slash inv, friends/guild list, party finder or lfg tool

it's an mmo you have all the tools you know from any other good mmo

cross server matchmaking, etc

[rugged glacier]

cool thanks

[sinful cloak]

Guys are some skins craftable in late game ?

[abstract basin]

can you do a 2 player story run in this game and the incoming EU version? also after story can we do 2 player dungeons/bosses etc?

[trim void]

Yes there is some skins craftable in the late game

[sinful cloak]

Nice

[cedar wharf]

you can play together but you cant do the story parts in a group

you can do the dungeons together or solo

[shut pasture]

You will need a full 4 person group for Abyssal Dungeons, though.

[abstract basin]

shame, I had a lot of vodka to bring to the party 😦

[trim void]

They are mostly just recolours of the gear sets, most people don't really bother with them though

[abstract basin]

can you explain AD to me please?

[cedar wharf]

abyss dungeon is a weekly content you do for gold and item rewards. you get one entry a week and can use matchmaking for it.

[trim void]

**Abyssal Dungeons: **An instanced dungeon that consists of some basic trash mob clearing, but primarily are focused around two bosses. These can be a bit more mechanics reliant than Guardians and you are required to be in a group of 4 for these. These reward engraving books, gold, accessories, ability stones, cards and a crafting material you will use to craft your Purple set of gear.

[shut pasture]

#lost-ark-help message

Dungeons and Raids in Lost Ark;

Chaos Dungeons: Very straightforward kill hordes of mobs through a few different rooms. This mainly rewards materials you use for upgrading your gear, as well as your starting gear set for each Tier of content (T1, T2, T3), along with accessories and this will be where you get Cube Tickets from.

Guardian Raids: Monster Hunter style boss fight, track down the boss and kill it within a time limit. Limited team revives available. This rewards materials you use for upgrading your gear as well as accessories and ability stones.

Abyssal Dungeons: An instanced dungeon that consists of some basic trash mob clearing, but primarily are focused around two bosses. These can be a bit more mechanics reliant than Guardians and you are required to be in a group of 4 for these. These reward engraving books, gold, accessories, ability stones, cards and a crafting material you will use to craft your Purple set of gear.

Abyss and Legion Raids: These are the higher end things that can only be done in T3. This is the difficult PvE content you'll see people talking about the most. This is the content people will be doing to progress much higher than the standard +15 enhancement level you see at the lower Tiers. These reward Relic gear, materials, gold, ability stones and a variety of other things. We will see these release progressively over time after launch, and eventually their Hell Mode difficulties.

[abstract basin]

so we can not do any story together just lvl 50 dungeons?

[cedar wharf]

while you level up and even at max level when you quest. there are story pieces you play like big story points. you cant do them together

you can do all the regular leveling and dungeons and most of the endgame content together

[ashen peak]

Watched a couple videos and I think it's between gunslinger Assassin or monk for me to start. What's the difference between shadow assassin and standard? Also do any of these classes have funky animation cancel or item specific mechanics?

I play LoL a lot and main Lee Sin and Qiyana so I'm looking for a similar mechanically intense super reflexive experience

[cedar wharf]

shadow assassin and standard?

[sinful cloak]

Thanks

[ashen peak]

Yes

[shut pasture]

You don't play as Assassin, you play as one of its Advanced Classes (Shadowhunter or Deathblade) same with Martial Artist (Wardancer, Striker, Soulfist, Infighter).

[violet blade]

is kadan just a pvp server ?

[ashen peak]

Oh I see

So what do you suggest as a few picks for super high reflex fast paced gameplay?

I play almost exclusively hyper carry skill checks in LoL so I want a similar experience

[shut pasture]

Well pretty much all of the classes sort of fall into that category. Keep in mind, this game is not a MOBA, even its primary PvP mode is not at all like a MOBA. Its a 3v3 TDM mode.

[ashen peak]

I wanna be playing dance dance Revolution on the highest difficulty on 16 shots of espresso and every mistake I get jabbed with a cattle prod

[long prawn]

play burst blade

[shut pasture]

I would say any of the Assassin or Martial Artist classes can fulfill what you're looking for both in PvE and PvP. Also want to make it clear that this game is primarily a PvE game, its an MMORPG. PvP is more of a side thing but there is still a competitive scene in it and they are adding a bit more PvP stuff to it.

[trim void]

there is no specific pve or pvp servers, kadan is just where the EU pvp community as a whole decided to go as there is many things pvp wise that server based like GvG

[robust pulsar]

So I've been looking at stuff related to gearing and alts and I'm curious if it's actually feasible for a regular player to have two classes geared for endgame? like if I wanted to play bard and sorc. Instead of just using one as a daily mule

[ashen peak]

Hype

I'm here for the raids

[cedar wharf]

you would need more alts to support multiple mains especially as free to play

[white flume]

can I use parts of the platinum skin? or is it only one whole piece?

[long prawn]

pretty sure the helmet and weapon are separate and the top and bottom are together

3 pieces iirc

[robust pulsar]

How many alts would you need to support 2 mains?

[ashen peak]

How many cosmetics are RL$ vs in game rewards?

[long prawn]

you can buy all the cash shop avatars in the auction house, in game rewards there are events and pvp arena avatars like Victorious skins in league

[ashen peak]

Very pog

There has to be a catch though? Like I'm skeptical that there's a catch?

[cedar wharf]

many people have a main, then 1-2 favorite alts and then multiple alts they just use for the mats and gold generation. impossible to put a number onto it. As many as you can play, enjoy, have time for etc. you dont have to play them every day, you can stack rested on some of them play others more.

I would recommend focusing on one main, then working on your first alt and slowly adding more. You will reach a natural point where it gets to stressful etc and then you know how far you can bring your "main alt".

[ashen peak]

Data mining? Server issues?

[long prawn]

wdym

[ashen peak]

Game sounds too good to be real

[robust pulsar]

I see. I mostly wonder cause I tend to enjoy healing and support roles in games but I also think dpsing seems fun in this game so I want a chance to play both in endgame. Even if one isn't maybe perfectly geared

[long prawn]

the catch is that there are still 3 days until launch, and time is moving 100x slower

[ashen peak]

Like on paper it has everything I want from an MMO

[cedar wharf]

i mean when your main is doing 1520 raids, your alt will be doing 1415 raids. its not that you only use them for trash dailies etc

[robust pulsar]

1000000x slower

[graceful haven]

So after finishing lv 50 and completing daily, do i make an alt or do islands for mats?

[robust pulsar]

Ohhh I see. So they still can do some fun content

[ashen peak]

Realistically this is just my filler for waiting for Star Citizen patches lol

[river crown]

does anyone know if you can transfer guild leadership?

[cedar wharf]

you have to do all content, if you want to progress with all your toons eventually

[untold garden]

Is there any benefit of running multiple guilds in this game?

since guilds are capped at 30 on launch

[robust pulsar]

I see, I guess I'll just have to figure out if I wanna focus on my bard or sorc

[cedar wharf]

could yo go to #lost-ark-discussions if you just want to talk. This channel is strictly on topic and for questions or its gets super stressful to help the new ppl with questions

[ashen peak]

Oop

[graceful haven]

I heard guild leadership is automatically transferred after 10 days of inactivity, and id assume you can

[ashen peak]

Yes sorry

Wait actually question. Animation cancels a thing in lost ark?

[river crown]

ye i was aware of the automatic transfering

[long prawn]

it is a voting system after 10 days

not automatic

[cedar wharf]

yea it helps so ppl can still farm bloodstones. bloodstones move with the player

[river crown]

but i didn't really see anyone mention a manaul way to transfer leadership

[cedar wharf]

no

[ashen peak]

Aw sad days

[dull cloud]

I mean they are lol

[untold garden]

Are bloodstones account-wide?

[graceful haven]

Some wardancers use move auto for aa cancels

[cedar wharf]

no

[untold garden]

Like get different alts in diff guilds and farm the shet out of them or

[dull cloud]

There are some animation cancels, sorceress has a couple for example.

[north gulch]

Honestly you can get away quite cheaply by running a "second main" as a support character. While you can invest heavily into them most people/groups will just be glad you're a support than isnt completely garbage in stats/engraves

[ashen peak]

Yeah but who plays as a wizard? Wizards are the ranch dressing of game classes lmao

[cedar wharf]

yea there are some but its very limited, there is also snapshotting on some skills

but its not every attack can be shortened with an auto attack etc

[dull cloud]

indeed

[ashen peak]

How bout the player island? How does that work?

[cedar wharf]

you can daily guild stuff on every alt and every alt can use their bloodstones at the guild vendor

but the mats are char bound

[ashen peak]

I literally only came across this game this weekend because of an ad so I know like nothing

[grave hull]

will there be any downsides to playing a class that seems to be super popular and theres probably going to be a lot running around of? like gunslinger. Will it be harder to group for end game content?

[untold garden]

A ok, so basically it's not super important to run multiple guilds? except maybe when it comes to gvg and have multiple guilds backing you up or smt?

[north gulch]

Honestly there's so many general guide videos out there i suggest you check them out first. Sywoo, Zeals and other content creators have made decent video guides both for general questions and more in-depth

[cedar wharf]

we cant explain the whole game, start here and read this:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oci4R6IkwiQoVhGH8IHwFIS33dVS7hQv2Z-sljRrmcE/edit

[robust pulsar]

Interesting. So a bard with weaker gear can still preform in endgame?

[dull cloud]

More guilds can help feed into your main guild. E.g. if you have alt guilds, with all your alts doing guild missions etc. You can transfer the guild funds to your main guild to continue growth that way.

