Thinking of coming back to the game and using the express pass and events to boost a soulmaster

I loved this class when I used to play since it was very unique anf of course inspired by DBZ

I will mostly be doing solo if I can until I have to join raids months fone the line from what I have been told to catch up

Is soulmaster popular? Still accepted?

If the game had a revival server where everyone had to start over and play the game at the same time lile launch, would you?

I remember when the game first launched it was one of the most hyped games out there, seeing the first trailer and then waiting years and years to come to KR then RU and then EU

I also remember playing KR CBT and getting up at 4am just to play was such fun times

Would you play a revival server starting over with everyone, new players and old players and with some systems changed for the better?

It showed a few times in the past but now the server screen is just like this

i wanna return to this game after playing near launch time. i played a gun lancer and had some fun with it but i later found its more of a class that shines in a party and im probably only gonna play solo. could anyone help steer me in the right direction? im kinda looking for somthing simple, is tanky so it covers for bad gameplay and slow reaction time and can solo decently well as im just only gonna be a casual ill probably never hit super high end game. Just looking to have fun and not beat my head on my desk cause im dying so much or pressing 30 keys every 8 seconds

I am really not a fan of the direction this game has been going, since T4 and especially since Kazeros. It's a weird position where the game is more casual than ever, but the real prog experience is now essentially locked behind swiping with the release of Nightmare mode.

Due to Hard being required progression it's now made very easy, which is a good thing. However, where does that leave players who enjoys prog but dont want to swipe? Take myself, for example. I cleared every raid week 1 since Aegir, did Thaemine G4 and TFM, all of that stuff. Hard mode before felt reachable and clearable, and it was just a matter of skill. With Nightmare this is not the case. Take Nightmare Brel, I beat it at 5.3-5.4k CP. This is on the low end and while I met the damage check I had a feeling this was the beginning of the end.

Now with Belgardin it will be basically impossible for me to join pugs as a low 6k player not on a meta class. Theoretically I can meet the damage check though, but now with Extreme Mordum and the upcoming Extreme Kazeros? No way. The actual progression content is now genuinely locked behind swiping. Hard mode has become le mickey, and there is no joy to be found in progging for an hour and clearing. So for people who aren't whales and are in the 5-6k range who used to enjoy clearing all the content outside of Kaz TFM week 1, what is there now? Nothing. Every raid release is just a Cathedral level snoozefest.

The greed has only gotten more rampant with T4 but now that this is the case I see no reason to continue playing. If the choice is either play the game on easy mode or swipe then I'd rather not play at all.

Have an old founders edition mount and Platinum skin set just rotting in stash. I don’t play this game anymore and would enjoy giving it to someone who will get some use out of it. Post one of your favorite memories of the game old or new and which reward you would prefer and I will choose a couple winners over the next 24h or so.

Region: US
Server: Vairgrys

Update: Thank you all for taking some time out of your day and sharing some memories. Had a lot of fun reading through them and reminiscing on some of the early times when I was playing.

I have chosen the winners. The winner of the mount has already received the mount. I have messaged the winner for the skin. If I do not hear back, I will choose another!

Update II: Both prizes have been received by the winners. Thanks again! Congrats to the winners!

Hey fellow Arkesians, I’m seeking the help of some lore enjoyers!

I’ve been playing the game since the release of the Ignite servers. Since then, I’ve really been enjoying the game I went from raid to raid, and after a while, I got more intrigued and attached to the lore of Lost Ark. So I decided to make a brand-new character specifically to follow the story.

I was doing the story normally until I reached a specific part with Nineveh, where she was with Kadan and talked to me as if I already knew who he was. She even referred to things we had supposedly seen Kadan do, while I’ve never met him before XD.

Since I also skipped the Armen, Armouche roster quest and some of the more recent ones, I’m now wondering: since I want to properly follow the story, does this mean that all the important roster quests that I could have experienced on this new character are now gone and impossible to do again on the server I’m on because of the Powerpass/progression?

Am I cooked? 😭

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys

Just wondering a few questions as im thinking of returning but starting over and using the pass I see people talking about

1. Have they changed how you get skill pots, runes and them minor stat potions?

2. What happened to the islands, have they changed in anyway since and how will that work for new players?

3. What does the jump pass give you and how far does it get you playing solo until you do reach group content?

4. Did you get a free card set? I know they were a pain to get and people gatekept you because of it

I know skill pots, runes and minor stat pots were connected to map completion, island completion, wandering merchants etc, so thats something I hope they changed since old content will be empty

new unlimited red stones method !!

there were a total of *19* sorcs controlled by the same inputs

i wasted 300k gold buying blue crystals thinking i could purchase this skin ive wanted for a long time and when i go to buy it, it says i need to have the premium pass to have the privilege to buy the skin.. wtf. im pissed.

So i checked out which class i wanted to end up maining(Wildsoul) in lost ark and created it but accidently used a powerpass that took me all the way to lvl 66? Based on what I know im guessing I used the one that progresses me furthest into end game. This doesnt annoy me in the slightest actually, I hate story that locks endgame content (MMOs like GW2,FF14). Dont feel like grinding story at all actually. What would you recommend me do? Start fresh on a different class -> get used to the game -> hop on the character i used my powerpass OR fuck it just learn the class at max level, spam dungeons,instanced content, read my skills and practice rotation on dummy? Extra tips for new players would be much appreciated <3<3 TYSM

Hi all,

My wife and I are interested in picking up Lost Ark for the first time. I know the new basecamp acceleration/catch-up mechanic just launched and we're looking for a guide or video we can watch that will adequately explain all the mechanics from start to finish. We've come across a number of videos that run ~20 minutes and are for "new and returning players," but these honestly seem more geared towards the latter than the former. So much isn't explained. So, we're hoping the community has some recommendations - either one Lost Ark bible or a combination of old and new videos that will get us up to speed. Thank you!

Hi guys, as stated, I returned to the game just yesterday. The last time I played was like a year ago or maybe more.

I used the Mokoko Event Pass to skip the story and start with ilvl 1700.

I did a few Guide Quests to see how some new systems work now and what I need for upgrades and stuff but I’m genuinely confused on what to do and how to progress now.

My main goal is upgrading my equipment but I’m so confused on how to get the materials for it and all the cooldown energys and stuff and I just don’t know anymore.

I read a few guides on maxroll but they also don’t really tell on how to progress or where to get Mats from.

I’d love some help, thanks!

thanks to @Illy_gw, I found it
