Lost Ark All Engravings and Definitions (Best Engravings)

Lost Ark Engravings are passive effects that add additional bonus traits to both combat & class properties of your character. In a simple way to explain it, they are special power boosts for your character. We will try to give all the main info you need to understand in the points below.

If you are new to the game, check out our Ultimate Beginner Guide for a better start.



What Are The Engravings in Lost Ark?

Engravings offer up a number of beneficial effects (and potentially drawbacks), such as stat boosts under certain conditions or better support abilities. Each can go up to level 3, with higher levels giving bigger bonuses. All engravings are split into 15 points, with the level increasing by 1 for every 5 points in that engraving (5 for level 1, 10 for level 2, and 15 for level 3).

There are three types of engravings based on their effects that you can get:

  • regular engravings,
  • class engravings, and
  • negative engravings.

Regular engravings offer general buffs that can work on all classes, though some are more relevant to certain classes than others. Meanwhile, class engravings are unique to each advanced class and will be the cornerstone of builds at endgame. Each advanced class has 2 class engravings, with some builds requiring you to have levels in both. Finally, negative engravings give you a penalty in some way and should be avoided at all costs.


How to Get and Activate Engravings in Lost Ark?

How do I get engraving points? Lost Ark offers you three ways to learn engravings or to collect engraving points:

  • recipes
  • equipment accessories
  • Skill Stones

Each of these item groups provides you with a certain number of engraving points differently.

There are a few ways to activate engraving points and upgrade your engravings.

Recipe Books

  • To unlock a tier you need to read 20 Recipe Books
  • You have to read them in order for each trait

Accesories

Your accessories – a necklace, two earrings, and two rings – are a major source of engraving points and of regular stats. They only drop from endgame content such as dungeons, and have lots of possible formulations so it can be a real task to get your hands on accessories that suit your build optimally. The item information indicates which engravings an accessory boosts and by how much; the vast majority of accessories boost one engraving by three points and the other by three, four, or five points.

Ability Stone

Ability stones are equippable items that drop as loot. Each ability stone has three random engravings; two positive, one negative. However, ability stones don’t actually provide any engraving points until you take the stone to an ability stone cutter NPC and have it faceted. Non-faceted ability stones can be traded, so you should sell any that you don’t need and keep an eye out for ones that provide the right engravings for your character.

The faceting process determines how many engraving points you can get from each ability stone – for a full explanation, see our Lost Ark ability stone guide. If your faceting doesn’t go well, you can disenchant the stone and retrieve some materials you can use to obtain fresh ability stones.
