Seasoned veteran players of Lost Ark know that a key component of the game is having multiple Level 50 Characters. However, there is a fair bit of time involved. On average, players can expect to spend 12-15 hours levelling their characters to 50. Some speed levelers can get that down to under 10 hours. Having additional Level 50 characters (Alternative Characters - Alts) benefit from account wide bonuses that will further speed up the levelling process.
Players can use real world money to purchase the in-game currency, Royal Crystals, which can then buy a level boost. But there also exists a system in the game that allows players to purchase a level 50 character with Gold. This is known as Knowledge Transfer.

How To Level Boost in Lost Ark
With the Knowledge Transfer system players can spend Gold to get a new character to Level 50 and provide them with level appropriate equipment. There are multiple types of Knowledge Transfers available. Each boost costs more depending on what stage of progression they choose.
These are the details for the first character that players would like to boost:
| iLvl | Zone | Requirements | Gold | Time |
| 302 | Vern | One character must have completed the main story line to 50 - [Quest] Ealyn's Gift. | 600 | 8 Hours |
| 460 | Rohendel | One character must reach iLvl 460 | 1000 | 8 Hours |
| 600 | Yorn | One character must reach iLvl 600 | 1400 | 8 Hours |
| 960 | Feiton | One character must reach iLvl 960 | 1600 | 8 Hours |
| 1100 | Punika | One character must reach iLvl 1100 | 2400 | 8 Hours |

A player who has completed the North Vern [World Quest] Ealyn’s Gift can boost up to 9 characters to Level 50 and obtain equipment suitable to North Vern (iLvl 302). This is the best choice in terms of value for your time and Gold. If a player has reached iLvl 460 they can boost 1 existing iLvl 302 character to Rohendel (iLvl 460). If a player wants to boost subsequent characters to Rohendel and beyond, they must have more existing characters reach that requirement as follows:
- 1 Existing Character = 1 Boost
- 3 Existing Characters = 2 Boosts
- 5 = 3 Boosts
- 7 = 4 Boosts
- 9 = 5 Boosts
- 11 = 6 Boosts
- 13 = 7 Boosts
- 15 = 8 Boosts
- 17 = 9 Boosts
- 19 = 10 Boosts
- 21 = 11 Boosts
- 23 = 12 Boosts
How To Unlock Knowledge Transfer
To unlock the Knowledge Transfer, players must complete the following conditions on one character:
- Have one Character at Level 50.
- Complete the North Vern [World Quest] Ealyn’s Gift.
- Have a minimum item level of 302.
- Obtained from Chaos Dungeons or Shushire Questline

How to Level Boost a Character in Lost Ark
Players must complete the following steps in order to complete the Knowledge Transfer on a newly created character:
- Select the new character’s subclass in Trixion.
- Advance the [Main Quest] Legends and Fairytales to where you can access your Sheet Music
- With the new character go to the Stronghold, talk to the NPC: Knowledge Transfer Machine, and select [Knowledge Transfer]

Once the player has selected the character they wish to boost with Knowledge Transfer they must wait 8 hours before the process will be complete. During this process a player is free to continue playing on that selected character or on a different character.
Once the 8 hours have passed, the player must go back to the NPC: Knowledge Transfer Machine, with their selected character and select [Knowledge Transfer complete]. They will then be sent to a zone in which they must interact with a must book.
