It seems Raven 2 is cooking up something massive. They’ve dropped some hints via developer notes and are busy cranking up the hype through various events. With several of these events wrapping up in the early hours of April 22, it is high time we do a mid-term audit. What do you need to survive such a grand spectacle? Well, first off, you need to be a big shot, and growth is the only way to get there. Coincidentally, a player reached out for advice on choosing a Hero-grade ring for their Divine Caster, so let’s dive into that.

Raven 2 Latest News

Late April, Battle World Event kicks off

Big news dropped in the 74th installment of the Raven 2 developer commentary on April 3: a 'Battle World' event is hitting us in late April. The idea is to gather players from all regions for a bit of interaction and some special festivities. During the event, they are adding separate worlds and servers, where players from Korea, Global, Daehongma, and the Japan region will converge. Further details were revealed in the 75th episode on April 10.

Battle World promises some special rewards for Ancient Citadel and skirmish victories. Most notably, Parnack in the Primal Battlefield is guaranteed to drop a Legendary-grade Parnack weapon. They are also buffing the drop rates for Legendary gear and Heavenstones from Abyss bosses. Wondering what happens after the event? The Raven 2 dev team will whisk everyone back to their original servers in their respective regions. Check the official Raven 2 community for the full lowdown.

New Items and Crafting Updates

This week, Raven 2 updated the Abyss Floor 4 for the Global region, along with fresh items and crafting recipes for the Korean region. Let’s focus on the Korean side. There are two big headlines here, starting with the 'Legendary Dimensional Wanderer's Mark'. It’s an artifact that follows a unique enhancement rule, where you use lower-tier items and extra ingredients to craft the next level. You’ll need a +9 Dimensional Wanderer's Hero Mark, 500 Rift Shards, 3 Beast Heart Stones, and 10 million Gold. This Legendary mark can go up to +10.

The second update involves burning those leftover Class Change Tokens. You can craft items like 10 Blessed Teleport Scrolls, 10 Blessed HP Potions, and six types of 'Essence of Light' (Red/Blue/Green/Yellow) via the Craft - Event - Class Change menu. You have until 4:59 AM on April 22 to get this done, so don't dawdle. Keep in mind that some items have server-wide crafting caps.

Q&A and Strategy Sharing

Q. For a Divine Caster's Hero ring, should I go for Ruin or Immortality?
A. Wait, what about the Frozen Earth Ring?

A user named 'Moros' is currently agonizing over which Hero ring to pick for their Divine Caster. They asked the Raven 2 forum whether the Ring of Ruin or the Ring of Immortality was the better choice. A user named 'WhoIsTheKing' chimed in with a cheeky, 'Wait, why on earth is the Frozen Earth Ring off the list?' After all, the Divine Caster is primarily a healer. Check the images for the stats of all three.

Another user, 'IWillWatchYou', explained why there’s a third option. Divine Casters rely heavily on the MP Recovery Amplification stat, which both the Ruin and Immortality rings lack. It’s a bit of a letdown for the class, so if you’re a Divine Caster scratching your head over gear, keep that detail in mind.

Event Spotlight

The Day of Reckoning approaches, prepare with these three events

The theme for the third week of April is the 'Day of Reckoning'. With the tagline 'The Day of Reckoning is one week away,' it sounds like a warm-up act for the Battle World event. The first event, 'All-Out War D-7', tasks you with completing 8 missions to snag rewards like Enhancement Stones and Abyss Bloodstone Shards. You finish the list by performing 50 gear enhancements and 40 item dismantles. The grand prize is a High-Grade Special Ops Enhancement Stone Selection Box.

The second event, 'Eve of Reckoning', is another mission-based affair. Complete Special Ops missions and hunt dungeon monsters to grab coins and Special Ops Stella Fragment boxes. Finally, the 'War Preparation Countdown Attendance' event hands out a total of 10 'Remnants of Light' crafting materials over seven days. These are part of the Balton Empire event series. Remember, the Balton Empire, Comac, and Day of Reckoning events all wrap up on April 22 at 4:59 AM—double-check that you haven't missed a thing.
