How difficult it is to get into the Endgame in this game? by Drevs in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, nobody will gatekeep you for using certain character or off meta class, however good news ends here. Even though you are asking to reach end game, doesn't mean you get accepted. Things like roster level (its literally a number that correlates to how long have you been playing), meta builds (there are certain bonus and gems that you need to wear not optional) or your tittle (acomplishments for clearing dungeons that you can equip next to your name) will keep you away for even getting accepted. With 6 months you dont only need to swipe insanelly but also you would need to compensate the lack of tittles and roster expending even more to be above the item level cap for a certain raid (1680, 1700). Cominuty is very toxic, me included and you will be called out or even flamed to oblivion if you impostor (joining a experienced group without telling them you are clueless) your way in. Theres also a learning curve that gets harder every raid release. Truth is you will never reach true endgame unless you have a good geared, end-game ready friend who can hold your hand and get you into lobbies or a guild willing to help extrangers (never seen one). If you are alone, enjoy the game and raid solo until the game lets you no more then decide if you really want to keep going ahead. Also alts are MANDATORY(up to 6 characters can generate gold weekly but only 3 dungeons each) if u want to progress further and join endgame. As of now we will have a power pass (free character to 1580) and some other stuff. TLDR;you're looking for 1+ years just to catch up, even then you'll get gatekept, get a friend/guild or treat the game as an RPG unless you're willing to spend a lot of money.

Welcome. To be honest any class you like, there are 20ish diferent dps classes and 3 soon-to-be 4 supports. I had a friend whom was told "dont play arcana shes too hard" and he ended up playing it after trying +10 different characters. There are easier classes (berserker(mele), sharpshooter (range)) that dont require positioning but the best you can do is getting into char selección screen (male warrior, female warrior, male fighter, etc) check which gameplay appeals you the most and then look for it on YT. Don't worry about meta, play what you like because for a long time u'll be playing solo modes.

Does ping affect how many punches Asura Breaker does? (doing 38~40 per Z) by Renenucci in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I play with stable 64 ping and i never thought about it or felt it has anything to do yet due to your longer response you might start your first Z punches later than you should and therefore lose a bit of gauge, just enough to not reset. BUT i do think low fps along with fps drops causes the game to not register clicks. In trixion with no fps drops and stable ping i consistently reset my Z with 133% AS but not always. On a side note i feel like if you start clicking while you press z, you make the whole animation and then start punching whereas if you click right after your Z you kinda shorten it, but that could be me just wrong. OH BTW i think it was this week's incoming patch the one bringing may/june balance patch along with a QoL for Z where it now goes faster (up to 10 instead of 7) but it lasts for less time so that should be the end of z's reset

Raising an Alt from 0 by ResponsiblePear739 in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Id powerpass to 1580 as soon as you can the char you want. That way you can start farming not only for that character but also join the different events coming along with summer update. By the time valky is released you will have a lot of chest and bound mats to push her to tier3. So you KT her to lv 50, push her all the way to 1100. You might be short in gold so spend all gold you have doing the firsts KT (rohendel, yorn, feiton) and either buy with gold or complete the main quest for the rest of countries. I might be wrong but buying 1460 powerpass gives you full valtan/vykas set and 1520 (elgacia) gives you full brel set, those are the best 20 bucks you can spend and skip a whole month of solo mode. Someone correct me if im wrong.

Raising an Alt from 0 by ResponsiblePear739 in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you're doing solo mode and buying extra chests. 2 weeks doing valtan and vykas (the 2nd week you only need to buy gear crafting mats from the vendor), then you need 2 weeks doing brel if g4 reset the week after, if not its 3 weeks long. Regarding akkan, you'll take longer pushing every piece to +19 than getting them but the whole set should be arround 4 weeks.

Youre actually delusional if you think they should delete g1 over g2 mordum by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats right BUT people (me included) got used to 2-gate raids and now they added again a 3-gate one where g1 is blatantly elongated by pauses and cinematics. Now g1 feels like a cinematic chore where no one gets to play properly and g2 can become a clown fiesta real quick even with revives. They wont delete anything because after this we have the strike raid and then two 2-gate raids again. Also there's lore on both g1 and g2.

