Lost Ark's main gameplay revolves around its remarkable raid design, but that also comes with various progression systems attached to it. With Tier 4 just around the corner, significant changes will be making their way to these systems, and some of them have already received major updates (Elixirs and Transcendence). This makes right now a great time to step back and reflect on our long journey through Tier 3, as well as on all the systems we've interacted with so far.
Thanks to the fantastic feedback received from the community, we've decided to expand the poll and tier lists series, including additional topics beyond classes and raids. In this poll, we aim to understand the community's subjective views on each core gearing system, covering aspects such as user experience, time to complete, and costs.
Remember, this is about your own personal experience with the systems and how you feel about them. Some systems may overlap - for instance, you can't build engravings without accessories. All things considered, please try your best to evaluate each system independently.
Ranking Criteria
5: Perfectly designed system, wouldn't change anything.
4: Pretty good system, I would only change a thing or two.
3: Ok system, I would prefer some big changes.
2: Pretty bad system, is not enjoyable and needs significant changes.
1: Absolutely terrible system, should be removed.
Have Not Attempted: For any systems you have not experienced before.
For utmost precision, we urge you not to base your votes on what the community thinks!
The poll will be open from July 25th 2024 to July 29th 2024, and once it is finalized, a tier list will be created to reflect your opinions and perceptions on the core systems of Lost Ark!
