[Sparkle]

About 2000 years before the start of ArcheAge, during the Hidden Era, twelve expedition members came together in the capital city of Auroria to start a journey which eventually led to their own demise. The first one to fall was Naima, a skilled dancer from the Misac Tribe.

• The new skillset, Spelldance is added.
• Spelldance is a skillset that represents Naima, one of the twelve members of the Expedition. The skillset is based on graceful dances which exude healing powers on the battlefield. Naima's moves make it obvious that she was a dancer from the Misac tribe.
• The skillset uses unique skill stacks called Happy and Sorrow. Using skills that buff allies will increase your Happy stats, and using skills that are harmful to enemies will increase your Sorrow stats. The stacks you gain will affect the effectiveness of your skills.

[Sparkle]

It is rumored that a powerful demon, possessed by the chaos and turmoil of the world, discovered the lost ruins of Serpentis.
When the demon pulled out its pain from the wounds inflicted by Serpentis, this suffering took the shape of a “black thorn”.
As the Black Thorn started looking for sustenance, the demon created mighty beings to guard this prison, and hearsay spread far and wide about this place.
Those who dreamt of wealth and glory headed for the Black Thorn, captivated by the rumors. But they were unaware of their doom, for they might become the thorn’s feed themselves.

• A new dungeon, "Black Thorn Prison," has been added.
• The Black Thorn Prison is the first growth dungeon where you need to grow the dungeon up to level 12. The higher the level of the dungeon you complete, the more your rewards will be.
• In order to level up the dungeon, you must use the "Black Thorn Enhancer" on the "Black Thorn Key" that can be acquired as a dungeon completion reward to synthesize and enhance the latter item. This will create a Black Thorn Lock on the dungeon entrance through which you can choose and challenge a dungeon level.

Dungeon Info

• Allowed Team Members: 5
• Min Entry Level: Lv55
• Allowed Daily Entry: Once (can enter up to 3 times by using Reset Entries)
• The Black Thorn dungeon's growth level resets every week on the maintenance day and all Black Thorn Keys and Black Thorn Enhancers in your Bag will disappear.

Dungeon Structure

• You will start from the "Thorn Lock Room," the protection area of the Black Thorn Prison where you can select and challenge a dungeon level. This room will be randomly connected to one of stage 1 rooms (x3) or stage 2 rooms (x3).
• The dungeon consists of 2 boss stages and each stage boss appears randomly.
• Upon defeating a stage 1 boss, you can return to the Thorn Lock Room and the entrance to the stage 2 boss room will open.
• Once you defeat a stage 2 boss, you can complete and exit the dungeon.

Available Rewards

• The reward gradually increases depending on the level of the Black Thorn Prison completed.
• You can also acquire EXP rewards by completing related weekly quests.
• Additionally, you can defeat a boss to acquire "Abyssal Crystals" and many other items, or defeat a specific boss to acquire the "Disciple's Equipment Chest."​

Ghost Ship and Delphinad Ghost Ship Revamp​

The ghost ship and the Delphinad lost their will as they were greatly affected by the Abyss's power. They were blinded by lust and started to target ships in the waters closer to land than before.

• The weakened ghost ship appears in the "Castaway Strait" only.

The Akasch, who made their appearance in Erenor, had a great impact on the Delphinad. The Delphinad, dominated by the Abyss's power, became much stronger and it has been sighted in the waters close to land.
Losing their will to fight under the domination of the Abyss's power, the ghosts tried to find a way to survive and suggested the pirates to form an alliance.

• To help the pirates, the ghost ship underlings open a Worldgate on the Growlgate Isle every time the Delphinad appears.
• The Delphinad Ghost Ship appears on "Halcyona Gulf" at 9 PM, 4 times a week.

• Added Shadow Merchants to Two Crowns and Solis Headlands.
• Added quests to reflect the changes to Ghost Ship and Delphinad Ghost Ship.​
