April 1, 2025 – Arcadion Cruiserweight Savage
- The complexity of Savage for Arcadion’s Cruiserweight will be available a week after the release of patch 7.2. Such a separation of raid difficulties is a kind of tradition to give players the time to enjoy the plot and other innovations, without turning at once to tasks of high complexity.
April 22, 2025 – Patch 7.21
- Cosmic Exploration will appear – something like the evolution of Ishgardian Restoration. You will go to the moon and together with other players will collect minerals and eliminate obstacles. After the moon, in each series of large patches, three more celestial locations will appear.

- OCCULT CRESCENT, a new iteration of content to explore the fields. Like The Forbidden Land, Eureka, The Bozjan Southern Front, and Zadnor, The Southern Horn, this activity will offer a large zone with an independent Lelening system, where even a slight level difference between you and your enemy means a huge difference in strength. It will also use a system of auxiliary professions where professions such as a bard, time and others can be equipped to use special abilities in addition to your usual set.
- Quests of the Union Society will return, in which Mamul Jah will participate.
- Hardibold will return to the Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures quests.
Arcadion Cruiserweight Tier
The second of the three levels of raid series Arcadion – Cruiserweight – will be released in update 7.2. The plot development will continue the chapter in Patch 7.0 Dawntrail, and will offer players four new tests for characters of the level of level 100.
The first of them was shown during the broadcast. The arena, stylized for a disco dance floor, will become a place for a battle with a Sheet, which has long bright green hair and fuchsic sunglasses. She uses combat mechanics inspired by disco movements. One of them visually resembles a musical spectrumanizer. There is a fence along the edges of the arena, a clash with which leads to instant death of the character.
New combat equipment
PVP: Return of Secure mode and new role -playing abilities
In Patch, 7.2 PVP mode Secure returns to Frontline on The Borderland Ruins. Previously, this mode was temporarily deleted for revision. It has up to 72 players, divided into three teams of 24 people, fight for control over the map. For victory, it is necessary to capture nodes, destroy the ancient Algan weapons and defeat rivals, gaining a tactical rating. As soon as one of the teams reaches a given threshold of glasses, the battle ends.
Players can occupy up to nine knots. If the team remains the only node in the radius for a short time, it goes under its control, increasing the growth rate of tactical rating. You can also capture enemy nodes.
At a certain moment of battle, Allagan combat vehicles appear on the field. Their destruction significantly increases the tactical rating of the team. Now, at the edges of the card, teleports will be located that move the players to the central tower.
Large-scale PVP transformations now allow you to choose role-playing abilities depending on one of the five roles:
- Rampage (tank) – attacks all the closest enemies and increases the damage they receive.
- Stoneskin II (healer) – creates a barrier around him and allies nearby.
- SWIFT (close battle) – increases the speed of movement by 4 seconds and makes the characters immune to the effects of discarding and forced attraction.
- Dervish (physical distant battle) – reduces the time of application and rollback of abilities in yourself and allies, and also increases the speed of movement.
- COMET (magical distant battle) – causes damage at the point of the meteor fall (takes time for cast, cannot be canceled.)
Players will be able to choose one of three possible role abilities in their PVP profile outside the battles and in the starting area inside large-scale PVP battles.
Changes in the Sprint and Call of Mounts
Sprint can now queue for reuse. When the action timer expires, the ability is activated automatically. The number of accumulated use will be displayed above the buff in the interface. However, there was a mistake in the broadcast: the number above the sprint icon was part of the ninth panel of the Hotbar Yoshid and did not matter.
In addition, now you can move during the appeal of the Mount. The producer and director of the game Naoki Yoshida joked that the introduction of this function took 10 years, so that the muscle memory, accustomed to the stop before the appeal.
Allagan Tomestone of Mathematics
A new type of Algan Tomstounds is added. They can be exchanged for high -level equipment, including new items shown in the presentation.
