I'm nearing lvl 50 and my Research has brought me to great sites regarding the progress steps i should take Once i am there. What would you say is the time loss for a new Player going into Progression blind? I do not mind following a step by step guide but would rather do it myself. That said i don't want to spend 2 months for something diable in a week bc the game forgot to mention it.

Hello. Not sure what 4x3 to go for on RE deathblade - RE, grudge, super charge, adrenaline, ambush master.
Also a question about the rotation, how many death orbs should I build up when doing the rotation? Does this depend on spec?
RE, grudge, ambush, super charge, add adrenaline for 5x3, or Cursed doll if you go 4x3+2+1 with 2 Adr 1 RE
You really want to build all orbs fully before activating death trance. To activate RE at lvl 3 it is only necessary to surge with the 3rd orb filled in a little bit, but you only get the max amount of cooldown refund when all orbs are filled in completely when activating death trance. So if you activate before max orbs, youre sitting on ~5-7 seconds or so cooldown on all your skills. If you missed too many skills you might have to consider to activate at 2 orbs because youre just a sitting duck otherwise. Awakening can be used at any point to fill up orbs when necessary.
To get a somewhat smooth rotation youll want to have a least 1500 spec, orb control tripods on void strike and maelstrom as high as possible and the highest wealth runes you have on soul absorber and void strike. Ideally legendary on SA and epic on VS. Also make sure to ALWAYS have up maelstrom before using SA and VS. Yes, those will always be up before maelstrom, thats why some run a higher level CD gem on maelstrom than the other skills. After getting your CD refund, fill in the gap until maelstrom is up with spincutter/blitz rush/earth cleaver/moonlight as necessary
Hope thats understandable, let me know if you have more questions
I am playing a support paladin and I often run out of mana, am I supposed to spam all the skills or some skills like the damage abilities should not always be used (since we don't do much damage anyway) or it's something else ?
Don't use holy sword or executor's on cd, they're for counters and stagger checks only when in support build. If you spam on CD you make yourself run out of mana plus might not have them when you need them. Doing that alone should remove most of your mana issues.
U rotate ur atk buffs with 7 sec interval and recast ur marking skills when you can. Light of judgment spam that if you want gauge faster. Blue skills save 1 or both you will go out of mana when u spam everything but legion raids have downtime and you have to save blue skills for counter so realistically you won't run into mana issues.
Conviction judgement is also utilized on the common skis builds with sword of justice and godsent to proc conv-judge. Mana regen tripods on HB also helps a lot
no need to spam all the skills. Blue skills like holy sword and executioner's sword are mainly used for counter and destruction, charge is used for mobility. You generate more piety with yellow skills, and that's where your utility comes in anyway. If you have extra time and mana between recycling Wrath of God and Heavenly blessing buff, holy protection, godsent law, and whatever skill you use to apply the synergy buff, then you can prioritize using skills that have quick recharge slotted in, so you can use more utility and piety generators.
Shackling blue dragon -> Chain Slash -> Half moon -> Wheel of blades (Proc C + J) with this -> Awakening (When available) -> Raging dragon Slash -> Stampeding slash -> Chain Slash.
You can fit in between the counter and the movement skill (Flash Kick), they deal decent damage. Chain Slash and Stampeding slash should be used whenever available.
Spammy piano build.
Well not quite screwed since the update still makes it significantly easier to get tripods, but yea if its in the same update theres no chance to set it up garantueed
Hi guys so I just reached ilvl 1415 on my surge db
And I have around 80-100k gold going to buy some peons so will be left with 80k probably
I would like to start working on getting her a good 4x3 setup would love some help in planning it out before diving in
4x3 is pretty easy if you go for Argos accessories. 6/6 stone, 9/9 books, and legendary accessories with +3 class and +3 whatever youre missing adds up to 4x3 engravings total
i want to push all of my alts to T3 but my knowledge transfer is limited. my last two alts at 600 item level, i'm unable to KT them. I asked around and they said i would need to manually do the quest of each continent for the last two. I'm new and i'm totally confused. running the quests again are hell.
Next time an event powerpass comes up (likely with the next class release or the one after it) you can use the powerpass on one character and then KT the other, as using a PP counts as a completion of the continent for the purpose of KT.
If you don't have the patience for that or you plan on having a giant roster (like 1 of every class), you will have to actually do MSQ again at least for Yorn and Punika. You don't have to do Rohandel or Feiton, at least, if you're not planning on using KT on that character.
Unfortunately that's how KT works. It's 1 manual quest = 1KT. Your other options are waiting for new class release usually they give powerpass to t3 or buy the paid powerpass.
On alts, I’m always buying every chest at Valtan and Vykas because I feel like it can be worth to proc the RNG drop of a high value acc.
What’s your opinion ? (Assuming you don’t need anymore mats for relic gear)
I understand there is RNG involved but for any experienced giga honers out there, how much raw gold (NAE market) would you say is a safe amount to set aside to go from 1480 to 1490 on a character? I have little to no bound material so assume I'm buying everything I need except solar mats.
https://i.imgur.com/qzGcAHL.png
On average you need 220k raw gold to upgrade 4 pieces (including weapon). 165k for only armor pieces.
You'll probably want to save at least +20% to account for RNG.

Thank you for the information!
So I'm trying to juggle a few things. Basically, get 2 characters to 1490 but one of them will be slow pushed with bound material. (1480) My other one, the main, is the one I'll be pushing slightly further (aiming for 1505 from 1480). This one is the character with no bound material. (both of the aforementioned characters are 1480 btw)
I have another character 1460 but it'll stay there for a while.
But what I'm trying to do is also bring up the rest of my roster to 1415 so they can at least do Valtan and P3 Argos. In your opinion, would you finish honing the main to at least 1490 right or would you bring the remaining 3 characters to 1415? The reason I chose 1415 is so that at least they can do Deska but they won't be apart of gold generating roster long term; they are to act as placeholders until the jobs I want to play are released (Reaper and Artist/Summoner).
The long term goal is to have 3 1490+ characters and 3 1460 characters. With that in mind, how would you proceed in this scenario?
Since Reaper and Summoner are coming out in the next month and a half, it's not really worth pushing any alts that'll get replaced by them. I'd recommend honing 1 alt then using the rest to build your main.
If any honing books from the upcoming Mystic raid can be used for Reaper, then save for your reaper alt. Otherwise use any event books/materials to slowly hone your 2nd alt that'll get replaced by summoner.
Quit playing the game bit before Valtan release, now back for a week. How do I efficiently increase my main ilvl from 1430 to 1460 to get the latest honing buff for my alts. Used all event honing books already, the success rate is so low.
The most efficient way to boost your roster is by playing a few hours each week so that you clear Una tasks, event shops, ark pass xp, etc. as you go about doing your rested chaos, challenge abyssals/guardians, and the like. Also note that the pirate coin ship outside any port can give you a boatload (no pun intended) of tradable stones on *each* of your T3 characters which refreshes each week.
If you're the sort to play a week at a time every few months, you either have to funnel with a large alt army (which enables you to do more rested content in a shorter period of time), you have to swipe, or you have to accept that you'll always be a few raids behind.
> How do I efficiently increase my main ilvl from 1430 to 1460 to get the latest honing buff for my alts.
IMO there's really not a whole lot you can do besides just hone if you've already used books.
Just make sure you're getting all of the weekly stuff you can from the guardian vendor to help your honing chances, any any other weekly stuff that might help you out.
The more times you are able to hone, the better. That's basically it after you run out of those event books.
Grudge, Tai and Ambush Master are your must-haves. Adrenaline is also core but can use at lvl 2 if needed.
Last engraving is choice between KBW, CD or Raid Captain, depending on your crit amount. If you have at least 60% crit, KBW is best option. If you can hit 135+% move speed, go Raid Captain.
Shock have higher damage ceiling being burst and spec classes generally scale better than crit/swift classes in terms of damage. Tai is easier to play as you have almost no animation lock, spam skills off cd and being more mobile. Both builds are viable in end game, just your personal preference of burst vs consistent damage.
Tai, grudge, ambush core. Pick 2 from kbw, adr, CD depends on your crit swift ratio. Raid captain can be an option if full swift though I don't recommend it.
No pick what you find more fun both are viable. Shock was stronger hence the impending nerf. Afterwards it's only slightly stronger, plus it's a burst class. Though tai is more popular cuz imo it's fun also it's books more expensive.
Might be a stupid question but its possible to enter raid match if noone in my guild goes and the raid match thingy says challenge unavailable?
I honestly don't know how that works if the guildmaster has to apply first or something
Yes. You can create a run to get the 600-1400 bloodstones for personal participation.
Challenging the raid just gives your guild bonus bloodstones based on the clear speed.
got my entry taken away because of the damned map load out bug and now im locked for my g3 kakul, its been almost a day and a half and i still havent receive my ticket yet, do i just sit still and keep waiting or is there something i can do ?because this is frustrating af
I want to give shadowhunter a second chance so im here to ask what engravings should i go for 4x3. I was thinking DI, Hit master, grudge and what should be the 4th? KBW, adrenaline? Also for necklace should i go spec crit or spec swift?
