i am trying to find getting more crewmates for my station mission

[@rosumparat]

What about the cards and how to get XP to upgrade them?

[@MrKarapasa]

ur discord link is broken.. gettin invalid invite

[@jedward1832]

Your videos have been extremely helpful but I have to say - sometimes I get discouraged and question if I really want to continue playing this game. There is so much too it and it stresses me out thinking of the amount of time I would have to invest to truly play it. Is that a common fear that you hear from new players? There just seems to be so much to do/keep track of and I am not used to playing a game like this.

[@Potatobrains_]

The Ark isn't nearly as Lost as I am.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

This comment right here. Gave us a good laugh.

[@justinthematrix]

Lmao

[@michaelhumphrey2858]

FACTS

[@g4Nkv2]

Well played

[@rickwierenga3766]

😂😂😂

[@ryanroberts5104]

One of the things I have enjoyed in this game is how streamlined the side quests are. I have this weird impulse to click on all those side quests and complete them. They all seem to flow well with the main quest lines. Love it.

[@Mogani]

it's not like gather 50+ of this item one at time bs like wow

[@singhutsav]

yup lol just keep walking in the direction of the main quest and kill like 9 mobs boom side quest done

[@pokermitten9795]

Sidequests are good, but the daily ones.. Some are brutal once you get alts going.

[@auxtxn]

I like that everything for the most part moves forward. Yes some are retrieval quests and back and forth dialogue but they move you forward on the map roughly around where the main quest is taking you

[@sofm5833]

Coming from new world to this is so much better! I loved new world but the questing was just pure sh*t

[@karsonkammerzell6955]

The moment I realized that Mokoko Seeds can get placed in areas outside the map in the black void and that paths were often straight up false terrain/walls I stopped bothering to find them myself and just went to guides. I don't mind looking for collectibles when there is a way to legitimately deduce the location through exploration, but when it becomes a case of 'walking against every wall and rock JUST in case'? Nah.

[@BlackLig47]

Hard same, I love exploring but damn I don't have the time to check every wall in the game...

[@Dozav7]

Just did a mission where it’s not only a false wall, but you have to kill a boss and go back to walk through it.

[@yefritzinedineperezgomez5120]

just look up their locations on google to get the rewards

[@blowbags2008]

Yea I'm casual but do like "off to the side" stuff like getting the adventurer's tome up to the 70+, but not dropping my casual playtime in to stuff like that either. Online map time.

[@updown2576]

Completely with you guys, I love collecting these stuffs ingame, exploring, doing everything blind, but I gave up after the first few maps. This game design I hate, when they actively go against the very nature of their game that they created. These hidden "no way to tell" walls forces you to go agains every single wall. Who does that, and also guys creating the guide for us, were they going agains every single wall ingame, and looking behind every shadow?

[@Erik-vp5bm]

One additional thing for the UI bit... "Player outline" can be very useful to enable. It _somewhat_ ruins the aesthetics by putting an outline around you, but you'd see yourself much clearer when you are in the thick of a huge battle where a lot of stuff is going on.

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Good tip!

[@KevinPlayingGames]

Great guide. I've been searching through videos for useful Lost Ark guides, and yours is chock full of useful info, and it helps that you're a clear and articulate speaker. The info is organized but it doesn't sound like you're reading from a script. Well done and subscribed.

[@temjiu9915]

Great vid, probably one of the best tips and tricks vids I've seen in awhile. Too many T&T vids cover basic things that anyone with a bit of attention can pick up by browsing the game. It's those things that are hidden a few steps behind that initial veil that are frustrating to find information on, but very few advanced vids cover them since they're...well not quite advanced. This vid covers allot of that stuff. Keep up the good work man!

[@LegacyGamingUS]

A lot of tips and tricks vids for a lot of games are sadly clickbait most of the time from creators who have barely ever touched the game sadly. Not our style here. Glad you found it useful!

[@doctorcatmeowmeow9619]

i would surely replay this vid...cause im a new player and i didnt picked up everything yet...i appreciate the effort you put into this video..thank you!

[@Geckomayhem]

It's still incredibly overwhelming and I've barely scratched the surface so far! This is immensely helpful but just goes to show how flipping complicated this game is!

[@tehClew]

You don’t need to worry about anything but the main story until level 50.

