Team Update - July Update Commentary
Heroes of Arkesia,With the “Welcome to Paradise” Release Notes now live, there were a few additional topics we wanted to discuss and provide a short update on!
Future of Ebony CubeIn the August Update, we’re going to make a change to Ebony cube and how it interacts with Paradise. This change will double the rewards provided by Ebony Cube, but reduce the Cube Ticket drop rate by 50% (in all places, including the guild shop and dispatches). We think this change will make Ebony Cube more exciting to play, and will also help decrease the amount of homework content with the addition of Paradise. Please note; as some players have massive stockpiles of tickets, and others have been dutifully running cubes whenever they get a ticket, 2 tickets will combine into one ticket (with the new doubled rewards) when the update takes place to maintain a fair balance for all players.
Additionally, when this update takes place, we will also be adding the ability to convert Ebony Cube Tickets into Hell Keys through the Paradise Exchange Vendor. There are still some things up in the air that we’re considering, how it will work with different level cube tickets, whether or not there will be weekly exchange limits and other details— but we wanted to provide as early of a notice as possible to maintain transparency, in case players who normally run all their cubes want to save up a few. We’ll be doing a follow-up team update when once we get some of those of details fully locked in!
August Road/Path EventSimilarly, we’re still working to tune the details of the upcoming road/path style progression event arriving alongside the Valkyrie, but will provide an update as soon as we finalize the details on the types of rewards, along with the Item Level requirements.
2025 Swimsuit SkinsSummer is definitely heating up in Arkesia. Showing off the full line of swimsuit skins would’ve required us to add an age-gate to the website— but don’t worry, they’ll all be in-game tomorrow! You’ll be able to preview and see the full collection in the in-game store.
If you haven’t seen the full Welcome to Paradise Release Notes, make sure to check out the massive amount of new content, updates, events, and more arriving in Arkesia this week! We’ll see you in Paradise. And Hell. We wish you luck in your adventures through all the new content!