[fickle pond]

so are they slowly going to add male classes for all the classes or nah? I'd love to play a male scrapper @dull cloud

[untold garden]

Hmmm alright

[robust pulsar]

Yes. They said they would do them all... eventually

[untold garden]

We're currently like 45/30 so I guess it wouldnt hurt to try.

[cedar wharf]

i mean your members still want to have a place why they cant be in the main guild. that was the initial questions. you just wanted to know after that if you can pump mats with alts

[north gulch]

Well yes and no. T1 & T2 is more forgiving. But the thing is you wont "need" to min/max as hard as dps classes. Their shit just ends up being more costly. You still can however and you'll be god for doing so.

[dull cloud]

They are slowly adding other gender counterparts yes, but it may be years before you get the class you want.

[fickle pond]

how can i get that male scrapper

wait is striker DPS?

[untold garden]

https://tenor.com/view/oops-busted-eric-cartman-south-park-s14e9-its-a-jersey-thing-gif-22863314

[robust pulsar]

Right I'm just kinda worried about T3, since it seems the devs want us to skip t1&t2

[cedar wharf]

every class is dps expect bard and paladin

[fickle pond]

dps paladin

YTu

[cedar wharf]

what i said is kinda the answer, you still need a good character if you want to do hard content. its not like there is no competition and ppl will just take a shit tier bard because its a bard.

[fickle pond]

is marksmen male @cedar wharf

actually is there a way to see current male classes

[cedar wharf]

marksmen isnt even a class

[fickle pond]

and female locked one

[long prawn]

https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/classes

[robust pulsar]

Yeah makes sense. It seems like it's genuinely mountainous to gear even a single character

[fickle pond]

imma play all the classes but one of my friends just wants to play a male char for immersio nor some shit

[north gulch]

I wouldnt say skip but you should be glad if we get to push past T1 and T2 quickly instead of being hardstuck by design. The content is rather stale compared to T3. It would cause a lot of people to quit i think just because

[trim void]

wait till he sees some of the avatars and his immersion will go out the window

[cedar wharf]

there are so many money sinks you just have to balance them. do you need all lvl 10 gems? no. will you have all level 10 gems as a f2p? no. having some on a dps is good and you can get away with less on a support maybe but then you aren't really playing endgame on that alt anyway.

so just balance the invest based on the amount of alts you can play and enjoy playing. and learn what it even means to progress in the game before you plan something that you have very little practical experience with. the most important rule is to focus on your main. so you should do that, decide what to main and then when you are at a point when you have extra time start working on your second toon. step by step. you haven't even played the game and are already worrying about endgame with multiple toons. I hope you realize how unhealthy that is 🙂

[fickle pond]

idk what should I do for first class but i just dont want to go berserker like everyone else @cedar wharf

hwo about lance master

[robust pulsar]

Oh no I agree, it's just my worries and trying to understand what's possible

in reality i probably will just have one poorly geared main character cause im a slow player

[cedar wharf]

please if you just want to chat go to #lost-ark-discussions it gets really busy in here and we want to help ppl with their questions. also this channel is strictly on topic. thanks

[north gulch]

Im not saying you'll get T3 in a week either mind you. But being stuck in T1/T2 for 6 months wouldnt be fun

[cedar wharf]

just focus and enjoy the time for now, play a bard you will have a good time

when you have some spare time start leveling an alt, if its a dps it will feels super fun and different

[robust pulsar]

Yeah I was planning on just doing bard until they swapped Sorceress in... then I bought the platinum supporter pack for the sorc costume cause I love the outfit to pieces and felt like it was basically designed for me lol

[north gulch]

You can keep the costume chest without opening it on character. For when you make you sorceress later on and open it on her 😉

[cedar wharf]

you can still use the plat support on sorc, bard is getting a better outfit soon after launch anyway

[robust pulsar]

Yeah i didn't love the bard outfit, or most of them tbh. Just when I saw the sorc outfit i was like "omg I wanna wear that IRL" so I impulse bought it

[arctic walrus]

Is bard a good main class? Or should I leave it as an alt cause I like support but striker and infighter intrigue me a lot

[broken trellis]

Any class is a good main,

[north gulch]

Tbh i think soulfist is just

[queen magnet]

If a premade has 2 supports and 2 dps, can we list a party finder with one of our supports in the 2nd party ?

[broken trellis]

Can't wait for that skin on na

[north gulch]

You can "boost" people. So technically you can help your friend out.

[vivid temple]

for the voyages in estate how do i get more sailors?

[autumn sleet]

Anyone able to assist me? Trying to gift lost ark to my gf in EU but it won't allow me on steam.

[broken trellis]

Try them all with the practice at start which will give u a small idea of how they play,

[trim void]

https://papunika.com/crew/

[arctic walrus]

I see thank u

[broken trellis]

You can't because of regional pricing, would need a EU account aswell iirc

[vivid temple]

so sailors for your boat are also available for your voyage?

[arctic walrus]

and does each alt get unique usernames or is it shared

[trim void]

Each character has a unique name

[broken trellis]

Like a family name in BDO? No all unique

[north gulch]

You give name when you make your new character. Names are unique, region wide. And locked even if you delete them for awhile

[arctic walrus]

cool thank u

[supple maple]

Hi, does this mean that I can create my char, use my name, delete that char and then re-use in a new char, being safe that nobody else takes it?

[autumn sleet]

so even if I went on her account directly, it wouldn't work

[broken trellis]

I would think you could do it then? But I don't know for sure.

[earnest atlas]

No, the name won't be available even after you delete your character. It's weird

[broken trellis]

No after you delet a char the named is locked till they release them.

[shut pasture]

No, currently there is something to do with their backend infrastructure to where names are not automatically "released" once a character is deleted.

[autumn sleet]

I will see, thanks

[north gulch]

No (explaination: name gets locked after u made it. even if you delete the character it will be locked for forseeable future)

[final bramble]

Where are the good locations to set your bifrosts at fresh 50?

[broken trellis]

Where ever your una's dailys are

[final bramble]

Aren't they different each time?

[supple maple]

Thank you'all, I'll be careful choosing then

[cedar wharf]

no you usually do the same dailies for a long period to max out the reputation

[final bramble]

Ah fair enough

[cedar wharf]

the list stays the same until you move into a different ilvl bracket

[final bramble]

Which una's are recommended?

[shut pasture]

Typically the ones that give Leap Stones

[final bramble]

The ones that look like this ?

[cedar wharf]

if you have alts you can use them for dailies that give you skill points or collectibles you need. you can look at Papunika to see what rewards you get from the reputations: https://papunika.com/unas-tasks-overview/

[gilded tapir]

is support in a group necessary for clearing most of pve content?

[cedar wharf]

low end no high end yes

you dont go in a 8 player raid w/o 2 support, one in each group

[shut pasture]

Yes

[final bramble]

Cool. Another question - I keep seeing people say you should just keep using that blue gear you get from shushire without upgrading it to purple all the way until +15. Is that right?

Can't you basically up its rarity for free?

[shut pasture]

You can recycle it into the purple gear but its not particularly necessary and its going to be replaced really soon anyway so not much reason to spend the silver.

[final bramble]

Does recycling cost a lot of silver or something?

[shut pasture]

Not particularly, its just not a big deal necessarily because you won't be in something like T1 for a long time, T2 maybe has more merit to do, though.

Truthfully we don't know exactly what our progression is going to look like until we see patch notes or just until we get into the game itself so just keep both avenues in mind depending on what it ends up being.

[final bramble]

Fair enough. I wasn't planning on going super efficiently or anything but I just kinda want to have a general roadmap of progression in mind.

Playing round on the RU server is a bit confusing since some of the translations are really bad, it's hard to follow.

Is it a fair bet that once you get through north vern and get awakening, going around the islands getting your class engraving is a priority?

[robust marlin]

What time GMT are daily’s reset?

[final bramble]

1am (2am daylight savings)

[shut pasture]

Going around islands getting engravings and upgrade materials yes, as well as do infinite chaos for the engravings from the vendor.

[robust marlin]

So for the Tuesday release unless you are ungodly fast levelling there is no way you get daily’s done day 1.

[final bramble]

Day 1? Maybe. Depends on where you start.

US West has the most time.

[robust marlin]

For most of EU it’s out of reach tho

Just making sure I understand it properly

[pure night]

most? im pretty sure its impossible if u play on eu Servers

u only have 7h till 1am

[robust marlin]

Ok thanks. Won’t fuck my sleep schedule then day 1 😁

[final bramble]

Yeah I doubt most people will even be 50 by then.

[shut pasture]

Technically no. Not that it would make a huge difference, it would only affect T1 progression and thats not going to be a significantly prolonged process to begin with.

[undone moat]

what data center is kadan hosted on?

[trim void]

all EU servers are hosted in Frankfurt

[pure night]

ppl here talking about rushing 50 on days and im like "ill be happy if i reach 50 pn friday

[final bramble]

Wife's out of town that week, I'm good to go

[undone moat]

thank ya

[north gulch]

I seriously doubt anyone will manage it on EU. If they do they're exploiters

[pure night]

i took friday off even tho i shouldnt, but anymore really isnt possible till march

whats the fastest way to level?
4 wardancerd staggering their buff to run from a to b?

[final bramble]

Just do the main quest

[wintry ridge]

do u gain silver by playing pvp?

[prime kindle]

Can someone clarify adventure islands for me? So the islands are only open from 9:00-13:00 and 19:00-23:00 daily. And during that time we can complete up to 7 islands for the week?

[broken trellis]

MSQ, unless we get lvl events

[stable mantle]

How long does it approximate take to farm class engravings?

