NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER

Illium Intro

UTC: Available starting December 20 at 12:00 AM

Illium has arrived, using powerful crystal magic and mechanical creations!

As a member of the Verdant Flora race, Illium and others of his kind hid themselves in the deepest parts of Grandis in order to avoid their enemies and live in peace.

Fate has a funny way of interfering with someone's life and Illium is no different. Forced into action due to events outside their control, Illium and the other survivors evacuate their sanctuary and are forced to search Maple World to find the Ancient God's Sanctuary.

You will begin your adventure as Illium in the Hidden Flora Village, which is located in Grandis of Savage Terminal. This is where Illium and others of his race are taking refuge and living in relative harmony.

Once the story quests take Illium and his friends out of the Hidden Flora Village, there is no way to return.

Illium is a great mechanic. He is exceptionally skilled with metals and is accompanied by a companion named Ex.

Illium is skilled in the ways of magic, utilizing crystals. He uses Mage equipment and his main stat is INT.
