In this guide, let's go over the biggest gear and roadblock in LSOT AK: getting gear upgrade from 1340 to 1370.
Top 5 LSOT AK 1340 To 1370 Gear Honing (Upgrade) Tips
Here we will share with you five important tips to help you hone gear from 1340 to 1370 in LSOT AK:
Tip 1 - Don't Mess Up Your Artisan's Energy, Better To Finish It Off at 100%
As you get into these higher honing levels where your chance to succeed is actually going to be lower and lower, you will definitely notice that you're going to start to fail quite a bit here. Because of that, you're going to be building up your artisan's energy. And it's very important that you don't actually mess up your artisan's energy, that you finish it off at a nice even 100. You don't want to find yourself in a scenario where you end up failing an enhancement for your gear and then you end off at like 98 or 99, that's an absolute disaster because not only have you failed a lot, but now you have another honing attempt that you have to do where you do not have a guaranteed success. Whereas if you ended up finishing off right at 100, then now you know even though you failed the whole bunch, you're going to have guaranteed success on your next honing attempt.
Why You'd Better Finish Your Artisan's Energy at 100%?
So you can get a sense here of an example: let's say that you're holding a piece of gear and getting your artisans energy every time that you fail and your chance to succeed is also going to go up each time that you fail as well, so on top of that every attempt that you do is actually going to end up giving you more artisans energy. So if we start off here and we fail, let's say we get 15 artisans energy then if we fail that we're going to get 17 artisans energy, 19, 21 we've still failed here. And the problem is we have now failed four times but we've ended off at 95 artisan's energy which is a big fat rip we want to find ourselves. Not in that predicament there, we'd much rather end off at 100 instead of ending off at 95 percent. Because at 95 percent, we have another honing attempt that we have to do where we are not guaranteed to succeed; whereas off if we ended at 100 then even though we failed five times now, we know that the next one is going to succeed.
How To Make Sure Your Artisan's Energy End at 100%?
So you want to get into practice here of making sure that your artisan's energy ends off at 100 and not 99 or so on and so forth, so what we can actually do here is if we go 15 to 17, 19, 21 instead of going with 23, if we actually add a few materials here to that last attempt to make sure that if we somehow still fail again we don't end off at 95 percent. We need to keep an eye on our Artisan's Energy here and make sure that we added just enough material to make sure that we end off at 100, because not only is that going to end up increasing your chance to succeed, but that's going to ensure that you don't mess up your Artisan's Energy there and end off in very weird predicaments.
Now of course when you succeed your Artisan's Energy is going to reset, so we wish you the best of luck and not getting your Artisan's Energy to 100% because it's more ideal to just succeed earlier right. But as you get to these higher levels, you're going to need to rely on the system more, so making sure not to mess it up and do it the right way is very important for getting the best value on your honing attempts.
Tip 2 - Understand the Value of Solar Graces, Solar Blessings, and Dolar Protections
Speaking of these additional materials, it's very important to understand the value of your Solar Graces, Solar Blessings, and Dolar Protections.
Why Should You Know The Value of Solar Items?
Because in Tier 1 and Tier 2, it was really easy, there were only one of these additional materials you had your Moon's Breath and Star's Breath; but now in Tier 3, there are three different types and it's really important to know how these actually work here. It's very similar to like in tier one and tier two, but now you can use three of these and each one has maximum like. For example, we have a 30% honing success rate, we can add up to 12 Solar Graces which is going to give us another 10% which goes to 40%. We can add up to 6 Solar Blessings which is going to give me another 10% and then we can add up to 2 Solar Protections for that final 10% there. So there's a limit as to how many of each of these additional materials we can use, each of these is going to max out at 10% though. So it's important to know the value of what it's going to cost or what these materials are worth versus how much additional honing success rate they're giving us.
What is the Value of Solar Items?
2 solar graces are equivalent in value to 1 solar blessing and theN it uses up to 6 solar blessings and up to 2 solar protections, 3 solar blessings are equivalent in value to 1 solar protection.
