[upper raptor]

yeah i'm like trying to figure out if Bronze+Silver+Gold is more value to me than just a single PlatPack

The martial artists plat avatars are kinda whatever and the mount isn't all that amazing to me

[oblique dove]

if you dont like the mount+plat avatar the 3 option is much more value than the plat

and you get the choose the pet in all 3 colors as a bonus

[upper raptor]

Yeah just kinda needed some confirmation, thanks Cho 🙂

[upper raptor]

Yeah that's something i thought of, i think features (bank, AH, repair [..]) are a one time unlock per pet on our vers so i don't really know what to do with the multiple cats

Alts i guess

[oblique dove]

can have a pet for every outfit

[upper raptor]

True that, fashion endgame

[maiden locust]

Is there anything exclusive to the cash shop? something you would recommend because you can't get it from AH for example.

[upper raptor]

Not sure we have a properly confirmed ingame shop list, likely cosmetics + premium (crystalline aura) and that's it i think (and certain currency )

[daring light]

What is royal crystal for? Like is there smthing in the store that makes it worth to spend royal crystal??

[upper raptor]

costumes babyyyyyyy

[languid pond]

its locked to the first 15 advanced/sub-classes on launch so will not include future classes

[upper raptor]

[gusty basin]

what time is daily reset/weekly reset for NA east? its 1am daily and thursdays weekly right? or am i mistaken

[oblique dove]

i can give you a better answer when the cash shop gets locking in for our version. But typically character expansion slots are something that are cash only, so if you want more than 6 characters thats something to spend on

[upper raptor]

@maiden locust think he's responding to you 😛

[oblique dove]

ohh lmao yeha

Also outfits can be sold by players on AH but if its a super 'desireable' outfit itll come out much cheaper to buy with RC as ppl usually try and sell those for profit

[maiden locust]

and hey cho, what about account-storage? is that free?

[zenith parrot]

I got the Gold pack, but I'm thinking I should have got the plat pack. Can I upgrade it? Or is it too late?

[oblique dove]

you get like (x) slots of account storage free, can earn (2x) slots through collectibles, and can buy (x) slots if you need even more

[languid pond]

you would have to refund and buy the plat there is no direct upgrade

[edgy condor]

ahhh this is a dumb question but here goes nothing:
1.Since some of our guilds members will start at a later date 11th and further down, we are afraid of servers "locking" before 11th and not being able to play together, is this possible
2.EU server for reference, i see some might be really high pop/queues at release, even locked but we were looking at zinner since its mainly english and we have who to "scrim" and practice with
3. Server transvers, were they a thing on KR/RU, will they be a thing here, any info
we're really afraid of making a bad choice here and than having to suffer from it since there's server-wide locked content and some of the things we're looking to play/are interested in are under that caetgory, thanks

[clever thicket]

When you say 1 support you mean between bard/paladin or are gunlancers also included on that?

[maiden locust]

and what would u personally buy with cash? sorry if I'm bombarding with questions q_q

[vast oasis]

What can guild leaders do that deputies can't?

[maiden locust]

Skins!

[languid pond]

kick the guild leader

[vast oasis]

Do they have the exact same permissions?

With the exception of leader being able to delete the guild?

[oblique dove]

its fine, I only answer questions when im in a decent mood. I personally will save about half of my for future outfits and spend the other half on the special 1 time chests that give quests that reward . I do this bc the amount of you get from those boxes is more than one would get from directly buying them, you just have to do some quests to earn them

[maiden locust]

I wanna get the almighty :
but if u can get it from AH..don't know if its worth to buy it. I expect to buy some exclusive cash shop-items or stuff like that

[maiden locust]

Most skins are tradeable on AH as far as I know

[maiden locust]

are those quests permanent? or one-time only quests?

[oblique dove]

they're perma available but can only be done once

[faint pagoda]

Are there any rewards for doing Premade PVP?

[upper raptor]

you can really see me descending into madness
thanks again cho

[oblique dove]

haha np

[maiden locust]

Why not Plat?

[faint pagoda]

tomorrow plat?

[upper raptor]

dont like the mount

[vast oasis]

Yo do anyone know what the difference is between guild leaders and guild deputies?

[upper raptor]

dont challenge me

[maiden locust]

[oblique dove]

normal pvp gives tokens that can be exchanged for a good amount of mats on a weekly basis

[faint pagoda]

1v1 me

[languid pond]

[faint pagoda]

tyvm!

[upper raptor]

SORRY I MEANT THE AVATAR

the mount is actually fine

i need sleep

[heavy jolt]

Does guilds in lost ark get more rewarding with the guild missions with the more people that are in the guild. Like a guild of 30 compared to a guild of a 100 is there a difference in rewards?

[maiden locust]

[languid pond]

🤣

[maiden locust]

Oh and another question guys. How can u get these halloween skins? are they f2p or from the cash-shop?

thanks in advance

[upper raptor]

consider the fact that the game been out for years in other regions so all this type of content even cosmetic wise will find its way in in due times for events and whatnot

[oblique dove]

1. this is technically possible yes, although personally I don't think a server will reach 100% capacity until the 11th (maybe with the exception of like, server 1 on EU).
2. a recent addition to KR, but is in its infancy and is very limited, don't expect server transfers anytime soon tbh

[upper raptor]

i doubt anything halloween will be available on a february launch lol

[upper raptor]

Kadan players

[vast oasis]

Does anyone know what the differences are between guild leader and guild deputy?

[maiden locust]

I'm aware, but I wanna know how to get those

[upper raptor]

If i had to guess, like most other skins, ingame shop during the event introducin' em

[dense fiber]

Can anyone tell me how big the download is for the game?

[edgy condor]

locking a server before 11th...that would kill so many guilds/friend groups...

[oblique dove]

im not sure tbh, I think its just the right to kick the leader is restricted and the leader distributes rewards from gvg

[upper raptor]

Every single relatively big mmo launch/season opening is a disaster, my tip? expect the worst lol

[polar hull]

which class's are going be strongest in pve

[oblique dove]

as your guild increases in level you unlock better 'guild shops' which let you get more mats and such in exchange for blood crystals

[languid pond]

they are all strong :V

[polar hull]

lol people keep asking me i know which one i want play

[upper raptor]

^ what they said
if you want to feel loved and wanted then go bard/pala/gunlancer

[maiden locust]

this game looks like every other cash korean costume mmo

[late ibex]

Hey guys i have a question for anyone who plays league of legends so im looking for a class in lost ark that is similar to katarina in league. for example striker is similar to lee sin but katarina im not sure who.

[upper raptor]

long shot. deathblade? lol

[dense fiber]

then why you here and also this is the help channel lol

[maiden locust]

yup deathblade

[vast oasis]

Shadowhunter literally has Katarina's abilities

[oblique dove]

like 60gb iirc

[maiden locust]

🥱 don't play then

[vast oasis]

Like in some cases 1:1

[hot rivet]

bois need help
in the notepad++ i need to change RUS to USA
or RUSI to USA
to make it an EU/NA preset

[maiden locust]

my bad. just got here and trying to see what all the hype is about. wrong channel my b

[upper raptor]

"randomly made my way into the official discord, verified myself and got the lost ark help channel"

[late ibex]

For real ? i have had shadow hunter #1 in my list but i wasnt sure it was similar to katarina. I appreciate it!

[oblique dove]

RUS to USA

[dense fiber]

60 gig download? it says 50g on their steam page, but the beta was 60 gigs, i dont recall downloading that tho, i think the download was under 40 gigs

[upper raptor]

pepega

[maiden locust]

@late ibex https://youtu.be/9isEI5I1QXM

[maiden locust]

I mean thats what happened essentially, yeah

lol

[upper raptor]

pepega x2

[maiden locust]

Katarina on steroids

[oblique dove]

yeah i think its 60gb of data but a 50gb download

[late ibex]

xD I appreciate it!

[dense fiber]

mostly asking cause my internet is garbo for download speeds just hoping i can play tuesday lol

alright thanks 😄

[upper raptor]

preload today (on the 7th)

you'll be gucci friend

[light zealot]

Today at 5pm GMT

[dense fiber]

yeh i should be, internet is only 16 meg tho 😄

[light zealot]

Headstart is tomorrow at 5pm GMT also

[upper raptor]

🤞

[edgy condor]

@upper raptor i think you're right tbh...i dont think we risk it and we choose a low-pop (at least from info so faR) server so we can be sure we can play with friends that join later..

[hot rivet]

ty

[upper raptor]

Every server is going to be blowing up, but as long as you're not in kadan or zinnervale you should be alright 🤞

[edgy condor]

our primary choice was zinner since its english speaking and has decent amount of guilds for scrims and stuff but i guess nope

its choosing between if you are less afraid of queues/not being able to play with friends or stuck on a "dead" server after a month..

