[late bobcat]

against chromanium, how do i know which of my skills impair the boss to break his armor? the ones that say stagger mid to high?

[kindred token]

you dont use impair it destruction that you need

[slate zephyr]

ok yeah maybe they either didn't have time to work on GS, or really didn't need to because she's mostly very much covered

[late bobcat]

not sure if i understand that

[slate zephyr]

part break is different

from impair

look at the skills you got

stagger is the purple bar armour

impair is the boss casting bar

[royal zenith]

is there anyway to save character preset to use when game launches? like does the file get saved to my computer :c

[slate zephyr]

part break is phase skip/fast-track and minor stagger.

[slate zephyr]

yes

steam folder

[royal zenith]

ummm under customizing?

[late bobcat]

i understand the purple thingh that makes em immune to kb and ccs for a while but i still dont get what i should be doing against that boss, i already beat him but i took like 15min of free dps and i odnt think thats the way it is done

[royal zenith]

thank you!

[slate zephyr]

no purple bar doesn't do that, bosses are just naturally immune to it, unless state so otherwise.

also what ilvl are you?

[late bobcat]

465

[kindred token]

@slate zephyr the blonde color on that fighter preset is really nice tbh i finally find a good blonde color for my chars

[slate zephyr]

what class? also engravings?

[late bobcat]

sharpshooter and my engravings kinda suck big d

got lv1 master brawler and divine prot, thats all

[slate zephyr]

yeah that's to be expected, also your ilvl not really that high

like you wanna kill him in under 10min, probably need 480 lol

unless you got lucky with gear/engrave and have perfect boss build

also learn his mechanics and patterns too

and take advantage of it a lot

[unkempt kelp]

When replacing tripods on my gear, should I just replace with the skills I have selected for my attacks? I'm still new to the game and unsure how the T3 tripod system works.

[rigid crescent]

hello how do you get this on inven?

[slate zephyr]

yeah go to the npc

can setup the notification for tripod so you'll know what skills you want drops

[kindred token]

fighter model

[unkempt kelp]

Gotcha, so it basically levels up the skills you already have selected?

[slate zephyr]

yes the tripods

[unkempt kelp]

Thanks!

[random vine]

What are the best PVP classes?

[modest patrol]

bard

[idle marlin]

is there a channel for the lore?

[blazing crescent]

blade

[lilac dust]

I'm looking for some information about guild roster size with each guild's lvl, do you know numbers ?

[modest patrol]

Starts at 30. Max is 100 which probably takes a long time to get to

[lilac dust]

I know it's 100 at max lvl

but how many people can join at lv 2

or lv 3 ?

[idle marlin]

Is there anywhere I can find the ingame story summary? Not the events that led up to the story

[slim plover]

30+4 per level iirc..?

[trim void]

Saintone has a big thing of lore

[lilac dust]

that would be 30 + 96

[idle marlin]

I read that but unfortunately it stops right where the ingame story begins

[trim void]

Oh ingame not sure about that

[earnest cargo]

so left my stronghold - but my xp bar is still showing strongholds not my own?

[slate zephyr]

can go to the memory room and watch the cutscenes

[slate zephyr]

report the bug to the forums.

[dire timber]

Can you counter a guardian raid during the attack or only the start?

[trim void]

yes some have attacks that can be countered, they glowed blue to show their attack can be countered

[patent kernel]

can you exchange this or what is it good for?

[golden lance]

Hes asking if you have to counter before they attack or can you counter mid attack

[lofty dagger]

i m stuck at king's tomb p4 quest, any help ?

[steep gust]

if u take the right door it is bugged

in beta btw

[lofty dagger]

aw lucky me

[steep gust]

song of escape and do it again

:<

[lofty dagger]

thanks

also do you know how to do that purple quest saying donate to the guild ?

[steep gust]

i have no idea since i dont have a guild in beta :<

[lofty dagger]

ok thanks again, see ya around !

[magic grove]

just asking for a friend
is there a way to remove all clothing from character?

[fallow crater]

How can you get outfits in this game for your class?

Also, can you queue for pvp without having to be at the pvp board?

[stable flicker]

What is a good area to gather resources? especially herbs

[thin garden]

one thing that I have to do sometimes if I haven't restarted the comp is manually go to the running processes and kill the lostark.ark process

[dire timber]

Yeah I'm wondering if you can counter it during the attack, if the attack has a long animation

[median ledge]

Where is this place lol?

[urban nimbus]

left of luterra castle. It's underground

top left corner is entrance

[median ledge]

Yep found it ty tho

[kindred token]

1 tips for that you can see they layers on the right side

[small plinth]

I'm from Asia REgin .. How i'm able to play lost ark?? any solution ??

[kindred token]

it either russia or EU NA(at release) , JP and KR is pretty much a hard case if you have friend in KR that willing to verify every times you ask him to then it should be doable

they technically has a taiwan or was it hongkong version coming soon too iirc by happytuk

[small plinth]

i dont have friends from KR

[small plinth]

if im using VPN then??

[haughty peak]

what time does beta go down?

[kindred token]

that i dont know the server not even show yet if they are as easy as RU/Steam ,Happytuk still working on it to release the game

but that server has pretty much the highest potential i guess(not to mention the lowest ping just cuz well if you live in SEA taiwan is gonna be much closer than JP and KR) just because we know JP and KR is really strict

[small plinth]

ah okay

[glossy lintel]

im from SEA and i dont feel any lag playing gunslinger with 200 ping on cbt which kinda surprising, only need vpn to download the game/unblocking steam region lock but afterward i dont use vpn anymore

[formal anvil]

Ye it's not that bad in pve

U will notice gun switch delay in PvP

[quaint ledge]

[stark fulcrum]

I did honing for the first time and when I went from level 1 to level 2 it said my magic defense would +87, but when I check my magic defense it's only +70 (I calculated before and after honing), why is it different?

[random vine]

What classes are S-tier in PvP?

[errant root]

Is Lastra Forest bugged? (Beta) I'm supposed to kill 8 ghost nights in an area but there are no ghost knights, only little Fire Pest and a lot of them

[spiral thistle]

Yes, you need to take left or middle when you get your second option

[errant root]

okay so I guess I have to do the dungeon again

which means I have to die cuz no way I'm gonna sing a song with all these Fire Pests 😄

thx

[maiden locust]

Should I use my awk skill always when it is off cooldown?

[raven halo]

i don't need to focus on another character to unlock engravings for LM while waiting for LM right?

like, if im waiting for some classes, i can do whatever until they show up just save gold and mats no?

[jagged arch]

Are the weapons/armor classes use in the lvl 10 test mode cash shop skins we can get later?

[tribal stone]

is it possible to transfer a char between server on the same region?

[golden lance]

No

[golden lance]

You can grind mats and gold for the other classes, yeah. Still have to get to 50 and do dailies though

[raven halo]

yea, that i figured. but the engravings are account wide and shareaable between all of them no?

[tribal stone]

and if i see that correctly if u have a char names "xyz" on one server on all other server the same region that name is locked?

[raven halo]

as in there's no "best" class i can farm engravings on that drop more on one vs the other while im waiting

[formal anvil]

No but if player base drops they might merge server, in that case u will need to transfer old character into new

[golden lance]

No difference

[lofty gulch]

anyone else got issues trying to load the russian lost ark website?

[raven halo]

i did earlier, needed a VPN just to make it work

[lofty gulch]

ah ok thanks, what vpn did you go for?

[raven halo]

expressvpn

[lofty gulch]

i keep reading about exitlag - does that achieve the same thing>?

[glacial sleet]

I've been trying to follow some gearing guides while just starting up on RU the other day, but I'm stuck trying to get weapon crystals to continue leveling my gear. I'm barely 600 and I'm struggling to find info about how to efficiently acquire these items

[zinc jewel]

Hey guys - I just hit lvl 50 in Vern and am trying to get the powerpass as fast as possible. Do I need to keep doing the blue world quest line?

[rain elbow]

gotta do the queens favor quest and you should get it in the mail

got like a half hour left tho

[spiral thistle]

If you jsut got to Vern there is no possible way to get Power Pass

[zinc jewel]

Yeah I figured. Just did a Chaos dungeon, that was fun. What other endgame content can I try real quick in the next 20mins?

