As a one main Enjoyer and day 1 Player I have finally escaped Kadan Jail and achieved los30.
I bought 0 Mari card pack. I did card run for a year on my main but that did not net me any los cards. I always do card island whenever they pop up unless it was gold island. I also bought card pack from stronghold shop daily. I have never made an alt.

Very impressive doing it on 1 singular character! Nice stats and build!
Lucky. I do raids on 5-6 characters weekly, also no Maris but ocassional extra card runs like Argos.
Still a few cards away. Guess that's RNG and also why cards should not be part of gatekeeping.
that's exactly why people gatekeep on card tho
From my experience, people who've been playing the game since day 1 are better than the whales who overgear the content, since they actually have to learn mechanics.
So many dogshit full 10 gem players who cant dodge mechanics correctly.
From my experience that's quite the opposite. Better players are those who put more efforts into the game: time, money, or mostly likely the both. People with LoS 30 nowadays are either veterans that have been playing for long time, or newcomers who swipe to catch the progress, which both are likely care about the game and will to put more effort into their skills. This is why I always gatekeep LoS30 on pug these days because it's the most effective way of finding experienced raid members.Besides that, you can easily tell if a whale is legit by his roster level and gem distribution. A low-roster characters with full lvl 10 gems are likely to be a rmter who seek to beat raid through overwhelmingly dmg, which I would never invite into my group. That being said, they are still better than those self-claimed experienced players with minimal ilvl, because I would never know their real performance.
Many people don't know how much a geared player can carry a pug run. This week I did a akkan nm run on my alt glavier with only 1 wipe on g3. It appears to be a clear run, but the fact is that I did 30%+ dmg on g1 and g3, leaving only <60% dmg distribution for the rest raid members considering the sidereal usage. I can tell the run would be much worse without me because the damage check could be really tight if I did a average ~12dmg% like the rest, without even considering the loss of raid members due to the increased combat time and pattern numbers.
I just sit here wondering why you think that all people like that have low roster level or that their chars are not geared well just because no LoS30. But you do you. Never joined those kind of parties anyway, they tend to turn toxic at the littlest thing even when no wipe happens.
That's cool, most p2w players are kinda clueless anyway.
I'm really curious is gold and silver income from 1 character enough to reach that GS, also the materials and gems. Feels kinda unrealistic.
Silver was super bad at the start of the game, but lost ark is one of those games where you have a lot of downtime between the release of new raid. So, things like that accumulate overtime when all you do is login to do your dailies and weekly raids and don’t have to hone because you have reached the ilevels for the next legion raid (not like you can do a lot of taps anyway per week with just farm mats). They also have been giving away a good amount of silver through event lately. So, it wasn’t too bad until now where I’ll hover between 1-7m silver. For gold, beside the accumulation of it because of already reaching the minimum ilevel for the next content ( I try to do the hardest difficulty if I can or it is more cost effective to just hold and get a 3 piece of gear for me to hone to 1600 to do Hard AKKan). I also try to maximize when I personally think the mats are better being sold than keeping it for personal use. TLDR: Min max the hell out of your limited resources. Hope that answer some of your questions.

It is I reached 1580 in 2-3months. Honing costs are backloaded maybe he have been lucky
He just replied in other comment that he didnt spend a dime i the game….suspicious tbh
My main question to op is that there's some general hearsay on Reddit that people who only have 1 char will definitely be 1620 by release. Bunch people who hate alts describing stories of their guildies who are close to 1620 with 1 main already. No one bothers to mention luck or swiping.
In your opinion how valid are those stories. You seem like a committed day 1 player so you would have the best feel for whether those 1620 stories are extreme luck cases
fwiw, 1 main is very different from 1 character total. The former is funneling gold from cheap alts while the latter has only what they make from 1 char.
i specifically meant 1 char (first sentence) but accidentally changed the 1 char to 1 main
I believe it actually but only with solid, solid life skill and crafting. If you were diligent with that stuff the last couple years you could make as much or more than 18 legion raid characters not doing it but with ... Well, not 1/6 the cost because mains are always a lot more expensive than alts but probably 1/2 the cost.
Congrats, very impressive. How much did you spend on game overall? Im just curious if you achieved this ilvl without much spending or you need to spend to keep up.
A bit shameless of me to said, but I have not spent a dime in the game.

