Heroes of Arkesia,
The November “Feast with Friends” Update arrives in Arkesia tomorrow. Downtime for the update will begin on November 16 at 12AM PDT (8AM UTC) and is expected to last 4 hours. From the Reaper Advanced Class (a deadly new weapon on the battlefield) to bountiful progression events, daily log-in rewards, and a swathe of impactful quality of life adjustments, this update is all about stocking up on valuable in-game items and feasting with friends to prepare for the gauntlet of powerful end-game challenges arriving next month. Find the full list of quality of life improvements, events, cosmetics, balance changes and other updates below.
Spotlight
Reaper Advanced Class
The Reaper joins the Deathblade and Shadowhunter as the third Assassin Advanced Class. Reapers are true masters of stealth. From powerful back-attacks inflicted by their daggers to misleading opponents by vanishing and summoning clones, Reapers have a variety of tools at their disposal to vanquish whatever threat crosses their path. Learn more about the Reaper’s Class Identity, Engravings and Skills in the Reaper Lost Ark Academy.
New Progression Events - Punika Powerpass & Hyper Express
Players will receive a Punika Powerpass after completing Punika's quest “Berver's Friend” during (or before) the event period, delivered via in-game mail. The Punika Powerpass will function like the North Vern Powerpasses available to all players in the launch version of Lost Ark— once you’ve completed the storyline of that continent, you can use the Powerpass to bring an alternate character to that point in the game. With the Punika Powerpass, you'll receive Item Level 1302 gear. This is an event Powerpass, and will expire on January 18, 2023. After the Powerpass is received through in-game mail and redeemed, it may display 'no-limit' on the expiration date, but it must be used by a character before it expires on January 18, 2023.
Pairing well with the Punika Powerpass, a new Hyper Express event arrives in this update. Players will be able to designate one character between Item Level 1302 and 1445 on their roster to participate in the Hyper Express Event to earn honing materials and level up quickly. The designated character will earn rewards from missions when increasing their Item Level to 1445— which grants a particularly valuable reward. Like the Punika Powerpass, character designation will end on January 18, 2023. Missions can be completed until February 8, 2023.
For players awaiting the release of the Summoner Advanced Class, please note that both progression events will be active for its releases next month, and can be saved to use on the Summoner. No additional Powerpasses or Express events will be added in the next major update as these events will be active throughout December.
Tripod Update
The method through which Tripod Skill tree upgrades are transferred to gear has been revamped to simplify the system. Before, Skill tree effect transferred to gear, and players would then equip that gear to gain the Tripod’s Skill tree effect. Now, Skill tree effect transfers directly to the character’s Skill book. Players can select the Skill tree that they want to use in the combat skill menu (K) to use the Skill tree effect.
