https://papunika.com/life-skill/ is Archeology Excavating?

[umbral hazel]

Check your steam account region? maybe something is wonky and ask for help from support?

[maiden locust]

here is a great video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep1wZal0RKc highly recommend giving it a watch

[umbral hazel]

Hey I just want early gold to abuse the early cheap crystal exchange

[kindred token]

Yes

[maiden locust]

roger doger

[edgy granite]

click on your name in steam and click on update store country

[unique cape]

aighttt! thanks alot

[edgy granite]

is it showing Canada for you?

sorry name -> account details -> update store location

[maiden locust]

mood i plan on pvping all the time i am only going to power grind REALLY freaking hard do a week 1 T3, then just stabalize and just basically grind the freebie gold while i pvp my brains out like a spaz

[umbral hazel]

oh I was watching this and fell asleep a few day ago and forgot bout it lol

[short glacier]

how needed are support characters? im stuck between gunlancer and paladin since we wont have a support with friends im playing with
otherwise would be 100% gunlancer

[maiden locust]

kek

[maiden locust]

what content are you bois doin

[hardy jungle]

Will the BR mode be an actual BR mode or just a side mini project

[short glacier]

probably a bit of everything we're all new but stopped keeping up with it a while ago cause originally they didnt wanna let oce play

[maiden locust]

sooooo for PvP it's nice but it's not a make or break kinda situation, for PvE pretty similar though as you go up in difficulity the desire/requirements for a support become stronger and stronger ((that's my take on it i'm not much of a PvEr though tbh))

[umbral hazel]

Harder the raid the more support is needed from what I seen on videos

[undone imp]

for 8-man raid = 2 supports required / for 4-man raid = 1 support required (in legion raids, koku-saton only)

[short glacier]

so far its looking like we're gonna have a gunslinger,deathblade,zerker then originally i was gonna go gunlancer but im considering paladin because read a few places supports almost always needed later on

[carmine thistle]

we will be able to spam chaos dungeon? or once the energy is used you can't enter it anymore?

[mental tapir]

anyone know if i still have time to cancel my founders pack to buy a different one?

[undone imp]

and the other raids such as guardian raids, it might not need supporter

[umbral hazel]

oh since you here, what do you mean with stronghold gonna be world-wide?

[umbral hazel]

yes, for steam

[maiden locust]

that would be accurate, if that's the case yeah pally is a great choice

[mental tapir]

oki ty gonna refund rn

[umbral hazel]

aslong as its a pre-purchase you can always refund if you live in EU

no idea how it is outside of EU

[light zealot]

Does anyone know if the game files are only going to show up after the 5pm GMT release or a little before?

[short glacier]

thanks i just wanted to confirm think ill run a paladin as main character/first character then

[summer raven]

For levelling can we just do all main quest to get to 50 now or do we still gotta do a couple side quests

[mental tapir]

on NA o_o

[undone imp]

LoA on last winter, Gold River mentioned that the stronghold will be world-wide, not stick to each server. They're working on it. so one of your friends in other server may be able to visit your stronghold in the near future.

[umbral hazel]

oh shit, thats kinda cool.

[carmine thistle]

maybe they'll make a small update earlier for game files to appear

[light zealot]

Alright I was just wondering cause the folder to put character presets in doesn't exist yet

[maiden locust]

Sounds great good luck to you n your bois

[carmine thistle]

i've heard they had the same system in Elyon and there wasn't any problem.

[short glacier]

only other thing im not sure on but does paladin have passive buffs as well as active? when i tried looking it up was quite a bit confusing

[maiden locust]

You can do msq alllll the way

[waxen portal]

will the presets be the same as ru?

[short glacier]

also thanks

[umbral hazel]

You can create that folder manually, since it only get created when you start the game/save a file most likely

[dusk wadi]

how do EU players get Twitch drops?

[umbral hazel]

No, some face preset got changed

[narrow hare]

Hey. I searched the Discord to figure out what the power pass is (effectively a 1-50 boost). But I couldn't find an answer about whether it comes with anything else. Does the power pass also grant you new gear for the boosted character?

[light zealot]

I don't think I can make it manually because it has to be inside of the lost ark folder etc which doesn't exist yet cause the lost ark folder is empty

[mossy iris]

Is this ur regular inventory or how do you access this?

[umbral hazel]

Like everyone else, twitch > settings > connections. Connect you steam account and watch stream and claim it after hitting X hours from twitch drop

[summer raven]

Thank you so much. Cus I remember in beta that I had to do a couple side quests before hitting Vern just to hit 50

[dusk wadi]

Any lost ark stream??

[umbral hazel]

Depend on which lost ark twitch drop event you talking bout

[dusk wadi]

the one where u get fox pet n stuff

[maiden locust]

https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/build-guides/support-paladin-raid-guide I'd recommend reading this :)

[umbral hazel]

if its the fox crown one, than only a few like sykkuno or crown stream
if you mean the race event, than any of the event racers

[brazen crag]

ones that have drops enabled, there was a list somewhere with all the streamers that will be participating

[short glacier]

thanks

[maiden locust]

Yuppers yeah it's not bad

[dusk wadi]

ohk.. cool

[rustic musk]

Hey what do the patch notes mean for a new player? There is just more content at release?

[maiden locust]

Welcome!

[vapid lake]

will i still be able to do Okay with only like 1 main + 2 alts.. I've seen poeple have like 6+ alts which is a bit too much for me

[dusk wadi]

btw what drops do the other race events give? any good ones?

[umbral hazel]

It says drop enabled on the stream if they have drop enabled. can also check twitch > drops > lost ark and see stream list

[modern mortar]

if we skip the cut scenes will we still get the power pass?

[gilded sparrow]

The Lost Ark Beta folder structure for me is Lost Ark Beta Playtest > EFGame > Customizing > customization files . Maybe try mirroring that file structure in the empty lost ark folder. I havent done this myself though so not sure if it works

[maiden locust]

Lil slower but you'll be absolutely fine :) more alts just means faster but people are always doing older content and progressing their 100 alts so you'll never really be behind

[umbral hazel]

https://dskbmzw3v9vmq.cloudfront.net/optimized/2X/9/978a1fbb625cd96f7ad639779facad5901c36387_2_690x390.png

[dusk wadi]

wow

[maiden locust]

Yup this was confirmed by roxx that you just need to hit 50 n beat msq

[dusk wadi]

so to clarify, will i get these drops even if i watch Crown/ Sykuno's streams?

[maiden locust]

Tbh nothin don't worry bout it

[umbral hazel]

no its two seperate twitch event

[mossy fulcrum]

i know alot of some people on west coast plan on playing east coast cause of larger population, but is there typically always a raid queue or is there a best time to be raiding?

[dusk wadi]

ohk.. time to open 2 tabs 😈

[maiden locust]

what is this knowledge transfer thing people talk about

[hollow inlet]

Is silene = mage on KR?

[maiden locust]

does it copy your ilevel etc on a new one?

[maiden locust]

More depends on what raids your doing

[umbral hazel]

pretty sure they arent on at the same time, and you can only get progress for one twitch drop

[vapid lake]

Even without work and family, I don't think I'll have tons of alts just for the sake of faster progression. I mean, it would feel like running a business rather than having fun which defeats the purpose of enjoyment

[dusk wadi]

which ones in ur opinion is better out of the 2 then

[waxen portal]

(FIGHTER)v

[mossy fulcrum]

mind explaining more?

[maiden locust]

Absolutely take your time have fun rushing is only for the try hards but don't worry bout being left behind

[maiden locust]

Some raids are easy to pug so they are always going some are really really hard so you normally run em in a static

[mossy fulcrum]

i'm just concerned cause i'm from west but my friends are going east but if i join a guild or something that's on east coast time that'd be harder for me

[river ivy]

Is there a list of streamers that I can watch for drops or can I watch every Lost Ark streamer?

[umbral hazel]

am gettning all, since you can get them all

[vapid lake]

got it, I still want to be able to stand on par with everyone else just like in FF14..just a little discouraged about info floating around regarding alts..thanks, man.

[umbral hazel]

its a month long race, and a week long crown headstart event

you have plenty of time to get time for both drops lol

[maiden locust]

Basically spend 600 gold wait 8 hours and you have a fresh lvl50 this is done at your estate

[umbral hazel]

only 4h for the fox pet so that one gonna be fast

[pine cove]

hey guys how significant is server choice?

[river ivy]

What do you mean?

[dusk wadi]

ohk.. when is that being streamed?

