Lost Ark Online

E elidib Should come bard for Booze for Brel 2.0. Lets make Lost Ark great again.

Free 1580 powerpass with the patch tomorrow

KR T3 fusion on vendor has 100x Valtan for 100 medals / 100x Brel for 200 / 100x Akkan for 300 as a weekly buy per character.

KR Transcendence - linear path while you move 1-4 tiles each turn, odds are 40%/30%/20%/10%. Grace pity increases % chance of rolling a 3 and 4. Zero control, all RNG, insert gold like a slot machine until complete or 3 flowers is impossible on your board so try again.
Red tile (Addition) - next roll is x3 spaces
Blue tile (Replicate) - free moves you further by repeating your roll
Purple tile (Enhancement) - free moves you further by +4 tiles
White tile (Relocate) - all future rolls are +1, can stack
Yellow tile (Blessing) - free moves you further by 1-4 tiles

Note: Special tiles can chain, activating an addition (x3) and landing on an enhancement (+4) the following turn moves you an extra 12 spaces and that can land on a replicate.

Elixirs are not guaranteed at all and still relies on RNG hitting. You will junk some elixirs at the start without picking the 5th slot and you will junk some elixirs by turn 5 because they are dead already. But the system drastically speeds up cutting and reduces amount of learning needed. Basic screenshot calculators may still have a reason to exist to give you % of reaching 5/3 or better or completing a transcendence with 3/2/1 flowers.

Card Storage Adjustments​

• Expanded the basic Card Storage slots from 120 slots to 250 slots. All Players will receive extra 130 slots, and any that exceed the maximum number of slots (510) will have the corresponding amount of crystals refunded.

TL;DR if you have 400 cards unlocked you will bump to 510 and get refunded 100 crystals.

Plenty of UI menus are bugged right now including Guild donation + Aid Research which hurts if you are still working on Level 25. Ignite chars had their free stat-only acc deleted.

edit: Client-only patch is live (requires relog) it fixes most of the UI problems.

My thoughts:

- The changes to trans is amazing. This makes it significantly quicker, cheaper, and less gay.
- The changes to Elixirs are pretty meh. You can get fucked over with the pre-selected options quite a bit and they missed the mark in making this more friendly for new players.

With that being said for Veterans this is the peak of fun the game has ever been. Every single week generates massive gold and upgrades. There are very little jails and all encounters can be carried pretty heavily.

Elixirs need to let you choose from 3 options per line, period. I'm waiting til they fix those before trying to BIS chase. Transcendence i would label as brain dead for the new system but I guess for most of the playerbase that's required. If they let you set a maximum movement (i.e. click 2 and any 2/3/4 roll only moves 2) that would make it too easy but as soon as you skip the good tiles in the first 3 moves it is bricked.

There are still plenty of bugs like solo Thaemine awarding negative dark fires and Brel crafted gear still costing gold but new continent, new raid, new class(es), and ark passive for all will improve matters further.