[rain elbow]

guardian raids take about 10 minutes

[zinc jewel]

Alright, how do I access those?

[spiral thistle]

You need to finish the guardian guide quest

You should get it while you just get everything like chaos, probably straight after

[rain elbow]

if your in vern its the board back and to the left of the chaos dungeon statue

[zinc jewel]

Thanks

[pine badge]

Hi everyone! Is there any update about release date for Lost Ark? I mean, any information about a possible anticipation...

[zinc jewel]

Wife and I managed to kill Ur'nil by ourselves (Gunslinger and Bard) about 30 seconds before servers died xD thanks for the help

[grave crane]

I've seen alot of guides that talk about endgame and ALL the things that you can do, but is there no recommendation as to approach like hit 50>do daillies weeklies>do island a>b>c do purple quest 1>2>3

not to spoon feed but just to kinda piece together what one wants to do

sorry its amazons fault for giving 2+months now to do nothing but theory craft for launch

[zinc jewel]

Sorry misread your question

[grave crane]

np np realized

I also understand getting 302 gear up to be able to enter country above vern; can't remember name and yada yada.

[spice orchid]

is there a guide for what to do when u hit 50 in RU?

[kindred token]

https://papunika.com/beginner-guide/

and ofc explore islands

[urban nimbus]

You’ll get 302 after shushire completion. You don’t necessarily have to get 302 before.

[delicate trout]

is this the help channel if u cant stop playing?

[blazing aurora]

Is the event on the RU server still going on?

The catchup/new character reward thingy

[scarlet pond]

yo guys i cba to wait 5 months for lost ark to come out in eu is it worth playing in russian servers im from uk so im wondering if the ping will be bad or not.

[tame jacinth]

worth

[wraith storm]

is beta over?

[serene magnet]

What config files should we be saving, I assume they're the character creator and or options/keybinds? Anyone know where they are or what they're named?

[delicate trout]

yes

[unique cloud]

are any free vpn to play in russian version

[hybrid vector]

from the weekly points which gold chest tends to be the best one?

[old lotus]

will yoube able to buy platinum pack avatars from the AH later on?

[bronze lance]

is this your question?

[primal bear]

yessir, but i figured it out just now

thanks anyway brother

[bronze lance]

ok yea there's a icon under the minimap you can queue from

[bronze lance]

ive heard the largest one

Its been a while for me personally tho

[neon blaze]

Hi guys, so in saintstone guide, there’s this part where it says you should clear tower on your alt first. Does this mean I can just clear F1 on alt, and all rewards in tower from F1 to F50 on my main would be mats? Or only F1 reward is mats

[covert venture]

Hey guys. Sry for this question but.. If I delete a Char... is the Name instantly free for all? Or is it (Some other games do this) reserved for some time to my account?

[hybrid vector]

thank you!

[bronze lance]

i believe it deletes instantly if under lvl10 (basically before prologue ends)

otherwise there's a wait time, once char deleted, name should free up

[serene magnet]

I've read in a few places Amazon reserves the name for 120 days, regardless of level.

[bronze lance]

^ if thats the case then its an amazon thing (and i don't agree with it)

120days is way too long

[serene magnet]

Yes, obviously I couldn't check the 120 days, but I know for sure, if you saved a name in Beta, then tried to make an alt after deleting the char with the name you saved, you couldn't.

They were all under level 10 and I deleted 3 chars to triple check.

[bronze lance]

your first clear rewards are different from the second clear. You get character bound gear progression mats on second clear. And I believe this is the whole tower

[covert venture]

So .. if i create a char at EU/NA release for name reservation and delete it after some time because i want to make another char with its name someone else could get it instantly if he is lucky?

Damn.. so its the customisation then 😛

[rancid spindle]

[worldly osprey]

I don't think the names are reserved across WW servers is it?

[rancid spindle]

the username incident

[old lotus]

will yoube able to buy platinum pack avatars from the AH later on?

[hoary swallow]

Hi guys, I played bard during beta and found it very fun but didnt have time to try a lot more, I was wondering if there was a dps class that also brought useful buffs to the groups? Was thinking of what dps Id wanna play if not taking a support role with bard

[serene magnet]

I don't think so, if the 120 days thing is legit then the name is just tossed into the void for no one to use. I planned on saving some names for classes that aren't out yet like Lance Master and Sorc, but predicting the drop date of new classes exactly 4 months ahead of time so you get the name the same day as the new update...is frankly inconceivable.

[bronze lance]

on other regions we would rserve the name on low lvl alt, then when a new class came out we would delete and create new char (or name change)

[worldly osprey]

I don't think so

[bronze lance]

Its a possibility

@old lotus

depends on amazon's stance

[worldly osprey]

they made the platiunum founder pack for a reason

if all the perks can get afterwards, what's the point of buying it now in the first place?

[bronze lance]

it would be limited

[serene magnet]

They might sell the perks individually for more money, or sell them at a later date like a year after launch as a anniversary celebration. I imagine they are exclusive though and I feel like I've seen the word "exclusive" already. So probably not.

[bronze lance]

You would only have X amount in circulation after preorder packs close

so yea they would be worth something down the line

unless they decide to resell it in future

which i think RU did?

[old lotus]

in the other versions you could buy them for gold and such AFAIK

[bronze lance]

ye

[worldly osprey]

According the website, the founder pack perks are exclusive

[serene magnet]

There might be a couple but Gunlancer is the one that sticks out to me. It's a semi support semi DPS class and brings a lot of party utility while still being a DPS. It has absorb shields, attack buffs, defense debuffs, and can make mobs take more damage.

[covert venture]

then it would be reserved for longer? mhh guess i should try it then
ty 😄

[astral hedge]

does anyone know for launch will we be able to buy a powerpass right away or will we have to level one character to 50 first like in beta?

[worldly osprey]

I would love to buy a shit load of PowerPass if available immediately at launch!! 😆

they should make that a perk for the founder packs

even if just the ability to buy at launch would be a great compelling reason to buy founder pack now

[elfin condor]

If you can buy them at launch, it doesn't make a difference if you're a founder or not. You can just buy crystals.

[bronze lance]

Extremely unlikely for us to get boosts at launch, unless amazon throws us a curveball

[pallid arrow]

Hey friends are there any Russian players here? How do I go about buying a level 50 boost in RU server, I see the options but its obviously not in english

[zinc jewel]

Can anyone help me decide on an alt? My main is 100% going to be Gunslinger, I enjoy playing mechanically challenging classes with very active gameplay and great DPS potential. Not sure what other classes fit this description

[random vine]

Is Blade or scout more noob friendly? I can't decide which to play as my first character...

[upbeat wraith]

Deadeye lol

[zinc jewel]

Nahh I'm good on deadeye, don't want to focus on shotgun and rely on back attack

[craggy sequoia]

Just started Lostark Russia today, how do i change the voice to English? or is that not possible

[random vine]

What is the best current RU PVP classes?

[lone idol]

It's in the settings I think, check out #ru-lost-ark-help

[craggy sequoia]

thank youu

[lone idol]

No problem
https://c.tenor.com/GT41VRym-8MAAAAM/look-smile.gif

[craggy sequoia]

is it possible to make sound off when i alt tab?

[desert scarab]

Hey Anyone has a Idea why my Connection Terminates everytime i start RU Lost Ark ? With and Without the english translation

[lone idol]

Vpn

[desert scarab]

using exitlag as vpn

[lone idol]

Repair game

[desert scarab]

i try it , thanks

[outer sun]

Will the beta testers for EU be able to still play or is the game shut down until release?

[bronze lance]

Beta is over and data is wiped

[outer sun]

wtf

i put so many hours into it thinking betas could play it until the official release date

[maiden locust]

Now you can do it all over again when the game releases

Lmao

I know ur feel

[desert scarab]

So i repaired the game and i still have the same problem,anyone has a idea what else it could be ?

