Hitch a ride with the golden Onyxhorn Beetle skyblade in the New-Fallen Snow mystery box!

When you soar on the Onyxhorn Beetle, you’ll feel downright Pharaonic. The golden Beetle is the top prize of the New-Fallen Snow, and if that wasn’t enough shiny for you, you’ve also got a chance at the Kirin Sigil grand prize.

The New-Fallen Snow is also your chance at Capricorn Essences, both in PvP and PvE versions. These are a great boost for your Ascended character, with huge Health and Attack Power bonuses, plus a chunk of Damage Reduction.

These Essences are the third-best of the zodiac essences, and they can be built up into the ridiculously good Pisces Essence. The ★Capricorn Essence is generally considered better for PvP because of its focus on Skill Acc./Eva., while the ☆Capricorn Essence’s Damage Reduction applies versus mobs in the Affinity Lands. (Full stats are below.)

We’re also rereleasing some of your favorite mystery boxes this week. The Sidereel Scroll, Maiden’s Reserve, Yin-Yang Scroll and Rainbow Mist are all back in the Marketplace for a limited time only.

The Sidereel Scroll holds the essence of the Astral Trident, a three-bladed Skyblade. You can also get a coupon for either a ★ or ☆ Capricorn Essence, just two tiers shy of the top-tier Pisces Essence. You’ll want to have ★ essences in PvP and ☆ essences in PvE.

The Maiden’s Reserve and Yin-Yang mystery boxes include the powerful Firmus and Soul Scepter espers. Use them as the basis for a powerful ascended esper, or fuse their powerful skills into your own esper!

The Spectra Vapor is your ticket to the crystalline monster, the Spectral Beast himself. This mount was so awesome we made a video just to spotlight it.
