Lost Ark: Rimeria Besieged Update – Assault, Combat Analyzer & Honor System!

Lost Ark has launched its latest update, “Rimeria Besieged.” This patch features Assault: Rimeria, a nine-week event transforming Shae and introducing new group activities, progression rewards, and a performance-tracking tool. Lost Ark, initially released in Korea in 2019 and localized by Amazon Games for North America and Europe in 2022, is an isometric action-MMO known for its tough raids, fast-paced combat, and frequent limited-time events. This update continues this trend, adding some long-awaited quality-of-life improvements.

The highlight is a two-part PvE experience, scaling from solo to eight-player content and fitting into the game’s Tier 4 progression. Smilegate RPG is also introducing a Combat Analyzer for in-game performance analysis and an Honor System to reward cooperative players. Here’s what to expect:

• Assault: Crimson Abyss, Narhash – One to four players. Normal requires item level 1,660; Hard requires 1,700. Weekly lockout, scales with party size.
• Assault: Flame of Destruction, Tarkal – Eight-player raid for Tier 4 veterans (1,680 Normal, 1,720 Hard). Shares lockouts with other endgame raids and drops Ancient-grade loot on Hard.
• Event Currency & Shop – Earn medals from both activities to trade for honing materials, engraving books, accessories, and cosmetic items. All rewards are roster-bound.
• Combat Analyzer – Built-in DPS meter that analyzes damage, healing, and timelines across raids, dungeons, Guardian hunts, and Trixion training. Save, compare, and view records in a compact overlay during combat.
• Honor System – Award up to three Honors per week to commend teammates. Accumulated points raise an account-wide grade, visible on loading screens via the Hall of Honor.
• Revelations & Kurzan Events – Seasonal events running through December and November respectively, with daily objectives and community progress trackers with rotating reward pools.
• Skin Crafting & Cosmetics – New dye patterns, class-specific transmogs, and the Sky Dance cosmetic line added. Attendance rewards now recognize 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000-day veterans.
• Quality-of-Life Tweaks – Faster gem tuning at 1,640 item level, improved inventory search, streamlined gold drops, and solo-mode balance changes for older Legion Raids.
