Lost Ark Engravings Guide (March 2022)

March 2023 · 6 minute read

Engravings are one of the most confusing elements new players are finding hard to grasp. But if you are familiar with the concept of runewords in Diablo 2 or similar games, then you will grasp the concept in Lost Ark. But there are some differences in the mechanics when compared to the similar game, the main one being negative passive traits. So to help you get better in your game, here’s our Lost Ark Engravings Guide.

What Are Lost Ark Engravings?

Lost Ark Engravings are passive effects that add additional bonus traits to both combat & class properties of your character. To say it in simple words, there are special power boosts for your character. You can check your current Engravings by pressing the Alt+I buttons. They play a vital role in higher levels if you are playing a solo game or when joining groups for PvE sessions (where others can view your character traits before allowing you to join them).

How to Unlock & Get Engravings in Lost Ark?

Engravings will be unlocked in Lost Ark while following the main story quests after you reach level 27. If you are playing in order this usually unlocks when you “Speak with Thirain” during “A Kingdom Reclaimed” quest. This quest starts right after completing the “To the Glorious Wall” quest. Then you can press the ALT+I button to bring up the Engravings menu. You will see most of them locked and greyed out.

To unlock more Engravings, you will need to read in-game Engraving Recipe Books. This will allow you to apply Custom Engravings to your character. We will try to give all the main info you need to understand in the points below.

Ability Stone Engravings

Your character has the option to equip Ability Stones to increase their weapon and armor stats. Ability Stones also hold different random normal & negative Engravings, which you can use. They are the best source to get engraving points when compared to other items in the game. You must make sure they are Faceted as they are considered to be in raw state when you first get them. Once Faceted, they will give you two Normal Engravings & one Negative Engraving, as per their Rarity Tier.
