Players who snagged a Founder’s Pack or supporter pack for Lost Ark on release may be wondering what the Crystalline Aura does. The Crystalline Aura is a set of perks and benefits a player gets when it’s active. The effects are pretty noticeable, especially if you plan to play Lost Ark more than casually. This guide will explain what the Crystalline Aura does in Lost Ark and how to extend or activate it.
The Crystalline Aura is like having a subscription for Lost Ark. While Lost Ark is free-to-play, supporting them by having an active Crystalline Aura will, in turn, give you some nice benefits. Below, you can see a full list of the Crystalline Aura effects, which are also viewable while you’re inside Lost Ark.

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.
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. Note that Crystalline Aura access is also generally included in Founder’s Packs or limited-time promo packs available on the Lost Ark Steam store page.
