The Lost Ark January Update has arrived! The Frosty Fate Update includes a Karma Progression and Frontier System, Kazeros Raid Act 2, Festa of Arkesia, and much more!
Kazeros Raid Act 2
Kazeros Raid Act 2: Requiem of the Floating Nightmare furthers the story of the war in North Kurzan. The Allied Forces have set out across Kurzan to create a strong barrier to protect their forces. But they face the chilling new powers of Brelshaza in a harsh, icy battleground. This 8-player raid features two gates and will require Item Level 1670 for Normal Difficulty or 1690 for Hard Difficulty.
Karma Progression System
Karma Progression System has been added. When players turn on Ark Passive, they can earn combat stats and Ark Passive related effects, accruing stronger effects by increasing Karma ‘Levels’ and ‘Ranks’ after unlocking Karma. Shadow of Karma and Destiny Stones are new key materials for the Karma Progression System added alongside the Kazeros Raid: Act 2.
Tier 4 Relic and Ancient Bracelets
Tier 4 Relic and Ancient Bracelets have been added, allowing players to earn Leap Ark Passive Points, and with an updated bonus effect list.
Frontier System
Frontier System affects raid difficulty (such damage and HP) and will decrease for raid bosses as time goes on. This will make the raid more approachable for more casual players while also lessening the reclear difficulty.
