Monster
Golden Pig Cave
The Golden Pig Cave has been refurbished as a monster zone in the Land of the Morning Light.
Now, this zone isn't open all the time—it bursts open at random, much like a Field Boss, and you can jump into the action from the Golden Pig Cave area on most servers when it opens.
This isn't your typical monster zone. In the Golden Pig Cave, you'll battle through hordes of monsters and face the final boss, the Golden Pig King. Not only will you earn monster loot, but you might also score a special prize called "Rare Treasures."
"Rare Treasures" serve as a jackpot reward—only one adventurer among those brave enough to enter the Golden Pig Cave will be chosen. As adventurers deposit Rare Treasures into the Golden Pig Statue, one lucky hero is eventually selected to claim them.
Initially, we planned to give adventurers near the Golden Pig Statue a chance as well, but to make it work across all servers, we decided to crown just one lucky winner.
We're always brainstorming new ways to make PvE more enjoyable, and we'll keep coming up with exciting updates to enhance your adventures.
- The Golden Pig Cave monster zone is now open in the Donghae of the Land of the Morning Light.
