Amazon Games is ready to pull out all the stops in Lost Ark to celebrate the game’s second anniversary. The Arkesia Festival will offer several fun in-game birthday events, each with special themed rewards. In addition, players will be able to take part in Valtan Extreme in both Normal and Hard flavors.
Arkesia Festival
To celebrate the game’s second birthday, players will find a number of activities to take part in each week of the event. There will be a new co-op quest where players will earn special tokens that can be traded for “valuable rewards.”
During the Birthday Bash Event, players will take a trip down memory lane as they “re-experience some of the most iconic pieces of Lost Ark content.” Of course, that also means some special rewards for the effort.
Lastly, developers announced the winners of the Anniversary Art Contest. Players were asked to create and submit anniversary-themed loading screens. Winning entries will be added to the game during the celebratory events.
Valtan Extreme
Valtan will return in a new, challenging version of the raid. There are two versions of Valtan Extreme – Normal at Item Level 1580, and Hard at Item Level 1620. With greater challenge comes greater rewards. There are first-time-clear rewards that will be given upon clearing 2 Gates, along with rewards as you reclear. Each roster can enter the raid once every 2 weeks, with gate progress bound to the character that cleared the first gate.
