The Engraving system is key to boosting your character’s lethality in Lost Ark, so here’s a rundown of how to use them and every Engraving available right now.

When it comes to Lost Ark‘s magical world of Arkesia, there’s a lot you’ll need to learn in order to etch yourself into the history books and have the bards recount soaring tales of your exploits.

From the Pirate Coin system to the mysterious Mokoko Seeds, there’s a lot to get your head around – and that’s before we even talk about Engravings.

Here’s everything you need to know about Engravings in Lost Ark, as they’ll become essential to your character’s growth, as well as dictate how your journey plays out.

Lost Ark’s colorful cast of characters are already powerful, but Engravings help take you to a new level.

What are Engravings in Lost Ark?

Engravings are found on accessories and Ability Stones (more on this later) and essentially apply buffs to your character – provided that they are a Normal Engraving.

These buffs can be divided into damage boosts, utility buffs, and class-specific Engravings, the latter of which can entirely change how you play your character.

How to use Engravings & Ability Stones in Lost Ark

Each Engraving has three different tiers in Lost Ark, with each level increasing the Engraving’s specific buffs. Your Engraving level depends on the rarity of your accessories, with Levels requiring 5, 10, and 15 points respectively to activate.

The points that each item grants are below, with Ability Stones contributing a huge amount of points. You can only equip one of these, and will have to facet (cut) it at an Ability Stone Cutter in order to activate the points :

  • Rare Accessory: 1 point
  • Rare Ability Stone: 0 – 6 points
  • Epic Accessory: 2 – 3 points
  • Epic Ability Stone: 0 – 8 points
  • Legendary Accessory: 2 – 3 points
  • Legendary Ability Stone: 0 – 9 points

In order to take down the creatures of the deep, you’ll need a good set of Engravings.

Best Engravings in Lost Ark

Once you hit Level 50, these are the Engravings that we recommend you take:

  • Grudge – Grants you increased damage to bosses and higher ranking foes (but also increases the damage you take from them).
  • Cursed Doll – Increases your Attack Power (but decreases Healing).
  • Specialist – Increases shields and healing.
  • Awakening – Decreases Awakening skill cooldown and allows you to use it more often.
  • Either of your class’ specific Engravings

While there seems like an overwhelming number of Engravings at first glance, most of them will provide you with positive buffs – so don’t worry!

Below we’ve listed all of the general Engravings, as well as the class-specific ones, in alphabetical order.
