Raven 2 has rolled out its new progression feature: Concoction. Unlocked at level 70, this system dials up the potency of your food-based consumables. You will need Devotion Coins and the new Suspicious Concoction Powder—the latter being salvaged by dismantling rare-grade gear or suffering the heartbreak of a failed enhancement. The buffs apply to skewers, potions, elixirs, and amplifiers of stigma.

The yield of Concoction materials varies depending on your gear tier. Here is the catch: Concoction levels are tied strictly to the individual character. If you manage to hit a +1 enhancement on character A, your alt character B will be stuck with the basic, unbuffed stats. Keep that in mind if you are juggling multiple alts.

Mythic Familiars are finally getting the 'Awakening' treatment previously reserved for Legendary tiers. Once your familiar hits level 15, they can unlock a skill through Awakening. Unlike the lower tiers, Mythic Familiars can learn Hero-grade active skills. The patch notes highlight 'Obedience' as a prime example—it deals damage to enemies while granting you a temporary boost to final damage amplification and a higher proc rate for familiar awakening skills.

Warfare contention has also seen a tune-up. Starting with the matches on January 31, new war rewards will be distributed. These crystals are handed out based on each guild's contribution to the battlefield. For the fine print on how these rewards are calculated, head over to the official Raven 2 community patch notes before you dive into the fray. Alongside these rewards, the devs have tweaked victory/defeat payouts and adjusted defensive towers, boss monsters, and general combat flow.

Of course, there is no shortage of new events in Raven 2. The 'Novateron’s Errand' event, which kicked off last week, has entered its second stage. It is the usual drill: complete missions to secure the final reward, which remains the Akehon’s Antique Bundle. The event runs until February 4 at 4:59 AM.

We also have the arrival of the 'Belinda' event series, running until February 25 at 4:59 AM, which packs in both missions and attendance rewards. First up is 'Belinda’s Concoction Classroom,' designed to help you engage with the new system. By dismantling items and experimenting with Concoctions, you earn materials for both Concoctions and event crafting—the latter being useful for the 'Belinda’s Summoning Classroom'.

Furthermore, 'Belinda’s Special Lecture: Attendance' offers a 14-day login bonus, including one 11-pull summon ticket each for Grade/Familiar/Stella, plus one Premium 11-pull Selection Box. Since the Summoning Classroom tasks demand heavy use of the summon system, these tickets are quite the helping hand. Make sure to check the schedule and squeeze out every last reward while you can.