[upper raptor]

Don't let it scare you though. Everyone should be aware that all those polls, threads, and docs "claiming servers for communities" are still a very SMALL % of actual players

Most people will open the game with 0 info and click whatever name's cool to em

Also the server selection randomizes its order for everyone i believe, so even people always clicking the top option will go to different places.

[edgy condor]

well i wouldnt let it scare me if the stats didnt turn out to be 100% right for new world...all the servers that were said to be popular/full/queued were actually queued for the first month maybe more

[nova ivy]

Wait for the 11th and the f2p player

[upper raptor]

Lots of content is region wide. Except GVG stuff and queuing arena together and some OW stuff. You'll be fine

[maiden locust]

Any infographic or image showing what is character bound versus server bound vs account bound ?

[edgy condor]

i mean its kinda stresfull and its a game, we want to have fun, most of us have jobs and are in college, its kinda dumb that you have to stress if you will be able to play with your friends who join on 11th and if you will have enough people to play with after a month if you dont choose a popular server..

@maiden locust 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

[upper raptor]

I mean I feel you but we choose to stress 😛

[maiden locust]

Thanks to you !

[edgy condor]

cheers

[maiden locust]

Thanks !

[nova ivy]

@edgy condor At least your are with some friends.. Mine are stuck in PoE or FF. I'm alone at the start

[maiden locust]

I'll join a less populated server without any streamers and their kids, so i can collect my stuff in peace.

[upper raptor]

To each their own yeah, some people prefer it quiet, some people never want to see an npc because of the 921 mounts on top of it

[edgy condor]

well you're always welcome man, what can i tell you 😄 @nova ivy we are a bunch of different friend groups, some hardcore raiders some first time mmo gamers hahah

[spice igloo]

Saw a guide say that once you hit 50, max out alts in order to get bonus rest xp. Do alts each give rest exp to your account? or is the rest xp tied to each character?

[upper raptor]

I'm not sure about the rest xp but i wouldn't say that it'd be the main reason to get alts, alts can do dailies aka more gold aka faster progress (engravings etc) c:

[misty kestrel]

What is the power pass? kinda OOTL

[upper raptor]

Lvl boost

[nova ivy]

Its like a WoW boost

[upper raptor]

^

[misty kestrel]

It's not knowledge transfering?

[spice igloo]

I know about farming gold on alts, but this guide specifically said to fill out alts specifically for rest xp and I'm wondering what that meant

[obsidian fiber]

So is Azena gonna be insta queued forever or will amazon be able to just keep adding channels so that they can hold infinite amount of players :|

[upper raptor]

Nope that's different, mechanically
Transfer lets one of your alt auto complete MQ for 8 hours or something along those lines in exchange for some gold

The power pass is supposed to be straight up "ding" lvl 50

[misty kestrel]

with MSQ completed up to the same continent as a base lvl50 knowledge transfer?

[upper raptor]

That i don't know i'm afraid

I know we're supposed to get "a couple" through ingame gameplay means

[oblique dove]

yes base power pass auto completes MSQ up to vern. There are power passes that boost to later contents tho

the one we get is likely the basic vern one tho

[maiden locust]

Does anyone knows if Canadians chose à server to call home yet ? Heard about it in another channel but hâvent seen anything yet.

[novel wigeon]

does anyone know if non-english characters are counted as special characters when it comes to the naming restrictions on NA?

[maiden locust]

I'm kinda scared about my continent (SA). We're not as big as NA/EU playerbase-wise. Would u recommend me to jump to one of those servers instead?

[upper raptor]

I've read a bunch of spanish, french, polish, italian, scandinavian, but never canadian. :C

[oblique dove]

canadians will prob just go wherever in NAE unless you mean the Quebecois

[misty kestrel]

ty for answers

[maiden locust]

Is there a benchmark type of thing to check out character creation?

[upper raptor]

I'd prioritize your latency. The game runs and looks wonderfully, you dont want your ping to feel delayed

[late ibex]

Got a video showcasing it? Im honestly not sure where to find abilites showcase

[maiden locust]

Thanks. Yeah @oblique dove what about Québécois ? 😜

[subtle briar]

Hey does anyone know, if smeone is able to change servers after they select one if the ping ends up being bad?

[oblique dove]

thats one that I dont think has been unofficially stated yet sadly

[upper raptor]

KR has a server transfer (paid) feature, we wont get it at launch. We dont know if and when we'll get it

[edgy condor]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/htmlview?pru=AAABfso3MAo*pjFmLMrg58-PJuklerWxqQ# this might help for people wondering where some natinalities are going

[subtle briar]

ah so its account bound once you select a server?

[maiden locust]

Thanks for answers and help.

[upper raptor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oIb35347MQ&ab_channel=Kanon

[edgy condor]

i guess not only i am stressing about servers, most people are hahaha

[upper raptor]

yessir

[upper raptor]

Not that i'm aware of no

[subtle briar]

more or less for a friend ahaha

[edgy condor]

glad i found the help chat its the most sane one out of the rest hahaha, can keep me busy on my night shift 😂

[late ibex]

I appreciate it

[sterile summit]

is there a martial artist class that transforms?

[gray turret]

Has anyone tried using REWASD to rebind WASD to mimic controller joystick movement, using mouse to aim skills and playing like a traditional MMO?

[merry river]

The stress is real, still to decide on where to herd my group. Pisses me off 90% of them will quit after a month also

[oblique dove]

nah

[upper raptor]

No worries. I'm compiling a list of all content / vids / guides i've seen that i thought were helpful to different people from full on beginners to anything after that, feel free to check it ill update it often
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1syyA_H-knAhxjxvydV4hH5VNfFAdB-G5eIIbE0GYOik/edit#

[oblique dove]

demonic transforms but thats an assassin

[red lichen]

i want a wardancer for the pve synergies and bursty gameplay, i want a striker for the pvp speed and skill expression, but i dont want both taking up 2 character slots. what do.

[upper raptor]

Make both........... :))))))) alts are good!

[sterile summit]

how many slots are we gonna have? is there a cap

[edgy condor]

6 i heard

[oblique dove]

start w 6

[upper raptor]

6 and you can purchase more

[gaunt aurora]

char slots? 6, cap is 18 for now

[maiden locust]

What’s the best class/build to play for new char first time player at launch (no clue what I’m doing-something noob friendly if it exists) thanks for the help fellow gamers

[edgy condor]

from what i heard, 6 is optimal for max efficiency "farming/progressing" but its too much for anyone that doesnt have a lot of free time

[snow gale]

fextralife

[upper raptor]

It depends..scrapper and berserker IMO.

[gaunt aurora]

yeah but people still make more than 6 just to play the classes and see what's up

[edgy condor]

2 mains, 1 alt or 1 main 2 alts is what most people are gonna do

[little vigil]

has anyone seen a google doc guide for relevant tripods/engravings on T3 gear for each class so i know which one to sell?

[upper raptor]

Im goin scrapper and deathblade mains until lance comes out

[upper raptor]

Nothing that up to date / specific so if you do throw it my way so i can add it to the doc pls c:

[red lichen]

yeah, it really comes down to aesthetic and whether or not you enjoy the class. lost ark is really good when it comes to class balance, it mostly comes down to the player.

[upper raptor]

^

[little vigil]

oks

[upper raptor]

Yo people are on my doc im glad someone's finding it useful lol

[snow gale]

by the time you get to t3, you'll soon realize what stuff is worth is to sell

don't worry about it too much

you can easily check AH price by right clicking

[candid wadi]

imma make 3 of the same class, would just need to swap gear and stuff over

[shy vault]

is the story hard to rush?

[upper raptor]

Depends if you JUST do MQ you'll be done in a day, people do it in 9-10 hrs 😛 Choose your own pace

[shy vault]

even new people do it in 9 - 10 hrs?

with only mq

[upper raptor]

No no, was giving you extremes

[shy vault]

ohhh

[upper raptor]

diff subclasses have diff stat priority though be aware

[oblique dove]

cant swap actual gear that gives you lvl, only gems when you get the that system

[upper raptor]

and that

[long prawn]

probably 15-20 for a new player

[glass crest]

For area completion, is there anything better than the interactive map? just wondering

https://papunika.com/map/?c=overworld&z=overworld&l=us

[maiden locust]

Is this an ARPG or an actual MMORPG

[long prawn]

both

it is an mmoarpg

[upper raptor]

Mostly a semi traditional mmo outside of the isometric aspect 🙂

[candid wadi]

@upper raptor oh i mean that im going to make 3 bladedancers for example

[upper raptor]

oh

[maiden locust]

Is it sandbox or theme park

Looks like albion online somewhat

[snow gale]

just check out https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg will have everything u need

[upper raptor]

Oooh thanks ill throw this on the doc.

