Lost Ark's Arbiter of Death update is live, and its centrepiece is a new Shadow Raid headed by Belgardin, the Arbiter of Death. MassivelyOP reports that the raid comes with its own reward track and introduces the Vambrace equipment slot, a new place for players to add power to a character.
Reaching Belgardin takes more than queueing. Players must finish a prologue quest first, and the fight itself is for a party of eight. MassivelyOP puts the entry requirement for Normal difficulty at item level 1750, with the harder difficulties set higher.
The encounter also brings two systems the raid is built around, a Gate Save System and a mechanic MassivelyOP names Holding Just Guard. The raid's weekly challenges reset once per week.
What the update adds
- A Shadow Raid against Belgardin, the Arbiter of Death, for eight players
- A prologue quest that gates entry to the fight
- An item level floor of 1750 on Normal difficulty, higher on harder settings
- A new reward track tied to the raid
- The Vambrace equipment slot, which can be limit broken for further power
- The Gate Save System and Holding Just Guard
The update's full patch notes carry the rest of the detail, including how the new Vambraces are obtained and limit broken to their maximum power.
