New Ranger Class The new Ranger class is here! This DPS-oriented class uses chaos power to attack enemies at range with a bow and can also use its vambrace for close-quarters combat. Rangers gain chaos power through their vambrace attacks and can also use the melee strikes to knock down opponents, allowing the Ranger to create distance and leave the enemy vulnerable to a ranged assault:

Level Cap Increase

The level cap has now been increased to 50! Head into the searing heat of Cloying Wastes and level up. With the level increase comes new skills and abilities for each class as well as upgrades to existing skills for some classes. Here are the new and updated skills for each class:



The Cloying Wastes

The Cloying Wastes is a scorching desert to the west of Tritael Rift. The area was initially settled as the war efforts required more and more materials. Due to its distance from the capital and the types who migrated to the area, the Cloying Wastes is full of independent settlements and the Hakainian army has little influence in the area. Riders will need to bring together the many factions of the land—griffins, crokhoon, desert nomads, and more—together to put aside their history of troubles to unite against a much more dangerous foe.


 * Entry into the Cloying Wastes is limited to Riders who are level 39 and above.
 * To enter Cloying Wastes, you first must complete the “Hero of the Rift” questline in Tritael Rift. Then go to Poe at Maelstrom Perch in northwest Tritael Rift who will provide the “Trailing the Princess” quest. Then speak with Lamut, also at Malestrom Perch, who will then send you to Cloying Wastes.
 * There are more than 360 new quests located within Cloying Wastes
 * Riders can challenge 4 new Field Raid bosses localized within the Cloying Wastes. These are all individual raid boss encounters.  No items or quests are required to engage in battle with the raid bosses.  The respawn times for these are similar to that of heroic familiar spawns.
 * Magic Warrior Lazart – Located at the Mercenary Outpost
 * Mupadin – Located at the Crokhoon Fortifications
 * Commander Kashim – Located at the Terminus Dunes
 * Zenon the Slayer– Located inside the Haracrow Temple

New Dungeon: Temple of Sands

In the Temple of Sands, the demigod Skatrasha hid the secrets to its power in the temple and the Khabim Brotherhood wants its power for their own. You must stop the Khabim Brotherhood from gaining that power.


 * Entry into the Temple of Sands is limited to Riders who are level 44 and above.
 * The Temple of Sands can be experienced in Normal mode (solo) at level 44, Elite mode (up to 6 players) at level 44, and Heroic mode (up to 6 players) at level 49.
 * The bosses you can battle within the Temple of Sands (based on difficult level) include Mad Cynthia, Dark Mage Nibar, and Jayce the Wicked.
 * Riders who able to overcome the bosses within the Temple of the Sands may discover great treasures including new sets of weapons and armor such as the Despot’s, Capital Commander’s, Tyrant’s, and Blessed Tyrant’s gear sets.
 * The Vegarus familiar may be tamed within Temple of the Sands

New Dungeon: Fortress of Sorrows

Riders continue to track the whereabouts of Princess Lania, and that path leads to the Fortress of Sorrows.


 * Entry into the Fortress of Sorrows is limited to Riders who are level 49 and above.
 * The Fortress of Sorrows can be experienced in Normal mode (solo), Elite mode (up to 6 players) and Heroic mode (up to 6 players).
 * The bosses you can battle within the Fortress of Sorrows (based on difficult level) include Red Thorn Talos, Black Shadow Morrigan, and Executioner Mercurius.
 * Riders who able to overcome the bosses within the Fortress of Sorrows may discover great treasures including new sets of weapons and armor such as the Despot’s, Capital Commander’s, and Tyrant’s gear sets.
 * The Voknos familiar may be tamed within Fortress of Sorrows
