'Battle World' in 'Raven 2' has officially kicked off. So, following our previous deep dive into the developer notes, we have distilled the essential tips just before the gates opened. Additionally, 'Raven 2' has launched the Battle World limited event and a 'Total War' event. In this piece, we break down these events and provide a snapshot of the current Battle World landscape. Dive into the core rewards and use our analysis to decide whether to step into the fray or focus on your farming strategy.

Q. What are the key events in Battle World?
A. The 'Abyss Battle World Subjugation Operation' is the one to watch.

Let’s start with the Battle World events. These festivities are strictly confined to the Battle World instance. We have the 'Battle World Victory Record Attendance' and the 'Battle World Subjugation Operation'. Both run until May 6th, 04:59. The attendance event is straightforward: over seven days, you’ll receive the '[Battle World] Special Support Compass Box', '5x Decisive Supply Boxes', and a '2026 Ancient Vault'. Since 'Raven 2' resets its day at 05:00, make sure you start checking in by April 29th at the latest.

The Subjugation Operation is a mission-based event centered on the Abyss. There are eight tasks in total, including slaying 50,000 Abyss monsters and taking down 10 special agents from other servers. Completing all tasks nets you a 'High-Grade Abyss Soul Box', which yields anywhere from 2,000 to 50,000 Abyss Souls. Requiring players to eliminate others is quite rare in 'Raven 2', reflecting the core premise of Battle World: competition across all domains. While objectively not a difficult task, those who prefer to avoid PvP might find the 'eliminate other players' mission a bit of a nuisance. If you’ve come here simply for the Battle World bonuses, you’re likely to feel the same way.

The final reward, the Abyss Souls, can be farmed through other means. The Abyss on the first floor of Battle World drops them too. My own experimental farming session clocked in at 4,521 monster kills over four hours, netting over 8,000 Abyss Souls. If you’d rather avoid player conflicts, using Abyss Time Charging Stones to focus on PvE is a perfectly solid choice.

Let’s crunch the numbers based on my experience. 'Raven 2' provides 8 hours of default weekly Abyss time. Since the Battle World runs for about three weeks, that’s 24 hours total. Using all event-rewarded Time Charging Stones adds 2 hours, bringing the total to 26 hours. A rough estimate puts your farming potential at around 28,000 souls. Of course, your mileage will vary depending on your character's stats. Calculate your own efficiency before committing your time.

Q. Does 'Total War' offer the same rewards as the Battle World events?
A. The 'Decisive Supply Box' and 'War Military Token' are the linchpins here.

As mentioned, the 4th-week update for April introduced two event themes, with Battle World attendance rewarding the 'Decisive Supply Box'. Pay close attention to this box. It’s a random loot crate containing 'Stella Fragments', 'Terramite', 'Enhancement Stones', and various 11x Summon Scrolls. This item, and the 'War Military Token' found within, are what bridge the gap between Battle World and the Total War event.

The Total War event consists of 'Spoils Procurement', 'Decisive Supply Deployment', and a '14-Day Decisive Attendance'. The first two run until May 6th, 04:59, while the attendance runs until May 13th at the same time. The goal is to collect Decisive Supply Boxes to farm War Military Tokens.

Your minimum target should be 40 of each item. You need 40 supply boxes to clear all missions and earn 12 War Military Tokens. These tokens are essential materials for crafting 'Decisive Package Selection Boxes' and 'Mysterious Potion Boxes' in the event menu. Crafting a Selection Box requires 40 tokens.

The Decisive Package Selection Box lets you choose between 'Stella', 'Growth', or 'Heavens Stone' packages. The 'Decisive Stella Package', for instance, contains 'Hero-grade Stella 1x Summon Scroll', '20x Special Agent Stella Fragment Boxes', and 200 Terramite. Since 'Raven 2' recently added a feature to convert Hero-grade or higher Stellas into other items, this is a prime opportunity to either set up your Hero Stella build or push for a Legendary Stella synthesis.

Q. What is the current status of Battle World as of April 24th?
A. Here is the lowdown on the Exchange and Guild situation.

Finally, let’s take a look at the server environment as of April 24th, early in the Battle World cycle. I transferred to the Fides server in Battle World and tracked other guilds via in-game dungeon rankings and the Tower of Chaos. The Exchange is bustling; Rare Stellas, Rare/Hero Heavens Stones, and Hero/Legendary crafting materials are moving quickly.

The real stars are the Hero/Legendary crafting materials and the 'Time Charging Stone: Abyss'. Players are scrambling to secure them to maximize their Abyss bonuses. Additionally, listing the 'Ancient Kingdom Invitation'—the ticket for the Ancient Citadel—resulted in an instant sale. Since server transfer costs only 1 Gold and there’s another 1 Gold transfer opportunity when the event ends, jumping servers temporarily to farm some Diamonds isn't a bad idea.

Regarding top-tier guilds on Fides: I’ve spotted familiar powerhouses like 'RoyalDaNaeKkeo' and the 'Raon' series (A, B, C, and D). The Raon guilds have consolidated on Fides, while RoyalDaNaeKkeo settled on Dolor. Fides currently hosts only five top-tier guilds, and as seen in recent 'Meca Ranking' data, many others have yet to move to Battle World. With transfer opportunities still available, keep an eye on the schedule.
