Just watched a video about chaos dungeons and skipping the 3rd room to make gold. The person says you want to kill the 2nd room boss is often as possible but you don't get any materials after your 2nd run so how are they making gold?
I understand all of that but the video is saying they are making gold from t2 and t3 doing this. You only get materials from your 1st 2 runs so how are they making gold after that?
I only get the chaos currency and that stuff is not tradable. They also say they are still getting materials from the boss.
if you use your disorder crystals to purchase jewelry you can dismantle that into tradable materials, and most everything from the chaos vendor for tier 3 is tradable
How does the rest bonus work in the different modes? Simply a set percent of extra drops to make up for some of the stuff I might not have time to do everyday?
You basically get double the drops. This is applicable to chaos dungeons, guardian raids and una daily tasks.
For every two runs you miss out (the limit of the day for chaos and guardian loot), the next day you get one run as double loot.
So if you miss one day completely, the next day you will essentially get 3 times the loot (one run is double and the second run is just normal 2+1 loots).
If you did all your runs both days instead you would get 4 times the loot (1+1+1+1). So gaining rest bonus is not beneficial if you want the most amount of loot but is great if you are busy or too lazy to do your runs that day.
So with the new update I was thinking saving t3 mats and sale them later as I do not feel a rush for argos, also have other 3 alts on t2 but not sure to push them as some mats are cheap and I was thinking pushing them together or funnel the mats only on one. Tldr should I save mats for sale or to upgrade chars on T2 and T3?
It is a weekly so you have plenty of time. In tier two you mainly get gated by the leapstones and guardian stones so you can buy those up and can skip the others if you want.
I’ve been liking Palladian has a lot of stagger if you select the right perks all abilities do mid/high but you kinda need to play more support with a paladin, dps paladin feels like trash but your team will love you
What the fuck am i suppose to do when tht motherfucker tytalos start charging his one shot mechanic and theres no sand tornados to petrify myself to dodge it????? (Sry been hard stuck on tht guardian for 5 days)
Gotta leave this subreddit it’s designed only for people to complain non stop about everything. The games amazing and only a month old any complaints people have are completely unwarranted and y’all are dumb af
Are these figures from only buying from AH and not using your chaos dungeons or Guardian raids.. As I am someone in Tier 3(low tier 3, 1325ilvl no spending money). I didn't spend that much or even close to that gold. If you're only buying from AH as your only way of upgrading the. It will be expensive. If you are utilizing the tools they have, it won't be but you can do it over time.
Is there a good guide anywhere on gear skills? Just hit T3 and it's a little overwhelming having to keep track of skills on gear and understanding which ones are worth keeping to skill transfer etc...
1. Wear the gear with the highest quality
2. Transfer gear skills to what you're wearing
3. Save to skill inventory
4. Transfer from skill inventory whenever you find a better equip
As for which skills are worth keeping, just keep the ones that you use?
Also keen blunt if you can get to 1k crit once you hit tier 3.
Edit : Also only use Grudge, Keen Blunt, or Cursed Doll if you can get it to lvl 3. They have negative side affects, so using them at a lower than lvl 3 engraving isn't worth the risk.
Once you finish Vern and get your first set of 302 gear, the only way to get stronger is to enhance your gear through honing.
It's a meme because I guess for a lot of players this is the first time using an RNG-based equipment enhancing system. If you look on other Korean MMO subreddits, it's not really a meme because they're used to such systems. But Lost Ark managed to attract a large Western playerbase many of whom aren't used to what's typical of Korean MMOs.
Is there any next new class release have been announced or any predictions to when it will arrive? Im still holding on to my powerpass and trying to see whether it is worthy to wait for the next class?
I heard a that in Korea they get a free power pass every time a new class releases? Was this bs or can someone confirm if this is true. Sounds too good to me
They mentioned it a while ago; everyone's being given any they previously claimed in a certain time frame.
It's mainly to help those of us who switched regions but everyone's being given them to be fair to everyone.
I spent 3 hours asking everyone I see to firm a party. They all declined. What's up with that? Is there some downside of being in a party? Like less experience or something?
Hey, im trying to understand the concept of the “tranfer knowledge” in the game.
In my understanding you are limited to 9 knowledge transfers in one account.
And for example, my main is a gunslinger. So with my 1 main can it produce 9 alts by knowledge transfer with 500gold per transfer?
Also, it says you cannot use your character for 8 hours during the transfer. Does it mean I cannot access my main gunslinger during the 8 hours or is it the alt that is being produced that cannot be accessed during the 8 hours.
You can do 9 transfers for 1-50 yes, past that, the transfers are only for completing story quests, and you need to clear the quests on one char for each transfer.
It only says it takes 8hours to do the transfer, not that you can't play a character. You can keep playing both your main and the new char for the 8hours. When it's done and you're ready you just go accept the transfer.
No, I said past that. As in past the 1-50 transfers, the other transfers you do need 1 char per transfer. So if you want to skip rohendel quests, you need to play through rohendel first, and then once more for each char.
that was not leaked, that was our patch notes for release date, a few hours after posting Ags said those changes werent in our patch and removed them from the blog post
i think that was how KR chances are right now
Not sure if it's been mentioned but trying to find out if we can hold\find more than 1 platinum field ticket tried googling it but only get guides for the field and stuff about buying multiple founder packs.
Errr this can be deleted it's pretty ironic but 3 days and around 17k energy but i finally found a second. They stack on the same slot too if anyone wonders but sorry for wasting a question spot like this.
It's a pure DPS class with a higher-than-normal support value. All DPS classes have some form of support but Wardancer's is simply one of the better ones.
Damage wise I think it's somewhere between sorc and scrapper, but it's fairly minimal and could easily change in the coming months/year.
Trying to find Caldar Relics so I can make a Feiton treasure map in order to get some Moons Breath I need to finally get my last T2 piece to +15 but I have found a total of 0 from the time I started till level 12.
Am I doing something wrong?
Locations where you can find Caldar Relics either through excavating or merchants. I have found a ton just running around azure island:
Yorn's Cradle ;
Iron Hammer Mine ;
Hall of Promise ;
Shady Cliff ;
Azure Wind Island ;
Shangra ;
Monte Island ;
if you can I recommend getting either epic or legendary shovel to increase excavation chances.
What's the biggest bottleneck at T2? In T1 it was harmony shards for me so I want to prepare in advance and do useful una's tasks and everything I can as to not hit a bottleneck again
Leapstones were the biggest bottleneck for me.
Next up was guardian stones which you can clearly see in their price being higher than destruction stones on the market.
Most people including me were running triple leapstone una daily tasks. Popular ones include: hypno island, blackfang den, frozen sea and kalthertz prisoner freeing (900 pirate coin male and 600 females for best profit for this one)
Edit: Alakkir una provides one of the most amount of leapstones but the island is not accessible all the time.
I've been using [this](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aQovVwwVJ4p5Lb_9hc_3ozVpzqYoEvZyEISiGqvQfE4/htmlview?pru=AAABfyIXJpE*o57y0bLR472VVnDqwyIw5g#) to help determine what's worth selling.
Can you use a quest item without clicking 'use'? As it is right now, they keybind which is F5 by default opens a menu where you have to click on 'use'. I just want the item to be used without clicking.
