Welcome, everyone. It's time for another Weekly Forum Highlight for 'Blade & Soul Revolution'. Since the 'NEXT Showcase' broadcast, our players have been enjoying a rather quiet week, biding their time until the update drops. To stave off the boredom, the official community has been hosting a flurry of events, including a pre-update festival. Let's dive into the news and see what the community has been whispering about.

This Week's Community Buzz

What's in the Dungeon Right Now?

With the NEXT update looming, players are currently in a lull, wrapping up their daily 'homework' and taking things easy. The official community kicked off a pre-update event, and the clear winner in popularity is the dungeon completion certification. Since there’s not much else to do, it's the perfect excuse to burn through those entry tickets.

If you head over to the 'What's in the Dungeon Right Now?' board in the event section, you'll see a gallery of recent runs. Most are just victory screens post-boss, though quite a few of you have been cheeky enough to snap shots of the boss just before a wipe. Others are busy showing off their contribution scores in the final loot window. A few have left comments moaning about running out of tickets—hopefully, the recent events help with that.

You have until the end of May, specifically May 21st through to the update launch, to get your entries in. Just post your completion screen on the board to be in the running. Fifty lucky players will be randomly selected to win 500 'Black Gemstones'. With only a few days left, don't miss your chance.

Q&A Corner

Q. I can't find the pre-registration page.
A. Check the 'Ongoing Events' link.

The NEXT update landing page got a bit of a facelift after the showcase. It’s now packed with info on the new 'Illusionist' class and a page where you can get a sneak peek at the Unreal Engine 5 overhaul. Naturally, some of you are struggling to find the pre-registration link since the menu shifted around a bit.

You can access the sign-up page through the in-game menu, but if that’s playing up, just search for 'Blade & Soul Revolution' in your browser and head to the official site; it’s usually the first thing that greets you. If you’re still lost, follow the link below.

Don't Miss Out! Latest News

'New Frontier' Special Login Rewards

GM Harin has cooked up another treat before the big update. The 'Upcoming New Frontier, Special Login Reward' event should be familiar to any long-term player. Just log in after lunch every day to have these useful items dropped straight into your mailbox. Even on the holiday right before the update, there are goodies like 3 'Mythical Upgrade Design Fragment Boxes' and 50 'Mythical Relic Restoration Stone Fragments' waiting for you.

Weekly Nonogram

A 'Butterfly' has appeared to trick our players!

Following last week's theme, this Nonogram is also dedicated to the Illusionist. She might look like she handles cats like a Summoner, but she doesn't actually have a real feline companion. We drew the slime-shaped phantom cat last time, and today, we’ve got the matching butterfly.

Don't expect anything too wild; Nonograms are limited by grid space, so it’s a standard butterfly design. In the actual game, these are the phantom butterflies that dance around the Illusionist, sporting a translucent, mystical glow. It’s not too difficult, but watch out for those empty spaces while you’re shading the wings.

The Cheerful Illusion of the Battlefield, 'Illusionist'

It’s been a while since the Illusionist was revealed, so I’d hope you’ve all seen the trailer by now. If not, watch it here: it perfectly captures the slogan of a 'cheerful illusion decorating the battlefield.' Her personality really shines through.

The wallpaper we’ve prepared features the Illusionist resting her chin on her hand with a confident, knowing smirk. While she looks like a standard Lyn at a glance, she appears to be the 'Long-Lyn' body type teased at the showcase. Check out the illustration of the class we’ll finally be playing next week.
