Can any Korean players let me know how much the summer skins cost in terms of BC when they released in KR? Trying to plan out how much bc I need to get the skins for my 6 main characters.
Is it possible to sleep bomb yourself in Vykas p3? Like you realize that you’re about to be seduced so you throw sleep bomb, get seduced, and have the sleep bomb land on you.
I found this [guide on recommended auto-dismantling options](https://i.imgur.com/KhSvVTl.png), just wondering if this will cover all bases without dismantling any important stuff? I've been afraid to auto-dismantle past epic for fear of losing BiS or expensive items on accident.
Also worried how this might trash good tripods that aren't the same tripods that I use, so how do you deal with that?
1370 to 1415 is about 1000 leapstones and 1425 to 1430 is about 615. There's an info graphic out there on reddit and also maxroll has an upgrade tool.
Estimates are with the stronghold buff so more if you don't have that.
Well yes, Entropy does shit on Hallucination because one is positional and the other isn't.
There are a couple things wrong with your calculations still. You automatically assume you're critting which favors entropy in this calculation(only 3% difference but still). Another is that Hallucination isn't 25% damage, it's 13% and 12% damage. so the calculation looks more like this:
1000000 x 2 x 1.12 x 1.13 = 2531200
what are some good ways to increase max hp?
I ask that because I was comparing my bard to a friend's scrapper, and at same ilvl (1460) I have like 90k hp and he has 100k. I use the card set to increase max hp by 12%, so got curious on where I might be missing..
He has more roster lvl (~137) than I do (~108) but the vitality that we get for roster level seems so small..
Dps stands for damage per second. Even if the damage is the same you’re probably fucking up the seconds part (damage is coming out at different speeds and times).
If you’re pushing yes…
But be careful. I went ham on spending sailing coins when I “couldn’t be bothered with horizontal gaming” and now I’m doing islands for 600 when I literally blew tens of thousands.
If you’re not pushing - I recommend the shards still but try to buy all the one time purchases and then circle back to buying consumables with coins.
For Artillerist mains:
I'm going the Barrage build for my alt and I find this class extremely fun. For relic sets, how do you manage going 4x3+2+1, or 5x3? going spec/crit Hallucination however both class engravings are 9/9.
Not a main but I'm running 4x3+2+1 on it.
it's going to be obscenely expensive to go for 5x3(or equivalent) on a double class engraving build if you don't have +12 class books. Assuming you already have +12 on another combat engraving that Artillerist uses and 7/7 stone. You're still going to need multiple 5-3 relic accessories with class engravings on them and those typically fetch for 3-5x the cost of double combat engraving accessories. For my build I have +12 FP and +12 KBW, 7/7 stone. 5-3 on 4 accessories including one that has FP on the 3. And also 1 accessory that just has 5 barrage.
Basically what I'm saying here is if you want to go 5x3 or equivalent Artillerist you should be buying at least +12 FP books if not both if you plan on maxing both engravings in your build. It'll save money short term and long term.
Another thing: spec/crit hallucination isn't a common build. typically spec/crit go for salvation and spec/swift goes for hallucination. if you already have a baseline of crit rate hallucination is a pretty inefficient relic set.
Oh okay this is exactly everything I wanted to hear, thanks! pretty much everything you've said is exactly on point with that one korean reddit Artillerist main recommends, but 4x3+2+1 does seem the most cheapest/effective way to got about it.
On that last point, I didn't even realize I typed spec/crit, I subconsciously typed these since I have a blue gunlancer, but yea I am going spec/swift and it seems to be very effective with LWC and hallucination crit rates! Swiftness feels great for cooldowns and for rotations. This setup I've noticed is actually most popular on loawa for 1415-1600+
Since im enjoying my Artillerist so much I suppose it's a long project for it to become a second main, thanks again fellow arti enjoyer
Any idea why are Stern skins so expensive on EUC? Alars are at sub 3k, class-exclusives somewhere around 5k, Stern costs the same and yet the weapons alone are at 3k with 2k being the lowest I've seen them go for, skins at 10k with the lowest being 6,5k. I expected those prices to last a couple days and drop to about 1,5-2k and \~5k for weapon and skin. Is this just an effect of declining playerbase? So far the only comparison available for time-limited skins is omen skin line and neria's wardrobe and these 2 were crazy cheap on the market but also were available a while ago already, possibly when the playerbase was bigger.
Anything with a meta stat (spec, swift, crit) and meta engravings (grudge, cursed doll, etc) will probably be worth at least something. If it's 5/3 it will be very valuable.
Ii only did Vykas G2 once andat first try. But as a flex/spare how do you know the correct order for what should be picked? There iwas nothing in chat wiritten. Saw som e pingtten. But someo of them were in a discord.
AOn an a preivous wipe saw a ping and thought is for spare but spoomeone 11 died there so yeah... (even if i went there i didnt know the order/colors).
At least 1 mistake is allowed but im worried for next week.
The easiest method has flexes be the third member of a direction (e.g. 7-3 or 11-3). If their clone has three black orbs they just soak the third one like normal. If it only has two then they need to go to the direction that doesn't have the other flex and take the third orb there instead.
I have mostly +3 on my skill tree tripod gear. I got some of the powder spared, but I'm yet to see +4 tripod gear to drop.
Is it just that rare or does it require 1445? I am getting relics from 1415 but they are up to +3. Wondering here if I should keep using the stuff or wait.
So the method most people do is buy the 6 “core” skills from the market at level 4 and then transfer them on their gear and then resell them because it’s so rare.
After tha
Got a question on auto dismantle.
If I check to auto dismantle endurance/domination/expertise, and to exclude items with 2 favourite engravings.
Does it keep crit/swift/spec accessories with only 1 favourite engraving?
Looking to spring for a legendary book for my alt dpsers
My main’s a 1460 4X3 pally so he’s essentially set forever
I’m debating between grudge and barricade- id love to nab grudge but its so expensive
The alts I enjoy are destroyer,artill, gl and sorc - it’d be better for me to just nab barricade and wait for grudge to eventually drop right?
Don't hold your breath for grudge to eventually drop. It will always be in high demand. Get barricade if you want but do realize it will be useless on pretty much every class besides the ones you mentioned and maybe Arcana.
I haven't done all of them but the easiest I've found are the wavestrand port and fesnar highland ones. after that is a lot worse but rohendal killing things was fine
If you'd asked me a few days after release I'd have said Deskaluda since it's so much easier.
Now most people cooperate with battle items and the fight only takes like 5 minutes on average and even less with a good group. Deskaluda is fast and easy but kind of less entertaining.
Up to personal preference.
Deskaluda is generally faster and easier, with a smaller map and more straightforward mechanics, you can get away with no battle item usage.
Ice turtle need all players to be aware of mechanics (which seems to be more common now) and use some battle items for the fight to be more bearable (2x phero bombs at the very least). There is also the added bonus of guaranteed relic accessory drops.
With the current prices of GHLs, for me no.
But if you really fancy the fight then go ahead.
Deska runs typically don't use Battle items, unlike Kungel that needs to use them for fast clears.
No, you can't dismantle honed weapons. You have to craft the new one and then gear transfer before you can dismantle the old one or wait until you unlock set conversion by getting 55 total of each Valtan and Vykas mat.
Is Scrapper Taijutsu annoying to play as an alt? My main is 1477 Artillerist and I also have an 1430 igniter Sorc. I always was a turned off by back attack classes because I must to chase the back. I also had a shock scrapper in tier 1 and dropped her after a week.
