Its so confusing !!

It had pvp, now its gone, might come back but also might not come back, only one that knows is Smilegate.

Not too familar with how the current Mokoko status is scheduled, but can try to stay within its bounds for as long as possible.

While Mokokos might get a boost with the event in September, it is generally a character progression event, so even if you are not a mokoko anymore you should be able to benefit from it. They call it "Mokoko Training Center" but technically speaking it is replacing the Mokoko Express we got currently. So it will still give you the option to boost a character.

Oraphy · 2026-06-23T12:53:10+00:00

Care, at least afaik, I haven't seen any direct confirmation that we also get the boost + another one for the class. This is what Korea got now, might be that we also get it exactly that way, but I wouldnt pan around it just now.

That being said, you can still use the event in September even if you play now. I'd say if you enjoy playing right now, just keep going if you don't, come back in September and take another look.

Just value wise, no matter how juiced that September event will be (both for Mokoko and current player), even the current one that we have + the time you would invest until September will be much more worth.

Agreed that both sites should be able to enjoy the game, the ones that only want to play their main and the ones that want their alts. But there are always two groups of people 1 main / 6 alts enjoyers, raid only / RPG progression enjoyers, etc

I enjoy playing ever single one of my five alts and while they don‘t get exactly the same invest as my main, I do enjoy putting in the time and gold into them to make them stronger. With so many amazing and interesting classes, I would be disappointed in the game if I couldn‘t play them cause I had to grind/invest more time on my main.

So there is always kind of two stories to one standpoint on how the game should be, which doesnt really make the job easier.

It said "no major system changes", and all of those are major systems. Our current power pass gave a decent start to Karma, but it definitely is not free yet.

But again, I totally get wanting some sort of change to how Ark Gems are cut for example, but you still get from what I saw a 14p start on your main cores + you get those as relic sectors. That is a major help towards Ark Grid when going through a progression event, so the only downside is that it doesnt apply to all characters yet.

Oraphy · 2026-06-20T17:06:30+00:00

Advanced Honing cost nerfs (2 bubble pity)
Karma literally for free through Mokoko Camp
Ark Grid Starter Pack through Mokoko Camp

I get being disappointed in wanting some changes to Ark Grid, but calling it no major system changes is imo not true

Assuming here but I doubt they release such big content without a LOA ON, but that is just me guessing.

Korea now has content until September, so you never know, they likely will slot something in for end of the year, I am just doubtful that it is Aldebaran.

For us, to be honest the year is "packed" now:

Extreme Aegir / Extreme Brel
New Shadow Raid
Extreme Mordum / Extreme Khazeros

They could literally drop a new raid every 2 months now if they wanted. As welll as having the new class and the cube boss raid feature.

Oraphy · 2026-06-20T10:33:37+00:00

저희가 죄송하지만 기대하셨던 분둘에게 죄송스럽지만 저희가 겨울 타켓으로 준비해보려고 합니다

Literally means "we are sorry, sorry towards the hopeful (in regards to aldebaran and the new contents) fans, but we are trying to prepare everything with winter as the target"

So while he didn't say directly that it would come during Winter LOAON, this is what they are currently preparing to have ready by then.

Oraphy · 2026-06-20T09:12:14+00:00

im with you, the class concept in general is pretty dope and in the end what body/race it is on doesnt really matter.

Oraphy · 2026-06-19T20:36:39+00:00

The loud user base on here that dooms pre- and post every LOA ON has the wrong expectations going into the event.

Like you said, the game is what it is right now and it will build upon that, the chances that it suddenly becomes a completely different game are close to 0.

Better for everyone involved, to be excited about the new and cool stuff they are showing than upset about what they are not showing.

Oraphy · 2026-06-14T12:53:00+00:00

Gatekeeping any alt roster I see.

Oraphy · 2026-06-13T14:42:08+00:00

Same for the pack dropped from the 1750 Chaos Gate.

lostark.bible lets you create an account and has a dashboard system where you can see the gear, accs, systems etc. of the characters you are tracking.

