Forge, Tarn, and Genesis; Overgrown, Savage, Desiccated
Everyone’s favourite mutation is up this week, so expect to get loaded into plenty of Glacial Tarns while adventurers desperately seek their Frigid Dawn gear. You might also want to give Genesis a go for some quick Dense Materia farming – an already short expedition with Nature synergy and a forgiving Curse. It’s a good chance to try M3 for those who are thinking about making the leap.
Savage, Laz, and Barneys; Hellfire, Indomitable, Frenzied
A couple of good artifacts this week. If you don’t have the Endless Thirst earring, make sure you get yourself down to Savage Divide to pick one up. Tanks who don’t have Void Darkplate should face up to the joys of Barnacles and Black Powder, where your fire protection will come in handy.
Ennead, Depths, and Tempest; Eternal, Oppressive, Fiendish
There’s some synergy between the Corrupted expeditions and Void mutation this week, although Oppressive is going to make M2+ annoying for healers. We’ve got a selection of tanky artifacts up for offer and you can use your Void Protection in the Crassus event between runs.
Starstone, Dynasty, Genesis; Icebound, Barbaric, Censored
This week’s mutation rotation coincides with the Legacy of Crassus event and a small patch that addresses some important issues – such as the ability to open the Mystery Box and finally get my Sausage Painting! We also saw the devs release a video about the new Coral Divide OPR map, with news that more maps are on the way. As for the mutations, it’s a slow week with Icebound and Censored, but good luck to those of you who need to venture in for artifacts, or want to chase skins….
Legacy of Crassus
The Legacy of Crassus is a World Boss event, where the server works together to defeat two corrupted cyclops brothers, Lucanus and Decimus, and their minions. Join in to earn unique annual rewards – gear, tools, furniture items, and consumables…
Genesis, Starstone, and Ennead; Overgrown, Savage, Frenzied
We have a nice bit of synergy with the Nature mutation and the Garden of Genesis this week, plus it will make Random queue M1s a very speedy way to make some daily gold. The artifacts up for grabs are Freya’s Francisca hatchet, Blooddrinker ring, and The Wall tower shield, so if you’re missing any of those, make sure you head in and pick them up.
No event
Save the Sandwurm! Despite containing a terrifying creature that spews acid and can destroy us with a single bite, Brimstone Sandwurm Eggs are rare and precious. We have the opportunity to protect these eggs from vicious attacks by Sulfur Elementals. But don’t imagine you have to do this out of the goodness of your heart, there are rewards for successfully defending even one egg…
Tarn, Barn, and Forge; Hellfire, Indomitable, Fiendish
“Tarn at last, Tarn at last, thank God almighty we have Tarn at last”. The mutations have finally rotated around to Glacial Tarn, which I’m sure many people will be happy about. It’s also time for server merges this week, so those who are lucky enough to get some new friends will have more people to play with. Forge is going to be nice synergy with the Fire mutation, and Fiendish isn’t an awful Curse. Perhaps we’ll get some mutations done this week.
Dynasty, Tempest, and Depths; Eternal, Oppressive, Censored
So, no Glacial Tarn again this week, showing AGS do not respond to pressure from the community. To be honest, this just continues to highlight the problems with the mutation rotation system. It would have been nice if Season 7 had provided a real revamp. Anyway, get out your amethysts this week for the Void mutation, and I’m sure someone will be happy to pick up the Butcher, Lost Stopwatch or the Magnetic Gauntlets (if you can get into a Tempest that doesn’t immediately get abandoned by the group, that is)…
Laz, Savage, and Starstone; Icebound, Barbaric, Desiccated
Outcries of “No Tarn!!!” were heard echoing across Aeternum as the mutations rotated this afternoon. As players come down off their Outpost Rush high after the successful preview weekend, the cold reality of repeated expeditions fits the mood…
