On the 17th, Vampir rolled out the new 'Gehenna Zone 3' for high-level players, alongside a festive event to ring in the upcoming Christmas season.

The high-tier hunting ground, Gehenna Zone 3, has finally swung its doors open. You will need to be at least level 84 to enter, where you will face the level 110 'Iron Barzelin' and level 120 'Steel Rapha', along with two 2-star bosses. This area drops new Gehenna-exclusive normal/high-grade weapons and armor, and you can also grind for the new 'Gehenna Flame Anvil' collection materials in the field.

The existing Gehenna regions have also received a bit of a facelift. The health pools for the 1st Zone lower level and 2nd Zone bosses have been trimmed down to make them more manageable, and the weekly cap for Gehenna points has been bumped up to 320,000. Take note of the revised combat rules, however: the instant resurrection cost has been slashed from 120 diamonds to just 36. The catch? Your HP and MP recovery upon revival is now capped at 30% instead of 100%, demanding a far more tactical approach to your skirmishes.

To keep the power creep steady, the devs have added new elements to boost your growth. This includes three new passive skill books that bolster PvP damage resistance and accuracy, plus a new artifact for those at level 100 or higher: the 'Seal of Philippos'.

Alongside the update, the 'Christmas Night' event dungeon has arrived. Running until the 31st, you get 10 minutes of daily access to this festive grind. By farming the dungeon, you collect 'Christmas Night Essence', which can be traded in for rare-to-heroic Sephira summon selection boxes, 11-pull summon tickets for figures/mounts, and Trinity Pouches.

They have also introduced two new special outfits, including 'Red Night of Christmas', and the holiday-themed portrait 'Blessing Guide Claus'. There is a login event that nets you an 11-pull figure summon ticket on the 7th day, plus various missions for gear enhancement and daily quest completion.
