RELATED: Lost Ark is Getting New Machinist Class
The latest update for Lost Ark is entitled Under The Arkesian Sun, a title that emphasizes the summer fun theme of the seasonal Maharaka Festival where players partake in leisurely activities at the Maharaka Paradise water park. The main attraction of this update is the new Pet Ranch located within player strongholds. The Pet Ranch allows players’ pets to train and grow in strength while generating resources and gaining Pet Expertise to level up, along with producing Jam Cookies exchangeable for unique rewards. Pets consume morale when they are productive, and regenerate morale by resting and hanging out with the other pets.
The update also features new Event Guardians as an interesting variation of Lost Ark’s Guardian Raids. Players who are level 50 or above with an item level of at least 250 can challenge groups of three Event Guardians which drop stacking buffs that massively increase player damage dealt. Once all three Guardians are defeated, players will receive tokens that can be redeemed at an event vendor for a variety of rewards. On the cosmetic front, futuristic new Wingsuit Armor and Neon Weapon skins are available for a limited time, along with a sleek-looking WIngsuit Bike and an assortment of adorable Shiba Inu pets.
The Maharaka Festival runs until September 28, so players still have plenty of time to join in on the summer festivities. It’s also important to note that players will only be able to acquire the new collection of Shiba Inu pets and the Wingsuit cosmetics set until September 28. Lost Ark players may want to keep that date in mind as the next round of seasonal offerings approaches for fall.
Lost Ark is available on PC.