[grave hull]

Question regarding chest rewards/login rewards/raid rewards/etc..
Once Ive chosen my main class should I open/claim all rewards/chests on it?
Trying to determine if there are rewards that should be opened/claimed on specific classes if i want that item/reward to go to that class/alt.
Does items that get claimed on a character that has the "untradeable" tag automatically bound to that character so no point holding on to the chests hoping to open on an alt right? I shouldnt have claimed it in the first place if i was saving it for an alt?

If question doesnt make sense. to boil it down when does an item become bound to a character? once it gets to the inventory?

[trim void]

Generally you want to keep your stock pile of battle item chests and potion chests in your shared storage and then take what you need from them across all your characters as once you take the items from the chests they become bound to that character

So say you have 50 battle items chests, I might take 5 out of storage to put on make main take what I need from them and leave the other 45 in the storage to then take a couple of items out on my alts that I am also running dungeons and raids with

[robust pulsar]

@cedar wharf sorry to poke you but I do have one last question. I'm going to be playing with my BF and he's really worried about falling behind the playerbase in the grind, especially since he doesn't have time to do a ton of alts. Is that something he should be worried about?

[final bramble]

If he doesn't play an alt he won't be that far behind most people. Behind the sweatys, sure. But progression tapers off near the top so everyone will eventually catch up.

[trim void]

in terms of login rewards you want to take the main stuff onto your main character but there will be alot of stuff like chests and bags that your will be able to put into your storage and then decide who needs what, once it's open from the chest or bag it will become bound to that character

[grave hull]

ah thank you. i got it. i was confusing "untradeable" to mean bound to that one specific character rather than "account-bound" that i can share between alts

[fierce ruin]

Anyone have the link to the spreadsheat of the server numers for different countries and where they are going?

[grave hull]

i guess untradeable means cant sell to auction house

[trim void]

this one?

Yo how do you make Guilds? like requirements and such?

[fierce ruin]

Yes @trim void thanks alot dude ❤️

[patent plume]

Are there invisible weapon skins? I'd like to play Wardancer but don't like the giant gauntlet things.

[buoyant holly]

where can i do knowledge transfer in theg ame?

[honest perch]

stupid question have to make it clear, once my main is 50 and i proceed to make an alt i will have an option to make my alt insta 50 right?

[buoyant holly]

is it estate?

[trim void]

just a fee of 2000 shillings

[trim void]

the fighter's 3rd anniversary skin for WD is a small bracelet and makes it look like she is not holding a weapon

[grave hull]

yes. this is the knowledge transfer i believe costs 600gold.

[honest perch]

okay thank you so much

[buoyant holly]

where is the knoweldge transfer at? im playing RU and trying to find the npc

[patent plume]

Ok, thanks.

[trim void]

Yes it's in the estate and unlocks when you first character reaches lvl 50 completed vern and does a small quest in the estate, it is not currently available in RU

[pulsar ruin]

Hi ! May I ask, is it worth getting alts before T3 ? or just boost a couple with gold once you reach T3 ?

[buoyant holly]

ohh

okay thank you

[trim void]

Russia decided to not implement it as they stated that it would be too easily bot-able which is not true since JP has it and NA/EU and creating accounts in these regions is just as easy more likely the reason being the RU publisher being greedy and wanting people to buy boost

[half shell]

u add am as u see progress slow down and u having time to do that

[gentle birch]

are all raids 8 man?

[trim void]

It's completely up to yourself, personally I will create an alt after I got to 50 on my main do some daily stuff and then look at do it, you can totally not do this if you want and focus on getting to T3 content and then look at starting your alt

[prime kindle]

And to add onto this... how long do you generally spend a day on these islands? I can only play after 22:00 so I only have 1 hour of playtime to work with on the 2nd island window

[pulsar ruin]

yeah but realistically, rushing T3 seems like the better option since you can boost for 600 golds which isn't that much once in t3

[pulsar ruin]

i'm just wondering if getting an alt before T3 will actually make me get to T3 faster

[half shell]

well u kinda asume alt won't help u reach t3 faster on main

[trim void]

abyss raids are currently only 8 man, legions raids are valtan 8 man, biakiss 8 man, kouku saton 4 man, abrelshrud 8 man so far

[pulsar ruin]

that was exactly what my question was

[gentle birch]

tyvm!

[pulsar ruin]

just worded it poorlyr

[gentle birch]

also when i create a character at release, do i not get time to customize the character if i want to instantly lock in the name?

[earnest atlas]

I think you'll have enough time tbh. Unless it's a very popular name. But if you don't manage to get your name, you can change your appearance afterwards. It will cost irl money though

[trim void]

Name comes at the end so if you really want the name and it is a common name best to try lock it in, if you want to change the look of your character in the future you would have to purchase a appearance change token from the store or hope they give one out for free

[half shell]

generally u will do that after t3 unless u whale but 1 alt is fine I guess

[pulsar ruin]

Can you have 3 letters name on other clients ?

[trim void]

2-16 is the character name limits

[pulsar ruin]

let's goooo

[grave hull]

add-on question. what currency would the appearance change token be purchaseable with? if im buying plat founder pack would i have the currency to buy the token or is it purely $$ to buy it? I am also planning to set default character to try to lock in a popular name

[deft owl]

rc

youll have it from the pack

rc=royal crystals=$$$

[trim void]

it's only purchasable with royal crystals so you would have the currency from the plat pack to buy it, if the leaks are to be believed it will be about 800rc, it's about 10$ in KR so seems reasonable to be that price

[grave hull]

awesome thank you

[lucid grove]

If AH is region wide why are people worried about economy in low pop servers?

[vivid temple]

hmm how do i get sailors for voyages at my estate?

[pallid venture]

My friends and I are in the same boat. We are looking at Avesta as our destination. Feel like Una, Reg, and Azena are going to fill up by Friday and have potential high queue's. Avesta may very well end up with one, but I cant imagine it will be as bad as the 3 others

[trim void]

It could down to people that realising that the AH is server wide for the whole region, the only thing a low pop server would have issues with would be open world stuff that isn't cross server they have no reason to panic about the AH though

[pallid venture]

They shouldn't be. The only thing to worry about on a low pop server is doing world bosses at odd times of the day/night

[thin linden]

Hey guys

I have a question, mainly from people from Latam

Latam people who have to play in NA East, on which server will they play?

[normal pier]

I know there is one Latam guild on Azena.

https://discord.gg/JkRR9yka

[rancid pagoda]

is T3 gear dropped in chaos dungeon bind to character?
Can you transfer some gear you dropped to your alts?

[slim plover]

chaos dungeon gear from 1302-1370 is tradeable

however it only drops your subclass' gear

and giving it to an alt requires you to mail it to them and you need peons to accept it

and the character needs to be high enough ilvl

it's basically pointless

[gray sluice]

are engravings books/unlocks account wide?

[slim plover]

expedition wide yeah

doesnt go cross server, but every character within the server yes

[gray sluice]

sweet

[thin linden]

Thanks bro!

[mortal zephyr]

Can you have spaces in your guild name?

[stone drift]

Guys how are you going to level up your first character? Only msq until 50? How quick can you finish the side quests that rewards skill points?

[trim void]

afraid not

[vagrant finch]

Can we have an OCE Chat in the NA West category? I feel once it's released and people are trying to find parties or stable groups would be easier in 1 place without the need to ask

[maiden locust]

What server should i pick for NA West?

[trim sinew]

Really hope name restrictions are changed back sooner than later

[fickle pike]

can you have the same name on both na east and west?

[trim sinew]

Pretty sure its region locked

[maiden locust]

what are the restrictions?

[trim sinew]

Look at the image Frijj posted just above mine

same as guilds as char names

[void totem]

If I'm saving out .cus files ready for launch from the RUS client, what's the region code for EU? Is it just EU or something like EUR?

[maiden locust]

Looks fine to me what did you want changed?

[trim sinew]

I understand no spaces but only allowing a single capital letter is going against a decade of MMO naming norms

[maiden locust]

Ah i guess thats fair

[trim sinew]

Same for guilds

Warriors of Glory or Warriorsofglory

[earnest atlas]

Apparently its USA (yes even for EU server)

[trim void]

You can have the same name on both NA-East and NA-West as they are counted as 2 separate regions and names are locked to a region

[void totem]

I'll try that and hope it works on the day, thanks!

[potent shoal]

where can I trade in my island tokens..? They are taking up my inventory xD

[white flume]

do I have to auto attack?

or later on it is just casting skills?

[steady violet]

What kind of raids and high level content are account~~ bound~~ limited?

[exotic bison]

!region

[midnight flax]

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

[steady violet]

this is what unclear to me

[exotic bison]

Oo

[rancid pagoda]

The only limitation is about Gold, you can play any number of characters and get everything but the gold reward from the raid completions, only on 6 characters

[minor geyser]

How bad you guys think queues will be at launch? Hours?

[mortal zephyr]

So is the first letter always capitalized in guilds ?

or can somewhere in the middle be capitalized

[rose cave]

only the First

[mortal zephyr]

can you choose to just, not capitalize it or is it forced?

[rancid pagoda]

Can you buy rare tier 3 gear for a fresh level 50 characters from AH or trade from someone?

[rose cave]

forced

[graceful dome]

hello QQ! I know that there is cross server play for raids but I wanted to confirm something. There are currently no cross server friends list. Lets say I know someone's ign from another server that is within the same region. Am I able to invite them to a party/group and in Q for a raid?

