The team behind ROHAN 2 is preparing to release one of its largest updates to date on November 26, an update that aims to expand the game with new high-level content, new systems for upgrading gear, additional dungeon difficulties, and a new set of mythical pets, mounts, and costumes.

The new update focuses on providing progression options for veteran players while creating a new long-term endgame structure. Let’s check it out in more detail.

What Is New in ROHAN 2's Upcoming Update?

The upcoming update is set to introduce Armenes, a new endgame region designed for players who have reached level 101 and above. Enemies in this region are significantly stronger than those in previous areas and are designed for players with high combat power. The region features exclusive resources used to craft Legendary Weapons and Legendary Armor. These materials, called Legendary Upgrade Scroll Fragments, become more common when defeating higher level monsters within the region. This encourages players to challenge tougher enemies for faster material acquisition.

A new system called the Legendary Equipment Upgrade System is also being introduced. This system allows players to convert Ancient-grade equipment into Legendary-grade equipment. To perform this upgrade, players must combine Ancient equipment with the correct Legendary Refining Scroll. When the upgrade is performed, the Ancient item keeps its current enhancement level, its enchantments, and its socket attributes, while the Legendary Refining Scroll then adds a new unique attribute that depends on the type of scroll used. These scrolls can be created from Legendary Refining Scroll Fragments obtained in Armenes through combat or quests. Each equipment part has a corresponding scroll, meaning that different pieces could offer different types of unique benefits.

Legendary equipment also supports enhancement up to +25 and comes with 2 option stone slots. This creates a new endgame progression path for players who want to maximize their characters for high tier combat content.

The update also adds a 5th difficulty level to all normal dungeons. These dungeons include the Temple of Greed in the Cron region, the Battlefield of Pride, the Ancient Armory, and Ahkma Mine, while level requirements range from 91 to 97. These new difficulty levels offer increased experience gain and better rewards, and they introduce tougher enemies designed to challenge high-level characters.

The update further expands the game with new Mythical Pets, Mythical Mounts, and Mythical Costumes. Each of these categories introduces items with strong high tier effects intended for players who want stat boosts that complement the newly introduced Legendary gear system.

The new Mythical Pets include Serperia, Tigpang, and Tigrang. Each pet offers different bonuses such as increased experience gain, improved critical chance, higher potion capacity, and higher damage. The new Mythical Mounts include Earis, Alteras, and Lazeros. They provide effects such as increased movement speed, reduced skill cooldowns, improved critical damage, and increased healing from health potions. Finally, the new Mythical Costumes include Purified Armor Kyldar for male characters and Light Witch Soul Taker for female characters. These costumes provide bonuses to attack speed, cast speed, movement speed, block chance, and both health and mana regeneration.

Rewards in New Armenes Region

Armenes is designed as a challenge zone for veteran players, as monster levels begin at 101, setting the region firmly as late-game content. Players who can defeat monsters here will obtain rewards that include Legendary Upgrade Scroll Fragments. These fragments are the primary material required to craft Legendary Weapon Upgrade Scrolls and Legendary Armor Upgrade Scrolls. The drop rate increases noticeably when defeating higher level monsters, making the region structured around a risk and reward loop where players can choose to hunt enemies that are more challenging but offer better material yields.

What Is ROHAN 2?

ROHAN 2 is the sequel to the long-running MMORPG ROHAN and is developed by NEXUS in collaboration with Playwith Korea. The game combines traditional MMORPG systems with web3 gaming features, which include optional systems that allow players to convert certain in-game assets into tradeable on-chain items. Players who prefer a standard experience can play entirely with normal in-game currencies. Players who prefer web3 functionality can link their accounts to the CROSS Protocol ecosystem.

The game maintains the classic medieval fantasy setting of the original title. Choose one of 5 main classes: the Human Knight, the Dhan Assassin, the Elf Healer, the Half Elf Archer, and the Dekan Dragon Fighter. Each class offers its own approach to combat, and players can level them endlessly using in-game currency, creating a long-term leveling structure that is not bound by a fixed level cap.

The game includes open world PvP zones, guild systems, boss encounters, faction conflicts, and cross-server wars. Players can join guilds to complete co-op missions and guild quests. Cross-server play allows players to manage several characters under a single account and move between servers that fit their schedule.

The economic system of the game, called ROHANomics, uses 3 main currencies: RUBY, sRUBY, and the blockchain token $RUBYx. RUBY is the core in-game currency, and when players spend it, the spent currency enters the RUBY Vault and is later re-introduced into the economy through the RUBY Market. sRUBY is a secondary currency earned when spending RUBY. sRUBY can be converted into $RUBYx through CROSS RAMP. $RUBYx can then be traded for $CROSS, linking in-game activity to blockchain based value.

ROHAN 2 is available as a free to play downloadable title on Windows PCs and on mobile devices, including Android and iOS through official app stores. The PC version is available through the official website, and an Android APK is also provided for direct installation.

Near the end of last month, Immutable and ROHAN 2 launched an Onboarding Quest on Immutable Play to bring more players to the web3 MMO while earning platform currency Gems along the way ahead of an upcoming Leaderboard Campaign, which will feature a substantial prize pool in $CROSS tokens.
