How you can do gathering and crafting in the Lost Ark? Why you should do Lost Ark life skills? It's an important topic because for most MMO players, lost ark does things quite a bit differently when it comes to crafting and gathering.

Lost Ark Life Skill Guide- Best 6 Tips For Crafting and Gathering Professions

Life skills are used to gather resources for crafting and are split into six professions： 

- Herbalism for gathering plants and mushrooms

- Lumbering for trapping trees 

- Gathering wood mining for gathering ore 

- Hunting for gathering meat 

- Skins fishing for catching fish

- Pearls and archaeology for unearthing relics.

How to gathering and crafting in Lost Ark? 

Each of these skills starts at level 0 and can be leveled up to 30. At certain points in this leveling process, you gain passes related to that skill like becoming uninterruptible while gathering this tends to make these skills much more efficient, you get to a higher skill level, unlike most other MMOs, however as you gather, you use something called life energy or energy of life which is a set amount of points, you get each day on your account, not character.

If you'd like to gather more on an alt, it has to be a whole new account, because if it's two characters in the same account, you still count, you still cannot gather any more these things mean that the amount you can gather and level each day is limited.

It is a good idea to specialize in just one or two gathering professions to get the most out of them and level them quickly and competitively to perform a life skill, you have to find a node in the world and have the required life skill gear, this gear can be bought at low tier from vendors, can be bought from the auction house at higher tiers or you can craft it yourself at a higher tier with kits, you obtain from archaeology drops or from purchasing.

Why do need to use life skills in Lost Ark? 

Life skills are important in the lost ark, because they provide materials needed for all kinds of valuable crafts, cover the primary use of each skill starting with herbalism.

Herbalism

Herbalism is primarily used to gather ingredients for potions which are necessary for most PvE and PVP content in the game, herbalism is especially important because not all the potions in the lost ark are created equal regular potions found in random drops and bought from NPC vendors heal slowly over time and are essentially unlimited whereas battle potions are crafted using rare mats from herbalism and are the main ones, you're going to use in things like dungeons and raids because they provide large instantaneous healing the mats used in these potions come from herbalism and become more common.

Lumbering

Once you hit level 30, unlock a skill that causes them to drop more frequently, lumbering focuses on gathering wood, and the biggest reason, you're going to do, this is just for your basic lumber which is a really important ingredient in upgrading your stronghold because it's a basic item, it's fairly cheap, but you can also pretty much always make money by selling it because people always need to upgrade their stronghold.

Mining

Mining ends up similar to logging in that it is used mostly for stronghold ingredients important side note. There is an island later in the game called speda island that requires a certain mining level, just to be able to go. 

Hunting

There's a skill from hunting where when you mine a rock, a rabbit will spawn and you hunt rabbits speaking of hunting involves hunting down rabbits and skinning them. The meat you get is used in cooking different meals that give small stat boosts for a period of time.

Fishing

The fishing is used in upgrade materials and the really important battle potions that also have materials coming from herbalism fishing functions, pretty similar to how it does in games like world of warcraft where you cast your line in a specific area, a few seconds later, you click reel in fishing provides fish that are used in cooking and pearls which are usually more valuable because they're used in producing some other important materials lastly.

Archaeology 

Archaeology is also actually kind of similar to how it is in the world of warcraft in that you follow a sensor in a specific zone to take up an artifact, and then once you've dug up enough artifacts, you can create a treasure map which leads you to a crafting kit, these crafting kits can be of various rarities with red and orange being the highest and most valuable these kits. Then allow you to create a life skill tool and the higher, the tier, the more extra perks, they have on them and potentially max durability.

On the contrary to the gathering profession system in the lost ark, the crafting system appears to be really simple, there's no leveling of skills related to armoring or alchemy or anything else.

You either have the recipe or you don't there may be no skill level that's related to it, but there are at least crafting stations kinda early on the story, you can go to craftsman NPCs in most cities who will have a list of recipes, they can create as long as you have the required mats and just will pay a small lost ark gold fee later on, once you get your stronghold, you can craft things there. While doing will take a small amount of real-world time, it also applies experience to your stronghold leveling it up to help it craft things faster later on along with other potential bonuses.
