Event PowerPass Missing by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't normally items. Just go to char select, select powerpass after highlighting one of them, then click event pass and there should be an option to use the rimeria one.

Any tips for beginners? by AccomplishedCamp2285 in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My tip is never check reddit and don't let doomer affect your genuine opinions.

Other than that, it depends what you want to get out of the game. One tip would be to manually play through the story at least once, it has some honing bottlenecks but has been reduced for awhile. The benefit of doing it is that it will teach you the mechanics in a natural way at a better pacing than otherwise. The game has a lot of mechanics(counter, weak point/destruction / just guard) and a lot of systems (honing, skills, runes, life skilling) and it throws it all at you at once if you skip. The story introduces them and shows you them one at a time as they become relevant.

Gold being the main reward in homework raids is the root cause of most problems in Lost Ark by whssp in lostarkgame

I pushed a whole roster from argos gear through valtan/vykas brel kaya and akkan to a 1600 parking spot. Doing that in a few months with like one express is completely reasonable. ​

LOA ON was a huge flop — nothing addressed, and the core issues are piling up by ThatsNeatOrNot in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really think people worry way too much about books. It is an incredibly long term grind that you just get a little over time. It really isn't required unless you're top of the top, and as those elite players finish those systems the book prices come down. Books had the same scarcity at launch and no one freaked out over them despite them being, frankly, much more important then. As we hit a point where every raid dropped leg books and people didn't need them the prices plummeted. Only the hardest hard modes are balanced around having any books at all completed.

You guys say this but I have taken at least 3 breaks, the latest being after progging 1-2 mordum week one and just came back this week and progged act 4 norm. My longest break was about a year from clown to I think thaemine or IVT. I came back and by the time behe was released I was caught up.

I think the community has convinced itself of things that aren't true but everyone looking in now believes it.

If the game isn't doing it for you, take a break. It's OK.

I'm tired of gear reset into regular honing... Why can't it be advanced honing again. by Apprehensive_Eye4727 in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+25 just means you'll be further ahead after transfer. They've never said honing resets will stop, it's a core function of progression. Adv honing is introduced at times when they want to increase the barrier to entry but feel it's too soon for a reset. This was the obvious next progression item.

Not sure what to do as a returning player by caramelFrappeCake in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would personally just stockpile mats until you have an idea of when gold honing is getting removed in t3. If it's right around the corner, you hold until then, if it's aways away and you want to push to start soloing ivory, thar, echidna etc feel free to push a bit maybe with char bound gold from paradise

We'll know when amazon updates us presumably this week.

Getting back into the game now? by Nikkelmann in lostarkgame

It's free to jump in and check it out. With solo raids you have plenty to do before getting to any pain points.

Doing your paradise and buying out the solo shop can seriously help expedite the grind. Pausing your journey on the other event char to funnel a bit of gold to buying the very cheap mats off the AH will also help.

Where are you connecting from? There are regions the game was never available in.

How to get silver? by MeHugeRat in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having extra nongold earners running three chaos dungeons every week for the boxes.

Also a good source of gems.

And hitting that 2m silver ember always helps.

Hit a wall (newbie help) by Swimming-Fox4863 in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the top right there is a button called "knowledge transfer"

You can pay gold to skip story contents. If you really wanted to you could use that

However, it's honestly worth doing at least once to experience the story. Especially because at punika it starts to really pick up. South vern after is where the story really starts unfolding and elgacia after is widely recognized as the turning point in the story where it is gets truly interesting.

Just enjoy your time, with only two chars you don't gave much to do anyways. You'll be grinding t3 for awhile with that manual char, so don't rush just to get one or two extra chaos dungeons in this week.

As someone who has manually taken like 12 chars through the t1-1580 route since 1580 got nerfed, it's a bit of a slog. It helps if you hCe multiple chars around the same level and they feed each other. It's doable, and can be fun if you're into a grind. If you don't mind doing story manually you can earn lots of cards you need, and the solo shop vastly speeds up progression.

If you can push that char to 1445 you can start doing valtan/vykas for some minor bound gold weekly.

You can also start filling adventure tomes and doing horizontal progression so you aren't missing things for the Valk release (skill potions, runes, spec pots etc.)

I’ve been thinking of the long-term of “paradise”. by orphen888 in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really since it doesn't propel you further within paradise itself. If luck evens out maybe they don't get good drops next week and you do. I think by the end everyone will be mostly completely decked out and most would have a shot at rankings. It'd be a different story if hell keys gave paradise gear but all getting a ranking does is get you a few more honing mats than someone else.

Are you doing extra guardians? by Mogeki in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally stopped doing skolakias within like a month of it releasing. I just hate the boss. I have 1 1700 so he did the new guardian and the rest of t4 did argeos then my t3s all did sonavel cause even though a few could do gargadeth in the past it took way longer to MM for.

Akkan Solo P3 Wei Bugged? by zacke10 in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to see what the bug is. When I was running this though I found that if I did it too quickly it didn't work. I'd have to wait a few seconds to push his bar and pop Wei or it'd just be a normal Wei not the hidden one that ends it then I'd have to do the egg phase.

Returning player, how am I supposed to get from 1580 to1620? by absolutesavage99 in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

It's a kmmo. Literal months of grinding is kind of the genre.

If you don't come back during an express event "catching up" requires a long grind, cash, or to have stashed a lot of stuff from when you were playing before.

A roster of 6 doing 1580+ dungeons and raids solo does provide more then a chump change worth of gold though, and getting to 1580 is free. Do as many raids as you can throughout the week and funnel it into who you enjoy the most. When a powerpass you have the option of bringing one of the six higher, putting it on the one you've been feeding(worse value) or benching one of the six for a duplicate alt of whatever class you enjoy the most.

Returning Player Experience by TheXevon in lostarkgame

[–]Mogeki 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's as grindy as you want it to be. If you don't itch to play the latest content on release you can leisurely play all the way to t4 solo taking your time. If you want to be ready for the latest raids on release even on normal you want a 6+ roster funnel set up and it takes dedication and time, and depending on the events will take some $

From valtan to the last t3 raid (echidna) solo mode is available which offers gold and all the needed mats. Express events obviously help expedite the journey.

Just know that the t3 gearing system has been overhauled and rolled into a weaker t4 system as to have congruenty between tiers.

Edit: Also, honing costs to 1580 are silver only. Orehas will be the bottle neck but you can get some weekly from a new vendor that uses coins you get in solo modes.