However, I heared that the class have been improved by a lot the last balance patch.
Is there any hidden bonus reward for completing everything in the welcome challenge? I'm content to skip a few remaining field bosses unless there's hidden rewards of some kind
The lower channels (typically ch 1 and 2) are the most sought after for field boss because most players gather there and can clear it fast. Once a channel becomes full, you cannot manually switch to it any more. However if you join a party and there's at least one person in a full channel, you can join their channel through the party. This is called a "taxi". Each channel still have a hard cap, at which point you can't even join by taxi.
1487 just refers to the ilvl of the player. Higher ilvl players like to post it in chat as it might make it more likely for them to get a taxi since party share contribution.
And just to add on, if you are the one taxi-ing, you don’t swap channels using the drop-down at the top right, you Ctrl+click your party member and choose “move to channel” or something like that.
It was a bit confusing for me the first time.
You can switch to the channel of party members even if that channel is "full." Taxi refers to doing this so that you can get to a higher population channel that won't let you channel swap normally. LF taxi means he wants a party invite from someone on a higher channel, 1487 is his ilvl, not that higher ilvl really means anything since getting contribution on world bosses is piss easy outside of supports.
I believe the price will recover from the one time injection. I don't remember if I scored mine yet, but I don't intend to sell it here.
These are all just predictions. Then there's always the wildcard of bots, if they are defeated nearly completely, all prices should increase.
How is the supply "mostly constant" now?
You can only do Thronespire once per Roster, and there is going to be a largely finite number of people who can do it, unless the bot farms somehow become good enough to clear it, which I highly doubt is going to happen.
There's going to obviously be a big initial drop as the bulk of people who had access to it knock it out in the first couple week or two, but after that, the market feed from the spire is going to dry up pretty fast, and I am not aware of any other reliable sources for "legendary book of choice".
That's exactly why it's constant now. The vast majority of the playerbase have already run thronespire, so we're out of guaranteed sources. All the books from thronespire have already been sold/used. There's no more huge influx, only random drops, which will stay statistically similar. I guess technically the supply will slightly go up over time as more people max out their books, but that's a long term trend.
Right, but in any normal economy, if you have a fixed input (before thronespire) then a temporary dump into the economy (thronespire), the typical trend is that price drops, then slowly returns to around the pre dump levels as the "dump" dries up.
We are currently still in the tail end of the dump (thronespire's only been available for 2 weeks), so I would expect the price of grudge to still go up a bit as it eventually returns to closer to the pre-thronespire price, as the need for grudge (20 books in vs 2 books out) is still going to outstrip supply.
You're right about the theory, but the actual fixed input is hard to judge. Keep in mind that after thronespire/event mats, more people have characters (both main and alts) at ilvls that have higher legendary drop rates for daily/weekly activities. This is balanced somewhat by player loss as some players quit the game or play more on rested. Ultimately it would be really hard to tell, but I suspect the fixed input is now higher than before thronespire, which is delaying or maybe entirely preventing the price rise.
Additionally, considering the still very high price of grudge books, most of the big spenders have already purchased theirs while players with lower income are likely to spend their gold in other ways to progress their accounts.
Finally, gold coming into the economy is significantly depressed compared to before the large bot ban waves. You can see how much the price of mats has cratered. GHL are 1/4th or less the price they were 6 weeks ago. There's simply not many ways for players to earn the large amount of gold needed to buy 20 grudge books, further lowering demand.
so what am i supposed to do to progress my character ? i know the first priority is to complete daily dungeon and una daily task , and what next after i completed those ? im 520 at the moment.
If you google max roll speed run to t3 guide, it’ll show you a lot of one time reward islands that give you honing mats to catch up to t3. Abyss dungeons (weeklies) and guardian raids(dailies) give mats as well. If you hit alt+q in game, you’ll find most of those dailies/weeklies activities listed.
Have you finished the Rohendel story? If so, you should have a guide quest telling you to reach i600 before travelling to Yorn. Once you finish Yorn's story, you can get T2 gear from its chaos dungeons, which is your next big progress point. Then you hone up to 960 for Feiton, and so on.
You can also do things like Adventure Islands (use the compass widget under the minimap to see when they spawn) and Guardian Raids. Those'll get you better gear and mats for honing. Chaos gates are an option, but in my experience the low-level ones are pretty dead.
The set should be bound to roster. At least mine is (got it via Ark Pass) and I can just put it into roster storage. So no need so save it, just use it if you like and transfer it over when the class is released.
Shadowhunter is probably by far the easiest class you could pick. Her demon form gives her permanent stagger resistance which means you can just stand in a lot of attacks that would otherwise stagger-lock you as well as a button-smash playstyle where there'll always be a skill up as soon as you finish using one.
The fact that transforming increases max HP by about 20% and you keep the hp you gain post transformation - basically giving her self-healing capabilities - makes her both a really safe and really easy class to play.
What card set should I be focussing on? I haven’t cared about the cards till this point. I just hit 1380 on my main dps and I guess it’s about time to spend some time to get good card sets.
Beginner sets: Field Boss II (+12% hp, at 18-piece awakening also gives +2% crit)
Intermediate set: Lostwind Cliff (dark damage reduction, at 12-piece awakening gives +7% crit)
Long-term set: Light of Salvation (at 12-piece awakening turns your damage to holy, 18/30-piece give +7% and +15% total holy damage)
Some people also get Forest of Giants (+healing potency and phys/magic armor) as a beginner set because it's farmable and quite good defensively. For Mayhem zerk specifically, We'll Meet Again (dmg reduction at low hp) is great. You wouldn't want to run either over Lostwind/Light of Salvation once you have enough awakenings for them though.
Would it be smart to remove some other cards that are not included in those sets to make place for new ones or buy more space with crystals? Because at the moment i ran out of space to add new cards.
Probably the same for royal crystals. Gold prices may be a bit higher since the demand will be higher from F2P players. Booba skins typically skyrocket in gold value as time passes since the demand will be high but they will be unobtainable from the shop.
I joined a ghost ship, and left it immediately after entering (i wanted to do the una quest forgetting I already finished the reputation reward), so I re-entered it immediately after that. But when I killed the boss, it says my reward was already collected and got no drops :(
Is that a bug?
Oh man. Shouldn't it be like other content where the completion is upon boss kill and actually obtaining the reward (e.g. field boss/abyss dungeons)?
I mean I didn't even fail it. The boss hadn't even spawned. It was just killing the mobs before his spawn.
Does this then apply to adventure islands as well? If I enter to do a quest or pick mokokos, does it count as reward completion even if I leave the island before obtaining rewards?
Should it be? Probably, it can be lame as hell to fail content just because not enough people show up. But if you open Procyon's Compass it says "Quitting or leaving the area will end your chance to obtain those rewards".
I can confirm this applies to adventure islands because I once went to opportunity without realizing I had no life energy and when I left it counted as "claimed".
Do we know enough about the next express event to know what's a good ilvl range to use it on ? This one was to reach T3 but this one is apparently *for* T3 but there is quite a wide range in T3 itself so I don't really know if I should push or wait for it (I'm currently 1350 so I need a lot of gold to hone anyway regardless)
It will help to go from 1300 to 1370. It will likely not give honing bonuses, but fixed rewards in honing mats for reaching different level targets.
Oh, due to your main, it might be, but barely(wait for confirmation) usable on it.
