Lost Ark
Honing and Raids
Lost Ark gold disappears into honing if you let it. Push the character you actually raid on. Park the rest before they eat your weekly gold.
One main, then supports
Honing five characters a little is how none of them enter the raid you wanted. Pick a main. Gear that.
Bound gold and unbound gold are different budgets. Do not smash both into a hone you cannot fail-stack this week.
Raids are a homework list
Learn the mech once in a teaching run. Wiping because nobody watched a pattern is a roster problem, not a DPS problem.
Card sets and gems matter more than a 0.2% hone. Spend on the things that always apply.
Rested is a gift
If you hate daily chaos, use rested. Burnout is how people quit before the raid they honed for.
