Ark Passive System Guide
Last Updated:November 10, 2024|Changelog
This article goes over the details of the Ark Passive system, which replaces the gearing process used in Tier 3 through a more granular setup that allows a higher degree of customization and reallocation. It co-exists with the previous systems, and you can freely swap between these gearing setups.
While initially the existing systems will still be stronger when you transition into Tier 4, you will eventually want to move on to using Ark Passive when you have acquired the necessary gear pieces.
- For more general changes, check out this KR Dev Letter!
- If you're unsure when to transition, our
Ark Passive Breakpoints guide could help you decide.

Accessories
Unlike their Tier 3 counterparts, Tier 4 accessories do not feature Combat Stats (Crit, Specialization, Swiftness) and Engravings, instead being granted new options. Relic accessories can be obtained from content that requires Item Level 1640, while Ancient accessories can be obtained from content that requires Item Level 1680.
The process that grants these accessories new options is called Polishing. Each accessory can be polished up to 3 times using shards obtained by dismantling other accessories. This increases their regular stats (Vitality, STR/DEX/INT, Defense), and grants them various effects.
Accessories can be used regardless of their polish level, and can be traded at any time (limited up to 3 times).
