Lost Ark finally announces a roadmap for April and May
Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG have been clear about the game's near future. The focus of the roadmap is on horizontal content, and the developers want to offer more time before implementing endgame content. April will continue on the path of March updates as players will receive modes and content to keep leveling up.
New classes
Players will be getting a new Martial Artist class in the form of Glaivier. She will become the fifth advanced class of the group, and her skillset will offer players two distinctive styles of play. She also yields two unique weapons - spear and glaive. This will allow players to fine-tune the character according to their playstyles.
While players can focus on either weapon, the optimum way will be to balance both. The two types of attack - Focus and Flurry will balance each other. Glaivier is set to arrive in April.
May will delight Warrior class fans as Lost Ark gets the Destroyer advanced class. The Warrior class, in general, has been in a very strong position since its launch. It is set to increase even more with Destroyer, who will yield a massive hammer as his key weapon. The hammer will be used to pull and kill enemies at the player's will.
South Vern
In April, players will be getting a brand new T3 continent as South Vern joins Punika on the list. All players at or above level 1340 will be able to access the continent once the region is implemented via an update. There will be new lands to be explored, mysteries to be solved, and NPCs to be met.
Trial Guardian Raids
A new weekly challenge will also be added in May, and players will be able to defeat up to three Trial Guardians. The tasks won't be easy, and each Guardian will have its level requirements. The difficulty will be scaled according to the level of the players.
While there will be more risks and difficulties, Lost Ark players will be able to earn valuable rewards.
Quality of Life Updates
Besides the new content, specific improvements will be made to Lost Ark. This will involve the addition of certain much-requested Quality of Life updates.
- Improved co-op party play for Secret Maps: all four members can submit a map to get rewards with one run.
- Chat tab settings are shared across a player's Roster.
- Improved Book of Coordination settings: Can use skill presets, tripod level, skill runes, gems, item set effects, etc.
Tentative endgame content
Two tentative content additions could come in May. One of them will feature a new Guardian raid involving Deskaluda. Deskaluda is a high-level boss in the game, and players will have to be on level 1415 to encounter it.
Players could also possibly get the first Legion raid on the Western version in the form of Valtan. The raids will have two difficulty levels - Normal and Hard. Players will need to be at the same level as Deskaluda, and it will be an 8-member raid. Valtan will provide a stiff challenge, but Lost Ark players will be able to save their progress and win some precious rewards.
