Greetings Heroes of Arkesia,

All Lost Ark servers will be taken offline for 3 hours to release a hotfix on Wednesday, October 10th at 12:00 PM PT / 07:00 PM UTC. This hotfix will include the following changes:

• Players will be able to progress through the Main Story Quest in North Kurzan and access Tier 4 as intended.

• On Ignite Servers, the Honing Materials discount text for items in level range of 1580-1620 such as Leapstones, Shards, Protection and Obliteration Stones, and Oreha Materials was incorrectly displayed as 50%. This text has been adjusted to correctly show 60%.

• Removed the Ebony Cube Weekly Una's Task from Ignite Servers.

[h3]Ignite Server Overview[/h3]
To bolster the ranks of players ready to enter Tier 4, a special progression event arrives in the form of Ignite Servers.

Heroes of Arkesia,

The Arkesia Ignited Update arrives on October 9, heralding the beginning of a new age for new and veteran players alike. The time for the Allied Forces to gather in North Kurzan and unite in battle against Kazeros’ demonic legions has arrived. The battle in North Kurzan will serve as the entry point to Tier 4 (T4), Lost Ark’s endgame evolution, which introduces a multitude of new endgame systems for players to power up before facing the many challenges on the near horizon.

The vast array of new gear, systems, and abilities aren’t the only thing that will help you power up to face Kazeros’ forces — reinforcements are also critical to overcoming the demonic hordes. To bolster the ranks of players ready to enter Tier 4, a special progression event arrives in the form of Ignite Servers. These special servers will quickly level players up to 1620 and give them the tools to enter the fray. Additionally, to give players a major power increase in Tier 4, Hyper Awakenings will also be included in this update!

Downtime will begin on October 9 at 12 a.m. PT (7 a.m. UTC) and is expected to last 15 hours. Dive into the full list of new content, events, skins, and other changes along with a special episode of "Patch Notes with Henry," or read through all the details. With the biggest update ever released for Lost Ark in the West, there’s a lot to uncover!