[rose cave]

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)

[solid quiver]

Is there ways to change character appearance after creation

[graceful dome]

so as long as I know someone's ign from another server on hand, I am able to invite them to a raid manually like that before Qing for LFG?

[exotic bison]

My understanding is you put up a Lfg and they can search for it and join

[graceful dome]

ah ok makes sense

Thanks!

[shut pasture]

Yes, a cash shop item

[dusk hearth]

is having a guild like really good? im not missing stuff if i dont have one right? im very casual player and havent picked a server yet beacuse im scared of not getting a guild if im missing alot

[solid quiver]

do you know the cost?

[shut pasture]

They are not an absolute necessity but they do help.

[shut pasture]

Idk...$10? $15?

[languid wasp]

do the devs ever release new skills / abilities for already existing classes?

[trim void]

around 8-10$, was 900rc in beta

[oblique dove]

"leaked" pic showed 800crystals/$8

[dusk hearth]

ahh ok then! thanks!

[thick wedge]

what are the requirements to join ranked deathmatch?

[shut pasture]

Not particularly, no. New tiers of content typically come with new gear sets with set effects.

[weak socket]

From what I remember you need to get into rank 1 for normal pvp ranked, would assume that would also be other ranked modes

[limpid oyster]

what does it mean when my abilities have 'super armour: stagger immunity'?

[exotic frost]

how much does it cost to change appearance in kr?

[elder anchor]

are character names locked per server or for the whole game? LIke if someone has a unique name in one server, is it still open in another?

[vapid sand]

What gear score should we expect to be to equip 3 engravings?

[oblique dove]

@elder anchor locked per region. you can be lonjas on NAE and NAW but not on NAE (server1) and NAE (server 2)

[elder anchor]

ok gotcha

[oblique dove]

@vapid sand if you really optimize your gear you can get 3 different engravings before 600. Not super efficient tho

[elder anchor]

wrong @

[oblique dove]

ohh my b

[thick wedge]

is there like a training area where I can test my pvp diary skills?

[oblique dove]

'stagger' is the basic form of CC. stagger immunity means you wont be prevented from acting when hit with an attack that inflicts stagger

[oblique dove]

eh you can sort of do it in trixion (the room with the training dummy) but it doesnt work as well as you might hope

[maiden locust]

Hello, do you know if i can import my character preset from RU to EU/NA client?

[regal valley]

stagger is like stun in other games?

[oblique dove]

its similar yea, its like when your character flinches when they get hit. There are other forms of CC like stun/paralysis as well tho

[regal valley]

ohh

[oblique dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPA7dl9Y5as

[maiden locust]

and it will work without any issue?

[regal valley]

some faces in NA are different so it might not look the same lol

[oblique dove]

they might have changed the order of some options which could affect it sadly

[maiden locust]

😢

[languid wasp]

ty

[patent cloud]

Will classes like the Scouter be released at launch for EU/NA?

[knotty bison]

i will leave it here for people that might know the answer,

1. when you reach lv 50 and unlock your stronghold, you can then use 600 gold to create alts straight to lv50 with certain amount of gear score right?

2. if 1 is yes, how does this work? I'm planning to create multiple alts at the start of the game, can I still use this feature after? or does it only apply after u unlock stronghold then there will be an option when creating a new character?

[shrewd ridge]

no

[shut pasture]

!class

[midnight flax]

Classes on release:
Warrior: Berserker - Paladin - Gunlancer
Martial Artist: Wardancer - Scrapper - Soulfist - Striker
Gunner: Gunslinger - Artillerist - Deadeye - Sharpshooter
Mage: Bard - Sorceress
Assassin: Shadowhunter - Deathblade
https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/game/classes

[oblique dove]

1. yes
2. you create the alt first, then go to stronghold and go to the 'knowledge trasnfer' and put the created alt in. You pay the 600g and then 8hrs later the alt will be lvl 50 with ilvl 302 gear

[knotty bison]

so as long as the alt is sub lv50 this method will always work or is there a limit?

[oblique dove]

yes it just has to be sub 50

it gives them (x) xp/hour until they hit 50.00

[exotic bison]

Is currency shared between alts?

[knotty bison]

tysm!

[oblique dove]

yes your silver/gold/crystals are shared @exotic bison

[knotty bison]

also do we have a more up to date server list? like what community are going what server?

[random pilot]

Oh wow didn't know this thanks

[exotic bison]

So there is a long term bonus to manually leveling alts to get quest gold?

[oblique dove]

this im not up to date with sadly

[oblique dove]

the 1-50 quests arent going to be giving you gold. The only 'long term benefit' that immediately comes to mind is that theres a card named 'solas' which you get while manually leveling which you dont get while boosting

and the card is a part of a strong card set that most ppl will use for a long time

[knotty bison]

oh yea, how would naming work? cuz since each character is gonna have a different name. How does one tell apart on friendlist? or like is there a family name?

[oblique dove]

you can add people on a specific character or you can have a limited # of people add your 'account' which is a new-ish feature in korea that will most likely be there on west release

[exotic bison]

I’m guessing the alts would take up guild space too?

[oblique dove]

mhm if you add them to guild they take a spot

[exotic bison]

Rough. Thanks!

[knotty bison]

that is interesting, so without that the friendlist is character based?

[oblique dove]

mhm

[sinful plover]

[oblique dove]

no, gold gets 1 northern lawmaker outfit

[steady violet]

Tomorrow pre-download? REEEE

[undone moat]

what, really??

[knotty bison]

the day after tmr

[oblique dove]

yes, the plat outfit is for plat pack

[exotic bison]

They’re EU so it’s Sunday.

[steady violet]

Sunday 4 am here

[halcyon valve]

I am going to be most active at 12 am to 5 am in PST is it better to play on a US East server for daily resets? I am seeing stuff that daily resets occur at 1 am local time.

[steady violet]

As long as resets are not in the middle of your play sessions, also get static, don't overburn, don't get in that rat race too heavily 🙂

[earnest star]

is this for na /eu only cause in RU and KR u can

[halcyon valve]

Yah im not trying to go on US-West if legit when I get home at around 12am and it resets at 1am

[trim void]

Yes that is taken from the Jan news update for the NA/EU region

[oblique dove]

i guess technically it would be better as you would log in after reset, but do know you would be playing at 3-8am local time which might not be very active

[earnest star]

this is RU

they have spaces

[oblique dove]

yes in RU you have space, in West you do not

[steady violet]

Apparently EUNA is different with naming >.>

[exotic bison]

They also have more than 30 slots

[earnest star]

well tbh thats kinda a wierd rule

any reason?

[shrewd ridge]

no they also have 30 at the start

[knotty bison]

do we know if NA east have more ppl or NA west?

[shrewd ridge]

if u see the ss

[exotic bison]

Ohh. Guild level. Gotcha

[oblique dove]

east generally has more players, west will still be very populated tho

[earnest star]

yes NA east will always have more players then NA west regardless of game

they just have a higher pop

[steady violet]

To boycott the naming in EUNA let's just name ourselves in Korean! Let's show em!

[shrewd ridge]

we have utf-8 so no hangeul

[knotty bison]

i see ty on that

and this is gonna be a wild question, is buying gold straight from player legal?? why is there some sites saying depending on the site it be safe or not??

[steady violet]

Son of a bishop

[oblique dove]

theres an in game system which allows you to exchange premium currency for gold. You give ($) royal crystals and get (y) gold and the player gives (x) gold and gets (y) blue crystals

out of game transactions are obviously prohibited tho

[knotty bison]

mhm, but u can also mail gold straight to another player right?

[halcyon valve]

good point now i have no idea. Lel

[undone moat]

how many alts do you guys recommend, and how often would I play them to fodder up my main?

[exotic bison]

All of them.

[knotty bison]

as many as u can

[oblique dove]

mhm you can in theory rmt but im not gonna go around suggesting it bc of the obvious risk to your account

[undone moat]

would each alt be a daily thing? or would it be every 3 days

[earnest star]

can u buy dungeon keys and stuff like that that can get u into activities with royal crystals

[knotty bison]

yea my main concern with this is that, how does the system define if u are just mailing gold to an actual friend to help them out or like actually RMT?

also this brings me to think, how does the game deal with bots

[oblique dove]

i dunno the inner workings of the system but they definitely catch ppl. they give you negative gold if you are caught

ultimately it'll come down to 'do things at your own risk'

[knotty bison]

hopefully the system is good against these gold bot farming

like personally i love straight up player to player trading or even just player to player gifting, it feels like u own the stuff in game, but these also comes with issues that's very hard to deal with

[oblique dove]

bots are naturally dealt with though in game systems. at the start they will most likely be rampant but as people progress through tiers bots wont be able to generate value as the 'farmable' items change each tier

[oblique dove]

nah

[knotty bison]

that's good to hear

sorry for these wild questions, it's just i look at mmos in the long run to see if it's worth that commitment

[maiden locust]

Do I need to create an account for Lost Ark, or will by Steam account work?

[oblique dove]

just steam

[earnest star]

i heard they made some microtransaction changes for na/eu anywhere i can read about that

[knotty bison]

even if u buy from amazon, they give u a steam key - so u do need a steam account for sure

[maiden locust]

ok

[gleaming valve]

how geared should an alt class be? just enough to clear the daily chaos dungeons? would i need to deck it out with engravings and or gems?

[oblique dove]

we don't know the 'final' numbers on cash shop stuff. think on roxx's twitter she said monday as they dont work weekends

[earnest star]

gotcha thanks

[exotic bison]

https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/slmwxl/shop_leak_from_ptb_from_twitch/

That just dropped a lil bit ago.

