While traveling in the world of Lost Ark, players might find a peculiar heart-shaped item called the Providence Stone. Providence Stones serve one purpose in Lost Ark – they are used to buy rapport items that are exclusive gifts that can be given to your NPC sweethearts. If you increase this rapport rank, you’ll get better and better rewards as a result such as many otherwise difficult-to-find items, island souls, giant’s hearts, virtue potions, and even some currency such as lost ark gold! However, how does one get Providence Stones in Lost Ark?
The fastest way to farm Providence Stones in Lost Ark is to:
Seek out Elite and Alpha enemies: These are denoted by the orange hue around them, so make sure you’re defeating plenty of them in order to score some Stones.
Partake in sudden quests: As you scour Arkesia’s plains, you may get pulled into random quests along the way. Denoted in red, these largely ask you to kill vast numbers of enemies within a small area. Some of them may drop Providence Stones.
Complete quests: Double check any quests you haven’t done yet just in case you’ll be rewarded a Stone for your efforts.
Conquer dungeons: Doing certain questions within different dungeons also rewards you with Providence stones. These are:
Ancient Elveria (Quest: Sigmund’s Whereabouts)
Frostpeak Temple (Quest: Wolves at the Sanctum)
Gorgon’s Nest (Quest: Qualifications to Enter Balankar)
Maze of Mirrors (Quest: Blinding Fog)
Night of Walpurgis (Quest: Repair the Magic Barrier)
Phantom Palace (Quest: Elzowin’s Defender)
Realm of Elementals (Quest: Fallen Flamekeeper)
Vrad’s Hideout (Quest: Finding Vrad)
Afterward, you’ll be able to use these stones to trade in for rapport items that you can give to your new NPC friends and sweethearts. Remember, specific gifts will give more rapport than others—you can find their preferred gifts in the Rapport menu found in the Adventure tab at the bottom of the in-game screen.
Whether Prideholme’s stunning innkeeper Neria is the woman of your dreams, or the mysterious Gideon has won your heart, you can trade Providence Stones to Nada or Travelling Merchants for some meaningful trinkets that’ll make them fall head over heels for you.
