How long does it take to do Punika?

Omnium Stars are late-game rewards in Lost Ark that you are able to obtain once you finish the main quest line in Punika. You can earn up to 6 rewards total once you collect all of Lost Ark’s Omnium Stars. In this guide, we will break down how to earn each Omnium Star and what you’ll earn from each one.

How To Unlock Omnium Stars

To get access to the Omnium Star Rewards, you must first reach Tier 3 and Complete the Punika Main Story Quest Line. Once you complete this, you will unlock a quest named “Whispering Star” and be introduced to Albion, a White Dragon located in Nia Village in Punika.  

How long does it take to do Punika?

#1 – Complete “Whispering Star” Quest 

The “Whispering Star Quest is unlocked once you complete the Punika Main Story Quest Line. Go to Albion to accept the quest. Complete it and earn your first Omnium Star!

#2 – Complete Pond Of Purification Una’s Task 21 Times

This Omnium Star will take you a while to Earn.  You will need to complete the Daily Una’s Task named Pond Of Purification.  The quest doesn’t take long to complete but it will at least take you 21 days to do it enough times to Earn The Omnium Star.  Make sure you start completing these as soon as you finish the Punika Main Story Quest Line.

#3 – Level Nia’s Report to Trusted

This Omnium Star can either be really easy or really difficult depending on if you saved up your Reputation Gain Items as you leveled up.   If you do not have access to these items, you will need to complete all of Nia’s quests, which will eventually require you to have both 330 Wisdom and Kindness to accept, which will take a very long time to achieve.

To bypass this requirement, you will require anywhere from 12 to 17 Legendary Report Gifts. To complete this step, you will first need to level Nia up to Friendly rank 1 between 2000 and 9499.

It is IMPORTANT to note that once you pass 9499 in Friendly Level 1, you can no longer gift items without completing the Quest that requires 330 Wisdom and Kindness

Next, you will need to gift a large number of Legendary Report Gifts all at once. Each Legendary Gift gives 2000 rep and you will need to push all the way from Friendly 1 to Trusted in one exchange. This generally takes around 11000 reputations per level so to gift the correct amount you will need to take 22000 + the amount you have left to rank up Friendly Level 1. The minimum amount of Legendary Rep Gifts this could take is 12. Make sure you do the math correctly as there is NO GOING BACK

#4 – Purchase from Spearfish Hunting Guild Vessel for 8016 Sun Coins

Earning this Omnium Star is pretty straightforward. Take 8016 Sun Coins to the Spearfish Hunting Guild Vessel in the Sea of Procyon just outside of Punika.  There are many ways to earn High Seas Coin Chest Such as Islands, Procyon’s Compass, and Seasonal Events such as the Grand Prix.  

#5 – Defeat Moake, World Boss in Punika Field

This is another difficult Omnium Star to Unlock. You will need to be at least item level 1370 with a large number of other people to take down Moake. If you are a part of a large company, you can head over there together or you can try channel hopping or using global chat to try to find a group. It’s important for your group to be careful not to reset the boss as this fight can be quite long.

#6 – Drops from Garden of Despair Boss, Stella

To complete this step you will need to first earn a Garden of Despair Key from the Daily Quest on Anguished Isle. Once you do enter the Garden of Despair Dungeon and kill the boss named Stella for a chance to drop the Sixth Omnium Star.

Omnium Star Rewards 

The Rewards you gain from earning Omnium Stars are extremely valuable and something that you will eventually want to unlock as they include items like Greater Skill Point Potions and the Wealth Skill Rune.It is important to note that even though the Omnium Stars are numbered 1-6, you will earn these rewards by the amount of Omnium Stars you collect.  

Lost Ark’s Punika (the land of women), is the very first continent that takes you into tier three content (after completing the main story and getting your 1302 gear from your Punika Chaos Dungeons). Consequently, pretty much the entirety of the rest of the game opens up before you, so to say that there’s a lot to do now is a bit of an understatement.

Punika’s hidden stories open up Arkesia's narrative some more, as the hidden stories of all the other continents have done before. However, some of these have the most steps yet, going up all the way up to a daunting six-parter. So get ready to buckle down and run around (and perhaps do a lot of alt-tabbing) for this one.

THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Hidden Story 1: Fantastic Duo

The first hidden story has you starting off with a four-parter. The first two interactions are in Tideshelf Path, the third is in Nia Village, and the fourth is in Starsand beach. You’ve got twenty minutes to get from each interaction to the next.

The first (top left picture) is by the Repairer NPC (Nicole) and Ocean Liner NPC (Riff). It’s convenient to start here if you’re just docking at the continent to start your hidden story journey. The second (top right picture) is in the southwestern area of the zone. The third (bottom left picture) is by the two Rapport NPCs Yom the Squirrel and Sapiano the Fox (we’ve got a list of all the Rapport NPCs here). The fourth (bottom right) is on the eastern side of the zone in Inath Beach, under a palm tree and slightly obscured by sand.

