@@ryancilione299 From what I understand we'll get all of T1 and T2 except Classes. And on top we get parts of T3, so max lvl 60, gearscore and SOME regions and Dungeons + Raids.
2 things I think are important: 1) Keep your tradeable materials that you gather in the far left warehouse so they don't get used up unless you explicitly need them. Stuff that is character bound should always be used first in your upgrading. 2) there are points where you get 20 stacks of chests with materials or gems and while it may be tempting to open all 20, open them individually as you need them. I opened all twenty when I needed small blue and red crystals, now I have thousands bound to my character, and I have out leveled those crystals. Opening them as needed would have allowed me to pass the chests to my alts. Or just pick the next level of crystals.
i messed up with this did 506 iteam lvl assassin then i stop like to play it so i create paladin and have no stones to upgrade do u think it will be better to start from beginning or just keep going?
@@GamerGify If you power passed your Paladin to 50, and you grabbed all the island quests the first time through, you won't get the bonus materials. But you can run chaos dungeons to no end and buy the weekly materials from the vendor and the ship. One of the ships sells materials for Pirate coins. Both have weekly limits though. I do not know if starting over adds value. I don't even know what happens if you delete your first character and then start another. The materials gained through story and island may be locked to your roster so they may not reset. I would just keep going. You will get the materials over time. CD and GR are the best sources to get drops and use the weekly purchase limits on the vendor and the ship, also check daily tasks for the ones that reward with materials you need. To put this in perspective, I did not run islands at all in RU and I lvled to t3 pretty steadily....but I also had the catchup mechanic working in my favor there. I think you just keep going with the paladin.
Additional tip: hold ALT to compare an earing / earpiece to the second one equipped. Another ALT tip: instead of reading 20 books of engraving separately, stack them up and ALT + click it to read them all at once (same thing for cooking the donut in Luterra castle)
When buying accessories, do not buy items with the same name. Accessories with the same name cannot be equipped at the same time. Clothing such as hats and tops does not matter. Please be mindful of that. Otherwise, you could lose a lot of money later.
Thank you for this video helped me pass another 16 minutes of waiting time before release, the game is just too far away still and I haven't been this excited for a game in years
I finally gave in and started playing on the Russian servers I'm not going to grind too hard but it's really fun I think you're really going to enjoy it
@@RealmRunner94 played enough of beta to know I wont. Im just in dire need of something new and something that's not to much hardcore like tarkov. So just really looking forward to this, and sadly no wont be playing the russian one. Dont wanna grind story
I like how he emphasizes things for casual players like he knows some are not so free with regards to their time like me. With the things he said I'm comfortable that even if I don't invest too much time in this game daily. I would still get to enjoy it.
Good video sir, but I would like to point out there is a daily quest for u to do to get feathers if you are out of them later on. Complete 1 of the yellow quest in artemis continent on the map called border it will unlock the daily quest. It will provide feather if you do the dailies you can do it if you are really out of them then just set an alt there to pick n do that quest but feathers are alot normally you would not need to do it if you don't waste it. But just incase you exhaust it that is 1 of the way, just putting it out there not necessarily have to spend cash to get em tho.
What is the significance of setting an alt there? Does that mean everytime you log in to the alt youll be where you want to be to complete that quest and keep repeating it?
@@AdrianDWolfe It is just to save time. You do not have to travel to that point with your character (traveling without the teleport set on that place is time consuming) if you place an alt character at that place and can simply log on him and complete the quest daily.
Honestly bro I usually wing it with these games because of how complex they become but your channel is the first one I’ve ever returned to based on how well you verbalize things. Had to sub. Thanks for the videos man.
Concerning the leveling, I played on RU recently doing some experiments on the best way to lvl. I leveled a berserker and a striker all the way to 50. The berseker I just did mains, on striker, I did everything including the seccondary quests and the results were: Berserker: 12:26 hours Striker: 14:45 hours So, the difference between both leveling methods was about 2 hours and 20 minutes. For the people that will just burn the first day leveling nonstop, that is a very minor difference and you will see yourself on lvl 50 either way on day 1. For the people that actually split the gaming time in a few hours a day, that will be different. Things to mention concerning those 2 lvling experiences: 1- I had already leveled a paladin before running those tests, so quests like the pet quest, island quest and gathering quest didn´t enter the equation, since you only need to do those once on the account. 2- I skipped the tutorial on both cases, that eased up quite some time, I would guess 30 mins or so minimum. 3- I had no competition for quests like "kill x mobs" or "collect x resources", you know, any quest that would put you on a halt in case you have a horde of players competing with you and forcing you to sit still and wait for respawns. So those benchmarks may be slightly higher on day 1 and considering how the launch of NW was, I would guess that we will face queues for entering the servers, it´s amazon after all, so don´t be frustrated if things take a bit longer than what I got on RU.