[glad latch]

u need to put both the launcher and the game using the vpn

or else it wont work. completely close out of mail.ru and shit

and then relaunch it once the vpn is rerouting both

idk if that makes sense lol its hard to describe in words i guess

[lone idol]

Who told you this was a thing? Honestly feels like of silly to think like this when no other MMORPG has done this in recent times

[winged oxide]

But.. you can create a fighter class and a mage class with the name you want and not advance them until the class you want comes out?

[serene magnet]

Yah I need more info on how Amazon reserves names. Is it locked for 120 days after creation or when the char is deleted. Cause if it's after you delete it...

[winged oxide]

It’s locked for 120 days after you delete the chat

Char”

[glad latch]

[serene magnet]

OH. I see what you mean. Yah that makes way more sense. You person, are my hero.

[winged oxide]

Anytime

[solid dome]

does energy consumption apply univerally to all raids and dungeons or some for each?

[slim plover]

only chaos dungeons have energy

you have 100 energy, each run consumes 50 for chaos dungeons

guardian raids have 2 souls you can collect, each run is 1 soul etc

[solid dome]

when does gear start looking unique for character?

cause i barely got kinda cool lvl 50 gear just for the game to throw another copy paste set thats 302 gear score...

[slim plover]

when you get a cash shop avatar

[daring plinth]

Ru servers down?

[delicate trout]

nope, working fine

[last hill]

is there a difference buying lost ark on amazon vs steam?

[hearty charm]

No, Steam is direct. Amazon will just send you a product key to redeem on steam

[last hill]

so just to clarify amazon will send you a key to activate on steam correct?

[hearty charm]

Correct

the only "benefit" of Amazon is you technically dont have to pay till launch. some people used Amazon pre-purchases to get into the beta and then refund after.

[last hill]

okay was wondering since im considering biting the bullet to get some founders perks, but the game isn't available in my region

[daring plinth]

I see no servers in my game

Normally I do have no idea why

[solid dome]

@slim plover what do you mean by that?

I seriously cant get any unique armor unless i buy it???

[slim plover]

theyre mostly recolors, so yes

but you dont buy it with $$

just spend gold on the auction house

[shut pasture]

^

[worn mica]

do i need a vpn to play in RU?

[crimson wigeon]

any West Coaster know which server has better ping, RU or KR

[solid dome]

how i get gold im not far enough to know that yet lol

[shut pasture]

Not sure, but you might want to go for RU regardless. KR is not easy to get access to, and also not easy to keep your account on.

[crimson wigeon]

excellent thank you for the advice

[solid dome]

what about jp servers?

[misty tree]

Sell stuff on AH.
To get gold from doing dungeons u need to be t3

[solid dome]

oh, so is gold like that premium currency thats also used to trade with in warframe or something?

where its free if you try to get it hard enough

[misty tree]

Kind of yea

[shut pasture]

Ehhh ish but not really. Platinum is a premium currency, Gold in Lost Ark is not. Gold is earned through gameplay. You can exchange a currency for it, but its not like Warframe

[solid dome]

oh ok cool 😄

oh ok ok

still good though

i love games like that

[misty tree]

U can get totally get gold for free. I havent cashed at all but i have a decent amount right now

Just takes time

[plain spade]

is there a way to look up abyss and raid boss mechanics?

[shut pasture]

On Youtube mostly

Can use Papunika.com as well

[plain spade]

is there a youtuber whose videos you can recommend or just search them by bosses I come across?

[winged oxide]

Papunika.com has all the info you will need

[plain spade]

okay, thank you both

[balmy lotus]

If I buy a founders pack right now will I be able to play on the RU servers?

[golden lance]

those are 2 different servers. you can play RU right now for free

[winged oxide]

Ru is a different region

[balmy lotus]

Oh ok and were can I download it?

[winged oxide]

Do you guys reckon we can save our presets for launch?

[slate zephyr]

grab RU role in #navigation and check there

[slate zephyr]

go JP, KR is hard to get into

[slate zephyr]

yes JP is fine, a little more closer to America too

[balmy lotus]

im from South america, maybe JP will be better?

[slate zephyr]

hmmmm, that's a tough one....

try ping test

probably will be a little bit better

https://www.cloudping.info/ I think is the site

[balmy lotus]

thx

[summer raven]

anyone know a good vpn to use for korea servers?

[slate zephyr]

do you even have a valid account? check the pin in #kr-lost-ark-help for info.

[slow swallow]

i'm stuck at the end at a quest that says it needs to be level 50 and i'm 49 with 200k left on it so i'm tryikng to leave this area and do side quest but it wont let me go back to my ship it says portal portal needs to be activated anyone know what that means?

[golden lance]

you have to walk t your ship because the game cutscene teleports you and didnt let you get the first portal

[slow swallow]

thanks an also how can i figure out which sidequests are going to giv eme most exp? anyone i can check that

anyway*

[misty tree]

Manually check. Accept those with 10k + exp

[slate zephyr]

just do the ones in the later zones of Arthetine

[rapid spoke]

do bard mains normally make paladin alts?

or vice versa? because they share engravings

[misty tree]

Different class engraving. They get their engravings from accesories

[main jackal]

How much do these cost

If you don't pay for the plat founders

[slate zephyr]

we dunno the AGS prices yet

prediction of maybe around 20-25usd? this is assuming they do package sales with other goodies attached.

also you can just buy in AH with gold....assuming someone is selling it.

[main jackal]

So those are not considered legendary outfit?

[slate zephyr]

they are I recall...

I can double check later

actually let me log in, need to do racing soon

[icy cargo]

dumb question...how to separate item into stacks? i.e. potions i only want to take a few from warehouse

[main jackal]

If u hover over it should tell you how

I forgot the commands

[icy cargo]

oh oh dismantle...i thought that means destory the item lol

[misty tree]

Shift right click i think

[flat pelican]

Shift Left click but close

[slow swallow]

i just got to 50 and i saw a menu to do chaos dungeon but now i cant figure out how to get back to it

how do i oppen that menu to do the chaos again?

[maiden locust]

anyone know if RU still has the boost to level 50 right now?

[golden lance]

on map

[golden lance]

Its over for new players

[maiden locust]

[haughty peak]

wait u mean the 500 crystal boost is over?

when did they remove it?

anyone know what u can do with extra small armor crystals?

i got to 460 so im going to rohendel and dont need it to upgrade my gear

[flat pelican]

The normal payed boosts still here

[whole basalt]

is there a "stop movement/actions" command ?

[maiden locust]

League player detected

but no atleast i couldnt find that command in the option

[slate zephyr]

unplug your mouse

[misty tree]

Alt f4 . It should stop moving

[stable flicker]

What do i do with gems that i cant use

i got a lot of them in my inventory but when i try to use them i already got a better one equipped

[woven terrace]

trying to finish some giant's hearts, anyone know where on "Smuggler's Cove" aka Pirate Island Atlas that the wandering merchant spawns?

[misty tree]

Blue colour gems?

[stable flicker]

yes

[misty tree]

If u have tier 3 gems than u can throw the blue gems

[stable flicker]

okay

thx 😄

[pearl coyote]

He's a random spawn with several spawn points on the island, and a very long spawn timer

You basically have to run loops on the island for hours until he spawns. When he does spawn, he sticks around for a good chunk of time (I think about 30 mins).

On NA/EU launch, I expect people will announce when he spawns like the other wandering merchants

[woven terrace]

@pearl coyote thanks, seems i lucked out, found him pretty quick

[slate zephyr]

mid, bottom right or top right

every few hours

[woven terrace]

yeah, found him on the bottom right sort of

[pearl coyote]

nice, lucky

took me like 4 hours

[woven terrace]

gotta have some luck sooner or later 🙂

is there a way to focus farm nature stats? i'm 1445 on RU and have done pretty much every hidden quest and main quest past papunika, but i'm cock blocked by affinty quests that prevents me maxing out some NPC's

[pearl coyote]

https://papunika.com/virtues-stats/

[woven terrace]

awesome, thanks again

i have like 10 tabs of papunika open, but i've somehow missed that one

[pearl coyote]

great site

[main jackal]

how long does it take to do the stuff u need to do on your alts

[glossy otter]

Soo whats a good or best way to play the game if my country doesn’t allow the game. I prefer to play this in english instead of russian or korean 😩

[slate zephyr]

other servers has fan patches

but no english VO or full english community if that's what you care about

otherwise....still gotta maybe vpn to Amazon servers

[woven terrace]

tbh i think KR and RU has better voice acting. the English voices feel VERY cartoon network-y

[slate zephyr]

it does need improvements, but I think most of the problem comes from they are voices from the Alpha test, when much of the script/translations was still being ironed out etc.

like even the CBT still has many translations and grammar errors.

could be also mismanagement, where the VAs weren't exactly told how to act the scenes, eg. the recording director hadn't seen the ingame cutscenes yet.

