[undone moat]

like is there any gold/silver farming in the open world?

[delicate meteor]

how many hours a day do you play? There's like a 1000 hours of side content

[worthy shale]

after you complete dailies and you cant progress further, spend your lifeskill bar and get stone and wood to upgrade your stronghold

[undone moat]

is that side content time gated?

[delicate meteor]

gold farming is gated to weekly content, silver farming is not necessary, game throws it at you for everything you do

[summer gyro]

leveling to 50 usually takes like 10-20 hours depending on how fast you go. depending on your schedule and speed, even bard should be able to pull out a level 50 in a day

[delicate meteor]

the 10h is not accurate, it's based on other regions that have the exp boost

[slate zephyr]

not really, some are on rotation every few hours, but generally there's tons of collectables and achievement stuff to fill/find.

[sudden stream]

Nice, thinking of just rushing to 50 on day 1 and do the dailies. Going to do a practice run on RU server.

[undone moat]

oh, so there's stuff to do on down time

[sudden stream]

Think there will be about 14 hours to work with

[delicate meteor]

on ru you have 40% exp boost

[sudden stream]

Yeah but you still have to do MSQ

It'll be slower but it's still practice/experience

[summer gyro]

was there any confirmation that we were going to be slower than that? i was under the impression it was likely going to be the patch that KR uses + some more skippable cutscenes

[worthy shale]

on RU u also have a dmg boost..

[sudden stream]

yeah, 20%

[undone moat]

that was my biggest concern, because I'll have a lotta time to treat this as a main game

[sudden stream]

Better than going in blind so

[undone moat]

since covid and all

[delicate meteor]

the exp boost is for new players to catch up, it also gives 30% damage and damage reduction (to make it easier for new comers)

[slate zephyr]

no the exp boost does nothing, the 10hour speedrun was done on RU on a fresh account...before the Mokoko buff too.

[undone moat]

how do collectibles and achievements work in this game, do you get like costumes?

[worthy shale]

Again, after 50 and you cant progress, spend your lifeskill energy on stone and wood

[summer gyro]

well, there is an 8.5 hr level 1-50 run so maybe 10hr isnt that hard for that person on na/eu

[worthy shale]

I think wilky has a collectibles video. short and informative

[slate zephyr]

sorry but I think you're mixing up extra dmg with exp boost...

[delicate meteor]

idk anymore, will check tonight

[undone moat]

well thank you guys, I was able to decide on the pack and I'm glad to hear there's stuff to do

even during down time

[worthy shale]

check out maxroll or papunika for more guides

[slate zephyr]

the only exp boost you get is from the blessing for 10%, and it doesn't even work for quest reward exp.

[worthy shale]

https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/1-50-leveling-guide

[slate zephyr]

yeah no worries, this AGS launch is packed with soo many stuff to do, that a newbie will never run out of things to do 😛

[undone moat]

is there any information on what servers to pick for NA?

[slate zephyr]

as others has mentioned, there's great videos out there explaining some of the things

[delicate meteor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/sgxuab/unofficial_server_guide_updated_31_jan_2022/

[worthy shale]

Azena looks like the top choice for most guilds

for US East...

[undone moat]

awesome! I'm US Est

[obsidian steeple]

How would 67 ping be for this game if I want to play a fair amount PVP in addition to PVE

[summer gyro]

perfect

[delicate meteor]

7ms is perfect, but 67 is great

[slate zephyr]

already perfect.

around 60 is already fine for pretty much everything pvp and pve

[obsidian steeple]

okay cool, I am debating east vs west servers west gives me sub 50 but East looks kinda pog

[delicate meteor]

pvp is cross server match making, the only difference is that you can't join a premade pvp group cross server

[abstract crystal]

Cross server premade pvp would be awesome

[delicate meteor]

Probably technical difficulties in doin it

[abstract crystal]

Are dungeons cross server?

[delicate meteor]

yea

[obsidian steeple]

Okay good to know thank you

[abstract crystal]

Cool

[delicate meteor]

all instances are cross server

[abstract crystal]

What all can be done cross server? Anything besides pvp?

[summer gyro]

check the pinned messages

[abstract crystal]

Also are there world pvp areas?

[delicate meteor]

There are pvp islands and later pvp continent

[solemn swan]

Is the card system shared between characters?

[delicate meteor]

It is

[abstract crystal]

I heard pvp island would be nonequalized gs which suuuuucks

[delicate meteor]

Correct

[slate zephyr]

should be in the near future

[undone moat]

is sorceress a release class?

[delicate meteor]

Yes

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/classes all classes listed will be in release

[violet elk]

Should you gather seeds on your first char, or do that after hitting cap?

[undone moat]

was sorceress a newer class in the other versions?

[delicate meteor]

It's pretty much the newest even in KR

[undone moat]

heard the other versions had a new mage I guess she was it

[delicate meteor]

Correct

[coral flax]

sorry if this was asked before, but what is the stronghold lvl req to unlock char boost?

[maiden locust]

does anyone know of any streamers going to regulus or avesta

[slate zephyr]

up to you and your time.

#announcements message

is it 1AM reset because it's affected by DST or is it 1AM because it is not affected by DST?

[slate zephyr]

ask in #lost-ark-discussions ....

[slate zephyr]

maybe it's just a good time frame for the KR devs to work on the maintenance...

[violet elk]

Curious what the most efficient method is. If it will hold me back on first week or not.

[vagrant hearth]

I'm not worried about whether it's a good time frame, just wanted to make sure so i can setup timers properly for daily/weekly resets

[slate zephyr]

it won't hold you back, the rewards themselves are just little bonuses, not really a speedruner's must have
it really depends on how hard you wanna min/max at the start

[violet elk]

Guess I can do it on my second playthrough

[slate zephyr]

It's a good time frame for the KR devs I mean lol, instead of needing to update at like 12am , they can get it done after dinner.
but yeah you AGS players will just have to get used to and adjust accordingly, gl on that

[vagrant hearth]

[violet elk]

How do I offset the overlay map?

I've seen streams with it far to the side

[slate zephyr]

middle mouse button to drag it around

[unique canopy]

Hello guys, i have a question:
Is there any website or doc saying which class brings what utility to themselves/party (also if they got low-high destruction etc.)? I prefer a summary rather than looking tooltips of every skill & passive.
Cheers

[worthy shale]

https://i.imgur.com/IXMu6gG.png

https://i.imgur.com/JkDoziP.png

Nothing here about how many destruction skills classes have so cant help you there

[unique canopy]

You made my day, thanks! Rly appreciate it

Thanks once again

[deft nova]

What region is SA server?

[barren valve]

can the tower be down done coop?

[slate zephyr]

sao paulo

[slate zephyr]

no, towers are purely solo content

[barren valve]

ty

[sudden stream]

You'll need to install the NA client even if you have the Russian client since they're different versions right?

[delicate meteor]

Probably, can always try to copy game files into steam lost ark directory

[jovial pilot]

yes , its completely different

[slate zephyr]

yes different client builds, you'll probably only able to save like 30gb if you copy over the RU files

still will need to update regardless

[sudden stream]

Makes sense, was just curious.

[carmine salmon]

do we know what are the methods to top up in-game cash currency? Like is it only Steam wallet or what

[sudden stream]

Can predownload 24 hours before anyway

[raw atlas]

is there a maint going on in RU?

[slate zephyr]

no idea, but seems plausible

[carmine salmon]

im worried if i VPN to play and VPN to top up in-game currency, i will get caught eventually

[raw atlas]

wait nvm

[sudden stream]

no

[slate zephyr]

is you steam set in a supported region?

[delicate meteor]

I'm expecting something through amazon official page

[carmine salmon]

It will be, i am creating a new Steam Account using a fresh email, just for Lost Ark, separated from my main acct.

But..... my credit card will not be US/EU/OCE, lmao

[carmine salmon]

im eager for some info too... 😦

[slate zephyr]

SEA?

[carmine salmon]

yeah lmao

[paper wind]

@wintry cypress hey, can I ask do you have a na/eu steam account already?

[sudden stream]

Odd question but, anyone know why Lost Ark won't take any inputs when remoting into my PC? Never had an issue with anything else. I literally have to send a ctrl+alt+delete, cancel out and then Lost Ark only receives the first input after that.

Just sitting here at work, remoting in, trying to mess with character creation.

Tried with chrome remote desktop and steam remote play

[slate zephyr]

I think only 1 remote service works

let me try finding the name

[sudden stream]

Guessing it has something to do with how the remote client casts the mouse to the Lost Ark client or something and how it interacts with EAC.

[slate zephyr]

I'm msging a couple of ppl, would dm you if I get answers

[sudden stream]

Thanks, I'd appreciate it.

I work at a hospital overnight, lots of downtime so I remote in to play things a lot.

[bright marlin]

I hope my templates from beta will work in SA servers (or NA if I give up about SA)

[obsidian steeple]

How necessary is 21:9 aspect ratio moniter? I do not care about black bars, but I do care if the game looks worse/squished or something

[spiral thistle]

It's not. Especially for PvE

[nimble wigeon]

Necessary for PvP for FoV optional for other content

[obsidian steeple]

will forcing the aspect ratio not unlock the full FOV?

