yea Zinn for me probably
as much as I wanna go kadan since it probably gonna be the biggest population one
awesome thanks!
I dont wanna be stuck in queue or servers being on fire since i pay for headstart lol
so for guild, will they have schedule to raid etc like WoW?
Zinn being the second is good enough
ya thats true
eh that depend on guild lol, but yes
yeah fer sure
Just a quick question about end game stuff. Once you’ve done daily stuff, is there any repeatable group content to do? Like m+ in WoW or greater rifts etc in Diablo?
Infinite chaos
if you want spoilers, just youtube legion raid, there some cool looking raids
but really u should go out and collect some stuff or alts
really depend on guild to guild basis
ah, i just dont know how hard raid is
most try hard guild probably wanna do all raids every lockout on all 6+ alt
WoW classic? kekw just a night
it goes from eazy raids to a 30 minute 8 man raid where every misstake is a wipe and you have restart
damn lol
ive heard in kr servers they have a system where you can transfer gold to royal crystals? am i completely off on this or does it really exist?
the raid is pure 30 minute boss fight etc
yea similar to WOW token basically
question; Is guild creation done through a UI once you get past prologue, or is it done at an NPC? my guild is trying to map out how to best and fastest secure our guild name on launch
Not royal crystal but its blue crystals
ah
if you selling RC you get gold
if you selling gold you get BC
RC get converted to BC
ohh i see so rc to gold is there but not the other way around
Bc to gold.
Not Rc to gold
When someone with royal crystals sells crystals to another player, the crystals get converted to blue crystals -5% in exchange for the gold
U can convert
to Blue Crystals
https://youtu.be/r9sZoyQXwug?t=390 if you from wow, asmongold did a react to a legion raid if you wanna watch along, abit spoilers but personally am never gonna be that good and watching the raid is kinda cool
perfect!
is there any way you can convert back to royal crystals
im just trying to figure out what type of guild to go for and schedule etc
please note this is one of the more hardcore raid
damn lol i dont mind yea
what buff does the pet from founders pack give?
CE mythic raider in wow so yea
sadly no, from what I understand
ah ok
but if you like me, who just wanna buy costumes
i think random
other players can buy costumes and put it on the AH
ye pretty much
what type of buffs are there? like 1% dmg and stuff?
So pretty much anything can be obtained with gold as long as someone is pumping RC items to AH
I only played in beta for 20 hours so I barely remember
Didnt think our version of pets gonna have random buffs?
didnt they remake the pets so that it all consistent now if you have the crystal aura?
found it you can reroll pet buffs
reroll will be still random?
or was that for picking up loot only
will always have pick up loot i believe plus random buff
ah ok
The magnitude of the buff is also randomly rolled. Each reroll costs seven Crystals.
which crystal
it says "one of Lost Ark's free currencies"
so BC
the blue ones

is scrapper good? 👀 ill play her since many of the classes i wanted to play wont be on at launch
Depends on your build eh
Does that go down per Tier like gems
can it go 20%?
i dont think so actually
That sheet says up to 20 for spec
just took the values of your sheet
yea only that one
all class are viable so play what u want
Top player playing DPS bard can outdps bad player Gunslinger
I'm looking at that twitch promotion that will be live on the 8th, how do you link your account to get the twitch drops? I don't use twitch much
when you click to claim, it will take u to the page where it will tell you how, no worries
login and go to settings > connections
click on steam and login via steam
How do I get past the Procyon Wall
and you good to go
yeah
just make sure you have one of the twitch streamer that have drops enabled in the background muted at 144p (to save bandwidth) when the event comes out cause you need to watch 4h per tier reward
The quest should tell u the requirements needed
@umbral hazel thanks a lot, I just need to be watching them on twitch, don't need to click on any links or anything?
indeed, but after hitting X hours you probably would need to click claim though. not so sure on this event since they doing abit different to other twitch event games
ever character slot is $8? or do they increase the more you buy
it must be similar to Elyon twitch drops
@umbral hazel the claim stays on the screen, it doesn't show up in chat and then gets burried under a bunch of messages or something
yes, but alternative you can just click here if you somehow lost the tab etc
there also a collective drop page for all active and past drops
ah cool, I feel so old, don't know any of this stuff heh
heh
technology just go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr these years
I’m old too I’ll just have my kids show me what to do 
dunno if it would be lit to play LA on a steam deck 😛
well the game have controller support so probably
for the sorceress avatar from the plat packages, there is this red version aswell.. is this in there to choose between the blue and red one? Or is it literally just the blue one
not sure we can dye those?
Think I read the sorc is avatar is dyeable
wait it is?
the sorc and striker one
yeah but it doesnt look completely the same
bcs they looks kinda similiar but not 100% the same
maybe check somewhere here on this site if you can find the other skin, cause it probably not the platinum skin since its not under this tab
I'm curious about how the refund system would work. So when it says you can get a refund on the founders pack before release does that mean tuesday or friday?
i would assume you would have to have played fewer than 2hrs as well
yeah probably
before 8th and less than 2 hours most likely
since thats the release, and 11th is just f2p release which have nothing todo with purchase
at least thats how it worked with other game that had similar system
ight, well I mean I doubt i'll have to refund because i'm pretty sold on the game but just in case
youve played during beta?
they just added some mesh to the red outfit for the skirt and changed the top easy to do
unfortunately not, I've seen tons of videos but I didn't actually get to feel the game for myself
oh
which pack did you get?
plat?
bronze
oh
I want to get plat but im not sure if I should
yea bronze is practically for headstart only
bronze is...
so if you dont value the headstart, wait 3 days
ehhh
I probably will actually end up getting it just for the fancy features, I definitely value the headstart tho
ah okay. isee
guys if I have a 970 gtx, should I even worry about dx11?
