New Areas
Theobomos (Elyos)
Stories have been passed down through the years about statues of Empyrean Lords carved on cliffs and temple pillars in Elysea. This legendary area has been recently rediscovered and adventurers are now making their way to Theobomos. The Dragon Lords scourged the land with a most unholy fire—the landscape burns even now! You must assist Daevas dispatched to put out fires or help them contain the consuming flames.
You and your friends can also help Shugos who stumbled into considerable danger while excavating for ancient treasures. Conquer the dangers and see what treasures may be yours.
Does the Theobomos Secret Research Center hold the clues necessary to unlock an ancient weapon? Explore this new instance and find out!
Brusthonin (Asmodian)
Vritra’s unholy curse struck Brusthonin and slew the entire populace. More terrifying was the awful moment they awoke to undeath. Holy trees were planted in the Aetheric Field to purify the afflicted region, and adventurers fight to counter the contamination in the surrounding area. Some areas resist the blight, bolstered by hearty Ginseng. Skurvs want that Ginseng, but something is keeping them at bay.
Travel within Brusthonin is available through the North Gateway of Havenjark Cemetery in Brusthonin. An aerial route connecting Baltasar Hill Village and BuBu Village at the Brusthonin’s Settlers’ Campsite has also been added.
The Adma Stronghold instance is also located in Brusthonin. Explore the dark mysteries and corruption in its ancient halls.
Instances
A number of new and varied instances are opening their once tightly-sealed doors.
The newly-added dungeons are filled with new mysteries and pose different challenges. For great rewards, lots of Abyss points, and fun with friends, embark on a dungeon crawl!
Dark Poeta: Asmodae and Elysea have a new battlefront against the Balaur
In the past, the Elyos destroyed the Abyss Gate in Poeta. The scheming Balaur launched countless assaults until the gate was reopened—at a price. The gate opened into a future Poeta, with a new timeline. The Balaur poured through and subjugated the region. Daevas fight to foil ruthless Balaur plots in the ruins of Dark Poeta. Will you join their fight?
To access Dark Poeta, you must be level 50, and have acquired certain items through quests. Leah in Sanctum and Heimdall in Pandaemonium will start you on your journey. The Temporal Stone, an entry item, can be acquired through Maloren in Heiron, Hresvelgr in Beluslan, as well as Suirng**, located in the Eye of Reshanta, at the deepest layer of the Abyss.
Elyos Dark Poeta entry quests:
Asmodian Dark Poeta entry quests:
Enter the instance through the artifact devices located in the Black Tears Swamp in Heiron or Beluslan’s Hoarfrost Shelter.
In Dark Poeta, you can acquire Abyss Points by defeating monsters or collecting rare items, and you can obtain even more points by destroying nearby objects or defeating the stationed boss monsters.
In order to obtain a higher score within the time limit, you can fight a boss monster on a considerably higher difficulty level. (But if the dungeon invasion is unsuccessful, you cannot encounter this boss monster.) Your group can only enter the boss’s lair through the Asmodian’s Gate of Dimension** for only five minutes after the final score is shown. The monster will disappear if not attacked soon after you enter the lair. The higher the level of difficulty of the boss monster, the better the items you will acquire.
Dark Poeta can be entered once every 12 hours.
Contested Lands – The Dredgion
In the Dredgion, the Balaur amass their battle might, determined to conquer the Abyss. The Elyos and Asmodians can both enter the area and engage in fierce battles to neutralize this threat. They can even enter simultaneously and compete in the PvPvE dungeon!
Infiltrate the Dredgion’s interior and destroy as many energy cells as possible. The ultimate goal is the death of the Dredgion’s captain, but not knowing when and where the next attack will come from will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The Dredgion can only be entered at specific times by requesting entry through the NPC. During the available hours for entry request, an entry request button along with a system message will show at the upper right hand corner of the screen for all characters able to enter. You can enter as an individual, group, or quickly access a new or existing instance in progress. Elyos and Asmodians may enter only when the necessary number of people have registered, which may cause a brief delay.
The invasion ends when you defeat the boss or when the allotted time passes. At that time, the individual points are added, and the faction with the higher total score is victorious. Abyss points are given according to the number of points acquired, and the victorious camp receives bonus Abyss points. In addition to acquiring Abyss points, you can also obtain items by defeating the special boss monsters that appear at random.
The Steel Rake
After the Cataclysm, the Abyss formed and everything changed. Within that vastness, some Shugos became more aggressive– warriors rather than merchants. They call themselves Shulacks. A particularly fierce band of Shulacks formed the Steel Rake Pirates and call the pirate ship Steel Rake home. Enjoy new adventures in this instance with a rescue operation, espionage, and more!
This is a party instance where up to six people in the group can enter at a time, every six hours. Only characters above level 40 may enter after completing an entry quest.