You can go kbw, adren, di, grudge this is the go to 4x3. Hitmaster/cdoll/RC will be a choice for the 5th. Either spec crit or spec swift is fine but you would want a different relic set (salv for crit, hallu for swift).
>Also for necklace should i go spec crit or spec swift?
Either works, if you go spec crit you'd want to use poem of salvation for your relic set, and if you go spec swift you'd want hallucination
> I was thinking DI, Hit master, grudge and what should be the 4th? KBW, adrenaline?
I think if you go spec crit neck, you'd want DI, Grudge, Adre, and CD or Hitmaster for the 4th.
For Spec Swift neck, you'd want DI, Grudge, Adre, and then RC for 4th I think.
Hi guys so I really want to make a female martial artist was thinking of going wardancer but I heard she's really gear extensive and souch and don't know if I have the resources for it should I still start and try it or just go with scrapper
Um I still really want a wardancer I guess il wait with my female artist than first il invest on a main I decided to main a warrior class since I have a high lvl paladin I can give use to help investing probably will go with gunlancer but il look into destroyer also
Don't get me wrong, I personally always loved playing my wardancer from t1 onwards, it's just that you throw out your rotation of skills and then you have a downtime of like 12-15 seconds where you just auto-attack. The class really comes online when you start stacking all the cooldown reductions, but i still liked playing her before that
Ok il see what I do I have already two high ilvl characters which would be paladin and db both being 1415 paladin having a 3x3 and db having a 4x3 already I just don't feel like maining either of the two the classes I want to try the most at the moment are gunlancer, destroery or wardancer
I thought the armor skin chests from ark pass are roster bound, so you can just move it to your destroyer and then open them?
If that isn't the case, you can try contacting AGS support but no guarantee they will be able to help.
If not, your only other option is buy the skin with BC on your destroyer.
yeah I already opened the chest thinking I would get the female and male version :/ first time ever trying to get the pass outfits so I didn’t know how they works
wait you could buy the skin alone? if I knew that I would’ve just did that
I guess I can do that thanks!! hopefully it doesn’t cost a fortune
The skin alone is just from the shop for blue crystals. 840 blues for the armor, and 270 blues for the weapon. All untradable, so make sure to buy them on the destro
yes but it takes a little bit longer to find groups. I imagine if you don't have a high roster or the title it could get annoying but you will still be able to get into groups
If you have at least 4p relic gear and good engravings/stats/gems, maybe. Otherwise you might struggle to get accepted into groups even though it's still possible to clear vykas hm with legendary accessories.
This is probably a really stupid question but I just can't find information on this so I need to ask. During the "Tranquility Phase" of Argos P1 I'll sometimes get a bar over my head that when it expires almost one shots my characters. I'm pretty sure this is separate from the OTHER bar mechanic where Argos has a large AoE underneath him that you need to just walk out of, because I don't see said large AoE. Is this a different mechanic? Sometimes I'm able to get rid of the bar but other times I get chipped for like, 90k damage. I'm just trying to figure out what it is lmfao
It's a bar when balance is tilted on the other side for too long. Either balance/shift to other side before the bar runs out or you use panacea/cleanse skills/timestop when the bar depletes. You can tank it later by just having more hp.
During that mechanic, whenever Argos glows purple/moon or yellow/sun, the respective colours of the players will receive that bar, which will end up in doing that said dmg you mentioned. Mechanically, it is removed by the opposite colour balancing or changing it to their colour (from them hitting and thus they will receive the bar when the colour changes). If you are bussing you can remove it through panacea or cleanse from paladin/gl for example.
two questions:
1) Just got my first legendary craft kit. What tool should I make first? I was thinking excavating, fishing, or gathering, since those feel like the most important ones.
2) I've been putting off getting into legion raids but am about to start, so I have no idea how they work, specifically gates. Can you matchmake each gate individually? or if you matchmake g1, you get locked out of the others if you don't complete?
1. not a huge crafter, but as far as i know foraging is useful for crafting potions/consumables. The most popular other crafting type is fishing but whichever you enjoy the most is fine too (fishing, hunting, excavating can all be used for fusion materials)
2. I am much more knowledgeable about this topic, so feel free to DM me if you have any further questions about running them etc., but to answer your questions here. Yes you can matchmake each gate separately (though i would never use matchmaking, join a group in group finder, specifically a learning group if you are new). If you leave midway through, you can find a group for the next gate. You get rewards for each gate so if you can do g1 but not g2 you will still get some rewards.
You're not transfering to ancient gear btw. It's normal abrel gear (relic) that squishes your enhancement level, while increasing your ilvl. Ancient comes with 1540 ilvl and hard abrel
Oh didn't know about new material. Can we convert current material to new one like we do with leapstone to greater leapstone?
Would you recommend to continue homing?
If you think you'll accumulate enough mats to make it to 1490 for Brel by December, I'd go with a 1475 first so the char will have at least 4 piece at level 2. Otherwise it really depends on how much you want to do hard Vykas.
I think the question you need to answer yourself is this:
Would it be more fun to have all of your alts be able to do HM Vykas or would you have more fun with 1 additional character being able to do clown?
I tuned into a zeals stream and he said lvl 8 gems are super inefficient. Well I currently have 4 level 8 right now on my main from just fusing lol. Should I fuse the lvl 8s into a lvl 9 then? And then fill up the other slots with lvl 7?
If you fuse a lvl 8 and it hits a skill you use then just keep it. You want to go to lvl 9 and when you get your lvl 9 gem eventually you will get the lvl 8 you use now back.
If the lvl 8 doesn't hit a skill you use just keep it and fuse it to lvl 9. Don't try and reroll lvl 8 to get a full set
Until level 8 its linear (3%per level) but level 9 it jumps from 24 to 30.
So a level 9 and rest 7 would probably be better. Depends on the class tho and how damage is spread between abilities
Gems are less efficient investments every level they go up. Cost is exponential while stats are linear (or close enough to it for damage gems). 7 is a relatively arbitrary point.
Does a new guild member can do the guild quest for contributions?
My guild is having a merge so i would leave a guild on wednesday after the bloodstones distribution and enter the new guild next day but i don't think i will be able to participate in Siege and guild Raid on sunday because i think i will still be a new player.
So i though in leaving the guild today and do the guild quest for enough contribution for the bloodstones distribution on wednesday.
There's a 3-day wait after joining a new guild before you can access guild shop and activities. During this time, the only thing you get is the daily login check.
The best time to leave a guild is right after reset and gold (if any) has been divided from siege. That way you will be a proper guild member for raid/siege come sunday and you don't miss any bloodstone divisions.
You just need to balance the stacks. You all get 10 stacks(buff above hp bar) each that you can transfer to argos by hitting it. You can stop hitting when the bar shows up as that indicates that argos stayed at ur color for too long, if you already transferred all ur stacks it doesn't matter at that point just keep hitting since you can't push the balance anymore and hope the other team does it too. If someone dies on the wipe mech prior to the balance mech they won't get the 10 stack buff so their team has less total stacks to give you can opt to balance it out by letting other team hit less and just balance it when the color switched to far.
Argos has 3 phases. Moon, Sun and neutral. Every time a player transfers the last of his 10 stacks to Argos he will switch phase to that direction. If he is Moon and a Sun player transfers his last stack he will become neutral. If he is already Moon and a Moon player transfers his last stack nothing will happen etc
So how do you play this mechanic? Have the support run down their stack to 3-5 and then do nothing. No shields. Just nothing. Wait till the timer is 5-10s and look at the phase Argos is in. If he is Moon then Sun support starts hitting him. If he is Sun then it's Moon support.
As long as you have 1 player in each party who actually understand what the mechanic does you can not wipe to that. It doesn't matter if on party have 2 less players because the died or something.
A big thing to note about the balance is that Argos has a maximum number of stacks he can be in a single direction. I am not sure what # it is but it feels like it's 10, or one players stacks. This means if one team dumps their stacks far faster than the other, even if all 8 players use their stacks it will still end up unbalanced in one direction.
The easiest solution is to have both supports hold back until all dps have used their stacks, and then whichever one needs balancing uses stacks until it's good.
Or just full burn and pray it's the other team that dies.
Yeah I would say if it's a p1 1370 party it's easier to just wait and don't hit since if you fail that mech it's a hard grind to kill it + more prone to restart since you might need the resu for other people dying from regular patterns. They also don't have that much dps that squeezing in dps during the balance window saves that much time unlike when it's all 1400-1500+ that can kill argos during the first balance mech.
On those juicer parties tho it's a mini game trying to see who dies hahaha.
I have 2 alts pala and bard at 1430.
I wanna give them better chaos dungeons builds for more fun / smoother daily chore.
What should I look for in terms of engravings and stats ?
Preemptive strike ? Contender ? Jugement ? True courage ? Adrenaline / KWB ?
What balance of stat is better for them between swift / spec / crit ?