I guess I should say i'm very confident in myself liking this game since I like mmos, like arpgs, have seen plenty of lost ark content
I mean dx11 > dx9
gtx 970 can use dx12 technically
so yes?
Its just that 100$ is still intimidating for a game i've never played before
idk if my shit PC will change anything lol
better optimized and 1% fps, so definitely. Regardless if you have shit PC or not
personally I purposely skipped gold/plat founders and just gonna spend the equal amount on
since I gonna get more from that value wise
its 7k which is 70$ right?
unless you value the gold skin/plat skin(two different skin) and the mount plat founders isnt that much value
Hi I need help
atm the assumption is 1k = 10$ but usually when you buy BIG packs you get a tiny bit more amount at least its that way in other games
Yeah definitely, do we know how much does the crystalline aura comes to?
which is why am waiting
10$ is my bet
but some said 12$
which is a odd number imo
hmm yeah
but you can buy aura with 
You can bet they’ve maximized the money
so if you a nerd you probably can sell
for
and buy aura that way
To make it annoying
Plat is basically just for the collectors shit more than anything I feel like, since you can get most of the stuff in the chests just by playing
just ask, and if someone know they gonna try to help.
yup
yeah I mean I'll probably just get plat and if I really hate the feel of the game within 2 hours then I'll refund
I’m looking to buy bf is it possible here?
and if not, oh well 🙂
please tell me bf is something ingame
i find this pretty helpful lol
Ty dusk
I honestly didn't even know you could get multiple packs
you can get gold and plat if you want double the founder skin which is a legit thing imo
how often do they release new skins in KR/RU?
founder skin is the thing for the classes?
might be a stupid question but the shared bank system between your characters is free right and you can pay to expand the space?
these are the PLATINUM skin
you get ONE only 1
yeah I know about that part, I didn't even think gold got a skin
https://lostarkive.com/model-viewer/?model_viewer_cat=platinum
if you want to look at the model
so chose wisely 😛
this is the gold skin
idek my main class yet 😬
you also only get one, not my taste hence the skip
dont need to redeem it until you know
yeah that's why I'm gonna hold it for a while
know the feeling
stuck between some, hard times of not getting your main in launch
Idek what server i'm choosing, yall know what the big NA east one is supposed to be?
personally I rather just buy
and buy those type of skins 
the first one in the list
Azena
Im just doing plat solely for the fact that it bundles the crystals, aura, character slot, and a bunch of random goodies all in one
most likely
- cosmetics
there this
honestly I find the plat skin and gold skin to be meh at best after seeing what other skin there are in the shop
rather buy and use the shop skins
how much are skins in royal crystals?
vary 10-25$ depending on skin bundle
so like ~1k - 2.5k if we follow KR/RU price list
this game is going to take my money real easily if i like the skins 😦
(Also wanna mention there are free skins to be unlocked ingame and with
)
the game has nice skins
REALLY nice skins
i found a french site that has photos of most if not all the skins
i was impressed tbh
link plz
can i post link in here?
I too, wouldn't mind that link
is eu and na separate servers? so na players cant see eu players' items on the auction house
I posted like two dozen links
EU and NAE and NAW I believe
ok
at the top theres resources, then you go to suits and select the year, the site shows the outfits released by date
nice
at first i wanted to buy platinum, but then i saw the outfit wasnt exclusive, and the mount doesnt look that good
so i might buy gold or bronze and just buy extra cristals
bronze +
is my way
wait the platinum outfit isn't even exclusive? :9
bronze or gold, this is the question
yeah i was told you can buy it in shops, its only exclusive compared to the other bundles
You can buy it in the shop
wow
the only exclusive one is the Northern Lawmaker
Gold best value technically
a little misleading to be described as "skin only available to platinum founders"
in gold and plat
dam
4k
= 40$ ish
crystal aura = 10$ ish
everything else is bonus
but i think you can sell them on auction house, so you might be able to get it and the mount for gold
does soulfist have any good skins?
then the gold it will be
I don't know if you can buy the Login Screen and structure from the shop though?
#LostArk #showcase #gameplay #guide #soulmaster
Skin playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoCzXSwIeDFTqHCt47kyWP60ftOEi1yoq
lancer got real good one from this summer
like holy shit, soulfist is one of the best class with the bests skins imo
if only I liked the playstyle more
you either hit the ball or not
this has been informative and now i'm confused on whether to do bronze gold or plat
gold if you like the northen skin
the skins look so good
bronze + 40$ worth of
if you want store skins most likely
The value is definitely there for the Plat package, but I think people are saying it's not exclusive, so you can always get it in game later
(banking on the bonus
that I hope you get when buying a big pack)
did the y have a bonus in New World?
havent heard anything bout the plat skin being buyable later ingame tbh
Good question, I should know this since I played hundreds of hours of that game
but most likely? most if not all game have it lol
well, it's amazon that we are talking about
i quit that game after staying in q for 6 hours on my weekend
I think people are basing it off the KR shop images that have been going around, 25k crystals for the skins
but that's KR pricing of course
250 us dollars, damn
25k= 25 000 crystals
well KR has different prices
^
^^
its the same in BDO
ohh, i seee
my brain is doin backflips trying to determine if unique platinum pixels are worth the money
would not surprise me if it is 250 for all of them here
i think it depends if you value the mount and the outfit
^ This
if u argue like this there is barely a reason to spent money on a game 😄
If you think it looks good, get it. Don't let others tell you what you think looks good lol 😛
People want exclusive stuff in every MMORPG, they are willing to pay for it a lot
unless i want to look cool early on
- i want more skins and not some pay to progress in my store
Does anyone know if the northern lawmaker skins have their own weapon skins? I saw plenty of gifs/screenshots where it looks like there might be one
i think i saw on a forum post that it will have 3 color to choose from and weapon skins
not 100% sure
https://lostarkive.com/model-viewer/?model_viewer_cat=northern-lawmaker
no weapon here at least
do you have any idea how they will release skins in the store?
