[@imtenten1010]

Amazing video series, clean and simple

[@moneyboyok]

This video didn't have enough Xiangling

[@hoshings]

xiangling solves all progression problems

[@lnlsun]

[@sjroxiii4778]

[@unknownguy6451]

Xiangling salesman is here OPPA

[@boinghot]

Short and CLEAN. That's exactly what i need right there. There's no beating around the bush, thanks man

[@HottSauce95]

This guy is actually the best lost ark content creator on KZbin. Short, to the point, and informative. Hope he gains more popularity

[@matheusalmeida6775]

i agree with you

[@Nostalgiaforinfi]

Nassem has good guardian guides. Both good.

[@deathxx8815]

Don't really comment on videos but your short, straight to the point and entertaining videos are really good. Thank you for all the help.

[@Sammysapphira]

This video is insanely useful and efficient. It's so good to get this info out there. Too many people think ilvl is all the damage

[@amouutv]

BEEN TELLIN U SINCE 3K ATK. WE LOVE U. thanks again for the juiced content brosive

[@Viruxs29]

ATK with a greeat video again :) straight to the point and no useless information. Much love Albert.

[@delacruz4050]

Best guide for progression out there! Thank you so much!

[@Presentiment0]

this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! I play Striker and am loosing hope now I know how far until I finally get a nice powerspike.

[@hnnngv]

This is why I subbed to you on both platforms. Quick and simple guides and great content on twitch 👍🏿😎

[@elnogal9298]

I wasn't going to subscribe to any Lost Ark channel at first but man your videos are straight and simple thus making them enjoyable, so here goes another sub for your channel :D

[@Darkshadow7827]

0:54 - "You will start to have more free time..." cut to motor boating Beatrice hahahah. Ah yes, this is what I do after dailies.

[@elykfps867]

Your content is so good dude and so short and simple. Thank you so much bro.

[@HayGurHayyy]

I love you, thank you so much for this my dude!!! This is what guides should be about! I rly wish you the best with your channel!

[@ritonar1877]

I'm saving this video to my playlist. Currently at tier 2, I'll watch the rest when I reach there. Thank you. You make me like the game even more

[@lucasbossan5151]

Im really happy to find this channel! Keep up with the outstanding work!

[@majdi1715]

So easy to understand and follow, thanks ATK!

[@chubs7897]

You've made so many great videos and your insight is always appreciated. I don't know if it would be worth the effort but you touch on it in several videos but never go into depth. That is the relative strength/tier of when certain classes come online. It would be very interesting to see classes shifting positions based on meeting certain thresholds. Could help prepare those wanting to look further into the future to invest in or give a better understanding of how powerful certain mechanics can be given scalability.

[@dropit8094]

Amazing content, this actually helped a lot. thank you man

[@kaykay-fj8xv]

thank you for the spreadsheet, helps alot. hopefully it will be updated for late game too.

[@niklasfiebinger6128]

dude you are genuinely amazing

[@thatfloridakid]

Clutch on the guide. Appreciate this video

[@scratchshinou4983]

seriously love your channel, keep doing amazing

[@avrixel7488]

0:55 “you will start to have more free time” Ok I should not have drank at that part XDD

[@adriel2422]

ATK two months ago: never ever use your powder of wisdom. Me now: heavy breathing

[@ordinarypeople801]

Very good! I like that video a lot and I like your style :) Just the right amount of humor ;). NOW, please explain how to achieve each of this?!? :D e.g. I never learnt how to farm a specific card set...

[@altun3200]

I find this indefinitely more hepful than most build guides, where they just show T3 characters

[@invalidmean]

Love the videos man.

[@galenbruner2440]

That is a lot of info in a short video thank you.

[@Darrow1908]

What can i say, the guy so clean that he doesn't have to wash his hands,

[@ahdiabygaming]

That "...or go play Elden Ring" had me cracking up lol nice

[@lnlsun]

Hidden OP chanel. Thanks ATK

[@vetman548]

Enjoyed this video. I just made 50 and it took me a long while since I took my time and did almost every side quest. I made 50 early in the story line and I'm not close to being in the area where you get the quest to do Chaos Dungeons yet and have not got my ultimate either. I don't care just taking my time and there is so much stuff to do. I'm just doing the story line for now and will do daily's when I am able. I was a WOW player forever. This is my new game for now and have not logged into WOW since Lost Ark came out.

