There are multiple ways to unlock points for your Lost Ark Gold Engravings - such as through your accessories (earrings, necklace, rings) and through ability stones. Accessories and stones can be collected, looted, and bought in Lost Ark.

Lastly, you can also unlock character-specific Learned Engravings which are called a variety of different things depending on where you play, but these "Learned Engravings" or "Imprints" are unlocked via books. These can be found in the world of Arkesia pretty much everywhere, from Dungeons, Raids, and Islands. You need multiple books to unlock the Learned Engraving slots, so it's not just a matter of finding one or two.

This is where things get pretty interesting. Setting up your Engravings at the start of endgame content is a bit daunting - you should really focus on this when you hit 1370 I-level and can begin the first Abyss Raid (ARGOS). You won't have accessories with loads of Engraving points, and you might not have the Learned Engraving slots ready to go, or even an ability stone to give you any Engraving points.

Let's look at a sample set of accessories, stones, and Learned Engravings you might have available to you.

Here is a sample Engravings build at 1370 - this is referred to as a 333111. Three level 3 Engravings and three level 1 Engravings, including a negative.

This is still a LOT for the beginning of Engravings. You won't have access to this many points before around 1370 i-level, and your accessories and stones will set you back a fair bit of gold.

Instead, it's a good idea to focus on JUST your Class Engraving to start out with, or a Combat Engraving that works really well for your class (Super Charge for the Gunlancer, Desperate Salvation for the Bard, etc, etc). You can then apply the Engraving TWICE in your Engraving slots, for a total of 6 points in total for the Uncommon level book.

Ability stones come later, as you will want to focus on finding the right stone for your class. Right at the start, however, you can pick up and use pretty much any stone that comes your way. It isn't until much later in the game that you should start worrying about class-specific Engravings and builds.
