CONTINENT OF THE NINTH SEAL (C9) Releases RAEBIN: The 3rd Update
-
WEBZEN announced that the dungeon-based action MMORPG CONTINENT OF THE NINTH SEAL (C9) has released its latest content update RAEBIN: The 3rd Update.
The new update introduces Raebin adventurers to Eternal Spring of Endor, a brand-new dungeon. Eternal Spring of Endor is at the most treacherous place in Raebin, surrounded by vicious monsters under the control of Nefer. C9 actionists will be tasked with defeating the monsters and discovering the secret of Water Dragon Artesia, and will be able to obtain the new Ultimate Rare materials "Woobo's Skin" and "Shining Spirit of War".
Players will also meet and defeat even more perilous monsters found near Endor Forest in Nightmare Mode. Even though the new Nightmare Mode is the most challenging yet, with items like "Pieces of Nightmare" and "Essence of Nightmare" on offer, it's definitely worth a try.
Additionally, new Ultimate Rare weapons for each class are now available with the update.
The C9 team will be celebrating this release with an in-game event, titled Tracing Dark Scout. Players will have a chance to claim many rewards, including Traces of Nightmare, Bloody Corps equipment parts, Skill Books and much more. The event will be running until the weekly maintenance on October 11th, 2016 (UTC).
Interested gamers can see more information about RAEBIN: The 3rd Update on the official C9 website: http://c9.webzen.com/.