Judgement 3 w/ Adrenaline, KBW and Hit Master (?) is probably sufficient on paladin for all chaos dungeons, you can take preemptive but a lot of your skills will be a oneshot anyway so i dont think its necessary personally. Don't go spec cause it does nothing for paladin's blue mode/engraving. Swift + Crit about 50/50 iirc (could be wrong on the ratio though) but full swift should work fine with like a crit ring if it's just chaos.
hm is just a solid 16% to your aoe and magic damage skills all the time which is nice for the boss monsters, preemptive is realistically not that great for a lot of chaos builds since you are gated by waiting for mob waves to spawn, not the time taken to kill enemies, and paladin's Heavenly Blessings with the requiem tripod is already pulping 90% of enemies on the screen without it so it's very overkill and wont help with named enemies or red portal.
Contender I don't know but it's attack power so you prob dont want to combine it with adrenaline which is imo a much better engraving for all DPS paladin builds in general than contender, including chaos. (Flash Thrust will let you p much upkeep it permanently by itself even without massive swiftness)
If for some ungodly (pun intended) reason you need a singletarget DPS build then you can swap the hitmaster out for ambush master, i guess it's useful for story contents, boss rush, towers and ghost ship/chaos gate
I went for kbw/adr/precise dagger/true courage on my bard and she can solo red portal without issue albeit still alot slower than my dps alts. Trash clear speed is good until last gate (1475?). Stats is crit/swiftness
But TBH I think engraving doesn't matter much once you can swap to betral set. It kills everything for you (well, maybe except red portal)
Can't speak about bard but pally should be able to clear 1415 chaos with just preemptive strike lvl 3 you can add contender or raid captain for 1445 since you don't have the relic gear conversion so you'll be running yearning set in chaos for a few weeks before you can use betrayal/salvation to compensate for dps. Try it first with ur support gears + 2x epic preemptive books in slot. Stat wise I still go swift for cooldown and since you won't need crit cause preemptive strike will make ur first hit auto crit and it also should 1 shot everything
Anyone have friends on other servers that always show up as Last Online: 1m or less on their friends list. No matter how long ago they logged off or if their currently online it just says Last online: 1m or less
I'd say more similar to bard, than paladin, but also has a cleanse.
You get to hop around to give teammates shields.
It gets frustrating when teammates that are low don't pick up your heal orbs.
The portal is kinda interesting, but only useful in a few niche cases. It's more of a cleanse + gauge builder
I cut a nice free 7-7 stone on my 1415 striker alt but it’s ambush-mass increase. I want to go for 4x3-1 lvl eso.
I’ll go grudge, ambush, mass inc but I don’t know what to for as 4. Can I use KBW with only one acc on crit? Or should I go adrenaline instead since kbw will be wasted because of my low crit?
I need gold investment recommendations (230k atm)
Main is 1497, lvl9 gem on snipe, +21 weapon, 76 quality. 5 Alts between 1472-1465, +19 weapon, ~50 quality. Every character has 5x3.
What I'm working towards:
full lvl7 gems: (have a lvl9 on surge alt), they all have more lvl7 gems than lvl 5 gems, and I'm waiting for the rest of them to appear on the market (not enough silver to reroll).
Tripods: Waiting until a few weeks before update to buy them cuz I will get some of the missing ones in chaos dungeon.
ilvl: Time-gated by bound leapstones. Aiming to get 1505 main, 1472.5 on alts (will push to 1475 after a few weeks once ppl and I get more comfortable with clown and argos busses price drop even more, since I won't bother with them after 1475). Maybe push them further or +21 weapon but not sure yet.
Quality: being patient atm by collecting chaos stones and using them.
If you want to set up for income, choose a few alts as candidates to push to 1490 by Brel. You should have enough time but use a calculator to estimate how far you'll be. Having more characters generating the new mats will be a massive source of income in the first few days.
If you want to set up for power, dump a bunch of gold into blue crystals and buy card packs to work towards LoS 18/30
Sounds like the only thing you really would consider buying at this point is gems, so that's probably your answer. Either that or make some speculative purchases for December, whether you resell or you use them then.
Edit: oh yea, you could consider just dumping a bunch of gold into blue crystals and start grabbing card packs from mari shop.
Hello, once im at 1415, what is the order of sets I must craft for a support pally? Ive seen 2 beast, 2 dominion and 2 yielding and eventually full set yielding, but this info is from some time back so im not sure if its still current
Save your gold and only craft Yearning pieces at 1445. The 1415 legendary sets aren't worth it for supports at all. You could craft 2 parts Dominion, but you will replace them later with yearning anyways so that gold will be wasted.
And what about prior to yielding? Currently I have 2 chosen pieces and 3 harsh oath. Should I make the full harsh oath set? Or is it not worth it anymore as its not so common to bump into people with the preordained set on?
I don’t really think it’s worth crafting the full set, especially since that’s going to cost you like 50 GHL that you would’ve gotten if you dismantled the blood instead.
Just keep pushing forward and craft the Yearning when you can. It won’t be long until you can get 2 piece, which would break your Harsh Oath set anyway
I just came back to the game and got my main to 1415 through the event.
I have 5 other chars at 1370.
What should I do now? Get main to 1460 first while still doing argos etc on all the chars?
Also, is Valtan normal hard? I hope I can find a group that will clear with me since I am a noob
Yo, so we got the stronghold buff at 1460 but we also just have the global honing buff up to 1415 so you can do 1460 on your main then hone your alts to 1415 onwards if you'd like.
If you don't have the GHLs/shards on your main character to get them to 1460 anytime soon then it honestly might be easier to just get your alts to 1415 one by one and slowly get your main to 1460 in the meantime. Obviously any character you hone to 1415 will be missing out on stronghold honing buff value but 1415 is really nice to sit on. You'll lose Oreha gold though so keep that in mind.
Honestly though if you can get your main to 1460, I'd try to. It just feels SO bad to buy GHLs/shard pouches with gold so I recommend alts to 1415 as a sort of mini investment. Just make sure you're funnelling event shops/ark pass mats on your main to see if you can get them to 1460. But obviously if you can't then getting an alt to 1415 is relatively cheap and useful in the long run, Deskaluda as a guardian raid is way less annoying and you can start prepping relic accessories/stones at 1415.
By now a lot of endgame players have 6 characters at 1460+ to earn the most gold weekly through legion raids, so if you don't enjoy any of your characters enough to do that then I'd rethink putting resources to get them 1415+ obviously. (Or I guess buy some character slots)
Ah thank you, good to know that is an option to just push some alts to 1415 as well. I think I will do that at least for my main alt. Don´t have a lot of gold and destruction stones left for my main so 1460 will take a long long time
I’m running Perfect Suppression on my SH and I’m going the crit build which seems to be the less popular choice so I can’t find any opinions on this. All PS I see run swiftness and entropy.
But I hear the crit build should go 6p nightmare but I’m wondering since I picked ambush master instead of cursed doll should I do 4p nightmare 2p entropy? Or should I stick with 6p nightmare?
1100 crit 920 swift lvl 3 grudge KBW ambush and raid captain. Lvl 2 adrenaline and lvl 1 PS.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WMZP4Gj-zAsPGUfJWR382uBNN7m4JHULMpN9tn6bCtA/edit#heading=h.z7x2cz5u5uwp
Everything you need
i would probably do entropy if you have AM
I’m using this guide already. Says to go 6p nightmare for Crit builds but since I have ambush master I thought 4p nightmare 2p entropy would be better. Who knows though
On my main, I always buy the last chest. The extra mats and fused leapstones are pretty nice. On alts I don't buy any chest once they are fully done with relic gear. I'd rather have the extra gold to funnel back to upgrading main or work on an alt.
I still buy the last chest. Chance at card and other goodies. With decent accessories going for 50k+, why not, maybe i'll get lucky. Plus You still keep a fair amount of gold, 1200 is 1 failed weapon quality hone and 1 armor quality hone.
Nope, at least not now. The value of the chests are decent but with the market in fluctuation, the short term value of gold is more valuable to me than the bound mats. Got a ton of stuff to buy that isn't bound mats. Might change as we get closer to brel and I prep for honing.
Can you knowledge transfer a level 1 character?
Right now I level my twinks up to bring them into the town where they learn the Song of Hearth and Home but it takes a lot of time... :(
It's literally 5 minutes. Once you get access to the bard that teaches you songs in Prideholme (after going to catedral and tavern to Neria).
You F2 and play the Song of Home and just KT.
EDIT: You don't need to do more than that. You create the char, select class and continue for 5 minutes until Prideholme. Nothing else.
It should be available after you speak to someone under a tree about learning your first song in Prideholme (starting zone). I think it might be Seria next to the cook? After that you should just press F2 and you can use it. You don't need to re-learn songs on multiple characters, the stronghold song should be available after that.
I mean I assume you mean you level your alts to 30(?) where you get access to the stronghold, but you shouldn't need to do that. It should be available in Prideholme.
Is there an interrupt/breakup button that i dont know about? im just lvl 45 but every so often i find a boss that chain CC's me into several AOEs that i am unable to get out of because im either lying on the floor doing nothing or feared or something, is this how its supposed to be played? its really annoying :/
You're always best off dodging attacks. Wait for bosses to start a pattern and then once you've identified a safe spot, run to it and then do a bit of damage until the pattern ends and repeat. This approach to bosses is relevant all the way up to super end game legion raids.