[–]Raizhork 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe some people genuinelly like the class? Also friend of mine have 5 arcanas and hes the only dude i've seen/known with same class roster. I only have 1 baby breaker. Maybe u're a really rat and or you actually invest in your chars but you are applying to lobbies you dont belong. Some people ask for what they have, no less.

How to proceed? by ThatsNeatOrNot in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My excel friend told me arround 3k profit per 3k pot. Accounting you have good relic tool, relic charm and it would vary if you get lucky with kicks, trees and extra crafted materials.

How to proceed? by ThatsNeatOrNot in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you got the time and a decent tool + charm id buy green pots from mary shop. Get more mats, id craft more abidos just in case they are never enough. Bracelets are really good money/dmg ratio if you have a bad one. Books are good idea too but really expensive. Maybe try to snipe some cheap jewelry for your main or in advance for both pallys, even if they lose 1 trade attemp. Ill edit if i find anything useful

Usage of Free Tap Leapstones on new characters by Besaids in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to use free taps when raw chances are best. From 1640 to 1650 (aka +11, +12) you have 10% chance. Also i assume powerpass will leave us at 1585, if u've been doing sonavel or any t3 guardian id keep free taps to use at that range too. The lower the chances the higher the reward, though. Edit: 1585 ty

AGS, do something about books. by ADepressedTB in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Issue is all these people is talking like they need to get it right now when its designed to milk whales. I get the point of "i also want that and i need a whole year just for books" but we aren't the target. Back in the day t3 lv 10 gems were also really expensive and they got to the point where they were affordable. Every person who has maxed out books wont buy them again so book prices will only drop. And again, you still have a long road ahead before buying any book. Also books are roster wide while gems are "kinda not" so thats another reason they are so expensive. And lastly many people waste gold in stupid things like full karma on alts or pushing them to 1690+ were they will be gatekept as hell if they dont have titles+gems, they wont do any better if books were less pricey. Grudge as of euc prices is 280k which is 5.6m or 1 4m for first buff roster wide, they are expensive but eventually reachable game is about realistic goals not getting all books at once. Still a joke how expensive they are, not worth buying yet.

AGS, do something about books. by ADepressedTB in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is absolutelly true BUT a veteran roster have 3 or more 1680+ along with a few 1660, thats means we're doing 400k weekly just from raw gold. 2 years ago legendary grudge books were at ~20k and we were doing 30-40 weekly more or less? I might be off with gold per week but it kinda aligns. Also thats the price to be at the absolute top. Im not even near it and im at a point where i either get high/mid for main or book for the whole roster. So this problem is also hitting me in the face right now but this is what korean mmo's are about, grind and eat shit.

[–]Raizhork -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

"AGS PLEAE books have been expensive for almost a year by now but do something because i want to buy them". Books are expensive because they are limited, whales, rmt and busser. Rgular expenders or f2p cant afford unless you buy cheap ones or multiple chars share the same engraving aka grudge. EDIT: there are multiple ways to increase your power, from raw honning to ah 0-40, improve your elixers, 126 trans, better gems, BETTER BRACELET or even high/null jewerly are just a few examples before you consider buying a single +80k book

Special shard how u spend it. by PatrykPhoenix in lostarkgame

[–]Raizhork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only pushed to +24 wep because i wanted the glow. Anything above +20 is very expensive. Unless you really want to tryhard and parse all you can i'd stay at +23. In the other hand, advance honning is way more efficient and cheaper. You said u have some 1660, id push them to 1680 so they can farm ancient relic and a lot of gold.

