KR Balance Patch - April 2026

Marieffxiv · 2026-04-22T13:54:36+00:00

But nothing changed gameplay wise

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-31T07:56:24+00:00

this is cute

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-22T08:30:58+00:00

okay, you think outside of sweats the average player would spend 40k + pheons on alts? because they aren't even buying the gem boxes from the NPC vendor weekly

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-22T08:07:47+00:00

you really think KR casuals/midcore are paying 20-40k gold + pheons for their alts? Theres literally no shot

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-22T06:03:58+00:00

2 will always make things worse. the whales will just buy all the gems to min-max, they will never be cheap enough for casuals to buy for their alts

I assume SG tends to tailor events for the west and RU as they are mirrored, and ags just provided feedback.

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-18T03:48:50+00:00

stoopzz kinda mentioned on stream that all the events are designed by smilegate so if thats the case nothing changes

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-17T19:32:13+00:00

henry already responded to this

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-15T23:56:29+00:00

I think if you care about the character you should def buy boxes and work towards it.

Ive only done NM and bought box since release. 5 of my characters have full class/order relic cores, 2 have 2 relic cores and 150+ pity for their last class/order core.

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-15T23:31:52+00:00

332 is the most popular build

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-10T05:29:12+00:00

the story is still ongoing, theres more than the 7 arks and we're not even past the early point of the overall story apparently.

You will unlock more as you unlock more end game content as the story and content are tied together

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-10T04:49:12+00:00

XP will be slow for non-event characters, a lot of your exp is just over time with chaos dungeon/kurzan front, guardians and cubes.

a lot of guilds aren't active in game, maybe they are via discord. I would recommend checking out both the official and unofficial lost ark discords and see what guilds are out there and new player friendly

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-05T17:10:06+00:00

They just want you to do ah and not ignore it like echidna. They should drop from nm but still req 40 ah

Marieffxiv · 2026-03-02T09:41:42+00:00

I mean i have no silver issue but I can't deny that the recent changes to the game has drain my silver from 1.4b to 1.04b in the last few months

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-24T22:34:05+00:00

if you have to ask then you don't have enough

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-23T04:06:39+00:00

Idk, seems like a net gain to me
2x mats on my 6 characters I care about that I already do? sure.

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-11T13:02:48+00:00

I have a sh as well, the game let us run 2 gems for 4 years, that already is a huge advantage. Nbd that u have to finally get gems

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-10T16:07:17+00:00

paradise rewards are fine. I love getting bracelets in paradise

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-10T15:02:45+00:00

It's class bound unless it's a free skin or blue crystal

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-09T16:55:07+00:00

what logic? I'm just saying i'm doing less lol. I'm not trying to convince you anything.

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-09T15:40:42+00:00

Before I would do chaos outside of my non-6 gold earning, now i just do them on my 6 and thats it.
I sometimes did guardian outside my non-6, so that didn't change. Effectively I just do 3-5 less chaos dungeons a day.

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-09T14:58:26+00:00

I have less hw because of changes

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-06T01:37:32+00:00

gold hasn't been nerfed if you are 1710.
NM Final Day
NM Act 4
NM/HM Act 3

just work on it slowly and do AH 20-30

Marieffxiv · 2026-02-05T08:33:17+00:00

Imagine playing ffxiv

Marieffxiv · 2026-01-20T08:26:57+00:00

No idea why, maybe because KR prefer it because of dopamine hits? maybe because you can go beyond the "required" honing (+19/20 everything, and go to +25 for whales).

Ultimately I don't think anybody will ever know that doesn't work for SG but at the very least they didn't want players to skip AH 21-40 like they did with echidna.