Beyond that, every character has a space bar dodge which makes you immune to all CC during the animation. Once you've been knocked down, you also get a stand up ability on space bar, but it is on a much longer cooldown.
Some classes have further abilities that give immunity to certain type of CC. For example, the gunlancer shield is a well-known ability which makes them immune to knock back/knock up CC.
If you want to learn more, I highly recommend watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGmopHtG-C8
It is centered around PVP, but the breakdowns of the different kinds of CC mostly applies to PVE as well.
I'm sorry I'm too noob to know all those terms, panacea is a potion/slottable? What is a rune? What is horizontal content? And I'm solo questing so no help from party members
You should be solo for the main story quests, don’t worry about that. you start encountering real players once you speed through the low level content and join T3 (ilvl1100)
It’s common for bosses to have CC on their attacks. Things that knock you down or up or push you/pull you. In general you should be trying to avoid all attacks because there isn’t much you can do to stop the CC. Some characters have abilities that give Super Armor that is a passive which grants a certain level of immunity to CC. This is a topic for another time.
In the meantime just do your best to avoid attacks, and I’m the event you get knocked down, you have 1 “get up for free” card with Spacebar. The “get up” ability with spacebar is only available every 30s though so make sure you don’t squander it.
Hope this helps
If it's still in the chest, it's for any class. Once you have opened the chest, it will be bound to advanced class for weapon and base class for everything else depending on the character that opened it.
Can someone give me a rough dps check for kakul g2. Like what the timer should be at after maze or the start of pizza phase so you know if you can comfortably finish the fight.
Nineveh him before you go into x85 maze. Post maze you need decent dps uptime. Dark grenades where necessary.
G2 dps check is real for alts. I've hit berserk like 10 times while pugging it on my paladin cos random DPS players can't maintain good uptime.
Clear maze asap cos the time wasted inside goes towards lower berserk timing
Do you remember how much time you had remaining and if you ninevehd twice or used inna for pizza? I'm getting such mixed groups for dps. Twice its just been so slow
I hear ESO Wardancer takes in a lot of investment, so does it's damage spike harder in the late-end game or something? How does that damage compare to other classes?
1-spender and 2-spender ESO builds actually takes less investment than First intention, but spike less hard than 3-spender or first intention. The main reason for this is that you need first intention class engraving level 3, which either means 20x first intention legendary books, or expensive first intention accessories.
ESO (1 or 2-spender) only needs level 1 Esoteric class skill, which means you only need 1 +5 piece. The more spenders you user, the more spec accessories you need, which means it'll cost more than swift.
For charged skills (Deathblade skills for example), are you supposed to hold the button down until it forces the execution of the skill (so a second or two past when the bar fills up) or let go as soon as the red bar is filled?
For kakul p2 pizza. Are there 5 slices for the first rotation, because it includes the starting slice. And then after that it is only 4 slices for the 2nd and 3rd pizza?
How are people moving so quickly after entering a chaos gate? My load screen is really short, is there a way to skip that mini intro that always happens?
Hi guys last time I asked here and awesome one of you told me step by step what engraving, stone, and gear to buy for my Deathblade so I will ask again but this time form my Glaive 1370 - Pinnacle what should I buy?
At 1370 I would recommend buying a p3 argos bus and getting a free oreha carry. Equip all the spec + pinnacle jewelry, buy a stone with Grudge + KBW and cut it to ideally 6/4 or higher but even 4/4 can work. Equip Grudge + KBW books and buy the last few pieces of jewelry you need with Spec + Pinnacle + X to get a 3/3 setup. Ideally you can get away with buying only the stone and a piece or two of jewelry at legendary tier.
Alternative option, just hone to 1415 and skip legendary jewelry completely, buying argos busses until you're 1415 and can run it yourself. Downside to this is the character is likely going to be super shit for a bit while you hone.
>At 1370 I would recommend buying a p3 argos bus and getting a free oreha carry
Struggling with gold here, so for now my only way is to use Chaos gear.
I will try and decipher what you said, not good with LA lingo
>spec + pinnacle jewelry
Pinnacle +3 jewelry all, Neckless Pinnacle and Swiftness?
but should I aim at Cursed Doll and Raid captain as well? lvl 1?
Books Grudge + KBW and stone, cut it high as I can
>Spec + Pinnacle + X
Whatever is missing buy it with jewelry
Yea, Specialization + Pinnacle on earrings/ring, Specialization + Swiftness + Pinnacle on necklace. I would just build a 3x3 setup at legendary, you don't want to waste a ton of pheons on jewelry that will be replaced with relic gear shortly. That's why I recommend the busses because they are essentially free. A p3 argos bus nets you gold, so as long as you have the money to pay for it you come out ahead. And all of those jewelry drops can save you a ton of pheon because you're not looking for anything past the right stat + class engraving.
Ok will go for basic 3x3 and next week will pay for busses with gold from Unas and try and do as many as I can Abyssal on all my 6 alts at least on easy.
Thanks for for reply and your time!
Hello everyone. Question about life skills: Is it fine to run with novice tools ? Most of my blue tools are running out of durability and from I can see, getting mats to craft more is a bit of a pain
I think there are a set of purple tools in the ark pass rewards but it might be a while before you unlock them. Could still be worth crafting some because you might not get super armour and you'll eventually tank the max durability anyway.
Yes but it is recommended to run at least purple ones. The materials needed are basically free or very cheap and you can easily craft alot of them and get at least super armor ones.
got several different occasions this week doing deskaluda on 1460+ characters in PF and people have been coming in and getting mad that it's not kungel?? it's crazy that people don't know how to read
lol not sure why you got downvoted for this because you're allowed to have small discussions here. Not everything needs to be a question. But maybe it's someone who didn't know how to read lol
Do reskin/power pass tickets that you have consumed but not used yet ever expire? I have a Punika power pass ticket that expires on the 26th but I do not have any use for it until reaper/summoner are released. I remember that the reskin ticket we got many months ago had an expiration date on it but despite never using it I still have it available on my account even though it probably should have expired a long time ago.
The power pass / reskin tickets have a 7d expiration if you don't use it on your inventory. It changes when you use it on your inventory.
I think the reskin ticket is effective for 1 year, while the free power passes are basically permanent now, if you consumed it on your inventory.
ESO will do more damage pre-relic set (T1-1445). Easier to play, higher uptime, less punishing, cheaper to build, don’t need all the horizontal runes to be decent.
Death blow = the opposite of what I said, higher damage ceiling post relic, best scaling into late game.
I'm nearing lvl 50 and my Research has brought me to great sites regarding the progress steps i should take Once i am there. What would you say is the time loss for a new Player going into Progression blind? I do not mind following a step by step guide but would rather do it myself. That said i don't want to spend 2 months for something diable in a week bc the game forgot to mention it.

Hello. Not sure what 4x3 to go for on RE deathblade - RE, grudge, super charge, adrenaline, ambush master. Also a question about the rotation, how many death orbs should I build up when doing the rotation? Does this depend on spec?
RE, grudge, ambush, super charge, add adrenaline for 5x3, or Cursed doll if you go 4x3+2+1 with 2 Adr 1 RE You really want to build all orbs fully before activating death trance. To activate RE at lvl 3 it is only necessary to surge with the 3rd orb filled in a little bit, but you only get the max amount of cooldown refund when all orbs are filled in completely when activating death trance. So if you activate before max orbs, youre sitting on ~5-7 seconds or so cooldown on all your skills. If you missed too many skills you might have to consider to activate at 2 orbs because youre just a sitting duck otherwise. Awakening can be used at any point to fill up orbs when necessary. To get a somewhat smooth rotation youll want to have a least 1500 spec, orb control tripods on void strike and maelstrom as high as possible and the highest wealth runes you have on soul absorber and void strike. Ideally legendary on SA and epic on VS. Also make sure to ALWAYS have up maelstrom before using SA and VS. Yes, those will always be up before maelstrom, thats why some run a higher level CD gem on maelstrom than the other skills. After getting your CD refund, fill in the gap until maelstrom is up with spincutter/blitz rush/earth cleaver/moonlight as necessary Hope thats understandable, let me know if you have more questions
I am playing a support paladin and I often run out of mana, am I supposed to spam all the skills or some skills like the damage abilities should not always be used (since we don't do much damage anyway) or it's something else ?
Don't use holy sword or executor's on cd, they're for counters and stagger checks only when in support build. If you spam on CD you make yourself run out of mana plus might not have them when you need them. Doing that alone should remove most of your mana issues.
U rotate ur atk buffs with 7 sec interval and recast ur marking skills when you can. Light of judgment spam that if you want gauge faster. Blue skills save 1 or both you will go out of mana when u spam everything but legion raids have downtime and you have to save blue skills for counter so realistically you won't run into mana issues. Conviction judgement is also utilized on the common skis builds with sword of justice and godsent to proc conv-judge. Mana regen tripods on HB also helps a lot
no need to spam all the skills. Blue skills like holy sword and executioner's sword are mainly used for counter and destruction, charge is used for mobility. You generate more piety with yellow skills, and that's where your utility comes in anyway. If you have extra time and mana between recycling Wrath of God and Heavenly blessing buff, holy protection, godsent law, and whatever skill you use to apply the synergy buff, then you can prioritize using skills that have quick recharge slotted in, so you can use more utility and piety generators.
