Sorry for the super scuffed paint graphic just wanted to get this video out there after seeing someone get their Abyss gear and honing it up instead of transfering.
@@KillaTundant yea if you craft a peice of dungeon gear then dismantle it you get the same resources you put in I.E being able to sit there and roll for the perfect one
This "rambling" with the scribbles at the back is clearer then 90% of the useless guides out there. Straight to the point and goes through the nitty gritty details clearly! Thanks!
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!
Far as MMOs go Lost Ark makes it easy by putting all the things you need to do in one place. Wows systems are all over the world take varias NPCs and currencys. Ff14 from what i under stand is also pretty complex. ESO is easy end game only because there isn't an end game lol. Once you get the rhythm you'll catch on easy :) MMOs can be scary but lucky we have a big community to help people along
I wouldn't call it massive. It is just pointlessly convoluted. 100 different currencies, 100 different systems that all achieve the same thing, and wayyyy too many random things thrown in. I mean why tf are cards a thing? Why couldn't they just build out engraving more? Like bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey man I agree in some aspects of this game, but I come from playing BDO, and trust me this game makes it simple compared. I have 2k+ hours in BDO and still don’t understand some things
Thank you for explaining in more detail why we need to do what we're doing, rather than just telling us TO do it. Helps paint a roadmap better for the progression imo and it's always better to understand, rather than just copy pasting what others do. Great video, man!
This video needs to be on the front page of every newbies UA-cam feed cuz I've watched tons of gear videos and not one has mentioned most of these details lol
This was really helpful. I was wondering about the "gap" between the blue to purple and purple to legendary gear. The Gear Transfer and the "road map" tips really gave me a North.
Thank you so much Don for these Lost Ark explanatory videos. I don’t know what I would do without yours(and a couple others’) videos. I’m not a big fan of being yelled at either, so thank you for that too.
man im glad i found this channel where its not a hyperactive young guy in his 20s racing through the explanation as if we already know everything. thank you, fellow boomer
thank you a lot for the work you put into these videos. took advantage of a maintenance period to watch them all and I feel much more knowledgeable. let's hone! thanks again :)
i had no clue the abyss gear vendor existed, i got the set chestpiece twice from abys so i basically lvl'd from T1 to T2 in my blue chaos dungeon gear. It didnt actually matter but i didnt realize there was a vendor until i started gates of paradise. the T2 paladin abyss set looks awesome.
i didn’t either, so glad i took the time to search youtube to stumble on this. found out about purple/gold gear not long ago and felt like i really screwed up already.
@@tekkington Felt same until read about that Korean players had blue gear from the start and it was only option 😅 Thanks to them as we got way more polished and linear progression and experience of playing, yes i'm aware with eu central queue issues and massive amount of players and some random downtimes as i'm playing on eu central and in queue rn 😅 So far liked it and really loved that treasure map questline with it's easter eggs and dev notes and wip things. Made me feel more connected and hooked 😂
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!
Thank you so much, I wish I came across this earlier so I wouldn't have made the mistake of completely honing the vern abyssal gear and do nothing with my old chaos gear, this was really helpful tho and I will definitely make use of this while getting through tier 2
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
Awesome and informative video on progression of gear. You made a loaded and somewhat complex system easier to understand and helpful. I had to subscribe and look forward to more videos!
Good vid. I'm currently stuck at the 580-600 wall. These 40-50% honing chances are rough. All out of mats. Just saving up chaos and guardians. Can't wait for tier 2
Get's worse for t2, t1 shards are really the only bottleneck. T2 when you're like 1020+ going for 1k, you'll be down on leapstones, armor/weapo stones, shards, everything and on top there's an extra material called fusions. Now you get HEAPS of fusions for free with welcome rewards and one main quest but if you get unlucky you'll have to craft them and spend insane gold.
