[2023] Lost Ark: Patch Notes with Henry, October 2023

Transcript (by Youtube)

5s	Hello, Heroes of Arkesia.
7s	Here we are with episode three of Patch Notes with Henry.
10s	We're going to dive into the Monster Bash update, which drops on October 11th.
17s	This patch is a little smaller.
18s	It still has some cool stuff in it, but it's a little shorter.
21s	So we're actually going to be able to go through every change coming in the patch this time.
25s	I'll talk through some of it here and then hop over to my computer and show you some of the stuff visually as well.
31s	All right.
31s	Let's get into it.
33s	All right.
33s	One of the biggest pieces of content arriving in this update is a new continent, which is Pleccia, has a new storyline.
40s	You'll be able to dive into Armen's past, learn more about some of the Priests of Sacria, and just experience an entire new storyline in Lost Ark.
49s	It's also an important one.
51s	It's one that you're going to need to complete before Voldis, which arrives in a few months.
55s	So it's a pretty important stop along your journey in Lost Ark.
60s	You have to be item level 1475 to venture there and the story actually begins in Luterra.
65s	So that's where you're going to pick up the quest to venture over.
68s	There's a few important things and a few differences about this continent versus some of the other ones.
74s	While the storyline is super important to Lost Ark and you'll need to complete it, like I mentioned, unfortunately, there's no Adventurer's Tome for this continent.
83s	There are definitely fun collectibles to check out.
86s	There's mokoko seeds, there's new exclusive collectibles just for Pleccia which I'll let you uncover when the update drops.
95s	There's a new Wandering Merchant and there's new achievements, titles, new cards.
103s	A bunch of new stuff will accompany it.
105s	Just no Adventurers Tome this time around.
109s	I'm going to go hop in game, show you where to pick up the quest, and we can check out a little bit more about Pleccia there.
115s	So I'm not going to spoil the storyline for you here, but once you complete a few quests, talk to Thirain and a few of his friends in the castle.
122s	You'll be ready to get on your way to the new continent and check it out for yourself.
126s	All right, so the next big piece of content arriving in this update is the Trial Guardian raid for Caliligos.
135s	Big Dragon.
136s	Lots of lightning.
138s	Pretty exciting boss.
139s	The trial version is meant a little bit more for the hardcore raiders because there is a leaderboard for both the fastest clear time and also an exclusive title for the first clear in a region.
151s	But anybody that's up for a challenge and wants to try out some equalized content is welcome to join in and try and get some of the other rewards.
159s	The achievements, the title for clearing.
162s	It's fun to just test yourself against the boss.
166s	So some specifics for this one.
168s	You need to be item level 1250 in order to challenge trial Caliligos.
175s	You also need to set up a build in the Book of Coordination. You need to be item level 1250 in order to challenge trial Caliligos.
175s	You also need to set up a build in the Book of Coordination.
179s	As this is equalized content, you'll be on an equal playing field against the boss, so you'll need to create a whole build there similar to how you do for Inferno Legion Raids or other equalized content in that fashion.
193s	So with the trial version of Caliligos showing the fastest clear times on the leaderboard and also that exclusive title that the first party that clears earns in each region, we know there's competition brewing, so we're actually going to open it up over the weekend so more players can participate in that race and be free, freed up for that slot.
214s	So it's going to open on October 14th at 7 p.m.
218s	UTC.
219s	That is going to be noon Pacific Time or 9 p.m.
225s	CEST.
226s	So to recap: exclusive time that it's opening over the weekend, new titles, new achievements, you're going to need to use the Book of Coordination.
236s	And because of that, we're actually adding two new runes to the Book of Coordination.
241s	You're now going to be able to access a Legendary quick recharge rune and a legendary Gale Wind rune.
248s	So that'll hopefully give you the edge you need to clear.
252s	One important thing to note is this content, because it rewards that first clear, we want to make sure that the competition is fair.
262s	There have been some recent incidences in Korea where some nefarious actions have been taken by players trying to receive that exclusive, first clear title.
273s	So for players that are planning on participating, please know that we will be vetting and scrutinizing the accounts that clear first to make sure that there's no third party tools, hacks, anything like that that are being used because we really want to reward skill and competition here.
292s	All right, let's cover the events.
294s	Before we talk about the new stuff, I just want to give a quick heads up that the Blooming Mokoko event and our Arktoberfest event and also the daily log event are all going to come to an end with this update, but we do have some new cool stuff coming.
308s	Primarily, we have Event Guardian Raids coming back.
