Should you wish to explore this vast new continent, you can do so by flying from Northern Darkon 1 (Near the Gouthan Mountains) straight north. You will see a new path is available just over the mountain range there.

  • With the new continent of Shaduwar comes all new instanced Dungeons! There are 2 dungeons located in Shaduwar. Non-master players should visit the Aminus Dungeon located in the northern area of Shaduwar while master and higher level players should venture towards the Cursed Aminus Dungeon which is located near the lake in the center of Shaduwar. Make sure you're in a party!

In addition to this, if you decide to use the 'Old fashioned way' of upgrading your items, a warning message will appear should you neglect to use a Protect Scroll.

• New Masquerpets!
  • Several new masquerpets have been seen, roaming about both in the new dungeons and on the continent of Shaduwar itself.

As a result of these new masquerpets, the levels of masquerpets in Darkon 3 and the office quests related to them have been adjusted.

  • 2 new sets of weapons for all second job classes have been added to the game; Vampire Weapons and Ancient Weapons. These weapons can be found by venturing deep into the Aminus Dungeons.