so...if you dont like the gold founders skin and the pet bronze is better in value?
gold probably better value
if you just want headstart and dont care about the other stuff bronze is the way to go
if you gonna be buying
at the end of they day
i think gold is the best value
scroll up steve if you wanna know more
well, if you want to buy some crystals down the line, gold might be better
we been talking bout it for the past hour or so lol
with a few links
well bronze +
if you're not buying the gold pack
@umbral hazel There's a lot of stuff about the avatars that the model viewer doesn't show
Gold pack > Bronze +
most likely (Even with big purchase bonus)
icic ty
Will people be buying the plat pack?
how many players will be playing this game at release? 500k? 1mil?
well steam says that the plat is the best seller behind dying light 2
so i guess people bought it
same
not in number of sales but in total profit (for packages)
ah i see, well silver and bronze packs arent far behind
silver is scam imo lol
i don't get silver, how is that even an option
Well from what i kept looking around, if you plan to play the game for a long time, you cant go wrong with gold or plat
plat only worth if you care bout plat skins/mount imo, which apparently isnt limited according to a few people earlier here
the mount is exclusive to it, but you can sell it on the auction from what i know
this is was japan got from platinum 
😦

way better
wait that's sick
im jealous asf i haven't seen that till now
I feel robbed
ok
yup
so much better than our ugly doggo
Oh wow
yeah deep fake doggie aint my thing
Look at that! and compare to this shit https://images.ctfassets.net/umhrp0op95v1/4ZEEYd2h9C0szyavU6An56/d9e59e364fa78139806250f2d2eb3aaf/LA_Founders_Mounts_740x420.jpg
Orz
🐲
haha
theres a trailer with the doggo ingame
the latest one, they have it running and all that
yeah but I've already bought plat
when did you?
Well if you really regret it, you can refund it anytime before 8th on steam
This week I think.
no matter when you bought it
you can still refund it then
my friend refunded gold to buy plat today cuz he likes the mount
if you really like the skins and all that
ah yeah I dont mind its like 99.99 anyway so I'll keep it
im probably just gonna keep my plat
2 week policy
Anytime if its a pre-order/purchase
2 week/2h is for released game
even better
and even than they sometime refund anyway
No mans sky
I’m still trying to pick a main between demonic/blade or a mage haha
isnt battlefield 2042 getting a bunch of refunds
funny thing when I bought that I got a popup window that I cant get that and I must agree to their terms haha - its not legal in EU
same but then i watched like 5 videos of tips from veterans and i learned that it doesnt matter what i choose cuz i will end up with 6 alts anyway
Yeah I have absolutely no clue what I should main in all honesty
Its not binding just missleading people which apparently is not illegal
don't talk shit about that game, my friend worked on it
hey i didnt talk shit I was just saying 
misleading isnt cool anyway and Nintendo lost as well.
Demonic looks fun haha
that game is perfectly balanced and without any issues
Always fun to read EU terms like Bigpoint etc bs
I was thinking to play a martial artist cuz i want to play lancer that isnt released yet, and if i buy outfit for martial artist i can use them on lancer later on
¯_(ツ)_/¯
no and yes
some skins is class specific, those works on any of the advance classes
you can't go wrong with a bard
but most skins are adv class specific
I say most, but it prob like all at 99.99% or something lol
yeah the bard plat outfit looks the best imo
from what I seen
Where can you see the plat outfits?
have anybody pinned them?
is leveling up faster at a certain point/level?
Paladin looks THICK
Every video told me that you level the fastest if you follow the main quest only
there is account progression, so your alt does lvl faster vs your first main
1-50 is pretty easy, ilvl on the other hand gets harder as you progress
Paladin looks like some character from D3
i play mage in like every mmo I play but I'm not too sure if I want to play it in lost ark
i like spear classes
Same
no lancer yet 
Striker outfit looks amazing as well
red and blue on fists and clean outfit
Yeah
which activities are region and server based?
hmm so i missed a few days of dailies on my main, and i saw that there was a 5 day pity system on dailies
where is the gauge for that?
sadly it a legendary and legendaries are in gachas. gl getting them
because it showed 100/50 energy for my daily chaos dungeons but i cant see my extra days of energy or whatever that were supposed to be stored
ohh no
oh no

me and loot boxes 
How do I get past the Procyon wall
like... nooo
!region
Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Cube, Plat Fields, Auction house, Character name, Boss Rush, PVP arenas
Server Specific
Guilds, Friends (list), Islands, Open world, Strongholds (cross in KR), GvG, Life skills (professions), Unranked Arena Premades (queue as party, this is cross server in KR)
Nothing is Cross Region
the ones that KR has cross, we expect to get them too later?
well, at least you can buy them in the auction house
Party Finder is only server right?
