• Hammer (Hammer): by attacking, Critical damage +8/10/12 % for 8 seconds.
  • Enhanced Effect an additional 8 % if Steel Wedge is active.

Class A

An excellent alternative to the Tier S if you haven't gotten it yet. These bracelets remain very effective in the endgame and are worth the investment in gold to theauction house.

• Cool-Headed (Composure): when your PVs are 80 % or less, your successful attacks grant Composure for 3 seconds, which increases your +3/3.5/4 damage against enemies %. If Fervor is active at the same time, Sang-froid gains an additional 1 %.

• Battle (Battle): damage from’Frontal Attack +3/3.5/4 %.
• Precise (Summary): by attacking, Critical hit rate +3/4/5 %. Cannot be combined.

Class B

Class B includes acceptable bracelets, either replace with tier S or A when you go up to item level, or be reserved for a specific gaming profile.

• Dagger (Dagger) : by attacking, Target Defense -1.8/2.1/2.5 %. Cannot be combined.
• Expose Weakness (Exposing weakness): by attacking, Resistance to the target's attacks -1.8/2.1/2.5 %. Cannot be combined.
• Enlightenment (Lighting): on a successful attack, +4/5/6 Identity Gauge gain % for 8 seconds. A niche effect, but excellent for Specialization classes that rely heavily on their class gauge.
  • On a build Crit or Speed, it's practically useless.
• Cheers (Encouragement): Applied for 5 seconds to a target that is already under the effect of a group protection effect (shield, HP regeneration, damage reduction). Encouragement increases the +0.9/1.1/1.3 damage against enemies %.
  • For use with the following media only: On a DPS, this effect is a wasted attack.
• Assail (Assault): by attacking, Critical Damage +6/8/10 %. Cannot be combined.
  • It looks solid on paper, but it competes directly with Hammer, which performs better in the same category. Keep on hand for emergencies as long as you don't have a Hammer.

Class C

These bracelets can be a lifesaver, but only use them if you really have no other choice. Their effects remain close to their lowest level.

• Superiority (Superiority): by attacking, damage +2/2.5/3 %. Cannot be combined.

Class D

Avoid these bracelets in almost all cases. Their statistics Their low power and limited effects rarely justify including them in your build.

• Harvest (Harvest): 3 % chance to gain Spirit for 60 seconds, Weapon Power +190/220/250, can be combined up to 10 times.
• Sawtooth Blade (Serrated blade) : 3/5/7 % odds Inflict +100 % critical damage (excluding Awakening).
• Weapon Power (Weapon power): weapon power +1600/1900/2200.
• Wedge (Corner): by attacking, Damage +0.35/0.45/0.5 % for 8 s, stackable 4 times (2 seconds between each stack). At 4 stacks, the effect doubles and becomes Steel Wedge, which strengthens Hammer. As such, Wedge Don't throw it away if you're playing Hammer (It's the only «Tier D» card that's actually useful in combos.).

How do I get and roll a bracelet on Lost Ark?

You can find them in:

• Chaos Dungeons,
• abyssal dungeons,
• guard raids,
• Legion raids,
• auction house,
• GvG S-rank islands and PvP trading NPCs.

To change them, you should know that you don't choose a Fervor bracelet, You roll it. The NPC "Bracelet Effects Master" allows you to assign or convert effects in exchange for money, with 4 attempts, a cost that increases with each attempt, and the ability to lock the lines to be retained.

Attention : Starting the process binds the bracelet to your character, making it unsellable. Be sure to check its value at the auction house before you begin. Unusable bracelets can be dismantled into fragments, which can be exchanged for new bracelets at the same NPC.

Bracelet selection criteria

A good bracelet can boost your damage by several percent without changing the rest of your gear. Before you choose, consider three things: your class, your battle statistics and the game's effects on the bracelet.

Your class and your playstyle

Each class has a different primary stat. A melee DPS doesn't look for the same effects as a support, so choose a bracelet whose effect fits your build.

A bracelet that boosts skill damage will work well for burst DPS. If you chain attacks quickly, an effect that refreshes with every hit, such as Fervor, will be much more profitable.

Battle Statistics

The bracelets feature additional combat statistics that directly affect your damage and attack speed.

• Crit : increase your critical hit chance, which is ideal if your build focuses on critical hits.
• Specialization : Boost your identity skills and your class meter.
• Speed : Reduces cooldown times and increases attack speed.
• Domination : Increases damage against enemies in a weakened state (stunned, immobilized, knocked back, or on the ground).

Also take a look at the base effect (Strength, Dexterity, or Intelligence, depending on your class): on an Elder, it can reach up to 5,000 points depending on the level achieved. This isn't just a gimmick—it's the heaviest link in the bracelet in terms of gross weight, so don't overlook it in favor of a flashy effect. On a bracelet Relic Where Elder, you can combine several lines of effect, which is a major factor in the endgame.

The effects and the tier of the bracelet

Bracelets come in only two rarities: Relic and Elder. A Relic bracelet can hold up to 4 lines, and an Ancient bracelet can hold up to 5.

Upgrading a Relic to Ancient automatically adds a line and increases the stat values already included. Each special effect is also available in three levels (low, medium, high): It's the setting—not just the name of the effect—that determines the power level.

the object level Also note: The best bracelets are unlocked with recent content. Some effects don't stack, so be sure to check the details before buying at the’auction house. A bracelet S tier Perfectly improved comes at a high cost in gold, but a version A tier Even a less-than-optimal approach is often enough to keep making progress.
