Get ready, adventurers!

A sinister mystery is brewing as The Tree of Whispers finds itself in turmoil—its prized possessions, the many Heads due their debts to the ancient tree, have mysteriously vanished! Join the quest beginning January 21 at 10 a.m. PST to unearth the dark secrets behind this treachery, harness potent powers of Witchcraft, and confront the lethal rogue, Headrotten.

Wield New Powers of Witchcraft

Your journey through the Season of Witchcraft opens the door to incredible new abilities that will amplify your skills. Unveil the mystery of the Coven, a group of witches hidden in the mire of Hawezar, eager to aid the Tree of Whispers and reclaim the stolen Heads. By forging an alliance with the Coven, you will evolve your newfound powers throughout this season.

As part of the update, the Armory feature allows for seamless swapping between your preferred builds, making character customization easier than ever! Additionally, players can take advantage of new Runes, unique items, and legendary aspects to strengthen their abilities, alongside embarking on a thrilling new Pet mission!

Become an Ally of the Coven

Heed the call from the witches of Hawezar, who protect the Tree of Whispers. With the Heads now unleashed and hunting down bodies to reclaim their former forms, you are tasked to solve the mystery behind their theft. Collaborate with the witches on an enticing new questline that will unveil the chilling secrets of Witchcraft powers.

To initiate this questline, speak to the enigmatic witch Gelena in Gea Kul, and begin your dark and thrilling journey.

Mastering Witchcraft: Choose Your Path

Prepare for a unique experience as you explore three distinctive schools of Witchcraft:

- Eldritch Powers: Channel destructive magics to unleash chaos upon your enemies.

- Psyche Powers: Use defensive spells to manipulate the minds and spirits, creating horrifying visions that incapacitate foes.

- Growth & Decay Powers: Command life and death, healing your allies or spreading disease amongst your enemies.

As you gather Restless Rot by defeating hulking Headrotten and completing Whisper bounties, you'll gain favor with the witches and unlock powerful incantations.

Hunt the Horrific Headrotten

The rogue Heads are now horrid abominations desperate for bodies. As you explore Headhunt zones across Sanctuary, relish in the challenge of battling eerie Headrotten and encountering boss fight opportunities that reward you with valuable Heads to return to the Coven.

Completing these challenges will build your influence and favors within the Coven, allowing you to craft Occult Gems that enhance your Witchcraft powers beyond imagination!

New Features and Changes Await!

The Armory system is permanent, enabling players to save and load character builds effortlessly. Also, expect improvements in the Tree of Whispers, account-bound completion for class quests, and an exciting Welcome Back Booster that allows new players to jump straight to level 50!
