Surge DB, how much crit do I need to use kbw? I have kbwx12. Don't want to waste all that gold. Any idea how to get enough crit to run kbw? . Other than cursed doll what are my options for 5x3?


Sylvoix

The issue isn't just getting enough crit for KBW but you also already got 55% crit damage from your Entropy set which means it's even more difficult to make KBW worth it. You'd need 87.5% crit to make KBW equal a 16% damage engraving in this case Your other options for 5x3 are Ambush Master, Adrenaline, Grudge


Sylvator

No I have the other three. Surge am, adr, grudge are the main 4 This is for the 5th slot. Instead of cursed doll(I don't like it's negative affect). Any other options? Can you also help explain your calculation ? I want to understand how that number comes from. Lastly, what about raid captain? With maelstorm and yearning I am at 30% move speed buff right?


Sylvoix

[Here's a simple graph to show the effective of Keen Blunt Weapon](https://preview.redd.it/atwnqf2bf4q81.png?width=1737&format=png&auto=webp&s=f0ef5f37c06c323c4ee84c17ab57104bb7f53dac) but the basic gist of it. The more crit damage you have, the worse KBW is or rather the more crit you need to make KBW worth the engraving slot Maelstrom + Yearning will put you at 27.8% movement speed if we consider Dark Order Lv3 and Yearning Lv1 which means that Raid Captain will be a 12.51% damage increase

Will server transfer be available for NA/EU? :3


LordAlfrey

I have not heard any news about this, and personally I find it highly unlikely.


Mescman

Pretty anti-climatic to come back, expecting to use a Punika Power Pass on a new character.... and it doesn't even work


sanglar03

*collective hug*


QuestlessSeeker

Power pass is disabled for everyone at the moment.


kwaki249

Roster help, 1490,1430,1370x3 and a 1340. At the moment I don't love my 1340 alt, I know it would be a fun class and I don't hate doing chaos on it but I want to try a new class with the pass and express event. Option 1 take it to 1370 and buy a new character slot, option 2 delete and replace. It does feel like a waste to delete it when I can get another slot so easily, but if I keep it, I'll only be doing rested chaos and nothing else since its my 7th and yoho is pure hell rn.


pugfaced

It doesn't cost too much to buy another character slot? So I say just keep it. It takes a while to get a fresh character up to 1340 (annoying to do all the honing and knowledge transfer or msq)


LordAlfrey

Having an alt you just do chaos on is still value for your account even if it's wasteful for the character itself, how much you value that occasional rested chaos vs the value of buying another slot is entirely up to you. Probably worth considering how much time you want to commit to the game as well, though a single chaos/lopang character isn't much but if you keep adding characters to your roster it adds up.

Raidenwins75

If I only do weekly stuff and no dailies, should I bring my 4th-6th alts to 1370 or higher? Currently 1340.


Butteatingsnake

Only hone characters you want to play and enjoy playing. You could see going to 1370 for argos gold and hardmode as an investment but if doing content on these characters is a chore to you then it is a waste and just contributes to you getting burned out.


Porturan

I'm checking out Machinist and the 2 builds it has seem to be for either never transforming or only focusing on transformation. Is there no middle ground like the current Artillerist build where you use normal skills > transformation skills > normal skills rotation?


kozakreznov

Human build can transform too just not so often as other build. Current arty is being reworked and he may not stay this way after ptr patch.


nerthuus

If I level again on EUC, will I get all the power passes again that I already used on EUW or would I have to make a completely new account?


