Lost Ark: Thanks to the events currently running, you can equip your summoner quite quickly in December. Source: Amazon Games For players excited for the summoner’s arrival, the two ongoing progression events will remain active: a Punika power pass and a Hyper Express event, which accelerates a character from item level 1,302 to 1,445 can. Better save it for the summoner if you haven’t used it yet!
You will receive a Punika Power Pass after completing Punika “Berver’s Friend” quest during (or before) the event period. The Punika power pass works like the Nord Vern power pass that all players had in the starting version of Lost Ark (buy now €19.99): Once you have completed the storyline on this continent, you can use it to create another character bring to this point in the game. The Punika Power Pass grants you item level 1302 gear.
You can also designate a character between item level 1302 and 1445 to participate in the Hyper Express event, where you can get booster materials and quickly level up to item level 1445. The selected character will receive rewards from missions if they increase their item level to 1445 – granting an especially valuable reward.