[open quartz]

If i dont spend my founder moneys on cosmetics, whats the best to spend my royal stuff on

[umbral hazel]

-6h30m +24h whatever time that is for you. start at the same time everyday for the rest of this week

[vapid lake]

I feel like money making farms will populate the game soon such as G2G, hope it won't ruin the game

[umbral hazel]

twitch drop

[sour shuttle]

does it matter what fighter i choose when going for lance master?

[maiden locust]

People are Uber try hards early most of these dweebs will hit the walls this game has and quickly find it's a marathon not a sprint you'll be fine the only reason to rush currently is to increase your gold income by about 1500 a week which is so meh and min maxing becomes less and less impactful with every reset

[umbral hazel]

!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

[river ivy]

Why 4 hours?

[open quartz]

What it says

[umbral hazel]

cause thats the requirement for the twitch drop?

[maiden locust]

Character slots my friend character slots more alts I'd more gold in yo pocket

[river ivy]

I didn't ask that tho?

[maiden locust]

Pretty neglable

[open quartz]

@maiden locust i hate alts but. Ill end up with one later

[river ivy]

I appreciate the help but that's not what I asked.

[open quartz]

What

@river ivy you asked why 4 hours and we said why

[river ivy]

???

[bright quiver]

is there any word of where asmongold is going? so i can avoid it at all costs

[umbral hazel]

Did you confuse my conversation with someone else? cause you making no sense

[pine cove]

yeah i guess so

[river ivy]

I asked which Streamer to watch for Drops.

[maiden locust]

Fair enough :) be aware that's gunna mean alot of downtime pvp orrrrrrr infinite chaos grinds

[open quartz]

Just wait for tomorrow and check who is streaming with drops on

@maiden locust orr side content

[echo void]

On your first character. If just rushing to level 50. Is it worth doing purple and chain quests?

[umbral hazel]

https://lostarkive.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/teamarkesia.jpg
https://lostarkive.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/teamelgasia.jpg
https://lostarkive.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/teampetrania.jpg

[open quartz]

@maiden locust im not gonna grind to endgame ima vibe to the end

[spiral thistle]

No, you can skip even chain and they will all be completed via Power Pass

[maiden locust]

Absolutely fucking not if your min maxing

[spiral thistle]

Purple aren't completed but you can go back for them

[maiden locust]

Hell ya!

[echo void]

Cool. Bout to pull an all nighter and try to get 2 alts to level 50 by the 11th

Is it worth playing on NAW? What's this about more people on NAE

[river ivy]

What about the Fox?

[umbral hazel]

you get a power level booster ticket after you hit your first 50 btw

[maiden locust]

GL you can get to T3 by next week if your a real pyscho lol

[river ivy]

Thanks

[open quartz]

@river ivy THATS the 4 hour one we were talkin about

I think crown is the channel or whatever

[echo void]

I have no regard for my humanity, I might be able to do it.

[river ivy]

Yea but where do I get this?

He streamed in the middle of the night.

[maiden locust]

Yeah we expect more nae the naw but a decent amount

[umbral hazel]

so if you go to twitch > drops > campaign. it gonna tell you for each active twitch drop and which channel is eligiable for the drop for it. works with any twitch event

[maiden locust]

Do you have the path?

[sour shuttle]

does it matter what fighter i choose when going for lance master?

[open quartz]

also yes you can have it muted

[spiral thistle]

You don't choose if you are just making a character for name and waiting. That's the whole point.

[wild torrent]

Is skill collection hunting when hitting 50 usually a priority?

[river ivy]

I'm never on Twitch so thanks.

[maiden locust]

It's a waiting room priority aka done all your chores on all your alts and ya got nothin to do

[umbral hazel]

Just to be sure but, if you get 1 lvl 50 = 1 power boost ticket meaning I get another 50 which also give me a 2nd ticket meaning I get 3x 50 lvl char at the same time? then I can use each of these 50 for transfer knowledge to get 3 alt right? meaning I can get 6x 50 after hitting the first 50?

[maiden locust]

If you have 1800 gold yes

[spiral thistle]

Good luck getting 1800g to spend on that

[umbral hazel]

monkaS

(Gonna get 3600 gold sooner or later)

[outer trout]

is the unofficial server list post on reddit going to be the actual server name for the release?

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[maiden locust]

Yeah my math sleepy brain lol

[outer trout]

ty

[echo void]

Knowledge transfer requires you to get one character to 50 per use iirc

So for 6 alts you need to get 3 to 50 manually

[umbral hazel]

But power pass ticket make that eligible right?

[mighty wave]

im a noob, i read often in guide section season 2, do we start in season 2?

[river ivy]

So it's only this one dude you gotta watch that only streams in the middle of the night? What kinda bullshit is that actually?

[outer trout]

For NA West is there a way to tell which of the three server is going to be the most populated? I think it's between Mari and Valtan right?

[sharp vale]

More valtan by 1.7x ish

[river ivy]

Is there even another chance for that Twitch Drop?

[spiral thistle]

I don't know what you aren't getting since all information is clearly laid out on their website for the drops. Or if you mean that 1 pet that is from every single Lost Ark Creator

[tame knot]

I forgot where I got this tho

[echo void]

Does NA start tier 1 only?

[maiden locust]

No t3

[echo void]

We grinding

[river ivy]

I am talking about this.

[umbral hazel]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJiDGy77tOdV7ATqXj-bGXH7JmQo-sbjHrYJTcoI4Ow/edit?usp=sharing

[maiden locust]

As mentioned week one you can be farming t3 content but holy crap it's a grind from hell

[umbral hazel]

Well that one sadly is NA based so yea, they gonna stream same time across the week

[spiral thistle]

Yeah, literally any Lost Ark Creator has that as Twitch drop.

[umbral hazel]

that the crown only no? unless you mean the twitch race stream event which this one is not

[river ivy]

So where is the schedule so I can claim this?

[narrow hare]

Yo, for name reservation purposes - can you create a character, then proceed to create another one without proceeding into the game world with the first character? I have two names I want to try to get lol.

[spiral thistle]

Yes, after character creation is done you are put back into character select

[umbral hazel]

interesting, I wonder if that gonna be a seperate twitch drop since that say 5 hours and unlike crown one, crown already started the twitch drop

[maiden locust]

how can i play this game from SEA? cant find it on steam

[echo void]

So to get to higher tiers you need a specific gear score right?

Is this right?
Tier 1 – 0 To 600 Item Level.
Tier 2 – 600 To 1100 Item Level.
Tier 3 – 1100 To 1575 Item Level.

[narrow hare]

Thank you ❤️‍🔥

[tame knot]

Not available on SEA

[umbral hazel]

I wonder if you can get two fox pet then 🤔

[river ivy]

So he just got a headstart? Nobody mentioned that and that's why I am confused.

[maiden locust]

Can I pm you the min max steps lol sense your committed to it

[echo void]

Yessir

[maiden locust]

i know but is there any other way i download it and play?

[sharp vale]

Can u pm me too 👀

[spiral thistle]

Yeah they are separate in that case. I haven't seen the Crown one or news of it. Not that it matters as you don't really need 1 billion pets as rerolling stats for them would only cost you Blue Crystals so you wouldn't even be able to use all anyway

[umbral hazel]

Do note that crown channel isnt a single person channel but more like a community/company whatever the word is.

They had a interview with the game director today

[lucid grove]

what're the most efficient alts?

[light zealot]

They are the same drop the stream for the drop was today and you could've gotten like 30-40% progress on it so far

[umbral hazel]

no but you do get to pick two colors most likely in that case, which is pog in my books

[maiden locust]

Sure!

[spiral thistle]

The ones you enjoy playing. But in terms of cost, supports are cheap and any class that might share engravings with your main/other alts.

[umbral hazel]

Can I has it to :x?

[delicate trout]

question: since we play on steam, do we have to create player account on some other site first? i didnt find any place for it or comments.

[untold root]

do you also need a new steam acc for vpn?

[umbral hazel]

most likely no, probably juts gonna be using your steam account since steam is the only place to get the game (amazon send you a steam code)

[final inlet]

anybody familiar with lost ark *ingame events and how they usually go down???

[delicate trout]

ok, i think its steam only also but was just thinking since RU version required accounts on their site

[umbral hazel]

yes, since store and account is region lock, so unless you wanna "move country" on your account with a long CD to re-move and fuck up you acc it gonna be mamma mia (been awhile since I used VPN on steam though and that may have changed)

[spiral thistle]

Depends on event. Usually go to event island and do stuff.

[umbral hazel]

VPN is also against ToS I believe

so yea

[sinful epoch]

So the streams for points start at the same time as launch tomorrow yeah?
Will all the players on the list be streaming at once or we have to find who is?

[untold root]

any idea if u need vpn the whole time or just on acc creation?

