5s Hello, Heroes of
6s Arkesia. Back with another episode
8s of Patch Notes with Henry.
9s Today we're going to be covering the
11s 2 Extreme Update,
13s which is the second anniversary
15s update that includes the new Valtan
17s Extreme Legion Raid.
19s We have some
20s really fun stuff planned for the
21s anniversary this year.
22s We want it to be a celebration of
24s the community, and a thank you to
26s the players for all the
27s support and passion we've seen.
30s So we have some really fun things
31s coming.
32s So the first big thing we have
33s coming, this update, which is
35s actually kind
36s of an event, but we're going to
37s talk about it as a raid, is going to
39s be the Valtan Extreme
41s Legion Raid.
43s So Valtan is going to return in a
44s new, challenging version of the
46s eight player raid.
47s There's going to be two versions of
48s Valtan extreme.
49s There's normal at item level 1580
52s and hard at item level 1620.
55s With greater challenge comes greater
57s rewards, though. There's going to be
58s some cool
59s first time
60s rewards, first time clear rewards
62s that are going to be given upon
63s clearing
64s two gates, along with rewards
66s as you clear.
68s Each roster can enter the raid
69s once every two weeks.
72s One kind of
73s cool thing is that gold can be
74s obtained regardless
76s of whether or not that character is
77s designated
78s to earn
78s gold or not.
79s So you can play it on,
81s you know, your main or whatever
82s character you want, regardless of if
84s you have that set as a gold earner
85s for the week.
86s So the reward opportunity is going
88s to reset
89s every two weeks, and the rewards can
91s be claimed on kind of this cadence.
93s So from February 7th
95s after the maintenance to
97s February 21st, before,
99s you know, the next maintenance and
101s then repeating that cycle for the
103s next, couple of weeks, we
104s have from February 21st
106s to March 6th and
108s then March 6th to March
110s 20th.
111s You're going to be able to enter the
113s Legion Raid,
115s from the Demon Beast Commander
117s Valtan entry
118s UI by click by clicking the
120s Extreme button.
122s And then we've added the
123s corresponding party finder sections
125s to the UI as well.
127s Another
128s interesting thing about this version
129s of Valtan is when a gate
131s has been cleared, players can reset
133s the progress by using the
135s Gate reset feature.
136s And when a gate
137s is reset, all
139s progress on gate one is reset, and
140s the player
141s can either select a different
142s difficulty
143s and try the raid again, or players
145s can enter the raid with a different
147s character.
148s I'm personally super excited.
150s I think Valtan is still one of my
151s favorite Legion raids.
153s You know, just that feeling of
155s trying to stay alive as the arena
157s gets smaller and smaller and you're
158s trying not to get knocked off.
160s I'll never forget my Valtan prog
162s experience. I had so much fun with
163s it, so.
164s I'm excited to be able to play it a
166s few more
166s times, you know.
167s And earn some cool rewards
168s for the next couple weeks, and
170s kind of have that throwback in
172s nostalgia to the first Legion raid.
173s I think it's a fun time to bring it
175s in, since this month is all
177s about celebrating the community and
178s looking back on some of the cool
180s moments we've all had together since
182s we launched Lost Ark in the West.
184s So the big section for
186s this Patch.
186s Notes is going to be the events.
188s Like I said earlier
190s this month is all about celebrating
191s the community and giving some cool
194s rewards to players.
195s And one of the best ways of doing
197s that in Lost Ark is through some
198s special events.
200s So we're going to cover,
201s First off, a
202s few of the things that are ending
203s with this update and then launch
204s into all of the new stuff coming.
206s So here's a few notes.
207s The Freya Island event is going to
209s draw to a close with the February
210s update.
211s So a new
212s Daily Log
213s In reward track and new Fever Time
215s events have been added in that
217s include some special second
218s anniversary rewards.
221s Also
221s the daily playtime
222s rewards are going to continue until
223s February 28th,
225s and then we're going to talk about a
227s bunch of different special
228s anniversary events.
229s But before we dive in, I just want
230s to say there's a new event
232s shop that has a bunch of tabs
234s in it. So when the update drops
237s explore those different tabs
239s and kind of figure out where you can
241s get some of those rewards from.
242s We'll cover that below, but just
244s want to say there's going to be a
246s bunch of tabs in there.
248s One for tokens
250s that come from the Arkesia Festival,
253s and there's going to be two tabs for
254s that, one for the general rewards
256s of all the progression items, and
258s another tab that has the special
260s rewards.
261s And then on top of that, there's
262s going to be, a tab for the Twinkle
265s Twinkle
265s Shop, which is the Golden Frog.
267s So let's go over some of those
269s events now.
271s So the first big event is going to
272s be the Arkesia Festival.
274s Players are going to be able to take
275s art in celebrating lost art second
277s anniversary at the
278s Festival.
279s And every two weeks, there's
280s going to be new quests for players
282s to participate in, keeping things
284s fun and fresh as you earn tokens
286s to trade in for valuable rewards.
288s So the first two weeks
289s are going to be the What I'm Looking
292s For, which is where you find
293s items matching random buffs
295s appearing overhead.
