Still massively confused by which engraving stats to focus on by class. and the wiki didn't list half of the ability stones mods I had. Very frustrating for a new player.

[@grumpysanta6318]

[@fleagaunag]

This is an extremely user unfriendly system. You get engraving recipes early on during leveling and the game expects you to know to save them all up? I used all of the few green ones I had on random abilities at lvl 30 thinking to unlock all of them eventually anyway. Have I just screwed my endgame progression?

[@redhammer92]

I feel like this is the intention. Confuse players, they use the stuff wrong, and are stuck grinding to make up the difference. I really wish this game didnt have 400 different systems with half of them seemingly just fluff and the others being make or break for endgame.

[@anderstheorin9692]

Thank you!

[@bl568]

You found your calling, bro. You're a pro at this. Best Lost Ark videos on KZbin. One question though...the Books unlock Engravings and Engravings are shared across all characters on your account on the same server...so why shouldn't I just use all the books and unlock everything thereby unlocking everything for all my characters?

[@kajiwebster8802]

Because they let you choose which ones you unlock first depending on your choice. So ideally you'd pick the ones for your *main* or the toons you're currently playing

[@bl568]

@@kajiwebster8802 ....I still don't understand...your engravings are unlocked for all your characters on a server. If engravings are unlocked for all characters when you unlock them, why does it matter which character reads the book? That's where I'm getting lost. Wouldn't all your characters' unlocked engravings be the same?

[@LegacyGamingUS]

@@bl568 Because there are limited amounts of these books from fixed rewards. So the ones that let you choose, you should be only picking the ones you need. When you get random books, by all means, learn them and sell the extras.

[@Whannyd]

@@bl568 you need like 20 books to level up each tier. Makes no sense really. They should be called pages to make a book.

[@ian-tumulak]

Even though, I've watch this before I reach the engraving quest, I still committed a mistake. I should have double check the engraving prices in the auction house and see which engraving was expensive thus more valuable to get first. Your account is given one time quest which will give you 5 class engraving book and 20 combat engraving of your choice. And I just used that free books into the ether drop which is only valued as 1 gold in the market!

[@mehmetozturk771]

Thank you for the information

[@Mdelrosario17]

Great video

[@Ragefire91]

You guys are awesome thank you

[@LukeFluxcapacitor]

think the alone fact that i can equip one engraving twice (class engraving for me) was a huge help x) would have missed that thx

[@OH-hj2ph]

so if i wanted grudge engraving, would i want to go for max 12 points from all books or get it level 1 or 2 and just get the rest of the points from accessories and stones

[@Ideeem]

Question : when should I, or when can I expect to reach tier 2 class engraving?

[@aolmonkey]

Thanks now I know all the books wasted, I wish I found you guys earlier, but now you got new sub for sure should check you guys out before

[@Arknightsu]

thank you for explanation

[@xPerfectVirusx]

Is there any reason to level engravings that you or an alt won't use? For instance with cards you should ideally level all of them for the permanent stats right? Even if you don't equip them? But it doesn't look like there's a system like that for engravings?

[@warningnerdposts166]

Thanks!

[@franco4753]

kinda messed up my first 5 blue stones will i get more along the way? i was learning blinded if not thats okay i can wait for the chaos dungeons

Guys 1 question about engraving stones ( dunno if he said it in the video), can the engraving stones have Class engravings? Like reflux and ignite for sorc for example? Or only the neutral engravings?

[@xanaduxanadu550]

First guy clearly explaining what's going on. At last!

[@Real_SkyRipper]

great video

[@GoodBoyGoneDad]

Are all fo the guilds going to be on East coast servers? When selecting a guild i didnt see anything about dedicated West coast guilds. It would make things a lot easier on most of us if there were since most East coast will be running quests and things while us West coast people are still at work.

[@YoungsterJoey151]

so how can we figure out what is the best ability stone traits for us? every class guide ive watched for demonic impulse, it doesnt mention the ability stones at all but rather just the engravings

[@killersoxos]

how do we get more engravings than the classic luterra quest etc which gives you 20 points

[@danmiller5297]

Thank you

[@user-lc5bu9bm7v]

I absolutely hate systems like this where they give you a ton of limited and extremely valuable class stuff like engravings and then never ever tell you how important they really are unless you are a veteran of Korean MMO game design. Either way, thank you for the video because engravings are still confusing as all hell lmao.

[@followthewolves1991]

agreed. Its super frustrating. I opened a chest and selected all out attack for all of them. Didnt know i couldnt use them all and that i'd need to use blue rarity. Wish you could exchange them at an npc for another one of that same tier.

[@xXanderx87]

Does anyone know.. if its worth keeping lower gear on to keep a r3 class engraving intact? I currently have rank 3 mayhem on my zerker. Thats like a flat 18% dmg increase. But Im giving up a few hundred strength and other stats to keep that. I could break the class engraving and only have rank 1, but a few hundred more stats.

