Mystic Event Raid



Heroes of Arkesia,

The October ‘Mystics and Mayhem’ Update arrives next week, on October 26! This update comes packed with three distinct raids, for the heroes in Arkesia to hone their teamwork, skills, and ability to overcome unique mechanics; the Vykas Inferno Difficulty Legion, Achates Trial Guardian Raid, along with a new event, the Mystic Abyss Raid. This special event is scheduled to run for 3 weeks, starting on October 26 and running for three weeks, until November 16.



The Guardian Mystic, formerly known as the Herald of Vairgrys and the Ark Carrier, has begun to cast dangerous mists from the permeated chaos and must be vanquished in this new, limited-time Abyss Raid. Mystic must be defeated, along with other bosses found within his lair.



During the Abyss Raid event 'Scale of Harmony' is applied, changing character stats to match the enemy's level. Item Level 1302 or higher is required to battle Mystic, and an abundance of weekly rewards await those who rise to the challenge. The event has three gates for players to battle through, and players are rewarded event tokens once the raid is successfully cleared. Mystic Event Tokens can be exchanged for a variety of rewards and items through an Exchange NPC located in each city. Along with the event rewards, there are a variety of Achievements to be earned. Mystic can be challenged once per week, per roster.



Stay tuned to PlayLostArk.com and our social media channels for the full list of updates in next week's Release Notes! Until then, we'll see you in Arkesia.

October 19 Weekly Update Release Notes

All Lost Ark servers and regions will be taken offline on Wednesday, October 19th at 12 AM PT / 7 AM UTC / 9 AM CEST for our weekly maintenance. Downtime is estimated to last up to 4 hours, and will include the following changes.
  • Text for the New User and Returning User login rewards has been appropriately translated and localized in-game for German, Spanish, and French; however, if you have activated this event prior to the update, the event text will not retroactively update.

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll see you in Arkesia soon!

October 12 Weekly Update

Heroes of Arkesia,

All Lost Ark servers and regions will be taken offline on Wednesday, October 12th at 12 AM PT / 7 AM UTC / 9 AM CEST for our scheduled weekly maintenance. Downtime is estimated to last up to 4 hours and includes the following fixes & updates:
  • Ark Pass Season 2 is arriving! Beginning on October 12th, players can complete missions in-game to earn rewards including honing material selection chests, pirate coins, and pheons! Players can also exchange Royal Crystals for the Premium Ark Pass, which will include additional rewards such as the Icebloom Deer Selection Chest, or the Super Premium Ark Pass, which includes the Respite and Glory Skin Set.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Chaos Dungeon Rest Bonus value to be set to an invalid number on some characters. In cases where this is occurring, the Rest Bonus has been rounded up to the nearest 10.
  • Withheld gold spent to craft items in the Stronghold will now be refunded as withheld gold if crafting is cancelled. This only applies to withheld gold spent; if non-withheld gold is spent to craft an item which is later cancelled, it will be refunded as non-withheld gold.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the “/groupinvite” chat command to not function.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the cutscene shown at the end of Naruna Hot Springs to repeat.
  • During this time, the second round of server merges will also take place. Downtime for regions experiencing server merges is expected to take longer than our standard maintenance, with an estimation of up to 12 hours.
