13s rocks pile up in your inventory this

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

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

400s to go back and play through various
402s content to acquire any of those
403s resources

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