The New Year festivities in Raven 2 are coming to a close at 5:00 AM on February 25th, which means the Garden of Dawn dungeon and its associated events will be shuttered. Don't panic, though; you still have until 4:59 AM on March 4th to use the crafting recipes. Belinda's Classroom is also wrapping up on the same day, so it’s time to tick off those remaining missions and clear out your inventory. Let’s break down everything you need to wrap up the season properly.

Q. The New Year event is hitting the home stretch—what's the plan?
A. Check how many more Dawn Lucky Pouches you can craft.

The absolute priority here is the random box item, the Dawn Lucky Pouch. You can farm these in the Garden of Dawn or craft them using New Year Messages. Since the dungeon provides a standard two-hour weekly limit, you’ve got just enough time left this coming Monday and Tuesday to squeeze in some final farming. Don't forget to keep logging in for those daily Old Lucky Pouches to bolster your crafting efforts.

When it comes to crafting Dawn Lucky Pouches, more is always better, but you should aim for at least 200 of the Advanced grade. Why? Because of the 'Use Advanced Dawn Lucky Pouch' event. Opening these gives you rewards, and the milestone at 200 pouches nets you a 2026 Ancient Vault. It’s your ticket to Legend-grade shards, Blessing Summon Selection Chests, or Hero/Legend Summon Scrolls. Assess your current materials and grind hard while you still can.

Now, it's time to head back into the Garden of Dawn for one last run. Before you dive in, check your stockpile of New Year Messages. Different zones drop different types, so focus on the ones you’re lacking or those that fit the most efficient recipes.If jumping between hunting grounds feels like a chore, just use the schedule feature to partition your time in the Garden of Dawn by region.

Q. I'm running short on message farming.
A. Craft New Year Message Boxes and focus on one specific recipe.

Let’s be honest, RNG in Raven 2 can be a bit of a headache, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get exactly what you need. Solve this by crafting New Year Message Boxes or New Year Message Selection Boxes. The former gives a random message, while the latter lets you pick. Obviously, the selection box is superior, but it costs 10 materials compared to 3 for the random box. Choose wisely.

There are two recipes for the Advanced Dawn Lucky Pouch. It might be smarter to commit to just one, especially if you're short on resources. Use the materials you don't need for the other recipe to craft more New Year Message Boxes instead. If you have the materials to spare, don't hold back—craft what you can and dump the rest into the boxes. Remember, each zone in the Garden of Dawn drops two types of messages; plan accordingly.

As you farm and open pouches, you'll accumulate Dawn Threads. Decide how to spend them based on your progress. They’re used for Rare/Hero Class and Elle Summon Selection Chests, or Mark Amplifiers. The magic number to hit is 4,000 before the event ends. If you’re on track, you could snag a Hero/Legend Class or Familiar. Check out our previous Raven 2 tips for more details.

Q. What else is ending alongside this?
A. Belinda’s Classroom is closing. The recipes expire even earlier.

The marathon event, Raven 2 Belinda’s Classroom, is also bowing out with the New Year season. Be warned: the event-related items and crafting recipes disappear the moment the event ends—no grace period. Clear those remaining missions and use those materials now. We’ve covered this in our previous guide. Check out the link here.

Your goal should be the Hero Crafting Blueprint Fragments and the Hero Summon Selection Chest. The former requires 3 existing Hero weapon/armor/accessory blueprint fragments plus the event material, Study Results. You can craft 5 fragments at a time, up to a maximum of 50. Since a full Hero blueprint needs 100 fragments, you won't complete it with this event alone, but it’s a good start. Don't worry about using up those fragments; Raven 2 lets you craft 20 Hero fragments using Rare blueprints twice a month anyway.

For the Hero Summon Selection Chest, you need four types of Education Certificates. You have to clear every mission in Belinda's Enhancement, Relic, Summoning, and Enchantment classes. You can swap one for the All-Purpose Education Certificate from the Mixing Class, but that means losing out on the Shining Summon Chest: Rare. It's a tough call.

Crafting the chest is worth it since it lets you pick a Hero Class or Familiar summon scroll. Calculate if you can actually collect all four certificates before the event expires. I must admit, I’ve been busy with other tasks and have put this off for too long—better get to it this weekend!
