% for selector?

damn thats alot

[marsh grove]

prices are volatile

[pure basin]

where are the spots for mining in nukman valley in south rimeria

[primal herald]

thats about a selector every 100k gold

[pure basin]

10% like the 40% in paradise tapping

[primal herald]

and you can pick a 200k book

[somber steeple]

btw i should go netherworld right?

[marsh grove]

200k books dont exist anymore

[primal herald]

why not

wdym

[primal herald]

ah

well

its just because everyone bought the stuff from the frog

[somber steeple]

well they really dropped huh, might be time to finish my books

[primal herald]

give it 2-3 days and its gonna be back

or at most it will be back after event is over

[somber steeple]

bump

[marsh grove]

yeah

then they announce ancient books :_

🙂

[somber steeple]

aint no way

130k +

bang

[primal herald]

im gonna cry if they announce ancient books

[pure basin]

where do u trade in the april fool orbs too

the paradise guy?

[primal herald]

yes

oh wow it has no limit

i can get 2 of them

beacuse i had 2 items

[tardy grail]

shii kbw around 150k!?!?

[somber steeple]

ANOTHER ONE??

[verbal hawk]

wait werent we supposed to get a gift ?

[somber steeple]

i just made 230k profit on this week, this frog event is crazy

[marsh grove]

yeah like anything else in the game

if u get lucky u make gold lol

[somber steeple]

well, first time i get lucky bro hahaha

never got a good fate ember or anything like that

so feels good

which key should i pick for the hellkey?

netheworld better but more risky right?

[primal herald]

i think im picking normal key

i saw some guy on reddit made a gold value per key and netherworld was even less than a blue key

cuz most of the time you die floor 1 and leave and get like 1 single card selector

basically nothing

[somber steeple]

yeah but what if?

[primal herald]

netherworld is only better if you get all the way to floor 80 and get the gems

which is like

0.00001% chance

to win that many 50/50's in a row AND get to high floors

[somber steeple]

i got to like floor 20-30 and engravings made me a lot of money even if they were bound

[narrow rock]

Wait, where was the update gift? I can't seem to find it

[somber steeple]

but yeah i might go with normal hell keys thou

[somber steeple]

could have to re log maybe?

i didnt got them yet but its my first log

[marsh grove]

what time is weekend maintenance?

[narrow rock]

maintenance for the tfm hotfix? Im not sure what weekend maintenance is, i might be missing smt

[lavish mortar]

There's another maint tn at 12am pst

[marsh grove]

ah

that sucks

couldnt play much tonight

and wont be able to play much tomorrow

maint starts as soon as I get home

z

[weary oyster]

can u buy frog using bound gold?

[marsh grove]

only silver and 100k single time selector

[weary oyster]

what

raid captain become 50k

the login screen so clear why

[pure basin]

wait how do u check this?

[weary oyster]

bug?

[marsh grove]

by looking at it

[weary oyster]

i didn't see any silver

oo i got it

[pure basin]

oh interesting because the amount shown in the shop doesnt reflect the same as the amount i own, unless char bound gold doesnt count

[spring spruce]

it doesnt count

[pure basin]

o i see ty

[minor grail]

Where is the after update rewards?

[vast oriole]

Product storage?

If its not there, it wasnt distributed yet

[lean heron]

cursed doll or adrenaline is more universal?

[minor igloo]

It just depends on your classes

[faint cedar]

^

Most classes run both

[tropic peak]

https://lostark.bible/character/CE/Maximusfistus This character getting gatekept from normal serca. It's just roster level I guess?

[vast oriole]

prob

just do your own lobby and have patience

[tropic peak]

Sad

[wintry leaf]

is the frog dcing anyone else? everytime i click it the client crashes

[vast oriole]

no

try verifying files

[vapid bluff]

is this worth buying or wil every relic book eventually fall below 100k?

[balmy plank]

We can't predict the future. Some engravings are still a ways off of being 100k

[minor igloo]

That's up to you to speculate

[limpid moth]

you can buy it with roster bound gold and or wait until last day of event

[balmy plank]

We earn gold super easily

[minor igloo]

We're not responsible for predictions

[balmy plank]

I dont see a reason not to buy it. If you lose 20k? does it ultimately matter?

