Lost Ark Previews New Faction-Based PvP Battle Arriving Later This Month

Lost Ark will be getting new faction-based PvP content later this month that will pit players against each other in realm vs. realm battles.

“Sylmael Crystals once made Rowen a prosperous continent. Now, that same precious resource only brings pandemonium. The war-torn land is divided into two conflicting Factions — Preigelli and Liebertane. The machine-loving mercenaries of Preigelli fight for a society with strict rules, while the pirates and mages of Liebertane pursue a lawless land. Rowen may have temporarily been forgotten from Arkesia’s history, but one of these Factions will always be remembered as the victor at Tulubik Battlefield.”

Players participating in the new instance will be asked to choose between either the Preigelli or Liebertane factions and will duke it out in two 48-player teams on the Tulubik battlefield. Note that you’ll need to be have an item level of at least 1445 to take on the “Cataclysmic Eliyabeck” world quest requirement but they’ll need to be at item level 1490 or higher to participate in the battle.

“Capture bases and defeat foes to prove your Faction’s supremacy in 96-player (48 v 48) Realm versus Realm matches,” explains Amazon. “Each base nets your Faction Magick over time. The more bases you conquer, the faster your side’s Magick will increase. Harness more Magick than the opposing Faction to take total control of the battlefield and win.”

Participants will earn Faction XP to progress through 15 Faction Ranks in addition to Sylmael Crystals which can be turned in for various rewards, including honing materials, mounts, skins, card packs, and more. If not enough players join up, the battle will default to a “friend match” where you’ll be placed randomly into a faction but won’t earn rewards. You’ll also be able to take on new co-op quests and world bosses in Rowen in-between the regularly scheduled matches.

Pearl Abyss has yet to lock in a release date for the new RvR instance but it did offer a rundown of its opening times and schedule which you’ll find on the Lost Ark official site along with more information on the new instance.

Fight for more than just glory when Tulubik Battlefield launches this March.

Select your Faction, earn rewards, and determine the fate of Rowen in 96-player (48 v 48) Realm versus Realm matches.