[woven terrace]

yeah true

[glossy otter]

These are i guess in any country that the game is available in?

[analog pendant]

I’m not a fan of the Russian va personally

[slate zephyr]

ya

[analog pendant]

Though English was definitely scuffed, it was nice to hear it in native language.. it really isn’t great though. Can’t say for other servers as I haven’t tried them

[main jackal]

Atleast give us the option to change it to korean

[glossy otter]

But how di u get steam to see the game? Cause the store doesn’t show the game

[woven terrace]

if i could play Lost Ark with Korean VA and English subs it would be perfect

^for me

[slate zephyr]

CBT is over lol, also have to have the account in a unblocked supported region. So either get a friend in that region to make a new account for you or change your main steam acc location, if you trust them. Or use VPN to make new acc, but do note VPNs is a banable offense, so best do that on a 2nd acc.

you might get lucky and all of this will work out fine

[slate zephyr]

so...basically play on the KR server 😛 😛

[gritty imp]

How do you split an item stack? Can't figure it out

[woven terrace]

i forgot to mention i'd also want EU ping 🙂

alt click i think

[slate zephyr]

mouse over item, it will say

[remote vine]

Just move to Korea.

[woven terrace]

yeah i'll send a love letter to Rose from Blackpink and ask her to marry me

[stone cobalt]

When I buy a lvl boost, are all the sidequests to 50 finished?

[slate zephyr]

including a few island hearts

[stone cobalt]

pog o:

[faint scarab]

A 100hz monitor or for 100 bucks more 144 Hz hmmm....

[patent kernel]

How do traveling merchants work? I need Ben in Arthemis for example. Afaik they stay for 10 minutes? Is there always one up on the different spawns or is it completly random when one spawns?

[glossy otter]

I would go for the 144hz

[solar dust]

anyway to upgrade founders

[fading pendant]

refund, re-buy the better one

[errant salmon]

say lads, does anyone have this skill icon as a png?

possibly higher resolution than 64x64

[deep bolt]

hey guys, do we still have that free char to 1302 event?

[trim void]

Yeah for 5 more days I think

[deep bolt]

met someone that's ilvl 1325 that didn't get it

so we re confused

[trim void]

Did they claim it from the website

[deep bolt]

great question

[trim void]

Since its a ticket you've to claim then use in game

[deep bolt]

yeah

he did not, thanks very much ❤️

[trim void]

[slow swallow]

anyone wanna cchat on discord while grinding?

[deep bolt]

I can't seem to find that link where you need to claim it

it's not in the inventory

i remember it was another link before hand

think i found it

[trim void]

There is the rewards page to show if the quest requirements are completed and once they have been completed it gets added into you items in your account this can be reach from click your account in the top right and then selecting my items then you choose the item to transfer into game and then confirm it, once done you get a mail in game with the item

https://la.mail.ru/missions

[deep bolt]

thx

[winged oxide]

Any way you can save your saved presets from the beta?

[worn path]

Nope

[wooden rapids]

infighter class subdue or specialty ?

[trim void]

Depends what build you are playing and in what content check #scrapper for builds in the pins, get the infighter role from #navigation to see the channel

[ashen burrow]

are skins account wide ?

want to buy a skin from the RU cash shop

if its just limited to my main character then maybe I'll rethink it lol

[trim void]

Skins are either class specific, ie mage, warrior, gunner these can be switch between in the role, then there is advance class specific costumes

They can only be wore by the advance class ie, zerker, battlemaster, summoner,

[ashen burrow]

I see, so if I buy a skin for my reaper, the later on I make a shadowhunter she'll be able to use the same skin yeah ?

[trim void]

Depends if its a reaper specific costume or if its a assassin costume

If its a reaper specific then no, if its an assassin costume that all the assassin sub classes can use then yes

[crystal marlin]

Hi guys, just played the beta and im downloading the RU client right now. I'm from UK and im guessing connecting to Russia would be something like 150+ ping. What are some good high dps classes that are ping friendly? I also had my eyes on Sorceress class, is it out on RU?

[still quail]

Your ping might be better than that but im from NAE and I get like 140 so idk about UK. The last class to come out on RU was striker they don’t have sorceress yet unfortunately

[crystal marlin]

Hm, thats unfortunate, is there maybe a whole class list that are out currently on RU?

[patent kernel]

Any idea where Hidden story #4 is? The Infolao guide doesnt list it

[foggy comet]

your ping should be much less actually

[blazing aurora]

I‘m playing on ru from west eu and i have around 50-60ping

[trim void]

I get 63ms ping from Ireland while playing on RU, it shouldn't be bad for you

[crystal marlin]

aye not bad

[urban nimbus]

https://papunika.com/tome-yudia/

[eternal coral]

I got myself a 144Hz monitor recently, and while playing in 144fps is pretty cool, I think I should've gone for 1440p resolution instead

[glacial sleet]

Nahh 144hz is much more worth it

[eternal coral]

60-70fps is honestly good enough for most games and higher resolution would make a much bigger difference

not only in games, but also in everyday use

watching movies etc.

[glacial sleet]

I can only use my 144 hz monitor for gaming. 60hz is doo doo feces

[eternal coral]

144Hz is noticeably smoother, but 60Hz isn't bad in any way imo
also, it's worth spending a bit more money on IPS panel

I got a VA, and ghosting from black/dark colors in motion is very noticable

[muted crag]

IPS has glare, they all have some sort of BS

It's not SUPER noticeable but there

[faint scarab]

Yeah that was already set in stone for me the 1440 resolution , i just ordered "msi optix mag342cqr" with 144 hz

[spiral thistle]

Just an fyi this is lost ark help and not a discussion channel for technology. You are free to move it to off topic if you want to continue the discussion unless it's directly related to lost ark.

[muted crag]

I'd get 21:9 monitor if you are getting one. Lost Ark sort of likes that

Black Friday soon, bet there will be good ones with discount, seems like good idea for LA

[faint scarab]

It's a 21:9 and I know black Friday is soon but you never know what will be on discount so I just buy it now

[muted crag]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[faint scarab]

I mean 449 bucks is fair enough for me

[maiden locust]

how do i get from 1302 to 1325

materials are scarce and people wont take me for the guardian hunts

[kindred token]

Do islands within the item lvl and solo guardian yourself and doing chaos. It take few days

[worn path]

Your ping should be 50-70

[kindred token]

Also make sure to do the islands that was in beta to get all your engraving. Get grudge lv2 should be doable with all the island in beta. In #info-dump

No one will take a dps with lv 2 heavy armor as their best engraving to their raid. Just buy a random stone with grudge on it and if you can hit 3 grudge that max lv grudge

And well ofc get tower done when you are in off time. If you asking here probably dont have a t3 alt so might as well working on the main

[ocean carbon]

how do i unlock better health potions in my estate? Besides the green ones

[patent kernel]

What a good way to farm pirate coins? I remember doing diving and debris farming in the past but was removed. Need 16k for the song.

[static sable]

is there some sort of english dominant realm/server on the ru side of the game? just downloaded it

[spiral thistle]

Voyage co-op or 1 time rewards

[spiral thistle]

[midnight flax]

The main international community server for the KR version is now on 카단-Kadan. The older community used to be on 실리안-Sillian.

And the main community server for the RU version is альдеран-alderan.

For the JP version, Aman is the community server.

https://gyazo.com/e418a8343bd04d858844533be188ded6 does that just mean boss monster like raids?

[spiral thistle]

Anything that fits that criteria. Every boss and some named

[tender pike]

Guys is there a guide for skill effects ? Headattack/backattack/counter/destruction etc ?