[maiden locust]

I wanna have a support alt what are the support classes?

[oblique dove]

yeah thats why i had 'final' in quotes bc the 'playlostark' acc was in there saying 'he doesnt have the final cash shop prices'

[knotty bison]

what are those 2 currencies? purple vs orange stuff

[exotic bison]

Paladin and Bard

[maiden locust]

Damn guess ill go bard

[olive stratus]

whats the other crystal, not the royal ones, the purple one?

[oblique dove]

the exact place you park an alt depends on where your main is and what tier you are in. Generally you want your alts to be able to do at least 1 and ideally both of the abyss dungeons that are in the tier your main is currently

[olive stratus]

also maybe a dumb question; where do u use gold except for auction house?

[oblique dove]

and later on when they release legion generals you want them to be 1-2 behind your main

[trim void]

that's the blue crystal

[olive stratus]

how to u obtain it

do*

[oblique dove]

upgrading gear will have a gold cost as you go up in enhancement

[knotty bison]

what's loyal crystals? the ones u buy?

[trim void]

there is some stuff ingame that provides but mostly from exchanging gold into it

[olive stratus]

oh so some stuff in the shop is available without spending money?

[trim void]

royal crystals are real money

[olive stratus]

like phoneix feather thingy for res

phoenix*

[trim void]

yes, our build is very much like the KR version in that sense that a lot of stuff is available for both royal crystals and blue crystals

[trim void]

don't ever spend your crystals on these

[olive stratus]

why not lmao

[trim void]

cos they are given out for free like candy on halloween

[olive stratus]

what else is there to spend them on

Oh okay

[oblique dove]

costumes

[olive stratus]

oh so u can buy costumes with blue crystals?

[umbral hazel]

Monthly crystal aura

[olive stratus]

ahh

[umbral hazel]

Only some of them

[oblique dove]

some are royal only, some are royal/blue

[olive stratus]

i mean anything is fine for me. Don't feel like spending real money on cosmetics

[knotty bison]

smart marketing --> sell good skins/costumes, that way player is happy and company is happy, win win

[umbral hazel]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/903532775200665671/939622381012545577/unknown.png

if I use the tripod locker and transfer it to gear A.
Can I still use gear A to transfer one of tripod to gear B?
Same question but reverse, if I do this transfer to A can I still modify one of the tripod on gear A like normal?

[shut pasture]

You can also buy costumes on the Auction House for gold so long as players have listed them

[oblique dove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jitSdiNx74 this video will tell you everything and more about tripods, they are sort of confusing to explain via text for me

[olive stratus]

i seeeeeee very nice

[iron orbit]

For the material rewards you get from island quest, is that per server or per character?

[oblique dove]

server

[umbral hazel]

Thanks for the video,
But I was mostly wondering if you could transfer tripods from gear that got it tripods from the storage. But will check the video anyway and see if he answer my question since no one else seems to know

[earnest star]

is server transferring a thing?

[trim void]

It is currently being tried and tested in KR it's a manual process and it's only up for a limited amount of time and cost 20$, we don't know when this will or even if it will ever come to the NA/EU version

[knotty summit]

If you buy royal crystals, can you use them on any server or just on the one you bought them on?

[ebon cargo]

When do you unlock dailies and chaos dungeons? As soon as you hit 50??

[oblique dove]

yes

[broken trellis]

right around there yes

[muted chasm]

How important is adventure book completion?

Is there a recommended % to finish for each region or just go for whatever you need?

[slim plover]

finishing 8 regions is 6 skill points

i wouldnt say its important but

skill points is a way to increase your dps

you should atleast get the ones unlocked through x%

[fickle pike]

why is na split into west and east? west looks like its gonna be dead and theyre gonna merge the 2

[broken trellis]

server iirc ? tho i never bought RC on ru to test and could be diff here, but server is best bet.

dont think they are directly said either

[undone moat]

is gold the premium currency? if not, can you turn it into it?

like in GW2?

[slim plover]

royal crystals are the gem equivalent, and yes you can

[oblique dove]

the reason you think west is going to be dead is bc you keep reading it here. the west population will obviously be smaller than east but far from dead

[slim plover]

oh sorry, no you cant turn gold into premium currency

but you can turn premium currency into gold

however theres a uh middleman? currency called blue crystals that can buy you cash shop things @undone moat

[oblique dove]

royal crystals --> gold.
Gold --> Blue crystals

[fickle pike]

if they do merge servers tho what happens to names?

[prime kindle]

If I game at 10pm-3am on east servers, what kind of content am I expecting to miss out on? I'll miss like 3/4 hours of the adventure island window and what else?

[oblique dove]

noone can answer that as there is no precedent @fickle pike

[undone moat]

thank you for clearing that up for me

and one more question, can people sell cash shop items on the auction board?

or is it just outfits?

[slim plover]

just cosmetic stuff

mounts, outfits, pets

[cedar hedge]

is endgame moneymaking constant raid spamming?

[slim plover]

completing dailies/weeklies

majority of that is raids yes

[cedar hedge]

playing on raids for alts?

[slim plover]

yes

[teal sedge]

@fickle pike names are region specific so if they merge servers in the same region nothin cuz if someone is named abc on server 1, someone on server 2 cannot have that name

i think i heard that

[potent shoal]

...do deathblades have katana skins?

[knotty summit]

Also i heard KR/RU has some kind of battle pass called ArkPass that we will get later, can you buy it with RC or only realy money?

[cedar hedge]

olav is it viable for me to spam raids on one char

[oblique dove]

Royal crystals for the premium tiers

[slim plover]

there are 2 paid levels and a free one, it costs royal crystals, but those can only be obtained through $

[prime kindle]

Like... are there no chaos gate windows at night as well? Anyone?

[slim plover]

you cannot spam the gold making raids due to them having a lockout, thats why you have alts

[oblique dove]

chaos dungeons arent a timed content

[trim void]

free/paid/premium

[teal sedge]

chaos gates are fine to skip... u get some shards to use at a vendor

[slim plover]

KR reset is at 6 AM, and the first set of chaos gates happen at 11AM and go until reset - we dont know due to reset being different

[prime kindle]

Ok thanks for that, so it's just the islands that have specific time windows?

[undone moat]

how does gearing up work for your main and alts? I'm assuming your alts need gear to be able to clear content for the upgradable drops

[teal sedge]

@prime kindle chaos gates happen at certain times, not same thing as chaos dungeons

[slim plover]

hes talking about chaos gates

[oblique dove]

ohh nvm you mean actual chaos gates, those are timed but have long window

[knotty summit]

how much would 19.6k and 49.2k be in EU?

[oblique dove]

i just figured anyone new is asking about dung rather than gate

[prime kindle]

Ah yea, chaos gates. So they happen randomly anytime before reset at 1am

[slim plover]

thats correct, you push your main to do the latest content and keep alts at «sweetspots» for gold

[oblique dove]

$20/$50. Pass is 3mo long

[trim void]

KR uses an extra zero in their royal crystals, so about 20$, 50$ in na/eu but obviously we would have to wait and see what our prices would be when it comes out

[slim plover]

its every hour

[knotty summit]

oh ok, sounds like the price will be similar to other games, thank you guys

[prime kindle]

Thanks, just trying to think of anything I might miss out on by choosing east over west lol.... this split region thing is driving me insane

[slim plover]

it all depends on how they decide to run

timed content with this reset time

[prime kindle]

Yeah so far it's just the islands that are a concern, but I got about an hour to work with daily before the window closes assuming they stick with 7-11pm est. They did say they might adjust the reset time depending on the peak hours so hopefully that'll work in my favor

[solid sage]

I live in the US but my steam store is in a different region, so I can't see the game page. If I bought the founder's pack on Amazon and activate the code on Steam, would I be able to play it?

[oblique dove]

if you live in a region that is not supported you will not be able to use the code

'live in' meaning 'location of steam acc'

[solid sage]

so it'd give an error if I try to use the code?

[oblique dove]

mhm

wont let anyone gift you either

[solid sage]

I see. Just gotta make a new account I guess

[warm trail]

are triports per char or per acc?

[proud elm]

Per char as you put them on your gear

[warm trail]

ports, not pods

[slim plover]

char

[umbral hazel]

Do my alt (Assuming I have a 50+ main) need to hit 50 before they can accumulate energy?
(Or whatever its called, the thing that you get for missing out on doing daily chaos dungeon)

[slim plover]

no, i dont think so

fairly sure they dont

[umbral hazel]

So I can just make 5x alt when I hit 50

hm need to write down some name

[honest aspen]

So just wondering how do you gear alt? if you did the knowledge transfer?

[final bramble]

The same way you geared your main. Later, there's catch-up mechanics.

[honest aspen]

Oh so i just focus on main till t2 gear?

than focus on alt?

tbh so lost on alt's in lost ark after watching videos about it sorry

[gaunt aurora]

well you farm dailies and weeklies for mats on your alt, some of the upgrade materials are one time only so you wouldn't do these but there's no limit to the stuff you get from dailies like chaos dungeons and guardian raids

[pseudo spade]

Anyone having trouble accessing the english patch?

It keeps saying I cant connect to server

[echo void]

Hey guys. New to Lost Ark (haven't tried playing on other servers). Also haven't played MMO's in a while but I did at one point. Usually the first character you pick in an MMO (if you're trying hard) is one that does well PvE, something that can solo well, clear stuff quickly, and are always welcome with parties. Which classes fit this mold?

