The three trinkets dropping from Fyrakk in the Amirdrassil raid are now marked as Very Rare in the dungeon journal, indicating that we will likely see them a lot less, but also increasing their item level further beyond the rest of the raid's loot — currently listed at 470 on Normal, 483 for Heroic, and 496 on Mythic difficulty — making these the highest official item levels in the game… at least until we get more details on Fyr'alath the Dream Render! There's a Very Rare trinket for each primary role, with Augury increasing the damage of critical strikes, Blossom triggering extra healing, and the Rageheart creating a stagger-like absorption shield with some extra damaging components mixed in. Earlier this month, we showcased many of the special effect weapons and trinkets coming with the Amirdrassil raid in Dragonflight Patch 10.2, which Blizzard has been steadily updating as the PTR cycle continues.

Undaunted abandons WWII, heads in a ‘different direction’ with spacefaring sequel
It was retail magnate Marshall Field who allegedly said we should “give the lady what she wants.” What she wants in 2023 is, ever more increasingly it would seem, to punch a large corporation in the mouth. The team at Osprey Games is happy to oblige like-minded anti-establishment types with Undaunted 2200: Callisto, coming to market some time in 2024. Gone are the heavy dad-vibes of an octogenarian’s World War II fantasy, replaced instead by a near-future conflict pitting vile corporations against their poorly treated workers.

For the new player in Lost Ark, choosing a class can be daunting for many different reasons that can be specific to the player. Some players want the class fantasy, but it either may not be available or said fantasy may not be “good”. Some players want a class that fits their playstyle, but again, the fear of said playstyle not being good enough for PvE is a real concern.

Thaemine Has Finally Arrived in KR Lost Ark - Who Will Claim World First?
Through its great and not-so-great times, ups and downs, and numerous iterations, Lost Ark has always hallmarked itself through its raids, and for good reason. They look fantastic, are always chock full of mechanics, and are constantly testing the limits of even the most seasoned players.
