The July Spells in Spades update introduced a substantial amount of new material into Arkesia the week before last. This new content included the Arcanist Advanced Class, the Valtan Inferno Raid, the Maharaka Summer Festival, Challenge Abyssal Raids, new advancement events, and plenty more! If you haven't yet traveled to Arkesia to get a feel for it firsthand, make sure to look over the complete list that is included in the release notes.

Even though there has been a deluge of brand new content, we are aware that players are eager to learn more about what will be arriving in Arkesia throughout the course of the remaining summer months. During the months of August and September, the routine will change slightly. We will not be releasing a single significant update every month; instead, we will break the changes, updates, and new content up into three separate updates: a more minor content update in the month of August, an update focused on improving the quality of life and the back-end technology in the first few days of September, and a major content update toward the latter half of the month of September.

The following material and updates are some of the highlights that we know players are looking forward to, and similar to the past roadmaps, this list is not a comprehensive list of everything with Lost Ark gold that will be releasing in these updates. Stay tuned to our website, social networks, and the release notes for the complete list of new content, store updates, events, bug patches, and more.

AUGUST
PET RANCH
The Pet Ranch is the ideal location for you and your pet to have fun while also developing both of your skills and earning rewards. Full completion of the "Yay, Pet Ranch!" ' mission once you have a pet, the farm, and the cave unlocked for you. Restores your pet's morale, allows you to regulate your pet's functions, and awards Jelly Cookies, which can be traded in for great rewards!

MAHARAKA FESTIVAL - BLOOMING MOKOKOS
The Maharaka festival, which is now taking place, will add new activities in the month of August Update - The leaves that fall from the Maharaka Tree in Maharaka Paradise are rumored to bring good fortune. During the Maharaka Festival, try to amass as many as possible so that you can trade them in for various horses, animal skins, and other items.

SEPTEMBER - PART 1
Two significant improvements are planned for the month of September, as was already indicated. Important back-end technical upgrades will be included in the first update for September, which will pave the way for the second release for September. We also believed that now would be a good time to include some of the new quality of life improvements that have recently been implemented to the South Korea region.

SEPTEMBER - PART 2
The second patch in September will be the major content patch, and it will include a new Advanced Class as well as Legion Raids and events. This upgrade will also involve the merging of a few servers. We will continue to monitor which worlds potentially benefit from a merge, and we will publish extensive details leading up to the update on which servers are merging and how the merge process works.

MACHINIST, AN ALL-NEW ADVANCED CLASS!
The Machinist travels to Arkesia equipped to the teeth with the most advanced machine guns, laser weapons, and drones that can be found in Arthentine. He is prepared to blast, burn, and neutralize any threat with surgical precision. The Machinist can activate their identity skill and outfit up in cutting-edge technology with the Hypersync ability in order to take down a target when normal weapons and drone strikes aren't enough to take them down. Once activated, the high-tech Hypersync suit's energy cores can be charged through landing attacks; but, once activated, the energy in the Hypersync cores will be consumed by abilities until the Machinist runs out of it. The Machinist will become the sixth Gunner Advanced Class, joining the Deadeye, Gunslinger, Artillerist, and Sharpshooter in the roster.

KAKUL-SAYDON LEGION RAID
The third Legion Raid sees the arrival of Kakul-Saydon on the battlefield. During this raid, you will engage in combat with members of the Mayhem Legion and the Legion Commander, Kakul-Saydon, while confronting the insanity of the Midnight Circus. During the combat, there is no option to be revived, therefore you will need to be prepared to fight for your life. Kakul-Saydon is a four-player Legion raid, in contrast to Valtan and Vykas, which require two players each. This Legion Raid consists of three gates, and it has a plethora of new one-of-a-kind features, powers, and mechanics. Players will need to have an Item Level of 1475 in order to attempt the Normal difficulty of the raid; however, a less challenging version of the raid known as Midnight Circus: Rehearsal can be entered by players with an Item Level of 1385 in order to practice the challenging mechanics and teamwork that are required to defeat the Mayhem Legion.

NEW EVENTS, NEW SKINS MORE!
September will bring about new occurrences, new skins, and considerably more content than that. The epic conflicts that will be fought against Kakul-Saydon, as well as the high-tech battlefield prowess that the Machinist will demonstrate, have us quite thrilled. Via the following months, a full list of new islands, store improvements, event additions, bug repairs, and other content will be made available on our website, in our social channels, and in the release notes. We'll see you in Arkesia!
