Spirit Mine Update!
The long forgotten place hidden under the ice of Aqueon - Spirit Mine - is back!
A new location - Spirit Mine - awaits all adventurers and PvP enthusiasts starting at level 24! The entrance to it can be found at Instructor Neimi in Alpia, but be careful, there are many dangers waiting for you inside!
New mechanics: Drilling. In Spirit Mine, you can use the drilling mechanic to mine resources outside of each faction's respawns with a drill. Be careful, other players may kill you! Drilling equipment can be purchased from the NPCs at your faction base in Spirit Mine, or you can buy premium equipment from the elite shop.
Spirit Mine is a permanent PvP location, which means that the confrontation between Dark and Light goes beyond Faction Wars! You can fight players of the opposite faction at any time, so be careful when farming!
Speaking of farming: In the Spirit Mine, there are Spirit Mine Souls roaming around, as well as their patrons - Bosses! It seems that they can surprise you =) Two of them are Neutral, and four more (two for each faction) - Guarding faction bases from uninvited guests.
By killing regular monsters and bosses in Spirit Mine players will earn Spirit Mine Points. Normal monsters give 1 point each, bosses give 500 points each. Points are earned for all party members who kill monster or boss.
Spirit Mine Points can be exchanged for Spirit Mine Tokens from Clasis in Alpia and spent at his shop.
Every day at 21:45 Moscow time (GMT+3) the Battle Phase begins, when the Main Crystal appears in the center of the Spirit Mine - factions need to kill it, and the faction that can defeat the Crystal (and the opposing faction) is considered the winner. Winners get an increased chance of drilling, as well as 1 Special Accessory Coin..
Remember those jewelry sets you farmed at the New Year's Eve event? Now you can use them to craft stronger and more flexible Spirit Mine rings. Recipes for the new rings are available from the Clasis (you can buy the regular rings from that event from him), but there is one catch - they require two new resources: Spirit Ore and Special Accessory Coin. The Spirit Ore can be obtained by drilling, but the Special Accessory Coin requires a little more effort: It can be dropped by neutral bosses in the Spirit Mine, and each faction member who wins the Battle Phase will receive one more Special Accessory Coin.
Good luck!