@@ArborusVitae Yep, been doing these for a few days ( most around Vern/Luterra region ), but like 70% I got is for Tier 2, now I've moved to Rohendel so it's pretty much guaranteed to get only T2 ones :D
Fantastic video dude!! Really does explain the mechanics it's well, I'm still leveling but its good to know that there's systems in place that mean upgrade progress is never lost during the gearing grind at end game 👌👍
Just got to Vern and unlock chaos and guardian raid n thx god I saw this video u had no idea how much I appreciate ur content and ecplaination, U EARN MY SUB
Thanks for shoving out content for us to watch while the servers are down Don. I knew all this already but it was a nice little informative video that kept my attention while waiting, so thank you bud. I know that comes off as backhanded but it wasn't meant to be. I appreciate you and your content bud.
I've been looking for this guide for 3 days now , thank you so much for this. I was so confused how ppl was running around with epic and legen armor while i was stuck with blue
I did not know that buying the abyssal end bonus loot gave you more honing mats, I never saw it when I looked through the loot I would get from the purchase
Excellent explanation. please explain other things. Many channels have guides for new LA players but I often don't understand them. I'll see if you have other vids and TY
I send him(my friends) many dont mistake video, but the only one, on this video are the best anwers that i receive " I allrdy make a mistake, that i play the game and he send me his playtime and it was allrdy over 300h" xD
I am in the "get your fresh 50 gear from chaos dungeons" so thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for and now I know exactly what to do after! This was a very clear guide for new players. THANK YOU! Edit: I did have a question about the gear sets- if you get it from the dungeon vs the quest line is it the same gear set or is one better than the other? I know gear changes rapidly but it's good knowledge for people planning steps ahead 😁 thanks again!
Hmm. You only get that ONE chest of gear once you finish the main quest line that leads you to shushire. And then after that once you do all the endgame stuff, you will craft your gear. So it really really doesn't matter, just get the gear from chaos, upgrade it as much as you can then do abyss and all the endgame stuff then craft your gear from the materials you get from endgame stuff. (Sword icon by the npc you hone gear with)
when you xfering your 600 gear into 802 blue gear from Yorn Chaos dungeon ( not 302),than you get +1. I think you mistypo in 6:25 here PS: great guides,love it,keep it up ! ;)
OMG. MY MAN!!! i completely screwed up. I got tier 1 set, lvl'd it up to +15 and then when i got tier 2 did the same thing and now lvl'd up my tier 3 to 1345 atm. i removed the previous set(s) and started over. hot damn did i screw up bad and wasted a lot of mats. Much appreciate the clarafication tho. LESSON LEARNED!
well luckily thats not that big of a loss, however at 1370 youll be able to make your '1340' legendary gear, make sure you transfer the +15 1370 piece onto this legendary to get you a +6 legendary 1370 I have another video about this =)
This helped alot, i didnt know about crafting from abyssal , and transferring . Maybe have the game up on your screen so you can show us locations and stuff. Thanks though
There is a lot of controversy about what's the best gearing process. This is one is really common but i also heard a lot of KR players saying just to upgrade chaos dungeon gear to +15 and then transfer. That is repeated until T3
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.
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.
I remember reading a guide somewhere that it talked about prioritizing upgrading which piece of your gear first for maximum DPS, such as in this order: weapon, gloves, etc. I only remember armor should be the last to be upgraded in term of maximizing your DPS output, but I don't remember everything after gloves. Does anyone know the priority of upgrading your gear?
weapon>gloves>shoulders>hat>legs>body you can check which pieces give the most main stat for next upgrade as a rubric, go the opposite way for most defense
Sorry for the super scuffed paint graphic just wanted to get this video out there after seeing someone get their Abyss gear and honing it up instead of transfering.
i legit ended an abyss dung and i destroyed the gear instead of transfering thanks for the vid ! ill go sleep less of a nooby than today !
would rather have paint graphics instead of no graphic to follow with
@@meza6958 pain
So you are saying if i craft purple or legendary* weapon when i dismantle it i will get back 100% resources?
@@KillaTundant yea if you craft a peice of dungeon gear then dismantle it you get the same resources you put in I.E being able to sit there and roll for the perfect one