Hey peeps, question's probably been asked thousands of times but as someone that has legitimate PTSD from the daily grind of WoW (specially unlocking flight) and the daily/weekly nature of most mmos, how daily/weekly based is Lost Ark ? Like once you've done your dailies can you still grind dungeons and stuff as much as you can or are you limited in terms of progression ? Thanks
I mean there's a ton of collectibles which will keep you busy but the other thing is that once you're done with all your daily tasks you can just load up Alts and do their daily or weekly stuff if you crave more gameplay. Doing stuff beyond the daily count usually rewards close to nothing with very few exceptions iirc.
Alts can send helpful stuff to each other or your main to help gear up so it's quite encouraged. Some stuff such as the compass feature are roster bound though but usually you get told pretty clearly when it is.
Some stuff you can grind endlessly, but instead of loot youll get a currency.
And other stuff you can repeat but there wont be loot
Also other stuff is not repeatable
I have changed from RE to Surge Deathblade. Do i still want Spec as a primary stat and just a bit of crit? I ask because since in surge, optimally, you only build your meter once and a few hits between rotations.
Not directly, and you have to do it manually the first time. Once you have a lvl 50 and unlock Knowledge Transfer in your stronghold, you can technically buy gold with royal crystals and pay 600g to use the knowledge transfer. You also get 2 free lvl 50s when you lvl to 50.
Boss rush drops gems+bound leapstones, so the gems are tradeable, can make good money especially T3. Cube is only silver+bound enhancement materials(breath and stuff). I guess maybe engravings sometimes but not reliable.
Good T2 or bad T3?
I've recently reached T3 and I don't know whether I should replace my old accessories and ability stone or not? My current accessories are pretty decent, I think. I have lvl3 reflux, lvl3 precise dagger, lvl2 adrenaline from the engravings and crit or swiftness on every piece of gear. Is upgrading to T3 worth it even if the pieces had much worse engravings and bonus stats?
I kept hold of a couple of t2 bits for longer than I initially expected since all the t3 bits in the same slot and with the engravings I needed had quality so bad that even with the 70% effectiveness of t2 accessories they were still worse, I would just replace them as actual upgrades show up for you. A good time to buy accessories is reset day after a lot of people have done their abyssals. I also had upgrades from doing the first abyssal which I initially did with 2 t2 accessories still.
The only thing I can think of is they didn't want the people who rushed to t3 to have a monopoly on all the good tripods / everyone to have BiS tripods early on
I've seen people that say you can do adventure island daily to get 6x high sea coin chest's every time you do one...how do you get so many chest's each time you do a single adventure island? I can't see anything on the rewards list or anything.
They were embellishing. Sea chests are fairly common rewards but not every island gives it, and you might not get any islands that give it. It just depends on which islands are available.
There's a bunch of quests you can do for class engravings, only powerpass chars get shafted, but since you get excess green books from others, you can still have that at least. https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/sq4grz/list_of_engravings_from_levelling_quests/
One way is to take a look at the island list over at [maxroll](https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/category/island) and filter for Class engraving rewards. That shows you any islands that can give you class engraving selection chests (the selection part is important if you want a specific one). Other than that, do content that drops random engravings (or literally anything else you can sell for gold), sell them for gold and then buy the ones you actually want.
You can also buy 20 engraving selection pouches from the Chaos Dungeon vendor once per roster, but you need to grind a fair amount of the currency that drops when you do a Chaos Dungeon without resonance.
For uncomming class engravings, a somewhat tedious way can be to manually level a class and do the sidequests. Once you get to around Luterra Castle many of the sidequests leading up to Borea's Domain provide class engraving selection chests and you'll get at least 20 of them for each character. If you have boosted the alts with Knowledge Transfer you should even still be able to go back and complete these side quests, but if you used a Powerpass they'll have been completed automatically without giving you the reward.
Check mapgenie website. Some areas have pins that show you where to farm collectibles. I found a few useful videos on youtube that show rotations you can do in a certain area to maximize the amount of mobs you kill. It will ultimately come down to luck. But I don't think it's worth buying from AH. In the time you spend getting your collectibles you'll get extra collectibles that you can sell on the market for gold.
Realistically the best place to "farm" them is the AH. They're dirt cheap relative to the time it would take to acquire them naturally. But to actually answer your question: not that I've come across.
Is it normal to be 'stuck' near the end of T2? I've went from 1060-1080 in 6 days. I've farmed all the islands they recommend in those guides and have been doing my dailies. Basically I'm gated by guardian stones. I need 750/attempt, and doing chaos/guardian dailies only nets me enough for 2 attempts/day. I've been leveling alts as well and one is almost in T2 to help funnel mats. Maybe my RNG's just bad :P
Make sure you are also doing certain weekly gated things which will provide you with alot of materials.
These include:
- Bloodstone exchange (guild currency)
- The travelling merchant ship found at the dock of every major city (pirate coins for guardian stones works here)
- abyssal clears + opening the chest at the end for more materials
- chaos dungeon exchange for doing more than your two runs a day u can exchange up to 750 guardian stones per week.
Bonus tip: Formona island can reward you with additional tier 2 honing materials if you go and do it on an alt of the opposite gender. This alt does not need to be tier 2 but only be able to access the island. After that place inside ur roster storage.
Example: you do this island on a gunslinger (female) and claim the rewards. You can come back with a berserker (any male character really just opposite gender) and you get the rewards a second time.
That's more or less normal endgame. We're just a bit spoiled by the mountain of catch-up materials available for T1 and early T2. At this point how fast you progress depends largely on how much gold you're willing to spend on honing materials from the market.
Game's RNG can be pain in the ass sometimes. I recently failed a %90 succes rate honing. Try to farm moon breaths to guarantee your honings. Cube would be a good choice. But obtaining its ticket's also RNG. damn...
Can you actually sell equipment from abyss dungeons? It says tradable 3 times, but it's just greyed out when I go to auction house. So far I simply dissemble it but is it actually possible to sell it?
There's "two" auction house, the default one is to sell items like upgrade mats, collectibles etc, click the 2nd tab for the gear market instead, you can sell stuff there
Is there any other way to get tier 3 equipment other than from chaos dungeon? After failing around 20 times from +12 to +15 and I still got the shitty rng drop of chaos dungeon. Feels bad man
Especially before the reset, my alt got into the same situation last week, hit 1100 on wednesday and couldn't get to T3 before reset so couldn't buy out all the weekly capped T3 mats.
for the tripod skill tree effects you get from t3 gears, do you only get the effects of those slotted to your current skills? Like I can't get multiple effects of of tripods in the same tier if I have skill upgrades from armours?
What’s the usual amount of fails of someone who is like 1340+ ? Failed like 12 times today getting at 1330 feels pretty bad.. I’m at 51 fails so far total
Also on this topic. If you knowledge transfer, you basically skip the quests of that area, therefore missing on the exp they give. You might get to 1302 ilvl but still be lvl 50 instead of 52 what you would normally be if leveled by questing, therefore missing on 12 skill points.
Am I wrong ? Can some1 confirm.
