Karena Added
Karena can be accessed through a teleport rift at the back of the Argent Forest.
The Aitan base Antalya can be found to the right of the rift.

 

Antalya Defense
While in Karena you will see a round gauge. As monsters in Karena are killed this bar fills up.
The gauge takes 12 hours to fill if no monsters are killed. Once full the Zereca from Verus Castle will start invading Antalya in order to destroy the Caelium Cannon.
Defend the Cannon! Parties of powerful monsters will be dropped into the base; you must protect the cannon through 10 waves of monsters or survive 20 minutes.
Assault monsters drop reward boxes, the higher the wave the better the drops.
At the end of the match, a buff will be applied to all Aitan. The number of waves you destroyed determines the level of the buff.
There are also daily quests to kill the boss monster of each wave that award Gold Coins of Elixir.
The invasion has 10 stages. The rewards will increase as you clear more and more stages.

 

Stage ——Buff reward
Stage 1 1% exp bonus and 1% item drop rate bonus for 30 minutes.
Stage 2 3% exp bonus and 2% item drop rate bonus for 30 minutes.

Stage 10 30% exp bonus and 20% item drop rate bonus for 60 minutes.

 

Verus Castle Assault
Below the Antalya Defense Gauge is the Verus Castle Assault Meter. By defending Antalya you can fill up this meter. Once it reaches 100% the Verus Castle Assault will be scheduled. Verus Assualt will take place at 8 PM Server time on weekdays and 7 PM Server time on weekends. The assault starts at the main road just outside Antalya. Don’t let down your guard, as the cannon moves towards the gates of Verus castle, Apos and the other Zereca will try their hardest to stop it. If you manage to successfully escort the cannon you will then be able to breach the gates of Verus castle and take the fight to the Zereca. Take control of the castle to gain access to the Spiral Mine dungeon.

 

Traband Tower Wars 2.0
Tower wars has been reworked to include fun. Relics worth different points will be generated every 3 minutes at the Watch Towers. Run the relics to the Altars surrounding the Eye of Skadi to seal its power. The nation that gains the most points or reaches 100 points first will get access to the Hidden Argent Forest for 16 hours. All other nations will get protection from Skadi’s debuffs depending on the number of points that they turn in so even if you’re not first place you will get bonuses.

 

Fishing
You can learn fishing in the Regenshein Market. Once you’ve learned the fishing skill pick up a rod and some bait and fish in the many fisheries in most major zones. Fisheries are marked on the mini-map.
Fishing levels up at a certain chance depending on fishing success. Max fishing level is 800. As skill level increases, success rate will increase.
(Fishery Skill level represents the recommended level for optimum success rate)

 

How to Mine for Fish:
Put the fishing rod into your weapon slot.
Put your bait into your secondary weapon slot. You are ready to mine for fish.

 

Use the Fishing skill to turn your cursor into a fish. No you haven’t caught one!
Now click in the fishery! The goal is to click the moving float marker when it reached the big fish section of the action bar. The big fish section will appear a few seconds into fishing. You can trade fish into the fishery managers for stat boosting seafood stew.

 

Achievement Quests have been added.
Achievement quests start at level 50 and 70 and award one piece of special achievement gear when completed. When upgraded to high levels achievement gear will rival superior gear in strength and defense.

 

Adult Pran
Once a pran reaches level 50 talk to Theletar Bariel in Regenshein to begin the quest. The Thelelar will need you to craft a Pran Evolution Stone. Once successfully crafted your Pran will undergo a ceremony to reach her final form. Each adult pran will be able to eventually learn two new skills as the level. The skills are based on their elemental type.

 

3 New Dungeons
Ariela – The entrance to this dungeon is located in the North East section of Karena. Take the fight to the corrupted Scinic Warkeni the “lord” of the Sanja. This dungeon has multiple paths to take as you climb to the top of the islands. Brace yourself and your team!

 

Spiral Mine – Apos is at it again. He seeks to excavate the Caelium core that keeps Karena afloat. Gather your allies and prepare to fight your way down to the Zereca Leader and stop his nefarious plans once more. The entrance to this dungeon resides in Verus Castle which must be conquered before it can be accessed. Some of the best items in the game drop from the depths of the Spiral Mine.

 

The Dice Dungeon – An interesting dungeon created to test and reward Aitan that have proven themselves to be fit warriors. Aitan that participate in NvN events will gain Holy Dice. A FULL party of 6 people, each with their own dice, may enter the dungeon and be rewarded. The entrance to this dungeon is in Cirrugor near the skill trainers.

 

Core Augmenting – By collecting Core Augment crystals you can enhance the base strength of your powerful gear. All upgrades are maintained on gear that undergoes the Augmenting process.
