What is Rapport in Lost Ark?
Rapport <ALT+N> is a reputation system to gain the affection of specific NPCs in Lost Ark. Rewards are given to players who reach Each NPC that you can gain Rapport with provides rewards at each Rapport Level. The main reasons to progress Rapport with an NPC is for Gold and Skill Point Potions. Rapport experience gained and tasks completed are shared across all characters on your Roster on a server.
Completing repeatable daily tasks for a Rapport NPC increases a players Rapport with that NPC. There are 5 ways to increase the Rapport Level with an NPC:
- Completing Rapport Quests
- Conversing in Dialogue
- Showing an Emotion
- Playing a Song on your Instrument, and
- Giving them Gifts
Many NPCs require completing a prerequisite quest before Rapport can be gained with them. Some NPCs also require obtaining a specific threshold of a particular Virtue Stat as well (Wisdom, Courage, Charisma, Kindness). Also progressing up a Rapport Level with an NPC may have a Virtue Stat requirement as well. Many Rapport Rewards are in fact Virtue Stat Potions, so if you don’t meet the prerequisite stat, look for an NPC that rewards the one you are looking for.
How to increase Rapport
There are three Daily Rapport Tasks are:
- Give Gift (Limit of 99 Rapport Gifts to given daily)
- Play Instrument (Limit of 5 Rapport Song Actions daily [+1 with Crystalline Aura])
- Show Emotes (Limit of 5 Rapport Emote Actions daily [+1 with Crystalline Aura])
Rapport Gifts
Do not give Rapport Gifts randomly.
Please forgive the enormous text above. It is the most important thing to know about Rapport Items. The amount of time and resources required to complete Rapport Levels is staggering. It may be one of, if not THE most daunting tasks to complete. Save all of your Rapport Gifts until you know which NPCs you want to focus on. To complete the Adventure Tome in a region you will need to get 100% Rapport with every single NPC in that region.
Rapport Gifts are the largest source of gaining Rapport with an NPC. You can give any gift to any Rapport NPC to increase their Rapport Level. However, each NPC has a few preferred gifts that give more Rapport per gift given. Preferred gifts are identified in the tooltip of the Rapport Item itself.
These gifts can give a range of Rapport from 324 to 450 Rapport per gift given. There is a list in the Details section in the Rapport Menu <ALT+N> and when you are interacting with them in the Give Gift menu.
