Returning after a few months off and have the Mokoko buff despite my main being 1370 when I quit. When does it go away? Just got booted from an oblivion isle party because of it.
New or returning players receive the mokoko buff until 1415. If you're not already aware, from 1370 - 1415 it increases your damage dealt by 10% and reduces damage taken by 25%.
Question to ignite sorc, whenever I play my sorc I always save doomsday for the ignite rotation, I never use it for anything else, is this the correct move?
If you're in a raid with frequent boss downtime, as an example valtan g2, Vykas g2, then you should use doomsday, explosion and punishing for both damage and meter. If you spend 20 seconds building up your bar, then 10 seconds bursting, then the boss going away in those 20 seconds ruins that plan. If you know this is happening you can safely use your longer CDs and push igniter a bit if necessary.
It really depends on how fast you're building meter. If the cd comes back before you can charge your bar then use it, if not then hold it. Most important thing is to not delay your igniter window because you're waiting for doomsday
It's up to you if you want to play G6 first or have a better weapon first. Reaching 1520 is a lot easier with multiple transferred armor pieces. If you have +21 weapon that should be good enough at 1520 if you have max tripods and maybe a few gem upgrades above lv 7.
Someone did the math on this subreddit. Basically you still lose gold a bit more gold value from not doing argos VS doing chaos dungeon everyday (which might not be fun for u). You can always offset this by doing a 2-4man bus run which should net u more gold than running argos with 8man instead.
You can run Punishment just for extra weak point. Once you get level 3 VHP then it becomes quite enjoyable being a staggerbot and I find myself running Punishment on quite a few raids.
Most of these attack speed tripods without any say regarding groups etc just shorten the time the skill casts. So no it doesnt. The skill will just cast faster
How to earn silver?, Like a lot of silver, I just got my first level 7 gem and my happy face getting spit on by the crazy amount of silver needs to roll
Like everyone said, rerolling gems is not a good use of silver, since you need silver for lots of important things where you can substitute gold, like honing.
Is it worth buying the chest in vykas/valtan at this point? My chars are getting bussed in HM (since I'm only at ilvl with mediocre engravings) but I don't have any relic left side gear just yet...
I mean all the top gunslingers are doing it so I think so. Your ps numbers look off, it should not be doing almost 3x under 50%. Lv 5 tripod is 96% and the pm bonus is 30% so it should be around 16m not 20, in which case Srf is clearly better. Also Srf has 20% more crit from pm 10% and iats 10%
Hi guys Is artillerist swiftness build still viable now or after changes in korea ? I want to use powerpass and swift arti looks good but I dont want to change to spec later
I dont think swift arti exist because of the change in fpe engraving, you will lack crit rate going swift heavy build. But crit main stat with swift on necklace 2nd stat exists.
Hi there! What's the recommended build for Scrapper? I enjoy working with my leveling build that includes both Stam and Shock and I enjoy trying to balance them in a fight.
Recommendations on which 5x3 to go with on RE deathblade? The normal one with adrenaline and RE maxed or the cursed doll maxed, adren at lvl 2 and RE at lvl 1. I’ve tested both in trixion and the cursed doll build out damages just slightly.
4x3+2+1 does more damage than 5x3 and is probably cheaper due to not needing RE books, but you get CD negative and less AS / MS. The damage isn't huge enough where RE1 is vastly superior though, it's basically would you rather take QoL or <5% damage
It’s pretty significant, your tripods only get you to around 83% crit at max for ruin skills so you’re definitely not at cap. Plus your awakening doesn’t have crit tripods. I’d recommend just staying at 4x3 if you are there already until you can afford 5x3 so you don’t have to rebuild twice, or plan to only swap one or two accessories
I would assume there’s not much of a difference. You going to be hitting a crit on every ruin skill from tripods so I don’t even find adrenaline that useful for arcana unless you can go 5x3+1. Before patch I switched from grudge/barricade/hit master/cursed doll + adren 2+ empress 1 to grudge/raid captain/hit master/cursed doll/empress all lvl3 and it definitely does more damage
Work on your dailies (chaos dungeons, guardian raids, and una tasks) which will start to give you more honing mats. Then once you hit 1370 you can run the argos raid to upgrade your gear to legendary quality. You should be able to progress quickly all the way to 1415 with the increased honing buffs.
Is there a way to get the auction window back up? Often escaping out of menus and it fucking closes the auction window, sometimes I wanna wait around for a cheap quality stone but I had already accidently escape the auction window, lol.
That is honestly a personal decision. If you go 1490 you can get the new honing materials right away and either sell or hone. On the other hand, the 1475 chaos dungeon is extremely worth it to push to. People have studied how much “gold” the 1475 chaos dungeon is worth compared to previous and it’s a significant difference. If you are not afraid of FOMO I would personally go for 1475 (even if you don’t spend gold for 5x3). Brel will be available forever, but the sooner the chaos dungeon the better rewards now.
Push as many alts to 1490 as possible, and it's not even for Brel. Flipping upper relic mats will make you an obscene amount of gold for the few weeks of Brel launch, you can just buy the 5x3s with that.
Might be a very silly question, but considering I am just missing 3 accessories for my summoner, would it be worth it to spend 75 extra pheons and buy the accessories now and then transfer them on the summoner? Or just wait for release and buy them later even though the price and demand might increase?
I think it is dangerous to pre-buy all your accessories except the class one, because then you will be locked into a very specific class accessory that will be hard to find and probably very expensive. You also don't know which stone you're going to get. Normally the builds go the other way with stone and class first.
I bought the accessories I needed for scouter like a month in advance when prices were low. Checked them after scouter came out and they all went up like an extra 50-100k. If you have the gold right now I say it’s better to buy and hold on to them now. Worst case you can flip them if you end up not needing/wanting them.
shouldn't realistically rely on fused leapstones to actually level you up; if you're using them though, use on armor +20 since after +18 or so it consistently costs 16 anyway.
Not sure what you mean, are you talking about lining up the cooldowns? You should always try to get your LTS and TE into the crit buff window of Lightning Whisper because not critting them is so bad
Don’t need it for regular content, unless it’s a blue memelancer you are better off with spec for damage. They already struggle with DPS so not trying to lean further into the support role.
I don't think there's a set in stone requirement to solo bus since it vary a lot with player skill to do dps while having 100% aggro and mechanics. Some classes also performs better than others aside from balancing issues going for entropy class for example might be harder to pull off than just going in with reflux sorc. The lowest I personally seen is 1475 full relic 5x3 lvl 7 gems but I've seen better geared players fail.
Is there Any way besides p2w to get pheons? I got All the Amazon pheons already but its like Never enough, and i need to gear 2 more alts x.x
You buy blue crystals from the currency exchange with gold and use the crystals to buy pheons.

