Simlegate RPG and Amazon Games published a January team update blog post with tons of crucial information about next month’s Lost Ark launch, and there’s a lot more than expected. There will be way more content than Korea and Russia received when the MMORPG launched in their regions. The most surprising revelation is that EU and NA Lost Ark players will have access to some Tier 3 content from day one.

Along with the content and feature reveals, the team also provided answers to some of the community’s burning questions. The most notable of those is how to reserve names for characters, and how the skins from the Founder’s Packs will work.

There will be three additional regions available to EU and NA players when Lost Ark launches in the West. You’ll head underground to the home of a dwarven race known as the Umar. Next up, you’ll be able to venture to Feiton, a continent still poisoned from the Chain War. Feiton is home to the half-human half-demon Delains. The final additional region you will be able to explore is Punika. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy lush landscapes and the lively festivals hosted by the locals. All of these new regions mean that new quests, bosses, dungeons, T3 gear, and more will be available in-game.

To get this T3 gear, you will be able to venture into a few core T3 pieces of Lost Ark content. These are the Oreha’s Well Abyssal Dungeon, Chaos Dungeon Stage 3, and the Velganos Guardian Raid. The January team update revealed that additional T3 content will be added to Lost Ark post-launch in a way that sets a comfortable pace for player progression.

Another major addition to the Western Lost Ark release is that the Combat level cap will be 60. In the closed beta, it was just 50. Speaking of the beta,