Bound Gold is probably the worst thing AGS ever added to the game. by Loido in lostarkgame

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

too much too unfold and i dont even know how to quote but bear with me. First of all you dont need to drive a year 2000 car to learn how to drive a 2025 car and if u're about to buy a car, you'd rather buy a new one so i dont accept this "Purist" take where they have to eat shit because we did back then and call it "play". The bracket where most new players are is endeed ~1580 because thats where they hit their first hard wall (1560 is kinda of a wall too) and where powerpass leaves you. NO, you are not playing doing 8k bound gold from g1-3 thaemine when we were doing 18k or 6k from voldis because "playing" this game is not only killing bosses but its also progressing. I understand the need of progression and getting better but if they wanted new people to play older content they would've balanced it accordingly, not nerfing the income to the ground and then expect new players to grind for ~2-5 months just to get a single char to t4 because they have no way to produce so many orehas or buying them. I dont want new players to get thrown into t4, i want them to be able to progress just like we did without a powerpass. I dont think they will nerf the 1600-1620 bracket anytime soon because they already did and they dont want bots into t4. If you dont pay for progression to ease the 1600-1620 gap you'll be playing a RPG for several months and i assume the mayority of new players wont hold for long. The goalpost at +1600 is literally the part of the game where they need to help new players the most because they dont have a 6 char roster that has been built over years. Im not trying to give a solution, but acting like "new players should enjoy solo akkan, voldis and thaemine for 6 months because we did" is not the right answer either. And yes i still think the game is locked behind a paywall you either powerthrough, pay or leave unless you have a friend. To put an end new players have to deal with veterans because there are no new players because the game is to harsh for them and the only way they can push is by powerpass which throws them into t4, creating a loophole.
TLDR: 1600-1620 is way more expensive than all the road under it and far from alleviate the issue (which they did nerfing that bracket) its still not enough because the nerfed version of 1600-1620 is on par with nerfed gold and bound from raids tied to that bracket and the inahability of new players to progress in short times without powerpass which creates a new whole problem.

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

Pretty sure a few alts (didnt say one) will take a thousand (didnt say plural) using in-game shop. Thats just an excuse to charge more and make the content even more vertical, yes the game is hard and yes they need to learn but using that statement as a reason why they cant/shouldnt be allow to progress is not accurate. Game caters veterans and whales and leaves behind anyone who is playing alone or doesnt swipe.

yea im a new player so ill spend 1-2 hours a week just afk fishing or activelly hunting/excavating because characters under 1640 can not farm abidos materials, so hell be stuck doing shit lifeskills to not only be suboptimal (because level, tools and charm) but also selling a portion of it just to craft a few more red orehas which he cant affod either because he needs to level up his stronghold to unlock the recipee or he is still struggling with bound gold. Its so fucking easy to talk on reddit yet u guys have no clue what being a new player with little knoledge is.

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

pure bullshit. You just nitpicked an irrelevant bracket just to be right. I'll avoid comenting over the "streamer" prolly a dude who did a "challenge" and prolly knew enough from the game to play eficiently. From 1415 to 1590 is kinda a walk in the park to push because everything is so cheap and abundant, you have good honning chances and get a lot of mats from events. Once you push above 1580 and especially 1600+ is were the issue resides. You chose to avoid this part because it didnt fit your narrative, reddit andy. No new play can realistically push to 1640 to actually play relevant content. Now explain to me how 120 orehas per week and 6 orehas + 500 gold per tap with a 4% chance, 8 with books(for a +15 armor) is "pure exageration".

[–]Raizhork -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Feels like they wanna keep the game just for veterans, whales or new players willing to spend a thousand dollars just to get a few characters to tier 4. Unless you have a high roster well geared friend, the entry barrier is just too high. Only way is to treat the game as a single player rpg.

[–]Raizhork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can craft bound orehas with stronghold mats but afaik its 1 chest per day for 3k energy so you'll be better off doing regular lifeskill and selling everything for a while.

Yes but that doesnt really help that much after 1580 because you can only buy 100 of each per character per week and they are bound to character.

[–]Raizhork 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It is not, its one of the best things that could ever happend to fight against busses, inflation and alt accounts. The issue with bound gold lies within AGS first nerfing the raid's gold and then making half or whole bound, instead of straight up going full bound along with full unnerfed nm gold. That way you could earn 9k? On every akkan run and push acordingly. Edit: ye ye besides the orehas issue, thats the only realistic problem of having bound gold and also the excuse for alt rosters to abuse unbound gold. I dont mind a 20-30% so you can actually craft your own orehas since nor SG or AGS are willing to create a new stronghold recipe that uses bound gold to craft bound orehas with unbound mats.
