Patch/The Art of War

The Art of War is the March 2023 update for Lost Ark. It was released on March 15, 2023.

Summary

Downtime for the update will begin on March 15, 2023 (12 AM PDT / 7 AM UTC) and is expected to last 4 hours. Put your PvP skills to the test in a new 96-player (48v48) Realm versus Realm mode, support allies in creative ways with the new Artist Advanced Class, experience a host of Quality of Life (QoL) updates and read through the comprehensive balance changes in this release. There's also a variety of impactful progression events which include a Punika Powerpass and Hyper Express Plus Event to quickly level up new characters.

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 choose to attack foes directly or summon holy beasts by painting them. While the Artist's attack power is on the low side, she is capable of providing strong support to allies, and rescuing them from peril with her illusion powers— making her a welcome member of any party.

Tulubik Battlefield

Fight for more than just glory. Select your Faction, earn rewards, and determine the fate of Rowen in 96-player (48v48) 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 on 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-favorite 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 transformed while preventing the other team from progressing. Earn event coins that can be exchanged for a variety of 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 a variety of 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) which each layer in additional rewards to the leveling 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

Punika Powerpass

Players will receive a Punika Powerpass after completing Punika's quest "Berver's Friend" during, or before, the event period. The Punika Powerpass will function like the North Vern Powerpasses available to players in the launch version of Lost Ark— once you've completed the storyline through that continent, you can use it to bring an alternate character to that point in the game. With this version of the Punika Powerpass, you'll receive Item Level 1340 gear.

Hyper Express Plus

Pairing well with the Punika Powerpass, players will be able to designate one character between item Level 1340 and 1445 on their roster to participate in the Hyper Express Plus Event, where they'll earn honing materials to quickly level up to Item Level 1445 and beyond. 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!

Engraving Support

As a new feature available with the Hyper Express Plus, the Engraving Support system lets players choose 4 engravings to be in effect at level 3 during the event. Here's how to get started:

• After selecting a Hyper Express Plus character, the Engraving Support button will light up.
• Click the Engraving Support button to open the Engraving Support page and select your 4 desired Engravings.
• Press the Toggle Engraving Support button to start using their effects.

The effects of Engraving Support will also be shown in your Character Profile.

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 sets you up 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. Skipped quests via a Powerpass or Knowledge Transfer will not offer Story Express completion rewards.

You can only designate one Story Express character per account. If you delete your Story Express character, you will not be able to designate another one.

Log-In Bonuses

This upgraded log-in reward track will support brand new and returning players with 15 days of rewards to help kickstart their journey through Arkesia. It includes new and improved bonuses including Engraving Recipe Selection Chests (Uncommon to Legendary), a variety of Honing Material Selection Chests, Pheons, and a Legendary - Epic Card Pack. These bonuses will be only be applied for new and returning players (absent for 30+ days) who log in after the March Update.
