Brelshaza Legion Raid Inferno Difficulty
The most difficult version of Legion Raids, the Inferno difficulty is all about proving you’re among the best of the best in Arkesia, and earning the accompanying prestige. Rather than chasing the normal rewards of gear, materials, and everything else you’d receive in a Legion Raid, Inferno rewards instead showcase your victory with titles, achievements, Stronghold Structures, and more! The Inferno difficulty of Brelshaza will require Item Level 1560, and as a piece of equalized content, a full build set-up in the Book of Coordination.
- 2 new achievements and 2 new titles have been added.
- 1 new stronghold structure and 1 toy added in the exchange shop.
- Phantom's Gaze, the trade material for Phantom Legion Commander Raid Chest will be sent to Universal Storage upon clearing the Phantom Legion Commander Brelshaza Inferno.
- Captain Token, the trade material for Captain's Reward Chest can be obtained after clearing 'Path of Glory: Captain Token' achievement.
- Brelshaza Inferno' category has been added to the partyfinder.
Unlike other Inferno Legion Raids that include every gate, Inferno Brelshaza is focused on the final two gates of the original raid— the two original gates where players encounter Brelshaza.
Lai Lai Adventure Island
A new Adventure Island has been added in the sea to the south of Punika. Lai Lai Island can be entered through Procyon's Compass on a schedule, like other Adventure Islands.

Freja Island
Freja's Island Event continues with a new activity! Toto's Ice Castle will replace the Maze Garden in the January update. Players will transform into Mokoko when entering the castle. The icy floor tiles will start to break once they are stepped on in a new minigame where players will need to break as many snowflakes as possible by using special skills. You can enter every even hour (2PM, 4PM, etc.), and once per roster per day, or earn tokens from clearing Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids. Tokens from Freja Island can be spent at the event shop, which has a variety of valuable items and holiday-themed rewards that can be earned! Special event feast items will also be available during the event. Freja Island will last until the February Update.
