Trove Update Brings the Kraken to Consoles, Gets Spooky with Shadow’s Eve Event
It’s time for some ooky spooky goodness as MMORPG publisher gamigo announces Trove’s October update: Shadow’s Eve. This year, Trovians are tasked with helping an enigmatic Witch who’s turned themselves into their own cat familiar, taking them through Shadow’s Eve content from years past to help her.
Trove is bringing the terrors of the deep to consoles via ‘Rising Tides: Release the Kraken.’ Previously a PC-only update, this updated content includes an expansion to the biome’s story, a fishing expansion, and a brand new boss: the Deep Kraken!
Key features of Trove Rising Tides: Release the Kraken include:
Saltwater Sam and the Depth Stepper: Dive deep into the Long Shade adventure world and embark on an all-new questline with Saltwater Sam and his crew. By completing the questline, Trovians will get crafting access to “Depth Stepper: Deep Kraken,” allowing them to seek out and defeat the Deep Kraken itself, found within the watery Depths delve biome.
Credit Where Credit’s Due: Craft Depth Steppers at the Delve Workbench or purchase them from Gateway Gladys for 200 credits. All Trovians who have unlocked the Depth Stepper can craft it at the Delve Workbench, regardless of quest completion.
Heed the Herald of the Deep Kraken: The Herald of the Deep Kraken is a new NPC that will spawn in “The Depths” delve biomes after any boss when a Runic Depths Vault spawns. Utilizing Kraken Shell Fragments (as well as other materials), this NPC will allow players to craft 8 new collectibles (5 pets, 1 Mount, 1 Mag Rider, and 1 set of Wings), and 1 new BUFF, available for Trovians with 200+ skill in the Mysticism profession! Kraken Shell Fragments can also be found within the Runic Depths Vault and from enemies encountered during the Kraken questline!
Dust Off your Tackle-Box: Fishpools in the Long Shade now feature 16 new Depths-themed fish (6 common, 6 uncommon, and 4 rare), with the rarest of these fish can only be obtained using the “Pole of the Deep.” Once all 6 ‘uncommon’ Depths fish have been collected, you can solicit help crafting it from Murkwater Mark, on Sam’s ship found randomly throughout the Long Shade.
Deep in the Dungeon: A second Depths-themed 5-Star dungeon can now be found & completed in Long Shade worlds!
In addition to the new content drops, gamigo is also updating the tutorial and fixing known early-game bugs. This update is heavily invested in improving the first-time user experience. Don’t miss out, start playing Trove until October 29 and receive 7 Days of Patron Pass as new player. There has never been a more perfect time for first-time players to dive in and give the voxel MMORPG a try!
Players can also embark on a questline that introduces all the parts of the events in the past interwoven into a new story. The witch will need a few tasks done in order to return to her true form: collect some ripe, juicy pumpkins, find a dash of Q'rsebane, take out some werewolves-you know, some typical 'Shadow’s Eve' chores. After the quest is complete and she returns to her creepy-crawly self, be sure to meet back up with her for your reward!