[@DekkarJr]

@@tehClew thx for this point... i was feeling so overwhelmed by this video I uninstalled the game... lol... xD

[@gludington2002]

Hey man, not sure you'll ever see this. I'd never come across any of your videos before, but I'm glad I found this one. I watched it a few days after I started playing, and had already made a couple mistakes, but nothing I can't remedy, and no more surprises, thanks to you. I appreciate you and this video, and the time it took to make. As concise as possible, and it filled in all the blanks I came looking to learn about. Kudos man, thanks, you've got a new sub in me!

[@woodygaming2219]

Video was way longer then i though but lots of tips that i didnt know Thank you for the info and the Time stamps :D

[@nulleins8672]

this is a really good guide thank you! the more i learn about this game the more impressed i am. like it actually seems like the devs want to make some things right with this game. for example having the option to skip doing dungeons for a few days as a casual player without losing out on loot. that's such a good mechanic.

[@salami_yt]

This is the best newbies oriented video about the game I've seen so far, good job man, keep it up!!

[@SoundBubble]

Probably one of the best "Wish I knew sooner" videos I've seen on Lost Ark yet

[@point5zero]

On point as always! Great work, will look into your guild once the dust settles to see if an Aussie time-zone crew is up and running. Thanks again 👍

[@wicketteshotts7704]

New to game and watching your video was Great. Boy! that was a lot on one plate, well covered, good job, and thank you for your time putting it all together for us.

[@setcamper]

Just started playing this game, and I doubt a channel of this size reads outdated comments- but man, you have THE BEST presentation skills of anyone I've ever seen on KZbin. If you weren't a broadcast journalism major you have quite the gift for "public" speaking.

[@shmooperdoodle]

I really appreciated how accessible this was. I told myself I was just going to blindly dabble with the game, but I lied to myself. I can’t do it. I’m too much of a completionist nerd. This was helpful to a newcomer, especially because I’m always afraid to mess things up for myself later. This alleviated a ton of anxiety.

[@shayrualg]

only found this video recently I tip my hat to all involved, this has taught me so much in a concise and easy to understand way, great job all, seriously appreciate it

[@jonthompson3712]

this was so helpful and no bs filler. best beginner vid ive seen, thanks!

[@pr0v3n]

Fantastic video! As a new player, super keen to jump in, and these should really help me from making some rookie errors! Thank you~

[@LegacyGamingUS]

Happy to help!

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

I can’t even believe I’m playing lost ark. I still remember when they released the first trailer for Korea like 7 years ago and it crushed me knowing I would have to wait if it ever came. Now it’s here and it’s everything we dreamed ….. and the servers work !!!

[@arjenhuytker]

After years of waiting, i realized i couldnt play cause of netherlands lawmaking :) LOL

[@_ifrit]

You didn’t have to wait could still play with workarounds

[@ariellaboy7982]

Amazing stuff! High quality videos and helping me feel comfortable with LA having zero knowledge of the game prior to finding this channel.

[@Seluecus1]

As a Casual gamer, i can definitely tell you that some of these things are straight QoL enhancements and I thank you for uploading this video. I do like to do end game Raids and Such, but it's nowhere near as often as other gamers and I'll tend to lose track, so some of these things makes the transition back into end-game a little less rough.

[@thatslimguy]

Massive respect for this, even starting the game months after you made this!! So much great info!!!

[@mohamedbenkhadra3475]

one of the most if not the best video i have seen among all of the videos i have watched about lost ark . thank you for your hard work man

[@robli9156]

This is pretty much the first video i have watched on lost ark. Kept hearing about it but didnt look into it. This looks like an insanely awesome game from someone who wasnt on any hype trains.

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

Combat is simply amazing, the writing and Microtransactions are meh. So far its fun though, especially if you like Diablo style combat.

[@lubosaust7454]

@@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha i dont think it has diablo style combat tho

[@torreywalker8607]

@@lubosaust7454 I agree. The camera angle is similar in some moments but the combat I feel is more technical and has more purpose. I have to battle with intention. In Diablo. It's kinda just button mashing

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

@@lubosaust7454 Its in the same genre of combat at Diablo is what I mean, that is a fact not an opinion

[@candidavis1061]

I watched the whole thing I will only retain about 10% of this haha I look forward to coming back and rewatching a few times this video is packed with useful info. I wish u explained the dismantling a bit more as Im a complete noob and I still dont understand what items need to be dimantled vs which ones have buffs you want to transfer off.

