Wemade and developer Madngine have rolled out an update for their MMORPG, Night Crows, on the 23rd to mark its 3rd anniversary. This milestone brings a new melee class, the Gauntlet, and the Talasion region, a fresh source for armour crafting materials. To keep things tidy for newcomers, they’ve also opened the independent server, Philippus, accompanied by a slew of anniversary events.

The new Gauntlet class is a bit of a chameleon, boasting two distinct stances: the Taesan stance, built for those long-haul slogs, and the Yusu stance, perfect for diving deep into enemy lines and cutting off their escape routes. You’ll need to swap between these on the fly to keep your combat strategy sharp. Then there’s Talasion, the 'City of Water', a place teeming with riches and peril. It’s the primary spot to farm Amasil, the vital ingredient for crafting Coifs—a handy bit of headgear that, mercifully, doesn’t shatter if an upgrade attempt goes pear-shaped.

The Philippus server is staying isolated from the existing ones for at least a year. It’s a solid choice for fresh players looking to build their strength without being trampled by veterans. If you clear the Philippus guide missions, you’re looking at a bounty of up to 150,000 Mystic Diamonds, Clemens' Coupons, and guaranteed legendary-grade items. Plus, the server-exclusive dungeon lets you gather Philippus Tokens, which you can trade in for your first legendary skill tome selection chest or mythical mount and weapon appearance boxes.

To celebrate the 3rd anniversary, Night Crows is throwing legendary-grade items at anyone willing to play along. Until May 7th, you can exchange 3rd Anniversary Tickets—dropped by monsters—for legendary mounts, weapon skins, and elements. If you’re feeling lucky, there’s a roulette event running until May 14th where you can spend 3rd Anniversary Coins for a crack at a legendary glider box.

On top of that, Clemens’ 3rd Anniversary Gift event runs until May 14th, dishing out various rewards for completing missions. Finish the whole lot, and you’ll walk away with a Clemens’ Platinum Coupon Box and an All-in-One Legendary Challenge Box. They’ve also squeezed in a 'hot time' event daily from 8 PM to midnight, boosting your XP and gold gains, alongside a scavenger hunt where finding all the Golden Crows in the field nets you a commemorative mount. Finally, just by logging in before May 21st, you’ll pocket more Clemens’ Coupons and tickets to challenge for legendary weapon skins.
