Raven 2's second anniversary festivities are well underway, and the party's just got even bigger with new events and content updates rolling in. Naturally, this means more chances to snag those crucial Special Mission Supply Boxes. Meanwhile, the community forums are abuzz with queries about the Zero server. Let's dive into this week's biggest talking points.

Grand Festival Daily Quests and Monster Clean-up Event Updates

Raven 2 has spiced up its 2nd Anniversary Grand Festival with fresh content. From June 4th to June 24th at 23:59, players can tackle the '[Daily] Festival Monster Clean-up' event. If your character is level 55 or above, head to Lindward, the Bard in Synerim's town, to pick up the quest. Completing it nets you a '2nd Anniversary Growth Box', packed with an 11-pull summon for Superior Armour and Familiars, enhancement stones, and Monster Hunter Coins.

There's also a bit of a content refresh. The Baltan Empire now features a new field boss, 'Melkarth, the Guardian of the Border', who appeared right after the June 4th maintenance. He drops the new Hero Heavenstone, 'Grave Bind', as loot. Furthermore, some Synerim hunting grounds have had their aggressive monsters turned non-aggressive, and certain monster vision ranges have been tweaked. For those on specialised worlds, NPC affinity systems have seen some love, with increased affinity points awarded through the gifting system.

Sharing Questions & Strategies

Q. I'm a Zero server player, any recommendations for melee classes?
A. Berserker received two nods.

Lately, the official Raven 2 community has been flooded with players seeking advice for the Zero server. Let's look at a couple of pressing questions. One user was after melee class recommendations, aiming for mid-level spending and a long-term late-game prospect. Their current pick was Berserker. In response, three players chimed in: two favoured Berserker, while one suggested Warrior. Incidentally, Berserker currently holds a solid third place in Raven 2's Meca Ranking class distribution, proving its popularity. We hope you make a satisfying choice.

Another player inquired about boosting NPC affinity. In Raven 2, increasing affinity with merchant NPCs unlocks new items, so it's a rather important mechanic. The method is straightforward: find weapon or general goods merchants, and hit the affinity button on the right of your screen. Each NPC has a wishlist; gifting them these items grants affinity points. Reach certain thresholds, and their affinity level increases. Just remember there's a daily gifting limit, so consistent effort is key.

Focus on This: Featured Events

Grab Supply Boxes and Relics with the Grand Festival Event

A new set of events has kicked off to celebrate Raven 2's second anniversary. This time around, the focus is squarely on snagging the main rewards from existing events: the Grand Festival Supply Box and Relics. All events run until 4:59 AM on June 24th.

First up, let's look at events awarding Grand Festival Supply Boxes. '[Grand Festival] Special Mission Directive' and '[Grand Festival] Proof of United Strength and Chaos' require you to clear individual missions and then claim the all-clear bonus. You'll get one supply box per completed individual mission, and five for the all-clear reward. The Special Mission Directive involves 'Completing Special Missions 40 times - Defeating 10,000 monsters in Valbarr Battleground / Tapana Canyon / Ancient Temple / Deep Swamp'. The Proof of United Strength and Chaos challenges are comprised of 'Completing Guild Dungeon 1 time - 5 Guild Attendance checks - 15 Guild Donations - Completing 1 Guild Weekly Achievement - Clearing Chaos Tower 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 times'.

Next are the '[Grand Festival] El's Relic Summon Mission' and '[Grand Festival] El's Relic Enhancement Mission'. The summon mission wraps up after using 100 Special Relic Summon Boxes, while the enhancement mission is completed by attempting to enhance relics 500 times. Complete these tasks to earn Marbles and a Dazzling Relic Selection Box.
