Mistsong Banquet

Though Lethy offered up her own soul to summon Taris, the adventurers were able to deal with the situation.

Seeking revenge, Lethy plans a way to turn the tables by using the Worldgate leading to Mistsong Summit.

 

Her plan is to seize the Worldgate and march forward and annihilate the Crimson Watch!

By the power of Anthalon, Lethy created her own space in Mistsong Summit and recruited and trained her own guards.

 

The Crimson Watch hear about this through word within Mistsong Summit,

and install a Guardian Statue at the Worldgate opened within Mistsong Summit. The plan is to stop Lethy's guards from going through the gate.

Lethy realizes this, and gathers up her forces to destroy the statue, and the Crimson Watch begin recruiting those who will help thwart her forces.

You must protect the Guardian Statue and stop Lethy's forces from entering into the world.

Patch Notes - April 6, 2023

Patch Notes
[h2]Content Updates[/h2]
  • Fixed the issue where NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants while on a daily/weekly quest in Eastern/Western Hiram Mountains.
    • We have fixed the rendering issue where quest start/completion NPCs would disappear when there were too many participants while on a daily/weekly quest in Eastern/Western Hiram Mountains. Affected NPCs are as below:
      • Eastern Hiram Mountains
        • Hall of Warriors: [Advance Party Leader] Lewia
        • Black Forest Camp: [Forest Scout Leader] Soboron
        • Amaitan Meadows Camp: [Meadows Scout Leader] Yagov
        • Waterfall Stairs Camp: [Waterfall Scout Leader] Isora
      • Western Hiram Mountains
        • Illusion Cave: [Crimson Watch] Laugo
        • Hiram Cave: [Crimson Watch] Encio

 
  • Adjusted the schedule of "Lusca Awakening."
    • We have restored the Wednesday/Friday schedule of "Lusca Awakening" that was removed due to a schedule overlap issue and adjusted it as below so that it doesn't overlap with the schedule of "Guardian Scramble" when updating the latter content:
      • Sunday–Thursday: CEST 21:00, PDT 19:00
      • Friday–Saturday: CEST 22:00, PDT 20:00
    • We have changed the raid recruitment description given the Lusca Awakening schedule changes.

 
  • Adjusted the color of some grounds in Karkasse Ridgelands.
    • We have received feedback that optimizing the graphics to improve performance when there were too many participants in Red Dragon's Keep, which is the Black Dragon raid's main conflict zone in Karkasse Ridgelands, would make it difficult to distinguish water surfaces from the ground. Hence we have adjusted the color of the cliff that is close to water surface and made it brighter.

 
  • Changed the basic benefit for new characters.
    • Before: Passionate Leap
    • Now: Great Inheritor Welcome Chest

 
  • Changed the basic benefit for returning accounts.
    • Before: Locked Homecoming Warrior Supply Bundle