Question to ignite sorc, whenever I play my sorc I always save doomsday for the ignite rotation, I never use it for anything else, is this the correct move?
dont skip out on explosion and punishing strike, use them for meter gain and they are always rdy in your ignite
In a void, it's actually better DPS to use Explosion and Punishing Strike to generate meter and to benefit from the partial CD reset from igniting.
If you're in a raid with frequent boss downtime, as an example valtan g2, Vykas g2, then you should use doomsday, explosion and punishing for both damage and meter. If you spend 20 seconds building up your bar, then 10 seconds bursting, then the boss going away in those 20 seconds ruins that plan.

So since a lot of people including me are doing the brelshaza conversion method to play the first 4 gates first week
It's up to you if you want to play G6 first or have a better weapon first. Reaching 1520 is a lot easier with multiple transferred armor pieces. If you have +21 weapon that should be good enough at 1520 if you have max tripods and maybe a few gem upgrades above lv 7.
Is there some chart to brel weapon glow and transfer from relic?
basically hone once to get back to previous glow
Is it worth pushing an alt to 1475 if I'm not planning on doing clown on it, just for the increased chaos dungeon drops?
Someone did the math on this subreddit. Basically you still lose gold a bit more gold value from not doing argos VS doing chaos dungeon everyday (which might not be fun for u). You can always offset this by doing a 2-4man bus run which should net u more gold than running argos with 8man instead.
If your bottleneck is shards and GHL yes
For FI WD, what is better? Sweeping Hidden Dragon or Lightning Kick?
SHD for utility, LK for damage. SHD is recommended for beginners and once you are comfortable and want to push more damage go LK.
As a paladin what do you do for destruction checks?
You can run Punishment just for extra weak point. Once you get level 3 VHP then it becomes quite enjoyable being a staggerbot and I find myself running Punishment on quite a few raids.
For kunga these days I run punishiment over holy sword for extra destruction. Works great
Does Swift Fingers (Attack Speed) tripod on Paladins Holy Protection affect teammates?
Most of these attack speed tripods without any say regarding groups etc just shorten the time the skill casts. So no it doesnt. The skill will just cast faster
no just yourself
Is it worth getting my sorceress to ilvl 1415 from 1370? I've got the 1460 honing buff.
If you plan on playing it, yes
Is it worth to level lab to 7?
How to earn silver?, Like a lot of silver, I just got my first level 7 gem and my happy face getting spit on by the crazy amount of silver needs to roll
Like everyone said, rerolling gems is not a good use of silver, since you need silver for lots of important things where you can substitute gold, like honing.
I think you're not supposed to reroll gems. Either fuse them or do some AH magic I think.
You should probably look if your desired gem is available in the auction house.
Anyone using an amd gpu? Is 22.5.1 the drivers I should be using cause I've been getting tons of freezes using the latest driver.
Is it worth buying the chest in vykas/valtan at this point? My chars are getting bussed in HM (since I'm only at ilvl with mediocre engravings) but I don't have any relic left side gear just yet...
Buy if you need the wings (or wings for stone of chaos). Without the value of those it’s expensive for what you get
How much combat exp does 1 run of cube give? Also does running x3 give x3 the amount of exp?
If you dispatch it, 1.8m exp
About 1 million. 3x does not give more exp, just 3x the chests at the end.
As a pm3 with 1400/700 crit spec is srf really better than perfect shot?
It's a matter of preference. Both PS and SRF are mainly just filler skills while your main shotgun and rifle skills are on CD.
I mean all the top gunslingers are doing it so I think so. Your ps numbers look off, it should not be doing almost 3x under 50%. Lv 5 tripod is 96% and the pm bonus is 30% so it should be around 16m not 20, in which case Srf is clearly better. Also Srf has 20% more crit from pm 10% and iats 10%