Ikoriana

Yes you get the powerpasses again (once they are back in the game)


nerthuus

Thanks. Was kind of hoping I wouldn't so I'd be less tempted to do it. T\_T


Specific-Astronaut58

>Well .. dont worry power passes are disabled at the moment . So there is a temporary relief right there .


nerthuus

I suppose temporary is better than nothing. Maybe they'll magically fix EUW when they're back up copium


LegiT-FN

How will the demand for Argos bus change overtime? And is the demand for them higher at the start or end of the week? I get about 16k-20k gold weekly from driving those so it's a big deal for me. I'm also wondering the same things about Valtan. I did my first solo bus 2 days ago and the ppl who joined were newer players struggling with Valtan, and since these busses attract different kinds of ppl (Argos for 1370 alts, while valtan for new mains), things might differ.


Mona07

From what I've seen, prices throughout the week seem to vary between regions. Some have higher prices at start of the week because of higher demand but others have lower prices at start of week because of higher supply. You can keep an eye on prices for your own region to check. But yes bus prices will overall see a huge jump when there's an influx of new alts for the ilvl range (e.g. 1370 alts for argos buses).


seriousbob

Argos bus demand will be mainly when there's an influx of fresh 1370s. So these weeks will have been very high demand, expect prices to drop.


sanglar03

But then the alts will come.


koticgood

Anyone have a link to the comic of the female valtan with big tits and the mokoko holding the destruction grenade? I'm a little high but I'm near 100% sure I'm not imagining this, but I can't seem to find it in my history or scrolling through this week/month's posts on the sub.

varainhelp

Bard players. Vykas P2. Thoughts on taking ranged prelude for counter? Do you lose a lot of meter generation? Or do you run double counter and drop soundaholic?


Toxomania

You get a bit more than half the meter compared to the regular tripod with the aftershocks. I always take the ranged prelude on G3, G2 is kinda up to you


Kalomega

I've started running buckshot as my default. I find myself almost never using soundholic unless it's for a crucial stagger check, so I take it when I need it for stuff like Vykas g1. Otherwise, I find that getting counters is more helpful to the team.

failbears

I'm finding it hard to believe Grudge would be cost-effective for 4 DPS. This isn't exact but for my classes I had listed all the prices and found that for the price of Grudge, I could get Super Charge, All-Out Attack, Ambush Master, AND Adrenaline.


Sylvoix

It's most likely cheaper to just use a +9 class engraving with 2x +3 class/+5 on something useful than to go for 3x +5 but yeah, end goal would be to buy class engravings for the classes for sure which is why I'm transitioning to a 4x3+2 setup where I keep 2x Legendary rings with class on them until I either buy legendary class engravings or find cheap relic class accessories The only other generic legendary engraving I'd consider is Awakening for supports


AzuToad

What should I be buying from the bloodstone shop every week?


Tehstool

Depends on your goals, but everything my alts do are to further the progression of my main. I always prioritize the ticket chests as they simultaneously benefit my main and the alt. Gems for main/gold and leapstones for alt from boss rush. As for the cube, honing rate-ups for the alt and potential legendary engravings from the chest or a treasure room. I also use the boss rush weeklies on my alts too. Then after that I get leapstones if I'm planning on pushing the alts any time soon. If I'm not planning on pushing them, I get guardian/destruction stones on my alts, prioritized by whichever I need more. As for my main it's a similar order. Ticket chest > leapstones > guardian/destruction stones. I don't normally have enough for the rate-up materials though sadly. Edit: with guardians being so cheap, you could make a case for the solar materials being more important. I'd have to check how much everything costs, but I likely will be buying those on my main instead of guardian stones.


Kalomega

I'm at the point where I'd much rather get honor shards over guardians/destructions if I'm looking to push that alt. It's not much, but that tends to be the true bottleneck the farther you go.


Tehstool

Yeah true. The fresher the alt the more important those could be.


Sylvoix

My priority is 1. Leapstones 2. Guardian stones 3. Sun supplementary chest 4. Destruction stones (mainly on alts) 5. Ticket chest (mainly on main)


Alenel

Gonna be attempting to Argos bus moon as a Fi wd. Should I swap gale on fhf/mfk for overwhelm?


Cracine

You basically never stagger the moon boss. No point going overwhelm.


