New area【West War】

The new quest and subquest chain: West War has been implemented. This new area is located in Grace City and gets unlocked once you have completed Dipluce Horizon’s main quest line. It features four new dungeons and a new level cap: up to level 72.

To access these new areas, you need to speak with NPC Arin in Grace City, who will be available once you start the West War questline. This new area also brings the implementation of a new skill for each Soulworker!

New raid【Violent Sun】

Violent Sun is a new high difficulty raid that you can challenge from level 72. You unlock it after clearing the main quest from West War II questline that can be done at Grace City. You can do the raid a total of four times a day, and you can obtain up to extra 7 permits per week.

By completing the raid you can obtain the new gear set which comes in three different variants: St, Ex, Hr. The full equipment bonus will only be activated if all your equipment pieces belong to the same sub-category.

You can get all the different materials needed by simply completing the raid or repeatable daily missions, or by obtaining them from NPC Maxim found in Grace City. Note that each sub-category of the Violent Sun equipment requires a different amount of materials in order to be crafted.

Also, take in mind that a few small changes have been made to the original raid values:

• The drop amount of shards in Violent Sun Phase 3 has been increased.
• The crafting cost for the Heroic gear of burning embers has been reduced.
• The number of daily entries has been increased to 4, instead of 3.

Known Issues

• We’re aware that the stockings for custom outfits (SoulBreakers) are a bit glitched. Equipping the stockings make you unequip the shoes. Equipping the weapon can also unequip the costume. This can be worked around if you tweak around visual equipping and normal equipping, but it might not always work out. We will tackle this in the next MT, on the 25th
