A new test server patch has been released! This one contains the second area of Arcane River, Chew Chew Island, as well as the V Core Maker Mode and a few other changes. This will all be coming to the official servers on July 28!

I would like to record a tour but I haven’t finished the Road of Vanishing quest line on KMST so maybe I’ll do that later on.

Arcane River: Chew Chew Island

The new area Chew Chew Island has been added.

Colourful! Chaotic! Your journey in the second world encountered in Arcane River, Chew Chew Island, begins. When something strange has caused the river to stop flowing, you’ll need to save a village in crisis and move one step closer to the Black Mage.

After completing the Arcane River: Road of Vanishing quest line, characters level 210 or higher can access Chew Chew Island by jumping off the cliff in the Foggy Falls map.

After completing the Chew Chew Island quests as well as through hunting monsters, you can acquire the Arcane Symbol: Chew Chew Island .

. You can enjoy thrilling new battle styles in Chew Chew Island’s special maps: Air Valley and Sky Whale Mountain.
