Lost Ark weekly update (April 7, 2022) official Patch notes

As mentioned earlier, Lost Ark’s April 7, 2022, patch notes will be a rather small one as Smilegate will look to focus more on fixing some of the prevalent issues in the MMO instead of introducing more gameplay changes or even a new class that the developers have on their roadmap for 2022.

Here are the official patch notes for the April 7, 2022, update:

Fixed an issue that prevented players from loading into Ancient Elveria during Ealyn’s “Time to Heal” rapport quest
Fixed an issue where all Metallurgy and Tailoring books were marked as Tier 3 when exchanging with Winter Illusion vendor Mio
Fixed an issue where unintended characters could be used in chat

While the Lost Ark official Twitter account did mention that the servers will only be down for four hours, it can, at times, take longer. A lot of things can go wrong when a new update is being patched in, and oftentimes it’s better to add a few more hours to the expected return time.

At the time of writing this article, the servers are yet to be bought online.
