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.

Lost Ark Hotfix - Friday, December 20, 2024 3:00 AM
Greetings Heroes of Arkesia, All Lost Ark servers and regions will be taken offline on Friday, December 20, 2024 3:00 AM for a hotfix. Downtime is estimated to last up to 3 hours. This hotfix will address the following issues:

• Fixed an issue where Elixir Chests were temporarily blocked due to not working as intended
• Fixed an issue where the rewards in the Icy Breakthrough event had lower quantities than intended
• Fixed an issue where Clear Medals were not being rewarded for Normal and Hard mode Kazeros Raid: Echidna clears
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to purchase Armor Transcendence Reset Tickets from the Solo Mode Exchange
• Fixed an issue where the Abbreviated Damage Font setting did not apply when turned on
• Fixed an issue where Kenuart Fortress had an incorrect entrance limit

To compensate for players who lost their accessories following the maintenance, the following items have been granted to players:

• One Ancient Necklace Selection chest
• Two Ancient Earrings Selection Chest
• Two Ancient Ring Selection Chest

Additionally, as compensation for the incorrect reward quantities in the Icy Breakthrough Event, users will receive the following items:

• Artisan's Metallurgy: Level 1 (Bound)
• Artisan's Tailoring: Level 1 (Bound)

Thank you for your patience, and we’ll see you back in Arkesia soon!

Finally finished all card unlocks for pre T4 cards which was probably one of the biggest long term goals I had. I've saved about 3 million gold and a fair bit of mats with the goal of pushing all my alts to 1670 in time for Brel (pray for me). It's going to be a bit of a mixed bag in that, I'm honestly going to miss the ease of the raid cycle when Brel releases (I'm normally able to clear all my raids on Wednesday's) but looking forward to unlocking the new ark passives with Brel.

How do you resist the urge to push them to 1680 for the added enlightenment points? Most of my classes play so much better @ 1680.

I don't have the mats for it and don't want to spend. In theory I could just push less characters but I enjoy progressing characters slowly.

Official Wildsoul (Druid) trailer:



Bear looks so bad.

AGS should have censored the entire race and rolled them into traditional human models so they could sell the skins, but adding awful transformations on top is double tapping the bad.

Lets be realistic here. There is one reason and one reason only why they went this route: this shit sells for those weird fucks in KR. Aeromancer & Artist are two of the most popular classes in KR and they needed a W.

It's still retarded and that bear looks gay. It basically appeals to people who always wanted to dress up as a pedo-bear and the cinematic of sneaking up on underage Nia is not helping.

...But yes, I'll still be playing it because new classes are OP.

P2W for a relic book

Gonna bet they go with predatory pricing on this one. 8k RC seems about right to force the whaling.

KR patch is out with the new continent & Druid. For those interested I highly recommend watching Saint as he's of the few streamers that's decent to watch (and an actual good player):

New continent also has the new Bloodclaw map according to the patch which is huge.

Edit: KR Patch notes:

After forgetting to list the bonus room packs, 14400 RC:

Each pack is the same. If you buy all 3 you would be left with the following:

• 300 Pheons
• 15 T4 Legendary Packs (Random)
• 60 Menelik's Tomes
• 12 Luminous Gem Shard Chest (50 shards each)
• 30 Ebony Cube Selection Chest
• 360 Honing Shard Selection Chest (1 T4 MEDIUM shard each)
• 75 T3/T4 Leapstone Selection Chest (200 T3 or 40 T4 leaps each)
• 75 T3/T4 Fusion Selection Chest (100 T3 OR 20 T4 each)

Bonus Relic Book selector

I'll break down the NAE prices to see how much gold this all is in a bit

Assuming you are going to buy all these mats here is the breakdown for the prices

• 300 Pheons = 2550 BC = Assuming 3750 G to 95 BC = 101250 Gold
• 15 Legendary Packs (Random) = Roughly 25k gold per pack if buying Mari's to source = 375000 Gold
• 60 Menelik Tomes = ?
• 12 Luminous Chests = 600 Shards / 160 Shard (Fully cut shard accessory dismantle) = 3.75 Ancient Accessories, assuming 18.5 k gold each = 69375
• 30 Ebony Cube = 1 Lv. 6 Gem, 1 Lv. 4 Gem, 420 Leaps, 120 Red Juice 120 Blue Juice, card exp = 190120 (no gold rooms added)
• 360 Shard Selectors = 360 T4 MEDIUM Shards = Assuming 420 Gold for SMALL shard pouch = 303840
• 75 Leap Selectors = 375 T4 Leaps = 255000
• 75 Fusion Selectors = 1500 T4 Fusions = 105000
• 1 Relic Adren = 420000 (though cheapest right now is 490k monka)

Grand total: approximately 1,819,585

Thanks to all who pointed out that my leap count was wrong!

Ty to u/Mockbuster for catching my mistake on the shards

Ty to u/theonlymrod for catching the luminous shard issue!

One last edit

I only did the calculations for Tier 4 mats without considering Tier 3. The leaps and orehas in this pack convert upwards 5:1 properly. This means that if someone were to save these for an express character down the line, then they would be able to get a huge amount of leaps and fusions for advance honing in Tier 3 that would then convert efficiently to Tier 4 mats after being done with tier 3. Thank you u/LASupps

Based on the above, they are definitely 'worth' value wise but I really dislike the pricing as it just feels overly expensive for too little gain.

I've been running a metric fuckton of North/South Kurzan for card packs on some of my alts that I hardly ever play and I've made great progress:




Effectively I'm 3 cards away from Thunder 24 which has huge upside for Brel, especially since I'll be pugging it quite a bit and the competition for DPS slots is incredibly high. I really do need to invest into some mid/mid accessories though but that's going to depend entirely on how my honing sessions go when I push my alts.