[timber panther]

wondering if it's a bad thing to go to Azena but not doing PvP?

[maiden locust]

Absolutely

[untold root]

cuz most vpns have a bandwith limit

[umbral hazel]

most likely to start at the same time, but they are all invidually people

[sinful epoch]

Ah but theyll all be playing i am guessing

[spice atlas]

What time can you play lost ark today in England?

[lunar panther]

5pm ^

[spice atlas]

Excited

[lunar panther]

i also have a question, so with the fox pet drop, everyone who's part of the content creator thing will have drops enabled on release right?

[umbral hazel]

Think they getting sponsored for it so probably?

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[lunar panther]

awesome, glad they did that

[final inlet]

ah~ are there specific times that the events go down

i ask b/c i'm trying to calc in time zone differences 🙂

thanks for help

[lunar panther]

release release or early release?

[umbral hazel]

11th

[umbral hazel]

#lost-ark-help message

[lunar panther]

ah okay ty

[spiral thistle]

What is your time difference to the server you are going to play on?

[final inlet]

west planning for east

[spiral thistle]

You're fine

[umbral hazel]

Crown community gonna have a 4h ish stream tommorow if you wanna get it early and maybe (only maybe) get a 2nd one with the creator thingie

[safe jewel]

Is there any differences between the na west servers?

[whole knot]

How many character slots do we get

[umbral hazel]

6

[whole knot]

is that including the extra from packs?

[spiral thistle]

Default 6

[umbral hazel]

no, 7 if you bought gold/plat

[deft reef]

Do we get a key for the pet?

[spiral thistle]

Yes, different people on the servers. That's it.

[safe jewel]

I see ty

[umbral hazel]

you mean the twitch drop? no, need to link you steam account with twitch

[lunar panther]

yeah ill try, im in EU having to wake up quite early so 1am is very inconvenient for me, do you know if I just leave the stream page on and it just automatically starts the stream later on it will just count the hours while I sleep? I tried this last night but I don't think it worked as i didnt connect my account

[umbral hazel]

twitch never give out keys for twitch drops since its baked into the twitch system

[umbral hazel]

need to manually refresh to start the stream then you can go to bed and have it muted

[lunar panther]

aw shame

[umbral hazel]

works on phone too btw

[lapis thunder]

can you edit characters after creating them?

[umbral hazel]

maybe with phone, you dont need to refresh @lunar panther

but I wouldt know since I dont use phone all to often, but just from how the app seems to work

[lunar panther]

maybe yeah could try

[shell portal]

Guys, i saw some guild quests (dailys), so for more efficiency i have to join in guild?

[spiral thistle]

It has perks but you don't have to be in a guild.

[umbral hazel]

make you own guild!

[spice atlas]

I think you can also play the game solo, and just pug party up for dungeons and groups content when needed. So i read anyway

[spiral thistle]

Have to purchase ticket for it. We don't know exact price yet. ~$8

[whole knot]

Do the founders packs stack

can you buy all of them

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[whole knot]

is it a waste or?

[umbral hazel]

please dont buy bronze or silver if you getting gold+

[whole knot]

I have plat

should I get more?

[spiral thistle]

Gold+Plat is good value. I bought both. Depends on your definition of waste.

[umbral hazel]

if you want a second lawmaker skin. if not, buying pure crystal is gonna be netting you more crytstals if you dont count crystal aura and char slot

imo

[maiden locust]

Sorry for disturbing everyone but I'm confused as to how naming will work. A friend of mine said you pick one name which applies for all your characters. Is this true?

[timid plover]

hey soo, i havent started yet but am going to when it opens up

[patent laurel]

Is there free respec?

[spiral thistle]

False

[umbral hazel]

no, but naming is region wide

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[timid plover]

i already read the FAQ but im wondering if anyone has anyone tried sorceress and how the gameplay is

[spiral thistle]

Ask in Sorc channel

[timid plover]

well obviously someone has tried it but

[sharp vale]

Are there any instanced based dungeons which requires you to be in a party or queue for one on the road to leveling to 50?

[maiden locust]

Okay, thank you everyone :)

[spiral thistle]

No, can solo everything

[patent laurel]

nice thx. can try out my own build freely now

[umbral hazel]

Last time I asked this, people said no since you can solo everything

[brisk plume]

you can respec any given moment, game also provides 2 pre-sets, then you can even expand it if need be

[timid plover]

wait will all 4 mage classes be avail in NA on launch?

[sharp vale]

Even as a bard? @umbral hazel @spiral thistle

[timid plover]

the video i saw only showed sorc and bard

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[brisk plume]

just Barn and Sorc atm

Bard*

[maiden locust]

Do we know how many character slots we'll have?

[clever minnow]

are the platinum avatars account wide or just one character?

[whole knot]

If you redeem the plat chest on a character is the armor immediately going to that character?

[spice atlas]

Do all classes have the choice to pick male/female. Or are certain classes only male and certain ones only female?

[whole knot]

Or can you save your lawmaker skin

[clever minnow]

i think gender locked for now

[maiden locust]

@spice atlas Some are gender locked.

[spiral thistle]

6 default up to either 18 or 24

[red lichen]

is there any particular reason to rush into joining a guild? are there any important benefits early on, or am i safe to take my time?

[maiden locust]

@spiral thistle Thank you :)

[brisk plume]

account wide, but they become Class bound after you claim/unbox them. till then you can store them to your account storage

[spice atlas]

Damn. Wanted mage but my character name wouldn’t suit a female. Will have a re think

[spiral thistle]

Safe

[timber panther]

o

[clever minnow]

so you can only have one platinum skin for one character?

[red lichen]

thank you. i wasnt looking forward to jumping into some random guild just to be in one lol.

[brisk plume]

well in order to do guild daily's there is a 3 day cool down so the sooner the better

[shell portal]

hmm, i think i have to

[spiral thistle]

Doesn't matter. The guild perk isn't that big that you can't play without being in a guild ever anyway. Not everyone wants to be in a guild.

[spiral thistle]

We get full catchup system as per todays notes. You'll literally walk past entire T1 and T2. You do not need to be in a guild ASAP.

[umbral hazel]

Didnt they remove that from the patch note

or did they re-add it after removing it from the note?

now am confused

[timber panther]

I'm trying to make a guild, and want to do pve and pvp, is it fine to be in azena?

[elfin surge]

We don’t

[brisk plume]

that's the sad part of it yea. you can check how they look here https://lostarkive.com/model-viewer/ and then pick what looks nicer. mind you that if you pick a Martial Artist (apart from Sriker) you then can swap the Avatar among your chars 🙂

[spiral thistle]

Man didn't someone post a screenshot of Roxx of them editing them and not removing?

[brisk plume]

or any other "class" bracket among sub-classes

[blazing rover]

!relase?

[clever minnow]

so for mage it can be bard and summoner skins?

[timid plover]

so i see arcana isnt out yet, if i start a sorc will i be able to swap into arcana?

[blazing rover]

i bought the bronze founders pack when can i play?

[maiden locust]

for pvp, would gunslinger or wardancer be better

[elfin surge]

Completely removed from the patch notes

[umbral hazel]

!release @blazing rover

[midnight flax]

Dusk, you need to wait 29 seconds to use that command again.

[umbral hazel]

oh, eh in 9h

[final inlet]

i'm gonna just throw this out there but @spiral thistle response rate is insane! LOL thank you so much for the help / info

[maiden locust]

and by better i mean in 1v1 and 3v3

[spiral thistle]

Ah I see. I skimmed too fast in the announcement.

[outer trout]

So if I'm understanding the picture correctly Mari server will be mostly made up of NA players where as Valtan is mix of NA and AUS players?

[spiral thistle]

It's just crowdsourced info. Take it with a fist of salt.

[sly moss]

mix of NA, OCE and SEA on valtan

mari is probably 90% NA

[spiral thistle]

More likely to get a response in #pvp-general

[keen condor]

with a character customization ticket is it possible to change everything, including a different voice for your character?

[brisk plume]

i think so, at least to my understanding that's how Avatars work on KR

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[slender yew]

when an enemy is staggered do positionals still do more damage?

like a back attack

[maiden locust]

Is the server time for all regions at +0 utc?

[tiny canyon]

if i made a mage character to claim a name, then never do the subclass select, would i be able to choose summoner for the character later on or would it be locked to the mage classes available when i made the character?

[spiral thistle]

Yes and you do bonus dmg while boss is downed too if that is what you mean by staggered

[old bane]

is founders pet just a skin of a pet, or is it a pet that u have to pay premium currency for?

