Has everyone already sharpened their swords and cleaned their pistols? The reapers are coming back. There are new adventures on the map and the strength of monsters in certain groups has increased. The invasion is led by the Sukur Tribe - generals of the first Reapers of Death distortion.
The first week of the invasion marks the emergence of new, 12th generation equipment. Over the next two months, your main mission will be to obtain actual equipment. There already are rare and epic rings, amulets and brooches. The new items will become available on the third and fifth week of the invasion.
Thanatos's Avatar arrives on January 31st. You can fight his training incarnation (for groups of 5) or champion incarnation (for groups of 10).
Characters with no divine specializations, explored for avatar trophies (all, except God of Travels), can receive up to 6 such trophies by killing Thanatos - up to 4 from the training incarnation and another 2 from the champion incarnation.