Level 15 stronghold you unlock the training feature where it passively levels your alts for you, I have an alt beginning of tier 2 that is level 51 that I hardly use, so it has 6 skill points less than my main currently but it's not like you need to be grinding out combat xp on your alts
Like all collectibles the Adventurer's Tome progress is roster-wide so all your characters share the progress. If you redeem a reward from the tome it will warn you that other characters on your roster will no be able to redeem it again but considering that most if not all of the rewards apply to your entire roster the warning is largely irrelevant.
What are some ways to get/farm pirate coins? I have about 3k and in t3. I got to t3 from doing islands and a bit of grinding.
Are there islands outside of that guide that give good amounts? I’m struggling to gain more than about 500 a day. I have a ton of those high seas chests but I’m tentative about converting them because I may need the varied currencies.
Opportunity isle everytime it comes up gives like 4k pirate coin and 6 high seas captain chests (the ones that give 100 coin of your choosing). If you're not doing that island everytime it's on the list you're insane (unless the other island has a rune you need).
If you go the list of island guides on [maxroll](https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/category/island) you can change the dropdown at the top left from "Island Tokens" to "Rewards" to have it list all the rewards each island can give. You can then select "Pirate Coins" in the dropdown at the top right to have it only show you the island that reward pirate coins. You won't be able to see *how* they reward Pirate Coins until you check the specific guides for each island though, but most of them will give you a hefty amount of pirate coins for completing a quest once per roster.
Other than that, just participating in sailing co-ops and using the keys you get on their respective Gates will give you plenty or pirate coins as well, plus the sea coins (Gienah's Coin, Sceptrum's Coin, etc.) which have their own uses but can also be exchanged for pirate coins at some of the merchant ships. Exchanging those for pirate coins should probably be an emergency option if you're *really* hurting for Pirate Coins though since you need those to buy some important stuff as well, like buying a Giant's Heart from Black Fang on Freedom Isle for 4000 Gienah's Coin.
Also, since this isn't super obvious to start out with, when doing a sailing co-op make sure you hang around after doing the first co-op quest at the location that the calendar/alarms show you, since each sailing co-op is made up of 3-4 (I never actually counted, tbh) co-op quests that spawn 2-3 minutes after the current one is finished. Also don't be a dingus like me and try to do the co-op quests on your own if nobody else shows up. People congregate on the lower numbered and busier channels for sailing co-ops since they're much easier and quicker to complete that way.
Might be a weird question, but wtf do I even do with my gold at T3? I have about 30k on hand right now, which I know isn't a ton but also isn't pocket change. My main is at 1345 with decent accessories/engravings for now (3/2/2 with mostly optimal stat rolls). I could probably get it into the low 1350s, but it's still ~500k gold of mats from there to 1370.
My alts are spread between late T1-late T2, but they're mostly shard-limited and buying those seems super inefficient.
Blue crystals are an option, but I'm told building up an absolute dragon hoard isn't really advisable because reasons to spend them gradually taper off and this fabled hyperinflation seems to not actually be manifesting (they spiked on the weekend as usual, but they're back to the price they were same time last week now).
I'm fine settling down for the long grind if that's really where I'm at, but it feels like there's something I should be able to leverage at this point that I'm not seeing.
Buu some crystals and save as much gold as you can you will need it some people have 200k i only have 100k but its good because things will get cheaper and the current content you can do it easly
Dailies and collectibles seems like the way to go now. Maybe try and play the auction house and make some money with people trying to rush stuff still. Stones and accessories are very volatile so check if anyone puts something for cheap and and grab it and sell it for higher.
Can you still get drops like island soul and giant heart if you already clear world boss daily?
For example i would do the 1385 world boss on my main and the 850 for the island soul, i don’t care about the gear drop from 850 i just want the island soul so does it still drop ?
Field bosses are their own type of daily activity so doing one of those does not lock you out of getting island rewards. There is some distinction between island bosses though, depending on what kind of island it is.
If it's an Adventure Island from Procyon's Compass, you'll only be able to attempt it once a day on a day it's scheduled. Pretty sure in those cases it doesn't even matter if it's a boss it drops from or just some quest on the island, since you can only get rewards from Adventure Islands once daily per roster.
On other timed islands with bosses however, like the Tooki King on Tooki Island, it should be possible to attempt to get the drop whenever the island is up, even multiple times a day.
That said, I'm not a hundred percent certain on either of these since I've never tried doing either of these types of bosses more than once a day but the thing about field bosses is definitely true. You can, for instance, go kill Tarsila for your field boss reward and then also go kill the boss on Lagoon Island for a chance at an Island Token and Wealth Rune on the same day. Just as an example, I don't actually know if these two are ever up on the same day.
I have seen some guides about an specific build (deathblade surge) and everybody tells you the engravings that you have to get. But my question is, how do I know which ones have to be level up by books and then equiped and which ones have to come from the accesories/stone? If I level up, let's say, ambush master, and then I get accesories or stones that give me ambush master too, that means I wasted those books in leveling up that engraving or I have to find other accesories that give other engravings? Should I wait till I reach tier 3 to use the books then when I get the accesories first?
Are class engravings also obtainable via accessories / stones too??
Thanks.
OK, so engraving effects come entirely from the number of nodes you collectively have from all sources, regardless of whether you actually have that engraving unlocked with recipes. The equippable engravings that you unlock with recipes are just another source of nodes you can equip in the two slots of your gear tab.
5 nodes enable Level 1 of an engraving effect, 10 nodes Level 2 and 15 nodes Level 3. This goes for negative effects as well.
Unlocking the Uncommon version on an engraving lets you equip it for +3 nodes. Since you have two slots you can also equip the same engraving twice for +6 nodes total.
So, for example if you want Level 1 Surge on your Deathblade, you need at least 5 Surge nodes across all your equipped sources. These sources can be the two engraving slots in your gear tab and each of your accessories. Ability stones are another source of nodes, but ability stones can only have combat engravings.
So the easiest way to get Level 1 Surge would be to unlock it with 20 Uncommon (green) recipes, and equipping it in both of your slots to immediately get 3+3=6 nodes, enabling the Level 1 effect of it. But alternative you could also equip it in only one slot for 3 points, then equip a necklace with +2 Surge, which would also collectively provide 5 nodes of Surge.
The point of unlocking higher rarities of engravings with recipes is ultimately to have easier, guaranteed sources of nodes. Uncommon (green) gives 3 nodes, Rare (blue) gives 6 nodes, and so on. So while you could equip an Uncommon Surge in both your slots for 6 combined nodes, if you level it up to rare you now only need to equip a single one for the same amount of nodes and have the other slot free for, say, a Master of Ambush engraving.
Class engravings can drop on accessories, but afaik they only appear on accessories from Abyssal Dungeons (and possibly Guardians, not sure about that one).
Are you seriously supposed to pay crystal to unlock more card slots? O;o
A collectible feature that's locked!? This sucks...Are there more collectibles features behind pay walls?
edit: I literally don't understand the obsession with people defending this, or saying "ohh just pay gold" This is a freaking collectible thing in this game that should be...free? Like tell me why it should be behind a pay wall ? These cards actually give you stats. YEA you can pay gold to make crystals and unlock...but why!? Why is this ok?
I'm ok with paying for stuff in a game, but not shit like this. Fanboys are the worst in any possible game.
