Been trying to wrap my head around the subject for quite a while and your video was the most consistent and easy to understand. So easy that I almost feel silly for not having understood sooner by myself. Really nice vids Codiak as always!
This video has great info. With that said....This is one of the areas of Lost ark that is extremely overcomplicated and more of a headache than something fun.
Still massively confused by which engraving stats to focus on by class. and the wiki didn't list half of the ability stones mods I had. Very frustrating for a new player.
Bro I have been following your channel for a good while between two youtube accounts and honestly I joined Legacy gaming because they passion you have when talking about Lost Ark and even other games before is capturing. Thanks for all the info your giving.
Just getting in to losk ark and this guide helps alot. Ty. Ive always been confused on how engravings work. There is so much rng in this game from honing, quality, stat rolls, cards... i think it will take me a year of grinding everyday to get to brel raid 😂
This was a more of an intermediate guide...NICE! I found a guide for infants (like myself, lol), so I understood this alot better this time. Thank you!!
This is an extremely user unfriendly system. You get engraving recipes early on during leveling and the game expects you to know to save them all up? I used all of the few green ones I had on random abilities at lvl 30 thinking to unlock all of them eventually anyway. Have I just screwed my endgame progression?
I feel like this is the intention. Confuse players, they use the stuff wrong, and are stuck grinding to make up the difference. I really wish this game didnt have 400 different systems with half of them seemingly just fluff and the others being make or break for endgame.
@@Futuran123 I’m past lvl 50 and still get green books, blue books so no need to worry. Just start grinding ignite and reflux build. You also can buy the books @ the auction house
@@enthusiasticamateur8516 I just hit level 29 and got my first stones and engravings so as a new player I can confirm that it absolutely did the trick for me
You found your calling, bro. You're a pro at this. Best Lost Ark videos on RU-vid. One question though...the Books unlock Engravings and Engravings are shared across all characters on your account on the same server...so why shouldn't I just use all the books and unlock everything thereby unlocking everything for all my characters?
Because they let you choose which ones you unlock first depending on your choice. So ideally you'd pick the ones for your *main* or the toons you're currently playing
@@kajiwebster8802 ....I still don't understand...your engravings are unlocked for all your characters on a server. If engravings are unlocked for all characters when you unlock them, why does it matter which character reads the book? That's where I'm getting lost. Wouldn't all your characters' unlocked engravings be the same?
@@bl568 Because there are limited amounts of these books from fixed rewards. So the ones that let you choose, you should be only picking the ones you need. When you get random books, by all means, learn them and sell the extras.
I absolutely hate systems like this where they give you a ton of limited and extremely valuable class stuff like engravings and then never ever tell you how important they really are unless you are a veteran of Korean MMO game design. Either way, thank you for the video because engravings are still confusing as all hell lmao.
agreed. Its super frustrating. I opened a chest and selected all out attack for all of them. Didnt know i couldnt use them all and that i'd need to use blue rarity. Wish you could exchange them at an npc for another one of that same tier.
Even though, I've watch this before I reach the engraving quest, I still committed a mistake. I should have double check the engraving prices in the auction house and see which engraving was expensive thus more valuable to get first. Your account is given one time quest which will give you 5 class engraving book and 20 combat engraving of your choice. And I just used that free books into the ether drop which is only valued as 1 gold in the market!
Appreciate the video dude. I've been spamming G through pretty much everything since the dialogue and story (in the beginning at least; level 39 atm) is god awful. Had no clue you could double equip Engravings lol
Still confused over Imprints. Are these the only engravings that are in effect for the character? Or does all engravings work for you character? What effect does Imprints do on your character?
I have the same question. Like for example if I have grudge x6 unlocked on my dps, but now play my paladin will grudge be activated on my paladin too in the engravings window?
(Correction?) In abyssal dungeons you're able to get class engravings for other classes you're not playing. I got Gunslinger and Deadeye engravings on my Gunlancer.
Maybe i heard you wrong on not getting other class engravings but yesterday I did get a demon blade engraving on my paladin as a reward from my first abyssal dungeon.
