The Western Hiram Mountains has been added to the Auroria map, bordering Reedwind to the north.


This new zone has a Tropical, Subarctic and Arid climate and follows a 10min conflict period, followed by 50min of war and then cycling into 60min of peace. During war, the Loot and Gold Drop Rates are increased to 130%.

The Western Hiram Mountains feature a variety of new monsters, of which the majority are Ancestral Level 7.
These monsters drop Ancestor’s Coinpurses and Ancestral Crates, as well as Radiant Hiram Awakening Scrolls, used to awaken your T3 Hiram Guardian Equipment. Included in their drop tables are also Mysterious Hiram Infusions, which can be identified using up to 50 Labor and can contain Hiram Infusions of grade Rare (300 XP), Arcane (400 XP) or Heroic (700 XP).

Also featured in this zone are new mining nodes called “Mysterious Mineral”, which can be mined to obtain Copper, Silver and Gold Ore, but also have a chance to drop the new Lunar and Solar Tempers, as well as Radiant Hiram Awakening Scrolls and Mysterious Hiram Infusions.

While adventuring in this zone, players can also gain temporary buffs from aiding Wounded Hiram Owls and Injured Owlinas, giving Serpent Abominations their final rest and destroying Cube Shards that omit an ominous energy. The buffs don’t stack and fall off, as soon as the player leaves the zone.​

The following buffs can be gained:

• Injured Owlinas - Attack Speed +50%, Cast Time -5%, Move Speed +5%.

Pirates can head straight over and record the 3 new teleport locations in their books, for convenient access later. Talking about Pirates – all 3 camp areas have an aura of protection, similar to the protection aura at Trade Outlets, that block PvP and therefore there’s no pesky Guards that try to attack you.

Craft System​

Brilliant Hiram Guardian Equipment
The 3rd tier of Hiram gear has been added: the Brilliant Hiram Guardian equipment.
This tier of equipment sits between Ayanad and Erenor in terms of strength, and is obtained by awakening Divine Radiant Hiram Guardian equipment with Radiant Hiram Awakening Scrolls. These scrolls can be farmed from mobs in the Western Hiram Mountains, and gained as a reward for completing 3 newly added daily quests.

Each attempt to awaken your equipment requires 25 Radiant Hiram Awakening Scrolls, which provide a 10% base chance of success, and add an additional 5% chance of success for each failed attempt. Radiant Runescribe Quills, available for 600 Prestige on the Guild Shop, can be combined with 100 Radiant Hiram Awakening Scrolls to create 1 Blessed Hiram Awakening Scroll. Each attempt to awakening your equipment requires 1 Blessed Hiram Awakening Scroll, which provides a 25% base chance of success, and adds an additional 10% chance of success for each failed attempt.

Blessed Hiram Awakening Scrolls have the additional benefit of protecting your Tempering Points. Equipment with Tempering Points of +20 or higher, have a chance to lose up to 2 points on a successful awakening attempt, but using a Blessed Hiram Awakening Scroll, will preserve your full Tempering Points. Important to note, is that the Tempering Points will never drop below +20, in case of a loss due to using the regular Radiant Hiram Awakening Scrolls.

When awakening your T3 Hiram gear, your socketed Lunagems and Lunafrosts are preserved, and experience invested into the Divine tier carries over. Synthesis stats, applied image items and tempering points will be preserved and carry over as well.
Brilliant Hiram Guardian Equipment can be synthesized to grade Epic and starts out at grade Unique immediately after successfully awakening it.

Awakening World Boss Equipment

The recipes to upcraft the following items have been removed. Instead, World Boss specific Awakening Scrolls can be crafted at any Proven Warrior Workbench, and used to unlock the second tier.

• Cold Anguish
• Searing Oath
• Arcadian Sea Pillager
• Enraged Red Dragon Tail-Reaper
• Enraged Red Dragon Wing-Reaper
• Enraged Red Dragon Eyesplitter
• Enraged Red Dragon Fireguard.

World Boss Equipment Synthesis

• The synthesis system is applied to the majority of World Boss gear.
• To level World Boss gear that falls under the synthesis system, any other World Boss gear can be fed into it, or crafted gear of the same grade or higher. Equipment that does not fall under the synthesis system can be regraded to improve.
• Can't be upgraded: Searing Oath, Cold Anguish, Sweet Sorrow, Mermaid's Breath, Forsaken Pirate Necklace / Earring / Ring, Storm Caller's Hoop, Titan's Chain.
• Regrading: Reckless Captain's Set, Tough Gatekeeper's Set, Grimghast Set, Forsaken Pirate Set, Forsaken Sailor Set.
• Synthesis: Meina's Set, Glenn's Set, Jola's Eternal Grudge, Corrupted Kyrios Set, Kraken weapons, Vyrava Weapons, Frozen Anguish, Burning Pledge, Red Dragon Weapons, Leviathan Set, Thunderwing Titan Equipment.

Erenor Synthesis Changes

• Crafted gear, excluding the Erenor tier, Obsidian Equipment and Erenor Infusions can be used as synthesis materials to level your Erenor equipment.
• World Boss gear of grade Arcane or higher can be salvaged into Erenor Infusions using an Evenstone.
• Each gear set grants the following Infusions:
• Clear Erenor Infusion: Riesig (Forsaken Pirate, Mermaid's Breath), Nazar (Forsaken Sailor), Harrod (Tough Gatekeeper), T1 Morpheus (Searing Oath), T1 Rangora (Cold Anguish), Sweet Sorrow, Hound of Kyrios (Reckless Captain), Nightmare Blade (Grimghast).
• Vivid Erenor Infusion: Meina, Glenn, Jola.
• Lucid Erenor Infusion: T2 Morpheus (Burning Pledge), T2 Rangora (Frozen Anguish), Anthalon (Corrupted Kyrios), T1 Vyrava (Acid Spitfire), T1 Kraken (Arcadian Sea).
• Radiant Erenor Infusion: T2 Vyrava (Destructive Grudge), T2 Kraken (Bleak Arcadian), T1 Red Dragon (Enraged Red Dragon).
• Resplendent Erenor Infusion: T2 Red Dragon (Berserk Red Dragon), Leviathan (Hermit), Thunderwing Titan, Kraken (Storm Caller's Hoop).