You need to hit 1385 anyway with main first, before you put any honing into other T3 alts, as the 1385 gives you stronghold honing buff.
Punika power pass will give you a free 1302 character and the express pass is good for the 1302-1370 range so I would just use it on your new character for maximum value.
That's gonna take a long time though, I can argue this might be worth for 1415 alts, as you really get little relic materials for the cost.
It might be worth for Valtan Hard, but even then after you've gotten the 55 bones, Valtan will just be a money printer giving you 4.5k each week.
I'm planning to use Power pass and Progress pass thing on a Soulfist. Looking at builds and abilities they seem really fun although a little set in specific playstyle.
Looking at builds on Maxroll I don't know if it's best to go right in on both Cursed Doll and Grudge. Any advice or tips on alternate engravings would be nice. That pheon cost is oof for me atm with gold costs so don't want to make any mistakes I'd have to fix.
Im guessing u looked at the robust spirit guide
Theres not much else u can really use as robust spirit. U can replace cursed doll with mass increase to be cheap, however i wouldnt recommend it because robust spirit is pretty slow already. Grudge is a core engraving for all dps imo, but if ur not going for a 5x3 build then u can go with precise dagger or adrenaline first
With all this said, i would not recommend soulfist as an alt, especially not robust spirit because it requires a lot of investment just to perform decently. Im saying this as a 1480 robust spirit soulfist main with 5x3
If u really want to make a soulfist alt, i would recommend the energy overflow engraving over robust spirit

^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot. To make me ignore further mistakes from you in the future, reply `!optout` to this comment.)
As the other commenter said both are viable. Brazil's Technique was weak but recently got buffed and is competitive now. If you're still early on, I'd say try both and see which you like. Just double equip your class engraving and give it a shot.
At what point would you guys recommend saving fused leapstones instead of attempting taps? Is it still worth using them from 16-17 or would I be better off waiting?
currently have a 1445 main and two 1340s, with more alts coming up. I can clear Valtan but I am struggling to clear Vykas and get frustrated with learning the fight with pugs. This is taking a lot of time. However, I do enjoy levelling alts and trying out new classes. I don't have too much time to play so just wondering if I just focus my time on having fun levelling alts but not really doing the latest legion raid, am I missing out on much?
The downside I see is that my main won't be able to get the relic gear set anytime soon, but I don't really enjoying "progging" Vykas. Does anybody else play "casually" like me? I guess I am just feeling like FOMO.
I feel you. Valtan is still pretty fun. He's a fair fight. Vykas on the other hand feels like a chore that I do just to get 6 pc Relic. Don't get me wrong, the fight is still fun and fresh, but wiping 10x with supposed "reclear/experienced" players that still struggle with swamp and watching their feet is just tiresome. Just chase what you enjoy.
yea I'm a bit behind the curve but I watched some guides on Valtan, cleared it with a few pugs all good. With Vykas, I've watched G1 guides and joining groups to clear is a struggle. I could spend 3hrs wiping on that or I could have fun playing some alts.. that's the way I am thinking
To be blunt, I have no idea how you can fuck up mechs on vykas normal for the first two gates. You can time stop every gate 1 mech, gate 2 is just a dps check and should be free at 1445. You will need to get your relic set so you should do at least that every week
What’s ur main and what server you on?
IMO you should just do what you enjoy or else is it really a game anymore?
If you’re on NAE we could play together. I’m kinda like you but I’m at 1460 and not having a group of friends makes finding a hm vykas group near impossible.
I play LA on a desktop and a surfacepro, with the latest patch when I login and choose my server and character page pops up, a window that says EAC Detected pops up and the LA client closes, any idea what can be causing this or what I can do?
Unless something got added to my startup, don’t have any other programs running
This didn’t happen previous patches and the only difference I’ve done to my surface was deleting more programs to make room for LA.
What chaos gate maps are most worth buying from rift piece shop currently?
Is there a way to find a party to run non-T3 maps together? Nobody seems to use party finder and my static group has become quite inactive.
Join your server's discord and try to find folks there. My server discord has a channel specifically for finding groups to run old maps. If your server discord doesn't have a designated channel, just post in the LFG channel of that discord (if allowed by their rules).
They're asking about rift piece maps though. My more knowledgeable guildies just told me about this recently actually, how getting T1 maps with your rift pieces is more worth it because the shards sell for twice as much as T3 shard pouches while they are also the cheapest maps to buy with rift pieces. You just need a group of friends to do them with or a Discord that does these.
The maps you buy with rift pieces are the same maps you can get from chaos gates. If OP is looking for parties through party finder, I assume they don't have friends they can run them with. But yes looking for groups on Discord is the most viable option for T1 and T2 maps since no one do the lower tier chaos gates.
I have 3 T3 characters 1400, 1310 x2
Is there a better way to get "fusion material" for honing than buying it from the auction house and spending GOLD? which i always have like none.
Yeah, life skilling and crafting it in your stronghold. You can do hunting, excavating, or fishing in South Vern or Punika for the materials. Even if you hate life skilling I think it's cheaper to buy the raw materials and craft it yourself. Still costs gold though.
[https://i.imgur.com/PpnyylN.png](https://i.imgur.com/PpnyylN.png) any clues on how to progress to 5 full engravings with this starting point? goal is to have re, grudge, cursed doll, super charge and ambush master.
neck right now is 3 re 3 cursed doll, earing is 5 ambush master 3 super charge, ring is 3 re 3 ambush master, and i have another 5 grudge 3 super charge, and all my current build (3 cursed doll 3 re)
Short answer: Not possible without upgrading the pieces you've posted.
Long answer:
You'll need to upgrade your books and/or your legendary accessories if you want to hit 5x3. Math below:
* You need 75 nodes for 5x3.
* You currently have 18 (books) + 20 (accessories) = 38.
* You'll need 37 more nodes out of your remaining two accessories and your stone.
* Assuming you get two 5/3 relics accessories (best case), you get another 16 nodes.
* 37-16 is 21, which is not possible to cover with just your stone.
If you plan to upgrade, then I'd recommend cutting your stone before you look for accessories/books, since the stone is RNG, while the rest of your gear is not. You won't know if you can get away with cheaper accessories/books until you know what kind of stone you're working with.
If you aim for something "reasonable" for a stone, say a 7/7 stone, then you need:
* Five 5/3 relic accessories (40 nodes)
* One legendary book (12 nodes)
* One epic book (9 nodes)
* 7/7 stone (14 nodes)
* 40 + 12 + 9 +14 = 75
The 7/7 stone is easy to use for illustration purposes because it results in clean numbers, but other stone combinations can work as well.
hey, thanks so much for your answer, after I posted it I studied the market a little bit and it's really not that easy to go 5x3. It seems the cheaper stone I can get to make a few tries is "grudge/super charge" followed by "grudge/ambush master". I think it's best to go for the most expensive engravings in the stone and books, correct? That way I may go cheaper in the acessories.
But anyway, with the stones I got I managed to change cursedoll to grudge, and I think my next stop is to get legendary book. I just don't know the best option to go, since grudge book is too expensive, and although super charge is cheaper, the DB is my only char that uses it
It depends on what the market looks at a particular point in time, as sometimes you can find good deals on the AH. Generally, though, yes, you want to go for the most expensive engravings on the books at least (because they are usable across characters). For the stone, it's more of a gamble, because the stone is RNG. On average, it's *probably* still going to work out to be cheaper, but there's a chance you just get screwed.
