Try your own numbers in the Lost Ark drop rate calculator.
Amazon Games publishes the odds for every Lost Ark store product that contains random items. The official FAQ links to the page, and the same link is reachable from the in-game store. The page notes that each figure is rounded to two decimal places, so a table can add up to slightly more or less than 100%.
What the rates mean in practice
Card packs come in layers. A Legendary – Epic Card Pack turns into a Legendary Card Pack 20% of the time and an Epic Card Pack otherwise, so you would open 1 ÷ 0.20 = 5 on average to get a Legendary pack. A Legendary – Rare Card Pack gives a Legendary pack only 4% of the time, which takes 25 on average. The Legendary pack then picks one card, and on the official page each of its 19 cards has the same 5.26% chance, so a specific Legendary card takes 19 Legendary packs on average.
The T3 Gem Chest (Lv. 1-3) gives a Level 1 gem 73% of the time. Each Level 3 gem has a 3.5% chance, so a particular one takes 1 ÷ 0.035, about 29 chests on average, or about 14 if either Level 3 gem will do. No guarantee is disclosed for any of these.
How it plays
Lost Ark is a free-to-play online role-playing game that pairs action-RPG combat with the scale of an MMO. You choose a class and then an advanced class, and customise your skills, weapons and gear. Each ability can be shaped further with the Tripod system, which unlocks three tiers of options for how that skill works.
The world of Arkesia spans seven continents and the seas between them, which you cross to reach distant islands. Along the way you quest, fight packs of enemies and colossal bosses in the open world, clear chaos dungeons, raid against bosses, and duel other players in PvP, all in the fight against the Demon Legion for the power of the Lost Ark.
You can play solo, in a group with friends or matched with other players. Outside combat there are non-combat skills, crafting, guilds and social features, which Amazon Games says you can explore as lightly or deeply as you like.
What it costs
Royal Crystals, the paid currency, are bought in-game and aren't sold as a Steam add-on. We haven't found an official UK price list we can cite, so this page has no prices yet.
How we checked
Odds come from the page Amazon Games links to from its FAQ, read on 29 September 2026. The page is undated. The player figure is the 30-day peak of concurrent Steam players on Steam Charts. Lost Ark in the West is PC only. The gameplay description is based on the publisher's Steam store page.
