Get ready for Lost Ark’s upcoming North American and European launch on February 11, 2022, by exploring the ins and outs of character creation in this comprehensive guide. Discover the different classes, advanced classes, customizations, and other key features to make your character stand out.
Classes and Customizations
In Lost Ark, there are five main classes, each with its own set of advanced classes and gender options. The game offers a variety of customization features, including character slots, Powerpass, reskin and name change options, purchasable with Royal Crystals (in-game currency).
Character Slots
Lost Ark provides six character slots per account by default. Having multiple characters is advantageous for completing daily and weekly quests and earning rewards. You can purchase Character Slot Extension Tickets for extra slots, costing around 900 Royal Crystals each.
Powerpass
At launch, players will have access to the Vern Powerpass, which instantly levels their alternate characters to the max level, granting them gear and quests appropriate to their level.
Reskin and Name Change
If you wish to change your character’s appearance or name, you can purchase Appearance Customization Tickets (approx. 900 Royal Crystals) and Name Change Tickets (approx. 1,800 Royal Crystals).
Basic Stats
Each class comes with predefined basic stats that influence your playstyle, such as Attack Power, Dexterity, Defense, Support, and Area of Effect (AoE) Radius. These stats will improve as you equip higher quality gear.
Gender-Locked Classes
As of now, not all classes have male and female counterparts. The game developers have confirmed that more gender options will be released in the future, but no specific dates have been given.
Classes and Advanced Classes
Upon choosing a class, you’ll specialize in an advanced class at level 10. Here’s a brief overview of the classes and advanced classes available in Lost Ark:
- Warrior: Tank-oriented class with the Berserker, Paladin, and Gunlancer advanced classes.
- Mage: Support and spellcasting class with the Bard and Sorceress advanced classes.
- Martial Artist: Fast and agile brawler class with Wardancer, Scrapper, Soulfist, and Striker advanced classes.
- Gunner: Ranged damage dealer class with Sharpshooter, Deadeye, Artillerist, and Gunslinger advanced classes.
- Assassin: Dark, rogue-like class with Deathblade and Shadowhunter advanced classes.
Skill Respec
In Lost Ark, you can’t change your class or advanced class, so choose wisely. However, you can easily respec skills without any cost – just adjust the point allocation and save. You can save multiple skill presets for ease of use in different situations, such as PvP activities.
Character Customization
After selecting your class, customize your character’s physical appearance using the various options and presets available. Customize face, hair, eyes, skin, special features, such as makeup or tattoos, and voice to create a unique character. Preview display outfits and emote actions/animations to see how your character will look and interact in-game.
