  1. Sorry, I might have missed it. If I transfer my blue T1 gear to epic, will this remain in T2? (the epic status I mean) or do we get completely new itemset from the T2 chaos dungeon?

  2. Great explainer! Nice tide bit about the extra loot on the table, I accidentally dismantled my 302 gloves so to have a olace to check if i actually got them to rebuy is nice. Thanks!

  4. thanks for info. do you have any idea whatsover about when the new classes come out (ie:lancemaster)?? will a vern pass work one of those newer ones? do you think holding onto a vern pass to use on one of them is worth it? or should i just make a 3rd alt now and have the 3 characters pumpin together and just knowledge transfer those newer ones?

  5. Can you go back to the Abyss Dungeon and get the bonus loot or whatever? I remember clicking the button on the right, but don't recall having to purchase anything.

    Maybe just clicking that button is buying it?

  6. Once you hit 600 you can just jump right to 802 from buying a whole set of gear off the Auction House for hardly any gold, then if you had been doing islands and have T2 mats youll be 1k gearscore in like 5 mins.

  7. Making it easy for people to screw up is terrible game design. I've seen way too many videos like these warning people not to do certain things or to do them in certain way. Is it clickbait or is the game really that badly designed? A bit of both I suspect.

  8. This game is so massive and there’s so many systems im still so confused. Thank you so much for the clear and concise video. Earned a sub! Excited for more incredibly useful content. Thank you thank you!

  9. One (dumb) question, but when I get drops of new gear then I always compare it to what I am wearing. But is that misleading then because I have honing on my gear that I wear, and not on the other. So how do I know what stats the new gear would get with the honing transferred before doing it? (since transfer also destroys the other gear).

  10. Thanks for the info. Lost Ark is really confusing at times. More confusing than WoW. I stopped playing console and WoW. I have put in a lot of time in this game since NA release. All the materials and currency can be confusing. I can see a lot of NA players not liking the style of this mmo. But I really love it. The fighting and team work isn’t too complicated like WoW but good enough to keep your attn and enjoy the game. And the fact that you don’t need a healer in raids/dungeons (though very wanted and makes the raids easier), is something I really like in the game. Bards are squishy af, but I’m a bard and you just have reposition constantly, as were Paladin can handle being hit and better for ‘intro to support’. Bard is more advanced in that you have time things and reposition a lot. Also, they have the lowest mobility, which is a drag at times.

  11. I got into Lost Ark because it was an MMO that I could play Solo, was addicted until I hit Abyssal Dungeons and discovered that you were forced to play with 3 Randoms to keep progressing. As a person who hates public matchmaking in every game, it was absolutely daunting to be forced to interact with others. I sucked it up and went into an Abyssal Dungeon with 3 Randoms and it went exactly how I imagined. Complaining, 20 Deaths in a row from people not understanding mechanics and just overall boring playing with people you don't know, I never got to complete the dungeon the 3 times I tried with different people, it was one of the worst experiences I had in this game. Being Hard Locked out of content because you are forced to play with horrible human beings is the worst in any game. Unless you have 3 friends that magically just love Lost Ark and spend the time to get to the Abyssal Dungeons, then this game is for you but if you don't want to play with people then you can continue playing Lost Ark Solo with Gear lower than everyone else's and spend 10x more time getting leveled. Luckily, Abyssal Dungeons can only be done once a week so you only have to subject yourself to torture once a week, hopefully you can beat the Dungeon with Experienced and rational players and continue playing the game.

  12. I mildly hate myself for not finding this guide sooner. I just started the process of gear upgrading today and I didnt know about transferring honing levels to new gear so once I got my purple chaos dungeon set i just upgraded it separately and trashed the old blue gear i got from Shushire that i had at +5
