How Long is the Main Quest in Lost Ark

The MMOs like Lost Ark offer their players a new world and sometimes a different kind of gameplay to enjoy. There are lots of quests and content to keep the players busy in the world of Lost Ark. 

Some players do not enjoy main quests or storylines that much and want to jump straight to end-game content. And why should not they be? The main quests in MMOs like Lost Ark do not challenge their players. It’s the end-game content that is hard and challenging to keep trying.

But some players want to explore the whole story of the game and delve into the world of Lost Ark. Many players have a question about how long you have to invest yourself in the main quest who is just starting the game.

Time to Finish All Main Quest in Lost Ark

To be honest, no one can answer specifically how much time you will need to complete the main quest of Lost Ark. It depends on how you play and how much time in a day you invest in the game.

Every quest in the game has some requirements you have to complete first. It can be your level, your power, or your item level. Sometimes you cannot complete the main quest straight. You may need to do side quests or other content to level up, increase your power, or increase your item level. 

Sometimes even if you have every requirement completed, you may die several times and have to do a quest again and again. So, there are lots of hurdles in the game that can slow your game. To complete the game straight without any hiccups, you must know how to beat the game, which is impossible for new players.

But keeping these problems aside, there is a tentative number of hours you need to invest to complete the main quests of Lost Ark. According to a website, the average time to complete the main story only is 35 hours and 37 minutes. So, if you invest about 4 hours in Lost Ark a day, you will need about 9 days to complete.

But this number is just average, the highest time to complete the main quests is 42 hours and 52 minutes and the lowest is 26 hours and 36 minutes.

If you wish to complete every quest available in Lost Ark, you will need 69 hours and 17 minutes on average. So, now you can see how vast the game is. And this number is for completing the main quests without any problem. Including everything, you may have to invest hundreds of hours to complete the main quests.

Types of Quest in Lost Ark

As already mentioned, there are lots of quests in Lost Ark. But not all are related to the main storyline. But you will get a chance to explore every corner of the world in Lost Ark while doing other quests. 

The types of Quests in Lost Ark are:

1. Main Quests: As soon as the prologue ends, we will get the main quest. The main quest gets you through the main storyline of Lost Ark. It starts from Rethramis and ends in East Luterra. Main Quests have a fox-like icon in orange color. 
   
2. World Quests: After you complete the main quests and complete the main storyline, Main Quests are replaced by World Quests. These are very important to complete as you will have to go through many islands and continents to complete these and will get you to Level 50. World Quests have a globe icon in blue color. 
   
3. Normal/Side Quests: Apart from the main storyline, along the way, you will find many side quests. These quests do not contribute to the main storyline but are important for some experience points and some items and accessories. Normal Quests have the same icon as Main Quest but the color is yellow in them.
   
4. Chain Quests: These are also Normal Quests. But there are several quests interrelated to each other in a single main objective quest. It has a chain-like icon in yellow color.
   
5. Dungeon Quests: You will get this quest as soon as you enter a dungeon in Lost Ark. You will not find these quests outside dungeons.
   
6. Rapport Quests: These quests are a kind of special quests that you will get from some NPCs in the game. After completing the quests, your relationship with them gets better and you can get rewards from them. This is one of the best ways to farm gold in Lost Ark.
   
7. Sudden Quests: You will get these quests automatically when you enter an area with NPCs that give you these quests. These quests have a timer and if you leave the area without completing the quest or the time finishes, the quest will fail. These are very important to quickly get to Level 50 as these do not take that much time and give you tons of experience. 
   
8. Adventure Quests: Adventure Quests are the quests that will unlock Pets and Trade Skills like Fishing.
   
9. Una’s Tasks: These are daily and weekly tasks that players can do for currency farming and rewards. Daily quests are updated daily and can be done once a day and weekly tasks once a week.
   
10. Event Tasks: Event Tasks also have daily and weekly tasks but these are for limited times only. These can get your very special rewards upon completion.
