What’s New in Wilds of Talandre?

  1. Talandre Zone
    The expansion’s flagship addition is the Talandre region, a high-level area unlocked at character level 55. Players will tackle new story quests, field bosses like the Temple of Truth, and dynamic events. The zone will expand post-launch with additional archbosses and dungeons.
  2. Solo and 3-Star Dungeons
    • Solo Dungeons: Designed to help players practice mechanics before ing group content, these offer rewards for mastering enemy patterns and obstacles.
    • 3-Star Dungeons: Aimed at veterans, these require level 55 and 3,500 combat power. Five dungeons—including Cruel Witch’s Garden and Assassin Laboratory—drop Epic II gear, crafting materials, and items needed for the new Artifact system.
  3. Weapon Mastery Overhaul
    A reworked progression system lets players customize weapon skills via a node-based tree. Existing mastery levels convert into experience for the revamp, allowing deeper build experimentation.
  4. Nebula Island (PvP Activity)
    This cross-server zone mixes PvE and open-world PvP across six regions. Players grind weekly for Nebula Stones (up to 7 hours, extendable with consumables) to exchange for gear. Hourly events and boss fights encourage competition, with full loot drops in PvP-enabled areas.
  5. Artifact System
    Collect six-piece sets (Talistones, Solar/Lunar Stones) from Nebula Island and Talandre dungeons. Set bonuses grant active/ive skills, with randomized stats on some pieces. Fourteen sets are available across three rarity tiers.
  6. Lifestyle Content
    New fishing rods, 24 fish species, 10 recipes, and forageables like the Cornelian Cherry Tree expand crafting. Elixirs can now be cooked for combat buffs, while pets (Amitoi) gather materials via expeditions.