313s	I know a lot of you have probably played these in the past because we've had this event once or twice before.
318s	But for new players, it's kind of a fun twist on Guardian Raids where you can hop in and fight two or three Guardians simultaneously.
327s	You can meet conditions during the fight to give yourself access to some really big power boosts, whether that's countering destruction checks, a few other things.
337s	But by the end of the raid, you should be in head hitting some pretty crazy damage numbers, which is always fun if you like chasing that like I do.
346s	That's why I play Slayer and other classes that deal big damage amounts.
351s	Anyway, those are common.
354s	You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
357s	And then you can use those tokens for a new event shop. You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
360s	You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
360s	We'll have some cool stuff in there. You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
361s	All the classics, like honing materials and then some new, I think spooky and Halloween-themed events, too, for players that want some seasonal items. You can earn tokens from clearing those raids.
363s	All the classics, like honing materials and then some new, I think spooky and Halloween-themed events, too, for players that want some seasonal items.
373s	So that's the event Guardian Raid.
375s	I'm not sure if this will make it in the video or not, but I'm going to hop in one right now.
379s	We can check it out.
380s	And this event's actually going to stick around all the way through October as well.
384s	For players that don't want to face it every day, you can earn the tokens through other gameplay methods like normal Guardians or Chaos Dungeons as well.
394s	I'm going to hop in to show you how it works really quick.
397s	And yeah, let's fight some Guardians.
402s	So throughout the flight you can meet special requirements and buy that earn power upgrades to hit some pretty crazy numbers.
413s	There's usually one or two Guardians that you have to kill and one special Guardian that you're fighting as well.
421s	That's going to give you the buffs when you defeat it.
427s	I am looking at some of my skills right now and realizing this is not my normal setup, so we will see how this goes.
436s	But please don't judge my tripods too heavily and let's see if we can get one of the big baddies to show up.
449s	All right, here we go.
450s	So this is the Special Guardian.
453s	There's one of these in everyone that you fight.
456s	And when you meet certain - it may be countering...
459s	let's see...
461s	Nope.
462s	Surely something else.
465s	When you meet special requirements against them, sometimes it's countering, sometimes it's destruction, sometimes it's stagger.
472s	Looks like this one is probably stagger.
474s	Luckily, I brought Whirlwind Grenades...
477s	When you meet those special requirements, they'll drop these Ethers, and these Ethers give you huge power increases when you're fighting the rest of the Guardians.
487s	So we're able to do some massive damage all of a sudden and wipe one out just like that.
499s	So.
502s	It looks like we're able to get the next round of ethers, get even more juiced up.
507s	But there are several Guardians you have to wipe out, so let's go find the next one in the grouping.
516s	Lumerus.
520s	You become faster.
521s	You can see how fast I'm running around.
522s	That's not dev hacks - that's just the event for you. Just run and get blasted. Cool.
531s	We got our Predator back.
536s	Oh well, that was fast.
540s	See, look at how powerful you become.
544s	Please don't nerf Slayer.
547s	You can head over and fight the final one.
549s	Now that we've defeated the minions, we can fight the Dark Marauder or Helgaia itself.
555s	Hopefully, as soon as the Predator comes back up, we'll be able to defeat it.
563s	Oh, or just one-shot it.
566s	That's how it goes.
567s	That's Slayer for you, ladies and gentlemen.
569s	And that's the event.
570s	So once you defeat all three, don't leave without picking up your chest.
574s	That's where you get your tokens from - right here.
580s	And you've done it.
583s	Congratulations.
585s	So, yeah, once you get these tokens, you can go spend them at an event vendor and get some cool prizes.
593s	Have fun.
594s	And good luck.
595s	We're also making an adjustment to the Shining Harvest event that's exclusive to jump start servers.
601s	We're adding some new missions in for clearing Brelshaza and also new items for those players.
608s	We're adding in these new gear quality upgrade tickets that are essentially a Stone of Chaos that let you upgrade your gear without needing to spend gold.
619s	Since obviously gold's in really high demand on jump start servers.
622s	You want to hone your gear, you want to buy stuff, and you haven't had as much time to stockpile gold.
628s	We want to make sure that players are also able to upgrade the quality of their gear as well.
633s	So because this is a new item, I want to show you how it works in-game. Let's hop in and I'll let you check it out really quickly.
641s	All right.
641s	So the next thing I wanted to show off is how the new gear upgrade items work.
647s	There's two types.
648s	There's the process Chaos Stones for weapons and process Chaos Stones for armor.
654s	So these are going to be earnable in-game and what they do is allow you to upgrade your gear without spending gold.
