Lost Ark Alt Guide & Tips: How To Gear And Use Your Alts Efficiently

Lost Ark is a game where there's diminishing returns on the efficiency of your time spent on one character, so the main reason to make it all is to speed up the grind and smooth out progression. Let’s check this guide shared by ThrowGod covering the Alt gearing process and the things you should be doing with your alts in Lost Ark to help your main. This will also have other tips to help you with your alts in the future. 

Getting Started

Getting started is simple, after you get your all to level 50 which in most cases will be from the power pass with the knowledge passed in your stronghold, you can start doing your dailies. But before that, if you have a character in tier 2 or 3, make sure you have the stronghold honing research. This will reduce the amount of honing exp needed and increase the chance of an upgrade by 20%. If you're still in tier 1, you'll use your alts to push you to tier two, then get the research going before focusing on your alts. 

Tower Rewards For Alts 

If you've done the tower on one character, the next time you do it you get honing materials. This will make up for the fact that you can't go back and do the island quest again. 

Daily Content

What content should you be doing on your alts? You'll still want to do your 2 daily chaos dungeons,2 guardian raids and your 3 Una task. Chaos dungeons give silver, gold and honing materials, that's the same. 

We can handle guardian raids differently for guardian raids on the main, always go for the highest level he can because the higher the guardian rate, the more materials you get. But on alts especially in tier 1 and 2 where the guardian fights are longer, we can go for efficiency, there are some fights that are way more troublesome and longer than others, try to avoid those. The guardian raids are broken up by raid levels, so let's take a look at which fights to pick for each raid level. 

- Raid Level 1: Run Lumerus or Icy Legoros, Vertus has more mechanics, the fight is longer and is way more unreliable if you're using matchmaking. Earned nail is easy, but it's only worth running if you don't have the item level for the others. 

- Raid Level 2: Stick with Chromanium simple and easy fight. Nacrasena isn't a bad pick here either, but the problem with the other two is that they have mechanics that slow down the fight. 

- Raid Level 3: Run Dark Legoros until Calventus, the Dark Legoros’ fight isn't bad, it's really simple but the travel time getting to him is annoying. Calventus is another easy fight that you get access to at 880. The map isn't as big, but pug groups seem to be hit or miss with this guy, the other two guardians matchmaking for them and they are more troublesome to solo. 

- Raid Level 4: It is a toss-up. After you get the mechanics down, the last three are pretty simple. Levenos is the easiest, Lava Chromanium isn't difficult, but sometimes he decides to be oddly mobile for a turtle. Alberthastic has a lot of mechanics, but if you're comfortable with him, it has low hp so you can usually burn him down pretty quick. 

- Raid Level 5: Go for the highest guardian because the value of the materials are so high. 

Overall, these are the guardians that work best and cut down the amount of time you need to spend on alts by a good amount. Another easy alternative is to take turns on carrying alts through guardian raids with a friend.

Una Dailies and Bifrost

Moving into your Una dailies, these can be broken up into three groups based on reward types, honing materials, reputations and silver. So for your main character, you're always going to want to do leapstone dailies. So with your alts you need to figure out the other things you want to do. In most cases unless you're bottlenecked by leap stones on your own, you don't want to mindlessly do leaf stone quests. Because you can now use these characters to push horizontal progression. For example, you have quests like repairing the seal site and whispering minuet that give you skill points. These reputations can also give giants hearts and virtue points. 

Silver income is a very big part of your upgrading cycle in tier 3. Chaos dungeons help, but if you combine upgrading your gear with adventure tone completion and re-rolling gyms, you'll be running out very fast. 

Lopang island dailies are the main choice for silver, the amount of silver you get scales off your item level, so you'll get the most value out of doing them on your tier 3 characters. To speed up unique, don't forget to use your bifrost. If you have the crystalline aura going in a level 60 roster, you'll have a total of four saved locations which is more than enough. You can easily make it work with three and even two, but the more the merrier. And if you do have 4 in total, use the last slot for wandering merchants like Burt, Mac, Jeffrey and Oliver. And the last tip for the dailies is that you don't have to do them every day, it's obviously better if you do, but if you let the rest bonus do its work, you're still making progress. 

Weekly Content

You can complete the chaos dungeon and guardian raid weekly while doing your usual daily routine. And for the third weekly, if you don't like pvping on the character, just run the boss rush one. You can knock out your weeklies with a small amount of effort. On the topic of weekly content, don't forget to do your weekly abyssal dungeons, these are great for gold generation and can give you legendary card drops, that'll be big if you do manage to have better look. You can get gold from these on up to six characters. If you have 2 characters in the same tier, use the item level requirement for the first abyssal dungeon as a stopping point for one adults. For example, the first dungeon has an item level requirement of 340, tier 2’s first dungeon is 840, tier 3 is 1325, this way we don't slow down gearing them both trying to feed them equally. If you put all of this information together, you can form a gameplay loop for your alt.

Gameplay Loop for Your Alt

Tier 1 alt gameplay loop:

- Boost characters to 302, get them to 340 for the first abyssal dungeon. 

- If your main is tier 1, funnel material to them. If not, use them to get characters of T2. 

- Do the rohendel questline or knowledge pass it at 460, phantom palace also opens up at 460. 

- Do the shades fire tower whenever you can. 

- All while doing your main set of dailies.

Tier 2 alt gameplay loop:

- At 600 you go to the great castle.

- Repeat a similar thing at tier 2.

- Get to 840 for the Ark of Arroganc.

- Do Feiton Quest line at 960, the sea of ambulance opens up at 960 as well. 

- Face fire tower for the extra materials.

- At 1100 you go to punika, you'll continue this cycle until you get to your desired item level.