[spiral thistle]

Saint probably touches all of that in his guide. How in depth however I do not know.

[crimson cove]

do 2nd time tower rewards scale on gear tier/ilvl?

[slim plover]

no

you cant repeat it

the first clear will give you unique stuff like card packs engraving shit etc

every clear after on other characters will give you materials

[cerulean hare]

AVG

[modern lake]

Does a sharable storage exists?

[slim plover]

yes

[modern lake]

Yay.

Is there a limit like a rare or uhh...whatever is?

[slim plover]

wut

[spiral thistle]

There is a amount limit but what can be put into shared storage says so right on each item in your possesion.

[modern lake]

I mean a item that is unsharable.

[slim plover]

yes

[modern lake]

okay

[modern lake]

i see

[slim plover]

if you work on your estate and buy additional slots with blue crystals you'll never run out of space realistically

im still with the base amount and i never have issues

[modern lake]

So I guess F2P is grinding too much?

[spiral thistle]

After the changes made to your storage of life materials etc storage is no longer an issue. It used to be a issue.

[slim plover]

what do you mean

blue crystals = gold

[spiral thistle]

This game is not P2W so being F2P just means you aren't getting some quality of life stuff.

[slim plover]

no convenience is locked behind paying money other than character slots

everything else is obtainable as f2p through gold

[modern lake]

Ohh....

[slim plover]

also you have so much storage you're never going to need to expand it tbh

[spiral thistle]

You can even buy Crystaline Aura via in-game gold too.

[modern lake]

[slim plover]

you can just make one of your alts as a storage character and use the character storage, then when you need something move it over with the shared

the character storage is huge

[spiral thistle]

If you are basing this on the CBT we had a lot of storage unlocked that probably isn't unlocked in live. Unless they made changes to that since I quit RU.

[slim plover]

which?

im basing it on kr

[spiral thistle]

Which? Half your personal storage, any page besides 1st

That was how it always was when I played KR and eventually RU. Again, with this most recent patch changing a lot of things I have not played on any live server, only CBT. But I would find it very surprising if they suddenly gave you all storage for free when it was locked behind crystal unlocking for so many years. But then again it might be a needed change since gold was removed from alts. Dno. I guess lots of people that started to play on RU after CBT ended would know.

[snow gale]

yes its huge

https://i.imgur.com/6bdMcr0.png

well all of them didnt embed, but thats how much you get as a f2p

and everything on the last pic can be unlocked by working on the estate

realistically you'll never get close to filling that shit up

the only storage that is ever an issue is the stupid cards

[tender pike]

Hmm guys while leveling do you level all your skill to 4 first and then to 7 then 10 or you just pick 1-2 skills max em out and then the others ?

[slim plover]

depends on the class

usually yeah hitting lvl 10 on a skill is huge

[tender pike]

So like as soon as i get enough for a single lv 10 skill i should unlevel all others and just max it out ?

[slim plover]

sure yeah

usually classes have some really good aoe skill worth leveling asap

like 360 on gunslingers equilibrium

[tender pike]

lancermaster ?

[slim plover]

never leveled lancemaster but iirc getting lvl 10 on crescent moon is pretty huge for leveling

the whirlwind is nuts in aoe

[tender pike]

I think he means the forums

which is your amazon account

[elfin condor]

No, I'm on the forum, and have access there

it's the discord that's an issue

[bronze lance]

there's no password

[shut pasture]

Discord password probably

If its the actual AGS discord

For names, I understand Special characters are not allowed, but will numbers be allowed or will that fall under special characters?

[proud apex]

hmmm

should i start looking for guild early or late game

[rigid radish]

check amazon forums, if you need special number for passwords like 123 or sth.

[last pike]

someone else tried to ask this, and I'd like to know too - is it possible to friend someone cross-server in the same region?

[rigid radish]

afaik special characters include 123

[shell kayak]

so dont know shit about LA asking for my buddies and myself. can NA east servers play with eachother or is every server an island

[proud apex]

i think so?

[last pike]

From a thread in Steam - Cross server play is limited to the same region. Ex: NA East server 1 and server 2 can queue for group content but not play in open world areas together. NA East and NA West cannot do any content together as they are in different regions and data centers. The same goes for all other regions. NA will have East and West coast regions, which will be separated unfortunately. We'll release a full server list ahead of launch though, so that you can pick your new home with your friends.

[dull cloud]

^ to answer your question

[urban orchid]

asking here: i wanted to know - is it possible to friend someone cross-server in the same region?
i.e. you meet someone cool in a random party and want to friend them for future parties but they are not on your server.

[rigid radish]

should be possible with legacy friendship

same as legacy blocklist

[proud apex]

legacy freindship??

[rigid radish]

aka you add legacy(whole acc) and not just specific char to your friend list

[dull cloud]

aka account friendlist

anything that says legacy just means account

[rigid radish]

yeah, old way was you literally had to add all friend alts too, if they played

[urban orchid]

yeah i think i saw something like this. awesome, because I will likely go to my "language" server but still want to play with english speaking folks

[shell kayak]

btag

[proud apex]

ah

[rigid radish]

should use rooster instead of legacy here probably

[proud apex]

i think most of eu speak english?

that what i keep seeing

[copper flame]

can you buy crystaline aura using your ingame gold?

[proud apex]

nope

royal crystal only

[urban orchid]

EU communities are trying to organize language specific servers

[jovial pilot]

u can use ur ingame gold to buy crystals and then use the crystals to buy the aura

[copper flame]

yeah tahts what I meant, if its purchasable for blue crystals

[proud apex]

wait you an do that?

[jovial pilot]

yup

[proud apex]

can

[rigid radish]

yes, you can buy with gold>blue crystals for NA/EU only

[proud apex]

that nice

[copper flame]

ty

[jovial pilot]

the game is very F2P friendly

[trim void]

Yes that is one of the features they made for the NA/EU region to make it more f2p friendly

[proud apex]

ah

looks more friendly then bdo

there so many servers eu and na east more then west

[opal hedge]

hi guys, whats a class that doesnt require a lot of using HP potions other than gunlancer?

[shut pasture]

They all do this.

[slim plover]

i mean if you're good, you're going to use few

but supports?

[opal hedge]

like in chaos dungeon for example?

[bronze estuary]

Chaos dungeons can use the heal over time potions

[rigid radish]

in chaos you either die or use normal potions(heal over time), which are cheap and barely noticable.

in raids, berserker madness build uses green pots

so big save on gold for purple progg pots, but you're risking in dying a lot as it's lower hp overall too. check #berserker channel for more info.

otherwise if you're good enough, which you should be eventually, you reach a point where you barely use potions and its more of "oh wow, wtf was that" situation.

[opal hedge]

what does green pots do?

[slim plover]

but you still use purple pots on madness

since it has more usages

[shut pasture]

Those are one of the % heal potions, the higher rarity ones heal for more %. You want to save those as much as you can.

[opal hedge]

oh i see

[maiden locust]

is this game good?

[gritty bloom]

what game do you like

[maiden locust]

thinking of getting it when it comes to steam

i like fps games

[urban orchid]

Oh, I dont think cross-server friending works. Legacy friending tells me you have to be friends with them as a character, and you can only friend the character if its from the same server... 😦

[jovial pilot]

question : do u need to finish shushire storyline etc to reach papunika or do u just need the ilvl and finish the story quest?

[gritty bloom]

this is very different from a fps game

[shut pasture]

Storyline.

[maiden locust]

ive played guild wars 2 for a few weeks

[jovial pilot]

ok ty

all chars have to do it or do is it account unlocked after doing 1

[shut pasture]

@jovial pilot You have to sequentially go through each tiers story stuff to then get to the next tier. The Chaos Dungeons are always gated by the last quest for that continents story.

Also its per character, so each character.

[jovial pilot]

ok ty

[gritty bloom]

wait krogger u didnt play RU/KR?

[vestal grove]

Hello there is Canada is on NA East or NA West?

[olive cairn]

what matters more on gear, the base stats or the sub stats? I lose agility if i use this accessory but it gives me like 100 more dex..haven't found a guide that explains the gear well

[jovial pilot]

no i just streamlined the game for 5 years watching kr

[shut pasture]

I would imagine that depends on where in Canada you are.

