Lost Ark: How to unlock Trade Skills

Even the most dedicated adventurer will be kept busy by the content available in the freshly transferred Lost Ark. Players have their hands full with content and mechanics, whether they're spelunking with secret maps in Lost Ark, trying to slay World Bosses like Rudric, or simply chasing the main quest to the ends of Arkesia.

However, not everything in Raiders of the Lost Ark is about killing the world's horrific monsters. By completing the main mission, players can earn Trade Skills, which can be utilized to help make items that can then be used to slaughter everything in the environment.

Unlocking Trade Skills takes place at Lakebar Village, although players should be aware that they cannot do so by sprinting there; the main objective must be finished up to Lakebar Village, shortly after speaking with all of the locals. Trade Skills will be unlocked whenever players speak with Artisan Urr, the town's blacksmith, although players will still need to acquire each Trade Skill tool.

At this stage, it's best to just buy all of the beginning tools and equip them all at once, allowing users to simply harvest and forage while questing across Arkesia. This will help them level up their skills while pursuing any subject they like. The total cost of purchasing all trade tools is 9,000 silver.

Players can then hit the default key 'B' to switch from a combat hot bar to a trade skill hot bar, where they can engage in fishing, mining, foraging, and other activities.
