The update introduces players to the city of Karanvale, the capital and urban heart of the game’s Sardar Highlands area, as well as an exciting new quest to obtain and repair new Mythic gear that was damaged by frequent use in ancient battles. To upgrade and harness the Mythic gear’s incredible potential, players can participate in a new PVP game mode, Shadowveil Assassination, where trickery is as important as martial prowess.
In Shadowveil Assassination, deadly assassins lurk among the populace, and players need to strike them down while leaving ordinary citizens unharmed. Groups of eight players go undercover to battle it out in the city of Karanvale for 15 minutes, or until a kill score of 15 is reached. But if any of them accidentally attacks a normal citizen instead of a disguised opponent, they’ll be taken over by Desolationist magic and respawn as an assassin.
The “Battle for Karanvale” update also introduces players to the Mad Laboratory, a new dungeon and team raid that can be challenged by players who have reached Level 55 with Level 70 talents.