Yeah when we were in the PTR and RU clients, this wasn't the case. This was possibly part of the KR quality of life changes that are present in our version, so that was our mistake. We had both gotten our class engravings a few times now, but just today I got one for another class myself. Will pin a comment about this.
bro i just saw this after opening them all last night and i chose one of each book i cant wait to have to grind gold to buy them now although i only just reached the first chaos dungeons
I have a theory but im not 100% its right or haven’t tested it much yet. I play gunslinger & i’ve been using The engraving Ether Predator. It basically says that at level 3 you get 0.5 attack & defense boost buff that stacks up to 30 times so if you do the math thats 15% boost to both stats if you can manage to get all 30 stacks of it (during abyssal dungeons when you manage to stay alive) The buff stays on and resets actually last a really long time like over a minute and it stays on as long as you keep attacking the boss to get the stacks for it and it goes away only if you die. I was thinking it was a slept on choice for engraving because its not as risky to use as the Grudging engraving because you dont take that 20% incoming damage at high ilvls for later on. I would like to know yall thoughts on this
Great Videos, I was so confused in regards to Engravings, most of the questions were answered in the vid. Thanks a bunch! Now, you mentioned you have a Guild in-game, how does one join your guild? Please advise, tried typing in Legacy Gaming in search, nothing comes up in the NA West Mari server.
How does explosive expert work? I read it as the ability to use two or more slots, in the combat/support slots, for grenades, but that is not the case.
If the progress for engravings is saved across all my characters on a server, why should I not just learn all the books I receive since they will all contribute to the same pool accessible by all my alts?
When you're going to take on the Faceting RNG, try the following practice: First, identify the stat you're most interested in - I'll refer to this as your "Favored Stat", and the other will be your "Backup Stat". Then prioritize the probability as follows: Odds > 60%: Click Favored Stat Odds < 60%: Click Backup Stat Odds < 45%: Click Malus While we're always subject to a % chance of failure, this will /gEnEraLLy/ optimize our chances of success and minimize our risk.
7:00 I'm now confused. Where does investment banking come into this? So, the engraving underperforms the investment target, and now must pay me? In what currency?
Guys 1 question about engraving stones ( dunno if he said it in the video), can the engraving stones have Class engravings? Like reflux and ignite for sorc for example? Or only the neutral engravings?
Obviously you only have two engravings equipped at once + a stone. But if you read loads of the engraving books and have points on other engravings are they active as well? Or are the two you have equipped the only ones that are ‘active’
You only can have two passives equipped on any character. That being said, the combat engravings are roster wide, so alts can take advantage of ones you've already learned.
Can someone explain me, why in this video jewlery is mentioned not to destroy it, "because it can be god item for alts" , since items I get from dungeons and runs CANT BE TRANSFERED to roaster inventory????
Ok so, correct me if I'm wrong but are stone of birth sole existance is to complement the imprints? If one of my engraving (for the imprint) is missing 4 or 5 engraving points to complete a level, you can use the stones to get that level for your imprints?
The video is well done and well edited though I gotta say the explanation is not crystal clear. I would have preferred a more "straight to the point" explanation: Engravings are passive "talents" points obtained via either imprints, gems, or jewels. That would have laid a more solid ground to understand the entire topic in my opinion.
There are trade skills, runes, engravings etc and you can't use them from the beginning. It would be great when talking about them to include how you enable all this stuff.
so how can we figure out what is the best ability stone traits for us? every class guide ive watched for demonic impulse, it doesnt mention the ability stones at all but rather just the engravings
"Even if you get a book you might not need on your main character, don't hastily learn it or throw it away" "Keep in mind every engraving that you unlock is shared across your entire account on that server so think carefully about which of your characters main or alt will benefit from an unlock" I'm not sure I understand these two. First makes it seem like don't just learn books to fill up engravings, second seems to say that your alts will have access to them too? Anyone have an explanation as to how the sharing works (or doesn't)? I'm assuming Combat tab here, not the Class one.
Can we jsut be sincere and accept this system SUCKS? Yeah, I'm as adicted as the next guy, this game is amazing, but this is INFURIATING. Needlessly complicated to hide atrocious randomization.
