Battle Pass Lost Ark: The Ark Pass is accessible for free!

With the Lost Ark update of April 2022, a free "Battle Pass" type system appeared in game. This is called Pass Arche and offers players a large number of rewards depending on their progress... and a little bit of the money they invest in the game too!

How do I level up in the Ark Pass?

The progression in Ark Levels of the Ark Pass is done in three ways:

1. Complete Normal Repeatable Missions for up to 500 XP per week
2. Complete Unique Season Missions for around 50-100 XP per mission

3. Buy Ark EXP at 50 Blue Crystals for 100 XP

   Each Ark Level requires 150 Ark EXP points. You will therefore need a total of 4,500 experience points to be able to reach the last level. This corresponds to 9 weeks of normal repeatable Missions, knowing that you will also complete in parallel the unique Season Missions which will also grant you experience!

Free Arch Pass

Basically, the Arche Pass is accessible free of charge . It offers, to put it simply, rewards based on the missions completed each week by the player. The more tasks the player has completed (the more he has actually played the game), the more Arche experience points he gets. These are used to increase the Ark Level of the Ark Pass: with each new level you get new rewards, and a total of 30 levels are available.

The free version of the Ark Pass offers two rewards per level, only one can be selected each time. The type of reward for the first choice varies depending on your Ark Level while the second tends to always be dedicated to Refining materials (different materials are offered at each level).

On the first level, we find for example the following choices:

Ark level	Choice 1	Choice 2
1
2
3
4
5		-

For comparison, levels 26 to 30 offer the following rewards:

Ark level	Choice 1	Choice 2

Premium Arch Pass

The Premium version of the Arche Pass is the cheaper of the two paid options. It is available in exchange for 1,500 Royal Crystals in the in-game store, the equivalent of just under €15.00 . It allows you to obtain at each Ark Level an additional reward in addition to the free choice (previously presented) for which you choose

Upon purchase, you also get 1,500 Ark EXP.

Going back to the first example above, here are the rewards of the Arche Premium Pass from levels 1 to 5:

Ark level
1

For comparison, levels 26-30 offer the following Premium rewards:

Arch Super Premium Pass

The Super Premium version of the Arche Pass is the more expensive of the two paid options. It is available in exchange for 3,000 Royal Crystals in the in-game store, the equivalent of just under €30.00 . It allows you to get an additional reward every 5 Ark Levels.

Upon purchase, you also get 1,500 Ark EXP.

• Note: The Ascendant Banquet cosmetic set is also available for purchase separately from the in-game store in exchange for 1,010 Blue Crystals (including armor and weapon).
