Kazeros Raid: Echidna

434 KB
198 KB
Arriving with South Kurzan is the first Kazeros Raid, an all new set of raids that players will have to conquer in order to someday face Kazeros himself.

82 KB

This is an 8-player Raid with 2 gates featuring new enemies and mechanics. The main enemy is Echidna, who was the Covetous Legion Commander long before Vykas came to power. She was jealous of Brelshaza, Kazeros' favorite. She concocted a plan to use Vykas, a lowly demon then who served Echidna, to sabotage Kazeros' trust towards Brelshaza. However, Vykas saw this as her opportunity to rise, betraying Echidna and taking her place. Ever since Vykas's betrayal, Echidna has been absent from Petrania. After a long time, Echidna reappeared in Arkesia. Prepare to face true desires in the lotus blossoms of Echidna. You’ll be able to challenge Echidna in Normal Mode at Item Level 1620 or in Hard Mode at Item Level 1630. This raid introduces a new mechanic, Allied Forces Skills (a new twist on Sidereal Skills from Legion Raids) where the raid leader can call in a variety of allied NPCs to aid their party in combat. This new Kazeros Raid is a new piece of endgame content alongside existing Legion Raids and Abyss Raids. Along with gold, achievements, titles, trophies, and mounts, the Echidna Kazeros Raid will also include materials for a new progression system, Advanced Honing. Related updates include:

  • Guide Quest Added: Crimson Red Floral Scent of Temptation

  • 21 new achievements

  • 4 new titles

  • 4 new trophies

  • 3 new mounts

  • Codex item information updated accordingly with new in-game loot

  • Echidna Emoticon Pack

  • 2 new Cards: Echidna, Narkiel

  • 2 new Card Book sets: Blind Love, Covetous Day

Allied Forces Skills

  • Major NPCs, including some Sidereals, can be summoned to aid players in combat. Players can get various assists from their allies such as powerful damage, aggro control, and more.

  • Allied Forces Skill meter can be filled by meeting certain conditions throughout the course of the battle.

    • Allied Forces Skill meter can be filled up to 5 slots of their gauge.

  • Players can use one of the Allied Forces Skills when the meter fills more than 3 slots.

    • Certain Allied Forces Skills can be used after meeting a specific requirement.

    • Only raid group leader can use the Allied Forces Skills.

  • Allied NPC uses a powerful Allied Forces Skill when summoned.

  • If the player enters an additional command while the summoned Ally is in combat, the summoned Ally NPC will use their 'Support Skill'.

    • Support Skill can be used once for each Ally summoning.

    • Using the Support Skill will require a single additional Allied Forces Skill slot.

Advanced Honing

92 KB

Advanced Honing is a new progression where gear can be upgraded in Item Level in an all-new way from the materials earned in the Echidna Raid.

To proceed with Advanced honing, the gear must go through 'Tempering' first. Sidereal weapons, along with Upper Ancient gear with item level 1620 and above can be tempered with 'Agris's Scale' (obtainable in Echidna NM), or 'Alcaone's Eye' (obtainable in Echidna HM). By using either of the two materials to temper gear, players can activate Advanced Honing levels 1 - 10. Players can re-temper the gear that reached Advanced Honing level 10 with 'Alcaone's Eye' (obtainable in Echidna HM) which will open level 11 - 20 of Advanced Honing. To reach Advanced Honing level 20, a single gear must be tempered twice. Advanced Honing tempered gear will increase 'Advanced Honing XP'. The amount of XP increased per Advanced Honing try is set, but a 'Great Success' can occur (by chance) and will increase more Advanced Honing XP. Finally, when players try Advance Honing, 'Ancestor's Grace' orb is filled. When 6 'Ancestor's Grace' orbs are full, the next Advanced Honing attempt will activate the Ancestor's Grace to summon the powers of great Umar ancestors. When 'Ancestor's Grace' is in effect, a few useful effects will be bestowed - some of which include:

  • Galatur's Hammer - Advanced Honing XP increased by 5x

  • Ghelar's Sword - Advanced Honing XP increased by 3x

  • Kuhumbar's Anvil - Advanced Honing XP increased by 30 and recharges Ancestor's Grace

  • Temer's Chisel - Advanced Honing XP increased by 10 and required materials and honing cost for the next Advanced Honing is free (excluding optional materials)

With the arrival of the Red Moon, strange events have begun occurring across Arkesia.