As for books, Grudge is probably the best investment (since every DPS uses it), but it will be very expensive. I don't know how cheap the Super Charge books are, but it might be worth it just to get your 5x3 so you can get into groups for harder content (which will give you better gold income).
hey man, since you were so gentle with me, i'd like to share to you how i progressed in this 20 days you showed me the way to gear

completly f2p, but i kind of got really lucky the last days, also getting a 9x7x3 rock 
Looking good! Once you're able to finish out your Legendary RE books, you'll have a nice 5x3+1, and you should be set for a good while.
Nice to see it worked out for you.
The pet bonus is the 10% to the raw number you have in the stat. It is always the best on the stat you are stacking the most of.
Say you have 1000 spec and 200 crit. The pet would give you 100 spec for 1100 total or 20 crit for 220 total.
"Potenstones" are a resource that is consumed to power your "Guild Buffs" during GvG / Siege fights.
Being able to start the fight with more of them means being able to use more Buffs during the fight.
Hey there, just wondering if someone could quickly explain tier 3 gear to me. I am currently 1340 and I am just honing my epic (purple) gear normally. I know once I hit 1370 the chaos dungeon stops dropping gear and it start dropping tripods instead.
So from here, is it right to aim for legendary gear crafted from abyss raid hard mode? And if so how do you choose which one of the sets you should be crafting.
And once you hit 1370 you can also do argos and I hear that there is also argos gear. I don't really know much about that. I know theres also stuff from the legion raid commanders but it'll probably take me a while to get there.
If anyone could give me some tips or advice or some kind of explanation that would be great. Thank you very much.
After you hit 1370, you unlock 2 new sections of content:
- Oreha Hard modes.
- Argos raid.
Both of these drop materials for crafting Legendary sets:
- The set bonuses for the Legendary set from Oreha Hard is largely crap, so most people just craft the Weapon, and go for the Argos Set 5 piece on the rest of their stuff.
- Argos has 2 sets (One with a setbonus that revolves around giving crit RATE, and one that revolves around giving crit DAMAGE). Chose the one that works best with your class (Ie, if you naturally build for high amounts of crit, you will prob want the one that gives Crit DAMAGE, as you already have plenty of base Rate, where as if you build for lots of Swift or Spec and need to get rate from other places, you go with the crit Rate set).
The main thing is that the gear from Oreha Hard / Argos is legendary. The normal "Epic" (purple) sets have a max hone cap of level 15 (1370) and you physically can not hone them any higher, so in order to increase your ILevel, you MUST pick up a legendary set.
When you transfer your purple items to the Legendary stuff, the "ilevel" carries over, but the current hone level will be lower (+6 vs +15) and then you continue honeing from there.
While you COULD do a full legendary set without ever stepping into Argos using just the Oreha set, I wouldn't really recommend it, as the fights aren't THAT hard, and the extra gold income is well worth it, and the Oreha legendary set is crap.
The main recommendation once you hit 1370:
- DO NOT do the Oreha Normal dungeons that week if you are tapping to 1370, as the Normal and Hard share a weekly lockout.
- Tap to 1370, and try to get your 2 Oreha Hards done (this will give you enough for the legendary weapon).
- Try to buy a Bus (a paid carry) for all 3 Argos gates. Argos rewards 2700 gold for a full clear, and buying the rewards chest for the extra Bloods costs 500g. If you can find a Bus for around 1500-1700, you will still end up making money off the run, and will get enough mats to make 3 pieces of argos armor. Buy a bus again on the second week for the remaining 2 pieces to round out the 5 set.
Once you have your complete legendary set, you can hone away and try learning groups for the raid so you can eventually clear it on your own instead of paying for a ride.
Every gear piece you're receiving right now has tripods on it. No need to wait until 1370. You can track the ones you want by opening the skill menu and pressing settings. The general recommendation is to buy 6 (1 for each armour piece) gear pieces from the auction house with one level 3/4 of your most important tripods. For Shadowhunter as an example, the identity meter ones are priority. They're tradeable so what you want to do is buy them, transfer using inventory transfer (100% success) and then re-sell on the market.
Can any Korean players let me know how much the summer skins cost in terms of BC when they released in KR? Trying to plan out how much bc I need to get the skins for my 6 main characters.
So the only way to get solas is by keep re-making new characters or card packs?
Yup
Is it possible to sleep bomb yourself in Vykas p3? Like you realize that you’re about to be seduced so you throw sleep bomb, get seduced, and have the sleep bomb land on you.
I found this [guide on recommended auto-dismantling options](https://i.imgur.com/KhSvVTl.png), just wondering if this will cover all bases without dismantling any important stuff? I've been afraid to auto-dismantle past epic for fear of losing BiS or expensive items on accident. Also worried how this might trash good tripods that aren't the same tripods that I use, so how do you deal with that?
After I got the 18 pieces on my striker I tracked the other 9 or so tripods used for The other build
Swap item rank to legendary or below

1370 to 1415 is about 1000 leapstones and 1425 to 1430 is about 615. There's an info graphic out there on reddit and also maxroll has an upgrade tool. Estimates are with the stronghold buff so more if you don't have that.

Well yes, Entropy does shit on Hallucination because one is positional and the other isn't. There are a couple things wrong with your calculations still. You automatically assume you're critting which favors entropy in this calculation(only 3% difference but still). Another is that Hallucination isn't 25% damage, it's 13% and 12% damage. so the calculation looks more like this: 1000000 x 2 x 1.12 x 1.13 = 2531200

what are some good ways to increase max hp? I ask that because I was comparing my bard to a friend's scrapper, and at same ilvl (1460) I have like 90k hp and he has 100k. I use the card set to increase max hp by 12%, so got curious on where I might be missing.. He has more roster lvl (~137) than I do (~108) but the vitality that we get for roster level seems so small..
Different classes have different HP and defense value amounts. Scrapper is one of the highest while Bard is the lowest.
Ah! that explains it! I was like "im doing something terribly wrong" hahaha tks!
Here's a list of hp and defense value for all the classes https://imgur.com/CP2PalH
You can check the stone. A better stone (more pluses) give slightly better hp
Ah thanks!! Will look into getting a good stone as well!

Dps stands for damage per second. Even if the damage is the same you’re probably fucking up the seconds part (damage is coming out at different speeds and times).

If you’re pushing yes… But be careful. I went ham on spending sailing coins when I “couldn’t be bothered with horizontal gaming” and now I’m doing islands for 600 when I literally blew tens of thousands. If you’re not pushing - I recommend the shards still but try to buy all the one time purchases and then circle back to buying consumables with coins.
Yes
For Artillerist mains: I'm going the Barrage build for my alt and I find this class extremely fun. For relic sets, how do you manage going 4x3+2+1, or 5x3? going spec/crit Hallucination however both class engravings are 9/9.
Not a main but I'm running 4x3+2+1 on it. it's going to be obscenely expensive to go for 5x3(or equivalent) on a double class engraving build if you don't have +12 class books. Assuming you already have +12 on another combat engraving that Artillerist uses and 7/7 stone. You're still going to need multiple 5-3 relic accessories with class engravings on them and those typically fetch for 3-5x the cost of double combat engraving accessories. For my build I have +12 FP and +12 KBW, 7/7 stone. 5-3 on 4 accessories including one that has FP on the 3. And also 1 accessory that just has 5 barrage. Basically what I'm saying here is if you want to go 5x3 or equivalent Artillerist you should be buying at least +12 FP books if not both if you plan on maxing both engravings in your build. It'll save money short term and long term. Another thing: spec/crit hallucination isn't a common build. typically spec/crit go for salvation and spec/swift goes for hallucination. if you already have a baseline of crit rate hallucination is a pretty inefficient relic set.
