World Bosses – Additional Spawns for Bellandir and Tevent
Thank you for your patience as we worked on the recently occurred issues with world boss encounters. We understand your frustration. To ensure players can experience these encounters again, there will be a limited-time event from December 12, 2024, to January 9, 2025.
During this event, world bosses will spawn twice at their regularly scheduled times – once in peace and once in conflict. The additional spawn will occur at 6:00 PM (server time) and the regular spawn will continue to occur as scheduled at 8:00 PM. Good luck, adventurers!
Lifestyle Content – Cooking
- New cooking contracts can be completed through contract managers.
