New info has kept flowing out with the Lost Ark media conference hosted today in South Korea. At the same time, CM Lisha posted a
detailed blog on the official website, introducing how Tripod System works in the game as well as some useful tips.
DeePrixel did an awesome translation job, posting the content on
Reddit so now we have an English version blog.
What is the tripod system?
As you level up, you'll get skill points which you can allocate to your skill. When your skill level reaches lvl.4, 7, 10, your skill tier will upgrade to Tier 1, 2, 3 respectively. When your skill tier is upgraded, you get to choose an additional effect for your skill. The three choices you make for a skill is what we call the
[Tripod System].

In simple words, level up the character -> Acquire skill point -> Allocate it to a skill -> Apply tripod system to a skill when its tier upgrades.
Once you reached to level 12, you'll get first skill point. When you level up to 16, you'll get 4 skill points which can be used to level up your skills to 4 and your first tripod system will be available. Level 22 will allow you to upgrade your skill to tier 2. Reaching level 30 will upgrade your skill to tier 3.

Tripod system can be changed at any time with
no drawbacks, but there are some exceptions to this which is after entering the Guardian Raid, Secret Dungeon, Colosseum, Cube, and the Tower of Shadow. Noted allocating your skill points should be careful as there will be
some restrictions to reset your skill points.
Tripod system is very flexible so players can use the system strategically.
1.Tripod for hunting (aka grinding)
In the field where there are a lot of generic mobs, making your skills faster and more powerful can bring up your hunting (
cough grinding) efficiency to its full potential.
Recommended: damage boost, cooltime reduction, mana consumption rate deduction.

2. Tripod for Dungeon Boss or Raid
Most of the Elite monsters and the Boss monsters are immune to crowd control, so we recommend you to set your tripod around HP management, so that you can stabilize the balance between your defense and offence.
Recommended: defense increase, special effect which only works on the monsters immune to crowd control, movement speed increase.

3. Tripod for PvP
For the PvP, you have to be agile and be immune to the crowd control, but it mostly depends on what class you'll be playing as.
Recommended: crowd control, attack speed increase, movement speed increase, skill range increase, super-armour (crowd control immunity) etc... we encourage you to try as many combinations as possible to suit your own style of battle.
4. Tripod considering the synergy between the tiers
I'll use Devil Hunter's shotgun skill
"Omen of Disaster" as an example to explain this. This skill shoots your Shotgun 2 times in succession, but when you apply your Tier 3 tripod
"Disaster's Aftermath", you are able shoot 3 times. This will make Tier 1 and Tier 2 tripod effect that activates with certain percentage of chance more likely to be activated.
5. And more!
Take the tips the above as a word of advice, but don't take it as it is! You can make your own unique setups.
Normally you can get skill points after you level up but there's an extra way to get bonus skill points, which is
Medal Quest. Players can take quests from
Grandpa Medals. Different medal points will be rewarded after you complete the quests. For more details, make sure you check out the