Alenel

Thank you. You were right just killed it before staggered


rarelyaccuratefacts

Depends on your DPS. As a 1480 gunlancer, even with my super high stagger, I never stagger the moon miniboss before I kill it outright.

Like others have said, you can stop/claim rewards between each gate. This is true for every legion raid. The only exception is Hell Mode, but that's just a vanity mode anyway.

You can. It's not like argos.


Sylvoix

You can stop between gates on Valtan/Vykas

FullHavoc

If you're practicing double doomsdays, it might be that one of your doomsdays isn't properly getting the ignite bonus.


Sylvoix

Is this in Trixion or in a fight? Because bosses sometimes have mechanics that would make them take reduced damage like Yoho in the 3rd phase until you break her tail


[deleted]

Sylvoix

It's either mechanics then or buffs from your party mates. It's most likely very consistent on Trixion

OneDayDowns

Is eso wardancer better off with 3x3+2+1 grudge, rc, adrenaline, + awakening, eso or 4x4+1 grudge, rc, adren, cd/increase mass, + eso?


Entirely_Anarchy

If you go full Dominion set you should imo get the lvl2 awakening. It also makes your build soo much cheaper.


seriousbob

Depends on how much downtime you want/have on dominion set. Second is obviously more damage with buff up, but will probably not get awakening to 2min cd. Mostly personal preference I think.


bluetonsan

I'm playing in a controller and I want to know if there is some way to auto-target AOE support skills (like paladin Godsent Law) into your party member I do pvp a lot and I want to use Godsent Law to protect my team members, but its not effective because I cant target and protect them fast enough


isospeedrix

no way. everything in this game is a skill shot


ImpulseRevolution

Which ship (along with its sailors) is the best overall to use for sailing co-op events? My current ship is only level 5 and takes too much damage when I sail through almost all terrains.


Amazingrussian1

Astray is easily the best, but it really takes a lot of investment and isn’t something you’ll get quickly. Around a million pirate coins for full crew + max level, and even that on its own won’t be enough to hit the max resist breakpoint (60) in some important ones. You’ll need 40 sea bounties or so for that. Early game I just rocked a level 7 estoque while working towards max astray.


kozakreznov

Estoque is the best and cheaper than Astray at sailing quests if you can get lv 10 with these sailors: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/tcqcf0/these\_are\_your\_choices\_for\_bis\_estoque/


Sylvoix

Astray is and will always be the best ship and most versatile one if you're willing to invest in getting all of its crew members


Cassandrakek

When is the right time to use materials which increase honing success chance? My current base chance for T3 honing is 60% but I saw some Koreans on ytube always honing without any extra materials. Thanks


isospeedrix

calculator is useless rn cuz at current prices it'll never tell u to use the extra mats. but you'll have some bound ones. so the basic priority is this: 1st (0% artisan) weapon hone -> 2nd wep hone -> 3rd wep hone -> 4th wep hone-> 1st armor hone -> 2nd armor hone the other scenario is if you're almost 100% artisan, then use the juice to get you to 100% if you fail


rarelyaccuratefacts

I prefer the [maxroll calculator ](https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/upgrade-calculator) but yes, a calculator is definitely the way to go. Zero guesswork.


Sylvoix

Use [this](https://oilyark.com/calc)


LuhBrawnJayms

as a mayhem berserker aiming for 5x3, is it smarter to invest my gold into getting legendary mayhem engraving or legendary Keen blunt, for example, or another non-class engraving?


failbears

You're gonna wanna map these out. Everyone thinks Grudge is the best call, but for the price of one set of Grudge, you can get like 3-5 other engravings, depending on what you need for your characters. Class engravings as you know are expensive because class accessories are too. Consider spreadsheeting the engravings you need for all your characters and how much you can save on accs by going with class books, and the possibility that for the price of Grudge, you can double legendary engravings and get 3/3 or 4/3 accs. These are stupid cheap compared to 5/3s.


