Rapport is one of the various currencies in Lost Ark Gold. It is possible to overlook its importance since it's more of a story than a combat-based and focuses on relationships more than armour and weapons. However, as with everything in Lost Ark it is closely connected.

The growing rapport developing with NPCs opens the doors to quests previously unavailable and also giving access to items that are unique. There are over 70 NPCs spread across the continents which offer valuable collectables or gold. However, the top ones will offer up anything from a Giant's Heart to unique Adventurer's Tome requirements.

Which NPCs will accept Rapport Offerings?

A growing number of Rapport NPCs are available as you progress through the game. You'll recognize them by the two hearts floating occasionally above their heads making them easy to identify. They're also evident in your maps. Or for a bigger picture you can go to your Rapport display (by clicking the 'Adventure' button at the bottom of your screen, and then 'Rapport'). It will show the location of your device, as well as the other information we'll look at in the next section.

Some NPCs from Rapport are available once you've found their location. However, the majority of them will require that you meet some type of prerequisite before you can communicate with them. It's typically completing a quest line, which will cement their feeling of their worth as a friend. But you can see the steps required by opening the main Rapport display and then hovering your mouse over the blacked out NPC. There's still an unlock requirement and a text box will pop out explaining what exactly that is.