[maiden locust]

Gj on the doc. Thanks for sharing !

[sly depot]

can f2p players get legendary avatars?

[upper raptor]

No worries i didn't really do anything, just watched/read a BUNCH of stuff and put it together. 🙂

[oblique dove]

you can buy them from ppl on the AH

[sly depot]

word

[upper raptor]

I'll be updating it as i keep finding more relevant/useful resources, if anyone sees something missing that should be there i'll throw them in!

[sly depot]

whats the lowest gld youve seen pieces sell for

[oblique dove]

depends on the class/which season's avatar it is

they can get very pricy tho

[twin terrace]

when people saying demonic is a good alt, what other classes fall under this category ?

[sly depot]

i see

can they be crafted?

[snow gale]

what are you talking about in terms of "good"

[edgy condor]

https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/Q2nJcZPwIObvBYWJYiL506vouXn7KBBIbZGLAuPdSsI/%3Fwidth%3D705%26height%3D588/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/937746006257307748/937820138214940692/foulefr1zze81.png?width=703&height=586

[twin terrace]

the reasons that people say demonic is a good alt lol, cheap to gear, doesnt take long to be effective(easy-ish to play)

[edgy condor]

is there an update on this graphic ?

[snow gale]

never came across that

[oblique dove]

not through f2p means no

[upper raptor]

https://la-eu-servers.netlify.app/

[nova ivy]

https://la-eu-servers.netlify.app/

[sly depot]

ripppepepep

[oblique dove]

assuming you mean cheap bc they only 'need' 1 gem, then only scouter fits that and its not available at launch

[brisk plume]

check Zeals video about Avatars, he goes into deep details about them 🙂

[edgy condor]

seems like asta/wei/neria, all the "healty" pop servers are gated by a language barrier

[upper raptor]

I'm still thinking they'll have a more than healthy, if not even majority, amount of ENG speakers but we'll see

[snow gale]

honestly man, it's a small percentage of people responding to these things

[oblique dove]

every server is gonna end up healthy tbh

[snow gale]

think about how many normies there will be on launch

[upper raptor]

Yeah i told them, most people just click whatever sounds cool

[oblique dove]

ppl are going to log in day 1, see a long queue, move to the next server on the list

[nova ivy]

Yeah dont forget about the people that come at 11th

[maiden locust]

Yo, how healing works in Lost Ark? We can only afk out of combat or use HP pots? Anything else?
I'd like to play with Berserker (Mayhem/25%HP build) but I'm worried about healing lol

[snow gale]

only hp pots during raid content

[brisk plume]

Madness also provides 65% damage mitigation

[snow gale]

mayhem gives you 65% reduced dmg taken so u will be fine

[oblique dove]

you have 71% ehp with mayhem so its not as terrible as you think

[upper raptor]

Yeah make sure to not use your HP pots that you stack on while levelling, it'd be a waste

[brisk plume]

and if you pear it with Heavy armor

[misty tree]

Heals from hp pots or gwt ur support to heal u.

[upper raptor]

if it says health use it, if it says HP KEEP it lol

[misty tree]

STOP right there! 🚔

[snow gale]

[brisk plume]

LoL

[maiden locust]

So either hiring a bard or 30% HP pots, damn

[glass crest]

I took a look at maxroll, but don't see a section to look through each area for collectibles, prior to unlocking islands. Will world map tab be completed prior to headstart?

[upper raptor]

you'll be fine, they wouldnt make a class function in a way that it REQUIRES a pocket bard lol

[snow gale]

resources -> adventure tome -> region

[oblique dove]

as the ancient proverb says: just don't get hit

[glass crest]

ahh, yea looked at that. Thanks

[upper raptor]

Does maxroll straight up outclass papunika then you'd say? Or do they have exclusive info so it's worth consulting both? 🤔

[snow gale]

2 different sites

[brisk plume]

give them a week and they will be updating things as we get into the client

COPIUM

[sly moss]

you're gonna be seeing alot of DPS running heavy armor in the near future

[edgy condor]

thirain looks good tbh, only if the name wasnt so awfull....

[upper raptor]

well now you're being picky

[viscid escarp]

guys, stupid question, are we going to have legion raids at start or only guardian bosses and dungeons?

[brisk plume]

no comanders

[snow gale]

up to t3 abyss and no further

[upper raptor]

^ t3, legions will come later

[brisk plume]

Chaos dungeon Guardians and the abyss raid for now

[edgy condor]

i looked at all this info about the game but i never thought about asking, how long does it usually take to reach t3 ?

[brisk plume]

well we have to upgrade gear

if nothing is nerfed vs beta it will take a few weeks

[edgy condor]

hmm i thought it will take longer, guess not

[brisk plume]

well there is no real rush

especialy if we are in this state of T3 for 4-6months

[sullen hawk]

where to get this item ?

[snow gale]

maris shop

[misty tree]

Do you know what the original name was before?

[sullen hawk]

hmm what is maris shop? sry im newbie

[snow gale]

the f4 cash shop rotation

[brisk plume]

it's the blue crystal shop

were we can buy things after trading gold for crystals

[maiden locust]

News: Westerners need a VPN to connect.

it is realy ?

[brisk plume]

i don't think u need it

[upper raptor]

Original name? o:

[misty tree]

Yea, its Sillian in kr

[edgy condor]

okay this is as far as i know what i need to do, get 50, get awakening, get alts (depending on how many is your goal) do dailies on yr main and on alts if you can, is there a deep down guide on dalies

[upper raptor]

[sullen hawk]

i didnt see Guild mark Token from 1 - 5 from this image
somoene did mention rotation, does it mean it's only available on specific days of the rotation?

[brisk plume]

there u have it

[maiden locust]

A friend received an answer from the customer center, and he said that even westerners need a VPN to connect.

Is recommended to have all your alts in the same guild?

[oblique dove]

this is only if they live in a region that amazon didn't buy the rights for

[upper raptor]

Up to you. Guilds will have 30 slots on creation then as it levels up through guild quests, donations and gvg, it'll gain 2 slots at a time up to a maximum of 100 iirc.

So if you have room for it, sure. If not, make an alt guild or deal with it differently 🙂

[brisk plume]

no what is recommended is to have them in a guild for extra daily/weekly quests tho

you can make an "atls" guild it only costs 2000 silver

[maiden locust]

Oh aight, thanks guys!

[brisk plume]

np 🙂

[minor geyser]

Anone know if different raids/dungeons armor sets look visually different from one another?

[earnest star]

the game is still releasing feb 11 free to play right if u dont own founders? cause if i check steam it says coming feb 12 im in pacific time anyone know why

[brisk plume]

yes ppl tend to save some of the leveling gear for Arena to make them look "noobish" KEKW

[oblique dove]

yes still the 11th

[earnest star]

im in pacific time

[vast oasis]

Steams pre release stuff lies

[brisk plume]

probably it's the time zone showing it that way, the official date is 11th tho

[earnest star]

and it shows feb 12

[vast oasis]

Alot

[light zealot]

Doesn't say the 12th for me it correctly says the 11th

[oblique dove]

sleepy time for me, gl w your questions

[earnest star]

feb 11 9 am pacific, im in pacific but my steam is showing feb 12 im so confused

[brisk plume]

might need to fix your steam time zone option

to match yours

[earnest star]

my region is still pacific time even on steam

[brisk plume]

that's odd then

[deft owl]

your steam is being a piece of crap then

[earnest star]

smh as long as my purchase of gold founders doesnt mess up im fine

[light zealot]

Were there any polls made regarding server popularity, I'm guessing if you're trying to play with friends its better to go on a less popular server

If you have a founders pack you can play from tomorrow at 5pm GMT

[tulip plaza]

Err

[light zealot]

And everyone can predownload the game today at 5pm GMT

[tulip plaza]

What timezone are you at, comrade

Well, I suppose it would be 12 AM for people

[light zealot]

I'm from GMT It's currently 4am the 7th of feb

[tulip plaza]

Just slap them with this command

!release

[midnight flax]

Pre-download: <t:1644253200:f>
Headstart: <t:1644339600:f>
Launch: <t:1644598800:f>
These times adjust to your local timezone.

[obsidian fiber]

Has there been any in depth explanation or discussion on how they will restrict logins when the game and servers specifically get too populated? Will they lock character creation on servers or will they not do that and just add queues, or will there be neither and they can potentially just keep dynamically spawning more channels as needed because they have AWS infrastructure

[light zealot]

I'm pretty sure there will be some kind of queue for full servers

[deft owl]

^ also no official word

[hollow inlet]

Quick question, do alts use different saved location teleports?

[red lichen]

if i claim the northern warrior skin on my berserker, will i be able to trade it around to my gunlancer and paladin, or is it locked to advanced classes?

