Guide: How to adapt to the lv 59 changes

[Doper]

Welcome to a new experience arkana

But now that it is here you might be wondering, what now and where to start ? This guide will try and explain to you all what is new in this patch and will try to guide you towards a good clean end result. Here is some music to accompany you reading this guide Youtube Music link

First of all let's start with the basics and that is where to find all the new stuff. Most of the new "places" and "new npc's" are found in mereholt, bitterstone base. Here are there locations with screenshots.

You might also have heard about the new Pvp ground Amara 

Amara

Ah, yes the "new" pvp zone, old veterans might remember this map as viledon. For the moment there is only one way to enter Amara and that is by going to the long range portal at barbiron and there you will see the new destination Amara and a fee of 35s. The following pictures will explain most of the Amara map.

There are also four old world bosses back. Be warry these world bosses are extremely strong and you will need some people(atleast two tanks and a medic with some dps). Here are the hp stats on the bosses

Helios, Cairn, Behemoth all three have  25 million Hp. Asmodeus has 40 million Hp. all three bosses are unsoloable they do like phreak says "Tons of damage".

This is not all yet there have also been some changes to the Pvp system and how that dungeons function.

 

Dungeons and Battlegrounds

Now you might be wondering what changed to the dungeons, well first of all you will only be able to enter the new dungeon, if you have a new item called hardmode passcards

Now you get these hardmode passcards by doing one of the following

- Daily quests

Each day you will get three quests that will make you go arround the world and kill certain mobs. These quests will give you one hardmode passcard and the mereholt quest will give you  an extra safeguard box.

-PvP and bosses

Another way to get hardmode passcards is by going to battlegrounds and completing a quest you will automatically get once you enter a bg. This quest is only possible to be done in that bg and you can't get multiple's of them, so make sure you finish it. It rewards you with 1 hardmode passcard and a safeguard box. Also you will get one extra safeguard box if you win the Bg. Bosses(Omega, Ancient giant and asmodeus) will also drop 0-2 hard mode passcards  when killed. a second nuclear bunker has been added.(note that it says 40-54 this is just a visual bug)

The dungeon itself is called hard mode drasilmarch or for short HD. It is just a revamped and upgraded drasilmarch for the lore loving people here is some backstory to why the arkana's might be returning to drasil.

"4 years ago the first time that the arkana armies walked through the swamp called batrachian lakes they were there to kill frog like beings,but they forgot that they were infused with outer world technologies so when the arkana thought they had won the fight against the batrachians not only did they came back alive but they also got stronger but they also supposedly made a machine that could destroy the world well it's up to you, "your name" to save the world now once more from these frogs "

although this is a guide I will not spoil too much about what is hidden in the depths of this "new" Dg. That is for you to explore. But here is a guided map in case you get lost. Follow the yellow and then the red parts

Now in this HD you will find crafting items. Which will be used to craft your own gear once you have enough, here is  a picture of some of the crafting materials

 

Crafting your own gear

We have finnaly arrived to the part where you will learn to craft your own gear. First of all you will need to go to HD to get yourself the needed materials. Then you will have to go to the new crafting in npc(Julia) in mereholt (picture at the beggining). Then if you would talk to her you will see this dialog box pop up 

As you can see I have drawn a yellow circle arround the manual. there you can see what crafting items and how many you need. Crafting an items will take crafting items and a tiny fee of gold

also ancient relics and novelty items finnaly have a use, they are used to make lv 55 Hp/Sp tradable pots.

Now this should be enough info to get everybody started, GO and make your faction proud. But first...

But don't forget
