content auto translated from {from}

A new class — Duelist — has been introduced in the fantasy MMORPG Aion Classic. This magical ranged fighter overwhelms opponents with quick strikes and devastating ability combos. In battle, the Duelist uses pistols and dons magical leather armor. The special ability "Charged Shot" increases damage on consecutive critical hits, making the class deadly in the hands of an experienced player. In style and concept, the Duelist resembles the legendary Sniper from the original version of Aion.

Along with the new class, a location called Teava has been added to the game with unique rules. In this area, players can form groups only with members of the same legion, and in the conflict zone, even characters of the same race become hostile to one another. In certain areas of Teava, killing monsters triggers an anomaly, and a field quest with valuable rewards appears. The time spent in the location is limited and resets every day at 5 AM. Additional time can be obtained using the item "Teava's Time Sandglass," which drops from monsters.

In Teava, players will be able to harvest a new resource — Arcanium. This can be obtained by defeating monsters, completing quests, and gathering resources in the location. Arcanium disappears daily at 5 AM. Before that time, it can be exchanged for kinah, sparks, and other useful resources.

The update introduced new mechanics for enhancing gear. Players will now have the opportunity for a hundred percent insertion of legendary and unique rank magical stones. This allows for upgrading gear without loss of resources. Additionally, unique magical stones with special properties will be added to the game, expanding character customization.

The main PvE challenge of the update is the raid "Meditation of Tiamat." Selected elite players must defeat five bosses on the world server, while other participants protect their servers from invading raid monsters. The raid starts precisely at 10 PM on all ships in Tiamaranta, where portals will open to enter the Meditation Storage.

A new PvP activity will be the "Monster Arena" for players of level 65 and above. Two teams of three must defeat the opposing monster as quickly as possible. From the elite reward chest, players can guarantee a special shard of forgotten memories of heroic rank, as well as the shining wings of the Fate Weaver and their fragments.

The update added new gear to the game — Battle Fury Armor and Battle Cruelty Armor. When equipped, this gear grants the character a new attribute "Additional Protection," merging protection in both PvE and PvP, along with unique abilities of IV and V levels.
