Lost Ark is an action MMO with an isometric perspective that rewards quick mechanical actions and high-skill movement. But to see the fluidity of these high-skill moves, it's best to have your framerate at rocksteady 60fps.
If you don't have the best PC to have everything set to high or above and keep 60fps, there are some options available in the Graphic/Video options that you can tweak to get the best performance you can.
First, look at what default video settings Lost Ark has set. Lowering these to Medium or Low will boost your FPS, and it's the easiest method available.
Additionally, features such as Better Depth of Field and Indirect Shadows will affect your framerate, particularly in areas with many enemies or other players. Turning these off can boost your FPS.
But graphical settings are not the only thing that affects FPS. In online games, your connection can drastically alter your frame rate. Optimize your connection by not running any other online programs, including web browsers, in the background. Ensure no other device is using your connection, and if you're on WiFi, consider moving to a wired connection.
FPS optimization is almost always linked to your hardware or internet connection in MMOs. Ensure your setup for playing Lost Ark hits the recommended specifications to play the game.