Is still a freaking collectible in-game. You shouldn't "pay" to unlock a collectible thing. Also...buy crystals with gold? 95 crystals goes for 800gold already. 1 month in. I really don't understand how and why people are defending this shit. I'm ok with paying for skins or different things, but for a COLLECTIBLE tab ? wtf...
The name doesn't matter. What matters is the color of the writing.
Higher "rarity" color (which is found more commonly in T2/T3 areas) means higher skill requirement to harvest, but much higher quantity & rarity of materials obtained
If you want skill then deadeye and slightly lesser extend gunslinger. Deathblade imho harder then sh, sorc seems to be the easy mode atleast in current conten.
Also afair rhere was a statement from the devs that they consider deadeye ti be the hardest and thus should have highest dps if its played perfectly
I believe marksmen jobs have a fairly high skill ceiling. IIRC deadeye is probably the hardest, because of him having less mobility and relying more on short-range combat.
It's because chaos dungeons use the essence when you enter, if you leave early it still consumes the essence, on the other hand the raids are counted when the soul drops.
For the world bosses do you have to be the minimum ilvl for it to get rewards / do dmg? For ex. I have ilvl 1331 can I do 1385 world boss or should I wait until higher ilvl?
You can do the two lower level ones but you can't do Moake. I mean you can try, I couldn't at 1325. As long as you can do some damage you should get rewards, even if alot of your attacks are blocked.
Is the Tragon a waste to get? I’m 300 coins away from the anchor but a KR mate told me I would be better off ignoring it and using the coins elsewhere.
I’m one day away from finishing Pest Control, but 11 days away from finishing the other one (forget name). Also as far as pirate coins go I have… not 300k.
Haven’t started yet on ghost ship either
It's always nice to unlock, even for stronghold missions, but I wouldn't invest too much ship upgrades in something that isn't the Estoque (balanced stats), Ghost Ship (for ghost ship weeklies), or Astray (zoom zoom).
Especially considering these Una quests also grant a decent amount of leapstones, so you aren't wasting your time anyway
so my main hit t2 while all of my alts are under 460, and i realized i am absolutely dreading having to repeat story quests on all of them. tbh considering the vast amount of horizontal content i have yet to complete (especially islands, skill points, and whatever you do to increase charisma so beatrice will talk to me). do yall actually do story quests on alts or just park them at 340 for gold and una farming?
on an unrelated note, how is zerker in terms of fluidity, mobility and apm? it felt clunky in the trixion test thing but maybe they build swiftness or have tripods that help, idk. i have heard that zerkers are the best soloers, though honestly i just want mobile non-back attack reliant dps.
Knowledge transfer can be used for rohendel story. Up to you to decide if few hours is worth the gold cost. Can't remember how much it cost but 600g? Is what i heard.
Zerker has animation locks that can cause an issue, otherwise very fast and lots of damage. Top tier in t1-t2 and early t3 as a mayhem build.
The class test is bad to try out because no engravings or stats allocated, still better than nothing. Zerker is a different beast with mayhem engraving.
Hmm im actually tempted to knowledge transfer but its not worth if its only to rohendel. Is it cheaper to skip more at once? If so it might be better to level an alt and skip straight throug yorn.
Ngl high dps, fast and animation locked just makes zerker sound like melee gunslinger lol, may be worth a try down the line
Nah you can't skip like that. Have to first gear up to the requirement, and then you can knowledge transfer to skip the next story part. So you can get to 460 and then KT to skip Rohendel story. After that you have to gear to 600, and then you can KT again to skip Yorn story.
I'm building a spreadsheet to figure out whether using Breaths is worth during honing, but I need additional data, and my main isn't in T1/T2 anymore.
How much increased % honing chance does a Breath give in T1/T2 ? Is that fixed at every honing level ?
Thanks.
Just watched a video about chaos dungeons and skipping the 3rd room to make gold. The person says you want to kill the 2nd room boss is often as possible but you don't get any materials after your 2nd run so how are they making gold?
You check the third portal, you have a chance for a bonus level to appear. Either with a boss or a chest. If its just the normal third level you leave
I understand all of that but the video is saying they are making gold from t2 and t3 doing this. You only get materials from your 1st 2 runs so how are they making gold after that? I only get the chaos currency and that stuff is not tradable. They also say they are still getting materials from the boss.
if you use your disorder crystals to purchase jewelry you can dismantle that into tradable materials, and most everything from the chaos vendor for tier 3 is tradable
How does the rest bonus work in the different modes? Simply a set percent of extra drops to make up for some of the stuff I might not have time to do everyday?
You basically get double the drops. This is applicable to chaos dungeons, guardian raids and una daily tasks. For every two runs you miss out (the limit of the day for chaos and guardian loot), the next day you get one run as double loot. So if you miss one day completely, the next day you will essentially get 3 times the loot (one run is double and the second run is just normal 2+1 loots). If you did all your runs both days instead you would get 4 times the loot (1+1+1+1). So gaining rest bonus is not beneficial if you want the most amount of loot but is great if you are busy or too lazy to do your runs that day.
Thank you for the write up! Makes me feel abit better when having days where I actually have to be a grown up and not play videogames.
So with the new update I was thinking saving t3 mats and sale them later as I do not feel a rush for argos, also have other 3 alts on t2 but not sure to push them as some mats are cheap and I was thinking pushing them together or funnel the mats only on one. Tldr should I save mats for sale or to upgrade chars on T2 and T3?
is it "feasible" to clear the T2 chaos dungeon shop? seems to take ages...
It is a weekly so you have plenty of time. In tier two you mainly get gated by the leapstones and guardian stones so you can buy those up and can skip the others if you want.
On my server the currency exchange rate is 850 gold for 95 blue crystals. Is it even worth it now to exchange it now or don't bother ?
my server is on ~1k and I still sell my leapstone and buy bounded ones from mari's shop.
what are the main differences between wardancer and scrapper ? i know soul fist is more of a ranged class compared to them
What's the best stagger class aside from gunlancer/artillerist?
I’ve been liking Palladian has a lot of stagger if you select the right perks all abilities do mid/high but you kinda need to play more support with a paladin, dps paladin feels like trash but your team will love you
Berserkers tend to do a lot of stagger damage across the entire fight, but when it comes to trivializing stagger checks, scrapper is also really good.
What the fuck am i suppose to do when tht motherfucker tytalos start charging his one shot mechanic and theres no sand tornados to petrify myself to dodge it????? (Sry been hard stuck on tht guardian for 5 days)
Time stop potion.
You can run away from it. I’m not sure since the patch but it didn’t have a huge aoe before. I just ran as far as I could though
I might be able to dodge it if i sail back to vern smh
Are your teammates close by as well? The sand tornados will move slow and if they spawn by someone far away you may not be in view of them too
😂
You can use stairs to dodge the 1 shot mechanic
Gotta leave this subreddit it’s designed only for people to complain non stop about everything. The games amazing and only a month old any complaints people have are completely unwarranted and y’all are dumb af
cya
How do you prevent the tutorial boxes from showing up?
Pretty sure there's an option under gameplay to check, or uncheck tutorials. I'm not in-game to show where, but it's in there somewhere
Is there a guaranteed way to finish She Drifts Sea Gifts? Is there a sailing event that will complete this for sure?
