Leveling up to 50 and subsequently progressing through Tier 1 and 2 are intended to be used as a road for players to understand the many systems within Lost Ark, encourage exploration in the vast world of Arkesia, and learn how intricate mechanics play out in dungeons & battles. We’re excited for players to ramp up into more challenging and complex content as they progress in their journey, such as Legion Raids, which serve as hurdles for players to challenge themselves, master systems, and learn complex mechanics— so let’s talk about how you get there! The current ‘welcome’ system in Lost Ark includes the Mokoko Challenge - which is why the community endearingly refers to new players as Mokokos. The Mokoko Challenge layers in additional progression mechanics to help accelerate new players through Tier 1 and 2. [list][*] Mokoko Buff - Players that have a new account or haven’t played within the past 30 days and have no characters at item level 1370 or higher will receive the Mokoko Buff. Users with the Mokoko Buff will deal 20% more damage to monsters and take 40% less damage. After 90 days pass or a character in your Roster reaches item level 1370, you will no longer be considered a new adventurer and the buff will end. [*] Mokoko Challenge Missions - Players that have the Mokoko Buff active can complete special missions to earn honing and other progression materials, helping them reach item level 1370. When the Mokoko Buff ends, the Mokoko Challenge missions will no longer be available, and unclaimed rewards for completed missions will be sent to Universal Storage.
