Variant Dungeon:

Mount Rokkon

“On Hingashi’s westernmost isle of Shishu lies the long-venerated Mount Rokkon. Once refuge for humble monks and weary pilgrims, the holy site has fallen to a host of malevolent spirits of the most curious shapes and sizes…”

Somehow Further

Hildibrand Adventures

“In the wake of further alien-related mishaps, Hildibrand and his crew are joined by the inspector’s flat-featured clone, Brandihild. Thus reinforced, the group is even better equipped to find trouble as they continue digging into the whereabouts of PuPu’s elusive friend.”

Tool Enhancement Quests

Manderville Weapons

“Tireless in his quest, Lord Godbert has unlocked yet another secret of his ancestor’s astonishing smithing techniques. He stands ready to advance your weaponry to the next stage…assuming Gerolt is still willing to cooperate.”

New Emotes

Criterion Dungeon:

Another Mount Rokkon

Another Mount Rokkon (Savage)

“On Hingashi’s westernmost isle of Shishu lies the long-venerated Mount Rokkon. Once refuge for humble monks and weary pilgrims, the holy site has fallen to a host of malevolent spirits of the most curious shapes and sizes…”

Blue Mage Update

“Patch 6.45 will see the level cap of blue mage raised to 80, as well as introduce all-new job quests, gear, and blue magic spells. Enthusiasts of the azure arts will also find their blue mage logs updated with 5.x patch content!”

Splendorous Tools

“Through the winning combination of Grenoldt’s expertise, Chora-Zoi’s passion, and the Warrior of Darkness’s unyielding patience in the face of countless collectibles, the Boutique’s adaptive tools have garnered acclaim in every corner of Norvrandt. An artisan’s work is never done, however, and Mowen has a mind to reach even greater heights in the name of the realm’s prosperity.”
