PvP is really fun when you want to have that break from slaying all the monsters out there and test your skills against other human players. So today let’s look at all the basics on how to get started and play PvP modes in Lost Ark, with their ranks & rewards explained.

How to Play PvP in Lost Ark?

To unlock and play PvP match modes you need to get to Level 26 in Lost Ark. This will happen during the story objective “Go to the Proving Grounds” in the “Rebuilding Luterra” quest. There you will meet Arena Manager Lorence, who will give you an introduction to PvP modes.

After this, you can always start PvP matches easily by going to any “Bulletin Boards” found throughout the world map. You can also start this anytime by clicking on the Proving Grounds arena icon under your mini-map.

Lost Ark PvP Modes

Here are the 4 different PvP Modes within Lost Ark Proving Grounds:

  • Normal Match
  • Competitive Matches

There are further options within each mode for you to explore, as follows:
