‘Lost Ark’ January “Frosty Fate” Update

amazongames.com:

The Lost Ark January Update has arrived! The Frosty Fate Update includes a Karma Progression and Frontier System, Kazeros Raid Act 2, Festa of Arkesia, and much more!

Kazeros Raid Act 2: Requiem of the Floating Nightmare furthers the story of the war in North Kurzan. The Allied Forces have set out across Kurzan to create a strong barrier to protect their forces. But they face the chilling new powers of Brelshaza in a harsh, icy battleground. This 8-player raid features two gates and will require Item Level 1670 for Normal Difficulty or 1690 for Hard Difficulty.

Karma Progression System has been added. When players turn on Ark Passive, they can earn combat stats and Ark Passive related effects, accruing stronger effects by increasing Karma ‘Levels’ and ‘Ranks’ after unlocking Karma. Shadow of Karma and Destiny Stones are new key materials for the Karma Progression System added alongside the Kazeros Raid: Act 2.

Tier 4 Relic and Ancient Bracelets have been added, allowing players to earn Leap Ark Passive Points, and with an updated bonus effect list.

Frontier System affects raid difficulty (such damage and HP) and will decrease for raid bosses as time goes on. This will make the raid more approachable for more casual players while also lessening the reclear difficulty.

Skolakia Guardian Raid has been added at Purification Level 2. Item Level over 1680 can challenge Skolakia.

Kurzan Front adds Abidos 3 Operation, available to players Item Level 1680 and above. T4 Relic/Ancient Bracelets, Ebony Cube 2nd Unlock Tickets, and T4 Relic/Ancient Accessories can all drop.

Ebony Cube 2nd Unlock has been added. Players 1680+ with the necessary tickets can enter.

General Content Updates in January include new Una Reputation 'Lava Energy' and related daily Una's Quest, with two reputation levels, various runes, and other rewards.

Events for the “Frosty Fate” Update include Festa of Arkesia. Celebrate Lost Ark’s Third Anniversary in a new anniversary event on a special Anniversary
