Casual Player Thinking of returning to Lost Ark but I don't want to do any Legion Raid what are my options?

[King Hadu]

I have no intentions of ever doing legion raids, I have multiple bards and have never been able to get into Valtan or Vykas unless it was my guild but most of the people in my guild have deleted the game and trust me I am not going to spend hours getting rejected to every group I find what I will likely do is pay for a Valtan Bus but not paying for any Kakul Saydon or Vykas or Brel bus because the profits is far too small in those bus you only make like 400 gold.

So what I really want to do is play the 2 DPS class I have in cool and fund contents, I am thinking of what content there is for casual play. Maybe delete all my Support characters also since they are useless as far as I am concerned.

Perhaps card runs maybe? since most of the lower content doesn't give any gold?
If I play Guardian Raids multiple times what do I get?

I know I can play the game for Skins save up gold from unna or Valtan AFK bus and use it to buy some cool skins on the AH, that seems like a fun thing I enjoy, sometimes just zooming in and looking at my character. What about ghost ships do people still do those Ship quests etc? and Chaos gate etc?

But I do NOT want to learn to do legion raids and I do NOT want to play legion raids.
I want to do the easier casual content

Sorry if this upsets any elitists.

Unfortunately, the game is raid or die.

Keep in mind my Bard is 3x2 and no proper cards but do have decent ish level 6 gems

Roster level is 93 so I am sure all of that plays a a role in why my bard can never be accepted into a single match however I am not interested in toxic gate keepers anyways

Skins Cosmetics make me happy and makes me feel there is a purpose in the game so I just need some activities to keep me entertained daily and I could just pay the bus driver

If I pay for valtan bus on 6 characters thats at least 6000 free gold a week so 24,000 a month thats a lot of cosmetics I can buy.

what I am thinking those ship events maybe collecting Island Souls? daily guardian raids are fun for me but I wish I could do it multiple times

What do I get for doing it multiple times?

Give me some ideas of what I can do casually

What about those Island Quests?

[PandaSav]

island quests are dead. unless mokoko server. The only ones who prevailed and took the advantage of horizontal progressions are day 1 starters(both legacy and mokkoko), majority. Even Stoopz keep mentioning, how bad horizontal progression in this game is.

[King Hadu]

Main reason I want something else to do is none of my supports ever get into any raids even when I am 1490 bard and applying for easy Valtan

So looking to just pay for bus on all my support and do other stuff like excavating and crafting

But I think all of that is a total waste of time the game seems dead because my entire guild is dead they all abandoned this game and those guys were pretty hardcore.

I think this is just a waste of bandwidth even reinstalling this

Honestly, you should quit the game and never look back. Lost ark is all about raiding + infinite grind. This game is probably the worst nightmare for a casual player

ff14 has the best life/gathering skills/progressions/visuals/fun/animation.

Yeah i didnt bother to reinstall

ok

Dev will be focusing on vertical progression rather than horizontal one. It is already heavily raid focused in KR. Thus whoever wants horizontal contents didn't make their come back mostly.

Have an award for that awesome comment short and straight to the point and factual

Just pay for raid busses(WTS runs) in party finder, in these runs you get the gold back(you even end up with more gold than before after all gates). Later, when there are raids where you don´t need the gear craft mats for it anymore, do those via matchmaking for learning/clearing(and maybe watch tentens quick guides on youtube before).

Most people left this game because of the mental drama of having to group up via chat/PUGs.

The next generation can't help but ooze that drama. And everyone tries to avoid their drama.

But in a chat find/group setup, you simply cannot. So people left.
