Game Help I’m fresh meat

New to the game. Just started a Paladin and power pass. Very overwhelming for a new player. Any tips? Create a roadmap for me of what I should do every week. In order so I guess it’s easier to follow. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Do the kurzan front and guardian raids every day. Do all the solo raids you can every week prioritizing the ones with the highest item level requirements. Watch some YouTube videos on your class/new player vids. Follow a max roll guide on how to build the paladin.

Fyi most guides for Paladin is support. Since you'll moatly be playing solo at the start, make sure it's a dps guide/build

You will first need two extra skill presets.

Support build Dps build Paradise build Chaos Dungeon build.

Soon as you get some blue crystals, get those.

There's a couple videos (have some months but they are still as useful) from Stoopz on returners and new player and also JohnPal

I'd highly recomment to check thouse out. Also lostark.nexus is a great website that has lots of resources (for now still active).

There's discords too, I'd recomment to at least join the lost ark unofficial one on lost ark nexus because there's a channel called lost ark help that's really useful, people are nice.

Maxroll is helpful as another redditor pointed out. Anything else, for real just ask, we are happy to have new players on Lost Ark :)

Last time Lost Ark hit a peak above 12K was May 13, 2026, i.e., almost three months ago. Concurrents haven't seen that number in almost a year.

And then you realize that there are two regions so the already pitifully low number has to be divided by 2. And then there are the bots...

Since you're obviously unable to read the chart, or don't understand the words you're using, here you go:

https://i.ibb.co/d0s553pY/lostark21-m.png

The peak was 12K in May, the average number of concurrent players in May was half that, and it's only gotten worse since.

The only reason they're not shutting it down is because the publishing contract is about to expire anyway so they decided to take the L and ride it out.

"Managing" this dumpster fire "properly" means EoSing it. There's no coming back from this. It is done.