[olive cairn]

like this for example

[jovial pilot]

i only know the main stuff not the little xD

[vestal grove]

Canada Quebec

[olive cairn]

East coast. @vestal grove

[vestal grove]

ok ty

[gritty bloom]

lmaooo ok thought u played on ru think i saw someone on ru with a similar name

[shut pasture]

They are separate stats. Agility is going to affect different things than Dex does. Dex is the main stat which affects your attack power, Agility is going to affect cooldown reduction attack and move speed.

[olive cairn]

Hmm well i guess agility isnt too big of a deal this early

should I just prioritize straight main stat until tier 2 ?

[fallen goblet]

@olive cairn i think it depends on your class too

[shut pasture]

Considering thats T1 gear, no. Don't worry about specifics on things before T3 as you're going. It all gets replaced pretty quick.

[olive cairn]

Oh also I noticed a pretty big gating mechanic that's coming our way in NA is the emerald shards that you use for prepping gear for the enhancement

[misty tree]

@slate zephyr this chat is back. Ur comment was the last

[shut pasture]

Thats in every region.

[olive cairn]

yeah, i dont feel it as bad on russia

but without the catchup + attendance events i feel like its gonna take a bit of time to actually upgrade lol

[shut pasture]

Islands.

[olive cairn]

like i cant prog my character much further right now since it lacks the shards

[shut pasture]

Islands. There are many islands which give those materials in quite a large number, currently not 100% sure if they will be that exact way for our launch.

[scenic falcon]

I remember reading about leveling alts specifically to pick up their engraving to progress on your main but I can't find any information about it now did that get changed with the new patch situation?

[olive cairn]

you can find ur engraving on your main

alts just give you more opportunities to make use of the daily lockout to funnel your main with more materials

but you can always just sell what u dont need on the AH and buy what u need there

or farm chaos dungeons for your green book

[scenic falcon]

So i could have 5 of the same class alt with no obvious downside

[opal hedge]

can u party up in a pvp ranked match?

[shut pasture]

Ehhh. Severely limiting yourself, you would be able to use your mains engravings on your alts, sure, but they don't provide anything additional over using other classes. Engravings are account wide anyway and I'd suggest to not limit yourself to just making the same class 5 times, if thats what you want to do then go for it but it doesn't really do anything particularly helpful.

Tower is one time clear on your account anyway for the engraving chests, island quests that give engraving books are also completed on your account and the Chaos Dungeon vendor you can only get the 20 engraving books (per tier) once on that account.

[shut pasture]

Not for Ranked, no. Ranked is Solo Q only. Unranked you can queue with other people.

[opal hedge]

oh okay thanks

tower doesnt reset?

[azure shore]

obvious downside = you would be playing the same class with 5 alts...which is boring

[shut pasture]

The main rewards you can only claim once on your account (so all of the engraving chests, the skill points, the giant heart, etc). After that on each subsequent character you get different rewards, which is mostly upgrade materials.

[opal hedge]

oh i see

[scenic falcon]

well yeah I meant downside more in terms of losing benefits in terms of progression

[opal hedge]

also. are the perma stat potions per character? or is it account bound?

[shut pasture]

The stat potions are account wide, same with skill points that you unlock through the skill point potions.

[tulip plaza]

HELLO

[opal hedge]

are chain quests per character or per account? cuz those gives those potion stats'

[shut pasture]

Account

[opal hedge]

o gotcha. thank you!

[green warren]

regarding the "catch up" islands IF we keep them in NA/EU, are they areas we will encounter throughout the story while travelling, or are they just areas we can just visit?

[shut pasture]

You would have to actively go to them, which is something you will likely be doing after you've done your daily stuff like Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids

[green warren]

thanks chief

[opal hedge]

@shut pasture are eponas daily quests worth doing? they seem to take a lot of time to do

[shut pasture]

They don't take that long, many are very simple and straightforward. You'll likely be setting up bifrost teleports (this is something where you save a custom location to teleport to, its on a 2 hour(?) cooldown) to be able to do them quicker. But yes, they are worth doing. At T3 you'll be getting a good chunk of gold from getting all of the available weekly badges.

[opal hedge]

oh okay. its per account right? not per char?

[shut pasture]

Daily/Weekly Una's Tasks (what they will be called for us) are per character. So if you're someone like me you can actually manage to get the whole weeks worth that you need for all the badges done just on two characters in one day.

[trim void]

HELLO friendo

[opal hedge]

oh lol

[cinder scroll]

is grouping up for raids cross server too?

[shut pasture]

The LFG and matchmaking is, yes. Cross server not cross region. Keep that in mind.

[scenic falcon]

Oh i figured out what I meant i thought you got engraving from leveling up characters to use on your main but you just use the non class locked engraving and want to choose alts that use similar engravings

[cinder scroll]

what about adding someone cross server and then inviting them?

[plain rampart]

does anyone know if I got a founders pack if the stuff is transferable between na west and na east? like if i wanted to try east but ended up choosing west will i be able to get the founders pack stuff still or will it be locked on east?

[shut pasture]

I'm not entirely sure, the LFG interface works that way where you list your group and you can have your friend join it when its up but I'm not 100% sure if you can just straight invite them.

[shut pasture]

I think it would be safe to assume that it will lock to whichever one you go to first.

[opal hedge]

@shut pasture what class u gonna main?

[shut pasture]

Right next to my name on Discord.

[opal hedge]

Scrapper

[shut pasture]

I refuse to use that name, but yes. It will always be Infighter to me.

[trim void]

I don't see an infighter channel

[modest pebble]

Hey sorry if this got asked but does anybody know if characters are bound to the server they’re made on or can you log onto your characters from whichever server in the same region?

[opal hedge]

lol ok

[shut pasture]

Bound to the server.

[modest pebble]

Ok ty!

[shut pasture]

In fact whenever you see us refer to something as "account bound" specifically its more like it is "server bound"; as in if you were to have done a bunch of the skill point and stat potion and otherwise unlocks on Azena, for instance, you would not have those things unlocked on Una (one of the other NA East servers).

[modest pebble]

Ahh ok I see. I’ll have to organize with my friends to see which server to be on then.

[hybrid frost]

I heard that if you are interested in playing a class related later, you can farm skill points for them now on release. If you complete the skill quests/side quests, do you get the SP for any character you have or do you have to save the item to be used later?

[shut pasture]

Skill Points gained from Skill Point potions are all "server wide" so any alt you make on that server will have access to those unlocked skill points.

carrying the torch for our fellow SA players

[rain cobalt]

I need help

[twilit umbra]

what you need?

[rain cobalt]

The shared skins

Between classes, can be shared once opened

Like skins from warrior, if I opened with a berserker, can then share it to the paladin?

Or will be blocked to only use it on berserker?

[shut pasture]

They will say "Warrior" on them if they can be shared between the normal Base classes in that example.

[rain cobalt]

So is not linked to the character once opened, right?

I'm asking that because I buy the platinum and gold versions

So I will receive 2 Vikings skins

[shut crescent]

depends on the skin, some are some aren't, for preorder ones roxx said they would be linked

[rain cobalt]

K owing that, is stupid to open both in a warrior class

The platinum ones yes, but the viking skin I think is shared

Between classes

The thing is... They still did not show the viking skin for blaster/sharpshooter/...

[summer gyro]

buff sharpshooter

[olive cairn]

anyone know what these coins are used for

also sharpshooters are pretty good no?

great early mid and late game pve and very safe lol

[maiden locust]

at what level do you get your plat outfit, i would like to play with some classes to see if i like them first

[shut pasture]

Those are ocean coins. Each one can get you a different amount of Pirate Coins, can also be exchanged for a variety of other things.

[maiden locust]

for the founders exclusive outfit do you get it for all classes, and can you mix and match certain parts of outfits?

[summer gyro]

afaik, plat outfit is in your "product inventory" and can be opened on any character

[shut pasture]

It will be immediately available to you when you make a character, it will be in a "cash shop inventory" that you will be able to access from any character on that server. So you will be able to try a bunch of characters first before you pick up the costume box.