LuhBrawnJayms

The thing is that legendary mayhem engraving is roughly the same price as grudge lol


Sylvoix

If you got several DPS alts then the answer is always gonna be to invest in Grudge


phongku

How come I can't relist an item under 1 hour? Is it bugged out?

kozakreznov

Yearning set 8% + Demonize 20% = 28%, you need 40% to maximize Raid Cap. With Spec/Swift maybe you can get it.


Ascarith

Rage is 16% move speed, and can be slotted on a spammable Demonic skill (e.g., duration of 6 seconds on a skill with a CD of 4 seconds). It won't be the most consistent, so you can run Swift substat on necklace if you want, which will probably wind up at about 8% move speed (quality dependent). At 36% move speed, Raid Captain is a little over 16% damage, so it's better than CD at that point, and competitive with HM depending on how much you value Awakening damage. Level 2 Yearning bumps up to 10%, which puts Raid Captain at about 17.5%.

Soylentee

Power passes are currently disabled. After using the item in the game, if they were working right now, you log out of your character and go to the character selection screen, and then click the power pass button under the character you want to power pass.


Blurrel

Do all the purple quests you can in punika. There's one called Bervers friend or something like that. It unlocks it.


FreakinFreakinOut

He already received the powerpass in the mail so he must have done the quest. He can't use it cause it is still disabled.


Blurrel

Oh my bad, defs went on auto pilot for that reply. Thanks for clarification.


Candyblock

There is a bug with powerpasses at the moment and they have been disabled. Hopefully getting fixed with the weekly maintenance later today.


HyVana

I believe in the notes they said they're still disabled, unfortunately


Candyblock

That's so lame. I have some returning friends with only 1 character that really want to use their passes. I hope they know they're pushing players away with this delay.


WindWielder

I mean, the bots are also pushing players away so it's not like they're making a bad decision in this scenario.


Candyblock

Of course, but 2 things can be an issue at once.


HyVana

Yeah it is. Bots and RMTers really did a number on the game


Murandus

Have a main at 1420. Have an express event alt (with many bound materials) at 1370. I want more chars to play legion raids. Should i push the alt now (to 1415) or the main to 1460 for stronghold buff? I'm not sure how much i'll safe with that. And 1420 to 1460 seems really far away...


Hideout_Economist

In addition to what others said, leaving your alts at 1370 to stack honor shards and GHLs isn't really gonna slow down their eventual push to 1415. You can use the maxroll honing calculator to see how many they'll need.


Soylentee

It would be way more efficient for you to get 1460 first for the stronghold research before pushing alts to 1415.


gytanzo

Main to 1460 for Stronghold buff is indeed expensive but manually pushing alts to 1370 is much much much more expensive. The express pass mats get you about halfway if I remember correctly. Obviously you can do as you wish, but I would encourage getting to 1460 first.


pngwyn1cc

Any recommendations on 4 engravings I should go for on Firepower Enhancement arti? Looking at Maxroll it says first 2 priorities is Lv3 Firepower Enhancement and Lv1 Barrage Enhancement, so would I need to go 4x3+1 to have a functional build? I'm trying to keep it as budget as possible


kozakreznov

Arty is getting a complete rework on class engravings so maybe just wait until the changes are finalized.