[@DeadlyMustard]

Thanks so much, this game did NOT explain the system well. Checked here before wasting my engraving recipe books and I'm glad I did!

[@razwyx.razwyx4963]

So, how can i have more engravings effects active if i use my jewelery and slots just to get maybe 2 at a max? Like when u search for builds, there are shown at least 3-4 engravings. How do i use more??

[@ohsosolis]

(Correction?) In abyssal dungeons you're able to get class engravings for other classes you're not playing. I got Gunslinger and Deadeye engravings on my Gunlancer.

[@29kesiu]

Should I only use the engraving recipes for the 1st and 2nd slot of engraves? Since the other engrave stats will come from accessories and stones.

[@djlongtool]

Fark this is confusing tbh but great video I may have to watch again

[@demonwares]

Man you are a god tier explainer

2 slots for engravings, will those engravings + 3 + 6 work, which we did not put in the slots, but they were pumped, thank you

[@foo1111]

You can have more than 2 engravings active? Or only just the two you equip that’s shown in your player profile?

[@kenhsieh371]

how to do add class engravings on to necklaces/accessories? is it purely just some luck of the drop or can you add them on after?

[@mlevesque33]

Ok so, correct me if I'm wrong but are stone of birth sole existance is to complement the imprints? If one of my engraving (for the imprint) is missing 4 or 5 engraving points to complete a level, you can use the stones to get that level for your imprints?

[@jimschuler8830]

7:00 I'm now confused. Where does investment banking come into this? So, the engraving underperforms the investment target, and now must pay me? In what currency?

[@Shanedunn96]

Good video. I’m still foggy on all of this however. But great content.

[@aresameliajenalpha9019]

So how many engraving can be actived at the same time? Like 2 from imprint slots and 2 from agility stone in total is 4? I jave heard ppl say 5 lvl 3 and 1lvl 2 in end game, what is that ?

[@Steadymobbin711]

Thanks boss man

[@noodle3617]

Is there any websites that tell you which islands that have merchants whose sale engraving books/pouches??

[@illient]

Being playing on NA servers past couple of days I accidently used 10 uncommon engraving books on disrespect so I figured I 'd finish it until I got enough for something else. Already had 10/20 points and I had just gotten 10 more uncommon books and went to unlock the engraving but I'm only at 11/20. How is this possible. I opened and read 10 more but it only counted 1? Is 1 book not = to 1 point after a certain amount? or did the game glitch and lost the rest?

[@orlock20]

How does explosive expert work? I read it as the ability to use two or more slots, in the combat/support slots, for grenades, but that is not the case.

[@filipstehlik7363]

Thanks

[@aaronwins3027]

Not sure if it’s a visual bug but I hovered over my blue engraving class recipe book and it said I can progress the “1/20”with the common green ones ? according to your video 20/20 green = 3 points , 20/20 blue equals another 3 point which brings it to 6 points total ? which makes me wonder if I can unlock the blue recipe book and fill it 20/20 with the green common recipe books ?

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Negative. When you hover over your books, they are showing how much they advance an engraving of that tier. 1 blue book will be 1/20 of tier 2 for that engraving. Same goes for every other rarity. The 3 gems in a tier come from a full 20/20 engraving of that tier.

[@brbrd102]

Do the engravings need to be slotted in order to gain their effects.

[@MinhNguyen-zw8zj]

ive been trying to google this but still cant find the answer. can you change the engravings you got on your rings/necklaces? i got some armor that gives me the stats i need but gives the bad engraving i dont want

[@Bez_straha_od_zla]

Can someone explain me, why in this video jewlery is mentioned not to destroy it, "because it can be god item for alts" , since items I get from dungeons and runs CANT BE TRANSFERED to roaster inventory????

[@Cafaaro]

If I get 'bis' jewelery in tier 1, can I transfer the engravings to my next t2 jewelery? If so, where?

[@ioneil1808]

Confused. Are facet stones equippable? Are only the 2 engraved pendant slots your active engravings along with jewelry?

[@ixadoodler8865]

I have a question about class-specific engravings. So I researched the 20 common (green) Recipes for my Gunslinger "Time to Hunt" class engraving. When equipped it only fills up 4 nodes, now can I raise these nodes with abilitystones and jewelery ? Or is it only raisable with learning another 20 recipes of the next tier (blue) ?

[@jpiggott9523]

yeah you have to move on to blue ones to get the next chunk, then the purple, then the orange and then finish it off with jewellry

[@jpiggott9523]

also where did you get your class ones from

[@unstable_7071]

@@jpiggott9523 I am stuck I used 20 green and blue of my class engraving and 3 purple and am only lvl 1 with 1 dot

[@TroyChristensen]

Still confused over Imprints. Are these the only engravings that are in effect for the character? Or does all engravings work for you character? What effect does Imprints do on your character?

[@justinka7674]

I have the same question. Like for example if I have grudge x6 unlocked on my dps, but now play my paladin will grudge be activated on my paladin too in the engravings window?

[@hellasketch6523]