[muted garden]

from what ive gathered, really anything works

might be worth looking into whether you want to play an easy or a harder class

and what looks fun to you

[proud elm]

@echo void that's the good thing about lost ark, you can pick any class and do well, the balance constantly changes but there is no class that is "weak", so you can play whatever you feel like playing :D

[warm trail]

can i make alts the same as my main char and use the engravings i learned on my alts?

[echo void]

I'm torn between Berserker, Destroyer, or Summoner. Glad to see that stuff seems balanced. I'll probably hold off on support classes since I have no one to play with from the start haha

[violet elk]

There is no Destroyer or Summoner at launch

[signal hound]

summoner isnt out on launch, nor is destroyer btw

[echo void]

Oh... Which ones will be out? Sorry for being uninformed

[violet elk]

Zerker will be

[proud elm]

Supporters actually have no trouble at all clearing solo content as well, so don't feel like you have to hold back and because supporters are sought after you will have no trouble finding public groups at all

[violet elk]

How hard is it to full clear the Cube at early gear levels?

[jade pumice]

hi, i`m new to Lost Ark and am planning to try the English release soon, but unfortunately my region is IP blocked, between NA or EU which server provide better ping to SEA region ?

[jade pumice]

i`m afraid to get in either JP or KR server because of the language barrier

[river torrent]

is the supply crate from silver/gold founders worth anything?

[violet elk]

NA west is your best bet for SEA

[jade pumice]

i`m aware that english translation exist, but does english community exist there ?

[violet elk]

It's Western United States, so absolutely.

[violet elk]

Worth as in what exactly?

[harsh zodiac]

does downloading the preload as soon as its dropped give you any advantage at all

[violet elk]

No need to DL on launch day so you get in faster.

Besides that, no.

[harsh zodiac]

oh ok

[jade pumice]

i`m sorry but dont really quite understand that, do you mean the EU / NA server or the JP server ?

[river torrent]

is it valuable, stuff that actually helps

[violet elk]

NA West

[rotund flare]

There are isolated english communities that play on KR and JP, yes. There might be less of them with NA/EU release due.

[violet elk]

The combat stuff is good but it's not a very high value. It's nice for new players, but it isn't the real selling point, no.

[jade pumice]

I see, i`ll give it a try on global release to see if i can survive the ping

[violet elk]

@river torrent What you really are looking for in the packs is the exclusive stuff and good 1:1 rate on $. Which makes the gold pack the best value at 1:2 rate. Plat is 1:1.6, roughly.

The crystals and the character slot ALONE in Gold = the entire $50 cost. Everything beyond that is bonus and quite nice.

[violet elk]

cloudping.info to check your ping to the Oregon server, which is the one you'd want to play on in NA. Also look at other regions too.

!cloudping

[midnight flax]

Test your ping to Amazon servers:
https://www.cloudping.info/

[jade pumice]

thank you, i`ll try the ping test.

[violet elk]

Look at Tokyo, Seoul, and Oregon

Those are the three regions you'll want to consider.

[echo void]

Will there be a California server?

[violet elk]

No

[echo void]

Oregon it is?

[violet elk]

Oregon (west) and Virginia (east)

[echo void]

Ah. 40 ping estimated by that link for me. That should be decent right?

[violet elk]

Anything under 100 is good. Once you get in the 20-60 range it's no real difference.

Only certain classes in PvP will really feel the ping over ~90ish.

[thick wedge]

is there a way to turn off the sound of the crowd/spectators in arenas 🤔 without turning off sound effects

[echo void]

Thanks

Are characters server locked?

[jade pumice]

i`m getting around 230 ping for Oregon, is the game playable with that kind of ping ?

[long prawn]

Yes

[echo void]

Just to clarify. If I make one and play on NAW, I can't play that same character on NAE

[violet elk]

Playable ya. So long as you don't have packet loss it won't feel bad. If you have some though certain fights will be painful.

[violet elk]

Correct. Nor can you play with people from NAE.

[echo void]

Ahh, thanks again

[jade pumice]

is there a way for me to check my packet loss like cloudping ?

[echo void]

I see. So you can play cross server on certain things only.

Character names are region wide 😲

[long prawn]

Yeah but NA east and west are 2 regions no cross region stuff

[echo void]

Good thing I got the founders pack hahaha. Gonna get on the second it goes live just to get my character names 😂

[river torrent]

can the RC from founders be used to get avatars? like how much does an avatar usually cost? dont like gold or palt skins

[sharp bear]

they arent tradeable at moment

idk if they are dismantle-able

[rotund flare]

Yes.
On RU, the prices vary in the 10-15 euro region for store avatars, and sometimes less.
We don't know what the prices will look like in EU/NA.

[echo void]

Looks like there will be some cool looking twitch drops https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/how-to-claim-lost-ark-twitch-drops-1691918/

[gaunt lion]

What adds more net DPS? +16% damage (e.g. from Barricade engraving) or +15% attack power (e.g. from Elemental Absorption engraving)

[distant python]

can i carry bloodstones from one guild to the next

or do they evaporate when i leave the guild

[final bramble]

Is there any way to rebind the camera movement keys in the estate build mode?

[echo void]

If you were to choose your first character for pure function (not caring about playstyle or anything else) which would it be from these three - Paladin, Zerker, or Sorc? I've narrowed down my choices from the ones that will be available on release.

[bright quiver]

mainly trying to decide between gunslinger, deathblade, demonic, sorc, berserker. i enjoy mobility and quick attacking classes. nothing that feels clunky or slow. what do u recommend?

[sharp bear]

gunslinger

[umbral hazel]

Paladin, Support is always gonna be appreciated no?

[sharp bear]

paladin is easy as support. zerk/sorc are fun as dps

[vagrant finch]

yes each support class will be needed

[echo void]

So this is my opinion from what I've read so far. Paladin's are vital when it comes to end game content (shouldn't have a tough time getting there either), Zerkers will prob have a fun time getting to the end game but will require more skill to be great afterwards. Sorcs are a lot of kaboom, looks fun, squishy, and high skill cap.

[sharp bear]

yep im going as sorc for it ❤️

[vagrant finch]

I have been told a lot of people switch from Sorc as it's such a stand still cast class

they look really cool tho

[echo void]

Yeah. The gameplay looks like a lot of positioning and casting. Then enjoying your kaboom results.

[vagrant finch]

I was thinking Wardancer first and change to Lance/Reaper/Scouter

[sharp bear]

my alts will be bard, artist, reaper, lancermaster, and future aeromancer

[echo void]

The martial artist classes don't really appeal to me for some reason. I like swords or magic lmao

[vagrant finch]

very true I will most likely make every class tbh over time

[final bramble]

Might like lance master when she comes over

[echo void]

Either big slash or Michael Bay films

[vagrant finch]

T3 Demonic with Transformation build looks crazy for mobbing

[echo void]

Ok I think I'm really leaning towards Paladin now. Looks like you'd have a chill time clearing stuff and parties will immediately just take you in

Also looks like a good class to learn the game's mechanics with buffs and debuffs

[bright quiver]

so what is the path to go on release? level 3 or 4 characters to max to start funneling or just level one and do a bunch of content?

[echo void]

What is funneling?

[maiden locust]

making alts is the meta

[final bramble]

That sounds like a great way to burn out

[bright quiver]

so best to make alts asap?

[final bramble]

No

You can if you really want to have them to run through dailies

[echo void]

Do you guys mean making alts to funnel resources to your main?

[bright quiver]

i do, and since leveling seems fast i don't mind it. i shouldn't burn out quickly

yes

[echo void]

From quests and whatnot

[knotty bison]

does guilds have any benefits?, thinking to make a guild but it would matter too much if players are just casual?

[echo void]

Used to play Ragnarok back in the day. Had 5 characters I spent more than an hour each day just mindlessly doing daily quests to get the rewards lol. Looks like there's going to be some of that in this game too.

[maiden locust]

there are many guides for sweaty first day strategies

[bright quiver]

where would i find a decent guide?

like is there a good website with guides or should i just google something

[misty tree]

There is a rest system u can make use of

[dusky bough]

is leveling faster in a group or solo?

[maiden locust]

same speed

[misty tree]

Guide for what? Everything

[bright quiver]

sweaty first day strategies

[echo void]

How many days?

[rotund flare]

Maxroll. #guides-and-info

[maiden locust]

https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/
use this as a general website for guides, and i will link a more sweaty one in a sec

[misty tree]

Theres 5 bars u can fill up

So 5 days

[echo void]

I see

Saw this comment on a reddit thread. Is this accurate?

Long story short, if you play every 3 days, the 2 days before accumulates 50% each, so when you play on the 3rd day, you get 2 days worth of loot.

[maiden locust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWMlhRCcEVg&t=4s
@bright quiver

[bright quiver]

tyvm

[final bramble]

Yep

You get about 66% of the loot you'd have gained from playing every day

[echo void]

After maxing out. How much time does it take to do dailies on one character?

[distant python]

do you keep bloodstones if you leave a guild?

[maiden locust]

the game is kinda built around playing more than 1 character, and dailies take 30min to 1hour depending how fast you are

[echo void]

That's not bad. How many alts do people usually have?

[maiden locust]

2-3 if you dont want much, but having 5-6 is common too

[wanton oak]

Probably a dumb question and there's probably it's answered somewhere already.
Say if I bought one platinum pack. Does that apply to one server only? Like if I decide to play on the NA West server, and then open the platinum pack there, will it be not available in NA East server?
(Just asking because my friends are like split apart two servers so I might decide to play both)

[rotund flare]

Its most common for people progging endgame to have 4-6 chars. 6 chars is max for gold income. Some have many more to funnel mats. It all depends on how much time you want to spend doing dailies.

2 chars can suffice.