[brisk plume]

YES

[outer trout]

ty Fogel and lazy

[tiny canyon]

yes to which

[slender yew]

ty still getting used to terms in this game

[umbral mist]

no one in my group of friends want to play support, when will we actually need a support?

[left saddle]

Can you re-order your character list, or is it in the order in which you create those characters?

[sharp vigil]

So do we know at all about whether it's actually more optimal to level first as alt?

and then powerpass main

[umbral hazel]

Some skins are subclass specific though? are you sure its class locked and not subclass locked?

[spiral thistle]

All pets are individual, no skins. Pet bonus effects are in the Aura.

[grave hull]

would i feel a 50ms ping difference between NA west vs east servers?

[brisk plume]

and ten when the sub-class comes you can proseed from there. Sadly that can't be done for Artist for example as we don't get the Class yet

[old bane]

do u get a pet early on in the game?

[errant magnet]

wow

[umbral hazel]

Arent pet bonus effect not in aura for us? aside from auto loot?

[spiral thistle]

There are both base class and class specific

[umbral hazel]

do you know if it is base or sub specific on mage/sorc/summoner? for plat skin?

[spiral thistle]

There is a guide quest that gives you a pet. I don't know exactly where the guide quest is these days.

[tiny canyon]

alright so making sure i get the name i want right now for my mage and then waiting for sorc is a good idea right

[spiral thistle]

Don't know. I'm not interested in avatars at all so I don't care about that info 😄

[wild torrent]

After having returned from saving Prideholme of the demon attack. Open your quest journal (J) and under the Guide Quests accept "Learning About Pets". Complete it to obtain a pet that will loot you items for free. @old bane
https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/resources/1-50-leveling-guide

[brisk plume]

if you mean Summonr and Arcana!? Yes that will work

just make a Mage without choosing sub-class and "park"them till release

[tiny canyon]

oops, yeah they're who i mean, thanks for the help

[brisk plume]

for name reservation

[timid plover]

so i cant swap from sorc to arcana when releases?

[spiral thistle]

The pet effects are in aura. It's just the difference between other regions is they have their aura AND they have to pay monthly blue crystal fee for the pet effects so it's "double cost" while we have 1 cost

[rapid pivot]

for gunlancer blue build, is there a build priority for engravings (like get this one first and so on)

[timid plover]

arcana and reaper both look sick man

[spiral thistle]

You can never swap advanced class once picked

[timid plover]

ugh

[brisk plume]

Yea need to make new Char afaik

[umbral hazel]

oh good for us

[timid plover]

i literally want to play the two unreleased clases

[slender yew]

what is the non advanced class for the artist?

[umbral hazel]

I feel you on that

[tiny canyon]

"special"

[brisk plume]

Specialist

[umbral hazel]

isnt artist the loli? so loli?

[wild torrent]

^^

[slender yew]

pain i cant reserve a name

[brisk plume]

at least on KR, we can't bet wit Amazon

[timid plover]

so there isnt even a p2w swap i can use?

[spiral thistle]

No

[umbral hazel]

How do name delete work?

[slender yew]

the name is gone

[umbral hazel]

do swapping name not free it up? I know deleting char doesnt work

[timid plover]

am i screwed if i just sit on base mage then?

[umbral hazel]

do they "clean up" name from time to time at least?

[spiral thistle]

Amazon has to manually flush the names of characters that has been deleted atm.

[slender yew]

i dont believe so

[brisk plume]

game is quite fair and in Diractos words, if you pace your self and plan ahead there is no reason to pay for anything

[supple oar]

Is there any guide on which classes share engravings? I've seen one but I don't have the URL

[lofty magnet]

so what if you make a Mage class character, but not play it until arcana release? would that character be able to select Arcana during that "tutorial area"

[outer trout]

Can you edit your character appearance later? I assume people are just going to grab the names asap if that's the case

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[whole knot]

What time do servers go up for NA

[timid plover]

how does character progression work exactly

[spiral thistle]

Yes, cash shop ticket, we don't know price yet but expect around ~$8

[lofty magnet]

bless, i can make a name for Arcana then

[slender yew]

9am pst

[timid plover]

like is it like BDO where theres "family" stuff

[umbral hazel]

gonna cost you like 10$ though

[spiral thistle]

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

[timid plover]

thanks

[lofty magnet]

wait why? you have to pay for arcana class?

[outer trout]

Is it like new world where no one can have the same name even for people in diff region as you?

[spiral thistle]

Names are region wide

[timid plover]

have they announced at all when classes will release and in what order

[hearty epoch]

Not up to speed on what patch we will be playing on, but i heard shadowhunters used to suck but got good later with patches, is that the patch we will play on?

[umbral hazel]

ops wrong person soz

[brisk plume]

Director said every 2 months or so

[slender yew]

every 2-3 months

[spiral thistle]

2-3 months interval. Road map will be given.

[lofty magnet]

OH LOL no problem hahaha

[timid plover]

ok, guess ill sit on base class mage

[umbral hazel]

Chat flies man and I accidently hit reply on wrong message lol

[spiral thistle]

Everything is viable even when people claimed they sucked.

[brisk plume]

but yea we will have a road map, will make things more clear/ezy to plan for

[untold quest]

Is open-world PvP allowed? Like.. can u just be randomly killed walking around?

[white slate]

ETA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brisk plume]

in general. play what is fun for you

[tiny canyon]

assuming summoner is next, how long would it take to catch a fresh summoner character up and make her my main?

[timid plover]

arcana and reaper look fun to me :/ so thts not an option

[brisk plume]

nop.

[untold quest]

nice

[spiral thistle]

Not really. There are PvP islands that is open world PvP but that's it in our release.

[sly depot]

do you get less loot when you do chaos dungeons with other people?

[umbral hazel]

Theres pvp islands

[timid plover]

will i just be like a lot weaker if i sit on base class

[hearty epoch]

Yes friend, but does that still mean we are playing on the version where they got buffed or no? Just a question as im in between classes atm 😛

[vapid warren]

Any na west here?

[spiral thistle]

Loot is individual.

[brisk plume]

well one Island tbf

[vapid warren]

Wondering what the best west server will be

[timid plover]

im na mid-west but playing on east

[foggy flax]

likewise

[vapid warren]

Keep the AH afloat

[spiral thistle]

Yes we have very recent balance update.

[tiny canyon]

the only way to sit on base class is to literally not play the account past the name selection lol

[brisk plume]

the Auction House is Region wide

[lofty magnet]

i think valtan is gonna be the big west server

[outer trout]

having a dumb arse moment right now but if names are region wide does that mean if someone in NA makes a char named goblin someone in SEa server can have a char named goblin as well?

[sly moss]

you have to pick a subclass or you're just stuck in the tutorial zone

[vapid warren]

Solid solid

[timid plover]

that sucks

[spiral thistle]

There are like 6-7 PvP islands though.

[brisk plume]

you won't have issues finding items 🙂

[timid plover]

guess i'll play adc then

how easy is it to catch up a lower level char

cuz im 100% swapping when arcana comes

[brisk plume]

i mean there is only one that is part of the main story/mandatory

[spiral thistle]

NAE and NAW 1 person can be named Goblin in each.

[spiral thistle]

No PvP island is in main story.

[brisk plume]

that's good news then 🙂

[untold quest]

I suppose if you know you will switch, you can instantly be lvl 50 and already collect gear for this other char? Or is gear char-bound?

[timid plover]

^^

[spiral thistle]

Most likely there will be events with class releases to help progress.

[old bane]

with friends, is playing the story mode until 50 just a hassle? is it better to start playing together after lvl 50?

[timid plover]

guess i'll start gunner for now

[spiral thistle]

Lots of instanced forced solo content where you'd have to wait for everyone to finish. Do what you want with that info.

[brisk plume]

we get the gear for free completing main story quests no need to worry about gear

[untold quest]

Imo if its the first time you play an mmorpg its very fun to experience with others

[timid plover]

ya im stating it with some friends

[spiral thistle]

You don't. That is only if you do Shushire.

[timid plover]

jk lol nvm gunner doesnt look nearly as cool

[untold quest]

Yeah, but I mean what if I know I start Arcana when it comes out (like someone else just mentioned), can I already get everything for it in advance?

[maiden locust]

Gunlancer is top tier

[timid plover]

i dont like tanky people

[tight nexus]

for the twitch drops, do I need to have early access or can I still get the drops for the normal start? Also, gotta watch streamers from your region or can i join in other streamers for the twitch drops?

[untold quest]

I played lancer in TERA for a long time, I really look forward to Gunlancer. It has the same vibe

[timid plover]

why does sharpshooter have skills that looks like a gunner should have

[spiral thistle]

There might be catchup system so you won't need to hoard lower tiers but need to hoard T3 materials.

