What can you do in Lost Ark? Modes and activities
- Kazeros raids: These eight-player endgame raids, now with Extreme versions, are the top PvE challenge and suit organized groups. Raid entry depends on item level, explained in Lost Ark Item Level Explained.
- Shadow raids: Shadow raids such as Belgardin offer Normal, Hard and Nightmare difficulties, which suits players stepping up into harder endgame fights.
- Guardian raids: Guardian raids are short fights against a single large boss, and they suit players building up their gear between bigger raids.
- Chaos and Kurzan Front dungeons: Repeatable dungeons give daily honing materials, which suits players who want steady progression in short sessions.
- Paradise: Paradise is a seasonal mode with its own leaderboard, and it suits players who like a fresh progression track.
- Proving Grounds: The Proving Grounds are team PvP arenas with ranked seasons, which suit competitive players.
- Alts and roster: Most players level several characters, and your roster level grows across all of them. See Lost Ark Roster Level Explained.
- Islands and collectibles: Sailing to islands and finding collectibles gives permanent account bonuses, which suits explorers and completionists.
- Stronghold: Your stronghold is a personal base for research, crafting and sending out crews, and it suits players who like a bit of base building.
How do you use the Lost Ark lookup?
- Type the character name: exactly as it shows in game, up to 12 letters or numbers. Most Korean-server names use Hangul.
- Press Get profile: RankSurge asks the Lost Ark Open API for the character's public armory.
- Read the two tabs: Overview shows item level, levels, class, server, guild, stronghold and PvP grade; Combat stats lists the character's stats as the game reports them.
Each result is kept for 10 minutes, so a change made in game a moment ago may still show the earlier numbers.

What are the limits of this data?
- Region: only characters on the Korean servers can be found.
- Language: class, server, guild and stat names are shown in Korean, as the game reports them.

Frequently asked questions
How do I look up a Lost Ark character?
Type the character's name exactly as it appears in game and press Get profile. RankSurge asks the official Lost Ark Open API by Smilegate for that character's public armory and shows item level, character and roster level, class, server, guild, title, stronghold, PvP grade and combat stats. There is no sign-up, and you never share a password or log in to Stove.
Does this work for the NA and EU Lost Ark servers?
No. The Lost Ark Open API from Smilegate covers the Korean version of the game, so the lookup finds characters on the Korean servers only. The North American and European servers do not offer a public player API, so RankSurge cannot look up characters there. If a name from those regions returns nothing, that is the reason.
Why can't RankSurge find my character?
Check that the name is spelled exactly as in game, including Korean characters, and that the character plays on a Korean server. Names are 1 to 12 letters or numbers with no spaces. A character that was renamed or deleted recently may not appear straight away, and results are kept for 10 minutes, so a brand new change can take a short while to show.
What is the difference between item level and highest item level?
Item level is the average level of the gear the character has equipped right now, and it decides which raids and content the character can enter. Highest item level is the best average the character has reached. The two differ when a character swaps to lower gear, for example to try a different build.
Is RankSurge affiliated with Smilegate?
No. RankSurge is an independent stats and guides site. It reads public character data from the Lost Ark Open API, does not sell gold, accounts or boosting, and is not endorsed by or affiliated with Smilegate. Lost Ark is a trademark of Smilegate RPG, and all game names and data belong to their owners.
