Dragon Nest Gets New Content Update

Dragon Nest has released its latest update, telling the story of Arendel's Destiny.

At long last, evil scientist Jasmine has been defeated. Her clone army has been vanquished and Altera is now washed clean of her poisonous influence. Good and gentle folk from Ironwood Village and Mana Ridge to Saint's Haven are ready to heave a sigh of relief and return to their daily routines... but dark clouds are rumbling on the horizon.

Time has finally caught up with the beautiful Elf Queen of Arendel and she has begun to grow weak and worn, as does Arendel’s Tree of Life. It is a time of great unrest for the elves as they choose their next queen. To make matters worse, word has arrived that the dastardly Apostles have set their sights on this woodland paradise. It is up to the players to travel to the land and prevent the tide of evil from swallowing it whole.

Dragon Nest Gets New Content Update

Nexon America released the first update of 2014 for Dragon Nest. The update includes:

  • 3rd Abyss Expansion zone: Jasmine’s Base
  • Desert Dragon Nest: Hardcore mode
  • New Talisman System

Players who have reached Level 50 and above can access the 3rd Abyss Expansion, which includes the story of Jasmine’s discovery of an Ancients’ ruins and it’s power. Over 20 new quests have been added to challenge players within the 3rd Abyss Expansion.

Dragon Nest Kicks Off "Blackboard Jungle" Event

Love teaching? Love getting bribed? How about you combine your two favorite activities and participate in Dragon Nest's Blackboard Jungle event! In this new event from Nexon, players will compete to become the greatest mentor of all by taking on the most students by February 17, 2012. The top 10 mentors with the most alumni by this time will receive a whopping 50,000 scales, while the next top 89 mentors will receive a still impressive 25,000 scales.

In order for a pupil to qualify as an alumni, the mentorship must be established before the player is level 15, and the mentorship cannot be broken until the pupil reaches level 40. All players who 'acquire' at least two alunmi will win a pile of Item Protection Jellies for their efforts. The maximum reward from this, however, is a 50 jellies for three alumni.

Dragon Nest launches Theater of War: Act Two

New PvP modes and PvP updates are coming to Dragon Nest in their latest update, Theater of War: Act Two. For players no longer content with slugging it out in spammy 8v8 contests, Dragon Nest is introducing a new 3v3 ladder mode for you to show off your organized PvP prowess. Also introduced in this patch are two new modes: Free-For-All mode and Protect mode. Free-For-All mode is pretty self-explanatory, with Protect mode being something of a Dragon Nest spin on the "Protect the VIP" concepts from other games.

You can read the about the new PvP modes being introduced on the Dragon Nest Website!

Dragon Nest Unleashes the Hellhound Update

Starting today, Dragon Nest players will get to experience a new end-game nest encounter, a ghoulish new PvP mode and a variety of Halloween-themed in-game events as part of the game’s October content update. Here are the details:

  • Cerberus, a monstrous three-headed canine and guardian of Hell, has been released from the Abyss. Fight him in the new Cerberus Nest dungeon for some epic loot.
  • The new “Ghoul Mode” is now available in the Arena channel. It can be played on the PvP map “Silent Square.”
  • There are new Halloween events! Players can earn Halloween coupons by hunting Pumpkin Ducks in dungeons, and then redeem them for a variety of wearable pumpkin helmets. In the Dragon Vault, players who want to get into the spirit of the Halloween season will have a wide variety of new costumes to choose from.