[maiden locust]

Fair enough, they’re tabby but still output the same dog as dps just less mobile

Tanky*

[spiral thistle]

Not a discussion channel

[maiden locust]

Dmg*

[untold quest]

Ye and thats not soulbound? Or will like all T3 material be used on main char and is saving T3 for another char like... super far away?

[timid plover]

what order did the clases release in other servers

[brisk plume]

there are upgrade materials that come in boxes ect that you can store in your account storage and use on new characters yes, gear comes from completing main story and then each time from the Chaos Dungeon

[spiral thistle]

Some materials are but most isn't. Depends on source.

[thick crown]

Are tier 1 abyss dungeons 8 man raid?

[spiral thistle]

No

[maiden locust]

I mean the order is already messed up, characters that are releasing now with the western version such as the paladin was after some of the classes that haven’t released yet

[lucid grove]

Which has a higher dmg output soulfist or wardancer?

[slender yew]

what do you spend hard currency on other than skins?

[dusky wind]

Hi. One question maybe for KR or RU players. When you use a power boost, are you able to use it if your char it's level 30 for example? If you only can use it when recently created, does the power pass give you all the main quest rewards like cards and such?

[maiden locust]

Covert hard currency to gold

[spiral thistle]

The one you play best. Not trolling.

[timid plover]

dang

[maiden locust]

Convert*

[timid plover]

im assuming most of u have multi chars

[lucid grove]

I haven’t played tho 😅

[slender yew]

wait can you just

[spiral thistle]

You should be able to use it on a Lv30 yes. You get some server wide rewards but nothing from sides etc.

[timid plover]

will i kidna be locked down to one true main ?

[slender yew]

buy gold

[mighty wave]

no summoner from start anymore? why?

[maiden locust]

No you won’t be locked to one main

[slender yew]

youll have times you can switch

[spiral thistle]

Just meant that the difference in dps for classes is quite low as the director has pointed out from their analysis of internal damage data.

[timid plover]

like how do u mean switch

[spiral thistle]

Because they wanted Sorc.

[maiden locust]

You’ll want to have several end game characters

[pale owl]

im stuck on picking a server..

[timid plover]

Ok that’s sweet

[spiral thistle]

Check the pinned message how exchange works for "buying gold"

[untold plover]

So is there any given time to change your character's appearance whenever you create one?

[timid plover]

I’m assuming the typical pattern is to max one of each class first

[dusky wind]

I just want the Solas card for the 2 alts xD. So can I go for it and then use the power pass?

[spiral thistle]

No. After it's created you're done. Only way is through ticket.

[umbral hazel]

need to use a store bought ticket for around 8$

[untold plover]

thank you

[mighty wave]

i have to decide on new class now lmao

[umbral hazel]

Can you spam chaos dungeon and still get loot after you done the daily for it?

[spiral thistle]

Should be possible yes. I would just use Power Pass and save a slot to grind the card by making and deleting alts.

[full widget]

You get a different item you can use to buy materials from the vendor

[slender yew]

okay so other than currency exchange. what can royal crystals be used for other than skins and the monthly sub

[full widget]

Fogel, My Man its been a few days 😄

[umbral hazel]

So basically yes?

[spiral thistle]

No, regular loot stops after your x2 dailies. You'll get token loot and maybe a tiny amount of bound accessories.

[full widget]

Yup

[crystal rock]

Will the game be released for asia region as well

[timid plover]

weird question but what class is most similar to someone like yasuo lol

[umbral hazel]

IS token loot useable or is it just meme?

[spiral thistle]

No SEA/OCE from Amazon

[chrome orchid]

Between deathblade (remaining energy) and soulfist (robust spirit) which has the easier skill rotation?

[crystal rock]

Amazon?

[dusky wind]

yeah, but in some way I dont like the idea to grind that. I was going to do only 3-4 chars at most and not grind the card, so at least i want to secure those copies

[timid plover]

very high mobility, glass cannon damage

[spiral thistle]

Used at Chaos NPC for engravings/materials/accessories. Not worth it. Better to just play alts.

[slender yew]

consistent or burst?

[timid plover]

Consistent

[tight nexus]

for the twitch drops, do I need to have early access or can I still get the drops for the normal start? Also, gotta watch streamers from your region or can i join in other streamers for the twitch drops?

[spiral thistle]

Amazon is publisher for west. There isn't any publisher for SEA/OCE. You have KR and JP region in Asia that's it.

[timid plover]

usually survives off lifesteal

[crystal rock]

ohk

[slender yew]

its one of the gunners i forget which one

[peak marsh]

Hey. So I have a question: how do guilds work? Like are u in a guild with just one character or are u in it with ur account?

[timid plover]

sharpshooter/deadeye

Gunslinger and then the big gun guy

[spiral thistle]

Lifesteal doesn't exist.

[spiral thistle]

Per character.

[quaint island]

Do I need to turn on VPN while playing Lost Ark?

[mighty wave]

blade isnt that good in pve or?

[spiral thistle]

All classes are good in PvE

[mighty wave]

cool

[grave hull]

just confirming founders packs arent auto assigned and given to the first server and character i make right? i can save it for months or however long until i decide my main and server i want?

[slender yew]

any of them has p good sustained damage except for sharpshooter @timid plover

[timid plover]

Is he burst?

[slender yew]

he has some sustained but yea more bursty

[timid plover]

Maybe will do gunslinger then

[slender yew]

well less utility really and more movement

[timid plover]

i do also want to wait for arcana so this’ll just be interim

[maiden locust]

I’m just sad my main Lance master isn’t here on release

[umbral hazel]

yes, aslong as you dont claim it from the special inventory

[chrome orchid]

Does anyone know which has the more difficult skill rotation between soulfist and deathblade?

[spiral thistle]

Depends on builds.

[chrome orchid]

Robust spirit vs remaining energy

[spiral thistle]

Burst Blade > HDB

[timid plover]

what’s the tldr differences between gunslinger and the others

[chrome orchid]

What is hdb

[spiral thistle]

Original name of Robust Spirit

[grave hull]

higher apm, 16 skills vs 8? though you wont be using all 16 on your rotations

[untold root]

anyone here used vpn to download?

[chrome orchid]

What about the other blade build? Is that harder than robust spirit?

[timid plover]

why need vpn can’t u just preload

[umbral hazel]

region lock

[untold root]

not available in my coutry

[timid plover]

oh

[spiral thistle]

No, Energy Overflow is easier

[spiral thistle]

I don't know enough about Blade I only know that Burst Blade is considered the most difficult by e.g. Saintone

[nocturne spruce]

guys i wanna ask about pvp normal matches rank up

i played like 40 games so far and still a rookie
what do i need to do to get a veteran?

[chrome orchid]

I think non burst is the more common build, if I'm remembering correctly. More sustained damage I think

[spiral thistle]

For SM yeah Robust is more widely used.

[umbral hazel]

is there a thirain discord server? (EU)

[timid plover]

I’m assuming gunslinger is hard to play lol

[spiral thistle]

Takes a bit getting used too but I wouldn't call it hard.

[umbral hazel]

Is there any pve open world content that gonna be hard todo in a low pop server?

[chrome orchid]

I meant for blade, it's the one that isn't called burst that is more commonly used. For SM it's robust spirit, I don't think anyone uses the other

[maiden locust]

Gunslinger certainly has a learning curve. Very good class though, my first ever class on the kr servers

[spiral thistle]

Nah not really tbh

[mighty wave]

i read often season 2, are we in season 2?

[umbral hazel]

most if not everything else that is relevant (non open world stuff) is cross server anyway right?

[spiral thistle]

Yeah because Burst Blade is difficult and if you fuck up you do poor dmg

[umbral hazel]

!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

[timid plover]

is deadeye more difficult than gunslinger?

[hearty epoch]

Is Burst blade aalso what you would be playing in PVP?

[spiral thistle]

Yes. The only issue is getting enough players but there will be a long time before the initial die-off happens so you would most likely have cleared everything by then anyway and everyone would be around same ilvl and do same stuff and not be spread around. I'm not worried.

[old bane]

to get everything from the twitch drops, only 4 hours is needed right?

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[drowsy ocean]

Is there a discord for Thirain like there is for Kadan/Zinner?

[spiral thistle]

PvP is completely separate

[umbral hazel]

What stuff require you to be in the same server when it comes to vertical progress?

[normal mica]

trying to find an advanced class main between the martial artists here, I'm looking for the flashiest advanced class there that spams skills at a high APM
I heard about wardancer and soulfist, any recommendations?