[primal herald]

what does serca nightmare give extra compared to hard mode?

just the 10k gold?

it seems like the gear crafting mats are the same amount

theres no emblem or title or anythinhg thats permanent right? it was just doloris that was 1st week

[vast oriole]

more gold, more cores

[vast oriole]

chance for broom

[primal herald]

i c

[somber steeple]

special honing right? i got 3 order 17p astrogem and the 3 chaos ones at 14p bc they are leg

[balmy plank]

I would always take special honing

[vast oriole]

(i take destiny stones)

[somber steeple]

almost 3k special honing dayum

this week paradise was worth it

W

[elder anchor]

where do I turn in kazeros nutsack for the keys?

[vast oriole]

paradise exchange

was written in patchnotes

[somber steeple]

i should try tapping weap with special honing right? or do i go armor

[vast oriole]

weap

[proper moon]

Always weapon

[vast oriole]

you dont need more than +20 for the transfer

[somber steeple]

aight ty

yeah i just realized

since the pop up

but it didnt show up weeks ago when i honed the silver into the +21 headpiece

well it happens

ig

[pure basin]

whats the best avg payout for the april fool orb? for the normal key or netherworld key

[somber steeple]

id say normal

[pure basin]

ty

[vast oriole]

i got dogshit

[lavish mortar]

i'd save them for serca gear taps

[somber steeple]

yikes

[lavish mortar]

😐

EV wise, unless you're doing 24-25 free tap, it's better to save

[somber steeple]

i used 2 for normal leg keys, turned my 3 weekly keys into 2 leg and 1 epic, pretty nice tbh

btw anyone knows which CP is needed for serca hm?

[vast oriole]

needed idk, but pf likes 3.5k+

[somber steeple]

yeah im nowhere around that

do u get more cp after transfer?

[lavish mortar]

nope

[somber steeple]

i see

guess ill have to finish books then after prices drop a bit more

will the book prices stay like they are now or should i wait?

[pure basin]

can the agros event be entered as a group? or is it like chaos gate

[shy chasm]

They are already at a pretty good price to buy imo

[somber steeple]

im missing like x9 grudge rn

[vast oriole]

can enter as group

[somber steeple]

they are at like 130k no?

[shy chasm]

Is grudge the only one you need

[somber steeple]

no

but everything is expensive

since RE db

well unless i go

[shy chasm]

[somber steeple]

for the cheap one

[vast oriole]

well adre went down

[somber steeple]

i dont remember

[shy chasm]

Ambush master and cursed dool are extra cheap

[vast oriole]

grudge is going down slowly

[somber steeple]

ambush

yeah

this are my current engravings

do i finish adre first then?

[vast oriole]

i would

[shy chasm]

You can buy out ambush easy too

[vast oriole]

yea

[somber steeple]

so adre > ambush > and??

[shy chasm]

And maybe cursed fool too

Doll

[vast oriole]

ambush master are 40k on eu

idk about na

get ambush first, its cheap

cd is also 65k

[somber steeple]

is it dumb to wait a bit more of time?

since its first day of event

or prices will stay pretty much same

[vast oriole]

i dont have a crystal ball

but people are buying frog today

[somber steeple]

nah im asking since previous events

[vast oriole]

sooooo

[somber steeple]

since i wasnt in last frog

[shy chasm]

Prices will go back up after it ends but probably not to where they were

If you have the gold now no reason not to 65k for cursed doll is a pretty good deal

[gusty kraken]

currently got a roster of 1710 1x, 1700 3x, 1680 3x.
from a veteran POV, would it be better for me to spread the honing to get atleast 6 gold earners to 1710 first or to just hone main while waiting for the hell keys loot to hone the alts

[lavish mortar]

paradise for alts focus on main is what most people do nowadays i feel like

[balmy plank]

Hone 1 main imo

Spread yourself thin and itll take a long time to get anywhere

[lavish mortar]

if you enjoy the newer raids (serca/kaz) can be worth pushing 1 1700 at a time but meh

1700 not a bad spot, they'll get a new raid (abyss dungeon) in june

[faint cedar]

