The Lost Ark Grand Prix event is live thanks to the recent Lost Ark March update. It is a new type of casual content that is available from March – April 2022. It is a fun side activity that is worth doing, especially for players who have downtime and want to see the lighthearted content that is on offer.

In this article, we will guide you through the Lost Ark Grand Prix event. We will tell you everything you need to know about the Grand Prix, including how to start, take part, and more importantly the rewards you can get from the event.

Lost Ark Grand Prix event guide

You can only participate in the Lost Ark Grand Prix event once a day on your roster. Moreso, you can get a daily quest to enter the Lost Ark Grand Prix from an Arkesia Grand Prix Manager, located in every major city except Prideholm. You can find the Daily quest marked with the pink quest on your map and will need to be level 50 to accept the quest. See the above image for a reference on where you can get your hands on the Grand Prix content.

However, it is worth noting the Lost Ark Grand Prix event is only available every two hours. You can expect to play the event on your servers’ time every even hour. You can therefore play at the following server times:

• 00:00
• 02:00
• 04:00
• 06:00
• 08:00
• 10:00
• 12:00
• 14:00
• 16:00
• 18:00
• 20:00
• 22:00

Completing the Lost Ark Grand Prix rewards players with a new currency called the Arkesia Event Coin. Lost Ark’s Arkesia Event Coin is a new currency used for this event exclusively. You can head over to any Arkesia Grand Prix Manager and exchange the currency for some rewards. The rewards are a mixture of engravings, reagents for the gear progression, and other vanity and progression items.

It is worth mentioning the Grand Prix is also offering players other useful secrets. You can actually get a secret goblin level in Chaos Dungeons, which appears to be a random chance. Killing the goblin in your Chaos Dungeons awards the player with some bonus gold. Moreso, completing the Chaos Dungeons awards the player with come Arkesia Event Coins. We got 300 a run, but that may be related to the Tier 1 Chaos Dungeon we were running on an alt and the rest bonus. Some more experimentation is needed here so if you notice this let us know in the comments below.

The Race

As for the Race itself, it is a 7v7 PvP mode where you essentially race around a track. However, the purpose of the game is to race around as a little dragon thing – the Naruni, and collect cakes on the track. The first to collect a certain amount of this resource will win the race. However, you must try to prevent the other team from collecting the cakes you need. Both teams are awarded for their participation in the event. The event is available through to the April update and you can take part it in one a day on your roster.

When you get into the Lost Ark Grand Prix, your dragon character will have several skills. You’re going to need these skills to make sure the enemy racers don’t get to eat the cake before you do. You can get a sneak peek by looking at the race guide console in the lobby before the actual trade starts. The skills are as follows:

• Headbutt – Your Naruni charges forward and headbuts a combatent, knocking them down.
• Super Naruni – Your Naruni shoots and stuns a target hit.
• Plop Bomb – The Naruni has a ‘number 2’ on the track that is actually a bomb. Enemies that run into it when the number 2 blows up get knocked down.
• Tough – Use one of the stacks to become temporarily invincible, mitaging any attacks enemy Naruni’s try to make against you.

Also, try to avoid attacking your team. You can work out who is on your team by looking at your color and matching it to others on the race. You’re either pink or green.

Throughout the race, there will be a variety of traps designed to mess with you. Expect jokers that want to slow you, big demons that want to eat you, and lightning strikes that will electrocute you partway through the race. Getting hit by the electrocuting strikes especially will ruin your race.
