February's highlight is the Lunar New Year, the traditional Korean holiday. While the official break falls between February 14th and 18th this year, 'Raven 2' decided to jump the gun with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. They kicked off a special event on February 4th, packed with items, crafting recipes, and special coupons. Of course, to farm effectively in the event dungeon, you are going to need plenty of 'life water'—or health potions, as we call them—which has sparked quite a few questions on the user forums.

Latest news on Raven 2

Class changes and a new season of the Tower of Chaos have arrived!

First up, Raven 2 updates. We just wrapped up Season 9 of the Tower of Chaos and immediately rolled into Season 10. The shop has been reset, and both the repeat rewards and additional entry tickets have been refreshed. As for those leftover Season 9 tickets, you can trade them in for a 'Top-Grade 1-Time Summon Selection Box' at the in-game Chaos Coin shop. Make sure to do so before the deadline at 5:00 AM on February 11th.

Class change Season 7 is also a big deal. This season runs until 4:59 AM on February 18th, and you will need to be at least level 50 to make the switch. If you are changing classes, skins purchased with Gold, Vow Coins, or Glory Coins will be transferred for free without burning through your Class Change Tokens. The developers also plan to add a crafting recipe for any leftover Season 7 tokens once the change period concludes.

Raven 2 Lunar New Year event gets a ten-day head start

The Lunar New Year typically falls in the third week of February, but the magpies have arrived a bit early this year. Kicking off with the February 4th update, the Lunar New Year event season is in full swing. As with most major Raven 2 events, the star of the show is the event dungeon. It is called the Garden of Dawn, and you are granted two hours of base entry time every Monday. The monsters here have letters floating above their heads—this is key. Defeating them drops the corresponding letter item, which you can then register in your collection or use as a crafting material.

We also have new appearances: 'Moon Behind the Clouds' (Heroic) and 'Crimson Messenger' (Rare). You can snag the latter just by logging into Raven 2 and claiming the Day 1 attendance reward. The 'Moon Behind the Clouds' appearance and the new heroic familiar 'Dabok' are guaranteed rewards when purchasing packages in the 'Lunar New Year Special' tab of the in-game shop. Check the official community patch notes for the full breakdown of crafting recipes and collections.

Sharing questions & strategies

Q. How do I increase affinity with the general merchant?
A. Present gifts to the NPC every single day.

In Raven 2, you can boost your affinity score with merchants by giving them gifts. Once you hit certain thresholds, your affinity rank increases, unlocking additional items for sale. A user named 'MJ78' recently raised this on the boards; they hit level 55 and wanted to buy high-tier potions, but were stumped on how to actually raise their merchant affinity.

The answer came from 'VerVERdaLegend2', who suggested donating 40 pieces of Cloth and Fragmented Crystals to the general merchant every day. While other items work, they are often too hard to come by. They also recommended staying consistent with the equipment, skill, collection material, and rune shops—so take note.

Eyes on the prize: Events of the week

The Lunar New Year has started early—what kind of events are waiting for you?

Let’s look at what else accompanies the Garden of Dawn. The core loop involves defeating monsters in the Garden to earn 'Dawn Lucky Pouches' and using 'Time Recharge Stones' to extend your stay. There are three mission events: 'Garden of Dawn Challenge,' 'Dawn Lucky Pouch: High-Grade,' and 'Garden of Dawn Visit.' The challenge rewards you with Time Recharge Stones, while visiting the garden rewards you with pouches. They feed into each other, so keep them both in rotation.

You can also pick up more pouches and stones via the 'Garden of Dawn Attendance 1' event, with the big bonuses hitting on days 1 and 14. Day 1 gives you the new rare Lunar New Year appearance, 'Crimson Messenger,' while the final day's 'Garden of Dawn Gift Package' is stuffed with a '2026 Ancient Safe,' a 'Dawn Lucky Pouch: Heroic,' and 26 Gold Bars. The 'Daily Lucky Pouch Attendance' runs for 21 days, handing out 'Old Lucky Pouch' crafting materials daily. The Lunar New Year season wraps up at 5:00 AM on February 25th.

Belinda's Classroom: Two subjects open at once this week

The Belinda event season, which kicked off in January, has opened classrooms for Relics and Combat Practice. Two subjects at once? It seems like they are double-majoring now. However, only the Relics class provides the 'Education Completion Certificate' needed for crafting. I suppose Combat Practice was just an elective. If you collect all the certificates—Summoning, Enchanting, Relics, and Reinforcement—you can craft a 'Heroic 1-Time Summon Selection Box.' We are currently just waiting on the Reinforcement certificate, which will likely arrive with the final class next week.

Log in for 7 days, get 4 special coupons!

Raven 2's special coupons are essentially restoration tickets for gear destroyed during reinforcement—a feature players have been clamouring for. The demand was so high that during a recent live stream, the chat was practically flooded with requests for them.

Then, on February 4th, they finally launched the 7-day attendance event. From now until 4:59 AM on February 25th, you can earn coupons for equipment, spells, runes, and relics. The usage period matches the event window. These cover items destroyed between 5:00 AM on December 31st, 2025, and 4:59 AM on February 25th, 2026. Now, the only question is which ones to restore.
