Lost Ark March patch notes - Bug fixes and new log-in bonuses

The MMO ARPG from Smilegate and Amazon Games, Lost Ark has seen tremendous success with its launch in the West. Recently, the game hit a mammoth 20 million player milestone. While the game has had some issues, such as heavy server traffic, due to its success, the developers have been quick to launch new servers and provide hotfix updates. Now, on 10th March 2022, the first "major" update for Lost Ark has arrived.

This update features a tonne of content, such as the Arkesia Grand Prix event, Abyss Raid Argos, the Kadan Story Episode including Isteri and Illusion Bamboo Islands, new skins and much more. In this article, however, we focus on the new log-in rewards for players to acquire, and the wealth of important bug fixes released with the Lost Ark March update, entitled "Hunt for the Guardian Slayer".

Lost Ark March new log-in rewards

The Lost Ark March update has added a new track for players to receive daily log-in rewards. Yes, you can simply login on a daily basis to receive these rewards.

Rewards include honing materials, card packs, rapport selection chests and much more. This track has 25 daily bonuses and will be available until the Lost Ark April update.

At the time of writing, additional details on these modified rewards are not available.
