In the MMORPG Lost Ark there is character level and squad level. In this short guide, we at MeinMMO reveal what the squad level is about, how to increase this level, and what bonuses it brings.
What is the squad? The squad refers to all characters that share the same server. So if you have 6 characters on the German server Asta, they all have access to the same squad level.
However, if you create characters on a different server, you start again at 0 with your squad level.
What exactly is the squad level? The squad level is displayed with a purple experience bar. You can freely switch between your character’s experience bar and the squad experience bar in the interface.
Through the squad level, various bonuses can be unlocked, including small stat buffs and other useful rewards.
Increasing Squad Level – Here’s How and What It Brings You
How do you level up your squad? Basically, many activities in the game increase the squad level. Whenever your character earns experience points, whether through quests, the solo tower, or dungeons, your squad also gains experience points.
However, the purple quests provide particularly high experience points for the squad.
Using twinks also raises your squad level. It is only important that all these characters are on one server.
What do level-ups in the squad bring? Each squad level comes with its own reward. You can view these rewards in the squad information (key “O” in the default binding).
At the early levels, these are usually small stat bonuses like +5 Vitality or +5 Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence. From level 30 onward, items are also included as rewards, such as:
- 10x Phoenix Plume at level 30
- Greater Vitality Increase Potion at level 40
- A Bifrost Key at level 60
- + 500 maximum Labor Energy at level 70
- 2x Chest with 50 Crystals at level 90
All these bonuses apply to all characters that are part of the squad.
What is the maximum squad level? The highest level is 250.
What is generally shared in the squad? A squad in Lost Ark has access to many shared things, including:
- Cosmetic content such as skins, mounts, and companions
- Progress in the adventure journal
- Your own stronghold and the ships
- Achievements and titles
Even many of the various currencies in Lost Ark are shared with your characters in the squad.
What are squad friends? In Lost Ark, you can add both individual characters and an entire squad as friends. Squad friends have the advantage that you can see them even when they are logged in with another character on the server.
