Hone your skills in this MMORPG

Lost Ark is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) set in a fantasy world. This action experience from Smilegate Entertainment lets you choose from a variety of character classes as you grow stronger across seven continents and the waters between them. It lets you experience varying cultures, themes, and monsters.

As an MMORPG game, Lost Ark is similar to MIR4 or Black Desert Online. It has a lot of content to enjoy and missions to accomplish, which makes it long and grindy for some players.

A large world for everyone

Like most MMORPG, your Lost Ark experience starts with choosing one of the multiple character classes such as Martial Artist or Gunner. What sets this game apart from most games in the genre is that it creates distinct gameplay experiences for each class instead of simply visual and skill differences. Also, developers behind the game are looking to the introduction of more classes in the following updates.

In terms of graphics, it’s always important to remember that cinematic trailers are not the same as actual gameplay visuals. This game is an exception. It has realistic character and monster designs available in stunningly high resolution. This level of detail applies across the entire game — whether you’re fighting, crafting, or simply socializing with other players. The game also includes actions that optimize the 3D space, like sliding and jumping attacks.

Lastly, this game has a clear endgame scenario unlike other games such as Warframe. This alone makes the 8-year wait worth it. Also, there’s a clear direction that allows players to keep focused. Of course, it has hundreds of hours of content. As such, it’s easy to be left behind by other players and its PvP system opens weaker players from stronger ones preying on others.

“Lost Ark: The Art of War” Update Unveiled

Lost Ark, the free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), has just unveiled its latest update, entitled “The Art of War.” The update introduces a range of exciting new features to the game.

Craft New Ancient Gear with Brelshaza Hard Mode

Ancient quality gear can now be crafted using materials earned from the incoming hard mode of the Brelshaza legion raid. To do so, players must reach item level 1540 and equip a full six-piece set of Relic gear from the Phantom Legion Commander raid before they can craft the new Ancient gear. The update also brings new tiers of Ancient accessories, available from Brelshaza Hard, the South Vern chaos dungeons, and the new Hanumatan guardian raid.

Challenge Hanumatan in the New Guardian Raid

Hanumatan, a giant, ape-like Solar Guardian, has arrived in Lost Ark and deemed humans the greatest danger to Arkesia. To prove him wrong, players must challenge him in combat, requiring an item level of 1540. If successful in their showdown, they’ll have the chance to get their hands on the Legendary Galewind Rune.

Forge Powerful Sidereal Weapons

Completing the Brelshaza legion raid now has a chance to drop an item called “Sidereal: Galatur’s Will” that can be used to begin a new questline that will allow players to forge and level up new Sidereal weapons. These powerful tools avoid the usual chance involved in honing and are guaranteed to be upgraded when the prerequisites are met. Additionally, players can upgrade them with powerful Sidereal skills, with a free initial upgrade once they reach level six.

Explore Fortunespire’s Tier Three Tower

Fortunespire’s tier three tower has opened with the first 25 floors. Starting at item level 1490 and climbing up incrementally to 1530 at the highest floors, there’s a variety of valuable rewards available from card packs and honing materials to a Skill Point Potion and a Legendary Class Engraving Recipe Selection Chest.

Discover New Lost Cosmetic Collections

As part of the spring update, Lost Ark has also added two new Lost cosmetic collections in the in-game store. The first is a series of spikey, flaming Petranian Knight armor sets, while the other offers players the opportunity to dress up as a ‘butler’ or a maid.

Experience the Thrilling World of Lost Ark

With its stunning graphics, unique gameplay experiences, and clear endgame scenario, Lost Ark is a must-try for MMORPG players everywhere.

There are also numerous collectibles for you to discover, as well as the new Field Boss, Israfel.

This latest update also brings upon a new end-game challenge — The Kayangel Abyssal Dungeon. Take note, though, that this can only be accessed by players that have finished the Elgacia story: Face guardians of light at ‘Eternal Cradle of Light.’ This Abyssal Dungeon features two difficulty modes with their own respective rewards. Each mode still features four gates where you’ll be able to save your progress.

‌In addition to these, the in-game store also has a number of new additions for you to purchase. The largest addition to the store is the summertime swimsuit collection, which includes swimwear, the Windsurfer Mount, as well as Frog pets.