I have found out that trying to maximize your damage and damage uptime is a lot of fun and makes raid not feel like homework.
This post is BS. Either the guy is the luckiest motherfucker ever (like 10-10 stone lucky), which is highly unlikely. Or there was a lot of whaling done. Or some other shenanigans are going on. There is absolutely no way to get LoS 30 with only 1 char and no whaling until now from release.
I think its entirely possible to get LOS30, what is not possible is getting 16 Kadan cards. Complete bs, dudes bought 3+1 monthly packs all year.
I mean. It definitely screams sketchy to me. There is no way a single hero roster player can have LoS30 w/o having bought card packs at least.
I'm a single character enjoyer too, but I bought like 15x of the mari Leg-rare packs as well as the 3x+1 pack a single time, and I finished my LOS30 about 2 months ago. So I can believe it
Yeah its totally doable.
You miss regular drops, yeah. But you still get all selectors, event packs and stuff like that.
I finished los30 in februar and since then i probably dropped 40 more los cards
On top of those gems, nah I don't buy it tbh, something is off.
Hm.. gems and gear is hard to say. I played a single character roster for a very long time, from day 1 all the way until like Oct of last year ish, so I know what 1 hero roster income is like and it is basically all gone just from hone'n, buying books and accessories. There would be legit no gold for gems and definitely no gold for buying mari packs. Yes, the game did give a lot more cards and free selectors, which there would be quite a bit from being a day 1 player, but single income account won't have gold to buy selector packs from weekly card dung either, nor from max'n frogs really. He must have spent real money to buy some things, maybe not a lot, but must have invested a good bit in fish maybe with a one time purchase and a few card packs here and there..
Prob the best way to play the game. Doesnt require endless hours and at your own pace
do you get bored doing only one playstyle and one set of weeklies ?
Honestly, in the beginning yes. After the honey moon phase wore off, I just login do my dailies/weekly raid real quick and go do other things. I still enjoy the raids, but once they become homework it is whatever. They are just gold and mats resource for me.
That’s a waste of gold right there, where you could have made 5 DeBbies
How long do you actually play the game per week?
What is your play time?
Honestly not surprised you are 1600+ with 1 character after 20 months but I am still impressed you could resist the temptation of not making alts with the powerpasses and expresses we got.
I typically play the game like 1-2 hours a day. On the weekend, maybe a bit more depend on how long pug raiding takes (Sometime you get jail but it is what it is happens).
Grats ! I’m surprised you don’t get tempted to try new classes. I’m a casual player and I just want to try everything 🥲 So many cool classes
Nice dude i have LOS 6 let’s get it
Bestie what do you mean YOUVE never made an alt, how do u function
Can you share your gems/engraving set up with us?
I posted my gems/engraving set up.
Congrats!!

Grats! I'm three natural pulls away from hitting LoS30. I've got enough selectors right now if I include the new ones that have Kadan/Thaemine but I'm thinking of saving them for KLC.
So close but so far, but I know that I'll arrive at the destination all the same!
It’s also COMPLETELY rng based so I don’t see why people are saying this is impossible.
csb
I’ll give you the one character legend crown
I need one kadan since a month for LOS 30, or 9 thirain. It's so frustrating!!
Congrats!! This is actually poggers, I feel very happy for you even tho we don't know each other. Way to go and hats off!
How do you restrain yourself from collecting all the free stuff from express events?
Especially when they give selectors once you reach the end of it.
At this point, i am afraid to ask if he even knew about the selectors.
He has reached true zen.
Only logical thing would be resisting the rabbit hole. You make an alt with rewards, you like it, you invest in it, you like it more, you invest in it, you get addicted, then sunk cost fallacy sets in and you can't abandon it, next thing you know you're selling TVs and turning tricks to afford all the skins/hones/quality/accessories/gems for your 24 characters.
just make zerk or sorc to be sure u wont enjoy it.
TBH I've stopped caring about the express stuff. Most of the time the investment you make in a character is more of a drain than what you gain. The "Best" is probably the gems, but if I don't have the character in the first place, the gems don't matter lmao
If you make a new char from scratch maybe. I have a special character designated for express events when I don't feel like making a new alt, since they usually raise the bar a little with each event I sometimes only had to push like 15-30 GS, so the rewards easily outweigh the costs (mostly the selector pack).
Ofc the 1540