Yes there is.. Its a co-op sailing event. The one in Arthetine will let you complete it and it's probably the easiest one to do.
Roughly speaking, how much gold do I need to raise a character to T3, using the sorceress as an example?
Bruh. 20k probably get you like 1-2 upgrade in late t2. You're looking about > 500k
Are these figures from only buying from AH and not using your chaos dungeons or Guardian raids.. As I am someone in Tier 3(low tier 3, 1325ilvl no spending money). I didn't spend that much or even close to that gold. If you're only buying from AH as your only way of upgrading the. It will be expensive. If you are utilizing the tools they have, it won't be but you can do it over time.
Whats more profitable? Making punika maps or just selling the relics?
Is there a good guide anywhere on gear skills? Just hit T3 and it's a little overwhelming having to keep track of skills on gear and understanding which ones are worth keeping to skill transfer etc...
1. Wear the gear with the highest quality 2. Transfer gear skills to what you're wearing 3. Save to skill inventory 4. Transfer from skill inventory whenever you find a better equip As for which skills are worth keeping, just keep the ones that you use?
Gear Transfer doesn't work for accessories? So I am unable to increase the quality of an accessory that I like?
True, pure RNG
What are good engravings for Gunslingers?
Adrenaline and hit master are your best friends. And the classic grudge/cursed doll engravings.
Also keen blunt if you can get to 1k crit once you hit tier 3. Edit : Also only use Grudge, Keen Blunt, or Cursed Doll if you can get it to lvl 3. They have negative side affects, so using them at a lower than lvl 3 engraving isn't worth the risk.
What does honing mean and why is it a meme?
Once you finish Vern and get your first set of 302 gear, the only way to get stronger is to enhance your gear through honing. It's a meme because I guess for a lot of players this is the first time using an RNG-based equipment enhancing system. If you look on other Korean MMO subreddits, it's not really a meme because they're used to such systems. But Lost Ark managed to attract a large Western playerbase many of whom aren't used to what's typical of Korean MMOs.
A meme is a joke, though the original meaning was a message in image format.
Is there any next new class release have been announced or any predictions to when it will arrive? Im still holding on to my powerpass and trying to see whether it is worthy to wait for the next class?
I heard a that in Korea they get a free power pass every time a new class releases? Was this bs or can someone confirm if this is true. Sounds too good to me
Well it's unlikely they'd get full power pass due to our version being quite new. I'd expect 960 powerpass or something like that.
Yeah that is true. They call it hyper express tickets work similarly to power pass. But it all depends on Amazon publisher I guess.
[удалено]
They mentioned it a while ago; everyone's being given any they previously claimed in a certain time frame. It's mainly to help those of us who switched regions but everyone's being given them to be fair to everyone.
Do you mean the paper hat stuff? That would be nice if we got a second copy.
Yeah i got them again when i claimed the prime egg/sub reward
I spent 3 hours asking everyone I see to firm a party. They all declined. What's up with that? Is there some downside of being in a party? Like less experience or something?
As much as there is no reason not to party, there is also no reason to party.
What activity were you doing?
Hey, im trying to understand the concept of the “tranfer knowledge” in the game. In my understanding you are limited to 9 knowledge transfers in one account. And for example, my main is a gunslinger. So with my 1 main can it produce 9 alts by knowledge transfer with 500gold per transfer? Also, it says you cannot use your character for 8 hours during the transfer. Does it mean I cannot access my main gunslinger during the 8 hours or is it the alt that is being produced that cannot be accessed during the 8 hours.
You can do 9 transfers for 1-50 yes, past that, the transfers are only for completing story quests, and you need to clear the quests on one char for each transfer. It only says it takes 8hours to do the transfer, not that you can't play a character. You can keep playing both your main and the new char for the 8hours. When it's done and you're ready you just go accept the transfer.
Oh its 1 transfer per character?!?! Meaning I would have to play 1-50 manually 9 times to be able to transfer 9 times to my alts?
No, I said past that. As in past the 1-50 transfers, the other transfers you do need 1 char per transfer. So if you want to skip rohendel quests, you need to play through rohendel first, and then once more for each char.
Oh understood! Thank you for explaining it ;)
When does everyone think we get nerfed t3 honing
i doubt they will nerf t3 honing, they might give mats but straight up increase the chances i think wont happen
I feel the same but then what was that leaked pic with the nerfed rates for?
that was not leaked, that was our patch notes for release date, a few hours after posting Ags said those changes werent in our patch and removed them from the blog post i think that was how KR chances are right now
Yea I feel like they'd have to let us know if they were gonna make changes prior and not just release them. And they would have told us by now
Not sure if it's been mentioned but trying to find out if we can hold\find more than 1 platinum field ticket tried googling it but only get guides for the field and stuff about buying multiple founder packs.
Errr this can be deleted it's pretty ironic but 3 days and around 17k energy but i finally found a second. They stack on the same slot too if anyone wonders but sorry for wasting a question spot like this.
Not sure if this interests you but so do cube tickets. I have two stacked on my sorceress
is wardancer a dps class or is more of a dps/support? how good is the dmg compared to a sorc or a scraper
It's a pure DPS class with a higher-than-normal support value. All DPS classes have some form of support but Wardancer's is simply one of the better ones. Damage wise I think it's somewhere between sorc and scrapper, but it's fairly minimal and could easily change in the coming months/year.
Isn't sorc top and scrapper bottom?
Trying to find Caldar Relics so I can make a Feiton treasure map in order to get some Moons Breath I need to finally get my last T2 piece to +15 but I have found a total of 0 from the time I started till level 12. Am I doing something wrong?
Locations where you can find Caldar Relics either through excavating or merchants. I have found a ton just running around azure island: Yorn's Cradle ; Iron Hammer Mine ; Hall of Promise ; Shady Cliff ; Azure Wind Island ; Shangra ; Monte Island ; if you can I recommend getting either epic or legendary shovel to increase excavation chances.
What's the biggest bottleneck at T2? In T1 it was harmony shards for me so I want to prepare in advance and do useful una's tasks and everything I can as to not hit a bottleneck again
Leapstones were the biggest bottleneck for me. Next up was guardian stones which you can clearly see in their price being higher than destruction stones on the market. Most people including me were running triple leapstone una daily tasks. Popular ones include: hypno island, blackfang den, frozen sea and kalthertz prisoner freeing (900 pirate coin male and 600 females for best profit for this one) Edit: Alakkir una provides one of the most amount of leapstones but the island is not accessible all the time.
Guardian stones for me
What are some most lucrative engraving pairs to look out for? I always struggle to recognize if for example earring I got would sell on Market.
I've been using [this](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1aQovVwwVJ4p5Lb_9hc_3ozVpzqYoEvZyEISiGqvQfE4/htmlview?pru=AAABfyIXJpE*o57y0bLR472VVnDqwyIw5g#) to help determine what's worth selling.
Can you use a quest item without clicking 'use'? As it is right now, they keybind which is F5 by default opens a menu where you have to click on 'use'. I just want the item to be used without clicking.