[@Mikedr06]

Actually god tier guides!!

[@erikrasmussen7953]

Wow, that was simple. Thanks!

[@CatDaddy10]

This is a fantastic video, so helpful. I just started playing with my wife on Korean servers a couple weeks ago. Engravings are the hardest for us, so complicated. Any chance you have a video on engravings someplace that would explain how to progress the best way to get our engraving up. We are already hitting 1370 gear score, but our engravings are horrible.

[@scradles77]

"Or just go play elden ring" is literally the best advice in this video, thanks for that !

[@marceloamado6223]

Amazing video!

[@noot950]

you are my god

[@shuuji2001]

Very good video. so informative!!

[@ClarkSensei]

love how you casually said ilvl 1400, this is when demonic impulse shadowhunter "gets good", me over here at 1080 needing 3 full rotations to transform LMAO XD

[@kylee7427]

Great content

[@jamesshroogle6331]

I love you

[@Tnscla]

Great video!!

[@floofy1]

Heya ATK, will you make videos for First Intention Wardancer? For the "how does xxx play" and "end game gameplay showcase"

[@TheGonz03]

Deadeye pistoleer has the KR Buff in NA, would be interesting to look at. Requiring no positional

[@RJ-cb1di]

You will be famous someday

[@hookk3]

Enjoyed the video a lot. For Bard on the spread sheet you recc. 3 3 Desperate Salvation | Heavy Armor. Then the 3rd slot blank. Would you recommend slotting Awakening 1 in there until Awakening Lv 3 later in progression is possible?

[@fuguffuu]

Great video. Have my sub

[@MrtuhinK]

Thanks for this!! One Question - You advise selling the gems when reaching tier 3 at the start, but then mention we should aim for level 5 gems. Should we not use the gems to get the level 5 vs selling? Enjoying the content as always man!

[@NATK]

tier 2 gems are blue, tier 3 gems are orange, they're totally different gems, sorry for not being clear.

[@MrtuhinK]

@@NATK Ah gotcha Thanks!!!

[@silentreito9183]

Hey thanks for the guide , but may i ask if you will make a guide on sharpshooter?

[@NATK]

yes one day

[@jamelechorfi]

Hey man, thanks for your content. How would you rank things such as engravings, stats, tripods and gems to maximize our dps ?

[@herbv3449]

Insanely helpful channel. Thank you for all of the effort you put in. Question. As a gunlancer going for your recommended 3,3,1. Do you recommend equipping lvl 1 combat rediness + lvl 3 barricade? Or should I be trying to buy grudge books?

[@NATK]

Depends on the prices at the time

[@herbv3449]

@@NATK currently about 2500-2700 on una! for purple grudge books

[@durango3063]

Dont use your precious powder. Me: ouch..

[@Abyzdecannes]

I'm getting the gems much much faster than what you're saying here ! But it's nice to have a roadmap

[@xMatyyy_]

Geeez that guy is gr8...

[@dongivafoc4493]

Great video as usual but i just have a question : how would you arrive to have 2 lvl3 engravings? Like how the placements would be? Meaning that like stone can't give class engravings but the accessories can so should we prioritize accessories with our class engravings? How this works exactly?

[@NATK]

you would need to pick and choose accessories, stones and books accordingly to figure it out. No need to rush

[@Grimmjiow]

great video thx u.

[@AbstructsXBL]

When he mentions tripods at certain levels, does he mean total or from gear skill trees (making the total required level 1 higher than mentioned)? Getting all major skills to level 4 for valtan seems disproportionately expensive compared to the engravings and gems especially with low success even with powders

[@IDeVaste]

picking spirit absorption over Adrenaline is just straight up wrong. On a class where you main damage comes from 2 massive damage abilities.