1710 is ideal for maximum cores

But that is a bit heavy on investment

1700s not bad

[gusty kraken]

ahh i see, yeah i was trying to park my alts on 1710 to just hopefully farm astrogem to funnel main and gain some core in the mean time until i decided to hone them up

but i think i will hone my main now, everyone seems to agree to hone up a main first and use hell keys loot for alts

[faint cedar]

I wouldn’t touch alts outside of paradise until you get your main to like 1730

With decent cp

[gusty kraken]

alright that would be my goal for now

also rush honing might be bad if i dont have friends to carry i guess

as cp would be so low

[vast oriole]

well

yes and no, because advanced honing gives a lot of cp

but yeah

[gusty kraken]

ahh didnt realize that

also one of the other reason that i wanted to spread out the ilvl on the roster is to also experience the same raid alot to basically remember the pattern better

but i guess its fine, i can just watch vod and do my main

[vast oriole]

personally i dont learn with vod

but thing is

your alts wont get accepted anyway

even if you hone them

so its not worth

[gusty kraken]

same tbh, i learn from getting beat by the boss by alot, i think my best raid is now serca as i do learning party with a friend so i can remember alot of patterns

really fun

as the other lower ilvl raid, its just reclear where i barely saw any pattern so yeah, floor pov on some rarely seen pattern

[gusty kraken]

true that

[faint cedar]

Weapon adv honing to 40 gives giga cp

Armor is meh whatever

15-20 per piece from 30-40

Adds up

+20 +40 =1730. With new gear at serca no point overhoning , so just focus on that

[gusty kraken]

got that!

i am in the middle of my honing session, trying to use the upgrade calculator on maxroll
for some reason it didnt show any books on the optimal mats, does it means that i should just raw tap it?

[minor igloo]

5x armour is very close to 1x weapon

[lavish mortar]

did they ever add books to calc

[gusty kraken]

im not sure about this hahaha

[faint cedar]

Makes sense

[lavish mortar]

doesn't look like they did lol

[faint cedar]

Now that we have them, when I did my 5 ah 40 armors I bought a ah40 scroll for every max orb tap

Felt like it saved me time, but I didn’t track the math

I think I spent around 550k-600k with buying abidos for those 5

[short burrow]

do we have a list for new tier hell key rewards?

[celest grove]

https://raimundomedeiros.github.io/helleffcalc/

[short burrow]

thx

[bold geyser]

can't see them in your screenshot but make sure costs are filled out above or else the calc won't see any savings in using books

then be sure to re-calculate 🙂

(i would be shocked if books were ever not suggested they're very cheap for what they give you)

[gusty kraken]

ahh i dont see any fields where i can put up the price of books, also the books there are only up to the 15-18 book, might be outdated

[bold geyser]

it is, i've complained about it at length on your behalf trust me

although ify ou check show-material-values it should give you a number in the breakdown of what the cost would need to be to be worth it, which is just as good

[gusty kraken]

ahhh, theyre all above the cost-to-be-worth-it

so does that mean raw tapping would be the most cost efficient?

[amber grove]

where do we redeem these?

[tender flicker]

Really? I thought 15-18 books were pretty cheap

[tender flicker]

Paradise exchange

[lavish mortar]

they're doing 19/20

[tender flicker]

Oh

Scratch that then

[amber grove]

should we take netherworld or hell key?

[bold geyser]

almost certainly hell key, netherworld probably has a better upside, but the chances of finishing a legendary nether key are so very small

[amber grove]

yeah makes sense

if someone wants to swipe, whats the best thing to get?

t4 founder gold pack?

[lavish mortar]

i'd wait for a steam sale to get founder packs

and best thing to get depends on what you need/what goals you have

[raw thorn]

Is the bound gold section in frog event supposed to use bound gold?

[lavish mortar]

roster bound, yeah

[raw thorn]

ah roster

thx

[lavish mortar]

does not use char bound

[raw thorn]

Yea thanks

[bold geyser]

one of these chests is worth twice as much as the other one and it's not the one that you think

[lavish mortar]

mid if you wanna hone weapon

[bold geyser]

yeah i'm outta fusions

but the mid chest is worth ~210k vs 120k

[lavish mortar]

yeah wealth and stone chests are just worth so much now with the lack of tradables

but they're only worth that if you'd buy em on AH

so, grain of salt n what not

[rose jewel]

What's the rush for honing, unless you wanna start doing NiM

[quartz jewel]

Anyone know the main stat range for accessories?

