Amazon Games is also providing Lost Ark with a fresh content update in January, which includes, among other things, a new raid.
Today, January 22nd, developer Amazon Games is releasing the January update for the action role-playing game Lost Ark, which is called “Frosty Fate”. The creators are primarily focusing on end-game content, including the new Kazeros Raid: Act 2, but also the Karma progression system and more.
Act 2 of the raid is called “Requiem of the Floating Nightmare” and continues the story of the war in Northern Kurzan. The Allied forces create a barrier to protect their forces and face Brelshaza in an icy battlefield. It is an 8-player raid with two portals that requires item level 1670 for Normal difficulty or 1690 for Hard difficulty. Rewards include Shadows of Karma and Destiny Stones, as well as Tier 4 Bracelets.
The Karma progression system is only accessible with Ark passives activated; You can then earn combat stats and Ark bonus effects, gaining stronger effects by increasing Karma levels and ranks after unlocking Karma.
The January update is rounded off by the following additional content (according to official information):
- Class 4 bracelets – Class 4 relics and ancient bracelets have been added added that allow players to earn Ark Bonus Jump Points. The list of bonus effects has also been updated. The bonuses work similarly to Level 3, where there are varying amounts of fixed and granted effects, with the granted effects being able to be re-rolled.
- Frontier System – When the limit system is applied, the difficulty of raid bosses (e.g. damage and HP) decreases over time. Players looking to clear brand new content will be able to enjoy difficulty levels similar to Korea's at launch. A lighter version will be available later. This makes the raid more accessible to casual players while also reducing the difficulty of replaying.
- Festa by Arkesia anniversary events – The third anniversary celebrations are starting a little earlier this year, allowing players to celebrate on Anniversary Island earlier. There's a new event shop and new special quests, and the Balthorr Event Raid returns with a spicy new twist. A special anniversary gift will also be sent out just before the third anniversary in early February, so players should take note!
