The shadow of Roman tyranny creeps ever closer to consuming Aeternum on January 10 through 23. Banish General Crassus’s monstrous captains for new event-specific, daily rewards. Lucanus and Decimus, brothers bound by blood and battle, now transformed to stone by the Curse of Medusa and warped into mythic monsters by the Corruption, will stop at nothing to fulfill their final command. Once feared across many lands as General Crassus’ two most dreadful champions, they continue his legacy with relentless cyclopean brutality.

Players brave enough to tear down the banners of the Republic in Brightwood, Weavers Fen, Mourningdale, Ebonscale Reach, and Edengrove can earn Cyclops Statuette Housing Items, up-leveled Named Gear, and more. Join the Development Team for a discussion around these returning world bosses.

REWARD SPOTLIGHT

Triumph over these level 70 vicious brutes for event-specific items like Cyclops Statuettes, the 19th Legion Pickaxe, Lucanus weapons, and Decimus armor. Note that players must deal at least 1000 damage to receive rewards.

CYCLOPS LUCANUS AND DECIMUS STATUETTES

Barbaric tendencies aside, Lucanus and Decimus are very intelligent creatures. Admire their fierce brilliance at your leisure with these two new Housing Items. Blood-red, searing beam blast not included.

19TH LEGION PICKAXE

Bring the might of Rome down upon Mining Nodes throughout Aeternum. This pickaxe was used by Corrupted members of the 19th Legion to mine ore for the construction of the statue honoring General Crassus. Will you mine in pursuit of public good, profit, or something far more sinister?

DECIMUS AND LUCANUS WEAPONS AND ARMOR SET

An act of violence forged into a weapon, mysterious dark metal welded into armor, and gauntlets crafted to bear the strength of a mythical beast, plus a pair of trousers that bring the entire set together.

DAILY BONUS REWARDS

Players will earn a special cache containing one of the following event-specific pieces of loot after defeating the world bosses (maximum of 3 bonus rewards daily). Players are also guaranteed to receive every reward after defeating them 8 times.

Daily rewards reset at 5 AM local time. For example, if a player grabs one special cache at 4:58 AM, they’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 AM.

STANDARD REWARDS