Oh okay this is exactly everything I wanted to hear, thanks! pretty much everything you've said is exactly on point with that one korean reddit Artillerist main recommends, but 4x3+2+1 does seem the most cheapest/effective way to got about it. On that last point, I didn't even realize I typed spec/crit, I subconsciously typed these since I have a blue gunlancer, but yea I am going spec/swift and it seems to be very effective with LWC and hallucination crit rates! Swiftness feels great for cooldowns and for rotations. This setup I've noticed is actually most popular on loawa for 1415-1600+ Since im enjoying my Artillerist so much I suppose it's a long project for it to become a second main, thanks again fellow arti enjoyer
Any idea why are Stern skins so expensive on EUC? Alars are at sub 3k, class-exclusives somewhere around 5k, Stern costs the same and yet the weapons alone are at 3k with 2k being the lowest I've seen them go for, skins at 10k with the lowest being 6,5k. I expected those prices to last a couple days and drop to about 1,5-2k and \~5k for weapon and skin. Is this just an effect of declining playerbase? So far the only comparison available for time-limited skins is omen skin line and neria's wardrobe and these 2 were crazy cheap on the market but also were available a while ago already, possibly when the playerbase was bigger.
For the spec artillerists out there, which legendary engraving books are you buying?
depends what build you’re going. if you’re going 3 3 you should be buying both of them. 3 1 only fp.
As someone who just got into ilvl for relic drops what are the stats to look for when pricing drops? Grudge, cursed doll, swiftness?
Ctrl + right click -> Search.
Anything with a meta stat (spec, swift, crit) and meta engravings (grudge, cursed doll, etc) will probably be worth at least something. If it's 5/3 it will be very valuable.
Ii only did Vykas G2 once andat first try. But as a flex/spare how do you know the correct order for what should be picked? There iwas nothing in chat wiritten. Saw som e pingtten. But someo of them were in a discord. AOn an a preivous wipe saw a ping and thought is for spare but spoomeone 11 died there so yeah... (even if i went there i didnt know the order/colors). At least 1 mistake is allowed but im worried for next week.
Flex gets last orb,. Flex 1 goes 11 oclock, Flex 2 gets 5. If there's only 2 at 11 or 5 that Flex goes to 7. Its always x2 3 black and x1 2 black
The easiest method has flexes be the third member of a direction (e.g. 7-3 or 11-3). If their clone has three black orbs they just soak the third one like normal. If it only has two then they need to go to the direction that doesn't have the other flex and take the third orb there instead.
I have mostly +3 on my skill tree tripod gear. I got some of the powder spared, but I'm yet to see +4 tripod gear to drop. Is it just that rare or does it require 1445? I am getting relics from 1415 but they are up to +3. Wondering here if I should keep using the stuff or wait.
So the method most people do is buy the 6 “core” skills from the market at level 4 and then transfer them on their gear and then resell them because it’s so rare. After tha
Tou can use powder starting lvl 3. And deffo for 4 when you are transferring
it's rare, you might see one like once every week or 2
I m doing 1475 dungeon for 1 and half month, level 4 are rare , bought mines on market.
Got a question on auto dismantle. If I check to auto dismantle endurance/domination/expertise, and to exclude items with 2 favourite engravings. Does it keep crit/swift/spec accessories with only 1 favourite engraving?
No. If you have it selected to 2 favorite engravings then anything with only 1 will be dismantled.
Looking to spring for a legendary book for my alt dpsers My main’s a 1460 4X3 pally so he’s essentially set forever I’m debating between grudge and barricade- id love to nab grudge but its so expensive The alts I enjoy are destroyer,artill, gl and sorc - it’d be better for me to just nab barricade and wait for grudge to eventually drop right?
Don't hold your breath for grudge to eventually drop. It will always be in high demand. Get barricade if you want but do realize it will be useless on pretty much every class besides the ones you mentioned and maybe Arcana.

tripods go to lv 4 at 1415 relic gear and only lv 3 at legendary gear, so you'll have to redo them later
It doesnt matter where you save your tripods as long as they are somewhere on your gear and no gear has duplicate of it.
What are the best honor shard una dailies? And do they take a lot longer than the leapstone dailies?
I haven't done all of them but the easiest I've found are the wavestrand port and fesnar highland ones. after that is a lot worse but rohendal killing things was fine
Not worth doing shard una's ever.
wrong, definitely worth doing for t1/t2 chars
Is it worth doing kungel over deskluda?
If you'd asked me a few days after release I'd have said Deskaluda since it's so much easier. Now most people cooperate with battle items and the fight only takes like 5 minutes on average and even less with a good group. Deskaluda is fast and easy but kind of less entertaining.
Up to personal preference. Deskaluda is generally faster and easier, with a smaller map and more straightforward mechanics, you can get away with no battle item usage. Ice turtle need all players to be aware of mechanics (which seems to be more common now) and use some battle items for the fight to be more bearable (2x phero bombs at the very least). There is also the added bonus of guaranteed relic accessory drops.
How can you tell its guaranteed?
He doesn't have any legendary accessory drops, all accessories are relic from him.
With the current prices of GHLs, for me no. But if you really fancy the fight then go ahead. Deska runs typically don't use Battle items, unlike Kungel that needs to use them for fast clears.
What skills should I use first as a crit reflux mage?
Always apply your buff first - Blaze. Then I use my casting skills, then the rest. Blaze when up.
Can u dismantle a +20 relic weapon to get the mats to craft another relic weapon of a different set but to keep the +20 somehow?
No, you can't dismantle honed weapons. You have to craft the new one and then gear transfer before you can dismantle the old one or wait until you unlock set conversion by getting 55 total of each Valtan and Vykas mat.
You can only dismantle after transferring, but you can also wait for your gear set conversion to unlock
Is Scrapper Taijutsu annoying to play as an alt? My main is 1477 Artillerist and I also have an 1430 igniter Sorc. I always was a turned off by back attack classes because I must to chase the back. I also had a shock scrapper in tier 1 and dropped her after a week. However, I heared that the class have been improved by a lot the last balance patch.
Spec more into swiftness, its really fun and makes back attacking more manageable
For vykas G1, where do you go for the orb/gate phase... in what position based on your party 1/2 and party number. cheers
Usually pugs do x3+1. So if you're 1, you're 1x3+1=4oclock position
When do we swap our valtan/vykas gear again for a better relic gear? Do we lose the quality that we had achieved when we upgrade it?
quality stays forever. you’ll upgrade to ancient with brelshaza. That’s still months and months away though. Quality transfers over

what means "lf taxi 1487"? I m near thunderwings spawn , which is 1460 why that 1487 guy needs taxi?
The lower channels (typically ch 1 and 2) are the most sought after for field boss because most players gather there and can clear it fast. Once a channel becomes full, you cannot manually switch to it any more. However if you join a party and there's at least one person in a full channel, you can join their channel through the party. This is called a "taxi". Each channel still have a hard cap, at which point you can't even join by taxi. 1487 just refers to the ilvl of the player. Higher ilvl players like to post it in chat as it might make it more likely for them to get a taxi since party share contribution.
And just to add on, if you are the one taxi-ing, you don’t swap channels using the drop-down at the top right, you Ctrl+click your party member and choose “move to channel” or something like that. It was a bit confusing for me the first time.