[delicate meteor]

It looked blurry on my 27" 1440p monitor, so I used 16:9

[spiral thistle]

Yeah not gonna look good on 16:9. You can PvP without.

[delicate meteor]

The forced ratio is there so people have an option, but it's not required to enjoy pvp

[obsidian steeple]

so 16:9 with forced aspect ratio = full FOV but looks bad, 16:9 without forced aspect ratio looks good but has less FOV. 21:9 monitor unlocks best of both worlds. I think I understand.

I will start the game with my normal moniter without forcing and upgrade once I save some more cash

[paper wind]

Who here is a sea player and has a na/eu steam account already?

[faint pagoda]

mfw i just bought a 21:9 monitor for lost ark

[buoyant elbow]

Do I need to switch 'RUS' to 'USA' in the preset codes to use them on launch?

[faint pagoda]

i think so yes

[obsidian steeple]

I am so tempted, pretty sure I landed a good new job so I could realistically afford it but I know I will ball out too hard and spend 1k+CAD

also tempted to upgrade to plat pack

[slate zephyr]

just note it might not still work, since RU and AGS client has lot of different things

eg. RU doesn't have voice options yet

[faint pagoda]

you can always get gold and plat

[spring glade]

is an ultrawide monitor a huge plus in pvp or is negligible

[faint pagoda]

you can force it but youll have black bars top n bottom

[obsidian steeple]

@faint pagoda y u gotta offer these hurtful but also 200iq suggestions I am very impressionable :pepeHands:

no pepehands feelsbadman

[faint pagoda]

[obsidian steeple]

R I P my nitro

[faint pagoda]

who needs nitro when you can get plat founders pack

[obsidian steeple]

is bronze even worth stacking with plat? should I keep or refund?

[faint pagoda]

broze not really

gold / plat is what i went for

[slate zephyr]

depends if you want the items, specially the skins & wallpaper

[grave hull]

is it ok to fumble around any miss stuff on first playthrough when the game releases? or are there things or game systems i should take note of to start doing right away

[slate zephyr]

yeah it's fine to go at your own pace, unless you really wanna min/max from the start

[carmine salmon]

what do we do with this item? I cant throw it away

[trim void]

Sell it to a general vendor.

[carmine salmon]

ohh ok done

1 silver lmao

[slate zephyr]

it's just a tutorial gear

[carmine salmon]

pretty good stuff to get me started though

i guess this is ru catch up mechanism

[brisk junco]

what does this mean? can ilvl jump

[carmine salmon]

translations pretty confusing lmao

[slate zephyr]

jump boosting

[brisk junco]

how

[slate zephyr]

button there at char select

[carmine salmon]

spend money right?

[slate zephyr]

either costs money or free via event

I guess you're on either KR or JP

since that's not updated yet for RU

JP has no real free boost atm

[brisk junco]

yea im in jp server but sad that there is no more event

[slate zephyr]

but you can do the gold jumping method as well later

[brisk junco]

it cost 1600 something

[slate zephyr]

yeah royal crystals

[brisk junco]

thats a lot lol

[tight nexus]

i noticed in every video the keybinds are the same? I imagine I can change those right?

[slate zephyr]

well that's the price to pay for skipping a lot of stuff

[slate zephyr]

yep can change almost all of them

[tight nexus]

good good , I found them SO strange :p

oops. wrong reply, meh

[carmine salmon]

how do i see the difference in ilvl?

[robust pulsar]

hey all I have a question. Is it possible for me to prepare a character template for my Sorceress so I can make her quickly and claim a name? Or do I just have to wait till launch?

[slate zephyr]

you don't with accessories, it's always tied to the tier, only gear has ilvl.

[carmine salmon]

no wonder i cant see the ilvl number.. ok, roger, thank you!!

[slate zephyr]

you could try get it done on RU/KR, but it might still not work at launch

[robust pulsar]

I'd assume it wont I didn't make a sorceress during the beta cause she wasn't available yet but she was the class I was looking forward to most

[slate zephyr]

50/50 up in the air if it will work...

[austere hatch]

hi guys! Is there a tank meta for raids? If so, whats the best tank to play?

[slate zephyr]

there is no holy trinity for this game, only DPS and Supports.

[austere hatch]

so tanks are not needed in raids?

[slate zephyr]

the "tankist" would only be Gunlancer

Supports are needed

[austere hatch]

I see, what are the most common dps classes?

Found out about this game today, tryna figure out what should i play

[slate zephyr]

anything works lol, everyone is viable

[austere hatch]

Watched a few videos but there is too much going on the screen lol

[slate zephyr]

it's just what's fun to you and what clicks

yeah jumping into the deep end could be a bit bad for newbies

[robust pulsar]

It's not super important to pick your forever class right off the bat, cause having multiple characters is helpful later. So feel free to try out the ones who interest you

[austere hatch]

Every dps is balanced? Its just about what appealing to me?

[slate zephyr]

pretty much

[robust pulsar]

Some are better than others but none are genuinely bad afaik

[slate zephyr]

the "tankist" class Gunlancer is also a DPS btw, don't be confused by his slowness etc.

[austere hatch]

what class is considered better?

Like what is the community favourites?

[slate zephyr]

it's all very personal opinion

some classes play style just never clicks for ppl etc.

[past venture]

Hi , one of my friend got a terrible laptop can he run lost ark ?
CPU : i7 7500u
GPU : Intel HD Graphics 620 ; Radeon (TM) 520
8Gb RAM

[glossy parcel]

Its about what is most fun/what you are best at is the best class

[slate zephyr]

If you're worried about not getting into parties, it's not a issue even if you play a unpopular DPS, as long as your gear setup is right, you'll make it in.

[austere hatch]

What would you recommend for me to try out first?

[slate zephyr]

check out the preview videos of classes and work from there

[delicate meteor]

Whatever you want

Best rule of thumb, go with something you find cool

[carmine salmon]

game has so much content, im trying out lost ark RU and im so confused lmao

[austere hatch]

I see, thank you everyone

[delicate meteor]

That's normal

[slate zephyr]

yeah, but not at highest settings and probably not at solid 60fps at times(eg. towns).

[past venture]

okay

[tight nexus]

when people mention farming mats to upgrade in videos, do they mean farming chaos dungeons or something like it over and over or is there like farming ores and lumbers and shizz o upgrade?

[slate zephyr]

chaos, guardians, islands, dailies/weeklies and having alts that does the same thing to funnel mats.

for chaos, normal mats only drops for the first 2 run of the day
life skills mats are different stuff.

[delicate meteor]

https://papunika.com/material-resources/

some things are locked behind daily limits, like chaos dungeons, islands are one time rewards

it's not a 'stand in one place and kill x' farming

[carmine salmon]

or when there is still energy

if u miss a day or 2, the energy stacks i think

[slate zephyr]

that's the rest bonus, not entry energy

need a recovery pot for that

[tight nexus]

ok cool, so I imagine they all give different things, people kept mentioning farming mats to get from t1 to t2 and I was kinda confused as to what mats to farm and where xD

[delicate meteor]

'farming' can refer to 'go to A do this, go to B (other side of the world) do that'

which is a bit different from your other mmo;'s

[carmine salmon]

it usually means farming chaos dungeon for refinging material

[slate zephyr]

they all do generally also reward normal upgrade mats, with some islands also giving island specific mats

oh yeah also arena pvp

[tight nexus]

cool, thanks

[distant python]

can you change your characters appearance after the initial creation process without paying real money?

[true reef]

hey, can someone 100% confirm ttat pre-release is in a little bit less than 7 days from now ?

[faint pagoda]

naw gotta pay

[trim void]

No, you need a character appearance token bought for royal crystals or HOPE they will give out a free token at some point but there will be no guarantee that one will be given.

[slate zephyr]

only if they give out a free ticket for it

[drowsy hatch]

For the NA release, what will be the max gear score?

[slate zephyr]

somewhere around 1400

[trim void]

ilvl 1420

[carmine salmon]

but bear in mind without catch up mechanism of RU, JP or Korea

[slate zephyr]

it has a modified version from other servers

[dusk jacinth]

Are the cards character bound or account bound?

[trim void]

Account/server

[dusk jacinth]

I saw a post about the knowledge transfer thingy and some guy said something about a Seria card that you cant get anymore

But wont't I get that on my main character?

[lucid grove]

For the lawmaker avatar can my zerk and Paladin use the same skin

[trim void]

One of the easiest cards to gain for the early gain set of 7% crit is called the Solas card, you get this around lvl 30ish from the main story, if you paid boost or knowledge transfer an alt you don't gain extra copies of the card, unlike if you were to maunally level the character

[trim void]

yes, you just wouldn't be able to transfer over the weapon skin

[dusk jacinth]

But the cards are account bound no? So I will just get it from my first character(main)

Or is it account bound but you need 1 for each character?

[trim void]

yes but you need multiples of the same card to upgrade them to gain the bonuses from the card sets

[slate zephyr]

where? on here?