hearing so many +'s for casual players is music to my ears. i work full time, have a newborn, and have other weekly hobbies. being able to dump either a lot of hours in one day of the week or an hour here and there throughout the week and still be relevant is SO NICE to know 🙏
@@ratstar4102 because % potions can be used in end game. Better to save them. Static potions can't be used in end game. So if it says heal 40% for example, keep it. If it says heal 600 life for example, then use it.
@@ratstar4102 To clarify: there is two types of potions. One heals over time. One heals in one burst. The latter effectively costs gold, which is a timegated ressource and should thus not be wasted. You will (likely) not need the instant potions while leveling / doing dailies and whatnot anyways. What's important is that you can *not* use the heal over time potions in, say, raids. So that's what you usually want to save the gold potions for. The heal over time one you can just buy as many as you need with silver.
I hit level 20 yesterday, and I am loving every part of it. Then thinking I’m doing what I should be doing, I look up a guide, and this dudes bringing up things I couldn’t even imagine were in the game. Just making me want more and more. YOUVE SOLD ME ALREADY DUDE!
What I wish I would’ve done differently on the RU server, was doing my guide quests as I level up as opposed to skipping them for later. If you’re someone who doesn’t like to back track to other to other continents I would recommend doing them as you see them. Some are very quick while I would maybe leave out the estate guide quests for later on, as to me that seemed to be one of the longer ones. The guide quests will be purple/pink quests. (I’m colorblind so I’m not quite sure 😂)
There is alot of info in the estate quest, but it only takes 10mins if you skip through it all, and it's a good idea to get started asap, as it's time based. also bonus tip for you, there is coloblind filters in the Accessibility menu :)
Thought i'd contribute with a correction and some advice, you need to buy the green tools to gather the materials for the guide quests that give the blue tools, so don't skip the green tools as you'll just get confused as to why you cant gather, plus you shouldn't use the blue tool for the early lvling of professions, it's a complete waste of max durability. Greens are cheap and easily disposable, blues less so.
@Konstantinos Kyprianou I'd say when you can reliably make them, then upgrades are more sustainable. So when you can craft blues start using blues etc, the only exception is relic tools as they are extremely hard to get, so unless its a purple node don't use relic tools on it, use purples. You'll notice that some professions have minigames, better tool and tool stats help with those, so leveling to "max lvl" (as far as I know there is no max lvl, you just stop getting big unlocks after lvl 30, the rest after are small passive upgrades) with greens is a lot harder than it has to be just to save some silver/gold. At the end of the day it's just about efficiency and getting bigger payouts of rare materials from nodes, better tools means better chance at getting good materials. If you want to break it down into levels, i'd say a tool upgrade every 10 lvls, so greens until lvl 10 etc. You could also just go to lvl 15 with greens, but then we're back to the efficiency dilemma.
@@andrewb7615 so where did you get the tool? The guide quest litteraly leads me to the vendor. I dont see anyplace to complete the quest without buying the tool
Great Vid, thanks. One thing I would add, when you get to Bern and complete the initial instanced quest and speak with the queen, do the Chaos dungeon for a set of 302 gear(or at least most pieces). It will make doing the remaining Bern quests a little easier and get you started in doing the Epona weekly. Then when you finish Shushire, replace/recycle any gear that is better quality (durability/additional stats) than what you have equipped. Hopefully it will get ppl into the habit of checking quality early as with T2 and T3 gear, you will be looking at Tripods also provided with the gear.
Thank you for the videos. So glad that this game can cater to casuals as much as hardcore gamers. Hard to have time for anything with a full time job and a family. Hopefully I can convince my wife and 13 yr old son to check this out so at least we can spend family time playing this game together.
If you complete the daily or weekly quests, you can receive an Epona Badge. You can exchange this badge for gold at the Gold Shop. Gold can be changed at any time. Badges are reset every week, so be sure to collect them before resetting. Press alt+j to see the progress of the quest.