[bold geyser]

no rush, just a value proposition 🙂

[quartz jewel]

Ty

[amber grove]

where can I find the gem chests in the store?

[livid fossil]

Normally people with eyes probably would find it

[amber grove]

is astrogem chest worth it?

I ve gotten the 3 chests on the left back to back to back

and got so many 2 floor jumps

did they nerf paradise secretly or what

[rose jewel]

Yeah for you only

Grab fusions

[amber grove]

?

[rose jewel]

What gem, what store, and why cut the image

[amber grove]

I remember there were lvl2 gem chests or something like that no?

[vast oriole]

in bonus room

it expired

if you mean those

[amber grove]

yeah those

thank you

[tender flicker]

Think there are gems in some of the new packs, but gem prices have kinda been trending down anyways

[rose jewel]

Let my dude here keep the servers alive ty

[bold geyser]

astrogem chest is super lousy, unfort

[amber grove]

just wtf

[glossy swallow]

floor 20+,
could've been worse

[minor briar]

my keys last week were pretty bad too, more than half my blue keys were floor 20

it is what it is

[amber grove]

my 2 legendary keys gave me worse loot than a blue key COMBINED

[rose jewel]

Welcome to rng

[azure isle]

is it preference to buy books only if you can buy 5 or multiples of 5 at once or buy 1-4 whatever you can afford and build up over time

[rose jewel]

If you can't get a bonus / you don't need them rn, why would you use money on them, today's a special case tho since frog so

[azure isle]

if you dont buy any you cant finish it

gotta start somewhere somehow

my 2 characters are waiting on daily gem grind (that i funnel to gk) and ark grid updates to get stronk so i have no use for the gold besides buying gems (im not doing that) or just slowly getting books up

[rose wren]

engraving?

[azure isle]

ye

[rose wren]

drop exist

[azure isle]

what drop

[rose wren]

like defeating raid

[azure isle]

ur comparing rng to 100%

[rose jewel]

1-4 books won't do jack, yes you can buy them but if you're gonna buy, gotta do it in the span the frog is here, as many as you can

Or

Maybe after frog is gone they will go lower

Or maybe not

Who knows not me

[azure isle]

1-4 of awakening sure does jack, but if i could afford 1-4 grudges thats 100% gold saved in the future

speaking for current prices

[rose jewel]

As I said, if you're gonna buy, do it with frog

You may win or lose

And no I'm not talking about the RNG ones or frog shop one

[azure isle]

should i hold the 100k until the last days?

[faint cedar]

Over the next 5 weeks you’ll get 40 books from frog, some of which being selections. I’d wait to buy for now

Provided your mains 1740

[azure isle]

im nowhere close to 1740

[faint cedar]

Save your gold up for like halfway through event then decide what you wanna do based on selectors and market value

What lvl are you

[azure isle]

20

[faint cedar]

Erm

[azure isle]

6 books

[faint cedar]

So you get all but 2

[azure isle]

ye

[faint cedar]

so 30 books

I’d wait to buy until the market starts rising so you have the most knowledge on how many selectors you have and how many rng drops you get

But that’s personal preference

Spend your gold how you see fit

You could always buy til 15 and let hell/drops fix the rest so you don’t get dupes

[azure isle]

Notes

[random axle]

gold or destruction stone ? whats more worth considering red stone cost ?

[tender flicker]

1730 new key?

[random axle]

yeah

[tender flicker]

If you were going to buy reds, that box is worth more

But I'm too poor for that being an option personally

[random axle]

how much gold is worth 15k red stones ?

[tender flicker]

15000/100

[random axle]

can't access maket in the floor

[tender flicker]

x whatever market

if eu

[vast oriole]

if youre eu

[random axle]

so 15k red is worth 495k ?

[tender flicker]

If you're in a position to be buying reds, I guess

Thats kinda out of most people's budget

[random axle]

but the saddest is that it is still only 5 weqpon clicks....

