Greetings, Adventurers!
New World Update 1.8.3 downtime will begin at 11:00 PM PT (7:00AM UTC) on February 21st. It marks the start of the Legacy of Crassus event and includes various Leaderboards fixes.
Legacy of Crassus
The might of Rome threatens Aeternum from February 21 to March 7. Hunt down General Crassus' monstrous captains and banish the shadow of Roman tyranny in an all-new event. Following a plan set in motion long ago, Crassus's forces have invaded the southern lands to unleash the cyclopses Lucanus and Decimus.
Players brave enough to face these world bosses can search for portals in Brightwood, Weavers Fen, Mourningdale, Ebonscale Reach, and Edengrove.
Each victory nets Adventurers event-specific, daily rewards.