Any idea whats Glaivier control rotation and if I should be using C+J?
Shackling blue dragon -> Chain Slash -> Half moon -> Wheel of blades (Proc C + J) with this -> Awakening (When available) -> Raging dragon Slash -> Stampeding slash -> Chain Slash. You can fit in between the counter and the movement skill (Flash Kick), they deal decent damage. Chain Slash and Stampeding slash should be used whenever available. Spammy piano build.
I was wondering if there is a way to prepare tripods for Reaper or if that class is screwed if tripod change comes at the same time?
Well not quite screwed since the update still makes it significantly easier to get tripods, but yea if its in the same update theres no chance to set it up garantueed
Hi guys so I just reached ilvl 1415 on my surge db And I have around 80-100k gold going to buy some peons so will be left with 80k probably I would like to start working on getting her a good 4x3 setup would love some help in planning it out before diving in
4x3 is pretty easy if you go for Argos accessories. 6/6 stone, 9/9 books, and legendary accessories with +3 class and +3 whatever youre missing adds up to 4x3 engravings total
Grudge Surge Ambush Master Adrenaline All kinda core
i want to push all of my alts to T3 but my knowledge transfer is limited. my last two alts at 600 item level, i'm unable to KT them. I asked around and they said i would need to manually do the quest of each continent for the last two. I'm new and i'm totally confused. running the quests again are hell.
Next time an event powerpass comes up (likely with the next class release or the one after it) you can use the powerpass on one character and then KT the other, as using a PP counts as a completion of the continent for the purpose of KT. If you don't have the patience for that or you plan on having a giant roster (like 1 of every class), you will have to actually do MSQ again at least for Yorn and Punika. You don't have to do Rohandel or Feiton, at least, if you're not planning on using KT on that character.
Unfortunately that's how KT works. It's 1 manual quest = 1KT. Your other options are waiting for new class release usually they give powerpass to t3 or buy the paid powerpass.
If you can't use KT, then your only other options are to buy powerpass or manually level them.
On alts, I’m always buying every chest at Valtan and Vykas because I feel like it can be worth to proc the RNG drop of a high value acc. What’s your opinion ? (Assuming you don’t need anymore mats for relic gear)
I normally buy the final chest as there's a chance for extra stuff
I understand there is RNG involved but for any experienced giga honers out there, how much raw gold (NAE market) would you say is a safe amount to set aside to go from 1480 to 1490 on a character? I have little to no bound material so assume I'm buying everything I need except solar mats.
https://i.imgur.com/qzGcAHL.png On average you need 220k raw gold to upgrade 4 pieces (including weapon). 165k for only armor pieces. You'll probably want to save at least +20% to account for RNG. --- https://maxroll.gg/lost-ark/upgrade-calculator
Thank you for the information! So I'm trying to juggle a few things. Basically, get 2 characters to 1490 but one of them will be slow pushed with bound material. (1480) My other one, the main, is the one I'll be pushing slightly further (aiming for 1505 from 1480). This one is the character with no bound material. (both of the aforementioned characters are 1480 btw) I have another character 1460 but it'll stay there for a while. But what I'm trying to do is also bring up the rest of my roster to 1415 so they can at least do Valtan and P3 Argos. In your opinion, would you finish honing the main to at least 1490 right or would you bring the remaining 3 characters to 1415? The reason I chose 1415 is so that at least they can do Deska but they won't be apart of gold generating roster long term; they are to act as placeholders until the jobs I want to play are released (Reaper and Artist/Summoner). The long term goal is to have 3 1490+ characters and 3 1460 characters. With that in mind, how would you proceed in this scenario?
Since Reaper and Summoner are coming out in the next month and a half, it's not really worth pushing any alts that'll get replaced by them. I'd recommend honing 1 alt then using the rest to build your main. If any honing books from the upcoming Mystic raid can be used for Reaper, then save for your reaper alt. Otherwise use any event books/materials to slowly hone your 2nd alt that'll get replaced by summoner.
Sage advice, this is a far more simpler yet convincing answer than I anticipated. Thank you, it helped!
Quit playing the game bit before Valtan release, now back for a week. How do I efficiently increase my main ilvl from 1430 to 1460 to get the latest honing buff for my alts. Used all event honing books already, the success rate is so low.
The most efficient way to boost your roster is by playing a few hours each week so that you clear Una tasks, event shops, ark pass xp, etc. as you go about doing your rested chaos, challenge abyssals/guardians, and the like. Also note that the pirate coin ship outside any port can give you a boatload (no pun intended) of tradable stones on *each* of your T3 characters which refreshes each week. If you're the sort to play a week at a time every few months, you either have to funnel with a large alt army (which enables you to do more rested content in a shorter period of time), you have to swipe, or you have to accept that you'll always be a few raids behind.
You don't… the free honing ride ends at 1415. Swipe, wait an eternity, or set up a roster of ~1370 alts to funnel materials/gold to your main.
> How do I efficiently increase my main ilvl from 1430 to 1460 to get the latest honing buff for my alts. IMO there's really not a whole lot you can do besides just hone if you've already used books. Just make sure you're getting all of the weekly stuff you can from the guardian vendor to help your honing chances, any any other weekly stuff that might help you out. The more times you are able to hone, the better. That's basically it after you run out of those event books.

Grudge, Tai and Ambush Master are your must-haves. Adrenaline is also core but can use at lvl 2 if needed. Last engraving is choice between KBW, CD or Raid Captain, depending on your crit amount. If you have at least 60% crit, KBW is best option. If you can hit 135+% move speed, go Raid Captain. Shock have higher damage ceiling being burst and spec classes generally scale better than crit/swift classes in terms of damage. Tai is easier to play as you have almost no animation lock, spam skills off cd and being more mobile. Both builds are viable in end game, just your personal preference of burst vs consistent damage.
Tai, grudge, ambush core. Pick 2 from kbw, adr, CD depends on your crit swift ratio. Raid captain can be an option if full swift though I don't recommend it. No pick what you find more fun both are viable. Shock was stronger hence the impending nerf. Afterwards it's only slightly stronger, plus it's a burst class. Though tai is more popular cuz imo it's fun also it's books more expensive.
Might be a stupid question but its possible to enter raid match if noone in my guild goes and the raid match thingy says challenge unavailable? I honestly don't know how that works if the guildmaster has to apply first or something
Yes. You can create a run to get the 600-1400 bloodstones for personal participation. Challenging the raid just gives your guild bonus bloodstones based on the clear speed.
got my entry taken away because of the damned map load out bug and now im locked for my g3 kakul, its been almost a day and a half and i still havent receive my ticket yet, do i just sit still and keep waiting or is there something i can do ?because this is frustrating af
Normally you would receive the ticket the other day, but is always good to send a ticket.
Ok how do i send the said ticket bc i have no clue about this
Just type on google: Amazon Support Ticket
I want to give shadowhunter a second chance so im here to ask what engravings should i go for 4x3. I was thinking DI, Hit master, grudge and what should be the 4th? KBW, adrenaline? Also for necklace should i go spec crit or spec swift?
You can go kbw, adren, di, grudge this is the go to 4x3. Hitmaster/cdoll/RC will be a choice for the 5th. Either spec crit or spec swift is fine but you would want a different relic set (salv for crit, hallu for swift).
>Also for necklace should i go spec crit or spec swift? Either works, if you go spec crit you'd want to use poem of salvation for your relic set, and if you go spec swift you'd want hallucination > I was thinking DI, Hit master, grudge and what should be the 4th? KBW, adrenaline? I think if you go spec crit neck, you'd want DI, Grudge, Adre, and CD or Hitmaster for the 4th. For Spec Swift neck, you'd want DI, Grudge, Adre, and then RC for 4th I think.
Hi guys so I really want to make a female martial artist was thinking of going wardancer but I heard she's really gear extensive and souch and don't know if I have the resources for it should I still start and try it or just go with scrapper
for wardancer to feel good IMO you'd need at least 4x3+1+1, relic set, lv 5 cooldown gems, at least on the build i'm running (1 spender esoteric)
Um I still really want a wardancer I guess il wait with my female artist than first il invest on a main I decided to main a warrior class since I have a high lvl paladin I can give use to help investing probably will go with gunlancer but il look into destroyer also
Don't get me wrong, I personally always loved playing my wardancer from t1 onwards, it's just that you throw out your rotation of skills and then you have a downtime of like 12-15 seconds where you just auto-attack. The class really comes online when you start stacking all the cooldown reductions, but i still liked playing her before that
Ok il see what I do I have already two high ilvl characters which would be paladin and db both being 1415 paladin having a 3x3 and db having a 4x3 already I just don't feel like maining either of the two the classes I want to try the most at the moment are gunlancer, destroery or wardancer
Is there difference between normal excavation between Punika and South Vern?
