Lost Ark: Anniversary Update Release Notes
If you’ve read our preview of the February 2023 update for Lost Ark, you already know that Arkesia’s anniversary party starts this week. Specifically, the servers went offline today, February 8, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. for the necessary preparations. Publisher Amazon Games expects the maintenance to take around four hours. The servers should be back online by 1:00 p.m. Until then, you can while away the waiting time with the official release notes for the anniversary update, which you can find below.
Embark on new adventures, meet a new cast of characters and choose your faction in a new continent – Rowen. Rowen is a continent west of Sushire and is populated with Sylmael; Crimson Jewels, which are a valuable resource in Arkesia. After a thriving ancient civilization disappeared, Rowen fell into oblivion in the history of Arkesia. However, as rumors spread about the wealth of Crimson Jewels in this land, the factions coveting the jewels began to join forces in Rowen.
Strange tensions run between factions, and the barbaric nomads are attacking those who dared set foot on their lands. Who will succeed and who will perish in this war-torn country? The neutral ground Eliyabeck has lost its balance, and now the country is divided into two competing factions: Preigelli and Liebertane.
Preigelli was founded on the belief that the chaos in Rowen was due to his carelessness and that strict rules were necessary in Rowen. It was founded by a group of mercenaries who excelled at using machines. “Order conquers chaos every time.”

Liebertane was founded on the belief that the chaos in Rowen was due to overly strict rules and restrictions. This group of pirates and mages values freedom and passion. “We have a simple rule. Take as much as you can.”
Where lies the fate of Rowen? To begin Rowen’s world quest, item level 1445 is required. Once you have chosen a faction after completing the world quest “Devastated Eliyabeck”, you will face off against the opposing faction in PvP mode. The ranks for the factions are broken down into 15 tiers and can be earned by participating in activities to earn faction XP, such as: B. by killing members of the opposing faction and participating in daily, weekly and co-op quests. In this update, the war between Preigelli and Liebertane will begin – but the competition will be even tougher in March when the Tulubik Battlefield is released.
In this update, the first 9 faction ranks will be available to progress through. The remaining ranks (no more than 15) will be unlocked along with the Tulubik battlefield in March.

Hot spring event
The Hot Spring Event includes a daily match where you can earn Lost Ark cards for the Anniversary Event. How you about the “[Event] You can find out how to get to the new event when the Hot Springs Thank You Event” quest starts by contacting the Hot Springs NPC manager in each major city. Once you’ve completed them, the Steaming Hot Springs will change every even hour (12: 12:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., etc.) open for a competition.
During this competition, two teams will compete against each other, armed with rubber ducky hammers and vying to collect the rubber duckies. Smash the other team’s Rubber Ducky shield with your hammer to get the Rubber Ducky buff. Keep the buff and reach your team’s finish line to score points. Protect your teammates with the Rubber Ducky buff, or hold off the opposing team’s buff to prevent them from scoring. Even if you’re about to lose, don’t give up! You can destroy the opposing team’s duck basket (where their rubber duckies are located) and score lots of points. But remember, you must also prevent the opposing team from destroying your team’s duck coop. You can contest this competition once per day and squad. We wish you and your rubber duckies the best of luck!
