Blade & Soul's New Expansion Silverfrost Mountains Hits This Wednesday
NCSoft West's Blade & Soul (check our our impressions of the game here!) is in for a major update this week as the game launches the Silverfrost Mountains expansion pack on Wednesday, March 23. Servers are set to go live at 9 AM ET.
The expansion adds a plethora of updates - 8 new dungeons, level cap raised to 50, Hongmoon (high tier) skills available for unlocking, 2 new raids, a new open-world PVP map where players can compete for and mine soulstones and moonstones (special materials), and a special Grand Harvest Square server event that's only available during certain times, so players will want to participate when they can!
Big upgrades to clan and clan crafting will also be available. There's a new capital city to hang out in and new zones to level up and explore as well.
Our Take
This is a massive, massive expansion to the existing game. While the last patch gave players some interesting content with the Warlock and additional high-end content, this expansion is all about the endgame with a raised level cap and tons of stuff for high level players to do and explore, both in PvE and PvP. I'm eager to dive back in and take my Destroyer to level 50 and take on some snakes, drakes, and yeti!
