Hey guys is it worth getting the 30 day aura for the 420 blue crystals? I might as well spend them I am thinking since right now at the start is probably when one would play the most.

It's definitely worth it at 50+ for una daillies since it gives 2 bifrost teleports, and the repair anywhere feature is great when you're chain wiping on abyss dungeons or for repairing gathering tools. Also storage anywhere to grab more potions, transfer stuff more easily between chars and such. I'd say it's definitely worth it.

Where do you guys put your bifrosts?

Una dailies spots so you can do them quickly. Don't want to be spending 20mins per char just sailing around from one island to the other. Some chars also have bifrosts for rapport NPCs or just for cities on the other side of the world(song of recall say in rohendel/yorn/feitan and a bifrost in vern or luterra to go back there quickly if no bifrost daily close to a port). With crystalline aura and roster 60 reward I have 4 bifrosts so it's plenty, for some annoying una tasks I even have 2 for one task(for example fairies in vern forest I have one where I pick up the item and one at the NPC to turn in, since that forest is a fucking mess).

Can do what you feel though, can change every 24hours so it's not big deal.

Is there any benefit to grouping with random shitbirds for these island things? I see nonstop shitsticks begging to group for the dumbest shit.

Also are collectables for the Adventure Tomb just 100% RNG?

Depends a bit, for the most part not really, performing one relevant action will give you rewards. For boss type stuff, grouping up offers the usual group benefits such as sharing buffs and debuffs, which makes it easier somewhat but when it's getting zerged it doesn't matter that much. For annoying stuff like ghost ships having a bard/paladin can save you some deaths, although in our current state you can basically expect to use 5-15rez feathers every week regardless just cause it's a mess without the ghost ship+special sailor that gives you the buff to compensate.

The random items? Yes. Some you get as quest rewards but rest is just pure RNG, you can buy them on the AH though. The big bottlenecks for 100% tomes are maxing Rapport and some food which are tied to una tasks or Rapport(which isn't as bad since you have to do them anyway). You can get a few pretty "easily" by brute forcing it with money, but getting to 8 for the skill point or 9 for bifrost is a bitch cause some zones have several rapport NPCs which take 40+ days baseline so you need A LOT of gifts to do them at a decent pace.

Getting to 70% and such for the skill pot rewards is pretty easy, just take papunika map and do all the hidden stories, monster kills, food that doesn't suck, vistas and if needed clear dungeons on both normal and hard mode and the world boss. Usually that'll get you there without any specific purchases for the collectables, the rare food or rapport.

Yeah I am not trying to 100% anything yet, was just curious though since they seemed random to aquire. I had no idea they could be sold though. I haven't even as much as glanced at the AH yet so I have zero clue what things are worth.

The rare ones of these sell for good money if you find one, I sold a rohendel one for 140g yesterday and it wasn't even the purple one.

Whats up w most of the Twitch drops being tied to two accounts that never live stream?

They did some tiered drop release thing, so had all the drops visible. Any of the drops that weren't active (future or passed) were assigned to that AmznGTom account, I guess just to work around Twitch not having a way to disable/hide them. Towards the end of the drive they added it to PlayLostArk, but those channels never actually streamed with drops enabled.

What kind of loot do the secret maps specifically from the adventure tome reward give? The little description blurb says tier 3 but doesn't have an ilvl rec. I've unlocked 2 and don't know if I should/could run them.

it doesnt cost anything to change the bifrost, it only cost crystals if you want to use that location before its timer is up.

It also costs crystals if you want to change the save location of the bifrost before the 24 hour timer is up from the last time you saved.

Yeah only cost blue crystals if you're trying to get past either 2h timer to TP or 24h timer to save a new location, if you just wait it's all free shit(besides the 2 bifrost for crystalline aura obviously).

I was perplexed too until I started doing them, basically it's just a collectibles, Sea Bounties, you go to the spot on the map and you get it, and you can buy a few things with them like other collectibles(Alt J I think default? Adventure > Collectibles, can see all types and what rewards and where the vendors are). Rewards for sea bounties are pretty shit other than the Wealth rune at 38, but 38 is a lot.

Used one of the 3 day passes they handed out and instantly fell in love with the free ports, repair and bank access. Using the 30 day now. Worth the convenience imo.

Thanks, I tried it out and set a bifrost, then immediately tried to change it to see if it cost anything. Saw the crystal cost and stopped using them. lol
