On June 17, Raven 2 rolled out an update alongside the '[Grand Festival] Special Mission 2'. It is a straightforward affair: simply cull 5,000 monsters each from the 'Humanoid, Beast, Spirit, Demon, and Undead' types. Each completed mission grants you three selection boxes for monster codex materials of that specific type.

While you are at it, do check out the growth buffs and events running in tandem. The regions 'Synerim, Akehon, Alteia, Rungard, and Balton Empire' are now graced with Hunting and Growth Blessing buffs. The Hunting Blessing provides 'Accuracy +5, General Monster Damage +3, and General Monster Damage Reduction +2', while the Growth Blessing dishes out a '50% EXP bonus and 100% Gold bonus'. These buffs remain active until 4:59 AM on July 1, while the Abyss EXP boost event concludes earlier at 4:59 AM on June 24. For the Abyss floors 1, 2, and 3, you get a 100% EXP boost, while floor 4 receives a 50% boost.

For those braving Abyss floors 3 and 4, there is a bonus event for 'Abyss Soul Boxes' running until 4:59 AM on June 24. Slaying specific bosses will net you two boxes instead of one. Targets include Wandering Knight Baden and Voodooist Kenis on floor 3, and Mother of the Pack and Silent Fairy Tirabel on floor 4.

Furthermore, the seasonal talisman 'Blacksmith's Charm' has been refreshed, and crafting limits have been reset, meaning you will need to craft your charm anew. The crafted item will remain functional until 4:59 AM on August 5, which is also the deadline for crafting. Keep in mind that the gold cost for 'Alchemical Prediction' is discounted until 4:59 AM on June 24. For more granular details, head over to the official Raven 2 community site.
