Building rapport with anyone, especially Lost Ark NPCs, can feel like a chore. Thar is no exception, especially since it takes a few days to start being his friend. He is one of the NPCs who requires you to fulfill several requirements before unlocking and building rapport with him. Why can’t some people make being friends with them easy? It’s a good thing there’s always a way to make NPCs talk in Lost Ark!
Unlocking Rapport With Thar in Lost Ark
Unlocking Thar in Lost Ark requires three prerequisites: complete the World Quest in Vern, reach 150 Courage, and reach 150 Kindness. Once those three things are out of the way, it’s just a matter of following the quests starting with Ealyn’s Summon. It’s important to understand that since these quests are time-gated, you can only complete them once a day, totaling five days that you’ll need to unlock Thar.

- Heed Queen Ealyn’s request in Vern Castle.
- Investigate Candaria’s Holy Statue
- Purify the Holy Stone Lacrimosa and find out what kind of magic is affecting the statue.
- The Moon Looking at the Sky
- Talk to Commander Avele about the development of new weapons technology.
- Eye of the Typhoon
- Meet with the Senate in Vern Castle.
- Sunset
- Meet the now resurrected Thar.
