Events

As players strive to reach the Item Levels required for existing and upcoming endgame content on either their main character or an alternate character, we’ve planned a suite of events to support players.

While the number of events listed below may feel overwhelming all at once, we wanted to separate the rewards into various events so that players were able to mix and match or focus all the events onto a single character, providing options and the best support for their journey into Lost Ark’s endgame.

Elgacia Event Powerpass

An Event Powerpass that will drop players off in Elgacia at Item Level 1460 will be granted to all players. Powerpasses can be claimed and used until July 17, at which point it will expire if the powerpass has not been used.

There are no restrictions for players to use the Powerpass (apart from not being able to use it on a character above the target Item Level), but trading on the Auction House will be blocked for 3 days if the player does not have at least one character at Item Level 1490 to prevent bot abuse.

Super Mokoko Express

Descend into Darkness

Brace yourself for the upcoming onslaught of the Darkness Legion and its leader—the most powerful Demon Commander—Thaemine.

Road to Thaemine has been renamed to Descend into Darkness as players prepare for the Darkness Legion Commander’s arrival in April. The rewards differ slightly from previous iterations of the event, and is built to help progress a single character quickly from 1580 to 1600, with additional support as players approach Thaemine at Item Level 1610. This special event includes:

    • 2x Artisan’s Energy when honing Akkan Ancient Gear from 1580 to 1600.

The event it can be used on a single character, which cannot be changed or transferred, between Item Level 1580 to 1600, and will last until July 17.

Please note there are several known issues with the Descend into Darkness Event.

  • In some places, the Descend into Darkness Event is incorrectly named "Road of the Breaker".

  • The event incorrectly states that the benefits apply to 1560 from 1580. The actual levels are 1580 to 1600.

  • When designating a character for the Descend into Darkness event players will see messaging in-game that states that you can change your event character one time. This is incorrect, and you will be locked into the first character you choose for that event. You cannot change this character. Please also note that Customer Support will not be able to assist with any changes to a new character for the event.

Rather than delay the release, the incorrect name and text lines will be fixed in a future update. Thank you for your understanding.