[tender flicker]

yeah

[celest grove]

yeah, reds arent actually worth it if you arent ina rush to hone. i wouldnt personally value them very high but i have other stuff i can do besides hone my main

[random axle]

took the gold

ty for the discussion

[vast oriole]

i wouldve taken destiny stones

i need lv30 leap

[minor briar]

u eventually wanna hone weap so shouldve taken the reds

[tender flicker]

hyper damage on a sup

[vast oriole]

yeah i wouldve taken red aswell

gold isnt even that good

[minor briar]

15k costs a lot and u need to stock up

[vast oriole]

since you cant use char bound gold to cut asstrogems

[tender flicker]

I think gold is fine

[pure basin]

is the new cards in the wandering merchants up? is there a way to check which one has which cards

[random axle]

my wepond is already 19 at 60% pity, so i ixll get close with time to 20 and probably stop there for a while

[tender flicker]

scroll through these when it rotates

[pure basin]

wondering if there was a list somewhere so i can keep an eye out for those specific regions

ok u can see the merchants in the codex

Valtan - East Luterra
Akkan -Arthetine
Vykas - Anikka
Brel - South Vern
Thaemine - North Kruzan
Kakul Saydon - Punika

for folks trying to complete KLC

[bold geyser]

"today"? or like "the next little while"?

looks like we have a few weeks 😄

[somber steeple]

guys is honing x6 +40 AH still worth it or should i gear transfer first?

[hard lodge]

i think you cannot gear transfer until u do 40 ah

[bold geyser]

^^

[vast oriole]

yeah you need +20 and 40ah to transfer

[somber steeple]

ooooh

i see

mb then

ty

[lavish mortar]

You HAVE to be +20 normal and +40 AH to transfer

[tidal slate]

how do you get to 140 evo points? hopped on an old 1640 char and got confused by the 120 points

[lavish mortar]

Get to 1660, and transfer to ancient aegir gear

[tidal slate]

ah... i see

thanks

[tender flicker]

Specifically the armor pieces, do weapon last since it is just for letting you hone past +20/transfer at 1730

[tidal slate]

oh nah, i'm not honing her up, just got confused asf and had to ask

[rose jewel]

Tried to make it as clear as possible that 1- market is very volatile and anything can go up or down at any time and 2- that no one here can read the future, yes we expect that books will go down a bit more but no one ever knows

[neon rivet]

?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).

[silk rover]

anyone know if turning in the haal's hourglass reward enhancements get refilled after I've exchanged them for tickets? I have a ton of runs to do with rested bonus

[bold geyser]

i dont see why not

but they're not so common that you would expect to fill it very quickly

[lavish mortar]

Yeah you can keep getting them as long as you arent full on them
So doing extra chaos you should always exchange for cubes

[bold geyser]

i would just run your haals then worry about it after

[weary oyster]

where to get phoenix plum?

[balmy plank]

You can get a few each week in the solo shop

[weary oyster]

hmmm

[granite pelican]

anyone else lag spiking?

[next garnet]

so I used to use my mouse autp clicker for shit like these and after 1 update it just randomly stopped workinng inside game, is there anyway around that? cba clicking 400 times

[balmy plank]

You just click and it would be done by now

[next garnet]

not sure what you mean

[weary oyster]

does dying from argeos event will decrease durability?

[lucid axle]

what gear does +25 become after transfering to serca

[balmy plank]

+18

[lucid axle]

[minor briar]

instead of screenshotting, pasting and then typing ur question, u couldve been done is wat he meant

[bold geyser]

def <50 clicks

you'll survive 🙂

[rose jewel]

442/3 = 400 aint mathing for me

[next garnet]

it's not just rapid clicks tho, I click > animation time > click again

rather use bot and go afk

[rose jewel]

and then people complaing about being banned

[dim pulsar]

[rose jewel]

coz they cant click 100 times

[bold geyser]

if 3 minutes of inconvenience is the worst thing to happen to you i envy you greatly 😄

[rose jewel]

not even, you can animation cancel it

[next garnet]

I wouldn't mind if I get banned tbh, the only sreason I still play this mess is just cuz of addiction and not for fun

[rose jewel]

the door's very big, feel free to leave or keep being a "slave"

[next garnet]

and pretty sure people used ahk all the time during ivory for spacebar mechs and shit so i doubt they ban for auto clicking, but they do they Ig

there's not many days left anyway for the game I rather sit it out and watch the circus till the end (if I don't get banend for auto clicking first Ig)

[bold geyser]

gonna be alright little buddy

[astral root]

My understanding is that you would need to hardwire a turbo button with no software

But um

Have you considered

[bold geyser]

dont overthink it they're just depressed

[faint roost]

Is wandering cmmerchant bugged?

