Lost Ark is now up and running, and aside from some server issues at launch (and let’s be honest, how many MMOs manage to avoid these issues?), the game is proving hugely popular, with players raving about its world and the experience it provides.
With the game launching late last week, Lost Ark is still in its infancy for the West and if you want to be among the first players to conquer its lands, check out our Lost Ark beginners guide. If you haven’t signed up yet and missed your chance to get a Founder’s Pack, you might be interested in a Starter Pack instead.
There are three different Lost Ark Starter Packs, each more expensive than the previous one. They each contain a nifty selection of in-game items that can help make your first steps into the world of Akesia a little easier and more enjoyable. Below is a summary of the Apprentice, Explorer, and Vanquisher Starter Pack. Check them out to get an idea of which one might be best for you.
The Lost Ark starter packs are as follows:
Lost Ark: Apprentice Starter Pack
The most basic pack. It will still give you some nifty benefits, but not as much as the others. It contains:
- 30 Day Crystal Aura: These give you a number of in-game benefits, such as reduced prices in shops, stat boosts and more.
- Novice Progression Support Chest: it contains the following elements:
- 30 resurrection feathers: If you die, Resurrection Feathers can be used to revive you.
- 10,000 silver coins: Earnable in-game, this currency can be used to purchase supplies and equipment.
- Adventurer’s Equipment Crate: lots of practical items, including:
- 5 Epic Horns of Luterra: These summon Lutheran soldiers to fight alongside you for 30 seconds.
- 5 rare incendiary grenades: Creates a wall of flames that you can use against enemies for 10 seconds.
- 5 rare sleep bombs: As you’d expect, these can put enemies to sleep.
- 5 camouflaged dresses: Use them to temporarily disguise yourself from enemies.
- 5 Rare Dresses of Swiftness: These temporarily increase your movement speed.
- 5 Rare Defiant Scarecrows: You use these scarecrows to taunt enemies in your area.
- Gatherer’s Toolbox: This includes foraging, mining, fishing, logging and excavation tools, which are essential for collecting resources in the game.
