Unraveling the Secrets of the Nightmare Set
How exactly does the Nightmare set work in Lost Ark? Let’s uncover its secrets and understand its mechanics.
When you activate your Awakening skill, you initially receive the Magick Addiction buff if your mana is at 100. This buff enhances your damage output. However, once your mana falls below 30, the Magick Addiction buff transforms into Boundless MP. Boundless MP provides mana regeneration, cooldown reduction, and increased attack/movement speed. If your mana returns to 100, the buff reverts back to Magick Addiction. The duration of these buffs is permanent and remains until mana is depleted. It’s important to note that both effects cannot be active simultaneously.
Though your Awakening skill doesn’t consume mana, its damage output is not as significant as using other skills against bosses or outside of boss encounters. The crucial aspect lies in acquiring the buff before utilizing your skills.
Acquiring the Lost Ark Relic Nightmare Set
To obtain the complete Nightmare set in Lost Ark, you must craft specific materials from Valtan and Vykas. Crafting all six items of the Nightmare set requires 45 Bones (Valtan) and 30 Wings (Vykas). The weapon, helmet, and chest can be crafted using drops from Valtan, while the bottom, gloves, and shoulders require drops from Vykas. Additionally, the drops from the normal and hard mode of these legion raids also yield valuable Lost Ark gold and other materials.
Choosing the Ideal Class & Build for the Nightmare Set
The Nightmare set excels when paired with skills that consume mana, offering the highest damage multiplier. However, due to the mana limitations, not all classes can fully utilize its power. Here, we present a list of the best classes and builds to effectively utilize the Nightmare relic set:
