Trusted Status FAQ
The Trusted Status system is an evolving system that is adjusted as we adapt to the cheating landscape. No single action will result in Trusted Status being granted automatically. You may have come across outdated information that may no longer apply to the current version of the system.
Please note that the following actions do not grant you Trusted Status automatically:
Making a purchase on Steam of any amount.
Making an in-game purchase of any amount.
Enabling two-factor authentication on Steam.
No, Steam account status has no effect on Lost Ark trusted status. Steam restrictions, such as Limited User Accounts, operate separately from Lost Ark’s Trusted Status.
Accounts are scored regularly to determine if they qualify to be granted Trusted Status. We highly encourage normal in-game play and behavior which helps determine Trusted Status.
Trusted Status is determined by ongoing evaluations of your account's activity. If you haven't logged in for an extended period, your status might be re-evaluated upon your return. Regular gameplay can help maintain your Trusted Status.
While positive community involvement is always encouraged, gaining Trusted Status is primarily based on your in-game behavior and account history. Reporting other players does not directly influence your Trusted Status.
The best way to increase your chances of gaining Trusted Status is to engage in normal, consistent gameplay, follow the game's Code of Conduct, and avoid any behavior that might be considered suspicious or harmful. The system is designed to reward genuine players who contribute positively to the game.
The Trusted Status system takes into account a variety of factors that may differ from player to player. Even if two accounts seem similar, subtle differences in gameplay or other factors may result in different outcomes. The system is designed to assess each account individually.
The system is automated, and Trusted Status is based on ongoing assessments of your account. Maintaining good in-game behavior is the fastest way to restore Trusted Status.
The Trusted Status system is an evolving system and it may be granted or revoked depending on your gameplay activities. We highly encourage normal in-game play which helps determine if you are able to get Trusted again when system does its cycle.
Reasons your Trusted Status may be revoked or be intermittent include:
Using a VPN
Playing in an unsupported region
Engaging in RMT
Botting
Using suspicious software
Suspicious trading practices
Suspicious account behavior
Please know that Trusted Status is regularly reviewed. If none of the above are occurring on your account, and you have lost your Trusted Status, your account will be re-evaluated. After re-evaluation, if your account looks to be in good standing, your Trusted Status will be re-granted.