[light zealot]

Its locked to the character you claim it on

[red lichen]

got it, thank you

[pastel oar]

yes every character has their own bifrost locations

[red lichen]

do we know whether or not theres weapon skins with the northern lawmaker?

[queen thistle]

Hey guys is Lost Ark region locked? As in for example I'm from Europe but I want to play in NA West, can I just select that region or I need a VPN for it?

[light zealot]

@red lichen We don't know but it kinda looks like it from screenshots/gifs

@queen thistle I don't think so, but there are some regions that you just can't play lost ark from

[red lichen]

sounds good, thank you

[deft owl]

can select it assuming your country is supported (eg not netherlands or that other one)

[delicate ether]

Hey, what classes would you guys recommend to start playing? Just an overall good character that does a good amount of damage and has some health sustain.

[red lichen]

berserker and scrapper are both pretty healthy and deal good damage, really low barrier to entry too. experiment around though. all classes are viable and it really comes down to finding what you enjoy.

[maiden locust]

I need beserker build thats meta and good for a main. new player with no resources (refugee from mortal online 2) thanks for the help gamers ❤️

[red lichen]

youve got 6 free character slots, fill em lol

[ornate leaf]

I live in Taiwan, and the steam page for LA shows that it is currently unavailable in the region.
Would I be able to play it if I used a VPN to install from Steam? Would I have to have the VPN online all the time to play?

[upper pumice]

what is that legion raid mechanic I see where you can spend this yellow bar to summon an NPC to do dmg/support the team? E.G a dwarf that gives you dmg reduction/immunity?

[slim dagger]

is the platnium founders skin on the first character you create or can it be claimed on any character?

[queen thistle]

@light zealot @deft owl alright thank you guys

[edgy condor]

how do queues work, if you are logged on your main, can you switch you your alt and back and forth without having to queue again ?

[maiden locust]

need day one speed level guide will paypal 😛

[delicate ether]

Also is the gold pack worth buying ($50) ?

[deft owl]

any character on the server you made your first character on

[edgy condor]

@delicate ether yeah that's the "most" worth one

[maiden locust]

!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

[deft owl]

vpn is bannable., taiwan is not supported

[night valley]

Why are Shadow Hunter/ Scouter referred to as low investment classes?

[pastel oar]

you just have to to main story quest to reach 50, nothing special

[delicate ether]

Just in general is it worth to even get a pack, like does it give good enough things

[red lichen]

it will be in your mail as a chest on the first server you create a character on. open the chest on whichever character you want.

[deft owl]

gold /plat are decent values, if yo ujust want early access do bronze

[red lichen]

^

[light zealot]

If you want the headstart sure and if you would be buying crystals anyway since I think the value of the crystals you get from the founders pack is more than just buying them outright @delicate ether

[ornate leaf]

Yeah, I know, just wanted to know if its possible. since I cant really speak mandarin for the TW region,

[edgy condor]

@delicate ether if you are a veteran/already like the game yes, if you want to try the game no, if you are thinking about money value, yes they are the 15$ one is very good, y get 3 days head start and y get the important things, if you care about the items and a bit of a head start 50$ one is best value

[deft owl]

wouldn't count on it tbh, you can try but we wont know the results

[light zealot]

Is it true that the platinum pack outfits aren't going to be tradable like they are on the other regions of the game

[maiden locust]

can i mess up my character in this game like path of exile? or can I reset end game or is that even a thing

[sullen hawk]

Where can i trade my silmael crystal? Which NPc on which city?

[light zealot]

@maiden locust You can reset your skills points for free at any time

[deft owl]

i dont believe they'll be tradable

[delicate ether]

Sorry I dont really know much about the game but what would I use crystals for

[maiden locust]

ok so I can just hop in and chill play

[light zealot]

@delicate ether Its like the paid currency for buying skins/cosmetics and stuff

[delicate ether]

Is it anything useful or just skins and cosmetics

like anything thats actually game changing

[deft owl]

can convert it to blue crystals where you can buy upgrades and stuff /trade for gold which is also used for upgrades etc

[light zealot]

Nothing you can buy with crystals is that game changing in the end really

[deft owl]

^ you can earn everything ingame

[light zealot]

You could buy mats for upgrades but people that are f2p would catch up to anyone that pays for stuff before new content comes out regardless

[twin terrace]

how many character slots do you have in total with plat founders?

[delicate ether]

So I should just get the $15 one and it gives me some important things as well as the 3 day head start?

[deft owl]

yea

[deft owl]

7, its 6 base +1 from plat

[twin terrace]

okay. ty

[delicate ether]

Thank you guys, appreciate all the help

[twin terrace]

yeah fr. really cool community so far. im excited

[edgy condor]

prologue to shushire and prologue to n.vern is there a difference and what are those ?

is there different types of story/questing or what

[olive cairn]

Does anyone know how to open the UI for your PVP skill build and stat points?

I cant seem to figure out where I can premake my arena build, I only see how to queue for a match but I want to setup my skill points and stuff first

[light zealot]

Isnt it just a tab in the skill points menu

[pastel oar]

in RU if you use eng patch its fighters diary when you open coloseum

[olive cairn]

That's what I was looking for, thank you!

[olive cairn]

This is only true if you want to make PVE skill builds, but pvp is equalized so it has a separate menu

was struggling to find it as I realized there's only one more day till launch basically and I havent even tried pvp once LOL

[twin terrace]

does pvp utilize gems and stuff or no?

[pastel oar]

pvp is equalized, no gear or gems in there

[light zealot]

Were there any polls made regarding server popularity, I'm guessing if you're trying to play with friends its better to go on a less popular server

[olive cairn]

no, its completely equalized in the arena environment. The open world stuff in Rowen will utilize your gems and engravings though but that's not for another 6 months+

[median isle]

when can we download the game?

[light zealot]

Later today at 5pm GMT

[olive cairn]

There were but none of the polls really mean much given that the majority of the 100k + sales arent represented by our 2-5k poll participants lol

[olive cairn]

13 hours from now on Steam

[frozen zodiac]

If I preordered it on amazon.com will I get a steam code and can I use that on a canadian steam acc?

[olive cairn]

I believe there's instructions about this on the Playlostark website, just check out the news articles there

I'm also Canadian, I just bought my founders on steam so I avoid the extra 1-2min hassle lol

[frozen zodiac]

xd I'll take a look at the site but maybe that way would be better

[median isle]

ok thank you

[topaz hedge]

Question: Would it be smart to sell gold for crystals early on since people are rushing, and then turn around later when gold is more abundant and sell the crystals for gold???

I might be totally off on this, I’m bad with numbers/economy in general, but I’d like to know people’s thoughts on how to take advantage of launch to maximize my gold later on, since I’m not really rushing.

BTW I have no problems with rushing, it’s totally fine, done it before myself

[sly depot]

are quests completion and collecting stuff account wide or seperate for each character

[gusty basin]

what level does joining a guild/creating one unlock? is it early into the game or later?

[pastel oar]

account wide

[sly depot]

pog

[twin terrace]

do u have to go thru the story every character?

[sharp bear]

if lvling alt manually then yes

[deft owl]

no? nobodys gonna have gold at the start LOL

[twin terrace]

theres a way to lvl alts non manually?

[pastel oar]

system called knowledge transfer, pay 600gold and it gets boosted to lvl 50

[twin terrace]

i take it 600 gold is a lot?

[sharp bear]

yes at beginning

[pastel oar]

at the start yes, later on it's nothng

[sharp bear]

new economy to build lol

[twin terrace]

so game encourages alts then

[pastel oar]

yes

[red lichen]

can you freely swap between skin variants, or are they considered completely different skins? specifically in the case of the northern lawmaker, having a white and a red variant.

[twin terrace]

is it true that getting to 50 takes 8-10 hours?

[deft owl]

little longer, if you rush everything and know what you are doing

[pastel oar]

fastest lvler took 9h 20 ish, average newb will take 12h at least

[maiden locust]

i saw a gunslinger speed run at 8.5 hours

[pastel oar]

once you pick a variant you can't change it, however all new skins are dyeable, doubt the lawmaker will be tho

[twin terrace]

does deathblade have smooth leveling?

[pastel oar]

no clue

[red lichen]

alright, thank you

[maiden locust]

lower than average

[edgy condor]

anyone has more info/guide on 1st awakening ?

[olive cairn]

Damn it wont let me use my pvp preset in the training area

guess I have to completely remake it again in here

[twin terrace]

so if my main focus is pvp i dont have to put endless hours into pve?

[sly moss]

you only need to get to lv 26 if pvp is your main focus

[pastel oar]

depends, arena pvp you dont even need max lvl, GvG however heavy PvE

[somber atlas]

which of those is more "important"?

[twin terrace]

in terms of what?

