in Korean server you just need to play the game and you get the drops.
You also get gold from playing the game...
You even earn OILS from Daily Challenge rewards.
The American / European servers are nothing but a scam to milk money from dumb westerners.
Do not spend money on the game and you gonna be fine.
If you spend money, a few months from now, they introduce new gear and all your money spend will be in vain, then you'll have to spend it all again.
Do not "whale", just play the free game.

2017 I said what they would do to demon stones and what would happen to server populations.
fanboys said I was nuts. ROFL
Once Lost Ark reach the west this game is 100% doomed, not too long now.
