3s | what's up y'all sci-fi here and in |
---|---|
5s | today's video we're going to talk about |
7s | five things to know about engraving now |
10s | if you just recently hit level 50 and |
12s | you're starting to see those purple |
13s | rocks pile up in your inventory this |
15s | video is going to help you understand |
17s | the importance of them as well as some |
19s | other things you should keep in mind |
21s | if you already know all this stuff be |
22s | sure to share it with someone who |
24s | doesn't but without further ado let's |
26s | get started |
31s | first let's go over a basic breakdown |
33s | and talk about what engravings are |
35s | engravings are special effects that can |
36s | be applied to your character that |
38s | improve the effectiveness of certain |
40s | abilities or characteristics such as |
42s | increasing the damage of attacks other |
44s | than back and frontal attacks with the |
46s | hitmaster effect or reducing your |
48s | awakening skills cooldown with the |
49s | awakening effect |
51s | each effect has three levels with the |
52s | effect becoming more powerful at each |
54s | level to view all of the engravings and |
57s | their effects access the engraving |
59s | effect window by pressing alt and i or |
61s | you can click roster on the bottom right |
63s | then engraving effect while here you can |
66s | hover over each engraving to check out |
67s | its benefits at each level and get a |
69s | feel for which direction you want to |
71s | start grinding towards |
72s | now if you want to view any effects that |
74s | are currently applied to your character |
76s | press p or click character on the bottom |
78s | right then character profile here you |
81s | can also see the three levels with |
82s | diamonds underneath these diamonds are |
84s | called nodes and your goal is to fill or |
87s | unlock each node to increase your level |
89s | for that effect |
91s | in order to do this you'll need to equip |
93s | accessories and ability stones or |
95s | acquire and read engraving recipe books |
97s | which are things we'll go over later in |
99s | this video but not only is engraving a |
101s | mechanic that will drastically improve |
103s | your character's abilities taking |
105s | advantage of learning the ins and outs |
107s | early on will only help as you take on |
109s | even more challenging content at in-game |
113s | speaking of learning early on let's move |
114s | on to the next topic and talk about |
116s | engravings and ability stones |
119s | ability stones are a resource you begin |
121s | to acquire well before you reach level |
123s | 50. and if you've been collecting these |
125s | little purple rocks and wondering what |
127s | use there is for them this tip is for |
129s | you ability stones are very important |
132s | and they provide a bonus to your |
134s | vitality as well as effects from |
136s | engravings |
137s | once acquired you may notice it can be |
139s | equipped this is because ability stones |
142s | must be faceted a process where an |
144s | ability stone cutter polishes the stone |
146s | to activate the effects allowing you to |
149s | equip it |
150s | to begin fastening find the ability |
152s | stone cutter in any major city their |
154s | icon on your map will be a blue gem once |
156s | in the menu clicking any stone in your |
158s | inventory on the left side would allow |
160s | you to begin fastening on the right |
162s | on the right you'll see the two positive |
164s | engravings and one negative engraving |
167s | you might notice there are also unfilled |
169s | nodes under each effect along with a |
171s | pickaxe and a fee of silver next to that |
174s | clicking the pickaxe on any effect will |
176s | cause you to spin some silver to attempt |
178s | to fill a node resulting in increased |
181s | effectiveness of the ability |
183s | keep in mind each attempt has a success |
185s | rate and a chance of cracking that will |
187s | increase or decrease at every try this |
190s | is going to make the process random also |
192s | fastening won't be completed until all |
195s | attempts including the cracks are |
196s | carried out so be sure to check those |
198s | rates that way you can try to aim for |
200s | the maximum amount of nodes to be filled |
203s | for the positive effects and hopefully |
205s | none for the negative |
207s | once complete the results screen will |
209s | show you the number of successful facets |
211s | as well as what additional effects apply |
214s | while only one stone can be equipped at |
216s | a time don't be afraid to begin |
218s | fastening and switching them out early |
220s | on as they can potentially provide the |
221s | most amount of points towards your |
223s | engravings allowing you to activate them |
226s | at the highest levels |
228s | moving on let's talk about engravings |
230s | and accessories because while you're |
232s | getting used to fastening you may |
234s | realize that most of the time you're not |
235s | going to activate as many nodes with |
237s | just one ability stone |
239s | this is when making use of the |
240s | accessories come into play as you defeat |
243s | mobs and bosses through your dailies |
245s | complete quests and other content in |
247s | lost ark you'll acquire accessories such |
249s | as necklaces earrings and rings that'll |
252s | come with random engraving effects hover |
255s | over these accessories to view the |
257s | effects and how many nodes will be |
258s | filled if you decide to equip it but |
261s | keep in mind that combining that ability |
263s | stone with accessories that also have |
265s | that same engraving effect is what |
267s | maximizes how many nodes are filled |
269s | resulting in those increased levels and |
272s | this is what will make checking out the |
274s | accessories you acquire important as |
276s | opposed to focusing only on the basic |
278s | effects you receive |
280s | so next time you're out there looting be |
281s | sure to keep an eye out on what effects |
283s | you can gain |
285s | number two custom engravings |
288s | along with finding random engravings |
290s | attached to ability stones and |
291s | accessories custom engravings will allow |
293s | you to manually apply two specific |
296s | engravings to your character during the |
298s | first topic we went over how you can |
300s | view all of the engravings in the |
301s | engraving effect menu while here you may |
304s | have noticed two tabs the combat bonus |
306s | and the class bonus tab |
308s | the combat tab shows you engravings that |
310s | can be equipped with any class and |
312s | viewing the class tab will show effects |
315s | specific to the class you're playing |
316s | with |
317s | underneath each engraving you'll see a |
319s | number out of 20. this number relates to |
321s | how many engraving recipe books you'll |
323s | need to find and read to unlock the |
326s | effects these books can be acquired |
328s | throughout your daily sessions and come |
330s | in different rarity tiers uncommon rare |
333s | epic and legendary |
334s | keep in mind that each tier you'll need |
337s | to read 20 recipe books to advance to |
339s | the next tier and you must follow them |
341s | in order so you'll need to start by |
343s | reading 20 uncommon books then 20 rare |
346s | 20 epic 20 legendary and although it may |
349s | sound like a grind you're going to |
351s | acquire these by completing content such |
353s | as side quests dungeons towers even just |
356s | exploring islands also |
359s | the great thing about custom engravings |
361s | is that once they're unlocked it's |
363s | unlocked for all of your characters on |
365s | that server |
367s | now that you know the important tips |
368s | about engraving let's move on to the |
370s | last tip and talk about starting early |
372s | early on you'll begin collecting ability |
374s | stones accessories and engraving recipe |
377s | books and although you'll focus on these |
379s | more once you hit level 50 and begin |
381s | progressing through tiers one two and |
382s | three it's a good idea to get used to |
384s | them at the earlier levels so you're |
386s | prepared once you get there be sure to |
388s | check out all of the engravings that can |
390s | be applied maybe even begin collecting |
392s | and saving engraving recipe books until |

396s | this will save you a ton of time once |
398s | you hit level 50 because you won't have |
400s | to go back and play through various |
402s | content to acquire any of those |
403s | resources |
404s | one huge thing to keep in mind is that |
406s | recipe books accessories and ability |

411s | or roster storage that way you can |
413s | transfer these to your alternate |
