How To Use Knowledge Transfer In Lost Ark

Lost Ark Trixion

The Knowledge Transfer machine is accessed at your Stronghold. The only requirements are:

  • A level 5 Stronghold (easy, this is what you actually start with)
  • Complete all the quests in North Vern (Awakening, Power Pass, etc)
  • Return to your Stronghold and collect the Nothing Is Impossible For Cykins quest from Adeline
  • Talk to the Robot on your island, located on the west side of your island, next to the Lab
  • You need 600 gold to bring your alt up to level with a North Vern character, or 2400 gold if you've completed Punika

It's that simple.

There are, however, some restrictions. Knowledge Transfer is only available per class leveled to the Item Level requirements.

For example, your main will be able to boost alts to level 50 immediately, but if you want your alts to skip content through Rohendel, Yorn, or Feiton, you must level that alt to the required item level. This is not a boost for Item Level, but rather the completed story quests for each area, allowing you to immediately enter Abyssal Dungeons and Chaos Dungeons on your alt characters.

So, to actually boost your alt to level 50, you need to bring that class specifically to your Stronghold. That means you need to jump onto an alt, complete quests to reach the sheet music at the start of the game, and take your alt character to the Knowledge Transfer area on your Stronghold island.

  • Pay 600 gold
  • The process takes eight hours to complete
  • Log back into your character after eight hours, open the Knowledge Transfer screen, and you'll have a character leveled to 50
  • All the main storylines are completed for Vern and Shushire, but every single side quest is still available if you want to grind for extra Engravings and other rewards
  • This only levels your character to level 50, you will need to independently achieve the required Item Level to complete further story quests - i.e Rohendel and beyond.

What Is Knowledge Transfer?

The Knowledge Transfer system helps you boost an alternate character to level 50, and clears story quests through the various continents in Arkesia.

Important: Knowledge Transfer availability depends on the progression of your main character.

Upon completing the 1st tier of Knowledge Transfer (North Vern), your boosted character receives a chest with 302 item level gear.