I assume
LFG u mean matchmaking?
looking for group
aka party finder
hm am confused by your question now
you mean like, asking in global chat if anyone wanna do X and Y and invite people?
yes
chat is server based
so you asking if party invite is cross server?
yea thats right
that is a no
i see
not if i wanna play with friend from other server XD
why will you choose different servers?
like I play on day 1 (headstart) and he dont have it and casual af
pick 2nd most popular server?
yeah i was just wondering nothing more
I doubt they gonna introduce any char creation lock
the one in your name you mean
hmm theres so many sick skins actually
??
Yeah
Zinnervale is the server name
Angeliqua is my char name
But gacha
i think they might cuz of new world did
Right!?
hence the bronze +
for me
What NA server will you guys be playing?
zinnervale might be a bit too popular thought
dont know yet 😦
Idk either
new world had a server cap of 2k, this game is apparently 200k or so from what I read
wtf lol
I'm actually really considered just refunding now and just getting the bronze pack
I am gonna assume most people gonna go for kadan hence why am avoiding it cause it gonna be to sweat
will u play pally? @little flower
instance based and maps help a lot
Because none of the plat skins blow me away to the point where I'll need it
pally is the best one imo
yeah i will go to kaden cuz all my friends will go there..
No I'm not playin pally I dont think
i want to avoid 6 hour q times, thought about the same reason here
My friend group already has a bard
cant wait to wait half a day to get in 
prob not gonna be as bad as New world
new world was really really the exception
like holy shit
feb 11 queue might be worse tho due to free to paly
to be honest i think the 4th day will be worse then the 1st
I'm actually so damn excited tho like the game happens to release just as latest class on tuesday ends
Anyone bought / plan to 3 Platinum Package from Amazon + 1 from Steam? is that a good idea?
cuz a lot of f2p players will try it
feb 11th will be hell
does anyone know if ranked pvp is region matching/ranking or sever matching/ranking ?
you get a steam code from buying amazon
doesnt stack
with another plat package
!region
i guess the prices are the same everywhere for the bundles no?
Cross Server (Region wide)
Raids, Dungeons, Cube, Plat Fields, Auction house, Character name, Boss Rush, PVP arenas
Server Specific
Guilds, Friends (list), Islands, Open world, Strongholds (cross in KR), GvG, Life skills (professions), Unranked Arena Premades (queue as party, this is cross server in KR)
Nothing is Cross Region
no
Amazon uses $ which is technically cheaper for EU players since steam dingdong uses 1€ = 1$
if that answers your question
not to mention special region on steam have it cheaper due to economy etc
#pvp-general has pinned for all that info I believe @scenic mural
with ratings etc
how much is the plat on NA
who will main Soulfist here?
100$
oh god im getting robbed
- tax
i pay £87,99 which is 119.66$
oh shit
so we can't use 3 amazon code to 1 account, thanks for the info bro !
how about steam?
can we stack the steam with amazon code into 1 account?
no
the tax fee is not included in for us users
you can stack gold+plat
I've heard that KR has weekly quest restrictions for accounts with 6+ character slots, will NA release the same way?
Turkey have bronze for 4$ not sure what their plat cost but it is for sure way cheaper lol. F EU players/UK
no way the tax is almost 20$ in NA
so it will be 100 dollars + what ever tax they got
EU users get it included
why would you want 3 plat package anyway?
hmm, idk 300.000 silver from platinum?
Also, if I buy the bronze founder's pack, would the other packs go down in price, or do they all stay the same?
apparently according to afew, you can buy the plat skins in the store/ah anyway
for not so exclusive skins?
they stay the same price afaik
300k silver is like nothing anyway :c
yes even like raid that give gold limit to 6 toons, if 7th toon you will only get mats
they stay the same, but you can refund bronze and re buy plat as a example
Would you be able to do that on steam if you've played more than two hours?
Sounds finnicky
you can refund anytime on pre-purchase from steam
ah i see , thanks for the info bro
wahaha im kinda new and trying to buy things to progress fast
they count as seperate entities (aka no reduction)
just enjoy the game lol
no
well, maybe. steam have be known to refund sometimes
but it gonna be "finnicky"
sometimes they refund you, if you only played for like 2,5h and stuff like that
small stuffs
one time purchases are kind of a grey zone.
play for a whole day? most likely no
i think that stuff that can be reddemed (skins, gold, crystals etc) cannot be refunded
depends
again they be known to refund, but that also mean your acc get banned on said game
yea must under 2 hrs
EU law and all that, so for some game they allow you to rebuy some straight up ban you and do not and delete the acc
we talking bout 14 days refund EU law on mmo mostly
interesting
so it kinda work differently to the steam own 2 hour rule
i think ff14 does that, if you refund subscription they will ban your account
in NA, it would be chargeback something like that
chargeback is something else though
chargeback is a global thingie and really really shouldt be used
How do I get past storm waters
cause than your steam account gonna be frozen
well, you technically don't "own" any games on steam
again depend on which EU country you from
You have to upgrade your ship, you should be able to get a quest from the Queen in Bern that gives you the materials you need for it.
you do actually "own" it depending on country, some are "lease"
Thanks
yeah, lease
they can end your service at any given time without prior notice
Digital ownership is a debate in EU, gonna be interesting how it goes in the future
@umbral hazel what will you main? Soulfist
?
I love soulfist look, but probably scrapper
since I like the playstyle more
The dragon ability on scrapper is dope
but god do I hate scrappers gloves so fucking much, so much am debating going soulfist anyway
hoping for the leather glove costume for scrapper so I can override the damn gloves
is on day 1 store
(doubt it)
are you sure?
thats soul fist
don't you want to be fabulous?
i will be playing Artillerist with my friends coz they took my Soulfist...
