Revamped Progeny of the Apocalypse

This update will unleash a more challenging version of the Progeny of the Apocalypse EQ. While the quest structure will remain the same, there are a few key differences. For one, the A.R.K.S. Support System will be more difficult to raise. On Extra Hard, players will face even more powerful bosses with intensified attacks.

 

Clear the quest for a chance to receive the new ★13 “Ray” Weapon series! These will also be available in new collection sheets, requiring items like a Psycho Wand or Ely Sion to complete.

 

New Story Events