[maiden locust]

1 region, 1 server, and skins to 1 character

[graceful dome]

does anyone know how long it takes to up guild capacity since it only starts at 30?

[prime kindle]

Is the daily reset 6am for every server other than NAEU?

[cedar anchor]

I have a question about the founder packs stacking, if i get gold and plat will i have 8 char slots?

[sly moss]

ya

[maiden locust]

they stack, yes

[wanton oak]

so it won't be available for a second server?

[cedar anchor]

Is there any way to get more char slots or is this the only way?

[echo void]

Daily quests are done for the gold right?

[maiden locust]

it wont, you would need to buy another pack on another account

[misty tree]

Im not sure how much exactly the rest bonus gives you. But that sounds about right

[wanton oak]

do I need like two packs like a gold and a platinum to get it for another server?

[rotund flare]

Crystals. Swipe or gold ingame.

[cedar anchor]

Ah ok thxs

[maiden locust]

10 dollars in cash shop after launch

[echo void]

Wouldn't it be more economical to just make multiple steam accounts and buy gold packs on each? Instead of buying plat and gold on one account (even if it is possible)

[rotund flare]

Dailies are done for gold, upgrading mats and accessories from chaos dungs.

[cedar anchor]

Are you able to transfer gold through char? Or they char bound

[knotty bison]

umm are raids like guild specific?

or u don't need a guild to join t3 raids?

[maiden locust]

account bound, any character can access it, also you can trade it on AH

[echo void]

Can you trade gold straight up in this game?

[rotund flare]

You can pug raids. You can even find a static group outside of your guild to prog with.

[maiden locust]

yes in the auction house

[echo void]

So you have to sell some cheap item for a ridiculous amount of gold

[muted garden]

sorta yeah. playing multi account hurts account level (sorta) but in theory, it seems like having numerous accounts is the "true min max"

[maiden locust]

no? its like any other auction house, you sell items for gold or buy with gold

[pale crescent]

If I just want to rush through dailies on alt, what is the best class for rushing.

[muted garden]

if you want to completely give up your humanity

[echo void]

What if I want to give a friend gold straight up

[echo void]

Currently on a break from working. I think this is an option for me.

[maiden locust]

you can trade player to player as well
note worthy AH has a tax system to avoid reselling for profit

[cedar anchor]

Oh wut theres tax? How much tax is it

[echo void]

Yeah from past experience with other MMOs auction houses usually have taxes

[maiden locust]

its a currency called Pheon, you need an X amount for each trade

https://lostarkcodex.com/us/item/40110010/

[echo void]

Wait so you need 1 pheon to buy or sell something on auction?

[gaunt aurora]

only to buy

[echo void]

Ah

[gaunt aurora]

and it's not 1, it depends on the item

some items is 0, some is multiple

[echo void]

The more expensive = more pheons

[gaunt aurora]

it limits how much people can play the AH pretty much

[echo void]

Yeah. That seems like a decent solution. Played a game once where a key material for crafting was always getting price fixed.

Some dude with tons of gold would just buy them all if the supply is low and resell for 10 - 15% more

[muted garden]

Prayers demon

[pale crescent]

Which class clears dailies the fastest and why?

[echo void]

https://tenor.com/view/mrw-reaction-old-gamer-nerd-moms-basement-gif-4994401 Mode

Been playing esports titles primarily the past few years, pulling an all nighter on an MMO gives me nostalgia.

Here's hoping Amazon doesn't totally fuck it up like New World.

[muted garden]

Same

[spice igloo]

question: The rest xp you build up if you skip days doing dungeons, is that per character or account wide?

[echo void]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWMlhRCcEVg&t=4s Based on this video, it should be account wide. Which is why it seems like the first goal is to get a character to level 50 and unlock the daily quests/chaos dungeons and then make as many alts as you can. Someone confirm

[maiden locust]

hello! Im newww, somebody can tell me exactly how many different PvP modes have the game? 1v1, 3v3, 1v3, normal, ranked, etc...

[maiden locust]

you can check #pvp-general pinned comments for some info on this

[echo void]

Who here is going to play NAW?

[eager torrent]

Does anyone know if we can pay for a server swap later on in the game? Ex. I make a character on Una and then later on swap it to Azena when the population starts dying down.

[clever thicket]

Dumb new player question: intend ot play with a group of friends most of the time, do we need to make sure to have a gunlancer/tank and paladin/bard/support on all dungeon/content or can 4 dps do it fine

[maiden locust]

1 supp 3 dps is the meta, also having a gunlancer is always good

[maiden locust]

currently no way to change servers, and low chance that will be a thing

[hexed moon]

can we get to 50 lvl with only main quest line like in korea or do we have to do side quest like in russia?

[maiden locust]

main enough

[modest robin]

Does anybody know if I can change my character creation features after character creation?

[broken trellis]

yes for a price

there is a char creation ticket in the shop

[modest robin]

I see ty good to know!

[maiden locust]

yes, you can buy a ticket in the cash shop after launch, so far it looks like it will be around 10 bucks

[wicked ether]

Weird question here,
I was wondering if you guys think the guild name " Dingdings " would be allowed or not, asking because some of my friends were making guild name suggestions and so this one was the most popular for some god damn odd reason, and I know that character/guild naming is really strict and I don't wanna get banned . . .

[wind summit]

lol

[violet elk]

What PvE content is normalized?

[spiral thistle]

Weekly guardians, challenge abyss

[violet elk]

Is hell mode not normalized?

[spiral thistle]

Probably, and mythic. But it's stuff I never did

[prime ore]

Is reaper released in jp yet?

[ionic sparrow]

i couldnt find it is there an estate crafting guide? for example how to get the yellow t3 upgrade material fast

[polar wedge]

Can you form a party cross server for raids, or is it only some kinda auto matching for cross server raiding?

[spiral thistle]

Create group in group finder and you can manually invite cross server

[polar wedge]

Group finder is cross server?

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[polar wedge]

Oh sweet ty

[dark glade]

For tripods, can I transfer a good set to a gear and then sell that gear on market for profit?

[oblique dove]

no the item becomes bound once you transfer the tripods to it

[cedar anchor]

Where can i find character creation presets?

[dark glade]

Ohhh okay that helps. If i find a gear with great tripod, can i buy, transfer to locker and resell back to market?

[oblique dove]

yes, theres a limit of 3 times that can be done on an item though

so be careful to not buy one that has no more binds left on it

[dark glade]

Okay thanks! This helps

[kindred token]

Hell mode and mythic ashates is normalize everyone get a fighter diary (like pvp arena)to use

It is the absolute normalize content compare to abyss trial(weekly abyss) and heroic gr(weekly guardian) where those 2 engraving work. Aka yep you guess it elitism with engraving will not take new players even though gem ,gear,food and cardset doesnt work

[bronze whale]

for customization presets, anyone know how to convert the korean presets to NA using notepad++?

[kindred token]

Open preset with notepad++ change KOR to USA

ONLY those

[bronze whale]

in the notepad++ when I open it, it formed with buch of weird letters

[hallow kestrel]

Can we save our character customization preset from RU and transfer them in NA?

[kindred token]

Doesnt matter if it have some weird symbol after or before the KOR

Just change KOR to USA

[cedar anchor]

Anyone know where to find char presets?

[kindred token]

You only change 3 letters

[bronze whale]

kk

[kindred token]

Also not all preset work but they do work

[cedar anchor]

I have been searching but cant find any presets anywhere

[kindred token]

Not 100% work. Cuz i transfer kr preset to naeu beta it look exactly like it suppose to be. But same preset to ru look meh

But yes you can just save it and change the code and well take a screenshot how you do your preset for safe measure

[hallow kestrel]

Thanks yan

[violet elk]

I can't get a single KR preset to work on RU.

Even the files look wildly different

[young thicket]

hello!

i wanted to ask, the new mage class for lost ark thats coming out on release is?

[bronze whale]

can you check if I changed it correctly?

[young thicket]

its not summoner anymore right? what's the name in russia?

Is it sorceress? or arcana?

[kindred token]

Just screenshot before and after and dm me dont send me the file

[long prawn]

Sorceress

[young thicket]

ty :"hug

[kindred token]

Ikr

[sly depot]

are strongholds account wide or character exclusive?

[kindred token]

I think ru have something unique compare to naeu and kr lol

Even jp preset when i asked my friends

[serene rain]

Where can i check the classes that are being released after launch?

[maiden locust]

nowhere yet

[fossil hound]

I’m having a hard time settling on class, I really prefer a fast paced mobile class that’s a female. I mostly pvp but tier list doesn’t matter much to me, just curious if anyone has a class they’d recommend me look into more?

[potent shoal]

sry off topic but, is completing the vern storyline necessary to unlock island quests?

i think deathblade is good for pvp no?

[maiden locust]

female and mobile for pvp is deathblade

[carmine thistle]

How you can get gear after you finished the raids & dungeons daily limit, is it like bdo/diablo if you go to a zone you drop items?

[potent shoal]

no

gear from chaos dungeons and raids

[maiden locust]

this game is more about making more characters and doing dailies weeklies with each
after that, collectibles and side quests

[carmine thistle]

so for example if i want to play 10 hours and i finished them, what i can do next to get gear on that character?

[potent shoal]

well the way it works is, you get gear from chaos dungeons, and then the next step is to upgrade using materials

its more farming materials to upgrade your gear

[carmine thistle]

oh, i see.

thanks ❤️

[fossil hound]

Oh really? I was looking into assassin classes and both looked pretty slow in the pvp videos I saw. I mained a Kunoichi in BDO and it spoiled me 😂 was hoping for a class similar but blade seemed more like a samurai.

