To continue progressing your character past level 50 in Lost Ark, you’ll need an endgame gear set.

Here’s how to get one.

Endgame gear isn’t something you’ll obtain naturally on your road to level 50.

Chaos Dungeons are a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Thankfully, getting an endgame gear set isn’t all that complicated.

There are two main ways to deck out your character with an endgame-ready set.

Here’s the breakdown.

If you’re still in a questing mood after hitting level 50, continue on to Shushire for a full set of endgame gear.

Once you’ve unlocked Chaos Dungeons, congratulations!

So, which method is best?

It depends on your preference, as they both have upsides and downsides.

Continually upgrading your gear is the real endgame of Lost Ark.

Ultimately, the decision is yours.

From here on out, you’ll be trying to up your item level by using the honing system.

How does honing gear work, exactly?

It’s fairly straightforward.

Most of these activities can only be down so many times on a daily or weekly basis.

To upgrade your gear, head to the honing NPC.

There you’ll see a list of all the items you have that are capable of being upgraded.

Once that’s done, it’s ready to be honed.

The first few upgrades for each piece of gear will have a 100% success rate.

If you get unlucky and your honing fails, you lose all those materials used for the attempt.
