You’ll also need to get your character’s item level up to 460, which is a mark you won’t be able to hit until you’ve participated in a few Chaos Dungeons and raised your item level via honing.įrom there, you’ll need to accept two quests from the Queen at North Vern: A New Voyage and Wall of Procyon. That should happen shortly after you complete the Wavestrand Port questline (which rewards you with your first ship and sends you out to sea). More importantly, you’ll need to clear a few progress barriers before you’re able to see those ships and participate in the events associated with them.įirst, you’ll need to unlock the ability to actually sail a ship in Lost Ark. That means that there will be times when you’re parked on the exact spot where a Ghost Ship will eventually spawn but won’t be able to interact with it until it actually does. The first thing you need to know about Ghost Ships is that they only spawn every handful of hours on the hour. We’ll talk a little more about that slight catch a bit later in this guide. On that note, please keep in mind that you can raid ghost ships whenever you happen to encounter them, but you’ll only be able to claim rewards from these raids once a week. It’s not easy to clear these ships (their phantom crews are surprisingly tough), but the rewards are typically worth it. Once you find one, you’ll have the opportunity to board it and try to eliminate waves of enemies before time runs out.
It’s best to think of Ghost Ships as floating special events/mini-raids.