The balance patch is already here, you can consult this doc for details:
Can a veteran give a rough estimate how long the progression of each of Brelshaza's gate will take on average?
Blind enjoyer here 10 hours per gate let’s goo. (Kakul g3 took 50 hours lol)
Hi there! What's the recommended build for Scrapper? I enjoy working with my leveling build that includes both Stam and Shock and I enjoy trying to balance them in a fight.
Shock is supposed to be a lot stronger
If you like balancing your meters then shock is the one you want. Taijutsu doesn’t manage meter. The only drawback to shock is that it’s slow.

According to the deathblade community guide, RE1 and adren 2 does the most damage, though not by a large margin. Saves on book costs too.
Want to go 4x3 + 1x2 + 1x1 on my empress arcana, but it's so expensive.
It’s pretty significant, your tripods only get you to around 83% crit at max for ruin skills so you’re definitely not at cap. Plus your awakening doesn’t have crit tripods.

Tips on what a new 1350 player should do to catch up and get gear? Friend just came back from 5+ month break
Work on your dailies (chaos dungeons, guardian raids, and una tasks) which will start to give you more honing mats. Then once you hit 1370 you can run the argos raid to upgrade your gear to legendary quality. You should be able to progress quickly all the way to 1415 with the increased honing buffs.
1460 reaper, better to get gold lunar books first or focus on honing?
I feel like you probably want to finish out lunar before toad disappears, as it'll probably spike again once it leaves
Can i get more than One protection rune on islands?
One rune per source

Yes
push 1480 alts to 1490 for brel or get 1460 alts to 1475 5x3 ? not sure which to prioritize
That is honestly a personal decision. If you go 1490 you can get the new honing materials right away and either sell or hone. On the other hand, the 1475 chaos dungeon is extremely worth it to push to. People have studied how much “gold” the 1475 chaos dungeon is worth compared to previous and it’s a significant difference.

Probably 1490 since 1475 is kinda useless and 5x3 is expensive, only point is to prepare for 1490 but you only have 1.5 weeks probably

Is splendid WW more stagger damage than regular WW? And if so by how much?
Reaper is insanely op in pvp
They're probably dead if you catch them. Its just nearly impossible to initiate onto a class that has stealth, ranged stuns, and high mobility.
Perfect ninja rogue class with shit ton of mobility we all know how those classes do in mmo pvp
Is there a date for the winter loan/live stream in korea? The one where they show female berserker etc
Dec 18th 15:00 in KR; just check out streamers like Zeals who're Korean/English I guess?
is it bots that are selling small stacks of red/blue stones in increments of 1 - 150? I haven't been able to buy 999 stacks for pretty much weeks.
I'm a bit confuse on how to set up the amulet for auto dismantle.
Think I'll just start copy/pasting this since I'm seeing this question in every daily thread:
So, with Brel mats we can upgrade lvl2 relic gear only?
No, set bonus level doesn’t matter.
Pretty sure your level transfers, someone was saying KR players sometimes do Brel first for the gear before doing Kakul for the upgrade.
Finally completed 5x3 on my main. 1462.5. Should I use fused leapstones to hone to 1475, or hone normally and then use my fl to hone 1490?
Use them to hone to 1475. The chance should be 5%. After that just save, because the chance becomes 3% and that’s too low
shouldn't realistically rely on fused leapstones to actually level you up; if you're using them though, use on armor +20 since after +18 or so it consistently costs 16 anyway.
do i have to wait to get the trusted status on my steam account when i add $5 to the steam wallet or does lost ark change the status instantly ?
Should be immediate. Might require a restart of steam/the game at least though.
Is the 44% Attackpower buff Summoner gets on Sticky Swamp Moss and Carnivorous Lily the same one or do they stack?
Only the highest one applies, so you need to cycle them.
They do not stack.
Where would I go to farm mushrooms? A lot of crafts I need to do right now are shrooms, and Lullaby only has two spawns afaik.

Deathblow striker friends, random probably inconsequential question.

Is there a reason why swiftness/expertise gunlancer is not a build for regular content like it is in hell/inferno as a support/staggerbot?
Its only a thing for helltan, so not really worth to build around it for regular raids
Don’t need it for regular content, unless it’s a blue memelancer you are better off with spec for damage. They already struggle with DPS so not trying to lean further into the support role.
Overgearing content means no stagger window to abuse. Boss already at next mech with refreshed/locked stagger before you even get to stagger it
Cant expect pugs to time buffs/burst around the stagger windows like in hell content with coordinated groups
At what point are you strong enough to do normal valtan solo bus?
I don't think there's a set in stone requirement to solo bus since it vary a lot with player skill to do dps while having 100% aggro and mechanics.
