Valentine's Day, Blade & Soul Style
Valentine's Day is almost here! And of course Team Bloodlust and NCSoft have some great gifts for their players in the form of tantalizing doboks from Kim Hyung-tae.

As far as we understand there will be two types of the angelic white Valentine's day doboks and one black set. We were given a preview of these outfits on the Jin, Gon, and Lyn females, and we might have more to show after maintenance on the 13th.

Happy Valentine's day from the Dojo, Team Bloodlust, and NCSoft!






A special thanks to Chan and Daman for finding this so quickly.

The Spiral Labyrinth
The Spiral Labyrinth will be separated into three descending floors, each floor will contain many rooms that hold a variety of challenges including some Qing Gong trials. Players must clear an entire floor in order to advance to the next. The awaited legendary weapons are stored in the Spiral Labyrinth, conquer this difficult maze and discover the hidden power that awaits you in these weapons.


Little information has been given about these legendary weapons. Their exact appearance and stats are currently unknown. However, Team Bloodlust was kind enough to provide an image that contains the silhouettes, check it out below.


The Spiral Labyrinth will also provide a new outfit and weapon for those courageous enough to face the God of Lightning and Wind. The outfit comes in Gold and Blue. Keep in mind that these sets and weapons are not of legendary quality.





The Frozen Warehouse
The Frozen Warehouse is a new six man dungeon that will require an immense amount of teamwork to conquer as players will only be allowed to enter the dungeon once a day. Defeat Chung-Ryong-Gwee, a relative to Juk-Ryong-Gwee, to receive a clue on the secrets of the Legendary weapons. You'll also have a chance to receive some new powerful gear as you progress through the Frozen Warehouse.



The Tower of Mushin, 8th floor
An unexpected challenge awaits you here, you must pass the tests given by the Mushin himself, Chun Jin-Kwon. A new leaderboard system will be added so you can brag to your friends about your score.


The Duel
This new feature gives everyone a chance to prove themselves as the best PvP player on the entire server! Better yet, all the servers combined! With a sophisticated match making system you'll always be matched against an opponent of equal skill and strength. The dueling grounds will contain two modes, 1v1 and 3v3.
