Lost Ark’s character creation certainly offers a lot of options, but that doesn’t mean that you can create the character of your dreams with it. Luckily, it’s possible to import other players’ designs, saving you the hassle of tinkering.
in one own subreddit the community eagerly presents their most beautiful creations. If you’re lucky, you can also find the associated preset file in the thread, with which you can slip over your pretty face.
In addition to a small selection of successful replicas, you can also find out exactly what you have to consider when importing, so that nothing can get in the way of your new heroic career. You can also find lots of other tips in our handy collectible article:

To show you how close the hobby face designers come to the originals, we tried out the presets ourselves and put together a small selection of video game heroes in a picture gallery:

You can download the five yourself in the following Reddit threads (usually a few lines below the picture as a Google Drive link).
As always: These files could still be manipulated after the publication of this article. Although it scans Google itself for malware, ultimately the responsibility for the security of your data lies with you!
Especially with Kratos the resemblance is striking, but the bloodshot edges of the song by Arthas are also well hit. However, the fan version of the witcher Geralt could also be his twin brother.
Due to the public nature of the presets, it can of course easily happen that you now encounter a lot of hero twins in the first Abyss raid. You can see what it looks like there otherwise:

I have the file, but what do I do with it now?
In order for you to be able to successfully steal the faces of celebrities, there are actually only two things to consider. On the one hand you have to put the .cus file in the right directory. Right click Lost Ark in Steam and select Manage->Browse Local Files. Now you are in the main directory of Lost Ark and put the file(s) in EFGame\Customizing away.
This is where you put the downloaded presets.
Second, you should rename the file to match the customization slot you want. Is it called like in our example above Customizing_Magician_slot4.cus
However, the class cannot be changed. So a preset created for warriors cannot be applied to mages. Also, the file name must reflect the English class name. For your convenience, we list the correct equivalents here:
- Krieger = Warrior
- Martial Artist = Fighter
- Martial Artist = Fighter_Male
- Gunner = Hunter
- Kanonierin = Hunter_Female
- Magierin = Magician
- Assassinin = Assassin
You can find out all further information about embedding, sharing and converting (if the files come from other regions). in this helpful thread. You can also find other sources for Lost Ark presets there.
How is it with you? Did you tweak your hero yourself, hammered the random button, or did you use a preset? Let us know in the comments!