[maiden locust]

will the founders outfit look different for each class?

[shut pasture]

Currently it seems like it is just different based on gender.

[summer gyro]

https://lostarkive.com/model-viewer/ here are some 3d models for the different platinum avatars, if thats what you mean

[shut pasture]

Unknown. Many outfits in Lost Ark will often be a "full body" costume so mixing and matching may be limited.

[olive cairn]

ah. im not sure which of these is worth accepting from this box lol

[maiden locust]

can you dye outfits? like the bard plat is white but can you make it red or something

[shut pasture]

I believe the Ancient Coins convert to the most Pirate Coins.

[shut pasture]

As far as I am aware the platinum avatars are not dyeable, but there are costumes elsewhere from the cash shop or otherwise that can be dyed. Also some of the newer classes do have other "variants" of their plat avatars (Gunslinger being one) but we don't know if those will be available to choose from the box.

[maiden locust]

oh :(

[olive cairn]

gotcha thanks

[maiden locust]

can you get skins/make your character look cool without spending money or?

[olive cairn]

so many systems to learn and so little time LOL

damn unas tasks can take a while if you dont have 4 bifrost triports good lordd

[shut pasture]

Every cash shop skin can be bought for Gold on the Auction House so long as another player who purchased it lists it there. So you don't need to spend money, you can simply get gold from playing the game and watch out for a costume you want to show up on the Auction House. This is true for many other things from the cash shop like pets, mounts, ship skins, and instrument skins

[maiden locust]

ohh okay

[olive cairn]

Personally I would spend money just to support the publish/developers but

its up to you cause its your money lol

[maiden locust]

can someone tell me if naming is region wide or server wide?

like if you play east, can you have NAME on una and the same NAME on azena

[elder grotto]

Is the game gonna be IP locked?

You can play the alpha normally i think

[gritty bloom]

nobody answering cause no one knows for sure
but guessing its gonna be region

[maiden locust]

hmm next question, can you transfer servers between the same region?

[gritty bloom]

transfer ur character?

[olive cairn]

i hate how there's no navigation for this quest

[maiden locust]

yeah so if you started una can you transfer to azena?

[olive cairn]

i cant even tell if i picked up passengers lol

[maiden locust]

also are the founder skin will be going away once the game releases?

[shut pasture]

Nope

[gritty bloom]

dont think so
kr just recently got server transfer thing

[shut pasture]

@maiden locust Server transferring is even extremely new on KR and they have to do it manually still

[maiden locust]

ahh okay thanks... that explain my name thing 2 then...

another question: does anyone know where each individual severs are being hosted? (ping related issue)

[shut pasture]

NA East in the East, NA West in the West. They are listed as they are for a reason.

[maiden locust]

no i mean where azena is hosted vs where una is hosted, even if im from west trying to play on east there are servers better for ping

[shut pasture]

In the same datacenter probably. They are using AWS infrastructure so it will be where they have their AWS datacenters

[maiden locust]

ahh okay so it doesnt matter at all then... thanks

[mighty nexus]

are guilds across region or limit to server only ?

[proud apex]

server i think?

[heavy wigeon]

Have they announced where NA west server will be hosted?

[mighty nexus]

Yeh i was thinking this makes the most sense but wasnt sure

[proud apex]

yea cause regional wouldnt make sense??

but i think most of west will go east i guess more players?

some west will stay west i think

[mighty nexus]

which server are you going ?

[austere vale]

they showed that NA East has more servers

[proud apex]

im going na east cause im from there

better ping

not sure how good lost ark going do hmm

cause final fantasy wajdia

[austere vale]

[proud apex]

it so big in na

maybe be below wow i guess lol

hopefully??

i think it will grow more in eu then in here but will see

[gleaming merlin]

Can you change the appearance of your character once you created it?

[shut pasture]

The most specific answer you'll get is their datacenters in the western part of the country, which is in California.

[shut pasture]

Yes, but its an item you'll have to purchase from the cash shop.

[solid field]

Which region would be best to play on in terms of ping when playing from Australia

[gleaming merlin]

oh okay ty for oyu response
do you know the price?

[shut pasture]

Uhhh NA West? More like Japan at that point honestly.

[sly moss]

woops wrong reply

[shut pasture]

Not off the top of my head.

[gleaming merlin]

aight ty

[sly moss]

but yeah NA-W is the one with the lowest ping if you're OCE aside from JP/KR

[heavy wigeon]

Ty, do you know if NA east & west will be considered one region for cross-server play?

[shut pasture]

They are each separate regions, they won't have any cross over.

[heavy wigeon]

Aww I see, thank you

[opal hedge]

are lifeskill equipments shared all across characters?

[flat pelican]

Can we get West/East/Eu help chats and discussions

[shut pasture]

Yes

[opal hedge]

i just realized it. thanks!

[maiden locust]

Anyone knows if the platinum founder pack skins will be dyable at NA/EU release?

[shut pasture]

Doesn't seem so.

[maiden locust]

Ty

[unique eagle]

Where / what is the place in game to test out all the classes

[tight echo]

I dont know if its been answered already as i just joined the discord and dont want to scroll through tons of messages, but i bought the silver pack and was wondering if we will be allowed to download the game before the 8th due to its sheer size

[summer gyro]

yup, download on the 7th 9am PST

[tight echo]

Ur a rockstar, ty for the quick reply

[summer gyro]

one of the first areas you go to, you can test out classes before choosing one

[tight echo]

also it says releases on feb 11th on steam, will the download become available on steam on the 7th for founders pack owners?

[patent gyro]

Hey guys do we know if the Eu servers will be located all at the same area eg Germany? Or are there going to be country specific servers that are for example the uk for Uk, ger etc

[summer gyro]

7th for everyone

[tight echo]

where is this post at so i can share it with my clan?

[summer gyro]

my understanding is that all of the servers will be from one of these server locations. Nothing on which ingame server matches amazon server https://www.cloudping.info/

[summer gyro]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/launch-details#ags-MediaPopup

[tight echo]

thanks again OJ

Obviously u have to be on the same server to play with ur friends

[slate zephyr]

if it says that then you already got the passengers...where to go is listed in the text...no location showing probably because it lists 3 different zones.

[patent gyro]

I don’t understand. So if I live in London which server from the Eu list do I go for?

Or will all of them try to match me to the data centre close by?

[slate zephyr]

additional stats are most important

[slate zephyr]

I know

[summer gyro]

we just arent sure which amazon servers will be used

[slate zephyr]

use the ping test

[rapid horizon]

servers are in EU central = Europe (Frankfurt)

[slate zephyr]

ping yourself to Frankfurt

[summer gyro]

to see them in the world, get into a guild with them, or open world pvp with them. yea

oh we do know? my b

[patent gyro]

So all servers are in Frankfurt then

[slate zephyr]

yeah it's the only EU datacenter announced atm

no idea if they will add more later

[slate zephyr]

preview at the start in Trixion, or later at lvl 30 also in Trixion proper

[carmine hazel]

I'm from SEA (region locked) and was wondering if I pre-order from Amazon, would the steam code work or do I need a new steam account?

[dapper nebula]

hmmm... wonder how one might decide what server to stick their guild on. :/ I see the server names, but don't really know much about them.

I guess a better quesiton would be.... what's like the "Wowhead" or icy-viens or whatever of LA?

[slate zephyr]

steam account needs to be in a supported region, and even then you might also need a vpn to dl/play the game have to wait for launch to see what happens.

[carmine hazel]

thanks!

[slate zephyr]

there isn't really any yet, as there's too many new competing sites etc.
guilds are bound to each server, so pick carefully.
and lots of endgame content has cross-server PT finder.

[dapper nebula]

:/ Thanks. We played NW and got stuck on a server that died. sigh But the funny thing was... we also had like 4 hour queue times. Heh. You just never know do you?

I guess there aren't really factions? Haven't dug too deep on things yet.

[golden lance]

not yet

[summer gyro]

nothing like new world factions. And as i understand it (which isnt that well), server choice only really matters for certain things like guilds, open world pvp, and seeing people in the world

[golden lance]

^ yep

[slate zephyr]

that's a thing that comes much much later, and has nothing to with server vs server etc.
it's also not exactly a forced opt. in, nor a big point of the game like NW was.

