The Regal Halos

The Regal Halos and the future of Daily Boss content

As promised, we’ve forged even more halos for you to collect, because nothing says “I defeated a boss today” like a radiant crown of shimmering light. Today’s release adds the Regal Halo and gives collectors, completionists, and fashion warriors even more ways to shine.

Once the update goes live, head to Keswick in Battleon. You’ll notice a new dialogue option: Daily Boss Rewards.

Inside, select Regal Halos to access two key features:

Redeem Crystalized Regal Fragments for the exact halo you want
Pick up a new daily quest that awards 4 Crystalized Regal Fragments upon completion

However, the daily quest isn't the only way to earn fragments... Crystalized Regal Fragments now have a chance to drop from all Daily Bosses. This is a permanent addition to the reward pool, giving you extra value every time you take down your favorite (or least favorite) daily foe.

Recap... more bosses defeated = more chances at fragments = more halos forged.

We’re continuing to explore ways to expand cosmetic progression tied to boss content. If you enjoy this system, keep an eye out, Keswick may have more surprises in the future.

With this all taken care of, I've gotta see about wrapping up development on Artix's new intro scenario. So I'm gonna pass this over to Beleen for an exciting announcement!