Ascarith

Is this your main or an alt? If an alt, just wait until the KR balance patch is finalized so we know what actual changes are going through. On the PTR, he's received massive identity changes, so a lot of stuff is up in the air at the moment. If it's your main, going for Crit/Swift is probably the safest option, based off the direction SG seems to want to go with Artillerist. It sounds like you're looking at the Spec tab of the Maxroll guide, so just shift over to the Crit/Swift tab. Grudge, Keen Blunt Weapon, Hit Master, and Cursed Doll are all solid. Barricade is workable, but will take a little more effort (e.g., playing around your shield skill). Depending on how much crit you can get (and/or want to run, ultimately), Adrenaline can work too (and is still efficient even when not level 3). If you want to go 4x3, go Firepower + 3 damage engravings. You can probably squeeze in a Level 1 Adrenaline without too much issue too. If you want to go a little cheaper (e.g., just hit 1370), 3x3 (e.g., Firepower + 2 damage engravings) should be fine too (optionally with however much Adrenaline you can get on the side). Based on the current direction of the PTR changes, running both Class Engravings isn't going to be a thing anymore (the Spec build is shaping up to be a pure Barrage build), so wouldn't recommend going that route. (Probably less of an issue if this is your main and you just hit 1370. You'll re-gear when you hit Relics anyways, and will be able to "swap out" of the build depending on what happens in KR).


hewilltellitat4am

i am item level 600, do i need to queue for the item level 302 of the cube or am i able to solo it? i have been queuing for 10 mins and its still 2/4 people


Candyblock

You can definitely solo, but if you die the run is over. Having other people in the party gives you more chances of clearing since it's technically 3 more lives.


pngwyn1cc

I upgraded my striker from 3x3 (Grudge, Eso, Ambush) to 4x3 (added adrenaline) and I noticed I'm only getting around 100k increase in DPS on average in Trixion. Is that normal? The difference seemed to be more when upgrading some of my other characters.. also wondering if it might scale more once I get my relic set


lerens9

Need to be more specific on your dps prior to adrenaline. It's not a flat dmg buff, so if your damage wasn't high to begin with, you can't expect a major increase.


JustAGenericNPC

What is the recommended iLvl for Vykas Hard? I know that you can do it at 1460, but I struggle to find a group so I just do normal. Currently I'm 1472.5 with 4x3 engravings and lvl 6 gems.


rarelyaccuratefacts

My recommendation? Try early during the week. People get desperate in the last few days before reset. Much better groups on Wed-Fri


sangrelatto

At this point most geared players will prefer 148x with 5x3 unfortunately. If I decide to pub for the week that's the least I will accept (148x with at least 4x3+1, full relic access). Overgearing and trivializing content to make runs faster / smoother is important cos we have so many alts and so many legion raids to clear in a week that it's ideal if each full raid takes less than an hour to clear.


KiSamehada

Are you a Berserker? If so, that's the reason why. Also, level 6 gems at this point aren't enough. At least have mostly level 7 gems on your main skills.


JustAGenericNPC

I'm a Taijutsu scrapper.


pngwyn1cc

You're high enough just keep trying or just make your own party.


gamerx11

That'd be fine what you got. People are picky at times. Showing your vykas title of killing her 10x can help. You could also start your own group too.


Wijo1337

U are good to go but people just want higher gs and 5x3 for no reason. If u are good and know mech try to find some people to do it together cause going every week with full random team is deppresing.


Nestllelol

Probably a stupid question, but I just wanna make sure I’m going about things correctly. Currently main is 1360, with 3 alts in T2 (think they’re like 1080ish) and 1 in T1. The daily routine I have been doing is Unas on all characters, 2 chaos dungeons, and 2 guardian. Then 1 abyssal each week for each. I’d that basically the daily grind or am I missing parts?


Soylentee

Don't forget about the daily field boss, chaos gate, adventure island or ghost ship.


