Clarifying Arcane Hooks and Mythic Helms In the Next Expansion

[Samhayne]

We want to clarify the itemization plans in regard to the current Arcane and Mythic items:

• Arcane Rogue Weapon: Blackbeard's Nefarious Hooks
• Mythic Helms

In the coming Battle of Nordr expansion, slated to arrive in late April, will not have a new Arcane Rogue weapon nor new Mythic Helms. There will be a new Warrior Arcane Weapon and there will be new Mythic Chest Armor pieces for each class.

Blackbeard's Nefarious Hooks will still be a level 26 item - but because it is such a powerful Arcane rarity weapon it will still have merit, even when compared to the level 31 elite legendary rogue weapons that will be found in Nordr.

Mythic Helms will still be level 26 items - but because they are Mythic level rarity they will still have merit, even when compared to the level 31 elite legendary helms to be found from adventuring in Nordr.

Both Blackbeard's Nefarious Hooks and the Mythic Helms will still drop from the Kraken Isles content.

We hope this helps to clarify any misconceptions regarding these items.
