How to dismantle items in Lost Ark

Lost Ark allows players to dismantle items to acquire equipment pieces and powder while freeing up inventory.

Dismantling items in this new MMORPG opens up a lot of space in only a little bit of time. It also makes for some easy money as the pieces obtained from dismantling can be sold to vendors.

Not every item in Lost Ark can be dismantled. Those that can, will be available to break down in the inventory. A hammer button at the bottom of the screen will start the process.