Something I wish i knew when starting was to receive the rewards in the adventure book...by hitting "N" you'll bring up ur adventure book and in the top left it'll say "receive all". I didn't understand how friends were blasting 10+ Legacy levels ahead of me (im on RU), and by receiving the rewards up there u dont only get the rewards for the zone, but every 10% u also get a massive amount of legacy XP
One correction though you have to buy the mining and fishing gear for these 2 questlines. The other ones they hand you a free uncommon tool then if you complete the quests you also get a free rare. But mining and fishing you get no free uncommon one to start the quest, so you have to buy them and just get the rare reward after you finish the quests.
I actually enjoy doing all the side missions and not just do the main story line. I’m in no hurry to the end content or rushing through it. It’s like eating at great restaurant; you don’t just eat the food quickly, you stop during bites and thoroughly tastes what you’re eating and define the complexities in your meal. So, that’s how I play my mmo’s. Every one keeps saying, “just do the main quests, you’ll level faster”. Nope. Not me. For me, it takes away from the authenticity of the game and gameplay created by the devs that they want you to experience.
2:32 to go along with this I would also like to point out that you can repair these items for SIGNIFICANTLY less than it takes to buy them again! Please keep an eye on your durability :)
i would've tried other classes earlier, it's your experience don't make YOUR choices based on someone elses opinion! each class is amazing and well balanced don't be afraid do it!
I'm having a BLAST with Lost ark so far. It's easily the best combat I've experienced in an MMO. I was mainly playing ESO before starting this game and the combat alone is a HUUUUGE upgrade
I think you need to buy the fishing rod and the pickaxe at the very least to unlock the life skills. All the other guide quests do provide you with a tool.
Thank you SO MUCH Codiak! Always appreciate your well thought out videos. Great info given very concisely, very clearly, no fluff. Your no nonsense & straightforward delivery is what drew me to Legacy. Keep up the great work!
Its amazing that I already like this game when I haven't even played it yet. It seems like the developers are actually gamers who understand that many of us lack the time to invest many hours a day into a game in order to stay competitive. Thank you Lost Ark devs.
nope their not genuine gamers (they will fake it for PR though) or so many things would be changed if gamers made a game and were n charge of such details (hence indie industry is very diferent), the corporate game development industry revolves around the mobile gaming market these days, so their is a heavy emphasis in all the big games to cater to casual gamers and the whales, were whales can be both casual and also fulltime gamers as well, but as the majority of money outside whales comes from casual gamers and content for casual gamers is more simple to make = corporations love the fact casual gamers are cheaper to catter to, but also = more $$$ then the actual fan base. this is one reason they completely ignore the fan base for their games, they arent the ones who are willing to spend all that $$$ on stuff normally expected to be included in the price or base game for free and while casuals are in order to maximize the returns on their limited "time" investment in a game are far more willing to throw $$$ at the game, but at the same time the corporations understand casuals need some incentives and "bait" to keep them returning as well, as they cant spend $$$ every time they log in to play catch up, unless their a whale.
dont do the tower on your main first, do it on your alt first, then do it on your main because it gives much more upgrade mats the 2nd time, since its intended for alts to catch up, but you can boost your main with it instead
Could you explain in a way that a noob understands? We just recently unlocked the tower, should we not do it at all until we have other characters up to that point?
The first guide quest for all skills require you to buy and equip novice tools, the upgraded forms even if you have them do not satisfy the requirement so you do need to buy it, even though it gives you a blue at the end.... And yeah doing even side quest you end up pretty overleveled, but a fun tip you can skip continents so hitting 50 and going to vern is the better option for progression since vern unlocks those end game features like una's tasks, chaos dungeons, guardian raids etc. But you will eventually have to go back and do the stuff you left behind if it involves an ark since thats all that really matters for the main quest.
I dunno if someone already pointed it out but when you need to go to shushire, you need to use the third type of ship that is able to break the ice. I had to learn that the hard way to arrive there.
Forced 21:9 aspect has me SOLD! I have an ultra wide and hate it when games refuse to let me enjoy the monitor I bought! OMG the rest mechanic is amazing!
I agree with all the things you said here save 1 and the only reason I don't necessarily 'agree' is because I would add a caveat. The tip in question is "Join a Guild as soon as possible." Personally, I would rather feel out, or speak with some of the members of the guild before I join it so I'm not wasting anyone's time. (Including my own) Getting into a guild that doesn't share you goals and/or you don't particularly care for not only sets you back but it can effect your motivation. Just my two cents mate, either way great video.
my mistake was that i watched waaay to many guides before even playing the game but after i saw someone just say, play what you like, all classes do bring something, and so I did, think it was around 7% that do play the class, Wardancer :)
I honestly couldn't care how fast I get to max level, that isn't the game for me, I like story quests and exploring. Just hope this game doesn't get elitests who belittle other players. If there's elites who offer guidance then that's different to me.
