Game is great. Storyline is awesome. Artwork is fantastic. Game is free. And most importantly, Lost Ark does not fail to have enough revealing clothes for its female characters! 
(how it provides any protection from demons, idk)
Only complaint would be it would’ve been nice if they warned us the shards were character bound. I opened all my shards thinking it was roster shared but now its just sitting there being useless in my currency inventory. Same thing with other Tier 1 and Tier 2 materials. Opened everything from the events and now its just wasted space in my storage. 
For those reading and haven’t opened all the chests yet, DON’T! The chests are roster bound so open as needed.
TLDR Question is: Would they allow honing materials to be roster bound eventually? How is it in KR or RU Version?
