Halloween is upon us, and the terror of terrors--the Desert Dragon--is ready to give Altera the ultimate chill. Sealed by Gerrant and sought by lustre looters, the Desert Dragon is finally stirring from her long slumber... and she's roaring for vengeance. A slew of new gear, events, and Dragon Vault items have arrived to help you defend Altera against its latest threat!

The False Stronghold
Most of your favorite Lv. 50 (and under) nests have been upgraded to Lv. 60!

- Rewards:
- Lv. 60 epic weapons, armor, and sparks
- Special potions that can only be used in the Desert Dragon Nest
Are these monsters as tough as you remember? Challenge them and find out.
Desert Dragon Clear Event
The Desert Dragon's the most dangerous opponent to date, so we're showering the first party brave enough--and skilled enough--to clear her nest with rich rewards! Gather your friends and guildies, then venture into Zakad's desolate home.