Why not just both of you guys play soulfist?
i will be playing Soulfist as a secondary char
- nobody wants to even consider the Artilerist class.
i might hate my decision thought
it is not really a popular class, but saw many switch to it or get them as alts eventually
well, it looks slow in such a mobile game
what will you main?
not sure yet, was wondering between some classes, since lancer is not coming (used to main it in RU). Probably gunslinger or blade (if burst engraving is reworked as it is in KR)
Lance master looks so cool
that gonna be my main when it get release lol
one day, one day, but I am not putting my hopes up, we are already getting lots of martial artist classes
The rest system is so tricky zzz
I was hoping the game stockpiles energy but it doesnt.
It just gives bonus loot on your 2 daily entries for however many days you stockpiled. Looks like it consumes one bar per entry
isnt that the same as stockpiling, just at a 50% rate
I'm not sure because it feels like I got the same amount of materials as I did when I had 0 rest gauge
you are suppose to get double no?
No. U get less
Its possible that bonus mats were mailed to me or not double the emerald shards
for every 2 days of rest you get 1 days of bonus materials
^ yea
And that didnt happen for me when I did 2 runs today of a chaos dungeon from rohendel
I don't think it works for chaos dungeons
I usually get 14-16k emerald shards from the bern chaos dungeons. So getting only 17k from 2 runs in rohendel was really disappointing lol
It does. It consumes a rest bar
I think maybe the mats were mailed out actually.
I didn't get any mail with mats
Thats the one thing I didnt check
I haven't played for months and I was spamming chaos dungeon as I logged in, did it for 2h
didn't get any mail
I can confirm I have 2 depleted bars though
Oh I only did 2 runs because your energy is fixed at 100
So you're only good for 2 runs a day anyway lol
Unless the rest gauge gives you a reward for an extra entry on the same day
I didnt test that because the tooltip said it can only be used if I have more than 20 energy soo yeah.
Rest gauge dont give you entry they give you mats
Why would u get mail for mats?
U only get mailed if ur inventory is full
is it true that the dailies and weeklies are capped to 6 characters per account?
no, in KR only for gold aquisition
oh i see
Nope if it full but the accs is on the ground you will not get mailed. Only mailed if you get the end screen rewards
Yes in terms of gold earned
you can only get 18 una coins per day for dailies
but ultimately the whole thing is capped anyway
But yeah i didnt get extra mats
Thats what bugs me
Are you sure you getting rest gauge
Yes.
I have 3 bars left
It consumed 2 bars on 2 entries
I can post a screenshot tomorrow because I'm about to sleep lol. Put my pc to sleep
It doesn't add up in my head lol
I was expecting like 30k shards at least
Iunno how ima prog t1 in 3 days on NA release tbh, unless the islands give a shit ton of extra mats
I feel like it'll be at least 5 days maybe 7
Just go at your own pace
Expecting too much tbh and yes islands always the majority of the progress in ru t1 t2 not the dailies
game is a marathon don't plan your first week jsut enjoy
Oh, I want to go as fast as possible LOL
Time for the card swipe then
Idm if i get gated in t2 but t1 I wanna try and go quick
haha once you reach the gear cap for the content you are able to complete it regardless of further progression
Do we know the success rates for upgrading yet?
That would explain it
I neglected island farm while here cause Ive just been trying out the diff classes I wanted to play
so don't fuss on min maxing when you will be at a stage wehre you just daily and weekly
Settled on my 3 most preferred ones soo time well spent
what class you going @olive cairn ?
I don't see content running out besides dailies and weeklies for half a year at least, by then we hopefully get the update with horizontal progression.
I'd say this is solid advice for most players, but I actually PREFER that I rush asap as I'll have less time to play after the 11th
So I'm getting as much done as humanly possible before it turns into my 2 hours of dailies and then log off :p
thats fair, I like to think I am a hardcore mmo player but I can only do like 5-6 hours a day cause work but I am usually at the end game content of other games with the others
Uh maining GS with a sorc alt
nice was think BattleMast main with Gunlance and Gunsling alt and a bard or pally for shits n gigs
Until we get some catchup mechanics and then ill likely be playing shadow hunter instead of the sorc as like a 2nd raiding character in tier 3
Because I want the demon form uptime
Lets keep this channel on topic as much as possible 
yeah the demon uptime is insane I watch a vid on it
like 5 sec to get back into it and it just shreds
hahah yes master I shall stop
Yeah it looks like a ton of fun to play but isnt viable till t3 because we need the stats so I'm holding out. Anyway so for the headstart I'm just trying to hopefully get as close to ilvl600 as I can
But our upgrade rates are probably gonna be a bit lower soo I'll need some rng. But knowing how the rest system works is important to me because going forward I might miss a day here and there because of work
I'll test it again tmrw and report my findings with a screenshot. Maybe that will help
There's nothing you can do if you miss a day or two. The system is in place to reward you some extras if you miss login for a day or two. It's not supposed to be 'risk free', devs still want players to play daily, but value your time if you do not.
i like a lot of the scouter play , so while they don't appear in na server is good creating a support class(paladin) to be ready when scouter arrive to be my main?
paladin is fine, as is anyone else cuz alts are useful
doesnt matter what you create, really
which classes are more suitable for solo pve content?
Every class
how much solo content is out there? and is soloing group encounters ever worth doing?
double checking, I can buy Gold and Platinum founder on one account (steam) right?
Yes
Yes
the group content is like ... 10 or 5% of the entire game
is coop big in this game? Ex. can I play co-op with a friend for almost everything?