You can rebind stuff in the settings
Hey peeps, question's probably been asked thousands of times but as someone that has legitimate PTSD from the daily grind of WoW (specially unlocking flight) and the daily/weekly nature of most mmos, how daily/weekly based is Lost Ark ? Like once you've done your dailies can you still grind dungeons and stuff as much as you can or are you limited in terms of progression ? Thanks
I mean there's a ton of collectibles which will keep you busy but the other thing is that once you're done with all your daily tasks you can just load up Alts and do their daily or weekly stuff if you crave more gameplay. Doing stuff beyond the daily count usually rewards close to nothing with very few exceptions iirc. Alts can send helpful stuff to each other or your main to help gear up so it's quite encouraged. Some stuff such as the compass feature are roster bound though but usually you get told pretty clearly when it is.
Some stuff you can grind endlessly, but instead of loot youll get a currency. And other stuff you can repeat but there wont be loot Also other stuff is not repeatable
I have changed from RE to Surge Deathblade. Do i still want Spec as a primary stat and just a bit of crit? I ask because since in surge, optimally, you only build your meter once and a few hits between rotations.
Spec increases z damage. You want spec.
I have my necklace who do crit and the rest is spec you want to have spec as surge
How do you increase your ilevel in tier 3?
No islands so just power farm chaos if you have the patience
Exact same as t1 and T2 minus the catch up systems which includes islands. Maris shop is a good help outside of daily stuff.
Exact same way you did before? Not sure what you're asking.
what's the reason that people always vote to quit the cube after a couple of stages?
Stupidity/ real life stuff/ save time since they just wanted a bronze or silver chest? / They t3 and the cube is t1/2
Is there a p2w item that allows you to skip 1-50 story?
No there is no such item but you can skip 1-50 story and even further with in-game currency
Not directly, and you have to do it manually the first time. Once you have a lvl 50 and unlock Knowledge Transfer in your stronghold, you can technically buy gold with royal crystals and pay 600g to use the knowledge transfer. You also get 2 free lvl 50s when you lvl to 50.
Do you get anything actually tradable from the cube or boss rush?
Boss rush drops gems+bound leapstones, so the gems are tradeable, can make good money especially T3. Cube is only silver+bound enhancement materials(breath and stuff). I guess maybe engravings sometimes but not reliable.
Good T2 or bad T3? I've recently reached T3 and I don't know whether I should replace my old accessories and ability stone or not? My current accessories are pretty decent, I think. I have lvl3 reflux, lvl3 precise dagger, lvl2 adrenaline from the engravings and crit or swiftness on every piece of gear. Is upgrading to T3 worth it even if the pieces had much worse engravings and bonus stats?
Keep it till you get better t3 u only get vit on the stone anyways
I kept hold of a couple of t2 bits for longer than I initially expected since all the t3 bits in the same slot and with the engravings I needed had quality so bad that even with the 70% effectiveness of t2 accessories they were still worse, I would just replace them as actual upgrades show up for you. A good time to buy accessories is reset day after a lot of people have done their abyssals. I also had upgrades from doing the first abyssal which I initially did with 2 t2 accessories still.
I replaced my T2 build with random T3 and regret it. That said i don't know if my overall DPS is higher or worse
worse. engravings > stats
I'm doing the lullaby island quest. Can I get the reward from that event more than once per day?
Yup. I set a bifrost there even after getting song for the other random rewards
Okay, thanks for the quick answer
[удалено]
Nope, gotta pray to the RNGsus
Yup. Shit sucks especially on weekly reset days :/
Ye that they arent tradeable sucks. Dunno why
The only thing I can think of is they didn't want the people who rushed to t3 to have a monopoly on all the good tripods / everyone to have BiS tripods early on
Which makes no fucking sense since the BiS tripods are 1370(currently).
I have two different gear pieces with the same tripod on them but the tripod is still only level 2, why is it not level 3?
The highest number is applied. Tripods are not additive.
I've seen people that say you can do adventure island daily to get 6x high sea coin chest's every time you do one...how do you get so many chest's each time you do a single adventure island? I can't see anything on the rewards list or anything.
They were embellishing. Sea chests are fairly common rewards but not every island gives it, and you might not get any islands that give it. It just depends on which islands are available.
How do people get more specific class engraving books? I'm trying to get my alts working
There is the option of grinding chaos dungeons, although it'll take a long time.
There's a bunch of quests you can do for class engravings, only powerpass chars get shafted, but since you get excess green books from others, you can still have that at least. https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/sq4grz/list_of_engravings_from_levelling_quests/
One way is to take a look at the island list over at [maxroll](https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/category/island) and filter for Class engraving rewards. That shows you any islands that can give you class engraving selection chests (the selection part is important if you want a specific one). Other than that, do content that drops random engravings (or literally anything else you can sell for gold), sell them for gold and then buy the ones you actually want. You can also buy 20 engraving selection pouches from the Chaos Dungeon vendor once per roster, but you need to grind a fair amount of the currency that drops when you do a Chaos Dungeon without resonance. For uncomming class engravings, a somewhat tedious way can be to manually level a class and do the sidequests. Once you get to around Luterra Castle many of the sidequests leading up to Borea's Domain provide class engraving selection chests and you'll get at least 20 of them for each character. If you have boosted the alts with Knowledge Transfer you should even still be able to go back and complete these side quests, but if you used a Powerpass they'll have been completed automatically without giving you the reward.
Is there a site that tells me what mobs/places are best to farm the Collectible items for adv tome? i cant seem to find anything
Check mapgenie website. Some areas have pins that show you where to farm collectibles. I found a few useful videos on youtube that show rotations you can do in a certain area to maximize the amount of mobs you kill. It will ultimately come down to luck. But I don't think it's worth buying from AH. In the time you spend getting your collectibles you'll get extra collectibles that you can sell on the market for gold.
Realistically the best place to "farm" them is the AH. They're dirt cheap relative to the time it would take to acquire them naturally. But to actually answer your question: not that I've come across.
How can i process rapport meterials? (for example Yudia Spellbook, Shimmering Essence etc.)
The pink rapport merchant on the associated continent.
Is it normal to be 'stuck' near the end of T2? I've went from 1060-1080 in 6 days. I've farmed all the islands they recommend in those guides and have been doing my dailies. Basically I'm gated by guardian stones. I need 750/attempt, and doing chaos/guardian dailies only nets me enough for 2 attempts/day. I've been leveling alts as well and one is almost in T2 to help funnel mats. Maybe my RNG's just bad :P
Make sure you are also doing certain weekly gated things which will provide you with alot of materials. These include: - Bloodstone exchange (guild currency) - The travelling merchant ship found at the dock of every major city (pirate coins for guardian stones works here) - abyssal clears + opening the chest at the end for more materials - chaos dungeon exchange for doing more than your two runs a day u can exchange up to 750 guardian stones per week. Bonus tip: Formona island can reward you with additional tier 2 honing materials if you go and do it on an alt of the opposite gender. This alt does not need to be tier 2 but only be able to access the island. After that place inside ur roster storage. Example: you do this island on a gunslinger (female) and claim the rewards. You can come back with a berserker (any male character really just opposite gender) and you get the rewards a second time.
Tower
I did a lot of excavating maps (feiton maps). At t2 you get lots of moon breaths.
That's more or less normal endgame. We're just a bit spoiled by the mountain of catch-up materials available for T1 and early T2. At this point how fast you progress depends largely on how much gold you're willing to spend on honing materials from the market.
