On November 12, following Lineage 2 Essence, the Samurai Crow update was released for the main version of Lineage2. Players gained access to the Samurai class, massive class and equipment transformations, as well as new locations in the world.

In the main version of the game, several archetypes have been enhanced. Archers now deal damage based on the height difference between the attacker and the target, making them even more effective in combat on rugged terrain. Tyrant Commanders and Vargis have received altered upgrade paths and a new classification of attack skills, opening up additional tactical possibilities. Summoners of Venyo have received boosts that increase the effectiveness of their servants in battles. Wizards of Feo and Summoners of Isa have augmented their arsenal with new destructive skills.

Changes have also affected the game world: the territory of the Orc Village has significantly expanded. Fans will have access to two new locations. The first one is the Snowy Volcano, a zone for groups from level 122. Here, players will face harsh conditions and dangerous opponents with unique attack mechanics. The second territory is the Battlefield with Baluan, open to teams from level 126 and above. This is a trial for the most experienced warriors of Elmoraden.

For defeating orcs in the new zones, there is a chance to receive Ether of Chaos, collection items, and adena. However, players should be cautious: some monsters possess special abilities that can catch even seasoned fighters off guard.

In addition, the update introduced two new dungeons for solo and group play:

  • The Altar of Kalax — a daily dungeon for a single character of level 110 and above. One battle is available per day — repeated entry opens after 6:30 AM MSK. The player's decisions will determine the course of the battle, and rewards depend on the chosen path.
  • The Throne of Baluan — a weekly dungeon for teams of 21 to 35 characters of level 112 and above. Repeated entry opens on Saturdays after 6:30 AM MSK. The group of allies must defeat Baluan — the Demon of Discord.

Some skills common to all classes have also changed: the Revelation skills and Double Class Certification skills have been merged into the Honor Abilities system. It is now a flexible structure based on points, providing complete freedom of development. Players will be able to create their own play style, devise a strategy, and unlock their full potential.

Two powerful rank L talismans have become available in the game: the Talisman of Glory and the Talisman of Radiance. Each of them provides a significant boost to the character's stats. These items will be the key to achieving new heights of combat power for the most ambitious players.
