Best tips for Lost Ark beginners

  • You will actually benefit more from skipping side quests as you see fit. The side quests offered in Lost Ark give small amounts of XP, gold, or other rewards. Spending too much time focusing on these can feel like a waste of time.
  • The first four continents are really a sort of an introduction to the game, meaning there is a lot to come after this. It's best if you get through your main quests as quickly as possible. If you are in the mood for something a bit different than the main quest, try out the Roster quests, as they are still beneficial.
  • Figure out what class is best for your play style. To do this, try out every class before picking one. In Lost Ark, you will have as much time as you need to see which class fits you best.
  • Don't neglect to develop your relationships with NPCs who reward parts of the Adventurer's Tome. Other than this, many of the other NPCs reward at a low rate and can be burdensome to interact with.
  • Hold on to valuable items until you really need them. Examples of really valuable items are HP Potions and Phoenix Plumes. You don't want to regret wasting these early on.
  • Don't worry about feeling rushed in the first part of the game; you aren't missing much by slowing down. Going through all four continents, the game does not punish you for being new. It's better to finish this part of the game to gain the necessary experience. If you miss things, you can always go back later.

Takeaway

Don't worry about getting to the max level since this will happen naturally as long as you are progressing through the main quests and putting in the time. Don't be afraid to try out different classes as much as you need. Being thoughtful and experimental in your setup, having a plethora of resources to lean on, and finishing the four continents part of the game will mean you more quickly and confidently reach the deeper action of the game.
