Lost Ark: Abilities & Skill Points Guide
In Lost Ark, there are different ways how we strengthen our character. With one of these options, we unlock skill points for abilities so that they become better. In this guide, you will learn how many skill points you need for each ability and how you unlock all skill points.
How many skill points are there in Lost Ark? There are a total of 340 skill points in the release version of Lost Ark in Europe. Of these, we get 252 just by leveling from level 1 to 50 as a reward. More skill points come with further expansions for the game.
Skill point cost in abilities
In Lost Ark, we improve our skills by increasing their level. Upgrading to each level costs a certain number of skill points. The higher the skill level, the more skill points we need. At certain skill levels, we unlock upgrades for the skills. The upgrades themselves, as well as runes, with which we further strengthen the abilities, do not cost any skill points.
At skill level 11, there are two special features. It only costs 6 skill points and has level 55 as a requirement. Skill level 12 in turn has level 60 as a requirement.

Origin of all skill point potions
We get skill points in Lost Ark in different ways. However, we get most of them automatically when leveling the character. Once we finish leveling, we go in search of skill point potions that grant us 3-6 skill points.
- Leveling from level 1-50 (soft cap)
- Leveling from level 50-55 (1st Hardcap)
- Leveling from level 55-60 (2nd Hardcap)
- As a reward for completing goals in the Tome of Adventures
- As a reward at the tower
- As a reward for turning in collectibles
- As a reward for quests
