About this converter
Lost Ark charges fixed gold for Knowledge Transfer skips and Tier 4 honing attempts, which makes every cost easy to compare. A Punika story skip costs 2,400 gold, a Tier 4 armor attempt at plus 1 costs 376, and the matching weapon attempt costs 624. That means one Punika transfer equals about 6 armor attempts or 4 weapon attempts. Every figure on this page is a fixed gold price from Maxroll transfer tables and Lost Ark Wiki honing tables for the global PC version. Crystalline Aura, Mari Shop, pheons and pirate coin ships are not priced in gold, so they are left out.
How to use it
Pick two costs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first cost, one the matching count of the second, one the total in gold. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 South Vern transfer against Tier 4 weapon attempts, or a Punika transfer against armor attempts.
Transfer prices run 600 for North Vern plus Shushire, 1,000 Rohendel, 1,400 Yorn, 1,600 Feiton, 2,400 Punika and 3,600 South Vern. Each needs an item level and a cleared main. Honing gold is charged per attempt after XP fill. Weapons cost more than armor at every step, and costs rise as success rates fall: plus 10 attempts cost 704 armor and 1,048 weapon at 15 percent.
