One of the biggest MMORPGs on the planet is getting an improved raiding experience due to self-revival. Lost Ark is among the few major MMORPGs on the market where if you die in a raid, there’s no way of getting back into the fight unless the party wipes or clears the gate. That will no longer be the case soon as Amazon has announced the resurrection system for the whole set of raids, current and future.
The Revival of Revives
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a revival system in Lost Ark, as content as far back as Argos saw a similar system, but was more in line with last year’s Behemoth raid. This is where the party as a whole has a collective number of resurrections. Instead, what Lost Ark is receiving is a new system that allows players to revive once per gate attempt, allowing for significantly more leniency when it comes to clearing a raid effectively. Before, making a mistake could very well cost a raid clear, but this has been improved to ensure there’s a greater chance of succeeding.
On top of this, June will also see the Stylebook and Stronghold Portrait Systems, something we have been waiting to get for quite some time now. The former itself is to showcase the various outfits and styles players have, allowing players to vote them up to be seen by the masses. The latter is more of something they can place in your Strongholds, taking photographs and displaying them for players to see.

Mokoko Bootcamp and Chores
Amazon has also announced various summer updates as well. For starters, Mokoko Bootcamp will be making a quick return with the newly implemented rework of the system focusing on if the player has less than ten clears to hand out the Mokoko icon. On top of this, the Mokoko Bootcamp will be extended straight to 1680, including content such as Act 2: Brelshaza Normal Mode and Act 1: Aegir Hard Mode.
We are also getting Una’s Task improvements, something that looks like it was specifically taken from the western community’s feedback as of late. Una’s Tasks in general have always been a bit of a chore, mainly because they come from old, legacy systems that feel a bit out of place nowadays. While we don’t know the specifics, Amazon has said they are looking to remove the tasks once their reputations are complete, and have Daily Una rewards be moved towards weekly tasks.
Качество жизни
Outside of these major improvements, we are also getting a Skin Collection Book, to better store and organize your cosmetics. Before, you just threw them into a menu with little organization. But now, you will have your very own book to better keep track of your skins. On top of that, the long-awaited API is expected to come in summer, the MIleage Shop will finally be heading west (giving 10% of all Royal Crystals spent as «Prestige Points» to be used in their in-game shop), and there’s a huge emphasis on quality of life improvements.
The latter in particular looks to be focused on aspects such as removing Tripod levels and Epic Engravings. Amazon and Smilegate are also looking to implement two new systems: Battle Analyzer and Comprehensive Battle Score. While the developers have stated that there will never be an official DPS meter, this will help display your own performance, along with displaying «a form of Gear Score that factors in a variety of power vectors.»
Amazon has also said they are «evaluating» the Bound Gems that were announced in Korea, something that has been a big point of contention as of late.
