The rapport feature is a great way to receive valuable items in Lost Ark. You interact with NPCs, they tell you their story, you play a song or perform actions to advance their levels, and boom, you get valuable stuff in the process. 

In this overview, we will talk about the Rapport system and which NPCs are great to start your journey with.

Unlocking Rapport with NPC

You will meet most NPCs with who you can build Rapport through the main quest. Some require certain Virtue Stat to interact for Rapport or once you have completed a certain quest.

Using the Map key (M key) and filtering NPC (Rapport NPC), you will find NPCs with floating hearts above their heads. 

Leveling up your Rapport

Rapport in Lost ark can be increased by giving gifts, showing particular emotes, or playing songs. Your relationship with an NPC increases as you reach certain levels of Rapport.

The Rapport tier list is listed in order: 

• Neutral 1

• Neutral 2

• Amicable 1

• Amicable 2

• Amicable 3

• Friendly 1

• Friendly 2

• Friendly 3

• Trusted

Rapport Rewards 

As soon as you meet an NPC and unlock their Rapport, you will receive a reward. You will get better rewards the higher you raise your level with the NPC. 

Most usual rewards include:

• Cards

• Stat Increase Potion

• Coins

• Crafting Materials

• Battle Items

• Secret Maps

• Entrance Tickets

• Engraving Recipes

• Sail Glyphs

• Providence Stones
