A new update for Blade & Soul, called Winds of Rage, launches on May 12 and brings with it a new dungeon called Thornwind Cavern. What can you expect in this new heroic dungeon? Read on to find out.
This is a new 6-player heroic dungeon intended for level 60 – HM 23 (easy difficulty) and HM 25 (hard difficulty). The flavor text for the Thornwind Cavern dungeon reads,
“The memory of Madun reemerges as Chundoon seeks help to bring closure to Madun’s exceptional Familiar, Uzume, who is inconsolable in Thornwind Cavern after Madun’s sacrifice. Of course—no request is ever that simple! The Inner Conclave has invaded Thornwind Vale, spreading a poisonous Dark Chi that has turned Uzume’s grief into a wild rage…”
So that all sounds fairly ominous. However, your reward for defeating Uzume include materials which you can use to upgrade to your next Legendary PvE bracelet, earring, and ring. Additionally, the Winds of Rage update also enables upgrading Overture Talisman to the Skywatch tier.
This means you can upgrade your talisman to increase your HP and Defense stats. If you’ve been holding off on doing this, now is the time to upgrade. Additionally, the update marks an end for the Daily Dash calendar. Its replacement will let you look ahead to future daily rewards. You can learn more about the Winds of Rage update here.
