Lost Ark is getting ready for some harsh competition, and probably more than a few epic fails, when it comes to taking on Thaemine Legion Raid. Amazon has released details on the Thaemine the First challenge, for those competitive glory seekers who think they’re ready.
If you feel like you've got what it takes, the challenge will begin on April 20th at 10:00 a.m. PT for those who have cleared Hard mode on the Thaemine Legion Raid. If you manage the challenge, you'll get your spot on the leaderboard for the fastest groups who can clear the entire raid. There will be top 10 leaderboards from each region, (Europe, North America East, North America West, and South America). The leaderboards will come out with the April update and they will be available for everyone to view throughout the entire race and beyond. If you manage to make the leaderboard in your region, and you've been verified to have followed all of the rules, then glory, titles, and rewards will be bestowed upon your team.
The very top finishing team gets the very on the nose title, Thaemine the 1st. Similar for second and third place. The rest of the top 10 will get Thaemine the Top 10 title. Those on the leaderboard will also get special Stronghold structures, with rank 1 getting a unique structure different structures for second and third and then 4th through 10. Players' names will be etched into it next to clear time, so if anyone interacts with the stronghold, they'll see proof of your bragging rights. Top 10 finishers will also get trophies.
What if you're not in the Top 10? Everyone, including all the top 10 finishers who finish the raid on the special difficulty get a Clear: Thaemine The First chest, an Abyss Grugach mount, the “Eclipse” title, 50,000 gold and 5 million silver.
Even if you don't get that permanent glory and your name on a trophy, it's still a pretty nice haul if you've got the chops.
