Heroes of Arkesia,
This week, our standard Wednesday maintenance will have a bigger batch of changes than a standard weekly update. We’re excited to incorporate some key progression changes based on player feedback! Downtime will begin on July 24 at 12 a.m. PT (7 a.m. UTC) and is expected to last up to 4 hours.
Before we dive into the updates, we’re excited to share that all players will be granted a 2024 Swimsuit Skin! We appreciate your ongoing support and passion for Lost Ark, and hope this helps you relax in the Arkesian sun during the summer months as we head toward Tier 4. We’ll let you know when this has been delivered to your Product Inventory, stay tuned to our social channels or the official Lost Ark Discord.
General Updates
Elixir Updates
Improved Elixir to select an option for the last slot when refining an Elixir
When players try to refine the last slot a new "Select Refinement Effect" UI is opened, where players can select desired effects in the UI.
However, the below effects cannot be selected from the UI.
The effects have been already applied to slots 1 - 4.
The effect applied to the same piece that has been already selected in slot 1 - 4 (For example, if you have already selected glove exclusive to slot 1 - 4, you cannot select glove exclusive effect to slot 5.)
Added an option to skip Sage's cutscenes. This options will stop playing Sage's cutscenes during the refining process.
Transcendence Updates
Conditions required to meet initial Elzowin's Grace have been reduced.
Level 1 - 3: Previous 7 times reduced to 4 times
Level 4 - 5: Previous 10 times reduced to 5 times
Level 6 - 7: Previous 12 times reduced to 6 times
Conditions required to increase Elzowin's Grace level have been eased
Previous: Complete or stop transcendence 3 times
Change: Complete or stop transcendence 2 times
If transcendence is in progress at the time of the update, the adjusted Elzowin's Grace level will only apply if that Transcendence is completed or stopped.
Added an option to speed up the Transcendence animation. This will speed up the animation of destroying Ancient Steles.
Solo Mode
Players can select Annihilation or Crimson Flame Gems when buying 6/7 level gems in the Solo Mode exchange.
Added weekly purchase limit per character for each gem with a max of 11.
Added bound Leapstones to the Solo mode clear rewards.
Honing material rewards increased.
Super Mokoko Express
The Super Mokoko Express Event will be changed to allow the event to be activated on any character under item level 1620. After the conclusion of this maintenance, any players who have already picked a character for the event will be able to re-initiate the event in-game and pick a new (or the same) character to activate it on. Please note that any rewards already collected from the Super Mokoko Express Event will not be granted a second time following the update. You will still receive the event honing buffs on the character you choose, and will be able to earn any rewards that you did not already earn on the newly selected character.
Thank you for your feedback and support! We’ll see you in Arkesia.