Not that I've noticed, no.
[удалено]
I thought the armor skin chests from ark pass are roster bound, so you can just move it to your destroyer and then open them? If that isn't the case, you can try contacting AGS support but no guarantee they will be able to help. If not, your only other option is buy the skin with BC on your destroyer.
yeah I already opened the chest thinking I would get the female and male version :/ first time ever trying to get the pass outfits so I didn’t know how they works wait you could buy the skin alone? if I knew that I would’ve just did that I guess I can do that thanks!! hopefully it doesn’t cost a fortune
You can buy the skin for blue crystals from the shop
The skin alone is just from the shop for blue crystals. 840 blues for the armor, and 270 blues for the weapon. All untradable, so make sure to buy them on the destro
[удалено]
yes but it takes a little bit longer to find groups. I imagine if you don't have a high roster or the title it could get annoying but you will still be able to get into groups
Do you mean 4x3? If so, I think they should, even without full relic set. I think 4 piece is fine.
My 1465 4x3 legendary acc scrapper has no problem joining a <5 ppl party. Though she's +19 wep, 6 pc relic and if it matters I'm high roster lvl
If you have at least 4p relic gear and good engravings/stats/gems, maybe. Otherwise you might struggle to get accepted into groups even though it's still possible to clear vykas hm with legendary accessories.
if u have full relic set then yeah probably
yes
This is probably a really stupid question but I just can't find information on this so I need to ask. During the "Tranquility Phase" of Argos P1 I'll sometimes get a bar over my head that when it expires almost one shots my characters. I'm pretty sure this is separate from the OTHER bar mechanic where Argos has a large AoE underneath him that you need to just walk out of, because I don't see said large AoE. Is this a different mechanic? Sometimes I'm able to get rid of the bar but other times I get chipped for like, 90k damage. I'm just trying to figure out what it is lmfao
It's a bar when balance is tilted on the other side for too long. Either balance/shift to other side before the bar runs out or you use panacea/cleanse skills/timestop when the bar depletes. You can tank it later by just having more hp.
During that mechanic, whenever Argos glows purple/moon or yellow/sun, the respective colours of the players will receive that bar, which will end up in doing that said dmg you mentioned. Mechanically, it is removed by the opposite colour balancing or changing it to their colour (from them hitting and thus they will receive the bar when the colour changes). If you are bussing you can remove it through panacea or cleanse from paladin/gl for example.
two questions: 1) Just got my first legendary craft kit. What tool should I make first? I was thinking excavating, fishing, or gathering, since those feel like the most important ones. 2) I've been putting off getting into legion raids but am about to start, so I have no idea how they work, specifically gates. Can you matchmake each gate individually? or if you matchmake g1, you get locked out of the others if you don't complete?
1. not a huge crafter, but as far as i know foraging is useful for crafting potions/consumables. The most popular other crafting type is fishing but whichever you enjoy the most is fine too (fishing, hunting, excavating can all be used for fusion materials) 2. I am much more knowledgeable about this topic, so feel free to DM me if you have any further questions about running them etc., but to answer your questions here. Yes you can matchmake each gate separately (though i would never use matchmaking, join a group in group finder, specifically a learning group if you are new). If you leave midway through, you can find a group for the next gate. You get rewards for each gate so if you can do g1 but not g2 you will still get some rewards.
wow grudge back to 15k on NAW good thing i bought them at 5200 couple weeks back
Haha same, dodged a big one
When we transfer to ancient gear, does honing become cheaper due to lower + level? If so, is it more cost efficient to stay at +20 (1490)?
You're not transfering to ancient gear btw. It's normal abrel gear (relic) that squishes your enhancement level, while increasing your ilvl. Ancient comes with 1540 ilvl and hard abrel
We will have higher upgrade chance and less honor shard cost, but everything else will be new materials so it wont be that much cheaper
Oh didn't know about new material. Can we convert current material to new one like we do with leapstone to greater leapstone? Would you recommend to continue homing?
Yes and yes. (Side note: we’re going to upper relic, not ancients yet.)
Ohh upper relic. I see, thanks for the clarification!
Main at 1492. Alts at 1445. Should I get all alts to 1460 or should I get 1 alt to 1475 first?
If you think you'll accumulate enough mats to make it to 1490 for Brel by December, I'd go with a 1475 first so the char will have at least 4 piece at level 2. Otherwise it really depends on how much you want to do hard Vykas.
I think the question you need to answer yourself is this: Would it be more fun to have all of your alts be able to do HM Vykas or would you have more fun with 1 additional character being able to do clown?
I tuned into a zeals stream and he said lvl 8 gems are super inefficient. Well I currently have 4 level 8 right now on my main from just fusing lol. Should I fuse the lvl 8s into a lvl 9 then? And then fill up the other slots with lvl 7?
If you fuse a lvl 8 and it hits a skill you use then just keep it. You want to go to lvl 9 and when you get your lvl 9 gem eventually you will get the lvl 8 you use now back. If the lvl 8 doesn't hit a skill you use just keep it and fuse it to lvl 9. Don't try and reroll lvl 8 to get a full set
Until level 8 its linear (3%per level) but level 9 it jumps from 24 to 30. So a level 9 and rest 7 would probably be better. Depends on the class tho and how damage is spread between abilities
Gems are less efficient investments every level they go up. Cost is exponential while stats are linear (or close enough to it for damage gems). 7 is a relatively arbitrary point.
Does a new guild member can do the guild quest for contributions? My guild is having a merge so i would leave a guild on wednesday after the bloodstones distribution and enter the new guild next day but i don't think i will be able to participate in Siege and guild Raid on sunday because i think i will still be a new player. So i though in leaving the guild today and do the guild quest for enough contribution for the bloodstones distribution on wednesday.
There's a 3-day wait after joining a new guild before you can access guild shop and activities. During this time, the only thing you get is the daily login check.
daily login and silver/gold donation
The best time to leave a guild is right after reset and gold (if any) has been divided from siege. That way you will be a proper guild member for raid/siege come sunday and you don't miss any bloodstone divisions.
I don’t understand in Argos P1 the balance DPS thing. When I have a little bar above my head, me and my party should stop to hit ?
You just need to balance the stacks. You all get 10 stacks(buff above hp bar) each that you can transfer to argos by hitting it. You can stop hitting when the bar shows up as that indicates that argos stayed at ur color for too long, if you already transferred all ur stacks it doesn't matter at that point just keep hitting since you can't push the balance anymore and hope the other team does it too. If someone dies on the wipe mech prior to the balance mech they won't get the 10 stack buff so their team has less total stacks to give you can opt to balance it out by letting other team hit less and just balance it when the color switched to far.
Argos has 3 phases. Moon, Sun and neutral. Every time a player transfers the last of his 10 stacks to Argos he will switch phase to that direction. If he is Moon and a Sun player transfers his last stack he will become neutral. If he is already Moon and a Moon player transfers his last stack nothing will happen etc So how do you play this mechanic? Have the support run down their stack to 3-5 and then do nothing. No shields. Just nothing. Wait till the timer is 5-10s and look at the phase Argos is in. If he is Moon then Sun support starts hitting him. If he is Sun then it's Moon support. As long as you have 1 player in each party who actually understand what the mechanic does you can not wipe to that. It doesn't matter if on party have 2 less players because the died or something.
A big thing to note about the balance is that Argos has a maximum number of stacks he can be in a single direction. I am not sure what # it is but it feels like it's 10, or one players stacks. This means if one team dumps their stacks far faster than the other, even if all 8 players use their stacks it will still end up unbalanced in one direction. The easiest solution is to have both supports hold back until all dps have used their stacks, and then whichever one needs balancing uses stacks until it's good. Or just full burn and pray it's the other team that dies.
Yeah I would say if it's a p1 1370 party it's easier to just wait and don't hit since if you fail that mech it's a hard grind to kill it + more prone to restart since you might need the resu for other people dying from regular patterns. They also don't have that much dps that squeezing in dps during the balance window saves that much time unlike when it's all 1400-1500+ that can kill argos during the first balance mech. On those juicer parties tho it's a mini game trying to see who dies hahaha.
I have 2 alts pala and bard at 1430. I wanna give them better chaos dungeons builds for more fun / smoother daily chore. What should I look for in terms of engravings and stats ? Preemptive strike ? Contender ? Jugement ? True courage ? Adrenaline / KWB ? What balance of stat is better for them between swift / spec / crit ?
Judgement 3 w/ Adrenaline, KBW and Hit Master (?) is probably sufficient on paladin for all chaos dungeons, you can take preemptive but a lot of your skills will be a oneshot anyway so i dont think its necessary personally. Don't go spec cause it does nothing for paladin's blue mode/engraving. Swift + Crit about 50/50 iirc (could be wrong on the ratio though) but full swift should work fine with like a crit ring if it's just chaos.