[pastel oar]

it's as important as you want it to be lol

arena is equalised you dont need gear at all, GvG pvp is heavily gear dependant and it's only once a week with your guild

[somber atlas]

sorry i worded that shit, in general which one do pvp players care about more ig

[twin terrace]

arena

[sly moss]

arena

[edgy condor]

@pastel oar you use your gear for gvg's ? (also is it 12v12 or )

[pastel oar]

yeah gear matters in GvG, some islands are 16v16

[edgy condor]

hyped for gvg, hope guildies dont slack kek

[pastel oar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A8tpK51uhY

soon they are adding realm vs realm

[edgy condor]

NO FUCKING WAY

[pastel oar]

also heavily gear dependant afaik

[sly moss]

na east vs na west

[edgy condor]

wait so realm vs realm is basically server vs server

?

[pastel oar]

think so, not region vs region

[clever thicket]

Does the size of a guild makes a difference for it or would a small 10 person guild provide the same benefits of a giant one (not on the social/grouping aspect, more about guild buffs and abilities)

[edgy condor]

ohhh gives me GW2 wibes, that's hype

[sly depot]

is reaper good for pve

[pastel oar]

it's not available on NA launch

[summer roost]

Does anyone know if the founders packs will be available after release?

[clever thicket]

I think they stop being sold on the 11th

[red lichen]

^

[summer roost]

Is it confirmed?

[clever thicket]

yep

[full breach]

Hello! Can you make characters on multiple servers or are you bound to a single one once you create your first?

[red lichen]

you can freely switch servers on each region. different character lists on each.

[olive cairn]

you can make diff chars on every server if u want

[pastel oar]

but progress is not shared across servers

[olive cairn]

^

[olive cairn]

also bro pvp is kinda hard LOL

[clever thicket]

So apparently even if I want to play support I should level a dps first?

[summer roost]

Also I know Roxx said something about it but I was abit confused. Does the first character I create auto redeem the pack or do I need to manually receive it?

[olive cairn]

I think the real problem is I actually dont know what any of the classes are capable of doing to me

[clever thicket]

90% sure that you need to actively redeem it

[stray saddle]

does anyone remember what the char premade filenames looked like?

[olive cairn]

you can level a support first, makes no difference and you will get parties easily

[full breach]

But from what I've read in the announcements server, your founders pack is bound to the first server you make a character on, correct?

[deft owl]

yes

[pastel oar]

threres no should or shouldnt, lvling is easy for every class, you might take 1h longer with support? not significant

[olive cairn]

founders is bound on whatever character you open it on yes.

[clever thicket]

is there a way to make Bard skills silent : 😄

[pastel oar]

they save here if this is what youre asking, for RU

[full breach]

Ok, thanks!

[stray saddle]

ah tx. yea i def didnt back that folder up lol

[pastel oar]

no xd, sound effect off only

[pastel oar]

it is defo more about knowing what other classes do, many hours of practice

[clever thicket]

kill me

[sick sedge]

any game that has "easy" PvP you're probably playing rock paper scissors of some kind or beating up children

[sick sedge]

if you can't handle the warmup noises stay out of the orchestra

[clever thicket]

lol

[olive cairn]

yeah i'm gonna get shit on in NA so I'm sticking to normals for a good month + at least

one of the draw backs of having a gf, cant go as hard in games anymore unless she plays them too LOL

[pastel oar]

having a GF while playing LA, casual

[sick sedge]

have you considered making worse life choices to play more?

[earnest star]

PVP is deffo gonna take some time getting used to cause the camera angle for the opposite sides are different right?

[sick sedge]

they're rotated 90* from each other

[earnest star]

ya'

[sick sedge]

once you understand that FoV is pretty straightforward

[earnest star]

was it done to add like a strategic sense?

[sick sedge]

if you're left/right and theyr'e on the edge of your screen they can't see you

[rugged musk]

How many more hours til server launch for founder players?

[sick sedge]

if they're above/below you they have an easier time seeing you

[edgy condor]

36

[honest perch]

i main striker and i wanna buy the founders but that skin is a problem except for the weapon

[long prawn]

It was done like that because of the isometric view, since it cant be changed

[maiden locust]

is loot individualized in this game? sorry new here looking into the game thanks (I cant tell if this guy in the video im watching is rolling on gear or not)

in a raid i think this guy is doing

[pastel oar]

loot is personal, however in main raids, at the end there is extra loot you can roll for

[maiden locust]

ok cool

thanks

[round surge]

hey I just wanted some advice , I mainly like support classes in any game and this is my first time lost ark , are support classes important in both pve and pvp I mean are they always neeeded ot ?

[pastel oar]

supports do indeed have the easiest time finding parties, while not needed for all content, they make content much much easier so everyone wants em always @round surge

[clever thicket]

[sly depot]

is reaper good for pve

[olive cairn]

yes but we dont have the class yet

[sly depot]

thanks, wasnt askign for the region though

[olive cairn]

you asked this question twice btw.

[sly depot]

no one answered the first time

[olive cairn]

okay just letting you know

[maiden locust]

every class is balanced to be able to do pve, is it the very best? probably not

[sly depot]

can you say where is stands compared to other classes?

[olive cairn]

If u master ur class you will be better than 90% of players and i think that's good enough tbh

[full breach]

Is there going to be any progress reset? Saw some ppl talking about something along these lines

[olive cairn]

what do you mean?

You have to be more specific, this can mean all sorts of things

[pastel oar]

not at all, we are starting fresh, its an mmo

[maiden locust]

I didnt research her much, since i wasnt interested in playing so cant really rank her

[olive cairn]

if you're talking about a server wipe or something, no that's not happening unless amazon somehow loses all our account info.

[sly depot]

thats fine, thank you though

[full breach]

Yes, thats what i was refering tom thx :)

[olive cairn]

np, hope u find a good server, i know EU players have it rough because of the various languages

and not all EU players get along but yea

[hardy fable]

So the NA Beta that just happened back in november is safe?

[olive cairn]

what does this even mean?

[maiden locust]

its fresh start

[hardy fable]

Sorry, i am tired and typed it wrong. lol

[sly depot]

saved* probably

[hardy fable]

Do i lose the cosmetics too? ._.

[olive cairn]

yeah, servers are wiped after the beta, this is everyone starting from 0

whatever you spent is auto refunded if you paid any real money

[maiden locust]

fresh start, start from 0 with nothing

[olive cairn]

idk the specifics with that

[hardy fable]

That's so stupid, lol

[summer roost]

Hey, how do we know it’s Virginia/Oregon? What about Ohio/California?

[olive cairn]

all i know is that if you paid any real money, its auto refunded

[maiden locust]

its really smart thing to do

[hardy fable]

I wouldnt mind losing the levels, but the cosmetics...

[olive cairn]

wdym? we're getting a completely different version of the game, with improvements, from scratch. That's how normal releases of games work

[ember nymph]

Hi all, been poking around the pins looking for a guide but, does anyone know a good guide for pirate coins? seems like they're pretty important to get some songs required for quests early on

[minor perch]

Is demonic a back attack class

[autumn frost]

beta

[olive cairn]

again, if you PAID for it with real $, you're gonna have a refund, if not, then you know where to go to obtain said cosmetics

[maiden locust]

i think her demon build can attack any angle

[olive cairn]

the benefit of playing in a Beta is that you know your progression route better than other players and can get ahead of those players.

[hardy fable]

Yeah, i did the founding pack

[pastel oar]

islands provide very good pirate coins https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/category/island change island tokens to rewards type in pirate coints

[olive cairn]

then you still have those cosmetics.

[hardy fable]

I see

[ember nymph]

yeah I noticed they have a link to pirate coins under resources but its greyed out and marked as WIP

[olive cairn]

just redeem your founders pack on the character you want by opening it via the in-game mailbox

[olive cairn]

check Saintone's guide or search on YT 'lost ark pirate coin guide'

[hardy fable]

Ohh okay i see

[maiden locust]

also it will be tied to the first server you choose

[olive cairn]

^first character you open it on yes

[hardy fable]

Sorry, I've never played any betas for games like this before, so its new to me.

[ember nymph]

yeah I'm on youtube, seems to be covered a little in wilky's resource guide but he doesn't get too into it and its kind of old

[olive cairn]

Check Saintone's currency video

[ember nymph]

didn't see it in saintones guide, maybe just missed it

[olive cairn]

oh wait they doubled down on that weird

I thought its safe as long as you dont claim it in your mail

interesting

[ember nymph]

not sure where that is, I search currency on all uplaods on his channel, no results

[maiden locust]

yea, i said it, cuz i know some people wanted to create a character on multiple servers in case its locked out

[ember nymph]

seems like there's no good guide for pirate coins specifically out there right now

[olive cairn]

He has the video unlisted I think @ember nymph but he made a video talking about pirate coins and where you use em

[ember nymph]

I see

[pastel oar]

islands are your best bet, otherwise co op navigation sea mission

[olive cairn]

I think it will release on his channel on either monday or tuesday

[ember nymph]

cool

[pure night]

so, whats powerpass?

