Blade and Soul receives a lot of new content with the new update “Secrets of the Stratus Realm”. This includes dungeons, new upgrade systems, and a complete overhaul of skills. As a result, the Asia MMO becomes easier and more accessible.
Blade & Soul, the martial arts MMO from NCSoft, is getting a new update. In the “Secrets of the Stratus Realm”, you will pursue the remnants of the old Stratus rulers and explore new regions and dungeons.
Additionally, there is a reorganization of upgrade materials and a completely new system for skills and Hongmoon levels.
Blade and Soul – Top Weapons and Top Skills
In Blade & Soul, you continuously upgrade your existing weapons to always have the optimal equipment. You still need upgrade materials for this. These are now divided into tradable and non-tradable versions, with the tradable items needing to be consumed first in order to be used for upgrades. However, this makes them non-tradable.
Such items are to be distributed as rewards in the future by the developers, as they do not unnecessarily affect the game’s economy. As with every update, the upgrade costs for previous item levels are lowered to give latecomers a chance to catch up. In addition to the already known accessories, there is now also a slot for “Spirit Badges”, which enhance certain class skills.
Also new: Your skill trees are a thing of the past with the Stratus Realm update. Instead, you will receive a selection of abilities when you reach certain levels. This way, your hero naturally grows, and you have more overview when assembling your build. A detailed article on the new skill system in Blade and Soul can be found at the provided link.
Blade & Soul: The Tower is Growing!
You can immediately try out all your new weapons and skills in the new instances of the update. Among them is an old classic: the Tower of Mushin! The colossal structure was built solely to provide the legendary hero Mushin with a fitting challenge during training. Therefore, the new floors 16 to 20 are going to be extremely tough and will demand everything from you!
If you prefer to uncover the secrets of the Stratus Realm, venture into the Naryuan Sanctuary. In this ancient edifice, a vengeful demigod is said to still reside, guarding a valuable treasure. Six players can brave the depths of the structure at Normal and Hard difficulty levels.
The update “Secrets of the Stratus Realm” is already online and can be played for free.