[golden lance]

party finder and auction house is cross server

[dapper nebula]

k. I'm not trying to advertise and I won't say who we are, but... I've got a medium sized community that is looking to play the game. (about 800 on our discord - maybe 50 of them though would be interested in LA so yeah... kinda small really) But I do want to make sure we're on a well-rounded server. :/ Kinda late to the game on figuring this out but... better late than never right? 😉

[opal hedge]

where can i get chaos shard?

[golden lance]

open map and look for "General Merchant"

[slate zephyr]

there is a proper place to do ads for your ingame guild/community, but yeah this isn't the right channel
look to the guild recruitment sections

[golden lance]

really cheap buy like 100 with silver

[opal hedge]

ty!

[dapper nebula]

yeah just more or less looking for server info... (other than names)

[fluid geyser]

But west and east will be separated just the servers are linked

[summer gyro]

if your group cares about guild v guild pvp, then i would consider going to the self defined "PvP" servers, otherwise i wouldnt stress too much

[slate zephyr]

we dunno if the regional "sub-servers" will be crossed over or not...

best assume it won't be

[dapper nebula]

Oh, silly quesiton. Can you have a single nickname? or do you need to be "Sic Nus" heh. with 2 names.

[dapper nebula]

Good point!

[golden lance]

no spaces

[slate zephyr]

no, no family/last names of that sort

[dapper nebula]

Good... whew.

[slate zephyr]

name restriction infos here: #announcements message

[dapper nebula]

Got lost where I was for a second LOL. So tempted for Platinum Founders pack.... (I'm such an easy mark sigh)

[sharp valley]

gunslinger vs sharpshooter for someone who likes ranged gameplay and pew pew ?

[fluid geyser]

Guys so if i still keep CB folder, i just need to download extra 3GB right? ( read it somewhere but forgot)

[sharp valley]

likely will make both eventually but, who first?

[dapper nebula]

Are there a list of guild banners you can choose from? Or will you be able to upload your own?

[slate zephyr]

you can design your own ingame

with lots of premade icons/patterns/colours etc.

can make some insane looking flags

[dapper nebula]

ok cool thanks. Was just wondering if there was some tool outside of the game. (someone will eventually make it I'm sure lol)

I'm worried about the important things!

[slate zephyr]

quite a bit of work if they really want to make it outside the game lol

it has functions like a complex character creator tool

basically almost like a mini-photoshop

[waxen portal]

do you need any special classes for alts?

or can they just be preference

[summer gyro]

preference mostly, from what i hear

[slate zephyr]

play w/e clicks with you

[waxen portal]

ah i see, btw how many mules do u need for late game progressiojn?

[summer gyro]

the more, the merrier (provided you have the time to run the content on all of them)

[waxen portal]

tyty

[dapper nebula]

Are there any classes that are super mobile more than others... or do they all have pretty much the same mobility?

[slate zephyr]

2 or 3 is fine, though it's even ok with just 1 char, it really is up to how much time you can invest into the game.

[waxen portal]

i see, ty!!

[slate zephyr]

AGS server might get the update, where they limited it to 6chars per server can make gold through the weeklies though....

so I guess anywhere between 2 to 6 alts

[slate zephyr]

yes, there are faster classes etc. I would suggest looking through the preview videos to get a general gists of it, even though all those videos are not using late endgame gear, where you can even get more speed~

[summer gyro]

there are mobility differences between classes and even builds. Idk who are the most mobile but i heard gunslinger is pretty mobile

[void tundra]

Do we know if sub servers will be able to play with each other/ AH shared across all of east sub servers ?

[fluid geyser]

If your team is going to play seriously, i suggest download rus client and test there
Easy and then you can explore some unreleased classes as well

[golden lance]

yes to both

[fluid geyser]

Sub-servers will. Ah/pvp/raid/dungeons

[slate zephyr]

yes AH and PT finder are cross server/sub-server, we dunno yet if they will be crossed regions or not yet

[void tundra]

Just a no to world content together I’m guessing?

[slate zephyr]

yeah and guilds

[fluid geyser]

Yea like west and east is separated

[warped flint]

does lost ark have all servers/will have from this list?https://www.cloudping.info/

[void tundra]

Yeah I figured regions and seeing friends in world content on different servers would be a no, but wanted to double check. Thank you

[slate zephyr]

no, EU is just frankfrut, I only remember 1 US one which is Oregon, and South American is Sao Paulo.

basically only 4 out of that list

[noble epoch]

can we sell the northern lawmaker skin?

can't find that specific info online

[delicate dagger]

sorry if this question has been asked before, will there be region changes? ex. changing from US West -> US East

[summer gyro]

unknown, afaik

[summer gyro]

i believe most skins are sellable, but i could be wrong

[delicate dagger]

afaik?

[summer gyro]

as far as i know

[delicate dagger]

oo

[dapper nebula]

how do you move? Click to move? or wasd?

[noble epoch]

I know the class specific founders skins are, just not sure about northern lawmaker

[summer gyro]

i believe its a new skin, so cant say for sure

[summer gyro]

click to move, i think. wasd and others are for skills

[dapper nebula]

hmmm ok

[slate sphinx]

Questions about Una's task dailies.
Are they share between alts?
Can I complete the same 3 dailies with alts?
Should I choose differents dailies likea silver, hearts, upgrading mats?

[dapper nebula]

is shadowhunter locked to female?

sorry for all the stupid questions. :/

[summer gyro]

all the classes are gender locked

some classes are very similar to the other gender's variant, sharing some skills even. But there are differences

[summer gyro]

hope this helps, seems like each character has their own set of dailies

[dapper nebula]

The game does seem to be a bit more forgiving and not fast twitch (on button presses... But I could be watching wrong)

[slate sphinx]

Thanks!

[summer gyro]

there are some very chill classes

[fluid geyser]

Depend on the quest you cleared on that character

[gritty bloom]

do we know the server locations?

[brittle kraken]

hello i wonder if f2p can get skins/costumes in lost ark

[gritty bloom]

u can use gold and buy it off other players on AH

[fluid geyser]

You can earn gold in game and buy it from auction house

[brittle kraken]

how much gold ?

[gritty bloom]

we dont know yet since global is not out yet

[rancid spindle]

depends on the costume parts but like 40k ish?

for the boxes iirc

[brittle kraken]

how long does it take to reach 40k

[summer gyro]

https://www.cloudping.info/ we dont know the locations that will be used, but we do know what the beta used (atleast in NA)

[rancid spindle]

pretty fast actually but this is kr

[slim zealot]

i am na west but the difference in ping between east and west is not that much for me so which region should i choose?

[dapper nebula]

NGL I'm getting kinda hype now. LOL. Thanks everyone for all the info. Heading off to bed but I'm sure more silly questions to come tomorrow

[fluid geyser]

See yourself isnt it obviously like almost other games? East will be packed

[pure night]

so i read smth about red portals in chaos dungeon, what are those?

[fluid geyser]

Red portal = boss fight

[summer gyro]

whichever you prefer, or friends are going to go. I personally think both regions are going to have enough people to sustain the economy

[pure night]

oh nice

[slim zealot]

hmmmm

[slate zephyr]

the completion rate is shared between alts, but only 1 char can complete 1 quest per day.
and yes pick ones that you need the most atm, which usually are mats and collectables.

[slate zephyr]

well eventually there will be opposite genders for all classes @dapper nebula

[summer gyro]

yeah, they just wont be copies of each other. Just similar

[slate zephyr]

that depends on content and class you're playing, GS/DE for example are very heavy twitch reaction class, with their gun switching stances.

[slate zephyr]

it's up to how the players are selling it etc.
if the server isn't making much gold and the supplies are plenty, then maybe the prices won't be high....

[gritty bloom]

yeah but cloudping isnt a log of the lost ark servers tho just a list of aws
so it stil 50/50 at least for east it is

[summer gyro]

exactly, we cant say for sure which server is going to be used. best we can do is guess based off of what the beta had

[slate zephyr]

they are using AWS for the server though

[brittle kraken]

what if no one is selling costumes
