NCsoft announced that Blade & Soul's first major patch Rising Water will arrive on February 10th, just shortly after Blade & Soul launched in North America last week. This major patch contains a lot of additional end game contents, including three challenging new pieces of max-level PvE content, and new ways to increase your martial prowess.
With the Rising Waters patch, Heroic(purple) dungeon Bloodshade Harbor, which is available for 6 or 4 players and whose 24-player version is Nightshade Harbor, will come to Blade & Soul and offers max-level players new challenges against the Blackram pirates, and Poharan's boss, Admiral Hae Mujin himself. The solo Heroic dungeon Mushin's Tower also opens Floors 1-7. Hongmoon Levels allow you to continue to gain experience beyond level 45, and unlock additional skill points to increase your character's strength in combat. The Rising Water patch marks the commencement of the PvP preseason.
There will be more info about Rising Waters over the next couple weeks. Let's keep close eyes on it.
