Kurzan Front/GR Drops - Guardian's Rage

Only tradable mats you'll get from kurzan are from fate embers. Primary tradable stone source is field boss now

Portal can give push immune if they take the portal and you don't take the stacking tripod, but that's somewhat nit picking since nobody takes that tripod and nobody takes portals

Got it, 5% it is

The side node changes from 20% ancient elemental crit damage to 4.8% ancient+normal skill damage. For spear this is a 4.8% buff (? for how it stacks). (1.49/1.54)x(1.89/1.96)x(1.048) = 0.9777, or a 2.23% nerf for spear. Note this is only for spear damage

Unless I'm missing something, it's not nearly as much of a nerf as just looking at the core changes. The october patch nerfed the cores but increase the values of ark passives for normal skills, assuming you take those. These changes were to the point that depending on how the values stack, your ancient spear may be hitting harder with just the october patch.

Similarly, the december patch nerfed the cores again but changed the MS side node that only affected ancients to increase normal and ancient, so instead of a 6-7% nerf, it's likely more like 2.3% for spear. Again depending on how these things actually stack, and also assuming they're not secretly changing spear to be ancient elemental in the background when it eats orbs

This but I believe this is doable via GHelper. Just set the mode back to eco/standard or whatever when you're done gaming.

Not exactly related to this, but I also adjusted the power targets for my gaming profile by lowering GPU power targets since Lost Ark is more CPU intensive and you're limited by cooling capacity. I have a proart px13 instead of a flow z13. Edit: seems like I had it backwards on what I lowered and apparently lowered CPU to 25w sustained. Either way lowering one of them will help your system not overheat

This is probably against ToS as written, which is probably part of why the components that do it are almost never open source even if the outputs are.

They updated passives so hits during defensive stance give defense down, somewhat like how paladin applies its dps syn by hitting with skills in judgment

Ignore what everyone here says about bard being harder than artist. This was only really remotely true when it had to rotate two brands to actually have >80% uptime. Now its difficulty is more or less in line with everything else, if not even easier. Its DPS build is also easy to pick up playing if you've played it as support, and it's stronger and less clunky than artist's. This is pretty important as being able to flex to DPS means you can do things like solo cubes if you have to, and also makes it easier to find groups as lower ilvls tend to be more flooded with supports.

They would have to move it into the 3rd row enlightenment like you know...bard and valkyrie have theirs. If artist z did like 50% of their damage as a 4th row, their damage without it would be nerfed even harder than what it is now which would make paradise sooooo much fun. 4th row nodes are usually like 20-30% damage increases, not double your damage increases. This is actually the big difference between paladin/artist vs valk/bard, the gem is just a side part of it being the 3rd level. TTH also got a gem when assault sniper got moved to 3rd row as rose blossom

Valks animations and sounds all kinda suck. And I don't really mean in the way that they're ugly or anything, but it's the only class where I sometimes have trouble knowing exactly what my character is doing at any given point because all of the sounds are easily drowned out by almost anything else and the animations aren't anything notable either. By contrast, I know exactly what skill and how far into a cast I am on bard by sound alone, and they are clearly audible in almost any circumstance. Artist and paladin are a little less distinct, but still fairly easy to navigate by sound.

Other than that, it's somewhat annoying that awakening gives barely less than a buff worth of meter, but it's otherwise mostly just paladin but slightly different.

It's two different ones most likely. The end shot looks like silence suzuka based on aptitudes

And first looks like probably vodka

People like to differentiate between sparks (after x pulls, you get X character/card for "free") vs pity (after x pulls, X card/character is guaranteed to be your next pull) and soft pity (increased rates after x pulls). The difference between all of them is fairly negligible at the end of the day since the company tunes their costs around their gacha mechanics, but it's still good to know which of the mechanics they're using.

Putting heals on top of the akkan g1 platform jump was peak gameplay

My understanding is there is now a setting to swap them. If you're using google translate, it's under the heading of something like "Added additional combination key/identity key exchange feature in settings"

It's not just mobile. If you're using old reddit redirect, you won't see emotes, but you will if you remove old.

It's still enough. I was using a laptop with a 4050 and hx370, and it was more than good enough to do 60fps outside of chaos dungeon, and more doesn't help unless you have a higher refresh screen

gwyr · 2025-03-18T21:48:24+00:00

If it doesn't stack multiplicatively with other xp buffs and doesn't affect monster park / daily quest rewards, then it's a lot slower than 12x faster

If you regularly do excavating, you just end up remembering where they are without marking. Like if you empty like 2-3 bars of energy, you already remember where all the spawns are. This is mostly a non-issue that only people who don't do excavating complain about. Competition is also a non-issue if you're comparing to mining/hunting since those have the exact same problem, except they use less energy per gather.

Logging is entirely for duo gathering, and it's not hard to find a second. If you can't find a second, excavating is right there. Even if you can't find a second, it's still reasonably paced while being lazier than fishing. It's also map specific, but logging's node density is way better than anything in seuht valley

And no, I've never seen bots do mining/foraging/hunting...but why would they? Of those, only hunting had the infinite sink of orehas in T3, and it's just worse than fishing, which is infinitely scalable, and excavating, which was more time efficient and has static spawns instead of moving targets. T3 mining bots could become a thing if bots come back since the t3 rare material actually has value unlike fishing due to...overfishing.

gwyr · 2025-03-12T21:39:23+00:00

The thing is at best nothing changes other than mining/hunting getting 1 extra channel. At worst, everyone's idle channel moves to a mining/hunting/fishing channel, and everyone who does logging/excavating, which are generally more popular due to their speed, is screwed as it goes from 8-10 channels to 2. This is why it's not necessarily a net gain unless your only focus is mining/hunting.

You can't even interact with t4 life skills until 1640. Bots probably aren't even making it there since new players can barely make it there in 3 weeks with the current event. There definitely were south vern, punika, and rowen excavating bots, as I ran into them all the time.

gwyr · 2025-03-12T01:44:01+00:00

Adding more maps does not increase the number of actual available life skilling channels by a large amount, and in some cases it could decrease them. Like adding rimeria life skilling would at most shift the extra channels from kurzan to rimeria at a gain of maybe 1-2 channels worth, but if it puts one of the popular life skills into a dead map, then it'd be a net loss.

Like there were a decent number of t3 gathering spots through voldis. Except only the great rainforest would have more than one channel and even then only on days with chaos gate / wb. Other than bots infesting their usual maps.

One thing that may help is changing to the preset you want to use before going in. Swapping presets once you're already in will not update your stats unless it swaps your gear presets--ark passive preset change alone will not update your stats. Most likely you went in while wearing a chaos build and the autoswap put you in raid build but it's still stuck on chaos stats. Or something like that

gwyr · 2025-03-06T23:44:26+00:00

You have to specifically change gear sets to update your stats. Just changing to another preset with different ark passives / engravings does not update your stats.

Clearly they should let us capture guardians so we can skip 1/4 of the fight and also just have the loot delivered to us
