    — HARDCORE RAIDS


    This content aren't definitive, staff will follow live feedback and results closely, and adjustments will be made if necessary.



    Greetings, dear community!


    As many of you already know, this new patch introduces one of the most challenging features we've ever created: Hardcore Raids. This mode is designed to push even the most experienced players to their limits, with intense mechanics, relentless enemies, and considerable duration.

    We’d like to share some important details about this new content:


    Current Status: Testing Phase

    Although we've invested countless hours testing and balancing this new feature, it’s impossible to replicate all the strategies, build combinations, and real-world timing that you as a community will come up with. That’s why your feedback will be essential in helping us refine and adjust the content.



    Rewards During the Testing Phase


    While Hardcore Raids are in testing, rewards will be limited and subject to change. Here’s what you can expect:

    Basic Rewards: Chests, gold, reputation, and valyrian coins upon successful completion. These values are approximate and may be adjusted based on feedback regarding raid duration and difficulty.

    Hardcore Pet Tokens: Not available during the testing phase.

    Competitive Mode Disabled: During testing, raid completion times will NOT count toward the leaderboard. Once this phase ends, all times will be reset to ensure a fair start for everyone.



    Temporary Helper Token – We Appreciate Your Support!


    To thank all players who participate in testing and help us balance this content, we’ve created Helper Tokens.

    You’ll receive 1 token for each raid completed during the testing phase.

    Once testing concludes, you'll be able to exchange these tokens for exclusive rewards, which will be determined based on the community’s effort and collaboration.

    We’re aware that some rewards might be below their intended value during this phase due to unbalanced timing, so we’re fully committed to fairly rewarding your help.




    What to Expect from Hardcore Raids


    This feature has been built from scratch with a clear vision:

    • High difficulty
    • Long duration (no specific time set, but expect significant length)
    • Exclusive and effort-proportional rewards
    • Lastly, we kindly ask for your patience and enthusiasm as you dive into this brand-new challenge. It’s a big step forward for the server and a new kind of experience that will reshape how we play.
    • Thank you for your passion, support, and for being an active part of this game’s growth!


    ⚠️TEMPORAL ⚠️ Hardcore Raids Rewards:


    The current rewards for hardcore raids are generally the same for all acts, with the only variation being the number of raid boxes granted per run. The standard rewards are as follows:

    • Reputation: 135k
    • Valyrian Coins: 60
    • Gold: 150kk

    Raid Boxes per Raid Tier:

    • Act 5: 6 boxes of each raid
    • Act 6: 3 boxes of each raid
    • Act 7: 3 boxes of each raid
    • Act 8: 4 boxes of each raid

    Additionally, you may encounter an special challenge during your runs. Completing these will give you extra rewards that go beyond the standard loot.

    — INDIVIDUAL RAIDS


    These are individual and more accessible versions of the classic raids. Each one will be located in the corresponding raid zone, functioning as a "solo TS".

    They’re designed for players who can’t form a full group but still want to earn materials from the existing raids.


    Key Features:

    • Solo-only mode. You cannot enter with a group.
    • Low difficulty, so any player can complete them regardless of gear.
    • Adjusted rewards, lower than regular raids since those require more players and offer a higher challenge.
    • Pity system included, but not shared with standard raid chests. It will have its own rewards and pity balance.
    • Available for all raids, except Laurena, as it still retains its original difficulty (pre-rework).
