Core character progression

The two that matter most, on every character you actively play. The Chaos line is a single shared budget — Chaos Dungeon, Kurzan Front and Chaos Rift all draw on Aura of Resonance and Rest Bonus, so you are choosing WHICH to run rather than running all of them. Chaos Rift costs 100 Aura per entry; Abyssal Reversal I is Item Level 1730+ and Reversal II, added in June, is 1750+ and currently the highest. Guardian Raids run one reward clear per character per day and the featured upper-T4 Guardian rotates weekly, so check before you queue: Guardian's Afterimage and Shade Stage 1 at 1730+, Shade Stage 2 at 1750+.

prioritySpend Aura of Resonance on the Chaos line
Take the highest activity your character qualifies for — Chaos Dungeon at lower tiers, Kurzan Front for Tier 4, Chaos Rift at 1730+. Lean on accumulated Rest Bonus rather than feeling obliged to clear every character every day

Reputation — only until it is finished

⚠️ This group retires itself. Daily Una's Tasks now pay Roster EXP, Combat EXP and Reputation Points, and once a task's final reputation tier is complete the Una disappears and cannot be accepted again. So this is worth doing while a reputation track is open and worth nothing afterwards. Chase the ones that pay account progression: Skill Point Potions, Giant's Hearts, Island Souls, Omnium Stars, Stat Potions, emotes and songs. ⚠️ Do NOT add Weekly Una's Tasks — Amazon replaced them with Milestone Missions in February 2026.

Up to three slots, on characters with useful reputation still open. Stop doing a given Una the moment its final tier completes
Reward Roster EXP, Combat EXP and Reputation Points

Scheduled roster content

⚠️ None of these is guaranteed every day — they run on the in-game calendar, so Procyon's Compass is the authority rather than this list. They are roster-wide rather than per-character. Item Level 1750+ characters now have a dedicated Chaos Gate reward bracket, and 1750+ players get increased upper-T4 honing material quantities from Sevek Atun. Note that older Tier 3 Field Boss reward rules changed, so a T3 boss should not be treated like the current T4 progression boss.

Guild

Low effort and worth keeping up. The modernised Guild UI tracks daily login, donation and research-support status in one place, so this is one visit rather than three.

Stronghold and economy

⚠️ These are TIMER-based, not tied to the daily reset — dispatches, crafts and research finish on their own clocks and drift against 10:00 UTC. Checking once a day is simply efficient; the entry is a prompt, not a lockout. Life Energy likewise wants spending before it caps rather than on a schedule. ⚠️ SERVER MERGE WARNING: Training Camp progress is RESET by the August merges, so collect that experience before Aug 26.

Rapport

Only relevant while horizontal progression is unfinished. Crystalline Aura grants an extra daily Rapport action, which is the clearest confirmation this is still a daily-limited system.

Transitional — remove when done

Kenuart Fortress was designed as a transitional daily dungeon to get characters into Tier 4 relic gear, not as permanent homework. Take it off your own list once the character has the set.

Only for characters still transitioning into Tier 4 gear
Reward Tier 4 Relic gear

Subscriptions — only if you have them

Neither applies to most accounts. Inanna's Blessing gives one free Chaos-line run per roster per day that behaves like a rested run and consumes neither Aura nor Rest Gauge — so it is genuinely additional rather than a discount.

Event daily — CLOSES AUG 19

⚠️ The Twilight Exchange Shop closes before the August 19 maintenance, brought forward from its original September 16 date because of the server merges. The event pays 200 coins per day from Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids — but the currency dies with the event, so the spending matters more than the earning at this point. Retire this group once the event closes.

