On the 8th, 'Raven 2' rolled out new crafting recipes for Hero-grade cloaks, designed to help players boost their stats. Alongside this, the developers adjusted class balance for Gunslingers and Vanguards and launched a suite of events packed with rewards.

The highlight of this update is the introduction of these Hero-grade cloak recipes. You can now forge the 'Cloak of Oblivion', 'Cloak of Agony', and 'Polaris Cloak' directly via the [Crafting - Armor - Cloak] menu. These pieces are currently the top performers in the Hero tier.

To craft them, you will need Gold, Monster Heart Stones, Teramonds, and Hero Crafting Blueprints. You need two of each primary material—the Monster Heart Stones and Hero Crafting Blueprints—and keep in mind that other components, such as Premium Cloth or Premium Leather, vary by recipe. It is recommended to check the ingredients for your desired cloak before you start gathering.

Class balancing has also been implemented. For Gunslingers, the distance for dash skills, including 'Run and Gun', has been extended, allowing you to engage enemies from further away. They have also lowered the MP consumption for key skills like 'Steel Rain' and 'Peacemaker', which should improve long-term hunting efficiency.

As for the Vanguard, the 'Reflect Shield' has received a quality-of-life improvement. Previously, the counter-attack would not trigger if you did not take direct damage, but now it will activate even if you dodge or block an incoming monster attack. Additionally, the loot tables for the Abyss 4th Floor field boss have been adjusted, removing high-grade accessories from the drop pool.

On top of that, the 'Abyss Rift Conquest Mission 4' event is now live. Until 4:59 AM on the 21st, you can hunt down monsters to earn 'Special Forces Weapon/Armor/Accessory Enhancement Stone' boxes. Complete all the missions, and you will receive five 'Abyss Soul Chests' as the grand prize.

Don't overlook the login event, either. It runs for seven days, offering everything from Abyss Time Recharge Stones to various Essences of Light. Log in daily to claim your rewards. For more detailed update notes, please check the official 'Raven 2' community forums.
