There will be a new tier of Ancient gear that can be unlocked along with the releases of the Akkan legion raid in Lost Ark western. In this Lost Ark Akkan Raid guide, we are going to focus on the Akkan ilvl requirements and rewards (normal & hard), new gear sets, honing material, as well as Ancient gear transfer. 

Lost Ark Akkan Release Date NA/EU

We are going to get Brelshaza hard in April, and you’ll need to reach an item level of 1560 to unlock all gates. There would be four months between Brel normal and hard mode, and after that, the next legion raid should be Elgacia, which probably comes out in May or June. Considering the time needed for players to reach 1580 ilvl for unlocking the Akkan raid, the estimated release date of Lost Ark Akkan is at least in August 2023, maybe later, overall, it is far away from now. So before the Akkan releases, you can hone your gear up to the 1580 item level.