Depends, group needs to be 4 or 8 people for end game group activities. You can run around world just the 2 of you doing world stuff.
yeah, there are a couple of solo only dungeons i think but most stuff is groupable
The solo only endgame stuff I can think of are the towers
Maybe there are more, but there is way more group content than solo content
Are chaos dungeons better to run solo or group?
for majority of it
pretty common to just solo low tier ones anyway lol
Can you recustomize your character after making it?
And are there options in the cash shop for like additional hairstyles and such?
Only with ticket
Ahh okay ty
no
i want to buy the founder pack but the game is not available in my region, im from singapore what shd i do?
need to make new account set in supported region, just note you might still need vpn to play and is not ban proof.
there no way to play without vpn?
You can move to a supported region
or i need to vpn to make the account in the supported region, once i downloaded then i can off the vpn?
most likely not....it was different in the beta, but that's cause it's beta lol.
no you most likely still need the vpn running while playing the game
any vpn to recommend im not sure its my first time downloading one.
not really, and we dunno if a vpn will 100% work either
Asking that only gives chance to promote vpn.
yeah dunno what ones will work, wait for launch for ppl to test them.
its probably a more use at your own risk thing
its bannable?
Yes
oh fuck rip my country really wanted to play lost ark
most likely, if amazon doesnt have permission to publish in your region its probably due to your country's specific laws
will they enforce it? probably not
That's why we advice you make a new steam account, so even if you get banned, you don't lose your steam account.
could just create a new steam account if you're afraid of your main getting banned
You can also play on RU servers, they don't care for vpn's
which has the best ms for singapore?
Eh, you will have to ping and see
Anyone know where Aussies will be congregating?
na west
Nice, any specific server or just all of them
lost ark never said anything about bringing the game to Asia singapore etc?
Maybe if 'global' release does well?
game already in Asia...in KR/JP and soon TW, they are still looking for good-ish SEA publishers(which I know there's none
)
will we have the alt jump to 50 on release?
no power pass, besides gold jumping.
Can I make an alt just for the sake of saving the name for that character and leave it until I’m ready? That character won’t be missing out on anything once it’s created?
so if i wanna play the western release exitlag is a good option for vpn?
with knowledge transfer, yes
as stated, we dunno what ones will work well for launch...exit's too popular, most likely will be blocked fast 
shouldn't
alright
this is probably a really basic question, but is it possible to use the appearance of older gear? if so, how?
that's like get a max lv one and you can get an alt to max thing?
i've been playing around a little in the RU client, but still havent managed to find it, if its in the settings
Yea. You level a character manually to 50 than u can use gold to level other characters to 50
oh okay, thanks
Is there any other way to gain royal crystals aside from real $?
Are island mats char bound or account bound?
You can use them on any character. But after u open the boxes of mats, it becomes bound to the character u opened it on
I don't think mats are bound differently from different sources.
@random gardenprobably valtan, but that's only from the reddit poll
some are craftable avatars or via drops in chaos dungeon, other then that there's no real transmog.
it depends, most are char bound.
are those drops / crafts class specific? or advanced class specific?
subclasses only, and most are char bound.
ah so i wouldnt be able to do something like play shadowhunter until reaper comes out and just transfer the stuff over
unless you buy base archetype avatars/skins....in cash shop or AH, as crafting/drops are all bound to char and subclasses.
did they ever say something about why our aura doesnt unlock pet passives? like as far as i know it used to unlock all pet passives
makes the whole thing pretty much useless if you dont care for the convenience stuff o.O
aren't pet passives unlocked by default now?
are they? i know of 120 crystals cost every 30 days
uhh you're confusing old and new changes, and even the old way they didn't unlock pet passives...
it's now suppose to be tied to aura for AGS server.
Hi guys, is there a tank class if so which one? If not what is the highest melee DPS? Thank you
wdym? ags server?
We have updated how pet features function. Originally, players would rent features on their pets each month and the pets would gain additional functionality. An epic-grade pet will be available for free as a quest reward in the early stages of the game. In our version, pet purchases are permanent and the features that were previously rented are now available through Crystalline Aura benefits. Auto-looting remains a default feature of pets, regardless of whether or not you have Crystalline Aura active.
i heared on the other servers you unlocked pet passives with the aura
but in our aura its not a thing
ah
AGS = Amazon Game Studio
and that's not true, either the person lied or you misheard.
"are now available through Crystalline Aura benefits."
but thats not true
it's the AGS server that's now tied to aura
or not stated
it wasn't in the CBT client
it should be in the launch version
they just launched a video with pack benefits, its not there
thats why im wondering
there's no traditional holy trinity, but the most "tankist" would be Gunlancer
thank you
they just simply forgot to update it I guess, as stated in the more recent blogpost, that system should be in.
hmm
yea,they also had the date wrong on the legends of lost ark site wrong for the start date so not surprised
if you want, can go ask Roxx over at the AGS discord or forums, though I think someone has already asked it before etc.(I recall screenshot of her answers before) 
invite me
I'm not there sorry...let me find link XD
discord has gg as top level domain
it's for this discord (/lostark)
you can also use discord.gg/amazon-games
any tips on how to readch level 30 quickly on RU server for testing classes? is it just following and doing quests?
can someone please share bard first and second legendary avatar please

Any updates on which countries are choosing what server for eu? Last time majority of english speakers were going to zinnervale, is that still the same?
ty
Split between Kadan and Zinnervale
Okay ty
latest updated one
but honestly, this is just based on known community guild and which server they pick
THE majority of player probably gonna follow streamers and what not
Majority people will pick low pop when they see server list.