[dusk jacinth]

Well I guess I kinda failed my question, I meant shared not bound

[slate zephyr]

yes cards are all shared, any char can use any sets

[dusk jacinth]

On reddit

[dusk jacinth]

Oh I see so I should then lvl as many as I can until I max that one out

[slate zephyr]

report it

[trim void]

give me the link to that and I will sort it out

[dusk jacinth]

Can I post here?

[trim void]

Yeah just give me the reddit link

[dusk jacinth]

[lucid bronze]

Hello quick question, I know we're getting the KR Voice over along on launch. I was wondering if we're also getting the JP Voice over or if it's already apart of the client already

[trim void]

No, we can't get the JP or RU voices as they are own by different publishers

[slate zephyr]

KR is self published by the devs, hence why they can do this, they must've worked out a deal with AGS.
Also RU/JP voices are in a different client, not already in AGS client.

[lucid grove]

How hard is it get the legendary costumes for shadow hunter?

Just swipe?

[drowsy pond]

Hey guys , i',m new here just wanted to ask if its possible to switch between engravings example
with destroyer you go madness for pve and the second one for pvp or its counted as 2 different builds ? its possible to switch right ? does it cost?

[slate zephyr]

those won't be at AGS launch, other servers had time as limited timed packages, otherwise it's a gacha system....

[versed dove]

@chilly tapir https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/852619895119020033/937926694864564294/unknown.png found it

[lucid grove]

Gacha on skins

[slate zephyr]

pvp setup is separate from the pve ones, switching a complete pve engraving build could take a while...

[chilly tapir]

probably no update yet

[lucid grove]

Why would an mmo have gacha of all thing s

[versed dove]

so weird if thats true :o all the other regions have cross server

[slate zephyr]

pretty normal for a lot of eastern mmos...

[chilly tapir]

by CROSS server i think they mean na EAST and WEST btw, i think tho cause i am not so sure

[versed dove]

hmm maybe, but those are different regions idk

[slate zephyr]

sounds like roxx got it confused

[echo owl]

understand the context of that post there

she’s correct in saying that your progress on one server does not affect the other

[trim void]

There was cross server match making in the beta and all the other regions, cross server open world play isn't something you can do, she needed to explain it better and be sure of what she was writing, cross region is probably more of what she meant

[versed dove]

ahhh fair enough

thanks yall

[brittle lodge]

the lostarkive model viewer link doesn't work for me. Any idea why?

[delicate meteor]

something on your end? what doesn't work?

https://lostarkive.com/model-viewer/ doesn't open or what?

[brittle lodge]

the link straight up doesn't open

[delicate meteor]

tried different browsers?

does it time out or gives you an error?

[brittle lodge]

it just loads forever and then says it took to long to respond

time out basically. I will try a diff browser, thanks

[delicate meteor]

it's very heavy, how is your internet?

[brittle lodge]

my internet is dogshit, maybe that's why. though other sites are working fine

[delicate meteor]

yea like I said it's veery heavy, do you have access to another source like 4G?

[brittle lodge]

Yeah but that has a data cap. It's fine though, at least I have an idea why it isn't working

[delicate meteor]

When you click specific model it loads and times out, right?

[chilly tapir]

i can stream for u in vc if u want , if u can watch the stream that is

[delicate meteor]

Does the link I pasted open though?

[brittle lodge]

No the site doesn't load at all

[delicate meteor]

What browser are you using?

Firefox: You can set the value of network.http.connection-timeout in about:config

[brittle lodge]

I appreciate that, thanks 🙂 , it is fine though really

[brittle lodge]

I'm using edge / chrome

[delicate meteor]

Those don't have that option

[brittle lodge]

Sure, I'll try firefox

I tried 300 secs, no dice

[delicate meteor]

go to 300000s, but it's probably something else timeing out

had that issue at work and couldn't fix it

[cinder scroll]

how does the gacha system work? any videos on it?

[trim void]

you need one yozu jar bought from the cash store for 100 blue crystals and then use 14 manasilk to roll the yozu jar, you can either buy the manasilk from the cash store or dismantle a piece of a paid costume to get 7 manasilk, you then decide which class you wanna roll for and which slot, every time you roll you have a 1 in 8 chance of getting a legendary avatar piece

https://youtu.be/bnQiF6KxBnA

[cinder scroll]

ah okay, how much gold is 100 blue crystals? if that info is out(or does it not work like that)

[trim void]

We can't tell you as it's a player driven market so prices in the other regions won't be the same as ours

[cinder scroll]

ah fair enough

[grave hull]

can a character be customised after character creation? or is character creation permanent?

[delicate meteor]

blue crystal to gold exchange rate fluctuates, depending how many people are selling and buying

[trim void]

Not many people even bother with the gacha system and instead wait for the whales to put up the pieces they don't want on the AH and normal players just buy them for gold

[trim void]

yes via a token from the cash store

[delicate meteor]

you can with a ticket, which is sold by real money, you sometimes get it for free from events

[cinder scroll]

ah fair, are loads of pieces regularly put up on the ah?

[grave hull]

awesome. thanks. i was thinking of rushing through character creation to get names i like

[delicate meteor]

depends on how many whales are whaling, naturally

[delicate meteor]

You can use templates for that

[grave hull]

can that be made before game releases?

[delicate meteor]

you can use premade ones by others

there was a site to share those

you can use the ones from other regions, though may need to change names for NAEU release

[full widget]

What level do you need to be to get to Luttera to complete [Quest - East Luterra] Holy Inquisitors in order to get the solas card before you Knowledge transfer?

[trim void]

around 30-32ish

[full widget]

Its around 4hrs leveling isnt it Frijj? And worth doing for the 100% drop chance?

[trim void]

Yeah probably about that time, it's up to you really, you would have to do it a few times, as it's 1 card to upgrade, then 2 cards to upgrade, then 3 cards to upgrade

[delicate meteor]

I doubt a single card is worth such an investment

[grave hull]

how long roughly would it take to level a class to 26 to unlock the advanced training area? i was told the initial class preview in the RU server doesnt actually show you the full extent of a class if im trying to find out what class appeals to me.

[delicate meteor]

you start level 10, so you need 16 levels, you can easily do 3levels an hour even if you are new

[full widget]

I cant say i know much about how the card system works but its the only way to get 100 chance to get the cards right?? And wont it take a long time until we have any other deck?

[delicate meteor]

Does it even give you 1% of character power?

[trim void]

yeah its 100% you need just need more of the same cards each time to upgrade them, cards are a long term investment

[full widget]

So the play is Create character get to Luterra complete quest then Knowledge transfer

[inner lintel]

does unlocking character slots cost money?

[trim void]

Yes

[inner lintel]

how much?

and is it necessary to have more than 1 character?

[delicate meteor]

Noone knows

[trim void]

about 10$

[delicate meteor]

you start with 6 slots unlocked

[inner lintel]

do i need more than 6?

[delicate meteor]

if you want to try more than 6 classes on the same server

[inner lintel]

i see

does it benefit my account? cuz im still doing my research on this game and i think i heard in some video that alts give something to the account

[delicate meteor]

it's perfectly reasonable to play only a single character

[elfin condor]

Not optimal, though

[slate zephyr]

training room is lvl 30, not 26.
speedruners can reach it in about 3-4 hours.

[delicate meteor]

the main reason for alts, is that you want GOLD, and gold is limited by time, like one character per week can earn a certain amount of gold. Gold is shared among your entire account, so each alt gives you more gold total. In KR they released a patch limiting your cap of 6 characters being able to earn gold each week.

[elfin condor]

Not just gold. Materials, too

[slate zephyr]

6 is enough

[inner lintel]

damn

[delicate meteor]

If you REALLY want farm with more than 6 characters, it's more optimal to make another account

from farming point of view

[inner lintel]

ic

ty guys

[delicate meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D3vsIIC0gM a good video to watch

Second topic is more relevant

[slate zephyr]

or just play on another server, save time needing to switch account info

[inner lintel]

so can u only get gold in this game in like a weekly cycle through alts?

[delicate meteor]

Yes, through quests mostly and weekly/daily tasks. Some one time gold rewards are possible as well, I believe.

[slate zephyr]

no, there's other methods(eg. AH), but weeklies are the big payouts

[delicate meteor]

Oh? What other methods?

Flipping things on AH is grey area haha

[inner lintel]

and is gold used to enhance gear?

[delicate meteor]

Yes, but mostly as currency in AH

[slate zephyr]

well point is don't have to wait a week 😛

[elfin condor]

https://papunika.com/gold-sources/

[slate zephyr]

yeah also those ^

[delicate meteor]

Says adventure island, is that one time only? To get gold

[molten igloo]

Hi guys, when is the reset in the EU? Wednesday or thursday morning?

[slate zephyr]

though adv. islands gold rewards are rng

[delicate meteor]

Yea but are they repeatable?

[slate zephyr]

once a day

[delicate meteor]

As it says the reward depends on ilvl

Aha, good info.

[slate zephyr]

it also depends if the islands with gold gets rolled for that day

it's on a rng rotation

[delicate meteor]

the island itself?

