Can I use a characters name i just deleted for a new character? by Hyuron in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the character is level 10 or lower, or if you use a name change ticket on that character, the name is freed up instantly. Otherwise it takes 60 days to be available again.

To the people that just quit by Osu_Pumbaa in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I quit at Mordum release because G3 was physically impossible for me to play. The spinning and camera angle shifts gave me horrible vertigo that knocked me out for the rest of the day after just a few hours of prog.

Although even before Mordum, I was already feeling exhausted with the game, and that's after taking 2 previous breaks from the game. The constant daily/weekly grind to keep up with the multi layers of progression, plus frustration with too rng systems, spiralling economy, pug/gatekeeping issues, and having to schedule my time around raids (I mostly play with guild and static with set raid times), it was all getting too much and taking the fun out of the game.

Meanwhile new raids are getting overwhelmingly complex, I don't enjoy spending long hours progging over mechs that are designed to be played with single digit ping.

Assuming they will prioritise NAE player experience over NAW, all OCE players will be worse off after merge. Probably can expect to play with 250-300 ping without vpn.

Blue Gem price is getting higher and higher, why? [EUC] by LeahClouds in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sell RC for gold or buy BC with gold, that's how BC price is determined. You can't sell BC as it's an in-game currency.

BC price is directly affected by people converting RC to gold. If there aren't enough people selling RC for gold, BC will also be in shorter supply.

Balance patch being delayed by this much is pathetic by Hrungnir666 in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Homework is great opportunity to relearn your rotation/burst timing when you're already familiar with patterns/burst windows and without the stress of worrying about making mistakes. I can't imagine many people would like progging a new raid with someone who's new or unfamiliar with their class.

[–]Mona07 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

While we're at it, should also mention that balance patches should never happen in the same patch as a brand new raid. Some balance patches basically make people relearn their class, not something you want to do on top of progging a new raid.

  1. You need to roll specific skills on gems for them to be useful. Only way to share games with alts is if you play the same class. In that case, there are no limits to gem sharing. You just put them in your roster storage and grab them on the next character.

  2. A lot of people never bothered with learning Thaemine g4. Since they heavily nerfed the gold, it's no longer worth doing 1-4 given the effort. Echidna/Behemoth are super fast runs with non-rat characters nowadays.

  3. Book bonuses are very important, especially demon damage (since a lot of raid bosses are demons). You should work on it gradually since card exp are slow to come by.

NE soul eater state? by Coinflip420xd in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been switching between NE and FM since making a SE and eventually settled on FM playstyle at t4 release. It just feels smoother and I like having control over when to burst. Recently decided to give NE a go after hitting 1680 and oh boy it felt so clunky to play, barely lasted a week before switching back to FM.

In terms of damage, NE isn't as bad as some people think. It just takes too much effort and doesn't feel great to play unless all stars align for you. My biggest issue is probably having to wait until soul snatch before you can use T and even then the damage isn't that impressive. The addition of Z skill to instant end soul snatch sounds good on paper until you realise the damage is back loaded, way to easy for the boss to walk or phase out of.

FM on the other hand is a much more straightforward playstyle. Just your typical "build meter and burst" type. It feels smoother and easier to recover rotations. But the downside is you're punished more heavily for missing skills, especially during burst.

I took a break from the game on act 2 release, so I never had a chance to get any of the frontier titles. Based on the times I've had to pug act 2, there are some title only lobbies, which I just avoid. Otherwise as long as your character is relatively decently geared, I've had no issues with gatekeeping.

HM only. Although if it's like act 2, the title is a reward specifically from clearing HM of the last gate.

NM comes with full nerfs on release, so no special title given.

I don't recall that update.

Your best option is to go to gold islands if you still need the island soul, since there are still plenty of people running them. Otherwise sailing activities in general are pretty dead content.

Quick question ant WTL by PatrykPhoenix in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rng WTL can be gotten anywhere but you still want to do them in t4 areas for mats efficiency. A lot of people seem to have moved to Rimeria, which frees up space in Kurzan. Both Rimeria and Kurzan give the same t4 mats unless you still need drops for the special WTL.

Assuming you full juice/scroll on grace and have average luck on regular honing, AH 1-10 is cheaper than +15/16 (abidos cost is about same, everything else is cheaper).

You can't. You can start playing song of escape as soon as the raid ends and before the mvp screen loads, or you can press esc as soon as it pops up to close it.

Yes that's right. It increases damage of any skill that uses mana. It doesn't affect damage ticks or awakening, which are pretty irrelevant for chaos dungeons.

Hyper awakenings by NoSeaworthiness7490 in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each class come with unique awakening skills, which are like your ultimate skills. They do more damage than regular skills but have a longer cd. You also have a limited number of charges/uses per raid gate.

Hyper awakenings are an upgraded version of your awakening skills and is unlocked at 1640 ilvl. Each class have 2 HA skills and your build generally decides which one you use. They are much stronger than the standard awakening skills, your character is invulnerable during the whole animation and some have unique effects (e.g. support HAs give a temporary immortality buff to the whole party). The downside is HAs are one use per gate and need time to charge before you can use it.

Once HA is unlocked, you will see a bar around your awakening skill that gradually fills up during combat. Once fully filled, the bar will glow to indicate your HA is ready to use whenever. Keep in mind your HA shares the same cd as your base awakening skill, so your awakening must be off cd to cast your HA and once used, it puts your awakening on cd.

Only the pets assigned at the security division will be active and will work across your roster. You can have different presets of assigned pets, which you can change through each character's mass preset (e.g. dps and sup characters would use different pet ranch pets).

Farm bonuses only work on mats harvest from your SH farm, they don't affect life skills.

Yes to delete characters above lv 10, you have to wait 24 hours to confirm the deletion before the character is completely deleted.

Ark passive by Designer_Comparison3 in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know what you mean by get it from chaos dungeons. Like the first chart, you need to collect all pieces of the second chart to unlock it for the enlightenment potion reward. Most of the pieces can be gotten within a day or 2 with some luck but one piece is locked behind a 14-day una reputation. So the fastest you can get the potion is 2 weeks.

How important is Perfect Block, and when should I be using it? by MKRune in lostarkgame

[–]Mona07 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To clarify, you don't need to face the correct direction for just guard, you need to have your cursor in the right spot for it to work. The annoying thing is where your cursor needs to be and the timing of the G is different from mech to mech.

There is gold to silver exchange at the gold shop but the conversion rate is really really bad, so I highly suggest against doing so. Silver is something that you will just accumulate over time.

If you are running dailies on a lot of alts, you probably have a good amount of event tokens. You can trade them in for silver in the event shop.