[@KeltsiGG]

Your t3 spreadsheet had no mention of robust soulfist (heavy spec of course). Is the spreadsheet about the builds you play, or builds you think are viable. Waiting for a detailed, reliable resource for robust soulfist. Peace.

[@demczas]

@ATK could you add Glaivier to spreadsheet with recommended early engravings?

[@Nostalgiaforinfi]

Nice!

[@luciifero333]

Wonderful, but also 1:27 "Never ever use your powder of sage, you'll need them later" then you didn't actually say when to use them.

[@NATK]

Never use them, you will def know when (maybe ill make another video in the future)

[@luciifero333]

@@NATK But that's..vague. I thought the point of your directions and tips was to help people make somewhat "optimal" decisions , right? 'cause if it's ultimately up to us to know "when to use them" then I don't get the "NEVER USE THEM", you know what I mean? For example, I'm currently 1345 and I'm starting to replace every lvl 1 tripod with 2's, I assume 30% is a good enough gamble NOT to use powders, but when I'll have to replace 2's with 3s maybe they will?

[@CommitJungle]

Is adren 3 really better than peacemaker 3? I love the amount of dmg your sniper deals in the last part of the fight

[@NATK]

u cango peacemaker 3 if you want, hitmaster 3 peacemaker 3. peacemaker 1 just tend to be efficient

[@qlementin]

Great video as always! But what about skill points? Is it not as important to reach certain thresholds? How long does it take to reach level 60?

[@NATK]

Skillpoints are something people take random time due to it being a collectable, i would suggest more the better as fast as you can

[@LyndsSTFU]

have you made a tripod video? im a little confused on it for tier 3 items.

[@eluv2611]

Nice video as always. I'm confused why do you only recommend FI engraving for Wardancer instead of Estoric?

[@NATK]

You need alot of collectables and tripods etc to be viable which tends to be more expensive/effort for the same thing (at the na state right now)

[@RAPIDFIRE509]

do you know what the vykas set the 1460 orange set is called or if you could post what they do can’t find any info on them also great video really informative

[@NATK]

I dont know the english name but there are 5-6 different sets, maybe can go over in the future when more people are closer

[@Suddenleey]

Hi ATK, you mention not to use powder of sage at all. Can you elaborate on why? Is it to save it for level 4 tripods?

[@blackmehrad]

That moment you wish the video was not just 5 mins long LOL

[@Homunculost]

Great video, ima stick with my hydrid Paladin xD

[@Yeobu]

I've seen a lot of videos recommending Fatal blow for Striker but you don't, could you give me some quick explanations on why esoteric is better mate ?

[@schoudh]

As a combat readiness gunlancer, so I eventually just get lvl 3 combat readiness when we get the relic sets, or is it possible to go 5 3s and a1. Combat readiness from 1 - 3 is like a 6% attack increase.

[@MakN.]

Thanks I'm at 920 and super stressed about trying to max out ignite and all out attack. I done the green but need blue and purple ahhh

[@mememaster42O]

hey so i just reached ilvl 600 on my sorc and got through the questline, i did my first dailys and got my first set of T2 gear, also my engravings are lv3 igniter, lv2 grudge, lv1 awakener. is it better to equip new T2 accessories as soon as i get them (potentionally ruining my engravings) or is it more efficient to try and look for replacements with same engravings and BIS stats on said accesories? (current T1 stats are not optimal) Thanks! love your content!

[@NATK]

Id Just keep replacing with less engravings (grudge lv2 not good)

[@mememaster42O]

@@NATK Awesome! And thanks for the fast response!

[@quotient1685]

Meanwhile, me at 1382 IL just going around doing islands and finding mokokos.

[@DixiPoowa]

Question: How are the orange gems different from blue ones ? Do they give more stats at a same tier ? I only ever found orange gems at a traveling merchant (they cost sun tokens, or w/e) and hesitated to buy them. In the market, they cost 3x more than blue gems it seems, too.