True, i just want to be in a server where i understand what ppl are saying
eh if this was true server population would not be so skewed on most mmo release. I do believe there's a decent chunk of players who avoid high pop servers though
Well, if you pick server X and get greeted 'you are X in queue estimated time 5 hours' not sure which sane person would wait.
but saying the majority picking low pop doesnt make sense cause than servers pop would be more balanced
Well me and my friends, and other people who do wait in that queue
cause if people didnt there wouldt be any queue in the first place
that only happens like months down the line tho
sure, but it also true on day 1 and weekend 1 most of the time. since people do sit in queue and there are always servers who does not
Is demonic gonna be good at launch? Idk if I’ll be able to transform often since we’re only getting beginning of t3
Every. Subclass. Is. Competetive.
should be on the kr youtube channel
i know this website but i dont know how the legendary looks like
are those ALL the skins since release of the game?
There is NONE for assassin.....savages
You mean legendary avatar? There is
Saw only in 2nd link. 1st showed warrior,mage, and w.e T.T
Just scroll down
Was there more...ok blind.. my bad
Legendary avatar season 2 is to DIE FOR
what outfit is that and the chewing gum is that a class thing or an outfit thing?
bubble gum is a mouth piece avatar
What class is that
also please stay on topic 
in ru or kr servers are there a lot of occasions where you go into ques if youre in a popular server?
probably a summoner or sorc
Are we getting any Legion raids
lol why is that removed ?
stay on topic this is not dicussion
for KR only on oldest servers and only at big updates.
but why did you remove my answer :p
queues are not bad in this game
so anyway, anyone got the idea on what outfit this is and if its class or subclass specific?
later.
so would less populated ones like una or avesta be better on launch than regulus and azena..cuz i really dont want to end up in a que at all cost
read my answer, those are not bound to subclasses, and usually given out free at events.
for the avatar though, it's a paid one I think.
Can someone enlighten me with the two builds for wardancer
get the wardancer role, the class channel will take care of you > #navigation
What lvl does your stronghold need to be to unlock knowledge transfer?
you said "bubblegum is a mouth piece avatar" (which i appreciate) nothing about the outfit itself
Yes, especially considering all instanced content is cross server. So your server population matters little.
yeah sorry for giving only half answers atm 
you just do the intro quest and the quest from the butler
I have a question. So I work and study in parallel, so I am sometimes very limited in the time I have. My question is, how long (time-wise) the end game content takes (weekly for example) to clear and are alts a more mandatory or would be good to have thing? I tried reading on reddit but it's a mixed bag of responses.
Thanks!
Ok thanks
That's the sorc legendary avatar dyed
wait parties for raids and such are also cross server right
its ok 
thanks frijj
you can easily finish each char in around 2-3 hours per day, this game very much respect your time, so no worries 
Hi guys, a question. Is there some kind of prologue/tutorial that we need to play solo as we start the game or can I jump into the party with friends as soon as I make my character?
yes, before(well after now) class select.
So daily content takes 2-3 hours per character to clear? Or you mean weekly
Do you know how much time it takes?
there's different types of dailies and weeklies content, generally everything can be cleared in a few days, then you wait for next reset/maint.
you can get your daily chores done in between 1-2 hours depending how good your are setup etc. Weekly stuff really depends if you a progressing hard content or not. Just doing the basics will probably add another hour or two on the weekend. Progressing hard content can consume quite some extra time.
Alts will help you to progress faster and just have more of everything. More mats and gold for your main to reach higher ilvl faster and even go beyond the ilvl you need to progress, more left overs to get your alts higher if you also want to play them in high end content etc.
one last question with servers when you make an alt can you join a different server from your main or is it locked on all your characters?
With regards the twitch drops, so long as we have our twitch paired with our Steam, is that all we gotta do? 😮
you can skip it if you want(miss out on a free avatar/skin), otherwise can take about 10-15min.
Around 10 mins till you reach the first city
In a few days ... but how many hours a day on average you'd say.
Nah won't miss it since I am 1st timer. Thanks for the answer!
you have 6 free slots on every server
if you play the prologue, the time increases around 20-30 mins more
so like azena 6, regulus 6, etc?
Yep
bruh didnt know that lol
all locked to 1 server, progressions does not carry over to other servers.
and yes 6 free slots per server, assuming the servers are not full.
So you'd suggest to create ONE ALT for sure.
I think 50 classes is the global limit.
damn
no limit on that.
and you can expand the character slots per server too right
Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLgmcoNfcfA
Why are multiple characters so powerful and how many do I need? When do I work on them? Just needed to get this out there since it was asked so frequently.
00:00 intro
00:44 one character enough?
01:28 how to know if something is tradeable?
02:14 guardian raids & chaos dungeons
03:45 legion commander raids gold income vs others
05:27 2 ticket...
you should have as many alts as you are enjoying. You also dont have to play all your characters every day - there is a rested mechanic that gives you extra loot if you miss a day. It's not 100% extra but at least its something
So stacking the packs.
basically grants you more crystals, etc etc
but you don't get a choice of selecting multiple colors of the founders pet?
is this correct?
Incorrect. You select colors.
3-4 hours for newbies I would say, per char, if having alts, can add up to 6 or so hours.
sorry i have one more question lol, so if theres an event for example, do you get the event rewards per server or per account?
So gold pick black, plat pick white, silver pick tabby.
i must have missed something. is there a free skin from the island first island where you fight a bunch of trolls?
just found forum posts saying you wouldn't get multiple versions of cosmetics
only the other stuff
link
completing the prologue gives you a one time avatar reward.
there is a official news post about it
just have to read the stuff that amazon posts and you know its wrong, dont be a pepega. misinformation is against server rules
That is a old post
There was another post after that one from AlbertZ
Yea I wouldn't trust posts wihout dates.
