This is an event Powerpass that expires on September 28. With the Punika Powerpass, you'll receive Item Level 1302 gear. If you've already finished the quest before the update, you'll get the Powerpass when the event starts! The Punika Powerpass will function like the North Vern Powerpasses available to players in the launch version of Lost Ark- once you’ve completed the storyline through that continent, you can use it to bring an alternate character to that point in the game. Once the final quest in this chain, “Honorary Punikan" has been completed, you can talk to Nia in Nia village to start "Berver's Friend." To access this quest, players must first complete all Adventure Quests (marked by purple exclamation marks) on Punika to collect stamps and become a citizen. Players will receive a Punika Powerpass after completing Punika's quest “Berver's Friend” during the event period.
This update introduces two new progression events, a Punika Powerpass and a Hyper Express Event that helps accelerate a character from Item Level 1302 to 1370.
You can play through each Abyssal Dungeon once (per roster) each week. Various honing material selection pouches- like Challenge Guardians, you can pick the offering closest to your item level- will rotate through the rewards, and cards aplenty are available as drops or in the end-of-dungeon loot auction. With greater challenge also comes greater rewards. Similar to how Challenge Guardian Raids applies Scale of Harmony to equalize your power against your foe in Guardian Raids, Challenge Abyssal Dungeons will use this treatment on Abyssal Dungeons in a new weekly activity. Valtan Inferno difficulty will require item level 1445 for players to participate. Inferno mode will not count against your weekly attempt limit for Legion Raids, so you can play Valtan on Normal/Hard and Inferno in the same week, and try Inferno as many times as you’d like. The gate progression system will not be active - you can’t make it half-way and come back later in the week. ‘Scale of Balance’ is applied, and the raid requires use of the Book of Coordination, so everyone’s gear is normalized against the level of your Legion Commander opponent. There are a few key differences between Normal/Hard and Inferno difficulties: Rather than chasing the normal rewards of gear, honing materials, and everything else you’d receive in a Legion Raid, Inferno rewards instead showcase your victory with titles, achievements, Stronghold structures, and more! A new in-game vendor will be added for players to access a variety of prestigious rewards, earned after various numbers of clears. The most difficult version of Legion Raids, the Inferno difficulty is all about proving you’re the among the best of the best in Arkesia, and earning the prestige accompanying that feat.