[@NATK]

orange is tier 3 and blue is tier 2, everyone will use orange gems later

[@dominik452221]

Well I started this game 1 Month ago and i have fun with deathblade... well now I know its a super end game class and Hope i´ll reach to that point somewhat fast bc I really feel a little outclassed from way worse builds( I have perfect bonus stats 3 supercharge 3 RE and 1 Dominiation(that was was an accident but in dont complain). And get outdamaged from a Reflux sorc with like 2 reflux 1 cursed doll and wild bonus stats. Even if I use my spellrotations etc correctly and have critluck most of the time. It seems in my GS(1340) the deathblade dmg fall off a bit. Hope that changes

[@LeonTrig]

I too enjoy giving Beatrice my free time 😆

[@peacekeeper865]

1:13 So should I use gems on all my skills and keep the gems at around the same level and not focus on my main dps skills and just upgrade a couple? Isn't that going to burn through silver because after you upgrade a gem the skill effect changes ever time and you need to reroll that gem again for EVERY single skill. Am I overthinking this? :/

[@williamwang7274]

What are your thoughts on blue vs red gunlancer in this progression? Considering we'll be sticking with them for a while whether it's better to play blue and swap to red when relic gear comes out

[@Jarhdf]

Any chance we could get a link to the google doc for Argos engraving recommendations?

[@sebastiankegler5846]

Everything is clear except the part with the cards. Why these 5 random cards that have no effect together ? I am confused.

[@NATK]

not due to effects, since it's free with traveling mech, it's good to collect them for future sets

[@sebastiankegler5846]

@@NATK Ah okay, so don't upgrade them yet just collect them.

[@MrViper1330]

Where should I park my alts? Got 2 currently in t2 which item level gives you honor leapstones

[@852woody]

Hey ATK ! Just wondering in 3 minute in the doc sheet i can see that Sorc Casting (probably Ignition) is Spec swift but also 2 crit ring and other specs ? is this correct?

[@gabrielreis5488]

Why taijutsu build at 2:20 is all swiftness besides neck? isnt it the opposite, all crit with swift in neck? i am so confused.

[@NATK]

You can move some more on crit, I suggested swift a lot for beginners in the beginning. because legendary accs lack stats.

[@gabrielreis5488]

@@NATK Also, why those specific classes, such as wardancer and striker, that you mentioned in 4:10, gain a huge power spike when considering others? whats the difference there for them?

[@fronix5060]

With two wealth runes demonic should be good eariler, it obvously gets better the more spec you have but not unbearable like most people have it now

[@HJS9026]

Any thoughts on esoteric wardancer? What engravings should I get?

[@NATK]

i don't recommend it earlier, but you can do eso 3 grudge 3 maybe

[@AzraelVhae]

Isn't skill potions important as well? Where does it fit in your progression guide?

[@Sammysapphira]

Collection he mentioned at the start

[@Etropal]

Any particular reason you recommend first intention over esoteric for wardancer?

[@NATK]

Better for newbies, you can play what you want though

[@UpperMoon95]

I am a little lost since i reached T3. Cause there are no Islands for Mats anymore. Seems like an endless grind of the Same Dungeons and Raids over and over.

[@NATK]

you can take your time and do dailies and adventure throughout, don't burn yourself out becuase you are not behind or game will let you be behind if you are just dilligent

[@Ziggy_On_Top]

I feel like the peepo running around lol

[@MrNinfofan]

Is there a Google sheet with the class engravings that you showed on the video?

[@NATK]

I only used it for the video

[@eriksalusoo]

This video could use an updated version that goes up to 1560

[@reveirg9]

Can anyone enlighten me why those card choices? They don't have a set effect. Do they have individual effects? Cause I don't see it on the cards

[@Schnarchnase]

What are "diamond nodes"?

[@NATK]

Ppl were calling those engraving points (15 for lv 3) diamond nodes

[@Flovust]

isnt sharpshooter with deathstrike crit/spec? and lone companion is crit/swift. also wardancer eso is better than first intention after t3 i thought

[@TouhouResha]

Hi I know you don’t play time to hunt but for that more 40/40crit swift and 20 spec?

[@uwuimpact817]

Some.people are talking about rumors of honing % update, any idea if its true?
