O’Zapft is Heroes of Arkesia!
As the nights grow longer and the summer pool parties draw to an end, the fall season of festivals celebrating community and kinship begins. Beginning on September 16, Arkesia will host the first Arktoberfest— a tribute to Oktoberfest, the world's largest Volksfest (people's festival) which features a traveling funfair along with a food and beer festival held annually in Munich, Germany. Kindred in spirit to the original, Arktoberfest is a time to build relationships, celebrate with friends old and new alike, all through the medium of an abundance of delicious food and drink. In the coming weeks, you'll find themed festival foods in-game and all-new cosmetics available as Twitch Drops to help you, your raiding parties, and your Lost Ark communities celebrate Arktoberfest together.
Arktoberfest In-game Items
Beer-head Twitch Drop
Starting today and lasting until October 3, members of the Lost Ark Creator Program have access to the all-new Beer-head cosmetic Twitch Drop to enable on their channels! Make sure to head over to Twitch and watch your favorite Lost Ark content creators to earn your selection chest, where you can choose between Lager, Indian Pale Ale, or Stout.
Viewers will need to accumulate 4 hours of watch-time in participating Lost Ark streams to claim this Drop reward. Full instructions on account linking and claiming can be found on our Twitch Drops page.
Weekend Fever-time Event
Celebrate Arktoberfest with special festival food! During the weekends of Arktoberfest (based on server-time), the Fever-time button will be activated to claim unique food to help you and your raid parties in battle. These rewards can be claimed once per day each weekend— on the 17 & 18, and the 22, 23, 24, & 25 of September. Make sure to claim the following items in-game:
- Festival Sausage: Temporarily increases Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence +3000, Combat Resource Natural Recovery +24%, and Attack Speed +2%.
- Festival Pretzel: Temporarily increases Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence +6000, and Crit Rate +1%.

Final Arktoberfest weekend
On the final weekend, a special 4-day Fever-time event will take place from September 30 to October 3. Each day, rewards can be claimed through the button normally— but a special track will also be active that grants a bonus prize. This extra reward track can be progressed through by logging and playing for 30 minutes each day. Once you meet the daily requirements, the next prize is reached. You only earn one prize, claimable at the end of the event, based on the number of days you met the requirements.
Prepare for Arktoberfest at Gesbroy Island
If you’d like to fully embrace the spirit of Arktoberfest, there’s no place to better prepare than Gesbroy Island. An island home to a world-famous Umar establishment where hand-crafted beers are brewed to perfection, you can experience the best drink Arkesia has to offer. If you haven’t been there yet, make sure to complete the island’s main quests:
- The Wide World of Beers
- A Grand Old Time
Completion rewards include Lager Doll Mask, Ale Doll Mask and Stout Doll Mask— toys that allow you to turn into a beer glass— perfect for celebrating Arktoberfest! If you want to continue working on quests that explore this legendary brewery, there are Una’s Tasks and Co-op Quests that take place on the island.
Una’s Task Quests
Gesbroy Island Soul is one of the final rewards of Una’s Task Reputation completion of Gesbroy. The three Una’s Tasks require participation in the co-op events listed below.
- A Great Beer Snack
- An Even Better Beer Snack
- The Beer Snack to End All Beer Snacks
Co-op Quests
A set of 3 quests runs every hour. If you fail to complete the current quest progress in the given time, the next quest does not occur. Completing all three quests rewards a title and the items needed to complete Una’s Task quests.
- The Secret of the Sweet Beer: Collect honey from honeybees and beehives.
- The Secret of the Clean Beer: Help the Umar and carry water barrels.
