In Lost Ark the next big patch will be released on May 19. Meanwhile, the patch notes have also been published. In addition to the Destroyer class, there is a new raid and dozens of “Quality of Life” adjustments. We at MeinMMO summarize everything important regarding the update and server maintenance.
What are the highlights of the update? Even before the patch notes, it was known that the update brings some new features, including the Destroyer class, the new Legion raid Valtan, and the Guardian raid Deskaluda.
Everything about the major features can be read here: Lost Ark finally reveals what’s in the huge May patch – Brings new class, raids, and guild activities.
But there are also some highlights in the patch notes themselves that we do not want to withhold from you:
- A new menu for dungeons will be introduced, listing all available dungeons and raids
- There is now an auto-run function to self-defined goals on the map
- The game will now inform you in the UI whether you are attacking enemies from the side or from behind
- Two accessories with the same name can now be equipped at the same time
- There are 5 new hairstyles for the five basic classes
- The auction house has received new and better search options
- The strong Madness Berserker build received a nerf
- The Scrapper, on the other hand, received a buff – which was also needed, because in the tier list the Scrapper is currently at the bottom in PvP
- In general, there are many balance adjustments and some important bug fixes
When will the patch be exactly released? The update will be rolled out on May 19 at 9:00 AM German time. The maintenance is expected to last about 4 hours. During this time, the servers will be down.
It is expected that you will be able to play the new patch around 1:00 PM.
Lost Ark – Patch Notes on May 19
Below you will find the official German patch notes, embedded from the main page (via Lost Ark). The balance changes have not yet been translated into German. We will adjust these as soon as they are available.
Valtan’s Legion Raid
Valtan will be the first Legion raid in the western version of Lost Ark. Legion raids are challenging team-based activities that require teamwork to understand and implement the strategy necessary to combat the unique characteristics, skills, and mechanics of each Legion commander. Since Legion raids are demanding and require time, there are portals (or checkpoints) that save the players’ progress during the raid.
Valtan is a Legion raid for eight players, has two portals, and introduces a whole series of new mechanics. Players must have reached item level 1415 to face the normal difficulty, and 1445 for the hard difficulty. More details on how to participate in Valtan’s Legion raid and about the new mechanics such as the Star Caller skills and rewards can be found in the Lost Ark Academy for Valtan.
New Advanced Class – Destroyer
Equipped with a variety of skills focused on rushing into the center of battle, their hammer attacks are so catastrophic that Destroyers can manipulate gravity at their will – slowing, tossing, pushing, and pulling enemies – whatever is necessary to completely annihilate them without a doubt. The Destroyer is the fourth advanced class of warriors, alongside Berserker, Paladin, and Gunlancer. Learn more about the unique skills and playstyle of the Destroyer in the Lost Ark Academy for Destroyer.
New Activities
Deskaluda Guardian Raid
A new guardian will rise and must be defeated before it brings about an age of darkness. For Deskaluda, an item level of 1415 is required. As with the other guardian raids, you can attempt to defeat Deskaluda alone, with a group, or via match search with up to three other heroes.
Trial Guardians
Every week, players can attempt to defeat three Trial Guardians. Each guardian can only be entered with a specific item level, and each week a guardian is replaced by a new opponent. Trial Guardians raids differ from regular guardian raids not only by harder opponents but also by applying the “Harmony Scales,” which adjusts your characters’ item levels to that of the opponent. A greater challenge also brings more loot! The rewards for each Trial Guardian can be collected once per squad and are more varied than those for normal guardian raids.
Guild Activities
Being part of a guild has already been helpful for finding raid groups and utilizing benefits such as the guild shop. With this update, new PvE and PvP guild activities are also being introduced. Take on challenges across Arkesia to lead guilds and prove that your guild is the best in the world.
- Island Siege – A PvP guild activity where you compete against other guilds in PvP battles. Your rank will be determined by how many points you gain through conquering objectives and defeating enemy players. Receive rewards and effects such as gems, accessories, skill stones, and more.
- Raid Match – Enter a stronghold with your guild and challenge the mighty Sylmael Devourer. After summoning, you have a limited time to work together with your guild to quickly eliminate the Sylmael Devourer. The faster you kill it, the higher you will rise in the guild ranking.
If you are not part of a guild yet, it’s time to start looking! You can use the key combination [Alt-U] or find the guild menu in the list of menus by pressing the Escape key. When you’re there and don’t have a guild yet, take a look around and apply! Many fantastic Lost Ark streamers also have a number of guilds for their community. So check if there are guilds for a community or friends group that you might already belong to.
Content from South Vern
- There are 3 new levels of chaos dungeons in South Vern. To participate, you must first complete the quest “Chaos Invasion Wave” in South Vern. Required item levels for participation:

Wildwing Island
Arkesia is a vast land filled with a variety of dire and sometimes less dire threats. In search of revenge for the consumption of their friends and family, the Crispy Golden Chicken Kings plan to raid the island. Players transform into a chicken or beer and fight against the Chicken King boss to earn event coins. The faster you defeat the waves of enemies, the faster more Chicken Kings will appear, and the more coins you can earn!
Wildwing Island is a new event island that appears every hour to the west of Tortoyk where you can participate in co-op quests or help out alone to quell this unique uprising. As a reward, there are relationship chests, enhancement materials, Pheons, card packs, silver, and more!
Shop Updates
Neria’s Wardrobe
Neria’s Wardrobe is a limited-time skin shop that sells individual skins (head, chest, pants, etc.). Players can buy individual items for their character, such as snapback caps, t-shirts, jeans, fit-and-flare dresses, and more. Your character will wear modern clothing during their battles against epic bosses. Neria’s Wardrobe can be accessed through the new “Dressing Room” tab at the top of the shop in the game.

We apologize for the lack of localized balance & bug fix notes in the following sections. We will update this page later this week with translated text, as soon as we’re able to. Thank you for your patience!
General Balance Adjustments
Changes include updates to some Skill Runes, the damage reduction effect, and tuning for many of the Advanced Classes to balance their impact and further define their battlefield roles.
Damage Reduction Effect Updates
Smilegate RPG Developer note: “Skills that reduced damage for the player or group were too efficient in PvP, resulting in potentially boring combat due to oversimplification of skill usage and strategy. To address this, we put a limit on party damage reduction buff during PvP.”
