"Imagine buying character customization presets": Lost Ark players reportedly engaging in illegal preset sales
Lost Ark offers one of the most detailed and flexible customization options to players when it comes to their characters. There are existing classes that differ in their designs and outlook. Players can customize them further using the different cosmetics available in the game. There are also character presets that users can follow to build their characters. These are widely available on the internet, but a few are making money out of them.
Lost Ark's Western release has limited content compared to the other versions. However, more and more content is being added, with new classes and bosses coming in April and May. Players can customize everything from their armor plates to their mounts. However, asking for money in exchange for character presets isn't just shoddy; it's against the terms and conditions of the game.