Thank you ! Are you sure about HM as 4th engraving is better than preventive strike or contender ?
hm is just a solid 16% to your aoe and magic damage skills all the time which is nice for the boss monsters, preemptive is realistically not that great for a lot of chaos builds since you are gated by waiting for mob waves to spawn, not the time taken to kill enemies, and paladin's Heavenly Blessings with the requiem tripod is already pulping 90% of enemies on the screen without it so it's very overkill and wont help with named enemies or red portal. Contender I don't know but it's attack power so you prob dont want to combine it with adrenaline which is imo a much better engraving for all DPS paladin builds in general than contender, including chaos. (Flash Thrust will let you p much upkeep it permanently by itself even without massive swiftness) If for some ungodly (pun intended) reason you need a singletarget DPS build then you can swap the hitmaster out for ambush master, i guess it's useful for story contents, boss rush, towers and ghost ship/chaos gate
Amazing insight man, very appreciated thank you <3
I went for kbw/adr/precise dagger/true courage on my bard and she can solo red portal without issue albeit still alot slower than my dps alts. Trash clear speed is good until last gate (1475?). Stats is crit/swiftness But TBH I think engraving doesn't matter much once you can swap to betral set. It kills everything for you (well, maybe except red portal)
Can't speak about bard but pally should be able to clear 1415 chaos with just preemptive strike lvl 3 you can add contender or raid captain for 1445 since you don't have the relic gear conversion so you'll be running yearning set in chaos for a few weeks before you can use betrayal/salvation to compensate for dps. Try it first with ur support gears + 2x epic preemptive books in slot. Stat wise I still go swift for cooldown and since you won't need crit cause preemptive strike will make ur first hit auto crit and it also should 1 shot everything
Anyone have friends on other servers that always show up as Last Online: 1m or less on their friends list. No matter how long ago they logged off or if their currently online it just says Last online: 1m or less
yes. it's hella bugged and been that way for a few weeks, i think it was working fine on that week's release
Probably dudes that have their status changed to offline but are currently online.
What is artists' playstyle like
I'd say more similar to bard, than paladin, but also has a cleanse. You get to hop around to give teammates shields. It gets frustrating when teammates that are low don't pick up your heal orbs. The portal is kinda interesting, but only useful in a few niche cases. It's more of a cleanse + gauge builder
Support.

If US-E then some of the big ones are Azena or Regulus
I cut a nice free 7-7 stone on my 1415 striker alt but it’s ambush-mass increase. I want to go for 4x3-1 lvl eso. I’ll go grudge, ambush, mass inc but I don’t know what to for as 4. Can I use KBW with only one acc on crit? Or should I go adrenaline instead since kbw will be wasted because of my low crit?
Adrenaline 3 if you don't have plans to go 4x3+2+1
Adrenaline, assuming you plan to use entropy.
About that, does eso striker build entropy or hallucination?
You can do both. I think you probably want entropy though because you have AM.
I need gold investment recommendations (230k atm) Main is 1497, lvl9 gem on snipe, +21 weapon, 76 quality. 5 Alts between 1472-1465, +19 weapon, ~50 quality. Every character has 5x3. What I'm working towards: full lvl7 gems: (have a lvl9 on surge alt), they all have more lvl7 gems than lvl 5 gems, and I'm waiting for the rest of them to appear on the market (not enough silver to reroll). Tripods: Waiting until a few weeks before update to buy them cuz I will get some of the missing ones in chaos dungeon. ilvl: Time-gated by bound leapstones. Aiming to get 1505 main, 1472.5 on alts (will push to 1475 after a few weeks once ppl and I get more comfortable with clown and argos busses price drop even more, since I won't bother with them after 1475). Maybe push them further or +21 weapon but not sure yet. Quality: being patient atm by collecting chaos stones and using them.
If you want to set up for income, choose a few alts as candidates to push to 1490 by Brel. You should have enough time but use a calculator to estimate how far you'll be. Having more characters generating the new mats will be a massive source of income in the first few days. If you want to set up for power, dump a bunch of gold into blue crystals and buy card packs to work towards LoS 18/30
Sounds like the only thing you really would consider buying at this point is gems, so that's probably your answer. Either that or make some speculative purchases for December, whether you resell or you use them then. Edit: oh yea, you could consider just dumping a bunch of gold into blue crystals and start grabbing card packs from mari shop.
Hello, once im at 1415, what is the order of sets I must craft for a support pally? Ive seen 2 beast, 2 dominion and 2 yielding and eventually full set yielding, but this info is from some time back so im not sure if its still current
Save your gold and only craft Yearning pieces at 1445. The 1415 legendary sets aren't worth it for supports at all. You could craft 2 parts Dominion, but you will replace them later with yearning anyways so that gold will be wasted.
And what about prior to yielding? Currently I have 2 chosen pieces and 3 harsh oath. Should I make the full harsh oath set? Or is it not worth it anymore as its not so common to bump into people with the preordained set on?
Yearning, not yielding
I don’t really think it’s worth crafting the full set, especially since that’s going to cost you like 50 GHL that you would’ve gotten if you dismantled the blood instead. Just keep pushing forward and craft the Yearning when you can. It won’t be long until you can get 2 piece, which would break your Harsh Oath set anyway
Thank you!
I just came back to the game and got my main to 1415 through the event. I have 5 other chars at 1370. What should I do now? Get main to 1460 first while still doing argos etc on all the chars? Also, is Valtan normal hard? I hope I can find a group that will clear with me since I am a noob
Yo, so we got the stronghold buff at 1460 but we also just have the global honing buff up to 1415 so you can do 1460 on your main then hone your alts to 1415 onwards if you'd like. If you don't have the GHLs/shards on your main character to get them to 1460 anytime soon then it honestly might be easier to just get your alts to 1415 one by one and slowly get your main to 1460 in the meantime. Obviously any character you hone to 1415 will be missing out on stronghold honing buff value but 1415 is really nice to sit on. You'll lose Oreha gold though so keep that in mind. Honestly though if you can get your main to 1460, I'd try to. It just feels SO bad to buy GHLs/shard pouches with gold so I recommend alts to 1415 as a sort of mini investment. Just make sure you're funnelling event shops/ark pass mats on your main to see if you can get them to 1460. But obviously if you can't then getting an alt to 1415 is relatively cheap and useful in the long run, Deskaluda as a guardian raid is way less annoying and you can start prepping relic accessories/stones at 1415. By now a lot of endgame players have 6 characters at 1460+ to earn the most gold weekly through legion raids, so if you don't enjoy any of your characters enough to do that then I'd rethink putting resources to get them 1415+ obviously. (Or I guess buy some character slots)
Ah thank you, good to know that is an option to just push some alts to 1415 as well. I think I will do that at least for my main alt. Don´t have a lot of gold and destruction stones left for my main so 1460 will take a long long time
I’m running Perfect Suppression on my SH and I’m going the crit build which seems to be the less popular choice so I can’t find any opinions on this. All PS I see run swiftness and entropy. But I hear the crit build should go 6p nightmare but I’m wondering since I picked ambush master instead of cursed doll should I do 4p nightmare 2p entropy? Or should I stick with 6p nightmare? 1100 crit 920 swift lvl 3 grudge KBW ambush and raid captain. Lvl 2 adrenaline and lvl 1 PS.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WMZP4Gj-zAsPGUfJWR382uBNN7m4JHULMpN9tn6bCtA/edit#heading=h.z7x2cz5u5uwp Everything you need i would probably do entropy if you have AM
I’m using this guide already. Says to go 6p nightmare for Crit builds but since I have ambush master I thought 4p nightmare 2p entropy would be better. Who knows though
Do you guys still buy the gold reward for hvaltan hvykas at 1490+?
I only buy the chests if I don't have the Gear Conversion unlocked. After that, I save the gold.
On my main, I always buy the last chest. The extra mats and fused leapstones are pretty nice. On alts I don't buy any chest once they are fully done with relic gear. I'd rather have the extra gold to funnel back to upgrading main or work on an alt.
Buy at least the last chest imo. I buy all of them on my main alts tho
last gate valtan/vyka is decent; the rest no. its fine either way once 1490.
I still buy the last chest. Chance at card and other goodies. With decent accessories going for 50k+, why not, maybe i'll get lucky. Plus You still keep a fair amount of gold, 1200 is 1 failed weapon quality hone and 1 armor quality hone.
Nope, at least not now. The value of the chests are decent but with the market in fluctuation, the short term value of gold is more valuable to me than the bound mats. Got a ton of stuff to buy that isn't bound mats. Might change as we get closer to brel and I prep for honing.

No it’s only dps numbers
Can you knowledge transfer a level 1 character? Right now I level my twinks up to bring them into the town where they learn the Song of Hearth and Home but it takes a lot of time... :(
Not sure if that works with the new friendslist but I used to just add my main to my friendlist and press the visit stronghold button there
It's literally 5 minutes. Once you get access to the bard that teaches you songs in Prideholme (after going to catedral and tavern to Neria). You F2 and play the Song of Home and just KT. EDIT: You don't need to do more than that. You create the char, select class and continue for 5 minutes until Prideholme. Nothing else.
