How does Lost Ark’s Gear Tier system work? Answered

Your Gear Tier score in Lost Ark shows your overall strength in the game, preparing you for the more difficult challenges and dungeons awaiting you. You’ll want to keep an eye on your Gear Tier as you progress through the game, and there are some key things you’ll want to learn about it so you can increase your character’s power. In this guide, we’ll cover how the Lost Ark Gear Tier system works and what you need to know about it.

Each item on your character, the ones on the left side of our character profile, add to your character’s overall Gear Tier score. This includes your weapon, helmet, shoulders, chest, arms, and leggings. Add those all together, and then divide by six, and you’ll get your character’s gear score. Admittedly, you don’t want to worry about your Gear Score too much until you hit level 50, as you’ll steadily unlock more gear until you reach a Gear Score total of 250.

Here’s a breakdown of all the Gear Scores tiers. After reaching level 50, you can start to worry about the Gear Tiers above the first one.
