Lost Ark Online

It's done. Around 250 gifts needed to get all these rapports up so had to wait 3 resets. Actually didn't use all I prepared, I overprepared in case of but have around 70epic gifts left and a dozen of legendary. Part of this is the fact it took longer so I used rapport actions for bonus, and because I hadn't bothered calculating the "free rapport" you get from the quests as well as those little dialogue options that unlock at at rank ups. For example Azena gets like 12k free rep once you get to Friendly and do her quests+dialogues, which is quite a significant amount.

Now that it's done I'm considering getting another one, I'm thinking likely Punika since it gives good gold, Nia is already done so it's actually less rep than East Luterra/North Vern(which has a quest that's still buggy on Ealyn, affects only some ppl but sucks), but also considering Yorn cause it's a lot less rep, although I'd need to spend 1.8k gold buying the purple collectibles and 1.2m silver on the rum and then still have to RNG the Una task food item. Might do both though cause while I want 9 for Bifrost key, 10 is Delain Armen card which would be nice to have too. Although I might just wait for South Vern, the only req on that is the rep and it's not that high, the food all look very easy, just a bunch of silvers, the issue would be collectibles.

A lot of those noobie zones can be wiped out in a few days for anyone curious. Most of the rapport NPC's, you can get like a lvl of rapport every day or every other day from just the daily allotment and no gifts. Its why I always roll my eyes at people riding around on that white Bug with no abilities. I have it too bro, get over yourself while I run by you twice the speed on a proper mount. Feiton was my main target in the beginning and now that that continent is done, Im just kind of working my way through the rest of the game. But great job so far, Pyros . I would have done Punika first myself, but Moake is being a stingy bitch.

My main goal isnt Ignea's atm, but working on the lower end / low tier rapport NPC's to get the virtue stats in order to do the rapport quests on the high tier NPC's. I know you can gift bomb and skip the quests entirely, but the virtue stats are my personal goal. You get something like a 150 chances to buy gifts a day from wandering merchants, but God almighty does doing that suck that absolutely life out of me. Its like grinding endless Chaos.

I had done most of the low req virtue already. It wasn't that many though, but I did Elia/Ryeon's Ghost/Azena to amicable super early on. It was part of my prelaunch preparation, I figured out which NPCs to do rapport actions with early on to get the easy shit early as efficiently as possible. And I've been using rapport actions every day since the start, but some NPCs it just takes super long. Sasha is like 50days or something like that for example so without gifts it's somewhat unreasonable unless you're just looking very long term.

And yeah didn't pick Punika because I still need a crab and who knows when this dickhead will drop it. Still looking for the omnium star off him too. That's why I'm not sure about rushing it for the next token, if I had the crab food it'd be a no brainer but for now it's a bit weird.

Also trying to upgrade my gear and ran out of shards again, shit sucks. I bought all the shards off the event vendors on my main too, thought "oh nice that's a good amount". Now I'm 1393 and out again lol. Also kinda out of leapstones though but I have 5 boss rush tickets to run so can probably get some, shards not so much. Guess I'll just do it slowly with event mats, I don't need to do P3 argos other than for gold anyway I think, because I can get 2 pieces off P2 next reset, although not sure if the amount of blood in the box is RNG or not. Might try to get P3 next week just to finish the set, but then again Valtan is so far it doesn't really make much of a difference.

This is good too I used it a bunch, depends a bit on your server but Seria and legendary gifts are almost always updated, the rest well I did it myself a bunch on my server but yours might have more ppl doing it. It's also great if you want to know where and when the merchants are spawning in advance without having to memorize the times and shit.
