With update 8.30.0, we’re adding new Progress Missions, new Area Bonuses at the Great Hall, and a Battle Counter in Classic Arena, as well as rebalancing Champions and much more! See the full breakdown below.
New Progress Missions
We’re adding new Progress Missions to reflect all the awesome content we’ve added to the game in the past year or so.
There are 180 new Missions coming, focused on Hard Mode Dungeons, Live Arena, Cursed City, and more! You’ll be able to get your hands on rewards for finishing each Mission, with milestone rewards coming after completing 60, 120, and all 180 Missions. Completing all of these new Missions will give you a new free Void Legendary Champion - Marius the Gallant!
Marius the Gallant
Rarity: Legendary
Type: DEF
Affinity: Void
Faction: Skinwalkers
Note: You can complete Ramantu Missions and Marius Missions simultaneously, but only after completing all of the Arbiter Missions.
New Area Bonuses
We have expanded the Area Bonuses feature of the Great Hall! Now, you can also get stat boosts in Faction Wars, the Doom Tower, the Iron Twins Fortress, the Sand Devil's Necropolis, the Phantom Shogun's Grove, and the Cursed City.
Battle Counter
We’re adding a Battle Counter to the Classic Arena. It will show you how many Offense Battles you need to complete in order to stay in your current Arena Tier after the Ranking Period ends.
Note: Staying in Platinum Tier requires Arena Points, and is therefore not dependent on the number of battles initiated.
Inbox Sorting
We’re also adding a new Sorting option to the Inbox. From now on, you can sort items by the date they were received, or by their expiration date.
Renaming Rathalos Set
We have renamed and redesigned the Rathalos Set into the Slayer Set, and Rathalos Material into Slayer Scales, following the end of our collaboration with the Monster Hunter franchise. Any existing Gear or materials will be converted, and any converted resources from the collaboration will be compatible with the newly-named resources. The balance of the Gear Set will remain the same.
