Yes because it takes like almost 2 month to get the full lvl2 set from doing clown. Yes it’s not going anywhere but 2.7k gold a week also isn’t that much.
You also gotta be realistic, do you think you’re a good player that can learn clown quick? I know people who still havent cleared g3 yet so the sooner you get practice in the better.
Good point also I may re-evaluate in a couple weeks and maybe push main to 1475 then. I should have a decent amount of mats on my main by then also.
NA West Mari server.
Word, I did 3 weeks of Vykas normal and was getting the hang of that and then unlocked hard mode and had to get the hang of that for the last 2 weeks. I feel a lot more confident about next week though.
Awe sadge, If you were on East I’d say we can run next weeks together, we always have room for new folks.
What @redsprite000 said isn’t wrong, learning Clown is useful early on and getting your Lv2 set is a bonus, but it isn’t a requirement. By the time Brelshaza comes out you’ll likely be able to pick up the Gate 3 box for free to help catch you up, especially if you found yourself a static to run with each week.
Even if you don’t have Lv2 set, you’re a Bard. Nobody gatekeeps supports regardless lol.
But if you were forced to choose between pushing to 1475 or getting a couple alts to 1415-1445 I would choose the alts, it’s more overall value to you, more raid lockouts you can run, more chances at relic drops, etc. But alts aren’t cheap and the DPS gatekeeping in Valtan/Vykas Normal is insane… so I suppose it comes down to who you are playing with and if you find yourself in PF hell.
I don’t think he’s really forced since the cost from 1470-1475 is almost nothing. The 2.7k gold isn’t a huge loss he can make some of it back doing 4 man busses if he’s that desperate. The easy choice is to just go 1475.
Clown is different because the time to learn could be obscene for some people so you’re not gonna get accepted outside of learning parties. Right now there are still a good amount of those. Can’t say the same in a few weeks.
Also remember he’s in NA West they have even less players than east so learning parties might be way less compared to ours.
Gawd is the gatekeeping ever bad for dps… Just got two alts to 1415 and cleared Argos on one but it took a while to find a group and the second one I still have not found a group that will take me… Not to mention Valtan/Vykas I will never get into those on a DPS until I am like 20-30 item level higher than the raid lol…
I thought I would have no problem with Argos at 1415 and have to ride the bus for Valtan but it seems 1430 is minimum for alts to be effective.
My whole roster is cracked, but one of my alts is 1415 as it’s just a placeholder for AYAYA so I get to experience the fun that is 1415 Valtan NM PF each week and it is honestly a riot lol
Not to mention, actually getting into clown groups is exceedingly difficult. As a support its easier obviously, but for us DPS its next to impossible if you aren’t 1495+ with title.
I do not doubt it at all… Kind of regret making 4 main DPS alts, feeling like I shoulda made at least one or two more bards lmao…
I’m the type of player who wants to try all the different classes and see how they feel. This game appeared on the surface to be a game that promoted that but it turned out not to be the case really.
Not to mention needing 300k just for class leg books per toon at some point lmao
This game is insanity for real
Daaaamn dude, hope you heal up quick. I’ve been passing the time with a spinal injury from smashing my head on a rock underwater in class 3 rapids while kayaking by playing Lost Ark as well haha. I have some work I need to do this weekend though. What region/server are you on?
I’d push the main to 1475. You’d actually gain a lot from 1475 chaos dungeon, and you’re only two more honings away from 75.
Does it really make that much of a difference between the 1445 and 1475 one? I can’t seem to find a loot table comparing both of them.

Rough amounts for a pair of runs at each chaos dungeon level.
Very nice! Thank you!
i mean having roster like this and wont be able to clear even g1 clown at first week? xD there is something wrong
1445
Argos 1445
Vkyas NM
Valtan NM (do HM w/ guild when u can)
Lots of people simply didn’t run Clown the first week, or had some outside circumstance.
I lost first week due to hurricane Fiona, which means even though I am clearing clown 4 times a week on my roster, I still get gate kept for being 1 upgrade behind others.
Also continued honing is a thing. Mains & Alts both are reaching 1475 every day and they are going to be in PF. You don’t get to start out as maxed Lv2 set and new players have to learn.
the “wrong” thing is that i dont have 30 hours to learn anything for now, with argos we had no option but to lean, with valtan we had no option but to learn, with vycas we had no option but to learn, not the case with clown where if you try to learn you lose a ton of gold and in my casenot only the raid gold but by dedicating time to learn i can not do my other activities missing even more…
I generate a day like 30k gold and im not gonna lose that, the cost of learning for me is too high…
that said, last night did g1 and g2 in a learning party with datmodz and we gonna finish g3 today, then i can go and clear with all my other 5 toons and once i can clear full clown like nothing ill hone my whole 12 toons roster to 1490
lol my guy thinks cuz he cleared once
he can just yolo walk into pugs with 5 other less geared alts
