Riders of Icarus has been updated with the Corruption of Light. Players will enjoy a higher level cap (55) with a pair of new skills to go with it. In addition, Ellora Sanctuation and Windhome Canyon have been activated. At level 49 players can enter and will find 230 new quests, 2 new Field Raid bosses, the Forgotten Shrine, new familiars as well as legendary dungeons, familiars and weapons.
Lastly, the Transcendence System has been brought on board:
The Corruption of Light update also introduces a new system called “Transcendence”. This system allows Riders to absorb identical gear and weapons to enhance and upgrade the stats of another.
How does it work?
- Riders need to acquire an identical piece of gear or weapon, and a Modest or Austere Heroic Transcending Stone.
- Upgrade levels on identical gear and weapons do not increase/decrease the bonus.
- Modest and Austere Heroic Transcending Stones can be purchase from the NPC “Narain”, Armor Merchant in Ellora Sanctuary. Legendary Transcending Stones can also drop from legendary dungeon bosses.
- Once you have an identical item and a Transcending Stone, right-click the Transcending Stone.
What does it do?
- All primary stats on the selected gear are increased by 1 or 2 points per level.
- The increase in stats is not random and there is no chance of failure.
You can read the full update notes on the Riders of Icarus site.