[bold geyser]

in what way

was fine earlier today

[faint roost]

Like in na, i click on arthentine, shows no data on what the merchant is selling

[paper walrus]

yes, you are dying

[bold geyser]

is the vendor in arthetine up? 🙂

works on my machine

[faint roost]

Anyone an expert at foraging, whats the best options to have on my relic foraging tool.

[tender flicker]

Should have prio in pins

[silver zephyr]

guys I am returning I think I got a few chars on 1640 some about 1660 so basicly all chars are now completly trash right? what changed in about the last year/ what classes would u recomend pushing. If I'd have to guess reaper is still as bad as ever

[lucid axle]

depends on what you are looking for

reaper is fine

[silver zephyr]

well I'd guess sups are still lacking. And with a reaper finding a group will be hard especially after they arent with lvl 9 gems

[lucid axle]

are you fresh fresh coming back or do you have like 1 character already built?

because i dont think that gem really means anything

[tender flicker]

Reaper is fine, though high apm and high enough mobility that you can get yourself into trouble sometimes. Lunar in particular is pretty punishing if you don't consistently land back attacks.

[lucid axle]

supports of course ppl look for but if you are just playing it to find easy lobbies and not actual care or play properly youll end up finding yourself sometimes getting gatekept

There isn't as much of a support shortage as previously far as I can tell, especially in the 1700-1710 range on NA. Higher there is a bit more demand for support. That said, its not like the old days where people are desperate for any support with a pulse. Supports are most likely to get flamed if they don't perform well.

[silver zephyr]

well I had with reaper 1-2 years ago the problem to get lobbys. I got quite a bunch of chars and not that much time so grinding for all cahrs to lvl 9 gems is more or less impossible for me

[lucid axle]

im confused are you talking about t4 lvl 9s?

[tender flicker]

All lvl 9 gems aren't really necessary for the vast majority of content though

[silver zephyr]

yeah I got only vl 7 I think

[lucid axle]

lvl 7s are fine they just impact your CP

[silver zephyr]

Well yeah and this new arc system with the point I dont have all the points ofc

[lucid axle]

gems were never a heavy requirement espically with ark grid now

[tender flicker]

The kinda awkward part is we're expecting the next express event in June, as the last one just ended.

[lucid axle]

yeah the dead period i find weird

[lucid axle]

lobby gatekeeping i dont think ever was a thing from personal experience but at least as of rn doesnt happen anymore

unless ppl are doing like TFM leaderboard and stuff

[tender flicker]

Sometimes people have class preferences, but I don't think they specifically gatekeep based on class as much since we have combat power and titles to look at.

[lucid axle]

yeah ppl still like seeing double syn classes or crit syns in there party

although i believe SG plans on reworking synergies so idk if itll still apply in the next year

[silver zephyr]

Well I am thinking about taking arcan int othe roster but she is high investment I think?

[tender flicker]

I still remember them saying they were gonna consider reworking entropy back in the day too

[lucid axle]

kinda did with ark passive

[silver zephyr]

or making classes male and female

[lucid axle]

high/low investment classes arent really a thing anymore

gems usually determine if a class was high/low investment and i think every class now requires all 11

[tender flicker]

Arcana is strong and has somehow dodged the nerf bat for a good while, cons are very high apm/carpel tunnel simulator, having to learn cards to some extent, and no push immunities afaik

I guess we got slayer 231 now for what thats worth, gem wise

[lucid axle]

yeah its the only build rn like that

[tender flicker]

Arcana might be a bit tough for new/returning players to pickup, but people here generally recommend picking a class based on what looks fun/interesting rather than picking based on meta

[silver zephyr]

well if I did that I would be playing 10-15 chars activly

[lucid axle]

yeah espically getting used to all the new mechs it can be a bit akward with classes that require some extra knowledge

[silver zephyr]

I had arcana in my roster since the start was my first class but got latter jetzt a side char and is also I think around 1620-1640 now

but cant look it up since servers are down 🙁

[tender flicker]

