Lost Ark Patch Note “Under the Archesia Sun”
FEATURED: EVENTS AND FEATURES
EVENT GUARDIANS
Event Guardians return to Archesia! Discover a different version of Guardian Raids in which you will face three Guardians (solo or in a group) in an arena subject to the balance of harmony. To enter the arena, you will need to have reached combat level 50 and item level 250. Your objective will be to attack the event guardian to make him drop bonuses, which will accumulate up to thrice. The bonuses will grant you a colossal damage increase. Once all three Guardians have been defeated, tokens will drop into a reward chest that you can open once per day per character. You will be able to spend the tokens obtained from an event vendor, who will offer you different rewards to earn each week.
FAMILY RANCH
The Pet Ranch is a new part of the Stronghold where pets can play, become more useful companions, and help you earn valuable rewards. The adorable pets are ready to help their noble owners by creating jelly cookies and gaining pet expertise to level up and unlock new abilities.
Pets can become Legendary by reaching maximum Pet Expertise and spending Pet Growth Symbols, which you will get in exchange for Jelly Cookies. Once a pet becomes legendary, various features are unlocked. Legendary pets get a powerful skill (random), and at random intermittent intervals, one of the three effects granted by the skill will be applied to you during battles. There are 6 pet skills that the pet can unlock or exchange randomly.
Learn more about the Pet Ranch, Legendary Pets, and rewards to earn in the Lost Ark Academy dedicated to the Pet Ranch!
MAHARAKA FESTIVAL: FLOURISHING MOKOKOS
The leaves of the Maharaka tree, which grows in the Maharaka paradise, are said to bring good luck. Collect as many as you can during the Maharaka Festival, and exchange them for valuable rewards! This month, a new activity is added to the Maharaka festival: the flourishing mokokos. Every hour in Maharaka’s Paradise, collect gold when you find blooming mokokos. The more you find, the better your chances!