3-4 hours a day per character does seem to be a lot ngl.
So if I buy the silver and gold packs, I can indeed get all 3 founders pet colors ? / and 2 gold custumes?
You cant stack the same pack
if you buy all 4.... you get 4 pets
4 ? wat?
You can do 2 chaos runs and two guardian runs per char. Chaos is like 5-10mins each, guardians can take longer with bad group (I soloed it in 15mins)
is the sorc plat avatar dyeable?
buying all the packs is just a waste tho
well I'm counting it has if you're new and dunno wtf to do properly yet to optimize time :P, like for me I can get 1 char done in under an hour...also it depends if you want to do other account progression stuff or not.
like mentioned there's resting bonus, no need to play everyday if you can't.
Yeah should be
wait so can you share items from one server to the other or are they also server locked? using the shared back system
he is just adding extra time because if need to ask these questions it will take a while for you to be efficient about the whole process
Then I guess it also depends on the class I decide to pick. I assume picking Support would help me get groups later on ingame, but slower down daily progression
alts shouldn't take more than 1 hour. Only the process of the leveling them, In that case it takes 10+ hours
no free sharing, per say. Will cost
Pheons to sent.
!region

Guilds, Friends (list), Islands, Open world, Strongholds (cross in KR), GvG, Life skills (professions), Unranked Arena Premades (queue as party, this is cross server in KR)
Nothing is Cross Region
of its missing bank
@slate zephyr can you explain the rested thing for dailies?
jesus christ, wall of text 
@maiden locust yeah sorry gonna delete that, not exactly adding anything to the convo and things could be shorten imo, also this isn't a opinion chatting channel.
if you dont complete daily you get 10 rested energy, if you have 20 you get double loot the next time you complete the daily
I assume past that it does not stack? 😄
it goes up to 100
o
100 is max
That's good news
Wall of text going off the RU prices
pets won't be 5$ more like 1400rc
yeah the game doesnt want to be that constantly grindy

also feathers etc kinda bullshit to use them for the price. I still prefer: https://i.imgur.com/OpWjpx1.png
nah supports are fine, no worries 
ahh so in the same server you can transfer items for free, but if youre cross sharing you have to pay? gotcha
So to be 'desired' and also do things alone I guess Support life it is for me haha
Hey guys I just joined the channel and have a question, I'll be playing gunslinger and was wondering if you could cancel the casts of your spells, is there a hotkey or you just have to move once you started casting?
to be desired you need go ilvl
no if you transfer something from player to player you need to pay peons (pheon lupeons?) what is the name
in same server only free to yourself in account warehouse, to other ppl still cost currencies(depending on what you sent).
Even that has some stuff scuffed for price estimates but a better comparison
your class wont determine that much unless you are support, but you still NEED good ilvl for the respective content
what if its your characters but they are in different servers
Haha well by going support I will at least eliminate ONE of the factors
still cost
Pheons, for gears, silvers for other stuff.
well ig but just be aware that your ilvl is like 90% of the reason why you can be desired or not
thanks guys for clearing things up
what no, it's other things that matters more when raid leaders look for group members 
Does anyone playing on KR remember how big the DX11 patch was?
true, I shouldve just said build to be more general and synergies
it came with other stuff....but it was around 2gb, the patch itself probably is only 500mb.
if youre trying to min-max to 50 is it recommended to do it solo? Is there an xp split if you ran with a friend?
That small really, nice. Thanks 🤓
you are getting all the xp from quests so you dont have to worry about xp split
killing mobs gives so little xp
I think it is better solo, because you can either slow down or be slowed down by your friend. But that is min maxing, it is better to just have fun and coop
the reason you go solo is that so much stuff is actually not in a party and you will wait for each other
gotcha. Thanks guys
Should I set up my estate as soon as I gain access to it?
There isn't any set up really. You go there and just do intro quests. You only gain stuff for your estate by completing them. Doesn't matter that much.
Do you use lower level mats even at high lvl? Crafting mats and estate mats etc
Your asking about crafting mats or gear mats?
Crafting mats
Any point in mining like low lvl dhit with my life skill energy's etc
Or do you always use the highest mats for your lvl
yes
Actually u will be using the most basic, commmon materials
Thinking bout like if it similar to wow or new world
Is there a way to see time played on a character?
Basically yea, u will always be using the 'low tier' materials that u farm from the start
is stronghold gathering possible from the get go or do i need to research something?
Am I going to get errors if I transfer my RU Client Character presets to the new Steam client at launch? Any info on that? Or some differences regarding sliders, options, etc.?
Do we have a merchant bot for EU? 🤔
ye i'll pm you the link
Can someone send me the googledoc with server distribution?
U need estate lvl 10 or 15 dun remember
Zinnervale gonna be bigger than kadan now?
what makes u think that?
ok, this might be little silly, but is there some kind questioner or flow chart or something that would help me pick class? I tried bard and demon in beta and I kinda liked the demon more but what if there is even better class our there for me? how do I pick?
zinnervale is already bigger in the guild doc sheet
Ye thats why im asking
15 ye
pls count the randoms people that come after too....
But it doesnt consider solo players
they should be balanced
long term they will balance out, im going Kadan no matter what happens
does anybody know how strict smilegate is on the bot topic? Would it be against TOS if you do some image matching bot for traveling mercs? Wouldn't really do anyhting ingame, other than standing around