[olive cairn]

@ember nymph you can check this sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-AmXS7g3W7RZkKZMYnyOgwwIV3Eu1Qexu3jdfqHDglE/edit#gid=1101613710

[misty kestrel]

instant character boost

[olive cairn]

i still have it open in my tabs LOL

so many good spreadsheets made by community members already

[ember nymph]

ty

[olive cairn]

np I saw a small section on how much coins you need for certain mats, which is the only info i really care about

[ember nymph]

saw the pirate coin filter on maxroll, that helps a lot

[olive cairn]

nothing in particular about how to min-max your pirate coin gain but I dont have the time to really worry about pirate coin income so I'm just gonna focus on my dailies, unas tasks, completable islands and adventure islands + weeklies

[ember nymph]

yeah my concern is quests that require songs that require coins, wasn't sure what their sources are

[brisk plume]

there is only one song

[olive cairn]

yeahh, I'll be a bit behind since I cant min-max pirate coin again but whenever I get stuck I'll search up content on it, and by that point I think we'll have some more videos for it as well

[ember nymph]

yeah this ties into "completable islands" but I'm of the same mind as you

[brisk plume]

and it costs 17000 pirate coins, eazy to gather by simply unloking 1-2 una dailys

[maiden locust]

can someone give me that poll where people voted on their fav classes i wanna see it :)

https://strawpoll.com/rs7dduj6u/r

your the best ty ty

[clever cipher]

I feel like I’m getting conflicting info wherever I look. Is it confirmed whether or not you can create a custom group for raids and dungeons cross-server, within the same region?

[olive cairn]

^you can create a group within the same region with a text chat

its called 'makoko talk'

it basically works like linkshells in FFXIV

[pastel oar]

you can indeed make a custom group for raids cross server

[olive cairn]

where you can talk to players on Regulus if ur playing on Azena

and then you just make a raid group with them and send them invites via the party finder I think

[maiden locust]

!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

[tribal oyster]

Where is this conflicting info you saw

[maiden locust]

anything thats cross server in the above list you can play with people from another server

[clever cipher]

I was seeing posts stating that it was for matchmaking, which made it sound like it was only for group finder

[olive cairn]

yeah no, what u see presented by the Bot is how it works

[clever cipher]

Thank you very much

[tribal oyster]

The only wierd thing is no pvp parties cross server, hopefully they fix that at some point

[clever cipher]

I think the reason I was confused is Bc it says pvp arenas are cross server, but unranked premades are not

[twin terrace]

how many hours do you think it would take a week to stay on pace with the content coming out?

[sly depot]

What is the max achievable gear score?

[maiden locust]

1600 is the soft cap i believe

[pastel oar]

in our version, it will be 1415 i believe, untill they add content

[sly depot]

okok

[maiden locust]

there are people with 1620 on KR

[pastel oar]

it's a tough question cos we don't know if our prog will be accelerated, dailies take like 40 min when youre experienced, depends if we will need alts, and there is also weeklies, which may take a couple hours

[sly depot]

feels like half the time will be spent doing the chores zz

[twin terrace]

thats mmo's lol

[pastel oar]

there is plenty of other content besides dailies

[twin terrace]

ic. ty

[pastel oar]

it;s up to you if you like and engage with it

[maiden locust]

whats the best class to play for an old boomer gamer like me? not as fast as I used to be boys

just pvp forehead :P but naw really the biggest thing for keeping up will be "optimizing" what is important to you and your goals, cause for example you could be doing your cube runs but if you don't need card XP it's something you can easily skip out on and not worry about ((in reality once your in maintence mode it's about 30 - 1 hr per character))

[pastel oar]

whatever class looks fun

[maiden locust]

if you want something that's uber slow and can take a major beating i'd recommend blue GL simple takes lots of punishment and very good :p

blue GL

[zenith parrot]

So I bought gold pack on steam, I requested a refund cause I want plat. Should I just buy the plat pack now? Refund might not come in time. What happens if I bought the plat and gold pack?

[maiden locust]

Gunlancer

what about destroyer big dude

[maiden locust]

not out in NA/EU ((destroyer))

[maiden locust]

you still have 2 days for refund to come in

and it shouldnt take more than 24h, at least thats my experience

[zenith parrot]

Can I buy the founders pack on Tuesday?

[ember nymph]

yes

[zenith parrot]

And still play??

[maiden locust]

can buy until 11th release

[ember nymph]

yes

[zenith parrot]

Thanks

[maiden locust]

machinist looks dope

[maiden locust]

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

[edgy condor]

so i heard you can buy lvl50 boosts from shop, when do they "unlock" and how much are they ?

[polar hearth]

How many character slots are available without a founders pack on launch?

[summer gyro]

they arent at launch, and no ETA on them afaik

[summer gyro]

6 i believe

[edgy condor]

good, hope they dont come soon

[maiden locust]

you cant buy, and you unlock it after lvl50 and some quests on first character and after that you need ingame currency

[polar hearth]

Interesting alright thank you very much.

[edgy condor]

ohhh thats way better

i thought people just might stack alts with $$$

[summer gyro]

you can earn some ingame according to roxx in a recent twitch stream, no further details tho

as well as knowledge transfer, like virtus mentioned

[maiden locust]

not the case, maybe in like 1-2 years from now

[edgy condor]

cool cool, so i guess leveling alts is still the way to go

[maiden locust]

isnt that the same thing? or did they mention 2 things in the post?

[vapid prism]

if my friend and I are on different servers can we still do raids/dungeons together?

[summer gyro]

no there is a difference. knowledge transfer does not give gear, power pass (thats the usually paid one) gives gear

[pastel oar]

yes you can make a party and he can join through lfg

[maiden locust]

but then i assume they will release a battle pass of some sort where this boost is a free ticket that you earn by playing?

[misty tree]

Knowledge transfer gives gear

[edgy condor]

also i have a question, what are most people going for/most efficient, rush 50-do awakenings/shuhire dalies etc etc. than start alt, or just rush 50 do chaos, guardian, epona on 1st character than go for alt insta

[summer gyro]

unknown about the battle pass. sounds like earning power pass is available at launch so we will see

[maiden locust]

yes, but usually in every other game items like this are tied to battle pass

[summer gyro]

this explains it better than i could

[vapid prism]

okay thank you!

[undone imp]

Hello, I'm currently playing KR server. I strongly recommend shadowhunter

[maiden locust]

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

[summer gyro]

perhaps, they just didnt say

[rugged musk]

if i vpn using exitlag will my discord also change to us

[pastel oar]

really depends on your goals, if youre new to the game just get 50 and enjoy the game, dont sweat and rush gearing

[hybrid zephyr]

Are any of the founder packs worth it?

[summer gyro]

plat/gold/bronze are worth depending on what you want

[misty tree]

Yea. He means that a power pass can bring you all the way to tier 3. But with knowledge transfer you need to upgrade your tier 1 gear to + 15 than knowledge transfer to tier 2 & than upgrade gear to +15

[vale coral]

are there many channels in a server? or are we expecting to see literally hundreds of players at a time?

[pastel oar]

subjective, gold and plat have the highest value based on what they give

[pastel oar]

255 channel per zone, 50 players? per channel?

[maiden locust]

channels are created automatically when previous is filled

[hybrid zephyr]

I like just found out about this game and I’m really interested but idk if I’ll be super committed to it to buy gold. Was thinking maybe silver I just don’t know how good the rewards actually are lol

[undone imp]

true, afaik in KR, maximum 255 channels and 50 players in each

[vale coral]

oh thank god- didn't want to fight 100 sorceresses over 1 mob xD

[pastel oar]

nothing is mandatory, mostly vanity and cash shop currency, if you want to play early just buy silver

[summer gyro]

or even bronze, if all you care about is the head start

[hybrid zephyr]

I don’t even really care about a head start I just wanna secure a good name

[pastel oar]

well you will need a headstart to claim that lol

[summer gyro]

then bronze is the way to go

[hybrid zephyr]

Exactly lol

[maiden locust]

oooh i like it

[crisp birch]

Hi, cant figure how to get class engraving books after hitting 50 - i can get 4 uncommon from 6-9 tower levels, but no idea where to search for more - not talking about AH or random drops, just guaranteed ones. Are they on islands or sth?

[pastel oar]

islands :), https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/category/island

you can filter by rewards

[crisp birch]

TYVM

[fallow cedar]

When can i predownload the game?

