Mounts

Mounts are your main way to travel from point A to B within continents. Naturally, you want to look cool and unique while doing so. The movement speed of a mount is 500, this is identical between all rarities be it uncommon, rare, epic or legendary, their dash distance and special effects are what sets them apart. There are many ways to obtain mounts in-game without spending cash in the Lost Ark Shop or the auction house. We will outline mounts obtainable in Lost Ark; let's get started!

Pet Overview

Pet Features

Owning a pet provides multiple functions and effects to your character that help in PvE and outside it. A free pet can be obtained from the guide quest:Learning About Pets in your Quest Journal(J). This quest is given to you shortly after completing Demons in Prideholme (level 13). Additional pets can be bought from the Lost Ark Shop or the in-game auction house. Gain access to pet features by pressing ALT+P or CTRL + right-clicking your pet and selecting Pet Info.

Basic Stats

Auto-Looting Items is a base feature of a pet which is available for free at all times. Press the cogwheel to set up auto-loot filters for specific item tiers, levels and ranks. Your pet needs to be summoned for auto-loot to be active.

  • Loot Currency - includes picked up currencies like: Silver, Gold, Shards and other currencies.
  • Adventurer's Tome - automatically picks up collectible items.
  • Island Materials - filters any island related currency.
  • Gear and Items - lets you filter gear, materials and consumables by tier, rarity, item level and level requirement.
Auto-Loot

Pet Effect

Pet Effects provide you with a defensive and offensive buff that increase certain stats of your character. These buffs can be freely changed at a Pet Management NPC found in all major cities.

  • Pet Effects can be retrained for free an unlimited amount of times.
  • You can select, which Pet effects you want to keep active.
  • The pet needs to be summoned for the effects to be active.
Pet Effects

Offensive pet effects increase your combat stats by 10%. Meaning if you have 1000 swiftness and use a 10% swiftness bonus effect, you'll end up with 1100 swiftness. Therefore, choose a bonus based on your highest combat stat allocation to benefit the most from this system.

Defensive pet effects can be tailored towards specific encounters to protect yourself versus physical or magical damage, or simply grant you extra HP. The 5% Max HP is widely considered as the best option here. This is especially true for support classes, since many of their skills benefit from higher HP values, for example: Endless Protection, Wind of Protection or Shield.

Pet Functions

Pet functions allow you to gain access to many features that let you use them remotely. This can be done even in raids & abyssal dungeons. Crystalline Aura is required to gain access to Pet Functions. Benefits include:

  • Pet Inventory - a separate inventory that grants an additional 50 slots.
  • Remote Storage - grants remote access to your Roster and Personal Storage.