Cosmic Exploration
The Cosmic Exploration function starts in Patch 7.21 (April 22, 2025) and will become the spiritual successor to the Ishgardian Restoration from Shadowbringers. Players will go to the moon – the first of the four space locations that will appear in a series of updates for Dawntrail.
Here you have to use the professions of a collector and artisan to extract resources, clearing obstacles and performing other tasks.
To participate, it is necessary to complete the main storyline Endwalker (6.0) and pump one of the professions up to 10 levels or higher. Cosmic Exploration will have a separate inventory so as not to score the main bags.
A special interface in the form of a tablet will display currency and tasks. Concluding the missions, you will receive cosmicredites that can be spent in the basic camp, as well as lunar loans-they are used to participate in a mini-game resembling a treasure dungeon roulette.
There will be large -scale events, for example:
- Mech OPS – the pilot controls a combat robot, while other players use heavy tools to collect materials.
- Critical Mission is a sudden event during which the sky is painted in red, and asteroids begin to fall on the moon. The team should fill out an emergency scale in a limited time.
The player who has made the greatest contribution in the 24-hour period will receive the status of Star Contributor. Its hologram will be displayed in the camp, and the name will appear on the board of honor.
Field research: OCCULT CESCENT
A new type of content for studying the open world of OCCULT CRESCENT will appear in patch 7.25 (May 27, 2025). Like The Forbidden Land Eureka and the Save The Queen series, this activity will send us to the Southern Horn – a region covered with dense forests and ruins captured by monsters. In this adventure, you will be accompanied by a keteteram, which in the demonstration had a quest icon above your head.
To take part in the OCCULT CRESCENT, it is necessary to complete the main storyline Dawntrail (7.0) and pump the combat profession up to 100 levels. For those who want to increase the level of alternative professions from 90 to 100, the producer and director of the game said that the next Deep Dungeon, which will appear in Patch 7.3x, will provide such an opportunity.
There will also be an independent progression system called the level of knowledge. Having gained experience, you can increase it, but even a small difference between your level of knowledge and the level of the enemy will significantly affect the damage applied. Starting from the 5th level and higher, at death you will lose experience and, possibly, even decline in level.
A new mechanics will appear in OCCULT CESCENT – phantom professions that will allow the use of additional abilities in addition to the usual set of profession. Among the available phantom professions: bard, ranger, berserker and others. They are pumped separately from the level of knowledge, and the studied abilities can be placed on a hotbar or in the ring menu, where support abilities in the dungeons are displayed.
Critical English will return from Bozja, but along with them there will be ordinary Fate, which will allow players to participate in activities of different scale. There will also be field records that can be collected in the Collections section.
If all members of the group are within three levels of knowledge from each other, they are considered a “balanced group” and receive a bonus to the experience chain (Exp Chain). If the difference is larger, players can press the SYNC button to synchronize the level of knowledge to the required parameter. Hostile creatures with special icons on their signs will give a bonus to the chain of experience.
Forked Tower – a dungeon in OCCULT CRESCENT, designed for up to 48 players and filled with complex bosses. To enter, you need to use a special Cipher item. When 16 players activate their items at a certain point, an air node appears, which teleports them to the dungeon after a short time. If there are more than 48 players on the node, the system randomly selects those who enter the tower, but the use of the cipher increases the chance to get inside.
The passage of the history of Cresscent Isle is not necessary for entering the Forked Tower, but the developers warn that the mechanics in it will be difficult and will require tactical discussion.
When traveling around Cresscent Isle, you can find treasures, but sometimes a magic pot appears instead of them. If you offer him an elixir, he will tell you where to look for a real treasure.
Players will also be able to collect silver and gold coins, which, according to the developers, will be associated with the new system of improving weapons – phantom weapons.
In Patch 7.4x, new phantom professions are expected to add, and in Patch 7.5x a second zone will appear for research with an even greater amount of content.
