Lost Ark March Spring Update Patch Notes

Spotlight Patch Notes

Artist Advanced Class

  • The Artist is capable of tactical versatility with illusion powers from her brush and specializes in supporting her team.
  • With her magical brush and flowing ink, the Artist can either attack foes directly or summon holy beasts by painting them.
  • While the Artist’s attack power is on the low side, she can support allies and rescue them from peril with her illusion powers— making her a welcome member of any party.
  • Learn more about the Artist’s Class Identity, Engravings, and Skills at the Artist Lost Ark Academy.

Tulubik Battlefield

  • Fight for more than just glory.
    • Select your Faction,
    • earn rewards, and
    • determine the fate of Rowen in 96-player (48 v 48) Realm versus Realm matches. Will you maintain order or unleash rebellion?
  • You need to be Faction Rank 3 and Item Level 1490 to enter Tulubik Battlefield.
    • To play the new mode,
      • Click the “Rowen Battlefield” icon on the minimap (under Welcome Challenge)
      • or go to the battlefield entrance at either Regarbank Great Plains or Fighter’s Haven.
      • You can also enter from other places like major cities, always available islands, and your Stronghold.

Arkesia Grand Prix

  • The fan-favourite Naruni Racing event returns a year after its Western debut!
  • In this mode, two teams of seven players (7v7) will compete against each other, racing around a course while transforming while preventing the other team from progressing.
  • Earn event coins that can be exchanged for various impactful rewards such as a Naruni Mount Selection Chest, honing materials, and more.
  • An NPC named “Arkesia Grand Prix Manager” will arrive in every major city to help you enter the event, granting an “[Event][Daily] Go to the Arena!” quest for players to gain entry.
  • Players must be level 50 to enter the event.

Ark Pass Season 3

  • Ark Pass Season 3 adds new ways for players to earn meaningful rewards just by playing the game.
    • Players can complete missions to progress through 30 Ark Pass levels, and with each level reached, new rewards will be unlocked and earned.
    • The regular Ark Pass is completely free and grants various helpful rewards, such as Pheons, honing material selection chests, a Legendary Card Pack, and even the Chromarong Pet!
    • Ark Pass progress is earned across your entire roster, and the rewards are roster bound.
  • While all players will have access to the free Ark Pass, those interested in more rewards and cosmetics can exchange Royal Crystals for two premium reward tracks (Premium & Super Premium).
    • Each layer is an additional reward to the levelling track. The Premium Ark Pass adds rewards at all 30 levels earned alongside the free rewards.
    • Some examples include more Dark Priest Honing Material Selection Chests, battle items, Tier 3 Gem Chests, and the Dark Priest Warhorse Mount!
  • On top of the Regular & Premium rewards, the Super Premium Ark Pass weaves the Dark Priest skin collection, the Dark Priest Wallpaper, and a Legendary Card Pack through the 30 levels of the Ark Pass.
  • The Premium pass is available in exchange for 1,500 Royal Crystals, and the Super Premium (all rewards & the Dark Priest skins) for 3,000 Royal Crystals.
    • If you start off Premium, you can upgrade to Super Premium for an additional 1,500 Royal Crystals.
    • The Premium and Super Premium Ark Passes will be available through the in-game Ark Pass UI until May 10, and mission progress can be earned until June 6.

Progression Events

    • The Punika Powerpass will function like the North Vern Powerpasses available to players in the launch version of Lost Ark.

    • With this version of the Punika Powerpass, you’ll receive Item Level 1340 gear.

Hyper Express Plus & Engraving Support

  • Pairing well with the Punika Powerpass, players can designate one character between item 1340 and 1445 on their roster to participate in the Hyper Express Plus Event.
    • Here players will earn by honing materials to level up to Item Level 1445 and beyond quickly.
    • The designated character will earn rewards every 15 Item Levels up to 1445, including a wealth of Silver, honing materials, Gems, Engravings, and even a Legendary Card Selection Pack!

    • Click the Engraving Support button to open the page and select your 4 desired Engravings.
    • Press the Toggle Engraving Support button to start using their effects.

Story Express

  • Clear story missions to level up a character from Item level 1 to 1340 and earn rewards like Item Level 1340 Argos Legendary Gear that will help you progress even further.
    • With progression to Item Level 1340, the Story Express event also allows you to take advantage of Hyper Express Plus and more easily get any new character up to Item Level 1445.

Any character that has not yet completed the ‘On the Border’ quest from Rethamis can become a designated Story Express character. Select Story Express Character through the ‘Event Quest’ window and clear story missions for valuable progression materials. Story completion rewards include Crystalline Aura (14 days), Epic Class Engraving Recipe Selection Pouch, Epic Combat Engraving Recipe Selection Pouch, and additional honing materials.
