Abyssal Assault: Kazeros Raid Act 3 Release Notes
Heroes of Arkesia,
Prepare to face a returning foe and newly awakened threats in a high-stakes 8-player raid, featuring new mechanics, rewards, and legendary Allied Forces skills in Kazeros Raid: Act 3.
Alongside the raid, the Frontier System is offering exclusive first-clear rewards in Hard Mode for those brave enough to take on the raid at full strength.
Looking to push your power even further? The Advanced Honing system has been expanded to Level 40, unlocking new stat bonuses, tempering materials, and powerful Ancestor’s Grace effects. But there’s a catch — these materials can only be obtained through the Kazeros Raid: Act 3. Whether you’re hunting rare loot or maxing your build, you’ll need to weather the storm to rise above it.
Read the full release notes here. We’ll see you in Arkesia.
Team Update - June 2025
Heroes of Arkesia,
We wanted to provide an update on topics we discussed throughout our recent team video and some found within the latest Korean livestream. We will also be attempting to provide some clarity on other items we haven’t talked about yet. Three quick reminders before we dive in:
If you haven’t watched the latest Team Update where Roxx, Matt, and Henry cover some major upcoming changes in the West you can find it here. It has a lot of context you’ll otherwise be missing! As this is a follow-up to that video, we will provide the context necessary for some items, but not at the same depth.
We are striving to be as transparent as possible, but don’t want to share dates that could fluctuate this early in the process. To avoid disappointments, we will be sharing general timeframes in this article for the discussed items arriving after the June Update. The next roadmap will be releasing in early July, so if you’re wondering when some of these features will be releasing, make sure to tune in!
Similar to the note above, many of these items are in active development, so you may see some changes throughout the process of bringing them to the West. We will share any major updates or changes with you as soon as we can.
June Update
As June was on the previous roadmap, we wanted to share a few adjustments that will be included soon!
Raid Balance & Resurrection System for Kazeros Raids
With the June monthly update arriving several weeks after the Act 3 raid, we will be implementing a resurrection system and decreasing the difficulty of several past raids (Behemoth, Echidna, Aegir, and Brelshaza). The June release notes will have full detailed descriptions for both the raid balance adjustments along with the resurrection system, but the quick summary is that each player will receive a single revive (per gate attempt), that can be used after dying to most things (excluding certain patterns or wipe mechanics). This will allow the first few weeks of the Frontier System to remain challenging for Act 3, but will ensure that all raids become more accessible for casual players and alternate characters.
Stylebook & Stronghold Portrait Systems
We’re excited to announce that the Stylebook feature will be arriving in the main June update at the end of the month. We’ll provide a full overview in the June release notes, but a quick summary of the Stylebook is that it’s a tool that allows players to upload screenshots of their outfits and style for other players to use as inspiration. Players can upvote various looks and favorite them to influence their own styles. We’re very interested to see who will emerge as style icons in the West.
Along with the Stylebook feature, new screenshot tools will become available, including a frame feature in the Stronghold where players can display their favorite screenshots.
Summer 2025
Mokoko Bootcamp
While we saw a lot of positive feedback reinforcing the decision to tie Mokoko status to 10x Raid Clears, we also saw some player concerns about the system still having an Item Level cap after we shared the planned changes, so we wanted to share the planned level. When the Mokoko Bootcamp returns this summer with the adjustments, it will be extended to include Aegir (Act 1) Hardmode and Brelshaza (Act 2) Normal Mode. For these raids, we plan for the Item Level cap to be at 1689, so that players aren’t punished for continuing to progress after reaching the respective Item Levels for those raids at 1680 and 1670. We will continue to lookout for feedback on the system, and appreciate the feedback we’ve received so far!
Skin Collection Book
Quick context; it’s a feature that allows for a more organized cosmetic collection and expands the number of available slots to stash cosmetics in your inventory. This will release alongside the Paradise system this summer, without the power increase and ranking systems found within other versions of Lost Ark. We hope this is a helpful tool for expanding the closets of Arkesian fashionistas, but don’t want there to be additional pressure to collect every skin.
Una’s Task Improvements
In the last player survey, we had specific questions about your thoughts on dailies. The feedback provided by you, the Lost Ark Community, helped us during discussions about changes for the Western version of the game. As a direct result, we are very excited to bring the following change to the West.
Daily Una’s Tasks will be improved to help balance the amount of daily/weekly ‘homework’ activity when the Paradise system is added into the game. Daily tasks will remain, but once the reputation milestones are reached, the tasks will disappear. Daily Una’s rewards will be moved to weekly quest rewards.
General QoL
Throughout the summer we plan to implement a variety of upcoming QoL changes; everything from removing Tripod Levels & Epic Engravings to improving the support experience.
Two QoL systems we haven’t discussed previously are the Battle Analyzer feature (a feature that displays the player’s battle performance to themselves) and the Comprehensive Battle Score (a form of Gear Score that factors in a variety of power vectors). For these systems, we’re excited to implement as we believe that they will help players better understand their contributions on the battlefield, but will be on the lookout for toxicity created by these systems. We hope that other changes will help mitigate gatekeeping and toxicity, such as the updates to Mokoko Bootcamp, raid difficulty decreases, and the Kazeros Raid resurrection system.
We're still evaluating the Bound Gem changes for the Western release, and are aiming to have a further update in the next Roadmap.
Mileage Shop
Our policy for the Mileage Shop will be providing 10% of Royal Crystals spent through the in-game shop as “Prestige Points”, which can be exchanged for a variety of rewards in the Mileage Shop. It’s important to note that Prestige Points are not awarded for Steam DLC or MTX items, or for items purchased with Crystals. This will also retroactively apply to past Royal Crystal expenditures. We are currently targeting August for the full release of the Mileage Shop.
API
Our team hit some delays in releasing the feature from when we initially stated we were looking into releasing it in the West, but we are still actively investigating the path forward. We know it can be frustrating for those who were eagerly anticipating its arrival, but didn’t want to remain silent on the topic when we know it’s important to various players, content creators, and fan sites. We will continue to work on this behind the scenes, and will provide a more concrete update when we’re able to.
Looking Ahead
We have a lot of exciting content on the horizon, with Act 3 arriving shortly, another big update later in June, followed by the roadmap in early July to share the future of content of Lost Ark. As always, thank you for your passion, feedback, and support— it’s been critical in helping us shape the future of Arkesia. With a multitude of new systems and pieces of content on the horizon, some of which are being designed for the global verison of Lost Ark, your feedback and passion will continue to be essential. In the meantime, we’ll see you in Arkesia.
