Legacy of Crassus
The Cyclops are Back!
Winter Convergence is over and Crassus is back, over a month earlier than last year. We speculate this is to make room for the new Year of the Dragon event that may possibly come up in February to coincide with Chinese New Year. Legacy of Crassus starts on January 10th, at 6pm Delos server time, and will run until January 23rd.
There are three new items to collect: two Statuette housing items and a new GS675 Pickaxe. The 9 Named items and weapons with the same names as last year have been upgraded to the new system, and Dark Matter replaces Umbral Shards.
It looks like we’re not getting a chance at any craft mods this year, so those who were hoping Adamant and Harden Crystal might be added to the pool will be disappointed.
The “Brimstone plus Greater Aeternum” loot pool looks to be a ragtag selection of mostly 625 locked gear. Boo!
At least there’s a bit of a reward for those who fight beyond their three daily bonuses, unlike the Winter Warrior which gave absolutely nothing after three fights.

Greetings, Adventurers!
The shadow of Roman tyranny creeps ever closer to consuming Aeternum on January 10 through 23. Banish General Crassus’s monstrous captains for new event-specific, daily rewards. Lucanus and Decimus, brothers bound by blood and battle, now transformed to stone by the Curse of Medusa and warped into mythic monsters by the Corruption, will stop at nothing to fulfill their final command. Once feared across many lands as General Crassus’ two most dreadful champions, they continue his legacy with relentless cyclopean brutality.
Players brave enough to tear down the banners of the Republic in Brightwood, Weavers Fen, Mourningdale, Ebonscale Reach, and Edengrove can earn Cyclops Statuette Housing Items, up-leveled Named Gear, and more. Join the Development Team for a discussion around these returning world bosses.
REWARD SPOTLIGHT
Triumph over these level 70 vicious brutes for event-specific items like Cyclops Statuettes, the 19th Legion Pickaxe, Lucanus weapons, and Decimus armor. Note that players must deal at least 1000 damage to receive rewards.
CYCLOPS LUCANUS AND DECIMUS STATUETTES
Barbaric tendencies aside, Lucanus and Decimus are very intelligent creatures. Admire their fierce brilliance at your leisure with these two new Housing Items. Blood-red, searing beam blast not included.
19TH LEGION PICKAXE
Bring the might of Rome down upon Mining Nodes throughout Aeternum. This pickaxe was used by Corrupted members of the 19th Legion to mine ore for the construction of the statue honoring General Crassus. Will you mine in pursuit of public good, profit, or something far more sinister?
DECIMUS AND LUCANUS WEAPONS AND ARMOR SET
An act of violence forged into a weapon, mysterious dark metal welded into armor, and gauntlets crafted to bear the strength of a mythical beast, plus a pair of trousers that bring the entire set together.
DAILY BONUS REWARDS
Players will earn a special cache containing one of the following event-specific pieces of loot after defeating the world bosses (maximum of 3 bonus rewards daily). Players are also guaranteed to receive every reward after defeating them 12 times.
Cyclops Lucanus Statuette – Housing Item
Cyclops Decimus Statuette – Housing Item
19th Legion Pickaxe – Pickaxe
Wrath of Decimus – Great Axe
Hoplites Great Blade – Great Sword
Sagittar of Lucanus – Bow
Vesuvius – Fire Staff
Galea of Lucanus – Medium Helm
Cuirass of Decimus – Heavy Chest Armor
Fists of Decimus – Heavy Gauntlets
Braccae of Lucanus – Medium Legwear
Hobnailed Boots of Lucanus – Medium Boots
Players will also get:
1 Obsidian Gypsum
15 Dark Matter
Daily rewards reset at 5 AM local time. For example, if a player grabs one special cache at 4:58 AM, they’ll be able to earn another at 5:01 AM.
STANDARD REWARDS
Players will receive one of the following rewards each time they fell Lucanus and Decimus. Unlike daily bonus rewards, players can slay the world boss multiple times in one day for additional rewards.
Each victory rewards players with either:
A random weapon or armor piece at their level (90% chance)
A special Named item from Brimstone Sands or greater Aeternum (10% chance)
Players will also get some level-appropriate consumables (health, mana, etc.)
Thanks for your support! We’ll see you in Aeternum.
