Occult Crescent: The North Horn
Occult Crescent: The North Horn is the second area of Occult Crescent and will be released in patch 7.55. It is tied to the last of four stages for the Dawntrail Phantom Relic Weapons.
The North Horn is a vast area filled with ruins and secrets, occupied by dangerous monsters. Players must explore this uncharted island together in instances of up to 72 players, share information about Occult Records, and party up to grow stronger as a group and take on powerful foes.
What is currently known about The North Horn?
As of right now, we know only what was shown during the most recent Live Letter. Alongside the new field area itself, which will come with new monsters, FATEs, CEs and rewards, the maximum Knowledge Level will be increased to 40 and multiple new Phantom Jobs will be added.
What else is there to do in The North Horn?
Outside of Records, FATEs and CEs, players can also encounter Magic Pots, random treasure coffers placed throughout the area, and Fortune Carrots.
Additionally, the Forked Tower: Magic large-scale raid will become available once players progress the story. Unlike the Forked Tower: Blood large-scale raid, this one has both Normal and Extremely difficulties, with the former being tailored for the story and the latter being intended as a challenge for players.
What Rewards Are Available in The North Horn?
Alongside the rewards from random coffers, Magic Pots, and Fortune Carrots, players will also be able to earn Silver and Gold currency by taking part in FATEs and CEs or chaining mob kills together respectively. These can be spent on gear that gives bonuses inside Occult Crescent areas, and this gear can be upgraded with items obtained from chests, bought with currency, or found inside Forked Tower: Magic.
