On the 22nd, 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) kicked off its 2nd-anniversary countdown, bringing a raft of changes including siege improvements, adjustments to monster spawns in time dungeons, revamped cross-server content matching, and a generous heap of events.

Let’s start with the 2nd-anniversary countdown. It’s essentially a waiting room where you’re showered with growth materials. Log in daily during the event, and you’ll bag two '2nd Anniversary Lucky Boxes'. Pop them open for a 'Growth and Wealth Talisman (30 min)', plus a chance at extra loot like 'Superior Time Stone Selection Chests', 'Auras of Blessing', 'Shiny Refining Stones', or 'Attribute Essences'.

The pre-anniversary festivities don't stop there. By ticking off simple tasks—think slaying world bosses, refining gear, clearing rift dungeons, or wrapping up mercenary missions—you can snag two more boxes. Complete the full set, and you’ll earn a 'Hero Summon Selection Chest'. Keep an eye on the clock; missions reset every Monday at 6 AM, so don't let these rewards slip through your fingers.

There’s also been a bit of a buzz regarding monster density in the time dungeons. The 'Snake Scale Canyon' (End of Snake Eye Road), 'Temple of the Sun' (Dawn Road), and 'Mihaje Canyon' (Eleventh Record) have seen their spawns bumped from six to nine. Note that the base access time for all time dungeons has been reset following this update.

Beyond that, the siege cap has been nudged up to 60 for the attacking alliance and 85 for the defenders. We've also seen tweaks to the '7-Day Growth Challenge', fixes for those pesky monsters that wouldn't despawn in the 'Black Night Archipelago', some new shop items, and adjustments to 'Black Night Archipelago' matching. For the full, nitty-gritty details, head over to the Arthdal Chronicles official website.
