ArcheAge’s February update brings costume sythesis and a tougher Mistsong Summit

It might not be the largest content update that’s ever graced ArcheAge, but the game’s February update does have a few items of note for players, including a couple of events.

The patch brought online a hard mode for the Mistsong Summit dungeon, which should give players a new level of challenge for the instance and its bosses. It also introduced the new (and controversial) costume synthesis system, which lets you level up stat-infused costumes — what we in the olden days used to call “gear.”

ArcheAge is celebrating the new update with a pair of events: one running currently that will give bonus reward boxes for defeating Mistsong bosses, and one in March that will dole out extra medals for participating in skirmish and sparring arenas.
