With the arrival of Tier 4 in Lost Ark, the daily chaos dungeon grind has shifted to the Voldis Depths β the new chaos dungeon for the Voldis expansion. Requiring an Item Level of 1660, T4 chaos dungeons feature redesigned routes, tougher elites, and updated material pools that reward optimized clears. Below is a verified walkthrough to help you farm efficiently every day.

How Tier 4 Chaos Dungeons Work
Tier 4 chaos dungeons retain the core structure players know from T3 but with notable updates:
- Two stages per run. Stage 1 contains regular mobs, followed by Stage 2 with an elite Named monster (red icon).
- Higher mob density. T4 spawns more enemies per room, rewarding AoE-heavy builds.
- Destined Leapstone drops. Each clear awards Tier 4 Destined Leapstones β the primary upgrade material for T4 gear progression.
- Accessory rewards. Legendary accessories drop from clears, with T4 stat pools replacing their T3 predecessors.
- Clear time matters. Faster clears correlate with better loot quality, so build optimization directly impacts daily gains.
The fundamental loop remains: enter, clear both stages, collect materials, repeat twice daily.
Optimized Clearing Routes
The most important skill in chaos dungeon farming is route efficiency. Here is the standard approach for Voldis Depths:
| Phase | Priority | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Enter early | Run through all mob rooms without stopping; save buffs for the boss |
| Stage 1 | Buff window | Use Attack/Defense buff cards and potions immediately upon entering |
| Stage 2 | Skip trash if fast | If you can kill the Named quickly, skip smaller packs |
| Stage 2 | Save cooldowns | Hold Awakening and identity burst skills for the Named elite |
| Stage 2 | Exit fast | Once the Named falls, leave immediately β do not clear remaining trash |
Key tip: Enter the dungeon as soon as it becomes available each day. Early entry prevents queue delays and lets you secure both runs before peak hours.
Stage 1 Deep Dive: Room Flow
Voldis Depths Stage 1 features approximately 8-10 mob rooms before the checkpoint boss. Understanding the flow pattern helps maximize speed:
- First three rooms are standard pack clears. Use basic AoE skills to group and damage.
- Middle rooms introduce stagger-check mechanics on certain elites. Position accordingly.
- Final room boss is a checkpoint enemy. It has moderate HP and basic attacks. Do not waste major cooldowns here.
Move continuously between rooms. Standing still waiting for mobs to die wastes valuable seconds that add up across multiple runs.
Stage 2 Deep Dive: Elite Management
Stage 2 contains a single Named elite with significantly higher HP than T3 equivalents. The encounter follows this pattern:
- Initial approach. Move toward the Named while clearing path mobs quickly.
- Burst window. Activate identity gauge burst, Awakening skill, and any damage buff cards simultaneously.
- Execution phase. Use your highest AoE skills while maintaining positional awareness of the Namedβs attack telegraphs.
- Quick exit. Once the Named falls, collect drops and leave. Remaining trash mobs do not matter.
Best Classes for Voldis Depths
T4 mob density changes the meta slightly. Classes with large AoE bursts clear faster than sustained DPS builds.
-
Slayer (Punisher) β Her Brawlstarter Identity Skill wipes entire mob packs in a single activation. One press, screen cleared. Consistently top-tier for speed.
-
Souleater (Full Moon) β Fast skill rotation with high AoE coverage. The full-moon burst cycle lets her clear dense mob groups rapidly, placing her among the fastest clearers.
-
Aeromancer β Constant tornado and wind-based AoE keeps small mobs grouped and damaged. Lower peak damage than Slayer or Souleater, but excellent consistency in dense rooms.
-
Arcanist β Stack-based card skills provide strong burst AoE windows. When stacked properly, Arcanist melts through elite packs in seconds.
-
Artist β Skill-based AoE toolkit covers large areas reliably. Her paint-based skills maintain steady crowd control and damage output throughout both stages.
Classes reliant on single-target DPS or slow rotation cycles will fall behind in clear speed and should consider switching alts for chaos duty.
Speed Tier Class Rankings
| Tier | Classes | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| S+ | Slayer, Souleater | Best AoE density and burst uptime |
| S | Aeromancer, Arcanist | Strong consistent damage with good mobility |
| A | Artist, Summoner | Reliable clears but slightly slower rotation cycles |
| B | Berserker, Destroyer | Viable but lack the AoE density of top tiers |
Gear & Relic Set Adjustments for T4
Several relic and combat gear adjustments affect T4 chaos dungeon performance:
Betrayal Set
The Betrayal relic set, long favored for AFK clearing in T3, sees reduced effectiveness in T4. The lightning proc damage does not scale as well against higher T4 enemy HP pools. If you are still using Betrayal for lazy clears, expect noticeably slower times.
