50 is the softcap, you can still "level" but all you get are passive points

Yeah they went down when the game went live... or should have gone live. They did say there would be Newbie Packs in the store to replace the Founders Packs but they haven't spilled any details yet.

Hows the spread of supports looking like from the head start run?

I kinda want to play Paladin but if it's saturated, a pure dps sounds better.

I'd honestly use your DPS to level and then use the powerpass thing to instantly level your support to 50. You really don't need much survivability when leveling since you just gib everything on screen as a decent dps class

Supports get support-ier later on as they level, so you should be able to level a-okay as a pally. That said, if you want to be a lady pally you'll have to wait until they get patched in because this game has some weird gender issues

Sorry, I worded that badly.

Are supports in demand in the endgame or are a lot of people rolling bards/Paladins? I do like playing healers/supports but if they're saturated I'd rather just be a dps.

You can't roll on Una today if you don't already have a character there. Supposedly Vykas is where f2p east coast goons are gonna roll but idk for sure.

If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!
So some questions about Lost Ark -
1 - Are names unique to characters (like most MMOs) or unique to accounts (like Destiny)?
2 - Are names one word like WoW or name/surname like FFXIV?
3 - The game seems pretty alt friendly but are alts required? Am I going to have a bad time if I just want to play one class?
4 - Bard seems like the biggest weapon you can put on a lady?

Sorc feels like cheating leveling compared to some of the melee classes. All abilities are wide aoes. Some of the widest hitting one are also the hardest hitting ones in general so you use them to chunk bosses. No resource management while leveling, just cast whatever you want thats out of cooldown

Scrapper early leveling in comparison is painful.

Playing Sorceress first spoiled me, tried messing with other classes in the trial area but no one else really clicked quite as well.

I'm mostly using matchmaking to join PUGs for stuff like chaos dungeons and guardian raids and the matchmaking doesn't differentiate between classes it seems. I've been in guardian raids where you really want a support and you don't get one and in chaos dungeons where I zone in and its 'oops, all paladins'. I couldn't really tell you right now how it'll shake out when people start building out goon groups to tackle stuff like Abyss dungeons when more people are at that stage.

The split between paladin/bard seems about even right now though

Ugh their name rules are the worst.
1) unique to characters and I think its across the whole region not just the server.
2) one word, 16(?) characters, no spaces, no capitalizations, nothing fancy
3) alts aren't required but they help to funnel stuff to your main. The idea is you play 2 alts every couple of days and get 2.5 characters worth of progress instead of 1 (one char only) or 3 (going ham on all 3 daily). You get 2 free 50 boosts immediately just for making it through with one character, then you can further use some boost system to level up another alt for every 2 characters you level up manually. I heard that in Korea and Russia they tend to hand out or sell boosts when the new classe are released also.
4) shadowhunter has big weapons too, and lance master will have a big spear when she comes out.

There is an announcement advising that you should hold off for a few days or a week to see if they will lift or announce to life the restrictions so that you might be able to join Una later. (Though they also say if you want to play right now, just play).

Personally, with the influx of f2p population, I doubt any sort of announcement is going to occur within a week.

i’ve also followed the Saintone sorc guide but i hate youtube videos, so here is a text explanation: https://lost-ark.maxroll.gg/build-guides/sorceress-leveling-guide

i used this to hit 50 very quickly, and had a loving BLAST doing it (lol)

after 50, there are more guides to follow in the links. also, keep in mind that the names of spells and stuff are a little different, but the icons are the same in game. that threw me off a bit when i was reading this stuff but you get used to the differences if you just follow the icons.


also, i’m using the soulfist one from the maxroll site, and it’s also really good and clear to follow.

Thank you for this, much more pleasant for my aging brain to process.

Una is locked, so F2P people will have to roll elsewhere for now.

I’ve heard Ladon, I’ve heard Vykas, nobody has really stepped up and taken the reins. I’m personally just going to roll on whatever and F2P for a while. If Una opens back up I’ll probably start over there assuming it I haven’t invested TOO much on whatever server I start on.

Out of curiosity, is there any way to level alts that isn't "use a power pass" or "do the story again?"

Sort of answered already but

$$$ = Power pass, get 2 free but the cash ones arent in the shop yet, also quickest way to level up as its instant
Gold = Knowledge Transfer in your stronghold. unlocks at like level 5 strong hold. Costs 600 gold to level up to 50, takes 8 hours, it can also level up beyond shushire gear level for more gold
Free = Training menu in your stronghold. Must reach level 52 for it to unlock, is totally free but also takes the longest. Can be leveled up to -2 levels of your highest level character. So level 52 can level someone up to 50, level 60 up to 58.

Apparently people said if you're on west you can play with other west people but can't be in the same guild? Which kinda sucks because I have some friend groups that don't voice at all just chat in game. I'm laughing at myself big time for trying to get in early on a popular server so I don't get the crappy empty new world experience I just had and by doing that screwed myself even more :laugh: I deserve this

I bet they did this to get more twitter followers.. 130k yesterday, 245k today

Engravings kinda remind me of the way Monster Hunter armor skills used to work pre-World, where your equipment can give you a certain number of points towards a skill, and you need a certain number of points to "activate" the skill (and more points can activate higher ranks of the skill).

Though it looks like it also has that classic KMMO thing where you're going to sink a bunch of resources into upgrading a thing with failure chances that make you waste resources and bad rolls can ruin expensive pieces of equipment.
