Preview: Perilous Instances and More

Face some tricky challenges in a brand-new dungeon system: you’ll have **more dungeon entries** available to you, including for especially **demanding instances**, and there’s **new NPC costumes and partners** to enjoy among your hard-earned loot. In addition, the **trading card system** is getting a makeover. All of this and much more is packed into patch 101—the last patch of 2020.

[h2] New Difficulty Levels for Dungeons[/h2]

In the future, the new dungeon system will allow you to adjust the difficulty of existing dungeons just to your liking. The first instances you’ll be able to try out this new feature on are the Akalath Quarantine, the Draakon Arena, the Red Refuge, and Velik’s Sanctuary.
To adjust a dungeon’s difficulty, simply head to the teleportal of your chosen instance and click the “Play Dungeon” button. A new menu will then appear where you can select the desired difficulty level—and the recommended item level will be conveniently displayed at the same time.
Remember that while you can enjoy increased drop rates in tougher dungeons, entering them also costs more Adventure Coins.

[h2]Improved Trading Card System[/h2]

Your card album’s also getting a makeover: now not only can you collect lots of great new cards, but you can also find a completely new type of trading card—rare (blue) ones!
What’s more, in the future you’ll no longer be frustrated by duplicates of cards you already own: With the Card Fragment Fusion feature, you can combine 4 existing card fragments into a new one. Do so and you’ll receive either a card fragment of the same grade, or with a bit of luck you could even come away with a higher-grade card fragment!

[h2] New Costumes and Partners[/h2]

Just like in the summer with Hagufna’s Body Armor, in patch 101 you can once again get your hands on a costume belonging to a powerful boss: Lakan’s Evil God Armor Set! Collect tokens for this armor by completing daily quests—or get lucky and snarf his weapon (for lancers) and cloak as loot in Velik’s Sanctuary!
You can now also acquire Kalligar as a partner in the Draakon Arena, who also has a powerful special effect!

All of this and much more is coming your way in patch 101!

Have fun!
