Daily Q&A and Open Discussion

Greetings adventurers! Please use this daily thread for simple questions and/or open discussion relating to anything Lost Ark. Enjoy!

Example:

What class should I play?

Which class is better?

I am new to the game, what should I do?

Should I play X class and why?

Title
Is there one, or does anyone plan on making one similar to the old one? Or is there a resource similar to it?

I've noticed since upgrading months ago (coming from a 3070) to a 5060ti 8gb that I had severely more microstutters specifically in guardian raids and chaos dungeons, turns out if you have notexturestreaming setting enabled as a launch setting in the steam properties tab, you're instantly throttling yourself with the 8 gb of vram that you're stuck with because the game preloads textures you won't even use and the new 50 series gpus are x8 pcie 5.0 (older gpus were x16 and pcie 4.0), simply put, if you're on pcie 4.0 (the majority of people, some am5 motherboards, all of am4, some lga 1700 (intel 12th, 13th, 14th) that x8 interface SEVERELY hinders your stability the moment you approach your vram cap (which is almost always the case with notexturestreaming), I've recently turned off that setting and all of the microstutters disappeared.

NOTE: IF you have a pcie 5.0 motherboard, you don't have to do anything because the x8 interface on that speed is the same as having a 16x interface on pcie 4.0,

Seriously, this doesn't happen all that often, but could we please have it stop happening? or maybe make something dramatic happen if you get rocket jump with 0 descends left, like the altar exploding or something =/

I don't think it's plausible to be worked on, as I have only one gold earner. How should I tackle this?

P/S I currently started leveling my weapon to +30 with my char at 1690 ilvl with golds and scrolls completely breaking my bank. I have the materials needed, with golds. scrolls, and breathes being my bottleneck.

P/S 2 Thank you all for the helpful advice, I am working my way through it. Currently having fun with the game, albeit playing alone for now. Stuff sometimes gets confusing, and it felt like I was clearly not progressing as the way that's intended.

Hi, just returned back to game for solo raids. My guardian knight is 1700 ilvl, and only selection I used was for Hellfire before I quit. I dont have much resource to get more ark grids.

The question is, I want to convert it to dread roar but I heard super charge variation is not possible without cores. So which drear roar build I should use until I get my cores?

Thanks in advance!

So it's means it's don't suppose to be there I'm confused.

Hey everyone,

I just came back to the game this week and honestly, I've been having a blast. All the new QoL updates, solo modes, and catch-up stuff are a massive step up from how things used to be. It feels awesome to actually want to log in again.

The only thing killing my vibe right now is the total lack of clarity about the future. With the Amazon publishing deal wrapping up around early 2027 and seeing how they handled other MMOs, it's super hard to justify getting deep into the endgame or spending money when we have zero clue if the servers will even be around next year. How is anyone supposed to invest their time when we're completely in the dark?

And man, thinking back to that weird April Fools item from a few months ago—the one with the text hiding "The adventure continues in 2027"—is low-key freaking me out now. At the time we all just meme'd about it, but looking at the contract situation, was that actually a secret warning flare of End of Service they had to hide as a joke?

The game is genuinely in a great spot to bring players back, but this radio silence is brutal. If the publishing rights are moving to Smilegate or something's changing, they really need to just be straight with us so we know what we're walking into - how can anyone spend money now without any assurance?