[slate zephyr]

#announcements message

[delicate meteor]

Right, so basicly, if you exclude AH, the only way to accumulate gold from the game (so you don't rely on other players having gold) is adventure island on top of daily and weekly tasks

[slate zephyr]

maps too

they get gold reward from completion

[delicate meteor]

Chaos Gate Secret Map, the map itself gives gold? Like you loot gold there?

[slate zephyr]

the selling of the maps itself would be included in AH

I guess you could also include the rare rng gold/boss portal for chaos dungeon

[kindred token]

No it loot that you sell

People dont sell the map more like selling the slot so it all trust there

[hushed bone]

Back in season 1, a couple of skill points potions were in collection/side quests/w.e, is that still the case?

[kindred token]

Yes

[hushed bone]

Is there a list on some website or gdoc (I do remember an early website that was orange-themed?) that lists all of these? (Or, even better, all the worthwhile sidequests?)

[trim void]

https://papunika.com/skill-points/

[hushed bone]

So papunika is the way to go now, I see

Thanks

[trim void]

You also have https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/lost-ark-skill-point-guide

Both are good resources to hold onto

[gleaming blade]

Anyone who knows, if and how there will be "social" features in Lost Ark? MMOish Quest Hubs, Shared Regions, Open Housing (moving from plot to plot without loading)

[hushed bone]

Yeah, got a couple of links at hand to be ready

[versed dove]

housing is not rll housing, its more of an estate and its instanced

[hushed bone]

Also, can't remember that from couple years ago, but collections (mokoko gathering etc) are account-wide, so no need to rush them on the main character if you plan on getting to 50 asap?

[short lantern]

What class "Flows" the best? Usually in MMO's I'm pretty fond of mages, however, Bard really doesn't interest me, and the other caster seems a bit clunky from the two videos I've seen.

So I'm open to other ideas.

[gleaming blade]

Sounds like PoE 😄

[versed dove]

i dont think u can go inside ur buildings and decorate them with furniture, u decorate the outside, not 100% sure tho

[gleaming blade]

Ah too bad, but I expected that, would have been nice to have that on-top

[trim void]

You can invite people to your estate and they are adding more into it in the future to do stuff together while there

[cedar wharf]

Gunslinger is pretty cool if you can deal with the “complexity” you basically manage 3 weapons that work like stances with separate bars and skills

[cedar wharf]

Indoor decorations etc are coming this year 🙂

[nimble plover]

Hey ! I have the Bronze pre order pack but on my steam they said i can play at the 11 february and not the 8 ! Is it normal ?

[cedar wharf]

Yes normal

[nimble plover]

Ok thx ! I was scared

[trim void]

The different seasons like feature they are bringing is the thing I like most they are adding

[slate zephyr]

feature coming to KR server soon @gleaming blade and will be added to other regions.

[cedar wharf]

Plus the mini games

[hushed bone]

Thanks for all the answers you guys have been providing

[gleaming blade]

ah awesome thanks ❤️

[pale cypress]

regarding crossserver parties, how do they work? is there a cross server fl as well?

[delicate meteor]

you can't party up cross server

but you get matched cross server

[slate zephyr]

only via pt finder, can't see the others though

[woeful trail]

So random

[cedar wharf]

You can use the party finder

It’s not only matchmaking

[slate zephyr]

?

[woeful trail]

Pt finder matchmaking is random

[pale cypress]

pt finder =//= matchmaking

[delicate meteor]

To be exact: you can't invite people to your group from other servers, but you can use party finder and there will be people there listed from other servers that you can click to invite

[slate zephyr]

it's not random

there's 2 different finders

the button in the content is random

[woeful trail]

Good to know then

[slate zephyr]

the pt finder isn't random

[versed dove]

YAY thank you

[slate zephyr]

random, not random, then solo or local party entry button.

[warm siren]

Hey there, I'm trying to figure something out. I see people suggesting to do Island Quests to get mats to upgrade gear and make progression faster. Are those island quests (like this one: https://lostarkcodex.com/us/quest/5067106/) one time only on the account? Or is it per character?

[cedar wharf]

one time per server

[slate zephyr]

yeah ones that says account quest(or w/e AGS will call them), or give one time rewards such as island hearts.

[primal bough]

Will be my LA account bounded to my Steam account? Or Steam will be only like a launcher and will have to log ingame?

[cedar wharf]

its bound to your Steam Account

[trim void]

Bound to your steam

[warm siren]

Yeah figured as such and wanted confirmation, thank you so much 🙂

[primal bough]

Unlucky, but thanks 😄

[carmine salmon]

can i check if it is required to do all the purple quest?

i seem to keep unlocking more and more of them

[elfin condor]

Nothing is required. Do what you want. #YOLO

[carmine salmon]

so these purple quest are just for rewards?

i mean, are there some "more essential" purple quests?

[delicate meteor]

Only the main quest

[carmine salmon]

main quest are the yellow and then light blue quest (with globe as icon)?

[delicate meteor]

https://papunika.com/beginner-guide/#quest-icons

[carmine salmon]

i seem to have stop seeing them in a while now

[carmine salmon]

ok, i will go take a look there. 🙏🙏

[cursive urchin]

Currently reading the alt gearing section in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19NIlKjBmG77KM74zc7uDQuJ5HPhSno6fLGqIsmFelb4/edit#gid=451357927 --

Says:

1. Daily Chaos Dungeons - Always complete on your alts for very easy materials. Take advantage of (Daily Bonus) if you are juggling 'too many' alts.

Does this refer to @amber compass thing here?

"You could do 6 alts and do them in groups of 2 like so:
Group A do your dailies (claims rest bonus);
next day Group B dailies (another rest bonus);
Finally group C the next day;
restart with group A; rinse and repeat

[carmine salmon]

any recommendation on which ship to upgrage for "the curtain of proteus"?

[delicate meteor]

Chaos dungeon doesn't use rest energy, does it?

[cursive urchin]

Not sure, can't remember

Chaos dungeons are the solo ones right? Wave after wave?

[delicate meteor]

Technically you can do it in a party

But yea, chaos dungeon is the wave one with portal after waves

[cursive urchin]

Regardless of that, the doc says to take advantage of the daily bonus if juggling too many alts and was wondering if what @amber compass said was the same thing

[paper wind]

Anyone know you can get ban from Japan server if you use avast avg vpn?

[wicked aurora]

Hello

[slate zephyr]

1st ship, you'll get the quest from the North Bern queen

[wicked aurora]

So ive heard that, there´s a tower at level 50 that its better if we do it for the first time with a alt, because the rewards are batter the 2nd time and 3rd..

[carmine salmon]

too late, i upgraded ice breaker

[slate zephyr]

yes that is a flagged vpn, please read pins at #jp-lost-ark-help for hints

[wicked aurora]

Does it matter that much?

[slate zephyr]

well it's fine too I guess lol

[slate zephyr]

weird info you got there, who said that?

[carmine salmon]

Jap and Kr Lost Ark seem very strict on VPN

[wicked aurora]

The first time we complete the tower, we get account wide rewards and the 2nd, 3rd 4th, etc.. time, we get rewards for the character we completed it with https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/902547159138848789/936300142183735347/unknown.png?width=953&height=536

[slate zephyr]

yeah bots, rmt, bad foreigners, and just general ToS 😛
RU stopped giving a shit and only want foreigner money

[slate zephyr]

hmmm I seem to recall those are account bound mats, not char. bound

let me check

[wicked aurora]

The ones on the left are account wide and the ones on the right are char, or no?

[slate zephyr]

logging in to check atm

[viscid osprey]

Is there a way to give skills a different colour? like if I like the artist, but not that she paints black, could I get her to paint blue or green instead?

[delicate meteor]

Tripods change skill colors

[pale cypress]

do we have that also in a readable resolution?

[wicked aurora]

That´s the only print i got xd

[slate zephyr]

I think that's stretching the point a bit

[delicate meteor]

message that dude from picture

[cedar wharf]

i mean the icons are really all you need, a tooltip would be useful to see how its bound

[pale cypress]

regarding class engraving chests, does it matter with what class i open it?

[slate zephyr]

doesn't matter

[slate zephyr]

ok yeah they're account bound not char. bound, so it doesn't matter.

for 1st clears or alt clears, they're all account bound.

[wicked aurora]

Ok

Ty

[slate zephyr]

now being reminded I have so many alts that needs to do towers

[wicked aurora]

Is taht hard?

[slate zephyr]

not really, besides some of the gimick floors

[carmine salmon]

any suggestion what to take?

[paper wind]

Hi, I’m from sea. Anyone know how I can purchase Russia server cash shop points using sea credit card? I tried using my card, I think they only understand russia payment

[slate zephyr]

whatever you need or missing

[slate zephyr]

I think only US/EU credit cards work....
also I thought I've answered you before about buying cash on JP/KR server before

[carmine salmon]

i have none lol

[pale cypress]

since you m ainly play till eu/na is out just take whatever cause in a week that account is dead anyway i figure

[elder panther]

What items can i buy in the cash shop to sell on auction house for good gold?

[slate zephyr]

tradable skins/pets/mounts etc.

or use the currency exchanger to just sell the blue crystal directly for gold

otherwise nothing

[slate zephyr]

you DPS or Support?

