The final 'RAVEN 2' Ancient Citadel match of 2025 has concluded. It is hard to believe that this content has already reached its 36th iteration. Did you achieve your goals this year? I managed to accomplish some of my own small goals within RAVEN 2. I hope everyone enjoys the joy of achieving their goals in the new year.

Shall we check the results? There are few repeat-winning guilds in the 36th Ancient Citadel, but the key is quality over quantity. The protagonists are the Primordial Battlefield winning guilds: RoyalDanaekkeo, Kings, and Veteran Club. RoyalDanaekkeo and Kings have rewritten the history of the throne with this victory, and Veteran Club has reached the top tier. It also demonstrated that performance in lower-tier battlefields is crucial.

In the Battlefield of Life, the guild 'Dongmul-ui Sup-euro Nollyeowa' is steadily accumulating victory points. Their current total record is '4 / 6 / 4 / 1', having planted flags in all battlefields. Thanks to this, they were once the gatekeepers of the top 10 in the overall victory ranking chart, but they stepped back as the entry barrier rose to '5 wins in Primordial Battlefield + 1 win in Elemental Battlefield'. However, they are a guild with enough potential to skyrocket in the rankings once they achieve a win in the Primordial Battlefield. I look forward to seeing them soar by winning the Primordial Battlefield next year.

The situation is similar for Valentine in the Elemental Battlefield. With this victory, they are collecting lower-tier battlefield trophies with a total record of '4 / 4 / 1 / 2'. They did not meet the top 10 entry barrier mentioned later due to a lack of one win in the Primordial Battlefield. Looking at it differently, this can be interpreted as the cumulative number of Ancient Citadel wins by active guilds having increased.

Ancient Citadel Victory Ranking

There has been a major change in the overall victory point ranking. The dominance of BucksCoin, which held the 1st place in the Hall of Fame for a long time, has finally collapsed. The new occupant of the throne is Mare's RoyalDanaekkeo. They became the owner of the crown with only 13 wins in the Primordial Battlefield. They also recently won the RAVEN 2 Guild Championship, which featured skirmishes, decorating the end of 2025 brilliantly by reaching the top in both major guild PVP contents.

RoyalDanaekkeo is not the only one to push out BucksCoin. Kerum's Kings rose to 2nd place with 12 wins in the Primordial Battlefield and 2 wins in the Battlefield of Life. Since BucksCoin's record was 12 wins in the Primordial Battlefield and 1 win in the Battlefield of Vegetation, they naturally fell to 3rd place. This showed that lower-tier battlefield performance is also important in the Ancient Citadel victory point competition, as rankings were often decided by small point differences.

Meanwhile, Mare's Veteran Club entered the Top 10 this time. They had previously failed to cross the entry barrier due to a lack of Primordial Battlefield victory points, but they finally recorded 5 wins in the Primordial Battlefield in the 36th Ancient Citadel. Of course, this was also thanks to securing competitiveness by accumulating 3 wins in the Elemental Battlefield.

Ancient Citadel Content Analysis

While the RAVEN 2 Korea region has finished its 36th Ancient Citadel, the global region has completed its first Ancient Citadel in the Legend World. Legend was a boosting server updated alongside the Gunslinger class. As we have seen so far, the Korea region has established strong guilds and alliances. Some servers were even difficult to bid on because they were occupied by specific alliances. If a late-starting RAVEN 2 user wants to participate in the Ancient Citadel, I recommend creating a character in these boosting worlds to enjoy the content. Usually, new worlds match Ancient Citadel participants only within the world.

PVP Ranking Status

The final PVP ranking of the year for RAVEN 2 ended very quietly. It seems the server transfer, which took place from December 24th to 30th, was the cause. It was not an environment to focus on PVP. It was very difficult to find rankers with 2 or more kills, and there were only 18 of them. There were only 2 rankers with 10 or more kills. The high point dropped from 85 kills to 33 kills. The protagonist was 'BadaGoblin' from Sola-Mors, who had no affiliated guild or alliance. It is unclear whether they were working as a mercenary or had temporarily left their guild. I look forward to active PVP competition in the new year.