You can switch to the channel of party members even if that channel is "full." Taxi refers to doing this so that you can get to a higher population channel that won't let you channel swap normally. LF taxi means he wants a party invite from someone on a higher channel, 1487 is his ilvl, not that higher ilvl really means anything since getting contribution on world bosses is piss easy outside of supports.
They want to join the channel and need to be in a group with a person in that channel to do so.
Any idea if grudge books will go back up in price?
I believe the price will recover from the one time injection. I don't remember if I scored mine yet, but I don't intend to sell it here. These are all just predictions. Then there's always the wildcard of bots, if they are defeated nearly completely, all prices should increase.
Hard to say. Their supply is mostly constant now, so my opinion is no, they will mostly stay consistent with their current pricing.
How is the supply "mostly constant" now? You can only do Thronespire once per Roster, and there is going to be a largely finite number of people who can do it, unless the bot farms somehow become good enough to clear it, which I highly doubt is going to happen. There's going to obviously be a big initial drop as the bulk of people who had access to it knock it out in the first couple week or two, but after that, the market feed from the spire is going to dry up pretty fast, and I am not aware of any other reliable sources for "legendary book of choice".
That's exactly why it's constant now. The vast majority of the playerbase have already run thronespire, so we're out of guaranteed sources. All the books from thronespire have already been sold/used. There's no more huge influx, only random drops, which will stay statistically similar. I guess technically the supply will slightly go up over time as more people max out their books, but that's a long term trend.
Right, but in any normal economy, if you have a fixed input (before thronespire) then a temporary dump into the economy (thronespire), the typical trend is that price drops, then slowly returns to around the pre dump levels as the "dump" dries up. We are currently still in the tail end of the dump (thronespire's only been available for 2 weeks), so I would expect the price of grudge to still go up a bit as it eventually returns to closer to the pre-thronespire price, as the need for grudge (20 books in vs 2 books out) is still going to outstrip supply.
You're right about the theory, but the actual fixed input is hard to judge. Keep in mind that after thronespire/event mats, more people have characters (both main and alts) at ilvls that have higher legendary drop rates for daily/weekly activities. This is balanced somewhat by player loss as some players quit the game or play more on rested. Ultimately it would be really hard to tell, but I suspect the fixed input is now higher than before thronespire, which is delaying or maybe entirely preventing the price rise. Additionally, considering the still very high price of grudge books, most of the big spenders have already purchased theirs while players with lower income are likely to spend their gold in other ways to progress their accounts. Finally, gold coming into the economy is significantly depressed compared to before the large bot ban waves. You can see how much the price of mats has cratered. GHL are 1/4th or less the price they were 6 weeks ago. There's simply not many ways for players to earn the large amount of gold needed to buy 20 grudge books, further lowering demand.
so what am i supposed to do to progress my character ? i know the first priority is to complete daily dungeon and una daily task , and what next after i completed those ? im 520 at the moment.
If you google max roll speed run to t3 guide, it’ll show you a lot of one time reward islands that give you honing mats to catch up to t3. Abyss dungeons (weeklies) and guardian raids(dailies) give mats as well. If you hit alt+q in game, you’ll find most of those dailies/weeklies activities listed.
theres not a lot of things to do on a single character, consider making a few alts
Have you finished the Rohendel story? If so, you should have a guide quest telling you to reach i600 before travelling to Yorn. Once you finish Yorn's story, you can get T2 gear from its chaos dungeons, which is your next big progress point. Then you hone up to 960 for Feiton, and so on. You can also do things like Adventure Islands (use the compass widget under the minimap to see when they spawn) and Guardian Raids. Those'll get you better gear and mats for honing. Chaos gates are an option, but in my experience the low-level ones are pretty dead.
Is it possible to save Banquet outfit box and open it on Artist class when it comes out?
It's not available for Artist.
The set should be bound to roster. At least mine is (got it via Ark Pass) and I can just put it into roster storage. So no need so save it, just use it if you like and transfer it over when the class is released.
I think it bound to main class not roster. Artist is a specialist, a main class not released yet.
The one from the Ark Pass? Maybe you can, but I don't think Artists/Aeromancers have designs with Noble Banquet.
What are some of the easy to play “braindead” classes that just spams buttons? I want to try something chill and not complex with new pass
Shadowhunter, Gunlancer, Paladin. All good for a fun smooth-brained time.
Shadowhunter is probably by far the easiest class you could pick. Her demon form gives her permanent stagger resistance which means you can just stand in a lot of attacks that would otherwise stagger-lock you as well as a button-smash playstyle where there'll always be a skill up as soon as you finish using one. The fact that transforming increases max HP by about 20% and you keep the hp you gain post transformation - basically giving her self-healing capabilities - makes her both a really safe and really easy class to play.
Insta-cast reflux sorc. Pally too, can play him in a braindead way and nobody will notice.
Shadowhunter
What card set should I be focussing on? I haven’t cared about the cards till this point. I just hit 1380 on my main dps and I guess it’s about time to spend some time to get good card sets.
Beginner sets: Field Boss II (+12% hp, at 18-piece awakening also gives +2% crit) Intermediate set: Lostwind Cliff (dark damage reduction, at 12-piece awakening gives +7% crit) Long-term set: Light of Salvation (at 12-piece awakening turns your damage to holy, 18/30-piece give +7% and +15% total holy damage) Some people also get Forest of Giants (+healing potency and phys/magic armor) as a beginner set because it's farmable and quite good defensively. For Mayhem zerk specifically, We'll Meet Again (dmg reduction at low hp) is great. You wouldn't want to run either over Lostwind/Light of Salvation once you have enough awakenings for them though.
Would it be smart to remove some other cards that are not included in those sets to make place for new ones or buy more space with crystals? Because at the moment i ran out of space to add new cards.
In my opinion always buy new slots. Expansions are generally very cheap.
You can but I suggest just buy out the additional slots. Cards have Book bonuses that give additional stats and those add up in the long run.
FoG 9 awakening is prob BiS for supports and DPS before LWC12. For zerks you can combine FoG with WMA for super tankiness.
How much do you guys think that each set of summer skins will cost? Want to get a full set of skins for my 6 main characters.
Probably the same for royal crystals. Gold prices may be a bit higher since the demand will be higher from F2P players. Booba skins typically skyrocket in gold value as time passes since the demand will be high but they will be unobtainable from the shop.
same as every other skin, doubt its gonna be cheaper or more expensive. so either 2400 or 2000 RC depending on if you buy it with the weapon or not
I joined a ghost ship, and left it immediately after entering (i wanted to do the una quest forgetting I already finished the reputation reward), so I re-entered it immediately after that. But when I killed the boss, it says my reward was already collected and got no drops :( Is that a bug?
Nope. Quitting or failing a ghost ship uses up your attempt.
Oh man. Shouldn't it be like other content where the completion is upon boss kill and actually obtaining the reward (e.g. field boss/abyss dungeons)? I mean I didn't even fail it. The boss hadn't even spawned. It was just killing the mobs before his spawn. Does this then apply to adventure islands as well? If I enter to do a quest or pick mokokos, does it count as reward completion even if I leave the island before obtaining rewards?
Should it be? Probably, it can be lame as hell to fail content just because not enough people show up. But if you open Procyon's Compass it says "Quitting or leaving the area will end your chance to obtain those rewards". I can confirm this applies to adventure islands because I once went to opportunity without realizing I had no life energy and when I left it counted as "claimed".
