Lost Ark Fast Leveling Guide (1-50 Speed Tips)

hey folks this is riker with a video guide on speed leveling in lost ark to reach end game as soon as possible level 50 is the level you want to reach to access end game content like chaos dungeons and guardian raids and if you follow this guide it'll take you about 9 to 12 hours to get there this guide is brought to you in collaboration with lost ark expert toylicious from maxwell.gg and you can follow along with the written version of this guide on max roll link in the description below now before we dive in i'll mention that the 9 to 12 hour estimate is assuming you're gonna skip all story content and cutscenes and all that so if you don't want to skip that no judgment if you want to experience the story especially on your first character it's going to take you longer but you can still follow all these tips to maximize your efficiency so tip one skip the prologue the prologue takes about 20 minutes and rewards you with a pair of goggles however the goggles do nothing they're just a cosmetic but you can always get this cosmetic in the future all you gotta do is make a new character complete the prologue and then you get the cosmetic and then you can just use the shared warehouse to transfer to your other character do note however that these goggles can only be acquired once per account on the server you're playing on and once you take them out of the box they're in and equip them they become locked to the class archetype that you're on so at that point you can only give it to your other characters of the same class architect warrior to warrior or gunner to gunner however as long as you have not opened the box yet you can then farm them on whatever character and open them on any other character but once that box is open that's when it's locked in tip two ignore the side quests to reach level 50 as quickly as possible you gotta focus only on doing the main quests until you reach the sea of guyana which will be around level 37. however there is one non-main quest that you want to do early on it's called learning about pets and you'll see it as a purple exclamation mark on your map after you've saved pride home from a demon attack completing this quest will reward you with a pet that will pick up loot for you increasing your efficiency then once you reach the sea of gana you're going to move on to the finding the arks main quest you're going to have that pop up but you don't need to do that at this point you're going to move on to following world quests save the finding the arcs for the future then as you continue to progress through the different zones following those world quests you're going to want to ensure that you don't leave arthentine and sail for north vern until you are at least level 49 with precisely 540 874 xp now odds are you don't have to worry about this and this won't even be a problem you will likely reach level 50 while still in argentine but we're bringing it up just in case level 49 with 545 874 xp is the the minimum that you need it's going to put you in a position where when you complete the north vern quest line that's going to give you exactly the amount of xp needed to ding to 50. if you are just one xp below that you will not reach 50. if this happens to be the case and again it most likely won't just do normal quests in arthentine until you reach this benchmark tip 3 kill efficiently this is just a gamesense tip killing monsters one at a time is slow and inefficient you're going to want to group monsters together and use your area powers this means don't just fight a monster because it's in front of you keep running make that monster follow you towards other monsters group them up know the size of your area powers because an area power does the same amount of damage regardless of how many targets it's hitting you're either doing 100 damage to one target or to 10 targets and at 10 targets that's a lot more cumulative damage and that'll have you complete those quests more rapidly tip four avoid the crowd now you're playing an mmo to be part of this massive world with other players but you don't want those other players stealing your kills if you need to kill a certain amount of enemies to complete a quest and you go to a zone and all those enemies are dead because other players have gone there before you and killed those enemies then you're waiting around for things to respawn so you can actually change the channel that you're in to a less populated one to reduce the odds of this happening just use the drop down menu above your minimap to change channels now that said sometimes other players are helpful if you do have other players around you killing the same monsters that you need to kill just tag each monster as long as you've dealt some damage to a monster once it dies you will get credit towards your quest you'll share credit you'll each get credit everyone who damage that monster will get credit so don't focus on killing the monsters focus on just tagging them tip 5 take it easy when you encounter a dungeon to run you might be tempted to run it on hard mode oh heart mode gives more reward right yeah well to be more efficient just run dungeons on normal while you're leveling you're gonna get the same amount of experience but it's gonna take a lot less time tip six don't farm for loot you might be tempted to run that same dungeon over and over to get more loot this really isn't necessary as you level up your gear is going to change so often so any items that you spend time farming at your current level are going to become obsolete real fast tip 7 play solo dungeons on normal difficulty can be completed solo