Imagine some "crazy" guy upload a video saying Smilegate want you at 1620 a not past it and few hours later literally developer have conference introducing new soft reset starting from 1620 gear. That would be crazy, right? Right?
I've been following Evolved for a year, because of his advice I have 7 1620 characters to bring into T4 and start farming those mats, with minimum gem value lost, and a juice main ready for all content
Hey there! I was planning on waiting to push the rest of my 1520s and 1540s to 1580 once honing nerfs come out in a month. Do you think its worth waiting? I have like 8 more characters I wanna push to ultimately 1620.
Came across this video after watching a LOAON general wrap up, just wanted to say that I'm glad I did.. thanks for the laughs, as well as the food for thought. Felt like I wanted to clip it at so many points to share with the friendo's (just ended up clipping once and then shared the whole vid though lol) We all have our mains parked at 1620 and alt 5 around 1580-1610 but have played the game doing way less in the last 3 weeks than the whole time that it's been out for us here in the west and have been enjoying the chill-ness of it... Anyways, I'm convinced and here's a sub for the laughs and great video o/
I actually was super cheap with my soul eaters 1620>1630 I think my average was around 20-30%, since I free tapped my weapon to 1630 and hit 1635 at 30%, then every other piece besides 2 armor was sub 40% with 3 being less than 3 taps. I'm just super behind on my 1620's now since I really didn't want to do more elixers, so I'm just at the point of getting my characters honed up. Really hoping to push at least 1620's by t4 but that might be rough. Video was super helpful for me with figuring out where to head!
can i get a roster review i have my 6 chars at 1600 just waiting for honinh buffs and all that cause if u push 1 then the rest get fucked, my leaps are ass xdd ima casual btw.
Good video, though I have to disagree with the idea that it's wrong to push main only and leave alts or to hone past 1630. I think that's really a matter of perspective. My motivation, enjoyment of the game, isn't to make the most gold. It's to have giga juiced main characters to dick down the haters. And yes, having a lot of gold is certainly instrumental to that process. However there's a time aspect to this as well. From an efficiency standpoint, you should always have a full roster of alts at the bare minimum, because all systems will eventually get a 'shrinkage' so that new players can catch up. The longer you wait with main pushing, the less time you have with your main pushed before people catch up through system discounts. Every investment is temporary.
I like this but that's not a good arguement against logic. "We all have different motiivations" does not all of a sudden make something less efficient. I liked this but I believe it's copium and only because I've been doing these types of videos since day 1 lost ark west and I have analyzed their systems again and again. Alts can save you time and produce more resources. Based on the Loa on now there is no world were pushing to 1630 was a win especially if you did not even clear or don't clear weekly thaemine hm. I hope you sub and watch some of my other stuff, also thank you for the comment, although again using opinion or "subjectiveness" to argue logic and math doesent work for me because the logical undertones im using in my ideologies stand true regardless of perspective. Also it's not about more Gold it's about gold management. No judgement and you'll have to push 1630 eventually anyhow you just had like 6 months to a yr to do it is all
Not sure how you get to 300k a week. the Math is not Mathing. I run all 18 raids a week (highest raids each char can do as well), dailies, etc, 1 1620+ 1 1610, 4 1590+. I don't get 300k a week. Also....Elixirs on main ended up costing me 600k.
so i do think 600k is extreme but possible and im sorry, but again trying to do best i can with ball park math for everyone and everyone going to have different experience toa a degree. as for the income i have 2 or 3 sources pulled up throughout the video and i actually chose the income in the middle. again all debatable and we can always find the scale that is most accurate
Exactly my thought as well ," elxir and transcendence are best and braclets are the worst" , just look around , how many people have top elxir (40) ? Almost everyone and their alt lol , how many have top braclet ? (Top stats +Legendary Wedge/hammer etc) just whales !!
@@evolvedmentality229 it did, thx :D Since you're offering I have a question:; I have 2 dps at 1610 with a ton of bound mats and Im not sure what to do with them. Like I enjoy them as dps, but I enjoy playing support 10x more. I know that at some point these 2 are gonna get swapped out of my main 6, not with the next express tho since I have a 1590 that needs to get switched out before that, butat some point I know they'll be gone. So I was wondering, should I still get them to 1620 and then into T4 until we get 2 more express passes? Considering I would have to invest into elixirs, transcendance and all that jazz on them too (I already hate how much they're getting gatekept at 1610 with full lvl 9s) and even probably buy dps books that I know are gonna be wasted at some point.
