Lost Ark – Ark Pass Explained: All Rewards, Skins, And How To Level Up

With the arrival of Lost Ark’s major Battle for the Throne of Chaos content update also comes the free-to-play MMORPG’s first battle pass, aka the Ark Pass. This new reward track doesn’t replace any of the existing ones–there’s still the daily log-in bonus rewards–but offers yet another way for dedicated players to earn additional honing materials, currencies, ship materials, cards, and even a mount, for free. Here’s everything in the first Ark Pass and how to earn its rewards.

How To Progress The Ark Pass

An example of the various missions that can be completed for Ark Pass XP.

To level up the Ark Pass and earn new rewards, you’ll need to complete missions that reward Ark Pass XP, which can be found under the Ark Pass screen. There are both Normal Missions, which can be repeated multiple times per week until a weekly XP limit is reached, as well as Season Missions, which can only be completed once per Ark Pass.

Many of the Normal Missions are tasks you’ll already be accomplishing if you’re a frequent player. These involve clearing Chaos Dungeons, Guardian Raids, and Abyssal Dungeons, as well as completing daily Una’s Tasks. The Season Missions are also things you’ll likely already be doing, but aren’t as directly tied to end-game progression. These missions can be anything from using the Ocean Liner 20 times or playing music 20 different times on your instrument. You can also, if you choose, purchase Ark Pass XP directly. Ark Pass progress and claimed rewards are shared across your entire roster.

Lost Ark Ark Pass Rewards

You’ll be spending a lot of time collecting rewards on this screen.

The Ark Pass is divided into three separate reward tracks, one free track and two premium tracks. The vast majority of the rewards are found in the free track, but the Premium reward track also contains a fair amount of extra goodies, namely Rapport item chests, additional honing materials, and an exclusive pet.

That being said, the best rewards, such as the Noble Banquet skin collection, require the Super Premium Ark Pass and are more sparsely spread throughout the Ark Pass around every five tiers or so. The Premium Ark Pass can be purchased for 1,500 Royal Crystals (roughly $15) and the Super Premium Ark Pass can be purchased for 3,000 (roughly $30). The Super Premium Ark Pass contains all rewards found in the Premium reward track as well, and if you start off with the Premium Pass you can upgrade to Super Premium at any time before the pass expires for an additional 1,500 Royal Crystals. Both premium tracks can be purchased until June 18, with the pass expiring on July 14. Below is the full list of Ark Pass rewards.
