New Challenger Awaits: Empress Zhou in New World

Savvvo's Avatar by Savvvo

The next wave of the “Expeditions Unleashed” event is now live in New World: Aeternum, introducing an overpowered Empress Zhou into the open world! Empress Zhou will be exploring throughout Aeternum up until September 15, and can be identified in your world map by a large skull icon.

By grouping up with other players and taking down Empress Zhou, you’ll get the chance of receiving a handful of unique rewards, including:

  • Normal Reward Box (Unlimited per day)
    • 100%: 1 Weapon, Armor, or Jewelry piece
      • 66%: Gear Score 700 Procedural Weapon or Armor
      • 33%: Named Legendary Gear Score 710 Item
    • 100%: 2–3 Level-appropriate Potions
  • Bonus Reward Box (3 per day)
    • 100%: Named Legendary Gear Score 710 Item
    • 100%: 1 Obsidian Gypsum
    • 100%: 25 Dark Matter
    • 25%: Named Legendary Gear Score 725 Weapon (Taiyings Heart Ice Gauntlet)
  • 10%: Jaeger Skin Set Box (1 per week)
    • Contains 1 piece of the Jaeger Set:
      • Jaeger’s Cunning (Head)
      • Jaeger’s Spite (Chest)
      • Jaeger’s Pluck (Hand)
      • Jaeger’s Grit (Legs)
      • Jaeger’s Advance (Feet)

There is also a new “pity system” implemented to prevent unlucky streaks, guaranteeing the following after opening 12 bonus reward boxes:

  • 100%: 1 Named GS 725 Weapon (if not already earned that week)
  • 100%: 1 Jaeger Skin Set Box (if not already earned that week)

Good luck on your adventures throughout Aeternum!