@samuelst-gelais5822 so personally I don't think Trans elixers matter. Without disclosing my personal goals, what's stopping you from selling all gems "extreme to make point", but selling all gems and accessories, etc, to get all 1620s, t4 is chaos based at start and the value will be insane. You could literally have nothing on the dps at t4 and still have them geared in a month or 2 with the new system. You could then take the char with lvl 2 or3 or 4 t4 gems, and do content lower lvl than 1620 1630 1640, no one will deny you in normal thaemine as a 1640 with t4 gems. My 2 cents
I will describe my experience with honing and gatekeeping. I'm at roster lvl 255 LoS so no gatekeeping cause of that part. EUC - 1620 Pally - I spearhead all content with my it, cause it reduces requirement to enter prog parties - all 3 40-sets done (using only Lumi tho) basically for free with potent elixirs and even some and filling with random 5-4 pieces. 1 lvl 10 gem, 2 lvl 9 gem. 5x3+1 with good stats - no gatekeeping at all obviously - sitting at 1620 and have mats for next piece of honing - 1620 Pistoleer and 1620 Taijutsu - pushed to 1620 recently, both farmed their 35 sets with Epic, Tai quickly filled 40-set, but DE is yet to be done. 5 lvl 9 gems across the board and express fills the rest. 5x3+1 with good stats, 3 main dmg items transcended to 5* set effect. - As for gatekeeping Akkan HM easy entry, Thae NM easy homework to 1620 reclear lobbies, but at 1610 35-set made it easier. Voldis HM is more tricky, cause standard for entry is unfortunately 40-set even you technically is able to pull your own weight with some transcendecne and elixir boost. My strategy of entry without 40-set on Deadeye, which is total ZDPS is applying to lobbies lead by crit-starved "main character syndrome" dps classes like Igniter or Surge with 1630+ so they can see their 48% cruel fighter and be proud about it while I finish my raid 😂 - next in the line is another 1610 with 5 gems, 35-set, easy entries to all raids. - 2 next chars sitting at 1600 - accumulating their mats and gems to get pushed to next stage with express or not. Pally that can enter with 7 gems (I can even move some from main pally but dont even have to bother); dps with 1 lvl 9 in main dmg skill and express gems. All easy entries to current raids. General notes: - don't underestimate value of epic elixirs. Between 1600 and 1620 it takes few months, so there is plently of time to try to roll good set lines at least and with some degree of luck even for some 4-3s and 4-4s that can build 35 set at some point. - use lege potent elixirs wisely and aim for resets until you get one of most desired lines (usually set) or 3-4 in one to aim for 5-4 BiS. - utilise epic elixirs to roll set lines even if at 1620 and having access to lege elixirs. With how cheap they are you can fill some 4-2 or higher pieces of the set while using lege to fish for 5-4 and 5-5 fillers. - People underestimate most insane, roster wide "express event" we currently have going, which is extra boxes at endgame raids. It speed up progress of whole roster hugely, cause those mats ammounts are crazy. But problem it highlights even more is farm rate of gems. According to loot tables there is minimal difference in drop of gems from chaos between 1540 and even 1610 stage. Cubes tickets from guild shops are not cost effective when it comes to gem farm rate also. So we are at accelerated timeline when it come to honing, but gems are throttled so natural progression of gem setups is disrupted. - Voldis HM is biggest chokepoint currently, cause it's expected for you to have 40-set, but there is no way of collecting it before you get there, so first weeks of entering 1620 stage before completing 40-set is painful. - While Elixirs and Transcendence are great dmg boosts, minigames are trash. RNG layered on top of RNG. Ability stones on steroids. LOAON will bring some clarity how SG want to nerf it, but only cutting costs will change nothing if you are cucked by rng on elixirs and desired lines dont show up. And as mentioned before 1620 without 40-set is limbo you want to break free from asap

yes right now since we know what were getting 100% almost, its better to wait.
It’s most likely gonna be essentially free for a chapter with a juicer event soon