[neat sigil]

ok so quick question, whats the point of having the guild invites open if the guild already has more members in discord than allowed members in game?

[boreal oyster]

wdym? you can coordinate with multiple guild units in the game.

[neat sigil]

I mean like if a guild is large and has 100 members max and you have a discord with 3k members, whats the point of having those 3k

since yk it's only able to get those 100 in

[ruby walrus]

sister guilds

[boreal oyster]

you have a ton of guild units in game and coordinate events outside of it.

it'd be one community, though

[mystic mountain]

Whats the most endgame PvE content in Lost Ark, simliar to Savage in 14 or Mythic raidin in WoW?

[delicate meteor]

Hell mode raids

[maiden locust]

Hard abre

[livid mirage]

What level do you need to get the estate to do the character boost?

[bronze estuary]

Hell and hard mode are both this in different ways. Hell is technically harder than hard but it’s equalized content so it’s not a 1:1 comparison to wow mythic raiding.

[trim void]

Just need be character lvl 50 and do a quest in the estate, no estate lvl is required.

[livid mirage]

Awesome thank you!

[sage crow]

I'm not a big fan of shoulder pads and was wondering if you can hide them on an outfit or if they're connected to the chest or arms.

[slate zephyr]

only helmets

[umbral hazel]

Can you hide the hideous/ugly scrapper gloves? I get that she suppose to be "heavy hitter" or whatever, but god it just look dumb

or is there MTX or anything that have smaller glove size that you can get from the shop/in the future

[slate zephyr]

only can hide wep effects

[bronze estuary]

The only method is a specific costume that we won’t probably have access to for some time

[umbral hazel]

hm

guess am going one of the other classes then

look similar enough I suppose

[trim void]

not sure if the scrapper's 3rd anniversary weapon skin hides her weapons, I know the BM's one pretty much does

[bronze estuary]

It gives her gloves

Like leather gloves

[trim void]

eww

you sure, cos the gloves wouldn't suit the 3rd

I know she has small iron man gloves for the second anniversary

[bronze estuary]

I’m fairly certain cause I tried to find out the same thing when I was gonna main the class

[mystic mountain]

If hell is equalized content, why do people grind gear for?

[bronze estuary]

Non hell modes

Hell is a prestige only mode basically

[mystic mountain]

So can I as a casual player easily get into Hell mode? 😮

[bronze estuary]

It’s not a means of progression

[bronze estuary]

No

You have to be very very good to do hell modes

[trim void]

damn they are ugly gloves

[mystic mountain]

gearwise that is?

[steel bough]

I love how casual = bad
xD

[bronze estuary]

Skill wise

[bronze estuary]

Not always but if you don’t have a dedicated group you’re not gonna have easy or any access to hell groups

[maiden locust]

Ye u kinda need a static for that

[bronze estuary]

Yeah

Not really pug friendly content

[maiden locust]

And you get picked up by a static by being good

Ans being good means u need to play alot

Meaning its not casual friendly content

[maiden locust]

Hope that answers this

[bronze estuary]

Also depends on your class

Hell modes are very tightly tuned so classes that do well in equalized are favoured

[steel bough]

It sounds like if you cant dedicate at least 2 hours a day for daily grinds you wont be able to do end game content in this game

[maiden locust]

Hell mode? U need like 12 not 2 hours a day

[steel bough]

I'm speaking about any of the end game content, as you need to do dailies on 3 alts just to get to a point where you can join people

[mystic mountain]

and how is that good? its really not well designed, I can do Savage in 14 easily enough, had played pro fightin gamed and was high plat in league i never had to grind the same reptitive content for 12 hours a day. that barrier of entry is just an artificial barrier based on time or grind. its beyond silly.

[maiden locust]

Well all pve endgame bouls to is doing dailies and weeklies once ur done with collectibles

[bronze estuary]

Hell is not = savage

[mystic mountain]

sounds like a second job :/

[maiden locust]

Hell ismt savage not even close

[bronze estuary]

Hard is = savage

[mystic mountain]

Hell = = Ultimate?

[bronze estuary]

There isn’t an equivalent for hell

[maiden locust]

Yes! If you wanna be competitive it is, if you wanna chill its not

[maiden locust]

Naw theres no ff equivelent its harder than ult as aell

Well*

Being hell mode in pve is the equivelent to being challenger in league since u said u played league

Somrthing like that

[slim plover]

[bronze estuary]

It’s basically the ultimate challenge purely for bragging rights

[mystic mountain]

then you have never been challenger dude, just looking at hellmodes and seeing the mechanics it doesnt seem as hard.

[maiden locust]

Im just letting evrryone know rn, if you dont like doing daily or weekly clears u wont like lost ark end game

[maiden locust]

Ive been top 50..

[mystic mountain]

sure man

[slim plover]

hellmode is equivalent to ultimate in time it takes to clear

its kinda the same type of content

[maiden locust]

Ehh

[delicate meteor]

hell mode is hardest, bosses have new skills and players are normalized

[maiden locust]

Yesyes its the pinnacle of pve

[mystic mountain]

Yeah that sounds about right, it seemed as difficult as some harder Savage or Ultimates

[steel bough]

So you are top 0.017% of the lol community?

[slate zephyr]

no, don't buy into that FOMO, it's completely fine to progress at your own pace
so much of the endgame are tuned to be very friendly progression wise.

[slim plover]

nah definetly not harder savage, its ultimate or higher

[maiden locust]

Not lol but smite im less than that % ye i played profesionally

[delicate meteor]

getting challenger in lol takes luck, if you one trick something that is op in current patch/meta

[slim plover]

harder savage would be like abrel normal~ ish difficulty

[spiral thistle]

This isn't discussion. If you aren't answering a question move over to #lost-ark-discussions instead

[mystic mountain]

o suddenly smite, wtf man, not even same camera angle in smite., not even same type of play what you on about lmao

[maiden locust]

Its a moba bro

[steel bough]

Well, some here say hell mode = savage, some say it's not even close

[slate zephyr]

guys

[maiden locust]

Its not savage like olav said ultimate OR higher

[mystic mountain]

wdm the question was and is whats equivelent content of savage or ultimate in Lost ark,

[delicate meteor]

The question was 'what is the most difficult content' and the answer is 'hell mode raids'.

[mystic mountain]

Yup, was answered ty

[slim plover]

savage = normal/hard
ultimate = hell

normal/hard in lost ark doesnt have the same difficulty across the board

abrel normal is harder than a majority of ff14 savage fights

[delicate meteor]

That is irrelevant

[slim plover]

no it is not

[maiden locust]

No its not since they wanted to compare it to ff14

[delicate meteor]

That topic is for #lost-ark-discussions

[spiral thistle]

Ye it's answered. Move on.

[slim plover]

im answering their question and also pointing out that difficulty level is not the same within "normal" or "hard"

[mystic mountain]

I dont know whats the issue, Olav Cyprus and Umberlla Icon guy answered the question, what is this aribtrary ruling on whats dicussions and question? So we are disucssing the question I just asked, jesus

[slim plover]

https://i.imgur.com/Ta4pgXY.png

[steel bough]

thanks, so how does the difficulties work?
Just trying to get a clear picture in my head about the end game content
if Savage would be normal/hard
what is "normal" content? as most ffxiv players dont do savage because it's considered too hard for them

[mystic mountain]

wow..

[delicate meteor]

I can't speak for other games, hell mode in lost ark equalizes your gear and everything, meaning developer decide on player power level and it can never change. So the raid will be the same 'difficulty' even 10 years from now. If that makes sense.

[slim plover]

im thinking how to answer it, but i cant really

[maiden locust]

Normal content would prolly be t1 t2 abyss dungeons and gr ig?

[slim plover]

there is no equivalent of normal mode ff14 for legion raids

normal mode lost ark legion raids would be around ff14 1st and 2nd floor difficulty

but kouku normal kinda messes up with that

hes the third legion raid and has no hardmode, normal mode is already hard basically

actually, right

[maiden locust]

Not a legion raid equivelent but u could prolly compare it to other content

[slate sphinx]

For a hardcore F2P/smaller spender with no-life

• Focus on the Main character, clear isles, complete Adventure books and farm cards before starting with alts in search of T3. Leveling is the last step.
• Level Main, level your army of alts, start doing dailies and with the rest of the day. Complete account stuff.

With path would you choose?

[slim plover]

Valtan Normal / Hard / Hell
Biakiss Normal / Hard / Hell
Kouku Rehearsal / Normal
Abrelshud Dejavu / Normal / Hard

Valtan + Biakiss Normal = 1st or 2nd floor savage difficulty
Valtan + Biakiss Hard = 3rd~~ floor savage difficulty
Valtan + Biakiss Hell = Ultimate difficulty
Kouku Rehearsal = 1st/2nd floor..
Kouku Normal = 4th floor savage difficulty
Abrelshud Dejavu = 1st floor~
Abrelshud Normal P1+2 = 1st floor
Abrelshud Normal P3+4 = 2nd floor
Abrelshud Normal P5+6 = 4th floor

thats how id put it

i've cleared everything and done everything in ff14

normal mode ff14 raids would be comparable to guardian raids i suppose

or abyss raids? if you slightly overgear

[spiral thistle]

Because this isn't a discussion channel. There is an extent to answering a question and shitting up this chat with 2 million posts to "answer" a question when the answer is long gone and it's only discussion and bickering. People should be able to agree to disagree.

