Don't bother Fusing Tier 2 Gems past Level 5. They'll become irrelevant at Tier Lost Ark Gold but sell for a decent price at Level 5. Don't Fuse Gems that have Damage/Cooldown Bonuses for Skills currently in use. Don't ever Fuse three Damage-type or Cooldown-type Gems hoping this will make the result of the same type, Gem Fusion results are entirely random. Never Fuse equipped Gems of a high level unless there's a relevant Gem of a Similar Level already ready to replace it.
Lost Ark's Rapport system is designed to take months (at minimum) to fully complete. So, who are the best NPCs to focus on first?
The Rapport System in Smilegate's MMORPG, Lost Ark, is absurdly robust. There are over 70 different NPCs across Arkesia (and who knows if more will be added in future updates) that players can give gifts, perform music for, or emote to in order to increase their Affinity with them.

And, each NPC has different rewards for the four levels of Affinity (which are Neutral, Amicable, Friendly, and Trusted). But, with all these options, which NPCs are the best for players to focus on early in their Lost Ark adventures? Well, let's go over some of the most useful Rapport NPCs in the game, what they give, and why players should try and max them out first.

So, what exactly makes the Rapport Rewards for one NPC "better" than the rewards from another? Well, it's up to the individual, but most players tend to boil it down to Collectibles, Gold, and Virtue Potions. Collectibles, of course, mean things like Giant's Hearts, Island Souls, and cheap Lost Ark Gold Stars.
