Lost Ark: Preparing for Brelshaza Hard Mode

[ShawnJackson 0]

With the April update beginning to approach, we wanted to ensure that no Item Level requirements arrived as a surprise, and share some tips for new and returning players to gear up with the current progression events. Brelshaza Hard mode arrives, bringing with it Ancient gear. Brelshaza Hard mode requires:

Item Level 1540 for gates 1 & 2

Item Level 1550 for gates 3 & 4

Item Level 1560 for gates 5 & 6

The new Item Level requirements aren’t the only difference, as Brelshaza Hard introduces a variety of new challenges and mechanics.

 

Ancient Gear Requirements

Ancient gear can be crafted with materials acquired from Legion Raid Phantom Legion Commander Brelshaza Hard mode. The following conditions must be met before crafting Ancient gear:

Reach Item Level 1540.

The Achievement 'Phantom Shard Remnants' level 1, earned by equipping a full 6-set of Relic gear from the Phantom Legion Commander Raid (simultaneously, and regardless of the set bonus).

Tier 3 Upper Relic gear can be transferred to Ancient level gear. The gear's quality and set levels are maintained when transferred, unless the new piece has a higher quality.

Ancient level gear can be honed up to level 25, with each additional honing level adding 5 Item Levels.

Ancient gear shares the same set effects and options with Relic gear.
