Netmarble has rolled out a major update for its free-to-play dark fantasy MMORPG, Raven2, introduces Skill Awakening System, giving players more options to enhance their skills alongside new high-level content. The patch adds the first phase of the Walthar region, new growth systems, and a pair of timed in-game events.
Quick Facts
- New Region: Walthar (Phase 1, designed for Level 85 and higher)
- Hunting Grounds: 9 new hunting grounds spread across two areas
- Growth System: Skill Awakening for unique skills at level +3 or higher
- Required Items: Matching Skill Enhancement Stones and Skill Awakening Stones
- Developer: Netmarble
Exploring the Walthar Region
High-level players finally have a new area to conquer with the arrival of Walthar. Designed specifically for characters at Level 85 and above, this update introduces the first phase of the region, featuring two distinct areas packed with a total of nine hunting grounds. Netmarble plans to open up more of the region over time, but these initial areas offer plenty of ground to cover for now.
How Skill Awakening Works
Beyond map exploration, the Raven2 latest update patch details introduce a brand-new way to push character power further. The Skill Awakening growth system applies to all unique skills in the game, with the sole exception of Heavenstone skills.
To use the system, the target skill must already be at level +3. Players will also need to supply a Skill Enhancement Stone and a Skill Awakening Stone that match the specific grade of the skill they want to upgrade.
In-Game Events and Rewards
To accompany the new patch, Netmarble launched two active events to keep players logging in daily. Bartram's Special 7-Day Mission rewards participants with Essence of the sun upon completing assigned objectives. Meanwhile, Bartram's Special 14-day Check-In hands out a curated selection of rewards simply for logging in consecutive days. Additional events running alongside these two will supply extra growth materials and useful items.