The grade and type of Erenor Infusion defines how much synthesis XP it is worth:

Cloak Changes and Awakening

The “Flaming” subtypes of cloaks are no longer obtainable in game. Instead the two will be combined into the same cloak. Delphinad and Ayanad cloaks can have 1 stat from group 1 and 3 stats from group 2 at the same time. Cloaks obtained before the update will keep their current stats, but can be cloaked using a Transmuter to obtain any of the new cloaks. Cryptic Lucky Scrolls can now be used to reroll stats on Delphinad cloaks as well.

The acquisition method of the Delphinad and Ayanad tier cloaks has been adjusted as well:

• Divine Epherium Cloaks can be awakened to the Delphinad tier using an Epherium Cloak Awakening Scroll, craftable at any Proven Warriors Workbench.
• Epherium Cloak Awakening Scrolls have a 25% base chance of success and add an additional 5% chance of success for each failed attempt. A failed awakening attempt can also result in crystallization, which can be reversed using a Decrystallization Scroll, available on the Honor Shop for 10,000 honor.
• Epic Delphinad Cloaks can be awakened to the Ayanad tier using a Delphinad Cloak Awakening Scroll.
• Delphinad Cloak Awakening Scrolls also have a 25% base chance of success and add an additional 5% chance of success for each failed attempt. A failed awakening attempt can also result in crystallization, which can be reversed using a Decrystallization Scroll.

Discontinued Obsidian Equipment

All crafting recipes for Obsidian equipment will be removed. This means that existing Obsidian items will remain in the world, but they can no longer be upcrafted to higher tiers or created.
Remaining Obsidian items can still be gemmed, regraded and tempered.

Using a Hiram Conversion Rune, crafted at the Mirage Salvage Forge for 1 Stone Brick, allows to convert existing Obsidian equipment into Hiram Infusions. Each Hiram Infusion is worth 1,000 Synthesis XP and the amount of infusions granted depends on the Obsidian item’s tier, slot and grade.

Using an Erenor Conversion Rune, crafted at the Mirage Salvage Forge for 1 Stone Brick, allows to convert existing T2, T3 and T4 Obsidian equipment of grade Celestial or higher into Erenor Infusions. Each Erenor Infusion is worth 100 Synthesis XP and is tradeable as long as it’s sealed. The amount of infusions granted depends on the Obsidian item’s tier, slot and grade.
The Erenor Infusions will maintain the grade of the item when converted, and can only be fed into Erenor gear of the same rarity or lower.

The following items used to craft Obsidian equipment will no longer be obtainable in game. Remaining items can be sold to a merchant:

• Mercury Solution
• Renaia’s Research Journal
• Philosopher’s Stone Fragment
• Kadum’s Bark
• Spellshift Orb

 

[Crysanium]

Tempering Changes

The new tempering system allows the stats of armor and weapons to be improved to a maximum of +30 Tempering Points, which is equivalent to 125%.
Each Tempering Point from +1 to +20 increases the stats by +1%.
Each Tempering Point from +21 to +30 increases the stats by +0.5%.
Old tempering items will no longer be obtainable in game, but remaining items can be converted into relevant items or back into the originally invested cost.​

• Solar and Lunar Tempers cost 200 Labor and a specified amount of gold per tempering attempt, adding a +1 Tempering Point increase, in case of a success. Items with Tempering Points of +18 or higher have a chance to lose up to -1 Tempering Points per failed attempt. The equipment under no circumstances has a chance of destruction or crystallization due to a failed tempering attempt.
• Resplendent Solar and Lunar Tempers can be crafted on Regal Alchemy Tables, using 10 normal Tempers and a Lucky Point to create 2 Resplendent Tempers.
• Resplendent Tempers have a chance to get a great success on a tempering attempt, resulting in a +2 Tempering Point increase.
• Tempering Crystals can be added for each attempt to increase the chance of success by 1.5.
• Resplendent Tempering Crystals increase the chance of success by x2.
• Any tempered equipment pre-5.0 will carry over to the new system. Items with 2 tempering stats will carry over the higher percentage of the two.

• The amount of Specialties turned in to a Trade Outlet now directly influences the price Cargo is sold at, but Cargo itself is always available for purchase.
• The 4 different pricing ranges for Cargo are Abundant (Cargo costs 14g), Normal (Cargo costs 18g), Insufficient (Cargo costs 22g) and Limited (Cargo costs 26g).
• Due to the changes to Cargo, the family mission “Trade for Goods” has been adjusted. The quest “Cargo Delivery” offered by Cargo Sellers at the Trade Outlet has to be completed, which asks to deliver a Nuian Cargo to Solis Headlands, or Haranyan Cargo to Two Crowns. The reward for completing this quest is still 20 Charcoal Stabilizers.
• To assist people in completing this task, the Cargo Ship that runs between Two Crowns and Solis Headlands remains. The Cargo Ship that used to run from Solzreed Peninsula to Ynystere is removed.
• Completing the entire collection will reward the title “Skywarden” and the Andelph Drakora mount.
