The Masters League begins now!

Arthdal Chronicles has launched the Masters League, an integrated field content where servers battle for supremacy in the Black Night Archipelago. It’s not just about individual prowess here; this is a massive server-wide clash where rankings are determined by collective scores. A high placement nets you some serious kit, including Legendary Armor Selection Chests, +7 Slayer Weapon Selection Chests, and +6 Gerard Weapon Selection Chests.

The league is split into Master, Platinum, Gold, and Silver tiers, with the top combat-power character from each server making the call on which league to enter. As it stands, the frontrunners look to be Yunseul 2 for the Master tier, Aramun Haesla 2 for Platinum, Hageasan 1 for Gold, and Irae 3 for Silver. However, in this game, nothing is ever truly set in stone. Who will claim the glory of the inaugural Masters League title? We shall see.

Let us know! Issue Q&A

Q. Where can I find the Fruit of the Sacred Tree?
A. Check the exchange list at the Tree of Alchemy.

A new item, the Fruit of the Sacred Tree, has landed in the Tree of Alchemy exchange. You can swap 100 Radiant Sacred Tree Emblems for it. Once consumed, it grants a 5-minute buff: +3% Final Accuracy, +5 PvP Accuracy, +5 PvP Status Effect Hit Rate, +5 PvP Action Restriction Hit Rate, and +20 Fixed Damage. It’s a potent concoction that’s likely to be a real game-changer in PvP scuffles.

Q. I accidentally claimed the event Sacred Tree Essence on an alt character.
A. Use the account storage to transfer it to your main.

Ever claimed the event Sacred Tree Essence—used for growth alchemy—on the wrong character by mistake? It’s a classic blunder, usually happening when you’re speed-running attendance events. Previously, the item was account-bound, leaving players stuck. Fortunately, since the update on the 14th, you can now shove these items into your account storage. If you've got an essence gathering dust on an alt, move it over to your main character via the storage.

Arthdal Issue in a Snapshot

Scouring the archipelago for the Embers of the Battlefield

With the new Masters League rules for the Black Night Archipelago, the developers have introduced an event where 'Embers of the Battlefield' and 'Specters of the Battlefield' spawn in Archipelagos 1-4 for 30 minutes starting at 9:50 PM. Players are scrambling to find these monsters for the Masters Emblems they drop, but with limited spawn windows and quantities, it’s proving to be quite the hunt.

The Masters Emblems you scavenge can be traded for Masters Treasure Chests under [Currency]-[Masters]. Depending on your luck, you might snag Radiant Sacred Tree Essence, Oblivion Accessories, Abyss Armor, or Storm Armor. Keep an eye out for the rare Specter spawns too; they drop three Emblems a pop, so stay sharp.
