The world map is closed: 34 seas. The last six make up the Eastern Reaches, for captains from level 43 to 50: the Eastern Palms, the Turquoise Lagoons, the Mist Woods, the Eastern Wall, the Broken Glacier and Aurora Cape.
For the first time the route splits: at the Black Reef, one branch heads into the green east and the other climbs into the ice.
At the end of the ice lives the Aurora Titan, the toughest boss at sea. Four captains almost never bring it down; five, well equipped, do.
The battlegrounds grew too. Besides Capture the Flag, there is now Tide Dominion, with three areas to hold up to 500 points, and Bastion Assault, where each side guards three towers and a base and sends waves of ships against the other. The three modes take turns week by week during events.
