Earlier, we covered a detailed guide to all ships in Lost Ark. Today, let's take a look at some other detailed guides on ship and navigation in Lost Ark. In this guide, you will find everything related to the Ships, the navigation, and the Islands in Lost Ark. Having many topics below in Red, you will have direct access to each content.
Guide Index:
The information about the Ship and its current status can be consulted in the following interface:
In sailing, you sail the sea, controlling a ship, not a character.
You can move the Ship by clicking. Use the key Тto make the Ship move automatically.
As the ship moves, the "Maximum Speed" scale accumulates. Once it's full, use it as a bascule (7) Tecla definida to move the boat faster over some time.
The Ship's "durability" runs out when it travels a certain distance, the decrease in durability increases when the Ship is in dangerous waters.
When the durability reaches 0, the Ship will be shipwrecked. It is impossible to go to the island or use any skill in this state.
If the durability is below a certain level, the Ship's movement speed increases due to the coordinated work of the sailors. To make your navigation more fluid, we recommend that you control the strength of your boat.
The sea is large enough compared to any continent in the game, and it can take a long time to move to a certain point.
For more efficient navigation, use automatic routing:
If you dock with the (Z) key in a port on any continent, you will be able to enter the port.
While in port, you can check various items needed to navigate, such as changing the ship/crew, changing the look, upgrading, and repairing the Ship.
※ You can only change appearance, change crew on board, and restore durability when you are anchored near a port or Anchorage
Clicking "Go to Land" will take you to the continent that owns the port. If you click on "Go to the sea," you will go to the sea.
The Ocean of Arkesia is divided into the "Ocean of Gineah" in the east and the "Ocean of Procyon" in the west.
The journey begins in the ocean of Gineah. To enter the Ocean of Procyon, overcoming the Veil of Proceus or mist is necessary.
He visits the sailor Leonard, who is in the port of all the continents located in the Ocean of Gineah. After completing the Mission "New Sea," you will be able to break the Veil.
※ The New Sea quest can be completed once, and all characters can cross the Veil.
There are currently eight types of ships in Arkeria.
Each Ship has different characteristics and resistance to dangerous waters, so before setting sail, it is necessary to check the capabilities of the selected Ship.
Eurus
Specialized in Seiren waters and underwater exploration
The most basic ship
Estoque
It is a ship with the unique appearance of Anitz.
Barksum
An essential icebreaker for your first visit to Sushire
Sturmbrecher
It is a small and fast boat.
Brahms
This business line reflects Bern's exceptional aesthetic.
Tragon
A mechanical ship whose weapons are sealed in a forbidden naval battle after the Wars of the Chains.
Astray
The fastest Ship.
Eibern's Wounds
You can check the Ship's characteristics through the navigation window by clicking on the key Zwhile navigating.
The characteristics of the Ship will gradually increase as the Ship improves.
All ships have the same abilities:
![]() |
Lift sunken load | It is used to raise treasures during quests. |
![]() |
Harpoon release | It is used to attack sea monsters during missions. |
![]() |
To fish | It is used to lift certain items or remove them during missions. |
![]() |
Awesome harpoon | Shoot harpoons at sea monsters, damaging and stunning them. |
Ships can be upgraded for more comfortable sailing.
Collect various materials from all over the sea to upgrade your Ship!
When upgraded, the level of the ship increases, and the characteristics of the Ship and its resistance to dangerous waters improve.
Also, as the level increases, the number of sailors recruited increases.
Some ships will become more beautiful with improvements, for example, by adding sails, flags, or other decorative elements.
Galleon, Jonka, Bark, and Battleship can change sails. (Icebreaker, Caravel, Clipper, and Ghost Ship ships cannot change sail pattern)
A ship with a modified sail.
To use a unique candle, you need to buy it from an NPC or get it from other activities.
After obtaining and using the sail, its drawing will appear in the "Sail Color" menu and be applied to the Ship.
The sail design can only be changed in port.
The appearance of the Ship can be changed using the selected ship model.
Some ship models have their abilities or resistance to dangerous waters.
Ship model hit points are given for each type of dangerous water.
You can independently distribute the Ship's hardiness points by choosing the required types of dangerous waters.
There are limits on the maximum number of resistance points for each type of dangerous water. You can only save if you use all the points available for the type of Ship.
Once the Ship is moored from the port, you can command your Ship. Sailors are generally adept at weathering dangerous waters and increasing a ship's normal speed. Some sailors have special abilities.
To check the sailors or select a sailor in the Ship's crew, it is necessary to press (Z key) in the port. By clicking "Crew" in the bottom panel, you can see all the sailors you currently have and select a team if there is free space on the selected Ship.
Sailors attached only to a specific ship are called "loyal" sailors. Loyal sailors have a higher skill level than regular sailors.
Ordinary sailors can board any ship. Sailors can be hired for various currencies, such as traveling merchant ships.
There are six hazardous water zones in the oceans of Arkesia. They are divided into levels from 1 to 4. The higher the level of hazardous waters, the more resistance the Ship requires.