[timid plover]

Is skill ceiling higher for deadeye then?

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[timid plover]

ahh decisions

[spiral thistle]

Wardancer in that case

[normal mica]

alright thank you very much!

[spiral thistle]

Uh, chaos gate, ghost ship... like you can live without these almost. Vertical is mainly dailies/weeklies

[umbral hazel]

Isnt chaos gate and ghost ship solo?

[bleak radish]

can we buy a founders pack like say tomorrow if we decide we want to?

[umbral hazel]

until 11th

[bleak radish]

alright ty

[umbral hazel]

steam have a countdown I believe on the store page

if you want a more exact time

not sure if they remove it at the end of 11th or at the start or at 5pm uct

[spiral thistle]

Chaos gate everyone solo. Ghost Ship while technically you could solo it would take forever. Don't remember if boss has rage timer in that case it would be impossible.

[drowsy ocean]

Is there a discord for Thirain like there is for Kadan/Zinner?

[wild torrent]

When I find gear with tripods, how do I know if I should sell or scrap?

[spiral thistle]

You can "set" tripods in your skill menu so they get a highlighted icon so you know what armors/weapons has tripods you are looking for.

[lament mural]

Which npcs should I focus on to rapport for my shadowhunter

[wild torrent]

what about gear valuable to others in terms of AH sales?

[umbral hazel]

man deciding server so hard

Kaden prob gona be full
Z something prob gonna be full
Thirain may be low pop after test of time which sucks

[thorny hatch]

If i spend 10hours in character customization.. is there a way to long my nick while editing?

Lock

[spiral thistle]

Same deal. You'd highlight the ones you'd know others would find valuable. But this requires you to have knowledge of builds for your class. It's mostly Lv4 tripods I'd care about selling anyway.

[spiral thistle]

No

[umbral hazel]

just so you know, deleting a char does not free up the name for now

[lament mural]

Me too mr answering machine

[thorny hatch]

It seems i found a big problem

[wild torrent]

Even on fresh servers you'd only sell lvl 4 tripod gear?
I assume a lot of "meh" stuff goes for more than its scrap value now

[crimson ledge]

You can fast create and then change your appearance for 8$ later

[umbral hazel]

if you REALLY want a name, and its SUPER popular like I dunno, naruto. Be fast and buy a char custom ticket for around 10$

[lament mural]

@umbral hazel Is it the one that you get in platinum pack?

[spiral thistle]

Rapport NPCs aren't class specific in any way. It's just general rewards. You can just work on early NPCs until you figure out what you want/need from the ones that need a lot of points and/or virtue stats to progress.

[umbral hazel]

no that be the char slot ticket

[ruby perch]

is artist classified as a mage class?

[crimson ledge]

No

[umbral hazel]

no, as specialist aka loli kek

[lament mural]

Can u pay with PayPal on lost ark

[spiral thistle]

We don't know yet.

[sly moss]

you can prob use steam wallet to buy cash shop stuff

but we'll see on launch

[pastel ore]

Any info how to play NA/EU version, if it isn't available for ur region?

[crimson ledge]

VPN but it's considered illegal/against ToS

[umbral hazel]

indirectly, if you can buy via steam (which I think is for sure)

[lament mural]

Oki

[pastel ore]

Do I have to create seperate steam account for it?

[sly moss]

👀

[umbral hazel]

"illegal" against ToS. The cops aint gonna come and drag your ass to prison if you use VPN Xd

[umbral hazel]

Yes, since steam acc and store is region locked to

[pastel ore]

They call it global release and ignored SEA region

[umbral hazel]

unless you already have a non region locked steam acc

[pastel ore]

Kekw

Nah, i have to make an international steam account just to play this game

[versed dove]

yall does anyone know how to get this outfit ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/852619895119020033/940529232004673606/unknown.png

[keen condor]

how do engravings work in PvP? are they disabled completely?

[buoyant kraken]

anyone has the server list page please?

[maiden locust]

Why can’t i pre download the game? Every i press pre load it just reload the steam page

[umbral hazel]

Which one in particular? the community guild one?

[pastel ore]

Is there any stand-alone version other than steam?

[spiral thistle]

In arena yes

[umbral hazel]

KR and RU and JP

No, no, no

[vapid lake]

i was able to pre download the game without vpn in a region locked country..does that mean? hmmm i won't need to use one when playing the game or nah?

[pastel ore]

🤢 🤮

[umbral hazel]

KR have a english patch I think? and maybe RU?

[pastel ore]

How can a game maker ignore entire region man

[umbral hazel]

but it aint like the EU/NA release for sure

[pastel ore]

Such bs

[umbral hazel]

$$$ and publisher rights

[spiral thistle]

RU has unoffical English patch by community

[old bane]

to get everything from the twitch drops, is only 4 hours needed for everything?

[umbral hazel]

depend on which twitch drop, but no on 2 out of 3

[pastel ore]

Do they not lose money? Losing potential customers

[quaint island]

how?

[umbral hazel]

I mean it aint free to release the game in SEA

not to mention all the laws and shit, heck for EU. some of the EU country is barged cause Lost ark gameplay count as gambling and they got region locked to lol

[pastel ore]

Man, welp i guess I'm stuck to mobile mmos ig

[quaint island]

but what about lifting the IP block

[old bane]

what are the other 2 out of 3 ?

[vapid lake]

how i downloaded without vpn? I actually dont know, I was just trying to download it expecting I would eventually use a VPN

[umbral hazel]

if you can download, you can play. Maybe you need a VPN when playing if they check that? but I thnk they rely soley on steam region lock

[umbral hazel]

You probably havea international steam acc or you not in a region blocked place

[quaint island]

they dont need to release the game in SEA, just remove the IP-Block

[normal mica]

@spiral thistle sorry for the ping, but which of the talent wardancer uses is flashier as well? the additional ki orb or beginner mind?

[strong vector]

if we can get someone from non locked country to create steam acc and add the game, we can play in region locked countries without vpn

[pastel ore]

By accessing that account?

[vapid lake]

I stated I am in a region locked place, I created an account in Estonia though which steam country is on..

[spiral thistle]

I don't know. I haven't personally played Wardancer at all.

[strong vector]

yup

[normal mica]

oh I see, any wardancer players here that could answer?

[pastel ore]

Ok sounds like a plan

[spiral thistle]

Ask in the class channel

[umbral hazel]

They dont offer stand alone client, and steam probably isnt allowed by some wierdass law to let SEA people download. do they actually have IP block?

[outer trout]

Does this game have family name system like BDO?

[umbral hazel]

no

[normal mica]

alright I'll go there, thank you

[quaint island]

I already have an International Steam account but when i try to predownload on steam it justs says 'preparing to launch' then the little screen dissapears and the store page refreshes.

[lone ocean]

will we have direct 11?

[outer trout]

ty

[umbral hazel]

yes

[lone ocean]

fuck yea ty

[modern grove]

hi all, quick question is AH server or Region wide?

[spiral thistle]

Region.

[modern grove]

ty

[loud fractal]

anyone know the difference between the three west servers?

[tawny flame]

I have put the preload to download, it says this now

is this okay, because if I go browse files its an empty folder

[spiral thistle]

Nothing besides the players.

[spiral thistle]

Normal

[loud fractal]

oh ok, i thought one would be pvp focused or something

[spiral thistle]

Doesn't really matter anyway. Most things are cross server.

[loud fractal]

sweet, thanks for the help!

[strong vector]

is anyone here from eu region, pls help

[crimson ledge]

What's the problem?

[cyan oar]

I bought the founders pack steam still says feb 11th

am i fine?

[umbral hazel]

yes

[cyan oar]

ok thank u

[umbral hazel]

unless amazon/smilegate/steam fucks up which gonna fuck up for all of us

[cyan oar]

a game messing up a release? surely not

never happens xD jk

[outer trout]

For people that played the other versions of this game did they have server transfer items in the cash shop?

[maiden locust]

It’s 60GB?

[cyan oar]

yea games big af

[umbral hazel]

70gb to download, but end up at like 50 ish

[spiral thistle]

No

[maiden locust]

What time does the game officially release for head starters?

[outer trout]

ty

[shut imp]

6 pm for eu?

[crimson ledge]

Yes, GMT+1

[outer trout]

Okay guys dm each other juicy secrets as to what's gonna be cheap on release but get expensive later for marketplace items

[cursive urchin]

Was it confirmed anywhere that we're getting the build where we just do main story quests till 50?

[umbral hazel]

yes

[spiral thistle]

You're most likely not going to be able to scalp much stuff cheap at start besides Blue Crystals at the exchange because no one has gold. AH prices will be extremely volatile.

