“Break Through to Thaemine” may not exactly roll off the tongue, but it’s rolling out to Lost Ark’s live servers tomorrow anyway. And headlining the patch – literally, in this case – is the Breaker advanced class as promised. “Breaker is a male version of the Scrapper and is a force to be reckoned with, using his Heavy Gauntlets, mobility, and combos to deal massive damage,” Amazon reminds us.
There’s more to the patch, of course, including catch-up mechanics and the punchline to the joke about where the lost ark actually is.
“Light of Destiny Story Update – The location of the Lost Ark is getting closer to being revealed. As the situation grows more unpredictable, players must face the chaos as they follow their path. The Light of Destiny update will reveal the location of the Lost Ark, which will bring us closer to the end of Story Chapter 1. It will be a story that answers some of the most important questions of the journey to find the Lost Ark after Voldis and brings players to a new location— Praeteria.
“Arkesia Tour – Arkesia Tour is a horizontal catch-up mechanic that has 4 tiers of missions, built to help players catch up on islands, adventure time, skill points, and more! This event will make it easier for new and returning players to play with their friends and enjoy the end game, or help current players fill any gaps in their collection of horizontal content rewards. Completing all the missions gives hundreds of rewards, such as runes, potions and more.
“Descend into Darkness – Road to Thaemine has been renamed to Descend into Darkness as players prepare for the Darkness Legion Commander’s arrival in April. The rewards differ slightly from previous iterations of the event, and are built to help progress a single character quickly from 1580 to 1600, with additional support as players approach Thaemine at Item Level 1610. This special event also includes a Gear Honing Support Effect as well as special missions to earn additional Raid & Abyssal Dungeon materials.”
Downtime actually begins at 5 a.m. EST tomorrow morning; servers are expected back up around 9 a.m. EST.
