Lost Ark had its Western release in February 2022 and two subclasses have already joined the roster. Still, the game originally launched in 2019 in South Korea and the Western version has some content to catch up on.
The Arcanist is the next subclass set to join Lost Ark following the Glaivier and Destroyer. The class is described to “imbue special cards with her Magick and uses them to for a variety of effects.” It will require some skills to be mastered, but players have been eager to test it out since the game was released in the West.

Since the Arcanist was mentioned in the June and July roadmap, fans now know how long they’ll have to wait until they can test out the Mage subclass.
Arcanist release date in Lost Ark
The Arcanist is joining the roster on July 20. It is being introduced to the live servers alongside July’s major update, Spells in Spades.
To help players who are creating a new alternate character enjoy playing the Arcanist, the developer has also given a free Punika Powerpass to all players, which can be unlocked by completing the “Berver’s Friend” Punika quest after they became a citizen of the continent.
A Hyper Express Event is also launching, offering tons of honing material and other rewards for easy quests to complete.
