Lost Ark’s August update is set to arrive August 24, and while it’s not as sizable as previous monthly updates, it does introduce one critical new feature–the Pet Ranch.
Pets have always been important in Lost Ark. In addition to certain pets granting various stat boosts, they also conveniently gather loot. The Under the Arkesian Sun update will make pets even more important by allowing players to upgrade them using the new Pet Ranch feature at their personal stronghold.
Celebrate the summer in Lost Ark with new activities included in this week’s patch!

At the Pet Ranch, pets can be put to work in the Cookie Workshop, which increases their Expertise level and generates Jam Cookies, a form of currency used to purchase various items. However, pets training in the workshop will have their morale drop, and a pet with no morale won’t produce cookies. It’s up to players to raise the pet’s morale with various items or by letting the pet relax at the ranch.
