Shark Race Stages and Upgrades
Progressing through the Shark race stages is essential to unlocking its full potential. Here is how to advance your race:
| Stage | Requirement |

| V2 | Complete the Colosseum Quest and the Alchemist Quest. |
| V3 | Complete Arowe's Quest (requires defeating a Sea Beast). |
| V4 | Complete the Temple of Time and the Trial of Water. |
Abilities by Stage
The Shark race offers significant defensive utility, especially when dealing with water-based threats:
- V1: Increased movement speed in water and decreased incoming damage while using Fruit.
- V2: Negates all water damage and further increases movement speed in and out of the water.
- V3: Unlocks Water Body, a powerful ability that reduces incoming damage from players and NPCs by 70% for 4.5 seconds (25-second cooldown).
- V4: Unlocks Whirlpool, which slows enemies and reduces their defense (stacks). Additionally, Leviathan's Armor provides a shield that blocks 85% of incoming damage and regenerates when you deal damage to others.