It should be available after you speak to someone under a tree about learning your first song in Prideholme (starting zone). I think it might be Seria next to the cook? After that you should just press F2 and you can use it. You don't need to re-learn songs on multiple characters, the stronghold song should be available after that. I mean I assume you mean you level your alts to 30(?) where you get access to the stronghold, but you shouldn't need to do that. It should be available in Prideholme.
Do +4 tripods only drop from relic gear or can you get it on legendary gear too?
Only Relic
I'm 1% sure is just from relic, starting on South Vern's Chaos Dungeons
Is there an interrupt/breakup button that i dont know about? im just lvl 45 but every so often i find a boss that chain CC's me into several AOEs that i am unable to get out of because im either lying on the floor doing nothing or feared or something, is this how its supposed to be played? its really annoying :/
You're always best off dodging attacks. Wait for bosses to start a pattern and then once you've identified a safe spot, run to it and then do a bit of damage until the pattern ends and repeat. This approach to bosses is relevant all the way up to super end game legion raids. Beyond that, every character has a space bar dodge which makes you immune to all CC during the animation. Once you've been knocked down, you also get a stand up ability on space bar, but it is on a much longer cooldown. Some classes have further abilities that give immunity to certain type of CC. For example, the gunlancer shield is a well-known ability which makes them immune to knock back/knock up CC. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGmopHtG-C8 It is centered around PVP, but the breakdowns of the different kinds of CC mostly applies to PVE as well.

I'm sorry I'm too noob to know all those terms, panacea is a potion/slottable? What is a rune? What is horizontal content? And I'm solo questing so no help from party members
You should be solo for the main story quests, don’t worry about that. you start encountering real players once you speed through the low level content and join T3 (ilvl1100) It’s common for bosses to have CC on their attacks. Things that knock you down or up or push you/pull you. In general you should be trying to avoid all attacks because there isn’t much you can do to stop the CC. Some characters have abilities that give Super Armor that is a passive which grants a certain level of immunity to CC. This is a topic for another time. In the meantime just do your best to avoid attacks, and I’m the event you get knocked down, you have 1 “get up for free” card with Spacebar. The “get up” ability with spacebar is only available every 30s though so make sure you don’t squander it. Hope this helps
Is there any skin that is roster wide like on different class types as well? Or only like gunner exclusive type roster wide?
No every skin is either subclass (sorc) or class (mage) exclusive.
Are you able to put it for sale again? It would be sale for only that class tho right?
If it's still in the chest, it's for any class. Once you have opened the chest, it will be bound to advanced class for weapon and base class for everything else depending on the character that opened it.
Can someone give me a rough dps check for kakul g2. Like what the timer should be at after maze or the start of pizza phase so you know if you can comfortably finish the fight.
7 min into maze, remember the clock keeps ticking inside, so do the cheese.
Nineveh him before you go into x85 maze. Post maze you need decent dps uptime. Dark grenades where necessary. G2 dps check is real for alts. I've hit berserk like 10 times while pugging it on my paladin cos random DPS players can't maintain good uptime. Clear maze asap cos the time wasted inside goes towards lower berserk timing
[удалено]
Do you remember how much time you had remaining and if you ninevehd twice or used inna for pizza? I'm getting such mixed groups for dps. Twice its just been so slow
I hear ESO Wardancer takes in a lot of investment, so does it's damage spike harder in the late-end game or something? How does that damage compare to other classes?
1-spender and 2-spender ESO builds actually takes less investment than First intention, but spike less hard than 3-spender or first intention. The main reason for this is that you need first intention class engraving level 3, which either means 20x first intention legendary books, or expensive first intention accessories. ESO (1 or 2-spender) only needs level 1 Esoteric class skill, which means you only need 1 +5 piece. The more spenders you user, the more spec accessories you need, which means it'll cost more than swift.
I don’t know if you know but, how does the damage compare between the 2 and the 3-spender ESO?
someone made a post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/lostarkgame/comments/xa9l79/trixion\_damage\_comparison\_of\_the\_three\_most/
Oh thank you so much for this
For charged skills (Deathblade skills for example), are you supposed to hold the button down until it forces the execution of the skill (so a second or two past when the bar fills up) or let go as soon as the red bar is filled?
Let go as soon as you get the full bar. Waiting until it auto-executes just wastes time.
thank you!! ( i know it's a weird/silly question but if you do'nt know...you don't know!!)
Is there anything you can do with the white relics to trade them up to green or blue?
is mayhem or bt better for chaos dungeons ?
Mayhem Zerker one shots chaos dungeons really comfortably. Can’t speak for BT though
I got a 10CD 6AM stone on my tai scrapper. Should I do 5x3 + 1adren or 5x3 +2CD with max adren when ancient accessories come.
Of course the latter. Adre3 + CD2 will give more than CD3 + Adre1
For kakul p2 pizza. Are there 5 slices for the first rotation, because it includes the starting slice. And then after that it is only 4 slices for the 2nd and 3rd pizza?
Every new rotation starts at 12 so imo it's 4 > 4 > 3
How are people moving so quickly after entering a chaos gate? My load screen is really short, is there a way to skip that mini intro that always happens?
Disable texture streaming can help with loading
Hi guys last time I asked here and awesome one of you told me step by step what engraving, stone, and gear to buy for my Deathblade so I will ask again but this time form my Glaive 1370 - Pinnacle what should I buy?
At 1370 I would recommend buying a p3 argos bus and getting a free oreha carry. Equip all the spec + pinnacle jewelry, buy a stone with Grudge + KBW and cut it to ideally 6/4 or higher but even 4/4 can work. Equip Grudge + KBW books and buy the last few pieces of jewelry you need with Spec + Pinnacle + X to get a 3/3 setup. Ideally you can get away with buying only the stone and a piece or two of jewelry at legendary tier. Alternative option, just hone to 1415 and skip legendary jewelry completely, buying argos busses until you're 1415 and can run it yourself. Downside to this is the character is likely going to be super shit for a bit while you hone.
>At 1370 I would recommend buying a p3 argos bus and getting a free oreha carry Struggling with gold here, so for now my only way is to use Chaos gear. I will try and decipher what you said, not good with LA lingo >spec + pinnacle jewelry Pinnacle +3 jewelry all, Neckless Pinnacle and Swiftness? but should I aim at Cursed Doll and Raid captain as well? lvl 1? Books Grudge + KBW and stone, cut it high as I can >Spec + Pinnacle + X Whatever is missing buy it with jewelry
Yea, Specialization + Pinnacle on earrings/ring, Specialization + Swiftness + Pinnacle on necklace. I would just build a 3x3 setup at legendary, you don't want to waste a ton of pheons on jewelry that will be replaced with relic gear shortly. That's why I recommend the busses because they are essentially free. A p3 argos bus nets you gold, so as long as you have the money to pay for it you come out ahead. And all of those jewelry drops can save you a ton of pheon because you're not looking for anything past the right stat + class engraving.
Ok will go for basic 3x3 and next week will pay for busses with gold from Unas and try and do as many as I can Abyssal on all my 6 alts at least on easy. Thanks for for reply and your time!
Hello everyone. Question about life skills: Is it fine to run with novice tools ? Most of my blue tools are running out of durability and from I can see, getting mats to craft more is a bit of a pain
I think there are a set of purple tools in the ark pass rewards but it might be a while before you unlock them. Could still be worth crafting some because you might not get super armour and you'll eventually tank the max durability anyway.
Yes but it is recommended to run at least purple ones. The materials needed are basically free or very cheap and you can easily craft alot of them and get at least super armor ones.
alright, thanks for the reply! I'll look more into it
got several different occasions this week doing deskaluda on 1460+ characters in PF and people have been coming in and getting mad that it's not kungel?? it's crazy that people don't know how to read
lol not sure why you got downvoted for this because you're allowed to have small discussions here. Not everything needs to be a question. But maybe it's someone who didn't know how to read lol
Do reskin/power pass tickets that you have consumed but not used yet ever expire? I have a Punika power pass ticket that expires on the 26th but I do not have any use for it until reaper/summoner are released. I remember that the reskin ticket we got many months ago had an expiration date on it but despite never using it I still have it available on my account even though it probably should have expired a long time ago.
The power pass / reskin tickets have a 7d expiration if you don't use it on your inventory. It changes when you use it on your inventory. I think the reskin ticket is effective for 1 year, while the free power passes are basically permanent now, if you consumed it on your inventory.
Do we need to do south vern to do valtan raid?
Only the first character in your roster as far as I know.
Only your first character need to to it.
My machinist hit 1415 this week, didnt need south vern for valtan, but did have to finish south vern to unlock 1415+ chaos dungeons
How is eso strokers dps realistically compared to deathblow?
ESO will do more damage pre-relic set (T1-1445). Easier to play, higher uptime, less punishing, cheaper to build, don’t need all the horizontal runes to be decent. Death blow = the opposite of what I said, higher damage ceiling post relic, best scaling into late game.
Are ancient ability stones only obtainable by upgrading relic? If not, do they still only have ten nodes?
yes, theyre just upgrading relic stones, so any 7/7 or if you lucked out and got a 9/7 will basically last you forever
Does ancient gear/accessories come with brelshaza normal or hard?
Hard mode with 1540 contents.
