Post Level 50 Guide

Introduction

Congratulations on reaching level 50! If you thought this was an epic journey already, be excited that you've barely scratched the surface of what's possible in Lost Ark. There are lots of things to do and explore post level 50, but it's hard for a new player to grasp what's important and what isn't. Let's get to work and figure out the most efficient path forward.

Getting Started

There are several things that need to be unlocked and discovered once you've reached the starting point of endgame, follow along the steps to get started.

Warning: Beginner unfriendly! For the most extreme players of Lost Ark, follow the Speedrun to Tier 3 Walkthrough instead.
During your progression, you can follow along with our Rapport tool for detailed NPC information.

Set your return point in Vern Castle

This should be the very first thing you do so you can return to the city from anywhere in the world for free (120 min Cooldown).

Unlock your Chaos Dungeon & Guardian Raids

The Main Quest asks you to go in front of the Chaos Dungeon which essentially unlocks this content for you.
Right after doing this open your Quest Journal(J) select "Guides" at the top and accept theGuardian Raid guide. Finish it by speaking with Zarbel near the Raid Board.

Unlock your Awakening & level 50 skill

After you've unlocked your Chaos Dungeon you will get a notification from Beatrice asking you to visit Trixion. Use the Song of Trixion in your music list to visit her. She will give you the quest to unlock your Awakening skill and an extra level 50 skill. Complete it!

Complete Chaos Dungeons & Guardians Raids

Go to the Chaos Dungeon entrance and select Resonance Level 1 (item level 250), complete both of your entries. Replace your existing accessories and armor with equipment found in here immediately, as they will boost your damage greatly. With the obtained materials from both runs, raise your gear level by visiting the Gear Honing NPC Senard, your goal here is to reach an item level as high as possible by honing all gear equally.
Next up we haveGuardian Raids, select Ur'nil, kill him once and don't forget to claim his soul after you've defeated him to collect the rewards. If you're struggling with a certain boss, check out ourGuardian Raid guides.

Advanced Guardian Strategy: Defeat all Raid Level 1 guardians without claiming their soul (unchecking "Collect Guardian's Will") when prompted on entry. Doing so, you will obtain the first clear reward from each guardian while preserving the daily loot. With the first clear bonus loot, you can hone to a higher item level and reach Raid Level 2.

• If you reached Raid Level 2 you can repeat the same process.
• Once you can't get to a higher point, choose to Collect Guardian's Will on the highest guardian you can enter.

Unlock & Accept Una's Tasks

Una's Tasks are your Daily Quests in Lost Ark, hidden under a fancy name. Accessible through Alt+J or the Adventure bar in the bottom right of your screen, offering you 3 quests per day. There are various choices here, but the best ones reward Leapstone. These will help the most with your character progression. Go for 3 tasks that are quickly finished and don't require lengthy prerequisite quests to be unlocked. Keep in mind that the further you progress into the game, more daily options become available that might be quicker or more rewarding, so keep an eye out for new possible dailies.
Una's Tasks I recommend to start with are:

Anxious Mind

Replacement Parts

Ride like the Wind

Optional Una Tasks

Located in Anikka - Harbor City Changchun, unlocked by completing the Hidden Quest showcased in the picture below. The Una's Task objective will require to interact with Snow Rabbits located in the harbor.

Located on Golden Wave Island which can be found West of Arthetine, unlocked by completing the Yellow Quest and it's follow up quest given by T-82. The Una's Task will require you to collect Shipwreck Scrap by opening chests on the map.

The quest begins on Peyto which is an island located West of Anikka. Complete the quest by visiting these locations:

1. Peyto
2. Turtle Island
3. Tortoyk
4. Reverly Row

Good additional choices, but some may have restrictions which are not optimal for the initial setup.

• Alakkir Island
• Blackfang's Den Island
• Kalthertz Island
• Toto Silver Island

Optional Content

Now that you are done with your Una's Tasks, Guardian Raids and Chaos Dungeons you're free to do other fun things the game has to offer. Procyon's Compass, Marine Events, Collectibles, Island Exploration, Tower, Cube, PvP or creating another character are all things to consider in your spare time.

Summary

• Choose your strategy depending on the time available to you until the daily server reset at 11AM server time.
• Finish your Guide Quests, unlock your Awakening skill and breeze through the Main Story Quest Line as fast as you can.
• Complete your 3 main daily objectives: Chaos Dungeons, Guardian Raids and Una's Tasks.
• If you still have free time, check out the Optional Content.

If you're done with your initial setup, feel free to check out the best ways to obtain Gold and Silver or learn about Engravings, Runes, Skill Points and the Gear Honing System, all of which are essential to know going forwards.
