Hi guys,
i play this game alot…and i really like it but now i am at a point where the luck based honing system is killing the fun for me.
Right now i am at ilvl 1419 and i need two weeks farming on four chars to get two upgrades on my main (Sup Pala). Almost every item goes pity. At the same time my mates are way more lucky and speed away from me. In maybe two weeks they will be able to do Valtan (HM) and i will be replaced till i reach the 1445. With my current luck i need a lot more time to keep up and in that time they will push further away. One of my mates has about 150 honing fails less than me…just imagine what that means in ressources and time (or money).
And yeah i know some people dont even get to 1415 and i am a sup and will always find a group, but that is not what a game should be about. i want to keep playing with my mates not with randoms all the time.
I play on a daily basis and i am behind some guys investing way less time than me because of luck.
The system needs a change in my opinion. Put the number of needed materials and the honing rate up to at least 50% so the work and time you put in this game is way more rewarding.
100% artisian energy = 100% upgrade chance no luck involved.

I think rates should be slightly higher but I dont think the RNG should be removed.
I dont think honing rates at the end game level should be as high as 50%, 20-25% would be more than enough rng. 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 chances.
I would just move on. Plenty of people have complained about the system, they said it’s not changing, so stop give them your time and money until they reconsider

Always the same drill…
WOnt be changed accept it or not.
I was rly unluck from 1415-1425 took me prob 1200 GHL
1425-1445 was lucky streak only 500 or smth…
Yeah 25% and upgradeable with materials would be okay but yeah.
Some people say…just keep going you will have a luck streak too. Luck is not guaranteed.
I made it to 1445 and I haven’t even finished my strategic failure achievement yet… RNG is RNG. The system won’t change. The only difference between this game and others is they show the chances up front and at least you know eventually you get an upgrade. How often in ARPG’s or other MMO’s where you grind for something with a hidden chance to get it for months hoping for an upgrade…
yeah but how many fails you have till 100% artisan?
My mates sometimes need two tries or even one shot their stuff from 19 to 20. I go full pity from 13 to 14 and thats the normal way for me.
One mate went in one week from 1415 to 1438. I got from 1415 to 1419 in two weeks. Wtf?
@Theonlyway
other games dont block you out from content like lost ark does. its true that the game at least show you the chances etc… but the RNG will keeping me away from playing the actual content with my friends and as they make progress and getting better stuff and keep pushing further away…i am stuck behind and need to invest more time or pray to whatever god to have more luck? that sucks.
This game rewards you for having luck and not for investing your time. thats bad and unnecessary in my opinion.
