You will get different rewards depending on the difficulty level, points remaining, and whether or not you survived until the end.

The results of this Event Arena will end in a draw for all participants, and the quest and reward will be distributed through the event NPC who appears after the game ends.

You can get the reward only 1 time through the Daily Quest (but no entry restrictions).

If you're not happy with your results, you can just leave the instance and challenge it again without accepting your reward.

Patch Notes - April 27, 2023

Patch Notes

[h2]Content Updates[/h2]
  • The skillset icons will now appear in the same order for everyone.
    • The skillset icons used to appear in the order each adventurer selected, so it would appear in a different order even for identical classes. Due to the feedback about this making it difficult to check each other's class, the skillset icons will now all appear in the following order.
    • Auramancy > Archery > Shadowplay > Songcraft > Spelldance > Sorcery > Gunslinger > Vitalism > Witchcraft > Malediction > Battlerage > Occultism > Swiftblade > Defense
  • Increased the max stack number for the items below.
    • Increased the max stacks of Star Wings and Flaming Pinion from 100 to 1,000 stacks.
    • Increased the max stacks of Auroran Synthesis Box and Auroran Synthesis Stone Crate from 1 to 1,000 stacks.
    • We will continue to monitor and improve the max stack count for items.
  • We've restricted the use of teleport scrolls near the entrance of the Gate to the Garden.

Patch Notes - April 20, 2023


[h2]Content Updates[/h2]
  • Improved the location and the pop-up notification for the Workshop Employee in the territory.
    • Because "Workshop Employee" was standing too close to "Workshop Manager," interacting with the latter NPC to accept the "Supplies" daily quests in the territory would cause you to exchange your Territory Coins for Enhancers by mistake. To improve upon this inconvenience, we've made the following adjustments:
    •  "Workshop Employee" will now be located next to "Territory Resource Workbench."
    •  The pop-up notification text that appears when interacting with "Workshop Employee" was changed from [Deliver Territory Coins] to [Use Territory Coin and Receive Supplies].
  • Changed the distance that you have to travel to return to your original location upon using Sorcery - Magic Circle, Swiftblade - Blink to 30m as maximum.
  • Added a description in the tooltip for the buff effects that are obtained from some Powerstone Pet skills saying that this buff can't be used while the pet is resting. 
  • Removed the restrictions for the below content in [Melisara & Gene] servers.
    • Equipment: Immortal Warden Equipment
    • Region: Mysthrane Gorge
    • World Boss: Nehliya, Queen of Annihilation
    • Dungeon: Ipnysh Sanctuary, Black Thorn Prison
    • Arena: Drill Camp Arena, Sparring Arena, Gladiator Arena, Free-For-All Arena
    • Design: Elite Awakening Scroll, Improved Elite Awakening Scroll, Immortal Warden Awakening Scroll, Improved Immortal Warden Awakening Scroll 
    • Dungeon and Arena matchmaking will be server-independent before any separate notice is announced.
[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed the issue where buff effects remained when entering/exiting the Mirage Isle upon using Powerstone Pet skills. 
  • Fixed the issue where buff effects remained when restarting the game upon using Powerstone Pet skills.
  • Fixed the wrong information in the tooltip for the buff effects that can be obtained from using casual Powerstone Pet skills.

Patch Notes - April 13, 2023


[h2]Content Updates[/h2]
  • Combined Story Quest Infusion: Rank 1–3. 
    • We have combined "Story Quest Infusions" as the different ranks caused issues such as the difficulty of learning about the ranks in the early stages or the insufficient bag space. You can now use this item without any rank distinction up to Hiram Guardian equipment (before awakening).
    • You can use the "Story Quest Infusions" that you already own, but you won't be able to acquire those anymore. Now, you can acquire the new "Story Quest Infusion."
    • Story Quest Infusions can be obtained through race quests or Marketplace purchases.
  • Made adjustments so that the "Sea's Protection" buff is applied when the first Kraken is spawned.
    •  "Kraken" is randomly spawned in two locations, and players, depending on the number of participants, prepare this raid by dividing the available force into those two locations or by focusing the force on one location. However, a faction that opts for the latter case can be at a disadvantage if Kraken is spawned in the other location.
    • To mitigate this issue, we have adjusted the "Sea's Protection" buff effect to be applied for a certain period of time when the relevant raid monster is spawned for the first time.
      • "Sea's Protection" buff effect
      • Siege Damage -50% for 5 min
      • If you return when the "Sea's Protection" buff is expired, the buff will not be recovered.
      • If you return when the "Sea's Protection" buff is active, the buff duration will remain.
  • Mitigated the issue where you could easily complete a weekly quest of Ipnya Ridge in a certain situation.
    • Upon completing the race quest Erenor Chapter 3. Ipnya Ridge - 33. "The Voidbreaker," players would enter the single player dungeon Queen's Altar, obtain a powerful buff from "Timbo," and defeat the monsters from this dungeon that are relevant for the weekly quest to easily complete this quest. In order to mitigate this issue, we have excluded those monsters from the quest targets.
  • Adjusted Warlock Erik's spawn time.
    •  Although players must defeat "Warlock Erik" for the "Anthalon's Invasion" race quest, because the spawn time of this NPC is too long, it was difficult to complete the quest when there were too many participants. Hence we have adjusted his spawn time as below.
      •  Warlock Erik's Spawn Time: 205 sec > 30 sec
  • Adjusted the territory and the population density of "Brown Thorn Hedgehogs" around the Statue of Nui located in the lower region of "Plains Eye" in the "Great Prairie of the West" as there were too many of them.
  • Changed the target range of Spelldance - Dance of Calm from friendly target (excluding self) to Raid Members (excluding self).

 
[h2]Event[/h2]
  • Mistsong Banquet event dungeon has started. 
    • Event Period: April 13 (after maintenance)–May 4 (before maintenance)
    • Mistsong Banquet is a dungeon in which players of at least Lv30 can freely participate without any equipment point or role restrictions. Go to [Instance] - [Dungeon] menu to enter.
    • Each of 3 participants must take charge of a way that leads to Ominous Worldgate and stop Lethy's minions.
    • You can exchange the "Mistsong Guardian Soulstones" you have obtained in the Area for various items at the "Mistsong Gift Exchanger" in Mirage Isle.
    • Please visit the Event page for more information.
  • Double the Gain event has started. 
    • Event Period: April 13 (after maintenance)–May 11 (before maintenance)
    • Your XP, Quest Honor Points, and Vocation Badges earned will be doubled during the event period (Fri–Sun).
    • A separate Double the Gain event is being held on [Dahuta & Shatigon] servers, so this event does not apply to them.
[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
  • Fixed the issue where Powerstone Pet Ellam was sometimes desummoned.
  • Fixed the issue where incorrect color was displayed for a dyed Doctor Healgood costume.
  • Fixed the issue where using certain Coinpurses while the bag is full only consumed Labor.
  • Fixed the issue where a currently unavailable item appeared in the Auction House search box as an autocomplete word. 
  • Fixed the issue where "Adventurer Growth" ArchePass did not expire.
