Sea Crystal Stat Adjustments & Ebenruth’s Ocean Tear Nol – Jan 2025 update.

As a PvP honor reward, the Black Dragon "Harbinger of Doom," will be added.

“A battleground where death doesn't stop your challenges.”

and “a place where defeating monsters can lead to powerful gear and unexpected outcomes.” 

In the Hardcore Server, your top priority is to accumulate Survival Points by defeating

other Adventurers or monsters within the 2 hours you are given per day.

You can revive at random locations for unlimited times within the 2 hours to continue your challenge, and you can leave through one of the four sanctums located in the desert.

However, you will not be able to enter again regardless of how much time you had left.

Bosses like Puturum and Laytenn can randomly appear at any location, and defeating them

will grant you a large amount of Survival Points.

All participants in the Hardcore Server are considered to be your enemies,

so even if you use other means of communication, playing together will not be beneficial.

You can obtain exclusive gear as loot here, and some have incredible power,

allowing you to get a taste of being a slayer.

The final chapter of Atoraxxion, the stronghold of Ancient secrets, is coming soon.

Orzekea will be more approachable for “boss-run” focused Adventurers, turning “trash mob areas” into private monster zones. This change will also be applied to the other biomes (Vahmalkea, Sycrakea, Yolunakea) at a later date.

Designed with a lightning motif, the new Dream Horse “Voltarion” features a mane and tail wrapped in lightning. Its pupils are calm yet majestic, akin to the eye of a hurricane.
