Heroes of Arkesia,

All Lost Ark servers and regions will be taken offline on Wednesday, September 25, 2024 at 12:00 AM PT for our weekly maintenance. During this time, additional adjustments will be made to EAC. Downtime is estimated to last up to 4 hours.

Following the maintenance period, all players will receive a gift in their product inventories to help them continue through the Transcendence System as Tier 4 approaches! We’ve seen a lot of feedback from the community and reviewed player data surrounding the western balance changes to Behemoth. With the changes to Transcendence and Elixirs that also arrived with the ‘Chase The Storm’ update, we’ve seen feedback that newer 1620 characters are struggling with damage contribution or are being gatekept due to their Transcendence level. While Behemoth is clearable with a party of 1620s, we wanted to provide a gift to help players juice their characters up for the raid in response to the feedback we’ve seen. We looked into slightly tweaking the balance, but Tier 4’s imminent arrival on October 9 will provide an immediate and substantial Item Level boost for 1620 characters using the gear transfer system. We would rather you feel powered-up with lasting effects, such as some help progressing through the Transcendence System. We also hope that the in-game Chase The Storm event continues to help you power up your roster. To support that goal, the “Behemoth Buster” player gift will contain the following:

• 30 Armor Transcendence Restoration Tickets
• 10 Weapon Transcendence Restoration Tickets
• [Masterwork] Master's Herb Steaks

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