"Trusted" Status Bug?

Hi There!

I’m a little confused as to what is happening with my gold “trusted” status, so I’m bringing it here for guidance. I’ve had Steam 2FA for a very long time. I’ve also, just always had gold trusted status in Lost Ark. I’ve always been able to use the currency exchange, and also use that currency the moment I get it.

I’m not sure when exactly this started, because I don’t exchange super often, but I did first notice this morning that it’s now making me wait 3 days before being able to use this same currency I have been getting this entire time.

I only have exactly 1 character, on exactly 1 server, and I can’t think of any reason why my “trusted” status would be revoked.

Server: NA West, Rohendel
Character: Faeerrie

All gold from the exchange now has a 3 day holding period to prevent fraudulent gold from making it into the economy and as another layer of protection for stolen accounts/credit cards.

This effects all players including those with “Trusted” accounts.

  • Added new preventions to deter gold sellers. Paid gold (purchased from the currency exchange) will have a 3-day withholding period. Gold that is under a withholding period will be called ‘withheld funds’. Gold without a withholding period will be called ‘available funds’. Withheld funds will be restricted in the following ways:
  • Cannot send withheld funds through mail
  • Cannot deduct from withheld funds when accepting billing mail
  • Cannot use on 1:1 trades
  • Cannot use in Auction House
  • Cannot use in Marketplace
  • Cannot use in Loot Auctions

Thank you for pointing this out, Bluecogs! This is correct :slight_smile: .

Thank you! I learned this on a different post where someone was complaining about it, but I appreciate the source. I typically read all of the release notes, but I missed that part, apparently!
