Scheduled for release on April 15, this update introduces the first-ever Shadow Raid featuring Serca, the Witch of Pain. This isn't just another boss encounter; it’s the gateway to Tier 4 Destined Tremor Gear. For players who have been grinding the ceiling of Tier 3, this represents the next major power spike and a complete refresh of our gear sets as we continue the fight against Kazeros' demonic legions.
Beyond the high-end raiding, the update leans heavily into solo-friendly progression. Two new features, Chaos Rift and Haal's Hourglass, are being introduced to provide alternative paths for growth. These additions are crucial for the health of the game, giving players more ways to earn essential materials without always needing to coordinate a full raid party. Whether you're a hardcore raider or a solo adventurer, the vertical progression floor is moving up.
Downtime for the patch is expected to begin at 12 a.m. PT (7 a.m. UTC) and is slated to last approximately five hours. Once the servers are back up, the race for Serca's first clears begins. Make sure your builds are optimized and your combat items are stocked—Tier 4 is officially here, and the Witch of Pain isn't going to go down easily.
