Lost Ark Tier 4 Checklist

• Minimum Ilvl requirement: 1600
• Clear Time
  • Shift+G: ~1h30m
  • Without Skip: ~4h

Use all your Cube Tickets to obtain EXP and T3 upgrade materials.

T3 Cube EXP

• Level 1 = 880,000
• Level 2 = 2,750,000
• Level 3 = 3,300,000
• Level 4 = 3,850,000
• Level 5 = 4,400,000

Clear this until you get full T4 Gear. Once you have full gear, there is no reason to run this content anymore.

Advance Hone/Temper to one of the thresholds listed below, based on available gold, T3 upgrade materials and T4 content goals (Aegir NM or HM).

• Temper to unlock Advanced Honing on as many parts as possible.
• Advance Hone first to +10 and Temper to unlock +10-20 on as many parts as possible.
• Advance Hone as many parts as possible to +20. Ideally, all parts.

Check Advance Honing section above before transferring!

Move all your alts to your Main's guild. To do so, open the guild window (ALT+U), go to the “Manage” tab, and click on “Join Roster”.

After you have transferred your gear to T4, visit the following vendors to convert your (bound) T3 upgrade materials into T4.

You should consider keeping your unbound T3 materials for a while, in case the price of those items spikes in the auction house. In that case, you could make a lot of gold.

Exchange Honing Materials

• Oreha Fusion Material
• Leapstone
• Destruction Stone
• Guardian Stone

Legion Raid Exchange

• Special Honing: Concentrated Leapstone

Convert all your T3 Gems to T4. Exceptions are the lvl 10 DMG gems of skills, which contribute to more than ~25% of your total damage.

With the release of S3, you are no longer limited to 18 max level tripods. Double check if all tripods of the active skills are max level.

Try to reach Level 70 since levels provide you additional Ark Passive points. Additionally, you will be able to upgrade your skills to level 13 (lvl 65) and 14 (lvl 70).

Before transferring your current equipment to T4, it is recommended to temper each part using the Advanced Honing tab, if possible.

We generally don't advise investing excessive gold and resources into advance honing before transferring. Especially if you don't want to push your alt anytime soon to unlock a new content.

After a few weeks, when the prices of t4 materials go down, you can continue advance honing on your alts, if it is cheaper than normal honing.
