Tada! 'Raven 2' has finally reached its 2nd anniversary. It feels like just yesterday we were abuzz with getting rare equipment, time flies, eh? Netmarble is celebrating this milestone with a host of updates, including a new class, Warlord, Ultimate and Special coupons, and the specialized ZERO world. This event is split between the regular and ZERO worlds, so be sure to check the details carefully as the style differs from the norm. Still confused? Don't worry, you can always ask for answers on the user forums. Now, let's kick off this 'Raven 2 Communal Weekly' packed with 2nd-anniversary news.

Raven 2 Latest News

You've all been waiting, right? The 2nd Anniversary Grand Festival begins now!

The bearer of Raven 2's 2nd-anniversary news is the new Warlord class. This melee fighter wields a spear, capable of suppressing enemies with powerful crowd control or acting as a commander type buffing allies. The class change ticket is also a big draw for players. A new spear weapon and collection have been added. The spear comes in '9 Normal - 11 Advanced - 10 Rare - 7 Hero - 2 Legendary' types, with a new collection requiring these.

Players level 55 and above who log in will notice the new quest, 'A Bard's Dream'. This content is linked to the event dungeon, Raven's Castle. Raven's Castle is a dungeon commemorating players who have left a significant mark on Raven 2's history. Unlock the content by completing the quest, then tackle the dungeon and enjoy the story's conclusion. You get one chance per week to enter the dungeon, with the clear reward being 2,000 Essence of Engraving. Don't forget to claim and register the Hero item collection piece, 'Epic [Raven's Great Journey]', after finishing all event quests.

Special Server ZERO Emerges and Tower of Chaos Content Expands

The ZERO World is one of the key keywords for this Raven 2 2nd-anniversary event. ZERO consists of 6 sub-servers within a single world, operating under distinct rules. It's a completely different ecosystem, with reduced PK and competitive stress, no Mythical grade summons, and adjusted accuracy balance. Since events are running on a two-track system for both regular and ZERO servers, make sure you understand how each works.

Additionally, Raven 2's Tower of Chaos has started Season 12. This season runs until 4:59 AM on July 15th. The top floor has been extended from 45 to 50, and naturally, a buff reward has been placed at the 45th floor. The first clear reward for floor 50 includes '5x Highest Grade 11x Holy Beast Summon Choice Boxes - 1x Mark of the Strong - 2x Heartstone Shard of the Beast'. When the Tower of Chaos was previously extended to 45 floors, the dominant classes shifted. I'm curious to see what changes will occur this time. We'll check the Raven 2 Tower of Chaos rankings later.

Let's Share Questions & Strategies

Alongside the Grand Festival news, various posts have appeared on the official community. These include evaluations of the new Warlord class, event strategies, and details on the aforementioned ZERO World. Among these, the event strategy section asked for a solution to the relic enhancement mission. The user stated, 'I received the mission to attempt 3-starring relics 5 times, but I'm short on relics and enhancement stones.'

Here, we recommend using the Grand Festival Pass and the Relic tab in the shop. The former is a pass held for this 2nd anniversary, selling activation tickets in the 'Shop - Items - Return of the Legend' tab. It's priced at 1 Gold, so grab it immediately. Since the rewards include a special Relic Box, you should have ample enhancement materials.

Now, for the remaining relic enhancement stones. Visit the 'Shop - Items - Relic' tab and purchase your desired items. The products include relics and several relic enhancement stones. Even buying the 120 Crystal product nets you 10 stones. We hope you achieve the enhancement results you desire.

Many users are having trouble finding the entrance to the ZERO World on the user boards. The answer is simple. Return to the Raven 2 login screen and click the 'Change Region' button at the top right. You'll see the 'Global & ZERO' button.The 'Global & ZERO' region button awaits.Click this, and you're in. If you're intrigued, visit before character creation limits are imposed on the servers.

Focus of Attention: Buzzworthy Events

Special Operative Growth Event Distributes Hero Items!

Finally, let's cover the Raven 2 event news. We'll focus on the regular server events that more users can enjoy. The event structure is divided into 'Ultimate Attendance - Growth - Return of the Legendary Castle/Holy Beast'. Among these, the Growth section is further divided into the Special Operative Growth Event and Warlord's Growth Support. The former is a large-scale mission with no set deadline, while the latter is a simple event distributing gift boxes via an in-game page.

Special Operative Growth is a 70-step tiered mission event. The tasks encourage growth, summoning, and content participation. You'll need to defeat field bosses once, participate in guild dungeons, and tackle the Tower of Chaos. The tasks become progressively more difficult as you advance. For instance, step 63 requires participating in a War once, and step 68 requires attempting to synthesize a Legendary grade Stella once. It's best to proceed at your own pace, like running a marathon. Furthermore, you must complete the current stage's mission to advance to the next and receive rewards.

The rewards are paramount. It includes a variety of Hero items such as 'Scroll of Blessing - Elite Special Operative's Equipment Box - Dazzling Hero Equipment Selection Box - Raven/Ruin Frost Weapon Selection Box - Glorious Hero Skill Book Box'. The boxes, excluding the Elite Special Operative's, contain items requiring 1-2 Hero schematics for crafting. These seem poised to become important benchmarks for future Raven 2 gameplay and content participation.

Don't forget the Legendary Castle/Holy Beast and Ultimate Coupons!

Many users likely anticipated the Return of the Legendary Castle/Holy Beast event. During a pre-event developer live stream, it was announced that 'Legendary Castles and Holy Beasts would be provided for the 2nd anniversary.' Getting dual Legendaries is simple: participate in both return events, complete missions, and collect tickets for Legendary Castle/Holy Beast exchange. Once you have 20 tickets, purchase the summon scroll from the 'Shop - Return of the Legend' page. Special note: the 2nd-anniversary commemorative Legendary Holy Beast is 'Anyver'.

Crucially, remember that the method for obtaining exchange tickets differs for the two events. For the Castle portion, you receive a ticket as a clear reward after completing four tasks. These tasks are daily missions that reset each day. Thus, it's estimated to take 20 days to collect the 20 exchange tickets. For the Holy Beast portion, you need to use 70 Grand Festival Supply Boxes. You obtain the necessary quantity through individual tasks and login rewards in the Legendary Castle Return mission.

The '[Grand Festival] Ultimate Coupon Attendance' also grants Grand Festival Supply Boxes. It's a 28-day marathon attendance event. You have the chance to obtain a total of 24 boxes, with Special and Ultimate Coupons placed every 7 days. In order, you'll receive 'Raven 2 Special Coupon Bundle - Raven 2 Ultimate Coupon: Holy Beast - Raven 2 Ultimate Coupon: Stella - Raven 2 Ultimate Coupon: Castle'. The Special Coupon Bundle, upon opening, yields all Special Coupons for 'Weapon Resonance - Equipment - Relic - Rune'.

The Ultimate and Special Coupons reference records from the official launch on May 29th up to 4:59 AM on July 15th. Their expiration date is also 4:59 AM on July 15th. Please remember the usage deadlines and the dates you need to attend, and make good use of your Special and Ultimate Coupons.