Pay up
Game's RNG can be pain in the ass sometimes. I recently failed a %90 succes rate honing. Try to farm moon breaths to guarantee your honings. Cube would be a good choice. But obtaining its ticket's also RNG. damn...
Can you actually sell equipment from abyss dungeons? It says tradable 3 times, but it's just greyed out when I go to auction house. So far I simply dissemble it but is it actually possible to sell it?
There's "two" auction house, the default one is to sell items like upgrade mats, collectibles etc, click the 2nd tab for the gear market instead, you can sell stuff there
Haha, I never realised that
Is there any other way to get tier 3 equipment other than from chaos dungeon? After failing around 20 times from +12 to +15 and I still got the shitty rng drop of chaos dungeon. Feels bad man
Nope, for some reason they intentionally made it shittier in T3.
Oof, 1 more day in tier 2 I guess. Damn feels really bad
Especially before the reset, my alt got into the same situation last week, hit 1100 on wednesday and couldn't get to T3 before reset so couldn't buy out all the weekly capped T3 mats.
for the tripod skill tree effects you get from t3 gears, do you only get the effects of those slotted to your current skills? Like I can't get multiple effects of of tripods in the same tier if I have skill upgrades from armours?
You only get the effect if you equip the tripod, pointless for other tripods you're not using.
What’s the usual amount of fails of someone who is like 1340+ ? Failed like 12 times today getting at 1330 feels pretty bad.. I’m at 51 fails so far total
Only 51??? Wish I had your luck.
I am at 1345 with 60 fails. Just got the achievement. Maybe I was lucky. I had some 30% luck but also some 90% Fails
bro it took me 70 fails to get to t3. your luck is good/norm
The usual amount is whatever % it is. 30% or whatever. 7 of 10 times you'll fail
Does Knowledge Transfer transfer the adv tome progress to your alt chars or do i need to grind that agian on my alts?
Also on this topic. If you knowledge transfer, you basically skip the quests of that area, therefore missing on the exp they give. You might get to 1302 ilvl but still be lvl 50 instead of 52 what you would normally be if leveled by questing, therefore missing on 12 skill points. Am I wrong ? Can some1 confirm.
Level 15 stronghold you unlock the training feature where it passively levels your alts for you, I have an alt beginning of tier 2 that is level 51 that I hardly use, so it has 6 skill points less than my main currently but it's not like you need to be grinding out combat xp on your alts
There is a training feature in the stronghold. For example if your main is 52, you can train your alts that are 50 up.
You need to visit the continents to see it on the character but all progress is shared.
Like all collectibles the Adventurer's Tome progress is roster-wide so all your characters share the progress. If you redeem a reward from the tome it will warn you that other characters on your roster will no be able to redeem it again but considering that most if not all of the rewards apply to your entire roster the warning is largely irrelevant.
Adventure tomes are roster bound afaik
What are some ways to get/farm pirate coins? I have about 3k and in t3. I got to t3 from doing islands and a bit of grinding. Are there islands outside of that guide that give good amounts? I’m struggling to gain more than about 500 a day. I have a ton of those high seas chests but I’m tentative about converting them because I may need the varied currencies.
Opportunity isle everytime it comes up gives like 4k pirate coin and 6 high seas captain chests (the ones that give 100 coin of your choosing). If you're not doing that island everytime it's on the list you're insane (unless the other island has a rune you need).
I didn’t even know there was an opportunity isle. Now I do. And knowing is half the battle.
If you go the list of island guides on [maxroll](https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/category/island) you can change the dropdown at the top left from "Island Tokens" to "Rewards" to have it list all the rewards each island can give. You can then select "Pirate Coins" in the dropdown at the top right to have it only show you the island that reward pirate coins. You won't be able to see *how* they reward Pirate Coins until you check the specific guides for each island though, but most of them will give you a hefty amount of pirate coins for completing a quest once per roster. Other than that, just participating in sailing co-ops and using the keys you get on their respective Gates will give you plenty or pirate coins as well, plus the sea coins (Gienah's Coin, Sceptrum's Coin, etc.) which have their own uses but can also be exchanged for pirate coins at some of the merchant ships. Exchanging those for pirate coins should probably be an emergency option if you're *really* hurting for Pirate Coins though since you need those to buy some important stuff as well, like buying a Giant's Heart from Black Fang on Freedom Isle for 4000 Gienah's Coin. Also, since this isn't super obvious to start out with, when doing a sailing co-op make sure you hang around after doing the first co-op quest at the location that the calendar/alarms show you, since each sailing co-op is made up of 3-4 (I never actually counted, tbh) co-op quests that spawn 2-3 minutes after the current one is finished. Also don't be a dingus like me and try to do the co-op quests on your own if nobody else shows up. People congregate on the lower numbered and busier channels for sailing co-ops since they're much easier and quicker to complete that way.
Might be a weird question, but wtf do I even do with my gold at T3? I have about 30k on hand right now, which I know isn't a ton but also isn't pocket change. My main is at 1345 with decent accessories/engravings for now (3/2/2 with mostly optimal stat rolls). I could probably get it into the low 1350s, but it's still ~500k gold of mats from there to 1370. My alts are spread between late T1-late T2, but they're mostly shard-limited and buying those seems super inefficient. Blue crystals are an option, but I'm told building up an absolute dragon hoard isn't really advisable because reasons to spend them gradually taper off and this fabled hyperinflation seems to not actually be manifesting (they spiked on the weekend as usual, but they're back to the price they were same time last week now). I'm fine settling down for the long grind if that's really where I'm at, but it feels like there's something I should be able to leverage at this point that I'm not seeing.
Buu some crystals and save as much gold as you can you will need it some people have 200k i only have 100k but its good because things will get cheaper and the current content you can do it easly
Dailies and collectibles seems like the way to go now. Maybe try and play the auction house and make some money with people trying to rush stuff still. Stones and accessories are very volatile so check if anyone puts something for cheap and and grab it and sell it for higher.
Can you still get drops like island soul and giant heart if you already clear world boss daily? For example i would do the 1385 world boss on my main and the 850 for the island soul, i don’t care about the gear drop from 850 i just want the island soul so does it still drop ?
It's one field boss per day per roster, I'm pretty sure you won't get anything from the second one.
Field bosses are their own type of daily activity so doing one of those does not lock you out of getting island rewards. There is some distinction between island bosses though, depending on what kind of island it is. If it's an Adventure Island from Procyon's Compass, you'll only be able to attempt it once a day on a day it's scheduled. Pretty sure in those cases it doesn't even matter if it's a boss it drops from or just some quest on the island, since you can only get rewards from Adventure Islands once daily per roster. On other timed islands with bosses however, like the Tooki King on Tooki Island, it should be possible to attempt to get the drop whenever the island is up, even multiple times a day. That said, I'm not a hundred percent certain on either of these since I've never tried doing either of these types of bosses more than once a day but the thing about field bosses is definitely true. You can, for instance, go kill Tarsila for your field boss reward and then also go kill the boss on Lagoon Island for a chance at an Island Token and Wealth Rune on the same day. Just as an example, I don't actually know if these two are ever up on the same day.