Elyos Steel Rake entry quest:
Asmodian Steel Rake entry quest:
Many different paths through the instance exist, and the difficulty changes depending on the path you select.
Abyss Fortress Dungeons
The three fortresses located in the lower level of the Abyss (Sulfur Fortress, Siel’s Western Fortress, and Siel’s Eastern Fortress) and the five fortresses located in the upper level (Asteria Fortress, Ruins of Roah Fortress, Krotan Refuge, Kysis Fortress, Miren Fortress) all contain dungeons ready to be explored. There are numerous quests available in these fortress dungeons, making the fortress wars even more important—and rewarding.
The faction that controls the fortress can go in through the entry point deep within the fortress. Only the race that controls the fortress may enter.
An entry quest must be completed to access these instances.
Elyos entry quest:
Asmodian entry quest:
Each instance contains many treasure chests, and the goal is to acquire the most treasure chests within the time limits.
The difficulty of the monsters that appear in the instance vary by fortress, and after a set amount of time, the treasure chests can disappear one at a time or all at once.
Nochsana Training Camp
Nochsana Training Camp is a dungeon for characters new to the Abyss, not unlike tutorial for the Abyss fortress wars. You must be level 25-28 to enter, and each race has an entrance at the Abyss bind point.
Earn the right to enter by completing a quest, and you may enter every 18 hours.
Check the re-entry time by typing /checkentry.
CharactersRepose
Repose
When a character higher than level 20 is logged out of the game, they gain the energy of Repose – and earn an extra 20-30% experience when killing monsters and enemy faction members! It takes two days to rest up to 100%.
Repose is applied when killing monsters or defeating characters of the opposite faction. An icon in the top right corner of the screen shows when your character has this energy stored.
Titles
Several new titles have been added. These new titles are earned by completing new level 40-50 quests.
Increased PvPvE Rewards
Players now receive a penalty when killing players of the opposite faction in that faction’s territory. A Curse (Stage 1) or Heaven’s Judgment (Stage 2) befalls your character; the severity depends on the number of players killed. These penalties are applied more quickly when killing a lower level player than you.
A Curse prevents entry into the Abyss. Heaven’s Judgment also prevents entering the rifts as well as the use of a Kisk’s resurrection in the opposite faction’s territory.
For the Elyos, the penalties are known as Azphel’s Curse or Heaven’s Judgment of Azphel; Asmodians suffer from Ariel’s Curse or Heaven’s Judgment of Ariel.
Players afflicted with these penalties are exposed on the map to players of the opposite faction when in their territory. These intruders cannot completely hide.
Afflicted players are marked with the title of either Cursed Intruder or Heavenly Judged Intruder.
Players who kill these Intruders who have invaded their territory will receive a reward. A buff is granted to twelve players who are near a corpse of a slain Intruder, depending on their contribution of killing the player. When the Intruder is killed, a message informs all players in the area.
The Curse or Heaven’s Judgment is lifted when the Intruder returns to the Abyss or his or her own faction’s territory for a certain amount of time.
Greater Stigma Slots
With the newly added Greater Stigma Stone, a Greater Stigma slot has also been added. Up to three Greater Stigma slots can be obtained through quests. This new Stigma slot can hold both ordinary Stigma stones and Greater Stigma stones. (The regular Stigma slot cannot hold a Greater Stigma stone.)
Greater Stigma stones can only be equipped when all prerequisite skills have been acquired by equipping the requisite Stigma stones. Greater Stigmas can be purchased with AP (Abyss Points) from the NPC in the main cities and the Abyss.
Other Character Changes
Small amounts of experience can now be gained through combat with the opposite faction.
For maintaining balance among the classes, some debuff manastone activation effects have been adjusted. When weapons are equipped in both hands, the left hand weapon’s debuff manastone trigger rate now activates at a lower rate than before. This does not apply to bleed or poison effect manastones.
To protect from the illegal acquisition of experience and Abyss Points (AP) through party play, the distribution method among party members has been changed. When an individual was killed or logged out, the total experience/AP/DP was divided among the remaining party members. But now the damage contributed by that character is deducted from experience/AP/DP and distributed among the party members.
The damage inflicted on a character from another character’s attack has been decreased.
Interrupting skills in progress through moving, jumping, etc., no longer allows those skill’s combo chains to activate.
New emotes Meditation and Prayer were added. These new emotes can be purchased from the Daeva NPC of the acting acts* at each city.
Skills
Level 46-50 skills are now available, including new skills and higher levels of existing skills. Elyos may purchase the new skill books at the Protectors Hall in Sanctum. Asmodians will find them at the National Assembly Building in Pandaemonium.
Level 45 Stigma Stones can no longer be acquired. Existing Level 45 Stigma Stones have been renamed as Ancient Stigma. New level 50 skills with the same effect as Ancient Stigma skills that you were able to gain at level 45 are now available through each class’s masters. The names of each skill are the same as Ancient Stigma skill names that are gained at level 45.
