On the 25th, 'Blade & Soul Revolution' launched its massive 7th-anniversary update. It is packed with content, including the new class 'Bidosulsa', the new 'Revolution' server, anniversary festivities, and the Red God Stone event. If you are a new or returning player, this is arguably the best time to dive back in; let us break down what is actually worth your time.

December 6th marks the 7th anniversary of Blade & Soul Revolution. To celebrate, the developers have turned the game world into a festival, most notably at the special 'Raon Sacred City Festival Zone'. You can get there via the 'Quick Travel - Village - Raon Sacred City Festival Zone' menu. Make sure to chat with the event NPC to grab the '7th Anniversary Festival Buff', which grants a 20% boost to combat EXP for 12 hours. Do not forget it before you start grinding.

The festival zone also features a unique fishing spot. Casting your line here might net you fish of Normal to Heroic grades, plus the chance to snag 'Seven-Star Coins' and '7th Anniversary Commemorative Boxes'. You can spend the former at the anniversary shop, where collecting 5,000 of them allows you to trade for a 'Mythical Recovery Stone Selection Box (Weapon/Accessory)'.

Opening the 7th Anniversary Commemorative Boxes grants you '7th Anniversary Badges'. Collect 15 of these to craft a 'Radiant 7th Anniversary Commemorative Box', which contains one 'Shining Ancient Blueprint Selection Box', two 'Growth Taegeuk Gem Chests (PvP included)', and four 'Growth Gem Chests (PvP included)'. It is a generous package loaded with high-value PvP gear.

You should also check out the 7th Anniversary Special Merchant. 'Soyeonhwa of the Festival' offers valuable items for silver—the game's standard currency. For instance, you can grab one 'Growth Taegeuk Gem Chest (PvP included)' for 70 million silver per account. From November 25th until the update at the end of December, they will be cycling through various items like 'Naeryeok Pills' and 'Legendary Weapon Appearance Chests (PvP excluded)'.

Now, onto the new class. The 24th entry to the Blade & Soul Revolution roster is the 'Bidosulsa', an original class exclusive to the Jin race. They wield sharp 'Bido' (flying blades) and rely on stealth and target-clearing mechanics. You can throw blades in specific directions to harass opponents, making it quite efficient for chasing down fleeing enemies or keeping aggressive ones at bay. Their signature 'Extreme Poison' effect, which deals continuous damage while slowing enemy movement, is tailored specifically for PvP dominance.

The game has also opened the 'Revolution' server, a boosting world designed for rapid progression. It features a '1+2 Level Boosting' system, meaning every time you level up, you gain two additional levels for free. This continues until you hit Hongmoon level 81, and the benefits remain active for 90 days after your character creation.

To help you get settled on the new server, the 'Red God Stone Shop' is now open. You can pick up the 'Radiant Red God Stone Package' once per account for 109,000 Red God Stones. It is stuffed with essential early-game gear, including a '+10 Shining Black Wind Full Set Package', an Ancient Guardian Spirit, and two 'Legendary [Extreme] Martial Art Plate Type Selection Tablets'.

You get 100,000 Red God Stones just by creating a character on the Revolution server, and further stones can be earned via attendance checks. Additionally, the game returns these stones based on your Hongmoon level and real-money spending, giving you plenty of currency to shop with.