296s In the event
298s three types of random
299s buffs are going to spawn at any one
300s time and players can find
302s the identical items to acquire
304s points.
305s So the next two weeks after that,
306s starting on February 21st,
308s are going to be the Run Pinata Run
310s event
312s where players
313s participating the event will turn
314s into a giant pinata and race
316s against each other.
318s It's going to start off with a brief
320s introduction about the controls.
321s And then from there
323s use the skills provided
324s in order to get first place
326s in the race.
328s The final two weeks
329s of the event
330s starting on March
331s 6th
332s are going to be the
333s Break the Gourd
334s and a Heart Full of Love event.
337s In the
338s Break the Gourd event, players can
340s use
341s naughty and nice pinata candy to
342s break the gourd.
344s As long as you do it in time to get
346s second anniversary tokens.
348s And then after that, you can gather
349s around to celebrate the second
351s anniversary of Lost Ark together
353s through some fun and special
354s interactions.
355s And all players who participate will
357s receive the tokens
359s as rewards.
360s So let's talk a little bit about the
362s rewards.
363s You're going to be earning event
364s tokens like in previous events
366s in Lost Ark, and you can earn
368s those by
369s clearing Chaos Dungeons or Guardian
370s Raids, from daily playtime rewards,
373s and also from participating
375s in the events.
376s There's going to be a ton of the
378s standard Lost Ark event rewards
380s like progression, honing materials,
382s card packs.
384s But we've.
385s also included some really special
386s things. You're actually going to
388s be able to get a set of the
389s Providence and Unity skins.
392s We'll have those showcased a little
393s bit later in the video
394s if you want to see the cosmetics
396s showcase.
397s But they're.
398s really
398s cool and I'm super excited to get my
399s hands on some of those skins.
401s So in
402s Addition to the Arkesian Festival
404s event, we
405s have a brand new event in the West,
407s which is going to be called the
409s Birthday Bash event.
411s So this is going to be a special one
412s that takes players on a trip down
413s memory lane from the last year
415s and leads them toward
418s earning some
419s cool rewards by
421s re-experiencing those iconic pieces
422s of lost art content that I've
423s released over the last year.
425s We really hope
426s that this event is going to help
427s players progress towards some,
429s upcoming content like Thaemine in
431s a few months
432s or help players that are still
433s working
434s to catch up to Voldis
436s and other existing content.
439s But we really wanted to give some
440s special rewards and celebrate the
441s community with this event.
443s In the Birthday Bash event, players
445s are going to complete missions in
447s Brelshaza Hard Mode,
450s Kayangel Hard Mode,
452s Akkan Normal and Hard Mode, and then
452s Ivory Tower of Chaos, Normal
455s and Hard Mode, and then also from
456s completing Chaos Dungeons and
458s Guardian Raids.
459s You're going to be able to earn
459s honing
461s materials, gold, cards,
463s card XP, accessories, ability
465s stones and amulets.
467s Similar to
467s previous events, the more gates you
469s clear during the course of the
470s event,
471s the more missions
472s you complete and
473s rewards you'll earn.
474s So should be a fun way of
476s celebrating some of the cool raids
477s that have released over the last year
480s while earning some beefy extra
482s rewards for doing so.
483s So one of the final events, which we
484s know players have been asking for,
486s is going to be the reintroduction of
488s the Golden Frog or in-game,
490s the Twinkle Twinkle Exchange
493s shop.
494s So it's going to be an event Gold
495s shop, where players can exchange
497s gold for valuable rewards such
499s as honing
500s materials, legendary engravings,
502s card packs, and a ton more.
504s Some of the
505s packages that you buy will include
507s a toad token, which can be redeemed
509s for additional special items.
512s The Twinkle Twinkle Shop will be
513s included
514s in the Event Shop category,
515s alongside the second Anniversary
517s Event Shop, and the
519s Golden Frog or Twinkle Twinkle
521s Shop is going to stay in-game
523s until March 6th.
526s Another fun thing that you're going
527s to see added into the game
529s are the winning selections
531s from the second Anniversary Loading
533s Screen Art competition.
535s We selected three winners who
537s created some really cool community
538s art.
539s So keep an eye out for it after the
541s update.
542s Let's, take a look
543s at the three winners right here.
560s There were a ton more awesome
561s submissions and picking the winners,
563s I know it was super hard for the
564s team.
565s So if you're curious to see some
567s more
568s of the awesome art that was created,
570s go take a look in the official Lost
571s Ark discord because there's some
573s really cool community stuff in
574s there.
575s All right, let's dive into the store
577s updates.
578s So we're gonna have the Providence
579s and Unity skins, which were the
580s recent
582s cosmetics designed by the community
583s in
583s Korea.
584s They're going to arrive packaged,
586s as I said, as the Providence and
587s Unity skins that are also
589s going to include the Jalopy Mount
592s the Moon Fox pets, and
594s the
594s Wallpaper
595s Night of Glittering Memories.
598s So you'll be able to celebrate
599s the anniversary in style by
601s picking some of those up from the
603s event with the event tokens,
605s and then also filling out your
607s collection with any more that you'd
608s want to purchase from the store as
609s well.