[maiden locust]

No if ur a hardcore player u wnana get to t3 asap to learn them gold

[slate zephyr]

not exactly a good way to look at it imo...

[maiden locust]

Also doing isles we dont know yet if it will be nerfed or not, so that depends

[viscid osprey]

do I have to play on hard/hell to progress my gear?

[mystic mountain]

aight man

[slim plover]

hard yes, hell no

[maiden locust]

Olav put it alot better than me

[slate zephyr]

already announced islands rewards will be nerfed, but of course still do them, why would you wanna miss out on free mats? 😛

[maiden locust]

Can u link me?

[viscid osprey]

does hell have more rewards than hard? do hard/hell offer new mechanics as well or do they just change the numbers?

[delicate meteor]

There was an excelent video of Kanon talking about this with Kanima, do you want a link?

[slim plover]

hell is purely vanity

[sly moss]

they announced it but no idea what they changed it to so

need to wait till they drop the patch note

[maiden locust]

Ye thays what i thought

[slate sphinx]

So, the only situation you will level an alt as "hardcore" is when you are stuck, right?

[delicate meteor]

It adds new mechanics, rewards are purely cosmetic (pet and skins, titles etc.)

[spiral thistle]

Go ahead. I'd watch that to see what they have to say.

[maiden locust]

Depending on how they nerf it the ilvl minmax route for the first 3 days changes heavily

[slim plover]

clearing hell = unique title (orange in color, orange title means "flex") AND you have a special title with an icon next to it if you clear every phase in order without a single death inbetween (die in p2, start over in p1)

[delicate meteor]

be warned the title is a bit click baity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D3vsIIC0gM

[kindred token]

You dont have to play hard to progress gear at least for kuku and below. It just take longer with normal

[slate sphinx]

gonna watch! Thanks!

[delicate meteor]

Just skip the P2W topic parts

[viscid osprey]

is lost ark actually pay to gear up? or is there a way to get gear to T3 fast?

[dapper nebula]

? Silver = ? Gold? What's the exchange rate?

[slate sphinx]

wait nearly 2 hours 🤣

[slim plover]

actually, yeah thats true. they give a tiny amount of hardmode mats now through normal

[slate zephyr]

yeah we still dunno how hard they nerfed it, but I think it was a Roxx post or the devblog, fuck me trying to find it atm

[delicate meteor]

The only way to 'buy' power is to buy from other people, some one has to be selling in order for others to buy

[slim plover]

you cant exchange silver to gold, you can exchange gold to silver though

[dapper nebula]

:/ How many silver does it take to get 1 gold

[maiden locust]

He said said u cant

[dapper nebula]

odd

[sly moss]

0 because you can't exchange silver to gold lel

[maiden locust]

Just said(

[delicate meteor]

https://i.redd.it/y75pl5a0gye81.png

[slim plover]

there are some "services" you can do to exchange silver to gold, but its completely player based

[dapper nebula]

ok. So you can have a billion silver and it won't convert to gold. Got it.

[maiden locust]

Its a different currency used for different things

[chilly egret]

Are the engravings in the ability stones fixed or do you choose the engravings to go on that stone?

[dapper nebula]

Thanks, this feels like the best answer

[viscid osprey]

I would always give you 10 gold for a billion silver.

[sly moss]

for some people silver is more useful than gold

[kindred token]

No but in end game you eat up silver more than gold and silver will be the bottleneck

[delicate meteor]

It's random, part of end game grind to get good base stone

[kindred token]

You cant farm silver as efficient that you do with gold

[chilly egret]

Oh okay thanks

[slim plover]

rerolling gems has a hefty silver cost, so sometimes people pay for others to reroll their gems

thats the only way you can really turn it into gold lul

[slate zephyr]

Just to add, this is only for the Legion raids and there's plenty of other tough or interesting endgame content before Legion, everyone new here shouldn't take them for granted imo

[maiden locust]

Aye aye

[dapper nebula]

Hopefully folks understand what I was asking.... I wasn't trying to be obtuse. like 100 pennies = 1 dollar. I assumed there was a transaction rate. Thanks for clearing things up.

[maiden locust]

I feel like guardian raids because everyone takes me for granted 😔

[slim plover]

this is gonna sound sad for the hardcore players but, once normal content has been out for a while they like to nerf it so it becomes less "stressful?" for the casual audience

since doing legion raids is mandatory to progress gear

[dapper nebula]

Timestamp "pre-nerf" can show you did a thing "when it was hard" though right?

[slim plover]

not really?

idk

biakiss was released early 2021? iirc and got nerfed like last december

[delicate meteor]

they are keeping hell mode difficulty intact, so your hell mode bragging rights are always relevant

[slim plover]

that is true

the ultimate brag in lost ark is having the deathless title

[delicate meteor]

That's what is so great about hell mode and I love it. Not sure I will ever do it, though, lmao.

[slim plover]

the non deathless title kinda is irrelevant

for baltan atleast

[delicate meteor]

Deathless also means you didn't buy boost

[slim plover]

well.. you can always pilot it but yeah

then youre giving someone your steam

[viscid osprey]

once I'm 50, is it meaningful to continue leveling or could I just do the offered content, even T3 without caring about my level?

[slate zephyr]

it's all part of the progression, 50 is soft-cap and you slowed down a lot.

Lost Ark is not a game where reaching hard-cap is the first thing people do or should do.

Just not designed that way.

[pure yacht]

hey does lost ark item system work like wow or d3?

[delicate meteor]

neither? closer to d3, but not really

[slate zephyr]

it's sorta both? but also KR MMO-ish...

[pure yacht]

have you guys played d3?

[slate zephyr]

of course

Lost Ark has random stats, but that's about it

[pure yacht]

So is the game for an example like when you play dh and get yangs recurve, does it roll like random stats and a item skill stat or ?

[slate zephyr]

yeah random in-between values or w/e it's called, like anywhere between 300-500 class main stat etc.

[pure yacht]

aite

[delicate meteor]

there is not much variety in 'base' items

[pure yacht]

thank you :)

[delicate meteor]

lost ark gearing is about increasing the quality of an item you already have, not finding new ones

[slate zephyr]

well that former part is more so for late T3 endgame

you always find new ones in early tiers 😛

[pure yacht]

Sounds fun :D

[delicate meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2d2gG-5YV0 on that topic

[pure yacht]

I'm a big fan of the fighting style in d3 and i like the questing and alot of mmo aspects of wow and final fantasy so i hope this game really hits the mark

[slim plover]

that is true for armor + weapon, but for accessories its rng

[delicate meteor]

lost ark plays a little different to d3, there's lost of questing like in wow and ff 🙂

[pure yacht]

It looks like the same playstyle though

[slate zephyr]

somewhat

[delicate meteor]

You have to give it a try, hard to describe, you have to experience it

[slate zephyr]

it's more of it's own thing

[pure yacht]

When do i unlock chaos dungeons

[slate zephyr]

from the mix of other things

[delicate meteor]

Yea, it's totally unique unlike any other game

[slate zephyr]

50, at tier 1 endgame.

[delicate meteor]

level 50 after you do some quests

[pure yacht]

How many times a day can i do them

[slate zephyr]

unlimited now, but only first 2 times per day gives normal drops.

but it is also not the main content

[hollow inlet]

Does Una task reputation stack between alts and main?

[slate zephyr]

you'll have to do other stuff too, so best not think of it as an properly isometric arpg

[pure yacht]

because it looks really close to a rift from diablo and i loved just going in and hitting a bunch of stuff ahha

[slim plover]

are you asking if you can do the same rep twice a day on 2 chars?

[delicate meteor]

There is something similar to greater rift called CUBE, you need a 'key' to do it same as d3 (before it was removed)

[slate zephyr]

completion/progress does, but only 1 quest can be completed per day.

[hollow inlet]

Im asking if completion of the same una task on every alt contributes to the reputation

oh i see, gotcha

[slim plover]

you can do the quest itself multiple times a day, but only 1 char can give reputation towards it

there is no way to speed it up..

[pure yacht]

How many times a day can you do the cube

[slate zephyr]

it requires a rng drop ticket... >_< or if they give them out via events, so not often.

[delicate meteor]

unlimited, you need key (ticket) to do it, though, it also plays like a roguelike dungeon, usually done in a group

[pure yacht]

D:

[urban rune]

idk what class to main
shadowhunter seems cool tho

[pure yacht]

Wardancer is dope af

I'm gonna play it

looks so cool

[urban rune]

[slate zephyr]

I know what you're thinking, the devs want to make more chaos dungeon like endgame content too, I guess they know the isometric arpg crowd would love it.
but their focus is on getting other stuff done first before maybe working on that.

[delicate meteor]

#lost-ark-discussions is more appropriate for class picking topic 🙂

All classes are viable, bard and paladin are not accepted by community as dps. The only things you need to know.