663s	So when you're interacting with the gear quality NPC, it's going to use these before it will use a chaos stone plus gold, which is the normal upgrade method.
673s	So let's hit some quality taps, see how they work.
676s	So when you chat with the - not the Gear Owning NPC, but the Quality Upgrade NPC, you're going to see that it's going to pull from these first before pulling from your stones of chaos.
690s	And it's going to use these up in their place.
695s	And yeah, it's, it's a good way for people to upgrade their armor on jump start, you know, get more health, get a little bit bigger damage bonuses.
706s	And it works the same for your weapon as well.
710s	Oh, that was a pretty good increase.
711s	Let's see if I can get luckier on here than I can with my weapons in the real game.
717s	Well, that might be it for now, but I think you get the point.
721s	It's just a good way of getting some quick upgrades and powering up your characters for newer players.
728s	And our goal is to bring these to the normal live servers for players in the future.
733s	You know, it can't get too into specifics because we're still working on the exact plans.
737s	But I think the Souleater and people gearing up a new character is probably a pretty safe bet for those wondering when they when they might show up.
747s	Cool.
747s	Yeah.
747s	So that's how that works.
749s	We know players on existing servers are also probably excited about this new item.
753s	I know it.
754s	It's kind of a recent development in Korea as well.
757s	We are planning on bringing these to existing servers as well.
762s	Spoiler alert, probably sometime around Souleater launch, TBD.
767s	Let's find out together next month.
770s	So stay tuned to that Patch Notes video.
772s	But we wanted to make sure that players on jump start who are behind on gold, behind on Chaos Stones and that sort of thing, are still upgrading their gear, getting those damage and health boost as they start to fight Brelshaza and maybe even move in the Kayangel and other further raids as well.
789s	All right let's rapid fire through some general updates coming in.
792s	We've refreshed the monthly login reward track and hot time events.
797s	We've added two new female and two new male hairstyles for character customization.
803s	I'm going to show you those really quickly before we rapid fire to the rest.
806s	Let's check them out.
807s	So we have two new hairstyles coming in for both male and female classes.
812s	Here are the new female ones.
814s	You can find them down here at the bottom right.
817s	Kind of a long, long hairstyle here and some bangs, too.
825s	So new customization options.
827s	And let's take a look at the ones for the guys.
830s	All right.
830s	So for the guys, we have one new male warrior preset for customization, which is this one right here.
838s	It uses one of the new hairstyles.
840s	And in addition to this new hairstyle, we have another one as well, which is this one, some more customization options for those looking to increase their fashion game or make some new presets.
853s	Let's see.
853s	I don't even - I don't know.
854s	I might be able to pull this one off, but my hair might be a little too curly.
859s	I don't know.
859s	What do we think?
861s	I think it's a vibe.
863s	In addition to the hairstyles, we added one new preset for male warrior customization that uses one of those hairstyles.
871s	Another cool upgrade is players start to progress through content faster: you can now upgrade your gear set effect directly from level one to level three if you power through clown.
883s	So you can skip to, if you get your Empyrean of Contemplations from Kayangel, you can upgrade your set effect directly to level three.
895s	So for people trying to power level their new characters, it should be a good quality-of-life change.
902s	Another interesting tweak for the Thirain Affection Rapport that came out last month.
909s	One of the emotes that you use in that quest wasn't in the game yet because it is a Pleccia-exclusive emote.
917s	But now that Pleccia is releasing, we're changing that quest to require the Pleccia emote.
922s	So for people that haven't done the Thirain Affection Rapport rank, you'll need to go to Pleccia in order to earn that emote.
930s	And the final change: we added 15 new jukebox songs for players that love listening to the music of Lost Ark.
938s	The other thing that I wanted to mention in general: we did announce earlier this month that the Chaos Gate revamp would be coming in October.
948s	It still will be arriving in October, but it will be coming two weeks after the main update.
955s	So we will have some Patch Notes later to cover that Chaos Gate revamp.
959s	We know players are excited about that quality-of-life change because it combines Chaos Gates, Ghost Ship, Treasure Map content all into one thing to run so that you get more rewards for kind of less homework in the game.
973s	So we're excited to bring that - it's still being worked on as I speak in Korea, but we want to bring it as soon as we can.
979s	So it's coming in two weeks, but not in this update.
983s	So you'll have something to look forward to later in the month as well.
986s	The final thing I wanted to share: we do have some new skins coming.
989s	They are celebrating the spooky season, Halloween season.
993s	So let's check those out.
1025s	All right.