[tawny flame]

where was the info about server transfers

[undone moat]

is Bard useful for a beginner? or should my main be a regular dps for starting off

[last skiff]

Is it possible to change my character look later in game ? And if yes is it expensive?

[spiral thistle]

There are no server transfers

[ruby zinc]

is it normal that the lost ark folder is empty even though you did the preload?

[spiral thistle]

If you like support Bard is fine.

[tawny flame]

you sure? I think I saw someone mention it, was a paid transfer

[spiral thistle]

Yes because it's packed and encrypted

[ruby zinc]

alright thank you

[maiden locust]

Time to get up and download this thing ugh

[spiral thistle]

KR only had that for a while but it was removed.

[undone moat]

is buying potions gonna be expensive in the start? I'm guessing it's bought with gold

[spiral thistle]

Most likely yes. But that is only battle potions. Not regular potions.

[cinder kernel]

newbie question... do i gear up my alts...? isnt that counter intuitive?

[obtuse wyvern]

Looking for some tanky/high damage class i guess berserker is the way to go?

Until destroyer is out

[misty tree]

Warlord
Yea destroyer too

[maiden locust]

Or gunlancer

[spiral thistle]

No, you gear up alts too. You just don't spend on them really.

[obtuse wyvern]

Ain't gunlancer low damage?

[maiden locust]

Hahaha no

[spiral thistle]

Nothing is low dmg except Bard and Pala.

[maiden locust]

They do same dmg as dps

[obtuse wyvern]

Shieeet

[maiden locust]

Just low mobility

[cinder kernel]

but i'll have to use the resources i get from chaos / guardian to upgrade gear right? isn't my main going to need all that!

[obtuse wyvern]

Who's gonna be more sought for endgame tho

Berserker or gunlancer

[misty tree]

There is the blue build & red build warlord. Blue is tanky red is damage.
Hoever in the end game, blue can do as much damage as red

[maiden locust]

Gunlancer is tightly sort after in pve

Highly*

[obtuse wyvern]

Well now I know what I'm gonna play

Thanks

[spiral thistle]

Yes and now. There are tons of 1-time rewards from island quests that will most likely put you at i600 to exit T2 and then alts don't help your main anymore anyway. It depends on how you play.

[maiden locust]

Yeah I’ll be going gunlancer as my first chara too, enjoyed it on the kr/ru servers

[obtuse wyvern]

I used to play as berserker during beta but some skills were kinda bad

[cinder kernel]

ohh so after t2 alts are just currency farmers?

[obtuse wyvern]

Cause boss moved away from my range and etc

[tawny flame]

How is Thirain as a server? Is it mostly english?

[spiral thistle]

Until they get into T2 mostly dailies slaves yes

[sour shuttle]

iv'e decided on lance master, does it matter what fighter i choose when getting up to unlocking the advance classes?

[maiden locust]

Lance master isn’t coming with release, which I’m sad about as it’s my main

[keen condor]

which class has the longest skill CDs (least amount of clicking)?

[cinder kernel]

sorry so after t2 they aren't dailies slaves and are smth else or the other way?

[rugged musk]

hi i saw these thing called knowledge transfer may i know whats this is it worth doing it

[crimson ledge]

You mean gender? I mean, you can create a character and hold onto it for now until male or female LM comes out, but it'll take a lot of time. Also, m and f LC are probably going to be slightly different.

[undone moat]

@keen condor human only shadowhunter has extremely long CDs

but deals a lotta damage

[half harness]

Since the steam folder is empty is there a way to import RU presets to NA right now?

[spiral thistle]

They are dailies slaves mostly. If you have multiple alts you can funnel mats to 1 alt so that one progress faster to get into T2 to help your main progress faster e.g.

[cinder kernel]

ahh i see, thanks man

[bold pollen]

Will we be able to re-customize our characters appearance if we are not happy with how it turned out?

[crimson ledge]

8-10$ for a ticket

[dusk hearth]

I was reading something said we can get a powerpath token if we watch cutscenes? So does that mean we cant skip a single cutscene?

[maiden locust]

You don’t have to watch cutscenes anymore

[bold pollen]

Thanks!

[cosmic wagon]

Does anyone know if I can get twitch drops in an EU account if I am watching an NA streamer?

[maiden locust]

You just have to get lvl 50 then activate the first one to gain access to the second one

Do watch the cutscenes though they’re cool

[dusk hearth]

@maiden locust oh was that a mistake like the gear thing they said also?

[maiden locust]

No they intended to do it that way, but changed it

[dusk hearth]

@maiden locust ohhh ok kool

Thanks for answering!

[sour shuttle]

damn i was really keen on lance too, so when it comes out do i have to choose one of the female fighter classes in order for me to be able to choose lance master or does it not matter which fighter class i choose?

[maiden locust]

Yeah you’ll have to play as a female when Lance master does release.

[crimson ledge]

F LM is already made so she'll arrive earlier than the male alternative. They are probably gonna be slightly different too.

[maiden locust]

But yeah tell me about it, I was looking forward but to Lance master too, would have made my decision easier on who to pick first.

[undone moat]

I wanted to play summoner so badly.

[buoyant kraken]

what does it mean that "Kadan" is supposed to be pvp central server or something?

[undone moat]

I'm not even into sorc

[maiden locust]

Summoner is a sick class

Shame about it not coming on release too

Mage classes looking kinda dry rn

Sorc is a good class though, for pve and pvp

[atomic gulch]

For premade pvp, you have to be on same server with our teammates, so they decided to gather there.

[undone moat]

I might end up doing shadowhunter if I don't do bard

[wild torrent]

Should I worry about saving tripods from levelling gear? or ignore mostly?

[buoyant kraken]

so if I dont plan to PvP it doesnt matter to me ... ok

[spiral thistle]

Tripods only exist in T3

[trail ice]

hey guys is there any limit for gathering nodes???

[rain meadow]

your energy?

[wild torrent]

ohhhh that's a relief 😄

[eager nova]

is there anything i have to do for game? I downloaded it and now it says this

[spiral thistle]

Nodes are fixed location and respawn time

[rain meadow]

you wait

[lapis thunder]

What main class Is a lancer

[trail ice]

idk about energy what is it?

[eager nova]

so just download and wait for 9 am?

[rain meadow]

if you have a founder pack yeah

[rain meadow]

your lifeskill energy

[trail ice]

so there is not any limit for farming nodes?

[eager nova]

kk yeah i bought pack ty

[carmine thistle]

Crystaline Aura is cross server?

[trail ice]

how can i use it?

[lapis thunder]

What main class is a lancer

[rain meadow]

by collecting nodes

[trail ice]

is it the only way to spend it?

[rain meadow]

uhhh i want to say yes

i feel like im forgetting something, though

[crimson ledge]

Martial Artist, #navigation

[spiral thistle]

Yes. If you've drained all your Life energy it takes 2-2½day to regain

[trail ice]

and if i spend this lifeskill energy shall i do dungeons or not?

[trail ice]

wow

[rain meadow]

they aren't connected so why not

[trail ice]

nice

[violet elk]

Does all gear within a tier use the same upgrade materials?

[tawny flame]

im confused, why does steam say lost ark is available tomorrow 6 am

[cedar kettle]

Thoughts on Sorc vs Gunslinger as a new player? Kinda torn between the 2 on what to start out with/main

[trail ice]

Thanks guys @rain meadow @spiral thistle

[spiral thistle]

Yes

[violet elk]

I remember at launch of Korea guardian geared used guardian mats for upgrades. Is that not the case anymore?

[atomic gulch]

Cos officially it releases on 11st

[spiral thistle]

Doesn't really matter imo.

[spiral thistle]

No because that was season 1 and entirely other system for gearing.

[violet elk]

Thank god that was miserable.

[gaunt basin]

anyone know why this changed?

[lucid grove]

When they said only 2 power pass per account? Is that forever or just 2 free power pass per account

[violet elk]

2 max per acct.

[lucid grove]

Timezones

[spiral thistle]

2 free for now. Might be more free later if we're lucky

[trail ice]

what is power pass?

[violet elk]

They give other boosts later too but not sure what others will be called.

[lucid grove]

[gaunt basin]

i'm uk I was expecting to be able to play in 7hr 20min on headstart

[spiral thistle]

And you will

[lucid grove]

You will

[violet elk]

Are immediately doing islands at fresh 50 slower or faster to upgrade gear? Compared to questing.

