Lost Ark – How to Play with Friends
To be able to add friends, you need to continue playing the campaign mode and reach a point when you will see Ch.X on the screen which indicates the Channel. Just check the top right section of the game screen and you should see your channel number. That’s the same number that your friend should have as well so that you both can play together. So, if you don’t see it yet, keep playing and you should be able to see it soon.
How to Invite and Add Friends to play Multiplayer?
Before creating your party, you will have to add your friend in the game. To send an invite, follow these steps.
- Open Community by clicking on the Chat bubble icon at the bottom right of the screen.
- On the Friends window, click on the Friends tab.
- Next, click on Friend Request at the bottom-left section of the window.
- Type your friend’s IGN (in-game name) and send them a request.
- After they accept the request, then it’s time to add them to your party.
How to Create a Party in Lost Ark and Add your Friends?
Now that your IRL friend is your in-game friend in Lost Ark, you need to right-click on their character name and click on Invite to Party. You can do this if you have created the party yourself. Otherwise, you can let the creator know to do the same. As soon as that’s done, they will be added to your party as indicated by the changes in the HUD (their health bar will be shown). This means now you both are in the same world and server.
Apart from this, you can use the chat command /inviteparty friendplayername or /invite friendplayername without brackets to add them to your party.
In case your friend is in the same world with you but not in your party, press CTRL and right-click on your friend’s character. Then, choose Group Invitation and they will get added to your squad.
It’s important that you plan with your friends about which server to join because if you want to change your server, you will have to start over with a new character. Yes, you cannot change servers/transfer characters from one server or another (as of now) so your decision has to be carefully made with the help of your friends.
Can you play with Cross Server Friends or Party?
You can follow the aforementioned steps to play with friends in the same region and server but can you play with cross server friends? The answer is no. You have to be in the same world and same server to see each other in the game and play together.
That’s all about adding friends and how to create a party in Lost Ark. If you are also curious to know how to leave a Guild in Lost Ark, how to change servers, how to leave a party and change mouse controls, we’ve got you covered.