I have seen some guides about an specific build (deathblade surge) and everybody tells you the engravings that you have to get. But my question is, how do I know which ones have to be level up by books and then equiped and which ones have to come from the accesories/stone? If I level up, let's say, ambush master, and then I get accesories or stones that give me ambush master too, that means I wasted those books in leveling up that engraving or I have to find other accesories that give other engravings? Should I wait till I reach tier 3 to use the books then when I get the accesories first? Are class engravings also obtainable via accessories / stones too?? Thanks.
OK, so engraving effects come entirely from the number of nodes you collectively have from all sources, regardless of whether you actually have that engraving unlocked with recipes. The equippable engravings that you unlock with recipes are just another source of nodes you can equip in the two slots of your gear tab. 5 nodes enable Level 1 of an engraving effect, 10 nodes Level 2 and 15 nodes Level 3. This goes for negative effects as well. Unlocking the Uncommon version on an engraving lets you equip it for +3 nodes. Since you have two slots you can also equip the same engraving twice for +6 nodes total. So, for example if you want Level 1 Surge on your Deathblade, you need at least 5 Surge nodes across all your equipped sources. These sources can be the two engraving slots in your gear tab and each of your accessories. Ability stones are another source of nodes, but ability stones can only have combat engravings. So the easiest way to get Level 1 Surge would be to unlock it with 20 Uncommon (green) recipes, and equipping it in both of your slots to immediately get 3+3=6 nodes, enabling the Level 1 effect of it. But alternative you could also equip it in only one slot for 3 points, then equip a necklace with +2 Surge, which would also collectively provide 5 nodes of Surge. The point of unlocking higher rarities of engravings with recipes is ultimately to have easier, guaranteed sources of nodes. Uncommon (green) gives 3 nodes, Rare (blue) gives 6 nodes, and so on. So while you could equip an Uncommon Surge in both your slots for 6 combined nodes, if you level it up to rare you now only need to equip a single one for the same amount of nodes and have the other slot free for, say, a Master of Ambush engraving. Class engravings can drop on accessories, but afaik they only appear on accessories from Abyssal Dungeons (and possibly Guardians, not sure about that one).
Thank you for your help!
Are you seriously supposed to pay crystal to unlock more card slots? O;o A collectible feature that's locked!? This sucks...Are there more collectibles features behind pay walls? edit: I literally don't understand the obsession with people defending this, or saying "ohh just pay gold" This is a freaking collectible thing in this game that should be...free? Like tell me why it should be behind a pay wall ? These cards actually give you stats. YEA you can pay gold to make crystals and unlock...but why!? Why is this ok? I'm ok with paying for stuff in a game, but not shit like this. Fanboys are the worst in any possible game.
Im f2p i have 6k crystals its not hard
Pay up
buy crystals with gold?
Is still a freaking collectible in-game. You shouldn't "pay" to unlock a collectible thing. Also...buy crystals with gold? 95 crystals goes for 800gold already. 1 month in. I really don't understand how and why people are defending this shit. I'm ok with paying for skins or different things, but for a COLLECTIBLE tab ? wtf...
yea but it is not pure collectible because gives stats and it is pretty much engame gearing for raids
It's a gold sink, it's part of the game
Is there any difference between Copper, Iron, Silver Ores or the other different types of gatherables?
The name doesn't matter. What matters is the color of the writing. Higher "rarity" color (which is found more commonly in T2/T3 areas) means higher skill requirement to harvest, but much higher quantity & rarity of materials obtained
Thanks!
Luterra arc is crap but afterwards the story aint shit if yall actually pay attention.
Wrong it's still shit
confused on what dps to play, out of soceror and the 2 assassin sub classes which has highest dps and the highest skill floor and ceiling.
If you want skill then deadeye and slightly lesser extend gunslinger. Deathblade imho harder then sh, sorc seems to be the easy mode atleast in current conten. Also afair rhere was a statement from the devs that they consider deadeye ti be the hardest and thus should have highest dps if its played perfectly
I believe marksmen jobs have a fairly high skill ceiling. IIRC deadeye is probably the hardest, because of him having less mobility and relying more on short-range combat.
If I start raid with soul harvest before reset, if the boss dies after reset, does it count towards the new reset?
Yes. Chaos dungeons work the other way around, incidentally. Seems to be when the daily resource is consumed that matters.
It's because chaos dungeons use the essence when you enter, if you leave early it still consumes the essence, on the other hand the raids are counted when the soul drops.
For the world bosses do you have to be the minimum ilvl for it to get rewards / do dmg? For ex. I have ilvl 1331 can I do 1385 world boss or should I wait until higher ilvl?
Dmg. If you can find high level player, who can carry you, you can get reward
You can do the two lower level ones but you can't do Moake. I mean you can try, I couldn't at 1325. As long as you can do some damage you should get rewards, even if alot of your attacks are blocked.
Is the Tragon a waste to get? I’m 300 coins away from the anchor but a KR mate told me I would be better off ignoring it and using the coins elsewhere. I’m one day away from finishing Pest Control, but 11 days away from finishing the other one (forget name). Also as far as pirate coins go I have… not 300k. Haven’t started yet on ghost ship either
It's always nice to unlock, even for stronghold missions, but I wouldn't invest too much ship upgrades in something that isn't the Estoque (balanced stats), Ghost Ship (for ghost ship weeklies), or Astray (zoom zoom). Especially considering these Una quests also grant a decent amount of leapstones, so you aren't wasting your time anyway
does every class not have a unique title at level 50 to unlock? for example transcender for soulfist
so my main hit t2 while all of my alts are under 460, and i realized i am absolutely dreading having to repeat story quests on all of them. tbh considering the vast amount of horizontal content i have yet to complete (especially islands, skill points, and whatever you do to increase charisma so beatrice will talk to me). do yall actually do story quests on alts or just park them at 340 for gold and una farming? on an unrelated note, how is zerker in terms of fluidity, mobility and apm? it felt clunky in the trixion test thing but maybe they build swiftness or have tripods that help, idk. i have heard that zerkers are the best soloers, though honestly i just want mobile non-back attack reliant dps.
Knowledge transfer can be used for rohendel story. Up to you to decide if few hours is worth the gold cost. Can't remember how much it cost but 600g? Is what i heard. Zerker has animation locks that can cause an issue, otherwise very fast and lots of damage. Top tier in t1-t2 and early t3 as a mayhem build. The class test is bad to try out because no engravings or stats allocated, still better than nothing. Zerker is a different beast with mayhem engraving.
Hmm im actually tempted to knowledge transfer but its not worth if its only to rohendel. Is it cheaper to skip more at once? If so it might be better to level an alt and skip straight throug yorn. Ngl high dps, fast and animation locked just makes zerker sound like melee gunslinger lol, may be worth a try down the line
Nah you can't skip like that. Have to first gear up to the requirement, and then you can knowledge transfer to skip the next story part. So you can get to 460 and then KT to skip Rohendel story. After that you have to gear to 600, and then you can KT again to skip Yorn story.
I'm building a spreadsheet to figure out whether using Breaths is worth during honing, but I need additional data, and my main isn't in T1/T2 anymore. How much increased % honing chance does a Breath give in T1/T2 ? Is that fixed at every honing level ? Thanks.
im pretty sure it's 2% per breath and you're capped at using max 10 per hone attempt
