Lost Ark’s Long-Awaited Machinist Class Is Here With Progression Events And More

Heroes of Arkesia, the September “Rage with the Machinist” update arrives today. The update will begin on September 28 at 12 AM PT and is expected to last 4 hours. Servers that are undergoing server merges can expect a longer downtime of up to 16 hours.

This update is bringing the new advanced class, The Machinist, which is armed to the teeth with high-tech machine guns, laser weapons, and even drones. The Machinist will be joining the game as the fifth Gunnar Advanced Class.

Next, Kakul-Saydon enters the fray as the third Legion Raid. Players will need to be Item Level 1475 to attempt the Normal difficulty of the raid. An easier version called Midnight Circus: Rehearsal can be entered by players at Item Level 1385 to practice the difficult mechanics and teamwork needed to vanquish the Mayhem Legion.

Heroes will also be able to enjoy new progression events like the free Punika Powerpass. After completing Punika’s quest “Berver’s Friend”, players will receive a Punika Powerpass. The pass will be delivered to a player's in-game mail. The Punika Powerpass will function like the North Vern Powerpasses that were available to players in the launch version of Lost Ark— once players have completed the storyline through that continent, they can then use it to bring an alternate character to that point in the game. With the Punika Powerpass, players will receive Item Level 1302 gear. This is an event Powerpass and will expire on October 26, so make sure to use it before then.

Lastly are the special event missions. Similar to an Express Event, heroes can designate a character between item Level 1302 and 1415 on their roster to participate in the Special Event Missions. It is during these missions players can earn honing materials to quickly level up to 1415. The Special Event Missions will stay active until November 23.