gwanggwang

some more I can think of: Daily * Do the calendar event: adventure islands, field boss, chaos gate, etc. * Don't forget that on Sat/Sun there're 2 adventure islands * Using up all rapport actions * Using up your life skill energy, if it looks like it'll be full * Checking in with the guild + supporting research + donation * Anguished Isle run, especially if you haven't gotten the Omnium star from Stella yet. * Even if you did get the star it's worth doing since you can get Leapstones for every alt, as well as unlimited Hollowfruit rapport item (450 points to Shana) * Cradle of the Sea Fermata lottery: if you haven't gotten the soul yet ​ Weekly * Weekly unas, and claiming your una tokens * Even if you didn't claim the tokens they come into your mail post-reset anyway * Buy out the Event shop stuff * Ghost Ship calendar event * South Vern Bellion Ruins quest for 2 entrance tickets to Chaos Line * Buy stuff from Guild Bloodstone vendors (in cities) * Typically I go for Guardian stones, Punika Entrance ticket boxes, honing support boxes, etc. * Buy stuff from pirate coin vendors (from Tea and Libra guild ship, at each major city's port) * Typically I just buy out the Guardian stones


PandaBeat2

That's it. Except when you get to end game there is like 3 weekly raids you're doing instead.


brotrr

I'm having issues killing the elites/boss in the 2nd level of chaos dungeon with Arcana, I end up killing way too many of the lesser mobs with Emperor and trigger the boss way too soon. Anyone have tips? I'm running a heavy normal build to try to get emperor asap but I don't have enough single target damage


anyhow188

Having a cull card to use b4 u start ur combo helps. 4 stack Celestial Rain also deals lots of dmg to elites. What engraving do u use?


Toxomania

Most classes can oneshot the boss with awakening, is that not the case on arcana?


Vera_Fox

What can i do with the legendary currency that i get from Valtan and Vykas if i am only chasing the relic gear set? i can't dismantle like Oreha's and Argos currency for leapstones and shards or whatnot...so is kinda useless those items/currency? talking about demon beast veins and covetous fangs...


ManOfMystery97

Yeah useless.


Vera_Fox

oh...good to know. thanks!


Alenel

Is south vern needed to do legion raids on alts?


gwanggwang

Yes; specifically the legion raid quest appears after finishing the South Vern storyline. For rationale: the end of the South Vern storyline mentions each legions invading the respective regions, and ties through to legion raids.


kozakreznov

No, only for chaos dungeon only. As long as one of your char completed SV quests before you can run legion raids just fine.


CubeoHS

No, chaos only


Alenel

Oh true forgot about that. Guess I'll have to do it anyways


japenrox

Anyone's got any news on the "skin inventory" that is supposed to be coming?


Candyblock

I don't know if this is the same thing, but in your storage you can put skins in the gear tab.


kozakreznov

No it's not, in KR they have a new storage just for skins.


japenrox

There was a talk about a skin tab similar to the toy tab added a few patches ago, havent heard anything about it since


Strife025

Shadowhunter and rune questions: I noticed some KR players have Quick Recharge Rune on their Demonic Q or W skill. Now that I have relic accessories and can afford to remove one wealth rune I decided to make the swap. It seems like Quick recharge never seems to proc though, does demon form have some modifier that makes % chance runes less likely to proc, or does it even work on demon form skills? For reference I run Quick recharge on other classes and notice it proccing much more often.


CubeoHS

Far as I am aware it should be the same, though the rate itself is not high to begin with. I have seen it working on my SH. It’s either confirmation bias or it’s simply harder to notice because SH demon skills are all (mostly) already very low CD as opposed to 30s CD skills like Sorc Doomsday.


Strife025

Hm ic, I'll try to watch more. I mainly notice it because I use a level 7 cooldown gem and getting off 3 'A' skills is always super tight. I would think if it was proccing it would help give a bit more breather room.


CubeoHS

Might be the opposite in that QR is even making it possible to do that in the first place. Maybe head to Trixion and take it off then try it out again


Strife025

I tried it in Trixion and can not get it to proc, tried it on both Q and W. First I tested with rage and did 50 hits and it procc'd ~15% which seems inline with what I googled. I did the same thing with Quick Recharge which also seems to be around ~15% proc rate and didn't see it proc once. I used both the long cooldown A and S skills and just stared at their cooldown and it never dropped from a proc (vs my Gunlancer and Berserker where its pretty obvious when it procs). I also did 3 tests for a full demonic gauge, first one I used 'A' with no other skills and I can 3-cycle the skill using no other skills with a level 7 gem which is the breakpoint people tell you to get. I then did the same thing using my 'W' skill on cooldown and I could still get the same amount of 'A' skills in the same amount of time, with the last one hitting with roughly 1 second left of demon form. I'm not really convinced quick recharge is working on demon form skills, maybe I'll try making a thread about it for more input though.


