In this guide, we are going to be talking about Artist skins. Many players have been excited to make an artist for the longest time, but unfortunately, we do not have enough skins in the west. So today, I will share my ways of getting them!
Buy Skins from Lost Ark Shop
You can go to the store, and there are some skins available. And you can get them with blue crystals, meaning you must spend Lost Ark gold. If you don't want to buy them with real money, another bundle comes with yellow skin, or you can even get the white version.
Another thing is that even though it says you need 3200 crystals, you can also get the skin with 1000 blue crystals. The following is how you exchange currency.
Free Ways to Get Skins
Exchange Rapport
Many players may not know this, but there’s an NPC called Exchange Rapport. For example, in Nia Village, you need to first teleport to Nia Village and you can find the NPC at the the top left corner.
You can go to the exchange rapport and click it, and here in the skins tab, there are basicly two skins, and the cool thing is that each of them is not a one piece. You can buy them separately. Here's the first version.
So if you want the headpiece, you can buy them with 35,000 providence stones. If you want to get the top, you can also buy it separately.
There's also a white version, but I don't have full skin, so I can’t show it to you. Here's what the top looks like for players who want to go for a lighter theme.
But I went with the dark outfit because there is a big difference. First of all, the headpiece is very clean and looks amazing, like a legendary skin. Secondly, black with a little dark blue and purple is very cool. Most importantly, this one comes with a tail. So if you want your Artist to have a little tail, this is your right option. But this skin comes with a bow flap thingy, and some players might don't like it.
You might wonder how I get these stones. For some returning players or new players who might not have enough of those stones, you can get them by doing the story or any quests. Once you complete the tasks and the missions, you can get the Provident Stones. There is a fast way to find all quests that reward you with Provident Stones. Click “Alt + J’ and go to the reward item location or section at the search bar, type in Providence Stone, and then search it up.
If you have some old characters that you don't play much or they’re not ever Lopang, you might want to start farming these because you can get a good decent amount, like 800 or 700 Providence Stones. You will make a couple of thousands every day, but if you want to push, you can do these dailies.
Cookie Exchange
There is another way to get free skins. There is a farming system in our stronghold for pets. It gives you a lot of cookies and stuff that you can use at the Cookie Exchange Merchant. You can go to the NPC and click it. It will show three sections: Pet Inventory, skin, and other. Then choose the skin section. The first skin that you might want to cop is the Hoodie.
Many new players might not know how the pet system works, so here I will give you a quick rundown. First, you need to hit bottom left maintenance button. You can access anywhere in your stronghold. And then, go to the Pet Ranch, and hit the cookie workshop, where you need to put your fully rested pets to grind some cookies. Once your pets finish working, you need to go to the Pet Ranch and put them over there so they can regenerate their energy.
