On the 10th, Vampir launched the regular season 1 for its clan content, 'Sacred Relic Defense'. Alongside this, the developers pushed out various updates, including a significant boost to the drop rates for Hero-grade T2 and T3 gear and a server shuffling process.

To be clear, the Sacred Relic Defense regular season 1 is a clan ranking competition where you must protect the Prophet's Relic from waves of monsters while racking up points for kills. The Korean region will run until July 5, while the global region concludes on June 28. Participation is limited to clans level 3 and above, with one entry allowed per week.

To help players bridge the progression gap, the drop rates for Hero-grade T2 and T3 weapons and armor have been substantially increased. This applies to field hunting grounds from 'White Sand Plains' in the Kisel Cathedral region and above, as well as Gehenna area 2 and all of area 3. These improved odds also extend to bosses in Gehenna area 2+, world bosses at level 83 Deserti or higher, and Ancient Workshop area 4 and above. Even the black market 'Dark Merchant's Equipment Summon' has been overhauled with these adjusted rates. A word of caution: these changes do not apply retroactively to existing boxes, so don't bank on those old hoards.

In addition, the 'Territory Invasion' event will run until the 17th. By taking down invasion monsters appearing in hunting grounds daily at 11:00, 15:00, 19:00, and 23:00, you can earn Invasion Coins and Radiant Invasion Coins. These can be traded at the exchange for Radiant Invasion Tokens or Head Gravedigger Dispatch Certificates. Registering these tokens in a limited-time collection provides buffs like damage amplification and bonus experience gain.

There is also a generous smattering of rewards to keep you busy. A Trinity consumption ranking event is live until the 17th, with the server-wide top player scoring a Radiant T2 Hero Equipment Selection Box. Other perks include an Invasion Support Mission event based on gold spending and equipment enhancement attempts, plus a login bonus gifting you 20 Experience Recovery Scrolls.

Finally, the developers extended the season challenge end time for the Narichan-ye Valley by 10 minutes and squashed various bugs, including the irritating issue where item crafting failed despite having empty inventory slots.