[pure yacht]

yeah atleast it's awesome to know they understand the fun aspect of going in a destroying everything in a big crowd :D

also, what is aeromancer

[delicate meteor]

No idea

[slate zephyr]

newly announced subclass, for a new Archetype(6th one) only in KR server

[pure yacht]

ooh okay

what classes are on the kr servers that aren't on eu?

[sly moss]

scouter, reaper, destroyer, arcane, summoner, lance master

[viscid osprey]

arcana

[slate zephyr]

7 classes(not including 2 announced but unreleased ones)
Destroyer, Lance Master, Scouter, Reaper, Artist, Summoner, Arcana

AGS names for some of them will be different fyi

[cedar wharf]

Hammerman, Glavier, Machinist, Poisonwaifu, Painter, Summoner, Arcanist

[pure yacht]

Why aren't they comming with?

[cedar wharf]

i think Machinist and Arcanist was actually leaked, the rest is in line with AGS translation quality

[slate zephyr]

so that they can have something for post release content

[pure yacht]

actually

[slate zephyr]

dunz don't make me delete your posts

[cedar wharf]

[pure yacht]

the gear system, if a stat is better then the one you currently have is it green then?

[slate zephyr]

no, rarity works like MMO rarity

if going back to previous example, like white gear have stats between like 50-100 something, green then be 100-200 etc.

that sort of thing

[pure yacht]

yes

okay got it, thank you :)

Can you like farm mounts in this game? Like a boss that has a 1% chance of drop or something like that?

[cedar wharf]

there are mounts for zone completion

and from islands/reputation

[slate zephyr]

yeah nothing from drops

[cedar wharf]

don't think there is a boss drop mount but i think SG realized that cosmetic rewards from raid content are pog and ppl like them. they recently added head cosmetics and pets to an endgame raid boss which caused a lot players to try that boss again

[pure yacht]

Who is SG

[slate zephyr]

they are being f2p friendly, they don't want that shit tied behind low rate rng %

the devs, Smilegate

[cedar wharf]

thats the best part tbh, it not being some 0.1% drop but you just get it after x clears

[vagrant hearth]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/launch-details
is the region timezone shown in the article before or after DST?

[slate zephyr]

view this: #announcements message
it's auto set to your timezone.

[pure yacht]

oh yeah, when is the server released when i live in CET?

[slate zephyr]

view link above

[vagrant hearth]

oh shit wtf

[cedar wharf]

just convert from UTC thats why its universal time

[slate zephyr]

discord script auto shows your timezone

[steel bough]

Is T1, T2, T3 are expansions?
It seems people talk about them as difficulties more so then different content.

[vagrant hearth]

thank you

[mental ether]

With the concern over names does it make sense to create a bunch of characters right off the bat to try to get names that I might want and guess at the class I will end up playing (i.e. make a mage, warrior, martial artist first) or is it a probably a bad idea to create a bunch of characters before you have an idea of what you want to main.

[cedar wharf]

yea its like content tiers, t1 was the base game, then they added t2 and now current is t3. comes with new bosses, gear, content, zones etc

[slate zephyr]

sorta yeah, the convo before can be confusing for newbies like you, because they removed difficulty for lower tier endgame.

[cedar wharf]

makes sense, im creating all my toons. also if you create a toon early and level it later it will already stack the rested bonus for endgame.

[steel bough]

So why are people talking about it as if it's difficulty based? there is no "normal" content in t3?
You get to super crazy hard the moment you get to the new content?

[slate zephyr]

up to you, either you spend money on editing their appearance later or hope they give out free tickets for it....

[slate zephyr]

yes there's still normal, you do Normal then Hard etc.

pretty much only those 2, since as mentioned before Hell is another whole different thing

[sudden stream]

Does anyone know if presets have are compatible with other versions? Like Russian presets being compatible with Korean or JP clients.

Want to have some presets for characters done to save myself time at launch

[cedar wharf]

we cant be sure, you just have to make on, edit it for our version and hope.
there are changes, some options changed etc. usually it should be possible but with our build being kinda different it hards to say

[wintry hatch]

what do i need to boost a char with gold only? i have some lvl 50 but the checkbox is grey out

[cedar wharf]

check #announcements there are a ton of information and a video

[vagrant hearth]

#announcements message
does this also auto set to my time zone?

[cedar wharf]

yes every time its grey like that its the script

[vagrant hearth]

how do you do that

[wintry hatch]

can you link me? i only found this post about eu. but i want to boost on ru

[cedar wharf]

RU doesn't have it

[slate zephyr]

mailru for w/e stupid reason refuses to add it, though we all know the real reason draining foreigners wallets

[cedar wharf]

i think they said its easy to abuse for botters and farmers

[wintry hatch]

oh lol there is a button on elevation where you can use trison pass but its disabled for ever? wtf 😄

[cedar wharf]

Trixion pass is something different than knowledge transfer

[wintry hatch]

ye i know but at the same window, there is a greyed checkbox for gold boost

[cedar wharf]

oh yea 😄 i mean mail.ru

[vagrant hearth]

are the gold and platinum avatars only claimable on one character each?

[slate zephyr]

no it's only on 1 char you claim it on

[vagrant hearth]

ah yeah, that

that sucks

[slate zephyr]

the nortern one might be not class bound, but archetype bound

[paper wind]

@slate zephyr hey, i want to ask is there other ways i can buy cash shop item on russia server if im from sea. i saw some people here say they bought japan prepaid card for japan server

[kindred token]

there is paypal in ru....

[hollow inlet]

are ships shared between aalts and main?

[kindred token]

yes

[slate zephyr]

yeah you can try paypal I guess, and for KR/JP you buy game cards etc.

[vagrant hearth]

is the stronghold shared as well?

[kindred token]

yes

[vagrant hearth]

[turbid smelt]

what are the rewards for abyss dungeons? it doesnt matter if you do them as soon as you can or whether you're higher ilvl right?

[slate zephyr]

mats to craft the abyss gear, gold, books and cards.
you don't need them to even progress to T3 fyi.

[pure yacht]

If i've got a i9 11900K, 32 gb of ram and a 3080TI will all settings on the max it can be, be significant decrease in fps?

[turbid smelt]

Do we have to craft abyss gear at all? So we can do them pretty much before moving to Rohendel right?
Also, is it 4 abyss up to 460 which you can do weekly on each character?

[slate zephyr]

If they were to launch with only t1 or t2, then yeah you'll need them, but since it's t3 at launch, nope you don't need to them to progress.
it's mix of 4 or 8man ones, even at t3, and yeah weekly either 3 times or 1 time(unsure if AGS launch with get the update), per char.
still, feel free to try them out at least once, and they're fine to complete with chaos dungeon gear.

[slate zephyr]

yeah you're good, though 3000 series are not properly supported atm.
no idea if they will get it signed before or shortly after launch.

[woven moth]

Any idea if i can still play on RU even if my VIP status on exitlag runs out?

[turbid smelt]

Thank you!

[slate sphinx]

Leaks show 1 try for t1 and t2 abyss dungeon

[trim void]

Yeah that was the latest change SGR made to abyss dungeons, they changed it to 3 attempts and giving no gold and then changed it to 1 attempt and giving gold again recent enough, was a weird back and forth with the changes

[slate sphinx]

Less time sink with alts

[spiral thistle]

It's not time sink when you got immense value in terms of accessories and stones

This is just 66% less accessories and stones in circulation. Pros and cons to both.

[tight nexus]

wait, so I just came upon an info , 1340 ilvl is enough to do all content and argos when it comes out right? is it hard to get 1340 on let's say 4 characters?

[spiral thistle]

Nothing is hard about it. Just takes time.

[tight nexus]

ok cool, when I mean hard it's like a serious grindfest or just normal meh

[spiral thistle]

Nothing is a grindfest because you can't grind anything since it's all time gated content.

[tight nexus]

with that single sentence you made evrything more claer for me, didn't know everything was timegated, now it explains a lot xD

[spiral thistle]

It's all just dailies and weeklies

[kindred token]

in korea those reward are x3. 1 run limit in korea now is 3 run in RU

so it PURE efficiency

[trim void]

argos is ilvl 1370, 1340 is for the hard T3 abyss dungeons

[tight nexus]

ooo right, mb, yeah, when I got that info, argos was mentioned but more specifically the catch up system from 1340 to 1370( which normally exists, right? 😛 )

[trim void]

We won't have any catch up systems

[woven moth]

@trim void yo frijjjj,can i still play RU version if my exitlag VIP runs out?

[trim void]

I couldn't

[woven moth]

Ah,so basically i can't either then lol...Guess its time to bypass and make new acc for exitlag lol

[tight nexus]

hmmmmm then i must have missheard, pretty sure I heard catch up systems will be in place when argos/more t3 comes out. Oh well, we will see xD

[trim void]

you will be atleast 1370 ilvl anyway by the time argos comes out if you are going to be playing 4 characters, the max ilvl we can reach with the base T3 we have is 1420 ilvl

[steel bough]

Question, So, as far as I understood, the game works in a way you have a Main and alts, how viable is it to change your main? what if I started as a paladin, created a Berserker as an alt, then a month later decided I like playing the Berserker better and want to change

[broken trellis]

before t3 its pretty easy to

[spiral thistle]

Catchup is for lower tiers mate. You don't implement catchup for current tier.