[pastel oar]

in 11h

[steep cape]

where is Destroyer

[pastel oar]

not here

[steep cape]

the class

[pastel oar]

not included in our launch

[steep cape]

why

[digital briar]

Hey there! Got a couple of friends in PH that wanted to play but the game seems region locked on Steam. Any filipino fellow around here knows a way out of this? One of em tried a vpn with no success apparently wonder if he did it correctly but maybe there's more to it. Any help appreciated

[deft owl]

vpn is bannable, there isnt really a way around it, also the game isnt even available for download rn

[rigid jetty]

is the NA release on the same balance patch as korea or how does that work?

[digital briar]

i think he tried just basically creating a steam account on a nearby region, and since i saw there was some PH guildies in this discord too i was wondering if something was alr known about that lol

[pastel oar]

ask smilegate

[grave hull]

can a class change to another subclass? i.e. sorceress to bard?

[summer gyro]

i dont think so

[grave hull]

ah so if i want both have to create 2 mages

[pastel oar]

yes

[red lichen]

can you save character presets from ru and put them in the na game folder? do we know that?

[shut pasture]

No, not at all.

[summer gyro]

pins of #picture-gallery i believe

[shut pasture]

I don't think we have 100% confirmation on this quite yet, I think maybe.

[red lichen]

gotcha, thank you

[summer gyro]

we do know it has the new bard patch and madness zerker patch. saintone caught the bard thing in that mage showcase video by playlostark

[delicate dawn]

in regards to the character base presets being changed for our version, are the base faces the same as the RUS/KR client? because that's the important part

[summer gyro]

you can make all the same faces, but i think because the presets are different its like a different way to get there?

[maiden locust]

i want to tank. gunlancer sounds good?

[summer gyro]

gunlancer isnt a tank, tho he is tanky

[deft owl]

tanks dont exist

[maiden locust]

whats closest

[rugged musk]

i wanna make a us steam account but i cannot becuase Please disconnect from VPNs or proxies and try again.

[deft owl]

nothing, you have support and dps but everyone does dps

[deft owl]

cant play then

[maiden locust]

what class can taunt, stun, and pull mobs off ppl

[deft owl]

again, tanks do not exist.

[summer gyro]

inside of raids, noone can taunt. there are some stuns, but its a team effort (more like staggering), and pulling mobs off of people isnt a thing in raids either

this game isnt a tank/healer/dps type of game, its more dps/support, and everyone is expected to follow the mechanics

[maiden locust]

gunlancer has a pull right?

[deft owl]

🤦‍♀️

[shut pasture]

This game does not have any aggro or threat related mechanics.

[maiden locust]

hook*

[summer gyro]

gunlancer is the class for you, just dont expect to tank like you do in WoW

[maiden locust]

ok ty

[summer gyro]

its more like "im a dps that can take some hits and provide some nice buffs"

[fervent rivet]

What’s the difference between avatars and skins ?

[undone lotus]

Trying to configure keybinds before the launch. Do we ever use auto run in end game content?

[summer gyro]

different terms for the same thing i believe

[shut pasture]

They are the same thing, they are just called Avatars specifically in this game

[summer gyro]

more of a convenience thing when running around in the overworld

[delicate dawn]

if i like healing in traditional mmos and plan to play bard, it's okay to make bard my first and main character right? a friend told me she'll just be a bit slower at killing stuff so it's fine but i just want to make sure (yes i know no healers)

[summer gyro]

yeah you can make her your main, it is just a bit slower to kill stuff solo

[delicate dawn]

great, thanks!

[fervent rivet]

Got it

[full breach]

I am torn between wardancer, striker, scrapper, soulfist and sharpshooter. Is any of these classes significantly better at group content than the others?

[summer gyro]

think they are all pretty similar. im similarly somewhat torn on some of those characters and i plan on playing them all and picking my main based on which one i like more while gearing up

[spiral thistle]

No dps is class is significantly better

[grave hull]

how many alts can you have? can you just make alts for each class to test each class at leveling and delete the ones you dont like

[spiral thistle]

Without any packs bought for extra slots you have 6, with Gold+Platinum 8. You can purchase character slots up 18 or if it's 24 or something

[full breach]

Seems like a solid strategy, thanks!

[rugged musk]

do u guys buy founder pack on steam or amazon?

[spiral thistle]

It's the same thing so doesn't matter. Steam is just simplicity

[grave hull]

steam for me

[rugged musk]

aite ty

[grave hull]

if you buy from amazon you just get a steam key so you'll be adding the game to steam anyway

[rugged musk]

anyone uses exitlag here

[frigid flume]

the first character we make receives the skin box from founders packs but we can trade this box off to any alt we make right?

[deft owl]

gets sent to mail or sth for the server you make the first character on

its server locked once you make a character

[molten crest]

Have we heard when we'll be able to pre-download the game?

Wondering which time I need to wake up

[summer gyro]

9am pst feb 7

[molten crest]

Awesome, thank you!

[sudden stream]

Really struggling between Gunslinger, Deathblade or Soulfist. Any suggestions? Would love some info regarding how they play and their pros/cons if anyone has any insight.

[whole knot]

Why not try them all!

[sudden stream]

I will eventually, just talking about for launch 😛

[muted garden]

most fun one ofc

coolest looking one

[maiden locust]

Gunslinger is really freaking hard so i'd recommend if your inexperienced alting it
Deathblade is pretty easy decent mobility and good burst damage and pretty sick looking kit, biggest downside tbh :P is it's a uber popular class so if your worried about being unique well you won't be
Soulfist is pretty sick but it's blue form while theoretically higher DPS is pretty freaking hard to play so most people opt for the other one, which becomes more of a spirit bomb spam situation, and if you miss that it's pretty rough, but they are super mobile, another not so easy class

So if you wanted my recommendation, i'd recommend maining Blade ((so you can get your toes wet on an easier class)) then going to Soul then GS ascending in difficulity but that's my take on it do what you will :P

[molten crest]

Thanks!

[cerulean hearth]

do i need to buy lost ark in order to pre download

[maiden locust]

nope

[rugged musk]

or only when i want to play the game then i use vpn

[grave hull]

this one

[deft owl]

you can quite possibly get banned for vpn, but if the people asking is any indication theres gonna be a lot of people using em

[maiden locust]

it is indeed against TOS but i highly doudt anything will be enforced

[sudden stream]

Thanks for the insight. Think I'll probably lean into GS knowing I'll need to practice the rotation. Blade seems a bit too popular I think.

[maiden locust]

sounds good it's a super fun class but boi is it not an easy one xD turns out 16 abilities instead of 8 makes for more complex classes who woulda thunk! :P

[rugged musk]

is there a pre install available already?

[sudden stream]

I've heard of VPNs being technically bannable but man, that's always seemed like a dumb thing to ban for considering people use VPNs for so many reasons.

[spiral thistle]

No

[summer gyro]

nope, 9 am pst feb 7

[maiden locust]

no won't be till feb 7th 2022 11:00 AM CST

[maiden locust]

as mentioned it is highly unlikely to be enforced but they have it there case they ever need to nuke someone ^.~

[sudden stream]

Yeah, unlikely. Never heard of anyone actually being banned but even to have it as a rule is just

[rugged musk]

oh so its about in 10 hours

[maiden locust]

it's against steam TOS which is why lost ark put it in their TOS to comply with that

[sudden stream]

Yeah, makes sense

[maiden locust]

Yup

it'll be right there :p

[rugged musk]

aite ty

[maiden locust]

mhm

[rugged musk]

time to suffer 200 ms

[serene kernel]

If we got banned for vpn let's report the korean streamers playing on lost ark Europe and NA, how do you think they'll play the game guys ? Ofc with vpn they aren't allowed otherwise

[rugged musk]

they gonna lose alot of players if they decide to ban

[maiden locust]

it's a "incase of emergency break glass" situation 100% it's in the TOS to be in the TOS :P

[raw atlas]

When in EST will the servers be up on the 8th

[serene kernel]

They won't tell you to use vpn cause they are not allowed to sag it also why do you think there is this system ? Cause they need to pay a lot of money to be able to launch the game in other countries tries officially and the license isn't cheap so ofc just use vpn, they'll be happy to get new players

think pins covers things ok but you can go to papunika and maxroll.gg sites for more in depth guides for stuff

[cedar wharf]

The pins, you can check Saintone and ZealsAmbitions on YouTube, there is tons of content but don’t get to hung up on theoretical knowledge

[hexed ingot]

Yeah I get you lol, basically just trying to get the stuff I should know going into it so I don't make any dumb choices and I'm not stumbling over myself with stuff

I try to be as prepared as possible in terms of knowledge for new games I intend to play a lot on release if they released somewhere else first

[hexed ingot]

I'll check these out too and start saving tabs on Google 🙂 Ty!

[gusty basin]

bumping this question I asked earlier BC I don't think it got answered; what level/how early in the game is guild creation and guild joining enabled?

