Lost Ark publishes ranking boards per region. [Character rankings](https://lostark.wiki/tools/character-rankings) lists the boards whose names the game gives in every language, Reverse Ruin, Catastrophe and Paradise, and opens each for any of the five regions.

## One board, one region, one page of ten

Each board page shows ten characters in the order the game publishes: rank, character, class, item level and score. The next and previous links go to the next and previous page, and every page has its own address, so a link opens the same page of the same board in the same region. Page 1 has one address, the board address without a page number.

## Sampled boards say so

A board that the service reports as a sample carries a notice that it lists some characters, not every character of the region. A sampled board is never presented as the full ranking.

## From a row to a character

Every character name is a link to [Character lookup](https://lostark.wiki/tools/character-lookup) for that region, and every class is a link to its class page. If the ranking service cannot be reached, the board shows nothing and offers a retry rather than an empty table.
