The Deep Dragon: Content Preview 
Hello Hunters, 中文版在下方的帖子中
We’re sharing an early Content Preview of our next expansion: The Deep Dragon. This update brings a new high-pressure PvE experience, new progression milestones, and brand-new loot designed for endgame builds.
The Deep Dragon content expansion arrives on January 27.
This preview shows what’s coming, what you’ll be able to do on day one, and what may still be tuned before release.
What is The Deep Dragon?
The Deep Dragon is a PvE-focused content centered around unstable rifts and deep dungeons where survival matters. Runs are designed to be compact, intense, and rewarding, with danger scaling as you push deeper.
Inside The Deep Dragon you’ll be able to:
Open a Deep Lobby and stabilize your run
Enter Deep Dungeons / Rifts (Solo) for a focused, high-risk run
Complete the session and claim rewards based on performance
Dragon Protocol (3 Players • +15% EXP)
Alongside Solo Rifts, The Deep Dragon introduces Dragon Protocol, a coordinated mode built for 3 players.
Grants +15% EXP as a bonus for running it as a team
Designed for players who want a faster, more social way to push content
If you enjoy teamwork and efficient progression, Dragon Protocol is where you’ll want to be.
New Choice: Pick Your Side
With The Deep Dragon, you’ll face a new allegiance decision:
For The Queen
For The Abyss
This choice is more than flavor, it represents your path going forward and will connect to progression and future content tied to The Deep Dragon storyline and World Rivals.
-New Loot: 12 New Items
The Deep Dragon introduces 12 brand-new items, designed to support endgame builds and give your gear choices real weight.
-Sacred Items (Level 1000+) Class Requirement
To protect item identity and keep high-end progression healthier, Sacred items for level 1000+ will require the correct class to equip.
This is intended to:
Improve balance at the top end
Preserve class uniqueness
Reduce “everything fits everyone” meta at level 1000+
-Phantom Halls New Area: Coming Soon
Phantom Halls is getting a new area as part of this update.
-Loot, Rewards, and Progress
The content expansion includes rewards designed to make each clear meaningful:
Crystalia progression tied to performance and milestones
Deep Chests with escalating commitment and escalating rewards
Unique items earned through pushing deeper into the system
-Balance & Tuning
The Deep Dragon is not a “free farm” zone. Expect:
High incoming damage
Punishment for greedy choices
Runs where stats and build decisions matter
We’ll continue tuning based on real gameplay data to keep it challenging without feeling unfair.
This is a Content Preview, not final patch notes. Some numbers may change during final tuning, but the core experience and content scope are set.
Launch date: January 27.
See you in the Rift
