‘Lost Ark’ Under The Arkesian Sun Patch Notes And Content Update, Pet Ranch And More

Lost Ark, Amazon’s popular action-RPG MMO, got a major update this Wednesday called ‘Under The Arkesian Sun.’

The new update brings everything from bug fixes to new events and a Pet Ranch to the game.

Event Guardians

Event Guardians make their way back to Arkesia in this update. According to the developers:

“Enjoy a fun twist on Guardian Raids, where you’ll hunt down three Guardians (alone or with a group) in an arena with the Scale of Balance applied. To enter, you will need to be Combat Level 50 or above and Item Level 250 or above. Your goal is to attack the Event Guardian to cause it to drop buffs, which stack up to three times. The buffs will increase your damage output by a colossal amount. After defeating all three Guardians, tokens will drop in a rewards chest, which can be claimed once per day per character. Tokens from Event Guardians can be spent at an event vendor, who has a variety of valuable rewards that can be earned each week.”

Pet Ranch

The Pet Ranch is a new location players can visit located in the Stronghold. Here you can let your pets play and grow into stronger companions.

According to the developers:

“Pets can be upgraded to Legendary by reaching max Pet Expertise and spending Pet Growth Tokens, which can be earned by exchanging Jam Cookies. Once a Pet has been upgraded to Legendary, several features are unlocked. Legendary Pets are granted a (random) powerful skill, and at random intermittent intervals, one of 3 effects granted by the skill will be applied to you while in combat. There are 6 Pet Skills which can be randomly unlocked and switched between.”

You can read all about pets and the new location at the Pet Ranch Lost Ark Academy.

Maharaka Festival — Blooming Mokokos

A new Maharaka Festival continues. Players need to collect as many Maharaka leaves as possible and can exchange these for in-game rewards. According to the devleloper:

“This month, the ongoing Maharaka festival will add a new activity— Blooming Mokokos. Taking place every other hour in Maharaka Paradise, you receive Gold by finding blooming Mokokos. The more Mokokos you find, the better your chances!”
