The roadmap content discussed are highlights we know players are eagerly awaiting, but the roadmap is not a comprehensive list of every change arriving in Arkesia over the next few months, and could change. As we approach each month, more details will be shared. New quality of life (QoL) updates, content balance tuning, adjustments to support new and returning players, and unique events may appear in the upcoming months. Stay tuned to our website and social channels for future Release Notes, including the full list of new content, cosmetics, content balance changes, events, and more included in our major monthly updates.

Heroes of Arkesia,

This week, our standard Wednesday maintenance will have a bigger batch of changes than a standard weekly update. We’re excited in incorporate some key progression changes based on player feedback! Downtime will begin on July 24 at 12 a.m. PT (7 a.m. UTC) and is expected to last up to 4 hours.

Before we dive into the updates, we’re excited to share that all players will be granted a 2024 Swimsuit Skin! We appreciate your ongoing support and passion for Lost Ark, and hope this helps you relax in the Arkesian sun during the summer months as we head toward Tier 4. We’ll let you know when this has been delivered to your Product Inventory, stay tuned to our social channels or the Official Lost Ark Discord.

• Elixir System: New feature to select an option for the last slot when refining an Elixir has been added, along with an option to skip Sage's cutscenes.
  
• Transcendence System: Conditions required to increase Elzowin's Grace level have been eased and added an option to speed up the Transcendence animation.
  
• Solo Raids: Honing material rewards increased and True Supporter buff improved.

[h3]Super Mokoko Express[/h3]
The Super Mokoko Express Event will be changed to allow the event to be activated on any character under item level 1620. After the conclusion of this maintenance, any players who have already picked a character for the event will be able to re-initiate the event in-game and pick a new (or the same) character to activate it on. Please note that any rewards already collected from the Super Mokoko Express Event will not be granted a second time following the update. You will still receive the event honing buffs on the character you choose, and will be able to earn any rewards that you did not already earn on the newly selected character.

Thank you for your feedback and support! We’ll see you in Arkesia.
