One of the most fearsome fighters of the orc tribe - Vanguard Riders - rush at full speed to Elmoreden. Can you hear the roar of their tamed lions? We are glad to share the news: in less than a month, on March 2, the Vanguard update will be installed in Lineage 2 Essence. It will include patches released in Korea from July 21, 2021 to November 10, 2021 inclusive. We are waiting for: a new class Vanguar Rider, rebalance of three more archetypes (summoners, mages, and archers), the permanent possibility of changing the class, new territories of the Goddard region (Hot Springs, Gord's Pass, Morgos' Military Base, and Xillenos Fortress), new dungeons (Dream Dungeon and Training Dungeon), a new evening Balok Lord raid, a world auction, and much more. Patch notes for the EU region will be published on the eve of the update release, but if curiosity is eating at you now, you can get acquainted with the translations of Korean patch notes for the specified time: August update September update October update November update Let us remind you! Not necessarily everything that is presented above will be included into the expected update. The development team responsible for regional versions can change any content at their discretion or remove it altogether (however, Essence has very few regional differences). However, based on these articles, you can get the big picture of the long-awaited update. *The current version on Live servers includes patches from March 17, 2021 to July 14, 2021.
The update brought not only a lot of new content, but also the removal of some outdated one. Resources to replenish the Random Craft bar will be removed from the game on March 30th. Check out the list of items to be removed: Drained Stone of Purity & Drained Stone of Purity Sealed; Drained Enria Sealed; Drained Asofe Sealed; Drained Thons Sealed; Ancient Resources Sealed; Old Unknown Resources Sealed; Old Shining Resources Sealed; Old High-grade Resources Sealed.
