Each one of the above packs comes with the Head Start item included, this is what will entitle you to three days of early access playtime.

Each pack contains some basic items like a pet, aura and in-game title. If you are willing to spend the big bucks on the Platinum Pack, you'll be set to purchase just about anything from the in-game store as well as have access to a ton of content that unlocks once your character hits certain level milestones.

Alternatively, if you don't wish to pay anything for the game ahead of launch, it will be free-to-play from Friday, 11 February. These founders packs just offer fans of Lost Ark a way to jump in early and possibly boost their accounts to a similar level that their alternative region accounts were at.
