Where Is Elsword Progress Stored?
Elsword keeps characters server side on the KOG account, with the client holding screenshots, replays, and settings.
Last updated
Elsword is server authoritative like its MMO siblings. Characters, inventory, and progress live on KOG servers under your account, split by region. The PC client keeps screenshots, replays, and settings locally.
Confirm the publisher region on a fresh install, since accounts never cross regions. Local cache clears safely when troubleshooting without touching characters. Screenshots and replay files are the only irreplaceable locals, so copy those before wiping anything.
Where Elsword stores this, by platform
<ElswordInstall>\screenshot
Screenshots and replays in the client tree. The exact folder varies by publisher build, so browse the install on your machine. Characters never live here.
%LOCALAPPDATA%\KOG\Elsword
Settings in app data on the same machine. Reconfigure in game after reinstalling rather than transplanting files across regions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Elsword to a new PC?
Sign in with the same KOG account on the new install. Characters and progress follow the login on the same region. Local files move screenshots and settings at most, so guard the login instead.
Where are Elsword screenshots and replays?
In the screenshot folder inside the client tree, wherever the build keeps captures. Copy them out before reinstalling, since they share fate with the client. Character data never lives in files.
