Lost Ark Online

Didn’t get one piece from the 1100 chaos dungeons in Punika today so I’m cockblocked from 1302 on my LM. Fuuuuuu

Feels like I've seen a lot of returning folks with this update. As we've been able to fill Argos raids pretty consistently and queues are literally instant pops, it's nice to be playing a healthy population MMO for a change.

With that being said, still looking to recruit a full time support player. If you're serious and have the playtime, I'm more than willing to help you with any carries or assistance.

Any chance we could try for a 2nd raid? One for Friday or Saturday evening?

I should be back on Saturday. I'm guessing I'll just pug Argos though since you've already done it. From what I've read, I should be able to do p2 even at 1370 as a support (I do have heavy armor 3 which should help survivability). Not sure what kind of free mats we've got going on, but maybe I can push closer to 1385 this week.

Also considering filling out the last two alt slots since it sounds like they gave two good resources for quick leveling, and I could use some extra lopang. What's the ideal way to go? I'd like to incorporate a solas run, so do that, and use the express pass, and then use the feiton pp on the 2nd?

I am always amazed at your ability to farm. Also impressive getting the Lance Master up to that ilvl so quickly without raw cash.

Right now I am only have 4 Characters in T3 with my main still chilling at 1400. I think alt 5-6 should hit T3 either this week or next depending on how I push. Looking at the new powerpass and express event I am tempted to start 2 new characters to maximize the bonus and get the most value out of it. Currently I am thinking of rolling a Lance Master and maybe a Scrapper as those other 2 slots.

I love me some mindless repetitive tasks. The event/powerpass should go a very long way towards getting two new chars to T3 no problem so if you're hankering now would be a great time. Been watching scrapper ptr in kr and the buff seems pretty sweet and I already enjoy mine now without it. Glaivier feels good where I'm at now in regards to stance dancing and the damage I'm putting out with only 3/2/2, shit accessories and T1 stone. Squishy af though =D

I'm happy to push my Berserker to 1370 (failed a lot of honing on him which set me back) but that would make him only available for P1. This would really depend on whether you can find at least 2-3 others interested though. From my standpoint, I'll continue to run Thursday 8PM EST for the main Argos run & Saturday 8PM EST for T2 alt runs -- if there are folks available for Argos after that alt runs though, that would work for me as well. I'll be posting a poll in Discord to change the dates for the primary raid when Valtan is closer - the original folks who voted for Thursday's have somewhat scattered, so it makes sense for us to find the best time for those that are still there at that point.

Will be good to have you back! Just take note that incorporating a Solas run is sort of it's own thing - the powerpass can be used on a fresh character to boost to Feiton (but this would eliminate being able to do a Solas run) & the event is intended for a somewhat fresh level 50 character (thus you're essentially still doing Solas before using it on the character). The best advice I can give is to make your alts count and use them on classes that you enjoy the playstyle for. While they traditionally hand out boosts when there's a new class, there's no reason to use it for that class unless you like it. Getting a free pass to T2 can allow you to have an alt close to T3 that you were thinking of playing anyways and at this point, you've seen enough of the classes to know which might interest you. With that being said, this is a similar conversation to with Booze -- they've expanded the amount of slots available for alts, provided you're willing to pay $8.00 per extra slot. It's certainly worth creating extra alts for Lopang and additional materials, provided you; A) enjoy the class & B) won't get burned out with those alts (seriously, there's no reason to feel forced to run chaos or anything on your 5th or 6th alt).

I just noticed they put in a Punika knowledge transfer. Was that in the notes anywhere? If I had more gold I would 100% KT more. Running these 2 hour quests on multiple characters is the part of the game that annoys me the most right now.

When you do a knowledge transfer, do you get all the XP you would have gotten??

Knowledge transfers are basically 1k+ gold to save yourself an hour or so of spamming the G key. That's literally all they are good for.

The first knowledge transfer is worth it. The rest, definitely not.

It's been more stable for me today aside from 1 instance of a dungeon not loading at all. Got a chunk of the powerpass leapstone mats and spent 10k on the remaining leapstones I needed. Only pitied twice from 1340-1370. Got a whole big pile of shit from my hard modes and argos for accessories though I sold a couple of dog shit pieces for 500-1k each. Flipped one of my L7 gems from my fuse fuck up and rebought all L5/L6 again though =O

Class is fun and pumps out some damage but it's completely awkward with how much all the skills move you around. Feeling tankier now though at least and not getting 3/4 of my health chunked in one hit. Just need levels and skill points while I wait for people to catch up to get some more accessories on the market.

Why did they change the PvP ranks? The new ones make less sense then the old ones.

No idea. I have only played 1 game the last two weeks to keep my char from decaying mmr. Need to get back into it but got a lot of PVE left to do again.
