chaos line shop underwhelming

[Makko]

so if i got this right the rewards are once per roster and never refresh and unlike anguish island you cant put any of the rewards in roster storage and the rewards it self are quite bad for needing 1370gs to buy them if you buy the whole storage you get 500red stones 1500blue ones and 170 leapstones wich is 34 greater leapstones wich is one upgrade okay the card packs are nice if you get lucky but this seems like pointless content when you can finish the whole shop in 3weeks and buy it out completely

Because it's Smilegate (and probably partly Amazon Games) and almost every design they have implemented into this game disrespects the time of the player and tries to mask that the game is very shallow so they have to string players along to make it seem like there is more content that they can do. How can people not have figured this out by now when they're deep into T3? Of course this shop would do this and give one stuff at a level that isn't really useful.

i am aware of this and i think most players are so too but gameplay it self is very enjoyable and we just mostly wait for the acutal content yeah game is quite shallow in the end nothing wrong with that

Dont just go with the overly negative things that are said about the game. There are certainly strong points to criticise, but lets stay objectively here. The game does give you a damn lot for free for being a F2P game. Everyone can easily reach 1370 without having to pay a cent. Its one of the most generous F2P games i have ever played for sure.

Now, i also stopped playing the game because its obviously a product to make you addicted, but it does it in a rather soft way by giving you 95% for free and then incentivises you to spend money for the last 5% that isnt actually needed, but can be reached if wanted. Thats also a reason why i recommend this game, even though i start my recommendation with the fact that its a product to make you addicted.

i have to disagree 1400 is very manageable from the playerbase and it wasnt annoyed nor have any of my friends been and we all have reached 1400+ and i have had the worst rng in honing out of all of them we checked our fails i had the most and it still was enjoyable experience nor did any of us pay money to reach that other than me who bought bronze founders pack lol and as far as i have heard lost ark is game where old content stays relevant thoughtout the game and its and MMO afterall everyone will experience the content at somepoint if the just play the game so i dont see any reason why they gatekeeped the content

I mean, yeah, but it was just an example. We both know that people would feel bad for farming intesively to reach high endgame just to see two months later that this grind wasnt actually needed.

It sounds like there are more things to buy off the vendor, usually, but they will be releasing later (I assume in May). I would assume it's best to save all your Fragmented Bloodmagick Stones (the currency from running the Chaos Line) for then. I might save my entrance tickets even, in case the fragment drop amounts scale in the next big patch, or from my higher ilvl at that point.

EDIT: Apparently it's not the same currency used for the higher level mats later. So unless saving the keys works for that later, new, currency, this isn't worth running much at the required ilvl (1370). Sigh.

EDIT 2: The keys (Token of Protection) are used in Hard Mode, so save them. Only had one person claim this though, so verify yourself with someone in the know if you even care at this point.

For reference, here is what is currently available on the vendor (it isn't much right now):

-500 destruction stone
-1500 guardian stone
-10k honor shards
-170 honor leapstones (=34 greater honor leapstones)
-30 solar grace
-15 solar blessing
-5 solar protection
-1 million silver
-10 epic rapport items (of your choice)
-3 epic-leg card random pack
-1 green soul leaf card exp

The silver might help some people now, but the rest is meh for using up shards that will later give many more high level mats. Buy things that will help now (silver?) and save the rest for May.

You go there only to get that one collectible star.
That star is the whole point of that dungeon and after you get that dungeon is basically over and other limited stocks are just filler

edit: and you can consider yourself extremely lucky if you managed to get the star before you exhaust every other limited stock in the shop

it's also weird that everything seem to be one time only. that mean in a month, that thing will be useless and only farmed for the terrible drop rate omnium star.
if someone know of the shop version in KR, do they have some weekly stuff in ?

There will be a better version of that dungeon with other rewards.

basically no. it's been a long while since I last go there but I think there isn't anything even worth the hassle of garbage mob hunting for entrance ticket quest
