A streamer mentioned a long time ago that there was a player on the KR servers spend around $30k and still didn't get a 9/7 rock. At that point, do not expect to get a 9/7 ability stone ever.
30:25 , definitely does work. I'm a new player that started playing with this new breaker pass and I wait like 5 mins max for like Akkans and Kaya HMs even though I'm like 100 roster level, not even DD30 and event gems
20:00 - If I see a relic rock it's likely a char under 170k hp, will die to a LOT of thaemine attacks in a single hit and will die to EVERYTHING in an instant around the 70% hp range(where lots of people don't pot up and supports aren't willing to top dps hp up) whereas people with lv 4 rock can survive enough to react to followup damage with a pot/ts/space/shield. Personally very big to me It's also like wtf are people tapping armour quality for when you don't have a maxed rock, for the cost of a single armour piece at 90 qual you could get 3-4 rocks upgraded to level 4 and the rock is worth multiple times the hp gain of a single armour piece at 90 qual #1 thing for non day 1 lost ark players is push a support -> push dps after then use your support to join a support trade at highest level available content. You don't need to push multiple supports The support trade thing is a big deal for voldis NM/HM rn people are only really taking over ilvl dps pugs or incredibly high account progession on ilvl players (220+ roster/los 30) for nm I'd personally instantly accept a phantom monarch without checking their character much - Could be an option but likely unachievable for 99.9% of newer players
From what I hear high stat artist level 7 or 8 needed for the brand flower thing, the rest can be 5s and get full uptime. Granted that doesn't leave any room for error. Soulfist eo definitely wants cooldown gems and high swift over damage gems. Pretty sure energy release 9 (or 10 ?) And then force orb if that's what they are running, seen breakpoints in nexus too.
If you want to experience all the raids and content with minimal gatekeeping, roll support as your first character. You can learn everything and then make a DPS.
I just came back to check things out after being gone since December 2023 and I still out-roster-level people by a lot. I'm 224. Most people I see, even 1600 are like 100. :P
1610 is the worst possible spot to park any character. Nowdays it's either pick 1 main character and push it 1630 while the rest are funnel fodder, or build out a roster of 6x 1620s and wait for Enchidna slowly building out your whole roster. It's more fun to have a 1620 roster, but it's extremely hard on the gold while you work through elixirs, early transcendence, quality, gems, etc.
Careful when pushing to 1610 and then to 1620. Cuz 1610, especially thameine is where Gatekeeping goes to the moon, make sure you're well juiced with lvl 9 gems, 5x3+1, los 30 and decent purple elixrs with crit dmg and boss dmg, even if no 35 elixir or above(even with these stats you will still be gatekept).
Then you either did bad choice with selector or didnt play enough My alt roster on JS got LOS30 recently and even with the help we got pretty sure it wasnt close enough to what player playing for 1.5y should have get
@@chriso6042 That's not how that works. You pay the same amount if you level 1>4 or 1>2>3>4. The only difference is the materials you use on levels. Level 1 is 6K plus mats Lvl 2 is 6K plus mats etc...
Not a chance youll get in voldis hard. Strong disagree. Maybe if youre waiting for countless hours. Probably the worst supp shortage here, i had to do nm last week and im 5x3+2, 1830 main stat, 95qual wep, way better bracelet, los30, roster 261, 4 lvl 10 gems,2 9s, 40 set, full lvl 2 transcendence. Only parties that had support took 1630+dps I guess the best chance is making a hm learning party, and hope theres a support thatll join that instead of just joining a reclear. Or push supp too and do supp swap.
Agree with you. People only accept high roster, lv10 gems, +23 weapon and above, los30, 40 elixir. My main didn't go for hm for 2 weeks because no one want to accept even with 3x lv10 gem, 40 elixirs, los30. So the best things i can do is to wait until solo mode which would help ALOT players with gate keep.
Let me add some points. You should push to 35 elixir set on epics on all your chars especially sorc. It doesn't cost much the most I payed on any of my 6 chars is ~50k when the mats were 5x of what they cost now. This will significantly lower the gold cost you need to spend on legendaries to get to 40. This is often the difference between just spending another 50k to 100k+silver elixirs or spending 500k. You have 6 chars. Send around your stones and bracelets that drop and eventually you hit them naturally. Make your los30 as soon as possible. The gatekeeping doesn't even matter, but it will allow you to compete for mvp giving you more enjoyment. You will get there eventually with lwc. The difference between lwc and yhp is very minor. You can make up the difference with elixirs and trancendence. Your issues with artist uptime propably stems from the fact that you cast when your buff goes down not factoring in your cast time. You should always start casting a little bit before the buff runs out. Regarding gatekeep of your alts in ivory and honestly also in akkan as there is a big sup shortage rn, the easier way than gearing up is propably getting the last 3 levels on artist and then offering sup trades. You as a player with 2 sups in your roster you should not worry about finding groups. Finding people to trade with will make gatekeeping disappear for you. Finding people for that can take a little time initially, but once you have the people on your friendlist it is as much time as shooting one dm to them.
for thaemine normal g3, if u don't have all level 9's on the ur damage gems I don't even consider you elixirs & transcendence are whatever if ur missing LOS30 you better have something else to entice me to take you i.e a level 10 gem or 35 set elixir etc. IMO if ur 1610 and your character isn't spec'd out to this amount you might as well just leave it at 1580. One thing as a player that's been playing since launch I didn't understand how big of a difference having a class you enjoy and have multiple of that same class(for example 2-3 slayers) find a class that you enjoy and make 2 of em, and do the same for another class you like, this allows you to push your characters in your roster higher since you don't need to spend all that gold on more gems(highly recommend) expecially if you are someone like me that enjoys multiple thaemines more than having a singular HM character. If you don't then you need to understand that those characters will need to sit back until you can afford gems on them to not get gatekept or wait 2hours for people to take you.
