New Advanced Class - The Spearman
Adept in an artistic and deadly type of martial art, the spearwoman slays enemies on the battlefield with a combination of her attacks, spear, and glaive. The spearman has two distinct sets of abilities, Focus and Unleash, whose stances and abilities are embodied by her two weapons. The shorter spear lets him deal a torrent of attacks with Focus Stance, while the longer glaive takes advantage of Rampage Stance to deliver elegant killing blows and knockdown attacks. Where certain classes require you to focus on one of these weapons, an effective spearwoman will be able to develop her full potential by creating a balance between the two postures. She will store energy in her starting stance to grant a hard-hitting stat bonus to her second stance. Learn more about the spearman in the latestLost Ark Academy .
New continent: Bern-South
Discover and explore a new region of Archesia with the introduction of South Bern. The settlers of South Bern have borrowed technologies from different races to transform this once barren land into a place where water and greenery abound. After hearing the rumor of the dangers overwhelming Bern-Nord, the senate decided to close the gates of Bern-Sud and form a new order of chivalry. Suspicious, Ealyn, Queen of Bern, ordered Knight Commander Avele to investigate. So what is going on in this peaceful continent? Unravel the mysteries of South Bern as you explore this new region, meet new characters and complete quests. The story of Bern-Sud will conclude with an epic battle that could well change the future of Archesia. Bern-Sud becomes the second tier 3 continent after Punika, and requires an item level of 1340.
In addition to the scenario, Bern South will include the Chaos Gate region, the normal difficulty of the new Chaos Line activity, and the Thunderwings field boss. Bern South Chaos Dungeons will be added in a future update, when more players have reached the minimum item level required to participate.
Progression Events - April 21 - June 30
Feiton express growth
Players will receive Express Growth from Feiton after completing the main Feiton story quest “Willpower” during the event period, or, if you already completed the quest before the update, you will get Express Growth at the start of the event! The Feiton's Express Growth will work like the Express Growths available to players in the launch version of Lost Ark - Once you complete the story on that continent, you can use it to bring another character to that stage of the game With Feiton Express Growth, you will receive level 960 gear. This is an Event Express Growth that will expire on June 30.
Express mission event
This new event will allow players to select one of their characters with combat level 50 and item level below 1000 to perform "express missions". This character will receive level 302 gear and have the ability to complete Express Missions and Bonus Missions to earn significant refinement and progression rewards. Missions will be divided into four sections, corresponding to the main Tier 1 and Tier 2 continents (Bern-Nord, Rohendel, Yorn, and Feiton), each granting an abundance of materials corresponding to that tier, to help players progress, like silver, refining materials, major potions, engravings and more.
For new players, we hope this will help them catch up with their friends while learning about Tiers 1 and 2 and the corresponding game modes. For players already at tier 3, this event can be used to quickly level up a new alternate character (perhaps the new spearwoman?). Completing all the missions will grant a very large reward, so don't forget to take advantage of this event while it's here! Like the Feiton Express Growth, the Express Mission event will run until June 30.
