Lost Ark: How to add friends

Making friends that you can rely on during your adventures across a new globe is an undervalued aspect of leveling in any MMO, and it's especially true in Lost Ark. You'll want to get comfortable with the friend list whether you're seeking for the next raid monster or just want to stomp around some World Bosses in Lost Ark.

Users can either use the default key 'U' or navigate to the bottom right icon, labeled 'Community,' to access the friend list in Lost Ark. When you click this, a list will appear, with 'Friends' as the first item. The 'Friends' window will appear regardless of how you get to it.

People can accept friend requests that have been sent to them, issue requests to players they've just met, or manually enter a name in the 'Friends' tab of the interface to find specific players. However, don't get too excited: The number of buddy invitations you can send in Lost Ark is limited, with a two-second cooldown in between.

Players will receive a little warning informing them that they have a new friend request: it's easy to miss, so don't be surprised if you have a few pending requests when you finally access the menu.