and they don't require matchmaking while it's possible that you can luck into a really good group the way enemy health scales with a party generally makes party play slower also just throughout your entire leveling journey from 1 to 50 it's advised to just play solo entirely you might want to run with friends and hey if you want to have fun with friends i'm not going to tell you not to but if you're focused purely on efficiency it's generally less efficient to play in a group to level from 1 to 50 in a group there are often times when you're gonna have to split up to each do your own thing the game will force you to split up and then you're waiting around for your party members to finish their thing when you could have been going on and continuing on your own if you were playing solo now a well-coordinated group may be more efficient than a solo player but without practice a group is likely to be significantly less efficient tip 8 fast travel whenever you finish a dungeon teleport to the triport closest to your next main quest you can travel the triports directly from your overlay map by holding alt and left clicking on a triport so for almost the entirety of rithramus judea west and east lutera you're going to teleport to the triport closest to your next main quest after completing a dungeon but upon reaching tortoic teleporting to a triport from within a dungeon is no longer an option so starting at this point onward you're gonna use your song of escape after completing a dungeon if the main quest continues outside of it then of course when you need to travel a long distance and you have no fast travel options always use your mount in fact just always be using your mount regardless then when you eventually get a ship and travel by sea pick up barrels because these are gonna refresh your ship's space bar boost power now it's not worth going out of your way to grab these barrels but if you happen to see them along your way do go and grab them also worth noting that you can teleport directly to the port from anywhere inside of a continent by opening your world map and pressing ready to sail in the bottom left tip nine don't be a tryhard killing random monsters gives almost no experience so just kill whatever your quest demands that you kill and nothing else and move on as quickly as possible don't think that killing random monsters is going to give you great loot or great xp just kill whatever you need to the bare minimum tip 10 max out your skills as you're leveling up and gaining skill points at certain level thresholds you're going to have enough skill points to max out a single skill or eventually multiple skills but it's worth clearly stating that a maxed out skill offers a significant power boost so whenever you're able to if you have the choice max out a skill rather than have skill points spread out amongst different skills it is far better to have one maxed out skill than two or three or four skills with a couple points in them now every class has optimal skills to max out at different levels you can refer to the individual class leveling guides on maxwell.gg to know which skills to max out and when tip 11 accessorize starting at level 18 you can equip accessories these provide a big damage buff don't ignore them equip accessories as soon as possible and the best accessories to equip are the ones that give crit and specialization those are the stats to look for tip 12 combat consumables well don't combat them use them in combat don't hoard while you're leveling you're going to receive combat items again don't hoard them whenever you come upon difficult opponents like the final boss of a dungeon use these consumables we're talking about items like flame grenade flash grenade clay grenade electric grenade and frost grenade these will help shorten the duration of these big difficult long fights now that said don't just use your consumables willy-nilly only use them when appropriate don't just trash them again that's going to be generally against bosses or if you get really big groups of enemies that can really be slammed down by a nice grenade save them for these special occasions also before you obtain your first mount use swiftness robes to make long distance traveling go faster now we need to specify there's one consumable that you never ever ever ever want to use while leveling and those are hp potions these hp potions are the ones that don't restore a flat amount of your health but rather a percentage of your health and these are immensely valuable for the end game so you want to hoard those for the end game these are invaluable in raids so while you're leveling you're instead going to use apprentice healing potions these heal you by a fixed amount and they're easily obtainable whereas hb potions are gonna be a lot harder to come by tip 13 get a life or actually don't you're eventually going to unlock life skills things like logging and mining now while life skills are an integral part of the end game you can ignore them while leveling you might argue well i'll need to level them anyway at some point sure but if you get to 50 first you'll be able to level them more efficiently later and lastly tip 14 break it down don't fuss over all that old equipment that you've stopped using just dismantle it to free up inventory space and then sell that scrap to npcs because the cell value will be the same whether it is scrap or whether it is in equipment form and that's it once you hit level 50 you're then going to want to follow a guide on what to do post level 50. as always you can refer to maxwell.gg and i hope to have more lost arc guide videos for you folks as well thanks for
