Eternal Winter Expansion - Coming April 6th, 2022
[previewyoutube="uxMOBJDWj3Q;full"]
MOUNTAIN OF ETERNAL WINTER
Located south of Drieghan, the Mountain of Eternal Winter is a land covered by continual snowfall. Ascending its peaks is a treacherous feat as the snowstorms will only grow fiercer the higher you climb. In such an environment of perpetual winter, you’ll need to watch out for Frostbite: a debuff that will slowly drain your health points if you fail to warm yourself up.
This region is where stories and legends of Labreska, the golden dragon, were first shared by the people. Although many of the mountain's inhabitants live in small camps spanning its rugged terrain, the central village of this region is a place called Eilton.
New Monster Zones
MURROWAK'S LABYRINTH
Murrowak's Labyrinth was once a rich and plentiful iron mine, but now, it is overrun by Queen Vercedes and her loyal legion of Murrowaks.
New Monster Zones
JADE STARLIGHT FOREST
The Okjinsini, who were said to be born from the tears of Labreska, call the Jade Starlight Forest their land. It seems that something has recently caused the Okjinsini to behave differently from before.
New Monster Zones
EREBJORK, THE DREADWINTER GUARDIAN
Erebjork, the Dreadwinter Guardian, is a being that can be encountered on the Mountain of Eternal Winter. Be on the lookout if you ever find yourself in a blizzard as it forewarns her appearance...
New Monster Zones
WINTER TREE FOSSILS
Dotting the landscape of the Mountain of Eternal Winter are these strangely beautiful-looking Winter Tree Fossils. It is said that interacting with these trees will bring forth spirits consumed by unknown darkness.
New Item
LABRESKA’S HELMET
Labreska’s Helmet is an item equal in status to the Fallen God’s Armor, and the Mountain of Eternal Winter is where you can obtain its key crafting material, the Flame of Frost.
The Mountain of Eternal Winter awaits you. Will you overcome its trials? Prepare yourself with the limited-edition Eternal Winter Edition and acquire an exclusive outfit, pet, & more!
