There is a lot to do in Lost Ark once you reach level 50. While the grinding part is a big portion of the game, there is a lot of dairy and weekly limited content, but not everything is worth your time.
Your efforts in the game should focus on activities that provide the best rewards for the amount of time you invest in them. Activities and quests will be divided into dailies and weeklies to keep things simple.

Dailies
Chaos Dungeon
The Chaos Dungeon is the first and most important of all the dailies you can do as a beginner. It is a very straightforward hack-and-slash encounter that you can either do alone or with a group of friends. The entrance to the dungeon can be found in every single major city. You also get to have two attempts at completing the Chaos Dungeon per day.
The rewards you get from the Chaos Dungeon include all the gear and materials you need to upgrade your character. You get armor crystals, weapon crystals, citrines, jewels, shards, and gear. These are the most common drops you can expect. You can also get a few rare rewards, but the drop rates are low. You have a low chance of getting tickets, ability stones, engraving books, and several other useful but rare items.
It is highly recommended that you complete the Chaos Dungeon every day on all your characters. They do not take long to complete. Some of these Chaos Dungeons can be completed more than once per day. The reward for them is a special currency that you can use to buy materials for upgrades. Sadly, the amount of currency you get is low. Thus, it is not worth completing them more than once for that daily reward.
Guardian Raids
Guardian Raids are unlocked once you reach level 50. They should be part of your daily routine. On average, these raids take 20 minutes to complete, and during that time, you and 3 other friends need to kill a Guardian boss. There are several Guardian bosses that you will encounter in this daily activity, and each boss has different mechanics that make them unique. Do not expect to be able to complete a Guardian Raid on your own. These fights can be challenging and heavily encourage players to complete them as a team of four.
You can expect armor crystals, weapon crystals, citrines, and jewelry in terms of rewards. These are the most common rewards.
Unlike the citrines you get in the Chaos Dungeon, the ones from the Guardian Raid are tradable with other players. Some boss may even drop special runes and their cards. Engraving books and ability stones may also be awarded when completing a Guardian Raid but they have a much lower drop chance.
Una’s Tasks
Una’s Tasks should be third on the third spot of your priority list. Try to complete your Chaos Dungeon and Guardian Raid first before moving to your daily Una’s Tasks. These dailies are most of the time simple fetch quests. Their significance for your character is not in the form of items you get from completing these dailies but from the reputation awarded.
Keep in mind that you can complete up to 3 of Una’s Tasks per day per character. However, the reputation you get is account-wide. This means that if you complete your dailies on one character and get awarded reputation points, you will not get the reputation points if you complete the tasks on a different character on the same day. This drawback makes Una’s Tasks less appealing to complete across all your characters.
Weeklies
Void Dungeons
The Void Dungeons are the 4 main versions of dungeons that you encountered already in Lost Ark. The difference is that the fights are more challenging and cannot be completed alone. Ideally, you should try to complete them on all your characters. You can complete Void Dungeons once per week per character.
The rewards you can expect from Void Dungeons are very good. You get jewelry, materials to craft gear for dungeon runs, cards, engraving books, and gold. The amount of gold alone makes it worthwhile to find a group and complete your weekly Void Dungeon. You should be aware that these dungeons can be challenging thus it is important to have a capable group to complete them and you should be knowledgeable about boss mechanics.
Abyss Raids
Abyss Raids are considered hard content. They are meant to be completed by 8 or 16 and consists of boss fights with multiple phases. It is highly recommended that you study boss mechanics and ensure that you have a team that is experienced to avoid whole raid wipes.
Rewards for completing Abyss Raids include crafting materials for end-game raid content. You also get a large amount of gold. This is considered the best gear you can obtain at the time of release.
Trials of the Abyss
This particular weekly activity is different from the rest. Unlike other dailies and weeklies, Trials of the Abyss is limited to 1 attempt per account and not per character. This means that you can complete them with one character only. Also, unlike other types of dungeons and raids, the bosses found here scale with your gear. This means that you can never reach a gear level so high that you can out-DPS boss mechanics. You will need to learn the boss mechanics and have a capable group to complete the task with.
The rewards are considered very good. You get plenty of upgrade materials and cards that are rare and difficult to come by. You also get gold, but due to the value of the rewards you can get, it is highly recommended that you complete the Trials of the Abyss every week.