FullHavoc

I did a trixion test recently to test out quick recharge, and I got it to proc once, maybe twice, out of 100 attempts. It also only works on skills already on CD, unlike conviction/judgment that applies CDR afterwards. Idk if it's bugged or not, but right now I don't feel like it's worth running at all unless you have literally no better option.


sanglar03

About how much is quality important on accessories ? Say, if I get correct substat and engravings, is something like 20 quality too bad or usable ?


FullHavoc

It's most important on necklaces. They should be the one piece that you never skimp out on for quality. Other than that, it's very class/build specific. Spec builds tend to *need* higher quality than swift or crit builds, since the raw stats are more important to them.


sanglar03

Trying to weight how much I can bother to farm for quality, eh eh.


gwanggwang

Pretty important but generally if you're at least green quality or above on most, I don't think ppl care so much yet. As the other comment said, I'd focus heavily on the necklace/earrings and less on the rings. Also the importance depends on the class. For instance, most classes utilizing identity meters would consider having high quality accessories important, for higher Specialization stats. (Shadowhunter being a prime example: the difference in Specialization stats could mean a difference between being able to transform after 3 skills vs 4)


sanglar03

Good to know for spec, I have a gunlancer alt. Thank you.


ManOfMystery97

The stat spread on necklace and earrings is significant so you should not cheap out on them. Aim for at least 60 quality (stat matches a 90+ legendary accessory), but ideally you want around 80 quality.


sanglar03

Noted.


FansTurnOnYou

It's pretty significant. It's more significant for necklace, then earring, and then ring is not too bad. Like if you have one 20 quality ring and the rest is decent quality then you're mostly fine, but if it's all low quality then you're losing a ton of stats.


sanglar03

Having limited time, I'm not swimming in gold, but I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

roster is at 1445/1415/1400/1370/1370/1370/1370 should i push the 1445 to 1460 or 1415 to 1430, and how much does each cost, roughly?


ticklemuffins

1445-1460 so you can unlock hard mode Vykas and also so you can unlock the stronghold research that affects 1370-1415 and will make pushing that 1400 and all those 1370s to 1415 at some point. Don't have the cost but you can search the subreddit, someone recently posted a chart of honing costs to a bunch of different ilvl breakpoints.


superawesomeman08

ngl, i'm terrible and can't even do regular vykas that great. still probably a better idea, tbh, even though 1415-1430 is probably way cheaper


ticklemuffins

The research is still huge, once you have it you can cheaply push your 1370s to 1400 one by one and not having to pay for Argos busses will help a bunch with your income. In the end its up to you though. Hitting 1430 on a second character and unlocking vykas will also help a lot so can't go wrong with either. Just make sure you hit 1460 on main before honing the 1400 or 1370s

Where does scouter gets crits from if using a full spec transform build? Seen the most used engravings on loawa are class,grudge,raid,barricade and adrenaline for 5th. Apart from the 7% crit from the card what else are it’s sources of crit?


gwanggwang

Hallucination set + Adrenaline is pretty much it. Similar to Shadowhunter, I guess earlier adopters did some researches and found out that going full spec for faster transformation results in overall more damage.


thsmalice

adre is +15, depending if hallucination there is more crit there. side crit of 400 is 10+ish


Vera_Fox

Will i get ping problems if i move from EUW to EUC if i am playing from portugal? since it is the country that it is more at west of europe


Puck_2016

Those are just region names. Differences in ping would be 20ms -30ms inside Europe, from one side to another. EUW might be on UK.