Recommended Switches
- Hallucination or Salvation relic sets offer better damage profiles for T4 mob HP ranges and are the preferred choices for optimized clears.
- Ensure your relic set bonuses complement your chosen playstyle β burst sets for speed, sustained sets for consistency.
Main Stats Priority
T4 Destined Leapstone costs scale with main stats. Prioritize Crit and Spec on your gear depending on class needs. Swift remains viable for certain class rotations but should not override primary damage stats.
Engravings
- Grudge remains essential for maximum clear speed.
- Cursed Doll pairs well with Grudge for pure damage output.
- Adrenaline is a solid alternative if you prefer survivability.
Stat Distribution Tips
When rolling new gear, keep these priorities in mind:
- Weapon β Always Crit or Spec depending on class preference. Secondary stat should be Crit if possible.
- Armor pieces β Mix Crit and Spec based on your classβs needs. Empty slots should favor the stat you are missing.
- Accessories β Prioritize Crit/Spec/Swift combinations. Dismantle Domination and Endurance variants immediately.
Daily Routine Checklist
| Task | Frequency | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Chaos Dungeon runs | 2x daily | Both Voldis Depths clears |
| Material sorting | Daily | Keep only Spec/Crit/Swift accessories; dismantle Domination/Endurance |
| Leapstone check | Weekly | Track total Destined Leapstone accumulation vs. gear upgrade needs |
| Class alt check | Periodic | Rotate alts if your main alt falls behind on clear speed |
Time of Day Strategy
Chaos dungeon timing can affect your experience:
- Off-peak hours (early morning or late evening) have shorter queue times and less competition for resources.
- Daily reset allows two runs. Complete both as early as possible to lock in your daily progress.
- Event days may offer bonus materials. Check weekly events before running if they overlap with chaos dungeon rewards.
Accessory Dismantling Guide
T4 accessories introduce new stat variants. Knowing what to keep saves inventory space and gold:
| Stat | Keep? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Crit | Yes | Primary damage stat for most builds |
| Spec | Yes | Class-dependent but generally top priority |
| Swift | Yes | Viable for specific rotation-based classes |
| Domination | Dismantle | Not competitive in T4 gear pool |
| Endurance | Dismantle | Not competitive in T4 gear pool |
Always dismantle low-value accessories immediately. Inventory space is limited, and T4 market prices favor high-stat versions.
Dismantling Decision Tree
- Check primary stat first. Is it Crit, Spec, or Swift? Keep it.
- Check secondary stat. If secondary is also Crit or Spec, prioritize keeping this accessory.
- Domination or Endurance primary? Dismantle immediately regardless of secondary stat.
- Mixed stats (e.g., Crit primary, Endurance secondary)? Keep for personal use, dismantle duplicates.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using Awakening too early. Saving your Awakening skill until the Named elite ensures maximum burst on the highest-priority target.
- Ignoring buff windows. Entering without buff cards or potions wastes the clear and reduces speed significantly.
- Clearing unnecessary trash in Stage 2. Every second spent on leftover mobs is a second not spent on your next run.
- Staying on outdated relic sets. Betrayal may still work, but switching to Hallucination or Salvation pays off in clear speed.
- Neglecting your alt character. Running both characters through Voldis Depths daily doubles your material income.
- Running on autopilot. Even casual clears benefit from active engagement. Standing still to watch animations costs time.
- Hoarding low-tier accessories. T4 accessory options refresh regularly. Selling or dismantling old items keeps your inventory functional.
Advanced Speed Optimization Techniques
For players looking to shave additional seconds off their clears, consider these advanced strategies:
Positioning Efficiency
- Enter mob rooms already moving toward the center. Mobs cluster naturally; position to maximize AoE hitboxes.
- In Stage 2, kite the Named toward tighter corridors when possible. Narrow spaces increase AoE effectiveness.
Cooldown Mapping
- Track your skill rotation cycle and align it with mob spawn patterns. Pre-charge skills before rooms with heavy mob density.
- Save identity gauge skills specifically for Stage 2βs Named. Using them in Stage 1 wastes the stronger enemy encounter opportunity.
Economy Management
- Sell unused T4 accessories on the market during peak hours for better gold returns.
- Stockpile buff cards before chaos runs. Cards do not persist between days, so prepare each morning.
Summary
Tier 4 Voldis Depths chaos dungeons demand faster clears and better gear awareness than previous tiers. Focus on AoE-heavy alts, optimize your relic set for T4 scaling, manage your accessory inventory, and maintain a disciplined daily routine. With consistent runs, Destined Leapstone accumulation will keep your gear progression on track.