Anything 1620 (+19 on akkan gear) can transfer to 1640

[lucid axle]

https://lostark.bible/stats/raids?boss=Corvus+Tul+Rak&difficulty=Hard&patch=mar26&filterBy=ilvl&type=dps&minIlvl=1730&maxIlvl=1740

[tender flicker]

Though if you happen to have a lot of T3 materials/juice, some people like to do some advanced honing with that since some stuff like shards/juice can't convert up

[silver zephyr]

yeah but somewhat in that range I dont know anymore if I transfered her or am just before

[lucid axle]

you can check this out if you want to see what classes are doing well rn but remember nothing ever stays on top

"most" classes that do well usually get hit with a couple of nerfs

arcana so far has been like the only exception somehow

[tender flicker]

Ballpark, some classes vary in performance depending on raid/gate pretty significantly

[lucid axle]

yeah not exact depending on how the raid mechs work or how many cutscenes happen can be a huge factor in dmg for a lot of high uptime classes

[tender flicker]

And some classes with awful dps like combat readiness make up some of it in other ways. In tfm my party got hard carried by a blue gunlancer's utility.

[lucid axle]

every party had a blue GL for TFM on release

[tender flicker]

Some of those pulls felt more relaxing than some of my hard runs

[silver zephyr]

oh servers are back I can look now

my arcan is 1640

[lucid axle]

every character can get to 1640 with minimal play now that it only costs silver and doing story

so don’t worry to much about which character you have has the higher ilvl

[tender flicker]

Hop back on and get a feel for your characters, do some raids, paradise

[silver zephyr]

oh my roster is better lvl whise than I can remember

1673 reaper
1685 reaper
1643 wd
1691 Val
1640 Summoner
1640 arcana
1640 sf
1640 Guardian knight idk made her during event never tuched again xd

[tender flicker]

oh

thats a bit more recent than a year

[silver zephyr]

just keem it like that no?

[lucid axle]

in terms of performance summoner is the only class that performs poorly currently rest are fine or good

[tender flicker]

What are we keeping like that?

[silver zephyr]

well I played for 2-3 weeks few monnths ago and created 2 months ago I think the new class nothing more

well I got a totall of 22 chars xd

I think I keep the mains somewhat like that

[tender flicker]

If you wanna play a giga roster, you can slowly work characters up

but

The game is kinda encouraging a less alt heavy approach nowadays

Like more chaos dungeon materials, but non-tradeable

[lucid axle]

personally anything under 1680 i wouldn’t be to pigeonholed on it

relatively cheap to get to not to much time unless karma has been done on them

and yeah game is currently moving in a direction that discouraging multiple alts

unless you want to play them funneling the gold to your main won’t be that much better if we get the same gold update KR gets

although usually we are always different from KR

[tender flicker]

People usually work around 6 mains since thats what will be gold earning

[silver zephyr]

well I wont play it anyways to stand on top of the otehrs just for fun if I got time so if it aint that fast it aint deep for me. Only "problem" I have is that I just dont wana play all time solo xd

[faint roost]

You have 8 1640+ chars, but not a single 1700?

[silver zephyr]

yes xd

[lucid axle]

anything below 1700 tend to be only reclears you’ll almost never find learnings even in servers for raids below it

[faint roost]

Why didnt you hone to 1700 with the challenger express?

[amber grove]

what time does the maintenance end?

[silver zephyr]

I am in game atm

[dim pulsar]

Just ended

[silver zephyr]

well I wanted to but didnt have mats etc and then other things came by irl so I didnt have time anymore to play xd

[lucid axle]

is there news when the KR balance patch comes to us?

[sterile lance]

is there a chart with 4.5 paradise rewards? old site still has T4 stuff

[tender flicker]

https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/resources/paradise-guide#hell-header

[sterile lance]

ty

[faint roost]

I have 77 bound tool crafting parts, but i cant use them to make tools?

[celest grove]

Bound mats can only be used o. The farm section. In crafting

Idk how you even get bound kits for tools

[faint roost]

So what do i use bound tool crafting parts for

[celest grove]

Making repair items for your tools forget the exact name but restores it's max durability

[vast oriole]

No, they dont announce in advance usually

[gray verge]

KR only gets a week's notice before balance drops

[worn stirrup]
