'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) has finally pulled the curtain on its massive 2nd-anniversary update. It is packed with fresh content, including the new 'Krabon' server and the single-player PvE 'Trial Dungeon.' So, what exactly has been buzzing on the official community over the past week? Let our Weekly Forum Highlight guide you through the news.

New Server: Krabon Opens

Arthdal Chronicles has launched the 'New World' region's Krabon server, allowing players from South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau to mingle. To keep things fair, the Krabon server ditches the usual package bloat, offering only passes and subscriptions, while strictly limiting paid items, gems, and silver coin sales for costumes. Furthermore, they are throwing in aggressive growth rewards—think field directory boosting events and a one-month attendance check that guarantees at least one, and up to four, legendary mounts. It is essentially a fresh start for a fresh wave of players, so dive in while the iron is hot.

New Region: Entrance to Manteib Unveiled

The new region, Entrance to Manteib, is now live. You can access it after chatting with Village Chief Sagan in Act 1, Chapter 11, where a fresh set of adventures awaits. Additionally, the new world boss, Vargon, has arrived, replacing the level 60 Tukhan, making it much easier for everyone to join the boss-hunting fray.

Trial Dungeons and Relics Arrive

Solo PvE enthusiasts, rejoice—the Trial Dungeon is here. Entry costs points, with a base of five provided every week. You can stockpile up to 50 points, and your base quota resets every Monday at 6 AM. With difficulty levels ranging from 1 to 8, you get to choose your poison before heading in. Clear each stage for the first time, and you will snag exclusive relic rewards.

Growth Guide System Added

To help you stop fumbling through the mechanics, a new Growth Guide has been implemented. Accessible via [Menu] - [Growth Guide], it spans seven distinct stages. Each stage lays out missions and associated rewards. While rewards are limited to once per server, high-level characters can skip the grind and complete these missions instantly. Do not miss out—this is where you bag the 2nd-anniversary spirit 'Gomayang' and the mount 'Gomacat'.

Got Questions? Q&A Special

Q. Where can I get Relic Refinement Stones?
A. You need to dismantle your spare relics.

Once you start clearing Trial Dungeons, you will accumulate plenty of relic gear. Enhancing them requires Relic Enhancement Stones—found in the dungeons—while refining them demands Relic Refinement Stones, which are crafted from relic fragments obtained by dismantling spare loot. Bonus: crafting these stones gives you a 10% chance to create a tradeable version, meaning you can flip them on the marketplace if you are feeling savvy.

Q. Why are there now three world boss channels?
A. It is a quality-of-life tweak for boss encounters.

To smooth out the experience, world boss habitats now span three base channels. Don't worry about splitting your focus; the boss shares the same health pool across all channels. If you shave off 20% of the boss's HP in Channel 1, that damage is reflected across the board. Contribution rewards are calculated based on your total damage dealt, regardless of the channel. If the lag becomes unbearable, just hop over to Channel 2 or 3.

Events at a Glance

A Massive 2nd-Anniversary Event Spree

The 2nd-anniversary update has triggered a landslide of events. The headline act is definitely the attendance check: challenge for a legendary mount every 7 days. Log in for 28 days, and you get four chances to score a legendary mount. Even if luck is not on your side, you are guaranteed at least one legendary mount via crafting. Plus, 'Part 1: The Approaching Advent' offers re-synthesis tickets for spirits, weapon appearances, mounts, and Dream-Stones, alongside recharge stones for rift dungeons.

Community events are also making waves. You can show off your most meaningful or brag-worthy achievements by posting a screenshot on the designated board for the '2nd Anniversary! Favorite Achievement Certification' event, or play the 'Find the Hidden Words!' game by leaving a comment on the relevant post with the three words you found.
