Lost Ark – Logging Guide

Logging is one of several crafting professions in Lost Ark . With this profession we collect wood, which is required for upgrading our fortress, as well as for the production of the ship Astray and for several ship materials. Wood initially has a high value, which continues to decrease over time.

Professions are linked to the account. All progress, such as leveling up, is therefore automatically transferred to all characters on the account. This also applies to the consumption and generation of work energy.

Manufacturing

After collecting enough raw materials, each profession allows us to craft different items. We do this in our fortress, which we get to with the Song of Home and Hearth. After we have arrived on the island we go to the workshop via the menu item “Administration”. We unlock more recipes by upgrading the workshop.

lumberjack tool

We need the right tools to practice our professions. These are available in different quality levels. The better the quality level, the better the bonuses. However, they are granted randomly, so we cannot give any details.

• Novice’s Lumberjack’s Tool
• Apprentice’s Lumberjack’s Tool
• Adept’s Lumberjack’s Tool
• Expert’s Lumberjack Tool
• Master’s Lumberjack’s Tool

Our first lumberjack tool is available for purchase from vendors marked with a pickaxe. The first craft trader is in Lake bar in the West Luterra area. However, tools have different quality levels, and the higher quality the required raw materials are, the better tools are required. We can craft tools with higher quality levels ourselves in our stronghold. For this, we need the following raw materials.

• Crafting Recipes: Jennifer in our Stronghold sells us the necessary recipes.
• Kits: We get the kits from excavations.
• Crafting Material: We collect raw materials ourselves through the professions.

Repair tools

Using the tools will lose their durability. However, we can repair them again. Some dealers offer this service for gold. However, it is cheaper if we repair them ourselves in our fortress. We get the corresponding recipe from Jennifer in our fortress.

Working Energy & Platinum Fields

All professions in Lost Ark have a common working energy with a limit of 10,000. At an account level of 70, we get an additional 500 work energy. As soon as we mine, collect or fish something, our work energy decreases. If it is completely used up, we can no longer practice any professions. How much work energy we need depends on the individual professional skills. As a rule, skills with which we get more raw materials also require more work energy. This information is included with all skills. Every day we automatically regenerate about 4,000 working energy. We don’t have to be online for this. The energy bar is therefore full again after a maximum of 3 days.

As already mentioned in this guide, work energy is tied to the account and is therefore identical for all characters.

Platinum Fields in Lost Ark

However, it is possible to carry out jobs without losing energy. We do this on so-called platinum fields in the capital cities. However, we can only enter Platinfeld with an access ticket: Plainfield. We receive access tickets as random loot when performing the crafting professions. Platinum fields are time-limited to 15 minutes. So if you step into a platinum field, you should hurry there too.

Lumberjack skills and levels

As we carry out our professions, we collect experience points and rise to a level with the corresponding number of XP points. As with our character, we unlock new skills. With these skills, we increase bonuses such as a higher chance of success, the chance of rare materials, and increased gathering speed.