I love how you explain things in a way that's slightly less confusing (just because there's ALOT in this game) but then you also say what the mistake is so you know what to look out for
Not totally sure about the game yet, though it’s really interesting, but I have to give you a shout out for your amazing production values and clear presentation.
3:38 lol i finished at 50 like a whole island before shushire and used my power pass to get a sorc. Its so nice. The games complex but stick with it, but be wary, this game is addictive due to its system of honing and faceting gems. It works on a % chance, and this is a mini “gambling” mechanic (when it comes to our brain, it interprets this as gambling) that people who have addictive personalities may feel a strong urge towards, so
2:32 While yes, you get blue life skill tools from quest, they are not guaranteed to give you super armor skill while gathering, this skill will save you a TON of time while life skilling so while leveling your life skills its generally easier to just spam buy tools from the merchant til you get the super armor skill on the tool
My only tip: Make sure to check your earrings/rings often, as it only shows upgrades to the top slot of each respectively, and you may be behind because you are only swapping out 1 set of each.
"Don't worry about picking up every flower along your way" haha yeah I'm gonna be the flower picking Gunlancer that takes two year to move five feet in order to fill my bag with every weed and pebble on the roadside.
As someone who doesn't like the Stronghold type stuff, F*** them for making it basically mandatory. Housing is cool for those who like to do it (I don't... I just think it is cool for the creative types to be able to)... however as usual it is just another mechanic to make crafting more complicated and to make another timesink. It is a mechanic to make you set a timer to log in, or suffer months of catching up if you don't got the time. Do anyone find the time they spend at the Stronghold to be fun? To me, it has just been "return to base to start the next timesink".
i start some days ago to watch your videos and i really like it ,they are very helpful,ty so much .Btw , i´m the first guy to say that u look like steven seagal ? lol
Hi, just joined this channel, and very excited for this game!...quick question about strongholds. I'm assuming this is also the place where you store all of your "stuff"?....if so, are there capacity limits?.....I'm currently playing New World, and the capacity limits in the storage sheds are driving me nuts!!
No you can store in any place around the map but it is all connected to one storage space. Also there is slots that you unlock and can fit everything in there. Storage in this game is def not a problem I havent heard anyone run into problems and there is no weight for things.
2:32 CON MAN: You say not to buy from this guy because they will give you the tools after you complete the quest, but in order to complete the quest you need to equip a mining tool...? What am I missing?
should we break down all the equipment dupes we get while leveling, or simply sell them? should you hang on to the scrap? is it for anything other than vendors?
if anyone is confused about gearing and accessories, there are plenty of guides out there but i believe that the channel "Lost Ark Luna" has easy to understand videos and they are not super long. She has a video for armor/weapons and a part 2 for accessories.
The only question I haven't seen people talk about yet but what stuff would I wanna sell or what's an item I should be spamming my discord bros at to show off I got?
Only use flat hp potions when leveling (600, 980, 1560, etc) because at late game, you can have over 60k hp and your 2k hp potion wont do jack shit to help when its a mere 5% of your hp. Also, hp pots are probably expensive to make.
That pretty much nails all the noob traps. Even a seasoned Korean MMO Veteran like me can find all these systems a bit overwhelming at first glance. TL;DR - Throw everything in the storage except regular HP potions and equipment. I guess opening card packs is fine but I doubt you need the bonuses while leveling. Soul of the Ultimate Nation, Dungeon Fighter Online, Blade & Soul, Vindictus, etc., been through it all.
Really enjoyed the video and all the content. But a friend pointed out my boy had his crew neck on backwards, can see the tag sticking out in the front and now I can't unsee it.
No, they realized that if you can swap main you have more chances to buy stuff from cash shop from them. Really is that simple. I mean you can call it what you want, its "How can we get players to buy things if they already have one character they like". Its like that with most asian MMO. Not a bad thing if got self control, but that is what it is. The whole idea of doing daily quests and stuff is exactly a way to make you want to play the game like a job. I have no desire, and do most players in NA want to do them.
That was false info, they are not finite. You have dailies you can unlock to get them. If you really want to die a lot, you can do those dailies on like 10 alts to stack a ton of feathers.