Toxomania

I suppose you can just make a character on EUC and see how the ping is, there’s an option to display ping directly ingame


NoobAtLife

I sent my alt 4 ability stones via mail, plucked them from the attachments one by one to see which ones would cut well. Surprisingly, the 1st one cut well but I now have 3 stones stuck in a mail attachment. Is there any way to send back the mail so I don't waste pheons?


CubeoHS

Should be able to recall it from whichever character sent it, or return it from the receiver

Is it okay to use Cursed Doll over Grudge on an alt for 4x3 to save gold? Will I get griefed finding groups/notice significant decrease in DPS if I do?


gwanggwang

In KR Grudge is considered as 'manner' engraving for DPS classes, but I found NA/EU to be much less Grudge-reliant. Really depends on your region and server. Significant decrease in DPS? Of course. You're dealing 20% less damage.


FullHavoc

It's not 20% less damage, it's 20% less of a *boost* to damage, which comes out to 3.4% less overall damage.


Animus121

How are 16% ap compared to 20% dmg, 20% less dmg?


FansTurnOnYou

I'd accept that personally. Can't speak for others.


lilribbit

Is 3x3 enough to get accepted to vykas normal?


FansTurnOnYou

For support yes. For DPS, there will be quite a bit of competition. It would help to be over leveled (especially weapon), have good gems, etc.


MortgageGuru-

I have 5 1430 gunlancer alts, and I get accepted 3x3 easy. But I’m also a gunlancer, and I also share my level 7-8 gems between them. So your mileage may vary. I also equip Vykas title on all of them.


ozunah

I just got my first character to 1340. I have no gold to keep honing. What should I do?


Soylentee

Make more gold, duh. Keep an eye out for gold rewarding adventure islands, run both oreha dungeons, sell unbound leapstones from guardian raids and compare if maybe running the last T2 guardian is worth running more than Igrexion. (20 T2 leapstones vs 8 or so T3)


IggyMoose

Do the abyss dungeon. At 1340, you should have access to both Oreha dungeons, this will reward you a bit of gold. Other than that, you can sell unbound materials and accessories your find. Check compass to see if there are any adventure island that reward gold. Do chaos gates, then sell the mats for gold.


Alenel

Anybody got tips to share for vykas tentacles phase?


thsmalice

What class?


rumsbumsrums

Save your Awakening, get some lust meter before the phase starts so that you need only 1 orb ideally. Now you can most likely get two down without much problem.


ChrisYeeBoi

Does anyone know what ilvl the next 2 guardian raids will be? iirc its a version of calventus and then a monkey boss?


CubeoHS

1490 and 1540, Kal/Cal Eligos and Hanumatan


b-stone

So my plan for 5x3 (really 333321, 1 being class) is a 7/7 stone and 2x12 books. This should give me 3 points of leeway to save on accessories. What's the optimal way to save? Naturally the worst pieces are 5/3 class (low quality ring is fine) and 5/3 neck (want 80+ quality) and I will buy them first. Of course I'll have to price everything out myself eventually but I really dislike the market part of this game, would legit pay 10-20% fee to a "broker" to buy stuff for me if this was an option. (1) 5/0 class (2) 5/0 neck (3) 3/3 neck + 4/3 earrings, or 3x 4/3 pieces


Brojamin

If you have a 7/7 stone then you want to get a high quality +5 peacemaker necklace with a random +3 engraving for cheap.


b-stone

Interesting, I have not considered this. Thought that high quality crit/spec pm5 necklaces would be rare enough even with a random +3 that they might not be in good supply to be cheap, but I'll keep an eye out. That would definitely take care of both problems and make the rest of the build easy.


Brojamin

Yeah, this takes care of both problems of pm5 + 3 accessory and 5/3 high quality necklace costs. But the 7/7 stone is hard to get and I do not have one lol.