Hidden Story 2: On The Origins Of Punika

Lost Ark split image of Punika Hidden Story 2 with orange circles around items and player locations on map

The second hidden story is another four-parter, but is far more inconvenient, as it requires you to visit both dungeons (luckily, however, this is the only hidden story on the continent that requires you to visit the dungeons at all). The first interaction is in Tideshelf Path, the second is in Tikatika Colony, the third is in Naruni Hot Springs dungeon and the fourth is in Oreha’s Well dungeon. You’ve got twenty minutes to get from each interaction to the next.

The first (top left) is in the central area of the zone (to the west of Central Plaza and south of Mellow Beach) overlooking the beach. The second (top right) is on the western end of the zone, near the entrance to Secret Forest. The third (bottom left) is about a third way through the dungeon, sitting near a couple of lounge chairs. The fourth (bottom right) is at the very end of the dungeon. You’ll be dropped right into the boss fight as soon as you arrive at the last platform, so you won’t be able to pick up the last interaction until defeating Albion.

Hidden Story 3: Welcome To The Lailai Festival!

The third hidden story is a whopping five-parter, but thankfully, all of them are in Nia Village, so it shouldn’t be too annoying. Surprisingly, even though all the interactions are in the same zone, you’ve nonetheless got twenty minutes to get from each one to the next.

Hidden Story 3-1

The first is near Rapport NPCs Liru and Berver, right next to a large drum.

Hidden Story 3-2

The second is near Yom and Sapiano again. It’s the standing camera.

Hidden Story 3-3

The third is on the upper side of the Festival Plaza next to a circular table.

Hidden Story 3-4

The fourth is right next to the portal statue (where you can set your Song of Return to).

Hidden Story 3-5

The fifth is right next to Rapport NPC Albion, and also happens to be right next to a Mokoko seed as well.

Hidden Story 4: Lost Item: The Parcel

The fourth hidden story is a six-parter. All the interactions are in Nia Village, except the fifth one, which is in Starsand beach. You’ve got twenty minutes to get from each interaction to the next. They’re all pretty easy to spot too, as they’re all decently sized boxes and all next to Rapport NPCs (except the fifth one). While you’re spending the time next to all of them, we’ve got a list of the best ways to get gift chests for them.

The first (top left) is right next to Nagi, the second (top right) is right next to Liru, the third (middle left) is right next to Nia, and the fourth (middle right) is right next to Shana. The fifth (bottom left) is right by the entrance to Nia village. It’s actually quicker to get there from Nia Village instead of going to the nearest triport in Starsand Beach. The sixth (bottom right) is right next to Jahara. There’s nothing to click here, just walk by the potted plant.

Hidden Story 5: What Awakened In The Forest

Lost Ark split image of Punika Hidden Story 5 with orange circles around items and player locations on map

The fifth hidden story is yet another four-parter. The first two interactions are in Tideshelf Path, the third is in Starsand Beach, and the fourth is in Secret Forest. You’ve got twenty minutes to get from each interaction to the next.

The first (top left) is right by the Lailai Living Quarters triport. The second (top right) is in the Ashen Volcanic area, in the western part of the zone. The third (bottom left) is in the northern area of the zone, Inath Cliff. The fourth (bottom right) is sitting atop the waterfall right in front of Oreha’s Well dungeon. There also happens to be a Mokoko Seed next to this one too.

Hidden Story 6: Diary Washed Ashore

The sixth hidden story is a refreshing two-parter. The first interaction is in Starsand Beach and the second is in Nia Village. You’ve got twenty minutes to get from the first one to the second one. The first (left picture) is on the western side of the zone, Inath Beach. It’s in the broken hull of a shipwreck, and, once again, there is a Mokoko seed right next to it. The second (right picture) is hiding amidst some grass in the northeastern area of the zone

Hidden Story 7: Flower Of The Festival

Lost Ark split image of Punika Hidden Story 7 with orange circles around items and player locations on map

The seventh hidden story is a three-parter, and all the interactions are in different zones. The first is in Tideshelf Path, the second is in Starsand Beach, and the third is in Nia Village. You’ve got twenty minutes to get from each interaction to the next. The first (left picture) is in the Forest of Life area of the zone, near the entrance to Nia Village. The second (middle picture) is in the southeastern part of the zone, Tropical Fruit Orchard. The third (right picture) is pretty nicely obscured beneath some plants and their shade, a few steps away from one of the piñatas sprawled out on the ground.

What level is Punika?

The Punika Powerpass is a single-use item that allows players to select a character from their character selection screen to instantly level them up to Level 50 and provide them with iLvl 1302 gear.

How long is the Feiton questline Lost Ark?

It's more fair to say that Feiton takes between 2.5 and 3.5 Hours to complete, depending on whether players snatch up and complete all the Side Quests they can along the way (don't forget about the Skill Point Potion Side Quest either).

How long is South Vern questline?

South Vern has a lengthy questline with a total of 38 quests, taking you across two new zones. Here's our guide for quests 21-30, starting with Intermediate Report and ending with Splitting Sky.
