IMC and introducing gazillion pieces of new equipment on KTest on a bi-weekly basis.

Name a more iconic duo!

[4lkruzeth]

Was at kTest for a bit, ~800 000 Nucle powder along with a lot of Blessed Gems, Sierra Stones and Mystic Pages to bring Lvl 5 to Lvl 7 Ark, then 7 mil (fair enough) to bring it to new Ark. The new Arks have weird stats and I can’t read Korean.

Holy molly…

[TOS TEST] New Ark! Storm | [트오세테섭] 신규아크! 폭풍

I wonder how much lag there will be in a full party

edit: I wonder how it will be on gtw

[Fenatte]

That tini speech bubble is so cute. I wish that its not time limited like the ones we have in content shop already, though its highly likely.

[GarouOldblood]

Caralhien LOLZ. !!!

[Zeucleio]

New ark enhance costs:

Lvl5 got a pretty good cost reduction! Cost before patch for comparison:

[wendel_burqui]

anything new for alchemists / homunculus or IMC didn’t say anything about the class ??

[Zeucleio]

A few interesting things abou the Thunderbolt Ark:

-Thunderbolts can crit (not using ataka in this gif)

-Thunderbolts scale with matk if you attack with magic skills, scales with patk if you attack with physical (Tested this with wizard Z and C autos)

-Thunderbolts are considered Lightning dmg: Yes, tri-disaster increases its damage. With 22700 matk, thunderbolts were hitting for 555k on the maid mob at West Jungers. With tri-disaster, they hit for 888k.

-I’m unsure if the bolts can proc Ataka and Lightning charm. I haven’t seen them proc those yet, but maybe I just got bad luck while testing.

And I’m really glad they made the Force Wave set usable with the normal magic shield. Thanks imc!

[Teokbokki]

waiting for holy ark.

[lastea]

Chaplain AA auto-cast build here we go!

[4lkruzeth]

For those interested in the Wind Ark, Wind Ark is basically for auto-attack Ark that buffs Auto-Attacks based on your basic attack damage.

The Ark itself basically a ~100% skill factor buff based on your basic attack on auto attacks with a chance to proc 3 lines of ~200% skill factor. These 3 lines only cast on auto-attacks, not on skills, and Unleash Wind with the 3 damage lines do not proc auto-attack buff lines either.

For example, lets say your basic attacks deal 100%. With the ark (I’m going to assume 100% boost for simplicity’s sake), your basic attacks will deal 200% damage instead, and casting Unleash wind will add 3 lines of 200% for a total of 800% damage.

Basic Attack with new Ark = 200%
Unleash Wind: 200% + 3(200%) = 800%

For skills like Double Punch that interacts with auto-attacks, the Ark’s damage simply adds on to Double Punch’s damage. Double Punch’s skill factor at Lvl 15 is 318% x 2 = 636%. With the Ark, that damage increases by an addition of 100% of basic attack damage for a total of 636% + 100%. Every time you proc Unleash Wind, you simply get three 200% damage lines on top of that.

Double Punch with new Ark = 636% + 100%
Unleash Wind: (636% + 100%) + 3(200%) = 1336%

Hopefully that clears up what the Wind Ark does.

[4lkruzeth]

About Storm and Thunderbolt Arks,

Both Arks proc independently per target, and also proc per hit, not per skill usage. Lets say I have Fanatic Illusion (~15 hits), anyone getting hit by Fanatic Illusion also has a chance to get hit by Storm or Thunderbolt up to 15 times (I doubt it, the proc rate is quite low, expect at most 3 proc from my testing with Lvl 7 Ark). Lets say I’m hitting 5 mobs at the same time and one proc of Storm/Thunderbolt happens, it does not mean that it happens to all 5 mobs, just individual targets get their own chances to get the proc.

Also, Storm is such a fun mobbing Ark. Lets say one hits 10 mobs constantly and 3 enemies get the Storm proc here and there, that’s basically 3 Storm proc hitting all the mobs. In a mob infested Challenge Mode where you can hit all enemies, that’s basically a fun dice roll.

[megamanex14]

does the Wind Ark also count Additional Damage into the buff?

[4lkruzeth]

From what I can observe, It does not take additional damage into account, only your base attack.

I can’t read Korean so I don’t understand the effect fully as much as I would like to. I’m only getting information based on what I’ve tested and fiddled with, nothing more.

I’ve been testing on mobs in West Jungers Road (first map of EP 12) and found the 3 damage lines from Wind Ark varies widely depending on mobs.

With random un-optimized gear and the Wind Ark, I deal about 18,000 - 20,000 damage per auto-attack on all mobs, and my 3 damage lines also reflect the same damage per line. However, the map has this huge dog mob (Viskal) which the Wind Ark acts differently. While my auto-attacks also deal the same 18,000 - 20,000 damage to the mob, my Unleash Wind proc only dealt 8,000 - 9,000 x 3 on him.

The Wind Ark is a weird Ark, haha.

[megamanex14]

Could be a resistance defense. Wind might be an actual element.

Try removing an damage variables that could get in the way.

Btw are you able to see what Drak access goes into what recipe? If so, could you list them please.

Thx for replying and testing this stuff.

[4lkruzeth]

All I used while testing this was with Savinose equipment with Nepagristas Accessory, without using any buffs other than necessary (Last Rites, Aspergillum, etc). Not much variables to begin with, haha.

Pray to the God of Moonrunes haha.