That's really important when it comes to like gauging the price of these materials off the market and as a general rule of thumb here: because two solar braces are equivalent to one solar protection, the best value for these additional materials is going to end up being these solar graces.
Tip 3 - Knowing The Best Place To Get Additional Honing Materials
This is another very important one that has to do with these additional honing materials and that is knowing the best place to actually get these.
Mari's Shop vs Market, Where is the Best Place To Buy Honing Mats?
The Mari's Shop is actually going to be the best source for these additional honing materials and so this is something that you're going to constantly be doing as you work on your gear is kind of figuring out what stuff is going to cost you in Mari's Shop compared to what it's going to cost you in the market.
For example, here we've got ourselves 20 solar graces that are available at the Mari's Shop for a price of 80 blue crystals, and if we were to buy 80 blue crystals off of the exchange here, you know we can get 95 of them for like 700-750 gold, so 80 blue crystals are going to cost like 600-650 gold which is going to end up being enough to buy those 20 solar braces. Now if we were to buy solar braces off the market here, they're over 100 LSOT AK gold each, so 20 of these would actually cost over 2,000 gold, versus the 600 to 650 gold that it would cost in the Mari's Shop, we're getting more than three times.
This was just an example, it's not going to be this good for every single item, but it's a calculation and little trick that you could use for basically every item and resource in Tier 3 to ask yourself the question of "is it going to be better to end up getting these in the Mari's Shop or the market?".
Obviously, if you have a bunch of these materials and resources from other sources that are bound you want to end up using those ones first, but if it comes to buying stuff that you need more of you always want to ask yourself what's going to be the cheapest source the Mari's Shop or the market.
Tip 4 - Do Solo Chaos Dungeons Running For Farm Honing Mats
We're going to end up heading up to the Chaos Dungeons and go over the best way to run chaos Dungeons if your goal is specifically to be getting as many resources as you can to hone your gear from 1340 to 1370.
Best Way To Running Chaos Dungeons for Gear Upgrade Materials
A very important emphasis on running chaos dungeons is that: don't end up doing this in a group, and what we are talking about is doing your solo infinite Chaos after you've used your aura of resonance. After you've used your aura of resonance stopping after the second room, after you end up killing the red boss, please do not do this in a group though it's going to piss a lot of people off. Because when you join a group, a lot of people are expecting that you're going to complete the entire content, so if you just leave after the boss in a group, it's just a scumbag thing to do.
On top of the efficiency in getting more of the shards of purification per hour, the red boss is going to be one of the best sources for these tier three guardian stones and destruction stones, so you're actually going to start to notice these rack up a lot quicker if you do chaos dungeons with this method here.
Another thing is you're going to be getting a lot of these shards of purification as well, the tier 3 infinite Chaos shop is a bit tricky here. Because it looks like there's a lot of materials, but as you end up buying more and more stuff, the price is going to increase and all of this stuff is tradable. So we highly recommend that you actually don't end up using any of the stuff in the tier 3 shop and you actually sell it. What you want to do is you need to always be looking for the best value that you can. You can sell these items and use the gold for other items that you're going to need for your progression because in a lot of cases using materials that are tradable is like the last source of materials that you use.
Tip 5 - Do Una's Tasks or Use Una's Tokens To Get Leap Stones
Speaking of how incredibly overpriced the leap stones are, when you need more of these, a little trick that we recommend here is your Una's Tasks. So you can only end up doing three of these per day. You should probably be picking Una's Tasks that end up giving you resources that you need like these honor leap stones.
But if you still feel like you end up needing more, what you can actually do is use these Una's Tokens. You can get these Una's Tasks [Daily] +1 in the Mari's Shop and you can also get them from the events. Buying leap stones off the market costs you like a thousand plus gold, so spending 300 gold for Una's Tokens to get four or five of these instead of a thousand gold off the market is going to be a pretty darn big discount.
