This next article is about the Wind of Destiny update showing up on the test servers in Korea on 11/12/2014, and is based on a blog post from here made on that date.

As there have been updates to the server that I’ve yet to really look into, this info may be out of date already. I apologize for it taking so long, since I’ve been working on other translation projects.

One more thing to note, as with the previous article. I can’t read Korean, but I can read Japanese. This blog translates from Korean to Japanese. I’m simply translating the Japanese. If there are any errors from the original Korean, let me know.

The details can be found behind the cut.

Environment Changes

1. The discovery of a new world with an unknown power.

Cygnia and Enchar

As Beritra’s invasion increased intensity, Sarpan, Tiamaranta, and Katalam collapsed under the attack and in the rubble, a new land was discovered. The Elyos and the Asmodians became wrapped up in it during the chaos.

The daevas that survived the destruction quickly met up at their own headquarters to work up plans to explore the new location, under the potential that Tiamat once concealed them with her power. It was possible that something to take advantage over Beritra could be uncovered here. Thus, the daevas moved to these locations with the intention to capture it before Beritra.

2. Throughout the new world, one by one new barriers begin to show.

The Elyos and Asmodian militaries both met powerful lifeforms in Cygnia and Enchar, and took into their possession barrier fragments. With little comprehension of these magical stones, they used them to create large barriers and began to construct their local bases and study the barrier fragments to understand them better, as these magical stones are the keys to removing other barriers.

With the use of these barrier fragments, they are able to move throughout various locations, with the exception of the sealed Palace of Knowledge.

The Sealed Danuar Mysticarium

Before he began the invasion, Beritra’s military withdrew from the Danuar Mysticarium. The remnants of the results of various experiments can be found within. Over time, the pollution within the Palace of Knowledge began to spread, and while they were once locked away within, they have begun to change, become stronger, and escape.

The Elyos and Asmodian armies have found a way to sneak in through rifts formed in the other side of the barrier stones and attempt to gather information on the Danuar and Beritra’s military.

At the same time, Beritra’s forces have also discovered the rifts in the barrier stones, and they are attempting to snatch away the materials from the Palace of Knowledge from the Elyos and Asmodians.

– To enter the Sealed Palace of Knowledge, you can talk to an NPC located in the territory in Cygnia and Enchar.

– You can track down barrier fragments by killing monsters in Cygnia and Enchar.

* Instance Dungeon: ‘The Sealed Danuar Mysticarium’
     – Number of Players: Solo Instance
     – Level: Level 65
     – Required Items: Barrier Fragment
     – Entrance Limit: Unlimited

3. Through Beritra’s invasion, regions of Balaurea have disappeared.

Beritra, for the purposes of his invasion, has been looking for hidden artifacts, and has begun a large-scale attack. There are multiple artifacts that were located in Sarpan, Tiamaranta, and Katalam and as Beritra broke the seals on them, the three continents collapsed, sinking into the sea.

The regions that have disappeared are:
* Sarpan
* Tiamaranta
* Tiamaranta’s Eye
* Katalam
* Danaria
* Idian Depths

– Both of the ships in Sarpan will be removed, as well as any characters relevant to the two regions.

– Characters who have been bound to any locations in the destroyed regions will have their bindings reset. Elyos will be changed to Sanctum and Asmodians will be changed to Pandemonium.

– Scrolls for the removed regions will no longer be functional. Any scrolls in your possession can be sold at the purchasing value.

– The following missions will be removed from the regions: general, growth, and war quests will no longer be valid.

– Various instance dungeons will be removed from the game as they are part of the areas that have disappeared:
     * Argent Manor
     * Elementis Forest
     * Muada’s Trencher
     * Satra Treasure Hoard
     * Steel Rose
     * Steel Rose
     * Steel Rose
     * Danuar Mysticarium
     * Legion’s Danuar Mysticarium
     * Igdel Research Base
     * Void Cube
     * Legion’s Void Cube

Space-Time Rifts

1. Cygnia and Enchar have seen space-time and chaotic rifts open.

– Space-Time rifts will allow for travel to the opposing race’s lands.

– Chaotic rifts will appear systematically, and will appear less frequently than space-time rifts.

– The outskirts of chaotic rifts will have strengthened monsters. To defend against them, high-level guard NPCs will also appear. There will be a special reward for assisting in this defense.

2. The currently existing rifts, and new rifts will appear in Inggison and Gelkmaros.

– While they are somewhat like the currently existing rifts, the new ones will appear for a relatively short period of time.

– At most, 6 people can use them, and they will disappear after ten minutes.

Instance Dungeons

1. New instance dungeons will appear in the regions of Cygnia and Enchar.

Mana Kharna

After Tiamat’s death, Beritra and Ereshkigal resonated with Antriksh, and Ereshkigal’s existance was acknowledged.

With the intention to gain the relics of the Dragon Emperor, Beritra reached out to Ereshkigal, and on the outside appears to be planning to save her and set her free.

[Note: I know that the documentation for Aion has Ereshkigal listed as male, but the source I’m translating from is using ‘kanojo’ – ‘her’.]

Beritra’s real concern is not Ereshkigal’s freedom, rather unsealing the artifacts, and Ereshkigal has the knowledge to locate the whereabouts of these artifacts. As such, Ereshkigal also has high suspicions to Beritra for this reason.

The daevas have also since acquired intel to make them aware of the fact that Beritra plans to seek out Mana Kharna in an attempt to find these artifacts. As Beritra knows of these attacks, Orissa, Fregion’s guardian and Ereshkigal’s assistant, has been dispatched to defend it from their attack.

– To enter Mana Kharna, you will need to speak with an NPC. In Cygnia, they’re located at the Shrieking Lava Valley, and in Enchar, you can find them at Scream of the Dragon Emperor.

– Defeating the boss of Mana Kharna will also provide Glory Points.

Skills

[Note: HUGE apology, as I’m terrible at remembering skill names! And even there, I really only know the skill names for Templar, since that’s my main class. I will be using the Japanese skill names in this, and with some help, I can go in and update them at some point.]
