What this means for Raven2 players
To awaken skills, you’ll need a Skill Enhancement Stone and a Skill Awakening Stone that match the skill grade at the correct grade for their highest-priority unique skills. Since Heavenstone skills are excluded entirely, focus your material budget on the non-Heavenstone skills that anchor your rotation first.
Level 85+ players have nine new hunting grounds to work through in Walthar’s first phase — enough to sustain farming sessions while waiting for subsequent phases to open. Don’t treat it as a complete region yet; more is confirmed to follow.
