Greetings, Adventurers! New World Update 1.8.3 downtime will begin at 11:00 PM PT (7:00AM UTC) on February 21st. It marks the start of the Legacy of Crassus event and includes various Leaderboards fixes. [h2]LEGACY OF CRASSUS[/h2] [list] [*] The might of Rome threatens Aeternum from February 21 to March 7. Hunt down General Crassus' monstrous captains and banish the shadow of Roman tyranny in an all-new event. Following a plan set in motion long ago, Crassus's forces have invaded the southern lands to unleash the cyclopses Lucanus and Decimus. [*] Players brave enough to face these world bosses can search for portals in Brightwood, Weavers Fen, Mourningdale, Ebonscale Reach, and Edengrove. [*] Each victory nets Adventurers event-specific, daily rewards. [*] [url=https://www.newworld.com/en-us/news/articles/the-legacy-of-crassus]Explore the announcement for more details[/url].
