As promised, Lost Ark’s got one more update for players before the end of the year as the second part of the December patch has arrived. “The Ivory Tower Abyssal Dungeon, new Elixir System, and some special winter sales arrive in the second part of the December Update,” Amazon says.
“The Ivory Tower is a new 4-player Abyssal Dungeon located in Voldis, which has 4 gates. The entrance Item Level is 1600 for the Normal difficulty and 1620 for the Hard Difficulty. The rewards include Honing Materials (Refined Protection Stones, Refined Obliteration Stones, Radiant Honor Leapstones, Honor Shards), Gold, special hidden rewards, and materials for the new Elixir system, such as Elixir of Wisdom and Energy of Wisdom. To enter the Ivory Tower of Chaos, players will need to complete the pre-requisite quest Adento’s Legacy.”
As for the Elixir system, it’s essentially a gear-imbuing mechanic whose component elixirs are acquired through endgame content and then refined and added to player gear. Better still, the system launching today is caught up to the Korean version. “We’re also excited to announce that we will be bringing changes to the Elixir system when they launch, alongside the release of the changes in Korea,” the team writes.