T3 is kinda special though since you got low-mid-high T3

[spiral thistle]

Very doable

[trim void]

Really depends how far along you have gotten the first character, it will take you a bit to change, it just comes down to time your new main will eventually pass the old main though

[paper wind]

hi, anyone can help? I'm playing on russia server. when i try to load the game, the usual icon comes out (game npc in the middle of the screen), after that the game doesn't load/come out and nothing happens

[trim void]

better off asking in #ru-lost-ark-help as this channel is for the NA/EU version

[slate zephyr]

that seems like CBT pic, hard to tell without seeing rest of it.

what's with the cutoff text etc., doesn't seem like proper final launch product

[turbid smelt]

If you manage to get to ilvl460 can you do t1 chaos and t2 chaos in the same day and get full rewards?

[slate zephyr]

t2 is ilvl 600

[spiral thistle]

No because T2 is i600

And chaos is chaos no matter what chaos you do

[turbid smelt]

oh. I meant 460+ chaos

Is this the same as guardians?

[spiral thistle]

Once you've completed any daily with rewards it's just removed for you

No matter what you decide to do

[slate zephyr]

2 chances, that's it for the day

[turbid smelt]

I remember sometime in s1 you could get rewards for different tiers.

[trim void]

it's one of my images from the leak doc that was shown in the videos recently released, it's from the ptr build

[turbid smelt]

I guess that's better 🙂

Thank you both! Does this apply to guardian raid souls as well?

[spiral thistle]

#lost-ark-help message

[slate zephyr]

do file repair in gamecenter

[smoky osprey]

ayo is there's smtg like wow armory for lost ark

where u can see ppls characters and gear etc

[trim void]

There is on the KR version but don't expect it on the NA/EU one

[smoky osprey]

ok thx

[visual peak]

Do we know how many character slots NA is starting with and what the max is?

[slate zephyr]

6, max is 24

[cedar wharf]

6/24

[visual peak]

Thank you

[proud apex]

24???

[trim void]

Yes, 24 is the current max character slots per server

[proud apex]

o

[slate zephyr]

next year 30

[tight nexus]

ok so I just double checked to make sure I didn't misshear it , so the catchup is mentioned in the Kanon and Kanima interview starting at 01:31:15. I was sure I wasn't going insane XD

[worldly pollen]

will there be a dps problem if the party has bard + paladin?

[slate zephyr]

depends on content, but generally not really....

[prime karma]

hey. can i chose where to play in game(eu or na)?

[worldly pollen]

like for most of the end-game content

[spiral thistle]

Yeah he says upgrade above 1340.........

[trim void]

I am at 01:40:35 so far and he has not mention catch up mechanics, just that it will be easier to upgrade your alts due to the research from the estate that reduces materials from enhancing

[slate zephyr]

yeah, it's all selectable in one client

[prime karma]

nice. thx

[slate zephyr]

for AGS server launch, yes. For future content such as Legion, no, unless lots of ppl in the party outgears the content vastly.

[worldly pollen]

Hmmm, I see

[tight nexus]

i might have formulated in the initial post wrong, but he does say catch up system at exactly 1:31:35 to get from 1340 to 1370 to get to argos

[spiral thistle]

Yeah, why would we have catchup for content that isn't even in the game?

[maiden locust]

Hi, any further info on EU servers?

[tight nexus]

that's what I'm trying to udnerstand xD

[maiden locust]

Time to create 30 alts like a no life

[spiral thistle]

That's because we dont. They add catchup when previous content gets "redundant" as the name implies. It's called catchup to help people catch up.

[tight nexus]

ah, and when you said tier, I thought of like tier 4, not a tier/phase in the actual t3 😂

[spiral thistle]

I specifically wrote that T3 is special because it has low-mid-high

[tight nexus]

100% i glanced over that part

[spiral thistle]

Since T3 is the only current tier where you go above +15

[placid otter]

Hi, just wondering in fighter's diary there are 3 tabs:

1. Arena
2. Mythic Raids
3. Raids on the Legions

What content is number 2 and 3?

[drowsy anchor]

Does Crystalline Aura if you buy multiple founders pack ?

[spiral thistle]

It stacks yes

[cedar wharf]

stack, yes

[drowsy anchor]

sick

[slate zephyr]

frankly T3 doesn't have any actual catch-up mechanics yet, it's just balances to make things easier, and not a 100% upgrade chances or no gold cost when upgrading. @tight nexus

[cedar wharf]

i assume the fighters diary is the book of coordination. all the different translations are kinda messing me up. those pages are for hell mode raids I assume, those are the hardest raids and the gear is also normalized

[slate zephyr]

equalized guardian raids, and Legion raids.

[summer gyro]

the aura comes in a chest so you can either extend the duration or hold onto it

[slate zephyr]

usually they're not in chests, and expires in 90days....

[tight nexus]

righto! So yeah, I'll be doing exactly that, put my alts on 1340 and maybe go with main to 1370 or wait for argos release to maybe get the catch up 😛

[placid otter]

got it, thanks for the info 🙂

[summer gyro]

oh i was just going off of what roxx said

prolly not a chest tho, reading it

[slate zephyr]

yeah most of the time packages or events like these have them in boxes, and won't count till you receive or open them, but from events that are exchanged via ingame NPCs are not in boxes.

[slate zephyr]

it is still not a catch-up, as I said there's no 100% upgrade chance and removal of gold for upgrading in T3, it's a thing only in T1/T2 because of the redundant tier, but for AGS server, they are modding this to be a bit different from what I'm seeing

[drowsy anchor]

do I do it lol, had 200 set aside for it but adding the silver for the aura & pet is tempting me

Canadian price do be fucked tho :/

[slate zephyr]

up to you, but also move on and stay on topic, cheers

[oblique dove]

2 is mythic guardian which is an equalized version of certain guardian raids.
3 is hell mode legion raid which is the equalized version of the legion generals (t3 endgame raids)

[hidden yew]

So we get knowledge transfer
If i boost a fresh character, it does all the sidequests too or only those that ive done before or no sidequest done?

[bleak finch]

I thought it was just Main Story quest

[gleaming cradle]

If the AH and names are region wide, does that mean i can swap items on characters between servers?

[delicate meteor]

Main quest up to a point

[exotic charm]

Hey everyone, I am completely new here. I was wondering if I should consider anything when choosing a server?

not sure how competitive I can be in pvp or pve because of time constraints I have due to my work, but I am committed to complete everything. 😄

[glass orchid]

anyone have an idea how i died here? did I do something wrong?

[summer gyro]

first: server choice doesnt matter that much for most things, check the pinned messages for what is cross server. if you dont really plan on doing guild v guild stuff we can kinda pick whatever server

[exotic charm]

Thanks!

[slate zephyr]

besides what oj said, ping should be the other obvious choice.
also this game is friendly with your time no need to worry~

[tranquil forge]

btw can class engravings from other classes drop in jewelery?

[maiden locust]

Nah only to your class

[tranquil forge]

so if someoen rly wanna tryhard, will do like 4 of the same class?

[misty tree]

I guess u were too close up front or u were slightly out of the 'triangle'

[maiden locust]

There alot of sources you can get jewellery so no need for that really

[summer gyro]

technically its more efficient, and if you really like the class that works. But really, playing alts on other classes is usually funner

[slate zephyr]

latency could also be a factor, you were just a tad bit too slow/fast.

[glass orchid]

I thought so thanks

[tranquil forge]

@summer gyro Indeed, but selling the jewelery in alts will be almost the same right? SInce you can buy on main

[summer gyro]

yeah, its just a preference thing really

[versed dove]

is it just me that cant understand engraving system and accessories? like does it become easier once i play with it

[summer gyro]

yup! youll likely understand it much better once you can play with it in game, same with most of the complex systems in this game

[versed dove]

it looks super complicated but im just dumb 😭

[summer gyro]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPa0yiicDo this video helped me understand it a bit better. if it doesnt help you thats ok, youll understand it after messing with it ingame

[spiral thistle]

Was just about to tip that video

[versed dove]

worst part is, i've watched a video on engravings 😭 but still kinda loading

il try watching that one tho, thank u

[summer gyro]

i did too, this one really breaks it down (hence the length) and how you can actually use that info too

[elfin condor]

This is your Kanon on Red Bull

[high badger]

hey everyone is there a limit of characters per account ? if so what is it ?

[trim void]

6 free slots, 18 paid slots to a total of 24 per server

[high badger]

i asked per account because there's like 9 or 10 servs and i was wondering if we could theoratically make 60 characters

[trim void]

yes

[delicate meteor]

50 characters per region as well, I believe

[high badger]

ok thanks bud, it's not worth to make that many alts anyway but it's still good to know 😄

[maiden locust]

what does quality affect for the accessory's?

[delicate meteor]

it's more efficient to make another account, tbh

[high badger]

why's that ?
