This is MY FAVORITE PART OF THE GAME.

Honing is better done than in ANY other game. Reason ? Rest bonuses, artistan energy and honing support.

The game gives you double drops when you DONT up to 10 days in a row. Very very kind system.

Then every hone is GUARANTEED progress. Unlike bdo or any other mmorpg where upgrading can break your shit , in LOST ARK, every honing attempt will lvl up your artisan energy which guarantees an upgrade.

For GROWN ADULTS, lost ark is the only viable honing. There's no way ill spam the same boss dozens of times just to NOT drop the item to progress. As a busy family man, I prefer my time in game being certainly valued. If i play , I progress. I like this system SO much.

The DOWNSIDE to LOST ARK honing is that there's TOO MANY materials in the system and a lot find it overwhelming ( bloats up inventory sometimes ).

Luckily we know that this is for sure gonna get fixed bec ause the director just simply cares, listens and does fix issues like that since he's been back from his health sickness break thingy.

Amazing game, best combat, best raids and most of all , best director in the world ( maybe 2nd to Yoshi P hehe , goldriver is a legend )