I’ll look more into the class though! Thank you ❤️

[maiden locust]

It seems fast enough for me, but if you cant decide from guide/videos, then lvl up 2-3 classes and test them, you only need lvl 26

and ask around in #pvp-general chat too, people there should have more input on this

[misty tree]

Gunslinger

[fossil hound]

I'll look into her as well! ty ❤️

[kindred token]

if you mostly pvp then gunslinger ye. Pve gunslinger is not that fast they considered slower classes compare to the fighters

[pallid elm]

How is deadeye yan

@kindred token

[kindred token]

deadeye is same boat

unless handgun

classes that doesn't build agility will never feel truly fast( they might have mobility skills to make them look fast but if you play agility class like scrapper /bm and come back using deadeye/gunslinger in pve)

you will see all those mobilities skill that fancy deadeye/gunslinger is just ye slow af

[kindred token]

but ofc all this is without support/wardancer/blade buff

later on with support using 1445 sets they can give you 8-10% ms/as then wardancer can give you a bunch of ms as too

so you will be fast but alone without any synergy gunslinger/deadeye is not that fast

they are faster than class that dont build agi like them but not faster than any that build agi

[pallid elm]

Ok. Thanks for the info Yan 🙏

[queen kayak]

im having a hard time deciding between war dancer and striker, they both look like my play style, can someone explain to me some more detailed differences please? thank you

[maiden locust]

mostly the same class, with like 6 different skills, wardancer is considered better or easier

[queen kayak]

ok, cool. also another question, i watched a video that said striker was more burst dmg and wd was more sustained. what do u think is the better type for the long run

[maiden locust]

https://youtu.be/4oIb35347MQ?t=550
this video explains the diff

[queen kayak]

wiat what are tiers

he keeps saying tier 3

does NA only have tier 1 for now?

[kindred token]

naeu gonna be tier 3

but ofc you progress t1 t2 like usual

[raw jewel]

I'm on the fence about the Plat pack, Idk hoe I feel about the skins and mount, I wanna earn that stuff but they do look really cool..I would probably spend the crystals on the shop for stuff like different effects or something but what's the point of playing a gear game if you just buy the gear and mount right?

Maybe higher tier gear will be better than this stuff anyway so it's just good for a while or something that would work

I heard the mount is really good I just don't want op stuff like that right away you know

[oblique dove]

As of a recent update all mounts have the same base move speed, so aesthetics should be the deciding factor in you wanting it or not

[queen kayak]

ok thanks

[raw jewel]

Are there more cool looking mounts? The 3 headed dog is sweet!

That sounds like a strange update, wasn't there different speeds based on rarity or something?

[oblique dove]

Yes different rarity used to influence movement speed, they removed that to prevent the ‘feel bad’ experience of liking a skin that was lower rarity

[raw jewel]

Ohhh

[maiden locust]

copy pasting others advice for builds and everything takes away the fun of choosing your own way btw

[raw jewel]

That works yeah, it should be tied to riding speed or something like wow maybe

Or just nothing works its not that kind of game anyway

I'm fine with that

[maiden locust]

I mean, this is the DPS Paladin argument

[raw jewel]

Okay so you don't need the dog mount then, I'm assuming there's lots of cool other skins anyway

[oblique dove]

Mhm you don’t need the dog mount at all, just an option if you like how it looks

[analog eagle]

We still don't know what dash or skills the 3 headed dog has? Is this consumer rights violation by amazon

[maiden locust]

about pala should be healer thing that everyone say?

[raw jewel]

Miunt skills what?

And dashes?

:O

[maiden locust]

yes, Paladin should be healer, as his dps build is only 80% of anyone else's dmg

[maiden locust]

i see ppl say pala should go healer build . if u dont like healing screw them play dps like cmon. not everything should be perfect min maxed

[oblique dove]

Each mount has a couple of visual effects bound to them as well as a dash yes

[maiden locust]

If you look at it as a solo character sure, but there might be a chance every raid will deny you

ppl need to remember they dont have to let others decide for their spec and builds u know

[raw jewel]

Should I just go Plat to have everything then lol

And what about the skins? Would I be missing out without this stuff?

[maiden locust]

yea thats the risk u have to take. play good enough so raids might inv u 😄

[tender needle]

Do you guys think knowledge transfer will be worth on launch?

[raw jewel]

Or will other gear be better than that, or is that not even how gear works, it's just skins? Idek lol

[maiden locust]

you cant just buy it, you have to lvl up and do some quests to unlock it

[oblique dove]

You’d only be missing out in the sense that you wouldn’t be able to get it ever again. The gear you upgrade is different from skins tho

[maiden locust]

the founder packs are 99% skins and some potions

[tender needle]

i am aware of the basic mechanics of KT

[maiden locust]

i would play pala dps if there was a female version (would look badass tbh)

[raw jewel]

I thought I could buy/sell them in the shop down the line?

[tender needle]

questioning more so if the 600g or so is worth

[raw jewel]

Says they can be traded like 3 times or something

[gentle birch]

How many people can be in a guardian raid and a chaos dungeon?

[maiden locust]

its a one time, exclusive content

[oblique dove]

Typically you can but as per the community manager that won’t apply to the plat skins

[raw jewel]

Oh really??

[oblique dove]

4

Yeah it’s buy it now or never sadly

[maiden locust]

yes its worth it

[raw jewel]

Maybe I should just get it then for when i wanna do a mount off or something lmao

[maiden locust]

female berzerker

guys about appropriate naming. dont rly know the red line and to what degree u can use some words in ur name? any exact info on it?

[raw jewel]

It's just a great flex to have something like that in a few year sor something lol

[maiden locust]

exactly, just as a collection that you can show off later

like if i name my character BlackWh@re is it bannable

[oblique dove]

Most likely yes

[raw jewel]

I just didn't want the skins to overshadow other content but it sounds like that's not how gear works

[maiden locust]

the game might detect it and not let you choose or if it lets you, then someone might report you later

[maiden locust]

assasinbi#ch? was just wondering

[maiden locust]

what happens then u get banned or they tell u to change ur name?

[maiden locust]

for example in League of legends you get a free name change, but if you choose another bad word, next time its a ban

[oblique dove]

Honestly even if you didn’t get hit by an automated system with that named, you’d certainly get reported. No clue if that would equal a ban or a forced name change

[oblique dove]

Yeah it’s not how it works, regardless of the skin you have you gotta level the gear separately

[maiden locust]

think one time change is fair

naming your char "Underwear" and get banned

[raw jewel]

Okay that's cool I judt didn't want the skins to be way more cool than alot of the other gear or something

I guess it's just another thing to flex though if you want

So that's fine

So I should just go with the Plat pack then?

[oblique dove]

if you want the skins for flexing purposes plat is your only option yes

[raw jewel]

I just didn't want to use those skins all the time, like the game itself doesn't have as cool of stuff but I doubt that's the case

[maiden locust]

note that you can have only 1 skin, cant get all of the plat skins

[raw jewel]

Oh really??

That makes it pretty cool actually

[maiden locust]

yes, you have to choose 1 class

[raw jewel]

Okay that's actually better

Makes it more special

I'm assuming everyone here is plat then lol

I played the game on RU severe years ago and the lag left a bad impression..

[maiden locust]

how much ping u had?

[raw jewel]

It looks like there's xbox controller support now too? That's sick!!

Like 200-300 it was very bad

[maiden locust]

im gonna get 98-101 ping with exitlag was wondering if game is playable like that

[raw jewel]

I don't remember much

With the steam launch?

[maiden locust]

yea eu

[raw jewel]

That sounds pretty high still but still very good dude

You will be fine

No problem

150 to 200 is when things get delayed

I hope the gamepad support is pretty good, can't wait to try that out too

I also heard they are working on a console version that would be sweet

[maiden locust]

hmm

yea 100 ping is totally good in warcraft and other games but in chivalry2 for example i have to shoot arrow where my target will be in 2 sec hope its fine with ark too

[long prawn]

Ark has client side hit boxes you can play pve with 200 ping fine

[narrow pier]

Hi, i'll ask some question, i still haven't chose what class to play, so can i ask what is the fastest class to move arround ? What is the most difficult class to play ?
I'm looking for a fast, combo class. I'm mostly going to do PVE but PvP sometimes can be fun.

[maiden locust]

nice to hear. will also want to focus pvp xD

[strong vigil]

if I buy the gold and plat pack do I get 2 of the northern armor sets?

[long prawn]

For pvp gl ig

[river gust]

how many character slots will be readily available at launch?

[maiden locust]

sywo has some nice starter guides

[long prawn]

6 per server

[maiden locust]

how much u need?

[stoic coyote]

question. once you open game for first time, can you make multiple charactersand name them, before starting th game

[long prawn]

100 is already a bit iffy for pvp

But shouldnt be too bad

[river gust]

all 6 off the rip? so then 7 with founders pack character expansion slots?

[maiden locust]

i played months of albion with 350 ping think i might get used to 100 pvp in ark

[long prawn]

Yeah

[river gust]

cool ty

[long prawn]

You make one and then you can just go back to the char selection menu and do it again

[red lichen]

at least on ru and kr servers, youre put back into the character selection screen after creating a new character

[stoic coyote]

ookkkay thank you

[maiden locust]

nice so u can reserve 5 names basically?

[river gust]

everyones gonna be farming names

[long prawn]

You can get 6 names

[red lichen]

all 2-3 letter names will be gone in less than 30 seconds

[maiden locust]

wait for WTS name players

[long prawn]

You cant really sell names

[red lichen]