[cedar wharf]

First town if you have the silver which you should from the founders box

[gusty basin]

awesome thank you

[maiden locust]

Lost Ark comes out for me Feb 11th, any tips or videos i should watch to get me started? i'm so excited! dm me c:

[deft owl]

no

[sudden stream]

No

[deft owl]

see like hte above 6 or so messages from yours

[worldly flame]

hey guys, na east and west share the same AH right?

[deft owl]

no

[sudden stream]

no

[worldly flame]

kk thx

[vast copper]

i wish

[hexed ingot]

Oh yeah thought I should ask, could you please explain what you mainly do on Papunika and on maxroll.gg?

So I know the uses 🙂

[deft owl]

theres guides for like raids, collectables, class builds etc

[sudden stream]

I just wanted to confirm something. Assuming there's going to be a login queue, once you're through it you can create multiple characters without needing to rejoin the queue, right?

[hexed ingot]

Maxroll is primarily builds/raids info it seems right? I'm assuming papunika is basically the player encyclopedia

[deft owl]

yes

[sudden stream]

Nice

Planning to do all that asap

[deft owl]

maxroll has an encyclopedia they're working(as far as collectables anyway) on as well but yes to the latter

[hexed ingot]

Woah, these websites are awesome lmao, they're so well fleshed out like the ones for Path of Exile are

[deft owl]

games been released in 2 or 3 other regions + beta so we've had a lot of this info for a while so they've had time to gather info at any rate

[hexed ingot]

Yeah, its been out since like 2014 right?

[deft owl]

uhhh 2018 i think

[hexed ingot]

Oh thought it was older lol, in the main release

Oh, December 2019

[maiden locust]

yes you can mix and match parts

[worldly flame]

are we able to transfer gears to alts?

like my main gunslinger to my alt slinger

[brisk plume]

only shareable upgrade materials and gems

gear progression is per char

[worldly flame]

ahh kk thank you.

[brisk plume]

there is a reason to not progress alts too far or too fast

[worldly flame]

i think im planning on making 6 slinger xd

[brisk plume]

so u can keep getting gold from lower content

[maiden locust]

24 Gunslingers it is

[brisk plume]

untill we get 2ond legion commander

there is no real urgency to choose main

if you plan correctly you can main more than one char

[worldly flame]

damn thats good to know cause i want to main blaster too

[brisk plume]

we will have enaugh time

to stock up on materials

nothing to worry really

just don't try to push all alts to max GS and it will be smooth sailings

[maiden locust]

for US east the reset 13 hours after launch is that a daily reset or a weekly reset?

[brisk plume]

dailys

[worldly flame]

whats gs do u recommmend getting the alts to?

[brisk plume]

in EU we will be chill cause there is no way in hell we make it before reset 😛

1320? or what's the first 1-2 guardian raid entry

[worldly flame]

oo ok

[brisk plume]

just to do the daily clears

[deft owl]

did you mean i320 or i1320 lmao

[brisk plume]

and you save up materials in Roster bank

[deft owl]

coz you said 1320

[cedar wharf]

Both numbers are fucked

[brisk plume]

1302 is the entry blue set of T3

[deft owl]

ah

[brisk plume]

aka the natural progression is to upgrade it to +6 and stop upgrading alts

then when we get more raids ect

u go up a bit

[paper aurora]

Guys, is it possible to play the game slowly, explore everything, do side quests etc without be behind forever compared to players that rush the game ?

[brisk plume]

yes ofc

[maiden locust]

yea, at some point players hit a wall, where as u can keep progressing

[brisk plume]

i am gonna take my sweet time first time playing can't wait 🙂

[cedar wharf]

Depends how much time there is before we get Argos tbh

[paper aurora]

Because all these guides on YouTube speaking about how to not waste Time etc etc makes me little bit anxious 🤣

[frail verge]

till when can you get a Founders Pack?

[maiden locust]

there will always be players in the same boat

[cedar wharf]

11th around launch time

[paper aurora]

One jour before full launch Time

[brisk plume]

until 11th if i recall

[paper aurora]

One hour*

[brisk plume]

if you love collecting things

what is offered is those packs won't be available down the line

I got Plat because of that alone 🙂

[vague token]

Anybody know if it will cost gold to upgrade T1 or T2 gear?

[maiden locust]

you cant play slowly and also catchup to hardcore players, this goes for every game

[brisk plume]

nop silver till +15

but then you swap to the next gear

[worldly flame]

woah only silver? cool

[spiral thistle]

Yes because eventually vanguard players have no new content and then everyone still progressing moves closer

[brisk plume]

even if it will cost gold it will be minimal

[spiral thistle]

If you don't know why you saying so? It costs gold both in T1 and T2

[cedar wharf]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/852619895119020033/935276069966184508/unknown.png

T1 Chart don’t have a T2 one

[brisk plume]

wow 10g per attempt

i spread lies lul

[cedar wharf]

The cost doesn’t matter the income does

Also T2 cost is higher

[thin flax]

Anyone here know the korean letter/words for infighter/scrapper in conjecture with 상시공유 ?
Trying to find preset on inven

[spiral thistle]

You might be unlucky and 100% on +15 that still is like 60g then. And consider it's each piece too. It adds up.

[vivid temple]

i might be mistaken but, you can only do 3 daily unas on a character, and 9 a day across all characters?

[cedar wharf]

Thank you!

[worldly flame]

i knew i saw that chart in saints guide lol

[deft owl]

second part is wrong

[cedar wharf]

Im on mobile so I didn’t have it handy 🙂

[marble geyser]

does anyone know if its confirmed that NA will have RU's version of quest exp? where you don't need to do any side quests to hit 50?

[vivid temple]

what’s the correct answer?

[marble geyser]

feb 7th 9AM PST

[thin flax]

in 9h 22minute

[deft owl]

not locked to 9 per alt, i dont believe it has a limit other than 3 per day per char

[vivid temple]

oh

so as many as i want?

[worldly flame]

according to saints guide

[marble geyser]

yeah i saw stuff like that, but did Roxx or anyone else confirm that it's the case for NA?

or was this in beta already

[spiral thistle]

It's not confirmed but leaks suggests it and it's highly likely

[marble geyser]

gotcha, would u know how to check? ie what level should i be in arthetine to be able to skip all side quests?

[spiral thistle]

Press M, if map is colorful and not brown and washed out we got new leveling

[marble geyser]

icic, i'll keep an eye out thanks

[modern jasper]

is there a maximum amount of quests you can take at once?

[languid pond]

unsure if someone replied to you or not but French, German and Spanish accented letters like ü ö ä are allowed

[spiral thistle]

Do you have a source for this?

[languid pond]

yeah moment

[languid pond]

https://forums.playlostark.com/t/cyrillic-chars-in-name-allowed/35919/6?u=silverine if I understood correctly from Roxx

[spiral thistle]

Ah, only those native ones. Too bad.

[languid pond]

ye

[spiral thistle]

Thanks for grabbing it anyway. Would have been cool if my languages characters was allowed too but w/e

[languid pond]

unsure if ß will be allowed

[languid pond]

Well that is why I said those languages xD

[delicate dawn]

should i have a bard and a paladin or just one if i want to support

[spiral thistle]

Yeah but ö and ä isn't in any of those afaik ^^

[languid pond]

it is in German XD ö ä ü é à è are all German special characters aka pretty sure accented letters

[spiral thistle]

Ah wow it's in Germans, cool

[languid pond]

well the latter 3 in am not sure as I am using a Swiss German Keyboard but I am sure about the first 3. German uses three letter-diacritic combinations (Ä/ä, Ö/ö, Ü/ü)

though I am sure the other 3 are in French xD

[languid pond]

What is your mother language? if I may ask xD

[spiral thistle]

Swedish

[languid pond]

ah nice but yeah we do have a selection of accented letters if I understood corrected

[spiral thistle]

At least that'll help with naming so it's a good find. If your name is taken try an accented letter instead

[languid pond]

ye

[maiden locust]

A-OK ?

[languid pond]

means no problem xD A-OK usually just Ok

[stiff mural]

can you create a character preset on RU that will work on NA upon release ?

[maiden locust]

never heard of A-OK and seems to only create confusion, like its okay but in a certain way

[buoyant kraken]

What is "server box" as in #announcements message

[languid pond]

yeah its very informal but w/e xD

[fast iron]

this is the most common question and I do apologies for repeating the question, I was wondering if the Founders packs stack? I just bought the platnium pack and was wondering if i bought silver and gold

[maiden locust]

you can stack

[spiral thistle]

Most likely it's the box where your items from cash shop end up at before you decide which character to take them out on.

[buoyant kraken]

oooh, thats what they meant, i was trying to figure out if servers were grouped in some kind "box" something .... yea this makes more sense ... ugh, its hard to puzzle out some aanouncements if you never played the game