![]() |
kelp forests | This is an area with a lot of algae. The longer you stay in this area, the ship's speed will decrease drastically. |
![]() |
muddy waters | In muddy waters, the boat's durability steadily decreases. When a powerful sandstorm hits, durability can drop dramatically and field of view is temporarily reduced. |
![]() |
sea of mermaids | In the seas where mermaids live, the durability of the ship constantly decreases. Sometimes the temptation of the sirens affects sailors so much that they cannot navigate the ship, causing serious damage. |
![]() |
frozen seas | This is an area of the sea with severe frost. When moving, the force consumption increases. Due to frost, the ship can freeze - the speed of movement decreases, and the strength of the ship drops sharply. |
![]() |
storm waters | This is an area of the sea where violent storms break out. The force and speed of movement of the ship decreases. Due to heavy rain and wind, resistance to dangerous waters is reduced and ship skills may not be available. |
![]() |
dead strait | These are mysterious and dangerous waters filled with the dead. The ship's durability and speed have been significantly reduced. If she has no resistance to the Dead Sea, she will not be able to enter the islands located there. When the energy of the dead accumulates, the ship's durability decreases drastically, the field of vision decreases for a while, and the ship's abilities are also blocked. |
By pressing the world map ( key М) while you are in the sea, you will be able to see all the dangerous waters.
By hovering over the dangerous water icon, you can check its level and the Ship's stability. The stability of the Ship is established through the sum of the ship model, the crew, plus the Ship itself.
To participate in activities or visit islands located in dangerous waters, be sure to check the recommended level. Don't forget to select the right sailors to visit the dangerous waters.
※ By using some ship models, you can get extra stamina points.
Marine activity
Sailing is sailing the sea with the right crew on board a wonderful ship and numerous adventures. There is a variety of content that will make your browsing even more enjoyable.
Islands
There are many islands in the oceans of Arkesia. Each island has its own story and unique island tiles. Right now. If there are two crossed swords on the island icon, this means that this island is a PvP island. In it, you can fight against other players.
The islands of LOST ARK are divided into "Regular Islands," "Temporary Islands," and "Adventure Islands."
Island type | Explanation |
---|---|
Regular island |
|
Temporary islands |
|
Adventure island |

Additionally, hovering over each island's icon on the world map will verify the island entry information and recommended gear level. It is recommended to verify this information before entering the island.
"Island Tokens" is a unique collectible reward that can be obtained on the island, and depending on the number of souls collected, you can receive various rewards from the NPC.
You can find more information about the Souls of the Islands here. You have all the guides.
Unlike regular and temporary islands, they are special islands that appear according to the Proceus Compass timetable.
Islands of Adventure appear simultaneously at 9:00 p.m. (to be confirmed EU NA server) from Monday to Friday and at 2:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. (to be confirmed EU NA server) on weekends.
On the island, you can get the Island Token and buy some goods and materials. Check the calendar [Alt + H] or use the Proceus Compass icon below the minimap. Don't miss out on the various rewards.
※ You can check the weather of Islands of Adventure in the notification settings. With this setting, you can set notifications for the islands you need.
Various events are often held at sea. Participate in the events, form a team with other players, or compete to achieve the goal. Group/competitive events are completed during a certain time so that you can participate in several events in a row. Once finished, you will receive the corresponding reward.
To participate in events and achieve the best results, it is recommended to have a good boat and an excellent crew. [Tip] Before starting the event, check the conditions for participating in it by hovering over the event icon on the world map [M]. Some events take place in dangerous waters, so if you don't have the right stamina, you won't participate. Also, some group events take place in a separate area, to which you will be transported through the portal.
In some dead seas, ghost ships appear filled with hideous undead. Each ghost ship has a corresponding difficulty level. There are tier 1 and 2 ghost ships, and you can find them on a fixed schedule.
Level | Recommended Equipment Level | Location | Name |
---|---|---|---|
1st level | 415 | Dead Sea near the Rohendel continent | A ghost ship wandering in nightmares. |
2nd level | 915 | Dead Sea near the Feiton mainland | A ghost ship wandering in the shadows |
Only 15 players can enter the Ghost Ship. When the event is completed, players receive various rewards based on their contributions.
You will occasionally receive a sea treasure map when you travel by sea.
An adventure story, shipwreck, or sunken treasure can be found at the locations indicated on the Sea Treasure Map.
※ The treasure map can only be used by the character who received it.

While browsing, you can get Lost Ark gold to participate in various events and complete quests. For the gold received on ships, you can buy items to improve the Ship, materials for sharpening, or recruit new sailors for the team.
For example, Pirate Coins is the main currency used all over the world, for it you can buy items not only on wandering ships but also on some islands.
When traveling by sea, you may not notice how the Ship's durability has dropped to a critical level. If there is a port nearby, you can quickly go to it and repair it, but it can be difficult if it is far from the port. You can repair your Ship at Anchorage. Visit the nearest one to restore the Ship's strength. To use Anchorage, you must first reach it and open it.
To open, you will need Pirate Coins. After opening it for 20 minutes, you can use it as a personal port.
Unlike normal ports, Aboriginal villages cannot be landed and cannot be opened during a shipwreck.
Information about open villages is inherited. You can open towns that other seekers have discovered.
Merchant ships dock at the port or on an island. You can use them to purchase various items obtained while browsing.
