It took me a while to get there but around lvl 40 and I'm having a very good time as bard. Dissonance and Stigma should be your primary aoe damage dealers and you'll eventually get to max out Soundholic with the focus fire upgrade and it does a ton of damage to bosses as a back shot, with the tradeoff being you can't move while it's firing anymore. Gives you some much needed single target damage for bosses. It's neat putting down a couple aoes and using the push skill to push groups of enemies back into the aoe and making them walk through it again. I'm using this guide for some help with what to focus on and it's helped a lot.

Is there a way to get the previous Twitch drops? If I look at the Twitch Drop page from my account, it shows that the Paper Hat is still there but it doesn't list any streamers and it seems all streamers are currently dropping Helgaia Pet and Saphia Pet (I got both of these last night and this morning).

twitch shows "LoLA Arkesia Paper Hat Chest Tue, Feb 8, 11:00 AM - Tue, Mar 1, 3:00 AM EST" https://www.twitch.tv/drops/campaigns

So just keep at it, it'll even get to the other stuff beyond the pets I guess, that's what I'm doing right now with that twitch drop miner someone linked earlier.

Yeah but it seems the streamer decides what they'll actually drop and everyone is saying T3 which seems to be the 2 pets and the starter item(T1?) set and paper hat(T2?) are in the past and it's too late it seems.

god drat you guys werent kidding when you said that sorceress at low levels feels like cheating.

Definitely feeling this. Shooting out giant elemental waves makes it feel almost effortless mowing through enemies. I just unlocked the big charged up thunderstrike spell, and that feels a bit clunky, though.

The Shortest Path posted:

Sorceress feels really weird to me, idk if other classes work like this or if it's just her but several of her skills do practically nothing while others one-shot entire waves of enemies. Tried them all at max skill level too, this isn't just a level scaling thing.

It's not really a problem I guess because she has plenty of the skills that do huge damage (and they're very satisfying to use) it's just weird that several of the abilities are borderline useless.

In my experience, some of the skills definitely feel weaker than others, but I can still use them while the strong skills are on cooldown. I haven't looked at the skill customization trees much yet, but I'm guessing the weak spells might be useful for placing debuffs or something later on.

EDIT: Also, it looks like many skills have an option to change element. Maybe there will be reason to specialize in particular types of damage.

Anyone looking for drops, looks like this twitch drop miner is working now, however you do need to download source as executable isn't updated yet.

Anyone have instructions how to do this? I'm guessing I need to build the source myself, but it seems more complicated the just running build.bat? (Which seems to suggest I need a pyinstaller or something?)

e: Never mind, I kind of figured it out, it only required falling down a hole of installing python and a bunch of dependency libraries lol

There's an unreleased 3rd mage class that doesn't look heavily elemental. It's all about throwing magic cards or some poo poo. Looks pretty neat. Just wish it were available in dude.

Is there any info out there on the classes that aren't in yet and when they'll be available?

What is this kid's DEAL?!

I'm playing on the first west america server on the list... I think it was called Akan or something. I got out of the tutorial and into the first town two days ago, yesterday I finally claimed my silver pack and played far enough to do a little demon defense mission. It's been fun, but definitely the kinda game I play with a podcast on. There's been a few times I tried exploring, only to find nothing interesting at the end of a dead end because I was supposed to go there for an instanced quest.

That's a bit discouraging, but I do enjoy the scavenger hunt for the little leaf sprout thing. One of them was hidden in a delightfully devious way where you needed to inspect a bit of light, realize it was a hidden jump point, and then poke around in a hidden-perspective nook of ruins to trigger an interact prompt. Also definitely was cool finding a lizard sunning itself by a river, then zooming in to find super detailed scales. It practically looked like the real thing!

The story is sketchy enough to be funny, I laughed out load at several dramatic moments involving our two priest buddies. Definitely looking forward to this big castle dungeon that's coming up.

Apparently Mari is the server if I want to coop with other west USA goons sometime. I'm probably going to let a friend try Lost Ark on my account with a fresh character there. Are there any non-sorceress classes that are particularly good at mowing through the campaign solo? I have heard that berserker is one, any other solid picks?

Lv. 1 (Nodes 5): When "!!!!!" is outputted in normal chat, Sight Focus is activated for 6s. Once after the effect is activated, the used offensive skill's damage +8%. Only half of the effect is applied to Awakening Skills. Does not apply to Basic Attack. Cooldown: 30s.

If you have python and pip installed, you just need to run pip install -r requirements.txt

And then python main.py

I think you're supposed run the .bat to build an exe? But I didn't realized the requirements was there for easy dependency install and just kept building the batch and pip installing the thing that would report missing lol.

Daily/Weekly Una's Tasks. Daily Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids. Weekly Abyss Dungeons. All of that stuff rewards roster-bound materials.

Remember that you can accumulate rested bonuses to do those things efficiently without actually having to do them every single day.

Once you finish ice world you'll get a full set of 302. That's when the honing starts.

I don't think you even can hone sub-302 gear.