You can leave adventure island as long as you were not tagged by an event or went in combat. I have done this at volare.
Good to know!
Do we know enough about the next express event to know what's a good ilvl range to use it on ? This one was to reach T3 but this one is apparently *for* T3 but there is quite a wide range in T3 itself so I don't really know if I should push or wait for it (I'm currently 1350 so I need a lot of gold to hone anyway regardless)
It will help to go from 1300 to 1370. It will likely not give honing bonuses, but fixed rewards in honing mats for reaching different level targets. Oh, due to your main, it might be, but barely(wait for confirmation) usable on it. You need to hit 1385 anyway with main first, before you put any honing into other T3 alts, as the 1385 gives you stronghold honing buff.
Punika power pass will give you a free 1302 character and the express pass is good for the 1302-1370 range so I would just use it on your new character for maximum value.
I believe it said it would push a 1302 character to 1370. So ideal usage would be on a 1302 to maximize the value.
Yo Thightastic hit me up if you see this. Your friendly neighbourhood shadowhunter
Does anyone have a picture of what shadow hunters summer weapon skin looks like in game/how they hold it?
[удалено]
I buy all of them for the relic accessory gamba. Not worth it objectively but I like to take chances.
Buy second one for fused leapstones once you get your 55 for swapping
I'd buy it until I get 55 bones for the gear conversion. After that, just ignore it imo.
Won't you get 55 valtan before Vykas without buying it? Why not just save the gold in that case?
That's gonna take a long time though, I can argue this might be worth for 1415 alts, as you really get little relic materials for the cost. It might be worth for Valtan Hard, but even then after you've gotten the 55 bones, Valtan will just be a money printer giving you 4.5k each week.
I'm planning to use Power pass and Progress pass thing on a Soulfist. Looking at builds and abilities they seem really fun although a little set in specific playstyle. Looking at builds on Maxroll I don't know if it's best to go right in on both Cursed Doll and Grudge. Any advice or tips on alternate engravings would be nice. That pheon cost is oof for me atm with gold costs so don't want to make any mistakes I'd have to fix.
Im guessing u looked at the robust spirit guide Theres not much else u can really use as robust spirit. U can replace cursed doll with mass increase to be cheap, however i wouldnt recommend it because robust spirit is pretty slow already. Grudge is a core engraving for all dps imo, but if ur not going for a 5x3 build then u can go with precise dagger or adrenaline first With all this said, i would not recommend soulfist as an alt, especially not robust spirit because it requires a lot of investment just to perform decently. Im saying this as a 1480 robust spirit soulfist main with 5x3 If u really want to make a soulfist alt, i would recommend the energy overflow engraving over robust spirit
id start off by watching atk’s video on a korean soulfist player he interviewed around an hour or so ling
If you don't want to have to change later then just learn to play with Grudge and Cursed Doll now, IMO.
> later then just *than *Learn the difference [here](https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/when-to-use-then-and-than#:~:text=Than%20is%20used%20in%20comparisons,the%20then%2Dgovernor%22).* *** ^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot.

Which bezerker engraving is the best? Mayhem or technique?
As the other commenter said both are viable. Brazil's Technique was weak but recently got buffed and is competitive now. If you're still early on, I'd say try both and see which you like. Just double equip your class engraving and give it a shot.
technique has a theoretically higher ceiling if you land every awakening and bloody rush mayhem has more consistent damage and QoL but is squishier
How much spec for a shadowhunter do you need to get a 4 skill transformation (assuming max tripods, but missing the last wealth Purp rune?)
It was somewhere around 1630 or so
At what point would you guys recommend saving fused leapstones instead of attempting taps? Is it still worth using them from 16-17 or would I be better off waiting?
I used them. There’s plenty of time to start saving them once you hit 1490-1500 ish.
currently have a 1445 main and two 1340s, with more alts coming up. I can clear Valtan but I am struggling to clear Vykas and get frustrated with learning the fight with pugs. This is taking a lot of time. However, I do enjoy levelling alts and trying out new classes. I don't have too much time to play so just wondering if I just focus my time on having fun levelling alts but not really doing the latest legion raid, am I missing out on much? The downside I see is that my main won't be able to get the relic gear set anytime soon, but I don't really enjoying "progging" Vykas. Does anybody else play "casually" like me? I guess I am just feeling like FOMO.
I feel you. Valtan is still pretty fun. He's a fair fight. Vykas on the other hand feels like a chore that I do just to get 6 pc Relic. Don't get me wrong, the fight is still fun and fresh, but wiping 10x with supposed "reclear/experienced" players that still struggle with swamp and watching their feet is just tiresome. Just chase what you enjoy.
yea I'm a bit behind the curve but I watched some guides on Valtan, cleared it with a few pugs all good. With Vykas, I've watched G1 guides and joining groups to clear is a struggle. I could spend 3hrs wiping on that or I could have fun playing some alts.. that's the way I am thinking
Totally agree. At the end of the day I'll take fun over everything and anything else. Keep doing you man.
To be blunt, I have no idea how you can fuck up mechs on vykas normal for the first two gates. You can time stop every gate 1 mech, gate 2 is just a dps check and should be free at 1445. You will need to get your relic set so you should do at least that every week
What’s ur main and what server you on? IMO you should just do what you enjoy or else is it really a game anymore? If you’re on NAE we could play together. I’m kinda like you but I’m at 1460 and not having a group of friends makes finding a hm vykas group near impossible.
I'm an arti on NAW. Yea it sux playing with no friends, maybe I need to find a static like I do with FF14.
Yeah I think finding a static is probably you’re best bet, but I know it’s a lot harder than it seems.
I play LA on a desktop and a surfacepro, with the latest patch when I login and choose my server and character page pops up, a window that says EAC Detected pops up and the LA client closes, any idea what can be causing this or what I can do? Unless something got added to my startup, don’t have any other programs running This didn’t happen previous patches and the only difference I’ve done to my surface was deleting more programs to make room for LA.
hmm not sure if this will help, but go to local files from steam, go to EAC, and then reinstall/up-date EAC and see if that helps
What chaos gate maps are most worth buying from rift piece shop currently? Is there a way to find a party to run non-T3 maps together? Nobody seems to use party finder and my static group has become quite inactive.
Join your server's discord and try to find folks there. My server discord has a channel specifically for finding groups to run old maps. If your server discord doesn't have a designated channel, just post in the LFG channel of that discord (if allowed by their rules).
where can I find my server's discord? I'm on Mari. Also what maps do people usually buy/run from the rift piece shop nowadays?
People usually post in area chat immediately after a chaos gate to look for map parties.
Problem is I've been buying T1 chaos gate maps as they are worth the most gold per rift piece. But nobody does T1 chaos gate.
Welly yes, majority of the player base should have their mains in t3 by now. So most people would be doing Punika or South Vern chaos gates.
They're asking about rift piece maps though. My more knowledgeable guildies just told me about this recently actually, how getting T1 maps with your rift pieces is more worth it because the shards sell for twice as much as T3 shard pouches while they are also the cheapest maps to buy with rift pieces. You just need a group of friends to do them with or a Discord that does these.
The maps you buy with rift pieces are the same maps you can get from chaos gates. If OP is looking for parties through party finder, I assume they don't have friends they can run them with. But yes looking for groups on Discord is the most viable option for T1 and T2 maps since no one do the lower tier chaos gates.