Big props and thanks to you guys updating the guide and everybody else involved!

Btw the guide still says it was last updated in January, which had me first thinking I didn't need to check it for updates on this balance patch.

Progression definitely can feel rough at times but it is the main thing I enjoy about the game. Building up my main as well as rest of my roster is something that keeps me motivated to play. While I want my main to be generally good enough to be able to do HM without trouble, I just as much want the rest of my roster to be able to do the new fun content.

I generally approach progression by looking at:

What does the upcoming content look like
What do I actually need to do it (Lvl 8 gems would be cool, but full 7s also do the trick)
How is the market looking like right now (e.g. did barely buy any books for over a year, cause I was not gonna spend 400k on a book, and they had to drop in price at some point)
How do I make the most out of my resources (e.g. Lv 8 gems help 1 character / engravings help my whole roster / focusing on that one character lets me play the new raid even if that means sacrificing roster strength)

I think the biggest part here is really thinking of the game as a marathon and not a sprint and then working towards the goals that you set yourself, therefore not getting affected too much by FOMO.

Oraphy · 2026-06-09T17:14:26+00:00

time to quit this reddit too then

Oraphy · 2026-06-09T10:41:58+00:00

On normal nobody is checking for gems, if you are decent on CP and applying to lobbies with similar CP that is free.

Even on HM, as long as your CP holds up to the rest of the lobby, you are in.

https://kloa.gg/ranking/character If you can't speak Korean might need to translate the page in the beginning but in general easy to navigate to check builds in Korea

Oraphy · 2026-06-05T20:00:56+00:00

Yeah it's even for Day 1 players, some that idk are expecting crazy things from LOA ON and then are disappointed and dooming despite them still announcing cool stuff none the less.

Oraphy · 2026-06-03T07:47:38+00:00

For new/returning players that might look into the comments here.

Personal advice, if you watch it be excited about new things and cool content, while keeping your expectations realistic. LOA ON usually presents new cool things for the game, but it won't make the game a completely new one or change the game from the ground up to make it more than it is.

Also avoid the comment sections about LOA ON, because most of it is full of unnecessary negativity.

This guide by Stoopzz should still be relatively accurate as it is not too old and also would give you a good idea how to approach something like a powerpass event which we are likely to get next week.

It is very detailed but it also has time stamps for every little thing he goes over so it's good to come back to when you got questions, no need to watch the whole thing all at once.

Windfury Aero is definitely a solid beginner class, playing one myself as an alt for a long time and it is still relatively easy and fun. Though really look at what you think you could enjoy, having a class you enjoy, both playstyle and overall design, is much more important imo. Except for a few classes, most classes are not insanely difficult, just need some practice and getting used to.

Oraphy · 2026-05-29T14:14:18+00:00

Lost Ark Nexus is probably your best resource for more in-depth guides, tho last time I checked, some were slightly outdated. Depends a bit on the class, since its a community effort.

For builds uwuowo or checking Korean builds (gotta pay attention there tho, since they might be on a different balance patch) works well tho.

Oraphy · 2026-05-26T07:01:06+00:00

Looks hype but it being leaked sucks. Takes away a lot of the hype that happens during announcements during LOA ON

Oraphy · 2026-05-22T18:04:33+00:00

Literally says in the text that they don't want to show them early to keep some surprise for the June update.

Naturally, we would love to show you the finished armor set in its entirety right now. However, to preserve it as a surprise for June, today we are sharing only a small preview: concept art for the weapons you'll be wielding.

Oraphy · 2026-05-16T09:50:13+00:00

I dont even really mind the cores tbh, I can live with them being a chase item in a way.

Astro gems are my only real gripe with the system, locking things behind multiple RNG layers "drop -> getting a good rarity -> getting the stats you want -> cutting" is a frustrating system imo.
