Understanding Lost Ark's Stronghold can be a complicated process for new players, but the importance of the feature should not be overlooked. This Estate acts as both a housing system and a way to craft helpful items for end-game content. Lost Ark does a great job at spreading out additional features in the game, as to not overwhelm newcomers. However, the Stronghold can easily be discounted by players early on in their adventure, due to the number of functions for each facility.

Players gain access to their Estate around level 25, once the quest «Clerk Theo's Invitation» is completed. This mission becomes available upon reclaiming Luterra Castle during the main story. Every class in Lost Ark can take advantage of the many benefits that result from the Stronghold.

This will save players from spending their precious gold on consumables at the Auction House. Adventurers can travel to their Stronghold by playing the «Song of Hearth and Home.»
