Blade & Soul: Dark Passage Update Arrives July 22nd
July 22nd brings us Dark Passage, the newest update for Blade & Soul! The update brings with it several item additions and system changes along with exciting new limited time events. Dark Passage features:
New Hunting Zone – Nyraka
Infected by demons and fiends, the isle of Nyraka has felt the effects of Mushin’s meddling in the Divine Realm. This place knows no friends, only foes, as dark thoughts and violence pollute the land and mind.
Nyraka is a hunting zone open to PvE and PvP from July 22 to August 19. Auto-Combat can be used in this zone. Accept the Letter Quest A Keeper’s Call to make your way over there.
Silversteel Laboratory
Silversteel Laboratory is a 12 player raid recommended for level 60 HM 16 or higher. Lead Engineer Shingun has discovered Silversteel automaton protypes from what remains of the Steelbreaker. Instead of destroying these robotic creations, he and his team have decided to rebuild the automatons to better serve the Talus Dominion. Some quality control and testing are needed for these former Silversteel automatons, and this is where you come in.
Koldrak Fever
Available Firday, Saturday, and Sunday, the Koldrak’s Lair daily quest will have a bonus item that can be earned, a Koldrak’s Cache. A Koldrak’s Cache contains the following items:
