    Should have saved the mats for the T3 rewards. Trust me on this. Rushing to T3 and missing an opportunity on T3 mats (even if there's a lot less!) is not worth.

    Lost Ark Online

    PVP is fully equalized. PVE challenging content (ex: legion raids) is equalized. Spending money in the cash shop (e.g. blowing 50 grand on Gold to +20 your gear instead of keeping it at +15 like a normal person does provide you an advantage in things like island GVG content. Which is negated by...

    I am still waiting for this this pay wall, having played on KR since launch and being unable to purchase anything on the cash shop there. I'm also at the final tier in this release and I still have not spent a dime. Actually, doing some math, gold sellers are asking for $5USD per 1k gold. I'm at...

    Completed my goal and got to T3 without using weekly or the attendance items (saving them for T3) and got my last skill points. Just missing Sasha's rep for my 10th giant's heart. The alt army is now fully functional and should start progressing steadily. Time for the first real grind to begin!

    This is just such an unnecessary and silly change. It's like no one at Amazon understands ilvl restrictions to equip gear - who exactly is this protecting? I'd love to know the rationale of the change. On a separate note, I failed my +15 on two items to the point where the game gave me a pity...

    You complete all T2 dungeons on normal & hard for additional materials. These can only be done once however.

    To echo Brahma's point, you're not too far in (if you're enjoying it) to roll East Coast. There are several advantages to this, mostly notably additional servers for the auction house and queues. The ping difference is negligible and it has the added benefit of having a fair amount of us on the...

    Soloing the leveling dungeons on hard is not standard fare. This is because there is no reason to do them on hard (the gear upgrades get replaced rather quickly and there is no exp or advantage to do them on hard, especially since it doesn't really add much challenge). Most people speed through...

    I really wish they would up the cadence for class release. I'm about to hit T3 (1080 and haven't spent a Moon's Breath yet) and would absolutely reset to Scouter if they released it. Some of the unreleased classes are just that good.

    Yes. You generally prioritize rewards that provide skill potions (such as giant's hearts) for this reason. I'm at 303 skill points as I prioritized it quite a bit, which ends up being able to +10 two additional abilities compared to a fresh 50 (which is huge). Don't skip these.

    If the combat and the dungeons are enjoyable for you then you're in for a treat later on. The later dungeons, abyss dungeons, and combat mechanics are all superior in every way. If the terrible Asianness of the game and questing process doesn't result in you quitting, you generally find LA...

    Game does itself a disservice as you level up of making you feel like a God. There is absolutely no challenge or enjoyment out of leveling, besides a few set pieces that feel sort of cool the first few plays throughs. First day of FoH chat was everyone talking about how they didn't even need to...

    This is giving that dumb motherfucker too much credit. Created a chat and will be sending out invites (it seems to work cross server for anyone on East). Went in the guilds and invited everyone - if you're outside of either the main or alt guild, give me a shout on Discord or in game for an invite.

    The Abyss Dungeon example I used to calculate the currency is a required part to advance your character and obtain materials (you would do it regardless). Ergo, I have wasted no additional time and your understanding continues to be incorrect. I am still waiting for you to teach me how to...

    Sort of agree with your post but, part of my issue with a lot of the comments here is that they're just flat out wrong and show a complete lack of understanding. Is Lost Ark P2W (or P2Progress faster)? Yes. Can you purchase the progression through the cash shop in the way that people here are...

    That's great - I just did the math on the 'rotating' shop (it's called Mari's Secret Shop): I can buy every single upgrade material for the price of gold I earn from doing the current abyss dungeons and trading them in with left overs. Not a single dime was spent of cash (you said cash shop...

    Welcome aboard. What name are you playing under? We need donations! Feels good having things to do in an MMO to progress your character as well as just shit to do for fun. I'll bite. What pay2progressfaster elements are present in the cash shop? Note: I fully consider Lost Ark to be a pay...

    You gain 2-3 slots every guild level you get, so we're capped at 32 atm. Guild is very active during the day, albeit it's hard to keep track of guild chat due to how terrible the chat window is. Will continue to clear room for any inactives but we normally have 25-30 online right now. Edit: for...

    This is a pretty reasonable take. You either enjoy the endgame loop (from my standpoint, I really enjoy the Guardian Raids & Abyss Dungeons) or you don't and the game only has limited appeal (at which point, it's a F2P game that brought you some fun). Feels like a win no matter what? Math does...

    It takes me about 9 hours to get to 50 from a fresh character. It is not difficult to do this 'overnight'. You would know this if you knew anything about a topic that you're on a gaming message forum discussing. You're asking me if I am able to, on the record right now say that you cannot buy...

    Here's the thing. You're talking about facts. You are not presenting facts. Perhaps before trying to talk from a position of knowledge you should attempt to know what it is you're talking about. You cannot buy a fresh 50. You can't enter the shop and order a 50. After you level a character to...

    Not sure how the EU auction house is however, thanks to the East market excessive amounts of materials are available. I bless the whales who were paying me 25x the value on t1 leapstones when the price would always drop the next day and allow me to fail an upgrade x3 and still make a profit!

    The mats required for 14 to 15 is trying 12 to 13 about 3 times, so having 2 failures at that stage is way worse. :)

    Lost Ark Online

    I failed my weapon upgrade from 14 to 15 3 times. It put me a full day behind. When it worked and I didn't need to farm more t1 weapon fragments, I wanted to cry. Of course T2 chaos dungeons only dropped 2 armor pieces for me in my two runs to celebrate.

    Firesofheaven is full on Regulus (we just level'd and filled the slots). There's an alternative guild (RerolledFoH I think?) that you should be able to search for and get an invite while we clear more slots. For the main guild - if someone reaches lvl 50 and needs an invite, whisper me on...

    I think you're absolutely wrong about this. Of course it's going to see a drop off (what game doesn't) but LA is here to stay with a significant population. The game just has too many avenues to progress your character and enjoy combat even if you're shit at the game. The reception has been...

    Server is back up. Quick note for the guild: We're working at increasing the level for more invites. There are a lot more lurkers that send a request for an invite than expected though (there's over 15 people pending an invite atm) so my apologies if it's taking a bit to invite some of you due...

    Lost Ark Online

    No. Mari's shop is available however, even if you bought every single rotation of the shop, it would be worth about 1 ilvl increase attempt from 14 to 15 for each piece. The value would also be negligible (we're talking gems that you could farm in game worth rather than needing cash). You can't...

    You only need to hit 600 Ilvl to get to the next tier. At that point, it's a reset of gear (similar to what occurred when you unlocked T1) and the chaos dungeon will drop 800+ gear, which you'll have enough mats to take you to 1k from the islands done earlier. The gap between someeone like Saint...

    Lost Ark Online

    Just want to help clarify: doing the Abyss dungeons will net you enough mats to make a full set. Regardless of the ilvl your current gear is, you should be switching to this set (it's purple and thus has more stats before even factoring in the set bonuses). You can transfer the ilvl of your...