610s So let's take a look at all of those
612s cosmetics.
694s Awesome! I'm super excited for
696s these skins. Personally, I think a
698s ton of them are awesome.
700s I really like a lot of the weapons
701s in particular, so I'm excited to
703s get the ones from the event store
705s and then also pick up a few on the
706s side.
708s But those
708s aren't the only
709s cosmetics that are going to be coming
710s this month.
712s In
713s celebration,
713s we know
714s that some players
715s missed out on some top skins from
717s the last year
718s or two, so we're super excited.
719s to bring in some vault skins
721s that we know, players have been
724s wanting or, you know, looking
726s forward to trying to pick up
728s at some point, but may not even
730s have been found on the auction
731s house.
732s So for the first four weeks, we're
733s going to be
734s rereleasing some fan favorite skins.
736s You can hurry up and get your
737s hands on them. They're only going to
738s be available for that one week
740s before
741s they
741s disappear back into the vault.
743s Week one is going to be the
745s Midsummer Nights series,
746s which were the 2022 Swimsuit
748s Skins.
750s Week two is going to be the Festival
751s and Ball series, which
753s were the 2022 holiday skins,
755s and week
756s three is
757s going to be the Neon Wingsuit
759s Series.
760s And then we're capping it off with
762s Week four.
763s Is going to have the Wave, Sand,
765s Wind and Beach
767s swimsuit series, which
769s were the 2023 swimsuits,
771s and then the Midnight Summer
773s time series, which was the special
776s Korean 2023 swimsuits
778s that we brought over simultaneously.
782s All right. And a few final
784s general changes.
785s We've also made improvements to
786s decrease the
787s short client freeze that could occur
789s during login, server connection
791s and environment load.
793s I'm personally excited for that
794s change and fix.
796s And then another change
798s is going to be
799s EAC related server
801s code has been updated to change
803s the game
804s access flow between character
806s selection
807s to game world entrance.
808s Before, if EAC
810s authentication
811s had not been done during the
813s character selection, the game client
815s would shut down.
816s Now,
817s if the
818s authentication has not been done during
819s character selection, players are
820s just going to be returned to the
821s server selection
823s screen.
823s So you don't have to go through that
825s boot up sequence.
826s And the last change is going to be
828s the purchase limit for the level
830s complete pack.
831s The level 50 ones has
833s been changed from roster bound to
834s account bound.
836s And that wraps it up for the changes
839s arriving in the 2 Extreme
841s update.
843s Well, that wraps up the details
845s in the 2 Extreme update.
848s And it, it
849s has been a crazy two
851s years already. It's flown by for me
853s personally.
855s We have a lot of passion on our
857s side. I personally have a ton of
859s passion for the game, you know,
860s working on it and also feeling like
862s a member of the community and
864s getting really excited for these
865s updates coming into the West.
867s We really want this to feel like a
869s celebration and sharing some of that
871s passion back with the community.
873s We've had, you know, some ups and
874s downs over the last year, in the
876s last two years.
878s But it's been a lot of fun and
880s a really fun journey.
882s And we're super excited to,
884s you know, make
884s that feel, make
885s this month feel like a community
887s celebration. We don't want it to
888s feel like we're just throwing
889s ourselves a birthday party.
890s We want to, you know, share in this
892s with the community.
893s And, you know, a lot of us are like
894s myself, members of that community as
896s well, who are, you know, avid
898s players and fans.
899s So it should be a lot of fun.
901s And we're super excited to celebrate
903s with you.
904s And we'd also just, you know, love
906s to thank the community for
907s everything, for the passion,
909s the support, the carrying
912s our team members through raids
913s without knowing it, all of that.
915s It's been a lot of fun, and we're
917s very appreciative of the feedback,
919s the passion and
922s everything that the players do
924s for the game.
926s It's been a lot of fun, and we're
927s excited to see even
929s more coming forward.
931s So for the Community
932s Question this month, which
934s character are you going
937s to redeem your free
939s Unity and Providence skins on?
940s There's so many cool ones.
942s It's going to be a tough decision,
943s but we want to know which ones you
945s think are the coolest or which ones
946s you know you're planning to
948s to redeem.
949s For me personally, it's a tough
950s choice.
951s I think I'm going to go with my
952s Glavier.
953s I main swapped to it a couple
955s months ago and need to build
957s up my skin collection, so I think
959s that's where I'm going. But I'd love
960s to hear from you what you're
962s planning on using it on?
964s As
965s always, if you could like and
967s subscribe to the video,
968s it's super helpful.
969s Just lets us know that we're headed
970s the right direction with this type
972s of community content and that you
973s enjoyed it, and we should keep doing
974s it.
977s And as always, if you want
979s the
980s full patch notes
980s or want to read through them.
981s Make sure to check out the Play
983s Lost Ark website where you can
985s find all of that written out.
988s You also might want to head back
989s there in a day or two for a special
991s anniversary article that might
993s have the details for a
995s special surprise for all the players
998s coming.
998s So I'll leave you with that little
1000s teaser.
1001s And in the meantime, I'll
1003s see you in Arkesia.
