I have been playing this game for a looong time now, more than 1300h+.
I gave a feedback/suggestion for the engravings that are garbage and turn them into something usable.
the current system for skills + engravings doesnt give enough room for criativity and experiments, also, make gearing up something tedious and very boring.
the RNG related to the engravings in accessories are utter garbage. not only almost never drops something we need, when it does its not the way we need, so we rely on the AH to find the piece that FIT our needs and pockets, which in some cases, turn into a whale battle.
I already gave suggestions regarding engravings skills… now my suggestion would make a different system for how to make your engravings set.
the core idea:
Just like you did with the tripods, which in my opinion was a very smart move for the good, do it with the engravings.
my idea is:
accessories: instead of engraving points, make them give other type of benefits, like any other mmo does.
like % in attack/defense/healing/penetration(no malice)
ex: instead of 3/5 engraving, put up to 3% of up to 2 of above benefits, like 1% atk power, 3% healing bonus-
Create you set of engravings in lost ark is the MOST annoying thing because its HEAVY rng related
I would prefer much more something I can actually create in order to achieve what we need or an activity that we know will pay off in the end.
my idea is to create 2 sockets in the accessories and create engraving gems to fit those sockets, create an NPC so we spend silver to insert the gem to the socket and a fee to remove to replace for another
the gems would be from +2 to +5 points, rng would still be kept on the engravings and the drop % not very low for the +5 or +3 ones, because there is still RNG related to the engravings that ppl want, because again, gearing should be FUN and not a CHORE.
for one socket put a limit of up to +3 points and the other up to +5 for relics accessories, up to +3 points on both sockets for legendary, up to +2 for epic etc, all regarding ilevel limits. also pheons cost should not be high. so will need to adjust the pheon cost for the gems and for the accessories.
this is something to think about and would give great appreciation and diversity for the game.
in regards the engravings abilities suggestion I made another post for that. which is only the tip of the iceberg.
This game has a large room for improvemements.
like, why dont you put something to drop from the named bosses scattered through the world of arkesia?
like you have so many maps that are there taking space with no use other than the beginning.
in my opinion, lost ark needs a rewamp completely from 0, to make use of the world even after reaching end game.
