Unlock your strength at Lost Ark

The fortresses are unlocked relatively early in Last Ark, before starting to travel around the world. After completing the mission of the history "to the glorious wall", you will be taken to East Extra. Few missions in that continent will unlock the guide mission for strengths.

Once your personal strength is unlocked, it will be available for all the characters. The only requirement for new characters is unlocking scores during the mission "Legends and fairy tales". This allows the use of "Song of Hearth and Home", which can be released outside the dungeons to teleport to the fortress.

Summary of the Fortress of the Lost Ark

Your strength has its own level, separated from the combat and roster levels that are used during the normal game. This increases through research in the laboratory, the elaboration of articles, sending boats in missions and the realization of Weekly Stronghold missions. By completing the tutorial missions, its strength should reach level 5 without problems, although level up after that will be much slower.

To perform Stronghold tasks, you also need Action Energy. This is replenished at a predetermined rate of 100 every 10 minutes, with the maximum limit linked to Stronghold updates and your level. The strengths are composed of six main facilities, each of which offers a different benefit to players.

Fortress of the Lost Ark - Laboratory

The laboratory is where you will improve your strength, unlock preparation recipes and more. This is done through research, a process that requires materials (iron mineral of mining and logging of logging) along with a certain amount of time. The real time required can oscillate between a few minutes and almost a full day, according to what is investigating.

Due to this time requirement, you will always want to have something investigating in the background. The icon of the house in the upper left part of the screen can be used to see if there is any ready research, so still reviewing while you play.

As its strength level increases, it increases the amount of research available. Over time, you can investigate the laboratory updates, which allows you to start several research tasks at the same time.

Fortress of Lost Ark - Workshop

The workshop is where you will be elaborating articles. Unlike Trade Skills, there are no levels linked to the elaboration, and the recipes are unlocked through the laboratory mentioned above. The elaboration is important for the end of the game, since it is where you can make useful potions and pumps. The potions made in the laboratory are especially useful, since they cure according to a percentage of your total HP.

The laboratory also uses real time when it comes to manufacturing items, and most cost gold coin instead of silver. The elements are manufactured in order, although you can have many production lines on the fly when your workshop is updated.

Fortress of the Lost Ark - Station

The station houses your boats, which are sent to complete daily missions. Normal missions are exclusive from the station and provide Stronghold experience, interchangeable tokens and rare materials. Instead, special missions are based on regular content such as Chaos Dungeons, allowing you to obtain equipment and improve materials in a passive way.

The number of missions you can do at the same time is linked at the level of the station, along with the number of crew on each boat. New members of the crew can be recruited through the obtaining of STRONGHOLD CREW request forms; These generally take the NPC Visiting Traders.

It is worth sending boats in missions at all times, although they lose durability over time. This can be repaired with iron and wood mineral, the same resources that are used for laboratory research.

Fortress of the Lost Ark - Mansion

The Manor allows you to place certain structures that offer bonuses to your Stronghold, including a reduced Action Energy consumption when performing certain tasks. You can also see which areas can be unlocked: The new areas are mostly closed behind laboratory levels and research.

Fortress of Lost Ark - Training Field

Unlocked once one of your characters reaches level 52, the training field will allow the characters of lower levels to win experience over time. However, this only works with characters that have two levels or fewer of your maximum level character. For example, if its main one is level 58, then the alternates will only obtain experience when training up to level 56.

The experience gain increases if you have an active subscription of Crystalline Aura, as this gives you the Ultimate Stress Buster training doll.

Fortress of the Lost Ark - Knowledge

Knowledge allows you to promote characters at level 50, omitting a certain amount of history in the process. This system has many linked limits, starting with a history and element level block. To unlock each transfer of knowledge, you must have a number of characters that have already reached a certain point in history and reached a specific level of element.

The easiest unlock is a jump to North Vern, which only requires an element level of 10 and completing the main mission of Vern. However, you will also have to pay 600 gold; Subsequent jumps require even more.

Fortress of the Lost Ark - Extras

Apart from these main facilities, there are some other reasons to visit your strength. There are a number of providers that can be used to exchange tokens (usually from station missions) and materials. At level 4 of the laboratory, you can also unlock a commercial skill area. The materials herein can be used in the fortress, but can not be exchanged with other players.

It is also possible to customize your strength with several cosmetic structures and items. Each has a cost, and each area of ​​the fort has a separate cost limit. Your other created characters and the NPCs that became friends through the relationship system can also be placed on your island, at a cost of separate points for the structures.
