It does not, but also… it sort of does. Just not in the traditional way you might think with MMOs. Unlike World of Warcraft, for example, you don’t require a subscription to log in and play Lost Ark. Nor do you need it to get into new content.
However, there is a subscription-like item that you may want to consider buying. The Crystalline Aura is an item that gives a buff to timers, reduces the cost of fast travel, and allows gives you extra item slots. When you activate a Crystalline Aura it applies its effect to your character for 30 days.