[lucid grove]

isn’t it 11th for you rn? @gaunt basin

[gaunt basin]

it says 12th on my steam it was saying 11th yesterday

thats why im confused

[lucid grove]

I meant the date. What’s your date in uk

[gaunt basin]

oh it's the 8th

I think my pc bugged its saying 11th again now xD

[tawny hearth]

can I still get the drop? I'm watching fextralife but I see no progress bar on my twitch inventory

[lucid grove]

Then you’re gonna play in 7 hrs. If you bought the pack

[gaunt basin]

niiice

[lucid grove]

Do you meant the pet?

[tawny hearth]

yes

[spiral thistle]

Island hopping will be fastest way to progress ilvl.

[tawny hearth]

but nothing on my twitch inventory

[lucid grove]

Only from crown twitch till 11th. After you can look for streamers that have drops enabled tag on their stream and get it from them

[tawny hearth]

no progress bar

[deft reef]

After you do all the daily if you have time

[tawny hearth]

crown isn't online and no streamers have the drops tag

[deft reef]

Is it the same pet?

[lucid grove]

Crown is gonna stream again tomorrow

[lucid grove]

Yeah

[violet elk]

Trying to figure out whether to go island upgrade route or shushire/vern before the first reset.

[deft reef]

Can i ger two?

[lucid grove]

You can get different pet from a different twitch event

[deft reef]

You go sushire so you can skip the first guardian raid

[spiral thistle]

If you have time before daily reset Vern -> Shushire. If not dailies -> Vern -> Shushire

[violet elk]

K just see two diff strategies so I'm trying to do the safer of the two. Islands take me a while compared to Shushire.

[maiden locust]

Hello there. New to the game. Can someone please tell me what is Power Pass please?

[spiral thistle]

Instant level 50 and i302

[deft reef]

Does the power pass give skill points from side quests

[light zealot]

Does anyone know if the servers are going to have any ping differences

[gaunt basin]

power pass is only usable on alts right?

[maiden locust]

Thanks! But isn't that weird to have it? I mean... I should not use it on my main character right? Only on alts

[tawny hearth]

how do I get a powerpass?

[sly moss]

you're already pass that point by the time you get the power pass

[timber panther]

what's the point of a pvp dedicated server besides pvp focused guilds?

[glossy badger]

Nothing just GvG

[spiral thistle]

You can't use it on your first character. It's awarded when you complete entire Vern main quest.

[violet elk]

Is the power pass boost instant or does it takes 8 hours like the other boost?

[tawny hearth]

people group up with other people before going pvp

[sly moss]

power pass is instant

[timber panther]

oh? if you aren't interested to pvp at first, and join is it fine? :d

[violet elk]

So I guess leveling as your alt and then boosting your main would be faster way to progress?

[sly moss]

keep in mind that pvp community is in the minority

even on "pvp hub" server

[glossy badger]

Yes it's not open world PvP it's scheduled events, just don't join em.

[lucid grove]

Is there any point in having more than one pet

[glossy badger]

You won't be pked or anything.

[sly moss]

showing them off idk

[timber panther]

lmao, pked

[glossy badger]

Cycling stat boosts between characters

[neat cape]

Is it better to use it on my main but miss out on upgrade mats from shushire? Since power pass completes shushire too right?

[timber panther]

was wondering since i'm thinking on opening a guild with some friends but dunno if i wanna go to regulus or azena

[spiral thistle]

Only if your main is Pala/Bard/Gunlancer which has marginally slower leveling

[light zealot]

Does anyone know if the servers are going to have any ping differences, like if you live on the east coast is there a better NA east server to connect to for lower ping

[atomic gulch]

Gunlancer slow leveling? lol

[spiral thistle]

It might complete Shu. I don't know if materials are still awarded or not when using Power Pass.

[violet elk]

!cloudping

[midnight flax]

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

[spiral thistle]

It's clearly said "marginally slower"

[sly moss]

shushire is like 2-3 hours

use your boost on alts

[neat cape]

I see thanks for clearing up

[light zealot]

!cloudping

[violet elk]

@light zealot East is in Virginia, West is Oregon.

[midnight flax]

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

[glossy badger]

Do we need to restart steam at launch time for it to show?

[atomic gulch]

well if margin is 0, then yep

[light zealot]

Are all NA east servers in the same place?

[violet elk]

Yes

[light zealot]

Alright thanks

[spiral thistle]

It's not but glad you don't feel that way.

[timber panther]

is there any difference in regulus vs azena atm? :d they look the same to me

[trail ice]

Is powerpass stant boost?

[light zealot]

What do you mean by that @trail ice

[trail ice]

if i use the powerpass have i stand afk for 8h? or i get instant* boost

[clever jolt]

To get the boost for not skipping any cutscenes, can I still skip the tutorial/prolog or will this also count as a cutscene?

[light zealot]

The power pass is just something you can use to get an alt from level 1 to 50 instantly @trail ice

[deft reef]

It was a troll

[light zealot]

You get 2 of them only its not the knowledge boost

@clever jolt they changed it so that you don't have to watch the cutscenes anymore

[trail ice]

What is knowledge boost then?

[clever jolt]

Oh OK, that's nice thx

[wooden valve]

Europe (Frankfurt) 8 ms dajum

[light zealot]

@trail ice Something different that you spend gold on instead

[summer roost]

So how does the game unlock today? Do we need to enter a code or does it automatically unlock for pack owners? How does it know that you bought a pack?

[trail ice]

allright so for the powerpass i have to spend real money yeah?

[light zealot]

Everyone was able to predownload the game yesterday and the game will unlock for anyone that has a founders pack on steam at 5pm GMT @summer roost

[summer roost]

Okay, cool

[light zealot]

@trail ice Power passes are not purchasable for real money no, you can get 2 for free just by playing the game and reaching level 50 on your main character

[wooden valve]

So just cancel it after you logged in? 😛

[river river]

I'm from EU (UK) and have a lot of NA friends who will be playing too, are there any restrictions on playing together, for example me needing a VPN or are the servers globally accessible?

[light zealot]

@wooden valve After the launch at 5pm I'm pretty sure you wont be able to refund founders packs anymore

[spiral thistle]

Globally accessible. Only issue is timed content that runs on server time that would be skewed for you.

[light zealot]

@river river Nope free to play as you like

[river river]

alright cool, thanks a lot

[trail ice]

Tnx and the last question : If i buy
the Knowledge boost by 800gold what would i get? a double x xp gain?

[light zealot]

I think the knowledge boost is the slower character boost that you have to wait time for it to complete that you mentioned before

[trail ice]

nice, Thanks a lot

[zinc robin]

if you have both gold and platinum packages. the skins you obtain on the same char are the same?

[hollow merlin]

guys, i still didnt get me code from amazon. anyone knows if they delivered it already? or when at least?

[maiden locust]

hello, one question.. when is best time to start playing with alts ? and how many is great to have at start ?

[maiden locust]

there are 2 types of skins, lawmaker and the exclusive ones from plat pack, plat pack also includes the previous
if you buy the gold and plat pack, you will have 2 lawmakers, you can redeem on different classes

[keen condor]

I heard u can change appearance after creation at the barber shop, but it's limited, anyone knows what can and cannot be changed without the ticket?

[zenith wasp]

hey there, where do you have your info from? In kr and ru "north Vern powerpass" does indeed skip shushire

[crimson ledge]

I've seen 2/3 Lawmaker color variations. Do you get all of them in one pack or do you choose only 1?

[maiden locust]

you can color them

[manic dew]

With the plat founders pack, are you able to claim the other bonuses in the pack but not redeem the plat skin on a character until you're sure it'll be your main?

[cunning trout]

for the weekly abyss dungeon do you get to do 3 per week in total or 3 times each abyss dungeons you unlocked?

[spiral thistle]

True. It might actually do that for ours too as they haven't specified it beyond getting "Vern equipment".

[maiden locust]

I think you get boxes each containing different things

[crimson ledge]

Oh, so that's why there were dark and white variations in that poster. Got it, thanks!

[manic dew]

I know what i'm playing at launch but i'm just hesitant since you only get the plat skin once for the account

[blissful vector]

Quick question: Are character names locked per server or per region?

[maiden locust]

region

[blissful vector]

So I have to fight with all EU servers and ALL EU players to get my names?

jesus christ

[maiden locust]

exactly, also there are more restrictions to names

[blissful vector]

Yeah I know of those

[atomic gulch]

You can't have jesus christ as name 😄

[blissful vector]

So basically every name is gone by friday when the rest joins us and all of them have Xxgenericname69 as their name

Fun times

[maiden locust]

except the number at the end, cant do that

[atomic gulch]

numbers not allowed either

[blissful vector]

oh ofc

Xxgenericnamesixnine

[spiral thistle]

Accented letters from supported languages are allowed and can be abused.
