How to Buy or Extend the Crystalline Aura in Lost Ark

If you want to purchase or extend the Crystalline Aura, you can visit the in-game shop. You can access the shop on the bottom right of the in-game screen if you tap on the shopping cart icon.

How to Extend the Crystalline Aura in Lost Ark

Use the search bar on the top right of the Lost Ark Shop and type in Crystalline Aura. Some pre-populated fields will pop up for 30-days and 180-days of Crystalline Aura. Here are the associated costs:

  • 30-days Crystalline Aura – 420 Crystals or $9.99
  • 180-days Crystalline Aura – $49.99

You do get a slight dollar discount if you buy the 180-day Crystalline Aura. That means if you plan to play Lost Ark for the next six months, this will be better value for you.
