Greetings, Soulkeepers!
Nerodin continues to stir with new and mysterious power. Granil has uncovered a new trove of Soulstones, and Luna, the Moon Queen, haunts the halls of the ruins.
The power of Nerodin can't stay contained within its walls, however. New challengers await in the Arena of Ordeals, and Aegis the blacksmith can now upgrade your Conqueror's gear to become stronger than ever.
Nerodin Lunacy
Perhaps it's because of the limited time Soulkeepers can remain there, but for some reason, new treasures keep popping up in the Nerodin Ruins.
But that holds for its permanent residents as well In particular, the demonic Granil, who's empowered itself with a stash of powerful Soulstones. Granil is now stronger than ever, with random variations in its skill deployment. Once defeated, the demon won't be able to reincorporate itself for four hours, and you have a chance to receive +6 Rare Soulstones of Devastation, +5 Epic Soulstones of Horror, and +3 Legendary Soulstones of Terror from your victory, in lieu of the demon's usual hoard.
ESTUANS INTERIUS
IRA VEHEMENTI
The reason that Granil was able to uncover this new treasure may be related to the haunting of Nerodin by Moon Queen Luna, a powerful spirit who descends from the sky every few centuries to test the strength of mortal champions. She wanders Nerodin aimlessly, and may be found in multiple locations, reappearing 15 minutes after being killed. Speak with Popo in Ignea, and you'll be tasked with Luna's defeat. (On the other hand, Granil's respawn time has been increased to 4 hours.)
I might be wrong
I could have sworn I saw a light coming on
The first time you participate in slaying Luna each day, you'll receive a Mistilteinn Box from your Daily Missions. When you complete Popo's quest five times, you'll receive the classic Flower Crown, available again after a long absence.
I'M A PRETTY PRINCESS
Arena of Ordeal V
If all the chaos in Nerodin is still leaving you with a taste for more carnage, the fifth circle of the Arena of Ordeal is now open to challengers. The Promethean Giant awaits you in the squared circle, and the tag-team of Kirke and Artin will step up if you survive the first round.
I'll see you at the Gardens!
The prize chest at the end of both rounds contains something new: Red Moonstone, and Inherited Conqueror's Essence. What are these items for? Read on and find out.
THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY!!! THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY!!!
Transcend and Conquer
It took him a few weeks of experimentation, but Aegis, Ignea's renowned blacksmith, has uncovered the secret to unleashing the full potential of Conqueror's equipment.
You will need to bring him 100 Red Moonstone and 65 Inherited Conqueror's Essence, and pay him for his time, but Aegis will then be able to upgrade your level 307 Epic Inherited Conqueror's equipment into level 319 Legendary Transcendent Conqueror's.
NOTE: Transcendent Conqueror equipment obtained via upgrades is identical to legendary gear in any other context, but it cannot be traded with other Soulkeepers, placed onto the Marketplace, or stored in your account storage. Exclusivity is the price you pay for this kind of power. Future Legendary Conqueror's equipment obtained via other means won't carry this restriction, but Aegis' custom gear is for you, and you alone.
Granil's Missions
Granil's been busy, and it's not only Soulstones that are flowing out of Nerodin. In addition to the normal rewards, completing Daily Quests as part of your Daily Missions awards increasing numbers of Granil's Locked Treasure Chests, which contain a variety of possible rewards. The chests are easy enough to find, but to open them, you'll need Granil's Key, which can be found on Granil itself, or less commonly, won from Moon Queen Luna.
If you're patient and willing to put the work in, there will another source of Granil's Keys at the end of this event, in four weeks. We'll be checking on how many of the daily missions to complete daily quests you've done. We'll track the winners, and the fourteen characters who completed these missions the most will rewarded with increasing numbers of Granil's Keys, to a maximum of 150. We'll also randomly select 100 characters who completed one of the daily quest missions at least once, and award them 20 Granil's Keys each.
Characters will receive small amounts of Red Moonstone and Inherited Conqueror's Essence for each hour they stay connected, every day. It's not much, but it gets you that much closer to being the first Soulkeeper to obtain a Transcendent Conqueror's set.
Conqueror's Legacy
PePe wandered off early from Ignea once again, but Popo has taken over for their squishy sibling, and will accept your Conqueror Coins for just one more week.
Cash Shop
It's going to be fierce, competing with other Soulkeepers for those Granil's Keys, so you can take the path of lesser resistance and purchase them with Blue Diamonds.
Red Moonstone and Inherited Conqueror's Essence are available for Blue Diamonds, but in limited quantities, so you'll need to find another source in order to upgrade anything.
*New: Radiant Asgard Pack is also available until May 18th.
*Change:
1) Two Sigil-related items moved from Featured to Convenience
2) Shining Glory Soul Stone Lamp sales extended to May 18th
3) Granil's Key, Inherited Conqueror's Essence, Radiant Asgard Pack sales end on May 18th
