Nightveil Hallow


Greetings, Adventurers!

Shapes in the mist! Shrieks in the night! The demon Baalphazu, Marquis of Terror, and his horde of ghoulish Pumpkinites are spreading a living nightmare across Aeternum. Aid Salvatore the Mad in his quest to banish these foul terrors and collect a bounty of Nightveil Hallow rewards.

Nightveil Hallow returns on October 22 through November 5. Banish the shadowy demon back to the darkness, don unique costumes, and trick-or-treat for unique candy rewards. You can also purchase event-specific items in the Event Shop.

[h3]Costumes[/h3]

Transform into some of your favorite characters, like Captain Thorpe, to celebrate the spooky season. Costumes can be obtained for the duration of the event from town centerpieces and Baalphazu.

Here’s the full selection:
  • Captain Thorpe
  • Adiana
  • Anubian Reaver
  • Lost Monarch

[h3]Trick-or-Treat[/h3]

Once you’re in costume, search each town for hidden Treat Baskets. These have a chance to contain Baalphazu armor pieces (10% chance), 2 Nightveil Tokens (3 times daily), and a unique item—candy. This limited-time consumable comes in 4 flavors. Visit multiple Treat Baskets to discover what surprises linger behind every bite.

Items marked with daily limits will reset at 5 a.m. local time. For example, if a player grabs their third set of Nightveil Tokens from Treat Baskets at 4:58 a.m., they’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 a.m.

[h3]Baalphazu[/h3]
The Level 66 world boss is back with a vengeance. Join large groups of Adventurers to defeat Baalphazu for armor pieces (5 times daily), costumes (3 times daily), and Ichor.


[h3]Quest Reward: Nightveil Hallow Cache[/h3]
Salvatore the Mad can be found at any Cauldron throughout the towns of Aeternum. Bring him Ichor to prove your victory over Baalphazu and finish the Nightveil Hallow questline. Upon completion, you’ll receive the Nightveil Hallow Cache:
  • 5 Nightveil Tokens
  • 2 Random Nightveil Hallow weapon patterns
  • Access to the Nightveil Sentinel section of the Event Shop

[h3]Ichor Exchange: Nightveil Cauldron Cache[/h3]

Collect additional Ichor from Baalphazu to net additional rewards. Salvatore will give you 1 Nightveil Cauldron Cache in exchange for each Ichor. Every cache contains multiple Nightveil Tokens and more:
  • 7-13 Nightveil Tokens
  • 1 Random Nightveil Hallow weapon pattern
  • Coin Bag (3 times daily)
  • 1 White Gypsum

[h3]Event Shop[/h3]

Use your Nightveil Tokens at the Event Shop to purchase Nightveil Hallow rewards. Thwart Baalphazu across the Eternal Island, collect Ichor, collect Nightveil Tokens, and then reap these event-specific spoils:
  • Updated Nightveil Hallow armor/weapon patterns
  • Chromatic Seal
  • Basket of Treats Housing Item
  • Chiroptera’s Cowl (Helm Skin)
  • Druid’s Headdress (Helm Skin)
  • Necromancer’s Crown (Helm Skin)
  • Crone Visage (Helm Skin)
  • Throne of the Hollow (Furniture Item)

We’ll see you in the dark corners of Aeternum.

Despite massive relaunch, New World Aeternum's middling reviews remain unchanged

Everyone loves an underdog, coming from behind to take the spotlight and become all it was promised to be. That's part of why Final Fantasy XIV's relaunch was so successful, because the bones of a great game were always there and in its second incarnation it managed to bring that greatness to the fore. On the other side, sometimes a relaunch fails, with the new version of a title disappearing without trace. In the case of New World Aeternum, however, it looks like its new, retooled version is carrying on in pretty much the same fashion as before, at least in the case of its Steam reviews.

What are the best archetypes in New World Aeternum? This re-branding of Amazon Games' MMORPG into more of a co-op action RPG comes with seven starting classes, or 'archetypes,' to choose from. From the straightforward Soldier to the unique Musketeer, it's a hard choice to begin with - luckily, we've put together a tier list of the best archetypes so you know which one is for you. That said, archetypes are little more than starting weapons and equipment, meaning there's nothing stopping you from investing in other weapons from other archetypes.