Weekly — Wednesday16

Milestone Missions

The current weekly homework system, which replaced Weekly Una's Tasks, Roster Missions, Mokoko Challenge and the previous Growth Missions in February 2026. Amazon's figures: up to 300 points per character per week, and up to 1,000 points held at once. ⚠️ Sitting at the 1,000 cap means you stop earning entirely — spend down before you get there. Objectives complete naturally through Chaos-line content, Guardian Raids and End Content, so this mostly tracks itself if you do the rest of the list.

priorityProgress Milestone Weekly Missions
On every character you actively play. Spend points on a growth reward rather than banking toward the 1,000 ceiling
Reward Up to 300 Weekly Mission Points per character

Upper T4 weekly

Amazon states the entry limit plainly: one time per character per week, resetting every Wednesday at 10:00 UTC. Stage 1 is 1730+, Stage 2 is 1750+. Farming Sand of Trial from Chaos Rift first improves the clear reward, and up to 5 can be held per character — so the ordering matters more than the clear itself.

priorityClear Haal's Hourglass
Once per character per week. Bank Sand of Trial from Chaos Rift before you clear, not after
Reward Upper-T4 progression, improved by Sand of Trial

Endgame raids — a rule, not a list

⚠️ You do NOT run every raid you are eligible for, and a tracker that listed them all would be actively misleading — Lost Ark caps how many characters can earn gold and how much End Content pays out per week, so the whole skill is choosing. Current Tier 4 ladder: Echidna (Kazeros Overture), Behemoth (Epic Raid), Kazeros Act 1 Aegir, Act 2 Brelshaza, Act 3 Mordum, Act 4 Fortress of Destruction, Denouement: The Final Day, Shadow Raid Serca, and Horizon Cathedral. Legacy raids — Valtan, Vykas, Kakul-Saydon, Brelshaza Legion Raid, Kayangel, Akkan, Ivory Tower, Thaemine — remain useful mainly for newer characters, Solo Mode progression, achievements and catch-up, and several of their reward systems were streamlined or removed during 2026.

Pick the most valuable raids each character is eligible for, within the gold-earner and End Content reward limits. Higher is not automatically better if a lower raid pays more for the time

Horizon Cathedral and Shadow Raid

Both had prerequisites removed in July 2026 — Horizon Cathedral lost its Main Quest requirement and Serca lost its Guide Quest requirement, so Item Level alone now gates them. Horizon Cathedral runs three stages (1700+, 1720+, 1750+), two gates each, with entry counts SHARED between stages and counting against the normal weekly End Content limits. Serca is 1710+ Normal and Matchmaking, 1730+ Hard, 1740+ Nightmare, and Matchmaking Mode shares entry and gate progress with the standard versions.

Paradise — Season 4

Seasonal content running July 15 2026 to February 3 2027, with weekly per-character activities inside it. The three parts feed each other: Crucible ranking rewards reset weekly and Crucible is also where Hell Keys come from, so Hell is not an independent weekly lockout — your run count is simply however many Keys you hold. Elysian provides at least 5 entries per character per week before bonuses.

Guild weekly

The old Guild Weekly Tasks were renamed and restructured into Guild Missions, and Bloodstone exchange now lives directly in the Guild UI rather than at a separate vendor.

Weekly shops

Several vendors carry weekly-reset stock and it is easy to miss a limit. Amazon's July update confirms some Growth Support purchases reset weekly, and gives the Bracelet Bonus Rework Ticket a limit of 10 per character per week.

Event weeklies

⚠️ Two of these close before the August 19 maintenance — Amazon moved them forward from September 16 because of the server merges. Act 2 Extreme runs on to September 16 and is the highest-value weekly currently in the game: one clear per ROSTER per week, and the gold is paid even on characters not designated as gold earners, which is unusual enough to be the reason to prioritise it. Normal, Hard and Nightmare share the single weekly entry, so pick one.

priorityClear Kazeros Raid: Act 2 Extreme
Once per roster per week. Normal 1720+ for 20,000 Gold and 150 Coin of Fire and Ice; Hard 1750+ and Nightmare 1770+ both for 45,000 Gold and 200 Coins. Requires the Main Quest 'The Way Forward'

Ark Pass — closing before the merge

⚠️ The Desert Wanderer pass was originally scheduled to end August 26, but Amazon states the season 'will close before the merge' and that 'unclaimed rewards will not be available afterward'. No more precise cutoff has been published, so treat the Aug 26 merge as the deadline and claim as you go rather than banking. 30 levels, free plus Premium (1,500 Royal Crystals) and Super Premium (3,000). A new season starts after the merge completes.