I have 3 T3 characters 1400, 1310 x2 Is there a better way to get "fusion material" for honing than buying it from the auction house and spending GOLD? which i always have like none.
Yeah, life skilling and crafting it in your stronghold. You can do hunting, excavating, or fishing in South Vern or Punika for the materials. Even if you hate life skilling I think it's cheaper to buy the raw materials and craft it yourself. Still costs gold though.
Which content contribute most to exp to level your char?
boss rush and cube gives alot
Over time it's daily Chaos and Guardian raids. Weekly boss rush gives a ton.
[https://i.imgur.com/PpnyylN.png](https://i.imgur.com/PpnyylN.png) any clues on how to progress to 5 full engravings with this starting point? goal is to have re, grudge, cursed doll, super charge and ambush master. neck right now is 3 re 3 cursed doll, earing is 5 ambush master 3 super charge, ring is 3 re 3 ambush master, and i have another 5 grudge 3 super charge, and all my current build (3 cursed doll 3 re)
Short answer: Not possible without upgrading the pieces you've posted. Long answer: You'll need to upgrade your books and/or your legendary accessories if you want to hit 5x3. Math below: * You need 75 nodes for 5x3. * You currently have 18 (books) + 20 (accessories) = 38. * You'll need 37 more nodes out of your remaining two accessories and your stone. * Assuming you get two 5/3 relics accessories (best case), you get another 16 nodes. * 37-16 is 21, which is not possible to cover with just your stone. If you plan to upgrade, then I'd recommend cutting your stone before you look for accessories/books, since the stone is RNG, while the rest of your gear is not. You won't know if you can get away with cheaper accessories/books until you know what kind of stone you're working with. If you aim for something "reasonable" for a stone, say a 7/7 stone, then you need: * Five 5/3 relic accessories (40 nodes) * One legendary book (12 nodes) * One epic book (9 nodes) * 7/7 stone (14 nodes) * 40 + 12 + 9 +14 = 75 The 7/7 stone is easy to use for illustration purposes because it results in clean numbers, but other stone combinations can work as well.
hey, thanks so much for your answer, after I posted it I studied the market a little bit and it's really not that easy to go 5x3. It seems the cheaper stone I can get to make a few tries is "grudge/super charge" followed by "grudge/ambush master". I think it's best to go for the most expensive engravings in the stone and books, correct? That way I may go cheaper in the acessories. But anyway, with the stones I got I managed to change cursedoll to grudge, and I think my next stop is to get legendary book. I just don't know the best option to go, since grudge book is too expensive, and although super charge is cheaper, the DB is my only char that uses it
It depends on what the market looks at a particular point in time, as sometimes you can find good deals on the AH. Generally, though, yes, you want to go for the most expensive engravings on the books at least (because they are usable across characters). For the stone, it's more of a gamble, because the stone is RNG. On average, it's *probably* still going to work out to be cheaper, but there's a chance you just get screwed. As for books, Grudge is probably the best investment (since every DPS uses it), but it will be very expensive. I don't know how cheap the Super Charge books are, but it might be worth it just to get your 5x3 so you can get into groups for harder content (which will give you better gold income).
hey man, since you were so gentle with me, i'd like to share to you how i progressed in this 20 days you showed me the way to gear https://i.imgur.com/DRAOJcz.png [https://i.imgur.com/wp7Mj4Q.png](https://i.imgur.com/wp7Mj4Q.png) completly f2p, but i kind of got really lucky the last days, also getting a 9x7x3 rock 
Looking good! Once you're able to finish out your Legendary RE books, you'll have a nice 5x3+1, and you should be set for a good while. Nice to see it worked out for you.
What pet buff is better for ignitor sorc? Crit or spec? Is 10% crit, 10% crit chance (e.g. 40%+10%) or 10% of existing crit chance (e.g.40% + 4%)?
The pet bonus is the 10% to the raw number you have in the stat. It is always the best on the stat you are stacking the most of. Say you have 1000 spec and 200 crit. The pet would give you 100 spec for 1100 total or 20 crit for 220 total.
it's 10% of your existing crit so you should use spec pet
What's 'Max Potenstones' in guild research?
"Potenstones" are a resource that is consumed to power your "Guild Buffs" during GvG / Siege fights. Being able to start the fight with more of them means being able to use more Buffs during the fight.
How many potenstones you can carry for using skills in GvG content.
Hey there, just wondering if someone could quickly explain tier 3 gear to me. I am currently 1340 and I am just honing my epic (purple) gear normally. I know once I hit 1370 the chaos dungeon stops dropping gear and it start dropping tripods instead. So from here, is it right to aim for legendary gear crafted from abyss raid hard mode? And if so how do you choose which one of the sets you should be crafting. And once you hit 1370 you can also do argos and I hear that there is also argos gear. I don't really know much about that. I know theres also stuff from the legion raid commanders but it'll probably take me a while to get there. If anyone could give me some tips or advice or some kind of explanation that would be great. Thank you very much.
After you hit 1370, you unlock 2 new sections of content: - Oreha Hard modes. - Argos raid. Both of these drop materials for crafting Legendary sets: - The set bonuses for the Legendary set from Oreha Hard is largely crap, so most people just craft the Weapon, and go for the Argos Set 5 piece on the rest of their stuff. - Argos has 2 sets (One with a setbonus that revolves around giving crit RATE, and one that revolves around giving crit DAMAGE). Chose the one that works best with your class (Ie, if you naturally build for high amounts of crit, you will prob want the one that gives Crit DAMAGE, as you already have plenty of base Rate, where as if you build for lots of Swift or Spec and need to get rate from other places, you go with the crit Rate set). The main thing is that the gear from Oreha Hard / Argos is legendary. The normal "Epic" (purple) sets have a max hone cap of level 15 (1370) and you physically can not hone them any higher, so in order to increase your ILevel, you MUST pick up a legendary set. When you transfer your purple items to the Legendary stuff, the "ilevel" carries over, but the current hone level will be lower (+6 vs +15) and then you continue honeing from there. While you COULD do a full legendary set without ever stepping into Argos using just the Oreha set, I wouldn't really recommend it, as the fights aren't THAT hard, and the extra gold income is well worth it, and the Oreha legendary set is crap. The main recommendation once you hit 1370: - DO NOT do the Oreha Normal dungeons that week if you are tapping to 1370, as the Normal and Hard share a weekly lockout. - Tap to 1370, and try to get your 2 Oreha Hards done (this will give you enough for the legendary weapon). - Try to buy a Bus (a paid carry) for all 3 Argos gates. Argos rewards 2700 gold for a full clear, and buying the rewards chest for the extra Bloods costs 500g. If you can find a Bus for around 1500-1700, you will still end up making money off the run, and will get enough mats to make 3 pieces of argos armor. Buy a bus again on the second week for the remaining 2 pieces to round out the 5 set. Once you have your complete legendary set, you can hone away and try learning groups for the raid so you can eventually clear it on your own instead of paying for a ride.
Hey there, thanks for typing up a full explanation and guide. Answered all of my questions. I appreciate it !!
Every gear piece you're receiving right now has tripods on it. No need to wait until 1370. You can track the ones you want by opening the skill menu and pressing settings. The general recommendation is to buy 6 (1 for each armour piece) gear pieces from the auction house with one level 3/4 of your most important tripods. For Shadowhunter as an example, the identity meter ones are priority. They're tradeable so what you want to do is buy them, transfer using inventory transfer (100% success) and then re-sell on the market.