[@hazelmojoyoyo]

Watching these videos make clear for me 1 thing. This is a second job and i want to enjoy a game, when are they going to learn games are for fun and not a chore. Thanks for your explanation. It was very informative and well writed.

[@nickbohannon2184]

It's an MMO. Their core design is that of a job in terms of time investment and daily dedication if you want to do the end game content. The trick is making the grind a rewarding and enjoyable experience (or as much as grinding can be at least). It sounds like your interests in games just isn't compatible with the genre. Which is fine. The majority of gamers don't enjoy Dark Souls despite what online opinion may lead you to believe. It caters to a certain type of player and you just arent it.

[@Kruelty175]

@@nickbohannon2184 I agree they need to make a competionist/farmer/time sink mode that they have for people that want to enjoy those things along with a mode for those that just want to just have fun with some quest/kill mobs/raids problem solved.

[@tbird3685]

learning shouldnt be a job so we gotta work on that boss

[@numastar8398]

its very VERY VERY rare i like youtubers content beyond one video. i enjoy all ur content. ur not annoying or preachy. just to the point and informative. u keep ur bias out of it and that speaks to me

[@LegacyGamingUS]

That's been Codiak's and My plan since day 1. Make the content we as two dudes that just love video games want to watch. Simple plan. Simple execution. Glad you are enjoying it. Comments like this keep us going full steam ahead :)

[@jonafinium684]

Wow, Great video, I knew most of these things from past experience but my jaw dropped when you mentioned you could port straight to your ship, so much time wasted going to port then running to dock lol thank you.

[@showtimeap3]

I remember you made some hunter videos back in the Legion days of wow. I don't remember anything really except you were a the only goblin hunter I had ever seen. Once I saw your face and then your name it all fell into place. Anyway, super excited you are making content for LA and love this video!!!!

[@baflabies]

Nice guide! This guides make waaaay more sense after tried the game

[@Gregair13]

So excited for tomorrow. Haven’t been a new game I’ve been hyped about in toooo long. Let’s go Legacy!

[@k4g7]

....it comes out tomorrow?

[@truncs_]

Tomorrow? More like 2 hours

Great video man watched it all the way through. When I looked at your subscriber count I was mind blown, thought it would be in the millions. Keep it up 👍

[@TalonWren]

Honestly, its hard to stay 100% nailed to a class, when we are still missing classes in our versions of our game.

[@Ikaraii]

I want my Scouter!

[@MitchellWinning]

I can get that but sounds like having different characters if very useful and maybe by the time you get to high end game the new classes might be out or you could take a break by this point until they are? Just a friendly suggestion xx

[@pokermitten9795]

Good reason to take it slow, explore lateral, and maybe stockpile resources with a few alts. Leave two or 3 spots open for the new classes of course and save some gold for knowledge xfer. Then turn main into alt.

[@miguel30215]

@@pokermitten9795 doesn’t seem worth it to use gold for knowledge transfer. You still have to go through the story regardless. The story is already pretty easy.

[@sarahheron4565]

this is such a huge game ive honestly been quite lost playing it because there is so much too it, helpful tips, thank you.

[@beano2689]

I’ve played tons of different mmorpgs, BDO, Albion Online, New World, GW2, ESO etc. and I could never get into any of them. I played max 1 week and realized that I truly didn’t enjoy playing them even though the genre seemed to fit every little inch of my wish list, but I just couldn’t get into it. Then this game came along. I was a little scared to try it at first because of the controls, but I gave it a shot and boy am I glad I did. This is single-handedly the most fun I have had on a game by myself in a REALLY long time. I was looking for a game exactly like this. I’m so happy I finally found my game.

[@Hhh-j8o]

I couldnt get into any of the MMOs you've mentioned either, because they suck. I've played wow all the way up until 3 years ago, and it's the only game and now lost ark as well as an old Korean MMOs I used to play that lost ark frankly seems to be heavily inspired by....it's like a mix of the two. Just look up infinite dungeons in dekaron and compare them with chaos dungeons. Gear progression in lost ark is very similar to wow.

important question regarding this bunch of consumable items you're supposed to only use when you are absolutely sure you want to use them that way: If i create a casual character to try the game out, ar there any items i may waste which could greatly boost my accout/roster as a whole?
